He's in Budapest joins us momentarily, but first, can't have
(01:04):
your morning show without your voice. This is Jim and
Nashville on the talkback Line.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Michael loved the show.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
What was disturbing about the.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Press conference yesterday was all the praise about my Orcists.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That was kind of disturbing. Yeah, and then I got
you for all the information you provide A great day.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh, I will thank you, Rix becoming one of my
favorite listeners to. Rick wrote, good morning, Michael. I thought
it was I was watching with a matrix die yesterday.
When I saw the news conference and heard Joe Biden's
name several times, I felt, as you did, that sometime
something was a miss and that this was being made
very political. Thank you for affirming that what I'm when
(01:46):
I'm seeing things. It was a discerning moment. Now listen
when the news conference began and I heard that because
the one the first gentleman said we're going to be
hearing from the FBI field agent, We're going to be
hearing from the Secret Service that, oh well, that's interesting.
Secret Service was a no show in the first assassination
any of the news conferences, and I think we known
(02:06):
why now they weren't going to make that mistake a
second time, So, I mean, I did have that kind
of predisposed bias.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
But other than that, then I.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was just listening and I kept hearing them bring up
by it just it just reaked to cover your butt,
which could be natural knowing that a report's going to
come out very soon showing just how poorly they performed
in Pennsylvania or was it something even worse? My you
know what detector was going off throughout the news conference,
and I thought I was crazy. So for Rick and
(02:35):
for Jim, you're helping me. I feel crazy. Enter Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano. Does a second assassination attempt change our
assessment of security in general? Are we getting the conversation
right to get the solution right?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
How does this change things?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
You know, copycats are not unusual, and you know, if
you remember, we had a kind of a spate of
assassinations in the sixties with JFK and we had Bobby Martin,
so it's almost like this. So it is something that
once this thing happens, you do have to be worried
(03:18):
about it escalating. It's like, you know, it's like these
bogus bomb threats right yet one and then they tend
to become an academic. Then they tend to get a
bunch of them. So yeah, I mean the security dynamic
has changed significantly.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Secret Service been around for a long time.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
They pride themselves on doing the most for little, although
defined little little compared to what we said to Ukraine. Maybe,
but it's still a significant budget. Are we missing something
if we think that the only thing here that we're
dealing with is lack of resources for Secret Service?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't think so. Look, you know, I said, this
only showed me for these last two assassination attempts, and
you know, and you know me, I'm the Akham's razor
guy for people aren't familiar with that. It's like the
simplest explanation, given the facts you have, is usually the best, right,
So I go with the and if facts change, I
(04:17):
changed my mind. You know, we have this conversation about
COVID and I said, yeah, it could be zynon, it
could be a natural thing. You know. Then we got
additional facts which showed that no, there's actual evidence here
that says that this, you know, probably came from the lab.
I to me, it seems like too crazy yahoos. But
if additional not not not theories, not assumptions, but actual
(04:40):
facts come out to change that mine. But but if
it is too yahoos, here's what we know. This is
exactly the kind of attacks that the Secret Service is
designed to prevent. It's it's not Tom Cruise emission impossible
or you know some exotic carlos that it is idiots
(05:03):
who decide for themselves. They're going to change history and
get a guy and go shoot a prominent figure. So
these guys fit exactly the profile and exactly the kinds
of attacks that the Secret Service is supposed to guard against.
As a notion that somehow lack of resources the problem
(05:24):
is is ridiculously inexcusable. I mean, the Secret Service always
has the card where they can go into their boss
and say, if I don't have the resources to do this,
this person is at risk and they can say that publicly.
So I don't buy that. I don't I think it is.
It is poor. It is consistently poor operational practice and
(05:48):
leadership on the part of the Secret Service. That's that's
my takeaway from these two things.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us from Budapest, this morning
with their weekly National Security briefing. I got to tell
you watching that news conference yesterday, especially the Secret Service portion,
and it could be as simple as a bad report's
coming out. Uh, there was dereliction of duty in Pennsylvania.
So cover your rear end on this one and celebrate
your achievement. I get that, But it just got so
(06:14):
over the top. I started getting suspicious.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Very very, very very political. I mean no, I'm telling you,
it was so over the top. I'm thinking, did they
stage this so they could have this narrative before this
report comes out. That's and I'm not suggesting that, I'm
just saying.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's how I get that. But no, yeah, that guy
should have never got that close. No, I mean nobody,
nobody should ever get Can I do one better?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Can I do you one better?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Because yeah, because literally he finishes the fifth hole and
he comes up the sixth, he's walking right into the
barrel of the gun, all right. So, and it took
just half a hole before they caught him, and there
was nobody sweeping the perimeter where you would have seen
him for twelve hours camped out.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But I'll do you one even better. Here's a guy that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Had a weapon of mass destruction arrest in two thousand
and two. Maybe we shouldn't be tracking and harassing Tulsea
Gabbard's travel and wherever this guy is based on that
and a horse in his living room, you know, we
ought to know what he's ever in the same state
of a presidential candidate as well.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But I digress.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I think, yeah, I mean, look, it's another failure on
the part of the Secret Service. It's just it's actually true.
And you know, then if you start to think this
is systemic, and I do think there are systemic weaknesses
in the Secret Service, and I'll tell you something else.
I think this is the last four years. I don't
(07:42):
think that this is the Secret Service of four years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, that we would need some hard facts to prove.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I can tell you that the two incidents we've had,
we're both pointed at Donald Trump and not Joe Biden,
well and not Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Know that should lead us to a discussion of why.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Well, I look, I mean, I having somebody that you know,
observed the operation and activities of the Secret Service over
the four years of Donald Trump, including public events at
the White House, you know, we had Secret Service coming
to Heritage because we have foreign dignitaries and they come
and they do sweeps and everything else. And this when
(08:28):
I hear what's going on. I mean, obviously I'm not
the witness of this stuff, but just hearing the reports,
this is not the Secret Service I remember from four
years ago. It is happened in the leadership and and
management of this agency. And you know, I know, I
know why let me jump into people that you know,
(08:49):
go ahead, Sorry, no, I was just gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Say, I know why you're stumbling, and I know why
you're pausing. I've been stumbling and pausing all morning. That
first one in Pennsylvania reminded me of all because, let's
face it, Oliver Stone's JFK was every conspiracy theory wrapped
in won and made a movie out of him. Smart
way to make a movie, not an accurate way to
understand what happened. But you know, that one in Pennsylvania
looked like they were trying to pull off some kind
(09:12):
of a nineteen sixty three hit job by the government
in twenty twenty four where everybody's got a phone.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I mean, it was just like it was like ridiculous.
