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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's just a love tap, that's it. Okay, that is it?
A love tap? Nothing more, that's it. What are you
talking about your head? Iran? I mean, we got the
memo and the stuff is out there and we're gonna
get this. But hold on a second. It's a love tap.

(00:36):
That's it. I don't again. Every day is something new.
Do I think this thing's ending anytime soon? Probably?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Not.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
That being said, I could see this thing dragging on
in this bizarre kind of stalemate, which will absolutely kick
the economy and the grundle. Because that's what we care about.
That's what we care about. Trump says. The fragile ceasefire
remains in effect, but efforts to restart peace talks appear

(01:12):
to have stalled, with a major sticking point being Iran's
nuclear material. Yes, they don't seem to want to give
that up. And remember, we're not just it's weird. We're
not just negotiating with Iran. We're also kind of doing
this weird negotiation where we have to go to Israel
and say, hey, we don't mind what's coming. This isn't

(01:36):
you know, this may not be the worst thing. This
could be good. It could be, and then Israel's gonna
say no, no, no, no, we don't like that. Then
what do we do do we stay the course for them?
Hell efing no, get the f out of there. It

(01:59):
is time that Trump says we're going to move on
from this. We have to think about the global implications
as well as the American implications. There's no doubt that
we have to. And the new reports out and this
is if you are to believe the intelligence of the

(02:22):
United States of America, and that is they can go
on for a while that this isn't a situation where
there are moments away from crumbling. Oh, they're feeling the pain.
There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
They can handle the pain. I'm just saying they can
handle the pain, and their view is how long can
you handle the pain? And I'll tell you this, We're
going towards a cliff on oil and oil products by
the end of this month. Physical shortages. We have physical
shortage already, but it does in countries we don't care about.

(03:00):
So then they will write because they're poor. Yeah, but
then it'll go to middle income countries like Vietnam and Thailand.
Then it goes to Japan, and Korea, and then it
comes here.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
You want to fly out of the United States. You
can say, we have oil, we have jet fuel, right, okay,
can't take it with you.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
When you fly out.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
You got to be able to refill somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Professor Robert Pape, who is brilliant Chicago, University of Chicago.
I'm correct. He has a substack if you have a
chance to sign up for it. He's brilliant, and his
big thing is the escalation trap, where you do this,

(03:46):
then it escalates a little bit more. But you think,
oh that's enough. Maybe before we do this and you know,
we work your way up the ladder. In his substack,
he says, Iran sent a message. You know what it is.
We control her moves. If you on it, take it,
if you think you can take it, if you think
you can. More and more people that I'm hearing from

(04:11):
are saying this is the ultimate nightmare for Trump Hubris,
the feeling that, look what we did in Venezuela, I
can do it here. Bbie's telling us this and the
reality is no, not that we can't win a war. See,

(04:39):
you can't have this conversation with a lot of people
because they start going, oh, it's because you don't think
we can win. What are we willing to sacrifice? What
are we willing as a nation to do to get
into long drawn out war to occupy? We're not going
to be seen as liberators. We're gonna be we've seen

(05:00):
as occupiers to risk god knows how many men and
women to destroy the global economy. Is that what we're
willing to do? No, I don't think so. Trump never
thought this was going to take this long. In his
mind they were going to give up easily. Why because

(05:25):
he was probably being told that by several others, and
he felt that he had this opportunity here based on
what just took place in Venezuela, and this was going
to be simple and easy. No, it's not. And now
you're going to have more than a few issues here

(05:45):
and your presidency, dare I say, even your legacy could
be on the line. And he understands that. And now
you've put yourself in a position where your ego is
also having to fight something because you can't be seen
as doing a deal that isn't as good as Obamas.

(06:06):
We've touched on that going to be interesting. This weekend
could be very very very interesting. Meanwhile, the haunt of virus,
what's going on with that. I'll tell you what's going
on with that stuff, Like they're monitoring it. It's not

(06:29):
I was talking to my wife about this. It's great
if you're in the news business because it's a big
headline because the pandemic, the way that things have gone,
you know, stop the spread, all of these kind of things.
The reality is this thing is deadly, very deadly.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
By the way, this is obviously a deadly virus thirty
forty percent mortality rate. It can take a while for
symptoms to show up, so we have to be really
focused on making sure that if anybody starts developing symptoms
that they get care immediately.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
True, but because of its deadly nature, also doesn't spread
very easily. And so and that's kind of that weird
situation where sometimes the more deadly it is, the harder
it is to spread. And this one is not easily spread.

(07:27):
So to think that this is the you know, the
next thing that's coming that's going to have us all
living in the doors for the next two and a
half years or whatever, No, that's that's that's not what's
going to happen.

Speaker 6 (07:40):
Look, I'm worried about people on the ship. We may
see a few more cases, we may even see a
dozen or so, make more cases. Are we going to
see hundreds or thousands of cases? Not from this outbreak?

Speaker 7 (07:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
No, because it's hard to spread. It's just that simple.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
There's one string, the dye string. That's the one that's
causing the does spread from people to people, it's pretty hard.
You have to have pretty prolonged contact. This is not casual.
That's not a grocery store. That's not being in an
elevator with somebody for thirty seconds. You have to prolong
contact with somebody before you could spread it to them.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
There you go. So while you'll hear the news and
it'll be on the front of everything. For the most part,
I think we're good. I think we're good. And as
I continue to tell you, and we'll always tell you, guys,
the chances of you getting this on your couch is
virtually zero unless you are keeping say a rice rat

(08:41):
that you found outdoors, a cotton rat, a white footed mouse,
or dare I say, a deer mouse, something of that nature.
Then maybe if you're doing that and you're on the
couch and you somehow got their stuff in your mouth,
then you potentially could have some problems. But outside of that,

(09:04):
we're going to be okay. All right, just want you
to go. Just giving you guys the latest on that.
Speaking of the latest redistricting, the battle goes on and
it got hot and heated here in Tennessee yesterday.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
Tennessee is a conservative state and I submit its congressional
delegation should reflect that.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Translation. Look, we're doing this because we can there you go,
we can do this. We can go and say we're
going to redistrict aka Jerrymander this so that one seat
that you guys have we could take it away from you.

Speaker 8 (09:44):
Did you consider keeping Shelby County as a single community
of interest?

Speaker 7 (09:49):
The consideration for drawing these maps was to maximize the
Republican potential to maintain the majority in the United States
House of Representatives.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
Did you evaluate whether the new districts that you all
created were compact.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Miss Chairman, All of these questions are going to get
the same answer, and.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know what that is. We can do this. At
least they're honest. Now that the Supreme Court did something
when they ruled in the Louisiana case last week, and
that is, hey, you can draw it up not based
on race, however you want. So now they can come

(10:36):
out and go, eh, we're doing this because we want
to hold onto the house or we want to try
to win the house if you're on the left side
of the aisle. So the battle of jerry mandering aka
redistricting aka a bunch of crap is happening, and it's
going to get louder, and it's going to get more wild.

(10:56):
I have a feeling, and I have a feeling. It's
also going to be very much a crazy situation because
the Supreme Court is going to weigh in, So some
stuff that you think is going to happen may not happen.
They may say, Nope, these districts, you can't do it
like this. So this going forward is gonna there's gonna

(11:19):
be some shouting Already. The NAACP filed a lawsuit today
to block Tennessee's newly approved redistricting plan. So some people
are saying Memphis needs to secede to what where are
you gonna go? Oh goodness me three two, three, five,

(11:39):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three atch had Benson

lot good stuff to get to today, including a little
Finally Friday sounds straight ahead, But first, relief Factor. You
want that relief I know you do. How are you
gonna get it? Relief Factor? Are you sick and tired
of the aches and pains and your joints in your muscles.

(12:00):
Relief Factor is going to help you with that. I
will tell you, guys, I always say this. We can
sid here and I can tell you about all the
great stuff inside. It's naturally formulated all that stuff. As

still play sports as much as I can. I put
my body through hell, and I will tell you this

made it so when I got up in the morning

I feel incredible, and that's all because of relief Factor.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Every week we say it, it's been crazy now, aliens,
maybe goodness me in the war. Yeah, let's take a
listen back, though, because it was a lot more than
just that.

Speaker 9 (13:20):
Imagine that I actually won the Kentucky Derby as a trainer,
much less the first female through a trainer to win
the Kentucky Derby.

Speaker 10 (13:26):
There's history about the three sixteenth pool. I thought, we're
probably gonna.

So yeah, it's gonna trickle down to the consumer.

Speaker 6 (14:11):
So planny making of drives.

Speaker 15 (14:12):
But it will be a lot more expensive than usual.

Speaker 2 (14:15):

Speaker 11 (14:41):
Now is very real. We're not just a story. We're
not just headlines where people I do want to just
harm the public.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
There's only about thirty cases of haunt of brus a
year in the US.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
It is super rarely hurt.

Speaker 11 (14:58):
Gensy wonder.

Speaker 12 (15:00):
I never said Windy had a thirty hours slowly Kennedy Fiday,
I'm free.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
From forget.

