Speaker 1 (00:10):
Independent thoughts, Independent life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, Thrilled to be
with you. Bunch of stuff to talk about out there.
I do love a graph I think that MSNBC shared,
So I'll just start with that and then we'll get
into a bunch of different audio and other clips. Apparently,
back in January, Kamala Harris's approval rating in this country
twenty eight percent.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Not a lot of people were big fans.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
At the beginning of the summer, it hadn't gone up
very much thirty two percent. Now, according to media and
specifically MSNBC, Kamala Harris's approval rating in this country forty
eight percent.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
It has jumped a bunch. What has changed?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
That was the question people are asking, what did she
do that was a success?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
You can't add to that. There was nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
She essentially got to take the nomination without getting any votes.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
So what did she do?

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Media decided to start covering her like she's amazing. They
talk about how qualified, how incredible, how whatever else they
say she is. So media coverage alone profoundly changed when
it comes to Harris, and that has caused her to
have a skyrocketing approval rating, at least according to MSNBC.
I still don't think many Americans know much about her,

(01:29):
and I mean that genuinely. So I'm not sure that
this really is a valuable stat if it's a stat
that anyone could trust at all. But nonetheless, it's out there,
and I just thought it was amusing. All right, let's
move on to a bunch of the audio and things
out there in the world. There were a couple moments
that I thought were really interesting in Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.
He sat down with farmers and he had a conversation,

(01:52):
and he has John Deere tractors sitting behind him as
he's saying these things into a microphone with cameras rolling
and everything. And this is an approach to getting certain
groups to make sure that they vote for you in large,
large numbers by saying what you say in this moment.
And it's all about if John Deere takes some of

(02:13):
its manufacturing away, they're going to be well punished for it,
I think, is the way that Trump would say it,
or the way that anyone else would say it. So
here we'll play a little bit of what he said,
and I just thought it was interesting that you say
this as you have the tractors sitting behind you.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors. I know
a lot about John Dere. I love the company, but
as you know, they've announced a few days ago that
they're going to move a lot of their manufacturing business
to Mexico. I'm just notifying John Deere right now, if
you do that, we're putting a two hundred percent tariff
on everything that you want to sell into the United States,

(02:49):
so that if I win, John Deere is going to
be paying a two hundred percent They haven't started it yet,
maybe they haven't even made the final decision yet, but
I think they have. John Deere is going to and
anybody else that does this, because it's turning our farmers,
it's turning on manufacturing, and if you do that, you're
gonna have a two hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Terrible I think that's really interesting.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I don't know why they set up John Deere behind
him for the event that he's at. I don't know,
if you know, the people who organized it were trying
to be nice to John Deere, but it's Trump saying, hey,
real quick, if this happens, I'll be very upset about it,
and I'll do this because of it. People do say
that that would harm our economy, and I'm not sure
that that's necessarily true, but I do think it's interesting

(03:30):
because obviously the threat is designed to get people to
not do that, to not actually move the manufacturing out
of the country and then stay here and then hopefully, well,
that benefits us in a lot of ways. But it's
an interesting approach because and I wanted to compare these things.
When I talk about Harris, or when anyone talks about
Harris and her apparent new popularity, you have to describe

(03:52):
the moments that made you think that there's something about
her that you actually like. And I don't think that
people can do that. I don't think there's an interview
you or a moment or a discussion anything where you
go see that's when I saw the person that I
think could be a leader of this country or could
do all this great stuff, And instead you just have
these moments of media telling you how great she is

(04:15):
with Trump.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I'm sure if you're someone working.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
In a manufacturing company, someone working for John Deere, and
you don't want to see your warehouse go away. That
that moment's the moment where you're like, I'm voting for him.
I just assume that that's the difference between the two,
and that he does that with John Deere Tractors sitting
behind him.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
All right.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Other things out there that I thought were interesting. This
was also from that same event in Pennsylvania. This was
a small town trucker that was talking about how many
Haitians have come to his little town in Pennsylvania and
how he believes that everyone in the country is going
to start seeing more and more of this. If Harris
is in charge. You know what I like about this.

(04:55):
I'll tell you what I genuinely like about this. If
you pull someone from the town into your rally to
talk about what they're experiencing. It's quite a bit different
than in the debate having Trump say something and then
everyone challenge it, and certain people go to a small
town or go to Springfield, Ohio in that case, and
tell us what's actually going on there. This is a

(05:17):
guy who lives there, So whether or not it means
that you trust him or don't trust him any more
than anyone else. At least it's someone who's actually in
the place that's telling you some stuff that is going
on there.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
And no, he doesn't say anything about pets.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
He just talks about how much harder it is in
his small town right now, and how jobs are becoming
less available because other people are getting hired for them.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
My name's Ernie.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
I'm here as a representative for resident.

Speaker 7 (05:42):
Of a small town of Sholeroypa, which you.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
May have heard on the news here recently.

Speaker 7 (05:48):
Over half of our town is now filled with Haitian
immigrants and illegal immigrants brought into taking our jobs away.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
That I like the boo say, like boo, we don't
like that.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
That there is a nation killing practice, sure, which is
brought in by the federal government and specifically the Biden
Harris administration. And I'm here with a dire warning to
every American. This isn't going to stop unless we can
take our country back.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, that is true too.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
I believe that the practice right now of trying to
sort of change the demographics of the country, and especially
in these smaller towns and throughout the entirety of the
United States, that is very red not necessarily the big
cities or the coasts, but.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
All that stuff in the middle.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Putting a lot of people in those places and then
trying to find a way to get them to vote
so that they vote for the other side is essentially
the game.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's the idea, it's the whole mission.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
And I love the fact that you have a small
town guy saying it into a microphone instead of anybody else,
because that should carry a different sense of well, all right,
this guy lives there, this is his own experience. We're
not going to question it quite the same way. Although,
of course, if you show up and speak at a rally,
there's probably a lot of reason that some people might
think that you're just going to say whatever they ask.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
You to say.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
But I think that's a better approach to having these
conversations about the amount of small towns that are vastly
impacted by the decision making of the current administration.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
All right, we'll move on again. Let's do this. I
thought this was really interesting.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
This is Jim Acosta on CNN talking about some of
this data coming out of the New York Times, data
that says that with specific minority groups I Latino voters
and places like Arizona, there's now a spike of support
for Donald Trump, which would, I guess, fly in the
face of some of this other stuff that's being said
out there. But I love how he says this one

(07:44):
thing about this poll that I couldn't get over. How
funny I thought that was. And it's not going to
sound funny. I'm going to have to explain to you
why I'm amused by it. But first here we go
other things that.

Speaker 8 (07:56):
We should note, and I don't know if we can
show this number. I want to put this up on screen.
Latino voters have moved away from Harris in Arizona. If
you believe this New York Times poll, her lead has
shrunk by eleven points in that voting block. It was
she was at sixty percent in August now forty nine percent.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Sixty percent in August now forty nine percent. Trump was
at thirty seven percent in August now forty one undecided
jump from four percent to ten percent. That's according to
New York Times. The thing that I thought was hilarious
is Jim Acosta says, if you believe this New York
Times poll. Of course, Donald Trump was famous for calling
it the failing New York Times, questioning it saying it

(08:35):
was politically biased all this stuff, but when it puts
out something that's not necessarily beneficial to Democrats, all of
a sudden, you hear someone like an Acosta be like, well,
I don't know, maybe this one's not true, and maybe
he just thinks that it's an error in polling or something,
no matter how confident the Times is about it.

Speaker 9 (08:51):
But I love that.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I love that I heard him say those words.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
And maybe it's just because he doesn't like the dat
that he's willing to throw out the question. But apparently
he's now someone who agrees with Trump that the New
York Times at certain moments is not as powerful as
we thought it was.

Speaker 8 (09:07):
Here one more time, Latino voters have moved away from
Harris in Arizona. If you believe this New York Times.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Poll, which I don't, I wish you just started calling
it the failing New York Times. That would be awesome.
I would be thrilled to hear that go down. It
just seems like this is the world we live in
right now. In some other ways, where people just sort
of invent whatever it is they think they need to
be true in order to benefit their side of the
political party. I have one more example of that. Actually,

(09:36):
I found this kind of interesting. A Senator Chris Coons
was on MSNBC or excuse me, CNBC and having a
conversation about the economy, and he kind of had a
lead in to his answer that somewhat I think didn't
fully reflect the reality of the world we live in
right now and the feeling of most Americans as far

(09:58):
as the economy goes, and into that by saying, oh, yeah,
people are much happier with Harris right now than they've
been in the past. And I don't necessarily think that
that's entirely true in what we've seen so far. But
what I really loved was what he said after that,
and how much it seems to be just his own
invention as opposed to the reality. He's telling you you're wrong. Here,

(10:20):
I'll play it. He's saying that most Americans are idiots.
Not the word he chose, but basically the sentiment.

Speaker 10 (10:26):
It is narrowing. The gap between Harrison Trump on who
do you believe will chart a better economic future for us?
Has narrowed quite a bit by half. Part of it
is that Americans, when you ask the question are you
better off today than you were four years ago? Many
Americans misremembered just how bad the economy was.

Speaker 9 (10:43):
Four years ago.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh yeah, we misremember.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's not that the economy was better, that my money
went further, that your money went further, that everything was.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Different than it is right now. It's that we're confused.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
I misremember the same way that Roger Clemens said, Andy
Pettitt misromm when Andy said that Roger did steroids. That
was a weird reference and not a lot of people
are going to get it. But that's the last time
I remember misremember being used so significantly as a word.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
That seemed like crap.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
But Chris Coones telling us out loud that it's not
the fault of the administration that inflation has made it
so much harder for us to buy stuff. Even if
our wages have gone up, they haven't gone up at
the same rate as inflation. That's not our you know,
correct understanding of society. That's just wrong, that's inaccurate. We're confused,
and we're misremembering how terrible everything was that entire time

(11:34):
that Trump was in office. I love that, you know,
you could just say that about anything. If you're like,
I think this was pretty good. Naw, you misremember that
that was real bad. Now stop thinking and just listen
to me and do whatever I tell you to do.
Is essentially the sentiment all the time. All right, A
lot coming up on the show today. Thrilled to be here,
filling in for Chad Benson, thrilled to be with you.

(11:56):
I promise after the break we'll talk about some sillier
stuff though. Craig Collins filling in on the chaddentson show.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 13 (13:51):
This is The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in Thrilled to be with you. Chad is back tomorrow.
If you feel overwhelmed, apparently there's a suggestion out there
for you. This comes from a couple different places. I
think ABC was one of the places that broadcasts this.
Make a to don't list, not a to do list,
but a list of stuff you're not gonna do, and

(14:15):
whether that's stuff that you feel like you kind of
need to do or just stuff that you feel like
you know you definitely don't want to do and someone
might ask you to do.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
I just put a list together of the stuff that
you're going to skip out on. I don't schedule meetings
before eleven a m is an example. I don't skip
lunch just to keep working is another one. I don't
over commit to social engagements. Just put all these things down.
Don't offer to do favors for anybody. I don't care
who's asking and why they're asking and what they need.