The performance was so bad in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
If you were going to, you know, actively collude in
the assassination of a president, I would just think it
would be much smarter and less stupid.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, I know, I'm not suggesting it was. I'm just
saying that's how bad the performance was.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
No, there's actually a really good Heritage had a really
good event on this. They had in some professional experts.
They did a kind of almost as you know, like
a you know, a panel of witnesses kind of thing
kind of and it was really super interesting formative. Again,
if somebody said, you have the facts laid before you, what,
(10:05):
in addition to the fact that you see these really
compelling operational flaws in two incidents, what could you determine
from this? And what I would determine is you literally
have a leadership of the Secret Service who doesn't care
about protecting cousins candidate because he's not their guy.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's another way of saying that.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
So that's because you know, yeah, but you know, I
wouldn't if that was a conclusion, I wouldn't be you know,
shocked in surprise.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Well, according according to Senator Bloomberg, I was just gonna say.
According to a senator from Connecticut. We're going to be
shocked and appalled when this report comes out on Pennsylvania.
We were a long way from getting report on Florida.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
We I mean, look, you.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Know, look for example Afghanistan, where the withdrawal was literally
it was a government who implemented a policy that says,
we don't care of this failure. We don't think we're
going to be held accountable for it. I'm they've done
it on an energy policy, They've done other things, and
so they have a track record of literally not caring.
(11:14):
I could see I could see a person in the
Secret Service being called on the carpet by the by
the Biden White House saying, why are you so obsessed
about security for Donald Trump? What's your problem? I can
see that happening.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
There's also a lot of there's also a lot of
hiding behind the uniqueness of a former president that's also
a leading candidate to be president again, and they've never
faced that before. Well, guess what, you've known that for
about seven months now. You should have factored that in
the dehumanization, the calling them a dictator, a hitler, a
threat to democracy, all of that inflaming rhetoric that's a
(11:54):
part of it. Whatever the conditions throw at them, they've
got to find a way to secure them. We're down
to one minute. You're in Budapest. I want to ask
you about these bomb threats. The Ohio governor, who I'm
not a fan of, Mike DeWine, comes out and says,
not only are these fake bomb threats coming in, they're
not even from this country.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
This is foreign meddling again, right.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Right, And you know it's honestly, it's you know, completely
irresponsible of the governor and other people to be blaming
you know, you know, Trump and Vans and for these
bomb threats. I mean, this is nonsensically stupid. You never
do first of all, you never do that. That just
encourages more of them. And the fact that you're you're
(12:36):
literally doing what they want, which is the people who
are calling you the bomb threats want you to politically
attack Vans and Trump. All that's going to do is
encourage more of these stupid bomb threats. It was an
act of public safety irresponsibility. You don't want to encourage
people to make bomb threats. If somebody makes a bomb threat,
you say, this is scary, This is an excusable We're
going to track these people down and punish them. You
(12:56):
don't want to give them a reason to do more
bomb threats because you're literally carrying their water for them.
So it's not it's only bad politics, which is incredibly
bad politics. It is really really bad public safety.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I can't say it any better than that. There's a
little bit of a delay, and it makes it sound
like I'm interrupting. I keep waiting for you to pause,
and then you're just getting ready to say something else,
and then I jump in.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I want to say something very serious.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
This is what I think is the most respected military
and foreign policy mind in America today, and he's in
Budapest doing very serious business, and he still finds time
for us in.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Our show at your morning show for that. I'm eternally grateful.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Secondly, I just like to say, Jeffrey would like to
because of your travels, we're thinking maybe we could get
T shirts, like my lieutenant colonel was in Budapest and
all I got.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Was this lousy T shirt.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, or perhaps you know, share some frequent flyer miles.
But no, we were going to make some jokes about
what's going on in Budapest in ten seconds or less.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So I'm actually doing like a whole series of conferences
here at Yeah. One of the things I try to
do is connect conservatives all over the world together so
they can have honest dialogue and discussions on that telling
people what to think, how to think, you know, who
to vote for, what policies have. But but people need
to have an opportunity to talk with each other. We're
going if I can, I can facilitate by having I'm
happy to do it.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I appreciate you joining us for Budapest.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
We'll talk about family, safe travels. We'll talk to you again,
hopefully from the United States next week.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Chrono on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app
on Michael del Jarno. Jeffrey Lyon has the controls. If
you're just waking up. Former President Trump is blaming the rhetoric,
and I think I get why. There's been two assassination
attempts in the past two months, and both times it
rained at him. The same guy that on the campaign
trail and the debate has been dehumanized, called a monster,
(14:48):
a dictator, a hitler, a threat to democracy. Yeah, that
may have something to do with it, although I will
say this particular individual seemed to be very obsessed with Ukraine.
But that applies to when you position President Trump as
somehow a friend of Putin's for Russia and against Ukraine,
(15:08):
when all the presidents said is if I was president,
this wouldn't have happened. Putin would have never invaded. And
I'll give you this assurance. If I'm re elected, before
even take the oath of office, I'll have this over with.
But that could be certainly perceived by a nutt and
a madman as opposition to Ukraine. Hip hop mogul Sean P.
Diddy Combs has been arrested. We presume it has to
(15:29):
do with the sex trafficking charges, but the indictment is
sealed and the charges have not been announced. And the
Falcon shocked everybody beating Eagles last night twenty one to
twenty on Monday Night football.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And here's a pretty big story.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The Biden Harris administration has announced new regulations aimed at
Chinese e commerce giants.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Does that include TikTok.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
The one they're on or just sheen t move and
the other ones that our teens are shopping from Aaron
Rayal has that reality for us this morning.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Good morning, Aaron, just.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The ones the teams are shopping.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Okay, just to be clear, that would be minoring in
a major and measuring in a minor. But go ahead,
there you go, precisely.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
So, long story short, the Biden Harris administration they want
new regulations to go after this significantly increased and abused
deminimous exemption. This is a shipping exemption, the deminimous exemption,
and it basically allows shipments valued at eight hundred bucks
or less to enter the US duty free.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
So this is really.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Raised concerns about not only consumer safety, fair trade violations,
and frankly, it's just the latest battle in what is
the ongoing trade wars between the US and China. Right now.
