Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chad Benson Show, Dewey or don't.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
We have a Pope?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Not right now?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Will we get there?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yes? I think it's going to be quick.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
I wouldn't be surprised within the next thirty six hours
if we don't have a pope. I know a lot
of people out there. I think it's gonna take a
while to get that their pope. But I think it's
going to come quicker than people think.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
We all know pop. It ain't easy, but it is theatrical.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
This is a piece of theater.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
The actors are silent, but everyone wants to be involved
in the drama. And I can tell you down here
on the Square, we don't know what's going on inside.
But so many people are so excited when that's smoke.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
And they get super excited. And I was trying to think, Okay,
is it the Square yesterday? I don't know what I said.
People freak out.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's this weird world of like, oh, you speak fifteen
hours a day.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
You said something wrong, so let me destroy you for it.
But because I also don't know where they're allowing people
to congregate and apparently saying Peter Square, if they're allowing
them again, I don't know. I'm not Catholic. I followed
this before, but I'm not familiar with all of.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
The the intricacies of this, and there is plenty of
intricacies in how this thing is done.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
Every morning, the cardinals elect groups of that PiZZ to
manage the vote. Three scrutinies check the ballot before three revises,
double check it, and then attach it to a piece
of thread. Off to the rounds of voting, and the
results are read out. The ballot's a.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Bund burn burn baby burn. This going burn out, burn
baby burn.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
It's not the way they do it yet.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
I know they had to bring out the bell as
well because of what took place last time. They want
to make sure they get it right where they don't
want the gray or the beige or whatever it was. Remember,
so you have the white smoke, the black smoke, and
then there was this gray which was kind of ni
People were confused, is yeah, no maybe.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
In the vote, each of them writes a name on
a rectangular ballot printed with the Latin words I elect
as Supreme Pontiff. They're even careful to change their handwriting
so as not to be identified. Then they walk their
folded ballot one at a time to the altar, where
they kneel for a short prayer and submit their vote
to be counted.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I feel like changing the handwriting is it's kind of
an odd thing, right, I mean, these guys are all
in their seventies, some in their sixties. I don't know
how good their handwriting is. They make them all use
their left hand if they're right handed, and the right
handed if they're left handed.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Now here's the question.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
So you got to get a certain amount of votes
to be the next pontiff.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
What is said number.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Eighty nine votes?

Speaker 6 (03:09):
That is the minimum number needed for a candidate to
win the papacy. That can insider say, the first vote
of a conclave is similar to what happens in a
primary election. It establishes the leading candidates and filters out
the also rans.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
I was thinking about it yesterday. There has got to
be popes that well, there's got to be people that
their goal, I'm assuming is to hopefully when day become
the pope. Right, So there has to be if some

(03:47):
that have that have that have wanted that, and there's.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Also half to have been several people who didn't really
want it.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
They didn't want the weight of what that brings with it,
you know, heavy, what is it heavy as the head
that wears the crown kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, I think there's absolutely some of them.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
There has to be. There has to be, because you
are now leading a billion two billion, three. I don't
know how many Catholics are currently.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
In the world. We should find that.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
If only there was a machine, if only there was
something out there that could help us with that, if
only I had a crack team of people doing stuff
that could help me.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Wood said things. See where I'm going with this, if
only there was that, Let's see how many Catholics are
in the world.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
All right, So as.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Of the latest head count, if you will, I don't
think this is approximately, but we're going to go around
there and this is one point four zero six billion,
which is at about a one.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
And a half percent increase from the previous year.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
So two thousand and twenty three it went up one
point one two or something one point one five. I
mean that's when you think about vote, because there's nothing
else on the planet where a person when it comes
to you know, like g Yes or MODI, there's a

(05:48):
billion people plus there's a billion six Yeah, you run
the country. But the difference is that's your country, where
this right here is a global thing. So Africa has
two hundred and seventy two to two hundred and eighty
million Catholics, The Americas have about half of the world's Catholics.

(06:15):
Asia has eleven percent, Europe has twenty percent, and about
one percent in Oceania.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
So those small little islands out there.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
So that's one person and you to think about that
for a second, that has that kind of reach globally. Yeah,
what Trump does and what she does, and potentially Mody
we'll get to him in a second.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
What those two guys do.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, that's global, but not in the same kind of
way because obviously, well it used to be faith was
far more important than politics. Although a lot of people
around well at least around America, they've swapped that out.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
So this will be interesting. Let's see what happens.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
We shall see indeed, speaking of Modi, oh jeez, yeah,
speaking of the Modi, that's the guy who runs India.
If you guys don't know this, there's calls to calm
things down at the same time, I don't think that's
happening right away.

Speaker 7 (07:24):
How concerned are you at this point, I mean, is
it further conflict on the horizon.

Speaker 8 (07:28):
Are you concerned about a direct conflict a war at
this point?

Speaker 9 (07:32):
Yeah, there is a possibility of this conflict, expansion of
this conflict. We are prepared for it all out war off.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
This is absolutely no doubt because.

Speaker 9 (07:44):
India is, you know, increasing the intensity, increasing the mistakes.
So we shouldn't be prepaid for in all out of
the war.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Prepared for an all out war. Who's ready for that?
Nobody's ready for that. I want to remind everybody again,
India has one hundred and seventy two.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Nuclear warheads. Now that could change.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
We might not be getting the real count, but that's
about what they have. Pakistan has about the same, give
or take. India's nuclear doctrine essentially says, if you strike

(08:25):
us with nuclear weapons, we will strike back. Pakistan's doctrine
is if you attack us, even using conventional weapons, we
essentially reserve the right to use nuclear weapons on you.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
And remember, so if you look at the Pakistan in India,
Pakistan doesn't have the manpower and the military and the
money for a conventional war with India. They just don't.
So that's the fear. As they would use it.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Now they're going to get help, probably from the likes
of And this is where the weird thing about, you know,
strange bedfellows when it comes to you know, some of
our allies are going to be, if you will, in
the other side of things. We're going to back Modi
and India and Turkey, probably Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
And of course we know China. They'll all be with Pakistan.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
So this is it's an odd situation here, but they
just don't have the manpower if there was to be
a conventional war.

Speaker 10 (09:46):
India is saying it was a measured strike, which it
says is a response to Pakistan's alleged support for militant
groups and that very deadly terror attack against tourists in
the Indian part the region of Kashmir. Pakistan though vehemently
denies any involvement in that terror attack and says there's

(10:06):
no proof of that.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Well, the issue with India as you've allowed, much like
Afghanistan did many many groups of terror organizations to essentially live,
work and do their thing as kind of a more
modernized home base than Afghanistan.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
And you're very close with a lot of them, and
everybody knows.

Speaker 10 (10:33):
That skirmish's tit for tat exchanges on the demarcation line
between Indian controlled Kashmir and Pakistani control Kashmir is pretty common.
But what we've seen from India, these missile strikes not
only into Pakistani administered Kashmir but also into Pakistan proper,
are much much different to that and a much much

(10:53):
higher level of escalation.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
We shall see what happens. Hopefully, cooler commer heads veil
I say, hopefully, Do I know that to be true?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I do not.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
That's why we must pay attention for all the other
things going on. This right here globally is the biggest story,
and the impact should it go sideways is massive. Three two, three, five,

Speaker 2 (12:55):
It really helps out the show. This is the Chad
Benson Show. Chad Benson Spring.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Is in the air, So you know what that means.
It's protest time again.

Speaker 11 (13:18):
Chaos at Columbia University crowds of masked pro Palestinian protesters
storming the library, beating drums and chanting. Two public safety
officers were injured in the crowd surge.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
What it's protest, Well, it's nice outside.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Remember, if you're going to do something when it comes
to protesting, you've got to make the style match with
the season. And now it's stylish again when it comes
to Palestine in protest.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
The NYPD taking some seventy people into custody. Columbia says
most in the crowd were not affiliated with a school,
saying Columbia strongly condemns anti Semitism and all forms of
hate and discrimination, some of which we witness today.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
As you and everybody else should.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
So what ended up happening is they go into the
library and the custodians say we've had enough of this,
so they shut the door and lock it.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Now you got to show your ID apparently to get out.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
But this is insane, right, I mean, and and the
thing it's it's a movement, and it's a weird time
in our world where You've got this battle now going
on amongst the magafolk over Israel and the Jews, and

(14:44):
we've seen a lot of that.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
And it's it's it's just it's so weird.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
I mean, it's like we're living in an alternate universe
when it comes to a lot of this stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And they don't feel safe, the Jewish students, right, they
don't feel safe on campus. And that's important because take
away the politics and the can I get a lot
of likes and shares, there are other things that play here,
like people's lives.

