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

Speaker 2 (00:14):
So we have breaking news. Just a little while ago,
apparently they believe that they have the suspect. Now they
believe that they've got the suspect in the shooting of
Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I've just spoke to a source who is confirming that
a person of interest is in custody. ABC News is
aware of a name that law enforcement was focusing on overnight.
We're not releasing that name until we get additional confirmation.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
So it had been weird, let's be honest, the last
couple of days. It had been an odd situation where
people are asking certain questions about how is it you've
caught this guy? You know? Then the conspiracy theory started
running all over the place. But it looks like they

(01:11):
have a person that they believe is the suspect and
apparently his father turned him in. So that is an
interesting situation going on. And I saw yesterday they were
interviewing somebody that they seemed to be a father, and

(01:38):
they spent a lot of time with him. Definitely a
man that didn't fit the description of the shooter and
what we had seen, but actually is maybe the father
who was the individual that they were interviewing him about

(02:04):
and if that is to be true, because they were
spending a ton of time there focusing there, and there
were a lot of FBI and police for the person
who wasn't the subject. If you will, so, Trump earlier
today at Fox yesterday.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
You were at the nine eleven memorial. We were all
watching that. Jade Vance was supposed to be with you.
He went out to be with Charlie Kirk's family and
to get the body back to his hometown in Arizona,
and you said you were going to award him the
Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is very nice of you.
Any updates on the suspect.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, can I always say, I think just to protect
us all and so Fox doesn't get sued and we
all don't get sued and everything else, but I think
with a high degree of certainty, we have him. We're
in custody, in custody. Everyone did great job. We worked
with the local police, the governor, everybody did a great job.

(03:05):
You know, getting somebody that you start off with absolutely nothing,
and we started off with the clip that made it
look like an ant.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
That was almost useless.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
We just saw there was somebody up there, and so
much work has been done over the last two and
a half days. You know, it's amazing actually when you
start off with that and then all of a sudden
you get lucky or talent or whatever it is.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
But yeah, we're I think we're in great shape. That's
the pretty's in custody.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
So that is Donald Trump. Just a little while ago
that they believe they have the person in custody. ABC
says they have the name, but they're not releasing it.
Like I said, it was a situation. We've asked some
serious questions about.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
The FBI, the local police, the lack of well they
didn't not only the lack of transparency, they seem to
be kind of all over the place.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
It was we're going to get this guy really quick.
By the way, here's one hundred thousand dollars reward if
anybody has any information leading to the arrest of this guy. So,
I mean, we're going to find out more, no doubt,
in the coming hours, I'm sure. And as we always say,

(04:23):
in stuff like this, it's fluid. It's fluid because you're
going to get the worst of the Internet telling you
all kinds of things that are lies. Remember a couple
of weeks of that horrific thing that happened with the
shooter at the church in Minneapolis within the space of

(04:49):
an hour or two, where they thought they knew who
the shooter was. You saw fifteen different names and none
of them were the names. None of them. So there's
going to be this situation where you're probably gonna see

(05:11):
some stuff, but they are pretty confident that they have
the person and his pops may have turned him in.

Speaker 8 (05:20):
That is.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Crazy.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
The father convinced the son and this is it.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I'm wondering, and this is I don't want this to
be true. But the uh, the rise of the anti hero.
We talked about it a little bit yesterday, the rise
of the Luigi Mangiones of the world. People who'd think

(05:57):
they are doing the world of fame and that they
are willing to sacrifice themselves, but not in a way
that you know, this isn't going out in in in
guns ablazing, it's none of that. This is one of
those things where they feel that not only the doing

(06:18):
the world of favor, they're also wanting to stick around
to get the notoriety, to get all of the stuff.
You know, we don't use the shooter's name on you
know with mass shootings, we don't. I mean we for

(06:39):
news purposes, we may use it once, because I don't
want to glorify who they are, especially because I think
many of them are enjoying the fact in the afterlife
in their mind of maybe the notoriety that'll come with this,
in this infamy. Now, I feel like there is this this,
you know, this anti hero that they think they are,

(07:02):
like the movie V for Vendetta, that they're getting back
at big pharma, big health industry, the powers that be
that are the man which all that is. That is
a good place to be. That is a horrible, horrible
place to be. And I sit there and I think

(07:28):
to myself, my god, we could not see arise in this,
but I would. I would imagine some stuff's gonna happen soon. Again,
I don't think this is it. And I think the
anti hero thing for a lot of these people, they
they think they're doing the world of service. And so

(07:48):
for like Luigi Mangioni, that to him was going out
and killing somebody who he believed was a detriment to society.
So everybody should thank him for doing that. And you
saw what happened. Notoriety that wasn't about free speech. That

(08:13):
was about you know, getting back at the man. And
then you go and look at what took place here
and the cheers and excitement that you saw from people
out there celebrating the death of Charlie, which again is

(08:37):
just awful that you would do something like that. You
have the right to do it, you do, but you
aren't a better person. You're not You're not some you know.
I've always used this line, hay To, still have right.

(09:00):
Let me talk about but both sides of times think
that they have a moral high ground and that even
though it's hate, morally their hate is superior to the
other hate, which is asinine, absolutely asinine. So what we

(09:21):
do know again, I we're going to find this out
throughout the day. They believe, though, that they have caught
the suspect in this, Not quite sure, nobody. Several places
are reporting they have his name, but they have yet
to release his name. And you're Trump there originally with

(09:41):
somebody close to him turned him in. Now he admitted, yeah,
it was his dad. His dad basically said, hey, you know,
the gig is up, so you turn yourself in. And
Trump seems pretty certain because, as I said, earlier. The
FBI has not really done a great job. I think

(10:03):
in the last few days at this they fumbled more
than a few things. Cash Mattel yesterday didn't even speak
at the press conference, so we flew out there and
didn't speak. That was kind of an odd thing. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show Is
Your Acts, Her Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more. We're gonna
have more on this throughout the show as we get

(10:23):
the information that we think is real, you know, because
I don't want to put crazy stuff out there. We
had already two people. They said these people are people
of interest, and we think we got them and there
and then it turned out to be nothing at all.
So but they think they do happen, So we talk
about that. We little Finally, Friday Sounds coming up in

Sun Chad Benson Show, The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Last week had a nice week in the old football picks,
as I tend to do. Actually, last week was pretty
damn good. It's fourteen and two. I wonder how I'm
gonna do this week.

Speaker 21 (18:13):
Let's find out, shall way.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Glad I got some football out there. I was telling
my wife last night, after all the stuff we've done,
I was sitting there relaxing. She was doing some stuff
and I'm just laying in the bed watching the football game.
She goes, you need to be asleep. I said, you
know what, this is the first time in like the

(18:49):
last forty eight hours where I have all this chaos
going on and I'm just kind of not thinking about stuff.
I was watching the game and I was talking to
producer Phil. I said, Packers were gonna win last night.
They did. I said, twenty seven four was what? Twenty

(19:10):
seven eighteen? So close? But we got the picks coming
here we go. Giants, Cowboys, somebody's gotta win. I'm gonna
go with the Cowboys on this one. Seahawks, Steelers, somebody's
gotta win. Go with the Steelers, Rams Titans. I'm gonna
go with the Rams, Bill's Jets go with the Bills. Patriots,

(19:32):
Dolphins go with the Patriots, Jags, Bangles go with the Bengals, Saints, Niners.
It's gonna be interesting. I think the Saints are gonna
get a win. Niners are beat up. Browns, Ravens go
with the Ravens. Bears, Lions go with the Lions, Broncos,
Colts go with I'm gonna go with the Colts to

(19:58):
get a win. Panthers, car go with the Cardinals, Eagles,
Chiefs go with the Chiefs. Falcons, and the Vikings. I'm
gonna go with the Vikings to get that done. Monday
Night got a double header, which is interesting. So normally
you don't, but Monday Night we do. Bucks, Texans. I'm

