Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show, The government shut down Chad Benson Show,
Wide open, and we're gonna give you nothing but the
reality of what's going on.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
You're gonna hear it's about health care costs. It's about
health care. It's about this, It's about you know what
it is. It's about affordability. That is the thing that
we're talking about here. It's about affordability. Life is becoming
unaffordable for a lot of folks out there. Life is
becoming much tougher to get by day by day. They'll

(00:43):
say it's about Medicare and the cost and the rising
cost of health care. Yes, they make it about health care.
This is about cost in general. What can the government
do to make things a little bit easier on you.
It's about cost affordability, number one thing on people's mind.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
As the shutdown drags on, Democrats digging in on their
demand that Republicans repeal Medicaid cuts and extend healthcare subsidies
that will soon expire. Today, I asked Senate Republican leader
John Thune, why not just talk?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think we are, we have negotiated. I don't know
what there is to negotiate.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
President Trump says he won't meet with Democrats until they
first reopen the government. And at twenty one days, this
shutdown now tied for the second longest ever, the longest
ever thirty five days during President Trump's first term.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's affordability, though, and you know it's becoming the affordability
issue when they start talking about snap going away, when
they start talking about the programs that people need to
survive even though they may have other income coming in.
I always tell you guys this over and over again.
You go to a shelter where they know, they have

(01:58):
food boxes they hand out to people, You'll see the line.
You know who's in line, People in cars, people who
have jobs, people who have a place to stay. But
life is getting more and more expensive, and food prices
are continued to stay up. This is an affordability issue

(02:19):
as much as it is a healthcare issue, because we're
not talking about healthcare. We're not talking about the care
between you and your doctor, me and my doctor. We're
talking about affordability to say you have health care. And
like I said, listen to that word affordability. That is
the word of the day. Yeah, We've served our country faithfully,

(02:42):
and then now sign for the government to help us
and to serve US.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Disabled Navy veteran Walm Sorrow worries if this shutdown drags on,
he won't be able to feed his family.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
It is literally the difference between eating and not eating
on any given day.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Like forty two million other Americans, he relies on SNAP,
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
This isn't a game.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
This is real lives, which is said to run out
of money in a little over a week.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
It's affordability. It's feeding your family. It's affordability. It's the
number one thing right track wrong track. Latest polls are
out vast majority of people are saying wrong track. Even
thirty percent of Republicans don't think we're on the right track.
There are issues, there's no doubt. And this isn't about

(03:33):
let's dump on Trump or let's know. Both sides have
a massive part to play in this mess. They do.
Get your butts in there, open up the government, and
get to doing your job. This shouldn't be quote unquote controversial.

(03:54):
But both of you guys are idiots. You are what
are we battling for? Well, the costs, yeah, we get
at the cost I mean, got you so much money
we waste on all kinds of crap. Right, let's go
back just to the last administration. How much money do
we raise, you know, waste on the crazy USAID stuff
or the building of that stupid platform, Doc. You remember

(04:17):
that thing for you know, try to get food to
Gaza and that thing didn't work. We built as barge
that fell apart in five minutes. We waste money all
the time on all kinds of things. Why because we
have so much of it. Well, the average person doesn't
get a print money, and if they do, they're probably

(04:37):
going to be in trouble at some point in time.
The average person doesn't have fifty people to go to
to help them out in situations. Right track, wrong track,
Brand new poll said day guess what wrong track? Big
time sixty five percent. In the way the governments function
in the economy, dealing with other countries, and the way

(04:58):
the federal government is dealing with undocumented immigrants, illegal aliens,
you know, fluffy bunnies, whatever you want to call them.
That makes you feel good. There are issues in this
country that need to be dealt with here, and it's affordability.
It's the number one thing. So while they talk about

(05:20):
the big deals that are going on globally. We're making
big deals while they talk about all of the things
you know that are happening that it's making us great.
We're fighting this and its tariffs that we're talking about.
It's healthcare. They want to give it to illegals to say,
here's the reality of it. It's all about affordability for

(05:41):
each and every one of us. Can you afford what's
going on in your world at this moment in time?
And this is a conversation I get in, especially in
my local show, because on the local side of things,
the station I'm at, it's a great station. It's amazing,
the people are incredible. A little bit more maca and
it's ques in some cases a little bit older. So

(06:05):
what you have is a bunch of retired people sitting
around all day who aren't worried about where their next
meal is coming from, aren't worried about feeding their family
because their family's grown and out of the house. Maybe
in some cases they may have moved back in, but
they're not worried about that. And we're going to get
to what kind of voter you are a little bit
later because of fascinating on how they break down voters.

(06:27):
Something I've said for a while, but it's really interesting.
But when you hear both sides talk, it's affordability. The
Republicans are trying to say Obamacare is unaffordable, but they
don't have anything behind it to even come out and say, look,
we can't replace this. Government needs to get out of here,
but we need to figure out how we're going to
do that. And for the Democrats, it's about affordability because

(06:51):
they're hearing from people saying it's going to become on affordable.
I mean, we talked about the cars last week. You
guys remember that average car payment in the USA seven
hundred and fifty bucks, average two cars over fifty thousand dollars.
It's affordability. And by the way, if you want to
know how that's going, more and more people are late

(07:13):
on their car payments and more and more people are
having their cars repode. That's not a right track way
we're headed right now. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your X,
your Insta, YouTube and more. By the way, speaking of money,
Trump wants.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Some sources telling ABC News President Trump pressuring his own
department of Justice to pay him two hundred and thirty
million dollars as a settlement for two previous federal investigations
into him.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
Are they probably a lot of money?

Speaker 5 (07:46):
As first reported by The New York Times, those negotiations
stemming from two prosecutions Trump faced. The first twenty sixteen
investigations surrounding potential ties Trump and his campaign had to Russia,
the second over Trump's handling of classified documents, which led
to his mar Alago home being searched.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
So I just want to get this right. You want
two hundred and thirty million dollars. You're the guy running
the thing, and that means you're I'm sort of suing myself.
I don't know what hew do.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
He settle the lesser and suggesting if I get money
from ar country, I'll do something nice with it, like
give it to charity or give it to the White
House where we restore the White House.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
That compensation, though, is typically covered by taxpayers.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
How about this one. I'm gonna saw this one out there.
Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm right on
this one. Maybe stick with me. You you settle for
a dollar and the other two hundred and twenty nine million,
nine hundred and ninety nine nine ninety nine dollars stays

(08:59):
with the United States taxpayer. Let's just say that. Okay,
let's just say that happens. But if it was to
get that far, who gets to approve this? I'm also curious.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Any settlement would need sign off from one of two
top DOJ officials, one being Todd Blanche who previously served
as Trump's personal defense attorney in those very investigations, the
other Stanley Woodward Junior, who represented Trump's allies. The arrangement,
which has no parallel in history, likely to spark severe
ethics concerns. Ask for comment the Department of Justice, saying,

(09:34):
in any circumstance, all officials at the Department of Justice
follow the guidance of career ethics officials.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
No, that's what I say. No, No, I'm gonna go
with a hard no, double triple hard no. And I
don't know what you guys think, but no, I think
that should be the Is nobody in the room going, hey,
you know what, maybe this is an a good time
right now the government shut down. Maybe this isn't. Let's
hold off until everything's rosy before you roll this one out.

(10:06):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three atch Edvnson shows your extra install. Let me know
what you think. I want to hear from all of you.
I love hearing from all of you. Got our scary
movie countdown one Hit Wonder Wednesday, among other things. Speaking
of money, tonight, the Dallas Mavericks at home taking on
San Antonio kick off the new year. NBA kicked off

(10:30):
last night. The thing I find interesting, first of all,
Cooper Flag. Everybody's waiting to see what he's gonna be about.
Is this guy the the savior? It's just the next
great That's one thing. The other thing is on his
uniform tonight, he's gonna have a patch that says debut.
Now that's weird. So it says NBA debut patch. And

(10:53):
the reason is after the game, they're going to remove
the patch, authenticate it. Then they're gonna get it into
a card that will be autographed. They did this this
year in Major League Baseball. Paul Skens his patch just

(11:14):
sold for one point one million dollars. And if Cooper
Flag is all that he's supposed to be, and I
think he will be, that thing could sell for easily
a million to two million bucks, Crazy three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three Atch d Benson
shows your ex, your Insta, YouTube and more. Birch Gold

Still no news on who stole all the jewels in France.
We'll talk about that, among other things. This is the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (13:10):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Where are the jewels? The jewels are still missing? What happened?
How did it go so wrong?

Speaker 8 (13:18):
The gallery doors barred and sealed. This palace of French
history now a crime scene. Sunday's robbery was the fourth
in France in just two months, reigniting a serious debate
over security at museums. Madame Or, the Culture Minister, defending
her position in the French Parliament today, insisting there were
no security failures in the wing that sits hundreds of
yards from the Mona Lisa, But an audit report seen

(13:40):
by ABC says a stunning seventy five percent of one
wing is without CCTV surveillance.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Another sixty percent that's found. But where are the jewels?
Where are the people that heisted this? Where are they?
Why do we not know? Have you guess never seen
the first forty eight? After forty eight hours, the chances
of solving crime goes down tremendously.