Speaker 7 (15:13):
And it is clear that Jewish students are still unsafe
on their campus. Now is the time we finally hold
our institutions accountable.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
We'll see if that happens. One thing for sure, Marco Rubio,
who has a lot of jobs, he is going to
look at all of these people. Are you here? Are
you on a visa? Is it time for you to leave?

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Bensis Show, that is your axe.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Let me know what you think about that Colombia, all
of that stuff going on right here on the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 12 (15:51):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says his office will review
the visa status of each person involved in the violence
at Columbia, saying, quote, pro Hamas thug are no longer
welcome here.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Well, I don't think pro Hamas thugs should be welcomed here. Now.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
If you're peaceful and you're protesting, I don't have a
problem with that, and you're not pro Hamas. I mean,
I'm a problem with that some people do. It is funny, though,
because you have this new woke right, we're going to
talk a little bit about that. And I've run into
it over the last several weeks where you have people

(16:28):
that are oddly enough pro israel Ish but also think
the Jews run the world. It's just this weird dynamic
of I don't even know what it is at this

(16:49):
point in time. I don't and this this tribal bs
is crazy. And again I run into it on a
daily basis, and I pissed both sides off, which is good, but.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Both sides.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Are kind of the extremes are morphing into one, which
is scary. And their anger is you know, just tell
my wife. He answered, I don't care that people are
mad at me, and that's fine. It's the disdain that
people have for each other at this point in time.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
That is kind of disturbing. That makes sense. You're miss
any of this show.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
We always say, shame.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
On you grab the podcast. A lot of stuff to
get to Netflix, changing things. What's that all about? It
is the Chat Benson.

Speaker 13 (17:38):
Show, The Chat Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Uksad. We got a deal We've to UK when it
comes to trade. That's a good thing. It's comprehensive. One
is what I say. Congratulations day and mate, cheerio. I'm
sure we'll find out more about that deal later. Fantastic.

Speaker 14 (18:18):
Meanwhile, China, there are signs of potential progress. Beijing is
now showing a willingness to at least talk. Chinese and
US officials set to meet this weekend in Switzerland, but
the President is already shutting down China's central demand to negotiate.
As China says, in order to have substantive negotiations, you
have to bring down your one hundred and forty five
percent tariffs. Are you open to pulling back your tariffs

(18:39):
in order to get China to the negotiating table.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, solid no, not going to do it now.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
There are starting to be cracks inside of the armor
of the Chinese economy, even more so than we have
seen in the past.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Remember this is all.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Subject to change at a whim because China decides, you know,
how big their GDP is. They don't really show anybody anything.
I don't know if you're aware of this. They've been
known in the past to tell porcupyes, that's a lie
for those of you not keeping score. But there's no
doubt that they're suffering. It's the question of how much

(19:25):
can they suffer? How much are they willing to suffer
in this situation. So Bessen said, yesterday, both of them
just happened to be in Europe at the same time,

(19:45):
and so they decided, okay, let's meet in Switzerland and
we can see if we can at.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Least have a chat.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Meanwhile, when it comes to us, the Fed chair Jerome Powell,
very exciting man.

Speaker 14 (19:58):
The Federal Reserve Chairman, delivered sobering warning to Americans of
what's to come. If Trump's trade war drags on, They're.

Speaker 15 (20:05):
Likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slow down
in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment.

Speaker 14 (20:10):
Now, the President certainly has not been shy and expressing
his hope that the FED chair would lower interest rates,
but yesterday he announced that he is holding steady for now,
continuing that wait and see approach.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Which I'm sure pisses Trump off to no end, because
you know it does. And one of the interesting things
this is a professor. You know, we think that because
we have a deficit when it comes to trade, that
that is a horrible thing, and that you know, every

(20:44):
year were's trillions of dollars when it comes to trade deficit. Yes,
some of that's true, but it's not all bad, not
just because we buy cheap goods.

Speaker 16 (20:52):
We were losing a trillion dollars a year. Now we're
not losing anything, you know, That's the way I look
at it. We were losing with China and trade at
trillion dollars a year more actually one point in one,
but let's say a trillion. You know what we're losing now.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Nothing doesn't make any sense to you.

Speaker 17 (21:07):
No, Unfortunately, it doesn't make any sense. So what he's
basically assuming is that when we're buying things from China,
that we would instead buy those things only domestically, and
the whole globe would continue to buy from us in
the same way. And so we somehow not no longer.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Be be losing.

Speaker 18 (21:29):
But that's not how the world works.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
When we're trading.

Speaker 17 (21:33):
It's because there are goods going out, goods and services
going out, goods and services coming in, but there's also
cash going in and out. Right, So China might be
investing in our treasury bills, in our debt, which actually
helps keep interest rates low, which actually we're winning. So
there's lots of ways to think about that incorrectly. But

(21:54):
I think the most important thing for people to understand
is that in today's complex global economy, almost every business
has some part of it that is done internationally, and
cut off the ability to do that part internationally, we
can accidentally kill the entire business. And there's a lot

(22:15):
of American small business owners feeling that heat right now.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
There is, and we'll see what it looks like if
American small business suffers greatly. Is what Trump wanted because
his goal is down the road to see an amazing,
incredible rebuild and reset of this economy. And it sucks

(22:43):
if you have a small business. How can you say that,
I'm just saying what everybody else is saying. I don't
know what it's going to look like. I continue to
tell people that I don't know. Some people are gonna
have really really good things come out of it, and

(23:05):
some are going to have really really bad things. So
those are the extremes on the far side. Now, what
happens in the middle that will tilt it one way
or another on how this thing plays itself out, Well,
that is going to take what people like to call time,
and time will sort itself out. I still go back
to this over and over again, and I will continue

(23:26):
to go back to this. If we believe China is
all of the things that we think they are, then
why are we even having this conversation? Just curious about that.
Speaking of controversial immigration, very controversial, I mean it shouldn't be.

(23:52):
And I don't deal in crazy. I don't deal in insanity.
I don't throw crazy crap out. Do you know how
easy it would be if I woke up in the
morning and decided to screw it. I'm just gonna go
out there and I'm gonna say the most inflammatory, crazy,
looney thing. But I can't. I can't. That's not who

(24:18):
I am. I don't deal in that kind of wackiness
and fear and inflammatory rhetoric. I just that's something I
can't do, and it's been weighing on me. I will
tell you the local station that I work for is
hardcore anti immigration, like throw everybody out today, and to

(24:46):
the point.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Where even yesterday I was chatting.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Because we have a big becoming what really is now
a national story, which is the Tennesseeighway Patrol and ice
working together.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
And so one of the local congress.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
People on the left, she would come on my show
because we have a good time, we laugh, and a
lot of times we politics.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
What is it the thing we're always talking about?

Speaker 4 (25:18):
And everybody got pissed, I mean, threats all kinds of
stuff to me because you didn't push back, You weren't
mean to her, you.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Didn't yell at her.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
No, I let her talk. It's what I do. Uh,
that's not who I am. I asked her questions were real.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
But because I don't raise my voice doesn't mean that
my because what people want nowadays is theatrics, and that
drives me crazy.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
What they want is theatrics.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
And the I just don't give it to people, which
is again that's on me in the sense that I
could easily say the craziest crap you can think of.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Do you know how easy it is?

Speaker 4 (26:08):
I could deal in Bologney all day and I can't,
and I can't. You know what I care about. I
care about truth. I care about what's real what's not real.
And truth is not black and white as we want
it to be.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
It's just not.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Everybody wants it to be.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's this.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Or it's that, it's not that anymore because human beings
are involved. Well you atuad, there's yeah, somebody's coming here illegally.
You're here illegally. You haven't plied for asylum. At any
given time, you get a knock at the door and

(26:58):
you could be removed. You're here and you've applied for asylum.
Whether you like it or not. There is a process.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
People don't like that.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
And I was telling my wife yesterday and I'm gonna
be open with you guys.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Fill it's the safe space.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Between the insanity of all of these people raising money
and the go fund me world, not go fund me,
give send go. You know, you got a kid that
stabs another kid and kills him somehow, he's the victim
and he raises money. You've got a lady over here
who calls a five year old the N word. Somehow

(27:47):
she's the victim, and she's raising well close to a
million dollars. And I just I told my wife, I said,
you know, I don't care that people yell at me.
I mean, that's fin's the business I'm in. But I said,

(28:09):
it's the disdain that everybody has for each other that
nobody cares about. What's the real story. Are we going
to find solutions? All they want is theatrics and yelling.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
People want affirmation on information, they want theatrics, they want yelling,
they want anger, and they want you to deliver a
swift kick in the grundle to somebody else so they
can feel good like they've got some points.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
One on a board on the internet.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Eyes can't do it, you know. Like immigration, No, we
shouldn't be sending anybody to Libya. Well what we're gonna
send people to Libya?

