Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Special elections ninety million dollars Supreme Court of Wisconsin. What
top of that, you got elections in Florida, special elections
in a place that Trump Land should feel pretty damn
good about. They want a bunch, But there are issues, rumblings,

(00:35):
if you will, that maybe today may not be all
that it's cracked up to be, and that it could
start to show there are some issues with the way
that Trump is handling everything and the administration. Tons of
money poured into Wisconsin. It's a big deal.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, there's a big race, and I hope you get
out of vote for the Republic.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
The woman is a radical left lunatic and let's see
it wins.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
But the woman will be very bad.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
And you know, Wisconsin's a big state politically, and the
Supreme Court.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Has a lot to do with elections in Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
And that's really what this is all about. They'll talk about, well,
it's about a bullshit or it's about you know, unions
and the right to unionize. It's about Nanana. It's about
drawing up the map to make sure that you could
jerrymander enough that you can always hold power. Welcome to
modern politics. And it's sad that we have that situation

(01:36):
now where a Supreme Court seat matters so much. In Wisconsin. Now,
if the Democrats led by fifteen seats in the House
or the Republicans led by fifteen seats, this wouldn't be
that big of a deal. But because it's such a
tight race and the reality of what may happen when

(01:59):
it comes comes to redrawing districts, and right now the
Republicans have six of the eight congressional districts in Wisconsin,
this would be a big deal. Not everybody's thrilled though,
by the money that's poured in. Elon is the big name,
but just as much money has been spent on Crawford,

(02:22):
who is the Democrat, including tons of money from outside interests.
But Elon, well, he is the big name in this
and right now, Elon for a lot of people is
not really their best pow because they think he's destroying everything.

(02:42):
They think he's single handedly killing democracy.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
So many miscondsides right now are upsess, they're distressed, and
they're looking at what Elon Musk is doing. Our federal government,
is unelected South African person is doing to the.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Things that they have.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
They relied on their entire life, social security medications, you
name it. People are uncomfortable. They want to use their voices,
and that's why they're here.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
I think it's really important to vote for somebody that
isn't bought and sold by the Curtain administration because our
government is getting gutted and people need to realize that
if Musk is going to come to Wisconsin to try
to buy his votes, people ought to know that it's
just bribery.

Speaker 7 (03:23):
The elon injection is really destructive, and offering a million
dollars for a vote has got to be illegal. Right,
Come on, So I am already voted in favor of Crawford.
I'm trying to save democracy.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Of course, you're trying to save democracy. That's what makes
you a good person. Save that democracy. By the way,
he didn't buy a vote for a million dollars, So
we'll let you guys know that person already voted. Now
did he use his money to sway things?

Speaker 8 (03:53):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Hell yeah. Do I think there's too much money in politics?

Speaker 9 (03:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
One hundred percent. Do I get as frustrated as many
people out there, even people on the left, about the
ridiculous amounts of money that are out there. Yes, but hey, left,
I didn't hear you when Zuckerberg spent three hundred plus
million of his own money in twenty twenty complaining so much,

(04:17):
so slow your role with the oh, it's too much money.
He's buying this, that, and the other. Everybody has their
blinders on when it comes to their side. So the
Wisconsin thing is a big deal. Meanwhile, in Floridia.

Speaker 10 (04:33):
President Trump won the election, and then he started plucking
Republicans from the House to serve in his administration and
in his cabinet. And so now after several months, we
are finally seeing the special elections happen for two Republicans
that ultimately resigned and left the House of Representatives.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's right. So Matt Gates, as we all know, bounced
than Mike Waltz, who may not be there very long.
We know about Signal Gate national security advisor, so this
is this may have all gone sideways for Mike. So
his money's all poured in, and it's poured in in

(05:13):
a big way. Now, Gates's district safe. He woned buy
sixty eight points. Now Mike Waltz district Trump won by thirty.
So you think this is safe it's not so safe.
In fact, over the last couple of weeks, tons of
money have poured in, and I mean tons. Democrat Josh

(05:37):
Wheel's brought in ten million, largely out of state cash,
small donors. And Randy Fine is on a bus of struggle,
There's no doubt about that. And it didn't getting any
better for him because you had DeSantis come out and
basically said, what are you doing, dude? How can you
jack the pooch?

Speaker 9 (05:57):
Here?

Speaker 11 (05:58):
Josh weedelther patriot now a badass candidate for Congress. Florida's
future looks fine. Trump indorsed Randy Fine for Congress. Way
too close than it should be. I think Fine a win,
but it ain't as easy as it should have been.
So lots of people watching these today and obviously tomorrow

(06:22):
the results will come in.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I think Crawford in Wisconsin's going to win. I think
the Republicans hold two seats in Florida. Those are my predictions. Meanwhile,
tariff time, what are people saying about tarif?

Speaker 12 (06:37):
So?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
What's a polling say? How do you feel about it?
Tell me? Tell me?

Speaker 13 (06:39):
Tell me.

Speaker 14 (06:40):
A new poll from the Associated Press shows Americans aren't
sold on the President's trade policies sixty percent disapproving, with
thirty eight percent approving, and on his handling of the
economy overall, fifty eight percent disapproving, forty percent approving. But
the President adamant his tariffs will encourage businesses to manufacture

(07:00):
in America and ultimately boost the economy.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I have no idea what it looks like, because I
have no idea quote unquote during Liberation Day which starts tomorrow,
what it at actually looks like, what tariff's really go
into effect. I couldn't tell you, because well, you never
know what Trump. What I do know, though, is if

(07:24):
you miss here this time next year, as Bill O'Reilly
puts it, it's going to be ugly.

Speaker 13 (07:30):
But he's run an enormous risks, far more than people know,
because this time next year, April Fool's Day, twenty twenty six,
if the economy is wobbly and prices have not come
down substantially, Democrats will win the midterms, and that's it
for Donald Trump's presidency, right there.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
One one hundred percent. We've said all along, you really
have six to eight months to prove yourself out, so
the midterms will go in your favor. If you can't.
The struggle is going to be real. You're going to
have now the media crushing you every time there's bad

(08:13):
news about anything that goes on in the economy, and
you're also going to have a lot of people that
may be reluctantly voted for you, but now think, oh
I wish I wouldn't. Now it's going to take time.
Here's the thing though. As easy as you put them on,
you can take them off. But there's the whiplash effect
as well. So if you think you've got an opportunity

(08:37):
to put some on, take them off. Put them on,
take them off, bring them back, do this, do that.
Like I said, I don't know what the Liberation Day
tomorrow looks like.

Speaker 13 (08:45):
What Trump hopes is that he'll be able to make
these deals on paper quickly and therefore have to take
the tariffs off, which he will. All right, he's nimble,
he'll do that. We're going to waive the paper. Look
at the deal, look at it.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I got it. We won. We won. And I'm not
saying that in Tariffs are a hard thing to understand.
They can be confusing as hell, especially with this administration,
and how fast they move in and out of we're
doing this, we're doing that, we're doing this. We'll put
them on over here, but then we didn't. We've held
these off Tomorrow's quoe unquote the Liberation Day. And I'm
not saying they're all bad. My question is, are you

(09:25):
going at this in such a way where you decide
we're gonna put them on everybody all at once and
try to fight a battle and too many places, rather
than maybe send a messageror to and then go over
and say, hey, see what happened over there. Let's not
allow this to happen. One thing Trump does do, and
we've talked about this, finds the eighty twenty thing. He'll

(09:49):
go outside right, stick his finger into the wind, find
out which way things are blowing, and if the bandwagon
says go that way, he'll pivot quickly. The stock market
in this instance is his bandwagon.

Speaker 13 (10:03):
He believes that he can through sheer will make this happen.
You seem scary, then he may be able to.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (10:13):
He's not a timmy guy. Everybody knows that doesn't play
it safe. He's never played it safe, and he's won twice,
so he's gonna But I think in this regard, if
you see the unemployment numbers go up dramatically. If you
see the stock market, that's a key for Trump. He
locks in on that stock market. If it has another

(10:33):
bad quarter, you're gonna see changes, all right, you will
quick changes. But he's gonna ride it out a little
bit more. And I hope he can get those deals.
That's what he's hoping for.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Of course he is. So the economy is still in
We can sit here and talk about Ukraine, which is
becoming a pain in his butt. We consider and talk
about what's going on with with Israel and the Middle East,
which again frustrating for everybody. The reality is we're still

(11:11):
a consumer based society, and it is when people ask
who you're voting for, you're like, hold on, let me
check my balance. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chadmnton Show's your Twitter tweet
at as texta program, Oh kids, lean, speaking of balance. Right,

(11:34):

reach out to us across all of our social media.
So much stuff to get to happy April Fool's Day, Chad.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Betton, Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yesterday Trump signed yet another executive order. Oh this guy, well,
what was it though? Just tell me, Chad? All right?
This was an executive order to enforce the twenty sixteen
Bots Act. What that was designed to stop scalpers from
using bots to acquire mass amount of tickets, which, by

(13:31):
the way, has only been used one time since twenty sixteen.
And if you're going to talk about tickets and fees,
which was another thing part of this executive order, because
we all know those things drive us crazy, you need
to invite somebody to the White House and do it
big and have him wear a sparkly American suit. That's

(13:51):
exactly what happened, Ladies and gentlemen. It's a kid rock.

Speaker 15 (13:54):
Anyone who's bought a concert ticket in the last decade,
maybe twenty years, no matter what your politics are, knows
it is. You buy a ticket for one hundred bucks,
by the time you check out, it's one hundred and seventy.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
You don't know what you're in charge for.

