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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
They're back. That's kind of like the movie Poltery Guys.
But they're here, but maybe not all of them. So
hold on here.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
But we could get the end of the government shutdown,
which is weird because nobody missed you. They just missed
the money. That well, we provide them. No, you don't
provide the money. The money comes from the taxpayer. You
guys just oversee it, like you know, angry bankers.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's a good way to describe it.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
If the bill passes, it will take time for the
government to fully reopen. Agencies will have to call hundreds
of thousands of federal workers who have gone without pay
back to work. The deal funds the government until the
end of January, includes months of funding for SNAP and
calls to rehire the thousands of federal workers the president
fired during the shutdown. What it doesn't do is extend

(01:08):
healthcare subsidies, a key demand from Democrats to keep premiums
from rising for more than twenty million Americans.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Too late, gonna happen, Snap, All that will be back.
How long's that take? Who knows? With government, you never know.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
And one of the other things is you never know
exactly how this thing's going to go. Because everything's always
in the best case scenario.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
This is what happens.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
If all goes according to plan, this will be the
end of the longest government shut down in US history.
So remember all of this came together in the Senate
some days back over the weekend, when those eight Democratic
senators joined with the bulk of Senate Republicans, came to
this deal. That doesn't give them an extension of these

(01:57):
Obamacare tax credits that Democrats have been fighting for over
the course of this entire shutdown. It just guarantees them
a vote on those tax credits.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
A vote, does it.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
We'll get to that in a second, because that's what
Thune said. But Thune is in Mike Johnson, and Mike
Johnson is into Thune. If you get where I'm going,
the Thune doggle machine said one thing. Mike has a
different opinion about that. By the way, Keeme Jefferies, ladies
and gentlemen.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
Let me first welcome House Republicans back to the Congress
after this seven week taxpayer funded vacation.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, I look, I'm not thrilled by the way that
our government acts. But a last here we are Okay,
so something's gonna get done and we move on. The
question comes down now to is this going to be
the issue that is going to close the government again

(03:00):
in January? And will that be the impetus for the Yeah,
I know, right, impetus.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I know.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm using all the big words and stuff from my
big word it's thesaurus thingy. Will that be the impetus
for the Republicans to say, screw it, let's just get
rid of the filibuster and go Because you're hearing more
and more of that, and Trump's argument is, of course
they're gonna do the same thing.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
They've already said it.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I mean, James Carville came out the other day and said,
the first thing that the Democrats are gonna do is
they're gonna eliminate the filibuster. They're going to pack the court,
they're gonna throw Puerto Rico in, and they're gonna throw
DC in.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
They're gonna have four new centers.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
And you're just like, oh my god, this is what
our founding fathers didn't want. Now, the filibuster, by the way,
it's not in the Constitution. Our founding fathers didn't come
up with it. They wanted to deliberate body the Senate
to be in a situation where there was more compromise.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
You weren't being moved by the whim of the day.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
But there were things that you could do back in
the day that were not somewhat similar but allowed certain things.
That was called the previous question motion, all right, and
it was a British you know, parliamentary procedure kind of thing.
So the then eighteen oh eight or eighteen oh six,
somewhere around their Vice President Burr, he simplified the rule

(04:25):
book and removed the previous question motion. But what that
did is it created the possibility of unlimited debate, and
the first filibuster didn't co until eighteen thirty seven, and
then that's when things started to change. And look, is
it annoying. It is we want the minority group to

(04:46):
have some sort of voice and some sort of of
repercussion to have their voice heard. We don't want it
to paralyze anything. The issue, though, has become where you
look at our founding fathers and you look at the
the the governments of the past. The extremes now will

(05:07):
will rule in such a way that this there will
be wild swings and that's the issue. I think that
that that our founding fathers and our and you know,
not just our founding fathers, but you know governments from
yesteryear would worry about because we've thrown so much out
of the window, the quorum wise, and and and now

(05:29):
we're going to be in a situation where I just
think we're gonna have these wild swings. So yeah, I
think next year the filibuster is going to be gone,
and then what you're gonna have are massive swings from
uber conservative to uber progressive, back to uber conservative, back
to uber progressive. And then it's gonna be one of

(05:50):
those situations where it's going to be like, you know, whiplash,
which is something none of us want. So we'll see,
we will see what happens.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
And I thought i'd bring that up because of what's
going on with obviously healthcare, and the healthcare issue is
a massive issue. And so John Thune is guaranteed the
Senate they'll have a vote on the floor, except for
the part where Mike Johnson may never let it get
that far. I don't think they're going to let it
get that for Mike Johnson, you know, he is you

(06:22):
know they've got stuff going, they've got stuff brewin. We've
got things right, we got we got to come to consensus.
We've got things of bruin. It's happening, right, so you know,
settle down right. It'll happen when it happens.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
This isn't a very important point.

Speaker 9 (06:34):
We were always open to sitting down to negotiate and
talk through how to reduce health care costs. It's it's
a crisis for the American people. The cost of skyrocket
and it's the Democrats who put us into this scenario.
Remember they're the ones that created the ACA, and we
call it the Unaffordable Care Act, which that's exactly what's
been yielded since twenty ten. Since they put it into law,

(06:54):
Premiums of skyrocketed some estimates sixty percent overall, and they're
continuing to go up. Well, premiums were skyeting before Obamacare, too,
not at this pace. And the problem is now it's
becoming completely unaffordable for more and more people. The Democrat
solution is to subsidize the broken system. We would like
to go in and look at the root causes of
why those costs are so high, and we've been doing

(07:14):
that it's not just talking points. We have had laws
signed into law this Congress that have begun to chip
away at that. There's a lot more yet to do,
but we've got to build consensus between the parties that
should be bipartisan.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
We're looking forward to that.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, I don't buy a lot of what he's talking about,
you know. I mean, again, some of the stuff that
they've done, you know, as far as you know, trying
to bring down some of the prices for certain medicine
stuff I.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Think is great. But do I think that they're really
thinking about No.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
And he's right though, about the fact that the Unaffordable
Care Act, this is this is a Democrat thing. But
the last time I checked, both Democrats and Republicans, no
matter what either side says, they're Americans and so they
work for the American people. So because the other side

(08:06):
did something that didn't work out at all, became more
expensive and has caused much more headaches than it really
should have ever caused, doesn't mean you go, well, it
was their fault, they should clean it up. No, that's
not the way this works. The way it works is
you for years have said that this is a hot mess.

(08:27):
I agree now it's time to figure out how you're
going to be a part of the solution rather than
allow this problem to fester. Because the American people now
look at this and say, hey, okay, well you know what, Republicans,
time to put your money where your mouth is. Time
to do that. I absolutely, one hundred percent think to myself,

(08:53):
you have to if you're the Republicans, take advantage of this,
you do, because affordability is still the issue that people
are talking about, especially after the other night the the
Trump bizarre interview with you know, Laura Ingram, who, by
the way, I thought she did a fairly decent job
talking about affordability. Of course he's he's just a hoax,

(09:16):
which is, you know, a bunch of crap. But the
affordability side, that is also part of the healthcare conversation,
and you wanted to fix it for years. The chance
to fix it is now. So show the Democrats, look,
this is what needs to be done. Three two, three, five,

(09:36):
twenty four, twenty three Act you had Benzon shows your
extra insta YouTube and more. Meanwhile, guess what we've moved
the Gerald R.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Ford. So it is Gerald R. Ford, Gerald Ford. It's
a big ass boat. Is what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Battleship getting ready to take on the mighty Benezuela.

Speaker 10 (09:58):
The Pentagon has been stepping up operations in the Caribbean
and Eastern Pacific, attacking at least nineteen alleged drug smuggling
boats in recent weeks, killing nearly eighty people. Now, America's
largest warship, the USS Gerald R. Ford, has sailed into
the region. The US built up there now totals about
fifteen thousand troops, more than a dozen ships, and more

(10:19):
than eighty planes.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, that's a lot. They're kids, that's a lot.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
You know we're talking about, you know, to my clients yesterday,
one of the things I asked of was said, man,
you're not sending all of those, those those men and women,
the soldiers into an area like that with a force
that size and then leaving without doing something besides shooting
some you know, fishermen's boats and some you know, low

(10:46):
level drug dealers and sinking their boats and killing them
and not getting rid of Maduro, who you call some
sort of you know, evil scourge to the world, because
if you did, all that does is ebolden him to
say I stood up to the evil that is America.

Speaker 10 (11:04):
In response, Venezuela's president, Nicholas Maduro has ordered a massive
mobilization about two hundred thousand troops, along with missile units,
fighter jets, and civilian militias. His defense minister says the
country is preparing for guerrilla style warfare if the US
strikes now. Maduro accuses President Trump of fabricating a war,

(11:24):
but the White House insists the US is only targeting
drug cartels, not trying to topple the Maduro regime.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, and I've got some ocean front property in North Dakota.
That's how far that away is? Three two, three, twenty
four to twenty three. Atch i'd Benzon shows your extra
insta YouTube and more. Happy Happy Wednesday, one hit wonder Wednesday.
Got a good one for you today. Should piss off
some of the ladies. Speaking of that as also a
white woman. Wednesday, we have some fun with our white

our friends at Birch Gold Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
We used to do a thing.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
On this year's show called Weed Wednesday, we talk about
the insanity if the way that government wants to regulate weed. Well,
guess what snuck into the Appropriations build the other night
from the Senate is something that once again, government knowing
what's best for all of us, is about hemp. What Yeah,

(13:34):
THC in the hemp in the hemp snuck it right
in there under the wire because that's what they do.
Why would they do that because they know what's best
for us? Okay, you don't know what's best for you.
I want to remind everybody. I don't smoke, I don't drink,
I don't do drugs.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Would be something Adamant would say. I don't do any
of those things. I'm what they call a teetotaler, not
just a tee totaler. I'm a gold star. Never had
a drink, never had a smoke, never done a drug.
As an adult, you should be allowed to make your
own damned decisions in life.

