Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show, the government shut down.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
To forty one. So is it over? Finally, is our
great misery over? Are they going to get together and
come to the table, get everything sorted out in the
next day or so, vote on it for real, because
this is not over even though the Senate has voted,
but it looks like the nightmare is close to ending.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
The motion upon reconsideration is agreed to.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Five Democrats joining Republicans for the sixty vote hurdle to
begin debate in the morning. They did so on a
simple promise by Republicans to hold a vote later on
healthcare demands. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders called him at a
horrific mistake, explaining why she voted yay. Nevada's editor ca
we're in Cortes Masjo.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
I expect Republicans to be at the table in the
next few weeks. I expect the White House to be
at the table, and if they do choose not to
come to the table, they can own the disastrous premium
increases that will continue to rise.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well, let's just slow a role there. I want to
say this over and over again. The remember this is
a you thing. When it comes to Obamacare. So before
you go and blame the Republicans for everything with Obamacare,
the reality is this is a Democrat nightmare because you
guys created Obamacare. Zero vote from Republicans. Let's pass it

(01:39):
so we can see what's in it. This is lands
on you. Now. Democrats know this lands on them, so
they're trying to shift. Everybody's trying to shift blame. The
reality is, though Republicans, you've got to figure something out.
You have to figure something out. Both sides need to

(01:59):
come together, get their heads out of their butts and
figure something out because we as Americans can't do it
because you, as the government, have gotten into healthcare to
the point where not a lot is going to happen
from the average person to try to fix the health
care issue because we're not involved. You've taken it over

(02:23):
and you've caused this chaotic nightmare of ridiculous amounts of
subsidies needed to even somewhat afford a card, not healthcare.
A card that says you have insurance that you can
go here see your primary care physician for X amount

(02:44):
of minutes and hope and pray that eventually, if you
need real health care, you're only going to have to
I don't know, barely go bankrupt in some cases with
a fifteen thousand dollars deductible. So settle down Democrats by
blaming it all on the Republicans. Now, just because this
has happened, as I said earlier, doesn't mean it's done

(03:04):
in dusted.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
Last night's deal does not mean the government is open.
Senators still have to finalize the bill and the House
still needs to approve it, a process that could take days.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's hard to try to depend on other people to
help you.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
But the deal now provides imminent relief for the millions
of people on Snap food assistance going without benefits, and
for air travelers dealing with thousands of flight cancelations because
of unpaid air traffic controllers calling out sick.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, and it's been a nightmare. I've told you guys.
You know the crap we're going through trying to get
our daughter home. And yesterday was a day where tons
of stuff was canceled here in Nashville and across the country,
delay after delay, and watching people post stuff about their flights,

(03:56):
you know, having the captain come on saying look, I
don't I'm sorry. What we can do about this. This
is not what we want, but the reality is our
hands are tied. We could be sitting here for a
while and then seeing some people get ready to taxi
and then they have to turn around go back to
the terminal because they've canceled the flight. It's nuts. So

(04:18):
it's good that this is moving in the right direction.
And now you've got a bunch of Democrats who crossed
the line, and they're getting blowback as you would expect,
but they looked and they said, got to get something
done at this point in time. Democrats, I'm surprised they blinked.

(04:42):
I gotta be honest with you, I really am surprised
that they blinked. But the ones who did blink, for
the most part, have just won their election and aren't
up for a while. And some of the other ones
they're done, they're retiring. So if this makes sense, let's
just get the government reopen.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
We were in a situation where SNAP recipients were suffering
and there was no guarantee we would ever get to
an ACA solution. Now we've got robust SNAP funding and
a guaranteed vote, not a guaranteed outcome, but a guaranteed
vote on ACA tax credits.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
at the table. And if they do choose not to

Speaker 8 (05:30):
When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you
know what they say to me. They say, why can't
you all just work together to address the problems that
are facing this country. We put the Senate back on
a path to start doing that.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
With the government reopening shortly, Senate Republicans now finally have
to come to the table or make no mistake, Americans
will remember who stood in the way.

Speaker 9 (05:53):
What there is evidence of is the harm that the
shutdown is doing to the country, what is doing to
millions of federal work. But also what is doing took
tens of millions of recipients of snap.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
All right, so let's go through who crossed the line?
The evil as the Democrats what have been called these
Dick Durbin, right, I mean, he is second in charge,
but he's retiring at the end of the term. So
Senator Angus King independent, he's he's left leaning, but he

(06:28):
has also been bipartisan on more than a few occasions.
Independent kind of. He's not like Bernie right, where Bernie's
very independent, but let's be real, he is completely to left.
Angus is more of a libertarian independent but still left
leaning senator to Tim Kaine right. There is one John

(06:51):
Fetterman who has been over and over again voting to
reopen the government. Gene she Heen of New Hampshire, Maggie
Hassan of New Hampshire. You've got both from Nevada, Cortes
Mastro and Jackie Rosen. So they've crossed. It's over at

(07:11):
least for now. Now they can go, they can debate it,
they can argue on the floor and see if they
can get this thing through. I don't think that, and
I don't think the Democrats are. They're going to get
a vote probably for the ACA and it's going to
get shot down. And then, yes, the Republicans are going
to have to live with that. They had the opportunity

(07:32):
to get this done. But what does it mean because
Trump has thrown something out there and we'll discuss this
a little bit later. Do I think that's going to work?

Speaker 10 (07:42):
No?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I don't. I don't there's a lot of things that
can be done when it comes to healthcare, and I
don't think either side has been as serious as they
could be, because it's been flood the market with subsidies
to keep this thing afloat, or talking points and failed

(08:03):
votes that they knew were always going to fail that
were more than show votes when it came to the
Republicans voting to get rid of the ACA in Obamacare
in the past, and since they've had the opportunity to
do some more of this, it's been more or less well,
we're going to do this, and we're going to open
up this, and we're going to do that, and we're
going to it's going to be about competition and the

(08:23):
usual stuff that is talking points. It's not actually real. Hey,
this is the plan, So we'll see did Trump win,
did Trump lose? That's what everybody wants to know.

Speaker 11 (08:36):
To go back to the original sort of part of
this conversation of whether he is a.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Good deal maker, I in a way.

Speaker 11 (08:42):
It seems like the president is kind of getting what
he wanted. Forty days ago, when all of this started,
he was out there saying that, oh, this is all
about Democrats trying to give health care to a legal immigrant.
He just said that to reporters moments ago, repeated that
refrain the Democrats had actually very successfully pushed back against.
Then there's all this energy in the week of the election.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
On Tuesday, the President made.

Speaker 11 (09:04):
Remarks saying basically, wow, Republicans are being harmed by all
of this, acknowledging that he was on his back foot
and now here he is winning again.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
How do we do it?

Speaker 12 (09:15):
Democrats?

Speaker 13 (09:16):
I don't understand how a democratic center goes.

Speaker 14 (09:18):
Wow, we won't really big Let me cape now, I
don't understand.

Speaker 12 (09:21):
That makes no.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Sense to me.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I think a lot of people feel that way if
you're on the Democratic side, But I think they're looking
up going this is we're heading into a time where
we need to think about the people and not the party. Plus,
as I said, some of them, for the most part,
just one election, and others are retiring. So if you

(09:46):
won last year, you still have five years to go. People,
there'll be so much drama in between now and then
that this will be a blip on the other side
of it. If you're retiring, you can finally go, Okay,
this is about the people. Can do the right thing here,
get this thing reopened. Let me know to think three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chet Benci Show's your

(10:07):
Extra Insta YouTube and more. Meanwhile, it is cold throughout
the Midwest, including into parts of the South. Currently it's
thirty one degrees where I'm at. It was seventy one
on Saturday. Currently it's thirty one. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 15 (10:28):
The big weather story today the Arctic blast that will
extend it from the Great Lakes all the way down
to the Gulf Coast. We're talking high temperatures today in
the thirties Chicago, Louisville. Hi's only in the middle forties
in a place like Montgomery, Alabama.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, And it's going to
be this way for a few days, and then by
the weekend we'll be back to normal temperatures throughout parts
of the country. I was watching a little while ago
highlights from the soccer game. So the Canadian Premier League,
which is like their version of the MLS somewhat played

(11:04):
their championship yesterday. Go just look at the weather and
what they played it. It is insane, truly. Is we
talk a little bit more about this, A lot of
stuff you get to today. Obviously more on the shutdown.
Also healthcare. The reality of what this is going to
cost is starting to hit people, and if the Republicans

(11:27):
don't come up with something Trump thinks he has. We'll
talk a little bit about that, among other things. Reach
out to us across all of our social media. We
love hearing from all of you. Plus today is today.

This is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (13:12):
New mortgage? What way do you hear? This? Very interesting?
But I'll say no, But do I understand what they're
trying to do? Yes? If you guys didn't hear this.
Trump floated something yesterday about mortgage rates.

Speaker 16 (13:25):
A longer fixed rate mortgage with lower monthly payments, but
would also create a higher total cost because of all
that interest over five decades. Take a four hundred thousand
dollars loan at six percent interest. Under a thirty year mortgage,
the monthly payment would be just shy of twenty four
hundred dollars. Under a fifty year loan, it drops to
just over twenty one hundred, a savings of nearly three

(13:45):
hundred dollars a month, But over time that savings is
erased by a much larger interest bill because while the
total interest on a thirty year loan would be about
four hundred and sixty three thousand dollars, the interest on
a fifty year loan would total more than eight hundred
and sixty thousand.

