Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show, the economy, affordability. Those are the
words we talk about, right you here, it's the economy stupid,
et cetera, et cetera. But it's also about messaging. If
you don't have the right messaging, you're going to fail.

(00:34):
If you cannot message your vision, you're going to fail.
If you continue to insult and lie to the people
in a way where you know, when Trump comes out
and goes, I didn't do it, wasn't me, et cetera. Well,
especially for a lot of the crap that you know,
I mean, and this is all politicians, they go, you

(00:58):
know whatever, We expect that. But the economy is to
one place that you've got to be on point with
your messaging and you have to absolutely must not tell
them it's not real, it's a lie. You have to
you have to and you have to take some responsibility. Yesterday,

(01:19):
Howard Lutnik was on a squawk Box one of those shows,
and of course placing the blame the job's numbers, which
whatever kind of job numbers we get, remember it's just
it's all private's all adp. We're not getting job numbers
across the board because you know, Democrats are Biden, but
when you listen to them, it's like, so this is

(01:43):
still the Democrat's fault. Everything's the democrats fault.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I do want to ask you about the recent economic data,
because today we learned that the private sector is losing jobs,
small business getting hit really hard, negative number in front
of ADP. And one of the reasons that they is tariffs.
So do you worry about some of the economic fallout
here as these tariffs really take hold?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
No, no, it's not tariffs.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
You remember you had the Democratics shut down, right, and
what do you think happens to small business? The people
who do business with the US government, they know they're
not getting paid, so they sort.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Of slow down their projects.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
So you saw a little bit even of construction of
small business down. So the Democratics shut down, hurt the numbers.
And then remember, as you deport people, that's going to
suppress private.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Job numbers of small businesses. But they'll rebalance and they'll regrow.
So I think this is just a near term that
and you'll see as the numbers come through over the
next couple of months, you'll see that all pass and
next year the numbers are going to be fantastic. I
think because the jobs of building in America.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
You know, as Donald Trump talks about the huge President
Trump talks about the huge construction projects coming to America.
I think you're gonna see GDP next year, superb over
four percent.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
What's crazy about that, right is first of all, the
rebuilding America. That sounds great, but based on what well,
the tariffs, Okay, but to build something here in America
that you think we're gonna bring back, you know, all
this manufacturer which, by the way, manufacturing under Trump, why
because tariffs they don't help. Also, the uncertainty of tariffs. See,

(03:28):
it's not just the tariffs, it's the uncertainty. You tell
me make a big investment here. Okay, We're gonna teariff X,
Y and Z country and you will then have a
levelish playing field. Okay. Now I go and say I'm
gonna do that. I'm gonna build here. I'm going to

(03:48):
invest money. I invest that money. But between now and
when I can get that plant open, what happens you
decide to take those tariffs away. It's three four years
from now, and whether it's Jdvans or somebody else comes
in and goes you know, we don't do terroriffts, we
want the free trade wide open. What happens, Well, I've

(04:10):
just invested a ton of money, and now what do
I have. I have a manufacturing plant where I'm going
to produce something that now is going to be not
cost effective. And so that's an issue, that's an absolute issue.
So there's an issue there again. Messaging matters yesterday, Trump,

(04:36):
you can't continue to say everything's a hoax because you're
telling people their reality is a lie.

Speaker 7 (04:46):
For you, just about everything is down. You know, this
whole thing is they use the word affordability. It's a
Democrat hoax. They're the ones that drove the prices up.
And all they do is say affordability and you're supposed
to say, oh, that means they had low prices. No,
we inherited the worst inflation in the history of our country.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
They say forty eight years, but let's say that's history.
I don't believe that Biden had because of.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
His stupid ways and between his energy policies and his
spending policies, we had the worst inflation in the history
of our country. And now our prices are coming down,
and they're coming down for cars and they're coming down.

Speaker 8 (05:26):
I mean, did you hear yesterday when.

Speaker 7 (05:28):
Chris Wright from Energy, the head of energy in our country, said,
there are now parts of our country.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
It's parts. It's all happening. One dollar and ninety.

Speaker 7 (05:38):
Nine cents for gasoline a gallery and we have it
at two fifty to sixty. It was at five dollars,
and that's bigger than any tax cut we could give.
And you know, for the average family, that's considered bigger
than any tax cut.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, so a lot to unpack. We got a lot
more of this. First of all, affordability is real. Now.
The Democrats their messaging sucks to because well they're useless,
But it's not a hoax to the voters. You may
say it's a hoax because the Democrats, but to the voters,

(06:17):
to the average American, affordability is not a hoax. That's
what they're hearing. You're telling them, Hey, the pain you
feel is a lie that the Democrats are perpetrating on you. Again,
messaging matters.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
So the word affordability when they mentioned it, do you
have a watch him? It's all about I saw that
the young lady that lost last night, she lost by
a lot more than they thought, and we have a
great new candidate in the in Congress, really great Matt
Van Epps.

Speaker 9 (06:53):
But I saw last night she said it's all about affordability,
all about it. They never talk about like the specific.
Everything was through the roof. Eggs when I cook over,
eggs were four times higher than they ever were.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
We got the prices down to the lowest level.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
I mean amazing, But they never you got to watch.
They're great con people. It's like the Inflation Reduction Act, and.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
After they got it approved because everybody said inflation reduction,
they admitted it had nothing to.

Speaker 8 (07:24):
Do with reducing inflation.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's a conjobstud okay again not a con job. And
this is what I try to tell people about modern politics.
They're fighting amongst themselves and telling each other everything's a
lie that the other side is telling. But you and
I feel it every single day. That's why when I

(07:50):
talk about messaging, stop arguing with them and start talking
to the people, because you will pay the price. And
then everybody walks around and goes, WHOA can you believe
that happened? Well, what do we have to go in
and do a deep dive? You talked over people, you
talked around the people. You did not talk to the people.

(08:12):
You did not address their worries. Instead, you told them
what they were not just feeling, but what they were
living isn't real.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
I think affordability is the greatest kind of They look
at you and they say affordability.

Speaker 8 (08:33):
They don't say anything else.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
Everden says, oh, the prices were so low to know,
they had the worst inflation.

Speaker 8 (08:40):
We had the highest prices we ever had.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
And now they're all coming down, including beef is coming down.

Speaker 8 (08:47):
Beef was up there a little bit.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
Our ranchers did well, but we're going to make them
do a little bit less well perhaps, But the beef
is now coming down, Coffee is now coming down. It's
all coming down, and it's a beautiful thing to see.
But remember this when they use the word affordability, did.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
You say, They never say anything else.

Speaker 7 (09:07):
Just elections about affordability, and then they go up to
the next object.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
It's a con job.

Speaker 10 (09:13):
They caused the highest prices the history of our country,
the worst inflation in the history of our country, and
we're getting those prices down, and they're coming down rapidly
and you'll see those results very soon.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Anybody, So again, stop saying it's a hoax. Stop saying
it's not real. Stop telling everybody everything is down. That's
just not true. And the egg thing, let's be real,
that had nothing to do with the Inflation Reduction Act

(09:50):
or anything. It had to do with the bird flu. Okay,
just like beef prices have gone up. There's a lot
of things that go into it that most people don't
really care to understand, including the meat packing monopoly, including
the fact that you know you've got droughts, and certain

(10:12):
things that are not the political side of stuff that
we would think about the everyday politics of something. These
are things that have had political fingers on them for years,
and or it's a nature thing. Message right, people will understand.
Don't fix the message, and you'll pay the price. Some

(10:35):
Republicans get.

Speaker 11 (10:36):
That concerned at all that this was closer than it
has been in the past.

Speaker 12 (10:39):
I'm always concerned, to be honest with and yeah, we
got a real problem and we better wake up. What
about issues like affordability and the like, If you guys,
you need to do a better job on that those issues.
Of course, we need to The best friend the Democrats
have right now is the Republican's messaging because we do
a terrible job of messaging.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Amen, Tim Burchett, there terrible job at messaging. It's not
the messenger, it's the messaging right now. That is an issue. Yes,
affordability is real, and yes the message needs to be

(11:18):
real as well, and it needs to have a certain
understanding that we understand what you're going through. We're doing
what we can to write the ship. It didn't happen overnight.
I always say, it's like putting weight on. You didn't
wake up one day. We're thirty pounds overweight. It's not
going to go way overnight, but just going it's it's

(11:41):
a hoax. What happens? They say, Okay, well then you know,

Speaker 13 (12:58):
Chad Benson, Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show
for all the.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Stuff going on with Venezuela and Pete heg Seth. He's
the Secretary of War. Let's not forget how his tenure
started with well Signal Gate IG report out, and.

Speaker 14 (13:29):
Sources say hegg Seth refused to sit down for an interview,
insisting that he has the power to classify and declassify information.
Last night, hag Seth tweeted, no classified information, total exoneration
case closed.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, and about the total exoneration first, Okay, did something
happen that put people at risk? We'll talk about that
in a second. Part of being a leader, though, is
people having confidence in you. There is no com confidence
from what I'm being told in heg Seth, there isn't.

