  Mornings with Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:03
  Don't you say anything stupid? By anything stupid, I mean anything at all.
• 0:06
  No, it's crazy. Welcome to the Thunderdome, people.
• 0:09
  News, opinions, politics, and the stories that matter to Texans.
• 0:14
  I shaved for this.
• 0:15
  Here are your hosts, Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:20
  Remember everyone, just don't be yourselves.
• 0:22
  On KSEV AM700, The Voice of Texas.
• 0:26
  Yes! That's awesome.
• 0:27
  So fun to do!
• 0:31
  KSEV radio!
• 0:33
  And now Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:35
  Thank you, Dana Loesch. My name is Craig Coglianese.
• 0:38
  When we made that first intro, I was using a fake name still.
• 0:42
  He is Wayne Dolcefino, and this is our radio show in The Voice of Texas.
• 0:47
  And Wayne was just describing to me why he doesn't like laptops,
• 0:50
  and I actually thought it was fascinating.
• 0:52
  Actually, I genuinely really enjoyed that you don't like the layout of the keyboard.
• 0:56
  Is that right?
• 0:58
  Yeah, you know that the mouse pad thing in the front, so you have the mouse pad and then
• 1:03
  you have the like the letters, whatever that's called, the keyboard?
• 1:07
  I want it reversed.
• 1:09
  I've never liked the idea of putting my hands on the mouse pad to type, which is why I use
• 1:18
  an iPad.
• 1:18
  I love that you have, it might be a better design.
• 1:22
  I've never tried it the way you're saying it because it doesn't exist, but I wonder
• 1:25
  if someone made it if it would actually be better and if we'd all like it more.
• 1:29
  I just sort of understand why they haven't. It seems so logical to me.
• 1:34
  Sure.
• 1:35
  I'm a very chronological guy. If you watch my stories, I'm chronological. I'm a chronological
• 1:41
  guy. It seems to me that the letters should be the easiest thing to get to. And then if
• 1:49
  you need to use the mouse pad, you just go up rather than go down.
• 1:54
  Yeah, that it makes sense what you're saying, but I just love the fact like for that reason you're just done with laptops
• 1:59
  You're like they don't make them the way I want. I'm not using them. No and and look I know I'm not I'm not something South Asian
• 2:07
  You know
• 2:07
  Refugee who's an engineering expert sure right? It's not really my forte. Yeah, and you know, right
• 2:14
  I think that's pretty fair to say that's fair
• 2:16
  Engineering is not my thing. Um, I just think it makes more sense
• 2:21
  sense. And I'm a little bit disappointed that, you know, Elon and OpenAI or any of these
• 2:29
  other companies, with all the brain power they have, it's such a simple solution.
• 2:36
  I don't know if you're mentioning Elon because you saw what they did yesterday, but it was
• 2:40
  incredible. Tesla debuted its newest sports car, I think it's called the Roadster 2, and
• 2:47
  They put this video up of the road.
• 2:48
  It has these fans under it that suction it to the road,
• 2:52
  which is supposed to make it capable of going even faster
• 2:55
  than any car ever.
• 2:57
  I think they can go from zero to 60 and under a second.
• 3:00
  It's like 0.8 of a second that they get to.
• 3:02
  Yeah, that's crazy.
• 3:03
  But the thing they did is they set up this Hot Wheels-esque
• 3:06
  track that went upside down.
• 3:08
  And then they drove the roadster up it
• 3:11
  until the roadster was upside down.
• 3:13
  And it was still glued to the street,
• 3:15
  still driving around like normal,
• 3:17
  and then the most ridiculous thing happened,
• 3:20
  and maybe I'll put a video up on social media for this,
• 3:22
  it then fired itself off of the ramp,
• 3:24
  flipped itself over and used air to land.
• 3:28
  So it flew, the newest Tesla vehicle.
• 3:32
  And I had to make sure by finding nine sources
• 3:34
  that it was an AI, that there was a real thing
• 3:36
  that actually happened that they actually debuted yesterday.
• 3:40
  How much is it?
• 3:41
  It's like $180,000 or something.
• 3:44
  Yeah, it's-
• 3:45
  money. Okay. I don't even know if it's out yet though. I think
• 3:49
  it doesn't debut for another year. They were just demonstrating
• 3:52
  it now and it's it looked ridiculous.
• 3:55
  When you talked about suction, you know, because I'm like a
• 3:58
  really bad driver. Like when I'm in a car, it really is like a
• 4:01
  metal miss hole. Just like heading toward, you know, some
• 4:05
  you know, whatever. And if I could get a car that would like
• 4:09
  suck to the ground, so it didn't like go into the other lane,
• 4:13
  like I did a couple weeks ago,
• 4:15
  when we were together in Austin.
• 4:16
  Right.
• 4:17
  If I could get that car, I would do it.
• 4:21
  You know what's really funny?
• 4:22
  He also said, because Elon was there,
• 4:24
  that this would be the only manual car
• 4:27
  that they continue producing.
• 4:29
  And he didn't mean like stick shift.
• 4:31
  He meant the only car that you can drive.
• 4:34
  Tesla's plan in the future is to have every other car
• 4:36
  they make be fully autonomous,
• 4:38
  so you don't even have to drive it.
• 4:40
  And I think this one obviously would also have that.
• 4:42
  to a suction to the road and be able to drive itself.
• 4:45
  I would love a fully autonomous car because, like I said, I am really destined to be in
• 4:52
  the backseat of a car with someone else driving me all the time.
• 4:58
  I just get in and say, take me to Craig's trailer home in Willis.
• 5:07
  How dare you?
• 5:07
  It's a condo.
• 5:09
  I'm not insulting Willis.
• 5:10
  I don't know why Willis came to mind.
• 5:13
  No, that's funny.
• 5:13
  What I really think is funny about this though, you're in Austin right now.
• 5:17
  Isn't Waymo huge there, the autonomous taxis?
• 5:21
  Yeah.
• 5:21
  And I like those.
• 5:23
  I did Waymo a lot in San Francisco.
