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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Matt Gates dropping out was never really a shocker. It
was he was never getting through. I said that yesterday.
Gates take him off the table. Okay, he was sacrificial land,
whatever you're gonna call him, none of it. It didn't matter.
He was never going to get confirmed. They threw a
bunch of stuff against the wall. They threw some stuff

(00:33):
out there that they felt, let's test what I am
going to be able to get through and not through.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
We'll throw some trolling out there.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It'll be Matt Gates, and we'll see what kind of
spine the Senate has. And they they bent a little,
but they didn't break. Kind Of like what happened is
I explained yesterday. They they didn't want johnn to be
the guy who's running the Senate or the MAGA crowd.

(01:05):
They spent tons of money online. There was a big
push to get Senator Scott from Florida as the leader
in the Senate. And yet for all that noise and
all that money they spent, they didn't They didn't bend.
And the reason, as we've talked about on numerous occasions,
is because the Senate isn't Congress they're not running every

(01:26):
two years, right, Their jobs are pretty damn secure.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
They're they're the adults.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Do you remember when you were a kid and you
went from junior high to high school and you look
at your junior high in your elementary thought, look at
those little kids.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's kind of what the Senate is doing.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
They look down. Oh look at those little kids. Oh,
you guys are nice. That that's what they did. So
he it's but it was never about him. That's the
battle that's going on is between what Trump feels. Okay,
who's going to push for my nominees, who's going to
help me and who's going to stand in my way
in some cases? But also who's going to stand up

(02:08):
to me? Which for those who not keep me score.
I'm going to tell you this right now. Trump likes
people with spine. He may get pissed at them, they
may fight, but he does like people with spine. John Fetterman,
how do you react to back?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
It's dropping out?

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Holy, I didn't see that coming. Oh, I mean, like, yes,
he was the ultimate troll. And people have the opportunity
they can freak out over a thing and respond, and
if you want to do that, you don't have to.
You better pace yourself though, because it's not even Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, pace yourself, and that is so damn true.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Page yourself because who is it going to be a
wild one?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
We moved from Matt Gates within six hours they had
the replacement named.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Who is the replacement?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh, Pam Bondi and uh libs aren't going to be
thrilled by this.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
She's the former Florida Attorney general. She was on his
first impeachment defense team. She showed up at the Manhattan trial.
She's a fierce defender of Donald Trump. She's advised him
on multiple issues legally. She's also very close with Trump's
incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles. That's another element of

(03:17):
that here. Remember Susie Wiles was out of the loop
with the Gates decision. This seems to have her fingerprints
on it in lots of ways.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
The adults, the adults, Susie Wiles is that if you
don't know who that is, that's the lady that's kind
of running everything. You know. Trump's maybe the most important
person in Trump's circle. Isn't Elon musk Okay, It's not
Vivak or jd Vance it's Susie Wiles as kind of

(03:48):
the Trump whisper, and Pam Bondi will get through. And
Pam Bondy scares the MSNBC. He lives to are you
know that freak out over stuff like this, And the
reason is simple, She's actually not an idiot.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
Oh, Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in
the last segment that we should all fear because she's competent.
We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually
knows how to do this job.

Speaker 8 (04:20):
So if anyone on the.

Speaker 7 (04:21):
Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice
was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gates will screw this up
and that'll give us some time, No, Pambondy knows what
she's doing. She knows what she's doing about immigration. Remember,
Florida is one of those states that's been very aggressive
about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states
and everything else like that.

Speaker 8 (04:38):
Florida has enacted.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
All sorts of rules and laws to curtailed students and
what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications
for manipulating education money. She is a dangerous and effective pick,
and that's frankly worse than what we would have got
with Matt Gates, even with the deplorable moral background.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
That he has. Well, he does have a bit of
a checkered path. The thing is a good way to
say it, don't we all, By the way, before everybody
freaks out, you know when you hear stuff, oh it's
so and so paid this and such and such, because
we'll get to bet hegseet in a minute. I want
to remind everybody that Congress has a slush fund. This

(05:17):
paid out almost three hundred people. It's the me too
slush fund. These are victims of sexual harassment. What yeah.
I just I want you guys to to to recognize

(05:39):
that this is something that has gone on with men
of power for quite a long time. Because they can
do it and they can get away with it. They're
going to that includes anybody with anything, and these men
for years have got away with it. What do they
do hush money? Oh okay, So back to BAMBONDI very competent,

(06:05):
and so much of being an attorney general, whether it's
a state or the top cop, is the stuff that
you're doing. You're crafting to withstand the lawsuits that are
coming especially at the state level, and the challenges over immigration,

(06:26):
the uh don't say gay build things of that nature.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
They withstood them. She is more than just competent.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
She is loyal, but she's not going to be somebody
that's going to be allowed to you know, get you know,
run rough shot over by Trump who says do this
or do that. So she is she is. She's a
hell of a pick and a lot of people are like,
was this the original pick? But there's controversy. Jed Oh,
tell me about the controversy. You know, she was investigating

(06:58):
Trump's Trump University and then Trump sent twenty five thousand
dollars to a pack and then a week later she
dropped the investigation. Well, there were a lot of people investigating,
and that money didn't go to her, went to a
pack that she supports. So if that's the controversy you

(07:21):
have in today's world, you have to do a little
bit better than that. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your Twitter tweet as texted program? Meanwhile, the next one,
who's the next controversial person? Pete hegseaith, of course he is.
He didn't something happen with him.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
A woman in California claimed he cornered her in a
hotel room, took her phone, and blocked the door. She
claimed he assaulted her and she remembered saying Noah lot
heg Seth was not charged and denies the allegations.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
He does he paid her off.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
That was during the me too, and he said the
reason is he was with Fox, didn't want to lose
his job, thought it would just be easier. There were
no charges brought. I've looked at the remember the police
did a report, talked to both of them, talked to
people there, looked at video at this conference they were

(08:26):
at in Monterey, California, and handed it over to the DA.
The DA took one look and go, yeah, no, we're
not doing anything with this. So in the video they
are her and another woman are flirting with him and

(08:46):
he's flirting back. It's a bar at the hotel. They
are seen leaving arm in arm, and the people around
there said, oh, yeah, definitely, she was giving him a
lot of the googly eyes if you will, Okay, does
it mean he didn't do something? No, but it changes

(09:10):
kind of the perspective of when you're thinking Okay, well
did he hear didn't he? I don't know. I have
no idea if he did or didn't. Inside of that room,
you know, who knows the people that were there. Here's
one other thing too, there's definitely through the video they
say and the people there, the witnesses say she was

(09:31):
definitely a little bit interested and definitely very flirty by
the way her husband was at the convention as well.
Just want to throw that out three two, three, five,

out to Jack's hockey tournament wherever he's playing. But I

(10:17):
just we're out here in Nashville, and that's that's not
something we're not flying. I just told my wife, I said,
I want to do it. There's nothing about it. It's appealing.
The stress to get somewhere. This time of year is
not appealing.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
I said, we're gonna make turkey here.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
We're gonna have fun, We're gonna enjoy ourselves, we're gonna shop,
We're gonna relax I because you know, I've been traveling
all over the place over the last you know, several weeks,
and it's just I'm like, let's just relax. I just
don't want to go because it's I've always said this
about vacations. If you need a vacation to recover from

(11:00):
your vacation because it was so stressful, that's not fun.
Like that's that's not great. And especially during the holidays,
it just seems to be even more heightened. And of
course this holiday season, what with Trump winning again, sure

Speaker 10 (12:58):
Show, Chad Benson, as we do every Friday, we take
a look back to see what happened this week that
was so chaotic and crazy.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
But we do it on the radio, so there's no
pictures and it's just sound. You guys get where I'm
going with this theater of the mind.

Speaker 11 (13:23):
Kids, Joe and I went to mar A Lago to
meet personally with President elect Trump.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yourselves go fuck yourselves.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Being amazed.

Speaker 12 (13:34):
I did not expect Hitler to get so many meeting requests,
first from Joe Biden, now from Mika and Joe. It's
amazing that literal Hitler is getting all these meeting requests.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
I'm not a hundred dollars walking me my hole.

Speaker 13 (13:45):
I know.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
I'll say it in Murty's burning a hold.

happy bron It's fine, free my motor.

Speaker 14 (14:02):
Again.

Speaker 15 (14:12):
Brother, you got it wrong. You're monstrously and stupidly wrong.
So okay, all right, can I just pintish stupid?

Speaker 6 (14:20):
And it's like, answer the guy damn question.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Please, these are words.

Speaker 16 (14:23):
I never thought I'd say, five million dollars for a banana.

Speaker 17 (14:27):
It's again.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
AI can write you excellent imitative verse. It cannot write
you Shakespeare.

Speaker 18 (14:48):
I'm asking you to please give this monster life without
any chance to parole, so that he never gives the
chance to hurt anyone else over again.

Speaker 8 (14:55):
Count one malice Murder. I'll send you a life without
the possibility to parle.

Speaker 19 (15:01):
If we declare war on the cartel, these dudes are
not going to understand what the fuck is going on.

Speaker 20 (15:07):
If the options are dictatorship or civil war, we choose
civil war.

Speaker 21 (15:13):
From this became very clear that Gates wasn't going to
get confirmed.

Speaker 22 (15:31):
Gates was facing a very steep uphill climb because.