Speaker 17 (14:00):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
No, Now, the thought is you're not going to be
in that home forever, So you're going to be in
that home for a certain amount of time and then
you're going to move on, and this will help younger
people get into homes. You want to know what's going
to help younger people get into homes. Figuring out what
to do with the down payment. A lot of people
out there can afford the mortgage. Coming up with one

(14:21):
hundred thousand dollars, that's a bit much. That's a big issue.

Speaker 16 (14:25):
The move could potentially kickstart the now stagnant real estate market.
Homes are currently seeing the lowest turnover rate in thirty years,
and the median age of first time home buyers just
hit an all time high of forty years old.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Forty years old. Now, not everybody's thrilled by this, understandable,
but the reality is the cost. It's funny when I
talk to people who are interested in buying homes who
are younger, and by younger, I mean in their thirties,
late twenties, early thirties. If it wasn't for their parents
helping them, in some cases, there'd be no way they

(14:59):
could afford a home. They can afford the payment, they
can afford all the other things to go with it,
but coming up with that one hundred thousand dollars chunk,
it's just it's a bridge too far for him.

Speaker 16 (15:12):
Many, including long time allies of President Trump, are not
on board with the idea, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green saying quote,
it will ultimately reward the banks, mortgage lenders, and homebuilders
while people pay far more in interest over time and
die before they ever pay off their home in debt forever,
in debt for life.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's also a possibility now again, they'll spend it. Look,
you're not supposed to live in this home forever. This
is that first kind of starter home. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show with your actu, insta, YouTube and more. Let me
know what you think about this and everything else right
here in the Chad Benson Show. But still you look

(15:52):
at the numbers. It's insane. And we're doing this already
with cars. They're going out now and you know it
used to be well, you're gonna get sixty months. Now
it's seventy two eighty four thousand dollars payments. Just insane. Meanwhile,

(16:12):
the Trump train of Barden continues today. He pardoned several
people who were allies accused of trying to overturn twenty
twenty election, including Mark Meadows. Right, he's the former chief
of staff, Rudy Giuliani. Sidney Powell, remember her, she was
going to release the Kraken that was my favorite. By

(16:34):
the way, no Kraken was ever released and or harmed
in the making of her bs. Oh jeez. Ched John Eastman,
another lawyer who the lot with Sidney if I'm correct, Uh,
he pushed plans to keep Trump in power. Oh my
goodness me, just a bunch of clowns. Rudy. You know,

(16:59):
I go back to the whole thing with Rudy Giuliani.
When you think about it, there was a guy who
was the mayor of the world after nine to eleven,
and he eventually became a caricature in such a way
that he ended up being sued accusing people of stuff,

(17:22):
losing money, virtually going bankrupts, and just just a caricature
of incompetence. Sad three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your ex your
instant of you missed the show? Makes you've got that podcast?

Speaker 18 (17:38):
This is the Chad Benson, jow Son Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (18:03):
The government shut down on its way to being over.
Over over that being said, not over yet, but several
Democrats cross the line want this thing done and get
back to work, and some people are pissed. They are
I mean, you know, six days ago you won quite handily,

(18:26):
and it wasn't just that you won in some blue
areas or blue states. You won in a major way,
pulling away and crushing the opponents, and yet six days
later you're like, nah, we got to get back to work.

Speaker 19 (18:44):
In the end, Senate Democrats backing away from their key
demand extending expiring Obamacare subsidies so health insurance premiums don't
rise for millions, but Senator Bernie Sanders insisting the party
is giving in too soon.

Speaker 20 (18:56):
If this vote succeeds, all but twenty million Americans are
going to see at least a doubling in their premiums
in the Affordable Care Act.

Speaker 19 (19:10):
And other Democrats leaving the chamber clearly upset.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, they were pissed again six days ago.

Speaker 12 (19:19):
Where were you?

Speaker 2 (19:21):
You're winning? You thought they dig in more, But moderates,
people who are retiring have said enough is enough. It's
time to get back to work.

Speaker 21 (19:30):
How this fight will and must continue. Democrats must fight
because of millions of millions of families.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Will lose health care coverage.

Speaker 21 (19:39):
We must fight because children who are dying of cancer
will not get health care coverage. We must fight because
a senior citizen cannot afford to pay twenty five thousand
dollars a year just for health insurance. We must fight
to keep millions from financial ruin and make no mistake
about it. The American people know who is inflicting this

(20:03):
healthcare trauma on them, Donald Trump and the Republicans.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Now, I'm going to say this over and over again.
Did the Republicans come up with the ACA? They did not.
Did the Republicans come up with Obamacare subsidies, make those
subsidies larger during COVID and decide not to make them permanent.
They did not. Those were the Democrats that did that.

(20:36):
So that being said, Republicans better figure something out, though,
because one thing's for sure if they don't start to
participate in figuring out how to bring down the cost
of something that government created out of control. Price. And
I always draw a parallel between go look at what
happened when government got really involved with college, in the

(21:00):
cost of college with through the roof, and the same
thing with the medical world. Now, what are they planning
on doing? Trump truth or tweeted or whatever the hell
it is? Something this weekend about that leader Jeffers.

Speaker 22 (21:14):
President Trump floated what he believes as a potential solution
to this online. Let me read it to you. He says, quote,
I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the hundreds of
billions of dollars currently being sent to money sucking insurance
companies in order to save the bad healthcare provided by
Obamacare be sent directly to the people so that they

(21:35):
can purchase their own, much better healthcare. Would you ever
support giving subsidies directly to the American people instead of Obamacare.

Speaker 13 (21:44):
Well, we have a broken healthcare system, but the Affordable
Care Act has been part of actually providing health insurance
to tens of millions of Americans. Of course, there's always
opportunity to improve current policy that exists. Publicans aren't operating
in good faith as it relates to doing anything to
actually make health care more affordable, and we've seen that

(22:06):
repeatedly over the last several weeks. Now, if Donald Trump
is changing his tune and is actually willing to sit
down and negotiate a bipartisan path forward, of course we
are interested in doing that. We've been making that point
for the last several weeks.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
So.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Trump's America First health Care plan emphasizes giving states more
flexibility in how they design health care plans, waivers to
manage premiums. He wants to expand alternatives like direct primary care,
health savings accounts, and health reimbursement arrangements rather than going
towards federal programs. He's also proposed empowering patients to price

(22:47):
transparency so they can shop for care, arguing that increased
competition will lower the cost, which is absolutely true except
for one thing, and this is what people don't knows.
You would have to have a federal plan for this,
because the states themselves handle insurance in their state different

(23:12):
than the one next to you. So no matter where
you are right the state next to you, they have
their own commission. They're going to handle things their own way.
And because of that, you've got this issue where they've
already said that you can states can work together to
increase competition and go across state line through a bomblic

(23:33):
and nobody does it because it's impossible. Too many rules,
too many regulations. I'm gonna do it my way, you're
gonna do it your way, and that'll be that. So
you'd have to almost have a federal like plan in
place to see this. As we said last week, I
believe most people want a high deductible, oh my god

(23:58):
situation right where if it goes south, yeah you might
be paying forty or fifty, you're not going to go bankrupt.
They're going to cover the rest. But for the most part,
that's what they want. With the opportunity then to go
out and get primary care, whether it is through you know,
direct primary care or concierge medicine, whatever you want to

(24:20):
call it, where you with a group where you pay
them a monthly subscription. You can go see them whenever
you need to and it is between you and your doctor.
And then in the event that something goes south, that
your other insurance is that disaster like insurance will take
over from there. I think that's what most people want.

(24:42):
Whether or not it's going to happen, I don't know, right,
but the reality is pre existing conditions need to be
protected in some way, shape or form, and maybe that's
the government coming in in that portion. On top of
that being the same amount of money, because I thought
this was always about money. Handing the same amount of

(25:04):
money now to the States just seems like I don't know.
I want to see what it looks like, but I
think we all know what most people want. Let me
know what you're looking for. What do you think three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson
Show is your extra instau YouTube and more. We go
from there to baseball, which has not been Betty Betty

(25:25):
good for a lot of people. There are issues in
a baseball and this is another nightmare for pro sports gambling.

Speaker 23 (25:35):
According to a federal indictment, when the Guardians played the
Mets in twenty twenty three, claus A told betters his
pitch would be faster than ninety four point ninety five
miles per hour better. I and several of the betters
won approximately twenty seven thousand dollars wagering that exact throw. Then,
as recently as June twenty seventh of this year, the
indictment alleges Class eight and Ortez collaborated on an alleged

(25:57):
plot for Ortiz to throw a ball for his first
pitch and the third inning against the Saint Louis Cardinals
on an exchange for seven thousand dollars from a better.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Seven thousand dollars. So Ortiz signed a minor league contract
last year where he got I think seven hundred and
fifty grand guaranteed or a year, and classe Is in
the midst of a five year contract spaying him twenty
million dollars and you guys decided that this was a

(26:27):
good idea for what twelve grand.

Speaker 24 (26:31):
These sports betters would make, according to the indictment, fifty
eight thousand dollars on one pitch by wagering that it
was going to be a ball below the certain speed.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's that's insane. Those are the betters. You guys are
getting seven and five grand.

Speaker 24 (26:48):
What prosecutors say. This is yet another example of what
critics of legalized sports betting have long feared that the
games would become corrupt.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
This is an interesting thing, and again I'm gonna give
you my take on this. Do you think this wasn't
happening before legalized sports betting or do you think this
was happening because as we have seen over the last
several weeks and months, it is the gambling places right

(27:22):
who are bringing this situation in their sport to attention
of the FBI immediately because they don't want it either.
They don't. But if you think this hasn't happened before
and wasn't happening, you're fooling yourself.

