Independent thoughts, Independent life. Thisis Chad Benson. This is the Chad
Benson Show. My name is CraigCollins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuffout there in the world to talk about,
including a deranged actress that I'll getto in just a little bit.
That's a real thing that's out therein the world, and it's kind of

(00:30):
surprising because no matter how far youthink people are going to go, no
matter how broken the world can beand the takes can be and the woke
can get as angry as anybody else, you never think it's going to go
this far, and then it does. But anyway, as I said,
that's something that's coming up in alittle bit. The first thing I want
to play out of the gate heresomething I find fascinating now. Granted,

(00:53):
Trump is in the news a lotbecause of a Supreme Court decision that presidents,
not just Trump specifically, residents havecommunity. They have more immunity than
say, anybody else does. Andthat's something that the founding fathers intentionally created.
Yes, the decision was six'three. Yeah, a whole bunch
of people are reacting to it,but it's not something that benefits, say
just Trump, it's something that willbenefit everyone that serves in that role for

(01:17):
the rest of say time. Andhonestly, it's something that they also went
out of their way the Supreme Courtto tell you was not true. For
unofficial acts. You could still getimpeached, you could still get removed from
office, you could still be challengedfor things you did that someone would argue,
we're not within the scope of beinga president, whatever it might be.
There's just more of a process nowthan just dragging somebody into courtroom and

(01:37):
saying they did stuff wrong. Butnonetheless, that is not the biggest story
that should be out there about Trump. It's this. Someone sat down did
an interview with Sage Steel, apolitician, and talked about their own personal
experience being in the same room asTrump when a certain conversation happened with the

(02:00):
Taliban during Trump's planned exit of Afghanistan. This is some of the best stuff
you will hear out there. WesleyHunt is the politician's name. He's a
Republican, and he said that hewas sitting there and he heard the way
that Trump did this negotiation. Herecants it for us, and as I
said, lives up to the hypeof being his favorite Trump story. Here

(02:22):
you go, it's my number onefavorite of all time. When we were
negotiating with the Taliban while President Trumpwas still the president, President Trump wanted
to get out of Afghanistan, buthe wanted a conditions based withdrawal, meaning
that you do what we tell youto do, and then we'll start pulling
troops back slowly as long as youabide by our rules. It's President Trump

(02:44):
and Mike Pompeo and they are talkingto Taliban leadership in the room, and
they had one translator in the room. President Trump looked at that at the
Taliban leader and said this, Iwant to leave Afghanistan, but it's going
to be a conditions based withdrawal.And translator translated it, and he said,
if you harm a hair on asingle American, I'm going to kill

(03:05):
you. And the translator goes.Trump goes what I said, reached in
his pocket, pulled out a satellitephoto of the leader of the Taliban's home
and handed it to them. Shutup, got up and walked out the
room. Okay, now, look, you can hate Trump, you can

(03:27):
love Trump. I don't really care. But if you were negotiating with a
terrorist, that's probably the way todo it. That sounds amazing to be
sitting down there or somewhere as thepresident of the United States, completely unafraid
of the individual across the table fromyou, because again, you're the president
of the United States, and youknow they're not going to mess with you.
They're not going to try to threatenyou. And you threaten them blatantly,

(03:49):
and then you hand them a photoof their house and you're like,
so, no funny business, nothingbad happens, or something bad happens to
you. That does make people behaveThat does make people follow whatever version of
exiting you wanted with conditions that doesn'tresult in the horribleness that was the loss
of American lives, the loss ofmilitary lives because of how hectic and chaotic

(04:14):
the exit was, and the beliefby the enemy, whoever the enemy is.
The enemy can be Russia, theenemy can be China, the enemy
can be anyone, but the beliefby the enemy that you're weak, that
you're not going to do anything,that you're going to be restrained no matter
how provocative they get, until theyactually cause, say, serious harm.
And even in that case, welost American lives and Biden did nothing about

(04:38):
it, and Trump wouldn't have allowedit to happen. And when he says
those things, oftentimes I think peoplejust hear that as bluster, as Trump
being that same guy on The Apprenticeor the guy out of New York that
for years was known for saying alot of stuff and maybe not always living
up to everything he claims that hewould do. But that is a story
that seems to back the idea thatTrump knew how to wield the might of

(05:01):
the US military much much better thanBiden or most people know how to do
it. Because again, that wouldhave worked if that was me on the
other side of that negotiation table.All right, moving on some other things
out there. I thought this wasinteresting an MSNBC Pundit tells you why Biden
is a much better person to votefor than Trump. And I don't have

(05:23):
to argue what I'm about to playby being a Trump fanboy. I don't
have to tell you how Trump's sucha great guy and he's amazing and this
and that. I don't have todo that. I can very easily defeat
this idea by telling you the exactopposite stuff. About Biden, and I
hate this narrative so much that's outthere in the world and that some people
actually accept as accurate, because it'sinsane. It's insane to think this,

(05:46):
regardless of if it's a Trump orin anybody else in the world of Republicans.
But I'll say it this way beforeI hit play on the audio.
Politicians lie to you, all ofthem do it. You know it,
and I know it. There's noway to run a campig where you're claiming
that one guy is not gonna lieas much as the other guy, because
it's not true. It's never beentrue, and it's almost dangerous and naive

(06:09):
to believe it that someone else isgonna lie to you less because they absolutely
won't. And there's no easier proofof that than the fact that Biden's brain
is broken and they've been telling youfor years that he's the sharpest man in
the world. Here we go,What do you make of it? All?
I said this last thing. I'mgoing to say again. What separates
our side from the other side iswe tell the truth. Now you don't

(06:30):
Meeka Bordouk a great point. Let'snot get hysterical. Let's reflect over the
next week or so. But inthat reflection, we have to be truthful
with ourselves. And the truthful questionis who can win Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Wisconsin. That's what this is about. It's like, it's not a hercules
it is a Herculean test. Butlet's break that down. And I think
the truth will come out. AndI think we just have to be honest

(06:53):
with ourselves. And I think JoeBiden will be honest with us. I
believe in the end he will.I really do, because I think he's
a great man. Ah, ButI think the truth is he's not the
answer right now. He's not theanswer right now. He knows he's not
the answer right now. Will hebe truthful eventually in saying he's not the
right answer. But you know what'sfunny about that, too, is if
it took a horrific debate, justhorrific, just absolutely the kind of thing

(07:16):
that you almost never see in theworld of being confused, mumbling answers,
falling all over himself. It's beencompared to other, say, incumbent debates,
nothing has ever been that bad.And now Biden had a cold.
He was also tired from travel allthese answers that are not telling the truth
are flying out into the world sharpestman behind the scenes. But anyway,

(07:41):
to go back to it, thething that I think is dumber than anything
else we talk about in society rightnow, Like the dumbest position that I
hear someone take in an argument withme is that their side of the aisle
is more truthful. Of course Trumplies, of course, Biden lies.
Of course, they all lie.They do it all the time. And
the scariest thing again, I'm justgonna repeat myself and then I'll move on

(08:03):
to something else, is for youto believe that some of them are telling
the truth. The magician only pullsa trick on the gullible, and if
you demonstrate your willingness to be insanelygullible, they're just going to keep performing
the same trick over and over againbecause you're not going to figure it out,
because you don't want to figure itout. That's what goes on all

(08:24):
the time. It is ridiculous forany politician to run on a platform of
honesty. It is a ridiculous positionto take. Now. Granted, I
do think there's a difference here.I would say that Trump saying that if
he gets back into the White House, he's going to tear the system down
because the system tried to attack him. I actually believe that. And the
funny thing about believing that is Iwouldn't hate to see that. I think

(08:45):
a lot of us would like tosee the system in Washington actually fall apart
because it's insanely corrupt. And weall know that now, and we know
it's not fighting a fight for us. It's fighting a fight for itself,
and that's bad. And so Idon't think that's a lie that if Trump
gets back into the White House,he's going to do more damage to the
political system than he did last time. And again, that's not something that

(09:05):
scares me. That's something that kindof makes me happy. All Right.
I want to play this audio,and I believe I've edited it, which
is probably a thing that producer Philhates hearing. I believe I've edited this
correctly. There's a lot of wordsthey're bad in this piece of audio that
I want to play, and again, I'm pretty sure I've taken them all
out. It's an actress that's probablynot even really all that famous. She

(09:26):
was in Orange of the New Black. I recognized her I don't know her
name, but anyway, she's aviral all over the internet because she's imploring
Biden to kill Trump. That's real. Let's play some of this audio and
let's make sure that none of thesebad words are in here. Here we
go. I'm done. I'm seriouslydone. Uh huh. The Supreme Court?

(09:50):
What did they do? Has beoff? So much right now?
So much? Like so much?Okay, I'm kind of a fan of
that part of the audio when shesounds like any other, you know,
young person that has some annoying ideologystuff that you kind of just laugh at
a little bit, like so muchhim so upset right now, Continue,

(10:13):
Joe, Joe, Now she's talkingto the president's man. You don't want
to do this. Tell the truthall the time. I guess this is
a war. Whoa, this isa war now, and we are fighting
for our country and these are goingto take it away. They're going to
take it away. You Clarence,uncle Thomas, whoa you wow, Joe,

(10:35):
you now have the right to takethat Trump out. Take him out,
Joe. If he was Hitler andthis was nineteen forty, you'd take
him out. Well, he isHitler, and this is nineteen forty.
Take him the out. This isinsane. Blow him up. Okay,

(10:58):
blow him up. They'll blow usup. That's a hot take. That's
the hottest of takes that I've everheard in my entire life from a famous
actress who's definitely insane. All Right, I got to take a break.
A lot coming up in a bit. Greg Collin's filling in on the Chad
Benson, Joe. Okay, actuallyhold on just a little bit more,
my bead on that I didn't wantto break early there. Let me say

(11:20):
one thing about this, Thank you, Phil for helping me out there.
One of the things that I thinkis insane about this is this individual walks
around most of her life thinking she'sa good person. She thinks she's a
nice person. She thinks she's anaccepting person. She thinks people around her
are treated with respect. As sheimplores the current president to murder his political

(11:41):
rival, she keeps probably saying toherself, I did a good thing today.
I'm a very nice person. Icare about others. I want to
protect them, and the only wayto protect them is to kill somebody,
to kill a person that I don'tlike that. I'm definitely not voting for
and how dare anybody I want tovote for this person? She also at
one point threatened to take a batto actual Republican supporters. That's something she

(12:03):
did in twenty sixteen, So she'sjust buried nuts. Quick break a lot
more. Craig Collins Chad Benson showRaycon best earbuds around, Love my Raycon.

me too, hashtag immigration reforms,hashtag help. I'm trapped in a hashtag
factory and I can't get out.The Chad Benson Show. This is the
Chad Benson Show. My name isCraig Collins, filling in, thrilled to
be with you. A bunch ofstuff out there to talk about. Let's
do this first. There's a brandnew trend going out on social media.