Speaker 23 (15:35):
She is the only member who is now forbidden to
use the lady's.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Room three two, three, five, four twenty three at Chad
Benson Show. It's your Twitter Instagram right here on the
Chad Benson Show. As Gates steps away, and by the way,
Gates can return to his seat in Congress, even though

(16:00):
everybody's like, well he resigned, Yet he resigned from Congress
immediately he won for the next term, which hasn't started yet,
So in theory, that's not really a theory. I think
it's in practice, everybody's kind of going, can he can'ty,
but well, he resigned from now, But the new one
doesn't start till next January. So yeah, so they're expecting

(16:22):
him to come back. So the next controversial one will
be Pete Hexith. Can he get through because there was
an incident in a hotel room that took place twenty seventeen.
There was a police report. There was a payout, but
when the police gave the report to the DA.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
The DA said, yeah, there's nothing here.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Pete says, the reason I paid her out is because
me too was in full force. I didn't want to
get caught up in it. I'd rather pay it early,
have an NDA, we all move on with our lives.
What happened there, he said. She's said, if you support
Donald Trump, you believe him. If you hate Donald Trump,
he's a rapist. That's the way that's gonna play out.

(17:07):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson's show, it's your Twitter, your Instagram and
all the other stuff right here on The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Son, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Thanks Joving.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's going to be very interesting.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
A lot of people are going to have to deal
with family members who voted in a different direction. Some
people are going to be very happy and probably a
little giddy with their win, and some people are going
to be angry and bent. As we all know that.
Being said, this is a dad who's pissed at his

(18:25):
kids because they didn't vote the way apparently he wanted
them to vote, So he's going to show them.

Speaker 24 (18:33):
Am I the ass for cutting off my sons financially
after they voted for Trump? I fifty two mail, have
two sons, Isaac twenty two mail and John twenty mail.
My wife and I have always leaned left politically, and
we've raised our kids to value equality, compassion, and critical thinking.

(18:53):
So you can imagine my shock when I found out
after this last election that both the sons voted for Trump.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay, both to your sons voted for Trump. Don't have
a problem with that. You raised your kids to be
critical thinkers, to think on their own. That's the goal,
isn't it. By the way, they're twenty two and twenty
five and you're still supporting them. I find that weird.

Speaker 24 (19:16):
So who'd you guys vote for? Expecting them to either
dodge the question or name one of the candidates aligned
with our values, Isaac shrugged and said Trump. His policies
just make the most sense right now. John chimed in, yeah,
I mean he's about protecting the economy. People like us
need someone who gets that. I stared at them, stunned

(19:39):
people like us. I asked, boy, you've never paid for
a single tank of gas, let alone rent or tuition.
What exactly do you mean by that? Isaac rolled his eyes. Dad,
I'm studying business. Trump's pro business. It's not that deep.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Oh there we go. Okay, okay, all right, all right.
By the way, I still asked this question twenty two
and twenty five, why are you supporting them? Trump would say,
don't support your damn kids? Not like that. Do you
have an organization? Are they part of that organization? You're
paying for them to go to college? I mean, we
talk about all these kinds of things. Well, Trump supports

(20:16):
his kids as kids, work for them, and they do
a lot of crap. I think they'd be fine on
their own. But I go with this. So you're left leaning.
I get that, But you wanted them to be critical thinkers,
and when they thought differently than you, you got pissed
at them.

Speaker 24 (20:32):
If you want to support Trump's policies, you should also
live by them. I said, from now on, you'll need
to cover your own tuition, rent, and living expenses. Maybe
then you'll understand the real world impact of the policies
you're endorsing. Isaac was furious, Are you serious, Dad, You're
just cutting us off because we disagree with you politically.

(20:55):
It's not about disagreement, I said firmly, it's about accountability.
You voted for someone who's against student loan forgiveness, so
take out loans. You support someone who doesn't believe in
raising the minimum wage, So get a job that pays
what it pays in. Figure it out.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Okay, where do we start with this one?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Dad? If you're going to really do this, let me
break this down for you. Student loan forgiveness Sorry, not constitutional,
just isn't. So what's next? Right? Like you could, I
could say, I support forgiving all loans, doesn't mean it's legal,
So so that's that's ridiculous. Secondly, minimum wage, How many

(21:43):
people are on minimum wage?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Not many? Well we should raise wages. Well how high
can we raise them?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Because everybody wants their wages really high, but their goods
really cheap.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
So where's the happy medium?

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Again?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Understand? In business, school, you would learn these kind of things.

Speaker 24 (22:04):
John looked hurt.

Speaker 8 (22:05):
You're being petty.

Speaker 24 (22:07):
This isn't how you change someone's mind. This isn't about
changing your mind, I replied, It's about giving you a
dose of reality. Faffo ain't just some cool hashtag you
and your little friends use. It means there are consequences
to your actions. Political choices have consequences, your adults. Now
it's time to act like it. You fa around with

(22:29):
your vote. Now it's time you found out they made
a choice. Now to learn what that choice means.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Watch them both become uber successful and have nothing to
do with d choices. Baby, And I say this again,
why are you supporting your kids? At twenty two and
twenty five three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
twenty three at Chad Benson shows your Twitter tweet at
is text to programs. Did you see MSNBC's headline about

(22:57):
the Lincoln Riley case. It is, first of all, they're
just ass hats over there, and they're for sale. Nobody
wants them. They're just they're crap MSNBC. Lincoln Riley's killer
never stood a chance. For all the political controversy surrounding
Jose are. The outcome of this trial was never in doubt.
F you, you freaking clowns. The hell jees. Somebody text

(23:24):
me overnight and asked, Hey, Chad, do you think that
this guy is going to get better treatment in our
prisons than he would in East from Venezuela? And I
said no, Actually, there's a reason that all of these,
the El Choppos of the world, an Escobar and every
there's a reason that they never want to come to
our prisons. Their prisons they run. In fact, last year

(23:47):
they had to bring the military in eleven thousand strong
to break up a prison gang in one of the
prisons that are you ready for this, several swimming pools,
a zoo, a nightclub, and women. On top of that,
they had crypto mining gear, they had machine guns that

(24:12):
over there, they run it and they live while it's
super crowded. They have access to just about anything. You
come here, you're twenty, like he's probably gonna be twenty
three hours a day in a tiny cell. Go into
the smallest room in your house and it's probably smaller
than that, And now think you're gonna have to spend

(24:34):
the rest of your life in that room outside of
maybe an hour a day, and in some cases, I
don't know what his situation is gonna be, if they're
gonna allow him on the yard or not, or if
he's gonna under protection, I don't know. But still no,
he deserves a lot worse. I'm just letting you guys
know that there's another caravan on the way here. I

(24:54):
don't know if you guys are aware of that. It's
apparently a ritual that happens yearly kind of, but.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
It was NonStop the last several years.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
I think the caravans, you know those are they're growing
in number, but they're coming fast and they're trying to
get in.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Under the wire.

Speaker 25 (25:15):
A caravan of about fifteen hundred people is heading to
the US from southern Mexico, hoping to make it into
the US before President elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
It's the latest in what has been an annual process
since twenty eighteen. Each fall, people from countries in Central
America have traveled in groups, making it more difficult for

(25:35):
Mexico's government to arrest or deport them and avoiding having
to pay traffickers to get them to the border. But
the journey has often been dangerous, as drug cartels have
threatened and abducted migrants as they make their way toward
the US.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Safety in numbers, but not as safe as you know.
Those cartels can do whatever the hell they want. They can.
And if there's young girls there, young kids they can
use for drug rules or traffic sexually, they're going to
grab him and you're not going to do anything about it.

Speaker 25 (26:04):
Policy changes by the Biden administration created a process where
migrants need to make appointments on an app for their
chance to be processed. However, people in the caravan say
they still want to be close to the border to
avoid missing their appointments. President elect Trump has pledged a
strict crackdown on migrants, looking to get rid of rules
that allow many to temporarily stay in the country. He's

(26:27):
also planning to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. Another caravan
traveling earlier this month broke up after news emerged of
Trump's win, with half of the people in the roughly
three thousand person caravan leaving in the days after the
election because.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
They knew new share fold share. In fact, it is
growing as far as the word throughout the region that
if you are coming be prepared for new rules, and
those rules are you're not getting in. And that also

(27:03):
accounts for people that are already here, because the Filipino
ambassador is telling everybody, Hey, if you're here illegally, you
need to go home now.

Speaker 26 (27:11):
Roal Miliki Browne says he was flooded with calls and
walk into the migrant center here in North Long Beach
once Filipinos heard this from their ambassador.

Speaker 27 (27:19):
Well, my advice to them is to immediately leave voluntary
because once you're deported, you can never come back to
the United States.

Speaker 26 (27:27):
Certainly blunt advice, but not entirely correct. Being caught without
authorization in the US brings a ten year ban against
returning legally.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Still, the message was clear.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
Leave now.

Speaker 26 (27:38):
Before being caught up in President elect Trump's mass deportation threats.

Speaker 8 (27:42):
My advice is for.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Them not the wait to be deported.

Speaker 28 (27:45):
There are about four million Filipinos in the US, and
our estimate is that one in four is undocumented.

Speaker 26 (27:52):
That's between two hundred and three hundred thousand Filipinos and
many have been in the US for decades.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Self deportation, what do we talk about.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
It's gonna happen, and you're already hearing about it three two, three, five, three,
twenty four to twenty three. Atch. I've been to Joe,
to Twitter, your Instagram, all the other things coming up.
We'll talk a little bit about travel, what is this
life problem and how do we solve it? And PDITI

Speaker 29 (29:31):
Deep States No Deep doo doo. Yeah, the Chat Benson Shows.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
It's the holidays season, it's travel time and guess what
you gotta watch out for lice? What? Oh? Not that
kind of lice.

