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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
The government was closed, but guess what, the streets were open,
filled with people having their voices heard to stop the
King from doing king things, except for the part where
we don't have a freaking gang.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
President Trump mocking the millions of Americans who took to
the streets in peaceful protest on Saturday and what has
been described as one of the largest single day demonstrations
in US history. Trump responding via social media, posting an
AI generated video depicting a crowned Trump flying a King
Trump jet and sharing another video first posted by Vice

(00:50):
President JD.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Vance, showing Trump placing a crown on his head. Wow,
well he wins the main battle. It was bizarre. I
was going to go out and do some reporting from there,
but I don't want to. We're in the middle of
moving and I thought, you know what, it's the same stuff, right,

(01:13):
It's a bunch of people out there who say crazy
stuff about how much they want Trump to die and
how horrible everything is and how the world's coming apart
and now we're never going to survive this, and YadA, YadA, YadA.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
So this is your birthday, so you came out on
your birthday, you thought it was important.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Tell me more absolutely, because I have two little boys
who deserve a bright future of freedom and democracy, and
this is a nightmare that I'm living in and I'm
here to make a difference and to be loud, I'm proud,
and there's no other way I'd want to celebrate my
birthday with. But there, I'm my best friend fighting for

(01:49):
our country.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Okay, So for a birthday, President, what do you hope happens?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
You know, you wake up tomorrow morning.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
I hope that I see the obituary that we're waiting
for tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
That's what I hope for.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
You, that President Trump is dead.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yes, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
There you go. Absolutely, that's that's their dream. Do you
think anybody else felt that way. There's plenty of people
that run around over emotional. Oh my god, it's like
the worst thing ever. The world's coming to an end. Now,
this is a moment in time in our country. Our
country is having a moment. Some people say it's the

(02:34):
greatest moment in history. Others say it's the worst time
in history. It's a moment in time. Everybody needs to
calm the front down.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
Who are you gonna kills who do you.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
What do you mean? It's great in this context.

Speaker 7 (02:52):
Who's a Nazi?

Speaker 8 (02:54):
So you're gonna kill Stephen Miller?

Speaker 9 (02:55):
I had a chance here. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:57):
If i'd somebody, I'd say on camera, bro.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
To kill Stephen Miller, because yeah, that's right again, over
and over. I could play so many of these things.
Just people angry, shoot ice, get I mean, they're out there,
some of them. I saw signs they're pissed off of
the you know, the tech garks, the only garks of
the tech world. Some people just out there because they
feel they need to do something.

Speaker 10 (03:21):
We've got to fight for our constitution and we got
to fight for American democracy.

Speaker 11 (03:26):
That's the only reason we're here. We love our country.

Speaker 12 (03:30):
I love America. That's why I'm here.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
It's a democracy, right. We don't need a kid.

Speaker 8 (03:39):
It feels good to be in community. It feels great
to be with other people. And you can get sucked
down a hole and be scared, but we don't have
to be.

Speaker 7 (03:49):
We don't like what's happening, and we need to do something.
And if this is all I can do, this is
all I can do. I have to do something.

Speaker 13 (03:55):
But on something you can do you know, call your representatives,
just be active and use your voice.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
There you go, do that. I don't I have to
explain to people. Let me tell you how kings work
in the way that you think he's a king. You
don't get to do this. You don't get to do
any of this. If you do do this, there's trouble.
And in fact, he nips it in the bud long
before it ever gets to the point where several million
people take to the streets. It just doesn't happen. So

(04:23):
he's not a dictator. He's not a king. Does he
push the envelope one hundred percent? Does he cross the line?
He does? Does he get checked every once in a while? Yes?
Does he have a court that favors the way that
he believes and looks at things? He does? But is
he a king? He is not. Is he a dictator? Again,

(04:44):
he is not. Not that it matters because a lot
of emotion out there and a lot of people out
there just having fun. It was peaceful. We move on
with ourselves. Does Trump care no, because he thinks it's
people are idiots?

Speaker 14 (04:55):
Currie's WONTSF protest over the weekend, the new King for it.

Speaker 12 (05:00):
I looked at the people.

Speaker 15 (05:01):
They're not representative of this country. And I looked at
all the brand news science. I guess it was paid
for by Sorrows and other radical left lunatics. It looks
like it was. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were
very small, very ineffective, and the people who are whacked
out when you look at those people, those are not
representative but the people of our country.

Speaker 16 (05:25):
I'm not a king.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm not a king.

Speaker 12 (05:27):
I work my ass off to make our country great.

Speaker 15 (05:30):
That's all it is.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I'm not a king at all. He's not a king.
I'm not a king. He's not a king. Jan you
don't have to like him. There's things that he doesn't
drives me crazy. You guys know that because I'm not
afraid to call it out. That being said, not a
king and the whole We're going to go after Soros

(05:51):
and everybody else. All right, do whatever you think you
need to do, but don't bs me and say it's
not a free speech, because that's what I do. Get frustrated.
If he's funding violence, absolutely go after If he's funding
groups who are activists who go out there and absolutely

(06:13):
go after you and your administration. But they're not violent,
Well then that's just free speech. Oh okay, all right,
just putting that out there. Meanwhile, in France, what can
you do with, you know, some cutters, a cherry picker,
some scooters you can rob?

Speaker 17 (06:35):
The louver authority say the men taking nine pieces in
all priceless items, including sets of sapphire and emerald necklaces
and earrings, elaborate diamond broaches to diadems, and Napoleon's wife,
Empress Eugenie's diamond encrusted golden crown nearly two hundred years old,
which prosecutors say was recovered at the scene, reportedly damaged

(06:57):
and left behind as the thieves made their escape, pep
on waiting scooters.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, they dropped them. It was not sophisticated, but it
was timed perfectly. Under seven minutes. I think it was
a close to five. They tried to set their van
a fire, which didn't happen. Then they out on scooters
and zipped away. Everybody's like, wow, they're going to sell
these things. How do you sell these things? The only

(07:22):
thing you could do is break them up into bits
and pieces and sell them. You can't sell them otherwise.
Nobody wants art like this, they can't display. Nobody does.
Maybe you'll get a chic did you say, is she?

Speaker 16 (07:35):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
He get one of these guys who may want something
and are willing to spend a little bit of money
on it. They're gonna keep it on their boat and
float around, and everyone's will to pull it out to
some pople they know they can trust. Otherwise. No, if
it's like somebody stole we were talking about this, yet
we're getting a debate about this. If somebody stole the
Mona Lisa, you couldn't give that thing away because of

(07:59):
the cheat it would bring. It's the same thing here.
You're gonna have to break the jewels down and bust
it all up. Oh yeah, this ain't easy, baby, No, no, no,
this ain't easy at all. So while they did a
bizarrely quick job in this and it was the fact is,

(08:21):
I don't know what they're gonna do with it, Melt
it down, break it into bits and pieces. What exactly
they end up getting away with. Not sophisticated, but effective,
and that works sometimes. Speaking of working the Hummas Israel ceasefire, currently,

(08:42):
there's an issue which shouldn't be a surprise you know,
I think a lot of people are. You know, first
of all, there's a lot of weirdos out there that
want this thing to fail because they don't want Trump
to have some sort of win, which again, dumbest thing
in the world. Secondly, this was always going to be
an issue that was going to take while to get
sorted out. This was never going to be a one
in dune scenario.

Speaker 18 (09:04):
I think it would be kind of absurd for the
President to say, well, Masa is going to be disarmed
three or four days from now. We don't even have
the security infrastructure in place.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
We need the golf Arab states, our allies don't have.

Speaker 18 (09:16):
The security infrastructure in place yet to confirm that Hamas
is disarmed.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
So forty four people allegedly killed, and there's also some
other unsettling videos out there that the Masad and Israel
may be working with some of the militia groups that
go up against a MOAS and helping them out. Sky

(09:41):
News and AP had video out there of it. This though,
was never going to be a situation where it's going
to be simple and easy, because you have to get
the Gulf nations, as Van said, involved in this. You
have to bring them on board and make sure that

(10:02):
they're a part of this. It can't just be us
and it can't be just a piece of paper. So
that is watching people like, well, we knew it wasn't
gonna work. First of all, it's been less than a week. Secondly,
there's no infrastructure in place. There is no group of

(10:24):
I don't know what police force, security forces even close
to being put together. So how could you say it
wasn't gonna work.

Speaker 12 (10:33):
Either way, it's gonna be. It's gonna be handled properly.
It's gonna be handled toughly but.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Properly, thank you, King Trump. Toughly but properly. It was
just funny though, watching over the weekend people try to well,
you knew it wasn't gonna happen, knew it was gonna work.
And I'm thinking, you guys are just living in a
wackado world. You have to give it time. I told

(10:59):
you this. It's gonna be several steps forward, several steps backwards.
There's going to be moments in time, especially at first,
where nobody trusts anything and the blowing of the wind
and a piece of paper could set it off again.
But you have to give it time and there has
to be everybody participating before you make that decision and say,

(11:20):
all right, this thing's broken. We got to do something else.
Three two, three, five, eight, twenty four to twenty three
atch I'd Benson Show's here x instant all of the things.
A lot of stuff to get to today. Government still
shut down. We're gonna talk about that. Why healthcare talk
about that as well? Do we have a fix by we?
I mean us talk about that. Plus the greatest baseball

(11:40):
game of all time. We should talk about that. And
we got scary movie number ten today on the countdown

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 19 (13:11):
Yesterday, President Trump finally released what everyone has been asking
him to release. Nice George Santos, the former Republican congressman
who had pled guilty to fraud and something called aggravated
identity theft, which I think is when you push someone
into a closet and switch clothes with him.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's right. George Santos is free. Beware everybody. He is free,
looks at this as a second chance in life. He
knows he's done wrong. I was very curious, so I
did some research on whether or not this was a
harsh sentence. And it kind of was a harsh sentence.

