The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Day twenty eight of the shutdown America. We're still open.
Just want you guys to know that I don't think
this thing's coming to an end anytime soon. I continue
to tell you that over and over again, because why
would it. Nobody's getting blamed. Remember, this is about power.
This is about next year's midterm. This is not about
all of the other stuff and the numbers and the

(00:35):
things they're going to throw out there when you.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Go, what is that even real?

Speaker 4 (00:40):
No?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
No, A vast majority of it's not.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
So much of this is just about power. And remember
they all love to spend. It's just where they want
to spend that matters.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
With no end to the shutdown in sight, more people
are feeling the pain. Air traffic controllers are set to
miss their first full paycheck today. They're still legally required
to show up to work, but many are calling out sick.
Food pantries are now popping up at airports to help
those unpaid federal employees, including TSA workers, which is a
big deal.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Our daughter is flying out here tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
She is flowing a bunch of times, but she's on
the spectrum and she is flown on her own before.
But everything is about repetitiveness, and if there's anything that
goes sideways, I could get.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
A little hairy.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
And that's one of the reasons my wife was hesitant
to have her flat or she should come spend Halloween
and hang out with.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Her sisters out here.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
And yeah, there's nervousness in this, but the reality is
that's our life. Their life is they're not getting paid.
Their life is they're working, and they're looking around going
I don't feel like this thing's getting any closer to
getting put to bed.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Then you've got snap.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Forty two million Americans could lose government food assistants by
the end of the week. House Speaker Mike Johnson, agreeing
with the Trump administration's argument that they cannot legally tap
into emergency funds to keep the government's nutrition program running
during the shutdown.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
The reason is because it's a finite a source of funds.
It was appropriated by Congress, and if they transfer funds
from these other sources, it pulls it away immediately from
school meals and infant formula.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
But Democrats say the administration has moved money around before,
including to pay military expenses.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Which they have and then you know They've also got
some private help with that, which is another bizarre situation
that took place. This is people are struggling, and it's
really interesting to watch the reaction that people have because
a lot of people online a talking about it. And
I was watching this woman last night, and she's what
snap was created for. She's a single mom, she's working,

(02:57):
she has a kid who's special needs, and she is
doing everything she possibly can to make it. And it's tough,
it is, and she is terrified that, you know, not
that she can't get some food to survive, that it's
going to last much longer.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
And that's understandable.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I am already struggling. I'm already stretching food.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
Got to come over with a plan so that kids
can still eat, you still.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Go to school.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, it's a tough time for people out there, and
this government's not getting any closer to putting this thing
to bed. And the reason is simple. It's about politics.
Stupid period case close, not about the economy. It's about politics.
Politics are the thing that matter. Politics will override every
single thing. Politics. Politics, politics, It's about the three piece

(03:50):
party power, personal personal for them, always about the party,
and that party has to maintain power.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
Some Republicans have proposed standalone bills to fund specific programs,
but Democrats have voted them down. The largest union representing
federal workers is now urging Democrats to vote to reopen
the government, but Democrats not budgeting on their demand that
healthcare subsidies be extended, saying that otherwise tens of millions
of Americans will see their health insurance premium's skyrocket.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
And the healthcare issue is a big deal.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And I will tell you yesterday I had to do
my healthcare for the upcoming year. We switched providers, and
so we did it. My health care cost went through
the roof, went through the absolute roof, and that is

(04:46):
with the company eating a portion of the cost. I
was absolutely shocked by the jump in the costs, and
I was talking a few other people at work who
said their costs have gone way up. Now, imagine what
that's going to look like if you're on Obamacare and
all of that goes away. Well, Chad, Obamacare failed. I

(05:08):
get it failed. But you have done nothing to tell
the people what your ideas for the future in replacing Obamacare,
or what you're going to do to get out of
the way or what you're going to do to make
it easier to access healthcare in a way that's affordable
and get closer to your provider, as opposed to, Hey,
we're going to show everybody without these subsidies, Obamacare doesn't work.

(05:31):
I think people recognize that. The fear is they're going
to be left out there making serious decisions about Okay,
well we're going to get rid of a car that
we need, and we're going to do you know, we're
going to ensure the kids, but we're not going to
ensure ourselves. I mean, there's serious things going on. People
want to know. Okay, like, you can bitch about Obamacare

(05:52):
you want. I got no problems with that. It's got
more and more expensive. Washington Post did a big thing
on it, saying it didn't work. Became more cumbersome.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
And more offensive. Okay, what are you doing to fix it?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
The problem is, as many people have said, well, we
just need to get out of the way. Government doesn't
get out of the way. That's the problem. The problem
is government stays in there. Government is like a dog
that walks around a tree with a leash. It doesn't
know how to walk backwards. You're gonna have to undo
the leash by you, I mean us. That's the frustrating
part of this. And then of course they throw out

(06:24):
the usual well, you know, it's always about illegals, or
it's about this, or it's about that, and no, everybody
throws out numbers. Here's the reality. There's plenty out there
money wise. It's about where it's being spent. And you're
using this as a power play and it's working. The
Democrats are using it as a power play. At this
point in time, it's somewhat working. It isn't until one

(06:47):
of them is absolutely to blame that this becomes a
true issue. They've avoided it now, but starting Saturday, it
becomes very real for a lot of people. We pivot
from healthcare that is all of us and the government shutdown,
to healthcare that is one of us, and that is

(07:07):
Trump weird thing. Trump got an MRI in another routine checkup.

Speaker 8 (07:13):
The President also revealing new information about his visit to
Walter Reed Hospital earlier this month. At the time, the
White House said it was just a routine physical, even
though he had just had one six months earlier.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
The President now saying he underwent an MRI scan.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
We asked the White House, and they did not provide
us any information about why the president had an MRI,
what the doctors were looking for, and what if anything
they found very interesting.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Right, So in the MRI, he already had a checkup
this year.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
So and that checkup is like you know, you know
all of us once a year he gets a certain
age and you go and you have a checkup, and
he has some issues. I mean, he's seventy nine, doesn't
take great care of himself. But for the most part,
he's in pretty good you know Nick as they would say,
he's in pretty good Nick. And so he goes and
he had as the second checkup and an MRI.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
People like that's odd. I'm like, why is it odd?
He's got it.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
By the way, he's got doctors that travel with and
if you've got something that you're worried about and you
have the means, then you're gonna check it.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Why not.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I don't find that to be as odd as everybody
makes it out to be. But a lot of people have.
There's no doubt about that. Trump in Asia right now,
Trump in Asia, uh, he is there big doings coming up.
Meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister but the big deal
is going to become with g and how are we
getting to some sort of trade agreement if we are

(08:35):
at all.

Speaker 9 (08:35):
This has been a lot of frustration with how China
has approached the issue of purchasing US soybeans. They have
been the biggest purchaser and basically stopped buying soybeans because
of the trade war. And also the rare earth minerals,
the export controls that China has been threatening to put
on them, big restrictions. Those are the two big issues.
We're looking forward to see if they can reach an

(08:55):
agreement during this meeting on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I hope they do.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
We still have the issue with Canada, but that'll probably
be solved at some point in time. But we do
have some serious issues when it comes to trade, and
again it's about the economy. One of the things I
see Trump and the Republicans continue to do is to
do the same thing that Biden did, which is tell
everybody that the economy's great, that everything has gone down,
that it's never been better than before. And it makes

(09:19):
you feel like, hey man, you're not listening to what
people are saying, feel their pain. If they're telling you something,
maybe you should listen, right, I'm not saying this is Trump.
This is all politicians, it seems to be anymore. It's
just say something over and over again and hope that
people buy into it. Well, people can't buy into it
because it's too damn expensive.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, And this trade agreement is a big deal. There's
no doubt rare minerals, and that's why we look at Venezuela.
We're going to talk about that in a little bit.
Michaelan's going to join the program, our military analysts, but
that is also what this is about.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
On top of everything else.

Speaker 9 (09:54):
The big question is is a deal going to lower
tariffs from their current thirty percent right now Chinese goods
coming into the US. Or is it just going to
extend the truce period that we're in right now, because
that's important, that is expiring in early November. There's been
these two different extensions of the truce between the two countries.
But the President has been threatening to put additional tariffs

(10:17):
on China.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Which would come on Saturday if indeed that did happen,
and it may it may not.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
With Trump, you never know. The possibility is they could
walk out of there with this great deal.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
The other possibility is they could see this thing blow
up and then Trump goes back and says, We're going
to put five thousand gazillion percent tariffs on them.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
We don't know, but we're going to find out, no
doubt about that.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Speaking of finding out, you had to stay up late
or get up early to watch it last night. Can
I just say the arts in Los Angeles proven sons
a crib out a suit of pool bar show's.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Going back.

Speaker 10 (11:03):

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

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Here she comes.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Her name is Melissa, and she's bringing with her hell
and fury. Now it's time for the Chad Action News
Weather Report. When Weather Weather's we weather the storm.

Speaker 11 (13:27):
Melissa approaching as a Category five hurricane overnight, with winds
up to one hundred and seventy five miles per hour,
three depths already reported before the worst of the storm hits.
Video from Air Force Hurricane Hunters shows inside the eye
of Melissa, the eyewall nearly vertical, the flight forced to
turn back after hitting severe turbulence, a Miami based hurricane

(13:48):
researcher calling it the most turbulent he's ever seen.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
I will say because they took pictures and stuff. Of
course from inside of there. You're flying right into it, right,
I mean, it's it's weather. Is you know, we always
talk about nature messing you up. Nature can do a
lot of things, and damn skippy nature is bringing the
heat and Jamaica is going to feel it. And it
is We've talked about this when it comes to something

(14:14):
like this. It's the winds are bad, yes, but it's
the amount of precipitation, the rain that it drops that
causes the absolute chaos and in many cases, the deaths
on islands and other places.

Speaker 12 (14:30):
We're loading food kits for airlift from our hub in
Barbados to Jamaica so we can deliver assistance of people
as soon as we.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Can, and that's going to be needed fast because they
already have issues. I mean, let's be real, it's the
islands are not It's the islands man, very relaxed and
we're having a good time.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
This is not set up.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
For I mean, you think they'd be a little bit
more set up, knowing full well they're going to get
hit at least once or twice a year with some
sort of event like this.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
But they're not set up for what's coming.

