The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk
about in the world, and yet one of the biggest
things I think that happened was a sixty minute story
last night, which I don't think I say as often
as you might have felt like you used to about
that program. But they did a long form discussion about
Germany and about the lack of free speech or freedom

(00:41):
in general that exists in that country. You know what's
really interesting about this, this coming just a couple of
days after JD. Vance, Vice President Vance goes and says
two German leaders and European leaders to their faces that
they are doing something that we wholeheartedly disagree with. That
there's a corruption aspect and a you know, vilifying free

(01:04):
speech and criminalizing free speech aspect of what's going on
in that country that we obviously stand against. He was
then ridiculed by a bunch of these media outlets, and
I have some crazy Margaret Brennan audio I'll play in
a second two for saying that. But then sixty Minutes
comes along and demonstrates how over the target Jade Vance
actually was.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
This was very very interesting. That's clear.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Is it a crime to insult somebody in public? Yes, yes,
and it's a crime to insult them online as well.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
Yes, the fine could be even higher. Yeah, if you
insign someone in the internet, why because in internet?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
For a second here what's crazy to me too. Sixty
minutes is doing this story and the woman that's asking
the questions is smiling as she's hearing from German prosecutors
that they think that a crime is more significant if
it happens online in the world of offending something.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
That it stays there.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
If we are talking you face to face, you insult
me and sold you okay, finish. But if you in
the internet, if I insawed you or a politician.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
That ticks around forever.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
If somebody posts something that's not true and then somebody
else reposts it or likes it, are they committing a crime.

Speaker 7 (02:20):
And the case of reposting it as a crime as well,
because the reader contstinguished whether you just invented this or
just reposted it.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
This is insane.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You have to agree that this is insane, and I
imagine most people in our country do and in all honesty,
this is all you need to start to push that
fine line. This is the moment in the sand that
you cannot cross, to push that fine line to authoritarian
you know, dictatorship, control of everything, a version of society that.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
You see when you take away free speech.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
And the reason I mentioned Face the Nation as well
is because there was an inner view that happened between
Marco Rubio and Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that
was also insane. And this is the type of argument
that I think you'll see made more and more often
by that certain side of the political aisle, or by

(03:17):
people that are trying to enhance the position that free
speech is something that can be infringed upon. And it's
downright terrifying in how the virtue signalers, the people who
think they're high and mighty, the people who are so
self righteous that they believe that this is the right
course of action that they'd actually say this that a

(03:37):
journalist or well they haven't been journalists for a long time.
Someone who's supposed to be a journalist would advocate against
free speech on television news.

Speaker 8 (03:47):
But here we go, Well, he was standing in a
country where free speech was weaponized to kentuct a genocide,
and he met with the head of a political party
that has far right views and some historic ties to
extreme groups. The context of that was changing the tone

(04:10):
of it. No, and you know that that the.

Speaker 9 (04:12):
Censorship disagree with specific Now I have to disagree with you.
The free speech was not used to conduct a genocide.
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that
happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and
they hated minorities, and they hated those that they had
a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
There was none.

Speaker 9 (04:33):
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were
a sole and only party that governed that country. So
that's not an accurate reflection of it.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Of course, it's not an accurate reflection.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
It exists so often now in media where they say
these things and compare a Trump to people who literally,
you know, conducted genocide. Here's what's important to me about
all this, the discussion points and how we go about it.
The intelligence of you. That's the way I would like
to say it. The average person in these media places

(05:04):
that believes that free speech has to be shot down
or that it has to be censored on social media
or somewhere else, believes that you're stupid. They believe it
so strongly, in fact, that they think of themselves as,
you know, grandiose enough to be the only one that
can tell you what true is and what false is
and you can't figure it out without them, that they're
that important to our society when they're evidently not, especially

(05:28):
not in the world we live in today, but haven't
been for a long time. And I and a lot
of other people respect the intelligence of the average American.
Whether or not that sounds like a crazy thing to say,
I don't know, but I do. I think that we
can figure out what's true and what's false, and the
idea that you can't, that you're stupid, that you're a moron,

(05:48):
is the kind of thing that even snl Over the
Weekend had their fiftieth year anniversary show, and one of
the characters they brought back was Tom Hanks playing a
racist Trump supporter on a television show called Black Jeopardy.
What I think is so ridiculous about the entirety of

(06:08):
what I just said there that being a real sentence
is there's this desire for people to find hate when
there's disagreement. That's a desire that people have. I can't
just disagree with you. I need to out you as
someone who has hatred in your heart because we disagree.
And if I can out you as someone who has
hatred in your heart, then I have to listen to you,
and God forbid I do that. I don't want to

(06:30):
do that at all, even if I don't agree with you.
Just the idea of listening is too difficult for some
people to fathom. So these sort of things exist, these
sort of things become the way we talk about this crap.
And then Margaret Brennan goes on television and claims that
free speech created Nazis and it's actually insane. And I'll
go one step further, and I don't really like saying

(06:51):
it this way, but I can't help myself.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Sometimes I like to take on an argument against.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
The other position or the other political side, or whatever
you want to call it by accepting something that I
know isn't true in order to demonstrate how ridiculous their
position is. That's at least my attempt here. So if
I were to pretend that free speech has had negative
outcomes in our society by itself, not that something else
played a part beyond free speech in bad things that

(07:20):
happened in our world, then I would tell you that
the track record of free speech is still significantly overwhelmingly good,
and that it should always be the case, and restricting
access to things like that is always a negative. There's
a track record that's profoundly worse in the world of
you can't have free speech anymore for your own good.

(07:40):
And it's just crazy that we have that world where
we talk about these things and live this life now,
and so many people in these spaces are, as I said,
as pompous and arrogant enough to believe that they're the
only one who can tell you what's true and what's false,
and you can't be trusted to do it on your own.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
All Right, I'll move on from that.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Another thing out there that I thought was really interesting
of Vladimir Zelenski did an interview on Meet the Press.
He said a very confusing thing, a belief that he
had that if Trump and Putin make some sort of
agreement that somehow is not good for Ukraine, that Ukraine
would be in NATO and Putin would be in jail.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's one thing he said.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
He also said this about how Ukraine would never accept
a agreement a decision made to end the conflict between
the United States and Russia.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I'll play that audio real quick.

Speaker 10 (08:29):
Thing that President Trump said this week, He did not
say yes when he was asked if he sees Ukraine
as an equal member in the peace process.

Speaker 11 (08:39):
He did say later that Ukraine would have a seat
at the table. Have you been given any assurances that
Ukraine will have an equal seat at the negotiating table.

Speaker 12 (08:52):
So I will never accept any decisions between the United
States and Russia about Ukraine. Never an hour people, never,
And I'll add us and children and everybody. It's come
to show this is the war in Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I got to stap it right there. What's really interesting
about that position about Vladimir's Lensky claiming that he would
never accept any sort of agreement between our country and
Russia is that we are funding his conflict. It would
be akin. Now, I'm not saying that I would like
to see Russia succeed in Ukraine fail, which is the
they have to hate me because the thing I just

(09:28):
said was bad version of a counter argument to what
I'm about to say, and ridiculous in this world we
live in. But when you're funding a conflict, and if
you're funding one away, the conflict would no longer be
capable of happening. Ukraine will quickly lose a fight if
they lose the weapons, and just vast amounts of money,

(09:49):
blank check after blank check that have been sent from
the United States their direction, they would not succeed without us.
For them to behave as though we don't have a
position at this table, is is insane. And I'm not
saying that he's saying that exactly. But if the United
States were to look at Ukraine and say, look, Russia
is willing to have peace if you seed some of

(10:09):
the contested areas that have long been contested between Ukraine
and Russia, the Donbas region, for example, if that goes away,
but you retain everything else that your country has, and
yet it seems like a victory for Russia maybe to you,
but it's a way to end a conflict that has
no end in sight and US incapable of continuing to
support it to the degree that you need to keep

(10:31):
fighting it. If that were said to Ukraine and they
said no. The next thing the United States would say, well,
good luck without us, And that sounds horrible, but that
obviously would occur in a way that then makes Ukraine
actually play along. And that's what I think is so
amazing about this is saying out loud, as the president
of Ukraine and Vladimir Zelensky, that you would never accept

(10:51):
this outcome.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
What do you think the alternative to that is? Realistically?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
And this is a person who's currently at war defending
his country against an invasion from Russia again. And I
would never pretend as though the agreement that Trump would
make would be horrible for Ukraine, or any US president
would make would be horrible for Ukraine. We've defended you
this long and we're not going to allow things to
go completely a different direction at the very end here.

(11:17):
But it's long been the actual part of this discussion
that most media doesn't want to talk about, that, yeah,
Ukraine won't be able to get everything at once for
the war to end. They won't accept it, but without
our support they can't keep fighting it. And yet there
we are. This is how this is being talked about
time and again in our society. Right now, and I
just think it's really interesting. As I said, Zelenski went

(11:40):
on to say that if Trump and Putin do make
a deal and that deal winds up being uniquely negative
for Ukraine, then somehow he sees Putin in jail and
Ukraine and NATO. But that won't necessarily occur either, because
it's making an argument that just seems illogical. But all right,
that's just a few of the things out.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
There in the world.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Fear mongering, hate mongering still in very much play time
and again throughout society. We will get over it there,
we'll figure out how to deal with it, and we'll
talk about some sillier, some lighter things too throughout the show,
like coffee paste, which is a real thing apparently that
they're putting on toast and things places in the world.
I have some people that reviewed it that talked about

(12:22):
what it tastes like to have coffee come out of
essentially a toothpaste tube and be put on your toast
and your other food items for breakfast. Don't be this
desperate for caffeine. It would be my first ignowl, my
first reaction to that. Do not be this in need
that you take it the same way that kids inhale
pixie sticks is bad.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
You shouldn't do that. It doesn't end well.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I remember these things from grade school in the playground
and the pixie stick disaster of ninety four. I'm kidding,
although I don't know if I am, and I think
I'm not allowed to talk about it. All right, quick break,
A lot coming up, as I said, a lot of
serious and hopefully a lot of silly on this President's Day.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 13 (14:28):
Call me sid around and cooks and suits and eat
grand desserts and just get off fat and say sy
my life.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (14:45):

Speaker 3 (14:47):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in thrilled to be
with you. Canadians booed the American national anthem at a
Canada versus US hockey match that occurred over the weekend
here we go.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
As just more boeing going on. So what happened next?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
You drop the gloves and you fight not once, not twice,
but three times in the first ten minutes of this game,
which was absolutely amazing.

Speaker 6 (15:15):
And the gloves are off.

