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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
To deal or not to deal? That is thine question,
because apparently there's a weird deal out there, something has
to do with Iran US. But it looks like the
deal from the other day, but it's a different kind

(00:34):
of deal today it's a different it's the same, but
it's different. It is and it is a full memorane
of understanding that we will get together in the future
at some time and why we're getting together in the
future at some time. We will potentially talk about things

(00:56):
that we will talk about in the future at another meeting,
while we talk about other meetings, will discuss more meetings.
It's it's it works one hundred percent of the time.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Sixty percent of the the toughest negotiations are still to come.
This tentative deal says nothing of what happens to Iran's
nuclear program, the central issue in this conflict. The President
stated reason for starting this war to prevent Iran from
obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Always that always that we're preventing them from getting something
that they shouldn't have. Okay, exactly, so, I just want
to go over this. You're preventing them from getting something
that they didn't have and in doing so, you cause

(01:48):
chaos and life got more expensive. That's I'm just trying
to put it all together. Help me out here. So
there they are and here we are and we're doing
our thing, and you're like, no more wars and all
that stuff. And then oh, we got a bomb and
we'd gop and we all we destroyed everything. They've got
nothing left and this is last year, and they's like, oh,

(02:09):
I found out they had something left, so we're gonna
do it again. And now we're in a bad position,
and now they're gonna give up everything after waiting this long.
Here's what people need to understand. I keep getting told
they're the worst of the worst, and the regime is awful.

(02:30):
Nobody's denying that. But what I'm also getting told is
they're willing to capitulate. So if you say they killed
forty thousand of their people, that somehow now they're ready
to give in because they're worried about their people. I
find this hard to believe. I don't know about you.

(02:55):
This doesn't doesn't feel like that's what's going on. Maybe
I'm wrong. I hope I am. Here's what I do know.
Life's more expensive. Life is more expensive, and as life
gets more expensive, people are getting more and more frustrated.
Trump's numbers aren't great. They're not And yesterday, you know,

(03:17):
you got Scott Bessing out there, and you know, I
was talking about two hundred and fifty dollars bill, like,
who the else got a two hundred and fifty bucks?
Huh who out there? Which is hilarious. And we're gonna
get to that in a second. But all that being said,
you continually tell everybody this is gonna You're saying the
same thing Biden did. It's transitory. It's transitory. It's all transitory.

(03:40):
It's gonna come back, It's gonna bounce. Everything is gonna
be it's transitory. You know who else said that the
Biden administration. If you go out long enough, everything is transitory.
What do you think it's not gonna come back. I've
told you that will have a bounce back at some point. Now,

(04:01):
what exactly does that look like? Because go and look
at the numbers. The numbers are ugly. You've got one
in ten Americans right now who are going without a meal.
Parents in particular. Food banks are booming. Food banks at

(04:23):
this point in time are actually busier than they were
during COVID. Do you guys remember COVID, How busy they were,
what a shock it was. And I remember and the
when they closed everything down, And I remember coming home

(04:43):
from out to the valley of the dirt. People settled
down penol Kenny. So the little church by our house,
they would do like a food pantry, you know, drive
through thing, but it normally was just a little pantry.
You pull up and you get out, you go inside,
and they would do it maybe once a month, and

(05:04):
you'd see several cars there. But I remember getting off
the freeway and there's a long drive. When I get
off the freeway of you know, five miles here in
the middle of the desk. You get off the freeway,
you still have like a long drive and you're here
four or five miles in the middle of nothingness. And
then you pull into our little world out there in

(05:27):
the valley, their people Arizona City, and I'm like, oh,
there must be an accident because everything is stopped here. No,
it was for a food bank. It's getting to be
that bad for a lot of people out there. It is.
You've got a K shaped economy. If you don't know
what that is. The wealthy are doing great. Everybody else

(05:47):
is struggling.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
New government data shows Americans are saving less of their
income than at any other time in the last four years.
The personal savings right dropped sharply to two point six
percent in.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
April one year ago.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
I was twice that high, and typically in a healthy
economy that savings rate is around six percent. So this
does suggest that people are dipping into their savings to
help pay for essentials light gas and groceries as those
prices spike, and.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
That right there is a serious issue. It is. It's
a very serious issue because I'm frustrated with a lot
of this because it was so unnecessary and it self inflicted.

(06:37):
But you can have a combo. I was yesterday somebody
was arguing with me, look at all the great things
Trump is done, Look at all the amazing things Trump
is done. Look at all these things. So well, okay,
you know, I'm not saying he hasn't done some good things.
But tell me exactly what he's done for you. No tip,
no tax on tips. I said, oh, that's great. I go,

(06:59):
so you're doing great with that. Well I don't get
many tips. I go, okay, so that is that doesn't
even nothing happens there for that for you. Well, the well,
the stock market's doing great. I go, oh, so you're retired.
Well no, I'm not retired, but it is. My four
to one k is doing great. So so you're drawing
on your four oe k. Well, not doing that either.

(07:23):
And then he went to the thing that people do,
which is and and so frustrating, but it does make
me laugh. Boys can't play in girls sports. Now I'm like, oh,
there you go. That's what I want. You wanted to

(07:43):
say that out loud. You wanted to go to the
culture war because that's the thing to you that that matters.
It's a culture war. That's it. You know what. The
average person doesn't care, doesn't care at this moment in time.
Not the culture war stuff up may or may not
be important. I think a lot more it's made of it,
you know, online, than than needs to be. And it's

(08:05):
just a it's oh, it's provocative. But when push comes
to shove, that's that. That's the thing you're going to
is boys can't play in girls' sports. Look at that,
I said, Oh, okay, did that did that make your

(08:26):
health insurance cheaper? Did that put food on your table.
Did that help you afford a home? I'm just I'm curious. No,
But he owned the libs all right.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
The academic literature would tell you we were savings. Right,
can name one of two things, the kind of the
Doomer review that you took, or that people have more confidence,
or it could be something else because for instance, stock
market gains or for one K games might not show
up in savings. So they're looking at that. I think

(09:04):
that they can draw down their household savings.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And look, Scott Bessett, he's got to spend this the
best way he knows how to spend it. But that's
that's what you're gonna go with. We know what it is, right,
you could get a feel of what it is, and
we have yet to feel it. And it is frustrating
because it's self inflicted. This nightmare. Absolutely, what do you think?

(09:27):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show? Is your ex your insta
YouTube and all the other things? You know what, a
lot of stuff to talk about today, But I will
tell you this. The two hundred and fifty dollars bill
is ridiculous. If you haven't seen it. They're proposing a
two hundred and fifty dollars bill with Trump's I think

(09:51):
it's the mugshot on it.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
Right now, there is proposed legislation the in front of
the House, in front of the Senate to change the
first requirement so that a living person, Donald J. Trump
could be on the two hundred and fifty dollars built.
So it's all in the hands of the it's all.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Up in Capitol hillth.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
I talked about this last night. Trump wants to enjoy
his legacy while he's trying to build his legacy. Normally,
the legacy is built after everything's said and done, and

(10:35):
people can take a look back and go, Okay, let's
see how this all played itself out. Right, Let's see
how it played itself out. That's what normally happens. That's
not what he wants. He wants the legacy now, he

(10:57):
wants it all now. He wants the van Go legacy.
But to be able to sell his paintings for two
hundred million dollars whatever they sell for. He wants to
be a part of it, right. He wants to enjoy
the legacy. He wants to build the legacy. And there's
a lot of reasons for that there is, and the

(11:20):
biggest one is mortality. Trump sitting around and he's looking
around and his mortality is coming into to play. But
the two hundred and fifty dollars Bill Man, and you
know he really wants to be on Mount Rushmore. No,
he does three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

(11:42):

Chad Benson, Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Even though it's only been four days that we've worked
this week, I think it's safe to say, as we
say it every single Friday, thank God it's finally Friday.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
This Memorial Day.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
We salute them, we exalt them, and we thank them
for all that we have, for all that they gave.

Speaker 7 (13:30):
We owe a debt to the people who went overseas
and gave their lives that the United States might be
prosperous and peaceful and free.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
I'm not one hundred dollars walking me my batifle. I
know how I say. Anybody's burning a hold.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
I through my bargeting and do my skin. Come on
the morning, I'll be brown Friday. I'm free, I'm gone,

It's fine. So you want to just call this today.

Speaker 10 (14:11):
We're here to tell Egene Carol that we are with her,
that we support her, and we will be with her
each and every day.

Speaker 11 (14:17):

the heat. But also we're from Los Angeles, so we're
used to the hot weather.

Speaker 8 (14:24):
It's fine time, I've motor. It's fine.

With Moon Base Artemis, astronauts will stay longer, explore farther,
and conduct the kinds of science that advances exploration itself.

Speaker 13 (14:45):
We have declared this incident a transition from rescue to recovery.
As up this morning, the data we've had, it's been
trending in the in the right direction.

Speaker 14 (15:02):
We need a thirty.

And finally, he's a threat to our very way of
life and our values. I mean he's a vegan who
thinks God.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
Tony told a joke. It wasn't a tasteful joke to us.
We didn't like it. Okay, hey man, that joke. We

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, f that joke three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three At Chad Benson Show. That's your
X inst and YouTube. Appreciate it when you guys check
out the YouTube. It helps us out right here on
the Chad Benson Show. Every once in a while, comedy
will write itself. I'm gonna play you something. Then I'm
gonna tell you the story. But I know the first

(16:20):
thing you're gonna think when you hear it, which is
the same thing I thought.

Speaker 8 (16:23):
You know what.