(14:44):
You know, if your mom comes to you and is
in desperate need is something, say no, baby, and that'll
make you feel better that sounds awful. That doesn't sound
right at all. But I do love this, and I
do think it makes sense for you to at least
look on a piece of paper and you know, think
to yourself, Hey, I guess what, I get to have
as much control over my life as possible. Some people

(15:06):
forget that from time to time you actually wield all
this power in your own everyday life. Another thing that
I kind of loved that's out there that I saw
thirty four percent of Americans have had an argument over
dishwasher use. Thirty four percent said yes, fifty nine percent
said no. That to me is hilarious that you would
actually fight over just the dishwasher use. It's not the dishes,

(15:28):
it's how often they're getting loaded, it's all that kind
of stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't even have a dishwasher.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Me and the missus have had fights about who's doing
the dishes before, but we don't have the luxury of
putting stuff in a machine and letting it go on
and off, which I find hilarious that this is a
thing that people fight about and also just feel.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Bad for you.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
All right, quick break. A lot coming up is Craig
Collin's filling in on the Chad Benson Show. But I
actually should tell you before I take that break that
there's a couple other things coming up that are certainly important.
This story about the Trump assassin and six cell phones
and the letter that I was referencing a little bit
yesterday just keeps getting crazier, and even some of the

(16:06):
plans he had to take an unmarked car across the
border into Mexico. There's just sort of an insanity to
the amount of pieces here, and people are asking why
the sophistication, Why was there so much need to try
to disguise communication, and it could just be a crazy person,
but some are asking if it's something else going on there.
But six cell phones sounds insane, And of course, as

(16:30):
everyone else is happy about this, I'm glad the guy
didn't even get to take a shot off that someone
saw his rifle poking out a hole before Trump actually
winds up in a place where he could be hurt
by this person. But the insanity of this story just
continues to grow, and yet I feel like it's not
really getting talked about anywhere near as much as it
should by much of the mainstream media, And we should

(16:53):
be hearing more about this, so I'll dive a little
deeper into all the details. Certainly ask questions that maybe
a lot if you are asking about it. But it's
just sort of surreal to me that this person, unlike
the first person who attempted to kill Trump, is still live,
has been captured, is in custody, and as we find
out these things about him, it seems to not be

(17:15):
a snowball effect of, you know, mainstream media asking why
so we'll do it all right?

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Quick break a lot more.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Creig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show, s Chad.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Benson Show, Independent Thought, Independent Life.

Speaker 13 (18:02):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff
out there to talk about. Let's do this. Let's first
talk about p Diddy just a little bit. Sean Diddy
Combs fifty four arrested, sex trafficking, racketeering charges, all kinds
of disgusting, awful stuff. Freak off parties are one of

(18:28):
the things that are being discussed and in a lot
of headlines all over the place. I thought this was
interesting though apparently people are now combing through, whether it's
Twitter and certain celebrities who are deleting all of the
tweets they've ever put up, or even the Keeping Up
with the Kardashian show, because apparently at some point Chloe
Kardashian or one of the Kardashians I don't even really

(18:49):
pay that much attention to them, said something about a
p didty party and about Justin Bieber going to one
of these things.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
And this is now all over the news. How odd
that people.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Are now going back and looking for clues and hints
to how sort of accidentally honest some places were about
some of the craziness that might have been going on
behind the scenes that we weren't totally aware of, and
you go find it in Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
If that actually comes up in like a courtroom, if
someone goes to the Chloe Kardashian clip and plays it

(19:21):
and then asks p ditty about it, it'll just scream
how weird the world is that we live in today.
That's just a thing out there. And yeah, I thought
about playing the clip myself, but I don't want to
do that. It's the Kardashians. I want to skip this
as best I can. Essentially, it's just saying that Justin
Bieber went to a naked person party or something, which

(19:42):
honestly is probably just the tipping of the iceberg. That
is that whole world that we're going to find out
about through all these cases and all the different individuals
who might wind up being involved in it.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
All.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Right, another thing, I'm just going to move on from
the craziness of that. Another thing that I saw that
I thought was really interesting out there in the world.
ABC seven in Chicago was talking about a recent town
hall meeting in which the city council approved a fifty
one million dollar budget to fund illegal immigrant housing.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
So this is crazy.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I think the fifty one million dollars only accounts for
like thirty days of putting people into houses. And the
part that matters more than anything to me is how
outraged the residents were who attended this meeting. It's not
often that you see people get dragged out of a
city council meeting by police, but according to reports in Chicago,

(20:34):
that's exactly what had to happen.

Speaker 14 (20:36):
Well, thirty four aldermen voted for the fifty one million.
It did not come out without a lot of controversy,
especially from some black residents who say the money should
go towards Chicago residents who have been neglected for years.

Speaker 15 (20:51):
Very much committed to a revenue stream or revenue streams
that ensure that we are dealing with the crises of
those who are unhoused in the city of Chicago while
also making sure that there's a room for those that
we are welcoming.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
We need to allocate some of this money for our
black children by the black community.

Speaker 14 (21:15):
Fifty one million dollars for migrants brought some loud and
vocal opposition from the public, to the point where police
had escort people out of the city council meeting several times.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's crazy. Sorry, all this reporting is just nuts.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
And the one thing I'll say, and I can go
back to the Brandon Johnson moment he is the mayor
Chicago when he calls people unhoused, are there's something sort
of amazing? And I know you've probably heard some version
of this rant before, but I can't help it. Are
there something amazing about sanitizing words as often as Democrats
or anyone does in order to hopefully trick you into

(21:47):
being more supportive of something they know you're going to hate.
It's such a stupid game. It would be like sitting
down with your boss and a lot of people have
this happen in their workplace and them saying the most
politically career sort of ridiculous version of things. As you're
getting reprimanded, but you're not really sure you're getting in
trouble because of the way they keep articulating stuff. And

(22:08):
then you walk out of the room, you're like, I'm
pretty sure I got in trouble just there.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
But I think they tried to sanitize as much as
they could. And I don't even know why.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
They're just gonna assume you're stupid or they're they're assuming
that this somehow helps them convince you, convince you into
thinking that what they're doing is right. But nonetheless, police
are dragging out residents and if you caught it right
at the beginning of the clip, the reporter also says
it was a lot of black residents of the South
Side of Chicago who are mad. So a lot of

(22:35):
Democratic voters is what you assume as far as demographics go,
although this year probably not so much. I imagine the
South Side of Chicago might actually vote for Trump. Because
of how angry they are at these policies and how
consistent these policies are are occurring there. But fifty one
dollars again for thirty days of housing is insanity. And

(22:56):
it's the kind of thing that makes you again wonder
how you could possibly be in a place where most
Americans aren't being more vocal about how angry they are
about this. And then actually, let's go to something else.
And I know this is viral and all over social
media today, all over X or Twitter. There's that poll
from the New York Times that Jim Acosta doesn't believe

(23:16):
that I was talking about a little bit earlier in
the show about how more Latino voters and voters of
other demographics are leaning away from Kamala Harrison toward Donald Trump,
and some I guess in these media places are unsure
if it's true. So we flash back to something that
happened just earlier this month on CNN talking about all
these different polls, and even if some of them show

(23:37):
that Harris is doing better than Trump leading him in
certain demographics, the numbers themselves are worse than we've ever
seen at any point in an election between a Democrat
and a Republican, especially between a Democrat and Trump on
a lot of these issues. Here is CNN talking about
this and dealing with the fallout of having one of

(23:58):
their talking heads say the truth on their television station.

Speaker 16 (24:01):
She is the worst polling Democrat against Donald Trump in
history on national polls. No one is performing worstener. No
one's forming worsener among Blacks among Hispanic's, the worst waring
Democrat in modern history among the demmographics, worst performing polling
wise among Jews. She is losing key factions of the
Democratic based Muslim voters. She's under fifty two percent in

(24:21):
the latest care poll among Black Muslims.

Speaker 9 (24:24):
She is not doing well.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I love that version.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
She's not doing a good job in a lot of
these groups that she needs to do a good job
in order to win the election. And then you have
two other people sitting there. Van Jones is one of them,
just like, I don't know if I like this, even
if it's all true information and accurate information that's being shared.
But again, that's the discussion right now, that's the version
of conversation that that matters to a large amount of

(24:48):
the people live in this country is whether or not
they think that what's going on makes sense, and if
the person in charge would do a better job, if
that person is someone who's already a part of this administration,
or someone who's been in charge before and definitely was
against this stuff. You know, I'll say it this way,
and it's just a basic thought, but it's one that

(25:09):
I've had often over the last few years. You couldn't
have tailored right now the issues that are most important
to many Americans to be better suited for Trump to
try to win an election. The number one issue at
the forefront of most of our minds is a legal
immigration and the amount of people here in this country

(25:29):
and the inabilities to sustain supporting them for free through
government funding. That is a number one issue to most Americans.
You couldn't have tailored that better in twenty sixteen when
Trump was first talking about that as being an issue
that you would attribute to him having a different take
than everyone else on and that just one of them.
The economy is another huge issue that seems to benefit Trump,

(25:51):
the ongoing conflicts throughout the world, and an ability to
point to, whether you like it or not, a way
to avoid some of those things, or at least as
far as Trump is concerned some countries being worried he
was too unpredictable to make the moves. Not all countries
that have chosen to do things that they didn't do
when Trump was in charge, but some countries that were

(26:13):
just too worried about if Trump would actually take action
that they're not afraid this administration is going to take.
But it's just it's fascinating to me. The New York
Times also has an article out that I thought was interesting.
On the headline of that article is Trump tells women
that they won't be thinking about abortion when they're voting.
That essentially, Trump is someone and his policies are in

(26:36):
a certain way designed to make that issue a non
issue for people voting in the federal election, voting for
the president because he doesn't believe in doing anything different
than what has occurred right now, and essentially that means
taking power out of the hands of the president, out
of the hands of the federal government.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
As far as if abortion is right or wrong for you.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
So what I think is interesting about that take is
that it's not necessarily true that voters showing up at
pulls throughout the country won't be thinking about this issue
because if you're voting locally on something, and a lot
of Democrats have tried to make some overarching, you know,
pull a part of what you vote for in November
that says, do you want or do you not want

(27:20):
us to ban abortion? Some version of that some weird
a lot of places I've seen this to be true,
certainly in places where they hope that numbers could sway
something one way or the other.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Just want to put abortion by itself as a.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
As a line item on your ballot to get people
to show up to vote, and then to get people
to hopefully check all the d boxes down the board
after that. But nonetheless, Trump is saying that as far
as you know who you vote for for president, it's irrelevant,
and he is right about that.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
By the way.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
What I think is so fascinating about the rhetoric that
comes from this issue specifically, is how obvious it is
that the Democrats want to ignore that simple fact that
you know, they're not in charge, and neither is Trump
of what would happen state by state that the power
has been sent back to the States via the Supreme Court,

