The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Tragedy, devastation, horror some of the words that describe what
took place last night over the skies of DC, right
near Reagan Airport. It was awful and devastating. We haven't
had a plane crash in years in this country. I

(00:36):
think it's been fifteen years since we've had a plane crash.
And last night you watched an unfold too. Because everybody's
probably seen the video of the Blackhawk helicopter smashing into
the commuter jet that had sixty on board. There were

(00:59):
three on the black It was surreal to watch. It
was because you're thinking to yourself, it's a clear sky,
you're in a helicopter. You're you know, you just got
your your You're supposed to be the one, that black
Hawk helicopter guy that is giving way to the plane.

(01:25):
You're supposed to be the one who's got the visual
kind of thing. And it's a bizarre situation watching it
unfold where it looks like he just flies right into it.
And I mean, you know, obviously the speculation so it
was it was intentional. It was it was this. It
could be a medical emergency. I mean, you know, we're
going to find out all these things. But it was

(01:45):
surreal to watch. It was just you just flew right
into it. Like if you're a pilot in an airplane,
I don't expect you to see what's underneath you. But
you're you're in a helicopter. It's a clear night. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
What the helicopter said that they saw the regional jet.
They acknowledge visual separation, meaning that the responsibility to stay
clear if the Regional jet was theirs, we see it,
we see that they're landing, and we will stay away
from it. We will go behind it. Perhaps they picked
a point of light or they picked an airplane that
was not the regional jet and they thought everything was fine.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's got to be something like that. And then again
the conspiracy theories are out there because you're just thinking
to yourself. You know, there's light pollution, which is which
is a big deal. There's so many I mean, when
you look at the the video, if you haven't seen it,
there's all kinds of stuff going on. I mean, you

(02:47):
have no idea the we think, you know, we see
an airplane Colm here in an airplane there and stuff.
But when you're around an airport, the amount of traffic
is tremendous, and it's it was again, it was a
surreal moment.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
We're hearing communication where the tower told the helicopter that
your traffic is the regional jet.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Do you see it?

Speaker 3 (03:13):
And the helicopter says, yes, we see it, And the
tower says, maintain visual separation from that regional jet. So
the helicopter says they saw the regional jet. The tower said,
do you see it? Tower said, fly behind that regional jet.
And it didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
No, it didn't flew right into it. And again surreal
because when you see it, it's just an explosion, like
very movie esque and you're like, whoa, what, what the hell?
Just how did this go down? And within ten minutes
they're at the Potomac in the river. They're they're going

(03:57):
and doing everything they can to search for were survivors.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
The first call from the tower came at eight forty
eight pm Eastern time. Ten minutes later, at eight fifty
eight pm, the first units were on the scene to
confirm that aircraft were in the water, and then some
three hundred responders to send it onto the Potomac.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
And there're so I mean the lights, the amount of
lights and the amount of cars, the amount of police,
the amount of just it was a sea of flashing lights.
And then of course she get the pictures of the
plane in the water, and it is surreal. Somebody who's

(04:45):
the husband was there to pick up his wife. She'd
just like texted him said she was going to be
on you know. They were landing in like five ten minutes.
And it was again crazy when you think about how
close they were to landing and the question about what
the hell happened? It's going to be asked, and that's

(05:07):
and we're not going to find it out today. I
know a lot of people like that because we always
want the answer immediately. We want it now, we need
it now. It's got to become now, what happened? How
is this intentional? Of course that wackiness is out there.
We want it, we want it. We haven't had a
plane crash in this country in well over a decade.

(05:27):
The safety for all the stuff we've heard. Even my
stepdaughter said last night, what's going on in the air,
And I'm like, there's a lot of noise about what's happening.
The reality is it's never been safer. There have been
a few incidents, but it's never been safer than it
is right now.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
This period in time has been the safest time for
aviation in American history. We have not had a crash
in more than fifteen years. There has been so much
work done over the decades to make aviation safer for
all of us through NTSB investigations, through FAA regulations. But

(06:07):
last night all of that ended, and now we need
to figure.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Out what happened. And it wasn't It was a collision.
That plane wasn't gonna go down without the helicopter hitting it.
And I'm sure we you know, we've heard a lot
of this over the last couple of years, the near misses,
whether it's planes getting ready to take off or planes

(06:35):
landing as other planes are getting ready to taxi. It
has been, you know, by the luck, quick thinking skill
and at times the grace of God that we haven't
seen more incidents and our mind everybody. The worst disaster
in aviation history was in Tenerief. Two planes that never

(06:56):
got off the ground that was foggy, and it was
in the Grand Canara Airport. You had a KLM flight
taken off one way, you had a pan AM flight
going the other way. Five hundred and eighty three fatalities.
So it's close to the airport is where the real

(07:21):
issues may happen. And we've heard a lot again over
the last several years of close calls.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
This is really staggering that this has happened. And there
have been close call after close call involving commercial flights
on the runways of commercial airports, major airports.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
In the US.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
An incident, a spate of incidents that really took off
in twenty twenty three, none of them ending up occurring
with a mid air collision like we have seen here.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I mean, you kind of always thought it was a
matter of time, but just this incident itself, and the
way it looked, and how it was a helicopter and
it flew right in it, just it was surreal.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
The fact that this involved not only a commercial flight
which is equipped from top to bottom with anti collision
technology something called TCASS Traffic Collision Avoidance System mandated by
the FAA in most commercial airliners since the early nineties,
but also the pilots are well trained the aviation system.

(08:21):
Commercial aviation in the US is the gold standard for safety.
We are the example for every other country. The fact
that this happened in DC over near Reagan National Airport,
some of the busiest airspace in the country and one
of these single busiest runways in the National airspace system.

(08:42):
Is really pretty incredible.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I mean it's incredible, yes, And at the same time,
like I said, isn't it just a matter of time
the end of the day. Humans are operating these things,
so they will make mistakes. And I think that's pretty
much what happened here. Infusion, lots of stuff going on.
We don't know anything about the pilot of the black Hawk,

(09:07):
so I even said last night. Could it have been
in a medical emergency. We don't know, but everybody wants
to know today. And that's also one of the issues
that happens is we're more concerned with finding out information,
even if it's wrong, fast, rather than getting it right,
which should be the most important thing, but we in

(09:28):
many cases forget those things. Oh yeah, it's true. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three. At Shedventon's show, it's your Twitter,
your text as well. Love hearing from all of you. Yesterday,
Robert Kennedy Junior had his hearing HHS secretary. Maybe he

(09:52):
got grilled pretty good but lots of grandstanding, lots of wackiness,
lots of just ridiculous things said, case in point, Bernie,
are you supportive of these onesies?

Speaker 8 (10:08):
I'm supportive of vaccines.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Are you supportive of these this clothing.

Speaker 9 (10:12):
Which is militantly anti vaccine?

Speaker 8 (10:15):
I am supportive of vaccines. Well, I want good science.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
And if you didn't see that, and we're gonna get
into it a little bit later, there was Bernie had
props and there were two onesies, ones like kids unvaxed?
You know? On are you supportive of these onesies? Like?
Is this is this really happening right now? Is this

(10:41):
going on? This guy you've brought up to have a
hearing to see if he's qualified to do the job,
and your prop is a onesie that says unvaxed and
you're like, oh you supportive of this? Are okay? Oh
my god? Three? Two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four

(11:04):
to twenty three at Chad Benson Show, is your Twitter
tweet edis text the program? Love? Hearing from all of you?
A lot of stuff to get to. Trump signed a
bill yesterday, first one into law. We'll talk a bit
about that as well. What could we do with the
people that are here illegally, that have broken the law,

(11:26):
and none of the bad ones right, get the worst first?
Where could we put them? We're going to talk about
that as well. And costs for Super Bowl ads gone up?
Wait do you hear how much and how fast they
sold it out? We'll do that as well. Bunch of
other stuff today right here in the Chad Benson Show.