(13:53):
I mean, was it. I mean, when you go and
look at some people who did some stuff. Duncan Hunter,
California campaign fun misuse right, he got eleven months. Chris Collins,
New York rep insider trading twenty six months, Kwame Kilpatrick

(14:14):
Detroit racketeering in fraud, twenty eight years. He was commuted
after seven. Lagoyevich, Illinois selling Senate seat wire fraud and bribery.
He got fourteen years, commuted after eighth George Santos fraud,
identity theft, which was the campaign theft. He was ordered

(14:35):
to pay back three hundred thousand plus dollars and he
got a and he had to forfeit the rest of
his funds. People who were pissed and angry about it.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Me.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I still find the whole thing with him fascinating that
nobody did their homework on a dude. He ended up
becoming a congressman who lied about being everything from a
pro volleyball player into an astronauts. It was just spectacular.
And nobody did their homework except a small paper, and

(15:09):
I'm talking a tiny thing, one of those papers where
the person writing the columns also selling the ads, and
that was the only person who did their homework. So
out he comes. I don't have a problem with it.
I don't mostly because and this the identity theft and
stuff is one thing, okay, but the whole campaign thing.

(15:31):
I look at it this way. If you don't do
your research on your congress people, and nobody bothers to
step up and at least dig deep three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
shows your ex your insta, YouTube and more right here
on the Chad Benson Show. Then whose fault is that?

(15:51):
Just out of curiosity? I don't agree with what he did.
It was awful. I'm not saying any of that stuff.
I don't want to diminish that. But a lot of
this goes down to the electric and the media that
didn't dive in and go who is this character? Let
me know what you think. Here was former and now

(16:12):
disgraced congressman and felon talking about you know, he's a
changed dude.

Speaker 20 (16:20):
This is a very personal journey and road for me ahead.
It is not going to be easy. It is I
am still a felon. I still wear the scorn of
my poor choices and my poor decisions, and I have
to fight that myself.

Speaker 12 (16:36):
Now.

Speaker 20 (16:36):
If you want to talk about my sentence, look, I
argue there were three plaints.

Speaker 21 (16:42):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 20 (16:42):
There were three defendants in my case, myself, my treasurer,
and a former staffer. My treasurer gets a three year
approbation sentence, which is appropriate for a first time nonviolent
white collar crime. I get a seven year disproportionate sentence.
That is anything but political. If you talk to anybody
who really looks at these kinds of.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Cases, you need to take responsibility. And he kind of
does that. Being said, it's one of it's like when
people go and give money to gofund mean and then
they find out that that's not really the story. You
didn't do your homework, that's all you thing. And he
pulled the wool over everybody's eyes, and she said the
balls to say the wet stuff, and he got away

(17:24):
with it for a long time he got elected. It
still makes me laugh. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three at Chet Benson shows your ex,
your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook and more. This is the
Jet Benson Show, then Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Show, the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
The government still shut down, no closer to being open.
I read something that says Thanksgiving question mark is it possible?
I think at this point anything is possible, And the
question goes back to what is it about? Well, it's
about power. It's about which side can be seen as

(18:25):
the righteous one fighting for the right reasons, and which
side can be seen as the evil one, in this case,
shutting the government down, people not getting paid, et cetera,
et cetera, and in doing so, once you get to
that threshold of fifty plus one, all of a sudden

(18:48):
you're on the track to win whatever it is they're
trying to win, which is usually re election. Ram Paul
over the weekend talking about, you know, what is this
really about? Because he's voted no with the Dems to
reopen the government. And it's different because remember it's not

(19:09):
like the spending's changing they're just moving this spending around.

Speaker 22 (19:13):
The way I look at these votes is they're determining
the spending level. So the legislation doesn't say do you
want to keep government closed or keep it open. Both parties,
when they're in power and the roles change, are guilty
of saying, oh, you want to shut the government down.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Even though I'm not with the.

Speaker 22 (19:29):
Democrats, I didn't vote for their Democrats spending bill and
I didn't vote for the Republican spending bill. I did
so because the spending levels lead to an enormous amount
of deficit. The Republican bill will lead to two trillion
dollars in deficit next year, the Democrat bill three trillion.

Speaker 23 (19:43):
Dollars in deficit. So I posed both.

Speaker 22 (19:45):
But it's not really that I oppose shutting the government down.

Speaker 23 (19:48):
So I'm in favor of paying the troops.

Speaker 22 (19:50):
I'm in favor of paying all of the employees that
are currently working. And if that procedure or that vote
comes before us next week, which I think there's a
chance that it will, I will support. I voted to
get on to the Defense Appropriation Bill last week, which
means moving forward towards opening the government and spending the
money doesn't mean I agree with the level of spending,

(20:10):
but I.

Speaker 23 (20:11):
Think they're not exactly the same vote.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
And it's always about the money, it is, and healthcare
is playing the biggest issue and role here for the Democrats.
Democrats are you know, First of all, they have had
several golden opportunities to go after Trump and they fail.
And they fail because they're led by donkeys. That's it.

(20:38):
They're led by people who are useless, old past their prime,
never were really part of anything worthwhile. Here's one of them.

Speaker 24 (20:47):
We need to reopen the government, stand by a hard
working federal civil servants. But we also, of course have
to decisively address the healthcare crisis that Republicans have visited
upon the American people.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Hakim Jeffries is he's useless, and we do have an
issue with healthcare and nobody will address it for real
for several reasons. One of them is one thing what
do you always talk about here, which is government loves
a problem, love's a problem that they can help you with,
but never really fix.

Speaker 24 (21:18):
We're talking about the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Hospitals,
nursing homes, and community based health centers are closing all
across America because of what Republicans have done with their
one big ugly bill.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
If I'm them, I want to come out and explain it. Look,
we need to keep the government open. They say they're
going to go and they're going to help us fix
this problem. They say they're going to go and help
us do this. We need to keep the government open,
we need to keep it funded. We don't like what's happening,
but just know this. The ball's in their court now,
and that's when you explain to everybody. Elections have consequences,
and the consequences were we didn't win the House, we

(21:54):
lost the Senate. We're in the situation we're in at
this time and will continue to be in this situation
unless things change. And the changing is you guys see
that we were right, that they were wrong, and that
is going to come when the fact that you're now
going to see your premiums rise and us holding out
the government isn't going to get this thing fixed at

(22:14):
any moment in time. So we've got to move forward
and allow them. They have promised us they are going
to sit down with us and go over health care
and help us fix it. Healthcare is a disaster because
we've allowed too many people government to become a part
of healthcare. You can draw the same line with the

(22:37):
cost of college. The minute the federal government really got involved,
up it went. The further you got away from your provider,
the person he or she who is your doctor, your
health care provider, the more convoluted became is when government
truly got involved in healthcare across the board. And if

(22:58):
you don't believe me, here's something so sixties and seventies
college tuition pretty affordable. There were some student loans right,
some pel grants, but by and large you paid the
college pretty damn affordable. Healthcare pre nineteen sixty five, patients
paid mostly costs. Direct federal insurance programs came in. Then

(23:18):
later on the ACA they added coverage, subsidies, demand surge.
Next thing, you know, hospitals and insurance companies did what
they adapted more bureaucracy, more billing, codes, more compliance. Therefore
the cost got higher, So we got further away from
our healthcare provider, and in doing so, what came in
between was bureaucracy, billing other people that were there for

(23:44):
regulations and codes and whatnot, And every one of them
took a little bite of something, and this is where
we are. It is a nightmare. And if you don't
think that everybody talks about socialized medicine, there's ways of
doing this that aren't quote unquote the socialized medicine you
think of. Both Switzerland and Holland have a hybrid method

(24:05):
that works. And if you don't think that we already
don't spend enough. On average, the United States spends thirteen thousand,
four hundred dollars per person on healthcare twice with Switzerland
and the Netherlands spent life expectancy ours is six years shorter,
infant mortalities higher. This is nuts. It's not about big

(24:29):
government a small government. It's about smart government. It is
the universal basic, managed competition approach that both Holland, Netherlands,
the Dutch what everyone called them, and the Swiss have
automatic enrollment and standard essential plan for all legal residents,

(24:50):
public of private options, individuals choose annually. Both compete on service,
not risk, income based subsidies, risk equalization funds, competence. It
insures who cover sacret patients and wait time guarantees and
access informants via bonus and penalty budgets. When you think
about how much we spend comparatively to other parts of

(25:12):
the globe, it's crazy, it really is. We spend seventeen
point six percent of our GDP with forty nine percent
public share, more than any other universal system. Why well,
we got Medicare, Medicaid VA, private insurance, employer coverage. Then

(25:34):
you throw in all the other stuff, the tax breaks,
the employer contribution. The cope is all this stuff. We
are a mess, and we can do better. And we
need to look out there and say to ourselves, Okay,
what can we do. Where's the hybrid model that works?
This is something we should look at. Here's the issue

(25:55):
lobbying power almost a trillion dollars seven hundred and fifty
billion in the healthcare lobby. Think about that for a second,
seven hundred and fifty billion dollars. We need to look
at something else. The system is broke. It isn't getting
fixed anytime sooner. It's becoming more and more frustration and
expense for all of us and less and less about

(26:16):
our care. If we're honest, we would take a look
at this and say, all right, what can we do
to make things better? But most people won't because they'll say, oh,
socialized medicine, it's not. We already spend more than other
countries on medicine. We're not getting a bang for our buck.
How do we make it better? Let me know what
you think. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

Irre like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
We're downed down the scariest movies have all time. We're
adding to number one. As you know. Currently we're halfway
through the top twenty countdown. Now on to number ten.
Number ten is a series of movies that came in
the way back ninety four years. To be exact, these
movies at the time were terrifying. Now with all the

(28:46):
stuff that we see would they be as terrifying. No,
But I want you to also understand the cultural impact
that these movies had, not just in the world and
what the world was going through, but also the impact
financially it had. Two at that time, kind of a
dying industry, the movie industry. The time has.