(20:20):
gonna go with the Bucks, Chargers, Raiders. I'm gonna go
with the Chargers. So there you go, day as you win.
Got it all for you right there. Very exciting. It
is good. You know. I was watching Thursday Night football
obviously last night.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
And.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
There was a moment in the I think it was
third or fourth quarter, and as I'm watching it, they
do there's like a timeout on the field for something
and they're doing a flashback with al Michaels. So remember
nine to eleven happened on a Tuesday. They can't the games.
There was this big debate should they cancel the game,
should they not? Should they or shouldn't they? Right, and

(21:04):
they decided, all right, we're going to cancel the games
the following week. So the following week comes and college
kicks off again. You know, there's a lot of flags,
but it's subdued, right, Like I said, same thing on Sunday,
A lot of flags, a lot of you know, because
you're trying to get back into some sort of normal

(21:27):
way of life after what just happened. And then Monday
night football came and it was in Lambeau, right, So
it's like, this is America, right, You're in the middle
of America as America as it gets in America's pastime
slash religion. And so the crowd's there and the packers

(21:54):
are in the tunnel, and then it kind of split
and Chris Gissey I think his name was, has the
flag and he grabs it and just takes off, runs

(22:15):
out of the tunnel, runs through all of the people,
you know, the cheerleaders and everything, and you got the
men and women the you know, the fire department and
the first responders and the police and everybody all there.
It was like at that moment, that celebration, there was
a few moments like that that it was okay, we're

(22:39):
gonna be okay.

Speaker 18 (22:41):
Security, of course, intensified the crowd a little bit more
subdued than usual when they entered lambeau Field. And as
was the story around the country yesterday, signs of patriotism
are overt and in abundance.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
And that was just an amazing moment. And then you
followed that up by Sammy Sosa. You guys remember that.
So Sammy Sosa the baseball player used to run out
as fast as he could to right field, so he
would always spread out there. And the first game back

(23:22):
at Wrigley after the attacks, Sammy does his thing, but
this time he's got an American flag.

Speaker 18 (23:30):
And Sammy Sosa leads the cup charges he does every
single day out to right field.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Here at Chicago.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
Three zero pitch sag.

Speaker 11 (23:40):
Out too deep to right to the time after me too.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
And as we've talked about the last couple days, the
commonality we as a nation, we're attacked on nine to
eleven and we as a nation came together. And one
of those things that got us back to some normalcy, well,

(24:24):
sports and the seeing the flag, seeing the people, seeing
them in the crowd, seeing them together, seeing people get
over the fear and the worry because we didn't know
what was next. Was there going to be something else?
Were there more things coming? But sports is an amazing

(24:46):
thing because it brings us together. You're in a crowd
watching a game, rooting for your team, your country, whatever
it is, and the person next to you, outside of

(25:08):
the Karen from Philadelphia, you don't know what their political
belief is. You don't care because you have a common goal.
This is our team. We want our team to win.
We want this team to win. We're here, we're together,
We're pulling for our guys, for our gals. We want

(25:31):
to see our team win. I don't think we can
get back to that place, and that's kind of sad.
It is, at least not in the short term. So

(25:53):
but I just remember after that, the outpouring of love
that we had for one another as much as we
were numb, and I don't realize I don't think people
realize how long we were numb. We were not because
we had just suffered a massive attack and then you know,

(26:15):
you got to go back to work three or four
days later, whatever it was, and and and what you know,
what it's like, it just doesn't feel as important. This
doesn't feel like this. We needed something to make us
feel that again, and I think sports gave it to us.

(26:36):
I do and it was. Man, those those were some
amazing times. When you think about the coming together, what
happened before was awful. And I don't want to be
a downer that we can't come together again, But I
don't know how we get there. Because you can offer suggestions,

(27:03):
you can try to find a way, you can do
your little part, but there is a massive gap between
us right now, and the algorithms play big part of it.
But the algorithms only feed us what we're asking for.
Too many people are asking for the wrong thing. We

(27:25):
need to start giving people what they need, not what
they want. That has to be something we start doing.
Three two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four twenty three.
At Chadmentson's show, is Your ex Your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,

(27:45):
and more, we were going to go live last night,
but I just I was exhausted. I'm like I can't.
It's my uncle's you want. I guess I did. I can't.
I can't. I've done so much and it's been training.
It has been absolutely training. It's like, dude, I get it.

I don't know how I do it to other man.

Benson Show.

Speaker 22 (29:51):
A shashtag me too, hashtag immigration reforms, hashtag help. I'm
trapped in a hashtag factory and I can't get out
the chat Benson sho.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
So if you're just tuning in to the program.

Speaker 23 (30:06):
The suspect, they believe they have him in custody, The
shooter of Charlie Kirk, the alleged shooter.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
I got to say that I think with a high
degree of certainty, we have him.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
We're in custody.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Trump earlier today on Fox and Friends, people ask well,
how exactly did you guys catch him?

Speaker 5 (30:29):
The father convinced the son and this is it. And
again I'm always subject to be corrected, but I'm just
giving you based on what I'm hearing.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
So sounds like Pops turned him in. And overnight and
even late yesterday, there was a they were interviewing a
man who they said it was a person of interest
but not the suspect, And there were a lot of
people at this guy's house and they think they have him.

(31:06):
Now he's been identified by some as Tyler Robinson, twenty
two years old. You know, it's funny and what I
said earlier and again that's what sources are saying his
name is. And this is on the Daily Mail, and

(31:31):
there's a couple other places that are now using this name.
But to give you to talk about how crazy stuff
is is we talked about at the beginning of the
show that people will spread whoever they think it is
all over and they'll get thousands of likes and chairs

(31:51):
and whatnot. When I was doing my research, several names
popped up that they swore were the shooter. This is
the shooter, this is the guy that did it, this
is him, this is it. Oh, the news ish people
are reporting that is twenty two year old Tyler Robinson.

(32:15):
Now could that change? You never know, But several places
that I trust are now reporting that they believe that
this is the guy and that he confessed to his dad,
who then contacted the authorities secured his son before he
could be taken into custody. And last night he was

(32:39):
taken into custody, and we're just finding out about it
because it sounds like they're pretty sure that this is
the character. Because remember there were a few people taken
into custody within the first twelve hours and both released,
so they wanted to double triple make sure that they

(32:59):
had this person in custody. So now, if this is him,
motive motive investigators you know yesterday talked about it looked
like it was a mouser and the bolt action for

(33:20):
long range, which was supposed to be good the best.
That's what they're saying is it might not have been,
but that's what they're kind of saying. It was the mouser,
but on it was the ammunition that was there, as
they found this gun was transgender and anti fascist ideology.
So there you go. He could face the death penalty

(33:46):
if indeed, again this is him. But they're reporting Tyler Robinson,
twenty two years old of Utah. Supposedly he confessed to
his father that he was the shooter. Pops took him
and secured him, and the police in the FBI came
and took him to custody last night, and we're finding
out about this. They offered one hundred grand to information

(34:10):
leading to his capture. I know this sounds weird, but
does dad get the money?

Speaker 6 (34:19):
I don't?

Speaker 2 (34:21):
I mean, right, like, does that sounds weird?

Speaker 8 (34:24):
Right?

Speaker 2 (34:24):
But your dad turned him in and this indeed is
the guy. So does dad get the money? Would you
take the money?

Speaker 24 (34:35):
Right?

Speaker 8 (34:35):
Like?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Would you take the money if they offered to you?
They don't know. Oh goodness to me, it's a weird
world we're living in. So I was talking about sports
last segment, because man, I tell you what, I'm looking

(34:56):
forward to football this weekend and naps. Absolutely what I
am looking forward to this weekend football and naps. Naps
are good three, two, three, five, three, eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Show. That is your ex Insta, YouTube, Facebook,

(35:26):
I think we're on Rumble too. We got a TikTok.
We got them all out there, kids, And if you
miss any of the show, make sure you grab the
podcast as well. Radio on the Chad Benson Show. Coming up,
hour number two, we're gonna have more on the suspect. Also, yesterday,
I'm gonna tell you, guys this, it.

