Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, now that the Beijing trip is over, what's next?
How about Iran? Which looks like status quo today. I
still think at some point in time something's gonna happen,
sooner rather than later. Trump very confident that it's going
to be over soon.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
We had in total military victory. We knocked out in
their entire navy. We knocked out their entire air force.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
There you go, no navy, no air force, nothing left whatsoever.
So this should be easy. Open up the straight to
horr moves. Let's get it done.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I don't need favors. I think he will. I think
automatically he'd like to see it opened up. He gets
about forty percent of his energy or soil from.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
The region of the world, So roughly fifty to fifty
five percent of China's crude oil comes from Middle East
as far as Iran goes. About twelve to fourteen percent
of China's total oil imports they get from Iran. So yeah,

(01:24):
they'd like to see it open. Is it going to
be open anytime soon? That's the literally the trillion dollar question.
I don't know if it's going to be open anytime soon.
I don't know what's going to go on. I don't
know how long the staring contest is going to last.
My belief is that sometime in the next few days

(01:46):
there could be something, and I say that because I
want to caveat a bit of this. Cuba is not
far away from crumbling, and by that I mean very, very,
very close to being done. We actually had our CIA

(02:11):
director and the Interior Minister of Cuba meet. They've been
negotiating apparently for the last couple of months. There's a
chance that Castro could be indicted, so that's a big deal.

(02:34):
They have nothing left. The regime is the weakest it's
ever been, so I say something could take place with Iran,
but know that this is also the opportunity to do something,
and I have a feeling this is going to happen soon.
Now they have nothing. If you've not seen any of

(02:55):
the pictures over there, as bad as it is in
North Korea, they look positively stable and in a good
position compared to what's happening in Cuba. So there's a
chance that soon there's gonna be indictment of Raoul Castro,
and from there, who knows what's gonna happen. So and

(03:18):
that case is related to the nineteen ninety six shootdown
of planes operated by humanitarian groups Brothers to the Rescue.
So it's gonna be interesting. Man. There's some stuff coming.
There is no doubt about that. There's no doubt that
there is some stuff coming. And then you go back
to the Iran thing. Look, Cuba is it looks like

(03:42):
it's on live support. But that's not going to affect
all the other things that matter to us the economy.
That's not going to bring gas prices down. That's not
going to change the day to day thing for us here.
It's a win, right or all those people in Florida,
those cupid refugees, right, the families who've wanted this for

(04:06):
a very long time and pushing this. But for the
average person here in America, we're going great, that's nice. Now,
what are you going to do about inflation? What are
you going to do about the other things going on?
Gas prices? Gas prices by the way on the West
coast about to get really ugly. We're gonna talk to
you Jim Kennedy coming up a little bit about that

(04:27):
as well. But when you start thinking about the everyday,
day to day business side, of stuff like trying to
pay your bills. You're seeing the fact that food pantries
are seeing more people than they have seen in a
long time. People are frustrated, people are angry, and people

(04:49):
are looking for some answers because they were promised this
wasn't going to happen, that you were going to bring
down inflation, that you weren't going to get into any
new wars, that you were going to stop wars, that
you were going to fix these problems, and that hasn't happened.
So Trump's gotta face as he comes back the reality

(05:10):
that Iran isn't over, that this was a nice meeting,
but nothing got solved. There's no concrete anything. You know,
the people on the right will celebrate this as the god.
Did you see he got all of these he got
what commitments? How many of those things actually happened? Very
rarely do any of them happen, not saying they won't.

(05:33):
But they didn't talk about tariffs, They didn't talk about
a lot of stuff. A lot of it was about Taiwan.
Trump was very uncommitted. Marco Rubio came out and said,
our position hasn't changed, And they talked about Iran, a
little bit more than I think many people, including myself,

(05:55):
thought they were going to. So could something take place
this weekend? Oh, there's no doubt something could take place
this weekend. There's no doubt in my mind something when
it comes to Iran may take place. And what did
I tell you guys watch out for Operation Sledgehammer, Just
putting that out there, little Operation Sledgehammer could be coming.

(06:18):
Trump last night on with Are You Ready for This?
Another hard hitting.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Interview with Hannity, sixty percent in enriched uranium to be
weapons grade ninety percent enriched in under twelve days, and
they were bragging to your Middle East Envoy Steve Wickcoff,
if I.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Didn't go in with the B two bombers that week,
that day, that week, they would right now have a nuclear.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
Bum So it was that imminent.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well I thought so, Well, you thought so doesn't mean it?
So you thought so doesn't mean it. So and them
saying they had it didn't They actually had it, But
we didn't need to be there trying to justify something.
And it works for a group of people who are

(07:12):
the boomers. It works for them because again they still
look back and think nineteen seventy nine they think back
all of those things. This is what they see is
that this is the revenge and we're finally righting the
wrong that took place with the fall of our embassy

(07:35):
and the hostage taking. Do I think it's true. No,
I think we're in something we shouldn't be in. And
I think Trump's trying to figure a way to get
himself out, and he's trying to explain his way out
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
We don't need it at all, We don't need it
at all, fair enough.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
So I mean, you could make the case, you know, like,
why are we even We're doing it to help Israel
and to help Saudi Arabia and to help Qatar and
UAE and you know, Kuwait and other countries' bah Rain.

Speaker 7 (08:09):
It also helps China.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
We're actually I told him today, I said, you know,
we're helping you, and we're helping you in another way
because I don't think they want I don't think China
wants a ran to have a nuclear weapon either. I said, this,
don't go crazy. You don't need them having a nuclear weapon. Well,
he's not going to respond to much. He's a pretty
cool guy. He's not going to say, oh gee, that's

(08:34):
a good point.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
I think he's involved. But what a wonderful point do
you think? I think I was the impression. I don't
think he wants them to No, he would like to
see it end. But he's been good about it, you know.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
So the nuclear weapon thing is still the go to
on this. Well, do they still have all the sixty
percent enrichment? Why would they have continued to try to
enrich it to get the bomb? You know, if they
even got it to ninety percent right within that two
week breakout period twelve months to eighteen months before they

(09:13):
could produce something. Even if they did, so, could we
see something this weekend? It's possible we'll find out. Oil
price is staying steady, gas heights has been in four years,
Inflation is up, and people are getting nervous, very very nervous.
We moved from there to Scotis. Scotis is getting ready

(09:37):
to do their ruling dump, I guess is the best
way to describe it. There's still some big cases out there.
One that could come at any moment is the abortion pill.
So there is a stay on it right now, and

(09:58):
this is a case brought by Luisian.

Speaker 8 (10:00):
Here we are again, this time the suit is brought
by the State of Louisiana, which says they are challenging
access to MIF for priston under these guidelines developed by
the Biden administration to allow women to seek the pill
via telemedicine, to pick it up by out a pharmacy,
or to receive it in the mail. It's greatly expanded access.
That's how it's been for the past five years. But
the State of Louisiana says it wasn't safely studied, it

(10:22):
was not implemented properly, therefore it's illegal, and they got
the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to agree with them.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
And so Supreme Court said, now you can still have
access to it, and even if they ruled for the
State of Louisiana, you could still get it. This is
based on whether or not you have to go to
the actual doctor rather than do telehealth. Top of that, obviously,
the biggest one out there is birthright, the birthright citizenship

(10:53):
that is Trump versus Barbara, and that is essentially the
Fourteenth Amendment. The administration right argues citizenship should only apply
when at least one parent has permanent legal status, so
you can't be here illegally have your child, and then
that child be a citizen. One of those people have

(11:15):
to be here legally. And this will redefine everything if
this goes in Trump's favor. And this is an executive
order two, so even if it win his favor, somebody
could then undo it if they don't caudify it. So
this is there's still a lot of stuff hanging out there.
Ain't no doubt about that. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(11:36):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your
ex your Insta, YouTube and everything else. Relief Factor is amazing, incredible.
Take it every single day.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
One of the listeners, George listens quite a bit, runs
around the garbage truck every day. Loves his job, but
it's kind of a hard job and he is struggling,
couldn't bend his knee. Decided to finally go for it,
and that is try. Relief Factor changed everything. Says within
a week he can move his knee again. It's back

(12:08):
to normal. You don't have to live in pain. It
fights inflammation. That's what I love about Relief Factor. It
works from the inside out, fights that inflammation and helps
you get back to your best self. Don't live in pain. Anymore,
get the relief you need and do it with relief
Factor now right now, nineteen ninety five three week quick start.

(12:30):
You get it by going to relief Factor dot com
relief Factor dot com or call eight hundred four Relief
eight hundred and number four Relief for relief Factor. All right,
coming up, little Finally Friday sounds for you. We got
a new segment called the Asshat of the Week. We've
got three people this week who are potentially the ass

(12:53):
hats of the week. Quite frankly all of them are,
but we'll let you vote, among other things.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
Chad Benson, Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's Friday, and let's be honest, thank god, it finally
is Friday.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Our biggest concern with the ANDES virus will always be
about them getting sick first.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's always about the person.

Speaker 10 (13:25):
So on the low end, to get my two extractions,
bone grab and two implants, it's going to cost me
over seventeen thousand dollars just for that. In Tijuana, it's
gonna cost me just under five thousand dollars.