Speaker 20 (16:23):
It took almost four hours to get that happy ending,
but I promise you there was a There's a great
deal of relief that I that I have right now,
especially when I have that last crew member come off
that ladder and uh, you know we can all go back.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
To the station and go homes. I don't think you
guys are doing it right. That's Galveston Fire Department Chief
Mike Verrella Junior. Because you see there was a and
here's this also goes with the whole happy ending thing.
Pleasure Piers Iron Shark roller coaster. Eight students got stuck
on it for hours and so yeah, yeah, he has

(17:02):
no idea how meme tacular that is going to go.
Zero idea, And I know we shouldn't be childish about it.
That's kind of who we are, right. We take the news,
we have some fun with it. We move on. That's
what we do. Speaking of moving on, Jim Kennedy Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research, going to join the program.

(17:23):
We talk a bit about the mayor's race in la
As he gets closer, I'm going to talk about AI
data centers. And yes, it's Friday, so that means Formula
one Friday as well. We'll do that straight ahead. If
you're missing to the show, we say shame when you
grab the podcast. Jim Kennedy straight ahead, Chad Benson, chob Son,
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's that's how the week. Talk to our good buddy,
Jide Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Ballancing Research, Jim. We
start with the mayor's race in Los Angeles National attention,
Spencer Pratt. Obviously, the fires last year, Karen Bass and
her ineptitude and Los Angeles goes to hell in a handbasket,
and that's happened for quite a while. Tuesday is the
mayor's race, and it's an interesting thing. It's a primary day,

(18:26):
but it's also a day where, I f I'm correct,
the mayor's race could be decided or it could go
on until November. How does it work?

Speaker 21 (18:35):
If somebody happens to get fifty, they will be the mayor.
There will be no runoff in November. It has happened.
Garcetti did it about eight years ago, before Karen Bass
came along going into a second term.

Speaker 22 (18:51):
He didn't have to run again. He was done in June.

Speaker 21 (18:52):
That's over now. If that doesn't happen, the top two
vote getters will move on to a runoff on election
day in November. So at this point it is neck
and neck and neck with the last poll that came
out on Thursday morning had had Ramin at twenty five,
it had Pratt at twenty twenty two, and it had
Bass at twenty six, so they're basically in all of those.

(19:15):
There was like a four point margin of air, so
they are all within the margin of air, so any
one of those could be leading. I don't really think
RAMA is polling that highly because there are, yes, there
are far more Democrats than Republicans in Los Angeles, in
the City of Los Angeles, but a lot of them
are fed up. This is going to be a very
low turnout election. I don't know if they were pulling

(19:37):
likely voters or registered voters, because that's going to make
a difference. I would be surprised that they get much
beyond twenty five to thirty percent turnout in this election
on Tuesday. So that kind of helps Pratt because it
means probably more Democrats won't be voting than Republicans because
Republicans are kind of riled up.

Speaker 22 (19:56):
They've got a new there's a there's a new.

Speaker 21 (19:58):
Woman running the Lago who's really really trying to make
a difference and get the vote out and get Republicans elected,
and she's working really hard at it. So hopefully they're
going to get a better Republican turnout than there is
Democrat turnout, and hopefully Pratt can get into the to
the runoff, probably with Bass. That would kind of be
the way that I would suspect it's going to work
out right now, but you know, again, we're going to

(20:20):
have to see.

Speaker 22 (20:21):
You know, even even if city is large of LA,
it's a little difficult to pull it. You're not going
to get exact numbers on it.

Speaker 21 (20:28):
So yeah, so that's kind of what it looks like
right now is what it's going to be come Tuesday.
But even then, if Pratt does make him the runoff,
he's got a large hill to climb. Again, you're talking
about four times as many Democrats as there are Republicans.

Speaker 22 (20:42):
And then he'll then Bass would pick up all of
the Raman votes. Nathia Rahman, who's a Democratic member of
the city council who kind of you know, is quasidsa
approved but not actually approved type of situation, and there
are four or five DSA Democratic Socials of America, you know,
car carrying members on the La City Council. That's how

(21:02):
bad it is in LA. There are zero Republicans. There
was one non partisan, non no political party declared guy
and he actually got run off for some sort of
a scandal. And the rest are you either Democrats are
Democratic socialists. So yeah, we'll have to see.

Speaker 21 (21:16):
But you know, hopefully this is a turning point for
LA because it can't get much worse. We can't allow
it to get much worse because we are near rock bottom.
But there's still so many people out there that don't
really care and are just going to vote for the
person with the D next of their name that it
doesn't you know, that they just don't really understand the
need for change and until it personally affects, I mean

(21:38):
a lot of them have been personally effected.

Speaker 22 (21:39):
Between the fire and the homeless and the crime and
all of that stuff.

Speaker 21 (21:43):
I think there's a chance finally that there we are
near rock bottom in the city of LA and change
may be coming.

Speaker 22 (21:49):
But I'm not holding my breath.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research, Jim,
we switched from there to AI Data centers. This is
going to be a big deal in the mid terms,
and you're starting to see it now. Places are angry
about data centers going up in their areas. They're fearful
of water issues, they're fearful of their prices going up.

(22:13):
This is a new battlefield that is taking place, and
I think it's going to be a big deal in
the midterms.

Speaker 22 (22:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (22:21):
There.

Speaker 22 (22:21):
I think there's a lot more fear monitoring than there
is actual information about this stuff out there.

Speaker 21 (22:26):
They're gonna be built on in the middle of nowhere.
And actually Elon Musk is working on the whole problem.
He wants to put them in space. He thinks they'd
be better off in space because you'd have unlimited solar
free solar power up there, and because the fact that
space is really really cold, you wouldn't have that much
of an issue cooling them. You'd have to be careful
because obviously, when you're facing the sun you're gonna get
all that, you're gonna get warmth. But if you're able

(22:47):
to deflect it out and to basically rotate them where
they're going to get cooled off they're gonna have, it's
gonna be a lot better for them, and it could
be over time, a lot cheaper for them to put
them into space. Once there's a heavy lift capability with
Elon Starship and all those things. But as far as
the water usege thing, because that's a big thing about
all the water they're using the even currently with the

(23:08):
number of data centers in place, and sure those numbers
are going to are going to increase rapidly and maybe
almost expontentially over five ten years, it doesn't even come
close to what the almond crop in California takes in
or we use this right now, AI data centers use
I don't know, maybe somewhere close to maybe twenty five
billion gallons a year, which sounds like a lot. Almonds

(23:29):
in California are one point six trillion gallons of water
a year. Okay, so it's not even a one percent
equation between that. Now, yes, that's going to go up,
but also the data centers over time will basically figure
out ways to cool themselves better and to make themselves
more efficient. They'll put solar power, you know, on farms

(23:51):
in them or on them to basically generate solar power
so they won't be as much of an effect on
the grid. There's also new nuclear technology coming where they
could build small nuclear pur plants that could almost be
self contained, they could run them on between that and
electrical power. So I think there's a lot of concerns
that will get worked out. I mean, you know, there
were a lot of people that were that were protested,

(24:12):
and I believe it even got pretty violent over the
days when cars started to come in back in the
early nineteen hundreds, about what's going to happen to buggy
whit manufacturers, what's going to happen to people with horseshoes?
You know, are we all going to die because we
went over twenty miles an hour in a car type
of thing. All of the fear things about that, about
the dangers of automobile. Sure, if you don't use them right,
they can be dangerous, but for the most part, they're
a fairly safe method of transportation. So I think I

(24:35):
think there's a lot of you know, feelings of our
facts going out right now on this. I think with
some data, some information, some education, I think a lot
of this will be well. You know, a lot of
these people can can get the confidence that these aren't
going to be the bogeyman that everybody wants them to be.
But they are a popular thing to go after. They've
come up in the California governor's race. They come up
in lots of different political races. I know that you

(24:58):
said AOC and Bernie have talked about them.

Speaker 22 (25:00):
The evils that's.

Speaker 21 (25:01):
Wholly separate from the effects that AI are going to
have on the job market, and that is going to
be something that will be substantial over time. So I've
got friends in tech that are saying that their companies
have been telling them that they want to start cutting
back on some of it because they haven't necessarily seen
in the technology space as far as using it for
technology implement for implications that they're seeing that there. It's

(25:24):
costing them so much in token cost which you use
to spend to you know, to get access to the
AI and then to the cycles of the computers that
generate the answers you ask them that they're not seeing
a lot of value compared to what the costs are
that they're you know that they're coders or coders off
shore offshore could basically code this stuff as as efficiently

(25:45):
and as cheaply right now.

Speaker 11 (25:46):
Now.

Speaker 21 (25:46):
I'm sure costs will drop on AA over time as
there's more data centers, it gets more more propagated out there.
But right now a lot of a lot of them
are kind of you know, putting the pencil to paper
and kind of questioning whether there is a good value.

Speaker 22 (25:57):
There or not.

Speaker 21 (25:58):
And they some of them have asked them to cut
back on their on their usage of it for a
lot of common work, you know, things that are done
in the workplace. Yeah, a lot of that's going to
get automated, and unfortunately that'll be you know that those
will go away. But same things that has happened in
technology time over time, where where people have basically been
laid off and they create the next Cisco, or they
create the next Intel, or they create the next you know,

(26:20):
great company that comes along that you know, that becomes
a ten billion dollar company that hires four thousand people.
So it's just kind of an inerative process about this.
It's you know, it's called destructive capitalism where basically something
gets broken and then you build something else that makes
it that that that gets better and the higher many
more people than were laid off before.

Speaker 9 (26:40):
You know.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
And I was talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Public
Policy Research, and one of the things and there's two
things that I think people are The water thing it's
a bigger deal, say in California with the West, obviously
because of the whole water battles that go on there.
But I understand like the fear factor of I don't

(27:02):
have to buy almonds, but I need power, and if
my power bill is going to go up by twenty
five to thirty percent, you're going to get all the
tax breaks. And on top of that, I got to
hear a hum all the time. And you took my neighbors,
you know, half of my neighbors, you know, land, and
you know, you promise us all this stuff and if

(27:22):
there's a power outage, you get to stay on and
we don't. Those are the issues I think a lot
of people are worried about us coming at times from
the West. Obviously the water thing is a big deal,
but I think it's more than just the the whether
or not it's going to cost a lot with the
water and what's it going to do, because that stuff
will work itself out much quicker because Ai'll figure out

(27:43):
a way to do it.