Speaker 8 (14:02):
The gang who pulled off what's being called the crime
of the century is still on the run tonight, evading
capture now for almost three days since that stunning heist
at the Louver. The prosecutor's office puts the value of
their hole at about one hundred and two million dollars.
With every hour that passes, the chances grow that these
priceless jewels have left France, maybe for good.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, I don't think you're getting those things back. No, Look,
we totally had everything covered. I just want to go
over this again. So some dudes with a cherry picker
cruised up to the second floor, got into the second
floor via a balcony with the doors were open. And

(14:45):
they took a grinder that you'd buy it to home
depot for a few bucks, cut through a couple things,
smashed the glass, grabbed the jewels, left, tried to start
a fire in their little cheesy van, which didn't work,
and then they took off on scooters and they're still
at large. Okay, we have no idea where they have gone.

(15:06):
They probably did parkour and you know, once they start
doing parkour, we are screwed. We should call that guy
from that movie Taken E's around. Yeah, he's not real.
What do you mean is not real? Now here's the thing.
As we've said, look, you're not selling them as a set.
You're gonna have to cut them down because that's too hot.

(15:27):
We keep comparing it, well, I do to John Wick,
Remember John Wick? The first one. They go to his house,
they kill his dog and they beat him up, and
then they steal his preas you know, his priceless car,
and then what happens They try to go and have
it stripped down and fence it three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three. That Chad Benson Show's your extra
Insta YouTube and we're right here. The Chad Benson show, well,

(15:50):
these guys unless they have somebody who already wants these things,
who are gonna cut him down. And you're never getting
a hundred million dollars for him. You're gonna get pennies
on the dollar. They're gonna have to cut him down.
So I would say the chances of finding this are
slim to lum. We move from one heist to another.
That's not true. Well, kind of a little bit, sort

(16:12):
of Trump's building something at the White House as I
have not seen it. Is it gonna interfere with anything?
It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be
It'll be near it, but not touching it. You promise,
you promise, m you promise, because I'm thinking that's not true.

Speaker 9 (16:31):
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is now urging the
administration to pause demolition for a public review process, writing,
we are deeply concerned that the massing and height of
the proposed new construction will overwhelm the White House itself
and may also permanently disrupt the carefully balanced classical design.
The ballroom, set to be ninety thousand square feed, would

(16:53):
dwarf the main White House residence, which is fifty five
thousand square feed.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
He's going to do whatever he wants to do. It's
like we said earlier with the Diddy thing. He's gonna
do whatever it is that he wants to do and
nobody's gonna stop him. And then I get accused of saying, oh,
because you hate Trump. I don't hate Trump. First of all,
I don't love or hate any politician. That's an emotion
that I don't want to spend on somebody. So do
I like what he does in some ways? Absolutely? Do

(17:20):
I find some of the other stuff absurd?

Speaker 10 (17:22):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
And you know what's funny if you dare call it
out the purity test from one side, they freak out
and the other side celebrates. And when I look over
at the other side and saying, you guys are idiots two,
it's a win win for nobody. You're missing the show.
Grab the podcast. It is The Chad Benson.

Speaker 11 (17:35):
Show, Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 7 (18:01):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's White Woman Wednesday. Kylie tells all of us who
aren't uber progressive and beta why we're awful. You guys
better do the work I'm doing it.

Speaker 12 (18:13):
You should, Hi, I'm Kylie, And whatever you're doing if
you could please stop and watch this video. If you
don't know me, I was raised MAGA and part of
my platform is speaking out against everything MAGA stands for.
And as you probably know, leaving a cult like setting
really does come with consequences and people trying to ruin
your life, because if everybody can easily leave without social consequences,
then the cult begins to fall apart. And unfortunately, my

(18:34):
videos in my platform has been seriously under attack. People
have been reporting me, white supremacists and MAGA people have
been literally getting my posts taken down. They successfully got
my Instagram account banned for an entire month, and it's
just genuinely, I feel like I am talking to a wall.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I am shadow band.

Speaker 12 (18:49):
It is so beyond difficult to get my voice out there,
so exhausting to have to deal with these people every day,
and I would just ask for your help to please interact, followed, like,
and share so that my voice can be amplified, so
that other people who are on the verge thinking about
leaving Maga, thinking about leaving their husbands, potentially they see

(19:09):
my content and know that there is another way and
that there is a better way. They don't have to
be sucked into this hateful environment like I was raised
in and brought up in.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I have to be honest, I don't know why the
husband thing came out of there. It's because only white
cis hetero males are evil and bad. I want you
guys to recognize that. Okay, Ah, she's fun. We'll have
more from her later. This is interesting. So we've talked
about this for a while here on the Chatminson Show,
and that is people vote against their best interest for

(19:39):
several reasons. And some of it is, you know, we
have been told a narrative over and over again, so
we buy into the narrative about certain things. And I
also think common sense is also you know, jumped the
shark a long time ago when it comes to voting
in reality. But this guy here, you know, point to

(20:00):
his people. Look, you guys are voting against everything you
really believe and want because you've been sold to Bill Allies.

Speaker 13 (20:08):
Why do Americans vote against their own interests so often?
The answer is a lot more nuanced than you'd think,
and I'll address that in this video. This is a
great question, not only because it's been the most asked
question I've gotten from non Americans, but it's a conversation
I've had dozens of times over the years with friends
and colleagues. Obviously, there are a lot of reasons, and
we're just going to touch on a few. Number One,
the Heath Ledger joker voter, to quote Alfred, some people

(20:31):
just want to watch the world burn. I wanted to
address this one right away, so you don't think it's
the whole point.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Of this video.

Speaker 13 (20:37):
Yes, a very small percentage of people vote against their
own interest because it also harms people they don't like.
They are so filled with hate they do not care
about their personal outcome as long as it negatively affects
groups or people they do not like. I don't believe
this is promin it definitely under five percent of voters.
If I were to throw out a number, and I
just wanted to get this one out of the.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Waygre on that one. There are some people out there
who there's sometimes there's this experiment like let's just see
what happens. Maybe New York is part of that. Right now,
we're like, all right, let's just see what happens here. Well,
we're gonna give this Mondani guys shot. Let's just see
what happens let's see what happens when you get the
things you think you want and the price is going

(21:19):
to be free. Apparently, we'll see. Maybe it works, maybe
it doesn't.

Speaker 13 (21:23):
Number two identity over material interest. Many Americans vote based
on who they are rather than what helps them. A
working classman in rural Ohio may vote in the interest
of a millionaire because he identifies more with the cultural
values of the wealthy class individualism, patriotism, and religion, rather

(21:43):
than with his own economic circumstances.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Well, I mean, we always talking about where a checkbook
based society. I think in some cases that is true,
and I also want to remind people in some cases, well,
in many cases, you know you have a by your name,
you're a Democrat, well or an r by name you're
a Republican. Republican in California is probably a little bit
different than a Republican in the South. A Democrat in

(22:09):
the middle of the country is a little bit different
than democrat in Berkeley or Manhattan. See where we're going there, continue, sir.
Number three. Media and narrative control.

Speaker 13 (22:21):
The American media landscape is heavily consolidated. A few corporations
on most major outlets and right wing media in particular
has mastered emotional storytelling, fear, grievance, and nostalgia. When people
hear tax cuts create jobs they don't, or regulations kill
small businesses, they certainly can, and they hear it every

(22:43):
day for thirty years, they internalize it. It becomes identity,
not policy. Propaganda isn't just about lies, it's about repetition
and framing.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Now here's where I'll differ from him on this, because
everybody's got their news source now. We no longer need
to be told something seventy five times to believe it.
Because people go for affirmation over information because they have
put themselves in a situation where their belief system in
politics in particular, have also become their identity. So you

(23:16):
want affirmation. You're not interested in information, You want affirmation.
And that's what I run into all the time. People
don't want the truth unless it supports their beliefs. If
it goes against their beliefs, or maybe what they're hearing
isn't true one hundred percent, then they don't want another

(23:36):
part of it. They just give me the affirmation.

Speaker 13 (23:39):
Number four, Economic stress and cognitive load when you're every
waking hour is spent just trying to survive. There is
no time left for revolution. The bandwidth isn't there to
search for actual truth, and voting becomes emotional, habitual, tribal,
and largely symbolic.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Well, that's true, and revolution, trusts me. If everybody's broke
and nobody's got a job at all, revolution is not
hard to come by. But if day to day living
is going on and you're having to live your life
and pay your bills, probably not gonna have revolution, because
that means that you're going to have to leave your

(24:16):
job and go out and revolt. And if you do
have a revolution, it's going to be on the weekends,
and it's only gonna be for a couple hours because
my kids have soccer. Number five. The two party trap.

Speaker 13 (24:26):
Many American voters feel forced to pick the lesser of
two evils. The Democratic Party often talks populism but governs corporately,
and the Republican Party talks cultural populism but governs for
the wealthy. Either way, working class voters get a symbolic
gesture instead of systemic reform.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's true. Trump, the border and the economy were big
reasons he won, but another big reason a huge reason
that can't be ignored is the cultural battle, whether it's
you know, the kids you know at high school and
there's a boy playing a girls sport, perfect example of

(25:09):
the cultural battle that went on. And the Democrats lost
that big time because they wouldn't come to a world
of common sense. And so the Republicans continued debate them,
and they continued to come and take that bait, and
they lost. They did. And the two party trap is
very real, because let's be real, as much as we

(25:30):
talk about two parties, rigally, what they are is one
party masking is two. It's the Coke and Pepsi. They're
both soda companies and they don't want any competition. Number
six is the big one.