Speaker 11 (14:06):
After weeks, the Senate has moved forward with a spending bill,
but there are new fears tonight a provision in that
bill could upend the hemp industry nationwide.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
It changes the definition of what a hemp plant is.

Speaker 11 (14:20):
The provision introduced by Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell would tighten
THHC limits and make most hemp derived products illegal across
the country and for small retailers like Clara Jane and
East Nashville. It's personal.

Speaker 12 (14:33):
The potential for us to not be able to serve
our community in a way that we've been able to
so far. I get it makes me like super emotional.
There's a lot of really great people that come into
this building.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Again, it's changing the definition because well, because we need
to control that. You don't even understand what they're doing.
I do understand. My goodness, me, what the hell is ah?
This is the insanity everybody wants to control.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
We know it's best for you.

Speaker 11 (15:01):
If passed, the bill would limit finished temp de rivee
products to no more than zero point four milligrams of
total THHC per container, threshold experts say would wipe out
roughly ninety nine percent of the market.

Speaker 13 (15:13):
This bill that is being currently passed federally is going
to effectually close the doors of all the head businesses
in the state and throughout the nation.

Speaker 14 (15:22):
We're seeing the rise of this THHC industry that is
continuing to target young people, targeting young adults. And they
know that their office come not from weekly users or
of someone who does it once a month, but the
person who comes in multiple times a day. So ultimately
this is a big step in fighting this addiction for
profit industry three.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Two, three, five, three, twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Shows, your ex you're into YouTube and war
radio The Chad Benson Show. Okay, why aren't you going
after the food industry more? That's what you should be doing.
What do you think has a bigger effect on our society?
Obese people and kids who've been targeted by you know,
the cheeto guy or weed which you have to be

(16:05):
twenty one to get.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
But yet it's a gateway drug. Shut up up so.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Ridiculous speaking of getting high by going in the air.
I mean with the travel chaos going on, it looks
like again sooner read later, we're back to normal. The
question is when to the people like the air traffic controllers,
get themselves back to normal and get themselves made whole
when it comes to their pay.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
It starts to pay those air traffic controllers who have
been working without pay. We already heard Transportation Secretary Sean
Duffy say yesterday that within twenty four hours to forty
eight hours after the government is funded, air traffic controllers
will start to see at least seventy percent of the
back pay that they are owed, and then in the
remaining few days they'll get that additional thirty percent. So

(16:54):
he's been saying to air traffic controllers, some of whom
have been calling out looking for other jobs, causing those
delays at airports, come back, the pays on its way,
The pay is going to be distributed.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's time to return to work.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Okay, first and foremost, and this is most important here.
They didn't shut the government down. Okay, they didn't the government.
Politicians shut the government down, so they didn't cause any delays.
They for the most part, still showed up and did
their job. They have bills, they have a life, and
you're deciding as politicians when you're going to get back

(17:28):
to work.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
So to say that they cause.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
These delays is disingenuous. If you're miss any of the show,
grab the podcast. This is the Chet Benson Show. That's
why they're delays. You're missing the show shame when you
grab the podcast chet.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Benson jow then Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's Wednesday on the Chad Benson You Show, and you
know we do on Wednesdays. We have a little fun
called white Woman Wednesday. Now you're thinking of yourself chat
that's not very nice. What if they're being race into this.
It's because mostly progressive women, white progressives, and the hilarity
of some of their craziness makes me laugh. Okay, I'm

(18:27):
not saying it's not crazy. People in the right right,
we can do right Woman Wednesday. I could do some
of that too. I got to find some of those.
If you have some of those, send them to me,
because you know me, I'll make fun and poke fun
at everybody. Because look, some of the stuff we joke about.
You know, there's some truth in some of the stuff.
It's the way that everything is an overreaction. And this
one is a goodie right here. This is our friend Jess. Okay,

(18:50):
her name is Jess. So we've got Kylie and Jess
very very woke. And by the way, if you do
find them, be kind to them. I'm kind to Kylie.
Have not talked to jet. Yes yet, but I sent
Kylie you know, my regards all the time because she
does say some stuff and the Maga goes after and
a bunch of other people do, which I find to
be abhorrent and ridiculous. Okay, we may have a different opinion,

(19:11):
but guys, get your heads out your button. Stop being
so mean to people. But this one is spectacular. This
all has to do with a Sephora ad that came out.
My wife brought this to my attention the other day,
and this is a Sephora ad with Mariah Carey, and
how people read into this is uh, it's pretty interesting.

Speaker 15 (19:34):
We need to talk about Sephoras holiday ad and how
it feels like such a slap in the face to
consumers in the working class.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Bad news, Mariah Carrey.

Speaker 15 (19:41):
The elves are striking this year, elf revenge for putting
us through holiday hell. Over the past year, we've seen
rising costs, calls for a general strike, and with the
government shutdown, we've seen wide exploitation of labor. Trump literally
just went on a tie rad against the FAA. Starbucks
workers are organizing a strike. Conversations are on class solidarity
and the impact of government policy on work people are.

Speaker 16 (20:00):
Constant right now.

Speaker 15 (20:02):
Drives and collective labor action are some of the strongest
tools we have.

Speaker 16 (20:05):
So for a strike to be the.

Speaker 15 (20:06):
Punchline in an ad, it's definitely a choice.

Speaker 16 (20:09):
But it gets worse.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'm pawning all this so I can afford elf therapy.

Speaker 16 (20:13):
That's my blush.

Speaker 15 (20:14):
Elf boy, I'm pawning this to afford therapy is especially
toned off. The shutdown and subsequent Senate vote to reopen
the government is going to lead to higher healthcare costs.
Millions of Americans are not going to be able to
afford basic care, including therapy.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Okay, first of all, this is a makeup commercial, right,
How did you get all of that out of a
makeup commercial? I mean, I feel like it's a reach
a do I feel like this is a reach here?
But this is a makeup commercial we're talking about and
Mariah Carey long before there were issues with every kind
of thing that we see in the world of government.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
I'll let you guys know a little something.

Speaker 17 (20:52):
She's been known to be very difficult to deal with,
regardless of the season, There has been how should we
say this, more than a few people that have said in.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
The past it's a little tough deal, little with her.
But how you got from Sephora.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
And these ads to working class pawning stuff?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I'm it's it feels like it's a reach.

Speaker 16 (21:20):
And so what's the AD's response to this?

Speaker 2 (21:22):
You can't cancel Christmas?

Speaker 8 (21:24):
Any last words?

Speaker 18 (21:26):
Yeah, it.

Speaker 13 (21:32):
Can.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
We know.

Speaker 15 (21:34):
I want to be surprised if you can't cancel Christmas
is exactly what Son and Democrats said, who capitulated to
Republicans and corporate donors reopened the government without securing those
ACA tax credits, and CERN was not protecting working people.
It was appeasing donors, avoiding disruptions to holiday spending and
air travel. And this entire ad is a microcosm for
the same dynamic, a glossy, high production message that sides

(21:55):
with corporate power over the working class keep the consumer
machine running.

Speaker 18 (21:58):
The fact that.

Speaker 15 (21:59):
Sephora chose to approach this holiday campaign through the satire
of striking workers, it's deeply disappointing. As someone who spends
a lot of money, it's for him, and as part
of a broader pattern that we've seen all year, adds
that mirror our larger political moment, whether it's the Sidney
Sweeney Gene ad, the Matt Right Bad for Elf and.

Speaker 16 (22:15):
Now the Sephora spot.

Speaker 15 (22:16):
They're all just tapping into the same systems that are
defining this era patriarchy, white supremacy, and ultimately capitalism.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Okay, so I just want to revisit everything here. This
is an ad for makeup right. Sofor I know what
Sephor is. I am raising daughters, so I know what
Sephora is. I have a wife who love herself some Sephora.
This this wait, what how do we get to patriarchy? On?

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Just feels like a reach? It does. It feels like
a reach there on this one. It's pretty spectacular.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
I mean, Kylie's got some but Jess and by the way,
the entire time, if you've ever seen this girl, and
by the way, I guess and God bless her, and
you know she's she's taken some bad situations where I
think she got hammered for some of her beliefs online
and she got fired from her job, and she's turned
this into her thing as being an influencer in the

(23:13):
world of politics as a youngster, which is was just great.
But ninety nine percent of the time, if you see
any of her videos, it is her putting on makeup,
and I'm not gonna lie to you.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
She's a little easy on the eyes, so you know.

Speaker 15 (23:30):
Just.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
For just giving you painting you the picture of it.
So it's kind of funny that you went from Sephora
and you readily admit that Sephora is you know, you
spend a lot of money there. But then you went
from there to oh my god, elves have to pawn
their stuff to get healthcare. I don't really what, let

(23:52):
me know what you think. It's just interesting all the time.
Kids speaking of issues in the economy, pop you're reeling
from did he just say that moment the other night
with the likes of Lord Ingram and Trump talking about
the economy.

Speaker 19 (24:08):
The line is price is affordability. That's the new word, affordability.
It's much less expensive under Trump. And you'll and I
haven't been here long. Nine months is not a long time,
but look at what I've done to energy. Look at
the price of gasoline going from four to fifty to
two fifty or two seventy, it's going to be two
dollars gasoline.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
People want affordable.