Speaker 9 (15:17):
Angel from Tampa Bay to Chuck from Florida did not
see this come up.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Both sides said they hold it wouldn't have the tight
it did beat them centum of the toll. Chuck a
boy put one on net. Now we're nine seconds in.

Speaker 14 (15:33):
We had to fight tube seconds in, another one one
second later.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Now the center of the accidents.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
That's right, baby, you boo the national anthem.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
We beat the crapitty and then we win the hockey
game three one, which is pretty great.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
And to be honest with you, the other thing that
I really loved about this, other than the dropping the
gloves and the fighting three times, is that this is
what makes hockey more fun to watch. You had the
NBA All Star Game and the NBA All Star Weekend
stuff happening where you have a non NBA player when
the dunk contest because he's just better at dunking than
anybody willing to do that. That's plays in the real NBA.

(16:11):
Mac mcclugg is cool. He's not the same as the
other guys who've won that before because he's not a
starter on any kind of team. But I do love
this more just because it's absolutely better. There is one
exception I will throw out there. You did have the
NBA fan beat an NBA Star three point contest that
also occurred that was cool. Damian Lillard and a eighteen

(16:34):
year old fan took shots from the logo. If the
fan made one before Lillard made three, he won a
hundred thousand dollars. And the guy did it. He was
just chucking up prayers and one of them bounced off
the backboard and end, which apparently his dad told him
to go for the glass and it worked out just fine.
But one hundred grand to an eighteen year old on
All Star weekend was probably the best thing that happened

(16:57):
for the NBA, where hockey did way better with its
fighting and its three to one victory for the United States.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
I loved it.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
The game was part of a four nations facing off
against each other, and the Canadians booing America even though
I think some of them would love to be our
fifty first state. If they're being honest about it, they
wouldn't hate it if it actually happened.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
All right, quick break a lot more. Craig Allen's filling
in on the Chad Benson.

Speaker 16 (17:20):
Show, Sun Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
This is the chand Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about. I thought this was pretty interesting.
A major media outlet, that being The Wall Street Journal,
misrepresented the words of Vice President JD. Vance in a
headline it ran on Friday. Several other different discussions about

(18:22):
the JD Vance speech he gave to European leaders were
absolutely inaccurately described, And it seems pretty interesting that this
is the focus or the way in which, you know,
people try to go about creating hate to make you
then disagree with someone. The Wall Street Journal had a
headline that was on the Internet in several other places

(18:43):
that said Vance pledged to hit Russia with sanctions and
potentially military action if Putin won't agree to a peace
deal that guarantees Ukraine's independence and that didn't actually happen.
That's usually a whoops of daisy when you make a
claim like that and it doesn't occur. A Vance, among others,
went to social media to correct that record over the weekend.
Here's something I wanted to say about this, And I

(19:06):
wonder how many people will feel that this is true
in your own life, because I've thought about, in just
these three weeks or so that Trump has been in office,
the amount of disagreements I've had with people in my life,
whether it's this topic over here, that topic over there,
and someone the getting overly up in arms and angry
and acting as though a whole lot of people agree

(19:27):
with them on whatever they're angry about. And what I
believe is happening is we're in a society right now
where you want your anger, your pain, your whatever you
call it, to land somewhere. You don't just have it,
but you need it to land on a person, on somebody,
And so you might be mad at something that has
nothing to do with politics, and then you see a

(19:48):
headline where the media is going to be overly one
sided about what they say about politics, and then you
get irate, and then you go out into the social
media world and you complain and you do everything you
do there, and then eventually, in your own everyday life,
you find somebody and you scream at them too, And
that's needing it to land. And it doesn't have to
land on the person that you're angry at or the
situation you're angry at, most likely because you probably can't

(20:11):
reach whatever the thing is that you're actually upset with,
if it's in the world of our government and whatnot,
So you just needed to land somewhere else, and so
put it here, this place, over there, wherever I can
get it to go. And media uses and weaponizes that instinct,
that desire of everyday human beings to feel that way
and makes you upset and makes you go crazy about

(20:33):
the latest thing that Jade Vance didn't say that they
claim he did say, and it's sort of insane. And
then let's take that one step further. Actually, let's go
to doge Elon Musk puts something up on social media
that I thought was really interesting. Granted, he owns a
specific social media platform, so he's pretty good at this

(20:54):
now owning X, but he put up a myriad of
videos all s place to get other of what he
said is both Barack Obama and President Biden or Vice
President Biden at the time, in some of these videos
saying how wholeheartedly they agree with the things that Doze
has been doing. And what's so interesting about this, to

(21:16):
be honest before I hit play on this audio, is
that it's just because of the individual who's doing the
behavior that mainstream media is so obsessed with shooting it
down and shouting it down. And as far as the
politicians go, the biggest reason that this isn't something that
occurs when say Biden is in office or Obama is
in office, is.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Because it's just words.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
It's words that they have no intention of ever trying
to actually make into actions that take place because it's
money out of their own pockets. Is what I think
a whole lot of us would believe and feel. But
here is part of that spliced up video of Barack
Obama and Joe Biden saying that we need to do
more to pull excess money out of the government.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
The waste, fraud, and abuse. It needs to stop.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
So if they lived up to their words, obviously they'd
be huge, huge fans of everything that Dose has been
up to.

Speaker 17 (22:06):
Budget reform is not an option, it's a necessity.

Speaker 9 (22:10):
The American people are entitled to transparency.

Speaker 17 (22:13):
We can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer
dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist
solely because of the power of politicians, lobbyists or interest groups.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Couldn't agree.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
We're totally be able to figure out where the thirds
are going and they're.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
Able to accountability.

Speaker 16 (22:31):
Yes, to make sure that we're using the dollars for
what we said it was for.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yes, we need to do that. We need do that
all the time. These are just words to some politicians.
These are things that you can, you know, dangle the
carrot in front of the American people and then behind
the screen do whatever you want to do. Horrible, actual
things that make matters worse, not better. What I think
is so interesting about it is it's also the person

(22:57):
who delivers the message, which I've I've said time and
again filling in on the show for Chad, that the
messenger is shot before the message is even evaluated. In
today's society, if some don't like who the messenger is,
and that's terrible as far as a move goes or
an opinion goes for us gaining the truth. But I
just love the fact that it is obvious that most

(23:19):
people in this country would believe that our government needs
to spend less and waste less and do everything better
with our dollars with our money, and people are behaving
as though that's some sort of crazy, controversial, one sided opinion.
And then you have audio from people like Barack Obama
saying how important and necessary it is another really interesting

(23:40):
piece of audio that was out there. And this is
probably something that CNN is not super thrilled they have
out in the world. But there was a discussion about
RFK Junior as he now heads the health department in
our country, and how he might action this a quote
and I'll play some of his audio might actually make
us Hay healthier along the way of some of the

(24:02):
things he's planning on doing. Of course, somehow this is
still bad if you're CNN, because it well has to be.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
But here we go.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
He does.

Speaker 14 (24:09):
He's the worst possible vessel for this push because he
promotes junk science and quackery routinely. I say that as
both the sentient being but also a parent in the
autism community. He pushes fake autism.

Speaker 17 (24:22):
Curious.

Speaker 14 (24:23):
He says vaccines cause autism. That is one hundred percent
not true and so so so dangerous. So he is
the worst person for what is I think a really
good and important message. And listen, I was at Fox
for all of those conversations.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I guess that right there.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
I love the fact that it's more important to you
who the person is than the message of what we
can do to be healthier. Over here, that childhood obesity
is an epidemic, which is what Robert F. Kennedy Junior
was talking about, and you need to fight it through
healthy eating, which is something that even Michelle Obama I
think was fairly well known for when she was the
first lady talking about getting food to be healthier in
the classroom. Again, they don't care about the message. They

(25:03):
care about the messenger. And so she takes thirty forty
seconds there. That's Kara Swisher, by the way, a guest
on CNN, to crap all over RF Kennedy Junior before
she says anything about the substance of the discussion. And
we got there. Because you want your anger to land.
You don't want your anger to go unnoticed. If you're
angry at someone. If you're angry in a situation, even

(25:25):
if you're in agreement on whatever the point of discussion is,
you have to make sure that I land my punches
against you, the person that I truly despise. There is
one other example of this. I think I made mention
of it a little bit ago. Tom Hanks made a
return to Saturday Night Live, as did a whole lot
of people, for their special fiftieth anniversary show, and he

(25:47):
played a character he's played before. It's a white Trump
supporter with a make America Great Again hat that's also
a racist on Black Jeopardy. Now, granted, this is a
comedy show. I know the rule of comedy shows are
quite a bit different than everyday society. I think John
Stewart actually made that argument quite well whenever he was
potshotted at, so I understand that this is not necessarily

(26:11):
a stance that's as serious as if it happened on
a regular everyday news station. Well, what I find truly
amazing about this type of humor in our society is
it completely ignores the lesson that you could have learned
by Trump winning the popular vote and needing to make
sure that people are the bad guy, if you disagree
with them as opposed to people just being individuals who

(26:33):
think differently than you on whatever the issue might be,
for whatever the reason might be. And we do have
an obsession with understanding why someone said something as opposed
to what they said. And that's amazing to me because
why only really matters if what you say doesn't match
what you do. If you say one thing and do

(26:54):
something different, then I've got to understand where the disconnect
is if you say something and then do it to
figure it out. I don't need to dive any deeper
than that, because, hey, they told me the thing they
were going to do, so many people don't care about
that part.

Speaker 7 (27:07):
Though.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
One last thing I want to play. I just thought
this was kind of funny. Before I take a break,
borders are Tom Hollman. I did a CNN interview. Trump
has been all over television and his administration has been
all over television, and not just television they like.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
They've been on a lot of TV that they probably
disagree with.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
They're not afraid to go into those places and talk
to those outlets. Profoundly different than President Biden and his
administration when they were in office. I think Biden gave
like nine press style interviews conferences during his first year
in office. Trump heard from almost every day since he
became President Trump again, and I think that that's profoundly better,

(27:51):
regardless of if you agree or disagree, to have that
level of access and information coming out of the White
House for you to then shape however you want is
better than radio silence.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
But I digress.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Holman popped up on CNN and responded to AOC's criticism
of what he's doing as far as the border goes,
and he had a great response to dealing with Alexandria
Ocassio Cortez.