Speaker 26 (29:09):
Come, So prepare yourself for a journey of fear from
the darkest corner of cinema, the most bone chilling tales
ever told.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's the countdown you've been waiting for. Which movie will
take the top spot?

Speaker 27 (29:30):
How about a fish tail so big because the jaws
open wide.

Speaker 26 (29:39):
Or the story of a young innocent girl battling evil
with some help.

Speaker 23 (29:46):
Well, then let's introduce ourselves. I'm Damien Karras and.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
I'm that Devil.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
You'll have to listen to find out. Are you ready?
Number ten? Number ten series of movie that came about
in the early thirties, Universal Monsters, and you're thinking, well,
the Universe, yes, Dracula, the Invisible Man, the Mummy, Frankenstein,

(30:13):
even the Wolf Man. These movies did something huge. The
time the Great Depression was going on. Theaters were empty.
The struggle was real. Many production companies were ready to
shut their doors that along came in nineteen thirty one.

(30:34):
A scary movie, A terrifying movie, Dracula. Interestingly enough, Dracula.
Everybody thinks it's bram Stoker that the movie is based on.
It is actually not bram Stoker's Dracula that the movie's
based on. It's based on the play What Yah. Universal
bought the playwrights because they were cheaper. The novel was

(30:57):
too expensive at the time. It turned Bella Lagosi into
a star.

Speaker 9 (31:03):
I am Dracula, Dracula.

Speaker 25 (31:07):
I mention of the name brings to mind things so evil,
so fantastic, so degrading. You wonder if it isn't all
a dream, a nightmare? Dracula, Oh, what what they've done
to you today?

Speaker 9 (31:21):
Tell me me?

Speaker 28 (31:25):
He over to the same of his art, and he
made me dream.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
The movie was huge. Bellagosi got paid five hundred dollars
a week. The film had no score, only the opening
credits had any music, and they used the old sets
from The Phantom of the Opera to save money. It
was such a hit and the fear was so real
they offered shock blankets to faint prone viewers, and it

(31:51):
was banned in parts of China and England for being
too terrifying. Later on that year, another movie came out
from Universal, this time with a monster directed by James
Will starring Boris Karloff, who, by the way, wasn't even
put into the opening credits that movie. Frankenstein a lion.

Speaker 28 (32:19):
The Lion's a lime.

Speaker 25 (32:30):
When this dead hand moves, the monster created by a
man they called mad, is turned loose to strike terror
into the hearts of men, to shock women into uncontrolled hysteria,
to prey upon the innocence of children. This is the

(32:54):
story you've heard about, talked about, the spine tingling, blood
chilling story that's enjoy emotions.

Speaker 21 (33:01):
Thankenstein, massive hit.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
The interesting thing about this movie was they had warning
speeches at the beginning of some of the showings. It
was banned in several places, including Kansas for blasphemy because
it showed a man playing god, and it funded Universal's
next wave of monster films in the nineteen thirty five

(33:28):
movie The Bride of Frankenstein is still regarded as arguably
the best horror sequel ever. Deeper emotion, deeper tone. It
was awesome. Following those two hits, in nineteen thirty one,
Boris Karloff again jumped into the horror movie world, this
time The Mummy.

Speaker 29 (33:49):
Death eternal punishment for anyone who opens this casket the Mummy.

Speaker 9 (33:57):
Is it dead or alive, human or inhuman, You'll know,
You'll see, You'll feel the awful, creeping, crawling terror that
stands your hair on end and brings a scream to
your lips. There's nothing on earth like the Mummy.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
The Mummy was inspired by the real life discovery of
King Tut's tom There was actually no book written about it,
so the script was entirely written from nothing. Took six
weeks to write, Karlov again makeup, eight hours to apply,
two hours remove. He could barely move his face. It

(34:40):
was another smash hit. It was incredible. Boris Karlov went
on to have quite a career, and he and Belle
Lagosi were rivals for quite a long time. There was
lots of tension because Legosi thought he should be the
star of all the horror movies, but refused to do
any of the movies where there was no diale, where

(35:01):
Boris Karloff was completely fine with it and was easy
to direct. These movies saved Hollywood at a time when
the Great Depression was roaring if you will. After the
twenties and people needed an escape, and this gave them
an escape, and it brought them to the theaters and
it kept them there. You're number ten scariest movie on

(35:25):

Benson Show is straight ahead. You better not move or else.
This is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
There were no kings rallies this weekend. What were they like?
The usual angry, pissed off people with blue hair, a
lot of emotional people, some people that had some very
valid points out there. The beauty of our countries were
allowed to do this, but a lot of it was

(37:15):
just for show, and it was a party atmosphere, and
it was all of the things. And then you'll find
the people that say, ridiculous stuff.

Speaker 30 (37:22):
You gotta grab a cub we gotta churn around the
coves on this fascist system. These Ice Asians gonna get
shot and wiped out.

Speaker 21 (37:33):
Stay the stay machinery.

Speaker 30 (37:35):
That's a share the spay right there, got to get
wiped out.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
The usual stuff that comes along with stuff like this. Yeah,
you gotta wipe them out. We gotta take them out.
Blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah whatever, that's insane. Stop it, okay,
stop with your insanity. That being said, seven plus million
people took to the streets let their voices be heard.
Beauty of our country, phenomenal Trump. That's a waste of

(38:04):
time to.

Speaker 14 (38:05):
Responds to the protests over the weekend.

Speaker 23 (38:07):
The new King's Princess, I think it's a joke.

Speaker 12 (38:10):
I looked at the people.

Speaker 15 (38:11):
They're not representative of this country. And I looked at
all the brand new science. I guess it was paid
for by Sous and other radical left lunatics.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
It looks like it was.

Speaker 12 (38:21):
We're checking it out.

Speaker 15 (38:23):
The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and.

Speaker 12 (38:27):
The people who are whaked out. When you look at.

Speaker 15 (38:29):
Those people, those are not representative of the people of
our country.

Speaker 28 (38:34):
I'm not a king.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
I'm not a king.

Speaker 15 (38:37):
I work my ass off to make our country great.
That's all it is.

Speaker 21 (38:41):
I'm not a king at all.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
He's not a king. He's not a king at all.
He's not I just want to remind everybody that he's
not a king. And he's also not on the ballot
next year, but he's absolutely making sure that he's kind
of on the ballot.

Speaker 31 (38:56):
Don't Trump won't be on the ballot again the midgrom years.
That can't run for president again under the constitution. But
what he does and keeping himself front center has made
him a polarizing figure, and perhaps the best unity that
Democrats can bring is around opposition to.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Him, and that's all they have. There's no how do
we fix this system, There's no how do we do this.
It's just let's let's let's fight Trump at all costs,
which really, what is that getting you. It's getting you
virtually nothing. First of all, the people that are leading
the charge are idiots, all right, Schumer, weak old. You know,

(39:36):
you go over there and you look at our king
Jeffries just he's just, he's in, doesn't do anything. There's
opportunities here if you're the Democrats. But the beauty of
the Republican situation is just stay quiet. The Democrats will
run it into the ground. Number one thing, the number

(39:56):
one thing that people care about afford a Beletti.

Speaker 32 (39:59):
We go back to affordability, and it's affordability and homes affordability,
whether you can pay your groceries, whether you can pay
your rent, whether you can fill up the gas tank,
or whether people are having to fill it up halfway
because they just don't have the money enough money to
fill it up the entire way. Just so, that affordability issue,

(40:22):
which is driving the New York mayor's race, is going
to be driving a lot of other races over the
next year and a half.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Absolutely, it's affordability number one thing. It's always about the economy,
stupid and quite frankly, the economy is not rocking and rolling.
It's not sitting in a great place. It's not becoming
something where you're like, oh, it's tearing off. No matter
how much Trump comes out and says it's the greatest
economy in the history of mankinds have been anything better
than the economy, it's not that being said. Is the

(40:51):
economy okay, Yeah, it's okay. Is it better in some
areas than other areas, Yes, yes, that's true. But there
are certain issues that are out there right now. There's
no doubt about that.

Speaker 15 (41:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 33 (41:07):
I mean, the biggest question I keep getting asked Joe
about America right now is what is happening with the
American economy. And you see the stock market booming driven
by AI, but there are clearly signs and I think
some of what you saw on the streets with seven
million people turning out are the signs that things are
not great, That there are cracks in the American economy,

(41:30):
the affordability issue, farmers can't sell their soyerbans, the tariffs
are starting to bite, on businesses, on small businesses, and
on consumers. People who are growing citrus are worried about
whether they're going to have enough workers to collect their
crops over the course of the winter. And you know,
you take a whole range of issues. Rents are too

(41:51):
high for people. Young people are not able to get jobs.
The unemployment number is ticking up. The inflation number is
okay but not great. Both is less than it would
have been.

Speaker 23 (42:02):
There are a whole range.

