Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show. Trump has taken over DC. He
is now the police of DC. That's right. He is
calling upon his magical powers and the Paw Patrol. Wait
what No, not really, it would be great though. Today
I'm calling the Paw Patrol. I think they're going to

(00:34):
do a great job. They're little and they're cute, but
if they need to, they can do the business.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital
from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, squalor and.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Worse, worse.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to
take our capital back. We're taking it back under the
author already's vested in me as the President of the
United States. I'm officially invoking Section seven forty of the
District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
You know what that is.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I know what that is, sir. Essentially gives you control
of DC police and emergencies, special conditions of emergency and nature.
And so that's what you've done here. So short term,
forty eight hours, up to thirty days. If it needs
to go further, they're going to do what they have

(01:32):
to go to Congress, and Congress has to extend. This
DC's an odd place. It was never meant to be
what everybody fights over. It was meant to be a
neutral place, so one state didn't have any kind of
unfair advantage over another state when it came to the

(01:55):
capital of our country. So originally it was in Philadelphia,
and then they said, all right, we got to come
up with something. And so they decided, we're going to
build this little area and it's going to be not Maryland,
not Virginia, not New York or anywhere else. It is
going to be its own little fiefdom where people come

(02:16):
and this is where we do the people's work. And
it's not based on the state, but an area of
which there's neutrality. And that was it. That's why they
that's why they built the thing. So and it gives
Trump a lot of power. Now here's something that I

(02:37):
am curious about. Is this real crime or perceived crime?
That's what I'm curious about. How this works real or
perceived Because if we're going to go look at the numbers,
the numbers are down.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Crime is down. It's down precipitously. It's not just a little,
it's down a lot. And so I don't know what
it means when he says ticking back, unless it is
just an excuse to enable him to try to control
law enforcement in the city.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Is that what it's about. Is it about what took
place last week? Is it about the homeless and getting
rid of the nightmare that is the homeless problem? And
I'm talking about the people itself. I'm talking about the
problems that have been created through society where we've got
mentally ill people that are on the street. For the

(03:30):
most part, the people we're talking about are chronically homeless.
Not somebody falls on hard times, sleeps in their car
and is trying to get themselves into a position where
they get into a shelter, get into a home eventually.
I'm talking about people that are chronically homeless because they
have addiction issues and mental health issues. Is that part
of this because the numbers don't bear that this is

(03:53):
the thing, the issue, the need. I'm just trying to
figure this all out. Is this a bigger play for
what may potentially be other states that in cities that
are going to get the Trump treatment as I'm liking
to call it. And again, statistics are interesting because you

(04:17):
can everybody twist statistics That's what I tell everybody, Go
do the research yourself. Case in point this Chris Murphy,
Senator Connecticut, talking about all red states that are awful.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Let's be clear about what's going on here. Donald Trump
says that he is taking control of the Washington d C.
Police force today because violent crime is out of control
of the capital city. But you know what are the
two cities in America with the highest rates of homicide.
It's not Washington, d C. It's Saint Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee.

(04:53):
Those are cities in two states run by Republican governors.
In fact, if you look at the states that have
the highest murder rates, the highest rates of violent crime,
by and large, they are Republican states, not democratic states.
States like Connecticut and Massachusetts. California amongst the safest states
in the nation.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
So is he right? Yes? Is he playing with statistics? Absolutely?
And this is the frustration I get with stuff like this,
because everybody's trying to you know, hey, look at this,
here's the facts I have. And that's why I always
say to me this, you know, truth is more important,
digged a little deeper. So let's take where I live Tennessee.

(05:36):
Is he correct, Yes, We're a very red state, very maga.
Memphis a dangerous place certain areas. It absolutely is. Murder
rates data is the data. But what party runs Memphis
Democrat Party. So inside of the quote unquote red states,

(06:00):
cities that are blue. Saint Louis blue, not red. It
may be a red state, but the city itself is blue.
I'm in a very maga part of the world, but
I live in Nashville, which is very blue. By the way,

(06:20):
we don't have the crime rates that Memphis does. Memphis
has a lot of issues. So we start talking about
playing with data. And that's the frustration I get with
so much of this crap. I want the truth. Truth is,
crime itself is down in some areas. Crime doesn't get
reported though California. California's murder numbers may be down a

(06:44):
little bit, and some of the violent crime may be
down a little bit, but when you go look at
a lot of other crime, it was up tremendously because
people just stop reporting it, they stop trying to find it.
It had kind of been like, well, you know, if
you steal eight hundred dollars, that wasn't nine hundred whatever.
Dollars that they told you you could steal without it

(07:05):
being anything really and they're never going to prosecute you. Well,
that doesn't really count then. I mean on the books
there that's a crime, but it's only kind of crime.
So that's a frustration. I want the truth. It's hard
to find and you've got to be willing to do
extra work. Talk about this throughout the day. It's going

(07:27):
to be interesting going forward to see how this plays
itself out. Do I think there's perceptions in certain areas.
DC's always been a bit of a violent place in
certain areas, but you could probably narrow it down to
just a few blocks. The same kind of thing with Chicago.
Certain parts of Chicago or not the best places to be,

(07:48):
New Orleans, East Saint Louis. There are other parts they're
absolutely fine, vast majority of it doesn't mean that there's
not an issue, but also the it's falling apart. That's frustration,
I think for a lot of people. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Medson Show, it's
your ax, your instat all the other things. Meanwhile, real

(08:12):
violence going on. Trump trying to put an end.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
To it, with the historic summit in Alaska just days away,
President Trump seemingly downplaying what could come of it, saying
his message to the Russian president will be clear.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Putin and I'm
going to be telling him, you gotta end this war.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
You got to end it.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
The president though, lowering expectations.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
This is really a feel out meeting a little bit well.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Ukraine's President Zelensky has insisted he will not trade territory
for peace. President Trump said again there will be land swaps.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I think he has choice. We're gonna talk to our
buddy Mike Lyons military analysts coming up a little bit.
He has said from day one, even before they invade,
what this is probably going to look like. And the
way that it's breaking itself down is they got what
they wanted, which is that warm water port and certain

(09:10):
areas in the don Basque region, a few other things
where they have roads and stuff that will take them there.
Ukraine's done a damage in a major way though, to
the Navy of Russia kind of yeah, you guys can
visit it. It's at the bottom of this area over here.
But this is happening, and as much as Zelenski doesn't

(09:35):
want it to happen, the facts bear out that this
is going to happen. This is whether you like it
or not. And a vast majority of the Ukrainians are
ready to put this thing behind them. They want to
get on with their lives without the fear. But they
do want certain concessions, and of which they have every

(09:56):
right to ask for. We can't tell them give up
all of this over here and not guarantee that we
will have their back in case of an emergency, which
is what we should have if we're negotiating this thing.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
The location for the summit is interesting. The US purchased
Alaska from Russia in eighteen sixty seven. President Trump had
one in Zelensky at the meeting. It was Putin who
nixed the idea, but President Trump said he is still
hopeful the three can meet in the future. He has
promised that his first call after the meeting will be

(10:29):
to Zolensky.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
That I'm calling you to tell you and I want
you to understand. He's not a big fan of yours,
and he's going to take a whole bunch of stuff.
And I told him that was totally fine. But but
but we'll be friends, and I promise you that. What
do you mean that's the way I think this thing's
going to go be angry with each other. You need

(10:52):
him there eventually, and Trump is going to have to
make Zelensky realize that there is no other choice. You're
going to have to give up a certain amount of land,
or you can go on without us and our money
and let the other parts of Europe and NATO handle

(11:16):
whatever you think you're gonna do. But I don't think
they want to do that either, and I think they're
going to be just as anxious to tell him you're
not going to get a better deal. Take it three two, three, five,

seven Coming up. We've got a lot of stuff this
day in history. Our buddy Mike Lion's military analyst joints
the program as well, talk about a lot of different things,
and yes, straight ahead Epstein, what's going on with that?
Chad Benzichow, Chad Benson. The Epstein issue, and it's a

(13:14):
big one, is not going anywhere. Trump has already had
serious issues with the base, and you're going to hear
more and more about what's coming out. I think Thomas
Massey and Rokahanna are doing a big press conference and
media event on September third with a lot of the
victims who want this stuff to come out because they're

(13:34):
sick and tired of it. Over the weekend, jd Vance
talked about it on the Epstein issue.

Speaker 8 (13:40):
What the President has said very clearly, because we've had
other meetings about that, is that he wants us to
be fully transparent and he wants the credible information out there.
So we're working to compile the thousands and thousands of
documents that are out there for full transparency. But I
have to say, Maria, I laugh at the Democrats who
are now all of a sudden so interested in the
Epstein files. For four years, Joe Biden, the Democrats did

(14:03):
absolutely nothing about this.

Speaker 9 (14:04):
Story and This was just over the weekend that he
said that.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
BS, it's ridiculous. But here's why.

Speaker 10 (14:10):
The grand jury transcripts that we're talking about here are
a fraction of a fractional fraction of that three hundred
gigabytes of documents in this whole case. The rest of it,
let's say, two hundred and ninety gigabytes rounding all off,
I guess.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Is completely in DJ's control.

Speaker 10 (14:24):
And I've heard the Vice President and the President over
and over say we're trying to turn over everything, we
want to be transparent, But most of this file is
in DJ and the administration's unilateral control, and they've still
done nothing to turn that over. Yes, they'd have to
redact out victim names and identities, they'd have to protect people.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
You can do that.

Speaker 10 (14:41):
So if they want to turn over everything but the
grand jury stuff, the vast majority of the case, they
can do that on the spot, on the spot.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
And even when they went to the judge, the judge
just laughed and said, yeah, this is a bunch of bologney.
This is a diversion. You guys are trying to move
people's eyes. So you can go back and essentially say, oh,
we tried but they wouldn't let us.