Speaker 7 (15:25):
The consideration for drawing these maps was to maximize the
Republican potential to maintain the majority in the United States
House this year.

Speaker 16 (15:35):
There is coming a massive disclosure truth as the government
knows it about UFOs and u aps is going to
be disclosed to the population.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
We're back, We're live.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Let's do this.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Let's buy spirited.

Speaker 17 (15:50):
Thank you for your support over the years, and onward
and upward, right go God bless you off.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
I felt like the Kentucky Derby and Spirit and what
happened there took place weeks ago, but you know what,
it didn't just this week, and you know what, we
covered it together right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Yesterday here Tennessee Governor Lee signed into law the new districts.

(16:19):
So they are redistricting as everybody's redistricting. And what the
Supreme Court did last week has at least allowed the
politicians to be honest when it comes to why they're
jerrymandering redistricting.

Speaker 8 (16:37):
Did you consider keeping Shelby County as a single community
of interest?

Speaker 7 (16:42):
The consideration for drawing these maps was to maximize the
Republican potential to maintain the majority in the United States
House of Representatives.

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Did you evaluate whether the new districts that you all
created were compact?

Speaker 7 (17:01):
Miss Chairman, all of these questions are going to get
the same answer.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
There you go. Here it is we want to win, period,
case closed, end of story. This is a way for
us to do it. You don't like it, that's a
you problem. You really can't do anything to stop it.
Welcome to even more chaos and craziness, because you know
what that seems to be. What politics is performative and

(17:29):
power all right, Coming up for buddy, Jim Kennedy Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research joins the program. That's straight
ahead right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (17:39):
Then Chad Benson Show, Benson Show that time a week.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Talk to her. Good about Jim Kennedy Kennedy. It's the public. Well,
let's see you, sir as we're talking about politics, pop culture.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
And all the things.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I continue to say this Trump has an Obama problem,
and that Obama problem is whatever he does, he has
to feel like his deal's better than Obama. And I
think he's painted himself into a corner now where Hubrius
of what took place with Venezuela and this I have

(18:33):
to win and it has to be Vetter. Obama is
going to put us in a situation that's not going
to help us.

Speaker 18 (18:38):
I've actually kind of thought through this and wasn't anything,
certainly anything that's Trump said. But you know what I've decided,
While I understand he's going to pay higher for gas prices,
I'm I'm I'm in on this until we if as
long as we can do this without putting significant numbers
of boots on the ground. This is the best opportunity
we've had in almost fifty years, forty seven years.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
So yeah, rid of the Iranian regime.

Speaker 18 (19:01):
This is good for the world, this is good for
the region, this is good for the people of Iran.
If I've got to pay a little bit more in gas,
I'm willing to do that. Not that I, of course
have the ability to make that decision for everybody else.
And yes, I understand it's going to be a little
bit of a problem for people, put a little bit
of stress on some people's household budgets. But I think
we've got to continue this until we can get rid
of the regime, as long as we can do without

(19:23):
putting feet, you know, without putting boots.

Speaker 5 (19:24):
On the ground. I'm in for whatever it takes.

Speaker 18 (19:27):
If it's two months, and let's continue for two months,
because at some point the Iranian government is going to
have to break, and at some point I believe that
people will hopefully rise up and basically get rid of
the people, the Revolutionary Guard, and the powers that be.
So I've kind of changed my position and decided that
I'm all in on it as long as we're not
going to be putting a large amounts of boots on

(19:47):
the ground.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
But here's my thing. Okay, And if we this whole
thought of gay, where do we start the grievance?

Speaker 19 (19:58):
Right?

Speaker 2 (19:59):
People like, well, eighteen seventy nine, okay, but what about
nineteen fifty three? What about the fact that we overthrew
their legitimate government to install a puppet that robbed them
blind and abused them, and then we got behind their
neighbor And it's like this weird situation where, yes, you
know what, they're awful the regime. Nobody's denying that. That

(20:22):
being said, there's a part for us to play in this,
and we want to kind of ignore it. And a
younger generation, right, they don't just like we've talked about
with the Holocaust, that's grandma and Grandpa's if you're in
your twenties, they don't remember that Israel and the sacredness
of that. They don't remember the same thing here. They
don't remember four hundred and forty four days, you know what.

(20:42):
They're just trying to put gas in their car and
they want to live without twelve roommates.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yep, No, absolutely, you're you're a correct to me.

Speaker 18 (20:50):
A lot of it is, Yes, there is the history
and eighty three, the Berlin bombing seventy nine take of
the hostages.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
But I'm kind of looking at it more at just
in general.

Speaker 18 (21:00):
Well, okay, their grievance would be with America, of course,
because we're the ones that have been bombing them, but
they could To me, it shows how bad of a
citizen of the world they are by going out and
launching stuff at the UAE and other areas you know
that are basically people they didn't really have a beef
with with the Saudis. Also that they didn't have a

(21:21):
beef within the beef with us. Okay, sure they're trying
to shoot in some cases at our basis, but they're
trying to basically at that point just create having the
whole thing. Also with what they're doing with the streets
of her moves and basically the problems they're they're creating
there is just to me, it's like, these are just
bad people. These are people that are causing problems and
if we don't get rid of them now. This could
be something similar to the Gulf War where Bush or

(21:45):
Golf War one where HW Bush didn't want to march
into Bagdad and called it quits and walked away from it,
and then we wound up going back twelve years later
or whatever it was. They yeah, roughly twelve years later
to take out Sodom Mussein. Not that that necessarily the
problem from nine to eleven, but that was the path
that we took. We gotten rid of Sado. We saying
twelve years earlier, not saying nine to eleven when it happened.

(22:06):
But we wouldn't have had the problem. We wouldn't have
had go War two. So let's take our opportunity while
we are here, and the mouth we've already spent on this,
and the amount that we've already invested in this, Not
that I'm saying we should ignore s sunk cost fallacies,
but we definitely is the best opportunity we've got in
forty seven years. There is nobody that really other than
the Russians and the Chinese, and they just do it

(22:27):
to mess with America that are really supporting the Iranians.
And I'm not really sure how strong their support is
because they know that they're not really supporting a person
who's got a lot of credit on the world stage.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy, research,
we moved from there to and we're gonna get more
into this other redistricting side of stuff and craziness and
chaos here in Tennessee quick snapshot. At what point do
we ask these people who are all redistrict Hey, I

(23:01):
hear you guys say, and you're least saying it out loud. Now, No,
we're just doing this because we want to win more seats.
What point do we go, Are you guys going to
serve the people any better? Or is this just really
about you?

Speaker 5 (23:12):
That's just really about them? And actually what this probably
does is just this.

Speaker 18 (23:17):
In case you thought that your politicians were working for you,
guess what you've got pretty well proved out of their
own mouths now that there really are, and they're just
working to keep themselves in power. And maybe that will
kind of finally be a change where we start electing
different people. And I'm not saying that that's a left
or right issue. That's politics in general has become kind
of a cesspool and a sewer in general, regardless of

(23:39):
the party. I'd like to believe it's more Democrat, but
it's probably not necessarily completely a Democrat problem, and there
are Republicans that fall into that group too that you
talk about the word pelebrity, and that perfectly example of
a lot of this. There are people that want to
make a brand for themselves, that want to go out
there and basically find their you know, they weren't successful in.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Business, they are necessarily the best educated people.

Speaker 18 (24:01):
They're not necessarily you know, they can't play a sport,
they can't be an actor. Well maybe they can be
an actor, but they can be a politician. And if
they can con enough people to vote for them regards
if they really want to help the voters or not,
they can.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
Get elected to office.

Speaker 18 (24:14):
And from there you want you want to get on
the AOC bandwagon and create your brand and basically make
yourself as popular as as possible and elevate your s
so you can always go out there and get a
TV gig when you're done, or a podcast or something
like that where you can basically create yourself a.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Nice way of life.

Speaker 18 (24:32):
And if the voters get lost in the cause, well, hey,
it's about me and I royally want. I need a
better life. I need to be able to drive a portion,
I need to be able to have a house on
the beach in Malibu.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, well, that sounds like a good thing house. I'm
not gonna lie to yet. California's chaos and craziness. But
if somebody wants to give me a you know, a
house on Malibu Beach, beautiful, gorgeous, you know, maybe three bedrooms,
four bath, nice pool, I'll take it. I appreciate that.
Probably not going to happen because I live out here
in say, talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public

(25:02):
Policy Research. All right, Jim, let's talk about real stuff.
Nobody gives their ascess about the rest of that stuff
because aliens. So Tim Burchett met with Trump yesterday. There's
going to be the start of stuff here today, trickling out.
But more and more, several pastors now have kind of
confirmed that there was this big conversation about what may

(25:26):
be coming braced the self kind of thing. It's interesting,
you know, and all kidding aside. I've always thought there's
got to be something else out there. I mean, there's
just too many variables just for the size of the universe.
We can't even wrap our head around how big it
is to not think there's something else. But then if

(25:46):
we were to go well, what about dimensional that's also
a possibility as well. What if we're just the sims
for another species?

