Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm gonna say this right now. The biggest story on
the planet is kind of a story.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
What what he said it? He said it, He said it,
And everybody's like, but what about Trump's tweet thinging Ma
Barber about Obama?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
What about Epstein, which is important story. We're gonna get
that a little bit. But Obama starts out on a
podcast with this, are aliens real?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (00:48):
They're real? But I haven't seen them and and they're
not being kept in uh fifty one. There's no underground
facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it
from the president of the United States.

Speaker 6 (01:05):
What was the first question you wanted answered when you
became president?

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Where are the aliens?

Speaker 6 (01:12):
The aliens?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
How is that not?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
How's that not real? How's that other story that we're
all talking about. We're talking about the partial shutdown, Chad, okay, whatever,
we're talking about Epstein, which is an important story when
you talk about conspiracies, for God's sakes, let's you know,
I mean, how is that not real? How is that
not the biggest story? I mean, everything else pales in

(01:37):
comparison to oh, by the way, Oh by the way aliens, Aliens.
That's all you got to say, Aliens. I'm like, oh, yeah,
I get aliens now. I knew it, I knew it
was happening. I mean, what kind of aliens are they? Alien?

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Aliens?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Like from a different Are they from far away? Are
they from are they from here? Are they from a
different dimension? I mean we could talk about I want
to know. I want to know person we should all
want to know. To me, biggest story you said aliens.
I don't care about anything else at this moment in time.
I don't care about anything else. I know you can't
tell us more, but I want to know a little something.

(02:15):
And I don't care about the red you've How do
you even start with that and not just this is
all we're talking about now. I hope you know that
this is it. This is all you're talking about. What
do you think about the I don't care aliens? What
do you think about I don't care aliens? What do
I don't care aliens? How do you carry that around?
I'm just putting out there, Yes, everything else is important, right.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
Pam doo is over fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
We get it, we get it. It's over fifty thousand.
We absolutely freaking get it. It is just but aliens.
That's all I care about it at this point in time.
And nothing like nothing. I mean, you go anywhere, it's
like there's nothing about it outside of you're a gal
and a few others. Aliens, Aliens, What about Savannah Guthrie?

(03:05):
I get it, it's important, but aliens. This would change
the entire planet. This would change everything we know. I
think he's been wanting to talk about it for years.
I think every president does you know who? They've never
told Trump you can't because he can't shut up, just
can't do it. It's impossible. You know, the minute they

(03:27):
whispered in his ears, you'd be like, I can't believe it.
But there's aliens.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
They kind of tell them stuff. There's aliens. But then
they tell them from they're from Mexico, and He's like,
let's deport them. That'll be good for everybody. Chad, how
is this not the biggest story? Please somebody let me know?
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three atch Had Benson shows your ext your Insta, your
YouTube and everything else. Love hearing from.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
All of you.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Over the weekend. Pam BONDI for at least more names
in the Epstein files where they're aliens involved in it.
There should have been click and clack.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
It is Uh.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
The names in the list are hilarious, okay, the names.
There's Elvis Presley. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing
with this. I can't even believe this is part of
the thing. There is Marilyn Nero I think when she
died he was nine and she says, this is it.

(04:25):
We're not going to get anything more. This is everything
that you have and this is it. Well, now come
to find out. And this is very interesting according to
Channel four in the UK, as they do their own
digging in sets up. I mean, there's plenty of it, kids,

(04:46):
there's plenty that the digging is real elsewhere that they
think even this three million that we've got could potentially
be only two percent of the data gathered by federal agents.
There may be another forty terabytes of stuff that would

(05:08):
be fifty terabytes from the earliest stages on, which is crazy.
And this weekend it was obviously a big deal all
over the the news circuit.

Speaker 8 (05:21):
Thomas Massey, I don't think Pam Bondy has confidence in Pambondy.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything.

Speaker 8 (05:28):
But name calling and hearing, and so no, I don't
have confidence in her.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Nobody does.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
The over fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
We recognize that. Thank you very much for that. Do
you guys know about aliens? It's keep thinking about nobody's
talking about you guys know about aliens? Anybody here know
about the aliens? He said it he used to be president.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
They've taken down documents. Before we were able to go
over to the DOJ and look at the unredacted versions,
they took down some of the most significant documents, two
of them involving Virginia Graffray's case and other things. The
picture of Epstein in a room where it's got CIA

(06:11):
written on the boxes.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, that's the other side of it. We're talking. Let's
not forget the CIA. And I know John Kirikaw, who
were trying to get on the show. He's always talked
about you know, the CIA is not like the the
FBI saves everything. You know what the CIA does. They
burn everything. They got burn bags, they're not here for that.
They burn it all. So do I think there's more?

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do I think this is a massive cover up.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Do I think it's as big as the Watergates and
Iron Contra and everything. Absolutely? Do I think it's as
big as Aliens as a world story. Probably not.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
They took down some of the most significant documents, two
of them involving Virginia Graffray's case and other things. The
picture of Epstein in a room where it's I got
CIA written on the boxes. That's been taken down. We
want to be able to look at all these files.

(07:11):
They can't keep those documents down after they've already produced them.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
They're gonna try. They're gonna do everything they possibly can
to keep everything down for as long as they possibly can.
And this is what I hear all the time. Well,
Trump's not in it, so everything is good. Trump's not
in it, so everything is fine. Trump's not in it,
so well, if he's not in it, then release it.
If he's not in it, then what are we doing
at this point in time? Why are we continuing to

(07:37):
hide everything the way that we are. If he's not there,
so be it. Let's get everything out.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
What these survivors need, They need to see some of
their own three h two forms which haven't been released,
and they also need to see some of the men
that they've implicated prosecuted.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, good luck with that. Do I think any of
that's gonna happen anytime soon. No, And the reason is
simple because while all of this may be, you know,
bad for you guys when you guys were children, the
reality is.

Speaker 7 (08:06):
A thousand over fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, so always remember that and aliens. Don't forget the aliens.
It's a clown show. It's an absolute disaster and clown show.
I think we recognize how bad this is, and the
way that it's been handled is honestly it is. It

(08:30):
does such a disservice to every one of these young
girls who are now women, who are fighting their own
battles of PTSD for being assaulted by the worst type
of humans. And Thomas Massey, by the way, who raised
I think about eight hundred grand here in the first

(08:51):
quarter as he is putting up a massive fight against
Trump and the likes who are coming after him hardcore.
God bless you for that, brother. You know what I said,
I would never give money to any politician. I'm thinking
about giving some money to Massy I am just because
he has the cohone's enough to do this and this weekend.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Two.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
This is the disingenuousness of this. There is emails out
there with him in it, in the Epstein files, and
what is it all about. It's all about him trying
to get all this stuff released. But the people that
want to protect him are like, see, he's in there too. Well,
if he's in there and he's wanting to release it,

(09:31):
what's that say. Oh, it says that he's willing to
go down with the ship. He may just do that.
Three two, three, five, twenty four to twenty three. Actch
had been to show is your extra insta? Did I
tell you about aliens? Aliens? Obama said aliens? And then
I don't know. He talked afterwards about other stuff, but
I don't care about it because of aliens. We're two

(09:55):
weeks in. Savannah Guthrie, the story's not going anywhere. Her
mom still missing. She had a plea again, another one
to the kidnapper.

Speaker 9 (10:05):
I wanted to come on and it's been two weeks
since our mom was taken, and I just wanted to
come on and say that we still have hope and

(10:26):
we still believe, and I wanted to say to whoever
has her or knows where she is. That it's never
too late, and you're not lost or alone, and it
is never too late to do the right thing. And

(10:47):
we are here, we believe, and we believe in the
essential goodness of every human being, and it's never too late.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
So they found a glove. It's been chipped off to
Florida from Arizona. People asking questions why. I feel like
there's two investigations going on, one with the FBI and
one with the PBA County sheriff. And what's going on Arizona?
Who I think they think that the FBI is a
giant disaster at this moment in time. So this is

(11:19):
again a tough situation. Still nothing is clear. Was she kidnapped?

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Is she alive?

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Is she not alive? Don't know, don't know that, And
I'm sure in the coming days the mystery will continue
to unravel in certain areas. Let me know what you
think about all of this, especially the aliens. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at chev betch shows you were

Speaker 1 (13:10):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 10 (13:13):
It's that time of the program where we go across
the pond to Milan and Cortina. All the Olympics are

(13:38):
in full effects and those exciting thing. First of all,
we are not doing well in areas that we thought
we were going to the quad god malanin failed failed,
didn't even podium.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Right We've had some issues. Was there cheating when it
comes to the judging of our pairs ice skating, it's
possible ability. But the controversy that right now is the
biggest is none of those. But it is curling. Did
Canada cheat against sveed?

Speaker 11 (14:12):
And it's okay?

Speaker 7 (14:13):
Touching the rock after the dogline, I don't know, or touching.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
The Who's doing it? You don't know it who it's
a couple.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
It's a couple.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I haven't done it once.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
You can off.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
You haven't done it once. I haven't done it once. Okay,
I'll show you a video after the game. How about
you walking around on my peeling last day and dancing
around the house here.

Speaker 12 (14:34):
How about that to show to you a video, I
don't give you were standing here.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
I thought they were gonna throw down, which is something
I think curling is missing. I tried it last week.
It is missing the fighting. But they were going at
it pretty good. I thought they were gonna start brooming
at each other. But it didn't happen. And and this
is not the first time, by the way, Canada has
been looked upon as potentially maybe skirting some of the rules.

