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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
The anticipation Hi people excited, eager, anxious to see who
who may be on it, MAGA, They're excited, even many
many other people out there who are not associated with
either party but find the whole thing intriguing. Whose name

(00:36):
would be on Epstein's list. Then it finally came out,
many influencers, people you've never seen before in some who
are loyal to Trump holding a binder, a white binder

(00:58):
that says Epstein on it with the Department of Justice steal.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
And then it happened.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
The report came out. No, yes, it did. It finally
came out. I bet it was earth shattering, Well was it?
Oh it was, Yeah, that's what you guys got. The

(01:36):
excitement of it all led to them. But what happened, well,
depending on who you talk to, because there are some
people out there that are pissed off. The reaction has
been mixed, to say the least sort of mixed reactions
we saw.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
We definitely saw some support from lawmakers who have been
pushing for this information to be released, but then we
all also saw at least one lawmaker who voiced outrage
at the lack of new information from these records about
the Jeffrey Epstein case. Epstein obviously the convicted sex offender
who was charged with trafficking young girls. But Representative Anna

(02:14):
Paulina Luna, she's a Republican from Florida. She posted to
Acts like I said, voicing some outrage with this, saying
this is not what we or the American people asked for.
Get us the information we asked for instead of leaking
old information to the press. More than three hundred pages
of newly declassified documents contain information like Epstein's contact list,

(02:36):
flight logs for his private plane, and a list of
victims names and phone numbers. Also, the Department of Justice
says this is the first phase of records and it
largely contains information that had leaked to the press in
the past, but that it was never officially released by
the Department of Justice. But lots of public curiosity with

(02:57):
this Jeffrey Epstein case.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
It was a giant bacle and they failed. You get
a big, giant f First of all, handing it out
to a bunch of influencers is ridiculous. Secondly, you didn't
have a press conference, right, This was supposed to be
the whole thing, right, Like this is the kid in

(03:19):
the kaboodle. This is what everybody's waiting for. I mean,
this is it. This is the deep state. We're gonna
get that deep Stuss, that's the deepest state. We're gonna
get it. We're gonna come out and get it. And
then it was a situation, a debacle, no press conference.
Now you're going around trying to go, well, hold on,
there's more to it. We've we've been lied to. Cash failed.

(03:44):
There are other things out there. We need to know.
Sd N Y, who are these what are they doing?
They've got all this other stuff.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Be released about one hundred and twenty pages of documents.
And I started asking for these documents right when I
came into off this and before Cash Betel was in there.
So I ended up getting about one hundred and twenty pages.
We carefully redacted them, of course, to be sure. The
two hundred and fifty four young girls women who are

(04:15):
victims of sex crimes and sex trafficking, their personal information
was redacted and out of there to protect them. So
I'm going through it, and I kept saying, there has
to be more, there has to be more. I'm assured
that's it. Cash asked the same questions sured there's no more.
Last I found out, you know, this week that a
source told me New York, SD and Y they're sitting

(04:37):
on thousands of pages of documents regarding Epstein, thousands, thousands,
And of course you've seen the very strong letter. We
will get everything. We will have it in our possession.
We will redact it, of course, to protect grand jury
information and confidential witnesses. That the American people have.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
A right to know.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Donald Trump is the most transparent president in our nation's history.
So not only will America get the full Epstein files,
they will get JFK, they will get Martin Luther King.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Pam BONDI right there, ag. I'm sorry you guys failed.
Even if you get something else down the road. Now
you've blown it and you've pissed a lot of people off,
which again makes me laugh. And I asked this question
several times yesterday, and I'd like to hear from you,
A do you think you're going to get all of
the list now and all of the stuff. I don't,

(05:32):
I never did, I never did. Would you rather get
nothing and just allow the conspiracy to go on, or
would you rather get a bunch of names? And there's

(05:53):
no actual way that you're probably going to prove a
lot of these things. And guilt by association is an
actual guilt, despite what some people think. Even though we
know there were bad things done, we recognize that. But

(06:16):
what happens if you get all these names and there's
zero convictions, there's zero charges, there's no trials, there's nothing.
I think the American people have even more pissed about that.
From this entire situation as I've watched it unfold, it

(06:37):
is just a giant cluster hump and Republicans you dropped
it yesterday. I wasn't really bothered about the list. I
know a lot of people this is a big deal
to them. I wasn't bothered. But the reaction I got
from a lot of Trumps supporters is this is ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
They've lied to us.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
And I was like, oh, natives are restless, and nothing
but convictions, arrest shaming is going to stop them from
being disgruntled and pissed off. That's what they want. They

(07:28):
want blood. And you know I've said this soul along.
Dude's got cameras everywhere, he's got all of this stuff.
It isn't because he wants to watch back some videos
when he's at home alone at night. It's because he

(07:49):
got popped. Everybody realizes he's has access to heads of states, billionaires,
move and shakers around the globe, and that.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
We probably used him, and we're not going.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
To show the world that we were okay with him
basically parting it up and selling access to young women
so we could get people in compromising positions to help us.

(08:29):
Even if as horrible as that is, something happened that
saved lives or changed something that was for the benefit
for all America, we don't want to know that and
we're not going.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
To put that out there. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
We'll see. Does she have part Eh, maybe maybe not.
But I think a lot of people are pissed and
angry this morning. And it's funny because that's what one
of the big trending things, if still the number one
trading thing.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Pambondy apps the.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
List all of that stuff three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show, is
your Twitter, Twitter Atis text the program. Meanwhile, today, somebody's
coming to the White House. Yesterday Kio Stammit was here.
He's the Prime Minister of England very low tee. Today,
Zelenski's showing up.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
They're going to be signing something today, according to the President.
But it still sounds like that President Zelenski is trying
to extract from President Trump security guarantees that's been that
big hang up on the Ukrainian side. They want to
get guarantees that the United States would be there to
support Ukraine after a peace agreement, after the war ends,

(09:44):
if they were threatened again by Russia.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
I don't know if Trump's going to give it to
him now. He has softened his stance a little bit
when it comes to, you know, Zelensky being a dictator
and and you know he's kind of taking a little
step back from that.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
But do I think that we're gonna give him that.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
No.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I think what he's gonna say is it doesn't have
to be us. It could be the Europeans. You know,
if and.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Trump said yesterday, look, you know Article five NATO. I
take it very seriously, you know absolutely. I think his
big thing is let's sit down and talk. Let me
tell you where I'm coming from, and then we'll do
the stuff in front of the cameras and we can
get something done here minerals. And he may say, look,

(10:30):
I'm quietly behind closed doors. We've got your back. We're
not gonna say that aloud because I need Putin to
do some stuff. And this is the way you got
a court as ego, and so that's what I'm gonna do.
Tell him what he wants to hear, and we'll go
from there. So we're not gonna let him take you over.

(10:51):
But you can't join NATO. You just can't join. That's
never happening, at least not. We'll help Putin's around, Okay,
so that ain't happening. So put that out of your
mind and then we can go from there. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 2 (13:19):
We had a lot of crazy stuff happened this week, right,
Oh boy, did we Let's.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Remember throwing a young person just starting out in the
world under the bus.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Here you go again, fire, I is real. My dream
is finally becoming a reality. Police officers love doing it.

Speaker 8 (13:36):
They tell me they've been training all year for this.
So for me, it's the fact that Mega, as I said,
is explicitly a Nazi ideology.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
And I'm not a hundred dollars walking me my hole.
I know how I'll say it. Anybody's burning a hold.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
I through my bogget in and do my skam. Come
on morning, I'll be freeman again.

Speaker 10 (14:05):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Time.

Speaker 11 (14:12):
So we're gonna do everything possible to defend the communities
in in a legal way, but in a way that
people throughout the country can replicate the experience.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
Really taught me that whoever goes to prison as a victim.

Speaker 12 (14:22):
First we're getting pinched, and I don't know where it's
gonna stop. And that's that's the problem.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's fine, it's trucks me time.

Speaker 13 (14:46):
Big news.

Speaker 14 (14:47):

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I want to see the phebes. I apologize.