Speaker 24 (27:40):
In one case outline in the indictment, class is allegedly
texting a better contact during the game before he comes
out to pitch and he texts him according to the
indictment ready and the response comes back on his phone,
which is against Major League rules. Players aren't supposed to
use their phone. The response comes back.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
But of course for twelve grand I again twelve g's
was it worth the twelve g's Now, you don't know
how much more could have been involved throughout time? This
is what they're just investigating. But still, and this goes
back a few years, so what happened in between we'll
find out. But for twelve grand really good god three, two, three, five, eight,

(28:21):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your acts,
your Insta, YouTube and more love hearing from all of you.
BBC is a hot mess. Their CEO just resigned because
of a absolute embarrassing catastrophe in the world of journalism

(28:41):
where they were caught out with their pants down. Let's
just say, and she should resign, along with several people
who were involved in the lies that were told about
Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Ever of you.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Found CBC, I would like to say, is and.

Speaker 11 (29:00):
The privilege of my career to serve as the CEO
of BBC News and to work with our brilliant team
of journalists.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
I stepped down over the weekend.

Speaker 25 (29:10):
Because the box stops with me.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
I'd like to make one thing very clear.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
BBC News is not institutionally biased.

Speaker 14 (29:18):
That's why it's the world's most trusted news provider.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Well, I will tell you this. You're Director General Tim Davey.
He's out. That was Debor Turners. She's resigned over what
you ask over taking a Donald Trump clip and twisting it.

(29:44):
So this is the clip they played on a BBC documentary.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
We're going to.

Speaker 26 (29:51):
Walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with
you and we fight.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
We fight like hell oh Trump. This is what was
actually said.

Speaker 12 (30:02):
We're gonna walk down to the Capitol.

Speaker 9 (30:08):
And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen
and women.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah you lied, you lied, you got caught. And having
lived in Britain for a long time, I will tell
you this, the BBC is one of those places where
they always felt there above reproach right like you go there,
It is very oh hello there, and it's very yes
and look at us and our ties and we look
you go because it's great on your resume. It is.

(30:37):
It is the place to be. You know, there's several
news organizations around the world that work you work for
and there's just something a little bit different about them,
and the BBC maybe at the top of that list.
And you got yourself in a position where you've damaged
your reputation. And this isn't the first time over the

Irreverence. Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Fifty years ago today, something took place?

Speaker 12 (33:05):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
A mystery those old Great Lakes? Eventually a song about
a tragedy.

Speaker 14 (33:14):
The wreck stunning locals.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
It's a grim day.

Speaker 9 (33:17):
When I got home from school, I heard that the
Edmund Fitzgerald was singing or Head sank.

Speaker 14 (33:22):
A year after the sinking of folk song recounting the tragedy.

Speaker 26 (33:26):
Later Let's get out to say.

Speaker 14 (33:33):
Gordon Lightfoot turning the tail of the ship into legend
with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a song that
re emerged in recent years on social media, educating a
new generation about what happened on November tenth, nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Well, what the hell happened on November tenth, nineteen sixty five?
How did the Edmund Fitzgerald go down?

Speaker 14 (33:57):
A surprise storm catching the crew gord fifteen foot waves
and gale force winds mattering these seven hundred and twenty
nine foot cargo ship before knocking out radar and dragging
her into the depths.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
All twenty nine people on board perished. How again she
went down without a distress signal is one of those mysteries.
The last radio message they sent they said, we're holding
our own, We're holding our own, but that was it.

(34:35):
The wreck is located seventeen miles northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan.
It's sitting in water about five hundred and thirty feet below,
and there are all kinds of theories of why there
wasn't any distress signal. One had to do with the
flooding of the cargo. Structural issues as well from the

(34:58):
long haul and design may have been more vulnerable to
bending its stress. Another one of the things they talk
about is the weather wasn't predicted to be that bad
and they underestimated it. It's a mystery, there's no doubt
about that. The Edmund Fitzgerald fifty years ago today she
sunk three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty

of course if you miss any show, grad the podcast
right here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our
number two of the program. A lot of stuff to

(35:42):
get to. Still more on the government shutdown, not so
shutting down just yet, still there but not quite as
shutting down. Also, we're going to talk about uh Mondani
the reaction overreaction by both sides over his election, which
I think is fun. Talk a little bit about that
as well, and what's going on in the sedan which

(36:04):
isn't being talked about but needs to be talked about. Absolutely.
It is a horror. It is ethnic cleansing, it is
all of the things. And where the hell is the
un three two, three, five, four twenty three at chat
Benson shows your extra in staff hour number two straight ahead,
Chad Benson.

Speaker 17 (36:21):
Check.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
It's over, kind of sort of it not yet but
getting there. It's close. Talking about the government shutdown, it's interesting.
I just saw an article in the New York Times
said why would the Democrats give up their winning? Why
did they give in? This isn't about your side or
their side or my side. It should be about the people,

(37:16):
which is my side. That's the people that need to win,
and they weren't winning. Neither side was winning neither side.
And the reason this could get done is because retirements
and people who were just voted in. That's the reason
that several Democrats crossed over and said, all right, let's

(37:39):
get this done.

Speaker 19 (37:40):
In the end, Senate Democrats backing away from their key
demand extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, so health insurance premiums don't
rise for millions, but Senator Bernie Sanders insisting the party
is giving in too soon.

Speaker 20 (37:53):
If this vote succeeds, over twenty million Americans go to
see at least a doubling in their premiums in the
Affordable Care Actor.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
And other Democrats leaving the chamber clearly upset, angry. No,
nobody was winning, because America was the one that was losing. Well, Chad,
we're trying to save money over here. We don't want
it legals to get this, and we don't want this
to happen, and we don't want people not to have healthcare.
Nobody was winning. Okay, it is first of all, can

(38:30):
we just also go back for a second to think
this is a cr This is a continuing resolution, This
is not a budget. This is being kicked out to
the end of January, and we'll probably be right back
at it. This does guarantee snap benefits through twenty twenty
six and that they'll come to some sort of conversation

(38:52):
about healthcare and the subsidies. But this is not a
win for America. This is government doing their bare minimum
to get crap done. That's it, and it is frustrating.
Because we deserve better than this, But several had the
crossover to get it done.

Speaker 7 (39:13):
We were in a situation where SNAP recipients were suffering
and there's no guarantee we would ever get to an
ACA solution. Now we've got robust SNAP funding and a
guaranteed vote, not a guaranteed outcome, but a guaranteed vote
on ACA tax credits.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
at the table, and if they do choose not to

Speaker 8 (39:41):
When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you
know what they say to me. They say, why can't
you all just work together to address the problems that
are facing this country. We put the Senate back on
a path to start doing that.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
With the government reopening shortly, Senate Republicans now finally have
to come to the table or make no mistake, Americans
will remember who stood in the way.

Speaker 9 (40:04):
What there is evidence of is the harm that the
shutdown is doing to the country, what is doing to
millions of federal workers. But also what is doing to
tens of millions of recipients of snap.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
So who crossed the line, Dick durb and, Tim Kaine,
Catherine Cortez, Jackie Rosen, Jean Sheen, Angus King, and you've
had the likes of Federman you know already there. Yeah,
healthcare costs is going to go up. Trying to blame
the Republicans for Obamacare is asinine and stupid. Okay, that
is the reality that is so stupid because they didn't

(40:39):
come up with it. It's not worked. It isn't. So
let's settle down on that, because this whole bizarre situation
where they're like, oh, well, you know what, now that
this is happening, you guys own this. Now, both of
you own it. Republicans, you need to figure it out.
What your plan is. And we played a little bit
of it last there. We'll talk about it a little

(41:00):
bit more. But Democrats, if you have to continually fund
this thing to the tune of one hundred billion plus
dollars a year to keep it somewhat moving and alive,
that doesn't seem to be the thing that you thought
it was going to be. Some areas have done okay,

(41:21):
but for the most part, it's been a disaster. Those
just aren't even my words. Go look at the Washington
Post and they're scathing up ed about this thing didn't work.
So yeah, both sides are gonna have to do better.

Speaker 12 (41:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
The question is when we'll all be said and done,
because just because the Senate doesn't now, what has to
happen is that to go back to the House, they'll
debate it, then it'll pass, and then it'll go to
Donald Trump, then he will sign it and we move
on from there. So we'll see when this happens. My

(41:56):
assumption is probably by Wednesday Thursday, though this gets done,
which is what needs to happen. We need to get
this done. We need to get people working, paid life
back to normal. This isn't going to set us back
to normal immediately. There's still tons of delays going on,
more and more issues at the airports.

Speaker 27 (42:19):
For a fourth consecutive day, the FAA has throttled down
the country's airspace capacity by ordering airlines and cargo carriers
to slash their schedules.

Speaker 14 (42:27):
So you don't know exactly what you're going to get
the flights or you can be on time.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
So it definitely creates a little stress.

Speaker 27 (42:34):
For Austin traveler Mark.

Speaker 8 (42:36):
Mitchell, everything's up in the air.

Speaker 27 (42:38):
Except the nearly two thousand flights that have been canceled today.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
And Secretary Duffy, Transportation Secretary, said, Look, just because we
get back this week where it's go again, doesn't mean
that this is going to return to normal before Thanksgiving.
So there's going to be more than a few issues
in the coming days and week with travel.

Speaker 28 (42:58):
And if we.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Already know travel is stressful enough, three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three, atch had been to church,
your extra insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more.