Speaker 11 (15:03):
And the judgeaid it might be an intentional diversion that
that's at least how he described the Trump administration's moves here. Now,
the reason he's saying that is because, frankly, the Department
of Justice itself admitted in court papers to this judge
that they believe that information that they were requesting be
unsealed by this judge was already, for the most part,

(15:24):
made public.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
What. Yeah, the base isn't happy. People aren't happy. They
don't believe you. Why should they? Honestly three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benton Show,
that is your ex your insta, YouTube, Facebook, and all
of the other things we love hearing from all of

(15:46):
you read here in the Chad Benson Show. Why should
they believe anything that's going on now? And you moved
her to an area that you shouldn't have moved her
to because as a federal prisoner who's a sex offender,
you don't get these kind of rights. You don't you're

(16:08):
not supposed to be moved. And they did it anyways.
And when I say she shouldn't have been moved, talk
to the experts she should not be in a minimum
security club fed like situation, and she was because she's
cooperating for the administration, not for the people, but for
herself and the administration. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Coming up, my buddy Mike Clients joints the program talking
about Israel, NS, Russia.

Speaker 12 (17:36):
Ukraine, Trump Food Chat, Benson, Joe Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chat Benson Show. That time of the week we
turn to the best man in the business when it
comes to our analysis what's going on? Militarily tired major
and the best damn military analyst around Mike Lions joins
a program. All right, let's talk as they're going to
do on Friday, not in Russia but in Alaska. The

(18:21):
Pooter and Trump's sitting down and it's time to talk.
I guess serious, and what's your take on this?

Speaker 13 (18:28):
Yeah, Chad, I don't see this having a favorable outcome
for Ukraine on any level right now. First of all,
Russia is making significant advances on the ground with their
military in areas that Ukraine had been holding for the
past few months. And so if you're looking at this
formula to negotiate a settlement, there's just not enough leverage

(18:50):
on Vladimir Putin to agree to anything to stop because
he's having success on the battlefield. You know, you look
at you go back to like the date in the courts,
I'd say, right, what stopped you know Bosnia at serve
from that conflict back in the mid nineties. The whole
thing was about stopping the fighting, right, stopping the shooting
at this point, and then figure out the political situation later.
And that seems to be what the Trump answer is here,

(19:12):
just you know, kind of stop the fighting and we'll
figure it out later.

Speaker 9 (19:15):
I just don't see Russia doing that because they don't
have to.

Speaker 13 (19:18):
They're doing well right now, and I'm afraid we're setting
up the administration as well as Zelenski for a big fall.

Speaker 9 (19:26):
I don't think Russia's agreeing to anything.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
You know, we started talking to you before they even invaded,
and you have said from day one, the way this
ends eventually, whether it ends in a week or a
few years from now or whenever is Land for Peace.
And you know what started out as could have been
probably a much better negotiation, you know, twenty four plus

(19:48):
months ago. Now is going to be a lot more
land that Zelenski's gonna have to give up.

Speaker 9 (19:53):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 13 (19:54):
And you saw Trump make a comment that his Congress
has to approve that.

Speaker 9 (19:58):
Well, that makes sense.

Speaker 13 (19:59):
I mean, his legal body has to prove that it's
almost eighteen to twenty percent of the land mass that
the Russia has controlled since really twenty fourteen, to include
Crimea and that and those areas in the Dombas region,
pretty you know, significant part of agriculture for Ukraine. They'll
lose a significant portion of their their coastline on the

(20:22):
Black Sea. So it's a significant loss, there's no question
about it.

Speaker 9 (20:26):
You know.

Speaker 13 (20:27):
That's that kind of Middle Eastern solution to the Land
for Peace. Now, the other side to that, though, is
how does that get finally reinforced? Will will Vladimir Putin
agree to have NATO troops come into Ukraine to defend
that border?

Speaker 9 (20:38):
He sure won't.

Speaker 13 (20:39):
So it's one thing once they give up that land,
the question is how do they secure it from there?
And Ukraine doesn't have any capability to do that either.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Talking to my client's military analysts as we take down
you know, really the two big subjects out there Israel
and Russia Ukraine. The we have to give them if
we tell them, look, you're going to give up you know,
seventeen eighteen percent. You're going to get back a couple
other areas. But there's got to be let's say he
concedes to that. Though. The one thing he can't say, now,

(21:07):
don't worry, we'll take care of it ourselves, is he's
got to have some backing, whether it be of NATO,
the United States, whoever it is, that we will have
his back if the Pewter decides to jump again.

Speaker 13 (21:18):
That's the only way he could possibly agree to it,
and which is why the whole you know, NATO has
been a red line for Vladimir Putin from the very
beginning as well.

Speaker 9 (21:26):
So those are his, you know, two maximalist demands.

Speaker 13 (21:29):
I you know, you look at just the idea though,
of giving up land here in this conflict is something
we haven't seen since when nineteen nineteen nineteen, you know,
World War one, world War two areas in Europe. So
this is this is definitely you know, an outside the
box different, you know, kind of something we haven't seen
in a while right now. But but again, the security

(21:52):
agreement is got had to have to have teeth in
order it for it to be enforced, and I'm not
sure again Putin agrees to that just as well, because
he doesn't really have to.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
The sanctions because the original sanctions were kind of hard.
The people that got hurt the most, if you will,
by in Russia, where the oligarchs who got individually sanctioned
more than the nation itself. But if we were to say,
you know what, if this is the game you're going
to play, We're going to go after everybody you deal with,
and we're going to bring them to their knees to

(22:25):
put a bite on you, because otherwise, I mean, these
sanctions have been pretty toothless.

Speaker 13 (22:32):
Right and they to your point, individually based, and now
I think they're late to the date, right. I don't
think that any sanctions that are applied right now will
have any short you know, short term impact for sure,
and that's when Ukraine needs them, which is right now.
Putting pressure on India is interesting, and you know the

(22:53):
fact that China and these other markets that Russia still
sells to is still can make up for a lot
of those and so you know, again, I I just
see the President walking into a really bad situation. And
I think he's he almost He did kind of say
that yesterday when he made this comment about I'll be
able to tell in the first five seconds or you know,

(23:15):
what's going on here. And I think I think he's
basically setting up the order of the deal to say
he's gonna he's gonna walk away because he can't deal
with him. That's not going to get any solution for Ukraine.
He could turn around and put these bigger sanctions on
some of these other countries. But and that's what Ukraine needs,
is just the pouring in of more military equipment. But

(23:35):
but they're stuffering significant manpower shortages right now. He could
send them five batteries of Patriot missiles, but they might
not have the crews to man them.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
What's your gut say we walk away from this?

Speaker 13 (23:47):
It is I I think that I think that the
President is looking this as a transaction. Look, we saw
him last week in Armenia, and he's going from one
victory to another. He's, you know, he's looking very much
Jimmy Carter like with monocolm Bagan and you know, the handshakes,
and we see all these visuals about all the piece
he's trying to make here. This one is just too big.

(24:08):
This is just not that I just don't know what
leverage he has over Vladimir Putin or thinks he has
over them. It's just too transactional. So it's not it's
not getting solved on Friday.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Do you think how much is Europe going to back
Ukraine because you know they're going to back the hell
at them because they have a choice because Russia is
in their backyard.

Speaker 13 (24:28):
Yeah, they've pivoted. I like what the German chancellor has done.
He's made significant advancements towards helping Ukraine and so but
but the other European nations continue to just confuse me
in the UK and France and now all of a sudden,
I want to pivot into you know, the Middle East.
But you know, them just you know, you know, focusing

(24:49):
on that situation that this needs to be one their attention,
putting in a lot more military equipment than they have
in the past, and in particular the air defense platforms.
So you know, NATO the NATO community though, is rallying
around the president, the NATO leader.

Speaker 9 (25:05):
You see that there, So.

Speaker 13 (25:07):
I do think that NATO as well on board, and
Trump now finds the value of NATO, so that could
possibly weighing into this whole factor.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Talking to Mike Client's military an that's the best damn
military antlest in the business. Let's pivot from there to
the Middle East. Gaza City. You've said from day one
on any of these things we've ever talked about, it
is one thing to fight a war and to veed
an enemy. It's another thing to occupy a territory. And
they're whole hogged going in to Gaza City and going

(25:37):
to try to do this.

Speaker 9 (25:38):
I don't see Israel stopping.

Speaker 13 (25:40):
I think they are looking for a traditional surrender, but
Hamas continues to somehow control the population two million people
that sit there. I'm not sure who's exactly that is.
I think Israel's confused by it. They're in a race
against the pr machine right now of the world. If
you was watching the UN the other day and just

(26:01):
literally every country in the world is lined up against
Israel right now. You see these European countries now supporting
a two state solution in supporting the Palestinian So now,
if you're a Hamas, why would you negotiate, why would
you quit, why would you do anything? You've got other
countries now supporting you. I don't get that on any level.
This is clearly a good versus evil situation. Israel standing

(26:23):
very much still alone right now, all be it with
the United States, and I think that Trump has been
a much better partner to Israel than any democratic administration
would have been.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I think the issue is, you know, for me, Israel's
every right to defend themselves. Hamas is evil, and we
can all debate whether or not they are the reason
of or a product of what goes on because Israel.
Let's be real, Israel Palestine since nineteen forty eight, and
it has always been the even a bad relationships, much
worse than that. It's the people, and the issue is

(26:58):
the innocence out there. When you're seeing kids who are six, seven, eight,
who are are dying and starving. You've got the battle
of the you know, this food bank over this thing.
It's that's the problem that people have. And even the
Israeli people are kind of over. They're exhausted by war
and it's that weird situation where I can look at

(27:22):
the Palestinians and I don't think there's subhuman as some
weirdos out there think. But Hamas is an evil sob
and I don't think Israel can be above reproach in
the way that they've handled stuff. It's where is the
where is the common sense of trying to bring this
thing to a close and look for a solution that
will have a future so people won't worry about their

(27:44):
neighbor blowing themselves up.