Speaker 18 (28:14):
Vaguely aware of immigration law. I've done it since nineteen
eighty four. I forgot more about the immigration law that
AOC will ever know. As a matter of fact, to
hearing a couple years ago, I had explained to her
the enter in the country illegally was actually a crime.
So you know, I don't know. I'm not going to
play that game with it. I simply made a statement,
when you sit down with people who are wanted by
its criminal aliens that have been ordered to report it

(28:34):
from the United States Coment, and ignore that order. If
you ain't ignore that order, we'd be sitting in prison,
which they ignored an order from federal judge. They are
hiding in a home and she's telling him not to
open the door.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Not to open the door, stay away, don't let them in.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Reject the government, Reject authorities that are removing you because
you're not here legally. And again you've gotten even more
trouble since it is profoundly strange that this is the
type of thing we disagree on now because it's not
about the message. It's about the person, and it's about
filifying that person and hating that person. So even if
they say something you agree with, you can't let them

(29:09):
have the win. It's insane and we see that all
the time, and we're seeing it yet again here over
the last several days on a variety of topics. All right,
quick break, a lot coming up. Greig Collins filling in
on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 7 (29:22):
Maybe this year you're alone, maybe you're set, You're like,

Lean is here to help So if you don't know
what yo yo dieting is, I'll tell him, Chad. It's
where you get all this weight on, then you take

it up, then you put more on, then you take
it up, then you put more on.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
That's correct. Don't do that. You can get really sick
over time.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
Your body has real trouble diabetes, heart issues. I mean,
we go on and on. Yo yo dieting is bad.

To do what you know how to do, because when
you do what you.

Speaker 20 (31:01):
Do what you know how to do.

Speaker 11 (31:03):
What you've just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.

Speaker 21 (31:08):
And then they passed us a baton, And the question
is what will we do with the time we carry
the baton?

Speaker 6 (31:14):
You smoking something or you just dumb?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
In Halle who doesn't love a yellow school bus?

Speaker 20 (31:22):
Get jo ass from their cool buff and go home.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
I call myself a joyful warrior the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (31:33):

Speaker 3 (31:35):
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
New York bodegas are selling lucies. No, not cigarettes, They're
selling egg lucies because apparently people can't.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Afford the whole carton.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
I have audio of some of the bodega guys talking
about how they're doing this for you. Yeah, I'm gonna
sell the egg at two three four bucks per egg.
Yeah I'm gonna make more money the whole carton because
I'm doing it that way. But it's this isn't for me,
This is for you and what you.

Speaker 22 (32:05):
Need if you have twenty dollars and you want to
make it from breakfast for two or three people's and
you already spending twelve dollars for one item something, How
they're going to buy the bread, the milk, and the
boat all that.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I'm not surprised. So camalism is for the people.

Speaker 22 (32:20):
When the people don't have that kind of money pertially,
and this community there's you know, there's a low income.
It's very hard for them to just buy and pay
that kind of money for until center.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Now we'll sell you a looseg We'll sell you lucies.
You know.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
The first thing I thought of when I saw this
is how my wife would react if she sent me
off to the grocery store and I came back with
an egg and I'm like, no, they.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Were selling the lucies.

Speaker 23 (32:40):
Man.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
I had to get a couple.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
And I'm not trying to say if this is what
you need that it's not necessarily a good thing, that's fine.
If this is the only way you get around and
you need the item, fine, go ahead and buy them
in one offs. It just feels like there's some sort of,
you know, darker element to it. I don't know what
it is about it. I'm an East Coast Italian, so
maybe it's just my heritage that's coming into play and

(33:02):
thinking about this. But the bodega owner who's trying to
sell you one egg at a time feels like to me,
there's some sort of negative, not just a positive there,
even if people are happy about it. A judge in
Michigan decided to do sent in some shoplifters of a
Walmart shoplifting crime. I think they were teenagers to wash
cars as what they had to do. As far as

(33:24):
the punishment goes, I thought this was actually pretty interesting.
I don't know if this will teach people to stop
thievan because, darn it, the crime might not be you know,
the punishment might not be strong enough for the crime.
But the judge, his name is Jeffrey, was proud of
what he came up with.

Speaker 24 (33:39):
I came up with a wash for Walmart.

Speaker 25 (33:42):
So everybody who's here in the courtroom today is going
to be doing community.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Service washing cars.

Speaker 24 (33:48):
So the people that actually go to Walmart and pay
for their goods, they are going to get a free
car wash to the people that think it's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
To go there and steel I think that's funny.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
If you go to the Walmart parking lot you wash
everybody's car that's going there and buying items that that's great. Now,
I would assume, because it's government and whatnot, no matter
what branch of it, that the judge is going to
be one of the cars that pulls up to.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Have a wash. I just assume it's going to happen.
It's fine.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
I guess they can go that road. Everything will be okay.
One last topic too that I really liked before we
take a break here in a little bit. Apparently a
company will be making coffee by the tube. This is
a paste that you can actually spread on your food items.
If you don't have enough caffeine, and if you don't
want to go to energy drinks to add extra caffeine

(34:30):
in after your morning coffee, you can just put coffee
paste on your toast, on a banana, on whatever you
want to put it on. People that taste tested this
had very different reactions to it. Some seem to love it,
some seem to not feel so great about it at all.
I feel like if my friend, who might already be
addicted to caffeine, starts putting coffee paste in his food

(34:53):
that we're going to have to have a discussion about
if he's okay, if he's healthy or not. But here's
a little bit of what people said in reaction to
trying quite there.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
It comes up quite easy, easily.

Speaker 24 (35:02):
It looks quite nice. It looks like marmite.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Oh yeah, really easy to spread.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
WHOA, this is not for me.

Speaker 14 (35:09):
I like it that it makes the bread taste burns.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Not someone who is.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
The lighter end up the coffee specs.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
I really hate hearing people chew by the way too.
It's always annoyed me. But yeah, I'm not going to
do that. I'm not doing the coffee paste move.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
It's not for me.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
I don't know if it's for you, but a coffee
company will be selling it just in case you're a
degenerate who needs it. This is Creig Collins filling in
on the Chad Benson Show. And I'm not judging by
the way because I'm a degenerate. When it comes to
the energy drink, I drink a whole lot of them.
I go with the V eight Sparkling Energy because I
want to feel like the old man that I am

(35:47):
as I.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Reach my forties.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Here I get criticized for the v eight energy drink
more than anything else I talk about in radio, and
that says something, because I talk about politics for a living,
and yet more people reach out to me and ask
me why I'm drinking the old man drink the VHS
delicious people, and in the energy serving even more so
the layoff.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
I'm not backing down on that one.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
I'm not doing the coffee paste, but I am doing
this quick break a lot more. Greig Collins filling in

The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about in the world. One
of the most viral pieces of audio, though, comes from
face the nation, not because it's good audio, but because
it's confusing audio to a whole lot of people who
don't understand how Margaret Brennan can think the thing that

(37:40):
she thinks. And before I play that audio, what I
think is even more interesting than anything about this is
that you had JD. Vance, Vice President Vance, speak to
European leaders, specifically German leaders on Friday. I tell them
to their faces that what they're doing, as far as
the you know, restrictions on speech, free speech, free thought

(38:03):
in their country, is wrong, and that we don't stand
in support of those decisions. Regardless of if you're an
ally or not. If you arrest people for what they
put up on social media, you in fact are not
aligned with the values of the United States. That was
resoundingly attacked. People all over the place said that, well,
all over media. I don't know how many everyday Americans

(38:25):
thought this a claim that Vance gave one of the
most controversial speeches we've ever heard, and then CBS in
sixty minutes, I tell us just how broken Germany has
gotten and how people are in fact being arrested because.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Of things they put up on social media.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
But you had Margaret Brennan earlier in the day interviewing
Marco Rubio and saying some really really crazy stuff. I
want to say a different word than stuff, but I'm
going to go with stuff because we're on the radio.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Here we go.

Speaker 8 (38:53):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech
was weaponized to coentuct a genocide, and he met with
the head of a political party that has far right
views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context
of that was changing the tone of it. And you

(39:17):
know that that the censorship disagree with you specifically about
the right.

Speaker 9 (39:20):
Now I have to disagree with you. Free speech was
not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted
by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be
genocidal because they hated Jews, and they hated minorities, and
they hated those that they had a list of people
they hated, but primarily the Jews. There was no free
speech in Nazi Germany.

Speaker 6 (39:38):
There was none.

Speaker 9 (39:39):
that's not an accurate reflection of history.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
It's obvious to say something to that degree, and to
add that you know, it's not an accurate representation of history.
At the tail end of the description there, I will
remind a CNN that Nazis actually outlawed free speech. In
nineteen thirty five, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi
government at all, and in nineteen thirty three they had
a constitutional change to what free speech meant or freedom

(40:09):
of the press meant in that country at that time.
It is amazing to watch people who believe themselves to
be truly intelligent, like you know, the upper echelon of
our society, a lot of very healthy egos in the world,
of a lot of media outlets out there that say
things this profoundly wrong, don't even do the research, Like

(40:30):
she's got a team of people who could be able
to who should be able to do research for her
to tell her that her position is going to be
profoundly inaccurate on if free speech was the cause of
Nazi Germany or not. And there's one more thing about
it that matters to me, and it's the intelligence of
you mainstream media outlet after outlet, and pompous arrogant person

(40:53):
after pompous arrogant person that exists in some of those
platforms will essentially tell you that they need to protect
you from your own stupidity by censoring things. We can't
have uncensored information out there in the world because you're
too dumb to figure out what's wrong and what's right.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
That's their message. That's not my message.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
I don't agree with that or believe in that at all.
But they unapologetically say it again and again when they
say that this has to be censored or that has
to be controlled. And then go into Germany and have
a conversation with German leaders about how ridiculous free speech
has been destroyed in other countries. And it's the kind

(41:34):
of thing that, to be totally honest, as you have
this discussion, as you you know, see what's going on
out there, you realize how important this time in our
lives is. And I'll say something different in that regard
because I kind of hate that, and I'll tell you
exactly what I mean. I hate about that. I hate
when people tell me that now is the most important

(41:54):
time in history, that there's never been a more important
time that you know, democracy itself, for example, is on
the line, because you know, ninety nine out of one
hundred times that's not even remotely close to true. It's
profoundly a lie, and they know it's a lie when
they say it. There is a random exception every so
often to that, though, where you hear a specific discussion

(42:17):
and you look around the room and you see more
and more people on the wrong side of the discussion,
and you wonder how we got here. And people who
believe that free speech needs to be you know, restricted
for your benefit, for my benefit, essentially creating nineteen eighty
four in our everyday society today terrify me. These people

(42:39):
scare me. Here's what German prosecutors said to sixty minutes
about their laws and how you know appropriate they are.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
That's clear.

Speaker 4 (42:48):

Speaker 5 (42:55):
Yes, the fine could be even higher.