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Are you being serious? Well that's been kind of bantied about.
Well they should be if they're here illegally, we should
send him wherever. Well, no, that's again not the way
it works. I can say you can't be here. You
came here illegally, you didn't apply for asylum. Here's your
due process. Did you apply for asylum?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
No?

Should his ass been removed from the country according to
two judges? Absolutely, stop defending a scumbag. And I say
that because of the things that his wife has said.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 20 (32:18):
A Their only conflict is a celebration of patriarchy.

Speaker 21 (32:22):
We know we've got a little window of time before
the cardinals are sequestered inside that Cystine Chapel with no
access to their social media and their phones, that they
will see the pink smoke over the Nashcan and they
will know that women are sending a clear signal that
they cannot go in with one hundred and thirty three
men deciding the future of Catholic Church. Without half of

(32:44):
that Catholic.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Church, I'm gonna let it shine. Yet they're going to
do that, and that's what they're doing currently. Women are
out there, they're alling up these pink flares.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
What do you think of this? Don't think of it
at all.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
It's what we're trying to say, speaking of fun audio
of insanity.

Speaker 22 (33:06):
Hey, this is just your reminder that the reason you
were taught that gossiping was bad was because gossiping is
the way that women spread information about which men are
safe and which men are unsafe. So the patriarchy decided
to make gossiping a bad thing and something that only
bad women do. But it was really just so you
didn't know which ones of them are safe.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh okay, do you just get that, By the way,
I'm fairly certain.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
They're safe around you.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Ah, what do you say?

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Chatterre you accusing somebody. I'm just a little low t
It's all I'm saying. Maybe I'm wrong, But gossiping was
brought on by the patriarchy, is what he's saying, because
the men that were bad wanted to brand the women
who gossiped as bad. And for those of you listening at.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Home or on the road, many if you probably know.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
A lot of times when women are gossiping, it's not
always about.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Men. Oh oh, just putting it out there.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Okay, don't shoot the messenger, baby. How about one more.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Which I'm not debating a Trump supporter, I'm beating you.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
There's nothing for us to go back and forth about.

Speaker 23 (34:32):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
If you're not about to throw them hands, clothe that mouth.
So there's that.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I think you'd like to fight us, is what he's saying.
Are you a Trump supporter? I support Trump. I want
my president to succeed. I absolutely support Trump. Do I
think everything he does is perfect?

Speaker 1 (34:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (34:52):
But you want to fight somebody, I'm gonna go back
to this. I've seen the video and.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
I'm not really sure if you should be alarmed if
he starts throwing.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Hands or handbags?

Speaker 24 (35:12):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:13):

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Was it smooth? Was their chaos? Is there chaos for
other reasons at some airports? We'll talk a little bit
about that as well. More on the Conclave and Netflix
is changing stuff. Plus we've gotten not one, not two,

Speaker 1 (36:13):
You up stories.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
Oh, remember to reach out to us across all of
our social media. Hour number two of the Chad Benson Shows,
straight ahead.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
While the eyes of the world are staring at Saint
Peter Square and the chimney. If you've watched any of
the like any of the news, Fox and CNN, MSBC,
they have a little box on the right with the
chimney waiting patiently.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
It's happening, It's happening. Not yet.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
We'll get to that in a second. While that's going on.
Two religions that aren't Catholic, the mostly Muslim Pakistan and
the mostly Hindu India. Well, a different kind of fire happening.

Speaker 25 (37:33):
Are India and Pakistan, these two nuclear armed neighbors on
the brink of war.

Speaker 18 (37:38):
We've seen India launch.

Speaker 25 (37:39):
Missiles towards what they call terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. This
comes after twenty six civilians have been killed in Indian
controlled Kashmir by militants, something that India accuses Pakistan of
involvement in, something that Pakistan completely denies. But this is
a long conflict, one that's been fought over me many times.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
You think, not a lot of new conflicts going on, right,
it's not a lot of that. You don't see a
lot of new conflicts because you don't see a lot
of new countries outside of parts of Africa where one
group takes over and then they you know, I mean
half the half the countries in Africa. When you get

(38:24):
a globe or you shoots a globe, chat, it might
just be a table because here with this flat okay, well,
whatever you decide to get, it's written in raceable marker.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
What are they called this week? Oh? Okay, Oh, they're
called that okay, oh, chad.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
But you don't see it.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
There's not a lot of new conflicts. And by today's standard,
this isn't even really an old conflict when it comes
to countries because in many of these things, whether it's
Israel and.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Gaza and Hamas or.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
What you have going on here in India and Pakistan,
it's the countries mean nothing. They've been feuding with each
other long before they were countries.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Manual was from Kashmir.

Speaker 25 (39:14):
It all started in nineteen forty seven when the British
divided India, its former colony, into two countries. Pakistan, a
Muslim majority country and India, a Hindu majority one. The
borders were hastily drawn up and Kashmir was caught in
the middle. Soon enough, war broke out between the two

(39:37):
newly independent countries over control of Kashmir. Essentially, that's an
issue that's just never been resolved and it's still at
the heart of a lot of the violence that is
playing out today.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
No, wait, let me get this right. I want you
to stick with me here.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
So there's a small region with these two countries that
don't really like each other that they're fighting.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Oh have you heard this before?

Speaker 25 (40:03):
Another Two wars broke out, one in nineteen sixty five
and one in nineteen seventy one, and over the past
two decades, militants have consistently fought with Indian security forces.
Some of them have been demanding independence for Kashmir, and
some of them have been demanding that Kashmir becomes a
part of Pakistan. The Indian government has consistently said that

(40:24):
these militants are supported by Pakistan, and Pakistan have consistently
said that they have no involvement at all in them.
But over the years, tens of thousands of people have
been killed in the silence.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
And actually since forty seven a million killed, give or
take ten to fifteen million people displaced. And the militant
side of it is very interesting because not only do
you have people who are coming over who are part
of militant groups or terrorist organizations. They don't just want

(40:57):
Some of them want it all cash to be.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Pakistan.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Some of it want it to be its own area.
So you have militants, we fighting against militants, and then
you have India as well. So I don't think it's
going to be resolved anytime soon. The question is is

(41:25):
this going to become much bigger? Because I remind everybody,
nuclear powers staring at each other is not a good thing.
Considering India, their doctrine, if you will, when it comes
to the nukes, is if you hit us with the nuke,
We're going to come back at you with the nuke.

(41:47):
Pakistan doesn't have the manpower or the money to sustain
any kind of conventional warfare, so their doctrine is we
reserve the right to fire any of these things off
nuclear wise if we feel threatened.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Oh yeah, not good, not good.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
We move on.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
This time, the eyes of the world over to Saint
Peter's Square.

Speaker 5 (42:15):
Every morning, the cardinals elect groups of their peers to
manage the vote. Three scrutineers check the ballot before three revises,
double check it, and then attach it to a piece
of thread. After the rounds of voting and the results
are read out, the ballot's a bund.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Burn, baby burn. It's coming furnal And there's a special
thing that they do with the ballots to give it
the white smoke in the black smoke. Last time there
were some issues with the smoke and they came out gray,

(42:53):
and then people were confused.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
And this time they got it down. Plus they brought
out the bells as as a backup.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
In the vote, each of them writes a name on
a rectangular ballot printed with the Latin words I elect
as Supreme Pontiff. They're even careful to change their handwriting
so as not to be identified. Then they walk their
folded ballot, one at a time to the altar, where
they kneel for a short prayer and submit their vote
to be counted.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
You need eighty nine votes to become at this moment
in time, eighty nine votes to become the pontiff.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
And then you have to accept I don't know what
kind of role you play in picking your name, because
there is you know, I've been going with Johnny Thunder,
but apparently that's not a name you're allowed to choose from.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Let's see what.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Names that you're allowed to choose from, shall we, because
there is a.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
Way that you do this. I hope you get a
say in it, all right, So pope names. By the way,
Pope Innocent was not. We found that out the other day.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
He was the like the worst ever.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
So here you go, uh, Pope John twenty three, Gregory and.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
Benedict come in second sixteen, Clement fourteen, Innocent thirteen, Pious twelve.
So the way that the popes picked their name often
reflects the way the new pope's intent as far as
their focus goes or homage homage. So Pope Francis Frank

(44:58):
called him Frank. He took his name in honor of
Saint Francis of a ccis, emphasizing humility and care for
the poor.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
Pope Benedict he took that because he wanted to be
known as the Pope of peace.

