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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Still in the sky, there is a mystery. What could
it be? Well, we know they're drones, and we know
that they are not all.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Super top secret. But could they be aliens? Probably not.
There's a lot of different theories out there. There's a
lot of drones out there. By the way, if you're
not keeping score.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
There are more than one million registered drones in the US,
and it's not illegal to fly them day or night.
According to federal regulators, recreational drones must fly at or
below four hundred feet and pilots must maintain line of sight.
The Pentagon going further, saying they have no reason to
suspect a threat.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
I like, how there's is it been no reason?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
I mean we were not expecting anything, right, Like, we're not,
you know, expecting stuff now.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I mean this is just, you know, it's nothing. I
don't think it's anything to worry about. I mean, you know,
it should be fine.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
So over the last couple of days, there's been stuff
floated out there that's been very interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Some of it just a bunch of malarkey.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
And everybody that sees something it's drone out, it's drout,
its drout and drout.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
My god, it's drout drove down Droud drone.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
But this was interesting yesterday that they addressed this, and
again it's the government. How much do we buy into
what the government has to say, because there was a
classified briefing yesterday and this is one of those ones
where behind the closed doors is when real things are discussed.

(01:51):
In front of the cameras, it's show business. But they
brought this out yesterday. I just wanted to do assure
everybody about something.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Energy agencies knocking down an alarming theory linking drone sightings
to a small amount of medical grade radioactive material that
was temporarily lost in transit, the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection issuing a statement to ABC News saying the
source has been located, repackaged and sent to the manufacturer,
and the National Nuclear Security Administration saying it does not

(02:27):
employ drones for nuclear radiological detection missions.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
So why would they say that, Well, there has been.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Some information out there that I guess is somewhat available
and was made more available by the New Jersey mayor,
who during an interview.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Said this, So here's what I know.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
I know that we were told by our state police
that we have assets over our critical infrastructure. Now, depending
on your point of view, that's either concerning or comforting.
I think it's comforting because it's probably us listening and watching.
We also know that we have drones that are flying
in a grid like pattern. In my opinion, they're looking
for something. What might they be looking for, Well, potentially
we're aware of a threat that came in through Port Nork.

(03:23):
Maybe that's radioactive material. There was and there is an
alert that's out right now that radioactive material in New
Jersey has gone missing on December second. It was a shipment,
it arrived at its destination, the container was damaged and
was empty.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
That's kind of news. Is that why they're flying solow?
Could this radioactive material be something? Well, they've recovered it.
I don't know if I buy into all of that.
I have to be honest with you. You guys aren't straightforward
with us, So don't expect us to be completely trusting
of everything you say. See pretty much everything that government
has ever done throughout time. You're never telling us the

(04:05):
honest to goodness.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Truth. You're not. But it was just so nonchalant.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
He's like, yeah, there was some radiation MATI, it's no
big deal.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well, how much of it you've recovered it? Okay? Great?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Could that have potentially led to somebody who wanted to
do something nefarious? Could that have been that, you know,
like a dirty bomb, because that was the big thing
that had been swirling for the last couple of days,
Not so much that the radiation had gone disappearing, but
that some of these things were drones that could pick
up radiation. And by the way, don't think of what

(04:47):
they say, Oh, the Department of Homeland Security doesn't operate
these It isn't.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
The Energy Department has a.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Fleet of drones, and those would be the ones that
I would think would be operate in such a way
as to be looking for said radiation. I'm just putting
it out there. I don't know if it's true. I
don't know what is true or isn't true when it
comes to these things. I think most of them our
people just curious flying their own drones. And yes, I

(05:15):
do think they were looking for something and or testing
our military. But does this one make sense more than
anything else. Yes, According to several people, including Christopher Ray
FBI director, we have never been in a situation since

(05:37):
pre nine to eleven that we are now when it
comes to foreign adversaries. The poorous border has put us
in a situation where there is more than a potential
of God knows how many people that have come here
that have sympathies and or are aligned with and or
are part of Al Qaeda, isis et CE. So just

(06:06):
putting it out there. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. You
guys know that. I mean, some of them are fun.
But I find now, as more and more stuff is
coming out, that there is a certain sense of we're
not getting the whole truth, and we will either they'll
figure it totally out and these things will disappear, and

(06:27):
that'll be kind of the whole truth. There was something
we were worried about, we got it. Or the other
part is something bad happens and that's when we realize, oh,
well they were looking for something. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is
your Twitter tweet at his text to program. Meanwhile, in
New York City, tomorrow, Luigi is going to have his

(06:48):
day court in Pennsylvania, be charged, and then decide whether
or not he's going to fight extradition to New York
or not yesterday was charged and it was significant in
how they charged him.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Manngoni, the defendant, is charged with one count of murder
in the first degree and two counts of murder in
the second degree, including one count of murder in the
second degree as an act of terrorism.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
That right there was Alvin Bragg normally a douche canoe,
but this time absolutely right. The terrorism part of it
is so important in New York City. They unless you
kill an officer, or you kill a government official, or
it's an active terrorism, at most you're facing twenty five

(07:37):
to life. You could be out within fifteen years. With
an active terrorism, you could face life without the possibility
of parole. And throwing that first degree in there. One
of the other things is a hit. You did something

(07:58):
based on money, whatever it is, and you hunted and
or planned the attack.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
For the brazen, targeted and premeditated shooting of Brian Thompson, who,
as you know, was the CEO of United Healthcare. When
he saw mister Thompson, he crossed the street and approached
him from behind. We alleged he then took out a
nine millimeter three D printed ghost gun equipped with a

(08:28):
three D printed suppressor and shot him once in the
back and once in the leg.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
All of those say, what you planned it?

Speaker 2 (08:40):
It wasn't just a random killing.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
They're going to do everything in their power to make
sure that they get him so as to never see
the light of day again. Not just a situation where
he'll be released potentially within fifteen or twenty years. No,

(09:03):
they're coming to hard form as they should three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show is Your Twitter Tweet? At a Texa program yesterday,
we learned very little about the shooter in Wisconsin. There
is the stuff that we talked about. Sean Barnes, who

(09:25):
is the Wisconsin police chief and Madison there said that
there's stuff swirling around out there. They couldn't say if
it was or wasn't her manifesto. There was so much
disinformation out there.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
What do we know? What don't we know?

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Those kind of things that you know, It's like everybody
is trying to they're not trying to get it right,
They're trying to be first, because that's kind of the
world do we live in at this moment in time.
They're not trying to get it right. They're trying to
make sure that they're the first one to get something out, that.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
They're the first one to get across their message.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Whether it's right or wrong, as long as it's got
a little bit of truth, that's all that anybody cares about.
And that's not a good place to be. It's unfortunate
that we're in this place. They hold a visual there
last night it is I mean, yeah, like I said
the other day, I think about this. You're going to school,
getting ready to start your Christmas break and lo and

(10:34):
behold some psycho with zero regard for human life who's
angry and pissed at the world decides to ruin everybody
else's life. And the why is still out there. They
said it was multiple factors in the shooting. But what
those multiple factors are I couldn't tell you because they

(10:56):
really haven't said.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Was she bullied? Was it her dad? And the relationship
they had.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
I mean, these are all things you're gonna hear, and
you're gonna hear all kinds of stuff, and whether or
not it's true, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
School shooters target revealed as survivors detail how the fifteen
year old in combat boots pounded energy drinks and stormed
through the hallways to unleash hell. It's one of the
headlines you'll see out there. There's all kinds of stuff. Man,
it's it's it's so frustrating, pounding energy drinks. That's not good.

(11:35):
I'm sure we'll learn more in the coming days and weeks,
But much like everything else, how long are we going
to pay attention to it? Because news moves fast and
then we're onto something else. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three atchadmentson shows, your Twitter, tweet
at is texted program A lot of stuff to get
to today, including the number one greatest Christmas movie of

(11:56):
all time, just to name a few.

(12:56):
It is the Chad Benson Show. Chad Benson, as we
wrap up twenty twenty four, get ready to look ahead
to twenty twenty five. Let's not forget all the crazy

(13:19):
stuff we had this past year. And this is just
a few of the highlights of the chaos and craziness.
I couldn't even put the Olympic stuff in here, but
there's plenty of that that we could have thrown in here.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
There's just a lot enjoy.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
These repulsive scare tactics. Men mean nothing compared to the
deaths of over thirty four thousands polyestinians.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
AIMD last several minutes, we've seen these flares streaking all
across the skies over Jerusalem, and now for the first
time we're hearing the air raid sirens.

Speaker 9 (13:53):
And the Oscar goes to Christopher Nolanavan Robandi.

Speaker 10 (13:58):
Two time former One Direction singer Liam Payne has died.
Oda Simpson has died at the age of seventy six.

Speaker 11 (14:07):
Oscar winning actress Maggie Smith, best known for her roles
and Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, has died.

Speaker 12 (14:13):
France has become the first country in the world to
make abortion a constitutional rock.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Time has now come to suspend my campaign.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm suspending my campaign tonight. We are going to suspend
this presidential camp. Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign.

Speaker 13 (14:28):
Hutchinson has suspended his presidential campaign.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Dd jas lomanad with being in it.

Speaker 14 (14:35):
Government and military officials suggested it that may be the
case that there are intelligent beings that live off of
the planet.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Do you see how you do may makeup for work?
Very demure, very mindful.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay, My mother raised my sister and me.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
All right, my mother raised my sister and me.