• 5:27
  The only problem with Waymo is that you have to know exactly where the spot is going to
• 5:33
  stop because you could be standing on a corner and all of a sudden the Waymo is driving down
• 5:38
  the block and stops like 800 feet away and then you I can't see that great so I
• 5:43
  can't see that it's flashing my name yeah so I don't know if it's my Waymo
• 5:47
  because you know it says your name I didn't know that I've never taken Waymo
• 5:51
  on the thing it's a little rotating thing yeah yeah very very cool it is I
• 5:56
  was a big fan of the Waymos I really am and I have no problem in fact it would
• 6:02
  it would if I thought about getting a driver I really did because literally I
• 6:07
  my insurance company. Can I say their name? Because I mean, I'm charging me a fortune.
• 6:12
  Why not? But no, great insurance company. I won't say their name. But they're great insurance
• 6:17
  company. But my insurance next year, if I even have any, I think there's a real chance
• 6:24
  I'm going to get a letter any day now saying, because you are an habitual accident cause
• 6:30
  or you were not going to cover you anymore. Because I think I've had four or five claims.
• 6:35
  I hit my gate at my house in Houston.
• 6:38
  I just, you know, I hit the gate.
• 6:40
  And then, of course, I got caught in the gate.
• 6:43
  And there was one way to go where I would have been disengaged from the gate.
• 6:47
  And then there was the way to go, which would make the entire gate
• 6:50
  scratch your entire car from front to back.
• 6:54
  Which one do you think I chose?
• 6:56
  I wish you had chose option A, but I think you probably chose B.
• 7:00
  And I wouldn't be. Yeah. And and as a result.
• 7:03
  And then my landlord, because I ran in Houston, the landlord's insurance company sued me for
• 7:13
  causing damage to the gate.
• 7:16
  So I had multiple lawsuits.
• 7:18
  People like to sue me.
• 7:19
  I don't really know why.
• 7:21
  I don't know.
• 7:21
  I don't know.
• 7:22
  And your lawyer has to love you almost as much as your insurance company does, if not
• 7:25
  more than your insurance company actually.
• 7:27
  You know what?
• 7:28
  They've been honored.
• 7:30
  I would tell you that story about the guy that sued me claiming he couldn't have sex
• 7:36
  anymore because of the interview I did.
• 7:38
  Yeah, I remember part of that, but tell it again for anybody that doesn't know.
• 7:41
  No, no, if you're just joining us and you've never listened to the show, I've been sued,
• 7:44
  as you know, right?
• 7:46
  25, 30 times, maybe.
• 7:48
  I'm proud.
• 7:50
  And some guys who'd be claiming he couldn't have sex anymore because of an interview I
• 7:58
  I did. It was like a six minute interview.
• 8:02
  And I'm not sure why I'm telling this story now, but it's a great day.
• 8:08
  But he claimed you couldn't have sex with me anymore.
• 8:11
  And and during my deposition, you know, which is supposed to be real serious,
• 8:15
  sworn testimony, he essentially gave me one of those softball questions
• 8:20
  where he said, you know, how do you feel knowing that you have caused
• 8:24
  the de-sexing of this guy, because he can't have sex anymore because of post-traumatic
• 8:30
  Wayne syndrome.
• 8:31
  That's great.
• 8:32
  And I said, well, I was in the same interview and I have sex just fine.
• 8:39
  That's a great answer, man.
• 8:41
  I thought it was a really good answer.
• 8:43
  I don't know what to say to you.
• 8:44
  And my lawyer sort of looked to me like, really, Wayne?
• 8:51
  Yeah, no, I wonder how much how successful he was before the interview.
• 8:56
  I wonder if that was the kind of a chilly though yet.
• 8:58
  Yeah, it has.
• 8:59
  It has gotten very chilly.
• 9:00
  My tires were definitely under inflated driving into work today.
• 9:04
  A chilly for Texas though, because I'm from the East Coast and the Midwest.
• 9:10
  This is not cold to me.
• 9:12
  It's not about cold.
• 9:13
  First of all, I mean, I'm in Dripping Springs.
• 9:15
  I'm on the border of Austin and Dripping Springs here in the lovely Belterra neighborhood.
• 9:21
  Oh, very nice.
• 9:23
  Actually, it's fine.
• 9:25
  It's a bunch of houses that used to cost 300,000 and now cost like, you know, three times as much.
• 9:31
  Yeah. Right.
• 9:32
  You know those neighborhoods.
• 9:32
  I know those neighborhoods.
• 9:34
  Yeah. But I went outside this morning when I woke up.
• 9:37
  You know, it's funny.
• 9:38
  I wake up now, even if I don't set my alarm.
• 9:43
  That's nice.
• 9:43
  That's new for you.
• 9:44
  you
• 9:45
  I woke up at 5.30 in the morning.
• 9:46
  You know the first thing I thought about this morning?
• 9:48
  What's that?
• 9:50
  Craig Coglianese.
• 9:51
  I wonder if Craig's up.
• 9:53
  I'm honored, and I was up.
• 9:55
  I was up at 5.30.
• 9:56
  I get up at about 5 o'clock every day.
• 9:58
  Do you really?
• 9:58
  Yeah, I do.
• 9:59
  When do you sleep?
• 10:00
  Do you just sleep at night?
• 10:01
  Or do you sleep during the day?
• 10:02
  Because I, you radio guys, don't do much during the day.
• 10:05
  Well, I used to have a normal sleep thing.
• 10:07
  But after this show started, I have
• 10:09
  been finding myself falling asleep for an hour or two
• 10:12
  in the middle of the day when I'm back at home.
• 10:14
  because I do work additionally like for the station in other capacities and I'm usually doing that from home and I'll like doze off on the couch for an hour and then I'll sleep at night for like six hours.
• 10:24
  Why you're on the clock?
• 10:25
  I don't know if I'm on the clock or not. It's because I finish all my work. You know, I don't know. I don't know if I'm punched in or punched out. I don't know how that works.
• 10:34
  I think that would be called fraud.
• 10:36
  No, no, no.
• 10:37
  First of all.
• 10:37
  No, no, no. I'm full time and I'm pretty sure I have a lunch in there. So let's just say I'm sleeping whenever I'm supposed to be at lunch.
