Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
If your pete heads and the rest of the folks
the Pentagon, you're having a sit down this morning saying,
all right, guys, we jacked the poocha on this in
a major way. Maybe next time we don't add the
guy from the Atlantic who can't stand us, Jeffrey Goldberg,
to any of our text messages on signal. Oh and

(00:38):
another thing, let's not do any more things on signal
when we're talking about war. You guys haven't heard.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
It is a shocking lapse in national security. Instead of
using highly classified secure channels, Vice President JD Vance and
members of President Trump's national security team sharing detailed active
war plans on a commercial messaging app, texts that inadvertently
included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, that wasn't a good look. Can we just all
agree that was a giant mess hegseeth is coming out
and hammering Goldberg. You know what a horrible person he is.
And he leads he's totally anti Mago and all this stuff,
which is all true as far as anti Mago and
all that kind of stuff, But this is a you thing.

(01:35):
You guys jacked this up all right, you can. I've
heard some people say this is all fake. Now it's not.
You screwed up. Take the l on this one, say
we screwed up. We're moving on.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Deceitful and highly discredited so called journalist who's made a
profession of pedaling hoaxes time and time again. Nobody was
texting war plans, and that's all I have to say
about that.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
You were texting stuff that you shouldn't have been texting,
especially on signal. Okay, if somebody hacks in to the
highly secretive text app that you guys have put together,
then that's one thing.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
You added him obviously on accident.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And there was definitely some stuff on there that the
average person, including the likes of Goldberg from The Atlantic
editor in chief, shouldn't have been seen.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Goldberg wrote he was skeptical the group was real at first,
but today the National Security Council saying, at this time,
the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic,
and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added
to the Chaine.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
My reaction was, I think I've discovered a massive security breach.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
President Trump hours after the texts were reported. I don't
know anything about it, saying he was unaware of the story.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I don't know anything about it.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I heard they're crappy, That's what he said.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
They're a crappy magazine.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's all I've heard. I'm like, okay, it.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
Was not a good.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
Look.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Let's just you own it. You come out right, and
you just own it. Say, man, that wasn't good, right,
we jacked the pooch on that one, and you move on,
you move on. Well, there wasn't this, you know what. No, no, no,
it's nothing to say. I'm gonna call you out on

(03:42):
this one. You screwed up, you jacked the pooch, you
swung and you miss, and saying he's an awful journalist,
and he's an awful dis and he hates MAGA. All
of those things may be true, but that being said,
he's got the receipts. As the kids would say.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
Look, I'm going to be responsible here and not disclose
the things that I read and saw. I will describe
them to you the specific time of a future attack,
specific targets.

Speaker 8 (04:22):
Including human targets.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
Meant to be killed in that attack, weapons systems, even
even weather reports or you know that the government is
is I don't know why Hexcept was sharing it with everybody,
I mean, the precise detail, and then and then a
long section on sequencing. This is going to happen, then
that is going to happen, After that happens, this happens,

(04:47):
then that happens, and then we go and find out
if it worked. I mean, you know, he can say
that it wasn't a war plan.

Speaker 9 (04:54):
But uh, it was a it was a.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Minute by minute accounting of what was about to happen.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
It was something that the average person should not have
gotten access to. There's no doubt about that. So all
of that aside, just go, damn, we screwed up. I

(05:28):
somebody added him. You know, they're saying Mike Walls, because
the whole thing is apparently Mike Walls, because you know,
Coldberg is like him, don't like him whatever.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
The Atlantic being an editor chief in a.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Major publication, if there's still any things like that around,
it's a big deal, especially in Washington. It's a much
bigger deal than the average, you know, situation outside of
the DC Beltway. He said he got a request from
Mike Walls, like the security advisor, and he accepted it,
and then somehow he got added onto this thing, and it.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Was you know, it was. It was ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
He immediately said, he's look, I got you know, I went,
I learned the White House, I learned you know, Tolsi's
people all you know, to say that I shouldn't have
been in this. And I don't know if it was
probably an air because a lot of people like, we
got to get rid of Mike Walls. No, you don't,
it was an air. You move on.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
And we go from there. It's it's that simple. It's
that simple.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Now, if it's real and you found out that he
did do it on purpose, well then that's one thing.
But I don't think he did it on purpose. I
think Goldberg thinks he did it on purpose.

Speaker 8 (06:45):
Either.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
It was just something that happened.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
And some people are saying, you know, another secretary or
advisor was supposed to be added, and they too have
a JG as their you know, first two letters in
their first and last names, so that could have been it.
Let's all admit you screwed up on two ways. First,
you added him, and secondly, and this is very important,
you're on signal. Use the crap that you guys create

(07:15):
as good as signal is if you're adding the wrong people,
that's not good three two, three, twenty four to twenty
three at Shed Benson Show, is your Twitter tweet at
as text the program. I love hearing from every single
one of you. Meanwhile, the battle of deportation continues, the.

Speaker 10 (07:32):
White House standing by its decision to send the Venezuelans
to that notorious prison in El Salvador, but the questions
about the men in that prison are only growing. The
administration acknowledges many of them have no criminal history in
the US, and lawyers for at least five of them
have filed declarations saying they have never been gang members
at all.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I am becoming more and more frustrated. Look at I'm
a due process guy, and some of the people are
obviously not gang members. The gay hairdresser, I'm thinking he's
probably not a gang member. The soccer player with the

(08:12):
real Madrid tattoo, and they're like, that's definitely gang. That's
that's not gang. That's not gang. I mean there's you're
if you're gonna do it, do it right. We all
agree with that. But you haven't been as transparent and

(08:33):
you are definitely having more and more people who are
like look, I understand, I want you to get as
many of the bad guys out of here as possible.
You can get them all out to be great, let's
let's do it. But the haphazard kind of just let's
just grab some folks and and you know, and I
know that there's a process that you're trying to do here.

(08:56):
This could have been done in a much better way.
And I say that because this is who we are
as a nation. We have the process that others don't,
We have due process, We do things that others don't,
which is what separates us from so many others. And
I want to keep it that way. And some are

(09:18):
already coming back.

Speaker 11 (09:19):
One of the things we heard from Patricia Mellett, who
is a judge there, she was comparing it, obviously saying
that in World War Two Nazis had better treatment. One
of the things that the Trump appointee on the panel,
justin Walker. He was more focused on the challenges that
these migrants could make should be brought perhaps in Texas,

(09:39):
not here in Washington.

Speaker 12 (09:41):
Now.

Speaker 11 (09:41):
One of the interesting things we learned, at least from
some of the declarations from the ACLU, the lawyers who
are actually suing the government. We learned that multiple of
these migrants have actually been returned to the United States
because they were wrongly sent there.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's not a good look. That is not a good look.
And you know, there was some you know, some issues
where people are asking serious questions, like all right, who
are these people? Because they just showed up.

Speaker 13 (10:10):
I kept waiting for files to come off the plane,
you know, assuming that the US had you know, Dotier's
on all of these guys, and each plane presented a
middle of a folder of sort of personal belongings, driver's
license or personal ideas, and that was it.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
You got to do better, period case close, end of story.
It's not hard. Measure twice, cut once. Don't be ass hats. Yes,
we want the worst first and gone. We want to
crack down on the people that are here illegally, who've
not even tried to go through the asylum process. We
want to do this and we want to do it right,

(10:51):
and we separate ourselves from the rest of the world
because of our due process, because of what we do.
Haphazard isn't going to get it done.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
It isn't.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
And it is frustrating, you know, because you can't have
a conversation with a lot of people. Well, he's got
every right to throw anybody out of here if he
wants to.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Check him all out. I don't care.

Speaker 14 (11:14):
No.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Due process is what separates us, and we do care
because we do want to do it right, because we
have separated ourselves from the rest of the world because
of how we do things.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
So let's do it right.

Speaker 2 (11:27):

three at Chad Benson shows your Twitter tweet at us

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Jad Benson.

Speaker 15 (13:11):
I don't know about you guys, but I don't recognize
this country anymore. I'm forty four years old and we're
living in a country today where human beings aren't getting
due process anymore. Judges are being attacked left and right
from the President of the United States. People are getting
laid off for no reason. Veterans are getting laid off,
and we have tech billionaires and you know, look at

(13:32):
Trump's administration, sixty billion dollars his administration is worth And
by the way, that doesn't even include Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, that's because he's technically not part of the administration.
And you're right, it doesn't include him. We're looking harder
and harder to find more idiots who are broke who
could work for the administration. That helps, right, Like you
find more idiots that are broke, it'll be great. Uh

(14:01):
this guy. It goes back to you know, somebody talked
about yesterday with the whole you know, me out there
talking to all the people who were protesting TESLA over
the weekend. Where are you getting your news where you
hear that all of these things are going away?

