Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chat Benson show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well what a night.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Trump comes out, delivers a speech. Here it is He's
going to unveil his six year long battle to show
the world how it was stolen from him. And when
all was said and done, zero evidence of anything. Zero

(00:41):
lots of well this could happen, Well, this may happen.
Well there's a possibility of this. None of what he
this was close to giving out. This was the which

(01:02):
I thought that would have been hilarious. I mean, what
did we get? You got nothing? The usual Although he
went after China, I said, yesterday I had heard China
was going to be the number one thing. It's all
about the Chinese.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
US by agencies began learning about the compromise of voter
registration files in twenty twenty when they discovered that tens
of millions.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Of voter data.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Think of that, tens of millions of voters data in
eighteen states have been bought, stolen or hacked by China.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Bought being the operative thing we talk about all the time.
Everything is out there, in fact, several states, it's free
for anybody. You have to buy it. China doesn't have
to buy it. There was a lot of well, this,
you know it was. There was not even smoke. There
was a flicker that they were trying to get going,

(01:56):
not even a puff. You don't believe that. This is no,
I don't. And the whole thing too, goes back to
the deep state, because there's the beauty of the deep state.
You could just say, oh, it's all about the deep state.
Who are they? We don't know. That's how deep they are.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Members of the deep state, very very famous group of people,
many cases in our intelligence agency work to actively suppress
and downplay information about the extent of China's sinister election meddling.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Sinister But also in there there was what lots of
stuff about how yes, China preferred Biden and Russia preferred him,
and you'll think, oh, okay, so what is it just
I'm curious about all of this. There was nothing in
there that pointed to the smoking gun was let's be real,

(02:47):
that's what you needed. What it did is it gives
the people who were sold for the cause more to go. Ha,
I knew it. And then there's nothing there. Nobody going
to jail, nobody's getting arrested for something. And I'm not
talking about did somebody somewhere steal somebody's data and sell

(03:12):
it to somebody that they weren't supposed to because they
didn't have a data broker license or whatever. No, we're
talking about like the whole thought of we're going to
see all these Dems and they're going to be arrested
and look at some of this stuff. It is selective
in what they put together and released, so much of

(03:32):
it in certain areas is completely redacted. And now it's
time to say enough is enough. All right, it's time
to move on. But Chad, what about all of those
people that are here illegally? They're on voter rolls.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Finally, to reveal just how vulnerable elections continue to be,
we are releasing the results of a stunning investigation by
the Department of Homeland Security. According to the DHS review
state voter rows and public records, they identified approximately two
hundred and seventy eight thousand non citizens who are registered

(04:07):
to vote in federal elections. Since Democrat states refused to
share their voter files, the real number is actually much
higher than that.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Is it because people are looking and they don't see it? Oh, Chad,
you don't even know get part of the deep state.
It's so high, prove it, prove it, prove where it is.
In fact, some of the stuff they released last night
shows two hundred and seventy eight. No, it shows ten thousand.
Doesn't mean they voted. It just shows ten thousand. Look,

(04:41):
one is too many. We can all agree on that.
But the thought process that there is hundreds and thousands
and millions of people it is, you know, don't waste
your Time's that's what i'd say. We watched it when
we talk to Jim Kennedy coming up here in a
little bit last night, So you guys don't have to

(05:03):
You're welcome. And the reality is, I'm totally open if
you bring me something that's real. But if you believe
that it was stolen in twenty twenty, you're probably not
changing your mind. Okay. If you were on the fence
about it, this didn't push you over to it was stolen,

(05:25):
probably pushed you the other way. And if he didn't
believe it, you didn't believe it and you still don't.
And I want to remind everybody of this who was
president during this time that they're talking about. He was
just want to point that out. Three two, three, five,
three eight twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show.

(05:45):
Is your ex your insta love hearing from all of you.
Let me know how you're feeling about all of this.
Do you buy it? Just curious And remember one of
the things last night, not one point in any of
what he said last night, was one vote changed at all,

(06:08):
Not in one specific thing where he said, look over here.
We found that they changed the vote here. But Chad,
they interfered with our stuff. Get over it this point.
We always need to work on making it more secure,
over and over again. But the reality is it wasn't stolen.

(06:31):
It's time to move on. Two things didn't matter that
affect us on a daily basis, like the war in Iran.
Why because gas prices going up.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Gas prices are now at their highest level in a month.
The national average for a gallon of regular gas this
morning is closing in on four dollars at three p
ninety seven. Diesel did just surpass that five dollar mark,
and that means higher transport costs per trucks, trains, and tractors.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
So it's getting hot. We bombed airport this morning, We've
bombed bridges. It is starting to definitely heat up. And
as people are saying the worst case scenario. Feels like
it's getting closer and closer. We talked about it yesterday,
the escalation trap, and it's feeling more and more like

(07:17):
this thing is about to heat up in a major way,
which is unfortunate for all of us, because I continue
to say, this should never be in this situation at all.
We shouldn't. The fact that we are is frustrating as hell,
Absolutely frustrating as hell. And when you think about Trump

(07:40):
talking about all the foreign interference in the elections, in
the foreign think about one nation that has such a
massive influence on us that we're currently fighting a war
because of that influence. I just want to point that
out to you guys right there. Chatter you talk, yes
I'm talking about is real because you're anti Semitic. No,

(08:03):
because I'm looking at the situation. I'm looking at the
situation and saying, hmmm, that feels a little uncomfortable right
right there when you think about it. I mean, they
would never try to influence our elections with the olweight
they have in more ways than I think people realize.

(08:24):
And now we're in the midst of a situation that
we shouldn't be in. That feels like it's going to escalate.
That doesn't need to happen, and we're going to do
what now We're going to pay the price at the pump.

(08:45):
And because we're going to pay the price at the pump,
we're going to pay the price at the store and
everywhere else. So freaking frustrating, I mean so frustrating. It's
time to move on to something good. Okay, because I
need a good It's time that's talk. Come how about

(09:10):
that or prera?

Speaker 6 (09:15):
What are the rights sharia right across to.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Toll them?

Speaker 7 (09:22):
Antil should win the World Cup for Argentina with this kick.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yes, it is it. It is the last weekend of
the World Cup. It's been amazing. It's been incredible. Throughout
the show, we're gonna be breaking down some of the
big things that we have, you know seen the numbers
just absolutely awesome. But there are games to be played,
so tomorrow you have the third place game, and third

(09:50):
place game is gonna be very interesting to watch. Normally
they're rather because both teams are bombs still that they
didn't get into the final. But I think these two
teams are gonna I don't think England wants to go
out that way and France's players on the bench, who
many people say if France would have played in the

(10:11):
World Cup, they would have been the second team, would
have had a chance to get to the quarters or semis.
I think they've got some stuff to prove, as well
as the likes of Killing and Bompe. You know, you
often wonder will their big stars play in something like this. Yeah,
I think they will because Killing and Bape wants to
win the Golden Boot, which is the most goals, and
you know, I think he's gonna go out and play,

(10:34):
so this will be interesting. But then of course you've
got the final on Sunday, and I'm excited you got
Argentina against Spain. There is a famous picture out there.
It was taken, well, what about nineteen years ago. At

(10:54):
the time, there was this guy named Lionel Messi, he
was twenty, just become a starter for Barcelona, and a
baby name le Minha Mal who was only five months
old at the time, and it's a famous picture that
they took. They didn't know Lamina Mal was five months old.

(11:15):
Nobody knew what he was going to become. But it
is hilarious to think that that's where we are now
those two coming together. I'm going to give you my
breakdown of the game next hour what I think is
going to happen, and give you who I think is
going to win it. But there's no doubt that this
is going to be huge. Expected viewership for the final

(11:35):
this weekend is expected to get over one point six
five billion people. That's massive, absolutely massive. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at she had
menton show sure x install all the other things, a
lot of stuff to get to a little Finally, Friday

Speaker 1 (13:08):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right, everybody buckle in because it's been one of
those weeks and we better take a listen back to
remember everything that happened this week because there's been so much. Finally,
it's Friday.

Speaker 9 (13:22):
My brother was the most amazing person, outstanding leader, and
just a genuinely good man.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Senator Graham deeply loved his country.

Speaker 10 (13:34):
He was a bold leader.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
He would like a member of the family.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Think it's very tough.

Speaker 11 (13:38):
Actually I'm not one hundred dollars walking in my beautiful
I know how I said. Anybody's burning a hold, I
do my fugging in and do my skim I'm on
the morning, I'll be brown.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
It's fine.

Speaker 10 (13:55):
Friday, I'm fredag on my motorman.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's fine. I don't think I've ever experienced stunning cramps
like that before. Despite that extensive effort, we have been
unsuccessful in locating any survivors.

Speaker 12 (14:16):
Yeah, we have a much harder workout boat smoke. It's
harder to breathe, so we don't want our heart rates
climbing up too high on the day. That's not supposed
to be too hard.

Speaker 10 (14:25):
It's fine, fire scar, it's fine.

Speaker 13 (14:40):
And to meet that commitment today, I'm authorizing a new
screening program for testosterone deficiency.

Speaker 14 (14:45):
Over half of all ICE field offices now do have
body cameras, and the remainder of the field offices are
expected within sixty days.

Speaker 2 (14:57):

Speaker 6 (15:03):
Wendy had a thirty hours slowly Kennedy by.

