Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's beginning to look a lot like the snow Miser's
getting ready to make a trip across America in a major,
major way. Kids, It's going to get ugly and cold.
Be prepared. Now. It's time for the Chad Action News
Weather Reports. When Weather Weather's we weather the storm. Weathering

(00:39):
the storm is what we're going to do for the
next couple of days from Texas to the Carolinas and
a lot of places in between. Get ready for a
massive storm.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
This massive system coming on the heels of a fast
moving clipper that brought snow squalls to western Pennsylvania, major
lake effects, snow south of Buffalo, some sixty vehicles involved
in a series of crashes on ninety the scene stretching
six miles.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Huge, huge storm, and I'm talking about massive storms. So
be prepared. About one hundred and eighty million people in
the path of this beast. And it is a beast, indeed.
And as you look around and you think to yourself,
am I gonna be stuck in this? Right You're in Texas,
You're like, are we gonna get some? You're gonna get some,
You're gonna get some. Some A decent amount of cold.

(01:26):
And again it's weather. Weather changes, weather does what weather does.
You can predict all you want, right, but it's gonna
be cold. It's gonna be nasty, and the chances of
getting a little snow dump and then all of a
sudden behind that a cold freeze, so you may get
some black ice.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
In Texas, some residents are racing to buy portable generators
to stay warm, hoping to avoid a repeat of the
storm that left millions without power for days back in
twenty twenty one. During that storm, Senator Ted Cruz faced
scrutiny for taking a family trip to Mexico. A photo
this week of Cruz flying to California quickly spread online,

(02:09):
but his office says Cruise will return before the storm.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh will he now? Oh will he? Yeah, he's going
to Man, he's never really lived that down. But Texas
among other states across the nation or bracing for this.
And Texas, remember what happened, you guys, remember how bad

(02:35):
it was there? What happened the grid? The grid failed.
A lot of grids across the country are going to
be tested in a major way in the coming days.
So I know where I am right now. We are
expecting snow followed by a deep freeze afterwards. So the

(02:57):
rain's going to come and there's going to be a
deep freeze. And they're talking about, you know, the ice coating,
the war, you know, the roads everywhere. But the big
thing is are the grids like in Texas, Tennessee and
other places, are they prepared to handle what is coming.
So it's gonna be interesting for the next few days,

(03:18):
to say the least, speaking of cold DeVos, little thaw
potentially in what's going on over there with the Greenland thing,
because we got to deal with Greenland. I've ordered everybody
to stop tariffing each other. We've got a deal. It's
a great deal. It's a good deal. It's gonna be

(03:39):
an awesome deal. We're gonna own Greenland. You're not gonna
own it, but we are. But you're not, but maybe
probably not. Here's the deal that we're getting with Greenland.
So remember all the chaos and the craziness and all
of that. And then he threw water on the taking
of my force kind of at lease for now and

(04:00):
a deal kind of done. And like everything else with Trump,
it's a lot of we got a deal done. It's
the greatest deal in history. It's never done anything better
than that. And well, what's in the deal, You'll have
to wait and see because he don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
So the President has this meeting with the NATO Secretary
General and he says in it they discussed a framework
of a deal, a concept of a plan, but when
asked by CNBC, he didn't offer any more details. And
whether or not Denmark and Greenland itself agrees to the terms,
one thing is very clear. It appears in the United
States is not going to own Greenland outright.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, that's not happening. So from what I understand, everything
you know is on the table outside of owning Greenland outright,
So that's not going to happen, which is what Trump
said we needed to happen. It has to happen, it
must happen. It's not and I go back to this

(04:59):
with with this, and you know, take it for what
it is. Some people get mad at me, you don't
like mega and whatever. The reality is, we could have
always done what we're probably going to do. And he

(05:20):
used to stick before.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
The carrot and the the and I'm not saying that
we don't need it for some strategic purposes, but we
always kind of had it for some strategic purposes.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
They're an ally of ours. They also don't want Russia
peeping around there. They also don't want the Chinese coming
in there. They're part of NATO. So we could have
done this in a much different way. And what it
looks like, I don't know, because nobody knows what it

(05:56):
looks like. But we are going to find out sooner
rather than later, I'm sure. But it's a framework. And
the good news is nobody's going to be tariffing each
other and going after each other, at least not anytime soon.
So we'll find out it's going to be you know,

(06:18):
I mean, it's like everything right, we make it way
harder than it needs to be. It didn't need to
be this hard. And that's my frustration.

Speaker 7 (06:30):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
People say, well, you get frustrated Trump a lot. Well,
I get frustrated Trump for a lot of different things,
as I did Biden, as I did Bush and Obama.
You know, I mean, I get frustrated because there's things
I think a lot of people get frustrated with when
it comes to this. This didn't need to be this way,
and that's just it. I felt like, why are you

(06:51):
making things harder than you need to do when it
comes to this situation. But the good news is we
got something done, maybe kind of sort of because you
never know, because two weeks from now it might not
be the same. We tried, it didn't work there, just

(07:12):
there we go. We tried. We gave them the opportunity,
but they said no. And to give you guys just
a quick understanding of Greenland, this is going to be
a lot of it. You know. The Golden Dome is
what a lot of people are talking about here for
this and and our protection there. I get that when
you break down the numbers and look at the years

(07:32):
that's going to take to get to that, it's going
to take a long time, and it's going to take
hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars when it comes
to extracting things and swell as building the Golden Dome.
So this is not we signed a deal, We're going
to start work tomorrow to be done in three weeks
kind of thing. Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(07:54):
twenty four twenty three. Atch had been to show your ex,
your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook and more. Love hearing from
each and every one of you. We move from one
cold place to another. But this one's about immigration, which
is kind of heating up, as we already know. Got
a text earlier from somebody it's very here's the immigration thing.

(08:14):
And I continue to say this, and I'll say it
over and over again. The chaos with immigration has been
brewing for decades. And I said in this text, this
is not all Trump's fault. Okay. Now, do I like
the way the DHS has acted? I don't. Do I
like the way that the ICE agents at times have acted.

Speaker 8 (08:35):
No.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Do I think that everything that we're seeing is strictly
above board from the protesters. No, that's a bunch of crap.
You know that. And I know that it's not as
organic as you think. And the way that the protesters
are going about this at times is nuts. It really is.
It really is. Now. ICE has been around, like I said,
since after nine to eleven, last time I checked. ICE

(08:58):
did raids during Biden during Obama. But Trump, anything that
happens is insane. You may not like him, you may
not like the way he's handling this, and I at
times have serious reservations about a lot of what is
going on with them, including the latest when it comes
to what they're doing, the.

Speaker 9 (09:19):
New whistleblower complaint comes to light. It reveals a memo
released internally by Immigration and Customs Enforcement suggesting that federal
agents can rely on administrative warrants to make arrest instead
of judicial warrants, meaning a judge does not have to
sign off for agents to enter a suspect's home. The
Department of Homeland Security and as there is legal president,

(09:43):
but immigration advocates claim it's a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Is there legal precedent? Curious about this portion of it,
so you don't even have to have you just bust
into somebody's home if you think they're there illegally.

Speaker 10 (09:58):
Ice is saying, we're going to blo satanly ignore case
law from the US Supreme Court that says an independent
party must make a decision at the judiciary to issue
a warrant, and we're just going to rely on our
own warrants signed off by our own people, to bust
down a door and go into a home.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, that's not going to work for me. But like
everything else with this, all of these things end up
in the same place, don't they. Some sort of court situation.
Immigration is a battle that is not going anywhere anytime soon.
I expected to heat up more and more. I expect
there to be more pushback from both sides, and I

(10:40):
expect there to be at times probably more violence, which
is unfortunate. Once again, though addressing none of the real
issue that is happening here about how we go about
fixing the problem and how we actually work together to
fix the problem, because we can and we should. So

(11:06):
take it for what you want. It's ugly and it's
going to get uglier out there. I think the one
thing that's kind of going to be a helper in
all the protests or at least slowing down a lot
of the chaos out there, it's the fact that it's
going to be so damn cold. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three acts had been

(11:27):
to show is your ex your insta YouTube and more
coming up Epstein that ghost isn't going anywhere. We're gonna
talk a bit about that. We've got the update on
the monks, the Walk of the Monks, because it's a
good story and we need that, among other things. The
first relief factor, it's incredible. Take it every single day

(11:47):
should get them some relief factor. They need it for
that walk. Let me tell you something about Kim. Right.
Here's a woman who's bust but every single day working hard,
coming home soar just right to the couch, no time
for her family, herself, and feels like, ah, I just
can't get through it anymore. She starts taking relief Factor

(12:09):
and within weeks she feels a difference. Now she comes home,
she's got more energy, her body doesn't hurt. It is awesome.
Inflammation is the one of the big words this year
being used in the medical world, and the reason is simple,
because the inflammation side of things is what makes us
hurt so much for their everyday living. And this is
what relief Factor does. It combats that inflammation. We'll make

(12:32):
a three fatty ass It's incredible resveritral. All this stuff
will target inflammation when it comes to your joints and
your muscles. Try a three week trial bag nineteen ninety five.
Let's than a cup of coffee a day. You watch
what happens. You could be the next person talking about
how amazing relief Factor is and I'll be talking about you.
Go to relief Factor dot com. That's relief Factor dot com.

(12:53):
Or call eight hundred and four Relief eight hundred the
number four relief for relief Factor and tell them Chad
send you Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
The ghost of Epstein haunting all politicians, and I'm sure
some people in Davos have their butts puckered as well. Yesterday,
contempt for the Clintons. We all have contempt for the Clintons.

