Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Normally on today's date, we talk about what happened on
today's date, which is crazy to think twenty four years ago,
but yesterday a provocateur, political pundit, man of faith, husband

(00:36):
of father, person who championed the constitution and free speech
was killed. Many of you listening right now, you understand
that you know the news. You're listening to my show,
and chances are if you listen to talk radio, you
know what happened. And it was a tough day. It
was for a lot of reasons. First as a human

(00:57):
being to the people that knew him. I didn't know him,
met him a couple of times. Like I said yesterday,
his business is small, and you could tell by the
people that knew him, not the crazies out there who
were pissed and angry and want to make sure that
the clicks and the likes are there and that they

(01:17):
could be provocative by celebrating this. Even the people on
the left that knew him, that debated him, talked about
I didn't like his beliefs, I didn't agree with him,
but he was always really good to me. He's always
kind to me. And also how his friends reacted.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
There are news outlets reporting the worst right now, Glenn,
I don't know what I'm waiting for before I report it.
You know, I trust just the news.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
I trust desertt What.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Are we waiting for, like the AP to say it.
We don't trust them more than we trust these they're
reporting that Charlie has died, that he's dead at the
age of thirty one, which.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
He would have to be if that video.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
It is real, there's no way he survived that. The
only good thing is it had to have happened quickly.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Right right.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
If you see the video, you do not see any suffering.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
No, no, you don't. And knowing his daughters and his
wife were there yesterday, and if you've not seen the video,
I implore you do not see the video. It is
a there's a lot of them out there videos, but
there's a few that are close up and it is

(02:55):
not what you think it is. It's not the movie
stuff that you think it is. And I was telling
him my wife, thinking about it's got just turned one
and a three year old. His wife's there and to
know that the pictures that are going around the world
of your dad, your husband, your friend of the moment

(03:22):
that they lost their life. It's that to me. I mean,
I just because I've got my little one, and it
was it was tough. It was it was tough, and
you could even hear it from some of the people
that were at the event, who were closer up and

(03:43):
who saw it.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
When the first kid finished, the second one went up
to the mic and he got his first question in.
As soon as his second question came up, I just
remember hearing like a pop.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
You just hear the gunshot.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
You just see its name just.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Like open up and there's just like so much blood
that just came out.

Speaker 7 (04:08):
It was horrible.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
I've been to countless Turning Point events, ran the Turning
Point chapter at my high school. I don't believe anyone
should be persecuted for their beliefs. Everyone is entitled to
their own opinions, no matter what they are.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
I'm here because Charlie Kirk was a good Christian, He
loved Jesus.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
He won a dialogue, not.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Civil war, and I saw a lot of that last night.
We're gonna get into that a little bit later about
how angry some people are, what some people are saying,
and we got to take the temperature down. We do
we do? It was again study and how we are

(04:56):
treating each other twenty four years ago, almost to the minute,
planes started hitting buildings, and within about forty five minutes,
the whole world knew that we America the Mighty, were

(05:17):
under attack. In the subsequent hours we watched shock awe
sickness in our stomach, and in the subsequent days, after
the numbness kind of wore off, we came together. We

(05:41):
came together in a way that was something that you know,
you don't feel even back then. You know, maybe maybe
the Kuwaiti War, right Operation Desert Storm, what happened our
men and women going in there, there was a sense
of patriotism and the yellow ribbons in certain places, But

(06:06):
it was nine to eleven that brought us into a
position that I haven't felt and I still haven't felt,
And I'm not sure we would be able to recreate that.
I'm not I think with social media and with the

(06:27):
way that things are and how divide we are at
this moment in time, I think that'd be a tough thing.
I really do. I think it would be a very
tough thing for us to recreate that feeling of us
coming together, neighbors, people we don't know or talk to,
a smile, a wave the American flags. We're not right

(06:51):
or left, We're America. I don't know if we'd be
able to do that. I don't Last night Donald Trump
and I tweeted this out. This morning, gave a speech
from the Oval Office, and I do not believe in
my heart he would be president of the United States

(07:12):
if it wasn't for Charlie Kirk, not just what he
did in the election period in the run up, but
the laying the foundation with Turning Point USA for quite
a while. His way of getting to young men and women,

(07:33):
but really young men in particular, and having vigorous debates
and having conversations and through social media and energizing through
high schools and into the colleges was amazing. It was
absolutely incredible. And so I said it now and I'll

(07:54):
continue to say it without Charlie. I don't think Trump's president. Yes,
the podcast Bros. Help, Yes, all of that stuff. That
stuff was real, There's no doubt. But so much of
that came from Turning Point and Charlie and the vision
he had. So much of that did and Trump recognized that,

(08:20):
and Trump looked at him in ways that because he
was much closer with the administration than just somebody who
was a political pundit or something like that. He was,
you know, a part of the group because he was young,
and his sons are young, and the vice president young.

(08:40):
That's it was much more of a relationship than a transition,
transactional kind of relationship.

Speaker 9 (08:50):
To my great fellow Americans, I'm filled with grief and
anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie kirk or a
college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight all
who knew him and loved him are united in shock
and horror. Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life

(09:12):
to the cause of open debate and the country that
he loved so much, the United States of America. He
fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He's
a martyr for truth and freedom. And there's never been
anyone who was so respected by youth.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Absolutely true, even people that he debated and battled against
had respect for him because he didn't tear them down.
He had a conversation, he didn't purposely go out there
to embarrass them. Because you know, I've said it for

(09:52):
a long time. That's a lot of what you see
in these moment by moment things. You know, you put
a crazy person who's going to ask you an insane question,
then you destroy them because you're in your thirties or
forties or whatever it is, and you embarrass them, and
then everybody cheers, and that goes out there. That wasn't
who he was civil dialogue And yeah, he was a provocateur.

(10:16):
I'm not going to pretend that he wasn't. He said
some stuff that riled people up, sure in the hell did.
And I didn't agree with everything he said. There was
a lot of stuff I disagreed with. But the way
that the left at times has made him out in
the past and even more so over the last twenty
four hours is and I'm not talking about the people

(10:38):
that knew him debated him. I'm talking about this, this
group of quote unquote progressives who are so full of
hate and anger and to celebrate something like this is
it's awful. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four

(10:59):
to twenty three at had been to show as your

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Joe, you're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Bad timing or were they caught? If you didn't hear
TMZ yesterday, well all this is going down. If you
guys don't know, TMZ is they live stream everything in
the office what people are doing on an average moment
because it's so busy there and they were trying to
gather information. And when you work at a place like TMZ,

(13:35):
which is one of the only places in Hollywood making
money entertainment wise in this way. There's hundreds of people
that were working there, and Harvey Levin, who I believe
a lot of people out there going oh no, no, no,
they did this on purpose. Janet got that, go to.

Speaker 10 (14:04):
Have somebody look at the Fox Trump Trump just posted
that Charlie Kirk is dead.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now you hear people cheering, and you could see an
on Harvey Levin's face that he knew that Oh god,
this the look, oh this is this is not new,
no new, And you could see it generally on his
face that he knew. And I've met Harvey on several occasions,

(14:41):
and I will say I don't believe he is lying
when he said it had nothing to do with with
this timing, live stream, all these things going on, thousand
people looking at different things.

Speaker 10 (14:53):
We were live streaming all day during this this tragedy.
When something happened in our office as we were reporting
the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there were some people in
the back room away from our news desk here who

(15:13):
were watching a car chase and they were laughing, they
were clapping, and you could hear it out here. And
we want to make a couple of things clear. One
is that I know these people and they were not laughing.

