Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the best of Chad Benson, The.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
This killing of a CEO is not just about insurance.
This is class warfare. A younger generation is pissed off
and angry, raging, looking at mom and dad and grandma
and grandpa who seemed to have it all and have

(00:38):
given much of that to them, and now they're looking
and thinking, can't afford a house. Life's too damn expensive
for me. I'm coming out of college, which I was
told I had to go to one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars upside down. If I get a job, I'm
starting at the bottom. It's taking forever. I'm having to

(01:00):
live with six roommates. Even though I've got a great job.
My life feels like it's crap. And all the while,
they've been going to school and being told that capitalism
is evil, capitalism is bad, and all the while, those
same people that are saying that are collecting great paychecks
have a comfortable life. And then they kick you into
a world that kicks you right in the grundle the Minui.
You stepped out and you feel ill prepared. Luig, you

(01:22):
wanted to start a conversation, He did about insurance. But
it's more than just that. People, especially a younger generation,
who are celebrating him, are pissed and angry because there's.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
A long simmering rage right now amongst Americans, and I
think a lot of them see this as sort of
a representation of their rage exploding in the most inappropriate fashion,
because what will this actually get us other than I mean,
in the immediate term, probably just more security for more
CEOs around the country. I think that if you want

(01:55):
to institute actual change, all of those people who are
going on TikTok right now and celebrate him and talking
about his looks and all of that, they should be
going and doing sit ins on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
They should be going, and the should have got the policy.
I mean, I just don't know that there's anything to
your point. People are almost statistically celebrating the murder of
this guy, and I'm not sure that it's connected to
any real action.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
No, no, because they don't know what to do. It
moves too slowly for them. All the things they love
came because of capitalism, but they feel that capitalism isn't
going to benefit them at all, and so they look
and they've now deemed the CEO as all that is evil,

(02:40):
especially if you're white. Oh, if you're white, it's a
double evil. There are wanted posters like it is the
Old West. There are wanted posters around New York and
several other places from Wall Street down, like it is
the Old West, Like we're coming after you, CEO.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
Wanted posters have been around the city as fears grow
that copycats could target other corporate executives.

Speaker 7 (03:05):
Right well, Jim, there is a real sense of nervousness
and even fear in C suites really across the country.
This fatal shooting in Midtown Manhattan, it's been a real
wake up call for business leaders and for boards of directors.
At the security firms that are paid top dollars to
protect executives. They say that their phones had been ringing

(03:28):
off the hook.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I bet you to think about this. There is they're looking.
People are looking. You're twenty five, and you've got debt,
you're back living at home with mom and dad. You're
on the internet half the day. You've got a job
that you feel as soulless. You were told to do
all of these things, and you've done all of these things,

(03:49):
and you've come out and you're like, oh my god,
I'm back at home now what And if you did
move out, you probably got one, two, three roommates. You're
Robin Peter to pay Paul. You feel like you've been
sold to bill of goods by the old folk. And
you're looking up.

Speaker 8 (04:03):
And you're seeing these guys and gals who've.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Got all this money, and you're angry and pissed they
got the American dream. You feel like that American dream
is slipped away. And I'm not talking about the twenty
six year old who's married with a kid who skipped college,
went out and got a job and is I'm talking
about a lot of these A vast majority of these

(04:28):
people you see online who are supporting this guy, college
educated chances are middle to upper middle class or even more,
and bitter and angry because the things that they've seen
their entire life, those things are unachievable until mom and
dad die, which is when they're going to realize that

(04:49):
we're gonna have the greatest transfer of wealth and history.
And they're like, well, mom and dad bought a house
for you know, three tomatoes and a life saver, and
if I want a more, it's just going to be
twelve thousand dollars a month to go along with my
three thousand dollars a month for my college tuition that
I'll be paying for the rest of my life and
into eternity.

Speaker 8 (05:09):
I'm pissed and angry.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
Ever since this news broke, one veteran security executive told
me that corporate America is nervous, and he said healthcare
is to target now, but who's next? And so yes,
companies are considering a range of steps to try to
ramp up security. They're increasing the number of security personnel

(05:32):
and the amount of technology in offices and even in
the residences of executives. They're urging executives to delete their
digital footprints, including stuff like the floor plans of their
homes and any information that's out there about where their
kids may go to school.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
That is scary if you are a father or mother
and you're in the C suite and you're now having
to think about what you're going to do with your.

Speaker 8 (06:00):
Kids and how to protect them.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
This isn't like you ever watch that movie Man on
firew with Denzel Washington. If you go to some of
these countries, Mexico being one of them, kidnapping is. It's
a business, but there are professionals that do it throughout
South America, Columbia, Argentina, Brazil. It's a business and they

(06:23):
they're not really interested in killing you, but they want money,
and usually it's for some left wing faction. It's a business.
Is that movie Proof of Life with Russell Crowe remember
that it's a business. And so in these countries they
have bodyguards. Here, some leaders have some bodyguards. That's gonna

(06:45):
change big time because now they all have targets. They
are public enemy number one and people are pissed and
angry for a lot of reasons. I'm watching a great
show I highly recommend. It's called Landman, and I think
we're on the fifth episode last night. John Ham is
in it. Billy Bob Thornton is the Landman. He is amazing,

(07:07):
got Demi Moore, you have just a ton of stars,
Ali Lotterson it.

Speaker 8 (07:13):
It is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
But it's about the world of oil and gas and
Billy Bob plays the Landman guy who basically secures all
the rights. He runs everything on the ground and he
secures all the rights for the mineral leases and he's
got to deal with everybody from a pissed off angry
cattle rancher who's you know, upset that he's not getting

(07:40):
enough in his mind for the stuff underneath the ground.

Speaker 8 (07:44):
To the cartels, and John hann plays the guy.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
He's like the as far as the money man, he
is the this is his company. And in the last episode,
there was a thing where they all get together, they're
all the oil company exacts, and they're sitting inside of
a room having lunch discussing the future of oil and
gas and green energy and all of this stuff. And

(08:10):
John Hamm delivered an amazing speech and I waited to
check it out because what he says at the end
is what I think a lot of people who are
younger look at my generation a little bit older and
how they think, because remember it's not just about the
CEO of United and Insurance. They think you're destroying the

(08:34):
world with climate change and all the fossil fuels. How
dare you they think you're doing this over here to
destroy whatever it is that you know that that is
the cause to sure of the day, those things, It.

Speaker 8 (08:47):
All adds up, and I thought this was just brilliant.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
And I was watching the last night, I'm like, that
is the truth because it doesn't matter what you do.

Speaker 9 (08:55):
Now yellowmen and so many shareholder meetings, you forgot what
it is we actually do for a living.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
We are well diggers.

Speaker 9 (09:03):
We don't nor can we ever control how our product
is used or.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
What it is used for.

Speaker 9 (09:09):
There's nothing you can do to make an engine run
cleaner because I don't build vengines. I don't care what
the governor California says about electric vehicles. I don't care
how many career college students block London traffic or spray
paint of sculpture. I care that the price of oil
stays between seventy six and eighty eight dollars a barrel.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
That is what we should be discussing.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
The world has already convinced itself that you are evil,
and I am evil for providing them the one thing
they interact with every day, and they will not be
convinced otherwise. Stop wasting your time, Stop wasting mind.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I love it. These people, young generation of angry, pissed
off people and activists. They don't care. They don't care
that you're a CEO of this company or that company.
You are deemed evil and the problem. It's not about
healthcare it's about capitalism. That's what this is about. The

(10:05):
same people that would throw, you know, crap on a
moment lease if they got a chance to scream and
yell about fossil fuels are the same people celebrating this guy.
And they may have different outlooks on things, but the
thing that they have in common it's capitalism and they

(10:27):
hate it.

Speaker 7 (10:28):
There's also a sense that this killing really made it
clear that companies need to extend the security blanket that
exists for those top level CEOs down to their lieutenants,
because there are a lot of massive corporations out there,
like United Healthcare, that maybe the security for those division

(10:48):
CEOs does not rise to the level that it does
for the number one CEL, but perhaps it really should.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
We're going to find out is there a copycat out there?
But when somebody said this is about healthcare, that conversation
has been started. But he was anti capitalistic, and all
these people I see celebrating outside of the ladies who
just think he's dreamy, when you watch them, it's rage
and anger at the one percent, at the white man, colonialism,

(11:22):
fossil fuels, et cetera, et cetera. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson

Speaker 1 (12:55):
You're listening to the best of Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
There's no doubt that the president is going to enter
office with a little bit of a honeymoon.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Take a look here.

Speaker 10 (13:17):
Donald Trump has a fifty five percent approval rating. That's
not normally a support level we see for him as
it relates to his handling of the transition. Right now,
forty five percent disapprove.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Wait, that can't be right, you guys. Hold on, is
it broken? Nope, it says it's fitth I'm gonna hit
it again. Man numbers right, fifty five percent approval rating,
what how can that be?

Speaker 10 (13:39):
Compare this to eight years ago when Donald Trump first
won the presidency in November sixteen. At this point, he
was at forty six percent approval of his handling of
the transition.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
So Trump is coming in with a head of steam.
Why is that. Let's be real for a second, for
those of you who hate Trump, since he's been re elected,
handle himself much more presidential, Like, let's be honest there
for a second.

