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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I don't know what's in the sky, but you better
figure it out because people are worried. I know it's
only New Jersey, but still it's mostly America. It's not
very nice, Jed, is what you're saying about New Jersey. No,
but let's be real, Okay, something's going on, and you

(00:34):
would think, for just to calm the nerves of some people,
all right, let's calm things down, that you would come
up with something better than I don't know what it is.
Your guess is as good as mine. That's not the
answer I want from our leaders. And this is getting
kind of weird because now over Connecticut, last night, California,

(00:59):
and again you go back to our people that are
supposed to be running this. The technology. It may be otherworldly,
it's probably not. It's probably one of ours. Like we
said yesterday adjacent. It's not technically a military thing, but
the military paid for it and they're testing it. But
you better figure it out because it's making everybody nervous

(01:22):
and you look like clowns.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
New Jersey Congressman Jeff and Drew, who claimed sources told
him the drones are coming from an offshore foreign mothership
yesterday accused the Pentagon of line.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
They're going to the ocean. They're not pontoons. They're not
landing on the water. They're landing on something.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
We're not being told the truth they are and dealing
with the American public life.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
We're stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Authorities in Washington acknowledge they don't know where the drones
are coming from, leaving many to ask, how do we
know they aren't a danger.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's a fair question, it is, And Kirby's just kind
of like, I'm pretty sure they're not Midsif could be,
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating
these sightings, and they're working closely with state and local
law enforcement to provide resources. We have no evidence at
this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national
security or a public safety threat.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
The United States Coast.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Guard is providing support to the state of New Jersey
and has confirmed that there is no evidence of any
foreign based involvement from coastal vessels.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, it's Department of Homeland Security, Marcus. The skies are secure,
they're going to be landing here any minute. But that's
not making a lot of people happy in New Jersey
because they are Basically, it feels like they're gaslighting these people.
It's a little play. It's this, it's they're nervous.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
I have to tell you if that's incredulous, I'm incredulous
about that. That is ridiculous. I would invite mister Kirby
to mind hill. Come on out, mister Kirby, and let's
let's go on out one night about nine thirty ten o'clock.
I'll go out behind my town hall and you can
count them with me all night.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's not just a small airplane. It's it's not a helicopter,
right like, that's what they're What is it? I don't know,
could be a meteor.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
When he says we don't have information that these are
credible threads or various things, it's because we have no information.
So if you have no information, you certainly can say
whatever you want about what's being presented to you.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's kind of it's thinking about. It's very vague. We
have no information it's anything bad. Could it be something bad?
We don't have any information on that. I'm not asking
if you had any information. I'm asking you, is therey
possibility that this could be something nefarious.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
There's one drone sitting still and it's pretty bright, and
the others are going back north and south in an
exact pattern. You can tell that they have GPS points programmed.
But then to them, because they don't deviate, they go
back and forth and back and forth over the same thing.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
You would be nervous or mean you think about it
if if it happened once, maybe think, oh, it's they're
testing something, it's something new. You know, could be one
of those taxi companies, because you know they're they're flying
taxi companies coming everywhere, so they all kind of come
and go and they get a lot of funding and
they disappear. But this is happening all the time. And
now you've got congress people who are saying stuff. Now

(04:11):
you've got senators. A Democratic senator is like shoot it down, blasted.

Speaker 7 (04:17):
Yeah, if it is.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
An ally something that's ours, what you do is you
would allow people the not telling anybody what it is,
but you allow them to go, hey, could you at
least give us a little something about this that makes
us feel a little bit better. They were not being
invaded by aliens or this isn't Iran, right, because that's

(04:40):
the other side. You have somebody coming out. So I've
got credible evidence according to super high uppers in the
higher Upper department who say that this is a mothership
of Iran. Well, if you really know, it's kind of
like something we've worked on, you come out and go.
We have credible out evidence that it's not with a wink,

(05:02):
but you better figure it out because people are getting
nervous and then somebody's going to take a shot at
one and if it is an alien, you could start
a global universe war. You don't want that. I'll tell
you that right now. Three two, three five, three h
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at his texta program. Meanwhile, we've got

(05:25):
our first copycat? What well, an attempt or threat to
be a copycat? What the hell were you thinking, lady?

Speaker 8 (05:34):
The nature of the threats, we would also be asking
for GPS or house for ext conditions to protect the community.

Speaker 9 (05:41):
With her head in her hands, Brianna Boston learned she
would be held in jail on one hundred thousand dollars bond,
the Pole County judge adding the bond was appropriate given
the quote status of our country.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
It's not like she's a child.

Speaker 10 (05:54):
She's forty two years old, you know, so we're not
dealing with a child here.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
She should certainly know better, Yeah, she should. So you've
got a forty two year old woman, right, and she's
in the you know, she's in the hamburglar outfit now
or whatever. You know, it's one of those zoom court hearings.
Is you know, she's got three kids, just got her
hands in her face because you did what You got
frustrated and you thought, you know what, how about a threat?

Speaker 9 (06:20):
Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor says his department was contacted
by the FBI Tuesday. Authority say in a recorded phone
call about a denied insurance claim, Boston told a Blue
Cross Blue Shield employee quote delayed, denied, depose you people
are next end quote. The language matches the words police
say were written on the shell casings found at the

(06:43):
United Healthcare CEO's murder scene in New York City.

Speaker 11 (06:46):
We will take this.

Speaker 10 (06:48):
Very seriously and we will put you in jail if
you do something like this. It is not a joke.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
No, it's not. It's not a joke. And what were
you think it was gonna happen. I mean, and by
the sounds of it, this is like serious, like they're
not playing around. This isn't one of those things where
they're gonna get slap you on the wrist. You just
upended your life. And we can all agree the frustration
we have. We can have frustration with the industry itself,

(07:16):
and there's plenty of reason to have frustration at time.
In fact, later on today we're going to talk to
her Aboudy Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Polishy Research,
because he's done deep dives in this for well since
before Obamacare. His statistics are crazy, but he's got a
story that is going to absolutely make you go, what
the blank because it is crazy, it really is. But now,

(07:41):
lady forty two, three kids, frustrated, you fly off the handle.

Speaker 9 (07:45):
According to Boston's affidavit, the mother of three told police
she did not own fire arms and was not a
danger to anyone, but she added healthcare companies played games
and deserved karma because they are evil, similar to the
acue shooter in Manhattan. Boston is getting support online from
people who say that she was just sharing her opinion
and should be protected by the First Amendment, but police

(08:08):
do not see it that way. She's facing a second
degree felony of written threat to kill or injure conduct
a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a serious
charge that could she could end up in prison for
fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
WHOA, that's not good. But people have turned him into
a superstar. And you know, they've got those wanted posters
all over in New York and every time somebody takes
one down, they put another one up. And you figured
somebody was going to take a run at something, and
this lady didn't really probably have a chance to do
anything like that. She was pissed, she was angry. She

(08:43):
probably wasn't going to go kill a bunch of people.
That being said, what did you think was gonna happen
when you started turning this guy into a rockstar.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
There is a lionization of him that's happening, not unlike
when you sometimes see like people who you know line
as them an Indez Brothers or Bundy back in the day.

Speaker 12 (09:01):
I mean they lionized David koresh Dy, lionised John Dillinger
daylion I's like you say, Ted Bundnedhaman and his brothers, killers, bombers.
You know, there's always a little segment of society that's
gonna say, oh, he's cwed, Oh I like him, I
want to marry him. People have been going to marry him,
people on death row, you know, since the twenties.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, I've done that. That's for damn sure. It's an
odd thing, right, you'd marry somebody on death row, but
or anywhere in jail like that. But there are people
out there, they're women, and I wonder I've often wondered,
is it because you know where they are all the time,
they're trapped, You're their only source of maybe happiness. It's
a weird thing. And that's just for the average I

(09:45):
mean the infamy side. I guess you can maybe see
that a little bit more than the other one, because
that person has got some sort of fame attached to them, right, Like,
if you're married to Menendez brother, that's probably a I
don't know, that's a conversation starter.

Speaker 12 (10:03):
And so it's it's really not new.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's see me.

Speaker 12 (10:06):
They're running to him for the you know, publicity of it.
Maybe there are feelings against the healthcare industry. You could
have feelings against the healthcare industry, but not you know,
lionized this guy a backshooter, a coward of the ultimate coward,
shooting the man down and cold blood in the back
of the sidewalk, and he lionizes Ted Kaczynski, who's a

(10:28):
coward as well, body unifomber sure, and he's reading him
for guidance.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
So that tells you a lot. And it goes back
to what I said yesterday and I've been saying since
I saw the video because I love Westerns. That's the
worst way you kill a man. Backshooting man you could
it could have been the most dangerous criminal in the West.
And if you shot him in the back and brought

(10:55):
him into town to collect the money, oh you'd get
the money. But everybody think you are a coward and
hate for it. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty

Speaker 2 (13:10):
So much stuff happened this week. I can't even remember
it all, but maybe we can listen and learn.

Speaker 13 (13:19):
Earlier this morning, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, members of the Altuna
Police Department arrested Luigi Mangioni.

Speaker 14 (13:26):
He was writing a lot about his sustained for Corporate
America and in particular to healthcare industry.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm not one hundred dollars walking in my hole. I
know how I'll say.

Speaker 15 (13:42):
The barber's burning old, go through my bargeting and do
my scam.