Speaker 21 (27:44):
Yeah, absolutely, And there's no you know, and you're right
about the West has always been water constrained. You know,
it's limited the growth over the years of the West,
even though it has grown rapidly because of that. There's
been wars over, there's been battles over There've been great
Yellowstone television shows made over water right now and water
usage and stuff like that over the years. And there's
people that specialize in water, you know, water law because

(28:06):
of how pression of a commodity it is in the West.
And absolutely and maybe you know, maybe you put fewer
data centers in the West. They don't need to be
physically proximal to where the users are. They can be
physically proximal anywhere. They can be in the middle of
the Gobi Desert if that works out well or something. So, yeah,
they and the people that are proximant to them, Yeah
they can. Those things will be worked out.

Speaker 22 (28:27):
The noises. Maybe you wind up bearing a lot of
them underground. It's cooler.

Speaker 21 (28:31):
It would be less cost to basically keep them, to
keep them cool because it's you know, like where people
store their wine underground, because it's a constant you know,
fifty six fifty eight sixty degrees down there. It doesn't
get to be one hundred and ten there, So things
like that.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
Over time.

Speaker 21 (28:44):
Sure, I'm sure there'll be problems, they'll get worked out.
I would think for the most part, there'll be some
people that you know, there'll be some people that'll be
abusive with it, and they'll and that's where regulation will
need to come in and make sure that everybody played
fair and doesn't really you know, you don't put out
toxic chemicals or anything like that where you've had problem
with chemical plants in the past or refineries in the path.
And for the most part, those things get worked out,

(29:06):
and then you know, and and then you basically live
happily ever after, and at some point, hopefully you even
forget you're living, you know, next to a data center
that's buried one hundred yards from you. As long as
it's not some sort of aerospace chemical that can leak
and blow up one hundred yards up, you're probably gonna
be okay.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy instead of public policy research,
we talk about politics, talk about pop culture, and we
talk about formula one. Nothing going on this week, but
next week. It's When you think formula one, you think Monica.
Next week it's Monica.

Speaker 21 (29:40):
Yeah, And like I said, it's a crown jewel. It's
the one where you bring all the sponsors to you
got all the cool parties. Red Bull Racing has a
barge they toe in that is their hospitality center for
the week, and it's got a pool, it's got you know,
tons of room for their sponsors. And yeah, it is
the race where it is a race where you signed
the d you bring the people, you know, you basically

(30:03):
shake the hands, you show everybody around.

Speaker 22 (30:05):
It's expensive, it's.

Speaker 21 (30:07):
Hard to get into because basically the race shuts the
entire city down. Monico's not a large plates. The roads
that they run on are the majority of the roads
that go they go. I believe it is east and
west within Monaco. So in fact, there was a great picture.
I believe it was a Charles Leclerk last year who
lives in Monaco. He's Monogasque and was going home and

(30:27):
he was going home on a scooter. He wasn't driving
a Ferrari home because of the race barriers and not
all have been taken down. And the best way for
him to get where he lives in Monaco to the
racetrack and to the Ferrari facility was on a scooter,
a you know, not in a six hundred thousand dollars
Ferrari's you know supercar. So it's very interesting to get
around that race. It's very expensive to go to. I

(30:49):
would love to try it one time. I've never been there,
but yeah, it is a great race. Last week we
were they were in Montreal. It was fifty two degrees
at race time, was kind of drizzling. Tem McClaren made
some very poor choices and costs their guys the race.
But you've got the continuation of the teenage phenom. Kimmy
Antonelli won his fourth race in a row, first time

(31:10):
any driver has won their first race and gone on
to win three more for four in a row in
f one history. He's leading the world title at nineteen
and this could be again. This could be an historic
thing that comes along with him if you can hang
on and win the world title. Now there are still
the season because of the war in Iran basically cost

(31:30):
them two races, one in one in Bahrain and one
in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia race may get rescheduled later
in the year, but it's cost them two races, and
then they had a gap in there between the race
in Montreal or the race in Montreal and the race
in Miami for various reasons. And so far we've only
gone through five races out of a proposed twenty four

(31:52):
race season, probably twenty two race maybe twenty three race season.
So the back end we still got majority of the race.
We've got seven five percent of this season still to go.
But the see Kement Kimmy Antonelli lead right now, it's
just fantastic and I'll have to see now that again.
In Europe, the European the TRUEFF one, I mean all
the teams are are are headquartered in Europe, most in England,

(32:14):
some in Germany, some in Switzerland, some in Italy for Ferrari.
So the European season, when they have the races, they're
about fifteen twelve to fifteen races in Europe proper every year.
That's like the real heart of the season. That's when
at a lot of the Europeans, where the majority of
the fans are, think that the season traditionally starts when

(32:34):
they get to Europe, to the European races, whether it
be Spain and this year it's going to be Monaco
will be that first race. So for a lot of teams,
they think this is the start because they can drive
to races, they don't have to fly to races necessarily.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's going to be interesting. Man to the fact that
a nineteen year old an eighteen year old is the
best soccer player in the world and a nineteen year
old's the best Formula one driver is just crazy. Jim Kennedy,
Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. We'll be talking to
you Monday, obviously midterm Mondays. Brother, you have a good
one and that safe weekend, thanks Jed. Relief factor incredible.

Say it's America's Birthday Celebration two fifty, and they're gonna
have a big, giant celebration and it's gonna be huge,
and there's gonna be all kinds of stars coming to sing,
and it's gonna be amazing, and nobody wants.

Speaker 9 (34:37):
To do it.

Speaker 24 (34:41):
The Commodores and now Martina McBride, Freedom or among at
least four musical acts pulling out of a concert series
being held on the National Mall beginning next month. The
concerts are being run by Freedom two fifty, a group
launched by President Trump to organize the nation's birthday FESTI.
The group claims to be non partisan, but some artists

(35:03):
say they were not aware. Freedom two fifty was founded
by the president Martina McBride, saying I was presented with
an opportunity to perform at a non partisan event, but
that turned out to be misleading.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, do you want to know how bad it is
Milli Vanilly, of which they weren't real And I think
Milli and or Vanilly is not around anymore. They've pulled out.
You know it's bad when Milli Vanilly doesn't want to
do something. Talk a little bit more about this later
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three

(35:37):
at Chad Benson Schell your exs your instant right here
on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, hour number two
of the program, we're going to talk about the World Cup. Yeah,
a weird lawsuit going on satire based on a name.
We will discuss that. On top of that, we're also
going to discuss Disclosure Day. Spielbridg's new movies coming out.

(36:01):
Some of the reviews have leaked out on how good
it is.

Speaker 22 (36:05):
But is this.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
The world's way of finding out there are aliens? Because
we have to do it via entertainment to I don't
know soften the blow. We'll discuss that a bunch of
other good stuff on the way as well. If you
miss it to the show, make sure you grab that podcast.
Our number two straight Ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
If you guys didn't see it, it was riveting. It
was a amazing. It was one of the most incredible
things you could see the script spelling b final. Of course,
what did you think I was talking about? Good God,
So it was very interesting. I've never seen this before.

(37:17):
It went to a spell off. What yes, spell off?
So think about like if you watch soccer or you
watch hockey, goes into overtime whatever, they can't decide it,
it's got to go to penalties or the penalty shot,
whatever it is. It went to a spell off where
they just feed you words and you try to spell
as fast as you.

Speaker 25 (37:36):
Can terror glynn t r A g ion home lynn
h y e l I n chicken I k u
n g n y A bromo cryptine v.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
R almost c r ib t i e c s
a j A W. All right, so there it is
spell off cose fast you can right, you got x
amount of what I think it's is it two minutes
or whatever? Well, you spell as many words as you
can and they just keep feeding you the words, right
like crypto bro mind whatever the hell they just said.

(38:09):
It's ninety seconds. So and it was between a fourteen
year old and the twelve year old. The twelve year
old Ishan Koopta, New Jersey, the fourteen year old Shrey
Perakin from Rancho Cucamanca, California. The winner is Shrey.

Speaker 25 (38:34):
During the spell off, you correctly spelled a total of
thirty two words. N you correctly spelled a total of
twenty five words.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
And that means that Shrey, you are the two.

Speaker 9 (38:55):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Now what's very interesting about all of this? Do you
not understand that? I was surprised. I thought, oh, what
do they get? Like they get like a you know,
Webster's dictionary and five thousand dollars for college. No, old
Shrey there is getting fifty thousand dollars directly from scripts.

(39:17):
On top of that, dudes getting twenty five hundred dollars
cash prize for Mirriam Webster, so total cash price fifty
two thousand, five hundred also gets a trophy. On top
of that, gets a medal. On top of that, one
hundreds of dollars in reference works, including a seventeen sixty

(39:39):
eight Encyclopedia Britannica. Replica set a three year membership to
Britannica Online premium eight thousand dollars in flight credits from
Delta Airlines. Second place gets twenty five thousand dollars. Third
gets fifteen thousand dollars.

Speaker 22 (39:59):
Are you.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Kidding me? I just thought you got a trophy and
you gotta go. I gotta go to wherever this time
it's in DC. Hey, yay for us. That is nuts.
That is I was surprised they give him straight cash.

