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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
What can you say about yesterday? I watched a bit
of it throughout the day. It was amazing, the amount
of love, the size of the crowd, the outpouring of
love from different places in the political spectrum, especially when

(00:40):
it came to Erica Kirk and how she approached this
and the way that she did, which was amazing. I mean,
there's nothing else you could say. It was absolutely incredible,
and Charlie's gone will not be forgotten. I heard several

(01:00):
people say, you've awakened something here. There's no doubt about that.
There is no doubt about that. And the amount of people.
I had a couple of friends who who just went
there random, like they were. They're not super political, they
live in Arizona, and you know, they decided to go

(01:22):
and they got up at four in the morning and
there was already thousands of people lined up. How many
people this will be the dispute? You know, it's tens
of that And it was a lot more than tens
of thousands. Was it two hundred thousand? We could debate that.
Was it over one hundred thousand. I think it's fair
to say that shows you the amount of reach and
if I'm a Democrat and I'm sitting there today and

(01:44):
I'm looking at this, and I'm thinking to myself, we
have nobody on our side of the aisle that can
that have not only evokes that kind of emotion and outpouring,
but we also have nobody who had that kind of reach. Nobody.
But it was a memorial, a celebration. I was worried,

(02:06):
and I think rightly so, that the Republicans were going
to in particular the mag of folks were going to
hijacket in some ways they kind of did. But Charlie
loved Trump. They were friends, and I continue to say this.
Without Charlie, I don't think Trump is in the White House.
And that wasn't just for the work he did from

(02:26):
the last of the election cycle. That was going way back,
the building up and strengthening of Turning Point USA. But
there was no doubt yesterday for all the stuff. You know,
Trump said some stuff the usual, and there was times
that it was very lighthearted, but it was about her.

(02:49):
It was about her how she felt, which I just thought, again,
she's coming at a lot of people are coming at
this is very political thing. That's understandable. This is a
woman who is coming at this in a way that
is much different because she lost her husband, the rock

(03:10):
of her family, she lost the father of her children.
So thinking while everybody else is this has become a
political thing, obviously, because it was an assassination based on
the beliefs of an individual who has lost his blanking

(03:33):
mind and thought this was the best thing to do,
to do what I'm not quite sure. I'm not quite
sure what the endgame was, and I don't know if
we'll ever find that out. While everybody's coming at from
the political side, it was the side that matters the
most out of all of this is what she lost,

(03:59):
which was her ever thing.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I felt everything you would expect to feel. I've felt shock,
I felt poor, and a level of heartache that I
didn't even know existed.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
You're going to think about waking up on that day.
It's another day. We're going to campus, We're going to
go speak, we're going to do our thing, We're going
to have some fun, we're going to debate some kids.
You got your family with you, and you go there

(04:43):
and it's over, and it's over. So the emotions of
you know, when when somebody is sick and dying of
a disease. There is that time when you can go
through all of the emotions, but you can also go
through it with that person. It's different. This was just

(05:07):
over and there was no fixing it. There was no
coming back, there was no fighting for it. There was
no we could try this treatment. It was just over.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Charlie died with incomplete work, but not with unfinished business.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
But the most powerful part of the evening of the day,
depending on where you were in the country, was what
she had to say how she lives her life. But
what she had to say about the individual who killed
her husband, that young man on the cross.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Our Savior said, Father, forgive them for they not know
what they do. That man.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Back yard man, I forgive him.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I thought that was powerful. Let's say, I forgive you.
I forgive you for what you did, for what you
took from me, what you took from my family, not
just in the political world, because that's you know, I
forgive you for what you did. Very powerful. Talk a

(07:18):
lot about this throughout the day. It was definitely an
emotional weekend, to say the least. And you know, the
politics of it all isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I
think we all recognize that as everybody kind of jockeys
around the you know, he said, she said this, that,

(07:39):
and the other using this in some cases to benefit
themselves to cause controversy. To me, I looked at it yesterday.
I didn't want the politics. I cared about the person
and the survivors. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three actual had Benson shows your extra
instaf YouTube, Facebook, and more. A lot more of this

(08:01):
we'll get to throughout the day Friday. By the way,
fears didn't know, well many of you did. What took
place was hell when it came to travel, and I
hadn't friends caught up in it this weekend still trying
to get to certain places because there was a nightmare
at DFW that was insane. And then you had all

(08:24):
kinds of issues when it came to cyber attacks throughout Europe.
I mean, it was crazy what was happening with travel.
There were times when you're looking around, going okay, how
many flights have been canceled? Why are they canceled? What
has taken place? Oh? Okay, somebody did.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
What in Dallas accidentally cut cable lines are to blame
for disrupting hundreds of flights and an out of DFW
International Airport and love Field on Friday tonight. The FAA
says the problem underscores the need to modernize the nation's
air traffic control system. The NBC fives Katie Blinkey has
more on the mess. Airlines and passengers are still trying

(09:05):
to unravel.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
With flights back in the air. Saturday Insight DFW Airport,
airlines and passengers work to recover from the night before.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
It was just kind of a stressful for us. I mean,
of course, it could be our age. Many more stressful
for us.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
The Zimmerman's are taking their vacation disruption and strike after
a major telecommunications outage caused groundstops and delays at both
DFW and love Field.

Speaker 8 (09:31):
We got a message last night saying that our flight
had been canceled and that they would notify us of
another flight, which.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
They did not, by the way.

Speaker 8 (09:42):
So then we started scrambling trying to find another flight.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
So you had that going on, and then in Europe
the nightmare of cyber attacks travel chaos, and as we
always talk about, it only takes one issue for it
to start to go sideways. And then the dominoes start
to fall and we are so vulnerable and we need

(10:09):
to modernize. But this had nothing to do really with
the modernization in some ways because they cut lines what
they shouldn't have been cutting at all and digging. I mean,
you know what is amazing is it's all you have
to do is to do what just go in and

(10:30):
just cut a line and this grounds everything. Oh I
don't like that. Nobody likes that. So they've got everything
up and running. Europe is still a bit of a
nightmare because of cyber attacks. People are thinking there is
going to be bigger things coming in the days. So
we want you guys just to pay attention out there.

(10:51):
If you're going to be traveling, be smart about it,
get there early, but call and double triple check because
some people are thinking there is bigger issues coming in
the days ahead when it comes to travel nationwide. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three Acts had Benson shows your Acts,
your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook, and more. A lot

(11:13):

what they think they have found right from Health and
Human Services CDCFD. Are are they coming up with something
with autism? We're gonna find that out, among other things.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Show Chad Benson Autism.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
What did they solve it? Where does it come from?
How did we get here? Well, guess what. The one
and only MAHA leader himself. I say, that's not very nice,
but it's true. Robert Kennedy Jr. And his group of
folks believe they have solved the mystery of autism. And

(13:35):
it is linked, they say, to something everybody takes, including
pregnant women.

Speaker 9 (13:40):
The Washington Post reports the administration is planning to link
autism to the use of tail and all in pregnancy,
and is expected to claim that the FDA approved cancer
drug luca vorn is a possible treatment for autism. Both
claims raising concern among many doctors. No studies have proved
that use of tail and all, known as the seed

(14:02):
of minifin by pregnant women, is a cause for autism.
Some limited evidence suggests it's associated with higher rates of
neurological issues, but those studies have been mixed.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, mixed. So I know autism pretty well. Okay, my
eldest she's autistic. My little brothers, let's run down Dakota autistic,
Elijah autistic. These are my little brothers. Okay, they are
high functioning, but autistic. I coached soccer form my little

(14:36):
brother Spencer's team, who has a lot more issues than autism,
and a vast majority of the kids that were on
the team as a special needs team, they were autistic.
One thing I've noticed, and I used to say this
all the time, most of the mothers and fathers were older,
like their first kids were in their forties, late thirties,

(14:58):
in the forties. That was one of the things I've
I thought. But did I think that it would be this? Now?
What does Thailand all say about this? Because you know
they've got something to say.

Speaker 9 (15:08):
The maker of Thailand all saying we will leave independent
sound science clearly shows that taking a seat of minifin
does not cause autism, We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise.
Scientists who've been studying autism for decades warn the administration's
timeline examining this has been too short to come up
with a single cause. Doctors and autism researchers point of

(15:31):
figure showing rates of thailand all use during pregnancy have
declined in recent years, even as rates of autism have increased.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three At Chad Benson Show, is your Acts, your Insta,
your YouTube, Facebook and morphomacy showgret the podcast right to
the Chad Benson Show, and you can go look at
the numbers with autism. I mean, it's incredible how much
it is it has risen, and some of that also
has to do with the fact that you know, it's
neurodiverg and we've made the spectrum much larger, so there's

(16:06):
a lot to it. To think that they could come
up with something this quick, yeah, I'm a little doubtful.
I mean, I would love to think that they found something,
but I'm a little doubtful, and I do mean doubtful
because I think there's a thousand things to go into this.
It is not just one thing. You know. Why are

(16:27):
some kids on the spectrum that have Aspergers or high functioning.
Why are other kids nonverbal but they're brilliant in certain ways?
What happens with the wiring? Why is the wiring the
way it is? I don't think it's as much as
well people took time on all. Really, I find that
to be just bizarre. Now in my day, I always

(16:47):
joke around with this, you know, you know, I'm a
kid in the seventies and eighties, like, Mom, is that
a picture of you pregnant with me?