Speaker 19 (24:28):
Well, the economy is my thing, and we have the
greatest economy in history.

Speaker 16 (24:31):
Are Republicans not selling it?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
For Republicans don't talk about it.

Speaker 8 (24:35):
Yeah, so they need to do a better job on
Capitol Hill.

Speaker 19 (24:37):
The TRAbs give false talk and the Republicans are And
I said all the time, Republicans have to talk about
the fact that prices are down.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
They no more.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
Thing is very important.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
So the Walmart thing that he's talking about is Walmarts.
And again I am one of these guys. I want
to know the exact truth about you know what it is.
So Walmart's Thanksgiving bundle is twenty five percent cheaper than
it was last year, But there's a caveat. I think
there's five or six things less in this year's bundle

(25:12):
than last year's and last year had mostly named brand.
This year has more of their great value store brand
as far as the food that's in there. So twenty
five percent cheaper, but you also are getting about twenty
five percent less with no name brand when it comes

(25:33):
to certain things. So you know, potato potato. Look, as
I said last night, and and I've said over the
last few days, come out be more empathetic with the people.
See Trump's thing is everything's the greatest in the history
of the world. Right. When it comes to him, there's
never been anything greater, and there's never been anybody who's

(25:55):
been more of a victim than you know, than him. Right,
So that that's the way he goes with all of
these things. And so when you sit here and you
listen to him, he wants them to go out there
and convince people. The problem is, and you know, somebody
said to me yesterday, Chad, these polls are stupid.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
I said, here's a poll for you.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Walk into any grocery store and talk to twenty people
and ask him, do you feel like prices are down?
Do you feel like there are some things that are down,
but there are a lot of things that are up.
And yeah, it's great what he's doing with gas. And
I love that.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
I love that. Who doesn't. It's great And it'll be cheaper,
you know.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Again, you know where I'm at, you're going to find
some way cheaper gas. You know, whether you're in Texas
or Florida, or you know, or or Tennessee comparatively to
California or Hawaii, you're gonna have cheaper gas. But that
being said, there's a lot of things that are more expensive,
and tariffs have a big role in that. But you

(26:54):
can't tell people how they should feel. And I said
this yesterday and somebody said, dude, I was totally thinking,
you're full of crap.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
And then when you said that, I get it.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Now, go home to your wife or your husband, right
your kid, whoever it is that you're close to boyfriend, girlfriend,
your significant other and they've experienced something, and you try
to tell them what they experience isn't real and that
you know it's all made up and that they just

(27:29):
don't get it. You tell me how that goes. You
get right back to me. I'll wait for that. And
I had several people go, you know what, Okay, I
see where you're going with this. Again, it's the same
thing Biden did. It's a mistake, and the mistake is
simply this. Don't discount people's feelings. Doesn't mean they're a
hundred percent right, But you have to take their feelings

(27:52):
into account. And here's the thing about the feelings and
the data and the facts. Go to your checkbook. Saw
a movie the other night. It cost us for the
family of well, there was five of us that went.
It cost us two hundred dollars. We had a little

(28:15):
bit more expensive tickets because we went to the forty thing,
which was amazing to see The Predator. But with the candy,
prices are through the roof. And the reason people's like, well,
you should take your own candy. First of all, I'm
not gonna bring candy into those placess. The reason is simple.
I've had friends who've owned theaters and that's how they
make their money, and I wasn't going to do that

(28:37):
to them.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, they don't.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Get a lot off the ticket sales, especially the first
couple of weeks, and stuff doesn't stay in theaters very
long anymore, so it's not like it used to be,
so it was still ridiculously expensive. I think it's about
one hundred dollars for a family of four to go
to the movies right now.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
That's expensive. Can I blame it all on Trump?

Speaker 3 (28:56):
No, But you can't discount what people are seeing in
their account and what they're feeling. And when you do
that and you make it seem like they're the ones
who have an issue and you gaslight them, well guess
what they get angry about that, like they did with Biden.
When Biden's entire administration kept going. It's great, you just
don't know how great it is. Well, guess what it

(29:20):
wasn't Inflation wasn't transitory, And now you're not here. And
the reason is simple, because you didn't listen to the people,
and because you were one hundred and seventeen, he shouldn't
be president. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three. Atch you had Benson shows, your ext

Straight Ahead Chad Benson.

Speaker 18 (31:08):
Show, Deep States No Deep Doo doo. Yeah. The Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Show, then, is that portion of the program we have
a little fun at every single Wednesday. We call it
one Hit Wonder Wednesday. This is when we play a
song right and we revisit some of the coolness of
that song and the artist. Sometimes the artist is that
the song was amazing, it stuck around forever. Sometimes people
remember the artists far more than do the song, but

(31:42):
once again, they never had another hit. And sometimes both
the artists and the song are around full eva and
we got a good one for you today. Let's get
to it.

Speaker 18 (31:55):
Now.

Speaker 20 (31:55):
It's time for another edition of One Hit Wonder Wednesday.
You may not remember the name of the.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Band, but you definitely know the song.

Speaker 20 (32:22):
This person, this is one Hit Wonder Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
All right, want to hit Wonder Wednesday today? Now, I
just want to tell you guys, is I'm gonna preface this.
I didn't make this song up. I didn't sing this song.
I didn't write this song. But the song does make
me laugh.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Song went to number one, was on the charge for
ten weeks. Huray back in the Day nineteen sixty three.
May of nineteen sixty three, number one sold over a
million copies. Singer of the song his name is James
Lewis mcclease. He had a short lived career and he
was truly a one hit wonder. He was born and

(33:00):
raised in Norfolk, Virginia. Started singing in church choirs as
a teenager. He was known locally as the talented gospel performer.
Then he switched to secular music and he took the
nickname that everybody gave him when he was in church
because it said he sang with so much soul. So
he said, I'm gonna change my name to Jimmy Soul,
and he did, and in nineteen sixty three, at the

(33:21):
age of twenty, he recorded a song that makes a
lot of men laugh and a lot of women go. Oh,
if you want to be happy.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Hey, if you want to be.

Speaker 21 (33:38):
Don't want to be never gonna go out to you.

Speaker 22 (34:01):
Since not things, not preg but if you know that, am.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
If you want to be oh, that's right now.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
You guys are getting mad at me, but it is funny.
You want to be happy for the rest of your life.
Never make a pretty woman your wife.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
The song was humorous.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
It was based on a Calypso song from like the thirties,
and it was a smash hit. Unfortunately, not a lot
happened after this. He released a couple other singles, they
didn't go anywhere. He eventually left the music industry, went
into the military, left the military, and eventually struggled with drugs, alcohol,

(34:52):
and died in June of eighty eight. Yes Come.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
But a Move a real hilariously.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Fun song that makes people dance around and laugh, so
don't take it personal.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
But come on, you're not laughing a little bit. I
thought so.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Three, two, three, five, twenty four to twenty three at
Chet Benson Show. Is your extra Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more.
Your one hit wonder on this Wednesday, Jimmy Soul if
you want to be happy right here on the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up, our number two of the program.

(35:44):
A lot of stuff still to get to. More on
the economy, obviously, the shutdown Benezuela, Menezuela, socialism, what Smitch's
stuff about socialism as the battle of Mandanni being the
worst human being on her some of the stuff that
people are saying about him as. So we're gonna talk
a little bit about how fear is now replaced common sense, discussion, data,

(36:09):
facts and nuance because it's just easier to try to
scare somebody into stuff.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
We're talking about that as Wellcome.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Misty show sham, but you read the podcast. Our number
two straight ahead, Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:53):
The government is getting back to work. Good bad is
what it is. Let's be real.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Most of you, if you work for the government, what
you want was you to actually get paid for working.
The actual government side of it, meaning the politicians who
will take their victory lap celebrating what they got done.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
You know what, we can use less of that. I
think most of you agree with it.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Why do you not like politicians, Well, first of all,
they're politicians. They're always selling you something that they rarely
can provide. They never tell you the honest to goodness
truth about situations. It is a frustrating thing. And I

(37:47):
blame us, the voters, right, the customers, if you will,
because we continue to.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Put these people in power.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
But the system is a bit rigged because obviously neither
party wants to allow another party to come in. They're
going to do everything they can to defend their territory.
That being said, we've got to do better. We have
two parties that fight for what's right for them and

(38:15):
for us. We sit here and we have to pick
up the pieces of whatever mess they left behind. But
the government looks like it's going to be open.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
some days back over the weekend when those eight Democratic
senators joined with the bulk of Senate Republicans came to
this deal that doesn't give them an extension of these

(38:43):
Obamacare tax credits that Democrats have been fighting for over
the course of this entire shutdown. It just guarantees them
a vote on those tax credits.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Now that's a very interesting thing because again, this is
what this big battle was about. And somehow Hemp got involved,
and we'll talk about that coming up a little, but
this was all about healthcare, the COVID tax credits and
subsidies that you know, the subsidies were there for Obamacare,

(39:16):
but then they really ramped them.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Up during COVID.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
And by the way, they had opportunities, the Democrats to
make these things permanent.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
They did not.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
I want to remind everybody of that. They did not
make them permanent. But the reality of what is going
to be facing people in the coming weeks, you can't
deny it. And people are frustrated with the way the
healthcare system is run and they're going to continue to

(39:45):
be that way because I don't have faith that the
Republicans are going to get something done in a timely fashion,
and one that benefits the American people. I would like
to think they would, but as we talked about yesterday,
the truth is, there are so many cooks in the kitchen,
so many people who lobby, so many people who benefit

(40:09):
the thought of getting away from the American taxpayer tit
is virtually impossible for them to do. Now, when will
they vote? Because they got to vote. Remember it went
through the Senate, it's got to go back to the House.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
They got to vote.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
The vote in the House is scheduled for early this
evening to get members time to get back here to
Capitol Hell. Once the House passes this bill ahead to
the President's ask for his signature, then begins the process
of reopening the government, including calling back hundreds of thousands
of federal workers who have been going without pay for
the last forty three days.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Yes they have, not the actual politicians they've been getting paid,
but the government workers they've gone awhile without getting a check.
So this is I mean, it's go time now. And
when all is sudden done though, right, they can pat
themselves on the back. They can say all these what

(41:00):
are you doing now for the people? I could sit
here and everybody you know, it's so easy in my business.
You know, everybody blows smilings. Its greatest economy of all time,
and this has never been better. And this is exactly
what you know Obamacare. We can see it now and
it's full glory. It's full glory.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Is it's crap? Okay, it's crap.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
It's that dude or chick you thought was hot in
the club and then you've come outdoors and it's sunshine
and light and you're like, ah, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Right at best, it was barely a warm body center.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Republicans have promised a future vote on healthcare, but it's
highly unlikely that one pass out. A town hall in Iowa,
Republican Congresswoman Marionette Miller meets basing questions about the GOP
plan for health care.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
So we need to bring the cost of healthcare down.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
Unfortunately, in twenty ten, when the Affordable Care Actor.