(15:10):
And so what happened was the guy right, the curling
dude from Canada, he let it go and then his
finger stayed on you can't you can't touch the stone, right.
And as I was talking to a couple of people
last week when we were out trying curling at this
place called Tea Line, amazing place, one of the things
that we talked about was there's cheating but not cheating

(15:35):
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three
At Chad Benson Show, is your ex, your Insta, your
YouTube as well as all the other things. We got
a podcast for missing the show. Make sure you've had
the podcast. Hepsops out right here on the Chad Benson Show.
It's there's one of those things where they're talking about
sometimes the broom will get a little close and slow

(15:55):
something down a little bit. This though very dangerous part
of the fun in the world of curling. I'm telling
you guys this right now. We need more fistfights in curling.
Some of the big events going on today now, I
am not going to give anything away, so maybe you're
listening later these events may have happened. But one of
the things I don't want to do because I know
a lot of people listen and we're very blessed to

(16:17):
have that, but I don't want to give it away,
right and ruin NBC, they spend a lot of money
on this, so they got the TV right say, you
want to make sure you know that they're they're not
getting their stuff blown out of the water, And like,
I don't want to watch it now. For US today,
I think the biggest thing for me women hockey. US
takes on Sweden, Canada takes on Switzerland. We've been dominant,

(16:39):
so that's awesome. They've got a bunch of ice skating today,
freestyle skiing as well, figure skating as well the pairs final,
so all of that stuff is going on along with
curling and Bob's ledding and whatnot. But the big thing
today for US is semi finals. I think in women's

(17:01):
hockey and a men we've been cruising, so I think
we're gonna I think, you know, I mean, this is
what everybody wants, right, what everybody tends to want is
US versus Canada because it's a it's a damn good
look because you've got the world's biggest television market dollar
wise paying attention, and that's what NBC is hoping for.

(17:23):
That's why they spend a lot of money. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
Sure Acts, your Instadent, YouTube and more coming up our
buddy Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research joints
the program. We're gonna talk midterms. It's Midterm Monday, straight ahead,
Chad Benson.

Speaker 13 (17:37):
Show, Fun, Chad Benson Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 14 (18:06):
Now it's time for Midterm Mondays, where we break down
the biggest races from the midterms.

Speaker 15 (18:12):
Who will control the House, who will control the Senate.

Speaker 14 (18:16):
We discussed with Jim Kennedy Midterm Mondays.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Every Monday at this time we sit down and we
bring you midterm Mondays is where we discussed the midterms,
the things you need to know about as we barreled
towards those midterms with our buddy Jim Kennedy. Kennedy, it's
dute of public policy research first and foremost, Jim, where
do we stand any more retirements last week?

Speaker 16 (18:38):
Not?

Speaker 17 (18:38):
According to mind, no one has bailed out other than
the two that we had the previous week. So it's
been a fairly stable week from what it looks like.
No one is running the hills yet, even with all
the stuff that went on with Pam Bondi in front
of the in front of the Congress and all of
those fun things last week. But now no one has left.
Though people will continue. The betting markets continue to be

(19:00):
less encourage that the probability of the Republicans holding the House.
We're looking at about you know, about seventy five twenty
five is some of those numbers. I'm moving closer to
eighty twenty that the Republicans will lose the House.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Kalshi is seventy eight twenty two.

Speaker 17 (19:18):
Publing markets all the way up to eighty three percent
that the Democrats will take over and only seventeen percent
the Republicans will hold the House, and similar numbers for
the other betting markets also. So yeah, every week it
seems like it's been a couple of points are slipping
away from the Democrat are slipping away from the Republicans, and
more and more looking like a house loss for the

(19:41):
for the Republicans and a takeover for the Democrats. The
Senate side, no movements and no more retirements. As far
as the betting markets, again, we were looking at two thirds,
one third, sixty six thirty three, and most of the
markets are kind of moving closer now to sixty sixty
two to that. Republicans will still hold the Senate, they will,

(20:04):
you know, it's still it's still in favor of the Republicans,
but it is weakening and as weekends since we began
doing this about three weeks ago, so now looking good
for the Republicans in either way.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
No, it's not talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Public
Policy Research. It is midterm Mondays. All right, So the
first of the primaries are just a few weeks away.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
What do we got fourteen days away?

Speaker 17 (20:28):
We get Arkansas, North Carolina and Texas by the way
we've mentioned I'd mentioned it erroneously before. Illinois was on
the third, it is on the seventeenth, and also following
up on those with for the two weeks from now
will be Arkansas. Anybody or any race that does not
get a fifty percent plus one majority, we'll go to
a March thirty first runoff for the for the top two,

(20:51):
and the same for Texas will go to a May
twenty sixth runoff. And that could be a case in
some of the Senate primaries that are in the Senate
primary that's coming up in Texas.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
So who do we got, Like Arkansas, That's an interesting one,
all of them? I think, you know, we're looking around,
go okay, where's the big you knowversy like Arkansas, North
Carore You've got all of these ones that at times
you think, oh, could there be something here and there.
But let's be real, the entire country knows that maybe
the biggest, most interesting race that is coming in the

(21:23):
world of you know, the Senate is happening in Texas.
First the primaries Crockett, tallar Ico, Paxton, Cornyn. And this,
oddly enough, I think is so vitally important because I
think better this is the best time the Democrats have
ever had potentially of getting a Senate seat that I

(21:46):
can remember, and way better than they had when they
had Beto.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (21:50):
Yeah, Beto is kind of a professional candidate down in
Texas who, other than winning his House seat for a
few years, couldn't be elected dog catcher on a statewide
basis in Texas.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
So yeah, he was a he was a washout.

Speaker 17 (22:03):
It was funny beginning to think Colin Allred was going
to become the next Veto down there. But he's sticking
around and he's in his own little congressional seat and
it's kind of be interesting because he's got some challengers
that we'll have to see if that's going to pan
out against him in the in his House primary. But
as far as the Texas sentence seat, yeah, we're talking.

(22:23):
We've got you know, you've got you've got both Republican
and a Democratic Republicans have got You've got Paston running
against Cornin, and that is pretty you know, right now,
that is pretty.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
Much a toss up.

Speaker 17 (22:37):
One Pole had packs in up thirty eight thirty one
with Wesley Hunt that's coming in seventeen and twelve percent
undecided and uh and the last poll they've done has
basically complete it's a complete dead heat twenty seven to
twenty six for Packs and over Cornine sixteen for Wesley
Hunt and a higher percentage undecided at almost thirty percent.

(22:58):
So those races with as much which was the Hunt's
going to cipher off from that is definitely looking like.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
They're going to be going to a runoff. So they're
going to.

Speaker 17 (23:06):
Be campaigning, you know, for all that they've campaigned for
right now through the primary two weeks and they're going
to be right back at it looks like for the
May twenty sixth runoff. On the Democrat side, it's just
a it's a two person race with Jasmine Crocketted versus
Jim James tell Rico. And again I apologize that was
a little rough on Jasmine Crockett last week. I should
not have been as dismissive of her as I was.

(23:29):
But those poles are pretty interesting because one poll has
it has Crockett up forty seven to thirty nine and
twelve percent undecided, and the other one has uh Tall
Rico up forty seven to thirty eight, almost identical numbers
with fifteen percent undecided.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
So that race is gonna that there is going to
come down.

Speaker 17 (23:47):
There'll probably be somebody that will get fifty percent in
that one, but that's gonna you really determine the chance
of the Democrats in the general election. And I don't
know on a statewide basis, Chad, what's your thought you
think Tallerco's going to be a better candidate for them
on a statewide basis? Again to the corninor Paxson or
Jasmine Crockett, you think will energize a younger base and

(24:08):
a more progressive base in Texas.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Okay, So I've said this for a while. Tall Rico
has the opportunity to grab some disgruntled Republicans, I think,
to get a lot of independence and to bring back
some Democrats from the progressive insanity. If it's him versus Cornn,
I think Cornyn has a bit of an edge, but
it's close. If it's him versus Paxton, I think Paxton,

(24:34):
who I think might sneak by here and be Cornyn.
I think Paxton, though his ceiling is very small comparatively
to tall Rico, and Paxon has had many of issues
already inside of Texas. So I think there's a lot
of people that would. I think either just say I'm

(24:54):
not voting, or they're going to go out for tall Rico.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Sure.

Speaker 17 (24:58):
Yeah, Paxson's got a few few skeletons in his closet.
I think most of them have been aired out at
this point, but they just don't play well for him
and it just doesn't make him look good. And like
you said, yeah, there are some Republicans that'll kind of
hold their nose and maybe just leave that line blank,
Like I know Republicans did for the presidential election before,
where they would vote down ticket races, but some of

(25:19):
the Republicans just couldn't vote for Donald Trump and didn't
and therefore, you know, they were still Republicans, but they
just couldn't vote for Trump in some of the cases.
So yeah, so Paxson probably is very similar to that
in that case. Yeah, I would think Tallo Rico would
do better statewide than Kroco would. But again, she's going
to energize some people that tall Rico get, and I
think that she has no chance of siphoning off any

(25:41):
Republicans versus like you said, Talla Rico could siphon off
some Republicans that don't want to put up with Paxton.
So it's going to be interesting enough to see how
the primaries work out, because I would definitely think that
Republican one is headed for a runoff, whereas the Democrat
one probably won't, which in a sense could be good
for them. It is going to out than the regroup
raise money, and I have to spend a lot more

(26:03):
money just trying to make it into the into the
you know, into the actual general election in November, you.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Know, the talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Instute of Public
Policy Research, we talked midterm, mondays, I look at this
and you know, I think Jasmine Crockett and Paxton. I
think Paxton probably has the edge. But you know, Jasmine
that the issue with Jasmine Crockett and you and I've
talked about it the last couple of weeks. Man, the
primaries matter now potentially more than anything else, because a

(26:31):
lot of times the most extreme candidate, candidate's more of
a pelebrity, can get through because the people that are
Diehard's will show up for the primary. But that's where
it ends for them because they don't have anybody else
out there that they can add to the tent. And
it is going to be interesting because her disdain for

(26:52):
Trump has given her a lot of you know, credit
in the progressive world, but it's also a turnoff to
a lot of other people out there that are are
more Democrats, more classic liberals who are not crazy progressives,
and are interested in who somebody they may think is
a little bit more serious rather than in a pelebrity.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (27:12):
Absolutely, And and did this come down then, like we've
talked about before with the problem the Republicans have had there,
I would think in a sense of Democrats have faced
that in candidate quality.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
It really comes down to the quality of the candidate.

