Speaker 1 (00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff out there in the
world to talk about.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Just a quick thing.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
I think I saw this in the New York Times,
of all places, the failing New York Times.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
If you ask the.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Former president, the international market seems to be very afraid
of a US economic downturn, so much so that there
have been indexed drops of twelve point four percent based
on economic fears that are probably tied to some of
what I would like to call more generous ways of

(00:53):
describing the race between Trump and Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yes, Harris is doing better than By is doing.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I actually read a recent report that I was particularly
amused by, and this is not to sound quite as
one sided as it does, but it talked about how
close the race is, how everything's evened out since Biden
stepped down and Harris stepped up, and then right toward
the middle, maybe like fourth or fifth paragraph in you

(01:21):
read a sentence that said Trump is still leading by
four or five six points in every swing state, but
that outside of that part, and the Swing States being
vitally important to winning.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Now. Granted, I will also.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Say just at the start of this before I move
on to other stuff, stuff that's probably more interesting than this.
Somehow it feels like it's more interesting than this is.
It would be somewhat surreal to me if Trump, who
obviously did survive an assassination attempt, would not wind up
getting a bigger boost in the pulls from that.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
There's no way to say that different.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
I know that there are people who have did definitely
made their mind up about the former president at this
I laugh as I say that, actually, because there's no
way you don't have your mind made up at this point,
I would assume. But as I say that, I also
think to myself that we're in an odd time if
that moment and even the choice to say raise his

(02:17):
hand and say fight, doesn't actually provide him a bigger
political win. Not that that's what that's supposed to be about,
but in the United States usually those are the moments
where we rally around people. I don't mean everyone, I
just mean more than might. So it would be shocking
to me if that doesn't wind up being a bigger
part in this and the pull numbers haven't really demonstrated

(02:39):
a huge uptick in additional support for Trump, which is well, again,
as I said, just odd. But anyway, just to start,
I thought it was interesting that some of the international
economic indexes are saying that things are bordering on could
be bad depending on how things go from here. All right,
one other thing I really liked that I want to
play you know, I want to say something about this. Actually,

(03:03):
I want to say something about a lot of things
this morning. So when Kamala Harris was assumed to be
the choice, when Biden was stepping aside, and everyone thought
that she was stepping up, there were these dei Higher
jokes that were out there. And I said at the time,
and I'll still say this at the time, even if
it gets me in trouble, that it's actually true that

(03:25):
Kamala Harris was picked and this is based on the
words of Biden and others because of the color of
her skin, or because of her sex, or whatever you
want to say. They wanted to pick a woman that
wasn't white. That's something that Biden said multiple times. And
so the Dei Higher thing, it was accurate. Even if

(03:47):
you think that she still deserved the job, then why
say that other part.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's what I've always been confused about.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Democrats want to behave as though they're trying to hire
people for reasons that are completely pure, but then they
also need the political win, so they articulate out loud
the thing that makes the hiring sound like it's not pure.
It makes it sound like it's not for just the
most talented person that you could find reasons that we're

(04:13):
supposed to have. So anyway, on this topic, you had
an argument pop up. This was on George Stefanopoulos's show.
I have some audio, I'll go ahead and play a
little bit of it. What I think is so interesting
about this too, and so many of these things now,
is that essentially we're going to now debate something, whatever

(04:33):
it is, whether it's the ethnicity of Kamala Harris, whether
it's the amount that she's used it as a focal
point earlier on in her political career, or if it's
becoming a huge focus.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Now in her political career, whatever it might be.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I just think all of this is so intriguing because
even the initial shot that she was picked for a
specific reason is more true than people would want it
to be at least based on the words again of
the people who picked her. And one last thing I
guess I'll say before I hit play on this that
I just find so interesting. Kamala Harris deeply disliked by

(05:07):
most Americans until she was chosen to be the presumptive
nominee for the Democratic Party. Now it seems like some
polls are saying, hey, maybe she's good, maybe we like
her now. I don't know exactly how that works to
be someone you don't like into someone you do unless
you just didn't know much about her at all, which

(05:27):
I assume maybe a lot of people didn't or weren't
paying attention.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
But here we go.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Here's a little bit of a back and forth with
George Stephanopolis over the heritage of Kamala Harris.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
And you just repeated the slur again. If it doesn't matter,
why do you all keep questioning her identity. She's always
identified as a black woman, She is biracial. She has
a Jamaican father and Indian mother. She's always identified as both.
Why are you questioning that?

Speaker 6 (05:51):
Well, George, First of all, this is something that's actually
a conversation throughout social media right now. There were a
lot of people who are trying to figure this out.
But again that's a side issue, not the main issue.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
The main issue, sir. One second.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
So you just did it. You just did it again.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
Of the United States.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Why do you why do you questioning her racial identity?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
All right, I'll pose it right here. We're about thirty
four seconds into this thing. You've got Byron Donald saying
that there's questions on social media about the ethnicity of
Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
How significant of a thing.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
It is for her to say that she's of a
certain race, or if she's actually bragged or been happy
about that before in her life. All those things, all
those things matter. And so then here we go. Here's
the back and forth.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
You want me to talk.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I want you to answer my question.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
George, George, now that you're done yelling at me, let
me answer. He talked about it on the stage yesterday
in Atlanta for what two minutes? He spent more than
thirty five to forty minutes going after her record, talking
about how radical of a senator that she was. She
was the most liberal senator in the United States, in
the United States Senate, that is a fact. He talked
about the job that she did as Vice President of

(07:00):
the United States, a job, I will add, which has
been a failure for the American people. I know you
guys like to golm on to this that he talks
about in jest or in a serious manner for about
a minute or so. But what you do not cover
is the litany of failures of Kamala Harris. That's what
we're not covering, George.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
So questioning somebody's racial identity, if you're a cover a
couple of minutes, is.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
Okay, George, I'm gonna tell you again.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
He brought it up.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Ap is the one that wrote the headline when she
first came in to the United States Senate. Didn't talk
about her being black, talked about her being the first
Indian American senator. Ap brought that up. I mean, George,
we could have this conversation for the entire segment, but
none of this matters to the American people. What matters
to the American people is are we going to have
the same policies of the Biden Harris administration that has

(07:49):
been destructive of the American people, or are we going
to have the policies of the Trump administration which put
America first had low inflation, prosperous.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
And a lot of good stuff.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
But anyway, what I think is so interesting about the
totality that back and forth, as you can tell by
Ren Donalds thinks it's much more important to talk about
other things, but to reference the AP article that celebrated
Harris as an Indian American. I get it for anyone
that's yelling at the radio right now. I get how
if you have a parent that is one race and

(08:22):
then another parent that's a different race, that you wind
up being both races.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I get how the science works.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
What I think matters about this, and what I think
is the reason that Trump takes the shots. The way
that Trump takes shots at people is because of how
politics uses these things. And what I mean again, and
this is why I started the segment by saying the
dei higher thing is that politics uses it. The best
way for Democrats to remove the idea that Republicans take

(08:49):
shots at politicians based on them being hired because of
their race is for Democrats to stop wanting a win so.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Bad that they say it out loud. They have to
stop that part.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
If they don't say it out loud, then people on
the right would be more likely to be accused of
something that they look pretty bad saying. But when you're
saying it out loud, when you're talking about how you
want to hire someone that looks a certain way because
you think it's the right thing to do, well, then
darn it, you're opening the door to that conversation. They'd
be like getting hired at a job, any job, any

(09:21):
one of us, and being told in the interview that
they were happy about our sex or our race or something,
being like, oh, we're so happy that you look like
that or that you are this category of person, and
then other people be like, what, you wouldn't want that
job for that reason. You'd feel undercut, you'd feel like

(09:42):
you didn't actually deserve it. And then it opened the
door if they told the whole company too, like yeah,
we hired this person, We're very happy with the way
they look, it would probably cause more problems.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
You all know this. We all know this.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
But any way, what I think is even more interesting
about this, too, is the objection to politics using it
to to get somebody elected. If Kamala Harris now all
of a sudden starts to focus very specifically on, say
her being black or her being any specific thing, then
you know that she's doing it for political reasons. And

(10:14):
I think the biggest opportunity Democrats saw on that was
taking away any of the win that Trump was getting
with certain minority voters.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's just it's so.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Funny to me, I guess to say it that way,
how politics works, how this sort of thing and that
sort of thing can be used for political advantage. And
then eventually, I imagine, you know, I'm actually going to
say one other thing about this. I imagine anyone who
winds up in politics with a long political career has
to be immune to any of the going to sleep

(10:47):
at night sadness you might feel, or shame you might feel,
and how you wield whatever the things are that you
think help you get elected. That might not be stuff
you really want to focus on as a person. The
stuff that is not actually the policies, the issues, what
I would do, what someone else would do if in
charge of the country, but the other things like I'm

(11:08):
someone you should vote for because I'm black, or I'm this,
or I'm whatever it might be. It's so interesting to
me because I imagine that's the sort of thing that
eventually a lot of these people just don't give a
crap about at all, and they can just do this
second nature sort of stuff, which is actually quite sad,
if I'm being honest. But that's just one of the

(11:28):
things out there. There are a lot of other things
out there. I don't think it's going to help Trump
to keep going after the race of Kamala Harris. So
I think it's probably something that people are going to
tell him to stop doing. Not that he listens when
people tell him to stop doing this stuff, but it's
usually something that people tell him to stop doing. We'll see,
we'll see how all of that goes. Other than that,
there are some sillier things out there to talk about.
I like silly stuff. You like silly stuff. Why should

(11:50):
we do serious stuff. Let's do a lot of silly
stuff when we come back from this first break. This
is Craig Collins and I'm filling in on the Chad

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Jab Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (13:15):

Speaker 4 (13:17):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in Thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. Breaking
is an Olympic sport, well breakdancing specifically, but I think
they can just call it the break in. It's historic
and it's something Producer Phil was just telling me off
the air that he said he didn't stay up till
what it was four o'clock in the morning to watch
the first round of the breakdancing. I did just look

(13:39):
this up because I was curious about when more breakdancing happens,
more qualifiers, especially things that involve the United States, And
I think it's still another week or so before we
start seeing a bunch of us competing in this sort
of thing.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
But well, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
We have some favorites I guess too, that we think
might do well. I also dove into how this is
going to be judged. There are six categories in the
Olympics for break dancing. Sixteen female and sixteen male competitors
are all competing in this sport, if that's what we're
calling it, Creativity, personality, variety, technique, performativity which is weird,

(14:19):
and musicality that's the last one. So if you decide
on all six of these things that someone just crushed it,
you're going to give them a gold medal for break dancing.
They're one minute battles. I don't know what I'm Is
this real? Is this really the Olympics?

Speaker 3 (14:35):
It is?