Speaker 16 (41:59):
Was in put, it may have been shot down.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
Many Americans now confronting the reality of those rising healthier costs.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
What's your new plan?

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Do they have a plan? Don't they have a plan?
I don't know, you know it is, I don't know
if they have a plan.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
I have to be honest.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
I mean, they have talking points, but that doesn't fix
your bank account. If you have to pay eighteen hundred
dollars when you're paying five hundred, right, that doesn't fix
the situation that you find yourself in now when it
comes to healthcare, if you're having to go, screw it.
I'm just going to roll the dice and see what happens.
So I don't know if they have quote unquote a plan.

(42:50):
I think they have talking points, and I think that
you know, and look, we can sit here. You know
the Democrats are going to well they own it now. No,
you guys own it too, because this was your plan.
This was your idea, So your ass needs to be
a part of the fix, okay. And you know, just

(43:13):
because they promised them a vote doesn't mean they're going
to get a vote. And I've heard more people in
the last several days who send me their latest cost
of what's coming to them in a few months.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Some people have gone from you know, a couple hundred
dollars every two weeks to now.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
They're looking at you know, twenty four to twenty five
hundred bucks and they're just like, I don't know how
I'm going to do this, And several of you said,
you know what, I'm gonna have to roll the dice,
and that's it. And that's it, and that's the thing
that's I think a lot more people are going to
roll the dice than people realize. If you're really sick,
you're going to figure out a way. If you feel
relatively healthy and you're you're you're you're looking at a

(44:00):
you know, eight hundred nine hundred thousand dollars jump in premiums,
you're like, yeah, you're probably going to roll the dice
on this. I'm probably going to do it. You know,
my family's relatively helply. We'll pay cash and if something
else happens, we'll just have to go from there.

Speaker 8 (44:14):
This isn't a very important point.

Speaker 9 (44:15):
We were always open to sitting down to negotiate and
talk through how to reduce healthcare costs. It's a crisis
for the American people. The cost of skyrocketed. It's the
Democrats who put us into this scenario. Remember they're the
ones that created the ACA we called the Unaffordable Care Act,
which is that that's exactly what's been yielded since twenty
ten since they put it into law. Premiums are skyrocketed

(44:36):
some estimates sixty percent overall, and they're continuing to go up.
Premiums were skyrocketing before Obamacare, too, at not at this pace,
and the problem is now it's becoming completely unaffordable for
more and more people. The Democrat solution is to subsidize
the broken system. We would like to go in and
look at the root causes of why those costs are
so high, and we've been doing that.

Speaker 8 (44:55):
It's not just talking points.

Speaker 9 (44:57):
We have had laws signed into law this risks that
have begun to chip away at that. There's a lot
more yet to do, but we've got to build consensus
between the parties that should be bipartisan.

Speaker 8 (45:06):
We're looking forward to that.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Yeah, I'm sure you are. So what's your plan. Here's
the thing.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
You didn't think for a moment that this was coming.
You didn't think for a moment that this was going
to be out there in front of you. There was
nothing in your mind that thought, you know what, maybe
we should get a plan together so we can roll
it out for the American people so when they start
worrying about this, we'll have it handled. No, your plan is, oh,
we've got a plan and it's coming we've already done

(45:35):
a few things. Well, you may have done a few things,
but those prices are going to skyrocket, and it's about
the economy, stupid, and they're going to look at you
and say, Okay, we're still waiting for that plan of yours,
and whether you like it or not, you're going to
be saddled with the rising cost of this because the
government didn't pay for it. I'm not arguing that Obamacare

(45:58):
was good. Obamacare was a nightmare over the seven steps
of why it was so bad yesterday.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
But you wanted to be the fix.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
You've got the opportunity and saying we've passed some bills,
we've signed some stuff, and it's that's that's not changing
what's coming out of their pocket in six or eight weeks,
that is it. So whatever you get done isn't going
to change. Come you know, February, March or April, you'll

(46:31):
be looking at next year and at that point in time, Well,
what's your incentive if you get your ass handed to
you in the midterms to try to fix something before that?
Probably not a lot three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three atch Had Benson Show, is
your ex your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook, and more. Let
me know what you think about this stuff. Again, people

(46:55):
will get mad, and I get it all the time.
You don't right tramp, you know, which is just such insanity.
Here's the way I look at this. If you love
everything he does, you're a sycophant. If you hate everything
he does, you've got trumped arrangement syndrome, which probably the
way you can go both ways. That being said, having

(47:21):
honest conversations absolutely matters.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
It does.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
And this isn't putting blame on Trump or anything. This
isn't putting you know a lot of people, Oh it's no.
This is about having a real conversation about what is
coming for the American people.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
I care about us.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
I don't care about parties and yes, and I'm fine
with people being mad and saying horrible things about me.
I'm okay with that. What I want to see is
we have people out there that we put in power,
that we hold their feet to the fire. And when
they say, well the other side did it all, We'll say, hey, guys,

(48:01):
you know what Republican Democrat that secondary you're Americans. Both
of you guys need to fix this issue. Both of
you do just so ridiculous three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chadmnson shows your extra insta,
YouTube and more coming up some snap Ah, what's going

More of that as well, plus Venezuela. I mean talk
weed as well.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Weed. You say it is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:50):

Speaker 2 (49:52):
It's Wednesday. We like to have fun on Wednesdays. We
call it white Woman Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
We've got a couple of white ladies who love to
tell everybody how awful they are.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
They're very progressive.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Doesn't mean we're not awful, but we do the work
here when others just don't, because that's who we are
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
This's our friend Kylie. She went to brown for those
who not gaming score.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
She loves to lecture us, mostly because we're patriarchal and
misogynistic and racist and all of the things this happens
to be about.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Snap.

Speaker 23 (50:21):
I am Kylie, and here are five types of people
I think deserve food stamps. I've seen so many white
people make videos about.

Speaker 16 (50:26):
Who they think deserves food stamps. And who doesn't.

Speaker 23 (50:27):
And I just wanted to make a video about how
much I paitch you and clarify who deserves food.

Speaker 16 (50:31):
Number one everybody. Everyone. Food is a human right.

Speaker 23 (50:35):
Whether you're a good or bad person, or you're poor
or not poor, you deserve food. Everyone does. Number two students.
A lot of students are full time researchers. They do
not have time to get an additional job to feed themselves.
The subsidized food is amazing for these people. There are
future doctors, lawyers, et cetera. Number three obese people. The
second a fat person gets on here and talks about
how they are on food stamps, the comments are so rude.

Speaker 16 (50:57):
They're like, oh, do you really need foodstams? Clearly you're
eating enough.

Speaker 23 (51:00):
No one deserves food. Why are you pleasing people's bodies.
Doesn't matter what weight you are, you deserve a healthy,
imbalanced meal.

Speaker 16 (51:06):
And last, but not lease, people with kids.

Speaker 23 (51:07):
People are so quick to judge adults for going to
the food pantry, but it's like a lot of these
people have kids. So even if you like to blame
people for being in poverty, which by the way, it's
absolutely not their fault, there are systems up play there.
You cannot blame a child who can't work. Mind your
own business, and stop getting on here to spewing in
hateful rhetoric.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Ooh, very angry today.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
And by the way, okay, look, is everybody in poverty
because of the system. No, there are a lot of
people in poverty because they make poor choices. So let's
settle down on that. Okay, settle down. I know you
get a little angry, get little fired up about this,
my progressive friend, but let's just relax there, Kylie.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Speaking of SNAP.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
Ah, millions of Americans who rely on the federal food
Assistance Program SNAP had been hanging in limbo during this shutdown.
The Supreme Court weighing in as the shutdown is nearing
an end, extending an order that allows the Trump administration
not to fully or immediately pay out those SNAP benefits
for the month of November. But once Congress passes this
bill and reopens the government, those benefits will start flowing

(52:08):
again to Americans.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
It's going to take a few weeks. And the way
it works is is they send the money to the
states and then the states distribute it. Not just one
big federal card three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, your Acts,
your Insta, YouTube and more right here on the Chad
Benson Show. It's not the way that works, so it

(52:32):
is going to take a little bit of time for
everybody gets there.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
SNAP benefits.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
So if you're thinking it's coming in, you know, it's like, okay,
well if they open up fully, you know tonight into
tomorrow that you know, magically that stuff's going to be there.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
I think it'll be there quicker than some experts.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
You know, we'll say, but you know, it is government,
so you never know with what government because their government.
Speaking of Snap, we're about to maybe snap one off
in the old Venice Allen's apparently because they're so dangerous.