Speaker 15 (14:05):
But more importantly, these bots, you know they come in
to get all the good tickets to your favorite shows.
You want to go to and then they're relisted immediately
for sometimes a four or five hundred percent markup, and
the artists don't see any of that money. And you know, ultimately,
I think this is a great first step. I would
love down the road if there'd be some legislation we
could actually put a cap on the resale of tickets.

(14:27):
And I'm a capitalist and a deregulation guy, but they've
tried this in some places in Europe and it seems
to be the only thing that's us as artists be
able to get the tickets into the hands of the fans.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
It's the prices we set.

Speaker 15 (14:39):
I'll be the first one to say, and I know
the President doesn't like I want to say this, but
I'm a little overpaid right now.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
It's kind of ridiculous. I would rather be, you know,
a here of to working class.

Speaker 15 (14:48):
People and have them be able to come attend my
shows and give them a fair ticket price. I can't
control that right now, so hopefully this is a step
to really be able to.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Make that happen.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Frustration, and this is one of the things when I
talk about this, I'll get a bunch of tacks. I'll
get a bunch of people tweeting at me the frustration
of the fees. The bots are one thing, it's frustrating.
We all get that, but the fees man, can you
do the same thing when it comes to I don't know,
like when you order flowers, they fight out that the

(15:19):
fees costs more than the flowers. Remember, though, there is
a service here with the ticket masters and all the
other ticket things out there. Pearl Jam tried to do
this in the mid nineties and they really struggled and
eventually abandoned. They tried to go round ticket Master. They
couldn't find venues that were big enough for them because

(15:40):
all the other big ones use ticket Master And let
me know what you think, xatus or Instagram at us
or whatever at Chad Benson's show. So yeah, there is
a service that they provide. But some of this fee stuff,
like you said, you buy a ticket for a hundred
bucks ends up being one hundred and seventy and you're
thinking to yourself, what And you don't even get tickets anymore.

(16:02):
You have to print them out or have them on
your phone, and they're still charging you something for that.
That's the frustration America has. And you know how frustrated
you get when you get excited. Airlines do it as well.
You think, wow, my ticket's only fifty nine dollars to
fly from here to there, and then you find out well,
with fees, baggage, et cetera, et cetera, it's seven hundred dollars.

Speaker 17 (18:02):
Canada has the greatest fence ever built America. It is
fool proof if you're can afford it. Really easy to
be the cool, open minded hippie country when there's a
kevlar snuggie of America draped around your fat, frozen asses.
There in the world to talk shit, we don't use

(18:25):
our military. We know we got you taking care of
Go back to bed.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
We'll wake you. In the NHL playoff start well, Daniel
toss there. So we talk about tariffs. Speaking of tariffs,
some of our states really depend on places like Canada.
You know, the White House.

Speaker 18 (18:45):
Seems been making this argument that maybe they're short term
pain but long term gain here. But I was looking
at the numbers. Ninety percent of Montana's imported goods come
from Canada, Mexico, and China. Is this going to hurt
people in your state? You think this is apps is
going to be a short term pain. The President's been
clear about that. Everyone has them.

Speaker 19 (19:01):
And if you're going to remodel your house to make
it better in the end, it's going to be really
annoying in the short term when your house is getting remodeled,
there's drywall desk everywhere and there's workers in your living room.
The reality is that remodel has got to happen in
order to make things stronger and more stable on the back.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
End, and we're going to have some short term pain.
Here's the thing. If you're the president, can you handle
short term pain? Of course you can, you're the president.
If you're a small business owner, how long can you
handle the pain? When I talk to a lot of
Trump supporters, and it's the same thing with Biden supporters

(19:38):
way back in the day of last year, that they're
willing to handle some pain. But a lot of these
people I talked to it doesn't affect them that much.
They're kind of well to do. They're retired, they're not
worried about living paycheck to paycheck, so they could be
allowed and really focus on politics and about getting one

(20:00):
over on the other guy, et cetera, et cetera. They
weren't worried about what the average person who's going through
it cares about. And I think we often forget that
sometimes the people that make the loudest noise, they don't
have the same kind of skin in the game that

(20:22):
everybody else has because they've already run that portion of
their race.

Speaker 19 (20:27):
We've had generations now of countries taking advantage of the
strong American economy, the strong American workforce. That's happened in
Western Europe, where they have not had to pay for
a military, they not had to pay for an intelligence
construct because we've essentially provided them a free umbrella for security.
South Korea is a similar situation. They've had an amazing
economy based in manufacturing and technology that has benefited in

(20:48):
the fact that we've had twenty thousand troops on the
thirty eighth parallel for seventy five years allowing them to exist.
So and it's not dealing from terriffs. This whole broad
construct of America first really outlines that America has underwritten
the prosperous twentieth century for the entire world. And now
what is happening as we're looking down the barrel of
unrecoverable debt and devisis spending. It's about time we start

(21:09):
to rebalance those tables and ensure that we can bring
investment back on shore.

Speaker 9 (21:12):
And that's happening.

Speaker 19 (21:13):
Companies are announcing two trillion of investment.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
I love it. I love that portion of it because
I don't think people realize so tariffs. We've rebuilt Japan
and Germany by telling them, you guys can tear iff
all of our goods one hundred percent, So we're going
to be sending you goods. They're coming to your country.
You tarif it's one hunred, We're going to rebuild your country.

(21:38):
They rebuild their countries and their economies based on tariff's.
At some point in time, you have to ask yourself.
And the joke about Daniel Tosh there which goes for
a lot of Europe as well, which is we are
your big snuggie. Right, it's easy to have free healthcare.
You don't want to know what the greatest tool for
free healthcare is it in taxes? Right, it's a F

(22:03):
thirty five because as long as you know America's got
your back, you don't have to spend the same way
you used to. We are going to handle that. So
a ton of these countries have lived off of us
in ways that maybe the average person doesn't realize. We
became a consumer based nation. That's a big part of

(22:24):
what happens as well. Right, So there's a lot that
goes into it. For Trump, this is not new, by
the way, I think a lot of people think this
is some sort of new thing. Trump's been on this
for decades. That the rest of the world has gotten
a free ride off of us. Not that we haven't
got stuff from them, let's be honest, but that they've

(22:45):
really taken advantage that they definitely got. If there was
ten points in the deal, the rest of the world
they got seven out of those ten, we only got three.
And he's like, let's balance it a little bit more.
Times it was eight to two, nine to one, ten, zero,
Let's balance it a little bit it's not going to
be perfect, but let's balance it. But you're approaching this

(23:06):
in a political way as much as anything else, because
midterms matter and Trump knows that. And today is going
to be one of those days where you have to
because of the special elections. If you were to lose
one of the races in Florida, that's a giant wake

(23:27):
up call. I don't think he is the Wisconsin one, though.
If you lose that, and you lose it big, the
potential for a wake up call could be real. And again,
this is liberation Day. We have no idea what Liberation
Day looks like because tomorrow, because we have no idea
what actually goes into effect. And I know a lot

(23:49):
of people it's reciprocal. I understand it's reciprocal. I get that.
But if we take a downturn, like if you're willing
to eat it, everybody's willing to eat it, that's great.
If you're willing to eat the potential of losing jobs fantastic.
If you're willing to eat a lot of this stuff,
I got no problems with it. I want Trump to succeed.

(24:12):
We have given so much. We're a generous nation, and
we continue to be generous as I want us to be.
That being said, if it goes south and he starts
saying we can't do this, then what well he pulls
all those things back. Yes, but then he's going to

(24:33):
say it makes me look weak, so I can't do that.
The next twenty four hours are going to be interesting,
for sure. Speaking of interesting, the fallout from signal Gate continues.
I look, here's what I know from the people I've
talked to. Waltz is on thin ice, and we're talking

(24:57):
super thin ice, springtime ice in Wisconsin. We'll go back
to Wisconsin. He's on thin eyes. And yes, more and
more people are saying he was probably the guy that
was maybe leaking some stuff to the media through Goldberg.
But it looks embarrassing and the lies and the well

(25:22):
what about this? And what about like, uh, be transparent,
You've got to do better. And because you've continued to
him and Haun certain stages of the signal gate as
about well was this or this person says that? Or
what about this person? No, no, sorry, this is a

(25:47):
giant blank up. And if it's about merit, somebody needs
to go do I think it was done on purpose? No?
I don't do. I think it was a mistake. Yes,
I think this thing could have been put to bed
a week ago in a much easier, honest way where
it wouldn't be hanging over a lot of people in

(26:09):
America's minds. Because this is the first thing that's kind
of resonated with people. I think the economy is going
to be the next thing that may resonate with people.
But Walt screwed up, And there's probably a good chance
that he and Goldberg had talked more than a few times,
because he remember he came out. I was like, I
don't know who that guy is. Well, really, because you
guys got pictures together. Well, I've never talked to him before, really,

(26:31):
so his phone magically appeared in your phone. This is
the stuff where you look like a clown, and what
should have been something put to bed much earlier now
became a much bigger story. It's the snowball effect, and
snowball right now it's getting hot. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

It is the fooling type of day. That's right, kids, April.

Speaker 20 (28:24):
Fools on April Fool's Day.

Speaker 21 (28:26):
Sometimes the pranks from famous brands can be obvious, like
when Burger King announced they were launching a whopper flavored
toothpaste to keep your mouth whopper fresh. Many companies will
try and fool you into forwarding their content today. So
let's prevent that and take a look at how they
usually try and get chet. Since we're talking food, Sometimes
those brands will be subtle. For example, last year, Duck
and Donuts briefly changed their name to Donuts is and

(28:48):
seven to eleven claimed they were going to start canning.

Speaker 20 (28:51):
Hot dog sparkling water.