• 10:43
  You know, I pay my people for lunch time. Oh, do you? Okay. I don't make them go off the clock
• 10:49
  I don't punch in and out of a clock you keep saying like a clock I don't have
• 10:53
  We have like a time to we have the old-fashioned thing when you stick I'm an example. I'm an exempt employee
• 10:59
  I don't have I don't do with clock now
• 11:01
  so we started technically billing working at 9 o'clock in the morning, right and
• 11:06
  And but my staff believes that when it says you begin work at nine o'clock that that is sort of like the time
• 11:15
  They're supposed to get there. So like yeah, technically every morning is probably like 930 that people start working
• 11:23
  And I'm going I literally just lost
• 11:27
  Like a lot of money. Yeah, because nobody but it's funny how they
• 11:32
  exactly at five o'clock. They're downstairs. When people come in my office, I look at my
• 11:39
  computer and it says 501, 502. I'm thinking people must like for the last hour, it must
• 11:47
  be like they're at the clock.
• 11:51
  They probably have an alarm set on all their phones to get out of there.
• 12:03
  Visualize the morning. Yeah, it will see the Sun come up a little bit later. All right, we got it
• 12:07
  We got to take a break. Well, we're talking about the sunrise
• 12:12
  You're in Austin and I have nothing I would love to have a sunrise behind me that would be nice
• 12:17
  We'd have to totally redo the studio to get that done
• 12:19
  Quick break and maybe rip out all the carpet which would make Wayne very very happy quick break
• 12:24
  We got a lot coming up on the show on KSEV radio the voice of Texas
• 12:28
  We are the mob guys Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino after a 12-day
• 12:33
  Disappearing act from the campaign trail the James Talarico camp says that he had the flu
• 12:39
  Well, it is quite possible that he did have the flu or as some are saying maybe he just flew the cuckoo's nest
• 12:50
  On the voice of Texas my name is Craig Coglianese he is Wayne Dolcefino
• 12:57
  We are your mob guys on the show.
• 12:59
  We were talking a little bit about baseball
• 13:01
  before we started.
• 13:02
  And so I figured I'd just bring baseball.
• 13:04
  I'm shocked.
• 13:05
  I know Jack is shocked and you probably are too,
• 13:07
  but I think you stopped watching
• 13:08
  after the Astros fell out of this thing.
• 13:11
  The Brewers just swept the Dodgers.
• 13:14
  So the Dodgers are out.
• 13:15
  The Brewers are into the World Series,
• 13:16
  which they've never won before.
• 13:18
  And they will face either the Rays or the Indians.
• 13:22
  I still call them the Guardians.
• 13:25
  I don't know.
• 13:25
  Well, we'll see which one of those two makes it.
• 13:27
  We should change the name back to India.
• 13:30
  They are.
• 13:30
  They're the Cleveland Indians.
• 13:32
  I put it in.
• 13:33
  Oh, go ahead.
• 13:33
  Well, I don't understand how...
• 13:37
  Look, I can see, you know, calling them like the Cleveland scalpers or something would
• 13:42
  be like derogatory, right?
• 13:45
  But just calling them Indians.
• 13:48
  How was that ever derogatory?
• 13:51
  I have no idea.
• 13:51
  And it's funny I put it in because I like to watch when AI becomes woke with me
• 13:56
  I put it in like the Google search the other day like how many world series of the Cleveland Indians won
• 14:01
  I was just curious and it goes there the Cleveland Guardians it like immediately corrected
• 14:06
  And I was like, ah, okay, it sounds like my car I ever miss
• 14:10
  I like the fancy one just like, you know, I'm sure cheaper Mercedes and
• 14:16
  I guess that sounded kind of like
• 14:18
  I cheaper miss you know what that is but that's why yeah I least it so don't get excited
• 14:24
  okay, but but it talks to me you know you
• 14:29
  You supposed to say hey Mercedes and the little woman person says hey, what do you need right?
• 14:36
  Mind I could be in a car with one of my people talking about a case
• 14:41
  And then all of a sudden without anyone asking Mercedes to say a word
• 14:46
  It starts saying, well, if you're talking about climate change, you could want to...
• 14:53
  I mean, it's like, and I agree with you on this woke thing.
• 14:56
  Yeah.
• 14:57
  It's like an extension of the TV stations, right?
• 15:01
  Yes.
• 15:01
  When they became all woke and we have to start saying undocumented worker.
• 15:06
  Like, to me, an undocumented worker was someone who like, oh, where are my documents?
• 15:12
  Right, I don't have them.
• 15:13
  I don't...
• 15:14
  I'm undocumented at the moment.
• 15:15
  Yeah, they're in my car.
• 15:17
  Yeah, right.
• 15:18
  But they actually have them.
• 15:20
  I never understood why we accept those changes.
• 15:26
  They've sanitized so much language, I think, for the immediate purpose of convincing people
• 15:32
  that their opinion is right on something as opposed to anything else.
• 15:35
  There's so many different ways.
• 15:36
  The birthing person stuff was hilarious to me.
• 15:39
  And I think that that was the line where people were like, no, I'm going to call a woman a
• 15:43
  woman.
• 15:44
  and I'm not gonna say birthing person.
• 15:47
  Yeah, but you know what?
• 15:48
  Maybe if they keep being on us,
• 15:50
  we're gonna all just start believing in six genders
• 15:53
  and nine spiritual leaders that are all equal.
• 16:02
  Because they kind of beat you with it.
• 16:04
  Sure.
• 16:05
  Right?
• 16:06
  Yes, they do.
• 16:08
  That's what they do.
• 16:09
  It's not like this indigenous people's day thing
• 16:11
  versus Columbus Day.
• 16:12
  Like I never agreed.
• 16:16
  Was there ever a vote in the first place where we all voted to get rid of Columbus Day and
• 16:22
  make it Indigenous Peoples Day?
• 16:24
  Who voted?
• 16:25
  I don't know.
• 16:26
  They just changed it.
• 16:28
  Yeah, they did.
• 16:29
  And they did it and they said it was for our benefit and then a lot of us hated it and
• 16:32
  they told us to shut up.