Speaker 4 (16:55):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
A screwdriver and a smoke in your hand? Screwdriver to drink?
There was a different time, Chad, we didn't know about
doctor Spock. So I think there's a lot that goes
into it, and I think most of you guys understand that.
But there's no doubt this is going to cause controversy.
And I would love it to be true where we

(17:15):
could find something that we're like, wow, and maybe this
is a way to change some of the stuff or
verse some of the things. Maybe, But I don't know.
This feels like this to me, This feels like a
reach let me know what you think three two, three, five, three,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your Acts,
your Insta, your YouTube of your Facebook and more. If
you're missing the show, We've had the podcast Happy Money,

(17:37):
Everybody's Chad.

Speaker 10 (17:38):
Benson Show, Chad Benson Joe.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
All this is going on, the chaos, the craziness here.
There is more chaos and craziness going on globally Middle East.
What is happening there, Well, it's a nightmare. I think
we can all recognize that I've spoken out about it.
I get hammered for it a lot. I don't care.
I think what's going on based in the liquid party,
which is bb net, Yahoo's party is bs as. I

(18:30):
say something else there, but we'd get in trouble for it,
So I'm not going to say it's it's awful, it's horrible.
It's ethnic cleansing. They're not even pretending anymore, and the
rest of the world is trying to do everything they
can because you're not just standing up to Israel, You're
standing up to us because we, for whatever reason, have
decided we are not going to call them out. He

(18:53):
shows zero respect for our president. Zero respect for our
country bb net yah who does zero? So other nations
are standing up, going all right, you know, as the
UN General Assembly gets ready to meet, we're going to say,
you know, we're going to start looking at at Palestine
as its own country. We're going to start to recognize it.

Speaker 11 (19:10):
Some of America's closest allies breaking step with the Trump
administration on a key foreign policy issue. In a largely
symbolic move, the UK, Canada, Portugal, and Australia saying they
recognize for the first time the state of Palestine, calling
for an end to the war in Gaza and the
release of all hostages. A top Palestinian officials calling the
declarations a triumph for humanity, justice and peace.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
And look, you don't want to reward Hamas for what
they did, you don't, but you can't look at this
and think this is something that is going to benefit
Israel and it's not benefiting us. It's not. We're pouring
tons of money, billions of dollars in We are a
party to what is happening over there. And I'm beyond

(19:55):
frustrated as a Christian first and foremost as a father,
as a human being, seeing what is going on over
there is horrific. And I look, and you've always had
to preface this, right because the minute you say something,
everybody's like, well, it's because you're it's because you hate
the Jews, or you're anti Semitic, whatever crap that people
throw out, and you just laugh because they're not getting it.

(20:17):
They're not they don't understand it. That's the crap that
they put up with, is stuff that they've been fed
over and over again. If you don't think that's true,
listen to ro Kahana here talking about Israel and how
much money they've been spending over here lobbying US, but
also setting up all kinds of bots and groups to

(20:40):
get that on social media and to come after anybody
and to push an agenda that is not only pro Israel,
but anti Palestinian and blame everything, by the way, on him.

Speaker 12 (20:54):
Well broke a bombshell story that Israel had hired a
Democratic Force SKDK to do propaganda. SKDK and their parent company,
according to Politico, we're engaged in promoting propaganda about Gaza
and even having bots proliferate these kind of social media platforms.

(21:17):
This shows the problem of big money in politics. It
should be illegal for any foreign government to hire a
strategy firm to do social media propaganda. And we need
to eliminate bots from these platforms. We need to clean
up our government so that the American people get to
decide our policies.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Amen, I agree a hundred percent. And he's right. So
they're doing that. It's costing us billions. They're acting without
a worry. I mean, the whole thing with what took
place and Cutter is insane if you think about it.
And they're doing it all on their own, all the
while ethnic cleansing, trying to move millions of people. And

(22:01):
I asked this question over and over again. Okay, let's
just say you move these millions of people. Where are
they going? This is it? Nobody wants them, nobody can
afford them. Where are you going to send them? You're
talking about sending them to Africa somewhere. Okay, so you
send him to Africa? Who do you think is paying
for that? And in Israel it's gonna be honest, it

(22:22):
isn't should frustrate all of us what's going on. They're
doing it in our name and I want no part
of it, zero part of it. So we'll see what
takes place, because Babe wants Trump to come down hard
on anybody who recognizes Palestine, so that's probably more tariffs

(22:45):
things of that nature, once again getting the things that
he wants, while America sits back and goes, eh, you
know what happened. Only people in the Boomer range in
the middle of the country for the most part, are
the ones supporting Israel at this moment in time. It's
not that people don't support Israel and the Israeli people

(23:08):
and the right to exist, that's always my favorite thing.
Do you think we have a right to exist? Yes?
Do we have a right to defend yourself? Yes? Do
you want the this is my favorite thing, always get Oh,
so you want the terrorists to win? What did you
get that? I think killing seven year olds is bad.
It's because you want the terrorists to win. Okay, Well
that was a good conversation. Af That's all you have.

(23:30):
That's it, that's it. You have the right to exist,
of course you do. You have the right to defend yourself, Yes,
all of those things are true. Do you have to
right to ethnically cleanse an area and kill everything in it?
All the while screaming, Oh, they were all terrorists and
starving people to death. I'm gonna go know on that one.
Let me have to think three two, three, five, three eight,

(23:51):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Showisher Exsuer
Insta yesterday, Glendale, Arizona, Phoenix. Think of it that way
if you don't know what it is, slash celebration of
life for Charlie Kirk. Everybody spoke, there was anybody in
the in the political Maga universe. He did not hate

(24:11):
his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where
I disagreed with Charlie.

Speaker 13 (24:18):
I hate my opponent and I don't want the best
for them.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I'm sorry. I am sorry. Erica Trump being Trump at times,
a lot of people were excited to see him and
Elon shaking hands. Everybody had been Charlie would have wanted this, Yeah,
Charlie probably would have wanted that. And it was there
were times, you know, where people that came up and

(24:43):
gave speeches that were very emotional, and there was a
worry that this was going to become a magafest, and
at times it did. Uh. I had several people reach
out to me yesterday and say, look, I got a
little nervous because I just thought they were going to
take it over. And I was kind of right. I
think in some cases yes, you know, I mean, yes,

(25:03):
I mean the but this was bigger than that. Charlie
was bigger than that. You know, his minister talked about
the fact that, and we have discussed it here on
this show on numerous occasions. I don't know how much
longer Charlie was going to continue due to the politics
of it all. I think he'd become very frustrated. I
think he'd felt he had done enough. I think he

(25:25):
really wanted to bridge gaps between people, and I think
his mission was to bring more people to the Lord
rather than the politics of it all. That was my sense,
and the people that I had talked to that known
that he was just he was frustrated. He was frustrated
of dealing with the donors and the battle that was
going on, in particular with Israel and all of them.

(25:47):
And you know, follow the line, but you've got a
younger generation that is nowhere near following the same line
that Grandma and granpon, Mom and Dad followed. So that
was becoming a frustration for him. But there was a lot.
There was a lot that was very touching. You're a
lot from yes even the MAGA folks who you know,
we forget Don Junior and a lot of these younger

(26:13):
people in the world of MAGA that were close with
him as friends, like the hangout kind of send each
other memes, actual friends, as well as the likes of
our Maha himself. Let's make America healthy again, Robert Kennedy Junior.
So there was a lot of different things that played
into this yesterday. And was it somewhat hijacked. I mean,

(26:36):
you can't have that many people that high, I mean
that kind of crowd that you have, the high level
of people that were there and not think that politics
was going to play a role in it. It was somewhat
and has been hijacked because both the right and the
left have decided to make this all about the politics

(26:59):
of and it's hard not to. And like I said yesterday,
I watched just her speech. I got some of the
highlights throughout the day, but I wanted just to see
her Erica because to me, this was a celebration of
her husband, of a father, of the love of her life,

(27:21):
and the way that she handled I thought was spectacular.
I really did. The way that she handled it was
absolutely incredible. Talk more about that a little bit later. Immigration.
You know, there's a nightmare there. Now, where do we
start with immigration? Well before we get to all the
other stuff. If you guys haven't heard, Tom Homan got
caught in a stink and the Department of Justice, I guess,

(27:43):
is like, Eh, we're gonna left this.