Speaker 11 (13:29):
The resolution targeting Bill Clinton passed overwhelmingly in committee thirty
four to eight, with nine Democrats voting, with Republicans descended
to the House floor. A similar measure holding Hillary Clinton
in contempt passed more narrowly, with three Democrats signing on.
Both votes are signs the full House would approve the
contempt resolutions. So far, the Clintons have refused to testify
about their former friendship, with Jeffrey Epstein blasting the inquiry

(13:52):
as partisan, insisting they have little to offer and calling
the subpoenas they've been issued legally invalid.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
What this could be partisan? Hell yeah, it's partisan for now. Again,
what goes around comes around. Let's not forget that people
are looking at this administration that pushed we're going to
solve this problem, and we're going to get everybody that's
done something horrific to kids, and we're going to drain
the swamp. And they're looking around going, yeah, it doesn't

(14:20):
feel like that. It feels like you guys are protecting
a bunch of peetos and it's hard to pretend that
they're not.

Speaker 12 (14:27):
No one's accused Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. But we
have a lot of questions.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Thank you very much, Thank you very much, mister kran
congressman right there. We've got a lot of questions for him,
would like answered. Mostly we'd let you like to embarrass him.

Speaker 13 (14:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
I've said I don't think the Clintons did anything, at
least in this situation, and the same thing I've always
said about Trump. I don't think Trump has done anything.
And they want to make sure that everybody knows that
they've talked to so many people, they've they've done nothing.

Speaker 12 (15:01):
There are a lot of questions about the numerous visits
that Epstein had to the White House when when Clinton
was president. There are newest questions about the number of
times at President Clinton flew the post presidency on Epstein's playing.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
My big thing is what did you know? And when
did you know it? What kind of relationship did you
have after you knew what he did? And yes, do
I think the Clintons and several others helped him get
a big, fat deals on his crimes originally one, But
it wasn't just the Clintons. There's a lot more that

(15:36):
goes into this, and they're going to spin it going
forward three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three at Chad Benson Show is your actual insta, YouTube,
Facebook and more love hearing from every one of you
right here on the Chad Benson Show that it's all
about national security. Well, if it's national security, that means
that we probably had an understanding of what was going on.

(15:59):
You don't get a fat deal as he did without
an understanding from other people that this person's important. Six
months house arrest for God's sakes, originally insane. We move
from one side of insane and we're going to talk
more about that later to another one. The loonies take

(16:20):
to the interwebs, and it does make me laugh. This
is a lady who is going to tell all the
maga folks about what's going to happen if there's a
civil war?

Speaker 8 (16:28):
Oh, maga, don't you understand if we have another civil war,
all the Blue states will control all the fresh water.
You guys don't think they're through, do you?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
First of all, can we just stop with the civil
war talk? How many times do I have to tell
you guys? People won't get off the couch for a
lot of stuff. So unless it's an app, probably not
gonna happen. Okay, okay. Secondly, and this is very important,
if that's the gaming to play with the maga folks,
the mega folks would probably like to remind you that

(17:04):
they're the ones who have all the guns. So unless
you have X men like power and how you control
the water, you're probably gonna want to rethink that one.
Maybe you don't think all of it through, is what
I'm trying to tell you. Ah, a little crazy doesn't
hurt anybody, does it? Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four twenty three At Chad Benson Show, is your ex,

(17:25):
your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and more? A lot
of stuff still to get to, including our Monk March
watch as we are updating you every day now on
where the monks are and how they're doing on their
walk to DC Chad Benson.

Speaker 14 (17:39):
Joe then Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
The massive storm is approaching.

Speaker 14 (18:06):
The bomb.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
It's not a cyclone bombs that's different. This is an
ice ice bomb. Is that what we call it? Blast?
Arctic blast? I think that would be the best way
to describe this. It's gonna be massive. I was yesterday
somebody was like, it's we were talking about being able
to walk in cities and stuff, and you know, we
were talking about like how cold it is in Chicago

(18:29):
and a few of these other places, and and you know,
especially throughout the Upper Midwest. And this person's like, I
live in Green Bay, and uh, you know, you walk everywhere.
I say, it's gonna be minus eighteen tomorrow. You're not
walking anywhere. You're not. You're not. But it's it's this
is a massive storm. So be prepared everybody. We want you,

(18:51):
guys when to give you tips and tricks to make
sure that you are safe this frozen season.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
The system, fueled by golf moisture from the south and
supercharged by some of the coldest air of the season,
will stretch some two thousand miles. It will bring feet
of snow and ice to millions. Airlines already waving rebooking fees,
anticipating chaos at the airports Dallas, bracing for days of
bitter cold, this massive system coming on the heels of

(19:18):
a fast moving clipper that brought snow squalls to western Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
I worry. The snow is one thing, and yes that
can be a pain in the butt. It's easier to
drive in snow though, in the frozen ice that I
think a lot of us are going to see after.
So just keep it here. We're going to keep you,
you know, aware of everything, the tips, the trips, everything
that we can do for you to show you how
to protect your house from getting frozed. My wife, by

(19:45):
the way you're talking, she's very excited for all the stuff.
The kids are excited because there's gonna be some snow
and they want to go build stuff. They're super excited
about that. But my wife is she's ready. Like I think,
if we don't and have power outages, she's gonna be
disappointed because she's got the little generator. She's got everything

(20:08):
that she could get in front of. Right. All of
our clothes have been washed, like everything, the the the
house is ready. We live in apartment. I'm not worried
about there's generators. But nope, she got that backup stove.
I mean, we go on and on. She even got
these the water things to get back up water just

(20:31):
in case. Oh and she got a giant, huge bag
of rice. And I'm like, what do you think is
gonna happen. It's like a couple of days of snow
and then like a cold snap for like twenty four hours,
just in case, just in case. Well, I think she's
gonna be bummed. I think she can bump if it
doesn't happen. But there are some other things you can

(20:51):
do right for your house to be prepared for this
and then afterwards as well. This is the new thing
happening in America. We fallow the trends here, we get
ahead of stuff. Are you ready to burp your home?

Speaker 15 (21:04):
While frigid temperatures have millions avoiding the outdoors these days,
some folks are welcoming the cold into their homes.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Just get some fresh air in there.

Speaker 8 (21:16):
Do thank me big.

Speaker 15 (21:17):
It's part of a growing trend inspired by the age
Old German practice known as luften, meaning to air out
by briefly opening the windows and letting the fresh air in.
In the US, it's picking up steam under a quirky
equip how spurping. This is a reminder that even though
it's freezing, you need.

Speaker 16 (21:35):
To burp your house.

Speaker 15 (21:36):
But no matter the name, indoor air quality pro Tonia
Body says it has real benefits, including preventing mold contaminants
and carbon dioxide build up.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
You bring in some more air from the outside.

Speaker 11 (21:49):
You to loot those concentrations, and you reduce.

Speaker 15 (21:52):
Them, which he says is especially important for Americans, who
spend about ninety percent of their time indoors. According to the.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's time to burp your home. We're getting you guys.
Ready for the chaos, the craziness, the lunacy that is
coming with the giant deep freeze. Burpen the home. Get ready?
Are you ready to burp it? To do it right?

Speaker 15 (22:17):
In Germany, the Washington Post reports many apartment leases contain
a Looften clause requiring tenants to open their windows multiple
times a day. Raised by German parents in New York,
Lucy Raschnaebel has been doing this her whole life.

Speaker 11 (22:32):
Every single morning.

Speaker 17 (22:33):
I need to smell the fresh air and let it
into my room, because otherwise I'll just feel so stuffy.

Speaker 15 (22:38):
A post on her morning ritual, garnering hundreds of thousands
of views on TikTok.

Speaker 17 (22:43):
My parents thought it was hilarious that a trend like
that is trending, Like it's just something that's so integrated
in the German lifestyle and so normalized.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yes, it is for a real reason. It's good not
only for the house. It's good for you, by the way.
It's good for you. Get that fresh air in there.
That's good. It's good for the soul feel that fresh air,
So that must be it's good for your house. Yeah, sticky,

(23:15):
it's nasty. I like it when my windows are open,
especially in the cold, I can cover up more. We
always talk about the heat and the cold at some
point in time, like I can cover myself up with
enough blankets that I can make myself hot no matter
what you're going through cold wise, because we don't live
in the antarct. But the heat you can't. There's only
so much clothes you could take off. Eventually, you can't

(23:37):
take off your skin to get cool. So that and
that's why we've done stories about how children in places
like Scandinavia or what they're left outside. So in Scandinavia
during this this cold snap that we're gonna get here,
they would bundle their kids up and put them outside

(24:01):
and let them sleep in the cold, in the snow
overnight because it's good for them their immune system. Oh
my goodness.

Speaker 15 (24:10):
Now it's not an airtight solution. One study suggests Germany's
ventilation practices can undermine energy efficiency, and with home electricity
costs of the US at their highest in a decade,
the body says the key is ten minutes.

Speaker 14 (24:25):
No more than that is really necessary.

Speaker 15 (24:28):
A quick and simple way to give yourself and your
space a little breathing room.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
I like how they went straight to the energy efficiency.
Right to that goes it's the energy efficiency, Chad. You
don't even understand. We're burning. We're burning the greenhouse stuff.
It's happening, and the planet's gonna get a ninety nine
percent of people who are apparently people that are doctors
insidedists say global warming has happen, and if you're gonna

(24:56):
let air in there, then you're gonna want to heat.
It's gonna be it's everybody's gonna get glows, bele warmed
climate insanity. I'm telling you that was the big thing
at the DeVos thing. But we just want you guys
to know that you can burp your home. If you're
feeling the need, feel free to burp your home. Get
some of that fresh air in there. It is good
for your home. It's also good for you and your soul.
But what about the climate ninety nine percent? Do you

(25:18):
guys remember the ninety nine percent? Do you guys remember that?
Whenever you hear anybody talk about climate what I always say,
it's ninety nine percent? Ninety nine percent? What ninety nine
percent of scientists, a doctors at people log white jackets
say it's That was the most flawed questionnaire. I think
it might be the best way to describe that.