Speaker 33 (42:03):
Of issues on which the American economy looks fragile. Whatever
the stock market is saying, and that is what people
are feeling. You had them turn out for democracy here, Sam,
But I think there are other issues that people are
concerned about too across the country. And this question of
affordability is something that Democrats are also right trying to

(42:23):
latch onto ahead of the midterm elections.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
But they have no answers. They have no answers because
they're Democrats. Their answer when it comes to this administration
is simple, he's awful. The Orange guy's bad, He's the devil.
Nothing else. You have stuff in front of you that
you could run with, but nothing else. You have stuff

(42:47):
with you that you could actually take hold of but
you don't because it's just easier to go. This guy's
an idiot, he's evil, he's bad. He wants to put
a chastity belt on all women. He wants to make
sure you can say anything and control your thoughts. And
it just it's so hilarious to watch them flail when

(43:08):
it's in front of them. And also part of that
has to be the fact that you've got a group
of people that you know are old saying is you
fight like lions, but you're led by donkeys. There are donkeys.
They don't know how to charge up an audience. They

(43:28):
don't know how to actually talk about the things that
matter to the average person. We can sit here and
talk about Israel, and we can sit here and talk
about what's going on in the Ukraine, and we can
sit here and talk about a lot of different things.
The reality is you don't have that person, though, that

(43:49):
can talk about the things that matter here in a
way that will bring them together with the strategy that
is different than he's the worst. Because he's the worst
isn't a strategy. You're just pointing out something you believe
he's mean, Okay, and that's it. That's not much of

(44:14):
a strategy. That's like having a strategy in a basketball game.
They're tall, and I just want to point that out.
They're tall, So they're tall. Okay, thanks coach three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Sheedminton show. Sure
acts your Insta, YouTube and more still following along the

(44:36):
hilarity And I know it shouldn't be funny, but it is.
Of what took place yesterday in France. They stole stuff
from the loof. Now they did not get that painting,
but they did steal some stuff.

Speaker 34 (44:49):
Please say. The Moss robbers drove up to the side
of the museum in a truck mounted with a ladder
described as a mobile freight elevator, please say. The lift
was extended up to a second floor window, which the
thieves broke open using an angle grinder, a handheld power
tool used for metalwork. From there, they were alleged to
threatened security guards before ransacking the Apollo Gallery, where Napoleon

(45:10):
the Thirds Crown jewels were on display. Police say they
tried to set fire to the lift they used before
they fled. The raid lasted all of seven minutes before
they escaped on scooters.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, seven minutes escaped on scooters. The So if you
were going to value everything the regent diamond sixty to
seventy million, four crowned regalia which they've which fell was
three to four hundred million in total, all of this

(45:42):
five hundred to a billion dollars, here's the issue. You
can't sell it. You can't. Now, you can cut things down, okay,
So those are some of the things you can do.
You can go, you can and chop them down to smaller,
easier to move pieces. But as far as selling them

(46:04):
for what it is that you would want to sell
them for, which is the crown jewels for Napoleon, you
just can't do it on the open markets. Impossible. You
could recut them, dismantle the pieces, even melt some of
the precious metal down, but then then the worth of
it's gone. You just stole stuff. You might as well
just went robbed a bunch of diamonds somewhere. Who are

(46:28):
you going to sell it to? So one of them
may have had it accomplice inside, and we've actually got
some interrogation tape of the potential of one of these
people being questioned by one of their great detectives.

Speaker 35 (46:47):
What is your name, missus Loveliver, I would take us
should guess.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
That the other house, given.

Speaker 36 (46:55):
I have been with Professor's husband then for thirty years.

Speaker 35 (47:00):
For your exaggerated hysteria over a simple blemish on the turnotove.
Whatever has happened to the pianet can easily be wrapped
out of that.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
My hand is on fire.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
I don't know if the inspector Carusseau will get it done.
They they took a cherry picker. They went up and
cut little areas, then smashed the glass and ran away
with all the stuff, then got on scooters and left.
There are thirteen hundred security guards that work at the louver,
and these guys got away.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
atch Had Benson Show, is your Ax, your Insta YouTube
and more coming up Venezuela, Colombia. It's all happening. Talk
a little bit about that, among other things. But first,
Birch Gold. Why gold, because diversifying right now at a
time like this is super important. And this month Birch

Gold is celebrating veterans Dabut, offering an exclusive opportunity for
anyone seeking you invest in gold and honoring America's history

important at this time to think about the diversity, but

(48:23):
having a little something something as well with silver is
always nice. And check this out. Goals up for forty
percent and continuing to rise and get a weakening dollar.
Now's the time to think about converting an existing IRA
or four to one K to attack sheltered IRA and
physical gold on top of that A plus rated by
the Better Business Bureau. They're the people I trust. You
can also get gold to you physically. Birch does it all.

YouTube and more? Got some of your text messages. Venezuela, Colombia,
It's all happening. Plus, pickle Ball's dangerous candies get more expensive.

(49:31):
It's all happening. We've got your urban word of the
day and arguably the greatest game of baseball ever played
on Friday Night, Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (49:51):
First, Venezuela, We're sinking their boats.

Speaker 37 (49:54):
President Trump has justified using the military to kill suspected
drug smugglers by declaring that the US is in a
formal armed conflict, calling the drug cartel's unlawful combatants. Now,
one goal has been to pressure the government of Venezuela
and now Colombia.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Colombia. That's right, Columbia, kids, We're going after them.

Speaker 38 (50:12):
Next, Trump posting that Colombian President Gustavo Petro is doing
nothing to stop drug production, warning him to close up
the cartel's killing fields immediately, or the United States will
close them up for him, and it won't be done nicely.
The fiery message comes just hours after Petro accused the
US of killing an innocent fisherman during US strikes on

(50:34):
vessels in the Caribbean Sea.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Good, We're going after Columbia. Now, what's next, Peru, We're
coming for you.

Speaker 9 (50:40):
Oh.

Speaker 39 (50:41):
If they don't have a fight against drugs, they make drugs,
they refine drugs, they make cocaine, they have cocaine factories,
they have no fight against drugs.

Speaker 12 (50:50):
And I'm stopping all payments to Colombia.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
All right, So Colombia's get no more aid from US,
of which we were giving them quite a bit. And
then usaid cuts came, and then not so much.

Speaker 40 (51:01):
He had already cut most of the aid that the
United States provided to Colombia as part of the cuts
to USAID, but there were still a couple hundred million
dollars that was going to Colombia. The United States has
always considered it having good relations with Colombia. It saw
it as a strategic partner. In many ways.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
It's a weird place, Columbia. Let's be real, when it
comes to the drug world, it's always been what it is.
It has been the cocaine hub. That's why the venezuela
stuff is bizarre. And by the way, the venezuela stuff
isn't go anywhere. We're going in there for a lot
of reasons, mostly oil. The other is regime change, because
apparently that's a good thing. We're not good at it.

(51:39):
As why, I've told you over and over again. We've
done We did well with Germany, right, we did well
in Japan, but outside of that, we have struggled when
it comes to regime change.

Speaker 40 (51:50):
We now have eight navy ships in the region, a submarine,
some ten F thirty five fighter jets stationed in Puerto Rico.
And when I talked to military officials, say, look, we
are being told we have to do these exercises. We
are being told we've got to, you know, place our
assets down there. We just don't know why yet. We
haven't been given a specific mission.

Speaker 7 (52:10):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
It is just training right now, it's just trading. I
think the goal is scare Maduro enough that he flees
three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson shows your ex your Insta YouTube
and more right here on the Chad Benson Show. Now,
I don't know what that looks like as far as

(52:32):
the capture or him fleeing. I didn't know where he
would go that being said, we're going to do something.
I mean, Trump has been very vocal about it because
he wants to go in there, regime change, oil, all
of that stuff, despite what some people think. Let me
know what you think. Meanwhile, more from this weekend's big
Giant No Kings rally. Is that what was it a rally?

(52:55):
Was it a protest? Still just trying to figure that out.
We don't have any kings, we don't like to kings.
Still trying to figure again all of these things out
here because I saw a lot of it this weekend.
I was going to go out to one, but we're
in the midst of moving things around apartments and everything.
My wife's going away for a week because we have
mold in our place, so they're having to replace a

(53:15):
whole bunch of stuff. So I couldn't get out this weekend,
and I thought, I don't know if I want to
go see a bunch of people run around screaming and
yelling and arguing and fighting, which I saw a lot
of people running around flipping each other off, and I thought, oh.

Speaker 10 (53:29):
God, we've got to fight for our constitution and we
got to fight for American democracy.

Speaker 11 (53:34):

Speaker 12 (53:39):

Speaker 6 (53:42):
It's a democracy, right. We don't need a kid.

Speaker 8 (53:47):
to be with other people. And you can get sucked
down a hole and be scared, but we don't have
to be.

Speaker 7 (53:57):
We don't like what's happening, and we need to do something.
And if this is that's all I can do, this
is all I can do. I have to do something.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
But on something you can do.

Speaker 13 (54:04):
You call your representatives, just be active and use your voice.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Use it or lose it before the King takes it
away from you. If you see the show Gret the podcast,
this is the Chad Benson Show, The.

Speaker 41 (54:20):
Chat Benson Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Life is expensive. Holidays coming up. We got Halloween, which
is not a holiday but kind of a holiday. You
know how much we love it around here. It's coming
up fast, and it's expensive and getting more expensive, and
it's not just about the candy.

Speaker 42 (54:59):
Enter if you dare, but buyer beware this Halloween, the
spookiest thing lurking in the grocery store might just be
the price tag. From costumes to candy, the average household
is expected to shell out nearly three hundred dollars this Halloween.

Speaker 43 (55:13):
Everybody talks about the tariffs. They are having an impact. Obviously,
just about everything we're buying went up fifteen percent price.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
That's a hell of a jump. Can we all agree
on that fifteen percent? Take a byte out of your
Halloween and it's not even a good bite.