Speaker 11 (13:36):
I'm not one hundred dollars fucking me my hole. I
know how I'll say, anybody's burning a hold, I do
my bucketing and do my skim my money.

Speaker 12 (13:48):
Morning, I'll be.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
It's fine.

Speaker 11 (13:52):
Fiday, I'm a free I'm done my motorman. Wow again,
it's fine.

Speaker 13 (14:04):
As you know, this conduct involved her in interactions with
the jury at that time. As the court said in
the order, this was conduct unknown to the state and
other individuals well to know.

Speaker 14 (14:16):
A person convicted of those things is simply too dangerous
to ever be free.

Speaker 11 (14:22):
It's fine.

Speaker 15 (14:29):
It's otherwise people will turn to fascism, to Minnie Trump,
which is who I think Spencer Pratt really represents.

Speaker 16 (14:43):
I don't live at the Hotel Biller, I don't live
in the state of Arbor.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
I don't have a house.

Speaker 17 (14:47):
Until you've lived what we've gone through, you shouldn't criticize
what anybody is doing.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
They lost everything.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Wed a thirty.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
Hours slowly unity fun.

Speaker 11 (15:09):
I'm a freak.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Forget that. We have to lean into it. We have
to use it in a really constructive and creative way.
Make it our friend.

Speaker 10 (15:28):
I think it accomplished a great deal, but it's not
over because there's still nuclear material.

Speaker 18 (15:32):
This is what you're supposed to do with power. This
is what you're supposed to do. With a super majority,
you're supposed to punish your opponents.

Speaker 19 (15:38):
And the China US relationship is the most important bilateral
relationship in the world.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
What do you guys think? Let me know right here
in the Chad Benson Show, I'd.

Speaker 16 (15:48):
Now like to raise it glass and propose a toast
to the rich and enduring ties between the American and
Chinese people.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
And I don't think about American financial situation. I don't
think about anybody.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Oh yeah, that's billboard material. As we said, what a week,
I mean speaking of a week could be honest about
cash Betel Okay, he's been a disappointment. And if you
want to find somebody who is running around acting the

(16:21):
fool and playing the game of pelebrity, which, of course,
as you guys know on our program, is the political celebrity,
which unfortunately we kind of have pretty much everywhere. Now,
this guy, you know, between his his what does he
give a bottle of bourbon or something? Out right? He

(16:43):
coins with cash see a dollar sign. H I mean,
it's ridiculous. But if you thought that was ridiculous, and
there's plenty of it between I'm going to close the
FBI building. The first day I'm there to Epstein, to
all of the stuff. Another celebrity move here. He and

(17:03):
his friends, according to emails, got a VIP snorkeling adventure
next to the USS Arizona. Now this was coordinated by
the military, which they told him don't touch anything. It's
just and I know what people will say, Oh, you're
you're being crazy. No, you know what it is. At

(17:24):
some point in time, it's another distraction from a person
who's more interested in what's in it for me than
anything else. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
twenty three at Chad Benson Show X Instant Everything Else,
Chad Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Show, that Chad Dnson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
That time of the week. To talk to our good buddy,
Jim Kennedy of the Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, Soccer, politics,
the pop culture, a little bit of life. Uh, Jim,
I don't know if you're aware of this. Trump went
to China and met with the Chinese, and uh, uh
so there was that I was. I was curious though,
I think everybody was shocked that China came out of

(18:24):
the gate.

Speaker 20 (18:24):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Jean's like, look it's the Taiwan's are issue, stay out
of it or else this is going to get ugly.

Speaker 21 (18:32):
Yeah, it's not really surprising because they really have that
has been their attitude for a long time. The fact
that they brought it up with Trump is you know,
is again not surprised that they would that they.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
Would do that. What's you know, you got Trump over there.

Speaker 21 (18:46):
It's interesting because you remember the guys by by definition
as a real estate developer, and for him to see
what China has done in the last twenty five or
fifty to twenty five years, for example, and and and
how it's you know, how it's grown and what has
become in the world markets and stuff.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
It really is interesting.

Speaker 21 (19:01):
And I'm sure that he has to look around and
look at a lot of that real estate stuff. And
I need some Trump I need some Trump towers over
here in Beijing also. But yeah, it'll be interesting that
what comes out of these, you know, out of these meetings.
Trump and she'd have a little bit of a bromance,
at least I know on Trumps Sde. I'm not sure
that she did. I think she just kind of thinks
that he can use them for stuff. And I'm not

(19:23):
really sure that he actually can. But but yeah, as
far as where we're going, you know, it'd be nice
to see I know that there's been discussions or there
will be about seeing what China can do as far
as trying to bring in Iran, because there have been rumors,
you know, that they've been supplying them secretly with arms,
and then if he can find a way to get
she to cut that off and knock that out, and like, look,
explain him. The Ron's just a bad actor. Guys, you

(19:45):
don't really want to be on their side. I know
you guys like to mess with us, but why don't
you just leave Iran alone and maybe we'll cut you
some deals on tariffs if you're willing to kind of
help us out on this part of it.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
all right, Jim, to the Middle East. Obviously, oil is
what we're focused on. The average person in America. I
don't think anybody's freaking out over you know, there are
some people that still think, oh my god, the Iran
can't have a nuclear weapon or whatever, but the reality
is it's prices. We're focusing on that and everybody's wondering

(20:18):
what's coming next, And that's a great question. Are we
going to do something? Are we not going to do something?
I feel like something's coming. At the same time, I wonder,
are we just gonna be in this eternal standoff waiting
to find out who blinks first?

Speaker 6 (20:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (20:32):
I don't think so. I don't Trump's nott a patient person.
I don't see him be willing to sit there and
do that for very long. I think this has probably
required a lot of patients in counseling by his advisors to.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Him to be patient and that you can wake them out.

Speaker 21 (20:45):
You know, I keep hearing every week how bad the
Iranian economy is, how the people are angry about this.
They haven't taken to the streets yet because they know
they're going to get shot by the Iranian National or
the Iranian Guard Corp.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
If they do.

Speaker 21 (20:58):
So that you know, until that happened, and there really
isn't going to be changed in Iran. But yes, there
has been some rumors that something may happen while Trump
is in China, that he's going to try to show
the try to show the Iranians. You know that that
that he means, you know, that he's serious about this.
But yeah, and we've also been you know, kind of
in a different idea. We've also understand that we're meeting

(21:20):
with Cuba, and we've been doing over flights of security
planes and reconnaissance planes over Cuba. So I think maybe
he wants to get a run cleaned up because he
wants to go after Cuban next. I mean, come on,
Marco Rubio needs a new job. The man is bored.
He hasn't had a new job in a couple of months.
Down he's got to pick up that that. You know
that the head of Cuba job too. But but no, seriously,

(21:41):
back to Iran. Yeah, I think there is something coming
with them, and we need to get something going because
this is costing us a lot of money and Trump
also knows it's costing and political capital. Every day we
get closer to the midterms. We are the inside of
one hundred and eighty days now to the midterms. This
is going to cost them. The quicker this gets wrapped up,
the better this will be for him when it comes

(22:01):
to the midterms. And again, it will lessen the pain
like for example, California, even though we're very rich in oil,
we're down to about I think about a four week
supply a foreign oil company because like the last tanker
that came out of the Straits of Hormuza has docked
in California, because we're unfortunately importing a phenomenal amount of
oil in this state, even though we sit on one of

(22:22):
the larger oil reserves in America, because we don't do
we don't produce oil anymore.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
We've and over the.

Speaker 21 (22:27):
Last thirty years, oil production in California has dropped for
about a million barrels a day to about two hundred
and fifty thousand barrels a day due to environmental restrictions
and just general activities by the California and state government
to basically shut down a o production.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
Oil is evil in California.

Speaker 21 (22:42):
So that's going to be a real large problem in
the largest state in the country if we run out
of oil. That's if you think things are bad now,
you haven't begun to see.

Speaker 6 (22:51):
What's gonna happen when that starts happening.

Speaker 21 (22:53):
Because not only do we supply California refineries, also supply
all of Nevada and at least half of the oil
in Arizona. You're talking about three states they're gonna be
affected by this. So yeah, something needs to break pretty
soon or there's gonna be a lot more follow on effects.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Bug Policy Research, Jim,
let's quickly talk about California, the race that everybody's paying
attention to. You know, let's spincher Brats brought a ton
of people to the eyes on Los Angeles. Mayor Bass
became famous for, you know, being so awful at her

(23:27):
job that a good portion of the city burnt down,
and so this is an interesting thing. They're starting to
come hard for him now though they're trying to you know,
the you can feel the wheels starting to turn in
the machine that is the teachers' unions and whatnot, because
stuff starting to leak out. That's, oh, that's kind of embarrassing.

(23:48):
That's kind of odd. But that being said, it doesn't
matter at this point because if you vote for Karen
Bass or Nitia Again, I keep saying, I'd rather have
Top as my mayor than Nythia. The reality is they're
so awful at their job. I don't give a rats
ask that he wants to shoot a reality show while

(24:08):
he's doing, you know, his mayor stuff. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
Yeah, I agree, hundred percent. I don't care what you know.

Speaker 21 (24:14):
Sure of him literally like you know, having a body
in the back of his car, and even at.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
That point, who is the person? What did they do?
You know, observant, it's just oh god, it's insane.