(12:53):
signed a bill that we wish he didn't have to sign,
but he did. We'll talk about that. Tradad Chad Benza.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Chow Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Lancoln Riley should never have been killed. The perpetrator, a scumbag,
had been arrested on multiple occasions and yet continued to
get out over and over again until eventually he killed her.
And yesterday Trump signed the Lincoln Riley Act, and there

(13:32):
were some Democrats who opposed the Act, which again is
mind boggling. The scumbag that did this had been arrested
on numerous occasions by the Feds and state officials from
New York to Georgia. This is why Trump, This is

(13:55):
why people are pissed off when it comes to immigration.
This is why. And when you're out there and you're
a Democrat and you're wondering, this act is going to
be awful because anybody who is in detention for breaking
the law could be deported, blah blah. Again, I have
no sympathy, No sympathy. He had been arrested for motor

(14:23):
vehicle okay, theft okay, oh, trying to injure a child?
Wait what? He had been charged with acting in a
manner to injured a child under the age of seventeen.
It is frustrating in so many ways that we can't

(14:48):
have a real conversation about there are people here that
are bad and they need to be dealt with, And
it has nothing to do with them being some sort
of victimized minority group that's just here wanting to work
and make a better life. No, they're here and they

(15:10):
haven't changed who they were because many of them come
here already as parts of gangs. He was part of
Trinte Agua. They just move from one place where they
don't see a lot of opportunity anymore to a place
where they see tons of opportunity, and that opportunity presented

(15:31):
itself in their mind on that day three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your Twitter, your Instagram, all the other things. Check
out our Facebook page, like and subscribe there Chad Benson
Show TV. To make sure you get lots of other
stuff on the Chad Benson Show. And he took the

(15:52):
opportunity to murder somebody. And the people who oppose this,
the Democrats who opposed this. I don't know what you
think you're getting out of this and who that's for,
but you swung and missed. Speaking of Donald Trump, yesterday

(16:12):
something happened. You had twenty five million bucks a settlement.
What yeah, uh, he got a legal settlement from meta
Facebook Instagram over his accounts being shut down after January sixth.

(16:33):
No way, So twenty two million of that settlement's going
to go to a fund for Trump's presidential library. It's
kind of funny they say that. What. Yeah, He's got
a library. It's going to be some of all kinds
of stuff and pop up books mostly probably some crans
colored by numbers. You know, there's going to be a magician.
There got to have a magician. I just I'm trying
to figure out what a library would be in the

(16:54):
Trump world. What what does this look like? What's going
on in there? Oh my lord? So twenty two million
goes to that, then there is the other three million
that are gonna go for attorney fees and some others
that signed on to the lawsuit. So very interesting. Indeed,

(17:17):
I'm just trying to figure out what the library's gonna
be about. You know, it's gonna be the most visited
one of all time, It's no doubt about that. And
the merch everywhere it's gonna be. It's the Make America
Great Again Library. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your Twitter,
you're missing the show. We got the podcast, Chad Benson.

Speaker 10 (17:35):
Show, Son Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):

Speaker 2 (18:03):
So yesterday, Robert Kennedy Jr. Bobby Junior, Chad, you made
fun of his voice? Yeah, But I do it right,
and I deal it with love. I don't deal with
hate like this person.

Speaker 11 (18:17):
Did up on the Ampive Axer.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
No. I didn't kill from Owens because I did it
want happen to get the measles Backstine, but he had
his hearing, Health and Humans Services Secretary, the man in
charge of it all when it comes to our health. Actually,
we're in charge of our health and we don't do
a good job out of it. And that's one of
the things he brought up yesterday, which I thought was

(18:44):
not just fascinating and very real, but something that's not
talked about the way it should be. You know, we
talk about health a lot on this show because we
talk about everything because we're an unhealthy bunch of mofos.
If we can be honest with ourselves just for a second,
and it's not because we were born genetically with issues,

(19:06):
because that can happen. It's because we choose to be
unhealthy because it tastes better. Let's be real. I said yesterday, Man,
if I'm him in the shape that he's in, I
would have showed up in swimming trunks a tie, and
that's it. That guy's yoked, and I'd look around go

(19:27):
as anybody here even close to being as fit as
I am, as healthy as I am, anybody here anywhere
near that I didn't think so. And while everybody grandstand
and they talk about the one Bernie's talking about the
ones he's.

Speaker 9 (19:40):
Now you're coming before this committee and you say you're
pro vaccine, and yet your organization is making money selling
a child's product to parents for twenty six bucks, which
has fundamental doubt on the youthfulness of vaccines.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Can you tell us.

Speaker 9 (19:57):
Now now that you are pro vaccine, I mean that
you're going to have your organization take these products off the.

Speaker 8 (20:03):
Market, Senator, I have no power over that organization.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Not you've heard of it.

Speaker 8 (20:07):
I resigned from the board.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
That doesn't matter because at one time you may have
been associated with them. You may be running it now.
These may be things you profit on. These onesies. Again,
we're talking about onesies unvaccinated, unafraid is what Bernie's prop
said in one of them, which was hilarious. No VAXX,

(20:33):
no problem the other one. And we're talking about vaccines, Yes,
it's important. Do I think he's anti vax I think
he's got some wacky ideas. I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'm not going to pull punches or because he does
have some wacky ideas, are all of them wrong? No.
Are some of them based in his skepticism that we

(20:55):
need so many vaccines? Yes, that's true that were over vaccinated,
but the props you certainly have power you could make that.
How are you supportive of this?

Speaker 8 (21:10):
I've had nothing to do with you supportive of these onesies?
I'm supportive of vaccines.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Are you supportive of.

Speaker 9 (21:15):
These this clothing which is militantly anti vaccine?

Speaker 8 (21:20):
I am supportive of vaccines. Well, I want good science
and I want to protect.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
But you will not.

Speaker 9 (21:26):
Tell the organization you founded not to continue selling that product.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Thank you, cham Thank you, mister chairman. So what are
the numbers? Because I think it's clear that we need
to talk numbers here when it comes to vaccines. So
I'm going to break it down for you. Keep it simple, stupid,
and understand that we protect with vaccines more than we did,
say when I was born. So I'll go back to

(21:52):
when I was born. So routine vaccines in today's world
from zero to eighteen, that's going to be fifty four
to sixty doses, and we'll cover several things that wasn't
covered when I was a kid. So you're looking at

(22:13):
right around fifty four to sixty not counting the flu shot,
things of that nature. So we go back to the seventies.
So we're gonna get in the way back machine, go
back to the seventies, bell bottoms, big hair, a little different.
So the schedule for a child born in the seventies. Now,
if you're born after seventy two, you didn't get the

(22:35):
smallpox because it was eradicate. But if you're born I
nineteen seventy smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis. That's the DTP for
those of you, five doses, polio three to four doses, measles, mumps,
and rebella one dose expanded to two doses in the eighties.

(23:00):
So that's a lot that's different, there's no doubt. But
in today's world, they they account for a lot of
things that we just didn't because there was no science
and they weren't developed. And that included like happatitis A
and a bunch of things here that you know, you

(23:24):
know for meningitis and certain things that we just back then, Eh,
we got what we got. So is the numbers alarming
for the amount? Yeah, I think there's a question to
be asked there in certain things. Is it all evil?

(23:46):
And bad. No, No, I think vaccines are good, but
I have zero problem asking questions about certain things. And
for all the talk of this in the vaccines and
you're anti science, all of them sitting up there, many
of them unhealthy, ignored the thing that may have been
the most important part of yesterday him talking about chronic disease.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
Would you share with the committee why you are passionate
about the nutrition oriented disease prevention and what you have learned.
I had eleven brothers and says there's dozens of first
cousins praised in a time when we did not have
a chronic disease epidemic, and my uncle was present. Two
percent of American kids at chronic disease. Today he's sixty
six percent have chronic disease. We spend a zero on

(24:35):
chronic disease during the Kennedy administration. Today we spend four
point three trillion dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
That's a lot. Heart disease number one killing America by
far heart disease. One person dies every thirty four seconds
because of heart disease or heart related issues that contribute
to other things that end up eventually killing somebody. How

(25:06):
much of that's preventable. Eighty plus percent of it not
talked about. By the way, they're all concerned about vaccines,
and they're all concerned about a lot of different things,
and it's understandable. Look, he said some wacky things and
he didn't even deny any of that. But the most
important part to me in this thing that was held yesterday,

(25:29):
the circus that is what our politics has become, was this.

Speaker 8 (25:34):
With seventy seven percent of our kids cannot qualify for
military service. When I was a kid, the typical pediatrician
would see one case of diabetes in his or her lifetime.
A one out of every three kids who walks through
her office door is diabetic or pre diabetic. Thirty eight
percent of teens are diabetic or pre diabetic. Aarges and

(25:55):
raids have gone from one in ten thousand to one
and fifteen hundred. We've seen this explosion of autoimmune disease,
of allergic diseases. We cannot live up to our role
as an exemplary nation, as a moral authority around the world,
and we're writing off an entire generation of kids.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Amen. And he also talked about everybody's talking about COVID
and the vaccine and we lost sixteen percent of the
COVID deaths were America, and we're three percent of the
world's population. So think about that. The average person that

(26:33):
died three point five comorbidities, most of them completely unhealthy.
So conversations that need to be had. And maybe he's
not the right guy for the job. Maybe he should
be the you know, fitness guru or tzar. But so

(26:57):
much of the stuff that we see is so rediculous
and frustrating when you have these hearings three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
as your Twitter tweet at as text the program. Ah,
we're gonna have more next hour. Obviously, on the plane crash,
what took place, the accident, the horror over the skies

(27:19):
in DC.

