Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Are the straits open, closed, blockaded, told fees protection fees.
I don't think anybody really knows. Yesterday was all over
the place, and apparently there was a rush by several
people within the administration to get to Trump and say, dude,
you can't what are you talking about telling everybody it

(00:37):
needs to remain free, except for the fact where you
are saying, well, now you know what we're gonna charge
you guys, that's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
So when I put that out yesterday, we've been doing
that for many, many years. It was never fair to
me that we would be guarding the strait when we
basically don't take it and we don't need the oil
at all. And it wasn't important for us, but it's
important for allies.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
It was important for people that we get along with
very well, including the major Gulf state countries.

Speaker 6 (01:08):
So I put it out yesterday. I thought it was good.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
I was called by different people different countries, kings and
emirs and all of the people that we all know
and we all love, and they've been frankly, they've been
very strong partners, and they.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
Said, we'd love to do it. A different way.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
We'd love to invest in the United States with billions
and billions of dollars and continue our record setting because
we there's never been a time like this with the
United States, with the factories, with the plants, with everything else,
and we would like to invest tremendously in the United
States as opposed to charging the fee. And I like

(01:47):
that actually, because I don't think anybody should be able
to charge your fee for the for the strait or
for any other straight relationship in terms of other sections
of the world.

Speaker 6 (01:58):
I don't think anybody should be in that position.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
But we were doing it as a reimbursement that the
Gulf States are going to invest a tremendous amount of
money into the United States, and that was very satisfactory
to me.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
I think it's actually much.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Better I have what So now they're going to invest
in America? Is that where you're going with this? So
they're not going to pay us anything, You're going to
just make sure that they invest. Okay, Again, the confusion
here is interesting on how this is going down because

(02:34):
it affects oil prices. And I know what he said there,
and I know some of you are gonna get upset
by this, we don't need their oil. Fine, we don't
need the oil. I mean, we get fifteen percent of
our oil from there, so we'll cut down to eighty
five percent and that's totally fine. Prices won't go up,

(02:54):
Wait they will. Yeah, he's all over the place. And
this is my frustration at a time like this, Why
are you all over the place. What the hell are
we doing still talking about this? Because we shouldn't be
in this situation. Yet here we are back in this situation.
Oil prices are going up, inflation was down a little bit,

(03:16):
but you know what, kiss that goodbye, Kiss that goodbye.
And now we're sitting here going is it gonna go up? Okay?
Is it going We're gonna do what he even said yesterday,
he doesn't rule out putting boots on the ground, which
look for all the things that we've talked about, even

(03:37):
with our good buddy Mike Lan's military analysts, that's a
game changer right there. That's a game changer. And one
of the reasons this thing changed so quick from him
charging tolls is he did get a lot of phone calls.
He got a lot of people call him and going, dude,
what are you doing? No, sir, No, we're not doing this.

(03:58):
You can't do this. Plus they're come after us now,
so now it's a game of who can outlast each other.
Can they push in their mind oil prices up to
the point where it's not only uncomfortable for the average American,

(04:21):
it becomes so uncomfortable for the President that that he
has to shift on the other side of it. He says,
you know what, We're just going to bomb them till
they quit. We're just going to keep bombing them till
they finally say, I Right've had enough, uncle. So this
is going to go on for a while, and the
boots on the ground would be a whole different game changer. Absolutely.

(04:45):
We were from there to Maine. The shooting of an
immigrant with ice. The story is evolving fast as we
all know.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
It was the second time in a week that ice
kill a person who was not the target they were pursuing,
and now DHS is ordering a pause for most vehicle stops.
Sources tell ABC News ice officers will get new training
orders are Tom Homan says the pause will be short.

Speaker 6 (05:15):
I wouldn't call it bumping the road. I mean this
is going to be a short term review.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
So ICE shows controble that their agents are safe, they're
doing the right thing, and get back.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
To, you know, doing what they do best.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Which is we're trying to figure that out. Because this look,
I want immigration to be I want the fix to
actually happen. How we sort out immigration across the board
from top to bottom, from stopping people with unfettered access
coming across the border to you know, the broken asylum system,

(05:51):
to having visas where people can come here. I mean,
I think we all want that, to finding out who
wants to be here, who doesn't want to be We
want that. But this is not helping and this is
not an anomaly. We talked about it yesterday. We broke
the numbers down. Eleven people have been killed by ICE
since Trump took office. In Trump two point zero shootings

(06:16):
are way up. Now, throw Biden out the window, not
you know, this figurative when it comes to his four years,
because ICE really didn't do much. But if you go
back to eight years of Obama and Trump, his sixteen
seventeen months since he's taken over, those numbers are through
the roof compared to the years with Obama and Trump,

(06:41):
I mean through the roof. There is a fundamental problem
when it comes to the way they're handling stuff, and
one of those happens to be the information. This is
the second person in two weeks. We had the one
in Texas and Houston and we had this one in
Maine where you've you've got the wrong person. The information

(07:01):
you have is old. We want to catch the people
should be gone. If you've got in order to be removed,
you should be removed. But we have to do better.
I think most of you would agree with that that
right now, what we have is a fundamental issue and
we've got to do better. We've got to do better

(07:21):
with the information that's out there. We've got to do
better with how these guys are being trained. I mean,
there needs to be a change. And Tom Homan understands
that he wants to be strong and at the same time,
you understands this isn't a good look. It isn't it's

(07:43):
not a good look if you think that ICES and
DHS is just out there executing people, which is again
something they're Oh god, they're out there killing people. I
mean that's ridiculous. And left you're gonna this is where
I look at you and say you're going to take
this and run with it as if you know, this

(08:03):
is what the right does, and the left does, Oh
look what DHS did. They're out there with ice and
they're just executing everybody on the streets. It's the way
they're judge jury an executioner. And then the right looks
over here and goes, well, you allow these people access
to our country, and what do they do. They're murdering
young innocent people on the streets, and look at common sense, guys.
Common sense lives here. We're about solving the problem. We're

(08:27):
not about taking the problem and making it worse, which
in today's world is not what people want. People want
their algorithms crave combativeness, anger, and continue to push the narratives.
And the narratives aren't reality. So we're going to see

(08:50):
it's going to be interesting to see the way this
one plays itself out on the heels of what took
place in Houston. And this the fact that Tom Holman
said we're going to slow this thing down for a bit,
that's another interesting thing because I think he's a guy
that wants to get stuff done the right way, and
the right way is get your job done, don't be

(09:11):
seen don't make a giant, huge mess out of stuff.
Measure twice, cut once, and right now. I don't even
think they're measuring. I think they're flying by the seat
of their pants, and that, to me is unacceptable. I
think most people would believe that. I think most people

(09:31):
look and go, yeah, I want to make sure that
we figure out this thing with immigration. We can't have
unfettered access to the border. At the same time, we
can't have this because this feels like it's a pattern
more than an anomaly. Meanwhile, it's time to talk come.

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Or Prrera.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Rights Shari right across too. We haven't been able to
control the play in midfield. Why that Maradona has been
able to do.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
They had to be the gun.

Speaker 8 (10:16):
Solimantel should win the World Cup for Argentina with his kick.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes, yesterday, Spain did what Spain does. I said their
defense is amazing and I thought France would show better.
Oddly enough, I think I picked Spain to win the
World Cup. I know I laid money on them to
win the World Cup. Their defense was just amazing. They

(10:42):
and I was telling my buddy, Spain's one of those
teams where you walk off the field and you think,
how do we lose those guys because they do everything
really really well. There isn't just beyond great like you
see within Bape and a few of the others. And
they knew, realized everything that France threw at them, and

(11:04):
then they took advantage of opportunities. And when they did
this s Gord borrow all ball, the return of Jomar
that was their second goal yesterday put them up to nothing,
and they never looked like they were going to ever

(11:25):
relinquish that when they were up one. I didn't think
France was pressing hard enough. Just a great, great game,
great team, no doubt about it. That's why they're the
European champions. Today you've got England v Argentina. We'll talk
about that a little bit later. The political context of
this as well as the sporting context. We'll talk about that,
among other things. A lot of stuff to get to today.

(11:46):
I hope you guys are doing well. Incogniti is awesome.
Now you've heard me talk about it, you probably think, Okay, Chad,
what is this again? Your data? Data is important? All right? Ever,
wonder why your phone never stops buzzing? Spam tex emails,
scams out there fishing. Guess what your data, your information
it is out there. They collect everything your name, your address,
your phone number, details like your income, even your medications,

(12:10):
your doctors, all of that stuff. You want your privacy back,
and Cogny gets it back for you. Four hundred and
eleven data brokers have had to remove my information thanks
doing Cogny. And guess what text messages I'm getting? Virtually
none now and those will be gone soon. No more calls,
which is amazing. That's what you want. If you're worried

(12:33):
about your information being out there, and we should all
be worried, letting Cogny help you because let me tell
you something, if they can't find your information, it makes
it a lot harder for them to scam you. So

(12:58):
Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Will we change the clocks or will we not change
the clocks? When it comes to daylight savings time?