Speaker 13 (27:46):
I think in Bibi's mind, and maybe the mind of
some in his cabinet now, is that if Hamas survives,
even once Sintilla, one hundredth of a thousandth of them
of a manner, then this grows by and October seventh
happens again.

Speaker 9 (28:02):
And that's where they're at right now. They're still on
a war.

Speaker 13 (28:05):
Footing, and they've been on that war footing since this started.
And while you know that these ways to stop conflicts
by saying, oh, we just want to stop the shooting,
that just helps the enemy, It helps the wrong side.
And if that happened now, that's happened a couple times
here in this conflict in the Middle East, and it's
only helped Amas, you see. I mean, look, they control

(28:26):
the food, they control all those ways of maintaining their people.
The world you saw the Egyptians putting more pressure on
Hamas right now, but the world should be very clearly
against hamas As not being the body to run the
Palestinian state. But we put in the cart before the horse,
because you can't have a state until you have the leadership,

(28:48):
and we just don't have it there.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
You know what. And I look at this, and again
I've been on I'm a supporter of Israel, am a Jew.
At the same time, I'm not a supporter of what
I think is going on because I think eventually, what
you're doing is you're creating, you know, for every one
person you kill that is a dad or an uncle,
a brother, a grandfather, a mom, you're creating a new

(29:09):
level of disdain without giving people hope. And that is
the problem. It's that kind of we're in groundhol day,
except it's the worst kind of groundhog day.

Speaker 9 (29:20):
Yeah, no, I understand.

Speaker 13 (29:22):
And it's generationally, and it goes on generationally. And you
look at the videos that you know, the videos that
I see that come out in the news organizations. There's
lots of children, lots of women there. I just don't
know where the men are in some of these videos.
And you know they seem to be supporting the cause
there as well.

Speaker 9 (29:41):
But again from.

Speaker 13 (29:42):
Israel's perspective of from their survivalists instincts, which is really
I think, what are more at play here? They feel
that they have to do this now. At this point
they'll occupy gods of the IDF. You're right too, there's
a lot of fatigue that's taking place in that military,
those rotations. You know, this is hurting the Israeli economy
as a lot of people recognize.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
They're still a very small country.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
And at least the pipeline has been shut down from
other Middle Eastern countries supporting a mass that's the other
strategic objective Israel. It's accomplished. They've accomplished so much here,
there's no question about that, defeating three of their major
proxy enemies that are coming from the Iranians. AAMAS has
blawed that the houthis but it's still not enough.

Speaker 9 (30:27):
They stay.

Speaker 13 (30:27):
They don't want any Sincella again, like I said before,
left of Hamas or any other threats in that region,
and whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
You know, they've accomplished in theory on paper a lot,
but I think overall they've done more damage to themselves
in a way, because not only the world, but even
here in America. Mike, I mean my age, I'm gen X,
I'm fifty four. This younger generation doesn't look at Israel
the same way that the baby boomers and stuff do,
and I think they've lost a bit of luster, not

(30:57):
just here but globally.

Speaker 13 (30:58):
Yeah, I you know, I don't think people were on
their side to begin with, so Chat. I think they've
never for whatever reason, I'll take it to a different level,
like anti Semitism is just out there.

Speaker 9 (31:11):
I don't know why.

Speaker 13 (31:12):
I can't. You know, the time I've walked the earth,
I don't see it. I've studied history. You look at
you look at the past. But for whatever reason, the
Chosen People have have been a lightning rod for blame
in throughout history for things that they maybe can or
can't control.

Speaker 9 (31:29):
So I don't think they never had it.

Speaker 13 (31:30):
They didn't have a lot of fans to begin with
when they started, and I think now it's just ingrain generationally.
I don't know how to I don't know how that
society changes because it's not just in the Middle least.
Look at look at I think we see here still
in the United States. We saw obviously what took place
in anti Semitism in the last century in Europe. You
know that might be maybe two of a you know,

(31:51):
of an idealistic answer to you know, kind of say there.
But I don't think Israel has never had anybody on
their side to begin with, so that's why they operate
in the matter they do.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Mike Client's best damn military analysts in the business as always, Brother,
appreciate you talking to you. We'll do it again next week.

Speaker 14 (33:24):
G Irreverence like, Yeah, so what it's the chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Watch Upon in Time, a long time ago.

Speaker 15 (33:43):
Now it's time for this day in history. We look
back on this ship to find out what the famous
things took place all right.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
This day in history, fourteen ninety two, on his way
to the New World, Christopher Columbus arrived in the Canary Islands.
Eighteen fifty one, Isaac Singer received a patent for or
his innovative double headed sewing machine. On this day in history,
eighteen seventy seven, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, a revolutionary
device for recording and playing sound.

Speaker 16 (34:15):
Harry had a little lammagement, quite a flole, and everywhere
that Mary.

Speaker 17 (34:19):
Went the lab.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
We've gotten better with sound since the beginning of the phonograph.
On this day in history, nineteen forty one, Winston Churchill
and Fdr met aboard a ship off Newfoundland. They outlined
the principles that became the Atlantic Charter. On this day
in history, nineteen fifty three, Soviet Union conducted a secret
test of its first hydrogen bomb. And on this day

(34:44):
in history in nineteen eighty one, the IBM's personal computer.

Speaker 18 (34:52):
Not only can it help you plan ahead, it'll balance
your books and give you more time to make do.
And the cost that's icing on the cake your own
IBM personal computer. Try it to distort your year.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
I'm right to tell you, guys, right now with the
IBM personal computer. Back in the day cost the IBM
fifty one fifty sixteen hundred bucks about fifty six hundred
dollars today adj. Justin for inflation. Now, if you would
have upgraded with all of the fully loaded stuff that
include the two floppy drives, color disc, max RAM and printer,

(35:26):
it would cost in today's dollars twenty thousand back then
six thousand buck aronies. Now you know what happened on
this day in history, August twelfth, and we gave it
to you right here on the Chat Benson Show. Coming up,
our number two of the program. A lot of stuff
to get to. We're gonna talk more about Israel. We're
to talk more about DC and Trump. What's it really about?

(35:50):
Will there be another move to another big city? Talk
a little bit about that. Also talk about gen Z
and religion. What's going on there? Very interesting. Plus we
get your urban word of the day.

Speaker 19 (36:05):
Man.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
There's so much stuff still to come. Are you guys
ready for it? Reach out to us across all of
our social media three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is
your ex that is your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more.
Hour number two of the program Straight Ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 20 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
We're gonna get to Russian a minute. We're gonna get
to DC in a minute. We're gonna get to jerry
mandering in a minute. But first, arguably the big news
of the day took place on a podcast. If you
haven't heard, this is incredible. So I wanted to show
you something.

Speaker 21 (37:09):
Okay, what have we got?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
We got a briefcase? Yep, Nick Green, yep. This is
my brand new album, The Life of a show Girl.

Speaker 9 (37:24):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
On The Kelsey's podcast, she announced her new album Live
of a show Girl. Now, if you want to know
when it is coming out, Okay, I'm gonna let you
guys know because I want you guys to have a
sense of how big this is massive. That's the New
Heights podcast right that he Travis dating the young and

(37:46):
talented Missus Swift and Jason Kelsey his brother. This is
going to be coming out later on this year. The
album's release dates not quite known, still a mystery, but
website says copies Will's ship before October thirteenth, Halloween's surprise

(38:07):
from t Swift. See don't you feel better about that?
You're like, dude, come on, already got that album? No
you don't. This is a brand new one. You don't
even close to having this album. Nobody's even heard it
outside of her and twenty eight other people and producers
and whatnot. And of course Travis he's heard it. Mount Umber.

(38:31):
I'm gonna play you this. This pisses me off to
ship pissue off and has nothing to do with what's
going on Rush, Ukraine has nothing, what's going on, Israel
has nothing to do is going on in DC? Is
Trump is now moving on in to take over the
police force there and run it because it's a what
do you say, it's squalor. I don't know. This was
yesterday as they still search for the missing Democrats throughout

(38:54):
the globe. Where's Waldough? Well, there were the Democrats. So
Jake Tapper is talking to Greg Abbott and ask the
question about, hey, you know this is what we're doing.

Speaker 22 (39:08):
Now, Well, let me ask you just this final question, sir,
as a bigger picture item, which is what's unusual about
this is that you're attempting to do it in twenty
twenty five, as opposed to waiting untill the end of
the decade is normally is when the redistricting takes place.
You've explained to the Supreme Court decision that led you
to do this. But what's going on, obviously is not

(39:28):
happening in Texas, is not happening in a vacuum. We
have Democrats in California and New York and other states saying, well,
if Governor Abbott does this in Texas, we're going to
add five Democratic seats. Are you not worried at all
about a redistricting jerry mandering arms race going on? And theoretically,

(39:50):
is it not just better for voters to be picking
their politicians instead of politicians to be picking their voters
through jerrymandering.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
That is what we've been saying forever and a day,
and why we need to get back to it, and
why we need to strengthen ourselves, and why we can't
take this craft from people anymore. They want to pick us,
They want to pick us. They want to make sure
our choice is between the lesser of two evils. No,
I want to pick somebody that works for the people.
I want to pick somebody who works their butt off

(40:20):
to try to do the best they can for their state,
for their communities, for our country, not what we hear
all the time about lobbyists and the party and what's
best for us, not you. That is crap. So I'm
hoping Abbott comes out and says, you know what, You're
absolutely right, we should be doing this. This should be

(40:43):
about the people. That's not what he says. He confirms
what everybody already knows about modern politics, which sucks Jesus,
about the party and the politician, not the people.