Speaker 6 (40:17):
Cole.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
I just roll it out to his cash, baby, deal
with what do you want with it? All right? Just
rocket have fun with it. Meanwhile, back here in the
real world, we don't have a deal, but we kind
of have a deal, but we don't have a deal.
When it comes to Iran, no deal, maybe a deal deal,
no deal kind of could be, you don't know, maybe geez.

(40:42):
So what's the latest. Here's the latest. No matter what
happens with us in Iran, no matter what takes place
between us and Iran, Israel is going to have a
set so what are they doing pushing in further and

(41:03):
further into Lebanon and taking over more of Gaza. Net Yah,
who ordered his army to take seventy percent of Gaza.
Top of that, Israeli bombs hit ancient sights in southern Lebanon.
That is a serious issue because let's just say that somehow,

(41:28):
some way, Trump goes, it's the greatest deal. We've got
a deal. It's never been a deal like this. Nobody
ever tried to work with the Iranians before, nobody ever,
did you know, Okay, he kind of said that the
other day. We're like, okay, So let's just say, for
the sake of argument, they get a deal, the greatest
deal of all time, best deal, never seen a deal.
It's so deally, it's just been ideal, is kind of

(41:51):
what we're saying. So they go and they get some
sort of deal done. And net Yah, who says, no,
we don't like that deal. Does Trump have the cohones
enough to say, now, sorry, that isn't gonna happen. Bbe,

(42:14):
if you think we're not going to do the deal
because you and Ben Gavere and and you're just lunacy,
are going to scuttle the deal because you don't want it,
because you think somehow this is going to destroy Israel. Well,

(42:39):
we can't do this anymore. Does Trump have the cohones
enough to do that. I don't know. I have no idea.
I would like to think he does, but it remains
to be seen. So this is going to be very
This is gonna be interesting to see. So the deal

(43:01):
is no deal, but it's kind of a deal, but
it's not really a deal. But it could be a deal,
but it might not be a deal. And there's a
deal in place that both of them are okay with.
And this is from what I understand. Remember how much
of this stuff you can believe, because by the time
this segment may and they may have changed the deal,

(43:22):
like four times. Supposedly, in theory.

Speaker 22 (43:29):
Both.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
US and Iran agree to get the waterways open, no
more blockade, no more tolls. Then the war would stop immediately,
even though we're still bombing each other, but it would
stop immediately. Then the conversation would begin about sanctions and

(44:04):
lifting them, freeing up some of their money, what they
would do with the nuclear material and giving that up,
and three hundred million dollars almost immediately in humanitarian aid

(44:26):
and some sort of payment for what took place during
the war, the deaths, things of that nature. That is
where it's at now. But Iran has made it known
they're not giving up their nuclear ambition when it comes

(44:49):
to being able to go and enrich, even for peaceful purposes,
they're not going to do it. So even if they
gave us that the uranium, does it mean that what
if they say, we're still going to be able to
enrich until you know, for peaceful purposes, And Natiyah says no,
I mean, that's that's that's the issue that we should

(45:11):
be talking about on top of everything else, not just
whether or not it is about just because we keep
thinking it's only about Trump and the Iranians and that's
not true. There's another there's another puzzle piece in this

(45:32):
And if you bring it up, people like you're anti Semitic.
You're like, Okay, I'm not what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna sit here and argue with you at this
point in time because you're gonna believe that through and through,
because you because we are no longer allowed to have
a conversation about another country's government. One particular country without

(45:56):
getting hammered for it, which is asinine. It is in fact,
and you guys can always text a show. I love
it when you guys do three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your action your insta forty five sixty two text. In
my humble opinion Israel's more of a family friend. That's

(46:18):
kind of a degenerate, you know, than an ally and
the next generation should drop that family friend that grandpa
put up with because they grew up together. That is
I understand why people feel that way.

Speaker 22 (46:37):
I do.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I understand why people feel the way they do when
it comes to what they see going on that a
younger generation, in particular Millennials and Gen Z and Alpha
are looking around, go why are we involved in this?
Why are we doing this? Why are you putting up

(46:59):
with this? What is going on here? Because we feel
like you guys are making decisions that we have to
pay for and we have no say in this. And
I'm telling you guys right now, sometimes people need not
what they want to hear. They need to be told

(47:22):
what they need to hear. And what needs to be
done is we need to have an honest conversation where
they don't push back in such a way which I
don't think we could do, and we say, if you
care about the future and you want America to be
a part of your future as allies, the way we've

(47:47):
gone about doing things isn't going to work anymore. So
how do you fix that? But I don't think they care.
I don't. I think this is what they're looking at.
I think they're going to do what they want to do,
and I think this is an issue that is landing
at our feet and it's about to, I think potentially

(48:09):
become even weirder if we come up with some sort
of deal that they don't like and they decide that
we have to go back in there again, and then
what happens three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is your
extra instant. All the other good things coming up, weird
legal stuff before that, though, Omaha steaks Father's Day. You

(48:31):
know what dad wants for Father's Day? Not to tie that.
I know because I'm a dad and I don't want
to tie. You know what I want Omaha steaks. So
I get a great deal going on now, a huge,
say huge in some cases, way bigger than fifty percent
off the Burger Perfection pack, way bigger than fifty percent off,

(48:52):
Flaming Nimburgers, Pure Ground, Ribbi Burgers, Brisket Burgers, certainly Burgers
right now, and you're gonna save thirty five dollars off
at checkout. It's huge. A lot of this stuff is
more than fifty percent off. And it's all for Dad,
because Dad wants to grill and Dad wants to spend
time with you. So it's not only just about Dad
gets to do something where he gets to make memories.

(49:14):
And that's what it's all about. And if you're gonna
make memories, you might as well do with the best
meat around and that's Omaha Steaks. So right, I'll take
advantage of the amazing, incredible Omaha Steaks Father's Day sale
going on right now. Save it extra thirty five dollars

Benson terms apply see side for details. Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Now it's time for weird things in the law like
Patty Gonya. Oh, what's the that's a drag queen who
is an environmentalist climate activist and is being sued by Patagonia.

(50:12):
You see what happened there. Patigonia is being sued by Patagonia.

Speaker 22 (50:15):
Hi.

Speaker 26 (50:16):
Everyone, it's Patagonia today. I'm breaking my silence about the
lawsuit that the multi billion dollar corporation Patagonia has filed
against me, a drag queen and climate activist, for trademark infringement.
Patagonia told the media they're only suing me for a dollar.
What they're actually trying to do is to take away
my name permanently and threaten me with more than one

(50:37):
million dollars in legal fees. This is not a brand conflict.
This is a corporation trying to erase an activist. And
this is how corporations bully individuals who cannot match their resources,
because this would take away not only my activism in
my career, but also the livelihoods of the team I employ.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Okay, So Patti Gonia is being sued by Padaia. So
one of them makes clothes and outdoors stuff, and it's
PATAGONI has been doing this four years, eight years raised
some three million dollars for climate activism. It got serious though,
because Paddygonia wanted to trademark Pattygonia.

Speaker 27 (51:19):
Is when this began to escalate when Patty actually followed
a trademark in order to do merchandizing. Once you commercialize
your activism, once you commercialize your parody, that's when the
subject of trademark answerc of property comes into question. And
does that create brand confusion?

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Yes? No, maybe, I don't know how it. I'm gonna
be honest, I don't know how it creates brand confusion
when I know one of you makes coats and the
other one is a drag queen. Went to the store
put on a drag queen. It was so weird. So

(51:56):
they're suing for a dollar and then legal fees, which
will cost a ton. Obviously, Patty Gonya is going to
have to figure out who's doing pro bona work. I'm
sure there's plenty of people out there, but you tried
to trademark something. They didn't seem to be bothered when

(52:17):
you didn't. And it's the David and Goliath thing. What
do you think? Let us know right here on the
Chat Benson Show also Patty Gonia thinks the climate is
right for Patagonia to sue because of all the you know,

(52:40):
essentially the lgbt Q plus two iab CDFG bashing that
is going on, and feels the political climate is right
for them to sue. We moved from there to the
ticket that's been tossed out. I'm sure if you've been
on the internet the last few days, you saw that
there was a young lady, was it Katie Thomps anything

(53:01):
her name is, who was driving in Florida when the
cops pull over. We saw you texting. We saw you
using your right hand holding the phone, which is weird
because she doesn't have a right hand.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
And you drove past me holding the phone with your
right hand, and you laid in that phone.

Speaker 9 (53:21):
So you want to just call this a day.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
I don't want to call it. You had a hand
on money, I thought I saw you, did you?

Speaker 9 (53:32):
Did you?

Speaker 2 (53:34):
You did not have hands to God, You didn't have
onney in hand to God. And then she holds up
her nub. I guess she would call it so you
should call my grandmother. She had amputated below her knee
and we just called her nup. So she holds it
up and she's like, hand to God, I did not
do that. Here's the good news. This went a little
bit viral and they decided, yeah, we're done with this.

Speaker 9 (53:55):
So we had court this morning and.

Speaker 6 (53:58):
Dismissed.

Speaker 9 (53:59):
I cannot make up the reason behind why I was dismissed.
It says lack of evidence.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Yeah, I would say lack of evidence is a big reason.
Coming up. World Cup thirteen days away, two weeks from
the day the US starts its campaign. We talk about
it straight ahead, Chad Benson Show, The Chad.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
I'm beyond excited. It is getting so close. Thirteen days
so the kickoff of the World Cup two weeks from today.
The US gets itself going. It's the world's biggest sporting
event and it's coming to America. It's time to talk.
Would come.

Speaker 6 (55:07):
How about that La Perera?

Speaker 2 (55:13):
What are the rights sharia right across too? We haven't
been able to control the play in midfield? Why that
Maratona has been able to do They's hard to be able.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
To do.