Speaker 4 (45:15):
And of course Benedict the what fifteenth during World War
One that he played a huge role in that. So
that's how they choose their names, so be prepared for that.
By the way, no pope has taken the name Peter.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
The second out of reverence for Saint Peter the first Pope.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
There are some names that have been used only once. Francis, Peter, Valentine,
and Hilarious, which is I think we know which one
I'm choosing.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Here comes po Hilarious. I don't even know what to
say at that point in time. I mean, it's just
the bad, you know, I picked that name.

Speaker 17 (46:03):
H h.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Still drama though.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
It's it's interesting, Like the whole thing is interesting.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
I mean I'm not Catholic, but I find the whole
thing interesting because you know, I was talking yesterday, you know,
as a as a as a Christian, you know, non
denominational follower of Christ.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
We don't have a pope. I mean the closest thing
we would quote unquote have to a pope and we
didn't elect it was Billy Graham, So we don't have
We don't have that.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
So that's that's an interesting you know, It's like it's
so that's why it's so interesting.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Plus the reach. You know, we talked last hour about Trump.
He's the leader of the free world. Yes he is,
but he doesn't rule.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
Over the world as much as some people out there
would like to think he does. Gee of China and
Mody of India, both of their countries have about one
point four billion, which is what the Catholics represent, but
that's globally, so they're you know, they rule China, they

(47:13):
rule India. And yes, the things in particular g and
Trump do have absolute impact globally, and what Modi may
do would have an impact for sure. But when you
look at the reach.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Of the pope onto every continent, that's that's huge. So
that's why it's fascinating.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
It is.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
I don't know why people, you know, it's funny we
talk about this and and people are like, well are
you talking about because it is fascinating, right, Like I
like talking about fascinating things, and just the whole way
that this thing is done, and it's just the whole
thing is fascinating. And when you think about somebody in

(48:07):
the next twenty four to forty eight hours, probably is
gonna go from nobody really knowing who you are to
the whole.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
World knowing who you are.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Dad has got to be crazy. It's gonna be interesting,
for sure.

Speaker 4 (48:26):

Joe Chad Benson.

Speaker 26 (49:50):
Nobody knew how the first day of real ID requirements
would go, how many people would show up at airports
without acceptable forms of ID. But at LAX there have
been no longer security lines, and Federal Security Director Jason
Pantagia says it's been smooth.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Today's gone extremely well here at LAX.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
We've had zero operational impacts. There's been no excessive way times.
It's really been business as usual.

Speaker 26 (50:13):
Those who don't have an acceptable form of ID have
been sent to a separate line to have their identification
confirmed by other means.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
What can you do that? Yes, you can do that.
That is something you can do because not everybody has it,
as we know, and quite frankly, I still think it's ridiculous,
and the fact that people go out and get the
real ID, I just feel like relating to something here
that's a bit more of a nightmare, a dystopian technocrat
world we're going to live in sooner rather than later.

(50:41):
But still if you don't have one now and you
don't have a passport, you can still get on an airplane.

Speaker 7 (50:47):
If you have a non compliant state issued ID, you
will be allowed through the checkpoint. It may take some
additional time, may be subject to additional measures. You will
be able to get through.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Oh, thank god, get to go to wherever you're going. Yes,
it just takes a little while longer.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
That's it.

Speaker 7 (51:04):
We have a variety of measures. The kind of fall
within that additional screening category. So again it depends on
the situation, depends on the airport and time of day.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Can't take a little longer.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
I've yet to hear somebody who was turned away yesterday.
Though I thought it would be more of a mess.
But the mess at this moment in time has more.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
To two with the certain parts of the country and
the struggle they're having when it comes to air traffic control,
things like Newark.

Speaker 23 (51:38):
The FAA now saying it will replace antiquated copper wires
with fiber optic technology and is working to boost controller staffing,
but the CEO of United says that's not enough. He
wants the FAA to limit the number of flights at Newark.
The FAA says the airport can handle seventy seven flights
per hour, but United CEOs says they routinely approve more

(52:01):
than eighty, which.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Is not good.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson's show, is your ex your Insta
as well as your Facebook and YouTube and if you
miss Sae the show, God the podcast right here on
the Chad Benson Show and the other side. And the

(52:32):
copper thing is important because the other day, if you
guys did know, in the midst of all that was
going on during the normal fly day, everything went out,
the power, all of the stuff. You can't have that
when people are in the air. That's more of an
issue than the real idea. At this point, we've gotten

(52:53):
through some votes when it comes to poping, and as
we all know, kids poping it ain't easy and these
are probably struggling because you know, if you haven't heard this,
I played it earlier. This is CBS yesterday, CBS Mornings
yesterday talking about the Vatican, what they're about ready to
go into without things like their cell phone, so.

Speaker 7 (53:14):
They sit the whole time, they don't stand up, and.

Speaker 27 (53:16):
Most of them will know most of them will tell
you that while that's going on, they're sitting reading their
breviary that's a book of prayers the clerks you have,
or praying a rosary, or doing the one thing we
know that they're not doing is checking Instagram because their
device is a whole.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
I believe the kids.

Speaker 28 (53:34):
I believe the kids call it raw dogging it and
you're going to go through a long period of time
with no electronic device.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Yeah, right, raw dogging it.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
I don't think you should say that when it comes
to the church.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Just it's for a lot of people out there.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
If you don't know what raw dogging it is, well,
some of you think it's one thing, and it's not,
but it is the other side of it is it's
when you're on an airplane or you're traveling numerous amounts
of hours and you don't have any electronics.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
You just sit there and they're calling that raw dogging.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
It just wasn't a great use of the phrase.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Say show grad the podcast Chat Benson.

Speaker 13 (54:17):
Shown Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Hey, I can do a lot of things. This is
I'll be honest, unique and creepy because it's a victim
impact statement from a guy that's no longer with us.

Speaker 18 (54:57):
Hello.

Speaker 29 (54:57):
Just to be clear for everyone seeing this, I am
a version of Chris Pelke, recreated through AI that uses
my picture and my voice profile. I was able to
be digitally regenerated to share with you today. But here
is insight into who I actually was in real life.
Here is a true representation of who I was, you know,
not how the courtroom portrayed me. So I would like

(55:18):
to make my own impact statement.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Unique and again a little bit creepy.

Speaker 30 (55:24):
Chris Pelke's voice and likeness ringing out in a courtroom
three and a half years after his death. But how
the artificial intelligence generated video an idea that initially came
to Chris's big sister Stacy, as she collected victim impact
statements and prepared her own.

Speaker 20 (55:42):
We received forty nine letters that the judge was able
to read before walking into sentencing that day, But there
was one missing piece.

Speaker 18 (55:52):
There was one voice that was not in those letters.

Speaker 30 (55:55):
So Stacy turned to her husband Tim and their friend
Scott Yenser, who to the other have been working with
artificial intelligence technology for years. The process to bring Chris back,
though painstaking from a technological standpoint.

Speaker 20 (56:09):
There's no tool out there that you can just go
and say, here's a voice file, here's a picture, please.

Speaker 18 (56:15):
Make it come to life. And this is what I
wanted to say.

Speaker 20 (56:18):
So they're scrounging and using this tool and that tool,
and this tool and this script and this audio and
this image and trying to mash it all together and
make a Frankenstein.

Speaker 4 (56:27):
Which is again interesting and creepy, and I'm sure this
will be one of many. But then it's coming up
with Okay, you're doing this and you're giving an impact statement,
but who's the one that's directing the person to give
the impact statement?