Speaker 12 (15:01):
We're looking at situations in which we have wind speeds
of up two hundred and sixty miles per hour, over
three feet of rainfall in some areas.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, and it is coming hard.

Speaker 13 (15:15):
It's not that true, just very fear of guys, and
it is going to be something different.

Speaker 10 (15:20):
If we go leaping will be astronomic fun.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, it's definitely going to be And think about this.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
If you're on vacation as this group is here, you're
you're you're in for a treat, right, no wrong, I.

Speaker 14 (15:33):
Tell of They've given us all of advice about what
to do, barricading the windows, trying to put mattresses up
against them as an emergency, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benton shows, your ext your Insta, YouTube,
Facebook and more right here in the Chad Benton Show.

Speaker 14 (15:49):
If if, if it gets really bad and the windows
blow out, you know, no circumstances going outside or opening
the windows.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, don't go outside, don't open the windows.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's going to be massive, probably the biggest storm so
far of twenty twenty five. So we're going to keep
an eye on that. From the Islands to France. Guess
what they've got two in custody. How did they catch them?

Speaker 3 (16:15):
It was one.

Speaker 15 (16:16):
Sample of DNA in a motorcycle helmet left at the
scene over the other side of the louver, which matched
with one of the suspects. Then police were able to
put the two suspects under surveillance, both surveillance physically on
the individuals and also on their phones, and then police
swooped in and arrested the two individuals on Saturday night
when they say they were planning to leave the country.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's so weird when it comes to this story because
even yesterday on my local show I talk talking to
my producer and the news guy.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Both of them said the same thing and.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
The odd world of the anti hero and how these
guys who robbed the louver, how many people like I
hope they get away with it. It's just such a
bizarre thing. It's like, it's not like the look they're
not this isn't Robin Hood, but they're not taking the jewels,
going there for the French people and then just throwing

(17:10):
money out to everybody.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
It's not happening right.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
These guys were doing it for themselves, and they've been
apparently linked to several other heist It's just so weird.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Though people are like, yeah, I hope they get.

Speaker 16 (17:22):
Away with it.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'm like, okay, weird three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three At Chad Benson Shows, your acture,
enc YouTube and more coming up. Mike Lines, Military Analyst,
you're going to join the program We're gonna talk about Venezuela, Ukraine, Israel,
but really Venezuela in South America.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
That's straight a hat.

Speaker 17 (17:38):
Chad Benson, Chap Fun, Chad Benson Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
At that time of the week, we talked to Mike Lyons,
tired major in the Army and the best damn military
analyst period case close watching them on CNN last week,
I text him.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I said, Dude, I look at your CNN. You're like,
did you see the BUCkies thing behind me?

Speaker 10 (18:18):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Man, let's get into it, the whole thing with what's
going on with Venezuela. The guns that we're attacking boats,
you know, we're blowing them out of the water. This
just feels very bizarre. Mike, I am not a fan
of what's going on. I'm in the Rand Paul camp
of this. Seems like it's judge, jury and executioner and

(18:39):
they're twenty two undred miles away from our shores.

Speaker 13 (18:42):
Well, I think a lot of it has to do
from a legal perspective. When they deploy the gerald Ford
now that aircraft carrying the entire task force, and you're
bringing hornets and destroyers and growlers, I mean every conceivable
weapon system that the US has an inventory that uses
project power for example in the Middle East and the Pacific.
He brought it to the Caribbean and it's now the

(19:04):
pretext for the legality of making these attacks. They're calling
these people narco terrorists, their combatants. It's wartime. It makes
no impact at all on exactly what's moving. Twenty five
hundred metric tons of cocaine move on an annual basis
from Venezuela and Colombia up through Mexico and eventually makes

(19:24):
its way to the United States. And hitting a couple
of boats is good performatively, but it just doesn't seem
to make any change in what regards to the situation
is actually going on. But again, they're using this as cover,
our legal cover in order to justify moving more destroyers
again in Trinidad and the like. So I don't know
where this is going, and I'd like to get an

(19:47):
explanation at some point as to what specifically the antent
of this administration is when it comes to this.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
I mean, he came in Trump, no wars, none of
this stuff. It feels like you're not moving this amount
of of resources to an area where you're going to
flex on a guy that you know you want to
get rid of, and you've got a South Florida contingent
of people that want to get rid of Venezuela is

(20:12):
dictator and maybe see the collapse of Cuba, and I
think Marco Rubio is playing a huge part in this.
But you're not moving all of these things here to
not do something because that would just strengthen Maduro.

Speaker 13 (20:24):
Well, and he has an actual military. I mean thirty
million people in Venezuela. He's got a we'll call a
layered military. They have defenses and have systems, but it
would be catastrophic. I mean, first of all, where are
we going to get this charter from the UN who
invade Venezuela. That's what we have to do their sovereign nation,
whether we like it or not. But this cavalier attitude

(20:46):
of like he's got to go, I just don't get.
I don't understand how we think it's going to be
a seamless transition of power, like the wall is going
to fall again or something and things are going to
be okay. So again, I don't know where this administration
is going, how they plan on doing it, and if
they think just moving a bunch of destroyers close to
the shoreline, it's going to make them flinch.

Speaker 18 (21:04):
I don't think so. There you saw that sixty.

Speaker 13 (21:06):
Minutes episode that was pretty enlightening, or on Sunday about
what's going on of Venezuela. He feels pretty comfortable there
still and no changes seem to be happening inside the country.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Talking to my client's military and lets we talk about
Venezuela and all things military.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
What do what does.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Venezuela have, you know, because I mean we've got what
do we have over there? And what did they have
that could give us? You know, you can push back
on us a little bit.

Speaker 13 (21:33):
Well, so you have to look at this as Venezuela
tied with Colombia. Columbia manufacturers cocaine, and Venezuela is ships
it They basically are the how it leaves the country,
how it leaves the Hemisphere or the southern southern part
of the Hemisphere, which is why the two maritime channels,
one to the Caribbean and then the other side in

(21:54):
the Pacific is a big deal. The fact that the
administration is going after boats in the Pacific, so Venezuela
does not have a border on that side of the
Panama Canal.

Speaker 18 (22:03):
Panama Canal is this divider that.

Speaker 13 (22:05):
Exists between these two countries from a maritime perspective, So
so that means Colombia is getting more involved putting cocaine
and containers and not not just little speedboats. They're they're
hiding it and they're smuggling it in other other manners.
But Venezuela has been heavy for moving that product out
of out of Columbia, and that's that's kind of their
gig and and they figure out ways to do that

(22:26):
because they have a there's a lot more going on
on that side of the of the Panama Canal to
do that. Now, what the United States has done is
they've clamped down rightfully, so right now on Colombia. Colombia's
number one exporter is to the United States. Uh and
they're so they're putting economic leverage on them in that perspective.
Same thing with Venezuela, because Venezuela also sits on a

(22:48):
ton of natural gas and oil reserves as well as
rare earth minerals, which is the future of the warfare
eventually as we fight over what's what's going to take
to make some of these weapons, so the leverage is
still performative. It gets militarily if Trump runs out of
time and thinks his administration is not going to get
it done.

Speaker 18 (23:07):
While he's the president.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Talking to Mike Lion's military analyst, we talk about Venezuela.
We're going to talk a little about Ukraine coming up
in a second as well. I continue to think because
I don't hear enough talk about this in the mainstream media,
but other people are following it. You know, they'll say, oh,
they move things here, they move things there. But do
you think because I feel like we are going to
do something, it's Trump's basically come out and said, what,

(23:29):
We've taken him out in the water, Now we're going
to go on land.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Do you think it's going to happen? Is it not? If?

Speaker 13 (23:33):
But when I can't imagine, only because this is the
peacetime president. He wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
He's not winning the Nobel Peace Prize if we invade Venezuela.
It's also not Panama nineteen eighty nine. You're not getting
rid of Noriega. In that same kind of situation. Venezuela
again is a big mature country, serious military.

Speaker 18 (23:51):
You would need eighty hidred thousand.

Speaker 13 (23:53):
Troops in order to assure the victory on the ground
that you would take. Now, we could do something similar
to what happened to Libby, let's say, and we can
destroy a lot of it, a lot of it's infrastructure
from Afar, but nothing ever happens until somebody shows up
on land and decides they're going to actually take territory,
which is why Libya is. The message is today it

(24:13):
just was destroyed by the United States and then everybody,
you know, just kind of left its own devices that
can't happen in our in our hemisphere. So that's not
a good solution. Does does land mean we're going to
go to Mexico?

Speaker 18 (24:24):
I mean where where are we going to take out
this threat?

Speaker 13 (24:27):
It emanates in Colombia, and it emanates by those cartels
that are there. It emanates from where they grow. The
farmers have not been incentivized to grow different product besides
cocaine with with the land they have and until until
the fundamental conditions I guess what's that term that Kamala
Harris uses, Right, the fundamental conditions on the grounds change.
That's what we have to do if you want want

(24:48):
things to go different there, and that might be just
a bridge too far.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Bridge too far. I'm not done. We are bad at coups, Mike.
We are.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
We're great at the first part. When it comes to
sticking the landing. The second part, we are not very
good at that. I mean, Rubio put up a picture
of Maduro and Kadaffi. That says a lot to me.

Speaker 13 (25:08):
Right there, you know, just the last twenty five years
in Iraq, in Afghanistan. That's that's just right there, that's
you know, close battle, so to speak. The military, no question,
can break things and screw things up and make things
bad for the host country. But again, until you have
that phase five, which is not a solution, it's not a.

Speaker 18 (25:28):
Military mission necessarily.

Speaker 13 (25:29):
And I've always argued that to use the military as
war fighters and peacekeepers on the same mission as just
too contradictory. That we just have a great military, but
it's too hard on the human nature in order to
be a war fighter of this street and then next
street to be a peacekeeper and keep whipsawing back and forth,
and that's what it would that's what it will take
once again, because there's no other there's no other large

(25:51):
group of people that are going to come. There's no
State department military that comes behind the US Army and
Marines that would land potentially in Venezuela.

