Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in Chann'll be back
in a couple of days. Vladimir Zelenski is here in
the United States. He's having conversations with people. I guess
that he will have several conversations before he leaves the
UN and whatnot. Also, of course he'll have conversations with
Biden and then Kamala Harris, because I think Biden's probably

(00:39):
still on a beach somewhere, and then eventually Donald Trump
as well. He'll be asking us what it takes to
win the war according to Ukraine and what that concludes.
I don't know if anybody's paying attention to this. I
assume a whole lot of people still are. But that
includes US allowing Ukraine to strike inside Russia Morsonnificantly, that's

(01:01):
a problem that's been a problem for a long time
for the United States because Russia would say, or at
least has said that they believe that means that the
conflict is now between US and them, and that's not
something the United States wants. We don't want a fight
to include Russia in our country for any reason whatsoever.
I know that it's very obvious to say out loud.

(01:21):
I'm just saying it out loud because I'm hoping that
some of the leaders on the left say that to
Zelensky when he talks to them, when he has those
conversations with them.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I think one of the only ways to end that conflict.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I'm going to move on from this topic very quickly today,
but i want to put it out there because I
feel like it's rather important, but one of the only
ways to end this conflict in my mind, And I'm
not trying to promote Russia be pro Russia at all.
I want Ukraine to win, but I think it would
be if Ukraine winds up giving contested areas to Russia.
That's something Ukraine has adamantly said they will never do,

(01:55):
and that's something the United States shouldn't really be as
forceful about.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
And I'll tell you why.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
For anyone that thinks that this is an odd topic
of discussion today, the reason why is the United States
was not aiding Ukraine in its fight against Russia for
years and years and years. In several of these contested areas,
there's long been fighting going on there. Ukraine has not
had unilateral control of some of these areas at its borders,

(02:24):
and so surrendering them to Russia is something the United
States would not have helped them do. If that's all
the fighting, if that's where it was contained. But when
Russia goes further into Ukraine tries to create a fight
that's beyond say, those contested areas, that's when the US,
that's when other allies get involved defend Ukraine prevent Russia
from taking the entirety of the country. But if it

(02:47):
was just to seed certain areas to Russia, I think
that's something that a whole lot of other countries wouldn't
be as passionate about.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I understand you Ukrn's position.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
They feel as though they've been attacked, and they well
they have, and they feel as though the only right
course of action is a unilateral win against Russia.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
I feel like that was the conversation very early on
and has just gone away since.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
All right, let's move on to other things.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Vice President Harris is out there asking for another debate.
Apparently she wants to debate a former vice president. We're
not sure which one. I guess take your pick.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Maybe it's Pence. She's done that before, but here we go.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I know that that's really crappy audio because she's standing
outside a plane as she's saying that. But she said
she'd like to do another debate, and she hopes the
former vice president would agree to that. I don't know,
maybe they would, maybe not. Of course she means Trump.
She's been hanging out with Biden too long, so the
slips are there. But here's what I'd say about the
debate conversation. I do think it's interesting. It doesn't help Trump.

(03:53):
Just like they said he didn't have to debate anybody
when there were people running against him in Republican primaries.
Debating Harris doesn't benefit a guy that everyone knows. At
this point, people know Trump quite well. I think the
reason you did one debate is the off chance that
you would have destroyed Harris as strongly as he destroyed

(04:15):
Biden and end another political career, and that didn't happen,
probably because Trump wasn't just debating Harris. He was also
debating the moderators, which was difficult. And there were things
that Harris said that were lies and she wasn't fact
checking on them. But nonetheless, I will say that now,
and especially with Trump using the excuse that it's just
too late in the season to be debating, which I

(04:37):
don't think is necessarily true, but not a bad use
as an excuse.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
The thing that just doesn't.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Make any sense to me is why you know Trump
would do it? Like, truthfully, if you were asked this question,
and if the American voter knew you well enough, there's
no new positions, there's no new things he's going to
share or say was amazing. I'll just say this that
during the debate, they didn't ask Donald Trump or Harris

(05:06):
about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Just think about
that for a second, if you will. Because all the
other stuff that gets talked about out there, all the
other discussions about what was and wasn't a fair question
or a topic where say, people demonstrated that they were
tipping their hand or helping out one side of the
political aisle. As far as the moderators go, all of

(05:28):
those things are secondary to the idea that we have
a living candidate for the office of president who someone
tried to kill and luckily he survived because he turned
his head. That's the only reason he's alive, is is
he happened to look up at something behind him? And
then there was a second assassination that didn't even get
a shot off, thank god, but nonetheless someone else trying

(05:51):
to hurt him. I know that happened after the debate,
the second one, but nonetheless, how do you not ask
any questions about that? How's that not a relevant topic
of discussion and a continued discussion by the United States
of America that they're trying to kill this guy and
why and who? Especially when in the second scenario, you
have someone that hid outside a golf course that no

(06:12):
one knew Trump was going to be at, So how
do you know he's going to be there?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Why do you sleep the night before there?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
There's questions that it doesn't even seem like media is
all that interested in answering right now, And you again
ask yourself, why why would you have no interest in
answering these questions if we know for sure you would
actually try to do that if it was on the
other side of the political aisle. It's just that obvious
or that important to demonstrate the unfairness that would exist

(06:41):
if this thing happened.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Again.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
As far as debate, goes because of that one glaring mistake.
And that's just one of several, but honestly, it's one
of the bigger ones I can think of when I
talk about anything that involves Trump, and I don't know,
maybe I'm the only person still, you know, banging this
Trump or whatever it is you want to call it.
Just don't get that I'm being as honest as again

(07:03):
to kick off this show, he was almost kill I know.
I laugh a lot when I talk about serious stuff too.
It's because I can't believe it as I'm saying it.
I should explain that at some point in my life,
I can't believe the words I'm saying out loud as
I'm saying them. But it's true that there was assassination
attempts against a former president in our country, the leading
candidate to be the next president according to a lot

(07:24):
of polling, and certainly, of course, obviously the nominee on
the Republican Party at this point, and we barely talk
about it. It barely gets discussed. The second attempt gets
talked about more now than the first one, and that
makes no sense to me, none whatsoever. All Right, there
are other things out there to discuss other things that matter,

(07:45):
probably just as much as this stuff does. I know,
there's a lot of pulling that people are still pointing
to and saying like, oh, it looks like over here
Trump is doing well in swing states especially. I can
give you some of those numbers. Arizona, Trump is up
by five points, fifty to forty five. In North Carolina,
Trump's winning by two. Georgia, He's winning by four. These

(08:06):
are the latest polls to the New York Times, and
so those seem to bode well for Donald Trump as
far as his opportunity to be the next president of
the country, even if media doesn't tell you that, even
if media consistently is telling you the narrative that, you
know what, the guy who's actually or excuse me, the
person who's actually likely to win is Harris. And then
the only thing they actually reference is any version of

(08:31):
a popular poll, which is, you know, not how we vote.
We voted via electoral college. All right, I want to
play one other thing. I thought this was interesting. This
is our president, President Biden, and people are saying that
he glitched out yesterday, which is always an interesting thing.
I think this actually happened on Saturday. You know what's

(08:52):
funny about this too, is I'm putting the President of
the United States still fumbling around and tripping over himself
at the back end of a section of things that
I'm talking about, because that's how relevant the president is
right now. He's a lame duck that no one even
really thinks about anymore. And he's still in office, he's
still doing this job.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
So here we go for being here.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Now, okay, hold on one second, I'm going to make
sure that I actually make this audio something that you
can hear, and then we'll go ahead and move forward
with it if we can get it a little bit louder,
hopefully because it is actually quite quiet, and then we'll
go ahead and see here. I know, all right, it's
not gonna work, But anyway, he's glitching out. He's saying

(09:37):
dumb things as always he does. He's announcing people that
don't actually seem to be near him, and also just
making references that make no sense. And that's the current
president of the United States. This feels like another topic
that we should be discussing more than we actually are
discussing it, which also makes no sense to me because

(09:57):
he's still in charge and no one seems to really
care about that whole thing, like it's fine, whatever, It'll
be okay, will be good. By the way, there is
one other piece of audio that I found out there
that I think is interesting. Springfield City Manager. This is
way back in March, acknowledged reports of domesticated animals.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Being eaten by Haitian illegals.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
This is something that's made the rounds all over the
internet after it was discovered. This is March twelfth of
twenty twenty four. He's not saying I think that this
is happening. He's saying that there are people who are
complaining that they believe this is going on. I don't
want to dive too deep in the hole eating the
cats and dogs thing, but I do think it's interesting

(10:41):
that if you have a conversation about that topic specifically,
and if you look into some of the data that
was out there, that repeating that idea, whether it's JD.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Vance or Trump or.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Anyone, isn't as insane as they're making it sound. Not
saying that you know definitively that's happening. That sounds like
that's more value able to debate. But just the idea
that people are complaining about this. I think the way
Vance had brought it into the public mind was by
saying that he was hearing from constituents who were claiming
that this was happening. And then Trump, of course says,

(11:13):
they're eating the cats and dogs. But I do think
it's interesting that when you find audio, and maybe I'll
play it after a quick break and we fix some
little technical hiccups.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
But this happened back.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
In March, someone was saying this someone important Springfield City
manager to people at a commission meeting. So it's not
as insane as people want you to believe it is
for whatever reason to have this conversation, not again saying
it's actually a current. All right, quick break a lot more.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh yeah, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. We were talking about Sean Diddy Combs a
lot more than we were talking about Sean Diddy Combs
say a couple months ago after getting arrested and all
these different, you know things, these alleged crimes that are
coming out from federal prosecutors after they unsealed their indictment.

