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

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A whole bunch
of stuff out there to talk about in the world,
things to discuss, and I am thrilled to be here
right before Labor Day. There are some stupid Labor Day
specific stories too that I found kind of funny, like
what's America's favorite condiment? And so I know that those
won't be the high value news things that you might.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Expect for shows like this. I won't do it now.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'm promising not actually doing the topic now, just mentioning
that stuff like that will be discussed today, because.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Darn it, why not. And selfishly.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
One other thing that is out there in the news
at a Texas I currently live in Houston that I
love is that Mark Teshera, the World Series winning first
basement for the New York Yankees nine, is running for
a political spot. He's running for a seat in Congress
just outside of San Antonio. And it's awesome for dudes
like me who love certain teams in sports as much

(01:12):
as they do because I get to contact and I've
already done this Mark to share his team to ask
to do an interview with him that's definitely going to
be about the Yankees. I'm sure that politics will come up,
and I'm sure it's going to have to because it's
the whole point.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
They'll agree to it.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
But I also will have to ask several questions about
being a Yankee first baseman, following the footsteps of people
like Tino Martinez and Jason Giambi getting you know, a
signed and free agency and then winning a World Series
and two those Oh, that's gonna happen. So that's just
a me letting you know thing, whether it'll be on
this show or any show that will help me. Honestly,
I do love the fact that I fill in on

(01:46):
national shows, even if that's not my full time gig,
because it helps me book guests like Mark to Shera.
So thank you, Chad in advance for any day you
let me jump in on here and I get to
talk to somebody fancy like that.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Of course, the big conversation and it's third day is
what happened in Minneapolis, Minnesota, And unfortunately, to me, a
byproduct of what's still keeping this in the news is
the left's pushback on it being about prayer, or it
being a hate crime, any of that stuff, it's just
so weird. I know the Left loves to be up

(02:20):
in arms mad when they believe that someone who did
something is, you know, motivated by Trump or somehow it's
racially involving something. I know that they love to tell
you definitively before there's enough information that it's a hate
crime or it's this or it's that, and that you know,
these people are terrible and Trump shouldn't be a president anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
I know that that's the version of rhetoric more often
than not.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
But when it's this and when it's obvious, like the
pieces in the story make it abundantly clear what happened
and why.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
The young man who.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Did this and I never name these horrible people went
to this school at some point decided he wasn't a man,
but he was a woman, believe because society told him
that he could be a woman.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
And then this is the craziest thing.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
And I think the New York Post actually put this
in their story, giving us more details about this person.
In the diary of the guy who did the shooting,
he says that he regretted trying to be a woman
like that. He said that medicine and money made it
so that he was never going to get the thing
that he wanted, and you know, he wanted to go back,
but he didn't believe he could go back to being

(03:26):
a man. And so the person felt trapped in the
life that they had chosen to live and felt lied
to by society in claiming that something could happen that can't.
So we damaged the mentally damaged person to a degree
that they sought to commit violence against children at a
Catholic school. And you can't understand that that is obviously

(03:49):
a hate crime, That is obviously something where someone was
motivated by a certain specifics, Like.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
You have to deny that. How can you be that naive?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
And you know, evil actually is another way that I'd
really like to say it. It's another way that I
feel about it, because it does feel uniquely evil to
me that someone, anyone in a position of power anywhere else,
would would behave this way and pretend these things are
anything other than obvious. And even the cops in the case, now,
granted for legal reasons, I understand some level of hesitancy

(04:23):
with some of that from police, but acknowledging that it's
tremendously likely that this is something motivated by hate for
the specific group. Seems like the bare minimum of what
you could do and not have any sort of risk,
you know, of any sort of legal pushback on that.
But I do have audio that I want to play of. No,

(04:43):
that's again a new some hold on. I have audio
that I want to play of a few different things
where the cops are talking about and saying, you know,
we're not sure what motivated We don't have any proof
of mental illness or any of this yet, because society
has now said that a person who wants to be
a woman it's biologically a man, isn't mentally ill, when
the vast majority of people who are in that situation

(05:06):
absolutely are mentally ill for a variety of reasons. But here,
here's part of the audio of the police chief saying
they're not aware of any mental illness.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Is there any kind of health diagnosis that anyone is
aware of.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
There's no diagnosis that I'm aware of that I can share.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
I can tell you we are not aware of any
state ordered mental health commitments for this individual.

Speaker 7 (05:29):
Chief.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, but couldn't you assume that maybe there's some mental
health going on here, and this is the other thing,
and darn it, I'm going to start the Chad Benson
Fillan show on a rant.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
My name's Craig Collins.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
If you get mad at anybody, don't get mad at
Chad for anything I say here. Because I know there's
controversy for some stupid reason in some of this discussion.
I don't hate anybody, and I know that that feels
like it has to be at the forefront of discussion
like this because somebody somewhere who hears the show is like,
my god, this guy hates trans people or he hates
this group of people or whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I hate nobody. I promise you in advance that that
is true.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
However, I am also willing to be honest about things,
even if that honesty seems harsh.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
That's not hatred. That's just telling the truth. And so
in the world of this person who tried to.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Be a woman even though he's evidently a man and
then regretted that decision, it's obvious that he had mental
health issues, and that a whole lot of people who
feel this way are struggling with mental health. May be
way more than any biological anomaly that might exist that
says that you have a certain amount of hormones in
your body to a much higher degree than you're supposed

(06:36):
to as the biological sex who we're born with. So
something in your body biologically might be telling you that
you're different than what you look like.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
That is incredibly rare.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
It does exist, I will say that as much as
it hurts me with people on the right, it does.
A thing that exists, But any sort of medical anomaly,
it typically exists in just a fraction of humans. Now,
taken that to tell our society that a ton of
other people who don't know what they're struggling with, who
are looking for answers as to why something is difficult

(07:10):
in their life, we're telling them this is an answer,
and then they believe it, and then it doesn't actually
wind up being an answer, and they're devastated because it's
impossible to go back from some of the things you
do to yourself in this situation, medicine you take, or
procedures that might happen. This is the big reason that
parents fight against allowing their kids to have any of
the stuff done to them. When the kid has been

(07:31):
convinced that this is something that will make them happier.
And I've known a lot of people in different not
this situation, but in different mental health crisises in their life.
Are different things they've struggled with, and the hope that
there is like a solution around the corner is part
of what keeps you going. But if you're directed in
the wrong way this thing has promised to you that

(07:53):
never happens, of course, it's going to wind up causing
you to break. And I'm not providing any mercy to
the e piece of craft that decides to hurt children,
to kill children in response to their own personal pain.
But I'm absolutely saying the quiet part that some people
seem to not want to say out loud, that mental
health is a component to this, and that society's encouragement

(08:14):
of some of these things is in fact a portion
of how we get to something as horrific as what
we got to here. Also, this story just shifting gears
a little bit because it tarn It's a holiday.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
You feel like you got to talk about more fun things.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
A Gavenu some abruptly ended a press conference about crime
in California as soon as a real question was asked.
A lot of people are saying that it would be
Nazi Germany to have our national Guard help police cities
that have rampant crime issues, not actually behave as police.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
That's actually in the constitution.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
You can't do that, but do something that does help
in protect cities from criminals, which the National Guard can do.
I love the fact that that's the version of discussion
out of the left because it also shows a lot
of fear of our military. I'm not afraid of the
men in winsomen who serve in this country, the men
who volunteer and women who volunteer to be, you know,
people that protect our freedom throughout the world.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
I'm not afraid of that. I don't fear these individuals.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
And if they were ever given an order that they
vehemently disagreed with, I believe that the men and women
in our society who serve would say no to it.
I believe that, even though COVID kind of demonstrated that
some police wouldn't act that way unfortunately. I believe that
military people would stand up if they thought something truly
wrong was happening. So fear mongering about They're going to
round up a bunch of innocent people for stupid reasons.

(09:33):
Won't happen if you actually respect and like the people
who serve in our military. But anyway, here's Newsome being
asked a question about crime in California and just deciding
that he had to hit the panic button and run
out of there, which is a hilariously terrible way to
also think that you're like the air apparent in your party.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Here we go bred safety, say or higher. And at
the same time, we're here because you're surgy law.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Enforcement across the state.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
So do you believe that crime is a problem in calip.

Speaker 8 (09:58):
When you're not well?

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Sort of curious question. I made the entire point that
crime is an issue and we want to tackle it,
and we continued to do more in that space, and
we announced and highlighted some of the expansion. What is
not contradictory, respectfully, is that we're doing it in partnership
with our local communities. We did in partnership with the

(10:24):
Biden administration prior. We're not talking about the nationalization, the
militarization of the Guard and militarizing the United States cities.
So quite the contrary.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
I mean, it is over I don't want to follow
up questions.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't want any other conversations from any of these
people that are asking this terrible stuff, like if we're
actually taking this seriously, how dare you we're going to
have to leave? Not everything is just ego stroking as
far as conversations go between Newsome and others here. And
it is hilarious again to me to see the effectiveness
of what's going on in Washington, d C. How quickly
things are getting better for people that live there, how

(11:02):
quickly you know, things like murder are disappearing from a
day to day stat or an every other day stat.
And how obvious it would be that more people would
want that sort of experience. It seems like exactly the
kind of thing you'd want. But all right, that's just
some of what we're going to talk about today. Of course,
a lot to get to, a lot of important things
on the show. Thrilled to be here, filling in on

(11:23):
a holiday. Craig Collins filling in talking about some ketchup
related topics as much as I could and want to,
because darn it, they're fun for me too. On the show,
More and just a bit Craig Collins on the Chad

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Check two five two eighty two s Chat bens a job.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig
Collins filling in. I can't I probably shouldn't mention this,
but I'm really amused by it. Producer Phil is very
good at his job. You should know this as much
as you can. There might have been some lines crossed
and a potential that I wasn't aware I was going
to do this show today. I'm thrilled to be here.
A Chad's audience is massive. You guys are awesome. Chad's awesome.