Speaker 23 (40:57):
Well, to be clear, listen, all those big blue states
they've already jerrymandered. Look at the map of Illinois, Look
at the map of California, New York and Massachusetts and
so many other blue states they jerry mander a long
time ago. They got nothing left with regard to what.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
They can do.

Speaker 23 (41:15):
And know this, if California tries to jerry mander five
more districts, listen, Texas has the ability to eliminate ten
Democrats in our states. We can play that game more
than they can because they have fewer Republican districts in
their states.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
So frustrated, so you're willing to look at somebody and
go you know what, you're absolutely correct. But instead of
saying you know what, you're rights, this should be more
about the people. He looks and he says, well, if
they're gonna do that, we'll just figure out a way
to get rid of all the Democrats. Oh nice, nice, nice.
Modern politics blows. It sucks. These people don't give a

(41:56):
red ass about any of us. I'm here to tell
you that now they care when it matters to them.
But the thing that matters most to them is them,
not the people them, and that is food rustrating. It
is should piss us all off, should absolutely anger us

(42:18):
to say it, Ah, we know what you're doing. And look,
it's not against the rules. You don't have anything, and
the bylaws or the constitution, you've got none of that
stuff in there, so you're able to go and do this.
But they're just openly looking at us saying, you guys
need to move out of the way because we're gonna

(42:39):
pick everything we want about how we can jerrymander this.
They're gonna start breaking states up to bits and pieces
so they can get more. It's just so frustrating. Oh
my laird. Meanwhile, Trump has taken over DC. You guys
haven't heard. Donald Trump is the new share garriff in town.

(43:01):
Wowa woo wa. What does that mean? Well, there's going
to be new roles for things like National Guard and whatnot.

Speaker 24 (43:10):
The important thing to think about here is what kind
of a role are these National guardsmen going to play.
You heard a lot of discussion from the President about
homeless situation here in the city, about the crime situation.
What exactly will be the role of these National Guardsmen
as they assist in the DC Metropolitan Police and other
federal law enforcement that have also been deployed into the city.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
That remains unclear.

Speaker 24 (43:31):
One of the things that I have heard is a
potential support role kind of what we saw similar to
what we saw in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
I heard yesterday FBI atf I mean all hands on
deck because crime rates are through the roof right.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
Crime is down. It's down precipitously. It's not just a little,
it's down a lot. And so I don't know what
it means when he says taking it back, unless it
is just an excuse to enable him to try to
control law enforcement in the city.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
I don't know. I have no idea what the deal
is with this. I think A lot of it obviously
stems from if you guys can see big balls got
his butt kicked, got his big balls kicked, stopping a carjacking,
and crime's rampant, it's out of control. Okay, what exactly
does that mean now, dad? In fact, as we all know,

(44:31):
you can play around with him. Case in point Chris Murphy. Right,
So here's a guy from Connecticut who is a senator
talking about you know, oh yeah, well, you know what
you think Democrat place has bad. Republican states are the worst.

Speaker 5 (44:43):
Let's be clear about what's going on here. Donald Trump
says that he is taking control of the Washington d C.
Police force today because violent crime is out of control
in the capital city. But you know what are the
two cities in America with the highest rates of homicide.
It's not Washington, d C. It's Saint Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee.

(45:04):
Those are cities in two states run by Republican governors.
In fact, if you look at the states that have
the highest murder rates, the highest rates of violent crime,
by and large, they are Republican states, not Democratic states.
States like Connecticut and Massachusetts. California amongst the safest states
in the nation.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Okay, is that true. Yeah, but what he said about
the states as far as high rates of murder, Yes,
but the cities where Memphis, Saint Louis, Kansas City, or

(45:43):
what all run by Democrats. In fact, the highest violent
crime rates among major US cities Memphis Democrat, Detroit Democrat,
Baltimore Democrat, Kansas City Democrat, Milwaukee Democrat, Albacraquy Democrat, Houston Democrat,
Nashville democt Denver Democrat, Washington, d C. Democrat. So there's

(46:06):
a place where you can play around with the numbers. Yes,
in theory, in Tennessee, we have a high murder rate
in a place like Memphis. The state has Memphis as
a city, but Memphis operates under Democrat leadership. It's just

(46:28):
a game that everybody plays, and I think Trump is testing.
I've said this too about the it's in it in fairness.
DC's a weird place because a lot of these places,
you got these woke DA's, you got these wackadoo's, decide
to let everybody out all the time. Okay, you know,
frustration levels through the roof. D C is a little

(46:51):
bit different because you're under the jurisdiction of a United
States Attorney for the District of Columbia, which means they
prosecute both federal and local cases. So it's an odd
kind of thing. And Trump has every right to do

(47:14):
this there. I mean, he is essentially the king of DC.
I'm the king of the world. We all knew I
was going to be the king, and I'm the king now.
He has the opportunity to basically run this for forty
eight hours up the thirty days. If he wants to

(47:35):
keep control of law enforcement. He then has to go
to Congress if it's past thirty days. I don't know
what it's going to look like in thirty days. And
I think it's an interesting thing, but do I think
that it is necessary. A lot of bad places out
there in certain areas you just don't go. We know that.

(47:58):
And there's also a lot of places out there there
you go and you're like, yeah, we're fine. Talk to
you know, several of my friends who live out there,
They're like, Eh, there's a couple of places I wouldn't go,
But for the most part, I've never had an issue. Well,
we're going to find out what it looks like. He's

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yesterday in Austin, yet again another shooting from a wackado,
this time at a target. The hell is going on.
Subs is armed and has shot multiple.

Speaker 26 (49:59):
People just before three pm local time, a massive response
at target, just a week before the school year resumes
in Austin.

Speaker 17 (50:07):
Right here on the radio shouts fire.

Speaker 21 (50:09):
So then you know.

Speaker 27 (50:11):
They just told us active shooter.

Speaker 26 (50:14):
Police apparently losing track of the suspect until a bystander
in South Austin called police for assistance nearly an hour later,
and clear on the other side of the Texas Capitol.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
How did they catch him? So he goes into target,
does this thing takes off and eventually across town is
where they get him. And somebody calls and goes, what
I could do here?

Speaker 19 (50:33):
He suspect fled the scene, stole a car from the scene,
took that car, wrecked that car, then hijacked another car.
He was then found by Austin p D and South Austin,
where he was taken into custody after a chasing.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Right, there's the chief Chief Davis talking about that, and yes,
if you want to know if he's mentally unstable, well
the answer is yes. So before everybody runs to find
out who did he vote for? What does he feel
about immigration, or gay marriage, or Israel or whatever mental
along list of issues.

Speaker 27 (51:09):
This is the latest case of a suspect in a
high profile case reportedly coping with mental health issues. Bradford
Gilly was arrested last month after police say he stabbed
eleven people at a Walmart in Michigan, his family revealing
he'd been struggling with mental illness since age fifteen. And
two days later, in New York, Shane Timura killed four

(51:30):
people inside an office building that houses NFL headquarters. Sources
to say he'd been treated for depression and had twice
been held involuntarily for mental health reasons.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Remember that guy in New York too that decided to
Nevada goes, hey, we should give this guy. God should
really tell him it's okay to have a concealed carry
what So a thirty two year old man who was
taken to the custody mental health issues long rap sheet.
So this is a person who has serious mental health issues.

(52:00):
It's unfortunate that they have access to anything that can
hurt anybody else or themselves. But we don't live in
a world where you can just toss people in somewhere
without due process and their rights being violated. Three two, three, five,

(52:21):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadmnson shows,
your ex your install let me know what you think
ready in the Chad Benson Show. But we do need
to have serious conversations about how we fix the situation
of people who are mentally ill wandering the streets, but
they're also not ready to live potentially on their own

(52:44):
and deal with human beings. Meanwhile, as we talked about
throughout the day, Trump is taking over DC. He's going
to be the man manning what's going on crime wise
in DC, and man that it's got some ruffled to
say the least. How is he doing this?

Speaker 28 (53:03):
The law President Trump is invoking, never used before, allows
him to control the DC Police Department for thirty days
unless Congress acts to extend the takeover. I asked the
US attorney for DC, Jeanean Piro, if anyone will notice
the difference.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Oh, you're going to notice it.

Speaker 7 (53:16):
You're going to notice it, and the people who need
to see it are going.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
To notice it. Piro says.

Speaker 28 (53:22):
The department takeover and an enhanced show of force by
federal law enforcement and the National Guard will send a
visual message to would be criminals.

Speaker 7 (53:29):
I think they will understand that we mean business.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Okay, so what kind of business do you mean? And
I'm just trying to get a feel of where we're
going with this, because the stats say that crime is
down to a thirty year low when it comes to
things like homicides, robberies, armed carjackings, and assaults with dangerous weapons.
So that's a thirty five percent drop year to date.

(53:55):
Folent crime continues to shrink with twenty six percent decrease
compared to the same period last year, and that was doubt.
I'm not saying there's not an issue. All cities have
issues in certain areas. Just curious, that's all. It's curious.
We'll see how this goes three two, three, five, four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your actual Instead
we got urban ware the Day, among other things, straight Ahea,

Chad Benson.

Speaker 29 (54:16):
Shown Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
The Chad Benson Show. Fort a deeper next hour into Israel.
But if you guys didn't hear yesterday, a prominent journalist
was killed there and of course he was the head
of Hamas Rocket Brigade or some I'm not quite sure.
The way that they've kind of spun this is like, oh, yeah,
we know this guy was a part of it. That's
all the you guys know, one hundred and eighty plus

(55:02):
journalists killed. If you go back and you look at
how many journalists are killed from World War two all
the way up till now, I think even World War One,
it's nowhere near that all of them combined, aren't the
amount of journalists that have been killed over there?