Speaker 25 (35:43):
Was a for me.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
These these people always think these these things are easy,
These days are easy because you know what you're gonna
talk about and stuff. They're much harder than you think.
And yesterday was one of those days where it was
so frustrating. And I'll tell you a story about my
wife who couldn't watch my show because of the vile

(36:11):
things that people were saying about me and how upset
she was. And those were people on the right, our
number two, straight ahead Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
So they have a suspect in custody, and from what
I'm understanding now and again, this is how fluid things are.
Tyler Robinson twenty two of Saint George Utah is the
person in custody, and we'll get to how they got there.

(37:10):
But Trump announced it earlier today on Fox and Friends
because that's like his favorite show.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Yesterday, you were at the nine eleven memorial. We were
all watching that. Jade Vance was supposed to be with you.
He went out to be with Charlie Kirk's family and
to get the body back to his hometown in Arizona,
and you said you were going to award him the
Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is very nice of you.
Any updates on the.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
Suspect, Yeah, can I always say, I think just to
protect us all and so Fox doesn't get sued and
we all don't get sued and everything else, but I
think with a high degree of certainty, we have him.

Speaker 6 (37:51):
We're in custody, in custody. Everyone did a great job.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
We worked with the local police, the governor, everybody did
a jeb you know, getting somebody that you started off
with absolutely nothing, and we started off with a clip
that made him look like an ant that was almost useless.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
We just saw there was somebody up there.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
And so much work has been done over the list
two and a half days.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
You know. It's amazing actually when you start.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
Off with that and then all of a sudden you
you get lucky or talent or whatever it is.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
But yeah, we're I think we're in great shape. That's
the pretty sing.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
So they've got him in custody. It was trump earlier today,
two hundred and fifty miles away Saint George, Utah, from
where this happened. Dude took a shot, put stuff in
his pants and his backpack, jumped down, slowly walked away,

(38:49):
according you can see all the cameras, got in the car,
and then drove two hundred and fifty miles home, and
apparently his dad saw. This is how this all came together.
His dad saw his picture, confronted him, he confessed, and

(39:09):
his dad took him to the police station last night.
That is what is being reported by Jackie Heinrich and
a few others out there. That's how that came about.

Speaker 26 (39:22):
The authorities have already spoken about what an experienced marksman
it took to fire that fatal shot from a distance
of more than one hundred yards away from that rooftop.
The authorities have already given hints that they believed there
was a degree of planning in the method of escape
and egress from the campus, then leaving the rifle in

(39:44):
a towel that they believe is connected to the killing
of Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
So skilled marksmen, we're going to find out why he
did it. Again, it's the why. But Pops turned him
in and that was according to Trump.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
The father convinced the son this is it.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
And again I'm always subject to be corrected, but I'm
just giving you based on what I'm hearing.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
So that's what we know now. I don't know how
much of the motivation and stuff we're going to find
out today. People. I'm sure the online sleuths are doing
all of their due diligence, and that's pretty much what

(40:32):
we know. So they think they're fairly certain that this
is the guy. So twenty two year old Tyler Robinson
taken into custody after he was brought to the police station,
according to several reports by his dad, and I asked

(40:55):
last hour, because there was one hundred thousand dollars reward,
could Dad be eligible for the one hundred thousand dollars award?
Would Dad even take it? If they said, hey, here's
one hundred thousand dollars for turning your son in. I
don't know if he would, but dad did the right thing.

(41:20):
He did, He did the right thing. It's horrible that
you would have to do that, make that choice, you know,
but you don't have another choice. You killed another human being,
you have no choice. You didn't do it to protect

(41:41):
your family or your life. You did it for whatever reason.
Because we don't know, right, we have no idea why
you did it, and that's what everybody wants to find out.
It's always about why at this point in time, and
I touched on the last hour this rise of the
anti hero, and this looks like somebody who would fit

(42:03):
that bill. I'm not saying he is. You know that
he did it because he wants to be the next
Luigi Mangione, But I do believe that there is a
sense of this anti hero I'm here to protect you
and the world from the evils that are out there.

(42:25):
So there you go, you're welcome kind of stuff. And
that's scary because it's not just about politics. We still
that Luigi Manngioni has. Politics are involved in everything, but
that was about healthcare. Politics is involved in But that

(42:47):
guy went and killed the head of United Healthcare. To
be the anti hero, the person that you know. It's
about being the joker, where you will have a group
of people that will celebrate your achievement in stopping something.

(43:15):
And for Charlie Kirk, they didn't like what he said,
they didn't like how he acted, didn't like his beliefs,
and they didn't like so much of that stuff. So
that was their celebration of you are the new anti hero.
You are the person you're v for Vendetta, which is awful,

(43:36):
absolutely horrific. Oh man, So find out little bit more
about him. He was a student at Utah Valley University
and his mother, Amber, works for a company their Support

(43:59):
and Coordinations vises for disabled people. He had some social
media profiles that are out there. Two younger brothers often
enjoy family vacations, they say, sharing smiling selfies, including some
celebrating the alleged killer getting into college. Pops took him

(44:20):
in about eleven o'clock local time last night in southern Utah.
They have a six hundred thousand dollars six bedroom home
in Washington, Utah, about two hundred and sixty miles away
from Orum, which is where Charlie was shot and killed.
Like I said, We're gonna find out more in the

(44:43):
coming days, I'm sure, and there's gonna be a lot
of misinformation and disinformation. Earlier this morning, several different photos
of people they believed in their mind that they had
cracked the case and that this is who the guy was.
After it was announced that he was taken into custody,

(45:06):
and none of them were those people. None of them.
And there was a big thing about que and On
queueing On had caught him, queueing On had done this. No,
Pops caught him, because Pops confronted him. That's who caught him.
Queue it On didn't do it. Imagine what that conversation

(45:29):
is like. Imagine going up to your kid because you
see a picture and you recognize I think that's my kid,
and then calling him out when you see him in

(45:50):
saying did you do this heinous act? So you're looking
at your child and and saying, did you do something?
I raised you? I you, and we your mom and

(46:11):
we raised you. Did you take another human being's life?
That has to be.

Speaker 25 (46:25):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
I mean that is.

Speaker 8 (46:28):
That.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
That's a gut punch right there, isn't it? And could
you imagine finding out that your kid did something like this.
That is also just I think most of us would
be like, I couldn't even imagine that. No, it is
tough to imagine. It is very much tough to imagine. So, uh,

(46:51):
that's all we know. I'm sure we'll get more, and
I'm sure by Monday the story will have changed sixty times. Uh.
You know, they want the death penalty for him. Utah
said that they're going to pursue the death penalty and
all of that I'm sure will come about in quick time.

(47:11):
But by all accounts, they sound like they have the guy.
They're pretty certain this is it. They've got the guy.

(49:26):
Your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more? Buddy Zach Abrahm's going
to join us a little bit. Talk about the economy.
This is the Chadbentson Show.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
The economy. What's going on with it? Well, here's something
interesting about poverty, which is not interesting. It's sad, and
in a country like ours, we shouldn't have anybody in poverty.
One group though, having serious issues.

Speaker 27 (50:00):
Every d eleven thousand Americans blow out sixty five candles.
What used to be a celebrated stepping stone into the
so called Golden years is increasingly a point of uncertainty.
The latest Census Bureau estimate says those sixty five and
up are in the only demographic group seeing a rise
in poverty.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
That's scary, and that's happening more and more. And remember,
it's interesting when we talked to our buddy Zach Abraham,
chief investment officer of at bullwork here coming up a
little bit, but a vast majority of the wealth is
also held by people in that age bracket and above.
So if you're starting to see people switch into that
age bracket now and they're growing in poverty, that in

(50:41):
good thing.

Speaker 28 (50:42):
Inflation nation, with coffee up twenty point nine percent, apple's
up nine point six percent, and bananas up six point
six percent, ground beef up twelve point nine percent, and
steaks up sixteen point six percent.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
And while the price of certain items like.