Speaker 9 (13:18):
The three eight, the NASER one seventeen, the bill is passed.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
What I think they were trying to play? Here comes
the sun, Scooby Dooby. It's not what they say, Scooby Doobe.
I threw that in there for my own hilarity. Should
be or shouldn't we Now? I lived in Arizona for
several years, been out here in Nashville going on three years,
and I will tell you we didn't change the clocks.

(13:48):
We survived. I it's a weird I get it. It's
it's a weird thing. We have electricity now though, so
that kind of helps. But there's the worry. So we
get an extra hour of sunlight in the winter, but
it's also darker in the morning. Ooh, is it dangerous?

(14:10):
Yes or no?

Speaker 10 (14:11):
Congress made daylight saving time permanent during the nineteen seventies
energy crisis, but reversed course after parents revolted over children
walking to school in pitch dark winter mornings. In Florida alone,
eight kids were killed in traffic accidents. Permanent daylight saving
time would mean the sun wouldn't rise until eight fifty
two am in Seattle in mid January and nine oh

(14:33):
four am in Indianapolis. But this new bill would allow
dates to opt out and make their own decisions.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I am, like I said, in Arizona, it was a
little bit darker in the mornings, but we got a
little bit later in the afternoons. That was I was
okay with that. It wasn't awful. Now. It wasn't dark
at eight thirty in the morning, but you know at
seven fifteen it was still dark at times. It's allow

(15:01):
the states to choose if they want to. I mean,
you know, there's pros and cons and everything. No more
springing forward, no more falling back. Better for business and tourism,
or daylight after work in school, which is good, eliminate
sleep disruption when it comes to you know, the clocks
and whatnot, but sun comes out later. Worry about kids

(15:23):
going to school. Understand those things. It's also good for business, right,
and business is always a good thing. Will it happen,
won't it happen? What will states do? What won't states do?
We're gonna find that out. It's but it's just one
of those things. It's like, all right, let's just let's
just it's time. Let's just pick an area and we're
gonna go with it. Just be done. This is the time.

(15:44):
Somewhere better Yet, we're gonna split the difference. We're gonna
cut it by half an hour. I will say. In
the winter, I used to hate because I got to
work so early. I used to hate it when it
was dark in the morning and I would leave and
it was dark in the afternoon. It's like when you
come out of a movie theater and you go in
and it's light and you come out and it's ark, like,
oh my god, is it midnight? Kind of feels like that.
I think a lot of people feel that way. What
do you think? Let me know three two, three, five,

(16:05):
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show
is your ex insta, YouTube and everything else right of
the Chad Benson Show. So if you've eaten at Taco
Bell in Michigan lately, you may want to stay close
to a toilet.

Speaker 11 (16:17):
The preliminary results that we've gotten from Michigan, because they're
dealing with the height of this outbreak, we also see
referrals or notes from places like Taco Bell. For example,
they've said that they're going to voluntarily and temporarily remove
certain ingredients, but they also note that the Department of
Health has not found a definitive link between any of.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Their products and this outbreak.

Speaker 11 (16:36):
Also important to understand that in prior outbreaks, it usually
is multiple different outbreaks at the same time.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yes, and of course we're talking about the evil cyclo sporas.
I call it Uncle Sam's revenge. Now, yesterday, my stomach
was a little upset. I thought, oh God, no, because
I'd eaten at Taco Bell earlier. But it was okay,
I'm gonna survive. I will. It was fine because it's

(17:04):
in Michigan that they're worried about, and there hasn't been
any complaints. We still have no idea where this originated from,
and we know how you get it, which is gross.
I don't really talk about it, but the reality is
is it's spreading. It's not the Nora virus. A lot
of people think they have like a Nora virus or
a stomach flu or something like that. It's it's different

(17:24):
because you don't vomit. It happened. You get where I'm
going with this. Just be careful out there, that's all
We're trying to tell you here, we're warning you to
be careful because it is spreading and you're not getting
it from human to human contact. It is from foods.
You're missing the show we had, the podcast, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Chat, Fun, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's that portion of the week where you have a
little bit of fun at the expense of progressive white
women because at times as crazy as Maggie could be,
guess what, you guys are just as crazy. It's not
him at the coffee bar. She's not streaming from our car,
fat take GHD telling workers what.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
They ought to be.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Let me send her.

Speaker 12 (18:26):
Your experience sad again over everyone got.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
A friend for every human sin. What flucks you if
you don't shime in. It's white woman Wednesdays. We're have
a good time with the progressive white ladies who are
angry all the time. And it's always a man's fault. Baby,
it's always a man's fault, and it's Maga's fault as well.

Speaker 13 (18:53):
I s murdered another person today because they are a
bunch of incompetent pistopo and losers.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Donald Trump, You, Maggie, you're a bunch of us.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
It's Nazis.

Speaker 14 (19:05):
Remember hot chicks don't matter.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Okay, I'll remember that. From there, we moved to this
and this kidding aside, Okay, this right here is this
is an issue. And I think a lot of what
this lady's saying is kind of bs. But this is
an issue I think going forward and how we view

(19:33):
each other, how tribal we've become.

Speaker 15 (19:36):
This is why I will never forgive Trump voters. I
try and have a nice and peaceful, calm dinner by
the ocean here. It's absolutely gorgeous. It's a beautiful evening.
And I just got told I should be thrown in
prison because I make the content I do online. I
was just sitting there having mine prosecco, watching the World
Cup match, and this woman, probably I would say, in

(19:57):
her fifties, just decides to go off and naturally after
a drink. It's me. So I say no, and I've
told I should be thrown in jail, but she's not
going to report me. Isn't that kind of cut? Isn't
that kind? And I just wanted to enjoy the World
Cup match by the ocean. It's a beautiful sunset. Umberg

(20:19):
Island and now, like everything else in this country, it
is just going to absolute hell. I don't care if
you're voted for him there times, two times, three times,
you are done. In my book, because of people like
that and attitudes like that have a great evening.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
That doesn't help. It doesn't. And we like to be
problem solvers here. People vote for people and sometimes doesn't
worry out the way they think it's going to work out,
and well you move on. That's it. You move on,

(21:00):
and you go, well, they voted for somebody. I like it,
and you move on. Now do I think that somebody
looked at her? And I've looked at her following. It's
not like she's got fifty million followers. I'd never seen
her before, and I'm in this business. But when I'm
looking at her, I'm thinking, does somebody really come up
and say you should be thrown in jail? That person's
an idiot. It's that simple. You're an idiot if you

(21:22):
think that. You know, because somebody rails against Mago or Trump,
that person should be in jail. But it's the tribal
issue that most of us that are normal and I
say normies because we're normies, right, we're the exhausted majority.
We don't live in the fringes of anger and hate

(21:43):
and online. I'm trying to bring people back from that.
It's the goal here, and it's not met with a
lot of love on either side. And I'm okay with that.
I could take the slings in the arrows. I'm good
with that because I call it as I see it,
and everybody's like, it's based on an opinion. This is
what I get. Here's what I get from the left.

(22:06):
You you've you're full of hate, You're full of anger,
et cetera, et cetera, because you don't hate Trump. And
and I tell them, look, I don't hate anybody right,
especially a politician, because it's energy that it's just not needed.
And I'll let them live in my head. That way,
you're letting them live in your head. That is insane.

(22:30):
And the people on the right attack me in the
maga ight, attack me because they say, well, all the
things that you tell us about whatever it is from
the administration, not just Trump, by the way, it's anything
for the administration. But it's funny because if I talk
about somebody else in the administration and I point out
some facts or figures never get the same thing. It's
about Trump, which makes me laugh because it's it solely

(22:54):
becomes about Trump. And I'm like, isn't it funny that
when I say something against the left, you never text me,
you never leave a message, you never hit me up
on the interwebs or anything and say anything about that.
But when it's Trump you come and because you've put
yourself in that tribe, Well, everything you say is based

(23:18):
on opinion. No, I like to do stuff based on facts,
not opinions. I'm going to give you my opinion based
on the facts. I'm not going to give you an
opinion with just because this is how I feel, because
that doesn't work. It doesn't that's just ridiculous. And then
this business, it's easy to do. Right. Here's a perfect

(23:38):
example yesterday Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, talking about communism,
how it's here, how he needs three hundred and fifty
gazillion dollars to fight communism in America.

Speaker 16 (23:54):
They don't want prisons, it's in their platform. They want
to remove the carceral state. They said, no prisons. They
don't want to fund the police. This is not a game.
Everybody needs to understand these crazy little mini mom donnies
who are popping up all around the country. They were
a danger to you and your family. This is not
a game. If they promise you free stuff, there is

(24:14):
far more beneath those promises that even some of these
people do not understand themselves. And so we are here
as the Republican Party to stand on the founding principles
of the greatest nation in the history of the world.
It is our duty to do that, and we're doing
it on behalf of all of you, even the journalists
who don't agree with our policies all the time, you
better agree on these principles because that's what keeps you free.