(14:05):
And there are a lot of people out there on
both not just the left but on the right who
feel like, you know what you've You've done your thing.
You know, we tried it. Appreciate the effort, Okay, but no,
it's it's not working. It's not and uh maybe maybe

(14:27):
maybe we should. We need time to think, right, and
I'm let's give these people a chance. You know, the
left overdes stuff, We know that they throw stuff out
that as far as the worst of all time, I
thought Pam Bondi would be good. She's awful cash but
tel clown, right, Pete Hegseth clown I said the other day,

(14:54):
I still think Secretary Duffy and Marco Rubio basically have
done the best jobs. And Marco is you know, I mean,
he wants to definitely make sure that everything that they
can do when it comes to Maduro. He's leading that charge.
But there's no doubt that there's been some swings and
misses and heg Sath is one of them.

Speaker 15 (15:14):
The I found he didn't break the law, he didn't
necessarily expose classified information, but there was a very big caveat,
and that caveat was he potentially put troops at risk.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
And that's a pretty big caveat putting troops at risk.
I just want to point that out. That is pretty
damn big three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your ext
your insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more right here in the
Chad Benson Show. I'm gonna throw this out there. Opinion only,

(15:52):
he is the perfect cover if things go sideways with
Venezuela and a few other things. Secondly, Trump will always
push back if the Left tells him to do something.
And we'll see, we'll see how much longer Pete has.
I still think he might be the first one to go.
We got several text messages yesterday. We did a story

(16:14):
about kids in sports and how many parents reached out
and a lot of parents say, you know, look, if
you guys don't know. We were talking about the cost of
playing youth sports. Nowadays we're talking sixty billion dollars, and
you know, we're going to go into it a little

(16:35):
bit more later if we have a chance. If not,
we'll definitely dive into it deeper tomorrow. There's several articles
over there, you know, last couple of weeks that have
come out about hedge funds that are taking over youth
sports leagues. They're taking over ice rinks, they're taking over everything.
Why because the money is so big and so many

(16:57):
parents reached out and said it is crazy. I mean,
our kid loves it, and that's got to be the
number one thing kid has to love it. But a
lot of parents that reached out and said, you don't
understand chat. Our kid has a chance maybe, but highly unlikely.
And the amount of money that some people pour into sports,

(17:18):
to the tune of one hundred two hundred thousand dollars
over a lifetime, you could get your kid a college degree.
And you're hoping you get your kid a free ride
to college. It wasn't free. You're just not paying for
it's at the end, you paid for it up front.
You're missing any of the show grabbed the podcast. It

(17:38):
is the Chad.

Speaker 16 (17:39):
Benson Shown Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 13 (18:01):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
We love when you reach out to us. Remember I
try to get back to everybody as fast as I
possibly can. You can leave a voice message at three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three. Yesterday we had
White One Wednesday, and several people called in about Kylie.
Now we play her every week here. If you don't know who,
she is a super progressive woman, and she talks about

(18:25):
all kinds of stuff and most of it is just
nonsense and hilariousness. But she's always talking about how bad
America is and how bad men are and how bad
white people are, and some of you've had enough.

Speaker 17 (18:38):
I just want to comment on the lady that thinks
all white males or whatever to the effect prejudice against blacks, Hispanics,
et cetera, against women, and lady, she's got some major problems.

Speaker 18 (18:55):
I don't know where she's come from or whatever, but
for a person to think that way, damn her background.

Speaker 19 (19:04):
Let's be pretty hurtful. I feel sorry for her, I
really do, and I feel sorry for the people that
have to be around her because it's unfortunate that that's
what she thinks of our country.

Speaker 15 (19:18):
It really is.

Speaker 18 (19:19):
We are are far the best country in the world.

Speaker 17 (19:24):
And I'm not saying that it doesn't have its faults,
but as far as people making it.

Speaker 18 (19:29):
On their own and doing what they are and I
know it's hard, it's really hard now, but the opportunity
is here, and this lady has to find a new country.
You don't love it, leave it.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Basically it And oddly enough, forty four percent of women
between fifteen and forty four want to leave the US.
The grass is always greener whatever. Look when I was younger,
I couldn't wait to go to your to play soccer,
and that's you would have much. I love because I
love the US is always my home and it was
always but I wanted to play soccer and we didn't

(20:04):
have that opportunity. And it wasn't because I hated America.
Trust me, I wish there was something. I mean, by
the time I had retired if you will, and retire
means my legs had given out and there was just
nothing left. And I was in my early twenties. It
was even before the MLS started Major League Soccer, so
it took a while for that to happen, and our
leagues were so pissed or over here amateurish it was,

(20:27):
you know, at best, you know, semi professional, barely could
make a living kind of thing. So, yeah, going to
Europe was always a dream. And like any player wants toad,
they want to leave for different reasons. And you know,
for how evil America is and et cetera, et cetera.
I get that, you know that they feel like America's

(20:48):
bad because in many cases, what have they done. They've
gone and they've traveled and they've been at other places
and it's wonderful. This is one thing I'll always tell
you guys. Traveling is not living. It's great, but it's
not living under their rules, not living under their laws,
not living under their norms, not living under their liberties,

(21:13):
their versions of constitutions. That's a different thing, that is.
So you know, there's a reason that everybody wants to
come here. There is a reason for that, because of

(21:33):
who we are, because of our liberty. And you know
that's you know, right now, there's a big battle going
on in the immigration. Yesterday we touched on a little
bit the massive fraud that took place in Minneapolis, parts
of Minnesota. I think it was some in Wisconsin and
a few other places, but it was all, you know,

(21:55):
feeding our future, you know NGOs. It was like a
massive fraud and a vast majority of the people that we
arrested were Somalis. And then of course Trump comes out
and and you know, he takes and this is where
you know Trump, this is where he feeds the base
the things that he knows they want to hear, which is,

(22:19):
these people are bad, these people are evil, these people
are garbage, and we got to get him out of here, brother,
thank you.

Speaker 20 (22:25):
The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, is saying that he's
actually proud to have the largest Somali community in the.

Speaker 8 (22:31):
Country, and his police chief he is a fool.

Speaker 7 (22:33):
Well, his police chief is also saying to have the
largest Somalian Look at the nation.

Speaker 8 (22:38):
Look how bad the nation. It's not even a nation.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
It's just a people walking around killing each other. Look,
these Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country.

Speaker 8 (22:49):
They've taken billions and billions of dollars.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married
her brother's a fraud. She tries to deny it now,
but you can't really deny it because you know, it
just happened.

Speaker 8 (23:06):
She shouldn't be allowed to be a congresswoman.

Speaker 7 (23:08):
And I'm sure people are looking at that, and she
should be throwing the hell out of our country and
most of those people they have destroyed Minnesota, Minnesota, you
have an incompetent governor. You have a crooked governor. He's
crooked as hell, but he's incompetent.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
Waltz. He should be a shame.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
And there's a perfect ziit. You fed the base everything
they wanted and they've got an issue, and we've talked
about it. The issue is cultural. Yesterday we played Emmy
Horowitz and I'll grab that again because I think, you know,
it's could it easily be skewed? Yes? Do I think

(23:50):
there are a lot of people that feel this way
that come to this country. I do, and Ami talk
to you know, these the people here in Minneapolis in
Somalia about you know, would you rather be you know,
a Somalian residence, you know, back home, or would you

(24:12):
rather be here in America? And and you know, it
was I think there's a lot that feels this way.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Do you feel more comfortable living under American law or
do you feel more comfortable living under sharia.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Lah ah shari a la.

Speaker 21 (24:30):
I'm a Muslim, I prefer.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yes, you prefer Sharia law over American law?

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Of course?

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, of course. And do you find most of your
friends say I feel the same way? Yeah, of course
if you're Muslimanic. Yeah, I make his daughter marry so much?

Speaker 15 (24:48):
Yeah he can, Yeah he can.

Speaker 22 (24:50):
He has a part Yeah to do that.

Speaker 23 (24:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
So here, how young do you think it's okay?

Speaker 22 (24:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Fifteen? Is it right to kill somebody who solds Mohammed?

Speaker 18 (24:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (24:59):
Because she's just she had the religion, I understand, but
she shouldn't beat up the prophet.

Speaker 19 (25:04):
You know.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Do you understand why people would want to attack her? Yeah?
You have a choice. Would you rather live here? Is
live the mother counture? I rather live in a Muslim
country with my people. Would you prefer to live in
America or prefer to live in Samaria?

Speaker 22 (25:16):
For me, I think it's so Mania.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
I would rather live in so many.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
I'm not Americanized.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
I just I just speak fluent and I'm you know
what I mean.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
I'm articulate, I can articulate what I'm trying to say,
you know what I mean, that's about it.

Speaker 8 (25:26):
Other than that, I mean.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
As far as my culture and my prefaces and everything,
and still Somodi you.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah, yeah, even though here you have all the freedom.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
And stuff like that, and even though I have all
the freedom, I.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Think life might be better in Somaria than he is now.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
You have the then freedom of it of practicing your
religion while working and doing your other things. So you know,
feed the base. It's perfect. Trump does it so well.
But we have an issue immigration wise, we understand that.
Do I think all these people are garbage?

Speaker 3 (26:01):
No?