Speaker 15 (14:52):
Donald Trump has been elected president, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Those are just a few the highlights we didn't get
in the assassination attempts, not one but two again, the Olympics,
so many things that took place this year. And if
you would have told everybody the beginning of the year
that Donald Trump would not only be convicted of a
kazillion is that a word?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
I don't think it.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Is felonies based on a sham trial from Alvin Bragg.
We talked about that at nauseum, but then would go
on to survive not one but two assassination attempts and
become the President of the United States. I think most
people have said, you are crazy. No, no, that is
the reality of it. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(15:39):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter, tweet at US text the program right here
on The Chad Benson Show. And here we are now
heading in to twenty twenty five with optimism that quite frankly,
I don't think people realize how much optimist and there

(16:00):
is about Trump and his presidency, even from people who
are Trump doubters. And I say that because I was
watching Mark Halpren and his video cast that is awesome.
If you've never watched it, you should absolutely go and
watch it. Talking about how this is so much different
comparatively to eight years ago.

Speaker 16 (16:21):
This is extraordinarily successful what he's doing. You can see
it in the reaction world leaders, business leaders, members of Congress.
The confirmation kerfuffles, I think are the exception that proves
the rule. He's in such a commanding position and he
prefers this. He prefers to be loved and courted rather
than attacked, and you see that in the press conference

(16:41):
where he is again it's just objective fact. He's confident.
He's not, as Sean said, he's not pulling every punch.
But this is the version of Trump that he thinks
can govern and go down in history, and that's what
he wants.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
He is confident, and it is showing not everybody's going
to get through. I think we recognize that some of
his picks aren't going to make it.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I think Tulsi is she didn't wow from what I hear.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
But going into twenty twenty five, the momentums there, the
people that weren't screaming and yelling that you know he's
going to jail everybody, and it's going to be the
handmade sale and all that stuff. People that were liked
some of what Trump was but couldn't stand the man.
Even people out there who didn't like Trump across the
board have some confidence because Biden's been such a disaster

(17:28):
that I think they think this could be something, and
damn it, I think that as well. We're gonna see
twenty twenty five not too far away. If you're missing
the joke, grab the podcast.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 17 (17:38):
Joe Fun Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chad Bensonshell.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
As we head into Christmas, many of you out there
will be giving gifts of electronics to children and to
your loved ones, maybe even to yourself. We must watch
out for the dreaded rot.

Speaker 18 (18:19):
Brain rot is now the Oxford University Press Word of
the Year for twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
So what is brain rot? Well, essentially points.

Speaker 18 (18:27):
To the warning that our attention spans are dwindling because
of short form content on platforms like TikTok and YouTube
and Instagram reels, and also artificial intelligence like chat GPT,
and it's making us not rely on our brains but
rely on our devices and in turn causing us to
be skulls of mush.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I don't want to be a scull of mush.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
But it's easy to see man doom scrolling all of
that stuff, and that short sixty second video is making
our attention and span virtually nothing are frustration of I'll
see with my daughter, who's great electronics, what do you
blow to play with that? Well, partially because that's where
the world is unless something happens and we're back to
the horse and buggy. The world's electronic. She's she gets

(19:12):
frustrated though with things, and it's a good learning tool.
But I tell you what, even for me, I find
myself like if it's a minute and a half two
minute videos like, I don't want to say just get
to the punchline. It drives me crazy at times, and
a lot of times because people don't have anything interesting
to say, so they try to drag it on longer

(19:34):
than it actually should be. But it's not just the
short attention span. There's so many things that are that
aren't helping us. When it comes to technology and social media,
it is It's scary, man, It is scary out there.
So I just want you to be what we care

(19:54):
about you. I care about you here on the Chad
Benson Show. We want to make sure that you're set
up for twenty twenty. So why we give you these
kind of things. So we show you this stuff. Look,
this is what potentially might happen. These are where the
world is going. Don't let yourself fall into the world
a brain rot.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
The brain rot? Is it a new term? Well, no,
actually it's not.

Speaker 18 (20:14):
Back in eighteen fifty fours when we first heard Henry
David Brow mentioned it in his book Walden, and he
just talked more about inflect as a whole, just being
dumbed down when we oversimplify topics as a whole. But
then we've seen these technological shifts coming with two thousand
and sevens iPhone release and then the COVID nineteen pandemic

(20:35):
in twenty twenty, causing us to interact with one another
and interact with our devices in different ways than we
have in the past.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well, our devices are part of us. We go back
to this. Phil and I have talked about this for years.
You leave the house and you've got your keys and
your wallet. What are you doing? You're going back and
getting your phone. You leave the house, you got your
keys and you got your phone, You'll leave your wallet.
You'll go back and get that phone. Man, that's what
you're going to do because we have been conditioned because

(21:04):
of brain rod.

Speaker 18 (21:05):
So I talked to a media psychologist and he says,
these platform engineers are geniuses, and they are essentially tapping
into a psychological flaw in our limbic system that causes
humans to seek random, intermittent rewards.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Someone's thinking about me, and I just can't resist it,
so I have to reach, Oh.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
My gosh, call cash. I got calls cash.

Speaker 19 (21:26):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
But then I'm in and still like a slot machine.
They were very, very brilliant when they created all of
these platforms.

Speaker 18 (21:34):
Think about what we see in Vegas, you know, pulling
the slot machine. He says, it's very similar to doom scrolling.
So what we're seeing in Vegas is something we're carrying
around in our pockets every single day.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
And the next time you think, well, what are you
talking about, go to Vegas or someone like that where
they got slot machines and look at the people that
are just sitting there. Just their minds are numb and
they're just pushing and pushing. Pavlovs dog.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
It's the theory.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Just just reward myself with the push. Reward myself with
the push. It's the same thing, but with a scroll.
It's the same thing. But with a scroll. You like,
Oh god, he's right, I know, man. Just look at
all the people that are walking and they're looking at
their phones, their mouths are open.

Speaker 18 (22:19):
In Australia, there actually has been a social media ban
that just passed, this first in the world law to
ban social media for kids under the sixteen. I talked
to the person who is leading this push. Let's take
a listen to that se.

Speaker 12 (22:33):
There's a direct correlation between the rise and anxiety, depression, eating,
the sort of self combined suicide amongst teenagers, and the
introduction of social media into their world.

Speaker 18 (22:44):
And so while some critics say that this ban is
overboard and it simply goes too far, that they ought
to make the platforms improve themselves instead Markeee, most experts
do agree that some sort of guardrails need to be
put in place, not just by parents, but by potentially
even our government.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
No, I keep our government out of it. And there's
only so much you're going to be able to do.
Kids are much more advanced, they're growing up with it,
they can zoom around on it.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
This is their world.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
It's knowing what they're doing, what they're looking up, but
also their interaction. See Charlie, my daughter, just like my
son and my stepdaughter, they have a limited time that
they can do things before they got to go do
something else. I was very blessed that way in some
ways because my friends were just getting into computers when

(23:34):
I was young, and they were like the video game world.
I liked it for a finite time, and then I
need to be active. I need to be hanging out.
I mean, and we still all hung out way more
than the kids do nowadays. But still you have to
a know what they're looking at as best as you
possibly can.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
And also the breaks are important.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
But I think taking it fully away from them is
not a good thing, because, like I said, we're going
to become more technologically advanced, and putting them behind and
the eight ball early isn't a good thing.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Just thrown it out there.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chadbenton Show is your Twitter tweet at his
text the.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Program, The Battle of Congress has begun.

Speaker 20 (24:13):
In addition to extending government funding through March fourteenth, and
boosting disaster relief and farm aid. The fifteen hundred page
bill includes a number of unrelated provisions, angering many Republicans.
The measure paves the way for the NFL's Washington commanders
to eventually return to DCSRFK Stadium. It allows for the
first inflationary pay raise for Members of Congress since two
thousand and nine, and it has the federal government picking

(24:34):
up one hundred percent of the cost of the Francis
Scott Key Bridge repair that Baltimore span collapsed when it
was hit by a container ship earlier this year.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
So this is interesting that there is so much crap
in there, and there is so much garbagees fifteen hundred pages,
fifteen hundred pages, how's anybody going to get through that
know exactly what's in there? This is another one of
those let's extend it, let's extend it, push it out,
and it's it's again, we're not doing.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
What we're supposed to be doing.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
We don't have people in place who have a real
responsibility in trying to figure out what the hell we're
spending all this money on. And everybody's getting a little something.
You put so much into something. Somebody's getting something, somebody's
getting a little something, some case in point something else
they may want to try to pass or get through.

Speaker 21 (25:22):
The Social Security Fareness Act would expand benefits for nearly
three million retired teachers, firefighters, police.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Officers, and other public servants.

Speaker 21 (25:31):
It would do that by repealing policies that limit Social
Security payments for some retirees who also collect public pensions.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Uh yeah, is that the whole point? So wait a minute,
they also want social Security and a pension. They want
to double dip. I'm not quite sure I feel Oh wait,
I know how I feel about that. No, that was
the whole point. You guys got these fat pensions.

Speaker 21 (25:54):
The average monthly Social Security check right now for retired
workers is about two thousand dollars. This bill did already
pass the House with bipartisan support, but some Republican senators
are worried about it's price tag that will add about
two hundred billion dollars to the deficit. As it stands
right now, the Social Security Trust Fund is set to
run out of money in just nine years if this

(26:16):
legislation to expand benefits doesn't pass the Senate by the
end of the session this week, then lawmakers would have
to start from scratch.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Next year.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Run out the clock. I love how everybody says, you
guys are going to get rid of sales security then
and then the Republicans say, we're not going to do that,
and then nobody ever says, oh, but we're going to
do everything we can to try to fix it, because
if we don't do anything, it's going to run out
three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty three.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
At Chad Benson Show's Youre Twitter tweet at a text
to program coming up the number one greatest Christmas movie
of all time. But first, rough Greens areuff greens dot com.