Speaker 8 (14:04):
I know it's hard for some of you out there
because they're like, oh God.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Secondly, people looking over at Ukraine, looking over at what's
going on there, and they feel like there's some movement.
They feel kind of like, Okay, maybe this guy was
right about Ukraine. Maybe the end is going to be
coming much faster. When everybody said that, oh, there's no
way he could end this thing, he might try to
get this thing done before he even gets into office. Wow,

(14:29):
what a coup that would be. Secondly, they look at
the chaos going on around the world, and most importantly
for us here at home, all of the politicians who
called him a Nazi, a dictator, all of the things
have been seen taking pictures with him, shaking hands, breaking bread,

(14:51):
if you will, and they're thinking to themselves, Yeah, you
know what, you guys have lied to us a whole bunch,
so maybe we're going to give him a a little
bit more of a buffer than we did last time.
And I think the fact that nobody's paying attention to
the media, they're not the best thing that happened to
the media in the last several weeks has been the

(15:17):
CEO shooter because he is taking everybody's eyes off Trump
and everything three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three. At Chad Benson Shows, your Twitter, your Instagram,
you're an Instagram and Facebook and everything were down last night.
I think everything's working out. But you can also go
and get Chad Benson Show seven on TikTok while at

(15:41):
Last and Chad Benson Show TV like and subscribe. We
appreciate when you do that right here on The Chad
Benson Show. But also off their missteps and that the
way that they've handled all of this stuff when it
came to Trump, that has been their really I think

(16:02):
they're saving grace over the last ten days. Speaking of Trump,
the transition is happening, not that transition, getting his team
ready and Cash Bettel yesterday is going to be taking
over for Christopher Ray who stepped down was of course
in you know, is that the capital is going talking
to all the senators and whatnot, And of course the

(16:23):
media wants to know, are you gonna come after all
of Trump's and bonets transition?

Speaker 11 (16:28):
And I'll be ready to go.

Speaker 12 (16:30):
Are you gonna be seeking retribution against Donald Trump's political assonans?

Speaker 9 (16:32):
Or sorry?

Speaker 13 (16:34):
Which your reaction the right destination.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
We look forward to a very smooth transition at the FBI,
and I'll be ready to go on day one. Why
are you ask? Are you coming after people? Are you
going to be arresting people? Is it going to be happening?
Tell us now we want to know who's it going
to be. That is the dumbest thing in the world.
It is, it is, but it's great for the met
And this is why you want to know why Trump's
approval ratings up and he hadn't even done anything. Is

(16:57):
because stuff like that? That because more interested in the
the Is he coming for the retribution? Is he because
that they think is going to sell. It may work
for their audience, but your audience is dwindling and you
don't have any credibility, and people are like, well, how
could they get credibility where you're gonna have to move
all these people out because nobody buys what they're saying,
and if they now start to go in a different path,

(17:19):
people are gonna think they're hypocrites. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three At Chad Benson Show, it's
your Twitter, your Instagram. A lot of stuff coming up,
including Christmas movie countdown. We're doing it by genres today
it's horror. Ooh interesting, I know, right, So Chad.

Speaker 13 (17:35):
Benson Show, Sun, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
This is the best of Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 14 (18:04):
I'm center building and a person in a chair. And
you paid for it, although you may be unaware. You
paid for the paper, and you paid for the phony
pick for everything they need to deny you what you're old.
There ain't no you and United Health. There ain't no
meeting in the company. There ain't not us in the
private trust. There's hardly humans and your man and he.

(18:26):
Way back in seventy and seven, mister Richard T. Burke
started buying each of most putting federal grants to work,
being fifty billion bucaloos last year. The warm Buffet of Health,
the Jeff Bezos a feater. The CEOs come and go
and want just win the agreedients you got back, the
cake you get. But if you get sick, cut your
fingers for luck because old Richard T.

Speaker 15 (18:47):
Burke ain't giving.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
Him number one. Well the bullet Oh wait, that's wrong.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
That's the United Healthcare folks song there about how much
the who heads it up, the founder, is horrible individual. Indeed,
we're getting more into it next hour. When it comes
to the business of healthcare, and I think that's important

(19:16):
because it is a business. They run it as such.
It is not human beings, it is not patients. It
is not relationships between the healthcare provider i e. Your doctor,
your nurse, practitioner, whatever it is. And you it is
a business and you are X amount of dollars and

(19:38):
your X amount of risk. Let's talk about that next hour.
But first, you know, I don't know what to say
about San Diego in the Insanity so Board meeting the
other night, because I don't know if you guys areware
of this. There's a new guy in town, the new sheriff.
When it comes to San Diego, the country, and when

(20:02):
it comes to immigration. His name's Donald Trump. Forty seventh
president soon to be of the United States of America,
was the forty fifth and is not a fan of
immigration being illegally done. Who should be the numbers? By
the way New York Times put him in there, like,
all right, we'll be honest, the worst ever under Biden,

(20:23):
not even close. It's not even close on average that
we know of. These are the that we know of.
Two and a half millionaire that is insane. So what
are they gonna do? Well, San Diego decided they're gonna
be the front line of sanctuary cities. San Diego decide

(20:45):
that because you see they're insane. Then we're not talking
about again. This whole thing with mass deportation and self
deportation is up, and we'll talk about that in a
little bit. But this thought process of it's everybody that

(21:06):
needs to be protected.

Speaker 8 (21:09):
What about the ones in jail?

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Nope, they absolutely need to be protected. Are you kidding me?
So there was one loan vote in the Bard of
Supervisors the other night. There's three to one to make
sure that they do everything they possibly can to not
assist Ice in taking people that are already in custody

(21:34):
for crimes and deporting them.

Speaker 16 (21:37):
This policy Belok goes beyond California's existing sanctuary laws by
adding an additional layer of bureaucracy that hinders local law
enforcement from directly notifying ICE about illegal immigrants who are
currently in our jails and they have committed heinous crimes
including child abuse or endangerment, possession an unlawful deadly weapon,

(22:01):
gang related offenses, a crime resulting in death or involving
personal affliction or great bodily injury, possession or use of
a firearm, and the commission of an offense torture, rape,
and kidnapping.

Speaker 8 (22:15):
That is Jim Desmond.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
He was the lone voice of sanity at the board
the other night saying, look are we really doing this?
So you're gonna you're gonna add another layer in essentially
prohibiting ICE and local law enforcement working together with somebody
who's in custody, who has committed a crime and or

(22:39):
is being held for committing an alleged crime, or may
have already been through the system and have self I mean,
have deportation orders.

Speaker 8 (22:51):
You're gonna put that layer there.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Remember, we're not talking about the person walking down the street,
which is what they always want to make it out about.
This is everybody, including the people that have committed crimes.

Speaker 16 (23:04):
So under this policy, and if a legal immigrant commits
one of these serious crimes, San Diego County would be
legally prohibited from directly coordinating with ICE. This effectively protects
the offenders from deportation, allowing them to remain in our
communities where they could cause that same harm. Again, we
have seen the devastating consequences of such policies across the nation,

(23:28):
and these tragedies are preventable, but sanctuary laws allow them
to happen by allowing illegal criminals back into our communities
instead of into the hands of ICE.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
It is insane and it goes back to what I've
been saying.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
You've got to find a way to hold these cities
accountable by taking away any immunity that they would have
free of civil liability and maybe prosecution criminally. If you
are to hide somebody who is a known criminal, so

(24:05):
you could, you know, go out and virtue signal and
in doing so, that person goes out and commits another
crime that causes damage and or death and harm to
somebody else. You should be able to come after them
civilly because you have the opportunity to deport them.

Speaker 8 (24:27):
You have the opportunity to surrender them to ICE.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
And by the way, ICE is not some this is
not the Gestapo, this is not some foreign adversaries. We're
handing them over to that are going to take them
out and execute them. They are then going to deport
them back from whence they came. But no, they won't
do that.

Speaker 16 (24:50):
San Diego County is already spending five million dollars annually
of taxpayer money to provide legal counsel for illegal immigrants
facing deportation, no matter what the reason is that they're
being deported. This proposed legislation, to me, seeks to prioritize
the interest of illegal criminal immigrants over the safety of

(25:10):
law abiding immigrants and citizens. I don't think we can
continue down this path.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
But you're going to Sam Jim Desmond, there is the
lone voice of reason on the board in San Diego
saying this, How could you do this? How could you
say now we're going to protect people that have committed
crimes in this country. You're currently sitting in jails, and
your number one thing that you want to do is
make sure that the federal government, again not the Gestapo,

(25:39):
not some foreign adversaries. The federal government can't take them.
You're going to do all you can to hide them.
You're gonna do all you can to protect them over
the citizens and residents legally in San Diego, and quite frankly,
this is this is pretty much California across the board
is what they're doing. This is it to stand up
to the e that is Donald Trump.

Speaker 16 (26:01):
We cannot let San Diego count and become the next
headline for an avoidable tragedy. These policies and our flawed,
but they're reckless and they endanger every member of our community.
Let's prioritize safety over politics, justice over ideology, and protection
of innocent lives above all.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Else I'll not be supporting the good for you just
truly absurd. But they want to do what I want
to virtue signal, and they come up with, well, the
immigrant community is such an important part of the community.
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah. We're not talking about them.

(26:39):
We're talking about people that are gang members. We're talking
about people that have committed hand his grinds. We're talking
about people that are a danger and threat to our community.
That's what we're talking We're not talking about the person
out the street who mowte your luck or clean your
house or works in construction. We're talking about people that
are dangerous. We're talking about people that are already in
a position of being apprehended because they've been apprehended for
other crimes, or they've got notice that they must be

(27:04):
removed from the country because of their failure to get asylum.
But they still stayed here and committed crimes. And you're
still willing to go out and say sorry, we thumb
our nose at you. That is just so reckless, so irresponsible,
and so California right there. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Fans and shows.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
We count down all kinds of stuff during our year
because we enjoy it's fun. Right, It's not gonna talk
politics all the time. There's so many other things to
talk about. It's not what life's about. Life's about all
kinds of stuff. And I love movies, as you guys know.
So after we count down our top five Christmas songs,
I said, well, last year we did Christmas movies, but

(29:33):
let's do something a little bit different with Christmas movies
this year. So this year we're counting down the best
Christmas movies by genre, and today we're gonna start with
the horror genre because quite frankly, I don't think people
realize the horror genre and Christmas go together, much like
horror and Halloween. Do spent a ton of great horror
movies throughout the years, and I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 8 (29:55):
If you think Graham Lint was it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Really. It's a kind of a puppet movie. I don't
really call that a horror movie, but there's been a
lot of great ones. Got some slasher films out there.
Black Christmas was amazing. They've done that a couple of times.
Been incredible, great slasher movie. There's a bunch of really
good scary horror movies out there. So today I'm going

(30:19):
to give you the best, in my opinion, horror movie
that you can go out there and watch. It's entertaining,
little family involved, some humor, and some scares. Are you ready?
Very Christmas?

