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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yesterday, Luis g made his first real court appearance, and
he was defiant. He was very defiant as they took
him out his orange jumpsuit. He was not happy about
the situation.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
And insult he.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Experience.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
That's right, everybody's out of touch. So they took him
on in. He's got the whole thing in there, and
the crowd of course surrounding him. It's become one of
those kind of celebrity court cases. And we haven't eve
gotten to the actual court case itself, but there's always
one in the.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Crowd, Mario.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Luis, It's me Mario. Chad So makes his first court appearance,
gets no bond. And remember he's not charged with murder
in Pennsylvania, so he got no bond there, and the
reason and theory he should have gotten a bond had

(01:27):
there not been a capital offense in another state. So
they decided not to even is you know. Attorney said, look,
I don't care if it was ten billion dollars, you
should have at least given him an opportunity for bond.
Speaking of his attorney, his name is Thomas Dickey. He
came out afterwards and addressed the crowd, and the crowds
are growing by the way, and he to you that
the reason.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
Didn't ask from me, I would I would not ever
indicate anything. He indicated the man I can't get into
life as you worry. Well, again, I'm not going to
speculate on that, but I said.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Use your common sense.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
If you were, if you were in a jail or
confined in a state where supposedly there's rumors going around
you're gonna be charged with murder, use your common sense.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Well you can about your client?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
What's that?

Speaker 7 (02:12):
What can you tell us about.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Your probably not a whole lot.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
What were your first impressions of him whenever you've met
with him or spoke with him to.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
The first I'm not like the airplane movie said hey,
give us your impression. The guy says, I don't do impression,
So I wasn't looking for impressions. What I was trying
to do was form.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
A bond with my client.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
I want him to trust me, and I want him
to be confident that I'm here for him. And I
feel that I'm very pleased how that went.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
By the way. The minute that your lawyer can do
and recall like that airplane movies You're like, I got
a winner. This guy's demand I know it. So what's
gonna happen from here? Well, interestingly, now if he's going
to fight extradition, but his lawyer, you know, his lawyer

(03:08):
is doing what lawyers should do. He's given interviews in
this situation, high profile case, he's giving interviews. He's making
the case for his client the best that he possibly can.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
But my client hasn't faced any actual criminal charges from
New York yet, so he hasn't had an opportunity to
make any plea. My anticipation is going to be when
and if that happens, he's going to plead not guilty.
I mean, we've seen no evidence. We've seen nothing. And
I was reminding people today about your talk about America

(03:42):
a little bit and what wonderful some wonderful things about
this country and particularly in the criminal justice system.

Speaker 8 (03:49):
And that's the presumption of innocence.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
And I don't want people to jump to, you know,
these prejudgment things, because nobody would ever want that if
they were accused of one of their loved ones recused
and was the big hearing today.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I haven't seen any evidence yet.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
I don't even know if this is.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Him or whatever.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
So we're we're going to test those waters and give
the government a chance to bring some evidence.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
For and that's what you do. Here's the question, did
he start a conversation? Is his mission? If it was
to be a mission about healthcare and the industry itself,
If that was his mission, mission accomplished? Isn't it kind

(04:33):
of mission accomplished? We're talking about it in ways we
haven't in many years. We're having serious conversations about it. Now.
It doesn't mean it's going to last. But if that
was his goal, did that not happen again? How long

(04:57):
it lasts and whether or not there'll be big changes,
I couldn't tell you. But I go back to what
Governor Abbot did. Governor Abbot, there he is in Texas
looking around, going hmmm, all of these sanctuary cities talk
about all this great stuff that they would do to
protect people that are here, that they would be opening

(05:19):
and welcoming, and that they would take them in to
their bosoms, people that have come here illegally. Well, let's
give him a chance to do so. And what started
out as a symbol and somewhat of a political you know,
kind of look at me, you know, on the stage,
we're having fun woo kind of political entertainment. I'm going

(05:40):
to send some stuff some people over here and some
people over there. You guys can deal with them. Turned
into a oh my god, we got a problem, turned
into a national conversation, turned into Trump forty seven. Now,
what this guy did was awful and horrible, and we
can all understand that. But a lot of times about
starting a conversation. If that was his goal. Mission accomplished. Now,

(06:04):
like I said, how long it lasts, I couldn't tell
you because you're going up against a behemoth. You're going
up against a monster in the lobbying groups and the
healthcare industry. So does it last, you know, the conversation

(06:25):
for several weeks, several days, several hours. Well, I think
it's going to go a little bit longer than that.
And I think you've got people asking some serious questions,
people that haven't asked questions before, people who are upset
on the right as well as upset on the left,
not just one side of it. And I also think

(06:46):
it brings Obamacare back into the spotlight and the expense
of Obamacare and how Bombacare shot the prices up and
this is what happens when you look at ginormous corporations
who get to go, hey, you guys, you want to
craft Obamacare with us, and the corporation is like, oh boy,
that'd be fun. Yeah, you guys come in and help
us write it and do all that stuff. We'll give

(07:07):
you business guaranteed. And if you go back and look
at the numbers when Obamacare took off and started, and
the explosion of cost and this insanity that we're dealing
with right now, it's a conversation that people need to have.
It's a conversation we all want to have, and I
talk about it all the time. It is frustrating. So

(07:33):
if this was his goal, he could say mission accomplished.
Now that being said, his other goal was to get away.
That is not accomplished. We know that the other side
of this has some and we've talked about the folk
hero status. We've talked about the fact that there is

(07:56):
this curiosity with them, and we're going to get into
curiosity weird stuff in a little bit with what's going
on in Guyana Jonestown best way to describe that. But
this guy's a sex symbol. We have this weird morbid
curiosity with famous people, even infamous people. O Jay didn't

(08:17):
go without dates. I'm here to tell you that if
Charles Manson would have gotten out, he would have had
a date day one. There are people that are murderers,
serial killers who are married and women send them all
kinds of letters all the time. We have this weird thing.
This guy though, unlike a lot of those other guys,

(08:39):
he's way different because he's got a look. He has
got a that smoldering, you know kind of look. It is.
It's think little ted bundish and he's got something about
to got those eyes, and the ladies are like all
over him, and it's a crazy thing. Eve, my wife said, well,

(08:59):
it's good looking dude. You'll see why everybody fawns over him. Yeah,
I think so. I think we all can. I mean,
if we're honest with ourselves, you look and go, Okay,
I can see why this guy's going to be this
new cover boy of Rolling Stone kind of thing. He
looks like he could have been an actor or something
like that. And so you couple that with infamy, but
infamy with the Robin Hood feel, and you've got the

(09:22):
sympathetic sex.

Speaker 9 (09:23):
Symbol Manjoni's case has become a cause, with admirers posting
videos like this on Instagram. A social media profile gained
hundreds of thousands of followers after his arrest, and the
police department that arrested Manzoni has been threatened.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
So is the McDonald's. They whether they review bomb McDonald's.
But this is a sex symbol with the cause kind
of thing, is the way they're looking at him. And
we have this bizarre thing where infamy. People just want
to gravitate towards some sort of fame. And I blame

(10:05):
a lot of that again on social media even more so.
I mean there was always wacked who's out there, you
know with when you go look at Manson and stuff
like that. It wasn't as prevalent as it is now.
But people like that thing. They want to be around,
you know, they want to be in the group where
people are staring at that group. And I guarantee if
the dude got out today, if he said he did

(10:26):
it and he got out today, women everywhere would be
all over in a heartbeat, and the gates. I want
to leave you guys out right. I don't want everybody up.
Matt Oh, you just mentioned the Gates because the Gates. Yes, yes,
I know, I know. You find him smoldering by the
way he says he can't have sex, And my first
thought was, well, don't tell your roommate. Oh Chad, you

(10:51):
may not be able to have sex. But he's gonna
again with that. Stop it. Three two three, five, three, eight,

Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 10 (13:11):
I'm not a confrontational person. I don't really extend myself.
I think this type of thing is very uncomfortable. All
this attention in linelight is very uncomfortable, and I would
prefer without it. I didn't want any type of attention
or praise or and I still don't. The guilt I

(13:33):
would have felt if someone did get hurt, if he
did do what he was threatening to do, I would
never be able to live with myself. And I'll take
a million court appearances and people calling me names and
people hating me just to keep one of those people
from getting hurt or killed.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Daniel Penny right there doing an interview. Everybody's still I
got people mad at me, thinking I'm making fun of
the family. No, I'm making fun of all of the
people that are there to grift. You didn't give a
rats ass about him. Jordan Neely when he was alive
you didn't care when he was dead, and he serves
a purpose either to elevate whatever it is that you're

(14:16):
screaming and yelling about so you can grift, or you're
a family member like the dad who basically abandoned him,
left him into foster care and helped facilitate this nightmare
where you see dollar signs. So I'm sorry again. You know,
I know some people out there, including our buddy Lonely

(14:37):
Scott thinks you know that Penny is a victim, and
in a way he is. But Jordan Neely was a
victim of a system and the victim of a horrible
life based on his famili's poor choices. Then that well,
that led to his poor choices. Geraldo, No, not that one.

