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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have been liberated, That's what I heard.
Do you feel liberated?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Now?

Speaker 4 (00:24):
I'm going to give you a breakdown as best that
I can, based on the fact that I have no
idea how long this is going to last. I have
no idea and neither does anybody else on how reactions
will be from other countries and what is the President's

(00:46):
appetite if the markets and the people decide these tariffs
are too much for us to bear, because it's still
a political world, and the politics will lead even if
it may be the right thing to do when it

(01:09):
comes to imposing some, not all, of these tariffs.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
April second, twenty twenty five, will forever be remembered as
today American industry was reborn, the day America's destiny was reclaimed,
and the day that we began.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
To make America wealthy again. We're going to make it
wealthy good, and.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Wealthy, good and wealthy, obviously, and I'm gonna say this.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Trump is right in some ways on.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
The way that we've allowed many countries to take advantage
of us. On the other side of it, we became
a consumer based nation, so we're addicted to cheap goods.
And because we're a dip addicted to cheap goods, the

(02:06):
consumer has driven.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
This.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
The consumer has driven the way that we react, the
way that we have have have driven the economy. The
consumer has done that.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
So you're having to not only say, look, we're gonna
go out, we're gonna make it an even playing field
for businesses in your country or else you can't come here,
but you also have to try to retrain us who
like two dollars socks.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I said that yesterday and.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
On my local show, and somebody said, where can you
get two dollars socks? And I'm like, right here, you know,
on the Amazon. And they're like, well, that's twelve bucks.
I said, it's not. It is seven socks, seven pairs
of socks for like eleven ninety nine. I said, you
break it down, it's a dollar eighty eight to soccer

(03:04):
or whatever it was. I said, we like that. If
you have to pay five bucks a sock, you're like,
we're addicted to it. And by the way, that wasn't
some cheap brand. I think there were Haynes, and there
were Dicky socks. We've become addicted to cheap goods. There's
a reason.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
And you know how I know this because I'll go
into stores, much like the rest of you who I've seen,
and you'll look at something and then you'll pull out
your phone and go, can I get this on Amazon cheaper? Yes, yes,
we do.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
So you're having to retrain all of us. Is there
a political appetite for this? That's the big thing. Do
you have the political appetite to hold on when things
go a different way? One of the great things about
Trump and his ability to maneuver within the politics of

(04:06):
the ever changing winds of how people approve or disapprove
of something has been incredible. That being said, for a
lot of people, the worry about are we headed towards
a recession? Are we headed towards an already expensive world

(04:28):
getting even more expensive without wages rising? Because remember the tariff,
which is a tax on us the consumer, that will
go up before the wages catch up. And is it

(04:49):
a fantasy to think we're going to bring back all
of this stuff here.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
To produce in this country.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
There's so much that goes into it, and ten percent
across the board. By the way, for everybody.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
You'll be imposing universal tariffs, a baseline tariff of ten
percent on all imports from all countries. So this is
certain to upend the global trading system and could have
a serious impact on the global economy.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Some people absolutely think this is a great thing. It's
a great day for America. It's going to be incredible.
This this is going to change everything. We're going to
be doing all of these great things. It's back to
the fifties and sixties and manufacturing here and great jobs
in the middle class, exploding into prosperity, which sounds great.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
If we weren't so price focused with cheap goods.

Speaker 8 (05:51):
I think these tags are incredible. They do so much
for this country. First of all, there's the issue of
national security. How can you be a sovereign nation if
you are relying on your greatest enemy for pharmaceuticals, for steel,
for aluminum, for lumber, for the very ships that you
will need to fight them, right.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
It's absurd.

Speaker 8 (06:13):
Obviously we need to have a base in manufacturing for
our national security.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
I mean we found that out during COVID that we
need to figure out how we bring certain stuff and
on shore it again and the Chips Act that Biden
put in, and the acceleration of that with Trump and
several others to pour more money into building certain things here,
in particular the Taiwanese and building the chips is extremely important.

(06:46):
But a lot of what he's talking about is the
everyday goods. And remember, bringing these things back here doesn't
mean that jobs are coming back here, and doesn't mean
that tomorrow morning they're going to open up all of
these factories and everybody's gonna get back to work. This

(07:10):
takes time. It takes years. And when I said earlier,
I don't know how long these last. That's important too,
because if you're an investor, and I saw this example yesterday,
I thought it was it was brilliant. You want me
to invest in a company that makes washing machines, okay,

(07:31):
where we've imposed tariffs on whoever makes washing machines this week, Pakistan, India, Mexico,
whatever it is. So now we're going to be more
than competitive. Okay, great, So we'll will be the same price. Now,
our ingenuity will will will outdo the others. Fantastic, So

(07:55):
you want me to put money into this? You want
me to invest in said company?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
All right?

Speaker 4 (07:59):
I can do that, but I'm gonna hold off on
that for a little while. Well why would you do that.
We're doing all this because I don't know how long
this lasts. You see, the minute that you pull these
tariffs back off and they've dropped it down to zero,
people are still going to be consumed with cheap goods.
And it's gonna make me not want to invest, because

(08:22):
even if I do invest, it's still going to be
more expensive to produce that here. And until we change
our mindset and say spending more on American goods is
better than cheap goods from elsewhere, well, people will still
be price motivated.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Richard quest give us a lesson.

Speaker 9 (08:47):
It will send it into reverse. Let there be no
doubt about this. The President said today a whole load
of economic nonsense, things that we know simple will not happen.
He talks about it being great for the economy and
it's going to boost growth. It will not. Look, I've

(09:09):
studied there's a million which way is upside down, and
many of the people in that rose garden know it.
The President conveniently forgot about the pain Aldrich Act of
nineteen ten. He ignored the Formercumber Act of he went
straight through smooth Fork, and then he gets to this

(09:29):
nirvana where billions of dollars are going to come in.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Where does he think billions coming from.

Speaker 9 (09:37):
They're coming from importers. Importers will pay because they get
something known as a customs schedule when the goods come
off the boat, and that is an invoice, and the
importer pays, and the importer passes it to the wholesaler.
The wholesaler passes it to the distributor. The distributor get
your wallet out, passes.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
It to you, you, me, everybody.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
I don't know how this is going to go because
I don't know how long they're going to be on
and if this is a prolonged battle, which is also
one of the things I have a little bit of
an issue with. I feel like you're opening up several
fronts in this battle rather than picking and choosing in
certain areas and coming at it in that direction. So

(10:24):
on one side, you have people who are saying, this is
the great day, this is amazing Americans.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You need to shut up.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
You need to just realize this is great for us,
and it's going to be amazing and incredible. And on
the other side of people saying this is going to
be a disaster, and all of this is predicated on
how long these things last, which again we don't know.

Speaker 10 (10:45):
The fact is that President Trump has been saying that
he supports tariffs because he has the intuition of what
we talked about, how those incomes are not gaining because.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
We're losing the jobs abroad.

Speaker 10 (10:54):
He's been saying that for forty years and he just
won a landslide election.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Really in the US.

Speaker 10 (10:59):
So it's the idea that it's bad politics for tariffs, well, well,
the voters who voted for Trump should have heard that.
And the bottom line is the reason it's good politics
is people know what happened to their communities, just like
you remember what it was like when we were growing up,
and President Trump is going to fix it with this policy.
And it's absolutely an incredible day in the history of
American economic history because we're finally stopping the trade war.

(11:22):
We've actually it's not we're starting a trade war. We're
stopping the trade war because we're going to once again
build everything here in the US and maybe.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
The way that we can, and we'll find out what
it is that we're going to build. If indeed we
get to that, but even if we do, it isn't
happening tomorrow. It isn't happening next week or next month.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 11 (13:10):
The World the Richest Man and his doge team have
dominated the early days of the administration.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
This is the chainsaw for bureaucrasite.

Speaker 11 (13:19):
But Musk's chainsaw approach to slashing jobs and government programs
sparking anger at town meetings.

Speaker 12 (13:25):
Elon was going to be the main topic tonight and
he's going to continue to be the main topic tonight
because we are all freaking pissed off about this.

Speaker 11 (13:33):
Voters in Wisconsin delivered Musk a firm rebuke, rejecting his
choice for a state Supreme Court seat after the billionaire
campaigned aggressively in the state and poured millions into the race.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yes he did, and I said it yesterday that he
is the face right now of evil for the media
and for people out there who see him as somebody
who's coming in, who's fattening his wallet and destroying democracy?

