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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Take it or leave it? That is what Trump is
saying to the Ukrainians. You have till Turkey day. By
the way, when is he going to pardon the Turkeys?
The goofiest thing that our president does, every president is
the goofiest thing they done, not just Trump, but every president.

(00:34):
I think it's nice, Chad okay, But Ukraine, take it
or leave it. You've got to Thanksgiving. If not, you're
on your own.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
The deal being proposed contains a number of conditions that
have been longtime hardline demands from the Russians and that
have been previously rejected by Ukraine as non starter. Is
In particular, those conditions include that Ukraine must give up
the part of the eastern Donbasque region that is not
yet occupied by Russia and see the territory there. And

(01:06):
also it must cut its armed forces by more than half.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
This is it's a win for Putin. It is a
win for Putin. He look, uh, you know, we can
sit here and talk. I've you know, Trump, I think
overestimated his his his relationship and maybe the sway he

(01:33):
had with the Pooter. I think a lot of people
have at their own detriment, but there was very little
that the United States and Trump was going to be
able to do. We held none of the cards. Putin
holds all of the cards. He's got everything, He has

(01:57):
got everything going for him. He wasn't going to stop.
The sanctions didn't really hurt people at home. They weren't
feeling it. If they were feeling.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
It, if they were in a position where it was
bleak financially, food wise, maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
But no, now it doesn't mean it's over. But as
far as our support can go, Trump has basically said,
you've got tilled. And by the way, it's not an
accept by Thanksgiving. From what I've seen and read and
been told it, maybe you better sign this deal by Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
The reaction to Ukraine so far to the details that
have been coming out, has been very negative. There is
a fear that essentially the US has been coordinating with
Russia to draw out this plan, to pressure Ukraine now
to accept a deal that they see as abounting effectively
to surrender to Russia, because.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
That's what it is. It's a surrender. And you know,
we talked to my clients, our military analysts every Tuesday,
and he has said the same thing that it was
always going to be land for peace. They were always

(03:33):
going to lose some of it, and it wasn't, you know,
because the size of the military, really it's not even
the military at this point in time, it's the size.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Of the.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Mass of people that you have compared to what Ukraine has,
and they have more people than bullets out of bullets,
if you will, and you're running out of people to
pull the trigger. The cannon fodder they have over there
will continue because people aren't clamoring home yet for this

(04:17):
to end. If you go back to when the Soviets
attacked Afghanistan, arguably the most powerful thing that took place
that changed and shaped the Russians the Soviets from pulling out,

(04:37):
besides the weapons we provided the Mujahadeen and them fighting,
was what they called the Mother's Movement, and it was
a huge deal. So the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers, the
Mother's Movement was founded in the eighties and it the
whole thing was they exposed the entire truth about the

(04:59):
number of casualties and how young boys in particular are
being forced into conscription and also talked about the corruption,
the incompetence of the military and most importantly the lies
of the government, and they pushed hard and eventually forced

(05:27):
the Soviets to make that decision, and they did. And
by the way, Gorbachev wanted an exit. There was no
doubt he knew that this wasn't going well. Take away
the mothers, but this really pushed it hard and it
exposed other things. There's none of that going on in
Russia right now. There is nothing like that going on.

(05:48):
The one thing that's going to happen in the future, though,
is there's a brain train in Russia because a lot
of the under thirties, really early twenties males in particular,
have all left left, the ones that weren't conscripted and
the ones they bounced, a lot of them did, so
you lost a future of young people. That's a brain

(06:11):
train as well as an economic impact of them in
the future. So while there hasn't been that force kind
of thing back there in Russia, the reality of what
will come will be in the future. But as far
as now, we had no cards to play. Trump didn't.

(06:33):
His card in his mind was I can talk to
anybody into anything, watch me do. This didn't happen, and
we'll see doesn't like I said, doesn't mean it's over
because the Europeans, I think, aren't going to let this
go as easy as Trump is. But that being said,

(06:59):
how much more are they going to put put into this?
I don't know. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three acts had Benson chos, your acts,
your Insta, YouTube and mirror speaking of war and whatnot.
So obviously yesterday and we didn't touch on it much

(07:23):
because quite frankly, every day is is like, you know,
a fire hose of information, chaos and craziness. But the
the truth slash tweet that Trump put out there about
the Democrats, and again it's so much of it is

(07:45):
is chaos, It's rhetoric. Did I think it was a
good move.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Did I think what the Democrats did was a good move? No?
But everything is always on act extra in the world
of Trump and the media. With Trump, everything is always
on extra. There is no half. Remember was it the

(08:12):
spinal tap? Take it up to eleven. I mean that's
kind of what it is all the time.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett facing this question, does
the President.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Want to execute members of Congress?

Speaker 7 (08:26):
No, to suggest and encourage that active duty service members.
Defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing
for sitting members of Congress to do, and they should
be held accountable. And that's what the president wants to see.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
So Trump, in response to several Democratic lawmakers that were
military or intelligent backgrounds worked in them who were urging
US service members to refuse illegal orders, Trump tweeted out
about seditious behavior, labeled traders, call for them to be arrested,

(09:02):
put on trial, and then seditious behavior punishable by death.
He also reposted a supporter's comment that said, hang them.
George Washington would modern politics, which is make a lot
of noise, say a lot of stuff, deny everything you said,

(09:28):
and then onto something new. Do I think this was good?
I don't. I think it was ridiculous. I think it
was asinine. I think what the Democrats did was also
ridiculous and asinine, because that's what happens. Why did you
do it? Because you know, where were you, guys when

(09:50):
when Obama's droning all of the Middle East right, where
are you guys? When Trump's setting records in Somalia with
his drone strikes. It's it's funny because everybody picks and chooses,
so he got pushed back. Bipartisan thought it was a

(10:15):
little over the top. Also, people pissed, as they should
be what the Democrats did. And do I want to
go to war in Venezuela. No, I'm not going to.

Speaker 8 (10:27):
Do.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I think that we should be there fighting a war
in Venezuela. I do not.

Speaker 9 (10:33):
Do.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I think we're gonna have boots on the ground, God willing,
we don't. But alas in today's world of hyperbolic quotes,
hot takes, and tweets, this is what you get three two, three, five,

Coming up, We're going to take a listen back to
the chaos, the craziness, and the week that was with
our finally Friday sounds, among other things. This is the

(12:58):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Every week we say, man, that was a hell of
a week. This week is no different. And if you
don't believe me, take a listen.

Speaker 11 (13:21):
I think the speaker realizes the train has left the
station on us. Let's rip the band aid off and
get it done.

Speaker 12 (13:26):
Show some class, show, some real leadership, show that you
actually care about the people other than yourself.

Speaker 13 (13:33):
Two thirds being in the affirmative. The rules are suspended,
the bill is passed.

Speaker 14 (13:38):
I've got a hundred dollars walking in my hole.

Speaker 15 (13:42):
I know how I say.

Speaker 14 (13:44):
Anybody is burning a hold right through my boget in
and do my skin. I'm on the morning, I'll be
bron It's fine.

Speaker 16 (13:55):
I'm I'm done my motor running.

Speaker 17 (14:07):
The mayor that has taken over New York City. There's
a Muslim that's going to take down the city that
never sleeps.

Speaker 18 (14:14):
The reason there will not be a civil war in
the United States is because there aren't enough people who
actually care enough to get off there in ass, grab
a gun and go fight.

Speaker 14 (14:31):
Again.

Speaker 12 (14:39):
I know this is going to piss a lot of
people off, but not every belief deserves to be respected.

Speaker 19 (14:43):
Wednesday and Sunday, those are two of the busiest travel
days of the entire year.

Speaker 20 (14:48):
And you're going to sweartly submergent from the ashes, renewed
in spirit and united in purpose, like a phoenix reborn.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Windy had a thirty hours Lowly Kennedy Fannie.

Speaker 21 (15:16):
Again drove, let's be crystal clear. The President of the
United States is calling for the execution of elected officials.
This is an outright threat and it's deadly serious.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chat Benson Show. That's your ex, your Insta,
your YouTube, your Facebook, and all the other things. We
love hearing from all of you right here on the
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (15:50):
He's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was
extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman
that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't
like him.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Things happened, but he knew nothing about it. Oh, I
think he knew. I think we all knew he knew.

Speaker 10 (16:06):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Speaking of controversy, this is controversial. The battle of whether
or not the Senate and the senators who were phone
tapped should be able to sue. Lindsey Graham wants to
be able to sue. And this has all to do
with January sixth and all of this stuff. I'm here
to tell you right now, we can't sue. You don't

(16:30):
like your phones and stuff being tapped, Yet you guys
continue to sign off on the Patriot Act, which allows
things like that. This was coordinated with people in the
Senate in power.

Speaker 23 (16:42):
This wasn't an intempt to enrich anybody who was an
intempt to deter what was wrong.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
In my viewe never happened. Again, well, should it happen
to regular people or you guys exempt from that? Because
we know you guys feel like you're exempt from that.

Speaker 23 (16:57):
But I'm willing to work with my colleagues about the
five hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I am going to Sue.

Speaker 23 (17:01):
I want to let you know, I'm going to Sue
Biden's do OJ and Jack Smith I almost super rising.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
This is gonna be a hell of a lot more
than five hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad
that the House Republicans got rid of this, but the
fact that they're fighting for this as if there's some
sort of victims in this situation. Again, go look at
what happens to everyday Americans and the recourse we have.