(14:24):
It looks real bad abused, coerced women and others around him,
all kinds of crazy things. As far as these freak
out parties go or whatever they're called. The thing that's
more interesting right now as you wait for justice and
all that stuff to happen in the p Diddy Combs
case is all the other celebrities behavior. I guess Usher

(14:48):
deleted all of his tweets, although actually I think he
said he got hacked and somebody else deleted all of
his tweets. But Usher's entire Twitter just basically vanished. His
accounts still exist, there's no more content really on it,
which is odd. And that's just one of several people.
Apparently Kim Kardashian is freaking out, according to some reports.
I can't confirm that that's true or not. I have

(15:10):
no idea, but there might be some reason for that.
A lot of celebrities or elites might wind up in
some version of trouble or some version of connection that
might matter here, and I just wonder how significant that'll
all be and how much of a discussion that becomes, say,
beyond p Diddy combs. But this guy is definitely in

(15:31):
the news a lot right now and certainly being talked about,
and his friendships are being talked about, which I find incredibly,
incredibly interesting.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Just one of many topics out there.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
This is Greg.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
This is Greig Collins, filling in on the Chad Benson Show,
and a lot of other stuff to talk about today,
including if you still are confused between your left and
your right.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
A lot of adults seem to not know les between right.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
I've seen adult people put their hand in the air
and make the L with the left side of your
fingers and then go, okay, yeah, I can right that way,
so that must be the left side, because that's the trick.
I don't know if anyone knows this. You hold both
l's up as far as your thumb and your index
finger go, and you look at your hands and you're like,
which way is correct? Which one's making a real L

(16:22):
and which one's making a backwards one. And then that's
the left, that's the side that's to your left. But
I love that a lot of adults are admitting they
don't know this, because things seem hopeless in the world
we live in today. If you don't even know you're
left from your right, and you're not alone in that.
That's just one of several things I guess people are
still admitting they're getting wrong.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
One other thing that I do love. There's a list
out there.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
I think this is BuzzFeed of the eleven reasons why
apple picking is awful, why it's not actually a fun hobby,
why you shouldn't go to it. And I enjoy these rules,
or at least these ideas, things like you're actually doing work.
Other people get paid to get produce and stuff for you,
you don't have to do it yourself. There's rotting food

(17:05):
all over the ground usually at these apple pick orchards.
That means bugs, that means all kinds of other things.
The bah humbug here is amazing. I'm not saying that
I actually am gonna not go apple picking. This isn't
a fight I want to have. I just love that
it's a fight that's out there at all. All right,
quick break, A lot more coming up. Craig Collin's filling.

Speaker 8 (17:22):
In on the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Independent Thought, that's Independent Life.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
This is Chad Benson, this is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be
with you. Bunch of stuff out there to talk about.
I thought this was interesting. CNN seemed to be very happy.
They did a topic about how Donald Trump said in
an interview that if he doesn't win this time around,
that he's not going to run again for election, that
he'll be done it two tries.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
They seem very happy about that.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
And for an odd reason, I'm going to play part
of the audio and then I'll actually respond to this
whole concept. But I kind of think this is amazing
that Trump says something that obviously the left probably really
loves that Trump wouldn't continue to run if he's not
elected president this time around, and yet they want to
they want to bash him for it in a weird way.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Here we go.

Speaker 9 (18:48):
Trump is pre losing. He's losing in his own mind.
That's why he's desperately selling silver coins when he should
be campaigning. That's why Mike Johnson is ignoring Donald Trump's demands.
And threats and keeping the government open. The speaker is
keeping the government open when Trump wants the government shot.
That's why his wife is hawking this book. And that's
why he seems so depressed. Every time you see him,

(19:10):
he is tasting defeat. He knows what's happening.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Huh what.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I don't know if any part of Trump, you know,
appearing places I would describe as depression. But one of
the things that might be in Trump's brain is that
people are trying to kill him. That might be a
negative that's impacting him in anything else. But here I
can even play a little bit of Trump in a
debate or excuse me, in a rally. Recently, this doesn't
seem like a terribly depressed guy to me.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
Space force and now we're leading in space over Russia
and China. They were killing us when I took over,
and now we're leading.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
But military, we're going to reach.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
And it's my plan.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
I'll talk to get those rocket ships going. We want
to reach Mars before the end of my term.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
I do love that that He's like, come on, Eline,
get those rocket ships going. That's pretty awesome, and he
wants to reach Mars. I'm for that. That sounds pretty
good too, but no, in all honesty. Again, so Trump
says the thing that I think even some conservatives would
want to hear. If you don't win this time around,
it's probably the end of you trying to be the president.
We need a new blood. I'm not saying that I

(20:13):
actually believe Trump will lose. I think that a lot
of the data suggests that he'll win, especially since he's
doing well in a lot of those swing states that
matter so very very much the election. But nonetheless, as
I say this, what I'm so amused by is that
any moment where Trump says or does something that you
would think is actually more aligned with the type of

(20:34):
behavior they ask for from him, the presidential type of behavior.
I surrender to whatever it is that's going on that
makes me think that I'm not going to win, or
I'm not going to run, or whatever those things are.
They bash that stuff too. He called for unity after
he was almost killed the first time, and people bashed

(20:54):
that as being disingenuous or whatever they said it was.
Democrats do that all the time and then do not
have policies that are actually reaching across the aisle, and
no one complains about this, but I found that particularly
interesting over the week and Trump says, all right, if
I don't win, this is going to be my last hurrah,
my last attempt to get this office. And instead of

(21:15):
saying that that was a good thing to say on
that side of the aisle, they have to bash him
and claim that it means that he thinks he's losing,
which again I don't think is the case. And actually,
you know what, I'll play one other CNN clip that
I thought was interesting that I saw it for the weekend.
This is a discussion by two of their talking heads
about Harris and her lack of policies, her lack of clarity.

(21:37):
I think some people in social media even said, how
dare anyone be asking for this much from Harris at
this point, which is insane because they seem to think
that it doesn't matter what those policies are. They'd rather
vote for that person than Trump. But here, I'll just
play a little bit of this and then I'll react
to the silliness of this too. Take it from the voters.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
You need, she needs more interviews, But can I ask you,
can I say to you, like, then, where is Trump
having those real hard hitting interviews?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Where he says, I'm going to master explain that.

Speaker 10 (22:06):
Every new once of every.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
Answer a lot of questions.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
I love that last part too, by the way, But
he doesn't answer questions. Kamala Harris, I don't think has
answered a single question since she's uh started doing this,
since she's done her three or four total interviews, I
don't think once anytime, Especially my favorite one is anything
about the economy. She goes to this long answer about
how she grew up and understands what you're going through

(22:32):
and what I'm going through or what anybody's struggling with,
and then moves on as if it's an answered question
and you have no policies that are actually going to
help make this situation better. In fact, of course, if
she continues the policies of the administration she's a part of,
things will continue to get worse. But I love that
back and forth debate because it's sort of something I
was saying earlier in the show is Trump doesn't need

(22:55):
to tell anyone who he is anymore, doesn't even need
to tell people how he would do the job. You
know what it was like when he was in that office,
and it's one of the most powerful things to consider
voting for him again, regardless of behavior or mean tweets
or any of that stuff you didn't like. If you
were someone that wanted your day to day to be
better financially, and you compare these two administrations, you'd easily

(23:18):
believe Trump was the better choice. But instead of talking
about that, either talking about whether or not Harris needs
to be more explicit in her policies, which it's insane.
I'll just say that one more time because I really
love that. That's a point we're at right now in
these discussions. There are people on the left defending Harris
not needing to give more information about what she'd actually

(23:39):
do if she were.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
In the office of president. Who cares.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
It's fine, we don't need that information. By the way,
I want to play one other thing too.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
This is AOC.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
The reason I really like this audio, I know I'm
jumping around a little bit, but I can't help it.
The reason I like this audio is there's this accusation
that if Trump were put in office, and this is
things that Democrats say, things that probably wind up making
some people want to take the life of former President Trump,
but they say he's going to end democracy.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
He's a you know, threat to all kinds of things.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
And one of the other bigger fear mongering claims is
that he'd imprison a bunch of journalists, that he'd throw
them in jail, that he's going to do all these
horrible things or take away their right to broadcast whatever
it might be. And they say that that's a single
sided thought that Trump has that the Democrats, of course,
wouldn't do. And then you hear this audio from AOC

(24:31):
talking about how you need to prevent misinformation and disinformation.
It's really scary when the government is the set of
people who are telling us what that is and what
that isn't because they get this wrong a lot on.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Purpose, or lie or all that other stuff.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
But here, I'll play this because this to me sounds
not that I'm actually going to accuse AOC of trying to,
you know, end democracy herself, but this sounds eerily similar
to those accusations they're throwing at Trump. So maybe a
whole bunch of politicians are arrogant enough to believe that
they have a right to censor our freedom of speech,
and a whole lot of Americans think, you know, go

(25:06):
shove it.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Essentially, to that idea. But here's AOSI.

Speaker 11 (25:09):
You know, I do think that several members of Congress
and some of my discussions have brought up media literacy
because that is a part of what happened here, and
we're going to have to figure out how we rain

(25:30):
in our media environment so that you can't just what
view disinformation and misinformation. It's one thing to have different opinions,
but it's another thing entirely to just say things that
are false.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
They say things that are false all the time. They
do it all the time.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, one of my.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Favorite this isn't truly a favorite. I didn't like this,
but it's my favorite. And how easily it was disproven,
and the fact that she wasn't fact checked Kamala Harris
for during the debate, but when she said that we
have no military that in any sort of active situations,
any sort of you know, deployment situations that are dangerous
to them, and you had military putting up videos where

(26:13):
they're like, where am I right now? In reaction to that,
being like, I am in a dangerous situation. I am
in an active you know, combat zone, and I don't
know what the heck you're saying, And the Vice President
either not knowing that or just blatantly lying about that
is bad. And for them to say this, For AOC
and others to say, well, we got to make sure
that we rain in and control the disinformation and the misinformation,

(26:34):
not ours but everybody else is it should be terrifying.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
To a certain degree. It won't happen.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
I don't believe that that would ever happen in this country.
And the reason I believe that it would never happen
is I don't think the American people would would tolerate it.
I think that that is the kind of thing that
the American people would stand up and reject in whatever
way in which they had.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
To do that.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
But it is a conversation that exists. There's so many
of these acts. Actually, you know, there's one other example
I'm debating if I want to throw out there, and
there's some audio of Harris over the weekend talking about
the dangers that are present with the discussion about abortion
and certain controls on that and the lives of mothers.

(27:18):
And this is a trick that happens all the time
in politics. You find something that very rarely occurs, and
you talk about it as if it's the only reason
to have a policy a negative or positive to any issue.
I don't want to be too specific about the abortion
discussion in this moment right before I take a break,
but I want to say that the amount of women

(27:40):
who lose their lives giving birth in the world in
which we live in twenty twenty four is tremendously, tremendously small.
And the reason I'm even bringing this up is there's
another conversation that exists that Trump was fact checked on
during the debate, and this is essentially the birth of
a baby who is not say created and winds up dying.

