Speaker 1 (00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
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 today, so many things
in fact, that I feel like I don't know where
he starts.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
But let's go ahead and start with Biden last night.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Of course, I don't know if this actually is the
biggest story today, which is surreal.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm going to be honest about that.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Biden, of course, had told us over the weekend that
he was a stepping away, that he was not going
to run for reelection, which probably means that he shouldn't
be the president right now. Most Republicans are saying that
out loud. If the reason that you're not running for
reelection is that you don't think you can do the job,
you've accepted the narrative that you're being told by your

(00:58):
own political party. And by the way, just the strength
of the Democratic Party itself is kind of amazing, or
maybe the weakness of Biden. It can be either take
you can go either road you want. Biden is uniquely
weak and can be bullied by his own party, or
just like Bernie Sanders or anyone before him. The party
is so strong it can do whatever it wants with
whoever it wants at any time, including someone currently in

(01:22):
the role of President of the United States. But nonetheless,
it was officially official last night as Biden spoke. Now,
I thought the most interesting moment of the statement itself
was him saying that he deserved a second term. The
reason that I think that that's interesting is I wonder
if that was one of the only moments where Biden

(01:42):
allowed himself to be honest before deciding to continue to
be afraid of whoever the people are standing on the
other side of the camera with whatever weapons they have.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm assuming that's not happening, forcing Biden to give the
speech he gave the other day, But I'll play that
audio maybe first. And again, I don't actually think this
is the biggest story, And that says something that you
have a president that decides to officially step away and
outrun for reelection this late in the game, being utterly
defiant simply weeks ago that he absolutely was the candidate

(02:14):
for Democrats, and yet it feels like it's a secondary.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Story to some other things going on. But here we go.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
When you elect to meet to this office, I promise
to always lovel with you, to tell you the truth.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
And the truth.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
The sacred cause of this country is larger than any
one of us, and those of us who cheery that
cause cherishes so much, a cause of American Democrats itself
muss united to protect it. You know, in recent weeks
has become clear to me I need to unite my
party in this critical endeator. I believe I reckon as president,

(02:57):
my leadership in the world for America's feet share. Paul
Merrit it is second term, but nothing nothing you can
come in the way of saving our democracy.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
What is coming in the way of saving our democracy
is a question I'd like to ask. Of course, I
know the boogeyman that is Donald Trump. If you're on
the left, they tell you that he is the sole
provider of the end of everything we know and love
about America, about our freedoms, about whatever it might be.
If you're on the left, if you're certain parts of media,
you're screaming this. You're saying this as many times as

(03:31):
you can to as many people as you can tell
it to, regardless of the stuff, including the fact that
Trump's already been in that office one time, and America
was not offended. Our society didn't end, it didn't crater
the way that we're told it would, etc.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Etc. But nonetheless, what is the other threat? Is it
that you would lose?

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Sir?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
And if it would, if it is that you would lose,
and all the pulling is telling you you'd lose. And
now donors don't want to give you any money to
help you run. Why why are they saying that? Because
to go this far now again, I want to remind
people that Biden did the Morning Joe interview just a
short time ago and said that he was the candidate
in no uncertain terms, which is not something you have

(04:10):
to look very hard to find. But Joe said on
the phone calling into Mourning Joe that he was going
to run, that there was no question about it. He laughed,
he thought it was funny. And now we fast forward
a couple of weeks and Biden is not the numb me.
He's not running for reelection. It's insane, and honestly, I
guess I'll start off the show today by saying this,

(04:34):
if you're a Democrat, if you're a left leaning voter,
if you're an independent who's voted on the left from
time to time. The one thing I have a question about,
and I genuinely mean this, is how do you feel
about the conversations the rhetoric that exists in media places
like maybe I'll use the View as an example, where
they claim that they can't understand how anyone could ever

(04:55):
vote Republican.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
They can't get it.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
They don't understand how people support Trump or whatever the
thing is that gets yelled from the rooftops the way
it gets yelled, And then you watch the Democratic Party
just give their middle finger to the process that's supposed
to be a followed here again and again and again,
whether it's Bernie or Biden or whoever, whether it's Biden

(05:18):
the first time in twenty sixteen being muscled out by
power figures within his own party. Trump did not become
the candidate in twenty sixteen by winning over the establishment
of the Republican Party. He became the candidate by destroying
everyone else, the people that the Republican Party wanted to
be the nominees on debate stages. And he became that

(05:39):
candidate by also saying things that people thought, maybe you
shouldn't say, but they were kind of enjoying someone saying
who's running for the role of president, which, honestly, those
are my very basic, very simplistic reactions to how Trump
became the politician or whatever you want to call him
that he is today is he said factual things. Dave

(06:01):
Chappelle has a great joke about this. He said things
that other people didn't say that were true. He said
stuff that again you'd look to your friend and be like, wow,
that was just said to that person. In that way.
It didn't always hate it, you just hurt it. And
then finally he defeated every person who stood against him
that was trying to prevent him from being the candidate,

(06:22):
including the establishment itself. The same thing happened this year,
or well this cycle, I should say. Trump was not
the heir apparent to be, you know, the twenty twenty
four candidate until he first started saying that he was running.
If you were paying attention to the Fox Newses or
whoever the world, the people who might help, you know,

(06:42):
establish the political thinking of a certain side of the aisle.
So again, sort of the democratic process, if that's what
you want to call it, actually benefited Trump, and now
he's run to the point to be the nominee, to
be as popular as he is, and to be someone
who is likely to see a crap ton of support
come November, mostly because someone just tried to kill them.

(07:03):
I don't know how to say that any differently, so
I'll just say it as bluntly as that, and then
you watch the democratic things, so again I want to
re ask the question because I've probably failed to ask
it for the whole open of the show here, and
then we'll get it. We'll move on to other stuff.
When you hear that narrative that the right is the
side of the aisle that is putting the democratic process
itself in jeopardy, or that people are so broken minded

(07:27):
that they're willing to support someone that is so easy
for the left to hate. In his third run now
toward the White House, and the question is out there, like,
how does anyone vote Republican? How does anyone believe these things? Ah,
the maga people of the world are the things that
are destroying our society. That's what Biden himself seems to
say at times. How do you weigh that? How do

(07:50):
you go ahead and understand that within the context of
what's happened just in the last month for Democrats and
for a candidate who definitely did not want to step
aside but has chosen to do it anyway. I don't
know the answer to that question because it's so interesting
to me. But you know what, here, I'll move on
because the actual biggest story today to me is Benjamin

(08:12):
Netanyahoo being in DC having providing the speech he gave.
I'll play some audio of it a little bit later
on saying certain things to liberal protesters, liberal protesters that
seem very proud of things that have nothing to do
with what they're protesting. That also seemed to fly in
the face of a lot of what Hamas would want.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
For the world. It's very there were a couple.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Of lines from net Yahoo that I thought were incredibly strong,
incredibly powerful, regardless of how you feel about him, how
Israel feels, how anybody feels about him. They want the
Israeli people someone who will fight Hamas, and he reinforced
that on the world stage in the United States the
other day. The other big takeaway is that Kamala Harris

(08:56):
left and went to Indianapolis so that she wasn't in
the same place as Benjamin net Yahoo, who's leaving the
United States today, because any sort of conversation between those
two people is going to happen behind closed doors. It's
going to be in private because Kamala is afraid of
her own voter base. She's afraid of her own far
left people that we're protesting and doing crazy stuff in DC,

(09:21):
some of which you can actually see videos of x
on Twitter. But nonetheless, I just can't get over that too.
It's something that I kept thinking about today. The biggest
story is how the conversation between Netan Yahoo and Harris goes,
or net Yahoo and Trump goes, and has nothing to
do with the fact that last night the President decided
that he's not running for reelection after gaining the nomination

(09:43):
from voters that showed up at primaries that, granted, were
crap in a lot of ways, but nonetheless just essentially
throwing out the entirety of the process that's supposed to
elect your nominee in the first place. It's just sort
of profoundly amazing to watch and to not hear more
ridiculous reactions from mainstream media about it, because if this

(10:04):
was conservatives, the what aboutism is so easy to play
here if it was the right and if they handed
a nomination to Trump that, say God forbids someone else
had won, say Nicki Haley had done much better run
it leading up to this, and then all of a sudden,
Trump's the nominee right now? Can you picture the way that
media would handle that, and the way that media is
handling the Biden thing is to me simply the most

(10:28):
apparent demonstration of the bias that exists that you can
ever find, as easily as you can find it in
our society. Right, I'll take a break on that lot
of I don't know whatever that was soapboxing. I promise
to play more audio and do more lighthearted stuff as
we go here today. But first, Chad Benson one of

is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
Zits are cool now. I think that might be according
to the New York Post or some other places. Well, actually, okay,
that's not entirely true. It's not the ZiT themselves themselves.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
That are cool.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's the little patches the gen z people wear, the
pimple patch that goes over the ZiT, or maybe the
lack of a ZiT.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
There's something that's just wrong with this.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Like high school version of me, who did have some
acne issues at times as I was going through puberty,
would be mad at fake pimple patch wearing people who
are doing this for social media or some other kind
of a clout whatever you call it. In today's society,
there's photos of young people with like star stickers, it
looks like on their face they're supposed to actually be

(13:27):
a little like pimple remover patches.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
And again, kids are wearing them. They think they're cool.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
They're doing the Nelly band aid move in a way
that I haven't seen before, and I just I don't
know how to deal with it for a lot of reasons.
But again, it's not the pimples themselves that are actually cool.
It's the remover patch that you wear on your face.
I had a buddy tell me that you should just
get a face tattoo.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
If that's true, if.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
You want to really demonstrate to other people, how specially
are I just go full face tat and then that'll
be the best move yet, or maybe a weird meta
version of face tattoo of pimple patch remover sticker, and
then I don't know what I think.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
The world just blows up in that situation.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
But nonetheless, I'm very annoyed by this story, very confused
by it. And honestly, fashion is really anything, I guess,
depending on what people say they like at any given time,
anything in fact can be cool or not cool. And
I guess I'm just jealous because I would have had
a lot of pimple patches all over my face at
certain points in high school and it would have been
really cool apparently if I were in high school now

