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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about today, a bunch of things.
The President gave answers to a lot of questions as
he's wanted to do yesterday. So we'll get into that
at some point here in the near future. I do
want to play this first, though. Let's start here. This

(00:37):
is a Fox News alert from yesterday.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
I think this is from yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, it's from yesterday, and it's saying that John Thune
decided that everybody can go home, and that seems to
be inconvenient for the President of the United States and
the things that he'd like our politicians to be working
on and voting on and also getting you know, certain
things done by June first, to pass ice.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
CBP funding, etc. Etc.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
A thone maybe in the crosshairs of the president, if
he wasn't already after doing this.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Here we go bring up chaos on Capitol Hill as
Senate Republicans are now set to go home until June.
That's significant because that now puts them on course to
miss a June first deadline that was set by President
Trump to pass a reconciliation funding package to give money
to both ICE and CBP.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
For more on that, we're going.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
To send it out to Fox News Chief Congressional correspondent
Chad Program on Capitol Hill. Chad, sounds like things just
completely fell apart today.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Fill us in what happened?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, Chad tells me real good afternoon.

Speaker 6 (01:35):
Here's what happened. And Craig blanche the acting Attorney General,
was summoned to Capitol Hill to meet with Senate Republicans.
They had a lot of concerns about this compensation fund,
and they were going to have to go through what's
called a voter rama, a lengthy vote series where Democrats
were going to put Republican senators on the record on
every single vote here voting on something related to that

(01:55):
compensation fund.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
And I'll stop it now. And they didn't want to
do that, so they just all went home. And here's
the thing that I love the most about political life.
And I love it in the sense that I actually
hate it and despise it and think it's terrible, but
I'll call it love for the sake of this show.
I love the fact that they can do these sort
of things and keep their jobs. Actually, you know what,
people have made jokes to me before anybody who I

(02:19):
think talks about politics for a living. I have a
radio show in Houston at KSV Radio if you want
to check it out sometime from six to seven o'clock
at night every night, Central Time, and it's on social
media too. This was a very unprofessional plug of myself
I just did there. But anyway, what I should say
about this is when you do this for a living,

(02:40):
people tell you you should be a politician. Like someone
will call in, They'll be like, you should do that.
And the response from so many people, myself included, is
always I would hate that job.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
It sounds terrible, I'd be bad at it, etc. Etc.
And the funny thing is, how could I be worse?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Is part of the thing I start to think, like, actually,
I think I would love this job because you don't
have to do anything a lot of the time, and
you get to keep your job and the rules that
apply to regular people don't apply to you. It's terrible
and I hate it from afar, but I guess I'd
probably love it if I was in that sandbox.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I'm kidding again.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
As I say that, but nonetheless, like it just seems
like anybody could do this job as well as the
people who currently do it, So why not let's just
start loading it up with other individuals to give it
a shot and see how they do also, And this
is a nice thing to point out when you're looking
at some of the terrible things politicians do. You had
James Comer talking about Ilhan Omar and how much money she's.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Been stealing, how much thieving she was doing.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Her net worth went way up and then it went
way down in a very odd way. So I thought
that was pretty funny. Let's play a little bit of
audio from Fox on that topic.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah, it's interesting, Congressman that you say people being held accountable, because.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Congresswoman Elon Omar says says, and.

Speaker 7 (03:56):
I'm quoting here, I'm going to play the sound like
that you have not investigated to anything.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Here's her watch.

Speaker 8 (04:02):
Sounds Republicans looking into the net worth of you and
your husband?

Speaker 9 (04:08):
Are you cooperating with that investigation and providing the doctoral
into anything.

Speaker 8 (04:12):
They're just saying those things to get interviews with you, guys.
There's something really happening.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
They're saying, as a red flag.

Speaker 10 (04:18):
Mitigated anything.

Speaker 8 (04:19):
He hasn't done anything, as I've referred me to anybody.

Speaker 11 (04:21):
He's just saying that so we can get TV interviews,
because you guys will only talk to.

Speaker 8 (04:26):
Them if they say something.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
About says you haven't investigated anything.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Chairman.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's basically all for attention.

Speaker 12 (04:34):
Yeah, she's she's delusional and she knows better.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
She's trying to say she you know, I'll stop it
right there.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Part of me is scared that she's not delusional and
that she's being honest to a certain extent about this.
And I don't I'm not one to trust ilhan Omar,
but I hope that they are investigating every rock, every corner,
everything to try to find her connection.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
I've made several jokes about this. I'll do it again.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Iohan Omar are a Somali politician, being a valuable member
of Congress from Minnesota, a place that now has a
ton of Somali fraud. It's very similar to when John
Stewart would make a joke about the Wuhan lab that
was studying coronavirus, and then people thought that maybe COVID

(05:20):
and the coronavirus came out of a lab and wu Wan,
Like it feels like all the pieces are connected when
you just hear the headline to this story.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I'm not saying I know for sure what's going on.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I can't tell you until they do all the investigations
and come up with all the things. But nonetheless, like
it seems like this is the most logical one two
step possible. But let's let comer actually tell you what
he is doing according to him, so that we believe
hopefully that stuff happens. And then I think the only
way that it matters to Americans is if eventually people

(05:52):
are held responsible, whether that's actually throwing people in the
whosco or some version of some other thing happening, at
least getting in peace each from jobs, like something should
occur if you get caught with a ton of money
in fraud.

Speaker 12 (06:05):
Made a mistake on her financial disclosure form. No one
makes a thirty million dollar mistake on your financial disclosure
for me, especially if.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
You don't have any assets.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
You know, if you're.

Speaker 12 (06:15):
Donald Trump or some very wealthy person, thirty million might
be a rounding era. But for someone who alleges now
she has nothing, that's a pretty big rounding era.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
And it all.

Speaker 12 (06:24):
Stems around two basic things a problem she has. First
of all, she asked for an ear mark for a
project that was later proven to be a fraudulent project
that was involved in that Somali scam up there. And
then secondly, she claimed her assets were huge because of
this winery that we know has been shut down that,

(06:46):
according to rumors and press report, was defrauding investors.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, that also was doing horrible things. So yeah, she
had two significant assets that were worth millions of dollars
according to her, and now she's got nothing again. It
is funny if you are someone who's doing a lot
of fraud and then you got to hide all your
fraud and you just have no other money to hide
it in. You know, like if you're wealthy, it's probably
easier to hide thirty.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Million dollars of stolen money.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's harder to do that when you claim you have
absolutely no cash if you don't have your thirty million
stolen bucks. Another thing out there that I thought was interesting,
this is the Ladies on the View. They are talking
about the current discussion about January six people and getting
paychecks or money from the American taxpayer, and what people

(07:34):
are calling the slush fund that President Trump is now
in charge of. Here's what I'll say about this before
I hit play in this audio where the ladies of
the view go a little crazy or a lot crazy,
which they like to do. I think that on the surface,
if you told me that taxpayer dollars are going to
wind up in the hands of individuals who may or

(07:55):
may not have done something wrong on January sixth, whatever
the degree of that is, you'd have to hear the
individual case to know what the person did. I think
on the surface, you might say to yourself, Yeah, that
doesn't seem right, that seems like we shouldn't just send
money to people. But then if you dove deeper into
those stories and you find out how little some individuals

(08:17):
did and how much the punishment did not match the
crime they were thrown at, the book was thrown at
them to a degree that was so wildly inappropriate that
there is potentially some version of people that would say,
all right, in this situation, maybe this person does deserve
some sort of compensation for the way they were treated.
And I think that's the thing that's always missing from

(08:40):
that discussion. I think when people say that you know
Trump is moving this number over here and that number
over there, and creating a ton of money that he
can then send to people that were part of January sixth.
They're doing it with just the headlines to make you
not dive deeper, to make you not understand the reality
of the individual cases. And I think that that context

(09:01):
is vitally important to figuring out if you support something
or not, because there's a vast difference between someone who
did what mainstream media says like beat up multiple cops
on the way into the Capitol building to try to
kill the vice president, that's their narrative, and someone who
walked through a hallway peacefully and then left at the

(09:22):
end of say, whatever that thing was that happened. And
by and large, most of the people who did anything
on that day did the second thing. So I do
think that there's a big version of a discussion there
that actually puts context into the individual discussions about whether
or not people deserve a check from the American government.
But before I do that, after I say that all,

(09:44):
before we take a break, let's play this. This is
Sonny Houstin and others on the view giving all kinds
of opinions about the reality of this situation and how
ridiculous they want to compare it to other stuff. But
here let's go ahead and play on this audio.

Speaker 13 (10:00):
Need to make it clear that there can be no
comparison between the Black Lives Matter movement and what we
saw in January sixth.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
I just want to make that clear.

Speaker 8 (10:08):
That's not suggestion.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, I want to reach it on why.

Speaker 13 (10:12):
I know that wasn't your suggestion, but you know, people
that watch our show take away different things, So I
just want to make that part clear.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
They were very totally disagree with her.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
By the way, the wanton destruction of the people that
were part of the Black Lives Matter did matter the
things they and then actually all the fraud and embezzlement
that happened for the actual group that called themselves that.

Speaker 13 (10:32):
Limited destruction of property and violence during during the uprising,
the Black Lives Matter uprisings, and no threats to the
president of the disa grand property damage and we don't
need to remedicate you really disagree property. I will say
is that in terms of the January sixth insurrectionists and rioters,
it was one hundred percent convictionary. None of the appeals

(10:54):
were successful, and so those were adjudicated properly.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
And what is interesting to me now, I'm already done.
I'm already done with the annoyingness of everything she's saying there.
They weren't all adjudicated properly. They were treated horribly I
think by the judicial system because every single person that
was walked in there was guilty of a crime, whether
or not they could prove they did the thing that
they were saying they did. They made everyone sound like

(11:19):
they were a mobster trying to overthrow the government, even
though they brought no weapons along with them, which would
probably be a terrible, terrible attempt to try to overthrow
the government weapon free. You would think that that would
be a difficult way to go about it unless you
have a bunch of Bruce Lees with you, and even
then I don't think that they succeed. All Right, there's
a lot to talk about, there's a lot for us
to get.

Speaker 3 (11:38):

Speaker 2 (11:39):

Speaker 1 (13:15):
The Chad Benson Show, We're independent. All the cart thinkers
have a seat at the table and a voice in
the dialogues.

Speaker 8 (13:22):
I'll have what she's having.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. Britney Spears offered police
officers lasagna while they were pulling her over. This is
a real thing. This is a story that actually happened.
I think I even have some audio of this. She
had a dui arrest back in March. The dui arrest

(13:48):
has now gone viral, as California Highway Patrol has put
out the video. When being asked to get out of
the car to submit to some testing, Brittany said, how
about some lasagna at my house? And a dip in
the pool, which is it's an on road to go
for everybody that was all free Brittany a certain number
of years ago. Some of Brittany being free has not

(14:10):
worked out so great for Brittany. I don't know who
actually should be helping her now. The people that were
quote helping her before, we're doing a terrible job and
hurting her. I agree with all that, but she doesn't
seem to be a healthy person on her own. Let's
play a little bit of this Aulio from the pup
looking like a car.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
You look there, So I'm not unless seek with all
these people.