(15:33):
They were not reacting that way about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
They were not They would not work here if they did.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Three two, three five, twenty four, twenty three at Chad
Benson Show, is your ex your instant YouTube, Facebook, and more?
Let me know what you think about that and everything
else ready on the Chad Benson Show. I'll be honest,
I believe him now. I'm not saying that they like
Charlie Kirk. I'm not saying any of that stuff. But
they're not dumb enough to do that in that environment.

(16:06):
So I'm going to get benefit of the doubt on
that one. And Harvey's pretty stand up guy. I'm not
saying there aren't people out there that were the worst
in their attitudes and the way they acted yesterday, because
there's plenty of them out there that want to celebrate
the death of somebody that they disagreed with. Which it's

(16:30):
a free country, and we were talking about this yesterday,
and I'll continue to reiterate that it's a free country.
It's the beauty of our country as it's free. We
have opportunities and things here because of the Constitution, something
Charlie loved, something Charlie absolutely wanted to spread the word

(16:52):
on when it came to how he felt about the
Constitution and what he thought people were missing about the
Constitution and having that amendment, that first one that says
you can say stuff that is a wonderful thing. It is.
And you know a lot of people freaking out about

(17:12):
saying horrible things because they saw somebody say something horrible
and get mad at me because I said, yeah, it's
horrible what they said. Yet they have the right to
say it. And Charlie would probably say, they have the
right to say it. Don't have to like it, can
find it vile as you should, but they have the
right to say it, like it or not. That's the Constitution.

(17:35):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three At Chad Benson Shows, Your Extra Instant, YouTube, Facebook
and more. It is The Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Show, Son, Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Twenty four years ago. At this time that some people
on the West Coast were waking up to what was
going on on the East coast. The world was watching
as our world changed tremendously.

Speaker 11 (18:28):
We're back at nine o'clock Eastern time on this Tuesday morning,
and we're back with dramatic pictures of an accident that
has happened just a short time ago. You're looking at
the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, where just a
few minutes ago we're told that a plane, some reports
are that it was a small commuter plane, crashed into
the upper floors of one of the twin towers. You

(18:49):
can see fire and flames or smoke billowing from that tower.
There is a gaping hole on the north side of
the building, that's the side you're seeing to the left
hand side of your screen right now, and other damage
to the west side of that building, which is to
the right side of your screen. This, of course, happened
just before the morning commute, before people were heading into
their offices, and while I'm sure some people were already

(19:12):
at work immediately, there's speculation or cause for concern. This
is the World Trade Center that was the center of
a terrorist bombing some years ago, So the questions have
to be asked, was this purely an accident or could
this have been an intentional act? But either way, extensive
damage has been done to this building.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
So that's how Good Morning America, CBS and the Today
they said, they all you know, see an N and everything.
Because originally the thought was this was a small plane
that hit. You know, this wasn't the time of And
I want to remind everybody. I think we forget because
we've had phones and access for so long. This wasn't

(19:52):
cell phones everywhere, cameras everywhere, even if they're not on
their cell phones. This was not the time where we
had immediate access on our devices to anything and everything
that fast. And so people are watching this kind of

(20:16):
on their TV. They're getting their kids ready for school,
right they're having their cup of coffee. My buddy we
had at the time a brokerage firm, uh and it
was my buddy Lars and myself and Wavy, Davy and Chris,
so we were all partners. And Davy rolls in English

(20:42):
guy and he says, something's hit or the towers. We're
like what He goes, yeah, you know, something' hitting one
of the towers. A plane you know, just got because
we didn't nobody knew there wasn't there wasn't flashing all
the computers. And I remember I had to place, a
trade coffee, sugar cocoa exchange was in the towers. It

(21:05):
is in one of the bottom floors, and so we
called and we were talking to our floor wrap and
it was in the other towers. Yes, they're saying it's
a small plane that hit or something. They weren't quite sure.
And then within a few minutes the world watched and
everybody was sure that.

Speaker 12 (21:27):
I've never seen any It looks like a movie. I
saw a large plane, like a jet, so immediately headed
directly into the World Trade Center. It just blew into it,
into the into the other tower. Coming from south to
north to watch the plane fly into the World Trade Center.
It was a jet. It was a very large plane.
It was sewing faust passed the reco how the steams built,

(21:48):
and that retarget went from right hand and almost hit
it and then went in.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
This is so shocking, of course, to everybody watching.

Speaker 12 (21:56):
I've never seen anything like it. It literally what else
into World Trade Center.

Speaker 11 (22:02):
Obviously, now we moved from what appears to them there
it is.

Speaker 12 (22:05):
Right there again, I'm looking from south to north, and
it went into took the one on the right that.

Speaker 11 (22:12):
Appeared to be at least a seven twenty seven. We
saw a second ago. Here here comes the videotape that
we just showed you. You will see what appears to
be a large plane. It could be a seven to
twenty seven right there, maybe even bigger, flying right into
the side of the World Trade Center.

Speaker 12 (22:28):
It was at least at seven twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
It was a seven thirty seven. And what that flight
was that she was talking about was United flight one
seventy five. That one left from Boston, had sixty five
people on board, that departed at eight fourteen, fifteen minutes
after American Airlines Flight eleven also left from Boston. That
one's going to Los Angeles had ninety two people on board,

(22:50):
that left at seven fifty nine. It impacted the Trade
Center at eight forty six, and flight one seventy five
at nine oh three. And I remember we had a
couple buddies that said before the the impact, the second
one that that we traded we so we traded their

(23:15):
accounts and they said, we're being called up. Something's going down.
H think we're under attack. So and this is one
of my buddy's clients, and so we didn't. I mean,
this is back in the day. We have our little office.
We don't even have a TV. We'll have been there,
you know, month or so and our buddy and his

(23:37):
wife because it's a condo building, so we've got the
downstairs floor that's up that's like a little apartment that
we've turned into a a an office, and upstairs our
buddy and his wife lived there. So we run upstairs
and we wake them up. And he's kind of a musician,

(23:58):
he used to be a broker, and and we wake
him up and we jump in his bed with him
and his wife, all of us sitting there and there,
and he's like, what do you guys doing. We turn
on the TV like we're under attack, and within seconds
the second one hit and it was a gut punch,
it was. And that whole day.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
Or two.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Afterwards, you know, because we found out, of course about
what happened in DC and then the collapsing of the
towers and then the flight in Pennsylvania, it was a numbness.
And then there was a coming together. And over the
last twenty four hours or so, I've been thinking can
we come together again? I mean, could we I mean

(24:44):
is it possible? Because in today's fractured world, in today's world,
that is built on algorithms and anger. I'm not sure
we could. I'm not and I don't want to discount distrust.

(25:08):
Something horrific happened today, even yesterday with Charlie Kirk. You've
already heard all the conspiracy theories that are out there,
and there's plenty of them. But even with that, if
we had an attack like nine to eleven today, I
think you'd get a lot of people cheering. I think

(25:31):
you get a lot of people that would be out
there saying we got what we deserved. And oddly enough,
I think you'd find people that politically would be on
the opposite sides in most things, but would stand up
as some would celebrate because they would look at as
the demise of the West or capitalism. And then people

(25:55):
that are conservative would say, now it's an inside job
and we I've meddled too much in other places and
we got what we deserve. I just don't know if
we could. And I mean even now, I mean the
you know, Tucker's got a brand new thing about nine
to eleven, and you know what happened to Building seven
and all of these things. It's you do think you

(26:20):
know the conspiracy theories of something like that came out.
My god, what that look like in today's world? I
couldn't even tell you. I mean, but the way we
felt afterwards, just a country that we're united in, this

(26:46):
can't happen. A country that was united in that. We're Americans,
and we got attacked, we got hit, and now we're
going to hit somebody back. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four, twenty three atch Had Benson shows your ex,

(27:08):
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, all the other things. Charlie Kirk
being shot, being killed. Don't watch it. I implore you not
to watch it. Even people out there that are watching,

(27:29):
you know, the North Carolina young woman from Ukraine getting
stabbed and people are out there going everybody should see this,
they should see what this I said, No, they don't.
They don't need to see this. They don't need to
see the worst, most terrifying moment of a human being's
life as they die. They don't need to see that.