Speaker 14 (25:37):
So what's the.

Speaker 18 (25:37):
Deal with the ninety seven percent of scientists agree on
climate change? This gets repeated a lot, and it's basically
a way to shut down healthy debate about the impacts
of climate change. But what most people don't understand is
that this famous ninety seven percent consensus comes from a
single paper led by John Cook. And this paper had
a lot of issues because it didn't survey scientists. It

(25:58):
didn't ask experts what they've believe it had. Climate activist
researchers read paper abstracts and then decide whether they count
it as agreeing with the consensus.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Wait, what, that's not what I heard. It's ninety seven percent,
I said ninety nine. For that, I apologize, and.

Speaker 18 (26:14):
Agreeing could literally mean do humans have influence on the
climate at all? So not by how much we have
an influence, not whether it's dangerous, not whether it's catastrophic,
but just like, do we have some influence?

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I will tell you this. I've always say this. Of
course we do, and we shouldn't crap where we eat,
and we need to find more efficient and better ways
to do things. A it's better for us the consumer,
that's always a good thing if you want to go
at that direction, and it's good for the environment and
for the place that we live. We need to take
care of it. So of course we're going to have
some influence. Dr but to the catastrophic the world's coming

(26:49):
to an end. Everybody batting down the hatches. It's over
come on.

Speaker 18 (26:54):
So if a paper just said CO two is a
greenhouse cast, you were accounted as part of this ninety
seven percent so even scientists who argued warming will be
small or manageable were included in this consensus, and that
was completely lost in the way that this ninety seven
percent number spread. Even back in twenty thirteen, President Obama
famously tweeted this tweet, which was very misleading about what

(27:15):
that paper even stood for, because the paper didn't even
ask if climate was dangerous or that we were causing it,
just is there some impact. So again, this paper said
nothing about how catastrophic would be, not how much warming
were causing, and nothing about the proposed solutions and if
they would be good. But it's now spread around the internet.
It's become common knowledge, and it's shut down a lot

(27:35):
of healthy debate on climate change.

Speaker 11 (27:37):
And today it needs.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
To end, Amen, because we need a healthy debate. But
the thing is, take the lie, take the half truth,
turn it into something that you went an argument for,
shut down the conversation and never solve the problem. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

Speaker 1 (29:14):
I like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
One of the things we're gonna be doing for a
while now is we're gonna be updating you daily on
where the monks are. The monks that are walking for Peace.
I think it's a good story. I think it's something
we need, and I'm heartened by the fact that they
started their walking for or Texas. They're going to DC

(29:44):
to raise awareness of peace, loving kindness, compassion across America
in the world. I love that. And what I also
love is the fact that they're walking through places where
you would think probably not a lot of people are
cruising out to see the Buddhist monks, and yet there
are thousands of people that are showing up to see them.

(30:04):
So let's find out what's going on with the monks.
It's our Monk March watch. That's hard to say.

Speaker 19 (30:15):
As quickly as you can snack the pebble from my hand,
when you could take the pebble from my hand, it
would be time for you to be.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Now it's time for your daily Monk March update.

Speaker 19 (30:26):
Time for you to leave.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
All right. So last night they were in Siler City.
Today they're heading to Pittsburgh in North Carolina. They're going
to US sixty four Highway. Step by step, they keep saying.
They're doing this. So they're gonna have a lunch stop
where they're not gonna have visiting hours. Just want to

(30:48):
let everybody know that. But then they're gonna overnight rest
in Chatham County Agricultural Industrial Fair Association grounds, and they
want everybody to come by if you have a chance
to see them. And if you're wondering what kind of
monks they are, well, this is a doctor of anthropology
talking about what kind of monks they are, why they're
doing this.

Speaker 20 (31:08):
They're typically three branches of Buddhist traditions. These are called
Terravada Buddhists, and walking goes all the way back. It's
probably the Buddha himself, at least in the earliest traditions
of Buddhism that we have from the archaeological and textual evidence.
So these monks are walking, you know, from one place

(31:31):
to another, especially in times in which.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 20 (31:37):
Issues, whether it's war or famine or anger. Of course,
they're kind of like a lighthouse. So when they're walking
in this way in front of people that are not
monastic or not even Buddhists, they are giving off this
energy of a lighthouse saying, you know, we have a
sort of spiritual energy.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
It the amount of people are showing up and seeing
them now, when we first started to come, there's nineteen
of them. Sixteen of them are walking without shoes originally,
but they're as we are talking about, heading towards areas
where the giant Arctic snowblast is coming. People are asking questions,
how are they doing when it comes to their bodies?

(32:23):
Obviously that's a big deal as well as you know,
not just their mind, but you know, the body itself
is one thing. The knees all that I said, what
about them feets? What about them feets? Now they have
a PA physician assistant that is falling along with them.

Speaker 21 (32:36):
You can tell that it definitely taking a toe on
the feed. Not only the feed, but you know all
the dawns, you know, from their angles, to their knees
to the head.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's it is incredible to see people to show up.
This is one of the stories. It was heartening yesterday.
So a mom and her child out there and reminded
me a lot of my little brother Spencer, who if
you guys know, if you listen to the show we've
talked about for years, he's you know, brain damage, trake
g tube seizures, tons of them. This lady's daughter is

(33:06):
suffering the same.

Speaker 22 (33:07):
She currently has about two hundred seizures a day. So
we are working towards getting her medicine right and just
praying that we get a miracle.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Monks gave her a little blessing, but they also gave
her a bracelet and she was thrilled by that. But
a lot of this, you know, it's not just about
this kind of thing, you know, where it's like it's
a miracle. They just wanted to come out because it's
goodwill right at a time when earlier we're talking about
some lunatics like, ah, before you have a civil war, Maga,
you guys are stupid because we control the water, and

(33:42):
you're like, really, your nut job, Really, how about we
realize that we're a lot closer together outside of the
extremes which have too much influence on stuff, then further apart.

Speaker 8 (33:54):
It meant a lot to me the first time I
heard them speak, so I needed it again.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
This is very very important.

Speaker 23 (34:01):
They're spreading peace, lovelight, harmony, all that good stuff. Look
at all these beautiful people, and we need that in
this world.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
I think it's amazing. I'm from Chapel Hills.

Speaker 7 (34:09):
I've been following them since they started walking in October,
and me personally, I think it is so beautiful what
they're doing right now, and I love that it has
truly brought so many people out just to enjoy this moment.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Indeed, now again today heading to Pittsburgh, North Carolina, they're
on their way to Raleigh, and let's take a look
at the temperature. Just want to get a quick snapshot
of what they're headed to today because the weather again
outside is frightful in a lot of places. It is
going to be okay today, fifty seven today, but as

(34:44):
they start to head further into their walk, you're going
to start to see the snow and that Arctic blast
come through. So we'll be keeping an eye out from
And yes, they do have a loyal dog, a Looca,
who joined them after they left Fort Worth, and they
call them a think the dog of peace, that's what
it means. He is recovering. He had some injuries, but
he is with them always in the vans that are

(35:06):
following them. It's kind of like the Tour de France,
as one person said, it's kind of what it looks like.
So we'll be updating you on this because it's good
to know. Sometimes we do stories and you never hear
about it, And again we're gonna update you because I
think this is a story we need as they head
to DC to to talk about peace and to deliver
a message of which then I'm sure Trump will have
them deport it. I'm kidding or am I? Three two three, five,

(35:29):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three? Atch had meant
to show Ture Extu insta, YouTube, Facebook and more. Right
here on the Chad Benson Chill coming up our number
two of the program. As we talk about their walk,
they're heading towards some cool, freezing weather. One hundred and
eighty million people are gonna be in the path of
this beast. We're gonna talk about that. It is a

(35:51):
arctic blast of bomb snow apocalypse headed a lot of
people's way. We're gonna talk about that, more about the
Greenland deal, and I mean, you know what it looks like
I don't think anybody does. We can talk a little
bit more about that. Plus an update from Uvalde trial
of Adrian Gonzalez, one of the officers, the first officer
that was there. They've got a verdict. We'll talk about

(36:13):
that as well. Reach out to us across all of
our social media right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Before we get to the frozen land of Greenland and
all the other stuff going on in Davos. You know,
normally I vacation in the winter and stad that being said,
it's gonna be cold. Be prepared, one hundred and eighty
plus million people under a Holy Mother of God, it's

(37:12):
gonna be cold warning. I think that was a pretty
good warning. So we like to make sure that you
guys understand all the things that are going on. We
make sure that you understand everything. That's why we take
care of you the way that we do. Now it's
time for the Chad Action News weather reports. When weather

(37:33):
weather's we weather the storm. Weathering the storm is what
we're gonna have to be doing. So bat down the hatches,
get ready for it. Take out your long John's. It's
gonna be cold.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
The system, fueled by gulf moisture from the south and
supercharged by some of the coldest air of the season,
will stretch some two thousand miles. It will bring feet
of snow and ice to millions. Airlines already waving rebooking
fees anticipating chaos at the airports Dallas bracing for day
is a bitter cold, this massive system coming on the

(38:02):
heels of a fast moving clipper that brought snow squalls
to western Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah, so where's are going to hit everywhere in a
lot of ways, especially throughout the South, which you know
right the Carolinas, Texas, tennessee, all these wings. They are
not prepared. We are not prepared. This is not something
we get this snap like this. Yes, it gets cold

(38:30):
once or twice, but let us remind you that the
grids across the board aren't always the best and they fail.
On top of that, there's a lot of stuff that
you need to do to take care of your home.
That's why we're here on the Chad Bension Show. We
want to protect you from the chaos and the craziness

(38:51):
it is. We want you guys to understand what's happening
out there, especially for parts of the country that aren't
used to the froze. That's okay, Ted Cruz are going
to you. I know you're in California, but you're gonna
get back right, fantastic. Okay, that's awesome. That is awesome, awesome,
Good for you, Good for you. But your house, let's

(39:12):
take care of it.