Speaker 13 (25:43):
The myth of meritocracy here is where I think the
majority of folks that vote against their interest in America.
From the time we are toddlers, we are anointed with
a birthright called the American dream. This ideology tells us
that if we work hard enough, we will be successful,
and that every American has the same potential financial success.
So when we see policies that distribute wealth more evenly,

(26:04):
we tend to think I might need that tax cut
someday or punishing success today is the same as punishing
my own future success. And I think this is the
best attribute of the American people attribute this very high
level of optimism.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
We are just one.

Speaker 13 (26:19):
Garage based tech startup from wealth and the comfort that
comes with it. This has been the fabric of our
country for over two hundred and fifty years. But this
aspirational mindset, combined with the shame surrounding poverty, means people
sometimes defend a system that exploits them because they're taught
that failure is personal, not structural.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Very interesting. Meritocracy is real, and America gives you more
chance than any other place on the planet. That being said,
is it tougher at times? It can be for some people.
But without meritocracy, without the things that we have that
give people these opportunities that include the fact that you

(26:58):
may sink swim, people don't want to give that opportunity up.
That's why socialism has never worked anywhere, because at the
end of the day, people still want that opportunity to
take control of their own lives and their own destiny. Three, two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 7 (28:47):
Running with Scissors sounds great compared to.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
This, say, we are counting it down to number one.
We're in the top ten and today one of the greats,
one of the absolute great movies from nineteen seventy nine,
and it is one of those movies that still holds

(29:12):
up today. And the tagline, well, the tagline's incredible because,
as you know, kids, and I do mean this in space,
no one can hear you scream. Let's get to it.

Speaker 14 (29:27):
The time has come, so prepare yourself for a journey
of fear from the darkest corner of cinema, the most
bone chilling tales ever told. It's the countdown you've been
waiting for. Which movie will take the top spot? How

(29:49):
about a fish tail so big because the jaws open wide,
or the story of a young, an innocent girl battling evil.

Speaker 15 (30:03):
With some Harry Well, then let's introduce ourselves.

Speaker 16 (30:07):
I'm Demon Karras and I'm a Gamma.

Speaker 14 (30:10):
You'll have to listen to find out.

Speaker 7 (30:13):
Are you ready?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Number eight, Oh number eight, nineteen seventy nine, I was
but a lad who were directed by Ridley Scott, starting
the amazing Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skarett, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright
and the incredible Ian Holme. I said it before we
played the little intro in space, no one can hear

(30:37):
you scream because you see Alien showed up. An Alien
changed so many things because this movie was a horror movie.
Wasn't a movie about sci fi. It was a straight
up horror movie with tension and clausterphobia. And it turns
to Gourney Weaver into a megastar in our Arguabie, the

(31:00):
first female action figure. Oh number eight Today Alien reserves.
It seems that you have intercepted the transmission of unknown origin.
Can you see this?

Speaker 17 (31:17):
I've never seen anything like it?

Speaker 18 (31:25):
God, how'll we kill it?

Speaker 2 (31:49):
So amazing? The tension was incredible, very little gore, but
the tension was everywhere. And obviously the most famous scene
of all was the chest burster scene. If you guys
don't remember that John Hurt on the table, everybody around him.

Speaker 19 (32:06):
It was awesome, Oh God, to touch it.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Just incredible burst out of his body on the table.
The scene itself was a true one off scene. When
they filmed the movie, Ridley wanted to build everything up.
He wanted everybody to be nervous on the set, to

(33:02):
be a bit disturbed at times on the set, and
he wanted certain things to be well unscripted, if you will.
This is Sigourney talking about that scene in general.

Speaker 20 (33:14):
Well, it was in the script, and when we got
down to the set, everyone was wearing ponchos, which should
have made us think something is going to happen.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's not usual.

Speaker 20 (33:28):
But I don't think anything could have prepared us, first
of all, for John's performance something. I mean, it's such
brilliant acting. I didn't realize he was acting. Then this
thing came out of John Hurt's fake chest, sat on
the table, looked around, went and ran off the table,
all in one shot. And there's a master where all

(33:50):
five of us are like and we're not acting because
we just went what just happened? You know? I mean,
it didn't look it happened so seamlessly.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
It didn't out of this, she became a massive action
star as well as a movie star. Put her on
the map in a way that you know she'd not
been on the map before, and as a person where
you're like, wow, that is a female heroine who is believable,
which was great. The movie itself again amazing the Xenomorph.

(34:23):
The design came from a Swiss surrealist hr Geiger, inspired
by his own disturbing artwork, which is you know, Necronom
four the miniature matric. So the Nostromo was built as
a detailed twelve foot model. All interior shots were filmed
on a claustrophobic single door set because they wanted everybody

(34:44):
to be nervous and feel uncomfortable when they filmed. They
wanted to give it that atmosphere, and it did. Without aliens,
you wouldn't have things like Predator, event Horizon or the Thing.
Even though the Thing came earlier. They redid the thing
later on, which incredible as well. But there's no doubt
when it comes to movies, when it comes to what

(35:06):
some people call sci fi but I call horror, there
is nothing better than the nineteen seventy nine classic Alien
as your number eight movie today on the Scary Movie
Countdown at Chad Benson Show. Is your ex, your Insta,
your YouTube, Facebook and more? If you have any suggestions,
several of you've sent them in. Some of it was

(35:26):
for this one. Actually, let us know we love hearing
from you. You reach out those three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three or at Chad Benson Show,
your ex, your Insta right here on the Chad Benson Show.
All right, coming up our number two of the program.
A lot of stuff still to get to. Interesting bill
they're trying to pass in Pennsylvania about children and you

(35:51):
know the fact that we've become helicopter parents, bulldozer parents,
and maybe that we should take the foot off the
pad a little bit because this woman she got in
serious trouble for something that every one of us went
through as a kid and ors probably done as a parent.
We're gonna talk about that. We've got your one hit

(36:12):
wonder Wednesday as well. If you're missing this show, you
know what we say, shame on you. Make sure you
grab the podcast. Our number two of the program is
straight ahead. This is the Chad Benson Check.

Speaker 7 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Government shutdown in full effect, The Chad Benson Show, Wide
Open and living life large. We're open for business this baby.
I don't care what anybody says. Right track, we're on track.
What do you think? According to the latest polls, America
is not on the right track and the government being
shut probably isn't helping, although in some weird way they're
not spending more money. But that is going to become

(37:16):
an issue in the coming days and weeks. Can they
will they come to some sort of agreement sooner rather
than later? What have we always said here? Depends on
what who gets the blame right now the Republicans. It
leans a little bit Republican for the blame, but it
doesn't trickle up to Trump. So there's that. So Trump

(37:39):
is like whatever, We're cool. But the message that the
left has isn't really resonating with the American people. And
let's not forget the fact that it isn't touching a
vast majority of the Americans yet in any way that's
making them uncomfortable. As we always say here, we're a
nation of convenience, and right now we're not being inconvenience.

(38:01):
So we don't really care as.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Much as the shutdown drags on, Democrats digging in on
their demand that Republicans were peel Medicaid cuts and extend
healthcare subsidies that will soon expire. Today, I asked Senate
Republican leader John Thune, why not just talk?

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I think we are we have negotiated. I don't know

Speaker 3 (38:21):
first reopened the government, And at twenty one days, this

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Oh, I think we're on a way to break in that.
Now it's going to start affecting people because SNAP is
going to be a part of this, And there was
already going to be effected in some ways for SNAP
because the work eligibility was coming in for a lot
of these things. So you were going to start to
see some things go down and some things be eliminated.
But this is not that. This is just across the board.

(38:54):
People are gonna be in some trouble.

Speaker 21 (38:55):
Money is running out and people will go without their
SNAP benefits as as soon as the end of this
month or the very beginning of the next month. Look,
these are real things, These are real consequences, and this
is what I wish my Democrat colleagues would realize.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Katie Britt right there, easy on the eyes. Uh, what
is it really about? Affordability? That's it across the board.
Life's not affordable right now. And because it's not affordable,
people are frustrated and angry. Everybody's looking to point the
finger at somebody because that's how you win. We're still

(39:31):
a checkbook based society. We talked a little bit about
last hour about you know, the way that people vote,
how they vote against their best interests and whatnot. And
some of that may be true, and some of that
is just you know, people vote in a certain way. Culturally,
people vote in a certain way even if they think

(39:53):
it is for their best interest. They've been told that
they believe that it may not be in their best interest.
So there's a lot that goes into how people vote.
And that's what this is all about. Affordability is the
number one thing that people care about. That's the thing
we always care about. Outside of a massive attack or

(40:15):
a one off kind of COVID thing, it's always affordability.
And by the way, after the massive attack after COVID,
what's number two always affordability. But yet this is about
illegals getting healthcare. See, that's a perfect thing if you're

(40:36):
the Republicans to go after legals getting healthcare. This is
Chris Coons on Fox arguing with I think Trey Yankster whatever,
it's actually entertaining or play a bit of.

Speaker 22 (40:47):
It today, Senator, that you've heard from your doctors and
there telling you to the rising cost We just heard
from a doctor who also happens to be in the Senate,
Bill Cassidy, who says your plan is going to drive
costs up because you want to get health benefits give
health benefits to illegal immigrants, which by the way, is
true in a lot of cases.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Now they're going to go out it here, We're going
to let it play. It's about a minute long, and
then I'm going to give you the reality of that. Okay,
So this is politics. Politics is about show. Politics is
about who's loud. Politics is rarely based in reality. It's

(41:27):
based in the reality television of politics. That is not
at all true.