Speaker 4 (14:36):
I might be entertaining to watch that part might be fine,
And you know what, I'll say this about it too.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Actually I can't do it. A whole lot of people
can't do it.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
It is something that takes a unique set of skill
to do it at an elite level. So I guess
it really kind of is an Olympic sport as much
as anything else is, because it takes a certain level
of fitness and all that other stuff to do this
sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
By the way, for an Olympic update, just basic one.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
After an awesome weekend, the United States has closed the
gap on gold medals with any of the other countries
out there, So it seems like the US is going
to once again just crush it as far as total
medals go at the Olympics, and also doing quite well
in the world of.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Gold medals right now.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Although no one is very close to Michael Phelps's record
of twenty three golds, there are some people that maybe
could do well if they.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Go to the twenty twenty eight Olympics too.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
That's act of a record to be holding onto it
that strongly that you have a whole nother set of
Olympics someone might have to attend to even try to
get close on you. All Right, that's just some of
the stuff that we have coming up on the show.
There is a lot of things to talk about today
because there's a lot of serious news out there in
the world, and of course Chad is back tomorrow. This

(15:45):
is Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.
And yet I know that some of the biggest stories
of the day still involve everything going on in the
world of politics, whether it's Trump, whether it's Kamala Harris,
whatever you might see, as far as any sort of
closing of the race between the two of them. It's
just something you're hearing more and more and something that

(16:07):
I'm pretty sure is not quite as accurate as mainstream
media wants you to believe it is. But nonetheless, there
are some interesting things happening in the world, whether it's
Israel bracing for fresh strikes from Iran or any other
type of conflict that might make you think, hey, maybe
this is a reason to put someone in a position
of power that hasn't been in it yet.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
That and more coming up in a bit. That and
more coming up in a bit.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
As I just said a second ago, But this is
Craig Collins filling in on the show. You know what,
let's tease one other topic. Let's try to do this
a little bit better, sir, if we can.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
That would be me.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Kamala's abysmal border policy is a record that she's trying
to avoid, that she's trying to distance herself from for
very very obvious reasons. There aren't many people who wouldn't
think that what's going on at the border is atrocious
and horrible, but it is interesting. Maybe some mainstream media
has really helped Kamala try to be separate from the

(17:04):
f rating that was actually given to the United States recently.
As far as border security goes and other things, this
is something that does matter Kamala. Harris has also compared
ICE to the KKK in our past, so that should
be an easy thing to target. Let's see if that
comes up in a debate between the two of them.
Greg Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Such Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent life.

Speaker 2 (18:02):

Speaker 4 (18:05):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Creig Collins.
Filling in.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
One of the things that you're expecting.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
A whole lot of Republicans and especially Trump to start
going after with Kamala Harris is how radically to the
left she is. This is something that I think made
her a lackluster choice for the Democratic Party leading up
to the choice to actually put her in the position,
not that anyone voted for her to be the presumptive nominee.

(18:30):
I will say this too before I hit play any
of this audio that I have, and this is five
years ago. This is Harris as a senator basically calling
Ice the KKK, which feels radical, That feels intense.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
If you want to go ahead and go that road
about it, which I do.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
But nonetheless, what I think is very interesting is if
Kamala had been a much better vice president, if she
had been widely popular, if she had been someone that
people were begging to have the opportunity to run for office,
the Democrats would have Bernie sand their own president. That means,
even though he's the one winning in the Democratic Party,
shove him off to the side and lock him in

(19:07):
a box or something. They would have done that to
Biten a long time ago. They would have let Harris
be the presumptive nominee for say, like a year or so.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
And I know some people saying, no, that's not true.
I was all a gimmick.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
It was all a gag to try to get us
to hear so that Trump would pick his vice president
a certain way or whatever it might be. I don't
believe that. I don't think that that makes a lot
of sense. I think that if Harris was, say, as
popular as the Obama's on the left, even if the
right hates the Obamas, she would have been for a
year and a half talking about how she wants to

(19:39):
be the next president. It would have been a thing
that was happening for quite some time. The reason it
wasn't occurring was because of the history of things She
said things like this, this back and forth discussion with
the nominee that was going to run ice potentially. This
was back in I think nineteen or something. I think
it was twenty nineteen. But here's some that back and forth,

(20:00):
and it's it's sponkers, it's crazy, it's all the stuff
you want it to be about.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
How ICE is essentially the KKK.

Speaker 10 (20:07):
Are you aware of the perception of many about how
the power and the discretion at ICE is being used
to enforce the laws? And do you see any parallels.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
I do not see any parallels between I'm talking abouts
and agents.

Speaker 10 (20:25):
I'm talking about perception.

Speaker 11 (20:27):
I do not see a parallel between what is constitutionally
mandated as it relates to enforcing the law.

Speaker 10 (20:32):
Are you aware that there's a perception you know?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Are you aware that there's a perception ICE.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
In the same category as the KKK?

Speaker 9 (20:39):
Know?

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Is that where you're asking me?

Speaker 10 (20:41):
No, I'm very specific about what I'm asking. Are you
aware of a perception that the way that the discretion
I'm not finished.

Speaker 12 (20:50):
I see none.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
I'm not finished.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
I'm very specific about the question that I'm asking you,
and it's going to take me a while to say
it because what I am saying out loud to most
Americans is the thing you're repeating to me that I'm
comparing ICE to the KKK. But I want to say
it in a very specific way where I'm saying that,
are you ware that there's the perception that because of
the use of power against some and not others? In

(21:13):
the world of Ice, an organization that actually is supposed
to be making sure that our border is secure and
that people are not crossing it illegally.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
I mean, this is insanity. It's full on in sanity.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
It's just one of a bunch of moments that exists
for Kamala Harris where she says crazy stuff. I think
my favorite thing about the Vice President is that when
she's faced with a question where she can tell that
something is likely to be popular on the far left,
she'll say, in response to that question, that's something we

(21:46):
should talk about, or that's something we should think about,
that's something we should you know, look closer at, as
opposed to saying yes or no. It's the same reason
I believe that Harris struggles so much to say publicly
you know anything, that when she gives a speech, she
speaks in these weird I call them a fortune cookie,

(22:07):
but almost like if they were drunk versions of speaking.
It's because you don't want to be stuck on any
one idea, any one issue. Maybe it's because you come
from the world of law. Maybe if you're a lawyer
and then you become a politician, you're aware that people
will use things.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
You say against you. It's almost the opposite of Trump.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Actually, Trump doesn't care how you rechange what he says.
If he says something and then you make it sound
like something else, because he gave you the opportunity to
do it, Trump will just attack you for doing that,
no matter who you are, no matter what you are,
if you're a news organization or a politician, and say
it's simply not true. The opposite is well, how Harris

(22:48):
seems to behave and it's why I think she struggles
so much again to be just a regular person at
regular moments. All right, other things too. Harris has rejected
a Fox debate against Trump. There's something important to talk
about in the world of the debate. So if you
remember when Trump was deciding whether or not he wanted
to debate Biden, Biden was asking for a bunch of things,

(23:12):
and I think Trump was fairly confident that he would
destroy Biden in a debate, so he was saying yes
to pretty much anything and everything out there that Biden
was asking for. They didn't use the typical organization to
schedule presidential debates. They allowed for more of that power
to be chosen by the sitting president of the United States,

(23:34):
and so there were advantages that were built into this.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
The lack of audience was one of them.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
The fact that Biden didn't have to actually be booed
or reacted to by an audience was significant. Now that
Harris has taken over, there is a need for Trump
to rebalance the debates.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
And you can say.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Whatever you want about that, it's simply true. Harris's brain
actually works. Harris is someone who might debate much better
than Biden debated, so you'd want at least make it fair.
And if the first debate was on a left leaning organization,
the second debate should be on Fox and most presidential debates,
or at least in this context, most of them do

(24:12):
get one on say a Fox News or something like it,
so it should happen. But Harris has said no to that.
She's rejected it, which apparently means that she's afraid, or
Trump's afraid, somebody's afraid, depending on who you ask. And
the truth is, I think they both just actually want
an opportunity to have something in their favor when they
debate each other. But we'll see eventually. You think they'd

(24:33):
have to debate because if they don't debate. I don't
know who that benefits more, but I imagine it doesn't benefit
us at all. All Right, another thing I want to play.
I thought this was pretty interesting. The second gentleman or
whatever we call this guy. This is Kamala's husband, Doug
m Off. He said recently that there is way too
much toxic masculinity out there in the world.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
He said this to ems NBC.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
He said it in a way we're you're thinking to yourself, man,
you're begging for votes from people that might be echoing things.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
That you're saying. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
I don't think this is the best way I can
say it. I'm not exactly an incredibly in shape man.
I don't know why I'm admitting that on the radio,
but it's true. I should go to the gym more.
It'd be nicer if I was in better shape. I
don't think on any video camera, though into any microphone,
I would willingly go after toxic masculinity as a dude,

(25:30):
because there's a lot of regular masculinity that falls into
that category. This is stuff that is not toxic. This
is stuff that is not anti women. It's not anything
but essentially to some toxic masculinity means behaving like a
man at hole, and that to me is just vilifying
what it means to be a dude. And so again,
if I was a politician of a high rank, I

(25:54):
don't think I'd want to be known as a guy
fighting against toxic masculinity. The male feminist is a weird
dude to interact with at times. And not because I
don't believe that women deserve good things in life and
equal rights and all that stuff, but because sometimes when
you hear someone talking, you're thinking to yourself, you know

(26:14):
you're a dude, right like you know you're a guy.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
As you're saying this stuff, you sound like you hate
yourself a bit. But here we go.

Speaker 13 (26:21):
Talk about masculinity for a moment, as being second gentlemen
changed your own view of perceived gender roles, of what
it means to be a man.

Speaker 14 (26:34):
This is something I've thought about a lot and something
I've spoken about a lot. There's too much of toxicity,
it's masculine toxicity out there, and we've kind of confused
what it means to be a man, what it means
to be masculine. Where you've got this trope out there
that you've got to be tough and angry and lash

(26:54):
out to be strong. It's just the opposite, you know.
Strength is how you show your love for people. Strength
is how you are for people and how you have
their back, and how you stick up for other people
and put.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
How do you stick up for other people if you
don't do any of the stuff you just said.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
By the way, there's sir.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Let's say that you were in a situation where someone
is trying to hurt someone you love. They're trying to
harm someone that you care about. What do you do there?
If you can't say a words, or you can't be tough,
you can't stand up, how do you defend someone? More importantly,
how do you defend the country or how do you
defend a neighborhood if you can't do any of the

(27:31):
things that he just said are masculine, because some of
those actions sometimes matter. It's a sort of terrifying thing
to say, because it essentially tries to vilify anything and
everything that is aggressive as a toxic masculinity, even if
aggression is needed, say for the reason of defending yourself.

(27:53):
I just don't get it. I don't get this argument.
I don't get this conversation. Yes, of course there are
things that are that happen in the world. They're bad,
that are people using force in moments where you shouldn't
be using it or something like that.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
I don't know that that's masculinity though.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
I think that that's just being a bad person, that's
doing something that's bad as opposed to something that's good.
And it just so happens that the thing that happens
or the thing that that someone is doing might actually
be referred to as masculine or masculinity to people in
the world.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
But I don't.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
I think that's an oversimplification of this conversation, and I
think it's happening to cater to the more extreme position
that's out there.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
You know, like what is toxic masculinity?

