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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It is gonna be cold out there, everybody, It is
gonna be cold.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Now it's time for the chat action news Weather reports
when weather Weather's we weather the storm.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
That's right. Voiceover guy sounds a lot like me, Colt.
There's the news. There's all kinds of other stuff. Everybody's like,
let should talk about this. We're talking about all of it.
But let's be real. Sixty million of us are under
some sort of snowy watch, it's no doubt, and it's
gonna be falling across the country, and a lot of

(00:50):
schools closely, a lot of people out there going what
am I do with these kids? It's even you know,
I'm out here in Nashville, and we got a email
from the Big Boss. So I do my national show
like I do now. I go in and do a
show there, and while I live five literally a five
six minute walk from there, they sit out an email
saying check with your bosses. Tomorrow's going to be really nasty.

(01:13):
You may not be able to come in because we're
already getting some snow here, which is pretty awesome. My
kids are like, oh my god, this is great. It's
ugly out there. Is what I'm telling you, folks.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Up to two inches falling an hour in some areas.
Indiana and Kentucky already seeing more than six inches of snow,
with more to come as the storm heads east, and
in Cincinnati snowplows and salt hitting ice seventy five. Some
cars are already disabled by the extreme conditions.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And my carr is not ready for the cold. I
will tell you that. So last night we went we
went to get like grocery for the week and just
to get out of the house and battery. Everything started fine.
We got to where we were going and we went
in and got groceries, came out. Our car is still
sitting there with uber home to get a new battery
or something.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Today.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's just it's ugly out there and we're not even
in the front of it. I mean, you know, people
listening to this through the Midwest, you guys are getting
kicked in the grundle right now.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
We've been preparing for preparations for the snow. We've been
watching the news the polar vortex as we know that
it was coming in this direction, and so we've been
planning appropriately.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
The Midwest is getting hit. But you've also got the
East Coast getting smashed.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
Residents in Syracuse, New York digging out after several inches
of Lake effect snow moved through the area. Many now
stocking up on winter supplies, including shovels, snowscrapers, and of course, salt.
When the snow is done, Arctic air is forecast to
move in, gripping much of the East. Those bone chilling
temperatures likely to continue through the weak bone chilling.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's the worst. Our little dogs, we take them downstairs
because we went from living in our house where we've
got like this all this you know valley, there are people.
We had a lot of dirt in the backyard, the pool,
the whole nine yards, did all the stuff. And we
went from there to having to take them outside to
their little dog park here in the apartment because we're

(03:08):
like pretty much kind of downtown, and they had to
get little coats because they were they're warm weather dogs.
They're like, we're not going outside. I'll hold it forever
if I have to. This is unacceptable, and today is
going to be freezing for them. I don't think they're
going to be stoked.

Speaker 8 (03:25):
We have about two hundred and fifty heavy and light
plows that are cewed up. Our teams started today at
noon with all the saltine and chemical treatment, and as
soon as the snowflakes start, we give it about two
inches and then we put the plows down and we're
going to work until it's done.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, good luck to you gods speed. It's going to
be ugly out there, that's what we're saying. We give
you the news the way you need it, fast, right
in your face. Speaking of that, Nola, and as New
Orleans for those who are not keeping score, more and
more comes out about the terrorst and again it's very interesting.
The dude easily picked up on easily, and by that

(04:05):
I mean pissed and angry at the world. So he's
easily radicalized. And from there it didn't you know, he
had a plan, and the question is okay, so he
flew to Cairo, spent almost a month there and went
a couple other places in Europe. Did the was he

(04:27):
radicalized there? This possibility? Could he be an on vacation, Yeah,
it's a possibility. These are all things that we may
find out in the coming weeks, but there's no doubt
there are some serious issues. And the question besides how
bad New Orleans failed with the ballards. Those are the
things that come up and protect and several other security measures.

(04:50):
There's no question that this guy seemed to be heading
down a path of destruction. The question is how did
we not know? Was he that much of a lone
wolf that we had no idea that this guy was
spiraling out of control and he had become essentially radicalized.

Speaker 9 (05:09):
The FBI, unveiling a detailed timeline of the New Year's
attack in New Orleans.

Speaker 10 (05:14):
We have a clearer picture today than we did even
two days ago.

Speaker 9 (05:19):
They say. The suspect, forty two year old Army veteran
shamsu Din Jabbar, drove to Louisiana from Texas, arriving in
the city around ten pm New Year's Eve just after
midnight at twelve fifteen, investigators say he set a fire
inside a house he rented in the city and headed
for the French Quarter.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, set a fire, headed for the French Quarter. He
was down. I mean the guy was ready to He had,
you know, his bombs, remote debtonate. I mean, this guy
wanted to do as much damage as possible.

Speaker 9 (05:49):
He was about killing, Investigators revealing Jabbar traveled to New
Orleans twice in the months before the attack. He also
traveled to Egypt and Ontario, Canada in twenty twenty three.
Authorities now investigating whether those trips could be related to
his radicalization, sources telling ABC News Jubar recorded several videos
while en route to Louisiana in which he claimed he

(06:11):
joined ices and told his family he also contemplated harming them, saying,
I don't want you to think I spared you willingly.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Dude has serious issues, it's no doubt. But that's what
isis looks for in people. That's what they look for.
That's what gangs look for. It's funny. I watched a
and I've talked about this for a long time. I
watched the interview. It's about three four months old, and
it is with Tommy Robinson, who is this English activist.

(06:40):
He's also what we call a yobo and Jordan Peterson
and Tommy's in jail for eighteen months and he is
he's got a lot of issues, but he's been very
much an activist on what's going on over there, the
grooming gangs, radical Islam, et cetera, et cetera. But one
of the things that Jordan Peterson talks about is how

(07:02):
easy it is to radicalize because you've got these these
people who are down, who don't seem to have anything,
and it's easy to get them radicalized because they're looking
for something. And these groups, whether it be a local
group or you know, ISIS or al Qaeda or whoever,
they tell you all the things you want to hear,

(07:24):
and you are easy to essentially a suade and to
get them to, you know, to whatever it is that
isis ASK or al kaita Ask or a gang or
whatever it is. That's what they do and they don't
find it hard. There's plenty of recruits. Some of them
are true believers, let's not pretend, but a lot of them.

(07:48):
It is all about finding that person that feels ostracized,
that has nothing, et cetera, et cetera. This guy was
at that point where he had nothing. Obviously he'd become
radicalized and was looking for blame and put it out
there and the West in America was to blame.

Speaker 11 (08:07):
We've also heard, according to sources, that the night of
the attack, he recorded a number of videos on social
media in which he addressed them to his family. He
said that earlier in the year he had joined ISIS.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
He talked a little bit about.

Speaker 11 (08:19):
Wishing to harm his family, but instead he wanted to
turn America's focus towards the war between believers and disbelievers.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
But he still said he.

Speaker 11 (08:28):
Wanted his family to know that he was not sparing
them willingly. It all pains a very chilling picture of
what happened here. According to the FBI, it could have
been far worse.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
It could have been far worse. And the question is
what's next. I mean, that's let's be real. Let's stop
pretending that something's not going to happen. Let's stop pretending
that there isn't God knows how many people here who
would love to do damage to the US, would love
to absolutely destroy anything that has to do with the West.

(09:01):
Let's stop pretending that for a second, because the reality
is that's wishful thinking that they're not here. They're absolutely here,
and some of them were born and raised here, and
some of them just wandered through the border.

Speaker 12 (09:14):
We have not only the persistent threat of foreign terrorism
that of course created the Department of Homeland Security, but
we have adverse nation states, and for the past ten
years we've seen a significant increase in what we term
homegrown violent extremism.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
There you go, he's always got to put that in there.
So always about enuar six, i'megrown terrorism because that's that
Those are always the hints, right like white people do
it too. It's like, okay, we're not talking about that
right here. Okay, we're not. Again, the minute that, you know,
the Baptist minister and his congregations start doing horrific things,

(09:54):
then we need to really pay attention to what's going
on with the Baptist or whoever, the non denominational. Let's understand,
we have a group of people that are absolutely against
everything that we believe. They can't stand anything that we believe.

(10:18):
They do not want anything the West has to offer.
They're not interested in any of the democracies or freedoms,
any of that stuff. They want none of it. Let's
be honest for a second without trying to make everybody
feel good, because that's a lot of what it is. Well,
we don't want, we don't islamophobe. No, no, no, no,
let's be real. Some people out there don't like who

(10:40):
we are and what we're about.

Speaker 12 (10:42):
The phenomenon of radicalization of individuals is not limited to
the military. It is something that we are very focused
upon in society with large The military is not immune
to it, nor is the federal workforce.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Doors anybody. If somebody offers you something, so you're down
and out, you've got nothing going on, you're looking, you're grasping.
If somebody gives you a reason for something and helps
you find the enemy, if you will to put that
blame on, you're easily swayed. It's so ridiculous. Nobody wants

(11:25):
to be honest. And the funny thing is we're going
to continue to not be honest to ourselves. At our
detriment three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, your Twitter tweet at
a Texas program more on the ginormous huge Arctic blast.
Got a lot of that January sixth, of course today

It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 13 (13:09):
Chad Benson on Friday, Speaker of the House, very dramatic,
did you guys see that so dramatic.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
So they held their vote, and there were three others,
so Mike could have lost one Mike Johnson fake name,
and he could have had a person who voted present.
Couldn't have lost two votes against him though, and he
had three. And then Trump got on the phone as
what the hell are you people doing? Massy was never

(13:38):
going to vote for Mike Johnson, so that Trump didn't
even try there, but he got the other two to
come over because of Trump. But just because you got
that job, it just the worst job maybe in DC
to have it. It's just nothing about it that looks exciting. Ah,
you get a little bit more money, right, you gonna
do a little bit more when it comes to the press.