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I've got some serious issues still with the due process,
and I've said from the beginning I have it. It
is a very uneasy feeling I have with the way
that they handled stuff. I don't think they're doing it
every day. I don't think they're going to do it
every day. I think this was a move to facilitate
a fast trip through the courts to get to the

(14:39):
Supreme Court so Trump could say, look, I've got the
right to do this, but the due process, yeah, I
have some issues with that. Being said, some of the
other stuff this guy's talking about. I'm like, where are
you getting this?

Speaker 15 (14:50):
The biggest tax breaks for the top one percent. They're
threatening to get rid of our medicare get rid of
Social Security. What type of country are we living in
where undocumented immigrants, some who have lived here for decades
and pay taxes, are getting deported from religious sanctuaries and schools.
The Bibles are going to be in every classroom, the
Ten Commandments? What is going on in this country? This

(15:13):
country was founded on immigrants. Have we lost our compassion
for human beings? What the heck is going on here?

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Now?

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I have no idea where you're getting like a lot
of that information. That's that's This is what happens when
you live in an echo chamber, and you go and
you find the things that you think you want to hear,
and you get affirmed in that, and then people play
off your fears. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty

(15:41):
four to twenty three at Chad Benson's shows, your Twitter,
tweet at us, text the program right here in the
Chad Benson Show. Solid security is not going away, neither
is Medica. But if we don't fix it, it's not
going to be worth a damn because it's going to
go and solve it. So we have to actually act

(16:04):
upon that or else. Scary though, people live in this
world of they don't get out of their bubble, and
you need to start doing that. You do need to
get out of the bubble some people. First of all,
it's gonna be good for you to hear the other side,
but also to maybe here, hey, wait a minute, here,
I'm hearing that all these bad things are gonna happen.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
Show, Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Here's a perfect example of California craziness that would love
to spread its wings across the country. And I bring
this up because of Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein's new
book called Abundance, and Ezra was on We played a
bit of it yesterday with Bill Maher. But he and
Dereck Thompson in this book. Essentially, they're talking about this

(18:25):
is the new path forward for the Democrats. This is
the way the Democrats need to go. It's about common
sense legislation. It's about, you know, actually doing something for
the people for what you charge them. Because let's be real,
in places at California, New York, Illinois, you're charging the

(18:45):
hell out of them and are the people getting anything
for it. Well, California's pushes let's do electric cars. Let's
do electric cars.

Speaker 16 (18:55):
Oh, by the way, we make a lot of money
off taxes on gas. So I'm going to figure something
out when it comes to the cars, because if they're
not getting gassed and we're not getting revenue, and most
of that revenue doesn't go to anything that has to
do with fixing the roads, as promise, it helps pay

(19:18):
a lot of other things.

Speaker 17 (19:19):
The gas tax could soon be a thing of the past.
In its place, drivers would instead pay a monthly fee
based on how much they drive. Right now, the gas
tax is about fifty nine cents a gallon. It's the
country's highest rate. It generates millions of dollars to fund
road repairs across the state. But with the rise of
electric vehicles, lawmakers are now worried it won't generate enough money,

(19:41):
so they're looking at a way to have drivers pay
a road charge. Cal Trans officials ran a pilot program
to test this. The results of that program will be
released later this year.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, let's let's do that. Let's figure this out. Oh,
that's not going to give people any more access to
your vehicle and to who you are and what you're doing.

Speaker 18 (20:00):
Greedy California politicians are once again pushing an odious new
tax onto citizens, but this time it comes with a
side of violating our privacy.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
The new California mileage.

Speaker 18 (20:10):
Tax would track every driver's mileage and tax them per
mile driven. Not only does this penalized commuters and hardworking citizens,
tracking cars via automatic transponders is one step closer to
the full surveillance state that Democrats seem to want. Fight
the war on cars and stop the mileage tax.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Like I said, I bring this up because Democrats need
to figure something out.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
And when you read the book.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Abundance, if you go and get it more working to
get Derek or Ez we're both on to talk about
this book, the reality of how bad the blue states
and blue cities have failed their people. While charging them
more and more money on a daily basis and delivering
less and less and then seeing everybody run for the
exits shouldn't surprise people. People finally had enough.

Speaker 19 (20:59):
I do think the one thing that we're saying over
and over again in this book is that in places
where liberals have an enormous amount of power, where their
power is unmolested by Republican influence, they cannot blame Elon,
They cannot blame Trump, they cannot blame that the Republicans
in the Senate. They have the power, they're not delivering.
They're spending more per capita than any other place, but

(21:21):
they can't actually deliver results. And I think one thing
that we're seeing to go back to a question you
asked earlier where you said, are these people delusional? Are
you trying to change their minds when they leave Los
Angeles and they leave San Francisco, or are you trying to
grab them and shake them and say no, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Values are right. It is the state that has failed.

Speaker 19 (21:40):
And we're trying to find a way to align the
quality of governance with the expectations that those residents have.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Translation you spend a lot of money, and for that money,
you spend, you should get the service that comes with
that kind of bill. If I go to Taco Bell
while I love it, I'm gonna go to the little
kios I'm gonna fill out my stuff. I'm going to
pay a few bucks. I'm gonna get my food which

(22:08):
I love, sit down, eat it, throw away my stuff,
walk out, go I go to Morton's. Ruth Chris wherever somewhere,
she she no boo wherever. I'm going to spend three, four,
five hundred bucks for one or two people, depending on

(22:31):
I mean, it's easy, it's easy to do. I expect
the service to match the price tag, and it hasn't.
Ezra Klein said something the other day, and this is
the perfect example of the failure of you know. He says, look,
Republicans are leaning more towards a bit of an authoritarianism
kind of governance, and the Democrats are living in a

(22:55):
world of bureaucratic bureaucracy of governance. And that right there
is and he said, I think the best might be
someone emerging of the two, not so much an authoritarianism
when it comes to speech and certain things, but maybe
in getting certain things done, and not that you get

(23:17):
rid of all of and again not the authoritarianism that
you know, like a lot of people out there patrol.
You mean, like he's gonna crack down our free speech. No,
but he looks at stuff where he goes, hey, we
got fourteen gazillion EPA rules, we don't need that many.
Let's get rid of a vast majority of them. That's authoritarian. No,
that's just reality. And you know what, you get stuff done.

(23:39):
I don't need to jump through fourteen thousand hoops. And
he said, on the other side of it, we need
some regulations, but we don't need all of the regulations.
California has four hundred thousand regulations. My god, no wonder
you can't get anything done. It's not because there's not land.
It's because government, no doubt about it. Just insane. Speaking

(24:04):
of insane, ladies, you're not dating, and apparently you're enjoying that.
You're not going to date down We've always talked about that.
But even if a guy makes a really good living,
but he does it with his hands, chances are you've
gone to college, you are educated, probably over educated, you
have a cat or five, and you feel like you're better.

(24:27):
Even if they make a better wage. But they work
with their hands, so they're not very bright. You're also
extremely liberal, and chances are the guy not so much.
You're choosing your life, which is fantastic, that's great. But
when we talk about the lack of reproduction in this country,
understand that without people, our country doesn't go forward the

(24:52):
way that people want. You think cutting stuff now is
going to be hell. Imagine in fifteen years and we
haven't produced children, and the shrinkage of the working class
and the working people has gotten to the point now
where it's unsustainable for retirement, medicare, and anything else.

Speaker 20 (25:15):
A growing number of American women are choosing to remain
single rather than settling for unsatisfying relationships now. That's according
to a new essay by The Wall Street Journal, which
highlights the newer different priorities among men and women. What
is behind this trend.

Speaker 21 (25:29):
Well, the group chat we talk about this a lot.
The number show it's a major shift in perspective. Women
today are more financially independent. They're prior to oritizing their
careers and education and friendships above traditional relationships than in
the past. Twenty twenty two data from the Few Institute
highlights this change only thirty four percent of single women
today actively seek romance, compared to fifty four percent of

(25:54):
single men.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
So why do men seem.

Speaker 21 (25:56):
To desire romantic companionship more than women? Dating coach waited
in all right.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Dating Coach, what do you have to say for yourself?

Speaker 22 (26:04):
Men don't necessarily have the social circle that women do.

Speaker 17 (26:07):
You know, men generally don't have as many friends as
women do, which is sad but true.

Speaker 21 (26:12):
But just a decade ago, significantly more women saw marriage
as essential to fulfilling.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
To a fulfilling.

Speaker 23 (26:19):
Life, we have to think about fulfillment. How do I
feel most fulfilled in my work? Do I want to
be married? Do I want a relationship? Or do I not?
These are the kind of questions we need to start
asking because we've been so obsessively asking the other questions
for so long, and it's leading to problems in our culture.