Speaker 15 (15:15):
Running again.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
It's time trouble forget.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
You have to trust your country, because if there can
be no trust, there can be no greatness. And that's
very simple no trust, no great this addressing this crisis
of election security.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
What a crazy week. And you know what, as always,
we did it all together right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Messy and Gona tave off. You don't love
it it job, We're out. It's the worst decision ever.

Speaker 10 (15:58):
It's a sycomore. Don't it say you.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Don't want it? In a naughty second minute, sucked him now,
embarrassing crown. Yes, yes you are out, no doubt about that.
One of the things we didn't put in there for
all that chaos and craziness is the fact that Trump's
teleprompter guy apparently was betting on his speeches from Calshi
and made some money about one hundred ges give or take.

(16:22):
And people are going, wait, what what.

Speaker 10 (16:24):
Did he do?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Calshi?

Speaker 16 (16:25):
The market noticed that there were some suspicious trades, and
what they do when that happens is that they refer
them over to their regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
for further investigation. And that's what happened here. And what's
interesting here on the timeline is we report that he
betted on more than a dozen speeches over a three

(16:47):
month period, and the bets ended in March.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
So a dozen speeches over three months. The question is
we're trying to figure out yes day, what was he
betting on. Seems like he's been on words.

Speaker 16 (17:00):
If he noticed, allegedly, if you noticed that a word
Trump had skipped over, Trump had skipped over a word,
he skipped over a section, maybe he wasn't going to
say that word. At least according to what investigators found.
They believe that then he would opt out of that trade.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm going to say it. I think it's bs. This
is what I'm going to say. I find it hard
to believe that Trump and the administration, those guys, and
that Nancy Pelosis world can make hundreds of millions and
billions of dollars off what seems to be insider trading,
and this guy's in trouble for one hundred grand. Just
putting it out there, let me know what you think.
Coming up, our good buddy, Jim Kennedy with the Kennedy

(17:35):
Institute of Public Policy Research, joins a program Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Show, then Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
That time of the week. We talked to our good budy,
Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. All right,
Jim last night's speech man, did we learn anything? No,
we didn't learn anything new.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
What do you think it was a nothing burger. I'm disappointed.
I really wanted there to be something there, and in
the end, you know, you went through some of the documents.
I went through the documents. We ran through. AI didn't
find anything that really was a smoking gun or really
much of anything other than yeah, there's a firm possibility
that maybe our systems could be vulnerable, and not really

(18:32):
any evidence that they actually did anything to influence the elections.
And they throw a lot of stuff out there, but
if you look at it in the context of what
really happened and what did or didn't happen, they don't
have any real solid proof that, you know, well, this
machine in this location was compromised and these twenty seven
hundred votes were changed. They don't have anything like that.

(18:53):
They got the firm possibility that maybe something could have
happened if they tried really hard.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, I tried really hard, and there was a lot
of oh, look what they did or they could have done.
None of that. I mean, at the end of the day,
for six years now, plus this has been going on
with Trump, you know, always worried about this. He's you know,
I mean this is he talks about it all the
time and it was stolen or was this and we

(19:19):
need to do all these things. And yet this was
your big speech and the believers you were always going
to get them. Everybody else just laughed latin that last
night and said, there's nothing here. We have bigger issues
like Iran and stuff like that, and lo and behold,
you're doing a prime time speech about something that ninety

(19:43):
percent of the stuff was already out there in the open.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, and exactly. I mean it's like, you know, they
you know, they had hundreds of hours of people going
over the documents. They've been declassifying them, it looks like
for months and putting the analysis and redact to them
because a lot of the documents are a lot of
black lines. They're not a lot of influence some of
some of them are not I mean, some of them
aren't that bad. But in the end, it's like, what
did they you know, the people that were working on this, going, well,

(20:08):
what do we really have here? Because I don't really
see where they really have anything that is you know,
real smoking guns, concrete evidence. I mean, like you know,
you talked about nobody's going to jail for this. I
don't think no one. I don't think anyone even be
indicted for this, probably because there just isn't that much
evidence there to where it even it reaches that level
of being law breaking that you could actually go prove

(20:29):
in a court of law. So maybe I'm wrong, but
I don't suspect there's gonna be anybody charge from this.
I don't think they'll be rounding up one hundred people
and getting grand jury indictments against them. So it was basically,
you know, there was just nothing there. And again a
fortunate Trump goes out and makes a big, big deal
about something and doesn't really deliver the proof that would

(20:50):
you know, that would get them a lot of I mean,
they would get them a lot of popularity. Going again again,
that would that that would get them some credit for
doing something good. But in the end people kind of going, well,
what was that all about? And why did I wait
thirty minutes watching that and another hour feeding all the
documents through AI.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, so that was, uh, well it is what it is.
And and and remember, uh, Jim, I don't know, if
you're aware of this, we're hot, We've never been hot,
or we're the hottest of the hottest. Oh my lord, whatever, man,
prescription prices are so cheap. Yeah, that was we could
we can play the fact check game all day. So
much of that was again it's I know he has
a lot of hyperbole. I know he throws stuff out

(21:29):
there and anyway, but it's just it's the same thing.
It's like watching the same the comic was great once,
but he hasn't changed his act. And I and I
think a lot of people are getting fatigue.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah, and we've talked about Trump fatigue before and yeah,
I mean it's just you get tired of it after
you know, we're again, we're going we're into our eleventh year,
you know, soon to be going into the twelve year
of this. And I've talked about lots of administrations. People
were tired of George W. Bush after eight years. They're
tired of Clinton after eight years, they were tired to Reagan. HW.
Bush managed to get through a second term and then

(22:04):
he was defeated by Clinton. So yeah, I mean, generally,
we don't you know, we like our politicians, well only
like them for a limited period of time where they're
basically get past their sell by date and we move
on and we want to make a change or other
people come up. And you know, that's one of the
great things about it. We have a peaceful transition of government.
And frequently it's a transition from one party to another.

(22:25):
It's not necessarily where one party rules for decades at
a time. It just doesn't happen to me. Happened in
the in the legislative chambers, but certainly not in the
executive chair and the executive branch. And yeah, Trump is
getting to the point where he's by his cell by
date and people and again you can see that with
what we talk about on the midterms on basically the
lack of the lack of interest in a lot of

(22:47):
their stuff that in picking poor candidates. So yeah, it's
just Trump's getting close to a cell by date. And
there was just not a lot there tonight that would
make you think, oh, okay, yeah, this guy's really got
some good new idea. No, now, this is the same
stuff that's been trotted out before or maybe repackaged with
you know, a lot of reactions and a bunch of
fancy you know, right, across the top about declassification, But

(23:07):
there wasn't a lot of stuff out there, at least
that you know that I've seen so far that again
is going to get anybody in trouble or anybody even
indicted for anything.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
all right, Jim, let's move from there to the fact
that we're still doing something in Iran today. And over
the last couple days I've been talking about you know,
Professor Pape from the University of Chicago in Illinois, who
is who has put together the escalation trap, and he

(23:36):
has pointed out that we're now in a position where
we may not have any other choice but to escalate
because we have given them essentially the strait of horror
moves if we don't, which is twenty percent of the
world's oil, and now made them a big dog. So
that's not a good place to be.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
No, And he's got a factor in which I don't
think he did into the the general analysis of it
of somebody who is like Trump and with an ego
and does not want it. Basically everything he does is
he measures it a personally up against Obama, and there
is no way that he's going to be able to
step away from this until he gets a better deal
than Obama. And right now he doesn't have a better
deal than Obama. And we've spent fifty seventy billion dollars

(24:19):
in armaments that'll take us two to three years to
replenish in many cases, to get us back to the
levels we were at in January of this year at
a critical time when China could be moving something in
the on Taiwan or other areas. So it's not a
good time to be short of cruise missiles and armaments
like that. So, yeah, you have to worry about what

(24:40):
Trump will do because he is upset and mad and
feels like he's been embarrassed by this, and bombing Iran
back into the stone age we've seen does not work.
I don't I mean, I think he's I mean, unfortunately,
I think he's going to try to. I think he'll
wind up chickening out in the end because I don't
think you want to put boots on the ground. I
don't think he really wants the risk one hundred because

(25:01):
that would really be a presidential legacy changing thing if
they put one hundred thousand troops on the ground because
it could go very badly regardless cause of remember, this
wasn't a popular war by anybody in his administration.