Speaker 42 (55:29):
Choppers are expected to spend three point nine billion dollars
on the Halloween tree. A recent analysis finds cocoa prices
have more than doubled since early twenty twenty four because
of extreme weather in West Africa.

Speaker 43 (55:41):
These are over thirty cents for each bar, So if
you're going to put them out, you're spending thirty cents each.
This is five ninety nine, went up fifty cents, and
then you've throw the tariffs on top of it. So
you got to double whaem me on chocolate this year?

Speaker 42 (55:54):
What about an alternative?

Speaker 43 (55:55):
Yeah, you know, gummy bears are really hot. These are
starbursts right here, like eighteen cents each, so it could
be almost half the price pennies.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Remember the person, we give you pennies or raisins. I
don't want raisins. Those are stupid. I don't like you know,
coming back with eggs later, Give candy and make it good.
All right, comes around once a year. We're not asking
for you to do with a whole bunch. All we're
asking for you is put candy out so we can
eat it at home the way it should be, all
in one go.

Speaker 42 (56:25):
Have you seen any evidence of shrinkflation?

Speaker 43 (56:29):
You're seeing a lot of the big consumer package good
companies are taking an ounce or two out of.

Speaker 42 (56:35):
Their packaging, while treats might be carving into your budget.
Jack o lanterns won't. What have you seen with pumpkin prices?

Speaker 43 (56:43):
Well, they're the same as last year. We're eight ninety
nine three for twenty four dollars. Now the question comes in,
even though we didn't raise the price, will people be
spending twenty four dollars rather than just buying one pumpkin
for their front porch?

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Now that's a good question. I We're going to go
this weekend and get several because we have fun. It's
one of our big things we'd like to do. We
don't do a lot when it comes to, you know,
spend a bunch on other stuff. We love our holidays,
especially the scary time of year. So Charlie and I
are super excited about this, but I know it's more expensive.
Everything is more expensive talking about the beginning of the hour.

(57:20):
Affordability is huge, and that includes the holidays.

Speaker 42 (57:24):
But that's not all you need for Halloween, especially if
you're throwing a party.

Speaker 43 (57:28):
You look at a guy like this, I don't know
how much you know you might want.

Speaker 42 (57:33):
Stu says most decorations come from Asia and could be
hit with a tariff depending on when the store is
stocked up.

Speaker 43 (57:39):
You know, a lot of this stuff's probably around fifteen
to twenty dollars. You could spend hundreds of dollars decorating
your house. With the economy the way it is right now,
are people going to want to spend two hundred dollars
or maybe one fifty this year?

Speaker 2 (57:53):
That's a good question. Now. I know that a lot
of stuff that came from China. The if I'm correct,
the Spirit store, they kind of stalked up throughout the year.
Doesn't mean it's not more expensive because we were there
a couple of weeks ago. It is expensive. You know,
we always talk about how do how does the average
person do it? It's it's tough and you're making serious decisions,

(58:17):
you know, Rob, Peter, pay Paul, those kind of things.
As we've talked about, people are deciding, you know, okay,
which thing can I delay? Which thing can I pay
a portion of now and then maybe pay the other
portion in three weeks. So it's not that you're delaying it,
you're paying some. But I mean that's the decisions that

(58:40):
matter to the average American, which is the dollars and
bills in the affordability of life. And it includes something
like Halloween. Because you don't want to disappoint your kids,
you don't let me know what you think. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three atch head Benson
shows your ex your Insta, YouTube and more. We're in
the midst of a government shutdown. Doesn't mean, though, that
we're not paying attention to health, including your weight. Because

(59:02):
there's a new way that they're doing what used to
be BMI. They're adding some stuff to it and they're
trying to craft the new thing, and we'll guess what
we're fatties.

Speaker 44 (59:13):
Back in January, a group of health professionals pushed to
update the definition of obese, and they recommended using including
factors like weight to or waste to hip ratio in
addition to body mass index or BMI. And now a
new study finds that under that definition, nearly seventy percent
of US adults would be considered obese. One of the

(59:34):
authors of that study, doctor Lindsay Foreman, says, expanding the
definition here could encourage people to address unhealthy behaviors even
if they have an average body mass index.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
And we're not quite sure what the average is, because
it's kind of odd the way she just blamed in
this doctor form and she specializes in stuff like this,
and she, you know, she's trying to explain that you
can be thin but also unhealthy, and you could look
a little bit bigger but be my healthier.

Speaker 45 (01:00:00):
And yeah, the obesity definition, you know, we're trying to
capture people who are at increased risk of health complications
related to excess fat, and traditionally we've relied on BMI alone,
which is basically weight relative to height but that can
be very inaccurate. It doesn't necessarily capture people's body composition

(01:00:22):
or fat distribution. Someone that's very muscular can have high
BMI but not necessarily have excess fat. And conversely, someone
who can be thin can have a lot of excess
fat and they're abdomen and be kind of inappropriately considered healthy, which.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Is something I've said for years. If you are a
weightlifter and you're six foot and according to them, you
know your two hundred and twenty five pounds when you
should be one seventy five, but you have five percent
body fat. In theory though, because it's a number that
they're looking at, they're not looking at the person you
are considered obese, where you could be five ten and

(01:01:00):
one hundred and seventy pounds and that's all in your
gut and you would be considered thin. So that was
always a weird thing. But let's be real, how many
five foot ten you know one hundred and seventy pounders
with that comparatively to the guys who are built like
houses and ripped in yokes, Probably not many. So they're
trying to do something different, which I appreciate.

Speaker 45 (01:01:22):
And so with this new classification that's taking into consideration
antipometric measurements things like waste circumference, waste to hip ratio,
waste to height ratio, and trying to get at not
only people that have a high BMI, but also people
that could have a normal BMI but have increased abdominal fat.
We looked at in our study understanding not only the

(01:01:44):
change in prevalence, but also the fact that whether this
antipometric only obesity is an appropriate classification. And we've shown
that people with antipometric only obesity do have increased health risks.
So they do have overtime and increase risk of developing diabetes,
vascular disease, mortality, and furthermore, they also have an increased

(01:02:04):
risk of obesity related complications like hypertension, sleep, ACNA.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
So let me break that down for you. You can
look thin but still be unfit right out a pooch,
and other people can look a little poochy but be fitter,
and both of you could be susceptible. We all are
at some point in time specials. You get older to
certain things, especially stuff like when it comes related to weight,
and it's not a shock that we're fat. Let's just

(01:02:32):
it's not Let's be honest, it's not a shock. I
think the best you know tell you what's the best
scale to get. I'm all the mirror because it's also
the thing that will tell you the truth.

Speaker 45 (01:02:42):
So, now that we've had this anthropometric only obesity definition,
this can really help people be appropriately classified and allow
them to you know, to receive the appropriate help and
so potentially intensifying their lifestyle interventions, improving their diet, increasing
physical activity. Also, their physician can more closely monitor for

(01:03:04):
complications of obesity such as hypertension, sleep out, mea, diabetes,
and so really treating them appropriately rather than sort of
dismissing that they have a normal BMI and therefore don't
have health risks.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
They do. We all can we know that when it
comes to obesity, we need to be honest. We all
could could lose a little. Some of us could lose
a lot three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at she had Benson shows your ex,

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
If you like talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
It is that time of the program where we decipher
words things that kids say that we sit there and go,
what are you talking about? Last week? I got a
lot of you talking about the six seven because it's
such a crazy thing. Today though, today's a bit of
a throwback urban word. Some of you may understand it,
you may have heard it. Others of you maybe not

(01:05:24):
so much. So we'll walk you through what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you. It's called the urban word
of the day. You're right, bests heard of that? Better
than the best? Great, it's a good one. It's just
a regular word goat, goat, greatest of all time, the goat,

(01:06:00):
Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky. Dare I say a guy that
is currently playing baseball is unlike anything we have ever seen?
Show Hey, o Tommy, there is no doubt he is
the goats of baseball. Goat is your urban word of
the day.

Speaker 14 (01:06:20):
That was the urban word of the.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Day, now you know. And if you don't believe me,
Friday night, Game four dollars doyers in the Milwaukee Brewers show, Hey, Otani,
the best hitter in baseball, maybe the best pitcher in baseball.
He walked to no earned runs, struck out ten, struck

(01:06:45):
out the side by the way to start the game.
And let's just listen to his night want to start
Game four of the LCS.

Speaker 18 (01:06:55):
There goes O Toddy show, Hey, I'm lighting up the
highlights already.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Oh my goodness, shy oh Toddy, whoa.

Speaker 9 (01:07:11):
Up and over the roof?

Speaker 30 (01:07:14):
Oh Tony Toddy, Oh Tony, Oh Tony has done it again.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
This card home run, that's right, three home runs on
top of the fact that he also won the game
in their five to one win just puts him into
the World Series again. It was insane. Insane. He is

(01:07:42):
the best baseball player I have ever seen, or we've
ever seen. There's never been anything like this. Yes, Babe
Ruth pitched, but not the way this guy pitches. Babe
Ruth hit at a time when you didn't hit. This
guy's hitting one hundred mile an hour fastballs to the
opposite field. And that second home run by the way

(01:08:04):
left Dodger Stadium, Oh yeah, it left Dodger Stadium. Absolutely insane.
He is the goat. In my mind, he is the goat.
It is hard to see anybody who even compares to
him in baseball. Just absolutely insane. Speaking of insane. On Friday,

(01:08:30):
we got the news he's been released. Wait what they released?
Wait what they released him?