Speaker 24 (39:13):
So this is a good reminder for people who haven't
had to think about this in a year, a great
lesson for people who may have moved to Texas have
never had to deal with this because our homes weren't
built for the cold. So let's get dealing with this
because we have to deal with this ourselves. The plumbing first,
it comes in from the outside exposed pipes. We don't

(39:33):
want that water to freeze. Shouldn't have to turn the
water off with this, but we don't want these pipes exposed.
There are pads designed to insulate those pipes, but if
you don't have one of these, maybe a packing banquet,
blanket and some duct tape can do the trick.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, be prepared for this because the cost if everything
goes sideways is tremendous. Right, So we're getting everything ready
for this, so be ready. So go if you have
to go to the stores, say get some of those
things to protect your ham.

Speaker 24 (40:07):
Another great thing that I love is get some mulch
from the big box store there and stack that up
against the pipes, several bags of that. It does a
great job insulating the pipes from the wind and the cold.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Okay, you can do that as well, the mulch. Get mulching, now, Chad,
are you what you're saying? Uh? You know, I, as
I've talked about last hour, my wife's gonna be bombed.
We live in an apartment, and she's gonna be super
bummed if not everything freezes and turns off because she's
prepared for this. It's almost to the point where I'm
thinking she's I'm like, are you preparing for this kind
of moment? Are you preparing for a moment that we're

(40:43):
not sure about? Because you seem to get ready for armagedin?
But let's just say you have a house, right, Chad,
what you're talking about is smart, right, it's understandable, right,
But you live in a you got an apartment, Yeah,
I live in a house. Like, what about the outside
kind of thing. Right, what about those things? How do
I protect myself from the How do I do that? Huh?

(41:09):
All right, let's start with sprinklers next.

Speaker 24 (41:11):
If you have a sprinkler system, turn that off and
bleed the backflow preventter.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Here.

Speaker 24 (41:19):
I'm not going to go through the details.

Speaker 20 (41:22):
Here.

Speaker 24 (41:22):
You just need a flathead screwdriver. Here, go to Google,
whatever search engine you need. It's very, very simple. You
just don't want this thing freezing because that makes a mess.
It's expensive and you don't want that, and it's easy
to avoid that.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Okay, so you got that. Okay, what else can we
think of? Again? I'm trying to do this and help
everybody because that's what I'm a helper. Okay, I'm a helper.
That's what I'm trying to do. So heat miser not
shown up. Snow miser is. Oh what about the outdoors?
What about plants? Uh? What are those?

Speaker 19 (41:59):
Next?

Speaker 24 (41:59):
Are the plants outside? We get a lot of plants
that hate the extreme cold temperature. You can cover those two.
Take a look.

Speaker 25 (42:07):
Every plant is different, but once you get down below
the freezing level, I recommend if you're fond of it,
protecting it and if in the past it has suffered
damage from cold weather. Protect it better be safe than sorry.
Cover it. Cover it with either a frost cloth like
this or a blanket. Things you want to avoid are plastic,

(42:31):
which you might think would insulate better, but that plastic,
if it's touching the plant and it's freezing outside or
below freezing, that can actually exacerbate any damage that that
plant might suffer. You want to anchor those covers, whether
it's through pins like this or rocks or blocks. You

(42:51):
want to anchor that so it doesn't blow, so wind
doesn't get under it. But you really want the blanket
to cover the plant and.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
The there you go. We're helping you out here. It's
what we do.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
We care.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
We want to help you guys out and most importantly,
guys all kidding aside, Be safe, don't be silly. I'm
in the midst of it as well. My kids are excited.
They're gonna be bumped us. There's not a lot of snow.
But the other thing, and this is very important if
you're in Dallas right or Detroit right, because we're blessed.
I'm all over the country with my show. There's a neighbor,

(43:29):
there's an elderly person, there's somebody that may need help,
it's a simple thing. Go over and check on them,
make sure they've got everything. And if they don't, or
you're worried that maybe they're not in the right state
of mind, or maybe you're worried they're on a fixed
income and you think that they're not really gonna warm
them up as simple if you got the room, bring

(43:50):
them home. And there's a lot of warming centers across
the country, you gonna be set up because a lot
of these states we're not set up for it. And
cold kills fast and more than heat by about seven
to ten times. So just throwing out there and the
serious side of stuff. Right for me and my plants,
I built them all a little park is for each leaf.

(44:10):
So it's been taking a while. I've been doing it
for quite a long time, but a very crafty So
that's really all you need to know about that one. Meanwhile,
speaking of cold, we got Greenland. Did you guys hear
we've got green It's finally we've got it. We own
it now, it's it's no, we don't own it. No,
but I heard I heard. Oh, it's just a meeting

(44:31):
that there's going to be more meetings that we've got
everything worked out, So we don't actually own the greenland.
We just have a meeting set up to say that
we have a meeting for more meetings and that. So
that's that's that's that's what happened there. So there's that.
I mean, right, like that's good, Right like, that's good.

Speaker 14 (44:53):
Cooler heads prevailed.

Speaker 26 (44:55):
While President Trump landed in Davos with this very aggressive
rhetoric of potential military force and tariffs, within a few
hours he reversed course. I give credit here in part
to NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta, and it was apparently
in a meeting with Ruta, this cooperative compromise arrangement was

(45:18):
at least outlined.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
So what does that mean? I could not tell you
exactly what it means, because, like everything, it's short on specifics.
Right long on. We got it done. Braggadociousness. It's the
greatest greenlands ours. Maybe Iceland, I don't know, could happen.

(45:44):
You don't know. Iceland is a good place. It's a
good place for everybody. The well, we've got some sort
of working agreement that was always good at happen, and
we've talked about this at nauseum right with this, This
is they are not going to be Americans. They're not

(46:05):
giving up their sovereignty. They're still going to be under
the Danes even though they're independent, they're they're kind of
like Puerto Rico. So you know, there you go. I mean,
I I figured this. My question has always been why
always the stick rather than the carrot? Why the braggadoses?

(46:28):
Who's that for? Right?

Speaker 17 (46:31):
Like?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
That was always my like, like why why that? That?
To me didn't need to happen. And one of the
things it did, and I was watching John Curricau, who's
a former CIA agent that does geopolitical stuff. Now he
was talking about, you know, Trump's threats, the things that
he said, things that he did. Normally that works, but

(46:53):
in this case, the Europeans don't don't seem to be
thrilled by all this. So it is going to be
interesting to see what happens and when we get out
of it, which is everything we probably would have got
out of it. Howd we just said, hey, look guys,
we need to protect us a little bit better. It's
for our well being, it's for everybody's well being. Let

(47:13):
us get you know, let us get to this and
be more of a deterrent in this situation and go
from there. It'll be great for you, guys, it'll be
great for us. Could be a win win. How do
we put that together? No, it doesn't work that way, Chad.
You have to be very forceful. If I've taught you nothing,

(47:38):
it's be forceful and take everything you want and then
at the end of the day, get everything that you
are going to get anyways without taking everything you thought
you were wanting. That makes sense. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Jed Benson
Chow it's your extuer insta YouTube and more love hearing
from all of you talking about Prize Picks. It is incredible.

(48:01):
Prize Picks. First of all, it's America's number one fantasy
sports app. If you understand in fantasy sports, you're picking players,
not teams. You're picking more or less based on their
projected stats. That's how that works. When you play your
first five dollars lineup, you're gonna get fifty dollars in
lineups immediately win or lose guaranteed with prize picks. With

(48:26):
price picks, you get amazing things like the opportunity to
cash out early. You can win two thousand times your money.
They've got stacks, they've got injury reboots, and so much more.
That's what I love about Prize Picks. It is America's
number one fantasy sports app. Take advantage of what they
got going on. Right now, We've still got some football left.

(48:46):
So what do you do? Go download the Prize Picks
app right now. Use my coach. You had to get
fifty dollars in lineups immediately into you account. When you play,
you first five dollars lineup, win or lose Prize Picks.
It's good to be right, all right? Coming up Evaldi,
Adrian Gonzalez, first officer there. His trial is over, the

(49:07):
jury has spoken. We'll talk about the verdict there. Plus
the hell's going on in Australia If you guys haven't heard,
there's been a massive amount of shark attacks in a
short period of time. Are the animals starting to rise up?
We'll talk about that. We get your urban word of
the day as well. Reach Out does across all of

(49:28):
our social media at Chapman's show, your acts, your ins there,
your YouTube and more. This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
It was a horrific day. Everybody I think remembers that Uvaldi,
the horrors that took place that day. Well, the first
trial is officially over with Adrian Gonzalez, the first officer
on the scene, was on trial and was found not guilty.

Speaker 27 (50:07):
As soon as that not guilty was read, you saw
him put his head down. He looked visibly emotional, and
you saw that emotion continuing as people came up and
began to hug him, and he stood.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
And this is the end.

