0:09
Speaker 4: Welcome to one to.
0:13

0:39
Speaker 1: Yourst man, Craig.
0:42
Speaker 4: That's right, it is the Craig Collins Show, k s
0:45
Speaker 4: c V, the voice of Texas. And yet I am
0:48
Speaker 4: definitely not the most important person that's going to be
0:51
Speaker 4: on the airwaves in just a second. That would be
0:53
Speaker 4: Chris Salsato that we'll bring on immediately. Chris, Welcome to
0:57
Speaker 4: the Craig College.
0:57
Speaker 1: Yo.
0:59
Speaker 5: Mark, Hey, how you doing, buddy.
1:04
Speaker 7: I'm probably one of the only one of the few
1:06
Speaker 7: guys in talk radio knows exactly what that was in
1:09
Speaker 7: the opening.
1:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. Well, I'm one of the other ones
1:12
Speaker 5: that knows exactly what that is in the opening. I'm
1:15
Speaker 5: thrilled to have you on.
1:16
Speaker 4: Obviously, it's somewhat bittersweet you have announced that you are
1:20
Speaker 4: leaving KSEV.
1:21
Speaker 5: This is not a.
1:22
Speaker 4: Choice KSV made. This is a choice you made, much
1:25
Speaker 4: like some other stuff. So if you don't mind, I'd
1:28
Speaker 4: like to start there, and we don't have to get
1:30
Speaker 4: too deep into the weeds. But how much can you
1:32
Speaker 4: tell me about what you're going to do next?
1:35
Speaker 7: Well, again, I would have if circumstances had been just
1:39
Speaker 7: a tinge difference, I likely would have would have retired
1:44
Speaker 7: at KSV. Fourteen years I've been with KSV. I love
1:48
Speaker 7: the station, I love the people, incredible love, love the audience,
1:52
Speaker 7: one of the most loyal audiences in talk radio. But
1:57
Speaker 7: I got this offer for a national digital radio network
2:05
Speaker 7: that is launching, and I said yes. It sounded so
2:09
Speaker 7: exciting I couldn't say no.
2:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's crazy.
2:12
Speaker 4: What's crazy about that guyes is I know a guy
2:15
Speaker 4: in Florida who was on a morning show for a
2:18
Speaker 4: lot of years like you, that just recently did this
2:20
Speaker 4: and that thing has exploded. So it sounds very similar
2:24
Speaker 4: to a concept that I saw just work in Florida
2:28
Speaker 4: quite well, where inevitably you do wind up back up radio,
2:31
Speaker 4: like the show inevitably is heard on radio stations. It
2:34
Speaker 4: is just a different amalgamation of a thing, which sort
2:37
Speaker 4: of speaks a lot to what broadcasting and the Internet
2:40
Speaker 4: and everything that whole weird mixing pot has become.
2:45
Speaker 6: Well.
2:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, since the passing of Rush Limbaugh, and I mentioned
2:50
Speaker 7: this this morning on the radio show, the price of
2:53
Speaker 7: AM radio stations has plummeted. And because they're there has
3:00
Speaker 7: been a realignment where conservatives are landing, And there has
3:06
Speaker 7: been an effort as the left and communists and Marxists
3:11
Speaker 7: have redoubled their efforts to destroy the country, there has
3:14
Speaker 7: been a rise in conservatives to meet that, to meet
3:18
Speaker 7: that challenge. But unlike the leftists and the Marxists who
3:23
Speaker 7: are working very hard to destroy the country, who are
3:25
Speaker 7: getting very little pushback from their sector, the conservatives who
3:30
Speaker 7: are rising to meet them have been getting all manner
3:33
Speaker 7: of pushback from alleged communications companies that are supposed to
3:37
Speaker 7: allegedly prize the First Amendment and prize free speech. So
3:44
Speaker 7: what conservatives are discovering not at KSDV, of course, but
3:48
Speaker 7: mostly on the national levels, there are far too many,
3:53
Speaker 7: how do we say, companies that are allegedly making their
3:56
Speaker 7: bones off of being conservative, but are not. They are censoring,
4:01
Speaker 7: they are tailoring the messages. Two for lack of a
4:08
Speaker 7: better word, to disarm the conservative movement and not allow
4:11
Speaker 7: it to meet fire with fire, and that was something
4:14
Speaker 7: I was not interested in doing. So when when I
4:17
Speaker 7: when I saw this opportunity to to after after my
4:23
Speaker 7: departure from me as you know, the television network that
4:26
Speaker 7: I was at after that, this just dropped into my
4:30
Speaker 7: lap and it seemed like a great fit. So I
4:33
Speaker 7: thought we would, we would, you know what. And frankly,
4:36
Speaker 7: if there was a way to do both, I would
4:38
Speaker 7: have done both. And don't believe me, I tried, yeah,
4:41
Speaker 7: to stay on the Voice of Texas, but it just
4:42
Speaker 7: it just it just didn't work out.
4:44
Speaker 4: I mean, you're you're a guy who's done a lot
4:46
Speaker 4: of stuff, as you just mentioned, You've done stuff in
4:48
Speaker 4: television and radio. I've been at enough places that I've
4:51
Speaker 4: seen people leave and then come back like I've seen
4:53
Speaker 4: it happen. So I'm not gonna say that I don't
4:56
Speaker 4: expect at some point that Chris Salceado, and this is
4:59
Speaker 4: to the audience as much as you might not make
5:01
Speaker 4: a return to this radio station just because radio is
5:04
Speaker 4: a weird animal. But right now, it just sounds like
5:07
Speaker 4: the opportunity that you've been offered is too good to
5:10
Speaker 4: say no to. And that's the kind of thing that
5:12
Speaker 4: happens quite a bit, especially for guys like you who
5:15
Speaker 4: have six jobs for a whole bunch of years, which
5:18
Speaker 4: is something you've do. Yeah, let me ask you this
5:20
Speaker 4: because I think it's kind of interesting as far as
5:22
Speaker 4: the political thing you said. And I keep thinking about
5:26
Speaker 4: a quote that Ronald Reagan famously repeated that's actually Abraham
5:30
Speaker 4: Lincoln's about weak men.
5:32
Speaker 5: I don't know if you know it.
5:33
Speaker 4: You can't make a weak man strong by making a
5:36
Speaker 4: strong man weak. And that conversation is typically about how
5:41
Speaker 4: I think mainstream media and in some places some conservatives,
5:45
Speaker 4: some rhino conservatives, are trying to weaken the Conservative Party
5:48
Speaker 4: and the conservative movement, either internally or through this discussion
5:52
Speaker 4: about being separated. And I think you've done an incredible
5:56
Speaker 4: job on your morning show for years talking about what
5:58
Speaker 4: actually is the belief I think of a lot of
6:01
Speaker 4: conservative people, a lot of Texans, which is America first,
6:05
Speaker 4: and do more for me in DC, do less for yourself.
6:09
Speaker 5: I don't know if you want to respond to that.
6:12
Speaker 7: Well, yes, I think Reagan had John Cornan in mind
6:16
Speaker 7: when he said it. I mean maybe not him, maybe
6:20
Speaker 7: not him specifically, but I mean men like John corn
6:23
Speaker 7: If for those of you don't know, and we're talking
6:25
Speaker 7: about in the morning show that John Cornan's legislative director
6:30
Speaker 7: just left John Cornan's office to go where to James
6:33
Speaker 7: tell Rico's campaign to help defeat Republicans. So that has
6:38
Speaker 7: been the m of Republicans like John Cornan is to
6:43
Speaker 7: defeat conservatives and empower leftists and Marxist to do great
6:47
Speaker 7: deal of harm to our country. And this conservative is
6:51
Speaker 7: not in the mood to tolerate that. And by the way,
6:52
Speaker 7: to your previous point, I stopped saying never or this
6:56
Speaker 7: is the end a long time ago good man in media,
7:01
Speaker 7: that is for sure.
7:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, because you never know.
7:03
Speaker 4: I actually, I'll tell you that's a guy that I
7:05
Speaker 4: worked with at WJN in Chicago for years, and he
7:08
Speaker 4: did not leave like you. He got fired a few times,
7:10
Speaker 4: which happens a lot in radio. He wound up working mornings,
7:13
Speaker 4: middays and afternoons at different points in his career.
7:17
Speaker 5: He just kept coming back.
7:18
Speaker 4: So we'd say goodbye to him, and the internal joke
7:21
Speaker 4: was see you in six months, because you never know
7:23
Speaker 4: what's going to happen.
7:24
Speaker 5: You never know what's going.
7:25
Speaker 4: To change if you don't mind, I would like you
7:27
Speaker 4: to talk a little bit about a fourteen year run
7:30
Speaker 4: at this radio station and getting hired by somebody like
7:33
Speaker 4: Dan Patrick, Like wherever your mind goes in looking back
7:37
Speaker 4: at at how long you've been here and how much
7:39
Speaker 4: you've been a staple.
7:39
Speaker 5: Of this lineup.
7:41
Speaker 7: I told the story so much on the air, I
7:45
Speaker 7: just assume everybody knows it.
7:46
Speaker 5: Sure.
7:47
Speaker 7: Fourteen years ago, I was coming back from another national
7:51
Speaker 7: radio gig that I was part of, came back home
7:54
Speaker 7: to Texas, was did my time in Washington, DC, and
7:57
Speaker 7: I was looking to to to expand, to get out
8:01
Speaker 7: of news and to get to expand into opinion. And
8:05
Speaker 7: that's when I was and still am, the executive director
8:08
Speaker 7: of the Conservative Hispanic Society, and so as part of
8:12
Speaker 7: my duties there, I was trying to vet candidates. And
8:14
Speaker 7: then it was a state Senator by the name of
8:16
Speaker 7: Dan Patrick and state Senator by the name of Ken
8:20
Speaker 7: Paxton who were running for some pretty lofty positions here
8:23
Speaker 7: in Texas, and I talked to them both about their
8:27
Speaker 7: policy positions. All the other candidates, a guy with the
8:31
Speaker 7: name of Dewhurst I can't even I can't even tell
8:35
Speaker 7: you who was running against against Paxton Ken. Paxton spent
8:39
Speaker 7: about forty five minutes with me on the phone talking
8:42
Speaker 7: about what his vision was. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who
8:48
Speaker 7: was a senator, then spent an hour with me describe it.
8:52
Speaker 7: And his opponent got on the phone with me for
8:55
Speaker 7: about thirty seconds and then said, I got to go
8:58
Speaker 7: and never call me back. Of course, that's how much
9:02
Speaker 7: he cared about liberty loving Latinos. So anyway, the rest
9:06
Speaker 7: is history. And it just so happened that a man
9:09
Speaker 7: that was on the morning show Gotvin at Hendy, the
9:12
Speaker 7: owner of the Taste of Texas.
9:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, just down the street, was.
9:15
Speaker 7: Getting yeah, right down the street, great restaurant. I eat
9:18
Speaker 7: there every single time I am down south in Houston.
9:24
Speaker 7: And he was just hanging up his cleats. So the
9:30
Speaker 7: Lieutenant governor then senator said, you know what, I have
9:32
Speaker 7: this little radio station. Would you mind just coming in
9:35
Speaker 7: and quote filling in for a little while? Nice and
9:38
Speaker 7: I that was fourteen years ago.
9:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, these kinds of runs.
9:43
Speaker 4: And I know that a lot of this to some
9:44
Speaker 4: people are can be like, man, he's talking so much
9:46
Speaker 4: about the internalness of the radio station like it might
9:49
Speaker 4: be inside baseball to some. But these kind of runs
9:51
Speaker 4: that at radio stations in general don't usually happen fourteen
9:55
Speaker 4: years at the same place. Doing mornings is unique and
9:58
Speaker 4: has been unique for a long time in this industry.
10:01
Speaker 4: Is there anything you want to say about the feeling
10:03
Speaker 4: you'll have when and I know you're still going to
10:05
Speaker 4: be waking up relatively early for your new gig, but
10:07
Speaker 4: the feeling you have when you're not on the Voice
10:10
Speaker 4: of Taxes at seven o'clock on Monday morning, it.
10:14
Speaker 7: Is going to be it is going to be a
10:15
Speaker 7: different I mean, every single day I send out my rundown,
10:20
Speaker 7: my guest list to Russell Cheryl, the executive producer of
10:25
Speaker 7: the morning show and the program director of KSV, And
10:31
Speaker 7: every day this week I've been saying, oh, this will
10:33
Speaker 7: be the last time, well for a while anyway that
10:36
Speaker 7: I that I'm doing that I'm filling out one of
10:38
Speaker 7: these sure, you know, and it's it's going to be surreal,
10:42
Speaker 7: because when you've done something for fourteen years and you're
10:46
Speaker 7: changing it up, it tends to, you know, it tends
10:50
Speaker 7: to kind of rock your world in a way. You know,
10:52
Speaker 7: when you're when you're used to and you're it's a
10:55
Speaker 7: very comfortable thing to be in the groove if you will,
11:00
Speaker 7: and it's it's gonna be challenging. It's gonna it's gonna
11:03
Speaker 7: be a challenge.
11:04
Speaker 5: But I really look forward well in your.
11:06
Speaker 4: Glutton for punishment, because usually I would say that you
11:08
Speaker 4: get a different time slot, you get to sleep in
11:10
Speaker 4: a bit as a guy that's been doing morning radio
11:12
Speaker 4: for this long, that's not gonna be true for you.
11:14
Speaker 5: I think you're going beyond pretty much the same.
11:16
Speaker 4: I will say one other thing, and then we can
11:18
Speaker 4: go any direction you want with the rest of this conversation.
11:21
Speaker 4: I do have it on good authority that you are
11:24
Speaker 4: tremendously welcome as a guest on whatever the new version
11:27
Speaker 4: of the morning show will be whenever you want to
11:30
Speaker 4: be on to promote anything or do you just like,
11:32
Speaker 4: you know, mess around. I know that whenever Chris Salsado calls,
11:36
Speaker 4: and maybe we'll even make like a Salcedo line for you,
11:39
Speaker 4: like a batphone if you want to call in and
11:41
Speaker 4: be a part of the Voice of Texas. It's gonna
11:43
Speaker 4: be wide open.
11:45
Speaker 7: That's gonna be pretty damnbition And the the invitation is
11:50
Speaker 7: is appreciated, heartfelt, and uh, you know it's every single
11:56
Speaker 7: time I would avail myself of that. Uh, it would
11:59
Speaker 7: be that coming home.
12:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
12:01
Speaker 4: Well, and honestly, no pressure though, because I know you've
12:03
Speaker 4: got a bunch of other things you're going to have
12:05
Speaker 4: that you're doing. Is there anything else you'd like to
12:08
Speaker 4: talk about as far as any politics, any news out there,
12:12
Speaker 4: or anything else you think about when reflecting back on
12:14
Speaker 4: being here for as long as you.
