The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Ham bonding to the Department of Justice, you are now
on the clock when it comes to the Epstein files.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
The bill requires the Justice Department to post all its
Epstein investigative files online in a searchable way within thirty days.
The only exceptions are for information that might identify victims,
examples of child pornography, classified material, and anything that would
quote jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution. Top

(00:43):
Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer urges against the use of loopholes
or any other efforts to avoid complying with Congress's intent.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
There must be no funny business.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
No funny business, Chuck Schumer, very powerful there. They've put
safeguards in this that will make sure that whatever gets
out isn't going to be stopped because it could embarrass
somebody or whatever. Here's what people want, and I think

(01:17):
the whole thing about release the files. Want to note
the names. It's not the names, it's accountability that people want.
Right for the media and for the people who live
and die by politics. They want the other side to
be evil and bad and it all to be their fault.

(01:37):
But for the victims, and I think for a lot
of people, they want accountability. Again, we talk about well
release this or do It's about accountability. That's what people want. Now.
Do I think anything's going to come out of it.
Probably not. I think if there is some people that

(01:58):
could be embarrassed, that have mighty powerful friends, I think
they will figure out a way to stop any of
that stuff from happening, which is a shame. I don't
know if there's going to be any new information or
investigations or any accountability, but it's a step in a
direction that, you know, these women who are once young

(02:20):
girls want and need and deserve.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
The Justice Department now has thirty days to release the files,
but there's still no guarantee every document will be made public.
The bill includes exceptions, including a provision to withhold files
that would jeopardize an active federal investigation or prosecution, a
notable caveat given. Trump just last week called for an
investigation into Epstein's relationship with prominent Democrats, including Bill Clinton.

(02:46):
Attorney General Pam Bondi yesterday said she ordered that new
investigation in response to new information, but she would not
provide specifics.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, there should be no new information. These things have
been sitting there for a while, okay, and they've already
done some investigations. How much you know, and how they
broke it down with all this stuff, I don't know.
But do I think that we're going to get any body.
There's going to be a sacrificial lamb, if you will,
which is horrible to say, because these people are evil

(03:18):
and bad. I have no idea. I don't think anybody
really knows. I think they were just surprised that this
got to the point where Trump had no choice but
to sign it after what happened in the House and
then the Senate, which is another issue. And you know,

(03:43):
people talk about, you know, like Trump's like, go investigate
the Clintons. You know what, The Democrats don't care about
the Clintons. They don't care about any of what is
going on when it comes to anybody in there like that.
Clinton's are old news. They don't care. They're more of

(04:03):
an anchor at this point in time. Everything around them
is controversy, the hit list, all that kind of stuff.
You hear. They are far more of a pain in
the ass, and quite frankly, I think some Democrats would
be absolutely thrilled if there was some there there just
to get them to go away. And oh, by the way,
I've spoken to few Republicans that would be somewhat thrilled

(04:29):
if there was some there there when it comes to Trump. Now,
do I think that the Clintons did anything. No, do
I think that Trump did anything. I've said that from
the beginning. I do not. But that's the world of
politics we live in now. They want these things because
it suits them politically. Again, this should be about justice.

(04:50):
We move speaking of justice, Department of Justice swinging amiss
on Komi. Can we just say, and I said from
the beginning, Lindsay Halle easy on the eyes had no
business whatsoever being in this position. And I blame Pambondi

(05:12):
for this, you know, Trump and them pushing this whole retribution.
It feels like and it's embarrassing what they have done
to this lady because Lindsay Halligan, they didn't want to prosecute.
Right in New York. They said, no, don't, you're don't.

(05:34):
You're not going to get anything. This is going to
look bad. Remember the FEDS when they prosecute, they it's
ninety nine point ninety nine percent sure that you are
going to be convicted And or please something out. They
don't take stuff on. Maybe so they knew locally, no,

(05:58):
let's not do this, and yet they what they do. Dismissed,
put her in place. Here comes Lindsay Hall. Again, no
business being in this position, and it shows she is
unprepared and in over her head.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
She admitted she did not show the full grand jury
the final version of the indictment before the four persons
signed it. The disclosure shocked the courtroom. In the silence
call me and his family began whispering, and his attorney
called for the case to be thrown out.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I said they shouldn't have done this. I said it
was going to be dead on arrival. I said, it
feels vindictive, because it is. And because of that, you've
put somebody in a position where they're, now what, embarrassing themselves? Yeah,
they're also putting themselves in a position where people are

(06:47):
asking the questions should they because remember this, here's the
thing with modern politics. Democrats. You know, I've said, you
went hard for Trump. A lot of it was crap.
You knew a lot of it was crap media, same
kind of thing, and now they're getting it back in
their face. And so what do you think can happen next,

(07:09):
they're gonna go after Pam Bondi. You. Bannon said that
if if they don't win the midterms in twenty twenty eight,
there's a bunch of people that are going to go
to jail. Well, if you're gonna go to jail, it
means you usually going to jail for something there is.
You've got to put people in the right positions, and
you put her in a horrible position.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
Somehow Halligan got word that two of the charges the
grand jury would have voted for had they stood on
their own, And apparently Halligan rewrote the indictment omitting the
problematic charge and only presented the rewritten indictment to the

(07:51):
four person and one other grand juror, so the whole
grand jury did not see what eventually was signed off on.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Got to do a better job. Measure twice, cut once,
and in the overall scheme of things. Is this a
big deal? Yes, because the administration is got to get
with it. You can't have swings and missus. You celebrate
the victories when you have them, but you can't put

(08:23):
people in positions that make the administration look bad. It's
going to cost you and this was I always felt
like this was an overreach. Doesn't mean now, I mean
they're gonna hear some more, and it doesn't mean it's
gonna be thrown out or not. But I would say,
if I had to put money on it, yeah, there's

(08:45):
a good chance they're going to throw this out. So
we will see what happens from there. Speaking of what happens,
you guys know about Venezuela. Yeah, Yeah, stuff's going on
over there, And are we getting closer to something? It's
possible because.

Speaker 8 (09:02):
Trump tells us new imagists showing US marines training here
in Trinidad and Tobago, multiple Osprey aircraft carrying out joint
exercises with the local military as the US ramps up
pressure on Venezuela. It comes as The New York Times
reports President Trump signed off on additional covert CIA operations
inside Venezuela that could lay the groundwork for a bigger

(09:25):
military campaign, citing multiple people briefed.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
On the matter. I was watching a couple of CIA
agents yesterday. They've got youtubes's or former CIA agents, and
they both of them were quite vocal about, you know,
CIA agents, we like to be a little quiet about
the stuff we do. We're not quite sure that you

(09:50):
should be announcing if we're going to do something covertly
that takes away, how should I say this?

Speaker 8 (09:55):
The Surprise The Times also reporting Trump authorized a new
round to back channel negotiations with Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maluro,
who reportedly offered to step down after a few years,
but the White House rejected that plan.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
What he wants is stick around for as long as
you can steal as much as you can take the edy.
I mean, go live somewhere where America is not going
to come after you, and you can have your cake
and eat it too. And America's all, no, no, Now,

(10:34):
I don't think we should be in Venezuela. I don't
think there's anything for us to do there. And the
other nations are imploring him to step away, and partly
because they feel like once they start poking around here,
if they do, could it leed over into us, if
there's a civil war, could America decide we're next? So
they're they're just saying, hey, hey, Nick, why don't you

(10:56):
just say thanks so much for letting me rob your
nation blind? And I'm gonna leave three two, three, five,
three eight twenty four to twenty three at Chad Banta Joe,

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

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Big Travel Week next week, the biggest of the years.
We always talk about, but come January, things could change.
If you didn't get one of those real id's with
the star on it so they could follow us around, Chad,
they know what we're doing all the time, like our phones.
Or if you don't have a passport.

Speaker 9 (13:29):
TSA is proposing a new rule where passenger is traveling
without a real IDEA or passport would face a fee
of eighteen dollars. Passengers will have their identity verified on
a new biometric KIOS system before they're permitted to pass
through the security screening checkpoint. TSA says the current system
is outdated and this will streamline the process. The eighteen

(13:50):
dollars allows a passenger to access TSA checkpoints for ten
days without a real idea or passport.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Ooh, tell me more, my friend, tell me more, cause
I know a lot of people it didn't get it.
In fact, Afton Baine and I were talking. She's running
here for the seventh she's a Democrat. Oh god, but
she's in a big battle here in the seventh district
in Tennessee. We were talking about it. She's like, I'm
not getting it. She goes and I know a lot
of people that don't have a passport. So they didn't

(14:15):
get it, and they didn't get a passport. And again,
it's an interesting thing, the real id that's another one
of those awesome, you know things that's out there. Thank
you very much, Patriot Act.