Speaker 30 (29:49):
If you are one of the millions of Americans flying
this holloway season, you might want to avoid trying to
board before your assigned group. American Airlines is cracking down
online or is my expanding it's new boarding technology that
stops passengers from boarding early.

Speaker 28 (30:05):
This really might be more necessary at American than any
other airline because it's the largest airline in the US
and it has nine count of nine boarding groups. Really
ten when you consider preboarding. This is the name for
somebody who cuts in line. They're called gate lice.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Now gate lice, So I said lice, but not head lice,
because head lice, well, you know, what do you use
for head lice? I remember as a kid, you know,
I would go around in school once every five or
six years and then the parents are come in and
they'd had that little tongue depressure and everybody's looking and
is it mayonnaise? Was that the weird thing they used

(30:40):
to put on your head or they shave your head?
Oh my god, I'm bald now. But it doesn't matter
because I do that on purpose.

Speaker 28 (30:46):
When a gate agent scans your boarding pass, this audible
alert goes off and that passenger is essentially sent back
to the penalty box ask to rejoin the line.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
It's a pretty simple piece of tech.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
This is on the gate and smart thog.

Speaker 28 (31:01):
And American has been trying this out at a few
different places, some smaller airports like Albuquerque and Tucson, and
it says they'll be rolling this out at pretty critical
the timing here because American's expecting about eight point three
million passengers over the Thanksgiving rush seventy seven thousand flights.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
You could always just shoot one in the leg. It's
kind of a warning to all the others. Then the
herd Jerry, you got it, boss. I don't think they
should do that. Now they won't. I'm just saying, but
it is annoying, and I don't I don't get it.
Hurry quick, go stand in line. Okay, let me ask

(31:38):
you this. If I get in the plane or well,
you know, you get to get in there, and then
you could put your bag up there.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I've never you know whatever.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
I mean. It's we're all going the same place, right
like you guys aren't getting on a plane. And then
all of a sudden I find out that even though
I'm here in line, that somehow you got to the
other place earlier than I did, even though we're on
the same plane. Yes, okay, I just want to make sure.
Causing a lot of people traveling. I am not one

(32:07):
of those, but I will be eating signs. Inflation continues
to cool. As you gather around the table this Thanksgiving.
Your eyes may be bigger than your stomach, but the
price tag of this year's feast has gone down compared
to last year. The American Farm Bureau Federation's annual survey
shows turkey and all the trimmings for ten people will
cost fifty eight dollars and eight cents. That's down five

(32:30):
percent from last year and the second straight year of
price drops, but the cost for a Thanksgiving dinner is
still higher than it was pre pandemic.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Gobble, frickin' gobble. Still too damn high.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
But you know what, I'll pay those prices because my
Turkey Day will be better than this ass hats Turkey Day.

Speaker 31 (32:48):
The video that shocked the world did he violently assaulting
then girlfriend Cassie in twenty sixteen also became evidence of
the danger the rap mogul posed to women if released
on bail. According to prosecutors, the government alleges Cassie was
being sex trafficked, but in a new court filing Thursday,
Sean Combs's defense attorney say prosecutors invented that narrative using

(33:13):
an edited, manipulated version of that video, arguing it shows
nothing more than a domestic dispute.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
That's all. It was nothing. It is an edited video,
nothing more. You should let him out. He's gonna have
a horrible Thanksgiving Otherwise.

Speaker 32 (33:28):
Combs has repeatedly tried for bail, but has been denied
by judges concerned he'll tamper with witnesses. His lawyers have
promised around the clock security monitoring and that Combs will
virtually have no contact with the outside world.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
But it hasn't been good enough. No, and it won't
be because it's not about Combs. He's getting other people
to do his business, and that includes other stars out
there that you know. He has other videos. He's got
thumb drives, He's got stuff hidden on clouds that you
don't know about. He's got all of that stuff. Go
pay everybody off that you possibly can get everybody to

(34:05):
drop every piece of of of lawsuit you possibly and
it's not gonna happen. The safeties and numbers, there's too many.
It's too much. It's too much. You're done, dude, You're done.
And the question is will he be with us next?
Thankiving are you seeing? I'm not suggesting anything, but when

(34:26):
you do horrible things, especially to women and children in prison,
they don't look at that kindly. I have seen a
lot of movies and I understand these things. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson's
Show through Twitter, Instagram. We are going to talk a
little bit about speaking prison jail he didn't go to

(34:48):
but Jesse Smoule, the case has been dropped. Why was
the case dropped? Talk a bit about that. We might
talk a bit about the kayaker that went missing, that's
not missing and everybody looked for him for a month,
found out he had a new girlfriend, because that story
is just continuing to be interesting. Plus next hour, we're

(35:10):
also going to talk about advertising because Jeguar, what the
f are you doing?

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Bud Light's like, don't do it, don't do it?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Oh my god. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Sure, Twitter,
your Instagram, all the other things as well as the YouTube,
go like and subscribe there on the Chad Benson Show
coming up. A lot of stuff, like I said to
get to but a reminderybody, this is our last show
before Thanksgiving, and if you're new to the program, you're

(35:50):
going to want to tune in definitely for the third hour.
But what we do at the end of the show
is something that we've done for a long time, and
I get so many requests for it and yes it
will be back this show. And we were going to
do a countdown of the greatest yacht Rock. We are
going to do that after Thanksgiving because I wanted more time.
Plus with all the chaos in the world right now

(36:11):
with politics, oh my lord, it's just never freaking ending.
If you're missing the show, shame on you. Wrap the podcast.
It is the Chad Benson chap This is.

Speaker 33 (36:22):
The Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
It's holiday season. You going home?

Speaker 34 (36:55):
Hi, Listen, if someone voted against your humanity, going to
go home and see them over Thanksgiving? You're not going
to see them on Christmas just because. Listen to me,
just because someone is genetically related to you does not
mean they automatically get your time, attention, respect, and to
be more specific, being genetically related to someone does not

(37:18):
mean that they get your sacrifice of your respect for yourself.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Is this because of Trump? I feel like this is
because of Trump. Thanksgiving is going to be awkward? Is
that uncle's going to wear his mega hat?

Speaker 13 (37:34):
Not going home for Thanksgiving this year? I'm thirty one
and it's my first time standing up to my family
like this. I'm not doing this to punish them or
to be petty, but I did let them know that
it just makes me too angry and upset to be
around them right now. I debated going to Thanksgiving and
making a huge scene and having a blowout over politics,
but in the end, I actually don't think that that's

(37:54):
going to be effective. I genuinely feel that letting them
know that this is really personal to me and it
does to me, and that this is something that will
keep me from family holidays is actually kind of a
way to get through to like conservative boomer families more
so than anything else.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
So not showing up for your family's Thanksgiving? And what's
the end goal here? Out of curiosity for me and
for everybody else? Is the end goal to say, Mom
and Dad, look, I disagree with you, this is why
these things were important. And Mom and Dad like, I know,

(38:30):
but we have different views here. But we love you
and we hope you love us, and we raise you
to be an independent minded woman and thinker, and you
chose to go in that direction and God bless you
for that. Or is the goal to say I'm not
going to show up and I'm not going to show
up until you vote the way I want not based
on your beliefs, not based in reality.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I'm going to.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Hold you hostage for your vote with my absence, and
you're missing my love.

Speaker 13 (39:00):
And Michael really isn't to change their mind because they've
been pretty deeply entrenched in their value set for many,
many years, and it's the one they indoctrinated me into.
But with Thanksgiving coming on the heels of such an
atrocious election, I just thought I would share that I'm
doing something differently this year, and that it's sad but
it feels right.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I bet the cat's pissed. You're staying home. God, we
had plans. We were going to throw a big party,
big cat party. Oh, very nice jet. How do you
know she has a cat. I'm just going out on
limb and saying she does. Somebody who doesn't have a
cat but may have a new job, Pam Bondy.

Speaker 35 (39:36):
She's the former attorney general for the state of Florida,
somebody at Trump's known for a long time, in fact,
has been really a part of his legal circle, inner
circle for.

Speaker 8 (39:45):
A long time.

Speaker 35 (39:45):
In fact, if you go back to that first impeachment
trial on the Senate floor, you may remember Pam Bondy
was part of Trump's defense team. So somebody that he's known, well,
somebody who is an all in Trump.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Loyalist and Trump loyalist can't be more all in than her.
Is she really that way? I mean, yes, she is
definitely loyal who It's funny they're like, you know this
person believes the same thing we do. Well, that you're
a loyalist, then what who are you supposed to pick

(40:24):
out of curiosity? Hey, Steve, yeah, yeah, it's up, Jerry, Uh,
I need somebody from this position. If you could pick
somebody who hates me, right, fantastic?

Speaker 24 (40:36):
Right?

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Sure, they go against everything I believe you got it?
What the hell do you think that, Merrick Garland, You're
supposed to be loyal chad to the Constitution. Okay, I
just this this insanity. Oh if you know Trump's picking
people he likes, that he trusts and knows, are you serious?

(40:58):
I was unaware that you could do that. I thought
you had to pick the opposite people who hate you
and you've never met. She does scare the libs.