Speaker 28 (51:00):
Eggs and ham have been moving lower recently, economists predict
the impact of President Trump's tariffs will start showing up
more overall in the final months of the year.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
And that's another thing, because they have no idea what's
going on with the tariffs. So they're going to hear
the case what in November, and if the Supreme Court says, yeah,
you don't have the right to add tariffs, that's Congress's
job that all the tariffs collected what the hell happens there?

(51:33):
Oh yeah, And we're heading into the most important time
for business owners, small, medium and large because it is
the holiday season.

Speaker 5 (51:45):
Tariffs are clearly going to be causing price increases across
consumer goods.

Speaker 26 (51:51):
We think we're going to start to see a lot
of it as you get closer to the holiday season.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
Because toys, that's a big deal right there. You know
that toys and if there is a situation where toys
are way more expensive, people aren't going to be buying toys.
You know what that means? Could be a struggle in
this quarter three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four

(52:16):
to twenty three at Chadbentson Shows, your extra insta, YouTube, Facebook,
and more right here on the Chad Benson Show. One
of the other things that you know, I look at
credit card debt. That's a big deal and that's I
think the other shoe that may drop because so many
people one point some trillion depending on the day, people

(52:37):
have on their credit cards. But car loans. Americans are
drowning in auto loan delinquencies. So the cost in buying
and maintaining a car is incredible. And would we talk
about a couple of weeks ago, it's like seven point
fifty for a payment on a new car. It's almost

(53:00):
five point fifty for a used vehicle. And they're making
the loans longer now that what used to be of
five years now seven years. It's nuts. Life is getting
more expensive and the record number of defaults. People are saying,
is a Canarian the coal mine for a large scale
economic problem. And producer Phil sent me something yesterday about

(53:24):
the cardboard index which suggests the changes in cardboard box
production indicate future trends and consumer goods buying and stuff
like that, and that they're not producing as much. Her
buddy Zach Abraham, chie investment Officer, Board Capital, he's going
to join the program. We're going to ask him inflation, recession,

(53:46):
where we headed. Yeah, this is it's getting interesting out
there people. If you missed any show grad the podcast,
this is to chat Betsy chap.

Speaker 15 (54:13):
Sun Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
The Chad Benson Show is that time of the week.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
We talked to our good buddy, Zach Abraham, Chief bestment Officer,
Board Capital. Talk about the market, talk about the economy, dude,
the economy, my man. I think a lot of people
are nervous and I think they're getting more nervous, and
I think it's hard to blame them.

Speaker 8 (54:57):
So here's the deal.

Speaker 29 (54:59):
You have to to be very careful when you say this,
because you and I both know economies move like Ekg's
what I will say right now is every sign we
are seeing points to stagflation, which is the worst thing.
I will also say that it's not pointing to it,

(55:21):
as in like this is here right now, there's ninety
mile an hour winds outside right now, bar the doors.

Speaker 8 (55:29):
It's right off the coast.

Speaker 29 (55:31):
Not saying that, but when I see inflation threatening to
push above three and then I see jobless claims numbers
like I saw today, those.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
Two things do not occur together very often.

Speaker 29 (55:46):
And as a matter of fact, I don't This is
not gospel, but I would bet you that this is
the most stagflationary signs we've seen in a compressed period
of time, probably since the seventies. I'd have to go
back and comp that, but this is very rare. What
you're seeing right. What you typically see is almost lockstep.

(56:11):
They might be moving. Typically inflation and economic growth are
tied at the hip, right, they're going in the same direction,
you know, and When I say economic growth, I mean
real economic growth, and I think it's important that we
think about that in that way. I think employment numbers
are more important than ever. Why do I say that,
Because when you're in an environment where government's one hundred
and thirty percent debt to GDP and running seven percent deficits,

(56:34):
I think traditional GDP metrics mean less, right, because the
government is becoming a bigger percentage of the overall economy. Therefore,
I actually think that you need to sit and look
at job numbers and probably play them a little bit
more creed creedence. So it's it just looks stake inflationary.

(56:54):
Nothing looks horrible on the data side of it. Prices
continue to push higher, the stock market continues to really
ignore a lot of things.

Speaker 8 (57:05):
That being said, we're having a phenomenal year.

Speaker 29 (57:08):
Uh and and those things make a lot of sense,
not just because they're working, but because we're there at
valuations that are very attractive. Just like I've been saying
all year long, you know, there's a lot of great
stuff out there. You know, gold miners, you know how
I feel about them, Right, Everybody kind of poo pooed
that and told me, oh, gold miners are bad businesses.

(57:31):
You're to dates d X, the gold mining indexes U one
hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
That's that's that's great. I mean that's a win right there.
I mean that is un chief as officer board capital.

Speaker 19 (57:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
I don't think people realize like the whole stagflation thing.
They're like, why is stagflation worse than like a recession? Because, man,
I tell you what, stagflation is running up hill in
quicksand you would rather fall the way down the hill
in a regular hill than try to get up a
small hill in quicksand.

Speaker 29 (57:59):
Yeah, so so stag foot.

Speaker 8 (58:02):
I think there's two different ways to look at this.

Speaker 29 (58:06):
The reason stagflation is not a good thing is that
let's just apply it to our own lives.

Speaker 8 (58:13):
None of us like it when the cost of.

Speaker 29 (58:15):
McDonald value meal goes up, okay, But if the let's
say the cost of a value meal goes up four
percent in a year where you get a twenty percent raise,
that's not You're probably not going to be crying about
the four percent increase on the mid Why well, because yeah,
there's only a sixteen percent delta between the two.

Speaker 8 (58:36):
But the twenty percent.

Speaker 29 (58:37):
Raise applies to one hundred thousand dollars a year or
eighty thousand dollars a year, not three ninety nine. Right,
So you gain a lot there. Okay, Now flip it around.
Let's say your wages are going up two percent, in
cost of living's going up ten that's stagflation, right, Usually
when we see prices going up, I e. The seventies,

(58:59):
and this is one of the biggest things that's missed
with the seventies. Were their policy problems, Yes, whereas their
bad policy by by administrations, especially late in the seventies. Yes,
were there bad policies early in the seventies. Yes, Did
we spend too much on Vietnam?

Speaker 8 (59:16):
Yes? All of these things contributed to inflation.

Speaker 29 (59:19):
But the real driver of inflation was the largest history
in the history of our country, coming into what we
call family formation age.

Speaker 8 (59:27):
Right.

Speaker 29 (59:28):
We had a we had a deer going through a python, right,
And when that dear got to the age of twenty five,
it started to get married, bought a house, have kids.
All of a sudden, you've got this economy that's prepared
for three to four percent population growth, and all that sudden.
Now it's sitting around staring at six and a half seven, right,

(59:48):
So meaning it's going to take a while for the
underlying parts of that economy to catch up to the demand.
When you are sitting there looking at a state inflationary environment,
costs are.

Speaker 8 (59:58):
Going up, but it's not being driven by.

Speaker 29 (01:00:00):
Growth, right, So wages aren't going up, productivity isn't going up.

Speaker 8 (01:00:07):
And so that's the worst of both worlds.

Speaker 19 (01:00:09):
Right.

Speaker 29 (01:00:09):
In a true inflationary environment, I can go out and
get a new job fairly easily.

Speaker 8 (01:00:14):
And get paid more.

Speaker 29 (01:00:16):
In a stateflationary environment, I can't. And in a stateflationary environment,
I may lose my job. So that is the worst
of both worlds. But here's here's what now I'm not saying.

Speaker 8 (01:00:28):
We're here.

Speaker 29 (01:00:29):
Here to me is the scariest aspect in the most
pernicious part of stakeflation. Typically, stagflation is caused by currency
degradation or a breakdown in an economy or a government. Right,
Because one way to get stagflation is to have a
contracting government or a contracting economy in real terms meaning

(01:00:52):
adjusted for inflation, and a falling currency evaluation.