(13:35):
Everybody's awesome. But it's kind of unique being bumped into
a second segment, being bumped into a second segment on
this show and being like, man, I wasn't sure I
was doing that, but we got it.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
We have stuff. Let's talk about ketchup and mustard.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
American's most favorite condiment, according to the Internet, is neither
of those things. Apparently it is mayo. Thirty percent of
Americans say that's there kind of been a choice if
they could just have one for the rest of their life.
Twenty nine percent said ketchup, so just right behind twenty
five with mustard. Thirteen percent love relish. Those people are crazy.
They do like a lot of these condiments. Just again,

(14:12):
their favorite ketchup might have been harmed by Chicagoans who
hate it. I lived in Chicago for a long time
from the East Coast, originally live in Texas, now trying
to live in all the major cities New York, Chicago, Houston.
I guess I got to move to LA at some point.
But anyway, what I find funny about this is, like
the people in Chicago are right. Ketchup does overpower the

(14:33):
taste of other things. If you have a bunch of
things on a burger or on a hot dog this
Labor Day season at your cookout, and then you add ketchup,
you're going to taste more ketchup than anything else.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
So it is better to not do it.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Freeing yourself from ketchup is an experience in life that
you need to have. Adding other sauces and things is
much better, but I do love that. Again, this is
a list that's out there because this is the kind
of dumb stuff that we in media thinks a lot
of fun to talk about, just just before the holidays,
because it's probably something that you can relate to, you

(15:06):
can understand. It's the kind of thing that we all
enjoy discussing again, even if it probably isn't the most important.
It's the kind of story where I'll get a text
from somebody being like slow news day Collins, and I'll
usually say, no, I just wanted to talk about how
I don't like ketchup anymore and it's mostly an abomination
as well. One other thing, very quickly, a dictionary dot

(15:27):
com trying to get in on the viral craze of
the CEO at the company who got fired or quit
because he was caught on a kisscam. A kisscam is
now defined by dictionary dot com as a thing that
focuses on fans, whether they want to be focused on
or not, so trying to get their viral moment within

(15:47):
the virality of that story from a few weeks ago,
Good luck, dictionary dot com, I told you though about it,
so I'm a sucker.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
I was roped in. All right.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
This is the Craig Collins version of the Chad Benson Show.
Thrilled to be very happy to be with you. Interested
in what I'm gonna do next, because my plan is
about as good as yours. Craig Collins, Chad Ben to
shoe more in a bit, I could be a little honest.
I might have a few more things my sleeve. As
far as stuff that we have planned to do today,
young people are putting ice in beer. That is a

(16:18):
topic I'll probably discuss in more detail later because it's
an abomination to society. I'm mad about most of the
topics that I just decided to throw in here. Ice
does not going beer. Actually, ice much like coffee will,
or much like ketchup excuse me, will ruin a lot
of things.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
You don't put it in a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
If something is uniquely warm and you have no other
way to cool it quickly, fine, go ahead and throw
ice yourself into that thing. A nice mixed drink with
a little bit of ice can be enjoyable, but by
and large, you don't need ice and stuff. It's just
gonna water it down. It's just gonna make it worse.
So I love that too. It's not gonna overpower the
taste of anything. It's gonna, you know, power it down
in ways that you don't want. So that's also out there.

(16:58):
I don't know if young people are doing this untilial
media to make older people mad and actually okay, in
a little bit, if I bring this topic back up
after a break, let's say, in about thirty minutes, I
also want to tell you a story about a woman
I talked to recently in a bar. I'm a married man.
My wife was there that kept using a few terms

(17:18):
I was unfamiliar with, including complaining about old heads and
the way in which she complained about it. The thing
she said about old heads, I think, within the context
of the story, I was an old head, but I
was one that obviously she liked enough to complain about
the other old heads to me and near my wife.
But it was a strange moment, and I'll tell you
about it too, because the old heads are probably the

(17:39):
ones mad about the ice and the beer.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
A quick break, A lot coming up.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Such Chad Benson Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
This is the Chat Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A whole bunch
of stuff out there to talk about. The Left is
going to obsess about a CDC change, so it looks
like somebody got fired and or quit, mostly because there
was a disagreement between the person in charge of the
CDC and Robert F.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Kennedy Jr.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
And vaccine mandates or vaccine recommendations is luckily the way
we get to say them. Now Here's what I think
is a first asolutely no not Kevin absolutely hilarious about this.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
And the first thing that I think is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Is we should have a whole bunch more people get
fired in bureaucratic positions than we do normally. We should
see high turnover often in these places, and we don't,
and media pretends as though this is bad whenever it
does happen, and that is so dumb, so incredibly stupid.
Excuse me, because would make things way better. If you've

(19:19):
ever worked in a place I hate describing this as
often as I do now, but I can't help it.
If you ever worked in a place where there's a
bunch of people who've been there a very long time.
There are some good things that come from long term employees.
I'm not knocking it completely. There's some very good things.
People who know what they're doing, they know how to
do things. This can be very good. However, creating change

(19:39):
an environment where nobody wants to do anything different and
they've all been there a while is hard for an organization.
And a good way to sometimes get change out of
the people that work for you is to fire somebody.
It doesn't have to be somebody important. It doesn't have
to be somebody I don't know that doesn't deserve it.
But if you can somebody, it creates that version of oh,

(20:01):
I might not be safe. I need to make sure
to do things a little bit. And some people will
work this hard no matter what, and those people you
should keep forever. But by and large, most of us
need to be motivated by an old fire and a somebody.
That's sad to say, and so again, I think that
would also be great in the world of bureaucratic unelected
officials is that they get to see that their jobs
are very temporary if they're not doing them well. And

(20:23):
apparently Press Secretary Caroline Levitt very much agrees with me.
I here's what she said in response to a question
about the CDC departures that have been happening over the
last few days.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
I understand there were a few other individuals who resigned
after the.

Speaker 11 (20:36):
Firing of Miss Monarez.

Speaker 10 (20:38):
One of those individuals wrote in his departure statement that
he identifies pregnant women as pregnant people. So that's not
someone who we want in this administration anyway. So if
people are not aligned with the President's vision, in the
Secretary's vision to make our country healthy again, then we
will gladly show them the door.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord
splitch you. That's absolutely the thing you can say to
more people.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
And I love that.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
And again, I think that in places where people assume
their job is safe no matter what, especially when they're
you know, drinking off the I can't say that word
on the air. I think I can't say that word
in the air. But I'm not going to suckling off
of the body part that they shouldn't be suckling off
of and taking the warm milk of thinking their job
is safe forever. Getting that person fired occasionally is very

(21:25):
good for a whole lot of us as far as
things go. So I think we should again see quite
a bit more of this, not less of this, and
I'm very happy with what happened so far.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
All right.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Another piece of reaction audio out of this story is
a flashback, and this is fun to when the left
definitely was recommending that people get canned and all kinds
of terrible things happen if they don't follow their authoritarian ideas.
The CDC leader who just resigned seemed to not be

(21:56):
aware of the monkey pocs are and the craziness of
President Biden. So let's go ahead and do a refresher
from twenty twenty three to remind some people about what
other individuals were saying.

Speaker 12 (22:07):
I work in HIV normally, and I'll tell you that,
you know, I always say that I've never made an
HIV diagnosis in someone that hasn't somehow related to stigma.
I think ampox is the same. So really, stigma tends
to be a barrier to testing, a barrier to vaccination,
and so you know, really addressing stigma intentionally and making
sure that we get the word out in a way

(22:28):
that supports people's joy as opposed to you know, calling
them risky. So I think, you know, one of the
things to think about is that, you know, one person's
idea of risk is another person's idea of a great
festival or Friday night for that matter. So we have
to sort of embrace that with joy and make sure
that folks know how to keep themselves.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, I gotta be honest, It sounds like this guy's
version of a great night is what some people might
think of as risky behavior. But this was twenty twenty
three and someone from Biden's administration encouraging people to not
be afraid of monkey pocks no matter what community you're in,
and to you know, make sure to go ahead and
get the old vaccine and worship at the altar of

(23:06):
listen to us and whatever we think is right. And
if you don't do that, you're a terrible person. But
apparently the CDC director now thinks that, you know, the
opposite not requiring you to get treated for certain things
is somehow actually akin to I don't know, Nazi Germany.
It's amazing how often they try to compare President Trump
to an authoritarian even.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
If it doesn't exist.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Another thing out there that I thought was interesting shifting
gears a little bit. Ashley Babbitt has been offered a
full military funeral.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
This is something that will happen soon.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Babbot, of course, was the person who was shot and
killed during the January sixth riot or whatever you want
to call it, where they actually like try to call
it a coup, which is so stupid. You can't overthrow
a government if you don't bring any weapons along. That's
usually not going to succeed, but it is. It was
a travesty that Ashley Babbitt wasn't given an Air Force
funeral as a veteran, and so President Trump will fix

(23:59):
that is something that will.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Happen in the near future.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
And honestly, it's the kind of thing that again media
will will tell you as a big controversial decision, but
it's not.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
And so I'll go back to something I was talking
about a second ago.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
And I do think there's more reactions out there that
we'll get to later on in the show. But when
people tell me that what's happening in Washington, d C.
Is an example of the horrible encroachment on our democracy,
the rights in our society, blah blah blah, whatever they say,
and they say that like occupation of cities by our
military is the first step to us becoming Nazi Germany.

(24:35):
I just think it's ridiculously insane. And the reason why
is again that the military is something that a lot
of people pretend that they care a whole lot about.
Many people actually do care a lot about it, and
obviously the people who volunteer to serve and defend our
country must care about it quite a bit. But again,
there's a lot of people who fake it, or a

(24:55):
lot of people who seem to think that that they
only have to say certain words and their actions don't
to match those words in any capacity. And I think
a lot of those individuals have to be at the
forefront of saying that what's happening in DC is categorically
bad or or can't be a thing that we should
be seeing at all, because it demonstrates a willingness to
very quickly accept that the military, the men and women

(25:18):
who serve our country, could be your enemy within the
snap of a finger, that all of a sudden, these
people that you might look up to and respect and
care about might harm you.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
And I don't believe that to be true.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I believe a uniqueness of the US military is that
we'd never do that. We'd never be corruptible to that
degree by a leader, any leader that asked us to
do certain things. And I've known a lot of military
men and women, know a lot of military men and
women who are proud to say that if they were
given an order that they knew was illegal and wrong,
they'd defy it. And they'd defy it as a group,

(25:51):
which would kind of be awesome to see, Not again
saying that Trump is in any capacity doing anything like that.
But if you accept at the door that our military
is worthy of the praise and admiration that we're supposed
to give them because they're honorable people, then you're not
remotely afraid of occupation of cities because it's not what's happening.

