Bienvenitos. That's California for welcome to the May 19th edition of National Reviews, Radio-Free, California podcast.

I'm Will Swame, CEO of the California Policy Center.

You can find my colleagues and me at California Policy Center.org. You can find my friend and co-host

David Bonson right here. He's an economist. He's host of the Capital Record podcast. He's also

author of the book, Full Time, Work in the Meaning of Life, and of course, he's founder of the

eponymous investment firm, the Bonson Group. Hello, David. Hello, Will. How are you, my friend? I am good. You are

in Miami? I am in Miami. I have a few days of business out here, and then I'll be head back to

New York City, and then to to Texas and then back to California.

So I'm sort of a nomad right now. But Miami's beautiful and what a blessing to be able to

travel the country as often as I do because this is a beautiful country. It really is.

I want to start with less than beautiful news. This just broke

late last night, for me at least. I'm sorry. A shooting yesterday in San Diego, two guys who appear

to have been very young, first of all, 17 and 18 years old, went to a mosque in San Diego and just started

shooting up the place, killed a security guard and two members of the congregation there.

Their motive appears, David, to be white supremacist, neo-Nazi-inspired messaging.

They wrote some stuff and left it in a car where they committed suicide. There's a

fuel, a gas tank, like a gas canister that appears to perhaps have been deployed eventually

as a kind of accelerant on a fire, perhaps, in the mosque. And it has the SS logo on the side of it. So I don't know really what to say

about something like this. You know, again, this is less than 24 hours, I believe, that you and I

are recording this after the event. And investigators aren't saying a whole lot about it. But it's

really hurtful. And I don't know what

else to say about it. I am sorry to the families and the members of the congregation and to all