Speaker 11 (14:29):
What if we have to get up my baby break
come in, I hope.

Speaker 17 (14:34):
What if we have to.

Speaker 7 (14:35):
Get out of the car.

Speaker 17 (14:36):
We'll put you in one of our cars and will
drive around the corner so we're somewhere of the.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
I'll only get in this so I said, in to
my house.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I'll make you soon to Lisagna whatever you want.

Speaker 18 (14:47):
I have a pool.

Speaker 11 (14:47):
My babies are coming to my house tonight.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
By the way, I know that audio sounds really weird.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
The audio is enhanced multiple times to get it to
the degree where you can actually hear it, so it
might not sound like Britney, but it is. The video
is showing Britney spears and she offered lasagna and a
dip in the pool. That doesn't work. Just as an fyi,
if the police want to have you get out of
the car for a DUI test or some sort of
influenced test, you can't just offer them to come over

(15:17):
for a swim.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
That doesn't actually get you had anything.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Unfortunately, I wish that now, I'm kidding, I'm glad. Actually
it doesn't work, because drinking and driving is a horrible
thing to do. But the free Britney people again very
silent on all the Brittany decisions that she's making well
being free. There's other stuff out there. I saw a
story about the most amazing dishes that we're going to
cook for a Memorial Day weekend. So we'll talk about

(15:41):
that a little bit. We'll get into a lot of
other things in just a few minutes. This is Craig
Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show. But actually,
before I do take a break, why didn't I mention
a couple of these states and the favorite food items
they have. Because some people are absolutely doing things horribly.
You ask people what their favorite side dish for moyal
day is and if you get back asparagus, someone has

(16:04):
made a terrible decision. Iowa, I think that's on the
top ten list for them. I don't think it's number one,
thank God, because there's no deranged lunatics even in Iowa.
To say that six point five percent of people in
Maine like a buffalo chicken dip, a seven point one
percent chance that you'll get cowboy caviar if you go
to North Dakota, and finally a seven point six percent

(16:25):
chance that you'll get in the low Ta that's Mexican corn.
If you're having food in Oklahoma, Potato chips made the
top of the list because we're lazy. Potato salad, all
kinds of things also on this list in multiple places,
and actually just straight up actual salad was the number
one option in places like New York, California, Hawaii, Arizona,

(16:45):
and Nevada Pete, places that I would be very sad
to go.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
These are not things I would want to have If.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Salad is your top side dish option, This is not
a party I'm having fun at. That's at least what
I start to think in my brain when you hand
that out. I do also like the people said that
mayonnaise in a potato salad thing was something that people
weren't necessarily sure about because it's.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Not healthy to them.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
That's not the point, people, when you eat out, you
want to enjoy food. You don't need to be super
healthy for that day. All right, There's a lot of
other things, as I said, to talk about, a lot
of newsworthy stuff to get to. Marco Rubio talked a
bit about what's going on in Iran and what's going
on in Cuba. We'll get to that more. The Chad
Benson Show, Craig Collins feeling it.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
A Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
The House did go ahead and scrap Republicans in the
House a vote to reign in President Trump's war in Iran.
They could have essentially forced the president to pull back
unless he gets congressional approval. They decided not to vote
on that. They decided to go ahead and punt further

(18:27):
down the road. Here's The thing that I think matters
about this story real quick before I play some audio
and we get into more about Iran in general, is
I think we are getting close to the finish line.
I know that people like me on radio stations like
this have been saying that for a while, not all
the people. Other people have been saying that they think

(18:49):
that this will take a long time. And of course
Democrats have been calling it a forever war even though
we're a few months in. But I do think you
have to be close to the end because the United
States is winning by any metric you use, against a
regime that has a whole lot of people that are
no longer in charge because they're dead. And if the
new people who are in charge don't do the things

(19:10):
they want that we want, they probably won't be around
to make decisions for a while. So there's a certain
level of strength just in the situation itself. And yes,
that means that you wait longer and longer for that
reality to set in on the other side. But that's
truly the only challenge left here. It's not like there's
a jeopardy that the US will somehow start losing this war.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
We won't.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
It's not at all even close to happening, and so
I think that that's an important aspect to just mention
before I play some audio of CNN and some debate
on this topic that truthfully, time sadly, for anyone paying
high gas prices, which is all of us here in
this country and a lot of people around the world,
time is on our side and it's not on the

(19:57):
side of Iran. They want the panicked version of a
quick ending as soon as possible because it's the best
case scenario for them.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Here's a little bit of the argument on.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
CNN and someone slapping down the stupidity of the democratic
message or the democratic notion that Iran is somehow doing
better than they are.

Speaker 19 (20:14):
It's okayed by the president the present made it clear
Iarana is not going to get a new clear weapon.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's number one.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
How is he going to? Number two? How was he
going to.

Speaker 19 (20:24):
As long as he's president in the United States of America,
I have no doubt.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Where where's the high Land again? I go back to the.

Speaker 20 (20:32):
Rot material that's been decimated and that I don't really believe.

Speaker 19 (20:38):
That Iran is sitting back right now on a five
levels deep of dead guys and going, man, we're.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Really in charge right now.

Speaker 8 (20:46):
That they are.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I like the yelling and bickering on the CNN when
everybody at the same time is speaking over each other
and you might not be able to hear what everyone's saying.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
That's usually a bad move in media.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
But nonetheless, yes, I think people are insane if they
think that Iran is sitting back and thinking that they're
actually doing a great job. The only thing they're counting on,
and this is something that we actually saw with Hamas
when they were fighting Israel before, is weaponizing media. And
I mean that legitimately they want people college students in

(21:20):
our country and all around the world to feel sorry
for them somehow and to say that we need the
fighting to stop, or in the case of Iran a
little bit different than Hamas, they want to somehow demonstrate
strength through mayde when it's not true. They don't have
a position of strength from a military standpoint, and anyone
who looks at this for more than a couple seconds

(21:42):
can see and understand that. But media makes it sound
like they're basically drawing.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
With the United States right now.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
It's basically a tie, and who knows what happens if
this lasts longer, and that's ridiculous. That is the media
doing the work of the bad guy to benefit the
bad guy here, to get the public opinion to be
so strong that politicians back down for political reasons, not
for any other reason, and Trump so far has been

(22:08):
immune to that. I think this is why you see
people in the second term of an administration, even with
the break in between for our current president, do things
differently than they would maybe in their first term. And
I don't think Trump actually falls into this category either,
but I do think it's true that when you stop
worrying about political fallout, you make different decisions. And even

(22:29):
going into a run in the first place Iran and
trying to get rid of their nuclear weapons and take
all their uranium and probably destroy it, Trump did say
that that he would take everything and then probably he'd
get rid of it, although he wasn't committing to that,
which I thought was funny.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
But anyway, when you.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Do all that, you're doing it because politics be darned,
who cares anymore. We're doing this for a different reason
than anybody who would get mad that they're pulling numbers
might go down, and that's actually typically a good thing
to me again, depending on what I guess. The reason
is that you do something thing, in the case of
President trumpets to stop a country that would do very

(23:04):
bad things if they ever got a nuclear weapon. And
we can see that by how they're controlling the strait
of harmus and causing problems around the world simply because
they want to spread the pain that's being inflicted on them.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
All right, let's play this audio.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
This is Marco Rubio being asked by a reporter about Cuba,
about Raul Castro and how we're actually going to enforce
the indictment that we put down on him, get him
here and make him stand trial for the crimes we
say he committed. You know what's funny about this, as
media acts like this is ridiculous for people to assume

(23:37):
like could happen. Like Role's not going to just come
over to the US. He's not going to hit up
a party in Miami and then wind up getting arrested.
But we have a couple things in recent in our
recent past that demonstrate if we want somebody here, we
might be able to get them here somehow, some way.
I love that media is pretending that's not true as

(23:57):
they ask these kind of questions, and how do.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
You intend to get Castro to the United States?

Speaker 21 (24:02):
Well, that was a grand jury in South Florida returned
an indictment. Or Raoul Castro has nothing to do with us,
it's a grand jury. The evidence is too he admits
to it. Raoul Castro openly admits and brags about he's
shot down, Uh civilian gave the order to suit down
civilian airplanes and get well, I'm not going to talk
about how we're going to get him in here. If

(24:24):
we were trying to get him here, why would I
say to the media what our plans are about that.
I know you have to ask, but why would I
answer that? The bottom line, there's a lot. He's at
that point he becomes a fugitive of American justice. And
for you know, if there's an announcement, I'm probably I
will tell you, we'll tell you afterwards.

Speaker 9 (24:37):
Nothing.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, we would tell you after not before.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I love And this happens a lot, and media gets
this question a lot or throws this question out there,
and then you hear members of the Trump administration, including Rubio,
give the answer he just gave. I would love the opposite.
They like whip out the map. They're like, well, we're
going to position people here, here, here, This is how
we're going to go in. This is where we're going
to go. Man, I really hope the enemy is not

(25:00):
watching right now as I do this. But anyway, let's
get back to it. Here's the whole plan, here's everything
we intend to do. Here's where we found weaknesses, and
they're current, you know, set up to protect him. And again,
one more time, I just hope that Cuba has turned
off their televisions before we do that. You do like
a trust tree thing. You're like everybody in Cuba, earmuff yourselves.

(25:21):
And then I'm going to answer this question for our
media more on here, so that they know something that
they're trying to pretend it is impossible.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Like the question also.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Is created in a way where the media wants the
person to say, the politician to say, well, that's impossible
and we can't do it, and they're not going to
say that either.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
It's just it's crazy, all right. One other thing I
do think this is interesting.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Spencer Pratt is doing surprisingly well in a run for
a political job, so well in fact in California that
a lot of media really hates him because people seem
to like his message. I want to play audio of
something he said recently because this is a very universal
theme or a very universally exciting thing to talk about.

(26:07):
That politicians have failed everywhere, and terrible things are happening
throughout our country because of the failed work of the fraudulent,
you know, bad people that exist in DC and everywhere else.
And I would like to run some part of our country,
some small place or a big city in this case,
and I'd like to run it much better. This is
a good message. This works very often in politics. Here's

(26:29):
Spencer Pratt.

Speaker 9 (26:29):
Everyone's missing who's voting for me? The only people that
aren't are the socialists, the lunatics, and the communists. But
any normal functioning brain that doesn't want to step in
human poop when they get their macha it is voting
for me.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Which is a.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
Lot of people.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, I'm one of those. I mean, I'm not voting
because I'm not in California. I'm not going to vote there.
But anyway, I think a lot of people would agree
with that, that you would rather not step in any
version of poop. Actually, I don't care who created it. Now,
While I'm getting my mach a lot. That's something that
I don't want to do, and so let's not do it.
Let's have ourselves not do any of those things. I
love everything about this, and I love that Spencer Pratt's

(27:09):
campaign is so shocking for a couple reasons. I guess,
the first one being that, yes, he's a reality TV
guy who if you go back and watch anything that
made him famous, you don't exactly think that what you're
watching is someone who might one day be the mayor
of Los Angeles. Like that, that doesn't strike in the
face as like, oh, that's what he's destined to do.