We know that this is being abused because the volume
of these shipments entering the US is skyrocketed. From about
one hundred and forty million that was per year a
decade ago, it's over a billion today. So yeah, they're
(16:52):
abusing it, and the White House wants them to stop.
So they've proposed rules they want to prevent the shipments
from avoiding tariffs. Want to do this by having a
ten digit classification number identifying who the actual filer is.
They want more transparency about what's in the shipments and
what they're claiming. I'm like, wait, they don't have that, really, yeah,
they that, so so.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, let's hope it's a blouse, Saron, I know, right.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Oh and by the way, just to be clear, ilicit
synthetic drugs aka sentanyl are also coming in on these,
so you're right, like, let's hope it's a blouse, but no,
lots of stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Wait, what's the name of the drug You just said sentanyl?
You did fentanyl.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, everybody says fentanyl, which is wrong, but I think
you said fentanyl.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
I think I said, I'll say Fentanylry.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
No, it's a pet peeve of my wife's.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I don't know why she's She's like, I mean, this
is something that's killing millions and millions, you know, hundreds,
you know, hundreds of thousands. We should we should at
leastronounce it, right. But yeah, But to your point, though,
that's that's frightening. We don't we don't know now what's
coming in. So but this is interesting. You talk about,
you know, you mess with young people's cheap clothes from China.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That may not be good heading into an election.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Right, and listen, you have like teenage daughters. It's very
funny because a lot of people I've been speaking to
you across the country this morning have been like, what sheen?
And I'm like, oh, we know. Yeah, if you don't
have a teenage and it's pretty binary. If you have
a teen daughter, you are intimately familiar with it, and
if you don't, you've never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, no, no, middle I mean I know what Timu
is too, But Sheen is commonplace, and it's it's just
really cheap clothes from China and they're very fashionable. They're
just not very well made. But you know, for for
college kids, that's great. One of three wears and we're
ready to dump anyway, so you know, but it is
dirt cheap. But the notion that stuff is coming in
and we don't know what it is, well, I don't
(18:39):
think they realized how much they revealed the real issue
buried in this nonsensical and of course, and all of
this were ignoring where they're all campaigning on TikTok, where
they're gathering real dangerous information. We talked earlier, I want
to let this this part of the audience. Also here
we were having a fascinating conversation. We didn't have much
time to much time we have right now You're gonna
(19:02):
probably say thirty seconds right literally, Aaron, how much time
do we have left?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Done?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
However much time you need? Oh, I thought you're asking Jefferys.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
No, I was asking you no. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So you know we talked about how a year ago,
about right now, the forecast was that interest rates would
be steadily coming down per quarter and that mortgage rates
would get somewhere close to three percent by the end
of twenty twenty four early twenty twenty five. That number
seems impossible, and you were saying that era of low
(19:37):
mortgage rates that's over, probably for the long foreseeable future,
in fact, and I just pulled the number out from
my instincts, and I said, my guess is somewhere around
five is where this settles, and settles for a long
time and hopefully stays. It may even rise from there.
So the days of thinking we can get back to
three they're almost officially over, right.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Explain why, yes, And the reason for that is in
June FED officials they said that they anticipate their target
interest rate is going to be two point eight percent
long run. That is higher than at any time from
nine to twenty twenty one. Reminder, right now, the Fed
Funds rate, that target rates, it's about two and a
quarter to two and a half percent. Today it's excuse me,
(20:19):
it's five and a quarter to five and a half percent.
Today it's about five point three percent. So the prime rate,
the good rate, the rate you want that banks give
to credit worthy individuals and corporations, that's usually three percent
higher than what the Fed funds rate is.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Is that what put it in the eights? Yes, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Today it's like eight and a half. So if they're
now targeting a two point eight percent Fed Funds rate,
add three percent of that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You were correct with your guests.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Around five percent is where we're going to, where we're
going to stettle now.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I will say this, I think five percent is a
lot better than I'll never forget I refinance my mortgage
in the mid nineties or they're ninety five or ninety seven,
I can't remember. I got fifteen years at seven and
a half percent, and that's all I really remember. And
I was going to zipity doo dah. My father. I'll
never forget one time told me I about drove off
the road. But our home that we grew up in
(21:12):
would probably be eight hundred thousand dollars today, but at
the time was ninety thousand. But the interest rate was
fourteen and a half percent. It's like a credit card,
so I never lived that. It's better than it was
interest rate to this. But we're going to be five
for a long time. I do think five will be
enough that people will start moving and that will help
with the housing shortage. But you've got to address how
(21:34):
much of housing is being given to legal immigrant. You've
got to address building, You've got to address but you
got to release some of these homes that those with
two and a half percent interests are hanging on to.
I think five will start that. I thought it'd be
more in the fours. But long term, if you're sitting
on a two point eight kind of like I was
bragging I am, you might want to hang on that,
hang out of that like a vowel and wheel of
(21:54):
fortune yours because you're never going to see him again,
probably for the foresee future, if ever.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I mean yeah, so forever is a long time but
foreseeable future. Yeah, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Great reporting today, Now go do it again for three
more hours while I enjoy the rest of my day.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Aaron'll be back tomorrow. Thanks erin Fine.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
You're just waking up forty three minutes after the hours.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
This is the proverbial what you need to know waking up.
Top five stories of the day nol Morenal. President Biden,
trying to say that there's no place for political violence
in America, addressed a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
This is our road to the White House. Road to
the White House. Twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
President Biden says there's no place for political violence in
America after there was another alleged attempt on former President
Trump's life. Speaking at the National HBCU Week conference in Philadelphia,
Biden said America has suffered too many times from violence
against political leaders and it does nothing, but we eight
(23:00):
more problems.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Let me just say there's no and I mean this
from the bottom heart. Those of you who know many of you, do.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
No place in political violence for flug of vos America.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
None, zero, never.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
The President said, our differences need to be solved at
the ballot box, and not by a gun in Washington.
I'm Brian shook.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, that was a ligne from seems like old times
with Chevy Chase and goldieha Well, said beg Well said.
