Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:21):
You Oh yeah, baby, I want to care about this
story with signal, but you know what, you this is

(00:41):
kind of hard to care about something that is not
a story.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
This is not about whether or not there was a breach.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
This is about protocol, and this is about going after
Trump and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
This is not about like national security was breached. We
had processes you didn't follow, blah blah blah blah. Is
that nobody?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Look, you're doing the right thing if you're a Democrat, right,
there's no doubt. But to act like that, this is
the greatest threat in the history of threats, and oh
my god, we would never do anything like that. It's
about for the Democrats. This is all about we finally
got something we can go after. Let's attack the hell

(01:21):
out of it and let's see what happens. That's what
this is about. So would you like to hear Ai
read some of the text. Let's do it.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
It's kind of funny.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Just confirmed with Sentcom we are a go for Mission
Launch twelve hundred and fifteen et F eighteen's launch First
Strike Package thirteen hundred and forty five trigger based F
eighteen first Strike Windows starts target. Terrorist is at his
known location, so should be on time. Strike drones launch
MQ nine's fourteen hundred ten more F eighteen's launch second

(01:53):
strike Package fourteen hundred and fifteen strike drones on target.
This is when the first bombs will definitely also first
sea based tomahawks launched. Godspeed to our warriors.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Wow, national security had completely breached. Everything there is falling apart.
Oh my god, it has.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Never been worse than this.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
See I you don't care. I don't, I don't. It
was a mistake. It was a clown show. They look
like idiots. All of those things are true. Go ahead
and investigate the hell out of it. It's I've got
no problems. If you want to investigate this thing all day,

(02:37):
and that's the goal, because you think you've got something great,
go ahead and do it. It was idiotic, there's no doubt.
It's embarrassing, absolutely, But to call this some sort of
ginormous breach of blah blah blah. We had a balloon
from China fly over our country and everybody saw it,

(02:59):
and we didn't do any thing until it had flowed
across our country, all of our bases, and then we
shot it down.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Over the Atlantic.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So before the Oh my god, this is the greatest
breach of all time. Lloyd Austin disappeared for ten days
and nobody knew where he was. Okay, we had thirteen
people died in Afghanistan. How many people got fired for that,
and we forget about Okay, this is bad. Let's not
forget this in Afghanistan. The person we thought we had

(03:30):
who was the mastermind of it was really a dude
who ran out to get milk for his family, and
we obliterated them.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
So slow your role.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
These are shockingly detailed descriptions of the bombs that are
about to fall in Yemen, and Jeffrey Goldberg is getting
these details many minutes before the bombs fall. If this
is not classified information, I would like the president to
tell us what would count as classified information.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
Now.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
The Atlantic is publishing.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
This on the Atlantic dot com because Trump and his
aides have said that none of this is classified. That
has been the main defense from the Trump White House.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well, first of all, it's already over, So I don't
know what else you want. We didn't move there. They're
not war plans. We didn't maneuver a whole bunch of
of groupings of ships and destroyers and soldiers into an area.
They're there already, we fired them off. And this is

(04:33):
after the fact. It's asinine, it's stupid, you look like
a fool. It's embarrassing. Don't get me wrong. I'm not
going to defend the incompetence. But this is not about
whether or not the objective was met, whether or not
they handled their business when it came to the objective,

(04:53):
which was to destroy this here, and they went and
did that. This is not about whether or not a
message which was sent to the houtis or any None
of this is all about Trump versus the Democrats. This
is what this is about. That's it.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Nothing else, no magic here.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
And if I'm the Democrats, hell yeah, I'm doing this
all day long. She got nothing else going on.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
But the headline here is that Defense Secretary Pete hag
Seth did send detailed descriptions of the military strike in
Yemen to this group ahead of time. Goldberg was able
to read these messages ahead of time. He looked at
it and didn't know if it was real or not.
But then he looked on social media and saw that
the bombs were beginning to fall in Yemen.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So what was gold We're gonna do? Is he going
to publish it in the Atlantic before it happened? And
then what Well, as you guys know, the Houties have
quite a extensive subscription to many things, and they would
have seen it, therefore being able to thwart it. Embarrassing.

(06:00):
That's what it is, simple and easy.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
Is it classify the information? Well, the Pentagon says it
was not.

Speaker 8 (06:06):
And not only did they say it was not, they
make very clear that it didn't put in danger anyone's
life or the mission intelligence.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
There was no intelligence information.

Speaker 8 (06:13):
And understand when this story first broke, they were sort
of alluding to whether the war maps or there was
no war plans on there. This was a sort of
description of what we could inform our counterparts around the
world when the time came to do so. Again, Look,
I think the White House is looking at this entire thing.
How did that journalist get on there? Why was this

(06:33):
the appropriate? I think there'll be reforms and changes made
so this never this was not going to happen again.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
It can absolutely true. Let's make sure this doesn't happen
again and we move on. What do people care about
the economy SOLI security. Remember, yes, were we talking about
SOL security. They're talking about closing some offices, doing certain
things there because there's seventy two million Americans that that
absolutely affects. And of course that's something to run around with.

(06:59):
And they said, well, hold on a second, Okay, we're
not going to make everybody come in.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
We've decided to change course.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
If you are coming in to get benefits as a survivor,
you've got to come in not every day or every
week or every month. It's one time. If you're going
on to Social Security as a first timer, you come
in once. So they're changing that. Yes, of course, it's

(07:28):
the one thing about Trump. He listens and you hear
people go and I'm like this, this and this, and
he's like, you know what, maybe we need to change this.
It's the eighty twenty thing. Eighty twenty eighty percent of
people think that wasn't a great idea. So you pivot.
Doesn't mean there's not going to be scaling down. Doesn't
mean there's not going to be a situation where you

(07:50):
try to fix some of the broken system. But he listened,
same thing with the phone situation. When it came to
we're gonna get rid of the phone system for social
security're gonna have to do it online. Everybody got a
little upset. Oh no, no, no, And what happens? Oh okay,
we're gonna pivot. Pivot, you do those things matter. The

(08:13):
economy matters. This is something that the Democrats are are doing,
this smart thing. By the way, they're doing the absolute
smart thing in the situation and position they're in by
grabbing this and going, we're gonna run with this. This
is super important to us. Let's make sure that we
know how bad and incompetent and blah blah, blah blah.

(08:37):
You have to do that. I got that. That is
what you need to do at this moment in time.
But as far as the everyday person, you and I,
most people don't know what signal is, and most people
don't care. And most people honestly couldn't even tell you
where the hooties are. And this is very important that

(08:58):
we even did this. Oh putting it out there, everybody
thinks that we're dropping bombs. Yep, we drop bombs. When
a while ago we did yep, where hooties? Where are
the Yemen? You could tell them they were in Finland.
They'd be like, really three two three five three three

Speaker 3 (10:36):
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's time for tariffs, and.

Speaker 9 (10:51):
What we're going to be doing is a twenty five
percent tariff on all cars that are not made in
the United States. If they're made in the United States.
Is absolutely This is very exciting to me. This is
the automobile industry and this will continue to spur growth
like you haven't seen. Before I was elected, we were
losing all of our plants that were being built in
Mexico and Canada and other places.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, so they're going to build them here. That's the goal, right,
Like the goal is to get them all to build
here now.

Speaker 9 (11:19):
Have great construction numbers initially, and then you're going to
have ultimately gonna have a lot of people making a
lot of cars.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Ultimately, that's the goal. It's going to happen, except for
the part where now that's not going to happen. I'm
telling you that because it takes forever to do this.
We're talking years, decades, billions of dollars, and there's no guarantee,
by the way, that even if automakers brought manufacturing here

(11:47):
that it's going to create tons of jobs with AI
and new robots and things of that nature, there's no
guarantee that that's going to happen. Now, these things, as
we all know, are subject to change because well, Donald Trump,
and as much as it sounds great too, let's protect this.
Let's protect that. The reality of what drives our country

(12:15):
is consuming. We export ideas and we import cheap goods.
We create, then we export it, they build it, we
import it cheap.

Speaker 10 (12:29):
Now, the Trump administration insists that their entire tariff strategy
is going to bring jobs and manufacturing back to the
United States. But an important point here is that it
takes years and billions of dollars to move your supply
chains to build a factor in the United States. So
this is going to be a painful process.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
And if you're an auto dealer, So you've got a dealership,
and I've talked to my friends who have dealerships and
they're like, this is not a good situation.

Speaker 11 (12:57):
Automakers. They're going to revisit their incentive byzation strategies. They're
going to depend on, Hey, do we need to put
APR deals out there or do we take those away
to take away some of the costs and maybe, you know,
shuffle around some dynamics of pricing because they don't want
customers really to have to bear the full twenty five
percent when it does come into effect.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
No, I don't think you do. That would be awful
and kill the dealerships trying to sell new vehicles and
you see used vehicles go through the roof again.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
So what do you do? Because here's the one thing
we forget.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
If nobody can afford a car, then the demand for
the car will go down. Therefore, you don't need to
bring in manufacturing if nobody's going to purchase the vehicles.