Speaker 22 (55:31):
So all them.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Montiel can win the World Cup for Urgentina with this kick. Yes,
I am beyond pumped and excited as we get closer
and closer to kickoff of the World Top Baby. Now
we're going to get into the other groups as we
get you caught up on all the things going on

(55:52):
the World Cup.

Speaker 28 (55:52):
Wisetall.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
There are still some issues out there with the ticketing,
and it's the cost. I was even talking to my
buddy last night, who he and I went to every
game in Los Angeles outside of the final in ninety four,
and we had tickets to go to the final, but
it was we had a game later that day, it
was exhausting and hot, and we're like, let's watch it

(56:15):
on television, you know, because we've been to every game
and quite frankly, that wasn't a great game to go to.
But the tickets across the board are so expensive. We
touched on it yesterday with our buddy Eric out there
in Dallas. As we talked about it, and here's the thing,

(56:37):
I got a couple other friends, obviously, being in the
industry that I had been in for years, playing soccer
the way that I had for years, there is no
doubt that there are still some serious issues with the ticketing.
But the difference between you know, there was always ticket
scalpers and people you could go to back in the day,

(56:57):
but it's different now. And one of the things that's
going on is there investigating FIFA. Like, what the hell's
going on?

Speaker 22 (57:05):
Right?

Speaker 2 (57:06):
I mean, come on, let's we're going to investigate you.
We thought this was going to be affordable.

Speaker 19 (57:11):
It's supply and demand, that's simple. You've got a very
small supply and you've got extraordinary demand for the World Cup,
the world's most popular sport once every four years. The
stadiums only hold about eighty thousand.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
And you're thinking, okay, eighty thousand, that's pretty good. But
remember when they announced the tickets and everything went on sale,
the amount of people applying for tickets was in the
hundreds of millions. Oh that's a lot.

Speaker 19 (57:42):
You've got dynamic pricing in use, meaning that the old
system of a ticket is put out on the market
at face value and then somebody buys it and puts
it on a secondary market. Well, dynamic pricing means that
now the algorithm recognizes immediately what the demand is, and
if you've got tens of thousands of people trying to
get the same ticket, the algorithm is going to recognize

(58:04):
that and jack that price up immediately.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Which is what we do. And they're going to pull
FIFA in. They want they speen him, they want to,
you know, have this conversation about what the hell's going on?
How did you wait?

Speaker 9 (58:17):
What? You know?

Speaker 2 (58:19):
I thought this was supposed to be affordable. What's had
it's dynamic pricing. You don't think it's going to be
that way for everything.

Speaker 19 (58:28):
Of course it is FIFA's president, Johnny and Fantino, when
he tried to defend what's going on with FIFA tickets said, hey,
this is simply the way the American system works. The
same amount of money is probably going to be spent
on these tickets, whether it's through secondary markets or whether
it's through the teams, the leagues themselves selling through dynamic pricing,

(58:49):
it's going to be met by demand. Now, the argument
for it is that, well, when demand drops, the price drops.
It's the same reason you can go see the Mets
tonight for twelve dollars.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
And that's important because the Knicks are in the NBA Championship.
Ticket prices on the floor one hundred thousand plus. Get
ready for this. Stub Hub just sold a pair of

(59:18):
court side seats two hundred and seventy nine thousand. If
you want to sit next to the Lord in the
nosebleed easy twenty five hundred to three grand. So it's

(59:40):
not just the World Cup that this has a has
an effect on. We recognize that. And I'm going to
a couple games and and here, and as I was saying,
I was talking to my friend who has worked for
the you know, the US national team, the like committee
that's handling all this stuff. He says, if do you
think stuff's expensive at this moment in time, wait till

(01:00:04):
you get to the knockout rounds and you start to
see massive teams face off against one another, teams that
may have a chance to really win it. You know
where you may see Argentina to take on you know,
the Netherlands. All of a sudden, those tickets are going

(01:00:25):
to go through the roof. And England's a perfect example.
The further they go, the cost of those tickets will
be outrageous. I was honestly, if they got to the finals,
and I don't think Englands can get deviles, but if
they got to the finals, there will be tickets that

(01:00:45):
will go for seven figures for tickets, not a box,
but tickets there will be so, but you're getting the
same thing. People are spending how much money to go
see the Knicks? When you break it down, I mean
nobody wants to see the Mets. At this point, you'd
have to pay people to go see the Mets. You

(01:01:08):
have to pay them. You may have to kidnap them.
That may be something you have to do. All right,
let's talk about the games themselves. On the field. What
do we got. We're looking at Group E and Group
F today. Group E interesting. You got Germany, always interesting.
Germany is sink or swim. They're either gonna get knocked

(01:01:29):
out in the group stage or flail in the first
knockout round game, or they're gonna win it all.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
And this team.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
They're good, but are they great now? I don't think so.
Then in their group they've got Ecuador Ivory Coast, always
interesting and the most interesting team maybe of all or
at least one of them. Kuras Ol, tiny little bit
not known for but they're obviously they're they're being a

(01:02:03):
powerhouse in soccer. But they've got an incredible manager, Dick Advocat,
a Dutchman who and I saw them training the other
day and it's funny because remember a lot of these teams,
their players come from all over the world. You know,
their mother, their father, their grandmother, somebody, you know. Very
few of them were born there and so there's like Dutch, French,

(01:02:25):
English speakers. So he just spoke English in the training.
But they've got a decent team. They're going to be interesting.
They're athletic, they're fast, and I think they they may
be a bit of the surprise of this tournament. Also,
we moved to Group F, so in Group B, I

(01:02:46):
predict Germany, Kerasau and Ivory Coast go through. Now we
move to Group F. Group F has Tunisia in it.
We'll see Japan always in interesting. But then you've got
the Swedish team, which is very interesting, and the Dutch.

(01:03:09):
The Dutch Netherlands. Now, if you don't know anything about
the Netherlands, they wear bright orange. They are the party
of the tournament in many cases. And I want you
guys to get used to this song that you're going
to be hearing a lot of. And it's infectious and

(01:03:32):
it's basically called left right Sounds weird. It's a party song,
it's a party anthem that they and you're gonna see
in parts of this country where the Dutch are playing,
fifty thousand people dressed in orange doing this dance left right.
This is their kickoff song from the same group that
did it. I not even try to pretend to pronounce
the name, but it's funny because he sang in English

(01:03:54):
and then you get to hear the song itself.

Speaker 28 (01:03:58):
In your wid Mexico. We ad.

Speaker 22 (01:04:36):
So be prepared for that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
That's gonna be everywhere. They're a pretty decent team. They are.
They're Argua believe. I wouldn't even say argument. They probably
are the best country never to win the World Cup.
They've been in finals, but they've never won the World Cup.
I don't think it's gonna be their time, but it'll
be fun to watch, There's no doubt about that. So

(01:05:00):
in their group, who do I see getting out of
said group? Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia. I think the Netherlands
gets out of the group. I think Sweden gets out
of the group, and I think Tunisia gets out of
the group. What Yeah, That's what I'm gonna go with.

(01:05:22):
So fun, I'm getting pumped, I'm getting excited, and my
wallet felt it. No doubt about that. Oh, Lord. I
can't wait because we were getting pumped for the World
Cup because we're going, as I told you guys, So
it's ecuse me, my son and my producer and my
buddy across the street, Adise, and we're going, and we're

(01:05:43):
so excited because we're going to support the Democratic Republic
of the Congo. We're going to the game to see
them play Uzbekistan, and we're gonna have church. We're doing
the whole thing because we're gonna support them because we
know their players can't get here because I mean, the
players are coming, but they're fans not so much because
of the ebolavirus. So I'm pumped about it. But those

(01:06:05):
tickets were expensive too, so modern world capitalism, when given
the opportunity, people are going to make what they can.

Speaker 22 (01:06:19):
And so we.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):

Speaker 23 (01:08:42):
Show, Running with Scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Say, now it's time to get to one of our
fun segments where we go over an urban word of
the day a day, daily thing that we do that
impacts our lives because we're learning what the youth of
America are saying, and sometimes, as I found out, they

(01:09:16):
say stuff about us that they think we don't know.
That's why we need to learn these things. Plus, it's
always nice to be able to embarrass your kids, your grandkids,
maybe even your coworkers.

Speaker 29 (01:09:28):
Shall we short, now it's time for the urban word
of the day. The young have a vocabulary all their own,
and we break it down for you. It's called the
urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
Alrighty, alrighty, alrighty. So your urban word of the day.
Gruzz grugs. This is a derogatory or humorous term used
to specifically to embarrass or laugh with an older person.

(01:10:05):
Oh oh yeah. I found that out because Charlie's like, ah,
you're such a cruz. And I was like, because I
keep I will do words, I'll say stuff and I
know it drives are crazy and that makes me laugh.
And she goes, Dad, don't be such a gruzz. I'm like, okay,

(01:10:26):
So now you guys know, if you hear the word gruz,
and if a coworker sing it to you, you may
be in a situation where they're not being kind. If
it's somebody you know, a younger person. They may be
just giving you a little affectionate laughter if you will.
Gruzz is your urban word of the day. That was
the urban word of the day, now, you know, Southwest

(01:10:47):
that didn't last long.

Speaker 30 (01:10:48):
Southwest Airlines is changing its new seating policy for plus
sized passengers, just four months after it took effect. Plus
sized passengers will no longer be required to buy an
extra seat in advance. After some passengers complain a feeling
ostracized for their weight. Southwest says it's agents can now
offer an additional seat at no extra cost. If space
is not available, they'll work to accommodate the passenger on

(01:11:09):
a leader flight.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Oh so it sounds like we're not gonna charge you
for the seat, but if you don't fit in the seat,
you can either a buy another seat, okay, or or

(01:11:31):
we can gift you another seat on the next flight
where there's more room. So that's how they're going about that.
And we said, I don't know how they're gonna do this.
They're just gonna do like they do now at the
amusement parks where they put the seats out in front
of the rides and you have to sit in it
and if you can't get the belt on or whatever.