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Because you can come up with the look and the
you know, that's not hard the voice in today's world,
if you've got some voice, that's not hard, but it's
the impact and you wanted to come from in theory
the person who's no longer with us.

Speaker 30 (57:04):
Then to decide what the real Chris would say.

Speaker 20 (57:07):
I have my own thoughts and feelings about how much
time I wanted the sentence to be, if I forgive
the shooter or not. I have very definitive opinions about that.
But it was important not to make Chris say what
I was feeling, and to detach and let him speak,

(57:28):
because he said things that would never come out of
my mouth, but I know would come out of.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
His, which is the whole point in the impact statement
you wanted to be coming from in theory him.

Speaker 29 (57:42):
To Gabriel hork Asidas, the man who shot me. It
is a shame we encountered each other that day in
those circumstances. In another life we probably could have been friends.
I believe in forgiveness and in God who forgives. I
always have and I still do.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Is I mean it. It had a real impact, if
you will.

Speaker 30 (58:06):
That message one that moved Judge Todd Lang.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
I love that.

Speaker 21 (58:10):
I thank you for that.

Speaker 22 (58:12):
I feel that that was genuine. That who's obvious forgiveness
of just a hook Casinos reflects the character I heard
about today.

Speaker 30 (58:19):
Also moved was Chris's big brother John, who, along with
the rest of the family Stacy, chose not to tell
about the AI video in order to get their genuine reaction.

Speaker 31 (58:29):
There's something about seeing Chris and the man that I knew,
and the belief that I thought in my head that
Chris would have forgiven.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
This guy, but to see his face and to hear
his voice say, it just waves of healing washed over
my soul because that was the man that I knew.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
Which is again, imagine that going in there, you're going
to give your impact statements of what's took place in
this guy shot him in a roads rate incident three
years ago, and you're not expecting to see your family member,
your brother, your son.

Speaker 30 (59:12):
You're not expecting that John commending his sister for bringing
their beloved baby brother back for a couple minutes.

Speaker 31 (59:19):
And my sister did an exceptional job of detaching herself
from her own opinions, her own desires, her own feelings
on the matter, and put herself in Chris's shoes.

Speaker 18 (59:33):
What would Chris say.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
If he were here?

Speaker 31 (59:35):
It was the beginning of empathy.

Speaker 30 (59:37):
But Stacy says the process became easy once she focused
on Chris.

Speaker 18 (59:41):
He was the best one of us.

Speaker 20 (59:44):
What he believed was clear, what he believed was pure,
and what he loved was for everyone. And that's the
reason why this worked is because his blanket of.

Speaker 29 (59:55):
Love to my family and everyone that I've met along
the way. It was a lot of fun. You know,
I always had a lot of fun love each other
because you never know how long you have, but make
the most of each day and live your life.

Speaker 18 (01:00:08):
It is okay to stumble.

Speaker 29 (01:00:10):
God has you remember getting old is a gift that
not everybody has, so embrace it and stop worrying about
those wrinkles. Thank you to everyone for being here. It
means more than you know. Well, I'm going to go
fishing now, love you all, See you on the other side.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Again. Creepy, but very interesting and had an impact.

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
The shooter got thirteen years, and I'm sure the impact
had of the statements. And this again you heard the
judge said it moved him where he could have been
forever in jail. Very interesting, very interesting. Indeed, speaking of

(01:00:52):
AI debunk bot, what now you guys know me? I
do my best to try to give you the truth,
even if it hurts your side of the isle's feelings.
But there shouldn't be sides of the isle, but there
is because we have different beliefs that I'm cool with that,
but I want to know what the truth is.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
And remember, And here's a Burger example. I got an
email today because I'm quite the hot topic here locally
hot topic because I don't apparently hate enough, because that's
what I feel like it is a lot of times.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
So I get an email this morning from a nice
lady Sue. According to the Department of Homeland Security, that's DHS.
This is data from fiscal years two thousand and nine
twenty sixteen under Obama, OH, more than three million individuals
were formally removed from the country during the administration, during

(01:01:51):
which between fifty eight percent and eighty four percent of
these removals were so called summary removals, So that's an
expedit did removal and an reinstatement of removal, which do
not involve a hearing before a judge. On average, about
seventy percent of removals during this period fell into these categories.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
And I said, yeah, they're like, we should do it
for all.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
That's why that you guys don't know, you know, telling
me because I'm honest with people about things. That Yeah,
that those numbers are correct. I said, do you know
what a summary and removal is? Do you understand how
that works? Yes, you can just if they're not here legally,
you can get them out. And just I said, of

(01:02:41):
these removals, about ninety five percent of them were people
who were caught essentially at the border not coming through
the port of entry, given a hearing, really quick turn
around and removed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
If you're in the.

Speaker 4 (01:02:58):
Country for longer than two years, you then get a hearing.
So one of them less than two years you don't
get a hearing, they can turn around and go away.
If you're in the country for two years or more,

(01:03:22):
that changes. So there is no summer removal expedite it
unless you waive it. So what does that mean, Well,
you get a notice to appear. You then go to
a judge and you enter in your plea. Then you

(01:03:43):
can ask the judge to give you more time to
see a attorney, which they give you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
The whole due process thing. I know some of you
hate it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
Then you go from there and that can take on
average about two to three years. So well, yes, you're correct, Obama,
the Deporter in chief, did a.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Lot of that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
A vast majority of that was stuff done at the
border or within or visus. Some people would overstay visas.
That was also another one, but a vast majority of
that was at the border. And she yet mad. She
didn't want to hear that. No, you don't, because here's
the thing. It's not that I want to debunk something

(01:04:33):
because I believe if you're here legally, there needs to
be consequences. Now we can figure out what those consequences
gonna be. For somebod who's been here for twelve years,
who's got a family, the kids are born here, they
haven't committed a crime.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
No, removing them is not the right thing to do.
Be honest with you.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
It sucks to you might be mad. It sucks for
all the people out there who've done it the right way.
I get that, but this is what it is. So
I came across this today. There's a new thing called
debunk bought, so it debunks your stuff. If you think
there's a con now this is if you think there's

(01:05:16):
a conspiracy. I want to point that out, because everything's
a conspiracy nowadays. Man, some of the stuff I've heard
of the last twenty four hours, Oh my god, its spectacular.

Speaker 32 (01:05:26):
So the idea is someone comes in and they describe
a conspiracy belief that they hold and also the evidence
that they see as supporting it. And that's a really
important part of this intervention. A lot of conspiracies, like
the evidence that people hold supporting their conspiracy beliefs is
just really varied. It changes a lot from person to person,
and that makes a scalable intervention that can use information
to combat the whole population set of conspiracy beliefs just

(01:05:49):
really challenging logistically. So someone comes in, they describe their
very specific beliefs, and the AI is able to search
across the corpus of information that it has in its
training data, identify a little bits of facts that are
relevant to that person's beliefs, and then show them to
them in the form of a logical argument to try
to change their mind.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
Well, first of all, you said logical, so I'm ready
to take a step back. But the thing I found
interesting is, according to their data, is how many people
would actually go from believing a conspiracy to going, oh, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
Okay, so that's not true.

Speaker 32 (01:06:28):
So most people actually change their beliefs a little bit.
People went down on average about twenty percent and one
in four so about twenty five percent, as you just said,
changed their beliefs completely, So they went down to.

Speaker 18 (01:06:39):
Is this more effective than a human telling the person
that what they think is misinformation?

Speaker 32 (01:06:45):
Yeah, so we've actually we've run a version of that study.
It's not published yet, so this is cutting it's new.
But when people think they're talking to a human, it
works just as well. And I think the same content
coming from a human would work just as well too.
It's not the fact, but it's an AI. It's it's
not the information has been leveraged in an effective way.

Speaker 30 (01:07:05):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
I don't think that's true. I think I think.

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
I think there's the conspiracy in my mind in that
because I think coming from it. Okay, here's where I
think that would play itself out in a different way
coming from a human. If that person is in your tribe,
which is weird to say, but in your click, in

(01:07:34):
your echo chamber, the sphere of influence, if you will, Yes,
I think you can get people to go okay.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
I didn't understand that. Maybe that's not right.

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
If it is somebody they deem on the other side,
they're not going to listen and they'll dig in harder.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
And that's why AI is one of those things.