(24:34):
By the way, it's what keeps the press free. Okay,
this is essential for your well being and your family.
This is not a game. This is not our father's
Democrat Party. We're not arguing over marginal tax rates anymore.
We're arguing over whether or not freedom is going to survive.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Fear Fear. Do I think communism is going to take over? No,
it works in a small area of New York or
Berkeley or Los Angeles or wherever, a very small area.
But if I can get fear to get you to move,

(25:14):
Tell everybody they're coming to get you. Then watch out. Well, Chad,
do you see what's going on in the campuses. Yeah,
ninety five percent of kids No what phrase that? Probably
ninety nine percent aren't in classes like humanities at all,

(25:36):
pay very little attention to whatever their professors are saying
when it gets uber political, because their goal is to party,
get through college, get out, start living their life. When
I show you only crazy, I can drive engagement, and
through engagement, I can make you think that the world

(25:59):
is out to get you and is evil and bad.
If you go to Blue Sky and you hate Trump,
I can make it so you think that, hey, every
white person out there is only thinking about how they

(26:22):
can destroy black people's lives. Gaze every It is so
easy to do, and that's why it's bs. It's not real.
Do I worry about communism? No, No, to worry about communism.

(26:42):
Don't worry about There are a lot of things to
worry about. The average person. You and I, you know,
we worry about paying our bills. We're gonna have enough
to make sure that we cover all the bills. We
can put a little bit away, start saving from the
kids in college et cetera, et cetera. Worry about that
report new tomorrow. Worry about whether or not you or

(27:04):
your wife or whatever, who's going to pick up the kids.
Those are what people are worried about the cost of eggs. Yes,
you're not worried about community. No, who worries It is funny.
I was talking to my buddy yesterday. Who does he gets?
He gets, you know, just overly worked up. And then
he'll send me something and I'll say, dude, it's not true.
It's just stop listening to this crap, all right, right,

(27:28):
And he's older. You've got boomers who are fighting with
well to do, well educated gen Z and millennials just absurd.
Get out of your tribal thought. Challenge your beliefs. If

(27:50):
you do one thing, do that, challenge your beliefs. Go
to another area and say, hey, Fox told me this,
want a mare, News told me this, Newsmax told me this.
I wonder if it's true. And if you're on the
left and you're listening to this, go hey, I wonder

(28:10):
if maybe ms now is putting it on a little
too thick, or the Huffington Post isn't giving me all
of the answers maybe I should expand a little bit
and go. Look, studies have shown when people leave their
echo chamber and they consume other news outlets, those walls

(28:35):
start to come down, which is exactly what needs to happen.
Know this, the outrage world of what we see nowadays
on cable news is a for profit business. It's what
it is. And I'm not saying there aren't people out

(28:56):
there who believe crazy things wholeheartedly. Of course there is,
but know that the outrage that we see every day
is handpicked specifically because you engage with it, and so
they feed you more. And the more they can get
you outrage, the more that they can do what get

(29:17):
you to stay and engage, and the more they do that,
the more of an opportunity to sell you something. You
are the product for their people. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chadbentson show is
your ex your insta etube and all of the other things.
Love hearing from each and every one of you every

it's gonna get you moving. I promise you that Chat
Benson chow.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Irreverence like, yeah, so what, it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Each and every week we like to have a little
bit of fun on a Wednesday, not just White Woman Wednesday,
but a little one Hit Wonder Wednesday. This is where
we break down a song that, for a moment in
time was a massive hit. And in many cases, these
artists and the song kind of slowly disappear. This is
not one of them. Well at least when it comes
to the song. I guarantee you've heard this song on

(31:46):
numerous occasions, maybe even today, because right now it is
a big song on the old tick and Talk. But
the artist you probably have no idea who the artists
actually is. Shall we get to it now, it's time
for another edition of One Hit Wonder Wednesday. You may

(32:15):
not remember the name of the.

Speaker 17 (32:16):
Band, but you definitely know the Songlady.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
From this bruiser. This is one hit Wonder Wednesday. So
this song came to US in nineteen seventy eight, but
didn't become a hit until nineteen seventy nine. It climbed
the charts and sold a million copies here in the
US and millions worldwide. It only peaked at number sixteen

(32:51):
on the Billboard Hot one hundred. This song came at
the tail end of disco. Disco was at that point
in time started to be really a pariah. It was hated.
Remember that night in Chicago, the White Sox game, they
did the destruction of Disco night and they blew up
part of the field in the doubleheader in between and
they had to cancel the second game. Well, the song

(33:13):
kept motoring along and it became huge. Now you will
recognize the song, there's no doubt, but you won't recognize
the singer. His name is pat Hernandez. And when he
did this song, he said to himself, I only need
one song for me to make it, and he did.
And man, you know what, I think he was born

(33:33):
to be alive, A pleased to saddle time time down.

Speaker 18 (33:46):
People need just a.

Speaker 19 (33:52):
Fall Far Farm.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
The song was a smash hit all over the world
and it stayed on the charts for a while. Not
only did the Disco charts, but cross over into the
Billboard Hot one hundred peaked at number sixteen. Beauty of
the song, as he said, is it gave me amazing

(34:29):
comfortable life. Toured the world and when he was touring
the first time singing this song, he had a backup
dancer by the name of Madonna. They dated briefly. He
enjoys his life, still goes out and sings all the
time this one song. But for a fleeting moment globally,
this was the biggest song in the world as disco died.

(34:53):
Oddly enough, a song called Born to Be Alive was
a song that somewhat kept it alive for a little while.
You see a Far.

Speaker 20 (35:03):
Far to.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
See you Far.

Speaker 19 (35:12):
Far.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I love it. Born to be Alive from Pat Hernandez
Patrick Pierre Hernandez to you your one hit wonder today.
If you've got a one hit wonder you'd like us
to get on, let us know three two, three, five,
three eight twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your ex your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook, and
all of those other things. We love hearing from each

(35:37):
and every one of you right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up, our number two of the program.
Look at what's going on in the Middle East. But
obviously there's a big battle going on today here in America,
in Atlanta, England, Argentina. We're gonna talk about that. It's
a big game, baby, It's a big game right there,

(35:59):
Semi five finals. Who will play Spain? We'll discuss that.
What is tan maxing? That's a new thing. Apparently it's
a new thing the kids are doing, and it's a
It's not something we should be doing, is what I'm
trying to say. Got a lot of other good stuff,
including your Urban Word of the Day as well. If
you're missing the show, shame on you grab the podcast.
Hour number three is straight ahead. This is the Chad

(36:23):
Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Big day today in Atlanta, Baby, because the second game
is on, it's time to talk. Come whoa how about that?
Or Perera? What of the rights Sharia? Right across too.

(37:21):
We haven't been able to control the player midfield. Why
that Maratona has been able to do.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
It's hard to be the.

Speaker 8 (37:28):
Game solom Antil can win the World Cup for Argentina
with this kick.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yes, that's right. The World Cup second semi final yesterday
a lot of people thought would be the final. It
was quite frankly an easy game for Spain. France didn't
put up much of an attack, that vaunted attack that
was there really their defense through offense, there was nothing.
Spain had a couple opportunities, took advantage of it and

(38:02):
did what they do, which is nullify your team because
they have the best defense, and defense wins championships and nobody,
nobody has what they have. They just don't defensively, they said.
At last, Arol said, again, you walk off the field.

(38:24):
I've been on teams like this, and I've played against
teams like this, and you think, how did we lose
to those guys, And it's just because they've got great players.
But they're a great team. They know exactly who they are,

(38:45):
they trust each other and they did the business. So
they're going through and they'll take on the winner of
today's game in Georgia, which is England. And are you
that's right? Not just a game of rivalries because of

(39:15):
you know nineteen sixty six. By the way, England Argentina
was in a massive battle when England won the World
Cup in nineteen eighty six, Maridonna the hand of God
goal then the most amazing goal arguably in the World
Cup history. Then you had the Falklands War in between that.
So this is something else here. I mean, this is

(39:35):
a big, massive clash between two huge powers in the
game of football. Argentina the reigning champions, Lionel Messi. They
have gotten here and it has been exhausting at times.
England has been underwhelming at times and yet showed the

(39:57):
biggest heart at times when it comes to fighting off
massive adversity, including the game in Mexico City against Mexico.
So this is going to be an amazing game. Yesterday
was a tactical game. Today, I think it's going to

(40:19):
be blood, action, tears, a little bit of crashing into
each other. I mean it's going to be physical because
these two teams play that way. And you go back
to two thousand and two in the World Cup in France,
the red carding of Beckham. I mean there's a lot
of stuff here that should be absolutely amazing to watch today.