Speaker 9 (14:27):
The new proposed rule will be published in the Federal
Registrar on Thursday. That would open a public comment period.
This could go into effect as early as January.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I tell everybody, just go get a passport. Just get
a passport, just easier. It's your one and done. Super thing.
You get that passport, everything's good, if you know what
I mean.

Speaker 9 (14:48):
The TSA says that using this new kiosk doesn't guarantee
you'll be able to pass through the security screening checkpoint.
It must be able to positively identify you using another
form of ID or your biometric you're biometrics.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
I'm surprised they're not doing that. Would that be easier
instead of just to travel just your thumbprint or you know,
by your eye, just just be done with that. I'm
surprised we're not there yet with that. I I I mean,
it sounds weird, but I am surprised that we're not
at that point. You know, they talk about biometrics, but

(15:23):
if our thumbprints are all unique, and our eye and
the rent is all unique, why they just do that.
We'll carry everything in our eyeball. But then someone could
take your eye out. Chad, how will you travel? Then?
Poortly is how we travel with one eye? Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show's your ex your instant, your YouTube and more. If

(15:44):
you're missing the show, shame on you. Grab the podcast
right here on the Chad Benson Show. So let's not
do that. Oh my lord, it's already bad enough that
there's chaos in the skies. People are unruly. Now I
got to deal with this crap and paying eight teen
bucks and bring in every piece of paperwork to prove

(16:04):
who I am to get on an airplane. A lot
of good stuff coming up, including is America over? Is
our empire collapsing? Are we finished? We will discuss that,
But first, Birch Gold. You're worried about the empire collapsing,
You're worried about all the things going on. How do

(16:26):
you diversify Birch Gold as how right now they've got
their Black Friday special. So what this entails is if
you convert an Ira or four oh one k into
a IRA backed by gold, what they're going to do
for every twenty thousand you spend, they're going to give
you gold for free, sent directly to your house. Boom.

(16:47):
It's that awesome. Why gold started at what twenty six
hundred dollars, it's over forty one hundred dollars. You've got
issues with AI the bubble, I mean everybody feels it.
You've got the crypto issues, the currency devalued. We can
go on and on, and let's not forget the fact
that there's unease globally. So that's why gold, the versification

(17:08):
is key protecting yourself. Gold's been around for millennia. Great
opportunity to take advantage of what they've got going on
at Birch Text toward Benson now to ninety eight, ninety eight,
ninety eight. Our buddies at Birch Gold are gonna get
you out all the information you need and see if
you qualify for the free gold. It's simple and easy.
Text toward Benson now to ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight.
For our friends over there at Birch Gold, coming up

(17:31):
the American Empire? Are we rome? Is it possible? We
will discuss straight ahead. This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 10 (17:40):
Then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Dad Benson's Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Is America over You hear a lot of that right
because we live in a time of performativeness where everything
is over the top, everything is hair on fire. But
let's be honest. You know, if you go look at
the great empires that collapsed, a lot of what it
was was hubris and debt. And that's important because right

(18:28):
now we're at the point where our debt is becoming
the number one thing that we have to cover every year,
more than defense, more than social security, more than meta.
I mean, you see where're going with this. So there's
this worry that, yeah, could we be headed towards that
rome like collapse or.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Is it more to the story we in the media
obsess about America's.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Problems procession fears, deepening, rising prices, to job fears.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Although that's true, but we should also acknowledge that today
life in America is better than life has been anywhere
in the world. For most of human history, the norm
was hunger, disease, illiteracy, slavery, and frequent war. The average
lifespan was less than thirty five years. For centuries, humanity

(19:22):
made little progress, but there were a few exceptions, so
called golden ages, and a new book Peak Human says
today is our golden age? Are we peak now?

Speaker 11 (19:35):
I think we live in a golden age for sure,
there is no doubt and I say this all the time.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
We live in the greatest place in the world in
the greatest time in history. It doesn't mean we don't
have issues, because we absolutely do. That being said, we
could learn from the mistakes of the past and understand
that the place that we live now, where we live,
how we live is incredible. You go back to even
the turn of you know, from the eighteen hundreds to

(20:01):
nineteen hundreds, how far we came, how fast we came,
and then with Ai and all this new stuff, the
things that are coming, which are both scary and I
think amazing. So we're blessed to live here. It's incredible
at this time. Doom and gloom sells being super chipper,

(20:22):
being the things, you know, like, it doesn't sell fear.
In particular for politicians. It's just easier to say the
other side is evils bad, is the devil, et cetera,
et cetera. Then try to talk about the great things Now.
It doesn't mean you don't dismiss people's worries, you don't
dismiss people's needs. We see that right now with what's
going on in the world of politics, based on you know,

(20:44):
the affordability issue. That being said, though, come on now.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Historian Johan Norberg says we can learn from the rise
and fall of golden ages like Agent Athens, Rome, the Renaissance,
and the one America's founders helped.

Speaker 11 (20:58):
Start Russian and poverty was the rule throughout history. What
says Golden Ages Apont is that for a period of
time they managed to lift themselves above that and give
more people more freedoms.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
The Romans did that, creating a huge empire extending from
Britain to North Africa, from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Black Sea. Strangely, looking at social media, this is something
today's American men think about a lot.

Speaker 12 (21:24):
How often do you think about the Roman Empire West?

Speaker 4 (21:30):
There are all these videos where women are surprised how
often the guys in their lives think about ancient Rome.

Speaker 11 (21:37):
Apparently men think about Rome every day because there's so
much to think about. They gave us the urban grid
in Manhattan. I, by the way, do not think about
Rome every day.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It is weird, though, that a lot of people think
about and they think about it from a lot of
different the gladiators as one, but also the collapse, like
everybody's this is the collapse of it all. This is
the end of it all, and they're double checking going
over there. We're getting close.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Rome's republic inspired our form of government.

Speaker 11 (22:09):
There's a reason why we have a Senate and they
meet in the capital. We borrow those ideas from the Romans.

Speaker 13 (22:18):
How many times a week do you think about the
Roman Empire?

Speaker 6 (22:23):
Like thirty thirty times a week.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
I suspect men are mostly interested in the military.

Speaker 11 (22:31):
We often think of warfare, the fact that they were
brutal warriors, and they were, but so were everybody else.
What made the Romans different. They gave people among the
subjected the ability to have a second career in Rome.
They made them citizens and allowed them to do business,
to have a career in the military. Some of the

(22:53):
subjected peoples could even end up being empress of Rome.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
The conquered, some became emperors.

Speaker 11 (22:59):
The son of a freed slave eventually ended up on
the throne of Rome. And that tells you something about
the power of meritocracy and of openness. You'll get the
best brains if you're open to more people.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
And we should be open to more people. But there
was also here's the thing about Rome that not a
lot of people realized. Rome expanded. You did immigrate into
their country, their country immigrated into yours. But to be
open and to say yes, I would you know, like

(23:36):
to have the opportunity to have people that are from
other nations that now are our subjects. If you will
be able to take part in our world and to
give their brilliance, their education, their talent to us, that's awesome.

(23:56):
And you've seen that with us throughout history. I mean,
let's be real. We built the nuclear your bomb with
the help of what former Nazis as well as NASA.
We look back and go, oh, that's bad, but we've
taken how many incredible opportunities to bring people here to
this country and from nothing they becomes something. You know,

(24:19):
That's why I am. Everybody talks about, you know, immigration
and illegal immigration and the way that it's done and
the way that it was allowed to happen under not
just Biden but many presidents was insane. But we're not
going to throw that away because we have to recognize
and Trump has said some stuff that's very true, whether

(24:40):
people want to believe it or not, that yeah, we're
going to need some talented people from other parts of
the world. We are we don't have the ability to
do certain things, and if we have a chance to
brain train other nations, we'd be foolish not to think
about it.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Rome was built on trade and immigration. They took ideas
is and talent from all over the world, not because
they thought that was kind.

Speaker 11 (25:04):
Tolerance was a weapon, often literally a weapon. They got
their Spanish sorts from the Spaniards, ships from Cartage, new
business models from other groups. Because Rome was such a huge,
integrated free trade area, you could source the best material,
the best technology from any part of the empire, and
therefore they could become the masters.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Of the world.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
But then Rome too, Phil.

Speaker 11 (25:29):
Yes, and ever since we've thought about why that happened?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
So why that happened? Ooh, and yes, Rome's greatness. As
far as all the stuff, and you hear about the roads,
and you hear about these things. What they were is
they just took other people's stuff and they turned it
into theirs, and they streamlined it, they made it better.
You know. They weren't the first to build roads, but

(25:55):
they were first to take roads and use them in
a way where you have we consider modern you know,
free ways and things of that nature. So it's like
it was that old say commercial is it basf or
one of those we don't invent the things that you like,
we make those things better. That was kind of realm

(26:17):
in a nutshell.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
There were many reasons disease, barbarian invaders, and something modern
societies should worry about, you say, entitlement spending played a big.