Speaker 8 (01:00:56):
Right.

Speaker 29 (01:00:57):
So one of my fears, the reason I think that
we're seeing stagflationary signs is that we have reached the
end of the runway, or we're very close to it
as far as using monetary policy ie quantitative easing, artificially
low interest rates as a driver, because if you try

(01:01:17):
to push on that now in a stagflationary environment, you
will most likely immediately you may get positive response on
the growth side, but typically whatever feedback you get on
the inflationary side more than cancels it out.

Speaker 8 (01:01:32):
So it's not useful. Right, That's my fear that we
have relied.

Speaker 29 (01:01:37):
We have been hitting this antibiotic, We have been hitting
this painkiller for so long that if the real infection starts,
that antibiotic isn't going to work.

Speaker 8 (01:01:48):
That painkiller isn't going to work.

Speaker 19 (01:01:49):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
I mean, and as you said that, I'm sitting here
thinking to myself. If you're the FED and Trump really
wants you, first of all, you who knows what's going
to happen with the with the tariff, right, and you
know that could just be a nightmare if they rule
against him and coming up in November, they got to
pay all that money back. Boy, that'd be sideways. But
then you're looking and if we're in that stagflation area,
we're getting close to that, like you said, dropping a

(01:02:12):
rate that may we could see, you know, it could
do far more damage and not get the result they
want and maybe even set it back.

Speaker 29 (01:02:22):
And you know what, quite honestly, I really firmly believe
you're there. I don't believe that monetary policy is the answer.
I don't think the issue is that rates are too
high right now, and an economy growing at three percent
would suggest that I'm correct. Now, the tough part about
that growth rate is you've got to see And here's
the thing I hate about modern media chat. You don't

(01:02:42):
hear nuanced discussions like this. Right it's either tariffs are
going to save the world or Trump is trying to
destroy the United States and any like. Somebody should try
to take him out right like that, those are the
two takes you're gonna hear.

Speaker 8 (01:02:54):
The world is so much more nuanced than that.

Speaker 29 (01:02:56):
Obviously, you know there and there are so many cross pressures.
But where I truly think that you're at is that
if you are looking to get this economy going forward,
the monetary policy button, in my opinion, has exhausted itself.
I think Trump needs to earnestly be pursuing the ripping
down and restructuring of regulation. I think that we need

(01:03:19):
to come up with some sort of new deal, and
not in the way that it sounds like, but some
sort of new deal to deal with a combination in
a Britain and a ripping down of regulations that are
driving housing prices higher. I think we need to come
up for some programs with kids that have good grades

(01:03:40):
and figure out ways to simultaneously roll some student loans
into potential home finance without letting them completely off the hook.

Speaker 8 (01:03:49):
Right figuring out ways that.

Speaker 29 (01:03:50):
We can because the other thing that we've got to
say is, and you're watching it right now, you're watching
a surge and socialistic tendencies from younger kids. Why it's
understandable why the Federal Reserve has been at the cost
of every other generation.

Speaker 8 (01:04:05):
And I am not guys.

Speaker 29 (01:04:07):
I know that people listening to your show do not
fit this category. I know my clients don't fit this category.
And every time I bring this up, I end up
taking a couple of them offs.

Speaker 8 (01:04:15):
So let me put that caveat out there.

Speaker 29 (01:04:17):
But if you just sit back and look what has happened, right,
we all know what is known and what is undebatable
is that seventy percent of financial assets are owned by
baby boomers.

Speaker 18 (01:04:27):
Right.

Speaker 29 (01:04:28):
Okay, if we add up total home equity in the country,
it's probably.

Speaker 8 (01:04:33):
North of seventy percent owned by baby boomers. Okay.

Speaker 29 (01:04:36):
When we look at monetary policy over the last twenty
five years, what has monetary policy been aimed at? Almost
exclusively at the elevation of asset prices?

Speaker 8 (01:04:47):
Right, So, really, what we've done is we have racked.

Speaker 29 (01:04:51):
Up the credit card and put it on the tab
of millennials and gen zers.

Speaker 8 (01:04:57):
Right, for the benefit of baby boomers.

Speaker 29 (01:05:01):
Yeah, that's what we've done, right, We have targeted asset prices.
So when these people are sitting there, and I understand
the kids frustration, but when they're sitting there saying we
need socialism or socialistic practices to answer this, I would
tell them corporate socialism is what.

Speaker 8 (01:05:18):
Got us in this mess in the first place.

Speaker 29 (01:05:20):
Okay, what you need to do is you need to
rip down regulation. Guys, if you'll just listen to me, right,
I'm not driving a political ideology. What I'm telling you
is where there is more red tape and more government bureaucracy,
there is more cost.

Speaker 8 (01:05:34):
Right.

Speaker 29 (01:05:35):
We've got to start dealing with things other than using
monetary policy, because I believe we've painted ourselves into a
circle and it is not going to be the driver.
And the tough part about that is the reason monetary
policy has been in the driver's seat is because Congress
can't do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
No, and they never do if talking to Zach Abramchievestment Officer,
Board Capital, tell everybody how to reach you and what
you got coming up?

Speaker 8 (01:05:59):

Atch you've been to shows your extra insta, YouTube, Facebook
and muhr, webroots. Don't leave home without it or better yet,
don't go on the internet without it. That is very important.
So you said about webroots, so you guys hear me
talking about this, and we've been working with them for
a while, and some people are confused. This is about

(01:07:44):
protecting you on the interwebs. The most important thing the Internet,
the web, because your data is there, your life is there,
and you may not even know how much of your
life is there. And if it's not protected, somebody's looking
for it and you need to protect it. Now. They've
got several different plans, but you have an option you
and five devices, so maybe it's just you know, you

(01:08:05):
and a couple of devices you need, or up to
ten devices, ten identities and identities is important. Four million
people saw their information get stolen, but it was already
gone and that's from TransUnion. They lost it. Why third
party comes in, doesn't do what they're supposed to do.
Next thing, you know, there's all your information. Don't let

(01:08:27):
that happen to you. Let web root sort it out
and protect you. Real time protection gets malware, ransomware, phishing
and more, and elderly protection, which is huge. So think
about your parents, right, like my mom needs this big
time perfect to stop predators online searching all day for
your identity, for your life. Up to million dollars in

(01:08:48):
theft related expense reimbursement. Advanced dark web monitoring covers includes children's, students, seniors, dependents,
you name it, they protect it. That's why I love Webroot.
This is what I want you to do. Fifty percent

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
Welcome to cheste No, not the country, the institution. The
Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Good is that time of the program where the youth
of America let us in on some of their vernacular.
Because they put it out there on the Internet. We
can find out what it is. We can decode them,
right or like wind talkers. Oh yeah, that's what we are. Right,
It's like World War two and we've got the Enigma
machine so we can figure out what they're saying. Oh yeah,

(01:09:50):
it's it's time for the urban word of the day. Now,
it's time for the urban word of the day. The
young have a vocabulary all their own, and we break
it down for you. It's called the urban word. Of
the day today's urban word. I saw this and I thought, yeah,

(01:10:13):
this is this is this is ours especially for this week.
Head empty. Head empty used to describe someone if it
doesn't have a lot going on or is just drained

(01:10:33):
and is thinking of nothing and wants to think of nothing. Oh,
it's been one of those weeks where I'm at that
point where I'm feel a little head empty right now,
because man, it's been a week.

Speaker 8 (01:10:52):
Chat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
How you doing? Head empty?

Speaker 6 (01:10:54):
Right now?

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Man? Right now my brain is running a little.

Speaker 8 (01:10:59):
Bit on e That was the urban word of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Now, you know, we do know more. You know, the
better things are in life. As you get older, sure
to realize the more you think you know, you realize
you don't really know. Draining Is that a word you
still use?

Speaker 8 (01:11:19):
Use the word?