Speaker 14 (27:45):
Twenty twenty four, an FBI sting operation allegedly caught him
taking fifty thousand dollars in cash from undercover agents posing
as businessmen. The White House says it was a political investigation,
but concern is growing that the Trump administry is protecting
high profile officials from legal scrutiny.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yes, so what ended up happening? He being Tom Homan,
took fifty thousand dollars in cash from undercover FBI agents
at a like I got to say, a casual dining restaurant.
It was cava. Is that what it is? Cava? I

(28:26):
don't know, I don't know what it's called. But so
he takes his money in return. It is a He
had promised that he would help them get contracts. So
he's on tape too. This is not something. He took

(28:47):
fifty thousand dollars in cash with the promise that he
would help secure government contracts across the border security industry
during Trump's second term, and the Department of Justice said, yeah,
we couldn't really probably get a conviction. I'm like, he's
on tape. He takes the cash and he promises people's stuff,

(29:10):
and there's no way you can get a conviction. Now.
I get that if you guys know anything about the
federal side of stuff, they only go after stuff when
it comes to prosecution that they know they're going to
win slam duck. But it does call into account the
fact that you're dropping something where if this was anybody else,
and I tell everybody, look to the other side. If

(29:32):
you think that somebody was taken fifty grand from the
Biden administration to help them when it comes to NGOs
helping secure people temporary visas or green cards, you would
have lost your I just want to point that out

(29:53):
to you. Okay, that is called hypocrisy, and that is
scary because Trump is playing the game with the Department
of Justice, as we all know that, I find ridiculous.
Case in point, Pam Bondy, who is useless.

Speaker 15 (30:10):
By there, President Trump is demanding Attorney General Pam Bondi
take action against his political foes. In a post over
the weekend, he named former FBI Director James Comy, California
Senator Adam Schiff, and New York Attorney General Letitia James,
saying they impeached me twice and indicted me five times
over nothing. Justice must be served now, justice.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Must be served. Now. I want you to go after
these people. This person, that person, this person, and that person.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
I know.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I just want people to act. They have to act,
and we want to act fast. They want him to act.
You have to act. Now, you have to act fast.
And I think Pam Bondy is going to go down.

Speaker 13 (30:52):
As one of the best attorney generals of the ages.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
No chance in hell. She's useless. And so with all
this going on, pissed off because Latitia James wasn't prosecuted,
Trump pressured to have the guy that should have been prosecuting.
Essentially he resigned, and now he's going to put in place,
shocker here, another haughty attorney to take up the case.

(31:20):
And he wants these people prosecute it. And I just
sit back there and I'm thinking to myself, well, if
the case is there, right, go for it. You got
somebody on tape, Your borders are taking fifty K and
he can't prosecute that. You've got Epstein stuff everywhere and
there's still no prosecutions outside of one person who's dead.

(31:44):
Oh Jiminy Cricket three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Jedd Benson shows your ext
your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and more capital When
you talk to my buddies over at Bulwark right now,
they get ready to you back to Basics Webinarober second,

the Chad Benson show.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Ronning with Scissors sounds great compared to this.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
So let's talking about a frickburn, shall we? The NFL.

(33:45):
I give you guys my picks every week, and I
will say not a bad week, not a great week.
I've I've had great weeks, right, I mean We're only
into a third week, but this week pretty good so far.
Got the Bills right, man, I got the vikingss wrong,
thought that was gonna be better. I got the Jaguars right.
I got the Titans right. I got the Commanders right.

(34:06):
I got the Eagles right. Failed big time with the
Panthers and the Falcons. I thought the Steelers, I just
didn't think they looked that good. I thought for sure
Patriots are gonna win. Didn't happen. Brown surprised the Packers.
If you didn't watch that game, Browns looked like they
were done and dusted, came down, blocked a field goal,
gets it, drives fifty five yarder win. Awesome, awesome. Indeed,

(34:29):
I got the Bucks right, Chargers right, Seahawks crush the Saints,
Bears beat up the Cowboys, mauled them, as they would say,
forty nine Ers gonna win over the Cards. Chiefs beat
the Giants, and then one more game tonight Lions Ravens.
So so far yesterday ten and five. I've got one
more game left, and tonight I have the Ravens beating

(34:50):
the Lions, and I almost think it's gonna be a hell
of a game. Though, oo yeah. Yeah, Speaking of that
games and whatnot, the toush push, stay or go.

Speaker 16 (35:00):
It is renewed pressure for the NFL to make a
call on this nearly unstoppable move. It's basically where the
quarterback surges forward with help from behind and hopes of
a first down or touchdown. Now, last week, remember the
Eagles used it several times against the Chief, the NFL
later admitting that officials missed at least one of those
false starts. This week, the NFL they're ordering reps to
officiate it tight, meaning no wiggle room on early movement,

(35:22):
but that MIMO didn't necessarily stop the Eagles from successfully
running it again today against the Rams.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I have a feeling they're going to push it out.
That was pontacular right here in the Chad Benson Show
coming up hour number two of the program. A lot
of stuff still to get to Moron Charlie Kirks's memorial.
I thought it was all the things, but I think

(35:51):
the power of Erica's speech was incredible, and I think
the outpouring of love from the mass of people that
was there was also awesome to see. Let's talk a
lot about that. Some TikTok news as well, a bunch
of other good stuff to get to, including the cost

(36:11):
of the American Dream. It's more expensive than ever before.
You missed a new show show when you read the
podcast our number two of the show straight ahead, this
is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 17 (36:22):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
There was no doubt yesterday was powerful. Listening to everybody speaking,
I'm not going to sit here and go over what
the president. A lot of people said. I've been saying
this throughout the show, and I'll continue to say it.

Speaker 18 (37:03):
To me.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
It was about her. I'm not sure that you know
she would have chosen such a big place to mourn
in public the way that Erica Kirk did. But I
will tell you she did an amazing job. The rest
of it. The politics, I don't want any part of it,

(37:25):
not in this moment. And it's hard because politics is
the world that so many people live in. And it's
hard because Charlie was politics. But I thought the way
that she handled it, the way that she spoke, the
way that she delivered her eulogy, if you will, her

(37:51):
love note to her husband, I thought really honored his
memory in a way that was an.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
He felt everything you would expect to feel. I felt shock,
I felt horror, and a level of heartache that I
didn't even know existed.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Because, as we've touched on, this was not somebody who
had a long term battle with something and you knew
the end was coming and you had a chance to
say you're goodbyes. This was a person that was in
the prime of his life, with a beautiful wife, a
young family, a career, and a life purpose that was
just in a different world to the point where South

(38:41):
Park and he was proud of the fact that South
Park made fun of him. He even turned his Eric
cartman in the cartoon into his like his cover for
his all of his stuff, his TikTok, his cover picture
and everything. He actually loved that and he didn't shy
away from it, and he thought, wow, you know, this
kind of kind of made it. The interesting thing was

(39:01):
last week, you know, Turning Point actually wrote Paramount plus
and said, hey, I know you guys have pulled that down,
can you put it back up again. Charlie was proud
of it. Charlie loved the fact that you guys made
fun of him. And if there's any way you guys
can restore the episode. He would have appreciated that. I

(39:24):
thought awesome, just incredible, right there.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Charlie died with incomplete work, but not with unfinished business.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
And that was powerful. And as we've touched on Friday,
she is no slout. She's not just some pretty girl
that married a dude. She was if you look on paper,
just paper, not what he did with turning point, all
that kind of stuff. Just if you're just she masters
in this and Jurish doctor says all of these things.

(40:04):
She is prepared to take this thing and run with it.
And I think there's no better person to pick for
it in his memory. But it was this moment in
time that truly showed the power of God, the power
of forgiveness, the power of so much when it came
to who Charlie was. In the memory of Charlie and

(40:24):
how they live their life out loud with their relationship.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
I care forgive them for they not know what they do.

Speaker 5 (40:36):
That man, that young man, I forgive him.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
It gets no more genuine and real than that. And
to me, I just that That's all I wanted to see,
was that portion of her not knowing what she was
going to say. But the rawness and doing it in
front of thousands. And that's another thing that we need

(41:13):
to talk about. If you are the Democrats right now,
what are you doing? All right? What are you doing?
You have nothing that compares to this, You have nothing
that compares to the amount of power that one group
has like this, where there was a focal point, a

(41:37):
leader as you battle to find out why you can't
resonate with men, Well, it's simple because you guys live
in a world of no common sense. Whatever, whatever it is,
doesn't matter what it is, You're going to pick the
wrong choice time and time again. And it's it's it
amazes me, but even MSNBC recognized, Yeah, I thinks pretty
well for a moment.