(14:34):
other things out there.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
I do love this story.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Most people, if given an option, would quit their job
to be an influencer.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
The way they were asked this was actually kind of
interesting though. They were told that success was guaranteed if
you could go to full time influencing and away from
whatever the job is you're currently doing. Would you choose
current job or influencer job, didn't matter what age you were.
Between eighteen and sixty people were asked this, and most
people said, yeah, I'd picked the social media world. I

(15:05):
think mostly because of the assumption, and I'm not trying
to overly respect the influencers out there. I'm not exactly
happy with that version of society and how popular it is.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Nonetheless, it's not an easy job.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
It's a tough gig to actually make tons of money
doing it. Eventually, I think you hire a whole team
and you do a lot of stuff that feels like
it's work when it used to probably feel fun at
some point. Like any other job, it probably gets annoying
with time. But nonetheless, as I talk about that, I
can't get over the fact that the one thing that
made this as one sided of a survey as it

(15:40):
was is telling people the success was guaranteed because if
you ask people, are you going to quit your job
and attempt to be an influencer today, the older crowds
would have all been much more realistic and said no.
All of us that are not gen Z would have
resoundingly passed on that option, because it's available to you
all the time. It's available right now. Anybody out there

(16:01):
hearing this topic that thinks they do better as an influencer,
go ahead, baby, the sky's the limit.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
You do your thing.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
All the social media platforms are turned on, and you
can be on all of them and just see if
it works. The only difference is of course, the whole Well,
if I'm going to succeed anyway, I might as well
do this here. One last thing I just thought this
was funny too. A store clerk tried to steal a
million dollar winning lottery ticket. One of the reasons he
tried to do this was because it was one of

(16:29):
those scratchers, and the dude who turned it in didn't
even play the game. He just scratched the bar code
on the front, handed it to the clerk and said, hey,
did I win anything? And the clerk realized he had
no idea, so he said no, even though the guy
actually won a million dollars.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
The clerk then threw.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
The ticket out, dug it out of the trash, and
showed up at I think a Tennessee a lottery commission
to claim his one million dollar prize. Now darn it.
They asked him some questions like do you work at
the store that sold the ticket? He had to say
yes to that, and then when they checked the video surveillance,
they watched him digging in the trash to pull the
ticket out. Luckily, they were able to find the real

(17:06):
owner of the ticket and let that guy know he's
going to be a millionaire, but crazy and just lazy
actually in all honesty, but probably something a lot of
clerks have thought about, like as soon as you get
handed the million dollar ticket, man, I'd love to just
keep this for me. Quick break a lot more Craig
Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Such Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, his Chaddsi.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
This is the Chan Besson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Stuff to talk about, as I say all the time,
and yet let's talk a little bit about Kamala Harris,
who's really, truthfully the biggest story right now, mostly because
of how crazy it is that she's already assuming she's
the nominee. And I feel like some people might actually
have issue with that, but we don't know. Maybe democrats won't.
Trump yesterday started targeting Kamala Harris in some of the

(18:30):
things he's saying now as far as his run for
the office of president, and he said he wasn't gonna
be nice. So let's hear a little bit of that audio.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
For three and a half years, Lion, Kamala Harris has
been the ultra liberal driving force behind every single biten catastrophe.
She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our
country if she ever gets the chance to get into office.

Speaker 9 (18:55):
We're not going to let that happen.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
I know it's interesting about this and actually going after
Kamala's record itself, she was voted when she was a senator.
Is one of the most left leaning individuals in the Senate,
which might sound like a good thing if you're, say,
a younger voter who's disenfranchised with Biden and who wants
to maybe sit the election out entirely, but it's definitely

(19:19):
not a good thing if you're any other voter within
the Democratic Party who doesn't want the far left version
of ideology to be a thing that actually is in play.
But Harris, not to her credit at all, seems willing
to answer almost any question that she's asked about a
far left policy with that seems like something we should

(19:39):
talk about and something we should think about, and something
we should absolutely consider. It is amazing again to me
that someone who's going to run on a bunch of
different policy decisions and whatever you want to call it,
mistakes that have been made over the last four years,
is going to try to also distance herself from it.

(19:59):
Probably my favorite of this is the borders are thing.
I'm not sure if you've been paying attention to this
at all, but Kamala Harris was quote unquote anointed the
borders are and I know a lot of left leaning
media is now telling you that that's a lie, and
that conservatives are the one that use that term, that
made that up. That are horrible, terrible people that lie

(20:20):
to you constantly. But a quick piece of audio has
popped up all over social media showing the amount of
times that regular or whatever you call that version of media,
the one that you know claims to not be biased
at all, use the term borders are to refer to
Kamala's role her vice presidential appointment out of being in

(20:41):
charge of dealing with the horrible crisis that was the
amount of people who crossed legally into a country. This
is not right leaning media. There's no Fox News is here,
There's no you know, further right than that. This is
all MSNBC, CNN, CBS, all of those individuals. So I
just figured i'd play this first and then I'll remind
you of something that happened just a couple of years

(21:01):
ago too in the world of Kamala plus.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
The border quote unquote, borders are vice president. Harris was
not a borders are game time vice president and borders
are Tamala Harris facing some backlash what he said about
Harris and immigration was not true.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
She was never appointed borders are.

Speaker 10 (21:18):
And this will be her first visit to the US
Mexico Border regents. And she was appointed as the borders
are by President Biden.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
People gonna have to counter the misinformation. You already hear
folks talking about the borders are. She wasn't the borders are.

Speaker 11 (21:29):
President Biden tapped Kamala Harris, Vice President Kamala Harris to be.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
The borders are Now.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
She wasn't the borders are. That's what Republicans labeled her.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
They were very critical of Kamala Harris, especially in her
role as borders are Now.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
What she's up against his folks lying about her border record,
calling her borders are.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Kamala Harris, who was appointed as the borders are.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
The Biden team didn't declare her the borders are. They
wanted her to work on kind of the ride.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
That's just a few examples and there's way more that
I could provide to you if you want. At some
point of all the times that left leaning media called
Kamala Harris the borders are, and they called her that
a lot, And now they're saying that she was never in.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Charge of that part of the border.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
She was always just in charge of finding out the
root causes of the border issue. You know why that's
being said. It's being said because that's the only job
that the vice president wanted. She didn't want more of
a role. She didn't want Biden to assign her the
totality of dealing with the border problem. And that's usually
what happens, by the way, if you're the president of

(22:29):
the United States and you see a horrible issue barreling
toward you, you hand it to the vice president and
pretend it's theirs, even though of course the whole administration
failed on this point. But that's something that I find
so amusing, And so it brings up the Lester Holt
interview that happened right after Kamala Harris was anointed The

(22:49):
Borders Are in which he asked her several times, are
you gonna go to the border, and she said, I'm
not going.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
How dare you ask me?

Speaker 2 (22:58):
That it's demonstrating, now that she has officially been anointed
the candidate, that her version of history can be the
only version of history that we use. Her story or
whatever they say online when they're trying to be feminist
about something, even if it's not actually the real version
of what happened. But here's the back and forth Lester
Holt from a couple of years ago to demonstrate how

(23:19):
this absolutely was a topic that mainstream media was tying
to the vice president based on the decisions of the president,
and now it's pretending it never.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Did quickly put a button.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Do you have any plans to visit the border at
some point?

Speaker 12 (23:33):
You know we are going to the border. We've been
to the border. So this whole, this whole thing about
the border. We've been to the border. We've been to
the border. You haven't been to the border, and I
haven't been to Europe. I mean, I don't understand the
point that you're making.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
You're not appointed to the Czar of Europe right now,
you're not in charge of anything that's involving Europe. That's
all stuff that Biden was handling in twenty twenty one,
or at least that he was claiming that he was
handling in twenty twenty one. He was giving you the
border crisis as an issue that you were going to
be at the forefront of. That's why people were asking
that question back then. I love the rewriting history thing,
though I do I genuinely find that amusing because if

(24:14):
you aren't paying attention, you can start to be animated
by something that the receipts now can very easily prove
is just utterly wrong. All Right, something else out there
that I can't get over. So this protesting happened. Benjamin
Netnaw who spoke in front of Congress yesterday, and a
whole bunch of protesters showed up and did crazy stuff.

(24:35):
I think one of the worst things that happened was
taking down of American flags and also writing graffiti including
I love Hamas on some of the statues that exist
in Washington, d C. That stuff was terrible.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
That was awful.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Unfortunately, we've seen stuff like that before. But one of
the better moments was something that netna Who said, netaw
Who took on many of those protesters, many of the
people who even had certain flags and things that they were,
you know, holding up or signs that seem to be
claiming that they stand with Gaza and that the individuals

(25:12):
who they are are people that you know, probably talk
about a lot of issues in their own lives. And
then one specific thing that was discussed was the difference
between how Iran treats gay people and how there are
people standing outside d C holding up flags that say

(25:32):
or holding up signs that say gaze for Gaza. Now,
I'm gonna play what net Yahu said in response to this,
because again I thought it was probably some of the
most powerful stuff he said, and yet even part of
what he articulated was something that seemed to not get
the same response as an earlier version of the same
idea in front of the House. Because I wonder if

(25:54):
people just didn't know what they should do in response
to but not what they actually wanted to do, of
what the rules are, because I think a lot of
people do unfortunately still think about that.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
So let's actually play that part first.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
This is net and Yahoo making a comparison between Iran
and how horribly it treats people that identify as gay,
and then gay people in the United States saying that
they're protesting in support of a terrorist group that is
supported that is funded by Iran. This was the moment
that probably got the most discussion.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's amazing, absolutely amazing.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for Gaza.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
They might as well hold up signs saying chickens for.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
KFC now again, just before that, he said something much
more general about how gay people are treated in Iran
and how terrible it is and how definitely not in
the twenty twenty four United States Ideals of Society, that

(26:59):
world is actually like legitimately awful and horrible and dangerous
to say that you're gay and live in a place
like Iran, and so to support anyone, to support Hamas,
to support anyone that is funded by Iran, and to
stand outside. What it really demonstrates, in my opinion, is

(27:20):
how selective anyone can be about the issues that they
talk about in their own lives that they believe to
be supporters of. And maybe a whole lot of us
do this, like maybe almost everybody out there to some
degree does some version of this in a society that's
so polarized by the way it is now, I'm not sure.
That's simply a question. I'm not accusing us of anything

(27:41):
as a collective. I'm just wondering out loud, because if
you are to do a little bit of research and
you know, historical background information, it would be much harder
for someone in our country who is gay to stand
up and support Hamas and write things like you love
Hamas on statues in DC when you know where their