Speaker 18 (25:59):
I can, but I'm saying that.

Speaker 13 (26:00):
But there's that doesn't happen, and there's the military gets
over taxed and then next thing, you know, we go
down the slippery slope because then crimes start getting committed
and the military is not good at that. So we're
at that spot though, chat I think that until the
administration better started, you know, explaining specifically what they what
they want to do in Venezuela. You're talking Warpowers Act,
We're talking authorization, use of military force. All those things

(26:23):
have got to come into play. That's going to transcend
just you know, hitting a couple of speedboats in the
Pacific and the and the Caribbean.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Talking to my clients military analysts, we talk about all
things military. All right, let's talk quickly about what's going
on when it comes to Ukraine. There's been I mean,
you know, in the space of two weeks, it was
you're never getting any of this.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
You got to give it the dawn.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Bass Zelenski and them arguing to hey, here's some Tomahawk missiles.
I mean, it's just it feels like it's all over.
And then Putin goes out and tests the new big
giant weapon.

Speaker 13 (26:53):
Yeah, he's recognizing again, performative leverage is the way to go.
It's a loitering cruise missile. I guess can sit in
this guy for twelve hours and loiter around. It's nuclear powered. Possibly,
he possibly does have some nuclear tip weapons that are there.
But that is all about because Vladimir Putin knows if

(27:15):
Donald Trump wants to insert any leverage back into that theater,
he has to promise Ukraine an air defense umbrella that
would include NATO. So that wouldn't necessarily be a no
fly zone because that's really an active war. But let's
say NATO forces helped shoot down some of the Russian
missiles that are coming in on Ukraine, which is really
a number one problem in Ukraine has right now, they

(27:36):
don't they're still subject to Russian terrort weapons that fly
in hit civilian hospitals. But let's say if the United
States got with NATO and decided to put a better
air defense umbrella, that would really take a lot of
leverage away from Vladimir Putin. So that's why I think
he launched that missile with the attitude that this can
get through anywhere and go anywhere it wants to go.

Speaker 18 (27:57):
So that's what that was all about.

Speaker 13 (27:59):
Vladimir Putin recognizes that Trump is looking for leverage in Ukraine,
doesn't have it, doesn't feel it, and he knows that
it'll be restored if we pour more military equipment in
or fix the air defense platforms. If that happens, then
Russia doesn't have the same leverage over the Ukrane as
it had in the past.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
If we go and do something like that where not
so much no fly zome, but we'll shoot some stuff
down or give them more. Is he going to see
that as it comes to West infringing on us? So
now I'm gonna have to go bigger.

Speaker 18 (28:25):
I don't know. I don't believe.

Speaker 13 (28:27):
So I think that's why Trump is reticent to go
that route. So I think he gets this thing becomes
a you know, spiralings, you know case eventually, because what
is that magic you know, lynchpin that you pull out
that causes Russia to do this?

Speaker 18 (28:42):
It's not he still has more people.

Speaker 13 (28:45):
I personally think that it would only change if we
pour it in tanks ground vehicles, But the Ukrainians don't
have the manpower to necessarily man them.

Speaker 18 (28:55):
And the economic.

Speaker 13 (28:56):
Sanctions they talk a great game, but every time I
wake up, they haven't been implemented yet and there's still
a lot of reliance of Europeans on Russian oil. So again,
the politicians, they are not going to make that change.
So I don't think so to short out to your
question is even the air defense system just might cause
Russia to try harder and move move more missiles inside
a cube inside of Ukraine if they could.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
My clients military anist tried major in the army, appreciate
you coming on man, you do the best job in
the world, and we'll do it again next week.

Speaker 18 (29:24):

Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Bunnie with Scissors sounds great compared.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
To this, say, all right, we'll continue our countdown to
number one Scary movie countdown on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
We're at number one. Let's find out.

Speaker 19 (31:06):
The time has come, so prepare yourself for a journey
of fear from the darkest corner of cinema.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
The most boneeilling.

Speaker 19 (31:15):
Tales ever told. It's the countdown you've been waiting for.
Which movie will take the top spot?

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Number four? All right? Number four today?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
An amazing movie directed by the great Toby Hooper, came
out in nineteen seventy four, starring Marilyn Burns, Gunnar Hanson,
and Edwin Neil. Inspired loosely by a man named ed Gean,
it was shot in Texas.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Should give you a hint, it's over one hundred.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Degrees when they shot this movie, and it scared the
but Jesus out of everyone. Gross over thirty million dollars
on one hundred and forty million dollar budget. A friend
of his named John Leriquette did the trailer in narration
for this classic horror movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Speaker 20 (32:04):
The film which you are about to see is an
account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths,
in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother Franklin. It
is all the more tragic, and that they were young.
But had they lived very, very long lives, they could
not have expected, nor would they have wished, to see

(32:25):
as much of the mad and macab as they were
to see that day. For them, an idyllic summer afternoon
drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were
to lead to the discovery of one of the most
bizarre crimes in the annals of American history. The Texas
Chain saw Massacre.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
An amazing movie shots essentially like an eight millimeter film.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Toby Hooper thought it was, and this was his launch.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
He was a director who had done tons of documentaries
that had gotten, you know, people to notice who he
was was. But the reality was it really wasn't going
well Frohm in that sense. So he decided to make
this movie, and well history.

Speaker 21 (33:08):
I wanted to see a horror film that not only
was a good film, but that gave me my money's
worth of scare. And most films didn't. I mean, they
didn't even begin to know the psychological house of cards
that you have to I mean, it's a delicate thing,
the planning of information. I mean, we know that Chainsaw

(33:29):
has something to do with cannibalism, but the word cannibalism
is never used, It's only inferred. You can only assume
that it wanted for the audience to be able to
piece the puzzle together without being told, you know, under
executive supervision. Now we're told, you know, make sure they understand.

(33:51):
God forbid they think, but make sure they understand.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
The movie was supposed to be somewhat of a dark comedy.
In fact, on numerous occasions he had gone to the
rating people to ask him what do I have to
do to get a G?

Speaker 3 (34:03):
There wasn't a lot of blood. You didn't see a lot.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
It was mostly noise, sound and in the fright of
leather Face played by Gunner Hanson that you saw.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
The reality was there wasn't a ton of blood.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
There wasn't a ton of It was more things that
were alluded to in the movie. Originally they gave it
an AX. He got it down to an R. So
much for a G, which is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
It was filmed in Texas at a time when the
heat are you ready for this? Over one hundred degrees
one of the hottest times in Texas histories. Most of
the casts worked for essentially Peenis less than one hundred dollars,
didn't see royalties until years later, and the smell on
the set because they never changed their clothes or washed

(34:51):
their clothes was disgusting, including Gunner Hanson's one hundred and
twenty pounds costume where he played leather face. And yes,
it was a real chair saw and at times you
get it very close to people. Marilyn Burns suffered real
injuries throughout the shoot, including cotts, bruises, even a black
guy from running through the actual brush and brambles. The
final dinner scene took twenty six straight hours of filming.

(35:15):
It is one of the great movies in the annals
of horror, and just a great movie altogether. You're number
four in our Scary movie countdown, the Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Let me know what you think about that.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
If you've seen the movie, you can do it by
tweeting addis at Chadbentson Show and also texting the program
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three
right here in the Chad Benson Show coming up, our
number two of the program, good stuff, including a very
interesting look at kids in sports, the psychology, the money

(35:51):
of what we're doing to kids here in America, which
is criminal at times, it really is, plus halloweens around
the court interest.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
You know what that means. We got to hear the
stories about.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
All the drugs and candy and all the other stuff.
We'll talk a bit about that as well. We've got
some government shut down, among other things. Reach out to
us across all of our social media at Chadbenson Show.
Is your ex your instant, YouTube, Facebook, and more. We've
got our number two of the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
It is straight ahead. This is the Chad Betson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Government's still shut down, not getting any closer to opening up.
This is a battle that's going to go on. We've
talked about it. Politics means more power, means more party
means more people.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
You are what you are.

Speaker 22 (37:08):
Members of both parties have proposed what have been called
rifle shot bills to pay specific groups of federal workers
or fund certain programs like snap food assistants, but Senate
Majority Leader John Thune says he's not interested pointing to
the need for all government agencies to be funded and
a House past mechanism that would do it. Democrats, who
are focused on increasing costs in the healthcare exchanges, have

(37:29):
shown no signs of caving, even as the largest government
workers' union urges an immediate and the shutdown.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
It's not changing anytime soon. We continue to go over
this until there is an absolute it is your fault.
It is one hundred percent your fault. It is your
party's fault. It is you, you you, until that happens.
Expect this to be this way for a while.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Now.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Do I expect more movement next week? Yes, And the
reason is, come Saturday, snap benefits they're they're not going
to be there come Saturday. You're gonna see a serious
issue when it comes to people really on the struggle

(38:14):
bus in a way that they thought maybe this couldn't happen.
You're also gonna see the military probably not get paid,
a lot of other people, including the air traffic controllers,
not getting I mean, we go on and on about this.
It's now happening in a way where okay, one check, Oh,

(38:35):
some people got paid, some people different. Now it's gonna
be nobody's getting paid and none of the benefits are
gonna be going out. So I expect this thing to
ramp up next week. But until, like I said, one
side tips to away with it like it's definitely the
Republican's fault, or the other way it's like definitely the
Democrat's fault. This is gonna be what it is, so

(38:57):
be prepared for what is coming. Speaking of what is coming,
we've been following it as we should be.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
It is big, it is nasty, and it is hitting. Jimmy,
come on.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Now, it's time for the Chat Action News Weather Report.
When weather weather's wet weather, the storm, I would.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Say it's a storm.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
It is a beast of a storm smashing into the islands.

Speaker 23 (39:25):
Hurricane Melissa, bringing life threatening winds up to one hundred
and seventy five miles per hour. Some American tourists trapped
after all major airlines shut down, including Jonesboro, Arkansas. Residents
Maritza cave Or Blake and her husband, celebrating their ten
year anniversary, now unable to get home to their four
and eight year old kids.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
They were expecting their parents back on Sunday. We don't
want to tell the Mommy and Daddy is stuck in
another country.

