Speaker 2 (00:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Because we're in the stickhold.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
This is your morning show with Michael gil charm.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
So picture this.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
You're at the kitchen table with a double espresso, a
nice Napoleon, Hey, and the Luctant Colonel comes on radio
to discuss the world affairs, although.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
All the way from Europe by MI.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
What's that like, carafouno, Lieutenant Colonel?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Does anybody else any.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Other station have listeners who actually miss you when you're gone,
that celebrated your return?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
No idea? You know, I stopped doing all. Yeah, I
just I don't want to disappoint folks that don't show up,
So I don't do near as much as I used to.
Just continually bug me.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, well, you're you're traveling a lot and doing great work,
all right, So let's start with the president. The big
story today is he says he's put his plans to
attack Iran today on hold, that he was approached by
three Arab ally nations. As it turns out, it's cutter
United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia that we are very close.
I don't know how many of these. Oh, we got
(01:32):
a good deal, and then it comes back. We want
to own the straight up horror moves. We want to
have a nuclear weapon. We want you to be sorry
and pay for all of our rebuilding. You know how
many pauses does the president have in an already paused state.
Can't take that long for a phone to get over
(01:54):
the ocean, Kennet, We stand by. We're experiencing technical difficulties.
He's there, he still locked in and I just lost
him standby. Okay, yeah, I think he got disconnected. He's
joining us from europe an undisclosed location in Europe, so
this can happen. I'll try to get to the point
when we get him back. Sorry, Big John, you were
(02:15):
all excited to finally hear for the litetic girl and
then he disappears. All I did get a text her
my son who's in Europe. He's headed to London today
to a soccer stadium after golfing yesterday at the Old
Course in Saint Andrew's. And that study abroad. I should
have studied abroad more. Again, if you're just waking up,
(02:36):
Oh he's back, Okay, yeah, we got disconnected. Could be
the ships at sea did not want us to communicate.
I was just going to say, the President put a
pause on the on the bombings in Iran thanks to
three Arab nations that encouraged him to do so. How
many pauses and a pause can a president.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Take as many as he damn well pleases? Because times
on his look two things. One is, you know, has
really accomplished all the key strategic objectives, demolishing the nuclear program,
diminishing the ballistic missile threat, disorganizing the circuits. So everything
that made a row on Trulli a threat to us
is that's gone. So then and it'll take decades to rebuild.
(03:15):
The time is not on the Iranian side. I mean,
they're they have a much bigger problem. We're just waiting, right,
So we're burning some fuel cruising around the bed, but
they are watching literally their economy collapse around them as
as they goes by. And then the last thing is
and you know, I think the President has already made
(03:35):
a determination that the mid terms are not key for him, right,
you know, yes, we all want lower gas prices, and
he wants to deliver on all that, and he will.
But his success or failure is to find what the
world looks like when he leaves his presidency in twenty
twenty eight, not what happens in the midterm elections, and
(03:57):
if he wants to contribute it to the next Republican
because this is going to be a referendum. The twenty
three is a referendum Donald Trump. Doesn't matter who the
candidates are. The best thing you can do is leave
the country in great shape. So the question is is
you know, it's like we we could have stopped after
you know, in Normandy, I mean, once we opened up
(04:18):
the Second Front, we didn't have to fire our way
to Berlin. We could have stopped and the mother lots
of mothers would have loved to see their kids and
not have gas rationing and you know, and had their
loved ones come home. But we we we decided to
finish the job. And you know why not, because because
it was our interest to finish the job and we
(04:40):
could do that. So I think I think the President's
got this. And I have never admired him more as
a strategic leader, you know, just like I had. Actually,
there's the moment I actually admired George Bush was when
he did the searge right because he could have run
(05:01):
away and he failed, but he had a way to
get to a stable rock and he and he and
he and he did that, and he made that decision,
which is actually quite courageous.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
If you tried, if you tried to go the next
step and do regime change, too many boots, too much time, Yeah,
then you couldn't. I mean, here's here, but you could
couldn't you take a next step and secure this train
of horror moves. No matter what it takes at sea
or feet on the.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Island, that's going to happen. One or two things are
going to happen either, and I think this is pretty clear.
Either the Radians are going to make a deal or
the US is going to continue operations until they can
insure safe passage of the Straits. Either with the US
or or coalition capability, and so that's going to happen.
(05:53):
So the question is is how's it going to happen.
So that's a given and all this is going to
happen the next couple of months. And so I I
think the presence made a strong, courageous call and the
long term it's the best interest in the United States
and all his friends and allies around the world. And
I don't I don't know how to say this in
a way that doesn't sound cruel and evil, but this,
in many ways, this is such a blessing to so
many countries who have been living in a fan sea
(06:15):
land that their economies are going to be powered by
windmills and turbines and and you know, and solar panels,
or that they're just going to survive on cheap oil
that only comes from one source and they have no diversity,
and they have no plans for resilient supply chains. Many
everybody's gonna wake up and say, you know, we can't
reluce again. And the biggest thing, which is is people
(06:37):
can whine all they want, but this is not Carter's
energy crisis. When when the OPEC boy did the oil
by cut it ground the global economy to a halt,
and and we've won the verge of global economic collapse
this time. Because the United States is the world's largest
producer of oil and gas, we we were a cushion
(06:59):
that made it. It's painful, but it's not an energy crisis. Now.
Having said that, there's lots of people that were that
need fertilizer, that need sulphuric acid, that need all these
bright products. There is pain there, there's no question about that.
Somebody show me a milk of war where there's not
you know, everything's all benefits and there's no downside. That
(07:20):
just doesn't happen. But this is when you take this
great leap in the dark that they call war. You
weigh the costs and benefits and the righteousness of what
you're doing, and then you try to do the right thing.
And it's not Yes, you should have a good thing
in your heart, but you also have to do it's feasible, suitable,
and acceptable. It's practical, and I think the President's doing that.
(07:41):
I'm proud of its leadership.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano is joining us the whole China summit. Obviously,
Iran is not the same kind of a proxy. I
don't know how much China can stop them. They have
a fourteen hundred year theocratic calling to dominate the world
or die trying. But I think getting China to admit
(08:03):
Iran can't be allowed to be a nuclear nation. Getting
them to admit the straight up horror moved should be open.
Getting a verbal commitment on two hundred planes from Boeing,
ten billion dollars in egg purchases, these are all great signs.