Speaker 12 (27:19):
That search and rescue operation is still playing out frantically
on the Potomac here that is where the plane and
the helicopter collided, both aircraft going down in the water.
We're told that three hundred personnel search and rescue operations
from different agencies are.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Part of this. Right now.

Speaker 12 (27:36):
There are divers in the water searching those two aircraft
that we knew broke apart when they went in the water.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Horrible situation. Indeed, we're gonna have more on that next
hour coming up, though, We're gonna switch it up a
little bit, something that will make you go, damn, that
seems expensive. Do you get money's worth? When it comes
to that. We're talking about the super Bowl because it's
coming up and America will be glued to the television,
and not just for the game or the halftime show,

(28:04):
but for the commercials. Speaking to commercials, Birch Gold, Baby,
Birch Gold. Inflation still there uncomfortably so, oh, wait a minute,
we got a little bit of a weakening dollar. Ooh,
what are you going to do? Uncertainty in the marketplace gold.
That's what Birch Gold wants to help you. They want
to give you a free investor kit. But on top

(28:26):
of that, when you text the word BNS into ninety eight,
ninety eight, ninety eight, they're going to get you out
a ultimate guide to gold. In the Trump era, with
all the things that are happening, all the uncertainties, it's
nice to have something that you can protect your wealth,

(28:48):
your money, your four oh one k, your ira with
and that is gold. In times like these, it is
such an amazing thing to have something that can help
you protect what you're building. So text the word Benson
to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight Today, They're gonna
get you out. The Investor Kit, no heart sales, none

(29:09):
of that stuff, as well as the Ultimate Guide to
Gold in the Trump Era doesn't cost you anything. Text
the word Benson now to ninety eight ninety eight ninety
eight today for Birch Gold. Don't wait for lasting peace
of mind. Text Benson to ninety eight ninety eight ninety
eight today. It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help, I'm trapped
in a hashtag factory and I can't get out. The
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
On Super Bowl Sunday.

Speaker 13 (29:50):
For many, it's the commercials viewers want to see, and
one that's getting buzzed Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan reprising
their scene from when Harry Met Sally for Hellman's Man.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Oh My Gosh.

Speaker 13 (30:02):
Advertisers are willing to pay big bucks for these coveted spots.
Viewership for the Super Bowl expected to top one hundred.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
And twenty million.

Speaker 13 (30:10):
Ad space sold out in November, pushing the price tag
for some thirty second ads to eight million dollars a
million more than last year.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, eight million. How fast it's sold out? And there's
worry because that there's chief fatigue, which happens. I mean
in all sports, there's a we love first of all,
we love great teams, We love dominant dynasties. We also

(30:40):
love to hate them. And I can tell you now
vast majority of America is polling for Philadelphia. Weird, right,
I know, but they are because of chief fatigue. But
to say that, well, maybe we're not going to watch it.
Five million tuned in Sunday fifty five million, one in

(31:07):
seven households had the same thing on was the last
time we all agreed anywhere close to doing something like that,
fifty five million to see the Chiefs and the Bills.
So I don't think it's going to be one of
those things where, well, you know, it's not as many
as No, they're all going to tune in, just like me,

(31:30):
because kind of when who watch the Chiefs potentially make
history and at the same time, we kind of want
to watch them lose, which is weird, right, like we
do that in this country. We hate the Yankees right now?
People hate the Dodgers, Well, Dodge got all the money,

(31:52):
they got all the players, we go through that, yet
at the same time we need them dominant team and
we love it. I mean, look at soccer globally, Real Madrid,
Manchester United. Those are huge, massive teams, bigger than any
of our teams globally, and it's because they built up

(32:15):
that massive dynasty feel to become those things. I mean,
Real Madrid's nickname is the Galacticos, you know, because they're
they're they're the biggest in the world, the universe kind
of thing. And then the commercials, Yes, we will tune
in for that, so I don't think they're going to
worry about whether or not people are going to watch those.

(32:39):
Will everybody get the commercials though, That's one of the
big things, because you've got a lot of people watching
stuff that don't watch regular television, who are going to
be seeing ads that maybe they're not quite sure what
they hell to do with those. We're talking about you youngsters.

Speaker 14 (32:53):
Even when they use nostalgia, they want to make sure
the younger generation can relate to. And this is why
we'll see so mads that have multiple celebrities and older
celebrity and a younger celebrity.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
You got to make sure you get everybody in there.
But that'll be fun and I look forward to And
I don't watch the commercials before because a lot of
them are already out, they're already talking about I don't
want to see I want to see them on the day.
That's part of the fun. You're spending eight million bucks.
You want my balls there, not on the YouTube.

Speaker 14 (33:25):
Just because you spend eight million dollars on a Super
Bowl ad doesn't mean it's going to meet your objectives.
But if you do it well, you can meet objectives
like dramatically increasing awareness.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Eight million dollars. Man, that's a that's a decent amount
of amount of money right there. Thirty seconds, eight million
bucks thirty seconds. That is a you hope right like
we're getting for some companies that are level, I mean

(34:01):
they're really good companies, but they're mid level. Eight million bucks,
that's a that's a decent amount for a lot of
these companies. It's branding. It's not about selling our product,
because you already know what you're gonna get with Budweiser
or whoever, coke, we eat PEPSI. We know what you're
getting it's about branding and name awareness, and for some,

(34:25):
like you know, bud Light, it's about trying to rebuild.
And I think they're taking a run at it this year.
They have them for a few years because they are
trying to rebuild after the whole Dylan mulvaney thing. You know,
be funny if Dylan was in one of the commercials,

(34:48):
Like I myself don't drink, so it doesn't matter to me,
but to have the knees to go, all right, here's
the deal. Because Peyton Manning's in the a bud like commercial.
Let's have Peyton throw a ball to Dylan. I would

(35:09):
sit there and go the ball's enough to do. That
may may earn a little bit more respect. Just putting
that out there people are having a little fun. We
can do that on a day where obviously very serious
and all the things that are happening out there. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson's Show,

(35:32):
is your Twitter tweet at us texta program Love hearing
from all of you right here on the Chad Benson Show,
and obviously last night.

Speaker 6 (35:44):

(36:04):
last night all of that ended and now we need
to figure out what happened.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
And it wasn't a crash because of malfunctions of the airplane.
There was obviously an issue with the Blackhawk and what
took place there. We're going to talk about that a
bunch of other stuff to get to in the second hour.
If you're listening to your Brad the podcast, it is
the Chad Benson Show.

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

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Tragedy last night. Lots of speculation because that's what we do.
We like to speculate. It's kind of become a sport
in the United States and the world, especially online about
the collision between the black Hawk and a small commuter
jet that left Wichita, Kansas, heading for DC and just

(37:18):
over Reagan a collision. Chief Johnnillie, who's heading up the
rescue efforts, has changed that.

Speaker 15 (37:25):
Now they're now to point where we are switching from
a rescue operation to a recovery operation. At this point,
we don't believe there are any survivors from this accident,
and we have recovered twenty seven people from the plane
and one from the helicopter.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
So sixty four total between the helicopter and the airplane.
And of course the why, how what took place? We
all want answers fast, because that's the world we live in.
We want immediate gratification of our worries, are concerns, are thoughts,

(38:04):
and as we all know, while there's visual stuff out there,
the question that's being asked is how in God's name
did this take place? At a time when you've got
sophisticated aircraft. You have got visual because you're in a
helicopter and it's clear outside, so you would think, hmm,

(38:26):
how in God's name did this happen?

Speaker 3 (38:29):
The Army helicopter contacted the tower and they said we're here,
and the tower said, do you see the regional jet?
And the helicopter said, we see it, and we accept
visual separation. What may have happened, They may have seen
something else, another helicopter, another aircraft on final but they
believe that they were clear of the Regional jet, and

(38:49):
for some reason, this black Hawk helicopter thought they saw
their interval, They thought they saw the traffic, and they
clearly didn't.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
No, and people that fly around there will tell you
it can be confusing. You have light pollution. It's one
of the things right where there's lights everywhere and you're
not Did they get confused because of that?

Speaker 3 (39:08):
We're hearing communication where the tower told the helicopter that your.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Traffic is the regional jet. Do you see it?