Speaker 21 (24:29):
But it just points out how bad Los Angeles is,
and it's like, yeah, I mean, I agree that we're
at a point where look, yes, you know, right now,
the greater problem in Los Angeles is not that the
current mayor may get reelected after she burned down ten
thousand homes, can't solve the homeless crisis, can't solve the
drug problem in Los Angeles, not to mention the crime

(24:49):
and the other problems and in the general unaffordability of
the city and people fleeing it just because it's become
a dumpster fire. That the option is well, but I
can't vote for a guy that is probably a Trump
supporter and is a failed TV actor. It's like, oh
my god, I couldn't vote for him. I've got to
go for the lady that burned the city down, or
for the lady that's probably that goes out and blames

(25:11):
Toyota because there was a rash of catalytic converter thefts,
and she said that the victims were actually the people
stealing them because they were just too easy and they
were just sitting there, and how can they let them
go when they when they're poor and they're down trodden,
and they've been you know, they've they've been discriminated against.
They needed money, so they just stole the catadic converters.
And if Toyota hadn't made it so easy, they wouldn't

(25:31):
have been able to do that. Those are the options
in Los Angeles right now. And I'm sorry, but the
failed actor and the guy that may have been a
Trump voter, it's still the highest guy on my list
because at least he hasn't screwed up and he's not
going to screw the city up. He generally wants to
make change in LA. He really wants to make things better.
Now at this point, you've got to give him a
chance because the people that you've picked that were supposed

(25:53):
to be the experts in running LA have been an
absolute unmitigated disaster, and it's time to make a change
because continuing to do the same thing over and over
is not productive and it's not working out. We got
to make a change in LA. This is a time
for it. And if you don't, then you might as
well turn the keys in and the cities.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
Just just give up on the staty and just turn
it over to a third world country, because that's what
it's going to become.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Absolutely. Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy answered to PULK Policy Research. Jim, Now,
alien stuff that came out last week interesting ish. I mean,
there was some neat stuff in there, but there was
nothing groundbreaking. But supposedly tomorrow another dump is coming and
this one has some stuff in there that I continue
to say they're easing everybody into this because if you've

(26:38):
met human beings, you realize they can kind of freak out.
So easing some stuff into this and in this new one,
there is supposed to be some how should we say this,
some messages that seem to be quite unsettling, if you will,

(26:58):
for humanity.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Last week maybe just you know, again an appetizer, But
now it feels like they're going to start ramping some
stuff up.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
Well, that would be hopeful, because I've so far been
highly disappointed.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
What you'd be hopeful. I'd be hopeful if that was real,
they say they're gonna come down here at any moment
and shoot us.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Oh, they probably wouldn't shot us.

Speaker 21 (27:18):
They'd probably enslave us and then you know, make us
food or something, make us into slurry or something. But yeah, no,
absolutely that it's I guess I've been disappointed in what's
come out so far. You know, it's been stuff that's
already kind of been floated around. The messages would be interesting,
though again they could be scary. And yes, we have
agreed that people can tend to be tend to be

(27:38):
stupid these type of situations, and like I said.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
Hey, I want to know all of it.

Speaker 21 (27:43):
I would prefer that we don't find I mean, I
prefer that they we don't find out that that that
we're on their menu coming up in forty years, that
they're gonna be here after they cleaned out twelve other
planets that you know there were there were thirteenth on
the list when they run out of food and resources
that had come after us. But again, you know, Stephen
Hawking said that if aliens do show up on our doorstep,

(28:03):
it's probably not going to mean good news.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
For for for Earth.

Speaker 21 (28:07):
Because they're going to have the ability to travel, you know,
across space time that we clearly don't right now, and
therefore they're going to be way advanced more than we are,
and we're going to be at their mercy that hopefully
they're a benevolent group of people that wish to you know,
that want to be friends with us and not want
to make us their slaves or they're you know, become
our overlords, or or you know, take all the trees

(28:27):
or the iridium or whatever mineral they need from our planet, cobalt,
whatever it is.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
So yeah, I'm looking for the thing. You know what
I'm kind of been thinking.

Speaker 21 (28:35):
If they're going to keep doing these every Friday, is
that wouldn't you drop the big stuff on the Friday
before Memorial Day?

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, because you got.

Speaker 21 (28:42):
The three day weekend. A lot of people may you know,
you have a lot of time to kind of chew
on it. Maybe you have your last holiday before the
aliens show up and enslave us. Give them one good
three day weekend. You know, America loves the three day weekend.
Give us the last three day weekend before you know
the end of our life.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
For the most part, before before they come down and
take well, end of our lives. This because they're taking
us elsewhere, because we're going to be in their zoo.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 21 (29:06):
Yes, that is an episode of the of the of
the TV show, So yes, absolutely, that is one of
those Oh who knows it.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
Is really interesting.

Speaker 21 (29:16):
He brings up so many thoughts, and it's certain I
mean regardless. I mean maybe short of the nuclear weapon
being being created in nineteen forty five, even going to
the Moon I think would be is less impactful than
if we really do find out that there are aliens
and they are necessarily coming forth, but they are going
to visit. That would be an absolute sea change for Earth,

(29:40):
whether it's a good sea change and they help us
advance as a society or a bad sea change, because
again they come here and want to eat us. They
want us to be their dinner or their food source
going forward. However it works out, it would be not
earth shattering, as the word I want to use, but
it will be, you know, the most disruptive event probably
in the history of the planet.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
So maybe because of that.

Speaker 21 (30:00):
You know, they've been you know, they've been kind of
easing it out. Trump did promise he was going to
release the stuff.

Speaker 6 (30:05):
So they have been. They have been doing it.

Speaker 21 (30:07):
But again this so far has been pretty much, you know,
pretty weak sauce stuff. Nothing that's been all that that
earth shattering show we say so far, so yeah, but again,
if it's bad news, boy, that's.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
Not gonna be good. Surely isn't gonna help the midterms
at all. That's that's that's a.

Speaker 2 (30:20):

we got a new segment as Hat of the Week
and we've got a plethora of people that are absolutely
the worst. We will discuss that straight ahead. Chad Benson, jow.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Deep States, No Deep doo doo. Yeah, the chat Fanson.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Show, No, What's time for ass hat of the week.
These are the people that truly are some of the
worst of the worst, don't we is such a ding?
We start in Irvine, California. Why because this seventy one
year old man, Randall Birch decided he didn't like the

(32:43):
new little ducklings because they were annoying him, so he
was going to kill them.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
He whizz past me really fast, and he said, oh.

Speaker 7 (32:51):
I managed to be able to get five of them
out of the pool, but they ran into the bushes
and they might be a little banged up, but they're okay.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yeah, they weren't a little banged up. Randy there gathered
up the ducklings because he lived next to the pool.
A short time later, he used plastic trash bin and
then smashed the ducklings and then threw the animals away.
One of the ducklings is dead, another one at severe
head trauma, and he or it are currently in rehab.

(33:22):
He has been arrested, Thank goodness. What a scumbag. Randall
faces several charges, including what they call a wobbler offense,
which means it could be a misdemeanor or a felony.
Based on the severity of the act. He could face
anywhere between sixteen months to three years in the California prison.

(33:47):
Douche bag onward, we'd move to Hawaii.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Why would you do?

Speaker 22 (33:54):
A rockety h?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
That right there is Igor Litinovich, thirty eight, Washington State
scumbag on vacation picks up a giant rock and hurls
it at the Hawaiian monk seal, a protected species. If
you've not seen him, he's kind of gone viral, and
not in a good way. He faces federal charges. And

(34:16):
what makes him even more of an ass hat is
he said, and I quote, I'm rich, find me there
you go. Yeah, solid individual. And finally, the third candidate
for ass hat of the Week Chud the Builder.

Speaker 23 (34:38):
Look at his Look at him?

Speaker 2 (34:44):
So Chud the Builder. His big influential thing where he's
got some two hundred thousand followers on Twitter, is he's
a racist scumbag who goes around yelling racist things at people,
starting fights. He was arrested on Sunday for not paying
your bill or trying to skip out of a restaurant
like a four hundred dollars bill. And then just a

(35:05):
few days ago, he uh picked a fight, I guess,
got into the fight at the Montgomery County Court Complex
in Clarksville, right outside of Nashville, shot somebody as well
as himself, and he's now been charged with attempted murder.
These are your three ass hats of the week. You

(35:26):
decide let me know three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benton Show, Sure acts,
your Insta YouTube and more love hanging from all of
you right here on the Chad Benton Show. Coming up,
our number two of the program, I'm gonna talk some
World Cup more on Trump's big Beijing trip. Now what

(35:47):
when it comes to Iran, because that's what everybody's going
to be looking at and Scotus. Big cases are coming down,
huge cases, including birthright citizenship. What's going to happen with
the abortion pill. They put a stay on it yesterday
as far as the lower court ruling blocking it, but

(36:09):
that ain't over. They could rule at any moment. We'll
talk about that. That's your urban word today, among other things,
reach out to as across all of our social media our
number two straight ahead Chat Pinson Chap.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
The vacation is over, Trump and everybody back home. What's now?
Will the Straits of Horror moves be open? Will it
not be open this weekend? Next weekend? Is there gonna
be some new thing that's gonna have to happen? All
great questions drump.