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Training? This week has been draining. It has been There's
no doubt about that. It has been training sad, you know.
And we're gonna get into a little bit next hour
about how sad and how disappointed I I am in
a lot of people who are always disappointed to me

(01:11:40):
no matter what. But how we're we're not doing well
for each other. It's at the point where we're in
a relationship where we're like this, this may not work.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four to twenty
three at Chad Benson Show is your Acts, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook,

(01:12:01):

the Chad Benson Show. Coming up, third hour of the program,
Buddy Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research going
to join the program. We're going to talk about, obviously
the events of the week. Top of that, we got

(01:12:23):
our finally Friday sound little what's trending. I'm going to
start the third hour off talking about what's going on
in America. How do we have all of these amazing
rights in this incredible country and our civility is gone,
but respect for one another is gone? And can we

(01:12:43):
ever get it back? I hope we can, but I'm
not sure. I'm not. Third hour of the show. Straight ahead,
This is the Chad Bentson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
This is the Chad Benson Show, the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
So they have in custody the suspect in the shooting
of Charlie Kirk twenty two year old Tyler Robinson, Washington, Utah,
two hundred and fifty ish miles away from Aoram, Utah,
where the event in college was taking place. I guess

(01:13:48):
he was a student there and by all accounts got
good grades. Four point zero he is. It's interesting he
was turned in by his dad. So his parents. His
dad was a cop, mom works for a company. His

(01:14:09):
dad's twenty seven year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department,
and his mom works for a inter Mountain Support Coordination Services,
a contract out with the state to help disable people
receive care. He was a student at Utah Valley. According

(01:14:33):
to Daily Mail, He's got a couple of younger brothers.
They have a nice house, six bedroom, about six hundred
thousand dollars home out there, so thinks Saint George, Utah,
beautiful place by the way. And I'm sure he's got
a footprint all over when it comes to you know,

(01:14:56):
politics or his belief and it may be all over
the place. I don't know. And and here's the thing.
What you'll hear for the next several hours is a
bazillion things, and most of them will be wrong. No

(01:15:17):
I know, Bazilion's not a word. I'm just trying to,
you know, overemphasize. I'm putting mustard on that one. I
know so. And I say that because when they announced
that they had a suspect, within moments, there were plenty
of suspects all over the internet, of which none of

(01:15:40):
them were this person. So Dad saw them in the video.
Dad confronted him, and you would think if he goes
to school there, So what ended up happening is you

(01:16:04):
see the video, he gets down, takes off, walks through
a field, after he crosses the street, gets in the
car and takes off, and I guess drives home and
Dad recognizes him. Dad confronts him, he confesses, and he
walks him in. Last night at about eleven o'clock, So,

(01:16:28):
the FBI had offered what one hundred thousand dollars, and
I'd heard that Bill Ackerman threw some money in and
Robbie Starbuck. I don't know. I think between I think
Akerman's throwing in a million bucks and Robbie Starbuck, I'm
not quite sure. So I don't know if Dad gets it,
which you even want it? Well, now are you talking
to a million? One hundred thousand might be tough, but

(01:16:48):
you're talking about a million bucks.

Speaker 11 (01:16:49):
Eh.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
It's horrible to say. No, it's a horrible situation to
think that you would have to and your son. And
but you also have to then also face the realization
that your son committed a heinous crime, regardless of how

(01:17:13):
you feel about his beliefs Charlie Kirk, regardless of how
you feel about the way that he took a stand,
whether it be about his faith and religion and the
LGBT community or about you know, the civil rights movement
or whatever. Regardless of that he was there on a

(01:17:35):
campus in front of twenty five hundred and three thousand
people ready to have a debate with kids, young men
and women, and you took his life. You weren't defending
yourself and you're not some anti hero. You're a cold
blooded killer. And that's a realization. As a parent, you

(01:17:56):
have to recognize how your lives have changed now too,
because you raised, potentially again allegedly a killer, and that
has got to be also a gut punch. So a
little earlier, the FBI gave a press conference. But this
is the governor, Spencer Cox. He explains what happened, how

(01:18:19):
they took him in the custody. How it all really
broke down and fascinating and sad. Absolutely. This is Governor
Spencer Cox, Utah.

Speaker 13 (01:18:29):
The evening of September eleventh, a family member of Tyler
Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the
Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had confessed
to them or implied that he had committed the incident.
This information was relayed to the Utah County Sheriff's Office
and seen investigators at Utah Valley University. This information was

(01:18:53):
also conveyed to the FBI. Investigators reviewed additional video footage
from UVU surveillance and identified Robinson arriving on UVU campus
in a grey Dodge Challenger at approximately eight twenty nine
am on September tenth, in which he has observed on
video in a plain maroon T shirt, light colored shorts,

(01:19:16):
a black hat with a white logo, and light colored shoes.

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
So they're explaining what happened. I hope you guys are
getting this and we're going to play some of this
because I think it's important when it starts to get
into the breakdown of how this thing kind of all
came together in the fact that he did not like
Charlie Kirk at all at all, and he'd become more political.

Speaker 13 (01:19:39):
Robinson was observed in consistent clothing with those surveillance images.
Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson, who stated that
Robinson had become more political in recent years. The family
member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to
dinner prior to September tenth, and in the conversation with

(01:19:59):
another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
So remember he's a student at UVU, said he was
coming there at a dinner, and this is where you
start to hear how he feels about Charlie Kirk. What
he thinks is the hatefulness of Charlie Kirk, and how
he's becoming. His family and friends said he's become more political.

Speaker 13 (01:20:25):
They talked about why they didn't like him and the
viewpoints that he had. The family member also stated Kirk
was full of hate and spreading hate. The family member
also confirmed Robinson had a Gray Dodge Challenger. Investigators identified
an individual as the roommate of robinsonator.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
And this is where it gets really interesting about the
roommate because they confronted the roommate. And then this is
where you start to realize, oh, okay, this is more than
just a hunch based on what's coming.

Speaker 13 (01:20:56):
As the roommate of Robinson investigator's interview that roommate, who
stated that his roommate referring to Robinson made a joke
on discord, investigators asked if he would show them the
messages on discord. He opened it and showed several messages
to investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the
screen as each message was shown by Robinson's roommate. These

(01:21:19):
photos consisted of various messages, including content of messages between
the phone contact named Tyler with an emoji icon and
Robinson's roommate's device. The content of these messages included messages
affiliated with the contact Tyler, stating a need to retrieve
a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in

(01:21:42):
a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where
a rifle was left, and a message referring to having
left the rifle wrapped in a towel, So where.

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
It's at this is He mapped it out and partially
through lock had gotten through this, but wanted to tell
somebody put some stuff out there. People started to put
one in one together. Was it hard to do?

Speaker 13 (01:22:12):
The messages also referred to engraving bullets and a mention
of a scope and the rifle being unique. Messages from
the contact. Tyler also mentioned that he had changed outfits.
I know there has been speculation as well as to
the writing on those casings, and I'll share that with

(01:22:35):
you now. So the area north of Campus Drive Road
where the suspect crossed over, you saw some.

Speaker 15 (01:22:41):
Of that in the video that we released last night.

Speaker 13 (01:22:43):
Consists of a grassy area with trees. On the edge
of the UVU campus, investigators discovered a bolt action rifle
wrapped in a dark colored towel. The rifle was determined
to be a Mouser Model ninety eight thirty OT six
thirty six caliber bolt action rifle. The rifle had a
scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that

(01:23:05):
had been engraved on casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions
on a fired casing read notices bulge's capital, WO, what's
this question?

Speaker 25 (01:23:18):
Mark?

Speaker 13 (01:23:19):
Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read hey, fascist, exclamation point,
catch exclamation point up arrow symbol, right arrow and symbol
and three down arrow symbol.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
That was Governor Spencer Cox right there talking about how
they came about taking Tyler Robinson into custody. He is
upset about the incidents. He said, he has never been
in this situation that maybe is as upset him as
much as this did. But Tyler Robinson has been taking

(01:23:56):
into custody twenty two years old. His dad confronted him
after several family members and family friends has said that
they thought he had done this. And when he confronted him,
I guess he confessed and he took him into his
dad's a twenty seven year vet took him into the
police station or the sheriff station where he is currently

(01:24:20):
working as an officer. And that had to be just
WHOA tell you what? Man got to get ourselves some healing.
We all need a little bit of Jesus right now.