Speaker 23 (42:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
If you insign some in the internet, why because the Internet,
it stays there. If we are talking face to face,
you insult me and sold you okay, finish. But if
you in the internet, if I insult you or a politician.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
That sticks around forever.

Speaker 6 (43:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
If somebody I can't believe he even says, or a
politician and it sixs around forever insulting politicians, They insult
our intelligence, as I just said, all the time every day,
And if you want to go back at them for that,
I think you're completely within your right to do it.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
But what's most.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Terrifying about this is how this German prosecutor references the
thing that should be the cooler heads prevailing, the you know,
logic is taking over and decisions are being made rationally
as opposed to as irrationally as they're being made. When
he says that if you insult somebody face to face,
they're capable of getting over it, that's not the way

(43:50):
he articulates it. He says, well, the thing they said
to you goes away because you walk away from that environment.
And then behaving as though just because something's on the
internet you can't also get over it and ignore it.
You can't also behave as though you don't agree with it.
This is insane. It's insane as a discussion, insane as
a position in society.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
In general that more and more people are landing in.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
So yeah, even though most of the time I laugh
off someone telling me that like this is a fight
we need to fight, or this is you know, an
argument that we need to pay attention to because it's
it's honestly one of the more important ones in our society.
The right to free speech does land on that list
for me, as far as stuff that you cannot allow,

(44:33):
for you know, anything to start to infringe upon that.
And we're seeing that more and more all the time,
and they're telling us it's for our benefit, and then
they use it against us. And honestly, you know what,
whenever I talk about any of this, I always think
of an individual I know, a friend of mine who says,
COVID is the the instigator of a lot of again

(44:55):
the you know, specific moves of government that they've long
wanted to overstep and over region and the American people
are society in general fighting back eventually realizing how broken
and wrong that can be and deciding that it's inappropriate
and we can't allow it to occur. And that is
a great point that again gets made more and more
often that without the example of COVID in the recent

(45:18):
past for us, maybe more people are convinced that things
like free speech could go away just a little bit.
If we're protecting ourselves from being hurt and upset in
some sort of conversation you're having online. By the way,
another thing that occurred over the weekend that people just
thought was very amusing A Kamala Harris attended a Broadway
show in New York City and then praised people in

(45:41):
her latest version of word salad. I love whenever this
goes viral on social media, someone somewhere says, we dodged
a bullet as a society, because you know, Harris is
not our president right now, and literally Trump actually dodged
a bullet that allowed him to win that election.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
So it's sort of insane to see that.

Speaker 21 (45:58):
But here we go for those rights to be maintained,
which means we have to be vigilant. And it's just
the nature of it. I mean, look what I mean
in this beautiful play and everything that we know, he
ended that he was.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Supprised, he had to suppress so much.

Speaker 21 (46:13):
Ah, but he knew and you know he shook those risks.
But we have to we have to be a clear eye.
And it doesn't mean we don't see the beauty and
everything right, these things all coexist, but I believe we
fight for something, not against them.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
You know who Harris reminds me of.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
I think I'm probably overly admitting something when I do this,
But Kamala Harris reminds me of my friend in college
who smoked way too much pot. That's who she reminds me,
because there's sometimes where that guy would walk into a
room you're, you know, doing something, and the heavy pot
smoking friend of yours is there and he starts talking
and in his brain he's saying the most profound thing

(46:53):
he's ever said to a group of people. To the
rest of us, we're trying to nod and you know,
mostly ignore him until he use the room. But that's
who she is, more often than not to me, someone
who is so you know, proud of herself as she's
giving these statements and saying these things, where people are like,
I don't know if I followed what you just said.

(47:13):
I don't know if I'm on the same page as
you or on the same medication as you're on. But
I think we're okay here. And she continued praising this
Broadway crowd for their diverse show and the things that
they're highlighting and celebrating that we need more of in
society and fighting the ills of society or something you

(47:38):
so much.

Speaker 7 (47:38):
Than you.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
I love how it ends with people like, thank you
so much, ma'am, thank you for what you said. We
don't know what it was or what the intention of
it was, but we we thank you for saying it,
because we're pretty sure you were praising us. And as
long as you actually praise us, we're fine with anything.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Else you say.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
If there's politics or anything baked in there, that doesn't matter.
I just say a couple of nice things about me
first or at the end, and we're totally fine. One
last thing that I just thought was really interesting, and
we'll maybe get to a little bit later on in
the show. There are more and more politicians stepping out
and discussing or fighting back on some of the media

(48:19):
narratives that have taken over in the first few weeks
of Trump being in office. Even Senator Tom Cotton has
said that behind the scenes, a lot of what's been
going on in the White House and a lot of
what's been going on for the American people, whether it's
doze or something else, are just so profoundly different than
what you're hearing in these media places because of how
angry they are about it. And I think that's kind

(48:41):
of amazing, And even demonstrating that in some places some
of the decisions being made have bipartisan teams coming up
with some of this and bipartisan roots. And that goes
as far as not just Tom Cotton, but Elon Musk
demonstrating how many many Democratic leaders have complained about the use, misuse,

(49:01):
over spending, fraudulent behavior of our government and its bureaucracies
as far as spending goes, only to now be against
it because apparently everything that they do in the world
of government spending is to protect kids from diseases or
protect you know, poor people from this or that over here,
and absolutely none of it could possibly be waste, fraud abuse.

(49:21):
It is amazing and sort of hilarious that we're seeing
so much of this now. But I will just say
one more time that the promptly best move that Republicans
make that Democrats don't is you go out and have
the conversation you disagree with someone in public in a
place where they're going to get mad at you. It
seems to be the best approach possible. On that note,
quick break a lot coming up. Greg CON's filling in

It's ridiculous, and I want you to know.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
That you call it ridiculous, We call it reality.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
That's a crack.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Real over fake.

Speaker 15 (51:24):
God helpless.

Speaker 23 (51:26):
The truth.

Speaker 16 (51:27):
You can't handle the truth.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
The Chad Benson Show, Fighting truth decay the American Way.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
tough stuff to talk about out there in the world.
A OnlyFans model has sponsored a soccer team in what
demonstrates the ridiculous amount of money that exists in some
places in our society that used to not be things
that existed at all. Twenty nine year old Bella threw

(52:01):
down millions, excuse me, hundreds of thousands of dollars to
sponsor what is a semi pro retired athlete soccer team
that actually plays games for charity. They wear her name
on their jerseys to promote her OnlyFans content. I can't
get over if you're going to see more of this

(52:21):
in society as things keep going a certain way, and
if the soccer team gets a free subscription or something.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
I'm not sure what else exists there. But this is real.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
This is an actual story that went viral. Thank you
to the New York Post for reporting it so I can.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Talk about it here. But that is just one crazy
thing going on.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
There's a lot of other crazy things going on out
there in the world, and I promise to get to
more of them. I like the amount of people that
are now buying a kids meal when they go out
to eat because they can't afford the regular meal. That's
also a story to get to later. Craig Collins, filling
in on the Chad Benson Show on the Holiday. I've
never judged anybody by the way forgetting the kids meal,

(52:59):
even in front of me, mostly because the only people
I've ever seen do it are women that say that's
the most food they can eat. I don't know if
it's true that that's actually the most food they can eat,
but that's the person who does it.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
That's the person who makes the move.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
I've never seen somebody like me who knows you cannot
eat just a kid's meal.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
And feel full. Actually do the same thing.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
But if you do it and it's for financial related reasons, fine,
that's you. You got a stomach the can I have
the kid's meal please? Words coming out of your mouth.
But then also maybe contemplating making the food at home
and having the adult sized meal at the kid's meal
price of going out to eat.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
I'm not really.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
Sure if that works for all of us, but it
does work for me on occasion when I do it,
and I can't do it. The thing I can't do
is actually order a kid's meal in public. I could
never do that. I can't even get a kid sized
like anything. If there's an ice cream cone and the
small and the kids are basically the same size and
one saves me money, I can't buy the kids one
because I just I refuse to save it about myself,

(53:58):
I'm a toxic man. I guess if that's what you
want to call me for that, But I won't do it.
But apparently a whole lot of people are who are
proud of the budget savings and then also still hungry.
All right, quick break A lot coming up throughout the
show today. This is Craig Collins filling in on The
Chad Benson Show during the holiday.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Chad will be back tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
I get to be with you for a little more
time on this President's Day quick break, More in a.

Speaker 16 (54:23):
Bitch, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (55:07):

Speaker 3 (55:09):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you. A whole bunch of stuff to talk about.
Donald Trump. President Trump was at the Daytona five hundred,
did a couple laps before the race got going, and
then immediately you have the car crashes that the Daytona
five hundred is famous for. Today, well, aboarding Air Force one,
he had a few things to say about that and

(55:31):
also the price of eggs. I'm going to play some
of this audio. I know it's not the best because
you hear the plane in the background and it's kind
of hard to make out what's being said. But we'll
talk about it as we go here. But Trump being
incredibly accessible to media that he agrees with or disagrees with,
utterly different than how Biden behaved while he was in
the White House. So definitely something that should be thought

(55:53):
of as universally good. The amount of access to a
current sitting president. That media is getting again, even if
they dislike the things he's saying, of course they don't
feel that way, which is what it is.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Here we go.

Speaker 25 (56:05):
The tongue was.

Speaker 23 (56:06):
Fantastic, The crowd was amazing. People loved that stort and
they were wonderful people.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
That Yeah, that's actually a little bit too disrupted that audio.
So I'm not going to play the rest of that,
but i will tell you that he's talking about how
Daytona five hundred itself was fantastic.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
It was amazing. He'll go home, he'll watch it.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
He'll see the way that they, you know, showed him
and the beast making laps around the track before the
race actually gets going. I think this is interesting. Trump
is the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl.
He is, you know, someone who, as I said, is
uniquely available to media and popping up in a lot
of places. And even if people tell you this is

(56:47):
horrible and terrible and bad, there's something about it that
feels like it's actually aligned with what being the president is.
You probably should be someone that's seen in a lot
of these events and available to media as often as
he available to media. And doing things, whether those are
things you like or dislike. A well, that comes when
you decide to vote certain people into office. But being silent,

(57:11):
simply silent, not just weak, not just someone who couldn't
stand up in a meaningful way when things went poorly.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
And Biden did a lot of that.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
He did a lot of that with Russia, he did
a lot of that with several bad actors, with China,
with you name it. He also had a horrible exit
from Afghanistan that people still talk about occasionally. Those weren't
the only things that were sort of the unique negative
aspect of that administration. It was also just the lack
of communication at all. And this is something that media

(57:42):
should have complained about more than they did. Trump not
struggling with.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
That, I says that reached it all time high?