Speaker 7 (13:48):
I'm on the morning.

Speaker 16 (13:50):
I'll be.

Speaker 7 (13:52):
It's fine, I'm.

Speaker 15 (13:55):
I'm done my motor run again.

Speaker 17 (14:05):
This is iconic Monday Night football, the Simpsons.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
But they got a problem with her because at first
she didn't do anything wrong.

Speaker 16 (14:13):
Unfortunately, we can't just rely on the mainstream media to.

Speaker 7 (14:17):
Get our message across.

Speaker 18 (14:18):
Sometimes people are born genetically larger.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
It's time.

Speaker 19 (14:40):
I'll take a million court appearances and people will call
me names and people hating me, just to keep one
of those people from getting hurt or killed.

Speaker 20 (14:49):
These wonderful white people, I hope they celebrate their Christmas.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
We need some black vigilanties.

Speaker 17 (14:55):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
People want to jump up and choke us, kill us
for being loud.

Speaker 21 (15:02):
How about we do the same when they attempt to
oppress us.

Speaker 22 (15:07):
Right, I'm tired Foma.

Speaker 18 (15:23):
At this time, we have no evidence that these activities
are coming from a foreign entity.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Iran launched a mother ship.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
They often fly with their lights off, making them harder
to detect.

Speaker 23 (15:33):
Jator's rule came to a stunning end over the weekend
when Syrian rebels took the.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Capital three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter, your Instagram,
all the other things right here on the Chad Benson Show, The.

Speaker 24 (15:50):
Country now run by Abu Muhammad Algalani, the US considers
a terrorist.

Speaker 21 (15:54):
Joe Biden tended to be the most tragic figure in
modern American poult.

Speaker 13 (15:59):
Time magi is in getting this honor for the second time.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
I think I like it better at this time, actually do.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm so over this God holiday, Merry Christmas to you.
Trump got his Time magazine Person of the Year yesterday,
and the left's reaction to it across the board fantastic.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Better or for worse is not much of a ringing endorsement.
And we all know which one Trump falls under. And
let's remember who else has been given this title in
years past in the same category, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Iatolajoemeni,
and Vladimir Putin. In fact, Stalin won the distinction twice,
just like Trump, regardless of the company he keeps. We
know how important these magazine covers are to Trump. Just

(16:42):
look at this tour he gave the Washington Post in
twenty fifteen.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Of his Trump Tower office.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Will the wall adorned with his various cover appearances.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Joy read, ladies and gentlemen. She's so bitter, it's amazing.
And if Kamala would have won Person of the Year. Here,
do you think she'd have brought up Hitler or Stalin
or Ayatola Harmoni. No, so bitter it is. It's weird.
It's so bitter. I can feel it come out of

(17:14):
my my television and right here into my headphones. It's
just that bitter. You need some help, Hunt. I don't
know if we can get it to you. I don't
know how many steps you're gonna need to take on
this one to try to cut yourself and go cold
turkey on Trump. Gonna be tough. You might get some
sort of rehab. Just a suggestion if you're missiting the show,

(17:34):
the podcast. It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 11 (17:36):
Shown Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's funny. Over the last couple of days, the word butt.
It's very prominent in the debate of healthcare and most
importantly in the debate of the violence against healthcare CEOs
like the murder of Brian Thompson, which is this is

(18:22):
awful and horrible, but we should never do anything like this.
But a lot of that out there, AOC it's really.

Speaker 16 (18:32):
Important that we take a step back. Then. This is
not to say that an act of violence is.

Speaker 17 (18:38):
Justified.

Speaker 16 (18:39):
But I think for anyone who is confused or shocked
or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and
feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence
against them.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Oh so, well, if it's an act of violence against you,
then you should be justified in protecting yourself. Right. So
if they deny you your kidney transplant, just go over
and rip their kidney out. I don't think that's what
they're talking about. Oh, I'm just trying to figure it out. See,
it's the but scenario I did say. But that's when

(19:20):
I go on the record say this is abhorrent, it's horrible.
She never do.

Speaker 16 (19:23):
But when we kind of talk about how systems are
violent in this country in this passive way, our privatized
healthcare system is like that for a huge amount of Americans.
I mean, I did not have health insurance until I
got elected to Congress.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, it's expensive, it's ridiculous, Thank you Obamacare. It's not
a good situation. I don't think any of us are
thrilled by it. The free market is not free for
those of you out there, like I want the government
out of my healthcare. It isn't happening. By the way,
they've made it more expensive in many cases than other
countries that are socialized medice. It's crazy and it's frustrating,

(20:03):
and they're in the middle of it, and there it
drives us. It's the reason at times this thing is
so ridiculous. And we talked to Jim Kennedy in the
third hour because he and I have talked about this
for years, because he's been a huge advocate of patient's rights.
He wrote a patient's Bill of Rights way back in
twenty fourteen. He is a big healthcare kind of like

(20:26):
guru in stuff like this. It's his personal story though
that you're gonna go, are you blank and kidding me
when it comes to this speaking of healthcare and all
of that. Again, that's in the third hour, this whole
you know, this whole thing with them lionizing this guy,
and there's still so much we don't know because it's

(20:49):
a very fluid, as they like to say, situation, But
we're learning a lot of stuff about him.

Speaker 25 (20:58):
First and foremost young man charged with murdering Brian Thompson
was never a client of United Healthcare. But this morning
police say they're investigating whether Luigi Menngioni targeted the company
because of its size. The company tells ABC News Brian
Thompson's killer was not a member of United Healthcare. The
nypdtailing NBC New York. Manchioni did, however, mention it's the

(21:19):
fifth largest corporation in America.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
So you did what? So this it is insane. So
this is again goes back to my anti capitalism that
I talk about. You're talking about the fact that it's
the fifth largest, so you went after its healthcare whatever,
blah blah blah. The best you weren't even a member.
They didn't deny you. There was none of that correupt
You weren't even a member. Oh my god, just eh,

(21:45):
just should we be shocked.

Speaker 25 (21:46):
His supporters are donating tens of thousands of dollars to
online legal defense funds, including one set up anonymously on
givesen Go, The group saying we are not here to
celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right
to fair legal representation.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Which is absolutely one hundred percent What you need to
do is you need to have fair legal representation. Nobody
denies that one hundred percent true on that, But the
fact that people are giving to it, not because they
feel he is wrongly accused, but because they feel he
spoke for them in some ways, and he is the

(22:25):
voice of the anger in this country, which is just
a bunch of bunk you weren't even in. That's the
thing again, that goes to the thing that we've talked
about with the anti capitalism. This is far more than
health care, far more than healthcare. He targeted them because
they were the fifth largest employer in the country. He

(22:48):
didn't say healthcare company, fifth largest employer. Frustrating. Indeed, hey, kids,
speaking of frustrating, what's going on?

Speaker 23 (23:00):
YouTube is once again raising the price of its TV
streaming service. YouTube tv surged in popularity with its low
cost service, prompting millions to cut the cord on their
cable TV packages. When it launched in twenty seventeen, a
subscription ran thirty five dollars a month. It jumped to
fifty dollars by twenty nineteen, then to seventy three dollars
last year, and beginning next month, it will cost eighty

(23:22):
three dollars a month. One critic on x writing congrats
to YouTube tv for evolving into the very thing it's
swore to destroy, adding the hashtag full circle.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah. Well, this is the frustration that a lot of
people feel is it was all about cutting the cord.
Now you're spending far more money than you probably are
than cutting the cord, because now that everybody splintered, the
thing that you got in one place that was you
felt was a little too damn expensive, Now you have

(23:51):
to spend X amount of dollars in several places to
get those things.

Speaker 23 (23:57):
It's not just YouTube TV and July Peacock increased it's
premium subscription by twenty dollars to eighty dollars a year.
In October, Disney ABC's parent company, reas prices for Disney Plus,
Hulu and ESPN Plus as for Netflix users. One Wall
Street analyst predicts a robust price hike coming in the
new year.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh boy, how exciting is that going to be? I
so I've got way too many. I know that we
got the Disney ESPN Plus bundley. Do I don't know
if it's called a bundley? Do it should?

Speaker 7 (24:26):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (24:27):
You've got I mean I don't. We've got Netflix, we've
got Hulu, we've got YouTube. But I have that because
I have the football package. We have way too damn much.
It's just you start looking at you're like, my god,
we've we've nickeled and dined ourselves to more than we
spent just on regular you know, direct TV or whatever.

Speaker 20 (24:51):
They were looking at ways to cut costs of what
it was to consume cable television. But the fact of
the matter is that it costs more, ever, and it
almost doesn't matter where you get your TV from right now.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Nope, remember the whole great days when you could just
wire into your neighbor's house and steal their basic cable.
You can't do that anymore. You can't. You shouldn't have
you can't. They used to be like, really, like you
would get in serious trouble if you did that back
of the day. That's not something you want to tell
somebody in jail. What are you in for? I stole
someone's basic cable? What you ladies and gentlemen. We have

(25:30):
a recall alert. I repeat, we have a recall alert.
If you have a Stanley cup and not the one
you win playing hockey. Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Here's why they recalled.

Speaker 26 (25:41):
People fill these cups up with hot drinks like my
favorite coffee, of course, and it could cause the lids
to shrink, and people would then burn themselves trying to
get a sip.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Stanley has received.

