Speaker 1 (00:00):
H h.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Trump is there, the world is watching. No, it's time
for Trump in China.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It was fun. Yeah, Trump's in China. Uh interesting already
to start it off? Hey, we are better together. We
should totally be pals. You want you want to be pals.
I mean, we're not gonna be best friends. But if
I had a clubhouse, I'd totally let you in a club, right,
that would be awesome. If you want to come hang

(00:47):
out at the club with me, we'd be cool. We
could be friends. Again. We're not gonna be best friends,
but we're better than being enemies. Is kind of you know,
what's going on? And the question around all of this,
obviously is Look, Americans are struggling. We are Prices have

(01:10):
gone up, people are feeling not as hopeful as they were.
We've got this disaster going on in Iran, and it's
a disaster. I don't care what anybody says. It's a
disaster that we're stuck in. And Trump's over there going

(01:30):
all right, we've got to talk tariffs. It's got to
be ai And he said, I don't really need him
for Iran. I don't now China's is hurting. It ain't
easy for but remember China, Iran, they're built in a

(01:53):
way to a stand more pain than we are. Trump
has to deal with an election, you know what. Right
now she doesn't have to. But she's got a lot
of issues. One of the biggest issues he's got is
a young man aren't working. Go look at revolutions and

(02:20):
overthrows if you will, of governments and regimes and whatever.
It starts with a lot of young men in particular
who don't work. Idle hands could bring you down. So
he's got issues, these issues right now. It's very cautious.

(02:41):
Right you have two heavyweights, and it has nothing to
do with their plumpness, but you got two heavyweights in history,
not just now, who are square enough trying to figure out, okay,
how do we do this. She feels he's got more
cards to play, and you'll hear a lot of people

(03:02):
say that, oh, you know, China's ready to crumble. This
is hurting them, it's hurting them. Yes, the whole thing
with the horror moves how much you know, oil and
energy they give in there except for one thing. They've
got one point three billion barrels that's a b in reserve,

(03:27):
so it's not as bad as it could have been.
But they've expected potentially one day something like this to happen,
so they've planned ahead. But it can't last forever, so yeah,
sooner rather than later. But he's also really doesn't have

(03:50):
to kind of force his hand to make Iran do
something right now because he's got no incentive to do
it at this moment in time. He doesn't and Trump
doesn't want to go there and make it seem like, well, dude,
we're getting our butts kicked, you got to come in
and help us. He doesn't want that either, So it's

(04:12):
this weird standoff. So the whole thing is talk around
it and go from there. But the one thing I
found interesting is Taiwan came up almost immediately. She says
to Trump, don't mishandle this. This could get ugly. This
could be a very dangerous situation. So and if I'm Taiwan,

(04:37):
what are you thinking right now? If you're Taiwan, Because
you know, Trump doesn't share the same kind of vision
that others in the past have had for Taiwan. Kind
of if you guys don't get involved, you know, just
let it do whatever it does. And we do with

(04:58):
it because it's all man, you know, everything will be okay.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
So again they're talking around the niceties, are there? You
know they did talk about Iran, but not so much
as will help as Hey, yeah, they shouldn't have a
nuclear weapon. We need to get the straits of horror
movies opened up. But that's only for the benefit of them.
It's not like they're doing it for us and saying, oh, yeah,

(05:29):
you need to open this up. Because let's be real,
if China could continue to get cheap oil from Iran
and it hurts us, they're happy with that, but they
realize they got to have it open up to everybody.
So look, a lot of niceties, a lot of you're

(05:50):
the greatest, You're the best. I can't wait. You should
come visit us today.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
President Trump and I have in depth exchanges on China
US relations and the international and regional dynamics. We both
believe that the China US relationship is the most important
bilateral relationship in the world.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
No doubt about that. I wish they had a different interpreter.
It would be funny if it was somebody would like
a Southern accent or something. Trump and I talk today,
and I'll tell.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
You what we think.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It's pretty good to be doing stuff together as friends,
especially when it comes to dollar bills.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
No, never anything fun like that.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
You and I have.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Known each other now for a long time, in fact,
the longest relationship.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
Of our two countries that any president and president has had.

Speaker 9 (06:46):
And that's to me an honor.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's an honor. We're pals, right, besties. You and I
super besties. Not really Trump admires, and I think at
times there's a sense of not just admiration for the person,
but for the power that g and the likes have,

(07:16):
which is it's your ship. You can do what you want.
For the most part, it's yours to run. And I
think that Trump likes that he likes to everybody said,
he likes the strong end. He doesn't like what they do, right.
I'm never gonna say Trump likes the fact that they
do the things they do, but he likes the I

(07:39):
can if I'm running the country, I should be able
to do the things that I want to do. We
should be able to get this done. And I think
it's more about the power than it is the person.
If that makes sense, continue.

Speaker 10 (07:54):
Sir, I'd now like to raise it glass and propose
the toast to the rich and enduring tie between the
American and Chinese people.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
It's a very special relationship.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Trump has invited the Yeaster Geaster over to these here
United States of America later on this year. Again, he
says he can totally come to the clubhouse. It'll be fine, man,
we'll hang out. I mean, you're not gonna be like
if we're sitting somewhere, you're at the table. You're like
not next to me, but you know you're kind of
at the table, so that'll be cool. So this is uh,

(08:29):
you know, we'll really start breaking it down. You know,
by the weekend, we'll have a better understanding of how
things went. Plus, when both of them get out of
the nicety world and into their world, well the other
one's not around, you'll find out more that way than
when they're standing next to each other. So we'll find

(08:54):
out again. AI is a big deal trade obviously, tariffs,
we don't need to you know, tear fork that hasn't
gone well, I don't care what Trump says, has some
magical thing that this was going to fix all this stuff.
And Iran maybe behind closed doors, but probably not as
much as I think people want, because Trump doesn't want
to have the sense that he is weak and that

(09:17):
we're suffering that much. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three, Atch hadventson show is your exture,
insta YouTube and everything else. This thing was replayed a
thousand times and will continue to be so.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
One extent are American financial things maintain motivating you to make.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
It feel not even a little bit.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
The only thing that matters is when I'm.

Speaker 10 (09:37):
Talking about Iran, they can't have a du glue weapon.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't think about American financial situation.

Speaker 9 (09:44):
I don't think about anybody.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I think about one thing. We could not let Iran
have a nu glue weapon. That's okay, and China agreed
with him. You know it's and that's such a bizarre
blanket statement. You know, it's like, I don't want anybody
to have a nuclear weapon, so I don't want some
you know, I don't want some desk. But I don't
want the Democratic Republic of the Congo to have a

(10:05):
nuclear weapon. Doesn't mean we should go in there and
invade them. We can all agree that may not be
a best thing, you know, I mean so I'm getting
very blanket. But it's the middle bit that hurts the most,
which is I really don't care about America's financial situation.
And that's going to be played over and over again.

(10:26):
And when you saw yesterday the PPI, the Producer Price
Index come out, and we're going to get into this
little later next hour with Zach Abram Chievestment Officer Borg
that is usually a precursor. So it's a head of
the CPI, the consumer Price Index, and those numbers yesterday.
Where how should I say this infuego? So when it

(10:51):
comes to you and I, we care about our lives,
the cost of our lives, the expense of our lives,
and right now life is far more expensive than it was,
and the money you're earning isn't outpacing the inflation and
the potential inflation that's coming. What do you think? Love

twenty four twenty three at Chad Benson Show. It is

up on the Chat Benson Show, We're going to talk
a little bit about the Ukraine, what's going on there. Plus,
they overturned his murder conviction. But not so fast, Chat
Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
He was convicted of murder, killing his wife and his
twenty two year old son, Alex. Murder. The story itself
kind of you know, because we live in this world
this we've turned murder into entertainment ID channel, all of
those things, Court TV, and this is one of those stories.

(13:32):
High powered attorney, political mover and shaker in South Carolina connections,
wife dead, twenty two year old son dead, stealing from
his clients. I mean, it had all this stuff. Well,
they overturned his conviction yesterday of murder. Now he's still

(13:53):
serving a lot of time for stealing from his clients,
but they overturned the conviction because the lady who's a clerk,
who was also writing a book when we come to
find out, let's just say, she had some things to
say to the jury.