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
It's like when we used to talk about with the
first go round with Trump, why the polls were off
so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
And what they found out was.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
If it was a call to somebody's house, old school,
but it was a robo call on whether or not
you supported Trump, people were more app to tell the
truth than if a human made the call, because we
don't want to be judged and we don't want to

(01:08:25):
be seen as wrong. If that makes sense. Interesting study.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
Talk a little bit more about this next hour three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 19 (01:09:54):
Welcome to ches Che No, not the country, the institution,
the Chat Fenson Show.

Speaker 11 (01:10:03):
Chaos at Columbia University, crowds of masked pro Palestinian protesters
storming the library, beating drums and chanting. Two public safety
officers were injured in the crowd surge.

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
Whoa yep, that time again. It's the season of protests
and once again they're back at it. And you've got
a bunch of people that of course ran into a library.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
And that's when the custodians are like, you know what,
why don't we just lock the doors? Okay, you guys
are in there, now have fun.

Speaker 11 (01:10:41):
The NYPD taking some seventy people into custody. Columbia says
most in the crowd were not affiliated with the school, saying,
Columbia strongly condemns anti Semitism in all forms of hate
and discrimination, some of which we witnessed today.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
As they should, as they absolutely should.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Anti Semitism.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
Now, protest no problem with when you start taking over buildings,
you start threatening people, as we know, that's not free speech.
You're doing something completely different there. But protest all you want,
knock yourself out all you want. When it comes to

(01:11:25):
stuff like that. You and I both know that I'm
a huge believer in free speech, and we know that
in free and it never has been. But threatening Jewish
students is not saying, hey, I want people in Palestine
to have a chance to survive and live in peace.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
And I think what Israel is doing wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:11:48):
That's one thing what they're doing in many cases, and
again most of them agitators from outside of the school.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
Well, that's not what those people are doing.

Speaker 4 (01:12:01):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson show.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):

out our Facebook as well. We really appreciate it when
you do that. Right here on the Chad Benson Show.
Coming up, hour three of the program. So much fun
stuff to get to. Netflix making big changes, Baby making

(01:12:28):
big changes. Now, you want to talk about something that's
going to affect us.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
We can talk.

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
Immigration, we can talk war in Pakistan and India and
what the potential may be that would really affect us
with nuclear but Netflix making changes, that's totally going to
affect us.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
We will talk about that.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
And yes, I do have quite a few nature will
mess you up things to get to and they all
seem to be in Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
You're missing the showg other podcast, Chad. That's a joke.
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
We all know popen ate easy and popen is going
on right now. At least the voting is going on.
We remind everybody here as we break down the voting
and the way this thing breaks itself out, it looks
like this. They vote till there's two thirds majority that

(01:13:55):
would put it in eighty nine in this go round.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Then they go to the man. There's a bunch of
women who are crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:04):
It's like this is a patriarchy, but I'm just going
to stick with what's real. Then they go to the
guy and they say, hey, guy, do you want to
be pope? And if guy decides he wants to be pope,
because they do ask him, do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
You want to do this? Are you sure you want
to do this?

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
Then he goes into the Room of tears and there's
prayer and all this kind of stuff right after the end,
and you know that's after they light the way goes
the smoke. Black smoke is no, white smoke is yeay,
and off they head. That's how this works.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
He picks a name.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
We were going over earlier the names of the popes
because I found it fascinating. So the audition of popes
choosing a new name upon their election dates goes all
the way back to the sixth century, simolizing the spiritual
mission and the legacy they wish to upole.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
So the practice.

Speaker 4 (01:15:10):
Began with Pope John the Second in five fifty three.
He changed his birth name Mercurio to avoid bearing the
name of a Roman god.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
So he do want that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Throughout history, there's been names that have been favored by popes.
John very popular twenty three number one. By the way,
Number one is John Gregory and Benedict number two. They're
tied at sixteen. Clement chose my fourteen popes.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
One of my favorites, Innocent, who we found out was
not very innocent the first one. He was quite the
naughty guy.

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Fourteen of those or thirteen of those, excuse me, pious,
which I would find it would be hard.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
I'm very pious. Twelve of those.

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
Now, there are some names that have only been used once. Francis,
Peter Valentine, and the name I would absolutely go with
if I had my choice.

Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
Hilarious. What is it? Chad hilarious?

Speaker 4 (01:16:18):
Yeah, but what's the name? Hilarious? Pope hilarious, patrons, state
of jokes. I don't know, it's just name is hilarious.
So why they picked the names? So you pick the
name based on essentially how you want to kind of

(01:16:39):
rule as the leader of the church. So what is
you going to be your focus? So for Francis, it
was about the poor and you know, humility. For Benedict,
it was when he chose his it was in honor
of Benedict the fourteenth and his whole thing was it

(01:17:00):
was about peace.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
Right, bringing peace. We need one of those right now.

Speaker 4 (01:17:03):
Pope John Paul the Second combined the names of his
immediate predecessor, signaling the continuity of the reforms of the church.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
One other name used was Peter Peter, So Peter the Second.

Speaker 4 (01:17:23):
Took the name in honor of Saint Peter, and nobody
has used the name since. Doesn't mean you can't. It's
just one of those things where they decided not to.
And I don't know if there's any other names you
can use.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
What if I like my name? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
What if I want to add a new name again?

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
Go with hilarious. We haven't had an innocent for a
while either. I'm just saying it might not be the
worst thing to throw an innocent out there every once
in a while. I think you're being sillious. No, I'm
being hilarious. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson's show. That is your Insta,

(01:18:12):
that is your Twitter, that is your YouTube and face Book.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
Love hearing from.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
All of you.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
Meanwhile, with all the stuff going on in India, and
there is a plenty of it, if you guys haven't heard,
two nations are staring at each other with nuclear weapons.
One of them, we'll call them Pakistan because that's their name,

(01:18:44):
has said that they would use nuclear weapons even if
it's conventional weapons used against them. The reserve of the
right to use nuclear weapons as a strike first, compared

(01:19:05):
to pretty much everybody else out there with their doctrine
or playbook, including India, who's got nuclear weapons, who they're
up against, who has said yeah, no, if you hit
us with nuclear weapons, we will hit you back.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
The big thing with nuclear weapons is it's a deterrent.

Speaker 4 (01:19:22):
I don't know if it will deter and God willing,
nothing is going to happen outside of the skirmishes and some.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Of the.

Speaker 4 (01:19:34):
Bombings that have gone on that were designed to send
a message as a retaliatory strike against the attacks that
took place against India in the part of the Kashmir
area that they controlled, and that's what kind of started
this whole thing.

Speaker 10 (01:19:53):
Skirmish's tit for tat exchanges on the demarcation line between
Indian controlled Kashmere and pas Kistani control Kashmir is pretty common.
But what we've seen from India these missile strikes not
only into Pakistani administer Kashmir, but also into Pakistan proper
are much much different to that and a much much
higher level of escalation.

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
So we'll find out if there is going to be
any more escalation. Yesterday they were trying to figure out
a way they could try to slow some stuff down.
Kind of cool everybody's jets, But I don't you know,
here's the thing in the midst of trying to cool
things down. These are two nations that have been fighting

(01:20:38):
since nineteen forty seven. These are two nations that are
finding over a piece of land that they both say
is theirs. And on top of that, a group of
people inside of Pakistan also want Kashmir for themselves. So yeah,

(01:21:01):
and then we've got Ukraine.

Speaker 24 (01:21:04):
What the Ukrainians have repeatedly said, they're ready for a
thirty day seasefire, and this is something that the United
States has also made clear that it wants.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
We saw JD.

Speaker 24 (01:21:16):
Vans in Munich at another kind of security meeting saying
that the Russians are asking for too much, and again
President Trump expressing his exasperation with the slow pace of
movement towards some kind of peace negotiations, essentially saying that
their patients will end at some point and they're ready
to step away.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
But what does that mean. You're that's my thing. Okay,
you're ready to step away. Well, Russia's probably totally cool,
so you're going to leave us alone, let us do
whatever we want. Well, is that it CAUs in truth?
They're not. Here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
Russia doesn't think that Europe will fund and arm Ukraine
for as long as they need, So US stepping away
benefits putin or as US stepping away. Trump and the
administration said, if this is the game you want to play,

(01:22:16):
then we're just going to keep giving them what they
need until you decide you want to get serious.