(27:54):
So you could prove a political point. They don't. I've
told you guys this before. There are things in my
life that I never want to forget, and the things
in my life I wish I could because I've seen
so much stuff.

Speaker 13 (28:16):
And as I said earlier, the seeing it is.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Horrific, but also knowing that his kids are there and
knowing for the rest of their lives. And the only
thing that you could say about that is they're young.
They're young. So while everything is chaos and crazy and

(28:52):
there's all this sadness and stuff, one is three, the
other one is one. It's not like they were fifteen
and they saw their dad like this and they're going
to always remember this. It would be pointing out the
picture of him lurching back and all that that is
going to be everywhere, knowing there's a video of your
father being murdered, assassinated, and that is when I heard

(29:21):
his family was there. That was like the gut punch
of gut punches on top of everything else, because when
it happened, I mean the chao, you didn't know what
the hell was going on. Was he dead? Was he not?
He was at the hospital. It was his stable condition
that he was in intensive carey. Was this if you
see it, you know exactly what it was. But also

(29:45):
knowing that, you know, when you go to the front
page for just about anything, and the picture that everybody's
got up there is the you know, him at the
moment he's hit and lurching off to the side, And
I just thought, could you imagine if was you or
your family and the lasting memory that you would want

(30:06):
to hope is what my dad did and this, but
instead it's this, this memory of him being killed and
him in his final moments. Man, that's that's that's a

(30:26):
tough thing. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three acts She had Benson show, is your ax,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. We'd have some good
news too. We're gonna do it this day in history,
but we're gonna do something different because on this day
in history, we've talked about nine to eleven, but there
were other things that happened on this day in history,
and in particular on that day that weren't nine to

(30:50):
eleven related, and that because they happened on the day
that the biggest terror attack in the history of the
world happened to the biggest country in the history of
the world. Those things well by the wayside. So we'll
have a little bit of fun with that because there

(31:11):
were some interesting things that happened, including something that leads
to a lot of well, how should we say this
conspiracies when it comes to nine to eleven, because there's
a plenty of those. And let me know what your
favorite conspiracy of nine to eleven is. I'd love for
you guys to let me know. You can tweet at
us at Chad Benson Show three two, three, five, three eight,

of what took place on September eleventh, we remember that,
but there were other things that happened not only on
this date, but on that day. And because of what
happened on that day? That stuff nobody talks about.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
It watch a kind of time, a long time ago.

Speaker 7 (33:49):
Now it's time for this day in history.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
We look back on the set to find out what
the famous things took place. Now, one of the things
that took place on nine to eleven that is fascinating,
and I don't think this leads to a lot of
what you know, becomes these the folklore things of Oh

(34:12):
this is a you know, there's the conspiracy. The Pentagon
had an audit deadline that day. Do you know what happened?
Donald's rumfeld and that why they were doing that because
they were missing two point three trillion dollars completely overshadowed.
Oh wow, here's a shocker on this day, nine to eleven.

(34:34):
On that date, two thousand and one, Israel Palestine violence.
There were flare ups. Stop me if you've heard this
one before. It's part of the Second Infantada shooting's bombings
in the West Bank and Gaza. Just crazy. Also, the
night before, Michael Jordan, rumors sprouted everywhere because he was

(34:57):
going to come out of retirement again, but then immediately
that was forgotten. Also on this day, on that day,
several films were opening the previews, including Glitter, which was
arguably one of the worst movies of all time starring
Mariah Carey, which bomb badly and became synonymous with bad timing,

(35:19):
No doubt about that. Three two, three, five, three eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Shows, Your Acts,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. Just some stuff that
happened on that day September eleventh, two thousand and one.
That wasn't the terror attacks that people probably forgot all
about because of obviously what took place on that day.
You missed any show, sham many mix you read the
podcast right here on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up

(35:42):
our number two more on Charlie Kirk, the assassination, the
question of where do we go from here as a nation,
How do we as a nation find out? How we
come together? How do we as a nation aren't having dialogue?
Start being civil, start looking at each other as human beings,

(36:08):
as neighbors, as Americans, as fellow citizens of earth. Can
we get back to that? Let me talk about that
so more about nine to eleven. Got some other stories
to get to as well. If you miss a new show.
As always, charm on me.

Speaker 7 (36:19):
Make sure you have that podcast.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Our number two of the Chad Benson Show, straight ahead.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Last night, Donald Trump went to the Oval Office to
deliver a message for America. Charlie Kirk killed yesterday, assassinated,
and we got some healing to do in America. We
have a division and it's pretty damn big, and a

(37:16):
lot of it's driven by algorithms. Right, people you would
never meet normally ever, if ever, ever, ever, ever, well,
now you have access to them and birds of a feather.
So within minutes he was criticized for, you know, for
for his speech, which is another one of those ridiculous

(37:39):
things that we do now. And I was even and
my first response yesterday when he was shot was this
is going to ramp it up in a major way.
And my buddy said, well, what you say that, You

(38:00):
don't think people are gonna kind of gut check themselves.
I said, no, no, no, no. I said, what you're
going to find out now is how the left is
going to have glee with this and celebrate it, and
how the right is going to say we've had enough.

(38:21):
You people are nothing but evil. And if this is
what you want, I said, this is going to rather
than I would like to think it would be a
watershed moment where people step back go whoa, whoa, whoa,
the hell's going on? But I don't think so. And
that's unfortunate. That is unfortunate. Indeed, I mean MSNBC yesterday,

(38:42):
for God's sakes, Matt dowd on there, just remember these shows,
know what these shows are? These shows are. They want
you to say something with some pizazz, some controversy. They
want you to say something that's going to get share
clicks like they want you to have an opinion that

(39:03):
is strong, even if it's ridiculous. But there's also a
time and a place for certain things at a network.
And this went over like a fart in an elevator.

Speaker 14 (39:16):
Yeah, and again emphasize what you just emphasize. We don't
know any of the details of this that we don't
know if this was a supporter or shooting their gun
off in celebration or so.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
We have no idea about this.

Speaker 14 (39:26):
But following up what was just said, he's been one
of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this
who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of.

Speaker 7 (39:37):
Hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups.

Speaker 14 (39:40):
And I always go back to hateful thoughts lead to
hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I
think that's the environment we're in that people just you
can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have
and then saying these awful words and not expect awful
actions to take place. And that's the fortunate environment we're in.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
That is the most asine ridiculous thing, partially because you
are a part of the ecosystem, so you should know that.
In fact, that take was so bad that morning Joe
had to come out and go, hey, listen, that guy
an absolute idiot.

Speaker 15 (40:22):
Somebody came on Matthew Dowd yesterday, came on and made
a wild speculation that was obviously wrong and an extraordinarily
hurtful to many people. And Rebecca Cutler said so last night,
came out and condemned his words in the strongest term.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
So we're glad that she did that.