(14:59):
It's basically herald, but I call him Gil.

Speaker 11 (15:01):
Though Alvin Bragg has been the nemesis of Donald Trump,
any criticism of Bragg automatically becomes political.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I don't mean it to be political. I worked in
that office.

Speaker 11 (15:12):
So did my daughter, who the sister of the one
who works here. This prosecutor made a political decision to
go after this white marine because of his constituency.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
That is kind of spot on. It was political, but
he likes to make things political. He does. Alvin Bragg
loves that three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is your Twitter,
your Instagram, the TikTok thingking me Bober as well. I'll
check out the Chad Benson Show TV on YouTube right here.

(15:46):
On the Chad Benson Show, as we talked about yesterday,
there was a case similar to this where a young
man stabs somebody in protecting his girlfriend on a train.
He was black. He didn't get prosecuted. They said no,
he had justifications to do so, so he walked and

(16:06):
based on the evidence I saw, I had no problem
with it. Meanwhile, Trump trying to get his people over
the line when it comes to confirmation, like Pete heg Seth.
Now that I said it right, you know he's done.

Speaker 12 (16:21):
What we're hearing from senators is that they are willing
to hear some of these allegations during the confirmation hearing,
but if they are presented in a way that heg
Seth can respond essentially, if they're not anonymous sources. So
that really seems to be the threshold here. If someone's
willing to come out and put their name on some
of these allegations, which is of course a tall order.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's absolutely the right thing, one hundred percent. If you're
going to accuse somebody of something that is this heinous,
you should come out. I'm not talking about the lady
who he already settled with. That's done and dusted. Everybody.
There are other people out there, all of these things,
all these accusations. You need to come out because otherwise
what are we gonna do. Which you can have people
accusing each other of stuff and saying, well, we'll keep

(17:04):
it anonymous so you never have to face your accuser,
and so that way everybody will have a chance to
upend anybody's confirmation process. So the next time the Democrats
have somebody up there, we can just say, oh, hey, anonymously,
that guy sexually assaulted a bunch of pigeons in the park.
Oh my god, I saw it. Who's I anonymous guy?

(17:25):
Come on three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter tweet text,
love me hear from all of you? Are you ready
to get a little morbid? We're gonna do that straight ahead.
It's weird, I know, plus we've got the number one
Christmas song of all time.

Speaker 13 (17:38):
Chad Benson, jef Son, Chad Benson, Joe, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
We have a weird fascination with death and also places
of death, and it's kind of weird how we decide
like this is okay, and this isn't this is historic,
but this is creepy and we all do it. I
mean most of us do. Let's be real. Ah, I'm
not gonna lie. During twenty sixteen, we're doing our tour
kind of America for my shows. We'd really started to

(18:25):
make some noise and we were going to the convention
in Cleveland and Buddy and my old producer John and
I we were in Milwaukee and I'm like, let's go
see where Dahmer lived. It was weird. I'm like, why,
because we have this creepy fascination. I lived in London

(18:46):
for a long time and I will tell you this.
I went on several ripper walks, and when I was
a kid, the first thing I wanted to do when
I was over there is I wanted to go to
the London Dungeon. Oh my god. We have this bizarre
fascination with these kind of things, and sometimes you're like,

(19:08):
it feels like it's okay, right, feels like it's all right.
It's a London dungeon. Let's go check it out. Look
at the way they used to torture people back in
the day. Some of this stuff was actually used. Oh wow,
it's now a tourist attraction. It's creepy, right when you
think about it. Amityville horror. People want to go by

(19:28):
there all the time. Six people were slaughtered there. It's
weird spawn ranch, Charles Manson. People go there. Many of
you are thinking about those kind of things, like, oh, yeah,
we got this here. It's a weird thing. We have
this bizarre fascination. Well, now a country is thinking we
should take advantage of that. Oh do tell Well, first,

(19:51):
let's tell the story of the People's Temple, started by
Jim Jones in nineteen fifty five in Indianapolis. They moved
out to the West coast in San Francisco, got involved
in the community there, became a communist socialist. He was
going to have this revolution of people and they were
all going to commune together and whatnot, and a lot
of shady stuff was going on, and he felt the

(20:12):
heat so he got all of his congregation as much
of them to sell everything and I'm giving you, guys
abbreviated version, give the money to him. And they went
to a small South American country called Guiana, and they
set up their utopia in the middle of the forest
called Jonestown. People around the country started writing their congress

(20:36):
people started saying, hey, our family, We can't get a
hold of them. It was crazy. So November eighteenth, nineteen
seventy eight, a congressman named Leo Ryan heads down to Guiana,
goes down there, takes a few staff members, including Spears,

(21:02):
who is very nice. She goes on to obviously have
a very great career in the political world. But he
and at the time she the secretary, head down there.
He goes and looks around because he wants to know
what the hell's going on here? Why where is everybody right?

(21:24):
And they're like, they're all here, they're all happy. So
he thinks, hey, everything looks great here. These people are
having a great time. There's no reason, you know, And
everybody's celebrating while they're eating dinner, and he says, see,
there's no reason for you to be here. Everybody's fine.
He says, you're right, this is kind of a utopia.
While they're all eating dinner, people start handing in meltes.
I want to get out here. I'm held here at hostage.
I want to get out of here. I want to get

(21:44):
out of here. Jim Jones announces, if you guys want
to leave, you guys can leave. So Leo and a
bunch of people head to the airport and when that
happens and they think they're all heading out of here,
up comes Jim Jones's people, who slaughter them while they're
getting on the airplane. It was a famous NBC footage
of them coming out of the jungle with their guns

(22:07):
at blazing and shooting everything up, killing Leo, Ryan and
the camera and at several other people. It was awful
and that led to eventually the atrocities of Jonestown because
he knew that there was nothing else that now could
happen but for them to end their own lives, and

(22:30):
while they do it, because he kind of recorded everything,
Jim Jones recorded the final minutes of his followers in
their lives as they drank the kool aid, the Cyanide
kool Aid.

Speaker 14 (22:42):
Thank You, Don't Don't Fail. To follow my advice.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
You'll be sorry.

Speaker 14 (22:47):
They should of stepping over to the next plane.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
We've set an example for others.

Speaker 14 (22:52):
We've set one thousand people say we don't like the way.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
The world is.

Speaker 14 (23:00):
Take our life from us. We laid it down, we
got tired, we didn't commit.

Speaker 8 (23:08):
To a die.

Speaker 14 (23:08):
We came in an act of revolutionary suic died protesting
the conditions of an inhumane world.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
And like that, it was over, Just like that. Some
were shot, some took the kool aid.

Speaker 9 (23:38):
It was.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
It was awful. Nine hundred and eighteen people dead, the
horror of the whole thing that took place, and then
the world found out, Oh my god, what took place
was what we know now is the Jonestown massacre. Flash
forward all these years, and now Guiana's looking around, going, look,
death pretty damn popular, creepy things, very popular. Let's take

(24:03):
advantage of it.

Speaker 15 (24:04):
The site of the Jonestown massacre, one of the most
infamous murder suicides in recent history, could soon become a
tourist attraction.

Speaker 16 (24:12):
That's right.

Speaker 15 (24:13):
Jonestown, Guyana, in South America, is where cult leader Jim
Jones and more than nine hundred of his followers, including
hundreds of children died back in nineteen seventy.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Eight, so they're going to turn it into what this
is going to be rides. I'm not quite sure what
the hell you guys are really thinking about doing this. Hey,
you're a small, little got nothing area and country. As
far as you know, there's not a lot there. It's
not not going on again. It's not like, hey, this

(24:45):
is our big thing, let's turn it into the Disneyland
of Death.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
Former commerswoman Jackie Spear joins us now live just right
off the bat. What's your reaction to hearing that Jonestown
may now become a tourist attraction.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
Well, it's macabre, to say the very least, and not
worthy of people visiting the site. Frankly, I mean, I
think this is all about making money by a adventure
travel agency and maybe the government of Guyana. And frankly,
you know, it's in a jungle setting at a remote airstrip,
and from what I understand, all of the buildings have

(25:18):
been overtaken by the jungle. So I find it just appalling.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
To say the least.