Speaker 3 (39:18):
And the helicopter says, yes, we see it, and the
the helicopter says they saw the regional jet, the tower said,
do you see it? Tower said fly behind that regional jet.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yeah, why didn't happen? And that's what everybody wants to
find out, that's the big Why was it done on purpose? Confusion?
Most likely? Confusion, follow the wrong plane most likely and crash.
You know, when you're in really thick fall a dust

(40:00):
storm and you're going to pull over to the side
of the road, what do they tell you turn your
lights off? Why? Because people will get behind you, and
maybe the plane got behind some other plane. Not quite
understanding that wasn't the plane you're supposed to be behind.
Sean Duffy, who is the Transportation Secretary, speaking today about this.
Imagine this you took over less than forty eight hours

(40:22):
ago and you're having to deal with this immediately.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
We have early indicators of what happened here, and I
will tell you with complete confidence, we have the safest
airspace in the world.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
And that's what people want to know. How safe is
it out there, because we've had a lot of near
misses and people are concerned about that. But we haven't
had a crash in fifteen years, so we're doing pretty
damn good. This was a tragedy, an accident by all accounts.

(40:59):
I mean, that could change. I'm just gonna go out
there and say this probably was just an accident a
human air because when humans are involved in things they
were air at times, they will make mistakes, and unfortunately,
this mistake cost the lives of sixty people. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(41:20):
twenty four to twenty three at Chadmnson Show, is your
Twitter tweet at as text the program? Meanwhile, Donald Trump
froze and on froze.

Speaker 16 (41:28):
In a two sentence memo the administration rescinding this freeze
in funding, but the White House is still insisting that
the President's planned to identify spending that doesn't align with
his agenda, things like diversity, equity and inclusion programs, climate initiatives,
and foreign aid, that that will still be rigorously implemented.
They're basically just saying that they're not going to do
it with this federal freeze that sparked so much chaos.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
That did spark some chaos. That's what I said yesterday, Man,
so much. Let's let's here's something that I think we
can all understand. So much of life is communication, and
so much of what ends up happening where people get
angry or things go sideways, is because the communication is poor.

(42:14):
So something that could be cleared up with a phone
call isn't cleared up through a phone call. It's a text,
it's an email. You talk to somebody else who then
relayed something but is not quite what And rather than
coming out and saying, all right, here's the deal, what
ends up happening is everything's lost in translation and it

(42:34):
grows to something it shouldn't And that's totally what happened here.
So the Press secretary. She goes out there and she
talks about some stuff, and then this happens where they
freeze everything, and then nobody's really sure what's being frozen,

(42:55):
what's not being frozen. It was poorly done, but it
did raise awareness to oh my god, you're serious, right,
you're thinking about like stopping some of these things and
going in there and look it. Yeah, constitutionally he couldn't
have done it. But tell you what, it's very interesting.

(43:16):
I like the fact that we're going to be taking
on certain things and actually diving in. And as I
said yesterday, man, name another business that runs this way
where it continues to fund things that do not work
and continues to get money. Education is a perfect example.
I don't know if you're aware of this. We got

(43:37):
our test scores. H oh yeah. In fact, if our
mom saw this report card, she'd be pissed. We might
get whacked. We're not doing well. We continue to throw
money at it. We're going to break that down in
a second.

Speaker 17 (43:53):
American children are getting worse at reading, according to new
national test scores, but they are making some gains in math.
The nation's latest report card for the National Assessment of
Educational progress released this week shows kids are continuing to
lose ground when it comes to reading skills. It's a
slide that started before the COVID nineteen pandemic and has

(44:14):
only gotten worse every two years. The test is administered
to fourth and eighth graders in all fifty states. In
twenty twenty four, only sixty seven percent of eighth graders
scored at a basic or better reading level, the lowest
it's ever been since the test started being administered in
nineteen ninety two, and only sixty percent of fourth graders

(44:35):
scored at a basic or better reading level.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Not a record low, but close. My god. So as
I'm reading through all this yesterday, I'm like, wow, And
this started before COVID. So the COVID excuse is going
to work because there was some of that right people
at home, kids at home not getting what they needed. Okay, okay,

(45:01):
I'll give you a little bit of that. The brain
needs to be you know, it needs to be worked.
We all know that's a muscle. Let's get it going.
So I expected a little bit of that, But this
is pre COVID slip, and then COVID accelerated that. But
we're past that.

Speaker 17 (45:18):
Now compared to twenty twenty two. Reading scores fell and
average of two points at both grade levels. But there
is good news. Eighth grade students' math scores remain unchanged
from twenty twenty two, while fourth grader's average math scores
went up two points, and experts say the divide is
wider than ever, with the highest scores racking up more

(45:41):
points while the lowest scores fall further behind.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
We got to do better. We need more money. You know,
it's funny you say that when it comes to more money,
because I think everybody's like, if only we paid teachers
like they do in places like Finland where they get
all this stuff and data. I understand. I understand some

(46:06):
of these nations around the world pay really damn well.
That's according to many memes I've seen American teachers. They
don't get paid very well. Is that true? Because I
like to know the truth, because I heard we spend
a lot of money. We never spend enough. We don't.

(46:26):
Nobody spends more money per pupil than we do. Nobody does.
We spend so much per pupil it's insane. On average,
fourteen to sixteen thousand per student. That is higher than
the OECD average of ten thousand per student. That's the

(46:48):
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. So these are the
thirty eight Advanced economies. Some countries spend a lot life
get better results. Finland, Japan, What well they got to

(47:09):
pay their teachers a ton, right, don't they pay their
teachers way more? So that was all I've told this
all the time. Hey, their teachers so much. On average,
we are second only to Germany when it comes to

(47:29):
average salary. They average about seventy five thousand. We average
sixty five thousand. Our workload higher, and our class sizes
are bigger. We continue to throw money at something that
doesn't seem to be getting any better, and we're always

(47:51):
told we need to give more. So when Trump says
we need to question some of these things and look
into some of it, I'm one hundred percent behind it
because I would like to see some results. I think
most of you would. A dumb population is not a
thriving population. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
You know. One of the things that interest me yesterday
off the education report and we were just talking about
the amount of money we spend and I think how
we get told all the time how we don't fund
enough for this, and we don't do stuff enough for schools,
and that, by the way, is all a bunch of crap.

(50:12):
And we've got problems with education. One of the big
things they talk about though. When you go look at education,
you break it down for real. We spend a ton
of money on facilities and administrators, so much money on administrators.

(50:33):
It's become the administrator state, as we always talk about
now the deep state, it's mid management state. When I
was a kid going to school, we had a principle
and a vice principal. Now it's like you got a principal,
four vice principals, thirty seven other people that are middle

(50:55):
management making as much, if not more than the tea teachers.
And I'm like, my goodness. But one of the other things,
and maybe the most alarming thing that I saw, was
the fact that twenty one percent of adults are illiterate
and fifty four percent of adults can't read above a

(51:18):
sixth grade level. I was like, what, so think about that.
There's ten of you in the room, two of them
are illiterate. I hang out in a different room than you, Chad.
I'm just using that number there and like a situation,

(51:39):
right what you're thinking about? Oheah, Okay, there's ten of
us in the room. That's that's mind boggling. But several
of you have chimed in talking about how bad it is.
Nuts and that's why when you hear colleges are having
to send kids who've graduated from high school through medial

(52:00):
classes three two three five three eight twenty four twenty three,
I'll say that slower for you out there who struggle
three two three five three eight. Chad, you can like
and subscribe on our YouTube please do we appreciate it
when you do that. As well as that, you can
also check out our other socials. Was at Chadbinson Show

(52:22):
x Instagram chatmanson Show seven on the TikTok as well.
We appreciate it when you do all of those things
right here on the Chadminson Show. And when it comes
to spending in higher education, by the way, it's not
even close. We spend so much on higher education. It's
double when it comes to higher education in our spending.
So when you hear people say we just don't spend

(52:43):
enough on education, wrong, wrong, wrong. Now, yesterday it was
all kinds of things going on with immigration. Linkoln Riley
Act was signed by the President, which I think is great.
This insanity of you know, it's so bizarre that you
have people out there who were against this act. Well,

(53:06):
they're going to come down hard on all immigrants. It's like,
you know what, horrible human beings that have come into
our country illegally do not deserve your sympathy. But then
on top of that, Trump's like, I got another idea.
We've got a place where we can send some of
the worst of the worst, Guantanamo Bay.

Speaker 18 (53:26):
President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the Department of
Homeland Security and the Pentagon to start expanding migrant operations
at Guantanamo Bay. Now his borders are Tom Holman said,
that he expects that Immigrations and custom Enforcement would be
running this operation and that they would be flying migrants
down there.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Yeah, so they've got thirty thousand beds. There's still fifteen
of the nine to eleven terrorists down there, but they're
not going to be mixing. They're going to fly down there.
They got thirty thousand beds and this is supposed to
be the worst of the worst. And one of the
reasons that we've taught talked about repatriating some people who've
done horrific crimes is we don't trust their country there

(54:06):
to hold them, which means they'll just boomerang back. So
is this the alternative? It's very interesting three two, three, five,
four three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter tweet
at us text the program more straight ahead of the
Chad Benson Joe then.