Speaker 26 (25:51):
Ninety one reports worldwide, including sixteen in the US, of
those lids coming off and with at least eleven people
needing medical attention. Recalled mugs were sold at stores like Amazon, Walmart,
dig Sporting Goods, and Target from June twenty sixteen until
this month.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
You heard it here, I saved you. You got somebody
something like that for Christmas, make sure that you unwrap
it and take it back. Don't want to give them
something to faulty, and I don't want you to get sued.
How much I care about you? Three two, three, five,

It is time for the greatest Christmas Action movie of

(27:57):
all time controversy. Maybe we discussed chat Ben to.

Speaker 27 (28:03):
Joe Fronnie with Scissors sounds great compared to.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
This same We're counting down the greatest Christmas movies of
all time, and we're doing it by genre, and then
on our last show of the year, we will do
it the Greatest Christmas Movie of all time. So yesterday
I read horror, Today we're doing action and with action. Well,
you know the great debate in Hollywood about this one

(28:42):
or not this one? Is it or isn't it? Merry Christmas?

Speaker 24 (28:51):
It's time for the Great Christmas countdown, the five greatest
Christmas Movies of all time.

Speaker 7 (29:01):
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
I felt the animal.

Speaker 28 (29:03):
Surprised Eddie if I woke up tomorrow with my head
son in the car. But I wouldn't be more surprised
than I am right now.

Speaker 17 (29:11):
I should.

Speaker 7 (29:13):
You should your eye out?

Speaker 22 (29:14):
Kid?

Speaker 10 (29:15):
What is ju want?

Speaker 7 (29:15):
Barry?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
What do you want?

Speaker 7 (29:17):
You want?

Speaker 22 (29:17):
The moon?

Speaker 29 (29:18):
Just say the word and I'll throw a asshole around
and pug down the.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Great Christmas debate, is it or isn't it a Christmas movie?
Depends on who you ask. Maybe or maybe it isn't
But you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 30 (29:35):
Oh yeah, it's Christmas Eve.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's Christmas Eve in La California.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well we'll see what Santa and Mommy can do.

Speaker 10 (29:48):
The King, the New York cop John McLean, has come
to see his wife.

Speaker 30 (29:54):
Instead, He's going to have to save her. Within this
guy scraper high about the city, twelve terrorists have declared war.

Speaker 10 (30:07):
In the pair of arch between Less the real abuse
of power. Only John can try.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Somebody's that crazy.

Speaker 10 (30:16):
He's an easy guy to like, come into the colt
to get together, and a hard man to kill. Bruce
Willis die hard got.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Invite it to the Christmas party?

Speaker 10 (30:28):
Bomb Steak who knew?

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Is it or isn't it? Now? It depends on who
you talk to. Bruce Willis tried to settle it once
and for all. Iheard is not a Christmas movie. But
it depends because maybe the person that is the ultimate

(30:52):
in the say is it or isn't it? Is guy
named Jeremy Arnold, who is a historian. I got a
great book out about all the great Christmas movies of
all time, And he and Jake Tapper last year went
on and on and by the way, Jake Tapper said
in the middle of interview, you know, I could do
two hours of die Hard. It's like its favorite movie
all time. And whether or not it is or isn't

(31:13):
a Christmas movie, And this is what Jeremy had to say.

Speaker 8 (31:16):
Well, first of all, when people say Diehard is not
a Christmas movie and the other side must be insane
for thinking it is, what that dispute is really about
is definition. Both sides are defining the term Christmas movie
very differently, and so for someone it may really not
be a Christmas movie, and that's fine for them, but
for the rest of us it is. And the reason

(31:36):
I think it is is that it begins as the
most common type of Christmas movie, which is some version
of a dysfunctional or estranged family trying to reconcile on Christmas.
In this case John and Holly McLain. Holly, I'd like
to write, yes, her name's Holly, Yes, change from the
source material her name was Stephanie. So that is the

(31:58):
story that is happening before the terrorists come and take
over Knakotomi Plaza. And what that does is it grounds
the audience to see the whole movie that follows through
the prism of this Christmas time family reconciliation story.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
So and he's kind of right, you know, and they
talk about, look, without Christmas, there wouldn't have been the
packages that saved the day, you know, and the whole
I mean, you go through the whole thing and the
music and all. Yes, to me, it's a Christmas movie,
but I think the big issue was it wasn't. It

(32:35):
didn't open during Christmas time. So even though it was
set on Christmas and originally it was supposed to be
set over three days. Some of the facts that maybe
didn't know, but originally when they wrote this and by
the way, this movie was adapted from a book, and
it was originally meant from Frank Sinatra way back in

(32:57):
the day in the early sevens seventies to play, but
he decided not to, which is kind of interesting. It
was based on the Roderick Thorpe novel Nothing Lasts Forever
die Hard. It's really a sequel to The Detective, and
he turned it down. One of the other reasons this

(33:20):
movie is so awesome is because Bruce Willis is incredible.
But he was not the first pick Neop Noop, Noop, Noop, Noop.
Number six Richard Gear, Harrison Fords, Sylvester Sloan, Burt Reynolds,
Handeld Schwartzenegga all declined it. They said, nah, we're not

(33:41):
going to do it. At one time Clint East would
actually own the rights to do the movie, but decided
not to so. Of the other interesting fact, Hans Gruber
played by the Great Alan Rickman, the late great Alan Rickman.
That was his first big, big role in a major
motion picture. He'd been mostly a stage actor to play

(34:03):
Hans Krueber, which in the movie if you watch the
movie compared to the VHS tape, in the movie, they're
not speaking German. In fact, they're not saying anything. It's
all gibberish. They had to fix it. And when if
you were in Germany and you saw the movie, instead
of it saying Germans, it just says random European bad

(34:25):
Guys is what their title is, which is hilarious, random
European bad Guys. Final scene mclannin Kruber, the big fight
in the whole nine yards that was all ad libbed.
And one of the interesting things is Alan Rickman's fall
at the end was absolute fear and surprise, so they

(34:45):
had him hooked up. It was going to be a
forty foot drop. They dropped him early as to surprise him.
So that look is genuine fear, which is pretty damn cool.
One of the other things that's awesome about that is
it's actually Fox Plaza, Naomi Nakatomi Towers. It's actually Fox

(35:08):
Plaza in twentieth century Fox. They use their stuff. They
figure we might as well just shoot here at night.
Doesn't cost us anything. Oh spectacular, indeed, absolutely incredible, And
of course the great line Yippie Kaye was only meant
to be a joke. Number one Christmas Action movie of
all time is die Hard three two, three, five, three eight,

(35:33):
your Twitter tweet at us texta program right here on
The Chad Benson Show coming up, second hour more of
Drone Gate because there seems to be something there. And
now they're in Connecticut, California, New Jersey and it feels

(35:54):
like the White House is like me, I'm not quite
sure what they are. Hey becomes Biden's rallying cry, what
is it?

Speaker 12 (36:04):
Man?

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Now you're getta figured it out? Probably not good? God,
it is, I mean as much as it's fascinating of
what is it? The response is as fascinating, which there
doesn't seem to be a lot of urgency. If you're
miss any of the show, grab the podcast Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 31 (36:53):
This killing has unleashed a huge outpouring of anger directed
at the health insurance industry after decades of denied claims
and appeals and all the hoops and red tape they
make you go through, and it's resonating many healthcare executives.
The CEOs want you to know that they hear your
frustration and they are doing something about it. They're hiring

(37:15):
private security. Your grandma can drop dead.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Oh look at you, Jimmy, And I remember when Jimmy's
kid had heart surgery, and I look, I knew Kimmel
way way back in the day when he was a
sports guy at an alternative rock station on the Kevin
and Bean Show. He was not Jimmy Kimmel that you know.

(37:40):
In fact, Adam Carolla was a bit player playing this
guy called mister Bertram, which I think now is a
cartoon that's like, that's how long ago it was, and
he's definitely changed, but he gave that heartfelt thing about
his kid, and look, I get it. Health insurance is

(38:03):
so infuriating at times, and I understand why people on
both sides are pissed because seventy percent of people are
happy with their insurance. And then do you use it Nope, Okay,
well that's why you're happy with it. Is frustrating as hell.

(38:25):
No transparency, and I think we all understand that. But
the thought that this was only about healthcare is wrong.
This is about capitalism. It's not just about health care. Healthcare,
and and and know that people on the left who

(38:49):
don't like capitalism see healthcare as an absolute right. As
an absolute we don't let people starve and die on
the streets in this country. We don't. They'll take you
to the hospital, they will, and you'll get fixed up

(39:11):
and put out there. The frustration comes from us exhausted
majority pay our premiums and get frustrated when we get
denied claims or we end up having to cover this
or or cover that, because even though we've paid our
deductible up and everything, this was out of network and
that was the only It's just it's infuriating and when

(39:34):
you hear the story. And we're going to talk to
Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research next hour,
because he's really big into healthcare and he is he
wants to find a solution, as does a lot of
people what is the happy medium. But his experience last
year in particular, and he's been on this for well

(39:56):
over a decade writing about it, but his experience about
his time going to the hospital and what the surprise
bill was and how it ended up being is it'll
make you go are you kidding me? And speaking are
you kidding me? Luigi, the killer of the CEO, allegedly well,

(40:19):
he was frustrated with the healthcare industry CHA had, especially
United Healthcare because they probably denied him.