Speaker 16 (55:16):
As Israel prepares for a military occupation of Gaza City,
it's facing growing condemnation for the targeted strike on a
group of Palestinian journalists and their tent outside a hospital
emotional funerals to remember prominent Al Jazeera News correspondent and
asks Al Sharif, four of his colleagues and another freelancer

(55:38):
Alcherif's pressfest laid on top of his body as he's
carried through the streets. Israel has defended the strike, calling
Al Scherif a terrorist who helped Hamas launch rocket attacks.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
I want to know if that's true. Again, do I
believe everything that Hama says? Hell no, But you know what,
als It, don't believe anything anybody he says in war
because the first casually war is truth and that includes Israel.

Speaker 16 (56:07):
Alscherif, who had a young family, gained millions of followers
online documenting the war, while Israel barr's international journalists from Gaza.
He's a one hundred and eighty fourth journalist killed there
by Israel since the war began. This is the idea
of launches new strikes into Gaza.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Israel has no choice but to finish the job.

Speaker 16 (56:28):
Prime Minister Benjamin Netna, who defends his controversial plan to
occupy Gaza City, good luck with that.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
That's going to be a nightmare waiting to happen. And
they're just killing journalists. Well, this guy was a journalist,
did you guys? There was a picture of him standing
next to Maas leaders before October seventh, So does that mean,
anybody who's ever you know, stood a journalist, or anybody
even ahead of state who's stood next to somebody who

(56:56):
is a terrorist or whatever, does that make them guilty? Well, Chad,
you got to understand. According to them, what take our
word for it is not something I'm willing to do.
No offense, Honey. I know it was gone for three
days and I couldn't find my phone, but I promise you,

(57:17):
even though I was in Las Vegas, I was totally good.
Take my word for it.

Speaker 9 (57:23):
Israel is being allowed to tell us that it's murdering
journalists and to get away with it.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Yeah, And this is my thing. If you have no
issues with the way that you're conducting this war, and
there is zero problems whatsoever, and you're completely above board,
nothing to worry about. If that is true, then why
won't you allow journalists in there? Independent journalists from around
the globe. Why won't you because you don't want them

(57:49):
to see something? This is Ryan Grim, He's on Breaking Points,
has a substack. Dude's smart cat talking about the journalist
that was killed.

Speaker 30 (57:57):
I want to make a quick point about the assassination
of Anesel, which happened yesterday in Gaza City when Israel
struck a journalist tent outside of Al Shifa Hospital. I
want you to think about the timing of this assassination.
Israel's out with a bunch of contradictory and absurd documents
claiming that they can demonstrate that he was a militant

(58:20):
at some point previously in his life, and they say
he left that in early twenty twenty three, So even
by their own argument, he has not been a combatant
for several years. Has not been a combatant since October seventh.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
So that's their argument. Well, in a prior life he was,
Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. He's been working for
Alja's years putting stuff out there. Again, do I believe
everything I see? No? But I want to be able
to see it so I can make a judgment.

Speaker 30 (58:51):
Setting all that aside. If they really believe that he
was some secret militant, why now?

Speaker 9 (58:58):
Why do it now?

Speaker 30 (58:59):
Well, well, Israel has just greenlit the invasion of Gaza City.
Anas al Sharif is based in Gaza City and has
said very clearly that he had no intention of leaving
Gaza City. Would be documenting the atrocities that will be
coming with the invasion of Gaza City, so quite clearly
they are now eliminating the people who will be documenting

(59:20):
the upcoming atrocities. We just need to be very very
clear about why this haaven't And if anybody tells you
that it had anything to do with him being a militant,
ask why now?

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Fair? Why now? Why this second? And watch it Huckabee
in them just oh god, it's infuriating. So ched you
pro Hamas, No, I'm pro human being. I'm pro innocent
to saying the Bible to become what a peacemaker. This
is not it. It isn't because he was my own
two eyes. This is not it three two, three, five,

(59:55):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your extra insta speaking of some that's interesting when
it comes to religion, because that's what everything goes back to.
The fact is this is very little to do with religion,
and when you talk a lot about these wars is
the it's the area more than anything else. While BB

(01:00:16):
maybe pushing you know, this is our duty. We're here
to protect ourselves religion and there are wackadoos on all
sides who like to push insane ideas. The truth is
for Israel, they want all that land. They want to expand.
It's what they want to do. And we're going to
get deeper into next hour. What's it like to be

(01:00:36):
a Christian over there? What's it like to live over
there as a Christian on the Palestinian side? What they
have Christians they do, You're going to be surprised about that.
But speaking of religion, gen Z heading to the nerd.

Speaker 21 (01:00:48):
Gen Z is not quietly walking away from faith. They
are running towards Jesus and they are louder than ever.
This generation can't be fit in a box. They don't
want to be fit in the walls of any building.
They want to go to the streets. They want to
fill fields.

Speaker 9 (01:01:06):
And you see this.

Speaker 21 (01:01:07):
Right in the secular setting. You think of things like
Coachella or Lollapalooza. Just happened in Chicago. Are you even
see this in terms of protests that happened and young
people filling our streets. These people want to put feet
to their belief. And the same is true when it
comes to Jesus. Recent stats show three and fourteens are

(01:01:27):
open to talking about Jesus. They're hungry for God, and
this is what we're seeing in the work I do
with Pulse Evangelism since our starting, but it's grown every year.
Young people want more of faith, more of scripture, more
of Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
That right there is of it all. He is the
cat that runs Pulse Evangelical. It's like they do all
kinds of stuff. They are having a big concert series,
kind of like a you know, Jesus Polusa, I guess
the best way to describe it. But so you had
gen X, we were kind of eh about the Lord
as you guys all know. Then you had the Millennials
were like, Nope, not going to do it. Gen Z

(01:02:05):
though and Alpha are like, hey, we got some serious
questions about what's going on here, but we don't want
to be in a situation where you put us in
a box. We don't want that. I love that.

Speaker 21 (01:02:16):
This is student prayer groups, This is Bible studies, This
is viral music trends on TikTok, right, this is students
sharing their faith. I mean, this is happening all around
the world, and it's happening right in our backyard. And
people should feel excited. If you have a faith background,
if you've been wondering where are the young people. I
tell the man, they're back. There is a gen Z

(01:02:39):
revival breaking out. Actually, I met a guy last week,
twenty something years old. He's literally sold everything. Him and
a buddy are now traveling across California trying to reach
their generation for Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
So this is what we do.

Speaker 9 (01:02:54):
We're training the generation of.

Speaker 21 (01:02:55):
Evangelists, and we're trying to reach people where they are,
whether they're a big event or in.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Their backyard, in their home. Let's just make Jesus knowing.
And the interesting thing is this younger generation they look
at Israel's we're just talking about and they say, why
is that group cool and that group's bad? Well because
of this, Well hold on here. But those people over there,

(01:03:21):
those women and children, that's not a part of this.
They're just stuck in the middle. They believe God's love
is there and is available for everyone. They do and
they're active and they're loud about it. But they don't
want the judge side of it, where if somebody's gay,
that you're going to hell. They don't want that. That's
not their jam. That isn't because that's what turned a

(01:03:43):
lot of the gen X world off right because we
grew up in that. Nabrigatzi said it best. The eighties
Christian Parent may have been the worst, like even stronger
than Jesus's parents when it comes to stuff. I always say,
if you guys ever watch my uncle line we do
our podcast, his mom my, grandma. We never saw a

(01:04:05):
movie in our life. All the way through the minute
somebody said, damn, we walked out of the movie was over.
We're never seeing that movie again. Eighties Christian Parent was
like judgment free zones is what they want say, God
loves you, doesn't love the sin, and that includes everybody straight, gay, black, white, green, orange,
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty

If you like talk radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
We're always ahead of the game. We tend to be.
That's what we do. I study, I research, I study more.
I don't have much of a life. Just ask my
wife and kids at times, and for that I apologize
to them, not to you, because I make sure I
give you the best damn show I possibly can. And
we are ahead of it because just what we do,
we're always looking for stuff. Case in point, we're gonna

(01:06:25):
get to the urban word of the day yesterday, or
are they talking about on the old news Nation, Good
Morning American? Whatnot? The lingo of today?

Speaker 31 (01:06:34):
Okay, So also this slang when we say we speak
a different language quite literally, we do gen Z slang.
One of the terms is slaps, Thomas, do you know
what this one means?

Speaker 32 (01:06:43):
Yeah, this is just something that's really great. This is
something that's terrific. It's you've like you've nailed it when
it slaps.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
Right, Okay, this slap.

Speaker 31 (01:06:50):
So it's like a high five. You give me a
hot five.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Involved here we take a high five.

Speaker 31 (01:06:57):
Vibe check, Mariya, I can figure out what that one is, but.

Speaker 10 (01:07:00):
To get a feel for the energy of the situation,
everybody's attitude towards it.

Speaker 25 (01:07:04):
I think that's what that means.

Speaker 31 (01:07:05):
Okay, And how about this one? Raise your hand if
you know this one? How is the phrase main character
used by jen Z Thomas?

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Sure, I think we will. You all know this one.

Speaker 32 (01:07:13):
So you are living your best life and projecting that
like you're the star of your own movie. You've got confidence,
you've got charisma, and you're willing to embrace it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
Okay, perfectly. I couldn't agree more.

Speaker 25 (01:07:24):
It's all about, you know, being the main character in
your own life.