Speaker 17 (25:13):
JD.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Vance was on Rogan saying he didn't think it was
a good idea. Where you know, it pretty much seems
like that Telsea Gabbert left because of her strong disagreement
over going into Iran. So he didn't have support of
anybody who was on his inner circle or his military
leadership team, and he went ahead and did it anyway.
And now he's stuck. He's not, luckily, he's not stuck

(25:34):
with a quagmire where a lot of lives are being
lost on a daily basis, but he's stuck in a
political quagmire. And as I keep saying, he got it,
he's got to get this done by Labor Day at
the latest or this is going to really start dragging
into the midterms. And with the I know prices went
down recently, but that's because the straight open back up.
Now that it's closing again, oil prices are going to
going back up, and oil prices get you everywhere down

(25:57):
the supply chain for price increases and a SFT starts
going up in September in October. People are going to
remember it a couple weeks later in November, and they're
not going to be voting for Republicans as the people
who made their stuff more expensive, from gasoline to cars,
to groceries, to insurance to whatever.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
all right, Jim, let's get down to some real serious stuff.
We have the World Cup Final this weekend. The World
Cup's been massive, I mean, let's I mean, let's just
the biggest event we've ever hosted sporting event on the planet,
and this is the biggest one that anybody's ever hosted,
and we've done an amazing job. We have Spain, we

(26:38):
have Argentina. We've got Messy, we have le Mean Yamol
who you got well.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
I think it would be a good storybook ending for
Messi to go possibly out in his last World Cup
with a victory and maybe scoring the winning goal. If
you really wanted to write a really hollywood ish ending,
I think that would probably be good. Though Spain has
proven to be a very solid team, They're not a
team with a lot of weaknesses. They're not flashy, they're
not really exciting, but in the end they just wind

(27:08):
up on the winning side of it. So I would
say Argentina would would certainly be the storybook, but I
would I would not be surprised to find out that
Spain wins as a solid defensive team that has gotten
the job done and manage to find a way to
shut down MESSI rigginis you know?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
So you get that's what we're talking about, right that
the storybook ning. It's It's crazy. We got to ask
Jim these questions because people want to know Jim. People
want to what the freaking does he think about? Jim Kennedy.
All right, Jim, Uh, where's this weekend? We do have
something else going on, which is the race cast.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yes we do. We have firm Roun this week and
we also have the British opening going on one of
the last the last majors in golf, but firm than
one in Spa. One of the best tracks on the circuit,
one of the fastest tracks, one of the closest tracks
to an actual track that used to exist forty years ago,
when you had haydalees and no safety measures in cars

(28:05):
and you had trees that were four feet off the track.
Somebody would say the good old days for safety components,
not the good old days. But we're a spall francoshof
this weekend. Great track, majestic, longest track on the thing.
It feels one of the few tracks it feels like
you actually go somewhere. Is you go through the Arden
forest near where the Battle of the Bulge was in

(28:25):
World War two. Problem is that it is a speed
track and the cars with the whole problem right now
explain to everybody what a speed track is. Basically, I
mean it's going to be one of the faster laps
of the year. It is a power track. It basically
engine power rules more so than a car that handles well.
A car that handles well will do better in Monaco

(28:46):
lots of turns, not a lot of straits, not a
lot of area to basically run full throtto. Spa in
a track will be coming up in about a month.
Monza in Italy are power tracks. Those are ones where
the amount of power you can produce you can basically
increase speed. And yes there are some handling components to it,
but basically it's the amount of power and because of

(29:06):
the limitations on the power with the cars that are
set up now the fifty to fifty is split between
internal combustion engines and battery. Is they're going to deploy that,
They're going to deplete the battery power very quickly in SPA,
and the cars just will not go nearly as quick
as they would Now it's not going to be necessarily
that noticeable, and they're not going to have the problems

(29:28):
they had in Japan where they had the cars that
would rapidly decelerate while they were trying to regenerate electrical
power through the through the braking systems and through the engines,
re redeploying energy into the batteries. Because they've cut some
of that down now, so they've effectively reduced a total
amount of power involved or energy involved. So it will

(29:50):
mean it's safer race, but it will be a race
that will be they will probably not come that close,
probably be I'm going to guess two to three seconds
off of the times from last year because of the
new deploy Now they're working on that for twenty seven.
They're going to get more engine power in there and
less reliance on the battery because they've seen what happens
when you have more of the reliance on the battery,

(30:10):
but it'll still be an interesting race. I would still
look for the teams like Mercedes. Maybe a good week
for Verstappin and the Red Bull cars because they are
deemed to have the best Their internal combustion engine has
been deemed to put out the most power, so they
might be able to be strong there. But Mercedes, and
the only thing with Mercedes is the reliability because they've

(30:31):
had both drivers have their cars just stop on the
track during the year due to energy management problems where
the system to shut down, so and they haven't really
figured that out yet. They're beginning to look into it though,
and so I would say that McLaren might be up there.
So those are the kind of teams Ferrari of course,
because Ferrari's got opportunities there for their car and the

(30:53):
way they're set up for it, So it'll be it'll
be a good race. It should be a fairly close
race depending on how it breaks down. But it is
one of the better tracks. It's one of the races
if you're only going to watch a couple a year,
you've got to watch Spa because it really is historic
and it's a beautiful track and it can have ever
changing rain or ever changing weather conditions because it's the

(31:14):
first group of mountains after you come off of the
North Sea, so all of a sudden you get these
pop up rainstorms. And there also will have areas that
where it's not raining around them, but stuff will rain
there because there's a lot of elevation change in the track. Also,
it's a very cool race. You should watch it if
you can, and you know, but you know, just pay
attention to the fact that the cars will probably not

(31:35):
be as quick as they were last year if you'd
watched last year.

Speaker 18 (31:38):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy, it's the Tata pop blick,
policy research, pop culture politics.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
We do it all kids, because that's who we are. Gim,
you'll be back with us on Monday, midterm Mondays. You
have a great weekend. We'll do it on Monday.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Thanks. Ched.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
So last night you saw Trump big speech. What are
you talking about? China had personal data of all these people.
How did they get it? Did they have no chance
or have they bought it? That's right, Your information, my information,
everybody's information is just out there floating around. Data brokers
have it and starting for as low as seven dollars
a month. You can protect your privacy and your data
within Cogny. In Cogni goes and gets all those data

(32:13):
brokers to get you off their lists so they can't
sell all of your information information like your voting registration, information,
like your medicine. You take everything, you name it, they've
got it all. You want to stop that. In Cogny's
going to do it for you. Four hundred and twelve.
Now four hundred and twelve data brokers have had to
get me off their list and they squash anything else

(32:35):
they see out there. It works, They're amazing. How do
you start? You go to in Cogni dot com slash Benson,
I n Cogni dot com slash Benson. You're gonna save

Where we reach across the aisle and occasionally poke someone
in the eye.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
This weekend, The Honesty opens in theaters. The poem is
it woke? It's a movie Christopher Nolan's best rated movie
ever on Rotten Tomatoes on everything, But is it woke?
According to who? Some out there right who wanted to

(33:44):
fail because it's Hollywood. It's Hollywood, so they wanted to fail.
Do I think it's woke? It's a movie.

Speaker 20 (33:51):
It is.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Well, they cast somebody in this thing that I don't
like and they're subverting over here and there. It's a movie.
Go see it, don't go see it. Well, it's going
to fail. It's not going to fail. It is not
going to fail. It is going to be quite profitable
by all the metrics that we've looked at in the past,

(34:13):
which kind of is a good way to look at
things in the future. I mean, it's not perfect, but
it's better than nothing. It is going to actually do
pretty darn good. Christopher Nolan's a great director, you know, Oppenheimer, Batman, Memento,
all those things. I just it's everybody wants it to

(34:35):
fail on the right so they could go see nobody
likes this. And one of the things that makes me
laugh is again is everybody's trying to own everybody. They're like, well,
did you see who they cast as Helen of Troy?
I'm like, who, Leapita Nwongo? She's a great actress. I mean,
is it? Well? She doesn't look like it in what

(34:56):
like all the other movies? No, let me tell you
about this. You have many Greek people are in this?
Anybody want to guess? None? None for the most part.
I see none. So they're acting. Get over it. It's
a movie. Go see it, don't go see it? Just

(35:17):
so ridiculous everybody fights over it. We're gonna fight over
a movie because I think it's woke. Yet some movies
have been woke and wacky and they fail. Other movies
people are looking for woke and wacky because they want
them to fail, which again is ridiculous. What do you think?
Let me know? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex,
insta everything else?

Speaker 20 (35:36):
Love?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Hear from all of you right here in the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up, hour number two of the program.
A lot of stuff still to get to this World
Cup talk, including our failures at this World Cup. Does
it say more about youth sports than it does about
what happens when they become adults. I think that's a
fair thing to talk about. Top of that, speaking of

(35:57):
the World Cup, the wildfires throughout Canada. Could that put
the final in jeopardy? We will discuss that as well
a bunch of other stuff, including Iran more on last
night's blockbuster Well it wasn't really a blockbuster speech nothing
we really didn't know. Talk a bit about that as well,
got to urban word of the day, and a whole

(36:17):
bunch of other things. If you missed any show, grab
the podcast our number two straight at This is the
Chat Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Last night, Trump gave a big speech and we'll get
to what was vast majority of the speech in a bit,
But he started out with what he needs to start
out with, which is what every American cares about, which

(37:14):
is the cost of life.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
This week it was announced that inflation saw the largest
monthly decline in more than six years.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Oh that's great, now that's all gone. Just let you
guys know that's that oil is jump jumping because we
have now gotten in deeper. When it comes to Iran.
We have shelled a bunch of their stuff. Today they
have fired back at our allies in the region. And

(37:47):
I just have a sense this thing's going to get
way uglier. Currently, you're seeing prices rise, diesel prices are rising,
and you know, I mean, that is what the average
person cares about. You read litigating two thousand and twenty
election stuff, and nobody cares outside of the people that

(38:09):
live and breathe Maga, who feel that this is the
most important thing. But they're not stealing our elections Nowhere.
Last night did he said they were stealing our elections
at no, nowhere. They tried to influence our elections. Look,
I can tell you who influences our elections, and I
can tell you that maybe in the past we have

(38:33):
influenced some other people's elections. No, Chad, you hate No,
I don't. I love America, but I don't like BS.
So all of this is going on, We're still trying
to figure out what's going on in Iran. Are getting
close to a deal? Are you not getting close to
the deal? Is the escalation trap happening? Are we starting
to get deeper and deeper? Our price is going to rise?