Speaker 17 (27:23):
Like we were talking unfortunately about herschel Walker, great running back,
great physical fitness guy, probably not the best person who
have been the candidate for the Senate in Georgia. Not
to pick on him, but candidate quality counts, and they're
going to get to pick their candidate, their candidate, the
quality of the candidate. And I think tall Rico would
probably give them the best shot, especially its tall Rico

(27:44):
against against Paxton. I would think I'm not sure what
a Crockett versus Coronine race would come down to, other
than I would think it would be a pretty solid
win for Coronine in Texas.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
I don't think that Krocot would be able to pull
enough people out and enough people.

Speaker 17 (27:59):
Over that dislike John Cornine when it comes to that
Senate race in Texas.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
That would be my two cents.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, that's what I feel about that. I think Cornyn.
I think Cornyn probably beats He beats her, and I
think he you know, I think that's I just I
feel he gets by her much easier, and I think
he gets by uh, you know, he he will struggle
with the likes of tall Rico because Tall Rico I

(28:26):
think has because of Rogan, because I think he's gotten
a lot of love from a lot of people out there,
and he's gotten some pushback on the right as well,
but not as much as people would think, because you know,
he is a pastor comes at things in a much
different way. So this will be very interesting. You know, Jim,
you you talked earlier about the the odds, and yesterday

(28:48):
I had a long conversation, uh with a with a
gentleman about the you know, he kept asking me what
I think is going to happen housewise? I said, look,
I think the Democrats are gonna win. I don't really
for see I said, anything crazy happening. I said, Now,
the question is is it going to be a trickle,
is it going to be a bit of a you know,

(29:09):
a you know, big tsunami. It's probably somewhere in the
middle barring anything crazy. But the Senate, I said, I
slowly but surely. I feel like they're picking up some momentum.
But I just don't see how the Democrats win the Senate.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
No, I don't think the numbers really work out for them.
There just really is.

Speaker 17 (29:25):
I don't think a path for them other than some
major collapses from major candidates that are out there, or
the ability to flip some of the some of the
open seats.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
And I'm looking at let me get my numbers up
here real quick. We've got the.

Speaker 17 (29:41):
The the ten nine open seats that are be looking as
Dick Durbin and Illinois. You know that's gonna probably be
a solid Democrat seat, Jean ji Heen. You've got some
new new running in that one. The Republicans could pick
that up and really hurt the Democrats. Tina Smith in Minnesota,
you'd think with the current state of Minnesota, that's it's
going to be a blue one unless people are fed

(30:01):
up with all of the anti ice protesting, and that
may help the Republicans again.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
It's eight months, it's eight nine months.

Speaker 17 (30:08):
From now, and Gary Peters in Michigan retiring, it's a
Democrat seat. Democrats tend to run strong in Michigan, even
though it tends to maybe sometimes.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Turn a little more purplish in the presidential elections.

Speaker 17 (30:19):
I don't can't remember the last time they've elected a
two term Republican senator from Texas from from Michigan, but
there's been a long time. I might be back to
meet Romney's father if I'm not mistaken. Republicans, you've got
Mitch mccallull retiring, you would think that's a safe seat.
Though they do have Andy Basheer, who is a Democrat,
who is you know in Kentucky Tom Tillis. They've the

(30:44):
Republicans are basically picking Whatley, who is a former RNC chairman,
who may or may not be a good candidate. I've
heard some people kind of whispering about they wish that
they've had other options other than just kind of Watley
being kind of flat out being kind of named the
candidate and the one that Trump indoors from day one

(31:05):
join the Ernst and I were retiring, you'd think the Republicans
will hold that. Cynthia Loomis retiring in Wyoming, see no
chance for a Democrat there. And Tommy Tumberville in Alabama,
you'd see no chances really for a Democrat there. So
where are the Democrats gonna get the three seats are
going to need to basically get the House, And even
they don't, they don't need three, they need four because
they can't win a tie. A tie goes to the

(31:27):
vice president. So they've got to get fifty one to
forty seven. And I just don't see where the math
works out from them, you know, for for those seats,
and there's any others that are open that are being
contested that really look like that that they can flip,
that would look soft, you know, I would say that,
you know, you've got the Florida no. So yeah, I

(31:50):
just don't see where where there is a chance really
for the uh for the Democrats to really flip anything.
And there's some opportunities out there. Republicans could flip Georgia.
I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
I don't see them flipping Colorado. You know, Montana, they've
had a Democrat there before. We'll see what what's opportunities

(32:10):
are there. So yeah, I don't think so New Mexico now,
it's not going to happen. The Democrats are not going
to lose New Mexico.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
At this point.

Speaker 17 (32:18):
So yeah, I just don't see the numbers right now.
Just don't work out me. Maybe you know again, we'll revisit. Obviously,
we've got nine months to look through this, but just
don't see the math working out for them.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Zam's Jim Kennedy. He's from the Kennedy instead of polican
policy research. We do midterm Mondays every Monday as always, brother,
good talking. We'll do it again next Monday.

than the two things start to hurt. Next thing, you know,
you start thinking to yourself, am I gonna have to
do something else with my life when it comes to

(33:18):
my job. Brian's listened to the show for a long time.
He decided, Hey, I'm gonna take some relief Factor. I'm
gonna put this thing to the test. He did, and
guess what, it worked for him. Within two weeks, ninety
percent of his pain was gone. He's living an amazing
life again thanks to relief factor. That can be you.
It's natural, it's amazing. You take it every single day.
It's gonna make a three fatty acids res veratraw. All

(33:40):

amazing and it does work when you try a three
week quick start right now. If you struggle with things
like inflammation and just day to day sometimes just getting older,
it can be painful. Watch what happens when you start
taking a relief factor. How do you get it? You

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Heavy President's Day. Many of you probably work. I don't
even know. I know it's a federal holiday. A lot
of states seven off schools around. When I was a
kid growing up, we are you back in the long
ago days. I always tell everybody this, how long ago,
And my kids don't understand. Even my son who lives
in Los Angeles or San Diego, he doesn't understand. When

(37:16):
I was a kid growing up, we had earthquake drills.
Once a year, we'd do a fire drill, but never
we never had any you know, crazy stuff that you
have now with with active shooters. But we did have
so we were in something I was at. Long Beach
was one of the hubs of building, you know McDonald
Douglas and all this stuff of building stuff for the military.

(37:38):
We did used to have, you know, in case of
a nuclear bomb underneath your desk was one of our drills.
But one of the things I was gonna say, was
back in our day, we had two Mondays off in

(37:59):
a row, which was awesome, and then we had a
Friday Monday, which I also thought was awesome. It was cool.
It was a kid, and you thinking of yourself self,
I would like to know a little bit more about
President's Day. How did we get here? And you know what,
you're right. Now it's time to learn a little something

(38:19):
you didn't know. Now it's time to find out what
happened on.

Speaker 15 (38:24):
This day in history.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Now, this is not your normal this day in history,
because we're celebrating President's Day, which happens on the third
Monday of February. Okay, celebrating the founding father, George Washington.
So as we talk about some of the stuff you

(38:49):
didn't know, let's put it into context. First of all,
we know who George is.

Speaker 15 (38:52):
Right.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
So in the first holidays create in honor of an
individual American, Washington's actual birthdays to twenty second. In nineteen
seventy one, under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Congress moved
several federal holidays to Mondays to create long weekends. Washington's
birthday was shifted to the third Monday in the February.
And then, of course, as you know, retail sales got

(39:15):
involved and you can't go anywhere without a President's Day
sales sal sales sale. The idea expanded to honor Abraham
Lincoln as well, and instead of just being Washington's birthday,
now it's called President's Day, which is you know what,
we're celebrating the president's trumpsall. It's my day too, because

(39:38):
I happened to also be a president, and I want
a whole weekend plus a week. I'd like a week.
So in the eighteen huners, Washington's birthday was celebrated informally
eighteen eighty five, officially became a federal holiday. In seventy one.
It did move to Mondays. Now, you guys know a
little something you didn't know, And people ask the question

(40:00):
because they allow states to do it on their own.
Some states do allow and do have Lincoln's Day off.
They have back to back Mondays off, and that's what
I had as a kid. Oh interesting, right, It's good
to know little things like this. Oh my lord, you
guys still thinking about the aliens. If you didn't hear,

(40:21):
are aliens real?

Speaker 5 (40:24):
They're real? But I haven't seen them. And they're not
being kept in what is it fifty one? There's no
underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hit
it from the president of the United States.

Speaker 6 (40:42):
What was the first question you wanted answered when you
became president?

Speaker 5 (40:48):
Where are the aliens?

Speaker 6 (40:49):
The aliens?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yes, where are the aliens? That's what everybody wants to know,
including you, And they told you apparently kind of sort of.
And this isn't the biggest story in the world, the
thing that changes the face of humankind. And we're too
damn busy talking about what did Trump do today? Right now? Look, craziness, chaos,

(41:13):
all this stuff happening. We have to talk about it.
We can't pretend that we can't.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Talk about it.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
But for the love of Sweet Mother of Goodness, aliens.
He said it. I didn't say it. He said it,
And it was forecast in a movie.

Speaker 15 (41:29):
None of you did anything to prevent this.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
There's nothing we could do.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
We were totally unprepared for this.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Ah, don't give me unprepared.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Come on.

Speaker 17 (41:37):
It was what in the nineteen fifties, whatever you you
had that spaceship dead Hell.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Yeah, that thing that you found in New.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Mexico, Dead that was not the spaceship.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
Was that Roll russ Well?

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Russ Well in Mexico?

Speaker 15 (41:48):
Yeah, No, you had the spaceship and you had the bodies.
They were all locked up in a bunk. Cut That
was that, David. Area fifty one, right, Area fifty one.

Speaker 19 (41:58):
You know, Dan, nothing, sir, Regardless of what you may
have read in the tabloids, there have.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Never been any spacecraft recovered by hair government.

Speaker 15 (42:11):
Take my word for it. There's no Area fifty one.
There's no recovered spaceship.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Excuse me, mister president. That's not entirely accurate. Se See,
they knew and what a Trump just do? We just
doubled the budget for the military. We're not even pretending anymore.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
We know.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
He came out, he said, there's hayliads.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
Why the hell wasn't.

Speaker 6 (42:34):
I told about this place?

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Who words, mister president? Possible deniability.