(13:41):
At least one couple has done this. They sent out non invitations to their
wedding. These are people that arenot allowed to come out with people that
they still wanted to know they weregetting married, People that could actually buy
them a gift if they want,like that'd be nice. But the couple
said that they're having a really littlewedding. You know, not a lot
of people don't get mad you're noton the list, But hey, if

(14:03):
you want to help us celebrate,here's our registry, etc. Etc.
There was a time period in oursociety where you didn't feel a need to
communicate everything. That was a thingthat existed, and now people have lost
that, or at least at leastyoung people have seemed to forget that.
You don't have to communicate stuff.If I'm not invited to your wedding,
I don't need to know. Youdon't have to tell me. No one

(14:24):
has to inform me. At somepoint if I see some pictures on social
media, guess what, I won'tbe that mad if you didn't invite me,
because obviously we're not all that close. Because if we are real close
and you didn't invite me to thewedding, then there's other things that are
going to have to happen, andI'll probably have heard of it before I
see the photos and social media.But nonetheless, I just love this idea.
They're like, well, who knows, some people are going to find

(14:46):
out. They're going to be mad, so we might as well send them
a non invite to let them knowthat they're not invited. We'll handle it
that way. Their wedding, bythe way, is a year from now,
and so they're sending out these noninvitations very early in the process so
can prepare themselves to not go totheir wedding. I wonder how many people
just stop being friends with them afterthey got that in the mail. I'm
not really sure, all right.Another story out there that I like.

(15:09):
This is a list of things onReddit. Parents were asked what is one
of the bigger lies you told yourkid? And why did you tell your
kid this lie? And do youthink it was a brilliant move, a
parenting hack or was it evil ormaybe a little bit of both. Some
of the lies that parents admitted toare hilarious. First, I do like
this one. Several parents said theychanged the times on the clocks. If

(15:33):
their kids aren't getting up early enough, or if something's going on where they're
not going to bed early enough,then parents will change the time inside the
house. Obviously, that means there'sno smart device that the kid has access
to at whatever age the kid is, so then you tell the kid it's
nine when it's really eight, andyou send them to bed, or you
wake them up half an hour howevermuch it is earlier than you're supposed to
get them up. I think that'sbrilliant. I think that's awesome. I

(15:54):
think that makes sense. Another oneout there that I liked is the ice
cream truck only plays music and it'sout of ice cream. That's brutal,
that's mean. But kids that believethat obviously didn't understand the whole getting ice
cream thing. Then. Also anotherone is that the sunroof is actually the
hole that the car creates for yourejector seat. This means that if kids

(16:15):
are being crazy in the background inthe car, that you tell them that
the sunroof is now open, theejector's seat is now activated, and if
they do a little bit more ofwhat they've been doing already, they're getting
fired out of the car, whichis intense. Let's call that intense.
But yes, those are some ofthe lies that parents tell their kids,
very very interesting. I'm sure there'smore, but this is at least a

(16:38):
short list of the ones I've foundso far. This is Craig Collins filling
in on the Chad Benson Show righthere. And yeah, there are a
couple more lies that I think arepretty hilarious out there too. If I
want to just touch on a couplemore, I have batteries that are no
longer made for whatever the item isthat you're saying you need batteries for.

(17:02):
So a kid loses a toy becausethe batteries die, and you're like,
oh, yeah, though they don'tmake those or whatever that is. And
then also your tongue turns purple whenyou lie. That's something that some kids
were being told and they believed,and so then they'd hesitate and they'd try
to see their tongue as they werelying, all kinds of things. You
know. What I actually also loveis the discovery from kids when they find
out that these are lies. That'snot so bad. It makes you feel

(17:26):
all grown up, all right,quick break a lot more. Creig Collins
filling in on the Chad Benson Show, Sudden, Chad Vnson Show, Independent

(17:59):
Thought, Independent Life. This isChad Benson, This is the Chad Benson
Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with
you. Just before the happy holidaythat I hope everybody has out there.
Let's talk about this Supreme Court decisionand how it impacted the quote hush money
case for Donald Trump. A lotof people with the hot takes out there,

(18:22):
some of which I've played earlier inthe show. But nonetheless, the
big question is what happens now.Judge Juan march On is our merchan is
someone who's now going to have tomake those decisions as to what isn't something
that the president is immune from beingcharged with. With the former president,
I should say, of course mostof this case hinged on things he did

(18:45):
before he was in the Oval office, but they also seem to inflate a
lot of things, from say simplemisdemeanor to much more serious felony charges,
and all of that actually was verymuch centered on whether or not what Trump
I was somehow tied to his election, his attempt to become the next president
of the United States. So wewill see how much of an impact this

(19:07):
has. But kicking this down toSeptember instead of having the decision come out
in the near future is something thatis at the very least fascinating. Most
people believed that the only case thatTrump would actually get to the level of
sentencing on or decision making on,is that case in Manhattan. That's even
more true today than it's ever beenbefore. But the new reality is that

(19:30):
it's going to take a while forthe court to even understand how much of
the Supreme Court decision impacts them andto what degree it does and in all
honesty, and this is the otherthing I just kept thinking as I was
reading all this. When you're partof a group effort to go after somebody,
when you're in New York and youwant to be first, but you

(19:51):
know that other cases are coming,you throw two of your own cases at
Trump wanted his company, wanted justhim. Then you have Georgia do it,
and then you have a couple differentfas federal cases do it. When
you're part of a big group,I wonder if that makes you feel better
about the idea that you're going toconvict a former president of something. You
know, because years from now peoplewouldn't talk about just the Manhattan case if

(20:14):
these two federal indictments had been thingsthat reached all the way to final conclusions.
But now there's a likelihood that theywon't be, that the two federal
decisions will go completely away, orthe two federal cases, excuse me,
will go completely away, and sothen Trump will just be faced with conversations
about Georgia and how flawed it is. In New York and how flawed it
is. And so I wonder ifthat makes people readjust if that makes even

(20:40):
the far left crazy, you know, human beings to go after the politicians
and do all the things that theydo, like Alvin Bragg, who literally
ran on a campaign to go afterTrump. Rethink the fact that history will
remember just him as the only personto convict Trump on anything, and the
thing that he got him for reallyshouldn't have existed at all because it was

(21:00):
a misdemeanor passed the Statute of limitations. That now is something even crazier,
all right, other things out therein the world. New Mexico denies film
incentive application on the Rust movie aftera fatal shooting by Alec Baldwin. It's
crazy that they were still trying toget money for that movie from any state
or anyone anywhere. Alec Baldwin isalso going to do a reality TV show,

(21:23):
which is just completely tone deaf tounderstanding that you're someone who shot and
killed a person, whether you didit on purpose or by accident, whether
you should have known the gun wasloaded or not, whether you should have
checked it, which anybody who's everdone any kind of gun safety class and
I don't know how many actors inHollywood do. Anytime you're handed a gun,
you check to see if there's actuallya bullet in it. That's something
you do. You should just doit as second nature. Nonetheless, this

(21:47):
is sort of a crazy thing toget an update on to see out there,
because however much you want to saythat it's not just one person or
whatever, I don't know whatever themovie's going to say about them wanting to
get the money back from New Mexico. If you're a state, you couldn't
possibly give any sort of funds dAlec Baldwin and his horrible team after a
tragedy that you're still waiting to seeif Alec will wind up being held in

(22:11):
any way responsible for the horrible thingthat happened. All Right, Another thing
out there that I thought was reallyinteresting. This is about Biden. It's
a New York Times article. Itsays big donors are turning out to support
Joe Biden, but they're doing soincredibly quietly, meaning that even the people
with the most money, the peoplewho've probably supported a tremendous amount of other

(22:33):
politicians on a certain side of thepolitical aisle, are embarrassed to cut big
checks for the current president. Thisis coming on the heels of finding out
that Trump has raised millions of dollarsin the last quarter and is doing quite
well as far as fundraising goes,demonstrating that Trump does not struggle even a
little bit to say raise or evenoutpace the Biden campaign as far as money

(22:56):
is concerned, which will have abig impact in the ability to that race
well. And even more so Ithink for Biden because he doesn't like to
talk places, or he shouldn't talkplaces because he's not good at it.
You need more money to run moreads when you're not going to be all
over the place. Trump, aslong as he's not stuck in a courtroom,
is very willing to go have arally, go talk, go say
things publicly, which I think actuallydoes benefit him. But now he's also

(23:19):
got a bunch of money too.Another thing that I thought was really interesting
in connection to this is something thatNancy Pelosi said yesterday. She was asked
on I think it was MSNBC aboutBiden's mental fitness, his mental acuity,
and again, donors are shy aboutsaying out loud that they want to give
money to this man. Donors areflooding money to the other guy, the

(23:42):
candidate against him. Hollywood people arebeing crazy Hollywood people about all this.
And here's how Pelosi deals with theissue of Biden's very, very broken mind
and inability to say say things orthink things that makes sense to the rest
of us. Are you at allsurprised he hasn't called the leaders to reassure

(24:02):
them, or you know, Ihave a really good rapport with him.
I was not expecting a call.I do communicate directly with his folks,
and I know that he hears whatI have to say, so I'm not
I'm not one of those people overtime that always had to say I have
to speak to the president himself,nor do I expect the president to always

(24:29):
say I have to speak to me. His people can speak to my people
and we get the message message across. But right first, awkward. All
of that part of the answer wasawkward. Pelosi feels like she's not in
the inner circle anymore. I don'tknow if she was before. I'm assuming
when she was the speaker, shewas, but it seems like she's not.
And she's like, his people couldcall my people. It's totally fine.

(24:49):
We don't need to talk. Hedoesn't need to call me. That
sounds like someone that's very upset.She's not getting any phone calls. But
continue to let you know. Letus again in this time of pages.
Fourth and July. It's my favoritecivic holiday of the year. It's so
exciting, so excitelebrate what our foundersdid and what our men and women in

(25:11):
uniform have done to protect all ofthat freedom. As we just observed an
invasion of Normandy. I was thereand saw the presidents speak so brilliantly there
so and again about a more perfectunion. And let us celebrate the autiversary
of the Civil Rights Act. Now, yeah, here's the weird thing.
Nance we didn't ask you about that. We asked you if you're surprised that

(25:33):
Biden hasn't tried to convince you anda lot of the Democratic Party that his
brain's not broken after he had ahorrible debate, and you said, his
people can call your people. Andalso fourth of July. Remember it's the
fourth of July. Let's all behappy. That's just sloppy, that's just
I don't even know how to coverthis up anymore. I've failed the mainstream
media has failed. People are muchmore skeptical than they've ever been in the

(25:57):
past of the main narrative that existsout there in the world. And so
when those things are true, whenyou finally understand and you know what,
actually, I can even play alittle bit to prove this, because leading
up to that debate, you know, and I know, and a lot
of people talked about this, justhow much media lied to you, Just
how much they told you a narrativethat wasn't true. That Biden is doing

(26:18):
great, that his brain is notbroken. And now it's been outed.
Now all of these organizations that we'resaying all these things a few weeks ago
are actually calling for Biden to stepdown and saying that they've for the first
time seen something that they used tocall a cheap fake or a fake video
of some kind out there in theworld, and the rest of us saw
it for a while. But herejust as a reminder, these are the