Speaker 17 (25:24):
I understand that, but it's so weird because it's historic
in its creepiness and it's part of history.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
But do you really want to travel all the way there?
You know what? I bet they'd sell the hell out
of that thing.

Speaker 15 (25:40):
Yeah, and that's as you said, it's not worthy, which
may answer the next question I have, which is that
the tourism minister in Guyana there's a lot of government
support for this, evoked Rwanda. Poor operator referenced Auschwitz. You
do not believe these are in the same category.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
I mean, there are six million people killed during the
Holocaust Rawanda, millions of people who were taken. This was
a cult. Now, if you want to do a museum
on cults and why they're bad and how these meglomaniacs
can attract people to their congregations, maybe there's some value

(26:20):
to that.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
I'm not gonna lie. I've been to Ashwitz. It's uncomfortable
and it is very creepy, and knowing what went on there,
would I go here?

Speaker 14 (26:38):
No?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
But is there a fascination? Yes? Why? Because when it
comes on TV we watch stuff like this. When it
comes on TV, we watched the Creepy and the Macabre.
There is something about that. And I'll tell you there
are all kinds of travel agencies, especially for this generation
wants to travel everywhere, who wants to go do crazy things?

(27:02):
You know what else is a hotspot Chernobyl literally a
hotspot going there? Is there, creepy creatures there? What took
place there? People want to go do those things? This
would be another thing.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
It's a lesson in the United States about how the
State Department failed in protecting American citizens abroad because there
were so many defectors that had alerted the embassy in Georgetown.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Guyana of what was going on there.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
And they turned their eye and chose not to look
into it. But this is not a place that should
be heralded in any manner whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
What do you bet it gets off the ground sooner
than people think. I bet it does. Somebody's going to
go in there and do it, and it's going to
be in conjunction with the government because if it brings
in tourist bucks, that's what they care about. Plus, Guiana
doesn't want to be known always as the tourist place
where the tourists come but they never left. Three two, three, five,

(28:02):

song of earl time. It's a Chad Benson.

Speaker 18 (29:26):
Show, serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's Chad Beenson.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Starting tomorrow, we're gonna be counting down movies.

Speaker 14 (29:47):
What do you hear.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
We're gonna do it, the countdown movies starting tomorrow. It's
gonna be awesome. I'm excited. But we're finishing up today songs,
greatest Christmas songs of all time. We've counted down some
of the most amazing songs. And by the way, the
songs are classic, they're timeless. These songs are it. They're

(30:10):
the best. But there can only be one. As Connor
McLeod of the Clan McCloud would say from the movie Highlighter,
there can be only one, and there is only one.
Are you ready to hear what it's all about? Baby,

(30:30):
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 19 (30:33):
It's time for the Great Christmas Countdown. The five Greatest
Christmas Songs.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Of all time.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Number one, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Number one. You say, a song that is incredible, that
has been around since the nineties, that has stood the
test of time and done what many others have it,
which has continued to chart year after year. Three Guinness
Book World Records annoys people all the time come October time,

(31:14):
and they only certified diamond Holiday song in history. Ladies
and gentlemen. It is so crazy that she had to
come up with something to tell everybody it's time to
start taking this song out. Oh yeah she did, Mariah

(31:44):
ed you know what time? It is.

Speaker 20 (31:56):
One on Christmas. Number It's just one thing. I don't
care about the present, the Christmas street.

Speaker 21 (32:11):
I just want to form my own you could evo
make my own wish card.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
F prison, it's.

Speaker 22 (32:46):
Christmas. It's just one thing.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
About present.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Christmas.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
The number one saw I must the number one song.
There could be only one. Look, I love all the
other ones, but I never get tired of this. I
don't even if I heard it in August, I'd be
like singing it. It is incredible. It is fun. Guinness
Book record holder still makes her eighty plus million dollars

(33:19):
a year, and it is amazing to still hear every
single year it charts. By the way, it's on the
charts now, continuing to chart. She's on a big tour
right now for Christmas and stuff like that, celebrating the
anniversary of this thing. But it is an amazing song
she wrote. And by the way, when I mean she
wrote it, she wrote it. How long did it take

(33:41):
him a riot to put this thing together?

Speaker 23 (33:43):
I also read that you wrote that song or co
wrote that song in a matter of fifteen minutes, essentially.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Give or ta.

Speaker 16 (33:50):
Yeah, it was pretty fast working on it by myself.
So I was, you know, writing and on this little
Cassio keyboard, writing down words and thinking about what do
I think of a Christmas?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
What do I love? What do I want? What do
I dream of? And one of the things she dreamed
of was writing a hit that was going to be
a hit and be around for a while. That was
the other big thing she wanted, something that was going
to be, as she liked to say, timeless. That was
my goal was to do something timeless.

Speaker 16 (34:21):
I didn't feel like the nineties, which is when I
wrote it.

Speaker 23 (34:23):
Why do you think this has such an enduring appeal?

Speaker 2 (34:27):
I think it's because I.

Speaker 16 (34:28):
Really truly love the Holidays, like it's not fague.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
My goodness me, just incredible. We all know it, we
all love it. All I want for Christmas Mariah Carey
the number one Christmas song of all time. I like
a lot of Christmas music, and we're going to do
a breakdown of one of my favorites coming up, but

(34:57):
for a whole lot of different reasons. But when it
comes to being number one, there is only one Mariah
All I want for Christmas. See, it's not all doom
and gloom in the world of talk radio for others.
It might be not for us. Three two, three, five,

(35:21):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
That is your Twitter, your Instagram, we got your YouTube,
the kids are on, and any other thing they'll come
up within the next couple days, weeks, and months right
here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, second hour.
A lot of stuff still to get to micro dozing,

(35:43):
not for the drugs that you would think kids, but
for weight loss, which is very interesting. Plus the hell's
going on in New Jersey? Are the Aliens coming? And
if they are, is New Jersey really the place you
want to make first contact. I mean, is that because
whatever's going on, even the Governor's going like forget about it,

(36:04):
something's going on over here. We're gonna talk about that
a lot of other stuff as well, including more on
well the chaos of the CEO Killer and yes, I'm
gonna give you my breakdown that bizarre movie that got
sixteen Golden Globe nominations. What the hell is that? Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
If Luige's gold was to get a conversation in this
country started about the evil of health care companies and
how people are treated in the world of health care
as just a number. If that was his goal, mission accomplished.

(37:16):
If his goal was to get away with it, well
that didn't happen. But the conversation has been started. There's
no doubt about that. The conversation has absolutely been started,
if you can get past all the ladies that are
fawning over him, which is tough because there's a plenty
of them. Yesterday I made an appearance in court. He

(37:40):
was not thrilled, wanted the world to know.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
Experience.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, they had to shove him on in there and
apparently during the hearing, his attorney Thomas Dicky had to say, shush,
stop it right, this is a good will hunting. You're smart,
but you're not that smart. We're going to talk about it. Shush.

(38:13):
I have a feeling he's gonna have his hands full
with him. Last night, the attorney Thomas Dickie, he's been
making the rounds, was on our News Nation Chris Cuomo
last night talking about a lot of things, including why
they're going to fight extradition.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
I think he made some knowing decisions today when we
decided that we're challenging this extradition. I don't make you know,
those evaluations necessarily at this level. And so I he
seemed to understand my questions, he seemed to be able
to interact with me, and so I was pleased with that.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
So interacted with him. Pleased with it. And of course
the question everybody wants to know. There's a lot of
different things in there, right, Like he's got this manifesto,
this two hundred and sixty two word manifesto. He hates,
you know, everything that is capitalism, all of these things.
What about the gun?

Speaker 5 (39:09):
The first of all, you know, Chris, you're making a
statement to that gun that they found matched at the
shooting in New York. I haven't been certainly made aware
of that. I haven't seen any realistic reports. So if
you've seen that already, then that's interesting because I certainly
haven't seen that.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
And nobody's seen that yet. I'm sure we will. He's
a plant. He's not get over that plant. Do you
know what can conspiracy people? It is amazing And even
if you go and you debunk it a thousand times,
it doesn't matter. They'll come up with something new. So

(39:46):
all kidding aside, he started a conversation he was going
to spend the rest of his life in jail. He's
going to spend the rest of his life in jail,
and that conversation isn't going to lead to us getting
national healthcare or anything like that, which, by the way,
he should be very excited because he's now going to
get himself a little national healthcare. So you wanted, you

(40:08):
got it now. And the realization of what is sinking
in has to be there as well, that there is
probably no get out of jail card unless they screwed
something up during the investigation. Didn't do your morandue I mean,

(40:28):
whatever one of those things. Outside of that, you're done
starting to realize that the only light you're going to
see for the next couple millennia is going to be
going to the courtrooms and then eventually on your way
to New York. At twenty six, man, that is uh

(40:51):
had everything. Like I said yesterday, people have traded with
him in a heartbeat. Ninety nine percent of the planet
would have traded with him in a heartbeat. And now
he's going through the rest of his life in jail.
But he did start a conversation. So if that was
your goal, you started in a heinous, vile way. You
started a conversation. So I guess in that way your
mission is accomplished. But is the mission to get other

(41:16):
people to do this? Maybe because they're starting to send
warnings out there to healthcare executives, to executives across the
board in major corporations.