The one question everybody seemed to have and we haven't
really gotten a very good answer of, was what was
in this for China? And the presumption is, well, they
(08:23):
got their relief on tariff oil potentially, I hope it's
not Taiwan. What's the heavy lifting still to be done?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
What was in this for China is they did not
lose face, which is incredibly important to these guys. Trump
could have gone in there and humiliated them and he didn't, which,
by the way, is another form of humiliation. Right If
your enemy knows that you that you can humble him,
(08:54):
and if he knows that you're perfectly willing to humble
him and he doesn't do that, is that is it
selfish humiliation. So why did Trump? Because all the economic
deals are good for us, right and kind of give
me somem the Chinese. They're all non strategic, right, they're
I mean, it's good for farmers and stuff. But but
they're not things that are are like like we're not
(09:17):
giving them you know, all kinds of you know, accent.
Just it's they're just good deals for us, right, and
they were kind of give me from the Chinese. But
why did he bring you know, Elon Musk in the
heads of all these big companies when they none of
them were doing deals, right, There's no what were they
(09:37):
there for? They were at the show. They were just
there to show off. It's like the guy that walks
into a discotheque with twelve you know girls about his arms, like,
you know, Trump walks. Look, I brought like the most
powerful industrials to the world, and they're just hanging with me.
Who you got, who'd you bring to the party? And
they're just there because they're hanging with Donald Trump. I
(09:59):
mean that was I think this was a complete humiliation
for the Chinese, all right.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Not not a Cuba obviously, their their power grid is
down there. They're oil starved. Uh, they're on the verge
of collapse. There are rumors they may use drone strikes
on Guantanamo Bay. I mean, I guess I should ask
you the legitimate question, do they plan to go out
with a bang or a whimper?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Uh, could the president have taken care of something that
dates back to John F. Kennedy as a problem Cuba
as quickly and is unseen in terms of coming on
the horizon as he did Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I mean, where do we stand with this and how
do you see this playing out?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what the strategy is for Cuba.
It's from a from a commitment of national resources and capability.
It's it's a rounding error for the US with incredibly
high strategic benefit because essentially what you had in Cuba
would in addition to the incredible suffering of the Cuban people,
(10:57):
which shouldn't be dismissed in the injustices and everything else. Uh,
and and all the meddling Cuba that I mean, it
was the outposts for bad people around the world, whether
it was drug trafficking, you know, listening posts for the
Chinese military, you know, Russian you know all kinds of
meddling stuff to see that vapors will be uh, would
(11:21):
be really great. So so the weird thing is is, look,
look what's happening around the world. It's and I told you,
you know, we're not seeing the spread of communism. We're
not seeing the rise of Marxism, We're not seeing the
march of Islam. We're seeing the export of all these things.
Like they're literally being kicked out of places. I mean,
(11:43):
you go to many Muslim countries that I could name,
and and I'd say, show me the isis guy, and
they go. If we knew there was an icist guy here,
we'd killed them a long time ago. We don't want
these ugus either. And and so these guys are they're migrating,
you know, much like the Irish left Ireland because there
was no food. All these evil people that I mean,
it's the Marxist They're all migrating. And where are they
migrating to? Where there where there's an open door like
(12:07):
we're we have. We have a bigger Marxist, Communist Islamist
threat in the United States we have in Cuba. It's
just nuts crushing these guys all over the world. And
then where he let you know. I was just talking
to a guy. I want name what embassy was from
or wherever. But he was saying, look, thousands of the
(12:28):
visa fraud of thousands of visa frauds, fraudulent branded. Because
the word came from Washington, you must let it. We
have to let him know Palestinians because the leftist demanded
and so they're letting people in the country completely unvetted
people they know that have no assignum CLM whatsoever, bringing
people in on on non immigrant visas, knowing that they're
(12:50):
just going to stay completely illegal, and and and and
and and literally importing problems. I mean, that's what we
had for for eight years under Obama, in four years
under Biden, and as we're solving the world problems and
then we're letting the world's problems kind of settle in
the United States. That makes no sense. What's right? Yeah,
(13:13):
you have And why just why this is a problem
in the United States and Canada, in Australia and other
places is because the left is losing political power and
so the only way they can keep political power is
doing deals with these yahoos. So you have Greens, for example,
in the UK they're not talking about green energy and
destroying They're talking about your Palestine and everything else. So
(13:36):
people are making alliances with these people. Just stick at
their votes.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
You talked at the very beginning about a president trying
to do something beyond just the moment and for security
in the long term, which you're kind of describing as
the old Kennedy asque for our time and for all time.
The way wokeness just kind of died, The way the
border was secured immediately, the way he handled Venezuela maybe
Cuba's next in our hemispe here, uh, the way he
(14:01):
neutralized the Iranian proxies first the Houthy Hamas has Belah
all crippled, then created the relations with these Arab nations
that will ultimately police the straight of Horn moves with
him really reshaped the entire Mid East without any escalation
with Russia or China. It really is remarkable, pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So the lesson learn here is it's like that you
call the Kai up to the big Lens at the
end of the year and they play a couple of games,
and then you send him back down the minors, and
then next year they come up in their season and
they're ready to be a professional ball player. You know,
Donald Trump had three years and then he went home
and he did his homework, and he came back and
(14:42):
he just kicked ass.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
You could make the case we should probably make every
president before they have a second term set out for
a year sabbatical.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's right. You and I thought of this first. Right,
you must take it to.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Battle the presidential Paul, We've just redefined it. James Carafano,
you saw how the listeners missed you. I know you
can't be here every week, and let me tell you something.
When you're not here. Stephen Bouci does a terrific job,
but there's nothing like having the master at the table.
Thank you for finding time for us. I know it
wasn't easy this week, especially, God bless you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You got it.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
James Carafano read his great work at heritage dot org.
And is Colleiu's great work at heritage dot org all right?
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs, then pulled
back a little bit, So our precious metal is still
a goodbye well. Major banks think so. They'reforecasting even higher
prices ahead. And why because we still have trillions of
dollars in national debt. We still have a declining dollar,
(15:39):
an inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections
along the way, Gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection.
And that's why Morgan Stanley ditched the sixty forty stock
bond portfolio and is recommending up to twenty percent in
precious medals right now. They're getting educated and you should too,

I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa, and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael gil Zono.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Hey Gang. It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Enjoy.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Two suspects are dead three adult victims killed in a
shooting at Islamic Center in San Diego.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
What do we know?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Two teenagers one seventeen, one eighteen, stolen guns from one
of the parents, suicide note left behind, as well as
bolt ss bolts on one of the police cans, and
obviously hate crime inscriptions on the weapons. Whether they were radicalized, online,
(17:32):
mentally ill, what have you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We just don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It's being investigated as a hate crime as we speak,
and the President says he's going to continue discussions at
the behest of three Arab countries who told the President
hold off on bombing Iran today, We'll see how long
that hold remains in hold. They swept their first two
opponents in the playoffs, and perhaps we're a little rusty.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Last night in Oklahoma City.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
They fought excited to overtime, but the Spurs win Game
one of the Western Conference Final and the Sabers got
it over time but then lost three two to the Canadians.