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Which is a bunch of crap, But you know, I mean,
we considered debated all day. That's not going to solve
any of the things that right now that they're facing
in the immediate future. And how much longer is you
going to be there? Because there is no doubt that
you understand that his appointment. So if you're going to

(14:29):
be appointed like a volunteer like he is, there is
a finite amount of time that you're allowed to stay on.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
So you have a term.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
I think it's I've read several places it's one hundred
and thirty days, it's one hundred and forty days, which
is it?

Speaker 11 (14:45):
Sources toe l ABC News elon Musk's days. Is President
Trump's right hand in the White House could soon be
coming to an end as a quote special government employee.
Musk's appointment was only supposed to last one hundred and
thirty days, but there were hints Trump wanted to keep
him on law longer.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
So you know, even if he would have stayed on
that one hundred and thirty days, which he's going to
that Trump would have ignored any of the things like
that Let's let's be real, that's what he does. The
reality is there's frustration, frustration that things aren't getting done
the way that they hope things would get done. That bureaucracy,

(15:25):
as I have said, is the biggest nightmare of our government,
which is the amount of crap, hurdles and insanity three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson shows
your ex and your Instagram right here in the Chad

(15:45):
Benson Show. It is frustrating and he is starting to
feel it, and so is Trump.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Plus, you've got two guys who've got big ego and
at some point in time there's gonna be some tension.
Let's not pretend there's not another thing is the other night.
Let's not pretend that that wasn't a bit of a
kick in the grundle losing in Wisconsin. There was a
lot of money from outside influences for the Democrat, a.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Lot more total than Elon put In.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
But Elon is that phase right now that the media
is built up to be evil because of association with
Donald Trump. There's energy out there and he is a
bit toxic, no doubt about that.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
You know it's not toxic.

It is the Chad Benson, Chot Sun, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
The Chad Benson Show, looking back to Tariff's, the Economy
and whatnot in a little bit. There is a Netflix
show out called Adolescence. It is gripping, It is uncomfortable

(18:20):
at times, and it stirred up a lot of conversation
and debate and you know, we're going to get into some.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Of that right now. And the show centers on a
young kid who.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Is arrested for the murder of a classmate and they
come in guns ablazing to begin the show, and he's
got a mom, a dad, an older sister and everybody's
just taken back, like what the hell happened. It's like
six in the morning, you know, everybody's geting getting ready
for work and school, and it is, like I say,

(18:59):
it is gripping. It is tough to watch at times.
It's also interesting the way they shoot it, because that's
one of the things that I've talked to several people
about is it is a one shot take, so you're
seeing essentially the breakdown of what's going on in a
real time in the scene and they film it as

(19:23):
if it's a play, so a couple camera people, they
follow people around.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
And it is. They just go and it is.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
It is so unique, but it brings up a lot
of things, racism, toxic masculinity, etc. It's that kind of
of thing and it's being talked about even by the
Prime Minister Keir Stammer about this show.

Speaker 14 (19:51):
And what can we do as a society to stop
and prevent young boys being dragged into this world book
of hatred and misogony. And it is young boys predominantly
in this particular instance, So how can we protect young
girls that are at risk? Because obviously that's a very
strong feature of the you know, the documentary of drama.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
It's not a documentary, it's a drama.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
And it is incredible to watch as just from the
how gripping it is and of course they go overboard.
It's all toxic masculinity, it's all of these things.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
It's look, there's a lot to it and.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
It is a very traumatic there's no funny haha, there's
none of that stuff. It's a lot of realism and
Britain has it in a way that is much different.
At this point in time. But you see it here
with young men who are struggling. You know, Andrew Tates
mentioned in this you know, it's it's a lot of

(20:52):
what you see young men going through a crisis, not
just in our country in the West, a crisis of
young men who were upset, who are frustrated, who feel
like the world is basically told them, you guys are
the problem for everything. You guys are the problem for

(21:15):
all the world, from the Trumps to the Tates, to
the Joe Rogans to all you are the problem. One
of the scenes that's gripping, and again he's like thirteen
years old, is the last time that he sees the
lady that's doing the assessment on him about his mental

(21:37):
well being?

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Couldy stand trial? Those kind of things?

Speaker 4 (21:40):
And remember this is all a situation that is filmed
like a play one go this is it. It's not
let's let's do three seconds here, ten seconds there. It
is filmed straight up as one complete shot.

Speaker 14 (21:55):
You've been coming be honest?

Speaker 15 (21:56):
Are you gonna tell Georgiola?

Speaker 16 (21:58):
I think you've spoken to me with honesty.

Speaker 17 (21:59):
Yes, But all I'm advising the judge on is your yes.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
So it doesn't seem like a proper goodbye. It is.

Speaker 14 (22:06):
It doesn't seem like one.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
No, no, we haven't finished. You can I ask you something?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Do you like me?

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I was here as a professional?

Speaker 14 (22:19):
Don't you think like that?

Speaker 18 (22:19):
Then?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
My job was to assess like you as.

Speaker 17 (22:22):
A professional, not like that, not fancy, just as a person.

Speaker 19 (22:27):
Don't you even like me a bit?

Speaker 9 (22:28):
What did you think about me?

Speaker 16 (22:29):
Then?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Desired was really?

Speaker 4 (22:38):
And there are so many moments like that, so many
moments too. You see the father and the mother who
believed that they're good parents, and as they start talking
about toxic man, masculinity, the manisphere, all of these things.
It is again, it is frustrating because I think they
missed the point on a lot of it coming from

(23:01):
a man's point of view. You know, I am a father,
most important thing in my life, right, husband and father
and raising a young boy to have respect but also
to be strong and not to be afraid. And we
over the last four decades have absolutely decided that men

(23:27):
are a useful tool, but nothing more than that. A
useful tool. Yeah you know what, you're okay, we can
use you for what we need, but outside of that,
we can also decide that you're only needed to a

(23:48):
certain level, and it is frustrating. And when you've got
young boys who especially myself a little bit older younger,
who are being told everything you do based on the

(24:09):
fact that you're a boy is toxic. Everything you do
based on the fact that you are a boy when
it comes to learning and you're not sitting in your
chair is a product of bad brain power, ADHD. We
need to drug you. You've got all this.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
We are.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Losing young men at a rapid rate, and we can't.
I've got news for you people, we can't.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
The film was powerful. I thought it made some really
important points.

Speaker 9 (24:45):
I am almost certain it's going to cause a moral
panic and it's.

Speaker 20 (24:49):
Somewhat disconcerting for me having researched this topic to see
this show being brought up in parliament. Policy decisions from
our politicians should be based on sober research rather than
a piece of performance art. Violence towards others and killing people,
mass shootings and things like that is not the only

(25:10):
harm associated within the ideology. You have an opportunity cost
of a generation of young men kind of giving up on.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Dating, and that's a portion of it.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
That these young men are so frustrated with dating because women,
young girls across the board are over it and the
insanity of the anger and the it is so frustrating.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
It is and one of the.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Things as you watch this again, it brings up a
lot of different things, but it's always from the toxic masculine.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Everything's toxic.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Yeah, you know what, there are issues out there, there's
no doubt, But why are there issues? In some case
this is like in the show He's got a father
by all accounts, seems to be a pretty good dad.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Is he perfect? Who is?

Speaker 4 (26:09):
But one of the things they talk about is the Internet.
And I was watching some British kids the other day.
It was on a it was live. I don't know
if it was like GMTV like British television or ITV
one of those things.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
And this kid said something.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
He says, you know, we're all on the internet, my
parents and your parents, right, you know, to his friends.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
But we're not in the same place on the internet. No, no,
we're not.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
And that's why being a part of your child's life
and showing them what is real and what's not real
is important. But there's also a question of why are
young men craving something where they feel like they need this,
the tates of the world and whatnot. Why are they
craving people who, by all accounts are absolutely the worst

(27:02):
because they've been told they're the worst. They've been told
that everything is their fault, that masculinity of any sort
is bad. They've been told that, you know, you can
be gender fluid and you could be this, and even
saying any of these things is is homophobic, racist. You know,

(27:22):
they've been told so many damn things and it's ridiculous.
And you know, I was talking to like a feminist
person the other and I said, what about toxic femininity,
and the whole thought of well, that's.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
That's an Yes, it does exist. By the way, there's
just toxic people.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Because you don't have the same bits of as a
man doesn't mean you can't be toxic.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Of course you can, one hundred percent you can.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
We have issues that we need to address, not just
in our country but globally when it comes to young men,
especially in the West.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
There's no doubt about it.

