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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Who will be running the Pentagon. That's a big deal
because overnight things started to feel a little fishy. The
more that's coming out about uh Pete Heggskat, the more
that I think some people having some serious questions. Now,
you're not supposed to believe everything you eat. You're supposed
to fact check, you're supposed to know that some of

(00:35):
these things that are publishing stuff are coming in with
an angle to come after Pete. But there's a lot
of fire there with this smoke. It's not just smoke.
I think there's a little bit of worry. And I
remind everybody this because you know, I tweeted out earlier
because the rumor on the street that's becoming louder and

(00:57):
louder is that they're looking at but Tenuly rona sanctimonious
taking over for Pete, leaving his governorship Florida taking over
running the Pentagon. He's got big experience, There's no doubt
about that. Several people chimed in because I tweeted it
out and they said, oh no, they're standing behind Pete.
I said, here's the difference between senators and congress people.

(01:20):
You can really get after Congress people in the way
you can't after senators. Senator's jobs are pretty damn secure.
They're not going anywhere, and they've already signaled that they're
willing to push back. So if you're not following this story,
you know, Trump's got a battle here to get some
of these people through, and some of them I think
he's going to get through in a much easier way

(01:41):
than people realize. Pete, on the other hand, it could
be some issues.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
So this New Yorker reporting highlights documents and a whistleblower
report from the time that Pete Hegseth was at the
helm of two veterans groups that are conservative nonprofit groups
that he was in charge of several years ago. And
what this whistleblower report alleges, according to The New Yorker,
is that Pete Hegseth repeatedly mishandled the funding for the

(02:08):
organization and also abused alcohol while he was.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
On the job. Now, I don't know if any of
those things are true. You have to do your due diligence.
That is what you must do. But there's no doubt
that this is a situation that I think, like anything,
you want to get your people through as fast and
as easy as you possibly can, but the reality is

(02:34):
there's going to be some hiccups here and there. They
were taken back a little bit by some of the
allegations that they thought they knew a few of them.
But some of these other ones that are coming out.
You've got people that are defending him or coworkers, but
you also have people, some at Fox some elsewhere who

(02:55):
are saying, yeah, there's a lot more to the story
with this care.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
The math here is really tight. It only takes three
Republicans in the Senate to say they won't vote to
confirm Pete Hegseth, assuming all Democrats say they won't confirm him,
for his whole nomination to get derailed. And the words
of Senator Kramer from North Dakota, who's a Trump ally,
he deserves the.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Chance to have a fresh start.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
We heard Senator Lindsay Graham, who's another big Trump ally,
I say it is disturbing that some of these allegations
have emerged, but he wants to see how this plays
out over time.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
And I absolutely think you have to do that. You
have to let it play out over time. But then
you ask yourself, how many of these do you give him?
Because is there another one? Is there a next one?
Is there something else? You don't want that the fact

(03:48):
that they're even talking about it, and stuff is leaking
that Jony Ertz may be up for something and you know,
instead of beat hegseth And then all of a sudden
you've got, you know, a bunch of stuff where you're
seeing the likes of Ronda Santis and them hanging out,
and that stuff starts to leak. There is a sense
that maybe they're looking and going, yeah, should we be
moving on from this? Is there any more? Because if

(04:10):
there's any more, man, there's only so much we can
go to the mat because we've got other people we
got to get through here. And he would be a disruptor.
But here's the thing, you get the same with the
likes of Ronda Santis. He'll fight the wokeness, but he's
also served in the military, run a state, ran for president,
has a little bit more political cachet than just being

(04:34):
somebody who's there to disrupt.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Some of these articles are very disturbing.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
He you know, obviously has a chance to defend himself here.
But you know, some of this stuff is.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Going to be difficult.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Lindsay Graham right there, We'll see a lot of people
are like, Nope, they're going to do it. I'm just
I remind everybody the Senate is much different than Congress.
You saw that with Jo and the pushback they had
with Matt Gates, and you realize, Okay, this is not
the kind of stuff that you're going to get with Congress,

(05:09):
because they did a full press online to a bunch
of senators when it came to Matt Gates and they
were like, yeah, you know, no, we're here for six years, dude,
you're here for four. So we're a bit different. Those
guys down there in the House, they're there for two.
They're always running. We're not. Our job's a little bit

(05:30):
more secure. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chandmenton shows your Twitter tweet at
his text the program speaking of secure his job, I
don't think is so if you're not following what's going
on in South Korea, it is bizarre, to say the least.
So yesterday out of nowhere, dude, being the president. Besides,

(05:56):
I'm declaring martial law. Wait what yeah, you're declaring martial law. Well,
why are you declaring martial law? And he had a
lot of different reasons. My favorite one though, is the
fact that first of all, he's unpopular for you know
anything about the president over there, president of Unit is unpopular,
and he has not got a great relationship with even

(06:18):
his own party, pretty damn conservative. But he's blaming it
all on the North Koreans and his people both on
the opposite party and in his party basically being seduced
by North Korea. So he declares out of nowhere martial law.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
Wild tensions between North and South Korea have have had
this ebb and flow throughout recent times. The relationship has
been particularly fraught under Yun, and I think many different
nations across the world, including the States, will be watching
this very closely to see if there is more a
threatening rhetoric.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
And let's not forget in North Korea as.

Speaker 7 (06:54):
Well, which will probably use this as a big propaganda
tool and try and humiliate Yun and their neighbors even further.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, I think that's a possibility for sure. So he
accused his people, so all of a sudden, people take
to the streets, right, and you think, okay, this is
going to be chaotic. They're talking about tanks, they're talking
about all kinds of stuff. And then the Parliament, you know,
they get together the House essentially, you know, Congress, you
get together there, there's one hundred and ninety of them,
and all one hundred and ninety say, yeah, we overturn this.

(07:24):
And he's like, oh, really, but you guys are hanging
out with the North Koreans.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
President Yun came out with this late night address. He
said he wanted to root out North Korean elements in
the country by implementing martial law. Now, he was responding
to domestic pressure that he's been under. His popularity has
been declining, He's had problems getting the national budget through.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
He's basically a lane duck president.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, and he's totally unpopular, like you could not believe.
But it was a think about this. North Korea's next door,
they got a nuclear weapon, they're opinion and every but
he's ass South Korea has a lot of Americans there,
we have a lot of well interest in the region,
and you've got this nut job coming out and doing this.

(08:12):
And by the way, I think this may been his
last gasp effort in holding on to any kind of power.

Speaker 7 (08:20):
Une is right wing, he's conservative, and he is hugely
unpopular in South Korea, and he's been marred by controversy
and checks and balances against him. This seems to be
a deeply political move that he's made to try and

(08:41):
regain some control, regain the upper hand.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Now it may have backfired.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
There is already a lot of anger towards Une based
on this amble that he took.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I think it's a gamble he lost. But I want
you guys to think about the chaos that's going on
in the world. Talked about yesterday with Mike Lions and
we haven't even got to Africa. And of course yesterday
Biden came out and gave a billion dollars to Africa,
and people in North Carolina and elsewhere going to excuse us,
excuse us, where'd you get that? Because we were told
there was no money. And I know that's for FEMA,

(09:14):
But you got that somewhere and you're giving them a
billion bucks? What about us? What about little help over
here which has cost controversy and it's not going well.
But he doesn't really give a red that's at this
moment in time. Uh. But there is the Middle East
which Trump is getting ready to face head on. You've

(09:38):
got obviously was taking part in Eastern Europe, which I
think is going to end quicker than what goes on
in the Middle East, because the Middle East as well,
it's the Middle damn, he's for God's sakes, it's it's
a hot mess. Since I don't know, forever I read
the Bible, they're always warring. So this is it's a hotspot.
And then of course you've got Asia and in particular

(10:01):
you've got China, You've got North Korea, and you've got Taiwan,
and what are you walking into? So this is just
an interesting time for sure in the world we live
this holiday season three, two, three, five, three, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter

(10:22):

in the game. We talk a bit about that. Can
we even do anything to protect anybody? I say no,
But there are doctors out there that say, maybe maybe

(10:45):
plus big doings the Supreme Court. Big doings at the
Supreme Court, trans issues front and center today. Talk a
bit about that as well. And uh, the other controversy, Eh,

(11:06):

we're going to talk about it about yes, the elephant

isn't in the room? Chat, did you make a funny

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Chef Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Christmas a right there. It's a great George Michael and
Wham Last Christmas. Starting tomorrow, we're gonna be counting down
the five best Christmas Songs, which will then lead us
to the five Best Christmas Movies. As we wrap out
the last portion of the Chad Benson Show for the year,

(13:31):
here's some interesting information. Yesterday it was the fortieth anniversary
of this song being released, and you mentioned forty years ago.
My god, do I feel old yet young? At the
same time. How weird is that Christmas Classic? Will it
be on the list? It just might be. Speaking of Christmas,

(13:55):
we are spending, spending, spending. Are there great deals still
to be had this holiday season?

Speaker 8 (14:02):
There are so many deals still to be had. I mean,
the discounts may not be as deep as we saw
Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, but the deals are going to
be throughout December. Some hot sellers, toys, great deals on
some legos, Harry Potter, figurines, skincare sets, laptops and computers.
TVs big sellers this year, and it looks like the

(14:23):
big screen TVs are back. Seventy five inch eighty five
inch TVs selling really really well this weekend.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
The things we need more expensive, the things we want
way cheaper. We've talked about that. If you go back
and look at how cheap stuff is that we want
compared to what we need, it's crazy, man, When you
were younger, like I'm fifty three, I'm not old, but
I'm not young. And I always remind myself when I

(14:54):
go look at TVs because we've just moved get We're like,
we're half moved. One of the things we talk about, well,
we need new TVs because it's way cheaper just to
buy a new TV then move your old TV because
back in the day, your TV costs a ton of money,

(15:15):
right and it was made of oak with a giant
piece of glass. Now it's like my sixty five inch
went out, what are you gonna do that? Threw it away,
went and bought a new one cost a buck. I mean,
it's crazy. One of the other things we're doing shopping
wise is we're using the app.