(13:59):
But the reality is is you're never gonna make anybody happy,
and to get anything actually done, you're gonna need the
Democrats because you're gonna have so many people in your party,
the Freedom Caucus, several others that are just they're never
gonna do anything at all because they enjoy, you know,
being people that get nothing done. One hundred percent of

(14:22):
nothing makes them happy.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
Life's going to be hell from Mike Johnson for two years,
every single issue that's coming up. He's gonna need a king.

Speaker 14 (14:30):
Jeffries.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
He can't corral and keep this caucus together. They're all
free agents. Trump is a lame duck. It's still his party.
This is going to be two years of absolute hell
from Mike Johnson.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Absolutely correct, and it's unfortunate because, as I've been saying,
Trump has about sixteen to eighteen months to get the
ship on a path that everybody goes, Okay, this is
what we wanted, because if not, he's gonna see his
majority in the House, which is so slim, already disappear

(15:05):
in the midterms, and potentially lose the Senate because Republicans
have to defend more in the upcoming midterms, and then
all of a sudden, If that's true, he is truly
a lame duck two years where he would be in
a situation again where potentially the House and the Senate

(15:26):
are in the other party's hands, knowing how they feel
about him. So you've got two years to get something done.
Will they? I don't know. He's got a lot of
stuff that he's got to take care of. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four twenty three at Chet Benson shows
your Twitter tweet at his text the program right here
on the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 15 (15:50):
So who said they were skeptical of Speaker Johnson getting
another chance with the gavel. They might say, you know,
this is too much to swallow, and they may demand
that they pair things down.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
We'll say good luck to you, Mike gods speed. Just
it's like I want you guys to de port a
whole bunch of people. Okay, we're gonna need money. I'm
not giving you any money. Okay, so anything like are
you gonna give us anything? But both sides man, and
I've said this for a very long time, Republicans, you've

(16:21):
lost that that that high ground. And I won't say
moral high ground, because none of you in politics, for
the most part, have any moral high ground to stand on.
But I won't say that you've lost that high ground
because you've spent. You spend at like a drunken sailor.
Both sides like to spend. It's where they like to
spend that you have to keep an eye on. Now,

(16:44):
I will say this, there's too much that is out
there that is approved that shouldn't be. You know, when
we're spending money on you know, whether or not you know,
chimpanzees can operate a wrench or little things like that.
But that being said, if some of the things that
the Republicans want to do, you're going to need money,

(17:07):
where are you going to cut and not raise taxes
and do? It is a thankless job, it is, But
you run into that problem where you keep firing everybody
who's the Speaker of the House, and nobody wants to
be Speaker of the House. And then to get a
speaker you have to give in so much that that
person will have too much power. So what do you
do from there? Interesting?

Speaker 16 (17:28):
Indeed, if you're seen the show, grab the podcast, it
is the Chad Benson Show, Son.

Speaker 17 (17:39):
Chad Benson, Joe.

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

Speaker 2 (18:02):
A reminder today it's cold af out there outside of
a few places in the country. Make sure you take
a jacket and then don't leave the house. Just a
friendly reminder from your good friends over here at the
Chad Benson Show. Today is January sixth, Remember those years ago,
four years ago, a day that will live in infamy

(18:23):
with the Babylon b Do the deadliest day in American history.
Today is again one of those days.

Speaker 18 (18:30):
As one of her last official acts as Vice President,
Kamala Harris today will certify her own loss. President Biden
is asking Americans not to forget the event of January sixth,
twenty twenty one, Riding in the Washington Post, quote, we
cannot accept a repeat of what occurred four years ago,
and speaking about Trump, Biden said, quote, I think what
he did was a genuine threat to democracy, and I'm

(18:52):
hopeful that we're beyond it.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
He hopes were beyond it. A genuine you win attack
essentially on democracy. And we'll get to that. Hold that
in your mind, right there, Put that right there, Hold
on anyd don't let that go anywhere, right right, Remember
your card.

Speaker 15 (19:09):
The Electoral Account Reform Act was passed by Congress to
kind of make it harder for individual members of Congress
to challenge the results and to make clear that the
role of the Vice president is purely ministerial, that there's
no judgment involved. That means that Vice President Harris herself
is the one that has to that has to certify
the election results for her rival for former president now

(19:30):
President elect Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Oh my god, but does she have something upper sleeve.
Many people out there on the left believe that they
believe that she's got something upper sleeve, something that she
can do that can switch the flip.

Speaker 19 (19:43):
Trump coming out and calling for a rally with the
supporters January nineteenth, one day before the inauguration.

Speaker 20 (19:52):
Why would you.

Speaker 19 (19:53):
Need to do that the day before you are supposedly
being inaugurated, the poor seventh president. He wants those people
here in town for when it becomes even more evident
than it already is than under fourteenth Amendment, Section three,
he cannot be sworn in. He's done, he knows it,

(20:14):
he's known it for a while. The only thing is
they're ready for you this time.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Dude, Yeah, dude, they're ready for you. So stupid yours
delusional as those other people there that were delusional. Lots
of delusion going on, I know right now. Back to
the situation there where they talked about, you know, what
a threat to democracy is and et cetera, et cetera.

(20:40):
Never mind those people that for the last four years
there has been a gentleman who has been president, and
of which I'm going to be kind here and say
the first twelve months or so was serviceable. But then
there was a massive decline in his mental well being

(21:02):
and because of that, people behind the scenes have been
running everything. Unelected officials have been running stuff, Unelected officials
that are also nameless and faceless. In many cases, powerful
senators have been running stuff. I just want to remind

(21:23):
everybody so when they talk about well, democracy, you know
it's it's under threat and democracy. I want to remind
everybody out there that while you may feel the way
you feel about Trump, and I'm not here to take
that away from you, I want to point out that
those same people have been lying and covering up for

(21:45):
the decline of the guy that is currently president of
the United States of America. And I say that with
a little bit of a shmirk, because I don't really
think he is. I don't think he cares at this
point in time. You do whatever the hell he wants
to do. He's like, I'm out of here, I don't care.
I'm going to go to Europe. I'm going to Rome,
I'm going here. Who wants a pardon? Who wants a

(22:06):
free metal what?

Speaker 21 (22:08):
Obviously, there has been a lot of focus on President
Biden's role in this. You were obviously in close contact
with President Biden well before the public tuned into that debate.
That ultimately led to him stepping down. I want to
play you a little bit of something you said last year.

Speaker 15 (22:25):
Take a look.

Speaker 22 (22:26):
I talked to President Biden, you know, regularly, or sometimes
several times in a week. Well usually several times in
a week. His mental acuity is great, it's fine. It's
as good as it's been over the years. All this
right wing propaganda that he is mental acuity has declined
is wrong.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh really, really? So you talked to him several times
a week. Well, of course everybody did, remember, They would
tell us, well, you guys aren't paying attention. You know,
he doesn't even you. He's just an abocus old school
like Japanese old school aboicus to two figures in his head.
He is working all on so many things. We can't
even tell you. He is so brilliant. He just wrote

(23:05):
a play and it's incredible, it really is. He's been
juggling knives and riding a unicycle all the while. He's
were working on his latest book, which is going to
be only in Latin, which he learned three minutes ago.
You guys have no idea how brilliant he is. You

(23:25):
lied to. The American people want to point that out.
So when you're worried about January sixth, and you're worried about,
you know, four years ago, and you talk about the
fact that, oh, you Trump, we know, ever give up
power and blah blah blah. And in democracy you hid
a person who was in mental decline that's supposed to

(23:45):
be running our country. If you were on an airplane
today and you found out that the pilot has lost
his mind and the person's flying the plane seem to
be doing it, but you don't know who they are,
and they're really not telling you what their cape you

(24:08):
didn't vote for, what the hell's going on? You'd lose
your mind. You'd be pissed. What do you mean our
pilot's not what the hell's going on? I don't worry.
He's fine. He's not fine. He just walked by here
wearing a chicken suit, asked me if i'd like a
foot massage. I said no. By the way, you're telling me,
he's no, he's great. This is how we normally. No, No,
he's not who's flying the plane. Who is, well, it's

(24:31):
kind of on autopilot. That's not who we voted for. Autopilot.

Speaker 21 (24:34):
Lader Schummer, what do you say to Americans who feel
as though you and other top Democrats misled them about
President Biden's mental acuity.

Speaker 22 (24:43):
Look, we didn't, and let's let's look. Let's look at
President Biden. He's had an amazing record. The legislation we passed,
one of the most significant groups of legislation since the
New since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, putting in two hundred
and thirty five judges. A record, And he's a patriot,

(25:05):
he's a great guy. And when he stepped down, he
did it on his own because he thought it was
better not only for the Democratic Party, for the America.
We should all salute him. We should all salute him.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
You're just you're delusional, and you're a liar, and you
got caught in your lying. You're upset. That's it. Look
look the stuff he did, he's not there. Don't tell
me about the stuff he did. You guys, did you lied?
And it's you know, we're talking about Las Vegas and

(25:37):
New Orleans and all these things that are absolutely serious
and we need to talk about them. The reality is
the biggest story last year was the fact that it
became evident that our president person flying the airplane is
incapable of flying the airplane, and because of that, they're
piecemealing it together with a bunch of people who aren't

(25:59):
qualified and that nobody voted for and who weren't hired
to do that job. And that's an issue. And the
media is just like me, you know, Government's like, oh,
well yeah, because if he really is capable, he would
have ran if he really was capable, and he delusionally

(26:20):
thinks he can.