Speaker 21 (28:07):
We need to redefine strength in men because I think
some people will say that men like me and feminist
women are somehow trying to make men soft and weak.
I don't think this is about making men soft and weak.
I think it's about expanding the definition of strength. We
need more of adult men who are willing to engage
with young men about this content and about the void

(28:27):
in their lives that have led them down, Unfortunately many
of them down the wrong path.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
And redefining that strength. Redefining what it is to be
a man isn't about redefining the man. It's about Look,
this is what men do. This is what men are.
This is part of what.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Nature is about and how we are and what we do.
In this bizarre world over the last fifteen or twenty
years where they tried to blur the lines between gender
and this, that and the other is insane, pushing bizarre ideology,
pushing the world of Somehow along the way, feminism lost
its way.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
To empower a woman.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Meant that you had to step on a man, and
that is absolutely not what they wanted. You talk to
real feminists, my mother, my grandmother, she for a long
time is part of now National Organization Women. Way back
in the day, and we would talk about this. At
no point it was at about stomping down on men.

(29:33):
But we changed, we changed everything with education, We changed.
We made it a woman's world at the detriment of men,
and that doesn't lead to a healthy society.

Speaker 17 (29:47):
Jackson, you've made a connection between political figures like Donald
Trump and the rise of aggressive masculinity, and many other
people share your view. Nearly two thirds of one's survey
that I saw so that men feel praised and accepted
when they act quote manly. So how much influence do

(30:11):
political leaders have in shaping a male understanding of what
it means to be a man?

Speaker 21 (30:19):
I would argue that MAGA is a men's movement, and
that right wing populism, both in the United States and
in Europe and other parts of the world, is one
of the central constituent parts of that movement.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
It's no doubt.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Go look, young men broke in a major way for
Donald Trump. Married men broke in a major way for
Donald Trump. Young women broke hardcore to the left, uber progressive.
And we have an issue we've talked about over and
over again. You know, we sit here and we talk

(30:52):
a lot about how boys are lost, how boys are
being left behind, how boys are struggling. You know what
I don't't to hear a lot of talk about is women,
young women how they're lost because you can't say that, No,
you can't. The viata of the world that we live
in is we can criticize everywhere, and they are lost.

(31:17):
I think both sides are lost in a lot of ways.
And I think they've both been sold a bill of
goods by advocates and entertainers and influencers and people pushing
ideology that's insane for their own gain at the detriment

Show, serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 6 (33:17):
They are true fans bordering on fanatic.

Speaker 22 (33:20):
Hundreds of LA fans lined up outside Dodger Stadium for
twelve hours or more Wednesday just to make sure they
get a show. Heo Tani, Bobblehead, Bablo Rays waited outside
the stadium all day and waited for so long since.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Ten in the morning. Dude, it was worth it. Though,
it was worth it.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
This fan, we'll call him Julian Skipping school. Yeah, good
day to play hockey.

Speaker 22 (33:40):
Teachers think waiting that long for Otani bobblehead is nuts.
Marcial says, get over it.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
We win. That's right.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
They're not like good.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
I will say this. So people waited out in line.
They're already on sale on eBay. People waited to get
this because he is who he is. So it's show
heo Tani Bobblehead night at Doyer Stadium, games tied five
to five, bottom of the ninth inning.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Who's coming to the plates? A mirror.

Speaker 23 (34:23):
Fly?

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Do on a center field Harris's back?

Speaker 3 (34:27):
WoT time be af the ball? He is.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
So freaking clutch. He shows up at the biggest times
and it's Bobblehead night. It's his damn bobblehead. It is,
It's his night.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
And what's he do? Hey freaking homers. It's incredible. It
is absolutely everything that he's about.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
The guy is absolutely clutch, no doubt in my mind,
he's the greatest baseball player to ever live. Three two, three, five,
three eight twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Is your Twitter, your Instagram?

Speaker 4 (35:21):
Got a lot of your texts coming in about what
we were just talking about about toxic masculinity in the
show Adolescence.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
We're gonna get to some of those.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
A lot of stuff still to get to coming up
in our number two, so make sure you keep it
right here on the Chad Benson Show. Some of the
other stuff we're gonna be doing is talking again about
tariffs and nowur number two. There are tariffs out there
in them their world, and there's negatives, there's positives, and

(35:51):
it's one of those things where we've got to cut
through the bs and the blogning and the insanity to
try to get to what it is that we think
this is going to be long term. Is this something
that we're changing our habits as a country and how
hard is that going to be? Or is this truly
just negotiation tools. We'll talk about that bunch of other

(36:15):
stuff to get to. If you're missing the show, shame
on you.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Grab the podcast. This here be the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Do you.

Speaker 24 (36:53):
Still feel.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Elimorating?

Speaker 4 (36:59):
I don't know so many things are happening here, and
I think the hardest thing of all is convincing the
American people. You don't need cheap goods, you need American
maid and you need to have patience in a society
built on TikTok, Now that includes adults.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
In a society.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Where on Tuesday I ordered a pair of shoes and
they were delivered to me later in the afternoon, in
a society where instantaneous gratification and price matter. You must
now convince America that while these tariffs are high and

(37:48):
there is a chance for a bumbay road, on the
other side of this, we're going to be in a
better position than we have been in a long.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
Time, my fellow Americans, Liberation Day.

Speaker 25 (38:02):
This morning, President from dramatically escalating his global trade war,
announcing his most sweeping set of tariffs yet on goods
from every country that trades with the United States.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
This will be indeed the golden age of America.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
It's coming back.

Speaker 25 (38:18):
The President's declaring a national emergency and putting into place
what economists are calling the highest tariffs since the early
nineteen hundreds.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
The highest tariffs. Now there's risk with this, and the
risk is I don't know is one of the risks,
And you're like, well, nobody knows, no, But I don't know.
If the tariffs are gonna last longer than a week,
longer than two weeks, longer than a month. I have

(38:50):
no idea, because if they're strictly a negotiating tool in
some ways, then they could be here momentarily for some
kind cories. By the way, every country got a ten
percent hit.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
He'll be imposing universal tariffs, a baseline tariff of ten
percent on all imports from all countries. So this is
certain to upend the global trading system and could have
a serious impact on the global economy.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
And this is radical because it's not just about again
bringing back jobs or manufacturing, which is something I don't
think is going to happen the way that some people
would like to think it's going to, especially an older generation.
This is also about changing radically who we are, and

(39:42):
who we are is.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Consumption, consumption, consumption, consumption, consumption. Come up with great ideas,
export them, import cheap goods. And by the way we
say cheap goods, I want to say this, you do
realize that.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
Fifteen year years ago, cheap goods were cheap. In today's world,
a lot of the stuff that you get that's cheap.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Isn't crap. Oh, there's plenty of crap out there, But
a lot of stuff that you get today that comes
from China or India or certain places that used to
be just absolute junk isn't It isn't junk.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
And I'm talking about the Chinese goods themselves, but a
vast majority of our stuff may say Hanes or Dickey's or.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Whatever, but it's all made in China.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
And in that same factory they're making something called Docos
and Hansi's.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
For half the price, and we're like, ooh, we'll have
a bit of that.

Speaker 26 (41:05):
To be very clear, we have not seen anything like
this in six or seven decades, perhaps longer. This is
a moment where the restructuring of the global trade order
is underway.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
We'll see what happens, and we'll see what happens.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
I would love I would absolutely love it if this
thing worked out the way that he wants it to.
But I also realize there's politics involved in this. Well,
of course serious jaid no politics in the sense that
if things go wrong or start to really really go wrong,

(41:44):
Trump could pivot. So, as I joked about yesterday, imagine
this if you will.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Imagine this, if you will.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
We're getting, you know, in theory and intervention on cheap goods,
because we're trying to change not just how we trade
elsewhere and making it competitively fairer, but also how we
consume our goods, and we're going to need a little
bit of you know, detox, right an intervention. Well, in

(42:18):
an intervention, if things aren't going the way that you
would like them to go, you don't pull the person
out of rehab because politically it's you know, it's untenuous,
and that is also a fear here. And of course
the recession side of things for the individuals.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Could we be headed there?

Speaker 27 (42:41):
Pre Senator Ran Paul said that the tariffs could cause
a recession and have a major political impact.