Speaker 15 (42:39):
I don't understand where does all this come from? How
do you get funding for something like this?

Speaker 19 (42:44):
You don't actually think they spend twenty thousand dollars on
a hammer, thirty thousand dollars on a toilet?

Speaker 6 (42:49):
See do you No?

Speaker 2 (42:52):
We thought people were profiting off of us, but we
really found out they were just using it for alien
stuff aside. Why isn't this a bigger story? Honestly? Why
isn't anybody going Did he just say there's aliens? He
said it right like he said he always got weird.
You guys, remember when he was on Colbert and he

(43:14):
started talking, you know, Colbert kept asking him. I think
it was maybe the first time he was on Colbert
asking him about aliens, and he jokes really quick, and
then he got super serious and basically told Colbert shut
it up. Well now he didn't have to worry. Right now,
he doesn't have to worry. He comes on out and
says it, I'm gonna play it for you again. Why

(43:35):
isn't this bigger? Straight out the podcast? Obama, are aliens real?

Speaker 5 (43:41):
H They're real, but I haven't seen him?

Speaker 2 (43:44):
And there you go. That's it. They're real, but I
haven't seen him, Like plausible deniability. They told me about him,
but I didn't get to hang out with him and
see him. Now what does that mean? Where are they
don't know? But how's this not bigger? Honestly? He's a
fair question three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
twenty three at Chad Benson shows your ex your Insta,

(44:07):
your YouTube and more. I want to know why this
isn't being talked about more just me throwing it out there.
That's it. Curious, curious, just curious, just insane speaking of insane.
So we talk politics. We talk everything here, right, We've
been talking about aliens, to talk about President's Day. We're

(44:28):
having a good time. That's what we do here. We
talk about serious stuff and some insane stuff. I've got
several politicians and people who work in the political world
who will contact me and go, Chad, let me ask
you what do we need to do party wise? What
do you think? And I laugh and I said, look,

(44:50):
if you're serious, you got to not be crazy. Right,
someplace crazy works, case in point Seattle. Crazy Today we.

Speaker 10 (44:58):
Raised the pantoff good flag and celebration of Black History month.

Speaker 12 (45:02):
Black history, it's American history and eminent Seattle history too.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
Let's raise this flag.

Speaker 13 (45:09):
Tell there we go, right, all right, yes, all right,
all right, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
So it is. It makes me laugh. So Katie Wilson
right there, Sin mayor of Seattle, and I just sit
there and I laugh, and I'm like, the pandering is
the reason the struggles real. The pandering is the reason
that you are completely disconnected with anything real. The pandering

(45:44):
to every group you could possibly think of, marginalized group,
the pandering to anything in everybody that you could think of,
no matter who or what they are, believe they are,
it's just the goal is to get seventy percent of
the people into your tent, right, that's the goal. That's
the goal. And when you try to please everybody, you

(46:07):
please nobody. And I tell my friends, both the right
and the left, this is the problem with both sides.
You guys are trying to please everybody, and in doing
so you're pleasing a small few. But for the most part,
everybody's kind of over and done with. That's why we
call ourselves, you know, the exhawesome majority. Right, you're seeing
this in a way that is so real. And the

(46:29):
fact that you know Ice comes to town, you freak out,
You lose your mind, even though Ice has been there
for a long time. It's not like they opened an
office yesterday there. Right, we can go on and on
about this chaos. And look, the right does it too, Right,
like Trump is his goal now is just the maga
and that's it. And because the middle is frustrated, the

(46:49):
independence of frustrated. They're kind of over all of this.
The pandering is just so insane. But the left, you guys,
I always tell this. And I told my friend the
other day who is working on a few campaigns that
are running in big ways on the Democratic side, and
I said, dude, you're going to fail. I'm already to

(47:10):
tell you now you're going to lose. And he's like,
why is that? And I said, I'm going to tell
you this simple as can be. You were trying to
check every box when the average person's boxes are few.
Can I feed my family the expense of life, that's
like the number one thing the economy? Am I going
to have a job? Safety right, things of that nature,

(47:34):
not whether or not somebody gets to call themselves. You know,
you know I identify as this or you were trying
to not only please a few, you're doing it in
such a way that you're ignoring everything else, and by
doing so, you're going to fail. You're going to fail
all things, even I told him, here's the thing, all things,

(47:54):
even the right wins the culture war. So if you
guys were even in everything, the look on the economy,
the view on the economy, all of that stuff. The
right's gonna win the culture war. Now they'll go too
far and go super duper, you know, crazy and footloose,
remember the footloose, and they'll burn in books and stuff.
But the average person is with them in the culture war.
So you better figure out what you're gonna do. But

(48:16):
unless you change, stuff isn't going to change. That shouldn't
be a shocker to everybody coming out. We're going to
talk about navalny Rubio, Ukraine, Russia. But first, relief factor.
Relief factor is incredible. I take it every single day.
I think you should try it if you're sore, if
you've got aches and pains like our listener Sondra Now,

(48:39):
she had some pains right, she was struggling big time.
Like she was at the point where after hearing about
it for a long time, she said, I'm gonna try
it because nothing else was helping her back pain. Within
three weeks she did the quick start. She went from
lots of pain to I feel like a new person
that can be you. It is awesome, right, Don't let
the pain become your new normal. Don't do that. What

(49:01):
relief factor does support your body's natural inflammatory response that
causes those aches, soreness, stiffness, discomfort especially from just daily
activities and exercise'e under percent drug free formula made with
research backed ingredients including Omega threes, rizveritrol, all that stuff,
and it supports relief for everyday exercise related and age
related discomfort. Try it for yourself three week quick start.

(49:24):
See our relief factor could be your game changer too.
Call eight under four Relief or good to reliefactor dot
com and ask yourself, how's it going to feel when
you're out of pain? That's relieffactor dot com a cole
eight hunderd four relief and make sure you tell them
Chad Sencha Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Meanwhile, while the world's burning and turning in certain areas,
Marco Rubio said, Europe gave it pretty much a I
think a pretty damn good speech about Europe not depending
on us so much. One of the big things they're
talking about though, right because I can do serious things. Besides,
you know the fact that I still aliens. That's all
I heard with Obama and we've been talking about all day.

(50:13):
How is that not a bigger story? But Rubio talking
about Ukraine.

Speaker 20 (50:18):
The United States interest is to see the war end,
and we want to do what we can to make
it end. We're the only nation on earth that apparently
can get both sides to the table to talk.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Again, Aliens, that's all you got to say all day.

Speaker 20 (50:30):
The United States has been successful at being able to
get both sides to talk. I mean, for the first time,
you know a number of years, you have truly had it. A
technical level of military officials from both sides sat down
last week in the Middle East, and we'll restart those
talks again in Geneva later.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
This week, and we'll see how it goes.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
The reality and we've been continuing to say over and
over again, and we'll talk to my clients tomorrow is
simply this. There's no reason to not right now, not
right now. If you're a few of the Russians, you
get zero reason to think about any of this at
this moment in time, because you have everything going in
your favor, and Europe isn't a weird position where there's

(51:11):
need for a certain amount of heat obviously coming you know,
the energy coming from Russia. It's this bizarre world. And
then of course you've got the whole Navality thing which
is still out there. And if you guys haven't heard,
we agree with the Europeans that Navolney was poisoned. And
this was, you know, the Pooter's biggest rival politically, and

(51:32):
he wasn't poisoned once but twice. And the one that
took him out was a toxin via frog.

Speaker 21 (51:38):
It was with a toxin that comes from a frog
from South America. So a very different kind of agent,
but still I have to imagine from the same type
of program that Russia and the Soavie Union had maintained
in the in the Cold War.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
So the frog is a poisoned dart frog. You can
actually buy them as pets, and they're poison is not venomous,
two separate things. Venom injected, poison, consumed or put into
the body. The toxin is epibaetadine and it comes from
the poisoned dart frog. And so the poison dart frog

(52:12):
is it's weird again, you can buy miss pats here
in America. It's weird. Why they're poisonous. They're not poisonous.
What they consume is poisonous. Three two, three, five, three
eight twenty four twenty three at Cheatvented show is your
acture insta YouTube and more. Let me know what you
think right here in the Chad Benson Show. That's why
you don't consume them. So it's an interesting thing.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Man.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
The Russians, they don't stop, do they, And especially not
the pood or using everything he's got in his tool
bag of evil. And for those of you who are
new to the program, you're probably thinking to yourself, chat
heading him all this scrap about you know, amphibians and whatnot,
because you know, but the reptile thing, it's what I do.
It's what I love. I've had poison dart frogs and

(52:55):
everybody's like you do. The pois, they're not they because
we don't have anything. We're not feeding of anything poison.
You feed them crickets and little mealworms and stuff. It's
not the uh, it's not the thing they find on
the floor. They've tried all kinds of stuff. By the way,
they've tried using it as a way to help people

(53:17):
with pain. It's just it's the thing is it doesn't
produce the exact same thing over and over again, so
it is it's bizarre this stuff. And if you've ever
seen the tribes use it. It's interesting. Well, they'll take
the dark and they'll roll it on the back of

(53:37):
the frog, and then they shoot something and then that's
something gets essentially paralyzed and ends up dying well at
the hands of the tribe eventually. And that's what he does, man.
I mean, the reality is is this is who the
pooter is. So to think that he's going to stop
because we're meeting in Geneva, that ain't happen. You know it,

(53:59):
I know it, we all know it. He'll stop when
he is either forced to stop or he decides he's
consumed enough. And I don't see that coming anytime soon.
Let me know what you think.

Speaker 12 (54:09):
Right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (54:21):
Then Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, we've been

(54:46):
talking about all day.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Former President of the United States of America, Barack Obama
was on a podcast was asked a question right out
the gate about aliens.

Speaker 6 (54:56):
Are aliens real?

Speaker 4 (54:59):
The real?

Speaker 5 (55:00):
But I haven't seen them and and they're not being
kept in uh what is it? Fifty one?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Well, we don't know that, but they're real. Now, first
of all, should be the biggest story in the world.
Aliens are real? What if they weren't? And this has
always been my thought process. Okay, stick with me here, people.
My thought process has been, we think of aliens, little
green men, things of that nature. They I thought of, ay,

(55:29):
and they're coming here, right, and we don't even they're
coming here?