Speaker 21 (26:21):
Do you feel, as we have this conversation today that
President Biden could serve another four years had he stayed
in the race and potentially won.

Speaker 22 (26:29):
Well, I'm not going to speculate, as I said, I
think his record is a stellar one and he'll go
down in history as a really outstanding president.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Shut up, Chuck Schumer, useless. Meanwhile, I speak of Las
Vegas and we touch on it throughout the day. So
Sean Ryan had his big like if you don't know
who Sean Ryan is a big podcaster, military guy. Stuff's
very interesting. And a guy went on his program on

(26:57):
Friday late afternoon about an email he got from the
person who blew himself up essentially in Las Vegas. Well,
he shot himself and then the car blew up. Take
it for what it's worth. But the email has a
lot of stuff in it, and of course the conspiracy

(27:20):
people run wild with it. Is this real email or
isn't it? Some of the stuff that has talked about
in it is very real and documented. One of the
things he's talked about that nobody's saying anything about is
this the so?

Speaker 23 (27:35):
What is?

Speaker 24 (27:36):
Because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned aircraft,
they are the most dangerous threat to national security that
has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity
and can park it over the White House that they wanted.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
It's checkmate.

Speaker 24 (27:49):
US government needs to give the history of this, how
we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is
employing them, and what they and what the way forward is.
China is poised to attack anywhere in the East coast.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
And he was talking about uh, gravatic drones, says that
US in China have them, and what they are is, well,
there's nothing that we we on Earth. We don't have
these things. And we're going to get into a little
bit later, but let's just say if this is true,
it just shows you that there's alien life out there.
I mean, if this is true, but is it? I

(28:27):
don't know. And again the conspiracies run wild. Both Sean
Ryan and the guy that was on the show have
said that they're taking a break from everything and they've
gone off the grid. So that adds to the mystery
of it all. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three acts. I've meant to show to Twitter, your Instagram,
all of the other things. Hope you guys are doing well,

ninety eight, ninety eight. Today it's the Chad.

Speaker 25 (30:07):
Benson serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 26 (30:20):
I'll tricking story, a story about a lion swapping places
with a hedgehog. After two weeks at number two, Disney's
Mufasa the Lion King search to the top spot at
the North American box office with twenty three point eight
million dollars. Sonic The Hedgehog three dropped a second place,
earning twenty one point two million dollars this weekend, enough
to push the franchise passed one billion dollars globally. Horror

(30:42):
Standout in Usparatu secured third with thirteen point two million.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
At number four.

Speaker 26 (30:46):
Disney's Umawana two Wicked rounded out the top five.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
That right, there are movies. Last night was the Golden Globes.
The Golden Globes. Now normally this is like the night
that they all kind of get roasted, and it's both
television and movies, all right, So they both come together,
television and movies, and they give out stuff. And Nicki

(31:12):
Glazer hosted it last night, and you know the who won?
How about this? The movies that won are movies that
none of us will ever see. I'm not trying to
be mean, I'm just being honest, including the big winner,
Amelia Perez.

Speaker 27 (31:28):
The night belonged to Amelia Perez. The Spanish language musical
was the big winner at the Golden Globe Sunday, taking
home four awards, including Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
The Brutalist won three, including Best Motion Picture Drama and
one for its star Adrian Brody. Demi Moore took home
her first ever Globe for her role in the substance,

(31:49):
giving a powerful acceptance speech, you can.

Speaker 8 (31:51):
Know the value of your worth if you just put
down the measuring stick.

Speaker 27 (31:54):
Clips courtesy of the Golden Globes and Dick Clark Productions.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
He's still alive, isn't it? Ryan's Chris Productions. Didn't he
finally take everything from Dick? It's not very nice and
by the way, we've gone over extensively Amelia Perez. Let's
just say it's one of those movies where you're like,
who exactly decided to green lit this? Who was it?

(32:20):
But again, it's about a lawyer in Mexico feels underappreciated,
and it's about a cartel kingpin, Juan Mantez del Monte,
who eventually gets gender affirming surgery to begin a new
and authentic life. And it's a musical. Somebody green lit that.

(32:44):
We talk about it all the time, people, somebody green
lit it now where there are some funny things last night, eh,
Although they didn't talk a lot of Trump. They didn't.
They did, though, make fun of Diddy.

Speaker 28 (32:58):
Then DEA's Here's Inda. You were incredible in Dune. Oh
my god, I woke up for all of your scenes.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
You are so good.

Speaker 28 (33:08):
And Challengers Girl, oh my god, it was so good.
I mean that movie was more sexually charged than Ditty's
Credit Card.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
I mean seriously. Oh no, no, I know, I'm sorry.

Speaker 28 (33:17):
I'm upset to the after party is not going to
be as good this year, but we have to move on.
I know what Stanley Tucci freakof just doesn't have the
same ring to it. But no baby oil this year.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Just lots of olive oil. Okay, look at that. I
made fun of Diddy. It was pretty much about it.
I mean, there, there you go, as you're entertainer report.
A sad thing over the weekend though, Aubrey Plasei, who
is hilarious, her husband committed suicide and just like kind
of shocked everybody. He was a filmmaker. He worked on

(33:51):
several projects with her, and you're just like, my god,
because you just never know, right, you never know what
the person next to you is going through. Ever, you
never know, and they can start slipping down a hole
in depression is one of those things.

Speaker 22 (34:04):
Man.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
People start to get off and no matter how hard
you try, in some cases you may not be able
to do anything, and for some people are just crying
out for help. But he unfortunately committed suicide over the weekend,
and that is a that's just again, it reminds everybody that,
you know, how human all of us are, Even when

(34:25):
you think everybody's got something going for him, Boom, they
take their own lives and leave everybody asking why. I
don't know. They're a very quiet couple, and I love
Aubrey Plasi. She's hilarious, but there was obviously bigger issues
and he had kind of hinted around this look. I

(34:47):
think when you start looking, there are people leave clues
for certain things. Very rarely is there something where there's
absolutely no clue whatsoever about something. Then unfortunately he decided
that his life wasn't worth living, and it's a shame

(35:09):
and it's horrible. And when you do that, you know,
you leave behind people asking questions, avoid in people's lives,
and every one of us is probably at some point
in time in life been touched by somebody who's committed
suicide or tried it. And it is an awful, horrible thing.
Three two, three, five, three eight twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter tweet at his

(35:31):
text program right here on The Chad Benson Show. Coming
up in the second hour of The Chad Benson Show,
should we talk a little bird flu?

Speaker 29 (35:39):
What majority of them have been mild, but they have
been in farm workers who've gotten exposed directly. But the
last couple of cases of Louisiana case a teenager in
British Columbia who got very, very seriously ill. He had
no underlying medical conditions. What we're learning is that the
viruses continue to evolve, and what we're learning is that
the virus can cause really serious illness.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yes you can. It's bird flu. And my suggestion to
you is don't play with birds. Most of them have
been farmers, but they want everybody to know that the
bird flu is out there. But we are five years
since COVID. Did we learn anything? That's a good question
to ask. Talk about that bunch of other stuff. You've
missing a show on the podcast. It is the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Cold af Nationwide. Be careful out there. We'll touch on
that a little bit but first January sixth, four years ago,
a day that will live an infamy. It is four
years later. What will happen? You know, I've said this
over and over again, the role that Trump played as

(37:09):
far as not going and calming people down. I was
pissed about that. I think he played way too much
into so much of that crap. That being said, do
I think that they were all there to overthrow the government? Again,
I don't do. I think there were a few idiots

(37:32):
that were there who thought that they were going to
do something. Yeah, I do.

Speaker 30 (37:38):
Not.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Everybody that got fined and or put in jail is
somebody who is overthrowing the government. But there were people
that were idiots. We can let's be honest with ourselves.
That being said, Man, they've run with this thing forever
in a day, and they're not done with it yet.
MSNBC today Richard Haas of the wapp or whatever America

(38:03):
could go at any moment.

Speaker 31 (38:05):
What it shows me is that American democracy has we
close in on our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, we're
still a work in progress and we're still vulnerable. I mean,
just think what would happen the last two to three months.
If Kamala Harris had won a close electoral victory, it
would have been challenged in the courts, It would have
been challenged in the streets, it would have been challenged

(38:26):
in state legislatures long before January sixth. This time around,
it's not clear to me what this country would have
gone through.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
We escaped it.

Speaker 31 (38:34):
Only because the side and the Republicans who have challenged
in some ways the rule of law came out victorious.
But we shouldn't assume the fact that this January sixth
is going to be orderly and peaceful.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
That we're out of the woods. We're not. We're not well.
So what do you mean? I mean, you got to
tell me. Don't just leave me hanging there, Richard. I mean,
it's tell me. Tell me what's going to happen. Is
that going to happen? Is it over? Is it? What's
going to happen? I mean, is there going to be something?
I don't know? I need to know?

Speaker 31 (39:06):
And what this has to me is we've got to
double down on the lessons of what happened. So what
do we we need to not take for granted that
American democracy is here to stay. We need to teach
it to our young people. Civics needs to become a
staple of American education in middle schools, high schools, and colleges.
I would say I.

Speaker 32 (39:26):
Would add to that national service.