Ohio Governor Mike Dwine says, not only are these bomb
threats in Springfield not credible and a hoax, They're not
even coming from this country more for an interference.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Tammy Trehuel has more.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
He says the threats are originating from overseas. Dwine says
at least thirty threats have been called in and they
were all hoaxes. The cities come into the spotlight after
former President Trump said Haitian immigrants there are eating cats
and dogs. City leaders have disputed those claims. DeWine has
also criticized the White House for, in his words, not
having a plan for the influx of thousands of Haitian
(23:58):
immigrants into the city.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I'm tammaged for HEO.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
What did it sound like when the assassin was apprehended
by law enforcement? Bodycam footage has come out. Lisa Taylor
has more.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
The footage shows multiple officers wearing bulletproof vests surrounding Ryan
Ruth's vehicle with weapons drawn.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Hiver, take this sifty, your Ryeon.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Tyke, Stfty, your Ryan Fiber, straight.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Back the wall Gangs.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
When Ruth was close to the officers, he was quickly
put in handcuffs. Martin County Sheriff William Snyder City was
thankful the arrest went down without incident. I'm Lisa Taylor.
You know, overexposure is a real thing. It may take
a while, but it's a real thing. And most voters
in a new poll say Taylor Swift's endorsement of Vice
President Harris has no impact whatsoever on how they will vote.
(24:48):
In fact, what few say they will be impacted. It's
two to one negative.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Six percent of the respondent said that they were more
likely to vote for Harris, thirteen percent said they were
less likely to vote for Harris. A total of eighty
one percent. The vast majority say it has no influence
whatsoever on how they will vote. Well, I woke up
this morning not even knowing Rascal Flats was broken up.
(25:16):
Certainly shocked to hear Ario Speedwagon's breaking up.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm on a bus right.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now next to tap Evence our third basement, who is
reading wrestling magazines I.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Have this on my Sony Walkman getting ready for the game.
Put my game face on.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's Ario Speedwagon, citing it reconcilable differences between the frontman
Kevin Cronin and the basis Bruce Hall.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
My thought is, just go on without the basement. Nobody's
gonna recognize her with the basement another bass player. Man,
That's all there is to it.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But apparently they can't settle things, so they will cease
touring effective January first. Ario Speedwagon has been around for
more than fifty years. We said fifty one at least, right,
because riding the Storrck was nineteen seventy three. Yeah, maybe
it's just time to retire in general or become a
US senator one or the other. They'll do their last show. Oh,
(26:10):
they did their last show September eleventh in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Listen core The yard Boy and My Morning show is
your Morning Show with my buddy Michael del Giorno.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
This from Keith and Bobil. Just saw Ario Speedwagon a
few weeks ago. They were fantastic, really surprising. Well, I'll
remind Keith we had the Day of Rock and Roll
in the Superdome. I remember it was Louisiana LaRue who
had New Orleans late this leg again, fog Hat, Kansas, Ario,
(26:44):
Speedwagon and Heart all in one concert.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
That's like a festival.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And being in the loge up a little bit. You
didn't even have to bring anything to smoke. It just
wafted your way and came up.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Contact.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Rory remembers those days. We always give the final story
to Rory O'Neal. Well, here we are now another day
down the road. I will say for me, the tidbit
of the day is that the gunman in the second
assassination attempt apparently had a horse living in his house
in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
That may be the oddest tidbit that's come out.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But what have we learned about the shooter and where
do we stand today on this investigation?
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Yeah, we know now that the gunman spent about twelve
hours in that shrub line that surrounds the Trump International
Golf Course, which is pretty remarkable that it was there undetected.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
For so long.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
You know, was he in one spot? Where was his
car kept at the time? Was he there all the time?
Some questions there that they're still looking into, and of
course what was the motivation here?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Was it political? Was it about Ukraine? You know? Was
he a Jody Foster fan? You know?
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Like, what was it that was motivating what we believed
was going to be an assassination attempt?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
All right, So I'm watching the news conference yesterday and
I will get of my bias heading in.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
When I heard the early and I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
If it was local LA enforcement or who it was,
I'm talking about how the FBI field agent is going
to talk and then the head of Secret Service is
going to talk.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Sheriff Brad Show, Yeah, Shriff Breds.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So when he said secret Service, I mean I did
make the mental note, remember how they wouldn't. Secret Service
did not appear at any of the news conferences after
the shooting in Pennsylvania. So I made that kind of
bias mental note. Then I had an open mind, and
as I was listening, my little detector just kept going
off the way he kept bringing up Biden, kept you know,
it was it was to me a little over the
(28:37):
top and cover your butt to the point where it
was a little odd to me. He made a big
deal out of no shots were fired at the president.
But I think for a lot of people looking back,
and you may say well, that's reasonable. They're gonna have
a really bad report come out about Pennsylvania. You know,
this one was stopped, so you might want to make
some big deal out of it. But you know, Rory,
(28:59):
the guy's in the bush's for twelve hours, nobody sees him.
There's no perimeter check. He must have emphasized three or
four different times that this was an unplanned event for
the president. But at some point he teed off on
the first hole and somebody might wanted to scan the perimeter.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I don't think we have the you know, dereliction of
duty as we had in the first one, but this
one's not looking lily white either.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
There's a lot of questions, right, So this is a
new Secret Service director, right the acting because the woman
who was in charge during the first one got fired
or quit, i should say, after testifying before Congress that week.
So this is the new guy trying to get the job.
So he's going to be a little kissy kissy, yeah
in some of the comments because he's trying to get
the job full time, right, So I see that as
(29:43):
part of it. But yeah, to your point of how
was this guy able to be there for twelve hours
is still a question. You know, Yes, this was a
last minute decision by the former president to go golf
that day. But again, I'll put twenty bucks on the
table that says Donald Trump golfs every Sunday and it's
either going to be Bedminster or it's going to be here.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
So but you know what's chilling the way the guy
had some I mean, I mean you can get this online,
but he certainly picked a good spot. I mean, Donald
Trump's on the on the fifth farraway when he spotted
Donald Trump gets that t box on six starts coming
towards the green, it's right on top of his barrel.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I mean, the.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Positioning was scary. The fact that they got it early
was good.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
But right well, I think he was also trying to
be as far away from the guard Shack entrance that
he could without taking the corner. So he was there
on the corner, which is about as far away. He
was about as far away you can get from the
Guardshack entrance at Trump International, and that's what put him.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I don't think he knew five from six depending on
but why Sunday?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And did you know was he I mean, we know
the obsession was Ukraine, But was he motivated by something
heard in the debay. We just don't know that part yet. Well,
we do have in custody so we can learn some things.
As opposed to the first shooter who was taking out
if he talks, he immediately pled the fifth and ask
for an attorney.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
All right, appreciate it, Roy, great reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow.