Speaker 8 (15:32):
Apparently we're getting a lot more comfortable making purchases using these.
Back in twenty nineteen, just thirty three percent of purchases
were made with the mobile device. This year fifty seven percent.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's a lot. The apps are everywhere. I know I
have had my wife's addicted to some of those apps,
which is not good. Timus. She loves herself some Timo.
She'd be on tm MOUs She's like, look at this
TikTok chop. Oh my god. But the app on Temu
it's great because Timu is a It's one of those
things where you never know what you're gonna get and

(16:06):
you never know when it's gonna come. I'm expecting some
Christmas stuff that we've ordered to show up in July.
And because we use apps and because we do all
of these things like Amazon and whatnot, things get delivered
to our house. Now, when they get delivered to our house,
they put them where on the porch. And as we
all know, there are pirates everywhere. Do you have insurance

(16:29):
for that?

Speaker 8 (16:29):
There is a startup company called porch Pals now selling
insurance for those you know, victimized bags. It's like one
hundred and twenty dollars a year for two thousand dollars
worth of coverage. But you know, it's not fool proof.
It's not gonna stop them from taking the package at
your door. But at least it's one other way that
we can sort of protect our packages.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yes, protect your packages, and we get those great things
this year, you know, like every year, right people have
the ring doorbell and one of those things and somebody
goes up and they open it up and it's like,
oh my god, it's a cobra. You thought you were
going to steal my stuff, but instead I put a
cobra in there. What do you think of those apples?
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three
at Chad Benson Show to Twitter your Instagram Blue Sky.

(17:12):
We'll talk a little bit about that later. Find it interesting.
I'm on the Blue Sky. That is the rival supposedly
to Twitter, but it doesn't have the reach, and it's
also just an echo chamber. It is the Chad Benson Show, Son.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 9 (17:58):
Joe's jus sure, Joe's not there now. Actually, Joe is
in Africa, hiding.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
From the fallout.

Speaker 9 (18:07):
Over his decision to give a blanket pardon to his
son Hunter. I'm guessing his family's not thrilled with it either.
It's going to be hard for Jill to match that
Christmas gift.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh oh, what's this? Oh memory foam slippers? Thank you,
thanks Mom? Buy any chance?

Speaker 9 (18:22):
Do these give me a decade of immunity from federal prosecution?

Speaker 2 (18:26):
No? Okay, is there a gift receipt. It's funny, now,
isn't it. You guys weren't saying it was so funny
when he was like, Joe is all about justice. It
would now he did step in and do something. Well,
I guess he wasn't as about justice as you thought
he was. Now the question is who is next to

(18:47):
be pardon your Joe Manchin say yesterday, I think you
should be pardoning Trump. I think it's time to make
this all go away. James Clyburn, what do you think
about it?

Speaker 10 (18:58):
Well, I've said people that I'm in that category as well.
I did see what Mansion had to say. Remember that
Trump has not been convicted of anything in the federal realm.
Those convictions are state convictions, So I'm not talking about
state here. I'm talking about things that could impede our

(19:22):
federal government. And so I believe that Mansion may be
onto something there.

Speaker 11 (19:30):
Pardoning Trump for the federal crimes.

Speaker 10 (19:33):
Yes, I could, absolutely, because the Supreme Court has pretty
much made it very clear that he is pemptively pardoned
of anything he may do.

Speaker 12 (19:45):
As president because of the Immunity Decision Acts.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
And I remind everybody again the immunity is about you
doing stuff that is presidential in nature that would otherwise
if you weren't the president, give you no cover and
you could be in trouble. So if you're doing something

(20:09):
that is personal as the president, it's for your personal betterment,
not for the government, not as president, not, you have
no immunity in that. So one or mind of everything's
just blakeing immunity. You can do whatever he wants for No,
that's not true. God, God, that's not true. Everybody's slow

(20:31):
your role crazy. I think he I think this whole
thing just needs to go away. And I've said this.
Had Trump never run for president the second time, he
wasn't gonna be prosecuted. Had Biden ever ran for president
or Biden lost, all this other stuff would have disappeared

(20:53):
and gone away. So, yes, are they getting away with
things in people's minds that they shouldn't get away with?
That's fair to say. Are they also being charged and
being pursued in ways that they wouldn't be the average
person wouldn't be because of who they are and what
they were doing. Correct, Yes, we move on from this.
It is time to move on. Speaking of moving on,
yesterday Chad Benson and the Chad Benson Show, That'll be

(21:17):
Me watched the trailer for a movie for a movie.
What movie is that? Chet? I'm here to tell you
that movie would be snow What? And the seven actors
who voice CGI, which doesn't have a catchy tune, It

(21:38):
sounds a little something like this. The Queen is Evil,
Beam free into the woods.

Speaker 13 (21:49):
Hell, is anybody here?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
It's a human? What did you think? I was, nothing goes.
So I watched it and I noticed no dwarves, no
little people. Well they're cgi. Now, this movie has already

(22:29):
been fraught with controversy. And I bring this up because
remember what happened with Peter Dinklic, who's kind of like
the king of all the little people actors. He's an
amazing actor, but for whatever reason, they've decided that and
by that I mean Hollywood, that he got to be
the king of it all. It used to be Warwick Davis,

(22:53):
He's the Leprechaun, and it was also in Willow, But
now it's Peter Dinkland. And he was on Mark Marrin's
podcast a couple of years ago, and when they announced
that this was going to happen, this movie was going
to take place, this is what he said.

Speaker 14 (23:07):
I was a little taken back by the very very
they're very proud to cast a Latino actress as snow White. Yeah,
but you're still telling the story of Snow snow White.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yea.

Speaker 14 (23:20):
Seven dwarfs.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Sure, take a step back.

Speaker 14 (23:23):
And look at what you're doing there.

Speaker 6 (23:24):
Yeah, I know it.

Speaker 14 (23:25):
Makes no sense to me. So you're progressive in one way,
and then but you're still making that backward oh story
about seven dwarves living in a cave.

Speaker 10 (23:36):
To get what the you're doing.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Man, man, Well, what they're doing is they're making, first
of all, a movie that so the controversy with the
lead actress who says it's it's a feminist movie doesn't
need a man. She is a I think she's of
Colombian descent. Part of the reason snow White is snow
White is because her skin is so white, right, and

(24:01):
she's supposed to be beautiful in the movie. Well, the
evil queen is Gail Goaddott. I'm sorry, you just don't compete.
Gail Godott is ridiculous. But then the whole thing about
the little people, right, And Disney heard the podcast, and
it's interesting because we're going to get to how powerful
podcasts are. And this is going back two years. Disney

(24:21):
heard that, and then they released their remarks.

Speaker 15 (24:23):
Following Peter's remarks, a spokesperson for Disney told ET in
a statement quote, to avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original
animated film, we are taking a different approach with these
seven characters and have been consulting with members of the
dwarfism community.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
And you came up with, we'll just see gi itt
and we'll give regular people the opportunity to voice it.
You took seven jobs away for your woke, wacky ideas.
You took seven jobs away. Dwarfs exist, they do. You

(25:03):
don't need to CGI them. If you want a talking tortoise,
you do. But if you want a dwarf, they're there.
They're unique. The opportunity for them to have jobs in
Hollywood are there. But this is a major motion picture
and you took seven freaking jobs away, and then you

(25:26):
didn't even let and there was one dwarf that voices
one of the characters. The rest of them are just
REGs in freakingsane. It's insane. It's not like, well, dwarfs
don't exist. I was watching a couple of people talk

(25:49):
about this, and they were even joking about the fact
that an opah Lupa now in the Willie Walker movie
is what it's Hugh Grant's head on a CGI body.
Does it make everybody feel good? Probably not. You took
seven people's jobs away. They're not happy about it. They're

(26:13):
a little angry. You're such a three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is
your Twitter tweet at a texta program. We're gonna talk
a little football and then next hour we're gonna talk

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Irre like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Let's talk sports. There's a lot of issues in football.
College football this weekend was amazing. But you can't go
out to somebody's you know, midfield and plant your flag
on the logo and not expect fights. That wasn't good.
But if you didn't watch the NFL this weekend, there

(28:36):
was a massive hit, a huge hit on one of
the stars of the game, one of the young stars
of the game. Because name is Trevor Lawrence and he
got beliterated. So it was a design run, comes out
to the left, slides and just gets knocked out. And
it was it was. It was uncomfortable to watch because

(28:57):
he's six foot five. He's a beast of a man,
and as my wife likes to say, he's beautiful. It's
like he's Anna Dunnis. They chiseled him out of a
stone and he was stone for a while. He was
riga mortising. Well, they've suspended the guy who did that. Now,
you know in the NFL, when you slide, you're done.
That means it's over. You can't do anything. This guy

(29:18):
was like a missile, I mean just ferocious. I told
my wife he doesn't care about the fine. I mean,
nobody wants to be fined. But in the NFL, losing games,
you only gets seventeen of these a year. That's important.
They don't want to lose games. They don't want to
miss games. He's gonna miss some.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Jacksonville Jaguar's quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was taken from the
field in a golf cart after Texans player and ziz
Al Shahier laid him out during the second quarter. Texans
head coach Demiko Ryans is standing by al Shaire.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
It wasn't our guys.