Speaker 11 (14:14):
The issue that the court honed in on was the
fact that before he took the stand, she told these
jurors quote, not to be fooled by his attorneys, to
watch him closely, to watch his body movements, and when
they were about to begin deliberations, she told this jury that, quote,
they shouldn't take too long.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (14:32):
Ultimately, three of the jurors who they ended up questioning
said that they recounted these statements, and one of these
jurors said that those statements impacted the way she looked
at the case.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yes, now they're going to retry. This is not a
situation where he's getting out of jail, because he's already
serving a lot of time for he had federal charges
for stealing from his clients as well as state charges.
So he's not getting out. But could you She's standing
there and she's like, Hey, look, we got to use
the room. If there's any way you guys can get

(15:02):
this done really fast, that'd be super right. I got
things going on. I'm writing a book. So I'd like
you guys to get this done. Don't be swayed by
his attorneys. You're like, what the hell's going on here?
So they looked and they said, we you know, you
can't do that right, And this doesn't prove him innocent.

(15:23):
This just say he didn't get a fair shake. Plus
there was questions about whether or not the judge should
have allowed in his other conviction when it came to
stealing money from his clients, and whether or not that
should have been allowed.

Speaker 12 (15:39):
In the court based its decision on the conduct of
then Cotton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. As you know,
this conduct involved her in interactions with the jury at
that time. As the court said in the order, this
was conduct unknown to the state and other individuals.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh, Becky, what are you doing? Becky? Becky Becky three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is
your ex your instant and everything else ready in the
Chat Benson Show, you know, as we talk about what's
going on with Iran, and obviously because the effect that
has on us, there's still something else going on Ukraine

(16:18):
and that ceasfire is over and they have launched massive
attacks over the last twenty four plus hours, and it's
they're desperate. You can feel the desperation right now based
on a lot of things. The parade the other day
that's part of the big three day ceasefire, so they

(16:40):
could celebrate V Day, the Victory of Europe Day. And
you know, normally it's a massive thing and there's tanks
and there's missiles and all this stuff. They didn't have it.
It's very subdued and I think the booter is starting
to realize he's he's running out of runway here.

Speaker 13 (16:54):
Ukraine's saying it managed to shoot down about seven hundred
of those drones, which is obviously huge number, but still
the significant amount getting through and able to cause damage.
And I think what this attack does is it underlines
quite how meaningless this cease file was that was called
last weekend, this three day cease file that President Trump

(17:15):
pushed Ukraim to accept, and that Gladdam of Putin had
been demanding take place.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Massive struggle for the Russians right now, especially Putin. He's desperate,
There's no doubt, he's absolutely desperate, and you can feel
it getting worse and worse for him, which is a
good thing for the world, no doubt about that. Coming up,
we're going to talk a little Spencer Pratt, also World Cup,
among other things, Chad Benton Show.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Fun, Chad Benton Show.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Spencer Pratt. Can he actually win in Los Angeles? I
think it's possible. Do I think it's gonna happen. I'm
gonna tell you how worried they are right now. You
know what the latest thing is to get this guy.
So if you know anything about Spencer Pratt, he and
his wife they want a show called The Hills Heidi Montague.

(18:25):
It's been a very interesting thing with the run that
he has had to this position to maybe take over
as mayor of Los Angeles. He's conservative, he is, you know,
and this is La right like he is. You're going
up against the unions first and foremost. But they're desperate.
The unions are feeling it because he is making not

(18:49):
just noise at the local level, but on a national level,
pointing out the insanity and incompetence of Los Angeles, especially
after what took place last year and his house burning down,
among other things. And there were plenty of people's house
who burned down last year, and Karen Bass was, you know,

(19:12):
she was at the wheel. She was asked about, Hey,
you know, do you feel for him and what went on?
Do you have bear any you know, responsibility towards that.

Speaker 14 (19:24):
Well, you know what I have felt about Spencer all along,
because I've watched this very closely in the Palisades is
I understand obviously his personal tragedy and all of that,
but I think that it is really really sad to
play on people's grief and to create an atmosphere of
nothing is happening and hostility.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
There were absolutely mistakes.

Speaker 14 (19:47):
The city really was not prepared for a disaster of
that magnitude with a weather event that we had never
experienced before, and so hindsight is everything. But this also
was not just the city of Los Angeles, the county
as well, And when I talked to the fire department afterwards,

(20:09):
their response was, we are very used to Santa Ana wins,
but we have never had anything like this. And so
I think that the lesson for me and for Angelino's
is that now, given climate change, we have to expect things.
I mean, I'm born and raised here, so this is
the climate I know, and we now have to expect

(20:31):
things that we would have never imagined.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
She's an idiot. If you vote for her in your
Los Angeles you're an idiot. I don't get how. It's
not just about the fire. The fire was the catalysts
that pushed Spencer over the edge, but the years of

(20:59):
neglect to the city when it comes to allowing homeless
people to do whatever they want, whenever they want, as
if it's a lifestyle choice. To watch a city that
should be one of the most incredible cities and counties
in the country fall apart be governed by people who

(21:24):
do not give a rats ass about the average person,
care only about activists and these niche, weird things that
they focus on. Is fascinating to me. And yes, it's you.
You're the one that was in charge at the wheel.

(21:45):
You're the one who failed. You're the one who decided
through your insanity of trying to, you know, play this
game of it's climate change, it's this, it's that to
limit certain things. I mean, it is absolutely incredible to

(22:09):
think that anybody would vote to give you another term
as mayor. I mean, that is bizarre. But you could
tell they're worried because the latest thing is, Spencer Pratt,
where do you live? Because you kind of made it

(22:30):
look like you live in your airstream, But are you
standing at a hotel right like a really nice hotel.

Speaker 15 (22:37):
Campaign ad certainly made it seem that you were living
in that trailer.

Speaker 9 (22:43):
It was a high point of the commercial.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
But you're at the Hotel bel Air, So.

Speaker 9 (22:52):
Kind of undo that for us.

Speaker 10 (22:54):
No, to be clear, that is where excuse me, that
is where I live. That's where Karens, mayor of Baths,
burn down my house. That is where I will live
until I have a new house. The airstream is a
temporary facility. A hotel is a temporary facility. Where my
kids are in Santa Barbara right now is a temporary housing.
And this is where I live as this is where

(23:16):
they burn my house down. So this semantics for the
nuance of this is the consequences of their failed leadership.
And again, I don't live at the Hotel bel Air.
I don't live in the airstream. I don't live in
the Santa Barbara. I don't have a house. So for
these people that want to focus on where I sleep
at night, first off, I don't even sleep. I get

(23:36):
four hours of sleep because I'm fighting these corrupt, fricking
politicians all day long.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
So you're thinking, should this be a big deal? Right?
But you know it's become like the thing. This is
what they're focusing on. This is the scandal about Spencer Pratt.
Where would they live? Does he live in the right places? Hen?

Speaker 6 (23:56):
Does?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
He's just staying in the bell Are you kidding me?
This is the best you can do, and of course
TMCs on it.

Speaker 15 (24:02):
There's something to the point where you say in the ad,
this is where I live while you're standing in front
of a trailer. I think the reason that ad was
so effective with voters is because you did draw this
visual comparison of where the mayor lives, where Nitia Rahman.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Lives, and where you live.

Speaker 15 (24:21):
So you're showing where they live, and then you were saying,
this is where I live. But that is the last
month and a half.

Speaker 9 (24:26):
You've been at the bel Air Hotel.

Speaker 10 (24:28):
I haven't been at the Bellair Hotel for more than
six days in the last month.

Speaker 15 (24:32):
This is all public, but that's where you've been staying.
I know you may not have actually been in it.

Speaker 10 (24:39):
No, I've been in Santa Barbara where the La Times
reported where I lived and docks me that is where
I live period.

Speaker 15 (24:46):
But did you But are you saying you live in
that trailer?

Speaker 10 (24:50):
I don't live anywhere, is what I'm saying. I don't
have the house. They burned it down, Harvey, I don't.

Speaker 9 (24:56):
Have the house.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
You didn't have a house where you could be living
at a hotel? Okay, so he's there a few days
a week. Who gives a rats ass? Do you think
anybody cares? Let's ask some people on the street. Do
you care we.

Speaker 8 (25:09):
Were a displacement beach for a year because my cousins
live there.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
No, I don't think it's fair. Until you've lived what
we've gone through, you shouldn't criticize what anybody is doing.

Speaker 9 (25:19):
They lost everything and they need to be doing what's
best for their family.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
And yes, that's it, what's best for their families. Do
you think he would rather have his wife and kids
living in Santa Barbara against Santa Barbara's gorgeous I love
Santa Barbara rather than with him. Do you think he'd
rather have his home with the memories and his family

(25:43):
together rather than him campaign stay at a hotel one night,
stay somewhere else. The next night. Do you think that's
what he's aiming for, like this is some big scandal.
They're desperate because they recognize what's going on. The unions

(26:04):
are pushing hard because they want the status quo. I
think what you're gonna find, though, is you're gonna get
a break in some unions. The unions may pour money
into Karen Bass, but I think you're going to find
that there's going to be a lot of union members
that break. Just because the heads throw money at some
doesn't mean that the people are going to vote with them.