Speaker 1 (26:02):
I don't do. I talk to a lot of people
every day who want to throw every one of them out.
Yes I do. Do I think immigration legal immigration do?
I think it makes us strong? I do think it
makes us strong. I do. And by the way, we
have the best immigration policy on the planet. What are

(26:23):
we allowing a million people legally every single year? That
helped drive the economy. And for years both sides played
the immigration game where they were like, ah, they talked
tough or they didn't talk tough. They did this they
did depend on which way the wind was blowing, but
they never acted on it when they had opportunity after
opportunity to do it. And when they did have the

(26:44):
opportunity to do it and they did it, it was
half assed that they never enforced anything. And Trump has
taken this and he's rage baited everybody and started a
fight between you know, Minneapolis and Minnesota and immigrant rights groups.

(27:05):
And he has made his base happy, he's angered the
other base. He's made rage bait. It's all going on
in all the while, there's a real issue over the
fact that we had what three hundred billion dollars the
largest covid era theft and fraud. And that'll be put

(27:28):
to the side because now what matters is the surface,
the anger and the fighting, which is frustrating, so frustrating.
Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at she had Benson shows
your acts, your Insta, YouTube and more. Meanwhile, I told

(27:51):
you guys, the Epstein stuff, it ain't going anywhere.

Speaker 25 (27:54):
House Democrats releasing images as they pressure the Trump administration
to release all of the Epstein files. Congress passed and
President Trump signed a law requiring the Justice Department to
release the records within thirty days. There are just two
weeks left, but an attorney for Epstein's co conspirator, Glenn Maxwell,
said she'll soon file a petition challenging her sex trafficking conviction.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
She's awful and uh, you suck, And no, your ass
should stay there, your as should even be where you're
at now, should be somewhere much harsher. But yesterday some
of the stuff they released included pictures that were freaking bizarre.
From the island.

Speaker 25 (28:35):
Video of the secluded hideaway shows the grounds, the pool,
the view, along with interior images of a bedroom and
bathroom and a room with a dental chair and face
masks of men tacked to the wall.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
It looked like a horror movie, it did when they
were walking through there. It looked like one of those
dystopian horror movies where they've got me and they don't
seem to be any famous men's face masks, and they're
not a face mask like you would think. It's very
much a eyes wide shut. It's a man's face mask.

(29:10):
It's just it's sickening. And why do you have a
dental chair, You're not a dentist. And then what they
didn't talk about there, they go into one of these
rooms that's like a living room, but there's a chalkboard
that you know, where you would normally have a TV.

(29:31):
And we're talking about you know again, this is a
this is an island, a private island. There's a chalkboard,
and on the chalkboard there's all kinds of writing and
the writing is you know, power, strength, fear, like it's
just what And then there's stuff that's redacted, which is weird.
It's a chalkboard, like what are you redacting? Well, obviously

(29:54):

(32:06):
We will discuss Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 26 (32:14):
Welcome to No Not the Country, The Institution, The Chat
Benson Show yesterday.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
The doctor who supplied Matthew Perry, the Friend star, with
the drugs that eventually killed him, faced the music of
how long he was going to be in jail? And
you know, I mean this is somebody. You know, my

(32:42):
kids watch friends, right, Like my daughter Lily, she's my stepdaughter.
She's fifteen. My son Jack, he's fifteen. They watch Friends.
It's crazy. So Matthew Perry, this was a big deal.
I mean, he and he had issue. Let's be Onreson
once he had issues. But there's no doubt that this

(33:04):
was going to be one of those days where you know,
victim impact, all of that stuff.

Speaker 27 (33:08):
The doctor who sold ketamine to Friend star Matthew Perry
leading up to his overdose death was face to face
with the actor's family as they described their heartache. Doctor
Salvador Placensia Criydon nodded in agreement as Perry's family accused
him of betraying his hippocratic oath. Perry's sister saying, instead
of protecting him, you exploited him.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, and exploited him money wise too, which was amazing.

Speaker 28 (33:34):
He was charging him two thousand dollars a vial for
something that he and doctor Chavez were getting for twelve
dollars a vial. They were making tens of thousands of
dollars off of Matthew Perry until Matthew Perry decided he
was paying too much and he went to a street
level dealer, another defendant in this case known as the
Ketamine Queen. There were text messages and went between the
doctors saying how much will this moron spend?

Speaker 21 (33:57):
And the judge.

Speaker 28 (33:58):
Yesterday went back to that saying this wasn't about treating him.
Look at this text message. You admit in this that
you were trying to make a lot of money off
of him.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
And they did. They made a lot of money off
of him because he was an addict with unlimited funds.
So what did he get? Fifty six hundred dollars fine,
four hundred dollars special assessment, requirement of two years of
supervisor release, following his prison time, which will be thirty months,

(34:29):
two and a half years. For this two and a
half years tragedy all around, wasted life and talent on
both sides, including the doctor. We moved from there to
the most searched words of the year. We're going to
do it for America, okay, and we're going to do
a year in special. All kinds of fun stuff coming

(34:49):
up when it comes to these things, but as far
as the year in searches, Top ten trending searches in
the US two thousand twenty five, Tariff's number ten, FIFA
Club World Cup nine, Government Shutdown eight, Deep Seek seven,
Zoramandani six, one, Big Beautiful Bill, Act five, iPhone seventeen,

(35:12):
La Boo Boo three, K Pop Demon Hunters two and
Charlie Kirk number one. A lot more on this later.
We also have the Spotify and Rapped as well, a
lot of stuff we didn't get to this hour. At
Chad Benson Show is your ex Insta, YouTube, and Facebook.
You can text and or voicemail the show three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three. We love hearing from

(35:35):
all of you right here The Chad Benson Show coming up,
hour number two of the program Venezuela. We're gonna talk
a little bit about that. Henry Quahar, Democrat was pardoned
by Trump. Talk a bit about that as well. And
we got some animal stories, people, We got some animal
stories that include a bear, what a dog? Dentist like

(35:58):
you mean for dogs? No, no, for for human beings,
the dentists. And wait, wait to hear this, and maybe
the story of the year. And I mean this, it
may be the story of the year. A raccoon. Let's
just say that's a problem. Can't hold this liquor? Oh yeah,
wait till.

Speaker 29 (36:14):
You hear this.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Wait till you hear this, Hour number two of The
Chad Benson Show. Straight head, This is.

Speaker 13 (36:23):
The Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Man a swirl. What's gonna happen? Oh, that's a good question.
That's a truly no question. Potentially, I don't I think well, obviously,
I mean Trump started telling her there's gonna be land.
Wait what he's already said that land?

Speaker 8 (37:09):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (37:10):
What do you mean land? I thought this was wait
what land? That's right where everybody talks about the boat strike.
And I'm going to play something and you'll listen to it,
but at the end, listen to what he says about am.

Speaker 30 (37:24):
He released video of that first boat strike on September second,
but not the second video. Will you release video of
that strike so that the American people can see for themselves.

Speaker 7 (37:35):
Well, I don't know what they have, but whatever they have,
we certainly released no problem. You know, we stopped every
boat we knock out. We saved twenty five thousand American lives.
And if you look at our if you look at
our numbers, the drugs coming in through ce are down
ninety one percent. I'm surprised it's nine percent. I don't

(37:57):
know's who's doing the nine percent, but it's sound ninety one.
And we're going to start very sooner on land. And
I'm sure you're thrilled to hear them.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Wait what land? So the boat strike? Lets let's before
we get to the land. There's a lot of issues there.
And the admiral, who I've talked to Mike Lions about
several other people in the military, is straight up. He's dude,
super cerebral. You know, we talked about Yesterda with Stoic

(38:26):
doesn't like the spotlight and I feel like you're gonna
you're paying the price for this. You're the one, you know,
Heck says fog a war. Even Republicans are asking questions
as they should be.

Speaker 24 (38:39):
Non Capitol Hill Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley will be in
the hot seat as fewer over the administration's boat strikes
in the Caribbean intensifying, and new details about that September
second operation that has some accusing the administration of war crimes.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah. Again, I I got a lot of questions. I
think a lot of people have a lot of questions.
There is this guy getting thrown under the boat. Was
there communication? Was there not communication? These are all very
fair questions. And you know, I go back to Hegseth.

(39:18):
This guy has I said it yesterday, I'll say it again.
He's a clown. I think most people are over him.
He does give you the opportunity to have some political
cover if things go sideways, because let's be real, we're
talking land now because Trump has made it heere. You know,

(39:40):
he's you know from the CIA. He we got the
CIA there too, a lot of it when he says it,
they're doing it Trump. Here's the issue. Trump and Maduro
are both doing a dance that they'd probably rather not do.
Maduro is literally dancing and saying, I'm not goingwhere last
longer than you, et cetera, et cetera. And let's be real,
he's a sob want amount of there. But on the

(40:02):
other side of it, I don't really give a rats
ass about Venezuela. You know, I wish them all the best,
but they don't play any role in my life so
or yours. You're you know, the twenty five thousand people,
I mean, they know where do they get that number?
They pull that straight out of the air well, the cocaine.
Let me tell you something. I tell you guys this
over and over again. I know drugs. Okay, I'm a

(40:25):
teetotaler for a reason. My father died of an overdose.
Before he died of an overdose, he overdosed a whole
bunch I know drugs, coke, meth, a lot of other stuff.