He's in Budapest joins us momentarily, but first, can't have
(01:04):
your morning show without your voice. This is Jim and
Nashville on the talkback Line.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Michael loved the show.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
What was disturbing about the.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Press conference yesterday was all the praise about my Orcists.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That was kind of disturbing. Yeah, and then I got
you for all the information you provide A great day.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh, I will thank you, Rix becoming one of my
favorite listeners to. Rick wrote, good morning, Michael. I thought
it was I was watching with a matrix die yesterday.
When I saw the news conference and heard Joe Biden's
name several times, I felt, as you did, that sometime
something was a miss and that this was being made
very political. Thank you for affirming that what I'm when
(01:46):
I'm seeing things. It was a discerning moment. Now listen
when the news conference began and I heard that because
the one the first gentleman said we're going to be
hearing from the FBI field agent, We're going to be
hearing from the Secret Service that, oh well, that's interesting.
Secret Service was a no show in the first assassination
any of the news conferences, and I think we known
(02:06):
why now they weren't going to make that mistake a
second time, So, I mean, I did have that kind
of predisposed bias.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
But other than that, then I.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Was just listening and I kept hearing them bring up
by it just it just reaked to cover your butt,
which could be natural knowing that a report's going to
come out very soon showing just how poorly they performed
in Pennsylvania or was it something even worse? My you
know what detector was going off throughout the news conference,
and I thought I was crazy. So for Rick and
(02:35):
for Jim, you're helping me. I feel crazy. Enter Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano. Does a second assassination attempt change our
assessment of security in general? Are we getting the conversation
right to get the solution right?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
How does this change things?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
You know, copycats are not unusual, and you know, if
you remember, we had a kind of a spate of
assassinations in the sixties with JFK and we had Bobby Martin,
so it's almost like this. So it is something that
once this thing happens, you do have to be worried
(03:18):
about it escalating. It's like, you know, it's like these
bogus bomb threats right yet one and then they tend
to become an academic. Then they tend to get a
bunch of them. So yeah, I mean the security dynamic
has changed significantly.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Secret Service been around for a long time.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
They pride themselves on doing the most for little, although
defined little little compared to what we said to Ukraine. Maybe,
but it's still a significant budget. Are we missing something
if we think that the only thing here that we're
dealing with is lack of resources for Secret Service?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't think so. Look, you know, I said, this
only showed me for these last two assassination attempts, and
you know, and you know me, I'm the Akham's razor
guy for people aren't familiar with that. It's like the
simplest explanation, given the facts you have, is usually the best, right,
So I go with the and if facts change, I
(04:17):
changed my mind. You know, we have this conversation about
COVID and I said, yeah, it could be zynon, it
could be a natural thing. You know. Then we got
additional facts which showed that no, there's actual evidence here
that says that this, you know, probably came from the lab.
I to me, it seems like too crazy yahoos. But
if additional not not not theories, not assumptions, but actual
(04:40):
facts come out to change that mine. But but if
it is too yahoos, here's what we know. This is
exactly the kind of attacks that the Secret Service is
designed to prevent. It's it's not Tom Cruise emission impossible
or you know some exotic carlos that it is idiots
(05:03):
who decide for themselves. They're going to change history and
get a guy and go shoot a prominent figure. So
these guys fit exactly the profile and exactly the kinds
of attacks that the Secret Service is supposed to guard against.
As a notion that somehow lack of resources the problem
(05:24):
is is ridiculously inexcusable. I mean, the Secret Service always
has the card where they can go into their boss
and say, if I don't have the resources to do this,
this person is at risk and they can say that publicly.
So I don't buy that. I don't I think it is.
It is poor. It is consistently poor operational practice and
(05:48):
leadership on the part of the Secret Service. That's that's
my takeaway from these two things.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us from Budapest, this morning
with their weekly National Security briefing. I got to tell
you watching that news conference yesterday, especially the Secret Service portion,
and it could be as simple as a bad report's
coming out. Uh, there was dereliction of duty in Pennsylvania.
So cover your rear end on this one and celebrate
your achievement. I get that, But it just got so
(06:14):
over the top. I started getting suspicious.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Very very, very very political. I mean no, I'm telling you,
it was so over the top. I'm thinking, did they
stage this so they could have this narrative before this
report comes out. That's and I'm not suggesting that, I'm
just saying.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's how I get that. But no, yeah, that guy
should have never got that close. No, I mean nobody,
nobody should ever get Can I do one better?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Can I do you one better?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Because yeah, because literally he finishes the fifth hole and
he comes up the sixth, he's walking right into the
barrel of the gun, all right. So, and it took
just half a hole before they caught him, and there
was nobody sweeping the perimeter where you would have seen
him for twelve hours camped out.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But I'll do you one even better. Here's a guy that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Had a weapon of mass destruction arrest in two thousand
and two. Maybe we shouldn't be tracking and harassing Tulsea
Gabbard's travel and wherever this guy is based on that
and a horse in his living room, you know, we
ought to know what he's ever in the same state
of a presidential candidate as well.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But I digress.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I think, yeah, I mean, look, it's another failure on
the part of the Secret Service. It's just it's actually true.
And you know, then if you start to think this
is systemic, and I do think there are systemic weaknesses
in the Secret Service, and I'll tell you something else.
I think this is the last four years. I don't
(07:42):
think that this is the Secret Service of four years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, that we would need some hard facts to prove.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I can tell you that the two incidents we've had,
we're both pointed at Donald Trump and not Joe Biden,
well and not Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Know that should lead us to a discussion of why.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Well, I look, I mean, I having somebody that you know,
observed the operation and activities of the Secret Service over
the four years of Donald Trump, including public events at
the White House, you know, we had Secret Service coming
to Heritage because we have foreign dignitaries and they come
and they do sweeps and everything else. And this when
(08:28):
I hear what's going on. I mean, obviously I'm not
the witness of this stuff, but just hearing the reports,
this is not the Secret Service I remember from four
years ago. It is happened in the leadership and and
management of this agency. And you know, I know, I
know why let me jump into people that you know,
(08:49):
go ahead, Sorry, no, I was just gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Say, I know why you're stumbling, and I know why
you're pausing. I've been stumbling and pausing all morning. That
first one in Pennsylvania reminded me of all because, let's
face it, Oliver Stone's JFK was every conspiracy theory wrapped
in won and made a movie out of him. Smart
way to make a movie, not an accurate way to
understand what happened. But you know, that one in Pennsylvania
looked like they were trying to pull off some kind
(09:12):
of a nineteen sixty three hit job by the government
in twenty twenty four where everybody's got a phone.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I mean, it was just like it was like ridiculous.