We'll tell you straight at Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Welcome to Chat.

Speaker 13 (28:14):
No, not the country, The institution is the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
It is our favorite time of the year. It's a
holiday season every year on the Chad Benson Show. If
you're new to listening, we count down the greatest Christmas movies,
the greatest Halloween movies, all of that stuff. Greatest Christmas songs,
and we do it different ways. And this year we
decided to count down the greatest Christmas movies by genre,
so we did five genres. Well today is just the

(28:42):
greatest overall, but four genres with horror movie, crampis Fantistic,
an incredible action movie called Diehard that some people say
it's not a Christmas movie.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I say it is, so there you go, Animation, fantastic.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Yesterday it was greatest Christmas comedy and that was a
Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase, be for the Angel or
just an amazing movie. But today we come to the
greatest Christmas movie of all time, and.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
It is.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
It stands the test of time even today, and it's
got competition, and not just in the Christmas movie genre.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Even in the movie that it is.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
It has competition because there's been so many people who
have played the character, because the movie itself has been
done so many times.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Are you ready for the Greatest Christmas Movie of all time?

Speaker 22 (29:47):
Merry Christmas, It's time for the great Christmas countdown the
five greatest Christmas Movies.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
Of all time?

Speaker 23 (30:00):
Oh very Christmas, you filthy animal.

Speaker 24 (30:03):
Surprised Eddie if I woke up tomorrow with my head
zone at the car.

Speaker 25 (30:06):
But I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right.

Speaker 26 (30:08):
Now, No Combinationsle, you'll shoot your eye out, kid, What
does you want, Barry?

Speaker 17 (30:15):
What do you want?

Speaker 20 (30:16):
You want the moon?

Speaker 26 (30:17):
Just say the word and I'll throw a rashole around
it and plug down.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
The greatest Christmas movie of all time? I know what
some people thinking, Oh it is it? Not Home Alone?
Now it's not Kevin Cowister, great character. Well, come on,
chaed all kidding aside some sort of Santa Claus movie
rights miracle in thirty fourth Street.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
No, both great, love them both. But no, well, it's
got to be the.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
One, right right, it's gotta be the one. It's a
wonderful life. No, it's not that. I know it's a
wonderful life. Everybody loves it. But the greatest Christmas movie
of all time is a Christmas Carol. Dickens classic is

(31:00):
exactly that.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
A classic. But not just any Christmas Carol, because there's
been so many of them, some of them musicals.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Yeah, Mickey Mouse's version was actually closer to the original
book than a lot of them. Michael Caine with the
Muppets is one of the greatest Christmas carols of all time.
Then you've had things like Bill Murray Scrooge, which I love,

(31:30):
George C. Scott, he played a great Scrooge, Albert Finney.
The list goes on and on, but it was the
nineteen fifty one classic. The movie had already been done
on several occasions, eight times as a silent picture and
twice as a sound picture, as they would call it.

(31:54):
But it was a Scottish character actor by the name
of Alice or sim who captured Ebenezer Scrooge like nobody
else from his pretty easy way that he played a cantankerous, angry, selfish,
greedy business man to his childlike wonderment, an excitement of

(32:20):
getting a second chance. But that second chance only comes
after not one, not two, but three spirits visit.

Speaker 23 (32:29):
But it was only that you were a good man
of business, Jacob.

Speaker 27 (32:35):
Mankind was my business. That coming will there was my business.
And it is this time of the rolling year I
suffer most.

Speaker 23 (32:46):
Hear me, My time is nearly gone.

Speaker 27 (32:49):
I come tonight to warn you that you have yet
to chance and hope of escaping my fate and Charles,
and hope of my procuring Ebenez.

Speaker 23 (32:59):
Thank you, Jacob, you were always a good friend of mine.

Speaker 27 (33:02):
You will be visited by free spoons.

Speaker 23 (33:06):
But it was the the chance of hope that you
mentioned in that case.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Never mind, but there was no never mind. They came
goes to Christmas Past, Christmas Present, in Christmas Future. The
movie itself very dark and it opened up in the
UK it was called Scrooge. It opened up on Halloween
and was a massive hit, but in the US it wasn't.

(33:38):
In fact, there was supposed to be a huge showing.
I think it was at Carnegie Hall or somewhere like that,
and they canceled it because they said it was.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Too dark, too scary, too eerie.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
It didn't do well at the box office, but through
the years it has endured, and through the years it
has grown to be the classic. When people talk about Screw,
when they talk about all the great people who've played Scrooge,
there is only one, and everybody points back to Alister
sim character, actor from Scotland, who delivered it over and

(34:11):
over again in this movie. And the movie's not very long,
it's only eighty six minutes, but it is truly a classic.
And again his wonderment as he realizes that he's got
a second chance as he realizes that this is Hey,
I've got a second chance at this. And of course

(34:32):
the ending, well, the ending is amazing.

Speaker 23 (34:35):
Well, we won't beat about to bush my friend.

Speaker 26 (34:38):
I'm not going to stand this sort of thing in
a longer, which leaves me in a alternative, not to
raise your salary.

Speaker 23 (34:56):
I haven't taken leave of my senses. Bud out into.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
The the ending, the middle, the beginning, all of it incredible,
captured everything that Dickens wanted and it is truly the
best Christmas movie of all time, year in and year out.
We watched it the other night. It doesn't feel like
Christmas until we've seen it. A Christmas Carol nineteen fifty one,

(35:22):
starring Alistair sim as Ebenezer Scrooge. It's the greatest Christmas
movie of all time. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson Show. It's
your Twitter, your Instagram, check out Chat Benson Show TV
on YouTube and the Facebook as well. We appreciate it
when you do that right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up, second hour. As we wrap up The Chad

(35:45):
Benson Show for twenty twenty four, we'll take a look
back again at some of the stuff that happened this year.
Chaos Craziness will have an update on the drone and
interesting the CEO shooter, not only the attitude that people
have about the shooting, but also what New York did
yesterday that was very surprising. I think a lot of

(36:07):
people were shocked that they did this, and we'll talk
a bit about that as well. Plus my buddy Zach
Abrahm's going to join the show to talk about what's
ahead for twenty twenty five when it comes to the
stock market, things of that nature.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
If you're miss any of the.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Show, as you always know, I say shame and shame
again on you.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Grab the podcast.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 28 (36:54):
Finally, Noe, can.

Speaker 29 (36:55):
We please not let politics up the holidays? Anybody with
me on this? Half the country is moping, half can't
stop gloating enough. It's Christmas and you will act like
it's this season and all that. I get it that
for the Democrats this was a brutal loss, but the
plan to deal with has to be something better than

(37:17):
stay in a snit and take advantage of this magical
time of year to cut people off.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Ain't that the truth? Good God, I've been even for
the Democrats. I'm surprised by how crazy some people have
gotten and how crazy some advice has gotten. From people
out there who you would think, well, they seem like
they're normal. They're like, Nope, cut everybody off, don't ever deal. Well,
they'll get your passport ready. This is all going to

(37:44):
end poorly for everybody. We should all run and hide.

Speaker 29 (37:46):
The Huffington Post has articles like my husband voted for Trump,
so I'm canceling Christmas. Oh geane not having to buy
you a present? That'll teach them. The chief psychiatric residence
at Yale University, Amanda Calhoun, recently told joy Read it's
okay to cut off family members if they voted for
Trump and tell them I'm not going to be around
you this holiday. Oh how pure. It's like not letting

(38:09):
certain people sit with you on the bush.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
That was funny.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
You guys can, oh you want, But it's true. There's
a psychologist out there telling people that, are you kidding me?
I'm still waiting to find out what you think is
going to happen. Continue sir, He.

Speaker 29 (38:28):
Also said that it shouldn't be automatic that family members
think they're entitled to your time. She said, that's just
a societal norm. Family who do think that they are
family think about that. A mental health professional advising people
to isolate during the holidays and don't forget to drink
too much and put.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
On way you know who.

Speaker 29 (38:48):
I really wouldn't want to have a dinner with this
overly educated i e. Extremely stupid, Ivory Tower academic, but
I would because if we ever want this nation to heal,
this is what we have to do. Force ourselves to
reach out and find out why someone feels the way
they do and make the choices they make without prejudging

(39:08):
them a monster.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
And they must do the same for you. But they won't,
and that's the problem right there. They won't. I'll have
lunch with anybody.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Breakfast is good too, Dinner's always nice, make it a
little bit earlier, but I don't care. Let's have fun,
let's talk about stuff. By the way, doesn't that be politics?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Be life like kids, sports, entertainment, life.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
But no, some people only see people through the lens
of politics, and.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
That's wrong on all sides.

Speaker 29 (39:40):
Whatever happened to why can't we have the Christmas spirit
all year round? Now it's hey, it's Christmas time. Get
the out of my house. I mean, can we have
a little perspective. At the First Thanksgiving, the Indians somehow
found it within themselves to sit down with the pilgrims
who were there to steal their land and slaughter them.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
And you're telling me you.

Speaker 29 (39:59):
Can't suck it up and watch the Fiesta Bowl with
Uncle Kletis.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
No, I don't even know who's in the Fiesta Bowl
this year. I love the Fiesta Bowl.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
I love Bowl games, even though they are not quite
what they once were.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
But man, that's so true.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Like I've I could never pick my friends based on politics.
I just couldn't. I couldn't. I just I find that
bizarre that people do. And yet here we are in
a modern time where people lose their mind because they're
being told over and over again, lied to by the

(40:37):
media over and over again, and alas people are flipping
out losing their mind, saying I don't want anything to
do with you. You're not get anything for Christmas. I'm staying in.
Don't come near me, you don't deserve my time.