Speaker 28 (42:48):
Watch tariffs have also led to political decimation. When mckindley
most famously put tariffs on an eighteen ninety, they lost fifty.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
Percent of their seats in the national election.

Speaker 28 (43:00):
I smoothly put on their terror in the early nineteen
thirties and lost the House in the Senate for sixty years.
So they're not only bad economically, they're bad politically.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
And that's coming from somebody who is a free trade
kind of guy, libertarian esque and not always the biggest
Trump fan, and several other Republicans have some in support
of Trump, but also outwardly worry about it because if
you're up for reelection, and this is the politics side

(43:33):
of it, sons Trump, Trump's not up for election, despite
his ori could be a third term. That isn't gonna happen,
especially if things go to hell in a hand basket.
Even if you had a chance, if you're up for
reelection and he talked about them losing House, you do
realize up until you know, I mean, for like sixty years,
the Republicans had nothing in the House of the Senate.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
They were crushed. They were absolutely throttled.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
And the worry is, if you're up for reelection in
the Senate, but obviously the House, this is going to
come back on you. This is going to be an
indictment on you. Now the effects will be felt potentially
by you losing your gig, but for Trump, the effects
may be oh my god. Now the Democrats are winning seats,

(44:23):
and by winning these seats they now control things, and
by controlling things, they can make my last two years.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
A living night.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Mayre, There's no doubt we have gotten the short end
of the stick in tariffs.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
We've allowed it to go on, and partially because our.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Economy rocks and rolls, and because of the rocking and
the rolling of the economy and the way that we
handle things and the way that we consume, and the
fact that we like our cheap goods and our money
stronger and more stable, we.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Go on and on.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Because of that, we didn't really push at other times
to try to take this on. And now we are,
and we're taking on any broad sense, not just from
a singular Okay, we're going to go after China first
and then you know, but we're going after Japan, Korea really, okay,

(45:16):
ten percent for everybody.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
We're going after.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
This is a gamble, there's no doubt, not just to
gamble politically, but a gamble for us.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
That's it.

Speaker 29 (45:28):
Treasury Secretary Countries retaliate, which some have said that they
would some have said they wanted to wait and see
what is the White House's response going to be to
those countries.

Speaker 30 (45:37):
Well, Kate, one of the messages that I'd like to
get out tonight is everybody sit back, take a deep breath.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Don't immediately retaliate.

Speaker 30 (45:45):
Let's see where this goes, because if you retaliate, that's
how we get.

Speaker 29 (45:49):
Escalation, and then it becomes a full fledged trade war.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
In your view, not a trade war depends on the country.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
It depends on the country.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
We need to bring some stuff back here, There's no
doubt we need to bring things back to this country.
We saw that with COVID how we were lacking in
certain things, especially pharmaceuticals and a lot of the PPEs,
and we need to bring some stuff here. We need
to manufacture some stuff here. But just saying you're good
at manufacturing, it's all coming back. It's going to be
the age of something amazing. That takes time. And while

(46:27):
that may happen over two, three, four, six years a decade.
If stuff gets more expensive but your pay doesn't rise
with it, all that does is cause attax on you
and me and everybody else, which causes the economy to
slow down and potentially go into recession.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
We have been taken advantage of another thing.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
We get too many people that would argue with that,
but some of that's on us because we've enjoyed the
consumption and some of it's on our politicians because they've
not really paid that much attention to it, didn't seem
to care. This is some Trump's been passionate about. But
now he's got Navario Navarro and several others who are

(47:19):
lutnik who are really about this. I even said the
other day, I think his goal, maybe in the back
of his mind, is we could charge enough tariffs to
maybe look at what we do with getting rid of
the income tax, because we had no income tax and
tariff's covered all the things we need. And if we

(47:40):
can get enough money from others, oh, it'd be great.
Good luck. But I'm with Bessett. Let's wait and see,
because all of this within the next forty eight hours,
half of it could be gone with him saying, nope,
pause tariffs here. We're not putting tariffs there. They've decided

(48:03):
not to retaliate. They're dropping certain tariffs here. We're negotiating
over here, so we're gonna hit pause on that. Or
they could be here for the long run, and that's
definitely a longer wait and see three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is

Speaker 31 (49:49):
The Alaska Airlines Boeing seven thirty seven eight hundred was
climbing out of Portland heading to Las Vegas when, minutes
after takeoff, the pilots of the fourteen year old plane
reported a smell of fumes in the cockpit and cabin.
Radioing in is heard on liveatc dot net.

Speaker 29 (50:04):
Pretty strong odor of the back, a little nauseous and
on the verge of vomiting.

Speaker 31 (50:09):
When they landed and taxied to a gate, nine people
were checked out by medics. No sign of fire was found.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
What the hell's going on? And the skies? More and
more stuff going on the skies.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
It seems to be more and more stuff going on
the skies from one to another, and it's the smells.

Speaker 18 (50:24):
Evacuation on the tarmac. Passenger is seen standing on the
wing of an American Airlines flight in Augusta, Georgia, after
the cabin filled with light smoke.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
We've evacuated and climbed out on the wing.

Speaker 18 (50:36):
Shot O'Connor filming soon after he exited.

Speaker 10 (50:38):
There was a haze, not a heavy dark smoke, but
you could see it, you could smell it, and immediately
I knew there was a problem.

Speaker 18 (50:48):
The regional jet landing for Charlotte, North Carolina Tuesday morning,
but after landing, American Airlines says there was a maintenance issue.
The flight crew then reporting that haze and stopping the plane.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Was it purple haze? Because if it was purple haze,
that's a different thing. If it's not purple haze, could
it be a different kind of haze? If you know
what I mean. Oh, you guys want to get hat
from there? Back to DC as we talk about all
things airplanes and what the hell is going on with
airplanes in the sky.

Speaker 32 (51:18):
It's been just over two months since an army helicopter
and passenger plane collided over the Potomac River, killing sixty
seven people. Now the FAA is taking steps to improve
air traffic control at Reagan Airport's official saying that they
are increasing staff and sending a specialized team to meet
with controllers. They'll also be evaluating the number of planes

(51:39):
the airport handles each hour.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
One of the things that's interesting about DC is you
forget that they do certain maneuvers, helicopters, certain things because
of how busy DC is itself and the area and
layout around Reagan. So you've had, like the helicopter certain
things where they're flying through that you're not going to
get maybe at normal even busy airports because of training

(52:06):
and whatnot through the military.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
And the other day almost another incident. So they're trying
to figure this thing out. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show X and
your Instagram as well. If you miss any show, make
sure you're the podcast. We like it when you do
that right here on The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 32 (52:29):
Critics say the airport is overburdened, its main runway is
already the busiest in the country. The Army is also
facing scrutiny in connection with January's crash for not yet
providing Congress with information about why a collision avoidance system
in the helicopter was turned off.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
Questions there, for sure, from one issue to many today
whether everywhere throughout the Southeast is absolutely just ferocious.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
And I've been up since.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
As the alarm started going off and the sirens started
going off for tornado warnings everywhere. You've got massive amounts
of damage done in a couple small areas in Arkansas particular,
it is you know, we always talk about nature messing
you up, joking aside, because a lot of times we
talk that it's usually people doing something completely stupid where

(53:22):
they're going out and they're trying to pat you know,
I don't know a shark or a bear, but when
nature does what it does, we saw that last week
with me and Maar and the earthquake. That depth hole
is well over three thousand and now in climbing and
overnight it was. You know, my kid Jack is here
from San Diego. Earthquakes are one thing he's not used to.
The tornado sirens.

Speaker 33 (53:43):
One of the hardest hit areas is Lake City, Arkansas.
Tornado there is being called catastrophic, destroying homes, flipping cars,
and taking down power lines and causing a handful of injuries. Elsewhere,
a twister striking Missouri causing a seventeen mile trail of destruction.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
And we had so many tornado warnings today in Nashville.
It's been crazy, so lots of flooding expected throughout the
day and another storm.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Headed this way. I've been up working this thing since
one My God, Nature, what are you doing? Give me awake?

Speaker 13 (54:15):
Chad Benson, Joe, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 34 (54:41):
It's Donald Trump bands TikTok on April fifth, five days
before I'm supposed to launch my jewelry brand in New
York City, Luigi MANCHIONI will.