(28:02):
money's coming from and how they and how Iran and
how so many others treat people that are are gay.
And so it's just it's a very simple statement of fact.
And of course it's going to get tangled and screamed,
and everyone's going to yell in all their corners and
say what's homophobic or whatever it is about any of
these things. But you can't change the way that the

(28:23):
rest of the world behaves. If you want to stand
in support of something that you think as simple as
children are being killed, they're being killed by someone who's
a war criminal, and that needs to stop. If you
oversimplify an issue to stand with something, I think you
then have to accept the fact that something you stand
with might be exactly against you as a human and

(28:46):
you have to be okay with that to keep throwing
your support wherever you're throwing it. And I just don't
understand it. But anyway, it was a very powerful moment
for sure, and something that I think a lot of
people will be talking about if you hear about it
for at least another couple of days. All right, quick
break A lot more This is Craig Collins filling in
on the Chad Benton Show. Chad's one of the hardest

Speaker 7 (30:09):
Chad Benson Chill.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Welcome to chest Ched. No, not the country, the institution,
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about. Is it a sign from God?
I don't know what the sign would be. By the way,
I'm not trying to say it's anything specific. If a
fish hits your car that fell from the sky, I
don't have an answer. I just have the question. I
also have audio. This is a couple in New Jersey,

(30:45):
Cynthia and Jeff for their names. They said they were
driving around their fancy Tesla when all of a sudden,
a fish fell from the sky and smashed their windshield. Now, granted,
they have a fairly plausible explanation for what they think happened.
A hawk or an eagle might have scooped up a
fish and then let it go at some point, but
still when stuff falls from the sky that shouldn't fall

(31:05):
from the sky, I at least would pause to wonder
what's happening here? What message am I trying to be told?
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Oh wait, hold on, let me make sure you can
actually hear this audio. Here a got crazy honking.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
We were like, holy crap, look at this. It looks
like fish scales and blood on the windshield. Yeah, we're digging.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
Somebody threw it at the car and it's somebody after us.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Is it vandals or you know.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
We you know, we said we're glad it didn't hit us.

Speaker 12 (31:34):
We also have an eagles nest in our yard in
the back, so we think we think it was probably
the eagle.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, it might not be, though it might be a
message from God himself or from somebody else saying something
to you.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
I'm not sure what it is, or the mafia.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
I mean, when you have fish and other things, I
think a horse's head is actually supposed to be involved
more often. Maybe it's just the mob that's going on there,
But I would I would have pause for concern. I
would definitely ask some people some things.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
All right.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Something else that went viral that I thought was pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Now, granted, this isn't true, and I've admitted several times
whenever I fill in for Chad that I'm a juvenile.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
I'm a child.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I find things funny that I probably shouldn't, including farting.
Out to me, farting is probably always going to be funny,
and it just is what it is.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
I can't help it. I can't fix it.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
But apparently somebody went viral for claiming the Disney their
parks had banned farts, and not just that if you
get caught doing it, you'll be in a whole lot
of trouble. Snopes, i think, even for a while said
it was accurate, which is even better and hilarious, until
eventually finding out that it was a parody site that
put up this audio in the first place. But here's

(32:42):
a kid making a claim he knows his false on
social media that enough people thought was real that became
a whole thing for a short amount of time. Essentially,
it's the dream of the Onion or any of those
satirical news organizations to have someone cover your fake story
like it's a real story like this.

Speaker 13 (32:59):
Anyone who was scot farting inside a Disney theme park
may be kicked out and potentially banned for life. Disney
will be using thermal cameras installed throughout their parts the
track if and when a guest farts. If seen farting
on one of these cameras, Disney World Security will be
sent out to find you and detain you. The craziest
part is this applies to both adults and kids. The
good news is bedrooms are safe zones. Disney is doing

(33:21):
this to make the guest experience better for others.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
I kind of just love the phrase bathrooms or safe
zones in general because of the world in which we live.
But I'll tell you something else, and this is just
a very quick personal story, and it was at a
six Flags in Jersey. It was not, in fact, at
a Disney park, and I wish that farting had been banned,
but it was not. I remember my family and I
did like the log ride. It's the one where you
get splashed at the end by water and you get

(33:44):
in the log like two people at a time, and
we're a group of five. It's a single mom and
four kids, and so one of the five of us
had to sit with a stranger in the log ride,
and I was chosen as the guy who had to
sit with the stranger in the log ride. I'm not
the oldest, I'm third, and I think it was only
like eleven at the time. But this guy must have
had terrible park amusement park food just before log ride,

(34:08):
because no part of the ride was fun.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
All that happened to me was constant farting.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
And horrible smells, and then eventually the stopping of something
you think a roller coaster or any sort of ride
of the theme park is short until you're sitting next
to the gassest man in society, and then it's the
longest thirty seconds of your life.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
It was for me at that age. I wish that
farts had been banned.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
My family still thinks it's funny to this day to
talk about the fart ride that I was on one
time when everyone else went on the log ride, because
my experience was much much worse and just very, very different.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
But nonetheless I do find this funny.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
And I also love the thermal camera use idea there,
because why not that makes sense totally that you use
some thermal cameras you see who's doing stuff, and then
if you catch anybody doing something horrible. I you go
ahead and make sure that they're in as much trouble
as humanly possible. It is a kind of fantastic. But
all right, that's another thing out there in the world.
There is a lot to talk about today, of course,

(35:06):
a lot to get to that's not a farting and
being on any sort of amusement park ride. I can't
help myself in talking about it though and thinking about it,
because again, my family doesn't let me live there. I
didn't do anything, by the way, I had no role
in it whatsoever other than the fact that I sat
on a ride I got farted at, and then I
got off the ride. And my family thinks that hilarry

(35:27):
is to this day. But all right, this is the
Chad Benson Show. I'm more coming up in a bit.
We got a lot going on here today, as I said,
to talk about, we have certainly the Benjamin net Yahoo fallout.
Senator Ted Cruz is one of those people who spoke
more about exactly what's going on there or exactly what
his opinion is of how everything went, and then of

(35:50):
course the end product. There is this other thing that
I just find so fascinating though, and I can't help
talking about and I'm sure it'll come up more in
the next minutes here after our break.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
But there were.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Effigies of Benjamin NETANYAHUO that were burned. There were videos
of Capitol police being punched in the face. There were
so many crazy things that if you wanted to, you
can make a very deceptive video that convinced you the
most dangerous day in the Capitol happened during these protests
over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
More in a bit.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Independent Thoughts, Independent life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff to talk about to you. All the police officers
are going to be tried. At least two are going
to be tried. I think one is being arraigned today
on the horrible, horrible tragedy that was the school shooting
in Uvaldi, Texas, back in May of twenty twenty two.

(37:11):
One of these officers has already entered a plea of
not guilty. That's the former school district police chief Pete Aredondo,
who people have probably heard at least that name. If
you've heard any name as far as this goes. And
now here's what I think is most interesting about this discussion,
and I'll only talk about this briefly because a lot
of the court minutia stuff that's going to happen will

(37:31):
probably take quite some time to be figured out. People
do deserve to be held responsible for the horrific actions
of that day, and that includes the police and their
failure to do what they should have done, which was
breach that room and take out the shooter. They should
not have considered him a barricaded subject and someone who
wasn't capable of putting more lives at risk, because he

(37:53):
absolutely was. There were people that were bleeding out inside
that classroom might have been capable of being saved. We
don't know. We'll never know the answer to some of
those questions. But here's the thing that matters more to
me than any of that. The reason that these officers
need to be held accountable to these mistakes and need
to be punished in court if they did things that

(38:14):
were egregious to the job that they have, is because
of how important policing is in general. And that's the
subtext that's going to be gone from some of the
way that say national media talks about this, or even
the politicians talk about this. We rely on cops to
be literal heroes in our society, to run toward danger,

(38:35):
to put their lives at risk, to save lives, to
save children that are at risk of a horrible thing
like what happened to Uvaldi. Every day we count on
those individuals to be at the forefront of those types
of things, and it's the job, and any cop that
I've ever talked to, I've even actually gotten to experience
some training the cops go through, especially after Uvaldi. Four

(38:57):
active shooter situations, including kind of one weird one where
I was in a school where cops were going through
training exercises that a school had allowed them to rehearse
certain training in. Now, granted it was on a weekend
and there was there were no kids there or anything,
of course, but nonetheless it was it was sort of
eerie to be sitting in that school in that you know,
class room a couple of them watching these practice exercises

(39:21):
occur because of the reality that this could happen someday.
But nonetheless, the reason that you need to hold people
accountable is because of how important and how wrong our
society has been for the last few years in discussing
the heroicness or the specialness of the job of policing,
and this is why they deserve such significant praise on
a daily basis for doing this job well, which a

(39:41):
whole lot of cops do, and certainly is in the
case again in Uvaldi. I just couldn't get over that
and wanted to at least discuss that short, you know,
take a little bit on today's show, because when I
think about someone hesitating for whatever reason, whether they actually
believed that the person intro large I was right and
that there were no lives at risk, or just anything

(40:04):
else that happens. And there's other examples of other school
shootings where people say it was a security guard or
a resource officer didn't act the way that you've been
trained and supposed to act. If you're being a human,
A part of you could say, Man, I don't know
if I would rush into that room. I don't know
if I would. Do you think you would? You want
to hope that you would, especially if it's kids lives

(40:25):
they're at risk, But putting your own life at risk
is a challenge that not many of us face, and
so that's something that needs to be addressed or needs
to be at least mentioned as this discussion goes that, yes,
the human being and most of us would would potentially
be afraid or choose not to do something.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
And that's why police.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Are special and deserve to be treated as such by
our society and not turned into the enemy like has
so often happened in a lot of these discussions that
are going on. And honestly, if you as you watch
a Kamala Harris ascend to the role of being the nominee,
if that's truly what actually happens. And I have one
other thing that I want to talk about today. I'm
batting back and forth in my brain how I go

(41:02):
about this. I'm a white dude in my late thirties,
and I know the rules of twenty twenty four. Tell
me what I am and I'm not allowed to talk
about I'm not saying I care about that.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
I just know what they are.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
But there's this new video that's emerged of JD Vance
making a joke about Kamala Harris being a cat lady
and how childish cat ladies are running the country or
you know, coming up with certain policies that are bad
because if you don't have kids, you don't understand things
a certain way. And not that you know this about me,