Speaker 25 (40:24):
The young man charged with murdering Brian Thompson was never
a client of United Healthcare, but this morning police say
they're investigating whether Luigi Mengioni targeted the company because of
its size. The company tells ABC News Brian Thompson's killer
was not a member of United Healthcare. The nypdtailing NBC
New York Manchioni did, however, mention it's the fifth largest

(40:45):
corporation in America.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
That's why it's anti capitalists. Got to tear down the system,
gotta break it. It's bad, it's evil. People only get
ahead by crushing others. Nobody else gets anything out of it,
taking advantage of people and they're worth, and limiting them

(41:09):
in their life by stepping on them on the way
up to your greed of riches. And people are echoing
that throughout the web.

Speaker 32 (41:18):
I'm not sure, but we may be experiencing a watershed moment,
something that is so broad and so deep. It has
consequences that we don't fully understand when it happens things
like Pearl Harbor and nine to eleven. Think through what
just happened. A handsome, upper class, white male IVY League
graduate with irreparable and debilitating chronic pain appears to have

(41:39):
three D printed a ghost gun with a silencer and
used it too without support from anyone else, execute a
Wall Street CEO.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Okay, that's what they did again. He've three D printed it.
So I want to put that out there. But here's
where it gets to the capitalism part.

Speaker 32 (41:55):
The thing that stands out is this crime that robbed
the people in power all of their go to excuses.
This wasn't an immigrant, it wasn't a stolen gun, it
wasn't a person who's mentally ill. This was the collision
of two previously unrelated instances of late stage capitalism, unregulated healthcare,
and completely unregulated weapons. This was the Republican deregulation machine

(42:19):
attacking itself, and it's already sending shockwaves across every platform.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
I'm on, well, I will tell you this. First of all,
of course, the gun's unregulated. There's nothing you could do.
What are you gonna do? Are you going to regulate
three D printing? Is that what you're gonna do? It's
the left thing. Let's go in a regulator. So you're
not gonna sell printers. You're gonna have special licenses to
get printers. Now that's you. Watch what happens. They're going
to start doing that. They're going to come up with
the way that you're going to have to give every

(42:45):
ounce of blood DNA to get a printer. Because somebody
did something horrific and I don't know if i'd buy
the I'm in horrific pain bs as he wasn't a
member of you. I did healthcare, and he was doing
all of the things right, like he was surfing, he

(43:08):
was doing this, that and the other. Maybe his back
was bad at times, maybe it wasn't. A lot of
us have had bad backs. But you weren't even a member.
It wasn't like they denied you service. You went after
them because of it being what the fourth or fifth
largest corporation in America. You hear that guy, this is

(43:28):
the last throes of capitalism. It's not. It's not. Everybody
wants to blame capitalism on stuff. You know, who messes
up capitalism and government?

Speaker 7 (43:38):
Why?

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Because they're in it all the time. And much like
trying to regulate our speech, well, stiff's information misinformation, we
don't want you you may not be smart enough to
understand it. It's the same thing with capitalism. The free
market is not that free because they don't want you
to get hurt or taken advantage of. Ah, it's because

(44:01):
you're not smart enough to make up your own mind,
so they're gonna nanny you to death.

Speaker 32 (44:05):
So here's what I need to see from the leader
who's willing to say it. Skip The calls for violence
in all of its forms must be condemned. That's honestly
no different from saying thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting.
Take this unique opportunity to lead us through the challenges
that have just been forced into the spotlight, because when
we take the necessary steps here, there is no way

(44:25):
we walk out without greater conviction for healthcare reform and
gun control. But these are the kinds of things that
polished politicians want to avoid.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
And remember the big thing on the left when it
comes to gun control, right, like, who's the one they're
gonna end up controlling? Because it's not the criminals. This
was a lone actor who printed something. He didn't go
and buy a gun legally, he didn't even purchase one
off the streets. He three D printed it. Oh what

(45:00):
are you going to do to regulate that? Secondly, when
it comes to healthcare reform, you want the government more
in it because whenever I ask people about this, so
what is your idea, Well, the government takes control. So
tell me what happens at that point. Well, there's no
profit in okay, So there's no profit in it, So

(45:22):
why would anybody do it at that point in time?
Because they love it? And who gets to decide who
gets what? Because we're a nation, as you can already
tell that has very little patience for waiting around. So

(45:44):
if you're pissed trying to get into your doctor, now,
imagine what it's like trying to get into your doctor
where it may take you five months. Eh, and they're
already in it. They are. The government is as culpable
for the cost of health insurance as the people that

(46:04):
everybody have deemed now evil, because they've allowed them to
first craft the bill and secondly and most importantly, regulate
it to the point where it's not a free market.
And people say, well, free market capital is not working.
Look at this, it's not free. I'm captured. If I'm
in this state, this is the state I can go to.

(46:27):
That's it. I can't shop across state lines. I can't
do any of those things. That's not a free market.
Imagine if you're in a situation where it's like coke, right,
and all you can buy is coke and coke products,
and you find that in some stores right, in some
restaurants and stuff. But I can go cross street and

(46:49):
get a coke if I want to. But in this place,
we're a pepsi company or whatever. But imagine if you
couldn't do that as far as everywhere you go in
the state, all you could get was coke and you
wanted a pepsi or vice versa. Going to be frustrating
as hell, and that's kind of what they've done. You're

(47:14):
stuck and captured with whatever it is that you have,
and that angers a lot of people who are like me,
free market. Let me shop around and find what's best,
because if I'm competing, if there's twenty five people competing
as opposed to three, well guess what happens. I can

(47:37):
put myself in a position to find the best deal
for me financially and the best coverage for what I
can afford. It's gonna give me a lot more options
with twenty five than three three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three. At Chad Benson's show, it's your

starts having the world of Google today. Shall we let's
do a chat. Let's find out what's going on a

(51:04):
Kekele so biggest trending thing Astro bought. DeVante Campbell, you
know who he is. He decided he didn't want to
play football last night. They said he's a linebacker for
the forty nine ers. They told him, hey, we need you,
and he said, nah, I don't want to play, and
then he just walked off Toalover's head into the locker room.

(51:26):
Like the third quarter. I think it's safe to say
you're no longer going to be a forty nine er
in a little while, Lebron James, the Rams, James Kennedy,
not my buddy. Jim will join us later, totally different.
Billboard Music Awards. YouTube and your price increase, you have
price increase. YouTube. Everything's going up.

Speaker 22 (51:50):
Man.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
You'd promise this Trump that wasn't going to happen Biden administration.
By the way, if you want to buy some of
the wall, it's for sale, not the wall that's up,
the stuff that would build the wall. They're auctioning it
off because nobody loves to waste your money like they do. Ooh,
it's not very nas Chad, No, but it's honest. I'll

(52:12):
tell you that right now. Three two, three, five, three
eight twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your Twitter tweet at a text the program? God,
it's so true. Waste of money, you guys, we don't
do that here on the Chad Benson Show. We don't
have money to waste. That's why it's insane. Right, So

(52:37):
they're auctioning off like there was all this material that
was there and Trump could never get it built because
God knows what whoever was throwing up a roadblock here
in a roadblock there, the battle that went on in
this first administration, so so much of it just sat
there and now by and is going to auction it

(53:00):
off again. So what's that mean? People are gonna get
stuff at pennies on the dollar because government will buy, right,
they'll pay, They're gonna pay retail, and then they're gonna
sell it at pennies on the dollar. And then when
Trump goes to build his wall and finish up the
rest of it, we'll buy again at retail. See the

(53:22):
way that works. Jeez, that's the stuff the Doge is
gonna be able to do some stuff with. It's gonna
be tough, Though's watching a great interview yesterday with Lex
Freeman and soccer. You're gonna do soccer? Is he and
Crystal host breaking points, but he said, look as great

(53:43):
as Elon and the thekar and they're gonna be able
to do some stuff. They're gonna run into a bureaucracy
like they've never seen before, and a mite that is
I mean, it is the US government. It's the bureaucracy,
it's those employees. Good luck to you kids. I'll tell
you that you're gonna need it. It's the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show, Little Kids in

(54:43):
the Air.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
What is it?

Speaker 7 (54:44):
It is?

Speaker 2 (54:45):
White House? What is that? Nothing? What we don't know?
Did you say we don't know? That's nothing? Are you sure?
I'm not sure.

Speaker 33 (54:56):
Amid increasing concern over drone sidings, White House National Security
spoke when John Kirby says the Coast Guard has looked
into it.

Speaker 5 (55:02):
There is no evidence of any foreign based involvement from
coastal vessels.

Speaker 33 (55:07):
And Kirby says what people think are drones might actually
be helicopters and planes.

Speaker 6 (55:11):
Come on out, mister Kirby.

Speaker 33 (55:13):
Mayor Sam Morris of mine Hill, New Jersey, tells ABC
News he saw devices hovering.

Speaker 6 (55:17):
Sorry, that's not a man small airplane, it's not a Cessna.