Speaker 21 (26:38):
Historically, marriage was viewed as a milestone for adult life,
but today many women say that they're unwilling to compromise
their ambition or settle for less than the ideal partnerships.
In this contrast sharply with past generations who fell societal
pressure to marry younger and prioritize family.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Not a good place to be. And again the left,
young women uber progressive by far, young men more libertarian lean,
a little bit more conservative. They're not dating, and by
deciding not to date and by deciding not to have
a family, that pressure is going to grow more and

(27:17):
more on a daily basis when it comes to our
population and the pressure that it's going to be there
for the working class and the working folks as the
Gray tsunami really starts to hit in the next few
years and the pressure on social Security and medicare grow
tremendously three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty

Speaker 24 (28:40):
Show, irreverence. Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
Elon, he has his problems.

Speaker 25 (28:58):
Liberals are furious, so they are burning Tesla's.

Speaker 8 (29:01):
Have you seen this?

Speaker 25 (29:02):
All sorts of demonstrations burning Teslas. I tell you those
two astronauts were up in space for nine months and
just got back. They must be like, wait, the liberals
hate Tesla. Now it's like drag Queen's attacking wigs.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
That's true, since saying FBI is warning this is crazy. Hey,
if you got a Tesla, be careful.

Speaker 26 (29:24):
The FBI now urging Americans to be vigilant around Tesla locations.
The President who's called the vandal's garbage, saying those caught
are terrorists who should cut it out. The FBI saying
there's been at least forty eight instances in more than
nine states since January, including arson, gunfire, and graffiti.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
The fact that we have to say, hey, if you
drive a Tesla, be careful because you may be attacked
by a vegan who's angry at you and or wipes
its his butt on your car or spits on it.
The hell is wrong with people. Lots, I'll tell you
that right now. Unhinged. I saw a video today of

(30:08):
a guy with a pickaxe trying to bust a cyber
truck and the cyber truck bent the picks ax. All
the hell was hilarious. But the insanity of what is
going on and how people are approaching this, it's unhinged.
Like I said, I was out this weekend at a

(30:29):
Tesla protest For the most part, everybody was really nice.
There were some people that were obviously upset and angry,
and we've touched on that, but nobody wanted any harm
to come to anybody. But there are the loons out there,
and the fact is that you're angry at a car

(30:50):
company because the guy who believes in climate change, which
most liberals believe in, wants to fix the planet, and
you're pissed off at him because you don't like what
he's doing with dog. Okay, that's fine to a certain extent,
but trying to destroy the car company is bizarre. Now,

(31:12):
I will say most people I talk to this weekend like,
we're not mad at Tesla, we're mad at Elon. That's fair.
There are other people out there. They're just mad across
the board and they're pissed at anything. And these these
poor guys and gals at that.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
Oh, it'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I'll go to work with Elon. I'm going to join
doge eh.

Speaker 26 (31:27):
Musk says several of his Doze employees have actually received
death threats. With a global Day of Action set from
March twenty ninth, organizers calling for peaceful protests at Tesla
locations this Wednesday across the globe, including this.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
One right here in Austin.

Speaker 26 (31:44):
The FBI will surely be on high alert, high alert.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Are you driving at Tesla? Although when I talk to people,
it's still the same thing that my little brother said.
It's mostly cyber trucks. People are pissed within think if
you drive just a regular Tesla for the most part,
you're probably one of the good ones. But if you're
driving a cyber truck, it's because you've got testosterone, and

(32:10):
you're a man, and you're about American, and you bought
it because of Elon mah and so they're the ones
who are paying the brunt. So if you're driving a
cyber truck that you read to be really really careful. Meanwhile,
Tim Wallis is still on the attack. He's very mad,
very mad, very mad at Tesla.

Speaker 15 (32:28):
What can we possibly do about Elon Musk Because it's not.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Right, It is not right.

Speaker 27 (32:34):
This guy bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy.
And I have to be careful about being a smart ass.
I was making a joke. These people have no sense
of humor. They are the most literal people. They're all
butt hurt about the Tesla thing. But They don't care
the disrespect they have shown to employees at the Minneapolis
VA who care for our veterans when they fire them.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
They don't care. What joke did he make about the
that you want Tesla to crash again? Maybe it's the
way that you deliver your joke that is so poor.
And I get the frustration about people being laid off,

(33:16):
but the the clutching the pearls knee jerk reaction to
trying to fix a problem that is long overdue, and
the messenger and the messengers who are trying to fix this,
we're always going to pay the brunt of the the
you know, for the brunt of their message that we're

(33:36):
gonna pay the cost for it, And that's what they're
paying for. They're gonna make mistakes, and yeah, they probably
will let more people go and have to hire some
people back. But we have a serious issue about spending
in this country. We're two trillion dollars every year. We

(33:58):
spend more than we take in two trillion. And where
people would have a problem is in three, four, five years.
Based on where we're going, it's probably sooner than that.
But let's say say five years from now, if all
of a sudden, your social security or medicare all these
things start getting cut big time. You'd ask the question, well,

(34:20):
why didn't you fix it before, because we tried to,
and every time we brought it up, you guys freaked out.
And then it became a giant war. And anything we
could try to do to streamline, make government more efficient,
cut costs where we need to, everybody threw a fit
about and then they threaten people's lives and they decided
to destroy cars.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
So guess what, this is what you get.

Speaker 27 (34:40):
So we will have the conversation about efficiency and government
and about doing that, but none of us believe for
a second.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
They're thinking about this.

Speaker 27 (34:48):
Oh we fired everybody that's dealing with ebola, and then
he went into the Oval office wearing a hat. I
don't ever want to hear anybody talk about decorum and
respect or that wearing a hat coming in their richest
man in the world world.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Again, this baby's just me.

Speaker 27 (35:02):
If I'm the richest man in the world, I'm like
out on the streets handing out to money.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
It'd be fun as hell just to help people out.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
Go help people out.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Not this guy, not this guy.

Speaker 28 (35:14):
Okay, Tim Walls dodged the bullet with that one when
it comes to literally dodge a bullet, Trump with that one,
because otherwise that could be your vice president right there.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
Hand it out money, Sure you would.

Speaker 2 (35:29):

Speaker 2 (35:43):
If I had all that bundy, I'd just be handed
out to everybody. I'd be giving it all away. Be
the greatest thing in the world. Okay, if you're in
government like you are, you'd love to hand out money,
and you keep doing it because he keeps you employed.

Speaker 5 (35:56):
So ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
The whole thing is okay, you can't have a commonversation,
can't have a real conversation about anything in this country
anymore because people lose their blanking minds. Three two three

Speaker 5 (36:20):
We appreciate that this is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
What do you guys have to say for yourself? Salry Oops,
what are you talking about? Jed talking about the giant
Jack the pooch moment where the United States decided, Hey,
let's talk a bit about some war plans against the hooties.
Let's do it on signal, will gather a whole bunch

(37:16):
of folks. We'll also send some emojis. No way, way,
way way, No, that didn't happen. Oh it happened.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
It is a shocking lapse in national security. Instead of
using highly classified secure channels, Vice President JD. Vance and
members of President Trump's national security team sharing detailed active
war plans on a commercial messaging app, texts that inadvertently
included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic What.

Speaker 8 (37:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:50):
And then right, So, with all of that happening, and
it's embarrassing, Pete Hegseth comes out and he's like, this
guy's the worst.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
I don't even know if it's true.

Speaker 29 (38:00):
It's a live, blurdly freaking blair, deceitful and highly discredited
so called journalist who's made a profession of peddling hoax
his time and time again.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
Nobody was texting war plans.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
And that's all I have to say about that. Okay, now,
while that's all going on the White House, Yeah it
was happening. Get your crap together. You look a fool.
You hear me, You look a fool.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Goldberg wrote he was skeptical the group was real at first,
but today the National Security Council saying, at this time,
the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic,
and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added
to the chain.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
My reaction was, I think I've discovered a massive security breach.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
President Trump hours after the texts were reported, I don't
know anything about it, saying he was unaware of the story.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well you need to get aware, all right. This is
absolutely asinine and embarrassing. Get aware of what's going on.
There's up to what eighteen people on a text change
through signal. Well, that's because these two over here didn't
have one app. Bob doesn't have an iPhone. Oh geez,

(39:19):
how could this happen?

Speaker 6 (39:21):
I get a message request to connect with Mike Waltz
as a national security advisor or someone who's purporting to
be Mike Waltz not an unusuable thing in Washington.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
I'm a journalist. I've met him in the past, so
I accept it.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
As Jeffrey Goldberg right there, editor in chief of the
Failing Atlantic. Isn't every newspaper slash everything that's not the
Internet failing in some way, shape or form, including the Internet?
Because I'm sure there's going to be some new AI
thing that's going to overlap the Internet and take it over.