Speaker 23 (41:33):
And as I know, doctor Cassidy, Senator Cassidy and I
know he knows this. It is not legal to be
enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, Medicare or Medicaid unless
you're in the United States legally. There is no path
here for giving healthcare to illegal aliens. That is not
a core part. There is the agenda of the Democratic Party.

(41:55):
Are right Trade County Senator, tell me what that path
is for.

Speaker 22 (41:59):
The path is that in in California, they have been
giving healthcare to illegal immigrants, and they've been asking us
aneral government day fund a notion of money using fundations,
and the federal government is wanting to pull No, they're
not using state money, they're using federal and statement, and
they're asking that government.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
To give more. It is against the law. It's in
the statute.

Speaker 23 (42:21):
It is against the law to enroll in the Affordable
Care Act, Medicare or Medicaid.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
They're not enrolled. You are here illegally.

Speaker 22 (42:28):
They're giving benefits, medical benefits to illegal immigrants, and they
are asking the federal government to fund a portion of
those benefits.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Okay, what was true? Both of them are full of
crap in some ways, and both of them have some
truth right in this is it illegal? Absolutely is illegal.
So if you're here illegally, and even if you're here legally,
there is a time frame of which you must go
through before you can actually get on medicare. Okay. So

(43:00):
if you're a permanent resident, you're lawful, you have to
be here at least ten years forty quarters of payroll
tax contributions. Okay. So that's even if your legal status
is fine. Well, Chad, they're giving it to No, they're not,
they're not. There is an act to go back to
this over and over again. Explain to some people who

(43:23):
argue with me, that was put in, by the way,
in nineteen eighty six. I wasn't even born then, except
for being born sixteen years earlier. God, and that act
Okay again, none of these people voted on it. Well,
maybe a few of them, that's how old are people are.
But that act itself, it's called m T law, all right.

(43:47):
So m TO law stands for Emergency Medical Treatment and
Labor Act, which means if you come across the border
and you are shot, hit by a bus or yes,
dare I say, have a baby? We can argue about
that later. It is our law that says we have

(44:11):
to treat you regardless of your status. So regardless, there
has to be treatment. Now here's the thing you're treated
for that moment. You don't get to go to a doctor.
As far as there's no checkups, there's not stuff you're
treated for. The we're going to stabilize, you're going to

(44:32):
keep you alive, and then when you're well, you're on
your way though, So there's none of that stuff. Now. California, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, right,
they've expanded their own programs, so California Medical that will
cover anybody, even groups that are undocumented. But the state
funds have state only programs. They cannot actually draw from

(44:59):
the federal MA Matching funds or if MAP. So there's
a lot that goes into this. But all you're trying
to do is paint the picture of my side's got
the right place to be and this is the way
it is, and we win because of X, Y and Z.
It's not about reality. Reality is something completely different, and

(45:23):
it's frustrating as hell for all of us out here
because you've got a government shut down and you've got
both sides that have decided to go to their corners
and paint a picture of who's the bad guy or
bad gal in this picture, in this scenario, and it's
about winning your argument, right, So you're winning your argument
not based in reality of fact, but can I sell

(45:44):
this thing to you in a better way and in
doing so we win? And by we, it's the parties.
It's never the people. How many times do we tell
you that that's the frustrating thing? Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three had been to show is
your acts, your instaff YouTube and more touched on this

(46:06):
last hour, But I want to get a little deeper
into you know, the right track track thing that we
were on and not sixty five percent of Americans and
if you and I'm combining several different gallop Norco is
it Norco, Nork norcosa city in the Inland Empire deuy
the polls, but about sixty five percent of people say

(46:27):
we're on the wrong track, and a vast majority of
independence and yes, even thirty percent of Americans who are
on the right say we're on the wrong track. When
it comes to the economy, there are a few signals
out there that you need to look at. Okay, Number one,
and this is a huge deal. Growing number of lower
income Americans are falling further and further behind and now

(46:52):
Middle America on their car payments. The data shows the
percentages of subprime borrows those with credit scores six seventy
who are at least sixty days late on their car loans,
has doubled to almost seven percent. That is the second
highest level since the early nineties. But prime borrowers are

(47:14):
staying current on their car payments, but they're seeing their
highest rate of reprocessions since the Great Recession. Yeah, and
you and I both know this, man. You will go
without for a lot of things. You can't lose that

(47:35):
car because A you don't want to take the bus
because the buzz is awful, and b you need it
for work. So you will do everything you can to
make sure that you rob every Peter and every poll
and every Mary. And if you find Puff the maggot dragon,
you may rob him too to make sure you pay

(47:55):
that car payment. So these are indicators and signs that
we all need to be paying attention to. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadbentson shows,
your ex your instat, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Speaking of healthcare,
Medicare can be a nightmare so you go and you're like, hey,
I'm happy with my Medicare plan, and all of a

(48:16):

You're like, what, yeah, gone out like bell Bottoms. Now

(48:38):
gonna do? They're gonna put you in something that is
going to benefit who mostly them higher commissions.

touch with them. Dial pound two fifty. Say keyword Medicare plan.

keyword Medicare plan. Let chapter help you At Chad Benson
Show is your extra instat YouTube and more Happy on Wednesday,
It's Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (49:49):

Speaker 2 (49:51):
That would be in no When it comes to us
hanging out with the pooterher In Buddha.

Speaker 25 (49:56):
Peshe, Well, it is remarkable that the White House said
it was going to happen and now it isn't. In
many ways, it's not that surprising because ultimately, when we
heard that the summit was going to take place, the
first question was what has changed? Why now does President
Trump think meeting with Vladimir Pussin will go differently than
it did in Alaska, which obviously ended without peace, without

(50:20):
any movement to peace, and in fact, we've only seen
Vladimir Putin escalate the war.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
And he's going to continue to do so. Talking to
Mike Lein yesterday, what he say, one hundred, two hundred
and fifty thousand people that is really being readied and
conscripted to get into the battle. Pooter's got no reason
to give this up. And once the tomahawks were off
the table, then let's continue forward.

Speaker 25 (50:43):
In the space of the time since the second summit
in Budapest was announced, we've basically seen that the Russians
have indicated they haven't changed their demands at all. Nothing
has changed, and therefore there would be no point in meeting.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
No point, no point in meeting. He's got everything he
wants right now, we're not really doing anything to move
this thing forward. Trump's relationship that he thought he could
play off of with the Pooter, he thought he could

(51:18):
get this done, and the Pooter realizes, Hey, nobody at
homes really bitching about this. I mean, you know, the
people are kind of tired of it, but they're not
making a stink to the point where I got to
change paths. So, you know, and the military really wants
us to move forward, and nobody else outside of the
Europeans are really doing anything to stop me, So what's

(51:42):
to stop me from continuing to push forward? Nothing?

Speaker 25 (51:45):
The question now being asked is was President Trump effectively
tricked by Vladimir Putin into not sending his Tomahawk missiles
to Ukraine instead agreeing to a summit that hasn't materialized,
And we're basically back at square one once again.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Pretty much about it doesn't mean it can happen, doesn't
mean it won't happen. But until Pudin either gets what
he wants or feels that things are starting to get
away from him and he's getting pushed back. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three At Chad Benson Show,
is your ex, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and morph youre missing?

(52:24):
The show? Makes you grab the podcast right here on
the Chad Benson Show. There's no reason for him to stop.
All of the cards are in his hands. Everything is
in his hands. There's no reason for an off ramp
when you're freely moving forward, So why stop? Outside of
all the death and destruction that's going on? So alas

(52:47):
here we are, let me know what you think. We
move from one conflict to another.

Speaker 10 (52:53):
Jdevans, we have a very very tough task ahead of us,
which is to disarm a moss but rebuild Gaza, to
make life better for the people in Gaza, but also
to ensure that the mass is no longer a threat
to our friends in Israel.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
I like that, absolutely, that sounds great. Do you have
more to say, sir?

Speaker 10 (53:09):
What I am is optimistic that the ceasefire is going
to hold and that we can actually build a better
future in the entire Middle East.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Do I think the seas fire will hold? It depends
if Israel wants it to hold. They would like to
see it move forward in them to get everybody out
of there. Trump, though, is running the show, and that
is not making everybody in the Cold Party happy. They're
not happy, but they have no choice, right, they have

(53:38):
no choice. This is what it is. And yes, Trump
and the Americans are running the show.

Speaker 24 (53:45):
And the last year we've had an unmatched alliance and
partnership with the United States that is changing the Middle
East and it's also changing.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
The world good. Even though I know that you would
like us to turn a blind eye, Let you do
whatever it is that you want to do. It's not
going to happen, at least not right now. We'll see
this was always going to be a long play. There's
going to be ebbs and flows, ups and downs. We
all know that. Three two, three, five, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad Benson Church are extra insta Happy Wednesday.

(54:18):
It's the Chad Benson Joe Son.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Chad Benson Joe, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
It is Wednesday. On Wednesday or Girl Kylie joins the program.
She does a couple times throughout the show some of
a great masterpiece of things that she says to the
camera to remind us how horrible we are, especially as
CIS men. If you're a white CIS dude, you were awful.