(17:27):
It's not five hundred thousand dollars per incident. If you
miss any of the show, we always say, shame on
you grabbed the podcast. This is the Chad Benson shown.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Most of modern politics is performative. I hate to break
the news to you. We've been talking about that the
last couple of days. You know, got a lot of
text messages about the deep dive we did yesterday in
the Battle of you know, Maga, what happens from here,
the whole Nick Fuentes thing that's going on, and a

(18:27):
lot of you kind of said the same thing about Nick.
You think he's very performative. Yeah, it's unfortunate. Most of
the things that happen in modern politics are performative. There's
nothing really there. They solve problems that are issues that

(18:49):
matter on the surface in some way, shape or form.
You're not really solving a problem. What you're doing is
you're solving a headline. You're making up a problem. Okay,
Trump's a fascist, we're here to solve that. He's a Nazi.
We're all going to be in concentration camps. None of

(19:10):
that's true. It's all bs. You hear it over and
over again. It's boloney. Right, you're creating this monster that
doesn't exist, and then performatively, you're solving that problem by

(19:30):
defeating the monster that never existed. And that's what modern
politics has become. And it's a shame case. In point,
sharia law, it's going in Governor Abbott talking about the
Sharia law. Apparently it's already in Texas and they've got
a law against that.

Speaker 24 (19:50):
Well, first, with regard to Carrie and the Muslim Brotherhood,
we all know that the Muslim Brotherhood has been involved
in terror across the world, and as you listed on
your show, already worn out two of many examples about
how CARE and his affiliates are tied to both hamas
as well as to terrorism, and in fact, one of
the founders of the Texas branch of CARE was sent

(20:12):
to prison for sixty five years for financing terrorism. The
fact of the matter is there are people associated with
CARE who pose a serious danger and that's exactly why
I designate them as a foreign terrorist organization that, among
other things, prohibits them from me either owning or buying
property in the state of Texas.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Muslim Brotherhood bad CARE a lot of controversy, and yeah,
in two thousand and nine to one of their founding
board members was convicted, no doubt about that. So look,
Sharia law that we hear about on television, think about

(20:58):
those are far away lands that even most Muslim nations
predominantly don't have. But it makes for a good headline.
And again, I myself want no part of the imposing
of sharia law in this country. But it's not going

(21:21):
to happen. Remember the whole thing about this is go
and find something that you can rally a group of
people around, create the monster, and then be the one
that slays the monster. Continue governor, we.

Speaker 24 (21:41):
Know of at least two that exist in the Dallas area.
We're looking broader in Dallas County as well as Collin County,
which is right next to Dallas. And that's why I
sent the letter to officials both in Dallas and Collin
Counties to urge them to take action to root out
any Sharia course. And I am deploying the Texas Department

(22:01):
of Public Safety to also root out any Sharia course
anywhere in the state of Texas.

Speaker 10 (22:05):
To be clear, the.

Speaker 24 (22:07):
Texas Constitution does not allow Sharia course or Sharia law.
Texas statutes have banned Sharia law, and we are going
to pursue this until we purge any attempt to impose
Sharia law in Texas.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Now, is there Sharia law in Texas? No, because it's
against the law. You didn't have to put that in.
Are there religious courts in Texas? Yeah, Islamic mediation panels,
divorce mediation, financial inherence, you know, inheritance discussion, you know,

(22:45):
marriage things like that. Yeah, there is that. Oh you
know what else is there? Beth Din, which is the
Jewish courts where you get religious divorces, business disputes, Kosher
certification disputes, can unity mediation, Oh, but on any of

(23:06):
these things, what do you have to do has to
be voluntary, and none of it overrides American law in
the Constitution or state law. So it's great for headlines,
it's great for emotion, it's great for fear. In reality,

(23:26):
it means very little it does. It's performative, which, unfortunately
is what a vast majority of our politics has become.
One more thing from Governor Abbot when I asked about
yes kids, the redistricting, jerry mandering, whatever you want to
call it, that has been essentially stopped in Texas, Governor Abbot,

(23:53):
thanks eh. And now they're going to fix the Supreme
Court level.

Speaker 24 (23:56):
Well, it is part for the course. Also part for
the course for the who issued the opinion. The judge
who issued the opinion was overturned by a fifth Circuit
on Bond Court last year for his most recent decision
in redisserting.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
And he got it wrong. Then he got this one wrong.

Speaker 24 (24:12):
Now, and look at the senior judge who presided over
this matter in this redissurting case, a three judge panel.
The senior judge took that judge to task the judge
who wrote the opinion and eviscerated him and more than
one hundred page opinion. I never seeing a language so
harsh by one federal judge against another federal judge. And
I feel confident the United States Supreme Court is going

(24:33):
to agree with that senior judge from the Fifth Circuit
that this decision was a gross misjudgment.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
We'll find out again. And the other thing about this,
and this is one of the things we worried about
when we started talking about what's going on in Texas
with the redistricting, is if you overdo something right, so
you're trying to create five new seats and get rid
of the Democrats, sometimes you start slicing things up in

(25:04):
a way where you think it's gonna work, and the
next thing you find out it's maybe not working the
way you want it to, and you're you're, you know,
you're stepping over dollars to try to pick up pennies.
And that's that's an issue that I think we're going
to see in Texas potentially as well as potentially in California.

(25:25):
So just because you go and cut it up doesn't
mean you're gonna get the outcome you want. So, but
like everything, where does it.

Speaker 9 (25:33):
Have to go.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Kids, ladies and gentlemen, anybody, anybody, Yeah, that's right, Supreme Court,
because the Supreme Court does what it nowadays is the
decider in all things. Apparently, Oh that sucks. I know, right,
it is what it is. It's unfortunate. And I know
some of you gonna be like, I can't believe you
were saying that, you were trying to point out that

(25:55):
there's not Shari law in Texas. I know I'm gonna
get a few of those. It's the way that they're
going to shape it again. Performative. It's like with Trump,
you know, every day it's something new with him. Yes,
he can be chaotic, but the whole he's a fascist
and there's gonna be camps and he's gonna be this,
and it's gonna be that. And it is so performative.

(26:18):
It is so performative. When what do we care about?
We care about the stuff that most people care about.
Want a safe neighborhood, affordability. We want freedoms and opportunities protected,
not the outcome. Want our kids to have good schools.
We want that American dream. Want to be able to

(26:41):
go to bed at night and not worry about whether
or not you're going to have to skip a car
payment so you can make a healthcare payment. Those are
the things that people care about. Like I said, unfortunately,
the reality of our performative in nature, emotion driven politics

(27:04):
doesn't get the job done. And it's just easier to
go and try to scare people and get them emotionally
to buy into something than it is to do what
change their minds based on facts, data reality. That's a
lot tougher to do. Three two three, five, three eight

(27:25):

Benza Joe.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
We tell everybody you guys can reach out to us
because we love hearing from all of you, and you
can leave us a voicemail three two three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three, And people say, why don't you
take calls and do stuff like that? First of all,
we're played all over the country. I moved through stories
at one hundred miles an hour, as you guys know.

(29:38):
But we love getting voicemails and I try to get
through as many as I can every single day. Here's
our buddy Greg talking about Venezuela.

Speaker 9 (29:46):
Hey, Chad, this is Greg i Piro, guy that just
called you about Scott Galloway. I'm listening to you, and
I know it sounds weird, but and I'm not a
conspiracy theorist club, but I have to wonder if part
of Trump's in game is to try and make Venezuela
fifty first state and take.

Speaker 10 (30:01):
All their oil.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
I know it's crazy, but he's crazy, so they have it. Brother,
keep up the good work again. I love listen to you.
I was skeptical when you first came on, but I
really enjoy your show.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
I love he listened to us out there in cherylte
And I will tell you Greg now now and we
so they have run they run simulations on what they
think is going to happen in Venezuela. And since well
really since even when Trump was in office the first time.
The simulations go like this, we remove Maduro, chaos breaks out,

(30:38):
civil war and oops, it's kind of the way it's
going to go. And so it'll be interesting to see
what happens. Fifty first state. We don't need it as
a fifty first state, we don't, but we'd like the oil.
We would love some of those rare earth minerals. And
you know, we'll see what happens from there, if and

(30:59):
when and it does take place. Remember what Mike Clients,
our military analyst, says, once the army gets there, it's
a much different scenario than just launching you know, drones
and stuff like that, because if the army shows up,
then there's a good chance there could be some boots
on the ground. Again, you can reach out to us
on our social media. We love it, but also leave

(31:21):
us a voicemail One Hit Wonder Wednesday, we do it.
I always tell everybody leave your one hit Wonder that
you want, and we're trying to play as many as
we possibly can get to and we get a lot
during the week.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
Oh heye Chad for your one hit Wonder, All I
Want for Christmas is You by Vince Stance and the
Valiance with Lisa Layne singing it. That's a very very
good story about how they flew her in to do
that job, and in my opinion, that's the best version
of all time.

Speaker 9 (31:49):
What's he in?

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Leekulayne good Stance and the Villet Valiance and All I
Want for Christmas is You?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Okay, thanks, And that is not the same as Mariah Carey,
but it's interesting. We are going to do one hit
Wonder Christmas starting next week when we're back because we're
off next Wednesday, but we're going to do one hit
Wonder Christmas versions and I'm pretty pumped about that all
the way up until Christmas because there's tons of Christmas

(32:17):
and holiday ones, so we will be doing and yes,
that is going to be one of them. So again,
reach out to us. We love it when you do
three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson shows your ex, your Insta and
everything else. But that text line is also voicemail line
speaking of Christmas. What's that smell? I smell something for

(32:38):
the rest of November.