Speaker 29 (43:08):
As of this moment November tenth, in his first term,
he had pardoned exactly one person. Now, of course he's
pardoned well over fifteen hundred, most of whom those that
actually took part in the attack on the Capitol on
January sixth. The pardon attorney Ed Martin, who announced these
pardons had earlier this year, said in a post on

(43:29):
X no maga left behind. So the other trend you
see here is Donald Trump pardoning those who supported him.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
That's right. Trump today pardoned full, complete, unconditional for dozens
of individuals who were part of the twenty twenty overturning
or trying to overturn the election, including the likes of Giuliani,
Sidney Powell, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, and a bunch of others.

Speaker 29 (43:58):
Two of them, interestingly enough, Jenna Ellis and Kenneth Cheeseboro,
had actually pled guilty to the charges. And we're cooperating
in some of those state cases against the people that
were charged at the state level.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
So not a shocker. Trump, pardon them. No maga left
behind Giuliani. He has pardoned Budon me. Oh that guy.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
I just.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Talked about it a little bit last hour, the press
conference that he did at the Four Seasons in Arizona.
If you guys don't remember it, he does a press
conference at the Four Seasons. He thinks it's the Four
Seasons Hotel. It's not. It's the Four Seasons Lawn and

(44:47):
Garden Center. And it's not a lawn and garden center
where you go there and inside they've got all of
this amazing stuff that you're looking at it like I
like to buy this this, you know, it's like one
of those places that's got every plant you could think
of in tree and No, it's a lawn and garden center.
But the reality is it's a place that mows lawns

(45:09):
and this is their warehouse where they keep their stuff
and it's in an alley. How embarrassing was that? Oh
my goodness me, it's the economy stupid. Our prices up
or prices down? Do you feel that things are more expensive?
Depends on what side of the aisle you're on.

Speaker 30 (45:28):
Margie Taylor Green, I think she's great, but I don't
know what she's talking about. Walmart just came out and
said that grocery prices are down over twenty percent this
time last year. They said Thanksgiving, and that was a
CEO of Walmart. Amazon said that the trinklets, the things
you were buying last year for Christmas are down. We
have inflation that was at a high of nine point

(45:49):
one percent, average of five percent underneath Biden. Today it's
hovering around two point five percent. Energy prices are down
the lowest they've been since President Trump was last in office,
and we know energies that bone of inflation. You can't
make a product, you can't deliver a product without factoring
the energy costs into it, so prices are down. What
is up is protein, which is a lot of people protein,

(46:11):
meaning pork, chicken, and beef.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Okay, our energy prices up or down. Energy prices are up.
Retail electricity prices, for instance, up about five percent year
over the year. Oh that's right. That's a big deal.
And a lot of it has nothing to do with
Trump and this. You know aging, you know electricity grids.
You've also got big demand and we're going to touch

(46:35):
on that a little bit later. Because of the AI
centers that are about to go in across the country
in certain areas, they are already in place, and they
are sending prices through the roof fuel cost up down.
You know, Trump comes out and says it's two dollars
a gallon. I don't know where he's driving, but it

(46:56):
ain't two dollars a gallon here. And as far as
that Walmart percent cheaper, whatever that Trump said it was,
it's got a lot less stuff in it, and it's
got a lot of stuff in the latest Walmart version
of their Thanksgiving that is great value. That's the store brand,
it's not the name brand, so that's going to be cheap.

(47:18):
I'd just like to keep it straight here with you. Okay. Continue.

Speaker 30 (47:21):
The President made a huge step at that the other day,
if you saw a true social post.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Yeah, he said, he's going to look.

Speaker 30 (47:26):
At the meat packers because the meat packing industry is consolidated,
and three of the top four meat packers are four
and owned, two of them out of Brazil, one of
them in China. That's a national security issue. Plus the
difference between what we sell I'm gonna rancher myself, what
we sell cattle for, what we call on the hoof
or feed cattle, and what their retail is.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
There's such a huge gap. It's the biggest gap we.

Speaker 30 (47:47):
See in any industry from a product being made to
the product of retail. That's where the president's focus is.
But if you look at milk, you look at bread,
you look at eggs, which are a lot of people
use as kind of a a dream point. All those
prices are down, and and energy costs, Like I said,
I'll repeat myself, it's down too. We can tell at
the pump.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
It's down a little bit. But last year was what
three ten, now it's three oh five. So yes, some
things are down, but a lot of things are still
up and people aren't feeling it. And this is what
I continue to tell the Republicans Stop telling people that
their opinions, their feelings, their reality is wrong. That doesn't help.

(48:30):
That's what Biden did and that's why it hurt him
so bad. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

Speaker 1 (49:49):

Speaker 2 (49:51):
For all the chaos going on over here, and there's
plenty of it at times, it is minimal comparatively to
the rest of the globe. Now, we've talked about it
a lot of other haven't what's going on. Sudan is
as bad as Palestine has been, and it has been awful.
Nigeria horrific, Yemen just awful, But Sudan is a whole

(50:16):
another thing.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
The massacres occurred in the city of Al Fasher after
it fell to a militia called the Rapid Support Forces.

Speaker 31 (50:26):
We know they executed civilians because they posted videos of it,
shooting men and boys, and witnesses say more than four
hundred patients and families in a hospital. Look, this is
ethnic slaughter. Arab fighters killing African tribal Sudanese. After some
women and children were allowed to flee, Al Fasher was

(50:49):
cut off with no phones or internet, but a team
at Yale has been watching from space. Natti Raymond heads
the Humanitarian Research Lab.

Speaker 32 (51:00):
We use a lot of what's called photogrammetry photogrammetry.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Why, because we want to take a look down there
and see what's going on the best we can. Again,
you've got this city surrounded just outside of darfour. All
of these people are in there, and here comes this
group to slaughter. There is nothing about this that said
this is about politics. This was simply about killing as
many people as possible in the most horrific way to

(51:28):
send a message.

Speaker 31 (51:30):
That is analyzing satellite photos like this one of a
residential neighborhood and shapes on the ground in pools of red.

Speaker 32 (51:38):
The only explanation we can get is that red color
around an object that is between one point three to
two meters that that is blood.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
So we're looking at a collection of people who've basically
been executed.

Speaker 32 (51:55):
Yes, this is what a massacre looks like in an
urban area where civilians are trapped in their houses.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
And there's nothing, nothing, that anybody in the international world
is doing. And I've said this over and over and
I'm gonna say this again, Why the f do we
have the UN? If the UN is as useless as
it gets, they are doing zero three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at chat Benson show, is
your ex Your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Let me

(52:24):
know what you think. Right here on the Chad Benson Show, right,
they all sit around, they take the money. Right, there's
not even blue helmets there, you know, those guys around
with the blue There's nothing going on. They are absent.
Why do we have the un Why do we have
any of this if you can't even break up you know,
what's the old saying they couldn't break up a cookie

(52:45):
fight at a Girl Scout convention. What is the use
of having that? What is the use if they're going
to do nothing. Meanwhile, here in America, man, it's cool
af outside, so I think sad. We were like seventy
degrees yesterday. Are high here in Nashal's like forty five today.

(53:06):
Oh baby, we could see some snow. But the rest
of the country, in the Midwest, at least, you know what.

Speaker 33 (53:12):
It is, a wintery weather wide out across the Midwest
as Lake Effect snow sweeps cities from Grand Rapids to Burlington,
some areas bracing for up to three inches of snowfall
per hour.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Oh my god, it's just come out of nowhere.

Speaker 33 (53:26):
In Chicago, plows and salt trucks in the streets as
the city braces for up to a foot of snow.
Dozens of school districts in the area closed or delayed today.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Yeah, so today here, this is how wild our swing
is going to be. We're going to be a high
thirty eight, low of twenty three, tomorrow fifty one, and
by Friday we're in the seventies.

Speaker 6 (53:46):
What.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
Yeah, I'm not ready for it. I think it's a
little too early.

Speaker 33 (53:51):
In South Bend, Indiana, the first snowfall coming weeks earlier
than last year. It comes as an arctic blast brings
dangerously cold temperatures to the south. Freezer it's issued in
eleven states as temperatures plummet from Dallas to Savannah.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
But this isn't going to be a long snap. But
still and check on that neighbor, especially if they're a
little bit older. Maybe they're worried about money, so they
may not turn on the heater. Just do that. It's
just a smart thing, checking out our neighbors. If you
miss you the show, shame on you guy. The podcast
this is the Chad Benson Shows. An Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show AI is incredible, but.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Guess what it consumes no, no, no, no, no, no. Energy, water,
you name it, it consumes it and it needs it.
Doesn't mean it's gonna need it forever, but it needs it.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
Now.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
We're talking earlier about the cost of what is energy prices. Well,
energy prices are up, and in some areas they're up tremendously,
and the reason is simple, Especially more rural areas where
there's land, you're seeing giant, huge data centers move in
there and they are pushing the envelope as far as

(55:21):
they can to power everything they can because they need
that power. So the CHAT GPTs of the world, the clauds,
all of these things, right, the gronk and everything that
needs fuel for essentially the body, the heart, the lungs,

(55:42):
the brain, if you will, of all of these ais.
And because of that, you're seeing numbers on electric bills
and everything else go through the roof because of.

Speaker 34 (55:56):
This data center is just a building, a warehouse that's
filled to the brim with servers right with the large
computers that can Typically today they're being used to host
AI calculations to do the work that happens on the
back end when you talk to CHAT, GBT.

Speaker 35 (56:14):
Or CLAUD or Gronk or one of the others.

Speaker 34 (56:17):
Now, these can be built at lots of different scales,
and of course the bigger the center, the more jobs
associated both with constructing it and with staffing it afterwards.

Speaker 35 (56:27):
But there's a lot of your ability in that we're
seeing more.