Speaker 24 (41:28):
A bulletin from the NYPD warns of new threats to
executives in the insurance industry, including an online hit list
showing names and salaries of eight top executives. The bulletin
also shows wanted posters of corporate executives hung up near
wall street and warns of social media users celebrating Thompson's death,
one person writing, CEOs should all act like they have

(41:49):
targets on their backs, which is terrifying because, by the way,
if you want to know what terrorism is, that's what
terrorism is.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
You are using violence to try to change politics. The
best way to describe it. You're using that as a
means through which you feel that you can change something,
and so you'll terrify people into changing that. And there

(42:22):
are plenty of people out there that feel this way.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
I don't give that he shot that CEO.

Speaker 22 (42:27):
I hope he's got a list.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
I hope he's working.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Down, which is disgusting, it is. And I sit here
and I shake my hand. I think, is this When
do we get to this point where people are so angry?
What are you angry at? Well? Life is expensive or
this that? And Okay, all of us have our moments
of anger and being pissed off at certain situations. When

(42:53):
do we look at ourselves and say, is it me?
Maybe I did something? Could I do something else? Could
I do something different? And I'm not saying every thing
is going to be fair, and I'm not saying that
there isn't a conversation to be had around some of
this difference between a conversation and killing people. Those are
separate issues. And now you've got guys and gals who

(43:17):
are running corporations who are surrounded like the president because
they're terrified. Oh my god, who's the next person that's
going to take up the cause douchure which is apparently
hunting CEOs.

Speaker 25 (43:32):
You look at social media, at the posters on the street,
and you have to say, this is not a one
person problem. This is a societal issue that we better
figure out how to deal with.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah, you better, You better figure it out, because it's
easy now to start the revolution of whatever it is
that you're hoping to start, to get people who are
a little unhinged on the left to do some stuff
that's crazy on the left, who go out and let's
destroy capitalism on the left and tear everything down. These
are the lefties. So we got to get a handle

(44:11):
on this. We do because you and I both know
we talk about this all the time. Not everybody understands
that some of this stuff is a bit theatrical, and
that people that are egging people on not everybody understands
that they may actually take up arms and do something
stupid and be inspired. This guy, by the way, is

(44:36):
getting all the love you can get of some sort
of like I said, modern day Robin Hood who didn't
do anything but murder. Could you imagine the bank robbers
of old that everybody like, you know fonds over and
think about, you know, Jesse James, he's getting back at
the man. You know, you go back and Butch Cassidy

(44:58):
in the sun dance Kiddy by the way, never killed.
Could you imagine if they got on the train and
then they just killed some people and then just got
off without any of the money and didn't give anything
to anybody. No, but people are like, he's so dreaming.

Speaker 25 (45:13):
There is vitriol in social media across the board about
the corporate America.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
That's understandable when you got a bunch of these kids.
The funny thing is they're learning this where they're going
to big colleges, Ivy League schools. They're being indoctrinated and
being told that everybody is oppressed, White people suck, the

(45:43):
man is evil. You need to tear down the entire
system and get out there and do it. And they're
all going to schools that cost god knows how much,
and you're thinking to yourself, wait a minute, here, you're
telling everybody how horrible the world is from your vaunted

(46:07):
place of privilege at ivy League schools or big colleges
across this country, and you're going to go out and
start the revolution that nobody's asking you to start except
for you. I mean, we see think about what we're
seeing on the streets, especially college campuses. You've got open

(46:31):
hostility to Jews, to whites, you have a singular mindset
that is to the left or else. It is not
a good place to be. And you're getting people out
there that are completely fine with trying to tear down

(46:55):
a system they see as absolutely yet they benefit from it.
The shoes they wear, they're not making their own shoes,
the iPhone, they benefit from it across the board. They're
at schools that cost god knows how much to be

(47:20):
told how horrible it is to live in a place
like this. It is so the height of privilege. And
we're gonna get into a little bit of Syria coming
up in a minute. But when you think about what
those people are going through, every one of them would say, no,
you don't want whatever it is. You think that the
colonist's evil will have a bit of that. We'd like

(47:43):
a bit of that, if that's possible. Yeah, there, I
have a feeling there will be another copycat. I could
easily see that for sure. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benton Show, it's your Twitter,
your Instagram coming up this hour. Talk a little bit
about Nancy Masping attacked last night, Talk a little bit

(48:07):
about Syria. Then we've got a hodgepodge of fun stuff,
including I told you I was gonna do it. I'm
gonna give you a breakdown of the movie they got
sixteen Golden Globe nominations that we have no idea what
the hell it is, and I'm going to tell you why.
It reminds me of the worst television show in history,
and it is the worst television show in history. In fact,

(48:28):

It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Chad Benson, I want it, Huh, I've told you.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Oho what was that? That is a man who got
a car earlier in the day and wasn't happy about
it and decided he was going to return it by
driving through the front of their building into their showroom
at the tim Dale Mazda Southtown in Sandy, Utah. He

(50:18):
wasn't playing was He apparently was sold as is and
he wasn't thrilled by something. I don't know what it was.
Maybe he bought it without his wife's permission. It was
a super u Maybe found out he wasn't a lesbian.
I don't know, Chad. He drove right through and then
he guys like, did I hit anybody? But when you
get out of because I wasn't playing, was I well,

(50:39):
guy's like, no, you weren't. You were Actually you were
pretty honest about that. He drove it right through. I've
posted on the old interwebs who want to go check
it out again? You have many places to shop, but
when you're in Sandy only go to tim Dale Mazda Southtown.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
So insane.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Speaking of insane, it is one of the worst prisons.
As all the stuff is being sussed out in Syria
that is going to take forever. In a day now,
people are starting to get a look at the killing
machine that was the Asad regime.

Speaker 26 (51:10):
This was almost unbelievable. Sidnaya Jail is one of the
most notorious in the whole region, maybe the world.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Now.

Speaker 26 (51:19):
It's been a place where the Assaid regime, first under
Hafez and then his son Bashar, would put political prisoners
and people would go and they would.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Never come back.

Speaker 26 (51:28):
The word said naya was a byword for disappearing. So
the idea that you could go in there and come
back out again is just completely mind blowing to most Syrians.
But now that's exactly what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Yeah, as they go in there and it is all
these people whose family members just disappeared, nobody ever knows
what happened to him. They kept some record.

Speaker 26 (51:48):
We walked up to the building and there was a
large group of people outside. There was a man standing
up reading out a list of names. I asked a
man stood next to me what he was reading. Then
he just looked at me and he said, these is
in the names of everybody who was hanged. And I
realized that he was waiting to hear a name that
he recognized, and it was that of his brother.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Yeah, and here's the other thing nobody's which is creepy.

Speaker 26 (52:14):
And there was a printing press. They said to me
that this is how they disposed of the bodies. They
put them on this large hydraulic press.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. It's your Twitter, your Instagram
right here on the Chad Benson Show. Absolutely horrific. And
we're going to find out a lot more about that
in the coming days and weeks, I'm sure. Meanwhile, last night,
more of the caring and understanding of people when it
comes to the gender debate in DC. Somebody who's at

(52:44):
the head of the fight, if you will. Nancy Mace
was assaulted.

Speaker 27 (52:48):
Capitol police confirming and arrest after an alleged assault against
Congresswoman Nancy Mace inside a congressional office building. Mace describing
her assailant as quote a pro trans man. Police have
really few details about the suspect, identified as a thirty
three year old from Illinois who now faces a charge
of assaulting a government official. Mey says she has a
brace on her wrist, but says she'll be just fine.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
She's got a brace on her wrists she's got love
in her heart. What is a pro trans man? Is
that somebody who is trans used to be a woman
or is this just somebody who's like, I'm I'm an
ally and I'm willing to just hurt anybody I need
to the insanity of that. First of all, you made
a choice to drive somewhere to assault a human being

(53:33):
that you know nothing about. That she well, she doesn't
like trans people. She doesn't want them in her bathroom.
By the way, I don't want anybody in my bathroom period,
But she doesn't want them changing with her. There's nothing
wrong with that. Women are allowed to have their opinions
as well, and if they feel uncomfortable in that situation,
shouldn't they be able to say that. That's a lot

(53:53):
more than that chat. It's full of hate. Ah A
bunch of nutjobs. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. To Twitter you, Instagram,
I'm missing to the show. Grab the podcast.