Speaker 19 (54:52):
Look like a fucking cake walk next to me. You're
telling me I invested six five figures of my own
fucking coin money I've pay tax is on to not
be able to market it on this ass app I'm
gonna click my body heels together three times. And if
Kamala Harris doesn't appear in the White House.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Oh I hope she's okay. Wow, some people are angry
about the TikTok. That's right.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
We're back to TikTok being gone and will somebody?

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Will someone buy the talk of.

Speaker 35 (55:27):
The tick, sources telling ABC News, Amazon, the biggest e
commerce platform in the world created by billionaire Jeff Bezos,
is joining the bidding war, reportedly sending a letter to
the Trump administration also making a bid. Mobile tech company
app love It, and a group including tech giant Oracle
Even if President Trump approves the deal, China still has

(55:48):
to sign off China.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
I don't think China's gonna sign off word. What do
you mean? Chard? So TikTok could be bouncing by this.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
We can and remember, let's go back to how we
got here. And here's a perfect example of politics and
the unforeseen consequences that took place. You had a bunch
of people who were concerned, rightly so, about China getting

(56:20):
access to information, and so politicians were like, we can't
have that.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
We gotta get rid of it. And it was bipartisan,
We all come together, Kumbai Yah, get rid of this.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
Then a gazillion phone calls, people going ow, people saying.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
No, we can't have this.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
A young, voisterous group saying no, this can't happen, built
up momentum in steam and during the election cycle, Trump
turned to TikTok, used it, talked about saving it, and
all of a sudden it was here. Then it was

(57:05):
gone for a day and people panicked. And the question
now is will it happen again?

Speaker 2 (57:10):
And where will people go?

Speaker 36 (57:12):
President Trump will consider a final proposal today for US
investors to take over the app. The deadline for TikTok
to make a deal is set for Saturday. And if
you're getting a little bit of deja vu you've heard
this before, it's because yes, we did cover it back
in January, at the time, some users migrated from TikTok
to another Chinese app, red Note. They call themselves TikTok refugees.

Speaker 37 (57:34):
Well.

Speaker 36 (57:34):
A recent report by the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research
Lab tracked the hashtag TikTok refugee and saw a massive
surge in January. That migration to Red Note raised concerns
about data privacy and propaganda on that app.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
I was always worried about not them getting information. There's
trying to get information from us all the time. Everything
they can possibly get, they can try to get. They're
going to try to get back that you neighbor, They're
gonna try to do it. So the propaganda side of
it to me was a bigger issue for sure. And
then people padic like, we need to go somewhere else,

(58:10):
and then what do they do. They run over to
Red Note, which doesn't even pretend to be a different
company like TikTok pretends to be, so to say that
they can't get your information'll be live. But you know,
TikTok's whole thing is, yeah, you know what, we're part
of my dance, but we're our own jam, and you know,

(58:32):
we don't have anything to do with China itself and
the Communist Party.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Well, red notes like now we're called red.

Speaker 36 (58:39):
Note red note refugees from TikToker going.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
By the way.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
I just love the guy doing the story because he's
laughing because he realizes how stupid it is.

Speaker 36 (58:47):
Red note refugees from TikToker going there. How should we
feel about that?

Speaker 12 (58:52):
Well, it was really interesting. So on you know, at
the first influx of users, we saw you know, an
exchange of kind of benign cultural exchanges, you know, cat memes,
which is the universal language. But then very quickly the
CCP kind of picked up on this as a propaganda opportunity,
especially as American user started to kind of share tales

(59:13):
of economic hardship, you know, needing to work two or
three jobs to afford healthcare and housing. So the party
really saw that as kind of both a global propaganda
opportunity and also messaged that back into their own population
because they're going through their own economic squeeze right now.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Yes, they are.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
If you go and look at the Chinese and how
they're living, you would go.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Wow, well they're doing a little bit better than us here,
aren't they. Man? Look at this, Look at the things
they've got. You know.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
I was watching a Breaking Points yesterday with Sager and Crystal,
the conservative, Crystal is the liberal. But they were talking
about the flying taxis they have. She goes it's jets
and Pepe. That's what I mean the advancement Again, they
don't have to follow any rules. And that's the beauty

(01:00:13):
of the program of not following any of the rules,
where you don't have to worry about OSHA coming in
four hundred thousand regulations.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
So you're able to do some things.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
But the thing about red note and I saw this
with people who would share stuff and it would go
to their Instagram and stuff like this is how amazing
it is and how they've got all this stuff and
they because young people in particular, have no idea how
amazing we have it, even though it sucks at time
with the cost of life potentially getting more expensive. Having

(01:00:45):
the freedoms, we have the freedom of thought, the freedom
of ideas, the freedom of life without having to worry
about being crushed.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
By big government.

Speaker 12 (01:00:58):
Two things to kind of keep in mind. One is
a censorship issue. So Chinese users on the platform are
subject to very strict censorship requirements. So the very things
that Americans are posting on the app are getting taken
down by you know, Chinese sensors when they come from
Chinese users. Also, you know, violations of these sort of

(01:01:18):
censorship directives. For a Chinese user, the penalties can range
from anything from getting your account band all the way
if it's sensitive enough, to getting your to getting detained,
getting your family threatened, or even being disappeared. So that's
one thing to kind of consider. When you're using the app,
you're not really getting a clear full picture of what
life is actually like. A second thing is sort of
the data and security issue. You know, the big debate

(01:01:40):
with TikTok was the possibility of the party's access to
American user data, even if data was stored on servers
in the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
No way they would steal our data. That's a shock.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
They say they're not shead, and I believe them. One
of the other things, though, she talked about, is you're
getting the rows look of propaganda without the fact that
you could post a meme that the dear leader doesn't
like and next thing you know, you're disappeared.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
No questions, ask, no redo, No, I was just kidding
my bay.

Speaker 12 (01:02:16):
With red Note that's not even a question. The data
is definitely stored in China subject to Chinese law. The
CCP can get that data anytime that they wish. Another
kind of consideration is if you have the app in
Soul in your phone, like other social media apps, you know,
they can track your location. They can even log your
keystrokes and know what you're searching even if you're not

(01:02:36):
using the app. So those are some kind of considerations.
Everyone has their own kind of threshold for this, but
these are just things that definitely keep in mind when
using the app.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
And young people and a lot of people won't. They'll say,
and I don't care if they're looking at my keystrokes.
I got nothing to hide. Okay, we'll see if the
tick and the talk is gone, I bet you they
find a way to extend it. And even if they
come up the right amount of money, I still don't
believe China is willing to give it up. And now
with the trade war potentially going on, Yeah, we'll see

(01:03:09):
how this plays itself out three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
If you like cruising, I will tell you there's some
cruises that are smooth, right, it's the ocean man.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Nature can do what nature does.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
There's also some places you may go when you're on
a cruise ship that may get a little bumpier, and
unlike turbulence, they may last a little longer.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
They call it the Drake Shake.

Speaker 27 (01:05:15):
It's named after what happens when the seas are rough
in the Drake passage between Antarctica and South America. Honestly,
Shank is under selling it. This video is remarkable. This morning,
we hear from passengers in the middle of that harrowing moment.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Holy that.

Speaker 27 (01:05:34):
Watch as waves up to forty feet rock. This cruise
ship on its way back from Antarctica. Leslie Murphy was
on board.

Speaker 38 (01:05:41):
The best I can describe it is being on a
roller coaster for forty eight hour streets. And to some
people that's exhilarating and for others, I think it could
be just kind of hell on Earth.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
It's like a massive one.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
It was, well, it shows you again nature, but the
way that it throws these people around and just toys
with the ship. You know where you're going though, right,
And I'm you know what I'm addicted to when it
comes like tik tok and stuff like this is and
I say it's an addiction, but I always go at

(01:06:16):
least once a day when I have a chance, at
a quiet moment to see what the seas are doing.
And they have, you know, scary moments in the sea,
and there're these giant cargo ships and you see these
things go up and then they go crest over a
wave and come down and then all you see is
a wall of water and you think, oh my god, yeah,

(01:06:36):
you can do what it wants to do.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
Passengers seem tossed around.

Speaker 38 (01:06:40):
The hallways, plates were smashing everywhere, and that's when you
see people kind of looking at each other and be like,
is this normal? Should this be happening?

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
These keeping them all the ship at all times.

Speaker 27 (01:06:51):
Eventually those on board locked down in their cabins. The
ship was traveling through the infamous Drake Passage between Antarctica
and South America. For it's occasional rough conditions.