Speaker 16 (40:42):
This obviously though, and we're going to be getting into
just what he did. So those who don't understand the
extraordinary impact Charlie Kirkis had on American politics will have
a better understanding that this guy that was a podcaster
for two hours a day, that's a job in and

(41:03):
of itself. He ran organizations all over college camps is
the best organized person Democrats would have loved to have.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Absolutely, and I've been saying it, I'll continue to say it.
I think without Charlie Kirk and the influence he had,
not just in the last election, but the run up
through setting up for years turning Point USA at high
schools and getting kids interested in politics even if they
were against his beliefs, and then the college campuses in

(41:35):
the way, the podcast side of things, the flame throwing provocateur,
because he was those those things. I don't get into.
You guys listen to the show. You know that I'm
not a hyperbole cat. I'm not going to come out
and say something insane. That's not what I do. It
isn't And that's one of the reasons that I, you know,

(42:00):
a lot of people say, well, why why aren't you
on a bigger you know, bigger platform is doing bigger things.
I said, because I don't play to the algorithms. I
don't scream in yell. I want to have conversations. I
want to see everybody's side of something. I'm interested in
fixes and I'm not interested in in clicks and likes
in a way that, because it's easy to do, I
can come out here and just say the most ridiculous

(42:23):
things and and and you know, but that's I'm not
playing to that that small base of people that are
angry and pissed off and who want quote unquote to
win in something. But let's move that aside for a second.
What doesn't get talked about enough and is way overshadowed

(42:46):
because of who he is and his provocateur kind of
of of thing way that he did things, uh, the
way that he ran Turning Point USA, the way that
he put Turning Point USA from an idea and a
conversation Rush Limbaugh. They were playing, you know, clips of

(43:07):
him talking about when he first met Charlie. Charlie's like
seventeen Rush getting played golf and they wanted him to
meet and they talked for like a half an hour.
Same thing with like Shapiro and a lot of these
other people said the minute you talk to me here,
like this guy, he's gonna he's going to be the
head of the Republican Party in an hour, and I
think Ben Shapiro said, no, he didn't run the Republican Party.
He was much bigger than that. And he was much

(43:29):
bigger than that, and that came from the way that
he handled business. That came from the way that he
went about his idea of what he was going to do,
how he took something and grew it organically. But the
vision was there, and that gets lost because it's Charlie Kirk,

(43:56):
because it is you know, this guy that will say
things that does inflame people. And you know, somebody said
to me yesterday because I said, look, there's a lot
of things I didn't agree with, and there's a lot
of ways that he handled things that that's just not
my style. But he was effective. But it really overshadowed

(44:24):
the most important part of the politics side, which was
turning point in the growth of that because you can see,
you know, the podcasters, and you could see the influencers,
and they'll have a little influence here and there, and
they'll bring stories and they'll get people energized in certain ways,

(44:45):
but nothing the way that turning pointed at a grassroots
and a more real way that things stuck. And I
think that is something that is completely missed because of

(45:06):
him and the way that he overshadowed that because of
the name I mean south Park, by the way, South
Park's taking the episode down that he was on, you
know what three weeks ago. They took it down obviously
in light of events, and it was it was a

(45:31):
much bigger thing than just him, and that organization isn't
going anywhere. In fact, I think that I heard several
people said, well, you just created a lot of Charlie
Kirk's Maybe the thing though, I was talking to my
wife someone wife comes in last night because she knew.

(45:54):
So I did my show in the morning. For those
of you guys don't know, I do a lot of shows.
So do a show in the morning, then I go
do a show in like the midday at a local station.
Then I refreshen up my show for the West Coast
and stuff. So I do another one so it's all
fresh and new. And she came in. She tears in

(46:22):
her eyes, you know, because she seen you know she did.
I told her not to look at anything, not to
do anything, not to see anything, stay away from it.
But she was upset because of the fact that not
only did this happen but she didn't look at it

(46:44):
as a politic thing or you know, she looked at
it as as a husband was killed, a father was killed.
And she was genuinely really up set because she's always
talked about, you know, the worrisome, you know, because I've

(47:06):
had threats, We've had lots of threats, and it happens.
But I said, now, I said, no, don't, don't worry
about that baby. But she, you know, she looked and
she saw the part where Charlie was on Fox and
his little daughter goes running in there and into his arms,
and and you know, she thinks about that with my

(47:29):
kids and whatnot, and those things are the most important things.
And Charlie knew that he did. He was more than
just the provocateur and even the business guy a lot
more three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty

(47:49):
three at Chadmanson shows your ex, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more. We're gonna talk about the security or the
lack of or could you even done anything. We'll do
that straight ahead relief factor. Let me tell you the
more that I'm working out trying to get back in shape.

(48:11):
One of the things that stops people from being consistent
is being in pain. That's where relief Factor comes in.
First of all, it's non addictive, the formula is safe,
it's ideal for regular use. Take it every single day.
And the more you work out, the more that you're sore.
And if you can't work out because you're sure, then

(48:33):
what happens, Well, then you just never get to where
you want to be. And you want to be somewhere
which is fit or happier, healthier, more mobile, especially as
you get older. You don't have to live being stiff.
You don't have to live being sore. Over one hundred
million Americans think about this, experience ongoing aches and stiffness,
working out, from aging, hell, from taking a nap. Sometimes,

(48:54):
Relief Factor is going to help you with that for
less than a cup of coffee a day. Right now,
you can get a three week quick start. Okay, you're
gonna experience a major difference for yourself. So this is
what I want you to do. Oh, you go to
relief factor dot com. Okay, relieffactor dot com get your
three week quick start. You're gonna find that you're gonna

(49:18):
feel a thousand times better. You're gonna keep moving and
you're gonna feel your best every day. It's incredible. Go
to relief factor dot com now or called eight hundred
four relief. That's the eight hundred the number four relief
coming up. Security. Was there enough?

Speaker 17 (49:37):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Two lacks? We discuss Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
A lot of people talking about the security yesterday at
the Charlie Kurr event. Was there any Was it lax?
That's what you're hearing.

Speaker 18 (50:04):
Officials say. Six university officers were working the event with
some plane clothes officers in the crowd. University police saying
they had coordinated with kirk security team.

Speaker 16 (50:14):
We do know dressed in all dark clothing, but we
don't have much better description other than that.

Speaker 18 (50:21):
Officials say they believe the shot came from some distance away,
possibly a roof.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
And when I saw it first yesterday, the first video
that was out there, it was somebody that was probably
one hundred yards away. And I was actually with a
politician he was on my local show, and he said,
what do you think he came from? I said, well,
what I do know is everybody turns behind and looks,

(50:49):
so it had to be from some distance it's there's
only so much you're going to be able to do.
I mean it sounds like, oh, you're you're passing off this,
but no, I mean, what can you do? You have six, eight,
ten armed officers that you know of that you can see,

(51:13):
and you got plane clothes officers. The person that did
this wasn't somebody who just angry went out, grabbed a gun,
decided to go do something. They they thought about it.
They committed to doing this and not going out in

(51:34):
a blaze of glory.

Speaker 19 (51:36):
That tells you that the person is not new to shooting.
That they understood exactly what type of long rifle to bring,
what kind of optics in terms of scopes and sites
to have on that, what the windage was that might
affect a shot from that distance. This is someone who
knew exactly what they were doing and is probably known

(51:59):
to others, and this may be working to the advantage
of law enforcement as someone who has a long history
in shooting.