So the conference finals are set for the NHL. It
will be the Carolina Hurricanes and the Montreal Canadians in
the East and the Golden Knights in the.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Abs in the West.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
All right, as I often say, always revealing, often entertaining
ladies and gentlemen, it's time now for the sounds of the.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Day inspired stop it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
God, No, no, it is the motto keep Colm come along.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
All right.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
So what do we know about President Trump and why
he decided to put bombing plans on hold. Well, he
was asked, with many of his department heads behind him yesterday.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Well, other countries have come to me and they've said
we were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow.
I put it off for a little while, hopefully maybe forever,
but possibly for a little while because we've had very
big discussions with Iran and we'll see what they amount to.
I was asked by Saudi Arabia guitar Yue and some others,
(19:13):
if we could put it off for two or three days,
a short period of time, because they think that they
are getting very close to making a deal. And if
we can do that where there's no nuclear weapon going
into the hands of Iran, I think, and if they're satisfied,
we will be probably satisfied. Also, we've informed Israel, we've
(19:33):
informed other people in the Middle East that have been
involved with us, and you know, it's a very positive development.
But we'll see whether or not at a mouse anything.
We've had periods of time where we had we thought
pretty much getting close to making a deal and it
didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But this is a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Now we're ready going tomorrow, very big and not something
I wanted to do, but we have no choice because
we cannot let Iran.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I think in the president's defense, he has this relationship
with these three Arab nations who many would argue will
be the ones helping US police the Strait of Horn Mooz.
Europe talks a good game, but they never show up
Cut or Saudi Arabia, United Arab Memirates. They stand ready
to send ships and if there's some kind of coalition
(20:23):
of boots on the island to secure the Strait of
horm Mooz moving forward. So if they're saying, hey, it's
closer than you think, it's worth another chance. Also in
the President's defense, if there is a way to get
a deal, and when we say get a deal, because
what's a deal worth. Their word isn't worth anything, and
they're not going to give up their fourteen hundred years
(20:43):
of jihad and world dominance calling. But it could mean
releasing those materials without having to go in and get them.
That's worth taking a shot at. But there's a lot
of people that are getting a deja vu feeling and
a little uncomfortable with President pausing, pauses, and we're getting close,
We're getting close, and then when the deal find the
(21:05):
com I mean, I don't know how many times cutter
Saudi Arabia and the UAE can say we're close, and
then the deal that arrives is we want to become
a nuclear company country, we want to control the Strait
of horn Moves it belongs to us, and all this
other nonsense that are all deal lending negotiations.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
So are we.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Close again for the fifteenth time, We'll find out. The
President has told the Secretary of warpete Hex Seth to
be ready to go at a moment's notice.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
All right. I love when.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
You know everything is so in the matrix and journalism
is dead. So it's like you're watching two completely different
realities if you're watching CNN versus Fox, and quite frankly,
I don't depend on either. Both of them are narrative.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
But I love how at CNN you have in the
in the midst of all the left matrix and left narrative,
Harry Enten and these segments he does which shows them
reality in the midst of their narrative.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's fascinating to me.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
And the latest was, all right, well you saw what
happened to Bill Cassidy in Louisiana. Today we have six
states in primaries and all eyes are on Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We're Republican.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Thomas Massey, who crossed the president, is the next to
be targeted. And just how vulnerable is he and just
how dangerous is it to cross this president historically and
by polling.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Harry breaks it down mildly.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
I don't think that Donald Trump likes Thomas Massey. Here
and if you look at the prediction markets.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It looks like they may get their men.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They may get their man.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Look at this chance that Massy is in fact the
Kentucky for GOP nominee. It has been falling considerably over
the last ten days acord of.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
The CASHBRIC prediction market.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Look at this. It was seventy one percent ten days ago.
Look where that number is now, It's forty four percent.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
So chances more.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Likely than not, though it is very close, very close,
that Massy will in fact go down to defeat. But again,
we're just gonna have to wait and see the votes
getting cast in counter because can I.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Just interrupt and just just thinking out loud with all
of you, we all know the problem with polling, right.
The problem with polling is, first and foremost people don't
have home phones. Not to mention, nobody answers them unless
they know who it is, even if.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
They did have one.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And if you're calling their smartphone and you look down
and you don't see the name of someone you know,
you never answer.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That's a problem for polling.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Because if you can't get the people, then you got
to keep going back to the people you can get
and is that really accurate or you got to start waiting,
So poles have become more and more inaccurate as people
are more and more unavailable. Am I the only one
noticing that? The only thing that seems to be the
(24:08):
new poll are these markets, the predictive markets, because you
don't have to call them, you can just watch it.
If the money is now against Massey, is he about
to fall today? I'll let you know tomorrow. But that's
no small thing that Harry is revealing here. On May eighth,
(24:33):
the predictive market gave Massey a seventy one percent chance
of winning this primary.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It's down to a forty four percent chance.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
In ten days.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Never mind polls, predictive gambling markets, that's how you know
what's coming.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
This is quite close.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
But anytime that incumbent member of Congress goes down, he
has done something seriously wrong in the minds of the voters.
And in this case, if Massey goes down, it is
that he crossed Donald John Trump.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Okay, And I think one of the things the prediction
markets might be seeing is what happened a couple of
days ago in Louisiana, where the incumbent Republican Bill Cassidy
didn't just lose, he lost badly in a Republican primary
where the president endorsed an opponent.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I think one of the things that people who are
putting their money where their mounts are seeing is seeing
exactly what Johnny B said, which was saw what happened
in saw what happened in Louisiana on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
And I went back and this.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Is sort of just going back through the archives to
see how bad Bill Cassie did. He got twenty five
percent of the vote.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Okay, I went back and.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
I looked at every single non in pointed, non appointed center.
This in my mind was the worst primary showing ever
at least since the end of World War Two. That
is how Bill cast is how badly Bill Cassie did.
He did worse than every single one, getting twenty five
percent of the vote in a for a center and
(26:03):
a primary. It's literally unheard of. And that is because,
of course Donald Trump endorsed against this guy.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Look, if you can find a different cases this, Harry
looked at every single one and thinks of the worst,
send us, you know, send us, yeah, tweet tweet us us.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
If you is Twitter, still.
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Think I don't know you're exiting us in any case,
So President Trump endorse an opponent here, how does President
Trump do in general when he endorses in Republican primary?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
You know, all right, this you got to listen to.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
What really is Thomas Massey up against a ninety five
percent proclivity?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
He's dead meat.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Listen, Oh, we've quoted the movie Good Burger every single
time basically when we've done this. When in fact, you
go against President Trump, you go on the grinder and
you could just see this. Times Trump endorses have one
in GOP primaries. It's about ninety five percent each of
the last four cycles. Now, I well know, you know,
sometimes he endorsed us and there's no real challenger. But
even in those cases, the challengers to the comment have
(27:01):
won a majority of the time as well. And one
of the key reasons why that is right is you
look at Trump's approval rating within the GOFP twenty first
century own party approval. At this point in term two,
He's still at eighty three percent. That's more popular than
Obama was with Democrats, way more popular than George W.