(26:41):
things that media was telling you leadingup to that debate last week about Biden
and how great he is. Startyour tape right now, because I'm about
to tell you the truth and fewif you can't handle the truth, dang
Joe version of Biden is the bestBiden ever. Do you know, I

(27:03):
think he's better than He's a sharppresident. Biden has a photographic memory.
His understanding and mastery of a complicatedgeopolitical situation remarkable. He is sharp,
intensely probing, and detail oriented andfocused. By Jackie. You here,
where's Jackie? I was sitting,you know, a two feet from him

(27:26):
across the table, and he was, you know, intense. Got trouble
walking sometimes, Yeah, so didthat FDR. He wanted gd war.
But he's totally focused. He's verysharp. Oh he's so smart. He's
so good. This is all thestuff they were saying. And now there's
a lot of places that are sayingthat they're calling for the you know,
removal of Biden as the political candidate. We need somebody else to to run,

(27:48):
even the vice president seems like agood choice now for this side of
the political aisle, which is sortof hilarious and amazing. But nonetheless,
that's just a reminder, and there'smore minutes of that. Super Tom Elliott
of Grabyan puts it together. Hekicks butt every time he makes those things.
But and he put that one outa few weeks ago, but it's
going viral again because of how thoselies impacted the eventual turn of whatever you

(28:12):
want to call it, the aboutface of all right, you know what
you got us. We were lyingto you this whole time, and now
there's no way for us to convinceyou otherwise because you actually saw it for
yourself. Anyone who's not been watchingfinally got to get that same demonstration that
everyone else has. All Right.One other thing that I thought was out
there, that I saw out there, excuse me, that I thought was

(28:33):
really interesting was a question that waslobbed at the White House Press Secretary yesterday
that she answered in a really weirdway. She was asked if there was
any sort of medicine that the presidentwas taking for his cold, because one
of several different explanations that Biden didn'tdo well in the debate was that he

(28:56):
had a cold. So obviously,if you're a reporter, if you're anyone
else out there just trying to askvery basic questions, you'd wonder, hey,
did he take some medicine? Maybethere's a way for you to say
that the medication hit him too hardor whatever it is. I feel like
they were teeing up some sort ofexcuse. And the funny thing about it
is, not only did she notsay yes to that, she said that

(29:19):
he wasn't taking any medication. Shewent a step further in a weird way
in a follow up question, let'splay that you just reminded us that President
Biden had a cold on Thursday.What medications was he taking in the days
or hours leading up to the debate? And I can I know that question
has come in a couple of timesto us. He was not taking any
cold medication. Was he taking anymedication that wouldn't have interfered because he was

(29:42):
not taking any cold medication? Thatis what I can speak to. I've
asked the time. Okay, thatsecond time he answered the question that way
when you're like, well, butwas he was he on anything? You
know, Trump has joked that theyput him on all kinds of stimulants to
have these sort of con Was hemaybe on that stuff? Did you maybe
stimulate him too early? Did hemaybe get the stimulants in sooner than he

(30:02):
needed him? And you just goback to that he wasn't taking any cold
medicine. It's like she almost thinksthat it's going to come out that Biden
was on something. It just wasn'tcold medicine. So that question has come
in a couple of times to us. He was not taking any cold medication.
Was he taking any medication that wouldn'thave interfered because he was not taking
any cold medication? Don so weird. I've asked the doctor that's so strange

(30:25):
to do it that way twice.That's like, I didn't even know you
were lying until you said it thatway, and now I'm pretty sure you're
lying. A move that happens sometimeswhen you give two specific of an answer
to a question that's more general,you wonder why that just occurred. All
right, we'll take a break.A lot coming up. This is Greg

Why don't you grow? The ChadBenson Show, where independent all la carte
thinkers have a seat at the tableand a voice in the dialogues. I'll
have what she's having. This isChad Benson. This is the Chad Benson
Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with

(32:16):
you. This is wrong, Thisshouldn't happen. This is terrible. Apparently
a new company is going to makeAI of dead celebrities and they'll sell you
the ability to use these voices orwhatever it is you want, whether you
want them to do a commercial foryou or something else. They've created artificial
intelligence versions of Burt Reynolds, JamesDean, Laurence Olivier, a bunch of

(32:40):
people, and Judy Garland is actuallyfeatured in their pitch commercial. I'll play
the commercial for you. It's adude who made this stuff talking about how
great it is, and then atthe tail end of the spot you hear
the artificially created voice of Judy Garlandand it's terrifying, and there's so much
you know what's funny about this tooreal quick as being somebody who works in

(33:00):
radio, I know that there's somuch audio of my voice out there in
the world, not that anyone wouldwant to steal it, but it's just
so easy to do that I don'tlove it. It's not awesome, but
here we go. Here's a commercialfor a brand new idea that a company
should not be pursuing, but theyare. Eleven Labs is proud to introduce

the eleven Labs Reader app today,your favorite stories with your favorite iconic voices.

(33:49):
Yeah, don't do that, Please, don't ever do that. Here's
the thing that I actually feel badabout. So a celebrity passes away and
the family probably owns the rights tothat individual in some way, shape or
the estate, whatever it is.And so I imagine that a company has
to reach out to whoever theresent representativefamily members are of this celebrity in order

(34:09):
to ask that question. And whatI think is horrible is the families that
say yes to this because they wantto make more money off of their dead
family member, and I wonder ifthat's how it exists. I don't know
for sure. Maybe there is nolegal prevention mechanism right now for famous voices
being used in this way, butI hope there is, and if there

(34:30):
is, I then hope that familymembers start to say no to these things
because they don't want their family memberto live on in a creepy, weird
way that doesn't exist. People needto not be alive anymore. I don't
know how to say that in away that doesn't sound dark. But you
can't keep like creating actors and actresseswith the computer that then are not actually

(34:51):
alive anymore. But in movies.That happened in a Star Wars movie and
it was creepy. It can't happenin stuff. These voices things need to
go away. That's my take onit. All right, one other quick
thing out there, let's just livenit up a bit with a little bit
of time. The perfect hot dogis a hot dog that has a white
bun, not a wheat bun,and then either ketchup mustard, relish onions,

(35:12):
chili, or all of the above. That's a hot dog. You're
probably having hot dogs for fourth ofJuly, So please enjoy, have fun
and just think about that and notthe dead celebrity voice and stuff. Let's
forget about that entirely. A quickbreak a lot more Craig Collins filling in
on The Chad Benson Show. Oh, this is Craig Collins on the Chad

(35:32):
Benson Show. Sorry about that.Just took a little pause there for a
second. The perfect hot dog,as I said, has ketchup, mustard,
relish onions, and chili on it. Chili definitely is the ugly stepchild
of that family. By the way, it was the one that got the
least support out of any of thehot dog options. And it makes sense
because it's a very different thing.And by the way, anybody that lives

(35:54):
in the Midwest, specifically in Chicago, I knows that ketchup is an overpowered
incondiment. So you want as littleor none of that as possible. And
I mean that ketchup is the worstthing on a hot dog. I'll stand
by it. Attack me if youwant, all right, quick break a
lot more Craig Collins filling in onthe Chad Benson Show. This is the
Chad Benson Show. Independent Thoughts,Independent Life, This is Chad Benson.

(36:45):
This is the Chad Benson Show.My name is Craig Collins, filling in,
thrilled to be with you. Abunch of stuff out there to talk
about, and this is odd.There's no way to say this is anything
other than odd. A Robert F. Kennedy Junior went on Fox News yesterday
to talk about whether or not thereis a photo of him with a barbecued

(37:05):
dog that he was eating. Youmight ask yourself, what now if you
haven't heard of this at all,But apparently he sent a photo to a
friend years ago in which there's ananimal that's obviously been cooked, and according
to a vet or something, theanimal is probably a dog. Again,
RFK Junior denies this. I don'thave any expertise in this sort of thing

(37:27):
to figure it out myself. Alot of other people say it was probably
a goat, which is a muchmore common animal for people to eat here
in the United States. But nonetheless, here we go. Here's a little
bit of our Robert F. KennedyJunior answering questions on Fox News about a
photo that made the rounds online.This vanity fair story. I want to
give you an opportunity to address it. That has a priicture of you holding

(37:50):
up what looks like a carcass ofa dog and pretending to take a bite
out of it. It's getting alot of attention. So I want to
ask you if you want to explainthat photo. Is that a cheap fake?
Is that a real photo? Whatwas going on there? That is
a real photo. It's of meand I camp fire in Patagony on the
Futile Life food river eating a goat, which is what what will? What

(38:15):
would we eat down there? Farrsaid that they talked to veterinarians who assured
them that it was a dog thatthey had met. Analysis that showed that
it was in Korea, and thatit was in Korea meeting a dog,
And that bad statement is emblematic ofthe entire article, of the lack of

(38:36):
sort of journalistic standards throughout that article. All Right, it sound a positive
for a second. You know,it's interesting about this story, at least
to me, And it's my ownpersonal take on it. I'm married to
somebody from Mexico, and I remember, and it has nothing to do with
eating a dog. I would neverdo that, and I don't think anyone
I know would ever do that,just in case that's where you thought this
was going. When I married tosomebody from Mexico and the first time I

(38:58):
went down to meet her family whenwe were engaged, that was actually the
first time I met my father inlaw and everybody else, which was crazy
in and of itself. But theycooked me a goat. They killed a
goat on their farm, they cookedit in the ground somehow, and then
they fed it to me, andI got violently ill because I think it
was undercooked for me, but finefor everybody else. But nonetheless, I've
consumed a goat. I've looked ata goat, and I'll tell you,

(39:21):
it does kind of look like adog. It's not a dog. I
know what happened. I watched itoccur, every part of it. I
know what I ate. But nonetheless, I understand this kind of conversation and
also just a weirdness in American foodcompared to other people's food, because I
didn't really want to eat that goat, and I'm pretty sure I should have
eaten that goat based on I wassick I got after. But nonetheless,

(39:42):
this is in the news, thisall over the place, and Robert F.
Kennedy Junior had to defend himself onit. All right, I want
to play something else. I'm amillennial. I've said that a lot filling
in for Chad and other places.And so the first thing that's important that
I put out there is my entirelife. I've been taught about climate change
school. It was in science class, and then you leave class and you

(40:04):
hear about it other places, andthen meteorologists and people on television talk about
it, and you don't even reallythink about it. When you're growing up,
you're just like, all right,fine, climate change, that's real.
They told me it was real.It's fine. I'm not going to
look into it too much more.And then you get older, and then
politicians start to, i would say, almost weaponize the conversation of climate change
so that they can get money.Politicians want you to give them your money,

(40:25):
and they want you to do itas willingly or unwilling as possible.
And so now in my adult life, what I've often said about climate change
is, no matter how real orfake you think it is, I don't
want the politicians to try to bethe ones that solve it. It's actually
very similar to a stat I sawyears ago about if a asteroid was actually

(40:45):
barreling toward the Earth, what percentageof Americans would trust the government to stop
it? And almost none of themsaid, yes, we would do something
on our own. We'd build somesort of other solution to this problem,
because the government is not going tohelp us out. And that would be
if an asteroid was barreling toward extinction, which is what some people say about
climate change. But I want toplay this audio first. This is CNN's