Speaker 18 (25:54):
Well at to Elon Musk's old argument that we're just
in RATCHI was also Scott Adams Whey passed away was
always talk abo we're just in a simulation and we're basically,
you know, we're puppets for some of alien beings or
something that's basically watching us and letting us run around
and exists just for their pleasure and stuff. The dimensional thing,
that's something I gotta get my head wrapped around. I
was talking about that a couple weeks ago. We were

(26:15):
talking about the people that have disappeared and maybe that
there is some sort of a dimensional thing involved with that.
But it's going to be an interesting situation because they
could talk about the pastors is is and the religious
leaders is that. You know, this is something that's battles
and going on since since the creation of religion. Is
it the argument between or the fight or the conflict
between science and religion? Like I had a friend that

(26:38):
was was was very very smart, grew up in a
Catholic household, and he went out in high school and
did the math on Noah's Ark and basically figured out
that there was no possible way based upon the measurements
that that that they could have put all of the
animals in the arc that they claimed there simply wasn't
face unless you were literally like vacuue packing them into
the into the into the arc. And while his parents

(27:01):
were proud of him for his skills, I d're the
ire of his very very Catholic father because he did
not like hearing things like that, because he'd grown.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Up on the Bible and grown up on Catholicism.

Speaker 18 (27:12):
So there's going to be interesting situations like that, or
religion is going to run into a problem with science,
depending about how this all shakes out. What there's, you know,
whatever is revealed, whatever it turns out to be, if
it's like you said, multi dimensional, or if it's people
that have figured out how to travel faster than light.
I've always believed it, maybe just because I was a
big or not a big, but I was a you know,
I'd like to believe that the science somewhat around Star Trek,

(27:33):
while it is made up, that there is the ability
even though Einstein says not that we can travel faster
than light and that would basically be the that would
be the key, the breakthrough that would be needed for
us to begin exploring the stars. Now, why what we
do in the space program is pretty is great, and
maybe you can even say phenomenal based upon you know,

(27:54):
what you could think of that could be out there,
and the ability to move faster than the speed of
light across starism and across the galaxy, that would be
completely an utterly revolutionary to our species and to the world,
and how that would react. Just as long as the
people aren't something out of like the for the Independence
Day movie and are here to basically make us their
slaves and you know, loot our planet and move along,

(28:17):
that would probably be a bad day for everybody. But otherwise,
if it's not that, then it could be a very
good day. Maybe they could be nice like the Vulcans,
warn't help us show us how to move faster than
the speed of light.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Jim, you've met humans. They're pretty, they're pretty stupid at times.
How do you think the world will react? See? I
think that to me has always been the issue of
why they this has been such a secret or the
worry about it is because if this gets out and
it looks like there's going to be some stuff that
starts to come out. And I have a feeling sometimes
you get a little closer to Epstein than you know,

(28:48):
all of a sudden, Hey look at this, we're good aliens.
But that being said, the fear factor of trying to
figure out if is there god, Oh my god, are
these are gods? Are they going to eat us? You know,
they people trying to wrap their heads around stuff. There
will always be those people to go I knew it
and move on. But a vast majority of people, this
would be the greatest thing in our history.

Speaker 10 (29:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
And and I and I think it's always been a secret.
If it indeed we find out it's real, it is
because human beings can't handle it. No.

Speaker 18 (29:19):
Uh, the action would be mass panic, I'm pretty sure,
which is why they haven't been released.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
And I agree one hundred percent.

Speaker 18 (29:25):
I was thinking exactly the same thing we started talking
about this was you're gonna have an Epstein effect. I
think at a lot of this because there could be
things that even Trump understands that, no, we can't tell
people because yeah, Bush didn't tell them, Obama didn't tell them,
Biden didn't tell them, Clinton didn't tell them because yeah, no,
we just can't.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
They would.

Speaker 18 (29:43):
You would, They would go beyond mass panic, but you
would have anarchy. You would have chaos in the streets
and and things like that. So yeah, because you're right,
we are too. We do tend to be a reactionary
type of thing. We are humans, We are tend to
be emotional at times.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
I wouldn't panic.

Speaker 18 (29:58):
I would just my question is are they going to
come and conquerors or not. If they're not and they're
happy to let us live, woohoo.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
Big win. Otherwise, yeah, it might be a little concerned
about it.

Speaker 18 (30:08):
But running around the planet and you know, looting and
blowing up or burning down buildings not going to really
help us with the aliens because they're probably gonna either
be able to handle it one way or another better
than we are. So yeah, I'm not thinking the mess
cast is what my option will be. But I would
not be surprising. Again, you'd be be very interesting for
the religious leaders and what that's going to mean to them.
And this is going to mean a challenge for them

(30:30):
depending upon how it you know, how it how it
breaks down, and what exactly is the truth?

Speaker 5 (30:35):
And I'm putting that in air quotes.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
When I say it, it's going to be interesting, no
doubt about that. His name is Jim Kennedy's, the one
and only Jim Kennedy for the Kennedy's at the Public
Policy Research Monday, we do midterm Mondays and we've got
some good stuff coming up on Mondays because chaos and
craziness is going on. Brother, It's always good to talk
to you. We'll do it again on Monday.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
Thanks.

Speaker 14 (32:17):
No Deep Doo doo eh, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
It's the world's biggest sporting event and it's coming to America.
It's time to talk. Come Aho.

Speaker 9 (32:34):
How about that?

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Or Perera hit? What are the rights Sharia?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Right across to Marco Johnny.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
We haven't been able to control the play in midfield.
Why the Maradona has been able to do? They start
to be able to go.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
All them on t L win the World Cup for
Argentina with this kick. Yes, thirty four days in counting.
People are pissed about a lot of things when it
comes to the cost of the World Cup, And I
just want to give a massive shout out to Arthur
Blank in Atlanta. Ticket prices are going to be what

(33:23):
they'll be, and we'll touch on that in a second.
But he's keeping food prices low and he's done that
for a while. The concession prices for all of his
events that take place at the Mercedes are so cheap,
and he says, look, we can't always control what happens

(33:43):
on the field, but we can control some of the
fan experiences, and that's why he's going to keep the
prices down. And are you ready for this? Think about
this for a second. When you think about the cost
of any concession most places outside of the Bananas, what
do you see ridiculous prices? Cheese nacho three bucks, super

(34:06):
pretzel two bucks, souvenir soda four bucks, small domestic beer
five bucks, peach shake three dollars just a few of
the options that are available when it comes to the
cost of stuff when you go see a game in
Atlanta for the World Cup, And are you ready for this?
Hot dog Annesota. Five dollars is what he charges at

(34:29):
the Falcons game, so shout out to him. People are
pissed about the ticket prices, understandable, but as much as
people can plain, and they do, here's the reality of it.
Five hundred million requests have come in four World Cup
tickets with what thirty four thirty three days left, You're
looking at fifteen million a day still coming in. So

(34:52):
we move from there to betting. What you got for
as Chad, I'm gonna tell you right now, kids. So
according to baa study and they've studied everything, all of
the markets, you can't betting wise, a vast majority of
America is putting their money on France, led by Killing
and Bope won the World Cup before last lost the

(35:13):
final of the last World Cup to Messi. AI is
choosing Spain. Either of those two can win it, no
doubt about that. So I'm pomped baby, getting closer and
closer every day three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benton Show. Is your
ex your Insta, your YouTube and all of the other things.

(35:33):
I love hearing from all of you right here on
the Chad Benton Show. Coming up hour number two of
the program, talk a little bit more about the haunt
of virus. Redistricting. Yeah, the fight is real with redistricting.
We are going to discuss that as well. The latest
about Iran US A love tap, says the President. That

(35:56):
was all it was yesterday, just a love tap. We'll
talk a bit about that. Our good buddy, Zach Abraham,
Chief Bestment Officer Boward Capital, is also going to join
the program to talk about the markets, especially when it
comes to oil and how these energy markets really pull
a lot of the other markets around as well. Plus
your urban word of Today and some other good stuff.

(36:18):
I promise you that Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Are there Aliens? The first batch of ufoua a alien
stuff has been released and it's interesting now. Tim Burchett
Tennessee said, Trump's keeping his word on his transparency. There

(37:12):
are more things that will be coming out. There are
more videos and information that is going to be released
in the coming weeks or months. This is the first batch.
So what can we take from this. Let's break it down.
First of all, some of the stuff they've come out

(37:33):
and said they do not know what some of these
things are. They cannot explain them. There is no natural
anomaly that can explain some of these things. So that's
interesting and it's and the fact that they're somewhat honest
about that is one thing they're also saying, at least

(37:55):
at this moment in time, you got to make up
your own mind if you think there is or is
an something. Now. I've always said, if you're gonna do this,
you're gonna have to do it over a period of time.
Can't just dump it on people. I think we're gonna
find out more. There's forty six videos that are supposed
to be incredible, and there's several videos in here that

(38:19):
are pretty neat, things we haven't seen before, some that
we have seen before, but with an explanation of we
have no idea what they are. So right now there
are plenty of open archives and unresolved anomalies and some

(38:40):
very good videos and some other videos in the videos,
especially a few of them over at rock the ua
R videos that are you could tell their spy satellites,
things of that nature. So you know, you wouldn't expect
there to be you know, the perfect picture, but there's
other ones that it's again, it's pretty interesting. You have

(39:04):
to make up your own mind. You are. And there's
a couple of pictures in here that are interesting, including
a picture from Roswell. So the photo is from the
US Air Force's Roswell Report, and this was you know that,
it's very interesting. You've got a couple things in again,
very interesting.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
How real is.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Everything you're gonna have to you know, at least at
this point in time, probably inconclusive, But they are being
more forthright in saying that we have no idea what
these things are and because of that, that's that's a step.