Speaker 16 (29:50):
Their team overreacted, pushed our guy, dragging our guy to
the sidela.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
So that's uncalled for.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
The NFL this morning has issued a three game unpaid
suspension now as he's al shah here for multiple violations
of rules on sportsmanship.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Now, as I watched it, I said, let me tell
you some Yeah, they dragged him and then one guy
who jumped on top of him, who's going to be
suspended and started thumping him. I said, that guy would
be suspended for a game. That guy will be cheered
in the locker room. That guy will be cheered in
locker room. That's what you do to protect your quarterback.
You send a message. It's not about the fight. By

(30:26):
the way, the guy who apologized Algiers, he said, I
understand why they did it, totally get it. Do I
think he deserves the three game suspension? We could talk
about that in a second. Everybody's a little bit pissed
about this, but this is the gladiator world we live
in now. Gladiator's outright now. Gladiator too electric boogoloo. And
I say this because people think gladiators because you go

(30:50):
to watch that movie, you think they die like every like,
that's just it. They go out there they died. They didn't.
Gladiators were expensive. You had to house them, you had
to train them. Killing them was not a good thing.
If you were on the other side. A lot of
it was show and it's the same thing here. These
are their modern day gladiators. Modern day gladiators cost a

(31:10):
lot of money. If he was a running back, if
he was a wide receiver, there'd be a suspension. But
he is your gladiator gladiator. He's the gladiator of gladiators.
You don't want to watch something like that happen on
the field. People are pissed about it. But there's some
questions again about head injuries in football. And you see
this year if you watch the NFL, they have those

(31:32):
caps on on top of their helmets. You're like, why
is that guy got It looks like a blow up
thing on top of his helmet. There's a reason for that.
People are realizing what is going on and they're terrified.
They love this game. When you're young, you think you're invincible.
No one couldn't stop me. I'm invincible. Then you realize
as you see players who are older, Oh my god,

(31:52):
I am invincible. But I love the game and I
don't want to stop. But I also know I'm putting
myself in harm's way. She had a kid from Texas,
I think it was Texas at and T College where
he got hit, went until coma, was in a coma
for a month, just died this past week. They're trying
to figure out what they can do to make things safer,

(32:14):
and the reality is there's only so much you can
do to make things safer. This here be a doctor.

Speaker 17 (32:19):
A lot of the time is ninety plus percent of
the time, these players miss a week or two with
a concussion and that's it. But if there was a fracture,
if there was a re injury after the initial concussion,
there is a chance that, unfortunately, it can lead to
this obviously quite rare, but I'd be curious to see

(32:40):
the specifics as to exactly why this happened, because this
is not common.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Thankfully, No, it's not. So he died, he got hit,
it was a bad situation, and a month later after
he'd been into coma, he passed away. Those things are
going to happen. You have god knows how many kids,
how many adults, young adults who are playing football. Things
are going to happen like that. It happens in pretty
much every sport across the country. Sometimes it's a cardiac event,

(33:06):
sometimes it's a head event. Those things happen. The issue
with football is they're bigger, they're stronger, they're faster. The
equipment gives them a false sense of security and we
are watching our modern day gladiators kill themselves, if not
on the field today, which they're not, definitely a much
faster way to die in the future. And it's it

(33:30):
is a tough thing.

Speaker 18 (33:30):
Man.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
When I watched Trevor Lawrence, oh god, I mean he
did that thing with like too. He had the Riga Mortis.
You guys know Tua Tonguavalow from Miami. He went to
that riga mortis. Where's body was stiffing. It was. It
was tough.

Speaker 17 (33:41):
Yes, I mean they're starting to push the Guardian Caps,
the little extra crazy caps they see in the NFL.
I think that data is okay, It's not amazing, but
it's okay. I think a lot of it has to
do a technique, and then that's kind of where it
needs to start. If a player is tackled in the
wrong manner, if the player is kind of being dirty

(34:02):
and directing their helmet, or there's different situations where you
can have a lower Caesar threshold, a lower threshold for concussions,
and that's what we seen with Tua. It didn't really
take a whole lot for him to suffer a new
one because his brain has already been exposed to it
so many times that it doesn't take enough of a

(34:23):
stimuli to really set him over the edge. We saw
that again this past weekend with Trevor Lawrence of the
Jetsamble Jaguars doing that the fencing response, which is kind
of that weird hand I call the rigamors.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
They called it fencing whatever, doctors idiots, But and that
whole thing about you have one concussion and then the
second one comes a little bit easier than the third one,
and that is tough. Every time two of runs. I thought,
oh god, this guy, I mean, at what point, I
mean earlier this year, after he got knocked out again
what seemed like in just a meaningless hit, you think
how many times and it's going to happen, mark my words,

(34:56):
at some point in time. And it's not going to
be like what happened to mar Hamlin or something like
that was a hard issue. It's going to happen on
the field where somebody gets hit and it's they're going
to die. And I'll say this I had. It happened
to a kid that I coached playing soccer. Sometimes it's

(35:18):
just unfortunately the luck of the unluck. And it was
an innocuous play. It was his first high school game.
I was there to watch him. He was on my
club team. They threw a ball like throwing. He smashed
heads with somebody, went down to the ground and he
was dead. There was nothing they could do. The doctor said,
is where they hit him. If he tried a million times,

(35:42):
you couldn't replicate that again. It severed his spine from
his spinal cord, from his from his head. There wasn't
anything crazy. But it will happen one day, And how
do we react to that? Because we love this game.
I mean, it owns us it owns the day of
the week. But it is tough to watch at times three, two, three, five, three, eight,

(36:02):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at us text of program. If you're
mistening to the show, I say, shame on you, shame
grab the podcast. This here be the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Front End Center. Today the Supreme Court of the United
States of America. Do do do? Why is that? Well?
This last election, kids, a lot was made about all
kinds of crazy issues that the left turned into this
woke insanity that the right said, this is not where

(37:07):
most of America is. And that included the trends gender issue.
And I'm not talking about adults. I'm talking about children.
I'm not talking about a forty two year old. I'm
talking about a four year old. I'm talking about a
nine year old. That is the battle that is going

(37:29):
on today in the Supreme Court. So Tennessee, which I
will tell you is a state that I currently resided.
What Yes, more on that a little bit later. That
being said, they are in front of the Supreme Court today, Hey,

(37:50):
Giez Cremetti, Jack Johnson, the guy who crafted SB one
is going to have their opportunity and, as they would say,
day in court.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
In an exclusive interview, with ABC's Devin Dwyer. Sixteen year
old lw said she felt trapped before she began taking
puberty blockers.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
I felt amazing after that.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
Her family sued Tennessee challenging its ban on gender affirming
care for minors. Republican state Senator Jack Johnson sponsored the bill,
citing the risk of irreversible harm.

Speaker 19 (38:21):
You can't get a tattoo in the state of Tennessee
if you're under the age of eighteen.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
Twenty five. Other states have similar bands.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Now, I just listened to Jack Johnson, not the singer
who is great, by the way, or the boxer who
also was great, but the person who authored the bill,
and he was on with my friend Dan Mandis at
Super talking ninety ninety seven. More of that later. Dan

(38:50):
had him on this morning because they're getting ready to
go in and you know, we have their case. Heard it.
It was an interesting conversation. He's like, look, eighteen to
join the military, eighteen to be considered an adult, eighteen

(39:11):
to get a tattoo, eighteen to do these things to
your body, to make these decisions for yourself, eighteen. And
he said, we have no want to try to go
after adults who want to do this. You're an adult
as long as you're not hurting anybody else. This is

(39:33):
about the children, and that's what this is going to
be about today. It's about the kids. This isn't about
somebody who is thirty seven and made a decision. And
I will tell you this right now, having this issue
in my life with my eldest stepdaughter who was going

(39:59):
through bad body dysmorphia, struggling, autistic, an easy mark for groups,
and now not living that, thinking now that wasn't now.
That felt weird and I felt like I was Yeah, absolutely,

(40:22):
and this is somebody who is regretting, and you're hearing
a lot more of that. We've talked about that. Ab
Gil Schreier, we've had on the show on several occasions,
who wrote the book about this and said over and
over again, the real issue isn't going to come now.
And this was a few years ago. She says, it's

(40:42):
ten years from now when you get all of these
young in particular girls who come forward and say, oh
my god, I made a huge mistake, You allowed this
to happen, You push this on me, and they go
after the doctors, and the doctors, as she said, look
they're damned that they're doing. They're damned if they don't
when it comes to this issue, because if they don't,

(41:05):
they're worried about being what, losing their license, getting screwed,
getting labeled, all of that stuff. They're done. If they do,
they recognize at some point in time, somebody's going to
come back, and they expect it to be a lot more.

Speaker 20 (41:20):
I decided that I didn't want to be a woman
before I had ever even experienced being a woman. I
had no idea what being a woman was like because
I was a child, And now I feel like I
will never entirely know. I want to say that I

(41:42):
really feel like some people in the trans community and
the trans medicalists and the doctors really really target the
most vulnerable of us.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
They do. You need to find out a lot of
these girls in particular, but even yes, young men, autistic, lonely,
would have been cutters back in the day, maybe had
a eating disorder, but then get pushed into this radical insanity.

(42:15):
It's about the kids, and how many times the minute
you came for the kids, it changed everything. The minute
you came for the kids, it changed everything from the
moderate left to the uber conservatives. All kind of joined
forces and said, Nope, sorry, that's not gonna happen. On

(42:40):
the other side of it, the ACLU and all the
other groups are going to be arguing for affirmative care
or what we like to call child mutilation. And you
have to see this because hearing it isn't really the
same Jake Tapper had on the person that will be

(43:00):
handling this in the Supreme Court today for the group
that says we should have gender firm of care.