(40:44):
So I'm pumped. And by the way, if you're thinking
to yourself, well, i'd like to go the game, I'm
going to be in Atlanta. That's no big dally. Got
a few bucks. Cheapest ticket right now, way way, way,
way far away. It's three thousand dollars. Oh and by
the way, just let you know there is limited to

(41:06):
no availability whatsoever when it comes to these tickets. So
if you have a few bucks and you think you
can get it somewhere, go for it. You're gonna spend
a bob or two. Who do I think is gonna win?
I just I want England to win because I think

(41:27):
at England Spain Final in New York, somebody's gonna spend
a million dollars for a ticket. That's kind of what
I want. I feel like Argentine has done a lot.
But here's my thing. I do think England's got a
different grit that they haven't had in the past, and
it is gonna think. I think we're getting extra time today.
I think we're getting extra time, which Spain is totally

(41:50):
fine with. They're like, go ahead, you guys, gonna have
extra time all you want. But I think you know
we're gonna get extra time. I want to say two
to one England in extra time if it goes to penalties,
I'm going with Argentina. There you guys go, let me
know what you think. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(42:11):
twenty four to twenty three. Hatch Head Benson Show is
your ex install all those other things. Love hearing from
all of you. We go from there to what's going
on in the Middle East. Currently, we're continuing to bomb,
all right, So that is happening. Trump wants to bomb
until they quit. Apparently I'm gonna bomb them. We're gonna
bomb them some more and then hopefully eventually they'll quit.

(42:33):
But he's not ruled out this is important boots on
the ground. That being said, looks like he is ruling
out things like a toll.

Speaker 6 (42:48):
Just yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
So when I put that out yesterday, we've been doing
that for many, many years. It was never fair to
me that we would be guarding the straight when we
basically don't take it and we don't need the oil
at all. And it wasn't important for us, but it
was important for allies.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
It was important for people that we get along with
very well, including the major Gulf state countries.

Speaker 6 (43:11):
So I put it out yesterday. I thought it was good.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
I was called by different people different countries, kings and
emirs and all of the people that we all know
and we all love, and they've been frankly, they've been
very strong partners, and they said, we'd love to do
it a different way. We'd love to invest in the
United States with billions and billions of dollars and continue

(43:36):
our record setting because there's never been a time like
this with the United States, with the factories, with the plants,
with everything else. And we would like to invest tremendously
in the United States as opposed.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
To charging the fee.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
And I like that actually, because I don't think anybody
should be able to charge a fee for the for
the Strait or for any other straight relationship in terms
of other sections of the world. I don't think anybody
should be really in that position. But we were doing
it as a reimbursement that the Gulf States are going
to invest a tremendous amount of money into the United States,

(44:13):
and that was very satisfactory to me.

Speaker 6 (44:15):
I think it's actually much better.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
So this is going to be better. They're not going
to pay us they're going to invest in us. Ye're well,
I mean, do I think that's going to happen?

Speaker 12 (44:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
I think they got on the phone and said, dude,
what are you doing. I don't know if they call
him dude or not. You'll excuse me something in my throat.
They said, mister President, they're bombing us, They're threatening to
take out our stuff. You're now saying you're going to
charge a toll what. No, this can't happen. So he

(44:45):
changed his tune, and now they're going to invest which
I don't think is going to happen either. Again, it's
Trump is all over the place, and it is hard
to get a gauge on where we're going with this
because I don't know. And as we talk to my clients,
our military analyst yesterday, that makes it hard for everybody

(45:06):
to get an understanding of where any of this is going.
Because what I do know is people I have talked
to say it's a changing minute by minute at times,
minute by minute. Again, you'll have to excuse my voice something.
I don't know what I did. You ever take a

(45:27):
drink and it goes down You think it went down
the wrong pipe, but it doesn't feel like that. And
now I've got this frog living in my voice and
I don't like the frogs. They're turning the frogs gay.
And every time I clear my voice, my studio cat
who's my producer, is not doing a good job. Hemiows.

(45:51):
We moved from there to Maine. The shooting that took
place horrible situation we find ourselves in. Yeah, that's another
ice involved shooting that involves death. Not all of them
are innocent people. Not all of them did nothing wrong.
This seems to be one of the cases though where

(46:12):
you go. There's some issues here.

Speaker 7 (46:16):
But it comes as hundreds and Maine protested the killing
of twenty six year olds Johann Sebastian Guerrero from Colombia
yesterday morning. They executed Johann Sebastian Guerrero in the streets
of Biddeford in front of his three year old daughter.
Daniel Bouchet says he watched Guerrero die and saw his
heartbroken family.

Speaker 14 (46:38):
How hard.

Speaker 6 (46:39):
That's very hard.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
And his girlfriend or his wife, I don't know who.
I thought I might have been his sister. Maybe he
was across the street hysterical. Yeah, So what we know
is they didn't have body cameras. They're going to slow
down some of their stops when it comes to traffic stops.

(47:03):
I think they need to rather than slow that down,
amp up the training they have and get better information
because another situation like Houston last week, where you have
gone to an area to get somebody who no longer
resides or works in that place. So I think there

(47:26):
needs to be a fix when it comes to a
lot of things, because the numbers, and we care about numbers,
are saying this isn't a good situation. The amount of
shootings that have taken place since Trump has taken office
for part two are huge compared to what it was

(47:48):
during two Obamas, one Trump and a Biden. So sixteen
years compared to sixteen months. So is this an anomaly?
I don't think it is the hiring process or is
it the training. All of those need to be answered
because this cannot continue to go forward. People in America

(48:12):
voted for Trump partially because they wanted to fix with immigration,
of which some of that is removing people that are
here that are bad, is getting immigration sorted out. But
this isn't what they wanted. Let me know what you think.

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

Speaker 2 (49:53):
You guys know my love of Nick Cage, and I
thought for sure yesterday Nick Cage was gonna try to
buy it. Buy what you say, the giant dinosaur that
was for sale the best and I'm talking about the
absolute best specimen of a t rex ever sold yesterday.

(50:14):
And it wasn't sold for cheap. I will tell you
that right now. But Gus, he's a specimen. He's put
together right. This wasn't some willy nilly thing where you
got like a thigh bone and a head and part
of an arm nw. This was like, this is the
thing you display in your house, if your house is
big enough.

Speaker 9 (50:34):
Gus is one of the biggest and most complete t
res ever found.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
It was found by commercial paleontologist Thomas Hikamp and his team,
commissioned in twenty twenty one to find fossils on a
South Dakota ranch. They spotted one bone a needle in
a sixty five hundred acre Haystack Pike Camp, making the
case for private funding for such excavations.

Speaker 22 (50:56):
We're in some pretty remote, dense areas that are hard
to get to you, that are expensive to get to,
that are logistically dangerous.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
No one else is looking at those places.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
No, because for everyone that gets it right, how many
people are out there digging up dinosaur bones. That takes
a lot of money. It's why you need that old
guy there from Jurassic Park to show up at his helicopter. Yeah,
that's what I'm talking about. Welcome to It's not that though,
because we're just rebuilding the bones.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Digging us up and rebuilding the skeleton took years. Now
it's payday. The colossal price tag is unearthing concerns about
its scientific value and who will have access to it.
A recent study found that the majority of discovered t
Rex fossils are privately owned, making it harder for museums
to acquire specimens as prices rise.

Speaker 15 (51:45):
If we want to understand how smart t rex was,
what it ate, how it moved, what its world was like, its.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Environment was like, this fossil really is a crown jewel.
I get it. And this one is right, This one
is a Crown Jewel. The Crown Jewels kids. They don't
want to come a.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Cheap dinosaur fossils a hot commodity for the super rich.
Another t Rex stand sold for more than thirty million
dollars in twenty twenty, and Estegosaurus apex sold for almost
forty five million and twenty twenty four. In both cases,
the buyers loan the fossil to museums.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
I will tell you this right now. We got to
get out there and start doing it. We got to
start finding dinosaur bones so we can keep this thing
going right here on the Chad Benson Show Naked.

Speaker 23 (52:30):
So it's not only you that can enjoy this, but
millions of people.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
That's how you can make a real impact. So Chad
tell us how much fifty point one million dollars. That's
how much Gus sold for fifty point one And at
the beginning of this I brought up Nicholas Cage. As

(52:54):
you guys know, my love of Nick Cage, the world's
greatest actor, period case, end of story. And the reason was,
if you go back a few years, you remember Nick
freaking Cage got into a bidding war with Leonardo DiCaprio
for a Torontosaurus buitar skull. He won it. He paid
two hundred and seventy six thousand dollars for it. So

(53:17):
they were battling it out. Now this no, no, I'll
do this, No, I'll do this now. This was March
two thousand and seven. Then they found out that it
was actually smuggled out of Mongolia. Now Nick Cage, being
the great upstanding individual that he is, said I don't
want it, and he gave it actually back to Mongolia.
But this battle began the battle to buy dinosaur stuff.

(53:40):
He has several other dinosaur pieces, including an Alasaurus which
is valued over a million dollars. He had a Mosesaur
skull which he had to sell in a divorce auction
to Russell Crowe for a million dollars. But I tell
you what, Nick, good on you forgiving that thing back. Brother.
What would you collect? What do you collect? If you

(54:02):
collect anything, let me know. I'd love to hear from me.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three
at Chad Benson Show, is your acts, your Insta, your
YouTube and all of the other good things coming up?
What is Tan Maxing? We got your urban word today?
Among other things. That's all straight at right here on
the Chad Benson Show, then Chad.

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

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, white women. It's not
him at the coffee bar. She's not streaming from her.

Speaker 24 (54:53):
Car, fat traight, so breda ghd telling workers.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
What they ought to be.

Speaker 12 (54:59):
Let me is that your experiences again over everyone.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
For every human sin, but flocks you with your don't
shun in. It's white woman.