Speaker 10 (13:51):
This is going to hit those big auto manufacturers overseas.
Think about those big brands from Japan, Germany and South Korea.
But this could really throw a wrench into we're with
American auto manufacturers as well, because they are highly integrated
auto manufacturing supply chains between the US, Mexico, and Canada,
with car parts and cars crossing through the border multiple

(14:11):
times through the production process, which.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
We forget about. So what she's talking about is think
about this.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
You may not.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Manufacture the car, but you manufacture parts for the car.
Those things go over to Canada or somewhere else, then
they put the part or Mexico, then they assemble that there. Well,
if this is going to hit that what happens there?
And I love the idea of bringing jobs back here,

(14:45):
bringing manufacturing back. I look and I think to myself,
is that something that's really going to happen? And again
with AI, with the advancement of robots, I just I
look at this and I know it is an negotiation ploy,
but I just don't think it's it's it's going to
First of all, I don't think a lot of this
stuffs can end up actually going on. But we'll see,

(15:08):
you know, I mean, it's everything's subject to change. And
you know that. With Trump, I just find it. I'm
not a big fan of tariffs. I just think they
and I understand why you use them as leverage. Never
been a big fan of tariffs. If we consume it
and we don't make it, we should never tariff it.

(15:29):
But Chad, we don't sell our cars over there, Yeah,
we don't. I know. Look, I lived in England for
a long time. You guys know that there's all these
cars over there that I used to drive that we
never see. The Fords and all these things. You can
never see him over here. I just don't know where

(15:50):
we're going with these things. We'll find out three two, three, five,

The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 12 (17:39):
Son, Chad Benson Shoe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chad Benson Show, Mr.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
PBS Word Front of Congress, yesterday and we're going to
get to that in a second. But Secretary of Rowlands
Agriculture secretary who the other day cut a bunch of
crap out like for queer transgender farmers, and just again,
if you're a farmer, why can't just be a farmer?
So this was interesting because she's like, hey, check out

(18:25):
what we found behind door number one.

Speaker 13 (18:28):
You're not going to believe what we just found behind
a door at USDA. We found a whole box of
these seeds. And listen, we love seeds here at USDA, but.

Speaker 7 (18:38):
Check these out.

Speaker 13 (18:39):
These are specific tomato seeds that are for growing diversity, equity, inclusion,
and accessibility at us DA.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
I mean, look at these.

Speaker 13 (18:51):
If you can be anything, be inclusive at USDA.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I didn't know you could. You could grow those things.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Did you guys know that you could grow diversity by
planting a seed?

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yes, Chad seed to love America.

Speaker 13 (19:08):
This is what we're fighting here in Washington, DC. This
is why we are completely working to realign under President
Trump's vision our entire government, about returning power to the people,
about ensuring that we're putting Americans first, and that we
really are going to make America great again, and no
longer will we spend tax dollars on diversity equity inclusion

(19:30):
at us DA.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh that's because you hate people. No, it's because it's stupid.
You want to know, like how ridiculous people are. I
think we did this a couple weekgo. We played a
bit of this. But there are a bunch of loonies
out there who don't really understand like diversity, equity inclusion,
all this kind of They don't understand what's going on, right,
They just don't get it. They think they read something,

(19:54):
they get in the rabbit hole and they live there. Oh,
so you're getting rid of diversity equity inclusion. You hate
it and you don't care about that. That's because you're
going to probably try it now to do segregation. We
heard about it on the internet.

Speaker 7 (20:05):
Segregation is no longer illegal.

Speaker 14 (20:08):
Dude, When are people going to realize his idea of
making America great again is de evolving us?

Speaker 15 (20:14):
Well, it's official.

Speaker 11 (20:16):
Segregation is now back on the table for the American
government and we have Donald Trump to thank for it.

Speaker 16 (20:22):
Did you know Trump just legalized segregation again. Let me
repeat that federal contractors can now ban black folks from
bathrooms restaurants and jobs using your tax dollars.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
This isn't a history reboot.

Speaker 16 (20:37):
It's Project twenty twenty five's MAGA playbook deleting civil rights.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
No, no, it's not all based on an article you
saw saying that they were getting rid of something when
it came to federal contractors with the government, certain language
in there that they were getting rid of about saying

(21:05):
you have to essentially have no areas for whites and blacks.
So now we can have areas for whites and blacks. Now,
this is what's hilarious. So TikTok lawyer and I think
we played a bit of this a while ago, but
it just it's growing again, and it's this shows you
the insanity of which people are living at at this

(21:27):
moment in time where they don't even read the article.
By the way, she says she's a lawyer, she juxtaposes
her position within seconds. I want you know, to like
she goes from point A to point B, and then
just when you think, oh, she's really thinking she's going
to go somewhere, she then destroys point A and point B.

Speaker 17 (21:49):
It's time to speak up. They're rolling back segregation. They
are rolling back segregation. It is now no longer illegal
to require separate facilities for deep people of different races.
To be clear, the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty
four is still in place and has not been disbanded.
But we know what their goal is. There is always

(22:12):
step one in a process, and we absolutely know what
their goal is. They are rolling back segregation. What are
we going to do about it? What are we going
to do about it? Because this time, white people, we
are the ones that are going to be on the
front crossing that bridge. Do you hear me?

Speaker 18 (22:31):
We are the ones that are going to stand in
the streets. Our black countrymen have done their time at
the front of the lines, and it is our turn.
It is our turn to face the water hoses.

Speaker 17 (22:45):
And to face the dogs, and to face the tear
gas because we have let this happen, not on my watch,
not while there is breath and me will we go back?
Is anybody out there with me?

Speaker 19 (22:57):
Go love your neighbor.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
She's lost her mind? Just to be fair.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Civil rights acts still in place. Okay, so there's no discrimination, yeah,
But they rolled back the let They rolled back language
that didn't need to be there. Because the Civil Rights
Act is there now, so we don't need that. That
is well, that's where we are in today's world.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
Right.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Some people say, hey, you're getting rid of the gay
seeds or whatever, those inclusive seeds. Well that's because you
hate everybody. And look, you're already trying to roll back
the civil rights movement. Nutjobs. Speaking of nut jobs, yesterday
Congress clashed with NPR and PBS. It was interesting. There's

(23:49):
a lot of, you know, the kind of gotcha moments.
And look, some of the gotcha moments there weren't even
think it's not a gotcha moment. Here's the numbers. These
are the numbers that I'm looking at. These numbers say this.

Speaker 20 (24:03):
Is MPR biased, Congressman, I have never seen any instance
of never of political bias determining editorial decisions.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Now, wells mister Berliner.

Speaker 21 (24:16):
In his story A couple last year wrote, I've in
the DC area editorial positions at MPR.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
He said he found eighty.

Speaker 21 (24:26):
Seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Is that accurate?

Speaker 20 (24:31):
We do not track the numbers or the voter registration,
but I find that.

Speaker 21 (24:35):
As award winning journalists who worked twenty five years at MPR,
mister Berliner was he lying when he wrote that.

Speaker 20 (24:41):
I am not presuming such. I just don't have we
don't track that information about our journal. Eighty seven to zero,
and you're not biased. I think that is concerning. If
those numbers are accurate.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
They're pretty accurate. And mister Berliner, who they're talking about,
was a guy who worked there for a quarter of
a century. He won the Peabody, the Marconi's like this
super you know, decorated editor and reporter for NPR, and
he was the one who came out and said, look,
you guys have no idea what it's like here. And they,
you know, like he's left too, by the way, but

(25:14):
he said, it's it's this became a place of resistance.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
This became a place with a singular voice.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
And I said, PBS and NPR are different, even though
they get money from the government, and it's not a
ton of money in the overall scheme of things, if
you compared to their operating cost.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
But NPR is beyond to the left.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
When do you have eighty seven editors and out of
those eighty seven, eighty seven are Democrats and zero are conservative.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
It's hard not to think that there.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
May be some bias. Jim Jordan went on to say
the Hunter laptop thing, and Katherine Marrier, who is the
head of NPR now said that that was a mistake
and she wasn't there for that. And she also said that,
you know, they dropped the ball on a lot of things,

(26:15):
from COVID to Russia, Russia, Russia, as far as you know,
once it was found out to be that that wasn't true,
they just stopped reporting that. She said, yeah, we dropped
the ball a lot of things, especially the Hunter Biden thing,
which was a big deal. So they have issues and

(26:36):
she is an uber leftist and she you know, no
matter what you know, they try to say. It's hard
to say you're giving federal money to a one sided.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
News organization. That to me is not a good thing.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
You can't justify eighty seven to zero and say there's
no bias.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
If it was.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Eighty seven conservatives, I'd have a problem unless there was
eighty seven Democrats to balance it on the other side.

Speaker 14 (27:12):
Ms Marr generally agree or disagree with the following statement.
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history
of class struggles.

Speaker 15 (27:19):
I would not say I agree with that. You that's
good to hear.

Speaker 14 (27:22):
It's interesting because a lot of your thinking, as expressed
by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and
cultural Marxism. Do you believe that America is addicted to
white supremacy?

Speaker 20 (27:35):
I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,
I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the
last half decade.

Speaker 15 (27:41):
It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?

Speaker 20 (27:44):
I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't
be able to say, Okay.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
They tweeted it because that's what she believes. I mean,
and I have Look, you can believe those things and
be fair. I mean, you go to Walter Cronkite was
a raging liberal. Although today you'd probably just be a
modern Denberga, but he was a raging liberal back in
the day. You didn't know that he could have his

(28:11):
thoughts but report the news.

Speaker 14 (28:13):
Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and
white democracy?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I don't believe that, Sir.

Speaker 14 (28:19):
David Adam's reference to a book you were reading at
the time, apparently the Case for Reparations.

Speaker 20 (28:25):
I don't think I've ever read that book, sir.

Speaker 15 (28:27):
You tweeted about it.

Speaker 14 (28:28):
You said you took a day off to fully read
the case of reparations.

Speaker 15 (28:31):
You put that on Twitter in January of twenty twenty.

Speaker 20 (28:34):
I apologies, I don't recall that I did.