Speaker 26 (57:48):
What's your what I want crisis?

Speaker 23 (57:50):
That reaches it all time blue? It was a long
before I ever gotten here. It was it and all
of that this sence. I remember, I've been here for
three weeks. Man, When you saw the inflation numbers, I've
been here for three weeks. I have had nothing to
do with inflation. This was caused by Biden. I had
four years of virtually no inflation. So I'm just taking over.

(58:10):
But I'll tell you what, this country has made more
progress in the last three weeks than it's not in
the last four years. And we're respected again as a country.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Before we stand up to people differently, our actions match
our words, which.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Is very, very good.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
But I do love the fact that he says it's
been like three weeks. I can't make egg prices go
immediately down, even if people voted for me to try
to make that a thing that happens, to be honest.
The aspect that'll probably be missed over the next few
years or is how much more inflation may have gone
up if Biden stays in power, if Biden stays in
the White House, and if he continues his war on energy,

(58:47):
or if Harris actually got in the White House and continued.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
A crazy war on energy.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
That matters more than any of this other discussion that's
going on in the world about how prices are not
necessarily going to immediately plummet because Trump is in is
in office, because that is not something you do overnight,
if you do it at all, But it is something
that a lot of Americans hope we see.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
We hope we do see prices go down.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
We hope for a much more prosperous economy here within
our country that aids in that, and a whole lot
more of America first happening to help aid in that
as well. All right, I want to play this audio.
I think this is interesting. MSNBC says that DOSEE the
Department of Government Efficiency, saving taxpayers a billion dollars or

(59:35):
one hundred billion. It depends on what number you find
and who you find it from. But lots and lots
of money has been saved already, and lots more could
be saved. As horrible and terrible somehow, and what they
compare it to is sort of insane.

Speaker 27 (59:47):
I keep going back to this does remind me of
the federal government version of Afghanistan draw down. Everyone agreed
it was pretty much a bipartisan consensus we needed to
get out of Afghanis stand. The way it went about
we went about doing it was horrible.

Speaker 11 (01:00:04):
We could have done.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
It in a better way.

Speaker 27 (01:00:07):
Right now, we agree that there's waste in the federal
government and that everyone would like to cut the deficit
and cut spending. The way they're going about it, it
makes no sense. They need to be more strategic about
what they're cutting and where, and.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
No, you know what makes this profoundly different than comparing
it to Afghanistan or anything else. What makes it profoundly
different is the ability to say cut funding and then
reinstate very specific funding. You can't withdraw from Afghanistan and
then re enter and withdraw again if you didn't do
it well and you lost the lives of military men

(01:00:43):
and women of this country in doing so as horrifically
as they did.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
But if the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Actual argument gets made, I can't handle this, to be honest,
This actually is probably the thing that makes me most
angry out of anything we talk about in government right
now is the idea that if Elon Musk and Doge
pull away funding from this you know, bucket here because
they think that it's corrupt, that will refuse to ever
put funding back into anything that was worthwhile if the

(01:01:09):
American people truly support research on this or on that,
whatever it might be. Cancer research for children, of course,
is one that the media always talks about. There's nothing
that stops us from potentially cutting the big giant swathball
of funding and then putting back in strategic versions of it.
There's nothing that prevents that, but they act like it

(01:01:31):
does because they don't want their money taken away. The
best possible way to say, you know, waste abuse launder
funds is to make it complicated to understand what's happening,
to make something gigantic in scope in size. A USAID
is a really good example of this, because if you
dive deeper into that rabbit hole, you can find whatever

(01:01:54):
it is you're looking for. If you want to find
valuable spending on things that matter, you can do it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
The thing the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Organization is so large, so ridiculously multifaceted, that of course
you can find something that you're like, I believe in
spending the money there, and then you can find a
whole bunch of places where the money is being corruptly
and wrongly spent and ridiculously spent. And so I don't
understand how anyone can stay out loud with a straight
face and pretend as though it's not true. That we

(01:02:22):
can be more specific and transparent about whatever we do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
And even the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Website that the Biden administration put out there that allowed
you to go on and look into what money is
being spent on what things and where it's going, and granted,
giving you a narrative version of that and not necessarily
the real version of how the money actually gets spent
as it's being spent on these quote unquote issues, but
even doing that caused people to use that website to say, hey,

(01:02:51):
I don't think we should be spending money on these things.
And nothing happens, nothing changes. You're like, well, we're still
going to do it. We don't care what your opinion
actually is. We just want you to have the illusion
of ability to change our minds. You don't actually have
a realistic way in which you can go about doing that,
so that's all that matters. It's insane and we see
this constantly, and honestly, the discussion points are intentionally as

(01:03:16):
complicated as they are because they want you to believe
that once you break something, you couldn't possibly put it
back together in the world of government funding, which sounds
like the easiest thing you could possibly put back together
if you wanted to at some point down the road.
All right, one last thing that I want to play
MSNBC complaining about Trump once again, because of course they

(01:03:36):
do this.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
All the time.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
I don't know if they wake up and like they
have Trump equals bad on their daily rundown and they
just have to fill in the blanks of how, like,
how does he equal bad today?

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
All right? This is how he equals bad today?

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
All right.

Speaker 8 (01:03:49):
So the headline here is presidential historian says President's Day
is ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
We should scrap it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
What do you mean?

Speaker 28 (01:03:55):
It is a little bit silly. I mean, we have
had some real duds. So I'm not sure we really
want to be celebrating all presidents. And the tradition actually
comes from celebrating birthdays, which is a celebration that we
inherited from celebrating the King. And I'm just not sure.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
That that's exactly what we want.

Speaker 28 (01:04:12):
Yeah, I mean, I just I'm not sure that we
necessarily want to celebrate the people. I think that we
want to have a certain respect for the office. I
totally get that, and some have done extraordinary things, but
by celebrating all of them, I do think it causes
us to think of the president as somehow other, when
in reality they are citizen just like everyone else.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
I love everything about what was said there, and you
can tell the backdrop of this is we don't want
to celebrate Trump. We feel like celebrating President's Day means
we celebrate Trump somehow, and we refuse to do it.
We're anti it to whatever degree we need to be
anti it. It is hilarious to me. That's the sort
of conversation you have because if you can't fix something
to a degree that you like it, you just have

(01:04:53):
to do away with it entirely. In the world of
I don't know everything but government, they're actually making the
argument Doze is making about getting rid of things like
us AID, but they're doing it about Presidence Day instead
because they're up.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
In arms and mad.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
It's sort of hilarious to watch it play out, and
to be honest, fine, do away with it. I don't
think i'd actually care. Maybe you would care a whole lot,
but I don't care. Call it something else, call it
the Office of President's Day. That's fine, I don't care.
I'll appreciate the day off. You'll appreciate the day off.
I will fight about more important things than this. But

(01:05:28):
that's hilarious to me. They also say that they can't
fix the reputation of some presidents, so they might as
well get rid of this completely. Someone call Elon Musk
and tell them they finally get what he's doing and
do it asap. All right, we'll take a break. A
lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 6 (01:05:45):
Birch Gold. With the uncertainty in the markets and where
the world is no stability, you need to protect yourself.
Birch Gold is going to help you with that.

Speaker 23 (01:05:56):
What is.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
Gold about? Well, first and foremost, it's been around a while.

Speaker 7 (01:06:02):
It's a great way to head yourself in case of
inflation or maybe if the market goes.

Speaker 6 (01:06:08):
You're in a position to go.

Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
You know what I got gold, I'm good, I'm good
Metals making a move? Why unsteady world we're in right now?
Why not listen to what Birch has to offer. They're
going to send you out when you text the word
Benson to ninety eight ninety eight, ninety eight the ultimate
guide to Gold in the Trump Era. Now, when you
get that, they're also going to have an investor guide
you go through. They're going to show you, hey, it's

(01:06:30):
easy if you want to move your four to one
k or ira over there. It's backed by gold. It's
not going to cost you anything. It's a smart way
to diversify and to protect yourself. Text the word Benson
now to ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight. Get the
ultimate guide to gold in the Trump Era, as well
as the investor kit. Don't wait before it's too late.

(01:06:51):
Protect yourself with gold from Birch Gold. Text Benson to
ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight.

Speaker 26 (01:06:56):
Today serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in producer Phil noticed
an article online about how young women are sterilizing themselves
because Trump is now in the office of president. This
is on the heels of conversations about the Row versus
Wade being overturned and people deciding to do this. And
there are even a lawmakers, including one in Michigan who

(01:07:38):
said that she's actually done this. Laura Pahutsky, who's thirty
six years old, said that she's sterilized herself because she's
afraid of having a child. Well, Trump is in office,
and not for any other reasons.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Who knows.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
Obviously, the warning here is that if you think that
you're someone who's gonna have kids after Trump leaves the
White House. Maybe don't change your ability to do so
because you're afraid during it. Of course, there's other ways
we can have discussions about the ridiculousness of these claims.
It makes no sense and it's insane to me that
people want attention to a degree that you'd claim you're

(01:08:13):
doing this for some sort of political reason, because people
wouldn't pay attention as much if you said you're just
doing it for yourself, for whatever those other reasons might be.
And again, if you genuinely do it because you disagree
with the person in charge of the White House, I
think you profoundly misunderstand the amount of control you have
over not getting pregnant without maybe going to the doctor

(01:08:34):
and changing something in your body.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
But I digress.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
I move on, because it's not the only thing that
apparently young women are changing because Trump is in the
White House or republic concern power granted, this one much
less serious, no doctor necessary. They're also changing their makeup habits.
Women are doing what they're calling the Republican or liberal makeover,

(01:08:57):
which is where they're trying to mimic what they think
to be the makeup trends of famous people in a
certain political.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Side of the aisle or the opposite.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
One woman hoping for praise after changing her makeup to
look more liberal. As a dude, I didn't notice anything different.
I saw a woman wearing makeup the first time, and
then the woman wearing makeup the second time.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
I'm told I'm wrong, But here I'll.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
Play a little bit of audio of her hoping that
she looks more liberal, which to me just sounds insane.

Speaker 16 (01:09:25):
I feel like I look fresh, I feel like I
look less republican.

Speaker 14 (01:09:28):
I'm sure there's.

Speaker 24 (01:09:29):
Areas that I can approve upon, But what.

Speaker 27 (01:09:32):
Do I think?

Speaker 28 (01:09:33):
Am I more liberal now?

Speaker 23 (01:09:36):
I hope?