Speaker 38 (01:07:02):
You're standing there thinking if this class goes, But I
had full faith in that ship. Kudos to the captain.
It was a ride in a roller coaster of a lifetime.

Speaker 6 (01:07:13):
Yeah, how about it.

Speaker 27 (01:07:13):
The ship did make it to its destination, But what
a ride?

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
What a ride?

Speaker 4 (01:07:17):
Indeed, I've been on a few cruise ships, and I
will tell you when it gets going, when the moves
start moving, even when it's not like crazy insane, it
it's uh.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
It's interesting. I think it's a good way to describe it. Interesting.
Very interesting. Meanwhile, is that a tiger sir.

Speaker 39 (01:07:40):
In a remote desert house about an hour outside of
Las Vegas. Authorities have found not one, not two, but
seven tigers. The sheriff says the tigers belong to Carl Mitchell,
who lacks a permit for the exotic cats and was
arrested for resisting officers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
I have PTSD.

Speaker 6 (01:07:58):
Back in twenty.

Speaker 39 (01:07:59):
Eighteen, our affiliate KTNV spoke to Mitchell, who claimed he
doesn't need permits because he said the tigers are his
emotional support animals.

Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
Oh that's off list, so you don't need permits, right,
no permits needed. They're my emotional support animals. As a
person who's collected many exotics throughout the years, and who,
as you guys know, love my animals, I will tell
you this. Tigers aren't expensive to buy, they're expensive to maintain.
So dude must be doing something. But sir, they're your

(01:08:32):
emotional support. You don't need anything. Did you get him
a vest? Did you buy it online?

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Who'd you get it from? By the way, these tigers.

Speaker 39 (01:08:39):
At the time, the county claimed he was illegally exhibiting
the animals, citing photos of celebrities with the cats, including
Michelle Rodriguez and Carra de Leavine. Mitchell says those were
simply photos with friends. Federal document show Mitchell has purchased
the cats from none other than the Tiger King himself.
Joe Exotic Exotic is serving a prison sentence for, among

(01:09:01):
more serious charges, selling tigers across state lines.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
What are you doing man. And by the way that
it worked. Now you lost your tigers, but your emotional
support tigers. God, some people.

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
From there we moved to the ocean, to the sea.
I say, we touched on it last week briefly. They're
demonic sea lions.

Speaker 37 (01:09:26):
Southern California teenager is recovering after she was attacked and
bitten by a sea lion in Long Beach this weekend.
The victim was in the middle of a junior lifeguard
tryout when that sea lion attacked, sending her to the hospital.

Speaker 24 (01:09:39):
It really was a vicious attack. At first, fifteen year
old Phoebe thought it was a shark. Well tonight she
showed us her injuries and said this should be a
warning to others.

Speaker 6 (01:09:50):
And all I'm.

Speaker 40 (01:09:50):
Thinking is, please don't be a shark. Please don't take
off my arm, and please don't kill me.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):
The junior lifeguard spot that she was at, because I
too was a junior lifeguard and also tried out there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
And these demonic sea lions has gotten into you. Guys
used to be so cute.

Speaker 40 (01:10:12):
Out of nowhere, I feel something biting and grabbing my
arm over and over again.

Speaker 11 (01:10:15):
I see, just like the shadow of.

Speaker 40 (01:10:17):
It I'm like, I have no idea what it is,
and all I'm thinking is, please don't be a shark.
Please don't take off my arm, and please don't kill me.

Speaker 24 (01:10:23):
It was not a shark. It was an aggressive sea lion,
but her mom waiting on the sand didn't know that yet.

Speaker 41 (01:10:29):
I saw something come up like a fin and somebody
else shark, and we all like rushed to the shore.
And when I realized it was my daughter, that's one
I broke down.

Speaker 24 (01:10:39):
Phoebe has numerous bites and scratches on her arm at
our hands. She's swollen and bruised, but she's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
And you got a great story.

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
But these aggressive sea lions great name for band uh.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
It's because they're own drugs kind of sort of. It's
because of the algae. Something happens with this algae that
makes them. It's like bas salts is a good way
to describe it.

Speaker 41 (01:11:02):
It's just a scary thought that she could have gone
pulled under. So when I saw her coming on, her
arm was all bloody.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
I thought.

Speaker 24 (01:11:09):
The worst adult sea lions can be up to seven
hundred pounds and six feet long. Sea line attacks on people, though,
are unusual, just over A week ago, a surfer reported
he was attacked by a sea lion in Oxnard and
on Sunday, lifeguards rush to help Phoebe and she was
taken to the er. For now, she's out of the

(01:11:29):
water and she is healing, but she hopes to try
out for the lifeguard cadets when she's recovered.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
I love the beach, I love the ocean.

Speaker 40 (01:11:37):
I love swimming, So when I went in, I was
just like, okay, easy swim out, easy swim back. It
wasn't that easy, but I didn't think something like this
could ever happen.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
She'll make a good lifeguard. She's got a great story too.
Junior lifeguards. That was fun. That's when you could go.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
All day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Fit as a fiddle.

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
Now, ugh, I don't know if the sea lion might
look at me and go, yeah, that might be bigger
one to try to pull down. Oh I thought you
were one of us Chad three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three as your text line. You get
to xit us, slash tweet at us at Chad Benson
Show and check out our Instagram as well. Right here
on The Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our number three

(01:12:20):
of the program talk about tariffs. Is this going to hurt?
Is this going to help? What is the long term
goal of this? And is there a long term goal?
Is this a starting point a negotiation or unless you
get to zero or these going to be on? And
what kind of gamble is Trump taking not only with

(01:12:41):
what's going on with this presidency but also with the
economy talk about that bunch of other things.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
To get to us. Well, if you're listening to the show,
shame on you grab the podcast. We appreciate it when
you do that.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
Plus tonight, make sure you join us right around seven
o'clock Eastern. Check out our YouTube, Twitter, slash x, and Instagram.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
As we go live. It is the Chat show.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
On your Mark, Get set? Panic? What why?

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
Well, it's liberation Day and with all the liberation, there's
panic because nobody knows what the hell's going on. And
over here it's tariffs could cause a massive recession. Over here,
it's gonna be the greatest thing that's ever happened. Quite frankly,
I'm with mister Richard Quest here. I don't think anybody
knows they're not.

Speaker 9 (01:13:51):
Some bolts are really clear. A new minimum tariff of
ten reciprocal tariff on the Chinese of thirty four percent,
twenty percent, the Japanese twenty four percent. These are very
large numbers in trade terms, horrific numbers.

Speaker 15 (01:14:07):
But what this is.

Speaker 9 (01:14:08):
Really going to is the US changing the terms of trade,
saying to the rest of the world, we're no longer
doing business like we used to, and the rest of
the world has now got a really big decision. Do
we say we're going to fight back or do they say,
let's start negotiating and finding a common ground. Consumers are

(01:14:30):
going to pay more, importers won't know what to charge,
factories will somehow not know what to do. This is
one extraordinary mess that's going to take many weeks, months,
if not years, to sort out, and by and large,
there's no guarantee this is going to be successful because

(01:14:51):
everybody I've spoken to and the trade business says this
is a vast experiment of unknown proportions while the consequences
are simply unknown.

Speaker 4 (01:15:05):
Unknown that's the best way to describe this unknown.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
Because you.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Think if all of these things go the way we
want them to go, this will work out in the
way that we want them to work out. On the
other side of it, the other people are saying, well,
you know what you're going to do that to us,
We're going to do that to you, And what you
thought we would do, we're not going to do, and

(01:15:35):
all of a sudden there could be a potential trade war.
Treasury Secretary mess in saying a must hold our orses.

Speaker 29 (01:15:44):
Here countries retaliate, which some have said that they would,
some have said they wanted to wait and see. What
is the White House's response going to be to those countries.

Speaker 30 (01:15:52):
Well, Kate, one of the messages that I'd like to
get out tonight is everybody sit back, take a deep breath,
don't immediately retaliate.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
Let's see where this goes.

Speaker 30 (01:16:01):
Because if you retaliate, that's how we get escalation.

Speaker 29 (01:16:05):
And then it becomes a full flinch trade war.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
In your view, not a trade war depends on the country.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
Depends on the country, because not everybody got the same,
but everybody got the same when it came to ten percent,
So everybody we trade with you all got the same. Now.