Speaker 10 (53:03):
The Pentagon has been stepping up operations in the Caribbean
and Eastern Pacific, attacking at least nineteen alleged drug smuggling
boats in recent weeks, killing nearly eighty people. Now, America's
largest warship, the Ussgerald R Ford, has sailed into the region.
The US built up there now totals about fifteen thousand troops,
more than a dozen ships, and more than eighty planes.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
As we talked to Mike Lent yesterday.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
I would find it hard to believe that we're in
this situation where we send all of this manpower, this
machinery into an area and nothing is going to get done.
It's not if, but when, And I think that's coming sooner.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
Rather than later now. In response to that, first of all,
the boat strikes.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
The UK is not sharing information with us right now
in some ways because of what's going on. I don't
think they're all about the boat strikes. And Colombia and
Venezuela seem to be having a conversation about should they
join forces to get.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Their asses kicked?

Speaker 3 (54:03):
No. Look, Venezuela, you're on your own in this situation.
Do I think we should be there? No? They absolutely this.
None of this serves any purpose for us. But at
last here we are. So if and when it happens,
I was on it first. I want to tell everybody that,
God willing, it doesn't happen. Though it's this Chad Benson
chat Son.

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

Speaker 2 (54:44):
It's Wednesday, so you know what that means. Do the
white woman Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
This is where the white ladies, mostly progressive ladies, sometimes
uber progressive. They like to tell us men who are
heteronormative cisgendered assigned it birth rerecord, ignizing men how much
we suck, and sometimes we do and then sometimes we don't.
Sometimes we get a bad reputation. That being said, they

(55:09):
do lecture us and sometimes it makes us laugh. Our
friend Kylie, she's got.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
A lecture for us.

Speaker 23 (55:14):
I'm Kylie, and here are five ways that socialism has
made your life better. In the United States, there is
a huge misconception that socialism and communism are the same
thing and that communism is taking over in the US, which,
by the way, this is the same rhetoric that's been
used for over a century, and so let's get into it.

Speaker 16 (55:28):
Number One, the public library system.

Speaker 23 (55:30):
Do you ever think about how radical it would be
if we try to introduce libraries today. It's free, You
get a library card, you could read any book that
you want, you can use study materials, you could hang
out there for free because it's funded by the government.

Speaker 16 (55:40):
Number two, social security.

Speaker 23 (55:42):
Being able to retire and get a monthly check from
taxpayers is socialism. And while that fund is drying up
for younger generations like gen Z, which I am a
part of, still has made a massive difference in the
later lives of many people. Number three fire protection services,
Unlike calling an ambulance, which is privatized. If your house
is on fire, you call, they come, and you don't

(56:02):
have to pay because they are largely funded by the government.
Number four public parks, well maintained beautiful green spaces where
you can go hang out for free. And number five, last,
but not least, public education systems. You were able to
go K through twelve for free thanks to socialism, No thanks.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
To the tax payer.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Some of the things she said in there made me,
you know again, there's a reason that the young are
moving towards socials.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
And we're going to get into the numbers here in
a second.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Well, when I listened to that, it's like, well, thanks
to the government, Well, who funds the government, the taxpayer,
who backs the government play when they want to sell
bonds and all the other things they want to do,
that's the taxpayer.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
So that's who covers it.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
The government made decide who gets what, but the taxpayer
is the one that funds there.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Who get what?

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Moment Oh oh yeah, So just saying I recognize that
you think that all of these things are because of
the government. No, it's because of the taxpayer that the
government can do those things. That being said, we have
a government, we have some safety nets, but life is

(57:32):
expensive and capitalism for a younger generation doesn't look fun.
They're angry because you've got an older generation right now.
You don't ever think it's a class warfare.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
It's a generational warfare going on. You have boomers who
have a vast majority of the wealth in the country.
You have a lot of young people who are coming
out of college with already a small more payment in
some cases frustrated and angry because the job market itself

(58:06):
isn't what they thought it was going to be, and
now they're looking around going.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
Okay, I can't afford anything. My goal was to.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
Not have twelve roommates. That's their American dream. And they're
looking at the boomers going, you guys, tell us, oh,
you should go do yourself.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
This is a battle that is going on right now.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
We've been talked last week about the Prop eleven and
thirteen in Texas that passed, which will essentially shift more
of the tax burden wear onto a younger generation when
it comes to things like schools, and whatnot. They're frustrated
and they're angry. It's no reason they're looking around and

(58:50):
going socialism looks a lot better.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Now. We have to define the.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Difference between what is quote unquote socialism communism. When most
people think of socialism, what do they think of and
rightly so, they think of Venezuela and that revolution they
had throughout South America. You know, in the last decade.
Cuba is a communist country. North Korea obviously is a

(59:16):
communist country. Laos, Vietnam, and China.

Speaker 8 (59:21):
But what to.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
Vietnam and China have and Laos, to a certain extent,
have that the others don't. They decided, Hey, we can't
survive in this world of communism the way that it
was you know, pitched to them decades earlier, through the
revolutions and whatnot, because we're not gonna have any money.

(59:46):
We have to have some sort of free market capitalism
to feed our people, to keep the lights on, because
we've seen what happened to the Soviet Union and it
fell apart.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
We can't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
So it's a very interesting thing because you know, that's
where everybody goes. Because we've talked about this fear is
something that is much easier to sell than having a
rational conversation. And what you need to do is change words.

Speaker 18 (01:00:22):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
So it's very interesting you go and look at you know,
because when you hear Bernie talk, what's Bernie really talking about?
Bernie's talking about Sweden. The Scandinavian model. Scandinavian model is
a large social safety net with somewhat high taxes, but

(01:00:44):
it's a open capital, realistic, free market society.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
I can't spell it out any better than that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
They went through the sixties into the seventies and eighties
with a pretty socialist that you would think of, you know,
means of manufacturing, they own the means of production, they
own as far as the state.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
And it did not go well.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
High taxation, to the point where there's a famous Pippy
long Stocking. He has no Pippy long Stocking is well.
Pippy Longstocking, the author of Pippy Longstocking. One year, her
taxes were one hundred and two percent. What yes, her

(01:01:30):
taxes were one hundred and two percent. That was the
effective tax rate. And so she wrote a satirical story
about it. That's asteroid lynd gotten. The or linkornin the
reality is that didn't work. What happened stagnation. They brain drain,

(01:01:52):
all the big businesses left. They went from exporting and
having a society as great to having a essentially a
massive debt bomb. That happened stagnation. Everything slowed down. It
was not a good place to be. They reform that
and all of a sudden they've become what they are,

(01:02:14):
which is a pretty strong nation. And the Scandinavian model's
pretty good. And if you tell a young person, hey, look,
we're gonna have great social safety net. You're gonna work.
You're gonna get all of this stuff that comes with
you working, but you've got to participate as well. You
know what, I think a lot of people go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
I mean, if I'm twenty three and I'm looking over going,
wait a minute here, I can get several weeks off
a year. My boss can't bug me after five unless
it's something absolutely important, and I've given them permission. Right,
if we have a kid, I can take X amount
of time off and the state's gonna pay for it,

(01:02:58):
which is the taxpayer, but everybody's sharing in the burden.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Yeah, you can see why that is a wonderful thing. Right,
sounds great?

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
If you're young, especially when you're saddled with massive amounts
of debt.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
But the truth is, you and I both know it's
a different world. That's a different society.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
It's mostly a monolith society where everybody is on the
same page, pulling in the same direction. Who has serious
trust and belief in their government. We are not that,
and we're not all pulling in the same direction, and
we're very divided. But do I understand why a younger generation.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Feels a poll to it.

Speaker 23 (01:03:42):
I do.

Speaker 14 (01:03:44):
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
There's a reason when Donnie won. Affordability isn't just about
what it costs to go by a latte.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
It was about a lot of different things.

Speaker 24 (01:03:55):
Take a look here at some numbers from Gallup, because
Gallup has been testing this for you years, for decades,
really basic attitudes towards socialism and capitalism. These are the
latest numbers that they came up with. Overall, asking folks,
do you have a positive view of socialism? Thirty nine
percent of Americans said yes. Fifty four percent said they

(01:04:16):
had a positive view of capitalism.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
That's not great, No, it's not it's not great.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Capitalism has given us all the things that we love
and like anything else. It's a tool, and when that
tool is manipulated by the powers that be, by the
people that are working inside of a system like capitalism,
they can be destroyed, no different than anything else. But
do I understand why there's a poll for a younger
generation when it comes to socialism. They're not thinking of

(01:04:52):
abandoning capitalism.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
It's funny because I've talked to a lot of young kids.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
Why because I have young brothers and sisters who are
in their mid twenties, and they'll tell me why. There's
an appeal. But it's not about abandoning capitalism or a
free market. It's about figuring out a way that they
get to participate without having to feel like they have

(01:05:18):
to carry the burden for everybody and fight with an
older generation that seems to have everything. Again, everybody's making
this a class warfare. It's an age battle right now.
It's a battle and us gen xers, guys, just let
you guys know, we are where the nets. We're the
tennis net in this situation. It's going over us and
back and over us and back.

Speaker 8 (01:05:37):
But look at the party split here among Democrats.