(26:27):
But it's not just about the fires. People are sick
and tired of this stuff. The one thing that I
continue to say the Republicans have going for them is
the insanity of the way that many blue cities and
blue ideas are run and implemented because there is doesn't

(26:50):
seem to be anything more than emotion and a lot
of the things that they do, and it just fascinates me.
Case in point this right, New Mexico dem Rep. Gabe
Vasquez says he's committed to defunding the police.

Speaker 16 (27:08):
We just saw a proposal also from Mayor pro tem
Ganda to bring some supplemental mental health care services to
our community that would actually assist first responders, the fire department,
the police department, or since sometimes actually replace them responding
to events all together with licensed psychologists, licensed clinicians that

(27:31):
you know, I was disappointed we didn't get further with
that discussion at our work session, But those are the
type of things that I'm committed to supporting. Where if
we do have to take budget away from a specific department,
whether it you know, be police or otherwise, I don't
think we have to.

Speaker 17 (27:47):
Because we have a budget that I think we can
support that currently. But we also have to look at
where the inefficiencies are, where the redundancies are, where we
would not rather respond with force or with police. And
you know, if we don't need those positions anymore, if
we don't need those budget line items anymore, then we
need to get rid of them. And that's that's a
decision I'm happy to try to champion at.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
The city council.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Good, go ahead, Calder. You know, I am fine with
bringing in some mental health specialists. I am fine with
bringing in people to help in that way. But you've
seen what's happened when cities across the country have decided, Hey,
you know what we're gonna We're going to show everybody
we're going to defund the police, the dumbest thing ever.

(28:30):
I said that from day one. If you want to
say reimagining the police, I get that. You want to
reimagine the police using technology in a modern way. That's
going to make everything safer, build more confidence among both
the police and the community. That's fine. But defunding the

(28:51):
police or We'll do whatever we possibly can to make
sure that we're that we're taking care of of the people.
And and and I'm the first one to say, yeah,
let's do it. I will sign off on getting rid
of that if we don't need it. Your nuts, you're not.
Who's that for? Who is that for? That's the beauty

(29:11):
of the Republican's opportunity to continue to hold power in
places even though they may not deserve it, because you
have crazy crazy is gonna do crazy things. You know
who the most popular mayor in the country is right now.
That's not in some small town that's the cat or whatever,

(29:32):
because that's always the is Mayor Daniel Lurry of San Francisco,
who is a Democrat. Why because he went in and
he said, yeah, you can't crap here anymore. No, you
can't sleep on the streets. No you can't run wild
and break things. No we're not gonna get rid of

(29:53):
the police. These things aren't gonna happen. And you doing
drugs in the middle of the st is not a
lifestyle choice.

Speaker 18 (30:01):
We are no longer going to tolerate people using drugs
on our streets. I'm not going to tolerate it as
a father, and I'm not going to tolerate it as
the mayor.

Speaker 8 (30:13):
There will be twenty four to seven nursing here. There
will be a social worker access, There will be peer supports,
meaning people with lived experience helping to motivate and work
with individuals here to get them connected to treatment into services.
Treatment for their drug use will not be compulsory or mandatory,

(30:35):
but the goal is to make sure that there are
there are folks with lived experience helping to motivate somebody
to get connected to treatment.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Simple as that, it goes on to talk about now
you're not doing drugs, You're not could do any of
this stuff we're going to and if you've people are
talking about San Francisco, the vibe is changed. Why because
he's moderate, he's not insane. He recognizes you need police. Yeah,
you need to have community involvement. Yeah, we've got people
here that have drug issues and we need to give
them help. We don't need to say it's a totally

(31:05):
cool to lifestyle choice. You do, you boo. Shouldn't be
that hard. It shouldn't. It shouldn't. And the fact that
Karen bass is even getting a second look is insane.
From anybody out there, you've lost your ever love and mind.
And yes, the fires with a catalyst that bring somebody

(31:27):
like Spencer Pratt into this. We need more people with
common sense ideas. Where are we going to find that?
Why would you want to be involved in politics in
today's world. It's a crazy thing, but we need more

We've got a lot of stuff today. We'll touch a
little bit on the World Cup because we know who
the halftime show is going to be in the final.
Got some text messages as well.

Speaker 19 (33:08):
Chad Benson shoe Ronnie with Scissors sounds great compared to.

Speaker 20 (33:21):
This, say, World Cup, I'm like twenty eight days away,
getting closer and closer.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
I'll tell you guys this right now. The World Cup
now has their halftime show for the final. Are you
ready for it? Shakira, Madonna and BTS will headline the
first halftime show at a World Cup final ever.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
What.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
So it's messing Latin pop and Korean music global event
right there. And I'm you know, they've never had this before.
They've got like an opening ceremony thing, they've got those things,
but they've never had the halftime show. And they say,
look what it does over there in America. And Shakira,
by the way, is always the the default go to

(34:20):
when it comes to World Cup music. She's just the
best and she's you know, a little easy on the eyes,
if you know what I mean. So it's pretty awesome
about that. So the first World Cup halftime show, and
I wouldn't be surprised if we get a little a
little more when it comes to you know, maybe a

(34:43):
guest or two that still may be coming. A lot
of text coming in about the World Cup, Chad, how
does FIFA justify charging ten times train fair for the
World Cup? Where does the money end up? All of
that stuff, like the train fair, all of the stuff
that you're seeing in the cities. Those are the cities
doing that. That's not FIFA. That's not FIFA at all.

(35:06):
That's the cities deciding what that people should pay to
get to these games. They don't control what goes on
as far as what the cities are charging, what the
states may be charging. So and I know yesterday the
Trump administration announced that they're waiving the bond that certain
nations we're gonna have to pay to get visas so

(35:28):
their fans could come here, which is good. Uh, don't
screw it up. Okay, that's all I'm saying. Trump in
your Administration. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, Your Extra Instant
and Everything Else Radio, The Chad Benson Show coming up,
our number two more on gi and Trump together, the
odd couple. What are they talking about? We're going to

(35:50):
discuss that. Also, she killed her husband. She got sentenced yesterday,
but before all of that, when she was trying to
sneak around she wrote a kid's book about grief and
how to deal with it. What she's just insane and
to discuss that as well. Plus her buddy Zach Abram,

(36:12):
Chief Bestment Officer polt Capital is going to join the
program as well. And the Haunt of Virus. There's a
case in Illinois. Is it the same? We shall discuss.
That's all straight ahead, A won of a two champlains.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
It's a big day.

Speaker 7 (36:56):
Has two come together, creating of force so big that
no buddy and human history has ever seen the power
in one place. Now it's time for Trump in China, China.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Trump is in China. Big day today, So big day today.
Lots of stuff going on, lots of meetings, got to
be a lot of meetings, probably lots of snacks as well.
Trump's like, i'd like McDonald's at China. Be fantastic, be great.
It's like eating Chinese food.

Speaker 9 (37:33):
Look at me.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
But the real issue is are they gonna talk about
it rant a little bit? There was kind of a
something already put out there when it came to Taiwan,
which is, hey, this is our jam, this is our thing.
I don't think Trump really cares about Taiwan. I honestly, god,
I don't think he does. I think Trump looks at

(37:56):
it and says, you know what, it's not worth it.
We got our own thing we've got to deal with.
And that's true, that's true. But then they've got the
big state dinner, They've got all the things going on,
you know, as should do in a situation like this.
And AI and Trade are the two real big reasons
that they're together. Is Ai and trade. The Ai side

(38:20):
of stuff is very interesting, and we'll see how this
breaks out. It's weird because and we're going to talk
to our buddy Zach Abram coming up a little bit
about that. But you know, you've got China's want to
get some of these chips that they don't currently have

(38:43):
and that we've limited. At the same time, both of
us want to make sure that there is some responsibility
between us to make sure that this the arms race.
You know, the fear about the nuclear arm trace was
very real. The difference is it was going to be

(39:04):
us that would decide something where the fear is with
AI's like, is this going to be them eventually going yeah,
We're going to decide this for both of you guys.
So where is that line? And then tariffs and trade
and it's the economy stupid, you know. Iran. Yeah, they're
talking a little bit behind the closed doors about it,
and Trump will come out and go. They agree they
shouldn't have a nuclear weapon, they said, so when the