• 16:33
  That's what they did all the time.
• 16:35
  As someone who's older now or old or whatever, I understand that you start to say to yourself,
• 16:41
  Maybe it's just time for me to die, right?
• 16:43
  Because I obviously don't recognize this place anymore, right?
• 16:47
  So you're like, you look around and go, where do I live?
• 16:50
  No, I'll tell you the truth.
• 16:51
  And this has been going on for a few years now.
• 16:53
  I find myself liking having conversations with people in generations above mine
• 16:59
  because of how much they agree with me and how much of this stuff is crap.
• 17:02
  So I'll tell you that, no, I don't want people like you to not be here anymore.
• 17:06
  I think people who understand this differently than the younger people who are buying into all this nonsense are the most valuable
• 17:13
  Component to rejecting it and then honestly when we talk about if we you know spin this back into voting
• 17:20
  People in baby boomer or Gen X generation will vote more than Millennials still the vote more than you know
• 17:26
  Gen Z will and so they still have a bigger
• 17:29
  disproportionate control on who's in the White House, who's in other places.
• 17:34
  I'm most concerned about the decrease in drinking among younger people because
• 17:38
  because when when we were all out drinking, right, and then it was election
• 17:44
  day the next day and we would get drunk and we'd be so hungover we would say, you
• 17:49
  know what, I'm not gonna go vote. I don't really care that much, right, because I don't feel well.
• 17:54
  But now they're all working out and stuff and you're not hanging out in bars that much.
• 17:59
  I know.
• 18:00
  And I did two in the morning, so they're up.
• 18:03
  And they would vote.
• 18:05
  Yeah, it's terrible.
• 18:06
  So I think, here's my suggestion for the night before election day.
• 18:10
  We should, all the bars where the owners still believe in America, we should have free liquor.
• 18:20
  I think we should have-
• 18:21
  One night.
• 18:22
  One night, always.
• 18:22
  One night, all you can drink.
• 18:25
  Yeah.
• 18:26
  Night before.
• 18:26
  Well, you could drink before election day, so you get so drunk, you're too sick to get
• 18:31
  out of bed the next day.
• 18:33
  That's my suggestion.
• 18:34
  It's a deal between Waymo to drive everybody home and all the bars.
• 18:38
  That'd be amazing.
• 18:39
  Although I'll tell you this, Wayne.
• 18:40
  Can we sponsor this?
• 18:41
  Yeah.
• 18:42
  I'll tell you this though, Wayne.
• 18:43
  It might have a negative effect because I would also go to the bars.
• 18:47
  If everything is free at all the places, I don't think it would just be the young people
• 18:51
  out.
• 18:52
  I think a lot of us might go.
• 18:53
  What if it's like we set like an age limit?
• 18:55
  It's sort of like how young people commit all the crimes,
• 18:59
  all the crimes, right?
• 19:00
  And they sort of go out of that weird stage
• 19:03
  where they become criminals for some reason.
• 19:06
  I think we could do the same thing with voting.
• 19:08
  Or change voting to where you cannot vote until you're 30.
• 19:14
  Yeah, actually, you know what we should do?
• 19:15
  We should let people trade in their vote.
• 19:17
  Be like, I promise not to vote
• 19:19
  and now I get free drinks all night
• 19:20
  and see how many young people do that.
• 19:22
  Like a ticket.
• 19:23
  Yeah, yeah, you bring your ballot
• 19:25
  and you can't vote anymore.
• 19:27
  That's a good idea.
• 19:28
  Like free dream tickets if you don't vote.
• 19:31
  Yeah, that'd be hilarious.
• 19:32
  Yeah, while they love mail-in balloting on the left,
• 19:34
  maybe the bartenders or the bar owners
• 19:36
  can fill them out as Trump votes
• 19:37
  and just or whoever votes and send them off.
• 19:40
  Wow. If people would just listen to us.
• 19:44
  I know. This is a very mob guy, very illegal decision that we're making.
• 19:48
  Like, let's get all the young people drunk so they don't vote at the election.
• 19:51
  Is that illegal?
• 19:53
  I don't know. Who knows? I'm not a lawyer. You're not a lawyer.
• 19:57
  You know what? When people on my staff, I talk about something and they'll say,
• 20:02
  you know, we can't do that. That's illegal.
• 20:04
  I always ask the question, but is it a felony?
• 20:10
  because if it's not a felony, it might be worth it. I don't know.
• 20:15
  Yeah, you're right. If I'm not going to do hard jail time, is this the kind of thing
• 20:18
  that I might still want to do? I don't know. Yeah. Can I get this expunged from my record?
• 20:22
  That'd be great. Just think it out loud. All right, we got to take another break. We do have
• 20:27
  a lot of actual stuff to get to. It is a Friday though, so we probably want to have as much fun
• 20:31
  as we can today because darn it, I said this to you, I think maybe it was Monday or Tuesday this
• 20:35
  week sometimes when I look at the news especially when I'm trying to prep this
• 20:39
  show either before I go to sleep or when I wake up it's I just don't want to talk
• 20:43
  about it and I know it's important I know we got to talk about it we will but
• 20:47
  you even asked me about JD Vance calling somebody a weasel the other day and how
• 20:51
  that's playing and I don't know I it's some of this stuff just does seem stupid
• 20:55
  some of this stuff does seem like we could just go a different road yeah you
• 20:59
  There's just so many ways to tell people how bad Democrats are for the economy, for our
• 21:12
  standing in the world, and Europe likes the weak America.
• 21:18
  They don't want a strong America.
• 21:21
  Look, I like the Europeans just fine.
• 21:24
  My family's from Europe.
• 21:25
  I'm European.
• 21:26
  I get it.