Speaker 24 (01:05:39):
Look at socialism that's nationally again, two thirds of democrats nationally,
not talking New York City, but across the country, say
to Gallop, they have a favorable positive view of socialism,
only forty two percent of capitalism. And take a look
here independence Republicans. It is different, slight majority of Independence

(01:05:59):
fail verable toward capitalism. Three quarters of Republicans favorable towards capitalism,
well under fifty percent in each case favorable to socialism. Now,
this trend among democrats nationally also, it's not new. This
has been building for some time. Here again from these
Gallop numbers, take a look at this start on capitalism,
go back to twenty ten. Here democrats were basically split.

(01:06:21):
Then fifteen years ago positive negative on capitalism, and look
at that number. It kind of stayed steady, and then
in the last five years it's fallen down to forty.

Speaker 8 (01:06:29):
Two percent, barely over forty percent.

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
So, yeah, there's a battle that's going on right now.
And the younger generation looked at Trump and thought his
populism was going to help them and that they were
going to have a say, especially when it came to
the economy in a way that is something they feel
is getting away from them. They're looking around, going, well,
the rich are.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Getting richer and.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
We're not even getting poorer. We never got to the
point where it became even middle class. We're stagnant and
feels like everybody's pulling away from us. So yeah, this
is there's a reason people feel this way. But when
I talk to a lot of the young kids, I mean, yes,
you get some of the wacko who's out there who

(01:07:16):
you know, they want to have a government to control
all means of everything, which is you know, we could
talk about that later because Trump's trying to do some
of that stuff, which is kind of funny, but no,
they're not.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Talking about that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
What they want is social safety nets, opportunities, and they
want to have a life as they do it. Like
I said, if I was twenty two, twenty three and idolistic, yeah,
I would.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Be all over that. The world is changing.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
And for those of you who don't understand the millennials,
the gen zs, the Alphas, that's the future and it's
the now, especially when it comes to voting. And that's
why I think Trump right now has made a swing
and a miss with the younger generation because they're pulling
away from him fast and they're looking over and go well,

(01:08:04):
this guy over here, Mandani, he's got a populistic idea.
Is there anybody else in this group of people that
do doesn't mean it'll work in you know, Kansas, but
there's no doubt that it's making some noise. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
Irreverence. Like yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
That is that portion of the program.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
We talk about words, things, vernacular stuff that's said by
people at times who are adults and you have no
idea what they're saying. I mean, you've understand the language,
like I know that word, but it doesn't mean that. Yeah,
they've changed that word too. Oh yes, yes, you know
what time it is. Kids, A little herb more of
the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day. All right, your urban word today, I
like this one, ship or shipped. Well, I know what
that means.

Speaker 13 (01:10:42):
You had.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
A ship is some sort of vessel right usually on
the ocean. And to ship, you know, if you're shipping something,
you shipped, it means that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
You've sent it to me.

Speaker 24 (01:10:52):
Wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
Wrong, wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
It's not what the kids use it for ship like
relationship to support their relationship ship.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Oh yeah, see what they've done.

Speaker 3 (01:11:01):
They've moved that part and they just left that part
ship to support the romantic relationship between two people. Ah yes,
of course. Always, Oh I say we should doing there.
Sometimes you'll see somebody and go, man, I've shipped on
this relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
I'm so into it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Oh see see what I did there. So when you
hear you kids say that, you're gonna go, oh I get.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
It now, I get it now. Shipped or shipped is
your urban word of the day. That was the urban
word of the day. Now you know It's always nice
to know. By the way, always nice to know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
It is. Several of you have chimed in chat. Are
you for socialism? No, I'm not for socialism. I want
you to understand what I'm trying to tell you. Understand
the youth of America and why the thought process of
somebody like Mandani is growing. Why Bernie Sanders had such
a massive appeal in twenty sixteen. People are frustrated, they're broke,

(01:11:59):
and they're looking at and saying, I want that because
it's the thing I think will square it up for me.
Trump had that appeal and right now he's losing it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Not gonna lie to you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Shows, your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more right here in the Chad Benson Show. Coming up,
hour number three of the program. Today got more of
white Girl Wednesday, What Girl? The Senate did something and
came to the appropriation get this thing back down to

(01:12:32):
the House so they could open up the government.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
What did they do?

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Reach out those across all of our social media. We
love hearing from each and every one of you. At
Chad Benson Show is your ex, your Facebook, your YouTube.
You could text the program and leave a voice message
at three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three,
hour number three of The Chad Benson Show is straight ahead.

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

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
It's over, but maybe the chaos is just beginning. What
the government shut down with.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
The longest government shutdown in US history, set to come
to an end, President Trump declaring victory.

Speaker 19 (01:13:47):
The House is going to vote, and I think they're
going to vote positively.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
I think most people want to see it opened. After
a late night vote in the Senate on this vote,
the eyes are sixty, the NAIs are forty. The bill
as an mended this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:01):
Past lawmakers in the House scrambling to get back for
a vote. They haven't had to report to Washington for
fifty three days.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
What does that mean? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
I was I'm still hoping that some of them can't
make it there because of delays in the plains, you know,
they didn't have a crew or whatever. I'm kind of
hoping just because I think it's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
Oh, it's so very nice, Jed.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
No, here we go, all right, So let's get it
open up again and let's see what happens from there.
But there was more than just this delay. We're going
to talk about a few of these things in a second. Obviously,
healthcare is a massive deal in the cost of healthcare.

Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
Center Republicans have promised a future vote on healthcare, but
it's highly unlikely that would pass. Out a town hall
in Iowa, Republican Congresswoman Marionette Miller meeks basing questions about
the GOP plan for healthcare.

Speaker 16 (01:15:00):
You bring the cost of healthcare down.

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
Unfortunately, in twenty ten, when the Affordable Care Act.

Speaker 17 (01:15:06):
Was pass.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
It may have been che.

Speaker 4 (01:15:13):
Many Americans now confronting the reality of those rising healthier cauts.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
Yeah, and that's not going to change anytime soon. And
now the balls in the Republicans' court. You bring the
Democrats on board. Yes, you could sit there and say
this is their fault, they caused this mass et cetera,
et cetera. You know what, I don't care about the
the names on the back of the jerseys right right now,
everybody's red, white, and blue. Get this thing handled, Get

(01:15:38):
your head out your ass. That's what people care about.
My old boss, you say, do big b problems briing
me a solution.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
There you go. How about this? His name is name
is Andrew. He was hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
I'm like, Andrew, I got an issue up chat. You
know what you say about here. Don't bring me problems,
brigb a solution? Okay, good?

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Do that bring a solution.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
Us as Americans, not in the government, not taking money
from lobbyists, not hearing what you're promised or threatened lobby wise,
we can't do that for you. So the solution has
to be you, because you also were a cause of
the problem. Now, well that's going on. One of the

(01:16:25):
other issues that held some of this up is hemp.

Speaker 11 (01:16:28):
What after weeks, the Senate has moved forward with a
spending bill, but there are new fears tonight. A provision
in that bill could upend the hemp industry nationwide.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
It changes the definition of what a hemp plant is.

Speaker 11 (01:16:42):
The provision, introduced by Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell would tighten
THHC limits and make most TEMP derived products illegal across
the country and for small retailers like Clara Jane and
East Nashville. It's personal.

Speaker 12 (01:16:56):
The potential for us to not be able to serve
our community in a way that we've been able to
so far. I get it makes me like super emotional.
There's a lot of really great people that come into
this building.

Speaker 3 (01:17:15):
Yeah, she's upset because they're moving the gold post. And
you know they'll say, well, the reason we're doing this
is because the kids.

Speaker 11 (01:17:22):
If passed, the bill would limit finished temp derive products
to no more than zero point four milligrams of total
THHC per container, threshold experts say would wipe out roughly
ninety nine percent of the market.

Speaker 13 (01:17:35):
This bill that is being currently passed federally is going
to effectually close the doors of all the businesses in
the state and throughout the nation.

Speaker 16 (01:17:44):
Venetian wide.

Speaker 11 (01:17:45):
Advocates for the bands say federal clarity is overdue and
it brings consumer protection.

Speaker 14 (01:17:51):
We're seeing the rise of this THHD industry that is
continuing to target young people, targeting young adults, and they
know that their office come not from weekly users or
of someone who does it once a month, but the
person who comes in multiple times a day. So ultimately,
this is a big step in fighting this addiction for
profit industry.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):
It just it is so infuriating, and I remind everybody, Okay,
I don't do drugs, never have. I don't do anything.
I don't smoke, I don't drink. I've never had anything.
In fact, I don't even like to have, you know,

(01:18:38):
like if you have your tooth out or anything like anything.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
And then they're like, we're gonna give you some til
and all with coding or whatever. I know, I don't
want it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
I'll survive, all right, I'll be fine. I'll survive. It's
never been my thing. I grew up in and around
drugs and I want no part of any of it.
That being said, as an adult, you doing something well, Chad,
This is about the Everything is about the kids. What
do you think kids who yeah, well, you know, alcohol

(01:19:06):
is not a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
And that's the It's a gateway drug chat. It's a
gateway truck chat.

Speaker 3 (01:19:11):
It's a gateway truck I've known two people that they
smoked weed and then two days later they were in
the park doing things for money because they were on heroin.
I'm like, Okay, that's it. What about the gazillion people
that have never done well, it's a gayway truck chat
chat every it's a gaywait chat. Your tur cha has
a gayway.

Speaker 11 (01:19:31):
Truck still money, say, legislating a band through a spending
bill is a political add on one that's keeping the
government closed even longer.

Speaker 13 (01:19:40):
Honestly, at this point, our government shut down is being
held out by him, and it's not him's fault that
it was included in this language in the first place.