(38:54):
Are we back at it again.

Speaker 17 (38:55):
Yeah, I mean, can they harass a little bit, certainly,
but we can take down all all of their means
and all of their ability to control it. And it
just takes some time to deal with this. And it's
a comprehensive plan, to be sure. Let's complete the plan. Now,
we're going to have what are the Iranians doing?

Speaker 10 (39:15):
Now?

Speaker 17 (39:15):
They're doing what they did once before, the stop us
on April the eighth, and that is we're willing to
make a deal and they what do they want to
do us to do? They just want us to stop
what they're doing. We're taking their number one strategic asset
away from them, and they're going to talk about making
a deal.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Okay, they're not going to make a deal, not like this.
They're not. They don't want to make a deal under pressure,
just like we want to make a deal under pressure.
And they feel that they can hold on long enough.
What does that mean to you and I that's what
I care about. It means that there's a chance we
could see boots on the ground, which god I hope
we don't. There's also a very good chance we're going
to see prices rise and we're going to feel it

(39:56):
in a way that is you know, over the last
couple of months has been uncomfortable, heading towards really uncomfortable
for some people, but about to get really ugly, and
I don't want that.

Speaker 17 (40:09):
And let's get something straight for the American people. There
is a fiction created by the Iranians that there's a
diplomatic side to the Iranians that are moderates, that they
really want to make a deal, and then there's these
hardliners the IRGC and others who don't want to make
a deal, and these diplomatic guys have got to work
with them and help us work with them. Americans, you

(40:32):
got to understand the challenges that we're placing.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
That is all fiction.

Speaker 17 (40:37):
Created by them to play us, and we've got to
wake up to the facts that are really in front
of us. And the evidence speaks louder than their words.
They broke the MoU within days of their presidents signing it.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Yes, that's a.

Speaker 17 (40:54):
Reality because what I said, this is their center of gravity,
this is their strategy asset.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
We should not fall prey.

Speaker 17 (41:03):
It is recent and now diplomatic overture to make a
deal again. They just want to stop us from taking
this strategic asset away from home.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
We got to get on with doing it right. There
was General Jack Keane, who loves a war. Yeah, you
know what, they overreached in the way that they reacted.
There was no doubt. But if you're because when you
listen to that, you hear that, you think all he's
saying is we can't we can't negotiate at all with them.
So what exactly does it mean if there's no negotiation

(41:36):
at all with them that we think we can get done.
That leaves me to believe that the only thing we
need to do then is what go in hardcore boots
on the ground eviscerate them. I heard a couple of
people yesterday talking about we need to turn them into
a parking lot on Fox News and they were laughing yeah,
And I'm thinking to myself, Yeah, so that's what you're

(41:58):
going to do. You want to kill ten of thousands,
hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people because that's going
to endear us to the world. Just insane. There are
real issues out there. And then last night, what do
you have? You have Trump? And Trump came out there
to once again relitigate twenty twenty again and so enough

(42:22):
of a maybe without any smoking gun. Again, we learned
nothing new. Nothing new, Well, Chad, in one of the
president's daily briefings, there was a thing where they said
they massaged it. Okay, well, what did they massage the information?
Because they didn't want to put stuff out there? Did

(42:43):
you read the whole thing? I kind of went and did.
And by the way, I was up late last night
working on a lot of this stuff. There was no
smoking gun, but they tried to influence. Of course they did.
They've got our data, yeah they do. You know what,
you can buy the data. You have to hack it,
you can buy it. It's that simple. You guys buy

(43:05):
the data. A lot of that data you can even
get for free. Oh So, all that being said, we're
sitting here right now and China tried to do this
and then did they change anything? Well, what do you mean,

(43:26):
did they go and change any of the votes? Well, no,
they just tried to influence, So they didn't change any
of the votes. Do you have tens of thousands and
hundreds of thousands illegal vote? Yeah, that's what we got them.
So did they vote? Well, I mean we don't know
really how many there are. There could be millions, could

(43:47):
there be or is there. You're relitigating something that the
average person right now they're not paying attention to because
they're trying to live their life. They're trying to pay
their bills. And we're talking about elections, not this election

(44:11):
coming up. Look, every single election. We need to do
everything we can to make it safer, more secure. We
need a Monday morning quarterback, just like the actual NFL
players do, where they come on in and they go
over tape, we find out what we did right, what
we could do better, and if anything happened, and we

(44:35):
go from there. But they tried to influence, Yes they did,
and we do the same thing to them. We absolutely
do the same thing to them. Who are them? I
don't know. Let's just run over a few, shall we.

(44:55):
Political scientists Don Levin Okay says a d one American
interventions in foreign elections between nineteen forty six and two thousand.
That's it, including Italy, Iran, Guatemala, Chile, Chile again, Russia, Israel.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
We can go on and on.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Some of them were very open and others much more
of a spiish nature. This is what all countries do,
and I would be very upset if our country isn't
trying to influence in other nations like China and elsewhere,

(45:43):
to try to subvert the rise of crazy communism and say,
look at capitals and freedom stuff. I would be surprised
and actually quite frankly, not very happy if we weren't
pushing back in some all nations. But Chad, there was

(46:06):
no smoking gun. There wasn't the receipt that said, look
at what happened here. They changed all of these votes. Hell,
in some of the cases in the files, there was
oh yeah, China tried to for sure, for sure help Biden.

(46:30):
They wanted Biden more. But then above it it says, oh,
and Russia definitely wanted Trump to win. Really okay, So,
and I remind everybody two thousy twenty, let's go over
this again. Who was the president of the United States
of America at that time? Who was It.

Speaker 20 (46:54):
Was?

Speaker 2 (46:54):
Donald Trump? Yeah, but that's just it. It's the deep
stage had the deep state? Who's the deep state? But
we don't know they're so deep? Okay, So what you're
telling me is there are people that are so deep
that even our government can't get to them. Yeah, well,

(47:14):
that is the perfect boogeyman that can never be caught,
but always can get a blame. Okay, it's very interesting.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Now we.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
This just has to stop. This was all about trying
to get the Save Act across the line, which isn't
going to happen. It isn't. So no matter what kind
of pressure you put on your politician or whatever, as
Trump said last night, go out there save act. That
That's what this was all about, to relead a gate
and to try to There was nothing. For all of

(47:50):
the talk, all the bluss, for all the stuff, all
the there was nothing here. And so there you go.
Gave it to you straight. I don't mince, I don't
pull punches. The reality is there's nothing there. And if

(48:12):
you hat thought Trump was cheated in twenty twenty, you
probably still think that. If you think it was BS
in twenty twenty, you think that even more now. And
if you were on the fence not quite sure, open
as I was, this just let's be done with this

(48:35):
and move on. You can't move forward if you're always
looking backwards. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chadventson Show, is your extra instat
coming up nature, doing nature things that we know where
the parasite has come from It looks like you know,
the explosive Diary one. Really Factor is incredible. I take
it every single day. Helps me with my body aches

(48:56):
and pains, my joints, my muscles. It is awesome if
you're sick and tired of those aches and pains. Right Like,
you work at a job where you love what you do,
but it's a little physical and as you get older,
you're just getting harder and harder. Relief Factor is going
to get you over the home. It works naturally formulated,
third party tested for purity and potency, and you're going

(49:17):
to feel a difference almost immediately. It doesn't mask the pain.
It fights inflammation from the inside out. So I want
you to try three week quick start. It's just seventeen

Speaker 1 (49:48):

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Nature Doing Nature Things. We start first in Texas. Yes,
that's right, flooding happening in Texas in the hill country.

Speaker 21 (50:00):
Walls of water inundating Hill Country Surge and rescue teams
in Kerville, polling families from attics and windows in the
dead of night. Richard Shelton's eleven year old daughter woke
him up at two am.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
The door broke open and more water came rushing in,
and so we went to the attic. I was scared
the house was going to break apart, and I didn't
know what would happen after that.

Speaker 21 (50:20):
At least two people were killed when they were swept
away by floods, a woman in her car and a
man in his RV.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
More than two hundred plus rescues have happened. And remember
we go back a year. The sirens there weren't any,
and the tragedy happened this year.

Speaker 22 (50:37):
When the floodwaters came on July fourth, twenty twenty five,
audible sirens were few and far between. A year later,
dozens of warning devices have been funded and installed. In
this first real world test.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
There was a triggering of the siren that did not
go off immediately.

Speaker 22 (50:53):
Governor Greg Gabbott says the siren was flipped on a
few minutes later and did go off.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
For all practical purposes, the functionality of the sirens weren't
just fine.

Speaker 22 (51:01):
Still, hundreds of people had to be rescued this week
from high water.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
So you've got that. And again nature it comes, it
does its thing, and you want to work around it
because you're as we've seen, it does whatever it wants
to do, and it shows you sirens they can work.
Thank god for that. You move from there to up

(51:27):
north across the border and what do you have fires?
Copious amounts of fires in Canada.