(40:47):
I said last night in the video that I did that.
You know, my dad did stuff, and I saw stuff
as a kid that no child should ever see. And
that stuff is the kind of thing. If you know
about fear and loading, Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson is
the kind of stuff where a hunter we go. I

(41:08):
don't know if we could do that. I don't know
if we should do any of that stuff. So I
know drugs and that number is out of nowhere, twenty
five thousand and again, why are we going in there?
And now we're talking not just drones or shooting some

(41:31):
guys who are smuggling something somewhere not quite sure what
exactly it is, with no one proof, Why are we
going into potentially into the country now on the land.

Speaker 8 (41:45):
I think you're going to see it very soon on land. Also, Yeah,
Please to.

Speaker 30 (41:48):
Be clear, do you support the decision to kill survivors after.

Speaker 17 (41:51):
The air No?

Speaker 7 (41:52):
I support the decision to knock out the boats and
whoever is piloting those boats most of them are gone.
But whoever piloting does votes they guilty of trying to
kill people in our country.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, I the why. But both of them are doing
this dance. See The issue now for Trump is he
can't walk away from this because he's gonna look weak, right,
and he doesn't want to be. You know, Barack Obama
traw the line in the sand, and then you cross
the line a whole bunch. Here's the red line and
you do nothing, so you have no choice, and you

(42:28):
would only strengthen Madurero Maduro can't look weak because you're
surrounded by people that, let's just say, not everybody there
likes you. Vast majority of people don't. And while you
have closed the ranks of your military and your fighters

(42:52):
and you've got loyalty, you never know with somebody goes, hey,
you know what, that tfty million dollars would look pretty
good at my house. So you've got to show strength,
you do. You have to show strength. So both of
them are doing this dance right now. Now the question

(43:13):
is if we if we are first of all, we
don't have the manpower. When I hear people go, we
got all these marines will be fine, No, they have nothing.
They have like four nineteen eighty you know something or
other planes, and they've got some old Russian planes and

(43:34):
they've got six thousand Stinger missiles. They have chaos, they
have terrain, they have an understanding of what is asked
of them and what to do because they're fighting for
their lives and also they're fighting for their well being. Meaning, hey,

(43:58):
if we do go in and goes sideways, what happens well,
everything's up for grabs, including the power structure. So you've
got to do it right. And we have fifteen thousand people,
give or take. No, you need one hundred thousand not fifteen.

(44:24):
Doesn't mean you can't go and do some sort of
covert action, which you could do, try to grab Maduro.
But as far as going in, because as we talk
about all the time, you know, we have my clients
on every Tuesday, going in is one thing. Occupying is
something completely different.

Speaker 31 (44:43):
In a transition scenario, when Madua leaves power, this is
a failed state riddled with illegal armed groups and foreign
terrorist organizations. The Cartel of the Sons that Brenda d
Awa fark Eln has, the Lah.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, lots of different groups and lots of groups as
well that are once again fighting for their own self interest.
So you've got the boulevars, you've got the military, you

(45:23):
have these other organizations, groups, cartels, freedom fighters, whatever that
you might have there that they can pay them to do.
And so what does that mean chaos? Potentially, That's why
two thousand and ten, fifteen thousand that ain't going to
get it done.

Speaker 31 (45:43):
You're dealing with a territory that's absolutely full of these
organizations here. You need the military through a transition and
then a new democratic Venezuela to provide a modicum of
stability and security for the people of Venezuela.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
I just feel like this is going to God will
and I hope and pray that Maduro just says, all right,
I'm out, I got money, I got this down. The
other backdoor channel bounces phenomenal. Great, right, great, But if
he doesn't, then, oh my god, what happens? Are we

(46:22):
biting off something here? First of all, that we have
no business whatsoever there, But it's the drugs again, the
drugs that kill come from China and Mexico. Twenty five
thousand people do not die a year because of cocaine.

(46:42):
It is fensonal. The numbers are right there. So again,
why are we there? Oil? Big deal? Flex some muscles,
big deal, I guess. I continue to say it's the oil,

(47:07):
it's the precious metals and the minerals and everything else,
as much as it is getting rid of him. And
I think there's a lot of push inside of the
White House, by the way, we'll touch on this a
little bit later from people who I think are taking
every advantage of the president as that circle is, you know,

(47:29):
gotten smaller and they're kind of running their own thing.
And I look at Marco, so this will be interesting
to see. God willing it doesn't happen. I hope it
doesn't happen. I hope it doesn't happen because we don't
need it at all. And I go back to this,
I don't give a blank about Venezuela. I want the

(47:52):
people to be happy. I want them to have all
of the prosperity and everything, but as far as the
day to day impact to my life nil three two three, five,

It's good to be right, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 13 (49:48):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
The insanity of the pardons that are going on at
the White House. I gotta be honest, I have no
idea anymore. I even saw Tom Tillis say who the
hell he is advising him from? You know, we could
talk about all the crypto people and all the financial
people and all of these things that you know, at
this point people aren't even paying attention to. But then
you had the Honduran president, which is again, don't even

(50:13):
get me started on that. And then yesterday Henry Quaar
what who that name sounds familiar? Yeah, Texas democrat, pretty powerful,
was definitely not happy about what was going on with
immigration under Biden, even though he was a Democrat. Understood
the realities of the unfettered access to our border and

(50:36):
then to our country, and was outspoken. But did he
do something or did he not do something?

Speaker 32 (50:43):
Quair and his wife were indicted for as prosecutors alleged
accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of what prosecutors
said were bribes from the nation of Azerbaijan, as well
as a Mexican bank. President Trump, today, in a truth
social post, said he's going to pardon quay Are, saying
that these charges were, as the president says, a trumped

(51:04):
up by the Biden administration.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Wait what I'm just not everything is trumped up, right,
Like that was the thing with the Hunter and President
we touched on that that wasn't trumped up. That guy,
by the way, as far as drug dealing, was way, way,
way more involved than Maduro. But I know there's a
lot of people out there was used understand edge Trump's

(51:29):
laid ninety Yes, you don't get it. He sees in
multi colors, seven different dimensions, and you just don't understand.
It's still bizarre though. Okay, maybe the George Santos won.
I mean, how can you put an American hero like
George Santos in jail?

Speaker 33 (51:47):
President Trump comes out and says, I'm going to pardon you.
He goes on to say from his post where he says,
quote Henry, I don't know you, but you can sleep
well tonight. Your nightmare is finally over. And Quaar responded
to President Trump, thanking him for the part and thanking
him for in a post on X quote his tremendous

(52:09):
leadership and for taking the time to.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Look at the facts.

Speaker 33 (52:12):
That is not something that you hear from really any
Democrat up here on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Three two, three, five, three eight twenty four to twenty
three at Ched Benson Show's your Extra Insta YouTube and
more let me know what you think about this, among
other things. Right here the Chad Benson Show, It's just
the whole Pardening thing is just you know, it came
to life with Clinton and the Mark Rich thing way
back in the day, and since then it's just been bizarre.

(52:39):
And then don't get me started on Biden. We've already
done that. It's just the whole thing. It's just so weird.
It has been a year to the day since Luigi
Mangione shot and killed allegedly Brian Thompson, the CEO of
United Healthcare in New York City, and we all remember

(53:01):
how just insane that was. He's in court again because
they're still trying to get evidence thrown out in this
case that would essentially pretty much destroy the case altogether.

Speaker 21 (53:17):
The hearing has the potential to sideline what prosecutors say
is some of the strung's evidence of Mengoni's guilt. Defense
lawyers they are trying to bar prosecutors from using key
evidence against him, including the alleged murder weapon and writings
that prosecutors say amount to a confession during the first
two days of the hearing. Earlier this week, prosecutors revealed
body camera footage of Mangioni's arrest and called the Pennsylvania

(53:39):
police officer who arrested him as a witness.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
And that police officer said, look a captive calm, and
you know he said he was nervous as hell. The
whole thing though, really hinges on this. Did they read
him his rights, tell him what they were doing, did
they address any of those things, or did they unlawfully
search him and sees his property because without I mean

(54:03):
inside of his backpack again allegedly gun writing all of
those things. If that gets thrown out, I don't know
what they're gonna do. Coming up more stuff Urban word
of the Day, a bunch of otherfts uf Chad.

Speaker 16 (54:15):
Benson Joe, then Chad Benson Joe, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
All right, normally we do nature will mess you up.
We know about those things because nature can mess you
up in many ways. A lot of times it's the
animals that mess you up. Why is that? Because people
are stupid and they're like, hey, look it's a buffalo
and it's furried. It doesn't understand that all these other
people hate it, but I'm a vegetarians, so I'm gonna it,
get a selfie with it. And then what happens, Well,

(55:02):
it kills them and we laugh because you're an idiot.
But sometimes nature, well just make you go, oh, that's interesting,
that's hilarious, that's bizarre, and that is well a little
scary right like you just you're here to sleep.

Speaker 11 (55:19):
Yogi Happening now in Alta, dina incredible video here you're
looking at a large bear, somehow squeezing itself into and
out of a tiny crawl space under a home. A
homeowner facing a serious problem today saying the stubborn animal
won't leave.