Speaker 11 (26:28):
Role bred and circuses. The empress wanted to become popular
by handing out free stuff to people. Originally this started small,
you just handed the very poor means of subsistence. But
it was popular, so the group that lived on the
public's expense grew larger all the time. An emperor's complained

(26:51):
about this. Everyone from Caesar and onwards say, oh, we've
got to reform this system because it means that we
have fewer people working and more people consuming. But no
one succeeded. Instead, it was expanded all the time, became
more and more costly.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
And that's the scary part. That's why I was talking
about debt earlier. Debt is becoming the number one thing
that we are paying for. So we've borrowed to the
point where now everything else that we do, all of
the quote unquote entitlements or second compared to the debt

(27:31):
to service for paying for those entitlements before we even
pay for those entitlements.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
Once people had their free bread, somebody who threatened to
take that away was in trouble.

Speaker 11 (27:44):
Romans could conquer the world, but they couldn't do entitlement reform.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
It just reminds me of what I see in the
West now. Even countries that are going broke, they can't
raise the retirement age.

Speaker 11 (27:55):
Once you have an ever expanding system of entitlements that
you can't afford, that's often the beginning of the decline.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
And full face, ancient Rome did what modern societies do,
meant more money. Actually, since they didn't have paper money,
they devalued by putting less gold and silver in each coin.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
In a way.

Speaker 11 (28:17):
Inflation was much worse than barbarian invaders, and the solution
that they come up with was counterproductive. The emperor Cletian
he blamed greedy businessmen for inflation, something that we hear
today as well. So he imposed price controls on more
than one thousand goods. But obviously it all failed because
the crisis kept rising and undermined the Roman Empire completely.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Ooh, it does all sound familiar. It doesn't mean we're
going to blow up tomorrow. As far as the the
you know, the debt bomb's gonna smash us and everything
goes sideways and we're all in the streets going what
are we gonna do. But these are all cautious tails.
And Rome is the one that's burnt in every but
he's mind because Rome did something that others just didn't do,

(29:04):
which is they documented all their stuff. Others did, but
not to the extent that Rome did.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
And countries that followed Germany after World War One, more
recently Venezuela and Zimbabwe, where they print Billsworth.

Speaker 14 (29:19):
One hundred trillion dollars, people would have to carry a
bag of cast just to buy a loaf of bread.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Pig human covers empire after empire that rose and fell.
Listening to you, I would think we're toasts, because every
civilization gets comfortable and destroys itself, and I see evidence
of that as I look around.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Do you like capitalism?

Speaker 15 (29:43):
No?

Speaker 4 (29:43):
I have many critics of capitalism.

Speaker 11 (29:46):
One of the most worrying science and histories. You begin
to take wealth and comfort for granted, it's just there,
and give us more of it, and then you forget
what made it possible to begin with.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
We have taken so much of that, our freedoms and
everything for granted. But the wealth, all of the stuff
that we have, the access that we have, the fact
that we can order something today online, it can be
here this afternoon. That doesn't even include the fact that
we could just have food brought to our house at
any given moment. We are so blessed. People need to

(30:24):
understand how blessed we are. And if we do not
heed the warnings from the past, what happens. We'll pay
the price for it in the future. And that's the
fear I have, not that we're going to collapse, but
that we're going to have serious issues if we don't
get our heads out of our butts.

Speaker 11 (30:40):
I see a lot of worrying signs right now. We
have a backlash against all of the things that keep
our society innovative.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Trade, We've been ripped off by everybody.

Speaker 11 (30:52):
Against migration.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
We got to close the border. That's the first thing
we gotta do.

Speaker 11 (30:56):
Unsustainable debts, US federal debt is on any sustainable path.
All those problems are there, but that doesn't mean that
we're doomed. That's a lesson of history as well, that
there's so many instances where societies have faced terrible situations
and problems, but they've bounced back, and that's very much

(31:19):
dependent on what they decided to do. It's not automatic.
This sort of decline and full face. You can unleash
new waves of innovation and of progress. So there is
still time. We can still save this Golden.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Age, Amen, and I think we will. But there's going
to be some bumps in the road, and I think
we're starting to feel that now. But to say that
America is doomed or destroyed, don't write us off yet
because I think the passage yet to come. But it

(31:54):
doesn't mean it's smooth sailing three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three atch. Had Benson shows your

It's a Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Irre like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
There is a travel alert for Japan warning visitors. Now,
Japan is one of the safest places on the planet.
If you think you're gonna go over there and you're
gonna be attacked and mugged and any of that stuff, no, no, no, no,
not from people, but from bears.

Speaker 12 (33:42):
A grizzly warning to tourists in Japan as the country
deals with a surge in bear attacks. According to Japan's
public Broadcasting Network, a record two hundred and twenty people
have been injured since April. Officials say at least thirteen
people killed, seven of those deaths in October alone. As
the animals prepare for hibernation.

Speaker 15 (34:01):
Bear population has increased dramatically in Japan. I mean they
are now I believe over forty thousand Asiatic black bears
throughout Japan.

Speaker 12 (34:09):
Bears have been spotted in populated areas across the northern
part of the country, including inside this supermarket and outside
a nursery school.

Speaker 15 (34:17):
As that population increases, combined with the population of people
increasing and going into these habitats, you're going to have
these conflicts bears bears.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
That's why we've talked about it. Nobody else was talking
about we get ahead of everything. Nobody was talking about
the bears, but we're talking about a lot of attacks.
They just roam on in and attack. And these aren't
grizzly bears. You know, we think of the black bear,
the grizzly bear, you know, the polar bear. No much smaller.

(34:49):
But you know what they came loaded for bear if
you will.

Speaker 12 (34:53):
The US, the UK, and China all issuing travel advisories
to their citizens, with the bears also spotted in places
frequent by travelers. A bear cup killed by authorities after
breaking into a hot spring resort in the Awa Te
prefecture and the airport they are briefly forced to ground
flights after this sighting on the runway in Japan's historic

(35:14):
Shirakawa Village, visitors carrying bear bells and warning signs posted
everywhere after a tourist from Spain was attacked at the
UNESCO listed site.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Now, we're not trying to scare you into not going
to Japan. We're just saying take some bear spray and
to bell and be prepared. Okay, we warned you. That's
what we do here right here. One of the Chad
Benson Show coming up. Second out of Chad Benson Show.
A lot of good stuff to talk about. Still when
it comes to what's going on with the Ebstein stuff,

(35:46):
we're gonna talk a bit about that affordability, the battle
that's going on as well. When it comes to MAGA
and the Republican Party. I think some people are seeing
some cracks in the Republican Parties, you know, fascination and
at times cult like following when it comes to Trump

(36:08):
and people are positioning themselves for a run in twenty
twenty eight and where do they go from here? And
that includes what's going on with Nick Fuentez. We'll discuss
that as well. You've been seen the show. Grab the
podcast hour number two straight ahead. This is the Chat
Beanzee Show.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Everything in politics is performative. Everything in politics in today's world,
it absolutely is. And everything that we see at this
moment in time is gearing us up already for another election,
which is crazy, right. I mean, we're already thinking about
another election. And I'm not even talking about twenty twenty eight.
We can get that a little bit later. I'm talking
about next year, the midterms, because the Republicans understand if

(37:16):
they lose the midterms, what probably is going to happen.
You're going to have not only is Trump. People are already
looking at Trump as a lame duck president, but you're
going to be in a situation at that point in
time where is it going to be impeached? What does
that look like? How many people are going to be investigating?
And we can go on and on about all of

(37:37):
this stuff, and there's still time, but the economy stupid
is absolutely number one, among other things, not just what's
going on with Epstein. We'll talk about that in a
little bit as well, but it's still the economy stupid.
If the economy struggles, you will pay the price at
the ballot. It's always been that way, It'll all be

(38:00):
that way. And over the last several days, more and
more polls are coming out that are showing the Democrats
getting not just a bit of a lead, a real
lead in next year's midterms. And they had to cause

(38:22):
it being you know, if it's a tie, right, it
goes to the runner, and that would have been the Republicans.
So you need to win big to take over.

Speaker 16 (38:35):
And after a long period of stasis, you saw in
that graphic that for all those years there was no
real advantage for Democrats. Think about it this way. For
Democrats to win the House, they need to win there
is no national popular vote for the House of Representatives,
but they need to get more votes nationally in House
races by about three points.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
Right.