Speaker 19 (43:08):
I want to bring in the lawyer who's going to
argue this high profile case before the US Supreme Court,
Chase Strangio. Chase, thanks so much for being here. Really appreciated.
So the case comes at a time when twenty six
states have passed laws restricting healthcare treatments for transgender youth.
How do you plan to argue before the US Supreme
Court in a case that could have wind ranging implications
beyond the state of Tennessee.

Speaker 21 (43:28):
Obviously, this is a critical inflection point for transgender people
across the country. We're coming off of an election season
where transgender people played an outside role in people's consciousness
in terms of the way in which we were situated
as a threat to others.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Okay, first of all, it is a woman's voice coming
out of a person who looks like they're dressed like
a man, like they dressed up. And I'm not trying
to be mean, I'm just pointing that out. So then,
did this in this last election play a big role? Oh?
It absolutely did play a role, there's no But it
had nothing to do with the trans issue. It had

(44:03):
all to do with coming for the kids. Okay, that
you came for the kids, And I want to remind
everybody that, by the way, And I think the trans
activist lunatics who push this stuff are starting to find
out from the gay community they don't want any part

(44:25):
of it either.

Speaker 21 (44:27):
Oh, when we look at the map of states that
ban this type of evidence based healthcare, we went from
zero states that had these bands in twenty twenty to
now more than half the country. So before the court tomorrow,
question is really a simple one as I see it,
it's really this is a lot that bans medical treatment
only when it is prescribed inconsistent with an individual sex.
Our argument is that that treats people differently because of

(44:49):
their sex, and therefore the court has to treat it
like all other forms of sex discrimination. And that's why
it's unconstitutional.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
No, no, because one is you're born with you're identifying
as one thing you're being born with is something else.
And when you talk about evidence, very little. Europe is
running away from all of this stuff. And you just
had the biggest study which I think is going to
hurt because that's going to totally be brought up today

(45:18):
in the Supream Court about gender affirming care when it
came to puberty blockers and all of this stuff. And
what happened. The lady who did this study wouldn't release
it because she thought it would be political, because it
didn't fit the narrative that they wanted it to fit.
So I call bs on that I do, and and

(45:42):
this this suspending of reality when it comes to you know, sports,
and you know, I know you say you're a woman,
but you have a wiener. This insanity. It's got to
end somewhere, and I think this is the right first step.
This isn't about you being an adult and making your
own decisions. This is about the kids. And I remind

(46:06):
everybody that's what this is about. So they'll have the
decision next year, which isn't too far away. But the
reality is during the question and answer portion of the
program today of the Supreme Court, you'll get a feel
of where this is going. And my assumption is that

(46:29):
they're going to uphold this in rule for Tennessee three two, three, five,

I have no idea what's going on in South Korea,
but Yun, who is the president, seems to have some

(47:56):
issues with everybody in South Korea who's not on his team,
which I think at this point in time includes the
entire country. How dare you declare marshal on us and
say that we're conspiring with North Korea.

Speaker 7 (48:10):
Une is right wing, he's conservative, and he is hugely
unpopular in South Korea, and he's been marred by controversy
and checks and balances against him.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
This seems to be a deeply.

Speaker 7 (48:28):
Political move that he's made to try and regain some control,
regain the upper hand. Now it may have backfired. There
is already a lot of anger towards Une based on
this gamble that he took.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
And it was a poor gamble. He's out by the
way he's going to be out. I mean they want
have gone. He's just not popular even amongst his own party.

Speaker 7 (48:49):
While tensions between North and South Korea have have had
this ebb and flow throughout recent times, the relationship has
been particularly fraught under Yune. And I think many different
nations across the world, including the States, will be watching
this very closely to see if there is more a
threatening rhetoric. And let's not forget in North Korea as well,

(49:10):
which will probably use this as a big propaganda tool
and try and humiliate Yun and their neighbors even further.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Une must be crazy, what that's not very nice, Jen.
So he accused actually essentially all of and I'll use
our politics here. He accused the House, right, so like
Mandarin House and Concus they have one hundred and ninety
of them. He accused them all, even his own party,
of conspiring with North Korea as well as being a

(49:42):
place where they're of ill repute and a drug debt.
So when he declared martial law of the one hundred
ninety members, all one hundred ninety members said, yeah, dude,
you are done. This is a no. We're going to
undeclare martial law. But by then the damage was done.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
President Yun came out with this late night address.

Speaker 7 (50:01):
He said he wanted to root out North Korean elements
in the country by implementing martial law. Now, he was
responding to domestic pressure that he's been under. His popularity
has been declining, He's had problems getting the national budget through.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
He's basically a lame duck president.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Lame duck, so what a bizarre thing to do. And
I don't think he's going to finish out his term.
I mean, think about that. He just goes out there
and declares martial law, and what I mean he can
get nothing through even his own parties, Like, we don't
want any part of a lot of what this guy's
doing here.

Speaker 22 (50:34):
Already, he's deeply unpopular. There are dozens of attempts to
impeach him and his close aids, which the president refused
in accordance to the Constitution.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
But this is just the beginning.

Speaker 22 (50:45):
We will likely see strong steps to drag him down
from power. All this ironically triggered by himself.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
All by himself. You want to see what a self
inflicted air looks like. It is that cat over there,
and I want to remind everybody North Korea's next door
and we have lots of military in the region, including
South Korea. Oh three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson's show, it's your Twitter, your Instagram,

(51:14):
and yes, your Blue Sky.

Speaker 23 (51:16):
It really depends on where you go look for information
and where you get sheep back from. If you're on Twitter,
I'm public enemy number one or at least top ten.
I'm on the FBI's most Twitter's Most Wanted list, But
anywhere else that's not the case. In real life. The
same people who might bash me and comment about.

Speaker 24 (51:32):
My glasses aren't saying anything to me face to face.
But if I go on Blue Sky, which I really
like now, it's a completely different tenor if I go
on Threads, it's it's completely different tenor all I have
to do is stay off of Twitter and life is grand.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
So it really depends on where you go look for information.
That is Mark Cuban there, and Mark, I'll be honest
with you, brother, I'm going to say this, you can't
stay off Twitter because Blue Sky's boring. Part of the
reason you are who you are with the laughter and
all the stuff is because you are one of these
people that is high energy and you like a bit
of the conflict, and you realize that when you go

(52:10):
to these other places. Well threads I've never really been on.
But when it comes to something like Blue Sky, which
I have several followers, and I don't know why, the
reality is, nothing's happening there. It's just all an echo
chamber of the left, and that bores you. It does
because you are just getting affirmation. And I say this

(52:31):
to the people on the right as well. Go over
there for as long as they'll have you, because eventually
they're going to ask you to leave. But affirmation it's
good once in a while. Information is more important, so
you can make up your own mind. And we don't
want the echo chambers. I don't want them. I'm reading

(52:52):
a great article about why you should talk to people
who you differ with politically. You absolutely should, because first
of all, you can't learn anything if you are being
fed the same thing over and over again, and your
belief is so strong that you don't even challenge your beliefs.

(53:14):
And I tell everybody on a daily basis, challenge your
beliefs and you're going to learn stuff that's new because
so often than not in the world of politics in
particular now, because everybody's got their niche audience, they go
to what happened? You're just feeding people what they want.
You're not giving them what they need. You're feeding them

(53:34):
what they want, and they want it, and they get
to a point where they no longer feel they need
anything else. And that's not good. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three act Chet Benson Show. Is
your Twitter? Your Instagram? Yes, I'm back on Instagram. Figured
it out yesterday and and can I say this, You're
a blue sky. If you'd like to go there and

(53:55):
check it out, you should, by the way, you should.
This is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 25 (53:58):
Show, The Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:31):

Speaker 26 (54:34):
Shocked, confused as to why a majority of white women
would vote for Trump. You know, why would they cut
off their nose to spite their face? Hello, they are
white women, that's like their thing. Okay. These white women
are so right wing that they believe that their whiteness
will comfort, like, will shield them from their womanhood. White
womanhood is presented as the ideal, as the ideal version

(54:55):
of being a woman, as there is this kind of
validation that you get from performing gender correctly, and these
white women doll that they're addicted to it. It's a
feeling that just it fills them with so much joy
it does.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
How do we get here? Who are you? This is why?
This is why? Right here, this is why Donald Trump,
because you're so obsessed with the insanity of gender and
race and that's all that you push and then loan behold,
you wake up and you go, well, how did we
get here? Wasn't hard to see how you got here? No,

(55:33):
it wasn't you got here because you push crazy things.
Even you know, we're gonna we're counting down the five
greatest Christmas Songs of all time, and we'll start that
tomorrow and then we're gonna do the five greatest Christmas
Movies of all time. Well, as I was going through
all this stuff, it's the fortieth anniversary of band Aid,

(55:54):
which is you know, feed the world. And as I'm
going through this there there, I'm watching all of these
documentaries and watching all of these interviews with Bob Geldoff,
who orchestrated it all, put it all together, and in
a lot of these things he even criticizes Trump, and
I'm like, dude, you're Irish, and you guys are criticizing
and on race and sexism stuff, and you guys obsession.

(56:17):
But the more you obsess over the stuff that doesn't matter,
the further you fall behind.

Speaker 26 (56:23):
So when patriarchy becomes more strict, pet you have seen
in the USA, you know, with the reappeal of abortion rights,
they lean further into patriarchy. Combine that with the economic
conditions as well, you know, unemployment, you know, things being
too expensive, women saying that they don't want to work.