(41:08):
Bill Weir talking about how hurricanes andhot summers and all this other stuff is
evidence that climate change is tremendously realand existential threat, all that stuff you
hear before, and then essentially thepitch that's hidden there is we have to
give a crap ton of money tothe government because the government's the only people
that can solve it, and theydefinitely can. Here we go, how

(41:29):
are all of these disasters related,Wellkate Science said there would be days like
this. This is just the resultof an overheating planet. We got a
trillion and a half extra tons ofheat trapping pollution, carbon dioxide, methane
around this planet, and it's gettinghotter. There is forecast for death Valley
from Monday one hundred and thirty degrees, which is the temperature of a medium
rare steak, to give you aperspective, And if that's where the planet

(41:51):
is headed. Okay, by theway, if I live somewhere where I
can just throw a stake outside andit'll be medium rare in a little bit,
that sounds amazing. I'm all infor that. That's not the right
example for me. Different ecosystems differentlyeverywhere. If you live out west,
it's going to affect outdoor workers,outdoor activities, the vulnerable triple digit,
these heat domes that really prey onolder folks in older structures. That's why

(42:12):
heat is more deadly than all theother disasters combined. If you're in the
Atlantic, if they ever come outwith like heat vaccine, I'm going to
be tremendously afraid of it. Now, this vaccine will protect you from heat,
don't worry. It makes sense tous just to go ahead and take
it. But again, whenever thisconversation comes up, and I'm in certain
crowns of people, I'll be toldfor a while how it's all lie,
How climate is climate, weather isweather, and these people are dumb,

(42:35):
and then I'll be told by otherindividuals and other circles how absolutely, in
the next ten twenty thirty years,the planet as we know will not exist
anymore because of climate change, whichis something they used to say ten twenty
thirty years ago, and then itdidn't turn out the way they thought,
so they're saying it again. Andall I keep thinking is, no matter
how real this is, no matterhow serious we want to take it,

(42:55):
or everybody wants to argue about that, that's the wrong converse because we should
really just be talking about how,say the private sector, or how human
beings can solve whatever the problem mightbe. And we need to not give
the government a bunch of money.And if you want an example of why,
since that take is pretty common andyou hear it all the time,
look at the amount of fraud duringCOVID. There was so much fraud.

(43:17):
There was an insane amount of it. People who lived in other countries were
like, I'm going to see ifI can get unemployment in the United States.
Let me go ahead and submit athing, And we were mailing checks
to other countries and being like,there's probably no problem with that. This
guy's just on vacation for six months. We did this so badly, so
horribly, that it should scream toyou that if there ever was a asteroid

(43:39):
barreling toward Earth, or any versionof that happening in society, no matter
how much the politicians yelled into theirmicrophones that it was happening and we need
to give them money, the lastthing we should ever do is give them
money. All right, Another thingI wanted to talk about, and this
is salacious in nature, but itis also political, so I feel like
it's perfect here. But there's ayoung woman who's quite famous now. Her

(44:01):
real name is Haley Welsh. HerInternet name is Hawk to a Girl.
I don't explain that. You canfigure that out on your own if you'd
like to, although I will saythat I'm sort of fascinated by someone who
essentially made an adult joke on aon the street interview for an influencer social

(44:22):
media thing and now is so famousshe can quit her job, sell merchandise
and has an agent in Hollywood.It's crazy to think that a person who
said something on a camera can windup being this famous this quickly. The
Internet's a weird place, and it'salways been a weird place. This woman,
though, who nobody heard of threeweeks ago, has recently been accused

(44:43):
of having a political ideology. Shewas on some podcasts she said something about
Trump. Again, I'm not goingto get into the gist of all of
it. It had nothing to dowith politics, by the way. It
was more on brand for the individualthan anything else. But this caused some
to think that she was on theleft, and then eventually some defenditor and
since she was on the right.Here's my only take on this. When

(45:04):
did we get to a point whereanyone gave a crap what any internet celebrity
thought of politics? Like, whywould you care at all? In all
seriousness? Why why would it matter? And one thing I got told by
a buddy of mine, and let'scall this buddy of mine more of a
tinfoil hat guy. Not that Ijudge him for it, he just is
was well, they might try toprop somebody up, make them famous,

(45:25):
they being you know, the politicalsystem, and then push the ideology on
us, similar to what they saidabout Taylor Swift in the super Bowl and
all that crap. And my responseto that is, hopefully people aren't dumb
enough to listen and I don't knowthat that's going to work out, but
I know that that's what we needin our society to prevent those sort of

(45:46):
things from ever working, if theyeven happen. Like again, I don't
need to argue the logistics of theconspiracy theory. Is it right? Is
it incorrect? What I'd rather havea conversation about is how we get to
a point where I don't think anyAmericas would care what the Hawktua girl thinks
of politics, because that's the placewe need to go. And so I

(46:06):
would say that to a parent ofkids, if you want to raise your
kids and prevent them from being radicalizedin any way, shape or form,
the number one thing you would tellthem to do. And I believe a
lot of people do this every day. Use your brain, Just use it.
Think, don't listen to what otherpeople say and accept it. Go
ahead and decide for yourself, seewith your own eyes, and think all

(46:28):
the time whether or not you actuallycare, whether you'd actually need advice from
this person or that celebrity, orwherever the crap the people are. But
I just thought it was so amusing. By the way, one other thing
about the Hawkta Girl, not thatThis is political in nature, but it
is also out there. She's makingsix hundred dollars per item that she sells
online. The item is something thatI'm not going to describe in too much

(46:52):
detail, but it's a jar,It has saliva in it, and six
hundred bucks a pop, and it'sselling out. The world is broken.
We have bad things happen in thisworld. All right, One other last
thing, and this is just apalette cleanser, if you will, from
the more adult topic I just didon the radio. But I think this

(47:12):
is pretty funny, mostly because thewoman's totally fine. A woman in her
nineties who lives in China has beenusing a bomb a grenade as a hammer
for the last twenty years. Shehad no idea it was a grenade,
at least so she claims she hasno idea it was a grenade, and
someone saw her on some video usingit. It has a wooden handle on
it, but it's definitely a WorldWar II era grenade, and they told

(47:35):
her, hey, can't do that, shouldn't do that anymore. Here's the
only thought I had about this,And this might be dark, and I
can't help it. My grandmother livedto be in her nineties, and my
grandmother made several jokes about how shewould have liked to not have lived into
her nineties, and it always madeus all very upset. We love Grandma
a lot, and so I neverliked it. But part of me is
thinking, maybe this woman knew itwas a grenade. Maybe a little part

(47:59):
of her new and didn't really careanymore. And I'm not sure that that's
a good thing. I'm glad you'restill okay. I'm glad nothing bad happened,
but I just can't get over forthe fact that if it was my
grandmother, she would have found outit was a grenade and she would have
kept going. All right, quickbreak a lot more. Craig Collins filling
in on the Chad Benson Show.Now you hear him every week. Love

(49:04):
your Risk Radio dot com, DeepStates not deep doo doo eah. The
Chad Benson Show. This is theChad Benson Show. My name is Craig
Collins, filling in. Thrilled tobe with you. A bunch of stuff

(49:27):
out there to talk about. Thisis interesting in the world. A woman
out of Florida, thirty five yearsold has been arrested for domestic battery.
She attacked her boyfriend with an Applewatch. That's actually what it says here.
Apparently there are aspects of this storythat I was amused by domestic violence
on either side, men hitting women, women hitting men. That's not fun.
But Kyleen is the woman's name,and apparently she got mad one morning

(49:52):
talking to her boyfriend again. Thisis in Florida, and it got bad
enough. And I think the guyprobably owns the place, otherwise this wouldn't
make any sense that he packed upall her stuff and put it near the
front door, her clothing, herbelongings, It was hole in bags.
When she found it. She gotvery upset with him. She apparently quote
stretched out his v NEX sweater thathe was wearing a VNX sweater in Florida

(50:15):
in the summer. This guy's insane. But anyway, she tore that she
threw an Apple watch at him,and she also made his ear bleed via
the Apple watch, and so copswere involved. She was arrested. Alcohol
has assumed to be a factor inall of this, But nonetheless, what
I think is interesting is the boldmove of packing up all the stuff and
putting it next to the door.That's not going to go well. And

(50:37):
if the woman's name is Kyleen,I feel like it's definitely not going to
go well, because already right there, it's not Kathleen. It's some weird
variation of it with's some extra easein there and some extra letters in there,
and you know, more likely thannot that that could be a little
crazier I'm not trying to break onall Kyleen's here out there. I just
think that when it's an uncommon versionof a common name, I'd have more

(51:00):
trouble. All right, Another thingout there that I saw. I thought
this was interesting. Actually, ProducerPhil help find this too. A nineteen
year old in Florida, also aFlorida story. Don't mean to do a
Florida segment, but darn it,why not, is apparently suing the state
because of a new law that they'veenforced that would not allow someone to strip
until they're twenty one years old.This woman, who's obviously a stripper.

(51:22):
Her name, by the way,can't possibly this can't possibly be her real
name, but her first name isSerenity in her lawsuit. I'm assuming that's
the performance name of the young woman, but who knows. She said that
she lost her job at cathe Risquein Gainesville, Florida, because of the
new law that takes effect soon,and says that it's just wrong. She

(51:42):
should be allowed to do whatever itis she wants to do at the age
of nineteen or eighteen or whatever.You don't have to be twenty one if
you're not going to drink in otherthings. Florida disagrees with her. I'm
sure there's a lot of people thatdo agree with her on this, But
that's an interesting lawsuit for a couplereasons. Somebody was probably gonna do it.
You don't know who it's going tobe, but somebody has to be

(52:04):
out there in the world. Andyou know, the one thing I think
of, and this is always you'reaccused of being like a bad person when
you say it this way, like, how dare you shame anybody? You
terrible, awful person. But Ido think about somebody's dad. I think
about this woman's father or this woman'smother when they're out there in the news.
As the head of this story,I think a Haktua girl's mom and

(52:25):
dad when she gets talked about inthe news. All these things make me
think about how they react to it. Because Serenity didn't have to be the
one of picking up the lawsuit.Somebody else could have done it, but
it happens to be her. Butwe'll see if she wins, if she
loses her fight to make sure thatthings are all right in the world in
Florida for her all right quick breakA lot more Craig Collins filling in on

(52:45):
the Chad Benson Show and coming upin just a little bit on the Chad
Benson Show, we will talk moreabout some of the crazy things out there
in the world of politics. Probablywon't dive too much more into strippers in
Florida, but you never know,you never know what topics deserve to be
covered most. I did see somethingout there where people are now celebrating bankruptcy

(53:07):
online. You know the economy isbad when young people are now encouraging other
young people to go through bankruptcy ifyou have a lot of debt and you
don't have a lot of possessions,because hey man, it's not so bad
and a lot of famous people havedone it, so go ahead and try
out some sweet sweet bankruptcy. There'saudio, there's video, there's all kinds
of things. I'll get to thatmore in just a little bit. Craig

(53:28):
Collins once again filling in on theChad Benson Show. Such Chad Benson Show,