Speaker 16 (38:58):
So if you see a generic ballot poll that shows
the Republicans and Democrats tied, that means the Republicans are
going to win the House, so Democrats need to be ahead.
Ur le voters all sorts of reasons why that's true.
That's fifteen points, and that's after a long time in
which the Democrats had no advantage and were frequently behind.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Something is up, Yeah, something is up. People are pissed.
The economy plays a massive role in it. They feel
like they're not being heard. And you've got this this
divide too, between the older, more conservative, classically conservative people

(39:43):
and you've got a younger MAGA group that helped Trump
get over it that's a little bit more independent, that
doesn't vote straight down ticket and party line. I mean
is you've got this very interesting thing going on, and
it is not a good situation right now for the Republic. Now,
the economy, and I'll tell you this over and over again.

(40:04):
I believe the economy is going to steady itself next year.
What does it look like when that happens. Have we
taken a beating? Has there been so many job losses
that I mean, you know, we can go over all
of the things, but I think the economy isn't going
to collapse. But I think we're gonna have a slowdown,
and I think it'll pick up, and it'll probably do it.

(40:25):
You know, I'm predicting second quarter ish, But do you
have time to shape that message or will it be
far gone by then? Because it's not just about the
economy when it comes to Trump. There's so much more

(40:46):
that goes with it. And when you as we've talked
about earlier, the vote the other day for Epstein, it
got over Marjorie Taylor Green standing up to him, I
think gave people cover. And I think people are looking
for the opportunity. I think to you know, what do

(41:07):
you want to say, smelling blood in the water, whatever
the hell it is, to make some sort of of
move and start to reshape whatever they possibly can in
the political world. And people are looking it's not just yes,
it's the economy, but when the economy's okay but it's

(41:32):
not great, are there other things? And even though you're
a congressman, Trumps president. And one thing we know about
Trump is he's exhausting. He is I've said that for
a long time. You go work for Trump, the chaos,

(41:58):
the brilliance, all of the things, you know, I mean,
there's going to be all kinds of things of Trump.
But I've always said this, there's a shelf life. You
go and you're like, there's a shelf life in this position,
especially in the political world, and for the GOP in
particular Congress people. Trump is on the ballot with you

(42:24):
more so than at any other time for any president.
I think it's just too muchness.

Speaker 16 (42:29):
I think that what sense in a sense of just
too much of everything all the time. Donald Trump, we
should remember, I think has about eighty percent of his
presidency left. It's been a lot, right, and every day
we're tearing down part of the White House, or we're
putting tariffs on, or we're taking tariff's off, or somebody's
giving him a giant gold bar, or he's starting a

(42:50):
new business venture, or on and on and on and
on and on. And I think the affordability is part
of it. I think Epstein is a substantial part of it.
It's just too week and all of this stuff. But
I think it just adds up to a cumulative decision
from an electorate that had said, you know what, enough
with these Democrats, enough with these Democrats, and Donald Trump

(43:10):
has reminded them in a very short period of time,
like don't forget about us. Don't forget about us.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
And again they can each snatch defeat from the jaws
of victory. But the exhaustion I get. I do get that.
So and you know you're writing on something, if you're
if you're a congress person, you're a senator of not

(43:41):
only is the economy going in the right way, but
also what else is happening because it ends up being
a reflection on you and your party. And even if
you disagree with the president, everybody's terrified to go against
the president because the fear is He's you know, it's
either you face the voters because things aren't going well

(44:02):
and they're exhausted because of Trump, or you face the
voters because Trump's pissed to you and now they're going
to come for you. And this is the voters have
voted for you last time. So it's I get it. Man.
It's a tough thing. And next year the control is
a big deal because I continue to say this, even

(44:25):
with all the Epstein stuff and we don't know where
that's going to go. The investigations that will come if
the Democrats control the House will be massive.

Speaker 16 (44:40):
And speaking of Epstein, I've never seen an administration step
on as many rakes in a row and just pow
right in the face, over and over and over again,
and for no apparent purpose, watching President flip on the
Epstein question and say, actually, I wanted it the whole time,
and you're like, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
And why is it?

Speaker 16 (44:59):
Month after month after a month, and now they've got
a plan together, they're going to say Democrats are worse.
Let me let you in on a little secret. The
Republican should know. Nobody in the Democratic Party today cares
whether Bill Clinton gets in trouble because of his friendship
with Jeffrey Epstein. The idea that Trump can increase the
pain for Democrats, and that Democrats will say, no, we
don't please keep the Epstein file secret.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
No, they don't care. And that's a big deal right there.
They don't care, said at last Darroist again, they don't care.
He is now and they are now an anchor, not
a sale when it comes to the Democrat Party. Oh,

(45:43):
speaking of Epstein.

Speaker 14 (45:44):
The bill includes exceptions, including a provision to withhold files
they determine would jeopardize an active federal investigation or prosecution,
a notable caveat given Trump recently ordered an investigation into
Epstein's relationships with prominent Democrats. Trump ordering that probe after
Bondi herself closed the Epstein investigation back in July, insisting

(46:06):
there was no there there, that the administration found no
evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
So this will be very interesting. If the Democrats don't care,
you're going after people that don't care about they're fine
with that. If you want to out at all, they're
fine with that. Put it out there as the way
they're looking at it, and there's some people out there nervous.
There's no doubt about that. But what does it mean.
Because just because it's signed and it's out there, this

(46:36):
is a start, but it's not a finish for the survivors.

Speaker 14 (46:40):
This bill becoming log caps a decades long fight. The
family of Virginia Giuffrey, one of Epstein's most well known victims,
telling ABC News quote, this moment is nothing short of monumental.
They are applauding the work of all of the survivors,
while cautioning that work isn't finished yet.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
So we'll see what they are going to get out,
what will come out, what won't come out. It's gonna
be one of those. I don't think we'll know everything.
I think there's a lot that will be buried. I
think there's a lot that's disappeared, and I think in
the coming weeks and months it'll go quiet and then

(47:21):
something will eventually happen and people will get frustrated. There's
gonna be a lot of frustration. I think. I don't
think we're gonna find a lot out, but it's a start.
Three two, three, five, twenty four to twenty three at
Chad Benson Show, Is your ex, your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook?
And more? Coming up? Got some cool stuff coming up,

(47:45):
including the Nick Fuentes issue. Republican parties got to figure
something out with Nick Fuentes because there's no doubt he
is filling a void that Charlie Kirk left as far
as speaking to the young, but also filling a place

(48:09):
that the Republicans don't want any part of. So we're
gonna talk about that as well as Venezuela and Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (49:46):

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Conflicts globally. First we go to Venezuela.

Speaker 8 (49:52):
New imagist showing US Marines training here in Trinidad and Tobago,
multiple Osprey aircraft carrying out joint exercises with the low
military as the US ramps up pressure on Venezuela. It comes,
as The New York Times reports President Trump signed off
on additional covert CIA operations inside Venezuela that could lay
the groundwork for a bigger military campaign, citing multiple people

(50:15):
briefed on the matter.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
It was interesting. I was watching a former CIA analyst saying,
you know, normally, we don't like to announce that we're
going to do something that's kind of the hallmark of
the CIA. As were a little sneaky. Maybe maybe next time,
maybe maybe let's not do that next time.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Oh oh.

Speaker 8 (50:39):
The Times also reporting Trump authorized a new round of
back channel negotiations with Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro, who reportedly
offered to step down after a few years, but the
White House rejected that plan.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
That was and that's been out there for a while,
that he said he would like to stay on and
finish this and steal as much money as possible from
the people. But what you're also finding though, at the
pressure around Venezuela, especially in Colombia, where they are kind
of now urging Maduro to step away, because the fear

(51:15):
is if we do, and God willing, we don't. But
if we were to go into Venezuela and things got sideways,
we installed somebody new and then all of a sudden
there's a civil war that that could spread into Colombia,
and that's not something anybody wants. And then there's the

(51:36):
other side of it, which is we go in there
and we decide, well, we're not downe here in Venezuela,
maybe we need to go to Colombia next. So that's
why there's urging from some other nations at hey, Maduro,
maybe it's time to kick rocks.

Speaker 8 (51:49):
As far as the endgame here, many experts say, sure,
it can be about stopping drugs in this part of
the world, but it's also very likely about more than that.
It's very likely about forcing President Malul from power one
way or another, and.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
I think the he wants an exit route three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
That is your ex your Insta, your YouTube, and Facebook
will be live tonight right around seven o'clock Eastern on YouTube.
Join us right here on the Chad Benson Show. He

(52:26):
wants to be able to take his cake and then
go eat it and not have to worry about being
arrested in the future. He wants the edy. I mean,
go somewhere, take all your winnings if you will, that
you looted from your nation, and live comfortably in exile.

(52:46):
Let me know what you think. The other side of
the world, you have something else going on, which is Ukraine.
Russia still going at it and it is getting worse
every day.