Sign James Dean, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia.

Sero what trupping?

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
It's fine. I was trending on the web of the
enter in the net on this fry yay Open the
world of Yahoo. Charlie Kirk number one, Prince Harry WNBA
playoffs playoffs, Still looking for that, Karen still the baseball
from the Kid Trump Stroke question mark get a dreopy

(01:27:14):
face at the nine to eleven memorial. I don't pay
that much attention. I gotta be honest, it's just so ridiculous.
NFL staffers and educators are also trending on Yahoo because
several people thought they would say something on how they

(01:27:35):
felt about Charlie Kirk and him being killed and they
were met with a pink slip. Talked about that throughout
the show today. Over to Google, Packers win yesterday the
shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 25 (01:27:56):
Book.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
Consider's a book out there and the published is nine
to nine, which is the day before he was assassinated.
People ask me questions about that. Of course, again, conspiracy
theories abound with everything. On top of that, you've got
Tucker Craft, It's football player Austin Exler Eckler. Finally over

right here on The Chad Benson Show. A hell of
a week, isn't it? No doubt about that? We say
that every week, and it just seems like every week

(01:29:08):
it's a hell of a week. And it's been one
of those weeks that has been started off, you know,
okay ish, and then all of a sudden Israel's bombing
Cutter and then the next thing you know, Charlie is
shot and killed, and it's just been one of those

(01:29:32):
surreal weeks and you think is it. It just doesn't
slow down anymore. It's just NonStop in your face. And
social media I think was a huge part in that.
There is no doubt about that. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show,
is your Ax, your Insta, YouTube, Facebook, and more? We

(01:29:55):
didn't do a YouTube last night. I was exhausted, I'll
be honest with you. I was tapped out. I was like,
I got nothing left. Even my uncle and I, who
normally do a couple of nights a week. He says,
you want to do a show tonight and I said, dide,
I got nothing. He goes, I don't know how you
do it. I said, I don't know sometimes either. I'll
tell you that miss any show. Shame on you. Grab podcast.

(01:30:17):
Our buddy, Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute the Public Policy Research
joined us Straight Ahead, Chat Benson.

Speaker 15 (01:30:22):
Show, Son, Chad Benson Show, The Chat Benson Show, Bad Time,

(01:31:12):
and a wee can talk to our good buddy Jim
Kennedy Kennedy Institute in Public Policy Research.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
We talk about politics, we talk about pop culture and
all this stuff. But obviously, Jim, it's it's been a
hell of a week.

Speaker 6 (01:31:23):
Let's be real.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
You and I we chat pretty much daily, texting back
and forth and stuff, and what took place on Wednesday, it's,
you know, it shocked a lot of people, and this
is this is a different kind of America. I felt
like there was a rubicon and it was crossed.

Speaker 24 (01:31:42):
Yeah, no, I definitely would that in the timing before
nine to eleven. Of course, probably makes it a little
bit worse, but yeah, no, definitely. I definitely thought waking
up Thursday morning that it was a darker America than
it was the day before. And I think things are
gonna get worse where they get better on it. I
don't know what they are. I don't know anything, but

(01:32:02):
I just don't think that this is something that is
going to go away and quickly get swept another rug
and everyone will move merrily along. There are too many
people that had connections to Charlie, to Charlie in turning point.

Speaker 25 (01:32:15):
To basically let this go to many people.

Speaker 24 (01:32:17):
Too many prominent people and people in the media that
basically were involved, were involved with him or knew him
or worked with him, that they're going to want to
carry that torch for a while and whatever happens to
whatever we find out that the shooter was, because it
definitely wasn't somebody that was just up there on a lark,
because that's not an easy shot to make. I would
think from shooting people I've talked to, it wasn't just

(01:32:40):
something I could walk up there. You could walk up
there and do well on a on a whim. So
some people to say that it was a fairly easy shot,
but I from when I've been talking to other people,
it doesn't sound like it was.

Speaker 25 (01:32:51):
Whatever this investigation we see pans out, We'll have to
see how this whole thing goes.

Speaker 24 (01:32:56):
But yeah, it's definitely definitely a week for the week
to remember or week to forget her, you want.

Speaker 25 (01:33:01):
To look at it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
I worry, dude, I gotta be honest that there's going
to be some sort of reprisal, you know, and some
sort of of there's so many people that are angry
and about this, and that's understandable. We're allowing politics to

(01:33:23):
become too much of an emotional, you know, anchor in
our life, and I don't think that's a good thing
for anybody. And it's good that you people have passion,
but there comes a point where we cross it. But
you know, I was trying to tell people and some
people I know that I'm very close to who are
super angry and super that trying to do anything saying
some of the things you're saying, those are completely the

(01:33:43):
opposite of what Charlie wanted. And to do something that
you think that you need to do in violence in
his name is not what Charlie would want it.

Speaker 24 (01:33:51):
No, absolutely not, and that's absolutely the wrong thing to do.
I'm unfortunately going to agree with you and think.

Speaker 25 (01:33:57):
That something like something will probably happen.

Speaker 24 (01:34:00):
Unfortunately, and you know that we will, you know, we
will have a larger problem or larger chasm to cross
going forward with this unless there's something that we get
real lucky with and there's something you know, maybe you know,
who knows aliens could show up tomorrow from outer space
that would probably unite everybody. But outside of that or
the or or what was the twenty sixteen the sweet

(01:34:20):
meteor of death.

Speaker 25 (01:34:21):
Yeah, that was that was looking that was looking like
it might hit us.

Speaker 24 (01:34:24):
Type of situation outside of one of those events, Yeah,
I don't think so.

Speaker 25 (01:34:28):
I think it's like I said, I think it's going
to get worse.

Speaker 24 (01:34:30):
I think there is going to possibly be problems on
either side, and there isn't a lot of Unfortunately, when
I look at the comments on the left, there's not
a lot of self.

Speaker 25 (01:34:40):
Awareness on the left about this.

Speaker 24 (01:34:42):
They just want to go merrily along and they are
still going full on, you know, scary orange Hitler man bad,
and they just don't seem to think that the rhetoric
are constantly vilifying all of your political opponents to the
point where you literally are living twenty four to seven
with them on your mind. Effect every decision you make

(01:35:02):
is not you know, they don't understand that that's really
not a healthy place to be.

Speaker 25 (01:35:06):
And I don't understand.

Speaker 24 (01:35:07):
And you know, I'm sure there's some stuff on the right,
but I don't remember I've never been someone that's been
that obsessed, even as deep into politics as I've been,
where basically I would wake up every morning to the
Obama administration and think about Barack Obama and what a
horrible person he is or what he's done ruin America
today that did was never on my mind. And I
know there's people out there, and I know some of

(01:35:27):
them that basically literally do wake up every day, you
know why?

Speaker 25 (01:35:31):
You know what?

Speaker 24 (01:35:31):
You know, what horrible things is Donald Trump going to
do to America today? And that's something we need to
get past. And I don't know how we get there,
and I don't know what's going to take for the
left to get there, how they're going to basically kind
of wind those people down and bring them back into reality.
And I think that's something that seriously you need to
look at if we're really are ever going to get
this thing back on track, other than waiting until another

(01:35:53):
Democrat's elected and that will calm him down.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
Uh yeah, people need to calm do. I think we
at some point we got to figure out how we
take the temperature down. And I'm not into hyperbole and
I don't say crazy stuff. I mean you know that,
I'm this guy who lives in a world with Hey,
let's have conversation, let's have a good debate, Let's look
at all sides, let's part as friends and a lot

(01:36:18):
of people that I work with, they're the exact opposite.
They want to flamethrow, they want to say stuff, they
want to be agitators. But you know, one of the
things that and I remind them, guys, you do understand
that it's an entertainment industry. First. You got to remember
there's entertainment side of it, and not everybody gets that.
You know what, we're a little bit of professional wrestling.