Speaker 10 (54:21):
Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:42):

Speaker 2 (54:44):
It is now not a search for survivors, but the
recovery operation going on now. And it is a awful situation
when it comes to that. According to many reports out
there after the horrific accident in the collision last night

(55:05):
of a black Hawk helicopter and a small commuter jet
that left Wichita flying to Reagan International in DC.

Speaker 19 (55:17):
What it's being described to me is gruesome that they've
been finding the bodies, that the collision broke the plane
into at least a couple of parts. The helicopter can
be seen a short distance away. This source described that
the helicopter may have been upside down at one point.
Just devastating details. Also the sources describing the situation where

(55:41):
because of the state of the bodies, there will be
some complicating factors in terms of the body count.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Which is what we know is are sixty four I
believe sixty three sixty four you add three on the
black Hawk helicopter and sixty or sixty one on the
commuter jet, including many that were part of the United
States figure skating team. And devastating, And there were family

(56:11):
members as there is to come pick family members up
who are coming, friends who are arriving from Wichita to
DC and getting to the airport and basically being ushered
into another room so you can find out the news
of what took place. Just sickening and of course seeing

(56:35):
what took place now, which is everywhere. They're going to
do everything they can for the family members are flying
them in, they're setting them up. They want to get
this many answers as possible, as does everybody else. Sean
Duffy's new transportation secretary, says he's not going to sleep
until he finds out what took place, what happened. And

(56:56):
we again, if you watch the video, it's flying the helicopter,
it's talked to air traffic control, and by all accounts,
it just keeps flying straight right into an airplane and

(57:18):
we're like you and I can see it. And the
confusion is did you not see it? Did you think
you were following a different airplane? That's the question that
needs to be answered because there's going to be the
conspiracy theories, and I've seen plenty of them, and they're
boring and they're ridiculous, and it is asinine and stupid.

(57:42):
But people love to think that they're going to be
able to solve some sort of mystery that nobody else
can solve, because they're just better than everybody else, because
you know, they know that there's a grand conspiracy for everything,
and for the rest of us, we want to know
what's safe up there it is. We want to know

(58:05):
was this an accident? Or deliberate. We want to know
all the things, and we want it as fast as possible,
and that includes everything. We have a shooting somewhere, and
then it doesn't matter what it is. They are just
certain things because as human beings, innately, we want to
feel like we have some sort of control or understanding
of a situation. That many of us will be in

(58:29):
that situation and it will never happen to us, but
we do want to understand it. You know, I was
talking the other day to a couple people. This is
like this in every way. Are wont to understand or
to know the full story, because as human beings, we
want to know could we ever twist off and do

(58:50):
something crazy? How many times does this happen? You hear
about somebody who dies at or about your age, and
you want to know what he die of? Oh good,

(59:10):
he was hit by a bus because mortality. As you
get older, you think about things like that more and
more that you didn't when you were twenty three and
you had no responsibilities. But when you hear about somebody
who dies suddenly, or somebody twist off and does something heinous,

(59:33):
could that happen to you? You want to try to
figure it out in your mind, come to reason with it,
understand it, and that's just nature. That's a natural thing
to do. I know, you know, it's like flying. I'm
not a big fan of flying. Not because I don't
like flying, by the way, I don't like crashing that stuff.

(59:56):
But it really kind of started to weird me out
when I had kids. You know, when you're twenty four
and I'm flying all over the world, I didn't care.
I've been in I've been in some of the worst.
I mean, you know, you hear about turbulence and stuff
and air pockets and dropping. I was in one. We

(01:00:18):
were heading to l Passo from lax and I was
playing soccer for Well. At the time was the highest level.
We didn't have the MLS yet. It was the USL,
which is still around. It's the division below the MLS,
but it was the highest at that time. And we
were flying Southwest. Back in the day when Southwest. Can

(01:00:39):
I just say this, this is when Southwest had it
was like come as you are, sit where you want
kind of thing. And they had in the back of
the airplane an area where the seats would face each other.
So me and my buddy Abby no Abby that was
his name. He was Nigerian, hell of a baller. We

(01:01:03):
were in the back and we hit it air pocket
so bad that it tossed everything around. The little thingies
came down and I was like, oh, you know, I
didn't care because I've been in a bunch of those.
But it was really bad, like we had people had
to be taken off when we landed, and it'll pass it.

(01:01:24):
Because it was just out of nowhere. It didn't bother me.
But mortality hits different when you are older, You've got kids, responsibilities,
and it started to weird me out because I love
my kids so much. So a thing like this, we
all want to know. Is it safe to fly? It
is This is the first time we've had an accident
in fifteen years. But flying is one of those things

(01:01:48):
too where control is involved and you have none of it.
Even though many men believe that should something go wrong,
they could land the airplane, and I think we know
that's not true. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson's show, is your
Twitter tweet edis text the program right here on the
Chad Benson Show. Meanwhile, you guys want to get hat.

Speaker 20 (01:02:11):
This is such an interesting study as cannabis is used
more widely across the nation. You know, study shows in
twenty twenty two that more than seventeen million people reported
being daily users of cannabis, whether that be smoking it
or eating it. In this study, it looks to see
how it affects our memory. This is one of the
larger studies that we've seen on this subject, over one
thousand participants and they gauge whether or not they were mild, moderate,

(01:02:33):
or severe or heavy users of cannabis, and they found
that those who had heavy use had deficiencies in their
working memory. That's the type of memory that we use
to follow directions, when we use our short term memory,
for example, to have an immediate response in the middle
of a conversation, writing down a grocery list, looking in
your rear view mirror and remembering what you saw and
then driving. These are the important parts that we use

(01:02:55):
for everyday activity. And it seems as though sixty three
percent of those who were heavy users had decreased brain
activity in the areas of our brains that helped us
with working memory.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Now, when you say heavy use, I think of Stoner's
wake and bacon kind of thing. That's what I think.
So memory, I know, this is probably a shockra for
some of you. If you abuse the weed, the weed
I wanna a lot, you don't have good memory. Now.
The other question is if you did it one time,

(01:03:28):
partake in the sticky ikee the Devil's lettuce reefer, but
you don't anymore, is there still an issue with your memory?

Speaker 20 (01:03:39):
Many people said, do I get my memory back? If
I had a history of having heavy use in my
child or my younger years for example, and my older years,
does that memory come back? And unfortunately, so, it shows
that those effects from chronic use, just specifically with heavy users,
were persistent through time. Now, this study is relatively limited.
Although it's the largest one, it's still only a thousand people.
And it seems as of the majority of those who

(01:04:00):
were affected were men up with limited education, So that
also makes a difference in terms of the outcome. But
still enough to be said. More to learn about this
subject as we see more and more use.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Of it, more and more use of it because a
lot of people are limited education, poor folk, poor stupid men.
You know who you are. You don't have a good memory,
and you make poor choices. Could that have something to
do with it? It is possible three two, three, five, three eight,

straight ahead. Are you kidding me? You want to do
what to this guy? Wait? Do you hear this story?
It's crazy Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Welcome to Chat. No, not the country, the institution, the
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
This is insane. This is an overreach. This was obviously
somebody having fun with their kid. It is not child abuse.
And the fact that it even being investigated that way
is asinine. In stupid Texas, we gotta do better than this.

(01:06:48):
And I'm talking about the man who took his little
kid baby wrapped up in snowy outfit outside after the
big freeze came through, remember all the snow and everything
and the Arctic blast. He's got snow on his car
and he uses the kid kind of like a like

(01:07:09):
a squeegee with the snow. Now, the kid's not naked,
kids all in snow gear and everything, and it's a
maybe three four months old, And of course it went
on the internet. I think he thought it was funny.
I did too. I didn't think it was anything crazy,
but not in today's world. In today's world, we need
to get CPS involved and we may have to come

(01:07:31):
down on you.

Speaker 21 (01:07:33):
Child Protective Services confirms to KFDM it is investigating a
case in which a man is shown on TikTok video
wiping snow off a car windshield using what appears to
be a baby. Folmont attorney Corey crunshawts saw the video
and was outraged as many of you are. He called

(01:07:53):
Port Arthur PD, and Chief Tim Duraso says they are investigating.
Durroso says they went to the man's apartment on Golfway,
spoke with him and saw the baby, who appeared to
be okay.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
He was outraged as many of you were. Why why
are you outraged? Is noting to be outraged about. It
was obviously him having fun with his kid. But Chad,
it was child abuse. Wasn't child abuse, It wasn't. It
was nowhere near that. It was hilarious. Let me picture

(01:08:29):
of this. If you've not seen the video, the snow covered,
you know, on the car, and he's just like, oh,
just use the baby to wipe all the snow away.
But it's so dangerous and the kid, oh my god, outrage.