Speaker 34 (56:29):
And more move towards really really large centers to centralize
all the operations in one place.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Which means that in those places and then around there,
well they'll see a bump potentially in some revenue and
other things. They're going to see a huge bump when
it comes to the cost because the amount of energy
they need is huge.

Speaker 36 (56:52):
Nationwide, there are nearly three thousand data centers and they
can use the same amount of electricity as five to
twenty million households. Hundreds more data centers are currently under
construction or in the planning phase. Real estate company Cushman
and Wakefield tracks proposed data centers across the country and

(57:13):
found they would require seventy nine gigawatts of power at
any given moment. The US would need as much power
as is produced by about forty Hoover dams to meet
that electricity demand.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Forty Hoover dams, and that the way and remember who
is controlling these big giant corporations. No longer throwing millions
or billions at something. Now into the trillions of dollars
that aren't going to fail because there's too much money
involved in it, and the power is so great and

(57:48):
the influence they have is so massive. So they are
setting up situations in and around these cities and areas
where and this is what's incredible. Let's just say it
is a massive heat wave going on, and they're gonna
do blackouts right to rolling blackouts or whatever. Guess who
doesn't get blacked out? The centers. They have writers in

(58:13):
many of these contracts that say, while everybody else may
be in trouble as far as blackout goes, not us.
We will stay on. It's not just about that the electricity,
it's the water, a bunch of other stuff that goes
into this. This is something that many cities are fighting

(58:34):
against because it sounds great. You're gonna bring us jobs
or you're not gonna need jobs forever in the way,
because you're gonna construct it, and then you're going to
have to have chances are, especially in more rural areas,
you're gonna have to bring people in to work these
things because you don't have the infrastructure people wise, to
be able to handle these things. So you're going to
price people out of the market. Their bills are going

(58:54):
to go through the roof, and we're seeing that in
some areas like Virginia, in parts of Virginia where their
bills are through the roof.

Speaker 35 (59:01):
Yeah, so that's a complicated question.

Speaker 34 (59:04):
Best estimates for twenty twenty four are that AI data
centers around the country used something like four percent of
the total electricity consumption of the US. Now we expect
that number to go up year every year as time
goes by. The water is primarily used as part of
a cooling system. So you figure you run that many computers,

(59:25):
you've got to keep them all cold so that they
don't burn out, and so there's water involved then in
running through drawing off that waste heat so that the
center can stay cool and continue running. The water usage
on the center itself is relatively lower. We think maybe
one percent of the total water usage of the US
last year went to cooling data centers. Now that's still

(59:46):
an enormous amount, it's something like seventeen billion gallons, but
it's lesser than the power usage. A lot of the
concern though, is not the usages as a percentage of
the whole country, but that they will be localized in
particular area.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
And that's where people in smaller areas are going to
feel it, and they're going to see massive bumps. And
they're already seeing massive bumps because of this.

Speaker 34 (01:00:14):
So, for instance, in northern Virginia, twenty six percent of
the electricity that Virginia makes is going to data centers
at this point. And so if you're in a community
where most of your power, much of your local water
is going.

Speaker 35 (01:00:26):
To these purposes, that's a big draw on you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Yeah, So think about this, all right, And we're talking
about in small rural areas because you need a decent
amount of land. If you have one building that eats
up twenty six percent of your area's electricity, what do
you think that's going to do? So since February of

(01:00:51):
twenty six, electricity prices have jumped forty percent. That's fourteen
percent higher than the cost of living increase. In some areas,
people are seeing their bills up one hundred percent plus
plus plus. One person said in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, right,

(01:01:14):
a power bill used to run two to three hundred
a month all year round. Now they're paying upwards of
eight hundred dollars a month. That's a massive jump. That's
why I said, and I've continued to say it, fight
these things, but you got to fight them everywhere. And

(01:01:35):
there has to be some sort of situation where the
government starts to realize, maybe we need nuclear to power
some of this stuff, Maybe we need the opportunity to
because we can't say no, we're going to need them,
but are we going to have to spread them out
into much smaller areas where even yes, some residential areas

(01:01:55):
might have to feel a bit of the pain, so
everybody gets a little bit of of a price jump
rather than certain areas just getting completely decimated. It's this
weird thing where this is the future. We need to
recognize that. But how do we balance the world of
today in the cost with the future. Let me know

(01:02:16):
what you think? Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three Atch you had Benson show your acts,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. We pivot from there too,
Tucker Carlson. The battle is still going on between Tucker
and the Conservatives. The MAGA loyalty he's an anti Semite,
he's the worst person ever. He may be the leader

(01:02:41):
of Berkner. Really. No, he's a contrarian. He's a troll
that's quite frankly, likes to think about trolling in a
way that's much different a lot of other people. But
he's also pretty smart dude, and he asked some serious
questions about a lot of different things. Do I think

(01:03:02):
he's right?

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Do I think he's wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
I think he's a little bit of both. Like all
of us, including myself, I'm going to be wrong, I am,
and I'm going to be right. But do I think
he's an anti Semit? I do not. But it's gotten
to the point now where it's on CNN, it's on MSNBC,

(01:03:25):
it's on even Fox, this battle between Tucker Carlson and
the Conservatives and watching them fight over this which side
is which?

Speaker 37 (01:03:33):
And Tucker Carlson used to be the guy in the
bow tie. Tucker Carlson was like the old school kind
of country club Republican and then he became I don't
know what he's like the world's oldest groyper because he
started having on Colla Claust deniers. He started to be

(01:03:55):
the I'm just asking questions, guy, questions like who do
you think was the good guys in World War Two?
You know, really stupid questions. But he's just asking questions.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Yeah, I mean, he's asking questions. Do I think that
Winston Churchill was the bad guy?

Speaker 38 (01:04:15):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Do I think we were the bad guys?

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
I do not.

Speaker 32 (01:04:21):
Do.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
I think there's always a lot more to the story
that we don't know about. Yes, all you have to
do is look at government itself in realize that we
don't always get told the real stuff. But it's also
part entertainment and Tucker's pivot because of what's going on
in Israel and the power that Israel seems to have

(01:04:42):
over us in our politics. That being said, do I
think he's a Nazi? Because I hear that all the time.
You know, Tucker's what did Randy Fine Douche Canoe say
he's the most dangerous anti Semiti? There's some crap like

(01:05:03):
that settle the f down, you know what, pissing people off.
There's some real Nazis out there run around where they're
shaved heads, trying to build their white life in some
camp somewhere. They're trying it real hard to be called
the greatest Nazi in the world right now, And Tucker
came and stole their thunder. I don't think that makes

(01:05:24):
them happy. So insane.

Speaker 37 (01:05:28):
So now we had on this guy, this flenties guy,
and never challenged him. Then the American Heritage Foundation got
involved with the people behind I think the Project twenty
twenty five, the Heritage Foundation. They're a very big Republican group,
and the head of their Heritage Foundation came out and
he attacked the people who were attacking Tucker Carlson for

(01:05:49):
giving him this friendly interview. This guy, Kevin Roberts, headed
the Heritage Foundation. He said, well, we shouldn't attack Kurl Darzin.
When we disagree with a person's thoughts and opinions, we
challenged those ideas and debate. Except Kevin Roberts, whoever the
f you are, That's not what Tucker Carlson did. He
didn't challenge him. So now there's this war in the

(01:06:11):
Republican Party. And I want to ask two questions about that,
and then about which party seems to be having a
bigger problem with anti Semitism, because it seems like both
parties now have an anti Semitic wing. Is that a
wrong assessment.

Speaker 12 (01:06:24):
No, that's a right assessment.

Speaker 25 (01:06:25):
I mean it's like it's like asking Jews, like, where
would you rather go back to Germany or Egypt?

Speaker 12 (01:06:30):
Like both places are.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
Ret Mokowitz there and both sides have an issue. Okay,
now a younger generation that the Democrats have. Their issue
is they became so entrenched with the movement to free
Palestine that much of the rhetoric that they were fed

(01:06:56):
was very much the kind of stuf that would be
fed to anybody who wanted to destroy the Jews in Israel.
On the other side of it, the Republicans issue is
your younger generation. Right, So, like my little brothers and sisters,

(01:07:18):
World War two is so far away from anything that
they can comprehend or see. They have no idea what
any of that is. That is mom and Dad's war,
Grandma and Grandpa's war. What they see as America. First,
they want the money to stay here. They're struggling to
buy homes to have a life, and they look at

(01:07:41):
us pouring billions into a foreign country that seems to
have a hold over us. So that's where that's coming from.
It's not a disdain or hate of Israel. It is
a why do we have to give them money? But
to say that you and I go back to this
over and over again, this becomes a bigger deal in

(01:08:01):
the Republican Party. The ridiculousness of not being able to
question a government of a different nation that we give
billions to is insane. And to say that if you
question that, you are an anti Semite and you hate

(01:08:21):
the Jews is the most asinine thing on the planet.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
This isn't going away, and it's going to get uglier
and uglier. I have a feeling in the future, and
that future is coming very soon. Three two, three, five,

Joe serving up talk radio medium, rare and driffing with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
It's that time of the program. We have a little
bit of fun, learn some stuff if you will from
the youth of America whose vernacular is a little bit
different than yours and mine. You know what time it is.
It's the urban word of the day.

Speaker 12 (01:10:16):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 12 (01:10:23):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
All right, your urban word of the day.

Speaker 7 (01:10:28):
I like this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
You're gonna hear this from your college kids more and more.
All right. Curve killer, curve killer. So a curve killer
is a student who gets really good grades, like on exams,
super like the best, so raising the overall class average.
But because of this, other students might receive the lower

(01:10:50):
grades when the professor grade's on a curve. I'm gonna
use it in a sense. He's a genius. He's totally
a curve killer in our law class. Oh ye, killer
is your urban aword of the day.