Speaker 16 (15:07):
There is no colleague for whom I have had more
affection and more respect than joy Read.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Joy Read is a nasty person. Wow, it's time.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
I was terminated.

Speaker 17 (15:30):
Last week, people showed up outside of my building, and
I'm here to say the same. This is not how
anyone deserves to end a public service career.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
What a week three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to your Twitter, your Instagram,
all the other things right here at the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 13 (15:50):
Your ads need to get up and work.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's not being lazy.

Speaker 18 (15:54):
If this continues, the country will become the backto bankrupt.
It's not an optional thing. It is a centro pick.
That's the reason I'm here, all right, gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
He's got one barrel left.

Speaker 19 (16:05):
When he fires that, take out your pistols and shoot
him down like a mangie.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Scoundrel he is. That was a hell of a week,
wasn't It flies by, and it's like in a blink
of an eye you look back and you're like, man,
there was so much stuff that happened, and there's so
much stuff still happening. Case in point, Robert F. Kennedy
hates everybody, and he's bringing back the measles.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
In New Jersey, a child who had traveled internationally was
hospitalized in Bergen County. Two close family members of the
young patient were later infected, all three unvaccinated. But in
West Texas, alarm growing after measles claimed the life of
an unvaccinated child, the first death from the preventable disease
here in the US in a decade.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Is this normal?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Do we see a little bit of the measles every year?
Or is this something that is never seen before?

Speaker 7 (16:55):
Measles is highly contagious, transmitted through droplets in the air
or touching infected surfaces. The CDC saying ninety percent of
those who are unvaccinated and come in contact with the
disease will contract it. The virus is most contagious four
days before the rash appears and four days after.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Just to let you guys know. In the last we'll
go back to twenty nineteen. There was thirteen hundred cases
of the measles. Then he had thirteen and twenty twenty
one and forty nine. Remember those were COVID year, so
people were indoors. One twenty one in twenty two, fifty
nine in twenty three, two hundred and eighty five last year,
and one hundred and thirty three.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Now, so take that for what it's worth listening to
show Grab the podcast, Chat Benson Show, Fun, Chad Benson, Shoe.

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

Speaker 2 (18:03):
So much has happened, so many great things. Inflation is up,
unemployment is up, Eggs cost more than iPhones, the measles
is back. Planes are running into each other.

Speaker 20 (18:14):
I'm getting dizzy just thinking about how great America is again.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I'm tired of all the winning. Dah's Jimmy Kimmel right
there once again, Beryl laughs, because none of that stuff
happened under Biden, right, nothing, Eggs weren't up then, and
Trump specifically made sure that all these chickens died and

(18:38):
the measles. By the way, break it down for you,
let's just say that the measles every year there's a
few hundred cases and even up to a thousand cases.
But you probably didn't hear about that, did you. Now
you wouldn't because it's not their way to put that

(18:59):
out there to embarrass everybody in the Republican side. Look
at this, right, we didn't have the measles before, Yeah,
we did. There was three hundred cases last year, two
hundred and eighty five to be exact. Hell, in two
thousand and nineteen there was twelve hundred plus cases. Well,

(19:19):
still Robert F. Kennedy's fault. That's what you're gonna get
from now on. But I keep saying this. Trump's got
to get this stuff on point, and he's got to
get his house in order, and he's got to get
this in a way where people feel good and that
confidence is up because midterms are much closer than people realize.

(19:43):
It's crazy to say because we just had an election,
but when you come to things like Congress, it's always
in front of.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
You because the minute you win.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
You can barely breathe before you got to get out
there and start doing your thing, trying to pass as
many bills as possible, get you name on stuff, so
you can go back and go look at all the
stuff I did. I raised a bunch of money to
hire me again.

Speaker 13 (20:05):
Whoo.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Because if Trump loses the House and the Senate, that's
not a good thing. Your last two years would be
not as good as you would like to think they
could be. Oh we move on from Jimmy Kimmel and
his mockery to Amy Klobash, who should be mocked.

Speaker 21 (20:23):
Oh, I just beg my colleagues instead of picking apart
bills that were not even passing, to actually do their jobs.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
And look at what is right in front of you.

Speaker 21 (20:33):
Nominees who are saying that they will not follow court orders.
FBI agents who have done nothing but do their jobs
getting fired, Prosecutors who have devoted themselves, who are conservatives,
and members of the federal society who are respected by
so many people that you know, who are stepping aside

(20:54):
because they can't stand this.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Stink over our constitution in our country.

Speaker 21 (20:59):
That's what I'm asking you to look at as we
look at not just these nominees, but everything that's happening
in our country today.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Oh god, I hate when stink's everywhere, don't you what's that?
Oh stink? Oh that's the worst. They're so dramatic, isn't it.
You know, It's like we were talking about yesterday with women.
Liberal women are the loneliest and saddest around and those

(21:29):
look because somebody's like, I can't believe you'd say that. No,
I'm saying that because of the reports that are out there,
of the studies that have been done. Okay, Okay, well
I'm gonna give you that. I'm gonna give you that. Then, Chad,

(21:50):
speaking of liberal women, the battle between AOC and Elon,
you guys should just get it over with. H wink wink,
nudge nudge.

Speaker 22 (22:00):
Did not exist two years ago. Nineteen year olds were
not raiding the treasury two years ago. People who have
no idea with medical background have not been hauling in
and creating kangaroo courts for scientists to dismiss them. Two
years ago. That started happening now. Elon Musk is not
a scientist. He is not an engineer. He is a
billionaire con man with a lot of money. He does

(22:22):
not have this kind of good background. I sincerely ask
you all, I sincerely ask you all to examine what
expertise he has in approving medical devices. And if you
all think that he is an expert in that, I've
got a bridge to nowhere.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
To sell you, no way, a bridge to nowhere. That's
a funny line. I liked that there was a bridge
to nowhere proposed back in the day.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
You guys remember that.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Was it Gravy and Island or something like that up
in Alaska, up in Alaska, and they were going to
build a bridge at a cost of four hundred million dollars.
Anytime you hear that we're going to do this, we're
bringing money back to our town. But we're going to
have to put in a sidewalk for seven hundred million dollars.

(23:12):
Somebody's getting paid. That's all I'm saying. More from AOC.

Speaker 22 (23:15):
These are people's lives that are on the line, and
we cannot laugh them away. Genuinely. Please, I am asking
you to please support this amendment for the people who
have medical devices stuck in their body.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Thank you, You're welcome. You're welcome. Can I okay, let's
just break a couple things down here. First, the nineteen
year olds aren't raiding the treasury. They make it sound
like they're going in and stealing stuff that's not happening. Secondly,
Elon has a degree in physics and economics, one from

(23:50):
pen and the other from Wharton, pretty good schools. So
to call him an idiot and say he doesn't know
what he's doing, Elon tanked the build that she's pissed at,
and quite frankly, a lot of people out there should
be pissed about this. But here's the thing with bills,
and both sides do this. He said there's pork in

(24:13):
there and there's too much waste, and that was and
this is all on a tweet. It was it's again
it's inside baseball and high school Bologney, and it's all
about PBMs. So if you don't know what a PBM is,
it is a pharmacy benefit manager that was supposed to

(24:35):
lower the cost of drugs and instead never really did that.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
And they make a lot of money. It is a
middleman and they make a ton of money.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
And this was part of the stuff that was in this,
But there was a lot of stuff inside of the bill.
But see you pick and you choose the bill, and
you say, all right, they're trying to kill this bill
and this is ridiculous. And then you go and you
find out, oh, look at this, there's something in here
for immigration to stop child trafficking a million dollars, but

(25:09):
the rest of the eight hundred trillion dollars is ignored.
And it's the same thing on the other side. This
is what frustrates me about this stuff. Why can't we
just do a bill at a time. First of all,
the accountability of knowing you guys have to be places
is always nice. How funny would that be?

Speaker 3 (25:27):
You mean I gotta be here all day?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Are you being serious right now?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
All day? Yes? All day. But this is how they
get pork and crap through.