(54:00):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. Thisis Chad Benson, This is the
Chad Benson Show. My name isCraig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to
be with you. Lots of stuffto talk about. Just before the holiday,
you might have started to see morepeople putting up on social media a

(54:21):
warning about Project twenty twenty five.You got to read into this, You
got to know more about this,because this is going to be the actual
upending of democracy as we know it. Left leaning people, even people in
my own social media page or friendsthat I've made throughout my life who definitely
don't have the same political opinion asI do now have been putting this up

(54:42):
more and more, especially after thehorrible debate by the current president of the
United States. Now the pivot is, hey, yeah, all right,
fine, Biden's brain is broken.The New York Times even has an article
out today, I think that saysthat his gaffes, his mental errors,
are becoming more pronounced, more significant. That's, of course, the moving

(55:04):
the goalpost thing, where you deny, deny that he's having any sort of
mental breakdown, and then once it'stoo difficult to deny it too many Americans
see it, you pretend it's brandnew. You're like, oh, we've
just noticed this now, or it'sjust getting this bad. It was never
this bad before. He was sosharp behind the scenes before that. But
anyway, that's a thing occurring.So instead people are pivoting to the scare

(55:28):
or fear tactic around Project twenty twentyfive, which actually comes from a few
different people from the Heritage Foundation,an organization that we might actually have to
get on this show, or someother places that I do stuff. But
I'm sure at some point maybe talkingto someone that actually wrote this might be
valuable. But here's the thing.I wanted to try to break some of
it down, and I'm not goingto try to do this in an overly

(55:49):
partisan way. I have an opinion. There's no way to remove it from
my brain. But nonetheless, thereare four core aspects of Project twenty twenty
five that are getting shared all oversocial media, and here they are.
I'm just going to read the goalsto you, and then how they get
done through policy changes and other thingsis probably the stuff people are debating.
But the goals themselves are worth atleast mentioning. Restore the family as the

(56:13):
centerpiece of American life, protecting ourchildren. That is core number one.
Dismantle the administrative state, and returnself governance to the American people. That's
number two. Number two does notsound bad at all. I mean Number
one doesn't sound bad at all.Number two sounds real great. Get rid
of Washington serving itself and turn itback into something that serves us. Defend

(56:36):
our nation's sovereignty, our borders andbounty against global threats, and secure our
God given individual rights to live freelywhat our Constitution calls the blessing of liberty.
Those are the four tenants of thisthing Project twenty twenty five again that
Democrats are warning would be horrible.It'd be terrible, it would upend society
as we know it. One ofthe biggest things that people yell about is

(56:59):
kids and transgender care, which,by the way, you know what,
I'm not trying to be overly selacious. I know Tomars is the holiday.
I'm not trying to be controversial,but I have to say, if you
were around of the clock a certainnumber of years, I don't think I
ever could have predicted that one ofthe political hot button discussion issues would involve

(57:19):
transgender children, or the claim thatkids are transgender and the need to change
their bodies before they're eighteen years old. That's actually a thing we debate and
discuss now, and people get ontwo different sides of that conversation somehow and
scream and yell at each other onit, and I just I can't fathom
that it's even a thing that we'retalking about. I can't understand that at

(57:44):
all. Because you're not allowed toget a tattoo until you're eighteen, you
can't drink until you're twenty one.I feel like there should be an age
limits on some of these other thingsthey're talking about. And that's only being
a responsible society at the very least. And I usually think that that's enough
of an argument to appease at leastsome of those that yell about this.
But that's an actual thing, andthat's why that protect our children. Number

(58:07):
one on this list of four thingsis making people mad because they call it
gender affirming care as opposed to transformingyour body before you're eighteen years old,
before you're thought of as an adultwho actually truly understands who you are.
Like, let's be honest about thatreal quick, and then I'll move on
because it's a tough topic and Idon't want to talk about it that much.

(58:28):
But the truth is, if webelieve that fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
years old, whatever those ages are, you're not old enough to truly be
an adult. You can't make certaindecisions that adults can make. How could
you possibly believe that it's the rightdecision to change someone's body before the age
of eight. How could you possiblythink that if you're willing to accept this

(58:51):
or that, or do you wantall restrictions to be thrown out because people
are different and someone might be matureenough at ten that can do things that
another person won't be mature enough atforty to do. I don't know,
but right now, essentially that's theargument going on. But that's number one.
Dismantle the administrative state and return selfgovernance to the American people. Now,
that one is making the politicians veryafraid because the politicians think that that

(59:15):
means sucking money out of Washington andout of politics, and guess what it
does. And that's also not abad thing. That might sound conservative or
even libertarian to say you just wantto spend less money on the government,
But anyone out there that thinks thatthe right decision is to send more money
toward those individuals couldn't possibly be payingattention to how many times things have been

(59:36):
screwed up when money goes that direction. And how horribly money gets wasted.
Of course, the politicians will tellyou that this is the worst thing they've
ever seen. It's sort of likesomeone trying to convince you to keep buying
them drugs. Like, I don'tknow of a better example, so I'm
going to use this as an example. For some reason, somehow, someway
you bought somebody drugs. You shouldn'thave done it, but you did.

(59:57):
And now every month they come backand they're like, hey, can I
I get some more of those sweetdrugs from you? They're like, no,
I don'tant to buy you drugs,and then they go through all these
different reasons why you really have tobuy them drugs or else something bad's gonna
happen to all of society, allof the world, and then you do
it. That's what the politicians are. They're junkies. They're addicted to our
money. They want as much ofit as possible. They want to convince
you to give it to them,and some of us keep doing it.

(01:00:21):
So, yes, dismantle the administrativestate, get rid of you know what
another great example this is too.I know this is ranty, and it
is what it is. These arein my brains. This is what's in
my brain the day before the holiday. But I can't get over this.
The Hunter Biden conversation, and no, not just the laptop stuff, but
the stuff about like selling influence andhow it's not actually illegal should be terrifying

(01:00:45):
for so many people in Washington tosay that Joe Biden's a good dude,
and Joe Biden would never take advantageof things, and he's he's just a
nice man. And then to findout that his son is selling influence to
China, an influence to Ukraine andall these other places. And then the
defense by the Republican or excuse me, the Democratic politicians is, yeah,
but he didn't actually have influence.He was selling something he didn't actually have

(01:01:07):
access to. His dad wasn't doingstuff that Biden or that Hunter was promising
that Joe would do. How crazyis that that? The argument is,
yeah, they can make money offof the political positions of their family members
as long as they're just lying topeople, as long as all the things
they're saying is just a way inwhich they don't get any actual influence,

(01:01:29):
and the person just makes a bunchof money. It's crazy. And these
board appointments that everyone gets, whetherit's Nicky Haley or when Hunter was on
the Ukraine bereason aboard. These thingsare all just jokes, and they pay
millions of dollars for that stuff too. Dismantle that. Take that apart.
That sounds great. It should soundgreat to a lot of us. Defending
the border easy as far as Projecttwenty twenty five goes, most people now

(01:01:52):
agree that that's broken. And ifyou live in a big city and you've
seen the amount of resources your cityis spending on illegal immigrants who should not
be gaining your resources because they don'thave a right to be in this country,
and then those resources are depleted atother places. You've got a lot
of people on the South side ofChicago, a lot of black Americans yelling
and screaming, and actually, knowwhat, I'll say something else, This
is very randy. I can't helpit. President Trump in the debate called

(01:02:16):
something black jobs. He said thatillegal immigrants are coming to the United States
and they're taking black jobs. Andthen social media went crazy and they said,
what's a black job? Is thatracist? Is what Trump said?
A horrible, terrible thing where theassumption is that it's this type of job
or a certain level of job.So a whole lot of people are putting
up there look at my black jobvideos, and it's like a guy who's

(01:02:37):
a doctor, or a guy who'sa lawyer, or you know, whatever
is out there. And what Ithink is so interesting about that idea is
it's actually true that there are communitiesthat are losing jobs that have higher levels
of unemployment right now, like theSouth Side of Chicago, because companies are

(01:02:58):
choosing to hire people that are cheaperthat would be illegal immigrants, then hiring
people that used to work those jobs, which are people who live in those
communities, which just so happen tobe black in some of these places.
It's not just that, but itis a thing that's happening. Like there's
data that supports the idea that illegalimmigrants are coming to our community and costing
jobs for you know, specific groupsof individuals. And usually when these sort

(01:03:22):
of things happen, when there's disproportionateimpact on say a minority group, the
left is screaming about it. They'rethe ones yelling and decrying it and saying
how we need to fix it.They're not always explaining why it exists.
But if they notice something in thedata that says that this is going a
certain way, then they try tofix the problem, I think mostly by

(01:03:44):
making it worse. Here, I'llgive you an example out of Chicago.
They're trying to prevent the amount ofgetting pulled over for say a nonviolent related
issue, just to a traffic violation, and then having your car searched and
getting arrested. And the reason whyis they said that a disproportioned amount of
black and brown people were the onesgetting arrested when their car would get searched

(01:04:05):
after being pulled over for having saya tail light out. What they left
out of that information is the peoplewho had their cars searched usually had something
like an illegal gun or drugs orsomething in the car, which is why
they got arrested. They weren't arrestedafter finding nothing in the car. And
so the move to protect people therethat were disproportionately impacted was to refuse to

(01:04:28):
allow cops to search cars if youpull people over for traffic related incidents,
even if you think there's reasonable cause, not allowed to do it anymore.
And so that's insane, But that'salso a government choosing to make a decision
based on what they see in thedata or what they see in the details,
and they find this disproportionate impact hereand then they run on it,

(01:04:51):
they campaign on it. They won'tdo it in this one. But again,
securing the border, fixing some ofthose issues is actually something that helps
everybody. And then finally securing ourgod given individual right to live freely what
our Constitution calls the blessings of liberty. This is things like protecting gun rights,
etc. This is probably the mostarguable on both sides, where what

(01:05:13):
you do and what you say,what is and isn't governed by the government
itself or by our laws is somethingthat I think we can all argue on.
But it's just so funny that that'sprobably the one least focused on.
So this was a deep dive intoProject twenty twenty five, the four core
tenants of it and why the leftand Democrats are going to scream and yell
that it's horrible, But the realityis the biggest thing they're afraid of is

(01:05:38):
that dismantling the government one and takinga whole lot less money, you know,
sending a whole lot less money tothese politicians so they can put it
in their own pockets. And thatseems good to me. That should seem
good to a lot of us.All Right, I'm going to take a
break. I know that there wasa big, giant dive into a specific
topic, but I couldn't help it. It's just it's all over social media.
Be worried about Project twenty twenty five. It's way more important than if

(01:06:00):
Biden's brain no longer works and it'sjust a bowl of soup. All right,

My dog for Roughgreens running with scissorssounds great Compared to this. This is

(01:07:25):
the Chad Benson Show. My nameis Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled
to be with you. A bunchof stuff out there to talk about.
I like throwing trends out, especiallywhen they're younger people. Trends gen Z
millennials. I'm a millennial by theway, so some of this is self
hate. But anyway, gen Zis now officially doing something called sad phishing
on social media, it may meanthat you have a serious psychological issue.