Speaker 24 (37:11):
Penny commitments to put pressure on the Iranians to reopen
the Straight to four movies.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
I'm not asking for any favors, because when you ask
for favors, you have to do favors in return. We
don't need favors. The holes have to put pressure because
I don't know. I don't need favors. I think he will.
I think automatically he'd like to see.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
It opened up.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
He gets about forty percent of his energy or soil
from that. You know from this we get none.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Then that's not true. We do get some, about eight percent,
about five hundred thousand barrels a day. We get through
the Middle East and the Gulf majority Iraq, Saudi Arabia,
and the United Arab of Emirates and fifty percent of
it go to the West coast, California being obviously the

(38:03):
big recipient of that. That being said, the question is
what's next. Cuba may fall, okay, that's okay. Is that
going to bring down inflations? That going to bring down
oil prices? I can see gas prices fall and us
get back to, you know, hoping and praying that life

(38:25):
becomes more affordable. Is that going to happen? Because if not,
great that that's going to happen for the people of Cuba,
but for us, we're looking around asking the question of Okay,
we got into this war. I didn't think we should

(38:45):
get into it, you guys know that. That being said,
we're here, what now, what's next? That's what people want
to know. I don't know when. I don't think it's
if anymore. I don't think Trump can afford and the

(39:06):
people of America could afford, no matter how much he
tries to talk about, well, the short term pain is
going to be worth it for the long term gain
of them not getting a nuclear weapon, because he's you know,
pretty sure they were going to do that. But my

(39:27):
thought is, hey, I don't know if they were, or
weren't if you go by our intelligence, they weren't even
efforting to get one. They weren't. But put all that aside.
If you fear this group of people we're going to

(39:48):
get a nuclear weapon, and we're not getting rid of
this group of people, then what's to make you think
that they're not going to effort to get one in
the future, just like little common sense? Oh yeah, the
same people that we don't trust, we are not fully
getting rid of, and we may have actually made them stronger.

(40:11):
And even if they open up the straight and they
say they're not going to what's uh to make them
think that they're And and this is for Israel. Trump
even admitted right talking to Handity, this was for Israel. Okay,
I said yesterday, this is the way. As I've said,

(40:33):
this is a generational thing. And I said this yesterday,
and several of you have chimed in on this, and
I said, take Israel and move it to another part
of the world. Okay, put it in you. I said,
put it next to Sweden. And I said, do you
think we would have gone in after Iran if Israel

(40:56):
was next to Sweden? And several of you texts and
not just on this show, but also I did the
same thing on my local show and said, no, we
wouldn't what we probably would have attacked Sweden. I said
that right, there is everything that you need to know,

(41:17):
not that they would attack Sweden, but that Israel was
the big push to get this done. And because of that, now,
not just us, but globally, there are so many issues
and those issues are going to ramp up. And we've

(41:38):
talked about the domino effect that's about to come. Let
me know what you think three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your extra instant all the other things. We have a
recession in this country and has nothing to do with
financial as all to do with reading. This is an
education bomb. So our report card is out. Kind of

(42:03):
funny that they say that, And this is our reading scores.
Our reading scores are awful, and it's not just because
of COVID. COVID played a role. Are mass scores awful?
Not just because of COVID. So from the NAEP and

(42:26):
this is the nation's report card, fourth and eighth grade.
Their scores are down about five points since twenty nineteen.
Eighth grade math scores are down nine points, which is
roughly close to losing a full grade level of progress.

(42:46):
And this part right here is the most worrying part.
Thirty five percent of twelfth graders are considered proficient readers.
I'm going to read that to you again. Only thirty
five percent of twelfth graders, so they're getting out, they're graduating,
are considered proficient readers. What the hell is going on?

(43:16):
You want to talk about a crisis? Holy Mother of Goodness. Now,
it's not just that we don't read like we used to.
I mean, we can all talk about some of the
things social media. You know, phones are in front of us.
We're getting dumber because we have a brain in our
hand that can do anything we ask it to do.
But there's more to it than that comprehension. People just

(43:37):
don't comprehend, and there's a difference from people who are.
It's not just about can you read the word. So
my little brother Dakota, who is nineteen, maybe twenty, he is,
he's on the spectrum. He's got microcephale. You know, he's

(43:59):
a sweet kid. He's a good kid. When he was younger,
he could read even as a seventh or eighth grader
at a twelfth grade level didn't know what any of
the words meant. For the most part though, didn't understand.
You know, you could give him a word like just literacy,

(44:22):
and he'd be like, he could read literacy, but he
may not know what the hell literacy is. So there
is a lot of issues here. And the states that
are doing okay, you know what they did. They threw
away the crap that they were trying to teach them

(44:44):
based on the touchy feely way that things have been
taught for the last several years. And you look at
places like Louisiana, Mississippi. What's happening there? Their scores are
going up. Now, I said that, how lot Louisiana and Mississippi.
Why they went back to phonics teach you how to read?

Speaker 6 (45:03):
Why?

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Because this science says this is the way it works. Also,
they went back to regular old math because math got weird. Right,
two plus two is x right, but we would go
it's four. They would be like, prove it out, okay,

(45:26):
but here's the story. To prove it out. You have
two genders, but these two over here are different genders
that don't line up with these two genders that would
go all the way around for you to come up
with four, and all it did was confused kids. Yes,

(45:50):
COVID played a role in some of these things, there's
no doubt. But when you look at this, and this
is a big snapshot, it wasn't just COVID. The number
were down long before that. We throw more money than
any other country in the world at school, at education,

(46:16):
and we're not getting our money's worth. And I'm going
to say this, I don't blame the teachers. Are there
bad teachers, of course, there's bad everything, the administration, the
wacky school boards that come up with these insane things.
They're like, this hasn't worked. Well, let's throw some more
money at it. Yet these things are the issues, and

(46:43):
there's other things too. Let's you know, you're teaching in
some of these big cities, let's say parts of New York, Chicago,
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle. You may have thirty five
kids in your classroom on average, and on average ten

(47:05):
or fifteen of them may speak English as their first language,
and half of the other ones don't speak English at all,
So you can't expect it to be perfect. But there's
no doubt that there is a serious issue and it
is a crisis. And the fact that only thirty five
percent of twelfth graders, think about that can read proficiently.

(47:33):
I bet if we broke it down as far as adults,
people in their thirties and forties, I bet half people
can't read proficiently. That's scary. That is a problem America
that we need to get on. Three two, three, five,

(47:54):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show
is your extra insta YouTube and all of the other
good things. Hope all of you are well. Coming up,
talk a little bit about Scotus. Got some big cases

Speaker 1 (49:49):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
It's getting close to opinion season. It's scouters a Supreme
Court the United States of America. There's still a lot
of big opinions out there. One of which that will
come down I think sooner rather than later, is the
mifel pristo, the abortion pill. There's a lot of stuff
still out there, but this one could come down sooner

(50:14):
rather than later. Here we are again.

Speaker 8 (50:15):
This time the suit is brought by the State of Louisiana,
which says they are challenging access to mifipristone under these
guidelines developed by the Biden administration to allow women to
seek the pill via telemedicine, to pick it up by
out a pharmacy, or to receive it in the mail.
It's greatly expanded access. That's how it's been for the
past five years. But the State of Louisiana says it
wasn't safely studied, it was not implemented properly. Therefore it's illegal,

(50:39):
and they got the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to
agree with them.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
They did, but that was blocked by the Supreme Court
at least four Now again, there's going to be a
lot of cases that are going to get dumped upon.
Some of them, you have no I think there's thirty
outstanding cases. Some of them are bigger than others, but
this is definitely a big one.

Speaker 8 (51:01):
People have been able to access the pill online from
a doctor, from a provider, get it in the mail.
It is the most commonly formed method of abortion in
the United States. We're told one in four women who
get an abortion today get the medication from telemedicine.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
It's just how it's gone.

Speaker 8 (51:17):
So if the Supreme Court does allow that block to
take effect, the pill would still be available. You just
women who need it and seek it would have to
get it in person at a doctor's office, and many
abortion rights advocacy that's a significant barrier for a lot
of women in a lot of states.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
What they're arguing is it's really so Louisiana is saying
it's not safe via telehealth because that's how a lot
of people get it. You don't have to go in person,
and then it wasn't studied enough. That's their go too,
because the goal is to make sure that they don't
want any abortion whatsoever, and so they're trying to figure

(51:55):
out how they can work this in. What do I
think is going to happen? I have a fear they're
going to rule all you know to keep it. But
we're going to find out. And again there's a lot
of other big cases out there coming, but this is definitely,
you know, since since the DoD decision, this is huge,
and many states are chipping away at it. In some states,

(52:18):
as we've talked about before three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, your X,
your Insta and everything else ready on the Chad Benson Show,
Kansas being maybe the most surprising of all, which is
as I say, it is in the you know, it's
the belt buckle of the Bible belt. And they put
it to the people and allowed them to vote on it,

(52:41):
and they voted to keep abortion legal. And I think
a lot of states at South, especially if they did that,
I think they'd be surprised how people would vote on it.
Let me know what you think. And obviously there's some
massive cases still out there. The Trump versus Barbera probably
the biggest birthright citizenship That is the one that is

(53:04):
the monster case that's left out there, and it's a behemoth,
let's be real, and that is deciding whether President Trump's
executive order limiting birthright citizenship is constitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment.
So this could redefine who's automatically a citizen. And this

(53:25):
would be as far as you know, some of the
stuff we have seen in the past, as big, if
not bigger than Dodd. So because if this was allowed,
that means that if you're born here, right, so somebody
comes here and you're born here, you're not a citizen

(53:46):
automatically anymore. That's huge, where even with the DoD case
it goes back to the States. So this is going
to be real. That one's the big one. A couple
other ones out there, you know, transgenders and sports things
of that nature as well, but no doubt the birthright

(54:09):
citizenship is the biggest one of them all. Coming up,
we talk a little World Cup. You're a baby. We'll
do that straight ahead, Chad Benson Show, then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Twenty seven days and counting. It's the world's biggest sporting
event and it's coming to America. It's time to talk.