Speaker 46 (01:08:37):
Santos writing, I hold no anger toward anyone, not even
my critics. I move forward with humility, with gratitude, and
with peace in my heart. The commutation came days after
Santos wrote an open letter to Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
That's right, George Santos freed from prison. How'd your kids,
how'd your wives? How'd your stuff? George Santos is free.

Speaker 40 (01:09:01):
Many of the people who he defrauded, talking about the
donors in our district, they're embarrassed that they gave him money.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Now, I want to say this, I don't feel bad
in this situation. Nobody did the research but a small
town local paper we touched on a little bit earlier.
This is the kind of paper where you're out there
writing the report. You know, you're digging and you're doing
some questioning, but then you also have to go make

(01:09:31):
some sales. I mean, we're not talking about the New
York Times. Everybody ignored this guy, so he ran with it.
I mean, the boost enough to say that all the
stuff that he said that was just outrageous. Thinking he
wasn't gonna get away with it. He thought, well, I'm
going to the place where everybody lies for a living.
You gave money, and you did no research. Right, Google's free.

(01:09:56):
You didn't think, okay, who is this guy? And there
may be only so much you could find out, but
you I could have found out a little bit more.

Speaker 47 (01:10:01):
Santo says he is ready to work on prison reform
now after being quote degraded behind bars, but he won't
be able to hold office again.

Speaker 21 (01:10:10):
Trump did not pardon him, but rather cleared.

Speaker 47 (01:10:12):
His prison sentence and freedom from having to pay any
restitution or fines.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
So they took two hundred and two thousand dollars that
was in the fund. They his sentencing, which was a
little over the top, was three hundred and some thousand dollars.
And so he recognizes he's got a second chance. But
I go back to once again, people didn't do their homework.

(01:10:42):
The powers that be didn't do their homework, and yes,
politicians will lie. This guy told all kinds of crazy stories,
and nobody did their due diligence. Nobody did. It was
a local newspaper and they were doing their due diligence
talking about that, and nobody seemed to care. And if

(01:11:02):
you want to know who the local newspaper was, it
was the Ready for the north Shore Leader, which is
a weekly paper less than twenty thousand circulated every week.
So it's one of those things where you you get
the best coopons. And in between the coupons and the

(01:11:23):
little league baseball team and what they're doing, there was
this story about this guy who had said, all commun
let's go over some of his greatest say it, shall we.
He was a multimillionaire. Okay, he owned mansions, but he

(01:11:45):
didn't His volleyball career was huge, except for it wasn't.
I mean, he had all kinds of he was an astronaut,
he said all kinds of crazy stuff, and still nobody
paid attention until he won, and then everybody's like, hey,
this paper's been reporting on it for a while. Three two, three, five,

still going to try to get to more in the
No Kings. We got Chure what's trending as well, a
lot of things trending out there, the Scary movie Countdown

(01:12:30):
number ten. Plus we got government shutdown, some more on Venezuela,
some more on Colombia, some more on the healthcare side
of the world and how we can go about fixing
that if we're serious about it, because a lot of
people aren't serious about it. They like talking about it,
as we know in government. Plus, we'll have a bunch

(01:12:51):
of other stuff that will surprise us, because that's what
we do here. If you miss you the show Sham
when you make sure you're with the podcast tonight, we're
gonna be live on YouTube. Have a chance to check
us out right around seven o'clock Eastern. This is the
Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
When we get to the note kings, something's happening in Texas,
very important, very important. Early voting has started. But one
of the things that is going on is going to
be watched nationally and it has to do with dementia.
Could they be onto something in Texas that others will
pay attention to, especially if it works?

Speaker 16 (01:13:53):
This issue right, it is far beyond the state of Texas,
And so what Prop fourteen does is it what created
the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, which, by way,
could essentially create some sort of blueprint for the rest
of the country to follow. So Texas first, others watch
and see how that would work.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
More specifically, talking.

Speaker 16 (01:14:13):
About Prop fourteen, it is a ten year, three billion
dollar investment in studying Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurological diseases. Now,
if it passes, public health professionals believe Texas could set
a precedent for state funded research at a time when
dementia diagnosis arising nationwide.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
That is massive, the amount of money, the amount of
money that we spend every year between stuff that we
should be trying to figure out how we prevent and
or keep people healthier longer. That includes weight and all
that kind of stuff, but also the dementia thing. It
is my grandfather at Huntington's. It is a form of dementia, Alzheimer's.

(01:14:57):
It is awful. We are seeing the right and yes,
is it some of us living longer? Yeah, but we're
starting to see it earlier and earlier in people. And
what can we do as they're preventive care, there's something
that we can do that would potentially reverse and or
slow this down.

Speaker 16 (01:15:13):
Right now, more than six million Americans are actually living
with Alzheimer's and that number expected to double by twenty fifty.
Texas ranks third in the nation for cases, but experts say,
you know, every state bases the same problem, the same
trend as.

Speaker 21 (01:15:28):
Baby Boover's age.

Speaker 16 (01:15:30):
This initiative could help draw top neurological researchers back to
the US and keep more of that innovation right here
at home. Meantime, early voting it begins today, runs through
October thirty first, with election day actually set for November fourth. Now,
if voters actually approve Prop fourteen, the new institute would
would launch December first. It will happen quickly, and health

(01:15:52):
leaders say other states, even Congress will be watching closely
to see, you know, whether this move here in Texas
becomes a national model, which is huge.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
I mean again, you can't overstate the importance of this.
And every human being who's going to live a decent
lifetime is going to run into this, whether with their
family members. I mean nay. I've yet to find a
human being that this doesn't touch in some way, shape
or form. And it's interesting because the guy here from

(01:16:26):
News Nation, the way he presents this part of it
will make you chuckle a little bit.

Speaker 16 (01:16:32):
Alzheimer's, the dementia care already cost the US hundreds of
billions of dollars each year.

Speaker 12 (01:16:37):
It impacts.

Speaker 16 (01:16:40):
A lot of people, even you know, my own family members.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
At least one person.

Speaker 16 (01:16:44):
I'm not gonna put her on blast, but you know,
she suffers from dementia. So something like this touches a
lot of people starting here in Texas, though you could
figure out how to tackle it on a different scale.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
I don't really what do you say. I don't want
to put her on blast, but alas she doesn't know
who she is, so it doesn't matter. And I bring
this up because this is another one of those things.
We talk about all the other stuff that's going on,
but when you think about the stuff that affects our lives,
forward ability, all these healthcare, these kind of things, this
is one of those things, and it's going to be interesting.

(01:17:15):
For sure. It's going to be very interesting to see
how this goes because it is to me, it's important
and I think especially as baby boomers get older, mom
and Dad start to retire, we're going to see more
and more of this. And we have a family member,
God bless him, I love him who was just diagnosed
and he's doing everything in his power to see how
long he could stretch it. He's going through. He's got

(01:17:38):
the right to try, so he's trying all kinds of things.
And to see Texas take the lead, I think it's awesome. Dude.
This is one of those things where very nonpartisan it
should be because this is going to affect everybody absolutely.
Speaking of nonpartisan, I think there was some sort of
thing that happened this weekend, some sort of no Kings

(01:17:59):
thing that's pretty not partisan from what I understand, right,
that was all like, hey, we're here, we just want
to make sure everybody knows no Kings.

Speaker 4 (01:18:05):
So this is your birthday. So you came out on
your birthday you thought it was important?

Speaker 9 (01:18:09):
Tell me why?

Speaker 5 (01:18:09):
Absolutely? Because I have two little boys who deserve a
right future of freedom and democracy.

Speaker 16 (01:18:16):
And.

Speaker 5 (01:18:17):
This is a nightmare that I'm living in and I'm
here to make a difference and to be loud, I'm proud,
and there's no other way I'd want to celebrate my
birthday with back there and my best friend fighting for
our country.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
Okay, So for a birthday President, what do you hope happens?

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
You know, you wake up tomorrow morning.

Speaker 5 (01:18:37):
I hope that I see the obituary that we're all
waiting for tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (01:18:40):
That's what I hope for.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
We're shouldn't that President Trumpe is dead?

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (01:18:47):
Absolutely, absolutely, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Absolutely, that's a nice thing to say. I'm glad you're
taking your kids that, but I mean, just just the
insanity of that that right, there shows you everything you
need to know about how on the hand people are
and why the Left continues to fail because they live
in a world of emotion. They're not living in a
world of reality. And because of that, you're gonna get
what you get, which is insanity. Who are you gonna
kill a Nazis?

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
Who do you mine is a Nazi?

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
What do you mean? It's in this sin this context?

Speaker 7 (01:19:17):
Who's a Nazi?

Speaker 8 (01:19:19):
So you're gonna kill seven Miller?

Speaker 28 (01:19:21):
I had a chance you. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
If i'd someone, i'd.

Speaker 8 (01:19:23):
Say on camera, grow.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Just what I could do? How about one more? How
about some normal people? Do we got some of those
normal people? Those were people are living into motion? Anybody normal.

Speaker 10 (01:19:31):
We've got to fight for our constitution and we gotta
fight for American democracy.

Speaker 11 (01:19:36):

Speaker 12 (01:19:40):

Speaker 6 (01:19:44):
It's a democracy, right. We don't need a kill.

Speaker 8 (01:19:49):
to be with other people. You can get sucked down
a hole and be scared, but we don't have to be.

Speaker 7 (01:19:59):
We don't like what's happening, and we need to do
something and if this is all I can do, this
is all I can do. I have to do something.