(28:03):
And this is something that also very rarely happens, but
does occur, and in some states they've actually admitted in
the past multiple versions of this. Essentially, it's a botched abortion.
It's an abortion that doesn't prevent the child from being born. However,
the child is not necessarily in a place where they're
going to survive on their own, and doctors don't do

(28:23):
things to save the child.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
That is a real thing that occurs.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
You can yell at your radio right now, the horrible
guy in the radio just lied to us and told
us a thing that's not true or you can just
look it up on your own and see it. And
so if you're the Republicans, if you're Trump or that
side of the aisle making an argument that Democrats want
to allow abortion up until birth, you have a statistically say,

(28:48):
not tremendously valuable example, but a thing that actually occurs
very similar to the discussion that Democrats are having with
protecting the mother's life.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
And so here's what I actually want to do.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
This is my actual response to this topic, as controversial
as any of this discussion might be. I want to
beg politicians to stop talking about issues with something that's
in the point whatever percent of people who actually do this.
If it's less than one percent of occurrences or less
than maybe two percent of occurrences in our country, I'm

(29:22):
not sure that it deserves the amount of attention and
the discussion that we give it or that they give
it all the time, compared to the reality of everything
else going on. And I think what this actually means,
and the best way to say this is, these are
the moments when the politicians discuss things that are relevant
to almost none of us, that so few Americans actually
have a version of. Okay, that's something that could or

(29:44):
did happen to me, or something that I understand why
you're talking about it. It's the kind of thing that
makes a lot of people not really pay attention to politics,
or pay attention in a way that's disingenuous to your
own everyday life. It doesn't benefit you, it doesn't harm you,
it doesn't impact you at all. And so if you
have a big passion about it, it's only because the

(30:05):
politicians have told you to have it, not because it's
actually something that's relevant to you when you wake up
and when you go to sleep. And I just find
that so interesting. They talk about these things, they discuss
these things, and they find these very specific, very rare
examples to back their side of the discussion, and then
they yell at the other side for doing the exact
same thing. All right, Well, take a break. A lot

(30:26):
coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (32:18):

Speaker 3 (32:20):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be
with you. Chad is back in a couple of days.
Apparently Nutter Butter is making the news, or at least
some version of it, whatever you want to call it.
The American sandwich cookie is how they describe themselves.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Delicious. I like the Nutter Butters.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
I think a lot of other people do out there,
but apparently their TikTok account is just nuts. First, i'll
play you that wasn't even an intentional pun. First, i'll
play you the social media influencer person who made this
all go viral. And then I'll actually play you a
real video from Nutter Butter. You can't see the images,
just assume that they're crazy. But I'll play some of

(32:58):
the audio in just a second. But first, here is
the person asking if the people behind the account are doing.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Okay, if you guys have.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Not seen Nutter Butter's official account, I'm concerned.

Speaker 12 (33:09):
Nutter Butter, are you guys?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Okay, okay, hold on, Oh no, no, no no, don't play
all that stuff yet. That that was some of the
video here. I'll play one of these now again. You
can't see it, but just picture the most insane images
you can that also involve Nutter Butter cookies. And then
you're hearing stuff like this.

Speaker 12 (33:31):
What.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
I'm already gonna stop it because it's weird. I feel
almost awkward as I'm playing this thing. I'll say this
about this, and this is probably a weird topic to
talk about for more than a few seconds, but I
can't help it. If you were put in charge of
a social media account for something as odd to promote as, say,
a cookie like a Nutter Butter, part of you might
be tempted just put insane stuff out on the Internet

(33:58):
and see if that goes pretty well. Because it's the
Internet and so apparently this is working, they're getting attention.
People might even go into stores and be like, oh,
I'm familiar with this product because of the insane videos
I've seen on the old social media and maybe buying it.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I don't know, but part of me thinks that.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
This is sort of a genius move, that they have
the most fever dream or acid trip or whatever version.
I guess they're describing this as a social media account
that you can find out there, and it's the real
official one. It's the one the company makes themselves that
they put some kid in charge of that. Probably someone
should drug test at least once in a while, I imagine,

(34:34):
But that is a real that's out there and that's
in the world.

Speaker 9 (34:36):
All right.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Let's play one other thing. I thought this was interesting.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
A guy in North Carolina was released from jail, stole
a utility truck two hours after getting out of jail
and went on a bit of a joy ride before
getting pulled over. And there was a worker in the
truck's bucket with the boom arm still extended. So there
was a guy up, you know, suspended as this dude's
driving around in a truck that gets pulled over the
Spectrum employee. He hurt his leg but otherwise escaped alive,

(35:03):
which is incredible. But this is audio of some people
in the neighborhood talking about how crazy it was. To
look out their window and see a car drive by
with a dude in the top of the bucket that's
connected to the vehicle.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
I've been at eighty feet and you're that far up there.
Just to win can shift and make you move back
two or three feet. You had to be terrified, terrify.
I feel for that person's family. You know, he was
just doing what he was supposed to.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Do, right, just doing your job, and someone steals your
truck and starts driving you around, joy riding you, and
you're begging for dear life and you wind up Okay,
for the most that's insane and also obviously horrible. All right,
quick break, A lot more coming up, Craig filling on
the Chad Benson Show, and a lot of other things
to discuss out there. Apparently yet another pet made it

(35:47):
eight hundred miles back to their house, so homeward bound.
Still happening in the real world. I have that story
and much more coming up in just a little bit.
This is Craig Collins filling in on the Chad Benson Show.

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

(36:50):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
This is the Chad Benson show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in, Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to talk about. One of the bigger
news stories out today, the Justice Department released a chilling
letter written by the would be Trump assassin who was arrested.
What's interesting first about this, before I go into any
of the details of the letter, is how quickly this

(37:14):
has actually come out compared to say some other things
that sometimes media refuses to release and give us information on.
If it's a manifesto written by someone that tries to
commit a horrible crime. Sometimes this stuff gets buried, and
I think media usually says when they try not to
release this stuff, they're protecting you, they're protecting me, They're

(37:36):
protecting everybody from this information radicalizing more people. That's never
an argument that I accept. It's an argument that a
lot of us reject. But if ever they were thinking
about doing that, it would seem that a letter written
by someone who wanted to kill the former president. Again,
I'm not saying this shouldn't be out there. I'm glad
it's out there, but that's usually their excuse when they
hide stuff. But the letter calls for other people to

(37:58):
attempt to take Donald Trump's life. So I thought it
was interesting that that information got released as quickly as
it did, and no one seems to be worried about that,
even though they often worry about it again in different circumstances.
But it even offers like money to someone if they
were to do it. I don't think that the would
be assassin actually would be capable of giving anybody this

(38:19):
kind of money to begin with. And that's one of
several reasons this is horrible. Unless it's out there within
the letter this person. I'm not naming the person on purpose.
I don't like doing that with anyone that tries to
do this kind of stuff because they want fame, and
so I refuse to provide it out of them at all.
But it also says that the person failed because they

(38:41):
voted for Trump at one point and then obviously decided
that Trump was someone who deserved to die. It's surreal
to read through the entire thing and all the information
about it. I will say that as just as a reminder,
Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida is actually going to look
into how this person got on that guy. Of course,
why they thought Trump would be there. Essentially try to

(39:03):
demonstrate if any of this was inside sort of behavior,
because it matters, and because we care about it and
we should care about it, and it doesn't sound like
we're actually going to get that information from anybody else.
So I am glad there's an investigation going on in
Florida specifically, But again just to reiterate that this letter
has already come out, it's already been published, and it's

(39:24):
pretty horrific in what it calls on the American people
to do, and also just demonstrates the psychosis of an
individual who tried to take the life of a former president.
I want to play a couple other things, though, because
I thought this was really interesting in connection to this
is weird to say, but Bill Maher's show. First, I
want to play this part. This is Mar discussing the

(39:46):
second attempt on Trump's life. This went viral on the
Internet because his audience is laughing at the setup to
whatever a joke might have been, and Mar doesn't get it.
He doesn't get why people in his left leaning or
phone left audience. Even though he's not exactly as left
these days as he used to be, he's still definitely
a support of the democratic.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Side of the aisle.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
But I just thought this was really important to play
and for people to hear.

Speaker 10 (40:12):
So let's not bury the lead. The big story this
week they tried to shoot Trump again. Let's not not funny. Okay,
I'm being serious now, that's the second time this happened.
I said this before. There could be no fuzz on this.
This is not funny, okay. Is that okay?

Speaker 5 (40:32):
It is?

Speaker 10 (40:32):
I'm okay to wish it happened. Well, this is a problem.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
I love the simplicity of that right there, because he's
just gonna go on, He's going to do his show.
But when he says this is a problem, no crap.
Of course, this is a problem. Of course, this is
the kind of thing that our society shouldn't have. No
matter which side of the aisle you're on, or which
side of the discussion you're on on any of these issues,
it isn't funny that people are trying to kill Trump.
It is ridiculous that you have to go there and

(41:02):
have that discussion as mar but then to go back
to it again. So this letter comes out and people
can read through the belief system of someone who wanted
to take the life of a former president, and I
just think that that matters in a different way, because
again I don't mean to reference any once, this happens
way more often than any one time. But specifically, when

(41:25):
you had the transgender shooter attack children in a school,
that manifesto was buried, and the reason it was buried,
according to the media outlets that did it, was because
it was too dangerous to put it out there, because
it might radicalize more people, it might cause harm. And
yet this letter that's out right now calling for someone

(41:45):
else to try to kill Trump if this guy fails,
which of course he did, is surreal in the sense
that if you mean what you say, then you should
follow that same thing all the time. Again, I'm not
saying the right decision is the censor of this kind
of stuff. It's not actually my belief. But if you're
going to tell me that this is the reason that
you hide certain information from the public, then when you

(42:08):
fail to continue to follow your own set of rules,
when it's the side of the aisle that you don't like,
or you know, the side of the aisle that you're
trying to harm. As much media obviously is anti Trump
and anti a lot of Republicans I just find that
more important. And actually there was another moment in that
mar show that I thought was interesting too. He took
a couple shots at Kamala Harris, and the audience kind

(42:30):
of laughed, but the laughter wasn't as big as when
he's saying out loud, just the definitive fact that an
assassination attempt happened again on a former president. This is
pretty interesting to me that some people find it less
amusing that something that Mars says, as you know, a
joke and a shot at Kamala. That's true, but this

(42:50):
is something that they're less entertained by than a discussion
about an attempted killing of someone.

Speaker 10 (42:55):
Here we go, Harris would be the first woman president,
first black woman president, and first Asian president. But I
don't vote for who will be the first good. I
vote for who will win. Okay, And for whatever reason,
Harris has never been popular.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
It might be her disingenuous nature in general. I'm gonna
stop it there because he's pretending he doesn't really get
this part. But every time that you hear Harris talk,
and the reason she's not doing a whole lot of
interviews is she comes off as fake. I think that's
the biggest thing that people don't like about her. And
the reason she comes off as fake is because I
think she is being fake. I think she is trying

(43:33):
to find whatever her version is of not answering a
question and not hurting herself politically, and oftentimes that's gibberish.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
But here we go.