Bush was with Republicans back in two thousand and six.
(27:21):
So the power of Trump endorsement is still sky high.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Think of that we often talk about we're never going
to see approval ratings of a president in the fifties. Again,
it's just not going to happen. The country's too divide
at fifty to fifty. So now the new health of
a president is where you're at in the forties. If
you're in the low forties, you're mid forties to low
mid forties, you're you're a typical president, low low forties.
(27:47):
Dipping into the thirties, you're having a rough time high forties.
It's a very healthy presidency. But the partisan aspect, Donald
Trump is to the Republican part, but far more than
Barack Obama was even to the Democrat Party, and certainly
way ahead of where George W.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Bush was.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
And all of these numbers point to one glaring fact.
We haven't been experiencing red waves. We've been experiencing orange waves.
And the orange waves and currents are the new red.
This is Donald Trump's party. You mess with the bull,
you get the horns. And if this is true, and
(28:32):
it appears to be, and I'll let you know if
it is for Thomas Massey tomorrow, the president will have
the definitive say. And maybe that's why he's playing apprentice
with JD and Marco. He will have to say, even
after he's no longer president.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define one of them.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Go a little bit closer.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
That was just complete.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Yes, And that's your sounds of the day for Tuesday,
the nineteenth of May. All right, everyone forgets things now

It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Two suspects three adult victims dead following a shooting at
Islamic Center in San Diego.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Mark Mayfield has the latest.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
FBI Director Cash Mattel spoke about the incident on Fox
News Monday night.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
We are not going to tolerate any acts of violence whatsoever,
especially terrorist act of violence based on radical ideology and
misplaced faith.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
One of the victims was a security guard, described by
San Diego Police Chief Scott Wall as heroic and someone
who saved lives.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
The two teenage suspects were later.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
Found dead in a car near the Islamic Center, appearing
to have died from self inflicted gunshot wounds. Police are
investigating the attack as a hate crime, and say one
suspect had taken multiple weapons from their parents' home. Also,
the mother of one of the two suspects said he
left behind a note but did not go over the contents.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I'm Mark Mayfield, the controversial LA detective who said he
discovered the bloody glove in the Oj Simpson murder cases, died.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
The corner in Idaho's as Mark Ferman died from an
aggressive form of throat cancer. Simpson faced charges in the
nineteen ninety four murders of his ex wife, Nicole Brown
Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The trial was watched by millions
of Americans and sparked a worldwide debate over celebrity justice
and systemic racism, with the prosecution accusing Furman of being
a racist. Furman was convicted of lying on the stand
(31:36):
in Simpson's murder trial and later barred from law enforcement.
After leaving the police force, he wrote true crime books,
later becoming a TV and radio personality. I'm Tammy trihio.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Ex is introducing new limits for unverified accounts.
Speaker 12 (31:49):
The social media platform will now restrict unverified users to
fifty original posts and two hundred replies per day. There's
also a limit of sending five hundred direct message daily.
The limits are being put in place to alleviate some
of the strain behind the scenes of the site. X
says the limits may be temporarily reduced when it experiences
heavy sight usage.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I'm at Mattinson. It hurt.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Sabers lost in overtime three two to the Canadians last night,
looking a little rusty. Oklahoma City lost Game one at
home to the Spurs fifteen. Tonight it's the Cavs in
the next game, one of the Eastern Conference Finals in
the NBA. Well, President Trump says the clock is ticking
until the US begins more air strikes out. I run,
how much time is left on that clock that's ticking. Well,
(32:34):
we know it's not today anyway. National correspondent Roy o'neilis
here with the latest. Good morning Rory, Hey.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
Good morning Michael, and we get reports is from Axios
that the President's National security team will be meeting today
to discover a path forward here. As you said, several
Middle Eastern nations sort of leaned on President Trump saying, look,
could you please pause any resumption of attacks on Iran?
We think we're making some progress and getting to a
(33:00):
deal here. The President said he agreed, but made it
clear that the US military, working with Israel, will be
ready to strike at a moment's notice.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Yeah, at some point, you know, we know some of
these Arab nations are going to be the assistance in
securing the Strait of Horrorm Mouves. So they certainly have
a say, we've heard this before, and there's just not
any kind of major ground gain. They're not giving up
their nuclear ambition. They think they own the Strait of
horrm Mooves when they don't. I mean, those are two
that I think Rory have to be addressed and be
(33:32):
different in this next proposal, or I think we can
expect targeted bombing. And I would hope with the emphasis
on reopening the strait. That's all the indications.
Speaker 13 (33:41):
Anyway, because this is having an economic impact on all
the countries throughout the Middle East, not just Iran by
closing down the Strait of Hormus, and you know, affecting
quality of life for the people that live in the
region do as all kinds of businesses have been jammed
up by freezing the strait. So yeah, there is a
lot of growing pre sure to get something to change here.
(34:02):
The status quo really just can't last much longer.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
So the shooting in San Diego, the SS bolts on
the gas can in the vehicle, the hate inscriptions on
the actual weapons, the mother actually calling in my son
left a suicide note. We don't know it was actually
that suicide note, but it may have been an indication
they planned to harm others. Leaving in Camo and a
(34:26):
stolen car with stolen guns was the first clue. And
then it was just a matter of the police trying
to find these teens and unfortunately found them at a
mosque too late.
Speaker 13 (34:35):
Yeah, they were using license plate readers even realizing that
this was a real threat out there. The fact that
this note was there, suggesting the teens were about to
harm themselves maybe others. They went to one other high school,
I think the high school the kids attended. Maybe they
were going there, but instead they focused their rage on
this mosque complex instead, which includes a mosque and a
(34:57):
large school.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Yeah, could have been so much. The kids were all safe.
One security guard in particular, a father of aid who
lost his life being credited with saving many many lives
yesterday in San Diego, and we thank God for him
and his service. Ry great reporting as always, we'll talk
again tomorrow. All indications are we got some mental illness,
we got some online radicalization, white supremacy, Nazi type radicalization,
(35:26):
and it's just unfortunate and who knows where it goes
from here. We'll try to learn more. The suspects have
been identified. They both took their lives, but we'll probably
learn more about what was in that suicide note later today.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
We'll keep it posted tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
All right, one chance to live this Tuesday, May nineteenth,
twenty twenty six. It will never happen again. Cherish it
make a difference in someone's life. We'll see you tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vendheld, Journo
Hey, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live

But so glad you're here.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Because we're in the stickhold.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
This is your morning show with Michael gil charm.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
So picture this.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
You're at the kitchen table with a double espresso, a
nice Napoleon, Hey, and the Luctant Colonel comes on radio
to discuss the world affairs, although.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
All the way from Europe by MI.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
What's that like, carafouno, Lieutenant Colonel?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Does anybody else any.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Other station have listeners who actually miss you when you're gone,
that celebrated your return?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
No idea? You know, I stopped doing all. Yeah, I
just I don't want to disappoint folks that don't show up,
So I don't do near as much as I used to.