Speaker 14 (28:36):
Do you believe that white people and inherently feel superior
to other races?

Speaker 20 (28:40):
I do not.

Speaker 15 (28:41):
You don't.

Speaker 14 (28:41):
You tweeted something to that effect. You said, I grew
up feeling superior. How wide of me? Why did you
tweet that?

Speaker 20 (28:49):
I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
to grow up in an environment where I had lots
of advantages.

Speaker 15 (28:54):
Do you think that white people should pay reparations?

Speaker 20 (28:57):
I have never said that, sir.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
There was a lot of that, and then PBS got
hit with their drag queen stuff because they had a
drag queen story time, which was I did a video
about it last night, which was just again, why, okay,
there's the Muppets. Sounds great, you know, like, whatever the
hell that's Sesame Street or whatever's on there. Why do

(29:20):
we need a drag queen for anything? I mean, fine,
if you have a drag queen for a drag queen show,
but why does the drag queen need to have a
story time on PBS out of curiosity. I thought it
was about upstairs, downstairs, you trying to raise money and
send me a tote bag for my generous donation of
twenty five dollars a month, and we could watch some

(29:41):
antique show and you know, I mean, that's that's what
I That's a lot of what I thought it was,
and instead you got this.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
So get your singing voices ready.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
We're gonna start with our hips.

Speaker 22 (29:56):
The hips on the drag Quinto swish swish, swish, swish swish.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
From the shoulders on the drag.

Speaker 23 (30:05):
They go share me, Shamy Shammy, share a sham a
share share me Shamy Shammy.

Speaker 24 (30:11):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
Now the dragon goes blah blah blah all through the town.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's for the kids. Wait till Chad's PBS show arrives.
It's Toddler's and tatas ladies and gentlemen, Crystal and Sierra
teaching the kids to read today. Yeah, I think we
know where this is going to go. And then it's
going to go to the courts. And that's the way

(30:46):
that modern politics works nowadays. Three two, three five three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, as your Twitter,
your Instagram coming up. A lot of good stuff including
the Battle of snow White. But first, Birch Gold, Gold Baby.
Why do you need gold? Simple? It's protection. What if

(31:06):
scenario you don't buy a life raft when the ship
has sunk, it doesn't get to work that way. So
what happens is you've got to protect yourself before that.
And that's exactly what gold's all about, protecting yourself to
the downside and inflationary times, in times of worry, when

(31:28):
it comes to the dollar, tariffs, what's going on globally
with geopolitical stuff, and yes, what's happening here in the economy.
So I want you to text the word Benson to
ninety eight ninety eight, ninety eight Today talk to my
friends over at Birch Gold. They're going to get you
out an investor kit, show you why gold is important
and why everybody should diversify. The opportunity is incredible and

(31:50):
now is the time to strike. If you think I
missed it and I don't know about no, trust me,
this is the time to make that move. Text the
word Benson now to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight
for Birch Gold. Get that free investor kid, and I
buy my goal from them. They're amazing. You should do
the same. Text the word now Benson to ninety eight
ninety eight for Birch Gold. It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 25 (32:11):
Show, serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 26 (32:27):
And everyone who hates when I leave, the winged victory
came to the loop in pieces, and people still line
up to see her.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
And I can only hope that despite my flaws and
despite my cracks and my brakes, and there are many
of them that at every premiere and everything I do,
people will.

Speaker 27 (32:56):
Wait in line to see.

Speaker 18 (33:04):
That.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Right there is Rachel Ziegler, who is, of course snow White,
and knew snow White, and that was her, you know,
complaining about stuff last year, and you know how everybody
attacked her, and then that was her screaming when she's
at a theater getting ready to watch snow White with
nobody in it, because well nobody's gone and saw it,
and somebody went after the son of one of the

(33:28):
producers says, your dad flew to NYC to reprimand a
young actress any word on this, because that's creepy as
hell and uncalled for people of the right to free speech,
no question mark. Shame on your father, So Johann or
Jonah Platt said, you really want to do this? Yeah,

(33:48):
My dad, the producer of an enormous piece of Disney
IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line,
had to leave his family to fly across the country
to reprimand his twenty year old employee for dragging a
personal politics into the middle of promoting a movie for
which she signed a multi million dollar contract to get
paid and do publicity for This is called adult responsibility

(34:11):
and accountability, and her actions clearly hurt the film's box office.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Free speech does.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want in
your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people
worked on that film, and she hijacked the conversation for
her own immature desires at the risk of all the
colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who depend on
that movie to be successful. Narcissism is not something to

(34:38):
be coddled or encouraged. Here here free speech. She's got
all the right to have free speech. But if me
and the boys and gals here putting up hundreds of
millions dollars and our butt is writing on this, and
we believe in you enough to pay you a ton
of money, and you decide to bring stuff into it
that is going to hurt our investment into this, because

(35:03):
this is not a charity, then we need to have
a conversation. We need to have a conversation because it's
not about you. There are thousands of people that work
on movies like this and their livelihood depends on it.
So if we're putting up all this money, we're doing

(35:24):
all this, we should have a bit of a say
in the publicity of you going out there and doing
certain things that may harm this, because I don't want
to take away your free speech, but I don't want
to engage in something that is going to harm my film,
our earning potential and investment in this. Now that being said,

(35:46):
the movie's awful from what I've seen, and gaelka Dot,
while beautiful, not a great actress, throwing.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
It out there is a goodell or goadt.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm not quite sure.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
Whatever it is movie wise, it is not very good.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
And the fact that you didn't have dwarves still bizarre
three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter tweet at us text
the program.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Coming up second out.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
A lot of good stuff still to get to, including
brand awareness.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, that's that's what we're gonna call from now.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
It's a Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Brand awareness. That's great if you're a brand.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
We used to have people that were politicians back in
the day. The way that are you know, the Framers
of the country wanted, which is you go, you live
your life, you get a little bit of experience, and
then you decide, hey, you know what I think I
need to serve my country, and you go, you serve,
you do your stuff. When it comes to politics, it's

(37:19):
never meant to be a full time career job and
you leave. Then stuff started to change. His money started
to flow in. Something that wasn't supposed to be a
full time job became an all consuming job, and then
it became something where we had professional politicians. People who
went to school not to get a degree, get out

(37:42):
in the real world. They wanted to go straight from
there to the state capital or to the federal side
of stuff and work there early so they can be
a part of it professionals. But over the last say,
seven years, stuff has changed. We now have, as I

(38:03):
have coined the phrase pelebrities, people who are more interested
in the brand that they have built themselves up to
be than actual governing. Say things loud, build the niche
market up and go from there. And they're on both
sides of the aisle. Shall we take a listen, y'all.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Know we got governor high wheels down there.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Come on now, and the only.

Speaker 10 (38:29):
Thing hot about him is that he is a hot
ass mess honey. So to all those who came here
today unsure of whether this is where you belong, I
want to say that you do.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
What country are you?

Speaker 28 (38:41):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (38:41):
What country are you from?

Speaker 29 (38:42):
Okay, we don't give a crap about your opinion, and
you're reporting, Why don't you go back to your country?

Speaker 1 (38:48):
We have a major migrant.

Speaker 30 (38:49):
Problem, leaving the Oversight Committee array at a school Democrats
on their reading comprehension skills. What they do They mislead,
They lie to the American people. They're working against you,
They're not working for you. They're working against you all
because they hate Trump and Musk. They hate Donald Trump
and they hate Elon Musk, and therefore they hate you.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Do they really hate me, Nancy? And by the way,
can I just say I understand why you do it.
It's intoxicating. I have been around a lot of politicians.
It's part of my world that I live in. It's
easy to see why it's intoxicating. I was in a

(39:35):
senator's office last week. I won't say what senator is,
but I was in her office last week. So me
and a couple guys, other hosts, we went. We sat
down with a senator. She said, hey, we'd like to
have a conversation with you off the record, and we
said sure. So we all went over there. Go in there.

(40:00):
Three people meet you at the door, right, all dressed
in suits, all young kids, all in their early twenties.
They should be out run around party. And you know
they're dressed. We're in their dad suit, you know, and
their mom's Sunday best. You go in this room and
there's like eight people handing his stuff, doing stuff. See

(40:21):
how it's intoxicating. This person's talking about her brand. Everybody,
it's about the brand It's about the brand. It's about
the brand. And I realized this more than ever before
when I was doing my show at KTR, when I
was doing a solo show before Gatos and I did

(40:43):
our show, my afternoon show there with him, and I
remember this. When I was arguing with it wasn't even argument.
It was some sort of somebody told a politician something,
and by the time the telephone game ended, she thought
I said something about her that was disparaging. And it

(41:03):
wasn't like, hey, did you say this? It was I
have five hundred thousand followers and you don't, So what
do you think of that? I'm like, you represent like
thirty two thousand people. You're more concerned with the brand

(41:27):
of who you are than the actual governance and brand matters.
Trump has taught us anything that we're seeing in today's world,
branding is important even now in politics. Trump does it naturally,
But we've got these politi influencers, these pelebrities who are

(41:49):
going out there in every way, shape or form, and
it is more important when it comes to Instagram, Twitter, TikTok,
YouTube than ever before. I mean, my god, half of
these people now, from the Ted Cruises to you know

(42:10):
Matt Gates before he went out and now he's on
oan to the Jenzaki is in the world. All these people,
they all got deals. It used to be you go
there and if you're there for a while, maybe you
go over to K Street and you're a lobbyist and
you make a ton of money, et cetera. Now it's
not even that. Now it's like, I can't wait to
get my media deal. It's brand awareness, not governance. It's

(42:33):
brand awareness and how can I grow my brand? I
only represent one hundred thousand people, but boy, oh boy,
my influence is tremendous. That's what politics has become. So
when we all get frustrated when we hear people say
absurd things, that is partially on us because.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
We head to the chaos.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
We head to the crazy, and the more attention, the
more likes, the more shares they get, the more they're
gonna do it. Jasmine Crockett right now is getting a
ton of conversation about her, a ton of conversation, eyeballs, likes, clicks, comments, good, bad,
doesn't matter. As long as she's growing the brand and
the brand awareness of her name. That's what matters.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
AOC for all the things about AOC. I think AOC is.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
She is a brand unto herself, and she has done
it in such a way where she would have done
this if it was you know, she was, you know,
doing I don't know, health tips or makeup tips or whatever,
but she did with politics. She's a brand, and that's

(43:51):
what they all are. Now, it's about the brand. The
right protects their brand, but your brand in yourself. The
Left protects their brand, and they're branded themselves. And right
now branding is working better for the Republicans. But it's
not about ideas, and it's not about governance three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show, is
Your Twitter Tweet? At as texta program? I guess we'll

(44:14):
talk about it for like a second.