Speaker 33 (55:20):
Lawmakers of both parties say the Biden administration should be
doing more. One Democrat says the flying object should be
shot down if necessary.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
All right, government, let me tell you how you do this.
When when the people are concerned and they're not quite
sure what's going on, and you've got several congress people
and senators that are showing concern, You've got several people

(55:50):
who are local officials who are showing concern, and they're
going over not just houses but places that we have BAE.
Maybe when they ask you, is this a foreign invader?
Should we be worried? And you're like, probably not. That's

(56:12):
not the answer they're looking for. They're looking for something
a little bit more confident. We're like four twenty, probably not.
But you know, things can happen. That's not the answer.
Welcome to Biden's White House, is it? And I said
this yesterday. I continue to say this. Although there's what

(56:35):
spotting in California last night, some over Connecticut last night
as well. Some of those may be just people goofing around.
I get it, but people are feeling a little uneasy,
especially out there and you telling them that it's a
helicopter when they know what a helicopter looks like, or

(56:56):
it's a Cessna and your answer is we're pretty mostly
it's so. Yeah, So the coast Guard went and looked
at it and they're pretty cool, like they get the
white uniforms and everything. That's so so they said probably not.
That's not a good answer right there. That doesn't evoke confidence,
is what I'm trying to tell you. So Trump has

(57:20):
got his people he's trying to get through. We recognize that.
And yesterday John Fetterman surprised everybody by both both joining
Truth Social and when asked about meeting Pete Heg Sith
said this, all.

Speaker 34 (57:36):
I am saying is the Democrats or other people can
freak out over anyone that was nominated, and I am
not that guy, and I'm open to have a conversation
for whoever.

Speaker 6 (57:50):
That's I mean, especially.

Speaker 34 (57:52):
A really important ones like yesterday I met with Representative
Stephanich and I was going to vote for her and
Rubio another paper.

Speaker 29 (58:00):
People.

Speaker 34 (58:01):
You know, there are people that we may agree on
a lot of things or disagree on other things, but
if these people are going to hold these kinds of offices,
and we are in the business of working and getting
along with people that disagree with some of the things
we have, and we try to find the things that
we can possibly agree on for the best possible outcomes.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Yes, best possible outcomes. John Fetterman, Yeah, and CNN then
Dana Bash and Gloria Borgia, we're talking about this and
because he went on to said, you know, hey, that
whole thing with Trump being convicted with you know, the
hush money and all that, this is all BS. All
of that is BS. And it was very interesting what

(58:44):
they had to say, especially Gloria Borgia and.

Speaker 18 (58:47):
Back here at the table. The way that John Fetterman
approaches politics, he's not only doing it because he believes
it's right for him and for the way he represents Pennsylvania.
He's trying to show Democrats a way to deal with
the world in the world that Trump basically runs right.
I mean, the last thing he did before the election,

(59:10):
he was not on the ballot, but before election days
he went on Joe Rogan and he talked to him
for a very long time. Now he's on Truth Social
and wrote the following My first truth the Trump hush
money and Hunter Brden cases where both bs and pardons
are appropriate. Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant partisan gain diminishes
the collective faith in our institution.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
Now, listen to what Gloria Borsh just says here again,
big time political pundit being honest. Now it's like, all right,
we're saying that part out loud now about Trump.

Speaker 35 (59:39):
Well, the most interesting thing he said to Monu, to
me is that Donald Trump won Pennsylvania, and he's a
senator from Pennsylvania, and so he joined Truth Social He
spoke his mind about that case, which, by the way,
a lot of Democrats privately share that opinion, but have
him said it publicly. And I think what he's doing

(59:59):
is he's zero abasing everything he's saying. You know, I'm
gonna come at this as a neutral party because this
guy won. He won the popular vote, and I've got
to I've got to give it a shot, and I'll
disagree where I disagree. He didn't commit to supporting HEXA.
He just committed to listening to him.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Which is what you should be doing. No, and not
the most important thing was he won Pennsylvania. Whatever. The
most important thing is, You've got Democrats that you work
with that. Go, oh yeah, I was totally BS. But
they won't say that out loud because people will be
mad at them. And now they're worried that it's going
to be used against them and that they're going to

(01:00:37):
weaponize the Department of Justice or whatever. So infuriating and
frustrating it really is. I just, man, I tell you
what it is. It should piss us all off. It
really should. They know it was BS, and yet here
they go. Now that it's over, they know Trump's never

(01:01:01):
going to jail, and now that he's back in office,
they can spew the stuff they want to spew on
the MSNBC's of the world and the CNNs and the
people freak out over stuff. But the reality is set in. Look,
we threw everything against the wall. It's gonna take away
your democracy. He's gonna do all these kind of things.
He's gonna destroy everything, and we couldn't stop him. And yeah,

(01:01:23):
we've got to admit it. Man, it was boloney. It's crap.
It was so alas what are you gonna do? How
about have a conversation and do what's best for your
constituents in America? Pretty simple, I said it, and I've
been saying it for a while, not just because he
wears a hoodie and shorts, but John Fetterman is my

(01:01:47):
liberal spirit him. He surprised everybody. He went from a Trustafarian,
so he called him guy that grew up with some money,
didn't really work, never really had a job. It was
a mayor of a town where I think he got
a buck a year. It's like one of those towns
where like the dog was the mayor before him. I

(01:02:09):
think he'd lived in a house that his brother bought
and sold to him or his sister. I mean it was,
you know, with it like Harvard or Yale. I mean,
he was definitely one of those people you're like, oh,
it's really progressive, you know, upper middle class kind of
and lo and behold, because I think he looks at
Trump and he goes, uh that right there. I'm a

(01:02:31):
bit like that. I'm a bit like that guy because
I am a little bit anti establishment, kind of do
my own thing and don't listen to anybody and go
with my gut. They may disagree on some stuff, but
there's a lot we agree on. And there's an interesting
u chenk Uger and Kasparian of the Young turks on

(01:02:55):
with like a video cast of Glenn. They're all sitting
around talking and it is refreshing. Two progressives and Glenn
Beck having a conversation. That is great to watch because

there coming up our man, Zach Abrahm, Chief Investment Officer Capital,
very interesting story that's out there right now and he
is arguing with the Bitcoin bros. Straight ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
I like, yeah, so what it's the Jad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
It is that time of the week. We talked to
our Buddyes, Zach a Ram, Chiefvestment Officer Board Capitol, friend
of the show, sponsor of the show, and came across
something interesting. He and I've been kind of chatting back
and forth about it, and I want to find out
what it's like on the side that he is on
and it's about bitcoin, but bitcoin in a much different way.

(01:05:44):
So there's a company called micro Strategies and their CEO,
his name is Michael Saylor. This company is in debt.
They do a little bit of revenue for the average person,
it's a lot of revenue, but they're really in debt.
But what they've done is they've sold via convertible debt
securities all of this, all of these you know, like

(01:06:07):
bonds and whatnot. And what they've done is they've taken
all that money and they've bought bitcoin. And they're just
buying bitcoin left, right and center. And watching Zach argue
with these people who are the you know, the worship
at the you know, the foot of bitcoin has been
very interesting because he's trying to tell them that this

(01:06:29):
isn't going the way you think it's going to go.
Isact they've got to hate your guns.

Speaker 21 (01:06:34):
Yeah, And I get told I'm an idiot and I
hate bitcoin, and so I don't understand it and I'm
a fiat you know, have fun being poor and you
know' and it's so frustrating because you're like, listen, I'm
not trying to I'm not trying to troll you.

Speaker 7 (01:06:49):
I'm not trying to call.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
You an idiot.

Speaker 21 (01:06:51):
I'm literally, you know, not every everybody. Everybody's got different intentions,
and everybody's in different businesses for different reasons. And I
love what I do, but there's also a passion to
try to save people from getting their head ripped off,
right like, because there's so many scammers out there, and
so you'll engage in these conversations, not being snarky at all,

(01:07:12):
just sitting there telling them, no, listen, I don't think
you understand the way equity works. You have no you know,
just walking them through it, and it's just, yeah, you
don't understand it. You're an anti bitcoiner. And I'm like,
we own millions of dollars a bitcoin here. I'm not
anti bitcoin. I but this makes no sense. This guy
is anti you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Yeah. Well, I mean, what do they thinks can happen
so you're never gonna sell it? I mean, do they
actually do anything that produces revenue outside of now just
becoming a full time bitcoin bond selling you know, coupon
selling company.

Speaker 21 (01:07:43):
Well they do, but I mean, so you know, if
they accomplish their goals, I mean, and don't quote me,
Like I said, I haven't done it. I've done barely
any work on the actual company itself. Because you know,
whether or not they do eight hundred million in revenue
or two point four billion in revenue, it doesn't matter
because you got forty billion on the back balance sheet
of bitcoin.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Right.

Speaker 21 (01:08:01):
So bottom line is whatever the underlying company does doesn't matter. Right,
it's not big enough to service the dad. It's not
big enough to impact the whole company is just a
bitcoin bet, right, That's all.

Speaker 7 (01:08:11):
That's all it is.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
My thought process is, so you're going to buy eighty
ninety million dollars in bitcoin and you're never going to
sell it, and you're going to hope it goes up.
And what's the goal at the end of the day
with the bitcoin?

Speaker 7 (01:08:27):
See, this is the thing I like.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
This is the thing I've always had a trouble with.

Speaker 21 (01:08:31):
Right. I love the ethos and the and the elegant
design behind bitcoin. It really, it really is a marvel
of a creation. It The engineering was unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
It's brilliant. It's brilliant.