Speaker 19 (41:57):
Honestly, I'll take away from tonight is watching the weight
of a woman and mother lose her husband. Most people
cannot say they've experienced losing a spouse at this young
of an age, And I don't know who we are
to suggest how somebody should respond in real time. One
week after her husband's passing, she went in front of

(42:18):
a crowd of forty to fifty thousand people, people watching
all over the world, and she delivered remarks in which
she forgave the assassin that shot her husband. I thought
it was just remarkable, a remarkable moment because in so
many ways, where America stands in twenty twenty five is
how do we respond going forward? And the woman that
just lost her husband stood there in front of the

(42:40):
world and said, I forgive, and because her Christian faith
teaches her to love your enemy and not hate your enemy,
and to love those that persecute you. And I think
what was studying about the tension that exists here in
twenty twenty five was to listen to Erica Kirk, a
big supporter of the president, be followed teen twenty minutes

(43:01):
later by the President of the United States, clearly somebody
who she loves, but come out and directly say I
disagree with Charlie Kirk, and I disagree with you, Erica,
and say I hate my opponents. And I think that
says a lot about where we are and the questions
about where we go moving forward, the Erica Kirk route

(43:21):
or the Donald Trump route.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
And he meant it tongue in cheek, and I'm not
going to sit here and defend the president because it's
a waste of time, you know, he joked about the
fact that you know, Charlie loved everybody and one of
the best for everybody, people who you know as far
as hate when he goes not me. I'm not that
kind of person, and we need to work on that, Erica,
and I'll play it for you later. But it is

(43:45):
you're running, you're making more out of it. He was
trying to be tongue in cheek. I'm not saying he
likes his opponents. I'm not saying any of that. I'm
just pointing out you maybe reading in a little bit
too too much into that. Like I said, I wasn't
there for the politics. I don't want to watch any
of that. I wanted to I waited until she got
on before I turned on any of it. I'd been
getting stuff throughout the day, messages and pictures and whatnot.

(44:06):
I wanted to see what this was about when it
comes to her. Everybody else it was politics, and yes,
the politics of Charlie and how much they'd liked them
in their relationship, but still I wanted to see what
the genuine love was. That was somebody that was there,

(44:27):
not as a person who was part of turning point
or part of the establishment in the Trump administration or
MAGA with somebody who was there, because they would have
been there if there was nobody else had showed up.
That made sense three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty
four to twenty three. ACTU had bened show sher acts

(44:50):
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Meanwhile, the bizarre world
of silencing potential critic continues. This time if President.

Speaker 20 (45:02):
Has said press coverage that is critical of his administration
should be illegal, it comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
has now unveiled new restrictions for press at the Pentagon,
forcing reporters to either pledge that they will not gather
or use any information that has not been formally authorized
for release or risk losing their credential to cover the military.

(45:23):
This move is unprecedented, the National Press Club calling the
policy a direct assault on independent journals.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
How do you look at it any other way? So
the threats failed or whatever you want to call them,
you can't pretend they're not even Ted Kruz. Even Ted
Kruz came out and said, Hey, it's maybe a bridge
too far for even me. And that's Ted Cruz. When
it comes to the FCC and Friday Night mar talked
about you guys, remember this mar was suspended on ABC.

Speaker 18 (45:52):
It was twenty four years to the day that I
made comments on ABC. The Gotten Me canceled from that
network and Jimmy Kimmel took my slot.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Did you know that? And politically incorrect?

Speaker 18 (46:05):
Oh yes, I got canceled before cancel even had a culture.
So the headline, yeah, this is on my wall from
the Variety White House keeps heat on.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
ABC's more new.

Speaker 18 (46:25):
It's worse. We'll get to that. But you know ABC,
they are steady. ABC stands will always be caving. So Jimmy,
Jimmy Powell, I am with you. I support you, And
on the bright side, you don't have to pretend anymore
that you like Disneyland.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
That was always a.

Speaker 18 (46:46):
Great part of it for me when I got my ass.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Cand over there.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
So twenty four years to day, and if you guys
don't remember what he said, it was just after nine
to eleven, I think it was eleven days after nine
to eleven, and he said, you got to hand it
to the the hijackers. They showed some courage and then
obviously what took place, people freaked out in a way.
He went so very interesting and ABC, I think wants

(47:17):
to bring him back. I think ABC even if they,
I mean, everybody's like they're losing money. It's here's the thing.
All of those things may be true, but the way
the FCC went about it, the way the FCC came
after everybody at Disney and ABC is not the same
thing as they're losing money. That didn't happen with Colbert.

(47:41):
Colbert was just out in the open how much money
they had lost. With Jimmy, it wasn't the same. And
the fact that he's also targeting you know, Jimmy Fallon
and Seth Myers already, let's go after them next. And
the view it shows you that there is some serious
issues out there that this president is not I'm a
fan of, and very uncomfortable to say the least, and

(48:04):
wants them quieted. And I'm not a fan of that.
Let me know what you think. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three atch you had Benson, shows,
your ex, your Insta, all that other stuff. I'm working out.
I got a tournament coming up in a couple months,

Jad Benson Show, Jad Benson. TikTok, TikTok, tickety TikTok talk talk.

(49:51):
Will there be a TikTok here in America? You know
there will be. It's not going anywhere. It's not I
want to point this out to you guys. It's not
something that makes the youth happy if TikTok goes away.
And as we have seen, it's very important to make
the youth happy, and TikTok's one of those things that
makes them happy. So they continue to kick the can

(50:11):
down the road to try to get some sort of
deal between Byte Dance and a bunch of other billionaires
and Ka trillionaires, because that's what you need. This is
ain't a free thing, and looks like Larry Ellison and
a bunch of other groups are going to come together
and buy this thing. It's odd though, because I'm not
sure that bike Dance is ready to sell. And one

(50:32):
of the big things is and I want everybody to
understand this when it comes to TikTok, and this is
really important. The reality is that this algorithm that they
have built, they hold it in high regard it as

(50:53):
a very closely guarded military secret. This is not something
that they just built throughout there. There was a reason
they did it this way. So to think that they're
just going to hand it over, I find that to
be fascinating.

Speaker 21 (51:05):
The President today telling Fox News a group of tech
and media giants, including Larry Allison and Lachlan Murdoch will
be involved in taking over TikTok's algorithm. It comes as
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told Fox News that a deal
between the US and China will include Americans holding six
of the seven seats on a new board overseeing TikTok's
US operation.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
And this was something that one of those big bipartisan
things they all got to they can't do this. This
is going to be horrible. TikTok's awful. It's evil. Remember
that everybody got together and like, yeah it is, and
here we are. I mean this was national security because
a lot of people put it on their phones. We
know that China spice on everything. If you got a TV,
it's probably looking at you right now. If anything was

(51:48):
made there, it's probably looking at you right now.

Speaker 21 (51:49):
Congress slighted security concerns last year when it passed a
bipartisan law to ban the app unless TikTok's Chinese own
parent company, byt Dance, relinquishes control, but has long insisted
they will maintain control of the algorithm, and the company
hasn't weighed in on the administration's latest claims.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
And that's is Trump trying to speak stuff into existence,
because if you don't get the algorithm, it means nothing.
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show is your extra insta right
here on the Chad Benson Show. The algorithm is the

(52:30):
important part. So without it, you're just buying a shell
of a company, and we're going to see what happens.
I feel like there's I feel like China and Byte
Dance are speaking something different than America. Let me know
what you think I do. I feel like that we're
saying something and Bye Dancers, like we're not even close
to that? Are you? What are you talking about? And

(52:52):
they're not gonna let it go. I just don't think
they're gonna let it go the algorithm. I don't know
how they could if it's that important that they have
it as a closely guarded secret. Speaking of a secret,
what's going on with immigration? Because so it's one hundred grand? Now,
how does this work for the H one B visas?
So it's a hundred who's paying the one hundred thousand?

Speaker 22 (53:13):
President Trump signed an executive order Friday imposing a one
hundred thousand dollars fee on H one B visas, which
some people have been rushing to fly back to the US.

Speaker 23 (53:23):
Microsoft and Amazon and other companies communicating with their workers
outside the United States come back.

Speaker 22 (53:28):
Those visas bring high skilled tech workers like scientists, engineers,
and architects to the US. The White House says the
fee will not affect current H one B visa holders.
Some believe the new fee will disrupt the tech industry
in the Bay Area in San Francisco. Suzanne fon AB's News.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Yeah, I think it's going to disrupt a lot. So
one hundred thousand bucks that the company has to pay
to get the visa so they can have a person
here when companies are already struggling to find workers in
certain tech areas. We'll see awlong this last, We'll see
along the tech bros allowed us to last three two, three, five, three, eight,

(54:06):
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your Acts,
your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and more. If umisity show,
make sure you have the podcast. This is the Chad
Benson Show.