Speaker 25 (01:36:36):
Yeah, no, and absolutely you do.

Speaker 24 (01:36:37):
I mean you were one of the more calmest people
when it comes to this stuff and rational when it
comes to most of the talking about this stuff. And
you know, I think that's a very important thing, and
I think that bodes well for that. But the problem
is not everybody out there is you, and everyone out there,
especially on radio and television, is you, in fact, because
that doesn't get you clicks and likes and better contracts

(01:36:58):
and more exposure and you know, guest shots on MSNBC
ors Fox News, depending upon whichever you're.

Speaker 25 (01:37:05):
Ill kids, And that's part of the problem.

Speaker 24 (01:37:06):
We're in a situation where social media culture, that's basically
everything is for the last thirty minutes or last thirty seconds,
or the most clicks and likes in your.

Speaker 25 (01:37:14):
Posts, and I don't know how we get out of
this at this time.

Speaker 24 (01:37:18):
I don't know if we're kind of in a tail
spin that's going to take something dramatic or something you know,
where you know, there's some you know, I don't want
to go there takes us to get this out of
this type of situation.

Speaker 25 (01:37:31):
And I don't know where we're going to be, and
I don't know how we get out of it.

Speaker 24 (01:37:34):
And it's a little frustrating because usually I've got pretty
decent answers to stuff, and I don't really have one
for this one. And that's a little you know, it's
going to make me chew on it for a while.
That's a little scary where I just don't see a logical,
viable way to get out of this that's not going
to require that doesn't you know, it doesn't affect the
American society in a fairly drastic way.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
Talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy Institute of Public Policy Research,
Dave Forton, who's supporter of Trump, said a lot of
this is because of Trump not putting the blame on it.
But he says, you know, we he had opportunities after
Butler or to maybe caln some things down. And it
didn't really last that long. Even in his speech, you

(01:38:16):
know the other night when he was from the Oval
office about you know, about Charlie and he you know,
went right to the left wing is this and and
yes he is divisive. And you know, for people on
the right who don't think he is, he's yeah, he
gets a lot of slings and arrows at him. But
he is divisive as anybody else. And it's sad to

(01:38:39):
say that our president's that way, but you know that's
the way he's always been. He kind of likes to
lean into that kind of stuff, but it is, you know,
it is just a time where I look and think, man,
we we need a somebody that's gonna stand up and
go all right, this, this can't happen. This isn't who
we are. We need to bring temperature down. And I

(01:39:00):
don't think it's him.

Speaker 25 (01:39:01):
No, I would tend to agree with that. I don't
think it is.

Speaker 24 (01:39:03):
I mean, then again, the man has been has had
two attempts on his life in the last eighteen months,
so I could see why he might be a tad
bit agitated.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
But the point is as but he was agitated before that,
So well this is true.

Speaker 25 (01:39:14):
Yes I'm not Yes, okay, good point, yes, but yes.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
I mean, come on, Jim, people act like well before
Butler he never was ever he was the mod come
of the Carum.

Speaker 8 (01:39:24):
That's not true.

Speaker 25 (01:39:25):
Oh it wasn't all darn okay.

Speaker 8 (01:39:27):
But no, no, you are right.

Speaker 24 (01:39:28):
And and again I'm not the largest Trump fan. I'm
I have liberal friends that think I'm the largest Trump
sink A fan out there, But basically it's writy Jim.
The todium called because they think whatever Trump does I
agree with, I don't. I would like him to be
more civil. I would like to have been him. Look,
I'm the guy that thought when he went out after

(01:39:48):
John McCain like two weeks into the campaign.

Speaker 25 (01:39:51):
He was toast. Clearly I was not right on that
in twenty fifteen.

Speaker 24 (01:39:55):
But you know what, I would like him to have
more to car I'd like him to be a little
bit more or I don't know, gentlemanly is the right word,
or polite would be the right word. But yeah, I
would absolutely like to have it. But guess what, I
don't think you're going to change an eighty year old
guys way of doing things.

Speaker 25 (01:40:11):
And it's a New Yorker kind of thing.

Speaker 24 (01:40:13):
I think, no offense New Yorkers, And I don't think
there's any chance of changing it.

Speaker 25 (01:40:17):
I think it's just.

Speaker 24 (01:40:17):
Something, you know, we got to write it out, you know,
at least hopefully we'll have a good economy while we're
doing it. I think, you know, it's kind of one
of those things where I don't think we had all
these concerns about the economy right now, we'd be nearly
as bad a position, because generally a good economy makes
all things. It's like in baseball, there's lots of clubhouse troubles.
There's never clubhouse troubles on World champions winning seems to

(01:40:38):
solve a lot of things. Yeah, a good economy will
solve a lot of things. Not that we have a
bad economy. We just kind of have a bumpy economy
right now. In part of it is because of the tariffs.
Until those get sorted out, either through the courts or
through agreements that basically make them go away or reduced
or codified into something that's that's predictable and usable to businesses,

(01:41:00):
we're gonna have a We're gonna have a bumpy economy
going forward. So that's just the way that it's going
to be until those things get started out. So, I mean,
nobody likes uncertainty. The market seems to be, you know,
doing their usual what was it, crawling up a wall
of worry as they call it.

Speaker 25 (01:41:15):
You don't want too good a situation, you don't want
too bad.

Speaker 24 (01:41:19):
So yeah, but yeah, I would like to see him, Yes,
from day one, I would like to have seen him
be be you know, be a more you know, professional
person that was a little bit nicer about what he did.

Speaker 25 (01:41:30):
But he's Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
He is what he is talking to Jim Kennedy Kennedy
Institute of Policy Research. You've got a bad admitted here.
At some point in time, there isn't going to be
a Donald Trump. And do you think the people that
love him, support him, love the fight, love the anger,
maybe weren't as involved in politics and love the mean

(01:41:54):
culture of trying to win one and the people that
hate him when that comments and nominator of Trump, you know, good,
better and different is gone. Do you think we get
back to something of a not not together together, but
we come back to a different place.

Speaker 24 (01:42:13):
Well, you know, we see generally in politics and it's
the same as it in the UK. I think as
it is over here, we tend to you know, we
tend to tire of candidates after a while. We saw
what happened after George W.

Speaker 25 (01:42:25):
Bush.

Speaker 24 (01:42:25):
We got tired of you know, we got tired of him,
and Obama came along. We got tired of eight years
of Bill Clinton and his stuff, and George Bush came along.
We did get one extra term out of George H. W.
Bush after the eight years of Reagan before Clinton came along.
So I would not be surprised to see us move
in a different direction, both possibly within the party. The
question is going to be what reigns of power in

(01:42:46):
the Democrat sorry, in the Republican Party Donald Trump going
to hold Is it going to be the Trump Party
going forward? Though he is going to be eighty and
will be around forever. Are his kids going to get involved?
This is going to become a generational thing. I think
that America is just going to get tired. I mean
Trump is exhausting in many ways, if simply because the
way the Left attacks him and the way he throws

(01:43:07):
stuff out there on a daily basis, you know, like
on Biden, Like I said, you'd get two or three things.
Maybe a week with Trump, you get two or three
things an hour that's coming at you.

Speaker 8 (01:43:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:43:16):
I mean, just trying to keep up on the Trump
news is exhausting. And I think maybe America is said, look,
we went down this path, we had some success with it.
Let's maybe go back to more of a traditional politician.
Now again, if you get jd Vance, what path will
he take? How dependent or how you know, how much
will you have to be bowing to the mega movement?

Speaker 25 (01:43:35):
And but see what the mega movement will be.

Speaker 24 (01:43:37):
Will they go back towards more traditional Republicanism Because the
dams at some point are going to try to figure
this or are going to figure this out and have
a strategy to counter meganism, and we'll have to see
what happens and where it goes from there.

Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