(27:29):
But we're here, and Spencer Pratt's message is working and
it's making a lot of people very mad, and the
only way that they're trying to attack him is to
shape him as like a Trump junior or a Maga
guy or whatever you say. And I think that's really interesting.
One last thing to kind of say connected to this
is the long awaited review of Kamala Harris's campaign was

(27:53):
finally made public by Democrats. They tried to hide it
after they did the research and wondered why they lost
so bad to President Trump and lost all the swing States,
and so they did a deep dive and they came
up with exactly the stuff we all would have known
they were going to come up with. And the main
strategy that they admitted they had was to bash Trump
and to shape Trump as a bad, horrible, terrible person

(28:15):
and not really tell anyone. Although I think that part
of the reason they did this too is because Kamala
Harris wanted to do crazy radical stuff and she didn't
want to say it out loud of but not tell
anyone what Harris would have done as the person in
charge in the White House. They essentially just went with
a one type of campaign of bash the other guy

(28:35):
and call him the devil. That is essentially what you're
now seeing in Los Angeles against Spencer Pratt because the
no nonsense, common sense things he says are things that
a lot of people like, and he's done very well
in his campaigning. He's done very well in his ads
that he's put up on social media and other places.
I think that it's really interesting to watch the success

(28:58):
of what I would call like an everyman who is
famous because of his connection to reality TV, that is
trying to get a decent political office in this country.
Like a position of significant power, being in charge of
one of the biggest cities in the country, and so
it'll be I don't know if he'll actually win, but
if he does, it would be sort of fascinating to

(29:20):
watch the left continue to have their minds explode because
of it, because they're just so upset that these common
messages actually resonate with so many Americans. And I guess
and that's the last thing I'll say before we take
another break. This is the big thing that confuses me
when I talk to people who think that there's going
to be a huge blue wave in the midterm elections,

(29:40):
and say, a lot of young voters who did vote
for Trump a couple of years ago might not vote
for Conservatives. Again, Democrats didn't exactly do a good job
when they were in charge. This is what caused everybody
to change their minds, at least for the people who
did and vote the other way. And so now you're
going to say that all those people will swing right
back to that side that they were supposed to vote for,

(30:02):
that the demographics say they were supposed to vote for,
and people didn't the degree that they were expected to
do so, and they just want to put the people
back in power who blew up the thing in the
first place.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
That seems like a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
That seems like if you fire the boss of your
company for you know, bankrupting the company, and then you
bring in somebody else and you think he's not doing
a great job, you bring back the guy who bankrupt you.
That doesn't seem like the right move obviously. All right,
Well take a break. A lot more to get to
on the show. This is the Chadminton Show. My name
is Craig Collins. Filling it.

Speaker 14 (30:35):
Let me tell you about George from Morgan and his
Relief Factor story. George is a hard working guy who
spends ten hours a day in a garbage truck. It's
a tough job, but he got a whole lot worse
when his right knee started to act up. I'm talking
about he couldn't even bend it. That's a problem. But
there's where it turns. George started taking Relief Factor. He said,
and I quote, I can bend my knee again with

(30:55):
very little pain.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
That's the difference I feel with relief Factor.

Speaker 14 (30:58):
I am back to active, back to training, back to
keeping up with the kids, especially during a busy summer.
Relief Factor is a daily drug free supplement that targets
the inflammation that can cause the pain, so you can

Speaker 8 (31:44):
Hashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help.

Speaker 22 (31:47):
I'm trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get
out The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. I wonder how
many people have had bad landlords out there. I've had
a couple, especially when I was living in Chicago. I
remember one landlord told us when the windows were so
poor that cold was getting in the winter and the
heat wasn't working, that we were young, so we would

(32:16):
be fine even if we were sleeping outside. And I
remember I responded back to that landlord by saying, it
feels like we are sleeping outside, and then I reported
some stuff and lo and behold, our heat got fixed and.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Our windows got fixed.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
But nonetheless, no matter how bad the landlords I've had
have been, none of them have been this bad. A
Michigan landlord was caught on a tenant's home security camera
having sex in his house with a female friend. So
the landlord decided, for some reason to go to the
house of someone who was renting from him and do

(32:48):
the deed with another person. And thankfully that was all
caught on camera, not thankfully for the landlord, but for
the tenant to be able to complain about it. I
do have some audio of this were people are talking
about what happened.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Just what I find interesting too.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Just a note, A TV reporter did confront the landlord
over this alleged incident that has video proof of the
thing happening. The guy was wearing a Darth Vader T shirt. Yes,
he's apparently a member of the dark Side. I found
that pretty funny that the dude's like, yeah, I do things,
who cares, I'm living life Darth Vader style. Although I

(33:24):
don't know if Darth did that. I'm not a huge
Star Wars fan.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Some of the people would have to tell us in
the comments. But let's see.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Let's go ahead and play on this video or this
audio of the homeowner and his wife talking about their
discovery of the landlord's decision to use their apartment in
ways he should not have done.

Speaker 11 (33:41):
He walked back and forth through here and naked and
might have been trying to make a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
But I don't know.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
It's creepy.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
She just planted the phone to me and not seeing
him just doing what he.

Speaker 16 (33:50):
Was doing right here in our house.

Speaker 11 (33:51):
It was live live footing, my god, time staff and everything. Well,
why if she's drhmophobic saw I had the most definitely
claning before she just stepped in this house, period. So
I know for a fact that somebody that comfortable what
else could be done.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
It is gonna be hard.

Speaker 11 (34:04):
I'm gonna probably write some languages on the back of
the check for him, especially him on.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I think you withhold the check. To be honest, I
don't think you pay the guy for that month. I
think you charge him for one day Airbnb and it
winds up being expensive.

Speaker 12 (34:18):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Two things that I got out of this video that
I thought were uniquely funny. First, the landlord was comfortable
enough in the home to walk around naked and go
make a sandwich in the kitchen. That is something that
I don't even know what to say to the idea
of that. And again, it makes that landlord that I
mentioned that I had a little while ago seemed like

(34:39):
an angel compared to this guy. And then the other
thing that I thought was really funny about the totality
of this is that the guy admits that his girlfriend
is germophobe, so he had to deep clean the house
for his wife is a germophobe.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
My wife would move out.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
There would be no chance we'd be living in there
for another day. If you saw this on video time
stamp video. You know what's actually kind of interesting to
me too. I'll just throw this out there. A lot
of like ring doorbells and cameras that you set up
as security in your house. They have a microphone function
which means you can talk and it can put your

(35:14):
voice into whatever room the camera's in. I wonder why
they didn't do that, why they didn't like start to say, hey, hey,
stop what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Please no more doing that here, that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I think it would have freaked the landlord out, But
at least you would have stopped some of the cleaning
that you might have had to do in the other rooms.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Of the house that he wound up in.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
But all right, that is the craziest landlord story I've heard.
Is the Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.
More coming up in a bit. I just called myself
the Craig Collins. That was pompous and I did it
by accident. Once again, the Chad Benson Show. My name
is Craig Collins, filling in before we take a break.
There was one other story that I thought was really funny.

(35:52):
We'll probably play audio of this in a little while.
But a McDonald's manager got fired in Massachusetts. Her name
is Kylie An I eat, which might be part of
the reason she went crazy. She was fired because she
contaminated the food of her ex who went to that
McDonald's to eat something. I think this is the ex's fault.
Don't go to your ex'es McDonald's to buy food. Go

(36:14):
to any other McDonald's. Craig Collins filling in on the
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (36:21):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in. I love a story that producer Phil just
sent me. We'll get to it in about ten teen
minutes something like that, or so, I love it. Great job,
and you probably shouldn't read some of those things right
when you're coming back from a break. Lots of things
to talk about. I don't know if I said this.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in on the Chad

(37:11):
Benson Show. Let's get right to some audio I have.
This is a blow up that happened on CNN about
how much of a disaster Joe Biden is or was
because he was, And how funny it is that people
are talking about potentially voting a certain way when they
might have actually voted for Trump in twenty twenty four

(37:33):
because they want to put the more drunk, more reckless,
more terrible people back in charge, then whatever version of
thing they think they got right now. And we're not
even four years in, we're not complete. The journey is
only half over. So who knows if the economy and
everything and gas prices will be much better by twenty

(37:54):
twenty six. We don't or excuse me, twenty twenty eight.
We don't know those answers yet, so we'll see even though, member,
things could be very different than they are right now.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Let's go ahead and play on some of this audio.

Speaker 16 (38:05):
The spine melted and everybody fell in line.

Speaker 19 (38:09):
Dude, that would be some guys saying Joe Biden was
a good candidate. If you want to talk about fallowing
the line, note spine. You guys told us that Joe
Biden was like sane and mentally competent when he clearly
wasn't and lied to the American people and then covered
up being competent.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Lecture me about like more to hear from.

Speaker 19 (38:26):
Joe Biden was a disaster, and you guys covered it
up and looked into cameras all of the Democrats said,
he is, he runs laps around me, he's on his
A game, he's so good at this.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
And then you want to sit.

Speaker 19 (38:37):
Here and say that like, man, I wish he's Republicans.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Yeah, I love the fact that you start to act
like this is ridiculous, and it's it's absolutely true that
people all over television and a bunch of politicians were
saying that Joe Biden was the smartest guy in every
room he was in.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Which is terrifying if it's true.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
I'll just say that again, if any one ever said
that legitimately, that is horrifying to think how much dumber
everyone else had to be in that room to slide
under him. But nonetheless, I think that CNN is missing
an opportunity and that's Abby Phillips show and all the
people who argue on it. Now, I think they should
have gladiator jousts that happen halfway through, you know, like

(39:20):
actually do an American gladiator style where if enough people
argue with each other and yell at each other, you
then give them those foam things and put them on
the platforms and have them hit each.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Other until somebody falls off.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
I don't know if we actually decide who's right and
wrong in the political debate based on that, but I'd
be wildly entertained.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
So that is my vote for that show.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
That they have to add in a gladiator jousting at
some point if you interrupt each other too much and
yell too much. Other things out there that I saw
President Trump, this is how it's referred to online.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
This is not my words, but I'm going to use them.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
President Trump danced on the grave of The Late Show
and Stephen Colbert's run end. In a two am social
media post and truth social President Trump said Colbert is
finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long.
No talent, no ratings, no life. That's mean he was

(40:14):
like a dead person. You could take any person off
the street and they would be better than this total jerk.
Thank goodness, he's finally gone. I did not watch Colbert's
show last night. I contemplated watching it, and then I
decided to go to sleep like I've been doing for
years instead of watching late night television because it's not
at all what it used to be, and I imagine

(40:35):
a whole lot of other people are out there.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
I've seen a few different clips now as of today
from Colbert's show.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
But here's the thing that I think is really interesting
about it, and the amount that Paul McCartney, I guess,
was used. Of course, Beatles legend, who is famous for
what he did inside the Ed Sullivan Theater, which seemed
to actually benefit a lot of people himself included.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
I didn't lose money.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Colbert was rumored to be losing every year, like forty
to fifty million dollars was the amount of money the
Late Show is thought to be losing before it inevitably
was canceled. But the thing I think is so interesting
about it is that Paul McCartney, a Beatle, might be
a better example of someone who probably has a wider
appeal than Colbert ever had. I think that people on