Speaker 13 (01:20:05):
But on something you can do. You call your representatives.
Just be active and use your voice.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
No problem with that, That's exactly what you're supposed to do.
Use your voice, call your representative. Don't be an a hole,
and don't wish death upon the powers that be. They're
not kings, all right? Do they think themselves in certain
situations a little high and mighty. Yeah, I'm not gonna
eid to you. There are people inside of the administration
not a fan of Do I think that Trump is

(01:20:34):
evil and he's a king? No, I think he's a
human being who is flawed. But I also think he
wants the best for America and he likes the best
for himself too. Let's not pretend that he doesn't. But
the reality of well, we got to get rid of
these people because they're kings and we must wish them death.
That is that is based in emotion, and it is
why you continue to fail over and over again. Because

(01:20:58):
the extreme left has bounced away from the Democrat Party,
and the Democrat Party is being run by people who
are taking advantage of the weakness of the leadership of
the Democrats.

Speaker 48 (01:21:11):
What you're seeing is the tension in the Democratic Party
between the far left and the quote unquote mainstream. And
that's an important dynamic.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
Joe, because that's the future of.

Speaker 48 (01:21:28):
The Democratic Party, and this extreme left is taking the
Democratic Party out of the mainstream.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
And we see it over and over again. As goes
back to what we've said for quite a while, the
left has lost itself. The right is run by MAGA.
But see what you have as the extremes on both ends.
The difference is though MAGA lives in a world of
more common sense among especially cultural issues, than the left does.
Both of them fail in many ways, I think when

(01:22:02):
it comes to a lot of what goes on with
the average person, what they're thinking, and this is why
we have the exhaust majority. This is who we are.
This is the frustration I feel on a daily basis.
But the left left the Democratic reservation a long time ago,
and they've gone so far left, they're so far out

(01:22:23):
there that the average Democrat can't comprehend what the hell
they're talking about. And you're never going to win the center,
which is massive, and the center doesn't mean you don't
choose the side the center just means, hey, I'm not
tied to both sides. Each argument, each issue I will

(01:22:44):
take as it comes to me. So I found you know,
once again you had Fetterman last week. Several others have
come out and say they're just all wackadoos and they're
all whack a doos because why because they live in
a world of extremists them and you live in a
world of emotion and they live in a world of activism,

(01:23:06):
and you can't run a nation on emotions like that
just doesn't work. Speaking of emotions, if you guys haven't heard,
the emotions are running high in France because there has.

Speaker 49 (01:23:16):
Been an issue at the Louver, the louver where the
Simona Liso as the louver where they Napoleon's treasures and
he's royal.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
You are der ge, please say.

Speaker 34 (01:23:28):
The mass robbers drove up to the side of the
museum in a truck mounted with a ladder described as
a mobile freight elevator. Police say the lift was extended
up to a second floor window, which the thieves broke
open using an angle grinder, a handheld power tool used
from metalwork. From there, they are alleged to have threatened
security guards before ransacking the Apollo Gallery when Napoleon the

(01:23:49):
thirds Crown jewels were on display. Police say they tried
to set fire to the lift they used before they fled.
The raid lasted all of seven minutes before they escaped
on scooters.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
So what I have seen and been told is nothing
sophisticated about it. Absolutely though professional hit thirteen hundred security
guards and they still managed to do this, So not sophisticated,
but planned out well. Took a cherry picker, up ran in,

(01:24:21):
smashed and grab used some grinders, took the stuff, and
of course, as you do, you try to set fire
to your getaway van and then take off in scooters,
which didn't go well. They didn't really torch the van
the way they thought they were going to torch the van.
So you got that going for you. By the way,
the amount for the jewels, I will give you the

(01:24:43):
amount according to if they were to get everything and
they failed with the full crown regalia, I guess that
would have been big, but it's still five hundred million plus.
You just have nowhere to go with those things. What
are you gonna do with them? Tell me, who's going
to want something that hot? Unless you recut them down,
and at that point in time they take away some
of the luster and some of the things that really

(01:25:06):
made these things what they are. So we'll see, all right, Chapter,
If you guys know what Chapter is, I'm working them
for a while. But let me tell you someth They're incredible.
They're going to help you when it comes to Medicare,
and many people out there have gotten frustrated with healthcare.
Medicare plans. You get one, you like, next thing, you know,
what's gone? What are you going to do? Well, this
is where Chapter comes in. They're amazing. They do not

(01:25:26):
work for the government. They don't work for Medicare agents.
Medicare agents. What do they want to do? Stick you
in some that is going to give them the most
commissioned Not a shocker right there. What do they do?
Chapter is awesome. They work for you. On average, eleven
hundred dollars a year is saved by seniors who work
with Chapter. It's absolutely freez not gonna cost you anything
but a little bit of time, No gimmick, no pressure,

(01:25:47):
is just honest advice from the experts who know Medicare
inside and out. So this is what you do. Pick
up your phone. You dial pound two fifty, say keyword
medicare plan. It's that simple. Medicare is too important. Don't
risk it. Work with the partners. I trust chapter to
I'll pound two fifty and say medicare plan. That's pound
two fifty, say medicare plan for chapter All right, coming up,

The Louver. There was a robbery at the Louver.

Speaker 17 (01:29:33):
The Louver closed for the rest of the day, evacuating
visitors sensing an emergency.

Speaker 2 (01:29:38):
As police rushed in.

Speaker 7 (01:29:39):
We were just ready to go in to see them
on a Lisa.

Speaker 17 (01:29:42):
Americans Jim and Joan Carpenter were there.

Speaker 8 (01:29:45):
When they swept us out of the gallery.

Speaker 51 (01:29:48):
We didn't realize the whole museum was being evacuated.

Speaker 17 (01:29:50):
The concern now, what those thieves might do next with
the priceless jewels.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
Nothing. What are you going to be able to do
with those Nothing? There's what you could do with them.
You could break them up into bits and pieces and
sell them off. But these guys were quick and then
they escaped the only way you can escape on scooters.

Speaker 17 (01:30:10):
Authorities say the men taking nine pieces in all, priceless items,
including sets of sapphire and emerald necklaces and earrings, elaborate
diamond brooches, to diadems, and Napoleon's wife, Empress Eugenie's diamond
encrusted golden crown nearly two hundred years old, which prosecutors
say was recovered at the scene, reportedly damaged and left

(01:30:30):
behind as the thieves made their escape on waiting scooters.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
But what can you do with those? You can't sell
them as is too hot. Nobody wants that. If you
have something like that you want to be able to
display it, You're not going to be able to display it.
So you'd have to break it up the bits and pieces,
and you're gonna get pennies on the dollar. Very interesting.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Jad Benson Shows your Extra insta Happy Monday.

Speaker 14 (01:30:56):
It's Jad Benson Jet Fun, Chad Bent Show, The.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Trump taking on all of South America, seeking their boats
one by one.

Speaker 52 (01:31:26):
The US killing three men Friday in a strike in
the Caribbean, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth alleging without evidence, they
were affiliated with a Colombian insurgency group, one of seven
deadly strikes in recent weeks, all part of the president's
campaign against alleged drug cartels.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
So what cartels?

Speaker 9 (01:31:43):
Are they.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
We're not quite sure exactly what these are. Trende Arawa,
which is not really a cartel that you would think
of as a drug cartel. We sunk some boats, killed
some folks, there's a couple of survivors. We're going to
repatriot him. And now we're fighting with Columbia.

Speaker 52 (01:32:01):
Trump posting the Colombian president Gustavo Petro is doing nothing
to stop drug production, warning him to close up the
cartel's killing fields immediately or the United States will close
them up for him, and it won't be done nicely.
Trump's threat coming just hours after Petro accused the US
of killing an innocent fisherman during a strike last month

(01:32:21):
in the Caribbean.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
So now Colombia, they're on our radar, which if we're
going to go after drugs and you're really that worried
about it cocaine, which is minuscule in comparison to what
fentnyl and the opioid crisis is, but still at least
you're coming after a producer comparatively to Venezuela, where you
just want to oust him and let's see what kind

(01:32:44):
of oil we can get. But I digress. We're coming
after them hardcore, because yes, Colombia, Ah, they don't have a.

Speaker 39 (01:32:52):
Fight against drugs. They make drugs, they refined drugs, they
make cocaine, they have cocaine factories.

Speaker 15 (01:32:59):
They have no fight against And I'm stopping all payments
to Columbia.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
So the stopping of payments somewhat has happened. We still
give them money again. Why do we give everybody so
much damn money. It's always a curiosity thing for me,
especially when you consider the issues that we have here
in this country.

Speaker 40 (01:33:15):
He had already cut most of the aid that the
United States provided to Columbia as part of the cuts
to USAID, but there was still a couple hundred million
dollars that was going to Columbia. The United States has
always considered it having good relations with Columbia. It saw
it as a strategic partner in many ways.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
So at one time they were do The way that
the President of Columbia has come at the drug cartels
is much different than the things that have happened in
the past. He is advocated for legalizing this. He's tried
to pay farmers to basically move away from the coca

(01:33:55):
and grow other things. He's trying to do some things.
I mean, are they aren't they all somewhat in some
of these areas. Probably connected, Yes, I would assume. So
now how much he's connected, I couldn't tell you. And
you know, there hasn't been any real evidence here. There's
more evidence of the likes of Maduro being somewhat connected

(01:34:17):
to some groups than the president of Columbia. That being said,
we're in a world where so much of this comes
out of Colombia. If we're really talking about the drug
issue and the amounts, well, this is a place we
should have gone long before we ever went to Venezuela.
Venezuela's a different thing. We're going after They've got oil,
They've got plenty of it. They want to fight with

(01:34:38):
Guiana and take some of the oil there was. They
have light sweet crude, which is good. I mean, there
are all these things that play into it. That's much
different than let's just go after the cocaine thing. And
as far as cocaine, when I said it earlier, comparatively
to the likes of the opioide crisis were fentanyl, it
is nothing. It is nothing. Still, on average, maybe five
thousand people die year of an overdose from cocaine, which

(01:35:00):
it seems like a lot, but when you start rolling
into the sixty to one hundred thousand range, it is
minuscule because pentoml in the opioid crisis is so much larger.
And if we're serious about going after that, China is
a place that we had to fight this with even
stronger tariffs, but Trump's not going to do that. And

(01:35:20):
on the other side of it, you go after Mexico,
which we're not going to do either because they're our
largest trading partner. So there's that. Speaking of wars, we're
bad London again, this time Hamas. So over the weekend.
Now I've said this on numerous occasions. This was always
going to happen. This was always going to be an issue.