(01:07:47):
According to experts who've looked into this, it's defined as the tendency of social
media users to publish exaggerations of theirpersonality to generate sympathy. This is any
sort of version of you know,this isn't really fair for me, or
this is going bad in this way, or I have this issue and you're
fishing for sad sympathizers or sad fishing. A doctor out of Los Angeles said

(01:08:14):
that this means that you are bothvery very narcissistic, which of course is
true, and also consider the issuesthat you have, the problems you have
to be well, the most importantin the world, which means that you
have a tremendously big psychological problem.I think that so many of the people
who do any of this stuff onthe internet, any of these kind of

(01:08:34):
things where you start to wind upmore and more detached from real life versions
of people and more and more attachedto the fake social media or internet interactions
with people that you have, isit does make you far more likely to
be a person who just thinks allabout yourself. And actually, you know
what's funny about this too, there'sanother piece of data out there where Americans

(01:08:58):
were asked in a conversation, doyou talk enough? Do you think you
listen enough? Do you think theother person talks too much? Or do
you think they listen enough? Andan overwhelming number of people, like sixty
percent of Americans said that they thinkin a conversation the other person talks way
too much. But when asked ifthey talk too much, almost everyone said
no, which isn't possible. Oneof the two things has to be wrong

(01:09:21):
there. And actually, I'll almostthrow this out there as a hack.
If you want someone, especially justlike a colleague, to like you,
just listen. That's all you haveto do. Listen for ten fifteen minutes
a day when you interact with themon anything, ask them how life is,
and you just stand there and listenand don't share a lot of your
own life, and you will bewell liked in most offices because people don't

(01:09:44):
really get a whole lot of thatanymore. I think they'll start to approach
you and talk to you more inthose places because man, that guy just
listens. He's just such a goodlistener, and that's really all it takes.
But truthfully, again, to goback to this. I just thought
it was funny that if you're seeingall these sort of trends in social media
and people that are fishing for sympathy, it means that you're trying to fill
something going on somewhere else in yourlife that you probably need to feel a

(01:10:08):
different way. The Internet's bad essentially. Also, this actually out there for
another story. Be careful next timeyou're on an airplane and you jump on
the in flight Wi fi. Apparentlymore and more hackers are creating what looks
like Internet Wi Fi from the planeon a plane, and it's not.
It's an evil twin is what they'recalling it, and it's something that takes

(01:10:29):
all your information. I think theAustralian Federal Police had, you know,
tease this. The Australian Federal Policesaid they're seeing more of this, but
it's happening on all kinds of flightsall throughout the world, So be careful.
Some of the actions you can taketo protect yourself are using a VPN
or any other sort of security measureand then also accepting the idea that you're
not gonna have Internet while you're ona plane. That's totally fine for some

(01:10:53):
of us, to be out oftouch for a little while is actually sort
of a blessing. I don't wantfree internet on my plane. I like
not having it, but if it'sthere, I can't prevent myself. I
can't stop myself. So I takeit, and I like it, and
it is what it is. Nonetheless, again, be careful, make sure,
maybe even just raise your hand andannoy one of the stewardesses and be

(01:11:14):
like, hey, is this eviltwin Internet or real Internet? And see
if they understand the question. Ifthey understand the question, things are great.
If they lie to you, andmaybe they understand it, but don't
tell you the truth. They're inon it. They're part of the evil
twin Internet, and you should probablymake sure to attack them. No,
I'm kidding, totally kidding, allright, quick break a lot more Craig
Collins filling in on the Chad BensonShow. Coming up in just a little

(01:11:38):
bit. On the show, wewill talk about a robot controlled, well,
a human brain controlled robot. That'sa invention that's out there in the
world that's terrifying for a bunch ofreasons. Also, a mom that was
demanding certain things of kids that werenot her children, while playing with her
child. That probably went just atad too far. She got about a

(01:11:59):
million views in social media for whatshe was complaining about, and a whole
lot of parents disagreed with what shethought was fair. We'll talk about those,
and of course some news of theday and the holiday coming up.
All in just a bit. GregCollins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.
This is the Chad Benson Show,Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This

(01:12:47):
is Chad Benson. This is theChad Benson Show. My name is Craig
Collins, filling in. Thrilled tobe with you a bunch of stuff out
there in the world to talk about. What do you think mainstream media would
reach out to after the Biden disastrousdebate last week and get some information or

(01:13:08):
some reaction Doctor Anthony Faucius, whoI assumed you were guessing. So I'll
play some audio of this. Ihave one thing though before I play that,
and it's just a new rule.I want a politician to, you
know, launch this, not thatanyone would probably do it because it would
hurt all of them equally, butI want them to propose this, and
I want votes on it, andI hope that it passes if you serve

(01:13:30):
any sort of government related role,any role, if you ever have a
political position of any kind, Iwant you to be incapable of making money
off of a book deal. Ijust want that to exist. Like,
fine, write a book, thehistorians can write it. Somebody somewhere can
make money off of it, butnot you. Because the amount of politicians
and political people like a Fauci whowrite a book and then go out there

(01:13:54):
and you know, sell their bookfor weeks at a time, it's so
annoying. I don't I don't careabout your tell all and the other person's
tell all and everybody's tell all.I want them to stop. So I
would love if that were a rule. Just take the books away, just
make it a thing. You canstill write them, but they get no
money, and we're going to haveway less than out there. But anyway,

(01:14:15):
here's Fauci responding to a question aboutBiden's debate and what he thought the
issue was and how smart Biden usuallyis all that stuff that you hear everywhere
else like a bad night, becausemy interaction with him was what I described
in the book, and what happenedeven subsequent to what I described in the
book after I get out. Youknow, he's very probing in his questions,

(01:14:39):
very analytical, very calm about things. You go into brief him major,
you better really know your topic becauseI'm going to ask you very relevant
questions. And he's very reflective onthings and just doesn't jump out with conclusions
or anything, but is very Oh, he's going to be so intimidating.

(01:15:01):
You saw him and how intimidating hewas, and how much he was thinking,
well not speaking, and then seemingto not be thinking when he was
speaking during that debate. But Faucisaid he probably believes that cold medicine might
have been at fault. By theway, Corin John Pierre said that the
president did not take any cold medicine. So there's a swing and a mess
on that idea from the Fauci.But nonetheless, I just thought it was

(01:15:23):
so interesting. He's there to promotehis book. He's there to still sell
you a thing that every politician windsup selling to the American people. And
as he's doing that, he's alsoweighing in on the disastrous debate of the
former president of the current president.Excuse me, I assume he'll it's one
point be a former president in thevery near future, but nonetheless weighing in
on that and still telling us he'snot really a political person. He's not

(01:15:45):
on a political side of the aisle, while having very political takes. The
US is ready to announce two pointthree billion dollars in military assistance for Ukraine.
The amount of spending that has beensent Ukraine's direction in the fight against
Russia is astronomical. And look,you can have any position you want on
this conversation, anyone you want.You can believe that we need to do

(01:16:09):
everything we can to support Ukraine intheir fight against Russia because you cannot allow
Russia to expand. Russia's not acountry that we want to enable. We
want to prevent. We want tohave essentially a proxy war with them through
Ukraine. I understand all those positions, but the thing that I don't get,
especially after Ukraine admitted to embezzling someof the money we sent them,

(01:16:30):
which they did this is probably likesix months ago, is why we still
refuse to have a tremendous amount ofchecks and balances on any money we send
them so we know everything that's accountedfor. It's one of the many versions
of the politicians just don't care.They just send money over here, send
money over there, spend money whereverthey want to spend it, and they
don't really give a crap if youor I agree with it or think that

(01:16:51):
it's too much or too little.Who cares to them, It's just more
of not their money. And soI just think that's interesting that these millions
and billions of dollars that have beensent over and if it was a Biden
talking about it, he'd probably saytrillions and hundreds and a bunch of numbers
that are wrong. But nonetheless,as all of this crazy amount of dollars

(01:17:11):
get sent to places that are notus and we continue to have struggles that
are right here at home, youwonder how many people that overwhelmingly support the
decision to help Ukraine fight Russia alsoeventually look at the sticker price and are
like, wow, like it's reallythat much? Like what are we doing?
How is that happening? Is anyof it being taken for other things?

(01:17:32):
And you know the likelihood is yes, but they're not going to talk
about that a whole lot. Allright. Another thing I want to talk
about and I want to react tois this audio of this actress from Orange
is the New Black advocating for themurdering of Donald Trump. That is truthfully
something that happens at the tail endof this. She's also beyond broken.
She's very, very angry. She'sdone, as she'll tell you multiple times.

(01:17:56):
This is the hottest take of hottakes from the radical left. To
say that very least, But there'ssomething more profound about it that I think
deserves to be discussed. But first, the audio, which I believe to
be fully cleaned up. I'm gamblingevery time I play on the sucker,
and I know that producer Phil ispaying close attention just in case I made
a mistake. But this is awoman famous to some people. I wouldn't

(01:18:17):
have known her name, although Ikind of recognized her from seeing about a
season and a half of Orange isthe New Black. But nonetheless certainly a
far left Democrat who thinks that it'sappropriate for Biden to kill Trump now that
he'd be immune, according to her, from any sort of, you know,
legal problem with doing that, whichis also a very flawed and totally

(01:18:40):
misguided understanding what the Supreme Court actuallychose to do recently. But nonetheless,
Let's play the audio first and thenreact to it. I'm done, seriously
done. The Supreme Court has beoff so much right now, like so

(01:19:02):
much. I always have to stopit there. I love that. It's
like so much. I'm so angryand I'm yelling bad words and telling you
that you got to kill a guy. But also I'm just so upset right
now. You're reasonable, man,you don't want to do this. But
here's the reality. This is awar. Uh huh. This is a

(01:19:23):
war now, and we are fightingfor our country, okay, and these
are gonna take it away. They'regonna take it away. You Clarence,
uncle Thomas. Wow, you Joe, you now have the right. By
the way, she didn't really pauseenough between the FU to Clarence Thomas,
the second one and then the Joe, so it kind of sounded like she

(01:19:45):
was saying that to Joe Biden.Of course she wasn't. But I can't
help but think that a little bit, not that it was intentional. All
right, let's get the take thatTrump out. Take him out, Joe
murder. If he was Hitler andthis was nineteen four, you take him
out, Well, he is Hitlerand this is nineteen forty. It is
not take him the out, wow, blow him up, blow him up,

(01:20:13):
or they'll blow us up. Okay, here's the truth, first and
foremost, and the thing I mostwant to discuss whenever I hear any audio
like this from anybody, and evenyou know, politicians on both sides of
the aisle, Democracy as we knowit is not going to be upended by
anybody in the President's office. It'snot. And I know you're going to
say, well, hey, waita minute, it kind of is.