(39:46):
And you also have several other politicians have come out,
like Tim Burchett and Miss Luted from Florida who say
that there's a lot more that's coming and we're inching
towards that just a start. That's all I'm saying. I'm
not saying yay or nay, but there's definitely things that

(40:12):
are happening and moving in that direction. Let me know
what you think. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benton Show, is your ex your Insta,
YouTube and everything else jobs up? Always good?

Speaker 20 (40:28):
That is a.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Wonderful thing. You know, it's funny because people you just
hate Trump at all. Odd's not about that again, Stop
bringing Trump into this. That's an emotional thing. I don't
like the actions. I don't know Trump personally. We're not pals.
So there you go. But we added some jobs a
little bit better than expected, and that's good news despite

(40:54):
what's going on in the economy. As far as the
high prices now, is there going to be a knock
on effect coming in the weeks and months ahead, especially
as we continue to potentially move forward when it comes
to this war. And I hope and pray that we're

(41:15):
going to get done with this sooner rather than later.
But judging by the things that happened yesterday, and I
got to think that there's going to be some serious
issues potentially going forward because it doesn't look like Iran
is willing to give up its nuclear ambitions. And because

(41:35):
of that, it doesn't seem like we're going to be
getting a deal done. Does it mean there's going to
be more fighting? That's another situation. I have no idea
if there's going to be more fighting, no idea whatsoever.
What I do know is we're in a position right
now where oil is not coming down anytime soon. And

(42:00):
and even if we ended this thing tomorrow and we're
going to talk to our good buddy Zach Abraham coming
up here in a little bit, these things are going
to play out as far as how we're going to
feel these things over the next several weeks and potentially months.
And that's if it was to come to an end today.

(42:20):
And I don't think that's happening at all. So this weekend,
I hope there's nothing that's going to happen this weekend.
Could it get spicy, Of course, it could get spicy.
You and I both know that. Will it God willing
it doesn't. We moved from there to La Los Angeles, California.

(42:41):
So look, I grew up in Los Angeles, growing up
in southern California, California. In general, if you had any
conservative ideology or beliefs, you were you were you know, politically,
you're an outsider. That being said doesn't mean that it

(43:02):
was unheard of to have every once in a while
a Republican for something. But over the last unteen years, decades,
really there's been very little of that. You had arnold,
and that we know how that went. The last la
mayor that was a Republican was Richard Reardon. So and
he won it based on the fact that the ninety

(43:22):
two riots happened and it was a disaster. And again
it's a nonpartisan office, but everybody is aware that everybody's
on the left side of the aisle. Since the move left,
you had the likes of James Hahn, Tony Vallar, I mean,
Anthony via ra Goosa, Eric Garcetti, and currently Mayor Bass.

(43:47):
Last year, we know what happened in southern California with
the fires.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
Now what you have.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Is a situation where people are frust and pissed. The
expense of California is insane, the fact that they spend
god knows how much money on every little thing they
can that does nothing to solve any problems whatsoever, and

(44:16):
in fact, many cases causes more problems than anything else.
And because of that fire last year, you have the
likes of Spencer Pratt. If you don't know who he is,
he was on the hills. He's married to Heidi montag
is her name, and he is running for mayor why
because he's fed up, He's over it and a lot
of Californias are feeling that way about a lot of things,

(44:39):
but in La it's one of those things where this,
if it was to happen, is a seismic shift, even
though it's a non partisan area. He had had enough.
His house burned down, and he said, I'm done. I'm
done with this. I'm over this. We're spending hundreds of

(45:00):
millions of dollars to create more homeless. We are doing
very little to help the average person. And when things
go south, you make it so the average person has
no chance in hell. And it smells like piss everywhere.
People are over it, and he's making noise. People on

(45:20):
the left are given him money, and not just a
little bit, a decent amount. The likes of Genie Bus
of Lakers Fame given him money among other things. And
he's getting national press as well.

Speaker 21 (45:34):
Yeah, thankfully. All my supporters in Los Angeles are Democrats.
Everyone I know, my family are all Democrats. I grew
up in LA. I went to crossroads. Everybody that texted
me last night amazing congratulations are all Democrats. So that
what people are confused on the Democrats all are behind me.
It's just the socialists and the communists that don't back me.

(45:56):
But no, I'm confident I'm probably gonna win with fifty
one percent on second, because I don't do a political message.
I don't do national politics. I don't do tribal politics.
I don't talk about other states. I'm localized. I just
want to fix our streets, get lights on. I want
people feel safe. I want to get our tax money
to not be robbed by these these literal criminal NGOs

(46:19):
stealing from our tax to increase the homelessness. So my
message isn't political, it's common sense. So I have Democrats
love me, Republicans love me, independence love me, Libertarians love me,
constitutionalists love me. It's just socialists and communists.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
I love his message. And the funny thing is watching
the machine start to work against him is interesting. But
also watching people ask the question, well, can he do
this job? I hate to break it too. Politicians, Uh,

(46:56):
it ain't that hard. It's not if you're there to
do the right thing. It ain't that hard. If you
have common sense, it ain't that hard. It isn't. They
make you think that what they're doing is somehow noble

(47:19):
and the common person. You guys just wouldn't understand. I
don't know if you could do the job. No, no, no, absolutely,
I think you could. I think you could take a
random person who's not an idiot or crazy and you
could put them in that position, and I think they
could handle the job. No, yeah, yeah, I think they could.

(47:44):
You know how I know because I know a lot
of politicians. I know a lot of politicians, and I
will tell you they make it look a lot harder
than it needs to be. And in a day of performativeness,
if you just to do the job half ass, you're
going to be better than most. I'm pulling for you.

(48:05):

Speaker 1 (49:45):
You're listening to The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
As global fears continue when it comes to the virus. What, yes,
the haunted virus. As they continue, we are looking around
making sure that we know where all of these people are.
We need to stop the spread. I kid, because as

(50:09):
we talked about yesterday, this we've got this you know,
this brain that still has this fight or flight response.
We're looking for something.

Speaker 11 (50:25):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
What's you know, what's rustling in the bush?

Speaker 16 (50:28):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Could it be a threat? And this is one of
those things, especially after COVID, where you go, oh, is
this bad? I mean could could could anybody catch it?
Is this going to be something that's going to become
similar to COVID? Or we can all have to stay
inside and it is super deadly. Settle down right now,
we're going to be ied.

Speaker 22 (50:51):
Even though there is historical documentation of the Andy strain
being able to spread from person to person, it is
not very efficiently spread from person to person.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
That is good news, But it is deadly. Let's not
pretend it's not. We talked a bit about it yesterday,
and you know, but it's also and again one of
these situations where where you say this, you know, it
makes for good news, it does. It makes for that

(51:25):
doom scrolling, doom watching kind of thing, which is the
news business is a business.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
This is obviously a deadly virus thirty forty percent mortality rate.
It can take a while for symptoms to show up,
so we have to be really focused on making sure
that if anybody starts developing symptoms that they get care immediately.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yes, absolutely, And we don't know what that care is.
We talked about that yesterday. There's really no They throw
everything against the wall. It's the best way to describe
how they treat the hauntavirus. You throw everything against the
wall and see what sticks. That's why I continue to
tell you guys, you will not catch it in your

(52:07):
living room unless you're gross and you have a bunch
of deer, mice and things of that nature roaming around there.
So but I get why people want to pay attention
three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. You rex, your insta, everything
else right here on the Chad Benson Show. But we
freak out a lot about this, And it's not that

(52:28):
we shouldn't pay attention to certain things like these. It's
the fact that you know, watching the news and the
way they do things. They get out there and they
want to make sure that you're aware. But if they
can scare you a little bit, that's an emotion that's
going to suck you in. What do you think And
again not saying this thing can spread a little bit,

(52:51):
but it's that kind of fear based thing. It's like
when we talk about animal attacks. So yesterday search and
rescue crews in my Ontana National Park found a missing
hiker dead and what does it look like happened? Not
exposure or anything like that. Bear attack. And when we
talk about shark attacks, bear attacks, things of this nature,

(53:12):
they catch the ear because it shows how fragile we
are as human beings. That the virus, the thing, you
can't see, what it can do, what goes on when
it comes to the shark attack or the bears or
whatever it is. It just shows you that as amazing
as the body and everything is, we're still just you know,

(53:35):
fragile in so many ways. So and that's part of
the sales side of stuff. And I know what people
are saying, Chad, you do nature will mess you up.
Yes I do. And it's funny, but usually we do
that when people do stupid things like, hey, I can't
believe the bear attacked you. Well, you invited it into
your house and then you didn't have any food, and
they're not pets. So sometimes you do stupid things, you

(53:57):
get a stupid prize and we're gonna poke funny you.
I don't think that was this situation here, But once again,
it doesn't happen a lot, so when it happened, it
becomes big news, if that makes sense. Coming up, Bark,
good buddy and yours the one the only. Zack Abram,
chief vestment Officer bult Capital joins the program to talk
about oil the markets. Chad Benson Chop the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Is that time of the week. We talk to our
good buddy, Zack Abram, chief vestment Officer Boltwork Capital. Start
with oil. Okay, so obviously we've got some issues back.
There's a ceasefire, but not a ceasefire. It's still in place,
but it's not in place. We're gonna bomb each other,
but it's not the same thing. The reality of oil
weird to watch because I think there's obviously been manipulation

(55:03):
in the marketplace. There's some serious issues to the Department
of Justice looking at it's just some insider trading going on.
But this is going to start getting serious. And you know,
we get the big webinar coming up about the impact
of energy, and I don't think people realize oil is
such a driver, not just in the commodity market, all markets. Yeah, man,

(55:29):
where to start?