Speaker 21 (01:08:41):
Many people who've watched the video say they thought it
was a doll. Now the chief believes the baby in
the video is real and is less than a year old,
possibly only a few months old. He says they're detective
in patrol lieutenant observed the baby, who is okay? Chief

(01:09:02):
Durasso telling us this morning that they're working on the
case and will turn it over to the District Attorney's
office at some point soon, possibly early next week. Chief
Durusso says that they'll likely be pursuing a charge of
child endangerment.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Child endangerment? Are you blank and kidding me over that? Sorry? No,
that's at what point do we go? This is ridiculous, right,
We're not doing this? This is well, ye have it
look what he did outside in the cold? Who would
do something like that? Kids? I'm gonna share little something
with you that may make some of you uncomfortable out there,

(01:09:38):
you butt puckers who think you got to have your
kid with you twenty four seven three sixty five protected
from all things? How about this? You ever been to Scandinavia,
great place. I've been there in summer and the winter,
and I will say, the first time I saw it,
I thought, well, that's a bit odd. It's freezing out here.
Why are all these babies lined up sleeping outdoors?

Speaker 22 (01:09:59):
In Scandinavian home homes and even in kindergartens, the kids
actually sleep outside for nap times in almost all kinds
of weather. It is very common to have to supply
your school with an extra outdoor sleeping pram for your
child so they can take their daily nap outside in
temperatures all the way down to minus twenty five degrees.
This Nordic tradition of allowing children to naugh outdoors is

(01:10:22):
deeply rooted in culture and practical considerations.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Well, well that's child to be, as we're going to
get over there. They don't really do that, do.

Speaker 23 (01:10:30):
They, Scandinavia. We put our babies outside to sleep in
the prom still do that in Finmark, so we.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Are you really? Yeah, we do. Babies are taken out
in the cold.

Speaker 23 (01:10:40):
In the snow, in frosty rain, everything. My two boys
have been sleeping out in winter because it's like very
good for them and they get a better immune system
and get resilient.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Pseudocode so they will have less codes.

Speaker 23 (01:10:56):
Have heard people coming from the USA and vein sub
crazy put their babies outside and prompt and beat them
there and then they go inside and drink coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
On the cafe. It's crazy because you'll be walking down
the street and you'll see praym by the ways, like
just think of it as a stroller, even walking down
the street and they're five ten like baby strollers, and
you look, there's a bunch of babies in there. They're

(01:11:25):
all sleeping and it could be freezing outside, No big deal.
They'll let their kids at times sleep overnight outside in
the freezing Why because it's good for him. They're bundled up,
it's good for him, fresh air, the whole nine yards.
This guy does a TikTok video where he wipes away

(01:11:46):
some snow on the back of his car and they're like,
we should probably take the kid away from him? Are
you blank and kidding me? Come on, do a little
bit better people. The fact that there was even investigation,
I'd be like, are we being serious right now? Yes?
Yes we are? Oh good God. Three two three, five,

here on The Chad Benson Show coming up hour three.
Obviously more news coming out about the collision last night
in DC? What took place? Conspiracy theories? Which was the

(01:12:32):
one I saw last night though within minutes it was
Barack Obama was on the helicopter. I'm just like, how
do you get there? How do you get to that
point where you that's what you're going with For some people,
you're selling something as far as you want likes and
clicks in the whole nine yards, and for other people

(01:12:53):
who buy into it, you got some problems. I'm just
putting that out there. Three two three, five three eight

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
This is the Chad Benson Show. The Chad Benson show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Tragedy, absolute tragedy, and now the questions. What happened? Clear night,
normal night. A plane that took off from Wichita heading
to DC, coming in on its final descent into Reagan,

(01:13:55):
when it is struck by a helicopter. It is now recovery,
no hope for survivors, is the way they're describing it.
And everything seemed to be okay. So what happened?

Speaker 24 (01:14:07):
We have not seen a crash like this in years,
and certainly right here in.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
Our nation's capital.

Speaker 24 (01:14:13):
This is something that no expert expected to see here.
And when you're looking at this, everything appeared to be normal,
as that American Airlines jet was actually approaching.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
DCA, and by all accounts, it had nothing to do
with the jet. The jets seemed to be doing the
right thing, going to the right place, handling the business
the way they're supposed to handle it. But there was
something with the helicopter that seemed to understand what it
was supposed to do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
We're hearing communication where the tower told the helicopter that
your traffic is the regional jet.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
Do you see it?

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
And the helicopter says, yes, we see it, and the
the helicopter says, they saw regional jet, the tower said,
do you see it? Tower said, fly behind that regional jet.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
Was it confusion? Was its? I mean, like, that's that's
the thing. What was it that took place? Where did
it go wrong with the helicopter pilot training exercise?

Speaker 10 (01:15:22):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Was it the lights of the city? Did you follow
the wrong plane?

Speaker 24 (01:15:27):
The question is what was happening with the helicopter because
it was in a normal flight pattern, we're told by
the Secretary of Transportation, But at one point the air
traffic controller actually said, hey, do you see the plane
in your sight? And they said, yes, we see the plane.
The plane is in sight. So at that point we
don't know what happened after that. Were they looking at

(01:15:49):
the right plane where they disoriented because of the lights
and the night sky.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
Which is a possibility very much so. Martha Radditts was
talking to a black helicopter pilot discussing kind of what
happens when you're flying, especially at night in certain areas.

Speaker 25 (01:16:08):
It is just a very very difficult thing to do
to fly a helicopter at night. You have to be
aware all the time. And with those lights, what they
the kind of light you would see as you go
into the city, he said, sometimes it is difficult to
distinguish between what it is you want to see and
perhaps the lights of the city.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
Again, it's tragic, and it is a situation where because
we live in a world where while we hear a
lot of stuff about planes, the fact is it is
extremely safe. I mean, we are the safest in the world,

(01:16:51):
as many people say, we're the gold standard of all
of this stuff when it comes to flying, when it
comes to just about everything, we're the gold standard. But
it doesn't mean that there haven't been some close calls,
because there have been. But then you start thinking, oh

(01:17:11):
my god, is this something that's going to happen all the time.
It doesn't. We think so, because again it's top of mind.
We hear about Boeing and all these issues they have,
We hear about this, we hear about that. And even
last night, one of the most surreal things was watching
people on other airplanes who were supposed to be coming

(01:17:32):
into Reagan livestream themselves saying they're taking us to another
airport and then they're showing that they've got those little
TVs on and CNN is covering an airplane crash that
happened where they were headed, which was again very surreal.
I was like, what the hell is this all about?

(01:17:53):
But is it safe? Yes? It is. Again, this is
rare to say, to say this is rare, I mean,
that's that's understating how rare this is.

Speaker 6 (01:18:04):

(01:18:25):
last night all of that ended, and now we need
to figure out.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
What happened, because this wasn't a plane crash where the
plane came down or for whatever reason mechanical air air
when it comes to the pilot, this was a situation
where the plane was brought down by a collision. And

(01:18:48):
we've heard a lot over the last couple of years,
in particular because we are flying, we are doing so much,
especially after COVID, and a lot of that is how
many times stuff almost happened when it comes to in
and around the airport, and pilots will tell you that's
the most dangerous thing because there is so much traffic

(01:19:10):
when you're in the sky and nothing around. But this
is where stuff nearly happens. And I go back to
and we touched on it the first hour. The worst
aviation disaster in history were two planes that never got
off the runway in ten a Reef And what ended
up happening was you had a PanAm flight and a
KLM flight opposite ends of the runway, and it was devastating.

(01:19:37):
Almost six hundred people died and only sixty survivors. The
thing never got off the runway. And this is a
situation where this was close. People were texting their family
members saying that they were going to be there in
just a little bit.

Speaker 7 (01:19:51):
This is really staggering that this has happened. And there
have been close call after close call involving commercial flights
on the run ways of commercial airports, major airports in
the US. An incident, a spate of incidents that really
took off in twenty twenty three, none of them ending
up occurring with a mid air collision like we have

(01:20:12):
seen here.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Yeah, because they're close. Was it a matter of time?
I think we can all recognize, look at your human
beings at some point in time. Was there going to
be something like this that it could happen? Absolutely, but
they are very rare.