Speaker 20 (55:11):
Wenesday, the white women doing what white women do, saving
the world as we enjoy progressive white women mostly.

Speaker 25 (55:21):
Not an exaggeration when I say that white people make
racism their entire personality. If you don't believe me, literally,
just look at the social media post. There is an
actual white boy who creates content like this every single
day and it goes viral on Instagram and this specific
post has.

Speaker 15 (55:34):
Over one hundred thousand likes.

Speaker 25 (55:35):
I'm not going to say who it is or what
his account is or what his username is, and if
you know who it is, please don't comment it because
I'm not trying to boost his social but it's honestly
just embarrassing, like without the existence of black and brown
people in the US, white people would have nothing to
talk about. And that is not an exaggeration in any way,
share or form.

Speaker 14 (55:51):
This is just reality.

Speaker 25 (55:52):
And so when people say, oh, why don't you go
back to your own country? When people are racist like that,
they are saying that, but they don't actually mean it
because they enjoy having a class. In America, people enjoy
having a hierarchy so that they can put other people
down to make them feel better. Again, I was raised
in a very conservative area and environment, So if you
don't believe me, just go boxing on my other video
or just talk to other white people, because I'm literally
an expert on this point. It's embarrassing. So yes, if

(56:14):
you're a white person and you're in this scene, just
take a second and reflect and realize that you would
be nothing without the ability to hate on these people.

Speaker 14 (56:21):
So find a hobby.

Speaker 25 (56:23):
I don't know, get your kid together. It's crazy that
you don't have anything better to do.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
WHOA I had no idea that white people sit around
all day and think of how to hate on people
of color and that's their only meaning for existence. You
guys do know that this is all a joke, right,
I mean, she takes it seriously fighting the social justice fight.
When you're young. You can do that, right. People who

(56:50):
are struggling to pay their bills. Okay, so you're out there,
you're struggling to pay your bills. Maybe you're married, maybe
you're not. Maybe you have a kid, maybe you don't.
But what what ever it is, you don't have the
luxury to worry about the ills that, for the most part,
don't exist outside of angry people on the internet. That's

(57:15):
why when we talk about stuff like communism and all
shack stuff, we joke because it is very much a
privileged ideology to have. It's very privileged. You don't see
revolutions that really start with the poor. It doesn't happen

(57:37):
that way. It's the well to do who are usually
rather bored and are on the inside and sick and
tired of the way things are who shake things up,
but they don't want to live in the systems they create.
But that I just that stuff is it's crazy. I
just laugh at stuff like that. And that's Kylie. She's

(57:58):
our favorite, and anybody who's her, I go on her
her stuff because we enjoy your content because she makes
us laugh. And I push back on anybody who's mean
to her because I think it's crap. You know what,
She's got her own damn opinion. Let her have her own.
Damn you got your own, damn opinion. I got my own,
damn opinion. Will if everybody have their own opinions, and
it's one thing to go, I disagree, it's another thing

(58:20):
to go. You're evil and you should die. Those are
separate things, separate things. Meanwhile, here's another thing that's privileged.
Tan maxing. Lots of maxing going on in the world.

Speaker 15 (58:33):
My sister at the beach.

Speaker 9 (58:35):
We're gonna see how tammy can get tonight. As record
heat roasts America, more and more young people are baking
in that peak summer suns in the name of a
viral trend, tan maxing or sun maxing, the general goal
to spend hours in the sun with little to no sunscreen,
even tracking the UV index, to catch the strongest rays,

(58:56):
to build the darkest, most even tan possible matic tan lines,
often seen as a bronzed badge of honor.

Speaker 14 (59:03):
Would you consider yourself a tan maxer?

Speaker 2 (59:08):
I would not, And the reason is I have red
hair and fair skin, and if I go by a
light bulb, there's probably a good chance I am going
to get sunburn. I don't go out during full moon,
not because I'm a werewolf, because I don't want to moonburn,
so I wouldn't, oh for sure.

Speaker 9 (59:29):
Florida based content creator Sasha Nicole Smith says she tans daily.

Speaker 26 (59:33):
I don't personally use sunscreen, but I know my skin
tight very well. But I would do it in very
small doses and in moderations.

Speaker 14 (59:41):
Is the goal like a deep dark tan?

Speaker 12 (59:44):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (59:45):
Always.

Speaker 26 (59:45):
Me and my friends and other people that I know.
We just feel and look better when we're tan.

Speaker 14 (59:50):
Do you worry about skin cancer down the line?

Speaker 1 (59:54):
I do.

Speaker 26 (59:55):
I think if I was a lot fairer, or if
I was more prone to burning, I would be a
little bit more concern.

Speaker 9 (01:00:00):
But for dermatologists, alarms about the glowing trend are growing louder,
scale of one to ten, ten being the worst. How
much does this trend of tanmaxing alarm you as a dermatologist, I.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Would say fifty gazillion. My grandma So who since passed away,
but she didn't pass away because of this. She used
to go and get as brown as possible. She'd put on.
You know, back in our day, there was no uv
that we really paid attention to, right, like, oh yeah,
this is SBF fifty or whatever she would put on

(01:00:36):
like cooking oil or anything like that to get as
brown as possible. That's you know, that was just kind
of the thing back in the day. It's not that
way anymore.

Speaker 14 (01:00:46):
We now know it's definitely a ten Son is a
silent killer.

Speaker 9 (01:00:50):
Doctor Michelle Henbry says young people addicted to tanmaxing come
into her office repeating misinformation, like.

Speaker 25 (01:00:56):
One of my patients described a base tan as being
as safe as sent speed, and that's really incorrect.

Speaker 14 (01:01:02):
Another myth. She says, we have zero evidence that sentren
causes cancer.

Speaker 9 (01:01:07):
Melanoma rates have been on the rise for decades, with
an estimated one hundred and twelve thousand new cases expected
this year according to the National Cancer Institute, but denial
about the danger is nothing new. Case in point this
NBC News piece from more than thirty years ago.

Speaker 25 (01:01:24):
I guess I run a risk of getting skin cancer,
but I like the beach and I like being in
the sun.

Speaker 9 (01:01:30):
Now a new generation is obsessed with being bronze.

Speaker 25 (01:01:34):
When these trends become popular and it becomes a part
of the culture, it's very difficult to weave that out
of the fabric of that generation.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Yes, and I've seen the In fact, i've seen some
of these tan maxers, and they want to get so
dark and look a little bit of sun.

Speaker 23 (01:02:00):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
I mean, you do look a little healthier and whatnot.
But some of these people I've seen, it's it's uncomfortable
to see how tan they are. You like, Oh, and
I never had that because I just couldn't, no matter
how hard I tried. And I grew up, you know,

(01:02:21):
in southern California go to the beach because it was cheap, right,
playing soccer out of the sun all the time. I
no matter how hard I try, it could not get tan.
But there's a difference between trying to get tan and
getting cooked.

Speaker 9 (01:02:37):
Doctors have talked about this dichotomy as well, and they say,
in short, young people, and we talked about this in
the piece, haven't feed a lot of misinformation about the
benefits of tanning versus the risks. Same story on sunscreen,
doctor Henry you saw talked about that, and they're also
getting a lot of immediate validation for how good and
a lot of people say how healthy they look with
a tan on social media, while at the same time

(01:02:58):
the risks of skin cancer and long term term damage
from the sun those are decades away, and young people
not being worried about their health way down the line
like that. That is, of course a tale as old
as time.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
It is. I think we know that. It is a
tale as old as time. Not many of us. When
you're young, you think you're going to live forever, It's
not going to happen. We know that. Would you saw
you ran passway at seventy one, seem to be healthy,
You think you have forever in front of you, and
you don't. You don't. It's you've got to Now we're

(01:03:32):
extending life. Things of that nature that we're looking at,
and we're extending life. Not only are we extending it
in a sense that yeah, it's different from living to
you know, from seventy four to you know to seventy eight. No,
we're living longer and we're healthier longer, we're able to
do more. But as I try to explain that extra

(01:03:57):
five or ten years is great at the end if
you're healthy, But at sixteen, you know, you think you're
going to live forever. That that that's seventy year old
you is never coming and I'll be fine. It's it's
not true. You guys know that, and we know. And
the weird thing too is we know, you know, talk

(01:04:17):
about trust and information disinformation, that's also a part of it.
I mean, I think you can start, you know, the
more that the internet's available to us, the more that
people are looking to affirm their beliefs, the more that
people are looking for am I getting the truth? And
that includes things like you know, chat, GPT and and
you know Claude and everybody else, Gemini and asking them

(01:04:40):
for medical advice and trying to steer them towards the
answer you want and and you know web md, and
then you start going down, you know, with COVID and
this misinformation disinformation stuff. It's there's very little trust. So
we then go, well, you think you're gonna live forever,
and you trust you more than the experts, which isn't good.

(01:05:02):
Which isn't good speaking of trust or not trust. Tomorrow night,
Trump making a big announcement about election frogs. Fraud, fraud, fraud,
not frogs. We're gonna be funny.