(39:55):
So he gets a thing, he gets a thing. It's like, ah,
you know what, I'm used to this, you know, the
belt Way.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
We get these kind of things. Then lo and behold,
stuff starts happening.

Speaker 6 (40:05):
I had actually mistakenly been included in a conversation of
the Principal's Committee, essentially the leaders of the national security community,
including the head of the CIA.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
How did that happen? Was it a mistake? More than
likely it was a mistake. I don't think somebody did
it on purpose. You know a lot of people say
it's Mike Walls's Fault's Mike Wallas's fault. You just you
own it. You say, look, guys, we jacked the pooch, right,
we did. We jacked the pooch. We need to do
a better job. This was a text thread that really

(40:38):
wasn't supposed to go this deep on a lot of
different things. And for that, you know what, we need
to hold ourselves accountable. We need to stand up and
say this is us, this is us holding ourselves accountable,
and you move on. That's it. But you don't do
it again. Make sure of that, and don't come out
and say it's not true when the White House is

(40:59):
going that's true.

Speaker 6 (41:00):
It's a robust conversation. It's actually pretty impressive in some ways.
They're going back and forth a lot of resentment directed
at European allies in the United States, which obviously enhanced the
credibility of this chain because everybody in the chain sounded
like the people I know who are in this administration.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
And when you look at some of this stuff, JD.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Vance is on there.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
If you think we should do it, let's go. I
just hate bailing Europe out again. Let's just make sure
a messaging is tight here. And if there are things
we can do upfront to minimize risk to Saudi oil facilities,
we should do it. Some of the other stuff in there.
Pete hegsett VP, I fully share your loathing of European
free loading. It's all capitalized pathetic. But Mike is correct.

(41:46):
We're the only ones on the planet on our side
of the ledger who can do this. Nobody else even close.
Questioning question is timing. I feel like now is a
good time as any given POTUS directive to reopen shipping lanes.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
Think we should go.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
But poet has still retains twenty four hours of decision space,
and it goes on and on.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
So he's got receipts.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
It happened, Get over it, come out own it, move
on with yourself. It's that simple, and don't let it
happen again. Somebody get what app. I don't think that's true.
I don't think you can heal what app. You guys
get what I'm saying here. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is
still trying to figure out what the hell to do
with deportations, the flights, the court battle that is going on.

Speaker 10 (42:33):
The White House standing by its decision to send the
Venezuelans to that notorious prison in El Salvador, but the
questions about the men in that prison are only growing.
The administration acknowledges many of them have no criminal history
in the US, and lawyers for at least five of
them have filed declarations saying they have never been gang
members at all.

Speaker 5 (42:52):
It's not a good look. Let's figure this out.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
As I said last Dar and I'll say it again,
we do things differently for a reason, because we are
better than the alternative, and there needs to be due process,
and we need to do it correctly because people are
already looking for you to fail and to give people

(43:18):
a reason to say, look at you, stop all over
the constitution, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (43:23):
Do it right, Do it right.

Speaker 10 (43:27):
A ruling from the appeals court is expected within days. Meanwhile,
the judge who first halted the administration's efforts to deport
more of Venezuelan's, Judge Bosburg, He, reaffirmed his ruling, saying
each and every plaintiff deserves a hearing, is entitled to
one to determine whether the law applies to them at all.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Some of the people that have been deported have already
been reimported, so there was that. And again, when you
jack the pooch and you're rush to get stuff done
is haphazard. You're going to make the misas takes. And
we do not want mistakes. We want it done correctly.

(44:09):
It shouldn't be this hard, but there is a rush, right,
there's a sense of pressure. I promised everybody, we're gonna
get everybody out of here. I promised everybody, we're going
to do all these things. I promised everybody. Do it right,
do it right. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your
Twitter tweet at us text the program, and then the

(44:30):
other side of it. The economy feeling a little bit better.

Speaker 17 (44:34):
Right.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
We've got some more companies that are starting to repatriate
some of those jobs, spending some of that money here,
bringing an investment. I still don't think the manufacturing world
is going to be anything like I'll think a lot
of people out there are hoping it's going to be
a return back to the to the fifties and sixties
and seventies when the whistle blew and everybody came home
from their manufacturer job. I don't think that's going to

(44:55):
be true. Doesn't mean some of that stuff can't come back,
because it will, just not in the way I think
a lot of people would like to think it's going
to come back.

Speaker 30 (45:04):
We are under your direction, we're reprivatizing the economy. We're
bringing down government spending, We're bringing down excess employment in
the government sector. On the other side, we're going to
re leverage the banking system. We're going to have all
the new manufacturing jobs, so everyone who's laid off from
the government we'll have an opportunity to go into the
private sector. And that is going to lead to disinflation.

(45:28):
We're going to inflation is under control. We're going to
get the affordability crisis fixed.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
That is Scott Besant, And every time I see him,
I just think he looks a lot like Will Ferrell.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
When he's playing Harry Kerry. Hey, everybody's to be Harry.

Speaker 30 (45:46):
Continue Scott, lower energy, deregulation, more private sector jobs. That
will naturally get interest rates down. Interest rates down. Mortgage
rates are down almost every week since January twentieth. The
energy costs are down about fifteen percent, crude oils down
about fifteen percent. And as we keep that going, interest

(46:09):
rates are going to keep declining.

Speaker 8 (46:11):
It'll be good for mortgages, it'll.

Speaker 30 (46:13):
Be good for credit card debt, it'll be great for
auto loans.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Yeah, because autoloads are so damn expensive. I mean those
the loans are insane. They're like twelve years at fifteen
hundred dollars a month. Here is your pinto. I think
that's a ridiculous chat. I'm kidding, of course, but I
have been saying for quite a while. The next debt bomb,

(46:39):
the next giant huge is if rates don't come down,
it's going to be the credit card. The amount of
money we have sitting on credit cards is insane. And
we're going to get into a little bit more about
what you can do now with door Dash for God's sakes,
which is just again, what are we doing?

Speaker 5 (46:59):
Speaking of what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Jasmine Crockett?

Speaker 1 (47:01):
But like it's Sam Cruz.

Speaker 31 (47:03):
I mean, like this dude has to be knocked over
the head, like hard, right, Like there is no niceties
with him, like at all, Like you you go clean off.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
On him, right, you go clean off on him? What
does that mean? You go clean off on him? You know,
just clean off? No, No, I'd like to know what
it means, means take him out? Well, no, I'm not gonna.
Well that's ridiculous. Pam Bondi's like, yeah, you're you're threatening
certain things you're saying certain things that are alluding towards
if I know I met politically, you talk about hitting

(47:35):
him over the head. Well, I met politically, Okay, Okay,
So she is becoming for you know many people. Is
she the new head of the Democratic Party Republicans like?
I hope so, because no matter how bad we screwed up,
come on now. Although she talked about we need a

(47:55):
sister in the cabinet, I'm like, you know, that wouldn't
be a bad deal. Get assistant the cabinet cider over there,
do some negotiation. She'd be like, no, you didn't. I'm like, ooh,
this is about to get good. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
There was a cabinet meeting yesterday and the Secretary Agriculture,
I think her name is Rollins she wanted to let
everybody know we spend a lot of money on stupid things.

Speaker 32 (50:06):
But even in the US Department of Agriculture, we've canceled
three hundred thousand dollars contract educating on food justice for
queer and transgender farmers.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
In San Francisco.

Speaker 32 (50:17):
A similar contract we canceled in New York again educating
transgender and queer farmers on food justice and food equality.
I'm not even sure what that means, but apparently the
last administration wanted to put our taxpayer dollars towards that.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
It's incredible how stupid we are with the amount of
money that we waste. Isn't a farmer just a farmer.
That's different. Chat, What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (50:47):
Three hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
For a queer trans food justice warrior farmer?

Speaker 5 (50:54):
What the hell? Oh, it's not over.

Speaker 33 (50:56):
We canceled a.

Speaker 32 (50:57):
Six hundred thousand dollars contract in out of Louisiana that
was studying the menstrual cycles of transgender men, a six
hundred thousand dollars contract. We canceled another contract out of
a university in the middle of the country that focused
on getting more diversity, equity and inclusion into our pest
management industry. Again, these are nonsensical. It makes zero sense

(51:20):
to use taxpayer dollars to fund these. I know, these
are just a few examples of the hundreds in the
hundreds that we have found.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
And can I just say they are not money wise
a lot of money. What they are though, is ridiculous,
Like we just all agree.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
We need to spend a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
We need to get more women in management position in
pest control companies. Excuse me, it's vitally important. Who got
that contract? Who even thought of that? Who was sitting
around going you know what. I'm going to start an
NGO and my goal is to get as many women
in positions of power in local pest control companies, therefore

(52:06):
dominating the market. And six hundred thousand dollars for menstrual
cycle studies of women LARPing as men.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
That's the reality of what that is.

