(00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. If you're old enough
to remember, it was the trialof the century. I was in the
midst of it all because I wasworking in southern California from a major radio
station and OJ was on trial,and I'm in Los Angeles, and this
is our thing we do every daywe do. I mean, it's OJ

(00:33):
joke after OJ joke, late night, you name it. It's OJ ojoj
chaos, craziness. Then the verdictcame down. Oh, the verdict.
It came down. America, theworld pins needles. This is it.
They knew the night before. Theverdict's in. This is it. They
let everybody sleep on it. Thenit happened. Sister Simpson, would you

(00:56):
please stand and face the jury.We the jury and impatent action find a
defendant or Orenthal James Simpson not guiltyof the crime of murder in violation of
penal cult Section one eighty seven AA felony upon Nicole Brown Simpson, a
human being, as charged in countone of the information. We the Jury
and the above entitle action find adefendant, Orenthal James Simpson, not guilty

(01:18):
of the crime of murder and violationof penal Colt Section one eighty seven a
a felony upon Ronald Lyle Goldman,a human being, as charged in count
two of the information. You're thelance Edo there, Judge Edo there,
the dancing ETOs. It was acultural phenomenon. It was chaos and craziness,
oh my lord, And I tellyou what being amongst it all was

(01:41):
was was nutty. Let's working astation in Los Angeles. We used to
have to go down to the courthouse. We'd rotate. There was like four
producers. We'd all have to godown to the courthouse like one day a
week and interview people. It wasjust it was. It was a circus
like atmosphere all of the time.But he was not guilty. He was

(02:01):
not Why did they find him notgoing? I think all of us understand
that the dude was guilty. Ithink all of us do. But it
wasn't about OJ. Let's go backand remember nineteen ninety one, guy named
Rodney King gets pulled over, Hegets beaten a guy by the name of
Holidays across the street. Late atnight. He films it. They arrest

(02:22):
officers, they acquit those officers.The riots happened tension in the city.
This became a black white thing,but not the way that people thought white
people. They were like, eh, he's guilty, right, This was
about something else. Stephen A.Smith talked about it earlier about what this
was really about. This is oneof the examples that you can utilize from

(02:44):
it. I brought up the LAPD, and I thought about it. I
brought up the fact that the LAPD, at least at that particular moment in
tom was so vile in the eyesof African Americans in the city of Los
Angeles and its surrounding eras that itwas more important for black Americans to make
sure we shine a light on aLAPD as opposed to convicting OJ Simpson for

(03:06):
murder. He was one individual.I thought he was guilty as hell.
I stand on it. If Iwas on the jury, his behind would
have been under the jail, makeno mistake about it. He had never
got out if it were up tome, because I thought he was guilty
as hell. And it was aboutthe LAPD. The LAPD. You had
Chief Gates, they were running wild, You had rampart division, all of
this stuff going on, and itwas like everybody was watching two separate things.

(03:30):
Right, Black America was watching aperson on trial who, by the
way, White America love Bob costhas talked about how much he was beloved.
First of all, a complicated situationhere with oj and the way that
it was complicated is is like anythingelse. In a situation like this,
you had two separate lives. Youhad a guy who was arguably the greatest

(03:51):
running back in the history of thegame, the juice a cultural icon by
the way that white folk, whitefolk, Yeah, that white folk embraced.
There was no doubt about that.The white folk embraced the hell out
of him because he was charming,right, He was a lot of different

(04:17):
things do as a star. Andthen to your point about being a cultural
force, this is all prior tothe murders. He was, if not
the first, he was the firstto do it in a big way.
An African American athlete who broke through. He said, I may have the
quote incorrect, I'm not black,I'm not white, I'm OJU. And

(04:40):
part of that was almost exemplified bya little stereotypepol sort of blue haired lady
saying go oj go through the airportin the Rennekar commercials and there were zillions
of other commercials. Yeah, hewas loved and I did the naked gun
movies. He was in AWE.He was a star, dude, It
was a star. The black communitywasn't always a fan of him because they

(05:06):
felt like his big thing was thathe sold out the black community so he
could hang out with the whites.But this was about the LAPD. That's
what this was about. And ofcourse stephen A is absolutely right. The
LAPD was on trial the predominantly blackcommunity community and the jurors didn't trust the
LAPD. And that's why it wasso dangerous for van Atter to try to

(05:31):
enhance the evidence by creating that bloodysock, because it played right into the
prejudices perhaps of the jurors against theLAPD. Yeah, the bloody sock.
Oh yeah, there was a bloodysock. And several people have said this.

(05:51):
I remember at the time, goingdid they just frame a dude who
was guilty of something? The evidencewas overwhelming. There was a mountain of
evidence of guilt. There was bloodevidence, it was DNA evidence. There
was only one problem. The LAPDframed what they believed was a guilty man
by taking one sock. One sockand pouring the blood of OJ Simpson and

(06:15):
the blood of the victim on thesock. The problem is that the man
who did it, Officer Van Adder, didn't realize that the blood he was
pouring on the sock had a chemicalin it called E DTA, which is
not found in the human body,but found in test tubes. So we
were able to prove conclusively that onepiece of evidence, just the sock,

(06:38):
had been tampered with by the government, and that created a reasonable doubt.
Yeah, and remember DNA wasn't biglike it was. I mean, there
was even going to be a trialbefore the trial about whether or not it
was admissible to allow DNA evidence becausethere was this like, ah, it's
a scientific phenomenon. We're not quitesure we should trust any of this stuff.
Dershowitz was there though through the wholething. By the way, you

(07:00):
knew else was there a guy namedBob Robert Kardashian. That's where we got
that from. So that was thefirst time that you know, people learned
the name Kardashian. Look what youdid there, Oj, I'm proud of
the fact that I helped to exposesome corruption among some police officers. In
the LAPD. I'm proud that Ihelped to disclose some of the divisiveness of

(07:25):
the country on racial issues, andI also helped to disclose the inadequacy of
the prosecution. I was sitting rightnext to OJ when he tried on that
glove. People don't realize that underthe law of California, Darden could have
had him put on the glove outsidethe jury to see whether it fit first
before making the fatal mistake. Andthen OJ, right in front of me,

(07:47):
walked up to the jury and said, it's too small. It's too
small. At that point I toldhim he didn't have to testify because he
had already made his point and hewasn't subject across examination. Yeah, here's
the other thing they did. Hewas taking medicine at the time. They
told him to stop taking his medicine, which caused his hands to swell up.

(08:09):
So they knew that thing wasn't goingto fit. So many things they
did. They outsmarted Darden and MarciaClark. By the way, I've talked
to pretty much everybody involved in thetrial outside of OJ throughout my years of
doing radio, and Marcia Clark andDarden were useless but then they asked Dershowitz
last night, you think he's guilty. You think he's guilty. So the

(08:33):
bottom line is the jury reached theright verdict. That doesn't mean that OJ
Simpson didn't do it. The jury'sjob is to determine, based on admissible,
fair, correct evidence, whether areasonable doubt existed. There was a
mountain of evidence against him, butthere was one little hill on the mountain
that was planted by the government,and that little hill on the mountain destroyed

(08:58):
the government's case. And for thisdoesn't liance to the defense attorneys. We
did our job. It lies withthe LAPD, with Darden and with Clark,
and with the entire prosecitutatorial team.Is right, man. We've got
a lot of stuff talk about today, reliving some of that wackiness. We've
got immigration issues. We've got atrial starting Monday that could be the new

(09:20):

According to retailers, the most popularHalloween mass this year is OJ Simpson,

(10:28):
and the most popular Halloween greeting isI'll kill you and that guy who's
bringing over your glasses or treats.Oh Oj died yesterday. We've talked a
bit about that as we start theshow, but I will tell you this,
Norm MacDonald. If you guys knownothing about Norm, who sadly passed

(10:48):
away way too early in life,never stopped hammering OJ to the point where
it bugged some higher ups in NBCwho are friends with and it was one
of the reasons he was gone fromSaturday Live and the Weekend as And he
just never stopped. He was brilliantin the way that he went after him.

(11:11):
And this was even pre the acquittal. And they kept saying Norman can't
do that, and He's like,okay, and then he would go out
and he would write the weekend Updatewith other people and then he would put
an o J joke. It wasjust, ah, man, what a
week right? Speaking of that,we do this every single week. We

(11:31):
take a you know, snapshot ofstuff, a stew of fun, and
we throw it all together because todayis what today is. It's Friday.
It is a Yukon Carnation story.Yeah, people will probably remember our you

(11:52):
know, two final fours and thingslike that, but people aren't gonna remember
every single win or every single loss. I think they're just gonna remember the
moments that they shared. I'm justso happy that finally poring on one to
pict jaqua. I've got a hundreddollars hole. I know what I'll say,
the burns burning old, I throughmy bargeting and do my skin come

(12:15):
on morning, I'll be fine.Fine. A new report from the FBI
shows that there was a thirteen percentdecline in murder fight. What the data
shows, which we've been talking about, the fact that crime is going down
in most places, is not registeringwith the public. I can safely walk
my dog to the Capitol today ina way that you couldn't do when when

(12:37):
we all got here. Honey,white people are scared. They're becoming a
minority. The world is brown,and they're going to do everything they can
to stay in those gated communities.I'm feeling really grateful. We're just really
happy. Fire. I'm my motorruns from I have a trans flag,

(13:07):
a bye flag, and on binaryflag all in my desk at my work.
But there's one thing I'm not openabout, and it's being Polly.
And today that actually became something Ihad to worry about for the first time.
What maybe made one to believe that, you know, either climate change
exists, that's or something is returningthat's quick. So I'm not at the
mercy of climate change. It's onthe sound Ladies. Have you ever wondered
why some men choose wonderbread women overyou? And when I say wonderbread,