Speaker 21 (01:08:46):
It's brilliant. Where I have a problem is when we
start saying the market cap of bit and these guys
are out there by the way, mark Bitcoin's going to
thirteen million, five million, and you look at him and go,
why guys, Just because another asset in the world is
being degraded does not mean that another asset in the

(01:09:10):
world is going up in a commensurate level. That's not
how this works, right, it's just not. Second of all,
governments can't stop it, really really, you think so. But
if bitcoin becomes a serious all and that's it's the
future of money, No, it's not. Nobody's using bitcoin as money.

(01:09:31):
They're hodling it, right, it's not even it's not even
achieving its use case at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Yeah, it's a collector's item that you never want to sell,
that you hope goes up in value, and you're never
going to sell it. You're painting on the wall. A
van goes painting maybe worth fifteen million dollars, but right
now it's just sitting on the wall, and it does
you no good.

Speaker 21 (01:09:51):
Everybody's sitting there telling you how great it is and
you need to own it, but nobody is using it
in the way of how like so they're oh, it
does all these things, this is why it's so great,
But nobody uses.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
It that yeah, Well, it's like it's a currency, it's
it's all the things I need, I could buy stuff with.
Why don't you.

Speaker 7 (01:10:05):
It's a dream catcher.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 21 (01:10:07):
What we've called it a dream or we've called it
like and we've called it a dreamhanger, right, meaning it's
it's amorphous enough to where anybody can extrapolate and graft
their dreams.

Speaker 7 (01:10:21):
And hopes onto it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Right, And that's that and then it goes up.

Speaker 21 (01:10:24):
And so, like I said, do we own some Yeah,
because in a world of fiat to the bitcoin people's credit.
In a world of fiat currency where these guys are
just going to keep printing an infinitem, is it possible to.

Speaker 17 (01:10:35):
Bitcoin go to a million?

Speaker 10 (01:10:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Do we own a lot of it?

Speaker 7 (01:10:37):
No, because you don't need to.

Speaker 21 (01:10:39):
If something is if you think something's gonna ten or
fifteen X, guess what the luxury you've got is, you
don't need a lot. Well anyway, it's one of those
things where you don't really know about it. But so
I've got no problem with people holding some bitcoin or whatever.
I'm just now I'm also not saying that stock couldn't
double a triple from now. The fact that that stock's
trading where it is is just proof that nobody really
cares about the fundamentals. So what I'm telling you is

(01:11:03):
this isn't new.

Speaker 13 (01:11:05):
Right.

Speaker 21 (01:11:06):
History is replete with stories of guys levering up balance
sheets to buy non cash flowing assets, and every bloody
time it ends the same way.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
This is not a new strategy. So well, we'll see.

Speaker 21 (01:11:20):
But man, I'll tell you there's there's You know, I
thought these markets were frothy and richly priced in twenty nineteen.

He did it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
Really deep dive into the healthcare industry about a decade ago,
and he's got some very interesting data points about cost,
including a case study of him, which I think you
will find interesting, and I do mean it is very interesting.
We'll do that a lot of other things. Is the

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
For all the craziness surrounding the Luigi killer of Brian Thompson,
the alleged killer excuse me, I don't want him assume
me alleged killer of Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare.
And there's plenty of crazy and we'll get to it.
Did You probably didn't see. It was late Wednesday and
early Thursday that this gained a little traction, not as

(01:13:56):
much as it should have, and it's now picking up
more traction just because it was so odd. News Nation
one of the few places I go and look because
I believe they're really unbiased in the time when there's
none of that. So they've got a guy in front
of the prison where they're holding Luigi. They've got a

(01:14:17):
News Nation reporter, Ashley Banfield in studio though, is asking
the question, and the prisoners inside of the prison can
watch her because they've got TV on. So it is

(01:14:38):
hilarious because they shout out the answers. They're essentially shouting
the answers to the reporter that she's asking.

Speaker 36 (01:14:46):
Does Luigi have television in his single cell?

Speaker 37 (01:14:52):
So he's turning and looking at them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
No, they said no, right, so they said no. Now
she wants to get another question in there because now
that she recognizes okay, they're watching her and they can
then be heard by screaming at him. So it's a

(01:15:26):
bizarre interview. And so she's going to ask him a
question absolutely directly.

Speaker 36 (01:15:32):
Hey, guys, don't yell until I finished the question.

Speaker 7 (01:15:36):
So the question is.

Speaker 36 (01:15:38):
About Luigi Mangioni. He's fighting extraditions, so he's going to
be in that jail, presumably for a little bit longer,
but eventually he's going to end up going to Rikers.
I don't know how many guys behind you in the
walls there have been to Rikers, but it's a bit
of a hell hole. So the question I have for
the guys, if you could just yell stay or go?
Do you think that Luigi should just you know, wave

(01:16:01):
extradition and get on with the process and go to
Rikers or should he stay in that prison Huntingdon with
the rest of you guys. They're in Pennsylvania, so it's
either stay or go. Just yell that out, and again
we have a little bit of a delay.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
There you go. That's how you do a prison interview, Alex.

Speaker 36 (01:16:26):
I hear them saying go, was it go?

Speaker 33 (01:16:30):
Are they saying go?

Speaker 7 (01:16:31):
They're saying go, They're saying go.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
They say get on with they go to Rikers Island. Wow. Wow, indeed,
such a bizarre thing. And it gets even weirder today
when you find out this about him. Now, remember this
guy Luigi with his smoldering good looks, but his back

(01:16:56):
was really bad. The insurance companies are evil, this insurance.
Why this guy? Why this guy? Well, it must have
been because they treated him so poorly and denied him care.

Speaker 25 (01:17:08):
The young man charged with murdering Brian Thompson was never
a client of United Healthcare, but this morning police say
they're investigating whether Luigi Menngioni targeted the company because of
its size. The company tells ABC News Brian Thompson's killer
was not a member of United Healthcare, the NYPD, telling
NBC New York Manchioni did, however, mention it's the fifth

(01:17:29):
largest corporation in America.

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
Ah, getting to the point. Now, we're getting to the point,
and that point is this isn't about healthcare. It's about capitalism. Healthcare,
if you tear it down, will help you destroy capitalism.
But that first step of capitalism that you want to

(01:17:53):
tear down must be healthcare, and that is what they
are doing.

Speaker 32 (01:17:59):
I'm not sure, but we may be experiencing a watershed moment,
something that is so broad and so deep, it has
consequences that we don't fully understand when it happens, things
like Pearl Harbor and nine to eleven. Think through what
just happened. A handsome, upper class, white male Ivy League
graduate with irreparable and debilitating chronic pain appears to have

(01:18:20):
three D printed a ghost gun with a silencer and
used it too without support from anyone else execute a
Wall Street CEO.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
So, okay, we got that. But it's a white guy, right,
he is. He is the first step in this because
it's the blame game. But the most important thing about
this when you listen to this next bit, is what
he says about capitalism.

Speaker 32 (01:18:44):
The thing that stands out is this crime. It robbed
the people in power of all of their go to excuses.
This wasn't an immigrant, it wasn't a stolen gun. It
wasn't a person who's mentally ill. This was the collision
of two previously unrelated instances of stage capitalism, unregulated healthcare
and completely unregulated weapons. This was the Republican deregulation machine

(01:19:07):
attacking itself, and it's already sending shockwaves across every platform
I'm on.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Ah, there you go, the late stages of capitalism, the
smile on the face. Tear it down, burn it down.
And if you want to destroy capitalism, you have to
get in control of healthcare. And for a lot of
these people, they're not interested in the European model of

(01:19:36):
higher taxes and socialized medicine, higher services because you know,
the taxes are so high. They're not interested in that.
They want to tear it all down. That is the
ultimate goal, is the destruction of capitalism, because still in
their mind, capitalism is the greatest evil that they can

(01:19:57):
think of, because the way that somebody gets ahead in
life is by stepping on people and destroying them and
taking from them. It's never a win win in their mind.
They it's younger generation. And I hear from a lot
of them. I'll get some people go, you're full of it.

(01:20:17):
I hear from a ton of them, a ton of them,
and I just laugh because they're texting me or tweeting
at me. Things done. My capitalists. They are texting me
while they're sitting there in their nikes. Capitalism. It's they're

(01:20:37):
they're not on a compound somewhere right sending me a
message through a pigeon, you know, with a little note
on its foot. It's not happening. They are about destroying
capitalism because they see capitalism in particular America, as the
greatest evil on the planet, not understanding that capitalism has

(01:21:07):
done more for everybody on this planet than anything else.
It has brought people in droves from poverty and starvation
to health and life and abundance. They don't see that, though.

(01:21:28):
So you go after two things. You control healthcare, you
can control many if you can get the guns as well,
it's a double win, and then you can do whatever
you want because you have it all.

Speaker 32 (01:21:42):
So here's what I need to see from the leader
who's willing to say it. Skip The calls for violence
in all of its forms must be condemned. That's honestly
no different from saying thoughts and prayers after a mass shooting.
Take this unique opportunity to lead us through the challenges
that have just been forced into the spotlight, because when
we take the necessary steps here, there is no way

(01:22:03):
we walk out without greater conviction for healthcare reform and
gun control. But these are the kinds of things that
polished politicians want to avoid.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
And by the way, what kind of gun control are
you going to get if somebody's printing a gun at home,
what kind of gun control are you going to get?
Are because that kind of gun control you're thinking of is, well,
now we've got to register everybody who buys a three
D printer. And you're like, ah, it's about control, regulate
and control. And the funny thing is it's not really

(01:22:34):
about for a lot of people, especially on the left,
the lunacy, it's not about regulation like we would think, like,
you can't dump this here, you can't do it is
about control. I want to control this, whether it's the
narrative online, it's about control, and that is the most

(01:22:56):
important thing. That's it. It's the most important thing. Control,
not regulation, regulation meets. You still have some plain in it.
But if I could control it, you're gonna have to
do what I say. It's not about healthcare. We're finding
that out. The conversation right now is a bit about healthcare.

