Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We've got an American Pope. Sounds like something you see
on Netflix tonight on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
American Pope suplices ergote domine de pre camour mora quivi
sakrande de tulimus he or them spirit to sanctificard diners.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I have no idea what he was saying there. It's
in Latin. It is in Latin. But alas it took
a few minutes before the controversial pope. Now now it's controversial.
Of course, became the controversial pope because before he was
the cardinal, nobody really knew. And now it's contra VERSI

(01:01):
MSNBC already making it political.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Toplio the fourteenth.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
There's a voice on many of the issues we cover
on this network and on this program day in and
day out.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Here's what we know.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
On his social media account, he reposted criticism of JD.
Vance's interpretation of the Gospel. He also retweeted a post
of an op ed that was critical of Donald Trump's
deportation policies, an opped that read, in part quote, is
your conscience not disturbed?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
How can you stay quiet?

Speaker 5 (01:28):
As Pope Le of the fourteenth will confront challenges facing
the church, like the inclusion of LGBTQ plus Catholics, the
role of women in the church, and Catholicism's growth in
Asia and Africa.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Wow, just super excited over there. And then of course
the other right leaning folks online influences have already come out.
He's the antique Christ, He's all of the things. I'm like, dude,
he's been there for like two minutes. I uh. I

(02:01):
talked a bit about it yesterday, even last night. I
was like, man, they did not allow this thing to
get anywhere, to start anywhere, to even hear who he is,
what is he about? Before it all became politics. I
was explaining to somebody yesterday about this. One of the

(02:23):
guys I work with, Chris hann great talk show, It's fun.
Chris and I were chatting. By the way, he came
up with a great name for him, said he should
have been Pope John Wayne. I thought that's nice, that
was a good smart because American, you know, Joe Wayne.
But as we were chatting about this, he brought up

(02:45):
the culture Wars and I said, dude, you know, because
he's like, well, you know, Pope Francis really wasn't that popular.
I said, dude, I don't think you realize how popular
he was. I said, we look at it through our
you know, myopic just kind of look, it's America and
the culture wars and stuff like that for people around

(03:07):
the globe who don't have because I for those of
you guys don't know, culture wars are a first world problem.
They're a wealthy people's problem. When you're worried about your
next meal, when you're worried about life, you're not even

(03:28):
worried about whether or not you can pay your your electricity.
You're worried about are you even going to have electricity?
Or is nobody gonna have electricity? When you're worried about
clean water and things of that nature, culture wars doesn't exist.
That's an US thing because we've gotten to the point

(03:50):
now where you turn everything into a battle of culture.
And yes, for the church, there are roles they're trying
to expand they're trying to do all of these things.
But it is it's amazing how fast something like this
can just on a dime change. But yeah, MSNBC all day,

(04:14):
just sit there and I'm like, really, my god, do
you know how many people told me yesterday you know
why they picked him. I'm like, no, tell me why
they picked him because he's anti Maga. I'm like, that's it.
They sat around and they're like, you know, who's the
guy that's the most antime mega guy here? Who is it? Oh,

(04:38):
it's this guy, Bob Roberts, Rob whatever they call him.
Speaking of that, his brothers yesterday were quite popular with
the media. He said, you spoke to him right before conclict.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Tell me what that conversation is, Like, really, first we
do wordle because this is a regular thing, okay. Then
we do words with friends. It's something to keep his
mind off life in the real world. And then we
talk about what's going on. And I said, well, do
you have your red sox that'sn't gold well all the time?

(05:13):
And then just that kind of stuff. And I said, well,
are you're ready for this? I said, did you watch
the movie Conclave so you know how to behave? And
he had just finished watching the movie Conculate, so he
knew how to behave. So it's that kind of stuff
because I wanted to take his mind off of it,
you know, laugh about something.

Speaker 7 (05:33):
Because this is now an awesome responsibility.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
An awesome responsibility. It is his other brother also was
talking about how he found out that his brother and
their entire world, but his brother's world has changed, like
you couldn't believe.

Speaker 8 (05:57):
I was lying in bed. My wife called and said,
white quite smoke. So I turned the TV on watched
the whites Man. It took him almost an hour till
late and when the cardinal came out and we're all
waiting and he goes and he mentioned Roberto. I knew
right away, and I just it's like if I had
not been in bed standing up, I might have collapsed,
because it's like totally unexpected.

Speaker 9 (06:19):
You know.

Speaker 8 (06:20):
It's like they said the first American pope, that was
a strike against him. He's young, two strikes, but he's
got a lot of worldwide experience and his previous poets.
So when we were little kids, we used to I
used to raise cane to my two younger brothers all
the time, but he was always the holy one and

(06:41):
I as we used to tease him, you're going to
beat pope someday. You're too holy. What do you want
to do? And you know, joking ribbon And when he
went into the seminary, it's like, oh wow, okay, and
then a couple of years ago when the Pope made
him a cardinal. It's like, this could happen, we told him.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
And it has. It has happened. We got an American pope.
It's nice to note at sixty nine, you're still considered young. Uh.
And for those who are not keeping score. There was
a lot of debate too about the other big controversity.
Yesterday they came out about this pope Cups or white Sox.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Yeah, he was never ever a Cupstan, so I don't
know where that came from. He was always a Sox fan.
Our mother was a cupstand I know, maybe that clue
in there. And our dad was a Cardinals fan, So
I don't know where that all came from. And all
the ants. Our mom's family was from your side, so
that's the way they were Cubs fans. But that's right.

(07:40):
But where it came from, I don't know, because he
would have been the only one.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
That was a real controversy in Chicago is a Cubs
fan or is he a White Sox because the Cubs
had put something up on Wrigley Field about him being
a Cubs fan, and his family's like, no, no, no,
he's not a Cubs fans. He's a white Sox fan.
That's controversy. It's a kind of controversy I think the
pope wants and you know, I was again, it's got

(08:04):
to be overwhelming. I mean, think about this for a second,
to take a step back. Yesterday morning, nobody outside of
a small group of people knew who this guy was.
Think about this nobody did within hours. He is one

(08:26):
of the most known people on the planet. That has
got to be absolutely overwhelming. And I was watching him,
and you know, he looked natural. But also I mean
I was saying to myself, do you let yourself soak

(08:46):
it in? Do you enjoy the moment? Are you allowed
to enjoy the moment? I don't know, So let the
controversy begin. People. Welcome to the world we live in. Trump,
what do you think of about that? A pope?

Speaker 10 (09:01):
I have the pope from the United States of America.

Speaker 11 (09:05):
That's a great honor. That's a great honor.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's a great honor. I called, I said, hey, we
need a pope from America, and they did just so
insane though, listening to people fight over this three two, three, five,
three eight twenty four twenty three at ched Benson Show.

Somebody said posting is one thing is it's not posting.

(09:30):
You repost, but you don't post at someone unless you're
playing basketball. I'm posting up. I guess would it be
the way that worked? You think Trump was thinking if
only they would have waited to day because I got
a big deal done with the whole thing with the UK.

Speaker 12 (09:45):
This morning, I'm thrilled to announce that we've reached a
breakthrough trade deal with the United Kingdom. It's a very
special day because it's Victory Day World War two, May eight.
It's just incredible that that day here's the same day
that we signed a tremendous trade deal for both countries.

Speaker 13 (10:03):
With this deal, the.

Speaker 10 (10:04):
UK joins the United States and affirming that reciprocity fairness
is an essential and vital principle of international trade between
our two countries.

Speaker 11 (10:14):
Will soon be stronger than ever.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Before, stronger than ever never been, stronger, the greatest of all.
I don't know what it looks like, actually, because it's
not actually done yet, so we'll find that out soon
what it actually looks like. What I do know is
the American carmakers aren't thrilled because there's apparently a carve

(10:37):
out for British luxury vehicles which has already angered them.
And the ten percent tariff is going to stay in effect.
So and we had a trade somewhat of a trade surplus,

their reign of tyranny is over.

Speaker 20 (14:12):
So the patriarchy decided to make gus being a bad

Speaker 8 (14:17):

Speaker 9 (15:16):

Speaker 23 (15:21):

one from the United States. He went to college at Villanova,
studied mathematics.

Speaker 23 (15:51):
Italian media has referred to him as the least American
of the Americans because of his quiet.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Humble way. Let us pray to Christ for this mission
on Earth. Hey, that pope speaks English. He's an American.
Why is not doing stuff an American? Yes, he is
an American, for darned touton sure. The first boat from America.