(26:12):
It's not what they do. And if crime goes down,
if murder goes down, if things get better, you would
be happy about it. And I did say this and
some other things that I fill in on, and I'll
say it here too. There is a unique sense of
patriotism in a good way that comes from seeing more
uniformed men and women in a place like Washington, d C. Again,

(26:33):
people who want to shape it as bad. It's sort
of amazing, and maybe it's a step to actually getting
the true respect for military that the veterans deserve to
have it be at the forefront of conversations more often
are just physically in your world more. I actually think
the same is true about guns. I will say this

(26:55):
shifting gears just a bit, bouncing back and forth between topics,
A little of the fallout from Minneapolis the same as
the fallout from any horrible tragedy where an evil person
decides to take other people's lives, any of those scenarios
that happen in our society. When people call for guns
to be removed, by and large, I think a bunch

(27:15):
of those people have never fired a weapon at all
in their life, Like, never even gone to a range
to try something. You have the mayor in Minneapolis, Minnesota
being such a profound moron in trying to talk about
guns and how they work.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
And I have audio I can play for that.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
But there's just something so amazing about the stupidity of
some of this stuff, and how easily you could inform
yourself and have a more valuable opinion in these kinds
of discussions, to at least try to pretend as though
you've considered the alternative before you advocate so heavily for
something that makes no sense. But this is the mayor

(27:57):
in Minneapolis, Jacob Pray, just the other day, talking about
guns and what he thinks the dangers are of them,
and he says a truly idiotic thing that again convinces
me he's literally never even been.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Close to a weapon that someone was firing.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Here we go, America, then we have people. The reality
is is that we have these assault rifles that can
reel off thirty clips in conjunction with a magazine before
the person even needs to reload.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
That makes absolutely no sense. Anybody who knows anything about
guns knows that anything that's thirty clips in conjunction with
a magazine is saying something that is illogically impossible, because
a clip in a magazine are the same thing, but
you can't add in conjunction, and then the thing happens
and then nobody needs to reload. I don't know what
you said, I don't know what just happened. I don't
know how many bullets are in a magazine of the

(28:46):
gun that you're mystically firing the way you're firing it.
But again, if you want to be at the forefront
of changing something in our society, you think the Founding
Father's got it wrong and the Second Amendment is terrible.
At least attempt to inform yourself.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
That's the thing that I hate the most in arguments
with a lot of people, hopefully not you. I think
the people who listen to the show or are demonstrating
a level of understanding quality. Chad is awesome and definitely
talks about things without needing to think that he's got
to be on any one side of any one issue,
which is always good to have people like that. But
when I talk to some people who seem that they're
desperate to always be on the same side of every

(29:24):
argument forever, one of the things that I most noticed
about them is how adamant they are that they don't
need more information. I was doing a show in Florida
and a guy called in to complain about something I
was talking about, and I'm like, yeah, sure, let's put
that guy on the radio.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Let's get the complaint.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
And the complaint was that a fact I was providing
about a topic was a fact.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
He didn't like.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
And I love that, And I was like, but you
got to look it up, you got to let and
he's like, I'm not going to look it up.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
How dare you tell me to look it up.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I'm going to tell you what I don't like about
the thing you said, even if it's a very verifiable
fact our society. It was actually about inflation in Biden's
time in office, if you want to know the exact specifics.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
But I just thought that was so funny.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
I let the guy kind of hang himself, and then
we let him go, and then I talked a little
bit more about it, as I'm doing now before it
took a break, which I'm about to do too, actually,
and I said, how funny it was to hear someone
do two things in our society motivate themselve to call
into a radio show or something that would be a
public version of an argument instead of just doing this

(30:28):
in his own private life where he's not going to
essentially take the same level of risk of embarrassment. And
then also like willingly scream out loud that he's not
going to look up facts. I love it so much.
I love people who behave that way. They're like, I'm
not going to inform myself more. How dare you? I'm
confident in my belief. Now if you make me inform

(30:48):
myself more, I could be wrong and I don't want
to know that. So I'm gonna yell and scream and
then go hide in the corner. That's the most broken
part of our system. And a lot of the people
who are called canpiracy theorists are truly just the people
that are actually looking up what is a fact and
what isn't and then telling you about it. And you're
the useful idiot who's screaming that you don't want to know.

(31:09):
All right, Well, take a break. A lot coming up.

Speaker 13 (32:54):
Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and wherever you
find your favorite woke free podcasts.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. A Florida man wearing
Batman pajamas stopped at burglar in one of the best
moments of his entire life.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
The guy's name is Kyle. I have audio I'm going
to play.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
There are two competing things in my head that are
crashing into each other about this story. An adult man
owning and wearing Batman pajamas to go to sleep is
something I definitely want to make fun of and will
make fun of, because that's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
It's not a good look.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I hope it had the velcro cape too, because it
would make me even happier if that's the thing he.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Was doing, because of how stupid I think it was.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
But then a guy who stops a burglar stops a
criminal and it detains him until cops get there.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
That is cool.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
That is something I respect, So it's very confusing if
I do or don't respect Kyle. I want to play
some audio though, to let us all decide as a
collective if we think this guy is cool or the
exact opposite of cool. Again, he stopped a burglar. He
held somebody until police got there. That's easily cool.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Here we go.

Speaker 8 (34:11):
She checked it and she woke me up. She said, Hey,
someone's rummaging through your truck. So I called him. I said, hey,
your garage is open and my truck was just broken into.
So I'm going to sit outside until you guys secure
your garage without the person seeing me, and I grabbed
ahold of their shirt and their right wrists. I said, listen,
don't try to get away. I have plenty of experience
with this. I'm really glad I had my Batman page

(34:32):
Amazon because I gave me the extra confidence that I needed.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Okay, again, Kyle is mostly cool.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
If I met this guy at a bar and he
was telling me the story, and he's like, there was
a dude, he's breaking into my truck, my neighbor left
the garage over and all the things he said at
the beginning of that, and he's like, and I stopped him.
I snuck up on him, grabbed his arm. He didn't
run away. I intimidated him. I don't know why Kyle
said that. He's got a lot of experience with this,
he's a fighter or something.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
It's the last part.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Where the caveat gets thrown in that he's wearing his
Batman pajamas and he thinks they gave him mental assistance
in this.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
That makes you be like what.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Now, that's the moment where you drink your drink and
pretend you didn't hear the last part because you.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Definitely want to make fun of it.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
But I love the fact that, like, to him, it's powerful,
it's significant because hey, you know again, you stopped a robbery.
Whatever way you did it is just fine. But if
it has the velcrow cape in the back, which by
the way, made no sense as a kid. I don't
know why as a kid you would get pajamas that
also had something incredibly uncomfortable out of sleep under you,

(35:36):
the little velcrow things end or the cape. So anyway, yes,
it's a thing, it's real, it's out there. Kyle is
a hero, but also somebody that you wonder if you
could just get him a T shirt in the near future.
But all right, a lot to talk about, a lot
to get to you today. Thrilled to be a part
of the show, Thrilled to be in for Chad just
before the holidays. He'll be back after a quick break
a lot more in a bit, and after, I mean,

(36:00):
he'll be back after the holiday. You'll hear a best
of on Monday, and Chad is back on Tuesday. It's
the one off for me. And I'm very thrilled about
something I won't have to talk about on the show,
and that would be Taylor Swift and any sort of
NFL appearances or even college football appearances she makes.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
College football is gonna be awesome this weekend. A lot
of very.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Good games, uniquely a good weekend. If Taylor Swift makes
any appearance anywhere, it's gonna ruin it, baby, all right,
quick break a lot more, a bit.

Speaker 3 (36:27):

Speaker 1 (36:41):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (37:11):

Speaker 2 (37:13):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about out there.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
JB.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Pritzker, jelly Bean, big dude is saying all kinds of
stuff out there. He's actually saying it takes one to
know one when he talks about President Trump being a
bigger guy, or Trump talks about him being a bigger guy.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
That's just weird stuff. I don't know why they do that.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
But Pritzkar, also on social media, said, according to federal data,
thirteen of the top twenty cities and homicide rates have
Republican governors.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
None of those cities are Chicago.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Eight out of the ten states and homicide rates are
led by Republicans, none of those states are Illinois. And
yet Trump is sending troops here. Here's the problem. That's
not true. That's a lie. And rock of all places,
the AI for X for Twitter demonstrated how obviously ridiculous
that is.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Number eight on the list, by the way.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Is Chicago for twenty twenty four homicide rate data per
one hundred thousand people. Mayors and parties are also noted
on here. Number one Saint Louis Democrat, Number two New Orleans,
Louisiana Democrat. Three Detroit, Michigan Democrat in charge of that city, Washington,
d C.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Number four Buriel Democrat.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
That's four four, and it's just going to keep going
down the list, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten all Democrats.
The first time you even remotely find a Republican on
this list is Eric Johnson of the Dallas and that's
at fifteen, So it's fourteen straight Democrats that are a problem.
And again Chicago has actually ranked at number eight, and

(38:48):
since DC ranked at number four, is on this list,
apparently that's part of the reason that maybe the national
Guard has been used there. Here's what I really don't
understand about this discussion. Let's say that I'm someone who's
in charge of one of these cities, which is horrible
because now I'm very likely to be a Democrat, and
that sounds bad.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
But let's say that I'm actually somebody in charge and
there is a version of me that really wants to
fix the danger and the killing and all the bad
things that are happening, the crime in my city. I
don't think that any of these Democratic leaders are that person,
but let's pretend for a second they are. And if

(39:29):
you've been in charge of these cities for a while,
which a lot of these people have been, this is
a topic you've considered multiple times. You've had a ton
of discussions about what you're supposed to do and how
you're supposed to handle it, and YadA.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
YadA YadA.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
And then someone comes along and says, hey, why not
some national federal help from some people who already live
in your city. The National Guard is not something I
deploy from DC. They live there, they work there, they
know people there. How about they help in any way
they can your cops to actually fix the thing that
you've been trying and struggling all this time to fix.

(40:03):
I would be thrilled by that. I would openly embrace
it and say that's great. We'll make sure whatever they
do is to the letter of the law, what they're allowed.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
To do, etc. Etc.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
But that's not how these people react. And that's mostly
because these Democrats have no interest in fixing this problem.
They have no interest in fixing a whole lot of problems.
More often than not, they want to tell you about
how problems are fixable and it's them who are needed
to do it, and then they want to keep that problem,
so you vote them into office again and again and again,
and they keep promising you to fix the thing they

(40:33):
have no interest in doing. That's the issue with all
of this is that it would be such an open
and shut, easy discussion for so many if and only
if they actually wanted this thing to go away. They
wanted crime in their city to be solved, and they
probably don't even think it can be, which is even
further a reason why they probably shouldn't be in charge
in these places.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
But I digress.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
I just couldn't get over the idea that this is
something that the left is turning into such a big
negative because the everyday American, especially someone who gets to
live in a place like a DC, who's overwhelmingly democratic
to begin with, but certainly noticing the changes within the city,
is going to start to be like, you know what,
I actually kind of like this. I'm actually a big

(41:16):
fan of this, and I'm happy that this is something
that's happening right other things out there, the NFL is,
of course in the news, I getting talked about a
lot as we're getting closer and closer to having that
sport return. A college football, too, is a thing that
people are talking about, and so I have a quick thing.
I'm both first in the world of college football. When
the rankings came out, Even though I'm a Notre Dame fan,

(41:39):
I don't hate that they're ranked in the top ten.
They often are, and at number six, it's not quite
as high as as it could have been, where people
really would be up in arms thinking that they're overrated.
A Notre Dame is often accused of being an overrated
football team. But anyway, when the rankings first came out,
I thought that part of it was because of Week
one college football rankings. Notoriously, from preseason, in the beginning

(42:02):
of the season to the end, there's a whole lot
of teams that are in the top twenty five right
now that will not be in it by the end
of the year. So this one is sort of just
like rolling dice and seeing what happens, And so I
think that for that reason, they created the rankings to
make the game seem more interesting even though they are
going to be good. But you have multiple top ten
ranked teams playing each other, and this is like the

(42:24):
fourth time we've had three or four games where that's
true since the nineteen seventies, So we don't see this
often in the world of college football. And it'll be awesome,
and Notre Dame is one of those ones playing Miami Florida.
But I just love everything about that story and about
how much more it makes both the sport itself a
must watch thing. And then also the amount of confident

(42:46):
gamblers who are pretty sure that they know what's going
on and they know, you know, the best way to
make a bunch of cash, mostly because, as I said,
the rankings right now are very haphazardly created and they're
going to change a lot. But so if you're going
to be watching Texas and Ohio State on Saturday a
number one versus number three and saying, how could Ohio
State be number three if they are a defending national champion?