• 21:27
  But I don't really want to emulate them in the way they deal with the world. Yeah
• 21:33
  So I just I just don't I don't like I don't say go France go I just
• 21:39
  I just don't right. Yeah, I hear you man. I don't know I
• 21:45
  Totally true and it's funny because it does seem like right now these little tiny things
• 21:51
  matter more to the side that's trying to remove people from power than they do to
• 21:56
  the side that's trying to keep people in power. I will tell you though and it's
• 22:00
  funny and you're gonna think this is weird because you're gonna look at my
• 22:03
  site and say you do a lot of schoolyard bully crazy nonsense whatever but I don't
• 22:09
  really I don't really it doesn't reach me when the vice president calls somebody
• 22:17
  a weasel like we're in fifth grade in a school yard.
• 22:21
  And there's so many other things to warn people about.
• 22:27
  These people are going to raise your taxes.
• 22:31
  It's not, they're not going to make it more affordable.
• 22:34
  They're going to make it less affordable.
• 22:36
  Yeah.
• 22:36
  And I, there's just, it's so obvious what two Democrats do.
• 22:41
  Yeah.
• 22:42
  There's certain things you know about.
• 22:43
  They make our lives worse.
• 22:44
  Right.
• 22:45
  Well, they certainly raised taxes.
• 22:48
  There isn't a tax they've seen that they don't like.
• 22:52
  If you run a business or if you work in a business, they make you do things in this
• 22:59
  business that Republicans will say, you know what?
• 23:02
  Go live your life.
• 23:03
  But no more regulations.
• 23:05
  We're not going to do all this nonsense.
• 23:07
  We're not going to worry about the two horned, thin, livered, lizard's existence to stop
• 23:14
  building an entire city. We're not doing any of that, right? But because that's what Democrats
• 23:19
  do. I mean, we already know that people don't like Democrats. Now, obviously we're doing
• 23:26
  a thousand things to shoot ourselves in the foot. And I say us because I'm a Republican,
• 23:30
  right? So we were shooting ourselves. I'm on the red team, right? We're shooting ourselves
• 23:35
  in the foot every day. And maybe we, maybe they're enjoying it. Maybe they think, and
• 23:43
  And that's part of my problem with the basis is because they just think that it's funny
• 23:51
  all the time.
• 23:52
  And the reality is there's a lot of people that just don't think it's that funny.
• 23:57
  Yeah.
• 23:57
  And just know, well, and I react to it.
• 23:59
  And honestly, even if you're not mad about it, because I don't care if he calls somebody
• 24:03
  a weasel.
• 24:04
  And sometimes I do laugh at that stuff still occasionally, depending on, and this was about
• 24:08
  Abdul El-Sayed, who does seem like a weasel.
• 24:10
  So even more so like it's fun.
• 24:12
  But truth is true. I mean he was a weasel.
• 24:16
  No, yeah, but at the same point what you're saying and what I think is very true is,
• 24:19
  is this shtick, if that's what you want to call it, this behavior, it isn't working like it did in
• 24:25
  2016. It's not new. I think I said this, I can't remember when I think it was a conversation we had,
• 24:32
  but Trump's not a novelty anymore. Trump is a well-fleshed out sort of person. And so his
• 24:40
  behaviors that used to be jarring in the world of politics and refreshing in the world of
• 24:45
  politics because no one behaved like him, we've now seen that show for too many years
• 24:50
  to have that be enough.
• 24:52
  We need more and we need substance now, you're saying, to actually really get people across
• 24:56
  the line.
• 24:57
  But all right.
• 24:58
  Go ahead.
• 24:59
  Because whether you're a diar conservative or a diar left-wing freak, we all knew there
• 25:06
  are certain truths.
• 25:08
  The reality is there is great inequality in wealth, which is fine.
• 25:16
  Some people are more successful.
• 25:17
  Some people are lazy schlubs, right?
• 25:19
  And they sit around smoking weed all day, right?
• 25:22
  They don't do anything.
• 25:23
  So I get that part of it.
• 25:26
  But we would be lying to ourselves if we didn't say over the last 10, 20 years, the wealth
• 25:34
  is really getting like this, right?
• 25:36
  Like the rich people are doing great, but like the regular folk, right?
• 25:42
  And those are a lot of our voters, right?
• 25:45
  The, we're the party of the America, right?
• 25:49
  The regular folks.
• 25:49
  No, we, the Republican party has absolutely transitioned into being a party that does appeal to a lot of the working class.
• 25:55
  And I think what you're saying is absolutely true that the wealth disparity in this country,
• 26:00
  and this is the thing that makes younger voters so mad, has gotten larger.
• 26:05
  It continues to grow.
• 26:06
  The wages for people living within the middle class have not grown to the degree of anything else.
• 26:12
  And that is a problem because some of these things, and I know it sounds so left, but acknowledging that we do see...
• 26:21
  Well, here, acknowledging that we do see the same problems the left sees, but we absolutely disagree on the answers, is not left.
• 26:27
  I don't have to deny that the problem exists to demonstrate that I'm totally willing to find a different answer than socialism and communism and the terrible stuff.
• 26:36
  They're talking about but yeah, there's a lot of people today
• 26:38
  Who can't do what people a certain number of years could have done in order to get like a first home?
• 26:44
  It's just it's not as achievable with a same amount of demands
• 26:48
  There are more demands around it and honestly and this is the other big problem with younger people
• 26:52
  Most of them went to college and most of them now carry a gigantic debt that makes their life much harder
• 26:59
  And this is something that and I'm not I'm not blaming anybody but them they signed on the dotted line
• 27:03
  and they made the decision to go to school
• 27:05
  and school probably brainwashed them more than it needed to.
• 27:09
  But there were generations
• 27:10
  where more people didn't make that decision.
• 27:13
  Even if college was more affordable,
• 27:14
  there were a lot of people like,
• 27:15
  you know what, now I'm gonna do this.
• 27:17
  And trades right now, you can make a ton of money
• 27:20
  in a lot of places if you go directly into a trade
• 27:22
  because there's so few people doing it.
• 27:25
  Hey look, people who've watched me over the years
• 27:27
  knows that I, and look, I don't believe in a box, right?
• 27:32
  We all think different things about different things and I don't like government regulation,
• 27:38
  but I'm a guy that's often said that I thought we made a huge mistake deregulating public
• 27:44
  colleges in Texas.
• 27:47
  That what we have created are these massive bureaucracies, football aside, right?