Speaker 23 (44:15):
The President calling the security breach a witch hunt, but
Democrats and even some Republicans are adamant that revealing highly
sensitive operational details could have put US pilots and other
service members in danger if the information had gotten into
the wrong hands.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yes, but it didn't, and it's a bad look, and
they rally around. They protect a brand, and now we
move on. I mean, I don't know what. I don't
know what there else is there to say. The Democrats
have to try to do something to change the narrative,
to push They're looking at the numbers. They've got no leader,

(44:52):
their brand is tarnished. They're struggling tremendously to get anything
across to the American people because the American people are going,
you know, I care about the economy, I care about immigration,
and yeah, maybe I don't like the way that Trump
is doing some of the things that he's doing, but
the reality is some of these things absolutely needed to
be done. He said he was going to do them,
so we're not surprised, but this you gotta do what

(45:15):
you do. You got to go after it because otherwise
you're failing the brand. If you will three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 29 (47:04):
A man in Texas driving his four wheeler straight into
a Tesla. He allegedly damaged several other Teslas before being
arrested Tuesday. He now faces several charges. A number of
Tesla drivers in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, say they were
harassed by a man in an suv last weekend. They
reported the incidents to police. All that follows dozens of
vandalism and arson incidents at Tesla dealerships. As at CEO

(47:27):
makes cuts to the federal workforce, FBI has launched a
new task force to investigate incidents targeting Teslas.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yeah, because that's what you do as an adult. He
was a bigger boy, that's what you're asking. He was
a large nutritional overachiever, and he is in a parking
lot and he just at the first couple times I
saw the video because it was out there, I thought, oh,
this is just somebody who's drunk in a parking lot

(47:56):
on like a riding mowerk.

Speaker 15 (47:58):
Kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
No, dude, smashing into tesla's, what are you thinking, like
in your mind, what are you thinking that somehow you
smashing into a tesla is going to do? What beside

(48:19):
the fact that you live in a small town. And
if you guys don't know this by now, because apparently
this guy has no idea about the internet, Tesla's have
a thing called I think it's called Centurion or whatever.
So when people are in and around your car, if
your car's been on, there's cameras always on. That's why
you see all these videos. It's not because people are
putting some special.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Spy cams up.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
So with that thing being on, you're seeing all of
these people get filmed. And apparently these people have never
heard of the Internet because they continue to do dumb
ass things. But my question is what is the endgame?
Who is the endgame? If I smash into this thing

(49:04):
enough times, it's going to change somebody's mind?

Speaker 31 (49:09):
Is that it?

Speaker 2 (49:13):
I have no idea. I'm still trying to figure it out.
I sit there and I think to myself, you're doing
something that is hurting a person who purchased a vehicle,
who's never met him, who has no zero zero.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
I'm talking about zero sway pull.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
With Elon and the federal government over the things that
you're mad about. And you can be mad about Oligarch said,
you want to call him or you know the authoritarians
or agains, zero problems do it. It's the beauty of
our country. Free speech. Knock yourself out. But it ends
when you decide to run your fat ass into somebody's car.

(50:03):
And again, I want to know what is the endgame,
Like you hit the car hard enough and then all
of a sudden, if I do this enough times, people
get their jobs back. He doesn't follow the rule of law.
He doesn't do this, he doesn't do that. They're just
firing people willy nilly. They're not paying attention. They're doing things.

(50:24):
They're doing things. And as we continue to talk about
it over and over again, the numbers say people aren't
angry about what he's doing, although Franklin said people are
happy that things are happening. Maybe don't like the way
that it's being done as far as they don't think

(50:47):
there's empathy and there should be more empathy. But they're
not mad. They're mad at a bit of the process,
but they're not mad at what they're trying to do.

Speaker 32 (50:58):
What the broader issue reveals is an administration that has
kind of contempt for the processes and institutions of the
liberal democratic state that the United States has built.

Speaker 19 (51:10):
You know, it's go into a department.

Speaker 32 (51:12):
If you're doge, don't bother to learn anything about the
process or the procedures. Fire everybody. You're at the NIAH,
just stop.

Speaker 15 (51:19):
All the grants.

Speaker 32 (51:20):
Go into the courts, and the courts ask you for
documentation for reasons why you're deporting people, and they just
don't provide them. They effectively define court orders, and the
courts and the judges are saying, look, you're not following
the normal procedures.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
We do procedures.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Ezra Cline Derek Thompson talk about it in the new book.
Democrats in particular are obsessed with process, not outcome. They
want process, process, process. Well, he's not following the process.
They're not following the process. They're not doing the things
they're supposed to be doing. No, they're doing something with

(51:59):
an outcome. And then the courts get involved. They pause
what they're doing, waiting to find out what the courts
are going to say. You're obsessed with a process. What's
the process? What's the process? Well, the process is this
isn't working. We're going to try something new. Now I've
got to go to the process.

Speaker 32 (52:17):
This is really, to my mind, the most vivid example
of this complete disrespect for the institutions, the norms, the
procedures by which the American state, the American democracy has
been functioning.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Because there you know, a.

Speaker 32 (52:30):
Lot of these people have contempt for all of this.
This is at the end of the days of them.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
The deep state, the process, bureaucracy.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
I've said for a very long time, the thing that
is truly the deep state is bureaucracy. And everybody's upset
about the process. You're not doing it correctly. You didn't
sign the right piece of paper, you didn't talk to
everybody in the way that you should have. You didn't

(52:58):
do the things that you were spoke to do that
we've done in the past. Process. Process, process, not outcome,
but process that matters three two, three, five, three, eight,

Several of you have text in and said, Chad, I
can't believe you don't think this is serious these were
war planned leaks. They weren't war planned leaks. It's not
that it's not serious. Is it nefarious? That's that's it.
Is it nefarious? Did they add somebody who was on there,

(55:11):
according to them, a mistake? Did it change the mission
which was blow these people up? Did anything happen that
put us as Americans in jeopardy? It doesn't mean it

(55:34):
wasn't stupid. I've been saying it was a clown show.
It's the best way to describe it. A clown show.
You guys jack the pooch. But if you're the Democrats,
you got to come out and push, push, put you

Speaker 2 (56:16):
But did it No, Okay, so now what it didn't.
So the question is where do you go? From here, Well,
we need to do an investigation. Absolutely, I've been saying investigate, investigate, investigate,
And if something nefarious did happen, if somebody did this
on purpose in hoping that Jeffrey Goldberg was going to

(56:36):
release the information and make sure that our enemies had
all that information, that absolutely you should do an investigation
that people were working on the inside to expose our
massive battle with the hooties. It was an error, it

(56:58):
is an embarrassment, It is clown show. But does it
warrant the world is coming to an end scenario that
some people would like to say it is now.

Speaker 5 (57:10):
These are shockingly detailed descriptions of the bombs that are
about to fall in Yemen, and Jeffrey Goldberg is getting
these details many minutes before the bomb's fall. If this
is not classified information, I would like the president to
tell us what would count as classified information. Now The
Atlantic is publishing this on the Atlantic dot com because

(57:33):
Trump and his aides have said that none of this
is classified. That has been the main defense from the
Trump White House.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Okay, so it's not classified, it's after the fact we
bomb them, we didn't move troops. Intelligence is moment by
moment that's when you need it instantaneous. We weren't moving
troops into position. We weren't going, hey, we're gonna move
satellites over here, we're gonna have ships move over here.

(58:02):
We weren't putting people into the region. It was they
were there. So it was, hey, flick a switch, let's
go get on this, get in, get out, get out
of there quick.

Speaker 31 (58:15):
That was it.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
But the headline here is that Defense Secretary Pete hag
Seth did send detailed descriptions of the military strike in
Yemen to this group ahead of time. Goldberg was able
to read these messages ahead of time. He looked at
it and didn't know if it was real or not.
But then he looked on social media and saw that
the bombs were beginning to fall in Yemen.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
And they did fall. You guys want to hear some
of those AI is reading it out to you.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
Just confirmed with Sentcom we are a go for mission
launch twelve hundred and fifteen et F eighteen's launch First
Strike Package thirteen hundred and forty five trigger based F
eighteen first Strike windows starts target terrorist is at his
known location, so should be on time. Strike drones launch
MQ nine's or ten more F eighteen's launch second strike

(59:03):
package fourteen and fifteen strike drones on target. This is
when the first bombs will definitely drop. Also, first sea
based Tomahawks launched. Godspeed to our warriors.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
And that was that an embarrassment, Yes, a clown show.
Absolutely end of the world, and that this is the
greatest breach in the history of mankind. And no other
organization in any other you know, no other Democrat or whatever.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
It just settled down, my god.