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
So, I hope I am.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
I hope my makeup screams my political identity to you,
which it doesn't to me at all. Like talk about
guys not noticing stuff when my wife gets a haircut
or something, and I don't notice that right away. If
I don't notice that they've changed their political makeup, I
might be totally in the dark on it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
And that's my bad. That's not you.

Speaker 3 (01:09:57):
Of course, it's not that it's a ridiculous point in
the first place. It's obviously what's important for all of
us to be focused on and it's a viral trend
on social media, so darn it, get on it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Another story I saw out there that I liked a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
There is a twenty minute dance that you could also
describe as like jogging and gym stretching and kinds of things. Jigging,
I think is what some people are actually calling it
around the house to music, which is a combination, as
I said, of other stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
But anyway, if you do this.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
For twenty minutes a day, a US study found that
it makes you way healthier. You could also probably work
out any other way for twenty minutes a day that
is not the morning jig around the house to music
that involves all different kinds of stuff, you'll probably also
get the same health benefits. Say, if you do even
more than twenty minutes, I don't know, maybe that benefits

(01:10:47):
go through the roof. But apparently this is a again
a viral trend that was popularized by a singer online
that now more people are trying out and doing in
their house. I don't care what way you get the
health in. Do it the way that is normal at
the gym, or you do it away that you think.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
Is quirky and at home. By yourself. It's fine. Do
it one way, do it the other way.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
Whatever gets you to the place where you're happier being.
But I don't think this is something I'll partake in
anytime soon. And then one last thing, I want to
play this audio for you. This is a dude who
was swallowed by a whale. He was only swallowed by
a whale for a very short amount of time, but
he was swallowed by a whale and then spit out.
The Chilean kayaker is fine. Here's what he said about

(01:11:30):
the experience.

Speaker 25 (01:11:31):
It was one second where I thought that I was
eaten by some kind of giant fish. I didn't know
it was a whale. Suddenly I felt like a wave
struck me from behind, and I turned around. Some blue,
dark colors and white lashing right through my face.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
Terrifying description of what it would be like to be
swallowed by a whale. Blue and black colors and flashing
light and then slimy sensations once and then all of
a sudden, you're spit back out, and you're alive, and
you're fine. Miraculously, nothing at all happened to him, no
injury whatsoever. That seems impossible to be honest, and yes,

(01:12:11):
anyone who is familiar with stories in the Bible immediately
makes you think of Jonah being swallowed.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
By a whale too.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Anyone who says that that seems unlikely or impossible to
come true, it has now happened for real society, and
a dude is pretty happy to be miraculously fine. I
am terrified for so many reasons, so many of them
that I can't even fathom to explain in a short
amount of time.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
So you know what we'll do. I will pause from that.
We'll come back to other things in just a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
But yes, dude swallowed by whale, alive and happy to
talk about it. Craig Gallin's feeling in on The Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Although I would think that if.

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
This did happen to me, I'd at least brag about
it at the bar, and I would change it. I
wouldn't have just gotten spit out by the whale. I
would have fought my way out of the whale. I
think that's the appropriate thing that he's missing in the
entire conversation here is taking the you know, ridiculous amount
of credit than any dude is supposed to take. While
bragging and saying that, Yeah, I fought off one shark,
two sharks, three, all with my bare hands. This dude

(01:13:10):
ripped himself out of a whale's face and lived to
talk about it. That's the right way to tell the story, Buddy,
quick break a lot more.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Craig Collins filling in on the Jad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
This is the Jad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
Thrill to be with you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Bunch of stuff out there to talk about. A woman
went viral on social media. Her name is Hey, Heidi
Joy if you want to check her out on TikTok
on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
I think she's a few different places. She is a
black woman.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
It doesn't usually mean that's something I should mention to you,
but I guess based on what she's talking about, it
might be something that's relevant. You might need this information.
She's criticizing Jasmine Crockett, a politician also a black woman,
for some of the things she's saying about Elon Musk,
and this is pretty great. A lot of what she's
saying here is amazing. Here we go, Oh wait, hold on,

(01:14:35):
let me make sure you can actually hear all this
and that none of it is muted the way that
it's not supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
And one more time, here we go.

Speaker 20 (01:14:41):
I do not care that Elon Musk is unconventional in
his methods. So, according to Jasmine Crockett, who's said that
she is also on the House Budgeting Committee, Elon Musk
is doing things wrong and that's why Democrats are so upset.
She said that what he's supposed to do when he
discovers these things is convene a committee and have a
committee meeting so that they can just discuss things quietly.

(01:15:01):
He is not supposed to bring things to the attention
of the American people, and he has been posting things
on x He's been vocal about it on social media
every time he finds something. But I do not care
if his methods are unconventional.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Mean either, by the way, real quick.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
I love the fact that she attacks the idea that
this should happen behind closed doors first before they change
any kind of funding decision, because that's not what the
American people want. The American people voted someone into power
believing that transparency was going to be a byproduct of
putting that person in a position of power and the
people they bring with them. And that's been the promise

(01:15:36):
of anyone now been put on President Trump's cabinet, is
that they're going to bring transparency and accountability to this department,
that department, you name it. And that's a good thing.
The American people want this exposed publicly. They don't want
it fixed silently, if it's even fixed at all, but continue, man.

Speaker 20 (01:15:54):
I think that the reason they want him to discover
these things and keep it behind closed doors so that
they can continue with this money laundering that they have
been doing over the last few years. And I'm curious
too about Jasmine Crockett because she loves to talk about
the oppression of the black person in this country and
how white people, according to her, will never understand how

(01:16:16):
it feels to be a black person in America. This
is what Jasmine Crockett loves to talk about. But what
about the oppression of the American taxpayer. You have taxes
taken out your paycheck before you even get it, and
our government, our elected officials, are sending our tax dollars
all over the world saying for the most ridiculous things

(01:16:38):
on our Dome fifty nine million dollars spent on housing
undocumented migrants in the state of New York in luxury
hotels fifty nine million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
I think there's no better way to articulate the ridiculousness
of that than just yelling fifty nine million dollars of
the way she's saying.

Speaker 20 (01:16:57):
Fifty nine million dollars wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
It's just wrong, and it's terrible, and yes, it absolutely
is something that you could describe as this person who
went viral and social media wants to as oppressive, taking
the money of everyday Americans and spending it on whatever
the heck you want to spend it on, no matter
how ridiculous and terrible it is.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
But I just love it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
And she's a black woman saying these things, so you're
not allowed to attack her for being a racist. I
think those are the rules of the current society we
live in. So you have to come up with some
other reason to attack her or whatever people say about her,
because it doesn't matter if you agree with the message.
It only matters if you can turn the attacker or
the messenger into someone who's terrible and awful and can't

(01:17:38):
be listened to. No matter what they say. All right,
another thing I want to play and admittedly I've been
playing this all morning because it is one of the
bigger things you'll hear out there, and it is scary.
How many people, maybe people in the world of sixty
Minutes that created this episode of their show, maybe people
beyond the United States or even people within the country,

(01:18:00):
who think that silencing some speech is all right if
you do it based on protecting people or whatever the
excuse might be. But sixty Minutes had to sit down
interview with German prosecutors who are currently trying individuals for
crimes they committed in the world of free speech, that's
right in Germany. As jd Vance said on Friday, and

(01:18:20):
then got resoundingly attacked by media for saying it. To
German leaders, it is illegal to speak your mind if
you somehow offend somebody in the process.

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):

Speaker 15 (01:18:38):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:18:38):
The fine could be even higher if you insult someone
in the internet. Why because in Internet it stays there.
If we are talking a face to face, you insult
me and sold you okay, finish but if you in
the internet, if I insult you or a politician.

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
That sticks around forever.

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
Yeah, I can't believe you mentioned the name of the
politics or say politician in there as well. Here's a
couple things, just pieces of information for the German people
who are okay with this. The first thing is if
you don't insult someone verbally, and you don't insult them
say on social media, your brain didn't change its opinion

(01:19:17):
of whatever the thing is that happened. Just because you're
not allowed to say this outwardly or you could go
to jail for it, doesn't mean you don't still think it.
And so when people try to control thought, and they
try to control thought these ways, they fail. And if
you're someone who thinks certain things and feels that you
can no longer share them because you'll be arrested for it,

(01:19:39):
guess what, you also get mad. A whole lot of
people will get very very mad as they want to
do things like criticize politicians and get thrown in jail
for it. One of the biggest reasons that free speech
is such an important fundamental right in our society is
that it causes us to feel like we have an
avenue to complet lane without necessarily having to take more

(01:20:02):
drastic action than words, and so forcing people to be
incapable of using words, because to you, it's the same
as you know, taking violent action, say against something, means
you're more likely to see the violent action occur instead,
because why not if I'm getting in trouble for a crime,
why not commit what I think is an actual crime
instead of something that I think isn't one. So that's

(01:20:24):
one of the many reasons to do this or to
fight against this, I should say.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
Well, what's also sort of surreal.

Speaker 3 (01:20:30):
To me is that every discussion about this, every version
of media standing up for it, and Margaret Brennan essentially
stood up for these things on Face the Nation during
an interview with Marco Rubio in which she said some
things that were just kind of nuts.

Speaker 2 (01:20:47):
If there's no other way to describe them, that's probably
the best way to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
And in doing so, it demonstrates how incredibly in you know, inappropriate,
you are as someone to be on television in media
claiming to be a journalist in the first place. But
the villain is never free speech. That's never the villain,
And the best way to convince someone that their opinion

(01:21:11):
is wrong is not to tell them to shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
That that doesn't work, that's never going to work.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
That only enhances the amount of interest that other people
have and the thing that someone's not allowed to say. Honestly,
you know this, if you have kids, you know that
the best way to get a child to do something
different than whatever the behavior as they're doing is not
to just simply punish them and tell them you're not
allowed to do this, but to actually make them understand
what they should be doing and why, so that things

(01:21:37):
actually happen differently. You can't always force people into action
by doing things that simply remove their ability to you know,
say and think what they want to say and think.
But here is a back and forth on CBS where
Margaret Brennan seems to think that Nazi Germany was created
by free speech and not necessarily which is obvious true

(01:22:00):
historically that Nazis took away free speech after they rose
to power in Germany, are restricting your ability to criticize
that government. That is what occurred there years ago. It
sounds like that's what's sort of occurring there now in
saying that politicians aren't allowed to be criticized aline, and
it's dangerous, just like it was before.

Speaker 8 (01:22:20):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech
was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with
the head of a political party that has far right
views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context
of that was changing the tone of it, and you

(01:22:44):
know that that the censorship.

Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
Disagree with you specifically about the right.