Speaker 31 (39:28):
That's the second thing I would say, begin with civics.
That no one should be able to get a degree
in this country without being familiarized, educated, Read the documents,
read some of the history. Public service ought to become
mainstreams in this so we can bring Americans together who
are now living in totally red or totally blue counties

(39:49):
or states.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
It's crazy that we have to go, oh yeah, we
should probably remind somebody we got this constitution. You guys
should probably read it. I mean, you know, we got
other stuff here, like there's a bunch stuff that goes
with our history, but we've decided not to do that.
We don't even teach. And this is no shot at teachers.
Although you know everybody always say you think about teachers,
you can't ever just say, well, it's no shot at teachers.

(40:12):
The reality is there's some teachers out there that aren't
very good, just like everything else in life, right, there
are some people out there that are like, yeah, yeah,
he's good. And then there's some people are like, he's okay,
but we don't teach the way we need to. And
it is sad that we are in this position where

(40:32):
teaching is kind of, you know, built through bizarre lobbyists
and unions and we've you know, these people get these
curriculums and no, it's not important to learn what our
history is. And that's a sad thing, it really is.
It's a sad, sad, sad situation that we don't teach

(40:57):
our history at all. We don't teach a lot of
things used to. I was talking the other day, how
many of you listening right now took a home ech
maybe a typing class, and you thought, what the hell
am I gonna needed typing for? What's the best thing
you've ever done?

Speaker 31 (41:11):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, I took typing. I'm awesome about it. Yeah. We
just don't teach the way that we need to. We
teach for for whatever reason, we teach limited In the past.
It is very very little about our history. And it
really kind of depends on the state because some states
a little bit more into it. Some states are right

(41:32):
the Blue State. If they could, they would teach nothing
about our history except for the bad when I was
at England. I was amazed because I was young enough
to be over there and doing some schooling and stuff
that how much more about our history they knew than
most kids over here did. Oh yeah. As far as
getting out, I say this every day. I challenge you

(41:52):
guys every day, go out talk to people, talk to
people who don't believe what you believe, find common app
and get out there and see the humanity in others.
Continue Richard.

Speaker 31 (42:06):
We ought to teach people how to navigate the information
landscape because conspiracies and quote unquote alternative facts, there's no
place for them and a functioning democracy. So the lesson
I take from this is, yeah, we got through January sixth,
four years ago. Yeah, this time we didn't have a
major problem because of the outcome.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
But we shouldn't. We shouldn't get comfortable.

Speaker 31 (42:27):
American democracy still faces I would argue, an uncertain future.
And that's the lesson we ought to derive from what
we're talking about today.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
And you know what, that's always true when it comes
to democracy. It's not easy, and it's not free, and
it never has been, and you have to fight for it.
And I'm not talking about in the streets I'm talking

(42:56):
about in general, day to day reminding yourself of what
how blessed we are. If you're not paying attention to
what's going on in England, it is crazy. There are
people who essentially are going to jail for memes, for
going to jail for liking and sharing something that they

(43:20):
deemed to be evil and bad by some sort of
bizarre standard that they've now set up. It's a country
that I wasn't just kind of close to that I
thought of in my second home, and I don't recognize it.
They've allowed their country to be overrun by lunatics when
it comes to this bizarre let everybody in the world

(43:40):
in kind of like we have, but that includes the conservatives,
and they've given up their freedoms. They've given up their
We don't want that here. We do not want that here.
We did not want to give up our freedoms. But
you do have to fight for them. And again I'm
not saying the streets. I'm just saying every day, remind

(44:02):
yourself that in any that it isn't free, and it
isn't easy. Right. It's like if you want to lose
forty pounds and you drop forty pounds. You don't get
to the point where it's well, I've dropped my forty pounds.
Now I can eat and do whatever I want. No,
there's certain things you have to do to maintain that,
and we need to remind ourselves of that. We often don't.

(44:23):
We are so blessed to be in this country. We
are so lucky to be in this country. But if
we're going to lose this country, it's gonna because we
made poor choices. We didn't fight for it, and we
allowed from within the demise of our country. And that's
something we can't have. That's why you have to fight

(44:45):
for it. Somebody's gonna go out there, Goes SOEs. You
mean you want me to pickup arms. No, I don't,
That's not what I mean. And I've already said this
about civil war. I know how many times I have
to talk about this. We'll throw it out the war time.
It's never gonna happen. We're not gonna have a civil war.
We're too lazy. Most people aren't engaged enough to understand
what's going on. There's no need for it, obviously, but

(45:08):
the laziness, like even if there was a need for it,
right there was an absolute must. Well, okay, so what's
that look like? Right, We're gonna have to get off
the couch? Ah? Really, can we make it an app Yeah?
So so settle down there, settle down, indeed not settling
down more and more finding out about New Orleans and

(45:31):
the horror that was this guy had been planning. I
don't know how long he'd been planning this, but it
feels like it is a he'd been planning it a bit,
and it is disgusting and vile what he did. I
think we all recognize that. Again, I don't use his name.

Speaker 9 (45:50):
The FBI unveiling a detailed timeline of the New Year's
attack in New Orleans.

Speaker 10 (45:55):
We have a clearer picture today than we did even
two days, they say.

Speaker 9 (46:00):
The suspect, forty two year old Army veteran shamsu Din Jabbar,
drove to Louisiana from Texas, arriving in the city around
ten PM New Year's Eve. Just after midnight at twelve fifteen,
investigators say he set a fire inside a house he
rented in the city and headed for the French Quarter.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yes, he had gone to New Orleans on a few occasions.
He had gone to Ontario Canada, he had gone to Cairo.
People who knew him said he didn't talk about ISIS,
but he said he had told some people that he
had talked about ISIS and that he had joined them.
And that's some of the stuff that we don't know.
Did you really join them or was this just a

(46:41):
cry for anger and help and you want to blame
America and everybody else for your problems. I don't know.
I mean, there's no doubt that Isis inspired him, and
that's and I talked about it last week, the difference
between inspiration and being dictated to to go do this
or two separate things. Was there somebody who told him

(47:03):
this is the plan, this is what you've got to do,
and go out and do this, or was this a
situation where he was angry, pissed they offered him, you know,
all the camaraderie he thought he needed, and then he
was inspired to go do this on his own. I'm
sure we'll find some of that out. How much of
that will find out that I don't know, because do

(47:26):
I trust the government to tell us everything? No, especially
if it's a situation where you look and you go,
oh my god, this might make a group look bad.
We don't want that because we'd rather lie to ourselves. Yeah,
we don't want that. The British government and the US government,
these governments, the left leaning insanity where everything's about feelings.

(47:48):
They're the people that will allow the pilot to fly
into the mountain rather than say no, that's not it,
we're moving it and you take over yourself, because they
didn't want to hurt the pilot's feelings. We can't be
that Mmm three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four

conditions could bring up to fifteen inches of snow to
parts of Kansas and Missouri. Louisville, Kentucky seeing just over
seven inches of snow, shattering the previous daily record set
in nineteen ten, and in Cincinnati, vehicles were stranded for
more than seven hours on Interstate seventy one after a

(50:28):
cluster of semi trucks got stuck in the snow.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
You don't want a cluster to do that. I'm telling
you that right now. It is cold out there, cold,
I say. And then the skies delays.

Speaker 33 (50:40):

in Arizona. They're breaking records in Arizona as we speak,
starting to snow here. So excited. How could you be excited? Well,
first of all, it's the kind of snow you like,
it's neat to look at, hits the ground after a
while just kind of turns the water. So I don't
worry about any of that. Crazy. But it's gonna be cold. Man.

(51:36):
My kid's never seen the cold. They never felt the cold.
My older one who's thirteen, who's who's with us verse fourteen,
she has, but it's been a while. But my six
year old, Oh, this is the greatest thing in the world.
This cold is awesome. But it is dangerous out there.
So if you're listening to this right now, know that
it is going to be bad for a few days.

(51:56):
It's gonna be cold. Af I don't have to tell
you that because you have I don't know, your body,
a phone, all that stuff to tell you how bad
things are. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four
twenty three At Shed Benson shows your Twitter your tweet

(52:17):
at his text a program I've hearing from all of
you right here. On the Chad Benson Show, more and
more comes out about the bomber in Las Vegas. It's
here's the thing. So Friday there was Sean Ryan, who
does a really cool podcast. It's entertaining. I mean, do

(52:40):
I believe everything that's on there? No, But he had
a guy on that said he had an email from
the Las Vegas guy, and you know, they they kind
of went through it and it was very dramatic, and
some of it is very interesting, and could I see
some of it? A lot of and even they're reporting

(53:00):
it in certain areas that there was like a manifesto
or an email. So when the conspiracies run wild, Do
I think that there is something to what he said
about guilts and you know, some potential war crimes and
some of these things, it's possible. Do I think that
some of it may be over dramatic? Absolutely? Do I

(53:21):
think there was a guy who was struggling mentally in
several different ways? Oh, there's no doubt about that. And
the problem is when you put it all together, there's
portions of stuff that's probably true, and then some stuff
that people read into that it's like, oh it's this
or it's that it's hard to tell and when we
ever know the full story that I don't know, And
that's what everybody wants in life. We want to know

(53:42):
the full story. Makes us feel good as human beings
to connect all the pieces and it helps us reason
with what happened? Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, to Twitter,
your Instagram, you'resen The showther Podcast, Chad Benson Show, The

Chat Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
That is the signal for the bird flu, the bird
flu Chat? You have the bird flu? Kids? Could this
be another thing that comes? What kind of mask do
we wear for the bird flu? How bad is it?
Should I be terrified? This is not COVID.