(13:30):
I'm just talking about girls for abit more plain, a bit more basic
average. The next one is whattwenty years from now, I'm on the
motor room. Wow, it's drama. Forget. I don't know if I'm
going to be able to see totalsolar eclipse in the United States in twenty

(13:54):
years. Many people have asked mewhat my position is on abortion and abortion
rights, especially since I was proudlythe person responsible for the ending of something
that poor legal scholars both sides wantedand in fact demanded be ended. Roe
v. Wade and the Republican Partyhas openly declared war on women. Wait,

(14:16):
I'll never let you guys down.Man, I'll live up put on
or a ben in this hall andbeen on your team. What a hell
of a week. Huh joo.No longer with us. I love the
crime thing in there. And thenwe found out later on that the FBI
says we kind of guess to makebecause nobody really reports the stuff they're supposed
to do to us. So wejust take a guess, do you think

(14:39):
crime is down? And remember,if you're not prosecuting crime or resting people
for crime, then that's not crime. Somebody did get in trouble for some
crime, and that would be showHao Tani's interpreter. Federal authorities charging the
former interpreter for be small superstar showheyo, Tony, we're stealing more than
sixteen million to pay off gambling debts, clearing the Los Angeles dodger of any

(15:03):
wrongdoing. Authorities say Epe Misuhara committedfraud on a massive scale, acting as
Otani's defecto manager, alleging he helpedOtani, who didn't speak English, set
up a US bank account where hismulti million dollars salary was deposited. The
interpreter later impersonating Otani to steal fromthat account. Which is the questions like

(15:24):
and first of all, four millionboxes, oh sixteen million dollars. My
thing is, how did he notknow? We've obtained recordings of telephone calls
which Maansuhara spoke with bank employees,lied to them about being misterro Tani,
gave personal biographical information for mister Taniin order to impersonate him. Yeah,

(15:48):
so change some of the alerts onOtani's bank and phone stuff. So if
money disappeared and the alert would goout, like you get from your bank
that hey, I don't know whatthis is, none of that stuff would
show up. So Atani didn't know. Apparently he didn't even want to look
at his bank account. He's like, I have so much money. Bets

(16:10):
do not appear to have been madeon the sport of baseball, which is
I guess a good thing for him. It doesn't matter. He's gonna face
chargers. I don't know how longhe's gonna get. It was interesting,
Axios, It's a great it wasa great headline today. Otani interpreter.
I'm terrible at this betting thing.Huh. You think sixteen million dollars?

(16:33):
Sixteen million dollars. Uh, let'stake a look at some of the stuff.
Technically I did steal from him.It's all over for me. The
interpreter, miss O'Hara, who alsowas Atani's like best friend. That's what
he texts his bookmaker. The complaintalleged ms Harr made about nineteen thousand wagers

(16:56):
between December twenty first, twenty twentyone in January twenty twenty four. So
this just went on a couple monthsago, averaging roughly twelve thousand, eight
hundred dollars a bet. Are youready for this? He had a negative
net balance of forty million dollars.One of his other techs said, I'm
terrible at this sport betting thing.Huh lol. Any chance you can bump

(17:18):
me again? As you know,you don't have to worry about me not
paying you do now? Three two, three, five, three eight twenty
four to twenty three at Chad BensonShow's your Twitter if you miss any show
grabbed the podcast Chad Benson Chat,The Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts,

(17:56):
Independent Life. This is for allthe talk of all the other stuff going
on out there. I've seen moreand more pundits come forward, and I
think we all know this to betrue when it comes to elections, presidential
elections in particular, Inflation is akiller. Inflation is a killer. Yes,

(18:18):
abortion is a big deal, andwe'll get people out to the polls
in certain states. Depends on whereyou get it on the ballot. But
remember it's seven states that matter,seven swing states. About five hundred thousand
to a million voters potentially in thosestates that are going to sway this election

(18:41):
one way or another. Outside ofsomething chaotic, right, if there's a
massive terror attack, they trace itback to the border, and it's all
basically shows that this their policies haveled to something like this. Then all
bets are off in a lot ofdifferent places. But inflation, and inflation
is coming in hot. Yesterday inthe Rose Guard of the President said that

(19:03):
when he came into office, inflationwas skyrocketing. But it was one point
four percent in January of twenty twentyone, and that was the eleventh consecutive
month at that time under two percent. So it was the president misleading Americans.
So when the President took office,and you know this, there was
a pandemic. It was closing downbusinesses, closing down schools, and so
it was drastically disrupting the supply chain. Let's not forget about that. And

(19:26):
that caused inflation around the world toincrease. And then further increasing inflation was
the Russia's war, Russia's war inUkraine. So the president took historic action
to deal with the disruption of thesupply chain. We have made progress in
lowering costs. She's so full ofit. The supply chain was an issue.
Handing out gobs of cash also anissue. I said this about Trump's

(19:49):
first term. Okay, we closedeverything down. You had you can't tell
the world, Hey, we're closingeverything down, and you can't make any
money, so you had to getpeople some living expenses, and you did.
I wasn't a fan of the secondone. And by the time Biden,
he's like, I want to givemoney out. That just ranted Hogwhile

(20:11):
inflation is an issue, like Isaid, abortion will be an issue,
but I think, you know,we'll talk a bit about it next hour.
I think Arizona will put to bed, hopefully next week, that chaos
and craziness, that one hundred andsixty year low that they put into effect.
I think that will eventually be youknow, they'll move on from it.
And then what, well, you'vegot still the economy, and the

(20:33):
economy has two economies, and we'regonna talk to our buddy'zacch Abram next hour.
I've said this over and over again. Inflation's a big deal. But
you got to look at the economyin two ways, not the haves and
have nots. Look at it froman individual basis, you have your job,
your job is good, You're notworried about your job. You're making
okay money. So as a personwho is employed and working, you feel

(20:56):
okay, feel pretty good. You'dlike to make more. Who wouldn't.
On the other side of it,you then become the consumer. And it's
that consumer side that is pissing theDemocrats off because this is where they're like,
the economy's great. Yeah, you'retalking about me being the producer of

(21:18):
the widget, the seller of thewidget. Once I'm no longer that and
I become mom, dad, consumer, whatever it is. I've got sticker
shock and it's driving me crazy.And inflation will still be the number one
issue. So you'll have abortion bigissue. You're going to have border big

(21:40):
issue, and you're going to havethe economy what would be in a recession?
Will inflation still be high? Thosethings are going to matter now they
may be different for everybody. LikeI said, if something happens at the
border where people got through, aswe're finding out terrorist, we're gonna talk
about next hour that have been wellcruising on through. The warning signs are

(22:04):
there, and if there turns outto be some horrific act of terrorism or
violence because of the policies of thisadministration. And it points back to that.
Then all bets are off about everythingelse because we're a reactionary society.
I think we all know that.But that inflation thing is going to be

(22:25):
the number one driver. Not theeconomy so much as your job, but
the inflation side of it. Threetwo, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chadmntonshows your Twitter tweet as texta program.
Ojay died. You guys know thatguilt cancer killed him. Complicated indeed,
why because there were two lives.We talked about it a little bit
earlier. Were arguably the greatest runningback in the history of the NFL.

(22:52):
You can make that argument easily wellas great as he was as a player,
and it's not enough to say hewas a Hall of Fame quality player.
He was one of the handful ofgreatest running backs in the history of
college football and then the NFL.And he also had quality that's difficult to
define and statistics alone don't capture it. He was wonderful to watch, and

(23:15):
he was always gracious with the press, was outgoing. He was not just
admired but beloved. Yeah, andhe was amazing the juice right, His
line was called the Electric Company withthe Buffalo bills, and he was incredible.
And then you had it was itwas It was VM before murders am

(23:41):
after murders. Two separate worlds,kind of like Kobe. We look at
Kobe in a different way. Weforget what happened. Kobe rebuilt his image
in a way that oj never did. Oj killed people. Did Kobe rape
some money, paid somebody a lotof money, and then bought his wife
uh ginormous diamond ring to say sorry, something happened in that hotel room which

(24:04):
we to this day we will neverknow about. It's just a weird situation.
But with Ojay, like I said, that was a trial that set
us into the modern society of theTMZ world that we live in now.
And Monday, there may be anothertrial and frenzy around yet another infamous character

(24:30):
according to the Democrats and Donald Trump. That's right, his trial for minor
federal I just want everybody to understandthat these are federal campaign rules that were
supposedly broken, being charged as feloniesin a state trial that at best on
the federal level were misdemeanors, buthey, why not. Prosecutors also said

(24:53):
delaying this case now would be incrediblydisruptive. So, in all likelihood,
jury selection is going to start ontime four days from now, and former
President Trump will be standing trial oncharges he falsified business records to cover up
a long denied affair from voters.What like it is, It's ridiculous that

(25:15):
this is going on. You guysknow my feelings about Trump, like a
lot of what he does. Ithink a lot of what he does is
ridiculous. And I think his fightingwith everybody and anything. You know,
I've said it over and over again. I'll say it again. He could
pick a fight with his shadow ina dark room. I think he thrives
on chaos. I like the factthat at times he fights, but a

(25:37):
lot of it also is ridiculous,and the media loves to give back.
They both need each other to feedoff each other. But this is such
a partisan, ridiculous move that andthis is the first one going by the
way, I don't think that Bragg, who did this, really wanted this
to be the first thing to gobecause I think he thinks that this thing