(16:22):
Pretty cool? Pretty cool? Indeed, Man so much crazy stuff
happened this week, and not a lot of Trump in there.
Not a lot of Trump because there was a lot
of other stuff going on. And then of course the
eyes of the world were on the Vatican, and then
of course India and Pakistan decided that they were going

(16:45):
to have a kerfuffle hand bags at twenty paces. We'll
see how that goes. It's a little bit quieter, as
you know, the world kind of moved its eyes back
over to the Vatican. But that's still there. Wonder how

(17:05):
the Pope's gonna handle it. This is gonna be interesting.
Is he gonna get involved in some of this stuff?
It's funny too yesterday listening to his brother's talk about it.
Well we've we've touched on a little bit of it,
but one of the things they talk about, you know,
he's young, sixty nine.

Speaker 11 (17:18):
Wow.

Son Chad Benson Joe, the Chad Benson Show. White People's

(18:04):
not a real thing. White People's made up.

Speaker 25 (18:06):
There was a time when the Polish weren't white, when
the Italians weren't white, when the Jews weren't white, when
the Irish weren't white. There used to be signs that
said no Irish, no Blacks, no dogs, no dogs.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Do you know what that means?

Speaker 25 (18:24):
Cats are white people? And of course they are, and
of course they are selfish and pretend they don't need you.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
We can use a little humor. It's funny. Santa Claus
brought a cat for my daughter and he is the
coolest thing ever, I mean, the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 11 (18:54):
And you know me.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
I got the reptiles, I got all the stuff. You
guys know me if you listen to the show. And yes,
he and I are like best buds. And it is hilarious.
And I've never seen a cat play fetch like this cat,
very hairties everywhere in the house, right under the rugs.
Likes to put him in the water bowl.

Speaker 22 (19:15):
He's just such.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
He's awesome. He is awesome. Life is expensive, you guys
know that. And this dad took his family to Disney.
Now he lives in Florida, and we'll get to that
in a second. But he decided I'm going to put
this out there for the world to see the expense

(19:38):
of stuff, like, oh boy, Disney, A.

Speaker 26 (19:42):
Florida father is going viral after showing just how costly
a day trip to Disney World has become.

Speaker 15 (19:48):
Before we even got into the park, it cost me
thirty dollars just for parking, and even being a Florida resident,
tickets for a family of five with one child under
ten with still nine hundred and seventy four dollars.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
That is insane. Oh it's more than that, all right.

Speaker 26 (20:04):
You posted this video. You have more than eight million
people who have watched it. Are you surprised? And why
did you decide to do this?

Speaker 27 (20:10):
I kind of had a feeling it would go viral.
It's very relatable, it's family friendly. Disney's always a hot topic,
and we're all trying to pinch pennies. So that video
was probably my therapy as I was going through the day.
The kids were smiling, sometimes fighting in between the lines.
My wife was having a grand all time. Meanwhile, mine
was just swiped the card over and over and over,

(20:30):
and it started with the ticket purchase and then it
ran right into the parking and then it just was
like a cash cown for the rest of the day.
So I kind of had an idea that people would
be able to relate to it, just maybe not so much.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
How could you not relate to it? Now, I've not
taken the kids to Disney yet. We've done that. It's
very farm but we've not gone to Disney even when
we lived in Arizona because I wanted Charlie. I think
there's an age where you go where it's too young
for them to really get the full bump of what
Disney is. But the expense I understand. But when you

(21:12):
think about this, and we talk about this all the time,
how expensive life is, and when you think about that,
this is insane. This is a day. This guy went
there for a day. And part of the frustration I

(21:33):
think for a lot of people who go to Disney,
if you're local, you spend a lot of money and
you don't get to do everything unless you spend even
more money.

Speaker 26 (21:48):
Yeah, Kendall, your daddy had to work so hard. I
know he's a small business owner to send your whole
family to Disney.

Speaker 9 (21:53):
Was it worth it?

Speaker 28 (21:54):
Yeah, say it's worth it, But it was so packtious
to be there for one day for all that money
you spent.

Speaker 26 (21:59):
Yeah, and Dad, you tried to get the lightning passes
so that you could get maybe to the front of
the line for would you say, three rides, but those
were too expensive, so y'all opted out of doing that.
So you had to wait in the long lines too.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Trying to put a price tag versus value. What's it worth?

Speaker 27 (22:13):
The lines were so long, so we're already a thousand
deep into the park.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Now we're going to drop.

Speaker 27 (22:18):
Another four hundred to get lightning passes. So if I
don't want to say it this way, but if you
do the average of cost per ride, it probably isn't
really worth it. So we almost wanted to do the
lightning passes, but multiply times five, that day would have
been doubled the price.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, that's a little too much, I think for most people.
Twenty five hundred bucks. And I look, I'm very fortunate
as a young kid growing up in southern California, I
mean privileged, even though we didn't have a lot of money.
But I was also very blessed because you got to

(22:54):
do a lot of things. And one of those things was,
you know, back when I was growing up, my grandmother
used to take my uncle and I to Disney every
other Friday and we would go to Disney. And this
was back and this is how long this was. We
were chatting about this the other day. This is dating ourselves.
It's back when they had the coupon book, and the
coupon book or the ride book was Disney wasn't expensive

(23:16):
to get into because you had to buy you know,
that's where the E ticket came from. So you'd buy
this book and it had stuff in there. Well, an
E ticket ride would be Space Mountain, and then if
you wanted to go in a tea cup, that would
be a different one that you know, and you'd have
more of those than the E ticket, so it wasn't
as crazy expensive. And then when I got to the

(23:37):
teenage ears, Disney had a pass that was for the
summer just after five o'clock, so it started in like Maine,
went all the way through September. So if you went
to Disney at five, which is when you wanted to
go there, because it wasn't as hot, it was less crowded,
and being a local, we would go there honestly six
nights a week. Friends and I. So you know, I've

(24:02):
been very Blessed've probably been to Disney. We were talking
the other day, maybe a thousand times, and then included
some stuff I did for Radio Disney which was inside
the parking time for them to Florida. But I've probably
near about a thousand times. But because it was somewhat affordable,
think it was like ninety nine bucks for their nighttime
pass and people say, how well, I mean, you know

(24:26):
you think about we would go there was it was crazy.
I remember there was a time where I probably went
to Disney one hundred days in a row, give or take,
because it was so close to my house and it
was just like the parking was nothing. Some my buddy
Dave and I and Rey Ray we'd all head over

(24:48):
there because you go pick up chicks and they had
the big dance club there when you're a teenager, and
it was like, you know, it kind of kept you
out of trouble. You'd ride one or two rides because
you'd ridden them all by then a thousand times, and
it wasn't as crazy it is now. I'm in a
Disney in years because I sit there and think that's
too damn expensive. But now the kids are like at

(25:09):
the age where they do want to go. And again
I'm very blessed, and there's because of stuff I've done
in the past, I've got opportunities to get in. But
it's nuts. Some of you probably thinking there was a
time that there was e ride tickets. Oh yeah, yeah,
I know.

Speaker 26 (25:26):
And when we do all these stories on people who
can't afford their groceries and or gasoline, or at least
that was under the last administration. It's gotten a little
bit better, but when you hear those kinds of stories,
it's sad that the most families can't afford.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
To do Disney right.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
And that was the last minute decision with Florida residents.

Speaker 27 (25:44):
We decided with some family in town that they wanted
to go on vacation to Disney, so we went with them.
So it wasn't even a planned trip. And unfortunately, I
don't think those day trippers are what Disney wants. They
want you to never leave the park, they want you
there for five days, and they want you to drop
ten grand. So I think that one day I'm actually
being punished for it.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, because they'd rather you buy a pass. That's the
other thing. In southern California and Florida and stuff, a
lot of residents will buy passes. And that's why it's
it's a zoo at Disney. And it takes three four
hours to stand in line to see, you know, to
get on a ride. And they do want you. They

(26:26):
want those people that come will spend five days there
and which you're saying five, Yeah, that's what they want.
I'll tell you guys this. I'm gonna give you, guys
a quick little snapshot of what to do. Take your
family to Paris. Spend less money and go to euro

(26:47):
Disney and you'll ride more rides and it'll probably cost
the same and you can do other things. Mm hmmmmm.
I'm telling you not trying to. And I love Disney.
You know. I grew up not too far from the park.

(27:08):
I grew up close enough that I could see both
Nottsberry Farm and Disney Fireworks. That's that's the kind of
area that I lived in when I was you know,
when I was a little bit older, you know, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen.
That's that's kind of where I grew up. So I'm
telling you guys, go to your own Disney. It's just cheaper.