Just continually bug me.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, well, you're you're traveling a lot and doing great work,
all right, So let's start with the president. The big
story today is he says he's put his plans to
attack Iran today on hold, that he was approached by
three Arab ally nations. As it turns out, it's cutter
United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia that we are very close.
I don't know how many of these. Oh, we got
(01:32):
a good deal, and then it comes back. We want
to own the straight up horror moves. We want to
have a nuclear weapon. We want you to be sorry
and pay for all of our rebuilding. You know how
many pauses does the president have in an already paused state.
Can't take that long for a phone to get over
(01:54):
the ocean, Kennet, We stand by. We're experiencing technical difficulties.
He's there, he still locked in and I just lost
him standby. Okay, yeah, I think he got disconnected. He's
joining us from europe an undisclosed location in Europe, so
this can happen. I'll try to get to the point
when we get him back. Sorry, Big John, you were
(02:15):
all excited to finally hear for the litetic girl and
then he disappears. All I did get a text her
my son who's in Europe. He's headed to London today
to a soccer stadium after golfing yesterday at the Old
Course in Saint Andrew's. And that study abroad. I should
have studied abroad more. Again, if you're just waking up,
(02:36):
Oh he's back, Okay, yeah, we got disconnected. Could be
the ships at sea did not want us to communicate.
I was just going to say, the President put a
pause on the on the bombings in Iran thanks to
three Arab nations that encouraged him to do so. How
many pauses and a pause can a president.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Take as many as he damn well pleases? Because times
on his look two things. One is, you know, has
really accomplished all the key strategic objectives, demolishing the nuclear program,
diminishing the ballistic missile threat, disorganizing the circuits. So everything
that made a row on Trulli a threat to us
is that's gone. So then and it'll take decades to rebuild.
(03:15):
The time is not on the Iranian side. I mean,
they're they have a much bigger problem. We're just waiting, right,
So we're burning some fuel cruising around the bed, but
they are watching literally their economy collapse around them as
as they goes by. And then the last thing is
and you know, I think the President has already made
(03:35):
a determination that the mid terms are not key for him, right,
you know, yes, we all want lower gas prices, and
he wants to deliver on all that, and he will.
But his success or failure is to find what the
world looks like when he leaves his presidency in twenty
twenty eight, not what happens in the midterm elections, and
(03:57):
if he wants to contribute it to the next Republican
because this is going to be a referendum. The twenty
three is a referendum Donald Trump. Doesn't matter who the
candidates are. The best thing you can do is leave
the country in great shape. So the question is is
you know, it's like we we could have stopped after
you know, in Normandy, I mean, once we opened up
(04:18):
the Second Front, we didn't have to fire our way
to Berlin. We could have stopped and the mother lots
of mothers would have loved to see their kids and
not have gas rationing and you know, and had their
loved ones come home. But we we we decided to
finish the job. And you know why not, because because
it was our interest to finish the job and we
(04:40):
could do that. So I think I think the President's
got this. And I have never admired him more as
a strategic leader, you know, just like I had. Actually,
there's the moment I actually admired George Bush was when
he did the searge right because he could have run
(05:01):
away and he failed, but he had a way to
get to a stable rock and he and he and
he and he did that, and he made that decision,
which is actually quite courageous.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
If you tried, if you tried to go the next
step and do regime change, too many boots, too much time, Yeah,
then you couldn't. I mean, here's here, but you could
couldn't you take a next step and secure this train
of horror moves. No matter what it takes at sea
or feet on the.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Island, that's going to happen. One or two things are
going to happen either, and I think this is pretty clear.
Either the Radians are going to make a deal or
the US is going to continue operations until they can
insure safe passage of the Straits. Either with the US
or or coalition capability, and so that's going to happen.
(05:53):
So the question is is how's it going to happen.
So that's a given and all this is going to
happen the next couple of months. And so I I
think the presence made a strong, courageous call and the
long term it's the best interest in the United States
and all his friends and allies around the world. And
I don't I don't know how to say this in
a way that doesn't sound cruel and evil, but this,
in many ways, this is such a blessing to so
many countries who have been living in a fan sea
(06:15):
land that their economies are going to be powered by
windmills and turbines and and you know, and solar panels,
or that they're just going to survive on cheap oil
that only comes from one source and they have no diversity,
and they have no plans for resilient supply chains. Many
everybody's gonna wake up and say, you know, we can't
reluce again. And the biggest thing, which is is people
(06:37):
can whine all they want, but this is not Carter's
energy crisis. When when the OPEC boy did the oil
by cut it ground the global economy to a halt,
and and we've won the verge of global economic collapse
this time. Because the United States is the world's largest
producer of oil and gas, we we were a cushion
(06:59):
that made it. It's painful, but it's not an energy crisis. Now.
Having said that, there's lots of people that were that
need fertilizer, that need sulphuric acid, that need all these
bright products. There is pain there, there's no question about that.
Somebody show me a milk of war where there's not
you know, everything's all benefits and there's no downside. That
(07:20):
just doesn't happen. But this is when you take this
great leap in the dark that they call war. You
weigh the costs and benefits and the righteousness of what
you're doing, and then you try to do the right thing.
And it's not Yes, you should have a good thing
in your heart, but you also have to do it's feasible, suitable,
and acceptable. It's practical, and I think the President's doing that.
(07:41):
I'm proud of its leadership.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano is joining us the whole China summit. Obviously,
Iran is not the same kind of a proxy. I
don't know how much China can stop them. They have
a fourteen hundred year theocratic calling to dominate the world
or die trying. But I think getting China to admit
(08:03):
Iran can't be allowed to be a nuclear nation. Getting
them to admit the straight up horror moved should be open.
Getting a verbal commitment on two hundred planes from Boeing,
ten billion dollars in egg purchases, these are all great signs.