Speaker 25 (32:39):
Grand Central Subway station is trying out something new, unleashing
a smellable advertisement. When you get off the subway, now
you are hit with a holiday sent from Bath and
Body Works called Fresh Balsam, which may give you the
aroma of vanilla and pine. It's coming through diffusers and
through the end of the month, Bath and Body Work
says it will disperse between twenty and thirty pounds of fragrance.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
What remember smell a vision? Then they have that at
the movies too, where you would get to smell and
stuff like that, you get to scratch and sniff. Well,
this is a little bit different. This is a little
bit and I'm telling you it. Chances are some of
these areas, especially there, may need a fragrance refresher.

Speaker 25 (33:18):
What does the often opinionated New York population think about
changing the smell of their daily commute?

Speaker 2 (33:23):
What does it usually smell?

Speaker 9 (33:25):
Like?

Speaker 14 (33:27):
I don't think I'm allowed to say that on ABC?

Speaker 26 (33:29):
Do it?

Speaker 25 (33:29):
We'll bleep it anyway? Like Okay, that was a little
too far. Many seem to be in favor of these contraptions,
especially when compared to the usual fragrance emitters that can
frequent the subway stations.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, he was right. Though it smells like now welcome
to smell a tie as smell advertising. That would be
it smell vertising. I like it smell a vertising. It's
going to be fantastic. We keep the Christmas theme to
maybe the creepiest of the cree Smith themes. Right now, AI,
if you've not heard this story, so AI's everywhere. We

(34:07):
recognize that they've got the toys. Now, this is a
different kind of toy that, let's just say, went off
the rails.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
New warnings about toys that contain AI chatbots. Sales of
Kuma Teddy have now been suspended after researchers found the
bear openly discussed sexually explicit and dangerous content with kids,
including how to light a match well the matchbox with
one hand when prompted. The bear also telling them where
to find a variety of potentially dangerous objects, including knives, pills, matches,

(34:38):
and plastic bags.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Oh and let's not forget the sex stuff. The bdsm
it's like fifty shades of Teddy and there's a bunch
of other stuff. And the voice too, wasn't even you know, Hey,
what's going on, little person?

Speaker 10 (34:55):
How you doing?

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Their little boys and girls. It's me Teddy, Teddy touch bear.
Oh god, Teddy touch a bear. You guys want to
start a fire. Let's be fantastic, creepy af.

Speaker 27 (35:08):
We just have no idea what these AI toys are
going to do to a child's development and to their
mental health. And so unless you want your child to
be part of this experiment, we recommend that you avoid
AI toys for now.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, I would say yes, especially Teddy Touch a Bear.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chat Benson shows your ex, your Insta, your YouTube,
your Facebook, and more. UMAC show grad the podcast right here,
The Chat Benson Show coming up, hour number two of
the program. A lot of stuff to get to, more
on the economy, more on the chaos that is the

(35:47):
Trump versus Democrats. It's just I don't know what else
to say at this point in time. We talk a
little bit about that. Our good buddy Zach Abram, chievestment
officer Board Capital, is going to join the program. We're
going to talk about the economy, the investment world, the
surprises of Nvidia. But is this business as usual and

(36:07):
everything's great or is there still a bubble? Situation. We're
gonna talk about that as well a bunch of other
things that I promise we'll make you laugh and smile
if you listen to your show. Grab the podcast our
number two of the Chat Benson Show, straight Ahead.

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

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Everything in today's modern world of politics is performative, it's loud,
it is shocking. So what you have to do now
you have to shock people, because that's all anybody knows
common sense. It's kind of ab out the window having
a conversation out the window, nuanced. I don't even know

(37:15):
what that looks like anymore. Sounds like. So what happened
with the Democrats and Trump and the truth Post and
all of this, What you add is a perfect storm
of people who run out and they do something. The
Democrats thinking once again Trump is evil and bad and
they're going to war, et cetera, et cetera. And look,

(37:37):
I have been very vocal about what I think is
probably going to happen at some point in time in Venezuela.
That being said, Democrats putting out the video saying, hey,
you know, there were several Democrats telling the military essentially
that you don't have to listen to his illegal orders,

(37:59):
because that right there is absolutely off. What the blank
are you doing? Okay, what are you doing? And then
Trump of course took it from there and ratcheted up
as he tends to do.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett facing this question.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Does the President want to execute members of Congress?

Speaker 7 (38:18):
No, to suggest and encourage that active duty service members
defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing
for sitting members of Congress to do, and they should
be held accountable, and that's what the president wants to see.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
He yes, did he allude to them being traitorous treason
punishable by death? He did, so, don't pretend that he didn't.
But we shouldn't be shocked by any of this, and
that's also a scary thing that we shouldn't be shocked

(38:54):
by it. Luckily, there are several is bipartisan kind of
scratch your head for Republicans and Democrats.

Speaker 26 (39:02):
President Trump criticized by members of both parties after calling
six Democratic members of Congress quote traders and accusing them
of seditious behavior punishable by death. Representative it Keman response
to video released by the lawmakers all of whom served
in the military are in US intelligence.

Speaker 14 (39:20):
I was a captain in the United States Navy, former
CIA officer, former Navy.

Speaker 26 (39:24):
In the video, the lawmakers reminding members of the military
they should not obey illegal orders.

Speaker 14 (39:30):
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
You can refuse illegal orders.

Speaker 26 (39:36):
The lawmakers did not specify which orders they were talking about.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
We know what they were talking about, the potential of
what's going on in Venezuela. You're not talking about them
turning their guns on Americans. That's asinine. We get it,
but it is frustrating because this takes away from the
things that really matter. Yes, so if we're going to
going to Venezuela, that's going to be a big deal.

(40:02):
Do I think that we're going to I think we're
gonna put enough pressure on them, God willing. Some of
the other neighboring countries are doing the exact same thing
that Maduro steps away. But I don't know what's going
to happen. That being said, there are issues here. Still price, baby,
it's still price. The Republicans have to fix the issues

(40:25):
at hand, and that is price. That is the feeling
of drownding under debt and high prices. They have to
get a handle on it, or they will pay the
price themselves for it. You don't have forever to do it.
You've got a finite amount of time to figure this out.

Speaker 28 (40:46):
There is a saying, don't mistake the buzz you here
for a chainsaw.

Speaker 21 (40:51):
The buzz of.

Speaker 28 (40:52):
Stock market high's new Oval Office, investment promises and trillions
in tariff revenues might just be a chainsaw. Republicans face
a stark economic reality right now, which is that they
cannot keep blaming Joe Biden for the economic pain Americans
are feeling.

Speaker 16 (41:10):
The high funde price is our result of.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Is inflation going up twenty two percent under the Biden administration?
We're at two point five percent now.

Speaker 28 (41:18):
I would love to see the math of where we
got twenty two percent inflation versus two percent, But I
think I know where you're going with it.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
We check.

Speaker 28 (41:26):
The twenty two percent number is a cumulative number and
reflects a ton of things, not just food. The two
point five percent number is the number right now. But
since Trump took his second oath of office, the price
of coffee, ground bananas, juices, lunch meats has risen substantially.
This is what people are feeling. It is not Joe
Biden's fault.

Speaker 10 (41:47):
And that is.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Very true. The people that will support Trump forever in
a day, no matter what he does, will blame Joe Biden.
If Trump was you know, three years from now, if
we're in the same situation, but still be Joe Biden's fault.
But you already have those people, the people that hate Trump.
It doesn't matter if he gets it down to zero
and everybody gets a free house, you're still never getting

(42:13):
those people's votes. The majority of people who can be
swayed still understand this is a checkbook voting. Society and
perception reality the same thing, and reality reality is real
because not just a perception that things are up and
people don't feel good. The cost of life is more

(42:35):
expensive and we feel it. And the one thing that
people want is somebody to come out and say, look,
this sucks, We're doing everything we can. They want to
feel like you are with them, not gaslighting them. See

(42:56):
that's what Biden did. Biden paid a massive price because
he told everybody everything was great and if you didn't
believe it, you're an idiot. When everybody knew everything wasn't great, Trump.

Speaker 18 (43:11):
Sits behind his desk in the Oval Office every day
book the American people, and they.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Know that the economy is terribleucus. They're on Fox News saying,
by the.

Speaker 29 (43:19):
Way, for Christmas this year, you don't need to buy
gifts for anyone over eighteen.

Speaker 27 (43:23):
We're already at nine percent recent college graduate unemployment.

Speaker 28 (43:27):
President Trump is the biggest con job in American history.

Speaker 23 (43:32):
Donald Trump doesn't even want to see the word affordable
on his teleprompter because it will send him into a tailspin.

Speaker 28 (43:39):
Bill O'Reilly told us Trump needs a good messenger to
fix the perception problem, but maybe a different idea.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Well, he's the best salesman in the world. Should he
be the one out there selling it. I think most
people would believe that that you're the guy, You're the person,
You're the one that's the salesman. Go out and sell
it because you are the leader and people aren't buying

(44:10):
what the other people are selling. What's the old saying,
If you want something done, sometimes you just got to
do it yourself.