(28:09):
as you know and as I know, and so again,
the only place in which you wouldn't be thinking about
this being and Trump's not going to federally ban abortion
for a variety of reasons. Actually, I live in Illinois,
and one thing that I thought was interesting in the
last governor's election is that even though you had a
candidate that was very much against abortion, that candidate said

(28:30):
in the last the person lost by the way, Pritzker
won again, and Pritzker ran that's the governor of Illinois
on a message of protecting the right to abortion in
the country or excuse me, in the state. But one
the person who ran against him, his name is Darren Bailey.
He said that he couldn't ban it even if he
wanted to, because he didn't have the votes. I don't
know why those messages aren't more powerful with Americans, to

(28:53):
be honest, to be candidate, and I wish you could
answer that question for me and help me out with that.
I do think one of the more powerful moments, call
it powerful if you want to, because of how little
honesty politicians actually have. I wold speaking about anything, But
one of the more powerful moments is when a politician
looks in the camera and honestly says, I couldn't pass
this if I wanted to, because of the way our

(29:15):
system is built, I'm not going to be capable of
getting it done, even if it's something as crazy as
saying I'm going to put tariffs over here or over there.
There's a process in place that might prevent some of
these things from actually occurring. And so I do think
that's a stronger message than letting the other side run
on the claim that you're going to do something you
can't do even if you wanted to, because it makes

(29:37):
it irrelevant. And so I just don't get why that's
not more of a why that is not a more
powerful message. And I do also think it's interesting that
as the Times puts that in the headline, they go
on to crap all over how Trump is someone who's
not a candidate that has the same positions as Harris has,
even though by and large what he said publicly is
practically the same. The only thing he's not going to

(29:59):
do is try to store Row versus Wade, because well,
the Supreme Court is the one who's in power there,
and they'd said it was not the course of action today,
it's not the long of the land anymore. So Harris
couldn't even get what she wants to get done done,
and yet she promises so many different things. I just
find all this so important, And honestly, the last thing
I guess I'll say before I take a break is

(30:19):
the thing you always hear whenever Harris promises you anything.
Most people should react by saying, why don't you do
it now? Why don't you do it right now? Why
don't you call up Biden, get them off a beach
and get that done today? All right, quick break a
lot more. This is Craig Collins filling in on the

Speaker 6 (32:22):
There's a lot of things that I love about Hitler.

Speaker 11 (32:28):
No bipartisan, don't abandon, don't censor, engage.

Speaker 13 (32:33):
Yes, the Chad Benson Show where free speech and uncensored
thought run wild.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in Thrilled to be with you. Chad is back tomorrow.
Flying cars might still be a ways off, apparently according
to the Internet, but we're going to get something that's
almost as good, at least according to one story, flying
grocery carts that does not sound almost as good at all.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Apparently.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
There's a company making something called a Pallette trone, which
is a palette and a drone mixed together. It's basically
like a table that's floating next to you that you
put stuff on and then it could float it out
to your vehicle for you.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
It doesn't even have a basket.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
It's just a flat surface you put all the items
you're getting at the store. The only problem is it's
not smart enough to fly on its own. You'd have
to control it, you'd have to push it. There'd be
no reason to do this in all honesty, outside of
the fact that you could go over somebody at the
grocery store if they're being annoying and standing in a
part of the aisle that you can't get past them in,

(33:36):
which is always a very test of our patients thing
that happens in the world for a lot of us.
I'd love passive, aggressively elevating my flying drone over somebody
standing in that aisle.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I mean, like, see, buddy, see what I had to
do here.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
But that's it. That's the only value you get out
of this. There's no other reason to do it. It's
sort of like all the smart home improvements I've made
to my house and how my wife looks at me,
like a switch is not something hard to use. You
do not need to tell a smart device to turn
a light on and off.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
You could just flip the switch.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
But she's wrong because I can do it from the
next room. So I can go into a room that
has lights on, or leave a room and then turn
the lights off without getting back.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Out of bed. That's a value baby.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
So again, I just love the fact that this is
out there and somebody's working on this and making our
lives better by making our shopping carts fly along before
we ever get anything else to fly.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
I want the flying car. I want it, or actually,
you know what I really want.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I want the jetpack that that one guy had that
he was using in LA all the time.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
That was amazing.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
We definitely need more of that stuff out there in
the world as best we can get it.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
But all right, that's just a couple of the things
out there.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Another thing I saw that I thought was kind of
interesting has happened in Massachusetts. And look the reason I
liked it is, I remember the nineties Bulls intro. This
is a very sports specific reference. Maybe a lot of
people don't know it, but in the nineteen nineties when
Michael Jordan was playing with Chicago Bulls, they had this
intro of like bulls running amuck, actual literal animals through

(35:05):
downtown Chicago before bursting into the United Center and starting
the starting lineup for the Bulls. Apparently in Massachusetts the
first part happened. I don't know where MJ and the
rest of the ninety eight Bulls were, but I guess
a rodeo had a crazy thing happened.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Here's some of what that sounded like. Oh, I had
a legit radio in my backyard.

Speaker 17 (35:28):
As soon as I stepped out, when I looked over
the I was like, those on horses, those.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Up, That's awesome. I love I had a legit rodeo
in my backyard. This is Craig Collins filling in on
the Chad Benson Show and a little bit more of
that audio. Actually, what's go ahead?

Speaker 17 (35:42):
Literally, bulls and oh my god, didn't hit the pool,
didn't hit nothing else. Yeah, I'm glad that was trensed
off back there. And they all just stopped. So there's
a lot of kids around you. We don't want anybody
on earth.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, the bulls just stopped. When they ran into a fence.
They're like, oh, this is as far as we're going
to go. That did not happen. In the starting lineup
video from the ninety eight Bulls, they went right on
through and then Michael Jordan won another championship. So really
that's all I'm missing in this audio. In this video,
it's great quick break, a lot more. Greg Collins filling
in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 13 (36:51):

Speaker 3 (36:54):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Greg Collins,
filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
to talk about. I thought this was interesting. You had
a Harris surrogate on Fox News and she was asked
a fairly easy question. At least usually this is an
easy question when talking about the economy and how bad
things are. You look at someone who's representing a political

(37:16):
candidate and you say, okay.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
What's your plan? What are you going to do to
make this better?

Speaker 3 (37:20):
And the best part of this side of the aisle
not having a plan is they're the ones in power
right now. So when you ask them, like, what are
you going to do different? You actually should add that
last word because you're currently doing stuff that's obviously not working.
But nonetheless, the thing that's funny about this is that
you couldn't articulate a plan.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
You just keep saying out loud that.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
We get it. Things are bad. They're bad for you,
they're bad for us. Everybody's struggling. I struggled when I
was a child. Anyway, let's move on to the next question.
That's the way they handle this. Now here we go,
Oh wait, hold on, Actually I don't think you can
hear that. Let me go ahead and fix that for
you real quick, and then we'll go ahead and play
it for you. But I just love the simplicity of
the question and the struggle with the answer.

Speaker 13 (38:01):
It is Harris's plan.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
We're waiting.

Speaker 17 (38:05):
Okay.

Speaker 18 (38:06):
There's a lot of aspects to it in regards to
looking at online.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
So let's talk.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Oh, it's just real tough. If you look at it,
you can't read it easy. Let me help break it
down for it.

Speaker 18 (38:16):
Lower in the grocery costs, because that's something that's brought
brought up.

Speaker 13 (38:20):
The viewers can look at this online.

Speaker 18 (38:22):
She talks about certain things in regards to advancing the
first federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries,
to set clear rules the road, to make it clear
that big corporations can't unfairly exploit consumers as well.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
I can't do it, I'm sure. Is that happening? Is
that actually occurring.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Are these companies actually price gouging if you try to
put a protection mechanism in place, or the country or
the company is going to agree with you that. Oh man,
you know, we're being the bad guys here. It's not
that we can't afford things and we have to raise prices.
We're passing this cost down to the consumers. All those
things that you know, economics economists.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Would tell you was the problem here. Continue it's not
at this moment.

Speaker 18 (39:02):
No, this is her plan that's laid out for the
first hundred days when she becomes president of the area.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
I kind of love that she said, not at this
moment economists. By the way, I don't know why I
said that wrong.

Speaker 18 (39:11):
Conditioning is that currently happening in regards to I don't
know exactly if that's currently happening or not, because I'm
not privity to that touch of information, but that people
are costing a lot of money in regards to groceries.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
I love this version of Uh, you know, I don't
really know if that's going on. It's sort of you
know what it would be like. Actually, let's say that
I love this example.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
I always use this one.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
You're on a sinking ship, and you're looking at the
one person who might be able to fix whatever sinking
on the ship, and you ask them, Hey, are you
going to fix that thing that's causing us to sink?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
And like, well, here's what I'm really going to do.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
What I'm going to do is investigate this area and
do this and improve this thing that's happening over here.
And you're like, but is it actually causing us to sink?
And they said to you, I don't know, but that's
what I'm focused on right now. We might still drown,
we might all still go under, but the thing I'm
going to fix might not be causing a problem, and
I might not even really be fixing it.

Speaker 18 (40:08):
Okay, not it actually is time time articulating or planning.

Speaker 12 (40:12):
I'm not honest, that's not true.

Speaker 18 (40:16):
I'm constantly being interrupted by you, which as a woman,
I think is disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
When I'm trying to speak. Every time I try and speak.