Speaker 24 (01:05:16):
We found out that the frogs, Uh, you don't understand,
there were frogs and they hate Trump. There the Trump
hating frogs are they're not good, that they're not good,
and so.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
We found out they cheated. But he's going to make
some sort of announcement tomorrow and again speaking of not trust,
what that is, I don't know. It has to do
with Georgia. And there's rumors swirling that this is going
to be about ass Off and Warnook and that they
may not actually have won.

Speaker 22 (01:05:47):
There's talk that he might try to declare me and
Raphael Warnock illegitimate senators. Obviously, the president has no power
to do that, but he does have the power to
try to intimidate people. He's demonstrated his will to abuse power.
I expect him to use whatever he puts out there
on Thursday as a pretext either for some attempted unconstitutional

(01:06:10):
use of federal power to interfere in the election, or
to give his proxies and loyalists in state and local
jurisdictions some cover for whatever they might attempt, or to
lay the groundwork for challenging the result. And the bottom
line is that this is a real and live threat
to voting rights in the United States right now, and
perhaps the most significant we've faced since the nineteen sixties,

(01:06:32):
and I'm asking folks again to help me defend voting rights.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
I'm going to tell you that's John ass Off there.
There's not been any proof. There hasn't and I don't
trust whatever they're trying to do. And I have said
this from jump and you guys go back and listen. Maduro.
Maduro is facing forever in jail. Wouldn't it be weird

(01:07:00):
if he came up with some wacky confession that says
we stole the election And the next thing, you know,
they're like, well, now that he's admitted that, because he's here,
and that's been one of the things swirling around. It
was the Chinese. No, it was the Venezuealans. They did it.

(01:07:23):
Even Jim Kennedy, who you guys know, Jim's not really magna,
but he's uber conservative and that's what we love about Jim.
He's a straightforward, honest guy. Even said yesterday, look a
lot of stuff. I agree with this though. I'm just
done with this, and it is really hurt our trust

(01:07:44):
in even local governments at this point in time. And
I'm curious is to see what he rolls out. But
I just have a sense that it is going to be.
I'm telling you the Maduro thing is going to be
in there somewhere. Absolutely, let me know what you think.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
If you like talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
You've come to the per fixed place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
We're continuing on with our urban words, or we're doing
soccer slang right now because the World Cup is going on.
The semi final game Number two is today. But we're
going to use a phrase that I heard a couple
times yesterday in the game that I know several of
you probably go, I have no idea what that means,
because a lot of you be watching the game, and
I appreciate that, and you said, hed on your advice.

(01:10:23):
I started watching some of this and you've asked me questions. Well,
guess what, we got a little answer for that slang.
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 24 (01:10:34):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
It's called the urban word of the day. All right, So,
yesterday Spain beat France. France obviously led by killing Nimbape,
their superstar. How did they win? They got in his
pocket and you're like, what they were in his pocket?
The whole game, being in a player's pocket meets you're

(01:11:01):
keeping them under control. Okay, it's when a defender is
Markuka in particular, Was and Pedro were all over the
front line. They were in their pockets. They gave them
no time on the ball. They couldn't do anything when
they did have the ball. They were in the pocket

(01:11:22):
of those players. In the pocket is your urban word
of the day.

Speaker 6 (01:11:26):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Now, you know, as I told you guys, I'm excited
for the game today, and I did give you my pick.
Some of you are like, are you sure England's going
to win today? I'm not sure about any of it.
If I was totally one hundred percent sure about all
of it, I wouldn't be here. I'd be on my
giant boat somewhere relaxing, enjoying myself, floating around because I'd

(01:11:54):
made billions of dollars. I just have a feeling that
England is gonna get it done. An extra time, extra time,
I keep saying, extra time. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your
ex your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook, and all of the
other good things. If you're missing the show, please grab
the podcast. Helps us out right here on the Chad

(01:12:15):
Benson Show. Coming up a lot of good stuff still
to get you. A little one hit wonder Wednesday, m
M great one. Today we're gonna get grooving and moving. Also,
we got a little watch trending. Find out what's trending
out there, because there's lots of stuff trending out there,
including this horrible Uncle Sam's revenge. That's what I'm calling it.

(01:12:36):
The cyclosporiasis, which makes it seem like you have psoriasis,
which is not that it is growing, if you will
in numbers talk a little bit about that. More on
Iran as well. A bunch of other good things on
the way. Reach out to us again across all of
our social media. Love hearing from you. Our number three

(01:12:57):
is straight ahead. This is the Check Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Communism coming to America. It's here, and it's going to
destroy us all and we cant stop it, and we
need millions and billions of dollars to do it, says
Mike Johnson.

Speaker 16 (01:13:44):
They don't want prisons. It's in their platform. They want
to remove the carcoral state. They said no prisons. They
don't want to fund the police.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
This is not a game.

Speaker 16 (01:13:54):
Everybody needs to understand. These crazy little mini mom donnies
who are popping up all around the country. They were
a danger to you and your family. This is not
a game. If they promise you free stuff, there is
far more beneath those promises that even some of these
people do not understand themselves. And so we are here
as the Republican Party to stand on the founding principles
of the greatest nation in the history of the world.

(01:14:15):
It is our duty to do that, and we're doing
it on behalf of all of you, even the journalists
who don't agree with our policies all the time, you
better agree on these principles because that's what keeps you free.
By the way, it's what keeps the press free. Okay,
this is essential for your well being and your family.
This is not a game. This is not our father's
Democrat party. We're not arguing over marginal tax rates anymore.

(01:14:39):
We're arguing over whether or not freedom is going to survive.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Freedom is going to be fine. I worry more about
our politicians, not DSA or Conservatives, but looney tunes out
there who are running amok in the world of politics
more than I worry about They're not. Communism is going
to take us over. But remember this, guys, we talked

(01:15:03):
about all the time. Fear is a huge seller. So
how do you sell fear well? First and foremost, you
got to get on all the shows, right, You got
to get all the talking ed you check. Capitalism is
taking everything over. It's gonna do this, and it's gonna
do that, and it starts as socialism and the next thing,
you know, it's over for us. We can't You're just

(01:15:24):
a fool. You don't get it. No, no, I get it.
You are getting played. You are Fear is the thing
that moves the needle.

Speaker 27 (01:15:37):
Now this the Democratic Socialists of America have unveiled their platform.
They want to eliminate This is just a small list
of what they want. Eliminate the Senate, replace the president,
and adopt a thirty two hour work week. They want
a utopian world without bills, mortgages, health insurance, or debt
or a bit wonderful.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
Yeah, that all sounds great. None of that's real. Right.
You can want what's the old saying in one hand
and wishing the other see which one fills up faster.
That all sounds great, that's your platform. That's okay, that's fine.
I mean there are other people out there who want
even more extreme things, and there are other people out

(01:16:17):
there on the right who want more extreme things. Settle down,
because when we talked about this a little bit in
the first hour, some of you started texting me ched,
you don't understand what they're doing. They're solely but surely
taking over. No, they're not small pockets of big cities.
Is not the average democrat, even in Middle America. It's

(01:16:39):
not this is not going to happen. Oh you don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:16:43):
Oh I know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
It isn't going to happen. It's not sustainable. They understand
that DSA has been around for a very long time.
The Communist Party of America has been around for a
long time. Joseph McCarthy, for God's sakes, had hearing after hearing, Ah, well,
he's put a stop to No, it's just not gonna happen.
That's not who we are, that's not how we're built.

(01:17:05):
Doesn't mean that people aren't pissed at the current system
who don't look at capitalism, not capitalism in a free market,
but crony capitalism, and now get frustrated when they see
millionaires worth hundreds of millions of dollars become billionaires worth
hundreds of millions, and even one of them worth a
trillion dollars and not think to themselves, Man, I went
to school, I came out, I got no job worth

(01:17:26):
a damn even if I do get a job, I've
got so much freaking debt because I was sold a
bill of goods. And what do I get. I get
an older generation who tells me to shut up, and
I don't work hard enough, and then I'm weak. Is
there some of that, There's a little frustration, and there
is some of that participation trophy, But there's a lot
of what the younger generation and the middle class are

(01:17:47):
saying that it is absolutely true. So it is great
to scare people. It's not a reality. Well, first of.

Speaker 28 (01:17:52):
All, that sounds absolutely magical. I'm sure they can pull
that off without killing hundreds of millions of people, just
like they've done in the past. No, this is this
is not workable system as we have seen in history.
If people have lost sight of that, I do think
some of the people standing up by the way, if
you look at some of this polling from the Michigan
Democratic Senate candidacy are primary where you have l Saed

(01:18:13):
on one side the far left, and then you have
Hailey Stevens as the more moderate candidate. You have black
voters splitting sixty seven percent for Hailey Stevens versus white
voters who are much more in favor of l sied.
Affluent white voters in their party go left, go left,
go left. The median black voter is much more moderate,
and by the way, they don't like socialism. And further,

(01:18:36):
you can't just yell Islamophobia at them. If they are
declining to vote for someone who is a socialist but
whose name is el Sayeed, it's going to be tough
for them. But those folks are actually trying to put
the brakes.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
On, yes, because there's a lot of average Democrats out
there who don't buy into any of this stuff. They don't,
but it's fear right. It's the same way the left goes.
Trump sinnazi. Trump is absolutely going to destroy America and
take over everything, appoint himself king. I mean, we've heard

(01:19:13):
it all, because the fear factor is the thing that
sells everybody. If I can get you scared, I can
move the needle. If I can freak you out, I
can get you to act, because it's way easier than
having an honest conversation. Because an honest conversation is a conversation.