Speaker 34 (55:34):
The bear right now is underneath that home behind me.
How do I know that? Well, throughout the day we've
had lookie loose, all sorts of people come by here
trying to get close. And that is when from our
vantage point here we've heard a loud, loud roar. That's
when those folks have been coming running right back towards us.
Crawl spaces under homes can be tight, even for a bear,

(55:56):
but this now famous Altadena bear has made the narrow
space under Ken Johnson's home a den for the winter.

Speaker 35 (56:04):
I think the longer he's there, the more comfortable he's
going to be in his phone end.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Yeah you think, Look all right, he's there just to
hang out. By the way, it's a big bear. Well
now let's go over the poem again. Okay, here's the poem.
If it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back.
If it's white, good night. So brown bears, if you

(56:29):
play dead, they want they're not interested. Black bears. By
the way, if you play dead, they're like, oh good
you're here, because I didn't want to chase you, but
now I don't have to because I will attack you.
And if it's a polar bear, you're dead, so it
really doesn't matter.

Speaker 34 (56:41):
The bear is famous in this neighborhood along Alta Dina
Dry below the San Gabriel Mountains because it's been spotted
almost every week for over six months. Some residents believe
the Eden fire destroyed its home, which is why it
now roams their neighborhood looking for shelter and food.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Our neighbors had a bear, and I hear now there's
one across this reed and it's.

Speaker 34 (57:01):
In mountains, and that we burned, so they had to
go somewhere.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
They had no place to live. Where are they gonna go?
And nice stark basements, perfect place.

Speaker 34 (57:10):
But the size of this particular bear who is tagged
concerns Johnson, who is working on a plan to draw
the bear out of the crawl space then block the
entrance with sandbags.

Speaker 8 (57:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
See, see what he's saying is it's not going anywhere.
It's underneath your house, sir. I don't have a spray
for that, and it doesn't have anywhere else to go.
And the funny thing is the news is there, but
I'm still trying to figure out exactly where's the animal
control people that come over and go, hey, you know what,

(57:42):
We're going to tranquilize it and take it somewhere that
it can be. At this point, because it's been around
so many people, we're gonna have to take it to,
you know, some sort of place where it cannot be
rehabbed or put out and let it run around in
the wild again. But no or or or we can
let it stay here.

Speaker 35 (57:57):
It's terrifying. I have to stop shaking when I like,
you know, moments ago. I'm starting to get used to it,
but it sounds like a dragon.

Speaker 36 (58:05):
It's coming around, and I think it's just a matter
of time. Something's going to happen if they're that bold
to get into under the house. And I've talked to
people up the street and they've had the same thing.
The bear has torn the door out and they go
in there.

Speaker 34 (58:19):
Johnson has reached out to the California Department of Fishing Wildlife,
who says they're aware of the situation and will determine
the next steps, which could include capturing the bear and
transporting it back up to the mountains.

Speaker 29 (58:31):
Keep your distances as much as you can, make sure
that you're giving the bear enough space to escape.

Speaker 8 (58:37):
That's a huge element.

Speaker 29 (58:39):
Bears don't want to be around us any more than
we want to be around them, and if they feel
like their corner that could be a problem. But if
they see an escape route, they're going to take it.
And then you also just want to make sure that
you're being loud, making yourself big, waving your hands around,
and slowly backing away.

Speaker 34 (58:55):
And Fishing Wildlife also says it's securing crawl spaces, especially
during this time of year, during the colder months, is
extremely important.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
There, you guys go now, you know, and fission Wildlife's
gonna get on it just again. The you know, maybe
the best thing to do is get a hotel. Bob,
He's like, it sounds like a dragon. It's actually not
a dragon because those aren't real unless it's a Kimodo dragon,
and they're not gonna live underneathrough crawl space. We move
from there to the Doggy Dentist.

Speaker 37 (59:27):
Headed to the dentist. Don't be alarmed if you see
this therapy dogs all across the country. Our four legged
friends are taking the fear and anxiety away from going
to the dentist. And meet Softy and Parker Labberdoodles, who
are employees at Lyndon Dental Healthcare in Beverly Hills. Nancy
Mydell patiently waits for her appointment, and look who's sitting

(59:50):
with her. It's Softy. When it's time for her procedure,
both dogs jump on her lap to cuddle up.

Speaker 38 (59:57):
It's cambing. It reduces the fear, reduces the anxiety, and
it's just awesome. This made a huge difference.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
By the way. When I mean it climbs up, you
know when they talk about that, it climbs you're laying back,
you know, and then it gets on top of you
kind of thing, which I'm sure is extremely calming.

Speaker 37 (01:00:18):
They're also trained to follow specific commands like X ray,
X ray, Parker X ray, and they know to leave
the room.

Speaker 39 (01:00:26):
There has to be something about having a dog on
your lab and the fact that they breathe in and
out and they wait on your chest.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
It really does help people to calm down.

Speaker 37 (01:00:36):
Can you imagine having an office without dogs here? Yeah,
like any good dog, both stay with Nancy for the
duration of the procedure. They sure are one big help.

Speaker 38 (01:00:47):
I always look forward to when I walked in the
door to seeing Parker and people.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
You know, it's interesting because the dentist is one of
those primal fears because you know it's going to hurt.
It's weird. They're close to you, right, you know, they're
looking at you, they're in your It's it's an odd thing.
And maybe that, you know, I'm sure that probably is
very relaxing. Plus you're thinking about, my god, there's a
dog on top of me. My aunt and I we're gingers.
We're ginger, just you know, and we don't do well

(01:01:13):
under anesthesia. By not doing well, it just doesn't work.
Like you know, I can go get ten shots in
my mouth and it'll take hours for anything to happen,
and it just doesn't work. So she has done like
acupuncture stuff and it's been very interesting where they've like
attached things to her her ears and stuff like clothes.

(01:01:34):
It's just it's so interesting. But there's that primal fear
when it comes to the dentist. So, yeah, could I
see a dog being a helper? Yeah, absolutely, I could,
one hundred percent. It's not like the dog's doing a procedure. Oh,
the dog can do a procedure. Well, there you go, dog.
Dds we move from there too. Is your cat fat?

(01:01:55):
Is your cat fat?

Speaker 40 (01:01:56):
It's actually really fascinating and could eventually help keep your
pets up home healthy if they suffer from obesity.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
So here's what we're talking about.

Speaker 40 (01:02:03):
A pharmaceutical company out of San Francisco, it's called o'cava
is beginning a pilot study of a GLP one drug
for cats with obesity.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Excuse me little side note here. America. How great is
America when you think about it other places? Is like, man,
we got inflation, that's rampant. Our neighbors may invade us.
We have a many civil war going on. We don't
have enough food and you're like, that sucks. Did you
guys know that we have an obesity problem with our cats?

(01:02:34):
I don't see any cats around here. Ours are show
big that we've had to well, we've got to put
them on weight loss drugs.

Speaker 40 (01:02:43):
What they're calling it MIAW one, and they're doing it
differently than adults, not a weekly injection. A vet leading
the study told The New York Times that it's a
small implant that slowly releases the medication for six months.
The company expects to get the results back by the
next by summer here then start a larger clinical trial
with hopes of getting FDA approval in two years or less.

(01:03:06):
So if it all works out, it could be a
game changer for both cats and dogs, because it turns
out that sixty percent of all dogs and cats in
America are clinically obese. Hundreds of thousands of them have diabetes. Now,
some bets are actually already doing this off label for
pets with diabetes, but they are calling this the new
frontier in medicine for your pets.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
They're like us, sixty percent of them are faties. They're fatties.
You know what's funny is our dogs are really thin,
you know, and our cats really thin. But man, a
fat cat is hilarious, isn't it. I mean, I know
it's wrong, but it is pretty damn hilarious. When you
see a fat cat and it tries to roll over

(01:03:46):
and it tips over. It's so I know it's wrong.
I know it's got you know, looks like Wilfrid Brimley diabetes.
And finally to the story of the year. As far
as I'm concerned, ah, Raccoon, have you been drinking?

Speaker 8 (01:04:03):
Tonight?

Speaker 20 (01:04:04):
Raccoon employees at the Ashley Navy c store tell me
that the little guy was found literally face down next
to the toilet, leaving behind a trail of broken bottles, ransect, shelves,
and one very confused that clean up crew. And tonight
I learned that this tipsy little troublemaker, now an Internet sensation,
is actually bringing the community together.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
That's what it takes. I think they're gonna have an intervention.
Deer Frid. We love you, we hate that you're destroying
in your life. It is a tragedy. We want you
to get better. It's like, I don't need any you guys.
You know what sucks you guys, want to start a business.

(01:04:44):
And what we talked about last week trash bandits aka raccoons,
the furry hamburgler. They are showing signs of being domesticated.
Their snouts are getting shorter over time. The shorter the
nose in the snout, the cuter we think it is,

(01:05:07):
and that's usually a sign of domestication. This one's aura.
This listen, I'm already messicated. Okay, guys, don't you've you
guys don't even know the hell I've been through.

Speaker 13 (01:05:21):
He left himself in the bathroom, passed out, drawn after
he probably knocked over a good thirty to forty bottles
of liquor.