Speaker 20 (52:06):
This wasn't an amateur, No, And you know they took
a couple of people into custody and there was old
it was There's so much stuff that you hear when
you've got a fluid situation like this.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Shows, your ex, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more right here in the Chad Benson Show. The
reality is this person had not just an agenda to
go there and do something, but to go there to
do something and to get away, not just go out

(52:47):
in a blaze of glory, hail of gunfire, but like
they were there to do a job. And I'm not
saying that you know, this was some assassin, right like
the movie The hit Man, if you've ever seen that,
like somebody that is just I'm not saying like, but

(53:08):
what I am saying is there was a method. It
wasn't a fluke. It wasn't something that like you said,
because originally when you watch the videos, and by the way,
if you've not seen the videos, don't see the videos, don't,
but the you can tell that it wasn't somebody who

(53:31):
just came up to him right there on the stage
and shot him. So this wasn't one of these you know,
kids that were at the college, who's going to show
show him kind of thing that just grabbed a gun
earlier and decided all right, I'm gonna go do this
because they were so angry about I don't know whatever

(53:52):
they're going to be angry about, but going after security,
as we've seen, you can do a lot, but can
he do everything. I was curious though, why there weren't
more drones and things of that nature around. I would
thought there would be more drones and stuff flying. And

(54:16):
I think you'll see that moving forward in the future.
For sure. You're listen to the show Shame, make sure
we got in the podcast. It is the Chad.

Speaker 17 (54:22):
Benson Show, then Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
I was trying to calm my uncle down last night.
He is a big righty right tell him and it
was like beyond pissed, and I got a lot of
it from a lot of people. Got to take to
the streets and like, settle down, settle down, that's what

(55:15):
we gotta do. No, No, they're coming after us. No
one bad human being who did a horrible thing does
not equate to arming up and get in revenge. Sorry,

(55:40):
this is you. Hope cooler, calmer heads are gonna prevail.
I don't know if they will, you know, because there's
always the odd nut, as we know, but Brian Stelter,

(56:01):
who as we all know as the Potato, was talking
earlier today on CNN about the video. It's all there
now twenty four seven, three sixty five war. We've talked
about this. You can go watch the war in Ukraine
on the internet. You can go watch the war. The

(56:26):
other day, the US blew up a boat twenty seven
hundred miles from our shores, saying it was Trenda, Aragua
and they were coming here. There were eleven people on there.

(56:46):
They were blown up, gone by, no longer alive. That
was just on the regular news. Friends of mine who
were in this industry thought everybody should see the video
of the young Ukrainian woman who was killed by the

(57:08):
nutjob in North Carolina. And guess what. They're upset that
people are looking at this. You should be upset at
all of it. You shouldn't see this. It's not a
healthy place for human beings to be. There is a
reason that soldiers have PTSD because seeing death killing people

(57:46):
is not healthy for you. It's not well.

Speaker 21 (57:51):
There've always been some people who want to watch these
snuff films. You know, if you wanted to find gory
videos of people being slaughtered, you could find those on
the Internet twenty years ago. The difference now in the
past few years is that these social media algorithms push
it to all of us, even to most people who
don't want to see this content. And that's what I
fear about the last twenty four hours. One of the

(58:12):
things I fear is a lot of people who don't
want to see that gory video are actually being seen
when they log onto their social media feeds.

Speaker 11 (58:19):
You know.

Speaker 21 (58:19):
Thomas Chutterson Williams, the author waiting on this overnight. He
said it cannot be healthy individually or societally to be
exposed the endless footage of people being gruesomely murdered in
graphic detail on our phones. He cited the video out
of Charlotte and the video of Kirk, and he said,
this is not healthy to watch. We should not all
be seeing this. It is wharping us. And I share

(58:40):
that concern Kate, that it is numbing us as a
society to the truehole of violence.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
That's the potato right there. It's not very nice you
call them potato. It kind of looks like potato. Brian Stilter,
they brought him back. He staid that Sunday show, and
he would just say the most absurd things. We're like,
that's not even close to me, real, what are you
talking about? But he made sense there. We're not supposed
to see these things. I said it earlier, and I've

(59:06):
said it for years. There are things in life I
never want to forget, and there are things in life
I will never forget, no matter how much I want to.
Part of this business is seeing things. Had a conversation
with my son last night. I said Jack because he
asked me, Dad, how you doing? And I said, yeah,

(59:27):
it's been a tough day. He goes, I know I heard,
and I said, dude, I'm you're fifteen. You have access,
your friends have access. I'm not going to tell you
don't go look at it because I was fifteen once.
I mean, my god, we used to love to watch

(59:50):
Faces of Death. That was a big deal when we
were a kid, especially for boys. We got faces Death.
We got Faces Death. Do you even know ninety percent
of is fake? But you didn't know that. But I
told him, I said, dude, I am not going to
tell you not to look. What I am going to
tell you is that is a tough thing to unsee.

Speaker 12 (01:00:19):
That is.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
A human being dying. That is not how we handle
business in America, you know, because we went through the
whole politics thing. But I'd rather you not do it.
But I'm not going to tell you no because I
know you will probably do it at some point in time,
because if I was fifteen, I'd do the same damn thing.

(01:00:48):
And the access is everywhere Drudge one of the biggest,
one of the biggest websites on the planet. The front
page of Drudge, Charlie being shot, chair falling over, and
all you have to do is one click and it
takes you right to the video, not the video from

(01:01:09):
far away, the video within fifteen feet And as I said,
it is not something for the faint. You should not
watch it, and it is. You can tell the minutes
hit it's over. But I told him that, I said,
you've got to have these conversations. And I said, Jack,

(01:01:37):
there's a lot of things out there that are narally
and nasty and you just have to use common sense.
And I said, but you're going to do what you do.
You're a kid. I expect those things. And that was
the conversation we had about it. My wife, I've refused

(01:02:01):
to watch it, and I said, thank God. But my
fifteen year old daughter, Lily, she was all over her feed.
She didn't watch it, but her feed. The algorithms shouldn't
be pointing her to that. And as I was arguing
with my uncle last night, who's like ready? First of all, Paul,

(01:02:22):
I love you, but you're no. If you guys have
ever watched her or podcast, he is, No, there's no
way you're. First of all, you're not ready for somevill
You're not even fit to No. No, you're just not.
We recognize that as we talk about you know that's
not you. I said. Secondly, dude, he goes. All I

(01:02:45):
get on my feed is this, I said, because you
keep clicking on it, man, don't you know it? You,
of all people, the Master of AI, like one of
the most wanted cats in AI, you get this? I said.
You were feeding into it, the algorithm them in the
anger and because you click, it gives you more. Because
you click it gives you more. What's yours given you?

(01:03:12):
I said, dude, there's a thing called the High Racks.
It's a little animal. They're hilarious and I've been watching
funny videos of them, and I said, I'm getting a
lot of that because I don't want the anger, because
I know it's out there. This is designed to evoke emotion.

(01:03:34):
Their goal is to keep you on their platform as
long as possible, as long as possible. And so when
you play into the algorithm, because like anything, man, you
have a bad steak, you're going to tell ten people

(01:03:56):
you have a good steak. You may tell one. There's
a reason. Yell is what it is. Because we all
love to bitch and we like to be angry, and
the algorithm is like a genie. As you wish, as
you wish, and it's weird. As he's talking about, you know,
Brian Stelter there talking about this this video everywhere. You know,

(01:04:20):
we're talking about nine to eleven today. We're talking about
a day in our history that was just surreal. But
when you listen to the newscast.