Speaker 17 (51:34):
Yeah, it's appearing at the windshields.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
I've never seen it.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Stick to the windshield like this.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
That is a pilot who was talking about the fact
that as he's flying, the ash and smoke are hitting
the windshield and sticking.

Speaker 23 (51:48):
Smoke from the Midwest into the mid Atlantic today, some
improvement in the Northeast. Our friend moves from the Great
Lakes into the Northeast. That's going to knock down the
smoke as we go into the weekend. But still heavy
smoke today from the Midwest into the mid Atlantic. We
get a break in the Northeast where the smoke comes
back on Saturday, finally erasing it on Sunday with some showers.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Thank goodness for that, because there is a thought that
if it's too bad, is it blankets parts of the
Northeast that may have to move the World Cup game?
And I don't want to do that. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
That is your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and all
the other things. I love hearing from all of you
right here on the Chad Benson Show. And if you

(52:29):
want to know how nasty it is out there, let's
just say the amount of fires that are burning in
Canada are insane active wildfires eight hundred and thirty five
to eight point fifty. Out of that, over one hundred
and ten are out of control, burning about five million acres. Crazy,

(52:50):
absolutely crazy from there too south of the border, if
you will, but not really but kind of Yokito Taco Bell,
we know now about the outbreak of the explosive diarrhea.

Speaker 24 (53:02):
Sour's familiar with the investigation says the outbreak of the
severe stomach bugs spreading across the country has now been
linked to shred and iceberg. Lettuce served at Taco Bell
locations in five states, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Oh Man gotta live in West Virginia and you got
the front I'm kidding, settled down. So the company Taylor Farms,
they produce massive amounts of lettuce and a lot of
other stuff. But the administration in the FDA has identified
a single supplier of the iceberg lettuce from Mexico and

(53:40):
its tailor farms. They're headquartered in Salinas, California, and they
are linked to several major chains across the country as
well as grocery stores. And so the best thing you
can do is don't eat lettuce for a while. I
think it's the best thing you can do. I've just
put that out there. Let us not forever, just for

(54:02):
right now. And if you do have lettuce and you're
worried about it, it's better to air right on the
side of caution to slow the spread. I'm kidding. You
can't catch this from personal person, just putting that out there.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
This is it's the final weekend of the world cop
It's time to talk.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
About that ra.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
What are the rights shar right across too?

Speaker 17 (55:08):
We haven't been able to control the play in midfield
right that Mara Donut.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Has been able to do.

Speaker 7 (55:13):
It's all them on TL can win the World Cup
for Argentina with this kid.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Yes, oh it is. The final weekend of the World Cup.
Been absolutely fantastic. I'm gonna tell you that right now.
The numbers, by the way, have been just incredible. When
you go and look at the World Cup numbers as
far as viewership, it just out of this world, I

(55:48):
mean just incredible. In fact, quarterfinals, semi finals audiences were massive,
on par with NFL games for middle of the day
for a lot of people in parts of the country
and for other parts of the country lunchtime. So it

(56:12):
has been a huge, huge win across the board. Financially,
it's been a hell of a win. FIFA made a
ton of money off this. Lots of cities made some
decent money, but not where people expected them because I
don't think America understood how it worked. Ticket prices, you know,

(56:36):
those were those were more than a bit spendy. And
we'll probably get into a little bit of that next
hours we break down some of the you know, the
numbers across the board. But I will tell you it is.
It is huge, and this weekend's final. I guess we're
looking at seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to a
million dollars on Fox for the commers. So pretty darn good,

(57:02):
Pretty darn good. Now, so weekend we're gonna break it down.
Who wins the game, who becomes the champion of the world,
Like we need to know this, Let's get serious. Let's
look at some of the numbers. First of all, they've
each played seven games. Spain's won six, drawn one, Argentina's

(57:23):
won seven, so they both played seven games. Argentina scored
nineteen goals allowed seven, has kept two clean sheets. That's
no goals given up. Spain scored sixteen, given up one
six clean sheets. Argentina is number one ranked team in

(57:45):
the world. Spain is number two. So how do they
match up styles? Argentina is gritty, They're gonna give you chances.
They they poll for each other, they would never say die. Attitude,

(58:06):
they can and show that they can get very physical.
It's they are, you know, at times brilliant, but a
lot of the times they're just scrappy with moments of
brilliant and they've got messy which against a team like Spain,

(58:30):
you need somebody like Messi because Spain is anything but
what I just said Argentina is. Spain is cohesive, ball control.
Everything they do is a unit. They play defense from
the front. They have what they call a high press.

(58:50):
The minute you get the ball, they're on you and
they don't let up. They attack in numbers and they
do not give an inch across the board. When it
comes to players, obviously Messi is the one everybody's looking
to happen. On the other side, you've got Lemnaml who
is incredible and he's a star, and if he wins

(59:13):
this game, there's a very good chance he's going to
be what they call the ballon d'Or winner at nineteen
years old, which is the best player in the world,
and by the way, nineteen as of last Wednesday. So
let's break it down. Who's the best of these and
the most important player I believe for Spain is rodri

(59:37):
This guy plays in the midfield. He is there general,
he is a beast. So that is who I think
is the most important player. So goalkeepers for Spain Uni Simon,
for Argentina, Emilio Martinez.

Speaker 11 (59:53):
I give.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
Martinez the edge there, defense across the b Cucarella, Laporte,
kuber Rci and Poro. That's a win right there. For Spain.
Spain's got Malina, Romero, Martinez, Tealafico. They're good, but they're
not that that's why they've given up goals. Midfield, You've

(01:00:19):
got a decent midfield for Argentina. Fernandez, really good, McAllister,
really good Simone. I mean, they're all amazing players. But
when you go and look at Rodri and you know
Fabian and Ruiz and Danny Almo and them, and it's tough.

(01:00:40):
All of those guys are our stars, but Rodri and
Ruiz are so important, and Danny Almo in the attacking
side of stuff. Then you got up front, you've got
lemgnaml Orasabol and Bayina. Now, for whatever reason, hows Obol

(01:01:00):
is this guy who just can't stop scoring goals. It's
kind of come out of nowhere. When you think about,
you know, this great Spain team and you look and
you're like, okay, who it's got to be about your moon. No,
it's been about him on the goal scoring side. MLA
has created space, he's done a lot, He's drawn fouls
and all that stuff. But it's been about that guy.
And when it comes to Argentina, you've got Julian Alvarez,

(01:01:23):
who's great, and Lionel Messi. I think it's kind of
a push between all of them. So how do I
see the game breaking down. I see it breaking down
in a way where Argentina is going to let them
have the ball because I don't think they really have
any choice. Spain's gonna take it. They're going to do
what they want with it. Argentina gives up opportunities and

(01:01:45):
to a Spain team, you can't do that. Unlike England,
Spain is not going to falter. I think they're going
to get up. I think they're going to get up,
probably by two, and I think they're just going to
do it they did to France and suffocate Argentina to
the point where you look up and it's two to
nothing and that's it. And the reason is simple. It's

(01:02:10):
everything they do is just so precise, and it is quick,
and it is ball control and they are non stop
and Messi isn't going to have the opportunities he had before.
And the reason for that is not that they're going

(01:02:31):
to go out and mark them all the time. They're
just gonna deny him getting the ball. People ask me,
how do you beat Argentina, and I said, it's simple.
Don't let Messi get the ball. When he gets the ball,
he's going to create. There's only so much you're gonna
be able to do. And if Argentina is to win,
it's going to have to be a gritty performance where
they play defense and are on the back foot most

(01:02:52):
of the game, and then a moment of magic for
Messi to deliver a ball to somebody to score late.
That's how they would win, because you need somebody to
unlock that defense. But I just don't see it happen.
My prediction is Spain to Argentina nil. Spain will be

(01:03:17):
the World champions. That is my prediction. Let me know
what you think. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your ex insta, YouTube,
Facebook and everything else. Love hearing from each and every
single one of you. Several of you have chimed in saying, Chad,
you don't care about our elections. You don't think that
our elections are important. No, they're absolutely important, and I

(01:03:40):
care about our elections. But remember as we're sitting here
talking about China. Could have everything was it could have happened,
but didn't happen, at least so far as what you've seen.
So what are we supposed to do? I mean, you know,

(01:04:02):
to me, I said this to my buddy yesterday. Trump
almost got into a car accident six years ago, and
he wants to relitigate the almost car accident that he
got into and wondering if he could sue over damage.
It almost doesn't mean anything. Nothing we saw last night

(01:04:25):
was new. There are real issues that need to be
dealt with, inflation, the war, all of those things, and
it's costing us and it's going to get more expensive.

Speaker 5 (01:04:34):
Gas prices are now at their highest level in a month.
The national average for a gallon of regular gas this
morning is closing in on four dollars at three p
ninety seven. Diesel did just surpass that five dollar mark.
And that means higher transport costs for trucks, trains, and tractors.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
That's right, trucks, trains, tractors, things that bring us stuff
is getting more expensive. What does that mean you and
I will pay more at the store. Oh yeah, And
it's not just because of what's going on in the
Middle East, although that plays a huge roll.