Speaker 17 (30:34):
It's time for the Great Christmas countdown, the five Greatest
Christmas Movies of all time.

Speaker 15 (30:45):
Merry Christmas.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
I felt the animal.

Speaker 18 (30:47):
Surprised Eddie if I woke up tomorrow with my headphone
at the car, But I wouldn't be more surprised than
I am.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Right now.

Speaker 15 (30:55):
I want to less you shoot your eye out?

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Kid?

Speaker 15 (30:58):
What is j want?

Speaker 6 (30:59):
Barry?

Speaker 15 (31:00):
What do you want?

Speaker 3 (31:01):
You want? The moon?

Speaker 14 (31:02):
Just say the word and I'll throw a glasshole around
it and pug down.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
All right, let's talk Christmas horror movies.

Speaker 19 (31:07):
Now.

Speaker 8 (31:07):
Like I said, there's been a.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Lot of really really good ones. This one came out
in twenty fifteen, Michael Doherty directed. He's directed the Trick
or Treat movies. It's're amazing. He directed King Kong and
Godzilla and the last several of those. He's done some
big things. But he absolutely loves this movie and.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
It is interesting.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
It's based on folklore, folklore, yes, yes, yes, going back
quite away. So the movie is called Crampus and it's
set like in the East Coast, you know, maybe Upper
New York, kind of a Buffalo Area's families all getting together.
Adam Scott, great actor, Tony Kleett, great actress, just a
great ensemble cast.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
And Tony Colllett and Adam Scott.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Are kind of the yuppies right, and her sister and
brother in law coming and they're very much like you know,
meat and potatoes and they it just it's a clash
from the start. And Adam Scott's mother lives there and
she is she's German, let's just say that. And it

(32:14):
is awesome, it is creepy, it is all of the things.
Oh boy, crampis your best Christmas scary movie. It's the
most wonderful time. It's the hot Christmas.

Speaker 14 (32:39):
Christmas's Christmas with those holidays.

Speaker 20 (32:55):
See Nicholas is not coming this year instead a much
darker ancient spirit. He and his helpers did not come
to give, but to take. He is the shadow of

(33:20):
Saint Nicholas.

Speaker 21 (33:22):
Nothing that's gonna happen on Christmas so good.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
And part of the reason it's so great is, first
of all, the atmosphere, because it starts out where you know,
they're trying to have like a Christmas dinner, and it
just goes sideways, and the fighting and what starts out
as a beautiful day of the snow out there turns
to fog and power outages, and the fog snow is
you can't see a foot. It's like a blizzard, but
it's only in this neighborhood and it is so weird

(33:52):
and it's so eerie, but it's awesome. And when Grandma
Onmi tells the story there it is they do this
animation in the middle of it and it is incredible.
And then he shows up. Then Crampis doesn't come alone.
So who's Crampis? Crampis actually is. Think of him as
Saint Nicholas's or Santa Claus brother cousin. And the bad

(34:17):
little boys and girls, the ones who can plain, they
don't get cold, they get the Crumpus and in the
movie Max, the kind of the star of the movie,
the kid, he's mad at everybody, and he tears up
his Santa Claus letter and throws it out and it
gets into the wind and away it goes, and then
it's all hell breaks loose. You would think this is
a bad guy, this is the evil creature or whatever

(34:39):
it is. Here's the thing about Crampis. Crampis and actually
Santa Claus are like best friends. And you don't really
want to know what Crampis does to kids back in
the folklore days in Austria and Germany where they still
the stories because let's just say, he carries a basket
to take the kids away. Sometimes the hell, sometimes the ground.
A little creepy, I know, a lot of fun, though
very creepy, a lot of heartwarming moments, even though the

(35:02):
families seem to not get along. It is. It is fun,
and it is creepy, and it is all of the things.
Crampis your number one Christmas horror movie. We're going to
be talking about this next hour.

Speaker 22 (35:14):
The number of them, the fact that they are so large,
the fact that fifty of them came in off the
Ocean in Ocean County, which is where I was, and
I talked, you know, to several people who saw them
coming in in droves.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
That right there, New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chadminton Show,
your Twitter, your Instagram, all of the other things. He's
asking serious questions about what the hell is going on
on the coast because these drones are big as cars.
They are coming fast, and they disappear anytime light comes

(35:51):
on them. And it went from oh, maybe somebody's doing
something too. If it's not aliens, it's probably an adversary.
And if that is true, that is also alarming. We're
gonna talk about that a bunch of other things. You
could reach out to us across all of our social
media at Chad Benson Show, your Twitter, your Instagram, Chad
Benson Show TV on YouTube, and so much more. If

(36:12):
you're mistening to the show, also grab the podcast. We
appreciate that it is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
This is the best of Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
And like that, Siria fell fifty years of rule by
the Asad family fifty years of rule and over the
last decade or so help with the Russians and Iran,
it all fell apart, the speed of which was incredible.

(37:17):
But it's over. Now, it's done, and now the chaos,
And I do mean that chaos is going to begin,
and it is going to be chaotic, it is going
to be crazy. You got all kinds of groups who
normally don't associate with each other because they can't stand
each other. But the reality is simply they had one

(37:39):
common bond. They hated Basher al Asad.

Speaker 23 (37:42):
Asade in power for more than twenty four years, oversaw
the brutal crushing of the revolution against his regime, with
hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced over more than
thirteen years of civil war. The Islamist leader of the
main rebel group, Abu Muhammad Alkalani, called the moment a
new chapter in the history of the entire Islamic nation. Algalani,
a former Al Qaeda commander who cut ties with the

(38:03):
group in twenty sixteen, has tried to project a moderate image.

Speaker 8 (38:07):
Yeah, he's anything but moderate. Now let's talk about this first.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Wow, does this weekend Iran absolutely, and boy does this
make Russia look like yet another blow to the crundle
of Moscow and the pooter here comes Basher alas sad
hat in hand. The propping up didn't work, which makes

(38:36):
Russia look bad. Plus they lost ports, ports they needed
ports that were important. Yeah, they're losing their grip throughout
the Middle East and it hurts their relationship with Iran
as well.

Speaker 24 (38:49):
This has got to be a movement of real concern
for Vladimir Putin. Your point is exactly right. Not only
does he now have to take in aside as this
uh now big rent coming with his family on bended
need of Moscow, but more importantly, it's the Russian prestige
globally that takes a real shit here.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
It's the it's the damage to the brand.

Speaker 24 (39:14):
I think you'd have to go back to Yevgeny Pregosions
ill fated attempt to topple Putin a year or so
ago to see how difficult this moment will be for Putin.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
It is ugly and a time when you're looking at
a deal being done somewhat with Ukraine. Uh, your your
relationship with Iran and Iran really stumbling here because you
got to think about how they've had their ass handed
to them when it comes to Hamas, when it comes
to Hesbla, the Hooties. And now you've got this situation

(39:51):
where you're and it was important they they backed him
because they had a port, there were areas throughout there
that they could reach, and it was an important area
for them. And now you had your side gone a moment,
and that's what this is. Absolutely so yet again another

(40:11):
moment for the Pewter.

Speaker 24 (40:12):
So as I look at the hand of cards, Putin
has going into what I think everybody increasingly presumes will
be a negotiation with Ukraine sometime in twenty twenty five.
This is a sign of real weakness for Russia. That's
good news for the United States, alongside what we see

(40:34):
from the weakening of Iran.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
And over the weekend you had Macron and Zelenski and
Trump the opening of Note Dam talking and there's no
doubt that this thing is coming, this negotiation between Ukraine
and the West and the Pewter. But this doesn't help
the Pooter at all, doesn't give any help whatsoever. Now

(40:56):
the question is how bad is this thing of a
spiral out of control? Yet another Arab spring this time
could be sprung in ways that could be absolutely ugly,
and it could happen fast. So what do you have?
You had all these groups kind of came together, wouldn't
normally hang out with one another, oppose each other, is

(41:20):
the best way to describe it. So you had the
Free Syrian Army, the National Coalition of Syrian Revolution and
opposition forces. So then you had Islamic jihad forces, so
the old Al's Nusra Aram al Sham, which is the
group that's kind of leading everything you have isis the
Islamic State as well.

Speaker 8 (41:39):
You had Kurdish.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Groups as well, including the People's Protection Unit and the
Syrian Democratic Forces, and then you had Turkish groups, Gulf
State Islamic groups and some stuff from US and a
few others.

Speaker 8 (41:55):
So what does it mean?

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Well, first of all, you got to think about all
of this stuff, everything from.

Speaker 8 (42:02):
Terrorism to.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
What roles it's like Turkey and Israel play in this,
and how unstable is this going to be because we
still have people over there for a reason. What that
reason is is, well, probably to look out and see
what's going on with the rebel groups and i e.
The terrorist groups, because they're everywhere.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Well, I think there's a good chance for terrorism to continue.
That's allow of firepower to put on seventy five strikes.
That's a lot, provided that targeting is good, provided they
didn't have notice and get away, that should put a
real dent into ISIS and any affiliated groups there in
northeast Syria. But the region is rife with conflict. There's

(42:50):
all kinds of splunter groups, there's all kinds of grudges held.
People talk to each other, but that doesn't mean they
like each other. So a lot depends in fact everything. Really,
I think on Turkey's role in working with HTS and
trying to stabilize Siia.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
That HTS group is the group that's kind of they're
called Arah al Sham, and that's kind of the dude
who heads this thing up.