Speaker 12 (55:00):
The single greatest threat to America right now is white supremacy,
and we need to stop acting like it's black people
or brown people or immigrants. The average empire lasts two
hundred and fifty years, and let's face it, America is
an empire. A series of states and territory is controlled
under a single president or authority. Yes we have checksaboulasis,
Yes we have our other system, but the point being
America is on the verge of collapse and it's because

(55:21):
it was built on a system that was never meant
to sustain. It was built on force, labor, kidnapping, violence
to maintain the social order. If we want to improve
what we have and actually preserve the country that we have,
we need to literally completely eradicate white supremacy as an ideology.
It is so dangerous, so harmful, and that is where
so many hate crimes come from. The craziest thing is

(55:41):
even realizing how many mass shootings and other mass acts
of violence stem from white supremacy and hatred's white irritates me.
How many politicians on the right and honestly liberal politicians
are like, we need to be tough on crime. We
need be tough on crime. This is an ideology issue,
this is an education issue, and it's the result of
a system that allows white people to act however they
want without consequence. And we need to start treating whit
supremacy like the real threat that it is.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Yeah, so there in America is going to fall apart now.
She is right about one thing. Shelf life of most empires,
democracies and whatnot. Right round two hundred and fifty years,
we're on a better path. There's no doubt. But there's
a battle going on in this country. I will admit that.

(56:26):
But our founding fathers set it up in a way
that there would be battles. Did they anticipate social media?
I don't think they did. Do I think we're headed
towards the civil war? I do not, And know our
nation wasn't built on kidnapping. Oh my lord, some of
that stuff, you think, what are you teaching these kids? Crap? Crap.

(56:51):
Everybody lives in an echo chamber. I try to bring
us out of the echo chamber. I try to give
us different things to talk about, to come together with.
Here's one, What the eff are we doing with children
in America today? I say that because the way that
we parent is insane, and the risk factor that every

(57:12):
boogeyman around the corner is just waiting to snatch your
child also insane.

Speaker 26 (57:17):
Case and boy, this woman is holding a six month
old girl she found on the beach after the baby's
parents allegedly left her alone for almost an hour. Police
say the parents took a walk down the beach with
three of their children, leaving their six month old daughter
all alone in a tent. A woman who was sunbathing
nearby says she saw the baby all alone. She notified

(57:38):
hotel staff and called nine one one. By the time
deputies arrived, hotel personnel said the baby had been left
unattended during naptime from eleven ten am to twelve oh
six pm, fifty six minutes.

Speaker 6 (57:51):
This wasn't just a mistaken mom has baby, No dad
has baby, or we thought somebody else had baby. It
incidually was the parents who walked off with other children
and left the baby without any tear for that about
an hour timeframe.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Oh my god, on a busy beach, what could happen?
So they just threw the kid on the sand, just
walked away. He just walked away.

Speaker 26 (58:14):
According to the police report, the dad told cops that
the other three children had run off down the beach,
so he and his wife went after them to go
for a walk, leaving their sleeping infant in the tent unattended.
He said they lost track of time and did not
realize how long they had been gone.

Speaker 6 (58:31):
They reported us is that because it was naptime, they
didn't want to disturb their child. A six month old
cannot provide for hisself, can't care for herself, so you know,
the worst case scenario, baby could roll over and patio sefgate.

Speaker 26 (58:42):
Now the parents, Brian and Sarah Wilkes, from Houston, Texas,
have been charged with child neglect. Sarah is a successful
healthcare executive and Brian is an engineer with Shelle. Absolute
madness goes one online comment. We feel nervous about leaving
our chairs and food unattended on the beach when we
ego for a walk, let alone, a child goes another.

Speaker 6 (59:03):
Believe in a child, especially a six month old there
on the beach by itself without any way to care
for herself or any direct supervision is just completely unacceptable.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Well, first of all, what did you There was no
care for the child, So what did you think the
child was gonna have to raise itself? They walked down
the beach. If they wouldn't have come back for four days,
we have a conversation. They were gone with the other
children that they've raised that seemed to be alive. Doesn't matter.
We must panic in this nation of panickers. And I

(59:36):
bring that up because they're trying to advance a bill
in Pennsylvania because the mom has had to register on
a list because she allowed her thirteen year old to
watch a one year old? Oh, what the hell is
wrong with us?

Speaker 27 (59:52):
A mother in Pennsylvania landed herself on the state's child
abuse registry for letting her thirteen year old son watch
her one year old daughter while she went out and
did an erin The single mother says she left the
young teenager in charge while she ran a quick errand,
and now state lawmakers are coming to her defense, creating
a new bill called the Quote Reasonable Independence for Children.

(01:00:12):
It's supposed to help distinguish from abuse from children who
are under supervised.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
So we have to have a bill. No, well, it's
about free range chad, is it? Well, you know the
thirteen year old. What's wrong with the thirteen year old?
I mean, honestly, I mean, why do we have to
have laws? Whatever happened to this thirteen year old? Thirty
year old's going to walk a one year old? I mean,
how many kids, how many of you listening right now,
were like I used to babysit when I was twelve,

(01:00:39):
like other kids, not kids that were related to me.

Speaker 28 (01:00:42):
We need to expand our legal definitions about what a
loving carrying family looks like. So I'll say for myself,
you know, I grew up with a single parent. My
mother often worked two to do jobs to make sure
myself and my sister had a roof over our heads,
we had food on the table, and that meant that
she worked long hours. That meant that sometimes I had

(01:01:02):
to walk myself to school at the get pick up
my sister bringing her back to the house, and we
had to care for ourselves until my mom came back home.
I never felt neglected. I never felt like I wasn't
in a loving, caring household. But right now, in the
eyes of our Pennsylvania statue and the laws regarding childhood independence,
that could be considered neglect or abuse. And so you

(01:01:24):
have situations like the parents of the thirteen year old
where that's just her trying to be flexible to make
sure she provides for her kids, and that could be
a case of abuse according to Child Protecting Services, which
doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
According to dumbasses who usually don't even have kids themselves,
who think you left the thirteen year old. Yeah, a
thirteen year old, that is what, Well, that person could
be irresponsible, so can a thirty year old. This is
absolutely insane. Well, these people left a baby inside of
a you know, a tent on a beach. Well, they

(01:01:59):
walked around with their other kids, who somehow magically survived
their youth. They're toddler ages. This is nuts. It is
straight up nuts. And this poor woman in Pennsylvania's had
to register on a child abuse website. I used to
go get my dad's cigarettes. Well, the way you were

(01:02:22):
raised was awful. No, it was just a different time.
And I'm not saying that they're You know, there couldn't
have been better times, in better ways, in certain ways
to raise your kids. But my goodness me, we know
exactly what we're doing because we're better than everybody else.
And chat. At any given moment, your baby could be
snatched up. Chances of that happening by a stranger are

(01:02:46):
so minuscule. Your kid has probably a better chance of
being eaten by a shark or being a billionaire. Well,
they say it's one in seven hundred and fifty thousand
year that your child may be snatched up by a stranger.
You just don't get it. No, I do get it. Well,

(01:03:08):
we would never leave our child outside. That's just wrong.
Nobody else does it in the world. Really, How about
this one man. You guys saw this in Scandinavia. You
guys would lose your mind.

Speaker 29 (01:03:19):
In Scandinavia, we put our babies outside to sleep in
the prom We still do that, and then mark so
we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Are you really?

Speaker 20 (01:03:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 29 (01:03:27):
We do.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Babies are taken out.

Speaker 29 (01:03:28):
In the cold and the snow and frosty rain everything.
My two boys have been sleeping out in winter at
least their first many three, four, five years because it's
like very good for them and they get a better
immune system and get resilient to the coat that they
will have less colds.

Speaker 7 (01:03:47):
Have heard people coming.

Speaker 29 (01:03:48):
From the USA and dans are crazy. They put the
babies outside and problems and leave them there, and then
they go inside and drink coffee on the cafe.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
They go inside and go to work. I've been a
Scandinavia I will tell you. You'll be walking down the street
and you'll see it's like a parking lot in some areas.
But guess what's in there? Babies? I mean snowing outside.
Babies are sleeping there outside of houses. Babies will be
left outside and yes even in some cases overnight in

(01:04:20):
their little pram which is their baby carriage. Oh what yeah,
let's move to Japan for a second and see what
they're doing. How about this your kids too? They can
go to the store by themselves.

Speaker 30 (01:04:33):
Would you let your kids do this? In this popular
new Netflix show, you can see toddlers running errands all
by themselves, not a parent in sight. It's called old enough,
but many are saying it should be called not old enough.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Oh yeah, because my kids got at least forty seven
before they can go outside. Man, there's some parents out
there that would absolutely keep the aubilical court for as
long as they could attach to that kid, introducing the
concept to an American audience and sparking plenty of debate,
I would not do this.

Speaker 30 (01:05:05):
The show is hugely popular in Japan, and now Americans
can see it on the streaming service. This two year
old goes on a twenty three minute walk to buy
food and flowers. He sticks out a yellow flag to
alert motorists he wants to cross a busy highway.

Speaker 7 (01:05:20):
Pretty crazy.

Speaker 30 (01:05:25):
This four year old girl is scared to leave home alone,
but armed with a purse, a shopping bag, and a
brave face, she heads solo to the fish market. And
this three year old boy's dad just asked him to
fetch his jacket from home, which is a bus ride
away till he gets on and off the bus alone.