Speaker 27 (50:20):
After two weeks of testimony from survivors, from fellow law
enforcement who were on the scene with him, this jury
coming back after more than seven hours, or about seven
hours of deliberation, just over seven hours, saying not guilty
on all twenty nine counts of child endangerment.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Now he faced fifty eight years in prison and massive
fine if he was convicted. We remember seventy seven minutes
that thing took the horrors of that day, Nineteen children
were killed, and that's what he faced the children. There
were two teachers were killed as well, but this was
only about child in danger. Surements that he was tried upon.

Speaker 28 (51:04):
Afterwards, I want to start by thanking God for this.
My family, my wife, and these guys are here. He
put them in my path, you know, and I'm just
thankful for that, and thank you for the jury for
considering all the evidence and making that word.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
It maybe fairly quickly too, by the way, the jury,
this is his attorney, Jason Goss.

Speaker 29 (51:27):
Afterwards, the evidence showed that not only did he not fail,
but he put himself in great danger the prosecutor's charge,
and that he failed in some way to try to
do everything he could to help these children. And the
evidence showed that that wasn't true.

Speaker 30 (51:42):
The true monster in the situation was lost, and then
it was all directed at Adrian.

Speaker 19 (51:47):
And so that was an uphill battle from day one.

Speaker 29 (51:50):
As the facts come out and we see what Adrian
actually was doing and what he was putting his life
at risk to try to help those children.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
And I'm not sure everybody buys that this is the
uncle of one of the victims. You can hear his
frustration and anger.

Speaker 31 (52:05):
The juryman found him as innocent, but in the court
of public opinion, he is a coward and an absolute
one hundred percent failure on that day. Don't go back
to home to you Aldi ti Valdi County of portrayed
that you're somebody that you're not.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show. Sure extra instant YouTube in war.
Right here on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 31 (52:26):
Mind you, there's nineteen children that are buried at Laudi Cemetery.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
He's right, but being a coward or incompetent or whatever
they thought happened doesn't make him guilty of endangerment or
abandoning kids. And they've already ruled on this. It's a
Supreme Court, so I'm not really surprised by this. Let
me know what you think. We moved from one trial
to another, Scotus hearing several cases, and we're waiting for

(52:51):
the tariff potential decision to come down any day now.
I think this is a possibility. But yesterday one of
the big things they were listening to was the Lisa
Cook firing. She was part of the board at the
FED and Trump didn't like her and decided, no, we

(53:11):
got to get rid of her, but we need to.
You can fire with cause, but we need the cause.
What's the cause?

Speaker 14 (53:19):
Right?

Speaker 8 (53:19):
Like?

Speaker 2 (53:19):
The cause is what something about mortgage?

Speaker 32 (53:22):
The President claimed without proof that she had committed mortgage fraud,
and we heard the Justice is skeptical of that, wondering
if she's had due process here. One point, Justice Brett
Kavanaugh questioned whether she'd gone through the due process, and
Justice Samuel Alito said, are there even mortgage applications in
the record here as they're going through this?

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Yeah, that wasn't. It wasn't a good look. It wasn't.
And we recognize what's going on. I mean, you know,
this has been a bit of a nightmare on several
occasions for Trump and some of the stuff that he's done,
in particular pamp Bondie in the Department of Justice. So
not only were they skeptical about that, but Alito said, hey,

(54:01):
just remember, guys, what goes around comes around, So watch
out because what happened to them may happen to your appointee.
Next three, two, three, five, twenty four, twenty three Act
Chad Benson Show, True Acture inst YouTube and North Chad
Benson Show, Fun Chad Benson Show, The.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 33 (54:41):
You know, as we talk about the cold and the
freeze and all of the things, Dean Anda, it is
summertime summertime means beach.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Beach means water. Water means you may run into nature
and as we all know, nature can mess you up.

Speaker 24 (54:58):
Now there's been another shock attack in New South Wales,
the fourth attack in three days.

Speaker 34 (55:04):
Karen, We've just received this breaking news from the Mid
North Coast. A surfer in the Mid North Coast has
been bitten by what is believed to be a bull shark.
That's near Late mcquarie in Newport mcquarie rather in New
South Wales. Now it's believed he's been trans transferred to hospital,
but a large chunk of his surfboard has been bitten.

(55:27):
Breaking news just in from the Mid North Coast Papers.
That's the fourth shark attack in just three days. The
third happened here at Manly Beach last night when a
twenty seven year old man from Wollongong was bitten in
the calf. He suffered severe injuries and he underwent surgery
in hospital last night.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
So four attacks, ball being one of them, and the
others are not quite sure, probably a ball and some
great whites. The youngster who was bit, they are telling
the family everybody to prepare for the worst because does
look like he's going to make it and some of

(56:08):
these were caught on tape as well. But we're talking
in the same area essentially attacks. What the hell is
going on Australia. I saw this. Experts like what would
you do to avoid a shark attack? He's like, well,
you know what I would do first is knock on
the water. Oh yeah, there's that.

Speaker 34 (56:28):
It was just past six pm here at Manley. There
were only three people in the water when he was
attacked by a shark. Now, two surfers who were not
known to him saw what happened. They swam up towards
him and helped him paddle back to shore. We spoke
to a witness who was one of the first responders.

Speaker 9 (56:45):
At the scene.

Speaker 34 (56:46):
He ran to his car and grabbed a leg rope
and there he applied pressure onto his wound.

Speaker 35 (56:52):
I applied the leg rape as a tornoquet on his leg.
MAXI got down and made sure he stayed awake and
Mike he was on the phone. He was conscious when
he got to the shore, but when he went when
they picked him up, he passed out.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Yeah, but I mean he fought the whole way in.

Speaker 35 (57:10):
The two surfers that picked him up at what absolute heroes.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Yeah they were, because they went out and they they
headed to the shark. I mean that's it. Look all
for all the chaos and craziness. Look, sharks, they don't
know what they're doing. And one thing you don't do
is you don't swim after big storms. You don't swim
right before the sun comes up and right before the

(57:35):
sun goes down because the water isn't clear enough that'll
impede their vision. Basically, just don't swim is what I'm saying. Okay,
just don't swim. That's not fair. It chat, it's hot,
I want to get in the way. I understand that.
I understand that. Remember it's Australia too, so there's a

(57:56):
lot of danger there. Normally we joke about the day,
but this is, I mean, this has got their entire
nation shook up because shark attacks happen. They don't have hands, right, so,
got no hands, got no fingers, got no thumbs, got nothing,
no arms. Well how do I do it? A test

(58:17):
test with a taste, and that's not good.

Speaker 34 (58:21):
Was three shark attacks in two days, and now it's
four shark attacks in three days. The first happened on
Sunday in Vall clues when a twelve year old boy
was bitten by a shark jumping off a rock at
Shark Beach. He remains in hospital in a critical condition.
Yesterday at d Y, just up the coast from here,
an eleven year old was out in the water when

(58:42):
a large chunk of his surfboard was bitten last night.

Speaker 9 (58:45):
This here at Manly Beach.

Speaker 34 (58:47):
Now, former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has called up for
the government to bring back commercial fishing. He wrote in
a statement these shark attack three shark attacks in three
days in Sydney. This didn't happen because of the weather
or time of day, but because there are too many sharks.
It's way past time to reintroduce the shark fishery.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
No bring back the nuts. Also, I'm gonna throw something
out there to you. I would expect that if you
jump into a place where they call it Shark Beach,
that they don't call that because of the irony, probably
because of the sharks at the beach. That's what I'm saying,

(59:34):
Just putting that out there. You guys fill that one
in there. Okay, it's just crazy. So they've shut it down.
They're thinking about how do they go about doing this.
And you know, with all of the stuff that we
have now technology wise, and we have so much of it,
the we now understand how close we are with nature

(59:56):
in a position, especially at the beach, where you're in
the water, in that position, how vulnerable you are. First
of all, you're just a you know, goofy gangling, can't
swim for nothing, critter, right, and they're the apex predator.
So what happens is for years, we still do I mean,

(01:00:19):
the chance you get bit are still minutes. But we
now know because of all of the technology i e.
The drones, how absolutely close they are to us. I mean,
I always thought that I served a lot when I
was a kid. I always thought they're out here. You know,
they've probably appeared at us before. But now you can

(01:00:42):
see how close they are. And people that are kayaking,
and people that are that are windsurfing, and people that
are just sitting on their boards you can see from
the top that they're right there. You don't know they're there,
but they do. So hey is nature rising up? It's possible.

(01:01:03):
And also this is a horrible thing too, about the
shark attack, all that going on and another attack in Australia.
This one had nothing to do with a shark.

Speaker 36 (01:01:15):
I understand sharks aren't the only Australian predators that are
causing concern this week.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Yeah, that's right, okay, And a bizarre twist.

Speaker 30 (01:01:21):
Investigators there are also looking into a case of dingos
that may be responsible for the death of one nineteen
year old Canadian woman. Now it's too early to know
whether she drowned, but all they really know at this
point is that she's nineteen. She was found near a
popular area there in Australia as well, and they did,
at least investigators did note that it appeared that she
did have bites from some of these dingos there. They

(01:01:41):
should have some results as early as tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
And it looks like as of now she was attacked
potentially by the dingoes as they've gone through it, and
they fear now that there are too many dingos. So
now they're talking about calling the dingoes or killing, you know, know,
thinning the herd of the dingos. So the sharks and
the dingos, it's Australia. We've been telling you guys that
for years, right have we not? Have we not been

(01:02:08):
telling Australians for years about how bad it is. Right,
we hear stories. Nobody's laughing. Hey, come for the sun
and the adventure, stay for the death. It's not very nice, Jed.
It's horrible. I mean it's beautiful. I keep saying, Oh,
I should go to Australia. Take the family to Australia.