The performance was so bad in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
If you were going to, you know, actively collude in
the assassination of a president, I would just think it
would be much smarter and less stupid.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, I know, I'm not suggesting it was. I'm just
saying that's how bad the performance was.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
No, there's actually a really good Heritage had a really
good event on this. They had in some professional experts.
They did a kind of almost as you know, like
a you know, a panel of witnesses kind of thing
kind of and it was really super interesting formative. Again,
if somebody said, you have the facts laid before you, what,
(10:05):
in addition to the fact that you see these really
compelling operational flaws in two incidents, what could you determine
from this? And what I would determine is you literally
have a leadership of the Secret Service who doesn't care
about protecting cousins candidate because he's not their guy.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's another way of saying that.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
So that's because you know, yeah, but you know, I
wouldn't if that was a conclusion, I wouldn't be you know,
shocked in surprise.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Well, according according to Senator Bloomberg, I was just gonna say.
According to a senator from Connecticut. We're going to be
shocked and appalled when this report comes out on Pennsylvania.
We were a long way from getting report on Florida.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
We I mean, look, you.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Know, look for example Afghanistan, where the withdrawal was literally
it was a government who implemented a policy that says,
we don't care of this failure. We don't think we're
going to be held accountable for it. I'm they've done
it on an energy policy, They've done other things, and
so they have a track record of literally not caring.
(11:14):
I could see I could see a person in the
Secret Service being called on the carpet by the by
the Biden White House saying, why are you so obsessed
about security for Donald Trump? What's your problem? I can
see that happening.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
There's also a lot of there's also a lot of
hiding behind the uniqueness of a former president that's also
a leading candidate to be president again, and they've never
faced that before. Well, guess what, you've known that for
about seven months now. You should have factored that in
the dehumanization, the calling them a dictator, a hitler, a
threat to democracy, all of that inflaming rhetoric that's a
(11:54):
part of it. Whatever the conditions throw at them, they've
got to find a way to secure them. We're down
to one minute. You're in Budapest. I want to ask
you about these bomb threats. The Ohio governor, who I'm
not a fan of, Mike DeWine, comes out and says,
not only are these fake bomb threats coming in, they're
not even from this country.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
This is foreign meddling again, right.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Right, And you know it's honestly, it's you know, completely
irresponsible of the governor and other people to be blaming
you know, you know, Trump and Vans and for these
bomb threats. I mean, this is nonsensically stupid. You never
do first of all, you never do that. That just
encourages more of them. And the fact that you're you're
(12:36):
literally doing what they want, which is the people who
are calling you the bomb threats want you to politically
attack Vans and Trump. All that's going to do is
encourage more of these stupid bomb threats. It was an
act of public safety irresponsibility. You don't want to encourage
people to make bomb threats. If somebody makes a bomb threat,
you say, this is scary, This is an excusable We're
going to track these people down and punish them. You
(12:56):
don't want to give them a reason to do more
bomb threats because you're literally carrying their water for them.
So it's not it's only bad politics, which is incredibly
bad politics. It is really really bad public safety.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I can't say it any better than that. There's a
little bit of a delay, and it makes it sound
like I'm interrupting. I keep waiting for you to pause,
and then you're just getting ready to say something else,
and then I jump in.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I want to say something very serious.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
This is what I think is the most respected military
and foreign policy mind in America today, and he's in
Budapest doing very serious business, and he still finds time
for us in.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Our show at your morning show for that. I'm eternally grateful.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Secondly, I just like to say, Jeffrey would like to
because of your travels, we're thinking maybe we could get
T shirts, like my lieutenant colonel was in Budapest and
all I got.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Was this lousy T shirt.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, or perhaps you know, share some frequent flyer miles.
But no, we were going to make some jokes about
what's going on in Budapest in ten seconds or less.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So I'm actually doing like a whole series of conferences
here at Yeah. One of the things I try to
do is connect conservatives all over the world together so
they can have honest dialogue and discussions on that telling
people what to think, how to think, you know, who
to vote for, what policies have. But but people need
to have an opportunity to talk with each other. We're
going if I can, I can facilitate by having I'm
happy to do it.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I appreciate you joining us for Budapest.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
We'll talk about family, safe travels. We'll talk to you again,
hopefully from the United States next week.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Chrono on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app
on Michael del Jarno. Jeffrey Lyon has the controls. If
you're just waking up. Former President Trump is blaming the rhetoric,
and I think I get why. There's been two assassination
attempts in the past two months, and both times it
rained at him. The same guy that on the campaign
trail and the debate has been dehumanized, called a monster,
(14:48):
a dictator, a hitler, a threat to democracy. Yeah, that
may have something to do with it, although I will
say this particular individual seemed to be very obsessed with Ukraine.
But that applies to when you position President Trump as
somehow a friend of Putin's for Russia and against Ukraine,
(15:08):
when all the presidents said is if I was president,
this wouldn't have happened. Putin would have never invaded. And
I'll give you this assurance. If I'm re elected, before
even take the oath of office, I'll have this over with.
But that could be certainly perceived by a nutt and
a madman as opposition to Ukraine. Hip hop mogul Sean P.
Diddy Combs has been arrested. We presume it has to
(15:29):
do with the sex trafficking charges, but the indictment is
sealed and the charges have not been announced. And the
Falcon shocked everybody beating Eagles last night twenty one to
twenty on Monday Night football.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And here's a pretty big story.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
The Biden Harris administration has announced new regulations aimed at
Chinese e commerce giants.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Does that include TikTok.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
The one they're on or just sheen t move and
the other ones that our teens are shopping from Aaron
Rayal has that reality for us this morning.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Good morning, Aaron, just.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
The ones the teams are shopping.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Okay, just to be clear, that would be minoring in
a major and measuring in a minor. But go ahead,
there you go, precisely.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
So, long story short, the Biden Harris administration they want
new regulations to go after this significantly increased and abused
deminimous exemption. This is a shipping exemption, the deminimous exemption,
and it basically allows shipments valued at eight hundred bucks
or less to enter the US duty free.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
So this is really.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Raised concerns about not only consumer safety, fair trade violations,
and frankly, it's just the latest battle in what is
the ongoing trade wars between the US and China. Right now.