(01:20:34):
Look at what Biden's doing. He'sgoing after Trump in the court system.
The Supreme Court just issued a hugerejection of some of that stuff that's going
to benefit Trump, because again,our system of checks and balances actually is
working, and the Supreme Court stoppingthe far left agenda has made this person
so so mad that she's advocating forthe murdering of a political rival in the

(01:20:57):
United States, which would be somethingwe don't see in this country very often,
if at all, in the lasthowever many years. But nonetheless is
something that's even just insane and crazyto say out loud into a microphone,
into a camera if you want tocontinue to be famous. But nonetheless,
I think it's interesting because the moreimportant discussion, other than who's likely to

(01:21:19):
be taken out or not taken outby someone being put in the role of
the office of president, is theconversation about how this person, this celebrity,
thinks that they're a good guy.She thinks she's a nice person.
She thinks she's accepting of probably awhole lot of people in her life that
she doesn't look like that, shedoesn't sound like that. She yells at

(01:21:40):
everybody else to accept too, whoeverthey are, whatever they look like.
I'm not trying to be specific aboutthat. And then she advocates for the
murdering of Trump. And this issomeone who in twenty sixteen also said she
would take a bat and beat thecrap out of any Trump supporter. That's
something she eventually took down on socialmedia because I guess saying that you're gonna
blood to death supporters of a guyis a bad thing, but asking for

(01:22:03):
someone to blow them up, that'stotally fine. And honestly, this is
the problem I think, and myassumption is that wokeism is so hard for
the woke to actually live. You'veupended so many different things in your life
you've made every conversation with you justan absolute mindfield of If somebody says something

(01:22:25):
crazy, but they tell me,I have to accept it, and if
I don't accept it a mean thenI have to accept it even if it's
crazy. My favorite example is whenpeople ask to be called a demon.
I've never met any demons. Iknow that they go viral on social media
occasionally. If your pronouns are demonor whatever the word is for female demon,
I can't get there. I'm sorryI can't. But the woke have
to. They have to accept everybodythey think is part of the tribe.

(01:22:46):
And the problem with that is theirbrain knows it's wrong. Their brain knows
this doesn't make any sense. SoI think that's where the rage comes from.
I think that's where the anger setsin, and you start to find
somebody you've got to be angry at. You can't keep bottling it up,
all the confusion, all the stupidity. You got to target it somewhere,
and then you go way too hardat the person that you think actually deserves

(01:23:09):
it. You know what, It'shonestly something I've seen in children. The
best way to sort of articulate thisidea is if you've ever seen kids bully
a kid, and it's horrible wheneveryou see it happen, and you want
to jump in and stop it asan adult, whenever it is you see
it occur. If you have akid that, say, my nephew or
someone comes home and so they gotbullied by other kids, and then you

(01:23:31):
realize that it's probably just one childthat's pushing all the other kids to be
mean to someone else. It's noteverybody hating someone kid, and the one
kid feels like everybody's against them.But truthfully, the bullies push for everyone
else to be involved at the bullying. And you just see that time and
again. And I think you seethat in this world too, in the

(01:23:54):
political world, in everything that youwitness out there. And I think it's
why we have such crazy, stark, ridiculous, you know, far off
to the side opinions on some stuff, is because the bullies, typically actually
the politicians themselves, are getting everyoneelse to gang up, and they're doing
it on purpose, and they wantto watch it happen. They want to
watch, you know, your sideeat the other side. And I bet

(01:24:16):
you there's a bunch of Democrats thatare saying good job when they watch that
video and see that celebrity advocate forthe murdering of Trump, which is just
crazy. It's just crazy, crazy, crazy. But all right, I'll
take a break a little bit more. Craig Collins coming up on the Chad

You know they will. Chad's podcastfound on iTunes, iHeart, Spotify,

(01:26:06):
and wherever you find your favorite COVIDfree podcasts. Oh my gosh,
I kind of like it. I'mnot gonna lie. This is the Chad
Benson Show. This is the ChadBenson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, Thrilled to be withyou just before the holiday. Happy
July fourth to everybody. A robotcontrolled by your brain. That's something that

(01:26:28):
China just put out. You thinkChina would stop innovating in places after the
horribleness of some other things that happenedrecently, but darn it, they don't
care who cares, They're just goingto keep barreling forward. Apparently it need
to be chipped. And then afterthat, a university in China found that
they could get you to control alittle robot that did just basic stuff.
I think it even looks like it'scracking a walnut in its face at one

(01:26:50):
point, which is probably scary becauserobot's bigger. It could crack other things
like you in its face if itwanted to. But anyway, the the
success here is that without any sortof verbal command, without any sort of
computer, the robot was able todo stuff that the human wanted it to
do just by thinking it. Sowe're closer and closer to robot battles where

(01:27:12):
everybody will have their own fighting robotand you'll control it with your brain and
it'll fight other robots, and that'llbe cool. I won't totally hate that
world. I'll be terrified of it. It won't be safe for all of
us, but at the same timepretty sweet. So I'm going to accept
the robot overlords as they take overeverything. I for one welcome them,
and it'll be just fine. Everythingwill be okay, But I didn't think

(01:27:33):
that was interesting. And again,out of all the places to be inventing
stuff that sounds like it might havea horrible impact on the future of our
society, China should just pump thebrakes. And they're not going to do
that. They're not going to listento me at all. All Right,
another thing out there I thought waskind of funny. This is a mom
in Florida. Her name is Kiara. I'm not sure if that's the kind

(01:27:53):
of name where you expect some crazyor not, but Kire nonetheless, I
went to a playground with her kindergartan age child and realize something horrible,
something terrible. Here's what she realized. All the other kids at the playground
didn't want to share the toys theyowned with her child, who didn't bring
any toys to the playground, Andthat's terrible. According to Kiara, again,

(01:28:16):
she thinks that kids should share toysall the time, even if they're
complete strangers and have no idea.If the kid's gonna run away and steal
the thing, you better be sharingthem. So she went crazy, and
she am asked about a half amillion views on social media, screaming at
the other children and their parents toshare the toys. Darn it, my
kid doesn't have any, and it'skind of insane to me. You know

(01:28:39):
what. The funniest part about thisis, though, or the thing that
I thought was most interesting when Iwas a little kid. I'm not trying
to pat myself in the back.I did share stuff. I like playing
with the other kids in the neighborhood, and so you let them have your
toys, You had their toys.It was great, but you felt good
about it as a child. She'staken all that good feeling away from the
kids by yelling at them, screamingat them. How dare you not share

(01:29:01):
your toy or whatever it is withmy kid? How dare you? And
my child needs more toys because inhave any, and he might walk off
and take some of them home.But again, people overwhelmingly disagreed with the
woman. I said that you can'tdemand craziness and strangers, which is probably
a good thing. All right,quick break a lot more Craig Collins filling
in on the Chad Benson Show,and after the break we will talk a

(01:29:25):
little bit more about some of thenews of the day. Some things out
there in the world. I willcontinue to cover some of the more July
fourth related things, like the besthot dog according to the Internet, which
they did decide there's officially a bestway to have a hot dog, and
that is not just anyway, becausehonestly, hot dogs are the least difficult
food in the entirety of the world. If you over complicate that, man,

(01:29:46):
stuff is broken. Also, thereis a story about a woman who
flew to Turkey to have a healthscan because she said it was way cheaper
than in the US, and peoplehave thoughts. I have thoughts about that,
and I'll ask you if you woulddo it. Coming up in just
a bit, Greg Collins filling inon the Chad Benson Show. Such Chad

(01:30:13):
Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, IndependentLife. This is Chad Benson, This

(01:30:38):
is the Chad Benson Show. Myname is Craig Collins filling in. I
think CNN is one of the firstplaces that actually broke this. Also the
New York Times. Of course,here we go, let's play this Good
Morning top of the Hour. Youare live in the CNN newsroom, America
Hill in New York, and wedo begin this hour with breaking news.
The New York Times reporting President Bidenhas told an ally, a close ally,

(01:30:59):
he is considering whether to stay inthe presidential race. This is the
first indication mister Biden could end hisreelection bid as the fallout from his disasters
debate performance continues to be felt.And can I actually you're done? Can
I throw out a conspiracy theory here? I'm going to throw I can't help
it. I can't. I know, tomar's the fourth of July. I

(01:31:20):
know, we all want to bepatriotic and together and kumbay and whatnot.
You have probably at least a fewpeople in your life that believed that from
jump this was going to happen,that Biden was not going to be the
candidate in twenty twenty four. Youbelieve that they believe that whoever it is
out there thought these things, andnow it's probably going to happen. And

(01:31:45):
so what I think is really interestingabout it is the official version of events
is that he was absolutely the candidateand then suddenly his brain started working less
well. And that happened right aboutthe time of that first debate. And
now he's got to drop out andsomebody else has to take over. And
by the way, there is atleast one story out there. I think
it's from the AP that says MichelleObama is the only Democrat that would beat

(01:32:06):
Trump, and so whether or notshe actually winds up in the race,
which I think is still probably unlikely, I think Vice President Harris is the
most likely replacement of Biden at thispoint. Well, we'll see, because
she's not going to beat anybody.She's deeply unpopular. But nonetheless that version
of events that you might accept seemslike what happened to a lot of media.
But here's the other thing. Iwas thinking, what if, and

(01:32:28):
this is the conspiracy theorist in you. The plan was all along to let
Biden stumble and fall, and sowhatever they shot him up with during the
State of the Union, they didn'tgive him the same stuff right before the
debate, and he was expecting thejuice and nobody gave him the juice.
It sort of feels like to me, if you asked one of those,
you know, steroid era baseball guysto play a couple of years without steroids,

(01:32:49):
and as a Yankee fan, aRod did that and he was not
as good as steroid A Rod was, and that was sad for us.
But I wonder if that's a partof it. I wonder if they knew
that just not shooting him up withthe right thing. It also reminds me,
this is a weird thing for itto remind me of. But I'm
a millennial of Space Jam, theMichael Jordan movie with Bugs Bunny. Yes,

(01:33:10):
in that movie, there was amoment where they were drinking water that
they were pretending had magical properties toit, and then you found out later
it was just water because it's akids movie and it's a you know,
lift you up moment. But maybethey gave Joe water this time and didn't
give him the real stuff, andthat's part of the issue. I'm not
really sure, but nonetheless I willnot be remotely surprised, neither will you
or anyone else at this point ifBiden does not remain the candidate. And

(01:33:32):
here's the reason why, conspiracy theoryor not, it just makes sense.
It's just the right thing to do, because his brain does not work,
and that is not a good personto be leading our country. Most of
us feel that way. Most ofus believe that thing, and hopefully those
who don't, those who are stillholding out, eventually accept the sad,
sad state of affairs. All right, another thing out there that I thought

(01:33:55):
was insane. And this is something. Look you see this a lot now,
Hunter Biden in trouble, Hunter Bidenfelony, gun charge, Hunter Biden
drug issues, naked photos on theinternet. And the narrative on the left
is Joe Biden just really loves hiskid. Joe Biden is the kind of
father that it's all fatherly love,and so this might be another version of

(01:34:16):
that. But Hunter Biden walked intoa room in the White House after escorting
his dad in after their trip toCamp David in horrible debate, and just
stayed there and he heard a lotof stuff that he shouldn't have heard,
and some of the reporting on itwas insane. I'll play some of the
reporting in a second, but firstlet's play caring John Pierre, the White
House spokesperson, answering questions about whythe heck Hunter Biden was in a closed

(01:34:41):
door room with the President and alot of high value people when he should
not be in said room. Herewe go, We're reporting that Hunter Biden
has been in some meetings with senioradvisors. Why is the president's son involved?
So a couple of things I do. I saw that reporting as I
was coming out. Couple of thingsthere. Look, the President, as
you know, is very close tohis family. This is a holiday week,

(01:35:04):
fourth of July. He spent timewith his family, as you all
know, and reported at Camp DavidHunter came back with him and walked with
him into that meeting, that prep, that speech prep, and you know,
and he ended up spending time withhis dad and his family that night.