(39:25):
straight Ohar moves should be open. But there's no real
impetus for China to get involved in any way, shape
or form, not right now. And while they're hurting as
far as their growth, youth unemployment's high, especially among young men,
they're not desperate yet, they're not. And part of that

(39:47):
is because g and the Chinese they're planners, right, and
they put one point three billion plus barrels away in
reserve as a just in case. And if they only
had that, they would probably have four plus months to
eight months, depending on what they do, because you know,
they would limit certain things to survive if they only

(40:10):
had that. But they're still getting stuff. Malaysia and Brazil
they're going to buy stuff from US. All of those
things are slapping, so it's not like they're not getting oil.
But yeah, there's no doubt that this has put a
little crimp into them. And for us, yeah, it's hurting us.
There's no doubt about that. The Iran horror moves all
of that, that's one hundred percent hurting us. So that'll

(40:31):
be a topic. But how big of a topic. Probably
not as big as when you know that. I think
people are thinking that it's going to be because Trump
doesn't He's already said it like, I don't need their
help in this, and I think they've already made their
decision about what's coming next. I would not be surprised
because Trump, I think he flies home tomorrow, maybe late tonight,

(40:51):
depending on the time change, and I have a feeling
I wouldn't be surprised in the next day or two
if we don't see something happening when it comes to Iran,
because Iran doesn't seem to be in any hurry to
help us sort this out. And I don't think that
they have the real want right now to get involved

(41:15):
and their goal. Remember, they're willing to take pain, are
we Iran's willing to take pain? They're built somewhat for
pain because they've only ever known pain, a vast majority
of them, because they've you know, been living in a
world of sanctions. So the question is when it comes
to Iran, why would they want to help us? What's

(41:41):
in it for them? Right now, they're they're okay because
they feel they can. They're you know, they're already talking
about Taiwan, and don't get involved in Taiwan, Trump, you
don't want us to be enemies. This is our thing,
it's not your thing. This thing could become very, very
dangerous fast. And I think Trump, I don't think he
has the same want that other presidents and politicians have

(42:07):
had about Taiwan, because I don't think Trump looks at China.
It's weird how Trump looks at China because in the
entire run up to the election, it's like they steal
from us, which they do. Do you think he'll address it?
Of course, he will talks a bit about Fentonol. Of
course they will intelectional property, all of the things spying,
my god, the mayor of Arcadia in California was spying
for China. Yeah, those things will be on the table.

(42:30):
But while he talked tough about China and they're ripping
us off and they're doing all these things, and yeahda YadA, YadA,
his actions outside of some tears haven't been to turn
this thing into a Cold War situation. That's I was
talking to Mike Lyon's got a great article out about it.

(42:51):
Trump is different in the sense when it comes to
the Cold this is not the Cold War we were
used to. Trump wants to shake hands, kiss babies. He's
a salesman. He's a perpetual salesman. He wants to go
out and sell. Trump thinks if I can get in
front of you, I can sell you on something. Now
as you recognize the pooter, the likes of she. It's

(43:12):
a different world than trying to sell you know, politicians
here in America. It's a much different world. But he
recognizes this moment in time, we can't get into a
massive trade war. We can't, you know. I mean while
we long term, if that happened, will survive. It'll suck
at first. Trump and this is the frustration I think

(43:34):
Trump has with our political setup. He looks at somebody
like g and I said it last hour. He's envious
of them because of the system therein She's not worried
about being voted out. He's not. He's not where He's

(43:57):
got an ironclad grip on the Communist Party in China,
so he's not worried about that. Where Trump has to
worry not so much about being voted out, but about
the fact that with midterms coming up, he could be
in a situation a year from now where they've limited

(44:19):
his powers. He's more than just the lame duck. He's
a lame duck that is being investigated. He's a lame
duck that is seeing his allies in politics investigated where
he could be in a position where he may even, yes,
dare I say it, be impeached again. And that's what

(44:41):
he has to worry about. So I think when he
looks at somebody, like you know, everybody says he's always
talking great about dictator, he doesn't like the dictators. He
doesn't like It's not like he wants to be pals
with them. What he likes is the power they have,
not because Trump wants to step on everybody's throats and

(45:02):
jail everybody. It's the fact that he feels like, man,
if I had that power, imagine what I could get done. Right,
I could codify all my stuff. We could make sure
that everything moves in the direction that I want them
to move in, and nobody could push back, and we
have this democracy and our republic, so we don't allow

(45:24):
those things to happen. We remember, we decided not to
have a king. So yeah, I think he's envious of
a lot of the power that they have and the
fact that they're they're they're you know, they're like he is,
in business, right in business. At the end of the day,
Trump was always what he's a shot callar he's it.

(45:45):
He didn't have to go to a board. He doesn't
have to listen to board members say, shareholders are telling
us this, they're pissed, they're angry, we might need to
make a choice. We're going to have to decide what
we're going to do here. And no, he doesn't have
to do any of that. When he's running his companies,
it's him and he looks at politics kind of the
same way. Jeez, that dude who's the head of the board.

(46:09):
He's got fifty one percent of the stock if you will,
if there was stock. So he has to say on everything,
meaning what he says goes buck stops with him. And
in the political world we live in, and thank god
for that, that doesn't happen. There are checks and balances

(46:32):
for a reason. What do you think? Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your ex your Insta, YouTube and everything else? Love
hearing from each and every one of you. Speaking of midterms,
the battle continues in Texas over who's going to get

(46:52):
the endorsement?

Speaker 21 (46:54):
What?

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Yeah? Is it going to be Paxxton, Is it going
to be Cornon? Who Who's going to get the important
endorsement to put them over the edge in their runoff
to see who will go up against James Tallerico Cordon's
got something for you.

Speaker 22 (47:09):
As the incumbent US Senator John Cornyn has done something
that his Republican rival can't. He's introduced legislation to rename
a highway in Donald Trump's honor, and not just any highway,
but US Highway to eighty seven, stretching eighteen hundred miles
from northwest Montana to the Texas Gulf Coast. Cordon's proposal
would create Interstate forty seven and name it for the

(47:30):
forty seventh President, Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 (47:33):
Man.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
They're desperate, aren't they desperate? For Daddy's love. By the way,
both of them are still behind tall Rico few races
in the Senate are as interesting as that and obvious.
We're going to talk a little bit later about Thomas
Massey and what he's got to go up against again.

(47:55):
For going against Trump, it shows you one of them
is trying to do everything they can to please Trump,
please please please, please please please, and another one went
against Trump and now he is potentially paying the price
for it, which is a shame quite frankly, let me

(48:15):
know what you think. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three atch you had been to Joe.
It's your ex, your Insta, all those other good things
out there. Relief Factor. Get the relief you need with

doing a lot more, and I want to feel good

(48:38):
every day. I want to be able to continue to it.
I don't want to go start stop, start stopping. With
a relief factor, I have to worry about that naturally
formulated third party tested right for potency and purity, which
is incredible, and it doesn't mask the pain when it
comes to aches and pains and your joints and your muscles.
It actually combats it from the inside out, which is amazing.

(49:01):
So many listeners are getting on the bandwagon relief Factor

they feel a difference and it works. So that's what
I want you to do. Try Relief Factor three week

dot com. Or call eight hundred four Relief eight hundred

(49:22):
and number four Relief for Relief Factor at Chad Benson
Show x, insta YouTube and more coming up. Murder just
a weird story and the balls on this lady, which
sounds weird, right Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
I normally don't follow the twist and travails of what
I call the celebrity murder trials, but the Corey Richan's case,
and this is the one out of Utah, is so fascinating.
Now I'm gonna give you guys a snapshot if you
don't remember it. So, her husband died unexpectedly of a

(50:16):
fentanel overdose, and of course her being the amazing mother
and doting wife, devastated by the overdose. She's having an affair.
She's in severe debt, and he had suspected not only
the affair, but that she was trying to kill him.
Her husband, Eric, who she killed, had told friends she's

(50:41):
trying to poison so she forged paperwork, right, financial motives.
She was in a lot of debt. But the biggest
balls of all in this she wrote a book, a
children's book about yes, grief, healing, getting through a tragedy.

(51:06):
Then she went on all the shows to promote it.
The balls, the insanity of it on television promoting her
book just incredible. Well, yesterday, guess what it was time
to find out how long she was going to spend
in jail because she's guilty. Didn't take them a long

(51:28):
time to get back with that, she gave a plea
to her kids. The one thing I needy boys to know,
I did not a man of you. I did not
just look at your lives one day to never return
to Yeah you did you killed their dad, of which
the kids said they fear her and want her away forever.