Speaker 23 (25:43):
And Elon is.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Different.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
He doesn't approach things the way that we do. Everything's
about numbers and efficiency. It's not about people. And that's
why people say, well, it's so cruel what they're doing,
it's so this dead and together. I don't hear these
same people bitching about Southwest employees being laid off. I
don't hear them bitching about the people this week that
were laid off from Starbucks. I don't hear them whining

(26:11):
and complaining about anybody who's getting laid off because their
company is struggling, or they've upgraded and they don't need twelve,
they only need eight and things are going to be
more efficient. I don't hear any of that. What I
hear all the time is civil servants. They're amazing, they're incredible,

(26:32):
and why the hill that they've decided to die on
is waste and annequated systems rather than be a part
of it and say what can we do to cut this?
And maybe if we actually start to save money and

(26:52):
put money in better programs, we can do more and
help more. But this is again not a fight about
the money. It's a fight about it's it's a power
struggle between Elon more so than Trump and the Democrats.

(27:14):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter tweet at as

Speaker 24 (29:54):
The Brutalist, and then Nickel Boys came in third and
Amelia Perez in four.

Speaker 8 (30:00):
But he adds that what people search for doesn't necessarily
indicate what Academy voters will cast a ballot for.

Speaker 3 (30:08):

You agree, Yeah, there's been a slight misuse of the substance.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
What happened after that one kid? You used to have
it all the time. You don't remember remember what you
really don't remember. I don't know what more you want
me to remember.

The end of House of Treaties.

pope is dead.

Speaker 26 (31:41):
The throne.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
It's very good an American. I wouldn't have to go
back to Russia.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
M okay, so who should marry?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
So those are.

Oscar guesses out to you for free. Now here's the
beauty of it. I've seen zero of these movies, not
a one, none, zip zips nothing, none of these movies.
I have not seen any of this. In fact, I
didn't even know some of these movies existed. But the

(32:49):
last here we go, and I'm going to give you it.
And don't be surprised if I get a lot of
these rights. Actor Adrian Brody, he wins for the Brutalist

(33:14):
Now this has come down to two, Demi Moore or
Mickey Madison. I'm gonna go with Mickey Madison, actress in
a supporting role. Zoey Saal Donna for the movie that

(33:36):

That's what I'm gonna go with. I could be wrong,

Speaker 2 (34:37):
I don't know. I'll never see any of these movies
unless they happen to be on and I can't find
the changer.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
I was bombed.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
I thought The Brutalist looks cool, right, So it's gonna
be a movie about ninjas and stuff, because it's all
about it's the brutalist. Now, it's not that it's about
an architect that comes over. It's just it's one of
those slow burns, if you will, so you've got your oscars,
you don't have to watch him. I'm wondering if this
is going to be the I Hate Trump resistance. I'm

(35:06):
assuming it's going to be that way. It could be wrong,
but you never know. Three two, three, five, three eight,

backed off some of his other statements that have been

Speaker 2 (36:20):
All of the things. If you missed the news show,
grab the podcast. It is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 3 (36:54):
The hypocrisy of many.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Republicans out there. Not all, but there were a lot
MAGA supporters in particular. I'm looking at you who were
kind of celebrating the Tate Brothers yesterday coming to America.
If you don't know who the Tate Brothers are, scumbag's extraordinaire.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
My brother and I are largely misunderstood.

Speaker 27 (37:24):
Andrew Tate, a self described misogynist with millions of followers,
is accused with his brother of forming a criminal group
allegedly luring women to Romania and sexually exploiting them. Andrew
was also charged with rape. Police rated the home of
the far right influencers and arrested them in twenty twenty two. Andrew,
a vocal supporter of President Trump.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yeah very much so. And so they were arrested in Romania.
They had cam girls and they lured them there allegedly. Again,
this is all allegedly, and they are awful. So and
I'm throwing this out there because again I give to
both sides a chickin the ass. There's a group young

(38:11):
Republicans in Tampa Bay who are like inviting him over.
What the hell are you doing? You're probably disappointed about
the Epstein files. You mean, the guys who are on
that list who trafficked in young women you're upset about.
But these guys you're cool with. You're cool with these guys. Really.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
You know who's not cool with them? Your governor.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
We have no involvement in that.

Speaker 20 (38:37):
I read about it through the media. Clearly, the federal
government has jurisdiction whether they want to rebuff his entry
into the United States, and I have confidence that whether
it's Pam Bondi or Christy knowing that they will be
looking at that.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Are they looking at it? I don't know, because.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
The rumor is that somebody in the White House essentially
got them the opportunity to get out of Romania.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
I would say dodge, but that's nowhere near Romania.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
I didn't know anything about it. That's Trump.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
They asked him, did you know anything about it?

Speaker 2 (39:13):
I know nothing about that.

Speaker 19 (39:16):
I don't know you're saying he's on a plane right now,
are Yeah, I just know nothing about it.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
We'll check it out, We'll let you know. Yeah, did
the White House help lobby to end the travel Band?
Because once the Travel Band did it, they just jumped
on a plane and bounced Florida.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Don't want him there.

Speaker 20 (39:33):
Florida is not a place where you're welcome with those
that type of conduct in the air.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
And I don't know how it came to this.

Speaker 20 (39:42):
We were not involved, we were not notified.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
They are Grade A one's comebacks. And I'm saying that
because they are.

Speaker 23 (39:50):
Now.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
I'm not saying Romania is the the Bee's knees of
perfection and just swell and awesome, because I have a
feeling it can be at times, maybe not forgiving, maybe
not so swell, maybe dirty. But you've got tons of

(40:15):
women who've come forward, tons of them. So when I
asked about the Tate brothers yesterday, Trump said, know nothing
about it. But the brothers have been the subject of
not only high level discussions between US and Romania, Romania
officials say the US counterparts brought up the brother's case
with the government. Earlier this month. Richard Grennell, the Special envoy,

(40:37):
again talked to them at a security conference in Munich
and they were mentioned during a conversation. But they're saying, ah,
we didn't really have anything to do with this.

Speaker 28 (40:49):
The Tate brothers were first arrested in late twenty twenty
two in Romania, and they were accused of human trafficking
and of organizing a criminal group for the ex exploitation
of women. Andrew was also accused of rape. And what
they are accused of doing by multiple women is of
tricking them into believing they were in love with them,

(41:10):
luring them to this compound they have outside Bucharest, and
then while they're essentially pressuring them to start working in
poor conditions as webcam models.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
And keeping them there. Oh now, it's all alleged. But
the hypocrisy of people celebrating this not everybody. I'm not

(41:43):
saying everybody. So if you like I find them a
horrible I find them horrible and abhorrent. Bah, I don't
need to, but there were plenty yesterday of people that
I talked to, but like they're getting railroaded, like, Okay,
it's always your size that gets railroaded, right, it's nobody

(42:05):
else's side. But as you're waiting for the Epstein files
to drop and you got the what with that, you
can't think that this is a good thing. This guy,
So let me tell you about this guy. And I
think why it's important is because young men in this

(42:25):
country are rudderless. They're lost, they got nothing they feel.
And I'm talking about the gen Z, you know, mid
level millennial down to the gen Z. You can throw
millennials in there, I guess across the board, but young men.
And we talked about yesterday to the left and not
just kind of left. The young women are there. You know,
there's a difference between being a Democrat woman. Maybe you're

(42:46):
pro choice, but you're not like I'm not third trimester
pro choice, and you're fine with the marriage of quality,
but you're like, I don't think that they girls and
guys should play sports together. Uh, And I don't think that,
you know, kids should be read to you at a
drag show. And it's a difference between you know, I've
always said this a Berkeley Democrat and a Democrat in Dallas,

(43:09):
two separate things.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
But why it matters is the younger eighteen to forty.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Study they did on women and how lonely, miserable the
uber progressive liberal women in particular they are, and how
unhappy their life is. They're way out there on the
progressive side. Young men have been told their entire life
it's all your fault. Everything's your fault. If you use

(43:41):
the word masculinity, what happens, Oh geez, it's toxic. And
they got sick and tired of it, and so they
looked around. Who's somebody that's not going to tell me
it's my fault. Who's somebody's who's going to say, you
know what, your dude, stand up for yourself. Boom Tate Brothers.
Andrew Tait is misogynistic, he tells you so. He says