(01:35:24):
That is basically what happened. Itis a week where there's going to
be more family members who are goingto come to the White House. I'm
sure you'll see some of them onfourth or July. Many more are expected
to be here being in the WhiteHouse. The question though, would be
is he participating in meetings fie guysover there. I love the fact that
you try to get her back ontracks, like is this a family thing.
It's the holidays. People are goingto be in and out. People

(01:35:45):
are going to pick up top secretinformation and just leave it places. Somebody
needs a coaster for some of theiritems. I mean, you can't hold
a hot dog if it's too hotwithout wrapping it in some secret information.
I mean, what version of lifeis this hold on. Let's get aback,
senior advisors. What I can sayis that he came back with his
dad from camp. David walked himinto the speech prep and he was in

(01:36:09):
the room. That I can tellyou he was in the room. Anything
else coming out of that reporting Ican't speak to. But I can say
that you know he's close to hisfamily, which is not unusual the other
a campaigns. He's close. He'sclose as family. He never works alone.
He doesn't want to do any ofhis jobs alone. He has everybody
with him. By the way,this was NBC's version of reporting on this
story. New Tonight, NBC Newsreports that first son Hunter Biden joined meetings

(01:36:31):
with the President and senior staff thisweek in the West Wing. Reaction from
senior staff described as what the hellhas happened? The White House had this
explanation. I already heard the WhiteHouse's explanation on it. I love the
what the hell is happening a versionof a reaction to things. Biden's brain
doesn't work, and Hunter seems tothink that he gets to be in charge
now because he would like to havethe shell of his father continue to run

(01:36:54):
for office. And then he getsto continue to sell influence to other places.
It's scary. It's sad actually,to be honest, A part of
that just makes me feel bad fora person that is no longer in a
place where they seem to be capableof any of the things they were capable
of before. Even if I don'tlike that person, and even if I
don't like the stuff they did,I still feel bad something about it.

(01:37:15):
I don't know if it's the Catholicin me. I'm not really sure what
it is, but that's out there. That's a story, and the official
response from the White House is thatJoe just loves his family and it's the
holiday season, so darn it,he can't take part in any of these
high profile, supposed to be closeddoor, classified conversations without a few family
members just hanging around. That'll befine, and they'll all go for ice

(01:37:38):
cream after, which will be finetoo. Another thing I saw, and
I'm not going to play the audio, but I did find it hilarious.
There's a CNN story about never trumpers. These are GOP voters, mostly women,
which is maybe surprising to so I'mnot so surprising to others, But
that's who CNN shows to interview mostlywomen that say they never would vote for

(01:37:59):
Trump and their reaction to Biden's debateperformance last week. Now, the reason
I'm not going to play the audiois the narrator has like the most somber,
slow delivery in the history of deliveries. It's so annoying to listen to
it. I can't do it.But what I thought was interesting and you
can go find it yourself. It'scalled never Trumper's react to Biden's debate performance.

(01:38:19):
It's on CNN. I'm not tryingto advocate for a CNN but you
can find it. You can watchit there, so you know none of
the stuff I'm telling you a lie. A One woman even admits that,
like her husband is likely to votefor Trump and she's not gonna and that
makes their house interesting. And Ibet you it does. I believe that.
But more than anything, all thesewomen, all these never Trumpers,
seem so upset that Biden is thechoice because he's horrible. Because he's terrible.

(01:38:44):
So even the people that are mostanti and still within whatever party lines
you're supposed to be in to Trumpwill not would never vote for a Biden
based on just how broken his brainis. And again I guess that leads
into something that I was talking aboutjust a second ago, and that audio
that broke from the New York Timesand seeing it in other places that Biden

(01:39:05):
has told close allies of his thathe may not run for reelection after all,
he might back out. They mighthave an open primary, whatever it
might be that could happen. Governorsare also on their way to the White
House to chat with Biden. Ifeel like, you know what they should
do. Hunger Games. The governor'sPritzker Newsome, whoever it is that they

(01:39:26):
think is the heir apparent, andit'd be hilarious. Man do a version
of Hunger Games, and then whoevercomes out of that thing both alive and
whatever else you need it to be. They don't need to kill each other.
Maybe find a lesser version or squidgame, just without the murder.
But again, some sort of Igot it. Here's the best idea.
Let's go back to American Gladiators.It's the fourth of July. It'd be

(01:39:47):
nice get those guys from that showTaser and Laser and all the rest of
them and have them do the offenseversus all of the Democratic mayors that want
to be the presidential candidate, andwhoever wins gets to be the nominee,
you probably will still lose to Trump, but that would be hilarious. I
would be in not to voting forthe Democrat, but at least watching that

(01:40:10):
whole thing play out. That wouldbe fantastic. And I feel like odds
are that there'd be some dark horsesthat would emerge as people who are likely
to do well in the American gladiatorevents that you wouldn't have thought of as
primary candidates to replace Joey when thetime comes. But we'll see. It
will be interesting how exactly they goabout it and what the next course of
action is. One last thing beyondthe never trumpers and the really weird CNN

(01:40:34):
story about them, Trump has spokea little after the Supreme Court decision that
said that he does get immunity asthe president of the United States, something
that is kind of clearly within theConstitution, and that he doesn't have immunity
for unofficial acts that he carries outas a private citizen, well, either
in the role or not in therole of President of the United States.

(01:40:57):
One of the things that's really important, I guess in the last twenty four
hours is the way it's impacted thecriminal hush money case, if that's what
you want to call it. OnManhattan pushed back the sentencing from somewhat in
the near future to September as theydecide how much of an impact the Supreme
Court decision has on that case.And this is a joke of a case

(01:41:17):
to a lot of people. Iplayed a mashup of audio a couple weeks
ago in a different radio place Iam, and by the way, you
can find me radio craigc on Facebook, on Twitter, on x I guess
is the right way to call itthat, Although I don't really pay attention
much text like I should on podcasteverywhere the Craig Collins Show. If you
want to get more of my takeson a daily basis, they're out there.

(01:41:39):
But one thing I played was abunch of CNN and MSNBC and left
leaning media audio saying how terrible theManhattan case was against Trump when it first
came out, and there were somany takes that landed in that world,
and now, of course they're verydifferent, and everybody's so upset that the
Supreme Court might have upended the callinghim a convicted felon stuff that's out if

(01:42:00):
this winds up getting totally thrown outor totally changed because of the Supreme Court
decision. And so I just findthat fascinating that we're at a state in
our society politically, if you geta win that you don't expect, you
have to completely change your mind abouthow good of a win it was and
tell everybody around you, this wasa real good win. We're really happy

(01:42:20):
about this. And then once thewin gets taken away that you never expected,
that you thought was bad in thefirst place, and only potentially taken
away too, I should say,and now you have to be unhinged and
upset and crazy and yelling and everyone, because this has to be the worst
thing that's ever happened in our society. However, I will say one other
quick thing about the whole presidential immunitystuff that would have had a lasting impact

(01:42:45):
on the way in which the politicalgame was performed if presidents didn't have criminal
immunity for official acts of the roleof president, if they chose something else,
if they chose that you could begone after in a courtroom before even
being impeached, without ever being impeached. All that stuff that would have caused
an issue were every couple years everypresident faced multiple charges of crimes that they

(01:43:11):
were saying were committed. That wouldhave just been something we would have seen
on repeat forever, I think ifit weren't for this decision by the Supreme
Court. So you should be happyas we barrel toward the future that they
went this road and not a differentroad that would have caused a political game
that was already likely to happen.That would have been horrible. All right,
quick break a lot more. CraigCollins filling in on the Chad Benson

(01:44:45):
to the chat. Autonomous sound whoobipolar. There's a lot of things that
I love about Hitler. No bipartisan, don't abandon, don't censor. Yes,
the Chad Benson Show where free speechand uncensored thought run wild. That's

(01:45:05):
crazy. This is the Chad BensonShow. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, thrilled to be withyou bunch of stuff out there. To
talk about. First, let's dothis. A woman said that it's too
expensive to do all of her healthrelated scans and whatnot in the United States.
She's also twenty something and attractive,so she has a social media following.

(01:45:27):
So she put up a video ofher flying to Turkey and getting a
full body scan and other stuff donethere for eight hundred bucks. She said
it would have cost her tens ofthousands of dollars to do that and other
medical procedures here that she's been doingfor the past couple of years. By
finding the country to go to,flying abroad and doing it there, she
estimates that she's saved, as Isaid, close to one hundred thousand dollars.

(01:45:48):
Again, she's a content creator.She's somebody that wants you to click
and follow and do all the things. But apparently a whole bunch of other
people that do what she does havealso been putting up healthcare tour videos,
and the hashtag has got thirty millionviews online. It amassed thirty million different
interactions over the last however many yearsit's existed. That's crazy. The most

(01:46:11):
commonplaces that people choose to go Europe, South America, Asia for any sort
of health procedures. I remember,and I talked about this on the radio
at some point that in my twentieswhen the hair follicles first started to give
up on stuff. And I stillhave hair on the top of the head,
not as much as i'd like tohave up there. It's not as
bad as I think it is,but it's you know, gonna one day

(01:46:34):
not be a thing. But whenit first started to happen, I remember
researching the cheapest, most valuable placeto get hair transplant surgery, meaning that
both the cost and the likelihood ofgood work is the perfect mix. And
I remember finding that India was apretty good place to go for that.
Never went, never took the trip. I remember my mom calling me and

(01:46:56):
being like, please don't do that, Please don't fly to India and get
hair plugs. And I'm like,all right, well, I'll keep thinking
about it. But I get theidea, I get the hope. I
just wonder if when it's stuff onyour body and faith, if you really
want to spend lower prices. Idon't necessarily want to buy the store brand
version of hair plugs if you canafford the other version, even if you
have to save up for it oneother quick thing out there. I hate

(01:47:20):
pineapple on pizza. I hate pineappleand all kinds of things. But apparently
Little Caesars is bringing back their pineapplepepsi. People are happy about this,
and it has caused a really weirdcommercial about a guy daydreaming in the sun
to go viral. That seems tobe a guy who's very much not drinking
pepsi but probably having some sort ofdrug induced something. Here we go pineapple

(01:47:44):
on I think trust and pepsi pineapple? What is this Little Caesar pop?
Pop a pineapple? There? Oh? Goody pineapple? Yeah, that guys
sounds like he's doing drugs. Hedoes not sound like he's doing pineapples at
all, but this went viral.I'll see you later. Greig Collins filling