Speaker 21 (28:53):
I guess if it sounds gross, that's a good indicator
of a lie, because it is gross.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Don't don't even think about that. So it's interesting April
Fools is nobody really knows the origins very murky, right,
you know. France late fifteen hundreds changing of the calendar.
Maybe Chaucer in the thirteen hundreds had some kind of
reference to the foolishness. We're not quite sure where it

(29:21):
came from. There's no doubt though, there's been some great pranks,
and we're going to get to those. What about this year?
What got going on?

Speaker 20 (29:28):
This year?

Speaker 21 (29:29):
The candy Smarties has teamed up with the online studying
tool quizl to introduce a treat called Thinkies.

Speaker 8 (29:34):
The candy that makes you smarter.

Speaker 20 (29:36):
It helps you study somehow.

Speaker 21 (29:38):
There may be oodles of pranks involving pets as well,
like when pet Co announced a drone that would come
help pick up after your dog.

Speaker 22 (29:44):
Download the app and the clean up drone is sent
right to your puff's messy situations.

Speaker 21 (29:49):
This year, though, one of the world's largest building companies,
Tylan Morrison, is advertising fake pictures of luxurious, custom built pet.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Homes, which may not be as crazy as you think,
but there's been some amazing pranks and some stuff that
did work so well. Taco Bell ninety six full page
ads in newspapers across the country claimed Taco Bell had
purchased the Liberty Bell renamed it the Taco Liberty Bell.
Google April Fools, and they've done a ton of stuff.

(30:19):
They had the Google Gulp two thousand and five, the
Google Nose, the smell based search engine, and pac Man
in Google Maps, which was actually playable. Nixon running again
in ninety two. It was the NPR joke. That's as
exciting as they get. There's been some stuff that has
backfired as well. The Earth was ending in nineteen forty

(30:40):
at bast In Radio station. Did That caused a mass panic.
People fled their homes, called loved ones and flooded police lines.
The aftermath, the station faced serious legal trouble, and some
listeners called for The Day itself to be banned, which
is stupid. The Dead DJ prank in ninety eight, DJ
in Kansas City fate that it was getting murdered on air.

(31:01):
SWAT team showed up Disney buying the Moon, that's what
they said. NASA actually had to come out and said
they didn't buy the moon yet. Intota Color TV this
was pretty funny, though, was it. Svergies, which is a

(31:21):
television I guess company nineteen sixty in Sweden told viewers
they could convert their black and white TVs to color
by placing nylon stockings over the screen and thousands of
people tried it. The Mount edgecum volcano eruption in seventy four.
So this is in Sitka, Alaska and beautiful beIN there.

(31:44):
Somebody went and dumped seventy tires into the dormant volcano,
lit them on fire, make it look like the volcano
was erupting. Let's just say the Coastguard scramble planes. Residents
freaked out. It was a prank. Not everybody was thrilled.
The Breads have done it right as well, flying penguins

(32:05):
in two thousand and eight. But you have to go
way back to nineteen fifty seven for maybe the greatest
prank of all, because you see, the Internet wasn't there,
So people are watching this and they did the great
spaghetti Harvest.

Speaker 23 (32:22):
It isn't only in Britain that spring this year has
taken everyone by surprise. Here in the Tichino on the
borders of Switzerland and Italy, the slopes overlooking Lake Logano
have already burst into flower, at least a fortnight earlier
than usual. But what you may ask, has the early
and welcome arrival of bees and blossomed to do with food? Well,

(32:44):
It's simply that the past winter, one of the mildest
in living memory, has had its effect in other ways
as well. Most important of all, it's resulted in an
exceptionally heavy spaghetti crop.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Wait, what so the breats bought this hook line and Sinker.
A lot of people watching the BBC, thinking they wouldn't
do anything like this, pulled this off the.

Speaker 23 (33:06):
Last two weeks of March on an anxious time for
the spaghetti farmer. There's always the chance of a lake trust, which,
while not entirely ruining the crop, generally impairs the flavor
and makes it difficult for him to obtain top prices
in world marking. But now these dangers are over and
the spaghetti harvest goes forward. Spaghetti cultivation here in Switzerland

(33:27):
is not, of course, carried out on anything like the
tremendous scale of the Italian industry. Many of you, I'm sure,
will have seen pictures of the vast spaghetti plantations in
the Po Valley. For the Swiss, however, it tends to
be more of a family affair. Another reason why this
may be a bumper year lies in the virtual disappearance
of the spaghetti weavil. The tiny creature whose depredations have

(33:50):
caused much concern in the past.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
So spectacular now again go back to this nineteen fifty
seven po worn as cultured, wasn't aware, did know everything?
And the BBC, which is, as you know, doesn't really
do a lot of fun stuff, does this and actually
has full video of people harvesting spaghetti on the hillsides

(34:18):
of Switzerland, which is right next to Italy by the way,
and the Italians.

Speaker 23 (34:23):
After picking, the spaghetti is laid out to dry in
the warm alpine sun. Many people are often puzzled by
the fact that spaghetti is produced at such uniform length,
but this is the result of many years of patient
endeavor by plant breeders who have succeeded in producing the
perfect spaghetti.

Speaker 20 (34:41):
And now the.

Speaker 23 (34:42):
Harvest is marked by a traditional meal. Toasts to the
new crop are drunk in these pocolinos, and then the
waiters enter bearing the ceremonial dish, and it is of
course spaghetti picked earlier in the day, dried in the sun,
and so brought fresh from garden to table at the
very peak of condition. For those who love this dish,

(35:03):
there's nothing like real home grown spaghetti.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Ah, that's a win right there, three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three. At Chad Benson Show is

What kind of impact could all of this have? Tesla

(35:53):
being attacked, people are getting caught and damn skippy they
should be for the insanity of which they've decided to
rest everything on by attacking vehicles that Elon doesn't own
and that Elon didn't buy. Wacky and a dining dash
story so freaking insane. It gets you to think it

(36:16):
has to be an April Fool's joke.

Speaker 20 (36:18):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
It's just people are stupid. You listen to the show,
the podcast, It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 24 (36:23):
Show, This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, Immigration,

(36:55):
illegal and otherwise Ooh, it's.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Frauds with pitfalls and fear and who should you talk
about it?

Speaker 9 (37:05):
What?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
What do you think, Chad? Where do you stand on
this stuff? I'll tell you where I stand. We need
immigration to a certain extent, There's no doubt about that.
We need legal immigration. Got to make it easier. And
there are questions out there that have yet to be
answered with fraud, waste and abuse. There are questions out

(37:28):
there that I want transparency on when it comes to
so many of these things that are taking place right
now in this giant immigration debate. It's full of land mind,
you know, I know, I know. The other night Wisconsin,
Trump and his a billionaire pal who are basically going

(37:55):
through all of the stuff in socials purity that they
possibly can look at, and they need to, let's be honest.
Antonio Grassias, who is also uber successful, is part of
the Doughe probe. And one of the things to add

(38:18):
up was a giant chart, a giant chart about social
Security numbers and people looking at going Okay, what exactly
are you showing me? Well, there was a huge giant
spike in the amount of numbers that were given out
to people here, and I mean a massive spike to

(38:41):
the tune of a couple million comparatively to what was
given out before.

Speaker 25 (38:47):
This is what jumped out of us when we saw
these numbers. We were like, what is this? In twenty
one you see two hundred and seventy thousand people goes
all the way to two point one million and twenty
four These are non citizens that are getting social acreey numbers.

Speaker 9 (39:04):
Yeah, this is a mind blowing charge.

Speaker 25 (39:06):
Yeah, just this this literally blew us away, Like we
went there to find fraud and we found this by accident.
And this isn't political. By the way, my parents' immigrants, Yeah,
this could have been great to us. My brother's sister
all born in Spain. I'm pro legal immigration. This is
not this is not political. This is not political. This

(39:27):
is about America and the future of America.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Well, mister Grasse has everything in the world is political.
It's when I point that out to you, and I
want transparency. So when you hear that, just like with
the one hundred and twenty year olds, all right, how
many of them actually received Social Security? We remember that
whole Like there's there's seven gazillion people that are undred
twenty year olds that are on the payroll. Are they

(39:54):
getting it?

Speaker 26 (39:55):
No?

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Okay, well then it doesn't matter. Take them off. That's fine.
They should have been tookken off. But I care about
how many of them actually received money. That's what matters
to me. Now you can get a solid Security number
in many ways. Does it mean to all these people

(40:15):
that have sold security cards here are here illegally? No
non citizens who are present lawfully in the United States
of America? All right, they're authorized to work here, write
work visas international students, with employment authorization, lawful permanent residents.
They get sold Security Administration numbers so they can import wages,

(40:40):
eligibility for benefits, etc. Okay, so yes. Generally, individuals who
are not authorized to work in the US are not
eligible for solid Security. However, there are exceptions where non
work solid Security numbers may be issued for specific faire
federal or state benefits. For instance, if a person is

(41:03):
a non citizen aka somebody here legally and they need
to receive Social Security number to receive federally funded benefits
requiring one by law, they may be eligible, which drives
me crazy. So they're not eligible to work, but they
can get a sold Security number. This is the stuff
that's insane. That's very rare, that's very rare. I want

(41:25):
to know how many of these are really people that
are here illegally. They have sold security numbers, which is
going to be hard to tell. How many of them
are actual visa members, meaning they're authorized to work here.
They've got a visa, whatever visa they have. They've got
an F one visa with an authorization. They're a student
to work here, they've been here for X amount of years,

(41:45):
they've got those H one visas, and they're allowed to
be here. You know, they're programmers, they're whatever it is,
so they're allowed to be here. How many of those
people are there, then we can suss out the rats
because it matters us. I'm sick and tired of the
bs and the not getting the reality and not getting

(42:06):
the truth about stuff. It is frustrating as hell when
we talk about immigration. For one, well, we can't have
a real conversation because nobody wants to upset their tribe
and say, hey, what the hell's going on over here?
I mean, is this right? Is this wrong? Is this?