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Is football toxically masculine because it's you know, aggressive, because
it's a sport, because it happens. Is that something that
people want to do away with completely? And I'm not
talking about kids playing and protecting kids from getting hurt somehow,
but all right, let's do away with football then, because
it's too toxically masculine. Do we get rid of basketball

(28:58):
and hockey and baseball and everything else? Because they're versions
of the same thing. Truthfully, some people would tell you
that any version of aggression, any version of physicality, is
in of itself somehow bad. And that is just trying
to say out loud whatever way you can, that men
are bad people and men deserve blame, or specifically, I

(29:20):
guess sometimes in society, white men deserve blame for whatever.
And you know what, I actually, I'll say one last
thing and then I'll take a break. I love when
people talk about this or when I talk about this,
and then someone somewhere says, man, did you hear that
white guy complaining about how terrible white men are treated.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
In this society? That's not at all what this is.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
That's not at all what the intention of these kinds
of things saying them out loud is. But it's just
asking a question as to how far you go into
an extreme in order to think that you're placating whoever.
The people are that feel as though they've been treated unfairly.
By and large, most of the arguments we have in
our society today, to me, stem from an in individual

(30:00):
feeling like they are treated unfairly, whether that's young people
and how they're now acting as though they want to
be part of Hamas. Essentially by standing up for Hamas
and saying that what's happening between Israel and Hamas is
horrible and unfair. It comes from a place of feeling
like they themselves are being treated unfairly in a society
where they want more stuff, more money, better opportunities, quicker.

(30:24):
The same thing seems to be true of every other
argument we have, including the toxic masculinity argument. It stems
from a place of feeling that things are unfair, that
men have more opportunities than women do, or anybody who's
not toxically masculine. I guess whatever that means again, and
then you hate them and you complain about it.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Search your feelings people.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Anyone out there who's extreme knows that these things are true.
It's your own anger, of your own treatment in the
world that you feel is or isn't connected to something else.
And then you start to get mad at anybody that
you think is treated unfairly, even if you're oversimplifying it
to get to that position. All right, we'll take a break.
That was a long That was a long ramt. We'll
do something else after this. This is Greg Collins filling

(31:07):
in on the Chad Benson Show. But even when I'm
I'm here and he's not a Chad the hardest working
guy in radio, here he is with a message about Raycon.

Speaker 9 (31:15):
Raycon best earbuds around. Charge my Raycon ready to roll.
I'm gonna go out and play some pickleball today. I'm
probably gonna try to get some golf in if I
have a chance. I've been up for a very long time.
It's kind of my day where I kind of try
to decompress because that's so many things going on. But
you know what the beauty of it is, my Raycon's
are with me.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
If we let go.

Speaker 9 (31:32):
I'm playing pickleball, boom, If I'm playing golf, boom. If
I'm relaxing and doing some work. Cut my raycons in
fit second to none. They don't hurt my ears, sweat
water resistant, and in this time of the year with
the heat, humidity, I need that. I'll tell you that
right now, fast charging, always great, multi connectivity, it's amazing,

(31:53):
sound quality second none. It really is just the best,
and a price point that won't break the bank either.
So if you want quality that is just the best,
made in feel, Raycon, you want fit Raycon, you want
sound quality Raycon, ease of use Raycon.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
I can go on and on.

Speaker 9 (32:13):
How about this extra fifteen percent off there to start
o und one hundred bucks. I'm gonna save you another
fifteen percent and get you free shipping with a thirty
day happiness guarantee. Go to BUYE raycon dot com slash
chad now buy raycon dot com slash Chad. Buye raycon
dot Com slash Chad say fifteen percent right now, buye
raycon dot Com slash Chad.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
If you like talk radio, like Chad Benson likes his meals,
You've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
going in thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff
out there to talk about. There's a new alphabet song.
First they went and changed math to something that makes
no sense to so many people who have kids in
school that are like, why is this math now?

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Math was better before? Who needed to change it?

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Apparently, according to some the young kids today didn't understand
if why and Z in the old alphabet song was
actually sang three letters Y N end Z instead of
just y and Z, and then also lmnop. Apparently some
kids who sang the old song thought that that was

(33:32):
one letter. Somehow, I feel very bad for the parents
of children who would hear elemental P and think that
that's one letter and.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Then like use it in a sentence somewhere.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
They're like, oh, that's elemental P, the one letter that
looks like different things.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
I feel like there's other ways around this, other than
changing something that a lot of us care about.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
But I have audio. I think it's a young teacher
singing the song.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
It is to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,
and it is confusing a whole lot of people.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
This is the brand new alphabet song changed for I
don't know what reason, but darn it, the world changes everything.

Speaker 15 (34:09):
A B, C, D, E, F G, H, I, j K, L, M,
M O, P two R st qu v w x
y Z. Now I never will forget how to say
the alpha.

Speaker 12 (34:28):
Well.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I hate this.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
I hate everything about this. I don't like that she's
clapping either. She's trying to make it the hip hop
version of this song with her little clapping, and I'm
not a fan of that. I'm not saying I'm not
a fan of the hip hop. I'm totally kidding. I
feel like people would write hate mail about this. Nonetheless,
this is dumb. We didn't need to change it. And
maybe maybe there's some version of the old alphabet song

(34:50):
and kids who walk away thinking that element op is
one one letter and helping us understand what kids in
school need a little bit more help along the way.
And it's not changing the song for everybody. It's identifying
that child and asking him what he puts elemental p
in again as a sentence that might help things out,
all right, other things out there that I like. This
is pretty funny, pretty silly too. You can buy a

(35:12):
ninety nine dollars AI companion now if you don't actually
have any friends. This is one road to go. It's
a terrifying road to go for a variety of reasons.
But nonetheless something that apparently more people are doing, which
it is what it is. But yes, this is absolutely
a thing. All right, But we'll take a break in
just a bit. I will come back and we'll talk

(35:33):
about some serious things like Robert F. Kennedy Junior and
a bear. This is the Craig Collins version of The
Chad Benson Show. Chad is back tomorrow. He's a very
hard working individual. I'm very impressed with everything that Chad
does and thrilled anytime I get to fill in with him.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
But I said that correctly. Robert F.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Kennedy Junior plus a Bear is all over the news
today and I'm confused. Probably will be too, But I
have audio. It doesn't make it less confusing. Coming up
in a bit.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life,

(36:50):

Speaker 3 (36:53):

Speaker 4 (36:54):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in a thrilled to
be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about
out there. You might be someone at times who says
neither candidate is someone I want to vote for. That's
not really a new thing. We've said that several times
during elections, and eventually a lot of people vote for
one of the two candidates. They're saying, I don't want
to vote for one of these people. But if that

(37:14):
happens to be you.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
You may have looked into Robert F.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Kennedy Junior again recently, maybe over the weekend at some point,
you just punched his name into the old Google machine,
and the craziest story is going to pop up. That's
everywhere about him and a bear cub and.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Central Park in New York City. I don't even know
how I know why.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
A lot of media is enjoying this story. A bunch
of media, a bunch of left leaning media, sees Robert F.
Kennedy as someone who could harm the Democratic Party more
than the Republican Party. Not because the crazy stuff at times,
or at least what they refer to as crazy stuff
he says, is stuff that would be more popular on
the left than the right, but because a lot of

(37:54):
his base policies are still very democratic. There's a lot
of things he would like to do that are things
that Trump definitely won't do if Trump's in the office.
Things that would say, enhance the amount of government spending
or the size of government in general.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Very basic stuff.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
But nonetheless, because of that, I think that the mainstream
media wants to tear apart Kennedy whenever it can, and
this is one of those times. But it is somewhat
self inflicted because Kennedy recently admitted to this whole thing.
I have audio to play. You know what's funny about
this audio? Two, he can't see it. I know this
is just radio. You can look it up and watch

(38:31):
it for yourself at some point if you'd like. But
it seems that Robert F. Kennedy chose to tape himself
telling this story at a gathering of people, and there's
just one woman who's staring at him and making faces
as he goes through the steps to admit that ten
years ago he was the one who left a bear cub,
a dead bear cub in Central Park in New York City,

(38:52):
something that at the time did actually gain a lot
of attention, and no one knew how it got there.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
But here we go, Robert F.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Kennedy telling a story about a cub that you probably
haven't heard, but maybe you will hear because it's all
over the internet, it's all over a media.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
They definitely are going to cover a story like this.

Speaker 16 (39:08):
Here we go, you know, really early, like seven, and
then in front of me hit a bear and killed it,
a young bear. So I pulled over, and I picked
up the bear and put him in the back of
my van because I was going to skin the bear,
and it was very good condition and I was just

(39:29):
going on and put the meat my refrigerator, and you
can do that in the arc, say you can get
a bear at tad.

Speaker 17 (39:36):
For a killed bear.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
You know what I like about this too.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Actually, by the way, we're thirty seconds in and he
is saying something that's completely legal. He's not breaking any laws,
not doing anything bad in this part of the story,
and he doesn't describe himself as redneck.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
He does that later on in the story.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
But people in say the city of New York, who
would never do any of that stuff probably think of
it as as horrible and terrible in this and that.
But to a large amount of people throughout the the
rest of the country and not the big cities, they
probably don't think anything strange has happened in the story.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yet let's continue.

Speaker 16 (40:07):
And so then we went hawking, and I had a
bear in my car. And then oh, we had a
really good day and we went late. We were catching
a lot of game and the people really loved it.
So we stayed and I instead of going back to
my home in Westchester, I had to go right to
the city because there was a dinner Peter Luker Steakhouse.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
And at the end the specificity in the story too,
is also pretty amazing.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
This happened ten years ago, and Robert F. Kennedy Junr.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
Is able to step in and be like, yeah, we
were going to this steakhouse for this meal after hawking
all day and everybody loving it because we were crushing.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
It, so we stayed later than we should.

Speaker 4 (40:46):
He also says, the dinner goes late, tarn it him
and his popularity, him and his charisma and everywhere he's
going a dinner.

Speaker 16 (40:54):
It went late, and I realized I couldn't go home.
I go to the airport and the bear was in
my car and I leave the bear in the car.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
No, you don't want to do that.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Yes, it would have That's that I thought. Just think
about this, by the way, real quick. If you were
to have found a bear cub in the back of
Robert F. Kennedy's car ten years ago, how that story
would have gone on the internet. But of course he
didn't do that, and the car would have smelled terrible
of the time you get back.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
But so this is a real story. It's I honestly,
you know what I think this is. And I'll play
I'll let him finish it.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
And there's a joke, he tells, and people around him
seem to laugh, But it's just trying to vilify the
behavior of people that you wouldn't understand, that are nothing
like you. For the most part, it's weird. The end
decision here to put the bear cub in Central Park
and and essentially play a prank, which is something he
admits to. But a lot of this is something again
that I say, would happen a whole lot of places

(41:50):
throughout the country. I'm someone who's lived in a lot
of big cities in my life where you don't see
a lot of the stuff that Robert F.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Kennedy Junior is talking about.

Speaker 4 (41:59):
And then there was one day where I was driving
with my wife, this was only a couple of years
ago in part of rural Illinois, and there was a
deer that had been hit by a car off on
the side of the road, and there was a dude
picking the deer up and doing the things that Robert F.
Kennedy was doing to the deer or planning to do
to the bear in order to take meat and bring
it home and whatnot. I remember seeing that and being like, Oh,

(42:21):
I've never seen that before, but thinking to myself, that's
not so bad. That's a reusing of something that's already dead.
You know, this guy's going to turn it into stuff
instead of just leaving it on the side of the road.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
I imagine even the state of Illinois is grateful for
him taking care of that for them.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
But I just find that so interesting that most of
what is being vilified here is a set of behaviors
that is not illegal, not wrong, not any of that stuff,
but just stuff that people knows big cities won't understand.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Here we go.