(01:11:53):
I don't know how they're doing it. Do they weigh
you and then they yell out the weight? I don't know,
but south West is like, we better figure this out
because I don't think people like us right now. It's
not your fault. You're just doing what you had to
do in your mind. What do you think? Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.

(01:12:13):
It is your extra Insta, your YouTube and all the
other good stuff right here in the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up our number three last hour of the week,
short week.

Speaker 22 (01:12:24):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
A lot of stuff still to get to a little
bit about Iran. More on the controversy over the concert
that may not happen the way that Trump and everybody
wants it to happen to celebrate the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of our country. Yeah, may may not go
off the way that Trump thinks. We'll talk about that.
The latest on Iran are we aren't, we will, we won't,

(01:12:47):
we should? We have we That's kind of the whole
talk with the ceasefire. Plus we got finally Friday sound
or abuty Jim Kennedy from the Kennedy Institute of poly
Policy Research going to join us talk about formula one,
among other things. All that so much more, straight ahead
Hour number three, Champions Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
The controversy is going to be huge. What am I
talking about, you say, Millie Vanilli, No, not that controversy.
They're not going to perform, along with several others at
America's two hundred and fiftieth Birthday celebration.

Speaker 24 (01:14:00):
The Commodores and now Martina McBride let Freedom or among
at least four musical acts pulling out of a concert
series being held in the National Mall beginning next month.
The concerts are being run by Freedom two fifty, a
group launched by President Trump to organize the nation's birthday festivities.
The group claims to be non partisan, but some artists

(01:14:23):
say they were not aware Freedom two fifty was founded
by the President, Martina McBride saying I was presented with
an opportunity to perform at a non partisan event, but
that turned out to be misleading.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Millie Vanilli, it's you know what it is. It's you
can't even get people to show up at this, and
the controversy is going to be how evil they are,
how bad they are. That's the way the Right's going
to come at it. Uh. Do I understand why some
people don't want to perform?

Speaker 22 (01:14:55):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Do I think it's misguided? I think in some ways
it is. Will they will the right make a way
bigger thing out of it than they should. Yeah, this
should be about America. The problem is we're this isn't
going to be just a celebration about America. I understand.
I think a lot of people do. My god, they're
trying to put Trump on the two hundred and fifty

(01:15:17):
dollars bill, So you know, I mean, I don't know
what else to say. I mean at that point in time,
but this controversy is gonna grow. So let me tell
you who was supposed to be rocking and rolling here. Okay,
let's get to it. Uh, First, it was supposed to

(01:15:37):
be Martina McBride. I mean, it feels like this is
a fair, like when you get the summer fair thing,
like who's going to be playing? You're like, oh whoa
Uh Martina McBride, she's a no young mc is a
no see and see Music Factory is not thrilled by it,
but they are a yes.

Speaker 22 (01:15:59):
So far.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
Vanilla Ice is a yes. And we've heard Vanilla say, look,
I like to perform, and I I'll give a rats
ask what anybody else says? Politics, this, that and the
other just want to show up dom my thing, okay,
And and he's he's he takes the Michael Jordan approach,
which is, yeah, you know what even Republicans by shoes two,

(01:16:22):
even you know, the even liberals by you know music
that they just that's the way I think he looks
at it, flow Rider. Those are the ones that we
know are performing right now.

Speaker 18 (01:16:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
I'm sure kid Rock will show up at some point
in time, and there's gotta be a lead greenwood siding.
But this is who is supposed to right now. We're
going to be the feature performers. Who is out Young MC,
the Commodores more stay in the Time. Which was a
shocker because I didn't know, and not trying to be mean, Mores,

(01:17:01):
I didn't know you were still alive. Sounds horrible, but
it's true. Brett Michaels pulled out and Millie Vanilly and
you're saying, Chad, can't they get someone else to lip sync, No,
because Rob's still there and he wants to lip sync.
Or is it fab Is it fab?

Speaker 22 (01:17:23):
Is it rot?

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
Which one's Oh, it's fab fat and he owns the
music now, So be prepared for the chaos that is
going to be whatever this is. And I don't want it.
I want it to be a celebration of America. You know,
our birthday, the whole nine years. And it's hard for
us because everything now is seen through the lens of

(01:17:48):
division and owning the other side, owning the other side,
that's all that matters. He was talking about last hour,
this guy and I got into it yesterday, and by
got into it, I was having a conversation with him
and about my frustration with that we're in this thing

(01:18:09):
that we don't need to be in. Look, I give
you every say, we'll look at Trump fixed the border.
Trump fixed the border in the last time he was president.
We people forget that. And then because they couldn't codify it,
they undid it because it was an executive order. But

(01:18:30):
you guys forget how close they were to having a
deal prior to the election that Trump scuttled. When it
came to the deal on immigration. Trump wanted no part
of that, right, he'd want to give the Democrats a win.
But then I go back and say, Trump, also, do

(01:18:51):
you guys remember and I don't think people remember. Trump
was close to fixing the amnesty situation and stuff with
the dreamers, Daka and Nancy and Chuck. We're gonna get
something they wanted. He was gonna give them something, you know,

(01:19:12):
he was gonna get something he wanted, and they were
kind of each kind of give in on something. And
then what happened. Nancy and Chuck said, now we can't
do that. We can't be seen doing this.

Speaker 22 (01:19:23):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
So it's it's crazy that we're in this position where
everything has become so divisive. But even from the time
he was president the first time, it is much different now.
And so as I'm arguing with this guy, yes I'm
arguing Ken, that's not even it because we're texting back
and forth. But he's sending me like paragraphs of his

(01:19:46):
belief at the end of the day, what did he
say that, you know, because he would come with something
and I'm like, yeah, look, I again, I can say great,
great on the border that you you undid and reput
in some of you did. I said, outside of that,
there's been a lot of promises that were made and

(01:20:10):
at best they were half kept, and a vast majority
of them we're completely ignored. And then his big well,
he keeps boys out of girls' sports. And I'm like,
cultural issues because that's what matters. I'm not saying cultural
issues can't play a role, and that they do matter.

(01:20:32):
I've said, all things being an equal, I'm gonna choose
the sign of the side of sanity that Big said,
you know, trans LGBTQ DEI worry about what's in this book.

(01:20:53):
In certain areas. Isn't inflation, which is what we're staring
at right now, that sucks. It isn't a situation where
we see ourselves seeing gas prices go up and health
insurance continue to be an issue. There's no fix on
the actual immigration problem. You fix the border. Immigration is

(01:21:15):
a whole other world. All of those things are real issues.
You did the one big beautiful bill. All it did
was give your buddies billions of dollars in tax cuts.
You threw everybody crumbs, and we got ourselves more in debt. So, yeah,

(01:21:36):
there was a lot of issues. But if owning the
libs is the only thing you care about. Sorry, And
that's I'm telling you guys. With the two fifty, everybody,
they're gonna come after everybody. I am excited though, that
flow Right is going to be there because flow Rider
is my favorite. He's my absolute favorite. I love flow Rider,
So I'm pumped for flow Rider being there. But if

(01:22:01):
it becomes one of those things, I understand why people
don't want to do it. If I want to go
to a place and I'm like, I don't want to
be political, I just don't. I don't want to be politics,
and you go and it becomes divisive and political, and
then you're like, I don't want any part of this.
And that's like because you hate America.

Speaker 28 (01:22:15):
It's it's so stupid it is.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
I mean, my god, what is Milli Vanilli doing now?
I mean nothing. This could have been the biggest audience
they've seen in forever. They were the one that's still
left because you know, it's horrible what happened to Rob.
But if Millie Vanilli's like nah, you gotta think oh

(01:22:44):
oh uh oh, and it's free and it's a you know,
it's it's what ten or twelve days of partying on
the mall and you know, celebrating America. And I'm interested
to see what the crowd side is because that prayer
thing I did a couple of weeks ago did not,
I think, pan out the way they thought it was
going to. And when it comes to this, this will

(01:23:09):
be interesting to see how many people show up at this.
I mean I would have gone just to see Millie Vanilli,
would you know? I would not. Although for those of
you guys don't know the story of Millie Vanilly, it
is not a story that is unfamiliar with the guy
who produced the band, because the guy who produced the

(01:23:32):
band and the guy who ran the band, he also
ran Bonie M. And for those of you guys don't know,
Bonie M also happened to be a band where he
did all of the singing, but he replaced everybody with
some backup singers. And this guy and it's crazy and

(01:23:57):
his name is well, Frank Arian, so it's not the
first time. He died a couple of years ago. But
he did the same thing with Bonie M in the
in the seventies, which is hilarious. But Millie Villaity got caught.
They got caught three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chet Benson Show. He's your ex,

(01:24:18):
your instant, all the other things. Iran. By the way,
it's just a quick snapshot deal, no deal, maybe deal,
kind of deal. We've agreed on something in principle. What
that looks like. I don't think anybody really knows. We'll
find out in the coming days. I'm sure there's going
to be some some some bombing back and forth, some accusations.

(01:24:40):
I would like to think it's getting over sooner around
the later, but with it being extended potentially thirty to
sixty days, there's always going to be some nervousness.