Speaker 27 (56:38):
Because I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl. I
just don't want to work because I'm just a girl.
You're going to see more people leaning to writ wing ideologies.
These women believe themselves exceptional. They are constantly chasing this
ideal womanhood of being the perfect woman, which is obviously
a fantasy because men will always move the goalpost, you know,
until you are no longer really a per.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Who criticizes women the most women or men exactly. Well,
you guys are embolden because of Trump and bolden, I say,
in bold and continue on more from the ideal white woman.

Speaker 26 (57:12):
Hater that alongside with white women not seeing women of
color as real women or allies or anyone that they
could side with, because they can't really empathize with them
because they're so blum and racist, are just so racist
that it'll shield them from any solidarity with other women.
So yeah, that's why loads and loads of white women
voted for Trump.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Okay, that's why loads and loads of white women voted
for Trump. It wasn't because life is more expensive. It
wasn't because the frustration that people felt in America. It
wasn't because of any of those things. It was simply
because white women hate other women and they don't want

(57:55):
to work, which is weird because that's not really what's
happening here. But again, you would know more because you're
insane three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty
three at Chad bets to Joe, to Twitter, your Instagram,
all of the other things. Meanwhile, the DNC chair still
trying to figure out, how how do we lose again?

(58:18):
What did we miss on? We somewhere there was a disconnect.

Speaker 16 (58:22):
It would seem that the people of the United States,
in the most important place in our country, their own
kitchen table, feel like we've lost sight of them, and
they have lost sight of us. It is a stunning
reversal for a party that in modern times was the
party that stood for working people, that stood for an
economy that works for everyone. That instead people would think

(58:43):
that we were talking about things that had nothing to
do with their reality.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
That's right, We just played that right. That lady was
obsessed with all the things, and she goes and while
life is more expensive and a little bit tougher and
blah blah blah blah blah. You're focusing on things that
don't matter. Focus on the things that do. Life is
too damn expensive. People are frustrated. They're seeing a massive
amount of unfettered access to our borders and they weren't

(59:12):
happy with it. They're looking around the globe going, man,
crap looks like it's getting out of hand. And then
they go back to life's too damn expensive.

Speaker 16 (59:20):
It's my understanding that one of the more effective messages
we had at there and some of our candidates, notwithstanding
the difficulties at the top of the ticket, talked about
social security, talked about prescription drug costs, talked about the
high cost of living. Engage people in an economic conversation.
When we did that in places some states that Donald
Trump even won, we still had US senators in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona,

(59:44):
Nevada who prevailed. The common theme is that where our
candidates did well, it was because they were talking about
the issues that people cared about most at their kitchen tables.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Some of that's true, and some of it is there
were bad Senate and Congress people that were running. That's
the reality. Arizona's birthplace. Carrie Lake was never, never a
good candidate. She had her shot, she blew her shot up,
she doubled down on that over and over again, and

(01:00:14):
she lost again. And this was somebody who a few
years ago, right you know, they thought, you know, she
maybe the female version of Trump, and now she's nothing, nothing,
not nanny. Focus on the things that matter, get a
read for the room. If everybody in the room, and

(01:00:35):
by that I mean America or the place that you're representing,
is focusing on something we'll call it the economy, because
life's too expensive, telling them that life is great, and
you're just whining and moaning and telling them that the
evil is Donald Trump and he's a Nazi and he's

(01:00:56):
going to destroy the world. And that none of the
other stuff matters. Well, you're going to lose. Listen to
the people, Listen to the customers. They'll take it to
the sale. Speaking of the sale, are they gonna have
a fire like a fire sale for all the stuff

(01:01:16):
that the doge is going to crush through. We don't
need all this crap. Let's sell some of it. I
say that in Jess. But now it's getting closer and closer.
The dog is going to be a reality. And yes,
even some Democrats. Mister Moscow is here Democrats going, yeah,
you know what, I think we should look at all

(01:01:37):
this stuff. By the way, Bernie and Elon talking about
the waste when it comes to our military and the
ridiculous amount of stuff that they overspend on and how
they never hit their audits in any of their goals.
You know, it's out there. It's not just about oh,

(01:01:58):
the waste and silly program so like let's give cat
steroids and see what happens. It's not about it's about
all of it.

Speaker 19 (01:02:05):
What makes you think that if you think that d
vike Ramaswami and Elon Musk might be might be good
at this? I mean, obviously Tesla and the Musk's exploration
of space are impressive, but when it came to trimming
the fat out of Twitter, what he basically did is
just open the door for Nazis and Hamas. So you know,

(01:02:27):
that's a it might be a leaner operation at Twitter,
but it's also it also made Twitter kind of assessful.

Speaker 10 (01:02:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:02:33):
Look, I've been a.

Speaker 28 (01:02:33):
Leader on that, sending letters to Elon about all the
anti Semitic comments quite frankly that I get towards me
on Twitter. At the end of the day, I think
everyone in Congress is of the position that government isn't perfect, right,
So I'm looking for ways to improve government. I think
the American people expect us to find ways to improve government,
and in some places that may be shrinking the size
of government. By the way, that used to be a

(01:02:55):
Republican concept, but lately they want more government in bedrooms.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
And so I'm looking to have.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
This overall conversation.

Speaker 28 (01:03:02):
That's why I joined the caucus to go there and
meet with my colleagues across the aisle, and Democrats shouldn't
fear this conversation. I think there are ways to improve government,
and I'm looking to do that absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Now, let's unh. Let's undress some of that if you will.
First of all, free speech. It's ugly at times, it is,
and it's funny you bring up Twitter, but you never
talk about the insanity on the college campuses and the
anti Semitism and Nazi stuff that goes on there. So

(01:03:36):
we'll forgive you on that one, Jake Tapper. But remember
when they said, well, Eli got rid of all these people,
this thing's going to fall apart. It's gonna never work.
Everything's going it's not happened. Well, there's mean people on there. No,
there's free speech on there. There's free speech on there.

(01:03:58):
They're going to cut some stuff, some stuff they're not
gonna be able to cut some stuff they're gonna run into.
And I think we're gonna find out they're gonna come
out and go This bureaucracy is just it doesn't matter
what kind of scissors you have. But I think we're
gonna get our eyes open to a lot of stuff,
and I think that's just so damn important. I continue
to say this the dough to me, the most important

(01:04:22):
thing out of all of the stuff that I'm looking
forward to and maybe overall, is to see where the
fat how bad it's spent, the waste of bureaucracy, because
we're going to see it in ways we've never seen
it before. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Welcome that in your brain right now. Starting tomorrow, we're
gonna count down the five best Christmas songs of all
time and then starting next Wednesday, so we walk through
the final shows of the year. We're gonna count down
the five best Christmas movies of all time. This may
be on the list. By the way, this song debuted.

(01:07:20):
Are you ready for this? Do you want to feel old? Anyone?
Forty years ago? Yesterday? Forty years ago yesterday? Yeah. They
recorded in August of nineteen eighty four a little band
called Whem. It's interesting. I've one of the things we're

(01:07:42):
gonna do. We always do this where we talk about
band Aid. If you know another band Aid song, We're
gonna get into a little bit deeper. It's the fortieth
anniversary of band Aid and there's a new documentary out
about it, and it's got a bunch of behind the
scenes videos that people haven't seen. And one of the
things is George Michael's talking to Paully Yates and at

(01:08:03):
the time she was married to Bob Geldoff, and Paully
Yates was a big TV personality over there, and of
course Bob boomtown Rats and this guy did all this
stuff for band Aid. She's talking to George Michael and
he's like, yeah, when they asked me to do this,
I was pretty excited. He goes, but we have a
new Christmas song coming out. It's called Last Christmas. And

(01:08:23):
he sings a couple quick chords of the song and
he goes, and being number one at Christmas is a
huge deal in England, and he goes, I know we're
not going to be number one because of this, and
in fact they weren't because seven weeks it was at
number two because of band Aid. Speaking of Christmas, kids,
are you ready to spend and spend big?

Speaker 8 (01:08:47):
Apparently we're getting a lot more comfortable making purchases using
these Back in twenty nineteen, just thirty three percent of
purchases were made with the mobile device. This year fifty
seven percent.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
That's a lot we are comfortable on the old mobile
device aka the apps.

Speaker 8 (01:09:05):
There are so many deals still to be had. I mean,
the discounts may not be as deep as we saw
Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, but the deals are going to
be throughout December. Some hot sellers, toys, great deals on
some legos, Harry Potter, figurines, skincare sets, laptops and computers.
TVs big sellers this year, and it looks like the

(01:09:26):
big screen TVs are back seventy five inch eighty five
inch TVs selling really really well this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
It's because you got so we've had Giving Tuesday, yesterday
we had Cyber Monday, and then of course last week
we had Black Friday, and then we're heading towards small
business Saturday. And one of the things we usually once
a year we have a guy on who talks about
how cheap life is for certain things and how expensive
life is for others. And one of those things we

(01:09:53):
always talk about is stuff that thirty years ago, forty
years ago, if your TV broke was on the on
the fritz, as they would say, you would take it
in and get it fixed. And those things weighed eight
hundred pounds because they're made of oak and real giant glass.
Now you got an eighty five inch TV that cost
one hundred dollars and it breaks, you like, throw it away.

(01:10:15):
We'll go get a new one right now because we're
TV shopping and let you in on a little something
a little bit later. Uh. But you know, we got
a new place and we've been out looking, uh because
literally we just moved. And one of the things that
we're always joking about is like, how cheap stuff is,
And it's crazy how cheap things are, especially TVs. It's

(01:10:41):
not like you want one hundred and forty inch how
much it's a nickel? Oh, I don't know if that's
a How do you make money on that? We don't.
I bet you do one of the other things though.
This time of year, the grenches out, porch pirates, porch pirates.
Now they've got something new for the porch pirates who

(01:11:02):
come and steal and you lose your stuff. Insurance.