Speaker 29 (54:54):
When COVID arrived on our shores about five years ago,
we didn't know anything about the virus.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
We don't know it spread.

Speaker 29 (54:57):
We didn't have any treatments, vaccines, tests different. This is
a type of influenza. We do have testing capabilities for it.
We have treatments, and we have some vaccines. We need more,
so we start off in a different place. This is
a virus we have been tracking for years, if not decades.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Yes, they've known about it for quite a while. Must
be prepared though, for another pandemic that Bill Gates unleash's
on all of us. That's the new one I saw
last night. Bill Gates is unlicia. I like it look
I like a good conspiracy theory. I'm not gonna lie
to you. Do I think Bill's doing it? Find it
be weird?

Speaker 34 (55:31):
I do?

Speaker 2 (55:33):
But maybe he's like, if I kill everybody, then I
have to worry about Epstein's list. Oh my god, another conspiracy.

Speaker 29 (55:38):
We need new investments in a new generation of vaccines
so that if it gets a human to human transmission,
if it starts causing more serious illness, we are ready.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Yeah, because some of these ones that are out there,
let's be real. Luckily they do not transmit by air,
and they're tough to transmit because some of these things
are super deadly. But do I think that you should
be running around and going what kind of mats do
I wear? What do I do? Do I have to
kill every bird? I see?

Speaker 29 (56:08):
Majority of them have been mild, but they have been
in farm workers who've gotten exposed directly. But the last
couple of cases of Louisiana case a teenager in British
Columbia who got very, very seriously. He had no underlying
medical conditions. What we're learning is that the viruses continue
to evolve, and what we're learning is that the virus
can cause really serious illness.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Okay, so do I have to use Packsloavin? Is that
what it is? You got? COVID used Packsloavin? There you go.
So we'd like to keep you update on all of
the new breaking potential pandemics that could be out there.
The bird flew this one, so don't mess with birds.
Speaking of stuff that's happening, I saw Zelensky was on

(56:50):
with Lex Friedman, and he is hopeful, hopeful and ready
for peace. He recognizes there is no more money coming in.
He recognizes that this has got to end. His people
want it to end. They're exhausted. Too many people are
dying at a large, large clip. I mean, it is

(57:12):
happening too fast, and he recognizes that. But that being said,
the fight still goes on.

Speaker 35 (57:19):
Ukrainian forces suddenly on the offensive once again inside Russia.
Ukrainian tanks seen advancing into the Russian border region of Kursk,
filmed from a Russian drone closing in Russian state media
showing Russian troops directing fire onto Ukrainian columns as they attack.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Yeah, it's getting ugly. Why is he attacking now? Because
it's all about when the music stops, what you've got
is what you got.

Speaker 35 (57:46):
Ukraine's move comes as it tries to strengthen its hand
for expected peace negotiations once President elect Donald Trump enters
office just over two weeks from today.

Speaker 36 (57:56):
It's still unclear how significant this offensive is, but it
appears Ukraine maybe trying to shore up its hold on
Russian territory in order to use it as a bargaining
chip in any talks after President Trump's inauguration.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Which is what everybody's waiting for. And I saw it
was at Kirby today or somebody had come blink in.
One of the two said, we're pretty confident the next
two weeks we're going to get something done. When it
comes to a seazefire in Gaza, well we'll find out
if that's true. I mean, I don't know, because here's
the thing. While I know that both Russia and Ukraine

(58:31):
are wanting an end, I think Israel's going to be
tough to move. And I think Kamasp who is once
again building up, strengthening up, is going to be tough
to get to that point where they decide to hang
them up, at least for a while, we shall see, indeed,

(58:52):
speaking of chaos and craziness. So the conspiracy around the
guy in Las Vegas. Right, So this Matthew guy, who
is by all accounts an amazing soldier, had a lot
of issues, right, just let's be real. He had mentally

(59:13):
you could easily tell I was telling somebody the other
day PTSD. Oh yeah, potentially. Ct does not rule that
out because he did several tours in Afghanistan, in Iraq,
as well as several other things. So to say that
it was just PTSD, he had some serious, serious issues.

(59:35):
And the way that his anger, you know, you hear
people talking about the way his anger would go from
point A to point B, that he was all over
the place. You would start say, this feels like when
you hear football players who has c CTE, who really
go from point A to point B and they're all
over the place. One minute they're happy and everything's okay.

(59:55):
The next minute they seem completely lost. One minute there
they're kind and the next minute a snap. I mean
that's Those are the signs of CTE to go along
with a lot of other stuff that's out there. But
would I say that that ct HE didn't play a
role in this No. I think it's very much a
part of it. But on Friday, that's where the mystery deepens.
Sean Ryan, who has one of the biggest podcasts out there,

(01:00:17):
former super Soldier If you Will, you know, Special Forces,
all those things. This great podcast played a lot from
Sarah Adams who works with him, has been on his podcast,
had a guy named a shoemate on and supposedly he
had gotten some sort of manifesto or email from Matthew

(01:00:39):
Livensberg who sent him an email about what was going on.
You're like, okay, so what was in the email? Well,
one things for sure. The thing that's kind of being
glossed over is the supposed drones that both China and

(01:01:04):
America has.

Speaker 24 (01:01:05):
The so what is because of the speed and stealth
of these unmanned aircraft, they are the most dangerous threat
to national security that has ever existed. They basically have
an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the
White House that they wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
It's checkmate.

Speaker 24 (01:01:19):
US government needs to give the history of this, how
we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is
employing them, and what they and what the way forward is.
China is poised to attack anywhere in the East coast.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Okay, So is this really the email? I don't know.
There are several emails, there are stuff on his phone,
There's all kinds of things. But that's the thing that
is a mystery to me is not whether or not
this guy did something crazy, because again I when I

(01:01:54):
if this is all real, and judging by what his
ex wife is saying and his ex girlfriend is several
other people, is he was having some sort of breakdown,
could be from guilt. That was one of the other
things he brought up in the email.

Speaker 24 (01:02:08):
I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes
that were covered up during air strikes and nimerous province
Afghanistan in twenty nineteen by the ADMIN, DoD DEA and
cia I conducted targeting for these strikes. Of over one
hundred and twenty five buildings, sixty five were struck because
of sivcast that civilian casualties that killed hundreds of civilians

(01:02:28):
in a single day. Us Foura continued strikes after spotting
civilians on initial ISR. It was supposed to take six
minutes and scramble all aircraft in syncome. The UN basically
called these war crimes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
So that's one of the other things he talked about.
Is that possible. Well, those things did happen, whether or
not they were called war crimes. How that took place?
That did. But I go back to the other thing,
the other thing he talked about with those drones. Those
drones are essentially he called them gravity drones, right, so
gravity propulsion. So what that means is there is no

(01:03:07):
They use gravity as a means to travel, so they
can go from point A to point B in zero seconds.
They can do things that nothing else on this Earth
can do, and we have zero capability on this planet
to do. I find that fascinating because of all the
drone sightings. But Sean Ryan's gone dark, as has this

(01:03:29):
Shoemate guy. The mystery deepens there. It's an odd start
to twenty twenty five. Can we all get an amen
on that? One? Three, two, three, five, three eight twenty

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Irreverence, Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
It's a new year with new things inside of our
show that we're gonna do. We did this once last year,
got a lot of response. We thought, hey, we're going
to do it again, especially now that he's back. No,
not know Svaratu and Dracula, but Trump. You know what
time it is? Trump Derangement Syndrome time. Oh yeah, it's
no time for another episode of Trump Derangement Syndrome. What

(01:05:44):
where do we start? How about the terror attack? That's
Trump's fault.

Speaker 37 (01:05:47):
It's amazing to me that so many people are incapable
of thinking for themselves, and that's why we're in this
position today. In the past four years, we haven't had
any terrorist attacks, and then all of a sudden, as
soon as Trump gets.

Speaker 38 (01:06:01):
Voted into office. Take a look, two terrorist attacks in
less than a week. Somehow this is Biden's fault. If
you guys don't understand how absolutely ridiculous you sound and
how ignorant you are, then you get every thing that
you deserve. And I hope you are the next system

(01:06:22):
victim of those terrorist attacks, because at the end of
the day, if you think this is Biden's fault, you're
clearly an idiot.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Bye bye uh. Trumped arrangement syndrome, it is healthy. In
twoenty twenty five, we continue with trumped derangement syndrome.

Speaker 23 (01:06:39):
By the way, if I know that you are a
Trump supporter and you own your own business, I know
how to list that shit and I know where to
list it to boycott your business from seeing anything you
don't crown. Now you're going to.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Find them out. Do you hear that you done? Yeah?
Because he's kind of come after you and your business.
Oh my god, no, sir, don't do that, sir. We're
playing another episode of Trump derangement syndrome.

Speaker 39 (01:07:10):
I just got to comment from another Trump supporter on
the other app and he's like, you know, you shouldn't
say that you hate us. It's wrong to hate Trump
people just because of who they voted for. And I'm like, no,
I hate you. It is it's true hatred. I know
that I hate you, and it's wrong to hate people
for who they voted for.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
I know that. That's why I have such.