Speaker 23 (39:50):
Air Force hurricane hunters trying to fly into the eye
of the storm. The turbulence so severe they were forced
to turn back.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Yeah, it is u There's already been loss of life,
the size of it. And again, this thing is going
to change throughout today. You may be listening to this
a little bit later in the day, and the reality
is it has changed. It may have gotten weaker, it
may have gotten stronger, and it will be a couple
of days before all is said and done. And what
do we talk about when it comes to it with

(40:17):
the nature in the whole? Lin, we alas joke about
nature messing up. This is nature of epic proportions.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
I saw.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
So the beauty of the world that we live in
today is we don't have to wait forty years to see,
you know, video of this is what the hurricane hunters
went in there. These men and women are already filming
these things. Did you not see the crazy? First of all,
the turbulence, God bless you for that. Secondly, the size
of it.

Speaker 11 (40:43):
It's just so.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Massive and it's a Cat five. Some people are saying
it's a Cat five catastrophe.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
It might be. It might be.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
And the winds are the things that while they're bad,
it is not that it is the law term rain.
If this thing sits over there, because it's going to
then start to flood from floods, will we become mud slides?
Then you throw in the wind that could see even
more than one hundred and seventy five miles hour. In

(41:15):
certain situations, some people are going to try to write
out the storm. Others aren't.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
The one thing.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
And we talked to Mike Lyons last hour. He's our
military analyst, and I asked him. I said, Mike, I said,
is it kind of a blessing that we have so
much military in.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
That area at this time? I mean, you know, knowing.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Full well that it's all about Venezuela, but and he said,
you know, it absolutely is. And having the gerald Ford
there with the command and control that it has, And
I said, dude, isn't it the he goes, look, he
goes that thing is going to withstand anything it throws
at it.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
It'll be fine and maybe bumpy, but it'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
But having that there may be a real helper in
helping people immediately if need be.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
So we'll be watching this throughout the day.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
We moved from there to this. So the nightmare that
is the NBA and what they're going through is one thing.
I found this this morning because obviously I love soccer.
Betting has been a huge thing in Europe forever to day,
since I went there as a child, betting it was

(42:24):
I always found it weird because on Saturday afternoons they
used to have and they still do, they read all
the scores of the soccer games. So back when I
was there, the games would be played all at three
o'clock minus a Sunday game, so there'll always be a
Sunday game that everybody tuned into. It's like Monday Night football, right,

(42:46):
whereas everybody gets to watch this game.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
So but the rest of the games.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Were all played at three o'clock on Saturday, and a
guy would come on and he would read the scores
and because people bet and they throw down a pound
or two, and if you got all ninety games right,
you would win and it would be like Colchester one
Gillingham won. It was hilarious. And betting's always been a

(43:14):
big thing over there. But when we talk about our
betting compared to their betting, They've had so many scandals.
Italy has had so many scandals when it comes to betting,
Turkey may take the cake. I want you to listen
to this so you remember our guys are in some trouble.
There's no doubt they've done some stuff. But I want

(43:34):
you to listen to the betting scandal in Turkey right
now with referees.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
I mean, this is truly extraordinary, Mike.

Speaker 24 (43:42):
We had a news conference today held by the president
of the Turkish Football Federation, and in this press conference,
he revealed that there are five hundred and seventy one
match officials in Turkey. He said, out of those five
hundred and seven, one three hundred and seventy one of

(44:03):
them have betting accounts, and he said that one hundred
and fifty two of them are actively gambling on football.
And incredibly, there is one match official in Turkey who
has had eighteen thousand, two hundred and twenty seven bets

(44:23):
on football games. You're kidding, And there are forty two
match officials who have bets on more than ten thousand
football games each.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Did you say eighteen plus thousand, plus several others over
ten thousand bets? Now you're thinking to yourself, Oh, it's probably.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Some you know. This isn't Saturday morning dad, referees. This
isn't that. No, no, no, no no. These are the
top of the top.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
So imagine if our referees were betting basketball, which happened
before football baseball.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Imagine that.

Speaker 24 (45:04):
He also said that seven of these referees are elite
referees in Turkey. That means that they can referee in
the top two divisions in Turkish football, and also fifteen
of them were assistant referees assistant elite referees. Now, of course,
betting is not only banned for players, coaches and officials

(45:27):
by the Turkey Football Federation, but it's also banned by
FIFA and UEFA. Yet we have a situation where out
of five hundred and seventy one match officials in Turkey,
three hundred and seventy one of them have between one
and six betting accounts.

Speaker 25 (45:44):
That's unbelievable, between one and six betting accounts, and I'm
still I mean, I'm thinking about.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Eighteen thousand plus bets. Holy Mother of Goodness. Now, if
you were betting on American football, which I I guess
you could if American sports to that tune. That'd be
one thing they're looking into it because obviously they don't
believe this is just about that, and there has been

(46:18):
some massive scandals in Europe when it comes to betting.
There is no doubt that this is a serious issue.
When you hear that there's a guy that bet eighteen
thousand plus times, ten other referees that bet ten thousand
plus times, and out of your five hundred and seventy referees,

(46:40):
three hundred and seventy of them have betting accounts that
bet on football. I'm just gonna say there's a chance
that maybe there was some itsuse, is.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
What I'm trying to say.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
There three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three atchad bets, the show is your ext your
Insta YouTube and more. This just in, By the way,
Johnson and Johnson, the maker of Thailand All, It's being
sued by Texas. Ken Paxton announced the lawsuit against Johnson
and Johnson and Kenview, alleging the companies deceptively marketed their

(47:16):
tailand al drug to pregnant mothers while knowing the drug
post at increased risk of autism, which, of course we
heard last month about the tism and the potential link
from Thailand all to autism if pregnant mothers took it.
Here's what I would do. If I'm Johnson, and Johnson

(47:36):
put this thing to bed, you go, you take it
out there, you fight this case, you put it all
out there.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
You make the burden of proof is on.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Texas and if you have issues, well that's going to
be found out. If you have no issues and they
can't prove it, this would probably stop a lot of
other states that may want to jump on this bandwagon.
Try to get the themselves some sort of settlement money.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Let me know what you think.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
three atch had mented show is your ex your insta
YouTube and more birch Gold. With all the unsettled stuff
going on out there, with all the uncomfortable things that
are happening, AI could it pop at any moment? Gold
is an amazing place for you to be. The dollar,
I have a feeling is going to get even weaker
and there's going to be more unsettled times, and that's

(48:23):
why people are fleeing central banks to looking for something
like gold. It's been around a millennia and Birch is
the best at what they do, and we need to
text the word Benson to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight. Now,
they're gonna get you out an infoc it let you
show you what they're all about, including things like being
able to move over an IRA or a four to
one k into an IRA backed buy physical gold. On

(48:46):
top of that, they've also got opportunities if you do
purchase physical gold. That's something you may be interested in
as well. And check this out this month and there's
still time. When you buy five thousand dollars or more
from Burch, they're going to give you a silver commemorative
round celebrating the Gadsden and American flag. But you got
to get the info first before you make that decision.

(49:07):
This is what I want you to do. Text the
word Benson now to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Birch will get you out that information and you find
out if you qualify for that free silver and celebrate
our veterans. Text the word Benson now to ninety eight
ninety eight ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
For Birch Gold.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Coming up a lot of stuff to get to, including
very interesting story and study about kids and youth sports
and the insanity that I think parents put these kids through.
We'll talk about that, among other things. This is the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:50):

Speaker 2 (49:52):
It's Tariff Talk Tuesday. We love talking tariffs because nothing
gets you more excited than tariff talk.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Let's talk tariffs.

Speaker 9 (49:58):
The big question is it the deal going to lower
tariffs from their current thirty percent right now on Chinese
goods coming into the US China or is it just
going to extend the truce period that we're in right now,
because that's important, that is expiring in early November. There's
been these two different extensions of the truce between the
two countries, but the President has been threatening to put

(50:19):
additional tariffs on China.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Yeah, so November first, they're supposed to be new tariffs
on China. On China. We'll find out if that's going
to happen. Is this you know, he I mean they
call it Taco Trump is very as we all know,
can be very reactionary. And so it was on again,
then off again with g and then now they're in

(50:45):
you know, he's in Asia on the tour doing his thing,
meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister today and doing a
rare earth mineral deal and all of that stuff. But
what really matters at this point is what are you
doing here with China? With China? What are we going
to do with China?

Speaker 3 (51:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (51:04):
This has been a lot of frustration with how China
has approached the issue of purchasing US soybeans. They have
been the biggest purchaser and basically stopped buying soybeans because
of the trade war. And also the rare earth minerals,
the export controls that China has been threatening to put
on them, big restrictions. Those are the two big issues.
We're looking forward to see if they can reach an
agreement during this meeting on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
I would like to think so. I think a lot
of people would like to think so.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
I mean, while this is going on, he's still arguing
with Canada, and you know the.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Whole Reagan ad which was bizarre.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
You know that the Canadians did that and Doug Ford right,
his brother, Yeah, it's a whole family thing. He Doug
not Rob says, hey, look we're intertwined here, we're big
trading partners. We did a commercial. What ends up happening though,
is if America is getting hurt, we're all getting hurt.

Speaker 26 (52:00):
When we get hurt, Americans get hurt. We're so integrated,
especially on the auto sector. It's been around since the
nineteen sixties, the auto pack and you can see talk
to any CEO of any of the large American auto manufacturers.
They're losing billions and billions.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Yeah, they are, and he's not wrong.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
It's three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad Benson Show with your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. If you have any thoughts on this, let
me know right here on the Chad Benson Show. It's
a big deal. We need to come together and fix
this damn thing. I think the way that Trump at
times puts these things on it's not just at times.
I think a lot of times it's you know, I'll

(52:40):
just throw this here and that here, and what are
you going to do with that?

Speaker 3 (52:44):
Frustrating?