(42:27):
Is this something that's real? Came across this a week
or so ago, and I was going to play it.
I thought today's a perfect time to play it. John Cleese,
I think back in nineteen eighty Money Python it was
on TV talking about extremism, and it's a perfect example
of how people are living their lives in today's world,
especially inside of the political wack of doess that's out there.

Speaker 27 (42:52):
Interested we've heard a lot about extremism recently, a nastier,
harsher atmosphere everywhere, more abuse and babbah boy behavior, less
friendliness and tolerance and respect for a person's all right,
But what we never hear about extremism is its advantages. Well,
the biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you

(43:12):
feel good because.

Speaker 9 (43:15):
It provides you with enemies.

Speaker 27 (43:17):
Then, explained, the great thing about having enemies is that
you can pretend that all the badness in the whole
world is in your enemies, and all the goodness in.

Speaker 20 (43:26):
The whole world is in you.

Speaker 27 (43:28):
Attractive, isn't it.

Speaker 28 (43:30):
So If you have a lot.

Speaker 27 (43:31):
Of anger and resentment in you anyway, and you therefore
enjoy abusing people, then you can pretend that you're only
doing it because these enemies of yours are such very
bad persons, and that if it wasn't for them, you'd
actually be good natured and courteous and rational all the time.
So if you want to feel good, become an extremist.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Okay, so true, he's not done right, So you've got
something On the other side, they're the bad guys. They're
only going to give you the information they want you
to hear, and vice versa. Nobody's interested in the truth.
Your tribe's over here, their tribes over there. Nobody is
curious about Hey, maybe we should have an honest conversation

(44:13):
about what's going on here. Instead, it's all about my
tribe versus your tribe, which should piss you off. By
the way, again, this goes back a few years. So
you're going to hear some jobs that they're all going
to complain about. Some of them are hilarious because they're
really not in existence anymore. Some of them you may

(44:34):
have heard of. You've heard the job. You're like, is
that still around?

Speaker 27 (44:38):
Now?

Speaker 9 (44:38):
You have a choice.

Speaker 27 (44:39):
If you join the hard left, they'll give you their
list of authorized enemies almost all kinds of authority, especially
the police, the city americans, judges, multi national corporations, public schools, farriers,
newspaper owners, fox hunters, generals, passpraisers, and of course moderates,

(45:03):
or if you'd rather be an extremist on the hard right,
no problem.

Speaker 9 (45:06):
Fine, you still.

Speaker 27 (45:07):
Get a loveliness of enemies, only they're different ones, noisy
minority groups, unions, Russia, weirdos, demonstrators, welfare spongers, metalsome clergy
piece snakes, the BBC strikers, social workers, communists, and of
course moderates and upstart actors.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
Enough.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
I love that, by the way, pretty spot on considering
how long ago this was. Pretty damn spot on.

Speaker 27 (45:35):
Once you're armed with one of these super lists of enemies,
you can be as nasty as you like, and yet
few of your behaviors morally justified. So you can strutch
around abusing people and telling them you could eat them
for breakfast, and still think of yourself as a champion
of the truth, Are a fighter for the greater good?
Are not the rather sad, paranoid schizoid that.

Speaker 9 (45:56):
You really are, which is true.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Having a conversation today's about immigration, you could barely do
anymore because one group thinks that everybody's a victim and
that America has done all these horrible things and everybody
should be let in here, and unfortunately they're very loud,
and yet they're smaller than we realize. On the other side,

(46:19):
you have a group that thinks everybody should be tossed
out of here, no questions ask They're all bad and
that's a bunch of bs as well. You know that,
and I know that. Unfortunately, much like the group on
the extreme left, the group on the extreme right smaller

(46:40):
than we realize, but also very loud. We need to
take the conversation back. I want transparency and I want truth.
I want to know what's really happening in situations, not
what you think might be happening. Case in point this.

Speaker 28 (46:56):
The Trump administration tells a federal judge in Maryland that
ICE may an administrative error last month detaining a man
who had been protected from deportation by an immigration judge
and who has an American child with his US citizen wife.
That man is now in El Salvador's notorious prison for terrorists,
and while the administration admits it was an error to
send him there, it also insists he was an MS

(47:17):
thirteen member and that there's nothing the courts can do
about his deportation now.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
There was also a notice to not remove, but they
removed anyways, and they're saying he absolutely was part of
MS thirteen. Really well, if you're saying there's a clerical air,
who cares? I want to know the truth measure twice

(47:42):
cut once. You want to be better than do better,
And the fact that we can't hold our own accountable
for bs is ridiculous. You're worried about the tribe being
mad at. You don't care about the tribe. I want
the truth. If my tribe doesn't want the truth, then

(48:05):
I want to find a new tribe. That's the way
everybody should be. Three two three, five, three eight, twenty four,

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Joe, Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
A cyber truck is not Elon musk. Do I have
to explain that to you again? Elon human being truck?
Then another person owns who's never met Elon, not the same.

Speaker 29 (50:06):
It's a second attack on a Tesla vehicle in a
week in the city of Nevado, north of San Francisco,
and Jason Biddell wants a person to attack to his
cyber truck to be found. Surveillance video shows somebody casing
the area around four point thirty in the morning and
then slashing all four tires and throwing a piece of
concrete into the windshield.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
He says, some.

Speaker 30 (50:24):
People might be mad at Elon or mad at the government,
but they're taking it out on their neighbors and they're
taking it out on their friends.

Speaker 29 (50:31):
He's now offering a twenty five thousand dollars cash reward
for information leading to an arrest.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Don't be an idiot. You would think would be easy,
but the reality is it's not. People are stupid. People
do stupid things, and they're continuing to do stupid things.
Case in point, this idiot who got caught through.

Speaker 8 (50:48):
Service And how about you pay for the repairs. Write
a chat. You just bought a test, I can wipe
it off. Not no, it's not no, it is a
heat it is a heat crime suit. Did you write
a swastika on Sorry you're upset. Did you write a
swa it didn't even work.

Speaker 31 (51:05):
Did you write a swastika on the it's a key, sir,
we see it on the video.

Speaker 8 (51:10):
Did you Is it a swasti swastika?

Speaker 32 (51:16):
Is it?

Speaker 8 (51:17):
Aw it's not the police right now.

Speaker 31 (51:19):
It's being fingerprinted because they were trying to track you down.

Speaker 8 (51:23):
Thankfully Facebook tracked you down.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
That's right. This guy who runs a company and he
decided that's what he was gonna do. The brains of
the organization some company he runs, he decided, I'm so
mad at Elon that this person has to be a
part of it and this will get back to Elon,
which will fix everything.

Speaker 31 (51:42):
So your business, your freaking livelihood, everything now because you
chose so tough Facebook that you're sorry for writing a
swastika on a test.

Speaker 30 (51:52):
Listen, sorry for what I have nothing against for what
are and I have nothing against you.

Speaker 8 (51:59):
So why did you write a swastika?

Speaker 30 (52:01):
Obviously I have something against Elon Musk, but that's not.

Speaker 31 (52:06):
Because we all paid for it was so it was
bought and paid for a long time.

Speaker 30 (52:11):
That's why it's misguided and obviously I did not intend
to do that.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
He's only mad because he got caught three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
to Twitter, your Instagram, everything else right here on the
Chad Benson Show. And you're right. I shouldn't have done it.
I'm mad at Elon. Elon's not the car. This was

(52:36):
just a message I wanted to send. He's not getting
the message from this guy. Okay, you're an idiot. You're
an idiot. The power of stupid is strong, my friends,
and yes, I think one hundred percent they should be
charged with crimes. It's terrorism because you are trying to
get across a political message and using damage, fear, destruction,

(53:01):
whatever you want to call it threatening as a way
to motivate people to change their behavior based on politics.
That is kind of the definition of terrorism.

Speaker 33 (53:10):
I've made it clear if you take part in the
wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, we will find you,
arrest you, and put you behind bars. Today I'm proud
to announce that the Department of Justice has unsealed federal
charges against another Tesla attacker. We've charged Cooper Frederick in
the firebombing of a Tesla dealership that occurred on March

(53:33):
seventh in Loveland, Colorado. All of these cases are a
serious threat to public safety. Therefore, there will be no negotiating.
We are seeking twenty years in prison.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Firebombing, by the way, is a lot different than keing
somebody's car. I want to get that out there. People
like that seems a little no no no. Firebombing is
what that guy get this person here king the car
before that. Totally different, embarrassing, absolutely apology one that ever
said should be a little misdemeanor and on we go.

(54:07):
But if you're firebombing stuff, well it changes the whole
game right there. You're trying to attack people. That changes
the game. You gotta do better. People, get your head
out your butts. You're missing the show, the podcast, Chad.

Speaker 16 (54:17):
Benson, Chad Son, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
One of the things we do here at the Chad
Benson Show is alert the worlds and America that the
stupid is strong, and kids, the stupid is strong, and
in many cases it's never been stronger. Case in point,
this insanity.

Speaker 34 (55:03):
Yeah, three women from Rochester, New York. We're here in
Chicago to celebrate a birthday and left behind one heck
of a surprise. They decided to dine and dash after
greasing their fingers on chicken wings, eating alfredo, and washing
it all.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Down with flights of drink. Now you see them, and
now you don't.