Speaker 39 (01:07:27):
A hard time being around people in my own family
who I know voted for Donald Trump, because I do
hate them as much as I hate him. Yeah, you
can call it Trump derangement system as syndrome if you
want to. I just call it hatred. You're as simple
and I'm not going to spiritually bypass this. I hate you.
If you voted for Donald Trump, you disgusted me as
a human being. If you voted for Donald Trump, you

(01:07:48):
are a terrible, horrible human being. If you voted for
Donald Trump, That's how I feel. I'm not going to
pretend to feel otherwise. When he gets in office, my
hatred for him and his supporters is going to go up.
It's gonna take me years to get over this. Okay,
the amount of hatred I feel. I have to work
off this karma. I know that that's why I'm not
gonna make it worse for being around during the holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Thank god. Trumpt derangement syndrome. Are you kidding me? That's
what the hell's wrong with you? I hate you. That's
that's nice. Now put that with anything else. Because you're black,
because you're a woman, because you're gay, because whatever?

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
Are you gay?

Speaker 36 (01:08:27):
Nuts?

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
It's nuts, You're crazy?

Speaker 30 (01:08:30):
Yeah, crags more from Trump derangement syndrome.

Speaker 40 (01:08:35):
Another way to protest MAGA cheaply is to not shop.
Don't shop, buy everything used and see if you can
get it for free. Don't shop.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Craft to the economy. There you go. Who does that hurt?
By the way, does that hurt just Trump supporters or
does that hurt everybody? And nobody's gonna listen to you
because you're not shopping anyways, because I just don't think
you have the means to purchase a lot of things
because of Trump's arrangements in Rome.

Speaker 41 (01:09:09):
Guys, how do you feel about a lot of US
Blue voters filing I don't know if it would be
a civil suit or a class section suit against Donald
Trump and his minions for the stress and the anxiety
and the effects on our mental health and physical health

(01:09:30):
and well being along with the suffering of our relationships
that Donald Trump has caused us.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
Why is it his fault that you suffer just out
of curiosity? Why is it his fault that you are
struggling in life? Why is it his fault that you're
a hot mess just out of curiosity? I'm asking right
for a friend. I'd like to know why that it
is Donald Trump's fault that relationships suffer, that mentally you

(01:09:59):
were scarred and hurt. Tell me, please share with me
the reason why you are the way that you are
because Donald Trumps president. And it's not just regular folk,
if you will. John Cryer Ducky on with Bill Maher
and his podcast, Uh huh.

Speaker 42 (01:10:16):
And of course we just had the election, and I
feel like my conscious is very clear. I warned everybody
about Trump, and then I warned them that I warned
them about what would get him reelected, which was stupid wokeness,
which is what got him reelected. So I feel my
conscience is very clear that I told you, and I
told you, and I told you, and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
I lost fans for it.

Speaker 42 (01:10:38):
You know, lots of the super woke that like I'm
not woke enough of them yeah, but like I think
I had it right, Like that kind of stuff is
what lost the election for the Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
It's in all may be part of it. I don't know.

Speaker 42 (01:10:50):
I think they have polling on it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
It's well, I think it's inflation. Well, inflation was a
huge thing, but the woke stuff helped. And then you know,
John Cryer starts to go down somewhere that Bill Maher,
which is he doesn't.

Speaker 43 (01:11:02):
I think Americans hate inflation. They hate riots, and they
hate black women, they hate trans people. They just spent
hundreds of millions. They don't humanizing trans people and disgusting. Yeah,
we shouldn't politics.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
He actually in the podcast said, hey, dude, I can
go take this out if you want, right, we don't
have to have this in here because you have trumped
arrangement syndrome. Just deranged. I don't get it. Man, living
that rent free in somebody's head has got to be
a weird thing, right, Like, just got to be such

(01:11:43):
a bizarre situation where you live that rent free inside
another human being's dome, where all they think about is
you and the evil that you're about to unleash on
the world or whatever it is that they assume that
you're going to do. It's just bizarre, totally bizarre. Three two, three, five,

(01:12:06):
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your Twitter? Your tweet at a text program? Right
here on The Chad Benton Show, coming up next hour,
more on Nola and the attack. There was it a conspiracy?

Speaker 14 (01:12:21):
Are we established beyond any reasonable doubt that New Orleans
there was an acting, single man acting alone. All the
talk about conspiracies with other people, no evidence to that.

Speaker 20 (01:12:32):
Zero.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
No, I don't think there was a conspiracy that they
acted together. I think that's pretty much kind of been
put to bed. Questions still remained for both Las Vegas,
which we just talked about, and obviously New Orleans and
New Orleans got some big games coming up, including the
super Bowl. Talk a lot more about that, bunch of
other stuff to get to. If you miss any of
the show, as you guys always knows ham on you,

(01:12:54):
I'm sure you grab yourself to the podcast. This is
the Chad Benton Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
This is the Chad ben Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
Now it's time for the Chad Action News Weather Reports.
When Weather Weather's we weather the storm.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
That's right, we weather store the weather weather's because it's
weathery outside cold. You say, indeed, well.

Speaker 44 (01:13:46):
It's just going to be a wintry met says.

Speaker 45 (01:13:47):
We get through the rest of the day, with this
storm system taking over more than twenty one hundred miles
of the United States real estate, we're starting to see
the warnings trim back. So Saint Louis, the winter storm
warning has ended for you folks, but you can see
above me since you're still well in the warning as
the snow continues to come down at a pretty heavy pace.
So here's what radar looks like. Over the past twelve hours.
We had a quick band of very heavy snow along

(01:14:09):
with ice to the south of that in Pink, farther
south than Green, we had all that rainfall with the
heaviest snow in our nation's capital of Washington, d C.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
Snow rates should become lighter as we enter into the.

Speaker 45 (01:14:19):
Afternoon for d C Philly out towards Baltimore, but still
ongoing until tonight. I think it really takes us still
after midnight for the I ninety five corridor to see
that storm system clear out and finally dry off.

Speaker 44 (01:14:31):
As we get into tomorrow's forecast.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Weather is weathering. Indeed, it is ar Hurgley out there.
That's what we're trying to tell you. That's what we're doing.
We're trying to just help you because today sucks. It's
a crappy day. Like the holidays officially behind us, there's
nothing coming on Wednesday. You're back at work. It sucks.
It's not the way we want to see the year

(01:14:54):
start off.

Speaker 45 (01:14:55):
So how much more snow still about four to eight inches,
so we'll get close to double digit territory in d C.
With another couple inches still possible back towards the Ohio
River Valley through the Virginias though outside of DC, farther
south and west, that's where significant icing will be a concern.
Through the Appalachian Mountains, Nick, this is going to be
a widespread impact with the storm system. And again we're

(01:15:16):
really feeling for those travelers out there. You got a
lot of time off from the holidays. Everyone's back to
work today and it's a miserable setup when it comes
to the weather.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
Miserable. Now, I didn't really take any time off, but
I did a different the national show, but I had
a local show that I didn't really have any time
off per se. But I will tell you it sucks
because I woke up today, go man, the holidays kind
of flew by, and I didn't really you know, and
it just oh and then you got to go back
to work, and it's like, oh jeez, right, crundle right

(01:15:46):
kicked it the crottle. And even here I'm out here
in Nashville, we got a little bit of snow. A
dusting is the kids would say, a dusting of snow.

Speaker 46 (01:15:54):
By the time it's all said and done, up to
a half an inch of significant icing could be occurring
in northern Kentucky and Washington.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
DC is in for.

Speaker 46 (01:16:01):
Potentially their biggest snowstorm in three years. After this is done,
on Thursday, temperatures in DC will feel like two degrees
below zero. And that's the day of the final procession
for President Jimmy Carter.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
Oh is it because Jimmy Carter nine? Or is it
because Donald Trump is about to assume the throne. Here's
your weather update. We keep you up to date. When
you need a date, we get you up to date.
What I got our Doppler five gazillion, it's ready to roll.
I love in the locals. How's your Dopler five thousand
and the people across the street of adopt their five

(01:16:35):
thousand and one. Kind of like price is right, is
gonna go up one? Ours is better because it goes higher.

Speaker 7 (01:16:41):
Not very nice.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Manson Show is your Twitter? Tweet at
his text the program. Meanwhile, in DC January sixth, four
years ago, on this day, the most heinous thing happened
of all time, the riot that destroy our mocracy. There
was a riot, not an insurrection. Now, I've always prefit

(01:17:06):
this was not happy. The way Trump acted all the
way up to it. Couldn't prove anything in court. Sorry
till you can. This is what it is. Secondly, you
should have been quicker. It should be quicker to tamp
down everything. You should have been quicker. Yes, you said
go down there and march peacefully, all that stuff, but
you should have been quicker on the draw when you
saw things were getting out of control. That being said,
do I think that there were five thousand people that

(01:17:28):
stormed the castle if you will to overthrow?

Speaker 38 (01:17:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
Do I think there were a few nut jobs who believed,
in some way, shape or form that they were going
to do something that was going to alter something. Yes,
yes I did. Because when you put a bunch of
people together, they get riled up. They're stupid, they're idiotic,
dumb things happen. That being said, Today is January sixth.

Speaker 44 (01:17:50):
After making their way through snow covered DC streets to
the Capitol under tight security, members of the House and
Senate will watch as Vice President Harris opens the envelopes
containing the electoral vote. After they're tallied, Harris will announce
she was defeated by Donald Trump. No objections are expected.
As we saw four years ago, they'd be much tougher
to make now under recent reforms passed by Congress, twenty

(01:18:11):
senators and eighty seven members of the House would have.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
To co sign. Yeah, it's not gonna happen. And look,
you said four years ago, go back eight years. I
mean since Gore, there's always somebody who objects. Now it's
the role of the vice president in particular is no
more than just a figurehead. So that's what's gonna happen. Okay,

(01:18:35):
So he's gonna be president. And saw you people out
there on the left are like, oh my god, the
world's over. Just shit, M's get over yourself. You're gonna
be fine. Meanwhile in NOLA, that's New Orleans more and
Moore's coming out about what took place, this guy who
killed all these people who wanted to kill Moore as

(01:18:57):
they start to dig deep into who he was. So
also questions about security.