Speaker 15 (55:34):
Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (55:35):
How far? How long would it take them? Well, it
depends on how old they are, that kind of stuff,
what kind of technology they have. But what if okay,
what if it's not the way we think of aliens.
That's right. We think of them as little green men
coming from far away, and maybe they're the Grays, the

(55:57):
great who knows what they are? But maybe instead of
far away in weirdness, they're right next to us.

Speaker 15 (56:03):
Oh explain.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
So last year another story that didn't get big enough
play was a math question that was solved. Okay, So
we're talking quantum, quantum, big smart things, supercomputer, super chip,
different world, insane. I want you to pay attention to this, okay,

(56:31):
And again I find stuff like this very interesting. So again,
thinking of aliens far away flying here, little green men, spaceships,
things of that nature. Maybe more of another parallel universe.

Speaker 11 (56:47):
October twenty twenty five, a chip the size of a
cough drop inside a refrigerator colder than deep space finishes
a calculation five minutes. The same calculation would take the
world's most powerful super computer ten septillion years. That is
a one followed by twenty five zeros, longer than the
universe has existed by a factor of seven hundred trillion.

(57:10):
The man who built it, HARTMT. Nevin, founder of Google
Quantum Ai, published a statement no one in the scientific
establishment has addressed. He said the chip's performance was so
extreme it could only work if computation was happening across
parallel universes. He said, this is evidence of the multiverse.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Now do you see where we're going with this? Okay,
So just to g give you guys an understanding, here
a breakdown of how insane this is. Five minutes it
took to solve this five minutes, five minutes. This is

(57:50):
you're like, okay, well it's a math question. It's not
just a math question.

Speaker 11 (57:54):
Now here is why that matters. For sixty five years,
humanity has scanned the sky for a six from another civilization.
We checked twelve billion candidates and found nothing. Right now,
astronomers in China are rechecking our last one hundred signals.
If those come back empty, we may be out of
options and Google may have just shown us why. I

(58:15):
reached out to Google Quantum AI for clarification. No response.
I contacted three physicists who specialize in quantum decoherence. Two
declined to comment. One said something I cannot stop thinking about.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Oh now I'm curious, what was it that you could
not stop thinking about? Smart person with the British accent.

Speaker 11 (58:34):
You have heard of quantum computers, you know they are fast.
But what Google did in October twenty twenty five is
is not about speed. It is about something stranger. They
ran an algorithm called quantum echos on their Willow chip
one hundred and five cubits. The algorithm sent a signal
into a system of entangled particles, disturbed one single particle,

(58:54):
then ran the entire process backwards and listened for an echo.
Think of it like dropping a pebble into a pond,
waiting for the ripples, then somehow reversing every ripple back
to the center. A quantum butterfly effect controlled measured published
in Nature.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
So rather than do what we've been doing, which is
fire stuff aimlessly into space, they sent it out into
what they seem to be another world, another layered universes,
parallel universes, which is I mean, the numbers are insane.

Speaker 11 (59:31):
Co author Michelle Deverey won the twenty twenty five Nobel
Prize in Physics for the underlying work. Thirteen thousand times
faster than the Frontier supercomputer at Oakridge National Laboratory, the
most powerful classical computer ever built, and Willow finished the
job in two hours flat. But that is not what
made me pause. The chip's error rate is zero point
one four percent per cycle. It sounds small. The threshold

(59:52):
needed for real world quantum algorithms is zero point zero
zero zero zero zero one percent. Willow is more than
one thousand times too noisy for practic use. Google knows this.
Their own supplementary data says so, and they are still
calling it a breakthrough.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Why I'm curious as to why. The fact that this
happened is tremendous. The fact that it's too loud, too
too powerful, too strong is also something that is will
be dealt with in the future. The only way this
could ever get done is because there was another universe

(01:00:31):
that it reached out to to do math that we
haven't come up with yet. So think about that. It
would be like you trying to do a math problem
in a room and there's thousands of rooms and there's
you don't You can't do the math problem because the
math that we need for it in our world just

(01:00:54):
doesn't exist. So you're able to go knock on some
other doors and you show them the problem and somebody goes, oh, yeah, yeah,
I can fix that for you. I know exactly what
that is.

Speaker 11 (01:01:05):
Their roadmap, published November the twenty twenty five, lays out
five stages to real world applications. Quantum enhanced drug discovery
by twenty twenty nine, molecular simulations that no classical computer
can run, not a research demo. A machine that models
reality at the atomic level, operational in four years. But

(01:01:25):
it is not the speed that changes everything. It is
what the man who built it said about where the
computation is happening and what that means for the oldest
unanswered question in science. If Nevan is right, we have
been asking the Fermi paradox wrong for sixty five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
Years, which is what I've been saying. We're asking into
the regions of areas that we're hoping you know, we're
screaming into the nothingness in hopes that somebody answers, when
really the thing that we need to do is ask
is there something beside us? Rather than above us.

Speaker 11 (01:02:03):
In December twenty twenty four, Nevin published on Google's official
blog at Google dot com, he described a ten Septilian
year calculation. He wrote that it lends credence to the
notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in
line with the idea that we live in a multiverse,
a prediction first made by David Deutsch. Neven is not

(01:02:25):
a fringe theorist. He is the founder of Google Quantum AI,
and he argued that the computation worked because it was
distributed across other universes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
As I just told you, very interesting, right, just amazing.
So unlimited rooms, unlimited things going on, some of them
way more advanced than we could ever dream of. And
we have unlimited us to knock on the door and
ask the question, do you know what this is? That's crazy?

(01:03:00):
That's the ripple in time AI. While we get you know,
crazy about it for jobs and crazy about it for
you know, taking over the world and stuff like that. Yeah,
I mean, is that always a possibility. Yeah, I think
some of that is going to happen. Job wise, I
think there's going to be more opportunities. But on the

(01:03:20):
health side of stuff that they were just talking about,
imagine having twenty four to seven doctors and scientists unlimited
in what they're doing in research. Imagine that crazy. Imagine

(01:03:43):
what we're going to have, which is amazing. But a
lot of that also depends on the fact that are
we looking in the right place for certain things. Although
we do know about aliens now, but are the aliens
that we think of? So maybe the thought process of
the aliens if they walk among us. And it's weird
that we're talking about this, but you know what I say,
President Obama did former President Obama about aliens. Maybe they

(01:04:05):
can walk among us because they're like us, just from
a different dimension. And by the way, we want to
talk about something. If you guys didn't read this weekend
the Wall Street Journal, So apparently the Pentagon during the
Maduro raid used Anthropics. That's Claude. Now, this was a

(01:04:31):
partnership between Anthropic and Pallanteer. Okay, that's their data platform.

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
They have.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
One of the things they talk about now anthropics. Official
usage policy is Claude can't be used for violent ends,
weapon designs, or surveillance. But what did they do with it?
Apparently they're saying, you know, interpreting intelligence reports, processing imaginary
or assisting commanders with rapidly synthizing information. It's it was just,

(01:05:02):
you know, it's interesting that on the fly they're using
this technology. Now they said, hmm, you know, they didn't
come out and say they did, but they also said
they didn't. We're gonna get more into this tomorrow with
our buddy Mike Lions about this, but there's no doubt
that you know, AI system is amazing and to say

(01:05:23):
that there's not some being used potentially for the military
and these kind of things would be a lie. And
pallunteer in particular because of the size of volunteer because
how close they are with this administration and you're going
to use what you have and there we've got the
best chat ept right, amazing but also anthropic and yes, pallentteer.

(01:05:50):
All of that stuff is incredible, but it also goes to.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
Show you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
We're starting to integrate it in a way that feels
a little bit like now in saying all of that
as we talk about it. Apparently the Pentagon and Anthropic
have been battling. It's been very contentious with Pete Hegsett,

(01:06:17):
the Secretary of War, because there are terms that's quite frankly,
Pete is not happy with with Anthropic, especially when it
comes to military side of stuff and what they can
use when it comes to claude. So Pentagon officials are

(01:06:39):
insisting in negotiations with Anthropic and three other big AI
labs OpenAI, Google and Xai, that the military will be
able to use for lawful purposes. I continue to tell
you guys this. I worry a lot more about the
pall Andeer side of things and the data right now.

(01:07:00):
But yeah, I mean the cause. You can see what
they want. Why they're so upset they want to push this.
What can we get it to do? How can we
get it to do certain things? What will it be
willing to tell us? How can we get it over
those guardrails where it'll tell us and help us do
something potentially on the offensive side of things? Very interesting. Indeed,

(01:07:22):
we shall see how this continues to play itself out
in the future. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Mintage Show. Is your ax, your Insta,
your YouTube, all the other things. We've got a YouTube
video up. We try to do it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday usually have a video up with Zach and I

(01:07:42):
talking about the economy and things of that nature. So
if you have a chance, check out all of it,
and go to YouTube like and subscribe there and check
out all of our social media. We really do appreciate that.
Relief Factor is incredible. If you guys don't know anything
about Relief Factor. I've been taking it for a while
since my wife. So my wife has real issues with
her joints, especially her muscles, inflammation. It kicks her butt.

(01:08:06):
She's been taking I guess it's going on three months
relief Factor. It has changed her world, It really has.
There were times when I'd come home and she just
struggled to do anything, and this has really helped her
in an amazing way. Many of you listeners out there
have been trying to talk about Sandra and Brian all
the time, and several others of you hit me up
and say, look, I tried the three with quick Start.

(01:08:28):
It's incredible. It really is. It's natural, it is absolutely
incredible what it does for you just from the aches
and pains of the everyday just moving around to if
you overjert yourself working out, it helps with inflammation. I
want you to try a three quick start right now.
Go to relief Factor dot com. Relief Factor dot com
or call eight hundred and four Relief eight hundred to
number four Relief for Relief Factor. Make sure you tell

(01:08:51):
them Chad send you all right coming out, We got
your urban word of the day. I love a little
fun with some more Olympic stuff, which is always hilarious
the Olympics. As much as I'm enjoying it, the controversy
that's out there is awesome, and we're failing in some
of the things we thought we dominate in, which is
not a good place for us to be. Right now,

(01:09:12):
this is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
If you like talk radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
It's that portion of the program. Or we learn new words.
Words are good large language models. That is what CHAT,
GPT and all the AI is. We are regular language
models with a twist. Because the youth of America has
their own language model, and we like to learn some

(01:09:56):
of that if you don't mind.