Speaker 34 (55:20):
We blur the video because the trio hasn't been charged yet,
but you can't miss that distinctive blue wig and the
massive tap they left behind.

Speaker 35 (55:28):
They asked for the ticket to be split. She left
from this table behind me. As she left, they got
up one at a time and walked out.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
That's right, kids, dash and dine. Now you're an adult.
And unless you've got your kid and you're struggling, right,
you're broke. It's awful. You don't want to leave that example,
but I could get that. You're sixteen and you think
it's kind of fuddy. You're fifty, okay, stupid, but again
you're young. These is grown ass women. The helly you

(56:00):
do it? Oh, it gets dumber. The dumb, like I said,
is strong with this bunch.

Speaker 34 (56:08):
Three days ago, the three women from Rochester, New York,
visited Soul Vibes in the Near North neighborhood to celebrate
a birthday and left behind a surprise and unpaid tab
of over two hundred bucks.

Speaker 36 (56:19):
And they actually ran out the door and ran and
hid behind a service vehicle that was in traffic.

Speaker 34 (56:25):
They decided to dine and dash after devouring chicken wings,
alfreto and washing it all down with flights of drinks.

Speaker 35 (56:32):
It's not violent, but it's a crime, and it affects us,
and it affects how bottom, and it affects our team members.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
Yes, yes it does. It is a crime. If you
walked in it took two hundred bucks. That's a crime.
You took two hundred bucks of food. You took two
hundred bucks of drink and time servers, people that are
working behind the cash register, the cooks, the chefs, the

(56:58):
people who cleaned the place, the costs for advertising, all
of that stuff. You rob them. This isn't a awe.
You're trying to feed their kid. No, you were going
there to party. And again, the stupid, very strong.

Speaker 34 (57:12):
They were spotted on surveillance leaving one by one within
thirty seconds of the server stepping away. They also forgot
that they signed up on the waitlist before being seated,
including their name and phone number. And to add insult
to injury, they posted this onto social media, thanking the
restaurant for the free food while laughing at waitstaff like
Chloe Jackson.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
I'm here three days a week.

Speaker 36 (57:34):
Some places do make the servers come out and pay
for those bills, but fab and Salvibesca they don't make
us pay for eight. That's really grateful because three hundred
four hundred could really break our big.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
For that day you signed up. You used your name,
and you used your name and you signed up. That
right there should double whatever they have to pay the restaurant,
because stupid should hurt.

Speaker 34 (57:59):
Sadly, dine and dash incidents are on the rods.

Speaker 37 (58:01):
When you get these dining dash incidents, is you know
the consumer or people aren't doing is dining dash? Might
think well, it's just one hundred dollars, yeah, but it's
hurting the bottom line.

Speaker 34 (58:12):
If charged, the saucebags could face a Class A misdemeanor
for theft of services under the amount of five hundred
bucks that's punishable by up to one year in jail
and a twenty five hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Five Because stupid should hurt you. People are morons and
you should be charged. You should be absolutely God the
stupid again You're stupid for thinking you can get away
with it. You're stupid for doing this. You're stupid in

(58:49):
so many ways. And then you left your name, so
you're triple stupid, and you've posted on the interwebs good gun.
You're not only stupid well, and I want to like
rephrase this if we can go back to the start
of this. You did this on purpose, so you're criminal
but stupid America again, what the hell are you doing? Meanwhile,

(59:14):
the Battle of the Tariffs Liberation Day. We're gonna be
liberated starting. I believe it's tomorrow. Not one hundred percent
sure when everything goes into into play here, but I
think it's tomorrow.

Speaker 14 (59:26):
President Trump is touting his upcoming blits of tariffs against
American trading partners.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
They're reciprocal, so whatever they charge us, we charge them,
but with being nicer than they were.

Speaker 14 (59:36):
But it's still unclear how big these tariffs will be
or which countries will be targeted. The President is adamant
his tariffs will encourage manufacturing in the US and ultimately
boost the economy, but experts caution it could take years
to bring industries back to American soil and in the meantime,
American consumers will likely pay the price.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
And that, right there is what Trump can't have, Bill O'Reilly.

Speaker 13 (01:00:00):
But he's running an enormous risk, far more than people know,
because this time next year, April Fool's Day, twenty twenty six,
if the economy is wobbly and prices have not come
down substantially, Democrats will win the midterms. And that's it
for Donald Trump's presidency, right there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
No doubt, absolute one hundred percent. If you think you're
you're wor thinking about doing the third term, I got
news for you. Stuff goes to hell in a handbasket.
You're not thinking about anything. Oh, Chad, that's not nice. No,
that's just honesty. Again. We like honesty on the show.

(01:00:41):
You're a big fan of the honesty. And I hope
it works, man, I hope it works big time. I
hope we get what is kind of due hours, if
that makes sense. That being said, I'm still not one

(01:01:02):
hundred percent sure what's going into effect tomorrow?

Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Everybody? He says it's reciprocal, but we're fairer. I'm confused.
And remember you may be listening to this at night, podcasting.
This what you should do, and by then these things
could have been called off because she's just you just
doubt now. But it is about the economy period, case close,

(01:01:32):
end of story. And the one thing, as Bill O'Riley
talks about here, that we've talked about as well as
quick as they go on then come off.

Speaker 13 (01:01:39):
What Trump hopes is that he'll be able to make
these deals on paper quickly and therefore have to take
the tariffs off, which he will. All right, he's nimble,
he'll do that. We're gonning to waive the paper. Look
at the deal I have.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Louie, what I got? What do you guys think of this?
You guys pretty happy about this?

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Yes, no, may What about the markets? Because the markets matter.

Speaker 38 (01:02:02):
There's still some very big unknowns here, first of all,
the particulars of the president's plan, which is set to
take effect tomorrow, and also how other countries might respond
and retaliate, and that uncertainty is flowing and rippling over
here on Wall Street, and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Wall Street is one thing Trump gets. Wall Street is
something that he understands and it's a barometer for him
and how things are going.

Speaker 13 (01:02:25):
He believes that he can, through sheer, will make this happen.
You seem skin he may be able to. He's not
a timid guy. Everybody knows that doesn't play it safe.
He's never played it safe, and he's won twice, so
he's gonna But I think in this regard, if you
see the unemployment numbers go up dramatically, if you see

(01:02:49):
the stock market, that's a key for Trump. He locks
in on that stock market. If it has another bad quarter,
you're gonna see changes, all right, you will quick change.
But he's going to ride it out a little bit more.
And I hope he can get those deals. That's what
he's hoping for.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Speaking of writing stuff out. While all this is going
on and the tariffs and what are people saying, what's
the stock market doing? There are other things happening in
Wisconsin and in Florida. There are special elections, and Wisconsin
in particular is a big deal. A lot of people
think this is the barometer for what people are thinking

(01:03:34):
about the first one hundred days or less of Trump's presidency,
how fast it's moving, as well as Florida. Florida's got
a special election today, right. Mike Waltz, who stepped away
to become a security advisor and has done a bang
up job. He's the signal mess, That's all I got

(01:03:55):
to say. And Matt Gates, who was going to be
the nominee for Age but then everybody realized, no, that
was a bad idea and he stepped away. And now
he has a show on One American News or wherever
he's got to show at. Those two seats are going
to be filled. Gates' seats pretty safe sixty eight points.
That's what Trump won that district pie, although it's closer

(01:04:15):
than that, but Waltz his seat is up for grabs
and he won by well at least Trump won that
area by thirty points, and it's way closer because the guy,
I think his seems wheel going up against Fine, the Republican.
He's raised a ton of money and Fine has dropped

(01:04:37):
the ball. So this is going to be very interesting
to see how this plays itself out. I think Trump
and the Republicans hold those seats. On the opposite side
of it, though, a nonpartisan race is taking place in Wisconsin,
and I say nonpartisan winking because everybody knows what's going on.

(01:05:01):
It is a battle of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin,
and it matters for a lot of reasons. Because Elon
and Trump have gotten involved, Soros and the left have
gotten involved, and two people are battling this thing out.
Who again nonpartisan. Nobody's supposed to know who's on the
writer left, but we do. And it matters because of

(01:05:25):
gerrymandering how you draw up the districts. And that's why
this thing has become a huge deal, and many people
think it's a litmus test for so far the Trump
presidency after like seventy five days.

Speaker 10 (01:05:36):
That could have big implications for future rulings on abortion rights,
election and voting laws, but also the way the congressional
maps could be redrawn in this state, which could ultimately
determine control of the US House of Representatives.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
That right there is the most important thing, how things
are drawn up. All the other things, while important for
the state, doesn't have the same implications nationally. Ninety plus
million dollars has flown in here from all over the country.
Not everybody's thrilled.

Speaker 5 (01:06:09):
So many mosconsigns right now are upsets.

Speaker 18 (01:06:12):
They're distressed.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
They're looking at what Elon Musk is doing, Our federal government,
is unelected South African person is doing to the things
that they've they relied on their entire life, Social Security, Medicaid,
you name it.

Speaker 20 (01:06:25):
People are uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
They want to use their voices, and that's why they're here.

Speaker 6 (01:06:28):
I think it's really important to vote for somebody that
isn't bought and sold by the Curtain administration because our
government is getting gutted and people need to realize that
if Musk is going to come to Wisconsin to try
to buy his votes, people ought to know that it's
just bribery.