Speaker 7 (01:20:31):
The fact that this involved not only a commercial flight
which is equipped from top to bottom with anti collision
technology something called TCAs Traffic Collision Avoidance System mandated by
the FAA in most commercial airliners since the early nineties,
but also the pilots are well trained the aviation system.

(01:20:52):
Commercial aviation in the US is the gold standard for safety.
We are the example for every other country. The fact
that the happened in DC over near Reagan National Airport,
some of the busiest airspace in the country and one
of these single busiest runways in the national airspace system,

(01:21:12):
is really pretty incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Yeah, it is. Didn't take c and an long last
night before they're like, you know, this is probably Trump's fault,
Like what it's probably his fault? Did he was? He was?

Speaker 9 (01:21:26):
He?

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
Wait? What how'd you get there? Well, because you know
there's a transition, and you know you hate America.

Speaker 11 (01:21:32):
Look, it's January twenty ninth. We are just nine days
out from a presidential transition and administrative transition. The FAA
administrator resigned at the end of the Biden administration, so
there is no permanent confirmed FAA administrator right now. This
is going to be a time when there's going to

(01:21:52):
be a lot of public communication and a lot of
investigation of what happened here? What do you anticipate This
transition period is going to mean what happens today and
tomorrow and in the coming days as we find out
what happened here?

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
What? What do you anticipates? Canna happen? Nothing because there's
not a head of the FAA doesn't mean like dude,
we don't have a boss. None of you guys have
to do your job. Let them all fly around. Oh
goodness to me, this is why, this is why you
just keep fighting the good fight, just hoping and praying.

(01:22:28):
Saw somebody days like this is gonna be the toughest
test for Pete Hegseth. You know, he was probably a
part of this because of the you know, it's a
black Hawk and he's in charge of that now, so
he probably ordered I mean, you know they didn't say that,
but you just get where they're going. We don't need
the conspiracies. We don't need the blame. We don't even
know what's happened outside of seeing the helicopter goes straight

(01:22:52):
into the airplane. We don't know anything other than that
why it happened. We have no idea but to try
to already start laying blame because well, there's a transition,
and you know Trump has now taken over and the
fa guys there not anymore. So obviously you know that

(01:23:14):
means that they're just going to smash into each other
because everybody who works at the FAA is just not
going to pay attention anymore. Is this is so stupid?
You're an idiot? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is your Twitter, tweet,
atus text the program. I do love hearing from every
single one of you. Got some tax coming out as well.

(01:23:37):
Yesterday I'm going to get deeper into a little bit
of immigration in a bit. One thing that did happen
yesterday was Trump going, hey, Guantanamo, we got bets there, right,
we do something with them.

Speaker 18 (01:23:53):
President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the Department of
Homeland Security and the Pentagon to start expanding migrant operations
at Guantanamo Bay.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
Now his borders are.

Speaker 18 (01:24:04):
Tom Holman said that he expects that Immigrations and custom
Enforcement would be running this operation and that they would
be flying migrants down there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Thirty thousand bets Guantanamo remember getting the worst first, and
so this will be interesting to see how this plays out.
There are still fifteen, I believe fifteen of the terrorists there,
so they will not be interacting with them. Put that

(01:24:35):

the horrifying crash in DC, the collision near Reagan black
Hawk helicopter collided with the American Airlines jet horror. The

(01:27:25):
best way to describe it. Tulca Gabbert, Guantanamo Bay, Christy
no Dallas Cowboys. Good for them, trending. It's probably not good,
but hey, you're making noise. That's really all that matters.
Sean Duffy, who yesterday was made and sworn in as

would be this. Taylor Swift, Caroline Lovett. That's all on
Yahoo Google. Number one training thing obviously the plane crash DC,

throngs of photographers around her just sits there. He goes, good, God,
really really like that's that's that's you guys got nothing

(01:29:17):
Tanya Harding may be our most famous skater white trash

my lord, I can't believe you said that. I just again,
I'm not trying to be mean. She is a bit
white trashy. I think we recognize that her and Jeff
Galuley her as the Galiley. Do you remember that? Like

(01:29:40):
how insane? Like there's some things you look back like.
We were talking the other day the Challenger, So thirty
nine years since the disaster that was the Challenger with
you know, Christian mccauliffe and all the kids at home
watching it are at school, and that was horrific. But
then there are also other moments where we're like, that
was the most surreal thing ever. And when she, Nancy

(01:30:02):
Kerrigan got hit in the knee, it was so surreal.
You're like, what what the hell happened? Somebody tried to
break the America's Sweetheart Ice skaters knee with a pipe.
Here's she's on the ground, wiry? Why not you? Why

(01:30:25):
should it be me? Got very nice, just to get
surreal as it gets some things in life. You look

Chad Ventson shows her Twitter tweet at US text the

(01:30:47):
program it is the Chad Ventson.

Speaker 27 (01:30:49):
Shown Chad Benson Joe The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
It is during one of those days. There is no
doubt again, plane crash goes down, tragedy. We can sit
here and throw out all of the words. Now it's
just figuring out what happened. The one thing about America
and the West, But really us is when something goes wrong,

(01:31:44):
When things like this happen, there is nobody better on
the planet of figuring out what went wrong and how
do we fix it. Now human air could have been involved.
We don't know exactly what this is. We're learning more
and more about the helicopter pilot and the crew and
who they are, where they were from the Army.

Speaker 17 (01:32:06):
You'd involved with Bravo Company, twelfth Aviation Battalion at Fort Belvoir.
It was an annual proficiency training flight.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
That's Pete Hegseth sober in this, by the way, talking
about who they were annual flight training mission. Why didn't
they see what they saw? Could they see what they saw?
But look clear out there.

Speaker 17 (01:32:31):
It was a fairly experienced crew and that was doing
a required annual night evaluation.

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
They did have night vision goggles. So again we're learning
more about this, but there is no survivors and now
is the time when they go and they do the
awful side of it, which is the hope and prayer
that you find somebody that survived, and then it goes

(01:33:01):
from rescue to recovery.

Speaker 19 (01:33:05):
What it's being described to me is gruesome that they've
been finding the bodies, that the collision broke the plane
into at least a couple of parts. The helicopter can
be seen a short distance away. This source described that
the helicopter may have been upside down at one point,
just devastating details. Also, the sources describing the situation where

(01:33:29):
because of the state of the bodies, there will be
some complicating factors in terms of the body.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Count, which is absolutely just again, it's so tough and
sad because watching it on the cameras that were out there,
because you think about this is Reagan, It's DC. There
are cameras everywhere. There's probably no more camera surveiled area

(01:34:03):
maybe in the country outside of maybe a corner to
New York City or something like that, because of where
everything is proximity to, you know, the capital and everything.
And then watching the helicopter fly into it, why is
the big question that everybody's gonna have, And you know,

(01:34:24):
are we gonna find that out today? No, we're not
unless it was something so obvious that we're like, oh, well,
I can't believe it. But I don't think that's the
case here. And it may take a few days, it
may take a few months to figure out why did
a helicopter with an experienced crew fly straight into a

(01:34:47):
commuter jet in one of the busiest airports in areas
in the country. And it seemed to be a normal night.
Nothing that seemed to be too distract Was it just
a human error? Was there something else? We will find
out three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to
twenty three atch had Benson show to your Twitter, your Instagram,

(01:35:10):
all of the other things. Uh, obviously there are some
issus with immigration. Talked earlier, Trump Guantanamo Bay, thirty thousand beds.
We're going to send the worst of the worst there.

(01:35:33):
But the conversation for the left, they want to keep
it at you're going into churches, you're going to schools.
You're terrifying everybody. This is what this is what the
goal was to terrify the world.

Speaker 4 (01:35:43):
And ap NORC Center poll finds that eighteen percent of
respondents strongly or somewhat favor the arrest of undocumented immigrants
in churches or schools. Adolphotea said, the Texas State Republican
Executive Committee is among them.

Speaker 22 (01:35:56):
If they agree to enter this country without the proper
doctor documentation, then they're also going to break any other laws.

Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
Sixty four percent of those taking the same survey said
they are strongly or somewhat opposed to immigration arrests in
sensitive areas.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
I am. It's a mixed bag for me. Obviously. If
there's a bad person you're chasing, they go in there.
I don't care if they're a citizen or not a citizen.
You go in and get them. It doesn't matter what
it is. Do I want them kicking in the doors
of churches or dragging kids out of school? That's not
gonna Can we just be honest. Might something like that
happen once in a great while. It's possible, but I

(01:36:34):
don't think it will again. I could be wrong. But
do I want them going into churches? I want them
to be able to, but I don't want them. If
that makes sense. If you tell them we're never going
to go in the church, right, so you're never going
to the church. Nope, never going to go in the church. Well,

(01:36:56):
if I'm trying to get away from immigration or what,
I'm going to go to the church. So if you're
never coming in ever. But if the thought is, even
if though you're thinking I would never do it, if
the thought is you could, well that changes everything. And
as far as schools even the other day, was it Pritzker,

(01:37:18):
whoever comes out and says, oh, yeah, they came to
school and they scared all the kids and da da
da da da, And you know that didn't happen. That
did not happen. That was a lie. It was secret
service there for something else that had nothing to do
with immigration. But that's all the media needed to hear. Wha, jeez,

(01:37:41):
look what they're doing. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (01:37:45):
Until now, dropping off the kids at school meant making
sure they had their backpacks and lunch money. Now citizenship
documents are in the mix.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
Parents are concerned that ICE is now going to come
onto school grounds and attempt to arrest immigrants.

Speaker 4 (01:37:56):
Attorney philled David Ortega.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
They've always been allowed to do that. It's just been
there policy that they wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
He's working with Arizona school districts grappling with a new
edict from Washington.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
And you've also got Oklahoma now saying that you got
to potentially show your papers when you're bringing your kids
signing them up for school kind of thing. I mean,
this is this is where we're going. But I go
back to the you allowed immigration to get so bad.

(01:38:29):
You allowed immigration to get so awful, You allowed immigration
to be so out of control that it is now
the pendulum is swinging, and as pendulums tend to do
where you hope it gets to, in many cases it
goes right by, and then it tries to reset. The
goal is how do we reset it in a real way.

(01:38:50):
We're having honest conversations about what are we really going
to do with millions of people that are here that
we're not going to get rid of because if we're
honest with ourselves, we can't even afford to do that.
We don't have the manpower or the money at this
point in time, and what might that actually do to

(01:39:15):
our economy? And it's having an honest conversation, which most
people don't want to do because it seems to be
like everything in this world now it's all or nothing.
It's like you must do everything, get rid of every
single person, or screw it all. Well, no, that's not
the way it works. The world isn't black and white

(01:39:35):
like that. It's gray. There are millions of people that
are here. They want a better life. They came here,
they've made a better life for themselves and yes, somewhere
in the back of their mind they knew that there
was always the chance that they could get caught and deported,

(01:39:57):
and now they're thinking about it more than ever before.
But to think that we're going to go out and
apprehend I don't even know how many people are talking anymore,
twenty twenty five million. The thing that we're going to
go do that is we're fooling ourselves. What it would

(01:40:18):
do for our economy. I mean, there's a lot of things.
It's not just a it's not one of those zero
sum games. There's a lot of things that go into this.
So I for a second don't think that the question
is how do we go and reconcile with ourselves that

(01:40:42):
we need to figure out a pathway here for people
that are already here to allow them to stay. What
does that look like? Kind of penalties do they pay?
I mean, these are the things that we're going to
have to think about when it comes to all of
this stuff. For the people that are here that have

(01:41:04):
not done anything, that have not broken any laws outside
of coming across the border, they've not done any of that,
that's the question I think that we're going to have
to reconcile with ourselves. We're gonna sit down and have
a real conversation in our government and with the American
people on how this plays itself out. And I think

(01:41:24):
there is a way for Trump to do this that
would probably anger some MAGA people, and at the same time,
I believe the long game would be a much bigger
win for Republicans. But it's how do you do that
and frame it? So, this is what we're doing, and

(01:41:47):
this is why we're doing it, because while I know
in my mind what should be done, and I think
most reasonable people probably feel the same way, convincing certain
groups of people that this is what has to happen
and this is why it has to happen, that's a

(01:42:09):
whole nother story, I mean. And this goes back to
all of us being able to, if we have to,
in a situation like this, challenge our beliefs. But the
reality is we're not producing kids. We are not above replacement,
meaning we have to have a certain level of replacement
to replace the people that are dying, but most importantly

(01:42:30):
the people that are retiring, and to replace them in
the workforce so we can continue to have the social
programs and all the other things that are out there,
and we're not doing that, So that's one of the things.
So these are all conversations that need to be had. Unfortunately,

(01:42:53):
there's too many people out there who don't want to
have this conversation because the politics of it isn't going
to drive with their beliefs, or the politics of the
fight is more important than the solution, which is in
many cases all too often what happens with every single
issue that's out there. Three two, three, five, three eight,

(01:44:22):
up straight Ahad, Chad Benson.

Speaker 28 (01:44:23):
Joe serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:44:38):
It's Chaddenson.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
We're not too far away from the super Bowl, the
big Game, and people will tune in to watch that.
I don't know if you're aware of that. Fifty five
million tuned in to the Chief's Bills, and I know
a lot of people tuned in because they want to
see if the Bills can finally get over the hump
and beat the Chiefs. Because there's some Chiefs fatigue and
we tend to do this. Players get hot, teams get hot,

(01:45:02):
and we love it, we write it, and then after
a while we're like, hey, I want to see somebody else.
And the Chiefs are in the position where a lot
of people are rooting against them. So that was a
massive fifty five million people tuned in a lot more
for the Super Bowl. But it's not just the game
or the halftime show that people are tuning in.

Speaker 13 (01:45:21):
For on Super Bowl Sunday. For many, it's the commercials
viewers want to see. And one that's getting buzz Billy
Crystal and Meg Ryan reprising their scene from when Harry
met Sally for Hellman's Mayonnaise.

Speaker 2 (01:45:34):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 13 (01:45:35):
Advertisers are willing to pay big bucks for these coveted spots.
Viewership for the Super Bowl expected to top one hundred
and twenty million. AD space sold out in November, pushing
the price tag for some thirty second ads to eight million.

Speaker 1 (01:45:50):
Dollars, a million more than last year.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Wow, and sold out fast fast. In fact, if you
dropped out today, they got somebody snap that up right
now big time. They could probably have a bidding war
for the last one. I bet you they get ten
for it. Now here's something you got to be able
to pull everybody in. You're gonna have fifteen year old

(01:46:16):
watching it, You're gonna have ninety year olds watching it.
How do you do that? How do you bring the
folks in? How do you bring them all in together?

Speaker 14 (01:46:26):
M Even when they use nostalgia, they want to make
sure the younger generation can relate to. And this is
why we'll see some ads that have multiple celebrities and
older celebrity and a younger celebrity.

Speaker 2 (01:46:43):
So you're probably gonna have YouTube stars and twitch stars
and Twitter stars along with movie stars. So you're gonna
have the nostalgia of generational folks there, which will be
very cool. There's gonna be a lot of AI commercials,
which is a big deal because when you're thinking you're

(01:47:05):
spending eight million bucks, you want to a get it right,
but b if you can save a few dollars, that
doesn't hurt either, because you're spending eight million, Which is
pretty damn cool that you can use AI in a
way that And and you guys know, I'm a big
proponent of AI. I think AI is amazing. I think

(01:47:27):
it's arguably the greatest achievement in human history as far
as an achievement. That being said, there's been a few
swings in missus as we know with AI, but it's
getting much much much better and cost efficient. You're spending
a lot of money and you want some return for
your dollars.

Speaker 14 (01:47:46):
Just because you spend eight million dollars on a Super
Bowl ad doesn't mean it's going to meet your objectives.
But if you do it well, you can meet objectives
like dramatically increasing awareness.

Speaker 2 (01:47:58):
Which is what you want in some cases. Some cases,
here's the thing. When we've got endorsers, you guys know,
the rough greens and prize pictures. If there's a cald
action for some of these big companies, and many of
the ones that are going to advertise here, vast majority
of them, it's about branding. It's about brand awareness more

(01:48:18):
than anything else. And and and for some it's about
a little bit of forgiveness and come on back. Bud Light,
I said earlier because of the whole thing with Dylan
mulvaney and the bud Light. If I was them, I
would have put Dylan mulvaney in one of the commercials
and I would have had Peyton Manning toss the pass

(01:48:42):
to Dylan. I thought that would have been funny. I
think some people have went, you know what, good on
you for trying that. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show. Is
your Twitter tweet at his text the program out here
in The Chad Benson Show. We wrap it up here. Obviously,

(01:49:04):
the big news with all that's going on is what
took place last night over DC and the colliding of
the black Hawk helicopter and the Commuter jet, and now
over the next forty eight hours or so, trying to
figure out exactly how this happened, what happened to the pilot,

(01:49:25):
was it a human error? Was there more to it?
So much to probably sift through here in the next
few hours, let alone next couple of days. But a
tragic day to say the LUs. You guys have a
blessed rest of your day. I know we're going to
do it again tomorrow because that is what we do.
I see you Friday night Night Chat.

Speaker 1 (01:49:45):
This is the Chad Benson Show.