(27:50):
ray Con best here buds arounds Mother's Day this weekend,
Father's Day not too far away. What does that mean? Well,
Dad's going to want something too. What are you going
to get Dad? How about this? The every day earbuds
from Raycon. The fit, the field, the comfort second to none.
You're gonna love these for Dad. Great color choice, it's
been on top of that. Raycon's got everything you can

(28:11):
imagine when it comes to the best of the best
in audio. But the everyday earbuds, as we know and
we talk about all the time, eight hours talk time,
thirty two hours of battery life. Not only the fit
in the field, but think about the active noise cancelation.
They've got several different sound modes you can choose from.
And for me, besides the fit and the feel and

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Factory and I can't get out the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 16 (29:29):
What is an adult problem that nobody prepared you for
having to figure out what I'm having for dinner for
the rest of my life. Also, your car and your
appliances will get the bed the second you have any
money saved. That my knees in my back are gonna
hurt every time it rains, accidentally ruining your entire week
because you stayed up past eleven pm on a Tuesday,

(29:51):
the price of paper towel.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Can we all relate? Like there's things out there? You're like,
this is not what I thought this was going to be.
It's not I thought adulting was going to be easier
and funnier, and the whole thing about what I'm going
to have for dinner. And then when you get married,
if you get married, because as we know, people don't
get married, but if you do, now you got two

(30:17):
people that are trying to figure it out. Then if
you do have kids, Now you're trying to figure out
exactly what's something I can make that's big enough for everybody,
but they'll also all eat Oh my gag done.

Speaker 16 (30:33):
I wouldn't call it a problem, but being excited to
cancel plans, waking up injured after doing nothing you just
slept wrong, having to recover after extensive socializing, spending eight
ninety nine on a head of lettuce just to have
a die in the fridge, Trying to figure out if
you're just depressed or dehydrated, having your entire body crack

(30:54):
like a glow stick just because you stood up, the
absolute betrayal of a hangover lasting two business every new
pain you feel in your body turns into a game
of temporary or permanent.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
So yesterday I did this on my local show, and
it was hilarious because people started texting in about oh yeah,
one time I sneezed and my back went out for
three days. One guy, I sneezed and I broke a rib.
Oh I took a nap once. I couldn't feel my
arm for three days. Yeah, that sucks. Getting old is

(31:36):
not for the week. You know, I remember that old saying.
That's true, Getting old is not for the week. Many
of you probably going, oh, I've had that issue paper towels. Yeah,
who would have thought that? What to eat the lettuce.
I'm always laughing about the head of lettuce because everybody's
got lettuce that they've left inside the little you know,

(32:00):
fruits and vegetables drawer inside the refrigerator, and you look
down and you didn't eat any of it, and it's
now kind of soupy in certain areas and slimy, and
then you got to take everything out and clean it
all up. Or you buy fruit. You're like, I'm gonna
eat all this fruit, and then you don't. You don't
even come close. You eat like one one orange and

(32:23):
then that's it. Then you know anything else again, they
just sit there. Last night, we're talking about this and
I walk by and we've got a bowl of fruit
and all these oranges are in there and they're just
like kind of dead, and I just used them to juggle.
That's as close as I got to eat any of that.
Aw And taking food home, we're talking about that as well.

(32:46):
I mean that's another thing, you know, like when you
get older, you're like, yeah, I'll take the leftovers home
because I'd like to throw them away at my house.
Oh my god, this me. That is insane. That is
who we are people. That is who we are. What's
not insane is we got a pope that's American. Pretty

(33:10):
interesting to say the least, watching people celebrate and then
on the other side, watching the amount of people that
are going after the pope already. Wait what oh yeah.

(33:31):
So if you go on Twitter, and by the way,
remember Twitter X whatever you wanna call it, you could
say good morning, have a wonderful day, and then somebody's
going to basically tell you you're you know, it's easy
for you say you're white, you're pos and all that stuff.
So I mean, somebody's gonna inevitably fire off something horrible

(33:52):
that will lead to somebody else saying something and the
next thing, you know, it's a battle of politics and Trump,
which is frustrating as we can be welcome to the
world we live in now, but if you go online,
so like, he wasn't he was like by the time
he was announced, and then everybody was waiting for everything
to happen, you know, for him to come out. In

(34:13):
the whole nine yards already there was crazy looney stuff
about how bad he is, how he is the worst
of the worst, how this is another guy that is
going to destroy Western culture.

Speaker 9 (34:34):
It is.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
I sit there and I laugh. I'm like, man, this
guy wasn't even he wasn't even in there for two
minutes before it was oh yeah some of the stuff
that he retweeted, and then like end Wokeness and all
of these groups have putting stuff up, and I was,

(34:56):
I was, I'm fascinated by that. Well, yeah, this guy's
here to destroy man. God, he's the Antichrist. He's this
he's that he retreated Roco Palmo saying Trump's bad ombres
line fuels racism and nativism. Calie bishops send preemptive blast

(35:17):
on DACA repeal. That was September fourth, twenty seventeen, and
the next thing you know, this guy, he's anti Maga. Hey, Pope,
Welcome to the world of cultural Battles three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
ch your instant and everything else. Love hearing from all
of you right here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming

(35:41):
up our number two of the program. A lot of
stuff still to get to, including more on the Pope.
We've also got some trade stuff to talk about. We
got the Reel of Surprise as well. A lot of
stories we couldn't get to or didn't have a chance
to get to this week. Then we're going to make
sure we try to get to as well. You can

(36:01):
check us out across all of our social media. We
got some of your text messages coming up, some immigration
stuff as well in our number two. Man, even though
this week feels like there's been a lot, you just
never know what's going to happen. If you miss any
of the show, check out all of our great stuff
across all of our social media. We appreciate it when
you do that. This is the Chad Benson Chat.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
For whatever reason, Joe Biden is out and about talking.
He was on the View yesterday.

Speaker 28 (37:00):
Since you left office, there have been a number of
books that have come out, deeply sourced from democratic sources,
that claim in your final year there was a dramatic
decline in your cognitive abilities. What is your response to
these allegations or are these sources wrong?

Speaker 11 (37:15):
They are wrong.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Nothing to sustain that number one. Number two. You know,
think of what we were left for.

Speaker 29 (37:22):
We left for the circumstance where we had an insurrection, nonsensus,
civil war. We had a circumstance where we were in
a position that we were a pandemic because of the
incomponents of the last outfit, end up over a million
people dying.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Wow, let's break down the numbers.

Speaker 11 (37:41):
We like doing that.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Trump was in office, obviously four hundred thousand people died,
but Operation War of Speed he got the vaccine. Biden
in office, eight hundred thousand people died. So there's that.
You'll put that out there with those of you not
keeping score, because if you're going to keep score, at

(38:04):
least give the actual score continue, and so we went
to work and we got it done.

Speaker 29 (38:09):
And you know, one of the things that that well, I'm.

Speaker 30 (38:13):
Ting well and listen, you know, one of the things
I think is that the people who wrote those books
were not in the White House with us, and they
didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day. I
mean he'd get up, he put in a full day,
and then at night he would I'd be in bed,

(38:33):
you know, reading my book, and he was still on
the phone reading his briefings. And Joe worked really hard.
I think he was a great president.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Unfortunately bedtime was six pm. Oh, Chad, again there, let's
don't lie to us. Okay, don't lie to us. You're
still out there pushing the story that you were totally fine,
everything was great. Right, I could have won. It's no,

(39:03):
I should have won, right, I could have easily won.

Speaker 28 (39:07):
But do you take any responsibility for not hearing the
concerns of voters on the border security or cost of
living sooner? And do you take any responsibility for Trump's reelection?

Speaker 11 (39:16):
Yes?

Speaker 29 (39:17):
I do, because look I was in charge. Any won,
so you know, I take responsibility.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
But that's as far as it goes. That's it. Why
didn't Kamala win? You know, Oh my, there's a lot
of reasons she didn't win. She was awful. I mean
that's a pretty big reason why she didn't win. I'm
not trying to be, you know, a flame thrower here,

(39:43):
but I don't know if you're aware of this. She
wasn't good at stuff, is what I'm saying. But Chat,
it's probably because of sexism. And to raise.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Sum why do you think the vice president lost?

Speaker 4 (40:00):
And were you surprised?

Speaker 29 (40:02):
I wasn't surprised, Not because I didn't think the vice
president must qualified person to be president. She is, she's
qualified to be president of United States of America. Well,
I was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went the
root of the sexist of the whole route. I mean,
this is a woman, she's this, she's a I mean really,

(40:22):
I've never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign
undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country,
and a woman of mixed race.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Not none of that was real, not none of that.
She wasn't good. It's that simple. It's not about race,
it's not about her being assigned female at birth. Make

(40:56):
them feel good? You weren't good at this. You guys
still haven't listened. You're blaming Trump still for all the
COVID deaths. The rest of the world lost people too.
And by the way, this week, as we pointed out
to many, how much of the insanity came around their
decision making in COVID, which was all based not in

(41:21):
science but in politics. As we talked about, especially with kids,
you still don't take responsibility for what took place in Afghanistan,
what took place after Afghanistan. By the way, you guys.