(01:19:34):
It is not built in screaming or yelling or any
of this stuff. And do I think a vast majority
of their ideas are wacky. Of course, the DSA is
full of wackados crazy, and that's Mary Catherine Aham talking
about the thing that we've been talking about forever. These

(01:19:55):
ideas are luxury ideas. Poor people don't go, oh, we
need to use everybody's pronouns and we need to abolish this.
And we did have no no, you know what they're
thinking about, how do I put food on the table,
pay my rent, keep my head above water. It's a

(01:20:15):
luxury idea, that's what it is. The average person hustling, working,
it's a luxury idea. So we joke we do white
women Wednesday, right, you guys, here's do white women Wednesday.
You know what they are. They're uber educated, in many cases,
overly educated, privileged white women who for whatever reason have

(01:20:40):
decided that America is evil and bad and it should
be destroyed and just knocked down all the way to
the studs and rebuilt in some bizarre world of utopia unicorn.
It's so we only wealthy people have those ideas. They
get people to buy in on them, but for the

(01:21:03):
most part, it's the wealthy that have those ideas, and
the right is doing the right's a great great at
scaring you. The left. They tried really hard with Trump
and it didn't work because what the left did was ridiculous.
Especially when we talk about Trump, we're really talking about
Biden in them. But the right is great at saying,

(01:21:23):
well socialism. First of all, who's got socialism outside of
a few countries? Slash communism? China? China is an authoritarian,
capitalistic society. They couldn't survive on socialism. Soviet Union fell apart.

(01:21:46):
You've got Cuba, which is a hot mess. You look around,
who has it. The last nation that truly tried to
do a socialistic plan was probably Sweden in the seventies,

(01:22:08):
and it basically bankrupt their country and they said, yeah,
we're not doing this anymore. They're a capitalist society that
has a higher tax system and a social safety net.
But they're not insane. They're not. Yes are some people,
and it's just easy. You find the craziest people. You

(01:22:30):
put them on television, you say, everybody's like this. That's
how you do it. There, you go, uh iran, real quick,
what's going on over there right now? Nothing? We're going
to bomb them until we can't bomb them anymore. Apparently
it's kind of where we're going with this. On top
of that is we fight over the strait? Are we

(01:22:51):
going to charge a toll? Are we not going to
charge a toll? What's the deal with that?

Speaker 29 (01:22:57):
This fight is now focused on a battle for the
Strait of Hormone, which ship's worriable to pass through freely.
Before the war started, Iran has been firing on cargo
ships and American allies. The US overnight launching a seven
hour wave of strikes aimed at degrading Iran's ability to
threaten commercial shipping, and the President says these attacks will
escalate in the coming days.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
He has also said that we're not going to charge
a toll, but they're going to invest in US, and
we're going to protect that. I don't you know, I
don't know. Here's what I know. Oils up, Gas prices
are going to go up as well. As we're starting
to feel that because we got kind of good news
yesterday about about you know, inflation cooling a little bit.

(01:23:39):
The fact is you're going to have more expensive stuff
coming to us, if you will, food, gas, energy prices,
all that. That's it's going to get more and more
expensive in the coming months and where it ends. I
don't think anybody really knows at this moment's time, partially
because I don't think Trump knows ex exactly what is next.

(01:24:02):
I think he's flying by the seat of his pants
when it comes to this. You know, he said yesterday,
after saying he was going to charge a toll, he
got a bunch of phone calls from the Emirs and
from Kings and everybody we love, and they said, don't
do that. And no, they called because they were pissed.
And he was talking about charging twenty percent, which you're thinking, well,

(01:24:24):
is it high? Yeah, that's high. Who do you think
that gets passed on to. Let's just say we did that.
There was no way for us to actually enforce it.
But let's say we did that. What do you think
what's going to happen to the cost of life for
all of us? Yeah? More expensive? More expensive. So we'll see,
we'll see what is going to take place in the

(01:24:47):
coming days. But I have a feeling this is going
to go on. As our guy Mike said yesterday, my
military analyst, I'm feeling this go on for quite a while.
It's unfortunate, say the least, coming up a little what's trending?

Chad Beenson Show. Republicans are questioning DEI impact on medical
school training because of course main shooting, Amy Cony Barrett

(01:29:18):
and England v Arion Dina World Cup semi Final two
and that'll be happening, said Day. One of the other
things that's trending is inflation, because as we all know,
inflation is not I mean, it's a necessary part of things,
means that you're functioning. Okay, it's the amount of inflation

(01:29:40):
that is an issue. And it's then has to do
with how much money you make, because inflation goes up
seven percent, but you got nine percent rays every year,
Well you're two percent to the good. The reality is
that's not happening though. And now with us getting more
into conflict with Iran and turning this in to buy,
the sounds of it something a little bit more full

(01:30:02):
blown than we had before. Yeah, I think that we're
gonna see inflation start to shoot way back up.

Speaker 30 (01:30:07):
Things like jet fuel costs have already gone back up,
diesel fuel has gone back up. That shows have been
every single thing that we ship out there. And it's
already showing up at the grocery store as.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
Well, Yes it is. And you couple that with the
diarrhea stuff, and it's just a nightmare at the grocery store.
Don't go to the grocery store. Drink water, stay home, HI,
drate and hopefully this will be over soon. Oh my
stomach hurt yesterday and my first thought is, oh God,
I hate a taco bell and normally but there was
days ago. But it says it can take anywhere between
two and two days and fourteen days for it to

(01:30:38):
take effect. But I'm not worried because apparently it's not
taco bells here in Tennessee. So thank god for that
coming up. Very interesting. This guy left Mecca. Now he
is taking out billboards across the country called Leaving Maga
dot Org. I'm gonna talk a little bit about him.
Thanks Jet Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
I came across this the other day because this guy
named Rich Logis is putting up billboards all over the
country called Leaving Maga dot Org. It's an organization he started,
and I had seen him briefly on a couple podcasts.
Didn't really know what it was because I read a

(01:31:42):
thousand things a day. I look at a thousand things
a day, and I thought when I saw the billboard, oh,
I want to look into this. And I found it fascinating.
Both the right and the left live in echo chambers.
And I'm not talking about you and I the average person.
I mean, you know, i'd rather talk about aliens in
world cup. But some of you yell at me, we're
doing about suckers. I'm to sport. I get that a lot.
The reality, though, in the business that I'm in is

(01:32:05):
my goal is not to go out and to feed
you like a lot of other people in my business.
I'm gonna be as straight as you can right now.
So many people in my business feed you crap because
it works for them to sell you bs and to
continue to affirm you, even though many of them don't

(01:32:28):
buy it at all. But you're part of the business.
You're a customer, and the customer is always right. So
I'm gonna give you what you want, even if it's
wrong for you. So I thought, I want to find
out what this guy is all about, and I'm working
on getting him on next week to pick his brain.
And when you hear people say mag as a cult,

(01:32:49):
TDS goes both ways. There is Trump derangement syndrome out
there where people for the last umpteen years live in
a world of derangement over Trump just being anywhere near anything.
And there are people out there that will defend Trump
no matter what he does. So I thought, interesting, We'll
see what this guy's all about.

Speaker 23 (01:33:08):
Hi, everyone, This is Rich Logis, executive director of Leaving Maga.
I'm one of those who fell down the MAGA wormhole.
For six years, I was very active. I had a
regular radio gig, and I wrote op eds for far
right outlets, hazing democrats, owning the Libs with the best
of them. I even started my own MAGA podcast. I
was all in, and yet here I am talking with

(01:33:29):
you today. Before I go any further, I would like
to apologize for the harm I have caused our country.
I am speaking out to make amends for my past
deeds and rhetoric.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
Okay, So that's how he starts his kind of mayacopa
on the interwebs. But I got introduced to him, if
you will, as far as finding out who he was,
on a podcast that I found very interesting. So there's
a podcast out there and it's daughter and son and
mom and dad and it's called The Necessary Conversation. And

(01:34:03):
Mom has been and Mom and Dad like Dad is
Newsmax one American News Fox. He has sold for the cause.
Mom has softened because she's not thrilled by a lot
of this. And then you've got you know, daughter and
son who are very much to the left. So it's
a very interesting thing that they do. I find it interesting.

(01:34:27):
So he went on their their podcast and some of
the stuff that he had to say about you know,
how he got to maga world, if you will.