We know that this is being abused because the volume
of these shipments entering the US is skyrocketed. From about
one hundred and forty million that was per year a
decade ago, it's over a billion today. So yeah, they're
(16:52):
abusing it, and the White House wants them to stop.
So they've proposed rules they want to prevent the shipments
from avoiding tariffs. Want to do this by having a
ten digit classification number identifying who the actual filer is.
They want more transparency about what's in the shipments and
what they're claiming. I'm like, wait, they don't have that, really, yeah,
they that, so so.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, let's hope it's a blouse, Saron, I know, right.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Oh and by the way, just to be clear, ilicit
synthetic drugs aka sentanyl are also coming in on these,
so you're right, like, let's hope it's a blouse, but no,
lots of stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Wait, what's the name of the drug You just said sentanyl?
You did fentanyl.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, everybody says fentanyl, which is wrong, but I think
you said fentanyl.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
I think I said, I'll say Fentanylry.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
No, it's a pet peeve of my wife's.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I don't know why she's She's like, I mean, this
is something that's killing millions and millions, you know, hundreds,
you know, hundreds of thousands. We should we should at
leastronounce it, right. But yeah, But to your point, though,
that's that's frightening. We don't we don't know now what's
coming in. So but this is interesting. You talk about,
you know, you mess with young people's cheap clothes from China.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That may not be good heading into an election.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Right, and listen, you have like teenage daughters. It's very
funny because a lot of people I've been speaking to
you across the country this morning have been like, what sheen?
And I'm like, oh, we know. Yeah, if you don't
have a teenage and it's pretty binary. If you have
a teen daughter, you are intimately familiar with it, and
if you don't, you've never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, no, no, middle I mean I know what Timu
is too, But Sheen is commonplace, and it's it's just
really cheap clothes from China and they're very fashionable. They're
just not very well made. But you know, for for
college kids, that's great. One of three wears and we're
ready to dump anyway, so you know, but it is
dirt cheap. But the notion that stuff is coming in
and we don't know what it is, well, I don't
(18:39):
think they realized how much they revealed the real issue
buried in this nonsensical and of course, and all of
this were ignoring where they're all campaigning on TikTok, where
they're gathering real dangerous information. We talked earlier, I want
to let this this part of the audience. Also here
we were having a fascinating conversation. We didn't have much
time to much time we have right now You're gonna
(19:02):
probably say thirty seconds right literally, Aaron, how much time
do we have left?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Done?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
However much time you need? Oh, I thought you're asking Jefferys.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
No, I was asking you no. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So you know we talked about how a year ago,
about right now, the forecast was that interest rates would
be steadily coming down per quarter and that mortgage rates
would get somewhere close to three percent by the end
of twenty twenty four early twenty twenty five. That number
seems impossible, and you were saying that era of low
(19:37):
mortgage rates that's over, probably for the long foreseeable future,
in fact, and I just pulled the number out from
my instincts, and I said, my guess is somewhere around
five is where this settles, and settles for a long
time and hopefully stays. It may even rise from there.
So the days of thinking we can get back to
three they're almost officially over, right.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Explain why, yes, And the reason for that is in
June FED officials they said that they anticipate their target
interest rate is going to be two point eight percent
long run. That is higher than at any time from
nine to twenty twenty one. Reminder, right now, the Fed
Funds rate, that target rates, it's about two and a
quarter to two and a half percent. Today it's excuse me,
(20:19):
it's five and a quarter to five and a half percent.
Today it's about five point three percent. So the prime rate,
the good rate, the rate you want that banks give
to credit worthy individuals and corporations, that's usually three percent
higher than what the Fed funds rate is.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Is that what put it in the eights? Yes, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Today it's like eight and a half. So if they're
now targeting a two point eight percent Fed Funds rate,
add three percent of that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You were correct with your guests.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Around five percent is where we're going to, where we're
going to stettle now.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I will say this, I think five percent is a
lot better than I'll never forget I refinance my mortgage
in the mid nineties or they're ninety five or ninety seven,
I can't remember. I got fifteen years at seven and
a half percent, and that's all I really remember. And
I was going to zipity doo dah. My father. I'll
never forget one time told me I about drove off
the road. But our home that we grew up in
(21:12):
would probably be eight hundred thousand dollars today, but at
the time was ninety thousand. But the interest rate was
fourteen and a half percent. It's like a credit card,
so I never lived that. It's better than it was
interest rate to this. But we're going to be five
for a long time. I do think five will be
enough that people will start moving and that will help
with the housing shortage. But you've got to address how
(21:34):
much of housing is being given to legal immigrant. You've
got to address building, You've got to address but you
got to release some of these homes that those with
two and a half percent interests are hanging on to.
I think five will start that. I thought it'd be
more in the fours. But long term, if you're sitting
on a two point eight kind of like I was
bragging I am, you might want to hang on that,
hang out of that like a vowel and wheel of
(21:54):
fortune yours because you're never going to see him again,
probably for the foresee future, if ever.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I mean yeah, so forever is a long time but
foreseeable future. Yeah, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Great reporting today, Now go do it again for three
more hours while I enjoy the rest of my day.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Aaron'll be back tomorrow. Thanks erin Fine.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
You're just waking up forty three minutes after the hours.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
This is the proverbial what you need to know waking up.
Top five stories of the day nol Morenal. President Biden,
trying to say that there's no place for political violence
in America, addressed a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
This is our road to the White House. Road to
the White House. Twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
President Biden says there's no place for political violence in
America after there was another alleged attempt on former President
Trump's life. Speaking at the National HBCU Week conference in Philadelphia,
Biden said America has suffered too many times from violence
against political leaders and it does nothing, but we eight
(23:00):
more problems.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Let me just say there's no and I mean this
from the bottom heart. Those of you who know many of you, do.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
No place in political violence for flug of vos America.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
None, zero, never.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
The President said, our differences need to be solved at
the ballot box, and not by a gun in Washington.
I'm Brian shook.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, that was a ligne from seems like old times
with Chevy Chase and goldieha Well, said beg Well said.