Speaker 10 (54:17):
Son, Chad Benson, Joe.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Has Trump, RFK Jr. The doctors that he has surrounded
himself with. Have they found out what causes autism? And
do they have a fix for it? They, being Trump
and RFK Junior, believe that they have found what causes autism,

(55:08):
or at least the potential for what causes autism.

Speaker 23 (55:13):
We can't let people keep doing this. It's I don't
want to wait any longer. We don't need anything more.
And if it's wrong, it's right, it's not going to
be wrong. But if it is wrong, it's fine that
we have to do it because we're going to have
an announcement on autism on Monday.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
So what could it be? Drum roll, please wait what?

Speaker 9 (55:43):
The Washington Post reports the administration is planning to link
autism to the use of tail and all in pregnancy,
and is expected to claim that the FDA approved cancer
drug luca vorn is a possible treatment for autism, both
claims raising concern among many doctors. No studies have proven
that use of tail and all, known as the seat

(56:05):
of minifin, by pregnant women is a cause for autism.
Some limited evidence suggests it's associated with higher rates of
neurological issues, but those studies have been mixed.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Interesting Do I think it's that I don't know. I
will tell you, having spent years around, I mean, I've
got my oldest is autistic. My little brothers, two of

(56:41):
them are autistic, among other things. The spectrum is wider.
They're all high functioning. But like my eldest, my daughter
she is very you can tell. I mean, she's very verbal,
and she's got all the creative stuff. But there's no
doubt when you talk to her, there's something you know,

(57:02):
you understand that. And when I coached my little brother
in his soccer league, Spencer, whose special needs, there was
serious issues with autism. Especially one of the things I noticed,
and this was you know, years ago, I'd say, man,
all these parents are older. They're not old, but they're
old er. And that was one thing I noticed in

(57:24):
a major way. And the kids that I coached were
many of them were completely nonverbal. Some of them were
brilliant in their arts and stuff like that, but many
of them were completely nonverbal. So could this be it? Maybe?
Would it be great to figure it out? Hell? Yeah?

(57:46):
Why are rates through the roof? Part of that is
the fact that we've expanded the spectrum and now everybody
has some sort of neurodivergent thing. And we've gone from
you know where it was a much more narrow focus
to something much greater when it comes to because we've
understand a lot more, there's no doubt about that. What

(58:08):
does Thailand All think of it? That's a good question.

Speaker 9 (58:12):
The maker of Thailand All saying we will leave independent
sound science clearly shows that taking a seat of minifin
does not cause autism. We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise.
Scientists who've been studying autism for decades warned the administration's
timeline examining this has been too short to come up
with a single cause. Doctors and autism researchers point of

(58:35):
figure showing rates of thailand all use during pregnancy have
declined in recent years, even as rates of autism have increased.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
It's a it's a hard thing.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
When I like I said, you know, my little sister,
A lot of what took place, you could tell there's drugs.
There was a lot of stuff that went on with
these my younger ones in particular, there my nieces and
my nephews. My mother's adopted them, so the there was
a lot that went into it because of her that

(59:11):
had nothing to do with Tylan.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
All.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Again, this is such a tough thing because so many parents,
I tell, everybody's looking for the why why did this happen?
How did this?

Speaker 24 (59:28):
Was it me?

Speaker 2 (59:29):
That was a big thing? Was it me?

Speaker 6 (59:33):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (59:34):
What was a me thing? Was it a genetic thing?
Was it? There was a couple I used to coach
their kids again special needs, and their kids had a
form of autism with some other things, but the doctors
had said that after the second one it was a

(59:57):
genetic thing. The husband and wife, their genetics together have
caused a lot of this. So it was again, you're
you're looking for something, and it's hard because you look
over at your kid and and if you live with
somebody who's got autism or who you're this is this
is the rest of your life. I mean, yeah, there's

(01:00:19):
some high functioning ones that get out there, but a
lot of times this is going to be a lot
of your life. Like my eldest should be very independent
to a certain extent, but we're under no illusion that
you know that she's just gonna go off to college
and do her thing and you know, come back every
once in a while for Thanksgiving and Christmas. No, we
we understand that this is what it's going to be.

(01:00:42):
Same thing with my mom. The we've talked about it
for years about with with the house and everything is
she's getting older and stuff, and and one of the
things she's always says is we have to we're going
to always keep the house because we have to have
a place for all these kids who are going to
you for the most part, need a place always. So

(01:01:05):
they people are grasping. They want to know. But it
is a forever thing, and it'd be great to find
out that there's some magical sure out there and something's
going to fix it. But I just I don't know.
I mean, I would love to think. So let me
know what you think. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at you hadventon show. It
is your ex your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and more.

(01:01:29):
The cost of the American Dream Are you kids ready
for it? Five million dollars? Five million dollars, that's what
people are saying. The cost of the American dreamers. That's expensive.

(01:01:51):
That is super expensive. That's not like a well, you know,
it's it's up from one point two to get everything,
including a retirement up to the you know, the cost
of the American DREAMAI is five million dollars according to
the latest breakdown, which is insane. So the way they
look at it, So they talked to a bunch of

(01:02:12):
financial journalists, talk to a bunch of adults that they
work with, subscribers, things of that nature, and this is
what they say. These are the eight aspirations having a wedding, which,
by the way, I read another article the other day
that said being married now is almost a privilege. Well,
it depends on who you ask. But there's this like

(01:02:35):
this is one of those things like, oh, you can
afford to get married, caring for pets, going on vacations,
owning a new car, raising a family, owning a home,
affordable quality healthcare, and retiring and comfort. These are the
eight things that people think about the most, and out
of that they broke it down. Wedding thirty eight thousand, pets,

(01:02:55):
forty thousand, vacations this is throughout lifetime one hundred and
eighty thousand, healthcare four teen thousand. This is what they're
breaking down through a lifetime, raising two children almost nine
hundred thousand, owning a new car over a lifetime nine
hundred thousand, owning a home a million, retirement one point
six million, adds up to over five million dollars. Five
million dollars is what the American dream now costs. Let

Speaker 25 (01:04:43):
Chad Benson Show, Deep States, No Deep doo doo eah
the Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
You and I both know that nature can do a
lot of things to you. Nature being one of those
things that can mess you up. And it can and
it does, and sometimes even when it's not nature the
way we think it is, because you're in a preserve,
or maybe you're in a situation where you are in
a zoo like setting and you're trying to show the

(01:05:20):
people the amazing things about nature of which you love.
But still nature, as Jeff Goldbloom would say, uh will
find a way.

Speaker 26 (01:05:35):
This morning, the family of tiger handler Ryane Easily is
in mourning after he was mauled to death at his
tiger preserve in Oklahoma.

Speaker 27 (01:05:43):
Oh no, we're not gonna be romping.

Speaker 26 (01:05:46):
Sources say Easily was performing a tiger demonstration, using fingerpaint
to make Paul prints on canvases that are handed out
to the audience. He had raised the tiger since it
was a cub, but during the demonstration, the animal turned
on him. Authorities say he died almost instantly. The Growler
Pines tiger preserved, which Easily ran with his family, saying
he dedicated his life to the protection care of these

(01:06:08):
magnificent animals, and he believed deeply in the mission of
Growler Pines to provide a safe and forever enriching home
for the animals under his care. This tragedy is a
painful reminder of both the beauty and unpredictability of the
natural world.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Yeah, think about that for a second. Almost instantly, the
tiger turned and hammered him. I have to know, these
things are wild animals. No matter how much you raise them,
no matter how much you do to train them. They're
wild animals, and they will at any moment do something,

(01:06:46):
even if it is not something as aggressive as you
would see, just due to the fact that they are
so big, so powerful, so strong. They can mess you
up and in some cases kill you, which then gets
peedem out at you, which is they're always mad at
somebody for something always. You figured they'd be happy because

(01:07:06):
nature won this time.

Speaker 26 (01:07:07):
But People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals criticizing Easily,
calling his business a roadside zoom, accusing him of abusing tigers,
claiming he was caught whipping one animal dozens of times.
Peter says Easily acquired animals from infamous tiger handler Joe Exotic,
known as the Tiger King. Exonic is currently serving prison
time for murder for higher plot and animal abuse. Exotic

(01:07:29):
responding saying Ryan built a huge compound to keep his
tigers in on the backside of my zoo. PETA doesn't
know crap. The Preserve's website says the business provides a
safe and comfortable life for tigers and has passed thirty
two surprise inspections without an issue. Easily is survived by
his wife and daughter. A fundraising sight set up for
them has already raised more than fifteen thousand dollars. It's

(01:07:50):
not clear what happens to the tiger involved. The preserve
has canceled all upcoming tours.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Well, I don't know what you think should happen to
the tiger. I mean, it's there and you're not going
to use anize it. But will it probably go somewhere
else and maybe they decide to. I don't know. It's
just it's a reminder for all the exotic things we
see out there and the stuff that's available, it's still
an animal. They can do whatever the hell it wants,
whenever the hell it wants, and you can't stop it

(01:08:18):
even if you raise it. Now, are there some things
you know we've always talked about it. Are there some
animals you can get that are would be considered exotic
that you can raise as a pet and they'll be fine. Yes,
there are some out there, but Tiger's not one of them.
It's not. It's just sometimes you got to think to yourself,

(01:08:38):
that's a big ass animal. Speaking of big ass animals.