Speaker 8 (01:11:05):
There is a startup company called porch Pals now selling
insurance for those you know, victimized bags. It's like under
and twenty dollars a year for two thousand dollars worth
of coverage.

Speaker 4 (01:11:16):
But you know, it's not fool proof.

Speaker 8 (01:11:17):
It's not going to stop them from taking the package
at your door. But at least it's one other way
that we can sort of protect our packages.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
You know what stops them a gun, giant robot warning,
varding warning. I do like this time of year when
they have those videos on the ring doorbell where somebody
goes to steal your stuff and you've put inside there
I don't know, a mamba or whatever and it explodes

(01:11:45):
and people freak out that what's deaths? You don't see
porch pirates and I don't know certain parts of the
Middle East. That's all I'm saying, What are you doing
with that? Nothing? Chat three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show to Twitter.
You're in a lot of the other stuff coming up
in our three of the program, or Buddy, Jimkennedy's going

(01:12:05):
to join the program, and the reason is simple. We
talk politics with Jim is brain a little bit about
obviously the chaos of California's you know, Gavin Newsom and
the fight against Donald Trump. But one of the other
things I'm going to pick his brain about and I
wanted to him on, is the House races aren't done yet,

(01:12:25):
and California is the key to that. Well, one is
kind of done, maybe sort of. Nobody's conceded, but when
you hear these crazy things that are happening, they're still
counting votes in California, and oddly enough, the Republican who
was winning House now magically lost by like one hundred votes.

(01:12:46):
We will discuss that a plenty of other things, including
little what's trending as well. It is The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
We've got some breaking news and crazy Brian Thompson has
been shot. Dad, you don't know who he is. He
is the CEO of United Healthcare, and by all accounts,
they're saying it looks like it was a targeted attack.
He was in New York at an investors conference and

(01:13:45):
somebody I guess, I guess his schedule was pretty well
known and didn't have anything going on. I think he
went to breakfast or something. I mean, again, this is all,
you know, kind of happening rather quickly, and somebody was
waiting and ambushed him. And there's by all accounts, it
looks like it was some sort of targeted attack. I
don't know if somebody was mad at United health Care,
if somebody was mad at Brian Thompson, or if somebody

(01:14:07):
I don't know any of that. Those those things are
we're gonna find out in the coming few hours. But crazy,
and think about that. Man. You're you're just going about
your day. You're the CEO, you're fifty years old, You've
got the world in front of you. You think you know,
you're you're You're the CEO of one of the most
powerful insurance companies on the planets and just going about

(01:14:30):
your business and the next thing you know, somebody shoots
you dead. Don't know why. Again, We'll find out in
the coming you know, hours, I'm sure and days, but
absolutely insane three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter?
Tweet at his text the program. Meanwhile, Trump trying to

(01:14:53):
figure out what to do with old Uh, He's get there,
heg seth. I screw his name up all the time.
I'm gonna learn how to say it, and then he's
not going to be there, because that's what I'm predicting
this morning.

Speaker 29 (01:15:03):
Sources tell ABC News the President elect is considering other
options for the job, including Iowa Senator Jony Ernst, Tennessee
Senator Bill Haggerty, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a one
time primary rival who is now lavishing praise on Trump
and his cabinet picks.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
Yeah, I think it's going to be Desantus. And it's funny.
Today I was talking to British Anthey's like, why would
he said, Well, he's got everything you need for swalls
in the military. He's got a really good record. He's
he he wants to go in and get out the
woke stuff done. And quite frankly, while he won't be
the sledgehammer, he will be the scalpel. I think that
can do even more inside of the Pentagon and for

(01:15:41):
the defense. So but you're the governor, Yeah, you are
the governor, but you have your eyes on a bigger prize.
And DC's always been that and this is a big deal.

Speaker 29 (01:15:51):
Trump's advisors have said the president elect still backs Pete,
Hegsap to be his defense secretary and wants him to
keep fighting. But it comes, as sources tell Abiss, a
growing number of senators have signaled they are not behind
the nominee.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Yeah, there's a lot of issues out there, there is
with him, and how many of them are real, how
many of them aren't real, I don't know. But you're
at a point now where you should be able to
defend yourself. But you know, what's the old adage, if
there's smoke, there's fire, and right now it feels like

(01:16:29):
there's a lot of smoke, and so we'll see what
takes place. He should have his day, if you will
in front of the Senate if it gets that far.
But you've already got people, even the likes of Lindsey
Graham and several others, who've come out and said this
is concerning, and you want to get stuff through. At
the end of the day, that's your goal as the

(01:16:50):
president of the United States to get this stuff through
your people. So when you get to that position where
you land on the January twentieth, you hit the ground running,
and you're always gonna have some controversial picks and whatnot.
I just this is gonna be a very interesting thing.

(01:17:13):
I'm interested to see the way that this thing plays
itself out because several of you have chimed in and said, no,
Beat needs to stay. He's everything that we need and
that Magan needs. And I said this, and I'll continue
to say this, It's not about you, not about Trump.
It's about those senators. And senators aren't congress people. Congress

(01:17:36):
people can be moved much easier than senators can, and
that's something that he has got to figure out. Trump,
can we move these people or is there more there there.
That's the other part of it too. When I've talked
to my people and said the well, now the transition team.
They were shocked by some of the allegations. They knew

(01:17:59):
one thing, but there's far more that's coming out, and
they're at the point now where if there's one more thing,
I think they're gonna ask him to step aside. We'll see,
we'll see immigration big deal. You know that. I know that,
ladies and gentlemen. Mayor Adams not happy. Also, I think,
to be honest with you, guys, hoping for a pardon

(01:18:21):
when Trump becomes president of the United States, but he
has been consistently pissed about the way that the city
has had to take on so much when it comes
to immigration, not thrilled by the nightmare that immigration is
and is saying. So this is on the heels of
Kathy Hokl the governor coming out saying, you commit a

(01:18:42):
crime here and you're not here legally, or you are
here legally and you commit a violent crime, meaning you're
here for asylum and you commit a crime, you're gone.

Speaker 30 (01:18:53):
Those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers,
raping innocent people, have been a harm to our our country.
I want to sit down and hit a plan on
how we're going to address them. Those are the people
I am talking about. And I would love to sit
down with the Borders Are and hear his thoughts on
how we're going to address those who are harming our citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
Yeah, borders Are. We talked about how many people are
there that are either through the asylum process or there
illegally that they know of who've committed a crime and
or wanted for something and or have committed crime elsewhere,
didn't come to United States America using a false name

(01:19:38):
whatever it is, and they found out. I mean, there's
so much and people are pissed, and it's also the
money side of things. Good God, I've got this. I'm
gonna try to get to this lady who was in
Chicago yesterday who lost her I mean, she just lost
it on the mayor and everybody there. It is incredible.

(01:19:59):
Or from mister Adams to hearing what their plan is
to deport some of these folks, and you think the city,
in some circumstances should cooperate with that. You know what's interesting.

Speaker 30 (01:20:09):
I want you to all go back and google Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama. Google what they said about those
who commit crimes in our city. They said, those who
commit crimes, need to get out right away.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
That was their position.

Speaker 30 (01:20:23):
So this is not a new position, you know, because
in the state, in the era of cancel culture, no
one's afraid to be honest about the truth. Well, cancel me,
because I'm going to protect the people of the city.

Speaker 31 (01:20:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Go listen to how they used to talk compared to today,
and it's totally different. People are frustrated, people are seeing
what they're getting. Case in point, this lady in Chicago.
She's more than just a little bit pissed by all
the things that are happening all the services. Now they're
talking about doing something crazy like spending money that they
don't have to protect people that some cases shouldn't even

(01:21:01):
be in the country.

Speaker 31 (01:21:02):
You will not allow Trump to come in here and
get these illegals.

Speaker 4 (01:21:07):
Yeah, you can smile.

Speaker 31 (01:21:08):
We're in a billion dollar deficit and you spent half
of our moneys, half of that only legals. You campaign,
you campaign and double down that you would not raise
property taxes.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
I ain't gonna do that.

Speaker 31 (01:21:22):
You campaigned, went around doing that, and here we are
right now. You wanted to raise our tax is three
hundred million. They shot it down. Now we're back here
for one hundred and fifty million. Okay, see this is
what we're asking now. Some of y'all said, y'all wanting
to go to jail for it. Trump, Tom Homan, make

(01:21:42):
Axemple right here first, Please come here first, because you
know what we're gonna help you.

Speaker 16 (01:21:47):
We wanted for rid you, we want up for rip
hold on a second, stupford time, stubborn time.

Speaker 32 (01:21:54):
Just a second, just a second, stubborn time zever time.

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
Now, they weren't done yet, so they stopped your time
and they said, look, you know, bad language, stuff like that.
Let's let's leave that to the side. And this is
the lady in Chicago a city council meeting, not happy
because they're talking about raising more taxes, doing all this
kind of stuff so they can do what they're in deficit.
But they want to spend that money to do what
to protect people, to give them services. Oh, she wasn't finished.

(01:22:21):
She took a deep breath. Lady, the runway is yours.

Speaker 31 (01:22:26):
You said you're gonna spend our tax dollars to take
Trump to court to protect these illegals if they trying
to come and go yo here and go district.

Speaker 4 (01:22:36):
And then you said they all of y'all.

Speaker 5 (01:22:38):
And caho's what each other to do with.