12:15
Speaker 7: Have, Well, I'll cover that news angle tomorrow morning on
12:21
Speaker 7: the show. But I think as focusing in on you know,
12:26
Speaker 7: what KSDV is meant to my family with KSV is
12:30
Speaker 7: meant to to me personally, what the audience has meant
12:36
Speaker 7: to me personally, it's something that well, you've been in
12:41
Speaker 7: You've been in media a long time too, so it's
12:44
Speaker 7: just indescribable when the greatest compliment anybody can pay to
12:49
Speaker 7: a talk show host is I'm picking up what you're
12:52
Speaker 7: laying down. And I've been getting some emails and people
12:56
Speaker 7: have been very kind to say the reason why they
13:00
Speaker 7: tuned in was because of me. There's no greater compliment
13:04
Speaker 7: you can pay a host. Then hey, we get you,
13:08
Speaker 7: and that's it's prett damn bitch, and it's a great
13:11
Speaker 7: feeling you can't describe.
13:13
Speaker 4: I can also tell you that I've now gotten a
13:14
Speaker 4: lot of my fingers in like the digital stuff that
13:17
Speaker 4: we've been doing, and I know a lot of the
13:18
Speaker 4: analytics behind are digital. And it is absolutely true that
13:22
Speaker 4: by and larger morning show had a much bigger audience
13:25
Speaker 4: than a bunch of other things. Not that other audiences
13:27
Speaker 4: weren't good, like other audiences were great at KSV, but
13:30
Speaker 4: when I saw the numbers, I was like, wow, seven
13:33
Speaker 4: and eight o'clock.
13:33
Speaker 5: It seems like we're doing something well for a while here.
13:38
Speaker 4: One last thing I want to just say to you
13:40
Speaker 4: before I let you go, and I thank you so
13:42
Speaker 4: much for making some time and jumping up on this show.
13:44
Speaker 4: I love the thing you do with a muse, which
13:47
Speaker 4: you do every Wednesday. I think it's called the third
13:51
Speaker 4: rail with you and Amuse. Amuse is a giant on X,
13:55
Speaker 4: like a huge account, huge following. How did that happen?
13:59
Speaker 4: I'm just curious is what the story is now? You
14:01
Speaker 4: guys got that going.
14:03
Speaker 7: We've got some mutual friends and I was I'll never
14:07
Speaker 7: remember the first interaction I had with Alex Alexander Muse
14:11
Speaker 7: at Amuse on ex I was putting out every day
14:16
Speaker 7: a synopsis of what would be coming up of the show,
14:18
Speaker 7: all the shows. This was. I was doing television at
14:20
Speaker 7: the time, so it was TV shows, the radio shows,
14:23
Speaker 7: the podcast. So I put in a little synopsis and
14:26
Speaker 7: that that was courtesy of a guy the name of
14:28
Speaker 7: Michael Clemente for those of the industry, he was a
14:32
Speaker 7: giant at Fox News and recently just passed away. I'm
14:36
Speaker 7: sad to report, but somebody who was instrumental and instrumental
14:40
Speaker 7: in bringing me over to to Newsmax in the mornings
14:43
Speaker 7: when we first got on that channel, and so I
14:48
Speaker 7: kept it and then so was I was detailing what
14:52
Speaker 7: was coming up. And his response to me was your
14:55
Speaker 7: text is too small. Make it bigger. And I was like,
15:00
Speaker 7: I responded to him, and then the rest is history.
15:03
Speaker 7: You know, we have some mutual friends that connected us
15:05
Speaker 7: and there it is.
15:07
Speaker 4: Whatever you're going to be doing as your next gig
15:10
Speaker 4: in mornings, it's not going to affect the third rail
15:12
Speaker 4: at all.
15:13
Speaker 7: No, no, and third rails on. It may be a
15:17
Speaker 7: little earlier in the evening, maybe by an hour, but
15:20
Speaker 7: right now it's at six o'clock Easter into eight o'clock,
15:23
Speaker 7: So we may move that up an hour, but maybe not.
15:25
Speaker 7: Maybe we'll just keep away where it is because it's
15:27
Speaker 7: got a nice little sweet spot and getting some following too, though.
15:30
Speaker 4: Anything else you want to promote as far as stuff
15:32
Speaker 4: coming up this week that people can pay attention.
15:34
Speaker 7: To, yeah, that's that's going to be the big announcement.
15:38
Speaker 7: And you know, I'll put a book a book plug
15:40
Speaker 7: in there, you know, the Rise of the liberty loving
15:42
Speaker 7: Latino and New American Revolution. Sure you haven't picked it
15:44
Speaker 7: up from Amazon, go ahead and do it. It's I
15:47
Speaker 7: you know, six hours of audio book. It's kind of
15:51
Speaker 7: like talk radio and carry me along. If you want
15:54
Speaker 7: to go to Amazon and get that, or if you
15:55
Speaker 7: like the tactile sensation of turning those pages in your hand,
16:01
Speaker 7: by all means, go ahead and pick up the hard
16:02
Speaker 7: copy at Amazon.
16:03
Speaker 5: Awesome, Well, thank you so much.
16:05
Speaker 4: Chris Salsato, our morning show host for the last fourteen years,
16:08
Speaker 4: is in the midst of his last week here on
16:10
Speaker 4: the radio. But a lot of other stuff coming up
16:12
Speaker 4: for you, and I just am so happy that you
16:15
Speaker 4: spent some time to chat with me today about it.
16:17
Speaker 4: Everybody should be listening the next few days to whatever's
16:19
Speaker 4: coming up.
16:20
Speaker 5: On your show.
16:21
Speaker 7: Thanks, brother, appreciate it.
16:23
Speaker 5: No problem. We're going to take a quick break.
16:24
Speaker 4: After the break, we will come back and talk about
16:27
Speaker 4: some of the things in the news. I know that
16:29
Speaker 4: to some that might be a bit of over indulgence
16:33
Speaker 4: in us talking about ourselves. But as I said before,
16:36
Speaker 4: and I'll say it again, and this is true for
16:38
Speaker 4: Salsato's run, this is true in general of this industry.
16:43
Speaker 5: It's rare to see something like this.

16:52
Speaker 4: and to be successful in this lot, especially for and
16:55
Speaker 4: I think Chris said this on his own show when
16:58
Speaker 4: he first started discussing the fact that he will be
17:01
Speaker 4: walking away and doing something else, but an independent broadcaster.
17:05
Speaker 4: There's so few of those now in this radio industry
17:08

Speaker 4: This is the Craig Collins Show KSV, the Voice of Texas.
20:26
Speaker 4: Lots and lots of things to talk about. As always,
20:28
Speaker 4: Thanks again to Chris Salsato for making the time to
20:31
Speaker 4: jump on with me and talk about a legendary run,
20:34
Speaker 4: a fourteen year run at a radio station, which I've
20:38
Speaker 4: known several people because I have been in the industry
20:41
Speaker 4: a while, mostly in other places, not in Texas, but
20:43
Speaker 4: I've known several people that have done a duration similar
20:46
Speaker 4: but it was never without getting fired a few times,
20:48
Speaker 4: which I always find amusing in the industry that we
20:51
Speaker 4: work in. Actually, a Hall of fame radio guy friend
20:54
Speaker 4: of mine who's been on the show before, his name
20:56
Speaker 4: is Gary Meyer, told me that in radio you're only
20:59
Speaker 4: in between fire, You're not in between in between working,
21:03
Speaker 4: like the difference is when you have a job. That's
21:05
Speaker 4: how everybody else sees when they don't have a job,
21:08
Speaker 4: we are unemployed more than employed. Granted, not usually true
21:12
Speaker 4: of independent broadcasters. Independent broadcasters more likely to hang on
21:16
Speaker 4: to their talent, and especially the case with Salsato, as
21:19
Speaker 4: long as he's been doing the morning show.
21:21
Speaker 5: All right, let's move on.