Speaker 5 (01:05:09):
We're seeing these oil prices climb as hostilities escalating the
Middle East and shipping stalls once again in the Strait
of hor moves. Another factor is that Russia's oil refineries
have been damaged by drone strikes from Ukraine. That is
also tightening global fuel supplies.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Yes, tightening global fuel supplies. And remember, as we've pointed
out China during the first several weeks of the stop down,
we're blocking it. No, we've closed it, you know, kerfuffle,
China have the amount of oils that they would purchase

(01:05:51):
on the open market normally it's what twelve to fourteen
million barrels a day. They were down to about six
or seven barrel million barrels a day that they were
purchasing on the open market, going in their strategic reserve,
helping out some other nations, therefore helping to keep the
price down. That was before last night. Obviously, all of
this is to say what in total.

Speaker 5 (01:06:11):
A new estimate from Moody's Analytics finds that the typical
American household has now spent six hundred and twenty dollars
extra in gas diesel and jet fuel expenses in the
nearly five months since the start of the Iran War.
Of course, this comes on top of years of stubbornly
high prices for other everyday essentials groceries, housing, and utilities.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Life's more expensive. Period case closed, and it's going to
get more and more expensive as we move forward. We're
in it. Don't know what else to say. Last night,
if you were going to address the nation, that should
been your number one and only focus. That's all I'm saying.
It's not that I don't believe that people would try

(01:06:53):
to hack in, say ever did. There's no proof whatsoever.
They didn't even say that they even tried. They said
they they could. That's all they said. Oh yeah, yeah,
that's all that we need to worry about the day
to day cost of life when I ask people every

(01:07:16):
single day, people who are and this is gonna sound rude,
but I don't really give your ass hass people who
are participating in life still. You know, you're seventy two
and year at home. You guys get where I'm going
with this. You're retired, your house is paid off, you've
got money in the bank, and you're you're not hurt.

(01:07:39):
This means something, because yeah, this is a this is
your you know whatever, your world cup. If you're that
into politics, you're forty two, this isn't even the top
ten things you're worried about. You had a wife or
a husband, both of your work, and you're trying to
get your kids to school, trying to pay for life.
Those things are the things that you're paying attention to.

(01:08:03):
So if I was to ask, you know, as I
talk to people every day, what's the most important thing,
they all say the same thing. It's affordability. Can I
afford life? So it's not that I don't think that
it's important when it comes to us protecting our elections.

(01:08:24):
It's just that six years still know gotcha moment proof?
Look at this. There are other things that need.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
To be.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Right in front of this administration that they need to
get it through their heads. This is what matters to
the average American. This is what matters. What do you think?
Let me know? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four twenty three at chadmnted show, is your ex, your insta,
YouTube and all the other things incognitate we talk about it.
You're probably thinking, what's this again? So when is incredible.

(01:09:03):
We've been talking about data. You know a lot of
that stuff that China could have maybe stole. They just
go buy. They don't have to do that, they just
go buy it all. And Cogney's going to make sure
your data doesn't get out there because they're going to
make sure that the data brokers that have that they
take you off their list. They collect everything your name,
your address, phone numbers, your voting records, your income, even

(01:09:23):
your medications. All that information is out there scammers and
criminals can buy, and yes, even foreign governments will pay
for it. You don't want that. What you want is
to be protected. Over four hundred and what like fifteen
now on my dashboard that says that I was on
their broker's list, and I've been taking off their broker's list.

(01:09:45):
Thank you very much in cognate that's what you want.
You don't want that floating around. You want that stuff gone,
and Cognatey's going to do it for you. And if
it pops up again, they squash it back down. Guess
what if they can't find your information makes it a
whole lot harder for them to scam you. How do

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
As we wrap up the World Cup, we've been doing
the urban word of today. We've been doing soccer style,
giving you a little bit of soccer knowledge. For stuff
you might hear and you're not quite sure what the
heck that means. We break it down for you because
that's what we do. That's who we are.

Speaker 25 (01:10:50):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
All right. Today's urban word is I'm gonna throw a
couple out there because of the game this weekend. So
we've talked about the low block. Right you hear that,
some people say, what the hell's that mean? That's for
teams who kind of they defend tightly. Further back, let
teams come at them. Spain is the opposite. They play

(01:11:24):
a high press, so they're guys the minute the keeper
has the ball and it's to one of their defenders.
Can see everybody playing with their feet, the sweeper keepers
another word right there. What ends up happening is their
guys are on them. They defend from the front and
they do it kind of like a full court press.
So that's the high press, low block, high press. Some

(01:11:45):
of your urban words of the day. That was the
urban word of the day. Now you know some of
you has said, how could you pick Argentina to lose
with MESSI? It's look, I'm just watching the games I'm seeing,
and who's a better team Spain. I'm not saying that
that Argentina can't win. I'm just saying I'm giving you

(01:12:08):
my prediction that I believe Spain wins the game to nothing.
Let me know what you think. We love hearing from
all of you right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up, our number three of the show, Last hour

Straight ahead. This is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Before we get to the big speech last night, which
we're gonna take a smitch of time on, we need
to talk about something serious. The parasite. We know now
where it came from. We know, and I'm gonna say

(01:13:52):
I'm still a big fan and I don't eat lettuce there.
That's all you need to know.

Speaker 26 (01:13:58):
In the week of a major outbreak connected to a
parasite found in produce, Taco Bell moving quickly to remove
the questionable let us from its menus, staying in a statement,
the affected ingredient from our supplier is being indefinitely removed
from our supply chain nationwide. It comes as NBC News
has learned the FDA is investigating iceberg lettuce sold to

(01:14:21):
Taco Bell by Taylor Farms as a potential source of
the cyclosporiasis outbreak overnight. The FDA, saying it's trace back investigation,
has identified a single supplier of iceberg lettuce from Mexico
that was used by Taco Bell locations. The food born
illness can cause weeks of severe intestinal distress.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
That's right, weeks, so we learned over the last couple
days as an ora virus kind of like a food
poisoning thing comes in, goes out as a virus. This
is a parasite. It can stay weeks in some cases.
Some people have had it for several weeks, several and
rather than it being Uncle Sam's revenge, we're finding out

(01:15:07):
little Manazumi's revenge.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
You know.

Speaker 20 (01:15:10):
I felt like there was a lead ball in my stomach.

Speaker 26 (01:15:14):
Jessica Murphy Smith is one of more than forty three
hundred people in Michigan who've gotten sick. She says she
ate bag salads at least once a day and also
had Taco Bell.

Speaker 20 (01:15:25):
I realized about a week before I started feeling sick.
I had a cheat day and I went to Taco
Bell and had two tacos, and there was lettuce on
those tacos.

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Yes, I mean you're eating lettuce. And Taylor Farms provides
a lot of lettuce to big box grocery stores and whatnot.
So I mean you were living in a world of day.
You looked right at danger and you said, how bad

(01:16:00):
can it be? Well you found out. You found out
indeed it was bad bad.

Speaker 26 (01:16:07):
So far, the lettuce has only been linked to five states,
mostly in the Midwest, but it's believed nearly seven thousand
people across thirty four states have been sickened.

Speaker 15 (01:16:18):
I don't think that the work is done, but that's
why I call it the beginning of the end. Unfortunately,
we'll see more cases as that all plays out, but
hopefully we're over the rough patch once we've identified the
main force.

Speaker 26 (01:16:32):
So far, there's been no official response from Taylor Farms.
As for Taco Bell, it says it is taken precautionary
action and is encouraging all relevant restaurants, retailers, and food
service operators to do the same.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
So bean and cheese, you're good with the bean and cheese.
You get a bean and cheese brito, you're good. I
get a bean and cheese. Throw a little bit of
ground beef on there, right, ask for some ground beef.
Make a little combo burrito. I don't get the audience
because I was worried about that. That was one of
the things originally that there was. The onions could be
a part of this. So we're just we're keeping you

(01:17:09):
guys aware of what's going on because you do not
want to have a crappy weekend, if you get where
I'm going with this. I had gastroindritis in England and
I will tell you it felt like a hot poker
in my stomach in waves every three to five minutes

(01:17:32):
for quite a while. I lost so much weight. I
lost I think fourteen fifteen pounds in a week. It
was bad. It was so you know, it's about the
only thing I compared to it was. But this just

(01:17:53):
you know, we've been say don't eat lettuce, which is
a smart thing anyways, and I'm kidding, of course, but
just you know, common sense here, that's all we're saying
people a little common sense three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three atch, you had ben to show.
That is your ex your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook, and
all the other good things here. So last night Trump

(01:18:14):
came out delivered a speech. There was nothing there. The
the hardcore right maga right, They're like, this is it
and people are going to jail and that. I don't
know anybody's buying that. I'm sorry, you know, I just
I don't think anybody's really buying that. And if and
if there are people that are going to, then you know, let's.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
See it, go for it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Do I think it's gonna happen?

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
I think what we learned last night was Trump still
has a grievance about what happened to him in twenty
twenty under his watch. By the way, I don't to
remind everybody, he was president and because of that, he
feels he's been hard done by. And there is no

(01:18:58):
there there Sorry, I don't see it because there isn't
any There was no receipts, there was nobody changed anything.
It was all kind of implied they could, okay, but
did they Well no, they didn't. Were they going to?
We weren't quite sure. They tried to. We influenced all
over the world for God's sakes, my goodness, by the way,

(01:19:23):
our allies try to influence us. What do you mean
our allies? Israel twenty twenty four election cycle, US intelligence
and media reports have detailed covert campaigns designed to sway
American political sentiment. A prominent example emerged involving Israel government

(01:19:47):
funded or direct covert influence campaigns aimed at US lawmakers
and the public. What twenty sixteen Massive Benjamin Netanyah, who
allegedly dispatched as secret operative to the US in twenty
sixteen to offer intelligence to Donald Trump's campaign.