Speaker 28 (44:16):
Donald Trump is his own best messenger. He needs to
lay out a plan to solve this, and to be fair,
he's already taken strong action to lower costs. He removed
tariffs on two hundred everyday items might help to remove
some more tariffs. He finally put a timeline on the
two thousand dollars tariff refund checks see if that comes through.

(44:36):
He plans to investigate beef companies that are ripping off
the American consumer to be fair, Joe Biden promised the
same thing, no results. Step two is to talk about
those things every single chance he gets, and more importantly,
to let the American people know that he understands that
prices are high. Instead, the administration keeps telling owners not

(45:01):
to believe their own line eyes.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
And I will tell you when I do my afternoon show.

Speaker 8 (45:10):
It is.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Very pro Trump, like one of the most pro Trump
stations on the planet. And the guy that comes on
before me, great guy, great talent, SAMs Chris. He is
probably the most pro Trump person on the station. Says
to me, I'm sick and tired of them lying about

(45:33):
how good the economy is. You can be honest, You
can be honest with the people. Don't tell me it's great,
and don't tell me how amazing everything is when we
know it's not. And he's right again, I think we're

(45:59):
going to have a down. How long does it last?
Do I think it's going to be two thousand and eight,
two thousand and nine again?

Speaker 3 (46:06):
No?

Speaker 2 (46:08):
But do I think by the middle of next year
we should.

Speaker 10 (46:13):
Be all right? Yes?

Speaker 2 (46:15):
But you got to be honest with the people. And
the problem is, in modern politics, headlines matter, hyperbole matters,
honesty not so much.

Speaker 7 (46:25):
The American economy remains strong, with one hundred and nineteen
thousand new jobs added. Real wages are on pace to
increase roughly twelve hundred dollars. Cooking Thanksgiving dinner will also
cost less this year. Tax filers can expect an extra
one thousand dollars bump to their tax refund next year.
President Trump's entire economic agenda is aimed at putting more

(46:49):
money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans, So those
words won't.

Speaker 28 (46:54):
Change anyone's mind. They may make people more angry, and politics,
how people feel is arguably more important than how much
stuff costs. Five new polls this week show Republicans might
be even deeper and more worrisome problems than they fear.
Fox News forty six percent say've been hurt by administration's
economic policies. Marquette Law School. The dems generic House ballot

(47:15):
lead doubled from five to nine points for those certain
to vote. In twenty twenty six. Ashelan Insights, fifty eight
percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track.
Maris Democrats have a fourteen point lead over Republicans on
the mid term generic ballot Reuters. Trump's approval rating thirty
eight percent, the lowest since his return to power. Real
anger over the economy is growing, and the more Trump

(47:38):
says things are great, the anger people get.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Be honest with them and you'd be surprised. Continue to
tell them things that you want them to believe, even
though they don't, and you'll see what happens next year
at the midterms. The good thing going for you is
you've got time, and you're up against the Democrats and

(48:04):
as we all know, they're useless. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
shows your acts, your insta YouTube, add more coming up,

friends over there at birch Gold coming up. What are
we gonna do wear suits on airplanes?

Speaker 10 (49:35):
What?

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Yeah, we'll talk about that straight Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Flying can be a pain in the butt. We all know,
not just the dedlays, but the other passengers.

Speaker 14 (50:00):
What a dot push to bring back the golden age
of flying.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Flying was a bastion of civility, but today.

Speaker 14 (50:13):
Exportation Department site's a four hundred percent increase in bad
behavior and violence since twenty nineteen. But the FAA's own
data shows unruly behavior peaked in twenty twenty one during
the mask mandate at fifty nine hundred incidents and has
since dropped dramatically to twenty ninety six incidents last year
fourteen hundred and thirty one so far this year.

Speaker 7 (50:35):
The majority of people come to our airplane with kindness
in their heart, a desire for safe, uneventful.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Flight, and it is not a cage match every time you.

Speaker 28 (50:44):
Go to the airport.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Yeah. Part of that is the social media because we
see everything. Stuff could have happened on airlines twenty years ago,
and unless the news was there you weren't going to
notice it. So part of that is social media has
put everything front and center. There's no doubt about that.
I mean, you're on an airplane now and there's a fight.

(51:10):
People are live streaming it. I mean that's part of
it as well. So we think that every time you
get to get on airplane, there's either going to be
a massive delay or there's going to be some sort
of incident. But again, social media plays a huge role
in that.

Speaker 14 (51:25):
The fine for interfering with a flight crew can reach
nearly forty four thousand dollars per offense plus jail time.
All right, Rotori often caught in the middle flight attendants,
many of whom take voluntary training to defend themselves.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
The sounds like you got a bug out of this
foot and sash squash aritis.

Speaker 14 (51:46):
How do you negotiate with and talk down somebody who
may be behaving badly or not behaving appropriately?

Speaker 29 (51:55):
Absolutely, I think the most important thing is we want
to diffuse and de escalate the situation. We don't want
to make it worse. A lot of times, just taking
the time to have a conversation and utilizing your tone
and your voice that can.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Manage that, sir, We're going to ask you to be
respectful and if you could just take your seat three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your ext your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. We love
hearing from all of you right here on the Chad
Benson Show. What you need is listen here. Mother. If

(52:32):
you don't do what I ask, I'm going to ask
some of these big dudes around here to drag you
back to the galley and we're gonna duct tape your ass.
What do you think of that?

Speaker 3 (52:41):
See?

Speaker 2 (52:42):
See, one of those is going to get respect and
the other one is going to get pushback. Do you
know what's one that one's going to be? Oh, let
me know. And when I talk about you know the
thing about flying that I find interesting because because of
what we go through now with social media and we
can see everything all the time. If you go back
and look at the seventies pre seventies, pre deregulation of

(53:05):
the airline industry, flying was like a magical thing that
you did once in a lifetime, and it was a
big deal, and it was more expensive, and you everybody
dressed up. It was an occasion to fly. Let's bring
civility in manners back now.

Speaker 14 (53:23):
The DOT is asking passengers to remember their manners, offer
help to senior citizens or pregnant women, putting a bag
in the overhead bin, keep children under control, and dress
with respect.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
The Golden Age of travel begins with you. The Golden
age of travel. We're moving back to that now. The
funny thing is that, like, are we doing suits and tizing.
We're not doing suits and ties again.

Speaker 9 (53:48):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (53:48):
The this is how far we've come in this world.
They're asking people, Hey, don't take your shoes and socks
off and put your feet up on things. Okay, don't
be gross, that's all They're asking. Where's something somewhat appropriate?
Shouldn't be hard, but apparently we have to spell it
out for people. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benton Shows, your ex,

(54:09):
your Insta, YouTube and more coming up. Our good buddy
Zach Abram, Chiefvestment Officer Board Capital. We're gonna talk about
the economy, good, bad, indifferent and let us no straight
ahead Chat Benton Show, then Chad Benson Show, The Chad.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Benson Show, The Time of the Week, you talk.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
To our man, Zach Abraham, Chiefvestment Officer Board Capital. We
talk about you know, I don't know the markets, the economy.
First things. First, the jobs. I saw the jobs today,
and the first thing I thought of is, first of all,
it's September, not October. Secondly, and this is most important,
I'm not sure I believe those numbers.

Speaker 10 (55:02):
Yeah, you know, I.

Speaker 16 (55:04):
Don't really think you can't believe any of the numbers,
not for any potentially nefarious reasons, but because the data
is so unreliable. Right now, I'll tell you what the
ADP numbers sure don't mess mesh with the last you know,
the last numbers that we saw the FEDS put out.
It doesn't feel now I will say this, one hundred

(55:24):
and twelve, one hundred and fifteen thousand new jobs or
whatever they said that we're at. That is not an
impressive new number. But at the same time, unemployment ticked
up to Now that can happen that based on the
way it's calculated. It's really weird, but you can actually
have a better than expected jobs number and have a

(55:45):
job's number coming stronger and still for weird idiosyncratic reasons,
still see unemployment tick higher, So that doesn't tell you
a whole lot, but I think that what you saw
in the markets today it had virtually little, if noting,
to do with the job's number. I think that what
you're seeing in the markets today is you're looking at

(56:09):
in our opinion, and this is one of the reasons.
And I was just telling you, you know, I think
it was last week. I told you that before this resolved,
I expected the markets to drop at least five to
seven percent from where they were at. We're currently at
about six so right in there. I do not have
a crystal ball. As a matter of fact. Whenever I

(56:29):
make a prognostication like that, I assume it's going to
be wrong. But I'll just tell you why why I
thought that, and why that's played out. Whether you believe
it's a bubble or not. I think something that every
sober minded investor can believe is that at the very
least you have a market, it has an unbelievable amount

(56:49):
of future expectations built into it.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Right.

Speaker 16 (56:54):
And when that is the case, especially when you've got
a market that's trading it extraordinarily and historically high, valuations
never been higher. When it's come to comps to other markets. Right, So,
and what I mean by that is, in order to
keep playing that game, you can't just have things stay
the way they are, right because you were admittedly frothy,

(57:17):
we we have admittedly we just sat there and said, hey,
even sober minded investors would sit back and say, look
at the very least you have priced in outstanding future results.
At the very least. That's how bubbles happen, right like that,
that's what happens, and it and it very much appears
to be a bubble. And I was listening to people

(57:41):
use in Vidia's results, Oh, in Vidio beat on earnings.
That proves it's not a bubble. That is the dumbest
analysis ever. That that'd be like looking at Cisco back
in the year two thousand to identify a bubble. The
bubble wasn't defined by Cisco. The bubble was defined when
Cisco's customers couldn't keep buying things from them because they

(58:04):
weren't getting funded. Right, So, I don't care what Nvidia's
quarter looks like. Yeah, it's it's the unsustainable level of
CAPEX spending that is creating their quarter, which I don't
see how these companies can possibly keep it up. And
the reason I and the reason they won't be able
to keep it up is not because a lot of

(58:27):
these things aren't going to be phenomenal.