Speaker 23 (51:52):
Judge, a person convicted of those things is simply too
dangerous to ever be free.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
I think we can all agree on that. So we
kind of know where this is going.

Speaker 23 (52:03):
Based on your conviction on count one first degree felony
aggravated murder, the court here by sentences you to life
without parole.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Good insane and again the cajone's enough to write a
book three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad Benson Show's You're Extra Instant Radio on
The chat Benson Show and pitch it to the world
about how your overcoming grief along with the kids is

(52:34):
just just insane. I can't even like, Wow, we live
in a weird world. I'll tell you that it's a
weird world. Meanwhile, hantavirus, there's another case. No, yes, this
one's different. Has nothing to do with it, has nothing
to do with the cruise ship.

Speaker 24 (52:54):
This case is not connected to the cruise ship whatsoever.
The Illinois health officials there investing this possible haunt of
virus case out of Winnebago County in Illinois. This person
never traveled internationally, never had contact with anyone.

Speaker 9 (53:10):
Tied to their cruise ship.

Speaker 24 (53:11):
What this really is is a person who officials believe
may have been exposed while cleaning a home where rodent
droppins were present. They also had mild symptoms. They did
not need to be hospitalized.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Few we don't have to worry about that. That's an
American haunt of virus, okay, right, that's a Midwestern haunt devirus.
Comparatively to what's going on on the ship, which is
the Andes version of the haunt of virus. I've often wondered.
I'm like, I wonder if I ever got the haunted virus,
and you're like, what, well, I mean to be weird?
For years I worked in the reptile world and mice

(53:45):
rats were prevalent everywhere. Cleaning out their cages, you had
to feed them to other animals. I think the reason
that even if I did, it didn't matter because I
was working around animals every day that their stomachs were
acid and their bites were sharpened. God only knows what
thing I got from some of the bites and stuff
that I've had over the years. But the good news

(54:07):
is this person was fine. Hand to virus Midwestern style
is not the Andes virus. See where we're going on
that one Chat Benson.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Show, then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Shows that.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Time of wee can talk to everybody. Zack Abraham, Chiefstment Officer,
Board Capital to talk about you know, politics, popticulture, life,
stuff like that, you know, but let's talk mostly about
the business aspect, all right, China, I think this is
all about AI. I think this is about trade. You
can't have what they say. There was twenty trillion dollar
on that airplane. Every CEO that mattered was on that airplane,

(55:05):
and a lot of this is about them more than
it is about Iran or anything else. And I think
a lot of this stuff that's going on at Chhinna
went on China is about trade more than it is,
say Iran.

Speaker 9 (55:17):
I would absolutely agree. I think that you've got you know,
you've got interesting issues regarding chips and China's access to them,
specifically the Nvidia chips and the capability that those chips are.
You know that we're allowing them to.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Get and they want to be able to sell better
chips to China.

Speaker 9 (55:37):
Yes, they want to be able to sell the chips
that aren't throttled back right, And you could have people
make really good arguments for why you shouldn't do that.
I think if you if you don't do if you
don't allow China to access those chips, I don't think
it's really I don't think it's going to change a

(55:58):
whole lot, honestly. And so if we're going to beat
China in AI, it's not going to be due to government.
It's not going to be due to government regulations and government.
It's going to be because our entrepreneurs do a better
job and beat them, right, Like, That's that's how if
we're going to win that economic war, it's going to

(56:19):
be how we've won every other economic war. And I
don't think trying to keep chips out of China's hands
is the right way to go. I think to oubt
compete them, right, That's what I think. Now, there could
be intricacies inside of that that make what I said
just wrong. Maybe maybe there are legitimate reasons for us
to throttle back with those chips can do. It just
seems kind of feutile because I don't think they're that

(56:40):
far behind our chip technology internally, and I think they're
catching up every single day and they will eventually catch up. Right,
You're going to get parody in chips, like that's going
to happen? Is that two years from now, six years
from now, I don't know, but I think that this
is all I think another reason for the trip, and
this might irritate some people, but that's fine. I think

(57:01):
you see signs of it. I think one of the
reasons for the trip too is that and this is
just my reading it from the outside. I just think
that there are several signals that you've gotten from China
as an economy in a country that they are more
willing to at least to look as though they're trying
to be a more constructive, positive partner of the global economy.

(57:26):
And it actually makes sense because I think as things
have unfolded, I think that if China wants to accomplish
the things that they state they want to accomplish economically,
being in a permanent adversarial position with US does not
benefit them in that goal. You know, if we want

(57:46):
maximum economic growth and economic output and China wants maximum
growth and maximum economic output, neither we'll get that unless
we're working in a constructive manner, a cooperative manner with them.
You've all, yes, you got to keep an eye over
your shoulder all the time because they are a totalitarian regime,
although or not, you know, communists.

Speaker 6 (58:07):
Yeah, But.

Speaker 9 (58:09):
Then on the flip side, you can look at several
different parts of their economy and make very very based
arguments for the fact that like, like for instance, I
was saying this earlier on an interview, if you look
at their automobile industry, I think it's really easy to
make an argument that it's more competitive and more free
market oriented.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Than our We're we're starting to feel this, and we're
gonna start to feel bit more. We see the inflation
numbers came out. Those are up. You know, you get
from the core, the PPI, the consumer confidence. You've got
the last of the oil this week reaching the West
coast from the Middle East. This is the last of it.
Now they're going to be having to go elsewhere to
get their oil. It's gonna cost more, it's gonna take longer.

(58:46):
They're finding it's going to be different. We are going
to see that knock on effect. And I look and
I think, Okay, we got inflation up. We haven't felt
that inflation that we're gonna feel with everything else. That's
a lot of what we felt was just energy. What
happens next, man, what happens with the stock market?

Speaker 9 (59:02):
Well, here's the crazy. So when you go down and
look at it too, and this is why we've been
telling people. Listen, guys, wherever oil goes doesn't really matter
when you've got diesel at eight and you've got jet
oil above jet engine. Like that's the other thing. Like,
is the price on oil correct? Well, if it's correct,
the price on distill it's like diesel and jet fuel
are incorrect. Okay, distill it's always give you the better

(59:24):
clearer picture of actual demand because nobody actually buys oil
to put it in anything, right, It's all about the
end product that it results in. Gasoline, diesel, jet fuel. Okay, Well,
when you look at so one of them has to
be wrong. If you've got if you've got eight dollar
diesel and two hundred dollars jet fuel, I look over
ninety five crud. Yeah, right, what which one of these

(59:45):
doesn't fit? So it's obviously it's obviously the crude. And
so look when you look through the feedthroughs. So in
the last two months alone, you've got cocoa up fifty percent,
You've got cotton mooning, You've got I mean, shoot, we
are going down the list of stuff that's already going up.
Silver's up twenty five, copper's gone up. Everywhere you look

(01:00:09):
and you here's the crazy part. You're just starting to
get feedbrough now, meaning you're just starting to see the
price inflections. That PPI number made all the sense in
the world to us. And again CPI came out way less.
Why Well, PPI producer's price index, right, So it's looking

(01:00:29):
at prices paid. What are producers having to pay to
buy materials to build the goods they sell. You're gonna
see that number jump before you see CPI because CPI
is what are the consumers paying? Right, So PPI is
always a lead in. So everybody's like, oh, the CPI
number wasn't that bad. The PPI number is where we're going.
The CPI number is where we've been. Right. So, like

(01:00:53):
we said earlier, I said, look, I think if you
end this year with inflation CPI with a five to
six handle on it, I think that'll be a good
outcome based on the price increases we're seeing now. Five
to six percent inflation though, is gonna be vicious, right, vicious?
And then the other thing you got to remember is
it's five to six percent inflation increasing on top of

(01:01:16):
all the inflation we've already had. Yeah, right, so you're
going to all new high prices and all this stuff,
and then you got again, I don't want it to
sound like the world is falling apart, but all of
this is happening in an el Nino year, which typically.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
Has a huge maybe one of those super al Ninos.