(25:59):
falls apart, and he's gonna beconvicted. I look at several of these
these issues. Now, I don'tknow what it's gonna happen Florida or Georgia.
There's a lot of issues there.And then you've got the DC one.
Who knows when that's even gonna getoff the ground if it does before
the election, because I have youknow, after the election, Florida and
DC haven't taken place that those aredone. But if this thing falls on

(26:23):
its face, what if he's acquitted. I think he's gonna be found guilty,
But then I think it's gonna beoverturned because it's just so ridiculous.
But thank god, there's not gonnabe any cameras in the room. Could
you imagine that? Oh my goodnessme all started with OJ, And that's

(26:45):
way I always look at. Itstarted with OJ the trials of the century
that we could watch on TV.But now that are covered twenty four to
seven, think about what it's gonnalook like Monday, surrounding every thing in
the courthouse in and around there.Wow, three, two, three,
five, three, eight, twentyfour to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,

hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm trapped in a
hashtag factory and I can't get outthe chat Benson show, And close behind
him was O. J. Simpson, newly released from jail. The restaurant
fell still. I was shocked.I didn't mean to say it out loud,
but it just came out. OJ. He stopped, turned around

(28:37):
to see who said it, sawmy black face, and correctly assumed it
was me. I was sitting inthe corner of the booth. He leaned
over all the white people I washaving dinner with and shook my hand.
How are you, young man?He looked in my eyes, and I
could see in his eyes that hedidn't remember meeting me the first time,

(28:59):
and then he walked away. AndI looked back at my agents, and
all of them had nothing short ofdisgust on their faces. And the only
one with the courage to voice theydiscussed was a woman named Sharon, who
used to represent me. How couldyou, she said, how could you
shake hands with that murderer? Isaid, Sharon, with all due respect,

(29:23):
that murderer ran for over eleven thousandyards. We've talked about that today.
OJ died yesterday the Jews he diedof guilt cancer. That's my wife
says, what kind of cancer youhave? I said, guilt cancer,
no deathbed, confection, confession.But you know, like anything in this

(29:45):
world. He look, do Ithink he did it? Yes? And
you know, Steve A. Smith, we played a little bit earlier,
talked about the fact that this wasan indictment on the LAPD heard somebody yesterday
say that they framed a guy thatwas guilty and that was also part of

(30:06):
the problem, and I thought,well, that's that's pretty well said.
I remember living through it. Itwas just chaos at the time it was,
and I was working at a radiostation in southern California, a massive
station, and I was a produceron a show where ninety nine percent of
the stuff we were doing was OJstuff from the dancing ETOs. I mean,

(30:30):
it was just lunacy. So wewere we had celebrities on, we
had That's what happened for that entiretrial. And then when it was a
not guilty, Oh my god,just chaos, absolute chaos. Speaking of
chaos, out today. Some peoplethink it's a it's a sign of what's

(30:52):
to come in the movie theaters forus in real life. What kind of
American are you? Alex Garland.Civil War depicts a model in day United
States at warworth itself through the lensof several reporters trying to cover the carnage.
Garland, the writer and director,tells me he helps people take away
from the film one very important thing. No country is immune from extremism and
violent collapse, absolutely no country.What you do is you guard against it.

(31:18):
Because you're not immune, you guardCivil War stars Kristen Dunst. It's
in theaters now. Yeah, anda lot of people like this is it's
red versus Blue. Actually, inthe movie, he wanted not have the
politics of something red versus blue.What he wanted was there to be conflict.

(31:40):
And so what did he do inthe movie? It is California and
Texas who've teamed up to secede.Oh that's crazy. Some of the other
stuff he's saying about the movie.When I was starting to make this,
I said to someone, I'm goingto make journalists the heroes, and they
said, don't do that. Everybodyhates journalists. And I thought that's insane.
That's like saying everybody hates doctors.You cannot have a society that is

(32:06):
functioning properly and safely without journalists.It's just not possible. He's right,
And I think you hear something likethat and you're like, well, I
don't like journalists. Journalists are fewand far between. Journalists care about the
story and they care about the truth. What we see on television is a
product of us as much as itis them, because we want to consume

(32:30):
conflict and they give us conflict becauseit sells. So that's an US thing
as much as anything else. Yes, we know about all the left leaning
and the lunacy and stuff that's outthere, and a lot of journalism has
become advocacy and stuff like that thatwe get. But there are still people

(32:52):
out there that do journalism. Thereare our buddy Ali Bradley's always on the
border and she does a lot ofother stuff. She is amazing News Nation.
I alway tell everybody, what doyou watch? I watch News Nation?
Why? Because if I'm going towatch any of these shows, I
go to a place where I thinkI'm getting journalists, and I'm going to
get both sides of the story.And sometimes people are very honest. Look
I'm right or I'm left, butthey give you a fair accounting of things,

(33:14):
and most people don't do that.There's people as individuals within this angry,
devised, polarized state where people actuallytreat each other very respectfully, thoughtfully
or polite, considerate, And thenthere's something else. There's a hysterical frenzy
that does not often get reflected inindividuals, but exists in public discourse.

(33:37):
And I was trying to put theindividuals and that tone and also the tone
of reporting as the tone of thefilm, not the hysterical discourse. Yeah,
so the star isn't the war,isn't the battle in this movie Civil

(33:57):
War. It is the journalism.Try journalists trying to tell the story of
what is going on, and they'remaneuvering through safe spaces spaces that aren't safe.
It's crazy. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at ChadBenton Show, is your Twitter tweet at
us text the program. A lotof stuff still to get to. More
on the fact that we're releasing terrorsuspects into our country, then they're being

(34:22):
arrested again. And then we releasethem again, what the hell is wrong
with us? You know? Isay, I continue to say abe right,
which is the my acronym for abortion, border and economy. But of
the border thing, the one thingthat can overwrite all of that is if

(34:42):
there's a terror attack. Christopher acoming out saying, there's no doubt there
are people conspiring to do things inthis country that should scare us. We
should have an understanding of what's goingon. And I'm not quite sure everybody's
paying attention. And you and Iboth know this. If something horrific happens,

(35:04):
a large scale attack that kills dozens, hundreds, and it's traced back
to the border, the narrative,rightly so, will be this is why
Biden needs to go, because hefailed at the border. And you can
blame it all on Republicans if youwant, but everybody's going to know the

(35:27):
truth and it changes that will overrideabortion, that will override the economy.
It it'll just wipe them away.So it'll be interesting to see how the
president moving forward deals with this becausethe talk of executive actions, the talk

(35:47):
of this he's got to do something, and the fact that now mainstream news
organizations are reporting, Hey, we'vegot terrorists in this country. It's not
Trump screaming we have terrorists in thiscountry and that he's a racist and all
this kind of stuff and none.That's true. No, it's true.
There are people here. We knowit, and we better deal with it.

(36:09):
Talk about that a lot of otherstuff straight ahead, Chad Benson Show.
This is the Chad Benson Show,Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This

(36:45):
is Chad Benson. We'll get tothe abortion side of the politics coming up
in a little bit, but theborder side of it is real and what
could happen. You know, we'vetalked about inflation probably being the number one
driver for most people this election.Abortion Democrats do everything they can to make
sure it's on every ballot because theyknow there are a lot of young voters

(37:06):
in particular that will show up atthe ballot box specifically because of this,
and they're hoping and praying that ifit's there, that they're going to vote
d. Then you've got the border, which is another big issue. So
I say, a right abortion bordereconomy, put inflation and stuff in there,
but across the board, and youarrange them in the way that you

(37:27):
feel comfortable maybe borders the big issueissue. Maybe the economy is the biggest
issue for some of you, maybe abortions the biggest issue. Whatever it
is. Border would be the issueif something horrific happened. So if we
trace back somebody who comes here withseveral other people, coordinate an attack,
pull it off. Let's say thatRussia Moscow attack a couple of weeks ago

(37:52):
at a theater at an amusement park, whatever border will rise to number one.
Well, Chad, I know thatTrump says there's a bunch of people
coming over there terrors, some badbut that can't be true. A potential
terror threat here at home involving aman on the terror watch list who crossed
the Southern border but was arrested thenreleased into the US, and he is

(38:14):
not the only one. An alarmingdevelopment and the border crisis. Among the
record number of migrants crossing the Southernborder was a member of an Afghan terror
organization who was released into the USby border agents. Forty eight year old
Mohammed Harwin illegally crossed into California inMarch of last year. His name is
on a US terror watch list identifyinghim as a member of HIG a terror

(38:36):
group that's killed Americans and Afghanistan.What. Yeah, Now, these are
people that we've come in contact with. Let's not forget all of the god
aways, which usually if you're agod away, you're trying to get away,
if that makes sense. Continue.Border agents suspected he was on the
watch list at the time of hisapprehension, but lacked corroborating information. According

(38:59):
to US official, CBP released himwithout contacting the FBI or Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. Harwin was allowed to applyfor work authorization and board planes in the
US. After almost a year,ICE arrested him here in San Antonio.
When he went to court, USofficials tell us ICE officials withheld classified information
about his terrorism ties. A judgeordered him released on twelve thousand dollars bond,

(39:22):
which he posted and was freed lastmonth. What why did ICE hold
back out of curiosity? Well,because one wanted to be a racial thing.
I know, I'm all jokes aside. Why why why did a person
who's a known did he get arrestedin New York? Set him free no
bail? Why did you hold backbecause now you have a known terrorist suspect

(39:49):
who's on essentially oh, my god, take the student custod he's not supposed
to be here. List you lethim go originally, then you finally catch
him, and then you let himgo again. That's ugly. Harwin's case
appears to be just one of atleast three incidents in the past two years
involving suspected terrorist being released by Customsand Border Protection. It comes as President