(44:04):
he hates women, has super sexist views. He says women
are property, just to name a few things that he says. Now,
a lot of that is again, it's all show in
so many of these things. But when guys are looking

(44:29):
for something, they gravitate towards something. And these guys are
mixed martial arts guys, write crypto bros. You know, video games,
and you know it's and they head towards that and
it that's why it matters, because we got a bunch

(44:52):
of young men who are rudderless, they're adrift. They feel
like the world is telling them, hey, it's all your fault.
And by the way, this is black, this is brown,
this is white, this is Asian. It's all your fault
because of the patriarchy, misogynistic everything's your fault. And if

(45:13):
you're a white guy yet it's doubly your fault. But
still it's guys across the board. And so they head
over to people like these guys, as one person said,
they lie on the manispheres extremes.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
That's why.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
It matters. And I'm looking at this article about why
the Democrats struggle with men and how they've abandoned men,
and in this article, it's like giving, well, this is

(45:57):
what they need to do, and everything was exact exactly
the opposite of what young men want to do because
they've got no idea. Right, the Democrats are useless. But
as I'm reading this article, it's again tug well, the
masculinity is okay, but we need to redefine masculinity. No,

(46:20):
that's not what they want men, want to be men,
and when you fail them, they turn to people like
Andrew Tate because you don't have fathers in the home
all the time, you don't have strong fathers in the
home all the time.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Because we've devalued the father.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
And in doing all of that, lo and behold, people
start to look other places and where do they look.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Online?

Speaker 2 (46:46):
And they gravitate towards people who are strong, people who
are not going to tell them, hey, you are toxic.
By default, you are toxic. The word masculine is a

(47:08):
bad idea to even mention anywhere outside because masculinity is
by default itself evil.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
And then they look around.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
I might get into this a little bit later because
I find it fascinating and I find the hypocrisy in it,
because I think, you know, they're like, we're misunderstood. You're not.
You're not misunderstood, your scumbags. And I'm sure I'm gonna
get some hate from the lovers of entertaining them out there. Sorry,

(47:48):
it's just.

Speaker 24 (47:50):
Sad.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
And when they don't have a place where they feel
they're welcome, especially young men, they're gonna go find a
place where they feel they're welcoming. These guys welcome them
with open arms, and I can't blame them for being
welcoming because a lot of young men feel completely abandoned.

(48:18):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter tweet at

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Saying, hello, my name is Able. The care take you
for each summit?

Speaker 1 (49:58):
I'm sure about pastimes the.

Speaker 11 (50:00):
Way I've seen.

Speaker 29 (50:01):
We just found to a one deceased person inside the house.
But are they moving off?

Speaker 1 (50:08):
No, dude, they're not moving just sing somebody up here.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Really quick on their way.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Okay, that's nine one one call.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
When I think it was a worker or a maintenance
person found Gene Hackman and his wife and the dog dead.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
And it started out yesterday.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Ah, nothing to see here, right, just they passed away,
probably carbon monoxide poisoning, and then it was like it
could be suspicious.

Speaker 26 (50:43):
The sheriff in Santa Fe is saying, this is gonna
come down to an autopsy and assuming that they do toxicology,
which they probably will, to know where their drugs in
their system was this. Did they take something that caused
them to die, or was their carbon monoxide in their blood?
Toxicology can take in many areas eight weeks, nine weeks,
even longer sometimes.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
And I mean, I still feel like it's carbon monoxide,
but you don't.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Know there was no gas in there.

Speaker 26 (51:11):
But because it appears that they had been dead for
a very long time, it could have been weeks, it
could have been months that with that front door open,
that then the gas could have gone out the front door.
The one dog died in the kennel. There were two
other dogs, but they were free coming and going from
a doggy door.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
So the two dogs were fine. One dog was in
a kennel and died, but the door open. How did
the door get open? That's an interesting thing.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
And the other thing too is.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
He's got three daughters, and his daughters all said he
was in really good health, but then talk to him
for months, which again feel's kind of weird.

Speaker 26 (51:45):
Quite honestly. They have to look at not only a
crime in this which no indicator that there was one,
but they have to roll that out carbon monoxide even
down to There have been some questions. He was ninety five,
she was sixty five. What if she had a medical
emergence and had died in some other way. She was
more decomposed than he was, and that at ninety five

(52:07):
years old, he wasn't able to respond to it appropriately
and then had his own issue like he fell.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Three two three, five three eight twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson's show to Twitter your Instagram check out
Chad Benson Show TV. That is your YouTube. We appreciate
it when you do that right here on the Chad
Benson Show. He was ninety five. Isn't it weird?

Speaker 9 (52:32):
Though?

Speaker 3 (52:32):
You have three daughters and he didn't hear from them.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
They didn't.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
They said, well, I don't heard from for months, but
he was in, you know, good health.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
I thought that's weird. I didn't know how long they
were dead. I'm sure we'll find that stuff out soon. Meanwhile,
bigger news Ukraine Zulenski, the meeting.

Speaker 19 (52:55):
Were very well advanced on a deal, but we have
not made a deal yet. So I don't like to
talk about peace keeping until we have a deal. I
like to get things done.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
That was Trump yesterday with Kiyostama. So Zelenski will be
paying a visit. This is going to be interesting. He
has softened his tone a little bit as they get
ready to sit down and they're supposed to sign something
today when it comes to minerals, I'm not quite sure
what it looks like.

Speaker 6 (53:23):
They're going to be signing something today according to the President,
but it still sounds like that President Zelenski is trying
to extract from President Trump security guarantees that's been that
big hang up on the Ukrainian side. They want to
get guarantees that the United States would be there to
support Ukraine after a peace agreement, after the war ends,

(53:47):
if they were threatened again by Russia.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
I don't know if Trump's going to give that. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
We'll find out if he gives that today somewhat at
least kind of allude to it.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
I think his whole thing is he wants the Europeans to.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Give a pledge of not only were we going to
increase the amount of money that we're spending on defense,
but we're going to be there for Ukraine because it's
in our backyard. We'll find out three two, three, five,
twenty four to twenty three at Chat Benson Show to
your Twitter. It is the Chat Benson shown Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
We were talking earlier about masculinity, and remember on the
campaign trail, tampon Tim Tim Walls he's the new masculine
and that whole failure of the Democratic Party to try
to you know, white guy is for Kamala or whatever,
dudes for common It was just in Tim Tim Tim Well,

(55:05):
what do you say about Tim Well? You know what
Tim's added again, Guys, He's not gone away and he
wants to remind everybody of who we're dealing with in
the White House.

Speaker 30 (55:13):
You see the nonsense is being put forward on that
we're gonna need your voice there because I would just
ended with this, and we're seeing these town halls that
charismanic leader's not going to come there. You know, I
see the plummits on TV. What's wrong with the doing
the Reading Party. What's wrong is our country's being sold
by fascist and Nazis and what's trying to do.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Trying to do.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
AICA.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Sorry I had to play my Nazi music there. It's
not really That was a war song that the German soldiers.
It's very big back in the day. But anytime you
evoke Nazi stuff, I got to bring it up right,
like it's Rika Soong Eerica. So Tim does what he
does because it's just great, you know, easy to do.
Go after it's all Nazis fascists. People are like, really,

(56:12):
tell us who those people are.

Speaker 24 (56:13):
They're asking me to apologize because of that. No, I'm
talking about the people who are openly Nazis. Look, look,
we have folks marching in the streets. We have a
woman in Quartelaine, Idaho, pulled out by a militia. I'm
talking to a group of supporters and saying what's going
on in our country right now is we have people
who are openly Nazis and fascists trying to take our
country and we need to push back. This is this

(56:35):
has been last ten days, Washington Post, New York Times
talking about these folks in Ohio. So no, I'm not
going to apology. The question I have is why are
they not condemning them? Why are they not condemning these
people who are in Ohio doing these things to us?

Speaker 2 (56:47):
So, no.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Nazis in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Well, apparently a majority black Ohio town we're going to
be targeted by neo Nazis. It's called Lincoln Heights, and
there's a bunch of people out there garden the streets.
People are looking into what took place, what was the response,
what was going to happen? And I'm trying to figure
that out. Okay, so what was did they arrest a

(57:14):
bunch of people? Well, it was a dozen black clad demonstrators,
some who were armed and holding Nazi flags, marched on
a freeway overpass. Okay, are you sure they were mad
at the black people or they If it's okay, you.