Speaker 11 (01:19:06):
The carnival season begins here tomorrow with the Joan of
Arc Parade. The mayor has said that she would like
to raise the security level for Marty grock gick It
up to a higher level, get some federal assistance. She
also says she's going to be talking with President Biden
because he will be here in New Orleans tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
Yeah, and the question about why didn't you use the
ballards the way you were supposed to? I know some
of them were broken, and and in fairness, it was
much later. The bars were already closed down, people were
out on the street. You know, at some point do
you you know, you lower them, But that wasn't it.
They were never up. I mean, in truth, had this

(01:19:44):
guy gone earlier, the streets would have been way more
packed than they were. But at three point fifteen as
opposed to twelve or twelve thirty or one, they weren't
as packed. Thank God for that, But there were lots
of issue use when it comes to the security of
the people there. But you might see even further.

Speaker 11 (01:20:05):
Elevated security for the Super Bowl, which is just a
month away. That of course also has federal resources coming
in multiple steps of law enforcement from local, state, federal officials.
They'll be considering cyber threats as well things on the
water here in New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
There's a lot of layers to it, Yeah, lots of
layers and continuing layers to this, as there should be.
And I go back to what is out there that
we don't know about, who is out there that we
don't know about? Two million people came across the border
that were quote unquote godaways. We have no idea who

(01:20:41):
they are. What happens? Then? What are we doing right now?
Because even if our homeland security right myorcas ah, the
border secure lies, even if they were all on it
as much as possible, many of these people that would
like to do harm to us are way underground. And
when you hear we played that stuff from Sarah Adams

(01:21:01):
last week, when you hear more and more from her,
the numbers that she is talking about, which they the
potential for death and injuries and whatnot. Is not the
tens or the fifty or the one hundred. She's talking
fifty sixty thousand people. And if you think no way,

(01:21:25):
think about this. If there was a coordinated attack of
say eleven hundred gie hottis, if each one of them
can wound and or kill forty people, well that's a
whole different ballgame. It is. I think we recognize that.

Speaker 9 (01:21:41):
The FBI unveiling a detailed timeline of the New Year's
attack in New Orleans.

Speaker 10 (01:21:46):
We have a clearer picture today than we did even
two days ago.

Speaker 9 (01:21:51):
They say the suspect, forty two year old Army veteran
shamsu Din Jabbar, drove to Louisiana from Texas, arriving in
the city around ten PM New Year's Eve just after
midnight at twelve fifteen, Investigators say he set a fire
inside a house he rented in the city and headed
for the French Quarter.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
So that's how it started. So sets a fire, heads
off to the French quarter in away heads.

Speaker 9 (01:22:13):
Investigators revealing Jabbar traveled to New Orleans twice in the
months before the attack. He also traveled to Egypt and Ontario, Canada.
In twenty twenty three. Authorities now investigating whether those trips
could be related to his radicalization, sources telling ABC News
Jabbar recorded several videos while en route to Louisiana in
which he claimed he joined ices and told his family

(01:22:36):
he also contemplated harming them, saying I don't want you
to think I spared you willingly.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
The whole thing about this guy is he was easy
pickings because he was pissed and angry at the world.
He had nothing the right he was basically bankrupt. His
three wives were gone, they took his kids away. He
had gotten to the point where you know, he's living
in a trailer with pigs and sheep and goats and stuff.

(01:23:03):
I mean, there was nothing, and he was angry and
pissed and the radicalization win did that begin? Why didn't
we know if it began six months or a year ago,
Why did we not know about it? Because that's to
me as scary as anything is. You didn't know about
this six months or a year ago. You guys couldn't
pick any of this up. Wanted to kill his family,

(01:23:24):
but his family and people that knew him said he
started acting erratic a few months ago, but as far
as like the talk of ISIS and stuff that you know,
and he had the metaglasses on too, those the other
things one around with those meta Google glasses like film
and stuff. Oh my god, how much worse it could
have been as horrible as it is. What this guy,

(01:23:49):
if it would have worked, how much worse? And he
for the most part sounds like he was a bit
of a buffoon.

Speaker 11 (01:23:54):
We've also heard, according to the sources, that the night
of the attack, he recorded a number of videos on
so media in which he addressed them to his family.
He said that earlier in the year he had joined ISIS,
he talked a little bit about wishing to harm his family,
but instead he wanted to turn America's focus towards the
war between believers and disbelievers. But he still said he

(01:24:15):
wanted his family to know that he was not sparing
them willingly. It all pains a very chilling picture of
what happened here. According to the FBI, it could have
been far worse.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
Thank god it wasn't. And the question now is not if,
but when and what does that look like for our
homeland security and all of our agencies. How prepared are
they and how prepared are they getting everybody in places
like big cities where there's could be big gatherings as well.
And I'm talking about the police forces thinks of that

(01:24:45):
nature because there is a worry and how could you
not how could you not have a worry when you
know how many people have been led here? Well, yeah,

today and even few later on this week. But definitely
uncomfortable time in the NFL if you're not in the playoffs.
Three two three three At Chad Benson Shows your Twitter,
you're gonna see the show grab podcast Chat Benson.

Speaker 17 (01:30:47):
Show, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
The Chad Benson Shell.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
As Donald Trump gets ready to be not the President elect,
but the President of the United States, Biden's doing everything
he can to make sure that drill drill, drill, baby, drill,
drill drill is going to be tough, tough, tough.

Speaker 47 (01:31:30):
President Biden is taking sweeping executive action to ban all
future offshore oil and natural gas drilling on America's East
and West coasts, the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska's
North Bering Sea. According to the White House, this move
block's drilling at more than six hundred and twenty five
million acres of US oceans. The President said in a statement, quote,
Drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places

(01:31:53):
we hold deer and is unnecessary to meet our nation's
energy needs. It is not worth the risks.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
What risks are those? Well, Chad climate change, I get it.
Climate change, man, What a poondoggle that is. So you're
saying you don't believe in climate change. I never said
I don't believe that we have an impact on the planet,
because I know we do. The impact is negligible. And
the people that want you to say it's settled, it's

(01:32:23):
not settled. It's settled because they say it's settled doesn't
make it settle. You can find people that will juxtapose
the position that those people have with other science, and
you go, Okay, so who am I going to believe here?
How far do you guys go back? Well, we started here, Well,
the record keeping back then was awful. By the way,

(01:32:43):
the way that we measured back then was awful. We
can go on and on and on. Now, who do
you hurt here? Just out of curiosity, who do you hurt?
Because it's not just this. If you guys didn't see yesterday,
he went in a different direction when it came to
natural gas water heaters. So who do you think that hurts?

Speaker 48 (01:33:08):
This new natural gas water heater ban is a regressive
tax on the American people. It's going to hurt the
most vulnerable among us. That's what's so sad about this
that it is people who can least afford it. They're
going to have to pay them most for these new
water heaters that they're going to have to install and
retrofit into their places where they live. This is a

(01:33:29):
sad day, I think, because it really is. It's the
poor that are going to be affected most by this ban.

Speaker 2 (01:33:36):
It's the poor. Of course, they don't care, because the
things that matter most are the people that live in
a world of craziness and chaos and and oh my god,
it's about to climate change and all of just I
sit back and I just say, just for God's sakes,

(01:33:56):
common sense. Right, This is why Trump. You want to
know why Trump. Common sense? Common sense is why Trump.
If you're gonna go out there and you decide, well,
we're gonna get rid of this, this and this because
of this, and we're gonna have this this. We got
this law that we're gonna be able to use to
stop this. It's ridiculous. I wish we had some magical thing.

(01:34:17):
Maybe that thing that is flying around the drone that
the guy from Vegas says basically no propulsion works off gravity.
Maybe that thing is the answer. But we're just not
getting that answer yet. We're not speaking of that Vegas.

(01:34:37):
His ex girlfriend is talking about the fact that he
reached out on his way to Las Vegas. Her name
is Alicia Art, and you know they were together little

(01:35:00):
while ago, but out of nowhere he texted her.

Speaker 34 (01:35:02):
He was really open about the trauma he faced and
the teammates he lost. He lost a lot of teammates
over the years.

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
Yeah, that was a big thing. One of the things
he was struggling with, the fact that he had lost
a lot of people that he and I go back
to this. I think not only did he have PTSD,
but I think he had ct I think he had
suffered enough with his brain, judging by the way that
he was acting. I bet if you could, you'd look

(01:35:35):
and you say, this guy's got probably CTE from the
massive that changes in his personality, the way that he
would explode. You hear about it, same thing with football
players and stuff like that. I would put money on
it that CTE was was a huge part of this.

Speaker 34 (01:35:56):
I think he was just reaching out and I just
didn't pick up on it. I don't think he didn't
say anything explicit that would have triggered it. I guess
I just wish I had responded differently.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
Because I think she was a bit shocked and talked
for a while.