(43:09):
But Texas has a manning So who knows?

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Number nine?

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Verse number four in LSU and Clemson, And then as
I said, number six and number ten in Notre Dame
in Miami, You're going to be telling yourself that I
know what's going on, I know who to cheer for,
I know everything about this. Also, Alabama playing a Power
Conference opponent in Florida State, just a bunch of teams
doing really really interesting things. So I think that for

(43:34):
that reason, a football is going to be must watch
just right away, even though it already was and people
of course love it. So it's just funny to me
that maybe these rankings will look very different at the
end of the year, and I'll continue the conspiratorial belief
that they did.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
This on purpose.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
The other thing that's amusing to me is that the
Dallas Cowboys had to trade a really great player. Micah
Parsons is someone who definitely wanted a big, awesome contract.
Four time Pro ball edge rusher. He is now a
Green Bay Packer. This was an ongoing story. Jerry Jones
was out in the forefront of saying what he was
and wasn't going to do. He was going to essentially

(44:10):
wait the whole thing out. It might be sacrilege to
say this to Cowboy fans, it might not be.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
I think a lot of them know this. I think
Jerry's hurting the team now.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
I think head coaching decisions that are being made to
the Jerry wields a certain amount of power. I think
some other things going on the way he spoke vocally
and publicly about this probably made a deal with Micah
even harder than if he had just been the typical
owner who doesn't want to be in front of a
camera or anywhere like that. I think all these things

(44:40):
make me believe that the least valuable asset the Cowboys
have right now is Jerry Jones and it might have
been that way for a while. It was a forty
six minute news conference where Cowboys owner and general manager
Jerry Jones said that he ultimately made the trade to
help the team win. Now, he said, this was a
move to get a success in the playoffs. This was

(45:01):
a move to be better on defense stopping the run.
This was a move too if we get behind, not
be on run. And it was a deliberate move, a
well thought out move to make this happen.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
No, it wasn't. It was none of those things.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
And the biggest reason it had to happen at all
is you wouldn't shut up about what you were trying
to do with a guy who was obviously not content.
So I just again, I think that it's kind of
interesting that we're in this place where we're talking about
college football and the unique success of it and the
unique amount of eyeballs on it, and then you talk
about the NFL and marquee teams like the Dallas Cowboys

(45:33):
and what's going on for them.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
It's not going to hurt the NFL.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
A whole lot of people are going to watch that
sport regardless of what happens there. But it's just It's
interesting because I do think the NFL's more fun when
the Cowboys are better, and I know a lot of
people in Dallas are going to say that and believe that,
And they haven't been really good for a while there,
and it would be nice to see them be good again.
And trading away a four time Pro bowler who's probably

(45:56):
one of the better players in the entire league is
not necessarily getting you down that path. Also, Bill Belichick's company,
managed by his young girlfriend, filed a trademark for gold Digger.
This is while areas to me, and I just wanted
to mention it because I know as the season approaches
there's all kinds of stories about the NFL that'll come

(46:17):
out or college football that'll come out. For some reason,
Bill Belichick's company wanted to make sure that it had
a trademark of gold Digger. It uses it on jewelry
and key chains and things that TCE Rights Management LLC
actually sells. Oh Man, this is so good. I don't

(46:37):
know why she'd be proud of this. Jordan Hudson, although
I will say one thing, and this is a weird
thing to say, and it's a little bit over overly honest,
to me, but I don't care. If I'm Bill Belichick whatever,
all this is fine. And I have a family member
who told me how disgusting they thought this was, how
horrible Bill Belichick at seventy three is for dating twenty

(46:59):
four year old former cheerleader Jordan Hudson. And if you're
a Bill Belichick, you don't think this is horrible, even
if she's starting to make jokes about being a gold digger.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Party Who's like, I don't care, It'll be fine for me.
Is it about love? Maybe not. Are they getting married
anytime soon? I'm not sure?

Speaker 2 (47:16):
But is it uniquely the kind of thing that a
whole lot of guys can understand if a seventy three
year old man somehow gets a twenty four year old
woman to date them just by being rich and successful
and whatnot and letting her make her own company and
jewelry and all this stuff.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
I know, I think a whole lot of us will
not blame.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Bill unless she actually really starts to interfere with the
product on the football field, which it sounds like maybe
she's done a little bit already. However, involved she is
with North Carolina and the football team is the only
route to this being something that I think more of us, judge,
And actually I still laugh about the idea that a
fan and is a guy an uncle of mine that
told me how gross and disgusting he thought the whole

(47:56):
thing was. Maybe for Jordan, it's a lot of that stuff.
I can't imagine the same is true for people and
what they think.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
I'm sure that a lot of women judge Bill Belichick.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Guys, if you're judging him, I feel like you're only
doing that on public on purpose and not because you
actually think it. But all right, well, take a break.
We do have a lot to get to, a lot
to talk about today that is serious. We have more
discussions about the CDC, all of that coming up in
just a bit. This is Craig Collins filling in on
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Everybody has felt and whenever they open their mouth.

Speaker 9 (48:32):
They look like they're totally cool, that that's just part
of what life is.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
And Trump's saying, no, it's not.

Speaker 9 (48:39):

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Welcome to Chad. No, not the country. The institution is
a Chad Benson show.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
filling in.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Thrilled to be with you.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. I
do like the Trump administration has planned to limit how
long Forden students can study in the United States. It
does seem like it's a way in which some people
might be able to claim their studying going to less
than prestigious schools and then living in the US for
quite some time. The Department of Homeland Security announced yesterday

(50:34):
it intends to publish a proposed rule that would limit
the length of the FORIDN students time being allowed here
quote since nineteen seventy eight, Forden students or f FISTA holders,
I could stay in the US for the duration of
that status, I meaning however long they're claiming to still
be in school. But now it's probably not going to
be more than a four year program, which makes sense.

(50:54):
If you're really just trying to come here to educate yourself,
then you don't intend to try to stay then you
probably shouldn't be allowed to take five, six, seven, eight,
ten years to get through that education, mostly because you're
really just wasting money at some point, in all honesty,
being a career student not necessarily a good move in
the world of a foreigner who seems to be here

(51:15):
for other reasons. I know that every time they talk
about this topic or something like it, that people in
certain walks of both I guess media and also politics,
I will tell you that it's racism and it's hatred.
Even though it's also just obviously a very logical thing
to say and do, it's strange. Again, as candidly as

(51:38):
I can say that that these are the sort of
things that people want to be on certain sides debate
because it just makes no sense to me whatsoever. One
other quick thing, and just to mention this as fast
as I can. Mark tishera who is running for a
political position in Texas, put up on Twitter about ten
fifteen minutes ago that he was blown away the response

(52:00):
to his campaign launch. A raising his family in Texas
has been one of the greatest blessings of his life,
is what he said. Now, he's running for Congress to
help President Trump fight for the conservative principles that.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Make Texas strong. Of course, it's a popular thing. Mark.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
You're a famous athlete, so many of us idiots who
do political talk desperately want to talk to you because
we get to pretend to be sportsost for a little bit.
So I'm amazed that you're surprised that it's this big
of an interaction. I would have assumed it would have
been even higher. But good luck to you, Mark t Chera.
I definitely would like to have you on the show
or any show asap.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
All right, this is Craig Collins filling in on the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
I know it is going to happen, by the way,
since Chad is actually the famous person who does this thing,
is he's going to get to interview Mark to cher
I'm going to talk about it, and then Chad's going
to get to do it, and he's more than deserving
to be the person that actually benefits from that. I
am not as just a guest guy that almost nobody's
ever heard of. But nonetheless I'm gonna be jealous and
I'm probably gonna text Chad at some point. Several questions

(53:01):
about the two thousand and nine World Series I have
no idea if Chad's even trying to book this guy,
but the World Series winning Yankee team, which will be
completely not used, I imagine. Again, I can't get over
the fact that an athlete who's running for a congressional
seat somewhere is surprised that it's a popular story. I
honestly think everything even when like a real hot lady

(53:23):
runs for an office somewhere in this country, people wind
up more interested early on in that candidacy for the
exactly the same reasons. You want to be the athlete,
you want to date the hot lady. That's how we work.
We're very simplistic creatures us, human beings, and so I
just find that in music, is the hot lady always
the right pick to be in a position of power

(53:45):
and government? No, not always, certainly, not every single time.
But it's not exactly unenjoyable to have somebody that's TV
attractive talking to you about stuff on a camera somewhere
instead of the current version of what we have as
a Nancy Pelosis of the world, who you know, get
their hair done during COVID and you have no idea
that just happened, and it probably shouldn't have anyway quick break,

(54:07):
a lot to get to. I just cracked all over
several people.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
This Greg Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
Got Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (54:55):

Speaker 2 (54:57):
My name is Creig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
President Donald Trump has canceled or removed Vice former Vice
President Kamala Harris's secret service detail. This is just before
Kamala is set to take a countrywide book tour on
the road. Here's what's funny about this, man. I live

(55:19):
in an area where Kamala is showing up on Houston.
I am curious how well attended her book tour event
there is going to be because the last thing either
of the politicians that were in office before Trump demonstrated
was that they were good at public speaking. This is
not something that Harris and or Biden was uniquely talented at.
So I can't imagine that a whole lot of people
want to show up to a place to hear them

(55:40):
talk about the book they wrote that they probably got
a giant advance on, which is how that money is
embezzled and how that all works. You know that if
you've listened to if you had listened to Rush Limbaugh
over the years when he was owning the airwaves all
over the radio. But anyway, what I think is funny
about this is the Left is using this to say
it's petty or dangers that Harris is potentially going to