Speaker 8 (54:55):
Would come about that, Perrerah?

Speaker 6 (55:01):
How did this?

Speaker 2 (55:04):
What of the rights sharia right across too? We haven't
been able to control the play in midfield? Why that
Maradona has been able to do?

Speaker 6 (55:16):
They had to.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Solomon til Can win the World Cup for Argentina with
this kick. Yes, twenty seven days and counting to the
kickoff of the World Cup. Here and these here are
the United States of America getting absolutely pumped. One of
the big reasons I'm gett pumped is because it's starting

(55:42):
to get real, real now, because the teams are announcing
the squads, which gets me pumped because you're like, Okay,
now it's getting real. Teams, trainers and sports staff have
already started to arrive in several parts of the country.

(56:04):
But we've got some big announcement coming out of two
of the better teams, one of them the favorite, I
would have to say, which is France. A couple surprises
with France. They have left off one of their studs

(56:25):
that I think surprised everybody when they made this announcement.
So Eduardo Camavenga has been left off of the squad.
He plays for Real Madrid, had a little bit of
an injury prone season, but was in their squad four
years ago when they lost. He's still only twenty three
years old, which has to be a kick in the grundle.

(56:49):
And Lucas Chevalier has also been left out he's the
Perry Saint jerm Angolie who has been left off the squad.
That right there was I think a surprise though. Cama
Vinga not being on the squad though is huge, huge
because he did have a great year. But it's not

(57:12):
like he didn't play. And this again is the I
would say between them and Spain easily head and shoulders
depth wise above everybody else. In fact, France could field
three teams and all of them compete in the World
Cup for a chance to actually get into the final.

(57:35):
That's how good they are. Belgium announced their squad. No
real big shockers here. The question is can they make
up for their disappointment? Did the Golden Generation come and
go without any trophies. They'll have their top goal scorer
of all time, Romulul Lacaku. I think this is his

(57:56):
what fourth World Cup. They'll have Kevin de Runer, Solvitzel
and their giant keeper Thibau Courtois. But Jeremy Doku is
the player that if you've not seen him play, he
plays for Man City.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
He is.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Amazing and he's on the team. So this will be fun. Man.
We're just getting going, kids, We're just getting going. Speaking
of getting going, we've been looking back at previous World Cups, chaos,
craziness and fun that was and this World Cup two
thousand and ten, so it's been four years removed since
Italy beats France in the chaotic game and it was

(58:39):
chaotic final and since then two thousand and eight European Championship.
Spain introduces the world to tikitaka, this style of play
that's incredible, one of the favorites, and argue the greatest

(59:01):
team along with the Dutch to never win the World
Cup heading into twenty ten, and twenty ten also gave
us the greatest World Cup song of all. Was quite
a year for her, Shakira, because you see during the
making of this video she meets Gerard p K. They
would go on to have a what ten eleven year relationship,
have a couple kids. But she is the queen of

(59:24):
the World Cup songs.

Speaker 12 (59:25):
Waka waka during a sta choosing your bath, pack yourself
up and dust yourself up and back in the sad.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
You're on the front.

Speaker 11 (59:47):
Everyone's wat you know it's series.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
We're getting closer.

Speaker 17 (59:51):
This is an over.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
The precious femal.

Speaker 11 (59:57):
You gotta believe winn Pulgon up.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Because this is Africa. That's right. It is the Waca
waka song, this time for Africa because South Africa was
hosting the World Cup, first African nation to host the
World Cup. Thirty two teams in the twenty ten World
Cup from all over the globe. You had thirteen European

(01:00:33):
teams including Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
and Switzerland, New Zealand. Coming out of the Oceanic Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay,
United States, Mexico and Honduras. Africa gave US six South

(01:00:54):
Africa as the host, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon in
Algeria and four from the Asian Region Australia, Japan, North Korea,
South Korea. It was an amazing World Cup. There were goals,
it was fun. The Cream rose to the top. The

(01:01:15):
United States scored an amazing goal to push them through.
But at the end of the day it was going
to be one of those World Cups where you could
already tell something special was going to happen. There was
no doubt about that, because everybody seemed to be healthy
and at full strength. You had Ronaldo getting into his prime.

(01:01:38):
You had Brazil flying around with Rolandinho. You had Spain
that were incredible. You had the Netherlands who dominated their group.
South Africa, oddly enough, was the first host team not
to advance out of the group ever, which sucks because

(01:02:04):
you know what you want to you know, it's like anything,
even when you watch the Olympics, you want the host
nation to do well. So then we get to the
round of sixteen, Uruguay, South Korea. They meet up. Uruguay
gets by South Korea, United States, Ghana. We lose two
to one in extra time, put up a hell of
a match. Netherlands slow Vakia. Netherlands gets by Slovakia, Brazil Chile.

(01:02:30):
Brazil wins three nil. They take on the Dutch in
the quarterfinals. Germany gets by England. Mexico gets stumped by Argentina.
Germany Argentina Cape Town for the other quarterfinals. Spain gets

(01:02:50):
by Portugal and Ronaldo. They take on Paraguay, who beat
Japan in penalties. In the quarterfinals. Spain wins one nothing,
setting up a semi final against Germany. Who absolutely throttled Argentina.
The Dutch get by Brazil, and Uruguay gets by Ghana,

(01:03:13):
setting up a semifinal of Spain Germany Netherlands Uruguay. Netherlands
Uruguay three to two. Spain gets by Germany, setting up
a World Cup final with the Spanish, who are currently
the European champions, taking on the Dutch, easily the two
greatest nations to never win the World Cup. After they

(01:03:38):
play ninety minutes, they go into extra time and with
literally the last kick of the ball, little Enniesta, arguably
the greatest Spanish player, does this. Syne Estra's in the
middle all alone.

Speaker 11 (01:03:55):
If Fernando Taurus can find him, it's stubbed away up
comfortably to Fabrica.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Surely now, surely.

Speaker 11 (01:04:03):
Now Spain of what the World Cup for the first
time in history.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Yes they did, Spain wins the World Cup, won nothing.
They would go on to win the European Cup, hold
on to it four years later as their Golden generation
does exactly what the Golden Generation is supposed to do,
which was win Monday. We'll look at the twoy fourteen
World Cup. But this World Cup had goals, It had

(01:04:33):
an amazing atmosphere and an annoying one as well, because
it also gave us the loud and annoying fuvsela. And
that's when you hear that.

Speaker 6 (01:04:48):
It was awful.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
It was awful. They banned them from the stadiums after
this World Cup, thank God for that. But an amazing
World Cup and I enjoyed it tremendously and I look
for twenty fourteen. We're getting close. Like I said, we're
less than a month away from it the World Cup,
and I am pumped. And come Monday, where we have

(01:05:10):
a lot more news about teams and the announcements that
are coming, including what will Brazil do with Neymar? He
is on the provisional roster right now. And if you
guys don't know who Neymar is, he is the guy
that when free flowing and doing his thing and healthy,

(01:05:35):
which he's had issues with, he was as good as
Ronaldo and Messi's thirty four now and the question is
he going to be on the team. He's kind of health.
He's playing back in Brazil, and their manager, Carlo Angelotti,

(01:05:55):
who's probably number one or two as far as great
managers of all time, has said, you know, I've got
to do it's best for the team. At the same time, yes,
he's a great player, we know all the stuff, but
it's also about the locker room, and he is loved
in the locker room, which is one of the reasons

(01:06:17):
he may come. So it's going to be exciting. I'm pumped.