Speaker 31 (01:22:40):
Okay, So now we're about to make y'all famous. We're
gonna let all y'all con stitions know who y'all bratting
for that y'all wouldn't to spend our tax dollars to
protect illegals and to get them legal services.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
So that's what we're doing. That's cool because we're about.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
To make all of y'all all them is famous.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
Chicago read we're not.

Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
Put flip Chicago read we not playing. People are angry
and pissed when people say why Trump things like that,
When people say why Trump? That right there is a

(01:23:19):
perfect example of this administration has allowed absolute, wide open
access to the border for anybody. And their solution was
we've got a bipartisan bill that Trump killed. Yeah, but
that didn't fix the amount of people that were coming here.

(01:23:39):
That didn't fix the assignment process. The reason the border
patrol had any way, shape or form saying it's an
okay deal is because it gave them some more help.
That help, essentially was help for paperwork, not in stopping
and or enforcing. People are pissed. We're about turned Chicago Red.

Speaker 30 (01:26:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
I did not. South Korea President an idiot. I don't
know what he tried to do yesterday. I got an idea.
I'm going to declare martial law. Get ready for this.
Nobody wants it. I'm gonna tell everybody that the entire
group of people is being controlled by North Korea and
it's a drug den. How's that gonna go? It? Didn't

(01:26:38):
talk a little bit more about that Pete hexcith Hexath.
I don't know, don't need to know his name. By
all accounts, it looks like he's on his way out,
never having a chance to lead the defense side because
who may be coming in. Yes, you know him and

(01:26:58):
I know him simply as rund sanctimonious. It's possible. The
voice Taylor Swift Hunter Biden Daniel Penny talked about that
golden at bat. We should talk a little bit about that.
It's interesting. So what the Major League Baseball is doing

(01:27:19):
everything to try to hip up the game a little bit,
get people excited. They've tossed this idea out there. I
think it's one of those things. Was like, well, let's
the same if it works, like the NFL is different.
NFL's like, I got a great idea, Good, let's put
it in this weekend.

Speaker 13 (01:27:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
They're quick with this where major League Baseball's very old schools, like,
I've got an idea, Let's run it by a lot
of people. We'll talk about it. People will tell us
all kinds of things and will never act upon it. This, though,
is entries called golden at bat where one time during
the game, without replacing a player, pinch hitter. So you

(01:27:56):
might have a guy that you don't want to lose him.
But you got a guy on the bench, right, Matt Suey,
and you may say to him, go, hey, use the
golden at bat, which means he can come up and
hit at any point during the game, even if it's
not his turn or he's not in the game, and
nobody has to be taken out. So that's what they're

(01:28:17):
tossing around, the idea for the golden at bat. Now,
let's head over to Twitter, NBA Cup, DeSantis Yokovic, MAVs,
Clemson football, all trending in the magical world of Twitter.
Pete Hexith finally learned his name. Now he's going away, jeez.

(01:28:39):
And then on to Google South Korea, eminem Kendrick Lamar
to our Spotify rap asteroid hitting Earth. Well, that doesn't
sound good. Is it possible? Anything is possible? China bans exports.

Speaker 13 (01:28:54):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Jay Simpson So apparently a former bodyguard, like he needs
a body guard, right, I think that guy's great with knives.
Said that he had some sort of recording where there
was a confession, and so the police went through it
and they're like, there's nothing here. You just wanted to
trend on Google and Jennifer Tilly she's trending. You don't

(01:29:17):
know who she is. She plays Bonnie in Family Guy.
She's an actress. She's on I Think the Real Housewives
and they got to talking about finances and her husband,
a former husband. She makes about a million bucks a
year playing poker. She trusted on a poker player snactress,

(01:29:38):
but a vast majority of her money comes from The Simpsons.
She's on the Simpsons and Family Guy. No, her husband,
they were together for ten years, married for seven. It's
a guy named Sam Simon created the Simpsons. One of them,
one of the people are created. And she says, look,
we never thought, you know, it was gonna be forever

(01:30:01):
when the Simpsons. This was early on when Simpsons on.
So she got a piece of the Simpsons in perfectuity.
So she says, every day I wake up and I
thank you, Thank you Sam. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:07):

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
It is by this slimmest margin that the Republicans have
the House, and in California they're still counting votes. We
said we'd be here all the way with our buddy
Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. Now JIMC
eight thirteen. According to everybody has wrapped up. Now, one's
not conceding the other, one's claiming victory. The reality is

(01:31:33):
is why in God's name to this takes so long?
And please tell me that we didn't see some shenanigans here?

Speaker 18 (01:31:43):
Oh well, you know, Chad, it is California. We always
do things bigger up here. We take longer to do things.
We're the most technologically advanced state in the Union, and
we take those over thirty days account ballots for some
reason which I have no idea why, and no one
I know knows why. It seems like they just have
to count ballot until they find the right amount for
a Democrat to win, which, unfortunately, may is what happened here.

(01:32:05):
Shenanigans hard to say. California does their shenanigans very classy
and very stylishly, so they're really hard to detect, unfortunately.
But it is very interesting how many Republicans lead on
election night and even maybe even a week after the election,
that by the end of the three or four weeks
when they're still counting ballots in California are now losing

(01:32:27):
their election. One example was Michelle Steele in her district
CAA forty seven. There were something like thirty seven updates.
She won one of the thirty seven updates, every one
of those went of the other thirty six went against her,
which I'm not a mathematician, but that seems pretty statistically
impossible that she was losing every update for thirty six

(01:32:48):
out of thirty seven. That's kind of the streak. I
want to go down and put on a Roulette wheel
or or a craps table if I'm going to be
betting on it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
Yeah, it's crazy. Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Andsute Public
Policy Research. So looking at this gym SO CAA thirteen,
essentially it's like Fresno, Modesto up the Stockton, little bit
of San Jose and stuff. It's less than eight hundred
thousand people. Tell me again why it took a solid
month to count that many people. Was it one person

(01:33:18):
who basically can work from eight to three and that
was it?

Speaker 18 (01:33:22):
Sounds like they are government workers. It is a very
good question. California is is abys well at this they are.
I mean, we've become a national joke as far as
its counting. And I think they have another week to
actually declare the election officials like.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
The thirteenth, Right, isn't it the thirteenth?

Speaker 18 (01:33:37):
Yeah, it's a tenth of the thirteenth. I couldn't remember
which one it is. That until the elections are certified.
So yeah, that's absolutely ridiculous. On how it's going. They've
been pulling back. They've been crying ballots, which means ballots
that have questionable signatures. They've been going out. Nancy Pelosi's daughter,
Christine Pelosi is when we've been down there with teams
of people that are running all over the counties trying

(01:33:58):
to get those ballots care saying this is your signature,
please verify it, whether they're actually legitimate or not, we
don't know, but that's what's going on. This happens in
California when you have ballot harvesting also, which needs to
go away. California. No voter ID and ballot harvesting equals
the lots of potential for shenanigans to go on that
are not really kosher.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
No, it's not talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Insto of
Public Policy Research. He's with us through all things California
crazy and everything else. All right, First, before we get
to Gaven Newsom, You, my good friend, were not shocked
by the pardoning, were you? Because my theory is the
thing with Hunter Biden is simply this, he was always
going to get a pardon. Trump's always going to get

(01:34:40):
a pardon. All these things were in the cards. This is,
unfortunately the ugly side of the DOJ politics and all
this stuff that people go through. The reality is, though
I have said this from Jump, he pardoned him as
an f you to the establishment, DNC and all those
people out there who he feels abandoned him.

Speaker 18 (01:35:00):
No, I am not surprised. I think you and I
might have talked about this off the air. A couple
of months ago that the probability. And I don't necessarily
blame him. It's his son, it's his only son at
this point, and I can understand why Joe Biden would
do it. I just find it interesting that they, that
the left and all of their media talking heads have
been so vehement about no, he would not do this,

(01:35:21):
he won't do this. He's a man of honor, he
would not do this before, and then all of a sudden, Oh, well.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
He's doing it.

Speaker 18 (01:35:26):
That's great that he's doing it. So no, I'm not
surprised by it. It is interesting to see what will
happen because he has now given up his right to
the Fifth Amendment by partoning him, so he has no
reason to basically not testify. A hunter, that is, has
the reason to not testify because he cannot self incriminate
himself because he has been parton of any potential acts

(01:35:47):
for that ten year period. I've never heard of a
ten year partner.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
Nobody even brought it up there like this is unheard of.
But you remember, Jim, Let's go back to when they
tried to do the original deal. There was a lead
deal for the gun. Do you remember that the judge
said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa on a page that
it wasn't supposed to be on. There was blanket immunity
for ten years for all things. And she said, no,

(01:36:11):
this isn't happening in my courtroom, and then it fell apart.

Speaker 18 (01:36:15):
Yeah, the judge was surprised by it because it's like
it came in late or something. And yet exactly what
she said, she said, no way, I can't sign up
with this. You know, I would not be responsible for
me as a judge to sign off on this. So no,
nice try, guys, but that's not happening. So you do
you want to talk it out or do you want
to go to trial over it? So yeah, no, this
whole thing has been fishy since day one. Remember a

(01:36:36):
lot of the charges that he could have been charged
with originally they played the clock out on. They ran
the clock out on those under the statue of limitation,
so those went away also, So what he came down
with was a fairly minor thing. It's hilarious with the
Left and there, in their total anti gun stance, are
outraged that that one of somebody would be charged with
a gun crime for leaving a gun behind near a

(01:36:59):
school in a trash can or any could any kid
walking by could have picked it up. And the fact
that he lied on a gun application, because we know
how much the left loves background checks to be conducted
at all in any place where a gun is sold.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
Yeah, And I was telling people, Everyone's like, well, you know,
it was funny listening to him talk about the tax thing. Well,
you know, if you don't pay your taxes, you pay
a penalty, and then you you know, that's what happens.
He didn't not pay his taxes, he tried to evade,
he lied, he put things on there and tried to

(01:37:33):
claim things. I mean, it wasn't about not paying your taxes,
because a lot of small businesses across the country, a
lot of people, they don't pay their taxes for years,
they catch up, they pay a penalty. The irs is
like all right, fine, this was something totally different. There
was all kinds of shenanigans in this, as you'd like
to say, so I'm not surprised about it either. Plus,
he's eighty two. He doesn't want to see his son
in jail for ten years, especially if maybe he was

(01:37:54):
involved in something. And those last years of your life
watching your son in jail is not a cool thing.
Talking to Jim Kennedy answered Public Policy Research. All right, California,
as we know it is crazy. Jim, Gavin Newsom and
what's his name, Bonta, they're already out there going, Okay,
here's the deal. We're going to do everything we can
to make sure that we protect everybody that her illegally,

(01:38:17):
that we sue him for every climate change thing he's done.
That's going to be our sole goal. We will be
the lead in the resistance.