Speaker 2 (52:44):
I know, I don't think they're well thought out at times,
but alas here we are.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
You know, if we've been talking about the chaos and
craziness when it comes to the government shutdown, got a
text from eight zero zero four. Laurie's her name. She said, chet,
what's the nuclear option? We're not talking about bombs. No,
we're not talking about bombs. The nuclear option essentially is
it allows the ruling party okay, in the Senate to

(53:15):
change the rules. And by doing this, the Senate could say,
you know what we're done with this. What we're going
to do now is simply simple majority overcomes the filibuster.
Simple majority fifty one gets it done, even fifty to
fifty if you have the vice president, because they can
then cast the tiebreaker. So they called the nuclear option

(53:36):
because it breaks the Senate norms. And you saw it
in twenty thirteen. Harry Reid did it with the judges
and some of the nominees for Obama, and what ended
up happening was Mitch McConnell kept it, and that's now
what we have when it comes to confirming judges. But
many people on both sides of the aisle don't want

(53:58):
to get rid of it when it comes to other
things like anything to do with budget and stuff, because
once it's done, as we have seen, they never let
it go. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chat Benson Show is your Acts, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. A lot of stuff to get to this hour,
including the cost of Halloween, among other things.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
This is the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 10 (54:20):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:41):

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Last night, very late or early in the morning, depending
on where you live in the country.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
This happened in Los Angeles.

Speaker 22 (54:51):
Cove Benson's a prive out as center Crew Bar Show's
going back.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Be poor.

Speaker 10 (55:02):
The word again, three.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Contic Dodgers, baby big Win. I bring that up because
I see this more and more. You know, the and
the Internet has made this more and more prevalent. It
has nothing to do with the dollars, because they're everywhere.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
It has all to do with.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Youth sports, youth sports, the youths of America, the chaos
that it is now. You guys know, if you guys
are new to my show, I lived in Europe for
over a decade, you know, followed my my soccer dreams,
long before soccer was any dream for an American, and
UH had some good times.

Speaker 23 (55:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
UH was able to play in the lowest of levels
over there in Europe when others weren't there. There was
like eight Americans over there. Uh, never really became anything
of it, but the beauty of my opportunity because nobody
cared about an American, you know, we were. It was
a different time back in the the late eighties early
nineties when I was there, But I got there by

(56:04):
working my ass off and I enjoy sports, and I
love sports. Soccer was a sports I chose I did
Today though, these kids, man, I see, you know, everybody
has asked me because most of my friends from those
days coach soccer at some level. They're running clubs making
six figures plus plus plus, And it's insane the amount

(56:30):
that these kids focus on certain things. And now that's
what we are, and it is a business that is
high dollar. If you go to Europe, there isn't a
high dollar business when it comes to sports. There isn't
what we have because we focus the minute our kid
looks like they've got some sort of talent in something,

(56:50):
it's go, go go.

Speaker 27 (56:52):
Parents are usually the first to notice changes depression, apathy, exhaustion,
aches and pains. The sport their kid once loved just
isn't fun anymore. Burnout experienced by kids in sports is
a problem, and it's getting worse, call it the professionalization
of youth sports. Somewhere along the line, kids playing on

(57:14):
fields like this one started to feel big time pressure,
travel teams, private coaching, constant competition. It became all about
performance and profit, right there, performance and profit.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
My little brother just to give you guys an example
of the cost and the expense of youth sports. So
my little brother, who's uber successful. I mean, he's a
kid who barely graduated high school. Incredible hockey player, junior
hockey player, minor league hockey player. If it wasn't for concussions,

(57:49):
and he could put a little meat on his bones.
His skills were otherworldly, but brilliant mind in hockey. He's
twenty six and insane coach six figures plus coaching hockey.

(58:11):
His friends have gone to college. Wish they make the
money that he makes coaching hockey. Why, because the expense
is insane. He'll tell me he makes one thousand dollars
a day cash at times doing private lessons. And these kids,
by the way, some of them are seven, eight nine.

(58:32):
He coaches kids at that level that are eight, nine
and ten. That their job And I say that is hockey.
And I'm totally serious about their job is hockey. They
go to school for a few hours a day. Some
of them live here in America while their parents live

(58:56):
in other places around the globe, which is crazy, I
know to say, that's how insane it is.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
And the cost through the roof.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Because they get identified early and at this point in time,
you're identified, so you know, coaches think you're great, or
you have a chance, or you see something and next
thing you know, you're spending.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Just insane amount of money.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
The school that he coached at last year, and it's
a school costs like fifty grand. So you go to
school a couple hours a day and you're in the
ice eight hours a day. And several of those kids
were from different states and countries. Their parents don't live here.
They do with other parents. Crazy right like at ten.

Speaker 27 (59:43):
A study by the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that
seventy percent of kids drop out of organized sports by
age thirteen due to injury or burnout. Doctor Narav Pandya,
a professor of orthopedic surgery and sports medicine at you
See San Francisco, told straight Errow new kids are sometimes
allowed or even encouraged to do too much, too early.

Speaker 28 (01:00:05):
And I see it with soccer, with baseball. These kids
have been playing competitively since five, six or seven, and
then they drop out and they're like these washed up
quote unquote washed up athletes, you know, heading into high
school and they talk about the days that they used
to play competitive sports.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
Yeah, and the injuries are insane. It is crazy to
see that these kids are injured at a level where
you're like, what are you talking about? I mean, it's nuts.
And everybody asked me about my son and kids. Did
I put them in soccer?

Speaker 19 (01:00:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
I never once forced my kids to play soccer. You
know why because my dad. My dad played pro baseball.
He knew nothing about soccer. I played two years of baseball.
I thought, I don't really like this, and you know
what I did. I went and played soccer. He coached
me the first year. It was awful, but hilarious. I
look back on the very fond memories my dad looking
over reading a book while the game is going on,
not quite sure how game was supposed to work. But

(01:01:03):
he never forced me to play baseball. I never once
asked my kids to play soccer. Do or don't, I
don't care, that's up to you. When I go to
my son's hockey game, I don't freak out and cheer
go crazy like I see a lot of these other parents. Why.
Because I want my kid to enjoy it. I want
my kid to have fun. Parents put this undue pressure,

(01:01:24):
and I understand in some cases. Why I'm gonna tell
you something. The hockey world, you know, I mean, you know,
short of owning a horse or maybe Formula one jack,
is there anything else you'd like to play that is expensive?

Speaker 27 (01:01:38):
Doctor Pondia is concerned that quitting sports at such a
young age might hurt a child's long term motivation and
relationship with physical activity. There are also more serious injuries
in preteen children, fifty percent of which are from overtraining,
ACL tears, shoulder and elbow damage, hip and ankle surgery,

(01:01:59):
conditions that were unseeen mostly in college or professional athletes
who train year round are leaving scars typically reserved for
veteran athletes before these kids start high school.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
And that's what I'm seeing in my clinic.

Speaker 28 (01:02:11):
These kids come in and they're just their joints, their
ligaments are just torn apart. Because they're trying to be
professional athletes are supposed to just play sports and their
body just can't handle it. There's a reason why you're growing,
there's a reason why your kid, and we're trying to
make them adults when their bodies aren't ready for it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
What's crazy when I hear that is baseball kids who
are like twelve and thirteen are getting Tommy John surgery.
Think about that. The UCL that's the ligament. It doesn't
mature until you're twenty five. So it is crazy that

(01:02:50):
these kids have injuries that major League Baseball players have
and some of them are choosing to get to it
a little bit early, as if I do this now right,
it's going to be okay later.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
It's insane.

Speaker 27 (01:03:06):
The perception that more kids can now make money in
college or even at the high school level has become
a major motivator for families to specialize in one sport,
which can lead to burnout and injury. The social pressure
to keep up has helped youth sports grow into a
booming business. The cycle is fueled by a universal truth

(01:03:27):
parents want the best for their kids. Matt Lyle is
a motivational speaker and former coach at the college and
pro level, with over three million followers across his social
media channels. He uses travel baseball as an example of
a sport that features a lot of specialization at a
young age.

Speaker 29 (01:03:45):
I think the problem is we have so many people
in the industry that are trying to make money that
there's a lot of voices that are saying, you know, hey,
you got to specialize our He's ten now, he's on
a ten and under team, and he could make this
national team if you pay five thousand dollars you can.
And it's like, I think they're selling this dream really
really early now, earlier and earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Way earlier and way earlier. And look, there are kids
out there that are special. There's no doubt right now
in the world of soccer. Le Mena mal he's eighteen.
He's eighteen years old. He made his debut at fifteen
for Barcelona. Let me just give you guys a heads up.

(01:04:29):
He has played for Spain. He's got over one hundred
games for Barcelona. Messi wasn't anywhere near that at this age.
Right now, Arsenal has a fifteen year old kid named
Max Doman who has played in their first team and
everybody's calling him the next There are people out there
who guess at a certain age you go, there's something

(01:04:51):
special about him.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
Ninety nine point nine percent are not those people and
the parents and the pressure and the money. Because I
will say this, if I'm spending five, ten, fifteen grand
for you to do something, I want effort and if
you don't enjoy it, you don't have to play.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
I'm not going to push you, but the money.

Speaker 27 (01:05:12):
Both coach Lyle and doctor Pondya agree that pursuing a
single dream should be reserved for kids who show exceptional
talent and success. For most young athletes, the better path
is playing multiple sports and trying different positions.

Speaker 30 (01:05:26):
Early on.

Speaker 29 (01:05:27):
I think about my son, and you know, I want,
I selfishly want him to get into golf and so
we could play together, and the opportunities in golf and
all those things, and so I'm kind of trying to
keep an eye on it a little bit in the
sense of like, what does he really love, what are
the things that kind of get he gets excited about,
and how can I foster that and then just let
him play all of them as for as long as
he can.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
That's super important, all of them for as long as
you can. Too many parents, I think see something in
their kids and some of it is the fact that
college is so ridiculous. You think, well, you know, but
you spend that much money. And my mom the last
two three years of my little brother playing triple A
hockey in southern California cost her about one hundred and

(01:06:11):
twenty one hundred and fifty grand whatever it was. He
was homeschooled. He was home maybe two three days a week.
They trained essentially full time, and then traveled. They were
gone from Wednesday to Sunday. He was home for a
day or two and then back out they went. And
the cost is ridiculous. So yeah, if you don't love it,
that's expensive. That is super expensive. There's no doubt. So yeah,

(01:06:36):
if you don't love it, but you know what, you
got to let kids be kids and letting them do
a lot of things is super important. And yes, it
makes them more well rounded. And if they're really good
at something, that path will come and they will take
that path if they love it and they find out
I am really good at this.