Speaker 17 (54:04):

Speaker 2 (54:43):
I love it. And you guys know that if you've
not seen this video, what's out there? You can do
anything with music in AI, and this one spectacular, ladies
and gentlemen. AI creed with Rudolph the Red Nose here.

Speaker 20 (55:02):
Rude off the rein nos range and a very shiny nos.

Speaker 19 (55:14):
And you you have salt it.

Speaker 20 (55:19):
Udy even say it glow.

Speaker 18 (55:27):
Hollow.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
It's so amazing range and you do it in a
minute or two if you go here. It is so crazy,
how fast that you can do this stuff.

Speaker 19 (55:38):
We never let rude off John and any range games
in one.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
Call your Christmas Eve. Oh Santa came to same chall
youtan meh.

Speaker 20 (55:58):
Sure please square else mane so awesome, jamnuilty.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
High sure.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Eslavea play the hits. Everybody a little free right there.
Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer. Oh yeah, that is just
so awesome. I was playing around today with Sono. I
for you a s u n o. I think that's
how you pronounce it. You can produce a song in
a minute that sounds good. It's just so fascinating and

(56:34):
terrifying at the same time. And I will say, you know,
the voice over sided thing is getting a lot better,
video is getting a lot better. But the music side
of AI is just light years ahead. Of everything else,
and it's just it's it's only gonna get better. I mean,
it's remember when chat GPT first came out and everybody's like,

(56:55):
oh yeah, like it's pretty neat. You can do a
couple things here and there. Now it's it's crazy how
amazing it is. And with computer chips and stuff getting faster,
they had that breakthrough that computer chip, so Google had
that the other day that a normal computer trying to
solve this math problem, it would take it infinity essentially,

(57:16):
and this thing does it like that. I mean, it's
so freaking amazing. I'm excited for the future. The rest
of the world not so much. Right, They're like it's over,
we should kill CEOs and everything's bad, And I'm looking
at this going, this is awesome. All this stuff is
so cool. Speaking of cool, microdosing not that way though,

(57:39):
with the drugs. Not that way. Microdosing with weight loss medication,
because when everybody started taking the weight loss medication, there
were a few side effects that people struggled with, so
they're like, maybe I should try something else this morning.

Speaker 29 (57:57):
Microdosing meds used for weight loss.

Speaker 30 (58:00):
It just makes me feel better about myself psychologically that
I can say no and that I don't have to
eat sweets or too much food.

Speaker 29 (58:07):
Erica Liebman, a psychologist in Philadelphia, was worried about all
the possible side effects taking ozempic, so under the supervision
of her doctor, she decided to try microdosing, or taking
very small amounts of the medication.

Speaker 30 (58:20):
What I have found is that I'm able to put
my fork down when I want to, when it's a
healthy time, instead of when I've already started to regret
how much I've eaten.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Okay, that's good, that's good. It's actually somebody named microdose
who just follows you around, soe put your fork down.
Put it down. So they're just taking bits of it,
little bit. My uncle went on ozempic and you're supposed
to like it starts you at like five milligrams and
like seven and he gets first days just like he
just gave himself the whole like kit in kaboodle, and

(58:50):
he goes to the doctors and he's like, did you feelings? Now,
just give it to myself and look, it's worked big time.
He's like, I am never hungry, and whenever I take
like bites, I'm full.

Speaker 29 (59:01):
People on GLP one medications typically start by taking lower
doses before gradually working up to higher doses over the
course of several weeks. This is what is FDA approved
and has been studied for safety and effectiveness in clinical trials.

Speaker 31 (59:16):
Sometimes you started at a lower dose, you get the body
kind of acclimated, acclimated to the drug, and you minimize
those side effects, and then you uptitrate the dose over time.

Speaker 29 (59:25):
For Michael Hammer of Los Angeles, after taking the recommended
dose of ozembic for three months, he was ready to
give it up because he says his side effects were unbearable.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
I would order food and when the first bite came in,
I would just immediately get overwhelmingly full, a nauseous, and
it would just make to the point that I was
not consuming enough calories and really was worried about malnourishment.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Wow, that's the nauchis thing. I know, no, thank you,
but the full thing. I think we could all use
a little bit of that, especially you know I All
you have to do is go online now and there's
five thousand studies about how much way you're gonna put
on between you know, like Thanksgiving essentially and New Year,
and how much we're still trying to work off last

(01:00:08):
year's wait, which just it's not going anywhere. I'm staying,
you can't get rid of me. But should you microdose?
So let's say you've tried these things and it's not
gone well for you. You tried them, you felt like
it was gonna be okay, but then all of a sudden,
your stomach's upset, you can't eat, you look malnourished, because

(01:00:30):
that's a lot of what some people are saying is
how bad it is you don't eat at all, which like, well,
why don't you just give a drug that makes everybody
feel like crap and everybody lose weight.

Speaker 29 (01:00:38):
That's when he says a medical professional who prescribed the
medication to him through a telehealth company suggested he try
microdosing instead. He's been doing it for two years now
and says it changed his life.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
That allowed me to lose the weight that would have
taken me and you know, I did it in eight
months instead of two years, but also it allowed me
to reset my lifestyle.

Speaker 29 (01:01:03):
Well, Michael and Erica say microdosing is working for them.
Doctors say there's no science right now that shows microdosing
these medications is effective. There isn't even a true dosage
range for microdosing.

Speaker 31 (01:01:16):
I don't recommend microdosing to my patients. There's just not
enough research there, and it's much easier to titrate these
medications along the FDA approved indications and doses.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Here's my thing. Is it going to hurt anybody? Because
if you're if you're taking it and then you're just
taking less, I don't see how that's gonna hurt you.
So because it's like, hey, you're supposed to take ten milligrams,
she took five. That could be dangerous. What that's so
if it makes you feel better and it works, maybe
it's psychological. I don't know. But micro dosing is the
new thing because we can't just get something without changing it,

(01:01:48):
and that's the new thing in weight loss. We move
from there to the skies of New Jersey. What is
in the skies of New Jersey?

Speaker 32 (01:01:57):
Sir? The FBI in the Newark Field Office, along with
the state and local partners there. The Bureau is actively
investigating the unexplained sighting of drone activity over that part
of New Jersey, including proximity to sensitive sites and areas
of concern.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Nobody knows what these drones are They are massive. The
FBI is concerned about it because they're seeing these huge
drones that are flying around coming out from the ocean,
not like up from the water, but out over the ocean.
And the minute it gets anywhere near where people could
see it and they would flash light on it, they

(01:02:39):
go dark, which is co reapy.

Speaker 32 (01:02:42):
So we do not attribute that to an individual or
a group yet. We're investigating, but I don't have an
answer of who's responsible for that of one or more
people that are responsible for those drone flights that were
actively invest investating.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Is the public at risk? Is public safety at risk?

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
Are we concerned that there are nefarious intentions that could cause.

Speaker 19 (01:03:07):
Either national security or a public safety incident that would
put Americans at risk.

Speaker 32 (01:03:11):
There's nothing that is known that would lead me to
say that, but we just don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Some state senators are calling for a limited state emergency
in these certain areas. Forty seven foot Coastguard ship was
out and these things followed it. It is really weird.
They are a trip and like the minute they flash light,
the minute any kind of light is shown in and
around it, they go dark like that, which is again creepy. Hello, enemies.

Speaker 32 (01:03:43):
What the Bureau has done to aid our state and
local partners is what we generally do. Enlist the help
of the inner agency, enlist the help of the public.
There's a tip line there that all FBI tips dot
FBI for information from the public that could help us

(01:04:06):
resolve this. It is concerning.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
You better figure it out. And that is concerning. I mean,
take the UFO side away from it because it's hard
to but take it away enemies. That's a serious issue
right there, because these things are big and our people
don't know what it is, which again very serious. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Told you guys yesterday, I don't know how I got
sixteen nominations. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't. I'm like,
what the hell is this movie?

Speaker 19 (01:06:21):
This?

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
What Emily Press? I've never heard of this movie. Never
never heard of this movie. And I know a lot
of movies. I watch a lot of silly trailers. Don't
really watch the movies. We watch a lot of the trailers.
I just not time. But sixteen Golden Clothes, My god,
I mean, you are winning a ton of the Oscars.