Speaker 20 (01:05:30):
Officer Samantha Martin is not describing a college party or
a bachelor weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
She's describing a raccoon.

Speaker 13 (01:05:36):
Supposedly, he crashed the ABC store on Black Friday. He
was found right when the store manager got there.

Speaker 20 (01:05:44):
Martin, an animal control officer for the Hanover County Animal
Protection says the call came in on Saturday morning, and
the pictures tell the story. The little guy passed out
face down next to the toilet, surrounded by broken bottles
and shelves that looked like they lost a bar fight.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Listen, I'm gonna tell you guys like I better stop him.
You know, it gets a little weird because it's a
little racist and anti semetic. I don't get smatic here.
Know what's funny is, did you see the facts that
we kind of have hands. That's pretty cool. That's cool.
They say we're panda bears. No, no, we call you
trash pandas because you just think I'm track. This is

(01:06:21):
why I drink.

Speaker 20 (01:06:22):
And this crime of passion was actually not caught on camera.
Officer Martin tells me that the way this sneaky little
band that got inside of the ABC store here is
by falling through those ceiling tiles, wiping out all security
camera footage as he fell through the ceiling, and it's
taken the internet by storm.

Speaker 23 (01:06:37):
I thought it was just a generic viral post that
happened somewhere else, and I was done that it just
happened up the street from our house.

Speaker 20 (01:06:43):
Ashley and Quincy Brown say they stopped by the ABC
store off North Washington Highway to see the scene of
the crime bar themselves.

Speaker 23 (01:06:50):
I saw it around lunchtime, and I immediately send it
to so many friends so I can see why everyone
else loves it. It's just the cutest, funniest after Hillias
thing named him.

Speaker 13 (01:06:58):
You named him what you name him?

Speaker 24 (01:06:59):
Back in Puny Cooen.

Speaker 20 (01:07:02):
And they're not the only ones.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
He must have been going through a lot of stuff.

Speaker 20 (01:07:05):
I must have just been too stressed out, kids at home,
Mom probably thrown through the roof.

Speaker 19 (01:07:11):
Who knows.

Speaker 20 (01:07:12):
An incident to bringing the community together, Martin says the
raccoon was released back into the wild after sleeping off
his bad decisions for a few hours.

Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
Raccoonyc's not my name is stupid. I know you think
you are. God. My name's Frank. Okay, guy's so foolish.
These people, did you guys know? People thought I was
EI what this is? Thought I was EI, like intelligence,

(01:07:41):
you know, the ED official intelligence artificial Yeah, that's why
I said official intelligence. You gotta stop your drinking. Are
you have a problem? Okay?

Speaker 20 (01:07:50):
Well, in all seriousness, Martin says the ABC store did
have to file a report for the loss of product,
and she wants to remind everyone to report a wild
animal two officials if you see it and you touch them.
That's something that folks probably don't want to do.

Speaker 30 (01:08:03):
But look, as you're saying with the community coming together.

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
I think the little girl called it what cooney cone
and I had a yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:08:09):
And the workers at the ABC store we're telling me
people have been coming in all day just to see
the store and ask if that's where it happened.

Speaker 24 (01:08:15):
He is so brand.

Speaker 20 (01:08:15):
Okay, we can rust we can rust Eata tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
That's what they think. By the way, is to let
you guys know, local news is stupid. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your ex your instah cheer Reden Birch Gold. Kids,
let's say you saying about gold right now. Burt Gold
is doing something for you. Ho ho ho an amazing thing.
But gold is so smart when you think about how

(01:08:40):
first of all, there's a finite amount of gold on
the planet. Crypto. Who knows what's going to happen with that?
AI again, who knows what's going to happen with that inflation?
All of these things. One of the thing about gold
is it's been around forever and there's a finite amount
of it, And protecting yourself with gold is great and
Birch Gold is the best around. That's what I want

(01:09:00):
you to do. Take advantage of what they're doing from
now until the twenty second of this month. When you
buy five thousand dollars in gold from Birch Gold, you're
gonna get a one ounce silver bar for free. HO
got to take advantage of it between now and the
twenty second of this month. How do you do it? Simple?
You text the word Benson to ninety eight ninety eight
ninety eight now for Birch Gold. They're going to get

(01:09:22):
you out all of the information you need to show
you how you can. Maybe if you want to move
over an existing IRA or four one K and get
it backed by a tax sheltered IRA in gold, you

the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (01:10:00):
I think the Scissor sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 41 (01:10:02):
Same is that portion of the program where we dive
into the vernacular the words, the sayings and phrases that
are out there that the youth of America are using.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
And by the way, the youth of America can also
be us, because we're all young at heart and spirit. Okay,
so it can be us, but mostly it's not. It's
it's it's the younger generation. Now it's time for the
urban word of the day. The young have a vocabulary
all their own, and we break it down for you.
It's called the urban word.

Speaker 8 (01:10:36):
Of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
The urban word of the day is just in time
for the holiday season. And I say that because again,
the urban word of the day can be two words
or phrase. Rom com job. Wait what rom com job? Now?
These are jobs with a whimsical quality and her tailor
made for a romantic comedies like the Hallmark movies and

(01:11:01):
things like that. Okay, right, Like they always say, there's
a reason that plumbers and whatnot are in the dult films. Okay,
but rom com jobs. Greeting card writer, bookshop owner, oh yeah,
aquarium victionarian, playwright, apartment dresser. Right, so somebody who addresses

(01:11:23):
like people at the department store. It's phenomenal. I love that.
I love it because I'm, you know, a big fan
of as you guys know, the Hallmark movies rom com
job is yourn urban word of the day. That was
the urban word of the day. Now you know, and
you do know. And starting Monday, we're going to be
doing the best of holiday movies, music, counting it down,

(01:11:49):
having fun. We got a lot of good stuff. And yes, kids,
I'm going to make an announcement tomorrow about our radio play.
We're doing Chadmark, which is a Hallmark radio play that
I've written, and I'm going to allow some of you
guys to audition. What oh Goodness three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your ex your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook and more? If

(01:12:13):
you missing the show, grab that podcast right here on
The Chad Benson Show. Coming up our number three of
the program. More on the economy. How many jobs have
we lost this year? Also, an arrest has been made
in the pipe bomb incidents at the DNC headquarters and

(01:12:34):
RNC headquarters on January sixth, twenty twenty one. Remember that,
and arrest has been made. We will discuss that more
on Venezuela. We got a little watch trending as well,
so much good stuff on the way. And again, if
you miss an the show, grab the podcast We'll be
living in tonight on the YouTube, the Facebook, the instant,
all the other things. Right around seven o'clock Eastern, It

(01:12:55):
is the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
Alrighty, alrighty, we got breaking news. So you remember January sixth,
twenty twenty one, something happened. I couldn't remember what it was,
but some happened. But something also happened that wasn't solved,
if you will, a mystery of pipe bombs that were
at the headquarters of the DNC and RNC headquarters in

(01:13:56):
DC on that day.

Speaker 42 (01:13:57):
The FBI fanned out this morning and made this arrest
at the suspect's home as we understand it, and the
suspect is a male. We don't have a name yet,
but there is a sealed complaint charging this suspect with
placing those two bombs in the hours before the January
sixth riots. But authorities are telling us they don't understand
or have a motive. They do, though, have some information

(01:14:20):
connecting this suspect to anarchist writings. So it's not clear
at all that it was connected to the January sixth attacks,
after all the speculation that perhaps it was intended as
a diversion. Remember these were real devices, two pipe bombs
placed outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters in
downtown Washington, d C. They could have gone off, but

(01:14:42):
luckily they did not.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
The question is was he there on January sixth, because
you could have said it was a diversion. If he
went and dropped the bombs off, then left and didn't
think anything else of it, well then you know. But
anarchisted so far. Remember this is what you're going to
hear throughout the day, different things. Some things may have
a monicum of truth, some things may be real. A

(01:15:05):
vast majority of it is people running to be first,
not so much running to make sure they get the
story right.

Speaker 42 (01:15:14):
And as you said, this was a massive investigation, one
of the biggest in the FBI's history. They sifted through
thousands and thousands of pages of records. They tried to
compare credit card records for purchases of items that were
used to make the bomb with cell phone records of
people who were around the site.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
That night.

Speaker 42 (01:15:35):
Remember, they had video, but it didn't show a clear
facial image.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
They had a height of.

Speaker 42 (01:15:40):
The suspect five seven or five eight. They had a
unique shoe, a Nike shoe that was not sold widely
that they tried to use so identify the subject.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
They even issued a five.

Speaker 42 (01:15:50):
Hundred thousand dollars reward for information leading to arrest, and
they had almost no leads. But what's interesting here is
that we're told by two sources close to the case
that the information used to put together the case against
the suspect was sitting in FBI files and was gathered
as perhaps in twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two,
so could have been used to make an arrest a

(01:16:12):
while ago. And they re examined this case.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
And again, why you know, who's been pushing for this
is Thomas Massey out in Kentucky. Several others have and
a lot of times here's the problem. Conspiracy theories, all
the stuff that starts to happen, then it goes sideways,
and then the administration comes in and it's something they
don't care about. They were focusing on January sixth that day,

(01:16:37):
and they thought, you know, maybe we got this person
in custody, who knows why they didn't do it. But
the fact that it's sitting there after a while and
you still don't do anything, It's like, what the hell
is going on? And I don't normally follow these type
of things, but it just shows you again, sometimes it's
the will of the agency to do something rather than

(01:17:00):
and it's the political will that pushes that, as we
all know, rather than whether or not it's right and
wrong and you're serious about finding out what the hell happened.