Speaker 10 (43:41):
You can count the number of delegacy one in the
twenty twenty primaries on one hand, as long as that
hand has no fingers.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
There's a little bit of laughter and some applause that happens,
but not the crazy amount of laughter that's happening after
he's saying Trump almost was killed several times. That's interesting
to me. And again, to use Mar's own words, this
is bad. But it's true that Harris won absolutely no
votes in a primary, and when she did run in
twenty twenty, it didn't go very well for her, as
you probably hear a whole lot, and that should matter,

(44:11):
that should be important. And she isn't popular, and I
doubt she'll be popular as a president. Amar does go
on to say, to be fair, because I'll tell you
the rest of his content, that he thinks she's intelligent
and qualified and all these other things that make her
a good candidate to be president. So he shows his
left leaning side of the discussion there, but nonetheless says

(44:32):
that she's just not very popular. And I'll go one
step further actually on this, and then I'll move on
from it. I think that there are so many politicians
at every level of government. You probably know one locally
wherever you're listening to the show right now that just
come off fake like you're around them, or you might

(44:52):
see them on television or whatever it might be. Actually know,
I'll give you a better example. One of the things
I've been doing in my life recently is working with
veteran organizations. It's been really fulfilling for me. I'm not
trying to brag about it or pat myself in the
back right now, but something that I find hilarious when
I talk to veterans is how much they are annoyed
by politicians that show up to get a political win

(45:16):
for any sort of veteran event. They love a politician
who will, you know, get their hands dirty, help with something,
and not need any sort of political win in doing it,
but they hate when the politicians walk around and wave
and smile and say all the right things to the
camera and then leave and seem as though they don't
care about that group of heroes who defend our country.

(45:38):
And I love having that conversation with Vets because it's
so honest and it's so real, and it's so accurate
to be like, screw those guys. I can't tell you
the amount of times that I've said out loud to
somebody something about, oh, this politician was at this event,
and their answer is, screw that person. Who cares about
that person. They don't matter in this way or whatever way.

(45:58):
And I just I find that to be refreshingly honest.
And so when you have that happening so much in
your life and around you, so many fake, inauthentic people
that just annoy you. I think that what Harris actually
causes in a lot of the mindsets of many Americans
is that same level of resentment or anger or whatever

(46:19):
you want to call it. How fake so many of
these people are. And she's just a really easy demonstration
of that, and a very high profile demonstration of that
when she's running for offices, I like the President in
twenty twenty or even of course now without any primary votes,
and she's so bad at being just authentic. Say what
you will about former presidents and successful people in our society,

(46:42):
whether it is Trump and how he behaves to a
lot of people like a real person, even if he's
a real person that you would or wouldn't want to
be friends with, depending on who you are. Even Obama
at times did a better job of sounding in certain
moments like someone who is just behaving more normal and
less you know, fake. I'm not saying that to praise

(47:02):
Obama very much, but it's just not a skill set
that Harris has. She doesn't seem to be able to
downshift into the version of you know, I'm just like
everybody else in a believable way. And I think that's
something that a lot of people dislike about her, even
on her own side of the aisle. And so again,
just quickly before I move on from this, when you

(47:22):
say that it's confusing if you're Bill maher as to
why a lot of people don't like her, why she's
not popular, that's why. And actually one of my favorite
examples of that too. I know this audio gets played
all the time, but when she's the border Zar and
when she's talking about everything at the border and people
are pushing Harris to go to the border, and she
doesn't want to go there. There's something about the the

(47:44):
sort of like how dare you a version of discussion
that happened in that interview that was so amusing, because
you know, there's something about some I guess as simplistic
as as, hey, if you're in charge of this thing,
you should probably go visit it, and her thinking it's
not a political win for me to be there, so

(48:06):
I'm definitely not going to go visit the border, and
being like irate that anyone would ask her to go
there in the first place. And you've probably heard this
audio before. It's probably something you've seen several times, so
I'm actually I'm probably just gonna skip it. But in
all honesty again like being like, I don't need to
go there because I've never been to Europe, but I
have thoughts on policies for Europe. It's so arrogant, beyond

(48:28):
being so inauthentic, that I think that those are the
reasons that people wind up really really disliking her, not
just kind of disliking her, but significantly disliking the person
and what she embodies and what she winds up being
but yes, that to me is one of many reasons
why this becomes such an issue. All right, Craig filling
in on the Chad Benson Show. He's hard working though.

Speaker 7 (50:00):
Doug me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm trapped
in a hashtag factory and I can't get out. The
Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
filling in a thrilled to be.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
With you Sometimes.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
I love when you read how a study was conducted
more than the study itself. So people published a thing
in the Personality and Individual Differences magazine, which I'm sure
everybody has a swimsuit edition of. But anyway, it says
that men are willing to partake in risky behavior for women.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
That is not surprising. That's a study that we didn't
need to do.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
If a female voice tells a dude to do something dangerous,
we are way more likely to be like, all right,
that's cool than if a male voice asks a woman
to do something dangerous. Again, that part not terribly interesting.
But here's what the study did that I thought was
really unique. They did two different versions of this, and
first they tested the difference between a high pitched but
bubble voice and a lower they called it sultry voice.

(51:03):
Men are more likely to do risky things if a
high pitched bubbly voice asked them to do it. But
in the first scenario, essentially they put on virtual reality headsets.
They were driving in a vehicle. This was not really happening,
but they pretended it was via the virtual reality, and
then the voice would come in and ask them to
run a yellow light, and if it was a high
pitched bubbly voice, the men did it way more often.

(51:26):
The second study was even more interesting, same thing, two
different pitches of voice, but dudes were asked to walk
a plank that seemed really dangerous, and it wasn't just
their willingness to walk across it, it was also how
fast they tried to go from one side to the
other that seemed to be heavily influenced by the tone
of the female voice and its desire for him to

(51:48):
do it. And this is my favorite caveat in this study. Apparently,
after they had the voice give instructions, they then informed
the guys before they put on the headset that some
of these women didn't like a risky dude, and some
of them did so. The only way in which a
high pitched bubbly voice didn't cause a man to put
his life at more risk. Was if they were told

(52:11):
in advance that the woman didn't like guys who risk
their lives. Then and only then were they safer in
those moments in virtual reality if they were told she
liked it, like caution to the wind man, I'm falling
off this plank if it means that I get to
meet this lady. I love every part of this study,
how weird it is, how setting it up, and then
you know, conducting it probably would go for the scientists involved.

(52:32):
And then eventually they figured something out that we already
knew that men can make themb decisions if we think
that it'll impress a lady. This is something that none
of us had to study at all in any variety.
One other thing I found that I thought was interesting
another study out there. Two thousand parents I were asked
questions about getting their kids ready for school, and they
say that mornings before school are chaotic. They're the craziest

(52:54):
part of the day, and apparently they have a huge
impact on how well the day goes for both parents
and their children. If things seem like they barely stick
together and fall apart up until the last minute before
you get the kids out the door. You're not likely
to have a good day. Your kids aren't likely to
have a good day. So figuring that out and making
that better is actually something that benefits everybody. And then

(53:14):
also preventing being angry, which when you're hungry and angry
at the same time. Both parents and kids deal with
this throughout the day, apparently according to them.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
All right, quick break a lot more Craig Collin's filling
in on The Chad Benson Show. And then just one
other thing that I thought was interesting about this study
about how bad the day goes.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
If you have a chaotic morning.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Just feeling off is something that people say can be
a really big issue. Running late to school, lack of sleep,
whatever it is that makes you feel off, not eating
enough high quality food during the day, all these are
things that impact how bad your day's going to be
if the kids didn't get out of the house sometime.
So good luck to any parents out there who struggle
with this. No solutions offered, just problems. Quick Break a

(53:58):
lot more in a bit.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
The Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (54:41):

Speaker 3 (54:42):
with you, a bunch of stuff to talk about. I
will continue talking about this essentially manifesto or whatever you
want to call it from the person who tried to
kill Donald Trump form President Trump, and how he's offering
money to someone else to attempt to do it. And
my biggest takeaway is how quickly this came out and

(55:04):
how often media will tell you the reason they don't
put stuff like this out is they're trying to protect society.
They're trying to protect us from someone else, you know,
doing some sort of copycat harm. But when it's Trump,
when there's a literal call to action within a letter
by the horrible, crazy person who tried to hurt him,
that stuff comes out way quicker that I find very

(55:25):
interesting for whatever reason. Of course, Also one of the
biggest conversations going on is about the spending fight. Speaker
Mike Johnson has essentially punted on that until just before Christmas,
not after Christmas. I might be a gift this holiday
season for America in some way, shape or form, But
there is a fight that goes on between politicians all

(55:45):
the time about these budgets and all the time about
spending bills and what's actually in it and what of
it has any relevance to the American people. And here
I'll I'll do the spoiler alert, or the very simplistic
version of it.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
They're going to spend money on stuff it won't help us.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
They're going to do this no matter what they vote on,
no matter what they fight on, no matter how it goes.
At the end of the day, they're not going to
make a decision that benefits us as much as it should.
And we should be mad about that. That's a very
simple takeaway there. All right, there's something else that I
can't get over that I wanted to talk about. I
found a couple of articles over the weekend discussing this,
ones in the New York Times, but they're talking about

(56:23):
how this is one of the first elections in a
long time in the United States that the religious identity
of both of the candidates isn't at the forefront of discussion.
Harris almost never talks about religious identity or beliefs. I
think she's referenced God a little bit, but she doesn't

(56:43):
really talk about what her religion is or if she
has one or any of that stuff. And Trump, of
course talks a little bit more about his religion, certainly
quotes the Bible or at least attempts to and does
things like it, but it's not actually at the forefront
of discussion for Trump all that often. And that is true,
and we very seldom, if ever, have seen that for

(57:04):
quite some time. Of course, people like Ronald Reagan very
famous for incorporating religion into their political identity. And so
that comes on the heels of another thing I saw
out there that I found interesting. For the first time
in our history, more young men identify as religious than
young women. We've never seen this, I guess since we've

(57:27):
been studying this. I'm not sure how long America has
been paying attention to this sort of thing. I'm talking
about women eighteen to twenty five and men in that
age group, and it doesn't matter what religion you say
you are. About fifty percent of women in that age
group say that they're not religious at all, they have
no affiliation. And that is a shockingly high number that