Speaker 22 (01:08:39):
Show Running with Scissors sounds great compared to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
This, say shall we get our edgumication on. Seeing as
a lot of people out there are struggling with reading,
as we found out earlier in the program, maybe it's
time that we help them with words that they don't know,
a translation, if you will. Based on the fact that
the younger generation seems to speak a different language. Now

(01:09:14):
it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
It's called the urban word of the day. All right here,
Urban word of the day. This is very much a
gen alpha thing, okay, mad lit mad lit. That is
basically saying cool like that's cool, like that is mad

(01:09:44):
lit again, I don't know. I didn't make it up.
I just want you guys to understand what it is
mad lit. So if you hear somebody, maybe you got
a grand kid over or your kids, and they say
that's mad lit, it means it's cool. If they called
you mad lit, which they probably won't. Mostly we get

(01:10:06):
called cringe. But if you do get called mad lit,
know that that is a good thing. Mad lit is
your urban word of the day. That was the urban
word of the day. Now, you know, speaking of mad lit.
See what I did there. Now, if you guys know
anything about Trump, maybe you do, maybe don't. He wants

(01:10:29):
to make sure he's the biggest and the best at everything.
It's the greatest. These meetings, they've never been better, you know,
the thing that he does. So you know, it's our
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary and there's going to be
a party in DC. Well, Trump is planning to smash
the world fireworks record. No, yeah, So the spectacle is

(01:10:58):
going to be twice as long as last year. Okay,
I just want you guys to understand this is going
to be massive. So the initiative, of course, you know,
it's Freedom two fifty. So leading the event is Pennsylvania
based Piro Technico. They're going to run the show. Their

(01:11:22):
director of marketing tells Axios, we're shooting to break the record.
What is the record for the largest biggest fireworks show
of all time? That would be twenty sixteen in the Philippines,
eight hundred and ten thousand, nine hundred and four fireworks.

(01:11:43):
Trump wants to make sure he tops that. So I'm
assuming it's going to be knowing him, it may be
a million. I don't know, but that's what he wants,
and so that's what he's going to get. Feels like
it's going to be a long time, right, doesn't it.
I like fireworks for two minutes and then we're moving on.

(01:12:07):
Let me know what you think. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson show your ex,
your Insta and everything else. Love hearing from all of
your righty in the Chad Benson Shoe coming up our
number three last hour of the week. You know, there
is a famous commercial that it's annoying and guess what,

(01:12:29):
in California, they got themselves in some trouble and they
won't be hearing the song that plays. We're gonna talk
a little bit about that. More on Trump's trip to China,
as well as what happens next with Iran. We'll talk
a bit about that as well. Plus we've got the
results of the assht of the Week, the first one.

(01:12:50):
We'll give you that little What's trending, and your finally
Friday Sounds, and so much more. Hour number three, Straight ahead,
Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Trump Home, Iran defeated.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
We had a total military victory. We knocked out in
their entire name, we knocked out their entire air force.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
I don't know how many times we've beaten Iran. It
feels like we've beaten them a lot. Here's what we
care about, so is the straits. Are they get to
get open like Zoom like China. China is gonna help
us with that. Trump said, Now, I don't worry.

Speaker 6 (01:14:03):
We don't.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
We don't. We don't need any help from old Johina
over there. O g It's president.

Speaker 24 (01:14:08):
She make any firm commitments to put pressure on the
Iranians to reopen the straight to FOW movies.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
I'm not asking for any favors. First, when you ask
for favors, you have to do favorites. Ship Ring Jared,
we don't need favors. Peoples have to put pressure because
I don't. I don't need favors. I think he will.
I think automatically he'd like to see it opened up.
He gets about forty percent of his energy or soil
from that, you know from this straight.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
We get none. Well, we get about ten percent. So
that's not totally true. That being said, why would she
help us? Look, if you were to ask me and
you guys want they go check it out. What did
I tell you guys yesterday? Once they leave, we'll really
get a sense of how both sides feel this went

(01:15:00):
and what was really said. So you can go look
at the readouts. So both sides have the readouts of
the messages. So things that you know Trump said when
you read the message from China in their readouts, that

(01:15:21):
wasn't either a talked about or if they did discuss something,
it was very minimal. On the other side of things,
they are positioning it is this is a win for
us here in China. This is a victory for us.
They came to us, this is a victory for us,

(01:15:45):
So take it for what it's worth. I don't think China,
even if we ask them, I don't think they're gonna help.

Speaker 25 (01:15:50):
Not right now they are allies. China provides a lot
of support to Iran or Iran sells a majority of
its oil to China. Ultimately, Iran views the straight up
from moves and it's only real leverage point. They can't
actually fight the United States military. They're completely overmatched. So
even with the pressure of President she it's unlikely that

(01:16:12):
Iran would do this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Why why would they at this moment in time do this.
They wouldn't. Now Trump can sit there and say, well,
they were gonna get a new clear they're gonna do well.
You are telling everybody who agrees with you, because at
this point in time, it is a older generation. That

(01:16:35):
is the ones who are I think, in some ways
kind of seeking that nineteen seventy nine you embarrassed us,
so we're getting back at you. And the average person
doesn't care. They're not worried about Iran, and they look
at this as something we didn't need to be involved with,

(01:16:57):
and now we're involved in it, and it's costing us.
It's costing us not just at the gas station, it's
costing us at the grocery store. It's going to be
costing us when it comes to having things delivered, even
from Amazon, because why fuel surchargers are going up. It's
costing you at restaurants, if you go to restaurants, it's
costing you in everything. And we're going to start to
feel it more and more. So you can spin it

(01:17:20):
that somehow this was going to be the great save
of all mankind, but most people aren't buying it, not
right this second, they aren't. But there is good news
though for those of you who want to see a
regime fall Cuba could be done sooner rather than later.

Speaker 20 (01:17:43):
This surprise, unannounced trip to Cuba comes at a time
of some of the worst tensions between the United States
and Cuba that we have seen in generations, as a
US oil embargo continues to put near unprecedented strain on
the island, choking off its fuel supply. Blackouts, which have
long been a proper on the island, are now worse
than ever. Just yesterday, half the island's power grid failing.

(01:18:04):
And we know Donald Trump has threatened military action against
the island for months now.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Yes, so the CIA director paid a visit to Cuba.
Looks like they're going to try to indict Raul Castro.
John Radcliffe led a US delegation to Havana to meet
with Cuba's government officials Thursday. They're close to crumbling. They've

(01:18:30):
got nothing. They're blackouts, they're out in mass banging pots
and pants. I mean, this is a real issue that
they've had for years, right, the blackouts and some of
these things. It's never gotten to this point. Though this point,
there is nothing and it is close to boiling over.

(01:18:51):
There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 20 (01:18:52):
CIA Director John Radcliffe heading down to the island with
a message to tell the Cuban government to stop being
what a senior CIA official called a national security threat.
Rodcliffe telling the Cubans they need to stop allowing adversaries
like China and Russia unfettered access to the island. The
Cubans for their part of knowledging publicly the meeting took
place and saying they told the CIA they pose no

(01:19:14):
such threat.

Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
It's hard to pose a threat when there's nothing there.
It's the others that pose the threat. The China, the Russians,
you know, they they they're the ones supposed you guys,
nobody's worried about you. Cuba. You have nothing, You don't
have anything you've been This is it. I mean, they're
done for so how excited is markot Rubia today? He's

(01:19:38):
gonna be the king of Cuba. Could happen soon, you
don't know, It's possible. So lots going on, but we're
focused on what I mean this. This doesn't fix oil prices,
this doesn't fix inflation, This doesn't make healthcare cheaper. But
there's a good chance that Trump's fin I'm gonna get

(01:20:00):
that big resort he's been dreaming of in Havana three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your Acts, your Insta all the other things. It's
an annoying song. Everybody knows it, and now in California
you may not hear it anymore because maybe they weren't

(01:20:23):
being one hundred percent honest with the money. Now you
ready for this, they bring in a ton of money.
The song which you're gonna hear in a second, which
is absolutely an earworm of insanity. Got a lawsuit against
them in twenty twenty one, and now guess what they're

(01:20:47):
in trouble? Who oh, yes, one eight sevenus indeed them
Bruce Putterball brought a suit in twenty twenty one because
he wanted to track where the money went because he
was curious and guess what.

Speaker 17 (01:21:05):
What seven seven guys the kids do cut.

Speaker 23 (01:21:12):
Yeah, because kids are our future is what the text
on the bottom of the ad says. But he was
shocked to find out that the money doesn't go to
kids in California at all, instead goes to Cars for
Kids Sister Foundation Urrah, which is a Jewish organization based
in New Jersey that actually benefits teenagers. Now, this case
went to court in Orange County. The judge ruled that

(01:21:33):
ultimately Cars for Kids is using misleading practices and advertising
here in the state of California, which violates state law.
I want to show you some of the testimony that
was given in court, and this was in the judge's ruling.
The COO testify that the organization's primary purpose is not
to help economically disadvantaged children. The COO in court went
on to say programs include matchmaking for young adults and

(01:21:56):
gap year trips to Israel for seventeen and eighteen year olds.
That's where the majority of the funding is going, and
then also admitted that Cars for Kids operates no functional
programs in California except for a backpack giveaway that they
admitted it is also for marketing purposes and branding purposes.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Yeah crazy. By the way, forty five million dollars annually
is sent to the Jewish nonprofit that organizes those trips.
So bye, buy Cars for Kids in California A.

Speaker 23 (01:22:30):
I want to show you the response from Cars for Kids.
Cars for Kids says, we believe the decision is deeply flawed,
ignores the facts and misapplies the law.

Speaker 6 (01:22:38):
It's well known that.

Speaker 23 (01:22:38):
We are a Jewish organization, and our website makes it
abundantly clear. Take a look and judge for yourself. Then
they gave us the link to their website. Their statement
goes on to say, we believe this case was nothing
more than a lawyer driven attempt to siphon off charitable.