(01:02:28):
It's not the right now. The the the critters aren't
the thing I worry about in Australia taking them there.
My fear is the eighteen hour flight with my kids.
That's the It's a bigger fear, especially my seven year
old three two three five, twenty four, twenty three. At
Chet Benson Show. Is your extra Insta, your YouTube, Facebook,

(01:02:49):
all the other good stuff. Speaking of danger, remind everybody
it's happening, lots of stuff. When it comes to the weather,
we're going watching it for the next couple days. Want
to make sure you guys are all good, wrapped up tight,
neat protected.

Speaker 36 (01:03:04):
A lot of Pacific and golf moisture meeting up with
that serious Arctic that's coming far south.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
So ice in the middle, right, Dallas.

Speaker 36 (01:03:11):
Over a north of Little Rock, over to Nashville, Raleigh,
Virginia Beach, even into Delaware is going to ride along
and depend very heavily on where that little pressure system
sets up. So that's why you're seeing changes in the forecast,
because as we get closer, it's going to be a
very very narrow line that ends up with the worst
of that icing.

Speaker 14 (01:03:28):
Oo.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Now it's getting dangerous. But also let's not forget that
we're getting ahead of it across the nation. Emergencies already
in effect. That means start checking your schools too, because
you know a lot of schools are going to be
closed snow day.

Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
The system will stretch some two thousand miles from the
south to the northeast, potentially bringing dangerous ice and feet
of snow to millions over the weekend. Emergencies already declared
in the Carolinas, forecasters there warning this could be one
of the most historic eye storms in modern history, with
the potential for twelve straight hours of freezing rain, that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Cold, nasty rain that brings that black ice. Stay indoors.
Just tell your boss you're not coming in Monday. Just
tell them. Now you've got permission. You got permission, tell
your boss. So we'll keep you abreast of everything, because
you know what, that's what we do here. We make sure.
I got backup generators, I got stuff. Even though it's

(01:04:30):
going to be smashing into us, I'm gonna take care
of it so we are protected. That's what I do. Kids.
From one ICE to the other, protests continue.

Speaker 11 (01:04:39):
Vice President JD.

Speaker 37 (01:04:40):
Vance arriving later today here in Minneapolis to meet with
ICE agents to quote reinforce the White House's on wavering
support for federal immigration officials. This just two weeks after
an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
So he's going there to reinforce that. There's already more
controversy about is there a rule in place where you
need no warrant to go into any facility. I guess
as long as somebody at DHS signs, I mean it's

(01:05:14):
a whistleblowers come out with this, and I'm a little confused.

Speaker 37 (01:05:16):
We saw pretty chaotic protests yesterday here protesters blowing whistles
at federal agents officers, including Commander at Large Greg Bavino,
responding back throwing smoke canisters.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
At the crowd.

Speaker 37 (01:05:27):
This as a newly obtained memo from May shows that
ICE agents could enter a suspected person's home without a
judicial warn instead given administrative authorization.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Now they say they're doing everything correct. It's back and forth.
We'll see what happens. Lawsuits abound again. It is not
a good look. The does look great for the White House.
The battles don't look good. I'll continue to say this
over and over again. You can tell me all you
want that these people are just all peace loving and
they just organically came together. I don't buy that either.

(01:06:00):
I think the way they acted have been as ridiculous
and childish. I think they put themselves in bad situation.
It does not excuse nor give a reason for the
way that DHS has acted. But we need to start
getting some adults to handle some of this stuff because
I'm getting frustrated. A lot of people are getting frustrated.
It is an ugly situation that I fear is going

(01:06:23):
to get uglier before it gets better. Three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Beanta shows your
actual instat YouTube and more, A little urban worth the

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
If you like talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
On this gorgeous Thursday, we like to break it down
for you like it's hot. That's the thing beg it
like it's hot, beke it like it's hot. When I
say that, I'm talking about the fresh words that the
youngsters use the utse of America as we help you
engage in civil discourse and conversation. As they use words

(01:08:18):
that dwell we have used in the past, but we
no longer use in the same way because, as we
all know, they've changed those meanings. You know what time
it is.

Speaker 14 (01:08:28):
Now, it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
The young have a vocabulary all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 14 (01:08:36):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
Alrighty, already, alrighty, your urban word of the day. Sigma.
Now many of you are thinking's sigma? Okay, how they
gonna do? What are they gonna do with this one? Right?
It's the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, widely used
in math for summation, but it is also an Internet
word that is flying around. It's becoming something big. Now
this is gonna be word in twenty twenty six. You

(01:09:02):
heard it here first. Sigma lone wolf, cool, self assured, independent,
operates outside of social hierarchies, like an alpha or a
beta figure. Okay, so you guys, see where we're going
that one. So they're outside of all of the chaos
and craziness of the people that have their own clicks

(01:09:25):
in the world. They're kind of doing their own that
kind of like a Ronan, right, Like that's very Ronan
of you. It's my new one I'm using this year,
and that is a samurai who has lost his master
and instead wander's doing his own thing, right, not serving
any master. Ooh, look at that right there. Today Sigma
is your urban word of the day.

Speaker 14 (01:09:47):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Now, you know, speaking of knowing, apparently we're heading to
a civil war and this lady here wants to remind
Maga you better watch out because haha, you you're stupid.

Speaker 8 (01:10:00):
Oh Maga. Don't you understand if we have another civil war,
all the Blue States will control all the fresh water.
You guys don't think they're through, do you?

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
So I have to remind her. Okay, it doesn't remind you, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.
If indeed you go by ma'am that yeah, they would
control a lot of the water. Remind you here that
that that would be true except for the part where
you would be in control of it because oh yeah,
they have all the guns, oh poe. And unless your

(01:10:37):
magic right, like like you can control water, unless you're
one of those, can you do that? You can't do that? Okay,
then then yeah, let's let's let's let's put that one
on the back burner and settle down with your civil war. Okay,
just settle down. It's not happening. We're too lazy. We're
not doing that. We got other things going on. Unless

(01:11:00):
it's an app where we don't have to get off
and we can swipe right, we don't even want to
fight on. We just swipe right or left. Unless it's
something like that, we're not getting off the couch. Just
a reminder there in that situation. I'm always amazed. This
whole thought that we're gonna go to a civil wards
gonna happen. Yet it is, It isn't, it's not. That's

(01:11:27):
why we had the monks, right, That's why we're doing
the monk thing, just to show everybody that there's so
many people out there who are united in a lot
of things, aren't full of hate and anger. Remember, the
domination of the news cycle is because crazy's out there
and both sides want to make sure the craziest person

(01:11:50):
they see, they can get you to be convinced that
that is what every single person on that side of
the is like, Okay, that's what they want you to believe.
We don't do that. It's not what we're about. Here three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chat Benson Show, it's

(01:12:11):
your extra Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more right here the
Chad Benson Show. Coming up, our number three of the program.

as always Epstein, what's trending? And yes, the Monk March

(01:12:31):
is going on and we're gonna be covering it a
lot as they make their way to DC because I
think it's a good story. We need more good stories.
And then, of course the biggest story of stories right now,
which is the Arctic Bomb set to cover about one
hundred and eighty plus million people and make a tell
for a lot of people even though it's cold, so
that's odd, right, All that is so much more coming

(01:12:52):

Jenna Witz, Ashley Schlaefer and Michael Heimler producers.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
All right, not seeing that one. It's on the Netflix.
I think it's one of those ones that's, oh, you're
going to feel it in your bones, and it's a
slow epic. So there's that. So don't worry. I'm going
to have your I will have your list of who's
going to win. And I am really good at this.
Usually usually I am. I get about eighty to ninety

(01:17:11):
percent of them. Right, Having never seen one of these,
I'm going to start my own movie reviews where it's
just for regular people, not art crap. That's what it'll
be called, Movies for regular people, not art crap. Oh jeez,
ched it weird. Now we'll give you some more of
these a little bit later. Big news, obviously, the weather

(01:17:34):
outside is going to be cold and very cold.

Speaker 36 (01:17:41):
A lot of Pacific and golf moisture meeting up with
that serious Arctic that's coming far south.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
So ice in the middle right Dallas.

Speaker 36 (01:17:47):
Over a north of Little Rock, over to Nashville, Raleigh,
Virginia Beach, even into Delaware is going to ride along
and depend very heavily on where that little pressure system
sets up. So that's why you're seeing changes in the forecast,
because as as we get closer, it's going to be
a very very narrow line that ends up with the
worst of that icing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
And the icing is the thing you worry about, okay,
And and I'll tell you guys this, the snow, all
that stuff, it's going to come. We've been joking about
how you take care of everything and you wrap it
all up, you know, the whole nine yards. Say it's
because we care about you guys. But the ice part
of it is the part the frozen rain that's going
to stick to the ground and then it's going to

(01:18:26):
freeze and it's you know, it's it's that black ice. Man.
You gotta pay attention to that stuff. But it is
going to be cold for sure. From Dallas through the
Carolinas of the eastern seaboard, the Midwest is already getting
pounded in some areas and the freeze is on for them.