(57:47):
we've never seen. And again, men have still trended up
as well over the years, but are much lower as
far as percentage of men. I think it's like thirty
five percent that say they have no religious identity whatsoever.
Churches are saying that they seem more were young men
showing up than young women. And I just find this important.
And I'm not going to.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Overly preach to you or talk about religion. I am
a Catholic.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
I certainly have admitted that many I don't know why
I wouldn't many times on the radio before.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
But I wonder where this goes.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
And one of the biggest places that I guess I
can put this discussion is abortion. I wonder if there's
some reticence to have a religious identity because of how
closely tied that political discussion is with the religious components
to it. And I don't know for sure, but I
wonder if that's one of the bigger reasons that it's
the first time we've really seen this. And you know what,

(58:39):
I was reminded of something when I saw this data.
I had a conversation with a family member. The family
member is in that age group and a woman, and
she said to me that she thought religion was bad.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
It is a very overarching message.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
There wasn't a lot of specificity to it, and I
kind of asked for more examples of what she was
trying to say, but essentially she thought it was bad
and she thought it radicalized people or whatever. And I
was saying there, and I was thinking to myself, like,
our family and several you know, members of it have
all been raised in a similar faith. And it doesn't
mean that everybody is currently actively part of that faith now,

(59:19):
but I don't think they have quite as much of
a negative opinion of religion itself. And the thing I
said I remember in that moment was I think religion
can be whatever you want it to be for you.
I think you can manipulate it. I think you can,
you know, change it, or you can do certain things
that allow you to understand that you know, this is
what I believe in essentially, And I just think it's

(59:41):
so interesting that that's itself. The idea of that seems
vilified to younger people in our society. And I hear
it all the time too, when you hear about certain
people in media or other places talking too much about
religion and someone getting annoyed by that.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
And I don't get that. And again, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Trying to overly preach and promise I'll move on to
another topic, but I just thought it was it was
really valuable as a core aspect of discussion about where
we go and how.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
And I also think it's interesting. I'll just throw this
out there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
The data suggests that young men are actually more likely
to vote for Trump, and young women are more likely
to vote for Harris. And we're more likely to vote
for Biden too, although I think that number was even less.
And I wonder how that all again ties together, how
religion and politics and all of these things that you
kind of thought could be your identity without being your identity.

(01:00:34):
And this is a weird preaching moment, but I can't
help this. This is where I'm going to go with this.
I think that a lot of people in today's society,
especially young people, people who are more I guess consciously
aware of what any one thing they say about themselves
means to other people, about like this is who I am,
because this is something that I say I believe in

(01:00:55):
or something I say I care about, And because of that,
you're almost shying away from having your own interpretation of it. No,
not all Republicans think the same stuff. They might vote
the same side of the isle but no, they disagree
on things. I actually, I think I even heard a
caller into a radio station in Florida talk about how
they believed a lot of the things that the conservative

(01:01:16):
side of the isle was saying, but they didn't know
if they believed all of them, and they wondered if
that made them a conservative. And I remember the host
essentially saying, who cares, it doesn't matter. Believe whatever you want,
think whatever you want. Let those be the things that
shape you. It's interesting there's a tribalism now today. And
maybe it's because of social media or something else, I'm

(01:01:37):
not sure. That feels like it's at the forefront of
people's unwillingness to even identify as religious, or identify as
as a political party or whatever whatever the thing is.
And then obviously people even decide their own genders now
and other things. That's confusing to a lot of the
rest of us. But nonetheless, I just find that so

(01:01:58):
important that there's this sort of fear that's saying something
out loud means that people will think a bunch of
things about you that aren't true, that aren't reflective of
what you think or what you believe. And because of that,
you just resign yourself to be away from all of it.
All Right, One other thing out there that's definitely getting
talked about a lot, certainly a valuable discussion to have.

(01:02:18):
Vladimir's Lensky, the president of Ukraine, is here in the
United States. I think he was signing different pieces of ammunition. Well,
he went on a tour of one of our plants,
which was odd.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
That was odd. I don't really care about that. It
was just strange.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
But apparently he's going to provide a victory plan for
us to all say he's allowed to follow, and that
victory plan involves attacking Russia deeper into their country. I
will say something out loud that I feel like has
value and I feel like it's important. From the beginning
of this conflict, when Russia invaded Ukraine, most Americans and

(01:02:55):
myself certainly included, wanted to see Ukraine prevail and Russia fail.
You don't want Russia to be able to take over Ukraine,
and I know that the Democrats fearmonger that into the
beginning of Russia taking over a bunch of other European countries.
But nonetheless, it's a very obvious, very simple point to
say you don't want to see that happen. But there

(01:03:15):
have long been contested regions in between Ukraine and Russia.
The Donbas region is one example that if the United
States had been approached, or if Europe had been approached
and been asked, hey, can you help Ukraine defeat Russia
and their proxies fighting in these areas, we would have
said no. We would have said, that's not a fight,

(01:03:35):
that's ours. And so Ukraine now, in trying to gain
full control of those regions, is saying they need to
bring the fight to Russia. And there is a moment where,
if you were an actual leader and not just someone
that was worried about, say the polling numbers or the
reaction to a sentiment, that you would say, that's the
moment we as a country and the other supporters of you,

(01:03:58):
the countries that are allowing you to defend yourself elf,
don't see eye to eye. We don't think it's important
for you to win over those contested areas. We think
it's important for you to defend what was in full
control by Ukraine from the beginning. And I guess Russia
has said multiple times that if they were to gain
control of part of those areas that this war would

(01:04:18):
be over, that that would be a peace agreement between
the two, sort of like when they annexed Crimea back
in twenty fourteen. I just find this interesting. I know
that might be a deep dive for some or maybe
you're going to just fully disagree with what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
That's fine, that's the whole point of this thing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
But nonetheless, it seems like there is in a potential
avenue on the table, and the people who need to
be told that that's something that they should seriously consider
are the ones that are not going to be told that.
As Zelensky goes around our country and meets with the
UN in New York and signs ammunition, he wants the
ability to attack Russia deeper in Russia, which is the

(01:04:53):
thing the United States was afraid of from the beginning,
and allowing them to do it. I don't know what
that does, if it actually does bring us closer World
War three or not, but I know that that's a
thing that we were fairly adamant, we didn't want to
see for quite some time, and it takes leaders to
say no. And Zelensky is pushing as he's here for
us to not do that, which is not in the

(01:05:13):
benefit of the United States, however you want to say it.
But anyway, that's a big story today too, because Zolensky
is doing yet another tour of the country and hoping
for you know, the big giant check as he leaves.
And again, I don't want to see Russia take over
defeat Ukraine in any way, shape or form.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
I feel like you got to say that whenever you
talk about that topic.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):

Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
I'll have what she's having.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
filling in, thrilled to be with you. A bunch of
stuff out there to discuss, to talk about an exciting
new trend. Everybody is very excited. They all want to
try purple apples. Apparently there are videos that have gone
viral all over the Internet. They claim they're in Saskatchewan
and some other places. But they are apples that just

(01:07:20):
seem normal, except their color is a vibrant purple. Here's
the problem. They don't exist. They're not real. AI has
artificially created them. A bunch of I guess farmers and
other people said they look really cool. They get why
people would like them, but they're not a thing. They
don't exist. You can't find a dark purple apple anywhere
in the world, and so that's strange. But the AI

(01:07:43):
images make them look delicious, so good luck to anybody
who eventually tries to make one. There's even versions of
all kinds of like jams and other things that they're
claiming or made from these purple apples that, again, are
not real.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
That's what the Internet is today.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
It's a thing that makes a whole bunch of kids like, oh,
I want those purple apples, and have no idea that
there's no such thing in the world whatsoever. I also
saw this someone in California said that their car was
broken into on Friday the thirteenth, unlucky or ready, and
just one thing was stolen, but the thing was pretty important.
It was a cardboard box that had a million dollars

(01:08:19):
in cash in it. Now, of course I think cops
are thinking that might not be true, that someone might
have gone a little rogue and trying to get some
extra money from their insurance company. But if it is true,
and I guess the car was being tracked with like
an Apple device or some other device so someone could
follow it around and find it and the owner didn't
know about that, that there's some sort of inside job

(01:08:40):
going on where one person is keeping a million bucks
in a cardboard box in their car and someone else
who knows them really wants to steal a million dollars
from the car. Every part of this is insane. I
want to know more about the person who's claiming this happened,
why they had a million dollars in a cardboard box
in the back of their vehicle, if they actually indeed
had it. There's a lot of things I'm missing from

(01:09:01):
this story out a KTLA, so I want more details.
And it is awesome, and I feel terrible for that person.
I also don't understand why they did any of the
things they did. Another thing out there I thought was
kind of cool as far as just some quick topics go.
Apparently you need a work best friend for your own
mental health. A group recently studied this and looked into it.

(01:09:22):
They said, one of the biggest negatives if you're working
remotely or in any sort of hybrid fashion is that
it's less likely for you to have a work best friend,
someone you bond with and crap on the company with
from time to time, or just whatever your.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Boss told you to do.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
This is a big lift mentally to a lot of
people throughout our country, as far as those who are employed,
someone that you think understands you and whatever your day
to day hassles are. And that's true in a whole
lot of walk to life. This isn't necessarily just true
for people who have a job somewhere, but it's something
that you wouldn't have really thought of. I guess if
you're trying to push for more at home or hybrid

(01:10:00):
versions of work, is that there might be a mentally,
you know, negative component to that, because not only are
you not creating relationships with people that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
You might not like all that much.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
Not everybody likes all their coworkers and that's fine, but
you're not finding that one person who gets it, that
one person who thinks these things are as hilarious as
you do.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
When people say stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
The suggestions for how you get this done and this
is weird and I'd never do this myself, but they're
saying you should. Is to set up a virtual grabbing
coffee or grabbing a beer or something where you just
hang out with someone and chit chat about work. If
neither of you are in you know person, you both
do this online and you sip on a beverage, will
you do it? I just couldn't get over like the

(01:10:41):
stupidity of that compared to doing it in real life.
I don't think it's the thing I could do because
I just don't think I would I would feel good
about being like, yeah, you want to go meet up
on the computer at night and chit chat? Well, it
just seems wrong. Unless we're launching a podcast, then it's
totally fine. Then it swings right back into real. One
other thing I saw out there, and I do love
this story. It's a Dalton nature, so I'm going to