• 27:53
  I put football in the category of fun stuff.
• 27:56
  Sure.
• 27:57
  But football aside, we've created these silos where tuition rates skyrocketed after you
• 28:06
  said, hey, go charge what you want.
• 28:09
  Have a good time.
• 28:10
  They went crazy.
• 28:12
  For professors that may teach one class on a Thursday at 8 a.m. for an hour, and then
• 28:19
  the rest of the time they're studying the mating habits of a four legged African swallow.
• 28:27
  And I'm going, why?
• 28:31
  So that's why it costs a fortune.
• 28:32
  Right.
• 28:33
  Yeah.
• 28:33
  And a bunch of the kids will study something that has absolutely no chance of being their
• 28:37
  actual career.
• 28:38
  And then they waste all that money.
• 28:41
  Why can't we say that?
• 28:42
  And why can't we also say that healthcare is screwed up?
• 28:46
  I actually think the Republicans, if they didn't do it so half heartedly, actually have
• 28:52
  a good idea.
• 28:53
  Let's take the insurance companies, instead of sending Obamacare money to them, send it
• 29:01
  to the people.
• 29:02
  Will some just go out and get drunk?
• 29:05
  And not, sure, maybe.
• 29:07
  You may have that kind of fraud, but that could also be policed.
• 29:12
  But let people buy the insurance they want.
• 29:15
  And if they want to buy it from, like, you know, Cousin Vinny's, you know, insurance
• 29:22
  in, like, Cleveland, Ohio, let them do it.
• 29:25
  Big fan of Cousin Vinny.
• 29:26
  Who cares?
• 29:27
  I know we have Jimmy Axon, so I'm going to go to him, and then I know we probably have
• 29:29
  to take a break.
• 29:30
  But let's get Jimmy Axon first.
• 29:32
  Jimmy, what do you want to say?
• 29:35
  Hey, guys, enjoying the discussion.
• 29:38
  But I think there's a deeper discussion here, and that is, you know, we Americans, Western
• 29:44
  and Civilization, we always want to try to discuss...
• 29:48
  Well, we never discuss causes. What's caused well to me? How do we go address that? And I think, you know, it all starts with our school system, first of all.
• 30:04
  And the fact that we have built a lack of accountability within schools, that we have
• 30:11
  built this monstrosity of an educational bureaucracy that is not about education, it's about jobs,
• 30:21
  it's about infrastructure, okay?
• 30:25
  It's about building $150 million schools, okay?
• 30:29
  It's about building a system where the government will create five separate schools to educate
• 30:39
  one in the government school system, but in the private system we can do that with two
• 30:46
  schools, first through eight and then ninth through 12.
• 30:51
  And we've not discussed.
• 30:55
  Yeah, I did also want to say Jimmy because I think what's really interesting about this and I was just looking up the numbers on
• 31:01
  It too like without going to school if you decide to go into a trade your average median salary your first year
• 31:07
  This is an 18 year old who just got done with high school
• 31:10
  54 to 68 thousand dollars a year and it goes quite rapidly up toward a hundred thousand dollars
• 31:16
  Within the first five to ten years of a lot of trades
• 31:19
  So what's really interesting is that as we discuss this and say there's a lot of people that are no longer in the middle
• 31:25
  If you were a two household or two income family, if you have a wife and you both work and one of you is in a trade,
• 31:31
  there's a lot of likelihood that you're making up to $200,000 by the time you're in your late 20s. And then in that
• 31:37
  situation, just financially, you'd be capable of a lot of the things that other generations were capable of.
• 31:43
  But people just don't go in to those fields anymore. Go ahead. But Craig,
• 31:47
  we have told young people that that's a second class life. I know.
• 31:52
  Okay, we've told kids, we've brainwashed them,
• 31:56
  that you have to go get a four year degree.
• 31:58
  Well, a college degree, a bachelor's degree today,
• 32:01
  is probably equal to a high school diploma.
• 32:05
  It is.
• 32:06
  Wayne, when you and I were growing up, okay,
• 32:08
  cause you and I are probably 20, 25 years older than Craig.
• 32:13
  But that's what it's worth today, okay?
• 32:15
  But the lack of accountability,
• 32:17
  The lack of the fact that every single person in this country has an opportunity, has an
• 32:27
  opportunity to get an education, to make good decisions, and to achieve in this country.
• 32:35
  But we've coddled them, and we've told them, oh, it's OK.
• 32:40
  We're just going to pass you through.
• 32:41
  And then you're going to end up drinking a 40 and smoking a blunt all day and blaming
• 32:47
  the man.
• 32:49
  And that's okay because now we've got your vote.
• 32:51
  Now we've got your vote.
• 32:53
  Yeah.
• 32:54
  Oh yeah.
• 32:54
  And that's what this is about.
• 32:55
  It's about creating a whole voting block of dependency.
• 33:00
  And that's what the Marxists and the communists have tried to do.
• 33:04
  And in some ways they're succeeding.
• 33:05
  And you know what?
• 33:07
  Yeah, exactly.
• 33:08
  Well, as Wade was saying.
• 33:09
  Look at all these riots in France right now.
• 33:11
  Well, and as we're talking about this, as we're talking about this, one of the things
• 33:15
  I keep thinking about is my nephew, who I've mentioned before in the show.
• 33:18
  He's 19 years old.
• 33:20
  He just graduated high school and he talked to his dad about not going to college because
• 33:25
  he started a lawn care company, a landscaping company, when he was 16 that is taking off.
• 33:31
  He's got like 40 or 50 clients.
• 33:32
  He's hired some of his friends to work for him and he's doing kind of well.
• 33:36
  And so he said dad I'd rather see if this can continue to grow with me fully investing in it and my brother was so thrilled
• 33:43
  By that he's like absolutely like I don't have to pay for school
• 33:46
  You're gonna go do your thing and I bet you in three or four years
• 33:50
  The kid will have a house and he'll be a 20 something with a house
• 33:53
  That isn't supposed to exist in our current society because he developed a landscaping company at 16 and had it keep growing
• 34:03
  But the whole point here is that we have brainwashed several generations.
• 34:08
  I know, I know.