Speaker 29 (40:50):
Trump couldn't ask for a greater holiday gift than knowing
that an embittered liberal spent what should be a day
of joy all by themselves. Kate drinking cage free eggnog.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
I'm crying in there. We are not going back. T shirt.
Don't let them do it.

Speaker 29 (41:09):
Don't let Trump live in your brain like rfk's worm.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Oh that's not very nice, but he's right. He's right.
Don't let them do it.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
If you can't stand Trump and the Republicans for their policies,
that's because you think they're all awful human beings whatever.
Still let them live in your brain, but doesn't mean
you cut people off. I'm not going to hang out
with my family anymore. How many times we've heard that
since Thanksgiving, I'm never gonna see my family again. I
hate them, but I can't really hate them because they
pay all my bills.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
They pay all my bills. But I hate them, but
I also need them. Oh, but they pay all my bills.
We've heard that way too much? Am I right?

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Speaking of way too much? There are drones, way too
many of them in the sky. You say, I do
say that our president thinks a lot. By the way,
his name is Biden. If you've forgot.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
There's a lot of drone off ris up there.

Speaker 9 (42:07):
I think once started and they all guys, everybody's wanting
to get in a deal.

Speaker 23 (42:11):
But we're following the quote.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Really I love sing and follow them, follow them closely,
clomb slide. Okay, Now I've heard a lot of wacka
donists about what.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
They are doing. What are they We've heard all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
The most interesting one out of the quote unquote conspiracy
theories isn't that far fetched at all, and that is
they're looking for something.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
What are they looking for? Is it a person? Place thing?

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Energy agencies knocking down news reports linking drone signings to
a small amount of medical grade radioactive material that was
temporarily lost in transit, the Department of Environmental Protection issuing
a statement to ABC News saying the material has been located, repackage,
and sent to the manufacturer, a National Nuclear Security Administration

(43:11):
saying it is not currently conducting any aerial operations in
that region.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Well, first, let me tell you.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Who's got a massive fleet of drones and whose job
it is to monitor certain things?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
That is the Energy Department. Oh interesting, but why are
people bringing up radiation and whatnot?

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Well, this is the mayor of New Jersey who casually
drops a oh, by the way moment on television.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
So here's what I know.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
I know that we were told by our state police
that we have assets over our critical infrastructure. Now, depending
on your point of view, that's either concerning or comforting.
I think it's comforting because it's us listening and watching.
We also know that we have drones that are flying
in a grid like pattern. In my opinion, they're looking
for something. What might they be looking for, Well, potentially
we're aware of a threat that came in through Port Nork.

(44:12):
Maybe that's radioactive material. There was and there is an
alert that's out right now that radioactive material in New
Jersey has gone missing. On December second, there was a shipment.
It arrived at its destination. The container was damaged and
was empty.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
That's why. That's why.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
That's what just all like, Oh, we've also got there's
an alert. We didn't know if you guys knew this,
but there was a bunch of radioactive materials.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
That's small, it's nothing to worry about. It's gone. Does
anybody words that, if.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Anybody could tell me words that be super awesome? No, No,
that right there, of all of the stuff that makes
you go, well, hold on a second, this is this
is that changes something, because that would say a lot
to why they're flying solo in certain occasions, why they're
coming over houses, because if it is the energy to

(45:06):
part it, well, they're probably looking for something that maybe
some of the other agencies, if they were flying these drones,
wouldn't be And yes, a vast majority of these drones
are probably false sightings and hobbyist drones. But I'm not
quite sure I believe you one hundred percent. Would you
say we got it all, We got it all. You

(45:27):
should be fine, should be this, we got it. You
guys got nothing to worry about, not a thing. Okay, Well,
I'm not quite sure I trust you.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
How about this?

Speaker 3 (45:37):
We are going to trust But as they say, verify
speaking of nuclear I don't know if you guys are aware
of this.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Yesterday in Russia, Boom.

Speaker 30 (45:46):
Sources telling ABC News that Ukraine security services yes we
you was behind the attack, saying it was a war criminal,
calling him an entirely legitimate target. They found him guilty though,
of giving orders using chemical weapons against you Kraanian troops. Well,
theg others that retribution for war crimes is inevitable.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
The guy that handles all of the bombs for Russia,
Igor Karilov, got blowed up. The Ukrainians has said that
he used these chemical weapons.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
The US is gone. Look, we didn't know anything about it,
but where he got blowed up was Moscow. So now
Russia does have this. So I guess they do have
a suspect. I don't know if it's a suspect or
you know, basically, a pansy's just pawn.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
You're done. This is it, You're.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
Gonna be We're gonna execute you whatever to show everybody
look how tough they are.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
But it's an embarrassment, no doubt. On average. Are you
ready for this? You want to hear something crazy. They're
losing sixteen hundred people a day, almost sixteen hundred.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
That is frightening man, one person said. Because the deal
is they're moving towards some sort of deal, obviously, but
right now the economic issues Russia is absolutely facing, and
as one European official put it, the more Russia loses
on the battlefield, the more of them that die, the easier.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
It is for this deal to get done.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Not a shock, and they're getting close with a Hamas
and Israel sees fire deal. You can hate Trump all
you want, but there is no doubt that since he won,
you've got leaders around the world that are excited. And
I will say this, Trump is a lot of things.
We know that I have my frustrations with him, but

(47:40):
the one thing I think European and foreign leaders.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Like is the fact that he's decisive.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
You know where you stand where with somebody like Biden
and again Obama pre Biden and Trump, it is paralysis
by analysis. It is try to diplomatically solve issues all
the time even when there isn't any Let's see if
we could just talk our way to something, and as

(48:08):
we've seen, nobody knows which way that's going to go.
What people want is somebody who is strong and who's
going to take a stand and who's going to do
it rather than talk about it. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Chad Benson.

Speaker 31 (49:52):
You may not be able to see it, but fifty
three year old Tajuana Looney was all smiles under her
mask as she was wheeled out of Nyu Lang going no.
She is the only person in the world living with
a functional pig kidney.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
First time you've been outside in a while?

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Yeah, how does it feel?

Speaker 27 (50:09):
Right?

Speaker 31 (50:10):
The grandmother from Alabama underwent the procedure last month and
left the hospital eleven days later. She is only the
third person ever to receive a pig kidney, and the
first to receive one with ten gene edits.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Out came some pig jeens. In went human friendly jeans.
We're quite confident now.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
And you just saw, you know, a living, breathing example
of someone walking around with a pig kidney inside them
for three weeks.

Speaker 32 (50:38):
Who looks like the picture of health, all right?

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Creepy.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Absolutely. The want though, and the need for transplants is huge.
We have about ninety thousand people waiting on the on
the kidney list alone and only about twenty seven thousand.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Surgeries I think last year. So this is where I
always go back to.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
If you had a chance to sell your kidney, it'd
be it'd be you might entertain it now. This lady
gave her kidney to her mother in the early nineties
and less than like one percent ever need to have
a transplant of their own. She had complications through a

(51:23):
pregnancy that is very rare. And also the reason she
couldn't even get a kidney because she was on the
list long enough, is because trying to find that the
absolute right donor for her was virtually impossible. So that's
why they did this. Here's the issue, though. These things
aren't easy to come by cause they're special. They're bred

(51:43):
specifically this or cloned specifically for this. They haven't bred yet,
and that's the goal.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Right now.

Speaker 33 (51:49):
You have to clone these pigs, so it's like a
big deal to try to do it. What they're looking
to do is to breed them to have a species
or a type of pig who are genetically altered so
that they actually have all the right genes so that
they're not rejected. But instead of having to clone them,
they're just bred. So now you have a ready supply
of these kidneys. And you know, look it's still early days.

(52:10):
This is only the third one. It's like it all
happened this year. In terms terms of this type of thing,
but huge team at NYU lengoing where I am a
professor of medicine.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
At Chad Benson Show. Twitter, C H A, D B E, N,
S O N.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Check us out across all of our social media right
here in The Chad Benson Show. It's definitely very interesting,
There's no doubt about that. And they had to mess
with the jeans. I think there's ten different things they
had to introduce. It is fascinating, to say the least.
But we have a shortage and as many people could donate,

(52:46):
they don't coming up. We're gonna have some fun. It
is the last show of the year for The Chad
Benson Show. We got a lot of stuff still to
get to. More on the drones. Our buddy, Zach Abrahm,
chief investment officer, is going to to talk about where
we're headed in twenty twenty five, what he's excited about
in the world of investing, and it's just it has

(53:09):
been one of those years man, when you when you
look back, I mean, it has been crazy.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
And you got to think about this for a second.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
We started off and we're thinking to ourselves.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Okay, it's an election year, what's this really going to
look like.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
And I was saying from the beginning of last year,
even before that, Biden's not gonna be it.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Biden's not gonna be it. Biden's not gonna be it.
Yet he stood the test of time until that night
that Trump took him out, if you will, on that
debate stage, and then it was no more. You couldn't
hide it, and that led.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
To Kamala Harris, which again led to Trump massive victory.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
So not too far away.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
A little over a month before Trump becomes the forty
seventh president after being the forty fifth president, he apologizes
for this four year.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Break, but he's back at it. If you're miss any
of the show, grab the podcast. It is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 17 (54:13):
Show, then Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
All right, you guys, ready to play little games called
Wheel of Surprise. That's where we spin the wheel and
find out what story we're going to do next. Because
we haven't labeled any of the audio, we just know
that it's audio and.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
I'll react to it. Are you ready? Let's do it?