(41:22):
both sides of the political aisle still seem to like
the Beatles and the Beatle music enough that that's kind
of the lesson there is that if you wanted to
be more well liked, I'm not saying Paul McCartney himself
actually does this, but if you wanted to be more
well liked, you probably should have avoided telling half of
the country that they're morons so often. And of course

(41:42):
many people are also putting up the vaccine dance thing
that Colbert did on his show when he was shilling
for the vaccine, and of course Colbert has never talked
about the entire time he had the run of the
Late Show, all of the different things we've learned now
about the COVID vaccine. So the vaxxine seen I think
is what they actually called it, where they were dancing

(42:03):
and promoting Getting one is. It seems to be the
most egregious moment on that show, to say the least
about how it did political messaging and not actually designed
to entertain people. And I don't know when we lost that,
Like I don't know when we lost the plot on that.
I'll tell you that in this job, a job like

(42:24):
what Chad Benson does so awesome every single day, the
goal is to entertain you.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
That absolutely is the goal.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
To make jokes, to have fun, to talk about things
that are not, in fact just politics, because if we
do that for three hours every day, we'll all go crazy.
But this is a political talk show, so the design
is also to give you the news and to give
my opinion on the news. That's the intent of it.
That is not what late night television was supposed to be.
But all of the shows have become that, all of

(42:51):
the shows have decided that they need to have their
opinion injected into these conversations too, And you don't succeed
that way. It's a broken record version of a thing
to say. And I've said it before, other people have
said it before, but I love one specific example of it.
I like the Michael Jordan example. Republicans buy shoes too.

(43:13):
Every time he was asked while playing in his NBA
career if he wanted to weigh in on politics, his
answer was no, because it's not going to benefit him.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
And that's simply true.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
And so had Colbert done a different version of a
late night show, could he have had more success. Probably,
I don't know if it would have been enough to
not get him canceled enough to have actually made money.
When you're losing as much as they say they're losing.
I think all late night TV is going to go away.
I think we're a certain number of years removed from
potentially seeing Kimmel and Fallon also fired, or other versions

(43:47):
of those guys also fired.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
The only thing that might.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Save them, The only thought I have on this that
it might actually wind up going the other way is
if you have just one, if you get rid of
either Kimmel or Fallon and all of the audio against it,
does stay up late enough to watch late night TV
that has an interest in hearing political opinion when they'd
rather go to sleep and be entertained. Anybody who's still
in that bucket of people. If you have just one

(44:11):
product to choose from, maybe it's successful enough to keep
it going. But it is simply sad part of it too.
And I saw the switching off the lights at the
Ed Sullivan Theater and the emotion and everything that people
were claiming existed there, and it's just so hollow because
it's so different than what it used to be. Am
I sad that something that at one point I liked

(44:33):
has gone away. Yes, I'm sad that something that at
one point David Letterman made entertaining in a way that
he hasn't even been entertaining in years now. But I'm
not sad at the current version of the thing. It
died a long time ago, according to me and a
lot of other people. This is just the final result
of that. But I do think that President Trump, also
saying what he said, is amusing.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
I can't help it. For some reason.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
I find it amusing, probably mostly because every time they
accuse the President of doing something for political reasons, he
doesn't seem to remotely care at all about trying to
prevent that from being said. I don't think the show
went away because of Trump and politics, but I do
think him tweeting at two am about how crappy the

(45:16):
show is encourages the people who are saying that to
say more stuff. And again, it's just not something that
Trump cares even remotely about. All right, another story out there.
Trump says he'll be deploying five thousand troops to Poland.
This is shortly after withdrawing five thousand troops from Germany.
If the troops have to be in Europe, Poland is
the place for them, is part of what he said.

(45:38):
I think I have some audio from President Trump talking
about this a little while ago here.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Let's play that.

Speaker 23 (45:45):
If you'll decide to put troops from Germany when you
most have to Poland or maybe some other contests on
decent flank, well, Poland would like that. We have a
great relationship with Poland. I have a great relationship with
the president. Do you remember I endorse him any one,
and he came.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
From way behind anyone.

Speaker 23 (46:05):
He's a great fighters, a great guy.

Speaker 5 (46:07):
I like him a lot.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
So that's yeah, it's all right, we're good there. The
President has a much better relationship with Poland than he
does with Germany. Right now, Poland likes to have our
troops is what the mention is there. I think that
all makes sense. I love when these stories become a
big talking point for people and people wonder what the

(46:28):
intention of this is or how this actually works, because
it's very simple.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
I will say it this way.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
The United States is counted on by almost everybody that
we have a good relationship with on the world stage
to do some level of protection for them. Where the
bully in the room, where the people that everyone expects
to rush in and save the day if something terrible
were to happen.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
And just showing.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
People occasionally that we might not be free, you know,
service providers in that sense that we we might actually
sometimes decide not to do something in some way, it
gets people to fall in line who might be more
willing to crap on us or say negative things. Showing
them that our power is not at their beck and

(47:13):
call is important, and I think it does help create
an opportunity to have different conversations than the ones you
might be having when people take us for granted. I
think a lot of the world takes the United States
for granted, and I think that that's obviously a very
bad thing.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
All right.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
One other thing that I thought was pretty funny. Definitely
not a serious topic, but darn it, let's talk about
something silly before we take a break. A town ended
one hundred and forty year booze ban. I didn't know
places still had booze bands, to be honest with you,
but a town in Alabama did Fulkville I think is
the name of it. But they ended it, and they
ended it by one single vote. When people say votes

(47:52):
don't matter, they have no idea about the vote to
get rid of an alcohol ban that passed one sixteen
to one fifteen. And I really hope the guy who
passed it is like the type of person from the
Simpsons who you expect really really wants this thing to pass,
the Barney type of guy who's burping as he says,

(48:13):
I vote yes to selling booze in our community.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
This seems like an odd thing to have taken this long.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
And I wonder how the one hundred and fifteen people
took it that lost to the one sixteen, Because I
know how the one hundred and sixteen people celebrated, they
had a lot to drink. I don't know what the
one hundred and fifteen people did as they stood over
it and got said, all right, We'll take another break,
a lot to get to, a lot to talk about.

Deep States No Deep Doo doo e the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
This is the Chad Benson Shoe.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, Thrilled to be
with you bunch of stuff out there to talk about
forty five million Americans. We'll travel at least fifty miles
from home this weekend. Triple A expects forty five million
of us to mostly I think, drive, even as gas
prices are not what you'd want them to be to travel.
Three point seven million will fly, another two point two

(50:18):
million will use some other form of transportation that's a bus,
a train, something, But the vast majority of forty million,
thirty nine point one will hop in your car and
go somewhere. And I do like this as a plan,
I don't actually intend to do it. This year, I
moved very far away from my family.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
I now live in Houston, Texas.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Most of my family does not live within a regular
amount of driving to me, and I kind of like
the freedom of that.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
I'll tell you this on the radio very quickly, because
probably you barely care about me at all, the fill
in guy on the.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Show, and that's not your fault, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
But I like the freedom, and anyone else out there
like I like that it's too far to drive because
I never could overcome the guilt of someone inviting me
to something within my family for any kind of holiday,
and if I could drive there within a few hours,
feeling like you got to go. So for anyone out
there that doesn't want to go to stuff as much
as you do, that's the hack. Move far enough away

(51:20):
to where you can't hop in the car and drive there,
even though my wife has family around us and I
think we're driving to them. So it's really it's a
push pull in the world of what I actually succeeded
or didn't on this. But good luck to everybody out
there paying the high gas prices and driving around certain places.
Another story I saw a producer Phil actually found for me,
which is hilarious. Hilarious because of the I guess ridiculousness

(51:42):
of the story. You know, alcoholism itself is not funny.
I'm not trying to make fun of it, and I
think the substitute teacher definitely has.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
A drinking problem.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
But a substitute teacher was found passed out drunk in
a middle school pickup lane. That feels like the kind
of thing if you see the middle school substitute teacher
down and drunken passed out in the pickup lane as
you're getting kids out of the school, she probably deserves
to be fired at that point. When they tested her
blood alcohol content it was point three sixty seven.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
This is to me the most amusing part.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
She also had a bottle of skull vodka in her
car when they went ahead and searched it again. The
actual illness itself not funny. The person in Florida, of course,
of all places, this is a Florida story where this
happened probably needs a decent amount of help. But at
the same time, I kind of question how it could
get to this level of ridiculous. And they originally called

(52:37):
it a medical episode around ten o'clock in the morning
before inevitably saying what it actually was that was going on.
I wonder how the school lets it get that far
before they catch the person doing the thing. You know,
I feel like you've got to be able to notice
at some point, maybe one of the other days the
substitute has been there, things are not right if her
blood alcohol content is almost point four, which is insane.

Speaker 6 (53:00):
All right.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
One last thing that we'll probably have to wait to
play for a little bit, but I'll just tease now
because I find it uniquely amazing too. A viral video
of a young woman is all over the internet because
she overcame her fear of roller coasters.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
And I don't want to undersell this to you at all.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
It is kind of amazing and hilarious the amount of
emotion she had pouring out of her as she went
through this entire thing. But this young woman who was
on video camera sitting in a roller coaster and then
taking off from said roller coaster seems to have so
many different feelings and then inevitably.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Actually get through the actual roller coaster itself. It was crazy.
It was interesting, to say the very least.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
But that is another thing out there that happened that
I'll probably have to sit on the audio for because
I just don't think we have enough time to play
it now. A viral video of a young woman, and
I remember when I was a kid getting over the
fear of the roller coaster it's a fun time and
then eventually it's the most amazing thing you do waiting
in line for several hours. Quick break a lot more.