Speaker 8 (01:20:05):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
Yeah, No, we have gone and influenced god knows how
many eighty some since nineteen forty six elections in other countries.
Just to put that out there. They do it to us,
we do it to them. Does it mean that they

(01:20:28):
I'm still looking for they switched votes? That wasn't there
all these illegal votes? Well there's two dred is there.
Let's see them. Because the stuff you put out last night,
has you said two hundred and seventy eight thousand? What
it showed was like ten or twelve thousand? I mean,
come on, well, the big big media is in it

(01:20:51):
as well, because they hate Trump. They don't hate Trump.
They love Trump. Trump's good for ratings, but there are
just some things that they thought they weren't going to cover.
Last night was one of those things. And of course
Trump's like, we should take away their licenses. You're like,
oh god.

Speaker 27 (01:21:08):
NBC and ABC did the same thing as this network
CNN last night. The newsrooms monitored the speech, evaluated what
was actually newsworthy, looked at the documents Trump was declassifying,
and then reported on what happened. NBC and ABC both
went on the air with special reports to explain that
the speech had happened and to summarize what Trump had said,
but most importantly, to contextualize it and fact check it,

(01:21:31):
just as see an End did now. Trump was ominously
claiming that the networks were part of a plot, but
the only real plot here. The only intention is to
remain reality based and truth based. Trump's election lies led
to violence after the twenty twenty election. So this is
a subject that really does warrant extra care and attention
by journalists, and frankly, some network executives felt that it
would be dangerous to just air Trump's speech live in full,

(01:21:56):
unedited without knowing what he was going to say ahead
of time.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
That's where we are in America.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
You should have asked this teleprompter guy because of the
whole thing where he saw the speeches and they laid
money on stuff. But that being said, settled down with
people were worried about getting violent. No, it's you didn't
want an air it. It just looked at it. E.
It's not doing us anything. It isn't there's something relevant
that happens. Great, it's not the first time that the

(01:22:23):
president didn't have one of his primetime speeches. They point
out on numerous occasions now people to watch Biden's right,
one of Biden's big speeches. People that the you know,
CBS didn't cover it. They had a rerun. I think
of Young Sheldon. I mean, it's not the first time
it isn't Fox covered it, and you know it. They're

(01:22:45):
worried about what they can say. They went I think
Hannity right, he was like, oh, and then he goes
to the lady the that is covering it, and she
gives this. You know, we can't verify any of the
things he said, so we're not going to say any
because you know, they got sued for a trillion dollars,
and we have.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
Been here before.

Speaker 27 (01:23:04):
I remember during some of Trump's COVID nineteen bravings in
twenty twenty, some of the medical misinformation was so unhinged
that networks broke away from those briefings.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
So there is a history for this.

Speaker 27 (01:23:15):
But last night Rupert Murdoch's Fox Networks did show Trump Live.
CBS took more of a truth sandwich approach, starting with
the truth, then showing Trump's speech part of the speech,
not all of it, and then resuming with more truth
with more fact checking afterwards. And I think that makes
a lot of sense, and that's what we see us
all from CNN as well, where all night we were

(01:23:36):
really trying to contextualize and explain why Trump was doing this,
what he was claiming, what was real, what was not real.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
It's all real or not. I mean, there was no
smoking gun, there was none of those things. He should
have focused on inflation. If you're gonna give a prime
time speech inflation, What's the number one thing people are
worried about. The worried about the cost of life. They're
worried about whether or not we're going to be dragged
in further to Iran is economy about ready to tell
how expensive is life going to get now that we're
backed in in it more of a way that we

(01:24:05):
were even I would say, even prior to the Memorandum
of understanding. I mean, we're in a position right now
where we're seeing you know, fuel prices rise. You know,
we got a little rest bite for from it in June.
But back up, they're going right now. Those things matter
to the average American, right those things do they The

(01:24:30):
average person isn't going to wake up today and go,
hope we fix that election thing because there was no
proof that anything changed. They tried to influence whatever. I
don't know what else there is to say. Trust me,
they're paying people, they ain't paying me.

Speaker 12 (01:24:47):
I know that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
Nobody's paying me, and we're open for business. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

at how fast it works. Now, inflammation is you know,
we don't eat great, we get a little older, maybe
we're doing a little bit more, maybe even our job's

(01:25:32):
a little taxing, and we just don't do it like
we used to. And that bums everybody out You don't
want to be that person when you wake up and
your bones are creaky and your sore and all that stuff.
That's where relief Factor comes in. It fights it from
the inside out. It tackles inflammation that way. It doesn't
mask what's going on. And I love that third party
tested purity impotency packet is right here in these here

just says the Dodo Israel. Taco Bell over to Yahoo.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in Imax, Trump China, Canadian Wildfire
God Wi Fire Taco Bell trending. Todd Blanche also trending

(01:28:18):
because he met with Epstein's accusers after pressure from Senator
Tom Tillis deepening. Chipsel off has people worried in the
world of finance because there's a sense that the AI
bubble is about to pop. If you will finally over

(01:28:41):
to X. A lot of stuff about last night, A
lot of it, A lot of stuff about last night,
IRGC trending number one, and then the rest of it
is mail three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three. Atch Had Benson's show. It is your ex,
your instant, your YouTube, your Facebook, and all of the

(01:29:03):
other things. I love hearing from all of your right
here on the Chad Benson Show. Lots of China stuff,
Meet Loaf for whatever reason, Fact Check, which people don't like.
CBS News Deep State, Oh, the deep State is back.
What do you guys think of that? Deep State is back?

(01:29:24):
Israels trending as well. One of those things trending is
The Odyssey, which came out last night. So they have
like Thursday night showings because that's kind of what we
do now. And it was so funny how political this
thing came. You'd start hearing stuff and you weren't quite sure,
and I'm like, it's just you know, Elliott Page really

(01:29:46):
playing Achilles. That'd be ridiculous. Well, comes to find out
that a lot of that stuff wasn't real, as we
all know. And it's so funny how the right and
the left battle over just the most ridiculous things. How
people want this to fail so bad, And I'm like, Okay, well,
I got news for you. If you're out there and
you want it to fail because it's woke or whatever, yeah,

(01:30:09):
not gonna happen. Box office estimates are in record high.
They're expecting this weekend a record high, and it puts
it on pace to get past Michael, which if that's
kind of where it's pacing, that bodes well for the movie,

(01:30:30):
so we will see. It's just it is so fascinating
to watch everybody fight over a movie, because, yes, has
Hollywood gone woke and made ridiculous stuff. They have, but
now we want people to fail, and it's just like,
good God, we can't even do movies anymore. In entertainment,
I'm out coming up. Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public

(01:30:54):
Policy Research. He joins the program Jet.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
Bets a jet Son Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
It is that time of the day, talk to go
about Jim Kennedy of the Kennedy in public ballacy of research.
We're talking about pop culture politics and Jim, we're going
to lead it off of that big speech last night.
Oh my lord, did we find out nothing? And it
was awesome. I'm so excited. I wasted my time with that.
What's your take on it?

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
I thought it was a fact filled evening of insightful
evidence and proof that China has influenced our election. Okay, No,
I really wasn't. Yeah, there was a lot of it
was a nothing burger. I'm disappointed. I really wanted there
to be something there. And in the end, you know,
you went through some of the documents. I went through
the document we ran them through. AI didn't find anything

(01:32:02):
that really was a smoking gun or really much of
anything other than yeah, there's a firm possibility that maybe
our systems could be vulnerable, and not really any evidence
that they actually did anything to influence the elections. And
they throw a lot of stuff out there, but if
you look at it in the context of what really
happened and what did or didn't happen, they don't have
any real solid proof that you know, well, this machine

(01:32:25):
in this location was compromised and these twenty seven hundred
votes were changed. They don't have anything like that got
the firm possibility that maybe something could have happened if
they tried really hard.

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
Yeah, if they tried really hard, and there was a
lot of oh look what they did, or they could
have done none of that. I mean, at the end
of the day. For six years now plus, this has
been going on with Trump, you know, always worried about this.
He's you know, I mean, this is he talks about
it all the time, and it was stolen or was
this and we need to do all these things. And

(01:32:59):
yet this was your big speech and the believers you
were always going to get them. Everybody else just laughed
latin that last night and said, there's nothing here. We
have bigger issues like Iran and stuff like that, and
lo and behold, you're doing a prime time speech about

(01:33:20):
something that ninety percent of the stuff was already out
there in the open.

Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
Yeah, and exactly. I mean, it's like, you know, they
you know, they had hundreds of hours of people going
over the documents. They've been declassifying them, it looks like
for months, and putting other analysis and redacting them because
a lot of the documents are a lot of black lines.
They're not a lot of influence some of them. Some
of them are not. I mean, some of them aren't
that bad. But in the end, it's like, what did
they You know, the people that were working on this

(01:33:46):
is going, well, what do we really have here? Because
I don't really see where they really have anything that is,
you know, real smoking guns, concrete evidence. I mean, like
you know, you talked about nobody's going to jail for this.
I don't think no one. I don't think anyone even
be indicted for this, probably because there just isn't that
much evidence there to where it even it reaches that
level of being law breaking that you could actually go

(01:34:09):
prove in a court of law. So maybe I'm wrong,
but I don't suspect it's gonna be anybody charge from this.
I don't think they'll be rounding up one hundred people
and getting grand jury indictments against them. So it was basically,
you know, there was just nothing there. And again, a
fortunate Trump goes out and makes a big, big deal
about something and doesn't really deliver the proof that would

(01:34:30):
you know, that would get him a lot of I mean,
they would get them a lot of popularity. Going again,
again that would that that would get him some credit
for doing something good. But in the end, people are
just kind of going, well, what was that all about?
And why did I wait thirty minutes watching that and
another hour feeding all the documents through AI.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
Yeah, so that was, uh, well, it is what it is.
And and and remember, Jim, I don't know if you're
aware of this, we're hot, we've never been hot, or
we're the hottest of the hottest. Oh my lord whatever
man description.

Speaker 3 (01:35:00):
Prices are so cheap.

Speaker 2 (01:35:01):
Yeah, that was we could we can play the fact
check game all day. So much of that was again
it's I know he has a lot of hyperbole. I
know he throws stuff out there and anyway, but it's
just it's the same thing. It's like watching the same
the comic was great once, but he hasn't changed his act.
And I and I think a lot of people are
getting fatigue.

Speaker 3 (01:35:23):
Yeah, and we've talked about Trump fatigue before and yeah,
I mean it's just you get tired of it. After
you know, we're again we're going we're into our eleventh year,
you know, soon to be going into the twelve year
of this. And I've talked about lots of administrations. People
were tired of George W. Bush after eight years, They're
tired of Clinton after eight years, they were tired of Reagan.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
HW.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
Bush managed to get through a second term and then
he was defeated by Clinton. So yeah, you I mean
generally we don't you know, we like our politicians, well
only like them for a limited period of time where
they're basically get past their sell by date and we
move on and we want to make a change or
other people come up. And you know, that's the one
the great things about it. We have a peaceful transition
of government, and frequently it's a transition from one party

(01:36:05):
to another. It's not necessarily were one party rules for
decades at a time. It just doesn't happen to me.
Happened in the in the legislative chambers, but certainly not
in the executive chair and the executive branch. And yeah,
Trump is getting to the point where he's by his
cell by date and people. And again you could see
that with what we talk about on the midterms on
basically the lack of the lack of interest in a

(01:36:26):
lot of their stuff that in picking poor candidates. So yeah,
it's just Trump's getting close to a cell by date,
and there was just not a lot there tonight that
would make you think, oh, okay, yeah, this guy's really
got some good new idea. No, now, this is the
same stuff that's been trodden out before, maybe repackaged with
you know, a lot of reactions and a bunch of
fancy you know, right across the top about declassification. But

(01:36:48):
there wasn't a lot of stuff out there, at least
that you know, that I've seen so far that again
is going to get anybody in trouble or anybody even
indicted for anything.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
all right, Jim, let's move from there to the fact
that we're still doing something in Iran today. And over
the last couple days, I've been talking about you know,
Professor Paint from the University of Chicago in Illinois, who
is who has put together the escalation trap, and he

(01:37:16):
has pointed out that we're now in a position where
we may not have any other choice but to escalate
because we have given them essentially the straight of horror
moves if we don't, which is twenty percent of the
world's oil, and now made them a big dog. So
that's not a good place to be, No, And he's got.

Speaker 3 (01:37:37):
A factor in which I don't think he did in
the in the general analysis of it, of somebody who
is like Trump and with an ego and does not
want it. Basically, everything he does is he measures it
a personally up against Obama. And there is no way
that he's going to be able to step away from
this until he gets a better deal than Obama. And
right now he doesn't have a better deal than Obama.

(01:37:57):
And we've spent fifty seventy billion dollars in armaments that'll
take us two to three years to replenish in many cases,
to get us back to the levels we were at
in January of this year at a critical time when
China could be moving something in the you know, on
Taiwan or other areas. So it's not a good time
to be short of cruise missiles and armaments like that. So, yeah,

(01:38:19):
you have to worry about what Trump will do because
he is upset and mad and feels like he's been
embarrassed by this, and bombing Iran back into the stone
age we've seen does not work. I don't I mean,
I think he's I mean, unfortunately, I think he's going
to try to. I think he'll wind up chickening out
in the end because I don't think you want to
put boots on the ground. I don't think he really

(01:38:39):
wants to risk one hundred because that would really be
a presidential legacy changing thing if they put one hundred
thousand troops on the ground, because it could go very
badly regardless, because I remember, this wasn't a popular war
by anybody in his administration.

Speaker 17 (01:38:53):
JD.

Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
Vance was on Rogan saying he didn't think it was
a good idea. Where you know, it pretty much seems
like that Telsea Gabbert left because of her strong disagreement
over going into Iran. So he didn't have support of
anybody who was on his inner circle or his military
leadership team, and he went ahead and did it anyway.
And now he's stuck. He's not luckily, he's not stuck

(01:39:14):
within a quagmire where a lot of lives are being
lost on a daily basis, but he's stuck in a
political quagmire. And as I keep saying, he's got to
get this done by Labor Day at the latest, or
this is going to really start dragging into the midterms
and with the I know prices went down recently, but
that's because the straight open back up. Now that it's
closing again, oil prices are going to going back up,

(01:39:35):
and oil prices get you everywhere down the supply chain
for price increases and stuff starts going up in September
and October. People are going to remember it a couple
weeks later in November, and they're not going to be
voting for Republicans as the people who made their stuff
more expensive, from gasoline to cars, to groceries, to insurance
to whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, Jim,
you know, if you were to handicap, you know, the
most important things to the average American climate change, Russia
and China interfering and stealing the election, you know, the

(01:40:18):
IRGC getting a nuclear weapon at any moment maybe kind
of sort of, or being able to afford life. Which
one do you think sits at the top affordability?

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):
I think gender for me, No, Jennifer me carries a
sorry I was wrong there. Yeah, it's gonna be affordability.
I got talked about with it. If when you start
raising gas prices you start getting or diesel prices, fuel prices,
you start getting it all the way down through the
supply chain, and that's going to be something that's going
to come home to haunt them in November if it
doesn't get rectified. So yeah, no, it's affordability before this

(01:40:51):
whole iron kerfuffler whatever exactly it is we are calling
it started last year. We started, you know, talking about
things like this. We were affordability with number and I
don't think that's changed at all because we've seen prices
go up, we've seen prices go down again. Prices usually
are quick to move up and slow to move back down,
and sometimes they may not move all the way back
down because costs have gone up for the suppliers and

(01:41:13):
they want to keep a little bit more of that
price to either pad their margins or get their margins
back to what they were previously. And that's what's going
to be. It's going to be, I mean, unless there
are some sort of existential threats. And while the IRGC
getting a nuclear weapon is not really an existential threat,
it's something to be concerned about. It does come down
to the family of four when they're going through their

(01:41:34):
finances to can they afford, you know, signing their son
up for football for next fall for the football season.
Can they afford another set of gymnastic lessons for Sandy.
That's basically what it comes down to is how far
does their money go? And those externalities don't really affect
them unless there's something where their jobs are directly connected
to it, or they have a direct influence on their lives,

(01:41:56):
or a loved one in their family has something that's
involved that they don't. It's not going to be something
they really matter about. It always comes down to pocketbook
economics in the end, and right now, with the costs
going up, even though they did come down last month,
it is not looking good unless this gets under control.
So they do need to get the around problem fixed
because without oil going through the straits, that is a

(01:42:18):
problem that is going to raise costs and that is
going to hurt them.

Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
In November, talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public
Policy Research, all right, Jim, let's get down to some
real serious stuff. We have the World Cup Final this weekend.
The World Cup's been massive, I mean, let's I mean,
let's just the biggest event we've ever hosted sporting event
on the planet, and this is the biggest one that
anybody's ever hosted, and we've done an amazing job. We

(01:42:43):
have Spain, we have Argentina, We've got Messy, we have
le mean Jamol who you got well.

Speaker 3 (01:42:53):
I think it would be a good storybook ending for
Messi to go possibly out in his last World Cup
with a victory and maybe scoring the winning goal. If
you really wanted to write a really Hollywood, Hollywood ish ending,
I think that would probably be good. Though Spain has
proven to be a very solid team. They're not a
team with a lot of weaknesses. They're not flashy, they're
not really exciting, but in the end they just wind

(01:43:15):
up on the winning side of it. So I would
say Argentina would would certainly be the storybook, but I
would I would not be surprised to find out that
Spain wins as a solid defensive team that has gotten
the job done and manage to find a way to
shut down Messi Rigginians.

World Cup third place game tomorrow. Don't always sleep on these.
France has a lot of players that could have played

(01:49:04):
for any other team on the planet, and I think
they've got something to prove, And for England, I think
they don't want to go out the way they did.
I think it'll be an entertaining game. I think France
gets over on this one, and when it comes to
the final, let's be honest, they were bound to clash
at some point in time. Messi and le Minha Mal

(01:49:24):
Defense wins championships, but there's some majesticness with Messi. But
at the end of the day, I think Spain gets
it done. You know, the World champions You guys have
a blessed amazing weekend. We'll do again on Monday. As always,