Speaker 13 (40:25):
You speak over me.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
I love that version too.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Two women, a female host and a female guest, and
she's saying, as a woman, I really just think it's
disrespectful that every time I say stuff, you speak as well.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Even though that wasn't actually exactly happening.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's fantastic, But again, to go back to it, there
is no plan to actually make the economy better from
Democrats because the things that are causing us the biggest
problems are the things that they most want to talk
about in other ways. And actually, I want to play something.
This is from Trudeau's interview on Colbert that happened just
the other day. He's talking about how important it is

(41:00):
to keep fighting climate change and what I keep saying
about this issue specifically, not that it's one that a
whole lot of people I think are going to make
the number one issue when you choose which side to
vote on. Maybe younger people might do this, but I
don't know why even if you tried to agree, And
I don't want to have this discussion as to whether
or not climate change is real. That the government would

(41:22):
be the right people to hand a bunch of money
to and hope that things go well. And by the way,
anytime any government anywhere in the world sees an opportunity
to get more of our money, they're going to highlight it.
They're like, wait, you support that version of giving me money,
then let's talk more about that, and I promise everything's
going to go well. But when you talk about the
policies that are causing the economy to be so bad,

(41:43):
a good amount of them come from these other things
that democrats or whoever tell you they need your money for,
and continuing to spend our money recklessly is part of
the problem. We need to pull back on some of
this stuff. We need to figure out other solutions that
don't involve the government. That's something a lot of Americans think,
not just a lot of conservatives think.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
But here we go.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Our economic outlook is slightly more positive than the United
States right now on a macro level, but people don't
feel it when they're buying for groceries. So there's a
lot of frustration. And that's one of the reasons why
even though our economy is by sort of macrometrics, doing
very well, we're saying, Okay, even if it's doing well macro,

(42:25):
let's invest more in people. Let's move forward on ten
dollars a day childcare right across the country. Let's move
forward on dental care. Let's move forward on pharmacare, so
diabetes medication and prescription contraceptives will be free.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
These Let's spend more money, baby.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
The kinds of things that we're investing in so people
can actually get a relief and have more money to
pay for groceries or what have you. But people are frustrated,
and you know, the idea that maybe they want an
election now is something that my opponents are trying to
bank on, because you know, people are taking a lot

(43:01):
out on me for understandable reasons. I've been here and
I've been steering us through all these things, and people
are sometimes looking at change. But the reality is I
deeply believe in continuing to fight climate change and continuing
to invest in people.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
All Right, I had to play all that audio because
I have to respond to that. So Trudeau talking about Canada,
of course, is telling his voters on the Colbert Show,
if they're even watching there, that any of the problems
that you're facing, any of the challenges, any of the
bad financial decisions being made that are impacting your life,
outside of the offer to spend even more money to

(43:40):
try to improve those things, which won't happen.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
It'll make everything more expensive.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
The thing that I love so much is his brain
goes to climate change. He goes, well, I got to
keep fighting this I have to keep spending money, is
what his brain was actually telling him, and he needs
to find a way to articulate to you that you
support his decision to spend more money, and so at
least his side of the eyeile gravitates toward climate change
or this or that, whatever the problem is. You know

(44:04):
what that version of thinking is to me. Another example
I want to use. It's like if a junkie walked
up to you and gave you some version of a
story that tried to make it important for you to
give them money so they can keep doing bad things
with that money, and they're like, but no, you haven't
thought about it this way.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
If you give money to me and I go use that.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Money to buy drugs or whatever I'm addicted to and
keep harming my life, then somehow I promised it's going
to benefit you in the future. I guess you're selling
somebody karma or something at that point, because the government
isn't going to use the money correctly. We all know
that if you support a fight against climate change or
against what you name the issue, the worst way to

(44:44):
go about fighting that thing is just hand a blank
check of money out of the people in charge of
our government because they don't do the right thing. And
you know that, and I know that most people believe that.
It's a very simplistic take. In all honesty, it's you
know what I find fun about some of these discussions. Actually,
I have a friend of mine who I very much
disagree with on a whole lot of issues, and yet

(45:05):
we remain friends and occasionally get to talk about some
of this stuff in the news. We both do broadcasting
for a living, so he'll go on the radio somewhere
in the country at some point this week and say
stuff that's totally opposite.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
The things I believe.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
But I love chatting with him about some of this
because I think that when you over complicate some discussions,
you open up all kinds of possibilities as to people
claiming that what they're saying makes sense, or you know,
on the off chance that this very rare circumstance occurs
in society, we need to create a rule that prevents
this very rare circumstance. The exception becomes the reason to

(45:39):
create a rule, not the reason to say, well, the
rule is working outside of these few instances where we
might be able to create some exceptions it's just constantly
the way that you discuss things, And so I think
that's the reason that I like to think of the
bare bones version of a discussion on this stuff. And honestly,
if I were someone going throughout the country try to

(46:00):
campaign against the reckless spending of the left, I would
just be saying over and over again what Reagan and
others said. Do you want to give your money to
the government to fix a problem, whether or not you
think it exists. If you're someone who doesn't think it exists,
of course you don't. But even if you think it does,
do you think that's the right place to go ahead
and send your You know, I'm hoping they're going to

(46:20):
succeed thing.

Speaker 10 (46:21):
You know.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Actually, I often reference this whenever I get in this
rabbit hole of a discussion that I admit is not
something I think that any of you aren't also thinking yourselves.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
But I love that there was a poll I think.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
It was like a year ago, and Americans were asked
if there was a literal, you know, asteroid barreling toward
the United States, are barreling toward Earth and it was
going to blow us up, how much faith would you
have in the government successfully handling that issue. And I
think a caveat of the poll was that they said
the technology was available, like they could fix it, But

(46:54):
how much faith do you have that they're going to
actually get that done before you know, we blow up
and people buy and.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Large both sides of the aisle said, yeah, I don't
think so.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
I don't think if the government literally had a you know,
death situation coming toward us, that they're the right people
to fix it. You need to put Bruce Willis and
a bunch of people on some sort of rocket ship
and fire them toward it or whoever, and that's going
to fix things, not the government itself. Most of us
believe that most of us hold that to be true,

(47:24):
and so most of us essentially support a smaller government,
whether you're a Democrat or Republican. And I just don't
know why that's at the forefront of the conversation. You know,
It's like if you have a family member that you
think is recklessly spending money all the time, and you
stop supporting their decision to recklessly spend money all the time.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
I get that, I understand that.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
You just better be right about that if you think
that that's what's going on, because you know, to me,
in all honesty, the issue so often becomes who's the
right person to trust with this amount of money to
do the right thing, And it is almost never the
people in Washington because they don't care about us at all.

Speaker 19 (47:59):
All.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Right, on that note, quick break in just a little
bit after the break, after we pause and Chad gives
us a message on some things that are important. I
do have audio of a fifth grade teacher in a
lunch room that went viral. I thought this was pretty interesting,
So we're going to play that a bit of a
good news story there for you, and quite a bit
of other things going on in the world. There is

(48:21):
also someone who sold a video of something that involves
p Diddy out in the world, and that is creepy
to me. But that is also out there, so we'll
play some of that. We'll deal with some of that
in just a little bit here coming up too. But
this is Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Helen Keller is an terrorist that is a male. Is
that what you're telling me right now? Are you thinking
of Hitler?

Speaker 13 (50:06):
Vaccines work? But only The Chad Benson Show is one
hundred percent effective against stupidity?

Speaker 12 (50:12):
Do you know what D day is?

Speaker 4 (50:15):
D Day?

Speaker 1 (50:17):
God, Karen, you are so stupid to check us out
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and wherever you find your favorite
woke free podcasts.

Speaker 13 (50:28):

Speaker 3 (50:31):
filling in thrilled to be with you. Chad is back tomorrow.
A library had to force itself closed in Michigan, I
think only for like a day. And there's sort of
a weird component to this because someone who returned to
DVD case actually apparently left cockroaches in it along with
the DVD.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
I'm not really sure, but.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
They said there was a bug infestation. My favorite part
is the library didn't know what type of bug, even
though again it turned out to be a cockroach, which
I feel like the library should have been able to
research if they needed to. They should have been able
to grab a book and look up and match the
bug to the type. And also it's weird they didn't
recognize cockroaches. But nonetheless, the thing I thought first was
I didn't know people were still getting DVDs anywhere, even

(51:12):
the library, but Royal Oak's Public Library, which said that
maybe it didn't come from the person who was returning
the DVD, but maybe there was food on the DVD
and it attracted roaches nearby. But there was no infestation
in the libraries, so they reopened. Everything's fine, But again
the headline to me was the fact that somebody was
still renting DVDs from the library. I don't know what's
going on there. There's more than enough ways to watch

(51:34):
those things in the line, so you know that's out there.
At least they're doing well in that department. One other thing,
and I thought this was pretty funny. Two men went
on a crime spree in the UK, a bunch of burglaries.
And the thing that they, I guess thought was going
to protect them is they both have the exact same name,
even though they're not related. Both people Bernie McDonough one's

(51:55):
thirty five, one's fifty six, decided there's no way they
could catch both of us. If they go on the
lookout from one of us, they're never going to think
it's two.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Bernie's doing this sort of thing. But the cops cracked
the case. They figured it out.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
I guess the older Bernie's DNA was left at some
crime scene, so they tracked him down and then they
realized that the guy working with him was another Bernie
committing the crimes as well. But I do love that
that was their strategy, is they're not going to catch
us both baby Craig Collins filling in on the Chad
Benson Show and again just to me, I wonder if

(52:29):
they even like met on a Craigslist post or something
like that. It's like, Hey, I want to commit a crime.
I need a fool proof strategy. I need to meet
somebody else with the exact same name as me, because
then we're going to get through. Then it's going to
work out as easily as possible. They do look like
a father and son. By the way, the photos and
the mugshots went viral and so people said, there's really

(52:50):
no relation between these two, and nope, they just met.
They found out they had the same name, and they
found out they both really liked to commit crimes.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
So that's all that happens there, all right.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
One last before I take a break that I also
thought was kind of interesting. America is now down to
its last Kmart. Kmart announced that its last full size
store in the US, which may be closing next month.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Is a or.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Excuse me, the last full size store is closing next month,
so they'll have just a mini Kmart in Miami as
the only one left. I don't know if that Miami
mini Kmart thought they'd be the last guy standing, but
they are the first Kmart, by the way, open back
up in nineteen sixty two in Michigan. By the early nineties,
there were over twenty three hundred Kmart stores across the country,

(53:32):
and now you just got one mini Kmart in Miami.
I can't imagine what that kmart is like to shop at.
I don't want to know. I just want to guess.
I just want to assume that things are pretty ridiculous.
It should go twenty four hours, it should be open
all the time, and you should just see how things
occur there. But anyway, sad day for anyone that cares
about brick and mortar stuff, because more of its closing,

(53:53):
including now the Kmart's All Right Quick Break, a lot more.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Craig Collins filling in on The Chad Benson.

Speaker 12 (53:58):
Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
stuff to talk about out there in the world. It
seems as though a lot of Democrats are hoping that
the way that they win the election is by getting
a lot of female voters to vote for Kamala Harris
and painting Donald Trump is a horrible, terrible choice for

(55:03):
anyone and everyone that is female. Although in today's society,
I know that they also tell us that there's a
fluctuating a rule there for who's a guy and who's
a lady. But nonetheless Trump, it seems. In a speech
last night at a rally in Pennsylvania, I tried to
address some of those issues and talk about why he
is actually a great candidate for women to choose to

(55:24):
vote into power. I hears a little bit of what
he said the other night and.

Speaker 5 (55:28):
Make this statement to the great women of our country.

Speaker 9 (55:32):
Sadly women are poorer than they were four.

Speaker 5 (55:37):
Years ago, much poorer, are less healthy than they were
four years ago, are less safe on the streets than
they were four years ago, are paying much higher prices
for groceries and everything else than they were four years ago,
are more stressed and depressed and unhappy than they were

(55:58):
four years ago.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
And I got to stop right there.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
I thought it was really entertaining that as he goes
into the last part, the mental health part, not just
all the other things, you see a bunch of women
behind him start smiling at the camera like yeah I am.
And then you hear those women in the audience even
like cheering and yelling out loud like yeah we are.
We're stressed. What are you going to do about it, sir?