Speaker 23 (55:07):
All?

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Right? Here we go, right here.

Speaker 8 (55:12):
We begin with that bizarre scene in a Moreno Valley
backyard where a naked intruder showed up and made himself
at home.

Speaker 29 (55:19):
Now neighbors want this got caught before he turns up again.

Speaker 10 (55:22):
This is definitely a bizarre story we're covering today out
of Moreno Valley, and it sounds like that homeowner wasn't
at home at the time when they noticed through their
surveillance camera this naked guy making himself comfortable on their
patio furniture.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Naked guy on the patio furniture, What are you doing?
I'm gonna break into somebody's backyard and just kind of
lounge you can do with clothes.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
No, I am not gonna do it with clothes. Continue now, take.

Speaker 10 (55:50):
A look at what was posted on social media. Pictures
show this guy shirtless at the door of the home.
It looks like he's trying to get in. According to
what information was host an online, this guy came in
on December tenth at about eight twenty pm. The person
who lives there says he stayed all night until about
nine thirty the next morning. Pictures show him cozying up

(56:12):
while naked on one of the outdoor sofas.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Hope you get that washed. It's a soap bizarre so California,
stayed there for thirteen hours, naked in the backyard on
a lounge.

Speaker 10 (56:28):
Now, by the time officers got there, this guy was gone.
But the Riverside County Sheriff's Department says they are investigating
and some neighbors had no idea this happened, but when
we talked to them earlier today, it was a little concerning.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Take a listen, I.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Think it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
You think it's crazy.

Speaker 34 (56:46):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
That is a naked guy in your backyard hanging out
lounge chair. That's thanks sir, Thank you for that awesome observation.
On that one. We're playing Wheel of Surprise. Who's been
the Wheel?

Speaker 3 (56:56):
And we've got magical like buttons that we ploy and
the stories are lined up as far as which ones
go together. We just don't know what's on it because
there's nothing label. That's why it's called the Wheels Surprise.

Speaker 28 (57:16):
Okay, right here again, the Edge of Lowery apartment complex
is in the National spotlight. The same complex and President
Elect Trump and others said was being run by Venezuelan gangs.
On Monday night, two residents in the complex were kidnapped
and taken to another apartment in the complex bound and
pistol whipped before getting free. In calling police Chief Todd Chamberlain.

Speaker 35 (57:38):
All of the individuals involved in this are most likely Venzuelan.

Speaker 5 (57:41):
Most of them are without question or most likely undocumented
or immigrants.

Speaker 28 (57:45):
Fourteen people are in custody and police believe there are
more suspects.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Remember, nothing to see here. None of that was real
before the election. That's all made up. Nothing was happening there.
So I just want to get this correct. The Venezuelan
gang kidnapped two people inside of a complex where I
was told by the media that Venezuelan gang doesn't exist.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
It hasn't taken another complex. That's all lies. Just want
to make sure that we're talking about the same thing.
This is the one in Aura. It is the one
in Aurora, Colorado. And here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
All joking aside when we talk about stuff like this.
Am I worried about them kidnapping a person on the street. No,
But for the left out there, that's all about open
borders and whatnot. You have no idea the terror that
a group like this can do to undocumented immigrants and

(58:42):
or people that are here that have applied for asylum
and are just trying to survive the day because they're
terrified to call the police, and so they become an
easy target.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Hmm. Playing wheel of.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Surprise when it comes to stories again, none of the
buttons where the audio is are. We just know which
parts go together story wise as far as but we
don't know what the stories are.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Hence the reason that we call this way of surprise.
All right, just going around again, let's see here.

Speaker 35 (59:20):
Oh oh, so this is all part of a pilot
program specific or select locations. Unsure you know how many
Walmart stores are gonna have these recording devices.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
But a person pols to.

Speaker 35 (59:31):
The situation tells newsation the bodycams are for the safety
of workers and not necessarily designed for anti theft measures.
Walmart says that, you know, they don't necessarily talk about
specific security measures, but is always looking at new and
innovative technology used across the retail industry, like TJ max
to be just to name one, you know, Walmart fho
on the footsteps, so that retail of the retail chain

(59:52):
has been public TJ max about using bodycams, and stores
over the past year assigned it's you know, hourly unarmed
security workers to wear body cameras in certain stores.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
Okay, So, if you guys haven't heard, there's a pilot
program that Walmart is running, and I think a couple
other stores have already done this, where that person that
is stocking the shelves or is maybe doing you know,
when they go around and they're pulling for you know,
home deliveries or even sometimes cashiers. Those people now might

(01:00:26):
potentially have body cameras.

Speaker 35 (01:00:30):
Meantime, you know, some organizations just say body cameras aren't
nearly enough. In response to Walmart's bodycamp pilot program, United
for Respect Send News Nation pretty liked the statement. But
here's part of it. Now, the largest private employer in
the country, Walmart, has the resources to make real changes
to improve worker safety, and this rollout of body cameras
is not an adequate solution. With that said, you know,

(01:00:52):
Walmart says they are merely testing the body cams and
going to evaluate the results, not make any long term
decisions just yet.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
But it goes to show.

Speaker 35 (01:01:01):
You, I mean, body cams on somebody retail workers at
walwar again, it could be a little testy sometimes. Maybe
this will help deter and de escalate wat the wait
and see.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
No, we shouldn't need that. People who arek at a
retail store shouldn't have to wear a body cam because
people are gonna steal or people are gonna attack you.
That shouldn't happen. It shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
That's where we are.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
We lock everything up in certain areas in particular, and people, well,
I tweeted it out yesterday from the place I was
bored and essentially raised, Long Beach, California.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
It's a ross. I've been to that ross.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
People are just walking in and taking stuff and it's stuck.
This guy's trying to steal a purse and it's stuck
on the little hangar thing and he's there for like
thirty seconds ripping it off, and nobody does anything. People
are just going about their business because we have lost
the plot.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
We're laying we love surprise one more here. Alrighty, let's
see what we got.

Speaker 15 (01:02:14):
Hi.

Speaker 36 (01:02:14):
My name is Virgie Tova, and I'm the author of
You Have the Right Termaine Fat, as well as a
few other books on fat positivity and body acceptance. When
I think about what people might be surprised by, what
you wouldn't think of when you think of eating disorders,
I immediately think of being a kid. I was a
kid in a larger body, a teen and a larger body,

(01:02:36):
and also I'm an adult and a larger body. And
the message I always got from my doctor was shrink
your body by any means necessary. And it really felt
like there was a sense of a don't ask, don't
tell so because I truly, truly, truly believed right. And
this is where I think the surprise comes in. I
really believed that this was about my health. I really

(01:02:56):
believe that my doctor was right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Well, Virgie, your doctor is right. And why is this important?

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
Because Virgie, you see, is the new weight stigma czar
for San Francisco. They've got one of those. They've got
one of those. She's gonna get out there and help
fight not the fat. She's not fighting the fat, that's
for damn sure. She's gonna fight people looking at the
fat going you shouldn't be so fat.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
He is a friend of the show.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
He is my man, tac abrahamch investment Officer, Board Capital.
We've winded up twenty twenty four. We're heading in twenty
twenty five. Big excitement the dode. You know, the guys
have been out there and they're talking about all the
stuff they're gonna cut and whatnot. You got the stock
market doing its thing. Give us where you think things
are going in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 25 (01:05:23):
I couldn't be more excited on an investment basis, but
also on a political and economic basis. Not because the
economic path ahead is so clear. These guys are gonna
They're gonna unleash the American business machine. And what has
me so excited is Trumps talking about that recent tax deal, right,

(01:05:44):
the new corporate tax deal, talking about fifteen percent tax.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
I heard that.

Speaker 25 (01:05:49):
My jaw dropped and my jaw dropped because I sat there,
and for years I've said, you know what they ought
to do. They got to look at every company that's
going to come back to the United States and manufacture.
I'd be okay with them giving them a tax holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
I would too.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
I've always thought that you tell them you could you
bring your stuff back here. We're going to give you
three years you don't pay any taxes, and you build
up and you get yourself momentum, and then we'll gradually
get you into whatever it is.

Speaker 25 (01:06:13):
The reason they left is it's not competitive. We need
to make it competitive so people can make money investing
in manufacturing outfits. Right That's why we have the rest belt.
It's also one of the biggest reasons that we've had
the painkiller and heroin epidemic in this country. Right is
those jobs leaving, so there's costs beyond just costs. Second
of all, even if the corporation isn't paying taxes, all

(01:06:35):
the employees are, all the executives are. You're getting ex
size tax, you're getting property tax, you're getting sales taxes. Rightly,
we need to be competitive. We got to compete for
our business people. We got to compete for our companies,
and I love this idea. Man, give them a lower
tax bracket.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
I love that.

Speaker 25 (01:06:54):
Let's rebuild the middle class and the working class of
this country that made it great. Oh you're not going
to have a working class because AI get out of here, man.
Somebody still has to build the infrastructure, the bridges, the roads,
all that kind of Let's make that profitable again. Let's
make nails and screws here. Let's make door handles, and
we can do that through just tax policy. Let's pretend

(01:07:18):
like we actually want business here.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
I mean that right there is a nutshell act like
you want the companies here. Treat them like you want
them here, and everybody will say, well, you're going to
give them a break here and there. Yeah, you know
what they what they're doing. You are just a person.
They bring with them tens of thousands of workers who
are going to be paying taxes, building into communities, doing
things that we're going to help you. I've always said this,
then don't have them come back and take one hundred

(01:07:42):
percent of nothing.