Speaker 34 (01:36:15):
Throughout his life, the most important thing for him was
being there for his teammates, and he gave everything he
had to them in the army.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
That is Alicia Arrett, that is the former girlfriend of
the Las Vegas bomber suicide. Again, I don't even know
how to explain that. Because he killed himself then it exploded.
Is that what he wanted to happen? What was I
don't know. Did he mean to kill a bunch of

(01:36:44):
people and it didn't work, or was it just worked
out the way it was supposed to or was that
not supposed to work? I don't know. And you know,
of course the conspiracy of Sean Ryan Show and the
guy that was on with him on Friday. Now both
of them I saying they're taking time off because he'd
gotten emails from this guy and talking about the gravitational

(01:37:08):
thing that we touched on. Also that you know, he
knew that we had committed war crimes and he was
having a tough time living with that. There was a
lot that went into this, and no doubt about that
is not as cut and dry as what you see
in Nola. That's New Orleans for those of you not
keeping score. Meanwhile, on Friday, we got a new Speaker
of the House. His name is Mike Johnson.

Speaker 32 (01:37:29):
The Biden administration has taking its eye off the ball.
I mean, they did not prioritize, in our view, the
right things, and the FBI was off doing all these
various and sundry things, putting their emphasis and their investigations
and their eye on you know, conservative Catholics and concerned
parents at school board meetings and all these other things.
They tried to convince us that the greatest threat to
the Homeland was racially motivated extremism when we all looked

(01:37:53):
at the wide open border and thought logically that that
might lead to terrorist attacks in the future. You know,
we need a dramatic change. Emphasizes once again why this
election was so important to the country and we cannot
get President Trump here soon enough. We need all of
these people that he's chosen, who are law and order types,
who will get control of these agencies, including the FBI
and the DOJ, to get to work immediately. It can't

(01:38:15):
happen soon enough.

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
You know, last night, my wife and I were watching
the Martha Stewart documentary on Netflix, and James Comey went
after her. And if you watch a lot of these
people that have been prosecuted who were either whistleblowers or
people like this, they don't care who you are, they
go after you. And John Kerry cow who was the

(01:38:36):
guy that whistleblowed on I hope I said his name
right if you never seen him, he whistled blew on
essentially the torture that we were doing, the secret you know,
enhanced interrogation, and he ended up going to jail for
like eighteen months and he got out after you know,

(01:38:58):
several months. But he talked about the fact that they
essentially hand pick where they're going to prosecute you, how
they go and do all of these things. They're always
looking for one hundred percent slam dunks. They overcharge you
because the goal is never to get you to court.
It's for you to eventually say, uh, yeah, okay, fine,

(01:39:21):
I'll just take a deal so I can, you know,
get out in several months. It is insane. And Martha
Stewart and again comy thirty twenty four thousand dollars what
she she got off the trade from her insider trading.
And this is the crazy part. Her fine was thirty
thousand dollars. Are you did you get did you get him? Yeah? Cash?

(01:39:46):
Buttel needs to go in there and clean this up.
It's a hot mess, it really is. And we'll find
out what happens soon too, because I think there's gonna
be a lot of issues this year, and no doubt
about that. There's gonna be some serious issues in this ry.
And I think we need serious people who aren't interested in,
like I said, going after pro life people or mothers

(01:40:06):
who went to a school board and made the people
there feel uncomfortable three, two, three, five, three eight, twenty

Speaker 1 (01:41:28):
Welcome to Cheshe no not the country, the institution, the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 18 (01:41:34):
As one of her less official acts as Vice President,
Kamala Harris today will certify her own loss. President Biden
is asking Americans not to forget the events of January sixth,
twenty twenty one. Riding in the Washington Post, quote we
cannot accept a repeat of what occurred four years ago,
and speaking about Trump, Biden said, quote, I think what
he did was a genuine threat to democracy, and I'm

(01:41:56):
hopeful that we're beyond it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:58):
Said a man supposedly who I want to remind everybody
did what lied to the American people, along with several
others about the condition that he was in mentally and
physically while non elected officials, nameless and faceless ran our

(01:42:20):
country during those times. Let's write on hoped about that.

Speaker 49 (01:42:26):
The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most
fundamental principles of American democracy. As much as any other principle.
It is what distinguishes our system of government from monarchy
or tyranny. Today, at the United States Capital, I will
perform my constitutional duty as Vice President of the United
States to certify the results of the twenty twenty four election.

Speaker 2 (01:42:52):
There you go, good, look I have will continue to
say this trump Jack the pooch on January sixth, four
years ago, and the run up to it, you didn't
have any court wins that you should have had if
you really believed all of these things. It was never
going to change the results. And you hoping for something

(01:43:15):
that wasn't going to ever change anything, just never going
to happen. But that being said, do I think it
was this mass, huge thing where this insurrection where they
were coming in. I mean, who has an insurrection with
no guns just out of curiosity? Who's going to overthrow
the government? The United States government? With no firepower? Who's

(01:43:40):
going to walk in inside of places and like, hey,
don't tip the velvet ropes over. Oh, there are a
bunch of ass hats and idiots in there, don't get
me wrong. And a few of them thought in their
mind that they were doing something for the greater good.
But for the most part, there were people who got
caught up in the moment, and they don't deserve their
lives to be ruined, and it's time to move on

(01:44:00):
from there. But they're gonna continue to ride this bad
dog for as long as they can. Just beat that horse,
it'll come back to life. Just keep doing it, Just
keep doing it. Trump says he's gonna pardon. He's gonna
pardon a lot of people. He's already said he's gonna
look at some cases because some cases there were people
who thought they were going to do something, who thought
they were a part of something, who thought that they

(01:44:21):
were gonna do something that was going to what keep
him in power. Yeah, so I think those people are
gonna have a tough time getting their pardons. But for
the most part, come on, let's get over it.

Speaker 50 (01:44:34):
There are no formal plans by Republican leadership to mark
the anniversary of January sixth.

Speaker 33 (01:44:39):
Today.

Speaker 50 (01:44:39):
Ceremonial events expected to run smoothly, but local law enforcement,
federal officials they are not taking any chances. Today has
been declared a national security event. There's a larger police presence,
and that fence thing is back up around the entire
Capitol complex.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
Remember, offences don't work. But that being said, has nothing
to do with whether or not there's going to be
a storming of the case Capital. A lot has to
do with whether or not there's gonna be some issues elsewhere,
because that's what we've been talking about for the last
week and a half. Really, I brought this thing up
for months. How can you have too many people come
in our country?

Speaker 42 (01:45:11):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:45:11):
I think there are some bad dudes here, and we've
got bad dudes. We already have enough bad dudes. We
don't need anymore. We don't need to import anymore crazy.
That's what I'm trying to say, just putting that out there.
We don't need to import any more crazy. Yet we
have done that, and there are already people here who

(01:45:36):
shouldn't be here. There are people here who have come
here and God only knows what they're gonna do. It's
not if, but when people you recognize that this is
not this is not me trying to scare you, this
is not it's just keep your head on a swivel,
be careful where you go when when if you just
feel uncomfortable, that's that's okay. It's okay. We can't live

(01:46:00):
in fear, but we should be aware, absolutely one aware
of what may happen, God willing it doesn't. I would
love to be one of those people saying, ah, dude,
you just you you were ridiculous. But I don't think so.
And I think most of you understand that there cannot
be two million people that come into our country. And

(01:46:21):
I'm not talking about the likes of the trenta Agua
Gang of the MS thirteen's. I'm talking to people that
have come into our country who are diametrically opposed to
everything that we believe in, who want no part of
the freedom that we offer, who want no part of
any of the things that we have to offer. They

(01:46:43):
want no part of it. They hate our country, they
hate the values that we stand for, and they want
to start a war. They want to impose their will.
And it's not just here, it's globally. We've seen it
and we're going to continue to see it. And our

(01:47:05):
kindness in the West is being exposed. Our kindness in
the West is absolutely being exposed. And we need to
figure out what we're going to do about it and
how we're going to be both welcoming and understand that

(01:47:27):
not everybody who wants to come here wants to come
here for the right reasons. Okay, okay, okay, you know
at that time the show is it's the first one
of the year. I'm not going to leave you guys hanging.
Oh yeah, no, it's time for the Gary Pucy moment
of the day.

Speaker 14 (01:47:49):
You know, every day I wake up, I find it
great to find a word to live by. But you
can't think of the word. You've got to feel the
word another word. The words comes out of you first,
and it's your truth that you're feeling about who you are,
what you are, where you're going to do, and how
you been. It's really good. Vicariously it's the word that
came to me this morning. Vicariously is a way you

(01:48:09):
go through life in terms of paying attention to all
things and don't rush, but go easy. It's like release,
relax and let go, except you do it for yourself,
not for others. And when you do that, you're complying
with yourself, and you are like a lightning rod to
the lightning energy of the people you meet and see

(01:48:30):
around you, be they known friends of yours are complete strangers.
It doesn't matter. You're a friend to all because of
your vicariousness, which works for your heart and others. And
you'll become a leader without leading.

Speaker 2 (01:48:45):
He's nuts. It's a good way to start the year.
Three two, three, five, three, twenty four to twenty three
at Chat Benson shows your Twitter tweet as text program
right here on the Chat Benson Show, Solid fun. First
Monday of the year. Who knows what's gonna happen? Man,
this year's already gotten. So we've had the horror of

(01:49:05):
the attack, then the explosion, and who knows what conspiracy
in Las Vegas. We have got Trudeau resigning Trudeau. We've
got all this stuff happening and we're only a few
days into the new year. It feels like it's whoa.
And then today January sixth, Trump, Oh my god, it's certified.

(01:49:26):
We're a couple weeks away from the inauguration. Kids, it's
just all taking place and we're just beginning. If you're
missing the show, shame on you grab the podcast, have
a blessed rest of your day. We'll do it again.