Speaker 5 (56:16):
And are less optimistic and confident in the future than
they were four years ago. I believe that I will
fix all of that and fast, and at long last,
this nation and National nightclare We'll end it will end.

Speaker 9 (56:33):
We've got to end this National Night place.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
So I got to stop that again. Essentially, the beginning
of that statement was, ladies, listen, here's what I'm going
to do. Here's what I'm going to do it for you,
And I know there were no actually specifics being given there. However,
the violence within our society, the discussion about crime is
relevant to everybody, but certainly relevant the way he paints
the picture about talking about women feeling less safe walking

(57:00):
home or any version of being out on the streets alone.
And I'm sure someone somewhere is going to yell how
sexist and horrible and terrible that is to say. But
it's also a fairly common discussion. And I actually I
remember this a lot in college. And if you're going
after the younger voter, and they say there's a potential
for Trump to do better with younger voters than Republicans

(57:22):
have ever done or in a long time have done,
especially male voters, but in this world even maybe talking
to female voters in how you're saying it, because that
is a talking point all the time. You actually see
on a bunch of like woke podcasts and stuff, how
male privilege is being able to walk outside without being
afraid and women don't have that same privilege. And so
Trump is actually highlighting and discussing that and saying how

(57:45):
his platform, his goals would try to create a safer
society which would benefit women. It's an interesting path to
try to go to try to enhance or entice certain
people to vote for him. Whether or not it actually works,
I'm sure is something that you're not gonna talk about
or hear about very often, because it's not a discussion

(58:05):
point that mainstream media wants to put out there. They
don't want to highlight the ways in which this or
that could be beneficial in some way, shape or form
to people that are told that voting for Trump is
essentially voting for someone that doesn't care about you. The
other thing I'll just say quickly about this, and I
do think it's interesting, is it's a platform point or
peace now for Harris and for Democrats. When you talk

(58:28):
about abortion specifically, you say you care about protecting the
lives of women because women's lives are at risk of
certain things happening during a pregnancy or during birth in
which you prioritize the life of the child and not
the life of the woman. And that's a way in
which Trump is gonna not care as much about female

(58:49):
lives is as Harris does. The insanity of that argument,
just quickly, just to say it the first, the minute, minute,
amount of people that actually wind up in a situation
like that in the first place, and the ridiculousness of
claiming that any sort of policy would trump the decision
making of a doctor in those scenarios, those few and

(59:09):
far between scenarios, and even Trump saying that he believes
in certain exceptions, certain ways in which yes, it would
be a decision that you could make to save your
life if it was necessary in this way or that way,
which is another thing just left out in any sort
of discussion about it. But to claim that that single
handedly is something that is causing one platform to put

(59:32):
more women's lives at risk than another, is I think
why you go these roads to say, hey, if the
streets are safer, however rare certain circumstances are, I will
prevent them from happening, so I'll protect more people. I
just hate how often we argue on the fringes like that,
on the things that barely happen or barely occur, as
if they're the things that we need to be making

(59:52):
policy decisions based on a little bit more of Trump.
The other night, he reportedly was giving a speech at
the same time that Harris was also giving a speech
I think the other evening, and so he said a
little bit about that as well.

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
Kamala Harris has reportedly given his speech in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 9 (01:00:10):
You know, her speeches are very sure.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
About her plan to quote build well, she hasn't anything
about building well. But she's been in office for three
and a half years.

Speaker 9 (01:00:23):
She's saying what she's.

Speaker 5 (01:00:24):
Going to do if she becomes president.

Speaker 9 (01:00:27):
But she's been there almost four years.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
She hasn't done anything except destroy our country with millions
of people that shouldn't be here and inflation.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Look, that is a winning message.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
You should stick on that message as much as you can,
especially as people I think willingly would admit that they
think that Biden is not even acting currently as our president.
He's not even really in charge because it seems like
his brain is as broken as we all thought it
was for a long time. So I think that those
simplistic messages, those simplistic ideas are we can set you apart,
what can help you win an election. I was actually

(01:01:02):
just talking to somebody about this a little earlier today,
and it's so odd that the issues are what they
are and that Trump isn't leading by a more significant
margin simply because of all the stuff that he has
branded himself as tied to over the last several years.
It's not just one or two of the issues that
he's talked about for a while that have come to

(01:01:23):
the forefront of our minds as challenges we're all facing.
It's literally pretty much everything that he ran on as
a platform that's become more relevant to people today than
anything else. One other piece of audio I do want
to play and I thought this was interesting. Harris was
on NPR. She was talking about skyrocketing housing costs, and
instead of telling us a way she's going to fix them,

(01:01:46):
she did her tried and true method of I get
what you're going through.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
I've dealt with it too.

Speaker 10 (01:01:51):
One other issue we're seeing across the country is concerned
over the lack of affordable housing.

Speaker 17 (01:01:56):
You ask Harris about that and asked her how to
address the issue in Wisconsin.

Speaker 20 (01:02:00):
Well, I asked her this because Wisconsin is seeing a
big jump in housing prices, and she said that she
can relate to renters because she grew up with a
mom who was a renter and she was a teenager
before her mother could afford to buy a home.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
I love that version of discussion of any of this
stuff is like I get it. I was also in
that situation, So don't worry. There's stuff I'm going to do.
I don't want to tell you what that stuff is
or how it's going to work, but there's stuff I'm
going to do that make sure that you don't deal
with the same pain that I dealt with that you're
dealing with right now.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
And anyway, can we move on to the next question.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
I mean, honestly, it's like if you I like to
keep doing comparisons. I don't know why I'm in a
comparison mood today. It's like if you went in for
a raise to your boss. You look through your boss
dead in the face and you said, hey, I need
more money. I can't afford to live right now. Things
are not going well. I don't really think it's my
fault that things aren't going well. It's just difficult. The
cost of everything is too high. I'm not making enough.

(01:02:55):
Can you give me more money? And the boss looked
at you and you said, you know, before I had
this job, before I was in the role, I was
like you. I struggled to make money and I struggled
to be able to afford stuff, And I get what
you're saying, I totally get it. You're not gonna get
a raise. I can't give you any more money. I
can't help you out with anything you just said, but
I understand you. So I'd like you to keep working
here for the amount of money you're making right now,

(01:03:16):
and please leave my office. You would not take that well,
that would not be a discussion that you'd be all
that thrilled about. I'm not saying the boss has to
give you a raise. I'm just saying that I love
that version of a No, I get it. We both
understand each other here. We're both working with the same
set of facts, and that's the only part that I
want to focus on.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
That's the only thing I want to care about.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
No one is asking our political leaders to get us emotionally,
and no one's asking for an emotional support president. I
don't need one of those. I don't think you need
one of those. I want a person who's actually going
to do things that better my life. That's the thing
I want. I don't need counseling from the role of
a president.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
One other thing I do want to play this is
Speaker Johnson talking about some of the things going on
as far as Senate's Democratic leadership is concerned, I thought
this was sort of an interesting statement.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
So let's go ahead and play this.

Speaker 21 (01:04:07):
Too, you miss a leader. Thanks to all of you
to be in here. This is the last one for
a while until the good bit. We're in the homestretch
and we're exactly six weeks out from the election. Now,
it'll be here before we know. It can't get here
soon enough from my perspective mine either. Voters in Virginia, Minnesota,
and South Dakota are already casting the first votes in
the nation. They began that Friday, and then the next

(01:04:30):
two weeks there'll be a number of states commenced early
voting around the country. And yet millions of Americans, as
our majority leader was just articulating here, they have no
idea where Kamala Harris stands on major issues, and they
have no way to ascertain that now because she refuses
to sit down for real interviews.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
Yeah, she want to talk about that stuff.

Speaker 21 (01:04:49):
Questions have been asked, and so people are just left
to wonder. I think that's a big reason that our
team is going to win in November. I'm very confident
about this. I believe we're going to keep in grow
the House majority, win the Senate, and win the White
House as well, and we're going to put Donald Trump
back in the office. When the Continued Resolution comes up
on the floor this week, we expect that to pass

(01:05:11):
by a wide margin.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Let me just be clear.

Speaker 21 (01:05:13):
Everybody heard me here last week say that I thought
the best play under the circumstance as well as a
CR with the Save Act. It's about a ninety percent
issue in the country, and no matter where.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
We are, they're not going to do the Save Act,
by the way, So there's part of this that is
destined to fail, even though the Save Act is a
good act and something that helps prevent people from voting
that shouldn't be voting. But the CR is something He
goes on to say that he loads as much as anyone,
but it's the situation they're in right now with Democratic
leadership and the Senate the way it is. So I
think that that is the stance that a lot of

(01:05:45):
Republicans are going to take, at least politician Republicans are
going to take how to try to make something make
sense to a lot of Americans who don't like it.
They don't like us punting and doing these short form
funding bills all the time as a way to keep
funding the government. Keep fighting about this every few months.
To be honest, I actually think most Americans don't even

(01:06:05):
care because it happens so often. It's the most boy
who cried wolf thing that exists in our government and
in our society. It's white noise. Whenever you say that, ah,
the government might shut down or we might barely avoid
the government shutting down. At this point, since we talk
about it so often, most of us are like, we'll see.
And even if it does shut down, is it going
to be all that bad for most of us? The

(01:06:26):
answers probably know. I would it be bad for people
who work for the government, Sure, I would it be
bad for everybody else in the short term. I think
that when they tell us how bad it would be,
they're exaggerating just a bit, just a well a lot.
And I think you know that too, which is why
I don't think we care as much about this issue either.
But again, to try to make it palatable or as
easy to swallow as possible for most of the side

(01:06:48):
of the aisle that doesn't want to see a short
form spending bill or any version of it, you go
ahead and go this road. And you also say that
you're going to get a support for the Save Act,
which again has failed to pass through even the House
controlled the Republican controlled, excuse me House, So we don't
know where. We're not really aware of any version of

(01:07:09):
this that seems like it's not going to be a
poison pill for Democrats, even if it's something that makes
sense to a lot of Americans and should make sense.
And I've talked to Chip Roy about it actually directly,
one of the sponsors of it, and how weird it
is that people are voting against it, that you actually
have to be a citizen to vote in an election.
It's very similar to when Democrats also voted against other

(01:07:29):
things like deporting people who are guilty of sex crimes,
and here illegally Democrats said no to that. It's still passed,
but it passed with no votes. And you wonder to yourself,
why are you saying no to things like this? These
should be easy things to pass. They shouldn't be things
that require much debate at all. All Right, on that note,
we'll take a quick break a lot more. Craig Collins

No, not the country, the institution. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig
Collins filling in. Let's say that you're sitting in a
room somewhere you're Kamala Harris and her election team, and
you're like, you know what we need to get us
over the hump. We need someone like a Gretchen Whitmer,
the governor of Michigan, to put out a video where
she uses gen z slang.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
That's what's going to do it. That's what's gonna make
us relevant to those young voters.