Speaker 23 (01:34:35):
I called him a day, and that they were mostly Democrats, liberals, progressives,
anti Trump, Republicans who were trying to abridge my rights
and trying to indoctrinate my children, you know, they who
were trying to take my guns or trying to turn
America into a communist or socialist country. That there was

(01:34:57):
a day trying to replace white people with brown people
and foreigners. That there was a day trying to persecute Christians,
trying to secularize America. These were beliefs that I sincerely held,
and I knew others who also held them. So I
struggled with a lot of late nights with just my
thoughts and I having to grapple with the fact that

(01:35:21):
I had been lied to, that I had believed those lies,
and perhaps worst of all, I had created an entire
persona buttressed by those lies.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
And that's the identity side of it. Look, I've never
been maga. You know. People are like, well, you did
a video or you endorsed. I said, yeah, because my
choice between Kamala and this, and based on the four
years prior to this, the amount of people that were
allowed here. And you guys listened to my show for
any number of years. You know the minute that Biden
went on in the first debate during their first race

(01:35:54):
against each other, and he said, I'm going to find
a way to give a pathway to all of these people.
I said, I can vote for him because I know
what's coming next. And lo and behold it. Did the
Democrats give me somebody good? I'm willing to listen, I'm
willing to look. If you give me somebody crazy, I'm
gonna call you out every day. And the problem with

(01:36:15):
what has become of the Maga movement is what started
out of something being against the establishment became performative, chaotic,
half truths, full lies. I mean, it became something that
just it transcended any political world and turned into absolute

(01:36:39):
political theater, caricatures. So Democrats, you failed to provide a
decent candidate, You couldn't get your stuff together, and you
lied to the American people on numerous occasions, Covid being
one of them. On numerous occasions. There was BS about COVID.
We recognize that, not all of it, but a lot
of it. Number Two, you had a guy in the

(01:37:02):
White House there was absolutely incapable of doing the job.
You hid and you lied about it. So there was
a lot that went into it. Do I wish there
was another president? We have who we have, We're going
to write it out and then we'll get somebody new.
It is what it is. Am I thrilled by what's
going on? You guys know, if you listen, I'm not

(01:37:23):
and has nothing to do with him as a person.
To across the board. There's been way too many missteps
and bs. But when you get caught up an identity
like this guy did, it becomes something wholly different.

Speaker 23 (01:37:36):
And one point that I will make about leaving MAGA,
and I'm going to say this with some presumptuousness, so
if everyone will indulge me, I think most people in Naga,
deep down know that their support of Trump is wrong.
But I think that one of the reasons that it
makes it so hard to walk away in to admit

(01:37:58):
the error of one way is that we as I was,
and so many and people in MAGA are now so
deeply invested in the community. I don't think maga is
a cult. I think it is best understood as a
community where people have feelings of gathering and belonging, where
there's a shared purpose, and there's also a common identified enemy.

(01:38:20):
And I think that people are afraid to admit when
they are mistaken because it is not a natural act
for our species to apologize, especially publicly.

Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
That is so true. That is am I sorry that
I said he's the best of the two candidates? No,
because I never tell you who to vote for. I'm
sorry it's turned out this way. There's no doubt about that.
I'm sorry about that. But I'm also sorry that we
don't have better candidates in many cases that now it's

(01:38:52):
become political theater, and it's become about dividing and destroying
more than it's become about actually doing the things that
we need to do to get on. And so much
that is based on what how can I divide you?
How can I get you to listen to stuff and
pay only attention to me? Keep you in the echo
chamber because I've embraced you, I've embraced it, and we

(01:39:15):
have a common ende ofmy of the other side. Now
Rich here then goes on to talk about leaving the
actual act because he said there originally what started him
to make a move away from it was COVID, not
just the way it was handle, but the way that
he goes He was never an anti vaxxer, And what

(01:39:37):
ended up happening was he saw Ron Dea Santis put,
as he said, Wackadoo's up there, and he thought, no,
I don't buy this. You've been telling me all this
stuff for a long time. Now you're lying to my face,
and you want me to believe I'm an idiot, he said.
So he wrestled with things like that, but then he
had to make the decision to leave.

Speaker 23 (01:39:56):
It was beyond frightening for me because I knew that
leaving would mean that I was going to walk away
from my second family. And as embarrassed as I am
to admit this, my second family oftentimes took precedence over
my own blood family, and I spent time and money
that in hindsight, should have gone to my family into

(01:40:17):
my business. MAGA for me was an obsession, and I
knew that if I were, if I were going to
leave it, not only was leaving behind a second family,
but I had to also. I would have to also
acknowledge that so much of what it was that I
believed turned out to be a live falsehood or conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (01:40:42):
Yeah, and not all conspiracy theories are unhealthy. Some of
them are fun and they have a little grain of truth.
Some of them turn out to be real way down
the line because sistent fairies behind it, and some of
them turn out to be a way to you people

(01:41:03):
to get them to continue to live in the echo chamber.
That's why I tell you guys every day, challenge your beliefs.
Whatever I say, go challenge it. If I'm wrong, come
tell me I'm wrong, because I want to know. And then,
as like said, the Necessary conversation, he's on this podcast
talking about this, and this is where it gets interesting
because he starts talking about again the same thing I've

(01:41:24):
said is go to other news sources. Get away from
everything you hear.

Speaker 23 (01:41:29):
Just like I watched the last episode where were you,
guys were talking about the president and his sycophants in
the situation room with the Epstein files, and that was
something that you hadn't been aware of. You know, maybe
it's worth asking yourself why you don't hear about these stories.

(01:41:50):
And the reason is because the media that you're consuming
is doing what I call lying by withholding okay, and
they're not providing this information. You know, if if the
President trying to do damage control in the situation room

(01:42:11):
was fake news, Fox News would be all over it
and calling it fake news. But they stayed away from it,
you know, just like other Magamedia did. And I think
if you if you went on a Magamedia fast for
thirty days, I believe that you would see some of

(01:42:32):
your view shift. I say that actually with a very
high degree of confidence that that would happen.

Speaker 30 (01:42:37):
Maybe I should try that for two weeks, right.

Speaker 2 (01:42:43):
I know it would. Doesn't mean you can change your
entire outlook on stuff, and doesn't mean everything you hear
on the other side is one hundred percent right. But
you need to juxtapose what you're hearing in one area
with another area to get the clear story, and then
you can make because both sides do it because both
sides are serving an audience. That audience is their clients.

(01:43:06):
Those clients want to be affirmed, and in many cases,
both sides in the media world do what they're not
interested in actual information and truth they're interested in keeping
you around, so they'll leave out the things that may
hurt a position or may make you want to go
somewhere else. What do you think? Let me know three two, three, five,

(01:43:29):

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

Speaker 1 (01:44:40):
It's Chad Benson as we wrap up to.

Speaker 2 (01:44:43):
Day SHOWO Faction. Time to find out what our one
Hit Wonder of the day is. Now, if you guys
know what this is, you knew the show One Hit Wonder,
we delve into a song that was a hit. Sometimes
the song and the artist disappear. Sometimes you never ever
hear from any of them or the song again. And

(01:45:05):
sometimes the song sticks around forever, but you don't even
know who sings the song. And today is one of
those days where you hear the song, you start tapping
your toe. You know exactly what the song is, but
you have no idea who the artist is. Let's get
to it now.

Speaker 31 (01:45:20):
It's time for another edition of One Hit Wonder Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (01:45:31):
You may not remember the name of the.

Speaker 17 (01:45:33):
Band, but you definitely know the song.

Speaker 12 (01:45:42):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:45:46):
Even from this bruiser. This is One Hit Wonder Wednesday.
So this song came to us in nineteen seventy eight,
but didn't become a hit until nineteen seventy nine the
charts and sold a million copies here in the US
and millions worldwide. It only peaked at number sixteen on

(01:46:07):
the Billboard Hot one hundred. This song came at the
tail end of disco. Disco was at that point in
time started to be really a pariah. It was hated.
Remember that night in Chicago, the White Sox game, they
did the destruction of Disco night and they blew up
part of the field in the doubleheader in between and
they had to cancel the second game. Well, the song

(01:46:28):
kept motoring along and it became huge. Now you will
recognize the song, there's no doubt, but you won't recognize
the singer. His name is pat Hernandez. And when he
did this song, he said to himself, I only need
one song for me to make it. And he did.
And man, you know what, I think he was born

(01:46:49):
to be alive.

Speaker 18 (01:46:52):
As someone sat down people only a just deceive them farm,

(01:47:13):
deceive a.

Speaker 6 (01:47:16):
Farm farm.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
The song was a smash hit all over the world
and it stayed on the charts for a while. Not
only did the disco charts, but cross over into the
Billboard Hot one hundred peaked at number sixteen. Beauty of
the song, as he said, is it gave me amazing

(01:47:44):
comfortable life. Toured the world, and when he was touring
the first time singing this song, he had a backup
dancer by the name of Madonna. They dated briefly. He
enjoys his life, still goes out and sings all the
time this one song. But for a fleeting moment globally,
this was the biggest song in the world as disco died.

(01:48:07):
Oddly enough, a song called Born to Be Alive was
a song that somewhat kept it alive for a little while.
You see a farm far to be a night, you
see a farm.

Speaker 6 (01:48:26):
Farm.

Speaker 12 (01:48:29):
Far.

Speaker 5 (01:48:30):
I love it.