Speaker 21 (58:28):
They will be.

Speaker 16 (58:29):
But when you're betting that big, you've got to get
returns and revenues in profits that are commensurate to your investment.
That ain't happening any time soon.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
It's just not no. It's like open a how do you, yeah,
what we did thirteen billion yet? But you've you've got
one point four trillion dollars that you've got. What's that?
You just took a dixie cup and tried to empty
a pooled one scoop right?

Speaker 16 (58:54):
And and that's and and and and that to me
is the entire issue here. It's not that I think
that because of these investments, Amazon's going to go away.
I don't think it. Video is going I don't think
any What I do think, though, is nobody said guys
when you are putting up, when you're looking at a
three to four trillion dollar CAPEX schedule, Okay, keep keep

(59:17):
that in mind. Profits on the SMP five hundred last
year were one point eight trillion total profits. Okay, So
when you think about a capex investment cycle of three
four five trillion next year alone, the hyperscalers are being
projected to invest another six hundred billion okay next year alone.

(59:39):
How in the hell are their earnings going to hold up?

Speaker 10 (59:43):
Like?

Speaker 16 (59:43):
Look at Meta for example, Okay, Meta just did. The
recent round they just did was thirty billion, right, a
thirty billion dollar funding. Okay, So let's say they put
that out there at an average maturation or or date
of forty years, say forty year debt paying Let's say
seven percent okay, seven percent on thirty billions two point

(01:00:03):
one billion dollars a year?

Speaker 9 (01:00:05):
What was I think that is?

Speaker 16 (01:00:06):
Profit of all last year was what thirty five billion?
Forty billion? Okay, So just this one year's debt offering,
choose eight percent off next year's earnings.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Yeah, and they're doing a bunch more.

Speaker 16 (01:00:16):
They said they're doing a bunch more. Is your argument
going to be, while these companies' margins are being compressed,
while their earnings are falling, and while we're waiting to
see if the biggest bets in history payoff, you're going
to make an argument to me that their stock is
going to continue to go up in that environment? Hey,
you might be right. I would love to take the.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
Other side of that bet absolutely. Talking to Zach Abraham,
Chvesment Officer, Bullwick Capital, Wall Street, Main Street. Two different things.
But one of the things everybody looks at, obviously is Walmarts.
Their earnings were a little bit better. But one of
those things that shows people is it's just like McDonald's.
It's who's shopping there now comparatively to where you know,
maybe other people would shop at Costco More or Target More.

(01:01:00):
It's the same thing with you know, McDonald's. The whole
thing about you know, you're finding out more middle income
is out and higher income is in a McDonald's. That
gives me another little pause for concern.

Speaker 16 (01:01:11):
Yeah, so, whenever you're looking for economic slowdowns, I understand
why people would look at a Walmart and say, well,
consumer's fine, look at Walmart beat. Whenever you're looking at
numbers for discount retailers, whether it's Walmart, whether it's Dollar Trees,
you know, anything like that, you always have to take
those numbers with a grain of salt. And I think

(01:01:31):
one of the great ways to compare those numbers if
I look at a Walmart's numbers coming in really strong
and beating on expectations while simultaneously I see Ford McDonald's
do it. Conversely, if I'm looking at an inflationary environment
like the one that we're currently in, Walmart announces a
good announcements, but McDonald's is getting hammered, and Ford is

(01:01:55):
very concerned about the Ford the next twelve months revenue,
That to me means something completely different. So what that
means to me is switching, right, meaning consumers that typically
wooden shopping at Walmart are now doing it to save money.
So that is one of those signs where I look
at it and go if you're looking at Walmart, now

(01:02:16):
flip around. If you tell me a Nordstrom's had a
really good quarter in and of itself, right, it could
be just idiosyncratic, but that again, that would be more
suggestive of a healthy consumer. You tell me Walmart did
better than expected, that's a black box that could be.
That could just as easily be good bad as it
is good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Talking Second Rampachievestment Officer, Boll Capital, we talk about the markets,
but also the economy. Fourth quarter, we talk about it.
It's Christmas time. It's really gonna heat up. Next week.
We got Black Friday we've got all the things going on.
I still it's it's weird. I think we're gonna think
people are gonna go spend money, but I just feel
like there's just there. I don't feel the energy that

(01:02:56):
I thought I would feel this time of year. It
feels like there's something hanging out over everybody. And I
keep it the word affordability. I think that's the word
of the year right now. Yeah, I.

Speaker 16 (01:03:10):
And it's something we've been thinking about for a long
time because the way that I thought that this thing
would sort of evolve or devolve depending on how you're
looking at it is I just kind of felt like
that eventually the consumer would just sputter out.

Speaker 10 (01:03:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:03:26):
Man, that feels like what's going on? And and it's
getting to a point where if it's not happening. I'm
also not understanding that I know what guys like you
and I make, and I know what that looks like
compared to the average, you know, the average person in here,
And I know how much I'm noticing these costs going up.
And you know, I'm blessed enough and lucky enough to

(01:03:48):
where I'm in a position where it hasn't really negatively
impacted me. But then I think about, like, you know,
you're more middle of the road incomes, and I'm looking
at those people going, I don't understand how that I
don't I don't get how they're hanging in there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
As we head into this fourth quarter, I'm still, you know,
I want to be positive. I I you know, again,
I don't think we're headed for over the But then
I start thinking about, you know, the tariff stuff is
still all over the place and there that's not totally solved.
And although he did pull back and he right, I mean,
you know, they basically said, look, dude, here, you want
to know what's going on. We're not that nation anymore.

(01:04:21):
Tariff sounded great in the eighties. Well this is in
the eighties. So you know it's time for you to
move forward. And we've got to get out of these things.
But we've got issues still with the I look out there,
the credit card debt is through the roof. You've got
you know, soon to be the ACA's subsidies are going away.
That's going to affect the first quarter, you know. And
he even got Scott bessen otreck on. You know, it's

(01:04:43):
like we're you know, we're not probably gonna see a
you know, any kind of lowering of rates, and you
know you've got some housing prices. It just feels it's
like when you go play that game and you drop
a quarter and all of those quarters are hanging that
thing and you're looking for I'm just waiting for that
one where it hits it and everything goes, eh.

Speaker 16 (01:05:02):
Yeah, Well so and here's the way we've got to
look at it. I think what you got to do
is you've got to be waiting for an event or
news that is bad enough to get the government back
on the stimulus side of things. Okay, because that's where
this leads. We've got to change our thinking in terms of,
you know, you see a couple of days like we've
had here last week, week and a half, see the

(01:05:23):
stuff going under the surface, You're like, you know, this
is this is this kind of the foretelling of a recession,
is kind of the you know, pre warnings of a
crash kind of thing. I think we got to look
at it differently. I think we got to start looking
at it as kind of the pre warning or the
precursor to another government intervention. Right, and so because they
will they have to and and so what I would

(01:05:45):
tell people is, look, the game plan I think right
now is really simple. We can sit here and wonder,
you know, is the S and P going to get
ten percent more historically under overvalued or is it going
to get under value? Or we can do what I
think most intelligent investors are doing today looking around the world,
going hey, there's a lot of different things to invest in,

(01:06:07):
And I'll tell you what. Right now, the US, out
of everything I'm looking at, looks by far to be
the hardest market to try to navigate. Why don't we
mess around over here where the prices are one sixth
as much, where we can get seven eight percent dividend
yields and clean balance sheets and we don't have to
worry about all this stuff. And oh, by the way,
the one thing that looks kind of like it's actually

(01:06:32):
a sustainable move right now is the dollar heading lower.
So whereas a dollar higher biased portfolio was where you
want to be for the last ten years, I think
it's the opposite now. And wouldn't you know a week
dollar portfolio is about the cheapest thing out there right now.
And so will you have days like today where it
doesn't feel good where gold is down zero point three

(01:06:54):
percent and gold miners get hit for four and a
half for no reason. Sure why, because this market's dumb.
The same things that make people buy all the crazy
stuff over here is the same reason they're panics selling
gold gold mining companies because gold's down point three percent
off the back of an Nvidia earnings announcement, right, Like
what so you know, just and that's the other thing

(01:07:15):
you got to keep in mind when you're looking at
these ridiculous valuations on the one side of it, you
know that there's ridiculous valuations on the low side out there,
you know, so pick your spots. But like I've like
I've said, I think that there's if you're a fundamental,
disciplined investor and you know everybody's sitting around wringing their
hands about the United States, I just sit there and go,

(01:07:36):
stop it's too hard. Like Chase my head, my head
of research, he is the thing all the time where
he's like put it in the two hard category, meaning, guys,
you got all these markets out there that are trying
to come out of earnings troughs, that have low single
digit priced earnings ratios, and you're trying to figure out
whether you're going to get another five to ten percent
multiple expansion of the most expensive stock market in US history.

(01:07:57):
It doesn't need to be this hard. Go buy other stuff.
Go buy other stuff and wait for US prices to
make sense. They will at some point. They don't right
now than you.

Hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm trapped in a hashtag
factory and I can't get out the Chat Benson show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Just in case, and I say this that the economy
takes a dumper. There's always the hope that if things
go sideways, that maybe three three Eye Atlas is an
alien ship.

Speaker 15 (01:10:20):
Astronomers in the US and Europe have analyzed the fuzzy
images of three Eye Atlas, only the third object that
humans have detected coming from beyond our solar system, and
they say it shows signatures typical of a comet. Internet
rumors suggests that it's an alien spacecraft. At NASA's Emmitt
Shatria acknowledges.

Speaker 10 (01:10:36):
That we want very much to find signs of life
in the universe.

Speaker 15 (01:10:41):
But he says, this isn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:10:42):
Three Ietlis is a comet.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
That's exactly what people who don't want to tell us
what's happening would say, that it's a comet. It's a comet.
You got nothing to worry about. I'm not quite sure
about that, and by the way I'm gonna and I
and look, you guys know you listen to the show.

(01:11:05):
I believe that we're not alone.

Speaker 16 (01:11:07):
I don't you know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
However you want to spin it, is it interdimensional, which
is what I think it is things of that nature
coming from God knows how long. I mean, their technology
be amazing, but I go with more the interdimensional. But
when I watch a lot of people who are pretty
you know, like the guy from Harvard, one of the
big U astrophysicists from Harvard, he was like, it's probably not,

(01:11:33):
but it might be. It's not. There's no way, it's nothing.
It's doing things that no no comment's ever done. So
I'm not saying it's an alien, but I'm not not
saying it either. I think we would say the jury
is still out. Oh geez. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(01:12:17):
Coming up our number three of the program, last hour
of the week, a lot of stuff to get to.
Interesting thing happening out here in the magical world of Nashville.
There's a race that a lot of people are focusing on,
which is the Tennessee seventh, which is the next potential
kind of temperature gauge towards what is going to be

(01:12:40):
the midterms next year. Talk a little bit about that,
more on some Epstein stuff, obviously, what took place yesterday
with Trump and the fallout from that, and a bunch
of other good stuff, including what's trending, and our good
buddy Jim Kennedy and the Kennedy Institute of the Public
Policy Research will join the program. That's all straight ahead,
hour number three.

Speaker 16 (01:13:00):
Events the Child.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Poles are ugly, people aren't feeling great, and the president
feels a little desperate. Here's the good news. There's still time.
And you have the Democrats that you're up against, who
are still very unpopular among everybody, and the things that

(01:13:58):
they choose to focus on on don't move the needle
for the average person. That being said, we live at
a time where chaos and craziness takes over. We have
instantaneous access to everything and wear a fickle bunch. People

(01:14:18):
are frustrated. People are angry, and they don't want to
be told that things are better when they don't feel it.
They don't want to be told that, hey, this is great.
Don't listen to what your bank account says. Don't look
and say, hey, my eyes say something and you're telling

(01:14:41):
me something different. No, you've got to actually talk to
the people. As we touched on last hour, people are frustrated.
I hear it every single day. Trump still has time.
And why it matters is because if Trump uses the midterms,

(01:15:02):
I will tell you this right now, he will be impeached.
There is no doubt. On top of the impeachment, the
investigations are going to be it begin across the board,
and it is going to potentially get so ugly. Not
the kind of thing where we normally think of a
lame duck who's trying to do some stuff, But the
reality is, you know, it's like when you're getting ready

(01:15:23):
to go on vacation, you just you know you're mailing
it in. You're trying, but you know, you're mailing it in,
you're making sure things are okay, but you know, not
a lot it's going to get done. No, it's the
exact opposite. He'll spend the next two years battling in
ways that aren't going to help the people, and sure
the hell ain't going to help him. And it starts

(01:15:46):
first and foremost economically. And the polls right now are
not pretty.

Speaker 23 (01:15:52):
This is probably the worst ten day period for the
president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers
are us atrocious. What are we talking about here in
terms of net approval?

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Ready, well, take a look. These are all November poles.

Speaker 23 (01:16:06):
The best one of the group puts him at fourteen
points underwater. That's the Marquette University Law School poll type
for the worst he's ever had in that pole, Fox
seventeen points underwater, Maris seventeen points underwater, the Reuyter Zipsos
poll twenty two points underwater, and then taking the cake,
the ap North Pole twenty six points underwater. When your
best poll has you still fourteen points underwater, you know

(01:16:30):
it's truly bad. And it's as bad as twenty six
points underwater. We're talking about an average well, well well
underwater with the deep blue sea swimming with the.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
Fishes, that's right, and the deep blue shark that could
potentially be a tsunami next year could be heading this
way when it comes to the midterms, and that is
why you're also starting to see people on the right
start to feel like they can say a little bit more,

(01:17:03):
they can push a little bit more. They can definitely
feel like that, you know what, there's some safety in
numbers here because we're going to be held accountable for
what takes place next year based on the economy, but

(01:17:23):
also based on Trump. We're going to be held accountable.
And so you're seeing several different things happening when it
comes to senators and congress people who are starting to
push back a little bit more on Trump. You knew

(01:17:44):
would happened. That happens normally, but it's a little bit
different this time because he's had such a grip on
the party. Like I said, there's plenty of time for
him to, you know, for them to turn this thing around.
But you got to have a better plan than you know,
telling everybody everything's great, that doesn't work. What's the better plan,

(01:18:10):
what's the better plan because these numbers. First of all,
again in Congress, there's I said yesterday, Gonnareea has a
better It has better polling than than Congress, because at
least if you got Gonorea, well you know you're having fun.
Oh jeez, ched, but I can't believe you said that.
I know I did. But let's just that's why you

(01:18:32):
still have a chance to turn this thing around. Some
people say, well, if you get to Labor Day, you know,
I think by April next year March, if you're not
really starting to feel great about the economy, feeling good
about stuff, you're going to see a change. And people
are already feeling that, and the numbers are bearing that out.

(01:18:56):
You don't have eight months. You probably have five hit
the most before people make up that idea. Because remember,
while it's not you Trump on the ballot, you are
on the ballot because they're going to hold them accountable
for your administration right or wrong.

Speaker 23 (01:19:13):
If you think this is bad, what is driving these
horrific numbers for Donald Trump? Well, why don't we take
a look at independence Trump's not approval reign with Independence
Back in January, he was close to even. He was
at minus four points, not great, but not terrible. Look
at this number, forty three points underwater with independence and

(01:19:36):
the most recent average of these polls. When you have
forty three points underwater with independence, you know you're doing terribly.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
You can't win with this.

Speaker 23 (01:19:44):
If this holds for next year's midterm election wave, Audios, egos, goodbye,
see you later.

Speaker 10 (01:19:50):
To that House.

Speaker 23 (01:19:50):
Republican majority and that Senate Republican majority.

Speaker 21 (01:19:53):
Very much in danger as well.

Speaker 23 (01:19:55):
When you take the look at the pure research validated
voter survey going back to last he was basically even
among independence with Kamala Harris. Now he is forty three
points underwater. Whatever he is doing with independence, it ain't working.
They despising at this. That is just a colossal Oh
my god, it's a forty point move.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Okay. And I will tell you, don't pay attention to
what what I always say, don't pay attention to Republicans
or Democrats in the polls. Pay attention to Independence. And
independents are saying this is a no. And here's something
else that you know, others won't tell you, but I will.
They're exhausted. People are exhausted. I talked to several politicians

(01:20:38):
and they say, look it can be a lot, it
can be it can be much. It feels like every
day there's something new. Every day there's a new hair
on fire moment. And just like we've talked about with
anything you're working at the White House, there's always a
shelf life. Will you double that with Trump? In fact,

(01:21:00):
Senator Shelley Mora Capuedo said she's the number four GOP leader. Look,
he's got one hundred ideas a minute, and it's pretty
clear that some point you're going to be opposed or
at odds with these ideas because there's just too much.
And that's true, and it's not all his fault, and

(01:21:22):
this is not about blame or this, that and the other.
This is just about the reality of what's taking place.
That's why, though I keep saying, the Democrats, though, are
Trump's best case to get out of this mess, because
they're Democrats. They'll pick the worst ideas to get behind.

(01:21:44):
They leave the common man and common sense out of it,
and they focus on activists and intelligensia kademia like the
Manhattan crowd, right, and the La crowd, the San Francisco crowd,

(01:22:10):
and they forget everybody else. And that's why they'll fail
because their numbers are as porous as anything else. And
when it comes to the economy, foreign affairs, immigration, guess what,
nobody trusts them either. That's the luck that Trump has

(01:22:36):
is he's up against people that are useless.

Speaker 28 (01:22:40):
Donald Trump has the highest foreign policy approval rating of
any second term president in the twenty first century. His
numbers on immigration are well above that of the Democrats,
despite Democrats saying that nobody likes his immigration plans. How
is it that people feel we all so bleak?

Speaker 30 (01:23:02):
That's the right question to ask, and quite frankly, the
only weaker party in all of this than Donald trumpet
the Democrats themselves. The public looks at them and says
they don't have solutions to anything. They know how to
point to what's not going right, but they don't know
how to solve it. They know how to change it.