(01:23:19):
But the reality is this is about a system that
many out there, especially bizarrely enough, upper middle class rich kids,
mostly white, think is evil and bad after they've gone to,
in many cases, very wealthy schools to be told how

(01:23:44):
evil it is, and these professors, where are we going
to start having conversations about the lunacy they're teaching. There
was a professor at Penn that cheered this on a
school he went to, by the way, so bizarre. Two three, five, three, eight,

c Chad b E n s O and Little Friday,
Friday Sound Straight Ahead, and our Buddy Jim Kennedy Kennedy
Institute of Public Policy Research is going to join us
to talk about healthcare, which he is involved with a
lot and understands it a great way. But he's going
to talk about his personal experience and the insanity of
a bill.

Speaker 38 (01:26:17):
Chad Benson, Joe, Chad Benson, Happy Friday, Everybody, What a week.

Speaker 13 (01:26:33):
Earlier this morning in Altoona, Pennsylvania, members of the Altuna
Police Department arrested Luigi Mangioni.

Speaker 14 (01:26:40):
He was writing a lot about his sustained for Corporate
America and in particular to healthcare industry.

Speaker 22 (01:26:50):
I'm not one hundred dollars walking.

Speaker 7 (01:26:54):
I know how I'll say it.

Speaker 15 (01:26:56):
Anybody's burning right through my bucket, then do my scam.

Speaker 7 (01:27:02):
I'm Monday morning, I'll be brown.

Speaker 15 (01:27:05):
It's fine, free, I'm done my motor.

Speaker 22 (01:27:11):
Again. It's fine.

Speaker 18 (01:27:18):
Time.

Speaker 17 (01:27:19):
This is iconic Monday Night football, the Simpsons.

Speaker 7 (01:27:21):
But they got a problem with her because.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
But at first she didn't do anything wrong.

Speaker 16 (01:27:27):
Unfortunately, we can't just rely on the mainstream media to
get our message across.

Speaker 18 (01:27:32):
Sometimes people are born genetically largely.

Speaker 15 (01:27:36):
It's fine time, I'm done my motor. It's fine.

Speaker 19 (01:27:53):
I'll take a million court appearances and people are calling
me names and people hating me, just to keep one
of those people from getting hurt or killed.

Speaker 20 (01:28:02):
These wonderful white people, I hope they celebrate their Christmas.

Speaker 7 (01:28:06):
We need some black vigilanities.

Speaker 17 (01:28:08):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (01:28:09):
People want to jump up and choke us and kill
us for being loud.

Speaker 22 (01:28:16):
How about we do the same when they attempt to
oppress us. Right, I'm tiring, Fay.

Speaker 21 (01:28:24):
I'm.

Speaker 22 (01:28:27):
Wow.

Speaker 18 (01:28:37):
At this time, we have no evidence that these activities
are coming from a foreign entity.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
Iran launched a mother ship. They often fly with their
lights off, making them harder to detect.

Speaker 23 (01:28:47):
Jator's rule came to a stunning end over the weekend
when Syrian rebels took the capital, forcing Asad to flee
to Moscow.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at chat, Ben to Joe is here, Twitter, tweet at us,
you can text the program. Check at all the things
we have in our social media. We love it when
you do. And again, we're going to be going much
larger in the new year. Right here on the Chad
Benson Show, speaking of all the social media. If you
guys haven't heard, there's been a change, a change to YouTube.

Speaker 23 (01:29:15):
YouTube is once again raising the price of its TV
streaming service. YouTube tv surged in popularity with its low
cost service, prompting millions to cut the cord on their
cable TV packages. When it launched in twenty seventeen, a
subscription ran thirty five dollars a month. It jumped to
fifty dollars by twenty nineteen, then to seventy three dollars
last year, and beginning next month, it will cost eighty

(01:29:37):
three dollars a month. One critic on x writing congrats
to YouTube tv for evolving into the very thing it's
swore to destroy, adding the hashtag full circle.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
Full circle. By the way, they're not the only one.

Speaker 23 (01:29:48):
It's not just YouTube TV. In July, Peacock increased its
premium subscription by twenty dollars to eighty dollars a year.
In October, Disney ABC's parent company raised prices for Disney Plus,
Hulu and ESPN Plus. As for Netflix users, one Wall
Street analyst predicts a robust price hike coming in the
new year.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
Oh oh, it's all happening, kids. Twenty twenty five is
already starting to get more expensive. Trump, you said this
wouldn't happen, So have a little fun there three, two, three, five, three, eight,
your Twitter tweet texts coming up? My buddy Jim Kennedy.
You guys, hear we talk politics a lot. It's got

(01:30:27):
an amazing take on healthcare, including his experience, and it
is insane. He has done a lot of research on this.
You're gonna want to hear this. That's straight ahead Chad
Benson Show, Fun, Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
It is Friday. I love talking to our buddy Jim
Kennedy the Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research. And this
is important because Jim has done some really cool stuff
and lots of studying on the healthcare world. So look,
there's a conversation that's been started, Jim. I think we
know that with the with the killer of Brian Thompson,

(01:31:42):
the CEO of United Health, and let's be real, I
think we could all agree that we have a problem
when it comes to healthcare, the cost of it. We're
no longer you know, you and I are no longer patients,
We're no longer humans. We are policy numbers. And it
is frustrating and the left is angry and pissed and

(01:32:02):
wants medicare for all, and a lot of people on
the right. The people who are happy with their insurance
probably don't use it very much, and the people that
are using it, they're frustrated with it because no transparency, surprise, bills,
massive debt for people. We got a problem that needs

(01:32:24):
to be fixed, and this guy, he succeeded in at
least the conversation, albeit in the most heinous way.

Speaker 17 (01:32:30):
No, absolutely certainly.

Speaker 12 (01:32:31):
Isn't a way.

Speaker 39 (01:32:32):
We don't want to start this conversation, but it is
probably going to start. How where it goes from here
is a really good question. I'm not really sure. One
of the problems in America is is that healthcare is
not or health insurance which was given to almost everybody
now through the Obama administration, and Obamacare is not healthcare.

Speaker 17 (01:32:50):
It doesn't necessarily get you that.

Speaker 39 (01:32:52):
It gets your health insurance and then a twelve thousand
dollars year deductible for those in their very you know,
in the very cheap coverage, very inexpensive coverage, and that
doesn't really get them anything. Congratulations, you can get an
annual checkup and that if they find anything wrong, it's
twelve thousand dollars for the surgery or treatment or procedures
to fix it. And that is the kind of money

(01:33:12):
that a lot of the people that are paying two
hundred fifty dollars a month for health care insurance are getting.
And that's part of the problem. Yes, healthcare is very
good in America. It's also very expensive in America. Nobody
will basically, you know, in America, they said you'll lose
your house because you have medical debt. In Canada, you'll
die because you won't get to coverage in time because

(01:33:33):
the fact that it takes nine months to get an
appointment with.

Speaker 17 (01:33:35):
National health Care. But you won't lose your house. So
take your pick.

Speaker 39 (01:33:39):
And there's got to be some sort of a happy
medium that, as the world's richest nation, we can figure
out and implement. And I put together actually a healthcare
bill of rights that's up on my substack to look
at that I think would be something that we should
probably take some of the good parts from Obamacare. Bombacare
is not a total disaster, but the mandate was a
problem and is a problem, and.

Speaker 17 (01:34:00):
It's gone away.

Speaker 39 (01:34:02):
But for some of the things about keeping kids on
their parents' insurance and basically providing transparency, pricing and things
like that. That's a great thing, and there's other type
of things we need to push forward going forward.

Speaker 15 (01:34:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
Yeah, and you know, I've talked to several experts, you know,
throughout the years, and one thing's for sure, Obamacare was
never written to be in healthcare or even health insurance.
It was written as a law. It was written to
withstand court challenge after court challenge that, and it was
written as a tax. It wasn't written for, like you say,

(01:34:39):
for you and I to get healthcare and to hang
out with our provider every once in a while when
we needed to see them. And it's been more than
thirty seconds with them because we became a number. And
remember we always forget they let the healthcare industry craft
the bill.

Speaker 39 (01:34:55):
Yeah, and there's also a lot of you know, a
lot of skepticism about it that they base rode it
as a broken bill because then they were hoping that
it would lead to a larger conversation that's well, we
have to go to medicare for all, because that's the
only logical solution now because we've gone part way down
this road of getting away from health insurance covered to
jobs and employment, which I agree is a problem.

Speaker 17 (01:35:17):
It needs to be portable if we're really going to
solve the problem.

Speaker 39 (01:35:20):
But I think that that's what they were hoping, was
that this whole thing would blow up and these go, fine,
we have to go to Medicare for all. That's no
way to solve the problem for America, and we get
their national health insurance and healthcare that they were so
desperately been looking for that they think will make.