Speaker 6 (01:22:50):
Funds for their own gain.

Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
We expect to win.

Speaker 23 (01:22:53):
On appeal because the law and the facts are clearly
on our side. I want to point something out about
their first part of the statement that the judge directly addresses.

Speaker 18 (01:23:01):
Here.

Speaker 23 (01:23:01):
You saw in their statement look for yourself, go to
carsfokids dot org. But the judge says people that hear
this ad on the radio or TV, shouldn't have to
go to the website to understand exactly where the funds
are going. The judge says, the ads do not make
it clear that this is an organization benefiting Jewish children
in New Jersey, and in fact, none of the funds
are a very small amount of the funds are actually

(01:23:22):
benefiting kids here in California. Now, as you heard from
Cars for Kids, they plan to appeal, but this is
a long standing issue. In fact, this issue has already
been taken up in other states as well, and judges
and other states.

Speaker 6 (01:23:32):
Have ruled in similar manners.

Speaker 23 (01:23:34):
So we'll see how they do on appeal. But for now,
for kids commercials that we've all known for decades the
longer allowed to be played in California.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
So here's the interesting thing about this. Not only did
it send kids over there, it also spent almost seventeen
million dollars to buy a building in Israel so it
could span their presence there, which is crazy because you're remember,

(01:24:01):
this guy donated the car because he thought I was
gonna help kids in California. So any future ads in California,
it must now disclose its religious affiliation and its geographical location.
They also cannot include images of prebe bestent children, given
that several of urah's programs support young adults. What what

(01:24:28):
what w one eight hundred Bye bye. It's gonna be
stuck in your head all day for that. I apologize, kids, Oh,
I apologize, But I'll tell you what. Has there ever

loved somebody an obsession. Let's just say it goes really, really,
really wrong, so wrong. Critics give it a ninety five,
fans give it a ninety six. And this movie is
so incredible that Curry Barker, the writer and director, he's
just been handed the keys to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre,

(01:30:31):
reimagining and telling of the story and several other things.
It looks creepy if you've not seen her picture somebody
who's losing their mind, as well as having the smile
from that movie smile. It is frightening. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson's show

(01:30:51):
Trex your instat YouTube and more coming up. Jim Kennedy,
Kennedy Institute Public Calls their research, Chad.

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

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
That time of the week, we talk to our good buddy,
Jim Kennedy of the Kennedy Institute of Public Policy, researcher, politics,
the pop culture, a little bit of life. Uh, Jim,
I don't know if you're ware of this. Trump went
to China and met with the Chinese, and uh so
there was that I was. I was curious, though I
think everybody was shocked that China came out of the gate.

(01:31:45):
You know, Jean's like, look, it's the Taiwan's are issue,
stay out of it or else this is going to
get ugly.

Speaker 21 (01:31:52):
Yeah, it's not really surprising because they really have that
has been their attitude for a long time. The fact
that they brought it up with Trump is you know,
is again not surprised that they would that they would
do that.

Speaker 6 (01:32:05):
What's you know, you got Trump over there.

Speaker 21 (01:32:06):
It's interesting because you remember the guys by by definition
as a real estate developer, and for him to see
what China has done in the last twenty five or
fifty to twenty five years, for example, and how it's
you know, how it's grown and what has become in
the world markets and stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:32:21):
It really is interesting.

Speaker 21 (01:32:22):
And I'm sure that he has to look around and
look at a lot of that real estate stuff. I
need some Trump I need some Trump towers over here
in Beijing also.

Speaker 6 (01:32:31):
But yeah, it'll be.

Speaker 21 (01:32:32):
Interesting what comes out of these, you know, out of
these meetings. Trump and she'd got a little bit of
a bromance, at least I know on Trump's side. I'm
not sure that she did. I think she just kind
of thinks that he can use them for stuff, and
I'm not really sure that he actually can. But but yeah,
as far as where we're going, you know, it'd be
nice to see I know that there's been discussions or
there will be about seeing what China can do as

(01:32:54):
far as trying to bring in Iran, because there have
been rumors, you know, that they've been supplying them secretly
with arms, and then if he can find a way
to get sheet to cut that off and knock that out,
and like, look, explain to him, the runs just a
bad actor.

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
Guys, you don't really want to be on their side.

Speaker 21 (01:33:08):
I know you guys like to mess with us, but
why don't you just leave Iran alone and maybe we'll
cut you some deals on tariffs if you're willing to
kind of help us out on this.

Speaker 6 (01:33:15):
Part of it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research.
All right, Jim, the Middle East, obviously, oil is what
we're focused on the average person in America. I don't
think anybody's freaking out over you know, there are some
people that still think, oh my god, they ran can't
have a nuclear weapon or whatever, But the reality is
it's prices. We're focusing on that, and everybody's wondering what's

(01:33:41):
coming next, And that's a great question. Are we going
to do something? Are we not going to do something?
I feel like something's coming. At the same time, I wonder,
are we just gonna be in this eternal standoff waiting
to find out who blinks first?

Speaker 21 (01:33:56):
Yeah, I don't think so. Trump's not a patient person.
I don't see him being to sit there and do
that for for very long. I think this has probably
required a lot of patients in counseling by his advisors
to him to be patient and that you could.

Speaker 6 (01:34:08):
Wake them out.

Speaker 21 (01:34:09):
You know, I keep hearing every week how bad the
Iranian economy is, how how the people are.

Speaker 6 (01:34:13):
Are you angry about this?

Speaker 21 (01:34:16):
They haven't taken to the streets yet because they know
they're going to get shot by the Iranian National or
the Iranian Guard Corp if they do, so that you know,
until that happens, there really isn't going to be changed
in Iran. But yes, there has been some rumors that
something may happen while Trump is in China, that he's
going to try to show the try to show the Iranians,
you know, that that that he means, you know that

(01:34:38):
that he's serious about this. But yeah, and I've also
been you know, kind of in a different idea. We've
also understand that we're meeting with Cuba, and we've been
doing over flights of security planes and reconnaissance planes over Cuba.
So I think maybe he wants to get a run
cleaned up because he wants to go after Cuban next.
I mean, come on, Marco Rubio needs a new job.
The man is bored. He hasn't had a new job

(01:34:59):
in a couple of months. Down he's got to pick
up that.

Speaker 6 (01:35:02):
You know that the head of Cuba job too. But no, seriously,
back to Iran.

Speaker 21 (01:35:06):
Yeah, I think there is something coming with them, and
we need to get something going because this is costing
us a lot of money. And Trump also knows this
costing in political capital. Every day we get closer to
the midterms. We are the inside of one hundred and
eighty days now to the midterms.

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
This is going to cost them.

Speaker 21 (01:35:21):
The quicker this gets wrapped up, the better this will
be for him when it comes to the mid terms.
And again, it will lessen the pain like for example, California,
even though we're very rich in oil. We're down to
about I think about a four week supply of foreign
oil company because like the last tanker that came out
of the straight up Hormuza has docked in California, because
we're unfortunately importing a phenomenal amount of oil in this state,

(01:35:45):
even though we sit on one of the larger oil
reserves in America, because we don't do we don't produce
oil anymore. We've and over the last thirty years, oil
production in California has dropped for about a million barrels
a day to about two hundred and fifty thousand barrels
a day due to environmental restriction and just general activities
by the California and state government to basically shut down oproduction.

Speaker 6 (01:36:05):
Oil is evil in California.

Speaker 21 (01:36:07):
So that's going to be a real large problem in
the largest state in the country if we run out
of oil. That's if you think things are bad now,
you haven't even begun to see what's gonna happen when
that's start to happen. Because not only do we supply
California refineries, also supply all of Nevada and at least
half of the oil in Arizona.

Speaker 6 (01:36:23):
You're talking about three states they're going to be affected
by this.

Speaker 21 (01:36:26):
So yeah, something needs to break pretty soon or there's
going to be a lot more follow on effects.

Speaker 2 (01:36:31):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Bug Policy Research, Jim,
let's quickly talk about California, the race that everybody's paying
attention to. You know, let's spincher brats brought eight ton
of people to the eyes on Los Angeles. Mayor Bass
became famous for, you know, being so awful at her

(01:36:51):
job that a good portion of the city burnt down,
and so this is an interesting thing. They're starting to
come hard for him now though, trying to you know,
the you can feel the wheels starting to turn in
the machine that is the teachers' unions and whatnot. Uh,
because stuff starting to leak out. That's oh, that's kind
of embarrassing. That's kind of odd. But that being said,

(01:37:15):
it doesn't matter at this point because if you vote
for Karen Bass or Nythia. Again, I keep saying I'd
rather have top Ramen as my mayor than Nythia. The
reality is they're so awful at their job. I don't
give a rats ask that he wants to shoot a
reality show while he's doing you know, his mayor stuff.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (01:37:36):
Yeah, I agree, hundred percent. I don't care what you know.
Sure of him literally like you know, having a body
in the back of his car, and even at that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Point, who is the person? What did they do? You know,
it's just oh god, it's insane.