The one question everybody seemed to have and we haven't
really gotten a very good answer of, was what was
in this for China? And the presumption is, well, they
(08:23):
got their relief on tariff oil potentially, I hope it's
not Taiwan. What's the heavy lifting still to be done?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
What was in this for China is they did not
lose face, which is incredibly important to these guys. Trump
could have gone in there and humiliated them and he didn't, which,
by the way, is another form of humiliation. Right If
your enemy knows that you that you can humble him,
(08:54):
and if he knows that you're perfectly willing to humble
him and he doesn't do that, is that is it
selfish humiliation. So why did Trump? Because all the economic
deals are good for us, right and kind of give
me somem the Chinese. They're all non strategic, right, they're
I mean, it's good for farmers and stuff. But but
they're not things that are are like like we're not
(09:17):
giving them you know, all kinds of you know, accent.
Just it's they're just good deals for us, right, and
they were kind of give me from the Chinese. But
why did he bring you know, Elon Musk in the
heads of all these big companies when they none of
them were doing deals, right, There's no what were they
(09:37):
there for? They were at the show. They were just
there to show off. It's like the guy that walks
into a discotheque with twelve you know girls about his arms, like,
you know, Trump walks. Look, I brought like the most
powerful industrials to the world, and they're just hanging with me.
Who you got, who'd you bring to the party? And
they're just there because they're hanging with Donald Trump. I
(09:59):
mean that was I think this was a complete humiliation
for the Chinese, all right.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Not not a Cuba obviously, their their power grid is
down there. They're oil starved. Uh, they're on the verge
of collapse. There are rumors they may use drone strikes
on Guantanamo Bay. I mean, I guess I should ask
you the legitimate question, do they plan to go out
with a bang or a whimper?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Uh, could the president have taken care of something that
dates back to John F. Kennedy as a problem Cuba
as quickly and is unseen in terms of coming on
the horizon as he did Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I mean, where do we stand with this and how
do you see this playing out?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what the strategy is for Cuba.
It's from a from a commitment of national resources and capability.
It's it's a rounding error for the US with incredibly
high strategic benefit because essentially what you had in Cuba
would in addition to the incredible suffering of the Cuban people,
(10:57):
which shouldn't be dismissed in the injustices and everything else. Uh,
and and all the meddling Cuba that I mean, it
was the outposts for bad people around the world, whether
it was drug trafficking, you know, listening posts for the
Chinese military, you know, Russian you know all kinds of
meddling stuff to see that vapors will be uh, would
(11:21):
be really great. So so the weird thing is is, look,
look what's happening around the world. It's and I told you,
you know, we're not seeing the spread of communism. We're
not seeing the rise of Marxism, We're not seeing the
march of Islam. We're seeing the export of all these things.
Like they're literally being kicked out of places. I mean,
(11:43):
you go to many Muslim countries that I could name,
and and I'd say, show me the isis guy, and
they go. If we knew there was an icist guy here,
we'd killed them a long time ago. We don't want
these ugus either. And and so these guys are they're migrating,
you know, much like the Irish left Ireland because there
was no food. All these evil people that I mean,
it's the Marxist They're all migrating. And where are they
migrating to? Where there where there's an open door like
(12:07):
we're we have. We have a bigger Marxist, Communist Islamist
threat in the United States we have in Cuba. It's
just nuts crushing these guys all over the world. And
then where he let you know. I was just talking
to a guy. I want name what embassy was from
or wherever. But he was saying, look, thousands of the
(12:28):
visa fraud of thousands of visa frauds, fraudulent branded. Because
the word came from Washington, you must let it. We
have to let him know Palestinians because the leftist demanded
and so they're letting people in the country completely unvetted
people they know that have no assignum CLM whatsoever, bringing
people in on on non immigrant visas, knowing that they're
(12:50):
just going to stay completely illegal, and and and and
and and literally importing problems. I mean, that's what we
had for for eight years under Obama, in four years
under Biden, and as we're solving the world problems and
then we're letting the world's problems kind of settle in
the United States. That makes no sense. What's right? Yeah,
(13:13):
you have And why just why this is a problem
in the United States and Canada, in Australia and other
places is because the left is losing political power and
so the only way they can keep political power is
doing deals with these yahoos. So you have Greens, for example,
in the UK they're not talking about green energy and
destroying They're talking about your Palestine and everything else. So
(13:36):
people are making alliances with these people. Just stick at
their votes.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
You talked at the very beginning about a president trying
to do something beyond just the moment and for security
in the long term, which you're kind of describing as
the old Kennedy asque for our time and for all time.
The way wokeness just kind of died, The way the
border was secured immediately, the way he handled Venezuela maybe
Cuba's next in our hemispe here, uh, the way he
(14:01):
neutralized the Iranian proxies first the Houthy Hamas has Belah
all crippled, then created the relations with these Arab nations
that will ultimately police the straight of Horn moves with
him really reshaped the entire Mid East without any escalation
with Russia or China. It really is remarkable, pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So the lesson learn here is it's like that you
call the Kai up to the big Lens at the
end of the year and they play a couple of games,
and then you send him back down the minors, and
then next year they come up in their season and
they're ready to be a professional ball player. You know,
Donald Trump had three years and then he went home
and he did his homework, and he came back and
(14:42):
he just kicked ass.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
You could make the case we should probably make every
president before they have a second term set out for
a year sabbatical.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's right. You and I thought of this first. Right,
you must take it to.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Battle the presidential Paul, We've just redefined it. James Carafano,
you saw how the listeners missed you. I know you
can't be here every week, and let me tell you something.
When you're not here. Stephen Bouci does a terrific job,
but there's nothing like having the master at the table.
Thank you for finding time for us. I know it
wasn't easy this week, especially, God bless you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You got it.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
James Carafano read his great work at heritage dot org.
And is Colleiu's great work at heritage dot org all right?
Gold and silver recently soared to record highs, then pulled
back a little bit, So our precious metal is still
a goodbye well. Major banks think so. They'reforecasting even higher
prices ahead. And why because we still have trillions of
dollars in national debt. We still have a declining dollar,
(15:39):
an inflation that keeps shrinking our savings. Even with corrections
along the way, Gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection.
And that's why Morgan Stanley ditched the sixty forty stock
bond portfolio and is recommending up to twenty percent in
precious medals right now. They're getting educated and you should too,

but glad you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Enjoy.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Two suspects are dead three adult victims killed in a
shooting at Islamic Center in San Diego.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
What do we know?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Two teenagers one seventeen, one eighteen, stolen guns from one
of the parents, suicide note left behind, as well as
bolt ss bolts on one of the police cans, and
obviously hate crime inscriptions on the weapons. Whether they were radicalized, online,
(17:32):
mentally ill, what have you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We just don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It's being investigated as a hate crime as we speak,
and the President says he's going to continue discussions at
the behest of three Arab countries who told the President
hold off on bombing Iran today, We'll see how long
that hold remains in hold. They swept their first two
opponents in the playoffs, and perhaps we're a little rusty.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Last night in Oklahoma City.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
They fought excited to overtime, but the Spurs win Game
one of the Western Conference Final and the Sabers got
it over time but then lost three two to the Canadians.