Speaker 11 (01:04:35):
Not appear that there's any kind of an effort up
there yet. Now remember, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:04:42):
That looks like a second plane.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Yes, a plane go in that that just exploded.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
I just saw another plane coming in from.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
The side you did that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
That's the second explosion. You could see the plane come
in just from the right hand side of the screen.
So this looks like it is some sort of a concerted.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Yeah, it was conservative. We recognize that now. But as
we talk about not seeing the Charlie Kirk thing, those
planes weren't empty, those buildings weren't empty. So it's been
around a while, but we have become The difference is

(01:05:27):
the horror that we used to feel when we'd see
something like that, the horror of which we used to go, oh,
my god, and we'd ah and I don't want to
see that, and then it would stay with you. It's
now becoming oh oh, and then with AI too. I
also think that people don't think it's real. That was
the big thing yesterday. Some people like that that can't

(01:05:49):
be real. They can't be real. So it's out there,
and again you can see anything you want. You can't.
You can go back and see anything you want and
go watch the war on YouTube all day. But what

(01:06:12):
happens is you're going to start to get numb. You're
going to start to see something that should horrify you
and it evokes no emotion. And that's scary. I said

(01:06:33):
to you a couple of people yesterday who had seen
the video, and that pissed him off. But the way
that people were cheering and excited that Charlie was shot
and then found out that he had died. They were
more angry at that than seeing it, which is wow.

(01:07:00):
Right three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three.
That's the text lines, also the comment line. So if
you've got a you want to get some off your chest.
You you you want to, you want to yell, you
want to just say, hey, I like your show, whatever
it is. UH, leave a comment there because we do
love hearing from all of you. And I check all
the text messages and try to get back to as

(01:07:22):
many people as I possibly can. Birch Gold, Birch Gold,
Why Gold? I don't know if you're aware of this
stuff's going down. There's an uneasiness right now. You've got
potentially not only a weakening dollar more than it already is,

(01:07:43):

Chad Benson, Joe serving up Talk Radio medium, rare and
dripping with irony.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
Time that we take it deep breath then have a
little bit of fun because it's been a rough twenty
four hours or so, there's no doubt about that. So
I want to remind you that his life goes on.
So do the youth of America, and they're bizarre vernacular
that they use.

Speaker 7 (01:09:27):
Now it's time for the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
The young have a vocabularity all their own, and we
break it down for you.

Speaker 7 (01:09:35):
It's called the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
All right, kids, your urban word of the day. When
do we spring spring forward? When do we fall back?
We know that. So we head into fall starting to
get cooler out there, and this goes with our urban word.
That's why we're having a little fun with this. So

(01:10:00):
November second, okay, there you go, very interesting. Falls interesting.
It's my favorite time. But this urban word or phrase
winter arc. Winter arc the period of time when you

(01:10:20):
try to become the best version of you. How's it going, man,
I'm on my winter arc? Okay, winter arc is your
urban word of the day.

Speaker 7 (01:10:32):
That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Now you know, you do know it's always good to know,
because it's better than what not knowing exactly. Speaking of
knowing and not knowing, do you believe.

Speaker 17 (01:10:48):
But the idea that one of our best missiles, a
hell fire missile that usually you can't get away from,
didn't work with whatever it was fired at on this
one occasion. We're showing, right, and you see the income
and ballistic Lou you can help me with this in
terms of the jargon, and the thing seems to like
I thought at first when I saw it, that it

(01:11:08):
hit it and it just ricocheted off end of story.
But the people at the hearing were saying, no, no,
that's not what you're seeing. So I want your guys perspective.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
What am I missing in this and why does it matter? Ross?
So that was Chris Cuomo talking to Rossa Coulter, who
is a UFO guy, and they had the big hearing
the other day, but because of all the chaos that's
been happening and it kind of disappeared yesterday. That's what

(01:11:39):
the aliens wanted. And there was one video in the
hearing that they're talking about and we'll probably getting too
a little bit more next hour because I think it's
fascinating where they've got this thing that they're following. So
they got one of those predator drones and it fires
one of our healthfire missiles. It hits this thing and

(01:12:05):
bounces off of it, and the thing keeps going, which is
crazy scary. They're almost there. Three two, three, five, three, eight,

(01:12:27):
So more on Charlie Kirk. What's going on out there?
A lot of questions have come in, so I want
to answer some questions about the whole thing, because again,
it is a horrific situation. Top of that, we're gonna
delve into some other stuff again. What's trending nine to
eleven today, twenty four years since that day. Talk a

(01:12:48):

great to had Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
This is the Chad Benson Show, The Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
If you guys listen to my show, God bless you,
thank you so much, because my kids they really enjoy eating.
But if you listen to my show, I don't deal
in craziness, hyperbole. We have fun, we poke fun, but
I don't do nuttiness.

Speaker 7 (01:14:00):
I don't do controversy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
I'll talk about controversial things. I will give you my opinion,
but I don't say things that I don't believe. I
don't throw things out there to stir the pot because
that's what you do. That's not who I am. It's
never been something I've been about. Doesn't mean I won't
poke fun, because I will. You know that we we

(01:14:33):
need to get back to civility. Doesn't mean we have
to agree. We need to get off the phones and
start talking to one another. We need to see our
neighbor as our neighbor and not the person who voted
for the other side of the aisle. We need that

(01:15:00):
need to stop demanding the other side pay attention to
our temper tantrums because they didn't do something, say something,
or cover something the way that we wanted them to.

(01:15:21):
My business is a small business. We've all met. Somebody said,
did you meet Charlie I said I met him, he
was younger, He wasn't even really doing like this is
when he was just Turning Point was his thing, which

(01:15:41):
he gets. There's always talk about Charlie as the provocateur,
the he's this or he's that. He was so much
more when it comes to the political stuff, and the
most important thing was the turning point stuff. He never
gets enough credit. There's never enough talk about it. How

(01:16:04):
how big that thing got, how he grew that thing,
how that thing, And I continue to say this, and
I am not overstating this. I don't think you could
say this loud enough. The guy in the White House,
the President Trump, I do not believe he would be

(01:16:27):
there if it wasn't for Turning Point in Charlie Kirk.
Charlie tied in everything brought the young and it took
and it wasn't a thing that was just this election cycle.
This was something that was cultivated, that was nourished and
was brought along and consistency a younger generation like my

(01:16:54):
little brother and sister. My little sister's twenty nine, my
little brother's twenty eight. Within minutes of hearing about this,
they were texting me. I spoke to him last night
for hours in between all the other stuff that I
was doing because Charlie they've grown up with. And I

(01:17:21):
don't think he gets enough credit for that because of
the other stuff. And I'm going to tell you guys
this right now. There's a lot of stuff I didn't
believe that we saw I die with. There was a
lot of stuff that now I didn't agree with him.

(01:17:44):
But do I think we were better off for having
that voice? Absolutely? Do I think we were better off
in this country for having somebody who loved this country
that way? One hundred percent. Do I think I think
he was full of hate and anger? I do not.

(01:18:04):
He was a provocateur. He said stuff he did because
all as I talked about it yesterday on my Live.
But you guys need to go check out every single night,
yes again to night. This is an entertainment industry. I
need to get your attention. And unfortunately, whether it's the

(01:18:28):
podcast world, the radio world, it's a lot like the
influencer world. They're kind of one and the same. Being
uber provocative for a lot of people is what they do.