Speaker 15 (57:29):
Can do that.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
You can have the Nazi flag only if you hate
the Jews as law as you hate Israel.

Speaker 3 (57:38):
It's good.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
I don't hear you guys talking about that. I hear
you talking about anti Semitism. I'm not going to hold
every politician accountable for a few dumbasses out there.

Speaker 24 (57:48):
Now if they have tendencies of to not say anything.
I am asking those people in Washington, why are they
not condemning this? Why is the Department of Justice not
condemning these people who are doing that. So this is
the story that the Republicans are asking about. As we
watched the federal government keep on all of our rights,
as we watched them go through the Social Security Administration, as.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
We watch them do all this. This is their focus.

Speaker 23 (58:09):
Be better, well, be better, be better, be better, be better.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
I'm gonna explain this to you, Tim Kamire, There you go.
Why didn't they condemn it? Well they marched on a
freeway overpass, okay, and well they they demonstrated, and they marched,
And did they kill anybody, did they fight with anybody? No?

(58:35):
What exactly did they do? Look, I think they're a
bunch of dips, you know. I don't want to say it.
Anthony's like you beep too much. You beeped too much.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
Set on that, Anthony, But there.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Are a bunch of clowns. You didn't get an argument
for me.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
Oh you know.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
But they were exercising their first Amendment. That's what they
were exercising. Now, if they would have attacked, shot, fought
any of that stuff, absolutely you go after them. But
those are actions. This is a free country. And remember
we remind you the only speech in theory, and it's

(59:13):
not really I mean, because speech is speech, but the
only speech that's protected, according to the Supreme Court was
the speech that people deem hate speech. Unfortunately, that's changed
to pretty much anything that somebody doesn't like. But before
you go out there, and say why haven't they condemned it?
I could look at you and say, why haven't you
condemned what Black Lives Matter did in your city? Why

(59:34):
haven't you condemned all of the anti semitism on college
campuses that it's ramping up again. Why aren't you condemning
all of that. I'm not going to ask you to
condemn everything all the time, because that's asinine and stupid.
But I expect nothing less, nothing less than asinine and

(59:54):
stupid from people who are looking always for the gotcha
moment three to two, three four twenty three at Chadventon
show is your Twitter tweet at his text the program
speaking of gotcha moment right and being full of hate joy.

Speaker 31 (01:00:10):
They are, and an Elon Musk kisses his butt and
strokes his his tiny ego or big ego, whatever it is,
and he doesn't get to do he can take a
nap while the guy was not born in this country,
who was born under apartheid in South Africa, so has
that mentality going on. He was pro apartheid, as I understand,

(01:00:31):
itizen right, he's a natural he's a naturalized Oh really,
how did he do that?

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Did he come over the board of leave.

Speaker 15 (01:00:41):
Blew in.

Speaker 13 (01:00:41):
Yeah, he allegedly overstate that vs.

Speaker 23 (01:00:44):
Subject.

Speaker 31 (01:00:44):
But I think this is just perfectly but wonderful for Trump.
He's can take a nap and let this foreigner, foreign agent,
you know, an enemy of the United States do his job.

Speaker 23 (01:00:54):
Anybody else.

Speaker 32 (01:00:59):
You are to go to necessarily call him an enemy
of the United States.

Speaker 8 (01:01:02):
Let yet, let's get a blow a.

Speaker 23 (01:01:03):
Minute, Ryan.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
God, she is, she is beyond a douche canoe. I'm serious,
it's amazing. So wait a minute here. You know, if
Elon was brown and you said that, they'd have fired
your ass, they would have. How dare you say that
to an African American? Canadian? He's Canadian too. He's got
like three different passports. We're talking about passports the other

(01:01:30):
day and the whole you know, can you buy a passport?

Speaker 29 (01:01:31):
And what was it?

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
The gold the Gold card, which of course is.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
You know, maybe gonna be out there, but you're you're
always an enemy of He's really really he's an enemy
of Oh God, who continues to green light the house
Frau show? Who does that? Who's that for? Well, he's

(01:01:59):
an enemy of the state, is not even American, but
he is an American he's also Canadian and he's South African.
You just insult in an African American Canadian. That's probably
not something you want to do there. Speaking of the
Gold card, well, I think it's.

Speaker 33 (01:02:16):
A privilege to immigrate into the United States. Many of
us in America have an immigration story in our background,
and so allowing the business community to import people into
the benefit of the United States. Right, our immigration system
is supposed to serve Americans, and so this hits right
at the bullseye of common sense.

Speaker 23 (01:02:34):
In our country.

Speaker 33 (01:02:35):
We have people who have skills, knowledge, capability, and resources
that want to come and live the American dream with
a Green Card or a Gold card in this case,
why shouldn't we do that?

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
It hits right down the pipe common sense, common sense baby,
which as we know, is not always as common as
you think. That is a CBP leader there, Ron Vattillo
talking about it's common sense to a allow this to happen.
Don't let Elon in there. He's an enemy of the state.
He's gonna start selling all kinds of stuff off. According

(01:03:06):
to the One and Only joy Bear, it's never joyful,

Chief Vestment Officer, Board Capitol joints the program straight Ahead,
Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 25 (01:04:55):
If you like talk radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
You've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
It's that time of the week to talk to our
good buddy, friend of the show, sponsor of the show,
Zack abram Chi, Investment Officer, Board Capital. We were talking
pre show, pre show talk if you will, you said
the stock market might be getting a little spicy.

Speaker 29 (01:05:15):
Yes, sir, spicy pecante, however you want to say it, Flick,
but I will also too. Look, it's it's you know,
this reminds me of a classic scenario. You know, the
Chinese word for risk is the same word for.

Speaker 23 (01:05:29):
Opportunity, right, It's the words synonymous. And I just think
that that's all over the place.

Speaker 29 (01:05:35):
I think that you've got a lot of valuations, a
lot of things that are very concerning here in the US.
I'm not worried about the market overall. I don't think
we're you know, looking at some big, huge market drop,
but I think the impact is going to be similar
because so many investors, you know, like like at no
other time in US history, there's no comp where you've
got such concentration of wealth and investors in so few names.

(01:05:58):
Everybody's still in those names is because of what they've done,
not what they're going to do. And I just think
investors are so offsides right now because you start comping
around the world really interesting right now.

Speaker 23 (01:06:10):
There's probably ten overall.

Speaker 29 (01:06:12):
Countries that are up more than ten percent this year,
and then MEG seven here in the United States is
down seven and a half. You haven't seen that in
a really long time. The crazy part about it chad
in the last year and a half, with this multiple
expansion blowout in the SMP. Like most investors, we were
focused on that. We weren't paying attention to how that

(01:06:34):
was happening. What it looks like is that all of
that multiple expansion over the last two years here in
the US came directly at the cost of every other
stock market in the world, So it was.

Speaker 23 (01:06:45):
Just suff siphoning cash out.

Speaker 29 (01:06:48):
You go into those markets now, so you're a point
now where internationally speaking, you have never ever had stocks
trading at as big of a discount to the US
as they are currently.

Speaker 23 (01:07:01):
Never. Here's how drastic it is.

Speaker 29 (01:07:04):
We manage about somewhere between eight to nine hundred million,
and of that about half a billion.

Speaker 23 (01:07:09):
Five hundred million is what we're actively managing in markets.