Speaker 15 (01:09:58):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 10 (01:10:01):
The young have a vocabularity all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 15 (01:10:06):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Alrighty, alrighty, alrighty. Your urban word of the day. It's
a very interesting one. Slopulence. Slopulence, Yes, slopulence. What is that?

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
Jed.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
So this is a situation right where people who have
all kinds of crap they just consume consumption, more and
more consumption. Right, They've got everything you could think of, Right,
They've got everything, and they just consume and sume, and
they have crap everywhere, and so they're basically vapid in

(01:10:45):
their consumption. And you look around and instead of opulence,
they have slopulence. Just a bunch of crap hanging out there.
You go, Slopulence is your urban word? Oh the day?

Speaker 15 (01:10:57):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Now you know, yes, and I'm sure all of us
know some people that are slopulent in the way that
they are doing certain things.

Speaker 4 (01:11:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
The Olympics going on right now, and if you guys
haven't heard, there was a big fight controversy in Canada
Sweden curling. It's okay.

Speaker 16 (01:11:16):
Touching the rock after the dogline.

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
I don't know or touching the rock?

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Who's doing it? You don't know it who.

Speaker 7 (01:11:23):
It's a couple.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
It's a couple who. I haven't done it once.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
You can go off.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
You haven't done it once. I haven't done it once. Okay,
I'll show you a video after the game.

Speaker 15 (01:11:34):
How about you walking around on my peeling last day
and dancing around.

Speaker 8 (01:11:36):
The house here?

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Come on to show to you a video. I don't
give you were down here? I love it. We need
more violence in curling. What are you doing all? Been
watching the curling? You know they're going to fight tonight.
I thought they were going to start throwing brooms. They
didn't tell you that. But did he cheat? It looked

(01:12:00):
like he put his finger on the little little stone
it did it?

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
Did?

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
I'm not gonna lie to yet. There's like several different angles.
Apparently a lot of this stuff goes on. I found
that out for my friends over at the tea line
the other day when they were teaching me curly. Just
letting you guys know. Three two, three, five three eight
twenty four to twenty three at Ched Benson Show. Jurek's
your Insta, YouTube and war right here in the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up, our number three of the program,

(01:12:25):
we're gonna talk more about aliens. Also, we've got a
great story for you about redemption that is amazing and
it happened this weekend, and it happened in sports, and
it happened down under it and it's an amazing story
that we are going to talk about. We got a
little watch trending. Our buddy Jim Kennedy of the Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research is also going to join

(01:12:46):
the show. We're going to talk about midterms. It's midterm Monday.
What are the big things that we need to watch
out for in the coming weeks because I think we're
two weeks away from the first primaries. We talked a
bit about that, among.

Speaker 15 (01:12:57):
Other things, just the name of fear.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
If you're missing the show, grab that podcast our number
three straight ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
I continue to say this, it's the biggest story. It's
not being talked about. It needs to be talked about.
Podcasts former President Obama?

Speaker 6 (01:13:45):
And are aliens real?

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:13:49):
They're real, but I haven't seen them. And and they're
not being kept in Uh what is it? Fifty one?
There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and
they hit it. From the president of the United.

Speaker 6 (01:14:06):
States, What was the first question you wanted answered when
you became president?

Speaker 23 (01:14:11):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:14:13):
Where are the aliens?

Speaker 6 (01:14:14):
The aliens?

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
I'm sorry, that's How's that not the biggest thing?

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
Right? There?

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Are aliens real? Yeah, they're real? What what I don't
care about? Well, would you think about Trump and his
you know, his ridiculousness and the things that he does,
or what do you think about you know this that
I don't care You said, aliens are real? Everything else
just that's all that matters. Aliens are real. Let's just
start there. What do you think they are? What do

(01:14:41):
you think they're doing? Have you met any of them
in a sense that you think, maybe this guy's a
bit odd, Maybe he's he's he's from a different planet,
and he's he's got he's wearing a meat suit. I
don't know. There's gotta be something like how do you
go on from that? It's the biggest story in the world.

(01:15:02):
If aliens are real, it changes everything about humanity overnight.
Everything changes everything we've been talking about. I think it's
not the far far away thing that we, you know,
always think about them flying here in spaceships, more of
a interdimensional different parallel universes. But still, how is that

(01:15:28):
not the biggest story? I have no idea. And yes
Epstein's important, and yes the economy is obviously extremely important.
But this would make you sit back and go wait, wait, wait,
what aliens are real? They are? Do tell? I mean
you must have you must have learned something, right, you

(01:15:51):
must have learned There must have been something. Okay, you
may have not met them, but there had to be
something that said, hey, you should probably know this, sir.
She'd probably understand this, sir. I'm just saying that's me.
Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three. At Chad Benson Show
as your Acts, your Insta, YouTube and more, several you've

(01:16:12):
chimed in and goes ask you the same question is
how does that guy go from just just just move
straight on right, just from from the question of our
aliens real? Yes, they're real? And then he just goes
on to something else pivot wise. I don't know how
you do it. I don't. Just insane, absolutely insane. Aliens

(01:16:36):
are real. That's it. That's all you got. Yeah, now
can we talk more about you know, progressive politics. Now,
I don't care progressive, conservative, None of it matters. You said,
aliens are real. That's all that matters. That's just me,
and I think most people probably feel the same. Like
you went home tonight and your wife or your husband,

(01:16:57):
or your mom or dad or boyfriend or girl had
no idea that the world had denounced that there are
actual other beings, whether they be from a parallel universe
or from the stars. And they didn't know. And they
ask you how your day is. No matter how bad
your day was, you know, you spilled coffee, you lost
the big account, You're gonna go, Yeah, all that happened.

(01:17:20):
I don't care. Did you know about the aliens? And
like what, yeah, you're not watching the television but instead
it was Prepp What is that all about? Speaking of about?
This is about the coolest thing that I've seen in
a while in sports. You guys know, I love sports,
and a redemption story is incredible, and a redemption story
took place this weekend that many people thought never gonna happen. Right,

(01:17:43):
didn't even know if he was alive, and yet this
weekend Anthony Kimp who was regarded fifteen years ago, seventeen
years ago as the next Tiger, the next in golf.
He's forty now, he'd won three times. He was a superstar,

(01:18:08):
not in the making, but a superstar potentially. I mean,
this was a guy who was our youngest in the
two thousand and eight Ryder Cup and was fearless helped
us win the Ryder Cup in twenty twelve. Here his
Achilles bad basically into his PGA tour career. He disappeared

(01:18:29):
from pro golf. He got really hooked on drugs, alcohol,
mental health, including deep despair, depression, suicidal thoughts. I mean,
he was a hot mess out of nowhere. He decides, Hey,
people talking about trying to get me to come back out,

(01:18:52):
and he had heard things on you know you even
joked about on Twitter that somebody had said that he
hit signed for Live and he said, you know, I
didn't even have clubs and clothes or any of that stuff.
So he finally decides he's going to go and join
Live and this weekend, it all paid off. So the

(01:19:19):
last two years he'd been with Live and had struggled,
struggled big time. In fact, the first tournament he played
in he was sixteen over. He lost by thirty three shots.
And golf, that's that's that's that's a tough thing, right, Like,
that's a tough thing. In fact, Cameron Smith, one of
the best golfers in the world players on the Live Tour, said.

Speaker 23 (01:19:40):
It's so good. I mean, if it wasn't one of
us this week, to have him win here in Adelaide,
you know, at our premier event is pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:19:50):
I'm so happy for him.

Speaker 23 (01:19:51):
He's worked hard, he's you know, I actually played with
Anthony his first round back in Saudi a few years
ago and it scrappy, the sided laced and always very
skeptical at the stop. But what he's been able to
do over the past couple of seasons and uh, you know,
I dig deep and grind out and and then do
what he did today is pretty special. So I'm congrats

(01:20:13):
to him. I'm so happy for him.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Yeah, So this weekend he's on the Live Tour. So
the last two years he struggled and he was in
the relegation battle. This is where they have kind of
have the qualifying for the PGA Tour. The top three
make it in a tournament, the rest of them are

(01:20:36):
out of the Live Tour. He finished third bogie the
final hole, got into the tournament this weekend and didn't
just win. He chased down Bryson de Shambeau and John Rahm,
two of the top probably three or four golfers on
the planet to win. Check a start backer and enjoying

(01:20:56):
this out a boy. It's half of the greatest comeback.

Speaker 15 (01:21:03):
Stories in any sport in history.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
How sweets.

Speaker 24 (01:21:14):
Is that hud from daughter Bella, wife Emily, who have
helped Aka turn his life around.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
It's a tale of prevention.

Speaker 24 (01:21:34):
Sobriety, mental fortitude and the strength of loving family and
the banishing of demons.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
I love stories like this because he went to hell
and back and he rose from the ashes. And afterwards,
right there, I mean, his daughter ran out, she's little.
His wife was there and talking about all the stuff

(01:22:03):
that he had gone through to get to this point. Afterwards,
big interviews, the whole nine yards. But then he sat
down and did the big interview inside the tent with
all of the people asking him questions. And this just
I think for any body, any man or woman, any parent,

(01:22:25):
this just hits different best moment in my life so far.

Speaker 16 (01:22:29):
Obviously you know when Bello was born Emily and my
life changed. But to be able to share this moment,
even though Bella won't understand it, one day she will,
and for her to be able to run on the
green and see her dad as a loser was one
of the most special moments of my life. I'm going
to try to leave a lot of details out, but

(01:22:50):
I will tell her that you know, before she came
into this world that I didn't feel any purpose in
my life. And you know, whether you have a lot
of money, whether you have a lot of success in
your life, you still can feel lonely. And I feel
like the world is a good shoe. And that's in
your own mind. Because I had a lot of people
rooting for me. Obviously you saw it there how many

(01:23:11):
people were rooting for me. But I just want her
to know that no matter how bad your day is,
if you keep fighting, you'd never lose. And hopefully she
takes out with her for the rest of her life.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
Amen. I just thought it was awesome. We need you know,
there's enough crap out there. I mean, there's aliens, let's
be honest, that's a big story. But there's enough crap
that every once in a while we need have a
little smile on our face and realize that through hell,
you can make it. And this guy did. Good news
is got a few bucks.