Speaker 7 (41:07):
Pambondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment,
that we should all fear because she's competent. We may
not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how
to do this job. So if anyone on the Democratic
side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking, well,
maybe Matt Gates will screw this up and that'll give
us some time. No, Pambondy knows what she's doing. She
knows what she's doing about immigration. Remember, Florida is one

(41:28):
of those states that's been very aggressive about migrants and
deportation and moving people to different states and everything else
like that. Florida has enacted all sorts of rules and
laws to curtail students and what they can do on
campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money. She
is a dangerous and effective pick.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Manipulating a manipulating education money. She's good at making sure
that whatever the governor. Then I wonder if they've met.
Was she a loyalist to him?

Speaker 21 (42:02):
She was?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Oh, whoever it was, I don't even know. She's a
loyalist to people who are loyal to her. I guess
should be disloyal. But what she's really good at is
making sure that she carries out the things that she's
supposed to carry out, and being the top cop of
the state of Florida at the time, and then included
court challenges things of that nature that when the federal

(42:26):
government comes in and says, we're challenging you. You guys
put this law in or you did this and we're
challenging that, and they put stuff in place that you
know what one oh yes, found to be constitutional. Oh geez,
just just the whole thought of like, well, she's a loyalist.

(42:47):
I mean, Matt Gates was never going to to get
the gig and that was never the point we talked
about this. You know, I'll remind you guys again, this
was some people are saying, you know, this was his
original pick and that the Matt Gates was a bob
and weave. It was a core. It was a test
of does these guys and gals in the Senate are

(43:12):
are are are they going to be pushing back against me?
Are there the guardrail or what is it that they're
going to do? And so it was a test and
they said, yeah, you know what, You're gonna have some
recess appointments, There's no doubt about that. But some of
these bigger ones you're gonna have to come through us.

(43:34):
And Matt Gates was never going to be it. Everybody
understood that it was never going to be it. And
it's good that he wasn't. He wasn't. He's not an idiot.
But no, it's the best way to describe it. But no,
was he unqualified? Of course he was. Of course he was,

(43:59):
and he had issues. Let's not forget he had issues
that are still out there because he can come back
as a congress person and people like, well, he resigned,
He resigned from this session of Congress. The next one
doesn't begin until early next year. He already won his
election for that, so he hasn't even started then. He

(44:21):
hasn't resigned from that because it hasn't started. But if
he does go back, what happens, Well, if he does
go back, then chances are all the information that's there
is going to come out again. Because if you think
that the investigation is going to stop but that they're
not going to roll out that report, you would be

(44:46):
fooling yourself.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
So who knows what's going.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
To happen with him in you know, in that sense,
and he doesn't have to go back to Congress, he could,
in theory, have he got a deal done where if
Marco ends up being the Secretary of State, which is
more than likely going to happen that he takes over
for that, that is a possibility as well. Then we

(45:12):
move on to Pete Hegseth. Oh, yes, what will happen
with him? Because there's that thing, you know.

Speaker 36 (45:21):
Hegseth told police what happened in the hotel that night
was consensual, but according to a police report, the case
was forwarded to the local district attorney for review and
possible prosecution. Hegseth was never charged with the crime. His
attorney says he later paid a settlement to the woman
to keep her from going public with the allegations because

(45:41):
he feared it would hurt his career as a television anchor.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Well, because at the time twenty seventeen, me too was
in full effect, and so understandable why he paid off,
because that's what a lot of people did. And I'm
not saying he didn't do something. May have done something,
but it's he said she said at that point in time,
So did he did he not? Well, it's just not

(46:12):
a good look. No, it's not. By the way, Congress
has a slush fund with eighteen point two million dollars
in it for me too. Settlements two hundred and ninety
seven of them quietly paid out to members of Congress
and people in and around the political world, just to
put that out there for you. Three two, three, five,

(46:32):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson show
sure Twitter. Meanwhile, over there in the old Ukraine, thanks
for heating up and uh the pooter is signaling hey,
I might want to talk. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 37 (46:55):
It's clearly a response to the use for the first
time of American long run missiles into Russia's Bran's concursed
regions earlier this week. It's an attempt, really ahead of
negotiations that people think could start once President Electromp takes office,
to try and start laying the ground and trying to
basically intimidate the incoming administration into perhaps forcing Ukraine to

(47:17):
end the war, even at considerable cost to Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
That they're not. Trump's not intimidated by any of this stuff,
are you, Well, no, because I don't live there, exactly.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
It's not it's not you know, this isn't.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Putin has to show strength because when you put yourself
in a position that he is in, there are people
behind you who would love to be in your position.
So any sign of weakness is not good for the
long term health of you. I will tell you I

(47:58):
do not think six months from now this thing will
be going on. I think they will have come to
an uneasy truce, sign the PaperWorks, and what we'll find
is there will be no NATO, no missiles in Ukraine,
but they will have our protection.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
If Russia invades again.

Speaker 2 (48:18):

Speaker 3 (50:56):
His conviction was thrown out.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
And the reason they said, look, they had already had
a deal with the Cook County prosecutors and dismissed the
case against him. He shouldn't have been charged a second
time for a case it was already dismissed against him, which,
by the way, doesn't I think bode well for the
Trump folk out there in New York who were like, well,

(51:19):
didn't they already not bring this case? And then you
guys brought it again. H Head on over to Yahoo.
Number one trending thing in Yahooooo, alex Obaschkin, Pam Bondi,
Juicy Smooth, A Taylor Swift, Sarah McBride, it's the congressperson

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Are you being serious that? That's what you guys went with?

You guys are mad.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
They are.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Well there for sale. That's the best way to describe
MSNBC for sale fire price. I saw that Rachel Maddow
took a pay cut.

Speaker 22 (53:15):
She did.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
She took a five million dollar pay cut.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
It's nice when you can think a five million dollar
pay cut in your lifestyle doesn't change that much. She's
still can afford all the super rus she wants. Jet
that's not for you.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
I didn't even know she drives super hus is New York.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Do you really drive a car in New York? How
many people do that? Being said, who's going to buy
that dumpster fire? Who who's buying that dumpster fire? And no,
buddy nobody wants that dumpster fire. You would buy it
because I like the Golf Channel, because I think the
Golf Channel USA a few other ones are for sale.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
What the hell is that? That's Jaguars new commercial and
if you've not seen it, Jaguar has tried to jump
the shark but fell right into the shark's mouth. It
is one of those commercials that you would think it's
a perfume commercial, androgynous people, lots of a them's in

(55:20):
pink and purple and yellow, and there's no car in it.
I forget that.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
It's their rebranding, no copy or whatever their BS is.
The hell are you doing? Honestly, what are you thinking?

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Read the room?

Speaker 3 (55:46):
This is why Bond drives an Aston Martin.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Because of that, I posted on socials so you have
a chance to go cho I don't even know what
to say.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
It's this weird.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
It's almost like anybody who works at these ad agencies
has never met a human.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
Outside of their little sphere. It boggles.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
My mind that you have this brand that is so big.
I get the weird stuff with the perfumes, you know,
I get that.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
You know, Johnny Depp playing a guitar in front of
a scorpion as that it's filmed in Sepia. But this
is a Jaguar. This is a Jaguar. It's not a cat,
it's a car. And you went with that. You're not

(56:53):
even making cars, for God's sakes right now.

Speaker 27 (56:56):
The rebrand is part of an effort by the automaker
treeposition itself as an ultra luxury EV brand, but in
the new ad there are no cars inside. Tesla's CEO,
Elon Musk, responded to Jaguars post, asking do you sell cars.
The use of androgynist models instead of cars has led
to criticism and conservative users on x who compared the
company to bud Light and the beer brands tie in

(57:18):
with transgender influencer Dylan mulvaney, Jaguar sales have been on
the decline in the US. The British car brand temporarily
stopped selling its cars in the UK this year and
stop production of all their existing car models.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
The Jaguar says it plans.

Speaker 27 (57:32):
To develop a new slate of all electric cars, but
has no exact timeline on when those will hit the market,
with reports that it will still be at least two
years before new cars reach customers now.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
In nineteen ninety a movie came out with Dudley Moore
and Paul Reiser. It's a great movie. It's called Crazy
People Advertisers. Dudley Moore has a breakdown. He goes to
a place. I swear he's gonna spend a few weeks
there recouping because he's had a nervous breakdown. It's a

(58:06):
funny farm, is what I'm trying to say people, But
on accident, he's still working on stuff. The people there
that are how should I say this, mentally and well
crazy because it's a comedy, it's called Crazy People. They
get a hold of his mockups and they do their
own and he accidentally sends them off and one of

(58:29):
them is an ad for Jaguar. Jaguars sleek and smart,
for men who'd like jobs.

Speaker 8 (58:38):
Some beautiful women they hardly know. That's what all of
these ads really mean. Men buy these cars because.

Speaker 17 (58:46):
Of it, So why don't we just come out and say, hey,
we know what you want.

Speaker 34 (58:49):
Here it is?

Speaker 1 (58:50):
This is for that.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
That's true. You gotta see the movie. It's hilarious because
it's why people buy nice cars and things. It's to
be noticed. And you just rolled out Draguar and if
you go look at the memes, the stuff I can't
say is hilarious as well.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Did you just say Draguar like drag?

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Que? I did? I did? I said Draguar? There. This
is Volvo's new commercial. It's three and a half minutes long.
So Jack's new commercial is a bunch of androgynists, drag
type like queens wearing ballet outfits in the middle of
the deserts with nobody saying a word. Some people's soul

(59:38):
has of Sledgeham. I don't know Volvo's new commercial.

Speaker 29 (59:44):
I love Hey how you how you do it?

Speaker 33 (59:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 40 (59:48):
Yeah, we're good? Wrong, no, no, no no, but we've
uh actually got something to tell you. Kate's you're going.