Speaker 2 (52:18):

I could barely say that with a straight face, that
twelve dollars burger really too much for you?

Speaker 5 (54:59):
How about the eight payments at three percent interest.

Speaker 31 (55:03):
Klarna just this week announced that partnership with door Dash,
And basically what's happening here is listen. If you want
to buy lunch today and if your bank account's running
a little bit low, you can buy that lunch today
on door dash, and then you'll split the payments for
that maybe over the next couple of weeks or months.
They haven't really outlined exactly, you know, the payment arrangement
because it hasn't launched yet. But I look at another
company that's doing this called ZIP. That company you could

(55:24):
actually buy, you know, a big batch of groceries. We
call it confraan Spanish at costcos or shopwrite and then
make eight payments over eight months for that batch of groceries. Now,
I said, this is interesting because typically would buy not
pay later. It's usually for a one time major purchase
like a furniture set or a computer, and that's a
one time debt accumulation. Food and groceries that's a daily,

(55:47):
sometimes weekly potential accumulation.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
I'm sorry I was laughing there. I want to get
this right so I can put my groceries on light
a way. Is it that bad out there?

Speaker 8 (56:06):
Right?

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Like you? You're buying like.

Speaker 5 (56:13):
This said, the one time purchase.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
It's something big, okay, I could see you know, hey,
I can get it in four payments.

Speaker 5 (56:19):
Great, something big. It's one off thing.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
But if you're having to put your your your hydrox
cookies because you can't do.

Speaker 5 (56:26):
The oreos.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
If you're having to put those on layaway. People like,
what are hydrogs? Some of you remember hydros. They're like oreos,
but worse, my god, it is. It is just like
of all the bad ideas, this one's up there. Hey,
I'm buying lunch in six months with eighty easy payments.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
Who wants something one hand?

Speaker 31 (56:54):
This is better than putting, you know, your groceries on
your credit card.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
I don't encourage you.

Speaker 31 (57:00):
Because credit cards charge anywhere from like seventeen percent to
upwards of thirty percent interest on these payment services. The
consumer doesn't get hit with any interest, right. The merchant
actually pays a fee for that. There's a saying in
business that I love. It's, you know, there's no such
thing as a free lunch. Someone's paying for that lunch,
and because they're getting a benefit, the merchant is willing
to pay that. Because on average, people who use buy now,

(57:20):
Pay later spend thirty to fifty percent more than they
would have if they had that money on hand that
much thirty to thirty to fifty percent more, and those
who wouldn't have been able to make the purse at all,
they're able, you know, to make that purchase now. So
that is concerning when you think that if you don't
have that money on hand, you're spending even more than
you have. Some are calling this predatory lending. We've seen

(57:41):
the CFPV, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate these companies
in the past, they've warned for more oversight. But under
the current administration under Doge, and we've talked about that
a lot. Yeah, that organization has been gutted. So you're
staying this increase in buy now, pay later with less oversight.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
I'm sorry, you just it works if you don't have
any money now. Yeah, we're not talking about, you know,
buying a fifty thousand dollars car. We're talking about thirty
bucks for lunch for two. You're like, this is gonna
be tight, Chad. This is an indicator that there may

(58:21):
be some troubled waters.

Speaker 31 (58:23):
I think there certainly highlights that you're seeing an American
consumer that stress. We're to the point potentially where some
people are laying away groceries, right, And that's not just
you know, an anecdotal kind of indicator. There's actually data
supporting this. We looked at a report from the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, and you're seeing this graph
on your screen. It shows that Americans are accumulating more debt.

(58:43):
I mean, it's up about half a percent in Q
four of last year. That's the tune of now eighteen
trillion dollars, most of that around credit card debt, to
the tune of forty five billion dollars accumulated last year.
That could swell potentially if people start missing payments and
then get hit with that interest. And guess what that
also found delinquency rates, serious delinquency rates for things like

(59:04):
auto loans and credit cards. That's now at a fourteen
year high. So in terms of the economy, people don't
realize seventy percent of the US economy is based on
consumer health, consumer spending. We're going to see what this
service potentially an inflation of consumer spending and artificial inflation
of the the growth of the economy. But at some
point there's a bubble that pops. We saw that in

(59:24):
the eight recession, right when the housing market booms and
then it busted, and we could potentially see that here.
I'm not saying we're there, but I am saying that
there are economists pointing to this as a recession indicator.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
I again, I've been saying for a while, it's not
the housing market. It's not because of how low interest
rates are. People's payments for the most part, are pretty manageable.
It is the consumer credit card market that is the

(01:00:02):
one that is in perilous, perilous shape, and that's the
debt bomb I look at because people were living not
paycheck to paycheck. Right then we go back to Trump's
first term, things were pretty good, right. They were living paycheck,
they were able to save a little, spend a little

(01:00:24):
and they you.

Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
Know, went on.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Everything was fine, right, So they're saving a little bit,
spend a little bit, but they and their paycheck covered
their bills, and the same thing would happen in the
next check.

Speaker 5 (01:00:36):
Then boom, COVID. Things went walkie, didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
We handed out a whole bunch of money, and stuff
got crazy, the supply chain, inflation, We go on and on.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
Then all of a sudden, we started raising rates.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
And once we started raising rates, things got more and
more expensive, and they continued to get more and more expensive.
They continued, but people were still trying to live the
same So they're robbing Peter to pay Paul. And for
a while it worked and they were stretching their credit cards.
Now they're at the point where their paychecks don't go
as far as they should, and they hope and they want.
So you went from having a paycheck that not only

(01:01:16):
got you through, but you had a little left over,
to one that was paycheck to paycheck but it was tight,
but we were there to this isn't enough, So I'm
gonna have to look for something else, and I'm robbing
Peter to pay Paul to Oh my god, I'm in
trouble to the point now where they're like, all right,
how do we keep people eating at restaurants from door

(01:01:37):
dash will? I don't know, do buy now pay later
for your burger? Not a good situation right here, So
we'll see what it looks like. But this to me,
you know, and you heard her say there, that so
much of the economy is driven on the consumer seventy

(01:01:59):
p and if we feel good in the consumption space,
if we feel confident in the consumption space and we spend,
that is the best indicator to me when it comes
to the economy.

Speaker 5 (01:02:12):
It is not the inflation numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
And this that and the other that's always out there. Oh,
it's about the It is about the confidence that we
have in the economy that matters three two, three, five,

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Speaking of the economy, those snacks are getting more expensive.

Speaker 14 (01:02:43):
The snack food aisle is getting hit with a serious
price crunch, leaving some customers at the checkout line with
little to smile about.

Speaker 22 (01:02:50):
When did this small bag that was ninety nine cents
become two sixty nine.

Speaker 14 (01:02:56):
A recent survey finding forty two percent of people are
so fed up with high prizes they're leaving snack food
off their grocery lists and buying fewer sweet and salty treats.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
I would expect that you're having to make serious choices.
Those choices are that's a luxury at this point in time.
Which used to be a.

Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
Throwaway item is now become a luxury.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
What used to be something that it was a no
brainer to throw inside your basket has now become you
know what. We got to make serious decisions because we've
only got so much to spend, and we've got to
stretch this for as far as we possibly can, so
you're going to get the you know, if instead of

(01:03:41):
getting two or three treats you may only get one.

Speaker 14 (01:03:45):
It significantly helped my grocery bill, and food giants are
feeling the bite of that cost cutback. General Mills reporting
a slowdown in sales for its snack categories, while Campbell's,
the owner of Goldfish and Snyder's Puzzel brands, saw a
three percent sales drop in the latest quarter. Last month. PepsiCo,

(01:04:05):
the owner of Free Delay, also reporting its salty and
savory offerings underperformed, with people buying three percent fewer snacks.
Though at CEO is optimistic business will bounce back.

Speaker 26 (01:04:18):
You have to continue to give value to consumers in
terms of portion sizes, or entry points or value packs.

Speaker 14 (01:04:26):
Between the bird flu outbreak, tariffs, and a rapidly changing
climate affecting food production, prices are expected to keep growing
at above average rates.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Not good and if your check's not outgrowing it, then
you'll be making more and more decisions on your snacking,
from snacks to your DoorDash. Things are getting more expensive.

How about a trip to the museum Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
Fronting with Scissors sounds great compared to.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
This, say, one of my favorite episodes A Family Guy
is when Peter has a kind of sort of heart
attack aka panic attack, and the doctor does something to him,
prescribes him something. WHOA, You're alive? What happened? Did I
have a heart attack?