Speaker 18 (01:38:24):
Yep, absolutely, I think this is I think Gavin Newsom
his thought is seeing this as his strategy to the
twenty twenty eight Democratic primary and to the nomination. He
thinks that if he could be the leader of the resistance,
the Democrats will rally around him, even though he will
not be able to explain his failed California policies, because
when he leaves in twenty twenty six, California will be

(01:38:46):
a failed state with a large budget dev with a
large budget deficit. And he wants right now, fifty million
dollars to as you said, to basically fight Trump in
the courts, and twenty five million for a fund to
for illegal immigration court costs. They want to go into
court as the advocates for the illegal aliens to fight
any deportation hearings. Now, this is interesting because we California

(01:39:10):
already spent somewhere run one hundred and twenty to one
hundred and forty million dollars in Trump's first tenure as
president fighting the law fighting them. So this is just
a drop in the bucket in a state that's got
a thirty billion dollar or so deficit and will probably
run a fifty billion dollars so deficit in fiscal twenty
twenty five. So we're blowing more money that we don't

(01:39:32):
have on basically projects for Gavin and for Rall BoNT
And to go out and raise their political futures. It's
absolutely ridiculous, but considering the legislature's three quarters Democrat, they'll
probably pass without a problem and probably with very little,
with very little discussion.

Speaker 2 (01:39:48):
It is crazy talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute Public
Policy Research, as we discussed this lunacy, and it is
lunacy because you know, I heard Bonta the other day
and he's talking to you know, he's just blowing and
just doing what he does and he's doing when you're
the fifth lords'est economy. I'm fifty three. I say it
every time we were the fifth or sixth largest economy
when I was a child. You didn't come in there

(01:40:10):
gavin everybody else and they were forty fifth and you
took them to fifth. It didn't happen. You maintained and
that was it. And you're losing people that matter, left,
right and center. But he also talked about, you know,
what they're going to do for people that are here
illegally or lee. I mean, my thing is this, Why
would you protect people that are in jail for crimes.

(01:40:31):
Why would you protect people that are getaways? You know,
people have snuck in and not even gone through the port.
Why would you protect people that are known terrorist and
or have committed crimes in other parts of the world
and have come here in the light. Why would you
do that?

Speaker 18 (01:40:46):
It's absolutely ridiculous. It makes no sense. They're going to basically,
you know, they're going to basically find the one or
two cases where you've got, you know, a docker child
with a grandmother who's been there for fifty years, who's
kind of stayed under the radar, and maybe a parent
that's a mixed meriatge. We're a marriage where one person
is a citizen and one isn't illegal, and they're going

(01:41:08):
to use that as their quintessential, you know, test case
that they're going to go out there and get all
this publicity for. And Gavin thinks he's going to win
all of the admiration of the Democrats for fighting for
these people. But it's just ridiculous. It's not going to
bode well. The thing it's interesting is because California, while
it's clearly never clearly it's not a red state, it
became less dark blue in this election by some very

(01:41:30):
substantial numbers, maybe six to eight to ten percent, depending
upon what part of California you're talking about. And this
is not going He's going against the trend. Now he's
turned out, he has to leave in twenty twenty six.
And whether he's going to go fight for a Senate
seat or not, or whether he's going to look for,
you know, for some other thing to do, or he's
just going to basically leave and immediately start running for president,

(01:41:52):
I don't know. But he's not going to have a
great admitting he's not going to have a great record
to run on. So I don't really know what he
thinks he's going to do in the two years to
clean up that record. I thought I thought he decided
to clean it up when he started going after some
of the homeless originally an earlier part of the year,
in August or so, he started to really crack down
hard in the homeless, but then asked as as as

(01:42:14):
as Kamala started failing and it came to parent Trump
was going to win, he just kind of gave up
that and just doubled down on the wokenness and decided
just to go back to being you know, I'm the
head of the Reproductive Rights Commission, and I'm going to
make sure anyone who wants an abortion in California you
can get it. And we're going to go after Donald
Trump now that he's been elected president and be the
leader of the resistance. So I just don't know where

(01:42:35):
he thinks this is going to win for him. This
is not the kind of thing that's going to play
well in Iowa or in Indiana against moderates and against independence.
So I don't know what he's thinking. I don't think
he's smart enough to know that he doesn't live in
a bubble. But sometimes I really wonder because this does
not seem like a good career decision for him going forward.

Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
I don't think no, indeed, my man, Jim Kennedy Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research, always good to have you
on follow him at righty, Jim Brother, we'll talk to
you later. Thanks so much, Thanks Chat. I love talking
to Jim, and I love how California is still counting votes.
It was eight hundred thousand people in that area. Not
all of them voted. I don't care if you have
one person counting at some point in time. Get it done. Oh, Chat,

Speaker 12 (01:44:15):
Shoe serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:44:29):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:44:30):
We've got Disney controversy. Oh yeah, you better settle your
butt down. Mickey Mouse, that's your real name. Yesterday debuted
the trailer for the upcoming twenty twenty five Snow White
and the seven something or others. Not quite sure. Don't

(01:44:50):
want to offend anybody, dwarfs, The Queen is evil, ems
free into the woods.

Speaker 13 (01:45:01):
Hello, is there anybody here?

Speaker 2 (01:45:21):
It's a human?

Speaker 3 (01:45:21):
What did you think I was?

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
Nothing goes in theaters next year. A trailer voice. So
that is snow White. Now the controversy, there's lots of it,
first of all, who they cast as snow White, because

(01:45:43):
the whole thing about Snow White is she has what
she has white skinned? Oh yeah, you forgot about them.
And then the other parts of the controversy that go
with it, having to do with the fact that dwarfs
little folk, little folk? Do you remember them, tiny people,
whatever you want to call them. Don't use that, don't you. Oh,
I'm not going to say that. So when this movie

(01:46:05):
was first being bantied about they're going to do this,
that and the other, and who they're casting, Peter Dinklage,
who is easily the biggest of the little people when
it comes to acting, came out, was on Mark Maron's
podcast and said this, that was a little.

Speaker 14 (01:46:18):
Taken back by the very very they're very proud to
cast a Latino actress as snow White. Yeah, but you're
still telling the story of snow snow White.

Speaker 1 (01:46:28):
Yeah, seven dwarfs.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
Sure, take a step back.

Speaker 14 (01:46:32):
And look at what you're doing there. Yeah, I know
it makes no sense to me, but so be You're
progressive in one way, and then but you're still making
that backward oh story about seven dwarves living in a cave.

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
Forget what the you're doing man well, not employing little
people to act in the g D movie, you dumbass,
is what people said. Disney came out and said, we
looked and we talked, and we didn't want I don't
offend anybody, and we started talking and we talked to
little people. Well we only talked to Peter. We just
heard the podcast and we thought we'd make a change,

(01:47:07):
and oh my god, we decided, no little people. It's CGI.
It's CG freaking I. For the dwarfs. They don't live
in a cave. They have a house. Secondly, it's CG
freaking I. They're real, there are real little people. They
wouldn't even cast little people in the new Willie Walker movie.

(01:47:29):
They made you Grant the little person who's the Ouphloopa.
So you're thinking, well, they cast no little people. There
was one to play one voice. The other voices are
just regular actors. You took jobs away from little people
being woke, your dumbass, and the movie already looks just awful. Indeed,

(01:47:51):
I will point that out, but it just made me
laugh because I thought, you're so you eliminated jobs for
little people dwarfs, which is a thing dwarf ism because
you didn't want to offend anybody, so instead of giving

(01:48:12):
people jobs and work, you decided to not give them jobs.
And then you didn't even cast them as the voices.
Oh boy, good god. We can't end it like this,
We can't. We got to end it with something good,
ladies and gentlemen. It's that portion of the day when
we end the program with the Man, the Myth, the Legend.
You know who I'm talking about, And no, it's time

(01:48:33):
for the Gary puc moment of the day.

Speaker 32 (01:48:38):
Hey, this is the first time I wore my Santa
hat this December, so as you can see, it's a
bit different style.

Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
But that's me and guess who else it is.

Speaker 32 (01:48:47):
It's you, all your people hearing me. Have your own style,
your own beautiful way, purpose of life, your page, when
you walk, your page, when you run, how you drive
your car, and everything is capable of doing by you
because you simply know how to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
Okay, well that ended abruptly. But you know what, as
we expect from Uncle Gary, some more words of wisdom
right there than the Man, the Myth, the Legend. Gary Busey.
Solid fun show today, as always, we got you over
the hop you have a blessed rest.

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
Of your day.

Speaker 2 (01:49:20):
We'll do it again tomorrow as always, Night night Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:25):