Speaker 8 (43:18):
He part both of al Qaeda and.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
ISIS, came to solution with both of them, started this group,
and he's pledged that this is going to be different
in etc. You've got too many people that want to
run everything there. And he's saying all the right things,
but the reality is is he's not been a moderate.
We got a ten million dollar bounty on his head,

(43:44):
so what does that look like, is he going to
be able to come back from that, because as we
all know where, we're going to be a hunting that's
for damn sure.

Speaker 6 (43:55):
Well, I think right now we've got troops in the area,
it makes sense to keep from there. All that gives
us intelligence, It gives us a little bit of leverage
in there to deal with Turkey and others in Iraq.
We want the rack to be stable as all this
goes here. We're protecting Jordan, and of course we've got
our relationships with Israel. Levanon, of course, used to be

(44:17):
under Ottoman rule one hundred and some odd years ago,
so they won't be too happy about this. They're happy
to have maybe a sod gone his village sort of
an orphan now cut off from its easy access to
Iran and probably from a lot of Iranian support. But

(44:38):
Lebanon doesn't want to be under Turkey's domain right now.
So there's going to be a lot of tensions in
this area, and these tensions lead to war, and so
if the United States can help dampen these tensions prevent conflict,
it's good for everybody.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Yeah, good luck with that. Turkey is a big player
in this. Was Israel so Israel took over a buffer
zone already in Syria, they were part of bombing Damascus.

Speaker 8 (45:06):
We launched seventy five.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Missiles at Isis, even though they were trying to head
down and be a part of this.

Speaker 8 (45:16):
But Turkey is everybody's gonna be looking at Turkey.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
What are you going to do?

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Of course, Turkey also has its own issues because it
has issues with the Kurds, and so.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
There are allies.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
So right now we are apparently communicating through Turkey to
the HDS. Not surprising because I think President Erduwan had
a lot to do with all of this. But now
the hard part comes, the hard part, which is to
put Syria together and stop the recriminations and stop the

(45:47):
murder that's going on. You've got Christians in there, You've
got alloys, You've got Dru's as well as the Sunnis,
who are really the leaders in something like HTS.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, good luck with that. This is going to be
a hot mess with everybody. This thing's going to be.
It's going to be the Middle East version of what
Haiti is. That's my prediction. Warlords think of a new Afghanistan. Ah,
what a freaking nightmare. Three two, three, five three eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter,

(46:20):
tweet and text the program? Are just donke to Donald?

Speaker 8 (46:23):
Are you're going to be president again?

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Yesterday Donald Trump was on Meet the Press. That's right.
Got all kinds of questions from Kristen Welker, Lots of
stuff about deportation, lots of stuff about immigration.

Speaker 25 (46:38):
Is it your plan to deport everyone who is here
illegally over the next four years?

Speaker 15 (46:43):
Well, I think you have to do it.

Speaker 26 (46:44):
It's a very tough thing to do, but you have
to have you know, you have rules, regulations, law as
they came in illegally. You know, the people that have
been treated very unfairly are the people that have been
online for ten years to come into the country.

Speaker 15 (46:55):
And we're going to make it very.

Speaker 26 (46:56):
Easy for people to come in in terms of they
have to pass the test. They have to be able
to tell you what the statue of liberty is. They
have to tell you a little bit about our country.
They have to love our country. They can't come out
of prisons. We don't want people that are in for murder.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Seems pretty fair. He's right about all those poor people
that spend tens of thousands of dollars wait a decade
plus to hopefully get picked randomly to come to our country,
and everybody else jumps into the front of the line,
and we're supposed to say, oh, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Wrong.

Speaker 25 (47:28):
You raise the point that the logistics are complicated, you.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Say to yourself, but everything's going.

Speaker 27 (47:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (47:33):
I mean, you need twenty four times more iced attention
capacity just to deport one million people per year, not
to mention more agents, more judges, more planes. Is it
realistic to deport everyone who's Jewish?

Speaker 15 (47:45):
First of all, they're costing us a fortune.

Speaker 26 (47:47):
But we're starting with the criminals and we got to
do it, and then we're.

Speaker 15 (47:50):
Starting with others, and we're going to see how it goes.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
The others.

Speaker 26 (47:54):
Others are other people outside of criminals.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
I think those are the people that have gotten their
orders to go and they haven't been gone, if that
makes sense, order for removal.

Speaker 8 (48:03):
So this is going to be interesting to see.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
I thought he did. I mean, he did, great? She
does what she does? Talk a little bit more about this,
and obviously the CEO. The mystery continues, and so does
the rise of his folklore talk a lot about that.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Chadbenson for the cheese, for the Dision.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
It's the Dike for the division. My goodness, Can I
just say this, if there is a team that has
nine lives, they're about their twelfth life right now. Because
between blocked field goals to win the games, between botched

(50:17):
field goal attempts, between you name it, this has happened.

Speaker 8 (50:21):
And last night was a dink a doink to win
the game?

Speaker 3 (50:25):
A doink doink, scoob, They're not. Here's a crazy thing.
Every team walks off that field for the most part, goes,
how do we lose those guys? They don't look great.
They're not the chiefs of the last several years or
put up fifty points a game and just running all
over you.

Speaker 8 (50:39):
It's just a crazy thing. But do you know what
they do?

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Know how to do? Win? Baby? Speaking of winning, money
will be huge, it will be massive. The amount of
money coming in to college Football's playoffs. So yesterday the
final playoff teams were announced. So this is this is it,

(51:03):
and everybody was wonting could Alabama get in? Could Alabama
sneak in? Could Alabama be a part of this even
though they lost three games? But look at their record
when it comes to teams they played, how hard they're
you know, their entire season was comparatively their strength of schedule,
et cetera, et cetera. Well, ladies and gentlemen, did they
get in.

Speaker 28 (51:23):
But you got to choose one of them, and they're
going to get criticism either way. To take on Penn
State and the final spot and the college Football Playoff,
who is it? The SMU Mustangs hold on to that
final spot and edge out Alabama, so it will be
SMU and Penn State as the ACC gets the last

(51:46):
two spots in terms of seating and they get the
last at large spot.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
So this is huge. So here we go breaking down
the college football playoffs. The great thing is home games.
For the first time ever, it's a playoff twelve teams
and those first playoff games will be home games. Four
teams have buys, so Tennessee host Ohio State three two, three, five,

(52:17):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows.
Your Twitter, tweet, ats, text the program. I love hearing
from all of you right here The Chad Benson Show.
Texas host Clemson, Notre Dame hosts Indiana and SMU heads
to take on the Nitney Line and Penn State. Four
teams that have buys. The surprise of the bunch maybe

(52:39):
Arizona State, Oregon number one ranked team, Georgia and Boise State.
How awesome is this going to be? With all the
college football craziness and NFL craziness going on and the
world catching on fire. Santa Claus decided to visit the
Mets and Juan Soto early this year because they signed

(53:00):
arguably the best player in baseball not named Shoheo Tani
to a record contract, big time, and he goes from
being a Yankee to a Met for a lot of money.

Speaker 27 (53:10):
The Mets weren't that much at a different place, Scott
than the New York Yankees were. The Yankees had a
seven hundred and sixty million dollar offer, only five million
dollars less spread out over sixteen years, so it wasn't
a huge demonstrable difference At the end. I think Juan
Soto looked at the New York Mets future and looked

(53:31):
at the New York Yankees future and believed that the
Mets have a better future than the Yankees, which is
a wild thing to pick.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Yeah, super wild. So his contract now, choeo Tani's contract
is bigger based on year because he's.

Speaker 8 (53:45):
Got seven hundred million over ten years.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
This guy got seven hundred and sixty five over fifteen,
average about fifty one million.

Speaker 8 (53:51):
It's good money if you can get it.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
That's right, seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. Oh
what three two, three, four, twenty three at Chad Benson
Show's your Twitter tweet at his text and program. So
much stuff to get to. More on Syria, more on
the CEO and the shooting there, more on Trump and
his interview yesterday with Nita Press.

Speaker 13 (54:14):
It is the Chad Benson Joe Son, Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
This is the best of Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 19 (54:42):
And it really says something about America that a guy
was murdered in cold blood. And the two main reactions were, yeah,
well healthcare stinks and also, girl, that shooter hot?

Speaker 29 (54:53):
Well say that they were able to get the smiling
picture of a suspect after the man apparently was caught
on camera at a local hot still flirting with a
female employee whose name has been reported as Lucky as Bechalive.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
I told you guys last week they were going to
turn into a folk hero. I told you guys that
the look is gonna be the first trap. They were
going to turn him into a folk hero because everybody
hates insurance companies and the frustration with insurance companies and
the nightmare that has been the cost of insurance, the
rising cost, the continual rise of cost of insurance, the

(55:25):
frustration of being turned out over and over for something.
There is no sympathy for insurance companies and people that
look at a guy that's worth tens of millions of dollars,
seems to have it all as the face of evil
when it comes to the insurance companies and what's wrong
with this country and him being shot.

Speaker 8 (55:46):
Nobody feels sorry for him.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
They don't. You knew the minute you saw the guy's face,
I'm like, that's Jake Jillenall. This guy's going to be
a hero. He's going to be a hero. Now there's
all kinds of conspiracies out there, that insider trading was
one of the things, and that they're coming after him,
and somebody else wanted him dead from another company.

Speaker 8 (56:04):
You've got all of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
But there is no doubt this has started a conversation
in this country about healthcare. But the way that they're
looking at this guy that has killed this guy is
he's a hero, right, He's a hero for everybody. People
that have been absolutely screwed by the insurance companies, people
that have been destroyed by the insurance companies. People have
been left out dangling out there with no treatment, treatment

(56:28):
being denied left, right and center, sometimes with the smallest thing,
the expense. This guy is the poster child of Robin Hood,
and the guy he killed is the poster child for evil,
and no one cares.