Speaker 29 (01:07:12):
We've been over the last month acquiring some more of
these international names just because there's some unbelievable companies that
that are trading at seven times earnings. And if you
just took that country and made it based in the
United States and be trading at fifty or sixty times.
I can't tell you how many times we've come across
either a stock that we love or an ETF of
a country that we love at a five hundred million

(01:07:33):
dollar portfolio. I can't get into it, and there's not
a volume, there's no money in these markets. At some point,
the United States has been the magnet for capital all
around the world. Okay, at some point those flows reverse
and the United States markets become the funding mechanism for
other markets around the world. Okay, we think that time
is upon us. Why you got a scenario where what's

(01:07:56):
more likely? You know, the US makes up fifteen percent
of the global economy, yet our stock market makes up
seventy percent of global stock market valuations. It ain't going
to ninety chen. Now here's where it gets really interesting.
Let's just say we get a bit of a rebalancing,
which is clearly needed. So let's say instead of making

(01:08:17):
up seventy percent, it falls to fifty five, still historically
on the very high side. Here's what people aren't missing.
The US going from seventy percent to fifty five percent
of global market capitalization would mean the capital going into
international markets went.

Speaker 23 (01:08:35):
Up by fifty percent.

Speaker 29 (01:08:37):
That's insane when you look at the valuations of these
things and the volumes, and the fact that nobody's there
when money starts flowing into these and I like, and
I'm not talking, I'm talking like companies that are growing
at fifteen percent a year, paying seven percent dividends, trading
it less than brook value. So trading it less than

(01:08:58):
the value of their assets. Right, So the market is
effectively saying this business is worth nothing. And you go, well,
how is a business growing at fifteen percent, paying a
seven percent dividend with twenty one percent market.

Speaker 3 (01:09:11):
The public is saying, in their mind, it's worth anything, right,
And so.

Speaker 29 (01:09:14):
I'm sitting there going, we'll thank you very much. I
actually think it is worth something. I'll take that off
your hands, and I'll just tell you, man, I've been
doing this for sixteen years. I've never seen valuations like
this to the point where we're having to adjust the
way we look at things. Meaning, we've got an awesome
that gas company, that's just awesome. They're they're kicking tail
on every level. They've bought back so much stock they
can't buy it back anymore, and so they're paying it

(01:09:36):
out in the form of a dividend.

Speaker 23 (01:09:37):
They're paying thirteen and a half percent.

Speaker 29 (01:09:39):
And so when you see those yields, my initial response is,
all that company's in trouble.

Speaker 23 (01:09:45):
People go, why would you think that?

Speaker 29 (01:09:46):
Because nobody would pass up on a thirteen percent yield, right,
a fourteen percent dividend.

Speaker 23 (01:09:51):
So usually when you see dividend.

Speaker 29 (01:09:53):
Rates anywhere close to that, what the market is telling
you is that this company's in financial trouble and they're
probably gonna have to cut their dividend.

Speaker 23 (01:10:00):
We're looking at these dividends and you're going through the financials.

Speaker 29 (01:10:02):
You're sitting there to wait a second, are we missing
something This company's it's revenues are increasing, net cash, no
debt on the balance sheet, it's growing revenues at thirteen fourteen,
fifteen percent a year. It's cash flowing like crazy. It's
paying thirteen percent, and you're going, there's nothing wrong with it. Yeah,
just that nobody wants it because it's not tech. Well,
look if I and for people to understand this, guys,

(01:10:24):
fourteen percent yield compounded.

Speaker 23 (01:10:26):
The stock doesn't need to go up.

Speaker 29 (01:10:28):
If you get that yield for four years compounded, reinvested,
you double your money.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
Talking to Zach Abrahm, CHI investment Officer bull Or Capital,
I hear all this stuff and people think, oh my god,
foreign markets.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
I'm not quite sure about that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Like for the average investor, I think this is something
you got to you got to break it out for them.
Why this is good, Why this gets you excited.

Speaker 29 (01:10:46):
Here's the thing that gets me excited but also concerned
about the average investor. The average investor has never been
as underinvested in international stocks, commodities, energy metals.

Speaker 23 (01:11:00):
We have never been less invested in that stuff than ever.

Speaker 29 (01:11:03):
And now when you look at fundamentals and valuations, we
have never seen a period of time in the last
one hundred years where this stuff was priced more advantageously
when you comp it to the overall market.

Speaker 23 (01:11:17):
It's just the valuations are remarkable. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
Talking to Zach ABRAHMCHI investment Officer, Board Capital. People want
to reach out to you, what do they do?

Speaker 29 (01:11:23):
Go to Borardcapitalmanagement dot com, Know Your Risk Radio dot com.

Speaker 23 (01:11:27):
We're really easy to find.

Speaker 29 (01:11:28):
We're gonna have that webinar coming up where we're going
to work in some of these charts to show you, guys,
the opportunity. And just as long as all of us
have been alive, there has never been a spread of
valuations between us and the rest of the world. And
it's just an incredible opportunity. And you and I both know, man,
all the big money's made at the swings and the turns.
I think we've got a big turn upon us right now.

(01:11:48):
And if not, if not, here's the wonderful thing. If not,
we've got a wonderful opportunity to buy a bunch of
assets and a bunch of companies at crazy cheap prices,
which that's music to myers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Absolutely really good talking able doing nein next week.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Inflation Nation. We've got a report out. What could it
mean to all of us?

Speaker 34 (01:13:38):
The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index that Federal Reserves preferred
measure of inflation, rose three tenths of a percent from
December to January and two point six percent from a
year ago. Both numbers track with what analysts were anticipating.
Even as prices were rising, so were wages. The Commerce
Department says personal income increased nine tenths of one percent

(01:13:59):
last month, So.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Not great, kind of where everybody thinks it is. And
it goes back to this, how do you feel? You
feel good? You feel bad? Do you feel indifferent? Are
you going to wait and see approach? Because all of
these this price index and this over here, and what
about this? And we forgot about that. No, let's not
forget about this one. And then there's this one. They're
all going to try to manipulate them the best they

(01:14:22):
possibly can. This one takes out gas and food and
water and air and sunshine and home prices, and all
it looks at is socks are socks on the rise? No, well,
then inflation's down. It's a game. Consumer confidence is the
only thing that matters. Are you confident in what's happening.

(01:14:43):
If you're not in, it doesn't matter. If you're not
confident and you don't feel like things are rocking and rolling,
then nothing else matters. And if you have enough people
that aren't confident, well then that's when things get a
little sticky, if you know what I mean. Speaking of sticky. Yesterday, Oh,

(01:15:11):
the excitement that was or in some cases wasn't because
people were waiting for the list which list, you know,
the list, the listless, the listless, the Epstein, the Epstein List.

(01:15:38):
Oh my god. Well, well, first of all, let's talk
about it, because online people were a buzz as they
waited for it. The excitement it was growing moment by moment,
inch by in second, pie second.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
And then finally.

Speaker 23 (01:16:05):
It happened.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
What influencers got a damn copy of it on a
some sort of like here's a folder, like you're in
tenth grade and they're all holding it up. Look at earth,
we got this.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
You're like, oh, oh wait, what.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Well, I bet they blew it wide open because they
opened it up. And what happened. Well when they open
it up, remember those cards you can get for a
Hallmark and you open the cards up and it's like
seeing you happy part Day?

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
Remember that?

Speaker 35 (01:16:40):
Remember that that?

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Remember remember Yeah, when they opened it up, it went
like this, ah geeze.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
Not everybody was happy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
Reaction the sort of mixed reactions we saw.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
We definitely saw some support from lawmakers who have been
pushing for this information to be released. But then we
also saw at least one lawmaker who voiced outrage at
the lack of new information from these records about the
Jeffrey Epstein case. Epstein obviously the convicted sex offender who
was charged with trafficking young girls. But Representative Anna Pauline

(01:17:14):
A Luna, she's a Republican from Florida. She posted to
X like I said, voicing some outrage with this, saying
this is not what we or the American people asked for.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
Get us the information we asked for.

Speaker 4 (01:17:25):
Instead of leaking old information to the press, more than
three hundred pages of newly declassified documents contain information like
Epstein's contact list, flight logs for his private plane, and
a list of victims names and phone numbers. Also, the
Department of Justice says this is the first phase of
records and it largely contains information that had leaked to

(01:17:48):
the press in the past, but that it was never
officially released by the Department of Justice. But lots of
public curiosity with this Jeffrey Epstein case.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
But I thought it was I thought it was.

Speaker 24 (01:17:59):
It was a.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
Is there more to it? Well, now that went from
here's the thing coming out to a wait, hold on
a second, this is just phase one.