Speaker 24 (01:22:22):
It proposed it really to suit its own purposes, because
it's got this huge parade that's taking place present shi
Jing Ping of China, a monkst other world leaders will
be attending, and of course the last thing they want
is their raid sirens going off and Ukrainian drone strikes
at the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
So they had suggested this, but.

Speaker 24 (01:22:43):
For the Ukrainians and indeed for the United States, it
just didn't go far enough.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
No, it's not a It's like everything you asked something.

Speaker 4 (01:22:56):
And then I say no, and then I throw something
out there, and then you say no. And then you
throw something back. That's the way it is. The problem
is we propose, they say no, and then they propose
something equal to or greater than what they've already proposed

(01:23:21):
or we've proposed to them, and we say no, and
then everybody goes through the corners for a long time.
It's not even like you're walking away from a deal
to try to get them to come back to the table.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
At all.

Speaker 4 (01:23:35):
So I don't know what this means at this moment
in time. I couldn't tell you. There's a lot going
on that I do know. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show is your Twitter acts and everything
else right here on the Chad Benson Shoe sale of
public lands. Republicans are going to pay for tax cuts
by selling public land.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
They love tax cuts.

Speaker 4 (01:29:20):
I don't mind tax cuts, but sometimes I just sit
there and think, really, this is what you guys are
gonna do, we shall.

Speaker 2 (01:29:30):
See, Chad.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
It is important, Okay, it's important when it comes to
tax cuts that they tax cut stuff shouldn't be mean
to them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Not being mean.

Speaker 4 (01:29:42):
I'm just asking a question. What does everything always have
to be about? Like, let's just I like tax cuts.
They should be smart. We have to understand, though, we're
not going to tax cut our way out of the giant,
huge hole we're in when it comes to our debt,

(01:30:08):
and so we better figure out how we can.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
Do some other things.

Speaker 4 (01:30:15):
I continue to say, if I was Trump, and I
know the republic is freak out about this, not so much.

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
Trump raised taxes on the top one percent. Well, I
can't believe you want to do that. Well, they're not
gonna pay it anyways, but the optics look great. And
if we're really serious about taxes, I mean, we can
all understand that the best way to figure this thing

(01:30:40):
out when it comes to taxes and who's getting away
with something and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
If you're that serious, Democrats, you had hundreds of.

Speaker 4 (01:30:48):
Chances to fix the tax codes and it didn't because
you benefit from it as well, You're gonna see a show.
Read the podcast chat Benson shown Chad.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (01:31:22):
I've been telling you guys, of all the stuff going on,
and there is a lot. What may affect you the
most out of everything isn't unless it's nuclear war going
to be India and Pakistan. Although that's a big deal,
it can't. Nuclear war changes everything.

Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
We all know that.

Speaker 4 (01:31:39):
On top of that, if you're a Catholic, you're excited
about the new Pope.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
Most people are not Catholics. But you know what will
affect you the most? Netflix making moves baby what.

Speaker 4 (01:31:53):
Yeah, they're changing stuff and as we as human beings know,
we don't like it when things change, we are uncomfortable
would change for.

Speaker 34 (01:32:01):
Netflix's three hundred million plus members. The streamer's homepage is
as familiar as that iconic tone, but now its classic
interface is getting an overhaul. What led you to this decision?
Because some people would say, why fix what's not broken?

Speaker 28 (01:32:18):
We thought, we really need a UI that'll make it
easier for our members to find the shows that they want.

Speaker 34 (01:32:24):
Netflix CEO Greg Peters gave us an exclusive peak at
the new features, like preview blurbs for each show and
personalized badges to guide your choices.

Speaker 28 (01:32:34):
You really care about awards, you might get an Emmy
Winner award.

Speaker 34 (01:32:38):
Here, badge, I've watched every season of Bridgerton, so hey,
here's an alert another season coming.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
That's right, Chad, that's silly.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
That's not yet.

Speaker 1 (01:32:46):
It is going to affect us.

Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
You ever turned off, like even a computer, you've ever
done an update on your computer and then everything or
your phone and everything's changed, like I've done with that.
It's not really changed, but it's changed enough that you're passed.
I can't find where's the camera? That's now This is
gonna happen with Netflix.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
He says.

Speaker 34 (01:33:00):
The search tool is also new, move from the left
side to the top. It's more sophisticated, using AI to
curate content just for you.

Speaker 28 (01:33:09):
You say, like, you know, I'd like something that's uplifting,
that's a period piece that involves these elements, and then
we can respond with titles that work for you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
In that moment. Peter says.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
Wow.

Speaker 34 (01:33:18):
The new interface will roll out over the next few weeks.
An upgrade of another popular feature, subtitles, just debuted, allowing
viewers to choose between captioning for dialogue with background sounds
or just dialogue alone. How often are your users activating
the subtitle feature?

Speaker 28 (01:33:36):
Yeah, maybe, Surprisingly, around half of the hours that are
viewed on Netflix are viewed with subtitles or with closed captioning.

Speaker 1 (01:33:44):
So it's why we invested in it a lot. I
like it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:51):
I like subtitles sometimes it's funny. We've just finished watching
the first six episodes of Mobland, so if you don't know, Mobland,
and that's the new time Hardy movie with Pierce Brosn
and Helen Mirren's great in it, and she's the worst
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
It's a great show.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
But my wife's always just like, yeah, it turned on
because you know you lived in England. I have no
idea what they're saying. I'm like, I get it. But
it does help, it does, and it's you know TV.
It's also weird with TVs because so many like they're
so thin in all these things.

Speaker 4 (01:34:22):
But the that's great, but now the sound comes out
of the back, so it's it's a bizarre world. So
Netflix is upgrading this and it is very interesting because
they're going to do the subtitles.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:34:38):
So the close capting subtitles, you can have it with
just a dialogue or the entire scene, which is weird
because if there's like a big action scene, it'll just
be them talking. Then you'll hear that as opposed to
everything else, because it can be distracted.

Speaker 34 (01:34:53):
In an economy where most streamers are struggling, Netflix revenue
is up thirteen percent, the company investing eighteen billion dollars
this year and new content funded in part by those
subscription price hikes that have left some consumers fuming.

Speaker 12 (01:35:08):
Netflix is really out here doing their customers dirty and.

Speaker 34 (01:35:12):
Just being greedy given the stress the economy is putting
on so many people, Are you comfortable holding prices where
they are now for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 28 (01:35:21):
Our job is to keep trying to work to make
the service better and then hear from members when that
right moment to make a price change would be.

Speaker 13 (01:35:29):
So we're not changing anything in that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
Regard, not changing anything at this moment in time.

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
They spent a ton of money because it's all about.

Speaker 4 (01:35:43):
New content, new ips, and now they got into the
live game.

Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
He says.

Speaker 34 (01:35:48):
Fans have a lot to look forward to in twenty
twenty five, like new seasons of Squid Gameshow Wednesday, I'll
Think of You and Stranger Things, and a bigger roster
of live content from sports and music to dating shows,
the data.

Speaker 18 (01:36:08):
Experiment we're finding love is totally love.

Speaker 34 (01:36:11):
And then also talk I hear of a singing competition show.

Speaker 28 (01:36:15):
You'll see a bunch of different things from us that
we think are well suited to the live event.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
So that might be those competition shows.

Speaker 28 (01:36:20):
Where like at the finale, you know, we're all waiting
to see who actually pulls it off?

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Is it be did I win that? I went?

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
No, you did not?

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
You know, Netflix were like, how much could we actually
do the live conclave?

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
What would that be? What would that be? Would that be?

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Is that expensive? Oh? You guys aren't going to allow
us to do this.

Speaker 1 (01:36:41):
We're talking about the pope.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
This is interesting though, about the money side of stuff.

Speaker 34 (01:36:47):
Despite all the success, Netflix has had its stumbles, technical
glitches during live events in raging audiences and viewer backlash
to hype shows like Megan Markles with Love Megan.

Speaker 30 (01:36:59):
Megan Markle has eaten Shack in the box and loves.

Speaker 1 (01:37:02):
Funny Too that you keep saying, Megan Markele, you know
I'm Sussex. Now. It's like really bad.

Speaker 17 (01:37:07):
I know that Netflix is just trying to recoup the
money with hate watching do you all.

Speaker 34 (01:37:11):
Pay attention to the way fans react on social media?

Speaker 28 (01:37:14):
Really, at the end of the day, we're looking at,
you know, what is the viewing behavior, because that's the
thing that matters the most. Are we satisfying viewers and
are they watching?