(56:03):
be harmed while on the book tour, and that to
me is hilarious. The reason it's hilarious is because it's
not going to happen, and I believe it's not gonna
happen because Harris will go ahead and buy her own
private security team to go ahead and not be at
risk of anything. But also because again I just don't
know if this will be even remotely popular, but I
love the fact that it happened.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
In all honesty.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Danger before book tour is the headline some places because
I love what it allows the conversation to be about.
And actually, I will say one other thing, if you
were someone this is horrific to say it, but I'm
going to put it out there because I think it's true.
If you were someone that did want to harm Kamala
Harris and then you read this headline which all these
newspapers and places, newspapers, all these news outlets are putting

(56:49):
out there, you might be more encouraged to try, which
is uniquely bad. And media all the time tells us
that they have to hide facts from us, they have
to hide the truth from us to protect us from
ourselves and the horribleness of who we are, and then
they seem to fail to do that all the time,
which is weird. However, they are absolutely doing it when
it comes to the story out of Minneapolis from just

(57:10):
a couple of days ago, the horrific shooting where a
transgender individual, a guy who was born biologically a man
but thought he was a woman, decided to try to
kill and did successfully take the lives of two children.
So many horrific parts of that story, so many things
that just before like a Labor Day weekend, you're tempted

(57:31):
to not even really read about and talk about because
of how awful it is, because of how it makes
you feel. And yet it's important to do this and
have these discussions because that's the whole point of why
we do what we do. But continues to make me mad,
and it's a twofer in the world of this story
is the desire for the left to not talk about
the obvious targeting of people of faith.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
I have some audio all play in a second, but
I do want to be as it as possible out
of all the people in our society. And I know
that that vehemently the woke left disagrees with some of
the basic things that people that you know, believe in
God and faith believe in. So I know that there's
some issues already off the bat with those two groups,

(58:20):
but like to be cheering against or somehow trying to
remove the victimization of people that are of faith in
these stories. It's just so hypocritically evil of these organizations
to do it. And the reason why I can't handle
it sometimes is like, what are they doing to you?

(58:40):
What are the people who believe in God and believe
in treating each other better because they think there's a
higher power in charge.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
How are they harming anybody in society?

Speaker 2 (58:49):
And I know that people will say, well, they reject this,
or that they believe this, or that they teach to
love everybody, though that is something that the religion actually
does teach and does ask of the people who follow it.
And if you're not treating people with compassion, treating people
with some sort of kindness and love, then you're failing
to live up to the ideals of the church. So

(59:10):
again I asked the simple question, why deny the existence
of something that's obvious in this case, what do you
think it's actually like protecting or causing or helping with?
And why tell people that they can't offer things like prayer?
But here here's one of those examples. This is a
CNN talking head trying to say that the Catholic church
shooting is not at all a hate crime, and that

(59:34):
calling it one is some far right narrative, And it
seems like there's almost an anger that the hate crime
isn't specific to a group that he thinks is a
victim of hate crimes. And obviously he dismisses the idea
that people of faith can be a victim of a
hate crime at all, which of course they can be.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
But here we go.

Speaker 14 (59:51):
It's a little nuance, and I teach a class on
this in Georgetown. This individual appears to be what we
call a nihilist, and and not to get into too
much detail about their ideology, they believe that no lives matter.
I believe that calling this or investigating this as an
attack against Catholics, I believe is a little disingenuous, and

(01:00:12):
it plays into the far rights narrative about Christians being
under attack in this country.

Speaker 15 (01:00:17):
Clearly since this person went to this school, it.

Speaker 14 (01:00:20):
Appears to be and we don't know their background, but
I think that we're starting to see the creepings of
the politicization of this tragedy, and you'll start seeing that
more and more. I've already seen that online from some lawmakers.

Speaker 15 (01:00:33):
But with that said, you know, I appreciate any hate
crime to be investigated as an active domestic terrorism so
long as it's within the scopes and the reasonability of
the law, and it really meets the purposes of what
we're looking to do.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
And I gotta be honest, like, what's going on in
your brain when you're trying to be on some television
show somewhere in the country trying to correct the narrative
that this is a hate crime.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
It's obviously a hate crime? Like what leads you to
want it not to be one?

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
I just don't understand that, all right, Something else out
there that I think is interesting. Scott Jennings always amuses
me on CNN. He's a guy that entertains me a lot.
He says, call me crazy, but if you tell me
men can get pregnant, you have zero credibility with me
on anything to do with hell. One of the CDC
individuals who recently was let go or maybe actively quit

(01:01:26):
in the world of the White House in this administration,
and Caroline Levitt was uh, you know, found on microphone
saying see you later. Is being talked about a lot
because they seem to think that they're birthing people and
not birthing ladies. Scott Jennings said this about that whole controversy,
and just again, he's someone that often amuses me more
so than anyone else.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
On CNN News Nights with Abby Phillips.

Speaker 16 (01:01:48):
I just I just have to say he did use
the term pregnant people in his risk.

Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
I'm sorry that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Is Like, I love how they don't even want him
to say it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
He brings up that the guy says birthing people, and
everybody on the panels like, please, no, don't, how dare you?

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
They're all trying to interrupt questions.

Speaker 15 (01:02:12):
Is that yes, Scott?

Speaker 17 (01:02:15):
It's so amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
He wrote it down. Talking about this guy is not credible.

Speaker 17 (01:02:21):
Scott, are you serious?

Speaker 7 (01:02:22):
Come on?

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
Incredible?

Speaker 9 (01:02:23):
No?

Speaker 17 (01:02:23):
No, are you serious that this is that? Of all
the things that we're talking about here, immunizations, vaccines, autism,
the research about on on on communicable diseases, on cancer,
and you are the most concerned about someone's use of
the word people.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
No, no, no, Abby, It's not that he said people.
He said birthing people. He said, Look, you know what's
funny about this. Before I let Scott Jennings do his
version of my of this response, I want I want
to get my own shot at this.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
If someone is supposed to be in charge of medicine,
supposed to be valuable in our government, in the world
of the medical decisions that we make as society, and
they don't seem to understand that only women can pop
babies out, that seems like a fundamental issue. If I'm
teaching a math class and one of the people in
my advanced math class in college doesn't know how to

(01:03:18):
add I remove them from the class. I'm like, you're
you're probably in the wrong spot. You're probably not in
a spot you should be in. Yes, all the other things.
You could be debating all the vaccine stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
That's more complicated as far as what people claim and
what I think the reality actually is. This is an
easy one.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
This should be a slam dunk version of Yeah. This
is something I think that's important to discuss because it
shows how deep the rabbit hole goes to a ridiculous degree.

Speaker 16 (01:03:44):
It's the most important because you were just complaining about
the politicization of science, and I can't think.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
I can't think of politicization of science.

Speaker 16 (01:03:51):
That's what some of these people say to the American
people during co I just the credibility of some of
these folks who are complaining.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
Look, okay, so.

Speaker 11 (01:04:00):
I'm a public health medicine positions.

Speaker 16 (01:04:02):
I understand the rhetoric and political You realize that you're
accepting some politicization of science, but not others.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Right science, men get.

Speaker 7 (01:04:10):
Pregnant or not?

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Oh, it's so good, it's it's so great. This is
so wonderful. Can men pop out babies?

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (01:04:18):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Because there's only one answer in biology and medicine to this.
There's two answers for some reason, depending on what side
of the political aisle you're on. It's a very easy thing,
though I'm not pregnant right now. For anyone wondering, some
of that weight is peer and I.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Never will be.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
The pregnancy will never happen for me. And I'm not
at all worried about it ever being a thing because
it can't happen.

Speaker 11 (01:04:46):
That it's responsible or.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Adam done. It's just the same thing over and over again.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
But I love how much they're freaking out because sometimes
I'm going to say this, Honestly, those crazy far left
people or whatever the place in society that wants to
have an argument, they want a complicated version. They want
one where there's tentacles and all kinds of layers, or
at least they think there's layers. They want you to
struggle to do something. And that's why it's so fun if.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
You're in certain parts of media or certain parts of
discussions just in your own life where you do things
like ask someone to define a woman.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
What's a woman? It's something that basic, that's simple. When
they struggle there, it shows how ridiculous they are. You
don't need to have the more complicated conversation with people
who can't have the basic one, because the basic one
shows that everything's going to be about politics, because there
is no rational, logical, you know, human intelligent reason to
deny that it's only women who pop out babies.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
That's the only thing that happens there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
They're the only ones with a womb, are the only
ones that can have a baby at all. And if
we can't say anything that we agree upon about that,
then it's stupid even try to find agreement on other stuff,
because really, how is this a challenge?

Speaker 9 (01:05:57):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
I love that so much.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):

Speaker 18 (01:07:27):
Let me sit around and cooks and soups and eat
brean desserts and just get off fat and say see
you on my life.

Speaker 13 (01:07:37):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
filling in, thrilled to be with you for the day.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Chad is back after the holiday. There will be a
best of show airing on Monday for his programs.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Let's do this.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
The average person borrows three hundred bucks from friends and family,
or maybe right now is in debt about three hundred
to somebody they know in their personal life, and that
causes problems almost all the time. What I thought was
interesting is only four percent of people who've loaned money
to other people in their you know, friend circle or
family say that they have no problems. Everybody else's issues.

(01:08:21):
Whether you're the loaning or the loaner, it's not going well.
The average person owes two hundred and thirty seven of
those three hundred bucks. Here's what's interesting to me about this,
and it's often been the case with my family or
with friends.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
You just give money. You don't ask for it back.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
If you loan money, and if you're the person receiving money,
it's often nicer if somebody says they're just giving it
to you, not that they have to do it, but
that removes a complication of it, and you can still
give the money back. By the way, if someone in
my family had ever given me money that I wanted
to return to them, I would return it regardless of.