Speaker 11 (01:19:48):
And for small businesses, they say, the real fear is
that customers will turn to unregulated sources of stores like
Clara Jane Close.

Speaker 12 (01:19:58):
We want people to be able to consume save products
that are supportive of their bodies, that are supportive of
their mental health, and not have to go on a
black market to get something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
But is she gayway drag chat chat? Shee gayweight drag?
And we know that kids don't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
If you're twenty one, you're an adult. You should be
able so as you're not hurting somebody to get something.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
It's that simple.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
But jid, what about the kids again? Talk to your kids,
Talk to them. Are you under the illusion that your
children will never try to sneak a drink one night
at a party? No, talk to your kids about that stuff.
But when it comes to weed comparatively to alcohol, Sorry,

(01:20:45):
I just and then this, oh, well, the reason we're
doing is for the kids. We're just doing it for
the kids. Oh my god, the kids, and then I'll
get these things. I can't believe you're not taking this series. Now,
I'm an adult doing everything for the kids. Why aren't
we then going? You know, we should do We should

(01:21:05):
make sure that that there's no thh anything. We should
also make sure that there is more than just maha,
that all the fast food and all the junk food
should come out of the public sphere, because I guarantee
you the amount of money the lives lost over time
comparatively to weed is so big. Well, could you say

(01:21:28):
that because obesity things that come with obesity, like congest of,
heart failure over time, right, diabetes. We go on and on,
but this is what they do, and they do it
in the they do it in such a way as
they like to say. You know, we're doing it for
the kids, because anytime you can see you're doing for
the kids.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
That's all that matters. We're doing it for the kids.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
Meanwhile, while this is going on, we have news that
I'm checking and double checking about eppstin coming up, because
I think it's important that we have a serious conversation
about what might be coming with that. Meanwhile, Venezuela, you

(01:22:12):
guys remember that, Yeah, well not so fast. I don't
think we're moving all those people over there for nothing.
What is going to come of it that I do
not know, but I do know the Ford is there.

Speaker 6 (01:22:23):
The USS Ford is the largest aircraft carrier in the world,
with more than four thousand sailors and dozens of fighter jets,
which could potentially be used against suspected drug cartels. The
US has already obliterated nearly twenty votes. The Pentagon says
we're trafficking drugs, the strikes leaving more than seventy five

(01:22:43):
people dead, with big questions remaining about the legality of
those strikes.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
Legal Schmigel, Now, the Senate, and I think some Congress
people have heard the plan or whatever is supposed to
be out there for what potentially may have happened in Venezuela,
which is I have no idea at this point. I
don't think we're moving up to fifteen thousand people in
and around Venezuela threatening the way we have putting a

(01:23:09):
fifty million dollars bounding on this guy and then turning
around and saying ah Maduro, you can say, I don't
think that's happening.

Speaker 6 (01:23:16):
The arrival of the Ford means there are fifteen thousand
US forces in the region.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
The question now is whether President Trump.

Speaker 6 (01:23:24):
Will strike targets within Venezuela or if this is just
a show of force to put pressure on Venezuela's president
to resign. But this morning, Venezuela's defense minister saying President
Nicholas Maduro has now ordered a nationwide military mobilization.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
And we've talked to our buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:23:44):
My clients, right, our military guy who does a great job,
and he says, look, this is not a walk in
the park. They're they're prepping for guerrilla warfare. They've got
up to two thousand people. They've spoken to Colombia as well,
because Colombia is getting a little nervous, and you're looking
at a situation where he's like, we do not have

(01:24:04):
the manpower to go in there. Oh, sure, we can
blow all kinds of stuff up, But to go in
there and to do some sort of regime change that
is a much different thing. So I don't know, and
I think if we walk away from this now, which
I hope we do, it is going to let Maduro know, Yeah,
you know, I sit up to America and that is

(01:24:25):
going to do what That is going to energize him
and make him double down. So now we put ourselves

Beto the Third.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
In the Hong Koi Bridge toy story five, the teaser
trailer was out. It's pretty interesting, actually very interesting. Perforated
septum is also trending. That is Paris Jackson she's got
a perforated septum because of all the drugs she's done. Oh,

(01:28:21):
two thousand dollars Trump trending. No, you're not getting two
thousand dollars, but that out there, but we should be. No,
you're not.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
I know a lot of people get excited.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
THC band also trending because well, yeah, because they slid
something in there, right. And then appropriations in the Senate
to ban any form really in the hemp of THHG,
even the smallest minute amount.

Speaker 2 (01:28:45):
Because yeah, because we don't what's bash for you? If
only able to twigg air x Tish.

Speaker 3 (01:28:51):
Hymen talk about her in a little bit three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three act. She had
been to the show is your X, your Insta, your Utube,
Facebook and more. If you're miss any of the show,
shame on you. Make sure of the podcast right here
in the Chad Benson Show. She was that lady who
confronted the naked guy in the women's locker room a

(01:29:14):
week or so ago, and we talked about it. She
confronted Scott Weiener about safe place for Women's for women,
not women's, the ACA Portnoy HEMP Obamacare, all things trending
in the magical world of x slash Twitter. One of
the other things trending, obviously is the travel world. And

(01:29:35):
with the government coming back, how long is this going
to take?

Speaker 5 (01:29:39):
some days back over the weekend, when those eight Democratic
senators joined with the bulk of Senate Republicans came to
this deal. That doesn't give them an extension of these

(01:29:59):
Obamaca care tax credits that Democrats have been fighting for
over the course of this entire shutdown. It just guarantees
them a vote on those tax credits.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
That's it. Now, What about getting everything back to normal
when it comes to travel.

Speaker 5 (01:30:12):
But the estimate right now we've been hearing from the
Department of Transportation is perhaps a week, may be a
little less, may be a little more to get if
everything returns back to normal, the air travel system back
up to its normal functioning level, and that would be
right in time for the Thanksgiving travel rush.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Which is going to be huge.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
I was looking at a few estimates, and I've heard
several experts say that they're expecting this to be the
two biggest travel days in history coming up that week,
So you'll probably I would say five out of the
top ten travel days in a history will come Thanksgiving week.
So it's very interesting. See how fast I get this

(01:30:54):
thing up and running. If you're missing the show, make
sure you got the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
This is the chat Benson.

Speaker 7 (01:30:58):
Shown chat at Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
I told you guys, the ghost of Epstein would not
allow Trump and this scandal to go away quietly. So
what's happening now is now that the house is back okay,
and there's a lot of stuff going on today, and
I want to get it right. You know, a lot
of people out there rushing to get it first, and
you know, I want to get it right. I've got

(01:31:44):
my people asking questions about what's going on, because that's.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
Who I am.

Speaker 19 (01:31:50):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
Again, it would just be easy if I just came
out and just said something ridiculous, because nobody holds anybody
accountable ball anymore, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
But I just I want to make sure that we're
putting it all in the right basis.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
So Griholva's coming in, She's skin sworn in Okay, that
makes her two hundred and eighteen, which will then force
a vote.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
The vote.

Speaker 3 (01:32:14):
If everything is staying the way it's supposed to that
Democrat Goroholva from Arizona will be to eighteen. That means
that they vote to release the Epstein files, which then
goes to the Senate, and then John Thune has to decide, Oh,
what do I do? Because Trump's gonna be like, don't
do it, don't do it, don't do it. So he'll

(01:32:36):
be all kinds of pressure from all kinds of angles. Man,
that guy might turn into a diamond. There's gonna be
so much pressure on it. A diamond in the rough. Yeah,
just probably a Cubic Scirconian, but something like that lap made.
Mostly So, then what happens is if and this would

(01:32:56):
be crazy, if it was to pass the Senate, which
you'll never get out of the Senate. It's just won.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
But if it was.

Speaker 3 (01:33:04):
To pass the Senate, it would then go to Trump
and he'd have to sign it, which is never gonna happen, right,
especially after today. Why today, because pretty much everywhere now
and again, I want to get it right. I don't
know how real all these are and some of the
stuff that I've kind of seen makes it seem like

(01:33:25):
it's more of a suggestion. But there are some things
in here that may it seem like, dude, you knew
a lot more.

Speaker 5 (01:33:32):
The bombshell release of what House Democrats say are emails
to and from deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, several
referring to President Donald Trump by name. In an April
twenty eleven email released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee,
lawmakers say Epstein wrote to his now convicted accomplice, Gilenn Maxwell,

(01:33:52):
three years after pleading guilty to sex crimes involving a minor,
telling her, I want you to realize that that dog
that hasn't barked is Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
WHOA that is interesting? Is there more?

Speaker 5 (01:34:04):
Committee Democrats releasing this January twenty nineteen email where Epstein
corresponds with author Michael Wolfe, less than six months before
the financier would be charged again, this time with sex
trafficking of miners. Discussing President Trump's repeated claim he kicked
Epstein out of his Palm Beach club, Epstein, writing Trump
said he asked me to resign. Never a member ever

(01:34:26):
of course he knew about the girls, as he asked
Gillen to stop.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
Now that right there, if true, you then understand if true,
that he knew and there was still correspondence between him.
He asked Deslan Gillaine to stop stop what? By the way,
stop what? And I'm sorry, but do you have any

(01:34:53):
friends that are traffickers of children? Probably not, I'm going
to say no. And if you do, you're making poor choices. Again,
that's if you know. This sounds like he would have known.