Speaker 8 (01:00:05):
To be a grandma.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
You're going to be a grandma. You see the car
and it goes through this whole thing with this guy
and he's talking to his mom about the fact that
his girlfriend is pregnant and he's probably gonna marry her,
and how excited he is, but how terrified he is.
And you see this car take off and it's driving,
and you see Kate leave the house and she's walking

(01:00:30):
and she goes and she gets food and she's walking
across the sidewalk, you know, and goes into the crosswalk
and into the crosswalk she's got food, and you realize
she's not driving the car, somebody else's and it's a
Volvo and the lady's not paying attention, and the car
stops and you think, what happened? Right, because she's freaking out,

(01:00:50):
the lady and the whole nine yards. And then it
goes to Kate giving birth to their child, because you see,
Volvo is about family, but it's got all these new
safety features because it's about safety. They know their audience

(01:01:12):
three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four twenty three
at Chad Benson's show, it's your Twitter tweet out his
text the program somebody who will not be home for
Thanksgiving And I can't not talk about this because it's fascinating.
It's the story of this kayaker bringing in Wisconsin, whose

(01:01:33):
life was apparently so miserable at home but so exciting
on the internet because he has a new girlfriend. Don't
tell his wife and his three kids that that he
faked his own death, Flip the kayak over, and just

(01:01:55):
the whole thing is just bizarre.

Speaker 41 (01:01:58):
Sheriff Mark podolea new as We know that he's alive,
but the bad news is we do not know where
Ryan exactly is Ryan Borgwart and he has not yet
decided to return. Hold the deputies in daily contact, saying
Borgwart somewhere in eastern Europe.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
So faked his own death, flipped the kayak over, hop
got to Madison, took a bus to Detroit, went over
into Canada, then went to eastern Europe. They're not quite
sure where he's at. But he is alive because he
sent a video.

Speaker 42 (01:02:33):
Good evening. It's Ryan Borgwart. Stay hello man. Today is
November eleventh. It's approximately ten am by you guys. I'm
in my apartment. I am see see here, No problem.

(01:02:55):
Hope this works.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
Yeah, I don't think it's going to work the way
you think it is. And now they're pissed at you
because you waste all their time.

Speaker 8 (01:03:04):
The information that the Greenland County has at this point.

Speaker 41 (01:03:09):
Leads us to an obstructing charge.

Speaker 8 (01:03:14):
What he did on the lake staging his death.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Yeah, I don't think he's coming home for the holidays.
How miserable would Jeff to be? You couldn't just look
at it and go, I don't want to be doing
this anymore. I found somebody else. They're in news, beckistdat whatever.

(01:04:35):
Board Capital. We're gonna talk about crypto Chad Benson.

Speaker 33 (01:04:39):
Joe, Welcome to chat Chet.

Speaker 29 (01:04:48):
No, not the country, the institution. The chat Benson Show
is that time of the.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
Week we talk really cool stuff. You know what. Zach Abrahm,
chief investment Officer, friend of the show, sponsor the show.
On the show, cryptos out of control and for whatever reason,
Trump's a crypto bro.

Speaker 8 (01:05:06):
He is he is, he is a crypto bro. And
I've been asked a lot about this.

Speaker 43 (01:05:11):
I think it's just reflective of you know, I was
just watching an interview actually on Javier Malay, right of
Argentina and brilliant guy by the way, I think he's
doing great stuff down there. And you know what's funny,
I'm not a huge fan of crypto. I think it's
got incredible I think it's got fascinating technology that I

(01:05:34):
think is going.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
To I think the technology is more important than the
actual crypto currency. I think in a lot of ways.

Speaker 8 (01:05:41):
Yeah, I think so. And the reason I will say
it is and this is going to take off.

Speaker 43 (01:05:46):
Some people just because you've got hardcore crypto people. But
for those people that study and observe financial markets, you
look at the crypto market, it has all the hallmarks
of a just a classic financial bubble, you know. You
look at micro strategy stuff, you know, you know the
one I'm talking about.

Speaker 8 (01:06:01):
Micro strategy with Michael Sailor's a CEO.

Speaker 43 (01:06:05):
I don't think so that stock is going up for
x the price of bitcoin, but it's going up because
they own bitcoin. Their business is fairly inconsequential, right, So
what he's doing is he is levering up his balance
sheet with convertible debt. Okay, that's gonna get converted into

(01:06:26):
equity at some point, right, because it's convertible, So that
means all the shareholders are just sitting there waiting for
this delujah paper to come and dilute their shares down
to a fraction of what they're currently worth. And he's
using all that money to load up with bitcoin, right, Like,
so here's the crazy thing.

Speaker 8 (01:06:43):
And this is always one of the hallmarks of bubbles.

Speaker 43 (01:06:46):
You know, for a fact, at some point the bill
on that debt comes due at a time when bitcoin
is down. Yeah, right, absolutely, So, now you've got this
asset on the balance sheet. And here's the tricky thing
about you levering up to buy an asset. When the
asset drops in price, the liability of the corresponding debt

(01:07:07):
does not, right, So at some point you've got a
mismatch on your balance sheet, Okay, And that's just that's
a matter of time, right, That's a matter of time.
And what's crazy is people are bidding this up because
it owns bitcoin, and the performance of the underlying stock
is up four x that of bitcoin.

Speaker 8 (01:07:29):
It's just a dream machine. It's just complete nonsense.

Speaker 43 (01:07:32):
Like you look at the shareholders a master and you're like,
if you're that excited about bitcoin, just go buy the
bitcoin by yourself and don't get diluted down to nothing.
When all of those convertible shares convert.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Yeah, I just I you know what, I think bitcoin,
like a lot of the crypto stuff. I think it
scares people. And you know what, one thing, and you
probably know this, dude, because I deal with a lot
of people who are in crypto, and you know, people
are friends of mine. There is a certain sense of
arrogance and like, you know, it's not a very welcome me.
If you're not part of the group, you're not part

(01:08:04):
of the group. And I think a lot of people
they want to own some of it, but they always
feel like I'm not cool enough for the club.

Speaker 8 (01:08:10):
Yeah or yeah, I get that all the time.

Speaker 43 (01:08:12):
They're like, you just don't understand it, and I'm like, bro,
let me tell you something. I was sitting in my
office the day that it launched in two thousand and nine.
I can tell you exactly where I was. I was
there watching the first transaction. A dude bought a pizza
for sixty bitcoin. Okay, Like, I was right there and
I was fascinated by it at the time and I
still am. I think it's an incredible I think what

(01:08:34):
they created is amazing. I love the potential of it.
I love what it can potentially do. I love the
ethos behind it, right, having a durable store of value
that some government or some unelected bureaucrat can't dilute down
to nothing because they can't discipline themselves to stick to
a budget.

Speaker 8 (01:08:51):
Right. I love that idea. Here's the problem.

Speaker 43 (01:08:54):
That defunct financial instrument called the US dollar has a
couple things going for it that bitcoin doesn't. A the
largest military in the history of humankind, right, be the
largest taxable economic base in humankind. See the largest natural
resource base in humankind. Okay, as you can talk about
the dollar not being worth anything compared to your code

(01:09:17):
that you keep an electric electronic wallet on the internet.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
But you know, and that's the other part of the story.

Speaker 43 (01:09:24):
It doesn't even make sense if you hear people, oh, yeah,
the dollar is going to go sideways. Bitcoin is going
to become the nash or the currency of the world. Right,
That's literally not possible. And the reason it's not possible
is because what bitcoin is good at, meaning you cannot
have a deflationary asset be the cornerstone of a fractional

(01:09:45):
reserve banking system. You can't do it. It'll blow up
in a very short period of time. Why, imagine for
those of you at home, imagine if you took out
a mortgage denominated in bitcoin on your house. Let's see,
a bought a house back in two thousand thirteen for
five hundred grand. Back in twenty thirteen, five hundred grand
got you eight thousand square foot five acres in a

(01:10:06):
pool out back, right, compared to what it gets you now. Right,
So you take out the five hundred thousand dollars worth
of mortgage payments. Now your house is doubled. So you're
sitting there thinking, I've done really good. Right, here's the problem.
Bitcoin is up twenty or thirty x since then. Okay,
so your house is doubled in price, but the amount

(01:10:27):
you owe it because you don't get paid in bitcoin.

Speaker 8 (01:10:29):
You get paid in dollars. Right, that's your wage.

Speaker 43 (01:10:31):
Right, The value of your dollar hasn't gone up twenty
or thirty times since you did it. Now all the sudden, yeah, now,
all of a sudden, the five hundred thousand dollars worth
of bitcoin you loaned is worth fifteen million.

Speaker 8 (01:10:42):
And you got a problem.

Speaker 43 (01:10:44):
Right, So you look at people and you're like, listen,
I understand what you're saying. The problem is, and here's
here's why I think crypto is doing so well. Crypto
is the perfect financial code hanger, right, meaning whatever we
want to put on it, however we want to dress
it up, whatever we wanted to make whether it's we
are disgusted by the level of government spending, whether it's

(01:11:06):
because we think the dollar is going to collapse, whether
we just think it's really.

Speaker 8 (01:11:09):
Cool and it's gone up a lot and we want
to own it.

Speaker 43 (01:11:11):
Bottom line is you can kind of extrapolate whatever value
you want onto this thing. It's like a pet rock almost, yeah, right,
name it whatever you want, put it on a leash,
do whatever you want, right, use your imagination. And like
I'll just tell you now, at that being said, I
was telling people to stay away from bitcoin when it
was fifteen hundred bucks. So you know, now it's ninety
three so ninety three grand. So but you know, I'll

(01:11:33):
just tell you how these things end, and it's going
to end with virtually nothing. And you're gonna hear the
people like Mike Sailor on the you know, on on
YouTube telling you how it's going to thirteen million and
nine million.