Speaker 24 (01:06:48):
No?

Speaker 34 (01:06:49):
You had a panic attack or in medical terms, a
heart attack for Wooseyes, Hey, we have a bet going.
Do you remember if you put your wrist to your
forehead like a Nancy Boy when you fainted? I choose
not to answer. Reader, you need to get your stress
under control. I'm texting you a link to a collection
of songs called yacht rock. Anytime I'm feeling stressed, I
play this music and it really mellows me out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
I think it'll work for you, well, what is that?

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Is that like goat?

Speaker 5 (01:07:14):
No, No, it's more like la.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Da da Oh good, it's lad Because I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
No, I assure you it's lad.

Speaker 34 (01:07:29):
If you'll excuse me, I have more music to prescribe
to sick patients.

Speaker 8 (01:07:33):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
I say that because A was hilarious. It's one of
my favorite episodes, but also because the Swiss are now
prescribing things not quite yacht rock, but very relaxing.

Speaker 35 (01:07:44):
You wrap, someone give you unsolicited advice, like you know,
you should get out more. My mom loves doing this,
like go out, go to a museum, get some culture.
Well maybe advice like this is just what the doctor ordered. Recently,
the city of New Chattel, Switzerland, started a new program
in which doctors can prescribe a visit to a local museum.
A city council member described it as a museum order.

Speaker 22 (01:08:08):
There are four museums involved, and the idea is to
promote health through culture culture as a way to get better.

Speaker 35 (01:08:15):
Tickets will be free for these patients. They dedicated over
ten thousand dollars to the program, and you can see
why mental health professionals would be on board, right.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Absolutely, very relaxing, go there, enjoy yourself, take a deep breath,
look at the beautiful art. I mean you're in Switzerland,
so I don't know how much stress you're really under.

Speaker 8 (01:08:36):
But still.

Speaker 35 (01:08:36):
Art therapy has been shown to help people recover from trauma,
children with language difficulties, seniors with dementia. A World Health
Organization report said it even helps prevent frailty and premature mortality.
But what's interesting here is doctors say it's not just
about your mental health. Think about every time you visited
a museum. It's not a loungey experience. You're standing, you're walking.

(01:08:59):
For an elderly patient who's getting less mobile, a museum
trip could be the exact right amount of exercise. Surgeons
have recently been preaching the benefits of prehab exercising before surgery.
It gets your muscles engaged, it gets your cardiovascular system
working harder.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
That's nice. Yeah, it's like the people are older and
they go for the walks in the malls and stuff
like that. It is it's about moving around. All of
this is about that, but it's also about being just
taking it all in, going from place to place, walking
without the stress, and again looking at the art and
you're in Switzerland. Now, if you are prescribed this, you
probably have to go to your you know, so somebody says,

(01:09:38):
the doctor says, hey, you got an issue, I'm going
to prescribe you. You know, I don't know. Let's just
say a museum and it's not in Switzerland, so you're
gonna have to go to a museum by you.

Speaker 5 (01:09:49):
But it's a kids museum.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
And it's allowed. Well, I'm just telling you you got
to do something. And this speaks to what.

Speaker 35 (01:09:54):
Doctors are often trying to communicate to their patients that
there's not just one way to get healthier. From our brains,
to our bodies, to our interpersonal connections. Everything feeds off
of everything else except between.

Speaker 22 (01:10:07):
It can be a person with depression, it can be
a person who is trouble walking, it can be a
person with a chronic illness. Culture really does good for
a lot of people, and maybe even you.

Speaker 35 (01:10:17):
Local cultural ministers who oversaw attendance and dips of the
height of the pandemic, hope that museums are only the
first step. Could your doctor one day prescribe theater tickets
piano lessons, even if you've been wanting to get out
of the house and challenge your mind more often. Sometimes
it helps to hear from someone in a white coat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Theater tickets chat, I'm gonna send you to the opera.
I'm doing well, I know, but I want you not
to do well. I just theater tickets. That'd be interesting.
But you know what a prescription like going outside? Man,
sunrays hitting your face. Just you know how it is.

(01:10:59):
I mean, you know it's I got my wife and
always joke because now that we live in a place
where there's seasons. When you live in Arizona, you're powered
by the sun.

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
You got to learn to work around a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
But it is very interesting when you think about, you know,
the joke of being prescribed yacht rock or something like
going to a museum. But it's nice, right, it's outside
of the norm. You're walking around, you're taking a deep breath,
you're looking at stuff and you're thinking yourself, I could
have painted that, I could have painted that. What do

(01:11:35):
they get for this? Then you become stressed again. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Remember that giant infrastructure bill, right, We're gonna build back better,
whatever the hell it was called. You remember that huge
infrastructure bill. Whatever happened to any of that? What I
do know is most high speed internet nobody's connected. What
did they build like three EV charging ports? And what

(01:13:55):
about the rest of the stuff. Well, the grades are
out for infrastructure. Kids were not doing well.

Speaker 36 (01:14:03):
Some of these sectors got grades. I would probably get
you grounded. The best performers. We're talking about our ports
and railways, but when it comes to roads, dams, in
the aviation system, they were among the worst performers. And
this comes as aviation safety will be the focus of
a key hearing on Capitol Hill this week, and the
families of those killed in that mid air collision are

(01:14:26):
demanding change.

Speaker 12 (01:14:28):
It's so much loss, it's so much unnecessary loss.

Speaker 36 (01:14:32):
Rachel Feris feels like she has to be a voice
for those silenced in January's mid air collision over Washington
d C.

Speaker 12 (01:14:39):
I want people to remember that all sixty seven souls
on board were precious, They were beautiful. This isn't just
an accident that we move on from.

Speaker 36 (01:14:50):
Among them, her cousin Peter Livingston, his wife, and their
two young daughters and miss.

Speaker 12 (01:14:54):
Him terribly, and the moments that fell really undo me
is when I look at the pictures of his girls,
those are the moments that I find just impossible.

Speaker 8 (01:15:09):
You won't get to see them grow up.

Speaker 12 (01:15:11):
They won't graduate from high school, they won't go to
the Olympics, they won't get married, they won't have babies
of their own. And they deserved that. They deserved that.

Speaker 35 (01:15:31):
She wants lawmakers in the FAA to take action now
to make flying safer.

Speaker 5 (01:15:35):
Well, who doesn't we all want that. And remember people
will sit there.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
Oh, this is all about Trump, and it's all about
the infrastructure across the board is crumbling. We spend all
this money for all kinds of things, and we've got
potholes in our across the country that the states don't
take care of because they rob Peter to pay Paul.
We have crumbling bridges just about everywhere. And we've talked

(01:16:07):
about how behind the aviation industry is to the planes.
So does the planes get more advanced the aviation industry,
in particular the air traffic controllers and whatnot. They're still
using stuff that is very adequated. Some have upgraded, but
nothing like the planes themselves. We've got to do better.

Speaker 36 (01:16:28):
The newly released Infrastructure report Card gave the US aviation
system a D plus, unchanged from four years ago, due
in part to the slow pace of modernization and a
funding gap of one hundred and fourteen billion dollars over
the next ten years.

Speaker 25 (01:16:42):
While we have made progress, there certainly are warning signs
and that tell us that we need to further invest.

Speaker 36 (01:16:49):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is now calling for rapid updates
to the country's aging air traffic control system. Does it
upset you that it takes people dying to get attention
to make a change.

Speaker 12 (01:17:00):
Somebody called it a tombstone mentality. Every regulation is written
in blood, and that's not the way we should be
doing things. I think that's outrageous.

Speaker 8 (01:17:09):
Is that what makes you want to fight for change.

Speaker 12 (01:17:12):
This loss is with us forever, and I don't want
anyone else to experience this.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
The tombstone mentality that she's talking about is reaction mentality.
When something bad happens that costs lives and makes us
look bad, we will then make a change.

Speaker 5 (01:17:37):
But only then. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
One of the things that's extremely frustrating, and this is
the thing that hurts democrats more than anything else when
it comes to the governance of certain things. And I think,
you know, as we've talked about it with Ezra Klein
and his new book along with Derek Thompson, of the
over regulation of everything, getting something done takes forever getting

(01:18:07):
something done, I e. We have passed the bill, we
have allocated money. Now it is time for you to
go put this thing and work on it. And the
railroad train is a perfect example, the chew chew train
from hell in California, where they've passed the bill in
two thousand and eight, we're in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 5 (01:18:26):
They've laid like.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
A foot they're not even done with their you know,
environmental impact study. So think about that. Think about that
for a second. Seventeen years you're still looking at the
environmental impact. Is somebody crawling on their belly. How's this working?

(01:18:50):
And that's the thing that frustrates people with government. How
many things you have to go through to get something done.
And it only isn't until something horrific happens that there's
a reaction to things.