So the conference finals are set for the NHL. It
will be the Carolina Hurricanes and the Montreal Canadians in
the East and the Golden Knights in the.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Abs in the West.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
All right, as I often say, always revealing, often entertaining
ladies and gentlemen, it's time now for the sounds of the.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Day inspired stop it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
God, No, no, it is the motto keep Colm come along.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
All right.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
So what do we know about President Trump and why
he decided to put bombing plans on hold. Well, he
was asked, with many of his department heads behind him yesterday.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Well, other countries have come to me and they've said
we were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow.
I put it off for a little while, hopefully maybe forever,
but possibly for a little while because we've had very
big discussions with Iran and we'll see what they amount to.
I was asked by Saudi Arabia guitar Yue and some others,
(19:13):
if we could put it off for two or three days,
a short period of time, because they think that they
are getting very close to making a deal. And if
we can do that where there's no nuclear weapon going
into the hands of Iran, I think, and if they're satisfied,
we will be probably satisfied. Also, we've informed Israel, we've
(19:33):
informed other people in the Middle East that have been
involved with us, and you know, it's a very positive development.
But we'll see whether or not at a mouse anything.
We've had periods of time where we had we thought
pretty much getting close to making a deal and it
didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But this is a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Now we're ready going tomorrow, very big and not something
I wanted to do, but we have no choice because
we cannot let Iran.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I think in the president's defense, he has this relationship
with these three Arab nations who many would argue will
be the ones helping US police the Strait of Horn Mooz.
Europe talks a good game, but they never show up
Cut or Saudi Arabia, United Arab Memirates. They stand ready
to send ships and if there's some kind of coalition
(20:23):
of boots on the island to secure the Strait of
horm Mooz moving forward. So if they're saying, hey, it's
closer than you think, it's worth another chance. Also in
the President's defense, if there is a way to get
a deal, and when we say get a deal, because
what's a deal worth. Their word isn't worth anything, and
they're not going to give up their fourteen hundred years
(20:43):
of jihad and world dominance calling. But it could mean
releasing those materials without having to go in and get them.
That's worth taking a shot at. But there's a lot
of people that are getting a deja vu feeling and
a little uncomfortable with President pausing, pauses, and we're getting close,
We're getting close, and then when the deal find the
(21:05):
com I mean, I don't know how many times cutter
Saudi Arabia and the UAE can say we're close, and
then the deal that arrives is we want to become
a nuclear company country, we want to control the Strait
of horn Moves it belongs to us, and all this
other nonsense that are all deal lending negotiations.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
So are we.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Close again for the fifteenth time, We'll find out. The
President has told the Secretary of warpete Hex Seth to
be ready to go at a moment's notice.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
All right. I love when.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
You know everything is so in the matrix and journalism
is dead. So it's like you're watching two completely different
realities if you're watching CNN versus Fox, and quite frankly,
I don't depend on either. Both of them are narrative.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
But I love how at CNN you have in the
in the midst of all the left matrix and left narrative,
Harry Enten and these segments he does which shows them
reality in the midst of their narrative.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's fascinating to me.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
And the latest was, all right, well you saw what
happened to Bill Cassidy in Louisiana. Today we have six
states in primaries and all eyes are on Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We're Republican.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Thomas Massey, who crossed the president, is the next to
be targeted. And just how vulnerable is he and just
how dangerous is it to cross this president historically and
by polling.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Harry breaks it down mildly.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
I don't think that Donald Trump likes Thomas Massey. Here
and if you look at the prediction markets.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It looks like they may get their men.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They may get their man.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Look at this chance that Massy is in fact the
Kentucky for GOP nominee. It has been falling considerably over
the last ten days acord of.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
The CASHBRIC prediction market.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Look at this. It was seventy one percent ten days ago.
Look where that number is now, It's forty four percent.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
So chances more.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
Likely than not, though it is very close, very close,
that Massy will in fact go down to defeat. But again,
we're just gonna have to wait and see the votes
getting cast in counter because can I.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Just interrupt and just just thinking out loud with all
of you, we all know the problem with polling, right.
The problem with polling is, first and foremost people don't
have home phones. Not to mention, nobody answers them unless
they know who it is, even if.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
They did have one.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And if you're calling their smartphone and you look down
and you don't see the name of someone you know,
you never answer.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That's a problem for polling.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Because if you can't get the people, then you got
to keep going back to the people you can get
and is that really accurate or you got to start waiting,
So poles have become more and more inaccurate as people
are more and more unavailable. Am I the only one
noticing that? The only thing that seems to be the
(24:08):
new poll are these markets, the predictive markets, because you
don't have to call them, you can just watch it.
If the money is now against Massey, is he about
to fall today? I'll let you know tomorrow. But that's
no small thing that Harry is revealing here. On May eighth,
(24:33):
the predictive market gave Massey a seventy one percent chance
of winning this primary.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It's down to a forty four percent chance.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
In ten days.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Never mind polls, predictive gambling markets, that's how you know
what's coming.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
This is quite close.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
But anytime that incumbent member of Congress goes down, he
has done something seriously wrong in the minds of the voters.
And in this case, if Massey goes down, it is
that he crossed Donald John Trump.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Okay, And I think one of the things the prediction
markets might be seeing is what happened a couple of
days ago in Louisiana, where the incumbent Republican Bill Cassidy
didn't just lose, he lost badly in a Republican primary
where the president endorsed an opponent.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I think one of the things that people who are
putting their money where their mounts are seeing is seeing
exactly what Johnny B said, which was saw what happened
in saw what happened in Louisiana on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
And I went back and this.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Is sort of just going back through the archives to
see how bad Bill Cassie did. He got twenty five
percent of the vote.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Okay, I went back and.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
I looked at every single non in pointed, non appointed center.
This in my mind was the worst primary showing ever
at least since the end of World War Two. That
is how Bill cast is how badly Bill Cassie did.
He did worse than every single one, getting twenty five
percent of the vote in a for a center and
(26:03):
a primary. It's literally unheard of. And that is because,
of course Donald Trump endorsed against this guy.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Look, if you can find a different cases this, Harry
looked at every single one and thinks of the worst,
send us, you know, send us, yeah, tweet tweet us us.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
If you is Twitter, still.
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Think I don't know you're exiting us in any case,
So President Trump endorse an opponent here, how does President
Trump do in general when he endorses in Republican primary?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
You know, all right, this you got to listen to.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
What really is Thomas Massey up against a ninety five
percent proclivity?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
He's dead meat.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Listen, Oh, we've quoted the movie Good Burger every single
time basically when we've done this. When in fact, you
go against President Trump, you go on the grinder and
you could just see this. Times Trump endorses have one
in GOP primaries. It's about ninety five percent each of
the last four cycles. Now, I well know, you know,
sometimes he endorsed us and there's no real challenger. But
even in those cases, the challengers to the comment have
(27:01):
won a majority of the time as well. And one
of the key reasons why that is right is you
look at Trump's approval rating within the GOFP twenty first
century own party approval. At this point in term two,
He's still at eighty three percent. That's more popular than
Obama was with Democrats, way more popular than George W.