Speaker 30 (56:44):
At this point, everyone has heard about the assassination of
United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. That in itself is unprecedented.
What is equally unprecedented is how much people don't care.
I have yet to see anyone online posting saying, we
got to find this, we got to get him off
the street. I have, however, seen people making an argument

(57:04):
doing the hear me out thing, women talking about how
attractive he is, people calling him Robinhood, people quite literally
making fan art. And I don't think it's that difficult
to figure out why.

Speaker 8 (57:17):
Because it's a class thing.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
First of all, made a lot of money, because whenever
you hear somebody bring it up, it's always about a
lot of money. This guy made a lot of money.
He made ten million, he made twelve it's that and
the fact that he denies treatment. And now what you're
seeing is doctors posting stuff of United Healthcare and how
they denied treatment, everything from nausea pills for a child

(57:40):
who is going through chemotherapy to just about anything else.
There are hundreds and hundreds of these all over the
interwebs now of how bad United Healthcare is.

Speaker 30 (57:49):
I don't think there's a single person in this country
who hasn't themselves or had someone very very near and
dear to them, suffer from the absolutely abysmal thing that
is private healthcare in this country. People every day are
denied for the most ridiculous reasons, sometimes even though they
should be a given care, just denied to deny them

(58:11):
in the hopes that they will die before they can
actually get the services that they have paid for.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
It's hard to argue with that. It is. I hate
to break it to a lot of people out there
that love privatize healthcare, and a lot of that you
can blame someone on Obamacare because I remember the same
people that the people on the left and the people
who want socialized medicine to be a thing. Those people
out there forget that is the government that allowed them

(58:40):
to craft this nightmare. And I'm going to go over
what it's like to be in socialized medicine, having been
through it myself, what it was like. Are there bad? Absolutely?
Is there some good? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (58:56):
There is not gonna lie to you about.

Speaker 30 (58:59):
That saying I'm not saying he should have done it.
I'm just saying I understand. I can certainly understand why
someone could be driven to do something like that, but
also I can't condone it because it doesn't accomplish anything.
It doesn't address the problem that is the American healthcare
system and how it is privatized for profit. Privatized healthcare

(59:20):
is a lot like the hydra and to me, killing
the CEO is a lot like cutting one of their
heads off. It does nothing, but it's a big ask
if you want people to feel sorry for a person
who directly or indirectly contributed to the death of so
many in the name of lining the pockets of shareholders.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Because remember, once a company goes public, you are no
longer about putting the customer number one. You're about putting
a shareholders number one. Those are your customers now, and
that means doing everything you can to run the margins
when it comes to your outlay on a monthly basis,

(01:00:03):
as thin as possible, and to maximize every opportunity. So
this guy, he's a hero for some. He's not a
hero though he's not. He's a cold blood and murderer.
And while in his mind he may have and see,

(01:00:23):
the thing is, as everybody builds this guy up to
be this hero, the fact is we don't know anything
about it. Could he be getting revenge for a loved
one who's lost, Yes, but doesn't make it right. Could
he be a guy that's a hit man theory it
is possible. Or could it just be somebody who hates
the insurance industry and thought, you know what, I'm going

(01:00:45):
to show them.

Speaker 8 (01:00:47):
Yeah, all of those things are possible.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Doesn't make it right. It started a conversation, and as
I said last week in a video, I can understand
we're going to get deeper into this over the next
couple hours because it is something to talk about the
insurance industry, the nightmare that is the insurance industry. How
Obamacare played a big role into this, but how we've

(01:01:11):
got an insurance industry that's absolutely broken and a government
that plays along with it because they're just as much.

Speaker 8 (01:01:18):
In cahoots as everybody else.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chadminton Show with your Twitter tweet at his
text to program. Meanwhile, over the weekend, Trump, who is
now President elect, sat down with Kristen Welker for whatever
reason to talk about all kinds of things when it
comes to his presidency. What about the inauguration? Is it
going to be about hate and division or love and

(01:01:42):
kindness and coming together?

Speaker 25 (01:01:44):
Let me ask you, sir, as you think about your inauguration.
I remember your first inaugural address you talked about American carnage.
Have you thought about your message for your second inaugural address?

Speaker 15 (01:01:57):
I have?

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Can you give us a preview?

Speaker 15 (01:01:59):
We're going to have a message you will make you happy? Unity.
It's going to be a message of unity.

Speaker 26 (01:02:03):
And again, I think success brings unity, and I've experienced that.
I've experienced in my first term. As I said, we're
going to be talking about unity. We're going to be
talking about success, making our country safe, keeping people that
shouldn't be in our country.

Speaker 15 (01:02:18):
Yet we have to do that.

Speaker 26 (01:02:19):
I know it doesn't sound nice, but we have to
do that. But basically, it's going to be about bringing
our country together.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
Bringing the country together. I don't think Trump can bring
the country together. And I don't think if calm a
little bit one she was going to bring the country
together just isn't going to happen at this moment in time,
not the way that people think. Now. One thing is
for sure, what Trump can do is silence the critics,

(01:02:46):
which means does his thing success is there, gets control
of the border, prices come down, the economy stay strong,
calm down the hell and craziness going on throughout the world.
That will shut some people up. That will, But then
everybody's like, well, what about the rector, because that's everybody's

(01:03:08):
worried about the retribution. Oh my god, it's all about
the retribution. Trump's coming for everybody. He's gonna cup for everybody.
He's gonna kill everybody. He's gonta everybody arrested and shot.
Oh my god.

Speaker 25 (01:03:17):
To the people who say, you're now directing your Justice
department to investigate twenty twenty and.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
They want to move, he is going to be very
precious resources. Is that what you're to do?

Speaker 26 (01:03:27):
You know, I have the right to do that, but
I'm not interested in that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
You're not.

Speaker 15 (01:03:32):
I'm not interested. I have the absolute right. I'm the
chief law enforcement officer. You do know that, I'm the president.
I'm but I'm not interested in that.

Speaker 26 (01:03:39):
You know what, I'm interested in drilling and getting prices
down and stopping people from pouring into our border that
come from prisons and mental institutions.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Well, that sounds like a good thing. I'm okay with that.
Getting low hanging fruit. Hit that over and over again.
That matters. Get that low hanging fruit, which is absolutely immigration, immigration, border, immigration,
and then yes, prices. His big first thing outside of immigration,

(01:04:13):
I think is going to be Ukraine and the stopping
of that, which, oddly enough, the left is kind of
having to go, well, it looks like it's gonna happen. Well,
why didn't happen with Biden. Is that curious? Well, that
didn't happen with Biden. I've said I don't think he
would have invaded had Trump still been president.

Speaker 8 (01:04:37):
I don't think he would have.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
I can't say the same thing about Israel and what
would have happened there. But I'll tell you what, that's
going to be a big kick in the grundle to
the left out there is going to see, man, he
is stopping stuff on day one he was kind of right.
The left will come up with some bizarre reasons. H
We're gonna get into more of what he had to
say over the next couple hours, including the pardons and

(01:04:59):
stuff like that. It's always a big thing. And yes,
moral immigration as well. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show is

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Who are listening to the best of Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
Fronting with scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Every year during the Halloween period, we do the top
thirteen scariest movies of all time, and this year I
decide let's expand some of that have some fun with
other things. So this year I said, let's do countdown
top five greatest Christmas songs of all time, and then
we'll do the top five greatest Christmas movies of all time.

(01:07:00):
So we started counting down the top five greatest Christmas
songs the other day. We got through five and four
and we're on now to what I guess that would
be number three. Marry Christmas.

Speaker 17 (01:07:18):
It's time for the Great Christmas Countdown the five Greatest
Christmas Songs.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Of all time.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
Number three. Number three comes to us forty years ago.
Last week. It was released forty years ago. God Time Flies,
a duo out of England that's meteoric rise to fame

(01:07:53):
was crazy. Over the space of about two and a
half three years. There was no group on earth as
big as them, and as fast as they showed up,
they were going.

Speaker 8 (01:08:08):
Several number one hits.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
But they thought to themselves, we can't do this forever,
and they wanted to go out on top. Before they did,
they did a Christmas song and a Christmas song that
we all know and we all.

Speaker 21 (01:08:23):
Love all gets a little wham.

Speaker 8 (01:08:45):
Last Christmas, I give you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Very next day you give it away.

Speaker 17 (01:08:55):
To Steve.

Speaker 14 (01:08:56):
It gives.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
Christmas, I gave you my heart. This was forty years
ago that this song debut. Oddly enough, it never made
it to number one until a few years ago with
the release of the movie Last Christmas. They knew they
had a massive hit on their hands. The problem is
when you release it, you gotta be wary of what

(01:09:24):
is potentially going to be released along with it.

Speaker 31 (01:09:27):
I knew I had this Christmas song which I was
confident by then would be number one, and of course
it never happened because it was the biggest selling number
two record of all time in the UK because of
band Aid the Nights Christmas.

Speaker 3 (01:09:40):
So I got it wrong that year. But I never dreamed.

Speaker 31 (01:09:44):
I never dreamed it would be played as much as
it is now.

Speaker 8 (01:09:48):
That's right, band Aid came out.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
We're going to do a special about band Aid as
it also celebrates its fortieth anniversary. A song that we
all know in love, but years ago I brought up,
how bizarre is it that we sing a song like this?
He knew though, so when they brought band Aid together.
He was still only what twenty twenty one, and he

(01:10:10):
was asked about what was going on with band Aid?
What do you think of it? Because they're all in there.
The new documentary is out, and he knew that that
that this was going to keep his song from being
number one. Song's really catchy.

Speaker 31 (01:10:22):
It's a major threat to our major threat to our
fourth number one, your fourth number?

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
What's your next single?

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
It's called Last Christmas?

Speaker 15 (01:10:29):
Christmas?

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
Is it very christmasy?

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
I can't ask you to sing a bass you'll get multified.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
You can't ask me, ask me a little bit. Last Christmas?