21:22
Speaker 4: James tallerco said something that I did play yesterday, and
21:25
Speaker 4: I want to play it again today because I want
21:27
Speaker 4: I want a test to make sure that this audio
21:29
Speaker 4: is working the way it's supposed to. But two, and
21:32
Speaker 4: this is more interesting to me, is the lie that
21:35
Speaker 4: this is because it's absolutely an egregious, ridiculous lie.
21:40
Speaker 10: We have the right to shape our own destinies, and
21:43
Speaker 10: we do that through the vote. And so many brave Americans,
21:46
Speaker 10: so many brave Black Americans, have fought and died for
21:50
Speaker 10: that right.
21:51
Speaker 1: And so for.
21:51
Speaker 10: Politicians in Austin or in Washington, as they're now doing
21:54
Speaker 10: with this, say that they are trying to rob our neighbors,
21:58
Speaker 10: as particularly our Black neighbors, of those God given rights.
22:01
Speaker 10: So I have a track record of using every tool.
22:04
Speaker 5: In my already don't care. I already don't care.
22:06
Speaker 4: But I wanted to play that again yesterday when I
22:08
Speaker 4: talked about that. I was more focused on the weirdness
22:12
Speaker 4: of infusing racial politics into discussions they don't need to
22:16
Speaker 4: be in. And I even reference that my producer, who's
22:19
Speaker 4: a black guy, has said to me before, Producer Phil,
22:22
Speaker 4: that sometimes he feels like we talk quite a bit
22:24
Speaker 4: more about race in the United States than they did
22:27
Speaker 4: in the Bahamas. But there's another valuable component to the
22:30
Speaker 4: discussion about tall Ico saying the Save Act is bad
22:35
Speaker 4: and here's why. And it's not just race baiting, it's
22:37
Speaker 4: not just trying to emotionally make some people support the
22:40
Speaker 4: position for truly like dumb, stupid reasons. The other thing
22:45
Speaker 4: that I find fascinating or important about this discussion is
22:49
Speaker 4: the need to discredit the Save Act itself, the need
22:52
Speaker 4: to attack the idea that we should do something that
22:55
Speaker 4: most Americans agree with, that being secure our elections by
22:59
Speaker 4: record hiring people to have IDs in order to vote.
23:03
Speaker 4: Like that's not controversial, that's not discussed in a controversial
23:07
Speaker 4: way by everyday Americans who talk about it, and so
23:11
Speaker 4: it just it screams a thing that you and I
23:14
Speaker 4: know most people who listen to this show or the
23:17
Speaker 4: station know that maybe a lot of people reject or
23:20
Speaker 4: pretend isn't true other places throughout the world or throughout
23:24
Speaker 4: the country at the very least, which is how often
23:27
Speaker 4: you are lied to by everyday politicians, by so many
23:31
Speaker 4: of them on both sides of the political aisle. And
23:34
Speaker 4: the reason that they do this, the reason they need
23:36
Speaker 4: to lie to you in order to get you to
23:38
Speaker 4: do whatever it is they want to do, they need
23:41
Speaker 4: to manipulate you. And in order to do that, they
23:44
Speaker 4: need to trick you. And the worst possible thing, this
23:47
Speaker 4: is the point of what I'm trying to say, but
23:50
Speaker 4: I think something that Texas will hopefully be taught, not
23:54
Speaker 4: that Texans, a lot of Texans don't already know this,
23:57
Speaker 4: but the worst possible thing for them is an informed
24:01
Speaker 4: electorate is you and me knowing the truth when they
24:05
Speaker 4: tell us a lot, and just wanting that to be
24:07
Speaker 4: a simple piece of information, like just simply wanting to
24:10
Speaker 4: know what the actual facts are, regardless of the input
24:15
Speaker 4: or the opinion or the slant that comes next. You
24:18
Speaker 4: can figure that out on your own what you believe.
24:21
Speaker 4: But that's inevitably how so much of this will go
24:23
Speaker 4: over the next few months with Talariko. He will tell
24:27
Speaker 4: Texans that he doesn't believe things that he believed a
24:31
Speaker 4: short time ago, and he will tell Texans that there
24:35
Speaker 4: are certain things that have been taken out of context.
24:37
Speaker 4: It's the version of and you remember this with Biden
24:40
Speaker 4: when they said that he was he was actually like
24:43
Speaker 4: very intelligent, his brain was working very well, and any
24:47
Speaker 4: time that he'd get lost on a stage, that was
24:50
Speaker 4: being edited inappropriately. So they were essentially like deep fake
24:54
Speaker 4: type of videos even though they were real. And the
24:57
Speaker 4: Democrats claim to you that this was manipulating you on purpose,
25:02
Speaker 4: cutting out the part where Biden's brain worked, and anybody
25:06
Speaker 4: in conservative media that remembers that over the last few
25:09
Speaker 4: years remembered how.
25:10
Speaker 5: Untrue it was. They're like, what do you mean my
25:12
Speaker 5: favorite thing.
25:13
Speaker 4: I'll say this before I move on my favorite thing
25:15
Speaker 4: about comparing anything going on now, any version of people
25:19
Speaker 4: lying to you and telling you something that you categorically
25:22
Speaker 4: should know is not true at all, But any version
25:25
Speaker 4: of that, it's best demonstrated by how ridiculous the lie
25:29
Speaker 4: of Biden's brain working was, and how deep that lie went,
25:33
Speaker 4: how deep that rabbit hole went before they inevitably pivoted COVID.
25:38
Speaker 5: You name the thing where they lied.
25:40
Speaker 4: So profoundly, where Fauci pleads the fifth one hundred and
25:44
Speaker 4: eleven times or whatever it was, in order to avoid
25:47
Speaker 4: any level of being held responsible for the terrible things
25:52
Speaker 4: that he did, the horrible things that he did when
25:56
Speaker 4: he lied to the American people and said he knew
25:58
Speaker 4: things that he didn't know. It's that simple, and there's
26:02
Speaker 4: so many different versions, I think in discussions about this case.
26:05
Speaker 5: In point, I want to play this audio. I think
26:08
Speaker 5: this is interesting.
26:09
Speaker 4: More than twenty Democratic states are suing President Trump and
26:13
Speaker 4: this administration from accessing records of commercial truck drivers. President
26:18
Speaker 4: Trump has claimed, and he's done this with some data,
26:22
Speaker 4: but maybe not as much as we want, that there
26:24
Speaker 4: are a whole lot of people who do certain jobs
26:26
Speaker 4: that have no legal right to do them, or legal
26:28
Speaker 4: right to be here. One of those is truck drivers,
26:31
Speaker 4: and that it's actually inherently dangerous to have people who
26:33
Speaker 4: should not be behind the wheel of a car in
26:35
Speaker 4: this country, that don't have a right to be behind
26:37
Speaker 4: the wheel of a car in this country delivering products
26:40
Speaker 4: for us, and that obviously it creates opportunities for people
26:44
Speaker 4: who are here legally. Whatever those people look like like.
26:47
Speaker 4: I just talked to the liberty loving Latino. It doesn't
26:50
Speaker 4: mean that I think that someone who's legally allowed to
26:52
Speaker 4: be here who's Latino can't drive a commercial vehicle. That's
26:56
Speaker 4: another lie they tell us all the time. They claim
27:00
Speaker 4: that if I think that someone who's illegally here shouldn't
27:03
Speaker 4: be a truck driver, that then I think everybody who
27:05
Speaker 4: looks a certain way shouldn't be a truck driver. That's
27:08
Speaker 4: not true. I don't care what you look like. I
27:10
Speaker 4: just care that you have the status to be here
27:12
Speaker 4: in order to do the job correctly. But here developing
27:15
Speaker 4: story from Fox News in which they talk about the
27:19
Speaker 4: amount of information they're trying to get. This would be
27:21
Speaker 4: the Trump administration about people who drive illegally. And then
27:26
Speaker 4: the way in which certain Blue states are fighting back
27:28
Speaker 4: showdown is.