Speaker 25 (01:07:43):
This is one of the things that has got me
the most excited right now. You have all these people
out here who are in search of perfection, and we
constantly sit there and go and we have a saying
at our firm perfection is the enemy of progress. Yeh, yeah,
there is no perfection. What I want to see is
move another step forward. Let's make it better, the unbelievable opportunity.

(01:08:04):
I sat there and listened to an interview the other
night last night actually with Glenn Beck and Anna Kasparian
from Young Turks. To listen to her and Glenn Beck talk,
they sound like two people from the same party.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
She has been not red pilled, but she's been She's
woken up to like, hey, I think a lot of
even chank of time has woken up over the last
You know, I love what he said last week. He said,
you know, who's ever asked me about anything? Because Elon said, hey,
you want to come, you know, help me cut some
of this. He goes, no Democrats ever asked me that.

Speaker 25 (01:08:34):
I was all for the wars. I was all for Afghanistan, Iraq.
I my perspective has changed. But what I don't think
that we've realized these people, guys who used to be
considered our competitors, we got caught in a bar fight
and we've been swinging for so long. We bumped up
against somebody's back, right, I just assumed it was one.

Speaker 22 (01:08:52):
Of our buddies.

Speaker 25 (01:08:53):
We turned around and realized, holy smokes, we're fighting with
the enemy, right, and we're fighting the same thing. And
like Glenn Beck said, it's made strange bedfellows. But all
of a sudden, we're sitting there going, hey, the differences
between us seem really small because they're now coming after
things that we both cherish. Bill wrights, freedom of speech right.

(01:09:13):
And I thought Glenn Beck put it perfectly in the interview.
He goes, he goes right, at the time that I
had my conversion and realized the unholy union of big
business and government, and then also simultaneously realized that so
many of the Democrats that I derided that talked about
the dangers of big business getting in with government, it

(01:09:33):
became real, he goes. I turned around and went, holy smokes, guys,
you were right about this, and he goes right. When
I did that, I realized, oh my gosh, now they're
in bed with them. I think that we have an
unbelievable cultural opportunity in front of us, where again, man
listen to Chenk Yuger and Ana Casparian and sitting there,
going we agree on more things than we don't mind blower. Look,

(01:09:58):
actions matter, and what you do and say in this
world matters. At the same time, we got to delineate
between people that we disagree with on details but agree
with on principles yea, and people that are antithetical to
our principles. Those are two different things, right, And listening
to Chenk listening to Anna, I sat there and I went, Hey,

(01:10:20):
we're brothers in arms. We've got some disagreements about but
we both agree on what makes America America. And there
is a really interesting opportunity here because out of this
And look, I'm not even telling you I think that
that this is a game set match. I'm not telling
you I think that it's done. What I'm saying is

(01:10:40):
I think there's an opportunity in front of us that
I have not seen in my lifetime that excites me.
And it excites me for positive reasons because I see
this mobilization of significant amounts of people that want the
same things and believe in the same American principles. If
they have disagreements on how to get there, right, But

(01:11:02):
what I've learned over the last ten years is if
we want the same thing but disagree on how to
get there, I can work with.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
That, absolutely right.

Speaker 25 (01:11:11):
What I can't work with is somebody that wants the opposite. Yeah,
there's a golden opportunity right in front of us, and
I'm just praying to God we take advantage of it
and doesn't slip through our fingers.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
I hope so too. I hope so too. I'm excited
twenty twenty five. I think it's going to be awesome.

As we wrap up the show this year and say
goodbye to twenty twenty four on The Chad Benson Show,
we're gonna be looking ahead to twenty twenty five obviously
as we approach it, but we should try to at
least remember what happened this year because there was so much.

Speaker 7 (01:13:51):
These repulsive scare tactics mean nothing compared to the deaths
of over thirty four thousands Polystinians.

Speaker 8 (01:14:01):
The last several minutes, we've seen these flares streaking all
across the skies over Jerusalem, and now for the first
time we're hearing the air raid sirens.

Speaker 9 (01:14:11):
And the Oscar goes to Christopher Nolan and Rob.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Oppenheimer.

Speaker 10 (01:14:18):
Former One Direction singer Liam Payne has died. Oj Simpson
has died at the age of seventy six.

Speaker 11 (01:14:25):
Oscar winning actress Maggie Smith, best known for her roles
and Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, has died.

Speaker 12 (01:14:31):
France has become the first country in the world to
make abortion a constitutional rock.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Take a look at what.

Speaker 20 (01:14:45):
Time has now come to suspend my campaign.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
I'm suspending my campaign tonight. We are going to suspend
this presidential camp acordingly, I am today suspending my campaign.

Speaker 13 (01:14:56):
Hutchinson has suspended his presidential campaign.

Speaker 14 (01:15:00):
James lomanand with being in it, government and military officials
suggested it that may be the case that there are
intelligent beings that live off off of the planet.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
Do you see how you do my makeup for work?
Very demure, very mindful.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Okay, my mother raised my sister and me.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
All right, my mother raised my sister and me.

Speaker 15 (01:15:21):
Donald Trump has been elected president, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaker 16 (01:15:26):
Our federal government has no idea, no clue, no reliable
information about these drones.

Speaker 3 (01:15:33):
Man, it's crazy, right, Like when you think about it,
from Palestinian war raging on that thing expanding because of
Iran and has Belah, You've got the what's going on
with Ukraine, all of that stuff that's on the world stage.
Then you had the Olympics, you had the European Soccer Championships,

(01:15:54):
you had a great Super Bowl. We can go on
and on about sports was incredible. You're in the political
side of it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
From Trump being convicted of a gazillion felonies to Trump
surviving not one, but two assassination attempts. This is crazy
to not even.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
Going to any of the debates and still crushing everybody
in his path, to taking on the media and being
told that the world's coming to an end if he's elected,
and then him crushing Kamala Harris to now where he's at.

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
As he gets ready for the transition.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
And oh, by the way, we have things flying over
our heads and we're not quite sure what they are.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
It's been a year, kids, it has been a year.

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
Indeed, Oh my lord, twenty twenty five is going to
be interesting, has no doubt about that. We heard Mark
Alprin earlier talk about the fact that he says, look,
Trump is in a position that he wasn't in eight
years ago, with an understanding of what he has to
do and momentum that I mean, this is generational. You

(01:17:07):
heard if you were listening last hour. If you missed it,
shame go grab the podcast. Our buddy Zach Abraham talking
about all the excitement about where we think, yeah, the
economy's going this and the other.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
But he talked about the fact that you have.

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
Groups of people now who it's almost like the veil
has been lifted and they're like, Okay, Trump's in He's
not going to destroy the world. He's throwing some interesting
stuff out there. Some of that stuff is populous, and
I agree with people on the left, So why not
give him a chance. The people that hate him are

(01:17:42):
always gonna hate him because he's business and businesses. Well,
it's good for them to have it the monster they
believe is going to destroy the world to fight against.
But the reality is is he's not that. I wouldn't
be surprised if not one, but two seized fires and
or peace agreements are in place before he ever takes office,

(01:18:03):
and that's all because of Trump. I would not be
surprised by that. I mean, he's got some work to
do when it comes to getting some of these people
over the line. RFK Junior, you know hag Seth Tulsi.
But I think a vast majority of we're gonna get overline.
I don't think they're gonna it's gonna They're not gonna

(01:18:25):
sweat it. I think they're gonna lie over line pretty easily.
Now it's up to him. Like I said, you get
eighteen months. I truly believe that Trump has the opportunity
to be transformational, and I think being in that bizarre

(01:18:46):
lame duck, but not a lame duck. Because he's Trump.
You'll have a chance, I think to do something special.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
I do, I really I think that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
I think that this is an opportunity that we haven't
seen in a very long time, and I think this
is in front of it, and I think he recognizes that.
I think he recognizes the potential of what his presidency
could be and the legacy, there's no doubt. And the

(01:19:22):
media is going to be caught between a rock and
a hard place because if your Trump and the economy's
kicking ass, there's peace, we've got immigration under control, and
we've addressed some of the ridiculous overspending and waste in government.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
How do you as the media combat something like that?

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
Who You've made singularly over the last nine and a
half ten years your goal to destroy it's been your
single goal to destroy Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
We will see, we will see.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
Indeed, twenty twenty five is going to be very very interesting.
Speaking of twenty twenty five, that's not quite here yet,
but twenty twenty four is first and foremost, what's up
with the shipping, because we still need to get stuff
to Gramma's house.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
For FedEx.

Speaker 37 (01:20:14):
You have until the twentieth for two day, the twenty
third for overnight, and you can even do the twenty
fourth for same day, and finally for ups. You've got
your three days select and you want a ship, that's
what you have to do. By the nineteenth second day air,
by the twentieth next day air, by the twenty third.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
There you go. Is that everywhere?

Speaker 37 (01:20:35):
People in Cleveland, Asheville, and Cobb County, Georgia have reported
some delayser loss packages. FedEx telling us this is localized
in a few markets, stemming from higher than expected volumes
and inclement weather affecting some long haul shipments.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
Okay, so you've still got a few days to get
your stuff ready to get there. Now, let's say you're
sending toys. What are the dangerous toys this year we
should watch out for. I was given a Cobra, but
it was not a good toy.

Speaker 32 (01:21:04):
A group called Watch has been issuing its list of
worst toys for fifty two years. Worse not because they're
not fun, but because they might be dangerous.