Ohio Governor Mike Dwine says, not only are these bomb
threats in Springfield not credible and a hoax, They're not
even coming from this country more for an interference.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Tammy Trehuel has more.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
He says the threats are originating from overseas. Dwine says
at least thirty threats have been called in and they
were all hoaxes. The cities come into the spotlight after
former President Trump said Haitian immigrants there are eating cats
and dogs. City leaders have disputed those claims. DeWine has
also criticized the White House for, in his words, not
having a plan for the influx of thousands of Haitian
(23:58):
immigrants into the city.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I'm tammaged for HEO.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
What did it sound like when the assassin was apprehended
by law enforcement? Bodycam footage has come out. Lisa Taylor
has more.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
The footage shows multiple officers wearing bulletproof vests surrounding Ryan
Ruth's vehicle with weapons drawn.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Hiver, take this sifty, your Ryeon.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Tyke, Stfty, your Ryan Fiber, straight.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Back the wall Gangs.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
When Ruth was close to the officers, he was quickly
put in handcuffs. Martin County Sheriff William Snyder City was
thankful the arrest went down without incident. I'm Lisa Taylor.
You know, overexposure is a real thing. It may take
a while, but it's a real thing. And most voters
in a new poll say Taylor Swift's endorsement of Vice
President Harris has no impact whatsoever on how they will vote.
(24:48):
In fact, what few say they will be impacted. It's
two to one negative.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Six percent of the respondent said that they were more
likely to vote for Harris, thirteen percent said they were
less likely to vote for Harris. A total of eighty
one percent. The vast majority say it has no influence
whatsoever on how they will vote. Well, I woke up
this morning not even knowing Rascal Flats was broken up.
(25:16):
Certainly shocked to hear Ario Speedwagon's breaking up.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm on a bus right.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now next to tap Evence our third basement, who is
reading wrestling magazines I.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Have this on my Sony Walkman getting ready for the game.
Put my game face on.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's Ario Speedwagon, citing it reconcilable differences between the frontman
Kevin Cronin and the basis Bruce Hall.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
My thought is, just go on without the basement. Nobody's
gonna recognize her with the basement another bass player. Man,
That's all there is to it.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But apparently they can't settle things, so they will cease
touring effective January first. Ario Speedwagon has been around for
more than fifty years. We said fifty one at least, right,
because riding the Storrck was nineteen seventy three. Yeah, maybe
it's just time to retire in general or become a
US senator one or the other. They'll do their last show. Oh,
(26:10):
they did their last show September eleventh in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Listen core The yard Boy and My Morning show is
your Morning Show with my buddy Michael del Giorno.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
This from Keith and Bobil. Just saw Ario Speedwagon a
few weeks ago. They were fantastic, really surprising. Well, I'll
remind Keith we had the Day of Rock and Roll
in the Superdome. I remember it was Louisiana LaRue who
had New Orleans late this leg again, fog Hat, Kansas, Ario,
(26:44):
Speedwagon and Heart all in one concert.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
That's like a festival.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
And being in the loge up a little bit. You
didn't even have to bring anything to smoke. It just
wafted your way and came up.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Contact.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Rory remembers those days. We always give the final story
to Rory O'Neal. Well, here we are now another day
down the road. I will say for me, the tidbit
of the day is that the gunman in the second
assassination attempt apparently had a horse living in his house
in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
That may be the oddest tidbit that's come out.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But what have we learned about the shooter and where
do we stand today on this investigation?
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Yeah, we know now that the gunman spent about twelve
hours in that shrub line that surrounds the Trump International
Golf Course, which is pretty remarkable that it was there undetected.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
For so long.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
You know, was he in one spot? Where was his
car kept at the time? Was he there all the time?
Some questions there that they're still looking into, and of
course what was the motivation here?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Was it political? Was it about Ukraine? You know? Was
he a Jody Foster fan? You know?
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Like, what was it that was motivating what we believed
was going to be an assassination attempt?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
All right, So I'm watching the news conference yesterday and
I will get of my bias heading in.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
When I heard the early and I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
If it was local LA enforcement or who it was,
I'm talking about how the FBI field agent is going
to talk and then the head of Secret Service is
going to talk.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Sheriff Brad Show, Yeah, Shriff Breds.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So when he said secret Service, I mean I did
make the mental note, remember how they wouldn't. Secret Service
did not appear at any of the news conferences after
the shooting in Pennsylvania. So I made that kind of
bias mental note. Then I had an open mind, and
as I was listening, my little detector just kept going
off the way he kept bringing up Biden, kept you know,
it was it was to me a little over the
(28:37):
top and cover your butt to the point where it
was a little odd to me. He made a big
deal out of no shots were fired at the president.
But I think for a lot of people looking back,
and you may say well, that's reasonable. They're gonna have
a really bad report come out about Pennsylvania. You know,
this one was stopped, so you might want to make
some big deal out of it. But you know, Rory,
(28:59):
the guy's in the bush's for twelve hours, nobody sees him.
There's no perimeter check. He must have emphasized three or
four different times that this was an unplanned event for
the president. But at some point he teed off on
the first hole and somebody might wanted to scan the perimeter.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I don't think we have the you know, dereliction of
duty as we had in the first one, but this
one's not looking lily white either.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
There's a lot of questions, right, So this is a
new Secret Service director, right the acting because the woman
who was in charge during the first one got fired
or quit, i should say, after testifying before Congress that week.
So this is the new guy trying to get the job.
So he's going to be a little kissy kissy, yeah
in some of the comments because he's trying to get
the job full time, right, So I see that as
(29:43):
part of it. But yeah, to your point of how
was this guy able to be there for twelve hours
is still a question. You know, Yes, this was a
last minute decision by the former president to go golf
that day. But again, I'll put twenty bucks on the
table that says Donald Trump golfs every Sunday and it's
either going to be Bedminster or it's going to be here.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
So but you know what's chilling the way the guy
had some I mean, I mean you can get this online,
but he certainly picked a good spot. I mean, Donald
Trump's on the on the fifth farraway when he spotted
Donald Trump gets that t box on six starts coming
towards the green, it's right on top of his barrel.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I mean, the.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Positioning was scary. The fact that they got it early
was good.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
But right well, I think he was also trying to
be as far away from the guard Shack entrance that
he could without taking the corner. So he was there
on the corner, which is about as far away. He
was about as far away you can get from the
Guardshack entrance at Trump International, and that's what put him.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I don't think he knew five from six depending on
but why Sunday?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And did you know was he I mean, we know
the obsession was Ukraine, But was he motivated by something
heard in the debay. We just don't know that part yet. Well,
we do have in custody so we can learn some things.
As opposed to the first shooter who was taking out
if he talks, he immediately pled the fifth and ask
for an attorney.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
All right, appreciate it, Roy, great reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow.
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