(41:36):
not many people would when I fill in on Chad's show,
I don't have any children.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
My wife and I have been married for several years.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
We tried to have kids and it didn't work out
for us, and we're not exactly sure the exact cause
of why. And I don't want to get into that
anymore alive on a radio show a national want at that.
But nonetheless, we don't have kids, and so I'm sure
there's things I don't understand and conversations I have with
family members that I can't really get the men mentality
that they're in because I don't have that life experience

(42:03):
and it probably profoundly changes you. At the same token,
I understand that you don't want to vilify a decision
that might not be a decision for.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Everybody out there in the world.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
You don't want to have a conversation that maybe had
something else at play as to how it occurs or
how it becomes what it is. But that's a huge
discussion point in political circles right now. How is Trump
going to effectively go after Kamala Harris and what things
could he say or could conservatives say that would potentially

(42:35):
alienate voters, and they mean specifically female voters because they'll
sound sexist or they might be who knows what they'll
actually be as far as the intention goes. I don't
want to go any further. But that's a worry, that's
a genuine concern. You know, it's a shame in all
honesty about that. And again, white guy in my thirties
late thirties, who I guess a whole lot of people

(42:56):
in media or at least on social media are going
to want to attack for saying this.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
We can't have these conversations in a way that's just
honest that someone needs it to be something else, because
I can tell you out loud, definitively, as someone that
doesn't have kids, that I know there's stuff I don't understand.
I know there's discussions about what goes on inside classrooms
or you know, not the horrificness of say you've aaldy specifically,
but anything you can name anything, the discussion about what

(43:23):
books should be banned or what books shouldn't be banned
in classrooms that I can only take so much of
an understanding to or an appreciation for, because I'm not
a person who's worried about my own kid in their
own classroom. And so it's interesting that you can't say
that out loud without being accused of being something horrible
when it might actually have some validity in a discussion

(43:44):
about what policies are in play and which ones aren't.
It might be a true sentiment, a true statement to
say that this experience would make you a different person
and not having it would influence the things that you
believe are the things that you think are most important.
And yet, darn it, if you say it in any way,
any context at all, you're going to be screwed. And
so I find that interesting. It's almost as if media

(44:05):
is tipping their hat and saying to us that what
they're going to do is make sure to misrepresent anything
that Trump or anyone else says about Harris as sexist,
as racist, as whatever it is, in order to make
sure that you further try to vilify someone that you
might not be able to beat on policy issues themselves.

(44:25):
That's not the issue at a stake anymore. It's whether
or not Trump is a sexist or a racist or
something else I don't even know, but that honestly seems
so much more important to a lot of media than
whose policies would better help our society. One last thing,
just quickly, I just want to mention this before I
take a break to the economy is doing better today

(44:46):
than people expected. Some of the Q two numbers are
better than people expected, and even inflation seems to be
a trickling down a little bit. You know, the person
that's going to be most upset about this news, it's
not Trump, It's not concerned servatives, because still things are
more difficult to pay for than they should be at
the grocery store. Still, the average American has an experience

(45:06):
that's worse than he had a few years ago, or
she had a few years ago. That part hasn't changed.
The person who's going to be most mad about this
is Biden, who didn't want to step down, who eventually
did choose to step down, and then gave the speech
last night, because any actual information that showing inflation is
starting to cool is something that he would want to
take a tremendous amount of credit for and something that

(45:27):
he's going to be shoved out of the room when
credit is being thrown around.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
By his own party.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
So it is interesting to me that I saw that today,
breaking and bouncing around other places how good the economy is,
and obviously how much that's not a win anymore for
the guy who's actually at the top of the totem pole,
because no one has told him that he's at the top,
and his own party doesn't treat him like he's at
the top, which is something else to talk about throughout
the day.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
I guess all right, I will.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Take another break after the break, a little bit sillier
stuff coming up on a Thursday, when serious stuff seems
like to be so much more than I want to discuss.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
For whatever reason, I will do a little bit of both.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
I promise I'll keep you updated on anything and everything
important as well. This is the Chad Benson Show. My

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Wears mak don't be a cutie pie.

Speaker 14 (47:40):
Probably sit around and cooks and suits and eat grand
desserts and just get off fat and sassy my life.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
fill again, thrilled to be with you. There's a viral
piece of video and audio out there that I'm not
going to play just because censoring it was basically impossible.
It was a whole bunch of bad words on all
sides of the conversation. But a California homeowner went out
to what is essentially a public beach, even though it

(48:17):
happens to be just behind her multimillion dollar home, and
tried to kick people off of the portion of the
beach that is behind her house, claiming that she owned
the property that was hers, yelling all kinds of obscenities
at a family and saying, get out of here, get
out of here, this is my property. The person who's
recording the video seems to willingly move. However, some bad

(48:38):
words get exchanged back and forth. Again, That's why I'm
not going to play the audio. But the thing I
love the most about it is the breakdown, And I
think this is in the New York Post of one
of several places of how this actually works. Legally, it
is understood in California that the state owns the beach
waterway of the Mean High Tideline for everyone.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
To have access and enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
So it doesn't matter if you own a multimillion dollar
Laguna beach or anywhere else. Not a lot of privately
owned beach space in California, at least according to this conversation.
The state and other public entities like counties and cities
might also own dry sand beaches landward of the Mean
High Tideline for public use. Well, there is private property

(49:18):
ownership along some beaches and bluffs. The state owns most
hide lands, sub merged lands, and other stuff. So again,
for the most part, this woman was just making stuff
up and does not own the beach he's on. But
it did make me think about like the craziness of
I guess beach fights.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
I don't know why, but they're unique.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
There's sort of like a Chuck e Cheese before Chuck
e Cheese became a crazy fight for a fight a
place for a fight. Excuse me because it feels like
there's different rules man when he got in a fight
on the beach, and especially if there's a crazy lady
screaming that she owns the beach, I usually just.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Move, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
I've dealt with this on the Jersey Shore from time
to time, where someone crazy is telling me they own
a spot that they definitely own. And I don't want
to fight with a man I'm on the beach. I
want to move down a little bit and have fun.
So it's fine. But this lady going viral half a
million views so far and claiming she owned stuff she
doesn't own bind her house is probably going to cause
more harm to her than you wanted.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
But it is interesting.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
And the fact that there's a crap ton of obscenities
being thrown as there's kids and stuff around I probably
doesn't make the situation any better. All right, Another story
out there I saw that I thought was interesting. It's
a long held notion according to a recent study. I
think the study is actually out of France or no Canada,
excuse me, although I think research was also done in France,
which is not surprising that moderate amounts of drinking, maybe

(50:38):
even drinking wine or something, is good for you.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
There's a bunch of studies that say that.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
But the new research proclaims that no know, how dare
you any course sort of moderate drinking is going to
have more negative impacts in your health than positive impacts.
There's a scientist that's quoted in this, his name is
Tim Stockwell, talking about it's simply a not completely safe
to drink of any level at all.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Two reactions of this.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
The first one, we don't care the people who drink things,
whatever the things are that you drink, as long as
you do it in moderation, as long as you do
it without, you know, doing anything reckless or horrible. You
don't care. You're not checking on what the research is saying.
As far as the only reason anyone ever cares about
being told about a health benefit of drinking is to

(51:21):
win an argument that you have with somebody in your life, like, well,
but there's a benefit to this wine with this food
item right now. That's just to win an argument you
don't actually care. That's at least my opinion. The second
thing I was thinking about is how funny it is
that these types of studies come out all the time
that refute each other, because I'm sure I can pull
up twenty different examples of how this is not true,

(51:42):
and studies say one hundred percent there are.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Benefits, and then there's other studies that say there aren't.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
You just have to wait like a week or a
day for some study to come out that tries to
disprove your study and tell you that you're dumb to
think the thing that they told you to think last week.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
I just enjoy that.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
So the newest one out there, no moderate drinking, even
a glass of wine is good for you, and I
will be sure to report back immediately when the next
one tells you that it is and more important than
anything else.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
We don't care. A whole lot of us don't care
at all.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
All Right, other things out there that I thought were interesting.
There apparently is a twice yearly shot that's being talked
about now that could protect you against AIDS.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
That's real.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
It's one hundred percent effective. New infections in women specifically
were studied. A study was published and put out the
other day. I don't have a profound reaction to a
discussion about shots and protection from illnesses like that, just
the idea that so far after the pandemic, so far
after COVID and all the craziness that was the COVID vaccine,

(52:46):
and some of the real honest scientific information that has
come out about it in the last couple of years
that has demonstrated all the things you were told that
weren't true early on in the pandemic, and then any
story about anything that comes out after that that says,
we have effectiveness here, but it's a shot. And how
many skeptics exist in our country Now. I feel like
there were always some skeptics to the efficacy of vaccines

(53:10):
or any of that stuff, But now I think that
that's probably through the roof, through the fault of the
side of the aisle that said doubting science meant you
were a big giant moron, because all of the data,
all the information that comes out seems to demonstrate the
lack of consensus opinion on some of these things at
the very least. All right, you know what, Actually, one
other quick thing I thought this was interesting too. Mark Wahlberg,

(53:32):
The actor went viral for working out at two am,
bragging about it recently. The dude's in good shape. He's
not exactly a twenty something too, so it's impressive. The
dude hits the gym as much as he does, but
no one else is going to follow suits and having
to go at two am. If you got to go
that early to the gym to be in good shape,
hand me a pizza. I'll be just fine with it,

(53:53):
and up glass of wine. I'll be fine with it too.
I don't know why the two am brag became a thing,
but some fitness experts are saying it's a waste your time.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
To do it. Quick break a lot more in a bit.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Greg Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Such Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Chad is back tomorrow.
Trump on Fox and Friends called into the show and
had a conversation about some of the crazy protesting that
existed in DC. I'll tell you again, I don't know
how many times I'm probably going to say it today
on the show, but probably more that. If you go

(54:59):
to so social media right now, specifically to x or Twitter,
you could easily build yourself a set of video pieces
that made the protesting in DC over the last two
days seem like some of the most violent stuff we've
ever seen. There are images of cops, Capitol police, being
punched in the face and being knocked over. There's a

(55:21):
bunch of stuff happening. Twenty people i think total, got arrested.
Whether or not these are absolutely unique occurrences or a
large amount of violence within the Capital during the protesting
is your own decision, your own discussion point.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
It's just fascinating to me that you could do it
if you wanted to.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
You could build a quote January sixth version of a
video demonstrating the violence that occurred over the last couple
of days, which should make you question the validity of
any of those things that you see. I not necessarily
believe that the protesting in DC over the last two
days was as violent as anything else that occurred. And
I'm not trying to say that January sixth was a
lovely day where people went to a park. I'm just

(56:03):
being honest with you and saying how eerie it is
to see some of those images, to know that they're real,
and then to know how easy it would be to
cut them together. I now, granted as I say that
Trump was talking about how burning the American flag in
the United States is something that should probably have a
more severe penalty tied to it, which I don't think
a lot of Americans would truly disagree with. Protesting is

(56:24):
one thing. Doing something like this or writing you know,
we love moss on statues and things in DC that
seems to be a tatt too far. Here's what Trump
said specifically about the American flag and how it was
used in certain protests.