Speaker 16 (42:48):
You know, at that time, this was a little bit
of the redneckadey. There'd been a series of bicycle accidents
New York day and just put it in the bike
lanes people A couple of people aren't kill And it
was every day, and people, I'm badly injured every day.
It was in the press. I wasn't drinking, of course,

(43:12):
but people were. And I said, look, I had an
old bike in my car that somebody asked me to
get rid of it. I said, let's come put the
baron and Central Park and we'll make it look like
I didn't pay.

Speaker 4 (43:27):
That's a real thing that he did. He put the
baron Central Park, made it look like I got hit
by a bike. I love that he said he wasn't drinking,
but people with him were drinking.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
I know that that excuse never works.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
You tell your miss is that when you when you
get home late after a night out with your buddies,
like I wasn't drinking, but my friends were. It doesn't work.
All right, let's move on to other things. But that's
a real story, and it's all over the news. State
secretaries are demanding that Elon Musk immediately fixed and AI
bought his AI bought.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Gronk or gronk. I can't remember what it's called.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
I always want to call it gronk, and that's not
that's not it after it pushed a misinformation.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
This is according to many people.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
Apparently, if you ask the AI created by ex owner
Elon Musk and billionaire and owner of all this other
stuff too. Of course, whether or not Kamala Harris has
already missed the deadline to sign up on ballots in
about nine states, he usually says yes and the answer
is actually no, that this is not something that has

(44:23):
already happened. You know what's interesting about this. There were
several discussions months ago about how the Democratic National Convention
had been scheduled so late that there were states in
which you had to say that Biden was the nominee
much earlier in order to get him on the ballot,
at least legally. What I find interesting about that is

(44:45):
now claiming that that's not true. That didn't happen no
way at all. But there are states Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania,
Washington that have all demanded that Musk fix this statement
because they are saying that it didn't occur, and also
Minesota's secretary of State is also one of the people
behind this. It is funny to me that there are

(45:05):
so many dumb rules in the world of politics that
you might actually have to deal with something that you
don't want to deal with, that being making sure somebody's
name gets on a ballot when it probably might not
be able to get you. Remember this, this happened during
the primaries, when I guess Biden shouldn't have cared as
much as he did at the time that his name
was nonspecific ballots or couldn't appear on ballots. There was

(45:26):
all that drama about that. Now that he's not even
the nominee. I guess no one cares anymore. But it's
just odd that those rules only seem so significant when
other things are planned. Say, there's always a workaround, I
guess is what I should say in the world of politics,
even so much so that you can just full on
replace your candidate at any time if you feel a
need to do that.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
That's something else that happened.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
But the AP and Reuter's and so many others fact
check this, and they're not always reliable in the world
of their fact checks. I don't think they're perfect in that.
But there are states where this claim is being made
that it is not true. Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas,
and Washington are usually the ones that are referenced here.
All Right, one other quick thing and then I'll take

(46:11):
a break and we'll talk about some other things throughout
the show today, of course, But I do think continuing
to talk about these polls is interesting. Harris has apparently
taken a lead over Trump in massive change from just
two weeks ago, according to a new CBS poll.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
That's a headline.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
That's a lot of places there are misleading aspects to this,
because it seems as though if you're looking on a
national scale for places where Harris has done better than Biden,
it is states that were already likely to be won
by Biden. So just in your mind, think about that
for a second. Biden a deeply unpopular president, someone so

(46:49):
much so that the Democratic Party had to force to
kick him out. They had to force to change who
is actually running so it's not him anymore. And in
doing that, in making that the vision, the only place
where Kamala has really seen a large uptick of people
supporting him are exporting her excuse me, are places where
Biden was already deeply supported, So of course that makes sense.

(47:12):
Of course, the difference between Kamala and Biden is significant
everywhere in the country, but in all the swing states,
Trump is still leading, and in some places he's winning
by like five points or more, meaning beyond any sort
of percentage of error. So I think that there's a
lot of deceptive ways to say the race has gotten closer. Now, granted,

(47:34):
that might actually be something that winds up negatively impacting
Democrats because sometimes we want to count on people just
not showing up to vote because they're so confident their
candidate's going to win and so refuting that fighting that
is something that might actually help more conservatives show up
and vote in an election where they would be shocked
and anyone could beat Trump after he survived an assassination attempt. Nonetheless,

(47:55):
that's the thing. It's out there, it's in the world,
it's being discussed. I find it very interesting. All right,
after a quick break, we'll talk about some things that
are definitely not that serious in nature, including the best
and worst places for your home for an air fractioner,
which I love that someone did a deep dive into
that probably didn't need to, but I have all the recommendations.

(48:16):
And also some fancy pranking involving ram and noodles and restaurants.
All right, all that and more coming up in a bit.
This is Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.
Chad is the hardest working guy in radio. Here he
is with a message about Bullwark Capital.

Speaker 9 (48:29):
Bull Wark Capital buddy' zach abram Chi investment officer Buork
wants to sit down with you, give you a free
risk review, to go through your portfolio, show you what
retirement's all about. Because your retirement is different than your
neighbor's retirement. Maybe you want to take that hobby and
turn it into the second half of your life into
something amazing.

Speaker 7 (48:45):
Maybe you want to lie on the beach and do nothing.

Speaker 9 (48:48):
You want to sell everything, a move and hang out
with your grandkids and be able to live comfortably.

Speaker 7 (48:52):
Maybe that's what you want to do.

Speaker 9 (48:55):

Sweet and tangy, download at Chad Benson Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Boy that it's different because you get a little bit
of fut in this.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
It's so good because it's swinging salty.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
I'd say, hum, got a taste on iTunes, iHeart or
Spotify and binge to your ears content. Oh, you're listening
to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. There are two ways to pay attention to
the Olympics. I think the first way is the traditional way.
You're either watching Olympic games or you're, you know, picking
out specific events. You're paying attention to which country is
leading in the gold medal category and everything else. And
then there's the other way. The other way is mostly
through social media and the individuals who go viral. If

(50:46):
you're doing this sort of thing, I applaud you. I
enjoy this version of the Olympics. You're someone who probably
knows all about the Turkish pistol shooter guy who went
viral because he really looks like hit Man. When everybody
else is wearing all kinds of crazy contraptions and glasses
and things on their face, this dude strolls up with
nothing but a pair of regular glasses on, holds his

(51:06):
gun with one hand, looks and fires, and he gets
a silver metal I think he also want a bronze
in archery. I'm not sure how he fires a bone arrow.
I assume it's similar. I assume it looks like he
barely wants to be where he is. But anyway, that
guy went viral. Now there's another person going viral that's
much harder to talk about on the.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Radio, but I'll do it anyway. The French pull vaulter.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
This guy is going viral because he had an unfortunate
thing happen where he missed out on clearing a fairly
high jump, and it appears in a lot of the
video because of a specific part of his mail anatomy.
It's not true by the way his legs hit first
before anything else hit. But that's a unique reason to

(51:49):
go viral, a unique thing to see a whole bunch
of people post via video. Whenever you hurt yourself as
a dude, the last thing you want is any sort
of video evidence of that, especially in a quite painful
part of the human body. Again, for us, guys sit
on a bike wrong, and you know how horrible this
can be. This guy had a version of that happen
at the Olympics, and people seem to enjoy talking about it.

(52:12):
But that's a version of following the Olympics again, the
viral stuff online that I'm all for, and I assume
you're all for too, and I bet Chad's all four.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
All right, we'll take a break.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
We'll talk about things that are not silliness and the
Olympics and the Internet and just a bit Craig filling
in on the Chad Benson Show. And this involves quite
a few things that are much more serious. As I
said in Nature, Although I do have the worst and
best places to put an air freshener in your house,
I do have a story about a amount of Americans

(52:43):
that are afraid that they're becoming their parents, which is
not as high as I thought it would be. I
do have some dumber, sillier stuff too, that we'll get
to in the next half hour. But okay, fine, there
is a real news out there in the world. There
also is a prank. Seek darn it. I like this
stuff better. There's a prank involving a quote fan, restaurant
and a social media influencer. If you have a buddy

(53:04):
or a friend of some kind who is popular on
YouTube or anywhere else, don't trust them when they invite
you places or they tell you they're bringing you to
fancy restaurants, because it might just be for their YouTube
channel and it might not have anything to do with
actually giving you fancy meals. This guy, I guess in Australia,
I brought people to the opening of a brand new
restaurant and then served them very very cheap food and

(53:26):
they all loved it. I have audio for that that
I'll play too here in a little bit. One other
thing that I do find pretty interesting that's out there
in the world, that is, as I said, more serious
in nature.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
And we'll talk about that just after the break.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Some of this discussion by left leaning media about how
terrible it is that Trump has dropped out of the
debate between him and Kamala Harris, even though the debate
that was set up originally was for him in a
broken brain biiten and Trump gave in on a lot
of things he probably shouldn't have. We'll talk about that
more and just a bit. Craig Collins filling.

Speaker 11 (53:57):
In on the Chad Benson Show, Such Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 4 (54:41):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about first, and this is scary,
as Biden is going to meet with certain individuals within
our own military about a potential for Roan to strike Israel.
In the next twenty four to forty eight hours. Israel

(55:03):
is likely to see attacks by both Iran and Hezbola.
This is because of a growing fears of a larger
conflict than just Israel and their fight with Hamas.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Now.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
Israel is saying they've already been in a fight with Iran,
basically through proxy wars and other things for quite some time,
that this would not be new if Iran decides to
attack Israel again directly, that this is something they're already doing.
That say, the rest of the world is sort of
denying is happening, because that broader conflict is much more dangerous.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
For the rest of the world. I guess i'd say.

Speaker 4 (55:34):
Too, But that doesn't mean that the US wouldn't continue
to support Israel even if it's something that's detrimental politically
here to the far left and their acolytes. It's so
strange that that's true right now, because if you wind
up getting mad that the United States might help Israel
defend itself from an attack from Iran, if that's something
that actually happens in our society, then those people are

(55:56):
standing with Iran in some ways that you don't typically
see in the United States. It's not just standing up
for who you think are you know, unfairly persecuted defenseless
people in Palestine. There are a lot of young children
in that area, So I can find a way to
understand the sentiment, even if I don't agree with the conclusion.