Speaker 36 (01:19:04):
Overall, infrastructure earned a CE. Eight of the eighteen segments
showed improvement, and the author's credit the billions of dollars
that have been spent under the Infrastructure Bill for that improvement.
The underperforming sectors have large unfunded gaps between where the
funding is now and future needs, as well as need
to focus more on resiliency against severe weather.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
Lots of unfunded stuff. I mean some of these bridges.
I mean think about you drive over a bridge every day.
How old is that bridge? When's the last time that
bridge was really checked? And when do we fix bridges
or pay attention to bridges when bridges fold down. That's
that tombstone mentality that that lady was talking about. Three two, three, five,

(01:19:47):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's shows,
your Twitter tweet at as text to program, I want
you to imagine this. You're sitting on your boat by boat,
I mean crews. You're enjoying yourself when an announcement comes
across the loudspeaker.

Speaker 37 (01:20:04):
The warning game is a shot across the bound of
passengers on board the Queen Anne ship sailing on a
global voyage and passing through the Philippines when it issued
precautionary measures in case of pirates.

Speaker 30 (01:20:20):
We also request that you turn off your statum lights
were not needed and close the cuftains of your stateroom
window or balcony.

Speaker 37 (01:20:28):
Willie McGinley posted this video to TikTok that's now received
almost nine million views. Was there any thought on your head, like,
there's no way that we have to be worried about pirates?

Speaker 8 (01:20:40):
There are people who were nervous.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Of course, when you do world THROUGHSS, you do come
across places like this.

Speaker 8 (01:20:46):
It's part of the adventist hip.

Speaker 37 (01:20:48):
She also posted about the water cannons there for safety.

Speaker 8 (01:20:53):
Around the event.

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
I gotta be honest with you, how cal would that be?
You got a cruise ship, chances them scaling? It is
probably slimmed to none. You've got the water cannons, but
you know you're on vacation, little adventures, all right, right?

Speaker 37 (01:21:13):
Some passengers on the lookout using binoculars.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
By the way, the old guy in the video, sure, yeah,
Should I want to shade them? Come on away a pirate?

Speaker 8 (01:21:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
Where are you a pirate? I'd like to get you,
I continue.

Speaker 37 (01:21:28):
Some passengers on the lookout using binoculars. Chris gray Faust
with Cruise Critic, says that despite the apparent oddity of
the situation, it's not cause for concern.

Speaker 38 (01:21:39):
And while it might be scary for passengers on board
a ship, particularly if they're not aware of geography or
where they are to hear an announcement like that. It
actually is fairly common in certain areas of the world.

Speaker 37 (01:21:51):
According to Kruz Critic, close to fifty percent of modern
pirate attacks occur in East Asia and the Pacific, with
a little more than a fifth in Sub Saharan Africa.
Hotspots include the Gulf of Aden to Singapore Strait and
the Sulu Si where the Queen Anne was traveling. It
is also a major shipping route.

Speaker 38 (01:22:10):
Keep in mind that pirates are not looking generally to
harm people. They are looking for financial gain.

Speaker 5 (01:22:17):
Are they?

Speaker 8 (01:22:17):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
I am the captain. Now I am the captain. Okay, okay,
you captain the ship. How does it work? I'm not
telling you you're the captain. Oh man, crazy. Now Quenard
runs this thing, They're like, ah, everything's okay.

Speaker 37 (01:22:35):
This it's just part of the fun of a cruising
While there have been a few brushes between cruise ships
and pirates, those instances are exceedingly rare. Do you feel
safe right now on board the Queen An?

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
Completely completely safe.

Speaker 39 (01:22:48):
Part of standard maritime procedures our captains may make precautionary
announcements when sailing through certain regions. There was no specific
threat to the ship or its guests, and our on
board experience remained uninterrupted. We did speak with cruise critic.
They said they had been tracking the industry for a
long long time. They have never seen a situation where
pirates are threatening cruisers, so this was precautionary, but nothing

(01:23:12):
to worry about.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
On the open seat, boo boo, I paid good money.
I want to fight a pirate. They did not, No,
they didn't. But you can actually do that now. I
know what you're thinking, Jed, What the hell are you
talking about? Will should be talking about? I am talking
about serious stuff. Don't care about the rest of the crap.

(01:23:33):
This is serious business. You'll be talking to your friends,
not about whether or not there's a leak the Pentagon
or what the judge said to Trump. But hey, babe,
I heard some of the Jed Benson show today. You
can actually go fight pirates. There are several groups throughout

(01:23:54):
parts of Africa where you can go and sign up
for a pirate hunting cruise where you can rent AK
forty seven's grenade launchers, rocket launchers and you fight against
the pirates if they try to attack you because you
stay extra close to the shore. The boats sail from

(01:24:18):
Djibouti in Somalia to Mobasa and Kenya and you stay
very close.

Speaker 5 (01:24:25):
But don't worry.

Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
It's not just you and a bunch of other you know,
high falutant people that paid like ten grand to get
on there.

Speaker 5 (01:24:31):
There are actual.

Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Special forces sailing with you to make sure that you know,
you fight off the pirates. How great would that be?
You go on a cruise, sign up for an excursion, Well,
we don't actually leave the boat. We're going to sail
really close to the Sea of Aiden and then we're
going to shoot pirates.

Speaker 5 (01:24:52):
So there's that. I was going to go.

(01:29:12):
the text league came from.

Speaker 8 (01:29:14):
W W E.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
Raw Greenland, Pete Hegseth caineve Alaskaz Snap Hillary, Secretary of
Defense Mike Waltz. Supposedly he's the one who screwed this
whole thing up with the texts, Oh my goodness, me
and war plans all things trending the magical world of Twitter. Yeah,

(01:29:38):
the war plans thing. That was a swing and a miss.
And then everybody runs to their side of the aisles.
All right, let me tell you what happened here. It
was a screwp No no, no, but it was somebody
else's fault. No no, no, was this it was? It
was it was. It was an accident, was this, that
and the other. It was a joke, It was a mess.
You gotta do better, guys.

Speaker 4 (01:29:57):
Deceitful and highly discredited so called journalists who's made a
profession of pedaling hoaxes time and time again. Nobody was
texting war plans. And that's all I have to say
about that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
So Pete, he said, thinks nobody is texting war plans. Well,
you were texting stuff about war. War plans may be
a bit much, but let's be real. You were texting
things that shouldn't have been done through text.

Speaker 8 (01:30:28):
Like that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
And the whole thought of well, it was a number,
it was just one number off. Really, the one number
sent it to the editor in chief of The Atlantic.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
That's a that's not a good look, guys. Let's do
a little bit better.

Speaker 7 (01:30:59):
Sudden Check at Benson.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
Show, The Chad Benson show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
I believe it was Homer Simpson who said after he
too put a journalist on a text thread.

Speaker 5 (01:31:35):
When it came to plans of.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
War, plans of war, what are you talking about? Jan Yeah, Pete,
Hegseth and the group over there at the Pentagon got
some explaining to do. How a journalist from the anti
mega world of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief,

(01:31:58):
was put on a text thread through signal with about
eighteen other folk talking about an attack of the Hooties.

Speaker 3 (01:32:10):
It is a shocking lapse in national security. Instead of
using highly classified secure channels, Vice President JD. Vance and
members of President Trump's national security team sharing detailed active
war plans on a commercial messaging app, texts that inadvertently
included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Yeah, he's not a fan, if you will, of.

Speaker 5 (01:32:40):
Trump and the administration.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
He's just not He's not a fan. He doesn't like them.
He's very anti MAGA, very liberal, all of the things
that being said. This one him. There's other people that
put him on this, and he said it started with
them sending me a request.

Speaker 6 (01:33:03):
I get a message request to connect with Mike Waltz
who's a national security advisor or someone who's purporting to
be Mike Waltz. Not an unusual thing in Washington. I'm
a journalist. I've met him in the past, so I
accept it.

Speaker 5 (01:33:20):
As you do.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
I would accept it as well. Why did they use
signal because somebody didn't have what app I have no
idea why. But there was no doubt that this was real.
Dude's got receipts. I put some of them up. They're
not anything intricate, there's not anything explaining what they're going
to do. But there's no doubt that this was real.
And Pete Hegseth kind of came out and he's like, yeah,

(01:33:42):
I don't really believe it. He just dude, just take
the l on this one, all right, It's okay, tap
out on this one. Said we jacked the pooch. Sorry
about that. We'll do better in the future.

Speaker 6 (01:33:52):
I had actually mistakenly been included in a conversation of
the Principal's Committee, essentially the the leaders of the national
security community, including the head of the CIA.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
Again, there was a lot of people on this Vice
President was on the list.