Speaker 19 (55:30):
So, first of all, I am very sympathetic and I
and I've been talking about this on our show on
a day to day basis in kind of doing my
best on social media too. I'm very sympathetic to the
approach where people are looking and going this trade at
war moves thing you guys way overblew it. I mean,
it's been nine weeks. The world isn't falling apart. Cru

(55:51):
crued sub one hundred.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Like, we just need to.

Speaker 19 (55:53):
Acknowledge that this wasn't nearly as bad as everybody thought
it was going to be. Okay, I totally get we're
people are coming from. If that's their thought, and if
you look at the price action, that's what you're seeing.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Okay.

Speaker 19 (56:08):
Let me try to put this because I think that
there are many things that have gone on. First of all,
I think the market environment that you are in lends
to this. And why do I say that, because again,
we've got to look at.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
The environment we're in. This is the longest bowl market,
the longest stock market run in history.

Speaker 19 (56:27):
Yeah, okay, you've had two down years in You've had
two down years in the last fifteen.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Okay, at last sixteen.

Speaker 19 (56:35):
You now are sitting at a record level Shiller Case
pe Pe ratio record. Now you're equal forty one. I
think you're a to forty one on the case Shiller PE,
which is tot ties the tech high. The new anomaly
is you're sitting at about two fifty to two hundred
and sixty percent debt to GDP or not debt to GDP, sorry,

(56:56):
market captain GDP, meaning the stock market is worth two
hundred sixty percent of the economy.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Yes, all right.

Speaker 19 (57:03):
In nineteen twenty nine that ratio reached sixty five percent.
Nineteen eighty seven, it reached eighty five percent. In nineteen
ninety nine, it reached one hundred and seventy percent. Two thousand,
it reached one hundred and seventy percent.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Today we're at two fifty race and toward three hundred.

Speaker 19 (57:17):
Okay, So first of all, it's an extraordinarily different market
environment than anybody has ever operated. And second of all,
it is the longest expansion in history, which is for
fifteen years to fade every single geopolitical risk. You made
money within the next three to six months, and you
usually made substantial So you have told investors for fifteen

(57:38):
straight years without a single exception.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Think about every I.

Speaker 19 (57:42):
Mean, go back to Mario Drogy, whatever it takes, European
debt crisis right, then go to the shale pot paths
blowing up in two fifteen, Then go to COVID, then
go to Russia, Ukraine right, just right on down the list,
every single one of them, you fade them. So when
we get to this, when we're going to have a
global oil plus supply shortage and guys like me are
saying it's going to lead to a humanitarian crisis, and

(58:04):
Trump goes, hey, trust Trump, it doesn't surprise me that
retail goes short oil short oil, right, because we're playing
whack a mole. What's the one thing that says things
are about to go bad? Fade that and buy risk
right or sell ball by risk right. That's what the
market's been trained to do. But this situation is fundamentally different.

(58:25):
And the reason I say it's fundamentally different is the
price of oil only for only for a very short
period of time, can oil be priced by perception, right,
because it can be for eventually reality shows up.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Yes, because you're trading a physical commodity. And here is
the reality. Guys, last week alone, you drew two percent.

Speaker 19 (58:52):
Of our total oil supply in the United States to exports.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
That doesn't even cat now what we that.

Speaker 19 (59:01):
Those are just inventory draws last year to last week.
Two percent of everything in a week. Okay, biggest draws
on records, not even close. Here's the other thing, inventories.
Like if you look at our spr it's overinflated. People
look at you and go, we have three hundred and
eighty million barrels left or three hundred and fifty million

(59:23):
barrels left or whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
No, we don't.

Speaker 19 (59:25):
You can't take that reserve lower than one hundred and
eighty million barrels. You'll cave in the salt caverns that
hold it. Right, So if you're still shut ten to
fourteen days from now, you're effectively done. You're effectively out
of global inventory.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
Right.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
So what is the market doing right now?

Speaker 19 (59:48):
The market is playing a game that's worked for fifteen years,
but you haven't worked with this now.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Is that to say that nothing is for certain? Nothing
is for certain.

Speaker 19 (59:58):
And what I've seen in the last fifteen years and
even this period of time, if you would have told
me the straight ohole News was shut for nine weeks
and WTI Crewed was trading sub one hundred, I literally
would have laughed in your face and said, take your
child's book somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
So to say that Trump can't somehow.

Speaker 19 (01:00:19):
Wiggle out of this without oil going over one hundred
and thirty, I can't put it outside the realm of possibility.
But I actually think you're at a point where every
single day oil stays here, you're just backlogging the pain.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Yeah, that's because that's it right there. You're putting off
the inevitable, yes, and the longer because here's what's not happening.
We still haven't seen a rise in rid counts. There
is no drilling. And here's the deal. You're gonna need
new supply to come back.

Speaker 19 (01:00:48):
On and fill in some of these holes because some
of the supply that's there ain't coming back, Meaning you've
got five to seven hundred thousand barrels of Russian production
that isn't coming back. With whether the straight opens or not,
it's going to take longer to fix those refineries.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
We don't we still don't know what the refinery damage
is in the Middle East.

Speaker 19 (01:01:07):
No, if the rumors I'm hearing about from people in
the know about how badly our bases have been damaged
over there. So from what I'm hearing, we have taken
massive damage on our bases over there that is not
being reported. That's what I'm hearing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Yeah's and the reports that are coming in now is
they were way worse. And that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
By the way, if you would have told people Zach
Kuwait has not exported one barrel of oil in thirty
days and it's still sub one hundred people doing. What
the hell are you talking? Did they come up with
some magic voodoo that makes things work?

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Has everybody got a little nuclear battery, But the amount
of damage, they're worried, both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and
others are worried. They told us not to use their airspace,
not to use it. They kind of capitulated a little bit,
but they're worried because their thought process is Iran is
going to be able to reach US, and this is
going to do way more damage than than people realize.

Speaker 19 (01:02:03):
Well, yeah, the other problem about them job owning oil
down is it hasn't pushed down demand much, right, so
you're drawing faster. Look, I am not saying that this
is going to happen, all right, but what is so
scary about this situation.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Is and I need I need people to understand listen
near this.

Speaker 19 (01:02:26):
Okay, when you think about the other issues that we've
had with Trump, like if you think about the tariff
arguments with China and all that kind of stuff, Trump
was able to back out of those negat negotiations at
any time they didn't go his way because everybody, including China,
we don't have to say that we have a sort

(01:02:46):
of damicles over their head.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Everybody knows it.

Speaker 19 (01:02:49):
And it's access to the US dollar and more importantly,
access to the US markets.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
You have to have them, even China has to have it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
Right.

Speaker 19 (01:02:56):
Well, there's things that we have to have from China too,
like rare earth metals, magnets, things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
Right.

Speaker 19 (01:03:03):
So, but bottom line is Trump was able to push
as hard as he wanted, and then any moment he chose,
he was able to call no joy and the default
position was just right back to where he started. So
it's actually one of the reasons that I was somewhat
I was actually in favor of a lot of the
tariff negotiations because I just sat there and I went, look,
if he doesn't get any movement from them, then we

(01:03:25):
end up right where we are.

Speaker 22 (01:03:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
There's no worse for the wear. We can only get improvements.

Speaker 19 (01:03:30):
Now could piss some people off, which isn't good, but
I just didn't see it as this big a This
is completely different. And all the things that they're doing
to kind of tamp things down and hold things under control,
they're making it worse, yes, right, because what they're doing
is you have not had a serious In some parts

(01:03:54):
of the world, you have, but you have not had
a really big crunch to demand.

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
Right.

Speaker 19 (01:03:58):
You haven't had a ton of demand instruction because you
haven't let the price go up. You haven't seen the
supply reaction. Drill rigs still haven't moved. So the fact
that you're now at the point of this process now
where the fact that oil hasn't gone up is actually
making the situation worse.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
You're you're you're, you're at that point now.