Speaker 12 (01:11:02):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Now, you know, we all do know, there's no doubt
about that. Speaking of the youth of America struggling big
time when it comes to life and well things like food.

Speaker 25 (01:11:18):
It's the latest sign of a dining dip across casual
and fast food chains. Chipotle says one hundred k or
less earners and gen Z diners are eating out less,
the CEO telling investors on the company's earnings call. This
group is facing several headwinds, including unemployment, increased student loan repayment,
and slower real wage growth.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Yes, go look at what is happening when it comes
to employment of the young, so say eighteen to like
twenty five, that number is much bigger, and because of that,
there's some serious issues here. The push to see a
lot of change, things like Mandani is very real. We
talk a little bit more about him next hour. But

(01:11:59):
another one of these things, when you look at the
restaurants and you're finding out that the upper middle is
now going in there a lot more than the middle
income earners, shows that maybe the economy is slowing down
a bit. Let me know what to think. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your
Extra Insta YouTube and are right here in the Chad
Benson Show. Coming up our number three of the program,

(01:12:21):
we are going to talk about Zorn Mandani. What is
up with him? Is he dangerous? Is the world coming
to an end because of him? People freaking out about it.
It's kind of hilarious. We're also going to do something
very interesting. Got a great story about the new designer
baby coming to parents near you.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
That is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Scary what they're trying to do with this. I mean,
it's crazy what they're talking about here, and we're we
talking about that among other things. Plus we go out
what's trending a bunch of other good stuff. If you're
missing the show Shaman, you've had the podcast our number
three of the show straight at Chad Benson's.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Is the shutdown over? Is it finally finished? Are we
back to being a whole nation again? As the government
gets back to work? What say you?

Speaker 18 (01:13:44):
The vote was sixty to forty, just enough to end
the filibuster and allow the Senate to begin working on
a spending bill that would keep the government open until
the end of January eight. Democrats sided with Republicans and
infuriated most of their colleagues, who say those who voted
yes got nothing, and GOP leaders are promising to hold
a Senate vote on health insurance subsidies next month, but

(01:14:05):
there's no agreement on what they'll be voting on, and
no guarantee it'll be put on the floor of the house.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
I'd be surprised if that got to the floor of
the house. That's just me. I'd be very surprised if
it did. I think what you got is the best
that you were going to get at this moment in time,
because you decided not to continue on. I don't know
why the Democrats said no. I don't know why the

(01:14:33):
Democrats said now, we're done here. But these six that
joined with the others were able to do so because
several are retiring, some just got voted in so they're
not worried about being voted out next year. And when
you're in that position to do something like that, you're

(01:14:54):
able to do some things that you normally couldn't because
there's very little repercussions in the coming year or so
that's going to land in your lap. So alas here
we are, government looks like it's going to open up. Now,
it's not as simple as that, right like, this is

(01:15:15):
not everybody thinks will know that we've done this, it's open.
Not quite.

Speaker 18 (01:15:18):
A lot still has to happen before the shutdown ends.
The Senate has to take several more votes to insert
new language and a House passed bill to restore funding
to agencies through the end of January. That new language
would also require the reversal of any layoffs conducted by
the administration through the shutdown. Once that bill passes the Senate,
the House would have to come back to DC to
vote on it to send it to the President's desk.

(01:15:40):
His signature would end the shutdown.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Now here's the interesting thing about that. If that happens,
they're going to have to swear in Griholva from Arizona,
who makes two to eighteen. Her vote will allow the
Epstein stuff to get out. And that is going to

(01:16:05):
be very interesting to see if Mike Johnson is willing
to do that or if he's going to play hardball
and not do that. I don't know. I think it
would be foolish for him to try to continue. I mean,
because if he went and said, no, we're not doing this,
I don't like this. I still think it's bad. Blah

(01:16:27):
blah blah blah blah. Whatever he's going to say, and
he's going to wait in hopes that the Mark Green
seat is going to be filled out here in Nashville,
that is happening. I think at the second of December,
I should know that considering it's the it would be
my congress person. It's Matt Van Epps who goes by

(01:16:50):
Mega Maga, Matt Fan Epps. I'm not lying, or Afton Baine,
who people out here are calling the most radical person
in politics, even more radical than Mandani. But if he
was to win and they hadn't sworn in Grijalva, and

(01:17:14):
then they bring them together and swear them in, that
could delay it. But that would be ridiculous because are
you willing to share? Because if you're willing to shut
the government and can keep the government shut down because
of that, because that's what everybody would see it as well,
then guess what I think we know at that point

(01:17:35):
in time, there's some serious issues there and that people
need to take a look closer and ask even more questions.
So we'll see. It's going to be interesting, though very
much so. One of the things that not being talked
about in this situation is that as far as the
airlines go, still a madhouse out there that's not changing

(01:17:58):
at all, at least for the next couple days. You
can expect more disruptions. You also had the likes of
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy say, look, just because we
get back to business as normal as far as the
government goes, there's still going to be delays. And this
is a ripple effect that you're going to feel for

(01:18:20):
potentially through the holidays, which is and by holidays, I
mean Thanksgiving, not through Christmas, which is going to be
crazy if that happens. I have a tendency to believe
that we can get up and running a little bit faster,
but it doesn't mean that it's going to be smooth.
It's going to be definitely an issue here for the

(01:18:41):
next week or so, no doubt about that. Meanwhile, cold af.

Speaker 28 (01:18:45):
Dozens of schools in Chicago closed or delayed today. Bands
of Lake effect snow showering down on Indiana, creating white
out conditions on roads, making travel treacherous for drivers. Several
states expected to see lows ten to twenty five degrees
below the normal, below the.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
Normal it is currently. I took my dogs out this morning.
It was thirty one degrees. I had to put their
little coats on them. One of my dogs likes to
strut his stuff, like his coat's really cool, like all
the other dogs would make fun of him. But it
is so cold, and of course I'm in shorts, but
it is definitely this wacky cold snap that is moving through.

(01:19:26):
And I say this all the time, no matter where
you are through the Midwest and the South. If you
got a neighbor that is elderly, pop in, say hi.
If they've got maybe medical issues, pop in and say hi.
Make sure they're running the heat and that they're okay.
It's a simple thing to do, but you'd be surprised.

(01:19:49):
And the cold is deadly comparatively to even the heat
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson shows Your Extra Insta YouTube and
or Ted Cruz Mark Levin talking about the evil that
is Mundani find this to be fascinating because, well, quite frankly,

(01:20:16):
guy's not done anything yet, but listening to them and
the way they talk about him is and not just
by the way, not just them. Do I think this
guy's gonna get anything done?

Speaker 33 (01:20:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
Do I think his ideas are crazy wacky? I absolutely,
one hundred percent. Two. Do I think socialism is insane
and a joke? Oh god? Yes? But that being said,
do I think he's the most dangerous human being on
the planet, this kind of stuff that they're talking about.
I've never been anything more radical. You know, it's could

(01:20:47):
be sharia law in New York in like a week.
Like really, get out of town. Yeah, you're not. Even
if you're a Jew and you're trying to walk down
the street, you're pretty much screwed.

Speaker 12 (01:20:56):
No way.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Really, that's again fear. Fear is way easier than common sense, nuance,
and reason.

Speaker 40 (01:21:08):
Senator to Ted Cruz. When you listen to his speech
that he gave his victory speech, it was all out there.
He wants to replace the Western society with some kind
of a Marxist Islamist.

Speaker 12 (01:21:22):
Model, whatever that is.

Speaker 40 (01:21:23):
He had people at invited to his celebration who are
on the internet, who are podcasters who are vile anti American,
anti Christian, anti Jewish. What do you also make of that?
Plus the attack on Christians, now that was just a
matter of time. If you're going to attack Jews, you're

(01:21:45):
probably going to attack Christians too, And that's coming from
the left and the right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
I've again, Mark Levin, what are you talking about? You
don't even understand Chad he's going to have everybody killed again.
It makes me laugh, it does, it does. It makes
me laugh, because do I believe that New York is
going to become London in some areas where if you

(01:22:12):
walk down the street you're a woman, that's somehow you're
going to be attacked. And now I don't. We are
not London, we are not England. We are not going
to allow that to happen. It just isn't going to happen.
It isn't. He's a radical, he's got some radical ideas.
You could be radical all you want, but doesn't mean

(01:22:33):
your ideas are going to ever see the light of day,
All right, Ted, Senator Cruz.

Speaker 41 (01:22:39):
It's coming from both sides. Look, there's an intersection. Those
who hate Jews, they hate Christians, those who hate Israel,
they hate America. There's a reason Iran refers to Israel
as the little Satan in America as the great Satan.
And one of the things you talked about in your
monologue that is really important is the Green Alliance, and

(01:23:01):
Comrade Mondami combines them. Both the communist and the Islamists,
they share the same enemies. They hate America, they hate
free enterprise, They hate capitalism, they hate property, they hate liberty,
they hate women. They're profoundly anti woman. One of the
things that is striking, you know. On my podcast Verdict
with Ted Cruz, the latest podcast today, I break down

(01:23:24):
the numbers in terms of the election victory.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
I'm just trying to put it all together here, sorry,
senator of the radicalism, and he's got a lot of
people that radical. He's also got a lot of people
that aren't radical, that are fed up in the radicals. Again,
lots of noise, lots of crazy ideas never going to
ever come to fruition. And this thought that it's going

(01:23:51):
to be Sharia law and that Christians and Jews are
going to be on some sort of hunting list. I
find that to be absolutely absurd. But it's easy and
you'd be surprised how many people I know are like, Yep,
that's what he's gonna do.