Speaker 24 (59:36):
Intelligence is the lifeblood of our national security. It allows
us to carry out successful operations, whether it be military, diplomatic,
or intelligence operations. But it also is the intelligence that
keeps our sources and methods secure, and it protects lives
and saves lives. And if that intelligence is compromised because
of the inexperienced or cavalier attitude of individual it put

(01:00:00):
so much at risk. It puts us lives at risk,
It puts our national security around the globe at risks
because and get intelligence is what feeds and fuels are
national security apparatus. And it's clear that the individuals at
the very top echelon of our national security infrastructure were
not doing what they needed to do. And again, I
think there were serious questions that were raised appropriately during

(01:00:21):
the whole nomination and confirmation process. But unfortunately, I think
we are now seeing the results of this inexperience and
the lack of credentials of people, and whatever credibility they
might have had, I think they're quickly destroying it, particularly
when they've been disparaging and denigrating Jeffrey Goldberg, who is
respected journalists, and he was trying to do the appropriate thing,
which is to expose this big problem.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Big problem that coming from John Brennan, former CIA director
and is one person called them the torture enthusiasts and
serial liar. It shouldn't be about you can't defend incompetence,

(01:01:06):
and that's what this was.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
It was stupid, it was haphazard.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Get move on, and unfortunately everybody's got to play Well,
look what they did, and look what they did here,
you guys, jack the pooch you did, you screwed up.
You take a responsibility for it and make sure it
doesn't happen again. It's that simple, and let everybody know

(01:01:31):
if this happens again, heads a good roll. There's not
a lot else You're gonna do you want to fire? Okay,
go fire a bunch of people. Now what does that
a curiosity?

Speaker 11 (01:01:43):
Know?

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Because this is not about whether or not there was
a breach and whether or not our enemies saw this
and whether or not. By the way, signal has been
used for a while, even under the Yes Biden administration,
and many people say it is the gold standard when
it comes to encryptive, encrypting messages and whatnot. So fire people,

(01:02:06):
then then what? Okay, so you fire people? Does that
make everybody happy? Does that fix the situation?

Speaker 28 (01:02:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Hell, I'm the Democrats. I don't want a Boddy fired.
I want everybody investigated. How long can I keep this going?
Sure the mission was a success, but still, how about this?
They'll fire as many people as they did when thirteen
of our soldiers died in Afghanistan on the pullout. I'll

(01:02:39):
wait for your comment off the line three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chadbenton Show. Is your Twitter?

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Tweet at us text the program. Love hearing from all
of you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Meanwhile, we got some arrest guys. That's right, the evil,
the bad, the MS thirteen. They're taking people down.

Speaker 27 (01:02:58):
So first, mini had been identif they've been living here.
Many had been identified living here. They were let freely
into our country, all of these illegal aliens. I had
gone to that border in September. Nothing humane was happening
at that border. Passports stacked everywhere, everywhere from every country.
You can imagine people freely walking across our borders, fighting

(01:03:21):
age men coming into our country. And this is the
result of Joe Biden's open border policy, what our country
has been plugged with. But from the second Donald Trump
took office, he said he is going to make America safe.
He's shut down our borders and now it's our job
to get these people out of our country as fast

(01:03:42):
as we can. And this coordinated group effort, this task
force that has been put together is making a difference
here and it will make a difference around the country.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
That's why you're.

Speaker 27 (01:03:52):
Seeing so many arrests so fast, because we will not
have another Lake and Riley. We are going to catch them,
we are going to aff for him them, and they
are not going to like where they are going.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
Which could be El Salvador probably. So they're talking about
MS thirteen. They caught apparently a shot caller, a big
wig from MS thirteen in Virginia. Now, depending on what
takes place with I don't know courts, they'll be on

(01:04:24):
their way to Seacott, which is in El Salvador. And
by the way, MS thirteen is El Salvador, so they'll
be on their way to L Salvador, which is where
former governor of South Dakota and current Homeland Secretary Christy
nom was yesterday doing a video in front of a

(01:04:47):
large cage of men in their boxers. And I don't
know if you guys know anything about Christy besides dog killing.
She's easy on the eyes.

Speaker 33 (01:04:56):
I heard Seacott today and visiting this facility, And first
of all, I want to thank El Salvador and their
president for their partnership with the United States of America
to bring our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and
have consequences for the violence that they have perpetuated.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
In our communities.

Speaker 33 (01:05:11):
I also want everybody to know if you come to
our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you
could face. First of all, do not come to our
country illegally. You will be removed and you will be prosecuted.
But know that this facility is one of the tools
in our toolkit that we will use if you commit
crimes against the American people.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Ooh, I like them when they say tools and the toolkit.
So good.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Good to say, glad that that's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Let's get all the bad ones out of here so
we can figure out what the hell we're going to
do with everybody else. It's all happening, kids three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show is
your Twitter tweet at US texta program update NYC CEO
shooter Luigi Mangioni.

Speaker 22 (01:05:55):
Prosecutors accused Luigimi and Gioni's lawyers of fanning the flames
of public attention after notes of support were found hidden
in the accused killer's clothing. Mangioni, who is charged with
killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was allowed to change
from his jail issued clothes before court last month. In
the socks provided by his lawyers, prosecutors say two heart

(01:06:18):
shape notes were found.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Two heart shaped notes. What Yeah, A lot of people
out there not only think he's a hero, but find
him attractive.

Speaker 29 (01:06:29):
In the socks provided by his lawyers, prosecutors say two
heart shaped notes were found, one addressed to Joan, a
possible reference to a spokesperson for his legal team, the
other addressed to Mangione, reading in part, know there are
thousands of people wishing you luck.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
Insane, Do that with any other murderers.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
It's not it's who you murder now that matters.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
Oh? Is that it?

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Yeah, that's it. It's it's not how you murder, it's
who you murder.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
My wife watched this thing last night with Gabby Patito
and that that whole thing, and how awful she felt.
And she goes, God, that could be you know, any
any any woman out there kind of thing. And he
was just nuts and crazy, and his family was awful,
and that there's nobody going mall that guy was dreaming.
We should just we wish him the best. I committed suicide,
but man, we do wish him the best. It's insane,

(01:07:28):
you people. It's class warfare. It's what they're pushing for.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Unfortunately for them, the same people that want class warfare
love their iPhones and the sneakers and they're you know, lattes.
So it's kind of hard to have class warfare when
you enjoy being in the upper class. You just like
the bitch about all the other stuff that other people
have that you also have. Oh three two, three, five,

Please go like and subscribe.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
We go live every single night and right around eight
o'clock Eastern, so we'd love to see you there and
commenting as well. It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
Irreverence, Like, yeah, so what it's the chat that's a show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
I'm going to tell you this. There are two times
you go on the submarine. You are working with and
or serving the United States Navy. They have a nuclear
sub and you want to go on fantastic, go ahead
and do it. Or you're at Disneyland and they have

(01:10:25):
that ride we get on the face up, go ahead
and do it. Let me tell you when not to
do it, when it's any other time ever, there's been
an accident in Egypt. People are dead and you're thinking
to yourself, has nobody learned now this is not go

(01:10:46):
down to the bottom of the floor using some guys
Atari joystick.

Speaker 34 (01:10:52):
But still most of those on board are understood to
have been rescued. Now many of them are being treated
in local hospitals. Some of them have been able to
go back to hotels. But this is not the first
incident in the Red Sea. There was a serious accident
that happened in November last year. There were some fatalities
involving tourists and that prompted the UK authorities to issue
a warning about dive boats in this area.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Dive boats, they call it.

Speaker 35 (01:11:14):
This is the third incident involving a tourist vessel, whether
it's a yacht, whether it's a submarine in the area
of Worgata since November of last year. So Egyptian tourism
officials really have a crisis on their hands when it
comes to the safety of those companies operating those tourist
boats in the waters of the Red Sea.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Just don't do it. Somebody says, hey, I've got a
great idea. Let's go on a sub that somebody's built.
Now i'll pass. I'll go on a glass bottom boat.
I'm not quite sure I want to get a sub
with you no offense. I'm sure it's fantastic, but that's
a hard pass. Three two, three, five, eight, twenty four

(01:11:59):
to twenty three. At Benson's show, it is your Twitter,
your Instagram, a lot of you texting in about the
fact that you don't think I'm taking the breach of
security seriously when it comes to the signal gate. It's
not that I don't take it serious. It's just that

(01:12:23):
the security they're talking about makes it seem that they
penetrated into the Pentagon and they gathered all these war things.
This was a guy that was added to a text chain. Well,
doesn't that show you how stupid they could be? Yes
in competence clown show in this instance and do an investigation.

(01:12:48):
But at the same time, people are making this thing
out to be like this is it. They've cracked the
code in America's secrets have been pushed out there and
we shall never recover from this. And I think that's
a bit much. If you're missing the show, grab the pod.
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
Baseball is back, Dear.

Speaker 28 (01:13:35):
One hope, Spring Eternal for thirty major league teams, twenty
eight of them in action today. Two of them already
played in Japan, the Dodgers and the Cubs. The Dodgers
picking up right where they left off, Sho Heyo Tani
and all those other superstars winning the first two games
of the season back in Japan, and now they're back
here in the US.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Great fantastic Baseball's back. Everybody's stream right. You're there. You
got through spring training. This is it. Dogs are being cooked.
You can smell it around the stadium. People excited. The
stadium is going to be packed up. You're O and
O zero win, zero losses. You've not lost a game yet.