(01:05:46):
After picking up the jacket, the adorable Todd wears it
on his bus journey back to dad.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
It's about promoting confidence independence. Yes, Japan's a little bit different,
but we don't let our kids do anything more. We
don't let our kids fail. We don't let our kids
go outside, climb on a tree, fall down, hurt themselves,
pick themselves up, invent games, come up with rules, argue
with each other, overcome things. We've taken independence away from

(01:06:15):
our kids to the point of insanity at a time
where we've never been safer than ever before, which is crazy.
It is, It is absolute crazy. Let me know what

one Hit Wonder Wednesday, Chat Benson Shoe.

Speaker 7 (01:07:58):
Irreverence. I'm like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
It's that portion of the program we talk about One
Hit Wonders. We delve into the music side of the
world because it's a lot of fun. Politics can be
crazy at times, so why not have a smile every
once in a while. And that's why we do One
Hit Wonder Wednesday. This is where we examine a band,
a singer, an artiste or a group that came together
and for one moment in time, they turned their music

(01:08:28):
and shall I say, in today's world into magic and
in doing so, they had a hit. And in some
cases that hit comes and it goes and we don't
really ever talk much about it. When we hear we go, oh,
I like that. And in other cases that thing sticks
around forever. Now it's time for another edition of One
Hit Wonder Wednesday. You may not remember the name of

(01:08:59):
the band, but you definitely know the song.

Speaker 16 (01:09:13):
This Bruiser.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
This is One Hit Wonder Wednesday, all right. One Hit
Wonder Wednesday is actually in the open. What Yeh? Comes
from a Scottish rock band led by David Patten and
Billy Lyle. It was their debut single from the album
of the same name. That's the name of the album.

(01:09:35):
From the album of the same name. The band was
called pilot. On top of that, they also had Stewart
Tosh's drumming, backing vocals, and Alan Parsons of the Parsons Project.
He threw his producer hat into the ring. They didn't
really have any hits outside of this one. But this one,
even to this day, is something we hear all the

(01:09:56):
time and dare I say, oh oh it is.

Speaker 18 (01:10:13):
Oh ho ho, it's magic. You know, never believe it's that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
So it's logic, you know, never believe it's never been
away hage, never seen a day, prease been in a night.

Speaker 30 (01:10:42):
Below is the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
More lazy day.

Speaker 18 (01:10:47):
Bad music is my head.

Speaker 11 (01:10:50):
Crazy music thing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
Is the momay night.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Now for many of us who are younger and don't
remember the smash hit that it was, I'm in the
top twenty in America, went number one several other places.
We now really recognize it as the ozempic song. But
this song has been around for quite a long time.
My daughter, who's seven, loves this song and the way

(01:11:25):
that David Patten came about the song. He had the
oh oh it's magic and didn't know what to do
with it, and his wife woke up one morning on
accident and she goes, oh, I've never been awake to
see the daybreak, and he thought there's something there and
that's how the song became what it is. And they're
doing quite well thanks to the Magic Song. These guys
were kind of offshoots of the Great Basity Rollers who

(01:11:51):
had had enough early on in the band to leave
and they put together this and it's incredible and to
this day we still love hearing the Oh Oh It's
Magic song. You're one hit wonder of the day from
the great band Pilot Oh Oh Oh It's Magic. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Chad's open, America's closed, the government being shut down. All
of the stuff that is going on is about ourd affordability.
That's it, affordability. Right now, they're playing games with each other.
They're battling it back and forth. We would love to
open it. We just can't. We can't open it up.
You know what I see? I see two people standing
in front of a door which doesn't have a lock,

(01:13:57):
and you can push it or pullull it. One side
wants to push it, the other side wants to pull it.
Both need to go through the door to get something done.
And yet they stand there and look at each other
and go I'd love to go in there, but I
can't not with the way that you're acting. You want
to push the thing, Well, I'd love to go in there.
As well, but I can't either because you want to

(01:14:17):
pull the thing. So here we are. That's where we
are at this moment in time.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
As the shutdown drags on, Democrats digging in on their
demand that Republicans repeal Medicaid cuts and extend healthcare subsidies
that will soon expire. Today, I asked Senate Republican leader
John Thune, why not just talk?

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
I think we are, we have negotiated. I don't know

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
first reopen the government, and at twenty one days, this

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Oh, I think we might see something happen here where
it's going to break that at the rate they're going,
what do they do? I don't know? Or somebody just
open the door. Have you ever seen people stand in
front of the door like they tried to bolter in
the handle and it didn't work, and it didn't work,

(01:15:13):
and it didn't work. You know, it looks like so
we don't know what to do, and then you know
what happens, somebody walks by them, twist it just a
little bit tougher, and then walks to the door, and
they're like, duh, that's what you need to do, America.
We need to get them back to work.

Speaker 20 (01:15:25):
We do.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Go do your job, do a short term continuing resolution.
Battle it out over rising cost of healthcare. Subsidies, No subsidies,
Maybe subsidies. Could there be subsidies. I don't know, maybe yes,
maybe no.

Speaker 7 (01:15:43):
It's not me him or anything political. It's that the
people are in crisis.

Speaker 26 (01:15:48):
Every day they're getting these build these notifications of how
much they're going to pay?

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
Yes, and why is that? Because government got involved. We
walked you through the sea. You go back nineteen sixty five.
Government really wasn't involved in your healthcare. Prices were pretty manageable, right,
they were pretty damn manageable. Then government started to get
more involved than more regulations, than another agency, than another,

(01:16:15):
than a local agency, than a state agency, than a
county agency, than this, than that. Then all of a sudden, yeah,
here we are. So now your healthcare you're paying more,
and you're further away from your provider, from the person
that matters. Oh my god, look how far away I am?
Am I gonna do it. Why because government decided to

(01:16:36):
get involved and it is frustrating. And now we're sitting
here arguing over this and the Republicans do I understand
what they're doing. Of course, they've wanted to get rid
of the ACA Obamacare forever. Remember all those symbolic votes
and then the Obama game, okay whatever, and he would
sign it. It was never meant to be. Healthcare was
always meant to be a law. So here we are,

(01:16:57):
we're gonna see stuff start to shut down right now.
The effect on people, it's not too great. Most Americans
haven't haven't really had any thing happen to them that
they couldn't just go, eh, it'll be fine. I don't
need to do this today, or we can get it
done in a couple weeks. So until it really starts

(01:17:19):
to affect every Americans, even the ones, and the ones
are the most important, the ones who don't pay attention.
I know that sounds weird, but those people will start
to really make it more mainstream, and then the problem
will come. And then with snap going away for some
people because of work requirements, that's one thing, but having

(01:17:39):
everything go away for everybody when it comes to the
supplemental nutrition program. Snap. That is going to be a
real kick in the krundle, So be prepared for that. Kids,
be prepared for that. It's all happening. Speaking of happening,

(01:18:01):
you didn't hear this touched earlier about Graham Platner. Is
that his name. That's the guy for Maine. He wants
to be the new Democrat senator. And he's the one
with the Toltenkoff on his chest that is the skull
symbol of the SS. And he's got some Reddit stuff

(01:18:22):
that's out there that's pretty narly as well. But on
top of all of that, so you have that, then
he had the Nazi guy that dropped out yesterday that
was hoping to run the Office of Special Counsel, was
Trump nominee, but he dropped out after his Nazi text messages.
And then you had this guy who was the January
sixth guy who said, you know, and I should go

(01:18:43):
after Akiem.

Speaker 16 (01:18:43):
Jeffries one hand was arrested over the weekend on a
charge of making a terroristic threat just before Jeffries was
scheduled to deliver a speech. New York State Police said
he sent a text message saying Kim Jeffries makes a
speech in a few days in NYC.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
I cannot allow this terrorist to live. What. Oh, yeah,
he was serious. This wasn't one of those or this
was they They made it know that this guy was
he was serious about coming after this hockeyme.

Speaker 16 (01:19:11):
Jeffreyes moynihan was previously convicted of reaching the Capitol on
January sixth, then being among the first to enter the
Senate chamber rifling through papers while saying, there's got to
be something in here we can expletive use against these scumbags.
President Trump, on his first day in office, granted clemency
to Moin a hand in more than a thousand others
convicted or charged in the riot. Ten other January sixth

(01:19:33):
rioters have either been charged, sentenced, or convicted of other
crimes since being pardoned for their actions on January sixth.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Some of those are just stupid. I mean, some of
them ares. But there was one who wanted to kill
allegedly go after all the people that essentially did the
investigation on him, hunted him down for his crimes on
January sixth. This guy, though, yeah, and then what happens,
You know, you get the heat, said he said. She said,

(01:20:01):
he said, Mike, you know Johnson comes out and goes, oh,
the left is way? Where are you? Just like, guys,
everybody stand up and realize both sides suck and you
guys all say crap that you shouldn't say, and we have.
We're finding it out more and more every day. Okay,
doesn't matter what side violence? Political violence is awful and

(01:20:22):
this isn't about what about is? How about we just
say it's awful and prosecute to tell out of the
people to do it and or threaten to do it,
and we move on. Oh well, I'd like that, Jed.
I know, I know, I know you would, as would I.
By the way, I think this is an important thing
to talk about today, I really do. And that is

(01:20:43):
the robots are coming to take your jobs. See, all
of this means very little in the future when the
robots rule. But if you haven't heard, there was a
big article in The New York Times basically saying, Hey,
Amazon's lying to you guys. You're all going to be
gone sooner rather than later because the robots are coming.