Speaker 24 (01:08:43):
This morning, it's Survival of the Fattest at Alaska's Catmi
National Park. The Hemith brown bears packing on the pounds
ahead of hibernation season, and now they're battling it out
for the title of Brownie is ruined in the popular
online contest known as fat Bear.

Speaker 28 (01:08:59):
We I have been waiting all year for this I'm
watching these babies clump up.

Speaker 24 (01:09:06):
Last year, more than a million votes were cast from
one hundred countries, and for more than a decade, millions
of die hard fans, including school classrooms, have been tuning
into the live cams. A catmis Brooks falls.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
Fat Bear Week is the greatest thing that's ever happened
to the Internet.

Speaker 24 (01:09:21):
Watching the parks, twenty two hundred bears feasting on salmon
and doubling in wait, some males topping the scales at
fifteen hundred pounds as they prepare for winter.

Speaker 29 (01:09:32):
Fat Bear is a healthy bear.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
Fat Bear Week. This is awesome. Yeys, I know what
Fat Bear Week. It's so cool. Where you see these bears,
they show them kind of what they used to look like,
and with what they look like is they get ready
to go into hibernation. They're pigging out, they're gorging themselves
because they're going to be sleeping for a bit.

Speaker 24 (01:09:50):
They're park Ranger Sarah Bruce says, thanks to extraordinary salmon
numbers this year, the bears could be more rotund than ever.

Speaker 28 (01:09:57):
Bear eating as much as they can right now. They're
in a state call hyperfasia, which means that some of
their hormones telling them that they're full turns off, so
they don't feel full at all.

Speaker 29 (01:10:07):
They just keep eating and eating and eating.

Speaker 24 (01:10:09):
From bears in Alaska to these lovebirds in California to
the spring moose migration in Sweden, nature cams have become
a hot ticket online and with the big bracket reveal
later today, twelve bears now facing off for Fat Bear Week.
Many fans already rooting for the return of reigning two
time champ one twenty eight, known as Grazer, who became

(01:10:30):
the first mama bear to win, tipping the scales at
an estimated eight hundred pounds and big appetite seemed to
run in the family. Her cub one twenty eight Junior
just one fat Bear Junior, earning her a.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
Spot in the main event.

Speaker 24 (01:10:45):
Another likely contender, Bear thirty two, aka Chunk, who returned
to Brooks River this spring with a serious jaw injury.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Uh oh, Chunk. They call him Chunk for a reason
because he's chunky. But it's amazing look at nature.

Speaker 29 (01:11:00):
Bears are typically solitary creatures.

Speaker 24 (01:11:02):
But Bruce says, with so much food to go around,
there's been an unexpected change.

Speaker 28 (01:11:07):
We don't usually see these older dominant male bears playing,
but we saw them playing together quite a bit because
they were just so well.

Speaker 24 (01:11:17):
Fed, serving up steep competition for who will reign supremely stout?

Speaker 26 (01:11:23):
Okay, how do we cast our votes?

Speaker 24 (01:11:25):
Okay, So they reveal the bracket later today you go
to explore dot org. It is a single elimination tournament style.
There are daily matches and so the voting will go
through September thirtieth, when the ultimate champion is revealed. Park
rangers say that this is about exposing people to a
different region of the country and also improving people's appreciation
for the animals.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
I'm excited for Fat Bear Week. It's going to be cool.
I will be giving you my breakdown tomorrow of who
I believe is going to be the champion of champions
when it comes to ginormous fat bears. Because there is
a plenty of them reach out to us across all

we're gonna try to go live tonight, so if you

(01:12:48):
have a chance, check us out right around seven o'clock Eastern.
We love hearing from each and every one of you.
Our number three of the program, straight ahead, This is
the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 17 (01:13:00):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show Moving.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
I think it's the best way to describe this weekend.
Politics was involved, There's no doubt in Charlie Kirk's memorial,
but it was his wife who I think knocked it
out the park. And I'm not saying that. Don Junior

(01:13:56):
and a lot of these people that were up there
talking about Susiles, who is very normally kind of like
the Iron Lady. She is Trump's really the voice in
Trump's had at times that can you know, maybe of
all the people that can get a handle on him,
is his chief of staff and is her. But she
let her guard down. That's not her normal thing. But

(01:14:19):
there was no doubt that it was Erica who really
laid bare her soul, the pain, the agony of all
that she was going through. And it was a moment
that was touching and vulnerable. And you watch it and

(01:14:48):
if you have no feelings over somebody who lost their husband,
their best friend, father of their children, I don't know
what kind of person you are. I really don't.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
I felt everything you would expect to feel. I felt shock,
I felt horror and a level of heartache that I
didn't even know existed.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
How could you? You know, one of the things we've
talked about throughout the day, this was not a you
saw this coming, This was not that. This was not
something where this was somebody who was sick and dying.
This was a young man in the prime of his life.

(01:15:40):
Take away the politics of it all, husband, a father,
my best friend, and one minute, literally one minute he's
there and the next minute. You're never going to talk
to him again, you're never going to see him again,
you're never going to hold him again, you're never going
to to kiss him again. You're never going to laugh
for them or crying, and it's over. It's a numbing feeling,

(01:16:07):
like you couldn't believe it is.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
Charlie died with incomplete work, but not with unfinished business.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
That was amazing, she said there because she's going to
take everything off the plate from a lot of people
who are jocking for it, wanted to help and stuff.
She's going to make it her mission to grow, to
continue forward all of this. But it was this this
moment here, that was the moment. Like I said, I

(01:16:49):
only watched her, don't really watch any of the other stuff.
I got glimpses of it, but I just I wanted
to see what it was like when she spoke, because
my fear was it's going to become way too political,
and it really wasn't awfully political, but still the human

(01:17:10):
side of it, which is what she delivered, and aside
where she lives her faith out loud, like Charlie did,
you don't have to agree with him, you don't have
to like him. It's not about any of that, just
for her to stand up there in front of the world,
hundreds of thousands of people that were in the State
Farm Stadium, which is where the Cardinals play sixty seventy thousand,

(01:17:32):
and then across the street Glendale, which is where the
Phoenix Tatters used to play in Glendale Arena, and then
you've got a parking lot full of people, and for
her to say this again living out loud.

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
Father, forgive them for they not know what they do.

Speaker 5 (01:17:53):
That man, that young man, I forgive him, And.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
The cheers went on to do that, to say, I
forgive you to a person who decided that they were
going to kill him based on his beliefs, based on
his politics, based on his his his take on the
world which he was trying to make better, and watching

(01:18:32):
people bend over backwards to say, well, he said this,
and he said that, and he said it is it's
frustrating as hell, because yeah, I mean, were there are
things that he said that were I guess in theory,
very spicy. Maybe, I mean compared to who I mean

(01:18:55):
we're going to comparing to everybody else, there's nothing he
didn't have so many hot takes a few of them,
but it was he was evil, he was bad, he
was old, he was none of those things. Dude wanted
to have a conversation, Dude did I was watching something
this weekend had too many f bombs in this, that
and the other. Not from him, but from some of

(01:19:16):
the other people of him debating. You know, this is
not the guy even he was talking to, but the
other people around him talking about God and talking about
if you're really all of the things you say you are,
then you will damn these people who are gay, and
you will damn these people who are trans. You will

(01:19:37):
damn these people because that's not And he's like, not
going to do that. I pray for them, I don't
hate them. Why would I, And for you to say that,
essentially it's ridiculous and and I won't I won't be
a party of that. I'm not going to be a
party to that. And he went on to tell, you know,
essentially explained to the guy. And again there's lots of

(01:19:58):
hooping and hollering because it was it was someone in
the earlier phase where he was taken off big time
when it came to the all of his events. But
they wanted him to go so hard to condemn these
people talk about their going to hell, and he's like,
I'm not going to do that because God loves them,

(01:20:20):
and that means I love. We just have a different
agreement on certain things and a different outlook on things.
And I thought that was brilliant. A lot of people
out there looking for this or that moment here, that
moment there, and it was again, keep looking because you're
going to want to do that because you've got to
make your your your your side field. This isn't a

(01:20:43):
side thing. This is a human thing. And we failed.
And the way that we've acted and the way that
we've gone after each other on this is just been ridiculous.
It has been three two, three, five, twenty four to
twenty three at you had Benson show, is your act,
your instant, your YouTube? We pivot from there to continuing

(01:21:04):
to fight, among other things this time mask you mean
like for Halloween and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
No.