(01:14:20):
The chance to go to the World Series is in
front of you. This could be it. And then you
lose and you're like, hey, it's always next year.

Speaker 28 (01:14:28):
The New York Mets have five new mascots representing each
of the New York City boroughs. They're going to race
at some point during every game, and we always love
the food. The Blue Jays are debuting some cotton candy fries.
We're trying pretty intrigued about. And then here at Yankee
Stadium they're doing Tiramie Sue in a helmet.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
There you go, eat, drink, be merry, watch bes Ball.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Opening Day is today? So much more entertaining to talk about.
Then all the other stuff that's going on in the
world's and craziness and oh my gods, well, Chad, it's
this stuff isn't good.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
It's not good. It's not, but it's not awful. The
world's not coming to an end, but there was all
the war plans that's going I keep here, like some
of you are texting it. Chad, this is an absolute
disc it's settled down with it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
It's a disgrace. It's joke in the way that they've acted.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
And I'm not talking funny funny, hah, I'm talking about
this is a joke, guys. Right, you guys, are this stupid.
It's a mistake, it's a clown show. It is not
a breach of the highest security, and everybody will pay
the ultimate price.

Speaker 8 (01:15:40):
The simple truth of the matter is, on March eleventh,
Mike Walt sent me a message request on signal and
I accepted it.

Speaker 7 (01:15:46):
That's the entire story.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Okay, Jeffrey Coldburg, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
So that was it?

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
No more, no less? Yeah, that's it. You mean you
didn't did you sell everything to the Chinese?

Speaker 28 (01:16:01):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Did the Chinese get ahold of this stuff?

Speaker 18 (01:16:04):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
Did people.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
Who are soldiers on the ground, were they at risk
and were they attacked it? No?

Speaker 19 (01:16:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
So what is it? It's a breach. No, it's not
a breach. It is stupidity. That's what this is. Jeffy
Goldberg didn't do anything, did the right thing, but settled
down with this is the worst thing in history. But
if you're the Democrats, man, I get it. You got
nothing going on. You're searching for an identity. And here's
the thing. And I was looking reading this the other

(01:16:41):
day and they're talking about Trump, and they're talking about
the fight against Trump, and they're talking about all of
the things right, taking it to the Republicans doing this,
And you know when I never heard the American people
on an identity make it about somebody that's not you.

(01:17:05):
You want to be successful in life, we'll just take
it from the private sector. Find people who've got issues
and problems, and figure out how you can be a
solution to that. Both sides have decided their best way
to get elected is to scare the hell out of people,

(01:17:26):
make issues way bigger than they should be in certain circumstances,
and downplay stuff that matters to us. You want to
be successful, Well, guess what, it's not hard. The playbook's there,
it's right in front of you, and it looks like this, Hey, America,

(01:17:47):
what can I do for you? How can I serve you?
You put me in this position, you entrusted me in
this position. How can I go about serving you? And
then you do that? Yes, you need to investigate this absolutely,
But what about all those those things, Chad. They've had

(01:18:09):
war plans, We have.

Speaker 36 (01:18:10):
Said all along, no war plans were discussed, no classified
material was sent. You have the Secretary of Defense saying that,
you have the director of the CIA, the director of
National Intelligence, the FBI director all testifying to that under
oath and they should be trusted with that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
They can't be trusted with that. Marco Rubio, what do
you say, little Marco?

Speaker 7 (01:18:28):
Is it classified? The information? Well, the Pentagon says it
was not.

Speaker 8 (01:18:32):
And not only did they say it was not, they
make very clear that it didn't put in danger anyone's
life or the mission the intelligence.

Speaker 7 (01:18:38):
There was no intelligence information.

Speaker 8 (01:18:39):
And understand when this story first broke, they were sort
of alluding to whether the war maps or this is
there was no war plans on there.

Speaker 7 (01:18:45):
This was a sort of description of what we.

Speaker 8 (01:18:49):
Could inform our our counterparts around the world when the
time came to do so.

Speaker 7 (01:18:55):
Again.

Speaker 8 (01:18:55):
Look, I think the White House is looking at this
entire thing. How did that journalist get on there? Why
is this the appropriate? I think there'll be reforms and
changes made so this never was not going to happen again.

Speaker 19 (01:19:04):
It can.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
That is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
I don't know what else you say from there, but
some of you, and look, Republicans, you should be asking
this question too. You get ahead of it, but you
also say I want to hold these people accountable. Was
this a was this a pattern that's gone on numerous times?
If tomorrow we find out, oh my god, we've added
a whole bunch of people that shouldn't have been on

(01:19:27):
stuff to things. Then there's a serious conversation to be
at and people keep and I got a bunch of
tweets and text yes or excuse me, a bunch of axes.

Speaker 19 (01:19:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Some guy hit me up said, say it's X. It's
not Twitter, it's X. Say it's X. Say it's x xx.
And I'm like, is are you getting paid by them?
Do you still call it a tweet? Because in theory
it's an X. But back to what I was saying,
A bunch of people send me messages and they said,
why were they even on this. It's supposed to be
the Gold standards, super encrypted and all that kind of stuff,

(01:19:59):
and the previous administration used it. You heard Radcliffe, the
CIA director said it was downloaded straight onto my computer
and you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
Know, so, okay. I do have some questions though.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
About is there nothing more secure like an intra net?
So think of it as a private network that only
works in a place like the Pentagon and maybe your
congressional offices.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Inside the White House.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
Just just something that if you're not in a specific area,
you can't get that message, and there's only fifteen or
twenty people that have access to that phone. In those messages,
you think in this situation like this, you'd have something
like that, but a.

Speaker 3 (01:20:54):
Last they didn't, and now they've got egg on their face.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
And then we move on three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chadbenton Show, is your
Twitter tweet at US texta program?

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Meanwhile, Tariff City USA Canada.

Speaker 10 (01:21:09):
Yeah, Now, the Trump administration insists that their entire tariff
strategy is going to bring jobs and manufacturing back to
the United States. But an important point here is that
it takes years and billions of dollars to move your
supply chains to build a factor in the United States.
So it's just going to be a painful process.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
Not only a painful process.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):
I want to point out this too, there's no guarantee
with these new twenty five percent tariffs that even if
we brought manufacturing back here in a major way, that
those jobs would go to humans. There's no guarantee about
that until we figure out how we want to consume
in a different way, which drives our economy. Seventy percent

(01:21:52):
of our economy essentially is consumer base. Until we figure
that out, you can say you're bringing back manufacturing and
say do all this. We're still a price based consumer group,
and we will look for something cheaper and more affordable.
And if you make it too unaffordable in hopes to
bringing jobs back, people will just stop buying that product altogether.

(01:22:15):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Betson show, is your Twitter tweet? At is
texted program coming up? Little watch trending. But first Lean
you want to get fit, of course you do. You're
sick and tired of the yo yo dying. Of course
you are. Lean is going to help you get there.
What is lean formulated by doctors. It's natural, no prescriptions,

(01:22:35):
no injections, a couple bills a day in a way

Straight ahead Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending?

Speaker 37 (01:23:52):
I'm signed James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sera.

Speaker 30 (01:24:12):
What truping?

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Let's find out what's treading on the old interwebs on
this most o frestive of Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
Spring is in the air.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
A number training things today is Major League Baseball has
been very very good to me. Baseball starts in earnest
today so the Dyers have already, oddly enough played baseball.
This is a weird thing. So the Dodgers are two

(01:24:46):
and zero. This is what's weird about baseball. But they
played the Angels yesterday in the spring training game, because
remember they started in Tokyo. But baseball based ball kicks
off in Earnest today with a slew of games, so
be prepared for that. Over in Yahoo, Cam Smith, it's

(01:25:12):
pretty awesome. If he didn't see it, I'm gonna probably
play a little bit later. It was he is a
Houston astro and he was named to the opening day roster,
and the way they did it was pretty incredible. Marjory
Taylor Green, Megan Markle Renoir Lady Buddy painting for twelve dollars.

(01:25:32):
They think it could be a Renoa head. Over to Google,
Avengers Doomsday cast is announced. Elon Musk. I don't know
if you're aware of it. He's pretty much everywhere all

(01:25:52):
the time. Johann Platt or Jonah Platt, depending on where
you're looking. How you say it is trending, and we're
going to get up to why he's trending. Let's just
say his father was one of the producers of the
remake of Snow White, and he puts something out that

(01:26:13):
a lot of people are angry at. But people were
continuing to push on this because it is such a disaster,
and it is it seems like it's getting worse if
that is possible Auto tariffs Arc of the Covenant? Do
we have the arc of the Covenant? CIA confirmed ark
of the Covenant's existence according to remote viewers. And finally

(01:26:38):
over to Twitter, Signal Goldberg, Opening Day a Ventures.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
Doomsday, Waltz, Jazzmine Crockett, Hot Weels, Hot Weez.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Hillary, Alex Wong, and Secret Wars. All things trending in
the mighty and magical world of the Interworms. It's very
interesting when the whole thing about the Disney insanity, so

(01:27:16):
obviously this whole remake of Snow White is it's a disaster.
I mean, that's being kind to it. So what's happened
is one of the kids of the producer was asked

(01:27:39):
about something because somebody said, your dad flew out to
NYC to reprimand a young actress. Any words on this,
because that's creepy as hell and uncalled for. People have
the right to free speech, no question mark. Shame on
your father, So mister Platt replied, you really want to
do this? Yeah, My dad, the producer sort of an