(01:18:48):
So this is going to be one of those you know,
they talk about the Great Freeze here and the Great
Freeze there. I remember the Great Freeze of ninety three
or whatever it is. But this is one of those
ones where the size of it, almost two hundred million
people are going to be under some sort of freeze
watch over the next probably three to five days. So

(01:19:12):
be prepared, and we say it every hour. We'll continue
to say it was break this thing down. Pay attention
to that neighbor that you think, oh you know what,
you know, missus Jones down the street or mister Smith
or whatever. I might go check on them just to
make sure everything's okay. They got everything they need because

(01:19:33):
cold kills fast seven to ten times as much as
the heat. So just saying, you know, we all got
that opportunity to check on somebody, Make sure that you
do it, or make sure that you know in your
city where that warming center is to help people out,
because this is going to be that bad. Potentially it's

(01:19:55):
going to be that bad. Meanwhile, Minneapolis, more chaos and
craziness expected protests. Jade Vancy is going to show up
today to reaffirm the stance of the administration and what

(01:20:16):
they're trying to do there. While all of that is
taking place, there are serious issues that are out there
about the way that some things have gone down when
it comes to things like warrants for the ICE officers.

Speaker 37 (01:20:31):
And according to the memo Form I two five or
the warrant of removal slash deportation can be drafted and
signed by an ICE official instead of a neutral party
like a judge or a magistrate. Experts say it could
mean less accountability and more mistakes, but DHS denying that,
saying they are following the law to the letter.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
We're going to find out how true that is, because,
as we all know, kids, lawsuits abound everywhere. Meanwhile, Jacob Ferry,
the mayor, was on with Chris Cuomo and they talked
about several things, and this is one of those things
where I continue to go back to this and I
say this, Democrats, the federal government shouldn't be your enemy. Okay,

(01:21:15):
we can dislike some of the things that are going
on with ICE. I don't hate all ICE officers, do
I think there's some gun ho people out there. Yes,
do I not like the look of some of this
and the way that things are going down Because I'm
a freethinker. Kids, what I do, right, I asked you
to do the same thing, question some of this stuff,
because there are things that need to be questioned in

(01:21:38):
the way that some of these things are done. But
the local law enforcement, in particular in the jails and
the prisons, make it extremely tough for them to do
their jobs. And I mean, it is fascinating to see
how this has become so ridiculous.

Speaker 20 (01:21:58):
You don't believe that the federal government is right that
the state of Minnesota, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Through the governor's office, refuses.

Speaker 20 (01:22:06):
To give them access to the jails and prisons to
collect people that they say are.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
Criminal and not supposed to be in the country.

Speaker 16 (01:22:12):
I won't speak for the state. I will let them
speak for themselves, but certainly that is what they have
related in Minneapolis. We will not cooperate with ICE or
any federal agency around immigration enforcement work.

Speaker 14 (01:22:28):
We will not.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
They're not asking you to enforce anything. They're saying, Hey,
we have a Warrens, we know this person's in custody.
We are going to pick him up, can you hold
him for us? And then what have we seen? They
let them out? This bizarre want to protect at times

(01:22:50):
the worst of the worst of the worst is fascinating
to me, it is. And then you got to asked
the question about the of course a ball bolishing ice,
getting rid of he did something that democrats need to
learn from, abolishing the police, abolishing ice, getting rid of
certain things. There are roles to play, obviously, for the police,

(01:23:13):
who already have a hard enough job, and with ICE,
who already have a hard enough job for them to play.
The getting rid of them doesn't solve the problem that's
there are And again people are outraged, they believe the
actions of law enforcement were wrong, and they are calls
to defund ICE.

Speaker 16 (01:23:33):
How do you feel about that? Well, what I've heard
is abolish ice. I mean, let's be real. The amount
of money that has been dumped into ICE over the
last year has been ridiculous, and so I mean, gosh,
you know, we could use a lot of that money
to hire police officers, which we very much need. We
could use that money to put up affordable housing. Do

(01:23:53):
you believe that there should be ICE? So I think
a lot of people are talking by one another on this.
Here's what I think ICE needs bottom to top transformation.
The conduct that ICE is presently engaged in and the
way they're being directed is horrific.

Speaker 14 (01:24:08):
Must be very clear.

Speaker 16 (01:24:10):
I've heard really good ideas that ICE should not be
located in DHS but should rather be put in a
different department. Altogether, I think all very good arguments.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
I think those are questions that you can absolutely have.
But having ICE do their job in a way where
when they show up they are protested, they get attacked
in certain situations, yes, and they've at times behaved poorly.

(01:24:42):
They are demonized, they are docked, they are stopped from
doing their job. There's questions all around. We shouldn't be
making it harder for them, but alas, we live in
a time where it's about the clicks, the likes and
the noise rather than solutions. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

You're listening to the Chad Bency Show.

Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending?

Speaker 39 (01:26:33):
I'm signed James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sir,
what trapping?

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
All right? Fine? I was trending on the old web
of the Internet. Greenland not a shaker trending. So's Iceland
And they're like, why are we trended? Because you made
part of the deal as well. We needed a three
team trade. Chad never went trending thing in America yesterday
in the last twenty four hours though. Was it Greenland? No?

(01:27:19):
Was it Iceland? No? Was it Davos No?

Speaker 33 (01:27:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
It was Slavia Prague versus Barcelona, Jews Soccer Genie bus
Son Google upset she didn't think oh Lebron was grateful
enough after they drafted his kid Bronnie. Yeah, it's a

(01:27:43):
little upset about that. I guess. Exploding tree risk and
this goes with the winter. Is there a risk for
cracks in trees and stuff because of the cold. So
that is also trending over to axe a lot of
political called stuff. Ice Minneapolis TPUSA Faith Tour launches at

(01:28:06):
a church facing abuse lawsuits. Yeah, I don't know if
i'd I'd go there Gold Thomas Massey. So Thomas Massey
is running. He's being primary right by somebody that Trump
has got behind. But Massey is in a massive lead,
and that's good. It's good. I like Thomas Massey. He's

(01:28:28):
what I call a free thinker. Greenland, Davos, al Gore,
Newscum all trending, and finally over to Yahoo, Boon, Nicks,
Brooklyn Beckham. That battle that's going on. There's kind of bizarre.
Air Force one after their turnaround, also trending. Everything was fine,

(01:28:53):
just some issues three, two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Ed Benson Show. Is your ex, your Insta,
your Utibe, your Facebook and more. Love hearing from each
and every one of you right here on the Chedbinson Show.
Ice also trending, II ICE, e lectricity bills, and the
winter storm trending because it is coming and it is

(01:29:17):
going to be big, huge, massive. One of the other
things that was trending from yesterday was the Epstein files
and the Clintons.

Speaker 11 (01:29:29):
The resolution targeting Bill Clinton passed overwhelmingly in committee thirty
four to eight, with nine Democrats voting with Republicans descended
to the House floor. A similar measure holding Hillary Clinton
in contempt passed more narrowly, with three Democrats signing on.
Both votes are signs the full House would approve the
contempt resolutions. So far, the Clintons have refused to testify
about their former friendship, with Jeffrey Epstein blasting the inquiry

(01:29:52):
as partisan, insisting they have little to offer, and calling
the subpoenas they've been issued legally invalid.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
Yeah, that's uh interesting, right, I mean, there would be
no way that this could be politically motivated.

Speaker 7 (01:30:04):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
We're still waiting for I don't know all of the
stuff to be released because you had the ziarly eighteenth
of December. We're past there. What the hell's going on? Nothing,
That's what You've got to come out and say and
make sure that everybody knows Trump's has nothing to do
with any of this.

Speaker 12 (01:30:22):
When we met with those victims, I think it's this
very public. There were several Democrats that made very clear
to ask the victims if they ever saw President Trump
do anything wrong, and every one of them said no.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
So you met with thousands of victims, are you saying
you think Trump's involved. I think Trump's involved in the
cover up of whatever being covered up. So just putting
that out there, I think we all recognize that. Duh.
And I've never thought he did anything, but there's definitely
hiding going on. Chad Benson shown.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
All Right, I'm gonna watch Sinners this weekend. Sinners, which
is a movie about vampires set in just after World
War One, A little speakeasy kind of time thing. Vampires,
klu klux Klan, all kinds of stuff. I've not seen it.
I can't wait to see it. I keep saying it. Oh,

(01:31:42):
I gotta go see it. So but it set a
record today movies sets a record subout a tech.

Speaker 40 (01:31:50):
Sinners collected sixteen Oscar nominations, the most of any twenty
twenty five film. It's also the most nominations for a
single movie ever, breaking a record held by All About
Titanic and La La Land, which all had fourteen nominations.
The Vampire Epic was a big success at the box
office last year, taking in nearly three hundred and seventy
million dollars worldwide. It's directed by Ryan Coogler, who's up

(01:32:12):
for Best Director. Sinners is also nominated in most of
the acting categories and has the Best Picture.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
No. All right, so I'm gonna watch it. I've made
my decision. It is on my Que've moved it up
to number one in my queue, and I will watch it.
I'm going to buy it. Said this time tomorrow, I
will have watched Sinners, and I will break it down
for you. Knowing full well is probably the only movie
that I will see when it comes to the Oscars.

Speaker 38 (01:33:35):

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):

Speaker 38 (01:34:11):
Here are the nominees for performance by an actor in
a supporting role.

Speaker 14 (01:34:16):
Benicio del Toro in.

Scarsguard in Sentimental Value.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):

l Fanning in Sentimental Value, inga Abe's Daughter Leelas and
Sentimental Value, Amy Madig and Weapons We Mean Mustaphone in

(01:35:04):
Centers in Tiana Taylor in one battle.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
I don't know. I will have your answer, though, and
I will get it right, and we will keep score
as we do every year, and then I will probably
this year is a little bit harder than others, but
I'm thinking I'm gonna get still seventy to eighty percent
of them right. Normally I'm eighty to ninety percent. Some
tough stuff though this year, because one battle after another
has done well, partially because Trump's in office. Perfect underrelease it.