Speaker 31 (01:07:27):
Yeah, I love that. I see that on social media
all the time. I'm taking my main character energy and
now I'm going to do this. It's like create your
own look right, grab the world by it by the horns,
and create your own luck.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
There you go. See even other shows are talking about it,
yet we're ahead of it, and we don't just talk
about is just in the periphery. We give you the
tools necessary to make the winning conversation even more winning
because you get involved, even though you're older and they
look at you and think, you know what that guy

(01:07:57):
or goes She's got it going on. It's not just
mom or dad. They're hip and not hip to be square.
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.
The young have a vocabularity all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day. All right, your urban word, oh the

(01:08:17):
day today? Are you guys ready for this? I like
this one. This is something I've thrown around. Catch these hands?
What's that mean? Means to fight? No? Yeah, throwing hands

(01:08:43):
means to fight. Catch these hands means you're gonna throw down,
You're gonna squabble. That's what we should say when I
was a kid. You want to squabble, you squabble it.
Now it's catch these hands. Oh, very interesting, I know right.
That's who we are, that's what we do. Catch these
hands is your urban word of the day. That was

(01:09:06):
the urban word of the day. Now, you know. It's
always nice to know, isn't it. Speaking of gen Z,
I don't know if you guys have While they may
have their own vernacular, way, do you hear what they're doing?
And I've talked about this for a long time and
a lot of people, Look, it's not true. No, it
is true. Listen to these stats.

Speaker 31 (01:09:25):
We've heard of take your kid to work day. It
used to be take your daughter to work day. Now
it's take your child to work day. But how about
taking your parents to your job interview?

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
Have you heard of this one?

Speaker 9 (01:09:32):
Would you do it?

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
Would you want your kids to do it?

Speaker 31 (01:09:34):
A new study revealing over seventy percent of gen Z
job seekers have brought a parent to an interview, and
get this, over fifty percent say their parents spoke with
a hiring manager on their behalf.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
Excuse me, I could never I was embarrassed with my
mom or dad came to parent teacher night, and usually
they were the first weeks I was in that much
trouble just because it's my mom or dad. Who in
God's name is taking their parent to a job interview.

(01:10:08):
And it gets worse. They're talking to them. Oh my lord,
if my son asked me to take him somewhere because
he needed a ride and he was going to do job,
and it's fine, he's young, he didn't have his license yet.
These are adults who've gone to college. What the hell?

Speaker 32 (01:10:28):
This statistic was really staggering when I saw this. Now
this is extending from help with resumes proofreading resumes, landing interviews,
helping with the job search, and yes, actually calling managers
when there's an issue at the office. I think this
is all part of gen Z has grown up in
basically a frictionalist world. They have apps for dating, they
have apps for food delivery. They don't need to learn

(01:10:50):
how to drive, they can take an uber. Thus this
is spilling over into the job market and we're seeing
the parental involvement being.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Very, very high. No, that's scary, and it's one thing
say mom, dad, can you guys check out this resume?
I mean, we do that with our friends. I got
no problem with that. You want that, you know, second
seat of eyes. But not just even before they get
out into the real world. Professors have talked about the
fact that their parents of kids that they're teaching will

(01:11:21):
call them and say so and so doesn't feel good today,
They're not going to show up. First of all, you're
an adult. Whether you show up or don't doesn't matter.
And if you are going to make a call, usually
it's because something tragic has happened, not because you got
the sniffles. They didn't raise themselves. I'll tell you that,
but come on that is uncomfortable three two, three, five, three, eight,

(01:11:44):
twenty four to twenty three at Ched Benson shows your
ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook as well like and subscribe
and if you have a chance, check us out. We

But last night just chaos, craziness. You know how it is, right,

(01:12:06):
you get the kids, you run around. My wife is
gone for a couple days. Eh, it was exhausted. That's
the way it works sometimes. But we will be live tonight,
so we have a chance to please check us out
on the older YouTube helps us out right here in
the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our number three of
the program, Mike Lions and I had a long discussion
military analyst. We can talk a lot about what's going on.

(01:12:27):
What are the real chances that whatever takes place on
Friday is going to get done? And if it is
going to get done, how bad does Ukraine look as
far as what they're going to have to give up?
Talk a bit about that. We got some what's trending
as well more on the takeover of DC Israel. We
got this day in history as well. Let us know

(01:12:51):
also tomorrow's one hit Wonder Wednesday. We want you to
let us know what would be a great one hit
wonder for us to you know, go over look at
talk about breakdown right here on the chat.

Speaker 20 (01:13:02):
Other child, this is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad

(01:13:31):
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
The economy and the expense of set economy that matters.
How we doing the CPI report.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
The consensus was for a point two percent months a
month rise in the Consumer Price Index cent at two
point eight percent surge from July of last year. The
actual number has come in very close to that, with
the cost of housing driving most of the increase. The
cost of eating at home actually fell slightly from June
to July.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
That's always good. Down a little bit, up a little bit.
This is one of the things that makes up the
stuff that they make the decision whether or not to
raise rates, keep raised the same, or drop rates.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Compared to a year ago. Infleation was up two point
seven percent last month, but strip out food and energy
costs and the increase was three point one percent year
over year. One item pushing up core inflation is air fares,
which surged four percent in July after several months in decline.
There you go, what's it mean?

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Look at consumer confidence and then ask yourself the most
important question, how do I feel in this economy today?
Do I feel good? Do I feel like I'm doing eight?
Do I feel like that tomorrow the world is going
to see a massive collapse in the stock market and
everybody going to be broke? Or do you think you

(01:14:45):
know what we're doing? Okay? Confidence is the most important
thing to me. Stalking to Zach Abrahm, He's like, it's
not as important as it used to be. It's hard
to get engage in all of these things because and
we've talked about this, whether it's the unemployment numbers, whether
it's the crime stats, we'll talk about that, but whether
it's the unemployment numbers or the CPI, because we're going

(01:15:06):
to strip this out, everybody's always looking for what do
we add? What do we take? This is how we
formulate it. That's why it's always about you. The end
of the night, you lay your head down, it's about you.
What are you thinking about? What are you worried about? Period?
That's it right there, right there. Uh. Trump heading to
Alaska as you do, going to meet with the pooter,

(01:15:30):
as you do and going to try to sort out
a deal.

Speaker 6 (01:15:35):
Kind of the President seeming to downplay expectations.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
I'm here for one reason, to get rid of a
war that somebody else started.

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
And after months of positive interactions, President Trump also seeming
to once again blame Zolensky for the war Russia started.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
Now, I get along with Zelensky, but you know, I
disagree with what he's done, very very severely dis This
is a war that should have never happened.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
But why is that his fault? Out of curiosity? Because
he wants what's best for his country. He was worried
about what happened happening. I mean, look whether he went
about it the right way. And the talk of joining
Europe and getting into NATO and that stuff. Putin has
been very open about he doesn't like NATO moving. He

(01:16:26):
wants a buffer between NATO and Europe. Absolutely, and you've
got Pole in there, and he doesn't want any part
of it moving any closer to him. He's been very
open about that. He's also been extremely open about the
fact that he would like to reunite the Soviet Union,
bring it back to its glory days. He said it's
the most devastating thing to ever happen to the world

(01:16:49):
was the collapse of the Soviet Union. So you can't
say I don't want this. You've caused me to fight.
But the entire time you were saying I need to
do this, what well, I don't want you to force

(01:17:10):
me to take that over there, although I've always dreamed,
even before you, of having that over there. So that's
kind of the way that this has gone. And he's
gonna have to give up stuff. Zelensky's gonna hate that.
He's going to he has no choice. He's going to

(01:17:32):
We're gonna talk to Mike Lions, our military analysts coming
up a little bit, and he'll probably tell you the
same thing. He's going to have to give stuff up.
He ain't gonna like it, We're gonna have to do it.

Speaker 7 (01:17:42):
The location for the summit is interesting. The US purchased
Alaska from Russia in eighteen sixty seven. President Trump had
one in Zelensky at the meeting. It was Putin who
nixed the idea, but President Trump said he is still
hopeful the three can meet in the future. He has
promised that he'll his first call after the meeting will
be to Zelenski.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
We'll see how that goes.

Speaker 19 (01:18:07):
That.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Let me tell you something. Mysteries Vladimir that Vladimir whatever,
he's not going for it. You're screwed. He's getting ready
to attack again, so be prepared for that that is coming. Meanwhile,
speaking of attack, Trump is taking over DC because crime

(01:18:28):
is rampant. It's never been more rampant ever in the
history of the world. And stuff. It's rampant everywhere Squalor.
People are living in Squalor.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
This issue directly impacts the functioning of the federal government
and is a threat to America.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Really, it's a threat to our country. Really, really, really
is it. I mean, let's be honest. Do you feel threatened.
I'm gonna be real, are you Like, Dude, I can't
go outside? Why DC? I could get mugged. You don't
live anywhere near DC? Doesn't matter, Jed, You don't get it.
Crime is through the roof. Never been crime this high

(01:19:09):
in the history of forever. This year.

Speaker 33 (01:19:12):
Crime isn't just down from twenty twenty three, it's also
down from twenty nineteen before the pandemic, and we're at
a thirty year violent crime low.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Missus Bouaser there, she's the mayor of DC and it
is a thirty year violent crime. Low. I don't know
what's going to happen. I don't know what. He has
every right to do this, Okay, if everybody freaks out,
you can't do this now he does. Do I want
to see him do this anywhere else.

Speaker 18 (01:19:46):
I do not.

Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
I don't want to see any kind of this crap
for policing anywhere else. DC is a weird situation. I mean,
you know, they're the only area in the country where
the you know you're talking about, like the Department of
Justice handles the prosecution's federal level and state level, city level,

(01:20:11):
that kind of stuff. It's the only place, the only
courts in the land that do that. So it's a
weird situation. And I think it's through autical seventy forty
he's allowed to do this, but only up to thirty days.
Then he has to either get Congress's approval or not.
And I think their thing is we'll show force, and
I think they wants to flex a little bit for
the nation. I will just point out that the head

(01:20:32):
of the DC police union here's a direct quote. We
completely agree with the President that crime in the District
of Columbia is out of control and something needs to
be done with it.

Speaker 34 (01:20:42):
So it sounds like to me among a rank and file,
the president has some support from the cops for doing
this today in Washington.