Speaker 31 (41:44):
Forget we thought we got one of the guys that
planned it. We killed a dude who went out for milk,
who had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Duobes. You still haven't taken responsibility for inflation. And yes,
the rest of the world suffered with inflation too. It
wasn't just us, but you took no real responsibility. You

(42:16):
kept telling everybody, Ah, it's transitory, everything's great. And then
the one where you blew smoke in ways that was
even bigger than the smoke that was blown out of
a sixteen Jembel. Yesterday you told everybody the border secure,

(42:40):
everything is fine. I need Congress to stop people from
coming here by passing a bill so that border can
be secure. And God knows, I can't do it without
Congress's help. It just can't be done. It's impossible. And
yet it was Trump got here because you ushered in

(43:04):
the borders being wide open. You did, You did the Democrats,
and you've learned nothing. And it's a big fe I
remind everybody. The big fe to the Democrat Party from

(43:29):
Joe Biden was going out and endorsing her, which is
what they didn't want. And now they're pissed that he's
out there doing stuff again, which is hilarious.

Speaker 11 (43:47):
That he did.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
He went out and that to this day. You know,
you can talk about the books, all that stuff's coming out.
We're going to find out when that book is written
by somebody you know in the no Jill that yeah,
that was part of their plan. Okay, if you guys
want me gone, if you want to kick us out,
if you want to do all these things, well let
me show you what I'm gonna do. Because he knew
anybody attached to this administration well screwed. He knew that.

(44:14):
They knew that, and they did that on purpose. Meanwhile,
we've got a pope an American pope. American pope, Yeah,
how cool is that? I think it's kind of cool.
Look I'm not Catholic, but I recognize how cool it is.

(44:40):
I recognize what's going on. How can you not that
me the coolest thing around. We've got an American pope.
It's watching flipping around today and seeing a bunch of
stuff in even MSNBC's like, it's really cool and weird
to see an American pope, to see a pope speaking English,

(45:00):
because they all, for the most part, speak English. They
speak a lot of languages, but with no accent. They
would call that neutral Midwestern neutral accent.

Speaker 22 (45:14):
Need not just with me, but with all of us,
my brother cardinals, as we celebrate this morning, I invite
you to recognize the marvels that the Lord has done,
the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Upon all of us. Right, and he speaks Latin, which
of course is a phenomenal, phenomenal language. It's a hard language,
but you get the foundation the Latin. You can't speak
all the Latinish languages.

Speaker 32 (45:42):
I think it's beginning to sync in more and more
the joyful shock that we received yesterday, that not only
that we had a pope, but also the first American pope, the.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
First American pope, and of course yesterday the controversy about
the first American pope online, which is he's anti MAGA,
that was spectacular. I'm like, what how do you get there?
I guess if you're you know, that's what you do, right,

(46:17):
This is your goal to get to this point, which
is to show you how evil he is and all
that stuff. And then the left is trying to figure
out how they can run it out there and say, look,
this guy's super pro left leaning and he's also anti MAGA.
H wait, what here's fox.

Speaker 18 (46:35):
Big Leo will be, as he mentioned in his speech today,
a bridge builder, one hopes. I mean, when you look
at his Twitter feed, you know he was for open
borders in the United States and kind of took pot
shots at jd Vance and the Trump administration. But look,
old popes are going to support migrants, support the poor,
support peace.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
That is, their heart goes.

Speaker 18 (46:55):
Out to humanity. That's with the job. I know Jesus
would do the same. I don't know if he'd get
so political.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, well, if you don't think that they get political
by nature, that job's going to come with a little politics.
First of all, getting the job probably comes with some politics. Secondly,
I think he's gonna be fine. Again, I'm not Catholic,
and it's still neat that this has happened. But that

(47:23):
being said, you know you're going to read into it
whatever you want. I mean from this, you know he's
the anti christ To, he's anti maga To. Carrying the
name Leo is great for people who are part of
the conservative side of the church because this guy upholds doctrine.

(47:44):
I mean, you're going to find what you want, because
that's the world we live in. If you're looking for it,
and you look hard enough, and you turn it sideways
and you squint your eyes, you'll find what you're looking for.
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty three.
Actually had Benson show XR YouTube all the other good

(48:06):

Chad Roughgreens dot com slash Chadroughgreens dot com slash Chad

(49:33):
A lot of stuff to get to this hour.

Speaker 14 (49:34):
Including the wheel of Surprise. It's a Chad Benson, Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Is this the first of many trade deals that this
country and this president will get done?

Speaker 33 (49:56):
The White House says that this is about a five
billion dollar opportunity for exports from the United States for farmers, ranchers,
and producers. So we will now be able to sell
more things in the United Kingdom. They're going to open
up their markets.

Speaker 11 (50:12):
Great. I like that.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
What's in it, donut?

Speaker 33 (50:15):
It depends on which moment you were asking the President
a question yesterday in the Oval Office. At one point
he said the final details are going to be written up.
He said, we will have it all as a conclusive deal.
He later though, said it was already a conclusive deal
and that it can grow even beyond what was agreed to.

(50:36):
But then he said it was a maxed out deal,
which seemed to imply that this was as good it
was as it was going to get between the United
States and the United Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I have no idea. I don't think anybody does on
what's real and what's not real when it comes to this,
because yes, you know you're dotting the i's and crossing
the t's. I get that. What does it actually look like, though,
is what I can about.

Speaker 33 (51:00):
In exchange, the United Kingdom will now see a reduction
in some of the tariffs that the President has put
in place. Specifically on auto tariffs, those have been twenty
five percent. That will now come down to ten percent,
but not on all cars coming into the United States
from the UK, not on all.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
And that's because the luxury cars, well they're getting that
little Eh, you're fine sending those luxury cars in er,
We're totally fine with that. Which is it making the
auto workers thrilled?

Speaker 33 (51:29):
That ten percent global tariff that the President put in
place on countries all around the world, that stays in
place on the UK that did not change. There will
also be decreases in the steel and aluminum tariffs as.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Part of this deal.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
It's aluminum to you, so make sure that's the way
that the Brits say it. Aluminum, not aluminum. Muse silliness.
So the ports are booming right right now.

Speaker 33 (51:54):
That traffic at the LA poured down thirty two percent
cargo ships arriving. The President said, that's a good thing
because it means that trade is down and that people
would then be buying products made here in the United States.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
I don't know. This is the way, you know, again,
I've always talked about this with trade. I'm a free
trade kind of guy. Our dollars stronger, so obviously we're
gonna be able to buy more from other people. I mean,
there's a lot of things that go into trade. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
Is your ex let me know what you think right
here on the Chad Benson Show. It's gonna be a

(52:31):
wait and see thing. Could be amazing. I hope it is.
It might not be. I don't know. Could be a
mixed results. And I will tell you no matter what
side you're on, you're gonna hear what you want to hear.
Are you open enough to actually hear the truth when
all is said and done. One of the other things
Trump is looking at is trying to get the big,
beautiful bill across the line. But he is The Republicans

(52:54):
are not thrilled by this, and this is where their
first little standoff could come when it comes to taxes.
What Yeah, taxes.

Speaker 34 (53:02):
Multiple reports say President Trump is pushing Congress to create
a new income bracket for people who make more than
two point five million dollars a year. Those people would
face a higher tax rate of about forty percent compared
to thirty seven percent.

Speaker 18 (53:16):
Now.

Speaker 34 (53:16):
The move comes as Congress considers whether to extend Trump's
first term tax cuts.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Which is what they want to do because it's a big, beautiful, big, beautiful,
just the lorge beautiful bill. But he recognizes that he
to get this over the line is going to need
a little bit of help. And you know they're selling
that Medicaid. Medicare is going to be hammered and they're
going to end up having to cut into that, and
as we all know, that is fraught with danger. Kids,

(53:43):
if you even think about cutting into Medicaid Medicaid, there
are a lot of people out there that are terrified
to touch any of these things because they know it's
political suicide. At least for the Republicans, it would be
Trump would still be there, but then Democrats are going
to control everything. And trust me, I will tell you
this to a person. The Democrats want that to happen.

(54:07):
They want them to touch Medicare and Medicaid because they
know it's a win for them. If you've been seen
a show, grab the podcast Little Wheel of Surprise, Straight Ahead,
Chad bets a, Joe, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
The Chad Benson Show, it's that time of the program.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
We do it every Friday where there's a lot of
stories that are out there that we just don't have
time to get to. I read them, we gather some
audio sometimes sometimes there is an audio with it, and
we have a lot of fun. We call it the
Wheel Surprise. So what happens is I have no idea
what these stories are because there was a lot that
we didn't get to this week. So the ones we

(55:05):
didn't get to, we just number them. We spin a
wheel and we find out what story is out there
and we have fun with it. You guys ready for it.
Let's do it. Number seven.

Speaker 4 (55:32):
What's old is new?

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Right?