(54:02):
Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
A Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. So many things
out there for us to talk about. Let's play this first.
This is a Fox News alert about Senate Republicans being
allowed to go home because John Thune said, we.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Don't need to do any work here.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
President Trump wanted ICE funding and CPB funding passed before
June first. That's going to be impossible if no one
is working. It's got to be great to be a
politician and get to go home all the time when
the job seems to not be done here.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
We'ing have chaos on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
As Senate Republicans are now set to go home until June.
That's significant because that now puts them on course to
miss a June first deadline that was set by President
Trump to pass a reconciliation funding package to give money
to both ICE and CBP for more on that, we're
going to send it out to Fox.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
Let's go ahead and not do more on that this time.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
But this is funny to me because I was thinking
about it in a different sense. Let's say that if
politicians are allowed to go home when their work's not done,
that only politicians have to deal with other people being
allowed to do the same thing to them. What I
mean by that is like, the next time there's a
fire at a politician's house, I want the firefighters to
show up, spray a little bit of water on it,

(55:52):
and then get to leave. They're like, you know, this
isn't done. Your house is still on fire, but I
got to be off the clock, so we.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Got to be done here.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
That would be amazing to me to watch all the
firefighters pack up and go and the politician be like, wait,
but the house is still on fire. And then how
do you like it? How does it feel when we
do it to you? Would be the other sense of
the thing that I say. President Trump not happy about
this at all, of course, and other people not happy.
Because certain funding is important to protect our country.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
That is valuable. We do need to get that done.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
But you see this all the time, politicians get to
do whatever they want however they feel, and then they
don't get fired, although occasionally they do. A Maassi and
others are losing their jobs because Republicans in primary voting
are saying, we're very unhappy with the end result of
not doing more of what we wanted you to do,
because we elected Trump via the popular vote and you're

(56:46):
not doing the stuff he wants. Whether or not that'll
actually play out in a midterm election when people beyond
one side of the political aisle vote and stuff, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
It's a great question.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
We will find the answer out in November to it
if these Trump politicians who are winning primaries actually win
their races. A lot of media on the left will
tell you they never win. A lot of media on
the right will tell you they always win. It's really
more in between how often we see it. But Trump's
record for endorsement is actually better than anyone in mainstream

(57:18):
liberal media will tell you. And that doesn't just mean
for primary races. That means throughout the totality of a race,
the people he nominates oftentimes win and actually Living in Texas,
one of the biggest discussions is about Ken Paxson. Ken
Paxon is not a darling of many of the government
machine Republican machine that's out there, and so there are

(57:40):
people that are vitually reacting to Kem Paxson being the
person that gets the Trump endorsement. However, if you live
in Texas, you understand that a lot of people would
rather have him than Cornyn, even with the baggage. Paxson
has some personal and some professional baggage that he carries
into a race with a truly crazy personal Rico. But

(58:01):
I'll just say this, and I won't dive too deep
into the Texas thing during the national show here, but
I think it's important to realize that, regardless of what
someone thinks who lives not in Texas, that part of
the reason that a race might go a certain way
in a place you don't currently live. And I used
to say this from Afar when I didn't live here too,

(58:22):
is very different than what the people here actually want.
Can tallar Rico actually win a Senate seat in this state,
in the state I live in? My answer is no.
It didn't matter if it was Cornin or Paxton. I
don't think either one of them could have possibly lost
to the insanity that is tall Rico when the state
that they live in the state where they're asking for.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
People to vote in.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
I would care a lot if you say things like
God is non binary, which is something tall Rico has said,
and many other just insane things. And also one last thing,
I do find it kind of amusing, and maybe we'll
play audio later in the show on this the tall
Rico has claimed to have a girlfriend, but refusing to
say her name, and I don't think anyone's ever seen her.

(59:05):
It sounds very similar to your friend in school when
everybody else starts dating and he's not dating yet, saying
that he met a girl on vacation who lives in
Canada and they've been dating.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
For a while.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Like it sounds very similar to the made up people
that some of the individuals you might remember in your
own life also claim to be dating. And I don't
know why you'd go this far to protect somebody from
the public spotlight, if that's what he claims he's doing,
because doesn't every politician inevitably wind up campaigning with their
significant other. Doesn't that wind up being a thing, And

(59:38):
they say it's a longtime girlfriend for tall Rico, but
no one has any idea who she is, and my
best the favorite part is like no one's ever seen
them out. How do you hide someone this Well, it's politics.
By the way, you feel like everything leaks. How does
this not leak? Probably because it's not true. Although I'm
guessing there might be a paid actress at some point

(59:58):
going around and hanging.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Out with he Rico. I will see.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
We'll see if you can find her on a website
that's inappropriate and if she's making some sort of cash
on the side.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Tall Rico actually used to follow a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Who were in inappropriate fields for politician to follow, although
I doubt he's alone in that too.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
And that's as far as I'll go on the radio
on exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I think you might be able to figure out what
I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
All right, Another thing out there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Tom Holman talk to Fox News about some lawsuits and
subpoenas that they're interested in pursuing. This would force DMVs
to give information to ICE. Deep blue states that resist
any sort of version of helping ICE apprehend people without
having to do it by going into communities and making

(01:00:43):
a big display. Democrats want the theater of the thing
that they tell people happens when ICE has to take
people that are illegally in this country off of the street.
ICE actually doesn't want that theater at all. But here's
a little bit of this back and forth discussing exactly
why they're doing this. And then I have a totally
different story about our license plates that I think is

(01:01:05):
equally fascinating. But here's Tom Holman.

Speaker 14 (01:01:07):
First.

Speaker 16 (01:01:07):
I literally know at least two hundred Angel Moms that
I have metal the last few years, and there are
literally thousands of them.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
And you're right.

Speaker 16 (01:01:15):
Look, Sean Duffy's all over this. He's working very closely
with Apartment Homeland Security and ICE. You know, ICE is
working with state police and several states, whether it's a
way stations, truck stops. But we even got further. We know,
I know Sean Duppies working on lawsuits and subpoenas get
DMB information prim d blue states that simply don't want
to share it, but we're gonna get that information. But

(01:01:38):
we have tipped up everts on this tenfold, and together
with Sean Duffy and then Secretary of Mark Wayne Mohan,
they're taking this serious and we're going to try to
get everybody off the street that's here illegally.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Yeah, we shouldn't be driving a car. I also like
what he says, we're going to get that information further.

Speaker 16 (01:01:53):
We know, I know Sean Dumpies working on lawsuits and
subpoenas get DMB information prim the blue states that simply
don't want to share it. But we're gonna get that information.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
We're going to get that information. I just like that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I wish you had that at multiple additional times. We're
going to succeed here, and we're going to catch the
people that are doing bad things that shouldn't be doing
bad things. And he mentions angel moms, people who have
lost kids out to someone who shouldn't have been here
in the first place, which would make you uniquely irate
at both the horrible thing that happened in your life
and also the willingness of a government to look the

(01:02:25):
other way to cause something to even be possible that
shouldn't be possible.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
People shouldn't behind.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
To the wheel of the car or truck driving for
a company if they're illegally here and have I legal licenses.
But anyway, this other story that producer Phil sent me
as crazy, the FBI wants to access automated license plate readers.
They're called ALPRs A nationwide. This would allow the agency
to track movement of anybody via their vehicle.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
By extension, of course, that means they'd be able.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
To attract to follow us everybody at all times, no
matter what you're doing. The argument for this is when
you occasionally lose someone that you're looking for, that if
they were in any kind of vehicle tied to their
name at all, you'd be able to find them relatively
quickly with an advanced version of this kind of software
and intelligence. The negative is all the spying and horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
Stuff that usually comes with this.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
It's just interesting that it's out there as a story
and people are debating whether or not the technology should
be something that the FBI gets its hands on. I
will say that my first reaction when I read it
is if they want it, they're probably going to use
it and have it, even if they don't tell us,
even if it's not something that they publicly admit, and
maybe someone eventually tells us as a whistleblower that this

(01:03:42):
is going on. But obviously the development of new technology
in all these places will make spying on the American
people tremendously easier and already probably happening in a lot
of cases. But if you read through a lot of
the discussion here and a lot of the belief on
on what will and won't happen, you immediately see the
big brother problem in all of it. And as we're

(01:04:04):
talking about the FBI more and these agencies and the
way the Trump administration and some of the officials put
in place of power have tried to root out a
lot of the very very one sided political thinking in them,
you know how quickly that can be rebuilt the minute
these people aren't in power. The minute that these people
aren't in charge, the tremendous And I think that there

(01:04:27):
was a discussion about James Comey saying in a couple
different interviews, and I know I have that audio somewhere too,
that he wanted people in the FBI to just hold
out a little longer and to resist whatever they were
likely to be in trouble for whatever was likely to
be going on for them, so that they can, you know,
keep their job and keep the corruption going once Trump

(01:04:49):
is out of office. And obviously they hope other Republican
politicians don't take over It's just really interesting to hear
because it definitely doesn't sound like all that veiled of
a message to say, hold out, hang out a little longer,
pretend to be politically in the middle or on the right,
and then eventually, once people are gone, I keep doing
the shady things you've been doing behind closed doors. It's

(01:05:09):
tremendously difficult, and I've heard Dan Bongino talk about that
a lot on his podcast, how difficult it was to
root out all the different corruption that exists when it's
been built for years and years and years into every
one of these establishments, the FBI of course among them.
So yeah, I think I guess the cyclical a version
of a discussion or an end cap to what I'm

(01:05:30):
saying is, while I'm not uniquely afraid of the FBI
investigating me, I have nothing that I'm hiding. I'm someone
who does this for a living, so I imagine someone
at some point has looked into me. But at the
same time, I don't think that an agency that is
so often corrupted by political belief I should be able
to gain access to more technology that makes them essentially

(01:05:53):
the full on big brother. But I guess I've resigned
myself to the faith that they're probably going to do
it anyway, regardless of what I say. It'd be nice
if they checked with me. I doubt they actually will.
All right, Well, take.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
Another break after the break.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
I usually want to talk about silly stuff in the
tail end of hours on the show, but there's a
Tucker Carlson piece of audio that's kind of insane, as
many pieces of Tucker Carlson audio have been recently, and
I can't help wanting to play it. So we'll do
that more in just a bit. This is the Chad
Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling it.

Speaker 14 (01:06:26):
Ever been stuck in a bad relationship, you know, the
one drains you, wears you down, and somehow you stay
even though deep down you know this isn't how it's
supposed to be. That's what living with daily aches and
pains can feel like. You stop expecting to feel good,
you start thinking maybe this is just life now, No,
it's not. With relief Factor, you can break up with pain,

(01:06:47):
just like Anthony did. Since taking a relief Factor for
about two months, he's back to running his business, fishing, gardening,
doing the things that really matter to him.

Speaker 5 (01:06:56):
That's the difference.

Speaker 14 (01:06:57):
Relief Factor is one hundred percent drug free and it
or gets the inflammation that causes pain, so you can
move better, feel better, live better. Try it for yourself
with the three week quick start for just nineteen ninety five.
Go to relief Factor dot com or called eight hundred
and four Relief. That's eight hundred the number four relief.
To get the three week quick start for just nineteen
ninety five, break up with pain and get back to

(01:07:19):
what matters, visit relief Factor dot com or call eight
hundred four Relief Today.

Speaker 8 (01:07:35):
Fronting with Scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
Say this is the Chad Benson Show. My name is
Craig Collins filling in.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
I teased before the break some Tucker Carlson audio where
he says the thing that you can very easily disprove.
He says he doesn't know something exists when he's often
campaigned against it or a rallied against it in his past.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
We're gonna play that in about ten minutes. I'm not
actually going to play that.

Speaker 16 (01:08:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
He's talking about Islamic g hod and making a joke
about how he doesn't know what it is. And this
is just another version of Tucker trying to rewrite his
past in a way that he hopes nobody does the
research on or doesn't even care. I guess, But as
I said, we'll get to that in a little bit.
I'm going to save it. I thought this was interesting.
The actress playing Supergirl in the upcoming movie has been

(01:08:23):
crapping on the idea of people who don't like any
of the teasers, any of the trailers they've seen for it,
who're complaining about the movie. She thinks they're all just
quote film critic Christian dads that she thinks won't like
her or the.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
Movie she's in.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Not a smart move to crap on Christianity men, I guess,
fathers more specifically than just men, all in one sentence
about the amount of people that don't like her movie
or the.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
Likelihood of her movie.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
This has not gone well for other actresses who have
decided to target specific potential moviegoers when saying who doesn't
like their movie or their film? I don't know why
you don't just accept that maybe criticism is out there
and kind of ignore it, Like I think that's a
better road to go. And if somebody asks you about
the criticism the response I'd give without trying to alienate

(01:09:14):
people from coming to watch my movie if someone ever
wants to cast me in one, I don't think Supergirl
is the right role for me.