Bush was with Republicans back in two thousand and six.
(27:21):
So the power of Trump endorsement is still sky high.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Think of that we often talk about we're never going
to see approval ratings of a president in the fifties. Again,
it's just not going to happen. The country's too divide
at fifty to fifty. So now the new health of
a president is where you're at in the forties. If
you're in the low forties, you're mid forties to low
mid forties, you're you're a typical president, low low forties.
(27:47):
Dipping into the thirties, you're having a rough time high forties.
It's a very healthy presidency. But the partisan aspect, Donald
Trump is to the Republican part, but far more than
Barack Obama was even to the Democrat Party, and certainly
way ahead of where George W.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Bush was.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
And all of these numbers point to one glaring fact.
We haven't been experiencing red waves. We've been experiencing orange waves.
And the orange waves and currents are the new red.
This is Donald Trump's party. You mess with the bull,
you get the horns. And if this is true, and
(28:32):
it appears to be, and I'll let you know if
it is for Thomas Massey tomorrow, the president will have
the definitive say. And maybe that's why he's playing apprentice
with JD and Marco. He will have to say, even
after he's no longer president.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
I don't think we should be taking the advice from
a group of people who can't define one of them.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Go a little bit closer.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
That was just complete.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Yes, And that's your sounds of the day for Tuesday,
the nineteenth of May. All right, everyone forgets things now

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Two suspects three adult victims dead following a shooting at
Islamic Center in San Diego.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Mark Mayfield has the latest.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
FBI Director Cash Mattel spoke about the incident on Fox
News Monday night.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
We are not going to tolerate any acts of violence whatsoever,
especially terrorist act of violence based on radical ideology and
misplaced faith.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
One of the victims was a security guard, described by
San Diego Police Chief Scott Wall as heroic and someone
who saved lives.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
The two teenage suspects were later.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
Found dead in a car near the Islamic Center, appearing
to have died from self inflicted gunshot wounds. Police are
investigating the attack as a hate crime, and say one
suspect had taken multiple weapons from their parents' home. Also,
the mother of one of the two suspects said he
left behind a note but did not go over the contents.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I'm Mark Mayfield, the controversial LA detective who said he
discovered the bloody glove in the Oj Simpson murder cases, died.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
The corner in Idaho's as Mark Ferman died from an
aggressive form of throat cancer. Simpson faced charges in the
nineteen ninety four murders of his ex wife, Nicole Brown
Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The trial was watched by millions
of Americans and sparked a worldwide debate over celebrity justice
and systemic racism, with the prosecution accusing Furman of being
a racist. Furman was convicted of lying on the stand
(31:36):
in Simpson's murder trial and later barred from law enforcement.
After leaving the police force, he wrote true crime books,
later becoming a TV and radio personality. I'm Tammy trihio.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Ex is introducing new limits for unverified accounts.
Speaker 12 (31:49):
The social media platform will now restrict unverified users to
fifty original posts and two hundred replies per day. There's
also a limit of sending five hundred direct message daily.
The limits are being put in place to alleviate some
of the strain behind the scenes of the site. X
says the limits may be temporarily reduced when it experiences
heavy sight usage.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I'm at Mattinson. It hurt.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Sabers lost in overtime three two to the Canadians last night,
looking a little rusty. Oklahoma City lost Game one at
home to the Spurs fifteen. Tonight it's the Cavs in
the next game, one of the Eastern Conference Finals in
the NBA. Well, President Trump says the clock is ticking
until the US begins more air strikes out. I run,
how much time is left on that clock that's ticking. Well,
(32:34):
we know it's not today anyway. National correspondent Roy o'neilis
here with the latest. Good morning Rory, Hey.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
Good morning Michael, and we get reports is from Axios
that the President's National security team will be meeting today
to discover a path forward here. As you said, several
Middle Eastern nations sort of leaned on President Trump saying, look,
could you please pause any resumption of attacks on Iran?
We think we're making some progress and getting to a
(33:00):
deal here. The President said he agreed, but made it
clear that the US military, working with Israel, will be
ready to strike at a moment's notice.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Yeah, at some point, you know, we know some of
these Arab nations are going to be the assistance in
securing the Strait of Horrorm Mouves. So they certainly have
a say, we've heard this before, and there's just not
any kind of major ground gain. They're not giving up
their nuclear ambition. They think they own the Strait of
horrm Mooves when they don't. I mean, those are two
that I think Rory have to be addressed and be
(33:32):
different in this next proposal, or I think we can
expect targeted bombing. And I would hope with the emphasis
on reopening the strait. That's all the indications.
Speaker 13 (33:41):
Anyway, because this is having an economic impact on all
the countries throughout the Middle East, not just Iran by
closing down the Strait of Hormus, and you know, affecting
quality of life for the people that live in the
region do as all kinds of businesses have been jammed
up by freezing the strait. So yeah, there is a
lot of growing pre sure to get something to change here.
(34:02):
The status quo really just can't last much longer.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
So the shooting in San Diego, the SS bolts on
the gas can in the vehicle, the hate inscriptions on
the actual weapons, the mother actually calling in my son
left a suicide note. We don't know it was actually
that suicide note, but it may have been an indication
they planned to harm others. Leaving in Camo and a
(34:26):
stolen car with stolen guns was the first clue. And
then it was just a matter of the police trying
to find these teens and unfortunately found them at a
mosque too late.
Speaker 13 (34:35):
Yeah, they were using license plate readers even realizing that
this was a real threat out there. The fact that
this note was there, suggesting the teens were about to
harm themselves maybe others. They went to one other high school,
I think the high school the kids attended. Maybe they
were going there, but instead they focused their rage on
this mosque complex instead, which includes a mosque and a
(34:57):
large school.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Yeah, could have been so much. The kids were all safe.
One security guard in particular, a father of aid who
lost his life being credited with saving many many lives
yesterday in San Diego, and we thank God for him
and his service. Ry great reporting as always, we'll talk
again tomorrow. All indications are we got some mental illness,
we got some online radicalization, white supremacy, Nazi type radicalization,
(35:26):
and it's just unfortunate and who knows where it goes
from here. We'll try to learn more. The suspects have
been identified. They both took their lives, but we'll probably
learn more about what was in that suicide note later today.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
We'll keep it posted tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
All right, one chance to live this Tuesday, May nineteenth,
twenty twenty six. It will never happen again. Cherish it
make a difference in someone's life. We'll see you tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