Speaker 17 (01:18:48):
Me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
I don't deal in that. That's not my thing. Like
I said, not that I won't deal with the provocative
thing and give you a take that's strong about something.
But I am not going to say something just because
I want to get a rise. You know how easy
that is. But he believed in the things that he

(01:19:10):
was fighting for. He believed in the discourse that we
had on campuses that should be hashed out by talking,
by debating, by bringing ideas to the table and putting
them out there. That is an amazing thing. So yes,

(01:19:36):
I think we're absolutely better for him being here. And
I don't think that in two or three days people
are just gonna gough Charlie's gone ron to something else.
Doesn't mean stories aren't going to change. By tomorrow. We're
gonna talking about a lot of different stuff. That doesn't
mean any of these things are gonna change. What it means, though,

(01:19:58):
is some things those cycles are quick because we have
the attention span of a nat I read the other day.
Average person has an attention span of eight seconds. What
I don't know, but when you watch him debate, because
there's a lot of people out there that when they debate,

(01:20:23):
they're debating young men and women who are usually they
could debate kids for several hours, but they're gonna pick five,
six or seven of the most absurd things when they
absolutely just torched them and they're gonna spread it all
over the internet because it's good for clicks, likes, the

(01:20:46):
whole nine yards. But Charlie, he didn't do that. He
was cordial, He was never rude. He had a smile
on his face. Yeah, he wanted to win his argument,
but he wasn't there to embarrass you. He wasn't. So. Yes,

(01:21:12):
people out there that are pissed off and angry at
people like that all the time and then celebrating when
they get shot. Yes, he was a provocateur. He did
deal at times in saying some stuff that, as we
would say, was a little extra. But he was genuine.

(01:21:34):
He was a father, he was a husband, and he's gone.
And when I look out there, I think to myself,

(01:21:54):
this should teach us that we need to have a
conversation in this country. We need to be us, meaning you,
me and everybody. We don't deal in craziness and chaos.
We want to know the truth. We're levelheaded. I want
to listen to everybody's ideas. Let's lay it all out there,
let's do facts and data. Let's have some fun in

(01:22:16):
the worst case scenarios. We don't agree with each other
those part As friends, we are the exhausted majority, though
the fringe elements of pissed off, angry people have dominated
the conversation for too damn long, and we need to

(01:22:37):
take it back. I've been saying that for years. I
told my wife I'm independent in thought here locally my
station that I'm on huge station, very maga. As you
guys know, I'm not very maga very much. Me and

(01:23:03):
I piss a lot of people off, and some of
them are very very angry all the time at me,
but they keep listening, and God bless them for that.
And some say, you know, I said some horrible thanks
to you yesterday, and they'll hit us up on the
text line and say, I am absolutely sorry about that,
and I appreciate the fact that you have dialogue with me.

(01:23:29):
My uncle was so pissed last night by this, and
I said, let me tell you something. You're mad because
your algorithm is feeding you stuff that's pissing you off.
So yep, because they're saying things about Charlie or they're
celebrating Charlie's death. He so, yeah, it's horrible. It's awful,
And I said, if Charlie was here, he would protect

(01:23:51):
their right to do that. If we're going to talk
to talk, we better be able to walk the walk,
which is a silly saying, but I felt like it
was a good place to put that. The First Amendment
is the pressure valve that releases our frustration anger, keeps

(01:24:16):
check on people, organizations, and government. What took place yesterday
was not free speech. It was an act of evil,
and it was an act of somebody who didn't win
their argument and went about trying to win it in

(01:24:42):
a different way, and in doing so he lost a
much bigger argument. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty

I tell you what. Some people a lot of anger
out there. There is. There is a lot of anger.

(01:29:42):
Something's always bubbling up, it feels, and I think social
media is you know what's trending plays a huge role
in it. It's no doubt it is fuel for at
times of fire, but a lot of times the smoldering embers.
But then social media just changed everything and and now
it is always some sort of fire, and sometimes it's

(01:30:04):
a raging inferno. And I feel like we're at a
ranging inferno type place at this moment in time, which
is that is not a good place to be, not
for us, not for the world, not for each other
and yourself.

Speaker 11 (01:30:27):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
I talked to a few people yesterday who are so angry,
and I'm like, dude, this is not who you are.
Bring the emotion down, Okay, I get it. You love politics,
you're into politics. You bring the emotion down because it's

(01:30:47):

than thinking. Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
Show, Son, Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
We're gonna talk about Charlie. Get back to him in
a second. But I think this goes well with this today,
and it's unfortunate that anything would go well with any
of this. But as far as having conversations, twenty four
years ago, Charlie would have been seven. So twenty four
years ago today, we were attacked by hijackers who wanted

(01:31:54):
to do everything they could to kick America in the grundle,
and it changed our country forever. And I think we
as talking to my wife a while ago as we
moved further away from that, and you think about it's
almost a quarter of a century when that happened, that

(01:32:15):
horrific day, when innocent people paid a horrific price and
the world watched.

Speaker 11 (01:32:25):
We're back at nine o'clock Eastern time on this Tuesday morning,
and we're back with dramatic pictures of an accident that
has happened just a short time ago. You're looking at
the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, where just a
few minutes ago we're told that a plane, some reports
are that it was a small commuter plane, crashed into
the upper floors of one of the twin towers. You

(01:32:47):
can see fire and flames or smoke billowing from that tower.
There is a gaping hole on the north side of
the building, that's the side you're seeing to the left
hand side of your screen right now, and other damage
to the west side of that building, which is to
the right side of your screen. This, of course, happened
just before the morning commute, before people were heading into
their offices, and while I'm sure some people were already

(01:33:09):
at work immediately. There's speculation or cause for concern. This
is the World Trade Center that was the center of
a terrorist bombing some years ago. So the questions have
to be asked. Was this purely an accident or could
this have been an intentional act? But either way, extensive
damage has been done to this building.

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
And that's how it started. Was it an accident? Just
was this a situation? That was? What was this? And
nobody really knew, right, this wasn't the time of any

(01:33:47):
kind of social media that things go viral. This was
the time of just regular media. People didn't have phones
that they were carrying around filming twenty four to seven.
They didn't have that. Phones were available, but the cameras
they have, the things that that we do now, they

(01:34:09):
didn't have the access in the reach of instantaneous So
people chalked it up to well, it was a must
have been a small prop engine plane. Wasn't the first
time that a plane had crashed into one of those buildings, Uh,
it had happened before, so that's kind of where it went.
And I remember so at that time, I was a broker.

(01:34:33):
We had our own firm that's doing all right. And
our buddy Wavy Davy comes in and Lars and I
and we're all just chilling, and so Wavy Davy comes
in and he says, in his English accent, I just
said on the radio, that's something crash into the you know,

(01:34:55):
one of the towers in New York. I'm like, oh,
And we we traded a lot of coffee, sugar, cocoa.
The exchange was in one of the towers, so we
called it was down at the bottom, and we talked
to our lady did handle everything, and she's like, it's
next door. Sounds like a small plane. Then we had

(01:35:17):
a couple buddies who we knew that we traded, were saying,
it's not they've lost contact with all these planes, and
we realized something was up. Now we were in a
it was like a condo. It was really weird. It's
like a two story little condo apartment building and the
bottom floor was our office. Now that we didn't even

(01:35:38):
have a TV. We'd only been there a couple of months.
We didn't have a TV. Their computers there even weren't
streaming anything real. So our buddy, who used to be
a broker but now he's in a band. We ran
upstairs him and his wife and we're like open the
door and ran in and they're sleeping, and they're like,
what's going on, what's going on. I'm like, we turned
on the TV. They turned we sit so they were

(01:36:00):
all in the bed and we're like, dude, we're under attack.
And the second that we turned the TV on and
we all sat down and we said we're under attack.
That was evident.