Speaker 30 (01:21:15):
In most immigration raids in recent months, federal agents have
covered their faces and shielded their identities. Federal agencies say
it's necessary to protect the agents, but now California will
require most police, including federal immigration agents, to show their faces.
Governor Gavenuwsom signing a bill prohibiting neck gators, scheme masks,
and other facial coverings for most police first.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
In the nation, saying enough ice unmasked, what are you
afraid of?

Speaker 30 (01:21:41):
It remains unclear if California can enforce a face covering
ban for federal agents in the state, and if federal
agents break the law, how it would be enforced.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
I don't even know how you would enforce that. First
of all, you have no say in it, and it's
not a federal thing. But this is the battle of
immigration that is always just so ridiculous. And I will
say this, the amount of people that were docksed, and
that's where you expose who they are, Capture their face,
the whole nine yards. Put it out there. At a

(01:22:12):
time when we have what we just saw with Charlie
Kirk and many other things, you can't be too careful
because we have people out there who are so angry
and so driven by division, who are willing to make
a point by doing something heinous. No, I don't think.
I don't. I just first of all, I find this asinine,

(01:22:34):
it's stupid, And secondly, you're just you're not going to
win this you're not, and the and the thought that
you know, you're comparing it to North Korea and this,
that and the other swat. Many of our our counter
criminal forces, whatever they've got, you know, drug dea and

(01:22:56):
all the they've always used masks in some point in time.
I have zero problems with this. Now, should you have
your badge out, should you have to show people who
you are all that can identify yourself, Yes, but the
thought process that you know, no, you can't wear a
mask really, because I remember the Summer of Love, everybody
wore a mask and nobody seemed to care. Everybody wore

(01:23:19):
stuff and it was okay. But it's just another pissing
contest in a world where people really aren't serious about
getting something done when it comes to immigration, which is
going to continue to be a bigger and bigger fight
here in the coming weeks and months, and we should
be frustrated with it. But I laugh at this because
this is a man who is running for president of

(01:23:40):
the United States, who is going to push over and
over again as hard as he can, ignoring California and
what it's going through at this point in time. He
doesn't care. He's on to something else. He's a short timer.
He's that kid that knows he's graduated, but he still
has three weeks left because he's taken all of his
tests and he's got way, he's got all of the

(01:24:01):
credits he needs, and now he's just sitting around going,
I don't know, I'm gonna come to school today. That's
Gavin Newsom in a nutshell three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three Atch Had Benson shows your
Extra Insta, YouTube, Facebook and more. But coming out Della,

(01:24:22):
what's trending? And uh more on the event with Charlie Kirk.
But also how do the Democrats deal with this, because
there's some serious questions on the political side that they
need to ask themselves an answer to talk about that

(01:24:43):
as well. But first, Board Capital, let me just talk

Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending?

Speaker 31 (01:26:33):
Stein James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Serena.

Speaker 29 (01:26:52):
What trupping.

Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
Rights?

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
When I was trending on the old indwebs, start with
X X. This is a perfect example to see the
difference between something like X and Google today. So X
is very politically motivated, obviously, so you've got a ton

(01:27:18):
of stuff there, but you've also got an earthquake leading
the way in northern California, the Bay Area. But a
lot of it's just Charlie Kirk, right, Charlie Kirk Monday motivation.
Thailand All, which we've been talking about throughout the day
that the MAHA folks over there. CDC is saying the

(01:27:39):
Thailand all FDA CDC that were getting together Thailand all
may be the cause of autism. So that's what they're
looking at. Thailand all is like no, but the last
year we are Trump. Stephen Miller, Erica all Things Tulsi
trending and again we played Erica's speech throughout the day

(01:28:03):
and great speech, great touching, very real from the heart.
It was. It's great over to Google. Nothing about Charlie Kirk,
except if you go all the way down to the
bottom where they have Hillsdale College setting up a honorary

(01:28:29):
degree for Charlie Kirk. The rest of it is all football, Chiefs, Giants, Packers,
Brown Steelers, Patriots, Cardinals, forty nine Ers, Broncos, Chargers, Bengals, Vikings, Raidas, Commandas, Jets, Broncos,
and then soccer Bothanona three, two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson's show, is your

(01:28:51):
ex your Instagram, your YouTube, your Facebook and more. If
you're missing the show, we always say, shame. Money makesure
you grab that podcast because a smart thing to do, right.
It really helps us out right here in the Chad
Benson Chill. It's finally over Yahoo, Denver, Broncos, Boston Red Sox, Angelina,
Joli ap Top twenty five, Blue Jays, all things trending

(01:29:19):
in the magical world of Yahoo. So there you guys go.
And again it just it shows you that I think
everybody thinks because you watch the twenty four hour news
cycle for you're on X. If you're doing any of
these things where you you're surrounded somewhat by politics, right

(01:29:41):
or left, you're in an echo chamber because the vast
majority of the people aren't paying attention like that. They're
not They're onto something else. Right, they're watching sports all day,
they're watching you know, they're playing video games, they're they're
listening to all They're focusing on a vast amount of

(01:30:05):
things that isn't politics. And I think we often forget that.
We get caught up in this that that politics is
the only thing that's out there. And I know I
don't because I focus on all kinds of stuff. But
it is interesting to watch some of my friends in
this industry and that's kind of all they do, and
they're like, how do you talk about you know, how
do you do like one hit Wonders and all these
kind of thing, Because that's what life is, man, Go

(01:30:26):
hang out with your friends. You don't talk about politics
all day. That's crazy. Why would you do that. I
don't know why people do that. I see them do that.
I have friends that that's all they want to talk
to me about. And I'm like, man, don't you have
kids in a life? Just curious about no? This is
it okay? Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

(01:30:47):
to twenty three at chatmants shows through Extra, Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. This is the Jad Benson shown.

Speaker 1 (01:30:56):
Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
It was interesting watching everybody speak this week. And like
I said, I tuned in for Erica, not much else.
I had some friends there. They were sending me stuff
in highlights throughout the day of the memorial for Charlie
Clerk and a lot of people. You know, they got
up there and Trump was being Trump. I expect nothing less,

(01:31:43):
but we forget that many of these people, especially the
younger group inside of the administration, Don Junior and Eric
and and even Marco and Jade Evans. These were people

(01:32:04):
that were close to Charlie and we're friends friends that really,
you know, especially I think Don Junior saying, look dat,
you don't even understand how important this is. This guy.
The importance to what you're doing, to the movement, to

(01:32:24):
all of this is it cannot be ignored that he
is a huge part of this. And you could hear
it in their voice, how upset they were, and again
there was politics involved in a lot of stuff, but
there was some that was just genuine you could hear
from the heart.

Speaker 23 (01:32:41):
And so on that terrible day September tenth, twenty twenty five,
our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. He's a
motel now for American freedom.

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
Trump there talking about it, what he is, what he
means to America, the freedom as well as you know.
I mean, he would be true, did not hate his opponents.
He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed
with Charlie.

Speaker 13 (01:33:17):
I hate my opponent and I don't want the best
for them. I'm sorry, I am sorry Erica.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
And so much is being made of that today. Trump
was trying to have fun. That's who he is. We've
all know that he doesn't do well with empathy. That's
never been his jam, right, He's an entertainer, and Charli

(01:33:47):
would have laughed at a lot of people laughed at
that because he was just being Trump who Trump is,
which is basically this boisterous, loud New Yorker guy who
doesn't always have the empathy card, right, But didn't mean
there were a lot of people on the stage you know,

(01:34:07):
like the Stephen Miller stuff. I was not a fan of, uh,
but there were others who took the stage who were
in the administration that I thought.

Speaker 27 (01:34:14):
Did use eleven days ago as a cowardly assassin crawled
on his stomach to end Charlie's life on Earth. I'm
betting Charlie saw the Son of God standing tall to
welcome him home.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
And I think Don Junior did a good job. I
think jd Vance did a good job. And obviously Erica
knocked out the park with what she said. And we'll
play some of that to end the show today. But
as everybody tries to figure out, you know, the whole
thing with Charlie, Chank Huger here Young Turks, I thought
said said it best. He's been interviewed by a lot

(01:34:56):
of people. If you don't know anything about the Young Turks,
they're the diametrically pose to anything conservative. They're they're they're progressive,
they're liberal. Uh they you know, they're not as crazy
wacky as a lot of people you know, like to
think they are. But they're they're they're they're on the left.
There's no doubt about that. And Charlie and Chank got

(01:35:19):
into some great arguments, but they also became friends.