(01:23:24):
And in the end, the president's numbers are falling. That
is a fact in every national poll. He has weakened
in the last eight weeks, and it's significant. But the
one thing that he can take solvace in is that
the Democrats are even weaker on the issues that matter.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
That's Frank Luntz right. There, and he's one hundred percent right.
Trump has time, but not a lot of it, to
turn this thing around. And he's also got the Democrats,
which as we all know, are useless. Two words that
will matter here for the Republican Party affordability matters. Learn it,

(01:24:11):
understand it, preach it, and work for it. And urgency.
Make this your number one thing and be urgent about it.
We'll see what happens. It's going to be very interesting.

shouldn't get killed. That's the way that works. Fatima Bosh,
she is a Miss Mexico. She's been a crowned Miss

(01:27:43):
Universe two weeks after the viral confrontation with the pageant executive.
So issues there, congratulations to her. Over to Google Bills,
Hunger Games, Sunrise of the Weeping Fatima Bosh sedition. It's

(01:28:10):
just so funny. It isn't but it is. It's actually
a little bit of funny and a little bit of
sad the whole sedition. There should be hung trees and Dar,
you're just like really like jelly roll. He unveils dramatic transformation,
so his beard is gone and he shaved his face
and he's lost so much weight. And finally over to

(01:28:35):
X Nashville. The Battle of the candidates here in District
seven touched on a little bit throughout the day, one
of them with trending things three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex,
your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook? And Morphy miss Ayr

(01:28:57):
Show grabbed the podcast. We'd love hearing from every single
one of you. Right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Rand Paul vows to block the bill that's trying to
destroy the hemp industry. Schumer often that's the lady from Nashville,

(01:29:20):
Jasmine Crockett and the Buffalo bills. All things trending in
the magical world of acts and around the world. What
I know, right, Rand Paul, good luck to you brother
on that we've talked about the hemp battle. They snuck

(01:29:40):
that in in the last second and the Senate bill
along with the ridiculous you know when they reopened the
government that anybody was tapped, phone tapped, or or spied
on in their world that they could sue for five
hundred thousand dollars each incident. Two things that got through.

(01:30:05):
One of those the five hundred thousand dollars. One the
House went back rights right, they took that out, but
when they voted on originally they kept it in because
they just wanted to get everything reopened. And then they said,
we're going to retroactively take this up. But the Hemp
thing again, what are you doing? And go see who

(01:30:28):
pushed McConnell to put this in. How much money was
spent and it came from alcohol, yes, and it also
came from big weed, which sounds weird. And I do
understand why they pushed some of it. But it's just
such a nanny state thing, isn't it. If you missed

(01:30:48):
you the show, shame on you grabbed the podcast. Coming
up Our good buddy Jim Kennedy to Kennedy Institute, a
bubble pallacy research. He joins the program next Chad Benson
chap Son Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 8 (01:31:00):
The Chad Benson Show set time of the week to

(01:31:21):
talk to our good buddy, Jim Kennedy of the Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
All right, Jim, the Epstein files, When will they be
released to everybody? We will soon find out. But have
you ever seen anything in politics handle this poorly by
a group of people? Unforced errors would be the best
way I would describe it.

Speaker 10 (01:31:44):
It's pretty much Analogyo'd be. It would be an own
goal situation if you're talking about soccer, where they basically
kicked it in the net themselves and screwed it up
and have cost themselves lots and lots of points and
lots and lots of time and lots of lots of
messaging cycles. They could be something putting something positive out there,
but they're just basically answering questions about Epstein because it
has become ing grained. We've talked about it on and

(01:32:06):
off for probably four or five months now. You kept
saying it wasn't going to go away. You're one hundred
percent right on that it isn't gone. It hasn't gone away,
and it's kind of the point where they've actually been
able to pass this thing. And I don't know if
Trump has basically said, look, it's I'm losing on this.
I might as well give in and go with the
flow and then maybe it'll get over quicker that way
or not. But they are, you know, basically going to

(01:32:27):
be releasing its sands. Whatever was in that that's sealed
by grand jury testimony, that's not going to affect any
of the victims. So it's I don't know how long
it's going to take. I think they have thirty days
to release it after he signs it if I'm not mistaken,
So I would say it could be another thirty days
we go through this. I hope for the administration they
do get it squared away further quickly and get everything
out there. Then, of course, regardless of what's in it,

(01:32:50):
one side's going to say that they've doctored it or
they've you know, they've deleted key pieces of information if
it's not scandless enough. But the one thing to remember,
you know, multiple things are remember or one of the
key things remember is this was a bunch of New
York Democrats going around basically having parties with Jeffrey Epstein,
who were you know, people that were in business and
politics in New York though that were Democrats. There were

(01:33:12):
not a whole lot of Republicans ever mentioned in a
lot of the original rumors and people that just you know,
we got caught up in the crossfires that have been
on any lists. Sure Trump was on it because he
was a Democrat at that point, and he was you know,
he was for a long period of time. He was
probably the number one celebrity versus people that would come
and go on the list. But as somebody wasn't really

(01:33:33):
a celebrity, he was the number one celebrity. Is guy
in New York. I mean he was everywhere. He was
always on entertainment tonight. You know, he showed up in
a couple of movies. He was so big a celebrity.
And then he started the apprentice stuff. So he was
always a guy. I mean, you know, I've known of
Trump since probably the mid eighties. Yeah, around for forty years.
You know, just if you follow business, he's constantly been around.

(01:33:53):
He was constantly getting his name in the highlight, in
the lights because that's what he liked. He liked people
talking about Trump. That was the that he built. You
talk about Trump, you talk about the casinos. Well, unfortunately
casinos didn't do so well, but you would always want.
People were always talking about Trump, and you'd always show
up on stuff he was. He's one of the top
guys for doing Saturday Night Live too. I believe he's
done a lot of Saturday Night Live episodes too because

(01:34:15):
of the fact that he'd been in New York who
was not really an actor, so you know, he was
just always around. So of course he was going to
be somebody that would show up at parties for Epstein
and multiple people have come forth. There was an attorney
for one of the victims groups about ten or twelve
years ago who came forward and said Donald Trump was
the only person that we were subpoenaing that came forward

(01:34:36):
and said, what do you want, Come on into my office.
You know, I'll give you thirty minutes, tell me what
you need. I think he sat with the guy for
like ninety minutes, trying to, you know, help the guy
out with names and people that he could go ahead
and subpoena that would you know, move the victims groups
along as far as getting some justice for what had
happened to them. So I don't expect them to be
anything scandaloss on it. But why he keeps waiting so

(01:34:57):
long and fighting so long and then put out its
face news it's a scam, it's a hoax, there's nothing
there type of stuff. Just turn it loose, let it go,
and you know what, I would think somebody already knows
what's in there, and they're going to know that. It's
going to be probably mostly Democrats. You've already got Larry
Summers who's been taken down by it. You know, he's
out of the public eye now, who's a Democrat Secretary

(01:35:18):
of the Treasury under Clinton. So there's going to probably
be more prominent Democrats are going to be facing questions
more so than prominent Republicans. So let it, you know,
let it, let it all out there and see what
happens with it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, Jim,
every day is chaos. Every day from the comment to
about you know, be quite Piggy, to you know, MBS
and the way that that went down and the way
that he answered the questions to you name it. It
feels like everything is drama, everything is chaos, and every

(01:35:58):
week feels like the longest year of your life. It's exhausting.

Speaker 10 (01:36:02):
Yeah, certainly something every week, absolutely you're right on You're
right on that part of it. It's really you know,
I think we've talked about it before, kind of off
the air and stuff, that it is simply he you know,
he's just sucking so much energy out and it's just
chaos to the point where you're just wearing people down
because you're constantly reacting to something that you know that

(01:36:23):
that's within forty eight hours, you've got some news story
that you're completely flipping yourself to because of something because
of either the comments or it's the NBS situation, or
it's this today, and then last week you had three
other things. Next week maybe with thanks to you, you
only have one thing or two things to react to.
But you're constantly reacting to something and you're basically you know,
they're they're talking about twenty four hour news cycle and
almost that literally is in the sense there's another crisis

(01:36:46):
and I'm putting that in air quotes that comes up
for it. Yeah, the NBS thing is is I understand
why we do it. Like you said, we actually unfortunately
have to partner up with bad people at times. It's
a little you know, it doesn't make me comfortable to
partner up with, you know, to basically to the to
the level of praise or you know, gratitude that he
was showing to MBS. So it's one that I'm not

(01:37:08):
thrilled with myself. I know that we deal with bad
people at times, but he's not really you know that
he's not that kind of a person and all that
we should be dealing with. But he is a world leader,
and it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
Talking to Jim Kennedy the Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
All right, Jim, there's a fracture in the Republican Party.
I think there are people that are trying to set
themselves up in a position to run for president or
make sure that whatever happens in the last couple of
years of Trump's residentcy, that they kind of give themselves
a pathway to something and then and that's the politician

(01:37:41):
side of stuff, and on the other side of stuff,
competing to get votes, there are also people inside of
the public politics sphere of the Republican Party that are
jocking for their position of the pie. Nick Fuentes is
one of them. Tucker Carlson, you have all of these
people that are out out there, and it's weird to

(01:38:02):
watch what's happening. Trump built this maga world based on
him and his personality. He didn't build it for the
Republican Party. And the battle now I think is really
starting to heat up because they are not a cohesive group.
They're a fractured group. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:38:18):
The thing with this is remember, you know, as I've said,
Trump's not a politician. There's going to be nobody that's
going to compare to Trump because he is Trump. He
is a singular, unique person and has been for forty years.
And you're not going to be able to come in
and you're not going to be, you know, be like
being the next center fielder after Mickey Mannele retired. They're
not going to be the next Mickey Mantle. There's just
going to be somebody different who's going to take that role.