(40:12):
Biden faces fierce criticism of his handlingof the border crisis. Any terrorists or
terrorists linked individual trying to come intothis country is unacceptable. There are fears
about tens of thousands of migrants nowevading agents as they cross the southern border,
the border patrol chief recently calling ita national security threat. Now everybody's
like, well it's only three.Well, first of all, one's too

(40:35):
many, so let's not And shepointed out there the thing I've said,
these are the people that we've encountered. These are the people that have been
caught up in maybe thinking they werejust going to come across with everybody else.
I'm just here to work, andyou know, give me my little
parole thing, you know, whichis means you proled into the United States

(40:58):
and you can go you know,have a work visa and stuff that right
there is three she said, tensof thousands potentially have evaded, have evaded.
That's scary to think that. Andthat's why should something take place that

(41:21):
would be a terror attack on oursoil and it is traced back to our
lacks nonexistent, no enforcing border policyby this administration, it's over. It's
over for Biden. That'll be that. So while abortion will be a big

(41:45):
issue, while the economy will bea big issue, and the border will
be a big issue. It onlyyou know, I think abortion eventually is
going to fade because I'm hoping theRepublicans the right thing. We'll talk about
that in a minute. But theeconomy could go south. We talked to

(42:07):
our buddy Zach Abram bottom of thehour, and then that becomes the number
one issue. But if there wasan attack on our soil and it's traced
back, and there's no doubt what'sgonna happen when it comes to this election,
no doubt. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chadmntonshows your Twitter, tweet at US text
to program PHISA warrants. If youdon't know what those are. The battle

(42:30):
that's going on right now, it'sthe Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, And like
everything else, the battle is onabout whether or not we should have these
And a lot of these programs youlook and you think on paper they sound
amazing. Okay, Oh, sowe want to catch people, want to
catch bad people, want to getto a foreign intelligence service. But many

(42:52):
times what ends up happening is thingsget abused. Section seven oh two has
been a sticking point for lawmakers withrenewing FISA that allows law enforcement without a
warrant to look at communications of Americanswho are talking to foreign targets. A
deal with structure renew FISA for twoyears instead of five. It's a win
for conservative Republicans who say two yearsallows former President Trump, if he wins

(43:15):
the presidency, to make his markon FISA. Okay, make his mark
on PHISA. Why do we needPHISA? What is it about? What
is it? So it's supposed tobe a five year they may get two.
This is this is the way forus to surveil without warrant foreign entities,
including our people. An absolutely indispensabletool that Congress can give us in

(43:37):
our fight against foreign adversaries is thereauthorization of section seven oh two of the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. So that'sChristopher a FBI talking about PISA, Why
we need PHISA, Why it's importantthat we have PISA a tool for him.
Section seven oh two is indispensable inkeeping Americans safe from a whole barrage

(44:04):
of fast moving foreign threats. Itis crucial to identifying terrorists in the homeland
working with or inspired by a roguesgallery of foreign terrorist organizations who have publicly
called for attacks against our country.Yeah. By the way, if you
want to publicly go after some peoplewho call for attacks, you could go

(44:25):
to Dearborn, Michigan where they weretalking about death to America. You don't
have to go very far, andthey weren't even doing it in secret.
It is critical in securing our nation, and we are in crunch time with
our seven h two authorities set toexpire next week. He wants it,
needs it. I need that tool. So being able to it's one of

(44:49):
those things where's like, oh,well, I can spy on the person
who's calling here because they're calling fromover there. It helps us find out
who these terrorists are working with andwhat they're targeting, and we made and
it's what we need to stop thembefore they kill Americans and we want that,
But like everything else, is theregoing to be abuse in it?

(45:10):
That's the question that everybody who enjoysfreedom should have, is what is the
fear of the abuse and the overreachby government? Because you know it's coming.
So I think they'll get it doneand I think it's going to be
two years. But interesting three two, three, five, three eight,

(45:32):
twenty four to twenty three at ChadBenson shows your Twitter c jad b e
N sh er n some of yourtexts coming up talk a little abortion and
what's going on there. Try toexplain to everybody that the lawmakers in Arizona
didn't pass this law from one hundredand sixty years ago. People don't quite

Choe. You're listening to the ChadBenson Show. Yeah, I mean this

(47:05):
anti abortion law is being received aswell as OJ Simpson at the Pearly Gates.
Yeah, this law has completely thrownRepublicans for a loop. They hate
the law, they love the law. They don't know what to do and
This is all great news actually forPresident Biden, a perfect opportunity to hammer
the Republicans in a critical swing statefor their confusion and their hypocrisy. Dude,

(47:29):
you got a wide open net,my man. All right, all
you need to do is just tapthe ball. And President Biden was asked
today what his messages to Arizona's electme, I'm in the twenty twentieth century,
twenty first century. You blood theabortion issue here in Arizona that's caused

(47:55):
chaos and craziness and blah. Andthey're like, man, this is it.
This is These lawmakers in particular don'tlike freedom. I'm just going to
tell you guys this. They didn'tput this law into effect. Okay,
the judges ruled the other day.This law supersedes all other laws. This
was on the books prior to whenthey passed the fifteen week ban in Arizona.

(48:23):
There was still Roe v. Wade. The Dobbs decisions came down,
and that's when stuff went into chaos. This one hundred and sixty four year
law. Not one person on thisplanet was alive when this thing was put
into effect all those years ago.Not one person, None of these people.
Oh, it's just evil people.This is what they they're going to

(48:45):
repeal it. Here's where they've gonewrong. If you come out and you
say, look, we want togo through this thing with a fine two
comb and we want to make surethe Democrats are with us. We don't
want anything in here that could bringus all back to court, so we
have to go over and through somethingagain. The Democrats don't want to do

(49:05):
that because they love the issue.This is a great issue for them.
They say they want to review thisruling, that it just came down and
there's no need to sort of rushand try to pass things very quickly.
Well, I can tell you thata lot of these abortion providers and the
women that are seeking abortions in thisstate concerned about the issue. They say
there is an extreme sense of urgencyhere to get this done, and it'll

(49:28):
get done. They just like everything. Here's the thing, and this is
the problem with the right and abortion. You have no message. You don't
understand. And part of that isthe fact that you have so many people
that you've gone to in the pastand you said your pro life and they've
thrown money at you and you saidthat you'd fight for him and I'm here

(49:50):
to tell you this. If yourpro life, I'm going to let you
in on a little secret. Youguys, ready sit down, you want
to sit down for this one.They never thought this issue would go away.
They never thought they'd be stuck ina situation where this was going to
be a nightmare for them, becauseif they're fully pro life outside of a

(50:13):
few exemptions, they're viewed as radicals. And for many people out there who
are pro life, there's a lotmore moderates out there that aren't a fan
of abortion but don't want the choicetaken away. So they never thought they'd
be in this situation where they'd haveto face this. They never did.

(50:37):
They never thought they'd be in asituation where where they would have to actually
face the music of the thing theytouted. They never did, and now
they are, and they don't knowwhat to do. I never thought this
would ever get to this point.Oh yeah, I never did. Now

(51:00):
do I think that anybody's going tojail over this? I do not.
The AG's already come out and said, hey, we're not going to prosecute
anybody. I've said, I'm goingto try to stop any county attorney from
attempting to prosecute abortion in Arizona.But we don't know if all be successful,

(51:22):
and they've got fourteen days their meetingnext week, I have a feeling
they'll overturn this and they'll know basicallydo away with this law, and then
the law that will go into effectis fifteen weeks. Now that's reasonable.
I think that's what people want,and that's what the uber pro life people

(51:46):
don't understand, because again it's aboutwinning elections, and the extreme left doesn't
understand the exhausted majority the rest ofus. We just want something reasonable and
we want to move on. Forthe people who are in power, they
want to keep that power, andthis is an issue, especially at the
federal level, that they're pissed atbecause once Roe v. Wade went away

(52:07):
and it went to the states,it became a state's issue. Well,
states issue means it's about state lawmakers. They're the ones who get to raise
money, they're the ones who getsthe run on this. I don't think
anybody's going to jail over it,and I think this thing by next week
will be over crazy, So wemove on from one crazy thing to another.

(52:28):
Imagine this, your boat breaks downand yeah, a small island is
where you live. No, it'snot. The Professor or Marianne wasn't a
three hour tour. Three castaways trainedit on a remote island in the Pacific,
rescued after making a help sign outof Palm Frond's. Ten days after
the mensord deeal began, a CoastGuard ship finally reached them. A maybe

(52:49):
P eight aircraft from Kadina Airbase inJapan was able to fly over the island
and confirm that there were indeed threepeople there, and remarkably, the rescue
turned into a family reuse. ACoast Guard officer from Micronesia on the ship
turned out to be a distant cousinof the castaways. Yeah. He probably
looked at you, idiot. Yourmom's going to be so mad. The

(53:10):
help sign was pretty visible. Wecould see it from a couple thousand feet
up in the air. And thenthey went and got him. I think
this is the second time the samelittle island has hosted stranded people. At
what point on the island are youlooking around and go it's pretty lush.
You're thinking I'm gonna have to eatone of you guys. Is that what's

(53:32):
going to have to happen because there'sthe law of the sea. And if
you don't know the law of thesea. The law of the sea states
that in situations that are desperate,you can kind of do what you need
to do to survive. And ifthat means drawing straws and killing somebody eating
them, that may be appropriate.You know, they had to think it

(53:58):
at least once. I'm gonna haveto eat three two three, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson shows yourTwitter tweet at his texta program.
It's a Chad Benson show, suchChad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent

(54:32):
life. This is Chad Benson Ourtop story tonight this week. In the
OJ Simpson trial, after grizzly photosof the murder Nicole Brown Simpson were shown
in court, OJ turned his headaway and wept. It was at that
moment that he realized he would neverbe able to kill her again. Oh
that's a horrible joke. Norm MacDonaldabsolutely destroyed OJ long before or he was

(55:00):
found guilty. He never stopped.There are a few people out there that
have the cajone said enough and eventuallycost him. One of the reason it
cost him his job is trying tolive was that amongst other things. But
in norm was he was a differentcharacter. There are some people out there
that just never stopped. They seesomething, they understand something, they live

(55:20):
in it. I go back toHannibal Buris, who's a comedian. He
hammered Cosby for years about what Cosbywas doing, I mean, went after
him like you cannot believe, NonStopand basically said come get me. And
Cosby had gone after a lot ofpeople. I have a friend who was

(55:45):
at a radio station and running itthat cost his radio station a million dollars
because of the Cosby stuff, onlyto find out that stuff was true later
on. And yes, when hewas found guilty, the celebration was there,
but it cost his company a millionplus dollars on top of everything else.
The defense it's nuts, But OJay has passed away, died of

(56:05):
guilt cancer from suster. Simpson,would you please stand and face the jury.
We the jury and the above intitle action find a defendant or orenthal.
James Simpson not guilty of the crimeof murder in violation of penal cult
Section one eighty seven A A felonyupon Nicole Brown Simpson, a human being
as charged in count one of theinformation, We the jury and the above

(56:25):
entitle action find a defendant, OrenthalJames Simpson not guilty of the crime of
murder and violation of penal Colt Sectionone eighty seven a a felony upon Ronald
Lyle Goldman, a human being,as charged in count two of the information
not guilty, not guilty. Washe guilty? Of course he was.
The problem was who was prosecuting him, Not just Marcia Clarke and James Darden,

(56:50):
but the LAPD, who at thattime had some serious issues. Nobody
trusted them, black or white,with the black community in particular, and
the LAPD gave everybody every reason togo, yeah, I don't think he's

(57:12):
guilty because of what they did.So the bottom line is the jury reached
the right verdict. That doesn't meanthat O. J. Simpson didn't do
it. The jury's job is todetermine, based on admissible fare correct evidence,
whether a reasonable doubt existed. Therewas a mountain of evidence against him,
but there was one little hill onthe mountain that was planted by the

(57:37):
government, and that little hill onthe mountain destroyed the government's case. And
so the blame for this doesn't liein the defense attorneys. We did our
job. It lies with the LAPD, with Darton and with Clark, and
with the entire prostitutorial team. Yeah, who should never have been on the
case. And that's one of thethings Dershowitz, who was on the case,

(57:58):
pointed out. Marsha Clark and JamesJarden were put there because they wanted
a woman and somebody was black.That's what he That's what he claims,
and so they put them out thereand they failed. They were awful at
this. Now, I can't blamethem for the thing he was talking about,
which was they planted evidence on asock that turned out to be a

(58:24):
plant. And people will talk aboutthe fact that you guys tried to frame
a guy that was guilty and yougot caught, and therefore, once you
got caught, it was hard tobelieve anything else. And it was as
much about the PD in LA atthe time. Remember, fresh off the

(58:50):
riots, Rodney King, I workedin those riots. My mother's company was
a glass company. She had bigcontracts all over the the city, and
I worked in those riots and itwas chaos and craziness. OJ. This
was fresh off those a couple ofyears later, and people still had a

(59:12):
massive distrust because remember four officers whitebeat a black guy. They got it
on camera and they found them notguilty, and then what happened. The
place explode whoa, And it wasthe same thing. People were wondering what
was going to happen. They werewondering what was going to happen, and

(59:36):
a lot of people thought, well, this is just payback for all the
other stuff. Because think about this, the black community wasn't really a huge
fan of OJ because they felt hehad turned his back on them because he
was more interested with the white community. This was OJ was just a vehicle
and showing hey, look, youguys are liars, you guys are cheats,

(59:57):
you guys will do anything to getus. And that's what this was
about. This is one of theexamples that you can utilize from it.
I brought up the LAPD, andI thought about it. I brought up
the fact that the LAPD, atleast at that particular moment in time,
was so vile in the eyes ofAfrican Americans in the city of Los Angeles
and its surrounding eras that it wasmore important for Black Americans to make sure

(01:00:22):
we shine a light on the lapdas opposed to convicting O. J.
Simpson for murder. He was oneindividual. I thought he was guilty as
hell. I stand on it.If I was on the jury, his
behind would have been under the jail, make no mistake about it had never
got out if it were up tome, because I thought he was guilty
as hell. Yeah, but thinkingsomebody is guilty and going by the parameters,

(01:00:44):
that was the whole thing with thenightmare when it came to Rodney King.
The parameters that were set in thecourt case of the beating of Rodney
King were like in a box?Did they go outside of this box?
Well, they really didn't. Andbecause they didn't go quote unquote outside that

(01:01:07):
box, you know, based onwhat I even though I see what's going
on, even though I disagree withwhat's going on, I've only been given
this. It's not what you know, it's what you can prove. And
their problem wasn't that they couldn't provethe case. That the case is pretty
easy to prove. The problem wasyou guys went above and beyond so ridiculous

(01:01:30):
in the way that you not onlytried to prove out your case. But
the fact that you then tried toplant evidence and do certain things that you
made it so nobody could believe you, and boom the way it went and
oj was gone. He was free, only to be caught later on trying

(01:01:52):
to extort money or do something butin the hotel room in Las Vegas,
kidnapping and all this stuff over sportsmverabilia, and they gave him thirty three years.
So then he went to jail whenhe got out, and then he
died of guilt cancer. Oh threetwo three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at ChadBenson shows your Twitter tweet at as text
the program Israel Iran starting to getreally ugly. It feels like tension is

(01:02:22):
the bruin, don't you think Lastweek the IDEF canceled a lead for its
combat units and called up reservers tobolster its air defense units. So we
are seeing that there is, youknow, a defensive stance taking place.
But at the same time, theIsraeli officials are making it very clear that
they will respond if there is anattack, They will respond. Now,

(01:02:43):
where will you respond, because that'sthe big thing, responding. We know
you will. It's the war.It is saying that any attack will be
met with force. We heard fromIsrael's Minister of Defense, Joev Gallant,
and he vowed to respond quickly anddecisively with attacks on its enemies territory.
We also heard from it is WritAdministrative Foreign Affairs Israel Katz, who posted
on social media saying that if Tehranattacked from its territory that Israel would react

(01:03:07):
and attack Iran in turn. Okay, so what you're telling us is if
it comes from Iran and it's firedfrom Iran, they will attack Iran.
If it comes from Lebanon, hesblah, will you attack there? That's what
everybody wants to know, because weknow the marching orders that you're the Hasbela

(01:03:30):
is going to get is coming fromTehran. Are you going to signal that
Tehran did that. That's what we'retrying to figure out here because all the
stuff we talk about now, thisstuff changes. If Israel bombs Tehran and
some of their nuclear facilities and allof a sudden it is an out and

(01:03:52):
out throwdown, This all changes.I mean, you know, the focus,
our economy, what going on right, rush to Ukraine, all just
that will be a tender box likeyou could not believe. So it's interesting,
of course, sit, Hey,we're talking about OJA, talking about
the economy, abortion things, Yes, that we need to talk about because

(01:04:15):
this is the the time that we'reliving in. But let's not forget that
there is some other issues globally thatcould set off a domino effect that would
be an absolute nightmare. Because asmuch as Biden is trying to play you
know, the the I'm not youknow, I want them to stop,

(01:04:35):
and I don't want them to dowhat they're doing, and I don't want
them to you know, and I'vetold them that. He's also come out
and said, we're one hundred percentironclad behind them. Something happens, we
are on their team. So weshall see three two, three, five,

chat Benson Joe, hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help,

(01:06:20):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory andI can't get out the Chat Benson Show
that time of the week to sitdown, talk to our pal sponsor the
show, chief investment officer, BullwarCapital's Hack Abraham and first and foremost,
let's jump into inflation. This waswhat did I I think Larry Summers said,

(01:06:41):
you guys are talking about lowering therates. I tell you what my
money's on. They're going to haveto raise rates before the end of the
year. Yeah, watching the Fedchase their tails around the bush and this
thing trying to fit. Three weeksago, Ja Powell was saying we're going
to cut rates because inflation's wrapped up, and we were dying at the time,
going no, it's not here.We go two and a half weeks

(01:07:03):
later, they've already pivoted back andoh, we don't know. But here's
the deal. I hear what Summersis saying, and I agree with him.
There's no way they're hiking this year. They're not going to do it.
They and I think they've showed youthe plan, Chad, They've got
I think they've got two issues.A. If they were truly a political
they already would have hiked. Okay, this is about trying to keep it

(01:07:24):
as easy as they possibly can goinginto the election. And if you don't
think that's the case, then whywas Biden out yesterday saying cuts are coming.
The Fed's supposed to be a politicalWhy does Biden think the Feds the
cuts are coming. Why do yousay that, No, that's one hundred
percent right, that's what you show. It's political. Here's some Zach I
want to throw at you. AndI've been saying this for a while.