Speaker 4 (01:23:40):
Out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
He won four million plus he got I think seven
hundred grand for the team thing. And now that Patrick
Reid has left and joined the PGA Tour, Anthony Kim
is now a full member of the Aces and life
is going in a different direction. I think he's grounded,
and I just think it's a wonderful thing when you

(01:24:02):
hear stories like that, because we all too often talk
about the crap, right because that sells, and the algorithms
and the constant fighting amongst ourselves, and it's good to
you know. I think uplift stories like this when in
many cases, you know, this would be a blip. But

(01:24:24):
I think it's one of the great stories in sports,
especially over the last unteen years. You get a few
of these every once in a while, but this one,
just from where he went to where he is now
is awesome. Let me know what you think three two, three, five,

Let's start with x DJ releases full Epstein file names.
What a joke. She's a clown, right, we can all
admit she's a clown. She's an absolute clown. So just

(01:27:26):
this rando list of people including Marilyn Monroe and Elvis
Presley like okay, oh my lord, false claims in Japan,
Benning Islam after a Conservative election win the IDF GAZA

(01:27:47):
Daytona five hundred. Think about this if you're the guy
who wins a Daytona five hundred, which is weird because
it's you know, it's it's Daytona five hundred is the
biggest race, right that they have, and so I mean
it's the biggest race. It's the super Bowl, it's the
first race of the year. Essentially, Tyler Redick is the winner,
but nobody would know because Michael Jordan owns the team,

(01:28:09):
and so that's all you know. You were outshined by
your owner. Congrats to Michael Jordan. Thomas Massey raised a
record eight hundred K from small donors ahead of the
heated Kentucky primary. Savannah Guthrie Motional Plea talked a bit
about that. Over to Google, Savannah Guthrie, Michael Jordan, President's Day, Ramadan,

(01:28:31):
Kevin Durant, Costco Returns, Politics, all Things Trending, and then
finally over to Yahoo NBA All Star Game, which it
did not watch. What's closed Today? Ilian or Ilia Malanin

(01:28:53):
trending three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at you had Benson Show? Is your ex
that insta right there, YouTube as well and all the
other things we have a chance like our YouTube helps
us out right here on the Chad Benson Show. If
you don't know who he is, he is the one
that is the quad god that failed at these Olympics,

(01:29:16):
and he is taking heat for it as he should. Right,
that's what happens. Right, you want everything, You're gonna be
the star. You're going to take the heat for it.
Maya Hawk Mary's also trending and Snoop Dogg. One of
the other things that's been trending for the last several
days is Stephen A. Smith. He's inching closer to maybe
throwing his hat into the ring to become president of

(01:29:38):
the United States of America. What Yep, he's inching himself
closer to running. Did you run as a Democrat?

Speaker 19 (01:29:44):
Yeah, because I couldn't see myself running as a member
the GOP. I'm a fiscal conservative. I can't stand high taxes,
but I'm a social liberal in the same breath because
I believe in living and let live. I pay attention
to the desolate and a disenfranchising. Yes, I like strong borders,
that's absolutely true. We never needed open borders, but we

(01:30:04):
don't need it to be completely closed either. We're a
gorgeous won't say it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
Sounds like you're getting a stump speech ready, Stephen.

Speaker 15 (01:30:09):
No, there's no stump speech, but I can give it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
Could you be competitive in a democratic primary? Some big
names might run, Gavin Newsom, the California governor, among many others.

Speaker 19 (01:30:18):
I respect all of them in terms of their intellect,
in terms.

Speaker 15 (01:30:22):
Of where their heart lies, in.

Speaker 19 (01:30:24):
Terms of the service that they want to provide to
this country, but ultimately, your actions speak louder than anything.
Gavin Newsom is somebody that I think has tremendous potential
if he moves towards the center, but ultimately affordability with
taxes in the state of California, the homelessness, to crime,
He's gonna have to answer those questions. Being a prisoner

(01:30:44):
of the environmentalist out there, He's gonna have to answer
those questions.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
Very interesting. Indeed, Stephen a in the race potentially coming
up next midterm. Mondays everybody, Jim Kennedy and Kennedy Institute
of Public Policy, Research joins the program talk about the midterms.
Chaff Beenzie check.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
The Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 14 (01:31:26):
Now it's time for Midterm Mondays, where we break down
the biggest races from the midterms.

Speaker 15 (01:31:31):
Who will control the House, who will control the Senate.

Speaker 14 (01:31:35):
We discussed with Jim Kennedy Midterm Mondays.

Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
Every Monday at this time, we sit down and we
bring you Midterm Mondays is where we discuss the midterms,
the things you need to know about as we barreled
towards those midterms with our buddy Jim Kennedy. Kennedy, it's
dute of public policy research first and foremost, Jim, where
do we stand any more retirements last week?

Speaker 17 (01:31:57):
Not according to mine, no one has bailed out other
than the two that we had the previous week. So
it's been a fairly stable week from what it looks like.
No one is running in the hills yet, even with
all the stuff that went on with Pam Bondi in
front of the in front of the Congress and all
of those fun things last week, but now no one
is left. Though people would continue. The betting markets continue

(01:32:19):
to be less encouraged at the probability of the Republicans
holding the House. We were looking at about you know,
about seventy five twenty five is some of those numbers.
I'm moving closer to eighty twenty that the Republicans will
lose the House. Kalshie is seventy eight twenty two poling
markets all the way up to eighty three percent that

(01:32:40):
the Democrats will take over and only seventeen percent the
Republicans will hold the House, and similar numbers for the
other betting markets also.

Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
So yeah, every.

Speaker 17 (01:32:51):
Week it seems like it's been a couple of points
are slipping away from the Democrats, are slipping away from
the Republicans, and more and more looking like a house
lost for for the Republicans.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
And a takeover for the Democrats.

Speaker 17 (01:33:03):
The Senate side, no movements and no more retirements. As
far as the betting markets, again, we were looking at
two thirds, one third, sixty six, thirty three, and most
of the markets are kind of moving closer now to
sixty sixty two to thirty eight forty that Republicans will
still hold the Senate. They will, you know, it's still

(01:33:24):
it's still in favor of the Republicans, but it is
weakening and as weekends since we began doing this about
three weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
So now looking good for the Republicans in either way.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
No, it's not talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Public
Policy Research. It is midterm Mondays, all right, So the
first of the primaries are just a few weeks away.

Speaker 4 (01:33:45):
What do we got fourteen days away? We get Arkansas,
North Carolina and Texas.

Speaker 17 (01:33:51):
By the way, we've mentioned I mentioned it erroneously before
Illinois was on the third, it is on the seventeenth,
and also following up on those with for the two
weeks from now will be Arkansas. Anybody or any race
that does not get a fifty percent plus one majority,
we'll go to a March thirty first runoff for the
for the top two, and the same for Texas will

(01:34:12):
go to a May twenty sixth runoff. And that could
be a case in some of the Senate primaries that
are coming in the Senate primary that's coming up in Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
So who do we got, like Arkansas, that's an interesting one,
all of them. I think, you know, we're looking around going, okay,
where's the big you know, it's like Arkansas, North Care
You've got all of these ones that at times you think, oh,
could there be something here and there, But let's be real,
the entire country knows that maybe the biggest, most interesting
race that is coming in the world of you know,

(01:34:44):
the Senate is happening in Texas. First the primaries Crockett,
tallar Rico, Paxton, Cornyn And this, oddly enough, I think
is so vitally important because I think better this is
the best time the Democrats have ever had potentially of
getting a Senate seat that I can remember, and way

(01:35:06):
better than they had when they had Betto.

Speaker 16 (01:35:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:35:09):
Yeah, Betto is kind of a professional candidate down in
Texas who, other than winning his House seat for a
few years, couldn't be elected dogcatcher on a state wide
basis in Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
So yeah, he was. He was a washout.

Speaker 17 (01:35:22):
It was funny the beginning to think Colin Allred was
going to become the next Veto down there. But he's
sticking around and he's in his own little congressional seat
and it's kind of be interesting because he's got some
challengers that we'll have to see if that's going to
pan out against him in the in his House primary.
But as far as the Texas Senate seat. Yeah, we're talking.

(01:35:43):
We've got you know, you've got you've got both Republican
and a Democratic Republicans have got You've got Paxton running
against Cornyn, and that is pretty you know, right now,
that is pretty much a toss up. One Pole had
Packs in up thirty eight thirty one with Wesley Hunt,
that's coming in seventeen and twelve percent undecided, And the

(01:36:05):
last poll they've done has basically complete it's a complete
dead heat twenty seven to twenty six for packs and
over Cornine, sixteen for Wesley Hunt, and a higher percentage
undecided at almost thirty percent. So those races, with as
much as Wesley Hunt's going to cipher off from that
is definitely looking like they're going to be going to
a runoff. So they're going to be campaigning, you know,

(01:36:27):
for all that they've campaigned for right now through the
primary in two weeks and they're going to be right
back at it. It looks like for the May twenty sixth
runoff on the Democrat side, it's just a two It's
a two person race with Jasmine Crocketted versus Jim James
tell Rico. And again I apologize I was a little
rough on Jasmin Crockett last week. I should not have
been as dismissive of her as I was. But those

(01:36:49):
poles are pretty interesting because one pole has it has
Crockett up forty seven to thirty nine and twelve percent undecided,
and the other one has uh Tall Rico forty seven
thirty eight almost identical numbers with fifteen percent undecided.

Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
So that race is gonna there is gonna come down.