• 34:09
  But when you watch them fighting the brainwashing, it's amazing.
• 34:14
  Yes.
• 34:15
  All three of us, I guarantee, because I've listened to your show and I know your background,
• 34:20
  all three of us all started with nothing.
• 34:24
  Okay.
• 34:24
  Parents with nothing.
• 34:26
  But we made good decisions.
• 34:28
  We worked hard.
• 34:30
  Okay.
• 34:30
  and we got ahead in life, okay?
• 34:33
  Nothing was handed to us, but we've made this whole system
• 34:37
  believe that you, us three, had an unfair advantage.
• 34:42
  That's right.
• 34:43
  Because of the color of our skin.
• 34:44
  Yeah, you're a white guy.
• 34:45
  Aren't you white?
• 34:46
  I knew he was white.
• 34:47
  Yeah, he's a white guy, yeah.
• 34:48
  He's a privileged guy.
• 34:49
  I know, he's terrible.
• 34:50
  All right, well, thank you, Jimmy.
• 34:51
  I know we gotta take a break, but go one more thing.
• 34:53
  If you wanna say one more thing, go ahead.
• 34:54
  No, go ahead.
• 34:56
  No, but believe it or not,
• 34:58
  I am actually legally Hispanic.
• 35:02
  My mother is full.
• 35:05
  No, for real.
• 35:06
  My mother is 100% seven generation Costa Rican.
• 35:11
  And so guess what?
• 35:12
  I count for the quota.
• 35:13
  There you go.
• 35:14
  Leave it at that.
• 35:15
  Well, darn your GEI hire.
• 35:17
  Jimmy, thank you so much for the call.
• 35:18
  You know, we used to in this country,
• 35:21
  and I think a lot of law enforcement still does.
• 35:24
  Hispanics are white.
• 35:25
  When you get the numbers back in the day,
• 35:28
  Oh yeah. It was white and black. Yeah. The Hispanics were white. So technically he's
• 35:33
  white. He's got privilege. He's got like Hispanic white privilege. I didn't even know that was
• 35:38
  a thing. I tell my wife about that. It's a thing. Okay. All right. We got to take a
• 35:41
  break. A lot to get to. A lot to talk about. Thank you to Jimmy for calling in on the voice
• 35:46
  of Texas KSEV radio. The Mob Guys, 700 a.m.
• 35:55
  Join the conversation. Call Craig and Wayne now at 281-558-5738. That's 281-558-KSEV.
• 36:05
  KSEV radio. This is 700 a.m., the voice of Texas. I am Craig Coglianese. He is Wayne
• 36:12
  Dolcefino. And I have a piece of audio that I got to send to Jack because I can't really
• 36:16
  play it from where I am but I think we also have a call that we'll get to here in just
• 36:20
  a second but we were just talking off air about something that we actually also discussed
• 36:25
  yesterday the Talarico CNN thing and we really should have played more than audio
• 36:30
  yesterday and I know that we have it so we'll do it today but his abortion answer is probably
• 36:36
  the one that's getting the most traction now.
• 36:38
  Yeah it was interesting Craig because I came up last night you know got to see my son Anthony
• 36:43
  adult you know personal injury lawyer hire him but I got a few months that and
• 36:48
  one of the first things he said to me my son is a very strong practicing Catholic
• 36:55
  he's like the altar guy at the church he's really very strongly Catholic yeah
• 37:02
  right and what I told you off the air and there's nothing I say off the air
• 37:08
  that I wouldn't say on the air.
• 37:09
  Well, maybe.
• 37:11
  You know what I mean?
• 37:12
  But I'm saying that I don't I'm
• 37:15
  not a what I call a religious
• 37:16
  vote. Right.
• 37:18
  Like my personal
• 37:19
  faith isn't necessarily
• 37:21
  in my think about it, you know,
• 37:24
  intellectually, not the driver of
• 37:25
  my vote.
• 37:26
  Yeah. But my son, who's
• 37:28
  a young part
• 37:29
  of that young religious
• 37:33
  movement in the country,
• 37:36
  was very offended when Talarico said that the Bible was silent on abortion.
• 37:43
  And if you remember it, even the lady that was like having that little mini chat with him,
• 37:49
  even she pushed back.
• 37:51
  And I just was asking you whether or not you thought that was a thing.
• 37:56
  Yeah, well, and it's not that she, I only think she just pushed back.
• 37:59
  She went even further than that because what I thought was really interesting about that answer,
• 38:04
  She goes, you know, people that are Catholic are offended by the thing you just said.
• 38:08
  Like she actually told him that not only is he wrong, but he also just kind of made her
• 38:14
  mad insulted, I think might've been the word that she chose, which is a really important
• 38:19
  thing.
• 38:19
  But look, I got to send that to Jack and Jack's got to play it off of his computer.
• 38:22
  So let's get to Sharon first.
• 38:26
  And then, oh, we also have Chris calling in from spring.
• 38:28
  So we'll try to get to both.
• 38:29
  And then after that, we'll play the audio.
• 38:31
  Sharon, what did you want to say?
• 38:34
  Hey, I wanted to talk about the prospect that y'all have been kind of bouncing around all week about that Paxton should debate Talarico.
• 38:45
  And I want to say just the opposite. I want to go contrary to that because I think so far, first of all, if he debated, it would be a setup because he's already been set up by National Narrative all over National.
• 39:02
  media, all the propaganda media that that Paxton is the lesser, less the lesser
• 39:11
  candidate that Corning would have been better and Texas made a huge mistake to
• 39:15
  choose Paxton. So it's already under that that that umbrella of national media
• 39:22
  that's coming out saying that and that three martini guy you had on the radio
• 39:26
  earlier in the week he said the same thing. He did. And so I'm just saying all
• 39:30
  this national narrative stuff, Paxton is under that umbrella already. And so what is he doing
• 39:36
  right now? He's taking a bus tour through Texas and he's talking to people. And where has
• 39:42
  Talarico been? The weasel. He disappeared for what, 13 days. Nobody knew where he was,
• 39:49
  checks into a mental institution. I mean everybody now knows that that, that,
• 39:55
  Colorado
• 39:56
  Well here, Sharon, before you get too far from your initial point, you do not think
• 40:00
  that they should debate.