(01:07:44):
The whole thought with like, youknow, the rags. We could talk
about this, but the economy andin itself is so many different things.
And I said, the average person, you ask them how their life is
and their business life right, theirwork. They're not worried about losing their
job. Things are good. Youget to you're the producer of widget,
you're the seller of widget, youremployee of widget maker. Your life is

(01:08:06):
good. You're the human being,mother, father, consumer. Your life
is right now a struggle. Yeah, and I don't see that going away
anytime soon. The other thing thatI think that and I don't know if
they're doing this for political reasons orin competence, but I think the way

(01:08:26):
they look at employment is ridiculous.You know, we get into the unemployment
rate and everybody knows how that isjust kind of a bunch of nonsense.
But also when you talk about newjobs, what they're really looking at is
W two's okay, well, anincreasing amount of people. If you look
at the underlying data, the jobsmarket is not nearly as strong as the
headline data would have you suggest,because the vast majority of these new jobs

(01:08:50):
are ten ninety nine contract employee thinklike Uber lift all that kind of stuff.
You're gig workers. Yeah, totallythird jobs, right, that people
are taking to pay for their life. Right. And the way you can
tell that again just now so far, if the data changes, we'll change
our we'll change our view as well. But the way you can tell that

(01:09:11):
is that ours worked continues to decrease. If ours worked is going down while
job numbers are going up, thenthey're part time jobs. That's that's something.
It's crazy. Talking to Zach Abrahm, chief misment officer Forard Capital.
You know people's portfolio. I getthis a lot. I get several people
go, hey, ask Zach thisgold gold because they hear inflation, they
hear things gold gold should I owngold. How should I do it?

(01:09:33):
Should I do it through you know? Uh? An E? TF?
Should I do it through the physical? What should I do? I mean,
ask Zach this and I said,you know what, I'll ask him?
What say you? We're having areally good start to the year.
Gold is a big part of thatfor us. We've had our biggest positions
allocations in gold since just after theCOVID collapse, so so coming right out
of the COVID collapse was the lasttime we had a substantial position in gold.

(01:09:56):
Gold is doing things. I'm nottelling you to go out and buy
a bunch, I'm not telling youto some I'm making any recommendations because it's
all about what's appropriate to you andwhere you're at in life and all that
kind of stuff, all those disclaimers. That being said, gold is acting
as strong as I've ever seen it. We're watching gold go up on days
where rates and the dollar are higher. That should not happen. But I'm
getting to where I think, what'sthe reason why gold is running here?

(01:10:16):
Inflation? Okay, And in myopinion, I think that's what gold is
keying off of, and that's whyyou're seeing gold take off. You're also
seeing a lot of demand coming outof Asia, which is helping. But
what it feels like to me isthe market has sniffed out that they can't
stop, and they won't stop,and the printing will continue until inflation improves.

(01:10:38):
Right run out of paper to print, Zach, Investment Officer, Board
Capital. People want to reach outto you, and I've been several people
say, Okay, I want todo a risk review. Do I get
to really talk to Zach? How'sthis work? How long does it take?
What do they do? Because Ithink a lot of people love that,
you know, what's the risk reviewkind of thing? Because I've heard
a lot of people even talking onMSNBC saying, look, I don't care

(01:10:59):
what you guys say about the statI'm not feeling it in my portfolio in
my life, and I get worriedabout it. Yeah, And I think
you have every right to be worriedabout it. So and when I say
that, I'll throw them really quick. The reason you have a right to
be worried about it is if youbelieve we're in an inflationary environment. The
vast majority of portfolios are still heavyand all the stuff that worked in a
zero inflation, zero percent interest rateworld, so you're just not prepared for

(01:11:20):
it. So anyway, Yeah,the way to get a hold of us
know your Risk radio dot com,Bulworkcapitalmanagement dot com, Google, Know your
Risk Radio Bulwark Capital Management will comeup. I work with a higher networth
individuals, but you know, soif you're what is it now over two
or three million bucks, those arethe people I talk to directly. But
if not, I still manage allthe money. So we have five other

(01:11:44):
advisors that deal with clients. Riskreviews take thirty to forty five minutes.
It's just we're not trying to sellyou anything. We're trying to figure out,
hey, what do you need,what are you currently in and can
we do a better job. AndI won't lie to you. There's been
time where you looked at people andsaid, you know, it looks pretty
good, right, So well,no, it doesn't happen very often because
everybody's in these cookie cutter portfolios.But now, well, no, no

(01:12:05):
obligations. We'll look it over,give you a plan, and after a
couple of meetings, we'll tell youwhat we think you should be in,
tell you what it costs, handit to you and say give us a
call if you want to proceed.So pretty easy, pretty easy. Right.
I'm brotherly good talking to you andwe'll do it again next week.

(01:13:20):
been a hell of a week,Ain't no doubt about that. Got some
of your text messages coming up,including some of you calling me a Nazi,
because yeah, that's what you do. Have it, by the way,
calling me a Nazi when there isno reason to, first of all,
but secondly, when there's a discussionthat has nothing to do with anything

(01:13:42):
that you could even look at somebodyand go you're a Nazi, which is
the lefts go to for everything.But before we do any of those things,
let's look back and listen with ourears and our heart over some of
the stuff that took place over thelast several days. It is a uka
co natty. Yeah. People willprobably remember our you know, two final

(01:14:06):
fours and things like that, butpeople aren't gonna remember every single win or
every single loss. I think they'rejust gonna remember the moments that they shared.
I is it so happy that finallyOregon one to pick Jaqua. I've
got a hundred dollars walking. Iknow I'll savings burning old right through my

(01:14:26):
bargeting and do my scam. Comeon the morning, I'll be It's fine.
A new report from the FBI showsthat there was a thirteen percent decline
in murder. Fight. What thedata shows, which we've been talking about,
the fact that crime is going downin most places, is not registering
with the public. I can safelywalk my dog to the Capitol today in

(01:14:48):
the way that you couldn't do whenwhen we all got here. Honey,
white people are scared, they're becominga minority. The world is brown,
and they're going to do everything theycan to stay those gated communities. I'm
feeling really grateful. We're just reallyhappy. Fire. I'm run Wow,

(01:15:10):
it's fun. I have a transflag, a bi flag, and on
binary flag all in my desk atmy work. But there's one thing I'm
not open about, and it's beingPolly today that actually became something I had
to worry about for the first time. What maybe they'd want to believe that,

(01:15:31):
you know, either climate change existsthat or something is returning that's quick.
So I'm not at the mercy ofclimate change. It's now ladies.
Have you ever wondered why some menchoose wonderbread women over you? And when
I say wonderbread, I'm just talkingabout girls who are a bit more plain,
a bit more basic average. Nextone is what twenty is now?
Fin f r mon, Wow,it's fine out of drona forget. I

(01:16:01):
don't know if I'm going to beable to see total solar eclipse in the
United States in twenty years. Manypeople have asked me what my position is
on abortion and abortion rights, especiallysince I was proudly the person responsible for
the ending of something that all legalscholars both sides wanted and in fact demanded

(01:16:23):
be ended. Roe v. Wadeand the Republican Party has openly declared war
on women. Wait, I'll neverlet you get it down, man,
I'll live up with honor, beenin this hall and been on your team.
Is there guilt cancer? We'll talkmore about the Jews who got loose

(01:16:45):
and then died after going to jail, but not for murder. I think
people forget that he was in jailfor a long time after being out,
that he was convicted of something elsein Las Vegas. That was as wild
as it gets. Deathbed confession.Our buddy Jim Kennedy of Kennedy instead of
public palsy Research tweeted at me anydeathbed confession. I'm like, no,

(01:17:11):
no, none of that stuff justwild. What a week to text the
program three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three. That's also the voice line. You can leave a message. Could
be full of love, it couldbe full of hate, could be just
about what's going on in the worldor something you want to comment on.

(01:17:33):
Feel free to do that there aswell. Here's something talking about abortion last
hour. The whole abortion issue isanother example of the left hypocrisy. People
should have the right to make thebest choice for themselves, except when it
comes to smoking, drinking alcohol,owning a gun, eating fast food,
and healthcare providers, just to namea few. Some of that is I

(01:17:54):
be honest, you know, likeI've always said this, They're like,
what can you Because the people whoor pro choice at at any cost,
we'll say you can do anything youwant with your body. I'm like,
no, I can't, Yes,you can, No, I can't.
What can't you do? I can'tsell my kidney? Yeah, but that's

(01:18:14):
different. Why is it different?It's my body, my choice. Somebody's
willing to pay me X amount ofdollars for my kidney or liver with Jed
you want to give where you liver, you'll have one. Yeah. But
the thought is is you know,I don't know if you guys are weare
of this? Your liver grows back. So the fact that I can't do
that, what about that? Andhow many people out there need a kidney

(01:18:39):
or a liver and how many peopleout there are broke? Now, if
you want to donate it, youcan, but if you want to sell
it you can't. Oh yeah,yeah, some more people texting in as
well. Three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four, twenty three at jad Bensonshows your Twitter talking about the economy.
So yesterday the we touched on it. What's going on in California and how

(01:19:04):
many of the people that were supposedto be helped by the twenty dollars an
hour minimum wage aren't being helped bythe twenty dollars an hour minimum wage.
They're seeing their hours cut already.Some of them have been let go.
They were let go pre the lawgoing in. And one person owns one

(01:19:27):
hundred and eighty different franchises Burger KingTaco Bells says, I had a five
to ten year plan to automate alot of our stuff that has now moved
up to sixty to ninety days.If I was to do nothing, one
hundred percent of my stores would belosing money. Because he's evil. Somebody

(01:19:48):
says the law did not destroy jobscapitalism did. Corporations being allowed to fire
people just because they don't want topay blanking living wage while collecting billions in
profits cost people their jobs. Stopbeing at bl banking propaganda, Nazi ahole,
The economy doesn't suck you blanking propaganda, Nazi blank. The economy is

(01:20:09):
awesome. Capitalism sucks Capitalism that massNazi fascism. What are you talking about?
If the economy is great? It'sbecause of capitalism. Socialism sucks.
Are you aware of that? Capitalismworks, free markets work. The problem

(01:20:33):
is people. Whenever you see quoteunquote capitalism go awry, it's not capitalism,
it's people. It's the same thingwith socialism and communism and all this
like hold hand kumba ya stuff.The reality is is people screw everything up.
Now, I think that's the moralof this story. And stop calling
people Nazis. Just stop it.It's a dumb ass thing to do.