Speaker 4 (01:16:24):
Interestingly enough, the car market perfect example to start with,
because Ford just announced, Hey, everybody gets employee pricing, right, now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
Now that can't last forever, not.

Speaker 4 (01:16:35):
All makes and models with Ford and Lincoln, but for
a lot of them, you're gonna get what everybody else
who works for the company gets.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
You're gonna get employee pricing.

Speaker 42 (01:16:46):
Where we've already seen some impact is with cars. US
cars manufactured here oftentimes use imports in their parts from Mexico,
from Canada, as well as all the imported cars that
we buy here in the United States, and that has
sent the cost of cars, according to many estimates higher

(01:17:08):
in light of these tariffs. So that's an area, in
a concrete way, where people are already starting to see
those price increases.

Speaker 4 (01:17:16):
So it's gonna be all over the place because we
don't know. Not only is the battle of the tariffs.
Let's talk some real stuff here, right, Not for the
mumbo jumbo, not for that bill owya okay, but talks
some real stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
We're addicted too cheap good.

Speaker 43 (01:17:38):
Yeah, oh yeah, we are, baby, We're addicted.

Speaker 12 (01:17:44):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
We love cheap crap. We love paying nothing and getting something.
It's not as good as other stuff, of course, not,
of course not, but it'll do the job. And for

(01:18:06):
a lot of household goods, that's disposable. It'll do the job.
For a lot of stuff that you use every single.

Speaker 4 (01:18:13):
Day, it'll do the job. You're not only trying to
bring in revenue, You're trying to reimagine our world. Is
manufacturing base in a hub for bringing back manufacturing to

(01:18:33):
the United States. Doesn't mean it's gonna happen. Won't happen overnight?
Is there potential prices go up? Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
There is not saying they will, not saying they won't.
I don't know, because I also don't know how long
these things are gonna last. What if somebody takes us
down to zero with.

Speaker 4 (01:18:51):
The things like because we got that ten percent across
the board everywhere, so if you drop it all the
way down to zero in your tariff world, are we
dropping everything down a zero? We're gonna leave that ten
percent on? I mean, I don't know how this works.
Isn't a negotiation tool to get something else? Is this

(01:19:13):
a great experiment? Do you think you're gonna bring in
enough revenue that's gonna cover the cost of certain things?
The tax cuts are gonna be the big battle that's
coming next, and that is going to be a battle.
Jd Vance was actually talking about that and I want
us to succeed.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
I think a lot of people know, oh you do
you do?

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
I do it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
I love it, I love America. But I also recognize
what we're all about. I like cheap goods. If you
don't like cheap goods, then why the hell do you
walk into a store, look at some and then pull
out your phone and go, oh yeah, and get on
Amazon for thirty bucks less, even if it's the same
damn thing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Because that's who we are.

Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
We became a consumption, instant gratification nation, and because of that,
we're going to come at things in a different way.
You've got to figure out how are you going to
balance everything. You think you're going to balance this, get
your tax cuts to all these kind of things that
may be great. When's the politics come in. When do
things potentially get too damn hot that you think, oh,
we can't do this any longer. I have no idea,

(01:20:18):
because it's not just about going and saying all right,
you guys have taken advantage of us, which they have.
You guys have come at us in a way, and
we've allowed it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
We've also benefited from it.

Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
So while that's all going on, you're not only trying
to even the score right, level the playing field when
it comes to goods and whatnot, you're also trying to
rewire us as a nation of consumers. We need ozempic
for our consumption and the way that we'd like to

(01:20:59):
con so jdbants.

Speaker 6 (01:21:03):
Well, if you go back.

Speaker 44 (01:21:04):
A little bit, Lawrence, remember the during the first Trump administration,
everybody said that Trump's tariffs were going to be inflationary.
Back then, what actually happened. We had one point five
percent inflation, We had the fastest.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
Growing economy in a generation, and.

Speaker 44 (01:21:16):
We had the beginning of a manufacturing renaissance in the
United States of America. Then, of course we had four
terrible years of the Biden administration. But I think it's
useful for all of us to step back and ask us,
ask ourselves what has the globalist economy gotten the United
States of America? And the answer is, fundamentally, it's based
on two principles. Incurring a huge amount of debt to

(01:21:38):
buy things that other countries make for us, and to
make it a little bit more crystal clear, we borrow
money from Chinese peasants to buy the things. This Chinese
peasants manufacturer that is not a recipe for economic prosperity.
It's not a recipe for low prices, and it's not
a recipe for good jobs. In the United States of America.
For forty years, we have gone down that pathway. We've

(01:21:58):
seen closing factors. We've seen rising inflation, We've seen the
cost of housing so high that most Americans can't afford
to buy a home. Right now, President Trump is taking
this economy in a different direction. He ran on that,
he promised it, and now he's delivering. And yes, this
is a big change. I'm not going to shy away
from it. But we needed a big change, Lawrence. We
cannot keep going down the Joe Biden globalist pathway, where

(01:22:22):
we have two trillion dollars of peacetime debt and deficits,
we have manufacturing disappearing. That is not working for Americans.
We've got to take this country in a different direction.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
And I am let's do it. Let's absolutely do it.
Let's go for it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:39):
But as I've told people this and I continue to
tell people this, don't expect an overnight fix. Don't expect
this in the manufacturing to come back the way it
used to be. For several reasons. One, there is no
guarantee that humans will get a lot of these jobs

(01:23:00):
with automation the way it is, and there is no
guarantee whatsoever that we as humans, Americans in particular, who
are used to consumption, are going to change.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
Our appetite for cheap goods.

Speaker 4 (01:23:21):
So it's as much a human experiment as it is
a economic and financial experiment. And you know they talk
about investments, We invest in big things when we need to.
Ai absolutely the chips, yes, and that's not just for us,
by the way, the rest of the globe, recognized as

(01:23:43):
China can't be that close to Taiwan and potentially blow
up that insanity there. Just in case they decided to
do something squarely, we needed to have presents other places.
Taiwan did as well to make sure that these things
could still be produced.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
And that's great.

Speaker 4 (01:24:00):
By the way, that those those jobs, those manufacturing jobs
for for the Chai Taiwan, these chips, they're they're not
ready for them yet, they're not they're not up and
running the way that people think it's.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
It's these things take time.

Speaker 4 (01:24:14):
There's a lot of things going on here, and then
you throw in the politics, and what does the politics
look like. What's the appetite for the president and for
the Republican Party itself should things go south? How long
are they going to hold on even it's for the
betterment of us? Are they willing potentially to risk losing

(01:24:35):

Adolescence what's it about and why is there so much
controversy around? It straight, Ahead Chad Benson.

Speaker 13 (01:30:54):
Show, Fun Chad Benson, Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
The Chad Benson.

Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
Show it is the show that is.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
Kind of dominating the. Glow it's Called, adolescents AND i
think it's. Timely, yeah we talk about this toxic.

Speaker 4 (01:31:35):
Femininity wait WHAT i thought the show is about toxic. Masculinity,
oh it, is BUT i want to talk about it.
All we talk a lot about how boys are.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Lost let's talk about how girls are.

Speaker 4 (01:31:50):
Lost how young women have gone so far uber progressive
that they've become, toxic they become extremely. Toxic, well we
can't talk about that and make it feel. Bad, why
there's no doubt there are toxic people out, there people
both sides of the, aisle both sides of the gender.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Spectrum oh and it's a, spectrum, Right, yeah of course it.
Is let's talk about.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
That this movie or excuse, me television show is, gripping, fascinating.
Unsettling i'm gonna play you a bit from one of
the scenes of a thirteen year old boy in this.
MOVIE i think he's, thirteen Sins, jamie who is accused

(01:32:36):
of murdering a. Classmate the way that this is shot
also makes it very gripping and. Unsettling and it's called
a one. Shot so if you don't know what at
one shot, is think of each situation like a. Play
so they shoot it where they're filming it like a

(01:32:59):
play where there's no, breaks there's no, stops you're just,
go go. Go that includes them doing everything from following
the police up into you, know with two or three cameras,
handheld taking the kid into, custody then taking them into the,
car getting into the, car it's all of it. Going
it is, fascinating, gripping which makes it real and. Unsettling
so much so that even The Prime Minister Kiera starmer

(01:33:22):
a little low t if you.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Will it's talking about this and.