Speaker 17 (01:37:07):
There'll probably somebody that will get fifty percent in that one,
but that's gonna you really determine the chance of the
Democrats in the general election. And I don't know on
a state wide basis, Chad, what's your thought? Do you
think tall Rico's gonna be a better candidate for them
on a state wide basis? Again to the Corniner Paxson
or Jasmine Crockett, you think will energize a younger base

(01:37:27):
and a more progressive base in Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
Okay, So I've said this for a while. Tall Rico
has the opportunity to grab some disgruntled Republicans, I think,
to get a lot of independence and to bring back
some Democrats from the progressive insanity. If it's him, versus Cornyn.
I think Cornyn has a bit of an edge, but
it's close. If it's him versus Paxton, I think Paxton,

(01:37:53):
who I think might sneak by here and be Cornyn.
I think Paxton, though his ceiling is very small comparatively
to tallar Rico, and Paxon has had many of issues
already inside of Texas. So I think there's a lot
of people that would, I think, either just say I'm

(01:38:14):
not voting or they're going to go out for tall Rico.

Speaker 4 (01:38:17):
Sure.

Speaker 17 (01:38:18):
Yeah, Paxson's got a few skeletons in his closet. I
think most of them have been aired out at this point,
but they just don't play well for him and it
just doesn't make him look good. And like you said, yeah,
there are some Republicans that'll kind of hold their nose
and maybe just leave that line blank.

Speaker 4 (01:38:32):
Like I know Republicans.

Speaker 17 (01:38:33):
Did for the presidential election before, where they would vote
down ticket races, but some of the Republicans just couldn't
vote for Donald Trump and didn't and therefore, you know,
they were still Republicans, but they just couldn't vote for
Trump in some of the cases. So yeah, so Paxon
probably is very similar to that. In that case, Yeah,
I would think Tallo Rico would do better.

Speaker 4 (01:38:52):
Statewide than Croco would.

Speaker 17 (01:38:54):
But again, she's going to energize some people that tall
Rico get, and I think that she has no chance
of siphoning off any Republicans versus like you said, Talla
Rico could siphon off some Republicans that don't want to
put up with Paxton. So it's going to be interesting
about to see how the primaries work out, because I
would definitely think that Republican one is headed for a runoff,

(01:39:15):
whereas a Democrat one probably won't, which in a sense
could be good for them. It's going to allow them
to regroup, raise money and not have to spend a
lot more money just trying to make it into the
into the you know, into the actual general election in November,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
The talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
we talked midterm, mondays, I look at this, and you know,
I think Jasmine Crockett in Paxton. I think Paxton probably
has the edge. But you know, Jasmine that the issue
with Jasmine Crockett and you and I've talked about it
the last couple of weeks. Man, the primaries matter now
potentially more than anything else, because a lot of times

(01:39:51):
the most extreme candidate, the candidate's more of a celebrity,
can get through because the people that are diehards will
show up for the primary. But that's where it ends
for them because they don't have anybody else out there
that they can add to the tent. And it is
going to be interesting because her distain for Trump has

(01:40:12):
given her a lot of you know, credit in the
progressive world, but it's also a turn off to a
lot of other people out there that are more Democrats,
more classic liberals who are not crazy progressives, and are
interested in who somebody they may think is a little
bit more serious rather than me in a pelebrity.

Speaker 4 (01:40:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:40:32):
Absolutely, And and does come down then, like we've talked
about before with the problem the Republicans have had there,
I would think in a sense of Democrats have faced
that in candidate quality, it really comes down to the
quality of the candidate. Like we were talking unfortunately about
Hersha Walker, great running back, great physical fitness guy, probably
not the best person who have been the candidate for
the Senate in Georgia. Not to pick on him, But

(01:40:53):
candidate quality counts, and they're going to get to pick
their candidate, their candidate the quality of the candidate, and
I think tall Rico would probably give them the best shot,
especially with tall Rico against against Paxton, I would think
I'm not sure what a Crockett versus Cornine race would
come down to, other than I would think it would
be a pretty solid win for Cornine in Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:41:14):
I don't think that Krocot would be.

Speaker 17 (01:41:16):
Able to pull enough people out and enough people over
that dislike John Cornine when it comes to that Senate
race in Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:41:23):
That would be my two cents.

Speaker 2 (01:41:24):
Yeah, that's what I feel about that. I think Cornyn.
I think Cornyn probably beats he beats her, and I
think he you know, I think that's I just I
feel he gets by her much easier, and I think
he gets by uh, you know, he He will struggle
with the likes of tall Rico because Tall Rico I

(01:41:46):
think has because of Rogan, because I think he's gotten
a lot of love from a lot of people out there,
and he's gotten some pushback on the right as well,
but not as much as people would think, because you know,
he is a pastor. He comes at things in a
much different way. So this'll be very interesting. You know, Jim,
you you talked earlier about the the odds, and yesterday

(01:42:07):
I had a long conversation, uh with a with a
gentleman about the you know. He kept asking me what
I think is going to happen housewise. I said, look,
I think the Democrats are gonna win. I don't really
foresee I said, anything crazy happening. I said, Now, the
question is is it going to be a trickle? Is
it going to be a bit of a you know,

(01:42:27):
uh a, you know, big tsunami. It's probably somewhere in
the middle barring anything crazy. But the Senate, I said,
I slowly but surely. I feel like they're picking up
some momentum. But I just don't see how the Democrats
win the Senate now.

Speaker 4 (01:42:42):
I don't think the numbers really work out for them.

Speaker 17 (01:42:44):
There just really is and I don't think a path
for them other than some major collapses from major candidates
that are out there, or the ability to flip.

Speaker 4 (01:42:52):
Some of the some of the open seats.

Speaker 17 (01:42:55):
And I'm looking at let me get my numbers up
here real quick. We've got the the the ten nine
open seats that are looking as Dick Derbin in Illinois,
you know that's gonna probably be a solid Democrats seat.

Speaker 4 (01:43:08):
Jeane ji Heen, You've got some new new running in
that one.

Speaker 17 (01:43:11):
The Republicans could pick that up and really hurt the Democrats.
Tina Smith in Minnesota. You'd think with the current state
of Minnesota, that's that's going to be a blue one
unless people are fed up with all of the anti
ice protesting, and that may help the Republicans. Again, it's
eight months, it's eight nine months from now, and Gary
Peters in Michigan retiring, it's a Democrat seat. Democrats tend

(01:43:33):
to run strong in Michigan, even though it tends to
maybe sometimes turn a little more purplish in the presidential elections.
I don't can't remember the last time they've elected a
two term Republican senator from Texas from Michigan, but there's
been a long time. I might be back to meet
Romney's father if I'm not mistaken. Republicans, you've got Mitch

(01:43:53):
mccalluugh retiring, you would think that's a safe seat, though
they do have Andy Basheer, who is a Democrat, who
is you know in Kentucky Tom Tillis, they've the Republicans
are basically picking Whatley, who is a former RNC chairman
who may or may not be a good candidate. I've
heard some people kind of whispering about they wish that

(01:44:15):
they've had other options other than just kind of Whatley
just being kind of flat out being kind of named
the candidate than the one that Trump indoors from day one.
Join the Ernst and I were retiring, you'd think the
Republicans to hold that. Cynthia Loomis retiring in Wyoming, see
no chance for a Democrat there. And Tommy Tumberville in Alabama,
you'd see no chances really for a Democrat there. So

(01:44:37):
where are the Democrats going to get the three seats
are going to need to basically get the House, And
even they don't they don't need three, they need four
because they can't win a tie. A tie goes to
the vice president. So they've got to get fifty one
to forty seven. And I just don't see where the
math works out from them, you know, for those seats,
and there's any others that are open that are being
contested that really look like that that they can flip

(01:45:00):
that would look soft, you know, I.

Speaker 4 (01:45:03):
Would say that.

Speaker 17 (01:45:06):
You know, you've got the Florida no, So yeah, I
just don't see where where there is a chance really
for the UH for the Democrats to really flip anything.
And there's some opportunities out there. Republicans could flip Georgia.
I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
I don't see them flipping Colorado. You know, Montana, they've
had a Democrat there before. We'll see what what's opportunities

(01:45:30):
are there. So yeah, I don't think so New Mexico now,
it's not gonna happen. The Democrats are not going to
lose New Mexico at this point.

Speaker 4 (01:45:37):
So yeah, I just don't see there. The numbers right
now just don't work out me.

Speaker 17 (01:45:40):
Maybe you know again, we'll revisit obviously, we've got nine
months to look.

Speaker 4 (01:45:44):
Through this, but just don't see the math working out
for them.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
James Jim Kennedy, he's from the Kennedy answer to the
Public Policy Research. We do midterm Mondays every Monday. As always, brother,
good talking. We'll do it again next Monday.

all it took for that to be created. Two lines,
that's it, and it looks just like them. The fight
looks real. And as we talked about AI today, the
reality of how amazing it is, how scary it is,
but what kind of game changer it is across the
board and Hollywood is in a weird position because they

(01:47:37):
recognize it. They don't want to use it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:41):
But they do.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
Because it'll piss the actors and rioters off. But it
saves money. And I say that because we work with
the people in Hollywood and we know what it costs
and the cost of Hollywood's kind of like you know,
we've been talking today joking about you know, the aliens

(01:48:05):
and all of this stuff, while not joking because I
didn't say it as President Obama said it. But the
reality is it's not going anywhere, and it's only going
to get better. And as it gets better, it is
going to give people the opportunities to be in the
club in Hollywood. And if you've not seen it, you

(01:48:27):
can go look at it and it's it's a Byte
dance company. So that was the TikTok folk that have
created this thing, and they said they're going to try
to do better to have guardrails. It's hard to have
guardrails when people are curious to find out if they
can build a movie themselves. Let me know what you think.
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. That is your ex your Insta,

We love hearing from each and every one of you
right here in the Chad Benson Show. Fun show today. Man,
we talked about a lot of stuff, right, Aliens being
like the thing because they're aliens, and the fact that

(01:49:09):
we're not talking about this more is mind boggling. But
aliens right, just crazy, just insane. We also talked about AI.
We talked about everything you could possibly think of when
it comes to just the insanity of what is going
on this past weekend from Epstein and everything else, and

(01:49:29):
including the great redemption story of Anthony Kim. If you're