Speaker 35 (55:33):
So science is backing this revival because if you look
at some of the research that is being done, especially
by the University of Washington and other institutions, Basically it's
not just pretty penmanship. It's helping students in a myriad
of ways. They are telling us that research shows it
boosts spelling and reading comprehension, It helps kids generate ideas,

(55:54):
it enhances their memory. It also helps simply with fine
motor skills and promoting brain development. So, Markie, it's touching
on all of these facets when they're learning, specifically when
it comes to ELA, and that is fueling the comeback.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
It's really exciting, that's right. The comeback you say, of
what cursive. Cursive is making a comeback in this country
where they've got people once again because it went away
for a long time. I mean even when kids come up.
We all laughed right when we were younger, and you
got to the point where you start applying for jobs,

(56:31):
and so in school you're learning at a cursive, right, cursive.
Then you get to the point where you start filling
out applications and they're like, uh yeah, don't hand it
write regular style. You're like, well, why the cursive.

Speaker 35 (56:47):
So when we talked about that comeback, let's look at
the trend over just the past decade. So this year
twenty twenty five, they're about twenty four states that require it,
and just a decade ago it was fourteen so that
shows you the uptick in just ten years time. Students
are learning it around third grade, but some is old
as fifth grade, and.

Speaker 7 (57:04):
It's not regional.

Speaker 36 (57:04):
Look at the map.

Speaker 35 (57:05):
I mean it's California to Alabama. Here in Georgia and
other states such as Pennsylvania, Jersey, and Florida just to
name a few. There are others that are considering it.
So we're seeing legislation getting proposed. The huge shift really
came about fifteen years ago. If you do have a teenager,
you're familiar with common Core, and that basically is when
we saw this influx of technology. So we saw all

(57:27):
the smartboards replacing chalkboards, we saw tablets and laptops, and
now we're seeing really a combination of both this technology
and also bringing back the penmanship, the handwriting, the cursive
because really all of it helps students.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
That's right, helps your brain helps the students. There going
back to some old style stuff. This is more about
your brain and things like that. Now that being said,
it's good for your brain. But kids, there's computers, so
you won't write a lot. I'm just putting that out there.

(58:01):
Most of that writing you are going to do, it's
probably for little notes and things for yourself. That's all
I'm saying. It's the wheel of surprise number four.

Speaker 37 (58:26):
This is what she's smoking mehing raccoons, all right, Oh,
there's no it is trying to smoke it, alright, there's.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
No water, all right, all right, Enough fun in games,
Enough fun in games. If you haven't seen meth raccoon,
you should. Trash bandas has we know are lovely. If
you've never seen a trash banda that's a raccoon. Their
nicknames or trash bandas. They have little hands. They're very,

(59:00):
very creative and hilarious. Woman pulled over in spring Field
Township in Ohio and looked like she's been living out
of car. Life was rough, as they would say, kids,
and I think bad choices played a huge role in that.
And one of those things you're gonna do if you're
gonna live inside your car, besides smoking meth and having
all the garbage you could dream of, is have a raccoon.

(59:24):
And when they rolled up on the lady after taking
her out and looked in the car, there was the
raccoon holding a meth pipe. And then when they took
that away from him, he got the other meth bie.
Fifty five year old Victoria Vidal was charged with threecounts
of possession of drug paraphernalia, and she was also cited

(59:46):
for driving under suspension. Poor choices, Poor choices, Poor raccoon.
His name is Chewy. He's fine. I just want to
let you know that. Department said Vidal could face additional

(01:00:08):
charges for crack cocaine possession pending lab results from the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation. She was turned over to the
police because she also had an active warrant. They placed
the raccoon in a carrier and contacted the Ohio Department
of Natural Resources to ensure that Chewy is rehome to
a safer location with less access to crack cocaine and meth.

(01:00:32):
It's the wheel of surprise. Number you an eleven.

Speaker 38 (01:00:52):
In March of nineteen seventy two, the Syviet Union launched
Cosmos four eighty two, a probe that was supposed to
land on Venus, but a technical problem prevented it from
escaping or its orbit, and in the decades since, the
orbit of Cosmos forty.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Two has been slowly decaying.

Speaker 38 (01:01:06):
Now it's headed back to Earth and there's concern that
it could come crashing down in one big piece. Since
it was built to survive Venus's harsh atmosphere and environment,
the lander will likely splash down in the ocean. This
will be more like a meteorite hitting the Earth, which
happens quite frequently and rarely causes any harm.

Speaker 11 (01:01:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
So it's been drifting slowly, this thing Cosmos for eighty
two really for the last five decades, so it could
hit the planet sometime the next couple days. It weighs
about eleven hundred pounds. And it's funny. They showed the
major cities that could be hit by the out of

(01:01:45):
control Soviet spacecraft in America. If you would like to know,
there are you know, a few places in North America.
In theory, it could hit a couple in Canada, and
a couple in Mexico, and maybe the Guild of America,
the Gulf of America Havana, Cuba could be one of those,

(01:02:07):
as well as Philadelphia, Phoenix, Calgary. So be prepared, folks.
It is hurling towards Earth at epic speed.

Speaker 39 (01:02:25):
This is.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
The Wheel of Surprise number three.

Speaker 36 (01:02:46):
All right, Look at this side by side, Meredith, there's
a burger on the left.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
There's a burger on the right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Okay, do they look the same to you?

Speaker 9 (01:02:53):
What do you think?

Speaker 36 (01:02:55):
Well, a judge has some thoughts on this, which is
why that judge is now green land lighting a lawsuit
against Burger King, allowing it to move forward after nineteen
customers in more than a dozen states sued, basically arguing
they were sold whoppers.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
In more ways than one duped.

Speaker 36 (01:03:12):
They argue by ads that, according to the suit, make
it look like the burgers are about thirty five percent bigger,
with more than double the actual meat than the real
burger itself.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Burger King denies all this, of course they do. This
is a whopper of a lawsuit. So they're being sued
and if you could see the burgers again, it's advertising
and you're allowed to get away with certain things in advertising.
But this is interesting. It's a whopper of a lawsuit.

Speaker 36 (01:03:46):
The judge in this case is the alleged false advertising
goes beyond exaggeration here, which is why the green light
now is moving forward for this.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
What does that mean the judge's own words.

Speaker 40 (01:03:55):
Idealized imagery is something that is commonly used in the
world of food atising, which is to say that BKA
could reasonably argue consumers no better than this. It wouldn't
be fool if there's a slight difference between what's in
an AD and what they're actually purchasing. What the judge
is saying in this case is it seems to be
so egregious that they should be able to move forward. Now,
here's the top line in all this story. It is

(01:04:17):
allowing the lawsuit to proceed. It doesn't mean that Burger
King is guilty of any sort of misleading consumers or
the public. It just means they're going to be taking
next steps here, which involves things like discovery, potentially certifying
a class action lawsuit, and what a.

Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
Class action lot. So we're moving kind of ahead. There's
been stuff like this before.

Speaker 40 (01:04:36):
Many folks at home might be asking, what's the difference
between this case and one that came up a couple
of years ago against McDonald's and Wendy's which was dismissed,
where a similar similar argument was being staged, And the
judge says, twofold one. The extent of the exaggeration, as
you already mentioned, thirty five percent is what the planiffs
are asserting here in terms of the difference between the
advertised burger and the real burger, but also that back

(01:04:59):
in twenty seven. If you look at what Burger King's
ads look like before that point in time and then after,
it's again so exaggerated that the consumer could reasonably argue
that Burger King, over the course of the last several
years just decided to make their hamburgers.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Larger, when in fact that may not be the reality.
So we spoke with an attorney, by the way.

Speaker 40 (01:05:16):
Who has representing or is representing the majority of those
nineteen people, and we asked him, you know, what are
you trying to achieve in all this, and he said, honestly,
transparency in advertising.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Transparency in advertising. It is kind of odd the thing
that you would be so angry as to go to
an attorney and file a lawsuit to say that what
they sold me because they're not arguing whether or not
it tastes good. They're arguing whether or not it looked

(01:05:54):
like the burger in the advertisement. Now here's my thing
I would argue on the other side of it is
not only did it taste good, yes, that's that doesn't matter.
What is that burger way over there? So if that
burger over there weighs well, it's hard to tell because

(01:06:16):
it's an advertisement. So, and I'll let you guys know this,
A vast majority of food advertisement now is AI. So
you don't know what would weigh. So if I give
you a burger that weighs the same, it may not
look the same. But is that what we're arguing? Do
you want it to look just like the burger?

Speaker 41 (01:06:35):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Or is this about way? I don't know what is
the upshot of the lawsuit.

Speaker 42 (01:06:39):
It's to get everybody their day in court, to get
everybody the justice they deserve, whether it's eight dollars or
eighty dollars or eight million dollars. It's everybody should be
treated fairly, no one should be taken advantage of, and
companies should not be allowed to get away with doing
things like this that are are counter to what the

(01:07:00):
public deserves and what the public that's.