(56:19):
I think it's an oversimplification of a situation going on there.
But to go ahead and do this as far as
to essentially back Iran would be nuts, And yet I'm
expecting it to maybe happen. But this is one reason
to say that who's in charge in the White House
right now matters that an individual who said that they
are not running for reelection after a disastrous debate because

(56:41):
essentially their brain doesn't work. That's not what Biden said,
but it is what a whole lot of Americans believe.
Like the American people voiced their current feelings about Biden
without even voting an election. Because the polls were so bad,
Democrats had to decide not to let him run anymore,
him out, even if he was adamantly saying he was

(57:02):
going to run, because they accepted what the American people
were telling them as all this is going on as
the opportunity for conflict to get worse. That makes the
decision making of our country vitally important. You have Nancy
Pelosi out there on Sunday, I think this was on
CBS A Morning News, telling the world that she thinks
Joe Biden is a mount Rushmore deserving president. This is insane,

(57:26):
and actually there's something that's kind of amazing about it.
Sure CBS pushes back a little bit by laughing and saying,
are you serious, They don't push back harder. Instead, they
go to a canned a bit of this interview with
Nancy that demonstrates just how far to one side of
the aisle they themselves can be at times. But here,
let's go ahead and play on this first, so you

(57:47):
can hear Pelosi say it herself. Mount Rushmore President, if
a conflict gets worse in the Middle East, if Russia
and Ukraine's conflict is nowhere near ending, which it's not
right now, think about the amount of things happened well
Biden was in office, and how could you possibly say
this on a world stage or literally any stage whatsoever.

Speaker 19 (58:06):
Here we go such a consequential president of the United States,
a Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States.

Speaker 16 (58:14):
Want to know what comes next?

Speaker 12 (58:16):
That he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore. Lincoln and
Joe Biden.

Speaker 19 (58:23):
Well, you've got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he's wonderful.
I don't say take him down, but you can add Biden.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
It sounds like you're taking him down. That sounds like
what you're doing.

Speaker 19 (58:31):
So we had big needs for our country.

Speaker 12 (58:34):
If there were a Mount Rushmore for Speakers of the House,
Nancy Pelosi would certainly be up there.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
Oh my god, I love that.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
That is the transition from Nancy Pelosi saying a crazy
thing about Biden, a one term president who's not going
to run for reelection because he was not going to
be re elected, but he deserves.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
To be on sweet sweet Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Into well, Pelosi deserves to be on the Speaker of
the House Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
How many of these are we going to?

Speaker 4 (59:00):
By the way, if we get to that point, I
love the sports debate, debate of who deserves to be
on the Mount Rushmore of athletes. Let's get to that
one first before we do a Speaker of the House one.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
But now I love this so much.

Speaker 4 (59:12):
This is I'm gonna play it again because it's actual insanity,
you know what it is. It feels like if someone
thinks something bad just happened to you and they're being
way too nice, Like say you go to a party
and somebody found out you just got you know, divorced,
or something something negative went down, maybe you went through
a foreclosure, anything bad where everybody around you would know

(59:34):
it's bad, and they're being way too friendly.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
They're being way too nice. They're like, oh gosh, you
look great.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
Look at everything happening good in your life, because they're
just trying to make it go away, and there's something
that's annoyingly fake about it. And it's annoyingly fake here
that Pelosi is trying to say that Biden deserves to
be on Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 19 (59:54):
That's a consequential president of the United States, a Mount
Rushmore kind of president of the Unit States.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
Want to know what next?

Speaker 12 (01:00:02):
That he belongs up there on Mount russiall Lincoln and
Joe Biden.

Speaker 19 (01:00:09):
But you've got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he's wonderful.
I don't say take him.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Down, but you say take him down. But yeah, I
can't keep everybody up there.

Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
He can't just put Biden up in the corner and
make it another president up there. Somehow that doesn't make
as much sense to a lot of us as you
think it does.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
I love this. This is so fake. This should infuriate
so many people.

Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
Now, you know who it should be mad about it
is Biden, But he's probably unaware that it's happening, so
he probably can't be mad about it. And I feel
bad for him for several reasons. That would be one
of those reasons. But nonetheless, I just found that so amusing.
Some other things out there that I think are interesting.
There's a headline a lot of places, MSNBC among them,

(01:00:50):
far left leaning places for sure, about Donald Trump and
his most recent speaking engagements and whether or not he
is quote melting down, breaking down, showing he's panicking in
some way, shape or form. Two things in reaction to this. First,
I don't necessarily think that's true. I think that, by

(01:01:12):
excuse me, Trump is behaving similar to how Trump has
always behaved. He essentially reopened an old feud with a
politician in Georgia. That's according to mainstream media. But the
other thing, and this is probably more relevant to this discussion,
is he is trying to find a way to valuably

(01:01:34):
attack the vice president, very very late in a political campaign,
and after surviving an assassination attempt. That is shockingly out
of conversations about Trump. Have you noticed how rare it
is for people to actually continue to talk about the
fact that he was almost killed. I don't know how

(01:01:56):
that just goes away in the world of politics, like
in the world of anything general. Actually, if you were
someone that survived an assassination attempt, your own family and
friends would be talking about it longer than the media
is talking about a presidential candidate surviving almost being killed
by someone in our world months before the election itself,

(01:02:16):
and there's no real good reason for that. There's no
good reason that this is a topic that just sort
of went away to a lot of people other than
there's no way to spend it as negative with Trump himself.
There are a lot of ways to say that what
happened was horrible, and everyone should be doing that. But
what I mean is mainstream media often finds a way

(01:02:37):
to vilify Trump, even if it's something that he doesn't
deserve or a mischaracterization of what he said. There are
certainly times where Trump makes it easier rather than harder,
for people to go a certain road with him. But
I just find this so interesting or so important, how
little this is being talked about and how much other

(01:02:58):
things are being talked about, because I do have to
be honest, and I started this segment for reason with
the Pelosi audio saying that she thinks Biden deserves to
be on Mount Rushmore. Politics is such a fake place,
such a crap place. I mean, envision yourself being a politician,
showing up for some sort of strategy meeting with your

(01:03:18):
team and talking about all the ways you're going to
use anything and everything that's out there in the world.
For your political advantage, you're gonna shape this story or
change that story, or highlight this thing. I mean, honestly,
right now, one of the things going on with the
Vice president is they're trying to highlight the fact that
she has, you know, black ancestry. They want to make

(01:03:40):
sure that that's the forefront. She is now a black
woman running for office, as opposed to being an Indian
woman running for office, or you know, a woman in
general running for office. None of those things a matter
as much right now. Politically, they're focusing on one aspect
of the human being and highlighting it and going crazy
with it, whatever you want to say. And so I

(01:04:02):
do think that's very interesting that this is just the
world of being a politician, and so Trump has the
ultimate as far as use it optically, and honestly, it'd
almost feel horrible doing it. But there's no there's no
greater demonstration of any of the things that Trump is

(01:04:22):
saying when he campaigns than a colossal mistake, a seemingly
intentional mistake, to fail to protect him and to have
him come within centimeters of having been killed. And I
just I don't know. I don't mean to harp on
that topic. I just can't get over the idea that

(01:04:43):
when you see all these things being talked about right now,
that seems to be something that we're trying to move
very far away from. And I've asked this before, and
maybe I'll just ask it again, and I'll just I'll
leave it at that. I do genuinely wonder if the
amount of horrific news that we see in the country,
news where say, a school is attacked by a loan

(01:05:04):
shooter or whatever it might be, and then politicians of
course turn that into debates about a gun rights, which
is ridiculous because the only people who don't care if
guns are legal or not are going to be the
criminals who want to hurt people, not anyone who wants
to be a law abiding gun owning citizen.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
Someone like me.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
I own, and I'm very proud and very much have
fun with going to the range and using handguns that
I own and would also protect my family if I
ever had to in some sort of horrific situation. Those
are values of being a responsible gun owner. Nonetheless, that
conversation turns into something different, But maybe it is because
of these headlines and then the political debate that falls

(01:05:44):
out after them, that we've become immune or at least
willing to move on so quickly from those sort of stories.
I can't imagine if you're someone that went through that,
that you understand that at all. And I doubt Trump
is the kind of person that wants to I'm saying
this and I mean this, that wants to highlight that
specific thing himself, because I don't think anyone is that

(01:06:06):
type of person that wants to bring up constantly that
they were almost killed, that they had a bullet fly
through their ear, something that people on one side of
the aisle were so angry about that they even denied
it happened. I don't get it, but it does feel
like something that deserves to be in the conversation more
often than it is, and something that can only benefit
Trump politically, as sad as it is to say it,

(01:06:28):
if it is talked about more. All right, I'll take
a break on that. A lot coming up. This is
Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show. But
Chad's the hardest working guy in radio, So even when

Speaker 20 (01:08:04):
Some people don't it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Some people don't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about. Let's play this audio. A YouTuber
invited a bunch of his friends, who were also social
media influencers, to the opening of a fancy new restaurant
that serves Ramen noodles in Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Behind the scenes, he.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
Made the very very cheap instant noodles that so many
of us that went to college know and.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Love quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (01:08:36):
And people loved them because how could you not. They're delicious.
They're also under a dollar to buy one package of
these things, and they were probably not paying a dollar
for them, at least thought they weren't paying a dollar
for them. I think this is kind of funny, and
it also shows that a big part of your perception of.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
The deliciousness of your food not all of it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:55):
I know that there are restaurants that are truly, actually amazing,
but a big part of it might be the surrounding
and not actually the food itself. That is something that
helps make you think that, man, this meal that I
paid one thousand dollars for is worthy of said one
thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
But here we go.

Speaker 21 (01:09:10):
Seven days ago, I created a fake five star Ramen
restaurant and caught it n or translated from Japanese fake Ramen.
We took some photos, set up a completely fake website
and made it TikTok about Niss.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
That went viral.

Speaker 21 (01:09:22):
I started only letting in influencers who had over one
hundred thousand followers. How many photos do you have?

Speaker 7 (01:09:28):
I had to make it even fancy.

Speaker 21 (01:09:30):
We served all of out instant ramen and plant pots,
and even hided DJ to play nature noises.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
But the only thing that really mattered was if people.

Speaker 7 (01:09:37):
Believed it was real.

Speaker 21 (01:09:39):
Would you guys come back?

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
My god, it's so good, it's great, it's amazing. You
know what I love about this too.

Speaker 4 (01:09:45):
It demonstrates how inauthentic pretty much everything is out there
in the world of the Internet these days. All the
influencers who have tons and tons of followers going to
the restaurant and recommending it because they already see it
going viral.

Speaker 3 (01:09:57):
And being recommended on the Internet.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
There's a lot of hilario busness in the actual version
of this, and I imagine anybody who was put in
this now feels that there's a controversy surrounding them about ramen,
noodles and a restaurant, which I also find hilarious for
some reason.

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
All right, another thing out there. I saw this.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
A man was arrested for a really weird and creepy thing.
And no, it wasn't Biden. I was arrested for this.
You might think it is when I play it, But
a Georgia man was arrested for licking and sucking on
women's hair at the mall. I can't change the words
I'm saying. They are the words of a real story.
Here's a bit of audio of people that went to

(01:10:34):
the mall being told about the criminal who was apprehended there,
and that this was a thing that was actually happening.

Speaker 7 (01:10:40):
I don't know of anybody that licks hairs.

Speaker 8 (01:10:41):
That person shouldn't be around other people, know they should.
I would keep my distance from him. And keep my
wife and kids away from him. For sure.

Speaker 12 (01:10:49):
I think it's gross and I think I would have
responded in a way that I probably would have been
in jail today.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
I love that lady if somebody licked or sucked on
her hair, she would have beat the crap out of
that person on that all for it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
Way to go woman.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
This is a weird story, and I do like that
first guy too, is being like, I don't know anybody
who does that.