Speaker 3 (01:09:26):
This is real. I didn't make this. I feel like
it sounds like I made it. But here's Whitmer I'm
telling you, and I think she put this up on
her ex, on her Twitter thing just the other night,
but telling you to vote for Harris and using a
bunch of slang that she thinks is making herself, I
don't know, more desirable, more palatable her, and all the

(01:09:46):
Democratic Party, more of the party that understands you, young people.
This is about as horrible as it gets in that world.

Speaker 22 (01:09:52):
I'm here with volunteers and third cooking.

Speaker 13 (01:09:55):
With gas, the slap stella that House Party.

Speaker 22 (01:10:00):
Slaves today, the off oh God Ship.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Union chabs overseas not chilled. This is gas trumps cut
Texas for billionaires.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
I'm leaving the chat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
No, I'm slitzy. Are it's giving the next president? Oh
my god.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
She's pointing to a Harris Wall sign when she says
it's giving the next president. You know what I love
about this video? Actually, and I know it's radio so
you can't see it. Her eyes look deer in headlights
as she's staring at the camera and saying these things
that are evidently scripted and being held up in front
of her, because I think a part of her is
actually afraid. She doesn't know what she's saying and could

(01:10:40):
someone be tricking her into saying something bad. There's a
component to like, I don't know if this is good
or bad. I can play this again.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
This is horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
This is the same version of a video you see
sometimes where you have I don't know, someone like Elizabeth
Warren sipping a beer and saying I like to just
drink beer at home, when you can tell that she's
probably never had it in her life.

Speaker 9 (01:11:00):
But here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Let's play this one more time because it's hilarious.

Speaker 22 (01:11:03):
I'm here with volunteers and they're cooking with gas.

Speaker 15 (01:11:08):
The slap stella party.

Speaker 11 (01:11:10):
Slave.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
No, I can't keep doing it. It's terrible. It's horrible.
I can't understand it. I don't know why it exists
at all.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
It's so so bad, and Y actually thinks it's so
so good, and it makes us all very very sad.
All right, this is Craig Collins filling in on the
Chad Benson Show. We got a lot coming up. Just
a few other things though quickly out there that I
think are kind of interesting, are kind of hilarious. Beside
just Gretchen Whitmer and how terrible this whole thing is.

(01:11:36):
I do like this, I actually genuinely do like this.
NFL rookies were trying to identify things from the nineties.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had some fun with their youngest members.
They showed them VHS tapes, floppy discs, cassette tapes, and
these young sports professionals that make way more money than
I do have no idea what these things are.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
And it just made me feel old.

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
And it's.

Speaker 11 (01:12:00):
D v r.

Speaker 9 (01:12:03):
V putting the d cr VHD right, CD.

Speaker 12 (01:12:09):
This is like just a realist CD IBM, thats what
it is. I would have never gotten that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Yeah, I gotten this means to put in the music
didn't put to him and all you that.

Speaker 23 (01:12:22):
Ye, I'll know what this is the cassette, right, the
times has changed.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
One of those guys just called the music thing a
cassette tape, like you put the music in that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
It's the music thing, right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:33):
I don't know what it's called, but I know it
used to play music back in the day when technology
was basically underwater. Thanks for making me feel old, guys.
That's great, all right, quick break a lot more. Craig
Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 13 (01:13:27):

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
stuff to talk about. I thought this was interesting, ag well.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr said that he was dumbfounded,
absolutely dumbfounded, why the DOJ would release the letter to
the public that essentially called for someone else to try

(01:13:52):
to take the life of Donald Trump. This is because
the person who was arrested and I'm not saying that
name on purpose, had written a letter describing how he
was going to attempt to kill Trump at the golf course,
and then also saying that if he failed, which he
was predicting he would, that he wanted someone else to
attempt to do it. Bill Barr is no fan of
Donald Trump. He's been a constant critic of the former

(01:14:13):
president in all kinds of ways. So anyone who would
write off this reaction to this decision as politically one
sided hasn't been paying attention to Bill Barr at all,
and any of the stuff he said, not that I
think that any of his political bias would go so
far as to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Want to hurt anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
But when you say out loud that you don't get
why it happened, there's a tremendous value in discussing that
and thinking more about it. And I'm gonna be honest,
part of me contemplates the value in even diving into
it myself, because I don't want to encourage people to
try to do something or harm the president because the
former president, because they believe that there's a potential way

(01:14:53):
in which they would make money off of it or
something else. But the thing I keep saying to myself,
and the thing I can't get over, is how how
difficult it is for media to release some information to us,
information that they think would put someone in danger, information
like when the transshooter goes and hurts kids in a school. Again,
this is a reference I was giving you just the

(01:15:15):
other day, and that manifesto is hidden and buried forever,
and it's for the greater good. That's what media tells you,
regardless of how many things you think are a lie.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
Then the decision to not only have this be released
by the DJ but then covered by a bunch of
media demonstrates how much they are hypocrites, how ridiculous that
position of that stance is in the first place. But
I do think it's very powerful to say that it
serves no purpose because it doesn't, at least that portion
of it. And I don't think people were asking questions

(01:15:47):
about this as much as media was. To be honest,
part of me wonders if the reason that media sometimes
puts information out into the ether is to further serve
whatever their version of a narrative is that discusses it.
So if this information benefits them blaming Trump for the
people who want to kill him, then they will put

(01:16:08):
the information out and then talk about it with the
spin necessary to go that road, and that's horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
That's horrific.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
And if they think that they can't spin something, they
can't get a certain reaction from you, then they just
want to bury it and tell you they're protecting you,
they're protecting me, they're protecting everyone. But nonetheless, it's one
of the scarier things that we've seen time and again
happened in the society. All right, other things going on
out there, But Vike Ramaswami popped up on CNN. A
Vike spent a lot of places, even though he's no

(01:16:35):
longer running for that office. And who knows what Trump's
going to do with him, but certainly a person, you know,
running to help or excuse me, endorsing Trump and trying
to help him get elected. But I thought this was
an interesting back and forth on CNN that media loves
to fact check the former president but doesn't do a
really good job of fact checking other people. And it's

(01:16:55):
something that Vivek said in response to some of the
conversations happening in this interview.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
So here we go. Let's play a little bit of
this the.

Speaker 24 (01:17:02):
Kinds of issues I explore in my book, focusing on
the substance rather than in the mud slinging that we
sometimes see in the media driven fuel social media fueled
political discourse. When you speak about stone cold hard truths
and have that debate even when it's uncomfortable in the open,
that's how I think we're going to save the country.

Speaker 13 (01:17:19):
It's a big part of why.

Speaker 5 (01:17:20):
I wrote this book.

Speaker 24 (01:17:20):
And I also think that i'd like to see that
standard applied a little more even handedly across the board.
In that same debate, you had Kamala Harris making the claim,
also repeatedly many times since, that women are bleeding out
in parking lots, when there isn't a shred of evidence
of a single woman.

Speaker 22 (01:17:37):
There was actually a woman who died in Georgia who
because she there were two women, in fact, one in particular,
who couldn't receive the care that she needed.

Speaker 24 (01:17:48):
There's no evidence of a woman bleeding out in a
parking lot.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Have you seen.

Speaker 22 (01:17:53):
Evidence of eating pets? Like, if we're going to talk
about evidence, have you seen evidence of Haitian migrants eating pets?

Speaker 3 (01:17:59):
You know what I love about this back and forth
real quick here is Vivig tries to go into a
world where he says, hey, this imagery, this thing that's
being put out in the world is fake. It's not real,
it didn't occur, and you should be honest about that.
And this is not an argument he's having with Harris
or with her political team. This is an argument he's
now having with a person on television that claims that

(01:18:21):
they're not biased, even if you and I absolutely think
that CNN is biased. And the response is the same.
That's what Harris would say in response to what Vivek
is saying, is well, this is what's going on on
the other side, and that's a problem that completely jumps
away from the topic and the thing at hand, and
it refuses to have media acknowledge that they have a

(01:18:41):
hand in this. It's just arrogance. It's just a version
of how dare you question me? And then how dare
you say something that might actually be accurate and true
about us? And the way that we cover this thing.
So we're going to be defensive and we're going to
argue back. It almost reminds me of the way that
you'd like argue with a family member or loved one,
where you might have a point, you might be right

(01:19:03):
about something, and they just refuse to acknowledge it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Darn it, they refuse. But here's a little more.

Speaker 24 (01:19:07):
Having gone to Springfield, I didn't see that evidence. But
what I will tell is, I'm bringing that up because
you brought up the Asian migrant point. There are residents
in the community that had pointed to that there isn't
even that level of a shred of evidence to support
a single woman in the United States bleeding out in
a parking lot. That's been a repeated claim made.

Speaker 13 (01:19:23):
By Kamala Harris.

Speaker 24 (01:19:24):
So I think when we're getting into fact checking, I
think we should apply the same standards three hundred and
sixty degrees.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
I love, by the way, you can't see it, but
I love the version of the CNN anchor interviewing Vivek
just open mouthed and staring at the camera, like, what
are you saying right now?

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
What you did?

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
Just admit that you didn't see evidence of anything happening
in Springfield, Ohio, And a lot of people who went
there said they didn't see that evidence specifically. However, the
macro point I think that was trying to be made
was media was totally ignoring how bad things are getting
in Ohio as far as the amount of illegal immigrants.
The amount of people that are living there and taxing

(01:20:00):
that small town to a agree that it can't handle.
That issue wasn't being talked about at all, and now
it is at least somewhat being discussed, which you can
listen or you can fully throw out that that was
the intention all along by the Republican Party or JD.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
Vance and Trump. I don't even care.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
But the honest answer is the yeah, I know we're
talking about that more. But I love this, and I
love the mouth agape version of wait a minute, you're
saying the thing that I thought you'd deny, and now
after that you're saying the thing that I can't back
up or point to is not also being a lie.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
I don't like where this is going.