Speaker 17 (52:58):
For Ukraine is one of the deadliest attacks this year,
taking a direct hits, killing at least twenty five people,
including three children, dozens wounded. Incredibly, one man pulled out
alive after hours trap beneath the rubble.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Yeah, it was brutal and it's not going any It's
not There is no endgame here where Ukraine comes out
in a better situation, zero opportunity for that. Putin's got
all of the cards, which we've been saying for a while.
Trump believed that he could use the relationship he thought

(53:35):
he had with the Pooter to take the offer, and
no one's going to happen.

Speaker 17 (53:40):
Senior US military officials now in Keith to try to
restart peace talks.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
A US plan.

Speaker 17 (53:45):
Presented to Ukraine includes reducing its military Russia keeping all
the land it's taken and the demilitary zone. But honestly,
this largely reflects Russia's position, not Ukraine's, and it seems
unlikely to go anyway towards fulfilling Dalton's pumas of ending
this wool quickly.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
There's no quick exit here unless the Russians want it,
and I do not see the Pooter saying exit stage left.
Calming up the Nick Fuentes question, Dividing the GOP we
discussed straight ahead Chad.

Speaker 10 (54:15):
Benson Show, then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:37):

Speaker 2 (54:39):
There's a new segment here on the old Chad Benson Show.
We're calling deep dive this. We're going to go in
deep on a subject that I think is important, whether
it's politics, pop culture, life, whatever it is. And today
we're going to talk about Maga Conservatism, Republican Rhinos, Libertarians,

(55:07):
and Grouper's. But yeah, this is all to do with
Nick Fuentes, who has become this voice in the conservative
movement that disappeared for a while. And he's only like
what I think. He's twenty seven, and he's anti Semitic, racist,

(55:32):
he's all of the things, and he's fine with those things.
He says those things. And I will tell you this
and I'll give you my straight up opinion on I
think Nick is a troll. I think he says a
lot of stuff for effect. Do I think that he
believes some of the stuff, Yes, but to the to

(55:57):
the degree that people talk about him. No, I don't
think he's I don't think he's would have been part
of the SS. But I think he found a lane
and has run with it. And then with the subsequent
killing of Charlie Kirk, there has been a serious issue

(56:20):
in the Republican Party, especially among the young. They've kind
of been up for grabs. They were already pissed and
disgruntled by a lot of things they saw happening because
they feel like the opportunities that they were hoping for
seemed to have been abandoned by Trump and MAGA. From

(56:45):
Israel to Epstein to the economy, they were frustrated. They
didn't feel like it was America first. And then Nick,
because of the opportunity to get back on the interwebs,
has taken advantage of those things and he's running with it.

Speaker 15 (57:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (57:03):
So Nick's intentions, in his own words, is to infiltrate politics,
to take over the Republican Party and bring it in
line with some of his more extreme views that are racist,
anti Semitic, and opposed to people of color. It's something
that he's been planning on doing, something that he talks
about in his stream nightly. But this move to create
a foundation is really the next step in that.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
And that right there is Tanner now from the Free
Press who did a deep dive as well on Nick Fuentes,
and again what he says is abhorrent, There's no doubt.
I think a lot of what he says is for
a fact, And in between he's able to get young,

(57:52):
pissed off men in particular who are looking for a
place that they thought MAGA was going to be about,
and it's in their mind now it's not it's about Israel,
it's about hiding the powerful. It's about a lot of
the things that they said they weren't going to be
that they've become. It's not America First, right, making America

(58:15):
great again, America First. Well, Nick's come in and said no, no, no, no,
I'm going to put America first.

Speaker 15 (58:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (58:21):
So my report of the Free Press outlines how he
is revamping a America First foundation, which is a five
oh one C four that allows him to raise money
from major donors, create programming, will not disclose them, and
be able to give those two candidates moving forward in
the midterms, and explicitly he wants to influence the midterms
to be more aligned with his agenda.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
And he's going to have influence. Like I said, with
Charlie Kirk, leaving that void there of the young, the
people that are stepping in and trying to fill that void,
they're not one thing about Nick. You can hate him,
have every right to. I don't watch him, never really have.
I've always thought it again, to be a trolled, to

(59:04):
be so much of it is for effect. It's awful
and horrible, but we live at a time where awful
and horrible, seem to be okay ish, which is wrong.
But he's filling a void that has been left. And

(59:29):
the Republicans are struggling with this because they're not quite
sure what the hell to do. They're not quite sure
how they maneuver this. He is taking down MAGA in
a way where they never saw coming. There was one

(59:50):
thing about Charlie, Charlie, as we touched on a little
bit yesterday, he kept them somewhat stitched together in a
major way, especially in the the the different generations, and
that was the issue that really Nick has been able

(01:00:11):
to jump upon and run with, and they don't know
what to do.

Speaker 13 (01:00:18):
Absolutely, it is completely fracturing and stoking these these huge
arguments that Tucker Carlson interview with Nick Fontes got millions
of views, brought Nick really into the spotlight in a
way he hadn't been before.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
And it's terminology. I've heard glazing.

Speaker 13 (01:00:33):
Glazing, Yes, Yes, Tucker Carlson. It was not a combative interview,
is quite friendly. It was much more friendly than it
was with someone like Senator Ted Cruz that Tucker interviewed
just a few months ago.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Yeah, it was a lot of people were pissed about
the way he went after Cruise. You know, the whole
Ted Cruise thing. It drives me crazy. But you know what, look,
here's the perfect example though a fracture. What's Ted Cruz
doing looking maybe to to to step up and run

(01:01:07):
for president again? Already Trump's been asked questions about it.
It's more than just a murmuring. You know, they're they're
setting up a committee and let's go out and explore
and see if we that's where the fracture is. It's
not just the fracture of the Republicans and the old
and the young, and it's generational and it's and it's
it's America First, or it's make America great again or Trump.

(01:01:30):
It's they're looking at the opportunities to grab market share,
which is tearing apart the Republican Party because the Republican
Party isn't the Republican Party anymore. It's Trump's party. And
as it goes with Trump, that's how the party goes.

(01:01:52):
He's become all of their identity. And Nick is like, no,
that's not what this is about. You're about you, and
we're going to make America first. And that's why you
have this battle going on and the weird part of

(01:02:13):
the how should I say this? The foot see that
the Republicans are like the White House. They want the
young voter, but they don't want anything to do with Nick.
They want the young voter, but they want him gone right.

(01:02:34):
It's like, we want no part of what you're offering,
but if we could take your votes, that'd be super Lots.

Speaker 18 (01:02:42):
Of people within the movement, MAGA and Conservative have spoken
out about this, and it seems to me, and correct
me if I'm wrong, Tanner, that it is in part
a generational divide young men for whatever set of reasons,
maybe they don't know enough about history, maybe they need
a little bit more history about the holocaustmo World War Two,
about who Stalin was, who Hitler was. But for whatever

(01:03:04):
set of reasons they have, at least for the moment
gravitated in next direction that's given him a kind of
accumulated online cloud.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Has it not? Absolutely? Absolutely?

Speaker 13 (01:03:15):
Nick Fuentes is wildly popular online. He has a nightly
stream that goes for hours, but online on Instagram and
x These soundbites are thirty seconds to a minute long,
and they, as has been said, they are very very racist,
anti Semitics. Sometimes and the sell, the sell online, and
there's a large contingent of young people, particularly they call

(01:03:37):
themselves crapers risk fans that are really coming of age
and entering staffs and politics and growing up and getting
into the halls of power. So it's something to watch
and it's something that the Republican Party is going to
have to contend with. And it is generational in terms
of older versus.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Younger, because he's talking to a bunch of what young
men who are pissed because they feel the world's against him.
They are living in their mom's basement, they are falling
further and further behind. In particular women, they're angry because

(01:04:15):
they feel like they're judged upon looks and nothing else,
and they don't have anything to offer. And Trump came
and sold them a bag, you know, just a bag
of what they thought was going to be goodies and
instead it's a bag of crap in their mind, and
they're upset, and he's filling that void. Charlie tried to
fill it with a lot of things, including promise right,

(01:04:41):
Nick is going, I'll put America first, and you're America,
and we need to protect America, White America. In his mind,
and we need to make sure that this is done
properly because you guys are being left beh hind. The

(01:05:02):
Republicans have a real issue here on how to claw
back these young, pissed off, angry men and distance himself
from somebody who Yes, if the association with Nick is
going to be there, your party's in serious trouble. Let

It's a Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
If you like talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
You've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Oh Christmas time? Are you a real or fake Christmas
tree person? I'm a real person. My wife and I
differ in this last year we got a real tree.
Normally she's not a fan. She likes the fake trees
and they've gotten way better. When I was a kid,
they looked all of them look like Charlie Brown. Christmas
tree just always looked awful. Now they look much better,

(01:07:24):
kind of like AstroTurf. When I was a kid growing up,
it was just green carpet over concrete. Now you go
look at these fake fields and they've got real grass
sewn in between every other blade. It looks and feels
pretty real. So, yes, trees have improved. But for me,
I'm still well, I'm still a natural kind of Christmas

(01:07:47):
tree person. Which one's more expensive this year?