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
I'm the left might be happy about that. I would
not be.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
But nonetheless, I think what you say is just wait
to see the movie. Anybody who's out there who's criticizing
the thing that doesn't exist yet, and then if it
actually does get crapped on I, once it's out there,
you just say, well, it is what it is. I
put it out, I put a lot of work into it.
I tried my best, and if you don't like it, okay,
that's the world we live in. That's a better response

(01:09:43):
than trying to defend it and say, well, it's just
these uniquely hateful people who don't like me, and everybody
else does and they'll love it and they'll all go
to the movie. Because now, if you're a Christian or
a dad and your kid asks you to see a movie,
you might encourage them to not go see Supergirl because
she's mean, she's a crappy person and you don't want
to support her, etc.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
Etc. All Right, another thing out there that I thought
was interesting. I referenced this earlier too.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
A former McDonald's manager in Massachusetts named Kylie with an
Ie contaminated the fries of her ex that came into
the McDonald's ordering food. This is the mistake you don't
make if you break up with somebody and they're mad
about it. You probably don't go to the fast food
place where that they manage and ask for food.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
You probably don't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
I blame to a certain extent the person that chose
to go there when there's so many other McDonald's is
to choose from.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
You don't have to go to the one with the
X there. I don't know if you were on.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
A date with somebody else, but anyway, contaminated is a
scary word. Spitting in them is a less scary thing.
I have a little bit of audio on this. Oh
I actually have to make sure you can hear this
audio on this I'm going to play on. But I
do think this is kind of interesting. This is some
people talking about the X contaminating the face.

Speaker 9 (01:10:57):
And I live in HealthBridge, so of course me and
my friends are talking about him.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Were like, well, that's embarrassing.

Speaker 8 (01:11:03):
Y or do that to somebody regardless of your ex
or not.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
That's your place of business, that's whe you work.

Speaker 8 (01:11:08):
Just seems pretty inappropriate.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Yeah, I don't spit in the food, and yet I
bet you a lot of other people have done it
and they're not getting caught for doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
I'm not encouraging it. I'm not saying it's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
But I do think that i've, at least in my
own past I'm a happily married man now, had some
relationships that ended a certain way that if I knew
they managed the McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
I wouldn't go in.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
I just go ahead and skip that one. I had
my first girlfriend in high school. This doesn't matter to
almost anyone listening, but I got about thirty seconds to
tell you this. She burned a hoodie that I gave
her when I broke up with her, and I think
the reason why is because I broke up with her twice.
I broke up with her once we were working at
a grocery store together, and she didn't seem to receive

(01:11:47):
what I was laying down, meaning she thought we were
still dating and we weren't. So I broke up with
her a second time, and her response was to come
into work the next day and whisper in my ear
that if I wanted my hoodie back, it was too late.
She had burned it in a fire that she set
in her house. Obviously, I think I did a good
job breaking up with her. The funniest part wasn't my hoodie.
It was my little brothers, who to this day I think,

(01:12:08):
is to ask me if I have it and the
answer is no, bro, I don't. This is Craig Collins
filling in on the Chad Benson Show, and I remember
I think that eventually she even brought in ashes, the
young woman that I must have. I guess I was,
you know, a catch that she was so sad. I
is gone in this world too, said hoodie. And again,
I don't know what person thinks that this is going

(01:12:29):
to win somebody back if they feel like I made
a mistake in this relationship by breaking up with them.
I've told this story on the radio before, and I've
had people pretend to be my ex and reach out
to me, which I kind of enjoy, and they're like,
this is me, I'm Claire, what's going on? How are
you doing? I would like to burn another hoodie. I
hope she's doing okay. Actually, I wish her all the best.

(01:12:50):
This is Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
More coming up in just a bit.

Speaker 22 (01:12:57):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig
Collins filling in. First, something to mention. Kyle Busch, forty
one year old NASCAR driver, has passed away. He collapsed
earlier this week was rushed to the hospital for some
sort of severe illness. I don't think the exact cause
of death has been put out yet. This is the
first active NASCAR driver to die, and I think he

(01:13:52):
just won a race this past weekend in one of
the NASCAR Truck Series events. First NASCAR driver to well
actively participating in the sports since Dale Earnhardt in two
thousand and one. A lot of people are saying how
Kyle was not only someone destined for a big, giant
career in the world of NASCAR, which she was already

(01:14:14):
having a tremendous amount of success, future Hall of Famer.
All those things are said about Kyle, but beyond that
too is just the shock that he was sick and
I think in his quick thing that he did, like
the right after you want a race, you do a
couple questions with somebody in media. He actually said, you
never know when the last one will be. I wonder

(01:14:35):
if he knew he was ill or if this was
as sudden as it seems like it was. But anyway,
just a quick piece of information out there, especially for
NASCAR fans, but anybody a sort of shocking news story
from the world of sports. All right, some other things
out there that I think are interesting. I tease this
a couple of times. I'm going to pay it off.
Tucker Carlson went viral because he joked about Islamic jihad

(01:14:57):
and not knowing what that is, claiming that he doesn't
think that the people who are afraid of it, and
I think he'd even done interviews before where he found out.
At Turning Point USA events, they would pull the people
who attended and ask them what the biggest threat to
America is, and Islamic extremism was at the top of
the list, Islamic jihad essentially, and Tucker would downplay the

(01:15:20):
reality of that. I will explain before play on this
audio that a lot of people who are afraid of this.
I think could could sum it up differently. They could
say what they're truly afraid of is people throughout the
world who vilify the United States of America do it
in some sort of emotional passionate way, whether it's couched
in religion like Islam does, and what they do to

(01:15:42):
serve their God, and thus warfare becomes part of the
jahadest message or anyone else, anyone that radicalized the idea
that the United States is evil and needs to be attacked.
This is what causes terrorist attacks that happen in our
country or anywhere around the world. To people in the
United to people from the United States, this is a

(01:16:02):
rational thing to be afraid of, especially I guess younger
people who think in the next however many years, this
might become more prevalent. Or if we keep swinging wide
open the border when Democrats are in charge, more people
might get into this country who have very very negative
views of the United States and want to harm people like.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
All of these things for reality.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
But yet Tucker pretends as though he's never even heard
of this before, at least that's how he's behaving. And
then we have audio of Tucker saying how much of
a problem. It is because he's had a long career
where he was trying to appease the conservative mindset, and
so he'd certainly talk about this like he thought it
was real. And now that he's no longer under that
umbrella and he's on social media and trying to get

(01:16:44):
younger people to pay attention to him, so many of
his beliefs seem to have radically changed in sort of
crazy ways.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
But here's some of that audience.

Speaker 10 (01:16:52):
And when people win in race like this, there's evidence
of it, and that evidence takes very familiar forms enthusiasm, joy,
and just your numbers.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
Like people show up. They can't believe it.

Speaker 10 (01:17:03):
We beat the evil Thomas Massey with his Jihati backers.
This is a blow against Islama g Hod whatever that
is ismig Hod, which, along with Hamas, is one of
the big problems in the fourth District of Kentucky. They've
been very, very concerned about islaming she Hod in Hamas
and his bullah for a long time in Covington.

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
Is Lama g Hod whatever that is? This is ridiculous
to hear Tiger Carlson here.

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
I'll just play the other piece audio immediately so you
can see how different his opinion is now than what
it used to be.

Speaker 15 (01:17:37):
The irony for me has always been that, you know,
if the Jahada Siver took power in this country, the
first people who'll be rounded up and executed, probably slowly,
would be liberals, would be seculars, would be gays, would
be the very same people who are always making excuses
for radical Islam. It seems almost like a masochism to
me or self hatreders.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Yeah, it seems like exactly the thing you're now doing
that you complained about happening years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Granted, if you wanted to take him exactly at his word.
Is a district in Kentucky dealing with a thing that
they might be afraid of on an international scale. Probably not,
They're probably not dealing with it at home. But nonetheless,
politicians do things beyond, well, most often times beyond what
actually happens, what actually matters for their constituents. I meaning,

(01:18:23):
once they go to DC, they care about themselves, they
care about who's ever giving them money, They get corrupted,
and they do things that benefit all kinds of organizations
and people beyond our borders. It's a very rational thing
to desire to vote someone out of power because you
think you can see where influences have corrupted them.

Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
And that absolutely is Massy.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
And even more so than that, to say it more plainly,
when you hear Massy in his concession speech make a
joke about his opponent who won in a primary race,
and how he's in Tel Aviv serving Israel, you know
how deeply you know that anti Semitic thought process is

(01:19:05):
within this person's soul.

Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
You can just hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
And I know more and more Americans are starting to
say negative things about the government that runs Israel, and
I think that's completely fine.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
By the way, I want to be very specific.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Crapping on a government, any government for reasons that you
disagree with, like what they're doing, that that's always okay.
I think the fear has long been that crapping on
the government of Israel starts to sound like you're crapping
on everyone who is Jewish, and that's obviously not okay.
And so separating those thoughts those beliefs is tremendously important,

(01:19:40):
and a lot of people don't seem to do it,
and Massey was at the higher end of the list
of people who seem to not do that. At all,
and we've fought this fight before as a society. You
think that this is the kind of thing that most good, rational,
honest people know, and yet you're seeing the rise of
some of these things. I'll say it this way, and

(01:20:01):
then I'll play some other audio and move on to
something different. I think very often people, and I think
this is on both sides of the political aisle, are
looking for a bad guy to blame for whatever. The
bad things that are going on in your life are.
For Democrats right now, the go to bad guy is Trump.
I hear democratic politicians and pundits and morons that share

(01:20:23):
their opinion other places say, how like our world is
upside down right now, how it couldn't get any worse.
How everything that's going on in the world of government
is terrible, And yet they live their life exactly the
same way they lived it yesterday and a year ago
and two years ago. And honestly, if you're talking about Biden,
gas prices were even worse for a while during his administration,
and they weren't talking about how upended society was then.