Speaker 26 (01:24:50):
In this.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
And it only takes one situation to go sideways for
I think it's to unravel, and I hope it doesn't.
I hope we get it done quick. But we'll see.
We we'll see coming up little what's trending straight ahead?
But first, AMAC Association Mature American Citizens is doing something cool,
speaking of patriots and whatnot. And I think you guys

(01:25:11):
will find this interesting. So if you're in New York,
they're doing something there. It's a boot camp, all right,
boot camp for patriots called Saving the Nation boot Camp
for Patriots. It's two day event taking place on the
nineteen twentieth in New York at the American First Warehouse

three eight twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your

(01:29:02):
ex your Insta, your YouTube and all the other good
things right here in the Chad Benson Show. Brett Michaels,
Millie Vanilli, there's a reason for that two hundred and
fifty dollars bill again, very hilarious in a weird way.
Spencer Pratt, Vanilla, Ice, Pete, Hegseth, all things trending in

(01:29:26):
the magical world of x So the Great American State
Fair Thingyma bober, it's it's American Freedom two fifty. All
these artists are supposed to be there. It's a celebration
of America. And so they bring all these artists that
are gonna be performing in this thing, and it's gonna
be huge, and it's gonna be big, and it's gonna

(01:29:48):
be not what you think it is because yeah, nobody
wants to do it because politics and some people aren't
I'm gonna tell yous aren't fans of Trump?

Speaker 24 (01:30:01):
The Commodores, and now Martina McBride or among at least
four musical acts pulling out of a concert series being
held on the National Mall beginning next month. The concerts
are being run by Freedom two fifty, a group launched
by President Trump to organize the nation's birthday festivities. The
group claims to be non partisan, but some artists say

(01:30:23):
they were not aware. Freedom two fifty was founded by
the President, Martina McBride saying I was presented with an
opportunity to perform at a non partisan event, but that
turned out to be misleading.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Top of that, Millie Vanilly they pulled out. You know
it's bad when they're not doing something. I don't think
one of them's around anymore, neither Millie or Vanilly. Brett
Michaels pulled out. He was the latest. I mean, you
lost Milli Vanilly. Can we be honest? It's just going
to be Lee Greenwood singing Proud to be an American
for hours. That's all I'm saying. Coming up. Jim Kennedy

(01:30:55):
Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research joins the program. Chat
Benson Chub.

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

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
At that time of the week, we talked to our
good body, Jim Kennedy of the Kennedy Institute of Public
Ballacy Research, or a Jim straight out the Gate, Spencer Pratt,
Karen Bass. Los Angeles become a national story. The way
that the mayor's race works is kind of odd, kind
of give everybody a snapshot of how this thing works.
On Tuesday night.

Speaker 21 (01:31:43):
If somebody happens to get fifty, they will be the mayor.
There will be no runoff in November.

Speaker 22 (01:31:51):
It has happened.

Speaker 21 (01:31:53):
Garcetti did it about eight years ago before Karen Bas
came along going into a second term.

Speaker 22 (01:31:58):
He didn't have to run again. He was done June.
That's over now.

Speaker 21 (01:32:02):
If that doesn't happen, the top two vote getters will
move on to a runoff on election day in November.
So at this point it is neck and neck and
neck with the last poll that came out on Thursday
morning had had Ramin at twenty five, it had Pratt
at twenty two, and it had Bass at twenty six,
so they're basically in all of those. There's like a

(01:32:23):
four point margin of air, so they are all within
the margin of air, so any one of those could
be leading. I don't really think Rama is polling that
highly because there are yes, there are far more Democrats
than Republicans in Los Angeles, in the City of Los Angeles,
but a lot of them are fed up. This is
going to be a very low turnout election. I don't

(01:32:44):
know if they were pulling likely voters or registered voters,
because that's going to make a difference. I would be
surprised that they get much beyond twenty five to thirty
percent turnout in this election on Tuesday. So that kind
of helps Pratt because it means probably more Democrats won't
be voting than Republicans because Republicans are kind of riled up.

Speaker 22 (01:33:03):
They've got a new there's a there's.

Speaker 21 (01:33:05):
A new woman running the LA GOP who's really really
trying to make a difference and get the vote out
and get Republicans elected, and she's working really hard at it.
So hopefully they're going to get a better Republican turnout
than there is Democrat turnout, and hopefully Pratt can get
into the to the runoff, probably with Bass. That would
kind of be the way that I would suspect it's
going to work out right now, but you know, again

(01:33:27):
we're gonna have to see. You know, even even if
city is large of LA, it's a little difficult to
pull it. You're not going to get exact numbers on it.
So yeah, so that's kind of what it looks like
right now is what it's going to be come Tuesday.
But even then, if Pratt does make him the runoff,
he's got a large hill to climb. Again, you're talking
about four times as many Democrats as there are Republicans,

(01:33:50):
and then he'll then Bass would pick up all of
the Raman votes. Nathia Rahman, who's a Democratic member of
the city council who kind of you know, is quas
ideas they approved but not actually approved type of situation.
And there are four or five DSA Democratic Socially of America,
you know, card carrying members on the LA City Council.

Speaker 22 (01:34:10):
That's how bad it is in LA. There are zero Republicans.

Speaker 21 (01:34:13):
There was one non partisan, non no political party declared
guy and he actually got run off for some sort
of a scandal. And the rest are either Democrats or
Democratic Socialists. So yeah, we'll have to see. But you know,
Hopefully this is a turning point for LA because it
can't get much worse. We can't allow it to get
much worse because we are near rock bottom. But there's

(01:34:34):
still so many people out there that don't really care
and are just going to vote for the person with
the D next of their name. They just don't really
understand the need for change, and until it personally affects them.
Mean a lot of them have been personally effective. Between
the fire and the homeless and the crime and all
of that stuff. I think there's a chance, finally that
there we are near rock bottom in the city of
LA and change may be coming.

Speaker 22 (01:34:53):
But I'm not holding my breath.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
I don't think he has any chance of winning on Tuesday.
I don't think anybody does. But I think his best
chance is to turn it into Bass versus him and
several more months of him just exposing the insanity of
how LA and their politics have failed.

Speaker 22 (01:35:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:35:11):
Absolutely, and considering how bad things are, never count out
some sort of an October surprise.

Speaker 22 (01:35:17):
I don't mean in Apple research.

Speaker 21 (01:35:18):
I mean something screwing up a fire or something unfortunate
happening in Los Angeles that would you know, that would
basically again, you know, bring the spotlight on Karen Bass's
ineptitude to run the city and the problems that she
has already been unable to deal with during her almost
four years in office. So yeah, there's always a possibility
that another you know, homeless fire underneath the freeway could

(01:35:41):
shut down one of the major arteries into Los Angeles
or something like that could happen. That would get the
attention back onto her failures and maybe be enough for
people to go, wow, you know what, I always vote Democrat,
but there's a problem here, and I really, you know,
I really wanted better La. You know, I it took
me an extra hour for two months to get into
too the office because of that fire that if they

(01:36:02):
had basically taken care of the homeless problem, they wouldn't
have been there.

Speaker 22 (01:36:05):
So yeah, that could definitely happen.

Speaker 21 (01:36:08):
More to me, the longer this goes, the better the
chance that Pratt probably has, because there's just more chance
for a screw up.

Speaker 22 (01:36:15):
Or for some sort of catasrophy to happen in the
city of LA.

Speaker 2 (01:36:17):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Public Placey Research, Jim,
and this is something that is I've talked about it
for a long time. I've been on AI for a
long time. I've talked about it for years, my uncle
and I and all the stuff that we do. But
the data centers are becoming this year's kind of surprise

(01:36:38):
thing that everybody's focusing on. AI is front of mine
to everybody. You're seeing young college kids are coming out.
They've got a lot of debt and they've got no
jobs to come to. It's not a great time to
be coming out of college because a lot of those
jobs for the kind of things that people are spending
a lot of money, they've just been replaced before they
don't even have a chance to get started. But it's
not about that right now. It's out the data centers

(01:37:01):
with AI. How bad are they, how big are they?
What's it going to cost to run these things? People
are starting to pay attention to go wait a minute, here,
we're looking around. You're gonna want to use up all
this water, but it's also going to affect my bills
and no.

Speaker 22 (01:37:16):
Yeah, I think there's a lot more fear monitoring than
there is actual information about this stuff out there. They're
going to be built on in the middle of nowhere
and actually, Elon Musk is working on the whole problem.

Speaker 21 (01:37:25):
He wants to put them in space. He thinks they'd
be better off in space because you'd have unlimited solar
free solar power up there, and because the fact that
space is really really cold, you wouldn't have that much of.

Speaker 22 (01:37:35):
An issue cooling them.

Speaker 21 (01:37:36):
You'd have to be careful because obviously when you're facing
the Sun you're going to get all that, you're going
to get warmth. But if you're able to deflect it
out and to basically rotate them where they're going to
get cooled off they're going to have, it's gonna be
a lot better for them, and it could be over
time a lot cheaper for them to put them into
space once there's a heavy lift capability with Elon Starship
and all those things. But as far as the water

(01:37:58):
use its thing, because that's a big thing about all
the water they're using the even currently with the number
of data centers in place, and sure those numbers are
going to are going to increase rapidly and maybe almost
expontentially over five ten years. It doesn't even come close
to what the almond crop in California takes in or
we use this right now, AI data centers use I

(01:38:18):
don't know, maybe somewhere close to maybe twenty five billion
gallons a year, which sounds like a lot. Almonds in
California are one point six trillion gallons of water a year. Okay,
so it's not even a one percent equation between that. Now, yes,
that's going to go up, but also the data centers
over time will basically figure out ways to cool themselves

(01:38:39):
better and to make themselves more efficient. They'll put solar power,
you know, on farms in them or on them to
basically generate solar power so they won't be as much
of an effect on the grid. There's also new nuclear
technology coming where they could build small nuclear power plants
that could almost be self contained. They could run them
on between that and electrical power. So I think there's

(01:39:00):
a lot of concerns that will get worked out. I mean,
you know, there were a lot of people that were protested,
and I believe it even got pretty violent over the
days when cars started to come in back in the
early nineteen hundreds, about what's going to happen to buggy
whit manufacturers, what's going to happen to people with horseshoes,
you know, are we all going to die because we
went over twenty miles an hour in a car type
of thing. All of the fear things about that, about

(01:39:21):
the dangers of automobile. Sure, if you don't use them right,
they can be dangerous, but for the most part, they're
a fairly safe method of transportation. So I think I
think there's a lot of you know, feelings of our
facts going out right now on this. I think with
some data, some information, some education, I think a lot
of this will be well. You know, a lot of
these people can get the confidence that these aren't going

(01:39:42):
to be the bogeyman that everybody wants them to be.