Speaker 10 (56:39):
He took the American flag down. They were writing hamas
on the bill outside of Union Station. What does a
Donald Trump do if he takes office to these people
on the street.

Speaker 9 (56:52):
Rarely have we seen anything like this, And I think
you should get a one year jail sentence if you
do anything to desecrate the can flag. Now people will say, oh,
it's unconstitutional. Those are stupid people. Those are the stupid
people that say that we have to work in Congress
to get a one year jail sens When they're allowed
to stomp on the flag and put lighter fluid on

(57:14):
the flag and set it a fire. And when you're
allowed to do that, you get a one year jail,
sens and you'll never see it again. And all over
the world, Putin and President She of China, all over
the world, they're watching this. Kim jongmun, he looks at
us like we're a bunch of babies.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Now, you know what, to be totally honest, and I'm
not trying to fully back everything that Trump says. They're
a one year punishment for burning an American flag is
something you probably won't actually see happen in this country,
regardless of if you think it's right or wrong to
institute something like that. When you say that the world
is watching the protesting going on in the United States
and the way that it's shaped, and what I said
a second ago about how you could easily cut together

(57:54):
certain videos that would potentially convince you that the most
violent days in DC happen yesterday and the day before it,
it demonstrates how important it is to get these messages right,
or to have this a narrative be truthful when the
world watches, because what they see, what they believe to
be true, and what is actually true are things that

(58:14):
impact how you behave, whether that's Russia deciding to invade
Ukraine or something different than that. It is interesting to
see these videos go viral of what mostly seems to
be college aged students and potentially some people who have
no real connection to the United States whatsoever. I imagine
altogether doing what they're doing and trying to raise some

(58:38):
sort of protest that also is essentially a support of
a terrorist organization in and of itself. But nonetheless, I
thought it was interesting that Trump would call in that
that's one of the discussion points that they'd have, and
that asking for a stronger punishment for the desecration of
the American flag is something that would actually be somewhat
controversial in our society. That's kind of insane if you

(58:59):
think about it, even if it is something that I
don't think you'd ever see a one year sort of
jail sentence or whatever.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Trump said on that.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Because of the rights we have to protest in our
society and how those protests look. But it's not the
kind of thing that's ever made me proud or happy
or even honestly taken seriously the message of the protesters.
If I see people tear down a flag and burn it,
I no longer take them seriously as protesters who want
to have a discussion or fix something they think is

(59:29):
broken in society or in the world. I see them
as people who hate this country, who hate America, and
those are people you can't usually have valuable conversations with.
All right, Senator Elizabeth Warren popped up on CNN she
said something interesting about the vice president now likely, I guess,
although it's still weird to say it, to be the

(59:49):
Democratic nominee, because a process does need to play out there,
and you need to actually pick Harris, not just anointer
That's not something you're supposed to do in the world
in which we live. But I thought this was interesting
when you're trying to say what has she accomplished, what
has she done while she's been vice president, And for
the most part, a whole lot of media is going
to try to distance herself from the person that she's

(01:00:11):
serving with in the role of president right now.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Which is crazy too.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
The media is gonna be like, well, Kamala wasn't really
in charge of that, or she wasn't really involved in
this or whatever it might be. That's strange. She works
directly under the current president in her role as the
vice president, so you'd think she's very closely tied to
all of the decisions of this administration. Biden often ran
on that platform when he talked about how he and
Albama did certain stuff. So it's weird to see media

(01:00:38):
all of a sudden accept the idea that she'd do nothing.
But Warren wants to make sure you remember she did this.

Speaker 14 (01:00:44):
What do you think has been her biggest accomplishment since
she's been vice president?

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:00:48):
I have to say, since the Doubs opinion, the way
that she has rallied women and friends of women also
called men around.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
This Sorry, I can't help it. Friends of women also
sometimes called men when.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
We don't call them other horrible, terrible things. Let's hear
that from Warren one more time. Friends of women also
called mess.

Speaker 14 (01:01:13):
Ay that she has rallied women and friends of women
also called men around this country on the issue of
abortion and just taking it home. First vice president in
history to visit an abortion clinic.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Don't get them.

Speaker 14 (01:01:32):
You know, she's someone who talks openly about things that
were kind of challenging for some people to talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
I don't know what she says about them, because most
of the times when she talks openly, she talks in
logic circles that make no sense to anyone.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
And don't actually say anything out loud.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
We need to talk about this, we need to think
more about this, we need to plan for the future
while remembering the past, or whatever the crap is she
says all the time. It's all political speech of the
upteenth degree. But here's what I think is even more
interesting about that. Democrats have often run their political candidates
on platforms that have nothing to do with any of

(01:02:12):
the biggest concerns of the American people or any of
the actual policies or individual themselves that would work in
an office. They usually try to specifically find this one issue,
this one thing that someone like a Harris might be
a lightning rod for, and then discuss it. And she's
a lightning rod, I guess, because she's a woman who
at one point went to an abortion clinic. What I

(01:02:32):
think is even more interesting than that is is how
nuanced the actual discussion of the topics themselves are. Harris,
for her own sake, appeared in Indianapolis. The other day,
she spoke in front of a mostly black sorority that
has long been tied to the Democratic Party, and one
of the things she said is that we have to

(01:02:54):
make sure that mothers who give birth are not in
jeopardy of dying during birth, giving, during you know, having
a child. What I think is so interesting about that
and her claim that the United States sees more unnecessary
loss of life from women that are going through labor

(01:03:15):
than anything else than other countries do, other, you know,
richer countries do, is how ridiculous that argument is to
what the actual discussion point is for most Americans. I
don't know anyone, And I know very religious people, I
know people who are very much pro life and very
much pro choice, And I don't know anyone that actually

(01:03:38):
makes an argument to anyone else with a straight face
that says they don't care about the life of the
mom at all.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
I don't think I've ever heard that, in all honesty.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
That someone would be like, well, it's so important that
you're not allowed to have abortion exist in any capacity whatsoever,
that we're just gonna let women die giving birth if
that's a thing that's going to happen that's never a discussion.
Actually even more honest in that if I'm trying to
actually discuss the topic.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
The real way, the way we're supposed to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
If you've ever had a conversation with a loved one
about like what would happen if which is always a
crazy thing, but like what would happen if you were
going through labor and you and the child's life were
both at risk?

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
What would you do?

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
That's a question that I might have been asked by
my wife at one point, and I'd be like, I
have no idea what I'd do, and that's that'd be
horrific for me to have to deal with or to
make a decision based on. I don't even think I'm
the right guy to make a decision. But it's such
a random, such a rare experience, and one where you
know so much of how you actually live your life
would be so tremendously tied to I guess any sort

(01:04:42):
of decision you make in a moment like that, But
not what most people worry about as far as government intervention,
and say having a child that actually can be born
as opposed to a child that can't be born. And
I'm not trying to dive deeper into abortion that I
want to on the show today or any of that.
I just think it's so interesting, and I guess basically

(01:05:03):
what I'm trying to say, if I'm going to try
to oversimplify my very wandering point just now, the belief
that you can make an argument based on an extreme
convince people that the extreme alone is the only reason
to have a policy in place that has almost no
relevance to whether or not would be used in that
extreme circumstance is one of the more disappointing things that

(01:05:26):
exists in general in our society, but also in politics,
because they know the discussion isn't about these versions of
you know, debates, or these versions of moments that barely happen.
They know it's about something more common, something much less emotional,
and they don't care. They want to convince you that
their position is right, no matter what it is. So

(01:05:48):
they'll go ahead and say that they're protecting the lives
of pregnant mothers giving birth in labor in hospitals the
way Kamalas said the other day to a sorority, a
black sorority in Indianapolis. And the reality is that the
policies mostly almost always, I think allow for that. There's
no one and Trump has said himself, if it matters

(01:06:09):
to anyone at all, that he has no interest in
having a federal ban on abortion, and I believe him
when he says that. I think that as a guy
from New York, he has a nuanced opinion that might
be different than the Conservative Party on abortion at times,
and I think that's a thing. So I just can't
get over the idea again that these arguments happen, that
these discussions go the way they do, and then people

(01:06:29):
walk out of rooms and they are like, yeah, I
won I convince people to vote for us or to
believe that we're the ones protecting life or protecting whatever
it is we're protecting. And someone in the back of
some corner, hopefully in that team of people, is saying
to themselves that was the most disingenuous version of a
conversation I've ever seen, and I just feel bad.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
That's where a.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Rhetoric is in general, But that's where it is, all right,
I'll take a break on that a lot coming up.
Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show. We've
got one other thing real quick. By the way, too,

Speaker 4 (01:08:20):
What you've just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
And then they passed us a baton, and the question
is what will we do with the time we carry
the baton?

Speaker 7 (01:08:32):
Was smoking?

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
Or you just dumb? And baal?

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Who doesn't love a yellow school bus? My God, get
h as from their cool buff and go home. I
call myself a joyful warrior The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in chat. We'll be
back tomorrow, thrilled to have you with us. So I
guess there's a new way that some one, a social
media influencer is recommending you deal with telemarketers. If you
take a phone call from anyone that's trying to sell
you something, you just keep repeating the phrase praise the Lord,
no matter what they say, no matter how they say it.

(01:09:13):
You don't necessarily agree to buy anything, but you make
it sound like you're very excited about whatever it is
they're talking about, by continuing to repeat again a praise
the Lord.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
I think I have a little bit of this audio.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
We're gonna make sure, hopefully this is as clean as
I intended it to be.