(01:21:00):
We're talking about fast food workers.And by the way, if you're a
fast food worker and you think you'regoing to raise a family and four of
one of the most expensive places onthe planet, you're an ass hat.

Chad Benson Show. You're listening tothe Chad Benson Show. Now it's
time to find out what's trending?What's trending? Signed James Dean, Norway,

(01:23:42):
Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, sera what truping? Find out
what's trending on the old interwebs.I think we know the number one trending
thing is in the last twenty fourhours. Yeah, that guy number one

(01:24:04):
trending thing except on Yahoo. Bythe way, Yahoo no Donald Trump.
Number one trending thing Iran Men's frozenfour that's ice hockey, NFL draft,
Rashie Rice, Pope, Francis PrinceHarry Buffalo Bills because of OJ. Maybe
Nicole Brown, Simpson and Jimmy Kimmelall trending on the magical world of Yahoo.

(01:24:27):
But you head over to Twitter.OJ number one Fallout TV show from
the video game Out. My uncletext me yesterday said it's awesome. It's
incredible because a lot of times whenthey do video games in the movies or
television shows, they're awful, hesaid. Not this one National Pet Day,
Paisa, the battle going on aboutthe PFISA warrants. Should they keep

(01:24:50):
it? Should they not keep it? Do sometimes they spy on people when
they shouldn't. Talked about that today? O. J. Simpson, the
juice, the masters Otani. Wetalked about that. So it wasn't four
million dollars you took. It wassixteen million dollars his interpreter took from him

(01:25:14):
sixteen million. Bronco as in thewhite bronco al collings. The juice.
Rodney King, for whatever reason,is trending. And it's funny because I
think people think the riots started.I heard a couple of guests Ray talk
about this because of O. J. Simpson's verdict, and that's not what

(01:25:39):
happened. No, that was theacquittal of the four Wide officers for beating
Rodney King. Is when that started. I know because I was there in
the midst of the whole thing.It was crazy. Ron Goldman trending as
well Norm as in Norm MacDonald we'vebeen play and some of that stuff,

(01:26:00):
you know, the the nightmare ofthat just that the entire year and a
half, two years and if youwatched him from Afar, many of you
listening. I was in the middleof the damn thing. It was chaos.
I'm telling you guys right now.It was the craziest, most surreal
thing. And you know that wasa part like you know we talk about

(01:26:26):
now we're living through history with alot of stuff that was a part of
history that you live through and youknew this is gonna be something big.
And Norm MacDonald was a big partof that because that guy never stop busting
his balls. And it was oneof the things and one of the reasons
that he was off on Saturday andLive because he would never stop. We've
played a lot of his stuff.A lot of that was on weekend Update,

(01:26:47):
and they kept telling you because heOJ had a friend in high places
and even after everything, and hekept saying, Man, this guy just
buzs my ball. It's all hedoes, is all he does. And
he's like I was, you know, that was crazy. O. J.
Simpson number one trending thing over onGoogle. The Masters trending as well.

(01:27:09):
Today's going to be interesting. TigerWoods has to play twenty seven holes,
so there was up a two anda half hour delay yesterday at the
Masters, and because of that,not everybody finished. In fact, I
would say more than half of themstill have a decent amount of holes to
play, Tiger being one of them. He's one under. But you're in
your forties, your back, yourknee walking, all that. Can he

(01:27:32):
do it today? I think,yeah, I think he's going to be
fine. Bryceon De'shambau National Pet Dayall trending. Chloe Kardashian. We talked
about the fact that the first timeyou heard the words Kardashian was during the
OJ trials. If you're in LA, maybe you know who the car,
maybe you knew who Robert Kardashian was. He was a lawyer, but that

(01:27:54):
was the first time you heard it. Chloe Kardashian is also being hammered on
the old interwebs in Google because peopleare saying, sorry about your dad dying,
because the rumor has always been thatOj Simpson was actually Chloe Kardashian's father,
not Robert Kardashian. All of thosethings trending over there on the magical

(01:28:15):
world of Google, and JK.Rowling is trending as well, and one
of the reasons is she says she'llnever forgive Daniel Ratcliff and Emma Watson for
their trans stance. In the wakeof a new report critical of the current
gender care standards for young people,the British author criticizes Harry Potter stars who
went against her views, celebs whocheer on transitioning of minors can save their

(01:28:36):
apologies. And we talked about thatyesterday, that the cast report that came
out about how the Brits did amassive study and the study says, yeah,
this is bad and this is wrong, and we were pushing kids and
people are terrified to speak up.And because of that, we have a

(01:28:59):
lot of kids who who were pushedinto things with zero scientific data to back
it up, and now we're seeingresults that are horrible. We need to
stop this. And JK. Rowlingingcourse came out and her thing wasn't so
much against again, and this iswhere I think everybody loses their minds,
because we make stuff about the thingsthat really aren't there. Hers was about

(01:29:21):
the fact that men claiming to bewomen, and it was about her standing
up for women in a world wherepeople were pushing things on her that weren't
true and trying to force her becauseremember, so much of this has zero
to do about trans or whatever itis you know, DEI in and that
stuff. It's about power. CanI get you to submit to something?

(01:29:45):
And one of those things was thefact that you know, Emma Watts and
Daniel Ratcliffe went against her and blastedher on numerous occasions. At one point,
one of Rowling's followers said they werewaiting for Harry Potter stars Daniel Ratcliffe
Emma wattson both who publicly broke withRolling on the issue of trans support,
to give a very public apology,safe in the knowledge that you will forgive

(01:30:09):
them. Rolling replied, not safe. I'm afraid celebs who cozied up to
the movement, intend on eroding women'shard won rights and use their platforms to
cheer on transitioning minors. Can savetheir apologies for traumatized detransitioners and vulnerable women
reliant on single sex spaces three two, three, five, four, twenty

Joe, The Chad Benson Show,Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, This

(01:31:05):
is Chad Benson and his book.OJ Simpson says that he would have taken
a bullet or stood in front ofa train for Nicole Man. I'm gonna
tell you that has some bad luckwhen the one guy who would have died
for you kills you. That's partof it, you know, I'm dann
worse luck than that Norm McDonald rightthere. I don't know if you're aware

(01:31:27):
of this. Not a fan ofOJ. We've been playing a lot of
that throughout the show today, somefunny Chappelle stuff, being able to try
to squeeze that in in a littlebit. It was a trial to century
and with no doubt about that,and now that you look back upon it
all these years later, I meanit's been thirty years, and I was
working in Los Angeles at the time, and one of the reasons I came

(01:31:49):
home to work in LA was becausethe World Cup was here. So I
wanted to make sure I was inAmerica for the World Cup. And I
went back and forth from about nineteeneighty seven till about nineteen ninety six,
living in England, back and forth, but I wanted to make sure I
was here, and I lived hereback in America for a little over a
year back then worked in radio andobviously wanted to be here for the World

(01:32:12):
Cup. That was my big thing. So I moved to Europe to play
soccer, and the whole nine yardsdidn't work out like wanto, My dream
was to play in the World Cupin America. But I remember we got
tickets so to go to the WorldCup because I was, you know,
my buddies and I were pretty wellconnected. You know, all of us
were at a high level professionally semiprofessionally playing soccer. At that time.
What was there was no mL lessor any of that stuff. There was

(01:32:34):
like eight different semi pro pro leagues. They were you know, fractured all
over the place. But I was, you know, still there and well,
buddy, Kenny, the best budin the world, goes, hey,
dude, you uh you want togo pick up our tickets for the
World Cup. Because I said,yea, yea, yeah, yeh,

(01:32:55):
I'll go pick up the tickets.Where is it? He gives it to
me the address, So I said, all right, cool, go pick
up our tickets, and so offI had right, and I remember,
it's no big deal. I'll justcruise over here and pick up these tickets.
It's not a big deal. Youknow, got a bunch of tickets
to the game. We're pretty excited. A bunch of young guys were all

(01:33:15):
going to the game. I've beenthe one drafted in the middle of the
day to go get it because I'mworking the morning show. I get to
the place, pick up my tickets, simple and easy, and the basketball
game's on and I'm like, what'sgoing on here? It's the Rockets and
the Bulls, I think. Andit's in the corner of the TV.

(01:33:42):
Because on the TV is a whiteBronco being followed by a million comp cars.
I thought, this is odd.Traffic wasn't that bad, so this
should be easy, though, Ithought, well, cool, I'll be
in and out, no problem,Eh, wrong, got on the freeway,

(01:34:06):
dead stop, people standing in thefreeway. I'm like, what the
hell is this? Is this thisthing? Because I just want to give
my tickets to go, I didn'treally care. I'm standing there on the
freeway. Here it comes, slowas can be, the Bronco with Al

(01:34:26):
Callen's driving it. Yeah. Iwas on the freeway for like three hours
while people celebrated and cheered, andI thought to myself, as you guys
know it started early in my life. If you're willing to mess up my
day with traffic, I hope theworst for you. And that was my
white Bronco chase. It just droveby me, slow as can be.