Speaker 41 (01:24:06):
Do you know what constituency was most responsible for electing
comrade Mundami and the Democrats across the country. It was
young women women eighteen to twenty nine, who voted over
eighty percent for Comrade Mandami. This is someone who has
a jihadist believes women should have no rights, believe women
should be forced to wear burkas in to be silent,

(01:24:28):
and believes that their husbands can rape women with no
consequences whatsoever.

Speaker 14 (01:24:33):
That's what sharia law is.

Speaker 41 (01:24:35):
And Comrade Mandami has said he wants to impose Sharia law.
And you've got young women who are being lied to.
By the way, another constituency that voted more than eighty
percent for Comrade Mandami in New York are gay and
lesbian and transgender New Yorkers. Again, Islamists literally throw homosexuals
from the roofs of buildings and murder them.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
Is that what's going to happen in New York. I'm
just curious. It's a clown show, people, It's a clown show.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chadminton show's your extra insta, YouTube and more.

government shutdown, number one trending thing in the last twenty
four hours. Then it's all pretty much football Lions commanders Bill's, Dolphins, Giants, Bears,
Ran forty nine, Ers, Patriots, Buccaneers, Codinal, Seahawks, Browns, Jets, Jags, Texans,
what a game? My goodness. Texans scored twenty six points
in the fourth quarter to win the game. Jags, the

(01:28:35):
hell are you doing? Veterans Day, Chargers, Ralph Laren Christmas,
Lenny Wilkins, pass away, Paul taglebu as well three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your ex your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and more.

(01:28:56):
If you miss any show, make sure you have the podcast.
We really do appreciate that helps us out right here
on The Chad Benson Show. And of course the government
shutdown and the Edmund Fitzgerald. The hell are you talking

(01:29:16):
about with the Edmund Fitzgerald. Don't look at me, okay,
downlook at me. Some of the things trending on the
magic world of Google right there now, you know it's
trending on this Monday. Government shutdown obviously a big deal.
But the Edmond Fitzgerald also a big deal. We're gonna

(01:29:37):
talk about that a little bit later. And Major League
Baseballs got on the scandal. What yeah, federal indictments coming
down on two pitchers for allegedly, are you ready for this?
Not throwing the game, but fixing things inside of the
game that they could control. It is insane that we're
here again, and are you ready for this? These two guys,

(01:30:00):
they did it for a whopping five thousand and seven thousand,
twelve grand.

Speaker 23 (01:30:03):
According to a federal indictment, when the Guardians played the
Mets in twenty twenty three, Classe told betters his pitch
would be faster than ninety four point ninety five miles
per hour better I and several of the betters won
approximately twenty seven thousand dollars wagering that exact throw. Then,
as recently as June twenty seventh of this year, the
indictment alleges Class and Orteez collaborated on an alleged plot

(01:30:26):
for Ortiz to throw a ball for his first pitch
and the third inning against the Saint Louis Cardinals on
an exchange for seven thousand dollars from a better.

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
Seven thousand dollars. Luis Ortiz his minor league contract last
year seven hundred and forty seven thousand dollars and Classe's
contract well he's in the midst of a five year,
twenty million dollar deal. Let's just say they're facing lots
of time and suspension forever if you miss any show

(01:30:56):
Red the podcast. This is the Chad Benson Show, Fun,
Chad Bentz.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
So this is insane, but this is the world we
live in now. How would you like to make your
child your way? Like a hamburger? Like a hamburger? What
do you mean? How would you like to pick height

(01:31:42):
eyes IQ Health, get rid of all the bad and
keep the good? Is that possible? This company thinks, So
I'm excited.

Speaker 38 (01:31:53):
Yeah, we were there as Marshall in Victoria Fritz joined
a video call with genetic counselor Warren Moisy.

Speaker 10 (01:32:02):
Hello, Victoria and Marshall to learn.

Speaker 38 (01:32:05):
What life might be like for the eleven embryos they've
created in three rounds of IVF.

Speaker 10 (01:32:11):
Well, go over your embryo results.

Speaker 42 (01:32:14):
All right, what we've been waiting for?

Speaker 38 (01:32:17):
Parisite charges fifty thousand dollars for this report, but gave
the Fritzes half off for agreeing to share information about
their future kids. It's still their biggest purchase yet is Newlyweds,
but they're doing this because Victoria has type one diabetes.
I was afraid of giving it to her kids. So

(01:32:37):
the first thing she wanted to know was each embryo's risk.

Speaker 17 (01:32:41):
Lost risk embryo for type one diabetes is basically just
below point two percent, and then the highest risk one
is a twelve point one percent.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
Again, designer baby. That's what we're doing now, designer children.
And let's be real, if you were if all of
us had the opportunity to get rid of something in
our children that we may pass on, we would love
to do that. This just isn't about getting rid of
type one diabetes or some of these other things. This

(01:33:15):
is a lot of different stuff that they're trying to control.

Speaker 38 (01:33:19):
How the report, filled with line graphs and bar charts,
gives polygenic risk scores for eighteen health conditions, then adds
up the numbers and estimates the impact on how long
each possible person would live from.

Speaker 17 (01:33:35):
The lowest scoring embryo. There's almost a three year difference.

Speaker 38 (01:33:41):
If that was all Harrisite did, it would still be controversial.
But they're offering much more, including the projected height of
each potential child.

Speaker 10 (01:33:52):
Yeah, so your umbros have quite a bit of distribution.

Speaker 38 (01:33:55):
And believe it or not, they're expected IQ.

Speaker 17 (01:33:59):
That has the highest prediction for IQ is twenty one
points more than the one with the lowest.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Oh, now we're picking a spot to the kid. We
want this spot.

Speaker 42 (01:34:13):
We're not going to tell you which one to implant,
but we're going to give you all this information and
then what you're going to do is rank the embryos
according to what you think is important.

Speaker 38 (01:34:22):
Jonathan Anomaly is Harosite's director of Communications. We met them
at their lab in North Carolina's Research Triangle. This is
where customers send their at home test kit. The parents'
DNA results are then combined with genetic information from the
embryos to create the polygenic score. This week, Harosite announced

(01:34:43):
what they're calling a breakthrough, the ability to create those
scores using just an embryo's basic PGTA data, which most
IVF patients already have. That opens the door to much
wider use of the tech.

Speaker 35 (01:34:59):
Thank you very much for joining today. Are all hands meeting.

Speaker 38 (01:35:02):
This potentially revolutionary company has just twenty seven employees, most
of them work from home.

Speaker 2 (01:35:10):
That's kind of interesting, and the reason for that is, well,
it's a lot, one of which is Let's be one
hundred percent honest. If you believe in this stuff, you
may be in your field one of the few that does.

Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
Are you risk in the biscuit if you will?

Speaker 42 (01:35:29):
This is considered controversial among some people, not everyone, certainly,
But if you go all in on this, you know
there's going to be a little bit of controversy associated
with us, and there.

Speaker 38 (01:35:38):
Has been controversy. May be an understatement. Using genetics to
supposedly improve who was born was the premise of forced
sterilization laws in twentieth century America and mass murder in
Nazi Germany. This is entirely different, Parasite says, because parents
are choosing to do it, not being coerced. Though anomaly

(01:36:02):
concedes that means those who don't choose to do it
will be left behind, as will those who can't afford it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
It's always the rich getting better looking. But you know what,
let's be one hundred percent honest. Rich and the powerful
have opportunities. The beautiful have opportunities. They're going to come
together using their great genes, which doesn't always mean a
home run. By the way, doesn't always mean a home run.

(01:36:34):
I've seen beautiful people with kids that are very average
across the board, including looks. And I have seen some
people friends of ours who are the three most gorgeous
daughters you've ever seen, and they may have been two

(01:36:54):
of the most goofy human beings you've ever seen in
your life. And I do mean goofy, not very so.
Sometimes too negative make a positive and sometimes too positive
makes a negative.

Speaker 42 (01:37:05):
Everything has a trade off, right every policy does. There
are winners and losers to policies and so on.

Speaker 38 (01:37:10):
But it's an acceptable trade off that rich people get
smarter kids and poor people.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
That's a trade off we're gonna have.

Speaker 7 (01:37:15):
To live with.

Speaker 12 (01:37:15):
Well, we live with it right now.

Speaker 10 (01:37:17):
So when you allow.

Speaker 38 (01:37:18):
People metically though, yes genetically, because you're going to say
a sort of mating and smart people were with smart people,
but that's different the smart people and the smart people
roll their dice and the other folks roll their dice
and everyone sees what the dice is. This is the
rich people get to get a few rolls. Yeah, poor
people know, you get the one roll.

Speaker 42 (01:37:36):
Well, the dice are loaded by those choices, and you're.

Speaker 38 (01:37:39):
Still loading them. You have to acknowledge your loading.

Speaker 42 (01:37:41):
That's true, we're loading them we're loading.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Them a bit more.

Speaker 42 (01:37:44):
And so what I would say is that, okay, because
on on net.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
This is really good for the world, really good for
the world, because we're gonna have smart, beautiful people like
Gattica taking care of everything for us.

Speaker 38 (01:37:57):
Doctor Todd Lens would like to pour some cold water.
Are overall of this, The neuroscientist at the Feinstein Institutes
for Medical Research says, sure, polygenic scores look promising for
some less genetically complex conditions, like type one diabetes, but
for most things, he doubts the scores are accurate enough

(01:38:17):
to reliably compare individual embryos.

Speaker 43 (01:38:20):
There's a lot of room for error in these predictions,
and he.

Speaker 38 (01:38:24):
Looks at Marshall and Victoria's IQ report. What he sees
is uncertainty, and.