Speaker 42 (01:17:07):
That's going to be a partial vindication for Deputy FBI
Director Dan Bongino, who has been exhorting the FBI to
take another look at the evidence in this case. What
it doesn't do, though, is stand up the bizarre theories
that Bongino was expounding as a podcaster when he was
trying to suggest that this was an inside job and
that the FBI was covering up what it knew. There's

(01:17:28):
no evidence of that. As you know, this case has
been the subject of right wing conspiracy theories, and just
recently there was a story that tried to suggest that
there was a particular woman was the suspect based on
gate analysis.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
That's not the case, she's not.

Speaker 42 (01:17:44):
The suspect, and her lawyer is saying she's completely innocent
and has nothing to do with this. But again, this
arrest appears to solve a five year mystery and one
of the biggest ends, one of the biggest investigations. If
these allegations are proven in recent FBI history, Guys.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
Again, who the person is? You know, they'll have a
press car. I always like to give these things a
day or two to breathe, because there's just so much
around it that swirls, and sometimes it's like one of
those things where you gotta let all the dust settle
and you go, Okay, let's figure this out if we're
serious about it. Very interesting three two, three, five, three eight,

(01:18:23):
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show, Is your
ex your Insta, YouTube, Facebook? And more? We move from
there too, speaking of bombs Bendsuela, did we commit a
war crime? We being who who knew what the FuG
of war? Well, stuff is going to get put out

(01:18:45):
there and done today because, as I tell you guys
in front of the camera, rarely do you find out
anything real behind closed doors. Well that's when okay, okay,
what the hell really happened.

Speaker 43 (01:19:02):
It's expected that today's closed door briefings with members of
Congress but the September second airstrike, will include extended surveillance
video of the operation, including the second strike. That's according
to an official familiar with today's plan meetings. ABC News
reports that the second strike targeted the two survivors because
they were deemed to still be in the fight. According
to a source familiar with the incident, that determination was

(01:19:24):
made because the two survivors had climbed back into the boat,
and we're believed to be in communication with other vessels nearby,
and we're gathering some of the drugs that had been
on the boat.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
I'm going to say this, as I say every time
we talk about this, I don't care about Venezuela. I
don't think we should be bombing any boats. I think
we need to have proof, but I don't want to
get into any wars. I don't want to start any wars.

(01:19:57):
I don't want to have this false pretense that were
going in there and somehow we're doing something magical because
we're stopping all these drugs from coming here. When it
is a small amount of drugs and it's cocaine, and
I'm look, this is nothing to do with Maduro. He's
a bad dude. Chavez, bad dude. They've run that country
into the ground. That being said, I don't care, it

(01:20:21):
doesn't affect my life. I thought this administration was that
administration of we're not doing these things. Well, it feels
like we're gonna do those things. And if we committed
a war crime, that's a fair question to ask. Did

(01:20:42):
we blow up two dudes who were in no way,
shape or form. They were getting ready to call in
a strike force. Oh, they weren't. There weren't any danger.
There were thousands of miles from our shore floating around.
They're no danger to us. But they have drugs. And

(01:21:06):
I told you guys this yesterday. Drugs won. The funny
thing is, for all the stuff we talk about drugs,
who's the biggest drug dealer besides the US government? Okay,
let's stuff besides that. Who got us to the point
where we've got the insanity that we see on the streets.
Oh that's right, the Sackler family. How about blowing them up?

(01:21:30):
I'm kidding, it's a joke. That's called sarcassm They helped
drive this opioid epidemic with oxycotton in a way that
is terrifying. And what have they've done. They've pled guilty
on stuff, They're paid huge fines. Purdue pharmapled guilty on

(01:21:52):
some stuff. They've paid fines. How many people went to
jail zero, how many were blown up in a boat.
So when people go, they got cocaine. Okay, five thousand
people a year die from a cocaine overdose. Fentanyl is

(01:22:13):
the issue. And you can draw a lot of that
back to what to the oxy cotton epidemic. That's an issue.
We're not invading Purdue Pharma. Maybe we should. Maybe we
should speaking of invading, will we we know?

Speaker 44 (01:22:33):
In the last couple of days, President Trump has said
multiple times that he is moving towards some sort of
land action in Venezuela. But exactly what that looks like,
whether that involves some sort of troop presence on the ground,
whether that's just airstrikes, whether we really don't know. And
I think that's what this entire region is really looking at.
When you have so many thousands of military members in

(01:22:54):
the waters off the coast here, But.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
How many members do you need? So we've talked to
our good buddy Mike Clein's on numerousications, he's put the estimate.
So we have ten to fifteen thousand marines and navy.
There's no army, and as Mike always says, until the
army gets there, it didn't happening. But you would need

(01:23:20):
in excess of one hundred thousand troops if you're going
to go in for a true land evasion. Now you
may go in and try to snatch and grab Ma durea,
but one hundred thousand, No, what are we doing? What

(01:23:42):
are we doing? It's and you know, Trump is signaling, Yeah,
this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna it's gonna
be on land next. I hope not. I hope cooler
commer heads prevail. Maduro takes whatever money he has hidden
away and the gold and takes the edy I mean,

(01:24:05):
a slash, a sad plan, and disappears somewhere and they
can start to rebuild. But at the end of the day,
why does it matter to us? Just curious because Venezuela

(01:24:28):
doesn't keep you and I awake at night, and we've
got no reason to be there, and to sit there
and say he's the worst drug lord blah, blah blah
blah blah. And then to release Juan Orlando Hernandez, the
Honduran president that works with the Sinelo and cartel and

(01:24:49):
El Chapo after getting forty five year prison sentence is
just insane. Let me know what you think. Three two,
three five, I have three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at chat Benson Show, is your acts? Your insta
coming up a little? What's trending? But first, relief factor?
Do you need relief? Of course you do? Do you

(01:25:11):
want relief? Of course you do. Relief factor can provide
that it's got amazing things like I make a three
fatty acids res veritrol cusam indakar and what's that supposed
to do? Each supports the body's inflammatory sponse for a
different metabolic pathway as we get older, joins, hurt, muscles,
hurt aches and pains of just getting older. This eliminates

(01:25:31):
that it's not addictive, right, it's natural, The formula safe.
You can take it every single day and it helps

lot of stuff still to get to, including YouTube, new media.
What are the biggest searches of twenty twenty five?

Speaker 16 (01:30:54):
Chad Benson Show, Son, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 13 (01:31:17):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
We pride ourselves around these parts is people who want
to know the truth. You know, I'm cutting a different
path in my industry. The first time that people here, Oh,
you're a talk radio so you're like uber conservative. I'm like, no,
so you're liberal. No, I'm independent. But above all else,
I'm about truth. Parties mean very little to me because

(01:31:44):
parties or corporations they change the things that they you know,
the things that they would have on their you know,
their board, this is our mission statement, right those things
that doesn't mean anything to them anymore. Right, The Democrats
and Republicans are so far away from whatever is on
their mission statements and what they believe. I care about truth,

(01:32:08):
and we live in a new world of media, and
you know, I've cut a path that's a lot different,
and I've got a lot of pushback. Why is that
you criticize Trump? And well, then that means you criticize me. No,
that's you're silly, You're ridiculous. I'm not saying I told
you so.

Speaker 17 (01:32:24):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
What I always try to tell everybody is I care
about us. I care about America. I care about Americans.
I care about us as people, as individuals and as
a collective. I care about us. I want us to
do well. And we live at a time now where
it's so ridiculous. You know, yesterday at my local show,

(01:32:48):
somebody texting goes, do you think anybody else on the
station whatever criticized Trump? And I said, honest answer, no,
I mean they'll peripherally do something where they're like yeah
that quite or no, off there they will. But see,
I always tell everybody I want to be me. That's
what I do. I care about us, whether you're on

(01:33:10):
the right or the left, whether you're uber progressive or
super conservative, I care about us. And we've been fed
lies for so long and it's been super charged. You know,
Rage Bay. When I was talking about Rage bait. You know,
that's the word of the year according to Oxford Dictionary,
although it could be Oxford and you know, Mississippi, but

(01:33:32):
I don't think it is. And because that's to elicit emotions,
I want people to hear something, go oh is that true?
Is that real? Why are they saying something different? And
why are you telling me something different? And I've always
said this for years. If you want affirmation, I'm not
the show for you. If you want information and entertainment,

(01:33:54):
then let's have some fun. And I'm finding you're seeing
some people out there, especially in the new media world.
That's the beauty of it. The new media landscape gives
everybody the opportunity to have a voice. Last night, I
went on a show that you know, guys are libertarian,
pretty conservative, punk rock. Though we had a good time,

(01:34:14):
and we had a great time. Good dudes, smart dudes.
They really want to focus on Tennessee, but they also
nationally focus on a lot of stuff too. But you know,
being able to see you two guys out there who
are doing something like that, You're like, this is the
new media world, and the most important thing is in
any of this it's truth. Truth matters more than anything else.