Speaker 9 (01:01:35):
It's a super el Nino. So what usually happens it
redirects rainfall from areas that produce food to areas that don't,
and you don't get the rainfall and areas that do,
and so you typically get lower crop yields. That's not
a good thing in a year where we can't get
fertilizer and we can't get ureea right and all these
things that we use to enhance crop growth. So you know, again,

(01:01:59):
I'm never going to be a chicken little. Very often,
very rarely do worst case scenarios play out. What is
scary about this situation is we are still running headlong
to the worst case scenario right like, we are on
a trajectory right now that leads to a humanitarian crisis
and potentially millions of deaths. That's the trajectory we're on

(01:02:21):
right now. Does that mean we're going to have to
stay on that and we can't pivot No, that being said,
based on where we're at, I still will be bloody
shocked if we get out of this at less than
one hundred and fifty dollars oil. But it really doesn't
matter because the impact on consumers is going to be
the same. If they want to sit and try to
manipulate and job on the price of oil down all

(01:02:43):
they want, that's fine, it's not going to change anything
in the back end because what it's doing is it's
muting the supply response. Nobody's drilling still because you look
at the back end oil and you're still eighty three
on next December, right, so the back end of the
curb hasn't flinched. He's talking about still pursuing interest rate cuts,
which is absurd.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
It's absurd, right like that like wars, he can't do that,
That can't be his first move.

Speaker 9 (01:03:09):
No, you can't cut rates when inflation's a six. But
more importantly, you need oil higher. You want oil demand
to drop so our stores last longer. If you look
at everything we're doing, not only has it been a disaster,
but everything they're talking about doing is stuff that stimulates demand. Yeah,
it's just crazy. So like that's where I'm sitting there going,

(01:03:32):
you know, the worst case scenarios don't normally play out,
but if you when you get to a worst case scenario,
it usually looks like this, where you just like the
analogy I use with my wife is I go, look,
we're not dangling off the edge, but we're ten to
twelve steps away and we're picking up speed. Yeah, you know,
and and everybody's all anybody wants to talk about is

(01:03:56):
AI and tech and all the straight hoor hoard moves.
Isn't that important? You're just sitting there going, if it's
not that important, why are inventories drawing down at a
record rate? Right?

Speaker 21 (01:04:04):
Like?

Speaker 9 (01:04:04):
That's what tells you the story and oil, there are
a lot of weird things can happen in pricing, a
lot of weird things. How do you know where the
rubber meets the road? You just go look at inventories.
That tells you all you need to know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Absolutely, you think we're going to get into a recession
at some point this year.

Speaker 9 (01:04:18):
I think that if this goes the way I think
it's going, I think every single day, it's hard to
put a number on it, but I think every single
day you're getting closer and closer to a global recession.
And the reason I say that is because it's not
just price. Everybody is still we've gotten so price obsessed,
we've forgotten that if you can't get it, it doesn't

(01:04:42):
matter what the price is. So there's just a lot
of things already look like you're just they're not gonna
have inputs, you know what I mean, Like, if you
don't have inputs, it doesn't matter. Oh, rubber, rubber's mooning.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Oh right, we were talking about the cost of tires.

Speaker 9 (01:04:59):
Yeah, mooning.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Just incredible. And by the way, the oil who was
it that came out? Was it one of the oil
like you know that does the oil change? One of
the big ones said two months from now, if we
keep going this way, yeah, instead of four courts, you
guys may get two.

Speaker 9 (01:05:16):
Yeah. And that's Chad that that's the craziest disconnect of
all of this. I have never watched the market be
more sanguine about the largest energy supply shock that has
ever happened in my lifetime. Where you're watching oil inventories,
you're down to like I think here in the US
are spr is down to three twenty. People are like,
that's a lot oil left. I'm going we can't go

(01:05:37):
below one hundred and eighty guys. Yeah, if you go
below one hundred and eighty, the salt caverns of the
spr start caven in on themselves. So like, we don't
have three thirty, we've got well, would that be one
twenty one fifty? Yeah, and you're drawing down four to
five million a day, So another thirty five forty days
you're done.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 9 (01:05:58):
So say it's it's it's it's wild, you know the
the And that's the thing that I don't think people
are getting is everybody assumes that the threat is high prices,
and you're like, well, yeah, that's part of it. But
the other side of it is you're not able to
turn things on. There's just not right. There's not enough
at any price when you've got to when you've got
a ten to twelve percent hole in global really of

(01:06:21):
any commodity. But it's most commodities are not as needed
as oil. But when you've got a ten to twelve
percent hole between production and demand and oil, you're done.
It's I mean, like I said, there's whoever can get
it is paying way too much. So margins get crushed, right,
And there's a lot of people that can't get it,

(01:06:42):
and so planes don't take off, cars don't drive, things
don't turn on. It's I mean, yeah, it's not just
it's not just a price issue. It's an availability issue.
And it's like I said, the holes like the other thing. Remember,
so if you opened the straight right now and did it,

(01:07:02):
the world would still if it was quote unquote over
right now, you would still be drawing down inventories because
we've shut in production. So opening a wide open puts
you back at about eighty eight to let's call it,
ninety two million barrels of production. That means you're still
going to be drawing down at a rate of five
six seven million barrels a day. So it's it. It's

(01:07:25):
just really, it's just a bizarre thing to sit back
and watch people acting like it's not a big deal
when you can see in reality, you know, like, hey,
you can tell me any story you want, but I'm
looking at the gauge and and we're an hour away
from zero.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Yeah, so and people I don't feel it before. I
think the reality is at some point they have to
feel it because explaining it to them to help them
understand what's coming. They don't get that.

Speaker 9 (01:07:52):
No, no, and and and you know, to be fair,
it's understandable. Why you know the market is you have
for fifty teen straight years, you've been able to print
your way out of every single threat to growth, every
single recessionary scare. We were able to move around it.
And we've always said through the years, Look, what we're
scared about is eventually you're going to run into a

(01:08:13):
problem that money printing can't fix. And our big fear
was everybody's just going to assume it can because no
risks have been realized for so long that we just
walk headlong into a crisis. And I hope I'm wrong,
but this might be that.

Welcome to chat che No, not the country, the institution
is the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
It's that time of the program where we learn about
words because words. Guess what, kids, words matter. Now it's
time for the urban word of the day. The young
have a vocabularity all their own, and we break it
down for you. It's called the urban word of the day.

(01:11:19):
My little one uses the other day. She was trying
to show me something in her little game she plays
tokea life world where she builds her own little world
she's in, you know, with kids. She designs everything, little
houses and stuff. It's it's awesome, it's fun. And she says, oh,
that's dog water. I'm like, what what does that mean?
She goes to meat. It's not very good. I said, oh,

(01:11:43):
that's it's an interesting one. So if you hear somebody
say that's dog water, don't think unless there's a dog
there drinking water, that it's actually dogwater. Think it's sloppy,
it's yucky, it's stupid, it's not very good. Low quality
is the best way to describe it. Dogwater your urban
word of today. That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
Trump together with g What are they doing talking about
what stuff?

Speaker 6 (01:13:41):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
It's time for Trump in China.

Speaker 6 (01:13:46):
That you're a great leader. I say it to everybody,
You're a great leader.

Speaker 10 (01:13:50):
Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say
it anyway because it's true.

Speaker 6 (01:13:54):
I only say the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Except for the part where I say the truth. But still,
you're a great leader. You're a great leader. Everybody knows
your greatness. Just couldn't get any greater. We'll find out
what comes out of this. Look, you got the two
most powerful leaders together. And is it going to be
just about trade tariffs? A lot of it? Is it

(01:14:20):
going to be ai a lot of it? Is it
going to be better? Ron and Taiwan a little bit
of it. G came out and said, don't get involved.
Don't get involved. It could be bad for both of us.
Kind of set the table there, and Trump said, we
don't need you to help us deal with Iran. But

(01:14:42):
they did both agree no nukes. I told you they
don't want them to have nukes either. Well, how does
this affect us? That's all that matters you. And I
let me tell you how everything's going right now more expensive,
and it's going to get more expensive in the coming

(01:15:04):
weeks and months. People are feeling it already. My wages
aren't rising, but my bills keep rising.

Speaker 6 (01:15:12):
It's not supposed to be like this.

Speaker 11 (01:15:15):
It doesn't have to be like this.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
I'm not asking for a million bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
I just want to be able to take care of
what I need to.

Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
Take care of.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
Maybe you should ask for a million bucks. No, just kidding,
you're not going to get it. But here's the kind
of craziness that's going on with Iran, and I do
believe that we are going to see this fight ramp up.
It's been very quiet last week, week and a half.
And the reason is simple because first of all, it
took them ten days to get back their demand. We

(01:15:47):
demand something, they demand something. They sent basically the same
thing back that they'd sent before. And their thought is,
we're going to see if we can out wait you.
We're going to see if we can just wait you
out to the point where you have no choice but
to capitulate in some way, shape or form. We've talked
about that. But they also knew that nothing was gonna

(01:16:08):
happen this week because of the meeting with g and
they want to see how that goes. And don't think
for a second that she's not going to pick the
phone up and call them and tell them, you know,
kind of like anything right here, what'd she say she
liked me? Do you think she'll give me a chance?