(01:06:41):
So I delved into it and said to everybody out there,
everybody out there, that's you, guys. I am going to
give you a breakdown of this movie from top to bottom,
and it is everything that is awful. Somebody got greenlit
for this. I don't know who or why. I couldn't

(01:07:01):
even tell you how that happened. But my god, oh,
are you ready for a little bit of the trailer?

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
Are you English?

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Now?

Speaker 10 (01:07:14):
I'm not English, not because you you are pretty.

Speaker 20 (01:07:22):
If you're not willing to accept, I don't think it's
worth talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
Just cut to the chase.

Speaker 28 (01:07:29):
To listen is to accept.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
A ding, So just a smidge of it. That's all
you guys get smitge. Now you're thinking chat that didn't
really what was that about? So the movie is about
Zoe Selton, who plays an attorney for a cartel kingpin

(01:08:07):
follow me here because it's all over the place, who's
married to Selena Gomez. He wants to live his most
authentic life, and he's trans and is going to transition
into a woman so he can live his authentic life.

(01:08:29):
It is from what I've went and watched. Twenty different
people give reviews of this, and most of them give
you four different things that aren't in the other reviews,
and it is all over the place. But all of
them say, hey, it's a hodgepodge of all kinds of crap,
and it's supposed to take place over time. I couldn't

(01:08:50):
tell you it is. How in God's name anybody greenlit this?
How somebody said, Hey, I got a great idea, tell
me about it. We're going to take a car. Tell guy,
Oh like Pablo Escobar. Yeah, like Pablo Escobar. And it's
gonna be a family kind of drama. Oh my God,
like the god Yeah, just like the Godfather. But it's

(01:09:12):
going to be a musical and he's trans what and
he wants to live his best authentic life, is what
you said? Yeah, so he's not doing it so he
can hide out with all of his billions of dollars. Nope,
he's always been that way underneath. Did I mention it
was musical?

Speaker 16 (01:09:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
It is a uh I don't get it, but it's
not made for people like me or you or anybody else.
That's normal. But it did get me thinking about all
horrible musical things that have happened. When it comes to
silly stuff like entertainment, some stuff is built for musicals,
wicked things of that nature. I get it. Cop Rock

(01:09:55):
was a show that came out in the eighties right
around there. Cop Rock was one of those serious crime dramas,
but with a twist. They sing the really important parts.
What if you don't believe me? This guy here, It's

(01:10:18):
just you have to see it to believe it. But
I'm gonna give you a taste of it. So imagine
a courtroom where a juror standing up and he's got
a spotlight on him, and then there is the judge
who also has a spotlight on him, and then everywhere
else is pretty black. So it's dark and there you go.

(01:10:41):
The judge says, as the jury reached the verdict, we
have you honor. Hit it now. When he says hit it,
the guy that's normally the stenographer or whatever, the court reporter,
pulls up his thing and he's got a piano, as
you would do in this situation. Do you guys see absurd?
This movie that's got sixteen nominations is Oh Jamming, he's.

Speaker 4 (01:11:16):
Guilty, judge, he's guilty.

Speaker 16 (01:11:18):
Thing.

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
You could see it in his he did the crime.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
And now here's got.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
Oh my god it is. If you have a chance,
just google it, go watch anything. You will come back
to me with like that was the worst best thing
I've ever seen. It is a car wreck that was
a television show that happened to be a nuclear disaster
that happened to also be The Titanic that happened to
be a comedy and a musical. And I would rather
watch that than this stupid movie that has sixteen Golden

(01:11:48):
Globe nominations. You won't get entertainment reporting like this anywhere else,
for god's sakes. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,

show doing that as well. Talking more about the CEO
Assassin because that's just not going anywhere, and of course
the weirdness over the fact that there's merch out there
which is creepy. And speaking of creepy kids, what the
hell are they doing in Guyana? That sounds familiar? Think
Jones down. Yeah, this is disturbing. Yet somebody thought this

(01:12:55):
might be a good idea. Write that down. Are you
really gonna do it? We might? We might not wait
to hear this story so much more. If you're missing
the show, grab the podcast. It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
This is the Chad Benson show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Mario, there's always one in the crowd. As the smoldering
killer heads into the courtroom yesterday, they're all taking pictures
and what do you have some guy out there going, Hey,
it's me, it's me, it's me and Mario. It's not

(01:14:01):
a funny thing. It is a funny thing because there's
always one in the crowd, and there's always one online
or several case in points this. Try not to laugh,
especially when he talks about he's just just so well.

Speaker 8 (01:14:14):
It seems everybody's favorite assassin may have been caught, and
it turns out he's an attractive spaghetti person named Luigi.
What an Italian hip man? That don't sound right up
to this whole situation. Right now, you see this dude
to McDonald's. You pay for is McMuffin, Give him a
sly wink and go back your day. Find she don't
turn him in right now? After seeing this guy, he's
gonna get plenty of those offers either way. Right now.

(01:14:35):
I mean, if Charles Manson's Hobo Nazi I ass got
a bunch of marriage proposals, then this justice a donnas
Hare is gonna have Netflix and ABBC working on a
true crime version of The Bachelor, but shoe we.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
But shoe wee spaghetti person, which is anything other culture.
I'd be racist, but no, not so much. He's not done.
He's having fun, ladies and gentlemen, because you can, because
the Internet allows you to do wacky stuff, from conspiracy
theories to insane things to god knows what. Everybody's got
their opinion about this guy now.

Speaker 8 (01:15:07):
But even though he is pretty not everybody's thrilled with
his reveal. Like a lot of people on the left
were hoping for a like regular guy with a sick
kid and nothing left to lose type situation, but it
turns out he's kind of a tech bro who loves
AI and yeah he is. He's a rich white kid
ivy leaguer, which at least the upside of that is
that that means the American criminal justice system has no

(01:15:28):
choice but to give him a slap on the wrist, right,
and him's the rules, right, because I mean, clearly, this
is a nice young man with his whole life ahead
of him, who shouldn't have that ruined because of one
moment of weakness. Your honor right? Ain't how this always
goes or is that only when the victim is poor.
America's got a lot of soul searching to do with this.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
I will say, Uh, the left is the ultimate situation
for the conversation starter would to have been a father
distraught because his child died and the CEO came down

(01:16:08):
and denied it in person like that's that would have
been their dream. And then this would have been the revenge.
Or you know, he lost his wife and then he
went bankrupt. And yeah, it wasn't that. It was a
wealthy pretty and I'm talking wealthy, not rich, not like
dad makes a half a million dollars year. We have
a beautiful home, we get to take first class, you know,

(01:16:29):
trips all over the world. I'm talking about wealthy, well
above that, forty thousand dollar years, private school for high school,
into ivy leagues, no debt, traveled the world, got everything.
And so it wasn't that. But conversation has been started.
So in a weird way, his mission was accomplished, at

(01:16:49):
least the first part. I don't think he's tearing down
capitalism anytime soon. And I do not believe if his
job in his mind was to go after another one
and or escape. I don't think that's gonna happen either,
but it doesn't stop the ladies from loving on him.

Speaker 33 (01:17:06):
Okay, so they've arrested our hot cosassin. Turns out his
name's Luigi.

Speaker 16 (01:17:12):
He's twenty six years old.

Speaker 33 (01:17:14):
He's an Ivy League grad, did his undergrad and masters
at Penn in computer science. He's a little young for me,
but ugh, baby, what is you doing getting caught eating
at McDonald's and cursey u McDonald's employee for turning him in.
They never understood those crazy women that wrote inmates in jail,

(01:17:37):
but I guess you always loved doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
So weird? So could you imagine a guy that would
fall over? I mean, look, guys, we're very visual creatures,
as we all know, but could you imagine taking to
the internet and just like, oh God, Eileen Warnos is
so hot. I love her. I love the fact that
she fought against the patriarchy and murdered those men. You're

(01:18:04):
so oh baby. I mean, could you Susan Smith, the
way that you drowned your kids because you were sick
and tired of being ignored as a mother, and what coome?

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
God?