(01:28:00):
enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of
dollars on the line, had to leave his family to
fly across the country to reprimand his twenty year old
employee for dragging her personal politics in the middle of
promoting this movie, for which she signed a multi million
dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for. This
is called adult responsibility and accountability, and her actions clearly

(01:28:24):
hurt the film's box office. Free speech does not mean
you're allowed to say whatever you want in your private
employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on
that film, and she hijacked the conversation for her own
immature desires at the risk of all colleagues and crews
and blue collar workers who depend on that movie to

(01:28:46):
be successful. Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.
He's not wrong, Let's be real, you know. It goes
back to this whole freezeon. She's got every right, yes
she does. But if I'm putting up hundreds of millions
of dollars on something I don't want to impede your

(01:29:07):
free speech.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
Go for it. Fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
That being said, it's my money, and we should have
a conversation about some of these things because if your
desire is to benefit yourself to get out there to
say all these kind of things because these are the
right things to do, great, I may even agree with you,
but I also have thousands on thousands of people who

(01:29:31):
are counting on this thing to be a success. And
your feelings, which I don't want to take away from you,
are great. If you want to go out there and
you want to say and do those things, do it.
I'm just going to find somebody else because again, my
money people counting on me. So it's not taking away

(01:29:55):
anybody's free speech, or it's not saying you shouldn't have
free speech, but let's at least have a conversation. You're
gonna damage the goods because you feel you need to
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter, tweet at us
text the program. Love hearing from every single one of you.
Coming up, Buddy, Jim Kennedy is going to join the program.

(01:30:18):
Why you ask, because we have a lot of stuff
talking about it, politics and pop culture, and as we've
been talking about throughout the day, brand awareness.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
Not for a brand.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
Like Coca Cola or something like that, no, but for politicians.
Oh yeah, they love their brands. If you miss any
of the show, make sure you grabbed the podcast. We
do love hearing from each and every one of you
as well. Check out our Facebook and YouTube. It really
helps out the program.

Speaker 31 (01:30:44):
This is the checks Son Chad.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
We look talking to Scott Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of
Public Policy Research. We had a spirited and at times
an adult language pre conversation talking about stuff that we
won't be talking about now, but we are going to
talk about a lot of stuff tonight. And Jim Kennedy,
Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. You like the word pelebrity, Jimmy,
you text me that today, Like I love that word pelebrity.

(01:31:42):
I love it too, because that's what we have now
in politics. We have people on both sides of the
aisle who are more concerned about how many followers they
have and how they can serve them, not how they
can serve their constituents.

Speaker 38 (01:31:56):
You're absolutely right, and I think that's the reason I
love it. Just sums it up perfectly. It is the
perfect word to describe, unfortunately, where we've gone in politics,
and especially in Congress, with everybody wanting their clicks and
likes through it. I mean, AOC might have been, as
we were talking about earlier, might be the first one
we would think of as basically attaining that title.

Speaker 19 (01:32:16):
But I don't think it's good for America.

Speaker 38 (01:32:18):
I mean, I think it's detrimental because you know, the
founders envisioned citizen legislators. They envisioned people that were farmers
and doctors and dentists and business people, not professional politicians
coming into Congress. I don't think they had really envisioned
a full time congress either, But that's all different problem
and what you're getting now with these people. But they're

(01:32:38):
not there because they want to serve America. They want
to basically this is their job. They want to see
how much they can raise their social status by being
in government, by being in Congress, by getting that time.

Speaker 19 (01:32:49):
I remember they used to be a guy Naman.

Speaker 38 (01:32:51):
You probably remember Bob Dornan be one Bob who used
to do when they first put se Span on. He
used to be a guy that often would close the
c span out with these mobs.

Speaker 19 (01:33:00):
He would do but.

Speaker 38 (01:33:01):
There's no social media back in whether it was nineteen
eighty six or eighty eight or ninety whenever it was,
and he would just do it because he would get
attention and it became, you know, a minor celebrity in
the political circles for it because of his efforts. But
now these people are really doing it with social media
for clicks and likes and TikTok views and stuff like
that where they can monetize it. It can actually make you know,

(01:33:22):
you can make lots of money off of this. And
I don't think they're doing it because they're wanting to
be better Congress people. I think they're doing it because
they're trying to raise their profile in life. And I
don't know what that says about us.

Speaker 19 (01:33:33):
As a country.

Speaker 38 (01:33:34):
I don't think it's a good thing, and it's just
to me, it's frustrating and it's something that I don't
really know how we address it and or get people
to go back to being Look, we want the smartest
people who can have in Congress to make the best
decisions to run this country, not the person who thinks
they can get the most likes or clicks for their videos.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
Yeah, you know what, I've been saying this for a
while now. The professional politicians you used to people would
come out of colle they would go build a life,
have a family, get to a point where they think,
you know what, I maybe i'd like to to serve,
and then they would go do it and they would
do it for you know, a certain amount of time.
Then they would come home and they would say, I've

(01:34:13):
served my time, I've done my stuff. Now you've got
kids who go to college, and much like everything else
with social media, even more so going from a professional
you know, politician to now becoming a pelebrity to in reality.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
You're a brand.

Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
You're a brand because these guys have podcasts, these gals
have podcasts, They're touring around, they are on social media
all time. They have turned it into as much as
you know it was reality television, now it's influencer politics.

Speaker 38 (01:34:45):
You've become a Brand's the exact way to describe it.
And you're building your brand and you're trying to make
a name for yourself and well, if that vote on
the armed Services bill comes up to that, you know
that may in the way of a video you have
to do. So I'm not sure exactly where they're where
their allegiances are, is it to and also is it
I mean, are they spending the time learning the bills,
learning the information, making the right votes, or again, they

(01:35:08):
just being you know, fed information from the people who
are influencing them, on their staff who want to vote,
want you to vote this way, because they're really not
necessarily that concerned. They're concerned with what's going to get
them the most clicks and likes out there. And that's
just again, I don't think that's a good picture for
America or something that that's going to generate the best

(01:35:29):
of Congress that we can find in America.

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
Politics and all kinds of wacky fun stuff, let's move
on from this really quick. With Signal Gate, the Democrats
are desperate, They are looking for anything, and you know,
I heard Van Jones saying, you know, they're they're out
of you know, really out of character. They're cursing and
they're saying bad things, and they're trying to act tough,

(01:35:53):
and they're looking for something because they don't think that
Even in California where you are, the Democrats are getting
hammered at their halls because people are like, why aren't
you doing more? So it feels like it's a lot
of fake stuff. And now they're like, Okay, we've got
something on them. But it's not email Gate from Hillary
where you were told one hundred times don't use that

(01:36:16):
server and it's not secure, and not only did you
not use it, they also told you not.

Speaker 3 (01:36:21):
To destroy it and you destroyed stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
It's not the same thing as you put somebody on
a text chain and it happened once.

Speaker 19 (01:36:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 38 (01:36:30):
No, absolutely, there's a big difference in it. It's just
the left is so desperate to find something to basically
gotcha moment on Trump because Trump's were throwing a lot
of stuff at them fast and furious. It has slowed down,
and a lot of the stuff that he first tried,
that he's tried in the first you know, eight weeks
or so of being in office, you know, wound up
being lawsuits and they're filtered through the court on constitutional challenges.

(01:36:53):
But right now it's basically they got to find something
where we had. The big crisis was going to be
the Venezuelan or Colombian tariffs because they wouldn't take their
people back, and all of a sudden, Trump imposes fifty percent.

Speaker 19 (01:37:05):
Tariffs on them. Your coffee is going to cost ten
dollars a cup.

Speaker 38 (01:37:08):
Forty eight hours later they capitulate and the tariffs are gone,
and that's no longer story they want to talk about.
Then it became the battle with Fentonol on the Mexican border,
and they're fifty percent tariffs and your guacamolea he's going to.

Speaker 19 (01:37:20):
Cost fourteen dollars a bowl at the restaurants.

Speaker 38 (01:37:24):
And then those they capitulated on that, and all of
a sudden, that story disappeared from the news, and they
is ken find anything that's got any traction again. You're
not going to find these major crisises on a weekly basis.
As much as they would like to think Trump's incompetent,
Trump's crazy, Trump's dangerous, the reality is he's not.

Speaker 19 (01:37:39):
And in fact is if you look.

Speaker 38 (01:37:40):
At his approval numbers, while they are minus four, they're
still as high as they've ever been for him. They're
higher than when he was elected, and they're higher when
he was when he came into office in twenty seventeen.
He has never been this high on an approval number.
And it's so they're absolutely, you know, they're not getting him.
He's you know, tough on Dawn in a sense, you're
like tough on Reagan was. And there's just nothing that

(01:38:02):
they can pin them on. And each day, I said
this from back in twenty sixteen, Each day, and I
didn't think we'd ever get this far. A liberals brain
just slowly like either kills themselves or just gets slightly
more angrier every day Trump is in office. And I
didn't think it would be you know, we would be
eight years down the road on this, and I didn't
think we would make it through the end of twenty

(01:38:23):
twenty before something exploded on the left because of they're
building anger on a daily basis. But now we're four
years farther down the road and there's gonna be another
four years. So it's over and I know how some
of these people are gonna survive. They're just they're just
gonna lose it because they're just so angry every day
that Trump is still in office and they can't find
a way to remove them I don't know if it's
but you know, I don't know if it's road Runner
versus Wiley, Coyote crazy or not.

Speaker 19 (01:38:45):
But there's something out there where this may not end. Well,
let's put it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy andsu to Public Policy Research,
we talked politics, pop culture and all the things.