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
If they told me it was a gift or not.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
I'd be like, I don't care if if you said gift,
I'm going to ignore that you said that, and I'm
going to go right into the world. If this is
going to be money you get back for some reason
if I need it. And the same is true if
I gave money to somebody and they return it like
a week, a month, a year, whatever later, and they're like, here,
I have it. I wanted to give it back to you.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
I'd accept it. There's no reason being a jerk about it, like, no,
how dare you give me my money back that you
needed at one point in your life that I decided
to give you. Here are some tips for how to
make this a thing. Write down the agreement.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
Actually formalize both parties, what's going to happen, when it's
going to happen, how it's going to happen. Take it seriously.
If you agree to a payment plan with a family member,
actually do it. And then also it says to give
them a kickback. If you're borrowing a large amount, you
can even offer interest so that somebody doesn't break your legs.
I'm an Italian, so part of me does think about

(01:09:49):
it that way. If there's I think the whole reason
if you do this where you're borrowing from friends and family,
you are trying to avoid the interest payments of you know, borrowing,
or you aren't capable of borrowing from some sort of bank,
and so I would actually feel uniquely bad about that
third one, like interest was part of the equation, that'd
be weird, that'd be like, all right, this part seems inappropriate,

(01:10:12):
but we're going to do this part.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
For some reason.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
But they say do it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
It'll make people take it more seriously. And even if
it's not necessarily money. As far as interest, you can
do other things. Give me an iou as far as favors,
purchase them bags of coffee or something, I do something
to say thank you in response back. I know a
lot of people say, just don't do it, Just don't
loan somebody money. If there's somebody in your life, if
their friend, if they're family, and they need it, just

(01:10:37):
just don't complicate things that way. I've never agreed with that,
And the reason why is that if somebody really needs
money and they're coming to somebody else in their family
or a friend and asking for it, and I'm totally
capable of providing it, like it's not going to affect
impact my life at all. I actually remember having a
philosophical conversation with somebody in my family about this recently.

(01:10:58):
There was a big inherent that occurred, and you know,
a lot of money was going to be changing hands.
It was sad because somebody passed away, but again there
was a big part of it. And I remember the
person adamantly told me that if anyone asked them for money,
they were going to say no, and they were proud
of it. And I was like, just out of curiosity, why, like,
I'm not judging you do what you want your money?
A why and the person said, well, everybody's gonna get

(01:11:20):
mine when I die anyway, so I give it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
To them now.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
And MY response was would it hurt you if they
need it and you don't now and you could do it?
And they're like, no, I wouldn't even notice if I
gave them this money. I'm just not going to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
Based on principle, I do think that's uniquely wrong. And
I know I might be in the minority. I know
a lot of people might be yelling at their radio
right now. How dare you say that it is right?

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
It makes things easier, make things better, if it's not
gonna if you're not going to notice, if the amount
of money that somebody in your life says they need
to you is like you know, a toilet paper in
the restroom. I would go ahead and give it. I
wouldn't even ask for it back, because again, to me,
it's insignificant, and to them it might actually be significant. No,
I won't leave the ATM open forever. If there's a

(01:12:01):
version of that discussion where I think it's getting to
be inappropriate, I'll cut it off. But even then, like,
I've just never understood that version of I'm not helping anyone, friend, family,
anyone in any scenario whatsoever, because it does seem like
sort of uniquely heartless. It might be easier to live
on that set of principles than to have a fluctuating

(01:12:21):
set of principles. But I've never understood that. And I
was amused by that conversation more than actually mad by it.
All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up.
Greig Gown's filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
All right, fine, you made me have to be more
honest about this story.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Yes, it was me who was asking, hypothetically, not actually,
if I could have some of the money.

Speaker 4 (01:12:40):
I didn't need it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
I wasn't saying I wanted it, and not even actually
from the specific individual I was talking about this money too.
It might be somebody else that's more closely tied to
me in my life as far as family members go.
That's kind of hoping gave me some of it. But
that's why the conversation happened. And I was so amused
by nahh never happening. But you probably feel that way too,
Who knows? Quick break?

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
A lot more coming up. Craig Collins filling in, Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
A bunch of stuff to talk about out there in
the world. Let's, for some reason debate the value of prayer,
which seems to be a byproduct of a evil person
committing a horrible crime in which she took the lives
of children. This was children who were in a church
at school praying, and then people who want to offer

(01:14:08):
prayer as a way to hopefully eventually find healing through
the horrible loss of life. Even the parents of the victims,
at least a couple of them, have now spoken out
have offered prayer to other families dealing with this tragedy
and whatever version of it, they're struggling with it and
asking for, you know, that kind of thing to be

(01:14:30):
provided to them. The families themselves want prayer, and that
doesn't matter to the Left. Caroline Levitt, I was able
to respond to some of this craziness and horribleness the
other day, and I thought it was actually pretty.

Speaker 19 (01:14:41):
Good questions for you Democrats, including former White House Press
Secretary Jen Sacki in Minneapolis, Merritt and Jacob Ray attacked
prayer and pushed to gun control in the aftermath of
yesterday's shooting.

Speaker 11 (01:14:54):
What's the White House's response.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
To their comments?

Speaker 10 (01:14:56):
Yes, I saw the comments of my predecessor, miss and frankly,
I think they're incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens
of millions of Americans of faith across this country who
believe in the power of prayer, who believe that prayer works,
and who believe that in a time of morning like this,

(01:15:16):
when beautiful young children were killed while praying in a church,
it's utterly disrespectful to deride the power of prayer in
this country, and it's disrespectful to the millions of Americans
of faith, and I would encourage Missaki to pray for
these families themselves who need it right now more than ever, and.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
They're asking for prayers. That's something that's also happening.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
It's uniquely disrespectful to say that the families that what
you want in this horrible tragedy where something you obviously
didn't want happened and has been taken from you. You
can't have that other thing you want because it's bad
if you want it, which is literally what the left
is saying.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
It's insane.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
As President Jady Vance also did the exact opposite of
what Democrats are saying they should do. He actually invited
people to pray with him in response to the horrible
thing that happened. Here's a little bit of audio there.

Speaker 6 (01:16:12):
When I first heard the news, I was worried that
the death toll was going to be higher based on
what the media reports were saying. And right now there
are still a couple of kids, some of whom in
very critical condition, who may yet survive this, and I
think they would appreciate your prayers, and their families would
appreciate your prayers as well. So if you are the

(01:16:33):
praying type, I'd ask you to say a prayer tonight
for those kids that are still recovering, that they may
recover fully and go on to live a full life,
the life that was deprived from a couple of their classmates.
And you know the stories. I'd encourage you to read
some of the stories about what happened yesterday, about the violence,
about the fact that you had ten year old kids

(01:16:55):
laying over their friends to look after them and to
try to protect them.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
Yes, that actually did happen. By the way, there was
a little kid who was a hero who got shot
in the back and is thought to be you know,
he's going to recover, but he was trying to protect
his best friend.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
And here's the moment where he actually does pray, which
I'll get to that now. But I just think that's
so horrible that people want to dictate the desires of
the families who lost loved ones, because it goes without saying.

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
I'll just mention it one more time. That's something they're
asking for you to provide them.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
They're asking for you to provide prayers for them, and
no prayer doesn't stop bad things from happening. That's not
something that people of faith are trying to say. I
don't believe that when I go to sleep at night
that if I'm afraid of something bad happening in the world,
I say, I have the loved one who's sick, and
I don't want them to leave earth, you know, And
some again I pray for that, and then the next

(01:17:49):
day they pass away.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
That's not what prayer is about.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
And anybody who actually is a person of faith, I'm
not trying to overly turn this into a faith based show,
but it's just ridiculous to pretend as though that's what
people are trying to say.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
A prayer sometimes can help you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
Deal with things that you can't answer, questions you can't answer,
and issues that you're not sure what to do with.
And sometimes it's really just an emotion or a feeling
you get from praying and a belief that there's something
greater and better, not just for the family members you've lost,
but for yourself. At some point in the world that
is getting overly religious. But again, I just can't understand

(01:18:28):
how this is a bad thing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
But here's Jdvan's actually praying with people in response to
the tragedy the other day.

Speaker 6 (01:18:34):
You are the praying type, I would ask you to
join me in prayer. I'm just going to say a
prayer for the two little kids who lost their lives yesterday.
And this is a prayer we say a lot in
my church, and I've always found it very meaningful. It's
very short, but eternal rest grands ends to them a Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls

(01:18:55):
of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God
rest in peace. Amen.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
It is a great, tiny little thing to say too,
because again, when you lose someone you love and care about,
and I can't fathom what it would be like to
be a parent losing a child, especially a child at
that age. But one of the things you do is
you hope that they are in a better place, and
you believe that they're in a better place. All Right,
I'll move on. I'll stop being a radio evangelist as
much as I can be. Other things out there that

(01:19:22):
I thought was interesting. The CDC is very troubled, Health
Freedom Defense Fund, all kinds of things. RFK Junior held
nothing back on the firing of the CDC director that
happened the other day.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
This is hilarious. So much of this is hilarious in
all honesty.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
He was at an event with Governor Greg Abbott talking
about making Texas healthy again and some of the rules
that will be in place here in Texas brought by
these individuals. But when I asked that question about people
who are not living up to their part of the
agreement in certain bureaucratic positions throughout Washington, getting fired to

(01:20:00):
be a pretty fair expectation, and I think will light
a fire under everybody else to be afraid that you're
gonna get canned. So you're going to have to behave
a little bit better than say these people were. But
here's part of that audio of Robert F. Kennedy Junior
holding back nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:20:13):
Baby.

Speaker 15 (01:20:14):
The reason why the nations of.

Speaker 6 (01:20:15):
The CDC, how are to assure you that that agency
is able to use stoffacer.

Speaker 20 (01:20:20):
I would say this that, first of all, I will
confirm that we let go Susan Minaris yesterday, and I'm
going to talk about personnel issues. But you know, the
CDC is an agency that is very troubled for a
very long time, and anybody who lives with the COVID pandemics,
all of these bizarre recommendations that were not science. Is

(01:20:41):
all the misinformation understands that the CDC has on its
website today. Among the top ten medical innovation's greatest medical
accomplishments in history was abortion. This is one of the
greatest medical accomplishments because it keeps small families. Go to
the website, look at it, fluorination, giving kids a talks

(01:21:05):
and vaccines. There's a lot of trouble at CDC, and
it can require getting rid of some people all the
long term.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Or short term. Just fire them all right away. It
makes things better and quicker and easier. A few people
that walked out and decided to be done with things
apparently also made the news and actually Caroline Levitt to
go back to her for a sec. I was really
great about one of those firings because of how matter
of fact she was in saying that, you know what,
if you believe a certain thing and you act a

(01:21:35):
certain way and that's not how you actually should be
behaving in the position you're in, then don't let the
door hit you where the good Lord splitch. It is
essentially her version of a statement, and it's excellent in here.

Speaker 21 (01:21:46):
It is Samen so just following up on the CDC firing. Sure,
there are you anticipating other changes there at CDC in
addition to that firing. And is the administration going through
in a very sort of organized fashion. Is there a
task force that's going through high level appointees to see

(01:22:07):
who is or isn't aligned with the mission like should
expect more or not?

Speaker 10 (01:22:12):
To my knowledge, I understand there were a few other
individuals who resigned after the firing of Miss Monarez.

Speaker 11 (01:22:18):
One of those individuals wrote in his departure.

Speaker 10 (01:22:21):
Statement that he identifies pregnant women as pregnant people.

Speaker 11 (01:22:26):
So that's not someone who we want in this administration anyway.