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
That would be insane? We're like this is totally cool.
It's not, it's not, it's you know what it is.
It's it used to be infamy, right, you know with
with it was the big eyes like ah, he's done up,
and the little in the infamy now tiny eye in
and then huge famous infamy like that. The famous. They

(01:18:38):
want that, they crave that. People want to be around people.
I've always said, I guarantee you Ojay never worried about
getting a date. And allegedly they never found the killer.
You think they're still looking for him, You think they're
out there. What are you doing today? Sorry, guys, I
can't go out with you today. I'm still trying to

(01:18:59):
break the case of whoever killed Nicole Brown Simpson and
Ronald Goldman. People want to be around people that have
some sort of power and or fame, and it's a
status thing. So yeah, I guarantee you. You know any
of those those women out there that have killed their well,

(01:19:21):
you know, it's different for guys. I don't think guys
care about the fame part. They're looking and go she
hot because we're just scam at times. Let's be real.
But it's not fair. I gave away a secret. But
it's so bizarre the way that you know they've turned
him into this again, a modern day Robin Hood, who
all he did was kill a man when he started

(01:19:43):
a conversation, Chad, one that needed to happen. Conversations are good. Look,
I said it earlier and I'll say it again, the
whole thing with with Governor Abbott. So here's Governor Abott.
I'm the governor of Texas, and I'm sick and tired

(01:20:04):
of all this crap when it comes to immigration, at
us having to take the brunt of it. All these
blue cities want something right that they that they don't
have because it's easy to virtue signal. Well, guess what,
I'm going to give you something now. And he starts
busting it out, and I thought, well, you know it's political,
no doubt, and it's an interesting conversation, but nothing else

(01:20:30):
will come of it. But lo and behold, it became
a giant nightmare for all the blue cities. Then it
became a bigger conversation. Then it became something that happened.
Now do I think that's going to happen here? I don't.
I know that's going to happen here. But when you
start a conversation. That's a good thing. The way you
start the conversation, though, is not by killing someone. And

(01:20:57):
that's what happened. Here's a question for you, ladies. If
he's four hundred pounds, looks like baby Hwie right, one
leg is shorter than the other. His eyes are a
little bit further set to the right and left. He's
got a limp obviously, and smells shirts all stained and

(01:21:25):
he does this. Is he still the Robin Hood? Just
again throwing it out there? Probably not there like we
were hoping he was going to be, And he's not.
He's not. He's not so weird. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chadminton Show. Is your
Twitter tweet at his text to program. Meanwhile, Daniel Penny,

(01:21:48):
fresh off his acquittal for something that should never have
ever gone to court, talking to Fox about kind of
who he is in that whole situation.

Speaker 10 (01:21:56):
I mean, I'm not a confrontational person. I don't really
extend myself. I think this type of thing is very uncomfortable.
All this attention in lineline is very uncomfortable, and I
would prefer without it. I didn't want any type of
attention or praise the guilt I would have felt if
someone did get hurt, if he did do what he
was threatening to do, would never be able to live

(01:22:17):
with myself. I'll take a million court appearances and people
calling me names and people hating me just to keep
one of those people from getting hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Would killed?

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
Oh you have that now, because a lot of people
out there hate you. And there's another perfect example of
a bit of infamy. Everywhere he goes now, people are
going to look at him. Everywhere he goes now, especially
in a place like New York, people are going to
recognize him. And it's so weird the way that you
look at this guy was doing in his mind saving

(01:22:51):
people from the potential death of an individual. And the
same Internet that's cheering the likes of Luigi hates this guy.
And Luigi took a gun and shot somebody in the
back like a bitch, and this guy took it upon

(01:23:13):
himself to stop somebody from potentially harming other people. So bizarre,
so weird. You know, somebody asked me yesterday, you said
he's not I said, look, do I think he's a hero,
like he should get metals and stuff? No, I don't
think that I think he's a person, Daniel Penny, who

(01:23:35):
did something that has caused a lot of anger in
some places, and a lot of anger also that started
the conversation again, another situation where something has to happen
to start a conversation, and Daniel Penny and this entire
thing has started a conversation of the homeless, the mentally ill,

(01:24:00):
the things that they're doing on subways and in the
streets of New York and other places, and how they
have just basically been abandoned, And that's the conversation needs
to happen. But crime in general. In that situation, it's
a guy who had forty two arrests. And I said yesterday,
I'm not here to go after Jordan Neely. He made

(01:24:23):
some bad choices, but that that guy had a horrible life.
He struggled in and out of foster care, abandoned and
forgotten in a system that was broken and didn't care.
And so I was never here to throw shade on
Jordan Neely. But the system itself, for sure, and the

(01:24:44):
way they handled Penny and turned it into politics and
went after him three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three atch had Benson Show, should Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things coming up. So
we talk about infamy. Guiana is getting ready to do
something potentially. If you don't know where a geon is,

beings are morbid indeed, and we have this bizarre fascination
with a lot of stuff. This adoration online for the
CEO Killer is tremendous right now, this fascination. But what's
going on in Guyana, which is where Jonestown is kids,

(01:29:58):
is crazy as well. We're going to talk about that
because I just find it again. We're very fascinated with
morbid stuff. Hence the reason why all the podcasts that
are number one outside of like the Joe Rogans of
the World were all murder podcasts things of that nature.
And even now Google's trying to figure out what to
do with some of this stuff.

Speaker 24 (01:30:16):
Google has now removed a flood of negative reviews posted
for a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee there
tipped off police about Mangioni's location. People are also now
selling mugs and shirts that say denied, Defend, and topos
the words police say, we're found on bullets at the
crime scene, matching the title of a book on why
insurance companies don't pay claims. Some sites quick to remove

(01:30:37):
the merchandise sympathetic to Mangioni, concerned about glorifying violence.

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
And some of the other stuff that out there are
pictures of him on you know, hoodies and all kinds
of stuff, and this thirst trap. It is a weird situation.
We have this weird fascination with death and then to
stare at it in a bizarre way. If you've seen
the show, I say, shame on you, grab the podcast.
It is the chat Benson.

Speaker 13 (01:30:59):
Shown Chad Benson shoe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
The Chad Benson shows.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
A species has this weird fascination with death and in
some cases fascination with places where death. At times a
lot of death has happened, and it's crazy how wha

(01:31:44):
could do When you think about it, we can be
some of the hot spots for tourism right now. You
can go to the battlefield or Ukraine. It's one of
the hot spots. Get out of town, Chernobyl. Are you interested?
Death has always been kind of an odd thing and entertainment,

(01:32:06):
whether it was the Battle of the Gladiators or how
about the Civil War. For God's sakes, they used to
have picnics and watch the battle. We have this bizarre
entertainment fascination with death. How about this? Lizzie Borden took

(01:32:31):
an axe, gave her mother forty wax. When she saw
what she had done, she gave her father forty one.
You can go stay at the house where the murders
were committed.

Speaker 16 (01:32:45):
No, m M.

Speaker 2 (01:32:48):
What brings us to this chilling challenge? November eighteenth, nineteen
seventy eight. Guiana a South American country. A group of
people that traveled there a few years earlier to escape
the evil of America, the communism that they brought with them.

(01:33:13):
Their commune. They're building this utopia led by a man
by the name of Jim Jones. Ooh yeah. So he
takes his group down there and there had been some
people that had left dissolutioned with the fact that it
was awful jungle, pressive heat. The beatings will continue until

(01:33:36):
morale improves. Kind of thing with how he ran everything there.
Remember he got all these people to sell their goods,
their belongings, give it to him, and they're building this
utopia out of this jungle in the middle of gian
so Leo Ryan, who represents a lot of these people
or did when they were still in the States at
San Francisco, is hearing all this stuff. He decides I'm

(01:33:59):
going to take a trip down there. So he goes
there along with then his secretary Jackie Spears, ends up
becoming a congresswoman, taking over his spot eventually, and they
head down to Keana to see the Jonestown utopia for themselves.

(01:34:19):
Now he gets there and you know, he's going through
the motions, and obviously Jim Jones is a little pissed
that this is there because, as you know, you're you're
getting into our stuff. Man, I'm doing things here. I'm
I'm having sex with all these people, and I'm controlling everything,
and I've got all their money, and you're here sniffing
around because their families worried about them. And then they

(01:34:40):
have a big meal because he's going to leave the
next day. And uh Leo stands up, Leo Ryan, the congressman,
and says, this, did all of.

Speaker 35 (01:34:47):
You know that I'm here to find out more about
crushes them and raised about your operation here. And I
can tell you right now that I'm a few conversations
I've had with some of the folks here already in
seeing that whatever the comments are, there are some people
here who believe that this is the best thing they
ever happened on.

Speaker 22 (01:35:02):
Their whole line.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
So that was at the meal. Later on, several people
come up and slip them notes saying they want to
go home. They feel trapped here, They're being held here
against their will. He raises it. Jim Jones tells that
anybody wants to leave with Leo. You guys leave in
the morning. They go, they head to the little airstrip
where they're all going to leave, and then out of nowhere,

(01:35:28):
And this is all being filmed by the way from
an NBC local NBC affiliate out of San Francisco. Out
of nowhere, trucks arrive and out of the bushes and everywhere,
and they start blasting, killing a bunch of people, and
by then Jim realizes, all right, the gig is up.
So then he perpetrates one of the largest mass murders

(01:35:49):
of all time. And you can't even really call it
murder suicide. The reality is you were either gonna drink
it or you're gonna get shot.