Speaker 31 (01:10:42):
And it gave you my heart, but the very next
thing you gave it away. And I'm not giving you
any of Oh that was good.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
And I was not going to tell him. My girlfriend
George signed on, Oh, Paula, If only you knew? The
song was a major hit and staple throughout Christmas and
continues to be so. It finally got to number one,
unfortunately no longer, with us dying on Christmas Days a
few years ago, but it did make it to number one,

(01:11:10):
and the movie Last Christmas came out and it finally
landed at number one. But it is one of those
songs that everybody loves to sing, and of course wa Mageddon,
which is the minute you hear it, you're out right.
So people try to avoid the song throughout the holidays,

(01:11:32):
whether they're at a bar or whether they're out shopping.
It is hard to avoid this song though. Last Christmas
number three today on The Chad Benson Show. Christmas Song

The pairs of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland and
the Wizard of Oz. This pair is stolen from the
Minnesota Museum and recovered in an FBI sting has sold

Speaker 33 (01:13:16):
This is the best of Chad Benson, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
How doesn't think? What makes it move? Why does it Breathe?
Questions anyone would ask about a man if they'd never
seen one before. Sounds pretty good, though, right. It's actually
part of a trailer for a movie call Fire in

(01:13:59):
the Sky. What's it about that?

Speaker 8 (01:14:01):
True story of Travis Walton.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
He was a man who's abducted in Snowflake Arizona's the
most famous abduction ever?

Speaker 8 (01:14:09):
Could that happen?

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
Here? Are they real?

Speaker 8 (01:14:12):
What are they doing? Who are they in the sky?

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
I gotta be honest here.

Speaker 34 (01:14:17):
When this story first came out a few weeks ago,
as a resident of New Jersey, as a journalist, I
didn't pay much credence. I thought it would turn out
to be a bunch of pranksters and this would all
be over by now. The experience I had last night, however,
changed the way I feel about this story completely. What
I saw was more sophisticated than I ever imagined. Take
a look one, two, three, four, at least five lights,

(01:14:41):
six lights. I didn't believe what I was seeing? What
was I seeing? We're here in Central Jersey. We've been
looking for the past hour. I think we've seen about
forty or fifty of these strones. In fact, there's one
over my shoulder right.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
There, right there there, it is, see it right there?
What is it doing? I don't know what is it?
Is it? Well, first of all, it's got FA lights
on it. So do I think it is a spaceship?
I don't do. I think it's an adversary. Again, I
don't Why would you have lights on it. Now, there
have been some pictures and some video of stuff without lights.

(01:15:15):
Those things are unexplainable. Could our drones be searching and
hunting for those things, That is a possibility. But the
stuff with lights, you think alias are showing up with
the no lights, You think that's happening, or you think
they're showing up with lights. Put the lights on, guys.
We don't want any planes to run into us.

Speaker 34 (01:15:33):
One after another after another. These drones appeared in the
night sky. If you look real close, they look like
fixed wing aircraft about eight to ten feet wide, colorful
white blinking lights.

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
That is not a plane. Definitely not an airplane. But
what was it?

Speaker 34 (01:15:48):
Hours earlier, I was invited to join the Ocean County
Sheriff Department. They launched their own drones to see if
they could intercept the mysterious aircraft. The department says, these
mystery drones evade detection because they don't give off heat
like regular drones. Why do you think that is?

Speaker 7 (01:16:04):
We don't know.

Speaker 34 (01:16:05):
It's just something that we have, and you know, it's
not something that we've had our hands on.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
It's not something that we've.

Speaker 8 (01:16:09):
Experienced, which is the scary part.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
And yet the exciting part anything MCATA, anything that moves,
anything that has electricity charging through it, that it's going
to throw off some heat.

Speaker 8 (01:16:20):
Your phone throws off some heat. Humans, we throw off heat.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
This thing has no heat, which is if you go
back and you look at a lot of the stuff
that they have talked about area fifty one, different technology,
all the things you've heard in the past. One of
the things they've talked about no noise and no heat.
Everything throws some heat off, not this thing.

Speaker 34 (01:16:43):
One of their officers called nine to one one after
seeing fifty of them come off the ocean.

Speaker 35 (01:16:48):
Advice after we make contacts with that officer that they
were fifty that came off the ocean, fifty five zero.
That was my reaction. Also, there were fifty that were
coming off the ocean. And this is worn officer, a
sworn officer. Yes, we contacted State Lease, We contacted the FBI,
We contacted the coast guard, at which point the coastguard

(01:17:09):
went out with their boat and they reported seeing thirteen
on their boat. And then the coast guard also advised
that they went over them about three hundred feet and
had a wingspan of about eight feet.

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
What are they people? Are scared. It's the unknown. We're
scared of the unknown. Who isn't because it's unknown. Are
these hour drones that we're testing, most likely somewhat, But
are there some things out there unexplainable? Yes, absolutely, the
orbs are very creepy, very trippy looking. But is this

(01:17:41):
just an operation are we practicing? Are we so far
ahead of the game that we're using these things here
to kind of show the world what we have and
at the same time practice against their own radar, practice
against their own stuff. That is always a possibility. This
is a CEO of a drone company.

Speaker 36 (01:18:02):
I don't know, you know, any adversary that would actually
use proper FA lighting to display where they are.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
It would be way too easy to shoot them down.

Speaker 36 (01:18:11):
They're slow moving, they're big, So I definitely taken adversary
off the table right away.

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
Right away, because again, the FA lights, who puts those on.

Speaker 36 (01:18:21):
Those Maybe they're trying to test them and try to
stay under the radar by actually doing it properly according
to the law.

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
But you know, when we do all of our.

Speaker 36 (01:18:29):
Mission tests, we do them at nighttime, Almost all missions
by the US military at nighttime, and we try to
make us so you can't find us, can't see us,
can't detect us. So there's a lot of, you know,
controversy on why they would an adversary would actually be
doing it and the way they're doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
Now. Like I said, there are things out there that
we've seen tons of videos of that are not lit up,
that are traveling in the sky. So there is some
of that. It is the amount though of stuff. It
is the amount of sightings not just now in New Jersey,
up and down the eastern seaboard, but across the country

(01:19:06):
that has people worried and it has people asking questions,
which is totally understandable.

Speaker 37 (01:19:11):
Started in your state by far the disproportion number of
drones have been flying in and around your state. What
have you heard from the president?

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
We've heard very little. Let's start with the fact.

Speaker 18 (01:19:19):
First it was questions, then it was maybe it's comedy,
and then all of a sudden it became serious and
now it's insanity. Yesterday the new United States Senator had
to go out with local police to.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
Look for drones.

Speaker 18 (01:19:34):
Now the United States Senator Andy Kim can't get any information.
I'm pretty concerned about that because.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
You're on a need to know, you know, it's one
of the things that is very interesting when they talk about,
like the so much of the UFO stuff, because we're
all interested in that, we're all interested in, and that
is just such a weird thing.

Speaker 8 (01:20:03):
The UFOs.

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Are they real?

Speaker 8 (01:20:06):
Are they not real? We can go on and on.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
One of the things that they talk about is the
CIA handles a vast majority of the program and that
even if you're a president, you curious and wanting to
know is not a good enough reason supposedly to getting
access to c which is also very odd.

Speaker 8 (01:20:28):
But yes, think about this, if you were.

Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
Just a citizen sitting at home and you've seen these
things fly over your house, You've heard them fly over
your house, you can't ignore it.

Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
They're everywhere, and your government.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
Comes out it's like, eh, it's probably nothing, you know,
it's probably a And then you've got your politicians, who
should be someone in the no saying we have no
idea what any of this is. People are feeling uncomfortable.
There is no evidence of any foreign based involvement from
coastal vessels. Okay, so maybe there's no evidence of that,

(01:20:59):
but what are they should we worry and your answers
have been very flippant, and your answers have been very Yeah,
we think these are fine. We should be good. You
know they could be helicopter. They're not helicopters. We know
they're not helicopters, right like, stop it, stop blowing smoke.
People are worried. You talk to the people. It's that simple.

(01:21:21):
People want to know you're with them, except if you're
the government. The government loves screw with people, and this
is a great way to screw with them. Keep them guessing,
keep them asking questions, keep them doing these kind of things.
Just distract them for a little bit. It's easy, it's fun.
They're idiots, what do they know?

Speaker 18 (01:21:36):
So I asked for a state of emergency to ground
all the drones and ask the FAA to join our
state of emergency, which I've asked Governor Murphy to an
act in order to ground any drone. I've gotten silence,
and we met with the State Police. The state police
have no information. Can you imagine the Department of Defense

(01:21:57):
must have some serious secret if we can't get any
information of car size drones flying over our military basis.

Speaker 3 (01:22:08):
Which there's been a couple shutdown military basis because of
the drones. So now how many of those are also
people who I've seen are taking up their own drones
and find out what these drones are.

Speaker 37 (01:22:18):
All right, So either they're withholding information or worse yet,
they don't know.

Speaker 18 (01:22:23):
So a car size drone comes in over the ocean
and we don't hear from the military, from the Department
of Defense what that is. Now we would believe, as
citizens and anything of that size would be noticed and
we would be advised what that is.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
So there must be.