Speaker 24 (01:20:34):
And I think we should not use Kamala Harris's quote
there to sidestep a debate about abortion policy, just as
we shouldn't use some other quote as an excuse to
sidestep a debate about immigration policy. And a core thesis
of this book is let's not use the fringe words
that somebody on either side might say, and let's focus
on the actual content of the debate even when we disagree.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
Most This is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
Every part of this is fantastic, and every part of
that is something that a whole lot of people actually
say and believe. And honestly, the other reason that I
said Viveke has been all over recently is there was
this video that popped up with Charlie Kirk in which
it seemed that a young college student, a woman I
was trying to get him banned from YouTube because during

(01:21:16):
the discussion, which actually lasted like several minutes, she flashed
the camera.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
Don't go look for it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
If you find it anywhere, usually it's blurred anyway, because
the woman failed to do the thing that she wanted
to do. Charlie Kirk's I guess social media team is
aware of how people might try to harm him. But
Viveke was a part of that interview and the young
woman and I could actually play the beginning of it
if I want to, comes up and is just so
mad at the start of a discussion and says, how

(01:21:43):
dare you to Charlie Kirk for being on a college
campus and having a disagreement with college students, which is
something you see very often now from a lot of
these young people who go and debate these conservative influencer
other individuals on these campuses is that how dare you
even come talk to us? Which is sort of a
hilarious position, But the person who calmed her down was

(01:22:04):
a vike Vivik said, all right, let's let's have a
conversation of substance. Let's talk about the things you believe
in the things I believe, and let's not use these
fringe examples, but let's go into the more macro points
and see where our disagreement is. And you know why
I love that so much. Actually, I'll say this and
then I'll move on to something else. I love that
so much because it is the thing that we're missing

(01:22:27):
and the thing that we need, and especially the thing
that I think could reach younger voters, is how little
you might actually disagree with the intention of certain policies
on the side of the aisle that you say you
won't vote for. It's not necessarily just the fact that
your positions that you believe in are different than the

(01:22:47):
positions of the other side. But it's some of the
things that are vilified. Building the wall is a great example.
Building the wall is now a great idea. Apparently, according
to Kamala Harris, it's the best way to secure our border.
Trump said that years ago, and that was racist and
horrible and terrible, and how dare he put that out
there and put that out loud? And now it's something
that's fine. Now, it's something that's okay and barely even

(01:23:09):
talked about. Even though Trump in the debate, one of
the moments I thought that he actually won and is
not discussed is when he said he wanted to send
Harris a maga hat because she.

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
Seems to be on board with a lot of his positions.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
All right, One other thing I want to play this
is CNBC reporting on consumer confidence. It's now at its
weakest since the middle of July. Weaker than expected numbers
were put out there. So this is not good. This
is bad as far as our consumer confidence and the
overall position that a bunch of people here think the
economy is in. We're not in a great spot, and

(01:23:42):
we keep telling people that and they keep trying to
tell us, nah, you're wrong.

Speaker 19 (01:23:46):
Looking at some big misses here on consumer confidence, we're
expecting a headline number to be around one oh four
ninety eight point seven, ninety eight point seven. That is
the week is going back to February of twenty one,
February of twenty one, oh excuse me, I'm sorry, July
of twenty two, July of twenty two, when it was

(01:24:06):
ninety five point three. So these are definitely weaker than
expected numbers.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
Now, and it's not good, and it means that we
don't think things are good. It means that we think
things are in fact bad, and a whole lot of
us are afraid of what the future holds if nothing changes,
and we're not turning the page, if we're voting the
same people in to this administrative the same people in
positions of power who are currently in this administration. It's
just it's ridiculous. Honestly, I don't know how you could

(01:24:33):
possibly campaign in that platform. Any other Democrat running for
office other than Biden could say that they were trying
to do something new, something different. The only person who
can't say that they're going to have a radically different
form of agenda is the person who's a second in
command to Biden. And yet that person is the one
saying it out loud all the time. It's hilarious and

(01:24:55):
also well disappointing. I think, among other things, well, that's
real that's out there in the world. After a break,
I want to tell you a little bit more about
a pilot that made an emergency landing and the things
he had to fix. There's some audio that's gone viral
about this easy, surreal minute or our moment for you
to think about a pilot who's also a mechanic behind
the wheel of a plane that might be going down

(01:25:16):
and being like, ah, everything will be fine. Quick breaking
a lot more. Craig Gallin's spilling in on the Chad

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:27:34):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. Bunch of stuff
out there to talk about. First, let's do this. It's
gone viral everywhere. The audio is not so great. It's
just a woman talking about how much pain she was in.
But a woman who does CrossFit in South Carolina said
her arms basically exploded when she woke up the next day.
She had an issue that caused her muscles to start

(01:27:57):
to well die or sells die. Because of the damage
to her muscles. She eventually went to the hospital and
was immediately checked into the er. After waiting like a
couple of days, she's going to be okay. Her name
is Jessica. I hear she is doing the viral video
that of course any young person has to do when
anything happens to you at all, even if it's something
that makes you have to rush to the er.

Speaker 23 (01:28:18):
The next day, when I woke up, I was really
really sore and my arms were swollen. And I thought
that I was just super sore because I haven't done
upper body in a while. Yeah, it'll be fine, especially
having done pull ups in a while, like it's been
a couple of years. My issue was my arms. They
were so swollen. I couldn't straighten out my arms. It's
usually bad in my hands and fingers were starting to

(01:28:40):
go numb on saday and tingling. So that's why Saturday
morning I went to urgent care and they immediately just
sent me.

Speaker 4 (01:28:48):
To the er.

Speaker 3 (01:28:49):
See that's the problem with the CrossFit people. They have
to be so tough that her hands are starting to
go numb. And she's like, I don't need a doctor,
I'll be fine. Let me wait till the next morning.
But she's going to be okay again. This is Craig
filling in on the Chad Benson show, work out responsibly.
One last thing, and this is salacious in nature, So
I might not talk about this for very long at all,

(01:29:10):
but I just find it funny. There's a dating app
out there that's designed for let's say, riskue decisions for
adults to make two loving adults to make in the bedroom.
And apparently people are complaining that use this app because
the men are no longer interested in all the risque stuff.
They're no longer interested in the crazy things, the things

(01:29:31):
that people say out loud.

Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
And you're like, somebody, does that? Do people do these things?
The answer is no. But this is what I love
about this.

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
The viral complaint in some of the reviews for this
app online talk about how men are quote to Vanilla.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
That's as far as I think I'm going to go
to explain.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
This, and that they're hoping the ladies on the app
that more open minded individuals.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
I'll start using it. What kind of world are we
living in? There's two things I judge from this.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
First, that the ladies are disappointed in aspects of this,
and that guys aren't more interested in aspects of this.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
That's part one.

Speaker 3 (01:30:04):
That I'm disappointed in and two that this thing's viral
and that people are talking about it, and it's a
thing that didn't exist when I was a young person.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
This is not a thing that was out there in
the world.

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
But nonetheless just hilarious that that's the problem that the
app is facing, and now it's going to try to
find a way to make people happier by I guess,
making people live more dangerously. Again, nothing else I can
say that will not get me in trouble on the
old radio sor right, a quick break a lot more.
Craig Allin's filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 12 (01:30:52):
Such Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
This is Chad Benson, This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:31:20):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about out
there in the world. I do think it's interesting if
you go to some social media sites, specifically TikTok, actually
not just x or Twitter, and you see some of
the pro Trump stuff that's getting shared and put up
there by young people. There is one specific video that's

(01:31:40):
going viral. It is a mashup of a question being
asked at some sort of event for Kamala Harris in
which she's put on the spot to give us her
version of how she's going to fix the economy. And
then immediately after it is a video of Trump being
asked the same question at a town hall and giving
his answer. And people seem to think that this is

(01:32:01):
a very good demonstration of how many more answers exist
on this issue on one side of the aisle than
the other. But this is all over TikTok, and you know,
it's really funny before I even hit play on this.
When Trump first came out as someone who wasn't going
to ban TikTok, it was surprising to a lot of
conservatives because conservatives were very on board with the idea
of preventing China from stealing our data, our information, having

(01:32:26):
access to things they shouldn't have access to. And Democrats
probably didn't expect for Trump to say, you know, and
I'm going to leave TikTok alone because I don't know
if it means that that data is already available in
other ways, or just the ridiculousness of saying that any
one platform that gets banned actually makes things all that
much better for us as far as sharing our data anyway.

(01:32:46):
But this probably is the reason why that TikTok is
more capable of putting out information that's not quite as
biased as say Facebook or some of those other places are.
And Trump didn't want the monopoly of social media to
exist that justnsers him unfairly or censors his message unfairly.
And so because of that, this even is still a
thing that obviously we're we don't even really talk about

(01:33:08):
it that much anymore. The whole banning TikTok thing became
a poison pill for Democrats, so they've buy and large
stopped discussing it, even if they might still plan on
doing it. And Republicans, after Trump said what he did,
kind of let it go too. But here, I just
want to play this because it is a good demonstration
of the difference of opinion. And again, it's viral all
over social media that's used predominantly by young gen Z

(01:33:31):
or millennial voters, not something that a lot of the
other generations are on.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
Still, all right, here we go.

Speaker 13 (01:33:36):
Really would love to.

Speaker 20 (01:33:37):
Know what your plan is to help lower the cost
of living.

Speaker 25 (01:33:41):
Yeah, first of all, thank you both for being here
and yours is a story I hear around the country
as a travel.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
And by the way, I love the fact that you're like,
I'm in charge right now, or at least I'm working
for the guy who is. And I'm hearing this story everywhere.
People are complaining about the work we're doing. So I
get you because this is not a new message for.

Speaker 25 (01:34:03):
Me in terms of both rightly having the right to
have aspirations and dreams. Ah, and do you have pitions
for your family? I have they had and working hard
and finding that the American dream is for this generation
and so many recently, far more elusive rights been wet. Yeah,

(01:34:26):
and we need to deal with that.

Speaker 11 (01:34:28):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
We're forty seconds in and all you did was recap
my question. That's all you did is tell me that, yes,
I get it. What you said is a thing that
I'm hearing about that's happening, and people are sad that
I understand what you said.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
I don't have any way to fix it, but I
get what you're saying.

Speaker 20 (01:34:45):
How are you going to bring down the cost of
food and groceries?

Speaker 9 (01:34:50):
Good? Very good, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:34:54):
So we have to start always with energy always. I
don't want to be boring about it, But there's no
bigger subject. It covers everything. If you make donuts, if
you make cars, whatever you make. Energy is a big deal,
and we're going to get that. It's my ambition to
get your energy bill within twelve months down fifty percent.

Speaker 9 (01:35:14):
If I can do that, that sounds great. Yeah, five oho,
not fifteen fifteen.

Speaker 2 (01:35:19):
That sounds wonderful.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
Get the energy bill down for all of us, and
also for those who are transporting goods across the country
or making goods in certain places. Yes, energy costs are
absolutely directly tied to the cost of things. And when
Biden first took off, as he took a lot of
executive action to make energy more expensive, to go after
oil and gas, which he literally complain, excuse me, campaigned

(01:35:42):
on that message and complained about those organizations in doing that.
And that's something that Harris is also an agreement on,
and something that if I play some audio from Justin
Trudeau or anyone else, they keep telling you that, yeah,
we have to spend more money. Our government has to
keep taking your dollars and throwing them back out there
into the world because we have to fight client change.
It's what has to happen, right now, and it means

(01:36:03):
life is going to be harder for you. And Trump
is saying, I'm going to make sure that that energy
cost is way lower.

Speaker 5 (01:36:09):
Interest rates are going to follow, and actually they're going
to follow for another reason. The economy is now not
good and interest rates. You'll see they'll do the rate
cut and all the political stuff tomorrow.