Speaker 10 (01:22:29):
So if people are not aligned with the President's vision,
in the Secretary's vision to make our country healthy again,
then we will gladly show them the door.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
God's so good, it's so great. We will gladly let
them leave. They could do whatever they want.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
It's weird for people in the world of science and
medicine to not understand that men cannot pop out babies
that only ladies can do. That's the weird thing to
be an issue or a problem or a conversation of
any kind at all. Oh well, it's the kind of
thing that makes no sense. Let me play this audio.
This is something I found funny. Jennifer Welch said something

(01:23:02):
about President Trump that's weird, and then Scott Jennings had
a response that was very interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
Let's go ahead and play part of that audio.

Speaker 18 (01:23:12):
Two up Cops on January sixth. Meanwhile, this guy, this
should be the lead story. It is clearly suffering from
massive mental decline. He is out of his mind with
all of the show and tell procedures that go on
in the Oval office. Two days ago, he gave three
press conferences in a row. And if you don't think

(01:23:34):
he has dementia, let's just discuss the time that when
he was on the campaign trail that he tried to
perform oral sex on a microphone.

Speaker 16 (01:23:42):
If Joe Biden did this, I hope, I don't think
if this is a democratic strategy, congratulations America. You've already
reelected Republican majorities as far as the avant.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
Yeah, because Trump's approval.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
That is crazy. It's crazy that you're saying what she's saying.
But she went the road she went. And then Scott
Jennings like this is fun.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Let's listen to more of this, And by the way,
I think Democrats would probably be proud of someone in
their own party who might have done whatever they're claiming
that Trump did. Man, that's funny stuff. And that is
just kind of crazy too, that that's the kind of
version of rhetoric that's out there. It seems like the
left is determined to wish Trump into bad health, which

(01:24:25):
again is odd. I'm talking about how the health of
Biden was being hidden from society. Is the kind of
thing that you yourself are watching and saying, how dare
they deny this the way they're denying this. But for Trump,
who gives so many interviews, talk so constantly with the media,
it's much harder to say that they're hiding mental decline
because it would be on display in a lot more places,

(01:24:47):
a lot more often, if he were acting some fundamentally
different way than he's acted for quite a long time.
The other favorite part is whenever Trump goes on a
rant that seems to be disconnected from whatever the thing
is he's supposed to be talking about, and people say
that this is an obvious sign of mental decline or
dementia or anything. How is it any different than the
version of the guy that's been in the White House

(01:25:08):
re course of like what is different? I can go
back five ten years a bunch and play that same stuff,
all right. Craig Collins filling in a lot coming up
on the show, including maybe Trump rands on the Chad
Benson Show more in a bit.

know how to do?

Speaker 15 (01:26:51):
What you've just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.

Speaker 17 (01:26:55):
And then they passed us up a toon and the
question is what will lead do with the time we
carry the baton?

Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
Are you just dumb and bail?

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
Who doesn't love a yellow school bushart? Get show ass
on the cool buff and go home. I call myself
a joyful warrior the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A whole lot
of stuff to talk about. I thought this was interesting.
A list of the things you should not say during
a job interview or you ain't getting the job baby.
One of them is to make a comment or ask
a question about the expectation of a work life balance,
say that you value your balance between being at work

(01:27:44):
and living your life. That is not going to work out.
According to experts. They say that companies are looking for
people that are gonna have their goals aligned with the company,
be productive, have passion, all that stuff for the job.
Here's what I don't understand, and I have two more
things on this list, and maybe this is going to
help me not get a job somewhere in the future.

(01:28:04):
But it's the interview. It's the thing before you eventually
actually work there. This is the moment where you lie.
And I'm not saying like, lie blatantly. I don't want
to go into an interview and say that I know
you know how to be a doctor if I've never
done anything in the world of being a doctor. But
I will say some stuff that I hope is true.
I hope I love this company so much I don't
want to go home on the weekend. And if that's

(01:28:26):
what you want to hear, I'm hoping it. So I'll
say it to you, and then if it's not true,
well you can fire me later, I guess, But this
is not the moment to be defiant in the interview itself,
to say the things you are and aren't going to do,
because yeah, of course, don't hire that person.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
They just want to hear the lie. They probably know
it's a lie, they just want to hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Other things that you shouldn't do is, you know, have
heavy pushback as to the amount of money you're gonna
get paid. Yes, you can ask questions about it, but
you probably shouldn't have a bunch of versions of This
is why I think it should probably be this amount
at least then, although as I say that, I also
am amused by the fact that after you get to
the point where someone's offering you a gig, negotiating the

(01:29:05):
money there it isn't always great either. All Right, we'll
take a break. I'll get more of that stuff in
a bit. It's labor day weekend. Why not talk about
how to get a job? This is Chad Benson Show,
Greig Collins filling it again to go back to the
financial one. So I'm actually going to tell you a
real story real quick. I know I have not a
lot of time to do it. There was a gig
I got, not in radio. This was in something else

(01:29:27):
before radio, in which they offered me the gig, and
I said I tentatively accepted it, but the money had
still not come out. And so then the official email
is sent to me with the money and the number,
and I tried to negotiate. So I fired an email
back and I'm like, you know what, this is a
number I think is more appropriate for this gig. And
the woman who had recruited me calls me.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
Like she was so mad. It's like, why wouldn't you
ask sooner for more money? I was like, you never
told me what it paid.

Speaker 20 (01:29:54):
We never.

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
It was so crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
And then they rescinded the offer, which is probably a
good thing, and fine, and again and this was before radio,
and I'm happy to do radio now and not this
other thing I might have done. But I just thought
that was so funny that, like, they never gave the
person that's me the opportunity to ask for a different
set of money. I would have taken the job with
what they were offering. And I think I even tried to.
I think I even tried to be like, well, all right, fine,

(01:30:17):
I attempted to negotiate. You said that the negotiation was
a no, Like, that's what I took your answer to
be was no, And I'll go ahead and accept the
terms that you had given me. But they're like, ah,
not anymore. You a guy who wanted to ask questions.
We just want very obedient people here in our company.
And so I just again, I thought that was pretty
amusing because at the end of the day, when do

(01:30:37):
you ask about that is what some people ask and
when do you try to ask for more? Usually better
right at the beginning of a gig, to ask for
more money?

Speaker 3 (01:30:44):
All right, quick break? A lot coming up at Craig
Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
Such Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there in the world to talk about, although
sometimes it feels like there's only like a few topics
of conversation. There's only a few things that anyone seems
to care about or anyone seems to want to discuss,
and a lot of things that fall off the ether.

Speaker 3 (01:31:49):
But let's play this.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
I've been amused by a lot of the audio that's
being shared today from Scott Jennings and CNN and the
back and forth from last night. This is Nazi Germany,
the Gestapo being talked about. As far as Scott Jennings
is concerned, Democrats seem like they cannot admit that their
violent political rhetoric is the reason ICE officials have to

(01:32:12):
wear masks, is a reason for a lot of the
things going on.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
They call the masked.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
Law enforcement official now a byproduct of the Trump administration
and say how horrible and terrible it is. And you
know that they're occupying cities, whether it's masked members of
the National Guard.

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
Or anyone else.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
And the reason they're doing it is because the Democrats
are encouraging violence against these people and they are being
hurt because of it.

Speaker 4 (01:32:38):
But here we go on the masks.

Speaker 16 (01:32:40):
I actually interviewed the director of ICE today, Todd Lyons,
on my radio show, for about twenty minutes. I aske
him point blank about the masks. I said, what is
the situation with the masks, Why is it happening?

Speaker 4 (01:32:51):
What is your observation?

Speaker 16 (01:32:53):
He said, I don't like the masks. I wish we
didn't have to do the masks. He said, back in March,
we weren't. But then something changed. And what changed was
people started doxing these ICE agents, posting their personal information,
posting where their families are, posting where their kids' schools are,
putting them and their families in jeopardy. And he doesn't
want them to have.

Speaker 17 (01:33:12):
And that is a risk that every law enforcement officer
in this country faces.

Speaker 4 (01:33:15):
Everyone.

Speaker 17 (01:33:17):
I'm not saying, listen, I'm not saying that that is right.
I'm not saying that it's good, it's terrible. No one
should be docs, no one's families should be brought into
their work. But what I am saying is that there
are beat officers in this country and every city in
America who are doing their jobs in extremely dangerous situations
and they show their face. Why because they work for

(01:33:39):
the people. That is the reason. So the argument here
is that's a risk that you take when you take
on this responsible.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
I just let come out of me left.

Speaker 17 (01:33:50):
Having law enforcement power in this country because the accountability
is between you and the people.

Speaker 4 (01:33:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:33:56):
Well, A I don't agree that law enforcement officers in
any agency should have to face the risk.

Speaker 17 (01:34:04):
But do you think that the accountability piece of it
cannot be ignored.

Speaker 16 (01:34:11):
And regardless of of course, there should be accountability. And
I agree with you about the relationship between policing agencies
in the community. Unfortunately, in this case, certain people in
our community have decided to take matters in their own hands.
I heard a clip today of a congressman named John
Larson from Minnesota screening into a microphone. This is Nazi Germany,

(01:34:32):
They're the Gestapo.

Speaker 12 (01:34:34):
What do you think that does you radicalize that?

Speaker 4 (01:34:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
If you do call the police Nazi Germany and the Gestapo, yeah,
they might feel even more encouraged to harm other people.
And honestly, it's just like public support of certain things
that wind up causing people to be more reckless in
how they behave. But the masked decision, the decision to
put a mask on being a reaction to a risk

(01:34:58):
behavior that's occurring in society, simply allows police officers the
capability of protecting themselves.

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
It's not that they desire to do this.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
If I was wearing a mask to hide and no
one is harming me, there's not stories of the increased
violence that's occurring for members of ICE, then of course
I would even say and this is horrible to say
it that. I would agree with Abby on the comment
that there's a need to be accountable and have your
face be seen. But when you're being targeted and the

(01:35:29):
substance of what you're doing is no longer even being
evaluated on a case by case basis, people are just
deciding you're a wrong, terrible person.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
An ICE agent could be showing up to a community.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
To arrest a pedophile rapist, and the way that people
are treating them right now is you're terrible and wrong
and you're trying to deport some mom of four children
who's a sweet, nice human, even if that's not the case.
And so yes, you take a stance to say, Okay,
if you're going to try to harm me and hunt
down me and my family, I'm going to protect myself

(01:35:59):
and still do the things that I need to do
to enforce the law.