27:29
Speaker 12: Hitting America's highways. The Trump administration wants the records of
27:32
Speaker 12: seventeen million commercial drivers as it cracks down on who's
27:36
Speaker 12: allowed behind the wheel of trucks and buses, but more
27:40
Speaker 12: than twenty states are suing to stop it. Senior Correspondent
27:44
Speaker 12: Mike Tobin is reporting on all of this out of
27:46
Speaker 12: Chicago for US. Hey, Mike, and.
27:48
Speaker 13: It's sad the Trump administration is trying to get information
27:50
Speaker 13: from state databases about drivers operating big rigs so they
27:53
Speaker 13: can find which of them are in the US illegally.
27:56
Speaker 13: The administration is threatening to withhold federal funds to the
27:59
Speaker 13: states that don't hand over the data. An attorney's general
28:02
Speaker 13: now for more than twenty different states are suing to
28:05
Speaker 13: block the information. Marcus Coleman's daughter, Delilah, was severely injured
28:09
Speaker 13: when they were hit by a truck driven by a
28:10
Speaker 13: man in the US illegally back in twenty twenty four.
28:14
Speaker 13: She just went through another brain surgery. Coleman says his
28:16
Speaker 13: family has been changed forever as century politicians favor illegal
28:21
Speaker 13: immigrants over the safety of someone like his daughter.
28:25
Speaker 14: The government already has that information to begin with. We're
28:27
Speaker 14: not big brothering anybody for making sure that the person
28:30
Speaker 14: who has the driver license is the person who's supposed
28:32
Speaker 14: to have the driver license. Not to mention, the only
28:34
Speaker 14: people that are trying to stop this from going through
28:36
Speaker 14: are the people who have something to hide.
28:38
Speaker 4: Here's the thing about that, which some would call an
28:41
Speaker 4: anecdotal story, but obviously a pretty emotional and important story.
28:44
Speaker 4: In general, if you're someone who doesn't have the legal
28:46
Speaker 4: right to drive, and you're behind the wheel of a
28:48
Speaker 4: vehicle for a company, however big that company might be.
28:51
Speaker 4: It might be your own company, you might create an
28:54
Speaker 4: LLC or not even and which you're doing this as
28:57
Speaker 4: an independent contractor. At the end of the day, if
28:59
Speaker 4: an accident happens, there's a strong likelihood that you might
29:03
Speaker 4: not give any sort of financial support to the people
29:06
Speaker 4: who are the victim of the crash. And so having
29:09
Speaker 4: people that are legally allowed to be behind the wheel
29:12
Speaker 4: of a car in general mitigate some of that risk,
29:15
Speaker 4: a decent amount of that risk in ways that profoundly
29:18
Speaker 4: impact these families, because at the end of the day,
29:21
Speaker 4: if you're someone that's kind of rolling the dice, if
29:23
Speaker 4: you don't have the legitimate desire to work here under
29:29
Speaker 4: a legal status, there's a good chance that you might
29:32
Speaker 4: not actually worry that much about if something that this
29:35
Speaker 4: were to happen, because you'd just be deported and leave.
29:38
Speaker 7: Now.
29:38
Speaker 4: Granted, if you kill somebody, you go to jail, but nonetheless,
29:41
Speaker 4: I just thought that that was pretty important, pretty interesting,
29:44
Speaker 4: and valuable as far as the discussion goes about the
29:48
Speaker 4: topic of why people on a certain side feel the
29:52
Speaker 4: way they do about making sure that something is safer,
29:55
Speaker 4: or that people are more protected and they're protected through
29:58
Speaker 4: the same legal channels that we're all protected on on
30:01
Speaker 4: so many other issues.
30:03
Speaker 5: To say the very least, by the way, I would
30:06
Speaker 5: be remiss.
30:07
Speaker 4: I should say this now before I get too much
30:09
Speaker 4: deeper into political topics. It is my wife's birthday today.
30:13
Speaker 4: I do want to wish my wife a happy birthday.
30:15
Speaker 4: My wife is a US citizen that was born in Mexico,
30:20
Speaker 4: got married to me while she was still studying school,
30:23
Speaker 4: and then boom bada bing baa boom, became a US citizen.
30:26
Speaker 4: And there are a lot of topics that I talk
30:28
Speaker 4: about that are pretty popular mainstream media, or I guess
30:33
Speaker 4: you can call it even conservative media topics that I
30:36
Speaker 4: filter through thinking about my wife and thinking about her
30:40
Speaker 4: and what sometimes moves her, what sometimes matters to her,
30:44
Speaker 4: and the complexity of some of these discussions, some of
30:47
Speaker 4: these cases, and the inevitability that no matter how much
30:51
Speaker 4: emotion or I would even say compassion, people have for
30:56
Speaker 4: some of the ways the stuff gets talked about, especially
30:59
Speaker 4: in a taxi where there are a lot of people
31:01
Speaker 4: who look like my wife and a lot of people
31:04
Speaker 4: who sound like my wife. But making sure that whatever
31:08
Speaker 4: we're doing from policy perspective, from any sort of other perspective,
31:12
Speaker 4: still addresses the issues that become a huge problem for
31:15
Speaker 4: our society when rules are not followed. I don't know
31:18
Speaker 4: if I'm saying that clearly enough, so I'll try to
31:20
Speaker 4: say it again. And part of me is even inspired
31:22
Speaker 4: by having the liberty loving Latino on.
31:24
Speaker 5: The show earlier.
31:26
Speaker 4: I think it's such a lazy thing for people in
31:30
Speaker 4: certain political places, whether that's pundits on the left or
31:34
Speaker 4: politicians on the left, to just claim racism on the right,
31:38
Speaker 4: to claim like that's the thing, that's the moving objective,
31:41
Speaker 4: that's the force that makes people say that I'd rather
31:46
Speaker 4: have people with legal status than illegal status.
31:49
Speaker 5: Here in this country. That is just racism.
31:51
Speaker 4: You just hate people, and you want, you know, other
31:53
Speaker 4: people to hate people to It couldn't be further from
31:56
Speaker 4: the truth. And it's always something that bounces around up
32:00
Speaker 4: here in the old noggin I when any of these
32:03
Speaker 4: topics come up, and it's silly because and I'll tell
32:05
Speaker 4: you this, and we'll probably take a break in a
32:07
Speaker 4: little bit by changing my message, which I don't do,
32:12
Speaker 4: but by changing it even a little to tell you
32:15
Speaker 4: that I contemplate these things. I'm giving the left a
32:18
Speaker 4: little bit of what it wants. The left is trying
32:21
Speaker 4: to force me, force you, force all of us to
32:25
Speaker 4: not have certain conversations and not say certain things, and
32:28
Speaker 4: doubt ourselves, doubt the motivations that others might have.
32:33
Speaker 5: Who agree with us. All of that crap.
32:35
Speaker 4: All of those things are to simply control the narrative
32:38
Speaker 4: and control the conversation and to skirt away from the
32:41
Speaker 4: stuff that is most damaging to their side. And the DSA,
32:45
Speaker 4: the Democratic Socialists of America are doing this more than
32:50
Speaker 4: anybody else I've ever seen in my twenty something years
32:54
Speaker 4: doing some version of radio where these news stories.
32:57
Speaker 5: Get talked about.
32:59
Speaker 4: The Democratics Socials of America want to tell you solutions
33:02
Speaker 4: to problems that they claim all of us want and need,
33:08
Speaker 4: and yet they don't actually tell you what the reality
33:12
Speaker 4: of their.