Speaker 8 (01:11:10):
I don't know of anybody that leaks hairs. That person
should be around other people.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
Yeah, they should not.

Speaker 4 (01:11:15):
They probably should not be allowed outside or anything else
at all. But this is a weird story again where
people had the reaction they did. I do love news
media though, because news media needs a reaction from somebody
in the location at the scene, even if the person
is no connection to it. So if somebody walked up
to you had like a little microphone and a camera
of some kind or maybe a smartphone, you would think

(01:11:38):
this was an internet prank, a YouTube prank like the
other story, But the truth is it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
It was real, and this was real.

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
News media being like, what do you think if someone
came up to you and licked or sucked on your
hair today, and people gave the answers you'd expect them
to give in that situation, including threats of beating the
crap out of a said individual. All Right, one other
quick thing, just to throw it out there. I thought
it was interesting. Seven percent of Americans are worried about
becoming their parents. I'll have more on that in a

(01:12:03):
little bit. But I don't know how that number is
as low as it is, because I feel like it
should be higher. But this is Craig Collins filling in
on the Chad Benson Show, and many many things that
are not as silly as that, but are in fact
serious in nature also coming up. You know, I do
love that kat Con is in the news. This is
the convention where people show up and are happy that

(01:12:26):
they all own cats.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
It happens in Pasadena.

Speaker 4 (01:12:28):
It was over the weekend, and the reason that the
La Times and others are discussing it is because they
think there's political relevance to it connected to jd Vance
and some shirts that cat Con attendees were wearing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
I'll talk about that for real and more in just
a bit.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
Greg Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):

Speaker 3 (01:13:27):

Speaker 4 (01:13:28):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, Thrilled to be
with you a bunch of stuff as always to talk about.
One of my favorite arguments going on right now is
how inauthentic jd Vance is.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
He's a fancy dude, he's a smoozer. He's all kinds
of a smoozer.

Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
I don't know what I'm trying to say here, but
he's all kinds of things, and none of what he
says is really important because all of it is just fake.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Now. The reason I love this.

Speaker 4 (01:13:53):
Is because that is also a way to easily describe
the current candidate for president on the Democratic side of
the isle. Yamala Harris is one of the faker people
you've ever heard speak in almost any way, shape or form.
And I'll prove it in a second, but first I
want to play audio from over the weekend of Jensaki MSNBC,
her whole show and thing, and also one of her

(01:14:15):
guests saying how the thing that's killing Trump right now
is just how fake jd Vance is, which is a
ridiculous thing. Trump is certainly someone who's unapologetic about who
he is. I don't think you'd call him fake, even
if you think that he's somebody who doesn't.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Tell the truth very often.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
He's someone that certainly acts the polar opposite of say,
a polished politician. Here is a little bit of what
they're saying about jd Vance though on the left.

Speaker 22 (01:14:41):
Yeah, well, I think this is where I think both
Shapiro and Waltz do a good job, which is that
they both seem pretty comfortable in their own skin and
they feel authentic. The thing that is killing jd Vance
is that voters and I have listened to tons of
swing voters since he was picked, and they don't like
him at all. They think he seems like a phony.
The only things that they know about him really are

(01:15:03):
how he flip flopped on Trump. But also they just
get it's like vibes right people. Voters can smell inauthenticity,
and that's what Jade Vance reeks of to them.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
By the way, that guest is from a Republicans Against
Trump the organization, So I'm sure that she would have
had nice things to say about anybody else who would
have been chosen as a candidate to be the vice
president along with Trump. She's obviously someone who definitely isn't
motivated by anything you know, untoward or unfair or biases
at all.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Anyway, let's move on.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
Kamala Harris, someone who speaks in literal circles because I
think she doesn't want to be authentic because she's worried
it can somehow be used against her. Also does weird stuff,
and this went viral just a few days ago as well.
This is her at a rally in Atlanta, creating a
faux accent that sounds southern, sounds like maybe some other

(01:15:59):
things are being attempted to hear. This is fake. This
is what fake sounds like and looks like when it happens.
You judge for yourself, and you all helped.

Speaker 18 (01:16:08):
Us win in twenty twenty, and we don't do it
again in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 4 (01:16:15):
Right, of all the things she said just there a
second ago, and this is just a little snippet she said,
twenty twenty foe. And I don't know why anyone who
says twenty twenty four would then all of a sudden
on a stage be like twenty twenty four, it makes
it makes no sense.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
I love how often this happens for Democrats too.

Speaker 4 (01:16:32):
By the way, there's audio of Hillary Clinton doing a
weird version of an accent, and how does this not
offend you more? Just think if Trump did this. I
hate the what about is an argument, but it's so
easy to do.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Sometimes.

Speaker 4 (01:16:45):
If Trump went into an arena with a bunch of, say,
minority voters, and put on some sort of different sort
of speaking accent that somehow seem to be a reflection
at least in his opinion or somebody's opinion of how
some of the people in the crowd spoke, the amount
of media that would attack him for it would be

(01:17:06):
not let's do that one more time, and you.

Speaker 18 (01:17:08):
All helped us win in twenty twenty and we won't
do it again in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
Were going and do it again in twenty twenty four.
I'm not trying to to sound terrible myself. I'm simply
quoting the way it was spoken, something that the vice
president trying to be the next president said. Now to
demonstrate the opposite version of an approach here, Trump also
had a rally. This was also in Atlanta, and it

(01:17:35):
was targeting voters, minority voters, and he chose to bring
what was described by many people online as intelligent black
women into these rallies who speak to the people about
why they support Trump and Vance and why they want
them to win the next election. And you'll notice something

(01:17:56):
also happening here or not happening here, and that would
be some sort of weird accent. And these are black
women that decided to speak on the support they have
for Trump.

Speaker 20 (01:18:09):
But let me also tell you, when I was twelve
years old, I had to watch my father come home
with shards of glass and blood dripping down his face.
From nine to eleven, we were there. I don't want
to be there or hear about another terrorist attack on
our soil that could be prevented. When you allow eleven

(01:18:29):
million undocumented people to walk across our border, you are
allowing an attack to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
It's common sense.

Speaker 20 (01:18:37):
How could you ever fathom allowing someone to even run
for office who doesn't want to even enforce our laws,
who doesn't think it's important to even visit our border.
How is it possible that she makes a joke on
the news media saying, why are you asking me about
visiting the border. I haven't even gone to places in Europe. Well, newsflash,

(01:18:58):
you're running for president of the United States of America.
Take your time and get to learn these fifty states
as many of us have.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Oh that's nice. I like that a lot. I like
a lot of those shots right there.

Speaker 4 (01:19:10):
But again, no faux accent, no attempt to gain any
sort of weird praise from the people that you're speaking to.
Something that is so so commonplace on a certain side
of the politicalle and honestly for a lot of politicians.
And I guess just to repeat it quickly, and I
won't dive into it as long as I did earlier
in the show. It's one of the reasons that I'm
sort of shocked that media is ignoring the fact that

(01:19:32):
Trump was almost killed, and that, you know, ignoring it
now at this point, and that Trump is not trying
to make it a focal point of his campaign, which
is a thing that I think a whole lot of
politicians would do. All right, let's move on. One other
thing I thought was interesting. Cat Con is in the news.
This is a gathering of cat owners in Pasadena at
a convention center. It happened over the weekend, a few

(01:19:54):
people showed up wearing shirts that said childless cat Ladies
for Kamala, meaning that they are supporters of Kamala Harris
and they're trying to take a shot at the cat Lady.
Of remark that Jade Vance made that is so weird
that it's such a focal point of him in general,
The grander point he was trying to make is that
if you don't have children, there are issues that are

(01:20:16):
discussed in our society today that are harder for you
to have as strong of an opinion on as anybody
else because you don't know what it's like to have
kids themselves. I'll go ahead and tell you something about me.
I don't have any kids. My wife and I tried
to have kids. Didn't happen for us. We're religious people,
so we believe that a God somehow was involved in that,
and so it's strange to talk about some of this,

(01:20:37):
to see some of the reaction to this, and also
have the ability to filter some of that discussion directly
through my wife or anyone else that is is childless,
as if that's an accusation of something that you chose
to do or something that somehow happened in your life
in a way that you wanted it to happen. But
even as I say that, I know that I have

(01:20:58):
a different perception then about some topics.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
All of my family members have kids. I have a
bunch of nieces and nephews.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
I know I don't appreciate having a child the same way,
and I'm okay with that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
I'm okay with admitting.

Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
That, with being like, you know what, Yeah, this is
not something that I have the level of expertise on
that i'd want because I don't have the human experience
of it. And so maybe I surround myself if I'm
in a position of power with individuals who can give
me advice and not go this crazy version of how
dare you said that at all? How dare you took
that shot or any version of that shot. You're a

(01:21:30):
horrible person, because it doesn't matter how upset you get.
If there's truth in the statement that's being made, there
deserves to be a discussion about it. And I do think,
as an individual that has no children, that there is
truth in the sentence that I don't understand some of
these issues as well as parents themselves do, and I
need that input I need that version of discussion to

(01:21:52):
go beyond my own human experience. I don't know when
that became a bad thing, by the way, either, like
when we were supposed to be you know what I
think think it is. Let me throw this out there.
In the world of the Internet, in the world of
being able to google any fact on anything and then
pretending as though you always knew it even if you didn't,
maybe there are people out there who get upset at
the idea that they don't know everything. And I don't

(01:22:15):
know who those people are. I'm glad that I don't
hang out with a lot of those individuals. I don't
assume a lot of people listening to this show are
like that. But at the same token, there are people
who just seem mad when you question their expertise on anything.
And a lot of us can admit we're not experts
on a whole lot of stuff, but if you do
it in a way, we're like, Wow, you really don't
know much about that. How dare you, sir? I googled it.

(01:22:37):
I know everything there is to know about this topic.
I know everything there is to know about this discussion.
And you know, anyone who questions me deserves to be
thrown into a pit of wolves. I'm not sure, but
that feels like how we operate in our society at times,
especially the elites of our society, the politicians, the people
who annoy some of us, and so I just I

(01:22:58):
do wonder if that eye product is something that if
someone just went the other way on it and said,
you know what, Yeah, that's a valuable criticism and one
that I'll work to figure out how I overcome without
being able to change anything about my own personal life.
That might go a lot further with a lot of
Americans on both sides of the aisle. If you wanted
to reach across the aisle, and Harris is trying right now,

(01:23:20):
I think there's some sort of Republicans for Harris version
of an organization that she's launching. I don't know how
successful it'll be, but nonetheless, if you wanted to reach
across the aisle, and I think this is one thing
that Trump in his own way has truly done, is
you be different than what you're used to seeing.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:23:39):
Granted, Trump's way of being different probably also makes some
people hate him quite a bit. It's not exactly what
I'm talking about, but just not be the political norm,
not do the politically normal things. Admitting weakness in a
way that is intelligent, in a way that's both accepting
of it but creating some sort of plan of a

(01:23:59):
way to outeract it is something I believe we almost
never get and something that I'd love to hear in
all honesty. And again, I think this might be because so
many people feel like they're experts and everything. I don't
know if you ever had a boss that acts that way,
but I've had bosses before that they can't be wrong.
They walk into any room, it doesn't matter how many
people are in there. It could be one, it could

(01:24:20):
be fifty, they're like, oh.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
I can't be wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
And so you almost wind up discussing something where you
might actually be trying to help the company grow. They're like, oh,
we should maybe be doing this. Here's an idea from
the peanut Gallery. And the version is no, that's a
bad idea, and I'll tell you why. And in the
moment they're trying to think of what the problem is,
which to me is insane. But I think that does
exist well beyond the workplace. As I said, a whole

(01:24:43):
lot of people don't want to be wrong about pretty
much anything. But all right, we have to take a break.
We got a lot coming up on the show. This
is Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.
Chad the hardest working guy in radio though, so when
he's not doing stuff, he's still doing stuff, which I

Hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Hashtag help.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get out.