Speaker 2 (01:35:11):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
So on top of that, there are other emails alleged
that he not only knew, but he spent hours at
my house with one of them. Again, these are all
things that you know, the Trump's going to come out
to fake news, all made up, never even met Epstein.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
I don't even know who this guy is.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
He's going to come out and say that kind of stuff,
and it's going to be pushed back from Republicans. But
the more that this becomes a serious issue, and we
said this thing isn't going away, the more that this
becomes a serious issue, and the more that stuff leaks out,
that shows that not only that you know, because I've
kind of maintained that you know, he and Clinton, they

(01:35:55):
didn't do anything wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
They hung out with a bad dude. But if you
knew and you continue to.

Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
Hang out with him and you didn't do anything and
you knew, well, I'm sorry, you're a scumbag.

Speaker 25 (01:36:08):
We haven't heard back yet from the White House on this,
but we have heard from Republicans on this committee, the
House Oversight Committee, in a statement they just put out,
they accused Democrats on this panel who released these files
of quote carelessly cherry picking documents to generate quote unquote clickbait.
They say they ultimately will release these documents once they
go through redact things like victims' names, et cetera. And

(01:36:30):
they say, quote Democrats should stop politicizing this investigation.

Speaker 2 (01:36:34):
God, there's such clowns. There's such ass hats.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
And I have said all along a few things about Trump,
right like I want him to succeed. I want him
to you know, First of all, I've always said this
long before. America has always been great. So we're not
making America great again. But it was a great, you know,
branding campaign. But I want him to succeed. I do.

(01:36:58):
But if any way shape perform, you knew and you
did nothing. If in any way, shape or form, any
of the stuff comes out that you're hiding this on
purpose to protect big donors, or you go and decide
to commute her sentence and we're going to talk about
that in a second. I'm done with you. I am

(01:37:19):
absolutely over it. And when you say they're trying to
you know, this is all about publicity and they're trying.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
To sorry you guys out there.

Speaker 3 (01:37:32):
Who made a absolute giant, huge storm of noise about
Epstein and all of this stuff, and then to turn
around and say there's nothing here.

Speaker 2 (01:37:45):
You guys, you.

Speaker 3 (01:37:49):
Are the ones who made this thing. What it was
for most people was off everybody's radar, and they didn't
pay attention to it. Now, when push comes to shove,
it looks like you're running from it. And as far
as Gilayne Maxwell goes, this is a guy who is
like a if you're going to go to jail, I
guess he coaches you on what to do and what
not to do. And he's got people that are his

(01:38:10):
clients that are inside the facilities she's in, and yes,
she is angling to get out.

Speaker 26 (01:38:18):
Prison's a lousy place to be for anyone. You lose
all of your freedom, your rights, everything. You really become
a number. But the general sense that I'm getting from
my clients and their families that are there is that
typically they're treated with antipathy.

Speaker 8 (01:38:35):
That's how staff treats an inmate.

Speaker 26 (01:38:38):
But Ms Maxwell is being treated with a tremendous amount
of deference, and that is extremely unusual, if unheard of,
within the Bureau of Prisons between inmate and staff.

Speaker 8 (01:38:50):
And one comment that was passed to me by the
sister of my client was.

Speaker 26 (01:38:57):
Someone in the staff made a passing comment, don't worry,
you won't have to put up with this very long.
I don't know in what context it was said, but
obviously what the you know is being discussed in the
media lends itself to a certain assumption.

Speaker 3 (01:39:13):
And that assumption isn't she's not going to get shanked.
That assumption is that she is angling to get out,
and she's gotten privileges that others just don't, including some
sort of you know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:27):
I mean, I've heard everything from getting her.

Speaker 3 (01:39:29):
Hair done to to you know, time with like you know,
dogs and puppies, to being on the internet, which.

Speaker 26 (01:39:39):
It could be something as small as when she first
got there. While she's dressed the same way, gets the
same food. However, it's being brought to her from the
kitchen to where she's she's living, and typically inmates.

Speaker 8 (01:39:54):
Can't take food out of the kitchen. It's being brought
to her.

Speaker 26 (01:39:57):
She got a new mattress when she came in, and
trust me as someone who went through that, a new
mattress is a prize possession. She's given a lot of
latitude for her outdoor rec time and her personal time.
I know that she's not working at this point. She's
not part of any social groups. The women tend to

(01:40:18):
stay away from her for a myriad of reasons. Also
from what's being reported, for her to have access to
a computer or the warden again is unheard of. Inmates
and even attorneys during legal visits don't have access to
the internet. They can bring computers in, but there's tricly
to review files on a hard drive.

Speaker 3 (01:40:40):
Okay, so it sounds like she's, you know, she's built
a little something some up here and she's got some
extra privileges.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
Now, this is a woman who was convicted of sex
trafficking minders.

Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
This is a woman who many of the women who
at the time are young girls, said was as bad,
if not worse than Jeffrey himself.

Speaker 8 (01:41:08):
Unheard of. First, the email system. You can't send attachments.

Speaker 26 (01:41:12):
It's a closed loop email system that only permits a
typed document type email, no attachments or pictures. I spoke
to another client that recently got out of Brian and
she said this warden when she came in was phenomenal.

Speaker 8 (01:41:26):
She was one of the best wardens they had.

Speaker 26 (01:41:27):
However, the warden was very professional, and you know, her
interaction was one of you're the inmate, I'm the warden.

Speaker 8 (01:41:36):
You have your responsibilities.

Speaker 26 (01:41:38):
I have mine.

Speaker 8 (01:41:39):
We draw a very clear line.

Speaker 15 (01:41:41):
It is.

Speaker 26 (01:41:44):
Uh not just a typical for a inmate to have
any interaction with staff, yet alone a warden, not only
because of the feelings that it creates amongst other inmates
that they're the police. You stay away from them at
all costs, But to interact with the warden at that level,
and having a warden.

Speaker 8 (01:42:04):
Do that type of a favor for you not just
unusual but unheard of.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
We will see.

Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
But if he commutes her sentence again another situation where
I'm done with him. If he does, if he commutes
her sentence, not pardons her, commutes her if he pardons her,
I'm like double triple done with him.

Speaker 2 (01:42:26):
But I'm going to point out.

Speaker 3 (01:42:28):
What she did sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a
minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, conspiracy
three counts, twenty years.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
So we will see what happens. But there's no doubt that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:51):
The nightmare for Mike Johnson is already beginning and they
are just getting back. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three atch had it shows your ex,
your insta, YouTube and more. Let's have some fun. Let's
switch it up one hit Wonder Wednesday. We'll do that
straight ahead. But first relief FACTA WA's your fact out
of relief really Factor. That's what I'm working out more

(01:43:13):
in fact. My little one, she's in the studio with me.
She's not feeling great.

Speaker 2 (01:43:17):
She's like, Dad, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
I said, I'm working out Why Because I work out
every single day now thanks to really Factor, I can
because it's about the recovery, right, I can do a
lot more than I used to, and the recovery is
so much better thanks to really Factor. Now, this is
something you can take every single day and it's not addictive.
The beauty of it is it's about essentially taking the

(01:43:39):
pathways with these amazing things like Omega three fatty acids
and all this stuff and helping reduce the aches and
pains and sore muscles and your joints, the stuff that
makes it hard for you to do stuff every single
day and sometimes just by getting older, these things well
they suck. And you know that, right you lift something

one hit Wonder song.

Speaker 20 (01:45:11):
Let's get to it. Now, it's time for another edition
of One Hit Wonder Wednesday. You may not remember the
name of the band, but you definitely know the song.

(01:45:41):
This Bruiser, this is one Hit Wonder Wednesday. All right,
one Hit Wonder Wednesday today. Now, I just want to
tell you, guys, is I'm gonna preface this. I didn't
make this song up. I didn't sing this song. I
didn't write this song. But the song does make me laugh. Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:45:58):
Song with the number one was on the charge for
ten weeks. Howay, back in the day nineteen sixty three.
May of nineteen sixty three, number one sold over a
million copies. The singer of the song, his name is
James Lewis mclease, He had a short lived career, and
he was truly a one hit wonder. He was born

(01:46:19):
and raised in Norfolk, Virginia, started singing in church choirs
as a teenager. He was known locally as the talented
gospel performer. Then he switched to secular music, and he
took the nickname that everybody gave him when he was
in church because it said he sang with so much soul.
So he said, I'm gonna change my name to Jimmy Soul.
And he did, and in nineteen sixty three, at the

(01:46:40):
age of twenty, he recorded a song that makes a
lot of men laugh and a lot of women go, Oh,
if you want to be happy, he.

Speaker 8 (01:46:53):
Didn't want to make.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
You want to be another.

Speaker 5 (01:47:08):
My mom burs it up.

Speaker 21 (01:47:11):
Never gonna go out to marry your dish sound on
the moss down wall and.

Speaker 22 (01:47:18):
As that since that the things that well bred is not.
But if you'll make it all that, you'll be and
your mother that I'm not that peels on tags all this,
you'll peace coma and you want.

Speaker 3 (01:47:34):
To be Oh, that's right now, you guys are getting
mad at me, but it is funny. You want to
be happy for the rest of your life. Never make
a pretty woman your wife. The song was humorous, It
was based on a Calypso song from like the thirties,
and it was a smash hit. Unfortunately, not a lot

(01:47:59):
happened after this. He released a couple other singles, they
didn't go anywhere. He eventually left the music industry, went
into the military, left the military, and eventually struggled with
drugs and alcohol, and died in June of eighty eight.

Speaker 17 (01:48:21):
Come in.

Speaker 3 (01:48:24):
A real hilariously fun song that makes people dance around
and laugh. So don't take it personal, but come on,
you're not laughing a little bit?

Speaker 2 (01:48:40):
I thought so.