Speaker 9 (01:36:19):
I think they have done that. Yes, we'll you do
a half a point.

Speaker 5 (01:36:22):
We'll we do a quarter of a point. But the
reason is because the economy is not good. Otherwise you
wouldn't be able to do it. But we're going to
get interest rates down, and we got.

Speaker 9 (01:36:30):
To work with our farmers.

Speaker 5 (01:36:31):
Our farmers are being decimated right now.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
They're being absolutely absolutely yes.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
That is also an important point to talk about how
farming and agricultural drives economies and how there's things you
need to do to help benefit them, and even the
threat that Trump throughout there. I think just the other
day that he's going to add a two hundred percent
tariff to John Deere if they start to manufacture their
products outside of the United States and New Mexico. Helps

(01:36:57):
farmers and helps those in that industry retain their jobs
and do a good so yes, throwing money at the
right places, the places that make certain things less costly,
is more valuable than continuing to throw money at something
that the government might not even fix at all. And
even if you don't think it's real, or you do
think it's real, it's just hilarious to me that that's

(01:37:18):
the argument, Like, Wow, we have to keep going, we
have to keep spending money. And the other thing I
do love, and I'm going to play one other piece
of audio in just a second, but I do love
it is the Inflation Reduction Act. And I don't mean
to dive into this too deeply. Is something that even
Biden said was misnamed because it did nothing to reduce inflation,
and it did a whole lot to spend money on, say,

(01:37:39):
things that are trying to prevent climate change, are things
that are trying to go this road in that road
that actually make things more expensive to us because of
how we're just choosing to spend our dollars. And they
called that the Inflation Reduction Act. That's like a slap
in the face, you know. That's like if someone took
money out of your paycheck and call to to raise

(01:38:00):
like you're getting a sweet, sweet raise, and we're going
to take some more money away from you. I mean like,
I don't feel like this is a raise, guys. I
feel like this is the opposite of how a raise
works or how it's supposed to work. I want to
play some audio of a person that spoke at a
Trump rally recently.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
This guy is a trucker.

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
He's from a small town in Pennsylvania that's been in
the news because, well, like a lot of other towns, Springfield,
Ohio one of the ones that gets mentioned the most,
He's seen a whole lot of people come into his
community that aren't from his community, and it's causing some
issues for him and for others.

Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
Here he is talking about it. My name's Ernie.

Speaker 7 (01:38:33):
I'm here as a representative for resident of a small
town of Shawleroy, PA, which you may have heard on
the news here recently.

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
Hey, Ernie over half.

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
I almost feel like this is the beginning of some
sort of meeting where everybody goes I'm Ernie, High, Ernie,
Nice to meet you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
What's going on for your town is.

Speaker 7 (01:38:48):
Now filled with Haitian immigrants and illegal immigrants brought into
taking our jobs away, that that there is a nation
killing practice which is brought in by the federal government
and specifically the Biden Harris administration. And I'm here with

(01:39:09):
a dire warning to every American. This isn't going to
stop unless we can take our country back.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
I'll be honest again, I like this version of this
discussion more than Trump or anyone else saying themselves in
a debate or any other place that this is happening
in Springfield, Ohio or anywhere you know, and this is
what we need to do.

Speaker 2 (01:39:31):
To fix it. I like hearing the voices of people
who live in the places.

Speaker 23 (01:39:34):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
Granted, you can say this is a Trump rally. That guy,
I'm not even sure if I can trust him. I
don't know if his thing he's saying is real. But
it's just it's a different version of the same thing.
The discussion going on in Springfield, Ohio, and all the
different caveats to it, or the aspect of challenging whether
or not cats and dogs are being eaten there completely

(01:39:55):
steps away from the issue that there are people that
are struggling because they been inundated with individuals who have
no ability or at least legal ability to work there
that the government needs to help and they're not a
big enough city, not that any city is big enough
for the amount of numbers we've seen to actually sustain
and deal with that. In Chicago, you have thirty million

(01:40:17):
dollars that's going to be spent on just one month
of housing for illegal immigrants in the area. This was
such a contentious point at a recent meeting that the mayor,
Brandon Johnson, who's a black man, was being screamed at
by black voters in the area, and actually police escorted

(01:40:38):
people out of this council meeting because of how ridiculous
it was. Fifty one million, not thirty fifty one million dollars.
I have if you thought everything I just said was
a lie. I have ABC seven in Chicago their news
talking about this and how eventually people were so upset
that they had to be brought out by police. It's
not often that you have city council or town hall

(01:41:00):
meetings and with people being dragged out by police because
they're so upset at the policies of the current people
in charge. But that's happening in Chicago, and that's happening
with residents on the South Side who are overwhelmingly of
a certain minority. And who I guess are people that
typically Democrats expect would vote for them. But I can't

(01:41:21):
see a whole lot of these individuals voting for democratic
policies in this city after feeling the unfair versions of
treatment that they feel are going on there. And here's
a little bit of again of that ABC coverage of it,
so you know that I'm just not making stuff up.

Speaker 14 (01:41:35):
Well, thirty four aldermen voted for the fifty one million.
It did not come out without a lot of controversy,
especially from some black residents who say the money should
go towards Chicago residents who had been neglected for years.

Speaker 15 (01:41:51):
Very much committed to a revenue stream or revenue streams
that ensure that we are dealing with the christ of
those who are on housed in the city of Chicago,
while also making sure that there's a room for those
that we are welcoming.

Speaker 6 (01:42:07):
We need to allocate some of this money for our
old children.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
Yeah, by the black community.

Speaker 14 (01:42:14):
Fifty one million dollars for migrants brought some loud and
vocal opposition from the public, to the point where police
had escort people out of the City Council meeting several times.
Mayor Brandon Johnson asked for a two minute breather.

Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
Well, I need a break. I need to break everybody.
We got to take a second.

Speaker 3 (01:42:30):
What's amazing is, no matter what you think of how
government should or shouldn't subsidize the lives of people Americans
or illegal immigrants, what's crazy about it is if you
were struggling, If you are struggling, and a lot of
Americans are in a lot of places throughout the country,
and then you watch them spend money that shouldn't exist
on people that shouldn't be here, and you wonder yourself,

(01:42:52):
Wait a minute, what about my version of that. It's
the same as everything else. It's the same as when
you talk about say, student loan debt forgiveness, and any
young person with a student loan is like great policy,
and everyone else is like horrible policy that's going to
make everything more expensive.

Speaker 2 (01:43:06):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:07):
And now, for whatever reason, much to their own shooting
themselves in the foot or whatever you want to call it,
Democrats are now trying to convince minority voters that I
still care about you when I'm going to spend tons
of money on people who are here illegally instead of
giving money to you, something you've begged for for a
long time and we've promised you. Even if other people

(01:43:28):
say it's fiscally not responsible, I just think it's amazing
that this is one of the many issues facing the
country right now, and kind of incredible that we still
have a version of well, who knows who's going to
win the election. There couldn't be more things benefiting Republicans
right now as far as issues themselves go. All right,
quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on

Speaker 4 (01:45:07):
What you've just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.

Speaker 25 (01:45:12):
And then they passed us a baton, and the question
is what.

Speaker 13 (01:45:15):
Will we do with the time we carry the baton?

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
You smoking?

Speaker 13 (01:45:30):
I call myself a joyful warrior. The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):

Speaker 3 (01:45:39):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you for just a little bit longer here. First,
I just found this funny. The state with the worst drivers,
according to a survey where people asked, hey, are you
terrible at driving?

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
Is why?

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
Apparently it is also a state that has a lot
of issues on the roadways, but people are honest about it.
Five thousand drivers were surveyed, one hundred from each state,
and Hawaii was the most honest and being like, yeah, no,
we're not good at this, mostly because it's Hawaii and
we want to do other stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:46:05):
We don't want to drive around all day. I don't
know why.

Speaker 3 (01:46:08):
Second and third, we're more surprising. Oregon and New Mexico
are also places that apparently have terrible drivers with terrible
behavior or just everywhere. Honestly, with the ubiquity of cell
phones and more and more places being willing to allow
for people to smoke pot legally, I think the roadways
are getting more and more dangerous. I do think that's

(01:46:29):
a byproduct of those policies, and it's not good for us.
But I thought that it was interesting that Hawaii was like, yeah, no,
we're not.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
Good at this, and at least we take it.

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
Another thing out there I saw that I thought was
pretty fascinating. A guy in Japan is making one hundred
thousand dollars a year being other people's friend and charging
the money for it. And it's not dirty. It's actually
a very oddly tame. This dude's name is Soji Morimoto.
He said that everybody's lonely in the world. There are

(01:46:58):
a lot of people struggle with some that he calls
the alone virus a public health crisis. So he'll come
over and be your do nothing friend, which means he
doesn't even really hang out with you. He sort of
just is on his phone in a place that you're
in and doesn't really talk.

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
He's socially awkward, he says. But people are paying him,
at least in.

Speaker 3 (01:47:17):
Japan, to hang out around them, even if he doesn't
really pay attention to them, and they don't really pay
attention to him.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
It's the oddest thing I've ever read.

Speaker 3 (01:47:25):
But it's one hundred bucks for two to three hours
of his time, depending on how much time he wants
to spend around you while not paying attention to you.
And he's doing great. His company or his one off
enterprise is flourishing, and he's suggesting other people go into this.
He doesn't even keep connections with you unless you pay
him more money. So he's a four higher friend that's

(01:47:48):
actually a terrible friend. I don't know why this would
be successful, and yet it is, and I feel bad.
One last thing I saw this too. I find this hilarious.
In Australia, they're now telling parents that they're not allowed
to drink at end of year events at schools, even
high schools. They said the parents aren't allowed to do it.
Parents are very mad because they think they're being treated

(01:48:09):
like children. But apparently things got out of hand. Parents
would be getting drunk at say, a graduation party of
some kind for the kids at a Catholic school, and
that was causing more good than bad. See, this is
the thing. You got to be a professional drinker or
the thing gets taken away from you. And all these rookies,
all these novices out there, all these young parents are

(01:48:30):
the ones screwing it up for everybody else. But apparently
alcohol has been banned even for parents in these places.
And I just find that hilarious. And I bet you
they're going to smuggle stuff in. I bet you they're
going to do the same water bottle trick that some
kids might do in some places. I'm not advocating for it.
I'm just saying it's going to happen. Greg Collins filling
in on The Chad Benson Show. And I do think

(01:48:52):
they're right also in saying that they're being treated like children,
being treated like babies.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
For saying this, but like.

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
What really happened, that's the part that's missing in story.
What parent fought, what other parent? Why did that occur
with somebody's kid not getting enough playing time? And some
of the you know teams that they were on, and
was the coach there? I want to know more about
this situation. But alcohol being forbidden at school parties is
just sort of hilarious to me. All Right, that's it.

(01:49:18):
That's the show. Craig Collins filling in. Chad is back
tomorrow on The Chad Benson Show.