33:12
Speaker 5: Quote unquote solution would be.
33:14
Speaker 4: And I'll give you examples before I take another break.
33:17
Speaker 4: The Democratic Socialist of America tell you and tell me
33:21
Speaker 4: that the best way to fix poverty is to take
33:24
Speaker 4: money from rich people, which is a tried and true
33:27
Speaker 4: version of a discussion that's been going on forever on
33:30
Speaker 4: the left. It's just more aggressive and how the messaging
33:33
Speaker 4: is now, and it absolutely fails time and again. That
33:37
Speaker 4: is not a way to actually solve any version of
33:40
Speaker 4: poverty that exists in our society. And it's not just
33:43
Speaker 4: that you tick down the line of like, well, we need.
33:46
Speaker 5: To do this.
33:47
Speaker 4: Wages are unfair over here, we need to force companies
33:50
Speaker 4: to pay people more money. All of these things that
33:53
Speaker 4: just never actually happen. The best way to make our
33:57
Speaker 4: society more I don't know, to function more profitably for
34:04
Speaker 4: you and me, for us to have a better day
34:06
Speaker 4: to day life, is for the whole of the United
34:09
Speaker 4: States to succeeds as a group, as an economy, as everything,
34:14
Speaker 4: and only one party actually is doing a lot to
34:17
Speaker 4: make that success a reality. When companies struggle, If policies
34:22
Speaker 4: are instituted that cause companies to make less money than
34:25
Speaker 4: they made the year before, they take it out in
34:28
Speaker 4: the consumer. They don't take it out of themselves. They
34:31
Speaker 4: do everything they can to prevent their bottom line from
34:34
Speaker 4: being hurt. Accepting that seems to be one of the
34:37
Speaker 4: first big changes that happens for people that are twenty
34:41
Speaker 4: somethings that lean pretty far to the left that become
34:44
Speaker 4: thirty forty to fifty somethings that lean further and further
34:47
Speaker 4: to the right, is understanding that you simply can't dictate
34:52
Speaker 4: to some how things go. They'll continue to be able
34:56
Speaker 4: to choose for themselves what they do and how they function,
35:00
Speaker 4: mainly successful business owners and successful people in our society,
35:04
Speaker 4: and any version of us penalizing them would inevitably hurt
35:07
Speaker 4: us more than it actually hurts them, which I think.
35:11
Speaker 5: Is fairly obvious to a lot of people.
35:13
Speaker 4: I want to play one last thing, one last piece
35:15
Speaker 4: of audio, and then we'll take a break. We'll come
35:18
Speaker 4: back and we'll do a little bit more serious but
35:21
Speaker 4: mostly silly, probably before we get out of here. I
35:24
Speaker 4: do think this is interesting. Fox News and their power
35:27
Speaker 4: rankings have said that there are two toss ups. One
35:31
Speaker 4: toss up is Michigan and another toss up is Texas.
35:35
Speaker 4: As far as current Senate races are going, you heard
35:39
Speaker 4: Paul Bettencourt, Senator Bettancourt on the Friday Show that I
35:43
Speaker 4: did it right after the Amigos, and certainly on the
35:46
Speaker 4: Amigos too, talk about the oddity, the tragedy that whatever
35:50
Speaker 4: you want to call it, that would be Michigan, and
35:52
Speaker 4: this would be a good thing going red, but Texas
35:56
Speaker 4: going blue. And luckily, right now, I think that most
35:59
Speaker 4: of the information actually sees a slight lean Republican for Texas.
36:03
Speaker 4: But in doing so, they say that there's a slight
36:05
Speaker 4: lean Democratic for Michigan, which I find interesting. But that
36:09
Speaker 4: would be horrible if we don't actually win a seat
36:13
Speaker 4: in the Senate, because we see something awful happen here
36:17
Speaker 4: in the state.
36:17
Speaker 15: But here we go and focus on the yellow. Here,
36:20
Speaker 15: the toss up races have changed. Okay, I'll show you
36:23
Speaker 15: over there in a moment. Here, but two on this
36:25
Speaker 15: map now have been adjusted. Jason will swing on over
36:27
Speaker 15: here and show you the six toss ups in the middle.
36:30
Speaker 15: We think Democrats are safe in forty seven. Republicans are
36:33
Speaker 15: safe in forty seven as well, But the six in
36:35
Speaker 15: the middle are up for debate and up for a
36:37
Speaker 15: vote come November. Now, this could change, and that could change,
36:40
Speaker 15: but right now, this is what has changed thus far. Today,
36:43
Speaker 15: I'll advance at one time, and here's why Texas went
36:46
Speaker 15: from lean Republican to a toss up.
36:48
Speaker 1: Carl is coming up in a moment.
36:50
Speaker 15: He'll explain that Michigan based on the outcome of the
36:53
Speaker 15: vote last week of al saied one from a lean
36:55
Speaker 15: Democrat to a toss up as well. So now you
36:58
Speaker 15: have here in the middlet Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Ohio.
37:02
Speaker 8: And Texas.
37:03
Speaker 15: We believe a half dozen states will determine the majority.
37:07
Speaker 4: And it's so often true, by the way, that most
37:10
Speaker 4: of the things that get determined, as far as control
37:13
Speaker 4: within our government of anything maybe other than the presidency,
37:17
Speaker 4: are a very small select number of states. Even when
37:20
Speaker 4: you talk about like the actual presidential elections and the
37:24
Speaker 4: states that are unpredictable, the states that go one way
37:26
Speaker 4: or the other, or in the case of President Trump,
37:29
Speaker 4: how he won all of the battleground states, which was
37:33
Speaker 4: surprising to some, not surprising to me. It's just interesting.
37:37
Speaker 4: But I will say this, and I'll say this as
37:39
Speaker 4: candidly as I can. I think that everybody out there
37:43
Speaker 4: that can hear this show today can hear this message
37:46
Speaker 4: that wants to make sure that Texas doesn't abandon its
37:49
Speaker 4: own belief system and put someone in a position of
37:52
Speaker 4: power that doesn't actually reflect the beliefs of Texas at all.
37:55
Speaker 4: That you have to tell people the stuff that they
37:58
Speaker 4: might not know. You have to inform the electorate about
38:00
Speaker 4: the things that people are pretending are not true. And
38:03
Speaker 4: even if they don't receive the message because they doubt
38:06
Speaker 4: the messenger, hopefully something somewhere clicks and they go look
38:10
Speaker 4: for themselves. Because I do think that once people get
38:13
Speaker 4: enough information, it's impossible for tall Rico to truly represent
38:19
Speaker 4: this state. And yet this conversation keeps happening, and it
38:22
Speaker 4: keeps getting deeper and more serious to how many people,
38:26
Speaker 4: not just the Foxes of the world, but other places,
38:29
Speaker 4: believe that it could happen, believe that we're getting closer
38:31
Speaker 4: and closer to a toss up and a race that
38:35
Speaker 4: should not be this close. All right, Well, take another break.
38:37
Speaker 4: After the break, we'll come back and do just a
38:39
Speaker 4: little bit more news, and then after that we will
38:41
Speaker 4: talk about some lighter stuff before we get out of here.
38:43
Speaker 4: It is your Tuesday show on the Craig Collins Show KSV,
38:47
Speaker 4: The Voice of Texas.
38:48
Speaker 16: This is Kevin O'Hara with O'Hara and Company real Estate.
38:50
Speaker 16: Our country's founding fathers drafted a document that is the
38:53
Speaker 16: Declaration of Independence.

Speaker 1: We hold these truths to be self.
38:57

39:00

39:06
Speaker 5: To secure these.
39:07

41:45
Speaker 17: two eight one two five to one oh three oh four.