Speaker 35 (01:20:48):
No, we do need the support. We need to support
to the public. We need to support numerous people. No
one wants to take this job anymore. Look at Washington
d C. They give me a twenty five thousand dollars
bonus and they still can't get anyone to take their job.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
You know, post Floyd, post COVID. The law enforcement is
all along as seen.

Speaker 35 (01:21:03):
As an honorable way to a profession, and we're suffering
and the public is suffering.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
So something has to get fixed. I'm not saying what the.

Speaker 35 (01:21:11):
President is doing one hundred percent correct, but at this point,
crime the way it's going, we have to do something.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
Here's my question, is it real or imagined? Crime? Is there?
There's no doubt, But is it a sense of crime?
Because it is in front of us twenty four to
seven Because we have cameras on our phones, we have
cameras on the streets. It is available to us to

(01:21:38):
look at everything all the time, and it gets on
your feed and then the next thing. You know, you
think everything is a shark attack, a plane crash. Crime.
Look at the statistics. Some areas crime while down is
we know up? Well, how can that be? Well, if

(01:21:59):
you don't prosecute crime, you don't even count crime as
crime anymore. It's hard even though it's on the books,
it's hard to say crime is down. See California. That's
why they got rid of Chesebodeine. They tried to recall
gas going, but they ended up losing eventually when he
was up for reelection again. That's why you've seen places
make a move towards Okay, you know what, we don't

(01:22:22):
need to overcharge people. That being said, we don't need
to release everybody on their own recognisance, even if they've
done something ridiculous, attack somebody, sexual assault, because we've seen that.
So is it a perception because of the confirmation bias

(01:22:46):
of crime on our feeds? Because that's a lot of
what I do believe feeds. This could I be wrong,
of course I could, But I look at the data.
I'm a data cat. Data cat says this says it's down.
So Trump's flexing his muscles and like how that we're
gonna crush it. It's gonna be down thirty bazillion more percent. Okay,

(01:23:08):
we'll find out. Top of all the stuff that we
were talking about today, we're also talking about what's going
on in Israel, and we're gonna get deeper into it tomorrow.
I'm gonna go deeper dive tomorrow because I think we
need to have a serious conversation about this in a
way that is can I just say this in a
way that is broken down much more than a segment

(01:23:32):
or opinion, but just giving you the truth, the reality
voices from there and elsewhere. It's the whole thing is
frustrating because we're seeing people who are dying. We are
seeing people with our own eyes, and we're being told

(01:23:54):
that's not real. We talked about it last hour. You
killed a journalist, but he was a part of Hamas.
Where's your proof here, No, that's not really the proof.
Where's the proof? Well take our word for it. I
don't take anybody's word for it. I want to know
what the reality is. And we're never going to get

(01:24:15):
one hundred percent of what the reality is because people
are going to skew it. You know. That's the frustration
level that we all live in right now with information
and data. Is people only want to give you their facts.
I was talking about last hour. Chris Murphy, Connecticut Senator's
a perfect example of only giving you a portion of

(01:24:36):
the facts. Comes out, blames Trump for what's going on
in DC. Says, by the way, Republican states have a
higher murder rate. Is that true? Yeah? Are you giving
all of the facts. What do you mean, Well, while
they have a higher murder rate, the cities which the

(01:24:56):
murder rate is through the roof are cities that are
completely controlled and run by Democrats. So there's that. That's
a perfect example of here's some facts. This is the data.
Here's my team's score. The other team doesn't get a

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
I was trending on the old inn webs on this chairsday.
I start with the Robbie Brewer crash. Robbie Brewer, veteran
race car driver, medical incident after he hit the wall,
passed away meteor shower explosion at steel plant that was massive.
The fact that more people aren't dead is crazy. It

(01:27:24):
is tropical storm Aaron about time you got here. Taylor
Swift's got a new album coming out. We Don't Wanna.
Trump says he's going to decide on marriage. You want
to reclassification in the coming weeks. What does that mean?
I don't know. We're gonna find out. It's not going
to be a situation where they're going to make it legal,

(01:27:46):
just gonna classify it as something different, because right now
it's classified. I think a schedule one, which is so absurd,
just so absurd. Head over to Magical World of Acts
trending right now. Trump DC seizes control crime up. No,
not really, actually crimes down. Doesn't matter, He's taking it over.

(01:28:09):
Can't stop him. Epstein files not going anywhere at all.
UFC Paramount Plus both trending, and that's because of the
big deal that they made and announced yesterday seven point
seven million dollars between the UFC and Paramount Plus. So

(01:28:31):
if you have Paramount Plus, you do not have to
do pay per view every single fight, even the big, big, big,
big headliners are all part of the subscription, which is massive, massive,

(01:29:16):
and then afterwards you're like, but I love it And
Supreme Court, I'm Kim Davis trending because of the potential
to reco gay marriage, they're going to overturn it. And
I saw a lot of people yesterday freaking out about
marriage equality and whatnot. Asking the Supreme Court to hear
something is not the same as them hearing something. And

(01:29:38):
even at that point, do I think it's going to
be overturned? I don't.

Speaker 34 (01:29:43):
There's a renewed effort by activists in this space to
try to get the attention of the Supreme Court, and
a lot of them pointing to comments by Justice Clarence Thomas,
who after the Dobbs decision, he said in his opinion
that he thinks it's time to take a look again
at marriage rights.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
So anything can happen.

Speaker 34 (01:29:59):
It's on the table, but most legal experts think that
the chances are less likely than not.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Do you really think that that's true.

Speaker 34 (01:30:07):
Well, a lot of the legal experts I've talked to
say there's no chance the Supreme Court will want to
wait into this.

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
But you know the climate that we're in right now,
anything can happen.

Speaker 34 (01:30:17):
Certainly, we are in the midst of a campaign against
same sex marriages across the country. At least nine states
so far have either passed legislation seeking to end those
rights or specifically ask the Supreme Court send resolutions to
the Supreme Court asking them to revisit again.

Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
Anything is possible. Do I think it's going to happen.
I don't know. I think it's unlikely, but I never
say never, because every time you say never, you think,
oh yeah, Donald Trump. But just because it gets there
doesn't mean it's going to be overturned. It'll be interesting
to see how this plays itself. Eric going forward. Coming
up next, Mike Lions talk about Russia, Ukraine, the Summit,
as well as Israel and what's going on there that's

(01:30:55):

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
The Chat Benson Show. That time of the week we
turn to the best man in the business when it
comes to our analysis what's going on, militarily retired major
and the best damn military analyst around Mike Lines joins
a program. All right, let's talk, as they're going to
do on Friday, not in Russia but in Alaska. The

(01:31:40):
Pooter and Trump's sitting down and it's time to talk.
I guess serious, And what's your take on this?

Speaker 13 (01:31:47):
Yeah, Chad, I don't see this having a favorable outcome
for Ukraine on any level right now. First of all,
Russia is making significant advances on the ground with their
military in areas that Ukraine had been holding for the
past few months. And so if you're looking at this
formula to negotiate a settlement, there's just not enough leverage

(01:32:08):
on Vladimir Putin to agree to anything to stop because
he's having success on the battlefield. You know, you look
at you go back to like the date in the courts,
I'd say, right, what stopped you know, Bosning and Serbia
from that conflict back in the mid nineties. The whole
thing was about stopping the fighting, right, stopping the shooting
at this point and then figure out the political situation later.
And that seems to be what the Trump answer is here,

(01:32:31):
just you know, kind of stop the fighting and we'll
figure it out later. I just don't see Russia doing
that because they don't have to. They're doing well right now,
and I'm afraid we're setting up the administration as well
as Zelenski for a big fall. I don't think Russia's
agreeing to anything.

Speaker 1 (01:32:46):
You know, we started talking to you before they even invaded,
and you have said from day one, the way this
ends eventually, whether it ends in a week or a
few years from now or whenever, is land for peace. Yeah,
and you know, what started out as could have been
probably a much better negotiation, you know, twenty four plus

(01:33:07):
months ago now is going to be a lot more
land that Zelenski's gonna have to give up.

Speaker 13 (01:33:12):
Yeah, that's right. And you saw Trump make a comment
that his Congress has to approve that. Well, that makes sense.
I mean, his legal body has to prove that it's
almost eighteen to twenty percent of the land mass that
the Russia has controlled since really twenty fourteen, to include
Crimea and that and those areas in the Donbass region
pretty you know, significant part of agriculture for Ukraine, or

(01:33:36):
lose a significant portion of their their coastline on the
Black Seas. So it's a significant loss, there's no question
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:33:45):
That's that kind of Middle Eastern solution too. Land for peace.

Speaker 29 (01:33:48):
Now.

Speaker 13 (01:33:48):
The other side to that, though, is how does that
get finally reinforced. Will will Vladimir Putin agree to have
NATO troops come into Ukraine to defend that border. He
sure won't. So it's one thing. Once they give up
that land, the question is how do they secure it
from there? And Ukraine doesn't have any capability to do
that either.

Speaker 1 (01:34:05):
Talking to my client's military analysts as we take down
you know, really the two big subjects out there Israel
and Russia Ukraine. The we have to give them if
we tell them, look, you're gonna give up you know,
seventeen eighteen percent, you're going to get back a couple
other you know, areas. But there's got to be let's
say he concedes to that, though. The one thing he
can't say, no, don't worry, we'll take care of it ourselves,

(01:34:27):
is he's got to have some backing, whether it be
of NATO, the United States, whoever it is, that we
will have his back if the pooter decides to jump again.

Speaker 13 (01:34:36):
That's the only way he could possibly agree to it,
and which is why the whole you know, NATO has
been a red line for Vladimir Putin from the very
beginning as well.

Speaker 9 (01:34:45):
So those are his, you know, two maximalist demands.