Speaker 27 (01:06:54):
Listening to what kids themselves are saying and feeling about
their activities is an important step. Ponya does see some
light at the end of the tunnel as more parents
see the data and adjust their own expectations.

Speaker 28 (01:07:06):
I do think we're seeing more and more people understand
it and recognize it, not just a matter of in
that moment when you have that choice to click on
the five thousand dollars payment for your club team, are
you going to be like you know's is this really
what's best for our family?

Speaker 27 (01:07:19):
The report from the American Academy of Pediatrics reinforces the
idea that if you want your kid to continue in
a sport, they should love.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
It, maybe even more than you love watching them do it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Amen a Freaking men three, two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 31 (01:08:54):
Deep Stinks No Deep doo doo eah, I'm listen show.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Now it's time for that portion of the program where
we give you a little treat, teach you guys how
to converse with the youth of America.

Speaker 3 (01:09:11):
You know what time it is.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
You know, I love this one. It's a brand new word.
Kids are using it, yoda, Like what yoder? Yeah, let's
use the construction to describe high quality work. Seeing here
referring to the Amish quality of work. So when somebody
does something amazing and you're like, this is perfect, You're like, yeah,

(01:09:45):
I yodered it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
I love it. Yodered or yoder is your urban word
of the day.

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Now, you know, it's always good to know. You know,
what's I just found this out. There is a sect
of Amish in South America, in the Argentina and Bolivia.
They still have the horse and buggy and everything. They're

(01:10:17):
probably yodaing it out there, there's no doubt about that.
Speaking of that, they don't celebrate Halloween, but you do.
But do you know about the candy? What could be
in the candy? It's time for being terrified by candy stories.

Speaker 16 (01:10:36):
For Halloween authorities in Arkansas showing examples of illegal candy
like products still sold in convenience stores. Police say the
branch are not behind the counterfeit products. A spokesperson for
the National Confectioners Association, saying the theft of intellectual property
by cannabis companies is egregious. With consumer safety as our
top priority, we advocate for common sense regulations to ensure

(01:10:57):
cannabis containing edibles are viewed as distinctive confectionery products.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Yes, I think they're worried that there's gonna be whole
bunch of kids getting high from some sort of gummies
given out this year.

Speaker 16 (01:11:08):
In the Halloween near Sacramento, California, several third graders got
sick after eating candy later found to contain THCHC, the
active ingredient in marijuana. The school principle says the packaging
closely resembled regular candy, and the student who brought it
to school had no idea what it actually was.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
That's what that kid wants you to believe. But is
it true?

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
So this year you're going to have to eat all
your kids candy, and if you get high, you're gonna
be like you guys are lucky.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Eat all your candy.

Speaker 32 (01:11:36):
Look for unusual symbols, unusual orders, anything that may indicate
this isn't normal.

Speaker 28 (01:11:40):
And if you're a child and you're not sure what
you have go to an adult.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Smart, always smart, and watch out for the razor blades.
I don't think that was ever a thing. First of all,
what are you going to stick a razor blade in
an apple? You know what kids aren't eating?

Speaker 4 (01:11:55):
And apple?

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
I mean just but the weed thing that that could
be real because they have made these things look so.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
Enticing, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
three at Chad Benton shows your ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
And mirror coming up.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Uh yeah, we've got your scary movie countdown. Our man,
Mike Liones military an, let's going to join the program.
I'm going to talk about Venezuela. We're going to talk
about what is going on not only in Venezuela, but
you know, the Ukraine, Israel, all of those things.

Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
But what's happening with China.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Are they watching this thinking they may be able to
make a move because she has made it abundantly clear
he's not going to allow the Taiwan situation to land
on anybody else's side of history. So we'll talk about
that among other things. We've also got what's trending coming
up as well. Reach out those across all of our
social media, our number three straight ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
This is the Chad Benton Chat.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
I've been saying it for quite a long time. AI
is the greatest achievement in our lifetime. It may be
the end of us, but it is the greatest thing
that's You can go back, fire wheel, combustible engine, those
things are massive. This, in my opinion, has the potential

(01:13:56):
to be even bigger. It's already on par with but
I do believe it will be bigger, and it might
be our downfall, but I do believe that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
If you don't believe me, no gates.

Speaker 32 (01:14:07):
AI is the biggest technical things ever in my lifetime.
I mean, it is so profound and therefore its influence
is hard to overstate.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
And why do I bring that up because today Amazon
has decided, Hey, we're going all in AI. So that
means a lot of you going to be jobless.

Speaker 33 (01:14:29):
Got breaking news this morning, massive job cuts at Amazon overnight,
the company announcing it'll eliminate approximately fourteen thousand roles. This
is the largest corporate layoff of the year, one of
the largest in Amazon's history. And you see senior business
correspondent Christine Romans joins us. Now, Christine, this may be
preview of coming attractions. The AI boom is real, and

(01:14:52):
it's meaning a lot of jobs are going away.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
It really is.

Speaker 34 (01:14:54):
And this is fourteen thousand at Amazon and people start
to get that notice here today, the company says it
needs to be lean and remain more nimble in this
age of generative AI. They want to operate like the
world's largest startup.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
The world's largest startup. AI is not going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
This is the biggest thing that's ever happened to us,
and it's going to shape and change our world in
ways that we cannot even fathom.

Speaker 3 (01:15:21):
And some of it may not be great. I'm not
pretending it is.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
You guys have heard me talk about this, but the
importance of AI cannot be overstated.

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
This thing is massive.

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
But there was always going to be situations where you
were going to see this. And in my industry people
will say, well, you always talk about this here, and
let me tell you some about my industry. We've had
a battle with downsizing for years. You didn't need AI
because once you had syndication, well you took care of that.
For the most part. Outside of one or two people,

(01:15:51):
you could be on hundreds of stations, and it's gone on.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
That way for years. We were early into it without
AI being AI.

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
AI now is going after jobs that many people thought
those things are get at mid level management. You're never
going to have to worry about that. It is here
and it is not going anywhere.

Speaker 34 (01:16:09):
NY call AI the most transformative technology since the Internet.
They want to reduce layers. They want to be able
to move quickly to harness this so that they can
make more money and serve their customers. So I think
you're seeing this in a lot of different businesses as well.
We have seen layoffs recently from Microsoft, Meta, Google Salesforce, Intel.
Target last week announced some layoffs at its corporate office,

(01:16:31):
sometimes for different reasons, but we know that companies are
moving very very quickly to try to harness this.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
It's so interesting.

Speaker 34 (01:16:38):
You've got the stock market at record highs in part
because of all of this spending and enthusiasm over artificial intelligence.
At the same time that same technology is being used
in these companies to become more.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
Lean, which is you know, you know, you want to
talk about bringing manufacturing back and bringing all these things
back if you have all robots and all lay on,
you can bring it back human beings, the costly things.
And I will tell you the stock market will be
up today. Not because there's big profit for AI companies.
The fact is a vast majority, if you've heard us

(01:17:10):
talk about it on you know here with Zach, vast
majority of these companies are so far away from ever
seeing any kind of profit whatsoever because they've pumped so
much money into these things.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
It will be years.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
No matter how profitable they are right now, and many
of them aren't even close to being profitable, it'll be
years before they will be ever able.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
To recoup anything.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
But you need to be in the space. You absolutely
must be, or else you're done for. And Amazon jumped
on it now and said we're doing this.

Speaker 35 (01:17:42):
This is important to follow because tech companies are a
bellweather for the broader economy. They can be and right
now hiring is slowing for the first time since the pandemic.
There are more unemployed workers than jobs available, although overall
unemployment is still historically low at four.

Speaker 3 (01:17:59):
P Yeah, that's good, it's low, four point three percent.
We love that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
It's a trip man. Fourteen thousand people find out their
gigs are gone.

Speaker 35 (01:18:07):
It is one of the largest rounds of layoffs in
the company's history. Why would Amazon be doing this right
now ahead of the holidays. While the company seems to
be doing well well In a no two employees this morning,
they say, the world is changing quickly. This generation of
AI is the most transformative technology we have seen since
the Internet.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
That's why they told them straight out. Let me tell
you why, because you know you fourteen thousand people. Well,
I can get five hundred people to do twenty thousand jobs.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
I don't need you. And that sounds harsh, but that's
just reality.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
I mean, there's a there's a podcast company out there
right now that's producing thousands of podcasts a week. Nobody's human,
it's all AI generated. There are so many of these things.
And as good as it is on the entertainment level,
because a lot of what you're seeing when you're scrolling
and stuff, that entertainment side is amazing, but it's scary.

(01:19:02):
But when you get to the brass tax of how
you're going to be able to use genitive AI when
it comes to business, and it's not just business. The
medical field is using it and that will come more
and more into play in the future.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
The law field.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
If you are a lawyer and it is your first
big gig, that's going to be going away. You're working
in law firms, we working seventy eighty hours a week,
analyst in Wall Street, all of those things they're going
to be leaving.

Speaker 35 (01:19:33):
Amazon isn't alone here making these changes in the midst
of a major AI transformation. Target announced last week that
it will be eliminating about eighteen hundred rules. Other tech
giants like Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Intel have also made
cuts this year.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
And it's not because they're failing. It's because they see
what's coming and they want to be a part of
Its going to be interesting as we head into the holidays.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty three,
ATCH had been to show as your ex your Insta,
YouTube and more.

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
And I want you to think about this.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
As good as this stuff is right now, by Christmas
first of the year, it's going to be a thousand
times better. By next year, it's going to be something
we can't even fathom. That's the speed of which AI
is growing. What's growing as well as our debt. The
good news is they're not spending any money because the
government is.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
Shut am I already struggling.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
I'm already stretching.