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
Here we go, Yes, God, praise you, Jesus, Thank you Lord,
Praise you. Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
You just keep saying praise you, Praise the Lord, Praise Jesus,
all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
Praise the Lord. Good, Hello, praise the Lord. Oh, praise them, Okay,
praise the Lord.

Speaker 5 (01:09:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
Eventually they hang up. By the way, that's how the
video ends.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
If you do this the whole time, you just say
praise the Lord, they get confused, and eventually they give
up on trying to sell you whatever they're selling. I
can't imagine what that would be like to be the telemarketer.
I've done inside sales in my life before, not telemarketing
per se, where you call companies, you're pitching them products
and you're trying and if you heard somebody saying on

(01:10:17):
the other end of the phone call praise the Lord
every time you were saying a benefit to this thing
you're trying to cold call sell them party, you would
be like I'm crushing this. I'm doing a great job.
They want to buy whatever it is I'm selling, But
if they didn't stop saying praise the Lord, eventually it
would go the other way, as it does there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
I do find this funny.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
I do find this amusing, and especially in the world
of telemarketing, which all of us hate, getting this is
probably a good way to get you removed from some
people's call lists, although I don't know. Somebody else are
just trying again, and they'll write somewhere in some note
for each company that calls you that you're the Praise
the Lord lady, and that praise the Lord lady is
a fun person to talk to you, because hey, it's

(01:10:56):
a nice sentiment.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
To in fact want to praise the Lord. As well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Other things out there that I saw that I thought
were kind of interesting. The nicest and the meanest states.
According to a recent survey, the friendliest ones are the
ones you expect them to be. A lot of places
in the Midwest, A lot of places in the South Tennessee,
South Carolina, Texas, Wyoming, Indiana, Minnesota some of the nicest

(01:11:19):
places you can be. According to this some of the
quote meanest or rudest places to go, A bunch of
places on the East Coast, New Jersey, New York, Washington,
d C. And not even a state, but on this
list Florida, Rhode Island, Delaware. Here's the thing, I'm from Jersey.
I know there's probably a lot of people who listen
from the East Coast to Chad Show all over the country,

(01:11:41):
and I think you're proud of this. I don't think
anybody on the East Coast who hears this actually gets
mad about it. When you're told you're rude, because did
the person that I was rude to deserve it? Is
usually the first question you ask yourself if you're rude
to somebody in a public space. And I remember the
first time I brought my wife, who's from Mexico, to
New York City and we were getting off the Staten
Island Ferry and somebody behind us asked us if we

(01:12:03):
were walking backwards because we were walking so slow, and
I remember my wife like being upset. She's like, oh
my gosh, they're very mad at us. And I'm like, no,
it's just New York. They're gonna walk around you, they're
gonna be fine. They're gonna forget about you. In five minutes.
They don't care. You don't need to care that. They
just asked you if you're walking back instead of forward,
and by the way, we were walking kind of slow.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
So honestly, a well done, sir. I just love it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
And again, I don't think anyone in any of the
places that would consider themselves to be rude will use
this as a wake up call to be much nicer.
You're not gonna all of a sudden get a way
different response if you go to these places, and that's
not you. If you don't like it, all right, quick break,
A lot coming up. This is the Craig Collins version
of the Chad Benson Show. Chad is back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(01:13:22):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff as always out there
to talk about. Granted, two of the bigger things that
happened yesterday involved both the President of the United States
in a late night address or not late night but primetime,
I guess, suld say, addressed to the American people, officially
stepped down no longer running for the office of president.

(01:13:50):
I think I can tell, as Biden was speaking, that
he really doesn't want to do this, and I think
you probably can guess that too, mostly because he said
a whole bunch of times leading up to this that
he definitely wanted to run for this office. Again, that
he was the candidate, he was the nominee, he won
the primary, even though they didn't allow any actual people

(01:14:10):
to run against him. But nonetheless he is the Democratic
nominee for president if he so wants to be when
the convention happens in a few weeks, And in this moment,
you can hear the most of that, you know, thought
still existing in Biden's broken brain, that he very much
would like to get a second term.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
When you would like to meet to this office. I
promised to always level with you, and he failed their
to tell you the truth.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
You failed about that too, The truth.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
What's the cause of this country is larger than any
one of us, and those of us who are cherry.
That cause cherishes so much, a cause of American democracy itself.
Wish you're knight to protect it. You know, in recent
weeks has become clear to me unite my party in

(01:15:02):
this critical endeavor. I believe I reckon as president, my
leadership in the world I visioned for America's future. All
merrit it a second term, but nothing, nothing can come
in the way of saving our democracy that includes personal.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
Ambition, saving our democracy from what honestly from look, I'm
not a tinfoil hat conspiracy.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Guy by trade.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
It's not something I choose to be on a daily basis,
both on the radio or in my own life, in
my own everyday actual off the radio, human existence. But
I can't help thinking that when he's saying that democracy
itself is at stake, because obviously the boogeyman that is
Trump get gets back into the White House. All the
polling says that Biden is losing and that Trump is winning.

(01:15:52):
The fear that the establishment itself has at the idea
of Trump getting a second term after almost being killed
and then also trying to have him thrown in jail
for a few different things, some of which have now
been dismissed. And will continue to see how all that
stuff goes as far as the courtroom things, because none
of it's going to play out until after November anyway.

(01:16:13):
But the fear seems so real that Trump will turn
his attention on destroying Washington.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
And I don't know if.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
All the Americans out there that would hear that sentiment
would care that much about that. Yes, you want a
functioning government. Yes I'm not saying, you know, I want
anarchy in the streets.

Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
But if all of.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
The terrible, horrible things that exist in DC that have
been somewhat acknowledged over the past few years, even the
idea of pushing a Biden out, making him incapable of
running when he evidently wants to run and try to
be present again, is stuff that I'd actually.

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
Like to see more of. I'd like to hear more
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
And if someone got into the White House who thinks
they have a personal vendetta against the elite in DC
so they out more of that than anyone else would
out getting into the role.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
I'm kind of for that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
But more important than any of it, what Biden is
truly saying is not just that he's not going to win,
that he's incapable of winning because of what the pull
numbers say, but he's acknowledging the reason why most voters
don't want to vote for him. Most donors don't want
to give any more money to his campaign because they
don't think he's mentally capable of being the president after

(01:17:25):
his debate was so bad, something that a whole lot
of people thought years ago, and certainly not new information
to everyone out there. But nonetheless, when you say that,
when you think that, how could you embrace the idea
that you're not mentally capable of something, not say it
to the American people last night, but then continuing the

(01:17:46):
role as president right now. And some of the biggest
challenges to the democratic system involved whether or not Biden
could just hand millions of dollars to the Kamala Harris
campaign as she's now trying to be the anointed air
pay to run for office, although you do actually have
to go through a process that she hasn't gone through
yet that we'll see if anyone actually tries to legitimately

(01:18:07):
challenge her. In that world, it's crazy to think that
she might not be picking a vice president candidate until
September with the election in November, but that might actually
be the case. But anyway, if you're acknowledging the reason
why you're being begged to step down or told to
step down, by your own party. Then you're acknowledging something
that is broken inside you that you need to address

(01:18:30):
and need to tell us why that's something that you
don't need to step away.

Speaker 3 (01:18:35):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
It's crazy to think that Biden is both not resigning
from the office of president and preventing his campaign from
stepping from moving forward when there's only a few months
left until.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
The election itself. It's just surreal.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
But beyond that, Biden said all this stuff that you
might have expected him to say about passing the torch,
about a previous generator or the next generation having a shot,
all those things, and again, I just can't get over
how ridiculous it is and how powerful the party is.
And actually, that's something else that was said a few times.
I think CNN is one of the places that had
at least one Republican guest saying that that when you

(01:19:12):
look at the Democratic Party itself right now and watch
the way they were capable of bullying someone in the
office of president to be removed from the office of president,
then you know just how powerful the elite system is
that's behind any of the stuff that you're actually paying
attention to. All Right, something else I want to play.
I can't get over this. This was an interview that happened,

(01:19:33):
I think, yesterday on CNN. This was a discussion about
DEI Higher and if that shot at Kamala Harris is
unfair or horrible or you know, sexist or racist or something,
I'm not even sure what thing you'd claim it to be.
The reason why I think it's amusing is because Biden
actually literally said out loud that he wanted to find

(01:19:55):
a female and he wanted to find a minority candidate
to be his vice president when he was running for
that office in twenty twenty, before he picked Kamalaharas. He
literally said out loud he wanted to hire someone for
DEI reasons, diversity equity inclusion reasons, and not hire someone
that he thought was only the best candidate for the job,
regardless of if it would have been the same person.

(01:20:17):
I just don't know why the Democrats and the politicians
need to say this out loud so much other than
they want a political win for the things they're doing.
But here's what someone a guest on CNN compared DEI
Hire to and it's insane.

Speaker 15 (01:20:32):
Here we go, this is a right wing campaign that's
going to be racist misogynistic against the vice president. They
want to call her a DEI president DEI candidate. She
has more experience than Trump and JD. Van's combined times
a million. Right, So these are just racist dog whistles.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
Whenever you hear.

Speaker 15 (01:20:48):
DEI, I want you to think about the N word.
I wanted to think about racial slurs. That's what they
actually mean.

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
No, it's not at all what they mean. It's not
even a little bit what they mean. Here's Biden talking
about some of the To me, the values.

Speaker 16 (01:21:01):
Of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally, and that's not kidding,
the core strengths of America. That's why I'm proud to
have the most diverse administration history. It taps into the
full talents of our country and starts at the top
of the Vice president.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Yes, I picked people based on things other than what
I thought was just a skill set to do the job.
And again I'm not saying that you wind up picking
different people. I just don't know why you say it
out loud, other than getting political points, because that's the
part that makes people wonder, huh, is that the reason
that somebody got the job, or do they get it for.