Speaker 12 (01:36:14):
Not I've never seen any It looks like a movie.
I saw a large plane, like a jet, so I
immediately headed directly into the World Trade Center. It just
swing to it into the into the other tower. Coming
from south to north, the watch the planely into the
World Trade Center. It was a jet. It was a
very large plane. It was so in south. What passed

(01:36:34):
the recent how the scene built and that retark it
flew right past it almost hit it and then went in.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
This is so shocking, of course, to everybody watching.

Speaker 12 (01:36:45):
I've never seen anything like it. It literally blew itself
into the World Trade Center.

Speaker 11 (01:36:51):
Obviously now we moved from what appears to him there
it is right.

Speaker 12 (01:36:54):
There again, I'm looking from south to north, and it
went into the one on the that appeared.

Speaker 11 (01:37:00):
To be at least a seven twenty seven. We saw
it a second ago. Here here comes the videotape that
we just showed you. You will see what appears to
be a large plane. It could be a seven to
twenty seven right there, maybe even bigger, flying right into
the side of the World Trade Center.

Speaker 12 (01:37:16):
It was at least at seven twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
And we knew at that moment in time life was
going to change, because we were for the most part,
I mean, you know, we had the coal. Remember that
the ship that got attacked USS Coal was a few
months before we had the Blind Chic and they tried

(01:37:42):
to blow up the World Trade Center, and you know
they didn't succeed, obviously, and that was a few years
earlier than that. But on our soil, you know, at
the Bay Route, you had a lot of these things
other places, but on our soil we never had this.

(01:38:05):
We never had any of this, And it was surreal.
It was terrifying because it was just one of those
things where after a little bit and they kept showing

(01:38:28):
it over and over again, and then you found out, oh,
Pennsylvania and then the Pentagon and you had all of
this stuff and It's like, Oh my god, when is
it gonna end? When is it gonna get to where
we are? What is going to happen? Are we gonna
all have to go? You know? It was California back
in the day, but we were pretty loaded for Bear,
so we were like, what the hell? We didn't know.
It was terrifying, and then once that initial shock, it

(01:38:52):
was numbing. And I remember it was we'd been sitting
there watching it all day at about two o'clock in
the afternoon because we were brokers and we're on the
West Coast, so we have to get up extra early,
and and I look at Lars. I said, dude, I

(01:39:14):
need to eat. He goes, I do too, and he goes,
let's go grab a BikeE So you hop in his
car and everything was closed.

Speaker 16 (01:39:22):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
Creepy. So we're in Newport Beach, California. Everything is closed,
Subway check in a box and you couldn't get anything.
We had to go to seven eleven, which was a
zoo because everybody was hungry and they were thinking the
same thing. And I remember telling Lars not a word

(01:39:52):
was said. You get one hundred people, the line is
out the door because people are trying to get stuff
because they don't know what's happening, and no one person
is saying a thing, and it was so bizarre. But

(01:40:12):
then I remember a few days later, smiles on people's faces,
a hello, American flags everywhere. I remember this sense of

(01:40:37):
we feel like we're doing something. We're together in this,
whatever this is, whatever this is, whoever this is, that
we have to go and get this, you know, this group,
and there was this sense of we're united in this,

(01:40:58):
We're all in this together. They didn't just attack me,
they didn't just attack you. They attacked us. They attacked
our way of life, They attacked us on our home soil.
And I wonder to this day could we ever get
that back? Could we ever get back that sense of

(01:41:27):
where Americans where united? Could we ever have that feeling again?
I don't think so. And you only had to see
what happened with Charlie to realize the chances of that

(01:41:50):
happening are slim to not. I don't even know what
it would have to be to have anything like that,
and God knows, I don't want to know, because oh
how horrible would that have been to Ben to unite
us again our sense of decency and humanity is more
than just lacking. And I think the inner webs have

(01:42:12):
a huge thing to do with it. And I'm talking
about social media more than anything else. If you're angry,
you're feeding that algorithm. If you are hardcore wright left,
you're feeding the algorithm. And the interesting thing is you're

(01:42:35):
probably feeding to a different side in a lot of ways.
You're feeding it finding all the leftist stuff or the
right ease, and you're on the left or right, and
then it's angering you more, and then you're clicking on
it more, and then you're getting mad. And it's surreal,

(01:42:56):
it is. And watching people yet yesterday have a sense
of celebration over a man shot was sickening, absolutely sickening.
We're better than that. We are, I mean, there's no

(01:43:19):
doubt we are better than that. But there is also
a sense that, my god, how do we get to
this point where our political foes have to be taken out?

(01:43:39):
It is a it's not a good place to be.
It's not a healthy place for America. It isn't. And
that's why on a day like today, we're normally we're
talking about nine eleven, we're talking about, you know, little
things because everybody remembers where they were. It's weird too.
If you're a parent, aren't you're older. I'm not older,

(01:44:04):
but like your kid wasn't born then, like, wasn't I
loving again? They kind of know what it is. Jack
and I have had this conversation. You know else. I
had a conversation with this my old producer, not Anthony,
but my old producer local show, Steve, because Gatos and
I were talking about one day. He was my he's
my old partner, best friend, Gatos. What's up?

Speaker 7 (01:44:24):
Uh he uh?

Speaker 2 (01:44:26):
You know, were chatting about it and Steve said, you know,
he's in kindergarten. I'm like, shut up. He goes, we
didn't know what was going on. I'm like, you probably didn't,
nor should you have. But I think we need to
take a serious step back and remember, yeah, you know what,
we've got warts and all here in this country, but

(01:44:46):
we're allowing the small, angry few to become a voice
of dominance when we're the exhausted majority. And we need
to remind people of that by taking back the conversation,
taking back the debate and civility in this country. Three two, three, five,

How do you want to be remembered?

Speaker 9 (01:46:45):
Me?

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
If I die, everything just goes away. How would you
if you could be associated with one thing, how would
you want to be remembered?

Speaker 5 (01:46:51):
I want to be I want to be remembered for
for courage from my faith.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
That would be the most important thing.

Speaker 4 (01:46:57):
Most important thing is my faith in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
Charlie Kirk not too long ago, talking about how he
wanted to be remembered, and he's not here anymore, died
at thirty one, taken way too young. It is a
I don't think people know a lot about this, but
his pastor and him, he's a text every day and
his pastor was talking about the last text that they

(01:47:21):
had and Charlie had been indicating that kind of thought.
He had done this run with politics, and that he
wanted to devote his time as effort into spreading the word,
living out loud, proselytizing to people. And what took place

(01:47:42):
yesterday was was awful. It was horrific. It was designed
to invoke fear. And we can't let it do that.
We can't, we cannot let it do that. I am

(01:48:03):
a big believer that all speech is necessary. I'm a
big believer that we must be able to have ours
say because if we don't, more incidents like this happen.

(01:48:26):
We can't let his death be for nothing. You didn't
have to like his politics, or his belief in his
God or whatever. But he was a true believer in
not only his faith, but a true believer in the
Constitution and what this country is was and hopefully will

(01:48:47):
continue to be. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty
four to twenty three at Chad Benson shows your Acts,
your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, right here on in the Chat
Benson Show, Solid Show today again, tough one. We'll be
back to normal programming tomorrow. But I thought it was

(01:49:10):
a day that we should talk about this get it
off our chest, and because we need to find out
how we become the best us live up to those
high expectation of what it is to be an American
and to have the freedoms that we have in this country.
And we need to remember that and we need to

(01:49:32):
live it, and we need to do it in a
way where we treat each other with respect rather than
hate and anger. You guys, have a blessed rest of
your day. We'll do it again tomorrow. Hold on us,
I can I see you Friday night, night Jack.