Speaker 5 (01:18:09):
We released about one hundred and twenty pages of documents.
And I started asking for these documents right when I
came into office and before cash Pttel was in there.
So I ended up getting about one hundred and twenty pages.
We carefully redacted them, of course, to be sure the
two hundred and fifty four young girls women who are

(01:18:33):
victims of sex crimes and sex trafficking, their personal information
was redacted and out of there to protect them. So
I'm going through it, and I kept saying, there has
to be more. There has to be more. I'm assured
that's it. Cash asked the same questions, assured there's no more.
Last I found out, you know this week that a
source told me New York SD and Y they're sitting

(01:18:55):
on thousands of pages of documents regarding Epstein, thousands, thousands,
And of course you've seen the very strong letter. We
will get everything. We will have it in our possession.
We will redact it, of course, to protect grand jury
information and confidential witnesses that the American people.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
Have a right to know.

Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
And Donald Trump is the most transparent president in our
nation's history.

Speaker 8 (01:19:22):
So not only will.

Speaker 5 (01:19:23):
America get the full Epstein files, they will get JFK,
they will get Martin Luther King.

Speaker 24 (01:19:31):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
SDNY, by the way, is Southern District of New York.
Supposedly they have a billion, gazillion pieces of stuff. What
about was in there?

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
DVDs and all these kind of things.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Here's here's don't be surprised if you get a little
bit more and then nothing else.

Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
Don't be surprised.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
It's the deep date at work.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
They're so deep, they're so entrenched.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
I told somebody yesterday, if you really think that there
are you know, like the Wizard of Oz, somebody behind
there pulling the strings making things happen. If you really
think that, do you think they're really scared of a president?
If you really think it's as deep and as evil
as many people out there think it is, that they
had another president killed, That's how.

Speaker 23 (01:20:20):
Bad it is.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
Like go back to all they that Kennedy killed and
probably Bobby Kennedy too.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
If you think that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
Do you do not think for a second that if
there's stuff in there that is bad, that could expose
the deep state that they haven't taken care of business honestly,
And if the SDNY Southern District of New York really
has stuff, do you think they're going, Okay, we'll get
it right to you if it's really incriminating. Now, this

(01:20:51):
was the Republican's version of Haraldo and Capone's Safe. This
is what that is. I mean, there's nothing else. First
of all, the way you rolled it out was just
horse crap. You gave it to a bunch of influencers

(01:21:16):
that was absolute, ridiculously stupid. And this whole thing was
it felt like you found out two days ago that
you had to put on an event, and the best
you could do was like, we'll do bingo. It's like no,

(01:21:40):
it's like this was your version of fire Festival. It
was just it was nothing again. It's you're Heraldo. You
guys open up with the safe and you're expecting to
find I don't know, Jimmy Hoffa, Well that's time wise,
that's just not possible. You get where I'm going with it,
and you open up the safe if you're all exciting

(01:22:00):
to think you're going to find the deepest, darkest secrets
of Capone, maybe some fingers of some missing people, who
knows what, and instead.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
You found the wah wah oh man.

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
We'll find out if there's any more coming. I don't
think there's going to be much. And partially right, the
conspiracy in me is we had a guy who was
friends with movers and shakers, with heads of state, power brokers, CEOs,

(01:22:49):
things of that nature, and yes, politicians, and they said
let's use him because he probably said, let me tell
you what I can do for you guys, and alas
that's what happened, sweetheart deal.

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
And from there, well where you go.

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
And we don't want to be associated with a country
that would use potentially a person who traffics in young women,
to get people in compromising positions, so down the road
somewhere we can get them to go against their best

(01:23:39):
interest of their business of a vote for something of
their country.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
So it can benefit us or an agency or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
Who knows again, because I have a feeling he was
being traffic somewhat itself potentially by saying you're going to
work with this group, this group, in this group, and
you don't really have a say in it. And the
last thing anybody wants is that to come back on us,
because even if it benefited our nation to know that

(01:24:21):
we would have used and or potentially turned a blind
eye and sanctioned a person trafficking young women, that is
vile and disgusting and the whole ends justify the means. Yeah,
that's a tough one for people to uh to swallow.

(01:30:45):
Show is your Twitter, You can tweet at a texta program.
I love hearing from every single one of you right
here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up the Wheel
of Surprise on the Chad Benson Show. But Chad Benson, Joe, the.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
It is that time of the program. We have a
little fun called Wheel Surprise. So we have a bunch
of stuff we didn't get to this week. And so
what we do is we put them on all of
our little sound things. So we've got all these buttons
we can push where the sound goes, and we number
them like story one, and then it'll be like one
two through four five, and then it'll be for whatever

(01:31:42):
you know, the sound goes with that story. And then
story two would be one two through four five or
one two and so on and so forth. And I
don't know what the stories are. It's the Wheel Surprise.
Some of these stories are stuff that I haven't had
a chance to read too much up on and some
of them I've read a bunch it. We used to
get to it because it's busy.

Speaker 3 (01:31:59):
You know how it goes.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
Are you guys ready for it? Little Wheel of Sir Prize.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
Number five?

Speaker 35 (01:32:15):
In some ways, Alicia Ortiz is living an American dream.
The nineteen year old began her freshman year at the
University of Connecticut in Hartford this fall. She's excited to
study public policy the culmination of hard work after moving
north from Puerto Rico as a child. Do you remember
when you first came to Connecticut.

Speaker 36 (01:32:33):
Yes, I remember. I was very nervous, but I know
it was gonna be better opportunities for me to learn.

Speaker 35 (01:32:43):
But Alicia says, those opportunities never came to fruition even today.
Could you read this or would it take you a
long time?

Speaker 36 (01:32:50):
It is in passive. I is seeing as worse everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
This story is so interesting. She's suing because she's in college,
graduated with honors, and oh, by the way, she can't
read or write. I want you to understand how ridiculous
this is. She cannot read or write. She graduated with honors,
and now she's pissed and she's suing.

Speaker 35 (01:33:16):
Alicia graduated from the Hartford Public school system last year,
but she says today she is illiterate. She still doesn't
know how to read or write.

Speaker 37 (01:33:25):
When she was in early education, they would just either
tell me to stay in a corner and sleep, or
just draw a pictures flowers for them.

Speaker 35 (01:33:39):
And when she was in high school. She relied on
speech to text programs and other apps to read and
write essays. So if you had an assignment where you
had to write something, you'd open up a document.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
Like this and then do what I would go here.

Speaker 36 (01:33:55):
She used a Texas speech says dictate the tay yup,
I love Pisa.

Speaker 35 (01:34:01):
This is how you would do your assignments.

Speaker 13 (01:34:04):
And then cats of the.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
World of the ak sporting a twin prop airplane.

Speaker 35 (01:34:08):
If you had to read something, that's how you do it.

Speaker 23 (01:34:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
So she's got this phone app that she just puts
it over you know, the paper, and then it reads
it to her, and then it was text to speech
when it came to that.

Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
She doesn't know work.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
She doesn't understand this. She graduated with honors. Do you
understand that? The insanity of this? Graduated with honors in
college by the way, at Yukon. And they're like, well, jeseuz,
we can't get rid of her now because it's a
little horrible. She can't read or write. She ain't the
only one out.

Speaker 35 (01:34:40):
There, she said. Her mother, who does not speak English well,
tried to get answers.

Speaker 36 (01:34:45):
She advocated so much. She went to the school the
principal will promise her that they will do better, and
sometimes there will be people from the district or the
directors promising heard how they would do better.

Speaker 35 (01:34:59):
Now is suing the Hartford Board of Education and the
city for negligence. The suit alleges the school district documented
and acknowledged Alicia's learning challenges through multiple grades, but because
they were not adequately addressed, she continued to struggle academically
and began exhibiting maladaptive behaviors in the classroom.

Speaker 36 (01:35:18):
Sometimes I will feel proud to be the bashio because
at least I was sunking to them and I wasn't invisible.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
What a horrible story and a failure again on the
education system. And I've read the whole story. We might
talk a little bit more about it on Monday. But
the craziness of their like, well, it's because of you know,
we just don't have the funding. We don't have this.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
I'm like, wow, that's that is.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
You guys are idiots and this doesn't make people feel
good at all? Why should it? You want more money? Yeah,
how about a hard No, it is the wheel of surprise.
We spend the wheel and whatever story at lands on,
we do next.