Speaker 19 (01:04:19):
Meaning if you don't want a humanitarian crisis and you
want this situation to end really soon, higher oil is
your friend, right, It just is because the longer the
price stays down here, right, you're suppressing that yours. It's
like an immuno response. It's like an immune response suppression. Right,

(01:04:40):
You're like, oh, well we killed the pain and sorry
and oh we killed the pain. Well, it's like, yeah,
but you also ended the impetus for the doctor to
come in the room and operate.

Speaker 13 (01:04:51):
Right.

Speaker 19 (01:04:51):
The patient doesn't feel any pain anymore. So the cold
reality is is that what you're seeing in the price
action from oil is just not reflective of the storage numbers.
If you want to get out and do the math
on your own, the numbers are out there and you'll
see it. We're running out o yep. Okay, we're running
out of one. And what people don't understand is the
moment the strait opens up. Best case scenario. Okay, this

(01:05:15):
is from Chevron, This is from the CIA. This is
from research departments that did studies on this for the
last several years prior to this thing even popping off
the best thing we can tell, and I think that
it's fairly realistic. But I also think it's somewhat optimistic
because we don't know the situation with the minds. What
kind of minds there are. They actually have a surprising

(01:05:36):
number of very dumb minds. Yes, so not stuff that
you can just turn off, right, stuff that you've actually
got to go retrieve.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
So not even considering that you're still a month to
two months out. Once the strait is.

Speaker 19 (01:05:51):
Fully opened, right, that means you returned to the same
Now here's the thing we don't know. What i RAN
strategy further strait going through is they're going to contract
a toll.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
What i RAN has said is when they open, their opening.

Speaker 19 (01:06:07):
Will be a portion of what used to go through originally,
and they will gradually work up there.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Here's my point.

Speaker 19 (01:06:14):
If you fully opened and just said no tolls, free
for all, everybody can move through, you're still gonna draw
inventories for another two months, Okay, Then you need to
think about the fact that you will be sitting on
record low global oil storage period and we're going to
hit that number that's already baked into the cake, meaning

(01:06:36):
even if it open, even if the straightfully opens tonight,
we will see record low global oil storage, just based
on the reality on the ground right now.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
Okay, So all I can tell people is, guys, the
price right now is not now.

Speaker 19 (01:06:52):
If you did pivot like in the next twenty four
to forty eight hours and you did get a deal,
do I think oil necessarily go to one thirty?

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
No?

Speaker 19 (01:07:01):
But at some point you get past the headline part
of this. Yes, And even if you're open, I still.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
Think you're going to one fifteen, one twenty.

Speaker 5 (01:07:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:07:10):
And I think there's a good chance when this ends,
I think there's a good chance that oil starts going
up after that, because then there's gonna be no it's
like a sell the news, right There's no reason to
short it anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
So what I'll just tell people, we bought more oil yesterday,
we bought more today. Absolutely. Talking to Zach Abrahm, chief
afflent officer, bold Or Capital, people want to reach out,

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
Hearing from reaching every one of you. Got a text
from the three to six to oh saying why is
gen X the forgotten generation? And I said, it's because
we're the smallest generation and we are very small comparatively

(01:10:18):
to millennials, Gen Z Alpha and of course the boomers.
We are the smallest generation. But it doesn't mean we
aren't the coolest generation, because that we are. And you
know how I know because much like today's kids, we
got words too. Now it's time for the urban word
of the day. The young have the vocabulary all their own,

(01:10:41):
and we break it down for you. It's called the
urban word of the day. I'm going to give us
a little urban word of the day via gen X style.
I said this the other day. I was talking about
words at work. I was joking around and fat and

(01:11:02):
people would are like, you can't say somebody's fat. I said,
oh yeah, you can look at the lady and go, girl,
you are fat. And they would be like, what pretty
hot and tempting phat fat, not quite the fat that
you were thinking about. Kids. You see, we too, gen
X have words and we use those words. My favorite

(01:11:24):
of all, though still used to this day's cool beans.
Cool beans, baby, that's cool beans. It's my favorite. You
know how I know because my son's nickname is bean
and my daughter her middle name is actually bean. Huh
huh huh. Yeah, that's your urban word of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
Now you know, little gen X style there. We are
a small generation, but a generation that is the most
independent by far. That is something I love. Three two, three, five,

How could you not talk aliens? It is a must

(01:12:30):
talk a little bit about aliens as well. I've got
your finally Friday sounds, because finally it's Friday, and thank
goodness for that. And of course iron what will happen,
what won't happen? Where do we go from here? Or
is this the new norm at least for a while.
We're gonna find that out because it's exhausting. I think

(01:12:50):
we can all agree on that. If you miss any
of the show, shame on you grab the podcast straight
ahead our number three right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
This is the Chad Benson's Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 5 (01:13:28):
The war is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Still kind of going? Is that a good way to
say it? I think it's kind of going. And because
of the kind of going, it doesn't mean that it's raging,
but it doesn't mean that it feels like the one

(01:13:50):
page memo is going to lead to something immediate as
far as let's get this thing done and let's start
getting serious about, you know, crossing the d's dot and
the ies kind of thing. They traded fire yesterday? What
did Trump says the love tap?

Speaker 15 (01:14:06):
The administration says that iron fired unprovoked on three American
Navy destroyers in the Strait, the US swiftly heading back,
the President telling me in a phone call quote, it's
just a love tap.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
But Iran does not see it that way. Now, accusing the.

Speaker 15 (01:14:20):
US of violating the ceasefire, promising to deliver a crushing
response of US attacks continue.

Speaker 5 (01:14:27):
Could they.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
As far as what like seek all of our ships
and stuff. No, they don't have to, you know. What
they have to do make the other people's lives miserable
around there, meaning Saudi Arabia, UAE, things of that nature.
Keep doing that. And it's funny when we talk to
our buddy GM here in a little bit. But you know,
he and I have chat about this before, and he's like,

(01:14:51):
look how miserable Iran makes everybody around there and whatnot.
And I said, yeah, I get that. But there's a
reason the other night that Saudi Arabia and the UA
told America you're you're not going to launch attacks from here.
You're not. That's not going to happen. Iron looks at
this and says, this entire region hates us. They all

(01:15:13):
hate us. We get blamed for everything. And yes, the
regime is awful. They've done horrible things. Nobody is denying
any of that. But that being said, they feel like
they're backed into the corner. And if you think about
it outside of proxies, it's really you know, because China

(01:15:38):
and in Russia like anything. They use them to poke
at us and have somewhat of a friend in the region.
But China is getting closer to Saudi Arabia, China is
getting closer to the UAE and several others. So, but

(01:15:59):
the you who's them for the opportunity to piss us
off more than anything else. So they're in their mind,
they're surrounded. Think about it. In their mind, they're surrounded.
They're surrounded by everybody who wants to kill them, to
blow them up, to eliminate them. So you come at

(01:16:23):
the world in a much different place, and that place
is we're expecting you to come after us. So we're
going to do everything we can to try to get
at you. Now, the question is can they survive much longer?
This is Amos Hawkstein. He was at one time the

(01:16:45):
Middle East Secretary for the Biden administration, So this is
the guy that handled the Middle East, and he was
asked about how long can they Iran last?

Speaker 5 (01:16:56):
They can handle the pain.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
I'm saying they can handle the pain, and the air
view is how long can you handle the pain? And
I'll tell you this, We're going towards a cliff on
oil and oil products.

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
By the end of this month. Physical shortages.

Speaker 4 (01:17:11):
We have physical shortage already, but it just in countries
we don't care about, okay, So then they will write
because they're poor. But then it'll go to middle income
countries like Vietnam and Thailand. Then it goes to Japan
and Korea, and then it comes here.

Speaker 5 (01:17:25):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
You want to fly out of the United States, you
can say, we have oil, we have jet fuel, Okay,
can take it with you when you fly out. You've
got to be able to refill somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
By the way, they don't let you take it with you.
That would be weird, but they don't. So try to
take it on there, and you're going to be in
a situation where they're going to get a little upset
with you. What do you got. I got some jet
fuel just in case we get somewhere and you guys
need them. It's an act of attrition right now. Their
pressure is massive. There's no doubt. There is no doubt

(01:18:01):
the impact on Iran as far as the economic impact
is in the billions. Right I think our government is
saying closer to ten to fifteen billions somewhere in and
around there. But they also have a lot of drones
and missiles left.

Speaker 4 (01:18:23):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
They could, in theory, continue to wage a nuisance nightmare
for the United States military, the golf partners, and neighbors,
and in doing so, as we heard Zach from Bulwark

(01:18:50):
last hour, continue to push oil higher and higher. And
that is as we've talked about the three MS military
market midterms, it's an active attrition at this moment in time.