(01:11:03):
try to talk about it the best way I count
on the radio. There's a woman. Her name is Annie Knight.
I don't usually throw names out there, but she's very
proud of herself. She had a goal in twenty twenty
three to be intimate with a certain number of men,
actually three hundred and sixty five. She wanted to be
intimate with a new person every day for an entire year,

(01:11:27):
and apparently, according to the Internet, she might have succeeded.
But she went on a podcast and she said she
wanted to level up in two thousand and twenty four.
I can't handle the story. And so now she's looking
to have six hundred friends in her life in twenty
twenty four. And I just got to wonder how anybody
that is related to this person feels about the unique

(01:11:49):
kind of celebrity that she has. I know that means
that I'm shaming or I'm doing whatever. I'm just curious
how people are feeling. There's no interview with anybody else
in the family about the amount of success that this
person has when she goes out and meets people, and
that's a thing, but it's out there in the world,
and apparently she's quite proud of it. But all right,

(01:12:09):
that is just one of many stories we'll revisit in
just a bit on the Chad Benson Show. Although I
guess she does say her favorite place to go is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
Hole in the wall bars. I find this very interesting too.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
She says that's the most successful spot for a person
like her who's looking to be romantic with more people
in a year than there are days in a year.
I wonder if, like people in any community she's in
are now aware of who she is. I wonder if
you're even like paying attention in the corner of the room,
if she's talking to somebody, if that's going to wind

(01:12:43):
up being successful, because I'm sure there's some people in
that community that are aware of this whole thing going on.
All right, quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling
in on the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

(01:13:25):

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
This is the Chad Benson Show. My name is Craig
Collins filling in. I'm not going to play the audio.
But Maclamore made the news the singer when he was
in Seattle and he said bleep America to a cheering crowd.
The worst of the words is just how he opened
up his show, or at least at some point during
his show. I guess, and I just wanted to say

(01:13:51):
one thing about that, well, I probably want to say
a lot of things about that, but some of them
would get me in trouble. But the one thing I
want to say, the thing that makes the most sense,
is the stupidity of this in all honesty, because I
think a lot of the cheering audience of young people
in that crowd don't even comprehend what they're saying. They're
just saying it because they're mad about something, and they

(01:14:11):
think whatever they're mad about, you got to blame who's
ever in power and whatever that power is all the
way up to the entirety of our country. And absolutely
I think Washington's the blame. Absolutely I'm upset with the
current administration. But the idea is just like, bleep my country.
And to have a cheering, roaring response to that, I
guess it's not as surprising in Seattle as some other
parts of this country is something.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
It's part of a growing problem.

Speaker 3 (01:14:35):
That exists in our society where the lack of any
version of patriotism or whatever you want to call it,
is one of the things that further divides us because
it's one of the obvious things that would keep us,
say together, keep us united, make us understand that we're
all Americans. If you hate America, or if you behave
as though you hate America, even if you don't understand

(01:14:57):
what that means, which is, again, might my hope in
a lot of this that that's just a new version
of a thing that exists for a lot of young people,
or maybe has always existed in some fashion, just not
quite like this. That is doing far more damage than good.
All right, there's some polls out there. Let's say that
Donald Trump is a leading Harris in several different swing

(01:15:18):
states by a pretty significant margin five four points in
a lot of those places. There was also this ABC
News report about how Kamala Harris is running way behind
both Hillary and Biden when it comes to Hispanic voters.
When it comes to voters of certain demographics, male minority

(01:15:40):
voters are less likely to vote for her than say,
female minority voters for a variety of reasons. But here's
a little bit of ABC News on this thirty plus.

Speaker 12 (01:15:48):
Point advantage for Joe Biden in the exit polls among
Latino voters from four years ago, Hillary Clinton won Latino
voters by forty points, and of course she's still lost
the presidency. So there's a real ground to make up
across demograph, but particularly with Latino voters. Kamala Harris has
some issues that she's got to attend to.

Speaker 3 (01:16:05):
Yeah, there are several voters actually who wind up saying
out loud versions of And I thought this was really
interesting because this was the view that went viral for this.
There was a take on the view a while ago,
and it was about Nicki Haley and how and I
think it was Sunny Hostin that said it, and I
can play it, I'm sure, but how Nicki Haley wasn't
allowed to all of a sudden talk about her ethnicity

(01:16:27):
because it was something that she hadn't really brought it
to the forefront of her discussion of her personality in
the past. And so Houstin was critical, and I think
she said that some people can even be chameleons in
some sense. And here, I'll actually play this audio because
I thought it was I thought it was really interesting
because now when you talk about Harris and you talk

(01:16:48):
about whether or not it's appropriate or okay to point
out that she's not someone who's brought her ethnicity the
forefront of a lot of discussions about her whatever on
paper she might be, it's not necessarily something that she's
been trying to make sure you were aware of as
she was progressing in certain political places. But to question
that now, the value of that, the intention of that,

(01:17:10):
which I think a lot of minority voters are doing,
is something that a lot of people are screaming and
yelling is racism.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
But here I want to play this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
This is the difference of when it was Nicki, Haley
and Houstin on the View reacting to it, and when
more recently they were talking about Kamala Harris and her
racial identity and how horrible it is to discuss this.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
These are back to back videos.

Speaker 8 (01:17:29):
I'll just play quickly, Nikki Haley's gone by Nicki.

Speaker 9 (01:17:32):
Since she was a child, it's documented in high school.

Speaker 8 (01:17:34):
I wouldn't be shocked that as.

Speaker 12 (01:17:35):
Somebody, an Indian woman growing up in South Carolina at
that time, she actually.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
Did to avoid prejudice.

Speaker 12 (01:17:40):
So I just want to be careful about critiquing it
going by.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
There's some of us.

Speaker 11 (01:17:44):
That can be chameleons and decide not to embrace our
ethnicity so that we can Passau's fare.

Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
Yeah necessary, you know, I think if she leaned into a.

Speaker 9 (01:17:53):
Lot of people don't go by their wait e serious.

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
So that again was her take the first time on Haley,
and how well, it's not exactly inappropriate to say that
her ethnicity hasn't been at the forefront of her identity,
so maybe we can question it a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
And here's how she talks about Harris.

Speaker 5 (01:18:08):
I think to question someone's racial identity, especially him, especially
him poor, the bar has fallen so low.

Speaker 3 (01:18:16):
It's fallen so low, and I helped drag it down
there as what she's missing on that. But again, I
find that so important and so interesting when you talk
about these things about her, and when you look into
these pulling numbers that keep coming out, that keep saying
to some of the democratic side of the aisle, surprising
things about lack of support for Harris and certain demographics

(01:18:37):
are with certain groups. It's probably because of that. I
would imagine that's a core part of it. And it's
true of anybody, you know, honestly, you know. The best
thing I can compare it to, and this is an
appropriate comparison, but darn it, I'm going to do it
is a fair weather fan in sports. I'm a fan
of certain sports, you know, teams. I love the Yankees
more than anybody else, certain organizations, and if somebody jumps

(01:19:00):
on that bandwagon late, it's something where you're like, I
don't know if I feel like you're the same kind
of fan I am, or you're in the same boat
I'm in.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
And it's a silly thing, but it's true.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
There's almost a resentment you have for someone that's saying
that they want your team to win because they haven't
been saying that for very long. The same I think
can absolutely apply to feeling like you're not part of
a group, whatever that group is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
However, you know, you figure that out.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
There's also this audio or video that went viral, and
granted it's just a bunch of people screaming, you can't
really tell that it's Harris. But if you were seeing
the video, if this wasn't radio, you would be able
to tell that it's Harris. But this is I think
back in twenty nineteen, she's chanting at a protest at
a rally of some kind, just as a member of
the crowd down with deportation. This is real, and so

(01:19:48):
someone who was put in port of the put in
charge of the border, who failed to secure the border.
Who now says that she's a prosecutor who kicks people
out of the country, And you know, this is why
we can trust her with this.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
The thing has a lot of problems in.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
Her history as far as how she's behaved in the past.
My favorite thing too, by the way, and I know
it's video so you can't see it, but that's what
they were chanting. And Harris's pointing her finger up and
down and chanting it right along with everybody else. As

(01:20:23):
it took her like four tries to get what the
chant was. She was looking around other people. She was
down with what now and up with who now? And
then eventually she started saying it and almost dancing and
applauding it too. And that's the person that tells you
that she's had a long history and none of her
ideals have changed. You should listen to her when she
says that, then none of her ideals, none of her

(01:20:44):
values have repositioned at all, because there's a lot of really,
really bad ones that are out there, and this feels
like one of many. That she was very much against
deportation and very much four practically wide open borders for
quite some time. Until now claiming that she's never been
for that in any way, shape or form, whatsoever. It's hilarious.

(01:21:04):
All right, let's do this. This is different. I want
to take a pivot from serious stuff. There's a new
development in South Los Angeles. It's the first ever costco
that's going to have apartments attached to it. So if
you go down to the bottom floor of your low
rise building, there's a costco there. If you go up
to the other floors, you're in a cost co living environment.
I think there's one hundred and eighty four different plans

(01:21:30):
for layouts and whatnot. There's eight hundred rental apartments that
are available in the low rise building above the retail space.
More and more organizations companies might consider versions of this
where people are lazy enough or desire enough to be
able to do everything in one spot. You just go
downstairs for the shopping and then back upstairs for the living.

(01:21:52):
I find this amusing, and I feel like a lot
of people talk about this when you talk about malls
throughout the country and how they're becoming less and less
success and you sometimes go to some and you feel
bad when you're in there. I remember going to a
mall as a kid, I remember actually Christmas shopping. My
grandmother would give us I think it was a couple
hundred bucks each, and you'd shop for all of your siblings,

(01:22:15):
like fifty bucks to each sibling or twenty five, I
can't remember the exact number, and then you'd leave them all.
And that's one of the only times i'd go to
a mall as a little kid and actually shop myself
and not just be bored and sad until we were
allowed to leave, or at least go to the food court.
But now when you go, it's just depressing. There's some
businesses there that seem like they're barely hanging on. There's
businesses there that you wouldn't have normally seen in malls

(01:22:36):
in the past. And so the discussion often is, let's
just live there. Let's just put up a bunch of
apartments and hotels or whatever in the top portion of it,
and then in the bottom portion still have the businesses,
and that'll be the only way to compete against the
Amazons or whoever the world. To make it that much easier,
you don't have to get in your car and drive
to a place. You'd just hit an elevator button and

(01:22:57):
go downstairs. It might be successful, though I don't know.
Costco says they'll of course have a pharmacy, they'll have
optical services, all kinds of other things to make it
easy for you to do so much while living at home.
And then finally, this is my favorite part. I don't
know why it's my favorite part, but it is of
this story. They'll also offer a delivery service, meaning if
you don't want to leave your apartment above the Costco,

(01:23:19):
you can pay them to bring the stuff up to you,
which is gotta be the laziest. Actually, I remember my
wife and I used to work at a place together
very recently, and there was a I think Jimmy John's,
like a block and a half from us, and whenever
I would order lunch and have them deliver the Jimmy Johns,
the misses would look at me like, really, a block

(01:23:39):
and a half, you couldn't make the trip and come back.
And I don't know, I guess I couldn't, So I'm
besmirching something. But I'm no better than the rest of us.
I shouldn't be throwing these rocks with my own glass house,
but it was something, and I remember the delivery guy
who'd come for more than just me. There were other
people that would also do these orders and have them delivered.
Would just laugh every time, like, yeah, I walked the

(01:24:00):
block over, I'm gonna drop this off for you, and
you pay me an extra two or three bucks. But
I think if it was inside of the same building,
I couldn't do it. I think that that would be
the limit where you'd have to feel a little lazier
if you had someone bring your stuff upstairs from the
Costco that's in the bottom floor of your apartment complex.
But hey, they know their customers are willing to do.