Speaker 22 (01:39:45):
But they are a popular thing to go after.

Speaker 21 (01:39:48):
They've come up in the California governor's race, they come
up in lots of different political races. I know that
you said AOC and Bernie have talked about them and
the evils. That's wholly separate from the effects that AI
are going to have on the job market, and that
is going to be something that will be substantial over time.
So I've got friends in tech that are saying that
their companies have been telling them that they want to
start cutting back on some of it.

Speaker 22 (01:40:09):
Because they haven't necessarily.

Speaker 21 (01:40:10):
Seen in the technology space as far as using it
for technology implement for implications that they're seeing that there
it's costing them so much in token cost which you
which you use to spend to you know, to get
access to the AI and then to the cycles of
the computers that generate the answers. You ask them that
they're not seeing a lot of value compared to what

(01:40:32):
the costs are that they're you know that they're coders
or coders off shore, offshore could basically code this stuff
as as efficiently and as cheaply right now.

Speaker 11 (01:40:40):
Now.

Speaker 21 (01:40:40):
I'm sure costs will drop on AA over time as
there's more data centers, it gets more more propagated out there.
But right now a lot of a lot of them
are kind of you know, putting the pencil to paper
and kind of questioning whether there is a good value
there or not. And they some of them have asked
them to cut back on their on their usage of
it for a lot of common work, you know, things
that are done in the workplace.

Speaker 22 (01:40:59):
Yeah, a lot of them going to get automated, and
unfortunately that'll be you know, those will go away.

Speaker 21 (01:41:03):
But same things that has happened in technology time over time,
where people have basically been laid off and they create
the next Cisco, or they create the next Intel, or
they create the next you know, great company that comes
along that you know, that becomes a ten billion dollar
company that hires four thousand people. So it's just kind
of an inerative process about this. It's you know, it's

(01:41:25):
called destructive capitalism where basically something gets broken and then
you build something else that makes it that that gets
better and the higher many more people than were laid
off before, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):
And I was talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Public
Policy Research, and one of the things, and there's two
things that I think people are. The water thing. It's
a bigger deal, say in California with the West obviously
because of the whole water battles that go on there.
But I understand like the fear factor of I don't

(01:41:57):
have to buy almonds, but I need power, and if
my power bill is going to go up by twenty
five to thirty percent, you're going to get all the
tax breaks. And on top of that, I got to
hear a hum all the time, and you took my neighbors.
You know, half of my neighbors, you know, land and
you know, you promise us all this stuff and if

(01:42:17):
there's a power outage, you get to stay on and
we don't. Those are the issues I think a lot
of people are worried about us coming at times from
the West. Obviously, the water thing is a big deal,
but I think it's more than just the whether or
not it's going to cost a lot with the water
and what's it going to do, because that stuff will
work itself out much quicker because Ai'll figure out a

(01:42:37):
way to do it.

Speaker 22 (01:42:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:42:39):
Absolutely, And there's you know, and you're right about the
West has always been water constrained. You know, it's limited
the growth over the years of the West, even though
it has grown rapidly. Because of that, There's been wars over,
there's been battles over, There've been great Yellowstone television shows
made over water rights and water usage and stuff like
that over the years. And there's people that specialize in water,

(01:42:59):
you know, water law because of how prescient of a
commodity it is in the West. And absolutely, and maybe
you know, maybe you put fewer data centers in the West.
They don't need to be physically proximal to where the
users are. They can be physically proximal anywhere. They can
be in the middle of the Gobi desert if that
works out well or something. So yeah, they and the
people that are proximant to them, Yeah they can. Those

(01:43:21):
things will be worked out.

Speaker 22 (01:43:22):
The noises. Maybe you wind up bearing a lot of
them underground. It's cooler.

Speaker 21 (01:43:26):
It would be less cost to basically keep them, to
keep them cool because it's you know, like where people
store their wine underground, because it's a constant you know,
fifty six fifty eight sixty degrees down there. It doesn't
get to be one hundred and ten there, So things
like that.

Speaker 22 (01:43:39):
Over time. Sure, I'm sure there will be problems. They'll
get worked out. I would think for the most part.

Speaker 21 (01:43:43):
There'll be some people that you know, there'll be some
people that'll be abusive with it, and they'll and that's
where regulation will need to come in and make sure
that everybody played fair and doesn't really you know, you
don't put out toxic chemicals or anything like that where
you've had problem with chemical plants in the past or
refineries in the path, And for the most part, those
things get work and then you know, and and then
you basically live happily ever after and at some point

(01:44:05):
hopefully you even forget you're living, you know, next to
a data center that that's buried one hundred yards from you.
As long as it's not some sort of aerospace chemical
that can leak and blow up one hundred yards are Yep,
you're probably gonna be okay.

Speaker 2 (01:44:16):
Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. We'll be
talking to you on Monday, obviously, midterm Mondays. Brother, you
have a good one and that safe weekend. Thanks Jed,
right out right, out right, we're gonna wrap it up
straight ahead. The first relief factor. You need relief. You
don't want the aches, the pains, all of the stuff.
You want to feel better. Yesterday my local producer Bell,

(01:44:37):
his neck was bad, stiff, he ended up going home.
I said, take a bunch of relief Factor. You're gonna
feel better. Text me last night said, dude, that stuff
was amazing. It's incredible. Aches and pains in your joints,
aches and pains in your muscles. Inflammation is the key there,
and you fight it with relief Factor. It works. I

(01:44:58):
take it every day. Naturally formulated take it every single day.
It's non addictive. It's just the best stuff around. If
you're sick and tired of having aches and pains in
your joints, you want to get back to living a
better life, pain free, It's about Relief Factor. Get your
three week quick start now just nineteen ninety five go
to relief Factor dot com. Relief Factor dot com or

(01:45:19):
call eight hundred four relief eight hundred the number four
relief for Relief Factor. All right, we're gonna wrap it
up straight ahead right here, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:45:40):
If you like talk radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
As we wrap it up all this Friday, let's take
a listen back to the chaos, the craziness that was
this week.

Speaker 6 (01:45:59):
This memorial.

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
We salute them, we exalt them, and we thank them
for all that we have, for all that they gave.

Speaker 7 (01:46:07):
We owe a debt to the people who went overseas
and gave their lives that the United States might be
prosperous and peaceful and free.

Speaker 28 (01:46:15):
I've got one hundred dollars walking.

Speaker 15 (01:46:19):
I know how I saved is burning hold I do
bugging in and doing my skin.

Speaker 8 (01:46:27):
I'm on the morning, I'll be free. I'm not my
mother nan again.

Speaker 9 (01:46:37):
It's so you want to just call this today.

Speaker 10 (01:46:48):
We're here to tell Egene Carol that we are with her,
that we support her, and we will be with her
each and every day.

Speaker 11 (01:46:55):
Well, champagne's a really good way to deal with the heat.
But also we're from Los Angeles, so we're used to
the hot weather.

Speaker 8 (01:47:01):
It's fine, time freeze my motor running again.

Speaker 9 (01:47:08):
It's fine.

Speaker 12 (01:47:12):
Work with Moon Base Artemis. Astronauts will stay longer, explore farther,
and conduct the kinds of science that advances exploration itself.

Speaker 13 (01:47:23):
We have declared this incident a transition from rescue to recovery.
As of this morning, the data we've had, it's been
trending in the in the right direction.

Speaker 14 (01:47:33):
May be hurting my hand in Juny wonder if ever,
Wendy and A thirty hours slowly tunity Findy.

Speaker 8 (01:47:47):
Fay freeze. It's five forget time.

Speaker 16 (01:48:03):
And finally, he's a threat to our very way of
life and our values.

Speaker 17 (01:48:06):
I mean, he's a vegan who thinks God is non
binary and that there's actually six biological sexes.

Speaker 16 (01:48:12):
It's hard to imagine someone more radical than that.

Speaker 18 (01:48:14):
After a public service career lasting more than four decades
and eighteen consecutive campaign wins.

Speaker 2 (01:48:21):
Tonight the Cup, we've come up short in this primary runoff.

Speaker 19 (01:48:24):
Oman will behave just like everybody else, so will have.

Speaker 6 (01:48:28):
To blow him up. Tony told a joke. It wasn't
a tasteful joke to us. We didn't like it. Okay,
hey man, Joe, we move on.

Speaker 2 (01:48:36):
That was a week for sure, and of course you
never know what's going to happen over the weekend. And
we're getting ever closer to the World Cup Baby. Two
weeks from tonight, the United States kicks off their campaign
in this World Cup three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson Show is
your ex insta YouTube and more love hearing from all
of you right here the Chad Benson Show. Another alid

(01:49:00):
weekend the books, and by that I mean a four
day weekend, which is always nice. I love these, I
love these again. We're just talking about who knows what's
gonna happen over the weekend. One thing I do know
is we'll be back on Monday next week. Obviously, we've
got some interesting stuff going on with some midterms. Iran

(01:49:22):
still out there. Who knows what's gonna happen. We're getting
closer and closer to kick off to the World Cup, which,
as you heard, I'm pretty excited about. Reach out to
us across all of our social media. We love hearing
from all of you guys, and I try to get
back to everybody as much as I can as possible.
You guys, have a blessed and safe weekend. We'll do
it again on Monday. As always, Night Night Jack.