Speaker 8 (01:11:44):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 43 (01:11:45):
You know what, you know Bernie Madoff said his fund
was going to one hundred, you know, to a trillion.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
Two Zach gave Ram chief mestment officer. Tell everybody to
get a hold of get that second opinion as they
get ready for twenty twenty five.

Speaker 43 (01:11:55):
Yeah, the easiest way to get ald of us is
go to Bordcapitalmanagement dot com or just Google.

Speaker 8 (01:12:01):
Know your Risks radio podcast.

Speaker 43 (01:12:03):
We're on once a day with our daily Dots about
twenty five thirty five minute segment summarizing everything that happened
in that day.

Speaker 8 (01:12:08):
But yeah, that's the easiest way to get a hold
of us.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter tweet at
is text the program right here in the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:18):

Speaker 8 (01:12:22):
All right, fun as always, man, I have a good thingsgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
We'll see us you too. I know the crypto guys
are gonna start yelling at me.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
Don't yell at me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
I like it. It's fascinating. I'm just not a crypto bro.
It's all I'm saying. I'm not poop pooing it. I'm
just saying, settle down three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter? We got the third hour coming up, little
watch trending a little finally Friday sounds it is the
Chad Benson shryl.

Speaker 33 (01:13:01):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
I heard that Matt gets Rain.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
As nominee for ag lasted seven and a half scaramuchis
that's how we remember? That's because all the turnover and
Trump had Anthony Scaramucci that nobody had ever heard of before.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Is like, hey, this guy should be something. But Matt
Gates is out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
It's out. Matt gets by. Who's gonna replace him as
the nominee? Somebody who should have been the nominee all along?
And this right here, kids, And I'm gonna tell you this,
Susie Wiles, who is the person that is the Trump
whisper ran the campaigns? Absolutely the to me, the person

(01:14:21):
that is the most important person inside.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Of Trump world is going to be running everything for Trump?

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
Right. This was her pick. He liked Matt Gates. There
was probably some sort of little deal they did behind
we can yeah, whatever it is that was We all
knew that wasn't going to happen. But now they've got somebody,
Oh yeah, Bondy, Pam Bundy, Pam Bondi.

Speaker 35 (01:14:55):
She's the former attorney general for the state of Florida,
somebody of Trump's known for a long time and fact
has been really a part of his legal circle, inner
circle for.

Speaker 8 (01:15:03):
A long time.

Speaker 35 (01:15:04):
In fact, if you go back to that first impeachment
trial on the Senate floor, you may remember Pam Bondi
was part of Trump's defense team. So somebody that he's known, well,
somebody who is an all in Trump loyalist, all.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
In Trump loyalist or mac goodness and a friend, so
she must not be qualified.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
On the contrary, Pam Bondie is exactly that Eli Honing
from CNN, as we all know, can't stand Trump or
anything on the right when asked, and he is a
legal expert, she any good.

Speaker 44 (01:15:41):
And Bondi is without a question qualified to be attorney general.
She's been a prosecutor for twenty years in Florida. For
eight of those she was the attorney general of the state.
That's a very big, very complicated job, and that level
of experience is on par with or better than most
United States attorneys general that we've seen over the past
fifty years.

Speaker 34 (01:15:59):
Or.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
What do you mean, she's good MSNBC, What do you
guys have to say?

Speaker 7 (01:16:06):
Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the
last segment that we should all fear because she's competent.
We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually
knows how to do this job. So if anyone on
the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or
justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gates will screw this
up and that'll give us some time, No, Pambondy knows
what she's doing. She knows what she's doing about immigration. Remember,

(01:16:27):
Florida is one of those states that's been very aggressive
about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states
and everything else like that. Florida has enacted all sorts
of rules and laws to curtailed students and what they
can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating
education money. She is a dangerous and effective pick.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
Dangerous and effective Pam Bondie. Yeah, this was what should
have happened, and this is what you have now. She
for the most part. You know they're gonna they're already looking.

(01:17:07):
I mean last night New York Times came out, Oh
we've already got someb butter. This is it. We've got
sub oughter. You guys, we're investigated, because we're gonna investigate
it for deep down. We're investing. What had she done.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
It was something to do with Trump University.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
We've got it out.

Speaker 35 (01:17:21):
Bondy served as Florida's Attorney general from twenty eleven to
twenty nineteen, a tenure not without controversy, including her decision
to pass on a case against Trump University shortly after
receiving a donation from the Trump Foundation, but both Trump
and Bondi deny any wrongdoing. After Joe Biden won the
twenty twenty presidential election, Bondi backed Trump's false claims of

(01:17:43):
election fraud.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
Oh they've got her now. They've got nothing on her,
not a thing unless there's something we don't know about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
Did you get drunk with teenage boys?

Speaker 24 (01:17:52):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
Earlier today, I was fortunate enough to hang out with
one of the chicks of the Chicks on the Right,
and we were talking about this, and I blew her
mind when I said, Pam Bondy's sixty. She's like, what,
she's six. She doesn't look sixty, she doesn't act sixty.
She's badass. She's qualified. See Matt Gates wasn't qualified. He

(01:18:19):
wasn't an idiot, but he wasn't qualified. And the whole like,
you have to be super qualified and you have to
have done all these things. You're to Ellie Holing there said, look,
she's got more experience than arguably anybody in last what
fifty years. That being said, everybody's got a little something,
I'm sure in the past, and the whole Well, we've

(01:18:39):
got her. Now, we've got her, now, Chad bad We've
got her right here. Look at this, this is this
is we've got her. Well, tell us about it, oh bow.
She looked into investigating Trump University, a pack that she
support got twenty five thousand dollars. Did it happen? Didn't
it happen? Oh by? This is one of those things
where they're going to look around and go, is that

(01:19:02):
all we got?

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
We don't have anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
We don't have her trying to sexually assault a young
teenage boy at a party forty years ago. No, we
don't have that. We don't have her paying seventeen year
olds money via venmo somewhere. No, we don't have are
you sure somebody? Look, No, that's all they have, so

(01:19:27):
alas this is it. And then my favorite thing of
all is when they go, you know, she's loyal. What
does that even mean that she'll do the bidding?

Speaker 8 (01:19:42):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:19:42):
No, tell me what that means loyal?

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
Will you get it?

Speaker 40 (01:19:46):
Chad?

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
No, this isn't the mob. She's loyal first and foremost
to the rule of law and the constitution, because that's
what matters. You could say, well, we're gonna do this,
and the constitution and law will say you're not. That's
one of the things that people forget.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
She withstood.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
So what happens a lot of times with the ag
is not only the top cot of the state or
the country, is you're protecting your state and you're doing
things for the state, and then what happens the Feds
will come in and go, we're gonna sue you. They
did that with immigration, and she won with the bills
through Don't Say A and all these kind of stuff

(01:20:27):
that did she help craft and push and do all
this stuff. They they with stood.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
That's what happens when you're an AG.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
You fight a lot of times against the Fed. Do
you see what's going on right now in California where
they're already coming out going, we've already started to get
ready to file lawsuits and do all these kind of
things in walka waka waka because we want to stop
Trump and lah lah dah dah. That's them getting ready
to do stuff. Go to Texas, right, Paxton, how many

(01:21:00):
times has he fought against the Feds over immigration stuff?
Numerous times? So that's what the AG does. She's done
stuff that has protected the state of Florida from the Feds.
She is tough and loyal. Well, she has a political belief.

(01:21:22):
My political belief is this. It aligns with him.

Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
I believe this is the right way to go.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Well, she's loyal. Do you think that she's just gonna
go if he goes, Hey, we're gonna go wipe out
a bunch of people. You ignore it. We're gonna go
do this, you ignore it, Go get these people on
what basis? No basis you just do it? No, No,
that's not it. But do you want people that are
aligned with your views and the way that you think

(01:21:48):
should go? Yes, how about this? If you don't think
that's true. You and your friends go out rowing today,
all of you try to row in different directions. See
how that goes? Okay. I just I'm I'm fascinated by
the people that are upset, because do you think that
when Obama went to Eric Holder and said, hey, let's

(01:22:11):
get Eric Holder? He hates me. He'll go against everything
that I believe. He won't uphold any of the things
that I want done. Just you go get somebody like
that for me, It's not the way it works. Three
two three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three at

(01:22:31):
Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter tweet? At his text
a program. I just I'm fascinated by these people who
freak out and goes, She's gonna be loyal.

Speaker 41 (01:22:42):
You.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
It's funny loyalty. The way that they spin it makes
it sound like you would never question anything, because they
think that's what's in the mind of all of these
people is yep, don't ever question anything. You just do
exactly what I tell you to do or else, which
is so weird. Three two three, five, three eight twenty

(01:23:04):
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things. Meanwhile, the holiday
season is here. It's gonna be ugly on the roads.
We are off all next week. I'll let you guys
know that. Are we gonna be doing videos, We're gonna
doing stuff like that. We just want to let you
guys know we're gonna be off all next week. So

(01:23:25):
understand that if you're gonna go fly, fly early, and
fly often.