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
Some other reason.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
But nonetheless I love the fact that the guests would
say that you have to think of the N word.
You have to accuse someone else who you hear say
something of being a racist, being a sexist, being whatever,
because you don't want to have a substantive conversation about
the actual idea that someone might have got a position
because of the political value that Biden, as a white

(01:21:58):
man in his seventies, saw picking someone that was many
years younger than him, a female, and someone that I
think in twenty sixteen said she was the first Indian
born or the first Indian individual to be in the
role of vice president, and then in twenty twenty she
was the first black woman to be put in the

(01:22:19):
role of vice president or anything like that, I think
twenty sixteen to run for the office of president. Of course,
I think they explained about her, and I think Trump
even tweeted that recently or put that out on truth
Social But it's just so funny because if you put
at the forefront of your discussion something about who you are,
your identity, whether it be your race, your sex, whatever

(01:22:39):
it might be, then having someone respond to you by
also putting at the forefront of their conversation, your race,
your sex, whatever it might be, and how relevant or
not relevant it is to whatever you're talking about. It
feels like a conversation you're asking for. It feels like
a conversation you're demanding that we have almost in our society,

(01:23:00):
and one where the path seems like it's all useless.
The best way, in my opinion, to find a place
where people don't take shots at each other based on
anything other than substance is to pretend as though because
it can't actually happen, sadly, but to pretend is those
substance is the only thing that matters. So we don't
highlight all the stuff that isn't substance. We only highlight

(01:23:22):
the stuff that is, which is that this individual feels
for these reasons and you know, their experience, whatever it
is they've done in their professional life, that they're the
right candidate for whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
The job might be.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
And it just winds up being unimportant that that person
is a man, a woman, black, white, whatever the other
things might be. That becomes a non issue. One last
thing I just want to mention this. I don't know why,
but Jennifer Aniston has been trending on social media. Okay,
I know why for the last two days. Two days ago,

(01:23:55):
one of the reasons she was trending on social media
was tied to underwear that was being sold certain places
that I think somehow had some sort of endorsement from
Jennifer Aniston.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
Which kind of makes sense. The Internet is a bunch of.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
Well people that have certain versions of interests that wind
up all together at the same time in the Internet,
and so Jennifer Aniston plus underwear might wind up going viral.

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
That's all I'm going to say about that. I won't
go further.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
But now she's also attacked jd Vance for him saying
that Kamala Harris is a cat lady, a woman that
doesn't have any children, and how sexist and horrible that is.
Because Jennifer Aniston also doesn't have any kids. And so
I just want to say one thing in response to this.
I haven't given my opinion yet. Anyone who's already mad
at me for discussing this. By the way, I've put

(01:24:44):
no opinion out here yet. I've just set up the topic.
My wife and I don't have any kids. We tried
to have children. It sounds like Jennifer Aniston did too,
and for whatever reason, it didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
And we're people of faith.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
I'm Catholic, so we believe that God made whatever decision
God made. And my wife and I don't have kids,
even though we wanted them and we tried and we
haven't stopped.

Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
By the way, I mean, that seems like an inappropriate topic.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
Cody further on, but nonetheless, as I say all that,
what I think is really profoundly interesting, and again this
ties to the topic I was just discussing a second ago.
Is the idea that someone who has children might have
different policy feelings or thoughts than someone who doesn't.

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
That has value in some kind of discussion. It doesn't
have to.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
Be categorized as cat lady or whatever you want to
call it, but saying that being a parent might be
transformative to you as a person, your value system, your
thought process. I think anyone who's a parent probably agrees
with that. I only say probably, because again I'm not one,
and so it's just amazing to me that there is
a substance available and it's ignored yet again for this

(01:25:49):
version of trying to make sure we find a way
to call somebody a sexist or whatever. Else and not
just have the real discussion. Is it a negative that
Kamala Harris will have a lot of potential, you know,
opportunities if she were actually elected into the role of
the office of President to shape certain policies that'll be
around parents and families.

Speaker 3 (01:26:10):
If she doesn't have kids. Is that allowed?

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
If she doesn't have kids, I'll finish the sentence. Is
that something you're allowed to say, something allowed to discuss
without it seeming as though it's racist or sexist or
horrible And the answer should be yes. You should be
able to ask that question and have people give different
answers to that question as to what they think the
right and wrong. Is similar to when Kamala Harris said
that she was not going to go to the border

(01:26:33):
even though everybody was telling her she should go to
the border, and Biden made her the border czar, and
I'll play audio that proves that in a second two.
But I just find that so funny that she goes, well,
I've never been to Europe. So if I've never been
to the border and never been to Europe, why does
that matter? Well, that sounds like someone who thinks that
personal experience doesn't impact your ability to have, you know,
nuanced thoughts about some things, and that sounds like it's

(01:26:57):
very tied to this other stuff that's being talked about
in this other way that also has called cause Jennifer
Andison to go viral for a second day. And not
about underwear. All right, that's all real stuff. You can
look it up if you want to. A quick break

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins.
Filling in.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
A guy flew a plane without a pilot's license, also
without any sort of registration on his plane.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
This happened in Alaska.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
I think back in twenty twenty three, I would have
just making the news. Now is the guy's in court
defending himself. His name is William He's fifty six. His
reason that he thought that he could fly an aircraft
without a pilot's license which expired in twenty nineteen, without
registration for his vehicle or for his aircraft which expired
in twenty twenty two. He said, it's free America, baby,
He's a free citizen and this is a free country

(01:29:53):
and you should be allowed to do whatever. He also
almost caused a accident in the sky when he was
flying the wrong way against other landing traffic at an
airport that he didn't ask for permission to take off
from That feels like the issue. Man, if you want
to be off the radar and flying around in a
vehicle that you're not exactly legally supposed to be flying in.
One of the other issues might be the fact that

(01:30:15):
you're not talking to anybody and you're taking off on
the runway that they're landing at.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
That feels like a problem. But I love the argument,
and good luck to William.

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
I'm trying to make it that he's a free citizen,
darn it, so nobody can tell him what to do
him or his plane.

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):

a bit.

WIBC in Indianapolis. He's got a couple of different nationally

promptly heard before. If you listen to things that Radio
America puts out like the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
Tony is Live in d C.

Speaker 5 (01:31:36):
How you doing, Buddy, I'm doing quite all right, man.
It's good to be with you. Chad never invites me,
so this is lovelyss.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
I don't want to get in any trouble. I'm sure
that that. I'm sure there's an invite coming sometime soon.

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
All right, So you definitely on the band's list. But
good to talk to you.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
Yeah, you are in DC for specific reason, Benjamin Nette. YEAHO,
of course spoke yesterday. You've had some tremendous coverage of
everything going on in the Middle East with Israel. You
went there for a bit, you talked to the Israeli people,
You saw firsthand some of the horrific things that happened
or the after effects of some of the things that

(01:32:16):
happened in the attack back in October. What is your reaction, first,
just personally what you heard yesterday from net Yahoo.

Speaker 5 (01:32:25):
So this was a war speech. It was well delivered.
I was there in the gallery. It was a war
speech and nobody should should think anything else. And as
a matter of fact, as you take a look at
reaction from Democrats and Republicans. They want to celebrate some Republicans,
I should say, if they want to celebrate the warm

(01:32:45):
relationship between the United States and Israel. And net Yahoo
is very clear to remind people of that we are
linked together. Our bond cannot be broken. And he was
also extremely thankful to America for the support that Israel
has gotten. It. It's in great contrast to the way
Vladimirzelenski of Ukraine approaches things, which is give me more.

(01:33:06):
The point from Netanyah who says, if you help us
get more arms, weapons, etc. We can finish the shop
faster and then we'll all be safer. So he really
does a very good job of tying the United States
and America together. But if you leave that speech with
anything else, it is that Israel is going to finish Hamas,
then they're going to finish Hesbla and Iran is the problem.

(01:33:29):
They leave it all on the table. Now who leaves
it all on the table. And remember he's not popular
in Israel. You think he's not popular in the United States,
he is not popular in Israel. But the war ending
the terrorist threat is popular in Israel. These are two
very different things. And Netanyaho made that very clear.

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
Yeah, No, I wanted to go ahead and get clarity
on that because I think I've heard you say that before,
that the Israeli people certainly support the objective of removing
Hamas from this planet. And if someone were to replace
Benjamin Netanyahu or when he is going to lose an
election at some point in the future, to not have
that same plan, the plan of being at war with

(01:34:08):
a terrorist group, would not make you more popular than
net Yahoo in Israel. That's something that the American politicians
leave out of any discussion they have about his popularity.
It's because of his failure to protect the Israeli people
in October, not because of what he's doing now necessarily.

Speaker 5 (01:34:24):
So you can add what happened on October seventh. Remember,
he is a guy who has always talked about security,
and this happened. But he was also unpopular in Israel
because of the judicial reforms, which I think were actually
quite necessary, and it's a worthy argument. You got to
understand that Israel is not like the United States. You're
talking about the place without a confariation. It's a very unique,
interesting country and how they work their politics. I don't

(01:34:47):
like the way they did COVID lockdowns, for example, by
any stretch. So there were a lot of things. Internally.
You also have Netnyah who has a series of indictments
against him, and so this has led to a level
of unpopularity because he keeps coming back into the political scene.
That is far different from whether it was metannyaho Is
Prime Minister or Benny Gantz the former minister without profile

(01:35:08):
that's the actual terminology, or you have Glant the Defense Minister.
If any of them were in charge, this would still happen.
So this isn't met Yahouh per se, this is what
Israel wants and that difference, as you're discussing it, Craig,
extremely profound and very important.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
Yeah. Now absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Let me ask you about the protesting, because that's the
other big conversation that comes out of DC. If you
look at certain videos, say on social media on x
you could convince yourself that there was a lot of violence,
that there were capitol police who were attacked. I'm sure
that you could also find videos that convince you of
something very different. You were there, you got to experience
firsthand a lot of what's going on. What is your
reaction to the level of protesting the dangerousness of it,

(01:35:53):
any of that.

Speaker 5 (01:35:55):
So let's start with a bit of a timeline. During
the day before the speech, the protesting was simplistic, it
was dull, it was boring. It's exactly what you would
expect from their rallies, which really were Communism rallies and
Marxism rallies and had very little to do with anything
regarding substance and policy regarding Israel or the Middle East.