Speaker 40 (01:07:03):
Hallie Burger King had a very strongly worded response to
this lawsuit. I want to get to that now. What
they said is the plaintiff's claims here are false. The
flame grilled beef patties portrayed in are advertising. Are the
saint patties used in the millions of burgers that we
serve to our guests across the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Really because it doesn't look like it. How much is
that burger way? That's what I want to know. How
much do that burgerway? How much is this burgerway? How
much did it shrink upon shrinkage, upon the cooking of it?
And if you want to fluff it up, just put
big pieces of lettuce on it and then fluff it up. See,

(01:07:44):
I could be a lawyer.

Speaker 40 (01:07:45):
It's all about expectations. And the argument again from Burger
King would be, look, as a consumer, you would just
think that you're not expecting the exact replica of what's
the best version that's portrayed out on the airwaves, or
you know when you look at those little boards in
the restaurant. However, the client in this case, so I
should say, the plaintiffs are arguing that it was so
badly misrepresented that it's an unjust and Burger King needs

(01:08:06):
to change.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
Its advertising unjust indeed. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

from all of you that right there was the wheel

the Chad Benson Show. Deep States, no deep doo doo eeah,

(01:10:00):
the Chat Benson Show. For all the talk of the
issues with flying and everything else, there are some good
flying stories out there. Case in point, this cat who
bought a five hundred and ten thousand dollars ticket. You're like,
what that sounds horrible? Ah, why do you hear this?

Speaker 41 (01:10:17):
Back in nineteen ninety he bought a lifetime pass on
United Airlines for him and a companion. The price five
hundred and ten thousand dollars sounds expensive, but that pass
lets him fly first class anywhere anytime.

Speaker 11 (01:10:29):
Basically, you take my brother and say, hey, let's go
down to the house and buy some cowboy boots. So
the next day on Friday, I say, honey, let's go
to Paris for the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
And get this.

Speaker 41 (01:10:40):
He earns reward points on those miles.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
You're like, wait, wait what Yeah, So he bought this
pass like one of those lifetime passes. So it's five
hundred and ten grand, but you get two tickets first
class anywhere, tons of reward miles. Check this out.

Speaker 41 (01:10:55):
Stuker has used points to remodel his brother's house, even
fund a children's cancer charity.

Speaker 11 (01:11:00):
Yeah, and I got my mind's a's no argument about that.

Speaker 41 (01:11:03):
He hasn't owned a car in decades, using his points
to rent cars instead.

Speaker 11 (01:11:07):
I was able to make a lot of people's dreams
come true, especially my kids, especially.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Me and my wife. That's pretty damn awesome. You gotta
love that, Stu. Do you have any advice?

Speaker 11 (01:11:17):
Get your butt out of bed and take that first
flight out most dependable flight number one. Prices are cheaper
at that time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
That's what I keep telling everybody. Later you go in
the day, the more there's a chance that your flight
is going to be delayed or canceled because the domino effect, right,
which is, if your pilots are coming from somewhere else
and or that plane is coming, you know, flying here
from Boston to Philadelphia or wherever it is you're flying,

(01:11:48):
and something doesn't go right, where there's a delay somewhere
down that line for whatever reason, weather, mechanical, issues. It
throws everything up. That's why the first one out is
good Stu, You're right three two, three, five, three, eight,

culture and whatever. We're going to talk a bit about that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Cancel Culture. Got a lot of stuff going on in
the world of cancel culture right now this week, and
it's interesting because you'll hear people say, after the whole
Shiloh Hendrix thing, and we'll get to that in a second,
that cancel culture is dead. It's over, can't cancel anybody.

(01:13:54):
It's done, it's dusted. Finally, it's over.

Speaker 11 (01:14:00):
Is that true?

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Is it over?

Speaker 20 (01:14:04):
This is the most devastating attack on cancel culture that
we have seen, possibly ever. Shiloh Hendrix has, without really trying,
effectively ended cancel culture. As Mark Dice said in his
video about the incident, Shiloh is the final boss of
cancel culture, or maybe rather the final boss that cancel
culture has to fight.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
And I think that's right.

Speaker 20 (01:14:27):
And this is the part that many conservatives seem to
be missing. All they see is that this woman said
something bad and is now getting rewarded for it. The
whole thing is so unsavory that they can't help but recoil.
And yeah, it is unsavory. You wish that Shiloh had
said or done something that we could affirmatively defend. That
would be much easier. Nobody wants to affirmatively defend cussing

(01:14:50):
out a five year old, even though I don't think
the kid's actually five. But none of that is the point.
The point is that the only way to put an
end to this routine, the routine where the outrage mob
mobilizes and assembles to destroy somebody's life, is to disincentivize
the routine.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
And the only way to.

Speaker 20 (01:15:10):
Disincentivize that behavior is to reward the person who's being targeted.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Eh, what a bunch of horse crap. Let's revisit the
whole thing for just a second. She's at the park.
She says something horrible to a child, and I love
how they're trying to figure out what was the child
five or was the child ten? Does it matter you

(01:15:36):
call him the child? Did you call the child a lord?
It is now business you call him? Okay? Why don't
you have the boss to say it right now?

Speaker 11 (01:15:45):
Again?

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Hooker? Yeah, that's solid. And she said that the kid
stole something from her diaper bag, and that's why she
called him the N word, because if you can act
like we, I mean, it was just okay, that was
her action, was her choice, okay, And there are consequences,
and the consequences today apparently or do a bad thing

(01:16:10):
get rewarded for it. But this just isn't about her.
And then we'll get to that in a second. The
guy from Gibson Go, who is the I think he's
second in charge, one of the founders. His name is
Jacob Wells, was trying to explain it to somebody who,
by the way, I don't think this went over the
way that Jacob thought it was going to go over

(01:16:31):
about you know, why reward somebody for this kind of behavior.

Speaker 9 (01:16:36):
Now, so let's let's just clarify some of the facts.

Speaker 11 (01:16:39):
So one, but.

Speaker 9 (01:16:42):
I'm just so, I'm just gonna clarify some of the facts.

Speaker 39 (01:16:45):
She we don't know the age of this child, so
that's in contestant contestant rate number one. The boy was
rummaging through her belongings, which caused the back. So it
wasn't like she unprovoked just stepped into a situation and
called a young.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
Boy a term.

Speaker 39 (01:17:07):
It was because this boy, who some people say is
as old as ten years old, was actually stealing from her.
And she said, now that doesn't excuse I don't condone
calling people racial appitaphs and bad names at all. But
there is a place for I mean there was go
fund Me allowed a campaign for the boy and his family,

(01:17:28):
and it raised three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So
is that condoning thievery or stealing. I don't see the
outrage against go fund.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
You're not helping yourself. There is a place for it.
If if the kid's over a certain ny, what the
hell are you doing? Cancel Culture's not gone anywhere, and
cancel culture, as they call it. The ridiculous and of
cancel culture. Back when people first realized they could take
to the interwebs to try to destroy people's life, was

(01:17:58):
based on the fact that somebody would be accused of
something that was for the most part redict You micro
aggressed me. You said all lives matter, and all of
a sudden, you're destroying somebody for something outrageously stupid. That

(01:18:21):
because the mob thought it was a good idea and
it felt good. I'm a free speech absolutist. You guys
know that I like this lady. She didn't win. Cancel culture.
And this also became a battle of what took place

(01:18:41):
in Texas with Carmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf when he
had a boy stab another boy. Well, if you just
heard that, you're like, that sounds awful, But now you
got to throw the Rachel component there black boys dabs
a white kid so, and then all of a sudden,

(01:19:04):
the white kid and his family are bad, and people
are donating tons of money to the black kid, and
he looks like he's being rewarded. So people on the
other side will said, screw it, We're going to go

(01:19:27):
and reward this check. The hell is wrong with us? Anyone,
anyone more from the guy it gives and go.

Speaker 39 (01:19:38):
What we realize is that the mission of gifts and
goes to share the hope of Jesus in dark moments.
And we realize that Shiloh is going through a dark
moment just as much as this other family is, and
we want to be a light in all of these moments.

Speaker 9 (01:19:53):
And the way that you approach them.

Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
It's a million dollars, Yes, it's money. It's not a lie.