(01:34:49):
Is I'm just standing there with allthese people holding up signs, which was
fascinating. The whole thing was fascinating. O. J. Simpson of guilt
cancer, good riddance, we forget. He got thirty three years not for
the murder of Nicole and Ron,but for all kinds of stuff that had

(01:35:12):
to do with sports. Memory byI think it was was it Did they
get him with kidnapping and extortion inVegas? Crazy? Indeed? Three two,

Federal authorities charging the former interpreter forBaseball Superstar sho Heey Otani was stealing

(01:35:33):
more than sixteen million dollars to payoffgambling debts. Clearing the Los Angeles dodger
of any wrongdoing, Authorities say EpeMisuhara committed fraud on a massive scale,
acting as Otani's defecto manager, alleginghe helped Otani, who didn't speak English,
set up a US bank account wherehis multi million dollars salary was deposited.

(01:35:54):
The interpreter later impersonating Otani to stealfrom that account, which was crazy.
The amount of money he stole wascrazy. ESPN reporting a source with
direct knowledge of the investigation said Otani'sclaims that he didn't know about Msuhara's alleged
activities were accurate, and Otani claimshe's never gambled on any sports, which

(01:36:15):
is the big thing that baseball wantsto know clear him of any wrongdoing because
having the biggest best baseball player maybeof all time, putting putting aside,
you know, the Bay Bruce ofthe world and all this kind of stuff.
You know, it's a fifty yearanniversary, this year of Hank Aaron

(01:36:35):
hitting is massive home run for allthe talk of everybody else, the Babe
Bruce to Hank Aarons Williamson. Thisguy was it and still is. But
having to face the fact that ifhe had betted on baseball, that you
were maybe going to have to kickhim out of the league forever, and

(01:36:56):
then realizing you can't do that,so you have to come up with some
other excuse. Thank god, theyfound nothing. Bets do not appear to
have been made on the sport ofbaseball, which is one of the agents
there. They don't because they gotall of his text messages. By the
way, this guy is awful atbetting. He even said so in the
text messages. He was down fortymillion dollars to these people. Forty million.

(01:37:29):
We've obtained recordings of telephone calls,which means Ujara spoke with bank employees,
lied to them about being mister Tani, gave personal biographical information for mister
Tani in order to impersonate him crazy. He even went so far as to
get a hold of Otani's phone andall of his computers, and to make

(01:37:53):
sure that there was no alerts fromthe bank, like you know, if
you go spend money my popap.He he spent twelve dollars at Starbucks or
whatever, and to make sure thatthat from coming from this these transactions that
nothing would come to Otani, sohe would be clueless. Now we heard

(01:38:15):
four million. The evidence we've gatheredover the past few weeks has demonstrated that
in total, mister Mitsujara stole oversixteen million dollars from mister Otani's account in
order to pay for these illegal sportsbets. Yeah, forty million dollars he
owed, and total his average betwas twelve thousand, eight hundred dollars,

(01:38:36):
and as recently as January, solike two and a half three months ago,
he was still betting. And thenthat's when he got popped. But
he he admitted in the text messes, I'm not very good at this betting
thing, but you guys know,I'm good for the money. Forty million,

(01:38:58):
And that's not forty million the DraftKings. We're like, we'll see you
in court. That's forty million ofguys like you better hide cause we like
your knees forty million, you haveto think to yourself, did you never
win ever? Like, did younever ever ever win cause to get down

(01:39:25):
by forty million? Are you?I don't even I know you're chasing it
at that point, But when thereal story comes out at some point,
were you ever up a couple million? I it's just it's fascinating. But
the way he went about doing it, and to be forty million in debt,
we are the sixty million, like, oh my god, you're forty

(01:39:46):
million dollars in debt and you're stealingfrom who's supposed to be your best friend.

ever take away from you unless youkill your wife and a waiter, in

(01:41:39):
which case I'll be off. NormMcDonald just busted OJ's balls. I think
Norms in heaven's smiling today. OJ'spassed away, Chad, a person who's
passed away, you should feel sympathy. I don't think many of us do.
I don't think many of of usdo. I think I think a

(01:42:01):
lot of us look at it andthought there was an injustice done. That
being said, Norm never stopped evenwhen it eventually was a real issue and
was a part of a reason thatit cost him his gig as the weekend
update person on Saturday Live because henever stopped busting Chase balls and because of
that we had great comedy. Justletting you guys know that the entire you

(01:42:25):
know, it's funny the the theOJ thing was a black and white thing.
It's what it became, a blackand white thing, and it should
never And it's funny in two waysthat that it was a black and white
thing. Because somebody was murdered,two people, and we're talking a heinous
crime. I mean, they werealmost decapitated. It was it was a
different kind of black and white thingthat that separated us. White people looked

(01:42:47):
and thought, well, he killedsomebody that he should be guilty, and
he was famous, and it wasthe first real the celebrity trial, like
you cannot believe. But the otherside of it is is black people didn't
embrace OJ. This was as muchabout the LAPD as anything else. We've
talked about that. The corruption oneperson say the other day yesterday say,

(01:43:10):
hey, they may have framed aperson that actually did the crime. Astounding,
But the LAPD had all kinds ofissues and we just talked about it.
You know. What else is interestingis the fact that everybody thought that
the riots started becomes this and thisis you know, this is the race
wars, and that that came withthe It didn't even come with the beating
of Rodney King. It came withthe acquittal of the four officers. And

(01:43:31):
I remind you of that's that's whenthe riots started. Not that wasn't any
OJ riots Like people were, well, we're all met. No, it
was just it was a divisive entertainmentkind of situation. That's what the OJ
trial became. Surreal entertainment. Speakingof Civil War, it's out today the
movie. The White House issued warningsto the Western forces as well as the

(01:43:51):
Florida Alliance. The great term Presidentof sure A is the uprising. We'll
be tell them with swimmling citizens ofAmerica. They so called west enforces of
Texas and California have suffered a verygreat defeat. Here we are. There's
some kind of misunderstanding here. Well, you're America, okay? What kind

(01:44:12):
of America? Are one nation underGod, indivisible with liberty and justice for
God bless America? So is itred versus blue? No? You heard
California and Texas. Basically, Iguess tried to seceed and take on the
United States. And that's what thismovie is about. The directors out talking

(01:44:34):
about how, you know, howcould a country get to this position.
No country is immune from extremism andviolent collapse, absolutely no country. What
you do is you guard against itbecause you're not immune. You guard and
the God is your system of checksand balances. And if you erode that

(01:44:55):
system, if you attack or underminethe trust in the media and undermine the
institutions and their ability to create checksand balances, is there a danger of
violent extremist collapse? Absolutely yes.Do I think it's gonna happen here?
Because I think a lot of peoplethink it's gonna happen. It's not happening
here. It's it's not happening here. You can have factions of lunacy,

(01:45:18):
you can have little situations where peoplethink something it's just not it's not gonna
happen, but it is. It'san interesting idea, and the fact that
he kind of specifically leaves out thebattle is the secondary thing. The movie
is about journalism. That's kind ofwhat this movie's about. It's about journalism,

(01:45:41):
telling the truth, trying to getout there and see for your own
eyes. When I was starting tomake this, I said to someone,
I'm going to make journalists the heroes, and they said, don't do that.
Everybody hates journalists, and I thoughtthat's insane. That's like saying everybody
hates doctors. You cannot have asociety that is functioning properly and safely without

(01:46:01):
journalists. It's just not possible.He's right, and we do have journalists
that still exists. We think thatwhen we see the news, those are
journalists. They may have been atone time, they're not anymore. They're
partisan hacks. And some of avast majority of that can I just say,
is on us. It's the waywe consume, from algorithms to what

(01:46:23):
gets likes and clicks. This iswhat we do, this is what we
like. So they feed us more. That's it. They feed us more,
feed us more, feed us more. And so there are good journalists
out there, they're few and farbetween. And I will tell you this,
and this is very important for youguys understanding your local journalists, your

(01:46:44):
local affiliates, whatever they are,CBS, NBC, Fox, whatever it
is, they do good work.They're not in it for the clicks and
stuff. They're out there to dostories, MSNBC, CNN, Fox and
everybody else. They're in it forthe likes, the clicks, the entertainment,
because that's the bread and butter.Civil war out today, by the
way, speaking of civil war,would you like some stupid facts? And

(01:47:04):
then I go and spoil it allby saying something stupid. All take stupid
pills this morning. It's the honestones you want to watch out for,
because you can never predict they're gonnado something incredibly stupid. Now you're the
fact stupid one with the big mouthis stupid, little time. You should

(01:47:25):
never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.Now it's time for stupid information. Some
stupid informations. Have some fun withthis. The Battle of Sherbo off the
coast of France. There was aCivil War battle. No way, Yep.

(01:47:47):
Navy warship USSU care Sarge and theConfederate States Navy Warship Alabama battled off
the coast of France in eighteen sixtyfour. Isn't that crazy? No way?
Yeah? Yeah, they battled offthere. They're like probably like where

(01:48:08):
are we? Like, how whatdo we lost? Does anybody know where
we are? No way? Yeah, they battled off there. The war
could have been over for a week. Nobody would have known. There wasn't
any communication. Speaking of battles,I sit not twenty miles away from Pikacho
Peak. If you don't know whatthat is. Pikacho Peak also was Battle
of Pikacho Pass. It was thelargest Civil War battle in Arizona and the

(01:48:31):
westernmost battle with fatalities. It tookplace in April fifteenth, eighteen sixty two,
around Pikacho Peak. The battle wasfought between the Union Cavalry Patrol from
California and a party of Confederate picketsfrom Tucson and Finally, the longest running
civil war in the world is stillgoing. That is Burma, Myanmar.

(01:48:54):
It's been going for almost seventy years. The Brits bounced, gave him their
independence and they've been fighting ever since. There's over one hundred and thirty five
recognize ethnic groups in Burma. Thedifferences are vast, and apparently they don't
like each other. Little information todazzle your friends. You guys have a

(01:49:14):