Speaker 45 (01:23:28):
If you haven't booked your flights yet, or if you
have a little bit of flexibility, you could maybe move
them around. Try to get a flight that takes off
early in the morning, the five am to eight am window. Yes,
it means an earlier wake up, but you can greatly
reduce your risk of having your flights delayed by taking
off early in the morning. And as always, when we're
talking about big crowds like these, you want to make
sure you get there early, give yourself extra time.

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
To work through the lines or or or don't here.

Speaker 45 (01:23:53):
We are once again poised to break some records this
holiday travel season. TSA says the Sunday after Thanksgiving could
be the busiest day in the agency's history, more than
three million people flying. But really, beginning the start of
next week, it's gonna be busy day after day after day.
Just the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, the FAA is anticipating more
than fifty thousand flights just that day again.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):

but because we have a special ending of the show today,
we're gonna do little sounds of fun. That is our

and all of the crazy stuff that happened this week.

Speaker 11 (01:26:43):
Joe and I went to mar A Lago to meet
personally with President elect Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:26:48):
Go fuck yourselves, Go fuck yourselves.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
Beame amazed.

Speaker 12 (01:26:52):
I did not expect Hitler to get so many meeting requests,
first from Joe Biden, now from Mika and Joe. It's
amazing that literal Hitler is getting all these meeting requests.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
I'm not one hundred dollars fucking my hole.

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
I know how I said.

Speaker 8 (01:27:05):
Anybody's burning.

Speaker 4 (01:27:07):
Hold I through my bogetin and do my skin. I'm
on the morning, I'll be brown. It's final fi freeing.
I'm done my motor running again, finding.

Speaker 34 (01:27:22):
That I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:27:25):
Working the duck.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
Come brother, you got it wrong.

Speaker 15 (01:27:33):
You're every monstrously and stupidly wrong. So okay, all right,
can I just finish it?

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
And it's like answer the guydamn question. Please. These are words.

Speaker 16 (01:27:42):
I never thought I'd say five million dollars for a banana.

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
It's fining that five free.

Speaker 4 (01:27:49):
I don my motor running again. It's finding that I'm
having drum working the duck.

Speaker 15 (01:27:58):
Come, AI can write you excellent imitative verse.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
It cannot write you Shakespeare.

Speaker 18 (01:28:06):
I'm asking you to please give this monster life without
any chance to parole, so that he never gives the
chance to hurt anyone else ever again.

Speaker 8 (01:28:14):
Count one, malice, murder. I'll send you to life without
the possibility to parole.

Speaker 19 (01:28:19):
If we declare war on the cartel. These dudes are
not going to understand what the fuck is going on.

Speaker 20 (01:28:26):
If the options are dictatorship or civil war, we choose
civil war.

Speaker 21 (01:28:32):
From this, became very clear that Gates wasn't going to
get confirmed.

Speaker 22 (01:28:49):
Gates was facing a very steep uphill climb three two, three, five, three,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter,
your Instagram at chat Benson Show, seven on the TikTok
and all the other stuff right here the Chat Betson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:29:06):
At the end of the day, there has to be
a line in the sand. You can't allow penises in
women's locker rooms.

Speaker 46 (01:29:12):
And I just want to say this to the Democrats,
which I'm an independent who voted Democratic two minutes favor.
Shut up up, you guys lost because y'all stupid. I
love that right there from Charles. Y'all stupid Matt Gates,
as you guys know, is out. John Fetterman, what was
your reaction?

Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
Holy, I didn't see that coming. Yes, he was the
ultimate troll. And people have the opportunity they can freak
out overthing and respond. And if you want to do that,
you better pace yourself though, because it's not even Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Pace yourself. I was watching at NewsNation.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
People ask me all the time, and I tell you, guys,
of the shows that I watch, I watch News Nation
because I think they give you all sides of stuff,
pretty balanced in everything.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
And that's what I want to hear truth. And they're
actually entertaining.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
And then I watched Breaking Points and a few other things,
but they were laughing about get used to these words
breaking news when Trump is full force president, because it's
breaking news all the time with him. Then, of course
Pam Bondi was immediately named his replacement in the running

(01:30:26):
for Ang. We'll have a little bit more about that.
A lot of other stuff to get to, including our
favorite thing to do this time of year when it
comes to Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
It is our Turkey Drop Special.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
We do it every single year to end the show,
so be prepared for that three two, three, five, twenty
four to twenty three at Chat Benson Show through Twitter.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
It is the Chad Benson Show, Chad Benson, Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
Social media is both entertaining and insane, as we all know.
And everybody's heading over to blue sky. Well, everybody on
the left is heading over to blue sky, which is
not a good thing. I'll tell you that right now
for a lot of different reasons. Well, what is blue sky?
That is an interesting thing? What is blue sky? Is

(01:31:42):
it something that is soft, warm and cuddly, Well, it
depends if you're on the left, it is everything you've
dreamed of. Because there's nobody there that has a differing opinion.
A lot of people just call it blue cry.

Speaker 47 (01:31:55):
There are a lot of people, celebrities included, who are
flocking to blue Sky. Thirty three years old. You've got
about what twenty employees or so. How are you managing
the influx the attention?

Speaker 1 (01:32:07):
What has this been like?

Speaker 16 (01:32:08):
It's super exciting. We've been scaling up. There's been about
a million people joining a day for the past week,
and we've just been telling people how it works, showing
them how it's different, and a lot of people are
saying they're having a lot more fun here. They're having
an experience where they're making friends online again and talking
to people that is just something they haven't experienced in
a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Okay, so there's that. It's kinder, it's Chandler. People are
coming over there. Looks exactly the same as Twitter, because
some of these people came straight from Twitter. It's just softer, Chad.

Speaker 47 (01:32:35):
The tone and the environment and the community that you
seek to create through Blue Sky, is it intentionally distinct
from say an X.

Speaker 16 (01:32:43):
Well, our goal is to give users in experience where
they can have fun and feel safe. Always focus a
lot on trust and safety, making sure that users have
ability to have an experience that's free from bots and
harassment and spam.

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
So you can guarantee me there's no spam or bots
on there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
That's what I want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
And one of their models they're looking at is a
subscription base, which.

Speaker 16 (01:33:03):
Is kind of interesting, making sure that you know, it's
an environment where discussions can happen and people can have
different opinions, but people aren't getting harassed, and it's a
place where you know people can split off and like
form their own communities, and it's really up to the
user what they want to do. Like, if you want
to tune into everything going on around the whole network
and see the most popular post for the last twenty

(01:33:25):
four hours, you can do that. Or you can go
over to the forest feed or the moss feed and
just look at really calm, relaxing nature pictures.

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
That's not really what it's all about. Yes, you could
do all of those things, but I will tell you
this right now, if you have a differing opinion, it
better be even further left than the people that are
already on there, because any differing opinion that they deem
hateful and evil and bad and whatnot, you're off quick.

(01:33:52):
Did you know that nearly.

Speaker 48 (01:33:54):
Forty percent of young Americans get their news from social
media influencers whose skew or towards the right. And there's
also been a mass exodus from Elon Musk's social media
site x over to the.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
News site Blue Sky.

Speaker 48 (01:34:09):
So if this is the young generation's mainstream media, does
it just intensify the echo chamber that is already cable news.

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
Yes, if we're not gonna be in an area where
we're all together and it's tough because there's a lot
of people out there that aren't civil. Let's be real,
then we're gonna have serious issues trying to have any
conversation about what we believe. That's different, trying to understand

(01:34:42):
each other, seeing if we can find common ground.

Speaker 3 (01:34:45):
Because contrary to popular belief, if.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
You go into that echo chamber, instead of going, oh,
I'm relaxing, you stoke the anger. You become more.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
And less tolerant. It's not a good thing. You need
people to push back on you.

Speaker 49 (01:35:11):
What I do worry about with this like the Blue
Sky versus X, because a lot of people I follow
on ex Twitter have now left to go to Blue Sky.
I worry we're all going into our own echo chambers.
So we had this, you know, this election that was tense.
Donald Trump won, and the right is going to stay
on X and then the left is all going to
be on Blue Sky.

Speaker 36 (01:35:27):
How do we try to talk to each other?

Speaker 48 (01:35:29):
Well, unfortunately, I will have to say the other side
I think has driven people with you. No, it's not
just discourse, it's nasty name calling. You're coming after your
family and I'm going to do this to you. And
I don't think anyone should have to take that from
anybody if.

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
They don't have to, well, that's true. But that being said,
if you're interested in dialogue and you're going to be
involved in issues in Paul, you're gonna have people that
are nasty out there. That has happened forever. The difference
is is we have immediate reach. And when you go

(01:36:08):
into that echo chamber, do you think you become more
radicalized or less radicalized?

Speaker 3 (01:36:13):
The beauty of Twitter, love.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
It or hate it is anything is a go when
it comes to speech, and if you're not advocating for
death and violence, anything's ago. Conversations, differing opinions, poking fun
at people, parody, Yes, even what people would considered hates me.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
It's all there, disinformation, all of it's there.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
When you go to a place like Blue Sky and
I'm on there and I've got several followers and I've
never posted anything, but I'm gonna when you go to
a place like that, you're gonna have no pushback because
the people that I know have gone there, Some of
them have went their control as a laugh, but others
have just went and posted some stuff and been told
immediately that they were bullies.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
And told immediately that their stuff is being shut down.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
You want to save space for beliefs that you have,
You want a utopia for that. You're going to become
more intolerant and you're going to become more radicalized in
your beliefs because they're never going to be challenged.

Speaker 50 (01:37:27):
People want us divided, and they aren't just here in
this country. There are foreign, foreign adversaries who are infiltrating
our social media because it is.