Speaker 29 (01:36:10):
Number.

Speaker 32 (01:36:11):
Eight Ago, many parents had to fight to get their
kids off of a phone call. But we have seen
things change drastically right in our own homes. Obviously, younger Americans,
especially Gen z Ers, are using their cell phones a lot.
Can't get them out of their hand. But according to
a new study, they're not actually making a phone call.
There's a thing called telephobia. So a study in the

(01:36:33):
UK found twenty three percent of people ages eighteen to
thirty four never pick up the phone at all. Sixty
eight percent will only answer if a call is pre
arranged to avoid spam, which I sort of get, and
then fifty six percent assume and out of the blue
phone call is bad news, so we don't want bad news,
don't call me with that. Conversely, a similar amount would

(01:36:55):
be mad if you didn't call them about good news. Overall,
sixty one percent said they just preferred to talk over text,
and young women in general are more likely than men
to just chat on the phone.

Speaker 3 (01:37:08):
What the hell is wrong with you people? New study
out about this, and it's very fascinating.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
There are people out there who are paid, at times
up to four hundred dollars an hour to come in
and train millennials and gen zers work etiquette and phone
etiquette and it's it's nuts, it really is. I am
fascinated by this. Again, the story you might get into

(01:37:35):
a little bit deeper. And when I read the study,
there was a lady professor from Nottingham, Nottingham like we
robots from yeah, just and she said, you know, is
it because they just don't care to talk on the phone. No,
she said, absolutely, it's fear just they're terrified, absolutely terrified

(01:37:55):
to talk on the phone. It's the Wheel of Surprise.
Number two, number two Mash Yes Today. In nineteen eighty three,

(01:38:22):
it was the final episode of MASH. One hundred and
five million viewers tuned in on this day in nineteen
eighty three. It was crazy about it. It was called
Farewell and Amen, Goodbye, Farewell and Amen. It was a

(01:38:43):
two hour finale and it was one hundred and five
million people. It actually beat the Super Bowl. A thirty
second commercial for MASH on this day one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars the equivalent of one point four to

(01:39:03):
two million dollars today.

Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
That is costlier that year than the Super Bowl by far.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
And it had one hundred and five million viewers on
the night total audience one hundred and twenty one point
six million. That was more than the Super Bowl and
Roots and set a single episode ratings record that is
had been set by Dallas episode of Who Shot Jr?

(01:39:30):
And that wasn't until twenty ten. Goodbye, Farewell and Amen
remained the most watched television broadcast until the Super Bowl
beat it, and as far as episodic television television, still
the single most watched television show ever, not even close
and interesting enough, the number four biggest market, the Bay Area,

(01:39:56):
they had a massive power outage because of a giant storm.

Speaker 3 (01:40:00):
They didn't watch.

Speaker 2 (01:40:01):
The episode could have been higher three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show to Twitter,
that's the wheel of surprise. We're going to wrap it

We'll get to our Razzie picks in a minute, but
first I want to remind everybody this week has been
one of those weeks where things are going so fast
and sometimes we need to.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Rest, take a deep breath and realize what we had.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
A lot of stuff happened this week.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
Throwing a young person just starting out in the world
under the bus.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Here you go again, fire, I is real. My dream
is finally becoming a reality. Police officers love doing it.

Speaker 8 (01:42:06):
They tell me they've been training all year for this.

Speaker 7 (01:42:09):
So for me, it's the fact that Mega, as I said,
is explicitly a Nazi ideology.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
I'm not a hundred dollars walking, I know how. I'll
say that Barny's burning.

Speaker 9 (01:42:20):
Hold got through my bargeting and do my scam. I'm
on morning, It's fine, I'm free.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
I've done my motor.

Speaker 9 (01:42:34):
Again.

Speaker 5 (01:42:35):
It's fine.

Speaker 9 (01:42:40):
Then the truck time.

Speaker 11 (01:42:42):
So we're going to do everything possible to defend the
communities U in a legal way, but in a way
that people throughout the country can replicate.

Speaker 5 (01:42:50):
The experience really taught me that whoever goes to prison
as a victim.

Speaker 12 (01:42:53):
First we're getting pinched and I don't know where it's
gonna stop. And that's that's the problem.

Speaker 13 (01:42:59):
It's it's fine, big news.

Speaker 14 (01:43:18):
Tonight will be joy Read's final show on ms NBC.
Single Tear, White Woman tears happening right here.

Speaker 15 (01:43:27):
Joy My show had value, and that that that what
I was doing had value. And in the end, I'm
I'm not I trying not to cry. I want to
see pees I apologize.

Speaker 16 (01:43:38):
There is no colleague for whom I have had more
affection and more respect than joy Read.

Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
Joy Read is a nasty person.

Speaker 17 (01:44:00):
I was terminated last week. People showed up outside of
my building, and I'm here to say the same. This
is not how anyone deserves to end a public service career.

Speaker 32 (01:44:08):
I have a nightm a bold and a four year
old daughter, and I'm worried about my next paycheck.

Speaker 8 (01:44:12):
But I'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
I guess your ass need to get up and work
is not being lazy.

Speaker 18 (01:44:17):
If this continues, the country will become a doctor of
bankrupt It's not an optional thing.

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
It is a central thing.

Speaker 18 (01:44:24):
That's that's the reason I'm here all right, gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (01:44:26):
He's got one barrel left. When he fires that, take
out your pistols and shoot him down like a mangie scoundrel.

Speaker 3 (01:44:32):
He is one of the greats, right there.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
Gene Hackman out yesterday again he passed away, and lots
of speculation and things going on. You know what was interesting.
So everybody's waiting for the Epstein files and all this
stuff was happening.

Speaker 15 (01:44:46):
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:44:49):
In between segments. I would go over to Twitter, and
I always like, what's crazy? Stuff is Alex Jones saying?
And so I clicked on it because you know, everybody's
waiting for the Epstein files, and Alex Jones says, trying to.

Speaker 3 (01:45:02):
Tell all of his luck.

Speaker 2 (01:45:03):
Look, if you think Hackman was part of the Emstein files,
you're a moron. I'm like, well, there's one he doesn't
believe or push out there. I don't think he was
part of the nomination. It's gonna be interesting to see
how the Oscars handles Hackman, because he won twice, was

(01:45:26):
nominated what five times? It'll be interesting to see how
they handle it this weekend. I gave you my Oscar
picks earlier, and as you guys know, I see none
of the movies because usually they're very artsy and well,
I don't even see a lot of movies anyways, but
I'll never see those kind of artsy movies.

Speaker 3 (01:45:44):
I think we all recognize that. But fair play.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
I like to give everybody their due. Ladies and gentlemen,
if you don't know what the razzies are, these are
the worst movies. They'll be announced tomorrow, the winners of
the worst movies. Here's a snidb it from them. It's
the Joker and Holly Show.

Speaker 13 (01:46:04):
Let's get the people what they want. I know this
sounds crazy. I can see the future.

Speaker 29 (01:46:09):
Seeing future is only the start.

Speaker 1 (01:46:11):
There are powers you don't even know you're capable.

Speaker 2 (01:46:17):
Well, build a city that people can dream about.

Speaker 17 (01:46:21):
Pray, fault Tunter, you've come in search of the secret
lost vault of Pandora.

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
You wearing the kids some ass?

Speaker 13 (01:46:32):
Okay, let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:46:32):
You can run from a bully for so long, there's

of shows. We'll see what the weekend holds. I know
a lot of people out there are very disappointed about
the whole Epstein thing, and we gave you our take
on it, and I think if you expected a lot more,
you were fooling yourself. You were because and this is

(01:49:25):
just again my take, I feel like we're probably a
little bit more involved in that, and by that I
mean the powers that be, and you're trying to get
people to do certain things which people.

Speaker 3 (01:49:36):
Don't want that out there, if you know what I mean.
You guys, have a blessed rest of your weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:49:39):
We'll do it again on Monday. It's always night night Jack.