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
The most wonderful time of the year is almost here.

Speaker 4 (01:07:56):
Look at it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
From Candyland Confections, it is candy Land in her living room.

Speaker 19 (01:08:02):
To nineties nostalgia for nineties Christmas tree decorps taking over
TikTok searches up one thousand percent in just the last week.

Speaker 20 (01:08:14):
But before you go and buy that perfect Christmas vacation tree,
there it is. Experts say there's good news this holiday.
With supply steady, eighty four percent of Christmas tree growers
say they don't plan on raising wholesale prices. In fact,
some may lower them.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
When you have the large supply that we have right now,
you need to get the trees harvested and sold.

Speaker 9 (01:08:40):
We can't leave them in the ground forever.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Oh so they're going to be cheaper. Oh tell me more.
I love that cheaper trees. And again let's go back
to the natural side of stuff, the smell, all of that.
It's not just about the cheaper tree, because they're real
and they're in knowing sometimes because the needles fall off.
There's just something about going and the imperfection which makes

(01:09:07):
it perfection finding that tree, right, Can you remember that
when you were a kid, how excited you were to
go get a tree.

Speaker 20 (01:09:14):
It comes at the right time as not just the
grinch I stuff up the tree, but tariffs look to
steal some Christmas joy. Eighty seven percent of artificial Christmas trees, ornaments,
and decorations came from China last year, and now the
American Christmas Tree Association expects artificial tree prices to be

(01:09:35):
ten to twenty percent higher. A two hundred and ninety
nine dollars tree last year could go as high as
three hundred and fifty nine dollars this year. Tree farmers
like the Joneses and Shelton, Connecticut are optimistic they're real
trees can meet Americans' needs.

Speaker 11 (01:09:52):
Anyone who wants to get a beautiful rio freshly grown
Christmas tree there we ought to find it, not just
where we are in the Northeast, but you know, all
across the country.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
I love that. I absolutely love that. I love Christmas
so excited. So we're gonna be off next week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
and I'll be off Monday as well. And I'm just
I love Christmas for doing some stuff where you just
relax and enjoy yourselves. But man, I tell you, I'll
kill you what. I am so excited for the holidays.

(01:10:25):
And it's funny because seeing it through my kid's eyes,
you know, Charlie getting excited all that kind of stuff.
I'm just I'm pumped for Christmas. Next week's Thanksgiving and
it's just gonna be awesome. You know. So Christmas trees,
it's a win right there. Christmas trees a win because

(01:10:46):
they're cheaper thanks to the tariffs. That's a win for
the tariffs. And I will say the artificial tree, I
know you buy it once and stuff, but they're so expensive.
I was looking the other day. It was like, because
I've thought, you know what, we're Last year we had
the most amazing tree, but we're in an apartment and

(01:11:10):
they didn't have one of those days where you dropped
the tree and it gets picked up. I had to
my wife laughing, She goes, do you remember what you
had to do last year? I said, yeah, So where
we live here on Music Row, uh in Nashville. I
had to put it in this bag and it looked
like I was carrying a body down the street into
the alley, throwing it inside of a dumpster. And then

(01:11:32):
remember when you get the tree up, Santa is gonna
come and you gotta go, Okay, what's Santa bringing? Because
that's always important too. Charlie still wondered, like, how does
Santa get in the house? Like what happens again? How
do the Reindeers? I'm like, he knows what he's doing.
Is he gonna bring me a la boo boo? She

(01:11:53):
doesn't like la boo boos. She thinks they look like demons.
If you don't know a la boobo as you check

It's out right here on the Chad Benson Show coming

(01:12:15):
out our number three the program, A lot of stuff
still to get to, including is America in decline? Is
the empire going to end? It's the good question. We'll
talk about that because I think it's a fair question
to ask, especially in the times that we find ourselves,

(01:12:37):
we should ask that question. And with the debt where
it is as well. We're also going to talk a
little bit about affordability, which is a big deal. More
on Epstein as well.

Speaker 4 (01:12:45):
Now what.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Which is also another question that is kind of just
dangling over everybody's head in DC and elsewhere. If you're
missing the show, grab the podcast our number three straight
Ahea Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
This is the Chat Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
America. We got a problem. We're not happy now I
am pretty happy. I'm kind of like Tigger drives everybody crazy,
bounce around, doing, doing, doing doing. But I always say
I came from the greatest generation that wasn't the greatest generation,
which was Gen X, right, because the baby boomers are
painting the ass. You can say even if your baby

(01:13:51):
boomer were not, but there's definitely issues there. Let's be real.
I came from the before times, the internets and the
aftertimes the Internet. So I feel like I came from
the Great generation. But America across the board were not happy,

(01:14:13):
especially the utes of America.

Speaker 21 (01:14:15):
Unfortunately for our country, it just isn't the same level
of happiness as it was in years before. Common Good
puts out this report every year, and this year they
ranked the United States as twenty fourth in the world
in terms of happiness. We ranked eleventh just a few
years ago in twenty twelve. The steepest decline came in

(01:14:38):
the last two years, and the rating overall a D
plus at risk of failure.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
Well, ds get degrees, but that's not a good thing.
We are unhappy, and yes it has to do with youth.
A lot of utes unhappy out there, but I think
a lot of America is not as happy as as
we could be, keeping up with the Joneses, the stress

(01:15:03):
of everything, politics, and of course the Internet. It's all
part of it.

Speaker 21 (01:15:08):
Parts of what have what has contributed to that decline
are eroding social bonds, falling optimism, and worsening emotional and
economic well being. The US is among, in fact, the
top five loneliest countries in the world, according to this survey.
Twenty one percent of responding said that they are always

(01:15:29):
or almost always lonely.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
And here's something And if you've listened to my show
for any length of time, we've talked about this. We
are more connected than we have ever been in human history,
and we are further apart. We do not have community.
We do not trust in community. We do not trust

(01:15:55):
a lot of our government. I mean, whether it's the
local level, the state level, or all the way up
to the national level. We have serious issues. You want
to know why. A lot of other nations that we see,
especially the Scandinavian nations, they always talking about why they
are doing well when it comes to a lot of

(01:16:17):
different things. Less stress, more focus on life rather than work.
Those are all things, you know. But there's a trust
factor of community, and that includes the government. And we
do not trust. We are not a trusting folk. And
then you throw the Internet in there with algorithms and

(01:16:39):
the political divide exactly.

Speaker 21 (01:16:42):
And part of this is also that political polarization that
we have all seen. We've seen it on the air,
and we've felt it in our own communities. Sixty two
percent of Americans said that the country is simply too
divided to be able to function effectively. That is contributing
to a greater weariness among neighbors. They don't feel like

(01:17:04):
they can talk or hang out in the same way
so that they used to. That feeds into the loneliness,
and that feeds into that sharp decline for happiness.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
Oh boy does it. And we talked yesterday about women
who want to leave America. They want to go elsewhere. Right,
you know, again, it's a younger it's an age thing,
don't get me wrong. Right, because if you're sixty five
and you're retired and you got a little bit of
money in the bank and you I mean, we can
go on and on about you know, so you got

(01:17:32):
your house, you're paid for us good, You're like you
young whipper snappers. And I say that because it makes
it seem like you guys are way older than you are.
But there is a divide there and then the politics
comes into it. Men in particular are going to the right.
We talked about it last hour. The holes that have

(01:17:53):
been left by the likes of Charlie Kirk. Whether you
liked him or not, there was something there for a
younger generation that wasn't. Nick Fuentes and the groupers and
capitalizing on the anger that's out there. So we've got
all of this stuff swirling around, and it's no wonder
we're pissed and angry. And then you throw in the algorithms, right,

(01:18:16):
so there's the other side of you. You throw in
the algorithms. So what do you have. You know, thirty
years ago, the biggest A hole in your city, he
would grumble, maybe shout something at you. That was about it. Now,
guess what, the biggest A hole in this city can
connect with the other A holes around the world and

(01:18:38):
argue with one another, because apparently that's a good idea.

Speaker 21 (01:18:44):
Comes to like the actual numbers, and I was having
a lot of fun digging into this report earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
Today, there is.

Speaker 21 (01:18:50):
Such a tremendous gap generationally. In fact, American seniors, those
older than sixty are among the very happiest higher world,
whereas the people here who are are young folks under
the age of thirty, they are among the very worst
in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
Yeah, I want to stop that right there, the age gap.
I talked about a vast majority of wealth home ownership.
Baby boomers, they've got the system the way they want it.
The younger generation feels pissed and angry, and this isn't becoming.

(01:19:37):
It's not a class thing. I heard somebody the other
day say class warfare. It's not a class warfare. It's
an age warfare. It's a generational warfare that's going on.
So that's the battle that's going on there. Let's continue.