Speaker 7 (01:06:46):
The Elon the injection is really destructive, and offering a
million dollars for a vote has got to be legal, right,
Come on, So I am already voted in favor of Crawford.
I'm trying to save democracy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Of course, Sure you're trying to save democracy. Okay, thank
you very much for that. Your sacrifice is duly noted.
The million dollars he didn't give a million dollars he
gave him. The people had already voted, and he doesn't
tell you to vote for. I am not thrilled by

(01:07:22):
the amount of money pouring in and for all the
stuff about Elon, nobody's mentioned Sorros, even though Elon's put
more in and his packs put more in the reality
is a Crawford who is the liberal Justice has raised
as much if not more from outside donors outside of
the state. That's not talked about because Elon is bigger
business right now. When it comes to the media, we'll see.

(01:07:45):
My prediction is Crawford and the Liberals win this one three, two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three. Hatch had Benson

show for America filmed in Ireland?

Speaker 6 (01:09:00):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Yeah, we'll talk about that.

Speaker 26 (01:09:02):
Chat Benson Joe, hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reform, hashtag help,
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out the chat Benson show.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
California strikes again, making it so ridiculously expensive and doing
nothing for the movie and TV industry when it comes
to things like tax credits and whatnot. That it is
cheaper to do this right here than to film in America.

(01:09:44):
That's interesting that you shoot the floor there.

Speaker 39 (01:09:46):
It's cheaper to bring one hundred American people to Ireland
than to walk across the lot right fox, right past
the sound stages and do it there.

Speaker 8 (01:09:56):
Crazy.

Speaker 39 (01:09:57):
Do you think if we shot parks right now we
would be in Budapest? One hundred percent we would be.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
We'd be in Budapest. We would be It's so weird.

Speaker 39 (01:10:03):
There's nothing shoots in one nothing nothing, nothing giant, too
expensive to shoot here.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
There are no tax.

Speaker 39 (01:10:10):
Credits, so like all those other places are offering forty
percent yeah, yeah, and then on top of that there's
other stuff that they do.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 39 (01:10:19):
And then that's not even talking about the union stuff.
That's just tax economics of it all. So it's it's criminal.
What what the California and LA have let happens?

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
Criminal? Everybody should be fired. Hey man, I've got buddies
who work in the industry, and they spend a vast
majority of their time somewhere else rather than Los Angeles.
They spend it in Georgia a lot. They do some
in Texas and very interesting. They spend a lot of
it in Budapest, in Bulgaria, places like that, filming because

(01:10:54):
California has decided to do what California does and think, well,
it's so beautiful here, you should just want to be here.
It's a dollars and cents world, and the dollars and
cents people are looking to save, and with all the
stuff that's happening with AI and everything else, you guys
are pricing yourself out of the marketplace. Case in point Texas.

Speaker 22 (01:11:15):
Maybe Texans Harrelson and McConaughey are promoting Senate Bill twenty two,
providing millions to movie and TV producers who come to Texas.
Matthew McConaughey says.

Speaker 39 (01:11:24):
We have infrastructure, we have woodscrews, not velcrow.

Speaker 22 (01:11:27):
But there may be a morality clause attached.

Speaker 15 (01:11:30):
We've got to have a standard for the state of
Texas and what we're gonna support, what we're not gonna support.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
I'm a fact in data guy. I want to know
what the facts are and the data is, and sometimes
you gotta dig a lot deeper to find everything, and
it frustrates all of us. What about immigration, is it
a net positive or is it a loss? Good question.

Speaker 20 (01:14:00):
We're getting the van heart criminals out.

Speaker 40 (01:14:03):
President Trump's deporting migrants who came here illegally.

Speaker 9 (01:14:07):
That makes some people mad.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Intend humane to deport the people.

Speaker 40 (01:14:12):
Who've been working, But most Americans want illegal immigrants kicked out,
and Trump supporters are especially angry about immigrant crime.

Speaker 18 (01:14:20):
Migrants caught on camera attacking two New York City police officers.

Speaker 8 (01:14:25):
We have a new form of crime.

Speaker 4 (01:14:26):
It's called migrant crime, and it's happening at levels that
nobody thought possible.

Speaker 12 (01:14:30):
Unfortunately, today we have ever growing hostility towards immigrants.

Speaker 40 (01:14:35):
You run Brook, legal immigrant himself, is chair of the
in Rand Institute.

Speaker 9 (01:14:40):
He points out.

Speaker 40 (01:14:41):
That illegal immigrants are actually less likely to commit crimes
than native born Americans. The only state that tracts immigrant crime,
Texas reports of are fourteen hundred convictions for one hundred
thousand Americans, versus half that number by illegal immigrants, and
far few or by legal immigrants.

Speaker 9 (01:15:02):
Immigrants don't come at more crime.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
Now. I will preface that with a lot of times,
as the data has shown through interviews after the fact,
illegal immigrants are far less likely to call for help
when a crime is taking place for fear of getting

(01:15:27):
involved in something. That's one thing, But this should be
all the crime. You came here legally. That's kind of
a crime. But let's get to the brass tacks, because
these are proportionally much smaller figures. We want to know
about the numbers when it comes to dollars to cents,

(01:15:50):
all of those kind of things. Those things are the
things that people should be paying attention to.

Speaker 40 (01:15:55):
But there are plenty of other worries, like freeloading. People
will come here and collect our welfare benefits. You can't
have open borders with a welfare state.

Speaker 12 (01:16:06):
We could, of course eliminate welfare for immigrants.

Speaker 40 (01:16:09):
Actually illegal immigrants don't qualify for most welfare benefits. But
migrants kids often attend public schools. Hospitals often treat them
for free. Seems cruel not to sometimes house migrants in
public buildings. These people are mad because migrants lived in

(01:16:30):
their kids high school.

Speaker 7 (01:16:32):
No, we're paying for them, our taxiles are paying for them.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
But my kids have to stay home.

Speaker 12 (01:16:38):
There is a real basis for people resenting that fact
that people are getting handed goodies. And one way to
deal with that is not to restrict immigration. The way
to deal with that is to restrict the goodies.

Speaker 9 (01:16:49):
Why not restrict immigration itself.

Speaker 12 (01:16:52):
The immigrants ultimately a massive benefit to the Americans that
live in American.

Speaker 9 (01:16:57):
Immigrants really are they are.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
I know people don't want to hear that. Now, a
legal immigration having unfettered access to our borders insane. But
immigrants are a massive benefit, and we also should be
able to pick and choose who gets to come here.
There's no doubt about that. One of the things that
I'll say, you know, as we talk about the insanity
of what's going on in campus is and it has

(01:17:21):
gone on since October seventh, essentially, And the protest is
even the people that have I think, you know, like
that lady, the girl from Tuffts last week and then
you know, they show up with the mask and they
take her. Keep telling everybody, if you want to commit it,
you know, a kidnapping, this might be the perfect time.

(01:17:42):
But there's a perfect example of had we known what
you were going to do, think and say about certain things,
would we have allowed you in this country? Probably not?
Probably not. Immigration is a positive. So many people that
I know have come here from different countries live for

(01:18:03):
this country, even more so than a lot of people
that are born and raised in this country. But it's
got to be legal, and we need to make the
process easier. But I also go back to this, we're
not producing children. Understand that portion of this program, we're
not producing kids. And because of that, the workforce is

(01:18:27):
going to shrink as that gray tsunami really starts to crest,
then we're going to be in a lot of trouble. Continue, sir.

Speaker 40 (01:18:35):
Even illegal immigrants are a net gain, not just because
they harvest lots of our food, do lots of construction,
but they don't collect Social Security or Medicare, while those
taxes and income taxes are deducted from their paychecks. So
undocumented immigrants pay more into our economy than they get back.

Speaker 21 (01:18:56):
Still, these new rivals compete primarily with the very America
and most likely to have lost their jobs.

Speaker 9 (01:19:02):
That's true.

Speaker 40 (01:19:03):
Migrants do take away jobs from some Americans, but most
Americans don't want to do those jobs.

Speaker 12 (01:19:09):
Every serious economic study has shown they create more jobs
than they destroy.

Speaker 9 (01:19:14):
You might lose their job, but you.

Speaker 12 (01:19:15):
Live now in a society that has more possibilities, more
opportunities because the immigrants, many of them are entrepreneurs.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
Many entrepreneurs, by the way, many many. I mean, last
hour we were talking about Elon Musk and the whole
soil security thing, and they found all these numbers and
these are things that need to be you know, talked about.
And if you guys remember this.

Speaker 25 (01:19:40):
This is what jumped out at us when we saw
these numbers, we were like, what is this? In twenty
one you see two hundred and seventy thousand people goes
all the way to two point one million and twenty
four These are non citizens that are getting as social
greate numbers.

Speaker 9 (01:19:57):
Yeah, this is a mind blowing charge.

Speaker 25 (01:19:59):
Yeah, this literally blew us away, Like we went there
to find fraud and we found this by accident. And
this isn't political. By the way, my parents' immigrants, Uh yeah,
this could have been great to us. My brother's sister
all born in Spain. I'm pro legal immigration. This is
not this is not political.

Speaker 9 (01:20:19):
This is not political.

Speaker 25 (01:20:20):
This is about America and the future of America.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
Elon immigrant a citizen that right there is Antonio Grassias's
family came from Spain, also immigrant citizens. Entrepreneurial worth billions.
I mean it's a Grassias is worth like two point
two billion. It's a jump change to Elon, but understand entrepreneurial.

Speaker 20 (01:20:43):
Of course.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
This is the land of the free and opportunity, baby,
the land of the free, free for your mind, free
for the opportunity to do things. It's a beauty. So
people come here from other countries. They want to run
at the opportunities that are available.

Speaker 40 (01:21:00):
Immigrants do create a remarkable number of jobs.