Speaker 7 (01:26:15):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
This is the Chat Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about. There's a new Hollywood supplement craze
apparently out as ozebic. I don't know if it's out.
It's probably not out yet. But there's another thing celebrities
are going to do now. It is the anti aging
supplemental NAD plus treatments. I don't know what the heck

(01:26:40):
I just said, but I said it out loud into
a microphone, so darned it matters. They're nikked to mine, Adrian.
I'm not even gonna try to pronounce this stuff, but anyway,
it's some sort of thing that you put on your
face that you put all over your body that helps
in DNA repair, immunity, longevity. Jennifer Aniston recently was interviewed

(01:27:00):
by The Wall Street Journal and talked about this. Joe
Rogan is a fan of it as well, many people
calling it the future because it's a way to treat
your face or your body from aging. I don't know, man,
I feel like there's a whole lot of things that
I can just accept in this world for me that
I don't need to try to put whatever the supplements
are or the shots in my body to go ahead

(01:27:22):
and counteract. If I want a better physicality, I might
just show up at the gym more. That would be me,
that might be you, but who knows. And then as
this becomes more popular, it'll be more expensive, and then
there'll be all kinds of versions of it. But good
luck to all of us. As this is out there,
it's the new thing. NAD plus treatments. You go ahead
and check that out your own if you want to.

(01:27:43):
Another thing out there that I saw that I thought
was interestings interesting scientists uncover the physics behind getting a
paper cut. This is a deep dive that you probably
didn't need and that I didn't need, but it's interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
My favorite part of.

Speaker 4 (01:27:56):
This story, though, is one of the things the researcher said,
it was hard to find volunteers who wanted to paper
cut themselves on purpose. Even if a paper cut doesn't
really feel like all that big of a deal, it's
something you definitely don't want.

Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
Ideally, you want more test subjects than we had.

Speaker 4 (01:28:13):
But rather than gaining the heart larger amount of subjects,
they found that some of the issues involve paper that
is too thick or paper that is very very thin.
So either or in that world, pressure applied straight down
was less likely to inflict injury than if you're slicing
at an angle. So don't put your paper at an
angle on your finger, is what they found out when

(01:28:35):
researching paper cuts. I love the stupidity sometimes of science,
and this seems like one of the dumber things that
people studied. But darn it, they did it, and way
to go them, I guess for anyone that showed up
and was involved and got their finger sliced by a
piece of paper and then said you learned something from this,
and then they left with probably ten bucks fifteen bucks
in their pocket, all right, I'll take a break. A

(01:28:56):
lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on
the Chad Benson Show. But before I do take that break,
there are a couple other things that I probably can
tell you about coming up in just a bit. I
do find it interesting the new poll shows a seven
point swing in the presidential race. According to some headlines
out there, ABC News saying that Harris and Trump are

(01:29:19):
now tied five point thirty eight new polling averages. Over
here over there, everybody is screaming about how well Harris
is doing this early on after taking over without ever
getting a primary vote from Biden on the campaign itself. Now,
there's something eerily missing from a lot of this coverage
that you need to know about that I'll dive into

(01:29:40):
a little deeper in just a bit, and it is
actually the closeness of the race in swing states, the
swing states where Trump was leading Biden by so much
that it forced Democrats to shove Biden into a lock
box and leave him there until after.

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
The election is over. Trump is still leading in those
swing states.

Speaker 4 (01:29:56):
The impact that Harris has had is mostly on places
Biden was already likely to win. So if you look
at a national poll and say that things have gotten closer,
you're definitely being disingenuous to how likely it is that
both candidates win the election itself coming up in November.
I think that there's still a lot of data that
says that Trump is in a much better place than Kamala.

(01:30:17):
But darn it, a lot of people aren't going to
talk about that, and why would they, Why would they
tell you actual truth that matters on television? Are in
a news media that's not important. There is also a
viral story about R F. Kennedy Junior and a dead bear.
I might get to that in the next hour or so,
So look, go for both of those things coming up
in just a bit. This is Greg Collins filling in

(01:30:38):
on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:30:50):
A Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):

Speaker 4 (01:31:16):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Chad is back tomorrow.
Wall Street has taken a bloodbath. There's a whole bunch
of bad news coming out of Wall Street today. Stocks
early on in trading dropped significantly. The Nasdaq was down
a thousand points of something that Fox News Business or

(01:31:37):
Fox Business said.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
We've never had before.

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
This is part of the reaction on television to some
of the news they were seeing early this morning in
the world of the Dow or anything else as far
as bad news goes, this sell off is because of
a lack of confidence and what's going to happen in
the future. I don't know how easy it is to
tie these things together for you, but for me it's
prett easy. There's a bunch of reports that Kamala is

(01:32:02):
gaining on Trump, that she might be more likely to
win than Trump in the upcoming election. The importance of
the US economy on a world stage cannot be you know, mitigated,
can't be undersold to anybody. So if you're starting to
doubt the future of the US economy, if a recession,
which has been very likely and many argued we were

(01:32:23):
already in a while ago, just continues, then well you
see a whole lot of this.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
But here we go, we'd call it.

Speaker 22 (01:32:30):
Don't say that you've never been down a thousand points ever,
not even enter day on the now stack.

Speaker 7 (01:32:35):
Is that true?

Speaker 2 (01:32:35):
That is true?

Speaker 23 (01:32:36):
Okay, I'm down six percent right from the get go.
This is heavy, heavy set big tech. Here we go.
Look at them go down. Microsoft is down twenty bucks.
That's five percent, Alphabet five percent, Meta six percent, Amazon
six percent, Apple nine percent.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
That Apple is down nine percent.

Speaker 4 (01:32:54):
They dive even deeper into the Apple numbers, and how
much of all of the reliance on say, the high
spending in the tech world, Amazon, whatever it is, is
actually one of many versions of fear that's bopping all
over the world.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
This matters, and honestly, so many of these things do.

Speaker 4 (01:33:11):
So when Biden before Kamala was writing running on Biden nomics,
there were a whole lot of people out there in
the world that said, why are you doing that. That's
not a smart move, that's not a smart plan, because
the economy is not good for average Americans.

Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
It's very bad for many many people.

Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
When they say that, you know, my day to day
living is not great, my day to day living, going
to the grocery store is more expensive than it's ever been, etcetera, etcetera.
So you have that version of discussion, and then other
people are saying, well, actually, the economy is really great.
You might not be experiencing it, but everybody else is.
And then you see this, this is the version where
nobody's experiencing a great economy. Do you want more of this?

(01:33:50):
It's a simple question. Many people should be asking it today,
as Wall Street is a giant story. Now, as I
say that, there's another story out there that's odd, I
don't know how to say this different that involves Robert F.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
Kennedy Junior.

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
He actually put out on social media himself, him telling
this story to Roseanne Barr for some reason. I'm not
really sure what that is, but it's him, it's Rosanne.
It's a bunch of other people hanging out. Seems like
they're having some sort of nice meal. And as he's
telling the story of him and a bear cub, he
is demonstrating I guess what he thought was going to

(01:34:23):
be a thing that media was going to go after
him for The New Yorker put out a photo with
him and the bear cub. I do have some opinions
about this as a guy that hasn't done a lot
of this myself, but still a person that doesn't really
understand most of this story as being controversial, only a
bit of it being controversial because a lot of places

(01:34:43):
in the United States do this sort of thing. You
might not do it. It might not be something any
of your friends have ever done, which might make you
feel weird. But at the same time, again, a whole
lot of this, as Kennedy points out in his version
of storytelling, not illegal, not wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
We'll get to the point that the weirdest decision he made.
But here we go.

Speaker 17 (01:35:03):
I'm saying, in a group of peoples, okay, up and
coash into York cut the Hudson Valley, and I was
supposed to meet them there like maybe eight or nine.

Speaker 16 (01:35:13):
I was driving up maybe you know, really early, like seven,
and then a woman in a man in front of
me hit a bear and killed it, a young bear.
So I hold.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
On, I just gotta stop it for a second. I
know there's the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:35:29):
I know you can't see this stuff on Borrosann's face
is like, I don't know what I'm watching. I don't
know what I'm paying attention to right now. I don't
know what's happening in the story. But at some point
Kennedy makes some jokes and people laugh at those, but yeah,
it's true. He's driving in the morning in upstate New York,
sees a dead bear on the side of the road
that he says is in good condition, so he wants
to take it. He wants to use the meat, he

(01:35:51):
wants to skin it, he wants to do a lot
of things that a whole lot of people throughout this
country do.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
And again just saying not illegal, not that that matters
to some. But here we go.

Speaker 16 (01:35:59):
And I picked up the bear and put him in
the back of my van because I was going to
skim the bear, and it was very good condition, and
I was just going to and put the meat my refrigerator.
And you can do that in the Ork to say
you can get a bear at tag for a road
killed bear. And so then we went Howking.

Speaker 17 (01:36:19):
And I had the bear in my car and.

Speaker 16 (01:36:22):
Then we had a really good day, really went late.

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
It's your catching a lot of game, and people.

Speaker 16 (01:36:28):
Really loved it. So we stayed late, and instead of
going back to my home in Westchester, I had to
go right to the city because there was a dinner
Peter Luker's Steakhouse.

Speaker 4 (01:36:38):
I do like the amount of detail in the story too,
by the way, and trying to confront media and whatever
reshaping of a narrative that they might do, which I
do like that people talk about that more than they
used to, because it happens all the time. But he
says that he's got to bear in his car. They
go hawking for a while and they're having a lot
of fun. Darn it him and his ability to be charismatic,

(01:36:58):
and so they just keep hanging out. It keeps getting
later and later. The steak dinner, of course, goes long too,
and all of a sudden, Robert F. Kennedy Junior is
stuck with a question many of us will never be
asked in our lives. What do I do with the
bear cub in my car? If I have to get
on a plane and fly out of the city. Do
I leave it for days in the back of the
car and then come back to a very different situation

(01:37:20):
as far as my car and the smell of it
is concerned. If I leave a dead animal in it
for days and I don't have my ticket or whatever.
He said, he got to get to make sure that
this is all on the up and up, it's all legal.
I have questions, I don't have answers. Here's how he
made that decision.

Speaker 16 (01:37:35):
And at the end of the dinner it went late,
and I realized I couldn't go home. I'd go to
the airport and the bear was in my car, and
I didn't want to leave the bear in the car.

Speaker 11 (01:37:44):
Yeah, of course that would have been bad.