Speaker 19 (01:21:12):
In the last couple of decades or so, we've seen
a lot of these same issues crop up over and
over again.

Speaker 32 (01:21:19):
The choke James Schwartz's director of Watch the.

Speaker 19 (01:21:21):
Choking Hazards, strangulation Hazards projectiles.

Speaker 32 (01:21:25):
One item on the list kinetic sand since has kids
as young as three making ice cream cones out of
inedible sand.

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
Well, I hope your child is not going to eat that,
but all children have eaten sand, dirt and stuff like that,
so be careful out there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
What are some of the worst toys?

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
That is the question for twenty twenty four based on
watches list.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
What the hell's watch? It's actually interesting world against toys
causing harm. So you're two thousand and twenty four lists
going from ten to one. Zoo jams, Doggie, xylophone. Now

(01:22:09):
the potential see these are all got potential things like
if your kid eats a xylophone, there's some issues there.
This has the potential for choking injuries. This multicolored dog
theme instrument with sing along songs is sold for.

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
Babies as young as one and a half, so be
careful because they could eat the drum handle. Number nine
the play zone fit try flyer. This is for children
three and m so you can sit, neil or lay
on the triangular base of the try flyer.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
It's low profile wheeled riding toys.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
In addition to warnings that adult supervision is required because
we are raising a bunch of veal calves. The manufacturer
states in the box that children should never be allowed
to stand while using this product. It's a skateboard essentially.
Oh like, that's what I'm waiting for now. We released

(01:23:09):
a warning for people who have skateboards that they're dangerous.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
Don't stand on them. Well, how do I get around?
Just don't.

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
Number eight is the X Shot Poppy Playtime. Apparently it's
branded as a blaster, but these darts provide the ones
that are provided. You can shoo with enough force to
potentially cause eye injuries. By the way, pencils can also
do that, so don't stick it in your eye, snackles Sandy's.
Number seven this plush pillow like toy sold for children

(01:23:41):
as young as zero. Apparently it's a suffocation hazard. Everything
is if it goes wrong. Number six the click and
play toy remote set. It's got keys and all. I mean,
you could take this at any given time. You could
just you could swallow it. Rumblers inflatable furious fist at

(01:24:03):
number five, so no warnings or cautions. A revider regarding
the potential for blood force. Number four is the kinetic
sand they just heard it. We talked about the Transformer
earth Spark cyber sleeve is number three, and apparently you
could shoot your eye out with that kid.

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
The bristle hedgehog.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
It's supposed to be a cuddly toy for kids as
young as twenty four months.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
But.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
If these little hairs fall out, kids could eat them
and die. But number one is the Panovic toy cult
forty five pistol, and it looks just like that a pistol,
So as we know that could be dangerous. There you go,
some of the dangerous toys out there. Jeez, Veal Calves,

(01:24:54):
I don't know what else to say. They're toys, for
God's sakes. You know you could put your eye out,
you put you try out with anything. For God's sakes. God,
it's so frustrating. Let kids be kids. So that's why
we have warnings on everything.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
Lawyers, damn it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Mypellow right now has an amazing Christmas gift still in
time for the holidays, the classic Mypellow fourteen eighty eight.
What are you waiting for? Any law levels? So what
does that mean? As much filling as you want or
as little as you want. That's what it means. The
patented myfilm right now fourteen eight, the classic Mypellow lowest
price it's ever been. They've got deep discounts on all

(01:25:30):
of the Mypellow products and take advantage of it right now.
They're going to extend the money back Morante sixty days,
but further if you act before Christmas. They've got tons
of other things like the Mypellow slippers, the sandals, the towels,
the pet beds, the mattress toppers, you name it, they've
got it. But the ultimate and ultimate, the thing that

(01:25:51):
started all the Mypello classic Mypello just fourteen eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Can't jump the blood, what Trumphy.

Speaker 3 (01:27:02):
Let's find out what's trending on the old interwebs on
this Wednesday. Start with Twitter, because it's always entertaining. Vote
no spending bill, fifteen hundred pages. Look through that and
get back to me in five minutes. USPS the United
States Postal Service. Trump's at it again, trying to privatize it.

(01:27:27):
We have so many other things do we need a
post office? It's a question I've asked myself for many moods. Pennix,
it's quarterback. It's going to be in for Kirk Cousins.
Who is not being Kirk Cousins right now? Shut it down?
Trending That, of course is the government.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
Shut it down. Shut it down. Electoral College.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
Apparently the Democrats want to get rid of that. Cody
Bellingcherch traded yesterday from the Cubs to the junkies. Merry Christmas,
which is just always good. Also trending. Justin Trudeau, Head
over to Yahoo Justin Trudeau number one trending thing. Can
he hold on to power? Probably not. I think he's

(01:28:09):
in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:28:10):
I said yesterday, nine years I feel like it's time
that we uh maybe look, you know, for a different voice.

Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
And the trolling of Trump, by the way, is just
every day. It is something spectacular about Canada being a state.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
What do you see yesterday? I tweeted out. It was
something like, I hate to see a great state like
this go through this. We wish Governor Trudeau all the best.
Just so herschel Walker the Bahamas.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
He's been pointed to, you know, the ambassador to the Bahamas,
Tom Cruise, highest honor that the Navy gives to a civilian.
He got Nancy Pelosi with her hip replacement? Would that
cost US America? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show?

then they're everywhere because a lot.

Speaker 39 (01:29:38):
Of drones authorized you set up there.

Speaker 9 (01:29:41):
I think one started and they all guys, everybody's wanted
to get in a deal.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
But we're following the quote well said, sir, you're still president.
That's interesting. I didn't know that. I was unaware that
you were still president.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
We were wondering what happened to you, and we saw
old what's name two billion do dollars loser. That's not
very nice just to be the governor now of California,
which maybe she does.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
I mean, it's it's it's there's worse consolation prizes if
you ended up being governor of California, especially because if
you win the nomination, and I would find it hard
to believe that she wouldn't that We're not easily gonna
walk to the governor's mansion in California. Good gig if

(01:30:29):
you can get it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:30):
If that's your consolation prize three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chat Benson Show is
your Twitter tweet at US text the program coming up.
It is the greatest Christmas movie of all time. Count
it down every year. So we've done horror, we've done action,
we've done comedies, We've done animation.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Now it's the greatest Christmas movie of all time? What
is it?

Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
A lot of other stuff to get to and the
final show of twenty twenty four in The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
It is The Chat Betson Show, Chad.

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

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
It is the weirdest Christmas song of all time, no
doubt band Aid. It's Christmas time.

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
There's no need to be afraid.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
At Christmas time.

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
We let in life and we vanishing boy George our.

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
Plenty betas. Oh, let's hear him saying, how else do it? Business?
God say? Can we just be honest?

Speaker 27 (01:32:13):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
It is a Christmas song about famine in Africa and
how awesome it is to be us and you guys
suck because you're starving, so let us help you with
some rice. Wait what? It is a fortieth anniversary of
band Aid and.

Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
There's all kinds of excitement around it, you know, forty
years later. For me, it's like, oh my god, I
remember it and it was just it was amazing to
watch it all because it gave us live aid the
whole nine yards. But at the same time, as I
got older and you really listen to the words, You're like,
Holy Mother of God. Wait, did Bono just say tonight,
thank God it's them instead of you?

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
He did, And they won't be snow in Africa this
Christmas time. They don't even know it's Christmas.

Speaker 3 (01:33:09):
Well, that's wrong because it's about Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Bible
is older than the Bible that all of us, the
King James and.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
Also that's older than that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:17):
It's just so.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
Yes, it was a great idea, but it's a weird thing.

Speaker 3 (01:33:23):
We have this bizarre love affair with a song, and
I am guilty of it totally.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
So Bob Geldof put it together.

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
And Bob Geldof was in a band called the Boomtown Rats.
So Boomtown had a bunch of big hits. I Don't
Like Monday's was probably their biggest hit, and they were
coming out of that pop punk scene and it had
become this new kind of new wave like new romantic.

(01:33:56):
De durand Durant the MTV world, and he readily admitted
he would probably never have done this if it wasn't
for the fact that he didn't have anywhere to go.

Speaker 2 (01:34:09):
He was home that night at six o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:34:13):
And he talked about the fact that there he was
sitting at home, I didn't know what to do. Six
o'clock and the news comes on and the first report
is about Africa and seven million people starving to death.
And it was even to this day if you've ever

(01:34:34):
seen Michael Burke, who was the BBC reporter that was
there filing a report, he was there for something else,
to talk about some of the money that had gotten there,
the wars that were taking place. And it was this
report though, that and these chilling words that really kind
of set Bob Geldof and gave him the impetus that

(01:34:54):
we've got.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
To do something.

Speaker 40 (01:34:56):
Dawn and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill
of night on plane outside Korum, it lights up a
biblical famine. Now in the twentieth century, this place, say
workers here is the closest thing to Hell on earth.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
Yeah, And because over the last two weeks it is
the push to get this to number one in England.
Being number one at Christmas time is like super important
for all bands of Britain.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
It's always been that way.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
It's a big tradition and there's a big push to
get this thing to number one, which it will because
it's new fortieth anniversary and they've done four different versions
of this and they're all melded together and it's pretty cool.
But Michael Burke, like everybody else who's been associated with
the project's been out and about, like talking about being
there and the report, and they asked him kind of

(01:35:45):
what was it like, and he was trying to put
it into words, you know, forty years later, what it
was like. But it's the stuff that we didn't see
or experience that stays with him.