Speaker 34 (01:37:22):
As for those prices which Netflix as are holding steady
for now, half of its new subscribers sign up for
the cheaper plan with ads, and that actually makes more
revenue than the higher price no ad tier for the company.
So it's become a win win for both Netflix and subscribers.

Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
Look at that, it's a win win. Indeed, they like
it when you sign up for the cheap because they
make more money off of you.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:37:50):
And my wife and I were chatting about this last
night because the way that Mobland ended, I didn't know
how I didn't know how many episodes there are, so
right now there's only six, but they're going to roll
out four new episodes by June first, I think, which
I was excited about because the way it ended was
just I'm like this, this feels like I had a meal,

(01:38:13):
but I'm really hungry. And I said, the problem with
things like Netflix and the shows that all of us
fall in Love with is Yeah, that's great. I love
the show now, but in twenty six months when it
comes back, I won't care. The one thing about corporate
TV hated all you want, you know, compared to which

(01:38:36):
we don't hate it. But the you know, after Netflix
came along, it changed everything, and then all of the
streaming services and you know these people, we got to
see people say bad words and you know, some other
stuff a little bit more adultish nature. No I'm not
talking about porn, but you understand. But it was the consistency,

(01:38:58):
like a cliffhanger meant, all right, we'll be back in
you know, January, and it's September, okay, not will be
like stranger things like Millie Bobby Brown is a grown
ass woman. It's like it takes forever. And I get

(01:39:23):
that there's you know, these people love doing these things
so well, it's only six episodes or eight episodes.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Yeah, but what if you love the show?

Speaker 4 (01:39:31):
And that's one of the things that I know that
they've talked about on more than a few occasions is
the frustration that some fans have, like if a show
ends on you know, let's say it drops June first,
and then all the episodes are out by say July fourth, Well,

(01:39:54):
you've binged it. And that's partly our fault too, because
we consume it so fast. But even if you did
it over three months and it finishes in you know,
say September of last year, and then you find out,
oh yeah, there's gonna be season two, but they're not
gonna start shooting it till February March of twenty twenty six.

(01:40:16):
I've lost my want to see it because by the
time it rolls around, I've moved on to twenty eight
other things and squid games.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:40:25):
The popularity was massive, so they realize, okay, we need
to cash in on this, so they film simultaneously season
two and three together so they can roll them out
and not have to wait eighteen or twenty four months
or whatever. You know, a TV show you like it
shouldn't be like the Olympics, where you get it once
every four years three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,

(01:40:46):
twenty three. At you, i'd been said shoehe tweeter tweet

Speaker 1 (01:42:33):
Running with scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 2 (01:42:37):
It is that time of the program where we bring
you one of the things that's well we enjoy doing,
but not always and everybody thinks.

Speaker 1 (01:42:48):
Because I.

Speaker 4 (01:42:50):
Am a fan of nature and how nature can be
crazy and wacky, I'm not always thrilled that people die.
I just want let you guys that now, sometimes you
do it to yourself. I think we can all admit
that there are times in life when people put themselves
in horrific situations, and then there's times in life when
nature just does what nature does.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
You know what time it is? Nature, We miss you.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
Up because it will.

Speaker 23 (01:43:18):
An urgent warning from Yellowstone National Park after a visitor
was gored by a bison this week. The forty seven
year old man who was visiting from Florida suffered only
minor injuries.

Speaker 2 (01:43:31):
Yeah, it's that time of year where people want to
get next to ginormous critters that can kill you.

Speaker 4 (01:43:43):
First of all, if you've never seen a bison up close,
let me tell you something.

Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
They're huge. They're also not pets, and they don't know
that you are really trying to, I don't know, up
your game on the gram, So don't get too close
to them.

Speaker 23 (01:44:02):
It's not the first time tours have gotten into close
calls with bison. A Yellowstone, Oh my god. In twenty
twenty three, this woman falling to the ground after trying
to touch a wild bison. Bison attacks can cause serious injuries.

Speaker 4 (01:44:19):
Just that's the part of nature where you go, I
don't feel sorry for you. I don't. If you want
to touch an animal that's wild, you will pay the
price for it. And then there's just sometimes in life
when nature does something and there is nothing you can
do about it.

Speaker 8 (01:44:39):
Also breaking tonight in Polk County, an investigation is underway
right now after an alligator attack in Lake Kassimi State Park.
F WC says two people were canoeing when a woman
was attacked in ten Tampa Bay's Chrishurst is in Lake
Wales tonight. Chris, these attacks that they're unusual, but it
is gator mating season right now.

Speaker 15 (01:44:57):
Yeah, Courtney. FBC couldn't say whether that actually contributed to
this attack, but it comes just three months after another
woman was bitten by a gator near the boat ramp
at Lake Kassemi State Park.

Speaker 2 (01:45:10):
It's Florida.

Speaker 4 (01:45:11):
Wherever there is water, even if it's a puddle like
somebody watered the front yard and there's a puddle on
the sidewalk, just assume there's.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
A gator in it. Gator grabs her out of the canoe.

Speaker 18 (01:45:25):
He tried to fight the gator off.

Speaker 1 (01:45:27):
Just after four this afternoon, the call came.

Speaker 35 (01:45:30):
At the mouth of Tiger Creek on Lake Kassemi.

Speaker 15 (01:45:32):
A woman attacked and dragged underwater by an alligator while
on the water with a male companion.

Speaker 35 (01:45:38):
Polk County Sheriff's Office helicopter responded along with FWC officers
by vessel. The helicopter spotted the victim floating in the water,
and FWC officers recovered her from the water, where she
was pronounced deceased.

Speaker 15 (01:45:51):
Little was confirmed tonight about the attack. We don't know
the names of the couple and it's not clear why
it might have happened.

Speaker 35 (01:45:58):
FWC officers will work with our biologists that determine the
factors that led up to this incident, and the medical
examiner will ultimately decide the final cause of death.

Speaker 4 (01:46:08):
Well, it's gator probably drowning or most likely drowning, tour
up pretty good and then drowned her.

Speaker 1 (01:46:18):
Mating season.

Speaker 15 (01:46:19):
As one gator looked on, gunshots could be heard in
the distance. While investigators say the search continues for the
one that killed the woman.

Speaker 35 (01:46:29):
We currently have statewide nuisance alligator trappers out there searching
for the alligator involved in this incident.

Speaker 15 (01:46:35):
Similar to what happened in March when a kayaker was
bitten the arm at nearly the same spot. Gators killed
get sent to f WC to see if any human
tissue or clothing is in its stomach.

Speaker 35 (01:46:46):
That will be part of our investigation as well. Once
that alligator is recovered.

Speaker 4 (01:46:52):
They attack well, first of all, gators and crocodiles they
your food. They don't care, they're not bothered.

Speaker 1 (01:46:58):
They will eat you.

Speaker 4 (01:46:58):
Polar bears in some animal will do that, but then
other animals like the bears and whatnot, the mating season
and cubs and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:47:05):
Those things are also a part of it now.

Speaker 15 (01:47:08):
FWC plans to update it's tomorrow morning at a press conference. Meantime,
it says to always be mindful and keep your distance
from an alligator. If you see it, and if you
think it could be a danger to someone, you're asked
to call the Alligator Hotline at eight six six FWC.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
Gator So.

Speaker 4 (01:47:28):
Difference between nature. You tried to pet something, or you
got within distance of something, you do not to get
in distance of. And in Florida, these people were canoeing
it and from what I understand, it looks like that
the alligator was about eleven feet long, swam underneath and
flip their canoe over and then took her. It's nature

(01:47:56):
and another weird thing.

Speaker 2 (01:47:57):
I just I don't know why anybody would do any
of those canoe things in Florida. I just don't. Don't
do it. Just didn't tell you, guys, Sorry, should we
do this? No, No, you shouldn't. I've never understood that.

Speaker 4 (01:48:12):
I went out with my buddy Jay back in the
day when I was a reptile guy, and you can
see Jay pre historic pats he's all over the YouTube
if you will. And his daughter who you see on
some of those things. She was in my canoe and
she couldn't have been more than three or four. And
this guy, Jeff and Jay were in another canoe and
we it was terrifying in some of these areas, and

(01:48:34):
you're in these little canoes that you get at like Disneyland,
and I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:48:38):
Like, who thinks this is a good idea?

Speaker 4 (01:48:42):