Speaker 3 (01:36:03):
That is brave.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
In my opinion, It's actually much better than the opposite,
which is I'm just gonna quit. There's a whole lot
of people out there who would, in response to this,
be like, you know what, it'd be real nice if
I didn't have this job anymore. I would actually really
really love to quit and not do this and not
put my family at risk and not be a part
of this, which is what the left wants. But instead
of doing that, saying I'm going to throw this mask on,

(01:36:26):
protect my identity, protect my family, and keep doing work,
that's literally like what Batman does or people do when
they want to keep being a good guy and a hero.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
And so I think that's something that deserves to be praised,
not as crazy as it is.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
All right, let's play this Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Pray saying
that they need a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons.
This is a man who doesn't understand that a clip
and a magazine of the same thing to him.

Speaker 3 (01:36:50):
Very confusing. But let's play a little bit of this
audio of a press conference.

Speaker 22 (01:36:54):
We need a statewide and a federal ban on assault weapons.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
A bunch of people clapping in that room. I've never
used a gun before in their life. I'm imagining.

Speaker 22 (01:37:18):
There is no reason that some be able to reel
off thirty shots before they even have to reload. We're
not talking about your father's hunting rifle here. We're talking
about guns that are built to pierce armor and kill people.
Why do we have them coming in by the trunk

(01:37:41):
loads onto our streets around the country.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
And I'm actually gonna answer this question, and I'm gonna
do it exactly the way that he expects me to
do it, and he's gonna get mad about it, but
I'm going to try to make it make as much
sense as I can to him or anyone else out there.
The reason the Second Amendment is so valuable, and yeah,
I'm diving deep. Who cares a labor days coming up?
Hopefully you're still listening to the show with me filling in.
I don't know, but the Second Amendment is something that

(01:38:06):
was created by the founding fathers during a revolution against
a powerful dictator and king that they didn't want to
be in power anymore. And the reason to put it
in there is to always be a check on the government. Now,
in the world we live in today, the amount of
military capabilities of our government compared to us is significant.

(01:38:26):
I understand that that's often the argument the left has.
I think people like President Biden or Obama, if Biden
wasn't loocid enough to say these things, often say if
the people rose up to try to fight our military,
they would lose that fight because we'd be outgunned, not
necessarily outmanned, but outgunned. But I want to take that
a different way. Not only does the ability for us

(01:38:48):
to obtain weapons in which we could potentially fight a
fight if needed to be fought in some capacity, even
if it was an easy loss of a fight, but
still a fight, does it do the thing that the
Second Amendment is intent to do. But it also, I
think to me, demonstrates the reality of potentially getting to

(01:39:09):
a point. Let's say this is the best way I
can do this. I'm going to call this a thought experiment,
and I really want to make sure this point gets
across exactly the way I want it to. Because I'm
not calling for an uprising. I don't want people to
turn on their law enforcement individuals today and try to,
you know, have a war in the streets. I'm not
calling for that. But let's say, in some sort of
you know, apocalyptic sense, this occurred here in this country

(01:39:32):
that you know, someone got into a position of power
that really did try to abuse it. Not Trump, but
someone who actually lived up to the things that they
pretend Trump is, and you had to fight back, and
all these things occurred, and the military was asked to
fight civilians that were armed on the streets with versions
of weapons that are not necessarily automatic, but more capable

(01:39:54):
than say a handgun in a back and forth fight.
If that really occurred, if we were at that level
of revolution again in our society, I think a lot
of things would change. A willingness to attempt to fight
the powers that be is sometimes as significant as successfully
fighting those powers. A willingness to sacrifice yourself others around you,

(01:40:17):
to you know, even protest in the streets where you'll
get arrested in whatever it might be. The willingness to
be the victim to the more powerful authority is in
and of itself the type of stance that eventually changes
things in our society. And so when the Left says
that they don't understand any version of the argument of
why the Second Amendment is so important to protecting the

(01:40:39):
American people from, you know, the outstretched power of government
officials if we don't want them to have certain power,
is exactly that idea that we got to a point
where a president would controversially say into a camera somewhere
that the military is going to have to fight the
civilians who've taken up arms and created militias. Just picture

(01:40:59):
that world, the chaos of it, the craziness of it,
the way the rest of society and internationally people would
react to it, all the different aspects of it, and
what would inevitably be a result there. And by the way,
we've seen versions of this before that didn't even have
guns be a part of it. We've seen versions of
this where people stood without weapons. But honestly, in the
society today and created on purpose by the founding fathers

(01:41:21):
because of the Second Amendment, was the desire to be
capably armed in some fashion so that if you needed
to fight the government, it wouldn't be one hundred percent stupid, idiotic.

Speaker 3 (01:41:31):
You know you're going to lose. There's no way you
can even fight back. Version of the thing. I don't know.
I've always loved that argument. Why does anyone even need
these weapons? How dare you? I want? Have you ever
tried one?

Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
They are a tremendous amount of fun out to play with,
even if you're not shooting anything other than a target.
There's something tremendously fun about the capability of a different weapon.
And too, Yeah, believing that I'm continuing to live up
to the potential ideals of the Founding Fathers and why
they created the Second Amendment in the first place, even
if I rationally know that a fight between me and
a whole bunch of Marines is not going to go

(01:42:01):
my way, not that they'd actually want to fight an
innocent civilian trying to stand up for some anyway, all
that stuff aside. I know this is a deep dive
and a weird topic, but I couldn't get over it,
like just the idea of all of that to me.
Of course, whatever was going on in our society that
made a lot of people in our country feel a
need to actually try to revolt against our government, not

(01:42:22):
do what happened on January sixth, which they didn't bring
any weapons along. We talk about how we have more
guns than people, or at least the Democrats do, and
yet for some reason on January sixth, nobody put a
gun to that party. I wonder why if it was
so easily capable of being a thing that we could
have had we're trying to actually topple the government. But
again I digress. In a world where that all actually happened,

(01:42:43):
where the craziest version of the future occurred, I do
think that inevitably it would wind up having a net
positive end result because it would demonstrate how serious of
the people and I'm not calling for this, but how
people in our society are about whatever the issue is
that brought them to the point of taking up arms,
and I actually prevent the horribleness like the government we

(01:43:04):
have currently is incredibly corrupt, a whole bunch of i'm
bezzling and all that stuff. And I don't think people
will be taking to the streets in militias anytime soon.

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
But all right, I hope that made sense.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
And I just want to say one more time for
any of the hate mail that's about to come in
on this topic. I am not calling for this, but
I do think there's something important about the idea that
the Second Amendment does continue to have value in our
society because people do get the capability of buying weapons,
even super fun fancy ones. All right, quick break a
lot more. This is Craig Collins filling in on the

Chad Benzon Show, Welcome to Tribal free Radio. Information over affirmation,
Facts over fiction.

Speaker 3 (01:45:16):
It's ridiculous, and I want you to know that.

Speaker 1 (01:45:18):
You call it ridiculous, We call it reality.

Speaker 4 (01:45:21):
That's a crock.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
Real over fake.

Speaker 4 (01:45:24):
God help us.

Speaker 22 (01:45:27):
The truth. You can't handle the truth.

Speaker 13 (01:45:31):
The Chad Benson Show, Fighting truth decay the American Way.

Speaker 2 (01:45:38):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. The pocket recession may
have begun is one of the headlines out there. I
think the New York Post and others are discussing some
version of this. President Trump is moving to cancel near
the five billion congressionally approved foreign aid and peacekeeping spending

(01:46:00):
in a rare pocket recision. Excuse me, the Post has
learned making use of a legally debated maneuver that hasn't
been done in forty eight years. Trump on Thursday night
notified Congress of his request to cancel the funds, which
would be good. I like the casual version of that'd
be a good thing, which has been tied up in
court until earlier in the day. A pocket recision is

(01:46:23):
a request that's present presented to Congress so late in
the fiscal year, which ends on September thirtieth, that it's
made regardless of whether Congress acts. The clawback includes three
point two billion in United States Agencies for International development
US AID assistance, three hundred and twenty two million for
USA State Department Democracy funds, five hundred and twenty one

(01:46:46):
million in State Department contributions to international organizations, three hundred
and ninety three million in State Department contributions to peacekeeping activities,
and four hundred and forty five million in separately budgeted
peacekeeping A which sounds like the same thing. We're spending
too much money is the version of a reaction to this.
We're doing too many things. We shouldn't be doing all

(01:47:08):
those things, So clawbacks some money, baby, that's totally fine
with me.

Speaker 3 (01:47:12):
You'll be absolutely fine.

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
All right, let's do one sillier thing before we actually
get out of here, because too many serious topics is
enough to make us all go crazy. I did talk
about the condiments that you might very likely be using
this holiday season, just in time for Labor Day, a
totally different conversation. People say that their favorite is MAO,
I ketchup and mustard or just slightly after it on

(01:47:36):
the list. But what's uniquely funny to me about a
list of condiment sort of conversations is the stuff that's
on the tail end of the list. Our relish was
still very popular, and it shouldn't be. It's terrible, it's
an awful product, But there's a lot of things that
people say are to them, you know, some of the
most delicious tasting items. And hot sauce is making a

(01:47:58):
significant contribution in our society. It's making a greater and greater.

Speaker 3 (01:48:02):
Impact on things.

Speaker 2 (01:48:04):
And I do think it's funny because being married to
a Mexican person, the amount of things that hot sauce
can go on that you didn't think they would go
on is through the roof. My favorite being if anybody
goes to a movie with us, or if anybody watches
a movie with us at our house and they watch
my wife Betty put a ton of hot sauce on
the popcorn, no butter, not anything else. It's just gonna

(01:48:27):
be really spicy popcorn with just hot sauce going directly
on it. And then your fingers are very dirty with
hot sauce. That's hilarious to me because a lot of
people don't see that in the world we live. But
then you go to Mexico and they don't have butter dispensers.
They have hot sauce dispensers in all of the movie theaters.
So that's good that it's on this list. It's a
much better product than ketchup. I'll just go ahead and

(01:48:48):
say that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:48):
All right, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:49):
That's the whole show today. Thrilled to be with you,
happy to be a part of it. As always for Chad,
who will be back after the holidays. Everybody, enjoy yourself, safe,
stafe out there, and don't do any work on Monday.
That's my requirement. Craig Collins, filling in on the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:49:03):
See you later. And actually, before I do go, I
should say just one other thing.

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
I made some jokes earlier on in this episode about
being unaware of certain aspects of my work day to day,
and I want to really thank producer Phil for helping
bail me out of being an idiot and being in
any kind of trouble because it's a lot of fun
so Phil definitely gets a multi day weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:49:26):
Is the last piece of information for me. Don't make
that decision.

Speaker 2 (01:49:29):
The bosses can tell me I'm wrong about that, but
I've decided a producer. Phil doesn't have to come back
to work till he wants to.

Speaker 7 (01:49:34):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (01:49:35):
See you guys later, talk to you again. Craig Collins
filling in on the Chad Benson Show.