(01:20:47):
It's so interesting to watch people who have no real
huge impact to their day to day life act as
though our society is broken and irre repairable and whatever,
like just everything is chaos, And again that couldn't be
further from the truth, regardless of who's in power. Even
when Biden was in charge and things were terrible and

(01:21:07):
I hated so many of the decisions he made, my
life was overwhelmingly the same, with maybe my money not
going as far as I wanted it to go. So
I didn't actually describe the world we live.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
In as upside down.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
I still did most of the things that I could
do every single I think upside down is a very
extreme and different thing that almost never exists.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
I hear in our country and people claim it does.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
But I think when you look for a boogeyman, it's
easy to convince you that one exists, and who that
person is. It just shows how I think willing you
are to go with whatever the current narrative is out
there in the world. How gullible you are is probably
the easy way to say it. And unfortunately, more and
more young people seem to want to blame the Israeli government,

(01:21:55):
and by extension, seem to be more and more comfortable
saying things that easily sound anti sm I'm not Jewish.
By the way, I think Dana was joking on her show,
which is also under the same umbrella as Chad Show,
as this show is about how people call her Jewish.
Dana lash Of nationally syndicated The Dana Show and her
staff Jewish. And it's so odd that people assume that

(01:22:18):
if you say something in defense of Jewish people, not
the Israeli government, that the reaction you get is, well,
you must be a Jewish yourself. It's a very strange thing,
to say the very least, but it's happening more and
more out there in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
I think you have to evaluate who the bad guy
actually is in your own individual life, and then you'll
be less gullible to being told who the bad person
is by people who want to control you. Figure out
who the bad person could be an ex it could
be your boss, it could be a lack of opportunity,
it can be a bunch of things. It's probably not
actually a foreign government. And that's a point that Tucker

(01:22:55):
is kind of making in his crazy thing where he
pretends to not know what Islamic jihad is. I'm aut right,
I should play one other piece of audio before we
take a break. I thought this was interesting. This is
doctor Oz talking about COVID and how it convinced a
lot of people that it was easy to defraud the
government because we had a massive amount of fraud during COVID.

Speaker 3 (01:23:16):
I want to play a little bit of this audio.

Speaker 7 (01:23:18):
Jake, I took this job President offered to me because
he knows they love Medicaid. It is the ultimate payer
of last resort. It helps people have nothing else that
can help them. Medicare takes care of our senior citizens
and an elegant, beautiful weights a crown jewel of our system.
We can save these programs.

Speaker 5 (01:23:33):
There's about one.

Speaker 7 (01:23:34):
Hundred billion dollars of money stolen from them, a lot
of this by foreign governments, potentially definitely foreign international crime syndikits.
So we can get our arms around this. We took
our eye off the ball. COVID convinced a lot of
people they could defraud the federal government, especially in healthcare,
which is probably fifty percent of the fraud, and get
away with it. If we send a clear message we're

(01:23:54):
not tolerating it anymore, they go away. Look what happened
to hospice care in California? And you know this a
program where one third of all of the hospice in
the country is in LA one third. So we have
already gone after eight hundred and fifty of these hospices
stop paying them. Some have come back a few to
stable way.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
I feel like I should pausit there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
One of the big things that I took out of
this was one hundred billion dollars in fraud and how
bad that is. I do think that there might be
some things that become so large it becomes very difficult
to actually have enough review overview of them to prevent fraud.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
And some things might need to go away.

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
You might need to find a different way to dismantle stuff,
or just make it smaller pieces of a larger puzzle
so you can actually have the oversight necessary to prevent it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
But yeah, that's a lot of fraud and I'd like
to see that go away.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
And that's not something that's on a political side of
the aisle.

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
This is universal. This is down the middle.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
We all want our taxpayer dollars to be appropriately spent
and not just stolen by people. All Right, we got
to take a break. After the break, we will talk
about some sillier stuff. Including the gen Z gen X
war over peanut butter and jelly that coming up, and more.

Speaker 14 (01:26:53):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 22 (01:26:54):

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
This is the Chad Benson Shoe. Name is Greg Collins
filling in Thrilled to be with you. Just before the
Memorial Day holiday, which is also a time to remember
people who gave the ultimate price, who sacrificed the ultimate
price for our freedom. Well, a lot of people absolutely
enjoy and I'm not trying to, you know, stand on

(01:27:18):
some sort of thing and you know, yell from the
rafters how important although this genuinely is it genuinely does matter.
I'm not trying to shame anybody who might forget this
for some part of Monday. But we're actually thanking those
who protect our lives with their own. So I think
that that's important to mention, important to talk about and

(01:27:40):
say more often. It's a very different holiday than Veterans Day,
and so it deserves to be acknowledged. And again I'm
not trying to do that from some sort of of
grandiose place. I'm just doing it from a very honest place.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
All Right, I saw this. I thought this was interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
Peanut butter and jelly is causing a gen X war.
People on social media are weighing in. Z seems to
think that peanut butter and jelly is a disgusting food
product and they're horribly wrong about that, and they're actually
basically calling it prison food. This is a greater debate.
Gen Z is saying that they can't afford certain things

(01:28:19):
to eat, especially for lunch. And so now even the
cost of a loaf of bread, peanut butter, jelly, even
a bag of chips all adds up to a higher
price than it should be for that style, that type
of lunch. So gen Z is complaining about this. Gen
X is telling them to shut up that peanut butter
and jelly is delicious, and I'm on the gen X bandwagon.

(01:28:39):
As a millennial, peanut butter and jelly is more than
an acceptable lunch. I have it still as an adult
man quite often, and I don't know why people are
judging it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
It's got all the things you need.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Man, It's got peanut butter, it's got jelly, it's got bread.
It's incredible. I don't even get the bag of chips.
But this just seems wrong. But good luck to the
gen Z gen X war on peanut butter and jelly.
filling in on Thrilled to be with you just before
the holiday. One other quick thing, I just put this

(01:29:10):
out there between the peanut butter and jelly debate. I
love some of the other items that are catching strays,
like the grilled cheese, the grilled cheese is apparently a
ridiculously at lunch option according to many in the gen
Z community. And I don't know what they want, man, Like,
what could be better than some of these items? I
know you don't get a restaurant style fancy meal every

(01:29:32):
meal of the day. That's probably not financially smart to do.
You need to cut corners somewhere. We all do this.
One of the three meals of the day is not
gourmet prepared. That meal, typically, I think, is lunch. It
gets the short end of the stick very often, and
I'm fine with that. I've been fine with that for
my entire life. I don't know what they're doing here,
but come on, leave grilled cheese out of this. What

(01:29:53):
did they ever do to you?

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
All Right? This is I'm very amused at the things
that I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
This is, as I said Craig coll filling in on
the Chad Benson Show, we do have serious stuff coming
up and just a little bit, and also a story
about how one in three women regret their romantic partner.
So we'll do serious and silly throughout the remainder of
the show. Even though I feel like the right answer
to people who regret their romantic partner is to break
up with them. You don't have to stay in a

(01:30:20):
relationship if you're unhappy. It's weird to hear a survey
of people like, yeah, I really, I really made a
mistake here. I guess I'm gonna date and or be
married to this person for several additional years. All right,
quick break a lot more. As I said, Craig Collin's
filling in on the Chad Benson.

Speaker 18 (01:30:34):
Show, Sun Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:15):
filling in.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
Thrilled to be with you. A lots of stuff out
there to talk about. Spencer Pratt is a guy who's
doing quite well in the Los Angeles Los Angeles mayoral
race for quite a few reasons that seem kind of obvious.
One of those might be the fact that he has
changed to be a Republican because of how terrible things
have been on the left for a long time. I

(01:31:42):
do like this answer to a question he was asked
on CNN about why he's chosen the political party that
he's representing now. Of course, it makes the left attack
him and call him a mini Trump or any other
crazy thing, because he doesn't want people to have human
waste in the middle of the sidewalk while walking too
at your macho latte, as he said in a different interview.

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
But here, let's play, let's hit play on some of
this audio because.

Speaker 17 (01:32:05):
It will be brought up.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
Why are you a Republican?

Speaker 9 (01:32:09):
Well, you want to break some news here? Sure, it's
in my you know, I've told this before, and this
is the only time I've ever said this, So this
is breaking news. Everyone's is just a freak out. When
I was a hated reality star, h I got so
many death threats, I had so much security and police,
and what did they tell me to do?

Speaker 5 (01:32:28):
Get a gun?

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
This is real.

Speaker 9 (01:32:30):
I know people don't like guns, but LA was dangerous
if you're hated, So I got a gun.

Speaker 2 (01:32:35):
By the way, I'll say real quick, anywhere is dangerous
if you're hated. It seems like anywhere in our society,
not just LA but anywhere, but places where you're not
allowed or they try to prevent you from protecting yourself
via Second Amendment rights, certainly much more dangerous.

Speaker 20 (01:32:48):
Your wife got a gun, and then we needed ccw's
the only people that supported a CCW was the Republican
That was what I aligned with my safety, personal saving
my family's safety. I know people don't like guns, but
when people are threatening your life and your own security
is telling you you need to have home protection train

(01:33:09):
to It's not like just I went.

Speaker 9 (01:33:10):
To the you know, go through the proper steps.

Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
That was my.

Speaker 11 (01:33:15):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
By the way, I do like guns, So he's wrong
that certain people don't.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
I have guns.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
I am living in Texas now I feel like it's
a requirement. I feel like when I moved here from Illinois,
as I was crossing into the state of Texas, I
should have been given the option I to purchase a
gun event but I already brought some with But no
in the CCW, the concealed carry weapon license that you
need in some places, all these things are sort of ridiculous.
And the reason why they're ridiculous is, of course you

(01:33:41):
want to protect yourself, protect your family. Of course you
can responsibly own a gun train and learn how to
use it and have it if an emergency were to
present itself. All these things are rejected by people who
would never even try this. The biggest argument I've ever
had with people that I know that are very liberal
about guns, is their willingness to even experience them, their

(01:34:05):
willingness to go to a shooting range with me, to
be taught all the proper steps to use one and
to fire it, and then to ask me what they
think of that process. Because if you do take people,
even very liberal people, to experience to experience something, once,
they seem to profoundly change their opinion, at least to
some extent. They seem to accept the idea that there

(01:34:26):
might be an argument to be had on the other
side when it comes to this topic. And of course
that's one of several things that Spencer Pratt is now
saying that seems like it's actually working all right.

Speaker 3 (01:34:37):
Some other things out there. It's almost a holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
I get sick of the real news, so I think
we're not going to do some real news here. Let's
do some things I call palate cleansers. I saw this
story and I cannot help talking about this on the radio,
and I don't know. The headline says it's a real
medical condition affecting some amount of women out there, and
for anybody that's dealing with this in a real way,
my heart goes out to you. But apparently a new

(01:35:02):
thing that people are scared of is the uniboom. And
I'm saying legitimately a thing that exists, not a version
of this that might happen because of maybe some health
issues where you're maybe snacking more than you should. Me
as a forty year old man now is always scared
that I have things that resemble some of what's being

(01:35:23):
talked about here. But no, they say that there's an
actual medical condition that causes the quote natural shape of
the chest sometimes to merge from two distinct and this
is their words.

Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
Mounds to be one continuous mound. I don't know why
they chose these words. Amused by them.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
This is a thing, and so women need to have
certain signs they look out for to prevent themselves from
at some point having their boobs merge together. I don't
know how to process this. The guy, I'm gonna be
totally oz with you. Like when I read this.

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Story, I was like, what, I like this.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
It's still a boom. I doubt I would hate it.
I doubt it's something I would dislike.

Speaker 3 (01:36:05):
I don't know. I don't know if it's a superpower
or not.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
Now it gave a whole new meaning to superheroes like
Cyclops for me, and how he only has one eye.

Speaker 3 (01:36:14):
What else could be in that world?

Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
But I saw this headline and I thought to myself,
and that I actually read in how rare of a
condition this is that people are so afraid of some
very silly things that almost never affect anybody. And if
they do affect someone, again, I feel terrible for you.
But by and large, the masses don't need to start
checking to make sure that part of their body is

(01:36:38):
merging together. Although I know a lot of people who
are willing to help out there. If you need some help,
if you want someone to give you an unprofessional opinion
on this sort of thing, you have many options in
the world of people willing to do so. But I
just read the headline. I saw that it was being
shared places. I even saw some comments of people who
were worried they might have it. And I'll say this

(01:36:59):
actually to away from the adult topic a little bit.
That is amusing me as a juvenile, And this is
true in the world of psychology, and I know medicine
a bunch of places once you start learning about things
and the sort of very stereotypical initial symptoms of some illnesses,
some disorders. You start thinking you have everything. It's very

(01:37:21):
common people who study this stuff start self diagnosing and
say I must have this, I must have that, I
have that.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Symptom, I have this symptom.

Speaker 2 (01:37:30):
So I'm just going to put it out there that
the vast majority of people don't have these things. They're
not actually dealing with this. The stats don't back it up.
And again, if you're truly unsure, I bet you there
are several people even around you right now wherever you are,
even if you're driving in the car by yourself, you
could probably pull over and find somebody who's willing to

(01:37:50):
help you make sure that it's not a thing that
seemed wrong. Let's go ahead and move on from that.
I'm not encouraging people to do terrible behaviors. Another story
I saw out there that I found sort of fun
for today, just before the holiday, a dunkin Donuts is
bringing back its coffee bucket. They have a release date
that's been announced. It's a May twenty second, by the way,

(01:38:10):
is that day. It's a forty eight ounce bucket of
typically iced coffee that you can buy. It has a
straw in it it costs twelve ninety nine a stock
will be low, so you'll have to show up at
your Dunkin Donuts and punch people act like it's Black
Friday to get one of these things. Again, not encouraging
this behavior, just probably talking about a world of reality.
You can also get refreshers which have a caffeine in

(01:38:33):
them into these giant bucket things. I would absolutely judge
somebody who showed up at my place of work carrying
a bucket of coffee with straw, but then I would
also let it go like it wouldn't be the kind
of thing that would be a deal breaker. There's some
things you might put in a bucket and show up
at work that's an odd sentence, that feel like they'd

(01:38:54):
be a deal breaker. This isn't one of them. We
all need a caffeine kick. You might need it all
day long. This is way better than water bucket guy,
or you know, water bottle guy who brings around the
giant thing of water and talks about how he's been
working out all morning and he's gonna hit the gym
again in the afternoon. I like a coffee bucket person
much much better. I think I would get along with them,

(01:39:15):
much better than water Bucket guy.

Speaker 3 (01:39:17):
But to each their own. You live your life, you
do whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
I just find it funny that people are so excited
about this, and it might be because it's only twelve bucks,
and coffee is ridiculously expensive, usually so much so that.

Speaker 3 (01:39:30):
You should just be making it your house.

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
We all should be, and we've heard that for years,
and none of us do it. For some reason, I
started buying the Starbucks Refresher Concentrate because you can buy
it in the store now and it's much cheaper than
buying a refresher out a Starbucks. And I've done this
so much now that I even have like bottles of
this at work. And the funny thing, and this is

(01:39:53):
something that I like about it and I can just
put out there for you, is that if you're worried
that someone is stealing any of your stuff at work,
you should put something there that is a concentrated version
of a thing and not like the regular version, because
when someone steals it, you're very aware because they sip
a thing that's way too strong, way too concentrated, not
diluted and watered down, and then you know that they've

(01:40:15):
stolen your thing and they're drinking it behind your back.
Not that anyone's actually done that at my place of work.
I've just contemplated this that I would like to put
concentrated versions of soda inside the refrigerator to see who's
actually stealing my seven up darn it. But anyway, the
coffee bucket is back for twelve ninety nine. In the
very near future. Actually, I think that's today. May twenty
second is in fact today, So good luck to anybody

(01:40:38):
out there who's elbowing someone and getting to the front
of the line. I don't think it'll be as crazy
as the Starbucks glass bear thing was which came and
went in our society, but I imagine it'll be close, and
I'm not going to try.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
That's the kind of thing. I can put coffee in
a bucket all on.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
My own Dunkin Donuts. I'll just put that out there
for you to know. One last story before I take
a break. Silly as well, Philadelphia pizza shops are selling
fifty five dollars slices that are tapped topped with caviar.
They're also served on golden plates with a keepsake spoon.
I am not one to crap on any version of pizza.

(01:41:16):
I am an equal opportunist in the world of the
deliciousness of pizza.

Speaker 3 (01:41:20):
This is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:41:21):
If someone were to take me to Caviar pizza place
to have a slice of pizza on a golden plate
with a keepsake spoon, I would slap them in the
face and tell them that we can go to another
establishment and get three dollar pizza a slice of pizza,
or four dollars or five dollar pizza, whatever it might be,
and enjoy it quite a bit more, especially in the
city of New York. As I was just talking to
producer Phil during a break about this. This is the

(01:41:44):
only way I've ever seen anyone other than anchovies, ruin
a pizza because you.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Don't know, No one needs this, no one wants this.

Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
Some items that are low cost and low effort need
to stay in that world. And pizza is perfect. If
it's cheese and pepperoni on something that is thin, crust
and delicious, you don't need to go any further than this.
You don't need to break something that is perfectly good
the way it is.

Speaker 3 (01:42:09):
I'll leave it alone.

Speaker 2 (01:42:10):
Darn it is my reaction to the fifty five dollars
slice of caviar pizza, and the golden plate is just
uniquely dumb and honestly probably getting stolen along with the
keepsake spoon, because if I paid that much money, I
assume I get to take everything home with me, and
I actually also assume I might have a share in
the restaurant. Moving forward, all right, quick break, A little
bit more coming up. This is the Chadmentton Show. My

Speaker 8 (01:43:46):
Welcome to the chat Autonomous Zone. Whoo bipolar.

Speaker 11 (01:43:49):
There's a lot of things that I love about Hitler.

Speaker 14 (01:43:55):
No bipartisan, don't abandon, don't censor.

Speaker 22 (01:43:59):
In Yes, the Chad Dentson Show where free speech and
uncensored thought run wild.

Speaker 11 (01:44:06):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
filling in, Thrilled to be with you. Let's talk about
gen Z a little bit more.

Speaker 3 (01:44:16):
I'm a millennial.

Speaker 2 (01:44:17):
By the way, I know that a lot of other
people listening to the show are probably a gen X.
Gen X and gen Z have been warring, but the
millennials and gen Z apparently agree on something. I'm not
in this small group that does. They agree on something
called a mini retirement they said that they want to
experience freedom again.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
Get away from the quote rat race. See young people or.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
I don't know if they're even really all that young anymore,
depending on the gen z or that you are middle aged.
Some of these people are deciding to quit their job
and have a short version of a retirement where they're
impacting their ability to have a real retirement down the road,
among other things, a few months off before then trying
to re enter the workforce. They are calling this many retirement,

(01:45:01):
and they say they just missed the days when they
didn't have responsibilities in life.

Speaker 3 (01:45:05):
There's not a lot of people that can do this.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
You need to be in a certain financial situation for
this to be a thing you could actually do enjoyably
and not with a tremendous amount of fear and panic
in your heart. Is you're doing it that or you
just move in with your parents, which is the move
that several people make. That's terrible and an awful thing
to do. But I just thought this was interesting because

(01:45:28):
not that long ago, other generations accepted the idea that
being in the workforce and working for an amount of
years and abled you to have something really amazing, which
is an actual retirement when and if you get there
at that point in life and not before. But this
instant gratification world we live in is causing people.

Speaker 3 (01:45:46):
To do the many retirement.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
Now, maybe we can use the same words and just
do the thing that actually is normal but doesn't cause
you to quit your job. Have a one day retirement,
take a day off, maybe even pretend to be sick
for a day occasionally, and call that your retirement. Give
yourself twenty four hours of it, and then go back
to work, you lazy person, and do the things you
need to do to have that long form version down

(01:46:08):
the road. Another thing out there that I saw Americans
are reacting to the idea that AI might eventually replace
juries in courtrooms. Look, I'm no fan of technology invading
my favorite sport that would be the sport of baseball.
But I have really enjoyed the artificial intelligence and or

(01:46:29):
whatever you want to call it, just intelligence of the
calling balls and strikes via a computer and being able
to challenge them. And I think two challenges a game
is decent, and if you screw them both up, you
don't get any more. I think all of that's okay.
It's the first innovation if that's when you want to
call it in the world of baseball that I've actually liked.
I don't like the pitch clock, I don't like many

(01:46:49):
of the other things. I like this, And so is
there a world where AI might do a better job
than some juries in some places?

Speaker 3 (01:46:56):
Probably? Is there a world where they'd also do.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
Much much worse, absolutely, especially based on who is programming
said AIS and what the AI artificial intelligence people are
going to think about, say Republicans conservatives going in That
would be one thing I'd be afraid of. But I
thought it was interesting that they're at least teasing this
and putting this out there in the world, and then
people are reacting to it. Would you rather have an

(01:47:21):
AI or human jury for you? If you were facing
some sort of thing, I'm going to go human. I
think I'm going to continue to go human. Well, it
depends on where it is actually and what they know
about me. If it's in Manhattan like Trump's was, and
they know that I'm a conservative talk show host, I
might go AI in that environment if given the option.
One last thing I saw on this is kind of sad,
uniquely said, but it is out there. Desperate male singles

(01:47:45):
are paying quote thousands of dollars to have fake love gurus,
people that claim that they're matchmakers and social media help
them find someone to be in a relationship with, oftentimes
resulting in fake photos and artificially intelligence created humans that
aren't real people that you're dating online. People are lonely

(01:48:07):
in our society, is what this article says, and it's true,
especially a lot of men are lonely, and so some
are forking over thousands, if not ten thousand plus dollars
to work with a matchmaker. I think the real truth
is that if you're struggling quite a bit to find
someone in your life to be in a relationship with,
there might be a reason to think that you could
do some things to improve yourself. I'm not saying that's

(01:48:28):
always the case, and spending that money on that instead
of an idiot person who's going.

Speaker 3 (01:48:32):
To con you seems like a better move.

Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
But this is to me a sad story that I
saw a cy hacks platform was talking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:39):
So I guess the PSA of the day from.

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
The Chad Benson Show before the end of the show
and your holiday celebration is don't do this. That is
my recommendation. Greg Collins filling in on The Chad Benson Show.
And again, it's not just that you'd do like fix
yourself to find people out there. There's also maybe some
decisions you're making about the types of people you want
to be in a relationship with that you might need

(01:49:03):
to Readjust to what I'm saying is that you might
want to look for people based on some other standards,
because I don't think every single woman out there is
in a relationship. I think that there's some woman out
there who is single, who might be interesting, might be fun,
might be worth a shot and discussion.

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):
That's all I'm saying. That's it, that's the show.

Speaker 2 (01:49:20):
Craig Collins filling in on The Chad Benson Show. See
you guys next time.