(01:35:34):
It's about radical leftists and fighting the man. But it's
got a comedy twist to it. So we're gonna see,
We're gonna see. Speaking of acting Trump's act of We're
gonna tear you apart Greenland if you don't give us
everything we want. That worked out well. So what do

(01:35:56):
they get whatever we wanted, which is what we were
always going to get. No, we don't get ownership of
it and we don't have to pay anything. Trump's big
thing again that he comes out yesterday lots of we're
gonna get you know, this deal done and it's going
to be great for everybody, and you know, the whole
nine yards. Do I think that it is going to
be what he absolutely wants ownership. It's not I don't

(01:36:20):
think sovereignty or anything else. We're not getting that. Although
it was funny yesterday he's like, you don't fight is
hard if it's a lease, right, if you own it,
you're fighting for it. If it's a lease, you're not
gonna fight so hard. So I don't know what we're
gonna do. But he's not gonna take it by force,
which he could he could absolutely. I mean, you know what,
do they have twenty soldiers there? The Germans have gone home?

(01:36:43):
There's what ten French, ten Danes. Hell, we could just
tell our Space Force, Hey, Space Force, go plan a
flag in the middle of everything and tell everybody it's
America now and they'd be like, all right, I'm me
get my stuff on and get my mushroom dogs ready.
So that's an interesting thing. But today he comes out

(01:37:06):
talking about the Board of Peace for what is going
on in the magical world of Gaza that hasn't been
so magical. It's been the exact opposite. It's been a nightmare.
And we've been talking about this because there hasn't been
This is phase two, and so he put out the board.
We need a board of peace. Right, we need a

(01:37:26):
board of peace. Gotta have a board of peace. We're
gonna bring the most peaceful people together. They're all gonna
be like Gandhi Mahadma. Is that guy here?

Speaker 7 (01:37:34):
No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
What about the Tibeti guy, that guy I always see
him around. He seems he could be on the Peace board.
That'd be fantastic. No, he's not there either. So let's
talk about who's on the board of piece. Are we ready?
No Palestinians at all, So none of that. A lot
of people already complaining. Well, hold on a second, you

(01:37:58):
had a boarder piece in Palestine and Gaza, and there's
not going to be any leadership on the executive level,
mostly US appointees and Allied officials. So the Board of Peace.
Donald Trump, Chairman of the Board of Peace. I'm very peaceful,

(01:38:18):
as I told you, very peaceful. Should have got an award.
Didn't get an award, means so I've made myself my
own award. So Nikolay Medenoff, who was the High Representative

Marco Rubio, Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, Mark Rowan,

this location on the sea, Look at this beautiful piece
of property. What it could be for so many people.

Speaker 14 (01:39:54):
It'll be so great.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
People that are living so poorly are going to be
living so well. No, they're not, they are not. You
do you really think that, I mean, honestly, do you
think that? Do you think that you're gonna set up
all of these amazing hotels, all of these amazing you know,
golf courses and the stuff they're talking about. For the

(01:40:17):
place for people to live. It is going to be

latest on the Marching Monks. Where are they? How is
it going? We'll find out more about them as we
follow their journey from Dallas Fort Worth through parts of
the South all the way up into DC. It's very exciting,
and we like good stories like this. Chad mensa Jew.

Speaker 8 (01:42:36):
Hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help.

Speaker 1 (01:42:39):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:42:46):
As we wrap up today's program, I tell you guys this,
there's chaos out there, there's lunacy out there's all kinds
of wackiness out there and anger. That's why I love
talking about the monks that are on their march because
I think it's a good thing. I think we need
stories like this more and more. These cats are out
there doing it. They're putting their feet and their money

(01:43:09):
even though they don't really have any world lead possessions
where their mouth is as they march for peace, having
left Dallas Fort Worth in October, heading to DC to
deliver a message of piece at a time of fraction.
Hell yeah, I'll take a little bit more of that.
That's why we've decided to put this together so we

(01:43:30):
can keep you updated on what's happening. So, without further ado,
let's get to it as quickly as you can.

Speaker 19 (01:43:38):
Snatch the pebble from my hand. When you could take
the pebble from my hand. It would be time for you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
To be Now it's time for your daily Monk March update.
Time for you to leave, all right. So last night
they were in Siler City. Today they're heading to Pittsburgh
in North Carolina. They're going to US sixty four Highway.
Set by step, they keep saying they're doing this. So

(01:44:05):
they're gonna have a lunch stop where they're not gonna
be visiting hours. Just want to let everybody know that.
But then they're gonna overnight rest in Chatham County Agricultural
Industrial Fair Association grounds, and they want everybody to come
by if you have a chance to see them. And
if you're wondering what kind of monks they are, well,

(01:44:25):
this is a doctor of anthropology talking about what kind
of monks they are and why they're doing this.

Speaker 20 (01:44:29):
They're typically three branches of Buddhist traditions. These are called
Terravada Buddhists, and walking goes all the way back to
probably the Buddha himself, at least in the earliest traditions
of Buddhism that we have from the archaeological and textual evidence.
So these monks are walking, you know, from one place

(01:44:52):
to another, especially in times in which there's a lot
of issues, whether it's war or famine or anger. Of course,
they're kind of like a lighthouse. So when they're walking
in this way in front of people that are not
monastic or not even Buddhists, they are giving off this

(01:45:14):
energy of a lighthouse saying, you know, we have a
sort of spiritual energy.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
I love it. The amount of people are showing up
and seeing them. Now when we first started to come,
there's nineteen of them. Sixteen of them are walking without
shoes originally, but they are. As we are talking about,
heading towards areas where the giant Arctic snowblast is coming,
people are asking questions how are they doing When it

(01:45:42):
comes to their bodies? Obviously that's a big deal as
well as you know, not just their mind, but you know,
the body itself is one thing. The knees all that
I can said, what about them feets? What about them feats?
Now they have a PA physician assistant that is falling
along with them.

Speaker 21 (01:45:57):
You can tell that definitely, taking a toe on the feed.
Not only the feed, but you know all the jawns,
you know, from the angles to their knees to the head.

Speaker 2 (01:46:06):
It's it is incredible to see people to show up.
This is one of the stories. It was heartening yesterday
seeing a mom and her child out there and reminded
me a lot of my little brother Spencer, who if
you guys know, if you listen to the show we've
talked about for years, he's you know, brain damage, trake
g two seizures, tons of them. This lady's daughter is

(01:46:27):
suffering the same.

Speaker 22 (01:46:28):
She currently has about two hundred seizures a day. So
we are working towards getting her medicine right and just
praying that we get a miracle.

Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
Monks gave her a little blessing, but they also gave
her a bracelet and she was thrilled by that. But
a lot of this, you know, it's not just about
this kind of thing, you know, where it's like it's
a miracle. They just wanted to come out because it's goodwill.
Right at a time when earlier were talking about some
lunatics like, ah, before you have a chevel war, you
guys are stupid because we control the water, and you're like, really,

(01:47:03):
your nut job, Really, how about we realize that we're
a lot closer together outside of the extremes which have
too much influence on stuff than further apart.

Speaker 1 (01:47:14):
It meant a lot to me the first time I
heard them speak, so I needed it again.

Speaker 14 (01:47:19):
This is very very important.

Speaker 23 (01:47:21):
They're spreading peace, love, light, harmony, all the good stuff.
Look at all these beautiful people, and we need that
in this world.

Speaker 1 (01:47:27):
I think it's amazing. I'm from Chapel Hills.

Speaker 7 (01:47:29):
I've been following them since they started walking in October,
and me personally, I think it is so beautiful what
they're doing right now, and I love that A has
truly brought so many people out just to enjoy this moment.

Speaker 2 (01:47:42):
Indeed, now again today heading to Pittsburgh, North Carolina. They're
on the way to Raleigh, and let's take a look
at the temperature. Just want to get a quick snapshot
of what they're headed to today because the weather again
outside is frightful in a lot of places. It is
going to be okay today, fifty seven today, but as

(01:48:04):
they start to head further into their walk, you're going
to start to see the snow and that Arctic blast
come through. So we'll be keep an eye out from
And yes, they do have a loyal dog, a Loca
who joined them after they left Fort Worth and they
call him I think the Dog of Peace. That's what
it means. He is recovering, he had some injuries, but
he is with them always in the vans that are

(01:48:26):
following them. It's kind of like the Tour de France.
As one person said, it's kind of what it looks like.
So we'll be updating you on this because it's good
to know. Sometimes we do stories and you never hear
about it, and again we're gonna update you because I
think this is a story we need as they head
to DC to to talk about peace and to deliver
a message of which then I'm sure Trump will have
them deport it. I'm kidding or am I? Three two, three, five,

(01:48:49):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad meant
to show direct your Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more right
here on the Chad Benton Chill. Another solid fun show
today as we wrapped up with a smile on our
face and the Monk March, we're gonna be watching it.
I like it.

Speaker 37 (01:49:05):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
Smart thing, good thing, good thing, good thing for the soul,
A good thing for the soul. I tell you that
we did cover a lot today as we do, we
give you a not a hodgepodge, but a buffet of infotainment,
from Greenland to immigration, to shark attacks and yes, even
marching monks. Kids, you're gonna get that nowhere else. Everybody

(01:49:26):
else just screaming and yet at each other. That's not
something that sounds like fun when you are here to
make you smile. You guys, have a blessed and amazing
rest of your hold on a second. I see you Friday, Thursday.
We'll do it again tomorrow. It's always night night Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:40):
This is the Chad Benson Show.