(01:35:41):
This was never going to be easy. Ever, it was
never going to be easy. Hamas isn't going to just
drop their weapons for nothing. They have nothing in place,
by the way, in Gaza when it comes to what
they're supposed to have. The help if you will, You've

(01:36:04):
got videos of several Israeli people seeming to help what
looks to be the militias that are fighting against Hamas.
So there's a lot going on here. But it was
never going to be simple. How can you think something's
gonna be this simple? And so many people thought, well,

(01:36:27):
he signed that it's not that simple. They don't even
have any kind of peacekeeping group ready to roll.

Speaker 48 (01:36:34):
Either way, it's going to be it's gonna be handled properly.

Speaker 12 (01:36:37):
It's going to be handled toughly, but properly.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Toughly but properly. Vice President of VANCE.

Speaker 18 (01:36:43):
I think it would be kind of absurd for the
President to say, well, Hamas is going to be disarmed
three or four days from now. We don't even have
the security infrastructure in place. We need to golf Arab states,
our allies don't have the security infrastructure in place yet
to confirm that Hamas's disarmed.

Speaker 2 (01:36:59):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what people expect and
the frustration that is out there from a lot of
people who seem to think this should be over. In
an hour people were killed in Gaza. That is something
that is awful. Another forty four plus people killed this weekend.
What exactly happened, well, he said, he said, they said

(01:37:22):
this that there is a long way to go. This
was always going to be a couple steps forward, a
couple steps back, a couple steps forward, a couple steps back.
This is a couple steps back. There will be a
peacekeeping group once you get all of the things in,
you know, the ducks in a row, if you will.
Then if things go sideways, well then there's the conversation

(01:37:44):
you have. But until that happens, this is what we have,
and it will be precarious and there will be certain
issues that will take place that are going to be
uncomfortable for some people. But the reality is this is
the beginning of something that is going to take years,
not weeks.

Speaker 23 (01:38:03):
Ooh ooh.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
Speaking of years and weeks, what the hell happened? Apps
across the board gone, disappeared? What the hell happened? What
they go? I don't know.

Speaker 36 (01:38:14):
According to the app that tracks problems like these, down Detector,
some of the sites affected were Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus,
which is owned by the parent company of ABC IT,
Lift McDonald's Snapchat, United Airlines, Venmo, and Verizon, and some
United and Delta customers even reported on social media that
they couldn't find their reservations online, they couldn't check in,
they couldn't drop their bags off roadblocks.

Speaker 2 (01:38:37):
I knew that was down title, Apple Music EA sports, Pinterest,
So many things were down? Why were they down?

Speaker 36 (01:38:47):
Aws said it was seeing significant signs of recovery, saying
most sites were back up and running, but we're still
seeing a few problems lingers.

Speaker 1 (01:38:56):
So it's not fully restored just.

Speaker 2 (01:38:57):
Yet, not just yet. It's be real convenience and this
was not convenient for anybody. And as you guys know,
we are a nation of convenience, and this was not convenient.
Over the weekend, well, Friday, George Santo Scott not pardoned,
but his sentence commuted by the President of the United States.
Some of the stuff that he did well.

Speaker 51 (01:39:19):
A congressional investigation found that he even used campaign funds
on Botox designer goods of the president commuting his sentence
when he announced it on social media, he provided some
sort of reasoning for this, saying, at least Santos had
the courage, conviction and intelligence to always vote Republican.

Speaker 2 (01:39:34):
Look, I think people should be held accountable. He's embarrassed,
he's a hot mess. Express I hope he gets his
life together. That being said, maybe was the book thrown
at him a little too hard. You could argue that,
But can I also argue that people out there did
no tue diligence on a guy who came up with

(01:39:55):
the craziest stories you could think of, like he's an astronaut,
professional volleyball player, came up with all kinds of stories,
and only a small newspaper called him out on it early.

Chad Benson, Joe, hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help.

Speaker 1 (01:41:39):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
All right, as we wrap up our show today, we're
on to number ten, our Scary Movie countdown. We're counted
down twenty to one. This is number ten. Number ten
involves several films ninety plus years ago. These films came
out and the reason at the time they were terrifying,

(01:42:05):
But the reason they're in the countdown not only they're terrifying,
the cultural impact of these movies, including the fact that, yes,
they played a huge role in saving a dying industry
which at the time, during the Great Depression, was nearly dead.
It was on life support. But these films came and
they saved Hollywood. Let's get to it.

Speaker 26 (01:42:28):
The time has come, so preparing yourself for a journey
of fear from the darkest corner of cinema, the most
bone chilling.

Speaker 53 (01:42:38):
Tales ever told. It's the countdown you've been waiting for.
Which movie will take the top spot?

Speaker 27 (01:42:49):
How about a fish tail so big because the Jaws
opened wide?

Speaker 26 (01:42:59):
Or the story a young innocent girl battling evil with
some Harry.

Speaker 9 (01:43:06):
Well, then let's introduce ourselves.

Speaker 23 (01:43:08):
I'm Damion Karas and I'm that Devil.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
You'll have to listen to find out. Are you ready?
Number ten? Number ten series of movies that came about
in the early thirties, Universal Monsters, and you're thinking, what
the universe? Yes, Dracula, the Invisible Man, the Mummy, Frankenstein,

(01:43:33):
even the Wolf Man. These movies did something huge the
time the Great Depression was going on. Theaters were empty.
The struggle was real. Many production companies were ready to
shut their doors. Then along came in nineteen thirty one,

(01:43:54):
A scary movie, A terrifying movie, Dracula. Interestingly enough, Dracula.
Everybody thinks it's bram Stoker that the movie is based on.
It is actually not bram Stoker's Dracula that the movie's
based on. It's based on the play What Yeah. Universal
bought the playwrights because they were cheaper. The novel was

(01:44:17):
too expensive at the time, and it turned Bella Legosi
into a star.

Speaker 25 (01:44:23):
I am Bracula, Dracula. I mention of the name brings
to mind things so evil, so fantastic, so degrading. You
wonder if it isn't all a dream, a nightmare Dracula.

Speaker 14 (01:44:39):
Oh what what they've done to Upha?

Speaker 23 (01:44:41):
Tell me?

Speaker 28 (01:44:43):
He came to me, He opened the same of his arm,
and he made me dream.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
The movie was huge. Bellagosi got paid five hundred dollars
a week. The film had no score, only the opening credit.
It's had any music, and they used the old sets
from the fan of the opera to save money. It
was such a hit, and the fear was so real
they offered shock blankets to faint prone viewers, and it

(01:45:12):
was banned in parts of China and England for being
too terrifying. Later on that year, another movie came out
from Universal, this time with a monster directed by James Whale,
starring Boris Karloff, who, by the way, wasn't even put
into the opening credits that movie, Frankenstein.

Speaker 9 (01:45:34):
Desire in Delie.

Speaker 23 (01:45:38):
It's a liar.

Speaker 25 (01:45:48):
When this dead hand moves. The monster created by a
man they called mad, is turned loose to strike terror
into the hearts of men, to shock women, and to
uncontrolled hysteria to prey upon the innocence of children. This

(01:46:12):
is the story you've heard about, talked about, the spine tingling,
blood chilling story that stunned your emotions.

Speaker 21 (01:46:19):
Frankenstein massive hit.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
The interesting thing about this movie was they had warning
speeches at the beginning of some of the showings. It
was banned in several places, including Kansas for blasphemy because
it showed a man playing god, and it funded Universal's
next wave of monster films in the nineteen thirty five

(01:46:46):
movie The Bride of Frankenstein is still regarded as arguably
the best horror sequel ever. Deeper emotion, deeper tone. It
was awesome. Following those two hits, in nineteen thirty one,
Bor's Karloff again jumped into the horror movie world, this
time The Mummy.

Speaker 29 (01:47:08):
Death Eternal punishment for anyone who opens this casket.

Speaker 9 (01:47:14):
The Mummy, is it dead or alive, human or inhuman,
You'll know, You'll see, you'll feel the awful, creeping, crawling
terror that stands your hair on end and brings a
scream to your lips. There's nothing on earth like the Mummy.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
The Mummy was inspired by the real life discovery of
King Tut's tomb. There was actually no book written about it,
so the script was entirely written from nothing. Took six
weeks to write. Karloff again makeup, eight hours to apply,
two hours remove. He could barely move his face. It

(01:47:59):
was another small hit. It was incredible. Boris Karloff went
on to have quite a career, and he and Belle
Lagosi were rivals for quite a long time. There was
lots of tension because Legosi thought he should be the
star of all the horror movies, but refused to do
any of the movies where there was no dialogue where

(01:48:20):
Boris Karloff was completely fine with it and was easy
to direct. These movies saved Hollywood at a time when
the Great Depression was roaring, if you will, after the twenties,
and people needed an escape, and this gave them an escape,
and it brought them to the theaters and it kept

(01:48:40):
them there. You're number ten scariest movie on our Horror Countdown,