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
Prudent for us to stay that way.

Speaker 50 (01:37:37):
But when you see something that really pisses you off,
you should triple check that one.

Speaker 34 (01:37:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:37:41):
But I think that that's why people like our show,
because they know that we are checked by ABC News.
But everybody, Yeah, I mean, if we're wrong, we have
you know the legal note here.

Speaker 2 (01:37:53):
Yeah, except for the fact that that's because they're worried
about getting sued, not worried about whether you're right or
wrong on an issue. Are you lying about a person
that would get you sued? And that is joy behar
and remember they're the absolute and all to be all
when it comes to truth. And you should never listen

(01:38:16):
to anybody, especially that dragon lover.

Speaker 23 (01:38:19):
We went from Walter Cronkite basically to this guy, Joe Rogan,
who believes in dragons.

Speaker 1 (01:38:25):
I checked it.

Speaker 23 (01:38:26):
He believes in dragon. He believes in dragon, Yes I did.
And he also thinks that the dragons, like I guess,
like dinosaur type type of animals rome the earth when
people did.

Speaker 26 (01:38:36):
So.

Speaker 23 (01:38:37):
This is the type of really, really bad information that's
going out. It's impossible that John Trump did roam the
earth when dinosaurs.

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
Look at that, said the lady. That's basically the same
age as him.

Speaker 40 (01:38:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
By the way, Joe Rogan, great troller, he changed his
Twitter following to dragon believer. In context for Joe Rogan,
he has everybody on and then some because the most
important thing about Joe is not only the entertaining, but
he's curious, which is great. I tried to be curious too.
The other thing is, in context of the dragon thing,

(01:39:11):
the discussion he had and he brings people like cryptozoologists
and all these people on that crypto like and crypto,
but cryptozoologists the conversation about how is it that people
all over the world going back thousands and thousands of
years without the archaeology that we have today, where we
find dinosaurs, we dig them up, we put them together

(01:39:31):
have drawings and carvings of dragons. That is fascinating, right,
They didn't know about dragons. They didn't know about pterodactyls,
was what he was talking about. They didn't know about
you know, things like Torontosaurus rax is. Why is that?

Speaker 3 (01:39:49):
Throughout history? It's been that way? That is curious, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:39:54):
You're not allowed to be curious. Don't listen to Joe Rogan,
listen to whoever you want to listen to. But as
I say, every day, challenge your beliefs and do it
in a cordial way. And yes, if you can be funny,
also do it there too, because funny is always good.

of our favorite things to do every year, the great
Turkey Drop from w krap. Was it really something taken

(01:41:30):
from actual turkey droppings?

Speaker 24 (01:41:32):
What? What?

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
What?

Speaker 25 (01:41:34):
Poop?

Speaker 14 (01:41:34):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
Not poop? Saly?

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Somebody actually drop turkeys?

Speaker 2 (01:41:37):
Chat Benson Joe.

Speaker 29 (01:41:48):
Fronding with scissors sounds great compared to.

Speaker 20 (01:41:51):
This same.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
All right, to that time of the show and that
time of the year when we do one of our
favorite things. This is our last show before four Thanksgiving.
We're taking next week off. It's been a long year,
that's what we're trying to say. And I have a
feeling for the next four years. It's gonna be chaotic,
so we're gonna take some R and R. One of
the things we'd like to do, though, is to revisit

(01:42:15):
one of the great episodes in television history. Appears on
many lists, and it's incredible the show WKRP, the episode
the Turkey Drop. If you know anything about the episode,
to be honest with you, the first seventeen minutes of

(01:42:37):
the twenty two minute episode was very run of the mill,
but the last five minutes is incredible. The last five
minutes of the episode is one of the five funniest
minutes in television history, and oddly enough, it's based somewhat
on a true story. Hugh Wilson, who was the creator

(01:43:03):
of WKRP, was friends with a guy named Jerry Blum.
He's a general manager of radio station wq XI in
Atlanta from nineteen sixty to eighty nine. He recounted telling
his story to his buddy about a turkey drop giveaway,
but not out of an airplane or a helicopter, but

(01:43:25):
out of the back of a truck at a parking
lot mall in Texas Dallas. He said people started fighting
over the live turkeys as they threw him out of
the back of the truck while it was moving, said
the next thing you know, it became a giant mess
and there were turkeys everywhere. That's what became the story

(01:43:46):
of this. Now there is an actual turkey droper. There
was in Yellville, Arkansas, with a local Chamber of Commerce,
has for years dropped turkeys, live turkeys, out of a
low flying airplane, which is, as we all know, insane.
And he gave us one of the great lines in

(01:44:06):
television history. But without further ado, I could not do
this justice, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. The great
Ensemble cast Gary Sandy as Andy, Travis, Gordon Chump as
Arthur Carlson, Lonnie Anderson, It's Jennifer Marlowe, Richard Sanders is
the incredible less Nessman, timber Reid is Venus fly Trap,

(01:44:30):
and of course Howard Hessman as doctor Johnny Fever. It's
time for the turkey drop. Oh yeah, right here on
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 51 (01:44:41):
All right, fellow babies, and now it's time to go
to our live remote man on the scene at the
Pinedale Shopping Mall for.

Speaker 8 (01:44:47):
The big WKRP turkey giveaway.

Speaker 51 (01:44:50):
So take it away, less Ness Man, This is less
ness when you're man on the scene here at the
Pinedale Shopping Center where the excitement is mounting. We're here
to witness the big w a on new Thanksgiving giveaway.

Speaker 8 (01:45:01):
You've got permission to be out here? What you're blocking
my store?

Speaker 13 (01:45:05):
Here?

Speaker 20 (01:45:05):
Buddy?

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
Don't you know who I am?

Speaker 51 (01:45:08):
Huh?

Speaker 8 (01:45:09):
I'm less Ness fan.

Speaker 51 (01:45:10):
I won the Buckeye News huck Award last year. Here
for you, buck eye, and now get out of my doorway.

Speaker 8 (01:45:16):
I'm sorry. It's free.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
So far, so good.

Speaker 37 (01:45:22):
I hear hundreds of people who have you.

Speaker 51 (01:45:24):
Got it to witness what has been described as perhaps
the greatest Turkey event in Thanksgiving date?

Speaker 40 (01:45:28):
Is?

Speaker 51 (01:45:29):
All we know for sure is that in a very
few moments they're going to be a lot of happy
people out here.

Speaker 2 (01:45:34):
And now the crowd is.

Speaker 51 (01:45:36):
The crowd is uh, curious, but well behaved. And I
think I hear something now the crowd is moving out
into the parking area and oh yes, I.

Speaker 8 (01:45:50):
Can see it now.

Speaker 51 (01:45:51):
It's a it's a Hello copter and it's coming this way.

Speaker 8 (01:45:58):
It's flying something behind it.

Speaker 51 (01:45:59):
I can quite make it out.

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
It's a large banner and it says up the things.

Speaker 51 (01:46:08):
Hilly from wy.

Speaker 10 (01:46:18):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (01:46:19):
What a sight thing is, gentlemen, What a sight?

Speaker 51 (01:46:22):
The culture seems to be circling the parking area now
I guess it's looking for a place to land.

Speaker 8 (01:46:26):
No, something just came out of the back of the helicopter.

Speaker 51 (01:46:28):
It's a dark object, perhaps a skydiver, pluming to you
to the earth from only two thousand feet in the air.
The third there's no parachutes yet, can't be skydivers.

Speaker 49 (01:46:46):
I can't not jud yet what they are.

Speaker 52 (01:46:47):
But oh my god, they're trucking this tuning to the
earth right, I'm to win chill. I was running around,
pushing each other.

Speaker 17 (01:47:01):
Oh my goodness, oh running the bombs on. The turkeys
are hitting the ground like sets of what's in is?
I don't know how much logan there.

Speaker 8 (01:47:13):
The trot is running for their lives.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
I think they're going to step inside. I can't stay
up here and watch.

Speaker 22 (01:47:18):
This in you how you know?

Speaker 2 (01:47:19):
I can't go in there.

Speaker 43 (01:47:23):
And hasn't been anything like this.

Speaker 8 (01:47:27):
I don't know how much I can hold my position here.

Speaker 53 (01:47:29):
Johnny Last Last, are you there? Lass isn't there? Thanks
for that on the spot report. Last just tuned in
the Pinedale Shopping mall has just been bombed with turkey.

Speaker 24 (01:47:52):
Thanks less, are you?

Speaker 8 (01:47:54):
Okay?

Speaker 51 (01:47:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:47:56):
A man and his two children tried to kill me.

Speaker 51 (01:48:01):
Back to the turkeys hit the pavement. The crowd kind
of scattered, but some of them tried to attack me.
I ha to gem myself into a phone booth. Then
mister Carlson had the helicopter land in the middle of
the parking lot. I guess he thought he could save
the day by turning the rest of the turkeys loose.

Speaker 8 (01:48:21):
It's pretty strange after that, Let's come on now, tell
us the rest.

Speaker 51 (01:48:28):
I really don't know how to describe it. It was
like the turkeys mounted a counter attack. It was almost
as if they were organized.

Speaker 8 (01:48:46):
As God. As my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
One of the greatest episodes in television history, that turkey
drop from w k RP. Oh my goodness. Hey, I

Speaker 3 (01:49:23):

Speaker 2 (01:49:26):
But remember their family and they may believe something different politically,
but be kind okay, and don't spike the ball unless
they're kind of, you know, douchey than have at it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:35):
You guys, have a blessed one. Good night, died Jack.