Speaker 16 (01:37:49):
So then I thought, you know, at that time, this
was a little bit of the redneck and make there's
been a series of bicycle accident is New York day
and just put it in the bike lanes and people.
A couple of people are kind of killed. And it
was every day people, I'm badly injured.

Speaker 13 (01:38:08):
Right every day.

Speaker 16 (01:38:09):
It was in the press. But I wasn't drinking, of course,
but people weren't drinking.

Speaker 4 (01:38:17):
But I thought this a good idea that never works,
by the way, as an excuse. If you show up
late at night after a night out with your buddies
and you tell the missus I wasn't drinking, but my
friends were and that's why we stayed out late, it
doesn't help you very much.

Speaker 16 (01:38:32):
And I said, look, I had an old bike in
my car that somebody asks when you get rid of it.
I said, let's go put the bear in the Central
Park and we'll make it look like I didn't pay.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
It'd be funny for people to play a prank where
people are seeing something horrible in the news all the time,
and now they see a bear in Central Park and
a bike on top of the bear, and certainly bike
can't do that kind of damage to a bear. Nonetheless,
weird story, a weird discussion, and the reason that this
is out there immediate and being covered everywhere. By the way,
you might think, why the heck is Collins me talking

(01:39:05):
about this filling in on the Chad Benson Show. It's
in the news everywhere that stuff can be in the news.
So this is about as ubiquitous of a story as
you can get. The New York Times as a story
about it, CNN, BBC, people everybody, certainly on the left
at least is writing about this. I don't know if
you'll find it on many places on the right. And

(01:39:25):
that is his explanation of it. But again, I think
this is sort of to vilify some of the behaviors
of some that are not big city people, big city
folk that come across bears on the side of the
road very often. And some of this is also supposed
to draw drum up controversy against someone that the left
does feel is a threat to Kamala Harris, a threat

(01:39:46):
to anyone on the left, because Robert F. Kennedy's policies
are much more aligned with Democrats than they are with Republicans.
But anyway, it's a real story. It's out there in
the news, it's being discussed. I don't know why it
makes me want to do a palette cleanser with you
as a topic before I take a break, But I
saw a story that feels very very appropriate after discussing that,
especially when Kennedy is saying he doesn't want to leave

(01:40:07):
the bear in the back of his car for a while,
because that wouldn't be good, that wouldn't smell so good.
There's actually a story about a fung Schwei expert who
has described the best places to put an air freshener
in your house and the worst places to put an
air freshener in your house.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
I don't know why I was so amused by this.

Speaker 4 (01:40:26):
In your car just anywhere seems like it's a fine decision,
especially you got a bear in the trunk in the
world of your house.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
At the front door.

Speaker 4 (01:40:33):
Is what they recommend as the best place to put it,
so it's a nice smell when people walk in. It's
a smell that fades because of how often the door
is opened and closed, how much fresh air is in
the area. But it's something that it's nice. It hits
you all right in that moment. It doesn't mask the
smell of any of the places in the home that
might need some masking, which I enjoy, but it's the
right spot to be. I don't know if I'd feel

(01:40:55):
as good about that if I noticed the air freshener.
You know, like, if you open the door to somebody's
home and you notice an air freshener right at the
front of the door, if it's not out of sight,
then party you might think, what's going on in this house?

Speaker 3 (01:41:07):
Why does everything smell a certain way that they need
to put this here?

Speaker 4 (01:41:10):
This seems like the inappropriate spot for this, but apparently
it's the best possible choice. Some of the worst places
to put it include the kitchen because the food smell
will clash with the smell of the delicious air freshener,
and then you're just gonna have weird smells. It's sort
of like I guess painting with too many colors. All
of a sudden, it just turns into some mushy, messy

(01:41:31):
thing and not at all what you were going for.
That's what they're saying about this. I don't know if
you care. Bedrooms are another great place apparently to put
air fresheners. I would just put them everywhere, just just
go crazy, go nuts, and see how that goes over
with friends and family too. But right at the front
of the door, right when you swing in, there's part
of me that would be like, I'm in for something

(01:41:51):
in this house, especially if it's Robert F. Kennedy and
he was recently hawking. Then you have no idea what's
gonna happen. All right, I'll take a break. A little
bit more coming up after this. All of that gonna
be less serious than anything I've talked about so far,
because the world is weird and news is weird right now.
But before I take the break, I should tell you

(01:42:12):
Chad Benson is the hardest working guy in radio. So
even when he's not here, he's still here in some way,
shape or form, doing something. I hear he is with
a message about Raycon.

Speaker 9 (01:42:21):
Raycon best earbuds around. Charge my Raycon ready to roll.
I'm gonna go out and play some pickleball today. I'm
probably gonna try to get some golf in if I
have a chance. I've been up for a very long time.
It's kind of my day where I kind of try
to decompress because that's so many things going on. But
you know what the beauty of it is, my Raycon's
are with me. If I go I'm playing pick a ball, boom,
I'm playing golf boom. If I'm relaxing and doing some work.

(01:42:44):
Cut my raycons in fit second to none. They don't
hurt my ears, sweat water resistant, and in this time
of the year with the heat, humidity, I need that.

Speaker 7 (01:42:52):
I'll tell you that right now.

Speaker 9 (01:42:54):
Fast charging, always great, multi connectivity, it's amazing, sound quality
second none. It really is just the best and a
price point that won't break the bank either. So if
you want quality that is just the best made and
feel Raycon, you want fit Raycon, you want sound quality, Raycon,

(01:43:15):
ease of use, Raycon.

Speaker 7 (01:43:17):
I can go on and on.

Speaker 9 (01:43:18):
How about this extra fifteen percent off the area to
start und one hundred bucks, I'm gonna save you another
fifteen percent and get you free shipping with a thirty
day happiness guarantee. Go to buye Raycon dot Com slash
Chad now buy Raycon dot com slash Chad. Buye Raycon

Speaker 7 (01:43:54):
Where don't you months goer The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 18 (01:43:57):
We're independent, all of our thinkers have a seat at
the table, and the voice in the dialogues.

Speaker 10 (01:44:03):
I'll have what she's having.

Speaker 2 (01:44:05):

Speaker 4 (01:44:08):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in, Thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff
to talk about. I do enjoy this topic for some reason.
This is in the New York Post. Apparently people did
a study into how hot you were in high school
and whether that means you're going to have a long
and healthy life. They looked at a bunch of photos
of people in their high school yearbook for their senior year,

(01:44:29):
and then followed their lives. I think these were people
that graduated high school in the fifties the late fifties.
They found one thing to be true. If you were
someone that people thought was unattractive. This seems mean to
put out there in the world, but it's what the
study found. If you were thought to be unattractive in
your high school photo, you had a much higher likelihood

(01:44:50):
of illness and mortality sixteen point eight percent according to
those studied. Other than that, no big difference from anyone,
anyone that was thought of as quote normal or also
highly attractive, I had about the same likelihood of having
a similarly healthy life, similarly healthy aging, all those sort
of things. The only people who did terrible, and this

(01:45:10):
seems like insult injury, are people who also had a
terrible yearbook photos. I don't know if that's actually a
reflection of being attractive or not. What I mean by
that is if you took a lot of photos in
high school, like many of us did, the yearbook photo
every year. I think it also showed probably your state
of mind on how much you tried before you got

(01:45:31):
into said photo, and then maybe your mentality is something
that caused something to be different. Maybe you could have
taken a more attractive photo if you'd put.

Speaker 3 (01:45:38):
A little more. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:45:39):
I'm not really sure how this correlates to that, but
it's odd to choose any one photo of someone, especially
a school version of a photo, and say that that
means something as far as the a physical attractiveness of
someone instead of like a collection of things.

Speaker 3 (01:45:54):
Everybody can take a bad picture. That's what I'm trying
to say.

Speaker 4 (01:45:57):
And no, I'm not trying to overly defend myself from
my high school photo. So I'm not even in my
senior yearbook. I didn't ever go take the photos because
I didn't care. I don't know what that says about me.
I was a rebel. I was one of the not
photoed people, which I don't know what those people got.

Speaker 3 (01:46:10):
I don't think they're in the study at all.

Speaker 4 (01:46:12):
I think they were just ignored another thing out there
I saw that I thought was interesting in the world
of science news, if that's what this is. Toward the
tail end of the show, drinking from a plastic bottle
may be bad for your health. According to a brand
new study, it may increase the risk you have of
blood pressure or other things because of quote microplastics that

(01:46:32):
can enter your bloodstream well drinking from plastic bottles. They
are now recommending that you drink from other stuff, cans, glass,
whatever it might be.

Speaker 3 (01:46:41):
I'll pull back in the plastic.

Speaker 4 (01:46:43):
I don't know if there's any other environmental reason for
a study to say this sort of thing. But you
know what's really funny about these types of stories. My
wife is often adamant on stuff that I don't understand.
She hates red forty. She tells me how it's banned
in Europe and I shouldn't beating anything that has read
forty in it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
Else is not a fan of plastic.

Speaker 4 (01:47:01):
And so when a story like this pops up, and
I'm sure that I'll get scented from the misses at
some point today, a part of me goes, all right,
let's go ahead and talk about this one with her
move away from the plastic bottles for a while or not.
Maybe I don't care enough, who knows, But I do
find it interesting. And whether it's shards or like strips

(01:47:22):
of metal, I shouldn't say shards slivers of metal that
you have in something, or plastic or anything. The micro
version of stuff inside of our food or stuff inside
of our beverages is something that many many people are
now talking about and something that I think a lot
of people are concerned about. And it makes sense because
I don't want any micro stuff to be hidden in

(01:47:43):
any of the things I'm consuming. For whatever reason, that
feels so odd to say. I feel like, out of context,
I could get in trouble for something I just said.
And yet I'm not gonna get a fine. No one's
coming after me from anything like the FCC other things
out there. Just quickly before I get out of there,
I thought this was interesting thing, gen Z is. This

(01:48:03):
is according to the Internet, not me. People done with
wearing bras. They're not going to burn them like generations
of the past, but they don't really like them, so
they're they're not in favor of that. Instead, there's some
other things that might be worn by younger generations, but
the bra is out. The only thing that I love
about that story is go ahead and tell any dude

(01:48:23):
this story, and their only reaction.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
Will be cool, awesome. That's fine. That works for us.
Let's go ahead and keep that going.

Speaker 4 (01:48:31):
Women seem to be much more opinionated than men on
this issue, for a variety of reasons, I imagine. But
all right, that story I love to be a story
that we do to get out of here. Chad is
back tomorrow. Craig Collins filling in on The Chad Benson Show.
And actually, just very quickly, one last thing about this.
The underwire is the problem that I read, And to

(01:48:53):
be honest with you, I know so little about bras.
There's such a mystery to me as as a dude,
that I'm not really sure what the difference is between
those and the ones without the wire. I know they exist,
I'm aware of it, but other than what the changes
are there, I don't know, and I don't want to know. Actually,
this is something I don't want to understand.

Speaker 3 (01:49:11):
Better. More power to anyone out there who feels the.

Speaker 4 (01:49:14):
Way that apparently gen Z fields. All Right, I'm out
of here. Chad's back tomorrow. Craig Collins pulling in on
The Chad Benson Show.