Speaker 14 (01:35:59):
Hey, you don't, don't fail to follow my advice. You'll
be sorry, say should of stepping over to the next
plain We've set an example for others. We've set one
thousand people say we don't like the way the world is.
Take our life from us. We laid it down, we

(01:36:20):
got tired. We didn't commit suicide. We came in an
act of revolutionary suicide, protesting the conditions of an inhumane world.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
And that was it. It was over nine and eighteen
people dead. Flash forward all these years and Guiana's like,
we got an idea. You're like, oh, this doesn't sound good.
Say it out loud, Bob. We want to hear what
it is. Let's turn it into a tourist attraction. What
it's big business this people want to come to all
these places and see where people have been murdered and sleep. Hell,

(01:37:06):
we'll make it a sleepover camp. It'll be hilarious. Not
everybody's thrilled.

Speaker 15 (01:37:10):
The site of the Jonestown massacre, one of the most
infamous murder suicides in recent history, could soon become a
tourist attraction.

Speaker 16 (01:37:18):
That's right.

Speaker 15 (01:37:19):
Jonestown, Guiana in South America is where cult leader Jim
Jones and more than nine hundred of his followers, including
hundreds of children, died back in nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (01:37:30):
So turn it into a tourist attraction. I don't know
how well that's going to go over with people who
are still alive. See a lot of these people that
when they turn these things into things, they're not there anymore,
and a bit of time has gone by. Well, there
were a lot of young people that were in the
cult still around. Jim Jones Junior is still around, and

(01:37:50):
so is Jackie Spears.

Speaker 7 (01:37:52):
Former commerswoman Jackie Spear joins us now live just right
off the bat. What's your reaction to hearing that Jonestown
may now become a tour detraction.

Speaker 6 (01:38:00):
Well, it's macabre, to say the very least, and not
worthy of people visiting the site. Frankly, I mean, I
think this is all about making money by an adventure
travel agency and maybe the government of Guyana. And frankly,
you know, it's in a jungle setting at a remote airstrip,
and from what I understand, all of the buildings have

(01:38:21):
been overtaken by the jungles. So I find it just appalling,
to say the least.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
But I understand why people want to do it, because
they're fascinated. They've seen the documentary, they've read the stories,
they've heard all the stuff they've seen the survivors. You know,
every anniversary that comes around and people get curious about
stuff like this. And if you go back, people go
to Hiroshima, go to Ashwitz, and Ashwitz, people go to

(01:38:50):
nine to eleven, they go to the ground zero. I know,
and those are different things. Normandy it is. It's a
different thing, but people are curious and the different is

(01:39:11):
what drives them there. If you go to London, you
can take a Jack the Ripper Walk. I've done it
on several occasions. You go to all the places that
he disemboweled the ladies. That is so weird when you
think about it.

Speaker 15 (01:39:28):
Yeah, and as you said, it's not worthy, which may
answer the next question I have, which is that the
Tourism minister in Guyana. There's a lot of government support
for this. Evoked Rwanda. Poor operator referenced Auschwitz. You do
not believe these are in the same category.

Speaker 6 (01:39:46):
I mean, there are six million people killed during the
Holocaust Rwanda, millions of people who were taken. This was
a cult. Now, if you want to do a museum
on cults and why they're bad and how these meglomaniacs
can attract people to their congregations, maybe there's some value

(01:40:08):
to that.

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
Well, that's not the same, but people will show up
if you put it there, because people are curious. Like
I said, Chernobyl's a big deal. People want to go
to the battlefield in Ukraine, Afghanistan for God's sakes. People
want to go where things are mysterious, dangerous, potentially evil.

(01:40:33):
It's and the Auschwitz thing. It's it's different because it
was mass murder. That wasn't war. That was mass murder.
When you go to Normandy, the history there is, I
mean you can feel it when you get there. But

(01:40:53):
that was war, that was battle. Auschwitz is not. There
was no battle going on there. It was just plain
murder and some stuff. Again, we romanticize some of the weird.
I've been to a bron castle in Romania sort of
Glad the Impaler was his nickname was the Impaler. It's

(01:41:18):
just an odd thing that we have this fascination, much
like with this guy that killed the CEO. There's this
fascination and romanticizing of certain things. Good God, we really
need to get some Jesus three two three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson. Joe's your

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
We count them down. We do it every year in
some way, shape or form, whether it's Halloween movies or
Christmas songs or Christmas movies. Right now we're doing Christmas
songs and we've gotten to Numero uno, the number one,
the Big, the bad, the It's a timeless classic written

(01:43:21):
in a very short time by a woman and her
co writer, and she wanted this thing to be timeless classic,
like you could not believe. She wanted it to be
all that and a bag of chips and not be
stuck in the nineties. When she wrote it ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls, friends of all ages. Are you ready

(01:43:42):
for the number one Christmas song of all.

Speaker 28 (01:43:48):
Time?

Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
Merry Christmas?

Speaker 19 (01:43:53):
It's time for the Great Christmas Countdown the five greatest
Christmas Songs of all time.

Speaker 4 (01:44:03):
Number one, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:44:10):
Number one delivered in the nineties by a lady who's
had so many big hits, arguably the biggest female artist
of all time, and when she wrote this, she didn't
realize how big of a hit it was going to
come again, such a massive hit, such a huge hit,
such an incredible hit, that it also became annoying because

(01:44:32):
everybody wanted to get it going fast right around October.
So she decided, I have to come up with something
that says, you know, okay, now we can do it.
So she came up with this.

Speaker 20 (01:45:06):
Don't want, oh not for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:45:10):
That is just one thing.

Speaker 21 (01:45:15):
I don't care about the presents. I don't live the
Christmas tree. I just want you for my own. You
could info.

Speaker 22 (01:45:31):
Make my own wishc w F prism. You don't follow

(01:45:57):
Christmas is just want.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
I don't know what song is. Samariah carries all I
Want for Christmas? How can it not be and for
all the other great songs, and they're amazing, and they're incredible,
and you could have picked any one of those to
be the song. When you think about going back even
thirty years, a lot of these songs they don't have

(01:46:29):
the same kind of own that this still does. It
is the first holiday song in history to be certified Diamond.
It has tons of Guinness Book World Record holding, including
how long it stayed in the charts, and by the way,

(01:46:49):
it's in the charts again. It is incredible. It is
amazing and when you hear it, you just know it's
Christmas time. Currently, she's out on a big tour promoting it,
which is pretty damn cool. When she was asked about,
you know, the whole thing when it came to this,
why'd you you know, what'd you do a song like this?

Speaker 14 (01:47:13):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
You know, first of all, how long did it take you?

Speaker 23 (01:47:15):
I also read that you wrote that song or co
wrote that song in a matter of fifteen minutes, essentially
give or tay.

Speaker 16 (01:47:22):
Yeah, it was pretty fast working on it by myself.
So I was, you know, writing and on this little
cassio keyboard and writing down words and thinking about what
do I think of at Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
What do I Love? What do I want?

Speaker 14 (01:47:37):
What do I do you love?

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
Yeah? Just absolutely amazing, and she wanted something that would
be around forever.

Speaker 16 (01:47:44):
That was my goal was to do something timeless that
didn't feel like the nineties, which is when I wrote it.

Speaker 23 (01:47:49):
Why do you think this has such an enduring appeal?

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
I think it's because.

Speaker 1 (01:47:54):
I really truly love the holidays, like.

Speaker 32 (01:47:56):
It's not fake.

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
Well, I will tell you this right now. It is
a massive smash hit. It's made over eighty million dollars,
continues to make her about two to three million dollars
a year. Take away the money, though, makes us all smile,
and she can hit a high note like Nobody Briah

(01:48:24):
cart number one Christmas song of all time All I
Want for Christmas? I love it. That's your number one song.
We'll start working on these little thing called movie tomorrow
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter, Feel free to
tweet at us in texta program. I love hearing from
every single one of you. Like I said, starting tomorrow,

(01:49:08):
You know what that means, kids, Ah yeah, I know
it's time for the Gary Pucy moment of the day.

Speaker 9 (01:49:15):
You can answer your prayers yourself, and then your prayers
are answered in the complete circle of darth.

Speaker 2 (01:49:22):
Uncle Gary never lets us down as well. Let you
guys know that if you think he lets us down,
you are fooling yourself. Kids or Bucyism's right there. We
gotta leave you every day with a smile on your face,
and Uncle Gary delivers day in and day out. I
don't know what he said there, whether it was a
circle of love or circle of life, it doesn't matter
because it was spot on as always. I say, night

(01:49:43):
night Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:45):