Speaker 15 (01:19:56):
You're not going knocking on our door and saying, hey,
let me help you learn how to be a better person.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
Let's figure out why she's going to get a million dollars. Yes, yes,
And their thing is no, we do we reach out.
We we we have prayer teams, we do all of
these kinds of things. We want this to be an
experience where we can reach out to them blah blah
blah blah blah. It hasn't stopped. It doesn't stop. Cancel

(01:20:29):
culture or whatever that's still going to go on. This
didn't put a cancel culture. For the last several years,
I think it has been on kind of life support
because I think people it got to the point where
it was so ridiculous that people are like, you know what,
screw it whatever, and then they started, you know, going

(01:20:50):
against it because they saw the ridiculousness of it. And
let's just say, you know, she gets a million bucks.
I'm not gonna say because I could say a lot
of things horrible that I won't say, which is one
of the reasons why, you know, it drives me crazy

(01:21:12):
at times because I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna temper myself
here in this situation because well, first of all, I
can't say some of these things because the FCC would
come after me. But secondly, I'm gonna take a deep
breath because we live in a world of emotions. But
you're rewarding because they got rewarded. It's right wing versus

(01:21:35):
left wing, and we're gonna use these people as a
battleground and see who can out money each other. And
you know what what happens when she pisses all this
money away out of curiosity, not saying she's going to
but kind of like the lottery people, they tend to

(01:21:56):
piss it all away. Then what happens because she's going
to get a job? Aren't you that chick that called
the five year old ten year old? Whatever? Yeah, I
don't think you could work here.

Speaker 43 (01:22:08):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
I'm a big proponent of forgiveness, and I know people
in the heats of moments can make mistakes and say
something stupid.

Speaker 8 (01:22:19):
That is.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
Offul. I get that we've all said something. Maybe it's
not a racial thing, right, but maybe it's something to
your mom or dad, or your sister, or to a friend,
or you've said stuff that looking back, you didn't think

(01:22:43):
much of it after the heat of the moment, but
maybe it left the mark. But because it wasn't racial,
or wasn't something that was caught on film, there was
no real repercussions for it. I'm a big proponent of forgiveness,

(01:23:08):
but rewarding bad behavior. This isn't about the people. This
is about the people that are giving at this moment
in time, because this is a battle of I'll show
you culture. And that's one of the things they talked
about Carmelo Anthony and people giving.

Speaker 39 (01:23:24):
There Carmelo's case, he deserves the presumption of innocence until
proven guilty in a court of law, just like everyone does.
And the moment that we begin to undermine that principle
for anyone, it becomes nullified for everybody.

Speaker 9 (01:23:37):
And I can provide a very strong case for.

Speaker 39 (01:23:41):
Why we've set our jurisprudence, our legal system on the
cornerstone of presumption of innocence, because it's good for our
societies to flourish, and many other reasons. These are the
reasons why we do these things. They're actually principled reasons,
not emotional reasons. So I get they're hard situations, they're
difficult moments.

Speaker 9 (01:24:00):
You got to take a step back from the emotion.
You get to say, hey, listen, what's going on here.

Speaker 39 (01:24:04):
Should people have the right to make donations and give
money to people of their own choosing how they should be.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Able to Absolutely, I got no problem with that. It's
your money, do whatever you want with light it on fire.
I don't care. But don't tell me it's because I'm
taking a stand against cancel culture. This is oh, I'll
show you moment. And you've got a lot of that
going on and people are using their money see the
likes of Luigi Mangioni among others. Don't buy into will

(01:24:33):
go through culture is dead. Maybe it's dead ish definitely
on life support, which isn't all bad. But responsibility culture,
will that be coming? Forgiveness culture? We need a little
bit of that. Three two, three, five eight, twenty four,

of these things today, like all of them. Pope Leo

(01:27:19):
the fourteenth trending, other things that aren't the Pope. Three
Doors down. Lead singer Brad Arnold has been diagnosed with cancer.
Videos everywhere right now. At stage four cancer. He has
canceled their tour. Paige Buckner's basketball Player Russia Ukraine War trending.

(01:27:40):
FDA is also trending because they're warning people about the
dangerous drug known as gas station heroin, which apparently is
not actually heroin, just to throw that out there if
you didn't know what it was. So I'm like, wait,
there's something worse than regular heroin. Yeah, gas station hearra

(01:28:01):
The FDA doesn't regulate the other heroin. Head over to Twitter.
This one's very Catholic today. Pope Vatican Villanova because he
went there, Peru because he lived there, and he's got
a passport for there because he's dual citizen. Hey bus
peg bump, which is we've got a Pope, Golf of Mexico,

(01:28:21):
Gulf of America, McDavid, Hockey, Judge Jeanie Tillis Devers, Surgeon General.
All things trending in the magical world of Twitter and
Mother's Day and finally over to Google, Robert Prevost. That

his pope name, he is Leo the fourteenth five million
searches in the last few hours. Crazy right, Bill Gates
giving away all of its money three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chat Benson Show,

(01:29:03):
That's your Action, your Instagram and everything else on the
Chad Benson Show, Popin' All Things rolled out yesterday as
we have a new pope. Some of the other things
trending on Google, John Paul, the second UK Trade Deal

(01:29:26):
and poop also trending on Google. One of the other
things trending is White Sox and Cups and the reason
is because the pope was born and raised in Chicago.
Is he a fan of the White Sox or Cubs? Well,
the Cubs put a big thing out there saying that
he is a Cubs fan.

Speaker 7 (01:29:46):
His brother is saying, yeah, he was never ever a cupstand,
so I don't know where that came from. He was
always a sock fan. Our mother was a cups stand.
I know, maybe that cruger there, and our dad was
a Cardinals fan, So I don't know where that all
came and all the ants. Our mom's family was from
your side, so that's why they were cutting.

Speaker 9 (01:30:07):
But that's right.

Speaker 7 (01:30:09):
But where it came from, I don't know, because he
would have been the only one.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
He's a White Sox fan, a white Sox fan. Some
of the stuff about the Pope the Internet is both
hilarious and awful at the same time. It was minutes
before the conspiracies, it was minutes before the Maga folk

(01:30:34):
decided to go after the Pope. I'm like, okay, oh,
the Internet. You make me laugh and at the same
time you make me cry and scare me. Three two

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
The Expense of.

Speaker 44 (01:31:29):
Life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
We know it's expensive. You know, it's super expensive. Everything
and anything with kids is very expensive. I always talk
about when we take the kids in the movies. I'm like, ah,
how does everybody do it? Because we don't go that
often because don't have time. But you go there and like,
I'll like when Jack's coming out, so like he and

(01:31:51):
I and Lilly nobody, we'll all go to the movies
and it'll be like three or four of us and
walk out there it's like one hundred and twenty bucks,
and you're just like, my god, life is expensive, and
it's getting more expensive. We recognize that. And if you
want to take your kids to, say an amusement park,
maybe one where it's a mouse house, oh, it might

(01:32:14):
be really expensive, even if it's just a day trip.

Speaker 26 (01:32:17):
A Florida father is going viral after showing just how
costly a day trip to Disney World has become.

Speaker 15 (01:32:23):
Before we even got into the park, you cost me
thirty dollars just for parking, and even being a Florida resident,
tickets for a family of five with one child under
ten with still nine hundred and seventy four dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
What nine and seventy so grand before you got into
the park. I'll be honest, thirty bucks to park, Well,
it sounds a lot. I thought it'd be more than that.
But the thousand dollars before you get in this so
you're going in there already chunk a change out of

(01:32:55):
your pocket.

Speaker 26 (01:32:57):
All right, you posted this video. You have more than
eight milli people who have watched it. Are you surprised?
And why did you decide to do this?

Speaker 27 (01:33:03):
I kind of had a feeling it would go viral.
It's very relatable, it's family friendly. Disney's always a hot
topic and we're we're all trying to pinch pennies. So
that video was probably my therapy as I was going
through the day. The kids were smiling, sometimes fighting in
between the lines. My wife was having a grand all time. Meanwhile,
mine was just swipe the card over and over and over.

(01:33:24):
And it started with the ticket purchase and then it
ran right into the parking and then it just was
like a cash gown for the rest of the day.
So I kind of had an idea that people would
be able to relate to it, just maybe not so much.

Speaker 2 (01:33:36):
Oh boy, yummy, yowey, YoY keep Gavin. It is so
damn expensive. It is. Disney's expensive for a lot of people.
It's a destination, right, They're going to go there, They're
going to spend several days there, and this is it right,

(01:33:57):
like as a family, and it made me mean, you know,
your older kids, your grandkids, like, you're all going there
as a big, giant group. And I remember when I
used to go to Disney a lot and maybe I'll
get into a little bit later and went a lot.
I don't like, I don't want to be braggadocious, but
it was a lot, and I used to always wonder,

(01:34:17):
like because you'd see in particular before you know, they
had Disney, you know, in Japan and elsewhere you'd see groups,
but especially the Japanese where there were groups of them
like family, like massive, and they're all taking pictures. And
I was talking to one of them one day and
standing in line again I went a lot, and they said,
you know, this is our everybody in our family going trip,

(01:34:43):
you know, to America and to Disney, and it's a
big cultural thing and we're all here together and so
we're remembering everything because we've got you know, great grandma
all the way down to the to the new newest
little child and this won't happen again. And I think
for a lot of peop people in other parts of
the country because growing up, you know, within miles of

(01:35:03):
Disney and that's Berry Farm and whatnot.