• 40:01
  I want to let us respond to that.
• 40:03
  Wayne, what do you want to say in response to that?
• 40:05
  So look, to me it's not as important in terms of debating as in terms of defending yourself.
• 40:16
  And look, I think in a way you turn your inability to debate into potentially a positive.
• 40:26
  Look, I'm not a fancy debater, right?
• 40:30
  And Mr. Talarico's got some fancy Bible words that he likes to say from a Bible that ain't
• 40:36
  my Bible, okay?
• 40:38
  But there are ways to do that to where the expectations are so low for Ken Paxton.
• 40:44
  on a debate, unless he like says something outrageously stupid, it's a chance for him
• 40:54
  to call out Talarico for, you know, you talk real nice, but here's your voting record.
• 41:02
  Here's how you voted.
• 41:03
  Two years ago, you voted this.
• 41:06
  You did this.
• 41:07
  I just haven't seen that contrast.
• 41:11
  The media's not going to help that.
• 41:13
  Today, the expectations are low for Paxton.
• 41:16
  Well, Sharon, Sharon, I'll jump in.
• 41:18
  You literally just said that the national media has been bashing Paxton and claiming
• 41:23
  that he would be a bad...
• 41:24
  Even Trump made a joke about it.
• 41:26
  So I think for that reason, going into the debate, the expectations by most people would
• 41:31
  be low.
• 41:32
  But I think Paxton would actually...
• 41:34
  The reason I'm so supportive of this is I think Paxton would actually do great.
• 41:37
  He's an intelligent man.
• 41:38
  He's done a lot of really good things as the attorney general.
• 41:41
  And so surprising people, when what Wayne is saying is true, is that the expectations are low, and also leaning in to the things that make him not a polished politician, who is in fact usually a weasel, I think even more so, pretends to...
• 41:56
  But you're going on the premise that this debate is going to be set up with fair questions.
• 42:02
  They said that they'd do it on Fox News.
• 42:05
  Okay, well, debates have turned into such a clown show.
• 42:09
  But it depends on it depends on.
• 42:10
  See, well, thank you very much for the call, Sharon.
• 42:14
  I really appreciate it.
• 42:15
  But here there are ways to mitigate some of that.
• 42:17
  Yeah, I get what Sharon's saying.
• 42:19
  OK, but the reality is the expectations of a great amount.
• 42:26
  But Pat said's bus tour, you know, going to Colleen or wherever he's going.
• 42:32
  I that's fine. That's fine.
• 42:35
  Do it. Right.
• 42:36
  If you want to tour every, you know, do a better war, go to every town in Texas.
• 42:40
  But I can almost guarantee you that the only people that go to a Paxton event in those places
• 42:46
  are people that either are all in on Paxton or have to go.
• 42:52
  I went to the Paxton event that happened here in Houston and it was not well attended.
• 42:57
  And I talked about that on the radio a couple months ago that I was a little worried at the
• 43:02
  time that I wasn't seeing a lot of people. And actually, I think Chris and Spring even
• 43:05
  called in about it. We have another caller on air. I will bring him on with only a couple
• 43:09
  minutes here. Chris and spring. What do you want to say?
• 43:13
  Hey buddy. Yeah, well, I mean, Harris County, so you're not going to get a big turn up there.
• 43:18
  But I did want to follow up with Jimmy X, you know, talking about a voting block in
• 43:22
  the public school system. What about the voting block that was created in 2008? Sorry, 2009
• 43:29
  When health care was foisted upon us against our will, they have increased the salaries
• 43:36
  of nurses, practitioners, pharmaceutical companies.
• 43:39
  Those people will be voting less the rest of their existence.
• 43:44
  What a genius, genius ploy by Barack Hussein Obama.
• 43:48
  Genius, evil, but genius.
• 43:51
  We need to fix this.
• 43:52
  Oh, we tried to fix it, but John McCain went thumbs down on us.
• 43:55
  So, yeah.
• 43:56
  We'll get it back.
• 43:56
  The Affordable Care Act was passed in 2009,
• 43:59
  and it created a very unique situation.
• 44:01
  Go ahead, Wayne, what do you want to say?
• 44:03
  I'm going to throw out something,
• 44:05
  because this is personal.
• 44:07
  Because I'm sick as a dog all the time,
• 44:10
  I take a lot of medicine.
• 44:13
  And quite honestly, because me, I
• 44:15
  got money coming out my high knee.
• 44:18
  They say, OK, this medicine is like $400, and I go, yeah,
• 44:23
  no problem, whatever.
• 44:24
  I got MS. What am I supposed to do?
• 44:26
  I'd say, no, I'm not going to take medicine for it.
• 44:28
  Right.
• 44:28
  Cause that would be stupid, but I'm in a position to do it.
• 44:33
  And most people aren't, I look, I think if we don't understand, because I
• 44:40
  think you said it exactly right.
• 44:41
  Craig, we need to understand the structural things in our system that
• 44:48
  aren't working as well as they used to and figure out a non babysitting
• 44:55
  Christmas tree government solution to it.
• 44:59
  Okay?
• 45:00
  Yes, we do.
• 45:00
  Like the answer is not we're going to take care of you.
• 45:04
  Don't worry if you have nine children.
• 45:06
  We'll pay for them.
• 45:07
  We've got to get out of that thought and say, how do we fix this in the free marketplace
• 45:15
  as best we can?
• 45:16
  Amen.
• 45:17
  We got to take a break, Jack Salome, because we missed a spot.
• 45:19
  So we got to play a commercial spot and then we got to hit the news.
• 45:22
  So we'll be back in just a bit.
• 45:24
  But no, that thought will continue from Wayne Dolcefino, because you're totally right
• 45:28
  that what we need to do is find an answer to a question that we can't stop pretending
• 45:33
  rightfully exists.
• 45:34
  The question has a right to exist.
• 45:36
  The answer that the left is giving is horrible.
• 45:38
  We need to do better.
• 45:39
  Quick break, a lot more.