Speaker 21 (01:19:52):
In fact, they rank number sixty second in the entire
world in terms of happiness, and part of that is
really about the social media, as you explained, not just
that political polarization that I was explaining before, but they
found that excessive screen time contributes to additional loneliness as
well as anxiety and depression. So they say that there

(01:20:14):
are solutions out there, and that is moving from an
economic frameset for well being because we are a prosperous
nation to one that values community and values connections. And
it sounds like maybe we should be spending more time
with our seniors and our grandfathers and grandmothers and that
can help make us happier.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
To Juliet, Yeah, good luck with that. And it's hard
to move from an economic frame point to say I'm
going to have a community based frame point. Money does
not buy you happiness. Money makes you more of who
you are. But one thing money does do buys your

(01:20:59):
piece of mind. Mind. It gives you options when you're
stretched twenty four to seven out whether or not you're
gonna be able to pay the bills. It is hard
to be happy when you look up and you say
to yourself, I don't think I'm ever going to own
a home. I think I'm going to be paying off
this college debt forever. I don't think I'm ever going

(01:21:21):
to live without roommates. It's hard to put a smile
on your face. It is now. There's a lot of
people doing well, even young people. But do I understand
why that this is a real issue, why we're miserable

(01:21:45):
one hundred percent, and yet the economy plays a rolling
but also the divide in our politics and by the
way we've had you know, people think that that we're
the only generations that have had divine in our politics.
I have news for you. If you go back and
study history, the disdain that we used to have for

(01:22:08):
each other, including duels, we had a war, sword fights.
I'm going to go on and on. I mean, this
was something where they used to be violent. Ours is
very much emotionally driven but it's in mass If you

(01:22:35):
lived in you know, New York in the eighteen hundreds
and there was a battle in DC between two politicians,
you are probably never going to hear about it. You
may disagree with your neighbor here and there, but you
weren't going to publish it to the world and fight
with people five towns over. We're allowing these stuff to

(01:22:56):
consume ourselves, which takes away from our happiness. I told
my aught to the other day, Charlie, because we were
talking about, uh, my wife and I were having a
conversation about Epstein and Trump because you know, and she
she says, Daddy, do you love Trump or do you
hate Trump? And I look and I said, Charlie, love

(01:23:17):
is for family and friends. I said, hate is something
that you never want to do because it's it's it
hurts you and it takes up too much of your time.
And and then she goes, Okay. I said, he's just
a person, that's it. I said, you shouldn't. You should

(01:23:38):
only devote those emotions to certain things, like you know,
especially love, but never to politics. But we've allowed that,
We've allowed these things to seep into the point where
they've become our sport, our identity, and because of that,

(01:24:02):
if somebody disagrees with you, what do you have? Well,
you don't like me. I didn't say that, I said
I disagree with your take on this. Nope, because my
belief in that is my entire identity. So purity test
that's just not healthy. And if we want to have

(01:24:23):
a healthier society, we've got to talk to each other.
We're going to treat each other as our neighbors. We're
got to treat each other as fellow countrymen and women.
We've got to treat each other with respect. That's what

(01:24:43):
we need to do. We need to get back to that.

he is homeless, kind of CouchSurfing and living in hotels.
Jesse Waters, Fox News battling against ABC News and Mary Bruce.
I think it is for asking the question about to

ask him a question? What are you thinking? Martha Stewart,
Aaron Rodgers, all those thanks, turning over to the Magical

twenty four twenty three Acts had Benson show as your Acts,
your insta, your YouTube and more love hearing from all
of you. I can miss any of the show. Remember
at night we do a wrap up of all of
the day live on the older YouTube right around seven
o'clock Eastern. Appreciate it when you guys joined the program
right here with the Chad Beinton shoe and there's a

(01:29:05):
big controversy about that with Apec Nikki Haley's son calls
for barring naturalized citizens from public office. Nice Pam Bondi,
Jeffrey Epsteinkomi did not go well yesterday, Zorn Mondani, Mark
Kelly f thirty five. Dearborn which is in Michigan, and

(01:29:28):
the craziness that went on there, the uh Dearborn stuff
was interesting. So, you know, an alt right group shows up,
and if you guys know anything about Dearborn, obviously it
is a very predominantly Muslim area in Michigan, and lo

(01:29:51):
and behold, this alt right group shows up and it
just became a shouting match and it was performative, you know,
it was. That's exactly the way I look at so
much of this stuff. It's all performative. What can we
do for clicks? What can we do for likes? How
do we look doing it and the march at You
know what people say, well, would you anti Christian? No? No, no,

(01:30:14):
I'm a Christian. But just the performative nature of stuff
is what drives me crazy. And there is plenty of
performativeness going on a lot of times because of well,
the media and the media being anybody who's got a
camera and social media. It's like the thing we were
talking about earlier, the battle in the world of Maga

(01:30:37):
versus the Republican Party and where do they go from here?
Remember old school conservatives were about what they were about?
What is policy in the new world? On both sides,
It's now how performative can I be? Give me saying
the show, grab the podcast. This is the Chat Benson.

Speaker 10 (01:30:54):
Show, then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
It's the economy, the economy, the economy. How is the
economy doing? Earnings are coming in yesterday, nervousness within Vidia.

Speaker 20 (01:31:27):
What happened one part of the economy here is clearly booming.
That is artificial intelligence. The mega company there the tech
trade in Vidia, that stockpointing dramatically higher this morning after
it beat expectations. It is nearly a five trillion dollar company.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
Now five trillion.

Speaker 4 (01:31:48):
That is.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
More than the GDP of Germany, the third largest, third
largest economy on the planet. But people are asking questions
about not the earnings per se, how are they going

(01:32:16):
to make money long term in AI across the board,
which is a lot of people are asking the question
about the bubble because there's so much money invested in it.
We're talking trillions, not billions, not hundreds of millions, trillions
of dollars. And the way that they have done some

(01:32:36):
of this stuff, that they've booked things out is made
some people nervous because what they're doing is they're trading stock,
bringing in cash and or stock from other companies and both.
It's just it's a very circular thing. We're going to
talk to a zach Abram tomorrow about this. So that's

(01:32:57):
kind of the worry there about some of this stuff
and the way that it's getting you know, booked as profit,
and so there's some nerves there. There's no doubt, and
I think we all recognize, you know, you know, open
Ay is a perfect example. You have a trillion and
a half dollars of committed investments and you're doing thirteen

(01:33:21):
billion to fifteen billion a year right now, when are
you going to ever have a profit? When is that
ever going to become something? And that's a lot of
what's going on there. When it comes when you hear
about the AI bubble, it's because it's so massive the
investment in this. And understand this when it comes to

(01:33:44):
you know, the the Wall Street side of stuff, which
you know, Trump and everybody likes it out. Look, it's
the greatest of all time. Well, unless you're pulling money
out today. Yeah, there's a little nerves because they seem
like they're getting richer, But a lot of it is
feels like it's built on a house of cards because
at the end of the day, you've got to turn

(01:34:04):
over a profit to pay your shareholders, and if you're
so far away from ever doing that, that's the question
that people have. Now we go from Wall Street to Walmart, the.

Speaker 20 (01:34:16):
Mega retailer reporting sales and earnings that beat expectations, and
they say that customers across the income spectrum are turning to.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
Them and that's a big deal, much like McDonald's knowing
that higher end customers are coming in. That's an interesting
thing that you see in this. Customers of all makes
and models are showing up where normally maybe the upper

(01:34:46):
uppers wouldn't go there, but they are now. So is
there some weakness in the market. Of course there is
a little bit. Let's not forget we've had an unprecedented
run in our economy. You take away COVID, it has
been unprecedented after the debacle of the housing crisis. But

(01:35:09):
the money has been propping up from the government, you know,
as they quantum ees and they throw stuff at it there.
You know, the market itself is addicted to cash. We've
got a lot of stuff that's overpriced, but when you
think about some of the other nations where we are
is yes, it might be overpriced, but we're doing okay.

(01:35:29):
But a lot of it still has to depend on
AI And I still think there's a bubble coming. And
I'm interested about this quarter here when it comes to
Christmas shopping, because I don't feel like it's booming. And
I could be wrong, but I just feel like, you know,
there doesn't seem to be an energy in the market.

Speaker 1 (01:35:48):
At the same.