Speaker 14 (01:33:26):
What can we do as a society to stop and
prevent young boys being dragged into this world book of
hatred and, misogyny and it is young boys predominantly in
this particular. Instance, also how can we protect young girls
that are at, risk because obviously that's a very strong
feature of the you, know the documentary, drama.

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
And it is. Drama it's not a. DOCUMENTARY i said
it was a. Movie it's not that.

Speaker 4 (01:33:52):
Either but it is gripping and this kid is amazing in,
it and it delves into the manisphere and all of
this kind of stuff that they talk.

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
About it's all in. This they don't talk a lot
about the toxic.

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
Femininity how there are young women out there who feel, that,
hey you know, what everything in the world's your. Fault
you've had a society for the last few decades that
have said men are, bad men are, evil it's all
of your. Faults this is an. Issue so this is
one of the scenes from the. Show and in the,

(01:34:30):
Show jamie has to meet with a woman, who's, LIKE
i want to, say like a psychologist and during this,
meeting you, know her thing is are you competent enough
to stand trial.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
For what is going? On and this is their last.
Meeting and remember this is all one.

Speaker 4 (01:34:51):
Shot so you got a couple of camera men in
there with handheld cameras and they're filming it and it's
like a play.

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
And it's it's.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
Gripping you've been coming you, Honest you're you gonna tell
the drudge a.

Speaker 17 (01:35:03):
LOT i think you've spoken to me with. Honesty, yes
but All i'm advising the judge on is your.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
Yes it doesn't seem like a proper goodbye it, Is
it doesn't seem like.

Speaker 9 (01:35:13):
One we haven't finished you.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
CAN i ask you?

Speaker 17 (01:35:19):
Something do you like?

Speaker 29 (01:35:21):
ME i was here as a.

Speaker 14 (01:35:23):
Professional don't you think like?

Speaker 9 (01:35:25):
That then my job was to assess.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
IT i like you as a, professional.

Speaker 9 (01:35:29):
Not like, that not, fantin just as a.

Speaker 14 (01:35:31):
Person don't you even like me a?

Speaker 9 (01:35:34):
Bit what did you think about?

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Me?

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
Then desired was really?

Speaker 4 (01:35:39):
Useful come, on, Gripping absolutely. Gripping we have too many
young men who are, lost and in this show a
lot of times when you think about lost young, men
you think about men who especially young men who don't
have anything as far as they don't have a lot

(01:36:00):
of close.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Friends what they do have is.

Speaker 4 (01:36:03):
Online they get lost in the quote unquote the Manisphere
Andrew Tait world brought. Up they're told that they should shut,
up let the women, talk don't, manspread don't. Microaggress everything
is your, fault everything is, toxic et, cetera et. Cetera
and a lot of times they don't have a great
role model by all accounts in, This he's got a

(01:36:24):
father seems to be a good dad because the. Parents
this is also about the, sister the, school the police,
officers the families dealing with what's going on and the
crises that surrounds. This and it, is LIKE i, say,
Gripping but there's a lot of conversations to be had

(01:36:47):
in today's world about a lot of, things including a
lot of young women out there that are, toxic that
are extremely extremely to the left and progressive and blame
everything on the men in society and. Everything and we're always.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
Afraid we can't say That i'll make them feel.

Speaker 4 (01:37:08):
Bad here's some teens In britain after seeing this because
Ker starberd like.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
This it's actually been.

Speaker 4 (01:37:13):
Offered netflix has offered all of the kids In britain
to get this in what would be middle school, essentially
to have a chance to view, this and they push
a lot of the usual. Tropes, it's you, know young
boys are troubled and, lost all of, them which is,
ridiculous but also that you've got you, know racism and

(01:37:39):
sexism and. Misogyny it makes it seem like every young
boys that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
Way it's not.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
True we know that statistics bear out though, guys we
we're the ones who, yes when violence, happens it. Happens it's,
guys not, always but a lot. Is but there's a
lot to it than, that a lot more to. It
but it makes it seem like that every, kid every young,

(01:38:04):
boy is looking at The Andrew tates of the world
and looking At, oh it's a mag it's a right wing,
movement it's only.

Speaker 2 (01:38:09):
Men it's a, brosphere It's Joe rogan's.

Speaker 4 (01:38:11):
Bad but there's when we have to take a deep
breath and come to reality that let's have a conversation
across the board about toxic human.

Speaker 23 (01:38:20):
Beings there's toxic masculinity and there's also toxic.

Speaker 9 (01:38:23):
Feminisms what would you say toxic feminism is. Toxic feminism
is probably a hate towards. Men believe in the all violent.
Creatures you take a man and then you see all
men are.

Speaker 29 (01:38:33):
This it's.

Speaker 23 (01:38:34):
RUBBISH i think it's quite unjust because they kind of
especially in media, now they're very much kind of like
classing all men as this terrible. Thing, yeah and that
people need to understand that that's a very small portion of.

Speaker 4 (01:38:46):
People and that is, true very much a small portion of.
People but we need to have this. Conversation why do
men feel like they need to shut, up can't say?
Anything why do young men feel? Lost why do young?
Men and one of the things they bring up in
the trailer is the fact that women essentially are competing

(01:39:16):
over one group of men and could care less about
the rest of, men and men are basically Sol and
it was interesting Because Scott galla was talking about. THIS
i want you to listen to the numbers. HERE i,
mean we have a problem in this and not just
and this is A british, show It's english, show but
this is A western issue that is going on right.

(01:39:39):
Now that is absolutely a serious issue with the opposite
sex not wanting to be around each. Other one frustrated
and angry because they're feeling like they're useless and they're
losers and they can't get a, break and everything is their.
Fault they're being blamed for. Everything and the world now
is set up for women and young girls go for.

(01:40:01):
School you walk it all the way, through and the
other side of it is they're, Losers they're. Useless it
is all their, fault and, NO i don't want to
go out with you because you don't meet my.

Speaker 46 (01:40:11):
Standards can't tell women to lower their. Expectations but this
is the. Reality when you ask a man if you
could have a woman who had eighty percent of everything you,
wanted seventy five, percent say, Yeah i'm on. Board when
you say to a, woman a man has eighty percent
of what you, want seventy five, percent say that that's not.
Enough but even look at the, media what is the
media tell a woman to. Do he's, out but he

(01:40:33):
didn't open your, door he's not nice to his. Parents
walk right out on that man like it's literally every
piece of media is you don't need. Him you're a,
strong independent. Woman pull the, ripcord you're. Out the basic
kind of communication around this is you are a, strong,
independent powerful, woman that is, wonderful and quite, frankly you
don't need the imperfect.

Speaker 4 (01:40:55):
Man they're just not. Connecting they're not. Connecting do you
hear how hard it is for young men to get dates?
Nowadays And i'm talking about the average, guy, right like
a good, dude an average. Guy when you hear, this
and you wonder why there's. FRUSTRATION i don't want a
woman to lower their. Standards that being, said the reality

(01:41:21):
of the world, is are you guys kidding me?

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
HERE i read that.

Speaker 46 (01:41:25):
On tender a man of average attractiveness has to swipe
wright two hundred times to get one, coffee and then
four of those five coffees will ghost, him they will
decide they don't want to meet, him or they won't show.
Up that means a guy of average attractiveness has to
swipe right a thousand times to get one. Coffee now

(01:41:47):
what does that tell that? Guy women don't value, Me
women make me feel. Rejected and then they go online
and they meet they see these misogynists telling them it's
not your. Fault and these men become much more prone
to misogynistic, content much more prone to nationalistic, content blaming
other people for the lack of economic, opportunity they start

(01:42:07):
sequestering from. SOCIETY i worry that we are literally evolving
a new species of asexual asocial. Mail and if a
man by the age of thirty hasn't either lived with
someone or married, someone there's a one in three chance
he's going to have a substance abuse.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
Problem that is.

Speaker 4 (01:42:25):
Frightening and they talk a bit about this in the
Show adolescence where one of the, KIDS i think it's
the kid of the lead detective, Says, dad you don't
know what's going on in the. Manisphere you don't know
the fact that you know you have to lie to
women just to get him go out with, them because
eighty percent of women are chasing twenty percent of the,

(01:42:47):
men and those people won't give you the time of.
Day we have an issue across the, board not just with,
masculinity with toxic, personalities and instead of trying to lift
each other, up we're competing with one another in a
narrative that we shouldn't be and it is frustrating as,
hell and it leads to a society that will not

(01:43:08):
be successful in thrive long. Term three, two, three, five, three,