Speaker 22 (01:35:06):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
It was a place that I just go every day.
And I yes, I used to go every day. I'm
not going to pretend that I didn't. I you know,
I went more times than I don't even want to say.
It's shameful, shameful, shame. If you really want to know,
you can listen to the podcast more from Dad Who's Broke.

Speaker 26 (01:35:27):
Yeah, Kendall, your daddy had to work so hard. I
know he's a small business owner to send your whole
family to Disney.

Speaker 4 (01:35:32):
Was it worth it?

Speaker 9 (01:35:33):
Yeah, honesty, it's worth it. But it was so packedious
to be there for one day for all that money
you spent.

Speaker 26 (01:35:38):
Yeah, and Dad, you tried to get the lightning passes
so that you could get maybe to the front of
the line for would you say, three rides, but those
were too expensive, so y'all opted out of doing that,
So you had to wait in the long lines too.

Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
Trying to put a price tag versus value.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
What's it worth?

Speaker 27 (01:35:51):
The lines were so long, so we're already a thousand
deep into the park. Now we're going to drop another
four hundred to get lightning passes. So if I don't
want to say it this way, but if you do
the average of cost per ride, it probably isn't really
worth it. So we almost wanted to do the lightning passes,
but multiply times five that day would have been double
the price.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
Double the price. So you're looking at what three grand,
give or take. So if you don't know about Disney,
you can get fast passes, lightning passes, all of these things.
And you know, like I said earlier, I was very blessed.
Disney wasn't what it's become now. Where you go to Disney,

(01:36:35):
you got to make an appointment. Everybody in California and
Southern California has passes, same thing in Florida and elsewhere,
and it's it's a zoo. And then with COVID it
really exploded and there was so much you know afterwards
where people were just itching to do stuff. So you know,
we always knew the times to go. And in the

(01:36:56):
summer when I was a kid growing up, they had
a pass that was made from like May until September
that anybody could buy. But you know, everybody in southern California,
the kids, we would we get it because it was
like ninety nine dollars and Disney stayed up until one

(01:37:18):
o'clock in the morning and you were able to go
there after five on that pass. So we would go
maybe during the summer one hundred times.

Speaker 9 (01:37:31):
It was it was that cool.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
We'd just pop over, we go, we hang out. It's
kind of like the place to go at night your
mom or dad would drop you off when you were younger,
that kind of stuff. And now it's just like whoa.
But they didn't have fast passes. But you know what,
you might wait forty five minutes in line, maybe an hour.
I hear people say, oh, yeah, it was like two
and a half hours to get onto a ride, and

(01:37:54):
I thought, my god, no, no, no, I've been on
If it's the only time I've ever been there, I
want to try to do as much as you can.
But even think about it, if you go there and
you're only there a day and you spend all that money,
you're not writing all the rides in a day. You're
not writing all the rides. You're going to stand in
line for seventy five percent of your day. That's why

(01:38:18):
they have the fast passes and all these kinds. And
by the way, the fast passes and the lightning passes,
those things right there, so many people are buying them
as well, which is crazy that you're standing in line
for something you really weren't supposed to stand in line
for it because you paid extra to not stand in line.

Speaker 9 (01:38:35):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 26 (01:38:36):
And we do all these stories on people who can't
afford their groceries and or gasoline, or at least that
was under the last administration. It's gotten a little bit better,
but when you hear those kinds of stories, it's sad
that the most families can't afford to do Disney right.

Speaker 4 (01:38:51):
And that was the last minute decision with Florida residents.

Speaker 27 (01:38:53):
We decided with some family in town that they wanted
to go on vacation to Disney, so we went with them.
So it wasn't even planned trip. And unfortunately, I don't
think those day trippers are what Disney wants. They want
you to never leave the park, they want you there
for five days, and they want you to drop ten grand.

Speaker 4 (01:39:08):
So I think that one day trip I'm actually being
punished for it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
I understand that I haven't taken the kids yet to Disney,
and I'm going to. I wanted to wait till Charlie
got older so she could. It's trying to find that
right balance, and because there's a bigger age gap. You know,
my oldest is sixteen and the Jack will be fifteen
next month, and then Lily's fourteen and Charlie six, So
we're gonna go soon and it'll be I'm excited about it.

(01:39:39):
But yeah, they're not interested in the in the day
tripper for going to the park. The reason people by
passes at a place like you know, like disney Land
is because like my uncle and my aunt, you know Paul.
We talked about Paul here all the time. My uncle,

(01:39:59):
he he and his wife, they go to Disney all
the time. They probably go, i know, ten times a month.
Why they don't go there to ride rides. They go
eat dinner, they wander around downtown Disney. They may ride
one ride, but it's like no different than going to
a mall kind of thing. So that's what a lot

(01:40:20):
of the southern California and the Florida and people who
buy those paths, that's what they're there for to ride
the rides. Though, no, they're not looking for that for you.
They want you to spend the money in a weird
way once you get in the park to ride the rides,
which is again just crazy.

Speaker 26 (01:40:39):
Yeah, that lightsaber we just saw your son holding was
forty four ninety nine and you said he couldn't have it.
You have to tell your son, and you want to
be able to say, look, this is a special trip.

Speaker 9 (01:40:47):
We're in Disney World.

Speaker 26 (01:40:48):
I want to get my children each a toy. But
unfortunately it's just we're not able to do that when
we travel and you're spending fourteen hundred dollars in one day.

Speaker 2 (01:40:59):
If you're going to spend several days somewhere and your
goal is to ride as many rides and do all
those kinds of things, yeah, Disneyland's great, and there are
there are different Disneyland and Disney World are pretty much
the same. If California Adventure, uh next. But but Disney
World's bigger, So it's all the layouts almost exactly the same.
It's just a longer walk. But there is something magical

(01:41:22):
if you if you if you like Disney about Disneyland,
but if it's about riding as many rides. I tell people,
if you've been to Disney a couple of times, that
you still want to ride a whole bunch of rides.
Go to Disney in Europe. Euro Disney Man on off.
So it's uh, it's cool, You'll be on, You'll be off.
It's quick, it's fun and you get see Paris stuff

(01:41:43):

There had been so much talk about whether or not
there was a slim possibility that there would be an
American pope one from the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
He went to college at Villanova studied mathematics.

Speaker 23 (01:46:29):
Italian media has referred to him as the least American
of the Americans because of his quiet, humble way.

Speaker 2 (01:46:37):
Let us pray.

Speaker 42 (01:46:39):
For this.

Speaker 7 (01:46:46):
On Earth.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
Wow, what a week. Indeed, we didn't even get to
Trump stuff, right, trade stuff, a lot of other things
that are going on. But man, that was a week.
And then sum crazy but awesome. Speaking of the weekend,
so we head into it. Remind her that it is

(01:47:08):
Mother's Day this weekend. If you do know anything about
Mother's Day. Anne Reeves Jarvis she was a West Virginian
woman who organized what they called Mother's Day work clubs.
So she wanted to promote health and sanitation during Civil War.
She also promoted unity by caring for both sides during

(01:47:30):
the war. Then Julia Ward Howe in eighteen seventy, best
known for writing the Battle Hymn of the Republic, issued
a Mother's Day proclamation calling for peace and disarmament following
the Civil War. She suggested Mother's Peace Day on June second,
but it didn't take route nationally. Ann Jarvis, the daughter

(01:47:53):
of Anne Reeves Jarvis, held the first official Mother's Day
celebration in Grafton, West Virginia nineteen oh eight to honor
her late mother. Then she campaigned for a national holiday,
but it wasn't until nineteen fourteen that Mother's Day itself
got a proclamation from then President Woodrow Wilson declaring the

(01:48:15):
second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, a national holiday
dedication to the best mothers in the world, which is
your mom. There you go. Now, you guys know a
little something about Mother's Day. And I want to wish
my mom and aunt who raised me, a happy, happy
Mother's Day. They're awesome and I love them, and they're

(01:48:36):
busting their butt taking care of the kids. And I
want to wish my wife, who was an incredible mother,
an amazing Mother's Day as well. She's just incredible taking
care of me and the kids. In particular, Charlie could
be a little chaos. But to all your moms out there,
God bless you and you have a good Mother's Day
and make sure that you give your mom a big hug.

(01:48:58):
Going to kiss this Mother's Day from us here at
the Chad Benson Show. Solid fun week of shows. Happy
you guys could hang out with us. We had some
fun and holp about the fact that we have an
American pope. Isn't that crazy because for many, many moons

(01:49:22):
there was a pretty good understanding by a lot that
this was never going to happen for whatever reason, they
didn't like us, And I know there's a lot of
conspiracies out there. The only reason they picked him is
because he's against Trump. Yeah, I don't think that's as
real as you think it is. So congrats to you, sir,
God bless you. You're gonna need it. You guys have

(01:49:44):
had bless an amazing rest of your weekend. Happy Mother's Day, night,
night Jack.

Speaker 1 (01:49:49):