Speaker 6 (01:34:09):
It's a robust conversation. It's actually pretty impressive in some ways.
They're going back and forth a lot of resentment directed
at European allies in the United States, which obviously enhanced
the credibility of this chain, because everybody in the chain
sounded like the people I know who are in this administration.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
Everybody hate Europe. That's why I knew it was them
for sure. It was just a bad Let's be honest,
it's just a bad look. You guys, jack the pooch.
You come out, you say it. You want to make
things go away. Don't give reasons for people to look
for stuff. Come out and go you know what happened. Hey, guys,

(01:34:48):
we screwed up. Okay, this shouldn't have taken place this way,
but we own it. And you know your pee you
stand up and say it's me. We should have been
more careful. We don't think there was any nefariousness here,
unless you really think there's nefariousness here. Somebody said, you know,
the private sector, you be fired for this. Well, it depends,

(01:35:08):
you know on who you are, because if you're really
important to somebody and to a business, you may not
get fired, especially if it was an accident. And some
people are saying, look, one of the other secretaries or aids.

(01:35:29):
They have a J and a G as the starting
to letters of their names, right.

Speaker 5 (01:35:37):
So maybe this was just a mistake.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
It could have been. I don't think it was done
on purpose. I don't. And he didn't spill anything to
his credit outside of saying, look, they put me on
this thing. But he didn't come out with plans because
you don't do that.

Speaker 6 (01:35:53):
But I'm going to be responsible here and not disclose
the things that I read and saw.

Speaker 8 (01:36:03):
I will describe them to you.

Speaker 6 (01:36:06):
The specific time of a future attack, specific targets including
human targets meant to be killed in that attack, weapons systems,
even even weather reports.

Speaker 8 (01:36:22):
You know that the government is is.

Speaker 6 (01:36:24):
I don't know why Hexcept was sharing it with everybody.

Speaker 8 (01:36:26):
I mean, the precise.

Speaker 6 (01:36:27):
Detail and then and then a long section on sequencing.
This is going to happen, then that is going to happen,
After that happens, This happens, then that happens, and then
we go and find out if it worked. I mean,
you know, he can say that it wasn't a war plan.

Speaker 9 (01:36:44):
But uh, it was a it was a minute by
minute accounting of what was about to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
Yeah, it was a war plan, and they hit him.
They hit them art and they celebrated it at times.
I think somebody said, Mike Waltz, who's being criticized for
all this, even had emojis in there when we smatched them.
And there was also some interesting stuff too where JD.
Vance was not thrilled by this and spoke out against it,

(01:37:16):
but said, hey, front facing, We're all going to be
in this thing together. Okay, So when it comes to
the how I feel about it personally, that doesn't matter
because once we do this, we're in this front facing

(01:37:38):
for the President, for everybody. It's a united front. Great, fantastic.

Speaker 5 (01:37:45):
So it was a dope moment. You get over it.
Let's move on.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
Speaking of moving on, not quite yet. When it comes
to Trump in the Battle of the Immigraation, Judge, the.

Speaker 10 (01:38:01):
White House standing by its decision to send the Venezuelans
to that notorious prison in El Salvador, but the questions
about the men in that prison are only growing. The
administration acknowledges many of them have no criminal history in
the US, and lawyers for at least five of them
have filed declarations saying they have never been gang members
at all.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
There's a lot that needs to be sorted out with this.
There's been more than a few mistakes. Do I trust government?
What does trust government mean? Like one percent?

Speaker 8 (01:38:33):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:38:34):
I don't do.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
I believe that government is trying to do their best
at times? Yes. Do I think that this government's zealousness
to catch as many bad people as possible and try
to get them out of the country and say, look,
we're doing all these things.

Speaker 5 (01:38:52):
Do I think that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:53):
Maybe they could have overstepped in this situation? Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:38:56):
Do I think people deserve due process?

Speaker 26 (01:38:58):
I do?

Speaker 2 (01:38:59):
I do.

Speaker 5 (01:39:00):
And there's a difference between.

Speaker 2 (01:39:02):
You caught somebody that was here illegally, they have zero paperwork,
no asylum paperwork, They've committed crimes to this country, and
you want to deport them. That should be easy to do,
but to go off things like well I looked at
his tattoo and it looks you know. I mean, there's
some serious issues here and some questions that need to
be asked. And I do think that this was part

(01:39:26):
of a bigger strategy. And I continue to say that
everything is going to get to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 5 (01:39:30):
That's the way that this has been designed.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
Let's get it to the Supreme Court as fast as possible,
but in doing so, do everything we can not to
make mistakes and then say, well, these were all super
double triple classified, super secret, so we can't tell you
who any of these people are.

Speaker 10 (01:39:49):
A ruling from the Appeals Court is expected within days. Meanwhile,
the judge who first halted the administration's efforts to deport
more Venezuelan's judge Bosburg, he reaffirmed his ruling, saying, each
and ever replaintif deserves a hearing, is entitled to one
to determine whether the law applies to them at all.

Speaker 2 (01:40:07):
And law should apply to them it should. We are
not and I get a lot of pushback from this.

Speaker 5 (01:40:13):
We are not like others. That's what separates us.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
The way that we do things, the way that we
handle business is not the same as others. That is
what separated us for quite a long time and continues
to do so. And yes, they've had to bring some
people back already, including women where they're like, hey, we
did all these women were showing up. This is yeah, No,

(01:40:41):
you've got to do better. It's that simple. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
show is your Twitter tweet at US text the program. Meanwhile,
yesterday this was insane. So they had another cabinet meeting
and the Secretary of the Agriculture sided, Hey, let me

(01:41:05):
tell you about some of the stuff that we've gotten
rid of, and wow, is it wacky.

Speaker 32 (01:41:11):
But even at the US Department of Agriculture, we've canceled
three hundred thousand dollars contract educating on food justice for
queer and transgender farmers in San Francisco. A similar contract
we canceled in New York again educating transgender and queer
farmers on food justice and food equality. I'm not even
sure what that means, but apparently the last administration wanted

(01:41:33):
to put our taxpayer dollars towards that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:36):
I love the fact that she's like, I'm not even
I don't even know what that means. Oh goodness, now
you think that you had that cann that's got to
be it, right.

Speaker 5 (01:41:49):
There can be more.

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):
Oh, there's more.

Speaker 32 (01:41:51):
We canceled a six hundred thousand dollars contract in out
of Louisiana that was studying the menstrual cycles of transgender
men dollar contract. We canceled another contract out of a
university in the middle of the country that focused on
getting more diversity, equity, and inclusion into our pest management industry. Again,

(01:42:12):
these are nonsensical. It makes zero sense to use taxpayer
dollars to fund these.

Speaker 18 (01:42:17):
I know.

Speaker 32 (01:42:17):
These are just a few examples of the hundreds. In
the hundreds that we have found.

Speaker 2 (01:42:25):
The whole thought of, oh yeah, we've got to make
sure that we get more women into middle management in
the middle of the country and pest management.

Speaker 5 (01:42:36):
It's spectacular.

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
Do you think somebody comes up as like, dude, I
got eight hundred thousand dollars and I got to spend
it fast.

Speaker 5 (01:42:46):
What do you got.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
I'm like, I don't know it. Just make something up.
You're like, I was talking to my wife about this earlier.
I'm like, God, I wish there was more women in
middle management and past control. You're like, done, here's the money.
Just absurd, msurd indeed three two, three, five, three, eight,

(01:43:09):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at US text to program speaking of
absurd more attacks on Tesla. It's just absolutely absurd. Day

yell at this person or something ridiculous, and then well
then you're gonna get you ass whooped or even worse.

Speaker 2 (01:47:35):
Yeah, and there was more again yesterday, and it's continuing
to happen, more and more and more and more. Enough,
let it go be angry. I went out to one
of these protests. It was a protest. That's what it
should be. Don't threaten to kill people, don't threaten to

(01:47:57):
do something horrific. Don't do something horrific because you are
gonna f around and find out, and then everybody's gonna be.

Speaker 5 (01:48:05):
Like, oh my god, I can't believe.

Speaker 2 (01:48:06):
Look at what Elon's done. What you attack somebody's car,
You got your ass whoop? Or you got killed, and
we're supposed to feel sorry for you.

Speaker 8 (01:48:15):
Wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:48:16):
Wrong, wrong, That is ridiculous. They're already threatening the Doge
folk as well. Some of those people are pretty excited.
I'm gonna go work with Elon and Doge. We're gonna
do something great for America, only to find out, Eh,
you need to yell at by the American people because
they think you are sneaky and evil, which, as we
all know, is stupid. I think they're really trying to

(01:48:38):
help America, and if they screw up, we'll fix the
issue because that's what America does. But if we don't
do anything, the issue will grow and it will be unfixable.