(01:34:38):
But part of that is accepting the fact that we're
going to hear some things that we don't like. And
we have this weird thing where like, we're going to
shoot the messenger if you will, because you've delivered something
to me that I don't want to hear. So and
then the tribe will be mad at me because I
am not independent in thought is what they're going to
you know, in reality, I am. I'm punk rock independent thought.

(01:35:01):
That's what I like. Don't tell me bs all right,
don't spin it, just give me it. I want the data.
I want the facts. I want the numbers, no matter
what it is. And yes, sometimes it's tougher to get
sometimes not everything is clear because the world's gray. Sometimes
you get partial facts. But a lot of times what

(01:35:21):
you get is whatever that side of the aisle is
going to tell you and leave out all the nasty stuff.
And we don't do that here. We don't. And I'm
connecting with more and more people who are influencers are like,
I kind of like, you know where you're going with this,
And I said, it's what matters in the world that
we live in now. Truth is now in people subject

(01:35:42):
It's not subjective. It's not. Winston Churchill in War Memoirs
said something that I believe is as spot on as
it can be. The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it,
ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

(01:36:08):
It's not just about talking about the truth. It's also
being able to accept the truth, which is where I
think a lot of people have issues because in today's
world of politics, what happens we identify as whatever we
voted for, whatever cultural issue, and so if our armor

(01:36:30):
of identity, which in many cases is glasshouse kind of armor,
is pierced, we get pissed and we'd run the other way.
And we've got to learn challenge yourself every day. I
wish more people would challenge their beliefs. I wish more
people would have the cajones enough to say, you know what,

(01:36:51):
I looked into it. That's not right. It's not people
say when you do you because I meet people every day,
I mean all over wherever I go, and they asked
me questions and they'll say, are you you know? What

(01:37:13):
do you talk about? What's your agenda? And I say,
my agenda, first of all, is to entertain. I was
like I have fun. I mean, that's why we had
the drunk Raccoon on last hour because that was hilarious.
But infotainment right, information, entertainment, data facts, and we give
the opinions based on those. But one of the big issues,

(01:37:35):
like I said, is people can't handle it. They can't
They focus on the minutia, can't handle the bigger picture
and only see things to the prism that they're living in,
which is somewhat understandable to a certain extent. But I
sit here and laugh because when you think about it,

(01:38:06):
what should be happening When you go to a website,
a media source, cable, twos, network, whatever it is, and
they give you all the things you want to hear
and that you hope are right and you believe to
be right, and then when they fail and it's not right,

(01:38:27):
you continue to go back again and again, and you
don't hold them accountable. We're saying, hey, you're lying to me.
The media wants to know why they're not trusted, and
I'm talking about the corporate media. You spent four years
kissing Biden's ass, lying to the American people what they

(01:38:50):
could see with their own eyes, and then when things
went sideways. You finally had to go, oh yeah, why
would anybody go back to that? And again, sometimes you're
not going to get all of the story. But if

(01:39:14):
I was lied to that much by an individual, I'd
be like, I don't want any part of this anymore.
I'm going to go somewhere else, find new friends, do it.
We need to do that. And again, sometimes people are
gonna make mistakes. I'm gonna make mistakes. Not all the
data have is one hundred percent of everything, and I

(01:39:34):
want to know about it. It is very frustrating out there.
And I bring this up today because you know, as
the show grows, as the YouTube's growing, and all this
other stuff, I always say, I'm building something here that
is bigger than just a radio show about something or

(01:39:56):
you know, the the entertainment. I want us to have dialogue.
I want us to have conversations. I want us to
think about things in a way that's pragmatic, that's not
based on emotions and rage bait. You know, easy, rage
bait is so easy, so easy, And above all else,

(01:40:23):
treat each other kindly. And we need more of that.
And we need more independent journalists who are taking opinion,
because that's what they're going to do, because you also
have to be able to entertain and have some opinion
on certain things. This is Tara Palmery, who by the way,

(01:40:44):
does an amazing job when it comes to Epstein and
she's been at it for years, but she's an independent journalist,
and she was talking. They did a big like media
thing and they had Don Lemon and Ben Shapiro and
a bunch of They had all of them, you know,
in in this big thing talking about you know where
media is going, you know in particular things like CBS

(01:41:05):
is what you're seeing now? You know they Again you
want to know why nobody trusts you, guys, Go see
the BS that you've pushed for years, either against Trump
and again there's a lot trump wise you could easily
point out, but a lot of it was BS and
you ran with it because it was about entertaining an
audience in the niche that you picked. And the fact

(01:41:26):
that they come back to you shows you how ignorant
they are.

Speaker 39 (01:41:29):
And this is the problem. Like, you can chase an
audience and you can tell them exactly what they want
to hear. But is that is that ethical? I mean
not to me if that was the only way that
I could have a channel, then I wouldn't do it.
But I believe there are people out there that do
want information that is based in you know, just actually
traditional journalism, but without the corporate hierarchy and all of

(01:41:51):
the politics that you have to go to just get
a story actually publish. I mean, I've worked in newsrooms before,
some of the biggest newsrooms in the world. It can
be really hard, and they are very timid when it
comes to the facts, and sometimes you just need to
be able to say the facts and and you know,
the audiences they'll they'll figure out if you're for them
or they're not. But last time I checked, there are

(01:42:12):
millions and what was it, two hundred million people on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (01:42:15):
They'll find you it's the largest TV network.

Speaker 39 (01:42:18):
Yeah, I'd rather be there than on TV.

Speaker 1 (01:42:21):
Amen. People ask me, you know, Chad, you do your stuff,
and why don't you go on those news shows because
what are they They're rage bait, scream and yell at
each other. Nothing gets you know. You're not there to
have a serious conversation, are you. No, I said the
other night, I'm watching some I think it it had
Scott Jennings and you know, there was like several different

(01:42:44):
people in Abby Phillips show, everybody was talking at once
and it went on for like thirty five seconds, and
I'm like, what is this? What did did anybody figure
this out? But you're not there to say, hey, what's
the reality of this. You're there to stir the pot

(01:43:06):
because we have figured out the algorithms do that. But
I think things are changing and for the better.

Speaker 39 (01:43:14):
I don't have a political agenda. My agenda is the truth.
And if truth is against your political agenda, then I'm sorry,
you know that is My agenda is getting down to
the bottom of it. And yeah, I can grill people.
And some people might say, oh, you shouldn't platform George Santos,
And to me, I'm like, George Santos is an avatar

(01:43:34):
of our moment, of this post truth moment, and like,
to me, I wanted to know, like how did you
get this part in? Like do you think that it's
all about loyalties?

Speaker 1 (01:43:44):
I love that I'd interview George Santos to ask him,
how did you become the greatest volleyball astronaut in the
history of mankind? I don't know if we'd tell me.
The other day, I had Afton bain On who ran
here in Tennessee, and she she's the new AOC, She's new.
You know all this they pushed out there and people
were pissed here because you didn't scream at her. The

(01:44:04):
other people would have had her crying, and I go,
and that accomplishes what nothing because you're not interested in
what she has to say, even if it's true, Because
if that was true, then your identity would be well,
it would be some of it would be pierced, and
then you would So it's just easier to go scream

(01:44:27):
and yell. We should demand truth. And when people are
trying and they get stuff wrong, because like I said,
I'll screw up a whole bunch, I'll get stuff wrong.
But when people are out there telling you what you
want to hear, and then you find out eventually all

(01:44:49):
the things they said was bs. They were just there
to appease you and to affirm your belief and to
push their agenda, and you continue to go back to them.
That's a you problem. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your
Extra insta YouTube and more. We're gonna wrap it up
straight ahead first, Birch Gold. There's gold in them their hills.

Speaker 22 (01:46:29):
Deep States, No Deep doo doo eyeh, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:46:41):
Big Thursday Night football game destrois. That's Detroit, the Lions
taking on the Mighty Cowboys. Now, that's gonna have a
huge number. That's gonna be a big number. It is
going to be a big number tonight because first of all,
it's the Cowboys, and whether everybody in the America wants
to admit it or not, they're a massive draw. And

(01:47:05):
Detroit's really damn good. So this will be a fun game.
But to show you, you know how fragmented the media is,
it's bigger than it's ever been, and we consume in
a much different way. There is still one thing, one
thing that brings us together at once that we will
not watch tape, that we will not watch in a rerun,

(01:47:27):
that we will not and that is sports. And if
you don't believe me, listen at these numbers from a
week ago. The Chiefs and the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day
is the most watched NFL regular season game in history.

(01:47:48):
Think about that. So the average for the game Cowboys
one thirty one twenty eight fifty seven million plus. That's
up forty seven percent versus last year's comparable game, which
was still great at thirty eight million. The previous NFL
record it beat by thirty six percent. It peaked at

(01:48:13):
sixty one million. Insay, sports is still that thing that
we will do together. My prediction tonight, I think Cowboys
get a win. I do. I think they're playing hot
and I think they get a win. At Chad Benson