Speaker 43 (01:38:29):
They're predicting that this one particular embryo, for example, will
have an IQ of one hundred and nineteen. That sounds
pretty good, but what they're also showing in somewhat subtle
lines is that that's plus or minus about twenty points
that it's going to be somewhere between a ninety eight
and one hundred and forty three. There's even a ten

(01:38:50):
percent chance that it'll be outside of that range. That's
critical information for us to be able to decide whether
this is ready for prime time.

Speaker 2 (01:39:01):
So it's still a crapshoot. At the end of the day.
You may be able to get rid of a few
things here and there, but the bigger side of it
is still a crapshoot. You want Einstein, you may not
get Einstein. You maybe get a kid that's just average.
You may get a kid that's a little bit below
average IQ wise, or you may get a kid that's
a little bit above average. But it's trying to genetically

(01:39:22):
engineer which you knew would come.

Speaker 12 (01:39:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
You knew at some point in time this would come.
It's just here faster, and AI is going to make
it even I think faster and eventually probably more affordable
in the future, potentially if anybody has a job because
AI but I digress.

Speaker 38 (01:39:40):
Harrisite acknowledges uncertainty in the scores, but says their model
is the most accurate available.

Speaker 44 (01:39:47):
There's a race going on in Silica Valley among these startups.

Speaker 38 (01:39:51):
Tech reporter Ashley Vance has interviewed many of the major
players in this space.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
This is all that the old school testing will tell.

Speaker 38 (01:39:58):
You Besides Harrisite, there's Genomic Prediction and Orchid. Both of
them say they'll never do traits like IQ. But the
startup Nucleus is not only reporting on intelligence like here
a site, but eye color too.

Speaker 25 (01:40:12):
You can understand your options with Nucleus Embryo.

Speaker 38 (01:40:17):
In Silicon Valley, Vance says, the idea of making a
baby the old fashion way is already falling out of fashion.

Speaker 44 (01:40:24):
The people that I hang out with and interview all
the time, I mean, this is just like accepted.

Speaker 4 (01:40:28):
We are.

Speaker 44 (01:40:28):
We're heading towards most people are going to have babies
via IVF. They're going to do this type of selection.
If they had the chance to have a child in
an artificial womb, they would absolutely take it. And it's
like a total rethinking of the way we would have kids.
Something that is like so obviously part of the human condition,

(01:40:49):
but also part of our culture and our mythology and
everything we kind of considered to be human would be changing.

Speaker 2 (01:40:56):
That is so bizarre. Just have you guys known experience
how children are me? Nobody I've done with this. This
seems like no fud. The nerds. We gotta stop them,
We gotta teach them the touch of a good woman.
We do. You guys are trying to eliminate You're trying

(01:41:19):
to create perfection, and again you're taking out the human element.
But the fact that you're talking about, well, all the
people up here just feel like that's old school. Okay,
weirdos three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at you had Benson shows, my ex my insta,
YouTube and more. Don't let that be upe? People? Can

(01:41:41):
I just say that, don't let that be you? Even
if you have a chance, if they came to me
today and said we can go back and you could
pick and choot. No, love my kids, it is what
it is. My little brother Spencer, who is going through
some stuff right now and is life has been tough,

(01:42:02):
but he brings our whole family joy. I wish he
was perfect and everything in the way that your body
works in this and the other because of my sister,
because of the brain damage, because of all the stuff
that he's gone through, though he's still amazing and I
wouldn't trade any of that at all. But this thought
to create something again as we get further away from humanity,

(01:42:24):
which we've already done through the Internet by being closer
than ever yet further than ever apart. You can talk
to anybody in the world, yet there's no human contact,
and now with AI that's becoming more and more apparent.
And then you throw this in, which is, let's just

(01:42:44):
go to a kiosk and create a child in an
artificial womb. I mean, that's so weird. I mean I
know it's coming, but that being said, it still feels odd.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chippin's shows you're act your Insta, YouTube and more.

(01:43:06):
We're gonna wrap it up straight out. But first, Birch
Gold Merch Gold kids, let me tell you some Black
Friday event going on right now. So when you convert
an existing four to one k or ira into attack
sheltered ira and gold, Birch Gold's is going to send
you free gold to your home for every twenty thousand
dollars purchase. Now. Gold started this year around twenty six
hundred bucks an ounce. By October it was over four

(01:43:26):
thousand dollars an ounce. Okay, Central branks are moving away
from the dollar as the world's global reserve currency increase.
Military tensions and we go on and on about what's
going on out there. Plus, you got trade wars, all
kinds of issues. Birch wants to help you with that.
Diversification is key, whether it's your savings IRA or four
to one K. Look to Gold Plus. Now until November thirtieth,

(01:43:50):
you can get free gold with the qualifying purchase A
plus rated by the Better Business Bureau. They're amazing. I
absolutely love what they do, how they work. That worked
with me and my family, and they're incredible. Birch Gold's awesome.
Text my name Benson to ninety eight ninety eight ninety
eight now claim your eligibility and receive a free and
folk kid on gold. This opportunity for free gold with

(01:44:11):
purchase ends Overmber thirtieth, so don't wait. Text Benson to
ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight and get full details
for our friends at Birch Gold. We're gonna wrap it
up on this Monday, Straight Ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 39 (01:44:33):
A hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help.

Speaker 1 (01:44:37):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get out.
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:44:43):
Fifty years ago said day something took place that's shocked
an area and has become folklore.

Speaker 14 (01:44:53):
But it was a tragedy, the wreck stunning locals. It's
a grim day.

Speaker 9 (01:44:57):
When I got home from school, I heard that the
Edmund Fitzgerald was singing.

Speaker 2 (01:45:01):
Their head sank A.

Speaker 14 (01:45:02):
Year after the sinking of folk song recounting the tragedy,
let's get.

Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
To say.

Speaker 14 (01:45:13):
Gordon Lightfoot turning the tail of the ship into legend
with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a song that
re emerged in recent years on social media, educating a
new generation about what happened on November tenth, nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 2 (01:45:27):
So what did happen? Well, first of all, let's talk
about the Edmund Fitzgerald for a second. Shoahwe so we
have an understanding of what the Edmund Fitzgerald was. Most
people have no idea. So the Edmund Fitzgerald was a
giant ship, massive massive ship, seven or twenty nine feet
long and as they say deadweight capacity twenty six thousand
long tons of taconite. It says taco knight or at

(01:45:48):
taconite or it was among the largest ships on the
Great Lakes at the time. So on his final voryage,
it departed from Superior, Wisconsin on November ninth, bound for
a steal and Detroit, Detois. But on November tenth, something happened.
What was it?

Speaker 14 (01:46:06):
A surprise storm catching the crew off guard. Fifteen foot
waves and gale force winds mattering these seven hundred and
twenty nine foot cargo ship before knocking out radar and
dragging her into the depths.

Speaker 2 (01:46:19):
Yeah, the depths. Those depths are deep, deep, deep, deep, deep,
deep deep. Twenty nine people died entire crew. The reck
was located seventeen miles north northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan,
at a depth of about five hundred and thirty feet.
Interesting thing was there was no distress call, none, nothing

(01:46:40):
at all. There was nothing. In fact, the last thing
they had heard was we're holding our own. What they
think happened are a few things. First, structural issues. They
say the ship's long haul and design may have been
more vulnerable to bending stress, especially in big storms. The
other thing, they said, flooding of the cargo hold due
to heavy And then the last thing was a change

(01:47:04):
in the weather. I think the weather was far worse
than predicted, and that by the time they had realized
that this was not quote unquote the kind of storm
that you could just write it out in it was
too late. What it did do was lead to changes
in shifting and safety regulations for the Great Late freighters,

(01:47:25):
hatch cover, standard survival equipment, and weather monitoring all improved
after the horror of the sinking of the Edmund fitz Gerald. Man,
I remember that song. I was but a kid, and
I thought, this is a long song about what because
it was a tragedy. But you know, now in today's world,

(01:47:46):
it's we would know about it, watch it, the whole
thing in a much different way. But it kind of
over the years had picked up, you know, the lore
of the Edmund Fitzgerald because of the mystery around it. All. Ah,
I know right well, government shutdown getting closer to being over,

(01:48:07):
so still some work to do, but looks like in
the next couple days this thing could be finally done.
But there's a few things they got to do.

Speaker 18 (01:48:16):
A lot still has to happen before the shutdown ends.
The Senate has to take several more votes to insert
new language and a House past bill to restore funding
to agencies through the end of January. That new language
would also require the reversal of any layoffs conducted by
the administration through the shutdown. Once that bill passes the Senate,
the House would have to come back to DC to
vote on it to send it to the President's desk.

(01:48:37):
His signature would end the shutdown.

Speaker 2 (01:48:40):
But I'm sure that'll happen sometime this week, so that's
great for everybody. Still not over yet, but the reality
looks like it's getting closer and closer three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, your
ex Youer insta YouTube and more right here on The
Jad Benson Show. Solid fun show today on this Monday.

(01:49:00):
Not a bad way to kick off the week, getting
closer and closer to fixing the government. I'm just kidding.
But they'll be open, so there's that. So gonna be
interesting to see the way that Mike Johnson handles this
because if they get this done sooner rather than later,
there's a chance that the Epstein files could be voted on,
which will be very fascinating. Top of that, we covered

(01:49:23):
Major League Baseball betting scandal. What a nightmare that is
Edmund Fitzgerald and the sinking of that. To go along
with the coldness out there, among other things, you guys
have a blessed and amazing rest of your Monday. We'll
be back to do it again tomorrow. As always, Night
night Jack.