Speaker 18 (01:22:41):
A pretty big secret because there has been a top
secret of briefings, and every time someone comes out of
the top secret briefing we get the same answer, Well,
we need more information, but apparently it's not a threat. Now,
I don't know how they're determining that. It defends department

(01:23:01):
must be speaking to someone, because they're surely not speaking
to any of the residents in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
Well, it's because they don't like the residence in New Jersey.
I think that's evident. What do you think it is? Question?
I've been asked more than any question maybe ever in
a short period of time, Like in the run up
to the election, A lot of people asked me who
I thought was gonna win. But that was over a
longer period of time. In this like ten days or so,
I've been asked more questions about what the hell I

(01:23:30):
think it is. On the record, I've said I believe
we are not alone. On the record, I've said that.
On the record, I've said that a whole bunch of times.
Do I think this is aliens? No? I think what
we have here is our stuff being tested out against

(01:23:54):
our stuff. And our military was not in formed by
DARPA and else elsewhere throughout the Pentagon and everything that
we were gonna be doing this minus a select few people,
and they told the military basis, you know, essentially the
higher ups, don't shoot anything down. We're gonna test some

(01:24:16):
stuff out. See what happened. So technically it's not our stuff.
Reality is, it is our stuff because we paid for it,
we develop it, and it's going to no other country
on the planet, not until we've used it for years,
and then as soon as it becomes obsolete, then we
would give it to them or sell it to them

(01:24:36):
at a high price.

Speaker 8 (01:24:38):
That's what I think.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Shedminton Show is your Twitter tweet at as
texta program with a caveat. By the way, I am
not saying though that this stuff that we have isn't
somewhat alien based, if that makes sense. So maybe not
aliens in the way we think, but maybe aliens have

(01:25:01):
put their spin on it, if that makes sense. Rough

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
Who are listening to the best of Chadbnson.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
Everybody's word. I mean, we got Luigi.

Speaker 38 (01:26:30):
We got Luigi, you know, and that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
I really feel sorry for the for the family.

Speaker 38 (01:26:36):
I mean, everybody's fixated on how good looking this guy looks.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
If you look like Jonah Hiddll, no one would care.

Speaker 38 (01:26:45):
Already give him him a chair, already be dead, Okay,
but he actually killed a man, a man, a man
with a family, a.

Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
Man with kids.

Speaker 38 (01:26:58):
Man. I mean, I condolences, I'll have real condolences for
you know, the healthcare ceo.

Speaker 15 (01:27:06):
I mean, this is a real person.

Speaker 38 (01:27:09):
Yeah, but you also got a you know, sometimes drug
dealers get shot.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
Chris Rock right there, speaking of Luigi, still in a
Pennsylvania Luigi, Luigi, what is going to happen to, said
Luigi in the coming days, weeks, and months. Who knows
if he'll ever even make it to troll.

Speaker 39 (01:27:33):
Prosecutors are preparing for Luigi Mangioni to arrive back in
New York as early as tomorrow after charging him in
the murder of United Healthcare chief Brian Thompson. Sources tell
ABC News Mangioni is almost certain to waive extradition from Pennsylvania,
and a grand jury in New York could also hand
down an indictment at any moment.

Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
At any moment, they could do that. Guy is lawyered up. Though.

Speaker 39 (01:27:57):
Over the weekend, Mangioni added a high profile while defense
attorney to his legal team, Karen Friedman Agniholo spent seven
years as the second in command at the Manhattan District
Attorney's Office.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
So he's lawyered up. They're spending big money in the family.
And speaking of the family, did mom worry and did
mom know?

Speaker 39 (01:28:17):
Bengioni was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, last week, five days
after Thompson was gunned down. ABC News has learned Mangioni's
mom spoke with FBI agents and detectives from the NYPD
the day before his arrest. She indicated surveillance photos being
circulated at the time could be her son.

Speaker 3 (01:28:37):
Yeah, they were worried that he had gone off the
grid disappeared, but you know, you don't want to ever
think could that be my kid? And they had had
some issues about him falling off the grid doing certain
things three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benton Show's your Twitter tweet at

(01:28:59):
his text the program right here in the Chad Benson Show.
You think he's got it all, He's got everything. It
didn't matter. He was indoctrinated somewhere down the line. He
decided that the industry of healthcare is a problem, but
capitalism itself is a problem, and he was hoping to

(01:29:20):
start a revolution.

Speaker 8 (01:29:21):
It hasn't happened yet, nor do I think it will happen.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
Man, This whole thing, like this whole last two weeks,
it's been very East Coast based. It's like Luigi and
the drones. Although the drones have spread out, as we've
talked about, they've gone elsewhere. But watching the tiktoks, watching
all of the hysteria has been very interesting. It really has.

(01:29:54):
I mean, you know, and I'm a big believer as
you guys know. I don't think we're alone out there.
That being said, is this the time? Is it? Is
there something nefarious? The conspiracies are awesome, everything from this
is what they're doing to have a false flag event

(01:30:16):
so Trump can't take office, which isn't going to happen
to this is a start of some sort of intergalactic
war and this is just kind of the beginning of it.
I mean, there are so many of them, you know,
talk a lot about some of the craziness and wackiness
that's out there. A bunch of other stuff to talk

(01:30:37):
about as well. Reach out to us across all of
our social media. Again, this is the final week of shows.
Wednesday will be our final show of the year, and
then we're back on the second. If you miss any
of the shows, make sure you grab the podcast. We
appreciate it when you do that. This is the Chad Benson.

Speaker 13 (01:30:53):
Show, sun Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 33 (01:31:05):
This is the best of Chad Benson, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
Meanwhile, in Japan, it's okay to leave stuff out.

Speaker 12 (01:31:26):
Notice all the iPhones displayed aren't attached to any security device.
The phones just sit on a mag safe charger, which
means you can literally pick them up and examine them
without any restrictions. And this doesn't just apply to iPhones,
but the other things in the store, like headphones, Like
I could totally just pretend these are mine and walk out,
which is crazy. But you know what's even crazier. Even
their most expensive devices like iPads and MacBook pros are

(01:31:49):
only connected to one thing, which is the charging cable,
so you can literally just unplug the devices and pick
them up as you please. The absence of security just
goes to show how much trust and on is part
of the Japanese culture and society.

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
Yep. Absolutely, and in certain parts of the country as well.
Case in point, I drove by hardware store at the
other night. There's my stepdaughter's fourteenth birthday, so we went
out nice meal and when shopping at the mall, Right,
kids are fascinated with the mall. It's this thing that
cold the mall. We were driving through this town and

(01:32:25):
one of those upper middle class towns, right, it's got
some old money in it, but it's just a very
neat little area and there's a hardware store, old school
hardware store, and in the front. It's closed. There's all
kinds of stuff left out, stuff that they'll sell the
next day. Like they've got stuff for plants. They've got
I mean things that you would never think about leaving

(01:32:47):
out anywhere else in the country. They'd be gone in
a heartbeat. The store's closed, right, They've got a sanda
in the window. There's stuff for plants, like pottery, stuff
you know, for planting. You've got like cement, so people
want bags of sematic, all of this stuff, rakes, Oh,
just left out, no worry. So weird some places, man,

(01:33:11):
You ever, how many times you got into it, Like
a phone store, you w to pick up the phone
and you just kind of like see what it looks like.
You pull it, the thing gets snapped right back or falls,
and you're like, ugh, why is that because people steal crap?
Just throwing it out there? I thought this was very,
very fascinating watching this lady in Japan just walk up,
pick up the phone, walk around the store, put on

(01:33:31):
the headphones.

Speaker 8 (01:33:32):
Nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Nobody's worried.

Speaker 8 (01:33:34):
Why is that?

Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
Because they have respect?

Speaker 8 (01:33:37):
That is why the dog. Speaking of stealing, the government
does it all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
How so chad they take money from you and I,
and then they mismanage that money by putting it into
programs that don't work or obsolete, buy things that they
promised to buy from big donors that are no longer needed,
and we go on and on and on. So now
there's gonna be the DOGE, which I continually say, out

(01:34:05):
of all the stuff that I am seeing, the thing
I'm most excited about is the DOGE. So you know
this is here's the Department Right of Accountability on how
they spend money, waste all of that stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:34:20):
But I don't think it's gonna work the way that
they think it's gonna work.

Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
Mick Wolvany was on with Piers Morgan talking about it
the other day, and I hate to burst the bubble.
My excitement is that they're going to expose the ridiculousness
of government and the spending of government and the waste
of government as we continually with our technology and the
way we advance, think how things are being used, how
the fact that there are still people working on stuff

(01:34:45):
that is decades old. When it comes to computers, and
I'm talking decades old, like that big Giant, Remember the
old computer that all it did was it was black
and green. That was it.

Speaker 8 (01:34:57):
So the screen was always black and they would just.

Speaker 3 (01:35:00):
Of the green like the green typing like that's the
stuff we're talking about, so freaking old, so obsolete, but
they've not updated it because it would cost too much
and with whatever it is, there's a reason they haven't done.
So Mick Malvaney on with Peers talking about this, and

(01:35:20):
Mick is very honest.

Speaker 40 (01:35:22):
What the vech and the Elan are doing are it's
a giant, massive PR campaign, but it's an absolutely critical
PR campaign. They have to make it so that Congress
doesn't have any choice but to change.

Speaker 3 (01:35:33):
The rules because public opinion will be so heavily on the.

Speaker 8 (01:35:35):
Life and that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
Congress, he says, it has to change the rules, has
to change the laws because what well I'm sure Elon
and Fact know is what's in front of them is
a herculean size task in trying to change the.

Speaker 8 (01:35:52):
Laws because of donors.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
Because both sides are happy with what donors are willing
to pay, the inefficiency of government and the size of it.
It works for them, so why break it even if
it is inefficient. You know what I'm getting paid, so
I'm okay, then you run into the laws that protect
every single federal employee, the unions. I mean, it is

(01:36:16):
on both sides that these guys have to show that
this is a massive, giant waste. And I'm not talking
about the programs, although there are plenty of programs out there.

Speaker 8 (01:36:28):
That are absolutely a waste. I think we can all
admit that.

Speaker 3 (01:36:30):
But I'm talking about what's behind the programs, the fact
that they're inefficient, the fact that in many cases there's
zero accountability to show that any of these programs work
in the way that they were supposed to work, that
there are more money's going to run the programs than
actually dold out to the things they're supposed to be
doled out to to help the people.

Speaker 31 (01:36:49):
I thought he's going to do what he did at
his other companies and just call everybody in and say
what did you do last week?