(01:16:29):
You know, it's like one of those things. It's like
one of those things, But we care about the cost
of life. Duh. But what could we be seeing here? Well, globally,
Remember this is a global issue and is a nightmare
that is potentially coming to fruition. This is a grocery
store owner in southern California talking about it's gonna start

(01:16:53):
to happen. We're gonna start raising stuff. Do you think
you're gonna have to raise prices?

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
Absolutely, but we're gonna carefully.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
In Burbank, California, Alan ar Zoian has owned Handy Market
for over fifty years.

Speaker 6 (01:17:07):
We can't be competitive.

Speaker 21 (01:17:09):
Our wholesale prices have increased so much and people lose
that extra spendable income.

Speaker 6 (01:17:17):
I guess we'll all be ordering from Amazon.

Speaker 7 (01:17:20):
What do you think grocery prices are going to look
like in the next six months, Well.

Speaker 21 (01:17:24):
If they continue like they have in the last three months,
you're looking at inflation of a minimum of a half
a percent per month. It could go up another four percent,
and then you're looking at rates of what we had
during Biden.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
Oh that's not good. So that's California. How about Texas, Dallas.
This guy's the restaurant Mark McGuire, not the baseball player,
talking about what he's seeing out there.

Speaker 25 (01:17:51):
Since the beginning of March is probably the craziest time
I've seen in my entire career in the restaurant industry.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
The craziest in your entire career, craziest.

Speaker 25 (01:18:00):
Outside of maybe the first two months of COVID. People
come in here, they order an entree, they may or
may not order an adult beverage and arista, and that's it.
They don't My dessert sales used to be about seven percent.
Now they're less than one.

Speaker 21 (01:18:16):
If you're already seeing people pull back, I would think
the last thing you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Want to do now is try to increase prices even more.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
It's pretty scary.

Speaker 25 (01:18:24):
It's a pretty scary place to be for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
That's us. That's the day to day, and it's little
things that people notice that lead them to go, oh oh, oh, okay,
I've seen this before. I know where this starts to
lead to. Both of them said the same thing. When

(01:18:50):
they get their orders, what are they noticing fuel surcharge?
So they're getting fuel surcharged on their orders? Who do
you think that lands on us? You and I the customer?

Speaker 11 (01:19:06):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
People are willing to eat it if it's temporary but
they can't eat it in perpetuity, and there doesn't seem
to be any end in sight. And as we talk
to zach Abram, Archief vestment officer over there at Bulwark,
we talked to you know, this this is what he
does for a living. He says it. This isn't gonna

(01:19:29):
happen at the the the flip of a switch, if
you will. And the further we go day after day,
you're adding potentially weeks onto all of this. So we're
in a situation where this is going to get much

(01:19:51):
more uncomfortable. And I'm you know, I'm frustrated. You know,
I was talking to somebody yesterday because everybod he wants
to make it about it's Israel. You don't let you know,
you can't, you can't mention anything. I said, let me
ask you a question if Israel wasn't involved in the

(01:20:12):
whole thing with Iran, because you can't have any conversations
with anybody, you know, because everyon's got to bring something
up because they always want to paint you into you know,
you're you you hate Trump and you hate Israel. No, no, no,
you're an idiot if you think that. But I said,
if you think if Israel wasn't there in this situation,
take Israel out of it, do you think we would
have attacked? Well, I don't know. That's all you need

(01:20:34):
to say. Saying you don't know is everything. Yeah, but
they could reach Europe, would they're they're this or they're that, Well,
then let Europe handle it. They didn't seem to be
too worried about it. Now we got into something now
that the President would love to get out of. Geez, no,
no hurry to help him, which is understandable. And yes,

(01:20:56):
they're they're feeling the effects of this as well, but
that being said, it's not quite devastating yet for them,
and they think they can withstand a little bit more
uncomfortableness if it weakens America's standing, which is you know,

(01:21:21):
they're painting this by the way, as Trump came to us,
we are now a player. We are now on par
with them. You're not, but that's the way you're playing it.
And we won't really find out the effects of all

(01:21:42):
of this until after Trump's got on the air and
taken off, and then they can have a little bit
more open dialogue because right now they're playing nicey nice
in front of the camera. As you do.

Speaker 5 (01:21:57):
Well, can help each other succeed and advance the well
being of the whole world.

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Well, there you go, we can help each other. We're
stronger together. Wait a minute, I thought you ran on
they've ripped us off, which they have fentanyl, which you
apparently have dressed. What about the spying? I mean, what
are I thought the whole thing was everybody takes advantage
of us. China is all of the things. We've got

(01:22:25):
to be strong. And now it's like, because you've built
up a perfect storm, the tariff situation did not go
the way that you thought it was gonna go. Let's
be real, inflation's hotter than you expected it to be,
and that you were probably counting on, Oh, this will

(01:22:46):
be blips, and they're not. And now we're in a
situation where, yeah, it's uncomfortable, but you know, the tough
talk of we need to decouple from China, which we do.
Who is gone away? And remember Trump and the US

(01:23:07):
government's want of something isn't what Maybe I don't know
the business owner's wants are. See the fact that you've
got how many business leaders, what did they say? There
was twenty trillion dollars of worth essentially company wise on

(01:23:28):
that airplane on Air Force one, including Elon Musk who's
in the middle of a trial and the judge told
him he's got to be here, you can't leave, and
he's still left. Now you know, he is what he is,
but that is and he and Sam Altman are going
at it. So this is going to be a niceties

(01:23:50):
in front of the camera. I'm sure some tough talk
behind it, and then both of them will come out
and say the things they achieved and how they got
one over on each other, and that'll be that. But
I think that narrative will end by Saturday or Sunday,
and I hope it doesn't because I have a feeling

(01:24:11):
stuff's coming. When it comes to Iran, I have a
feeling it's about to get ugly. I do it. Just
nobody's getting anywhere. The Joint Chiefs and heg Seth have
gotten together. They've already got a name. They've picked it out.
It's a little baby. Would call it Operation Sledgehammer, which

(01:24:31):
sounds like we're just going to start hitting certain things.
So we'rell will that take this, will take this, will
take the China conversation completely off the map, because once
that happens, if it does, and I hope it doesn't,

(01:24:53):
we're back on to the war footing three, two, three,

a virus is trending. Bricks, g Albinisi, Tennessee, Rand Paul

(01:29:26):
just the name a few things that are trending, as
well as Karen Bass. The Alex Murda conviction being overturned
is really fascinating. So the case. If you remember, he
was a powerful attorney, a mover and shaker in South Carolina,
and he was convicted of killing his wife and his

(01:29:47):
twenty two year old son. Apparently what happened is Becky Hill,
who was a clerk who was giving instructions to the jury,
basically said, Hey, I got stuff to do. Can you
hurry this up? Don't be four by anything they're saying,
we got things going on, we need this room a
little bit. It's kind of what they made it feel like.
And because of that, jurors felt uncomfortable, and they recounted, Look,

(01:30:11):
it just felt like this they were pushing us in
a certain direction.

Speaker 12 (01:30:15):
The court makes its decision on the conduct of vin
Cotson County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. As you know,
this conduct involved her in interactions with the jury at
that time. As the court said in the order, this
was conduct unknown to the state and other individuals.

Speaker 1 (01:30:29):
Now, he's not getting out of jail because he was
already going to be spending time in jail regardless of
what took place in that trial, because of financial crimes,
were stealing from his clients. But she said some crazy
things and they were able to show looks, she put
her finger on the scales of justice. Odd, very odd.

(01:30:53):
They said they're going to retry him, So we will see.
If you're missing the show, Shaman, he grabbed the podcast.
Appreciate that chat. Benson check Chad.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
There is a generational battle going on in the world
of politics, and these younger folks, this generation is not
tied to a singular party. Okay. And I'm not talking
about the crazy, you know, super progressive wack of news.