Speaker 30 (01:20:30):
Food.

Speaker 7 (01:20:31):
Got to come over a plan so that kids can
still eat and still go to school.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
As a frustrated government worker as they sit around, going okay,
so what.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Is going to happen? Are we not open? Are we
ever going to open?

Speaker 5 (01:20:44):
Forty two million Americans could lose government food assistants by
the end of the week. House Speaker Mike Johnson, agreeing
with the Trump administration's argument that they cannot legally tap
into emergency funds to keep the government's nutrition program running
during the shutdown.

Speaker 6 (01:20:58):
The reason is because it's it's a finite a source
of funds. It was appropriated by Congress, and if they
transfer funds from these other sources, it pulls it away
immediately from school mills and infant formula.

Speaker 5 (01:21:10):
But Democrats say the administration has moved money around before,
including to pay military expenses.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
Yes they have, but that was a one time thing,
and coming this week, the military is probably going to
miss their first checks. You've got air traffic controllers missing checks.
You've got so many people. And then the one thing
that's not talked about that needs to be talked about
more and more is the businesses that aren't government but

(01:21:38):
contract with government. They're missing opportunities, they're not getting paid.
Their businesses right now are on pause. It is going
to really become an issue. My assumption is next week
it'll be a much bigger issue. And the reason because
people have missed their first nap and there is going
to be a louder voice that's going to be pushing

(01:22:04):
both parties to get at Right now, the Democrats are
feeling their first push coming from Union saying, you guys
need to get in there and fix this. You need
to get in there and work with the Republicans. We
need to get this reopened or else. And I don't
think that's going to happen just yet. Like I said,

(01:22:25):
it is until one party is absolutely one hundred percent
in the blame category that you're going to see that
much movement unless the overwhelming push by America itself is
you guys need to get your heads out your butt
and work. So the left is going to go this
is about this, this, and this, and the Right's going
to do what they usually do, which is it's about

(01:22:47):
illegal immigration, paying you know, illegals et cetera.

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
Et cetera.

Speaker 6 (01:22:51):
But among the things they're demanding, this is what the
Democrats in the Senat are.

Speaker 30 (01:22:55):
Demanding to reopen the government.

Speaker 6 (01:22:56):
They want to give two hundred billion dollars in health
benefits to illegal aliens and non citizens paid for by
US tax pickers.

Speaker 30 (01:23:04):
That is in their proposal.

Speaker 6 (01:23:06):
They want billions in wasteful programs to be returned to
foreign countries.

Speaker 30 (01:23:10):
So we stop these things. They want to turn it
all back on.

Speaker 6 (01:23:14):
They're demanding that we do all that to get the
government open for hard working Americans again.

Speaker 30 (01:23:19):
They want to give a half a billion to left.

Speaker 6 (01:23:21):
Leanning news news organizations, and they want to cut fifty
billion dollars from rural hospitals. We cannot, we will not
do those things. And they know that very well.

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
Is that all true? Not so much. Everything comes with
some nuance.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
Some of it's just bs, and some of it is
This was already in the c Are you just throwing
everything in there? If we were fine with not having
the and this is really about the subsidies. If we
were fine with not having the subsidies, you guys would
have got everything else through. So do I think this
is happening this week? Like I said, I don't, I
do not. One of the things, though aid may be

(01:23:59):
needed for, is what's going on in Jamaica with Melissa.
She is coming, she is angry, and she is bringing fury.

Speaker 11 (01:24:09):
Melissa approaching as a Category five hurricane overnight with winds
up to one hundred and seventy five miles per hour.
Three deaths already reported before the worst of the storm hits.
Video from Air Force Hurricane Hunters shows inside the eye
of Melissa, the eyewall nearly vertical, the flight forced to
turn back after hitting severe turbulence, a Miami based hurricane

(01:24:30):
researcher calling it the most turbulent he's ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
It is nasty and it is going to slam in
and is slamming in. You may have already listened to
this later in the day through the podcast some of debt.
It's already hit and it's causing death. And the big
thing is how much rain is it going to be
and is it going to be a stall which will
cause the water to be oversaturated. Then through the winds
and the mud, you're going to see real disaster. God

(01:24:54):
willing death doesn't happen, but it's definitely the first Nasty
Nasty Storm of the Year three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three. Act D Benson Show, is

But first, relief Factor. Working out vitally important, and let

(01:25:17):
me tell you. Relief Factor helps you with that. It's
about recovery and why this It takes a long recovery
because as you get older age inflammatory issues and you
and I both know what a nightmare of that is.

Relief Factor is a one hundercent drug free formula.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
It's design to support the body's natural inflammatory response. It's
got four key ingredients Omega three fatty acids, resveratrol, Kushamann,
and acar and each support the body's inflammatory response from
different metabolic pathways. I use it every single day. I'm
working out more, I'm lifting more weights and playing a
lot more pickleball. And because of Relief Factor, I recover

(01:25:54):
much faster and I feel much better.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
My wife and I both swear by it.

as the Dollyers are a chance to win at home.

Three, two, three, five, twenty four to twenty three at
Chedmnson shows, your ex your Insta YouTube and more coming up.
My buddy Mike clients, it's going to join the programs
our military analyst. We're going to talk about all things military,
including what's going on.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
In Venezuela. Chad Benson Show, then.

Speaker 10 (01:30:59):
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
That time of the week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
We talked to Mike Lyons, tired major in the Army
and the best damn military analyst period case close. Watching
him on CNN last week, I text him. I said, Dude,
I look at your CNN. You're like, did you see
the BUCkies thing behind me? Oh? Man, let's get into
it the whole thing with what's going on with Venezuela.
The guns that we're attacking boats, you know, we're blowing

(01:31:46):
them out of the water. This just feels very bizarre. Mike,
I am not a fan of what's going on. I'm
in the Rand Paul camp of this. Seems like it's judge,
jury and executioner and they're twenty two hundred miles away
from our shores.

Speaker 13 (01:32:01):
Well, I think a lot of it has to do
from a legal perspective. When they deploy the gerald Ford
now the aircraft carrying the entire task force, and you're
bringing hornets and destroyers and growlers, I mean, every conceivable
weapon system that the US has an inventory that uses
project power, for example in the Middle East and the Pacific.
It brought it to the Caribbean, and it's now the

(01:32:23):
pretext for the legality of making these attacks. They're calling
these people narco terrorists, their combatants. It's wartime. It makes
no impact at all on exactly what's moving. Twenty five
hundred metric tons of cocaine move on an annual basis
from Venezuela and Colombia up through Mexico and eventually makes

(01:32:44):
its way to the United States and hitting a couple
of boats is good performatively, but it just doesn't seem
to make any change in what regard to the situation
is actually going on. But again, they're using this as cover,
our legal cover in order to justify it moving more
destroyers again in Trinidad and the like. So I don't
know where this is going, and I'd like to get

(01:33:06):
an explanation at some point as to what specifically the
antend OF's administration is when it comes to this.

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
I mean, he came in Trump, no wars, none of
this stuff. It feels like you're not moving this amount
of resources to an area where you're going to flex
on a guy that you know you want to get
rid of.

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):
And you've got a South.

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
Florida contingent of people that want to get rid of
Venezuela as you know, dictator and maybe see the collapse
of Cuba, and I think Marco Rubio is playing a
huge part in this. But you're not moving all of
these things here to not do something because that would
just strengthen Maduro.

Speaker 13 (01:33:44):
Well, and he has an actual military, I mean thirty
million people in Venezuela. He's got a we'll call a
layered military. They have defenses and have systems, but it
would be catastrophic. I mean, first of all, where are
we going to get this charter from the UN Venezuela.
That's what we have to do, their sovereign nation, whether
we like it or not. But this cavalier attitude of

(01:34:05):
like he's got to go, I just I just don't get.
I don't understand how we think it's going to be
a seamless transition of power, like the wall is going
to fall again or something and things are going to
be okay. So again, I don't know where this administration
is going, how they plan on doing it, and if
they think just moving a bunch of destroyers close to
the shoreline, it's going to make them flinch, I don't think.
So there you saw that sixty minutes episode that was

(01:34:27):
pretty enlightening or on Sunday about what's going on of Venezuela.
He feels pretty comfortable there still and no changes seem
to be happening inside the country.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
Talking to my client's military, and let's we talk about
Venezuela and all things military.

Speaker 3 (01:34:43):
What do what does.

Speaker 2 (01:34:44):
Venezuela have you know, because I mean we've got what
do we have over there? And what did they have
that could give us, you know, you can push back
on us a little bit.

Speaker 13 (01:34:53):
Well, so you have to look at this as Venezuela
tied with Colombia. Columbia manufacturers cocaine and Venezuela ships it.
They basically are the how it leaves the country and
how it leaves the Hemisphere or the southern southern part
of the Hemisphere. Which is why the two maritime channels
in one to the to the Caribbean and then the
other side in the Pacific is a big deal of

(01:35:15):
the fact that the administration is going after boats in
the Pacific, so Venezuela does not have a border on
that side of the Panama Canal. Panama Canal is this
divider that exists between these two countries from a maritime perspective.

Speaker 18 (01:35:28):
So so that.

Speaker 13 (01:35:29):
Means Colombia is getting more involved putting cocaine and containers
and not not just little speedboats. They're they're hiding it
and they're smuggling it in other other manners. But Venezuela
has been heavy for moving that product out of out
of Columbia, and that's that's kind of their gig and
and they figure out ways to do that because they
have a there's a lot more going on on that side.

Speaker 18 (01:35:50):
Of the of the Panama Canal to do that.

Speaker 13 (01:35:52):
Now, what the United States has done is they've clamped
down rightfully, so right now on Colombia. Columbia's number one
exporter is to the United States and they're so they're
putting economic leverage on them in that perspective. Same thing
with Venezuela, because Venezuela also sits on a ton of
natural gas and oil reserves, as well as rare earth minerals,

(01:36:13):
which is the future of warfare eventually as we fight
over what's going to take to make some of these
weapons systems. So the leverage is still performative, it gets
militarily if Trump runs out of time and thinks his
administration is not going to get it done.

Speaker 18 (01:36:27):
While he's the president.