Speaker 13 (01:34:48):
I you know, you look at just the idea though,
of giving up land here in this conflict is something
we haven't seen since when nineteen nineteen nineteen, you know,
world War one, world War two areas in Europe. So
this is definitely you know, an outside the box different,
you know, kind of something we haven't seen in a
while right now. But but again, the security agreement is

(01:35:12):
I had to have to have teeth in order it
for it to be enforced, and I'm not sure again
Putin agrees to that just as well, because he doesn't
really have to.

Speaker 1 (01:35:22):
The sanctions because the original sanctions were kind of hard.
The people that got hurt the most, if you will,
by in Russia, where the oligarchs who got individually sanctioned
more than the nation itself. But if we were to say,
you know what if this is the game you're going
to play. We're going to go after everybody you deal with,
and we're going to bring them to their knees to

(01:35:44):
put a bite on you, because otherwise, I mean, these
sanctions have been pretty toothless.

Speaker 13 (01:35:50):
Right, and they to your point, individually based and now
I think relate to the date, right. I don't think
that any sanctions that are applied right now will have
any short you know, short term impact for sure, and
that's when Ukraine needs them, which is right now. And
putting pressure on India UH is interesting. And you know

(01:36:12):
the fact that China and these other markets that Russia
still sells to is still can make up for a
lot of those sanctions. And so you know, again, I
I just see the President walking into a really bad
situation and I think he's he almost he did kind
of say that yesterday when he made this comment about
I'll be able to tell in the first five seconds

(01:36:33):
or you know, what's going on here. And I think
I think he's basically setting up the art of the
deal to say he's gonna he's going to walk away
because he can't deal with him. That's not going to
get any solution for Ukraine. He could turn around and
put these bigger sanctions on some of these other countries.
But and that's what Ukraine needs, is just the pouring
in of more military equipment. But but they're stuffering significant

(01:36:56):
manpower shortages right now. We could send them five batteries
of Patriot missiles, but they might not have the crews
to man them.

Speaker 1 (01:37:02):
What's your gut say we walk away from this?

Speaker 13 (01:37:04):
It is I think that I think that the president
is looking this as a transaction. Look, we saw him
last week in Armenia and he's going from one victory
to another. He's, you know, he's looking very much Jimmy
Carter like with monocolm Bagan and you know, the handshakes,
and we see all these visuals about all the piece he's.

Speaker 9 (01:37:23):
Trying to make here. This one is just too big.

Speaker 13 (01:37:25):
This is just not I just don't know what leverage
he has over Vladimir Putin or thinks he has over him.
It's just too transactional. So it's it's not getting solved
on Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:37:36):
Do you think how much is Europe going to back
Ukraine because you know they're going to back the hell
at him because the end a choice, because Russia is
in their backyard.

Speaker 13 (01:37:43):
Yeah, they've pivoted. I like what the German chancellor has done.
He's made significant advancements towards helping Ukraine and so. But
but the other European nations continue to just confuse me
in the UK and France and now all of a sudden,
I don't want to pivot into you know, the Middle East.
But you know them just you know, you know, focusing

(01:38:04):
on that situation, that this needs to be one hundred
percent their attention, putting in a lot more military equipment
than they have in the past. Uh, and in particular
the air defense platforms. So you know, NATO, the NATO
community though, is rallying around the president, the NATO leader.

Speaker 9 (01:38:21):
You see that there. So I do think that NATO
as well on board, and Trump now finds the.

Speaker 13 (01:38:26):
Value of NATO, so that that could possibly weigh into
this whole factor.

Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
Talking to my clients military an that's the best damn
military analyst in the business. Uh, let's pivot from there
to the Middle East. Gaza City. You've said from day
one on any of these things we've ever talked about,
it is one thing to fight a war and to
veeed an enemy, it's another thing. To occupy a territory,
and they're whole hogged going in to Gaza City and

(01:38:52):
going to try to do this.

Speaker 9 (01:38:54):
I don't see Israel stopping.

Speaker 13 (01:38:55):
I think they are looking for a traditional surrender, but
Hamas continues to somehow control the population two million people
that sit there. I'm not sure who's exactly that is.
I think Israel's confused by it. They're in a race
against the pr machine right now of the world. If
you watching the UN the other day, and just literally

(01:39:17):
every country in the world is lined up against Israel
right now. You see these European countries now supporting a
two state solution, supporting the Palestinian So now, if you're
a Hamas, why would you negotiate, why would you quit,
why would you do anything? You've got other countries now
supporting you. I don't get that on any level.

Speaker 9 (01:39:33):
This is clearly a good versus evil situation.

Speaker 13 (01:39:37):
Israel standing very much still alone right now, all be
it with the United States, and I think that Trump
has been a much better partner to Israel than any
democratic administration would have been.

Speaker 1 (01:39:50):
I think the issue is, you know, for me, Israel's
every right to defend themselves. Hamas is evil, and we
can all debate whether or not they are the reason
of or a product of what goes on because Israel,
let's be real, Israel and Palestine since nineteen forty eight,
and it has always been the even a bad relationship,
much worse than that. It's the people and the issue

(01:40:12):
is the innocence out there. When you're seeing kids who
are six, seven, eight, who are are dying and starving.
You've got the battle of the you know, this food
bank over this thing. It's that's the problem that people have.
And even the Israeli people are kind of over. They're
exhausted by war. And it's that weird situation where I

(01:40:36):
can look at the Palestinians and I don't think they're
subhuman as some weirdos out there think. But Hamas is
an evil sob and I don't think Israel can be
above reproach in the way that they've handled stuff. It's
where is the where is the common sense of trying
to bring this thing to a close and look for
a solution that will have a future so people won't

(01:40:58):
worry about their They are blowing themselves up.

Speaker 13 (01:41:01):
I think in Bibi's mind and maybe the mind of
some in his cabinet. Now is that if Hamas survives
even one scintilla, one one hundredth of a thousandth of
them of a manner, then this grows back and October
seventh happens again.

Speaker 9 (01:41:17):
And that's where they're at right now.

Speaker 13 (01:41:19):
They're still on a war footing, and they've been on
that war footing since this started. And while you know
that these these ways to stop conflicts by saying, oh,
we just want to stop the shooting, that just helps
the enemy. It helps the other the wrong side. And
if that happened now, that's happened a couple times here
in this conflict in the Middle East, and it's only

(01:41:39):
helped Hamas.

Speaker 9 (01:41:40):
You see.

Speaker 13 (01:41:41):
I mean, look, they control the food, they control all
those ways of maintaining their people. The world you saw
the Egyptians putting more pressure on Hamas right now, but
the world should be very clearly against hamas As not
being the body to run.

Speaker 9 (01:41:56):
The Palestinian state.

Speaker 13 (01:41:58):
But we putting the cart before the horse, because you
can't have a state until you have the leadership, and
we just don't have it there, you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:42:05):
And I look at this, and again I've been on
I'm a supporter of Israel. I'm a Jew. At the
same time, I'm not a supporter of what I think
is going on because I think eventually what you're doing
is you're creating, you know, for every one person you
kill that is a dad or an uncle, a brother,
a grandfather, a mom, you're creating a new level of
disdain without giving people hope. And that is the problem.

(01:42:29):
It's that kind of we're in groundhoul day, except it's
the worst kind of GROUNDHOWK Day?

Speaker 13 (01:42:35):
Yeah, No, I understand. And it's generationally, and it goes
on generationally. And you look at the videos that you know,
the videos that I see that come out in the
news organizations. There's lots of children, lots of women there.
I just don't know where the men are in some
of these videos. And you know, they seem to be
supporting the cause there as well. But again from Israel's perspective,

(01:42:58):
from their survivalists instincts, which is really I think, what
are more at play here? They feel that they have
to do this now at this point, they'll occupy gods
of the IDF. You're right too, there's a lot of
fatigue that's taking place in that military.

Speaker 9 (01:43:13):
Those rotations.

Speaker 13 (01:43:14):
You know, this is hurting the Israeli economy, as a
lot of people recognize.

Speaker 9 (01:43:18):
They're still a very small country.

Speaker 13 (01:43:22):
And at least the pipeline has been shut down from
other Middle Eastern countries supporting the Moss. That's the other
strategic objective Israel. It's accomplished. They've accomplished so much here,
there's no question about that, defeating three of their major
proxy enemies that are coming from the Iranians. Aamas has
belaw that the Huthis. But it's still not enough. They stay.

(01:43:42):
They don't want any scintilla again, like I said before,
left of Hamas or any other threats in that region
and whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (01:43:49):
You know, they've accomplished in theory on paper a lot,
but I think overall they've done more damage to themselves
in a way because not only the world, but even
here in America. I mean, my age, I'm gen X,
I'm fifty four. This younger generation doesn't look at Israel
the same way that the baby boomers and stuff do,
and I think they've lost a bit of luster, not

(01:44:12):
just here but globally.

Speaker 13 (01:44:14):
Yeah, I you know, I don't think people were on
their side to begin with. Su Chat I think they've
never for whatever reason. I'll take it to a different level,
like anti Semitism is just out there.

Speaker 9 (01:44:26):
I don't know why. I can't. You know, the time
I've walked the earth, I don't see it. I've studied history,
look at you, look at the past.

Speaker 13 (01:44:33):
But for whatever reason, the Chosen people have have been
a lightning rod for blame in throughout history for things
that they maybe can or can't control.

Speaker 9 (01:44:44):
So I don't think they never had it.

Speaker 13 (01:44:46):
They didn't have a lot of fans to begin with
when this started, and I think now it's just ingrain generationally.

Speaker 9 (01:44:52):
I don't know how.

Speaker 13 (01:44:52):
I don't know how that society changes, because it's not
just in the Middle East. Look at I think we
see here still in the United States. We saw obviously
what took place after Summitism in's last century in Europe.
You know that might be maybe two of a you know,
of an idealistic answer to you know, kind of say there.
But I don't think Israel has never had anybody on
their side to begin with, so that's why they operate

(01:45:14):
in the matter they do.

Speaker 1 (01:45:15):