Speaker 21 (01:37:53):
But it just points out how bad Los Angeles is,
and it's like, yeah, I mean, I agree that we're
at a point where look, yes, you know, right now,
the greater problem in Los Angeles is not that the
current mayor may get reelected after she burned down ten
thousand homes, can't solve the homeless crisis, can't solve the
drug problem in Los Angeles, not to mention the crime

(01:38:14):
and the other problems and in the general unaffordability of
the city and people fleeing it just because it's become
a dumpster fire. That the option is well, but I
can't vote for a guy that is probably a Trump
supporter and is a failed TV actor.

Speaker 6 (01:38:28):
It's like, oh my god, I couldn't vote for him.

Speaker 21 (01:38:30):
I've got to go for the lady that burned the
city down, or for the lady that's probably that goes
out and blames Toyota because there was a rash of
catalytic converter thefts, and she said that the victims were
actually the people stealing them because they were just too
easy and they were just sitting there, and how can
they let them go when they when they're poor and
they're downtrodden, and they've been you know, they've they've been
discriminated against. They needed money, so they just stole the

(01:38:52):
catalytic converters. And if Toyota hadn't made it so easy,
they wouldn't have been able to do that. Those are
the options in Los Angeles right now. And I'm sorry,
but the failed actor and the guy that may have
been a Trump voter is still the highest guy on
my list because at least he hasn't screwed up and
he's not going to screw the city up. He generally
wants to make change in LA. He really wants to
make things better. Now at this point, you've got to

(01:39:14):
give him a chance because the people that you've picked
that were supposed to be the experts in running LA
have been an absolute, unmitigated disaster. And it's time to
make a change because continuing to do the same thing
over and over is not productive and it's not working out.
We got to make a change in LA.

Speaker 6 (01:39:31):
This is a time for it.

Speaker 21 (01:39:33):
And if you don't, then you might as well turn
the keys in and the cities just just give up
on the city and just turn it over to a
third world country, because that's what it's going to become.

Speaker 2 (01:39:40):
Absolutely. Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute pulg Policy Research, Jim, Now,
alien stuff that came out last week interesting ish, I mean,
there was some neat stuff in there, but there was
nothing groundbreaking. But supposedly tomorrow another dump is coming and
this one has some stuff in there that I continue
to say, they're easing everybody into this because if you've

(01:40:02):
met human beings, you realize they can kind of freak out,
So easing some stuff into this and in this new
one there is supposed to be some how should we
say this, some messages that seem to be quite unsettling,
if you will, for humanity. Last week maybe just you know,

(01:40:26):
again an appetizer. But now it feels like they're gonna
start ramping some stuff up.

Speaker 6 (01:40:32):
Well, that would be hopeful, because I've so far been
highly disappointed.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
You'd be hopeful. I'd be hopeful if that was real.
They say they're gonna come down here at any moment
and shoot us.

Speaker 6 (01:40:40):
Oh, they probably wouldn't shoot us.

Speaker 21 (01:40:42):
They'd probably enslave us and then you know, make us
food or something, make us into slurry or something. But yeah, no,
absolutely that It's like I said, I've been disappointed in
what's come out so far. You know, it's been stuff
that's already kind of been floated around. The messages would
be interesting, though again they could be scary. And yes,
we have agreed that people can tend to be tend

(01:41:02):
to be stupid these types of situations, and like I said.

Speaker 6 (01:41:05):
Hey, I want to know all of it.

Speaker 21 (01:41:07):
I would prefer that we don't find I mean, I
prefer that they we don't find out that that that
we're on their menu coming up in forty years, that
they're going to be here after they cleaned out twelve
other planets, that you know that we're that we're thirteenth
on the list when they run out of food and
resources that come after us. But against you know, Stephen
Hawking said that if aliens do show up on our doorstep,

(01:41:27):
it's probably not going to mean good news for for
for Earth, because they're going to have the ability to
travel you know, across space time that we clearly don't
right now, and therefore they're going to be way advanced
more than we are, and we're going to be at
their mercy that hopefully they're a benevolent group of people
that wished, you know, that want to be friends with
us and not want to make us they're slaves, or

(01:41:47):
they're you know, become our overlords, or or you know,
take all the trees or the iridium or whatever mineral
they need.

Speaker 6 (01:41:53):
From our planet, cobalt, whatever it is. So yeah, I'm
looking for the thing.

Speaker 21 (01:41:57):
You know what I'm kind of been thinking if they're
going to keep doing these every Friday, is that wouldn't
you drop the big stuff on the Friday before Memorial Day? Yeah,
because you got the three day weekend. A lot of
people made you know, you have a lot of time
to kind of chew on it. Maybe you have your
last holiday before the aliens show up and enslave us.
Give them one good three day weekend. You know, America

(01:42:17):
loves the three day weekend. Give us the last three
day weekend before you know, the end of our life.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
For the most part before they come down and take
well end of our lives. This because they're taking us elsewhere,
because we're going to be in their zoo.

Speaker 6 (01:42:29):
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 21 (01:42:30):
Yes, that is an episode of the of the of
the TV show, So yes, absolutely, that is one of
those Oh who knows.

Speaker 6 (01:42:39):
It is really interesting.

Speaker 21 (01:42:40):
He brings up so many thoughts, and it certain I
mean regardless, I mean maybe short of the nuclear weapon
being being created in nineteen forty five, even going to
the Moon I think would be is less impactful than
if we really do find out that there are aliens
and they are necessarily coming forth, but they are going
to visit. That would be an absolute sea change for Earth,

(01:43:04):
whether it's a good sea change and they help us
advance as a society or a bad sea change, because
again they come here and want to eat if they
want us to be their dinner or their food source
going forward. However it works out, it would be not
earth shattering is the word I want to use, but
it will be, you know, the most disruptive event probably
in the history of the planet. So maybe that because

(01:43:24):
of that, you know, they've been you know, they've been
kind of using it out. Trump did promise he was
going to release the stuff. So they have been, they
have been doing it. But again this so far has
been pretty much, you know, pretty weak sauce stuff. Nothing
that's been all that that earth's shattering, shall we say,
so far so yeah. But again, if it's bad news, boy,
that's not going to be good. Surely isn't going to
help the midterms at all. That's that's a difference.

Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
Love talking to Jim, Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public
Policy Research, midterm mondays, Jim will be back here. Huge
race next week, Kentucky Primary, Maga versus Massy. It's going

Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 17 (01:45:32):
Serving up Talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:45:40):
As we wrap it up on this Friday. Let's take
a listen back to the chaos, the craziness, the lunacy
that was this week. Thank god it's finally Friday.

Speaker 21 (01:45:52):
Our biggest concern with the ANDES virus will always be
about them getting sick first.

Speaker 2 (01:45:56):
It's always about the person.

Speaker 10 (01:45:58):
So on the low end to get my two extra's
bone grap and to implants, it's gonna cost me over
seventeen thousand dollars just for that. In Tijuana, it's gonna
cost me just under five thousand dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:46:08):
I'm not one.

Speaker 2 (01:46:09):
Hundred dollars walking me my hole.

Speaker 11 (01:46:12):
I know how I saved. Anybody's burning a hold right
through my bucketing and my skin.

Speaker 6 (01:46:19):
I'm on morning, I'll be brown.

Speaker 16 (01:46:22):
It's fine.

Speaker 11 (01:46:24):
Free, I'm done, my motor rolling again.

Speaker 1 (01:46:29):
It's fine.

Speaker 13 (01:46:36):
As you know, this conduct involved her in interactions with
the jury at that time, as the court said in
the order, this was conduct unknown to the state and
other individuals well.

Speaker 2 (01:46:44):
Any ways, to know.

Speaker 14 (01:46:47):
A person convicted of those things is simply too dangerous
to ever be free.

Speaker 11 (01:46:53):
It's fine, fire, free, my motor rolland it's fine.

Speaker 15 (01:47:07):
Otherwise people will turn to fascism, to Minnie Trump, which
is who I think Spencer Pratt really represents.

Speaker 16 (01:47:14):
I don't live at the Hotel Beller, I don't live
in the Santa Barbara.

Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
I don't have a house.

Speaker 17 (01:47:19):
Until you've lived what we've gone through, you shouldn't criticize
what anybody is doing.

Speaker 1 (01:47:23):
They lost everything.

Speaker 2 (01:47:31):
Wendy thirty Hourly Dunity.

Speaker 11 (01:47:40):
I'm a freak around for.

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
We have to lean into it, we have to use
it in a really constructive and creative way. Make it
our friend.

Speaker 6 (01:47:59):
I think it accomplishment deal, but it's not over because
there's still nuclear material.

Speaker 18 (01:48:03):
This is what you're supposed to do with power, this
is what you're supposed to do with a super majority.
You're supposed to punish your opponents.

Speaker 19 (01:48:08):
And the China US relationship is the most important fininatural
relationship in the world.

Speaker 16 (01:48:14):
I'd now like to raise it last and propose a
toast to the rich and enduring ties between the American
and Chinese people.

Speaker 3 (01:48:21):
And I don't think about American financial situation. I don't
think about anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:48:26):
Oh lord, that is the bulletin board material right there
for the Democrats. As we head into the midterms.

Speaker 6 (01:48:33):
What a week.

Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
I feel like it's been one of the quieter weeks
because of the quietness with what's going on with Iran,
because of the visit to Beijing. But that's over now
and I have a feeling this weekend it might get
a little saucy, if that makes sense. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadminton Show.