Speaker 20 (01:35:49):
Time, we've heard some weakness from retailers like Home Depot,
Lows and Target, who have all reported weaker expectations for
the time going forward, and that's because they say of
the uncertainty facing the consumer.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
And the consumer is you and I, and do we
pull back? Are we all steam ahead when it comes
to what's coming? I don't know. It's going to be
really interesting to see because not just when it comes
to this retail side of stuff, but heading into twenty

(01:36:26):
twenty six, what is AI going to do not just
the bubble, but the job market itself. So job numbers
were out today and people are looking at the numbers.
Are they good? Are they bad? Better than I think
some people thought they were going to be. But I'm
gonna be honest with you. Do I trust what's coming

(01:36:49):
out of the White House right now with the jobs,
seeing what we've seen with the firing of the BLS,
you know, So look, I'm not trying to be mean,
just being honest, right, little skepticism. Unemployment was up a

(01:37:09):
little bit. They had about one hundred and twenty thousand jobs,
which was more, but this is September because there is
no October, so this is September. We didn't get anything
for October, and they revised down to negative four thousand
in August, So we'll see what this looked like they're

(01:37:29):
expecting fifty thousand or so. So again, it's you got
a lot of stuff going on. It's not all negative,
but I think you know, people consumer confidence is down low.
There's just this this nervousness going on in the market,
this nervousness going on on Main Street. And I hear

(01:37:51):
from a lot of you who say, yeah, I'm cutting back.
I hear from a lot of you that say you're
unsure about where we're heading in twenty twenty six, and
totally understandable. I'm as well. I mean, I think we're
all in the same boat. And you know, the stock
market is not a barometer. You know, Wall Street, Main
Street have never been further apart than they are today.

(01:38:13):
And you've got seven stocks that essentially have propped up
Wall Street. And if you listen to us on Fridays
and when Zach's here and we talk about all the
things that are going on in the market, and they'll
tell you, you know, it's like you you remove these
seven big seven AI based stocks essentially, and it is

(01:38:37):
a it's a different world. So I think cautiousness is
the word of the day. If we're going to talk
about the economy. We were from the economy to well
Epstein because of you know the stuff.

Speaker 14 (01:38:53):
The Justice Department now has thirty days to follow through
and release the files, but that does not guarantee that
the files will be made public. Lawmakers now warning the
administration not to cherry pick the files, but release them
as Congress directed. Attorney General Pam Bondi refusing to explain
how this will proceed and what if anything will be released.

Speaker 2 (01:39:15):
I don't think we're gonna get everything. Oh, I know
we're not, but I don't think we're gonna get you know,
it's gonna be one of those things where there's gonna
be a lot of anticipation and this is this is
just me, you know, talking to people in DC, and
it's gonna be like that meal, that anticipation, like we

(01:39:36):
got this anticipation for this meal, this anticipation, it's this thing.
And then I think we're gonna go. I don't know
if that was worth it. And remember this should be
When they made it about politics, it changed everything, right
when when Trump started calling it a hoax, When when
they made it about the conspiracy, and you know, and

(01:39:56):
when it became to the point where it's about team winning,
it's not about justice. Things got a little derailed, but
I still feel like we're going out to a super
fancy dinner. We're going to find out it was It
wasn't worth it.

Speaker 15 (01:40:08):
It was.

Speaker 14 (01:40:10):
In his post, the President claims he was the driving
force behind the bill's passage, but the White House went
to great lengths to prevent Congress from ever voting on it,
and Trump could release the files at any time, the
President only offering his support for the bill once it
was clear Republicans on the Hill were going to defy
him and vote to release the files over his objections,

(01:40:32):
and that right there.

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
Is a big deal. They defied him and they got
away with it. Trump can't go. W'm in a primary,
all of you. And while he's gone after Marjorie Taylor Green,
she was the one who stood up, was the loudest
and the strongest. You expect it from Massy, but when

(01:40:54):
it comes to you know Marjorie, and you know Nancy
Mason had been very clear Bobert. The pressure on her
was tremendous. But the one that was out in front
of it all was Marjorie, and she took, you know,
the slings and arrows for it. And I think once
people feel they had, you know, safety in numbers, they
all got on board. So I don't think it really

(01:41:16):
was your idea. We'll see, We'll see what happens. You know,
what does it look like in six weeks? Are there
investigations that begin? Are people and it's not about the
naming the names. Everybody says about the name of the names. Yes,
we all want to know everything all the time. It's
about is there going to be justice and in you know,

(01:41:39):
through investigations or is this just going to be one
of those situations where, like I said, we anticipated this
great big dinner and we got me. Oh jeez. Chad

We'll go wrap it up straight ahead. This is the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:43:27):
Deep States, No Deep do dot e the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
If you're gonna travel and you don't have your real
ID and you don't have a passport, you better have
eighteen bucks.

Speaker 9 (01:43:43):
If you're one of the Americans who travels without a
real ID or passport, you might soon have to pay
an eighteen dollars fee to go through security. The TSA
is rolling out a new KIOSK system that will streamline
the process for those who don't have a real ID.
The kiosk will use bio metric technology to identify you
and then allow a TSA security screening officer to let

(01:44:06):
you pass through the security screening checkpoint. If you do
not have a real ID or passport.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
And you better bring eighteen bucks. So does this mean
if I pay the eighteen bucks I'm getting on?

Speaker 9 (01:44:17):
The TSA says that using this new kiosk doesn't guarantee
you'll be able to pass through the security screening checkpoint.
It must be able to positively identify you using another
form of ID or your biometrics.

Speaker 2 (01:44:30):
If you've got my biometrics right, if you get my fingerprint,
how much more do you need? Well, we need the
little thing right, the little star on your thingy. That's
what I need, Chad, Chad, Any of those thing with
the Star Need Chad Patriot Act. Speaking of that, the

(01:44:54):
Senate during the government shutdown, when they they passed their bill,
they slipped in the provision where they could sue for
each time their phone was tapped up to five hundred
thousand dollars per time, and the House said no, they passed.

(01:45:20):
They passed it on the original just to get the
government open again. But then they killed it and repealed it,
which is good because why should you be able to
sue when the average American who's been spied on doesn't? Right,

(01:45:46):
we don't and you vote for this crap all the
time when it comes to the Patriot Act, So why
should you get to And thank god the House did
something where they said no. That's in now. Speaking of
traveling though, if you guys haven't heard bears, there is

(01:46:08):
a warning two Americans if you're traveling two Japan, be careful.

Speaker 12 (01:46:17):
A grizzly warning to tourists in Japan as the country
deals with a surge in bear attacks. According to Japan's
Public Broadcasting Network, a record two hundred and twenty people
have been injured since April. Officials say at least thirteen
people killed. Seven of those deaths in October alone, as
the animals prepare for hibernation.

Speaker 15 (01:46:37):
Bear population has increased dramatically in Japan. I mean there
are now I believe, over forty thousand Asiatic black bearers
throughout Japan.

Speaker 12 (01:46:45):
Bears have been spotted in populated areas across the northern
part of the country, including inside this supermarket and outside
a nursery school.

Speaker 15 (01:46:53):
As that population increases, combined with the population of people
increasing and going into these habitats, you're going to have
the conflicts.

Speaker 2 (01:47:01):
Yeah, there's more than a few conflicts, and it has
been crazy. They've called in the military. I mean, they've
issued a warning to travelers be careful. And if you
guys know anything about Japan, it's like the safest place
you can go. There's like virtually no crime there, unless,
of course, you're a human and you're tasty.

Speaker 12 (01:47:20):
Just last week, the US State Department is warning US
visitors to the region that there was a bear siding
at a park across from the US consulate in Saparo,
And they're really urging Americans to follow these helpful tips.
They're pretty straightforward, a full screen. They're saying, Number one,
avoid the area or walking alone in areas of bear sidings,
to be aware of your surroundings, and three report sightings

(01:47:42):
to local authorities. And whether it's in Japan or the US.
I think right now we're on how to prevent a
bear attack, but whether it's in Japan or the US,
the expert in that piece is saying, these are some
of the things you can do, and I'll pull them
up once again. Make a lot of noise, make yourself big,
never turn your back and run, and never ever feed
a bear, who added that bears are actually not inherently

(01:48:04):
violent or malicious. They're just trying to survive.

Speaker 2 (01:48:07):
They're just trying to survive, and they're going to do
that by eating you. By the way, the Asianic black bear,
which this is, it's not a giant bear, right, so
it's not a polar bear, it's not a It is
a fairly decent sized bear. But you're looking at you know,

(01:48:27):
when it's on all fours, maybe three feet to three
and a half, and the males go from a buck
thirty to about four hundred. The females go from about
eighty eight to about two eighty. So just put it
out there if you're going to Japan, not just Godzilla,
but Bears three two, three, five, twenty four to twenty
three at Shedbenson Shows your Acts, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook

(01:48:49):
and more. Solid Fund Show today right here on the
Chadminson show Man. That was cool. We did so much right.
We didn't even talk about the fact that they think
now that the old Raccoonski can be domesticated, they're domesticating themselves.
I mean, this is what we've gotten to people. Bears
in Japan attacking people and trash pan does want to

(01:49:10):
be your friends. I tell you what that is crazy.