Speaker 9 (01:22:48):
Now I have to disagree with you. The free speech
was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was
conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also
be genocidal because they hated Jews, and they hated minorities,
and they hated those that they had a list of
people they hated for primarily the Jews. There was no
free speech in Nazi Germany.

Speaker 6 (01:23:05):
There was none.

Speaker 9 (01:23:06):
that's not an accurate reflection of history. I also think
it's wrong again, I go back to the point of
his speech. Okay, the point of his speech was basically
that there is an erosion in free speech and intolerance
for opposing points of view within Europe.

Speaker 6 (01:23:24):
And that's of concern.

Speaker 3 (01:23:25):
Because yes, it is of concern, and it should be
of concern, and it's bad when we've seen that play
out historically time and again. Now, granted, I want to
actually compare this to one other crazy thing that got
said over the weekend. This was Al Sharpton asking a
question on MSNBC that you have to hear multiple times
to actually accept is real. Like you have to because

(01:23:48):
the first time I heard this question and saw this
audio like that can't be real.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
That has to be fake.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
They couldn't have possibly said this out loud and thought
this made sense.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
Here we go.

Speaker 29 (01:23:58):
One day, our dren's children will read American history and
can you imagine our reading the James Madison or Thomas
Jefferson tried to overthrow the government so they can stay
in power.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
That's the week. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I gotta do
that again.

Speaker 23 (01:24:15):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
The founding fathers, the people behind the revolution itself, to
fight against the government that was forcing them into a
situation they didn't want to be in anymore, that was
oppressing them.

Speaker 6 (01:24:27):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Can we imagine them fighting in overturning the government. Yes,
we can imagine them doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Very very easily. In fact, al here, I'll play it again.

Speaker 29 (01:24:36):
One day, our children's children will read American history, and
can you imagine our reading the James Madison or Thomas
Jefferson tried to overthrow the government.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
I love it. I love it so much. It's so fantastic,
It's so amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
And it went viral recently, mostly in response to all
these other all these other discussions going on and all
the other, you know, ways in which which people are
doing things so very very wrong in the society which
we live. Ted Cruz among those who responded to al
by saying, yes, yes, we can actually envision that it's

(01:25:12):
something that definitely happened.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
And the lack of just you know, simple historical understanding
that can go into saying I don't think you can
misunderstand that by the way, I think there's got to
be something more brazen, more arrogant potentially there. We're not
even going to analyze what you're in the moment thinking
is true. You're just gonna accept it because it helps
make your other point.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
So just move on.

Speaker 3 (01:25:36):
Pretend everything's great, Pretend everything's good, And how dare anyone
ask any questions of me?

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
Or think otherwise.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
But I love this audio so much, probably my favorite
audio I've played in a while on the show, because yeah,
we can envision it happening several more times. And actually
it's even baked into our constitution that we are supposed
to do it if we think the government gets to
a place where it's not okay anymore. What's happening to
us is wrong and not within the beliefs the Founding

(01:26:02):
fathers had for what a free society, a fair society
should be, so they kind of assumed that it might
happen again. Granted, to talk about that now is horrific
and terrible, but yes, we can very easily predict or
picture the things that you're seeming to think are impossible.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
It's just I can't get over it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
I actually I'm so happy about it that I could
just play it again and then move on forever. But
who knows, it'll probably have a life of its own
and live for a very long time, So we'll save
it until later on in the show. Maybe we'll end
President's Day with that epic piece of audio. Quick Break,
a whole lot more coming up. Craig Collins filling in
on the Chad Benson Show.

Eight Irreverence Like, yeah, so what it's the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
This is the Chad Benson show.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
My name IS's Greg Collins filling in Thrilled to be
with You. Love Is Blind has a new season the
Netflix TV show that a whole bunch of people like
what I love about this season of the show, and
I don't watch it. I have no idea what's happening.
That's not why I'm mentioning this at all, but something
that went viral about it is that the television show

(01:28:19):
has three nurses who are all competing for love this
season o. Their names are Meg, she's an oncollogy nurse.
She's thirty one years old, Taylor, a colonoscopy nurse that's
a tough job.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
She's thirty two years old.

Speaker 3 (01:28:33):
And Sarah, she's twenty nine and also an on collegy nurse.
They don't want to date doctors, That's what all three
of them said for the reason to appear on the show.
So they'd rather date via reality television because to them,
that's better than a doctor. Man, I'm a nurse. Doctors
might hit on me, they might find me attractive. I
don't want any of that. I'd much rather find somebody
on a television show that's going to be real and

(01:28:54):
honest and treat me the way I deserve to be treated.

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
This is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
But Love is Blind apparently very proud of its three
female nurse contestants this season and how much they hate
the idea of dating doctors, which I don't know if
that's going to be a good career decision for them
or not, but who knows. It's at least something that's
out there and being heavily promoted for this television show
that I still don't.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
Intend to watch. I'm still not going to tune in,
and I'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
I'll be able to live without ever seeing an episode
of Love is Blind because I hear enough about it
on social media without ever seeing it anyway. All Right,
that's it on that topic. Quick break Craig collinsvilling in
on The Chad Benson Show. But before I break, actually
I should say one other thing. I do like this
a lot too. Another woman went viral for complaining about

(01:29:39):
children that are taken on a Costco trip to the store.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
I would play the audio.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
But there's actually more bad words in it than I expected.
The woman thinks that it's inappropriate for parents to take
their kids to Costco as often as they do for
family trips because it's disruptive her and her shopping. She
was resoundingly shot down by parents who say it's not
their choice to bring their kids. It's a requirement. The

(01:30:06):
kids can't stay home while they go shopping. The kids
have to come with them, and sometimes they do crazy things.
I will be honest, though, I was in a public
setting the other day where a kid was going kind
of nuts, and you're looking at the mom, and you
have two feelings that go through your head. At the
same time, I was raised by a single mom, so
maybe for me even more so too. One you feel

(01:30:26):
bad for the parent because if this is the kid
breaking you in public, behaving as crazy as they're behaving,
and maybe they've been doing this for hours at home
and now they're doing it outside, a part of you
feels bad. But then another part of you also thinks,
you know, this kid probably shouldn't be allowed to do
this in public. There should be a way to rein
in some of this behavior, you know. So I think
that there's a fine line between going as far as

(01:30:48):
to say no kids should be brought into Costco or
any of those establishments, which is insane, and also saying
that we kind of wish that kids behaved a little
bit better or quite a bit better than they do nowadays,
since very often you'll see at least one or several
going rogue and treating every place they're in like a playground,
which doesn't make sense to the rest of us. Baby,

(01:31:09):
all right, quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling
in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 16 (01:31:19):
Such Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you on a holiday,
President's Day. Happy President's Day to our current president Donald Trump.
Even if some people think you're not allowed to say
that anymore, because those people aren't saying I did think
that there was an interesting topic of discussion out there
in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
As far as DOGE goes.

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
This is an expert that was rolled out on CNN,
a staff writer for The Atlantic and applebaumb She apparently
thinks that all of the decisions by DOGE to cut
back on government funding or to expose the ridiculousness of
it to the American people, all of it is just
to traumatize the average worker in the federal bureaucracy, that's

(01:32:29):
all we're trying to do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
Has hurt some people's feelings.

Speaker 24 (01:32:32):
And Musk has sometimes leaked things and sometimes revealed things
that were well known. I mean, most of the information
about usai D spending has been available on government websites forever.
If you wanted to know something about it, you could have.
You could have found out last year.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
But what do you think people thought they could have
done about it just because there was a website that
was accessible that would make claims as to how money
was getting spent and again and tell us all the
things that Musk is saying or is happening, or all
the ways in which there actually is embezzlemented fraud as
far as the claim versus the reality of how the

(01:33:08):
spending goes. But even then, if people went to a
government website looked up information they didn't like, what did
you think the average American believed they could do to
change that? Because with Elon Musk in a position of
authority given to him by the President of the United
States to go ahead and weed out the excess spending
that exists in our government, we now feel like we

(01:33:30):
can do something about it, and even more so when
this information gets shared on social media on x on
Twitter and told to the American people responding to it
by being angry about it seems to also affect change.
Elon Musk's own team asked where they should go next
as far as what they should look into where fraud
is overwhelmingly they were told go to the IRS, and

(01:33:51):
they did so. This is profoundly different than the experience
she's describing, but continue, please.

Speaker 24 (01:33:56):
The goal of doing this seems to have been to
traumatis the people who work for USAG and also to
traumatize people who work for other government institutions. I mean,
everybody saw what happened right at USAID was from one
day to the next destroyed.

Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
This is let's do this the best way we possibly
can and the way that I believe a whole lot
of individuals listening will accept it. I don't give a
crap how traumatized you feel if your job with the
government goes away because it's fraudulent or excessive or somehow
you know, just wasteful and we don't need it. Yeah,
I don't care how traumatized you feel in that moment.

(01:34:33):
I care about the tax paying dollars that we all
spend going to appropriate things, going to things that we
believe they should go to, and not going to places
they shouldn't go. And so if you're doing something that's good,
that most Americans would think is a valuable thing for
you to be doing with our money, then you don't
have to be afraid of getting canned. You don't have
to be afraid of losing your job if you're doing

(01:34:54):
anything else, any version of something that might not be,
you know, on the up and up, or something that
we'd approve of. Yeah, I hope you are afraid to
lose your gig, but i'd love how everything is couched
in emotion. It's not I can't win the argument of.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
Fact with you.

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
At least that seems to be what Anne Applebaum is saying.
I mean, some of it was out there already, and
you knew about this. You didn't really feel like you
could change it, but that was enough for you to
feel like, you know, at least they're telling me how
they're wasting my money. That's all that I deserve. Have
your cake and eat it too kind of moment. But
if I want more than that, you need to shut
up now. Because you're hurting people's feelings.