Speaker 15 (01:21:01):
The New York Times, citing leaked documents, reports Amazon expects
sales to double by twenty thirty three growth that would
normally require six hundred thousand more workers, but the company
is reportedly looking to fill those jobs with robots and
automate seventy five percent of its operations in the near future.
Amazon reportedly estimates automation could help it save more than

(01:21:23):
twelve billion dollars and shave about thirty cents off each
item at ships.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Oh, come on, you don't want to get rid of papal,
do you now? In fairness, Amazon's like, Eh, you missing
some nuance, You're missing some stuff here, so just settle down.
Well what are we missing? You're missing the fact that

(01:21:49):
that was supposed to be in private when we said
those things. Of course, they're gonna get robots. We've been
telling you they're gonna get robots for everything they can.
Why wouldn't they Well, because uh, because what, No, they're
gonna get robots. Robots are coming ha ha. Just to

(01:22:10):
let you know that, sir, What do you think.

Speaker 17 (01:22:14):
If I worked in a call center, I'd be terrified.
If I have someone like a legal assistant, a paralegal.
They're not going to be needed for very long for
mundane intellectual labor. AI is just going to replace everybody exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
It is coming now. The question is how do you
pivot from that? And there are ways to do that,
but right now I think everybody is kind of staring
into the sun, not quite sure what to do. Don't worry, though,
We'll help you out here on the Chad Benson Show,
speaking of replaceable or not replaceable. The NBA kicked off
last night, but kids, ladies, and gentlemen, boys and girls,

(01:22:52):
friends have all agues. Tonight we get a glimpse potentially
into greatness, and that is Cooper Flag playing his debut
game tonight foot of MAVs at home against Webin Yama

(01:23:14):
and the San Antonio Spurs. The interesting thing about this
let me touched on a little bit in the first hour.
So all of the rookies this year have a patch
on just them have a patch on their uniform that
says it's got the NBA logo, right, so it's got

(01:23:34):
Jerry West and then it says NBA debut. After the game,
they are going to take Cooper Flag's patch, They're going
to authenticate it, then he's going to sign a card,
and then they're going to put it out there. So
Paul skeens they did the same thing major League Baseball

(01:23:55):
for Paul Skeens, and it's different because you know, everybody's
making their debut in the NBA unless you're hurt the
first game, where major League Baseball is obviously different. They
may call you up in June or whatever. So Paul Skeens,
they did the same thing for him, who's a great
pitcher from Pittsburgh, and his authentication patch and card fetched

(01:24:17):
one point one million. And I think Cooper will get more.
I do that kid is he is a freak. The
MAVs got so lucky when you think about trading away
Luca and then they get this guy who is I

(01:24:37):
think he's gonna be just and I don't think it's
gonna be one of those things where there's gonna be
this year he scores eleven points. Again, I think he
comes right out the gate and just is freaking amazing.
It dominates. It'll be interesting to watch three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, Is
your ex your Insta YouTube? And more? Speaking of basketball,

(01:24:58):
what about Cooper flag and say prize picks? All right,
we're gonna give it to you. So you guys know
every you think about prize picks, what do you do?
It's simple. You set in lineups two more players. You're
picking more or less based on their projected stats. And kids,
we got a little projected stats for you right now.
How about this, let's stick with some basketball LaMelo ball

(01:25:22):
more or less twenty three points. There's one for you.
Oh what else you got for me?

Speaker 24 (01:25:27):
Chad?

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
How about this? You can do everything? You can do
a hybrid, which is move over to say soccer. Do
you think killing and Bape today as they take on
Uventus will have more or less than a half a
goal and an assist. That's simple. Now you've chosen your
lineup if that's the one you want to go with
the MENI you places your first five dollars lineup, Guess

(01:25:49):
what happens bo you get fifty dollars immediately in lineups
into your account right there, just fusing my co chat.

Speaker 7 (01:26:28):

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending?
Signed James Dean.

Speaker 31 (01:26:46):
Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sir, what trophy?

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
Let's find out what's trending on the old interwebs on
this most exciting Wednesday, Shall we we shall? We'll start
with Yeah, Rush, Ukraine, war Dancing with the Stars. Trump
wants two hundred and thirty million dollars from the Department
of Justice. I'm not quite sure why because they investigated you. Okay,

(01:27:28):
so two hundred and thirty million. Don't worry though, He's
going to give it to charity. And you know what
my thought is, how about this, Let's just let the

saying earlier, Trump oddly enough acknowledging that he's suing himself.

Speaker 5 (01:29:28):
Trump previously filed two administrative claims seeking damages over the
Russia probe and claiming he was maliciously prosecuted in the
document's probe. The president recently hinting at those complaints.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
I'm sort of suing myself. I don't know what he do.

Speaker 7 (01:29:42):
He settled the lesser and suggesting.

Speaker 4 (01:29:45):
If I get money from arcuty, I'll do something nice
with it, like give it to charity or give it
to the White House where we restore the wet house.

Speaker 5 (01:29:53):
That compensation, though, is typically covered by taxpayers.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
Yeah, that's us. No, don't just don't just say, look,
they settled for a dollar, so you get the win,
because that's what you care about, and then go from there.
We don't. And again, how do you even come up
with this number? And who decides? Who signs off on this.

Speaker 5 (01:30:15):
One being Todd Blanche who previously served as Trump's personal
defense attorney in those very investigations, the other Stanley Woodward Junior,
who represented Trump's allies. The arrangement, which has no parallel
in history, likely to spark severe ethics concerns ask for
comment the Department of Justice, saying, in any circumstance, all
officials at the Department of Justice followed the guidance of

career ethics officials.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
I hope so we will see. Would I be surprised
if he gets some sort of settlement from himself and
the American people?

Speaker 9 (01:30:46):
I would not.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
You mis see the show sham money grab the podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
It is the Chad Benson Show, a Chadon show, The

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

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Every Wednesday we roll out our good friend Kylie here,
and if you ever find her on the Insta, I
will tell you this. Be nice. Hear me, be nice.
I may not agree with our white woman Wednesday Kylie
in a lot of things, but being nice we can
all agree, doesn't cost us anything. Okay, but she does

(01:31:43):
like to lecture us. This time, though, I found something
that was amazing. Now, normally it's sis white heteronormative assigned
it birth men who leaned to the right, who are
the ones who are the preveyor of all the ills?
But this time she went off on the liberals.

Speaker 12 (01:32:00):
What a lot of straight white people are only interested
in politics as a hobby, and where is this clearer
than when I was at the gym a couple days
ago and I was talking to this woman, She's like, yeah,
I used to be really interested in politics, and then
I realized, why am I stressing myself out like that?
It doesn't actually have a really big impact on my life,
so I don't really even need to pay attention. So
she basically admitted to having like a phase where she
was concerned about politics in like twenty twenty when she

(01:32:21):
was in college and the Black Lives Matter movements were
trending and just generally being woke was trending, and then
she gave that up because it was stressing her out
too much and she doesn't actually need to focus on
it to become a consultant. And to me, these types
of people make terrible friends because they don't truly care
about people on a deeper level. It just shows how
much of these discussions why people only want to take
part in to take the attention away, to be praised

(01:32:43):
for being politically active.

Speaker 7 (01:32:45):
Because for a straight white.

Speaker 12 (01:32:46):
Women living in Chicago, yeah, I mean, there's really not
a lot that these policies will do as suppose on
a day to day basis. For them, it's a hypothetical
discussion and a debate about morality doesn't actually have any
real world implication.

Speaker 7 (01:32:56):
Fact that she has a lot of money.

Speaker 12 (01:32:57):
Even if there are rules that make it harder for her,
she could just pay her way out of it and
find loopholes.

Speaker 7 (01:33:01):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
I can't imagine. It's about time she called bs on
the liberals. They do like a scene though. Let's be
real nice weekend right the the No Kings thing, which
was say nobody died, it was chaos and craziness and
it was just a bunch of you know people out
there and look, use your voice. It's the beauty of

(01:33:22):
the world we live in. God bless you. I may
not agree with you, but I'll protect your right to
have a differing of opinion. Some people are ass hats,
but you're going to find that. Anywhere you put a
crowd somewhere, you're going to find an idiot or two
in there. But for the most part, it was a show,
and it was a bunch of people dressed up, acting wacky,
holding up signs that were ridiculous. That's that's kind of
what that is in today's world. Today's world when people

(01:33:44):
go out and they protest they're carrying with them a
phone slash entertainment device slash reporting device that will allow
them to show the world how good they are in
the fight against tyranny or whatever it is they're fighting against.
And that's really the story of the day. Now back
to you. Good, good for you, ma'am, Kylie. You call

(01:34:09):
them out for their crap. That's what I always say
about when they knock over statues. Good good, We fixed it.
We fix it. Racism's gone now because that Confederate soldier
or general. We got rid of that statue and automatically, hey, hey, hey, hey,
people of color, Hey, black people, you feel better. Huh,
you're welcome. Okay crazy. Speaking of woke, Governor Abbott is

(01:34:30):
at it when it comes to taking on the woke
mobs at college campuses. Oh yeah, yes, doubling.

Speaker 32 (01:34:39):
Down on this promise that he made along with other
Republicans to address and remove what he and these Republicans
call wokeness within Texas colleges and Texas universities. Here's what
he's putting out on social media. Here's what he posted
on x saying, quote, Texas is targeting professors who prioritize
advancing leptist ideologies over equipping students to lead our nations.

(01:35:01):
So that comment followed the ouster of University of Texas
professor Art Markman from a leadership role over what official
is called ideological differences. He's still tenured, but it's feeling
a growing fight over academic freedom. Last week, more protesters
up to the Texas State University after a tenured history
professor there was fired again despite a court reversing his

(01:35:21):
first termination.

Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
You hear the crowds there, hear the crowds there.

Speaker 28 (01:35:25):
Woo?

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Is there wokeness on campus? I think we'd all agree
on that. Do I understand the pushback from the administration
a little bit? Can it go too far? Well, of course, welcome.
That's that's the rubber band effect, right, It's going to
snap back at some point in time. But you've, let's
be honest, right, even if you're a liberal out there,
and I've got a lot of liberals that listen to me,

(01:35:46):
they're in certain for the most part, you know, kids,
politics doesn't come up in every class. We all think
that every class they walk in it like are you Republican?
Get out of here? No, that's not true. But there
are areas inside of knowledges where if you dare bring
up an opposing idea from what they deem to be

(01:36:07):
the only right idea, which is the progressive way of things,
that yes it is, you're going to be shunned and
you're going to be attacked, not physically, although maybe in
some cases, so let's not pretend that doesn't happen. That
does happen.

Speaker 32 (01:36:24):
Tom Alter was initially dismissed after video surface to him
speaking at a revolutionary socialism conference calling for the need
for organizations to challenge the government. Conservative outlets claimed after
or Alter rather promoted government overthrow, which he denies. Now,
some professors say they are self censuring out of fear
of retribution.

Speaker 33 (01:36:44):
Many of the faculty members I've talked to are under
the impression that everything that they say should be in
theory approved by the current administration before it comes out
of their mouths, which is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
Now, interesting thing is when you hear that, you'll hear
conservative kids, young men and women who are in classes
who won't bring up something and will self, you know,
censor themselves on certain issues because they know that this
person has the potential to throw me out of class.

(01:37:23):
Bring my grade down, hold it against whatever it is.
So don't say that, well, you know, the administration of
this and the other. That may be true now, but
prior to this it wasn't. Oh yeah, all right.

Speaker 32 (01:37:35):
So at Texas, A and M professor was fired after
a lesson on gender identity went viral and the university's
president resigned. All this falls a new Texas all that
ended shared governance, governance on campuses, shift to control of
curriculums to state appoint in region supports called accountability. Critics say,
and it is political interference.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
Which is a possibility. I mean, I'm not going to
say that I want the states, you know, at this
level deciding certain things. I think that should be free,
that should be That's what colleges should be allowed to do.
But the whole thing is we should have the opportunity
to have a free expression of ideas without the fear
of retribution. And on college campuses prior to Trump taking over,

(01:38:15):
and you might be upset because the reaction. As such,
there's no doubt that the left dominated the campuses in
many ways, and because of that, the right libertarians they
kept their mouth shut. Some would argue, some would fight,
but let's not pretend that this is one of those

(01:38:36):
things where, well, you know, this never really happened. I
never really was upset with the kid if they had
an opposing idea, yeah you did.

Speaker 32 (01:38:43):
Definitely does have ripple effects, and that's why other states,
like minded, with like minded leaders like Governor Abbott are
you know, kind of watching and waiting to see how
this plays out within the state of Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:38:55):
Then they'll move forward.

Speaker 32 (01:38:55):
The Trump administration pushing similar content standards so to speak, nationwide,
tying some funding to compliance. So Texas maybe the guinea
pig here for a broader shift in how universities operate.
Faculty groups want it could chill campus speech, but state
and federal you know, lawmakers who support say it's about
ending in doctrination and bringing transparency to taxpayer funded education.

Speaker 10 (01:39:17):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
I don't I have a problem with overreach, but I
also have a problem with what came before what is
happening now, which was a lot of kids on campuses.
Not people that show up to debate, but a lot
of kids who were going to school in areas weren't
allowed to say anything and censored themselves out of fear

(01:39:41):
that they would be punished through their grades, through getting
kicked out of class, whatever it was. So how about
common sense says we should have an exchange of ideas
and that doesn't mean I hate you if I don't
agree with you, novelty, I know, maybe we'll throw that
out there and try it coming up number eight in
our Scary movie countdown. But first, relief factor. Take it.

(01:40:04):
Every single day I work out a lot more than
I used to, and I will tell you, relief factor
gets me through the day. It is for general muscle aches, pains, joints,
things like this. You know, you gotta sleep and you
wake up and you're sorey, like, why am I sword?
This is going to help you with that. You go
and you lift some weights and you do something and
you're like, oh my goodness, I can't do anything for
three or four days. Nope, this is going to help

(01:40:24):
you with that. Relief factor is incredible. So there are
four key ingredients I'll maga three fatty assets, risveratrol, cusamin
in a current. Okay, each one of these things right,
They support the body's inflammatory response and they come at
it from a different metabolic pathway. What's that mean? It
means you feel great. You could take it every single day.
It's not addictive, ideal for regular use. I am working

(01:40:46):
out more than I have it in a long time,
and I will tell you my shoulder feels so much better,
my chest and my legs that I'm doing more and
more squats and working out. It's awesome that I don't hurt,
and I used to be sore quite a lot, not anymore.
Thinking Relief Factor. Try a three week quick start for
less than a couple of coffee days, just nineteen ninety five.
You will absolutely experience the difference. It is amazing. Go

keep you moving feeling your best every day relief Factor
dot com or call one eight hundred four Relief. That's

We're gona wrap it up straight ahead, Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (01:41:35):
If you look Talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:41:43):
As we wrap up today's show, we continue on our
march towards Number one Scariest movies of all time. This
one in space. No one can hear you scream. We
go back to nineteen seventy nine, in a movie that
turned one woman into an action star and a scene
that terrified the pants off us. It might be in space, kids,

(01:42:05):
but you've got to understand something. This wasn't a sci
fi movie. No, no, no, This was pure horror and fright.
Are you ready for it? Let's get to it.

Speaker 14 (01:42:17):
The time has come, so prepare yourself for a journey
of fear from the darkest corner of cinema, the most
bone chilling tales ever told. It's the countdown you've been
waiting for. Which movie will take the top spot? How

(01:42:38):
about a fish tail so big because the jaws open wide,
or the story of a young innocent girl battling evil
with some help.

Speaker 16 (01:42:55):
Well, then let's introduce ourselves. I'm m Kars and I'm
that devil.

Speaker 2 (01:42:59):
You'll have to listen to find out. Are you ready?
Number eight? Oh, number eight, nineteen seventy nine, I was
but a lad movie was directed by Ridley Scott, starring
the amazing Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skarett, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright,

(01:43:20):
and the incredible Ian Holme. I said it before we
played the little intro in space. No one can hear
you scream because you see alien showed up. An alien
changed so many things because this movie was a horror movie.
Wasn't a movie about sci fi. It was a straight

(01:43:41):
up horror movie with tension and clausterphobia. And it turns
Sigourney Weaver into a megastar and arguably the first female
action figure. Oh number eight today alienka the reserves. It

(01:44:08):
seems you have intercepted the transmission about known origin human.
I know, can you see this?

Speaker 17 (01:44:16):
I've never seen anything like it?

Speaker 18 (01:44:26):
God said, how do we kill it?

Speaker 30 (01:44:41):
You're fuck.

Speaker 7 (01:44:48):
It's gonna be nice to work you get out of there.

Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
So amazing. The tension was incredible, very little gore, but
the tension was everywhere. And obviously the most famous scene
of all was the chest burster scene. If you guys
don't remember that, John hurt on the table, everybody around him.

(01:45:20):
It was awesome, Oh God, just incredible burst out of

(01:45:56):
his body on the table. The scene itself was a
true one off scene. When they filmed the movie, Ridley
wanted to build everything up. He wanted everybody to be

(01:46:16):
nervous on the set, to be a bit disturbed at
times on the set, and he wanted certain things to
be well unscripted, if you will. This is Sigourney talking
about that scene in general.

Speaker 20 (01:46:30):
Well, it was in the script, and when we got
down to the set, everyone was wearing ponchos, which should
have made us think something is going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
That's not usual.

Speaker 20 (01:46:43):
But I don't think anything could have prepared us, first
of all, for John's performance something. I mean, it's such
brilliant acting. I didn't realize he was acting. Then this
thing came out of John Hurts fake chest, sat on
the table, looked around, went and ran off the table,
all in one shot.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
And there's a master where all five of us are like,
and we're not acting because we just went what just happened?
You know?

Speaker 20 (01:47:11):
I mean it didn't look it happened so seamlessly.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
It didn't. Out of this, she became a massive action
star as well as a movie star. Put her on
the map in a way that you know she'd not
been on the map before, and as a person where
you're like, wow, that is a female heroine who is believable,
which was great. The movie itself again amazing, the xenomorph,

(01:47:38):
the design, came from a Swiss surrealist hr Geiger, inspired
by his own disturbing artwork, which is you know, Necronom
four the miniature matric. So the Nostromo was built as
a detailed twelve foot model. All interior shots were filmed
on a claustrophobic single door set because they wanted everybody

(01:47:59):
to be nervous and feel uncomfortable when they film. They
wanted to give it that atmosphere, and it did. Without aliens,
you wouldn't have things like Predator, Event Horizon or the Thing.
Even though the Thing came earlier. They redid the thing
later on, which is incredible as well. But there's no
doubt when it comes to movies, when it comes to

(01:48:25):
what some people call sci fi but I call horror,
there is nothing better than the nineteen seventy nine classic
Alien as your number eight movie today on the Scary