Speaker 41 (01:35:57):
I suppose it's the things that you did and experience
watching it on TV. It's the smells, it's the the
background sound, the grooms and you know it all. Yeah,
it awakens memories that never gone away.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
I suppose.

Speaker 3 (01:36:17):
He talked about being there and when they got there
it was night. They knew there were a lot of
people out there, how many he didn't know. They went
in their tent and they woke up the next day
and that's when he saw throngs of humanity that were
all starving and dying, and they were bringing bodies up
because like tons of kids were dying to day and

(01:36:37):
and adults. And they would just lay him in front
of these tents because they had nowhere else to put them.
It wasn't like they were doing it for television. They
weren't even noticing it. That stuff, that's just what they
had been doing. It was he said, horrific. So that's
when Bob says, we have to do something. So what's
he do? He gets everybody he can think of because
he's still kind of like he's in his like late

(01:36:59):
twenties or stories older than all these other pop stars,
So he gets everybody he can think of to come
do this because he sits on it overnight. He's like,
I got to make phone calls. I got to get
people here. We got to do something about this.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
What are your memories of that first recorder and how
it came together?

Speaker 24 (01:37:16):
Pretty much most of it, because I'm asked about it
for forty years, you know, all the time, So I'm
not sure if I'm just rehashing made up things, But no,
I do remember what. There's a documentary of all the
outtakes from the video of the Day, which I didn't
know existed, and it's so cute.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
Is the word? Yeah? Cute?

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
Because I mean I was thirteen at the time, but
all of these pop stars were not much older than me.
They were in their early twenties, some of them were
still teenagers, and they just showed up.

Speaker 24 (01:37:55):
I'm sort of groping towards being bandaid, Bob. And you
know as these spotty oigs just about out of school,
which we now know is global rock megastars, as they
spill into the studio and say what are we doing
and sort of you know, picking their noses and annoying
us in the control room with new baby Sting just

(01:38:17):
had his new baby. I just had a new baby,
and there's dogs in there. It is the complete opposite
of USA for Africa with their professionalism, and you know,
these global artists and Quincy Jones who handing out music
notes are lot but can't read, never mind music notes.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
And yet they went and they did it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:38):
He talked about the fact that nobody wanted to go first,
so Paul Young says, I'll do it. How they had
to get a concord to bring boy George over and
he walked in and he nailed it on the first take.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
And he was probably the biggest star.

Speaker 3 (01:38:50):
At the time, maybe of the bunch, but not without
controversy because they've called it poverty porn over the years.
You know, here comes the white saviors that do all
these things. And he's fine with that as long as
they're talking about it. But the other controversy for years
has always dogged him is where did all the money go?
Because it gave us live Aid, it gave us all
this awesome stuff. It even led to you know, you know,

(01:39:11):
we are the world and America for Africa and all
that stuff. But so much of the money didn't get
to where it needed to go. And that's because there
was an ongoing civil war at the time, and the
TPFL stole a ton of that money and stole a
bunch of that grain and used it to enforce themselves
to continue their fight against the the you know, the government.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
And it wasn't all his fault.

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
And he has since put together certain NGOs they give
money to groups who help, in particular.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
A lot of women, now who are.

Speaker 3 (01:39:46):
You know, trying to get out of being sex slaves
and things of that nature. But there was no doubt
that that, you know, you went in it with the
right heart. They were hoping to make a million pounds.
By the end of the time they had made eight million.
Then Live Aid came in and and it exploded and
went from there. But it is odd to think in
our world that we live in, and it's a world

(01:40:07):
of dreaded tears, that we still play a song at
Christmas and all the Christmas stations around the country that
is about a famine of biblical proportions with all of
our favorite pop stars three two, three, five, three eight,

All right, all right, We're wrapping up twenty twenty four,
and every year we wrap it up with the greatest
Christmas Movies of all time.

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):
Now we have counted down this year by genre.

Speaker 3 (01:41:55):
Horror started us out number five, greatest horror movie for
Chris time. Crampis then, of course the controversial won best
Action Christmas movie. That is die Hard. Of course, some
people say that's not a Christmas movie. It just happened
to be at Christmas. Okay, Animation, that one was simple.

(01:42:20):
Nothing beats a nightmare before Christmas Yesterday comedy heard from
some of you who love Elf and a few other things,
But Christmas Vacation got mostly a big thumbs up. And
now we come to the greatest Christmas movie of all time?

Speaker 2 (01:42:38):
Are you guys ready.

Speaker 22 (01:42:42):
Very Christmas, It's time for the Great Christmas countdown, the
five greatest Christmas Movies of all time?

Speaker 23 (01:42:55):
Very Christmas, you filthy animal.

Speaker 2 (01:42:57):
Surprised Eddie.

Speaker 25 (01:42:58):
If I woke up tomorrow, my heads soone of the
car But I wouldn't be more surprised than I am
right Nowination.

Speaker 32 (01:43:07):
You'll shoot your eye out, kid?

Speaker 23 (01:43:08):
What does you want, Barry?

Speaker 17 (01:43:09):
What do you want?

Speaker 20 (01:43:10):
You want the moon?

Speaker 26 (01:43:11):
Just say the word and I'll throw an asshole around
it and plug down.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
So this is it?

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
The greatest Christmas movie of all time? Now I know
what some of you are thinking, Well, it's gotta be.
It's a wonderful life. A Miracle on thirty fourth Street.
I love Miracle on thirty four Street. It is amazing.
It's a wonderful life. I have to be honest with you.
Jimmy Stewart winds the entire movie. And while it is

(01:43:43):
a great movie, when I think Christmas, I think of
one person, not Kevin McAllister, so settle down, but a
person who has stood the test of time more than
anybody else. More adaptations about him at Christmas than any
other character. He's been played by Guy Pierce, George C. Scott,

(01:44:05):
Michael Kaine, Bill Murray, Patrick Stewart, Albert Finnie, Jim Carrey,
just to name a feel.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
The greatest Christmas movie and.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
The greatest adaptation of that movie was done in nineteen
fifty one, played by a Scottish character actor named Alistair
sim the greatest Christmas movie of all time in England.
It was called Scrooge. Here we know it is a
Christmas carol, and it is amazing.

Speaker 39 (01:44:35):
A few of us are endeavoring to raise a fun
to buy the purse of meat and drink and means
of wals. Why because it is at Christmas time that
one is most keenly filled and abundance rejoices.

Speaker 23 (01:44:47):
What can I put you down for.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
Nothing?

Speaker 26 (01:44:52):
You wish to be anonymous?

Speaker 2 (01:44:53):
I wish to be left alone.

Speaker 26 (01:44:56):
Since you asked me what I wish, sir, that is
my answer. I hope to support the eblishments I have mentioned.
Those who are badly off must go there.

Speaker 23 (01:45:03):
Many can't go there, and some would rather die.

Speaker 26 (01:45:07):
They would rather die, They'd better do it and decrease
the surface population.

Speaker 3 (01:45:12):
Just brilliant Alas sim is the one and again. Many
people have played Scrooge, some of them have done remarkable jobs,
but nobody captured Ebenezer Scrooge like Alister sim his natural cantankerousness.

Speaker 2 (01:45:34):
Is evident. But also when everything starts to change from
the visiting of the ghost, Jacob Marley to start it off,
But it.

Speaker 23 (01:45:43):
Was only that you were a good man of business, Jacob.

Speaker 27 (01:45:48):
Mankind was my business. That Colin Wilbre was my business.
And it is this time of the rolling year I
suffer most. Yeah me, my time is nearly gone. I
come tonight to warn you that you have yet a
chance and hope of escaping my fate, and chance and

(01:46:10):
hope of my procuring him an.

Speaker 23 (01:46:12):
Easy Thank you, Jacob, You're always a good friend of mine.

Speaker 27 (01:46:17):
You will be visited by free spirits.

Speaker 23 (01:46:21):
But was that the chance of hope that you mentioned?

Speaker 26 (01:46:27):
It was.

Speaker 23 (01:46:30):
Neck case. Never mind, I think I'd rather than not
without their visits. You cannot hope to shun the path.

Speaker 22 (01:46:37):
Eye trend.

Speaker 27 (01:46:40):
Expects the first when the bell hops.

Speaker 3 (01:46:44):
Were just amazing. It is dark and haunting. The movie
was a big smash in Britain, but it didn't do
well here, and partly because it was so dark, and
out of all the adaptations of Dickens' Great a Christmas Carol,

(01:47:07):
this one really stuck to the book more than anything else,
and that's what was so amazing about it. In fact,
up until then, there'd been a ton of movies. There
was eight that were silent, two that were, as they
would say, sound or talking pictures, but this really was

(01:47:29):
the one. And there's been some great ones, by the way,
Michael Caine and the Muppets brilliant. The Mickey Mouse version
was the closest that really stuck to the material, but
it was this one right here that was amazing. I
have seen it every year since I think I was
about fourteen or fifteen, and I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
We watched it again the other night and it is incredible.
It really is.

Speaker 3 (01:47:57):
So they didn't show it here at Carnegie Hall when
they were supposed to have a big opening for it
because they thought it was too scary.

Speaker 2 (01:48:05):
They thought it was too dark and depressing, and it
kind of is, but it is also brilliant. And when
Alistair sim goes from being the cantankerous Ebenezer Scrooge to
the wonderment of getting a second chance, it is incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:48:24):
There is no other movie like it. And while there's
tons of great Christmas movies, this one has stood the
test of time. A Christmas Carol or Scrooge played by
Alistair sim And is a nineteen fifty one classic, and
it is awesome. That is the greatest Christmas movie of
all time. At Chad Benson Show is your Twitter, C