(01:19:10):
So there's no doubt there's pressure on them. But you
just heard for Old aim is there saying, Look, they're
built to withstand the pain. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt,
but it doesn't mean they're going to cave. And as
we've seen anything, they're not caving the way that this
administration was probably hoping and thinking and being told it

(01:19:33):
would sue. It's going to be very interesting in the
coming days. Could something happen this weekend? It is possible.
Do I think something's going to happen this weekend? I
hope not. But the pressure right now is big on
this administration. There is no doubt they are feeling this

(01:19:56):
pressure as prices continue to rise and the warning signs
they're flashing and their.

Speaker 13 (01:20:05):
Loud whirlpool which makes refrigerators and washing machines, warned that
the war caused a quote recession level decline in consumer
confidence as customers put off those big ticket purchases. McDonald's
CEO is citing heightened anxiety from higher gas prices that
is going to disproportionately impact low income consumers.

Speaker 2 (01:20:26):
Yeah, big time. You know. Trump can sit there and
you know I'm watching the Oday. He says, I don't
care if it goes to two hundred dollars a barrel
and it's eight dollars a gallon, it'll be worth it. Well,
you're you're fine. You and your family are are making
billions of dollars and you're doing okay. I think we

(01:20:49):
can all kind of agree that as far as you know, financially,
you guys eight. But if you're living paycheck to paycheck
and you're you're feeling and seeing this, and you're seeing
that even if you support him, you can't think this
is a good idea. You can't think, oh, yeah, that's
what I want. And that's where the midterms come in.

Speaker 13 (01:21:09):
Gas prices are now of fifty cents in just the
last two weeks, the national average hitting four dollars and
fifty six cents a gallon. That means if you are
driving at Toyota Camri, it is now on average twenty
one dollars more expensive every time you fill up compared
to the start of March when the war began.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
And we have not felt the impact of inflation yet.
Yes it's there, but we have. It's there in the
gas and in some of our goods. But now that,
as we say, the knock on effect, the domino effect,
that is starting to happen. My producer locally here he goes, dude,

(01:21:50):
I went to the store the other night. And he's
a single dude, and he kind of goes the story.
Every couple days. He goes, I bought enough for day
and a half, two days of food, and it had
been like sixty six dollars. He goes. I know some
stuff was rising, he goes, but that right there gave
me sticker shock. Yeah, and they're going to spin it
however they want. Understand that they're going to come out

(01:22:13):
and spend it. The other day, Kevin hasse if I'm
the Democrats, I am running this over and over again
about how out of touch this administration is. Listen to
what he says, here Kevin hass If you don't know
who he is, he looks like the guy that got
beat up every day in school then becomes the villain
in every eighties movie you can think of.

Speaker 20 (01:22:35):
And so the consumer is really really firing on all cylinders,
just like the corporate sector you're seeing in the earnings reports.
And they're doing that because they have so much more
money in their pockets. In fact, I had the head
of one of the big five banks in my office
yesterday going through the credit card data, and just as
Secretary Vessence said, credit card spending is through the roof.
They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on

everything else too.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
And he said it with a smile. Independence right now, independence,
which is the most important segment of the voting blocks
that are out there, are independent voters. Trump is so
far underwater that Harry Enton said, I thought it was
a mistake. I thought I inputed the information wrong. He

(01:23:21):
went from a plus nine to a minus seventy. You're
not going to win anything with that, no matter how
much you redistrict, and boy they're doing it, you cannot
take a majority Black city.

right now. I want everybody to hear this. Republicans, Democrats,
everybody who's running for office will take any vote they

a win. And Republicans will take every single If an
entire district was trans black, free identifying playing in boys

(01:24:25):

(01:28:49):
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, is your ex, your Insta, your
YouTube and more? Now you know what's trending on the
internet here in the Chad Benson Show. Ivermect him vivek

(01:29:10):
rim Swami. He won pretty much everything. I think he's
got a real good shot to being the governor of Ohio.
But it's going to be interesting because that's kind of
still a purple place. Very few of those left and
Tennessee also trending because of the redistricting some of the
other things that are going on. Obviously, the hands of IRUs.
People are worried, is this the pandemic? Is this it?

(01:29:32):
Should we freak out. How many masks do we need
to get to save ourselves? What's California going to do?
Are we starting to lock down yet? How is this working?

Speaker 6 (01:29:43):
Look, I'm worried about the people on the ship. We
may see a few more cases. We may even see
a dozen or so, make mosse cases. Are we going
to see hundreds or thousands of cases? Not from this outbreak?

Speaker 7 (01:29:52):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
What? No? Not from this out because it's hard to catch.

Speaker 6 (01:29:59):
This salive us certainly also through through respiratory droplets, the
way we remember with covid and flu. But you actually
just need a much greater exposure because with covid and
flu you have a lot of upper respiratory virus and
so it comes out prett easily large loads. This virus
really digs in deep into the lungs and when you
breathe out, you just release two little virus for it

(01:30:20):
to really spread.

Speaker 5 (01:30:21):
Effective.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
Good to know?

Speaker 6 (01:30:22):
Is there anything else, Duck? You can tell us if
you have good reason. Let's say you sat next to
somebody for six hours or eight hours, not a plane.
The key thing in my mind is just a monitor
your symptoms. Remember, you don't spread this. There's no evidence
that people spread it. Asymptomatically. So if you don't have symptoms,
you're not contigious.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
There we go right there, doctor telling you right there
this there's nothing you have to worry about. I hope
coming up, our buddy Jim Kennedy joins the program. We're
going to talk about everything, including aliens. Chad Benson shown Chad.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, The Time of the Week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Talk talk good about Jim Kennedy, Kennedy. It's the public.
Let's see you, sir as We're talking about politics, pop culture.

Speaker 5 (01:31:25):
And all the things.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
I continue to say this Trump has an Obama problem,
and that Obama problem is whatever he does, he has
to feel like his deals better than Obama. And I
think he's painted himself into a corner now where Hubris
of what took place with Venezuela and this I have

(01:31:50):
to win and it has to be better. Obama is
going to put us in a situation that's not going
to help us.

Speaker 18 (01:31:55):
I've actually kind of thought through this and wasn't anything,
certainly anything that's Trump said, But you know what I've decided,
while understanding it's going to pay higher for gas prices,
I'm in on this until we if as long as
we can do this without putting significant numbers of boots
on the ground, this is the best opportunity we've had
in almost fifty years, forty seven years to get rid

(01:32:17):
of the Iranian regime. This is good for the world,
this is good for the region, this is good for
the people of Iran. If I've got to pay a
little bit more in gas, I'm willing to do that.
Not that I, of course, have the ability to make
that decision for everybody else. And yes, I understand it's
going to be a little bit of a problem for people,
put a little bit of stress on some people's household budgets.
But I think we've got to continue this until we

(01:32:37):
can get rid of the regime, as long as we
can do it without putting feet, you know, without putting boots.

Speaker 5 (01:32:41):
On the ground. I'm in for whatever it takes.

Speaker 18 (01:32:44):
If it's two months, and let's continue it for two months,
because at some point the Arenian government's going to have
to break, and at some point I believe that people
will hopefully rise up and basically get rid of the people,
the Revolutionary Guard, and the powers that be. So I've
kind of change in my position and decided that I'm
all in on it as long as we're not going
to be putting large amounts of boots on the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
But here's my thing, okay, and if we this whole
thought of okay, where do we start the grievance?

Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
People are like, well, nineteen seventy nine, okay, but what
about nineteen fifty three. What about the fact that we
overthrew their legitimate government to install a puppet that robbed
them blind and abused them, and then we got behind
their neighbor And it's like this weird situation where, yes,
you know what, they're awful the regime. Nobody's denying that.

(01:33:39):
That being said, there's a part for us to play
in this, and we want to kind of ignore it.
And a younger generation, right, they don't just like we've
talked about with the Holocaust, that's grandma and Grandpa's if
you're in your twenties, they don't remember that Israel and
the sacredness of that. They don't remember the same thing here.
They don't remember four hundred and forty four days, you

(01:33:59):
know what. They're just trying to put gas in their
car and they want to live without twelve roommates.

Speaker 5 (01:34:05):
Yep, No, absolutely, you're you're correct.

Speaker 18 (01:34:07):
To me, a lot of it is is, yes, there
is the history and eighty three, the Berlin bombing, seventy nine,
taking the hostages, but I'm kind of looking at it
more at just in general.

Speaker 5 (01:34:17):
Well, okay, their grievance would be with America, of course,
because we're the ones that have been bombing them, but
they could.

Speaker 18 (01:34:24):
To me, it shows how bad of a citizen of
the world they are by going out and launching stuff
at the UAE and other areas you know that are
basically people they didn't really have a beef with with
these Saudis also that they don't have a beef with
they and the beef with us. Okay, sure they're trying
to shoot in some cases at our basis, but they're
trying to basically at that point just create having the

(01:34:46):
whole thing also with what they're doing with the straits
of her moves and basically the problems they're they're creating
there is just to me, it's like, these are just
bad people. These are people that are causing problems and
if we don't get rid of them now, this could
be something similar to the Gulf War. Where Bush or
Gulf War one where hw Bush didn't want to march
into Bagdad and called it quits and walked away from it.