41:48
Speaker 4: This is the Craig Collins show KSV, The Voice of Texas.
41:52
Speaker 4: I was just talking to my producer Phil Off the
41:54
Speaker 4: air about whether or not he was a Tupac fan.
41:57
Speaker 4: Tupac Shakur is someone who was killed in nineteen ninety
42:00
Speaker 4: six via a drive by shooting, and the murder trial
42:05
Speaker 4: of Dwayne Davis is occurring in Vegas now, which is
42:10
Speaker 4: odd to me because it's twenty twenty six. So, like,
42:13
Speaker 4: I saw this as a headline the other day, and
42:15
Speaker 4: I kind of knew what was going on here. I
42:17
Speaker 4: wasn't a huge listener of Tupac myself, and I'm guessing
42:20
Speaker 4: a lot of the radio audience at KCV or not
42:22
Speaker 4: huge Tupac fans, although he's absolutely a legend in the field.
42:26
Speaker 4: But I think it's interesting that it's thirty years later
42:29
Speaker 4: that we're actually seeing somebody in a courtroom being tried
42:32
Speaker 4: for this.
42:32
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's anything you want to say
42:34
Speaker 5: about it, Phil.
42:34
Speaker 1: I don't think there was focused on his child for really.
42:36
Speaker 1: I think there was more so concerned with other stuff
42:39
Speaker 1: going on in the che They were just pushing into
42:41
Speaker 1: the sign till they couldn't anymore, and they just had
42:43
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of it.
42:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess, man, I don't know.
42:46
Speaker 4: It's weird to see something thirty years in the making
42:48
Speaker 4: finally become the kind of thing where I think, like
42:51
Speaker 4: a revenge motive is being discussed in the courtroom today
42:55
Speaker 4: in Vegas, sug Knight said that he had to be
42:59
Speaker 4: treated as a hostile witness early on, which I think
43:02
Speaker 4: is that you know what's really interesting about this. I'll
43:04
Speaker 4: be honest, man, if you cared a lot about Tupac,
43:08
Speaker 4: and I know you said you listened to his music
43:10
Speaker 4: a lot, but whatever, like replace Tupac for anyone listening
43:14
Speaker 4: with whatever something is you care about. If a trial
43:16
Speaker 4: happens within a couple of years of the horrible thing
43:19
Speaker 4: that occurred for me, A good example is Charlie Kirk.
43:23
Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and now that trial is taking place,
43:26
Speaker 4: some level of me emotionally is invested. But when it
43:31
Speaker 4: goes thirty years, I wonder if it's like just a
43:34
Speaker 4: cerebral just logical, it's no longer the emotional kind of
43:37
Speaker 4: thing it is for people they just kind of want
43:39
Speaker 4: the answers, they want the truth. Now they're not quite
43:42
Speaker 4: as likely to, I think, maybe devolve into conspiracy theory,
43:46
Speaker 4: as unfortunately we've seen in the Charlie kirk case.
43:49
Speaker 5: They're just waiting to see what the end result of
43:52
Speaker 5: this is.
43:52
Speaker 4: Does that sound right that if you take this long
43:55
Speaker 4: that it relieves some of the version of more emotional
43:58
Speaker 4: discussion of this topic.
44:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a way. I mean at this point, like
44:03
Speaker 1: you said, people just want to know what happened for you,
44:05
Speaker 1: yeah he did it or that. I mean, yeah, at
44:07
Speaker 1: this point because a lot of stuff happened after that happened,
44:11
Speaker 1: So it's like, yes, why are you going back to
44:14
Speaker 1: this at such a late time. It's a lot of questions,
44:17
Speaker 1: But yeah, at this point, I'm just trying to figure
44:19
Speaker 1: out who, if he did it or that.
44:20
Speaker 4: No, and I appreciate something you just said there because
44:22
Speaker 4: I do like it a lot. There are several times
44:25
Speaker 4: when if something takes like thirty years to materialize in
44:28
Speaker 4: the courtroom, I sort of doubt if it's true, like
44:32
Speaker 4: from jump, like, I'll pay attention, and I'm not saying
44:35
Speaker 4: that I can't be convinced that something is is accurate,
44:38
Speaker 4: But when it takes this long to get to the
44:39
Speaker 4: point where they're then putting someone on trial for something
44:42
Speaker 4: like this, you kind of figure that maybe some evidence
44:45
Speaker 4: has been changed, some things have been you know, like
44:48
Speaker 4: there's a lot more suspicion I think when it takes
44:51
Speaker 4: this long to get here.
44:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel as though they lost some evidence, the evidence.
44:54
Speaker 1: Can somebody high and something. It's like somebody got fired
44:58
Speaker 1: and they just took it with him or it burned
44:59
Speaker 1: it like it's something going on behind the scenes. But
45:03
Speaker 1: shll yeah, fair god, it took too long.
45:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, because yeah, it takes you long, but you still
45:06
Speaker 4: want somebody to be held responsible. So like party you
45:08
Speaker 4: is also like, will prove to me that it's true,
45:10
Speaker 4: and then I'll be very happy that I know that
45:12
Speaker 4: you know, this is what actually happened.
45:14
Speaker 5: By the way, this is totally different. It has nothing
45:16
Speaker 5: to do with Tupac.
45:18
Speaker 4: But as I've been doing the show, I'm noticing something
45:20
Speaker 4: on my wrist that you can't see, and I'll hold
45:23
Speaker 4: it up and I doubt even the camera can make
45:25
Speaker 4: it out very well. My wife, as I said, her
45:28
Speaker 4: birthday is today, and she was in I forget like
45:32
Speaker 4: what thrift store with me. But we're in some kind
45:34
Speaker 4: of thrift store, Phil and she saw these stickers. At
45:38
Speaker 4: least we thought they were stickers for like Minions, And
45:40
Speaker 4: my wife loves the Minions because they talk like her.
45:43
Speaker 5: She says.
45:44
Speaker 4: My wife speaks fluent English, by the way, and the
45:46
Speaker 4: minions speak gibberish. But occasionally when the minions are speaking,
45:49
Speaker 4: they're gibberish. My wife is like, oh, yeah, that's great.
45:52
Speaker 4: So we bought these things. They're not stickers, they're they're
45:55
Speaker 4: those water tattoos that like kids get. Yeah, and my
45:58
Speaker 4: wife put one on me today and she's like, celebrate
46:01
Speaker 4: my birthday with this minion tattoo. And I feel like
46:05
Speaker 4: everybody that works here has noticed it. Maybe you didn't
46:07
Speaker 4: notice it, and like just looked at me, like does
46:09
Speaker 4: Craig have a minion tattoo on his wrist? Because I don't.
46:13
Speaker 4: This is a fake tattoo. It's gonna go away soon.
46:15
Speaker 4: But I'm just wearing it because the missus told me.
46:17
Speaker 5: I had to.
46:18
Speaker 1: Hey man, that's amazing that that's beautiful.
46:21
Speaker 5: Act Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was this morning.
46:24
Speaker 4: I woke up because she leaves pretty early for work,
46:26
Speaker 4: and so I woke up to give her hug and
46:27
Speaker 4: stuff and wash her happy birthday, And then she put
46:29
Speaker 4: a minion tattoo on my wrist and I was like,
46:31
Speaker 4: when do I take this off? But if I went
46:34
Speaker 4: home tonight without the tattoo. I feel like that, right,
46:38
Speaker 4: he's not in.
46:39
Speaker 5: His head a problem, right, Yeah, exactly.