(01:36:17):
They don't actually know what it is they're protesting. They
see the world as a pressed versus the presser, and
they have decided that Israel is the oppressor, even though
Israel is the one that's been oppressed since nineteen forty eight.
So those protests were dull standard. It was after the
speech over at Union Square, which I'm not too far
away from right now, where the vandalism took place, the

(01:36:40):
attacks on police officers took place. Vandalism that includes if
you follow me on X at Tony Katz t o
n Lan Katz, you'll see some of the things that
were written, you know, it's death to Israel, Israel kills children, terrific, awful,
disgusting things. And then some graffiti that says, change your
policy or this could happen near you. The threat is

(01:37:05):
real what we're dealing with here. I mean people who
were in full Hamas legalia. You'll see a lot of
people online saying Hamas is here. A Marxist start here.
And whether they take up the mantle of Hamas or
they take up the mantle of something else, whatever it
is that allows them to destroy and denigrate, that's exactly
what they're going to do. America must accept the fact,
no matter what corner of America that you are in,

(01:37:27):
this problem is here and it is us or it
is them, and you actually have to pick because if
you don't, you're going to get run over.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
Yeah, it's scary.

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
I saw some of the other graffiti you're talking about,
including like we love Hamas I think was written on
a specific statue. Rashida Talib made the news herself for
holding up what seemed to be a very cheap sign.
I have to be honest, if you're going to be
as much of a crap person as she seems to
be during that speech and hold up the you know,
genocide sign or whatever it is was on that and

(01:37:56):
I know you saw it. I feel like you splurge
a little bit more on the size of the sign,
so it's not a little thing that you flip back
and forth and has two different messages on it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
That's a stupid take for me.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
But tell me a little bit more about Rashida Talib
and net Nyahu and any interactions you might have witnessed.

Speaker 5 (01:38:12):
Well, the signage itself is not allowed, and there were
people coming up to or I was in the room.
I was behind a Rashida to leave up in the gallery,
so I could see every time someone came over her.
And today can't do that. You're not allowed to do that.
One side of the sign said guilty of genocide. On
the other side said war criminal. And it was very
clear that Netanya, who saw her and saw the sign,

(01:38:34):
part of the speech that was so I mean, I
was floored by it. Is when he started addressing the
protesters and how dare you you are? Aram's useful idiots
who in the world could possibly be gaze for Palestine?
Saying gaze for Palestine is the same thing as saying
chickens for KFC, which was an unbelievable line the full

(01:38:55):
understanding of American culture. It was delivered very very well,
it was actually quite strong, almost almost to an extent profound,
that these people are advocating for their own destruction, which
goes back to the point of they don't know what
they're actually protesting. They hear oppressor, they hear oppressed their
Marxists through programming as we've seen from universities, and they

(01:39:18):
just go out there and they want to yell, scream
and burn it all down. But with to leave. There
were moments and it was clear that Netnahu saw it.
Net now who was looking to his left, that's where
the Republicans were to him, But every now and then
he looked over to his right, and you knew he
was looking at her, and you knew she was looking
at him. She was the only member of the squad
who was there, and they didn't show up. Nancy Pelosi

(01:39:40):
very despicably didn't show up and then try to castigate
net Yahu and and detegrate the speech. The speech was
outrageously strong, outrageously thoughtful, and well received by the gallery
and the vast majority of members who were sitting.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
Sure, yeah, he got several standing of I saw just
one last quick thing, and I think this is sort
of surreal that Benjamin Netyaho would travel here to this
country with what's going on in the Middle East, have
a few conversations, whether it's with Biden and Trump, and
potentially I think there was going to be a conversation
with Harris, although that was going to happen behind closed
doors because Harris wants distance from him. But what I

(01:40:20):
find so interesting is the least valuable conversation to net
Yahoo and probably to Israel Is with the current president
of the United States. His obvious lack of ability to
be in control is as apparent as it could possibly
be at a time when a world leader and an
important ally is traveling here to have an important discussion.
Is it odd to you that that seems so true

(01:40:42):
to me and so many people that he almost would
want to skip his Biden chat to chat with Trump
and maybe get a conversation with Harris if she's willing
to sit down with him.

Speaker 5 (01:40:52):
Harris, to her credit, I saw it online and someone
could double check me condemning what's a place, Yes, Union Square,
Harris does not want to have the open air conversation
with that Yahoo. She absolutely wants to close doors because
she knows that her base, all those college kids which
are all Democrats, all of them. They are radicalized and

(01:41:16):
they may not vote for her. You've already had people,
you know, well some of the signers. Some of the
graffiti was about blank Joe Biden, right, so you understand
that they don't think Joe Biden is strong enough on
this subject. I think you're right that the meeting Biden
is kind of unnecessary if you will, but I think
if you're Natanya, who you meet with everybody you can.

(01:41:37):
Part of this remember is about telling us about his seriousness.
But all politics are local. This is about showing Israel
that stee he still has command of the stage, command
of the world stage. Everybody wants to meet with him.
He talked to everybody, and in that speech he thanked
Joe Biden by name, very profusely twice. It was very

(01:41:58):
very direct, and he wanted people to know that regardless
of party, Israel wants to be America's friend, and America
the facto is Israel friends.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
Yeah, and I will say this, I'll just echo something
you said at the beginning of the discussion as we
kind of wrap up. It is interesting that when you
hear Zelenski speak, you almost feel as though the giant
check should be brought out at the end of the speech,
because that's what he's there asking for. And in the
world of net Yahoo, it was a powerful person saying
we're fighting this fight without your support, but we want

(01:42:31):
your support, and we need your support to make it
a quick fight, a better fight.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
Go ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:42:35):
I'll give you the quick difference because he does get
American support. Zolenski says, help me, Netnahu says help me,
help me, and you, And so there's the real difference
in how that occurs. He was very clear that, you know,
the more Israel goes after around's nuclear program, the more
American lives are saved. He was clear to talk about that,

(01:42:58):
and I think that does make a difference for a
lot of everyday Americans out there.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
Thank you very much, Tony Katz, As I said, you
can be found a whole lot of places. You're on
WIBC in Indianapolis every morning and every midday. You got
Tony Katz Today, which is a nationally syndicated show, and
then also Eat, Drink Smoke. By the way, I'm actually
going to be touring a bourbon facility in Louisville this weekend.
I'm not sure if you would give me any tips
on what I should be finding when I'm there for

(01:43:24):
twenty four hours, but I'm very excited to go.

Speaker 5 (01:43:28):
I think you should not call it Louisville and call
it Louisville like they do, otherwise they'll run you out
of town.

Speaker 2 (01:43:34):
That's a good first tip. As I get wrong, maybe
I'll make sure to remember that. Thank you, Tony Katz

on the Chad Benson Show. No, by the way, Chad
is one of the hardest working guys in radio, so
even when he's not doing stuff, he is here.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
He is with a message about Raycon.

Speaker 11 (01:44:51):
Chad serving up talk radio medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Not a lot of time left to discuss this,
but I am just going to throw it out there
because I know it's trending today. The FBI says it's
not fully convinced that Trump was hit by a bullet.

Speaker 3 (01:45:21):
He might have been hit by shrapnel.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
According to FBI Director Christopher Ray, A weird thing for
them to still be debating and discussing and not know better.
Also weird how close of a shot would be assassin
got to trying to kill the former president. So it
feels like a lot of questions that deserve to be answered,
a lot of discussion points that you can't take as

(01:45:43):
long as they're taking to give us information on. And
then a director of the Secret Service who thankfully stepped
down after one of the worst testimonies I ever saw
in the history of my life, as far as an
unwillingness to be at least transparent about some stuff. The
lack of trans there was one of the scarier things
I've seen ever, and not because we don't see that

(01:46:06):
lack of transparency so often, but because of the catastrophic
failure that was protecting or attempting to protect the former
president during that rally, and how little they were giving us.
But darn it, this is the end of the show.
We can't talk about serious stuff. We got to talk
about silly's stuff to get out of here. I thought
this was really interesting. Somebody came up with a best

(01:46:26):
Songs of the nineties list, and at the top of
the list, and I think it was es Dot com
Esquire magazine, who'll put this together? So certainly your doubt
is totally fine with me. But at the top of
the list smells like teen spirit Nirvana. I'm not going
to object to the potential for that being a top
end nineties song. A Fantasy by Mariah Carey landed at

(01:46:47):
number two. Anohing but a g Thing Doctor Drey and
Snoop Dogg was number three around the World. Daft Punk
landed at number five. Missy Elliott, the Beastie Boys, a
bunch of people on this list. The only thing that
it really.

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
Screamed to me. And I'm a child of the nineties,
I'm a millennial.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
I was a teenager or younger than that for most
of the nineties, so I was listening to a lot
of this music. But what it struck me as, even
though I'm someone who has certain nostalgia, certain love of
whatever the music is growing up, this list stinks compared
to the list of other generations, older generations as far.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
As best music.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
If the best music in the nineties, No Scrubs by
TLC makes thirteen, We're not doing a good job crafting
a whole bunch of music. Compared to the other generations
before us. I don't even want to go into some
of the songs that are listed at Best of the
Eighties or Best of the seventies because they're all time
classics comparatively and definitely not this. And again, I'm someone

(01:47:46):
who was raised on this, someone who likes a lot
of the music on this list.

Speaker 3 (01:47:49):
Just not enough for it to feel like it was
that important.

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
But hopefully people build better nineties best song lists to
make me feel a little bit happier. One other quick thing,
just for me, by the way, is why somebody needs
to build a better list. Inside Out Too is now
officially the highest grossing animated movie of all time. That
is beat out Frozen two in the super Mario Brothers
movie that came in at number three at one point
four six two billion dollars at the box office.

Speaker 3 (01:48:16):
It's an okay movie.

Speaker 2 (01:48:18):
There might be some moments that feel a little overly
woke in it, but the general message of Inside Out
Too does seem to be a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
I will say one last thing.

Speaker 2 (01:48:26):
Though, it seems like there's so few kid friendly movies
today that aren't overly ideological or something else, or even
just don't exist in general that I'm not surprised that
this list of highest grossing movies is all very recent
releases for highest grossing animated film of all time, and
many of them are focused directly on kids. Because again,

(01:48:48):
you don't have a whole lot of options. It feels
like there's very little to choose from. So what are
you going to do? You gotta go to what you
gotta go to, and inside out to.

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
I've seen it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
I think it's a decent film. I would wreck commend it.
I'm probably still out in theaters, probably not a kids movie,
but also going to be awesome and out in theaters
starting today is the Deadpool movie. Deadpool and the Wolverine
officially available to watch tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:49:12):
I'm excited. I'm hoping to see a bunch of them.

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
We'll probably go more than once because it better be
freaking awesome. I think they've promised that, right, I'm out
of here. Chad's back tomorrow. Craig Collins on Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:49:30):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