(01:35:08):
And then we wound up going back twelve years later
or whatever it was. They yeah, roughly twelve years later
to take out Soada Mussein. Not that that necessarily the
problem from nine to eleven, but that was the path
that we took, and we gotten rid of Sada Mussein
twelve years earlier.

Speaker 5 (01:35:22):
Not say nine to eleven would it happen, but we
wouldn't had the problem. We wouldn't have had gol War two.

Speaker 18 (01:35:26):
So let's take our opportunity while we are here, and
the mouth we've already spent on this, and the amount
that we've already invested in this. Not that I'm saying
we should ignore sunk sunk costs, fallacies, but we definitely
is the best opportunity we've got in forty seven years.
There is nobody that really other than the Russians and
the Chinese, and they just do it to mess with
America that are really supporting the Iranians. And I'm not

(01:35:48):
really sure how strong their support is because they know
that they're not really supporting a person who's got a
lot of credit on the world stage.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Yeah, talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research.
We moved from there to and we're gonna get more
into this other redistricting side of stuff and craziness and
chaos here in you know, Tennessee. Quick snapshot. At what
point do we ask these people who are all redistricting. Hey,

(01:36:18):
I hear you guys say, and you're least seeing it
out loud. Now, No, we're just doing this because we
want to win more seats. What point do we go,
are you guys going to serve the people any better?
Or is this just really about you, not just.

Speaker 5 (01:36:30):
Really about them?

Speaker 18 (01:36:30):
And actually what this probably does is just this In
case you thought that your politicians were working for you,
guess what, You've got pretty well proof out of their
own mouths now that there really are, and they're just
working to keep themselves in power. And maybe that will
kind of finally be a change where we start electing
different people.

Speaker 5 (01:36:49):
And I'm not saying that that's a left or right issue.

Speaker 18 (01:36:51):
That's politics in general has become kind of a sesspool
and a sewer in general, regardless of the party. I'd
like to believe it's more Democrat, but it's probably not
necessarily completely a Democrat problem. And there are Republicans that
fall into that group too that you talk about the
word pelebrity, and that perfectly example of a lot of this.
There are people that want to make a brand for themselves,
that want to go out there and basically find their

(01:37:14):
you know, they weren't successful in business, they are necessarily
the best educated people. They're not necessarily you know, they
can't play a sport, they can't be an actor. Well
maybe they can be an actor, but they can be
a politician. And if they can con enough people to
vote for them regards if they really want to help
the voters or not, they can get elected to office.
And from there, you want to get on the AOC
bandwagon and create your brand and basically make yourself as

(01:37:37):
popular as as possible and elevate your so you can
always go out there and get a TV gig when
you're done, or a podcast or something like that where
you can basically create yourself a nice way of life
and if the voters get lost in the cause, well, hey,
it's about me and I royally want I need a
better life I need to be able to drive a portion.
I need to be able to have a house on

(01:37:57):
the beach in Malibu.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
Yeah, well, that sounds like a good thing house. I'm
not gonna lie to you California's chaos and craziness. But
if somebody wants to give me a you know, a
house on Malibu beach, beautiful, gorgeous, you know, maybe three bedrooms,
four bath, nice pool, I'll take it. I appreciate that.
Probably not going to happen because I live out here
in Tennessee. Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy's student of public

(01:38:19):
policy research. All right, Jim, let's talk about real stuff.
Nobody gives a ratsass about the rest of that stuff
because aliens. So Tim Burchett met with Trump yesterday. There's
going to be the start of stuff here today, trickling out.
But more and more, several pastors now have kind of
confirmed that there was this big conversation about what may

(01:38:43):
be coming brace the self kind of thing. It's interesting,
you know, and all kidding aside. I've always thought there's
got to be something else out there. I mean, there's
just too many variables just for the size of the universe.
We can't even wrap head around how big it is
to not think there's something else. But then if we

(01:39:03):
were to go, well what about dimensional that's also a
possibility as well. What if we're just the sims for
another species.

Speaker 18 (01:39:11):
Well, that's Elon Musk's old argument that we're just an
ora Acchi was also Scott Adams where passed Away was
always talking about we're just in a simulation and we're basically,
you know, we're puppets for some alien beings or something
that's basically watching us and letting us run around and
exists just for their pleasure and stuff. The dimensional thing,
that's something I got to get my head wrapped around.
I was talking about that a couple weeks ago. We

(01:39:32):
were talking about the people that have disappeared and maybe
that there is some sort of a dimensional thing involved
with that. But it's going to be an interesting situation
because they can talk about the pastors and the religious leaders.
Is that, you know, this is something that battles and
going on since since the creation of religion. Is it
the argument between or the fight or the conflict between
science and religion? Like I had a friend that was

(01:39:57):
very very smart, grew up in a Catholic household, and
he went out in high school and did the math
on Noah's Ark and basically figured out that there was
no possible way based upon the measurements that that that
they could have put all of the animals in the
arc that they claimed there simply wasn't face unless you
were literally like vacuum packing them into the into the
end of the arc. And while his parents were proud

(01:40:19):
of him for his skills, I d're the ire of
his very very Catholic father because he did not like
hearing things like that, because he'd grown up on the.

Speaker 5 (01:40:27):
Bible and grown up on Catholicism.

Speaker 18 (01:40:29):
So there's going to be interesting situations like that where
religion is going to run into a problem with science,
depending about how this all shakes out. What there's, you know,
whatever is revealed, whatever it turns out to be, if
it's like you said, multi dimensional, or.

Speaker 5 (01:40:41):
If it's people that have figured out how to travel
faster than light.

Speaker 18 (01:40:43):
I've always believed that, maybe just because I was a
big or not a big, but I was a you know,
I'd like to believe that the science somewhat around.

Speaker 5 (01:40:49):
Star Trek, while it is made up that there is
the ability, even.

Speaker 18 (01:40:52):
Though Einstein says not that we can travel faster than light,
and that would basically be the that would be the key,
the breakthrough that would be needed for us to begin
exploring the start. Now, why what we do in the
space program is pretty is great and maybe you can
even say phenomenal based upon you know, what you could
think of that could be out there, and the ability

(01:41:14):
to move faster than the speed of light across Star
Sism and across the galaxy, that would be completely an
utterly revolutionary to our species and to the world.

Speaker 5 (01:41:23):
And how that would react.

Speaker 18 (01:41:25):
Just as long as the people aren't something out of
like the for the Independence Day movie and are here
to basically make us their slaves and you know, loot
our planet and move along. That would probably be a
bad day for everybody. But otherwise, if it's not that,
then it could be a very good day. Maybe they
could be nice, like the Vulcans weren't help us show
us how to move faster than the speed of light.

Speaker 2 (01:41:44):
Jim, you've met humans. They're pretty they're pretty stupid at times.
How do you think the world will react? See? I
think that to me has always been the issue of
why they this has been such a secret, or the
worry about it is because if this gets out and
it looks like there's gonna be some stuff that starts
to come out. I have a feeling sometimes you get
a little closer to Epstein than you know, all of

(01:42:06):
a sudden, Hey look at this, We're got aliens. But
that being said, the fear factor of trying to figure
out if is there god, Oh my god, are these
are gods? Are they going to eat us? You know?
They people trying to wrap their heads around stuff. There
will always be those people to go I knew it
and move on. But a vast majority of people this
would be the greatest thing in our history, and I

(01:42:29):
think it's always been a secret. If it indeed we
find out it's real, it is because human beings can't
handle it.

Speaker 18 (01:42:36):
No, the action would be mass panic, I'm pretty sure,
which is why they haven't been released. And I agree
one hundred percent. I was thinking exactly the same thing
we started talking about this was you're going to have
an Epstein effect. I think in a lot of this
because there could be things that even Trump understands that nah,
we can't tell people because yeah, Bush didn't tell them
Obama didn't tell them, Biden didn't tell them, Clinton didn't

(01:42:57):
tell them, because yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:42:59):
No, we we just can't.

Speaker 18 (01:43:00):
They would you would, They would go beyond mass panic.
You would have anarchy, you would have chaos in the
streets and and things like that. So yeah, because you're right,
we are to We do tend to be reactionary type
of thing. We are humans, We are tend to be
emotional at times.

Speaker 5 (01:43:14):
I wouldn't panic.

Speaker 18 (01:43:15):
I would just my question is are they going to
come and conquerors are not If they're not and they're
happy to let us live big win otherwise, Yeah, it
might be a little concerned about it. But running around
the planet and you know, looting and blowing up or
burning down buildings not going to really help us with
the aliens because they're probably going to either be able
to handle it one way or another better than we are.

(01:43:36):
So yeah, I'm not thinking the mass casts is what
my option wal be, but I would not be surprising. Again,
you'd be be very interesting for the religious leaders and
what that's going to mean to them. And this is
going to mean a challenge for them depending upon how
it you know, how it how it breaks down and
what exactly is the truth.

Speaker 5 (01:43:52):
And I'm putting that in air quotes when I say it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:54):
It's going to be interesting, no doubt about that. His
name is Jim Kennedy's the one and only Jim Kennedy