Speaker 2 (01:36:28):
Talking to Mike Clions military analysts, we talk about Venezuela.
We're going to talk a little about Ukraine coming up
in a second as well. I continue to think because
I don't hear enough talk about this in the mainstream media,
but other people are following it. You know, they'll say, oh,
they move things here, they move things there. But do
you think because I feel like we are going to
do something. It's Trump's basically come out and said, what,

(01:36:48):
We've taken them out in the water, Now we're going
to go on land.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
Do you think it's going to happen? Is it not? If?

Speaker 13 (01:36:52):
But when I can't imagine only because this is the
peace time president. He wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
He's not winning the Nobel Peace Prize if we invade Venezuela.
It's also not Panama nineteen eighty nine. You're not getting
rid of Noriega and that same kind of situation. Venezuela
again is a big, mature country, serious military.

Speaker 18 (01:37:11):
You would need eighty hundred thousand.

Speaker 13 (01:37:12):
Troops in order to assure the victory on the ground
that you would take. Now, we could do something similar
to what happened to Libya, let's say, and we can
destroy a lot of it, a lot of it's infrastructure
from Afar, but nothing ever happens until somebody shows up
on land and decides they're going to actually take territory,
which is why Libya is. The message is today it

(01:37:32):
just was destroyed by the United States and then everybody
just kind of left its own devices that can't happen
in our hemisphere, So that's not a good solution. Does
land mean we're going to go to Mexico? I mean,
where are we going to take out this threat? It
emanates in Colombia, and it emanates by those cartels that
are there.

Speaker 18 (01:37:50):
It emanates from where they grow.

Speaker 13 (01:37:52):
The farmers have not been incentivized to grow different product
besides cocaine with the land they have until until the
fundamental conditions I guess what's that term that Kamala Harris uses, Right,
the fundamental conditions on the grounds change. That's what we
have to do if you want things to go different there.
And that might be just a bridge too.

Speaker 3 (01:38:11):
Far, bridge too far. I'm not done. We are bad
at coups, Mike, we are.

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
We're great at the first part when it comes to
sticking the landing. The second part we are not very
good at that. I mean, Rubio put up a picture
of Maduro and Kadaffi.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
That says a lot to me.

Speaker 13 (01:38:27):
Right there, you know, just the last twenty five years
in Iraq, in Afghanistan, that's just right there. That's a
close battle, so to speak. The military, no question, can
break things and screw things up and make things bad
for the host country. But again, until you have that
Phase five, which is not a solution or it's not
a military mission necessarily. And I've always argued that to

(01:38:51):
use the military as war fighters and peacekeepers on the
same mission as just too contradictory. That we just have
a great military, but it's too hard on the human
nature in order to be a war fighter this street
and then next street, to be a peacekeeper and keep
whipsawing back and forth, and that's what it would that's
what it will take once again, because there's no other
there's no other large group of people that are going

(01:39:12):
to come. There's no state department in military that comes
behind the US Army and Marines that would land potentially
in Venezuela. I can't believe what I'm saying that, But
there's that doesn't happen, and there's the military gets over
taxed and then next thing, you know, we go down
the slippery slope because then crimes start getting committed and
the military is is not good at that. So we're
at that spot though, chat I think that until the

(01:39:32):
administration better started, you know, explaining specifically what they what
they want to do in Venezuela, you're talking War Powers Act,
we're talking authorization used to military force.

Speaker 18 (01:39:42):
All those things have got to come into play.

Speaker 13 (01:39:44):
That's going to transcend just you know, hitting a couple
of speedboats in the Pacific and in the Caribbean.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Talking to my client's military analysts, we talk about all
things military. All right, let's talk quickly about what's going
on when it comes to Ukraine. There's been I mean,
you know, in this base of two weeks it was
you're never getting any of this, You got to give
it the down, bass Zelenski and them arguing to hey,
here's some Tomahawk missiles. I mean, it's just it feels
like it's all over. And then Putin goes out and

(01:40:11):
tests a new, big giant weapon.

Speaker 13 (01:40:13):
Yeah, he's recognizing again performative leverage is the way to go.
That's a loitering cruise missile. I guess I can sit
in this guy for twelve hours and lloyd around. It's
nuclear powered. Possibly he possibly does have some nuclear tip
weapons that are there. But that is all about because

(01:40:33):
Vladimir Putin knows if Donald Trump wants to insert any
leverage back into that theater, he has to promise Ukraine
an air defense umbrella that would include NATO, so that
wouldn't necessarily be a no fly zone because that's really
an active war. But let's say NATO forces helped shoot
down some of the Russian missiles that are coming in
on Ukraine, which is really a number one problem in

(01:40:54):
Ukraine has right now, they don't they're still subject to
Russian terror weapons that fly in hit civilian hospitals. But
let's say if the United States got with NATO and
decided to put a better air defense umbrella, that would
really take a lot of leverage away from Vladimir Putin.
So that's why I think he launched that missile with
the attitude that this can get through anywhere and go

(01:41:16):
anywhere it wants to go. So that's what that was
all about. Vladimir Putin recognizes that Trump is looking for
a leverage in Ukraine, doesn't have it, doesn't feel it,
and he knows that it'll be restored if we pour
more military equipment in or fix the air defense platforms.
If that happens, then Russia doesn't have the same leverage
over the Ukraine as it had in the past.

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):
If we go and do something like that where not
so much no fly zome, but we'll shoot some stuff
down or give them more. Is he going to see
that as it comes to West infringing on us? So
now I'm gonna have to go bigger.

Speaker 13 (01:41:44):
I don't know, I don't believe. So I think that's
why Trump is reticent to go that route. So I
think he gets this thing becomes a you know, spiralings,
you know case eventually, because what is that magic you know,
lynch pin that you pull out that causes Russia.

Speaker 18 (01:42:01):
To do this?

Speaker 13 (01:42:02):
It's still has more people. I personally think that it
would only change if we poured in tanks, ground vehicles,
But the Ukrainians don't have the manpower to necessarily man them.
And the economic sanctions they talk a great game, but
every time I wake up, they haven't been implemented yet,
and there's still a lot of reliance of Europeans on

(01:42:23):
Russian oil. So again, the politicians, they are not going
to make that change. So I don't think. So to
short answer your question is even the air defense system
just might cause Russia to try harder and move more
missiles inside a cube inside of Ukraine if they could.

(01:43:55):
Movie Countdown. Let's do it as we wrap it up
straight ahead, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 31 (01:44:06):
Welcome to Jack No, Not the Country, the Institution, The
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
As we wrap it up on this Tuesday, we'll continue
our marks to number one in our Scary Movie Countdown,
and we're getting closer to closer to number one every
single day.

Speaker 4 (01:44:21):
Let's get to it.

Speaker 19 (01:44:23):
The time has come, so prepare yourself for a journey
of fear from the darkest corner of cinema, the most
bone chilling tales ever told. It's the countdown you've been
waiting for. Which movie will take the top spot?

Speaker 4 (01:44:42):
Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (01:44:43):
Number four? All right? Number four today?

Speaker 2 (01:44:47):
An amazing movie directed by the great Toby Hooper, came
out in nineteen seventy four, starring Marilyn Burns, Gunnar Hanson,
and Edwin Neil, inspired loosely by a man named ed Gan.

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
It was shot in Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:45:01):
Should give you a hint, so over one hundred degrees
when they shot this movie, and it scared them, But
Jesus out of everyone gross over thirty million dollars on
one hundred and forty million dollar budget. A friend of
his named John Larriquette did the trailer narration for this
classic horror movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Speaker 20 (01:45:22):
The film which you are about to see is an
account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths,
in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother Franklin. It
is all the more tragic and that they were young,
but had they lived very, very long lives, they could
not have expected, nor would they have wished to see

(01:45:43):
as much of the mad and macab as they were
to see that day. For them, an idyllic summer afternoon
drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were
to lead to the discovery of one of the most
bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
An amazing movie shot essentially like an eight millimeter film
Toby Hooper thought it was and this was his launch.
He was a director who had done tons of documentaries
that had gotten you know, people to notice who he was.
But the reality was it really wasn't going well for
him in that sense.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
So he decided to make this movie, and well history.

Speaker 21 (01:46:26):
I wanted to see a horror film that not only
was a good film, but that gave me my money's
worth of scare. And most films didn't. I mean, they
didn't even begin to know the psychological house of cards
that you have to. I mean, it's a delicate thing,
the planting of information. I mean, we know that Chainsaw

(01:46:48):
has something to do with cannibalism, but the word cannibalism
is never used.

Speaker 18 (01:46:52):
It's only inferred.

Speaker 21 (01:46:54):
You can only assume that it wanted for the audience
to be able to piece puzzle together without being told
in a under executive supervision. Now we're told, you know,
make sure they understand. God forbid they think, but make
sure they understand.

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
The movie was supposed to be somewhat of a dark comedy.
In fact, on numerous occasions he had gone to the
ratings people to ask him what what do I have
to do to get a g.

Speaker 3 (01:47:22):
There wasn't a lot of blood. You didn't see a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
It was mostly noise sound and in the fright of
leather Face played by Gunner Hansen that you saw.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
The reality was there wasn't a ton of blood.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
There wasn't a ton of It was more things that
were alluded to in the movie. Originally they gave it
an AX. He got it down to an R. So
much for a G, which is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:47:49):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:47:50):
It was filmed in Texas at a time when the
heat are you ready for this? Over one hundred degrees,
one of the hottest times in Texas histories. Most of
the casts worked for essentially peenis less than one hundred dollars,
didn't see royalties until years later, and the smell on
the set because they never changed their clothes or washed

(01:48:11):
their clothes was disgusting, including Gunner Hanson's hundred and twenty
pounds costume where he played leather Face and yes, it
was a real chainsaw and at times he got it
very close to people. Marilyn Burns suffered real injuries throughout
the shoot, including cutts, bruises, even a black guy from
running through the actual brush and brambles. The final dinner
scene took twenty six straight hours of filming. It is

(01:48:35):
one of the great movies in the Annals of horror,
and just a great movie altogether. You're number four in
our Scary Movie countdown. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Let