Speaker 24 (01:35:31):
The congressionally created institution, and Congress had no voice in
destroying it, and its members were smeared and its goals
were distorted. And now everybody who works for any other
part of the federal government knows that the same thing
could happen to them.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
So good, that's my first response out of what she's
saying on CNN and how she's acting as though it's bad.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Good.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
I think that everyone who's within the bureaucracy that is
unelected and has existed forever should be afraid that their
job is going to see a checks and balance this
thing happen, and they might actually lose it. They might
have to go somewhere else that is not fundamentally bad.
Just because people are upset or sad. We need to
make sure that what's happening is actually happening the way

(01:36:14):
we want it to. And when you say that, you
know Congress had a role, or this organization should have
done more, or this branch of our government should have
done more. When the abuse has been years and years
in the making, we've demonstrated to ourselves or to those
that want to change something that they have no interest
in changing it, And so you sometimes have to change

(01:36:35):
things from the outside, working inward, then from asking within
to change itself, because there's too many people benefiting to
be willing to see that actually happen. Which is also
why they were calling for all of this to be
done in private and not in public, not to shame
these organizations and the excess spending that exist in our government.
I mean, honestly, I feel like a broken record. And

(01:36:58):
who doesn't believe that that the government spends a bunch
of money in ways they shouldn't do it. I just
look at what happened during the lockdowns and COVID and
everything else, and then the ridiculous amount of fraudulent payments
that went to fake companies as far as bailouts and
whatnot goes.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
It was insane.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
And we have this all the time, and so a
desire to fix this is not a desire to break
things that Americans actually support. We can always put pieces
back together for things we support by writing new checks.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
It's not that hard.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
It's really not complicated at all in all honesty, all right,
let's play this audio.

Speaker 10 (01:37:32):
And do you feel like you have a seat at
the table right now?

Speaker 6 (01:37:39):
I not only count on it.

Speaker 12 (01:37:41):
I'm sure that we have to be there otherwise it's
not acceptable. But if there is a decision without us
and Putting will go out from all our land will
be in NATO and put On will be in the prison.
So President Trump can do it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:59):
Without That is Ladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
If you don't recognize the voice being asked a question
on Meet the Press about whether or not he Ukraine
has a seat at the discussion between Trump and Putin
in a hope to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
What I think is insane about what he said is
his belief is that if Ukraine isn't at that negotiation table,
that Putin would be given all of their land. That

(01:38:24):
is verbatim what he said. Putin will go after all
our land and then somehow wind up in prison. Ukraine
would be a NATO and Trump can do whatever he wants.
Trump will not surrender all of Ukraine to Russia to
make this go away. That's not something he's talked about
or said. That's not something anyone within his administration has

(01:38:44):
said is likely to occur. Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary,
has said that the most likely scenario is that they
don't get back crimea something that Ukraine said they wanted,
something that was annexed away from them in twenty fourteen,
and something United States wasn't writing blank checks to get
back for Ukraine. These are the realities of this discussion,

(01:39:05):
and they've been the realities of this discussion for quite
a while, and we're finally getting to a place where
people are having those discussions to Ukraine, a country that
for the most part was getting blank checks from the
previous administration and not having to wonder how those decisions
actually would get made when someone else came into power.
It's sort of ridiculous to me, and it's a through

(01:39:26):
line of so many of these discussions. If you talk
about weeding out excess spending in our government, you've heard
Democrats say they want to do it, but you see
action not actually taking place, and the brokenness of that
system continuing to be more broken, or just lasting longer
and longer. When you see the way in which the
United States has unilaterally supported Ukraine's absolute right to defend

(01:39:50):
itself without saying what we think actually is a potential
peace agreement, we have not used what is most necessary
our voice to demonstrate when writing a blank check would
no longer make sense to us, and it doesn't make
sense to us when you're waging that war into places
that were annexed, you know, ten eleven years ago. And

(01:40:11):
so I just think these discussions need to happen in
a way that people have been rejecting them. And then
when you do hear them, and you're in those spaces
that don't want, you know, Trump to potentially be the
one that brings peace to that conflict, then you say
that it's all horrible and terrible and all hate filled,
or whatever else you want to say. It is in

(01:40:32):
order to reject the idea that we actually come to
the conclusion that we should have come two years ago.
And Zelensky did say somewhat recently that he was willing
to forego some of those same things that now the
US government is saying they probably would see as a
potential path to the end of the conflict, things like
not trying to take back Crimea. These are things that

(01:40:54):
Zelynsky himself has even said in interviews that he's done,
which seems to demonstrate his understanding of how Ukraine cannot
fight a endless war. They cannot afford a war for
even a couple more years without the support of the
United States and others. They should know that they would
lose a war of attrition to Russia if not for US.

(01:41:16):
So we do have a seat at the table as
far as what it does and doesn't make sense as
to when you know peace needs to be reached. All right,
one last thing, I just want to play an audio
I find very interesting Robert F. Kennedy Junior, of course,
also now put in a position of power. You do
remember when Trump first made his nominations that many in

(01:41:37):
media seem to claim that these people wouldn't actually be
put into positions of power, they wouldn't be confirmed. And
yet everyone so far, outside of maybe one or two
people that decided to step aside, has gotten the role
that they were nominated for.

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):
Robert F.

Speaker 3 (01:41:51):
Kennedy the latest among them. And my favorite part of
the discussion about him is how places like CNN and
now will say that, you know what, some of the policies,
some of the discussions he's having, they are good and
I support them, and I think the American people will
be healthier because of these things that might happen. But
then you have to go the crazy other road to

(01:42:11):
attack the person because you just.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
Don't like the individual.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
That's to you know, providing the message to the American people,
and that should be the part that matters least. If
the message is something you agree to, I agree to.
If the message is something that we actually think real
action is going to be taken. It's not just words,
but it's it's you know, behavior that matches the words,
then I don't care if I like you or dislike

(01:42:36):
you anymore. But darn it, that's not how everybody acts.
This is Kara Swisher on CNN saying she hates Robert F.
Kennedy Junior more or less, and she doesn't want to
support anything he does, even if she likes the policies.

Speaker 6 (01:42:48):
Just a mess he does.

Speaker 14 (01:42:51):
He's the worst possible vessel for this push because he
promotes junk science and quackery routinely. I say that as
both the sentient being but also a parent in the
autism community. He pushes fake autism curacy, says vaccines cause
autism is one hundred percent not true and so so
so dangerous. So he is the worst person for what

(01:43:13):
is I think a really good and important message and listen.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
I was at TAVE. I love that last part.

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
What a really good, important message. I just hate the
vessel that's delivering something important from a position of power
that I think I can support, this being that kids
should eat healthier and that obesity is a childhood epidemic
right now that needs a strong response to fix something
that even I think Michelle Obama quite a bit, you know,
believed in and talked about when she was the first

(01:43:40):
lady making lunches healthier for kids, etc.

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
Etc.

Speaker 3 (01:43:43):
It is amazing when people no longer care about the
substance of the discussion and care much more about their
opinion of an individual that they would try to shout
down and reject something that they obviously support as far
as an idea itself. It's sad, insane, and honestly where
we've been for quite some time. All right, quick break
a lot more in a very short amount of time.

(01:44:05):
Greg Collins filling in on the chadbentson.

Speaker 26 (01:45:24):
If you like talk radio like Chad Benson likes his meals,
you've come to the perfect place for takeout.

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):

Speaker 3 (01:45:35):
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about,
with just so little time left to do it. A
viral story about how Trader Joe's keeps their egg prices
down is being shared all over social media. I love
something about this story. If you look at it, and
I think The New York Post and Today are two
of the places that actually put it out there. It's

(01:45:57):
pretty obvious the way they keep their egg prices down.
They've limited the amount that you can buy in their
store to one carton of eggs per person, so you
get a dozen. If you go in with more than
one person, you get more than one dozen eggs. But
they also have direct suppliers for themselves. They limit the
amount of different options you have in the world of eggs, etc.

Speaker 17 (01:46:17):
Etc.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
But I love the fact that they buy directly from suppliers.
Is one of the big mentions there.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
And the reason maybe I do and I'm not going
to harp on this for too long, but it just
amused me is when you talk about America first or
anything else, the creation of more stuff here that's then
supplied directly to stores here.

Speaker 2 (01:46:34):
The cheaper that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
Stuff can wind up being eggs is not necessarily among
the things I was thinking of, But as far as
Trader Joe's goes, apparently the way that they keep costs down,
they have relatively shorter distances to transport the eggs to
their individual locations, etc.

Speaker 2 (01:46:50):
Etc. It's just great.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
But so if you're looking for a place to buy eggs,
that's going to be better than anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
Apparently that is a Trader Joe's specifically.

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
Other things out there that I thought were interesting, a
woman convinced a guy to switch seats with her on
a plane. This is something called seat squatting now, and
a lot of people do it by telling the guy
that she didn't want to go sit in her assigned
seat because it was next to her drunk husband. So like,
my husband's drunk up there and I don't want to
deal with that, you go sit with him, And for

(01:47:22):
some reason, the dude did it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
Someone else told this.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
Whole story on Reddit on social media, and a discussion
broke out about how stupid the guy was for accepting
the switch. He should have forced the woman to sit
next to her drunk husband.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
So he didn't have to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:37):
I don't know what else was going on there, but
I just I loved every part of this and how
crazy this is and how bad of a relationship you're
probably in if you point to someone that's hammered several
rows in front of you and you're like, I don't
want to sit next to him, complete stranger, go do it.
This guy needs to be dealt with differently than me
in this public place. We're in for a flight for

(01:47:58):
the next few hours, but nonetheless a viral, and I
guess for some reason the guy actually decided to do it.
Another dude out there that made the news adopted twenty cats.

Speaker 2 (01:48:08):
After moving.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
Knife had owned one cat. Sam is the guy's name.
He's thirty four. His wife's name is Bunny. They found
a bunch of stray cats living behind the house they
had just purchased, so they decided to bring the cats
to some sort of you know, animal control, and then
after animal control screened them and did whatever they needed
to do, the guy decided to adopt them all. So

(01:48:33):
he went from one cat to twenty in his house,
maybe partly to impress the lady. The missus I'm not sure,
but maybe, and I think you're gonna regret that decision.
I think that there is absolutely a scenario that makes
this terrible for you and all involved. But good luck
to you, sir, on your brand new twenty cat life.
That's not gonna possibly go well unless you just leave

(01:48:56):
them all outside like they were before, and then that's
probably not better.

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
That's probably worse somehow.

Speaker 3 (01:49:00):
But yeah, that guy went viral and the Internet loves
him and he's probably enjoying the praise as his life
is now completely changed.

Speaker 2 (01:49:07):
All right, Those are just.

Speaker 3 (01:49:08):
A few of the things out there. There are other things,
of course, as always, but darn it, I'm out of time,
so I don't want to talk about any more of
that stuff. Happy President's Day to you, Greg Collins, filling
in on the Chad Benson Show. Although I guess if
I was going to give you one more topic before
I get out of here. People researchers for science, they said,
sniffed Egyptian mummy corpses.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
Surreal story. You can find it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:32):
I think CBS and others reported on it, and they
said that the corpses smelled woody, spicy and sweet. So
apparently nowhere near as horrific as you thought they would smell.
Thanks for that science. Creig Collins filling in on The
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:50:00):
Is the Chad Benson Show.