Speaker 12 (01:21:03):
Half of all the very successful Silicon Valley startups were
founded by immigrants. Many of us benefit enormously from our
interaction with immigrants, and who has the way to stop
us from that interaction?

Speaker 9 (01:21:17):
Brooks says, restricting migrants is like saying.

Speaker 12 (01:21:20):
I have a right to stagnate and to force all
of you to stagnate with me.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
I'm fine with legal immigration. I like it.

Speaker 40 (01:21:27):
We need people most Americans except legal immigration. But a
big reason people come here illegally is because.

Speaker 12 (01:21:35):
Legal immigration is unbelievably complicated and complex and makes it
almost impossible to come here, and many people, as a consequence,
who want a part of the American dream come here illegally.

Speaker 32 (01:21:46):
It would be better, He says, if you made immigration
limited to jobs, if you come to the border with
the job offer, and you're not a criminal, you're not
a terrorist, and you don't have an infectious disease you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
In that's a little bit much. We need legal immigration,
but we do need to make it easier. Can we
just agree that we need to make it easier. Here's
the thing as we head to some uncertain times. Know
that when uncertain times come, and I'm talking about economically,

(01:22:21):
then when people start competing for jobs, that's when people
get more frustrated with immigrants across the board. But we
need a smarter way for people to come here, even
if it's temporary. Legal immigration absolutely last four years, no
chance in hell.

Speaker 9 (01:22:41):
The United States used to do that.

Speaker 40 (01:22:44):
Well, not the job part, but anyone who came here
without an infectious.

Speaker 9 (01:22:48):
Disease was let in.

Speaker 40 (01:22:50):
Some Americas say, all right, that worked when we brought
into Europeans, but now we're bringing in the wrong people.

Speaker 38 (01:22:56):
We are bringing in peasant cultures, driving drunk and dumping
your crap on the ground.

Speaker 20 (01:23:02):
I mean, it is changing our culture.

Speaker 9 (01:23:04):
They are good people in every culture.

Speaker 12 (01:23:07):
When Irish came here, they were accused of being barbarians
and primitive and so on.

Speaker 27 (01:23:12):
I don't see no Americans, I see trespasses, Irish hawks.

Speaker 12 (01:23:17):
Every wave of immigrants has been accused of the same thing.
The fact is that within a generation or two they
assimilate quite well no matter where.

Speaker 9 (01:23:26):
They come from.

Speaker 40 (01:23:27):
But assimilation takes time. People said, I don't want to
press one for English.

Speaker 12 (01:23:32):
If we demanded and required them to work to learn English,
to assimilate into our culture. Then the best would come here,
not the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:23:40):
Amen. Amen. My grandfather came here. He didn't want to
be a Mexican anymore. He looked over here and he
saw America and that was his dream. And he came
here and he did it legally, and he learned English.
And he didn't want my uncle and I even learned Spanish.

(01:24:02):
He wanted English only spoken in the house. That is
what he wanted because he loved this country so much.
It was not just his home in many ways it was.
It was so much more than that. It was everything
to him for what it gave him. And yes, English

(01:24:26):
being a part of this culture, that was it. Like
I said, I know so many people who come here
from around the globe who live for this country, who
see the red, white and blue, who bleed the red,
white and blue. And if you're going to assimilate and
you're going to love this country, damn skippy. If you're
not and you just want to use this for a
booty call, let us know. And if you're only here

(01:24:49):
because you want to live your life the way you've
lived in in the past, and you want no part
of any of the other things you can get the
f out. That's the reality of it, and I think
a vast majority of people see it that way. Maybe
I'm wrong. Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,

thing still baffles me. Are we going to take it
by force? Really? By force? What I thought you were like,

(01:29:43):
mister non interventionist, mister non getting into stuff. I'm curious
and I get the strategicy when it comes to China,
the worry of China spreading the wings. But nobody's thrilled
by this and the way that we're acting.

Speaker 41 (01:29:59):
Trump Greenland as part of the next international system. He's
basically trying to tear apart the old globalist you know,
international cooperation.

Speaker 9 (01:30:08):
He sees a great power competition as.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
The order of the day.

Speaker 41 (01:30:13):
So it's China, Russia and the US at this point,
and he thinks the US should have territorial control of
its waterways and its surrounding areas. And that's why he's
not fooling when he says we have to have Greenland.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
I understand that, but are we willing to invade Greenland?
I mean, is that really what we're what We're going
to take it at all cost.

Speaker 8 (01:30:36):
What's the cost?

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
I mean, what exactly are we going to do?

Speaker 9 (01:30:40):
Enslave them?

Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, Ladies and Gentlemen, wackados.

Speaker 21 (01:31:26):
You consider killing an animal a good thing to do
if it's needed, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
Is it needed for you?

Speaker 8 (01:31:30):
Yes? No, absolutely.

Speaker 21 (01:31:32):
I would argue that it's not needed for you because
you have choices to make, but you don't know to
make the bad choice.

Speaker 43 (01:31:37):
You're sitting in the Jubilee studio in Los Angeles, as
I feel like you probably have access to a grocery store.

Speaker 31 (01:31:43):
So it's better for me to go to the grocery
store and buy a Hamburger package.

Speaker 8 (01:31:48):
It was killed by somebody.

Speaker 43 (01:31:50):
Is better than buying meat from the grocery store. But
I choose to not eat either. Kind of that's fun
and that's your choice right, and it's fine for you
to have your opinion of me to have my opinion.
But the reason that one person feels more passionately about
it than the other is because one person's choices has
victims and the other ones doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
We're talking about vagans here, paper, so what you guysould
know that we're talking about lunatic vegans here, who are
The reason that one person's choice is different than the
other is because my choice is better than your choice,
because I'm better than you.

Speaker 44 (01:32:26):
Like when you're talking about this supposedly natural food chain,
like lions don't have weapons.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
Yeah they do.

Speaker 8 (01:32:30):
They've got a bunch of mungons.

Speaker 44 (01:32:32):
Sure it's their body. You know, we're not going out
sinking our teeth into the throats of animals and ripping
if we would their throats out.

Speaker 43 (01:32:41):
We can't, So it's not really the far You can't no,
because my question is if a gone wasn't given to
you as a child, would you have invented that piece
of technology yourself? If not, I don't believe you have
the right to use it because it's no longer than
natural fit.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Do you do know how to make shoes? Do you
know how to make shoes.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
This isn't taking the life of somebody doesn't matter.

Speaker 20 (01:33:00):
I'm not this.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
You don't have the food chain. You don't have the
right to wear shoes if you don't know how to
make them.

Speaker 8 (01:33:04):
How does that sound?

Speaker 19 (01:33:05):
The food chain is such an obsolete and outdated term
in today's society.

Speaker 20 (01:33:08):
Can a lion go to the grocery store?

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
I don't know can actually, probably you probably can. I
mean it's probably not good for the people inside, but
they can. The their arguments are so stupid. Well, because
we don't, so we shouldn't. So let's not because you couldn't,
and it's not fair, and it's dirt to dirted youur.

(01:33:36):
I have news for you, ma'am. If I'm hungry, I'll
catch a fish with my hands. If I have to,
I'll catch a dog or a cat. Bet you I
could if I'm starving. You don't think you couldn't. Of
course you could. And the hole, well, you know, you
didn't invent it, so you don't have the right to

(01:33:56):
use it. Okay, So what so whoever, events, air travel, cars, whatever,
you get to invent it, you get to use it.
Nobody else can use it because you didn't invent it.
That's your argument. Stupid is as stupid does. Speaking of that,

(01:34:18):
I bet you these people would support that. Los Angeles, California.
You're California in general, keeping up with their stupidity. Luigi
mangione No, he was not in LA. He allegedly killed
the CEO, Ryan Thompson in New York, and as you

(01:34:39):
guys know, he's a hero, hero to many on the left.
He may have a bill, what a bill in his name?
In his honor?

Speaker 45 (01:34:50):
No, but for now it's officially called the Luigi Mangioni
Access to Healthcare Act, and the name, as you might
guess during a lot of controversy for it, seems to
honor an accused killer.

Speaker 1 (01:35:04):
As Mangioni faces a New York.

Speaker 45 (01:35:06):
Trial for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson,
Californians will soon be petitioned on whether or not an
initiative inspired by his alleged actions should make it onto
a ballot in November of next year. Now, the words
delay and deny were written on the bullet casings found

(01:35:28):
in December at Thompson's murder scene.

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
Delay and deny, that's what they're going to call this thing,
delay and deny the Louis G. Mangioni story or bill.
I like the story. That's you know they're going to
go with it. Alreaty thinking a minute, what can we
do to turn this into something where we make him
a sex symbol but not really, but we're definitely going
to do that because we're not going to cast a
six hundred pound man because this guy's dreaming.

Speaker 45 (01:35:52):
The proposed legislation would make it a felony for insurance
companies to delay, deny, or model any medical procedure or
medication suggested by a licensed doctor in California, especially if
denials lead to consequences such as disability, amputation, or death.

(01:36:13):
The initiative specified that delays and denials can only be
made by doctors on behalf.

Speaker 1 (01:36:20):
Of insurance now.

Speaker 45 (01:36:21):
The proposal is currently under review and open for public
comment through the end of next month. More than half
a million signatures are required in order for it to
appear on a California ballot in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
I'm should I be shocked anymore? I mean, this is
this is what you're doing. Get the Luigi Mangioni bill,
Delay and deny. Look, I want the doctors to make
the right call when it comes to your healthcare as well.
And you know what's interesting when I talk to people,
and I'm sure everybody you guys have been through this

(01:37:00):
doctor orders her test. Sometimes you're like, ah, stupid, useless
test that I don't need. But if they don't order it,
you're like, oh, they probably should have ordered me that.
It is a frustrating thing, healthcare. And I keep telling
the people on the right, we better figure this stuff
out because otherwise the government's going to take it over

(01:37:25):
because we're going to have no other choice but to
allow it to happen because we've made it so convoluted
and so frustrating. And then you think this is going
to be frustrating now with what's going on, imagine what
that's going to be like. And then if you think
well healthcare has got the haves and have nots now,

(01:37:46):
wait till the halves can get whatever they want and
you don't even get to participate, even if you have
a good job and a good healthcare and the have
nots and haves are going to grow even further apart.
And this guy should not be celebrated.