(01:38:39):
And that's going to be the problem, Like you said,
is who is that going to be? You know, I
think jad vanswered like that role. I don't see him
really being able to step into those shoes. They can
certainly win the presidency, I'm confident of, but I don't
think he's going to be necessarily Donald Trump. And next
person has to kind of shape that because he has
built a very success, well not a fairly successful political

(01:39:01):
movement because they haven't been done a great job of
electing other people. They won't have done a great job
of electing Donald Trump. Mostly that because they've picked poor candidates.
When they've run people again, you know, on the Donald
Trump platform. Some of them have won a lot more
more should have won that have won, and they get
picked poor, poor candidates. And yes, sorry I'm talking about you.
Herschel Walker in Georgia. Great running back, but probably not

(01:39:22):
the best person to have been a candidate for Senate
in Georgia. And we could have easily have won that
seat in a fairly red still Georgia. But who whover
picks up that nachlid run with it? Is it going
to be one of the kids? Is it going to
be you know, is it going to be Donald Junior? Well,
we're not really a big nation on building on building
empires where we don't like it. You know, we we

(01:39:43):
had that situation over twenty years where you had either
a Clinton or you had a Bush running for president
and America got tired of that after a while. And
I don't I think that once Trump, you know, finishes
out in twenty twenty nine. I think in January twenty
twenty nine, I think America is going to look to
move on, and sure Jade Evans could be the president,
but I don't think he's going to be Trump junior.

(01:40:04):
I don't think he's going to be Donald Junior. I
think he's going to be a different person if he's
elected or if not. Certainly we're going to a different
direction and that's going to leave a lot of people
angered and a lot of people frustrated. But the ability
to carry on and what's going to happen to that
movement is it gonna splinter off? Is someone like a
Nick Found He's going to pick those those those young
men up, because if you remember, you know, seven months ago,

(01:40:25):
the person who was who those young men were looking
to was Charlie Kirk and with and with the and
with the vacancy, and in the unfortunate tragic situation, they're
those of you know, I would think he was taking
them in a much better direction than Fontes would probably
take because I don't know how much of Funte's is
showman versus those are his true beliefs that he is,
that you know, set on those politics versus he's trying

(01:40:47):
to you know, be a showman and trying to gain
audience and and it clicks and likes, for lack of
a better phrase. So I don't know how much of
that is is a viable political movement. I don't think
it's necessarily the best direction. I've listened to him on
Tucker and he didn't seem to be that bad. He
seemed to have answer for a lot of the things.
And he seems to irritate a lot of the Republicans
either either for one reason or another through some of

(01:41:08):
his beliefs, and so some of them should be but
some of them aren't, as from what I here, aren't
as extreme as people you know make them out to be.
Then again, Trump isn't as extreme as people, you know,
as the Democrats will make them out to be, especially
like that's weak with the whole thing in the military
about you know, warning them about illegal orders we were
talking about earlier, So that's kind of a silly thing too.
But yeah, it's gonna be a question because that, I mean,

(01:41:29):
you're talking about a movement that elected to elected a
president same guy twice, and that's certainly something you're not
gonna want to get rid of and it's going to
mean what's going to happen to the Republican Party and
now going forward? Because you've got lots of people. I'm
not necessarily, you know, a hard coret meg. I'm glad
Trump was elected. I voted for him once out of
the three elections. But you know, if if you want

(01:41:49):
to go down, there's lots of Republicans I know that
are disaffected because they're looking for a more conservative, quintessential
type of candidate than something like Trump. Cause Trump has
not been conserved when it comes to abortion, He's not
been conservative. When it comes to the fiscal spending, he's
been horrible about that. We're still running a two trillion
dollar deficit. The doad stuff was a good start, but
it didn't seem to really stick as far as keeping

(01:42:12):
any of those savings of whatever saving we turned out
to have, because it seems like once they got in there,
they claimed all this money. Then in the end it
didn't seem to really stick. And there's gonna be some
legislation that'll be necessary to keep some of it. So
I don't know how that's going to get through. Congres
seems have advocated its job and we're running the country
by executive order and that's not gonna continue. So be
really interesting to see how much, you know, the midterms

(01:42:34):
may be somewhat of a benchmark to determine what direction
we're going. Then again, a lot of that comes down
to so much economics. If people are fat, dumb, and happy,
and they got money in their pockets and they're well fed,
they're not going to be upset and they may keep
voting for the same party in power again. But if
they're not, then they won't. That's generally what it comes
down to. Americans vote with their wallets, and if their

(01:42:55):
wallets are challenged, which say a lot of people are
saying now with costant affordability, then it may be time
for a change on it. That again, it also depends,
you know, there could have been a change for the
Democrats where they run a better candidate in twenty twenty four. Yeah,
now there's no doubt, but that Trump wasn't necessarily a
lot of people's favorite candidate. But whoa Kamala Harris. No,
I sorry, that's that's a bridge too far.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
That is a bridge way too far. That's a bridge
so far that no, no, not even evil Knievel could
jump the off that over that bridge and the.

Speaker 10 (01:43:24):
Bridge doesn't really go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
That's just not complete any That's just just incredible. Jim Kennedy,
Kennedy Institute pog Policy Research. Appreciate you coming on, dude.
We'll do it again next week.

Speaker 10 (01:43:34):
Thanks. Jeff joined it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
I love talking to Jim. If you want to reach
out to him, simple and easy at writing Jim on
the old X and check out his substack ki PPR.
That's for Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. We're gonna
wrap it up a little finally. Friday sounds straight ahead
my first Birch Gold. You're speaking to the guys yesterday

(01:43:57):
over at Birch and they're talking about what's going going
on and the potential not just for the rest of
this year, but going forward. And I'm telling you guys
right now, take advantage of what Birch has for you.
First of all, text the word Benz in the ninety
eight ninety eight. They're gonna get you out the information
kit that you need to find out all the information
you need when it comes to gold and whether or

(01:44:18):
not it's right for you diversification. But also right now
up until the thirtieth of this month. Their Black Friday
event is going on. What does that mean? If you
convert an existing IRA or four to one K into
a goldback IRA, Birch is going to give you free
gold with every twenty thousand dollars purchase. It's that simple.
It's a great way to diversify yourself. It's a great

(01:44:38):
way to protect yourself. Now's the opportunity to do it.
Don't delay. Take advantage of this great opportunity. Their A
plus Radar Better the Better Business Bureau, and I absolutely
entorse the hell out of them. They're incredible. So text
the word Benzon now to ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety
eight for my friends over there at Birch Gold. We're
gonna wrap it up straight ahead. Finally Friday. Sound it

(01:45:00):
is the Jet Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:45:11):
Irreverence, Like, yeah, so what it's the Jet Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
As we rep up the show on this Friday, I
want to remind everybody kind of chaos, craziness and lunacy
that has happened. It has been a week. It's the
best way to describe it. Thank God it's finally Friday.

Speaker 11 (01:45:31):
I think the speaker realizes the train has left the
station on us. Let's rip the band aid off and
get it done.

Speaker 12 (01:45:37):
Show some class, show some real leadership, show that you
actually care about the people other than yourself.

Speaker 13 (01:45:43):
Two thirds being in the affirmative. The rules are suspended,
the bill is passed.

Speaker 14 (01:45:49):
I'm not a hundred dollars walking hole.

Speaker 10 (01:45:53):
I know why I say.

Speaker 21 (01:45:54):
Anybody's burning a hold right.

Speaker 14 (01:45:57):
Through my bucketing.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
Mask him on my morning, I'll be.

Speaker 14 (01:46:04):
It's fun my motor rolling again.

Speaker 11 (01:46:11):
It's fine.

Speaker 17 (01:46:18):
The mayor that has taken over New York City, there's
a Muslim that's going to take down the city that
never sleeps.

Speaker 18 (01:46:25):
The reason there will not be a civil war in
the United States is because there aren't enough people who
actually care enough to get off there in ass, grab
a gun and go fight.

Speaker 16 (01:46:35):
It's ugg on my motor rolling again.

Speaker 2 (01:46:42):
It's fine.

Speaker 12 (01:46:49):
I know this is going to piss a lot of
people off, but not every belief deserves to be respected.

Speaker 19 (01:46:53):
Wednesday and Sunday, those are two of the busiest travel
days of the entire year.

Speaker 20 (01:46:59):
And you're gonna sweaty, submergent from the ashes, renewed in
spirit and united in purpose, like a phoenix reborn.

Speaker 14 (01:47:13):
Wendy had a thirty Hourly Unity. I forget.

Speaker 21 (01:47:36):
Let's be crystal clear. The President of the United States
is calling for the execution of elected officials. This is
an outright threat and it's deadly serious.

Speaker 18 (01:47:47):
I mean, what they said, what they did was I
think unprecedented in American history, and it should be called out.

Speaker 14 (01:47:52):
And that's what the President is expressing his frustration and
concern about that. That is all of our concerns.

Speaker 22 (01:47:57):
He's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was
extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman
that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't
like him.

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
Things happened, but he knew nothing about it. Oh what
a week? He knew nothing about it. It has been
a week. Am I right? Or am I right? I
was saying that every week at times feels like a
month in politics because there's just so much freaking chaos.

(01:48:30):
Is so much chaos. Oh my lord, God only knows
what's going to happen next week. And just to think
next week is a short week because of Thanksgiving three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