Speaker 3 (01:38:56):
Last time it was all Trump. There's a lot more people.

Speaker 2 (01:38:59):
Around him now that seem to take on the press,
and the press goes after as much as it is Trump,
if not more so other people right now.

Speaker 38 (01:39:06):
Yeah, I think, I mean, obviously you know this is
this is Trump two point zero.

Speaker 19 (01:39:09):
He learned a lot from the first time.

Speaker 38 (01:39:11):
He made mistakes with with a lot of his appointees
in many cases, and he's learned from that, and he's
making better choices, and he is Yeah, he's basically kind
of he's running it as a business where he's basically
got his you know, his his departmental leaders out there,
go forth and prosper implement my policy.

Speaker 19 (01:39:27):
If you've got questions, come to me.

Speaker 38 (01:39:28):
I'll bail you out occasionally, but if you make too
many stupid mistakes, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stand
behind you and you'll get cut. Like I think you
said earlier about you know, if you make a mistake
with Trump, it's fine. You make the same mistake twice
or three times, then's where you may be having to
look for the door being pushed out of it before Trump,
you know, you know fires you.

Speaker 19 (01:39:46):
Because he does like the fire people. He's become very
good at on national television. We know that.

Speaker 38 (01:39:50):
But yeah, it's it's most definitely, I think it's a
lot better now and he's not getting as much of
the flat though, even though on the left they still
everything goes back to Trump.

Speaker 19 (01:39:58):
He's the mastermind of all this.

Speaker 38 (01:40:00):
It's always interesting because they're constantly going between one day
Trump is the dumbest guy on the face of the
earth who cannot do anything right policy wise, then the
next day he is a mastermind of a great criminal
conspiracy to basically, you know, pull all the strings of
government apart and give Elon In all of the billionaire
buddies as many as much money as they can while

(01:40:20):
they're defrauding the American public and throwing Grandma and Grandpa
off welfare and making homeless veterans. So I can never
understand exactly Is he a criminal mastermind or is he
just a bumbling fool because they every day it seems
to go back and forth or every week on the
left on what exactly is. But what he's doing right
now is he's very popular and he's governing pretty well,
and you know, short of some sort of great scandal

(01:40:42):
coming along, I don't see it. You know, I don't
see getting better for the left. I think it's going
to consumer confidence is so so right now, but his
approval numbers are certainly at some of the highest levels.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy and through Public Policy Research,
Ezra Cline and Derek Thompsons new book out, It's Abundance,
and it's very interesting. You and I were talking about
before the show that you're like, I want to get
that book. Like, if the Democrats want to mount a
populist democrat that's not a socialist, that's not a Bernie
bro comedy, let's give you know, let's just all live

(01:41:14):
in high rises and we'll walk to work kind of stuff.
If you get somebody who is less regulations, controlled immigration,
guess what choice is fine?

Speaker 3 (01:41:26):
Gay marriage is fine.

Speaker 2 (01:41:27):
No, you you have a penis, you don't get a
play in girls' sports, just a common sense, you know,
logical liberal, you could mount a challenge. But even when
I hear a lot of these people and I'm like, yeah,
I mean they're right, regulation over regulation, regulation on top
of the regulations of the regulators. And then it gets
to cultural issues and they continue to miss the mark.

Speaker 38 (01:41:50):
Now absolutely, and that's where Trump has been different from
a lot of Republican including myself. Whereas he doesn't go
on to dive into most of the cultural issues, he'll
dive into the winners. Like you talked about if you
have if you have a penis, you can't play in
women's sports type of things.

Speaker 19 (01:42:04):
But he doesn't.

Speaker 38 (01:42:05):
When's Trump ever brought up or when is he recently
brought up gay marriage? Doesn't discuss it. When's he even brought
up abortion lately? Other than the debate when he was
asked about it. Don't hear a thing about from on abortion.
He knows which issues on socials are losing, he knows
which ones are winning, and he doesn't go after the losers.
He's learned from that over the eight years. I mean,
the guy who's been a marketing genius for years, you know,
for forty years. He knows how to market something and

(01:42:27):
he knows when it's bad and when it's good.

Speaker 19 (01:42:29):
But yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 38 (01:42:31):
But with the Democrats, you're talking about them having to
actually have some sort of a come to Jesus moment
and understand that Kamala Harris did not lose because of
misogyny and racism. Okay, they would have to admit that,
and I don't think you know, you saw when they
were finding a new DNC head.

Speaker 19 (01:42:49):
You know, everybody raised your hand.

Speaker 38 (01:42:51):
If you think Kamala lost because of misogyny and racism,
and everybody who was one of their candidates of that
event or one of their delegates of that event raise
their hand.

Speaker 19 (01:43:00):
And I think I regat who it was. It might
have been.

Speaker 38 (01:43:02):
Don Lemon's had correct answer, because that's what the Democrats.

Speaker 19 (01:43:06):
They would have to give up that narrative.

Speaker 38 (01:43:07):
And I don't know where they would be if they
if they give up that narrative. So yeah, you're right,
it's very simple, but it would take a sea chain
for them on their thinking. And then what you do
with your far left groups, because they will walk away,
they will not. I don't think that's something that African
American women would support African American men would support it,
White men would support it, maybe white women would support it.

(01:43:29):
But I don't think you'd get white women or Black women,
who are traditionally the core of the Democratic Party to
support something like that. So they've got a problem. They
would have to get all their ducks in a row
and say, look, I'm sorry, but what we've been talking
about is not a winning strategy. And you can simply
look at the results of the last election. Not only
did Donald Trump win, he picked up votes in almost

(01:43:50):
every county in America. He did better than he did
in twenty sixteen, almost everywhere. And that is not If
that continues, and it's not just Trump, if they continues
with JD. Vans or whoever the nominee is, we're not
going to win the presidency, and we're probably going to
lose more seats in Congress because come the twenty thirty census,

(01:44:11):
there are going to be anywhere between eight and ten
or more seats. They're going to move out of blue
states and are going to move into red states because
of the mass migration out of it. I think some
of that's covered in the book. If I'm not mistaken.
They talk about the people fleeing from the blue states,
from the horribly mismanaged blue states like California, into the
red states like Texas and Florida and Tennessee, and that's

(01:44:31):
going to be you know, they've got to turn that
around too, because they're going to have to face that
electorally and congressionally because those seats are probably not going
into blue areas of Texas, blue areas of Tennessee, and
blue areas of Florida. They're probably going into red areas,
which means those seats alone are going to be you know,
are going to make it tougher for them to control
Congress going forward. So they've got to sit down and
decide if they're going to really change their party up

(01:44:54):
or not.

Speaker 19 (01:44:54):
And I don't see anybody who's doing it. As long
as they.

Speaker 38 (01:44:57):
Put AOC and Jasmine Crockett out there to talk about
them every day, God bless them and I every day.
I still hope they double down on getting them both
more appearances everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):

This same Major League Baseball opening day kicks off, It's
a day spring is in the air. There's an air
of hey, we can do this, We got a chance.
It's anybody season, but it's also the time and people

(01:47:01):
get surprised. The opportunity that maybe they thought was coming
further down the road shows up. Case in point, Cam Smith,
Houston Astros finding out in a special way that he
made the opening day roster.

Speaker 19 (01:47:17):
But my dream was one day I became an Angeline manager.

Speaker 2 (01:47:20):
I wanted to make me special to someone, and I'm
about to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
I always said, like if you if someone tells me till.

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
You one of the big leads, who will be the
first person you will call? Who will be the first
person you'll call?

Speaker 4 (01:47:32):
I say, my mom, my dad.

Speaker 9 (01:47:34):
Like family, right, Because I think you want to share
with someone.

Speaker 12 (01:47:39):
Who who's been there for you from the day one.

Speaker 3 (01:47:41):
Literally travel ball good days, bad days.

Speaker 12 (01:47:45):
So we're about to do that right now.

Speaker 14 (01:47:47):
So I'm want to.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
Make a phone call someone, and that someone's.

Speaker 7 (01:47:50):
Going to come out here.

Speaker 11 (01:47:51):
It's got a pecially special announcement to do.

Speaker 7 (01:47:53):
Okay, let's see.

Speaker 38 (01:47:54):
If I can find this enough for Hello, are you here?

Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
And off he heads. He was a superstar.

Speaker 2 (01:48:11):
He was picked in the first round in twenty twenty
four and he is the third fastest player in history
to reach the major leagues from the minor leagues. He
only played thirty two games in the miners. That's pretty good.
In Cavillia, Pete old Pete there, he played a whopping

(01:48:35):
zero games in the miners. That's got to be pretty good.
And John Olrude played six. So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:48:41):
Good luck.

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
This guy's gonna be superstar. That's a lot of people
think major League Baseball starting today in Earnest. Here's my pick.
It's hard to go against the Dodgers, it is. I
wouldn't be surprised if we see the Rangers and the
Dodgers the Dayers in the World Series. Phillies are gonna
be good, no doubt about that. Twins might be okay,

(01:49:04):
But when I look across everybody, I just think it's
gonna be the Dwyers and the Rangers in the World Series,
and the Dodgers I think win the World Series four
games to two. Everything subject change, obviously injuries thinks of
that nature. So we shall see three, two, three, five,

(01:49:25):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your Twitter tweet at US text to program, solid
fun show today.

Speaker 3 (01:49:32):
As always, you guys have a blessed rest of your day.

Speaker 19 (01:49:34):
We'll do it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:34):
Hold on, I see you Friday. As always, not Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:41):