Speaker 20 (01:37:59):
He is.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
It's this comeback We recognize that.

Speaker 45 (01:38:02):
It's including the name of Luigi Mangioni in the proposed initiative,
certainly grabbing attention and obviously drawing coverage and conversation. But
should the proposal actually make it onto a California ballot,
it will be up to the Attorney General's office to
craft the official title for it. On x there is

(01:38:24):
outrage over inclusion of Mangioni's name, critics claiming it glorifies
assassinations and cold blooded killers.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
I agree, you're already doing stupid things, California. Let's not
do anything more, and it's hard because you love stupid.
We know that for sure. Not California, but Florida and Wisconsin,
ladies and gentlemen. Big day for everybody there. Yeah, special elections.

Speaker 28 (01:38:52):
The special elections on the Panhandle and along the stretch
of the Atlantic Coast north of Daytona Beach offer Florida
voters the chance to choose replacements for former GOP Congressman
Matt Gates and Mike Waltz, and Wisconsin voters will choose
among two candidates for a seat on the state Supreme
Court that could shift its ideological balance. That race has
seen tens of millions of dollars flowing in, including from
Elon Musk, who held an event last weekend and supported

(01:39:15):
the GOP backed candidate in the race.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
So why is this important. There's a couple reasons that
these are important, kind of a litanus test to see
what's going on. This is really the only thing going
on right now. But the Wisconsin battle is much bigger
than the Florida. Florida is probably gonna end up both
safely in the hands of the Republicans, but Florida is different.

(01:39:38):
Almost ninety million dollars spent on a non partisan Supreme
Court seat, and we all know there's no such thing
as nonpartisan anymore. You may not be running with an
RD by your name, but everybody knows everything about you.

Speaker 10 (01:39:54):
Voters are heading to the polls here in Wisconsin for
the battle over a single seat on the state Supprime Court.
This could have big implications. Democrats see this as the
first real test of how voters were feeling about President
Trump's agenda, but it could shift the balands of power
on the state court and big implications for the future
rulings on abortion rights, voting laws, election laws, and potentially

(01:40:15):
how congressional maps are redrawn in this state.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
And that's the big thing how things are drawn up
in the state, because we all know who's ever in
control will draw the maps up, and those maps usually
put certain things in safe hands districts I'm talking about

(01:40:38):
of the ruling party, and at this moment in time,
it is six to two control of the GOP. If
that was to change, and you could see the maps
redrawn and then them shot down on a few occasions,
next thing, you know, those maybe one, two, maybe even

(01:40:59):
three congressional districts could come into play. And when you
have a razor thin margin like the Republicans do in
the House, the fear is those seats right there could
tip the balance. And yes, there are other implications as well,
but nothing like what's going on with the potential redrawing

(01:41:25):
of districts. Tariff apocalypse or Liberation Day? What say the people?

Speaker 14 (01:41:32):
A new poll from the Associated Press shows Americans aren't
sold on the president's trade policies sixty percent disapproving, with
thirty eight percent approving, and on his handling of the
economy overall fifty eight percent disapproving, forty percent approving. But
the President adamant his tariffs will encourage businesses to manufacture

(01:41:52):
in America and ultimately boost the economy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
We'll see. I mean, I don't know what the implications
are going to be, because the reality is I don't
even know what they're going the tariff wise, what's actually
going in to effect starting at what midnight tonight or whatever.
There's a lot of uncertainty because as we know, these

(01:42:16):
things are fluid, much like gender. It's fluid. So could
they all go into effect and all of a sudden,
It's like, could one or two go into effect? It's possible.
Could and whatever is going to affect, it's still kind
of He's talked about it even today. He said, well,

(01:42:37):
you know, it's under wraps, So what does that mean.
It means by the time you're listening to this, which
could be a few hours after the show has already ended,
this could be over with already. That's also a possibility,
because you know him, he likes to do those things.

Speaker 14 (01:42:52):
President Trump is touting his upcoming blits of tariffs against
American trading partners.

Speaker 4 (01:42:57):
They're reciprocal, so whatever they charge us, we charge them,
but with being nicer than they were.

Speaker 14 (01:43:02):
But it's still unclear how big these tariffs will be
or which countries will be targeted. The President is adamant
his tariffs will encourage manufacturing in the US and ultimately
boost the economy, but experts caution it could take years
to bring industries back to American soil, and in the meantime,
American consumers will likely pay the price.

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
We'll find out going to be interesting. Indeed, three two, three, five,

It is the Jad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:44:52):
Welcome to chat Chet.

Speaker 24 (01:44:53):
No, not the Country, the Institution, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (01:44:58):
Who's fooling you on a fools Day?

Speaker 21 (01:45:00):
Sometimes the pranks from famous brands can be obvious, like
when Burger King announced they were launching a whopper flavored toothpaste.

Speaker 1 (01:45:07):
To keep your mouth whopper fresh.

Speaker 21 (01:45:08):
Many companies will try and fool you into forwarding their
content today. So let's prevent that and take a look
at how they usually try and get you. Since we're
talking food, Sometimes those brands will be subtle. For example,
last year, Dunk and Donuts briefly changed their name to
Donuts Is and seven to eleven claim they were going
to start canning.

Speaker 20 (01:45:24):
Hot dog sparkling water.

Speaker 21 (01:45:26):
I guess if it sounds gross, that's a good indicator
of a lie.

Speaker 2 (01:45:30):
Yeah, that's a great indicator of a lie. It is
that time of year where we like to have some fun,
and there's a bunch of people out there businesses that
will have some fun today. But I will tell you this,
in the past, there's been some amazing, incredible pranks pull

(01:45:50):
and I do mean incredible. We're talking about end of
the world right nineteen forty people freaked out about it
in Boston, like, ah, what ended up happening wasn't the
end of the world, but people were pissed, and the
DJs have pulled it off. They were in some trouble.
The guy in Titka, Alaska, with pretending like the dormant
volcano would come alive but like all these tires in

(01:46:12):
there and let them on fire and terrified everybody. That
happened or maybe the greatest of all nineteen fifty seven,
still black and white in those days, the television, the
BBC pulled off something. Now remember it's the BBC. Something
very much, very very very very boring, right, as we

(01:46:36):
wouldn't do anything like that, no, one of the great
Franks of all time.

Speaker 23 (01:46:41):
It isn't only in Britain that spring this year has
taken everyone by surprise. Here in the Tchino, on the
borders of Switzerland and Italy, the slopes overlooking Lake Logano
have already burst into flow, at least a fortnight earlier
than usual. But what you may ask, has the early
and welcome arrival of bees and blossomed to do with food, Well,

(01:47:03):
it's simply that the past winter, one of the mildest
in living memory, has had its effect in other ways
as well. Most important of all, it's resulted in an
exceptionally heavy spaghetti crop.

Speaker 2 (01:47:14):
What yeah, spaghetti crop. They don't crow spaghetti, I know.

Speaker 23 (01:47:18):
The last two weeks of March are an anxious time
for the spaghetti farmer. There's always the chance of a
lake frost, which, while not entirely ruining the crop, generally
impairs the flavor and makes it difficult for him to
obtain top prices in world market. But now these dangers
are open and the spaghetti harvest goes forward. Spaghetti cultivation
here in Switzerland is not, of course, carried out on

(01:47:40):
anything like the tremendous scale of the Italian industry. Many
of you, I'm sure, will have seen pictures of the
vast spaghetti plantations in the Po Valley. For the Swiss, however,
it tends to be more of a family affair. Another
reason why this may be a bumper year lies in
the virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weavil, the tiny creature
whose depredations have caused much concern in the past.

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
This was just brilliant, absolutely incredible. They fooled everybody thinking
they had produced spaghetti out of the ground.

Speaker 23 (01:48:12):
After picking, the spaghetti is laid out to dry in
the warm Alpine sun. Many people are often puzzled by
the fact that spaghetti is produced at such uniform length,
but this is the result of many years of patient
endeavor by plant breeders who've succeeded in producing the perfect spaghetti.
And now the harvest is marked by a traditional meal.

(01:48:33):
Toasts to the new crop are drunk in these pocolinos,
and then the waiters enter bearing the ceremonial dish, and
it is, of course spaghetti. For those who love this dish,
there's nothing like real homegrown spaghetti.

Speaker 2 (01:48:46):
Absolutely brilliant BBC for once for the Win three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows,
your Twitter, tweet at as text program right here on
The Chad Benson Show. Solid show today. Obviously tonight going
to be very interesting to see what happens at Wiscatson
and Florida Liberation Day. Maybe maybe not. We will take

(01:49:11):
it with a grain of salt and find out what
that actually looks like when it comes to tariffs. There's
no doubt that this is going to be very interesting
over the next I'd say twenty four to forty eight hours,
and as these things move forward, signal Gates gets further
and further behind. Don't be fooled by anything today. Go
get yourself some tacos.

Speaker 1 (01:49:29):
I'm not really a fan of Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:49:31):
Shut up as always, not

Speaker 24 (01:49:33):
Jack, This is the Chad Benson Show.