(01:31:44):
I'm just talking about the average thirty something twenty something,
they're willing to listen. But when Trump said America first,
they wanted America first. And you're seeing this generational divide
in several places. First, big giant primary next week in

(01:32:09):
Kentucky Thomas Massey. So Thomas Massey is running for reelection.
The maga folk can't stand him because he goes against
the president, who, in their mind is that's all that matters,
is that whatever he wants he should get. And by
the way, Thomas a huge fan of Thomas Massey, massive

(01:32:32):
fan of his. The money coming in has been massive.
It's pretty much a pack money alone against Thomas Massey,
huge huge amount of money from a few different places,
but mostly from the likes of a pack pro is

(01:33:00):
organizations because they don't like the fact that Thomas Massey
doesn't take any money from them, so that means they
don't have their opportunity to try to influence him in
any way, shape or form. And they don't like the
fact that you know, we do a lot of what
Israel last. They want no part of that. And why
I say this is generational is because Thomas Massey, I think,

(01:33:21):
is a generational kind of a voice in what a
younger generation feels when you look at the numbers of
who wants Thomas Massey versus who's against him? And the
guy he's going up again is you know, he's pro
He's like the mega guy. He's like a Navy seal

(01:33:43):
mega gure. So here's his numbers. Fifty six to sixty
five gallerin plus eighteen sixty six to seventy five plus
thirty five, seventy six plus plus thirty three forty five
for Massy plus seventeen thirty six to forty five plus

(01:34:03):
thirty eight, twenty six to thirty five plus fifty six
seventeen to twenty five plus twenty five for Massy. All
of those right there show you the future.

Speaker 19 (01:34:16):
Is that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:18):
The other one's not the future. The sixteen and seventy
earth that's the future because to them, Trump delivers everything
they want. Right they're living in a world where they've
got their four oh one K, their house is paid for.
Trump is fighting all the right kind of bad people,

(01:34:38):
et cetera, et cetera. Thomas Massey is offering a voice that's, hey,
our debt is insane. We need to get some under control.
Are spending just these that just the fact that people
are struggling day to day. We need to get this
under control. We can't be going off into foreign affairs everywhere.
That doesn't pay. In fact, it takes away for everybody.

(01:35:01):
He's an independent voice, and he was hardcore opponent to
Trump when it came to squashing all the stuff with Epstein.
So there's a lot of stuff playing out here. But
it's generational as much as it is anything else. And
if you don't think that to be true, let me
throw something else out there to you. Ben Shapiro, right,

(01:35:23):
the Daily Wire. Normally I don't talk about stuff like this.
He represents the old school. His numbers are cratering. I mean,
I wish my numbers creted like that, but they are.
Why well, he represents the old Na Khan pro Israel

(01:35:44):
wing of the party. And think about this. The Daily
Wire dominated for a while. The Daily Wire was the
Bee's knees. Well, where are they still? Kind of big Facebook?
Who's there? Older people? And this is that generational thing
that is happening. Younger people are podcast They're looking for

(01:36:04):
different voices. They want people who are independent. They don't
look at Palestinians as evil. And I've said this over
and over again, and I'm going to say it again,
and this pisses a lot of people off. The Holocaust
was grandma and grandpa, mom and dad. And I say

(01:36:29):
that because just like nineteen seventy nine was mom and dad,
and I'm talking about Iran and the revolution. They're living
in today's world. They don't want to fight wars of old.

(01:36:50):
They don't want that. They don't want to be dragged
into these battles based on things that happened when you
were young that have nothing to do with today's world.
Younger conservatives are done with the likes of the Daily
Wire and stuff. And the reason is, on top of

(01:37:11):
all of that, even when you get into the culture
war stuff, it only goes so far. And they look
around and they say, I don't want to fight foreign wars.
I don't care that you're gay. I don't want to

(01:37:32):
be beholden to boomers, which is a big deal because
they're getting everything they want and we're getting nothing. And
here's something this is crazy again. We're going through all
these things. Federal spending per person children six to adults

(01:37:57):
under twenty six. Are you ready for this? Three hundred
dollars a year working age adults twenty six to sixty
four seventy three hundred dollars per person a year, retirees
forty three thy seven hundred. They're frustrated, they're angry. It's

(01:38:22):
a different world where they feel like they're being demonized
for everything and having an open.

Speaker 6 (01:38:31):
Mind as.

Speaker 1 (01:38:34):
Not what this older generation of conservatives want them to have.
Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Hey, a lot of what Nick
says is hyperbolic and ridiculous. I've told you guys that
for years. But it's not just about their voices. It's

(01:38:57):
the fact that are people out there that are trying
to define them in this battle. Well, let me tell
you something. And I tell people this because you know
where I and I'm on radio. You guys know you
listen to me on radio. Let me tell you something.
I have spoken out about all parties for a long time,
and I've spoken out about Trump when many other of

(01:39:17):
my business had no balls to do it, even though
I know how some of them felt, but they're terrified.
The station I'm on locally here it is the most
maga station that you can think of. And in the
middle of the day there I am Trump does something good,
I'll say great. If he does something bad, I'll criticize,

(01:39:38):
lose their mind. But that's becoming less and less, and
our audience is getting younger. Why because I care. I've
got kids still that are young.

Speaker 6 (01:39:48):
Young.

Speaker 1 (01:39:48):
I have a seven year old who does great when
it comes to the urban word of this. She's always
telling me stuff. But I also I'm a young at heart.
I've always been in independent thinker, and I've said this
for a long time. My show that I've always wanted
to build and that we've built over the years, is

(01:40:10):
about what independence and thought. That's what I want, independence
and thought, not demonizing somebody else, working together, finding the
things that bond us, the commonality, and growing from there.

(01:40:31):
All of this has become so performative. It's tough and
it's frustrating, but you're starting to see what's going on.
There are two camps. It's not just about MAGA and conservatives.
You have a strong, independent, more libertarian kind of Conservatorians
at times that I call them, and an older generation

(01:40:54):
who's holding on to everything they possibly can because it
benefits them right now, and anybody who speaks out about
it could be quote unquote an enemy. This is Seb Gorka,
who works for Trump administration, talking about Nick Fuentes and
the likes of Tucker Carlson and who are they define
them and they're all of these things, and it is

(01:41:17):
insane to think not to people like you.

Speaker 4 (01:41:20):
I'm not a political analyst anymore. I'm a characterrism, a
government employee. But we have to have an effective, accurate
snapshot on who are part of the conservative movement today,
because I would say to you, I'm not sure that
Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson are conservatives. If you are

(01:41:43):
lauding a sharia law, if you are saying that there
are Muslim states that seem to be better qualitatively than
America in terms of freedom and prosperity, I'm not sure
that means you're part of the can so it movement.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
They're not. They're not part of the conservative movement. They're different.
Nick Fintees was out there the other day. It was
on with a crowder saying vote Democrat, vote Democrat. Oh yeah,
it's and he's doing it to prove a point because
they've come after him maga wise and stuff. But some
of the stuff he says makes absolute truth.

Speaker 6 (01:42:27):
It does.

Speaker 1 (01:42:30):
As much as this is a class battle. You know,
a lot of people want to make it that it's
it's more so defined as a generational battle. And again
I always go to this, I'm in the generation that
nobody seems to pay any attention to, which is gen X.
We're the smallest, we are the most independent because we

(01:42:52):
had to be. We're also the most ignored, and there's
a good chance we may never even have a gen xident.
Think about that. But the one thing I've always pride
myself on is being independent. And whether it's somebody like
Thomas Massey, where everybody says, you know, he's a rhino,

(01:43:14):
So what's a rhino Republican in name only? So well,
how are you Republican? Well, I support Maga. Maga's not republican.
Maga's Trump and whatever he decides, it's going to be.
That day I said, there's no conservatives left, there's no
classic liberals left much anymore. Neither of these parties represent
the average person. They represent themselves the party obviously. And again,

(01:43:38):
whatever we get at the end that trickles down to us, crumbwise,
is what we have left, and we should be thankful
for that. But this battle is generational is people will
want to make a class. And yes, you could talk
about the wealth disparity, and that's huge at times, but
it is generational. Trump is fighting all the right people

(01:44:00):
that mom and dad don't like and making sure that
all the tax cuts go to mom and dad, and
that the stock market's great by the way, Trump, as
we talked about it last hour. One thing about Trump is, yes,
the gas prices suck. We can all go over that.
And that's a very visceral thing. We see that. But

(01:44:22):
for him, I don't think he's going to really get
nervous until he sees the stock market potentially correct. We
are in a situation where Wall Street and Main Street
have never been this far apart. They don't represent It
used to be, Hey, wall Street's okay, main Street's doing okay.

(01:44:42):
It's not that. Now they're two separate things. They are
And I think this is gonna get very interesting as
the gen Zers and the millennials start to get out
there and really have their voice and vote heard in

(01:45:08):
a way that they've they've done before the millennials, but
now the gen zs as well. Yeah, this is going
to be interesting, no doubt. And the Thomas Massey thing
is a perfect example of old thinking versus young thinking.