Speaker 3 (01:36:55):
Yeah, but he can't. And that's the difficulty. Why I
ran a federal agency.

Speaker 40 (01:36:58):
I ran out of the CFPP, which was one of
the places they want to shut down. I wanted to
shut it down, and I found out after I got there,
of the seventeen hundred people who work there, I only
had the right to fire seven.

Speaker 3 (01:37:08):
Really by law that does the president have the right.

Speaker 40 (01:37:12):
So the president might have the right to close the building,
he doesn't have the right to fire the p Who
does nobody co Congress have to change the law.

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
Wow, yes, that right there, that's everything. And you know
Congress would have to change the law. That's that's a
tough thing to get around. Man. You're trying to get
a bunch of people who can't agree on anything that
the only thing they may agree on is government is
important because they're a part of it. To change the law,
to fix the system that is antiquated and broken. Good luck.
It's a great example.

Speaker 40 (01:37:40):
I can't remember which agency it was, but it's one
of the big named agencies. Just yesterday, the outgoing administration
signed a new labor agreement saying that people don't have
to come to work after Donald Trump gets over and
that's now.

Speaker 15 (01:37:52):
In their union agreement.

Speaker 40 (01:37:54):
Incredible, Please allow that to say in if you're a
federal worker, you have federal protections against getting fired, and
on top of that, you have union agreements that make
it even more difficult.

Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
So that's what Alan and Viveka up against. Yeah, good
luck with that. You're going up against a machine you're
going up against a beast. Government is the largest lobbyist
of government. Government is more important than what government does,
and by that I mean the employee, the bureaucracy of government.

(01:38:25):
And I'm not talking about whether or not these people
are good or bad, because I'm going to hear that
from a lot of people.

Speaker 8 (01:38:29):
You just don't like these people. It's not about that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
If you could cut your workforce by thirty percent and
your efficiency stay the same arise, would you keep that
at your place of employment? If you had things that
you knew were outdated, inefficient, didn't work, would you continue
to do them over and over again or would you

(01:38:53):
say We've got to do something else. The difference between
the public and private sector is that alone.

Speaker 37 (01:39:00):
Governor good to have you, Lon moscovk Rebuswami. They're ready
to unlease the doze to go after at least a
couple of trillion dollars.

Speaker 41 (01:39:07):
This is going to happen at some point. Now's the
ideal time to do it. And it's not nothing unique. Right,
the message that we're talking about creating efficient government. My
argument is it's really been done like fifty times over
in the States. So the ideas of what to do,
aren't new how to do it is also in the states,
we've worked with legislators, we've done executive orders, we've cut agencies,

(01:39:30):
we've created efficiencies.

Speaker 3 (01:39:32):
So all the recipe is there. It's just the will.
And is there any will Governor Sanunu? Is there any will? Well?
At the state level, Yeah, there's will, especially if you
have the power because you have the House and the
Senate to do these things. At the federal level, there's
not that much will. And part of the fact is

(01:39:52):
in California, by the way, in certain places the unions
are so strong, you don't have the will. The unions
in California run California because they're the biggest lobbyists. They
have the most power. They can crush your souls. See
what happened to Donold Schwartzenega when they came and crossed
his soul and e went from being donald to being neoted.
The best I think they're going to be able to

(01:40:13):
do is show the inefficiency of the government and to
show that we waste x amount of billions or trillions
of dollars a year on all of this stuff. If
we were smart, we would run it cleaner and meaner.
And faster and more efficient, and we would cut this,

(01:40:34):
this and this. I think that's the best they're going
to be able to do unless they can get Congress
to change it. But that's going to have to be
about us demanding Congress does so. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 1 (01:41:57):
You're listening to the best of Chad Benson.

Speaker 33 (01:42:06):
Welcome to No, not the Country, the Institution, The Jack
Benson Show.

Speaker 24 (01:42:13):
To announce that the twenty four.

Speaker 15 (01:42:17):
Heisman Award goes to Travis Hunter.

Speaker 3 (01:42:30):
Well Don Travis Travis Hunter, the Buffs, Colorado wins the Heisman. Now,
if you don't know anything about this guy, interesting story
played with Coach Prime at NHBCU so historically black college
or university and had the opportunity to follow him. And

(01:42:54):
he thanked Coach Prime and shoulder his best bud who's
also Coach Prime's son, who will probably be the number
one pick himself in the upcoming draft.

Speaker 42 (01:43:03):
Coach parm S your door man y'all changed my life forever.
Now one simple phone calls your door. Look who I'm at? Man,
that's crazy, bro, it's crazy. Try out to get emotional
because I know our last game coming up soon.

Speaker 15 (01:43:19):
Both.

Speaker 42 (01:43:19):
Thankful for both of y'all. Coach Foul, I'm gonna whoop
you on that late tomorrow or whenever we get the chance.
But thank you man, you changed my life forever. I
told you that multiplets. I really appreciate of it.

Speaker 8 (01:43:32):
It is Uh, it was just interesting to watch.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
He thinks his father been in and out of his life,
his little brother, and now he's been to the journey
with him. And then of course there was some contraryved
his girlfriend. But this guy is awesome. Now, Ashton Genty
didn't win. He came in second. It was the closest
ever he thought he should have won. Says, take nothing

(01:43:54):
away from from you know, Hunter, but Ashton Genty is
about one hundred yards away from breaking the all time
college rush yards. He's awesome. He is also probably going
to be a first rounder. Here's the thing that separates Travis.

(01:44:14):
Let's just talk about his stats just for a laugh.
All purpose yards twelve hundred. It's got about eleven and
ninety yards receiving, fourteen touchdowns, got a touchdown rushing. I mean, hey,
those are good numbers, not great numbers.

Speaker 8 (01:44:34):
You see.

Speaker 3 (01:44:34):
The thing is, though he is one of the best
wide receivers in the country, he is also the best
corner in the country. It's not even close. Four interceptions,
you only give up like sixty yards against him this year.
Nobody throws the ball to him. Nobody does. If you

(01:44:55):
are being essentially marked by him, you're not getting the ball.
That's how awesome he is. And he too, will be
a first rounder this year. Just an amazing player and
seems to be an all around good dude, which is
at the end of the day, is really more important.

(01:45:16):
Speaking of all around good dudes, not since the slap
heard around the world has this guy been that. But
he wants to address something. Will Smith.

Speaker 38 (01:45:22):
I have been.

Speaker 43 (01:45:23):
Addressed idiotis publicly. But I just want to say this
very clearly. I don't have to do with Puffy, So
y'all can stop all their babies.

Speaker 15 (01:45:33):
Listen.

Speaker 17 (01:45:33):
I'm doing enough of my own.

Speaker 3 (01:45:34):
Don't be put me and other people. I've been nobody
here that man ain't and none of that stupid. So
whenever y'all hear it. If somebody say that, it's a
damn life. I don't even like baby dam Uh. Yeah.
A lot of stars who I think know they're not

(01:45:55):
in trouble, who maybe took pictures with Puffy, Maybe he
went to a park with Puffy but then left before
anything crazy happen. They're all coming out. They're doing everything
they can to distance themselves from this dude.

Speaker 43 (01:46:07):
But I haven't said that publicly. I just said, y'all,
y'all the first time. It's like, you get so many things,
people say so much stuff, But the world we're in
right now is really hard for y'all to like discern
what's real and what's true.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
And I'm over seeing y'all means and stuff.

Speaker 15 (01:46:24):
You'll be bigging means.

Speaker 8 (01:46:26):
Now, Why is this important?

Speaker 3 (01:46:28):
Because of the videos that are out there all right,
and there are plenty of videos that are out there
that is more than what we're hearing. Daniel Baldwin was
on Patrick Bitt David's podcast talking about what's happening with
these videos.

Speaker 11 (01:46:43):
Look at Ditty, for instance, Let's take a look at him.
Let's take a look good. He has videos. He has
videos of the parties. Now what I've heard, which I
don't know how much of it is in mainstream media.
I don't really follow the story that much, but what
I've heard from friends that are attorneys, friends of mine
that have represented me before, agents and so on, because

(01:47:04):
there's a bidding war going on right now. They're driving
that price up because if you want your client and
you're famous actor to not be involved, a famous singer
to not come out, here's the price. And that they're
just selling to the individuals that are in those This
is what I heard. They're selling those videos. So if
you're Tommy X, and Tommy X is a big, big

(01:47:26):
movie star and he was at some of the ditty parties,
he was in one of those bedrooms with three other men,
and he's happily married to a woman, and Tommy doesn't
want that video to come out. He does not want
it to come out. Same thing for Jeffrey Epstein. Now
that the interesting thing about the Epstein and the theory
about Epstein is we know he filmed people for sure
on that island. He has a lot of movies, a
lot of films with people that are very, very powerful

(01:47:47):
political figures.

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
There's no doubt that there are tons of videos of
stars and it is making them nervous. And with the
jay Z thing last week, in the battle that's going
on there and the ladies kind of I don't want
to say she's changed her story, but she admits there's
some inconsistencies in her story, but she's willing to go,

(01:48:10):
you know, all the way with this. You know there's
a ton of videos that there's a reason that people
film these things. It's because you will have something hanging
over their head always. So when he comes calling before
he was arrested, you owe him a favor. Now that

(01:48:31):
he has been arrested, he's gonna need a lot of money.
Make sure he takes care of his family and do
whatever he needs to do. You're gonna pay whatever you
need to pay to try to save your ass. Three two, three, five,

Maybe?

Speaker 3 (01:49:15):
Are they ours?

Speaker 8 (01:49:17):
Probably? If they're not, then we're screwed.

Speaker 3 (01:49:21):
And if it is somebody who's happened to made a
bunch of homemade drones that are this awesome, you guys
need to sign them up government, because that would be
somebody who's obviously ahead of the game. That's all I'm
trying to say. If you're missing the show, I say,
shame on you, and the drones will come and get you.