Speaker 32 (01:35:23):
Yeah, Charlie came on our show at the RNC, then
at the d n C, and we had a surprisingly
productive conversation. My whole life, when I talked to Republicans,
they would have talking points from Fox News and it
would just be like hitting a ball against the wall.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
There was no point to it.

Speaker 32 (01:35:40):
But when Charlie and I had those conversations, and my
co hosts on The Young Turksanic Exparient as well, it
was productive. There were things that we disagreed on almost
every part of the cultural war. We disagree on what
we think is the visive speech, we would argue over.
But when he came to some economic issues, the corruption
in this country, housing prices far too high, and how

(01:36:01):
we could ban private equity from buying our homes, they
were surprising, even shocking agreement. Then he invited me to
America Fest, which is the big program that he puts together.
And that's the thing with Charlie his actions, let me
put it this way, His speech was not.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
Inclusive, but his actions were. So.

Speaker 32 (01:36:22):
He would consistently ask people on the left to come
join him and give them an open forum and not
just on the things we agreed on, but also on
the things we disagreed on. And we had a personal
interaction there and including with his wife, Erica, and they
were all incredibly warm. So it's a paradox, but that
was the paradox of Charlie.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
And I think that sums up a lot of it
right there. I mean, you look at it as not
inclusive language, no, because and it's not banning language that Charlie.
Charlie had his belief. Here's my belief. My belief is this,
I'm a Christian first and foremost. And he was a

(01:37:05):
husband and a father and then you know, an American
and a Republican, whatever you want to call it. But
his foundation of his belief was based on the followings
of Christ. And it was not about exclusion. It was
about having a conversation and worrying for some of these
kids and people that they saw. He looked and said, hey,

(01:37:26):
they're taking advantage of these kids, and they're twisting their
minds and they're doing certain things to them. And it
was not that those kids were evil. And I think
this is where the Republicans lose some of this argument.
It's the people that push these kids in particular, especially
with the trans issue and a bunch of this other

(01:37:46):
stuff that is very uncomfortable and he didn't like I
don't like it either, But it was never about hate.
He said some controversial things. You know what you don't
think Chank has said some controversial things. Anybody in this industry,
if you've not said something controversial, then what are you doing.
You're a reporter at best, that best your reporter. So

(01:38:13):
part of it is it's show would show busy, and
the other part of it is you. You you know
what his true beliefs were. And I think, trust me,
there's a lot of people I know in this industry,
and I know a ton of them who say a
lot of things, who don't believe a lot of the
things they say, but they know they've got to put
extra mustard on something even though they don't buy it.

(01:38:35):
Charlie was not that way. He was not three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three act she had
Benson show is your acts, your Insta, your YouTube, Facebook
and more. You know, one of the things that's interesting
as we discuss all of this stuff is the culture
side of stuff. Is what Chank mentioned there and that's
a big deal because I could easily make an argument

(01:38:58):
that a lot of what was quote unquote one time
a democratic solid hold that they have lost, and a
vast majority of that is based on culture. It's based
on the fact that you know, they believe every person
with a wiener could be a woman. That's not true, right,

(01:39:18):
They believe in the dei to the point of ridiculousness,
and then everybody's a racist, and that they believe in
all of these things. They've lost the plot when it
comes to the culture wars, because that's really the big issue.
I mean Trump, you can go look, he won the
culture Wars, and the left bought into every crazy idea,

(01:39:43):
every wacky belief that you could think of. They chose
the wrong path on so many occasions, and still do
pick the wrong path. I'm always amazed at how bad
it is when you talk about the left, and if

(01:40:03):
you give them choices, they're gonna pick the wrong choice
over and over again, the wrong idea. That's just completely
out of tune with the average American. There are only
bad options. It's about finding the best one. You don't
have a better bad idea there is. This is the
best bad idea we have, sir By far from the

(01:40:26):
movie Argo. I think that sums up everything. This is
the best bad idea we have. They are only bad options. No,
there are good options, common sense options, and you ignore
them over and over again. He won the culture War.
That was a huge deal. The Culture War was massive,

(01:40:51):
especially on campuses, where if you had any kind of
conservative belief whatsoever, you could be in serious trouble. Don't
tell your teacher that you're gonna be bombed. You're gonna
be bombed, because they're gona come. They're gonna come and
destroy you every chance they get. If you have any
kind of idea that is conservative, don't put it on paper,
because you know what you're gonna get. And so you

(01:41:12):
kept your mouth shut. And he went to campus and
he took it to them, and the culture war was
fought in a different way where normally you couldn't have
those ideas. Well, now they were being challenged openly again
in the middle of a quad or somewhere where somebody
came from the outside and said, I'll challenge those things

(01:41:35):
so you guys don't have to. I'll do this so
you guys don't have to so you feel comfortable, and
then you can look around and see, well, there's a
lot more of us than I realize, and there's safety
in numbers, And that to me was a big deal.
The culture wars are where so much. Even the last election.

(01:42:01):
You know, we'd always joke about it. Here, right, you
hear somebody say, well, of course she has a penis,
and you're like, this is why Trump. This is why Trump. Right,
somebody's been micrograssed and fired for someone You're like, this
is why Trump. This right here is why Trump. But
it started long before Trump, and the seeds were planted.

(01:42:26):
And as long as they continue to pick the wrong
side of the culture wars, the left is going to
be screwed. I continue to ask everybody, name me somebody
who's not a politician that could move that many people
on the left and bring that many people out. Now,

(01:42:50):
the way he died absolutely had a reaction for the
public where they were more engaged and felt more of
a pole. I don't think we can argue that. I
think if this would have been a car accident or
a god you know, heart attack or something, I don't
think it would have the same kind of reaction. Because
this became an US versus them thing. But still name

(01:43:12):
me something that you would see something like that. I
don't know if you can. And an individual that is
not inside of quote unquote the Democrat Party, not a president,
a former president, some of the I mean, name something
or somebody that has that kind of pull, that kind
of movement to move parts of culture. That's a hard thing.

(01:43:35):
I don't know if you can find somebody like that.
I don't not right now in the Democrat Party. And
as long as they continue to fight these culture wars
in such a poor way, they're going to continue to
fall further and further behind. There's a reason they spend
all this money trying to figure out how you talk
to men. It's not hard. I don't know if you're
aware of this. We're not a complex creature, right, we're not.

(01:43:58):
We're a simple creature, and it's not hard to talk
to us. How you talk to us is one thing.
And don't blow smoke. The average person doesn't buy a
lot of this craziness, and they think it's divisive, and
no matter how many times they see that on paper

(01:44:19):
DEI all of these you know, gender studies, all this craziness,
and they realize that it does more harm than good.
They still continue with it. That is why they continue
to fail over and over again. Three two, three, five, eight,

Benson Show.

Speaker 17 (01:46:01):
Welcome to No Not the Country, the Institution of the
Jack Benson shown.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
As we wrap up this show today, I think it's
important to hear the widow when should think about there
for a second of Charlie Kirk Erica Kirk yesterday, I
thought did an absolutely incredible job, considering what she had
gone through just ten days earlier, losing her husband or

(01:46:31):
best friend, father of her children, to deliver something that
came from her heart, something that I think is, you know,
when everybody else talks about the political divide, this was
a human divide that took place, and she took an
unhuman way if you will, a biblical way to address something.

(01:46:53):
And I thought, just brilliant that young man.

Speaker 4 (01:47:00):
On the cross, Our Savior said, Father, forgive them, for
they not know what they do.

Speaker 5 (01:47:14):
That man, that young man, I forgive him.

Speaker 2 (01:47:49):
And I thought it was important to hear how long
people clapped and it went on and on because she
chose a different path. And I say this, you know,
whether you believe it or not, hate is not a
good place to be when you hate, when you have

(01:48:10):
a disdain, when you when you think about something so
hard and you hate it, you put so much life
into it and you feed it. And she decided that's
not what she was going to do, not good for her,
her family, the children at all. And I think that's

(01:48:33):
an amazing message, I really do. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
That's your ex your Insta, your YouTube, your Facebook and more.
We're gonna be live tonight on the old YouTube. I
hope if everything goes well. We've had some issues technically,
had to bring another computer, so hopefully tonight we'll see
on the old YouTube right here on the Chad Benson Show,

(01:48:57):
Solid fun show today as all got you through this Monday.
We had some fun, We talked about some crazy stuff,
some wacky stuff, and of course relive some of the
moments from Charlie Kirk and I think we need to
sit back and all of us take stocking in this world.
We're here together, and we got to find a way

(01:49:20):
to bring ourselves together, find what binds us. Even though
there's a lot of stuff out there that we see
things differently on doesn't mean that we should stop trying
to figure out how we can find the things that
we agree on and bring ourselves together. You guys, have
a blessed rest of your Monday. We'll do it again
tomorrow as always, Night Night Jack.