(01:24:21):
And maybe it's when you're not even there. Maybe you
give somebody a key, you let one of the Costco
people into the house, and they are into the apartment
and they just drop your stuff off, maybe cook you
a little food. That wouldn't be so bad. Maybe that
service going above and beyond Sneme's about right. But I
just found this hilarious, and I do think that this
will be the beginning of a trend for a lot
of brick and mortar places. To think the only way

(01:24:42):
to truly survive is to start getting people to live within.
I don't know, maybe at some point, you'll see people
living in the housing section of the target. I know
that a bunch of kids will go and lay down
in those places and joke. But maybe eventually somebody's just
gonna be living there. They're just gonna have their own
little spot, and they'll be like, Yep, this is what
it would look like if you owned this furniture. Because

(01:25:02):
I live here and I'm on this stuff all day long,
that would be amusing. I would almost enjoy that. Probably
not that much. Actually, I'm back and forth as to
the value of that. But at least in this situation,
they're above you and you can't see them all the
people who live above in the costco.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
But all right, this is a real story. It's out
there in the world. A good luck to anybody in
Los Angeles is going to do this sort of thing.

Deep states no deep doo doo eah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
filling in Thrilled to be with you. Chad is back
in a couple of days. There's a headline out there
that I couldn't get over. What is a freak off?
As cited in P Diddy's case against him A rapper
P Diddy or puff Dad or whoever. Sean Combs goes

(01:27:01):
by these days, is accused of a lot of really
creepy stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
But it's just odd to see a headline.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
With, you know, the word freak off or the phrase
in little quotes, and then they define it for us.
And I will be delicate as I define this, but essentially,
it's a really creepy thing that occurs where did he
hires professionals and other people and the expectation is a
lot of adult activities. And then, and this is the

(01:27:28):
craziest part of this alleged description of these things, he
brings a lot of drugs in, like cocaine, meth amphetamine
and oxycotin. That's not necessarily surprising, but in order to
keep partygo goers obedient is listed in the indictment. That's
one of the reasons he would do that. And that
is terrifying that you'd keep people hopped up on drugs.

(01:27:48):
They're doing really odd stuff. But he's accused of sex
trafficking and a bunch of other terrible things, racketeering and whatnot,
and many other celebrities might wind up in trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
I'll tell you this. This is the one thing I'll
say about this.

Speaker 3 (01:28:02):
As un fun as parts of the story are to
talk about whenever you sometimes worry that your aunt, uncle,
whoever it is, that's a conspiracy theorist in your home
says that, you know, there's a lot of deplorable people
in this world, and a lot of them are in
politics or in celebrity places. When you see a story
like p Diddy and all the stuff he's accused of doing,

(01:28:23):
you might wind up listening a little bit more to
the conspiracy theorist in your home, or in your house
or in your family, because they might be onto something,
at least partially because this is beyond disturbing, and the
amount of celebrities who seem worried about it seems pretty
high that they might somehow be involved too. All Right,
other things out there that are easier to talk about,
for sure. Millennials apparently are very happy that the Tamagatchi

(01:28:46):
is making a comeback. If you don't know what this is,
it was a little of virtual device, not exactly high technology,
that was a toy in the nineties, and you'd have
a pet that was sort of a fake, weird looking thing,
and it, you know, would die a lot. But all right,
quick break. A lot more coming up in a bit.
Tamagotchi's are back, and I do find this hilarious. The

(01:29:10):
duck whatever version of the thing is that that virtual
beet was, I could never keep it alive, and I
don't want to go back to that technology. I'm not
exactly appraising because it would do things that he didn't
need it to do, so very often. It'd be bathroom
breaks that he didn't clean up after, there'd be food
that it wanted. It was more annoying than fun as
a toy. But apparently the young people, the gen Z

(01:29:34):
generation is really loving and adopting this thing, and it's
making a lot of the parents happy who might have
one still lying around somewhere. But Tamagotchi making a big
old comeback in society, which proves that nothing is ever
going to be a fad that just happens once. Everything
can come back a second, a third, a fourth, who
knows how many additional times. Also, I did just find

(01:29:54):
this funny out there, and maybe I'll play this audio
again a little bit later. But a little girl wanted
to do a project for school in which she put
her whole family on this little art thing that she
created and in order to identify all the members of
the family. She wanted a little piece of hair from
her sisters, her brother, her mom, and dad, and so
she cut their hair while they were sleeping, which sort

(01:30:15):
of terrified Pop. But the little kid was very proud
about it, and she even showed him the picture and
I think this went viral online.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
That's crazy, that's his response.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
She's holding up the things she brought into school with
everybody's hair on it. No one knew it all was
a surprise when you were asleep and woke up. The
little kid cut the family member's hair of everybody family.
Good luck to that family and telling that kid why
that was not exactly right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
Quick break a lot more in a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
A Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life. This is

(01:31:15):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
filling in. Thrilled to be with you, Chad. Back in
a couple of days. He's still in charge of the country.
I'm not sure if we care about that. At least
the left doesn't seem to care about that at all.
But Biden's still our president, and he's going to be
our president for a little bit longer and he's doing
stuff like this in public.

Speaker 4 (01:31:36):
For being here.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
And now, who am I introducing next?

Speaker 1 (01:31:43):
Who's next?

Speaker 10 (01:31:45):
Sir?

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
It's awkward, distinguished, Okay, that's before anybody jumps in and
starts to introduce somebody next for him. That was seventeen
seconds of the President of the United States standing on
a podium. I'll play the again because this is uniquely
embarrassing for US as a country or just in general.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Here we go, Thank you guys so much.

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
And what am I doing now? I'm just gonna stand
nobody's talking. Oh my gosh, and just a lull uh, sir,
It's gonna be fine. We don't know how to fix
the situation. Oh my gosh. Yep, that's that's real. That
actually happened. This guy is still in charge of the

(01:32:28):
country for a little bit longer. By the way, I
think that Harris hung out a tad too much with Biden.
She was caught after getting off the plane having a
conversation with the press and they asked her, uh several
I guess easier questions. One thing she said, though she
wants another debate, she wants to debate Trump again. I

(01:32:54):
know that audio is terrible. I probably shouldn't keep playing
at batarn it. I tried it one more time. There,
she says, I'd like another debate. I hope the former
vice president would agree to that. I don't know which
one she wants to debate, but obviously that wouldn't be Trump.
That would be Pence or somebody else. There's a few others.
Cheney doesn't want to debate her because he's already endorsed her.
But I love that, the stupidity of just that little moment.

(01:33:15):
And yeah, that's a flub, that doesn't matter. You're not
going to make a decision to vote or not vote
for her based on her misidentifying Trump as a vice president.
But you know what it does say to me if
I'm trying to take a deeper dive, a serious take
on a topic like this. Even she isn't mentally thinking
of herself as the next president, she's still still seeing

(01:33:35):
herself as the role she's in. She didn't campaign to
wind up with the nomination. She didn't get any votes.
Bill Maher even made the joke that you could count
the amount of primary vote she got on one hand
as long as you have no fingers on that hand.
So again, her mentality might be the same as everyone
else is about her, which is sort of a disbelief

(01:33:57):
in some way that she's actually running for president now,
and that you know, Biden has actually stepped aside whether
or not this is what she wanted all along.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
I'm sure it was. So I'm not trying to say
that she doesn't want the gig.

Speaker 3 (01:34:09):
I just think it's interesting that part of you can't
get over this idea, and actually, as I say this,
I might as well throw it out there too. It's
been making the news a little bit more recently that
there are several swing states now where Trump is ahead
of Harris Arizona he's leading by five points, North Carolina
by two, and then Georgia he's leading by four points.

(01:34:32):
So the likelihood of Trump still winning this election is
actually quite high, even if media doesn't tell you that,
even if they care more about the popular consensus as
opposed to the consensus that matters for the electoral college.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Just a world we're in, all right. There's something else
I need to.

Speaker 3 (01:34:47):
Talk about a little bit more in depth, because it's
certainly the biggest story of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
So the DOJ has released.

Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
The letter or manifesto or whatever you want to call it.
That was written by the person who tried to kill
Trump at the golf course, the guy who got arrested,
who fled without firing a shot after they saw his
gun poking out of bushes. Literally like, it's crazy to
say this stuff and then to think about how little

(01:35:16):
some of this is getting covered in newsplaces. But he
wrote essentially a manifesto. The biggest thing about it CBS
News and a lot of others reporting on it and
even taking a photo of it. Is a point in
which he offers money to someone else to quote finish
the job if he fails to actually kill the former president.
And I still call him the leading candidate to be

(01:35:36):
the next president of the country because of those polls
I was talking about a second ago. This is surreal
for one big reason. It's surreal for a lot of reasons.
One of the biggest ones is media will always tell
you when they silence something that we would like more
information on. And the example I've given a couple times
is the manifesto from the transgender shooter who attacked children

(01:35:59):
in a relise just school. That's something that got buried,
something that was refused to be put out and even
a discussion about the identity of that person was silenced
by media for a while. And the reason that people
would tell you that, I worked with people who would
say they were not sure if that's something they should
be talking about or a piece of information they should
be providing, because they were worried that it would hurt somebody,

(01:36:22):
that somebody would go out there and do harm to
someone else because of a simple fact that's being shared
in the world. That that fact was too dangerous was
essentially something that you're told. And so media often does this,
and whenever they get accused of being silent on something
that they should at least be telling us the truth about,
they'll dive into that world. Actually, I'll give you another
example of a time when this happened to me, and

(01:36:45):
it was a work thing. It's not a place I
work anymore, But there was a discussion about someone who
is a pretty high value individual in a community who
had tragically died. The person had taken their own life,
and there's a whole story about embezzlement and oother thing
that is tied to it. But I was told by
a people I worked with that it was dangerous to

(01:37:05):
have that discussion, even though the facts were true, and
even though say, the listeners would care about those facts
because they were an aspect of a story that was
it seemed to be being hidden in some way. But
the danger was in encouraging anyone else to hurt themselves.
And there is some data and some things that might
back up the idea of that. But if we're ever
afraid of sharing facts, if we're ever afraid of giving

(01:37:28):
information to people and adding to it whatever other things
we want to add to it, saying something to the effective,
if you're someone who's struggling with mental health, here's where
you can go, Here's who you can contact, Here's how
you can get help so that you do not hurt yourself,
whatever that might be. That's a better version of the society.
We all want the honest society that it addresses or

(01:37:50):
discusses issues and then also tells people the thing that
you're worried about, like keeping it to yourself. I guess,
to me is the thing that makes no sense if
I'm in show arge of anything, or if I'm allowed
to build my own show like I am, when I
fill in places like here, then one of the things
I will always say to myself before any discussion I have,
is what's the piece of information that worries me or

(01:38:13):
concerns me, and then I share that too. That's the
way to do the job well, not this other way.
And so I'm not saying that it's a bad thing
that this letter has come out, even though you wonder
why it was out so quickly. It's just such an
easy example of hypocrisy and how they don't all believe
that they're trying to protect people, because certainly you could
make the argument that this has created a more dangerous

(01:38:35):
scenario for Donald Trump, now for any insane person that's
out there that'll read it. But again, the version of
a discussion about that is up protection to make sure
you're doing everything you can to prevent anyone from harming
Trump and making sure that the no fail organization that
exists in our society, the Secret Service, does not fail
again like they did the first time that someone tried

(01:38:57):
to take Trump's life and only fail to succeed because
Trump miraculously turned his head, not because his life was
saved by the protection around him. Even though eventually, yes,
that shooter was killed by Secret Service. Trump is lucky
to be alive from that first attempt, and that matters,
and that deserves to be a discussion point. And I

(01:39:17):
guess I'll just say one more thing about this. I
don't mean to rant about this for too long, but
I know it's one of the biggest stories of the
day and we'll be all over the news because of
the significance of it and that it's a former president.
But when I think about any of these things, and
you know, talking about them and addressing how much they matter,
I just can't get over the idea that we've had

(01:39:39):
two assassination attempts against one of the two people running
for the office of president. And after the first one,
the one in which a bullet actually made contact with
a part of his body with his ear and caused
him to bleed, he stood up and pumped his fist
in the air and continued to say the word fight.
Wanted them to let him put his shoes on, wanted
to walk off the stage on his own, like he

(01:40:00):
wanted to do so many things that were defiant to
the idea that someone just trying to kill him. You
can hate Trump, you can love Trump. And I know
this is probably you know, on repeat a lot of places,
But that moment, according to Mark Zuckerberg and so many others,
was uniquely American in badass. And the fact that it's
not discussed more that he wasn't asked a question during

(01:40:21):
a debate about it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:22):
It's it's insane.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
And if they're going to use any argument to say
the reason they're not doing it is they don't want
to add more fuel to some sort of fire, then
why put this letter out?

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
Would be the only question I have to that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:33):
If you're trying to protect people by hiding facts from them,
which I don't think ever actually protects people, then the
thing you should do is at least be consistent with
that flawed ideology, not exactly the opposite, which is what
they're being I hear, but I just can't get over it.
I think the entire election cycle, all the way up
to November, the one thing I'll keep thinking in my
mind is not that there needs to be a political

(01:40:54):
win from an attempted assassination of a former president who's
running for but just that there isn't one. You know,
I'm not trying to say that there should be one necessarily,
but it's sort of amazing to think that it's not
been more politically valuable to those who do not support Trump,
but we at least would contemplate voting for him, because

(01:41:15):
in that moment, after the first one, I thought the
election was over, and somehow it's not, and we're still
having this discussion and there's still people, and I can
play the Bill Maher audio again if I want to,
where he introduces the topic to his left leaning New
York audience and they laugh, their responses laugh before he's
even attempted to make a joke, and mar says out loud,

(01:41:35):
this is bad.

Speaker 2 (01:41:36):
And he's right, that is very, very bad.

Speaker 3 (01:41:39):
The hatred that some of us feel we are allowed
to have now is scary to me. It is, and
I know that's something that the left says all the time,
but it's true that there's some version of this that's
making an enemy out of each other that seems more
dangerous than good, and more prevalent than it's ever been.
All right, quick break, A little bit more coming up.

Speaker 7 (01:43:21):
Running with Scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 2 (01:43:24):
Say this is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
with you, A bunch of stuff to talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:43:35):
Chad is back in a couple of days. I thought
this was interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
I think Newsweek and a couple other places put this
out The top fights you have with your in laws
Number one. Fight is about politics thirty one percent of
people apparently argue with their in laws about this twenty
two percent, Lifestyle choices twenty one percent, Dispute about a partner,
meaning that you're actually arguing with your in laws about

(01:43:59):
the decision made of the person that they're actually related to.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
I don't know why that is interesting to me.

Speaker 3 (01:44:04):
Money nineteen percent, and parenting decisions eighteen percent. There's actually
also this story out about how young people are finding
it amusing when they get advice from their grandparents, so
a couple generations removed from them. Apparently they're accusing the
older generation of gramnesia, which is where they think that

(01:44:25):
the bringing up of a child was easier a couple
generations ago than it is now, and they're accusing the
grandparent and just being.

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
Wrong about stuff. I find that funny.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
And the reason I find that funny is not that
I disagree that it seems like parents struggle more to
deal with their kids than a couple generations ago. But
that's because the solution to some of those problems worked,
and they don't do those solutions anymore. One of my
favorite things referenced in the Gramnesia article is that grandparents
would say, you know what, spanking worked, and you turned

(01:44:56):
out just fine, even if you got scolded sometimes with that. Now,
of course that's thing nobody does, and they're right about that.
By the way it would it would work. That is
a prevention mechanism that does I don't have any kids,
don't you know, call the authorities trying to protect my
children from me.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
I'm not spanking anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
That felt like a weird thing to say out loud,
but anyway, this is a thing that's happening in the world,
and people are upset with their grandparents.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
But actually, I actually do believe that.

Speaker 3 (01:45:22):
It might have been not easier, but more effective raising
kids in past generations because they probably were more obedient
because of the things that kids get away with now
or nuts. I mean, if you see a kid in
a store throw a tantrum, and then you feel bad
for the parent, part of you might also wonder, why
aren't you doing more to prevent the kid from doing this.

(01:45:44):
There's got to be something. There's got to be some
punishment that actually would work. Otherwise the kids run the households.
But anyway, I thought both of those things were funny
that we fight within laws. Apparently parenting is one of
the things that we fight within laws about. And then
just also the idea that as you're fighting with the
in laws about these things, you're also struggling with the kids,
and that's harder than it's ever been before in our society.

(01:46:07):
Another thing out there. This isn't necessarily a silly topic.
I try to end with a bunch of silly stuff.
It's just weird the amount of things that are coming
out about Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Now there was the
whole story about the deer that he left somewhere or bear.
I think it was actually a bear that he left
in like Central Park or something like that. And now
there's a story about a whale and how he might

(01:46:29):
have cut the head off of a dead whale and
taken it home, and now he's being investigated for that,
even though that happened twenty years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:46:38):
Robert F.

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
Kennedy Junior has suspended his campaign. He's no longer running
for the office of president. I'm amazed at the amount
of like hit pieces coming out against him. Whether they're
true or not, I don't know. I can't give you
more details on it. But this story is also just
like uniquely strange to be out there in the world
and to be something that people are discussing.

Speaker 2 (01:46:57):
Of course, Robert F.

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
Kennedy Junior through his support behind Trump, and I think
he has appeared in some certain capacity and promoting Trump.
But it's just it's odd again to talk about the
amount of things coming out about this person, who you
also would think was a pretty significant public person, being
a Kennedy, that there wouldn't have been as many skeletons
in the closet or whatever you call them to come

(01:47:20):
out in the first place. And I don't even know
the value of these stories anymore, but it's out there.
I think AP News and others are discussing it, so
I thought i'd bring it up because just again I'm
confused at the significance of so much of these things
that are coming out about this.

Speaker 2 (01:47:33):
And then all right, one.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
Last thing I mentioned I was going to talk about this.
I do think it's kind of cool. A couple in
California took their cat on a trip to Yellowstone and
then lost their cat. I guess it ran off or something.
Two months later, the cat showed up in a shelter
close to the house eight hundred miles away.

Speaker 2 (01:47:51):
So that is awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:47:52):
And the version of Homeward Bound, the movie that you
saw as a kid, just happening once again in real life.
The amount of cats and dogs that find their way
back home is great. I'm very happy about that. And actually, also,
even though I'm a dog person, more fan of dogs
than cats, someone put a go pro on a cat's
head and that video has gone viral for a day

(01:48:14):
in the life of a cat not in Springfield, Ohio
and somewhere else where.

Speaker 2 (01:48:17):
It's jumping around and having fun.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
It's got a bunch of other cat friends it interacts
with throughout the day, which I thought was kind of odd.
But that's a video I recommend for anyone out there
that wants to just turn your brain off for fifteen
or twenty seconds, I'll watch a day in the life
of a cat.

Speaker 2 (01:48:33):
It seems like it's not so bad.

Speaker 3 (01:48:34):
But that plus this one that journeyed eight hundred miles
home are both in the news today. And no GoPro
put on this other cat's head, which is very sad
because that would have been homeward bound the movie too.
All right, this is Craig Collins filling in on the
Chad Benson Show. And I really do believe that if
my dog ever got lost, that my dog would find

(01:48:55):
me relatively quickly, because my dog is just insane. My
dog's name is and she's crazy, but I do think
she's intelligent. I don't know if a lot of people
who own pets wind up convinced that their dogs are
smarter than other dogs, but I think it's true. So
I think my dog would find me. So maybe I
should invest in the GoPro so I can make millions
off of that video. All right, I'll see you guys later.

(01:49:17):
Craig Colin's feeling in on the Chad Benson Show.