Speaker 17 (01:35:33):
Us better, because it won't.

Speaker 39 (01:35:34):
Because they talk about getting the profit out of the system,
which is what national health care would do. But it's
because that competitiveness and that drive for profit is why
you have an efficient healthcare system in the private sector
that you don't have in the public sector, and why
you get those types of things in Canada and the
UK where you get six months nine months wait to
get cancer treatment even though you've been diagnosed correct, it's costing.

Speaker 17 (01:35:57):
You almost nothing, But are you going to live long
enough to get the care?

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Yeah? Yeah, And you know I say this, you know
because I've lived in both. I lived in Britain on
and off for a decade, so I was in the NHS.
And if you break your arm, you have to have
your appendix out. You're gonna want to do it in
a place like that. If you have cancer, you want
to do it here. And that's just the reality of it,
because if you break your arm here and you go
across the street from two different hospitals, you're gonna get

(01:36:23):
two different bills you're going to get. You know, you
don't know what you're going to get. People are so
frustrated in this, and I think the fear is they're
gonna break it either make it too damn expensive or
not workable, or they're going to get to the point
where it is just unaffordable for the average person. And

(01:36:43):
I've been very open about the cost for my family.
I could buy a four or five hundred, but I
think we last worked. There's like five hundred and sixty
grand or so house with what I pay a month.

Speaker 39 (01:36:55):
A couple of years ago, I had some medical procedures
and want to have to go to an er because
it triggered something else. That bill was forty nine thousand dollars.
The health insurance company settled the bill for eight nine
hundred and eighty nine dollars because I was fully covered
that point. Because I'd met my deductive would have gone
beyond well, my out of pocket was on my previous condition.
But there's a large discrepancy between forty two thousand dollars

(01:37:16):
and one thousand dollars, and there's a problem there. There's
a very large problem there for the amount of treatment.

Speaker 17 (01:37:22):
Did I get.

Speaker 39 (01:37:22):
Forty two thousand dollars with a treatment or did I
get one thousand dollars. I'd say it's probably worth more
than one thousand dollars, but clearly it wasn't worth forty
two thousand.

Speaker 17 (01:37:31):
And why is the price here?

Speaker 39 (01:37:33):
That's so so bizarre and so disjointed from reality, and
that's something we really need to look at. We're going
to look at covering it because it's not necessarily and
it's that expensive to provide it. Yes, it's probably gonna
be a little bit more expensive because of costs and
the fact that we have all this technology in America
and the latest machinery and stuff like that, but when
you're talking about a forty full difference, that's ridiculous. We

(01:37:55):
need to start looking into that on how we can
make that system more efficient and more price effective.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Talking to Jim Kennedy, Kennedy Inswer public policy research. You know,
one of the things I've always talked about, Jim and
and I think it is and I've given a lot
of thought to this, and I've thought to myself, you know,
is there going to be a hybrid at some point
in time? And where if you are let's just say,
for the sake of argument, Era Pennix comes out. You
handle that you have broken arm, you know, the basics

(01:38:23):
up into a certain point, you've got cancer. You go
off that and onto something like a government side of
it that helps pay for it, and something like it's
there's something there that needs to be done because the
government's already involved. When people say I don't want that,
the government's evolved, they're already involved. It's too late now.

Speaker 17 (01:38:42):
Yeah, no, absolutely, And like I said, the difference between
the forty two.

Speaker 39 (01:38:45):
Thousand dollars bill and one thousand dollars bill is a
quintessential example of that too. And where exactly we get
those two prices from. And that's ridiculous. I know there's
a similar thing where if you go in and get
like a like a like an MRI if you have
an insurance that's a price walked in and said I
don't have insurance, I have cash. That's a second price.
If you walked in and said I have no insurance
and no cash and I can only pay you on

(01:39:06):
a monthly basis, that's a third price. And I don't
get it because it doesn't cost them any different to
provide that service to you. And those prices can be
quite a bit different between like maybe four hundred dollars
and say sixteen hundred dollars, and that is the type
of thing we really need to figure out because that
cost of delivering that service doesn't change with any of
those But yeah, there's I think there's also a stat
where something like seventy five percent of the cost of

(01:39:28):
all health care is delivered in the last six months
of life, and that's you know, Canada.

Speaker 17 (01:39:33):
They don't do that unfortunately.

Speaker 39 (01:39:35):
Basically it's like, you know, do you want to talk
about assistant suicide at that point or do you really
you know, cause we're not going to pay for the
four hundred thousand dollars for this cure because you're ninety
two years old and you've got you know, probably terminal cancer.
They're just gonna it's not price effective for them, and
that's a tough decision of it.

Speaker 17 (01:39:52):
To me, I go, no, I want you to spend
the four hundred and fifty thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
Yeah, but you know, the thing is, if you're ninety
two and you're past your sell by date and your
life is in a good quality, keeping you alive, I mean,
you know, I think everybody thinks that when they have
a conversation like this, and it's it's a morbid thing.
But us as individuals would say, man, I don't want
to keep mom alive that much longer in a situation

(01:40:15):
like that, you know, But it's it's when it comes
to the thought of the government or a company doing that, well,
that's not your choice. It's a weird thing. It's a
super weird thing.

Speaker 39 (01:40:27):
I mean I was almost that situation. My mother passed
away and her ninety six during the pandemic. Nothing relate
to the pandemic just happened to be and luckily she
just kind of slowly went downhill and passed away at
ninety six. Was anything where it was like, you know,
we're gonna have to spend tens of thousands of dollars
a month to keep her going for something that may
be curable or may not be at ninety six. So

(01:40:49):
you know, thank goodness, you know, she kind of went
the way she wanted to in her home, and God
blessed that it worked out that way. But there's many million,
millions of others that unfortunately has not worked out that way,
and that is a problem, and it's a very expensive
problem for the country and for people. And that you said,
I mean, that's like I said before, when people do
wind up losing their houses due to medical debt, and

(01:41:10):
that's not a good thing. But we need to figure
out some sort of you know, happy middle that it's
not necessarily one hundred percent like you talked about government
care and not one hundred percent private care. And I
think there's something we can probably work on maybe and
maybe RFK Junior's got some ideas in that area in
addition to getting rid of seed oils that may work out.
I mean, they're definitely time to look at it from

(01:41:31):
a different approach, and you've got a different grip of
people in there that may look at it from a
different angle that may have some better ideas at it.

Speaker 17 (01:41:37):

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
So the greatest Christmas action movie of all time. One
of the great debates in Hollywood? Is it or isn't
it a Christmas movie?

Speaker 10 (01:44:47):
It's Christmas Eve in La California.

Well we'll see what Santa and Mommy can do.

Come into the cost to get together a few lifts.

Speaker 10 (01:45:27):
And a hard man to kill. Bruce Willis die Hard.

Speaker 12 (01:45:32):
Got invited to the Christmas party bomb Steak, who knew.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
The great debate of is it or isn't it? I
say it is. Bruce. On the other hand, iheard is
not a Christmas movie. That's what he said. But the
definitive answer comes from a man named Jeremy Arnold who
is a entertainment, film and TV historian. He's got a

(01:46:02):
book about all the great Christmas movies that were on
T and T and wts and all these things, and
he has an entire chapter in his book about this
and why it is a Christmas movie.

Speaker 8 (01:46:17):
Well, first of all, when people say Diehard is not
a Christmas movie and the other side must be insane
for thinking it is, what that dispute is really about
is definition. Both sides are defining the term Christmas movie
very differently, and so for someone it may really not
be a Christmas movie, and that's fine for them, but
for the rest of us it is. And the reason

(01:46:37):
I think it is is that it begins as the
most common type of Christmas movie, which is some version
of a dysfunctional or estranged family trying to reconcile on Christmas.
In this case, John and Holly McClain. Holly, I'd like
to know, Yes, her name's Holly. Yes, change from the
source material. Her name was Stephanie. So that is the

(01:46:59):
story worry that is happening before the terrorists come and
take over Naokotomi Plaza. And what that does is it
grounds the audience to see the whole movie that follows
through the prism of this Christmas time family reconciliation story.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
So there you go. I think it's a Christmas movie.
Here's the fun facts about it. Originally Frank Sinatra. This
is an adaptation of a book that was out in
the sixties, and Frank Sinatra was actually going to play
the lead. Bruce Willis, by the way, was the sixth
choice to play the lead. They went through everybody in

(01:47:38):
Hollywood they could think of, including Harrison Ford, Richard gear
so Vester, Sloan, Bert Reynolds, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and they finally
settled on an unknown actor who was starring in Moonlighting.
And in fact, they didn't think he had any kind
of cachet when it came to fame, so they didn't
really put him on the cover of any of the

(01:48:01):
like when they had posters everywhere and stuff, you could
see his face in the background. But they focused on
Nacatombi Towers, which, by the way, happened to be where
twentieth century fox towers are because that's what they were,
which was hilarious. Top of that, some of the other
interesting things. Hans Gruber. That was Alan Rickman's first major

(01:48:22):
motion picture. He'd been in some other stuff, but that
was his number one starring role. And the surprise at
the end if you've never seen the movie where he
falls off the tower, that was actually set up in
such a way where they dropped him early. Yes, number
one action movie for Christmas easily. Die Hard three two, three, five,

(01:48:47):