46:43
Speaker 4: By the way, I told the missus that I would
46:45
Speaker 4: get her dinner, but I come home kind of late
46:47
Speaker 4: because of the radio show, and she was like, well,
46:49
Speaker 4: what about just like Chipotle? So I'm taking the wife
46:52
Speaker 4: out to dinner by stopping by Chipotle on the way
46:55
Speaker 4: home and bringing her Chipotle on the way home. I
46:57
Speaker 4: feel kind of bad about that. I feel like that's
46:59
Speaker 4: not good enough. But it's what she wanted. It's what
47:02
Speaker 4: she asked for. I remember as a kid my birthday
47:05
Speaker 4: we'd always have pizza Hut Pizza and I loved it,
47:08
Speaker 4: and I still have it as a forty year old
47:09
Speaker 4: man for my birthday. But I don't know that's what
47:13
Speaker 4: she wants. She wants Chipotle.
47:15
Speaker 1: So everybody doesn't want anything crazy expansive. She might just
47:18
Speaker 1: want to be simple to this. You might just want
47:20
Speaker 1: to just get something where she liked her she craven,
47:21
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Just keep it, you know,
47:23
Speaker 1: just keep it simple.
47:24
Speaker 4: You know what I love about that is, Yes, if
47:25
Speaker 4: you look at like the price of certain restaurants, no,
47:28
Speaker 4: no offense, there's a lot of great restaurants in Houston
47:30
Speaker 4: that you should probably go to. But I had this
47:32
Speaker 4: idea in the back of my head, and I don't
47:34
Speaker 4: know if you've been there. There's a Michelin Star Mexican
47:37
Speaker 4: restaurant in Houston. You know about this, You know about
47:40
Speaker 4: the Michelin Star. Yeah, just one Houston Mexican restaurant that
47:44
Speaker 4: has a Michelin Star. And I was like, man, I
47:46
Speaker 4: should take Betty there. That'd be so impressive. She'd she'd
47:50
Speaker 4: love it so much.
47:51
Speaker 5: It's in crazy, It's it'd be incredible. Uh tom Atao
47:54
Speaker 5: is the name? Or is that? Am I saying it right?
47:58
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying.
48:00
Speaker 5: But anyway, I pitched this terr the other day.
48:02
Speaker 4: I'm like, we should do this, and two things we're
48:06
Speaker 4: terrible about this pitch. First, you can't get a reservation
48:09
Speaker 4: a week or two before at this place, Like that'll
48:11
Speaker 4: be a month for us to get a reservation. The
48:13
Speaker 4: other one, it's a tasting menu, and the price of
48:17
Speaker 4: the entire meal, not that I'm saying people shouldn't go
48:20
Speaker 4: to this place is a lot of money.
48:23
Speaker 5: And I showed it to her and she's like, no,
48:25
Speaker 5: we can't do that.
48:26
Speaker 4: I can't spend that amount of money for two people
48:28
Speaker 4: to have a meal when I could just get Chipotle.
48:30
Speaker 5: And this is why I married the woman. Man, is
48:33
Speaker 5: this is the win of all wins.
48:35
Speaker 4: That I tried to pitch her the most expensive Mexican
48:37
Speaker 4: place in town and she was like, that's incredibly dumb.
48:42
Speaker 5: Thanks dick, hey, thank you. Yeah.
48:44
Speaker 4: And actually, my other favorite part of that is that
48:46
Speaker 4: she told me that some of these ideas I come
48:49
Speaker 4: up with are really just for me.
48:50
Speaker 5: They're not even really for it's just for me to
48:53
Speaker 5: enjoy myself. A lot of this stuff.
48:55
Speaker 4: The missus is also texting me that she is very
48:57
Speaker 4: proud of the fact that we're both in our and
49:00
Speaker 4: she has a dollar tree minion tattoo on my arm.
49:05
Speaker 1: Man, I know she loves that though, Like it's just
49:08
Speaker 1: about making it happy, you know what I mean. At
49:10
Speaker 1: the birthday, let her enjoy, let her give what you
49:12
Speaker 1: regardless of what it is.
49:14
Speaker 4: I mean, I totally forgot that it was the dollar tree.
49:16
Speaker 4: She texted me, She's like, that was the dollar tree.
49:18
Speaker 4: We were there last night. I bought this, and she
49:20
Speaker 4: bought like cookies and stuff that she brought to work.
49:23
Speaker 4: All right, some other things out there before we get
49:25
Speaker 4: out of here, certainly not serious things.
49:27
Speaker 5: I'd rather do silly stuff.
49:29
Speaker 4: I did talk about a story yesterday and then even
49:32
Speaker 4: my mother texted me, like, I want more information about
49:36
Speaker 4: the thing that happened. A woman spray painted herself and
49:39
Speaker 4: some of her dead bushes green to avoid an hoa penalty.
49:44
Speaker 4: So a woman, I think this was in Florida, a
49:47
Speaker 4: homeowner found out that she can be penalized for like
49:51
Speaker 4: dead bushes in front of her house, and so in
49:54
Speaker 4: order to prevent that from happening, she first spray painted
49:58
Speaker 4: the bushes to make sure that they looked like green
50:00
Speaker 4: and vibrant and not as dead as they were. And
50:03
Speaker 4: when that didn't seem to be convincing enough, she spray
50:05
Speaker 4: painted herself and got inside the bushes and then put
50:08
Speaker 4: up a video of it. If someone was like examining this,
50:12
Speaker 4: if they were checking it out walking by, she thought
50:15
Speaker 4: she was hidden well enough. If you look this up
50:17
Speaker 4: on social media, I think most of us agree she
50:20
Speaker 4: was not that she would have tricked people into thinking
50:22
Speaker 4: it was just the butches bushes, excuse me, and not
50:25
Speaker 4: a human plus a bunch of spray painted stuff. But
50:28
Speaker 4: I love every part of this story because a lot
50:30
Speaker 4: of people hate their Homeowners Association, their HOA, and sometimes
50:34
Speaker 4: you do very silly things to get out of very penny,
50:39
Speaker 4: very stupid penalties, very just annoying things that they do.
50:44
Speaker 5: This is one of those moves.
50:45
Speaker 4: Like I think she shouldn't get a forty five dollars
50:48
Speaker 4: penalty in a fine, like a petty punishment, because she
50:52
Speaker 4: went this far to try to prevent it.
50:54
Speaker 5: I think she gets the win.
50:55
Speaker 4: If you spray paint yourself green and throw yourself in
50:57
Speaker 4: some bushes, you get to avoid the penalty.
51:00
Speaker 1: They're doing that to set an example. They don't want
51:02
Speaker 1: nobody else going into the bushes. Scrap, That's what it is.
51:05
Speaker 1: Isn't that serious. I don't want to deal with it anymore.
51:08
Speaker 1: All right, we gonna make an example out of it.
51:10
Speaker 4: I love I love that you said that, man, Like,
51:12
Speaker 4: we can't have anybody else doing this. Everybody else in
51:15
Speaker 4: town is trying to spray paint themselves and dive in
51:17
Speaker 4: their bushes in order to get this done. Other things
51:20
Speaker 4: out there that I saw. Polyester is gen Z's newest
51:24
Speaker 4: viral insult. Do you know what polyester means? If someone
51:27
Speaker 4: gets called polyester.
51:29
Speaker 1: I really don't. I know the material polyester, but I
51:33
Speaker 1: don't know someone being called.
51:35
Speaker 4: Tell me what you think polyester is? Like, it's it's
51:38
Speaker 4: as far as like a clothing material. If you have
51:40
Speaker 4: something that's polyester not cotton, what does that mean?
51:43
Speaker 1: It's pretty? It's not it's not really durable, it's pretty,
51:47
Speaker 1: Like yeah.
51:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what it means.
51:50
Speaker 4: If you get called polyester by a gen Z or
51:53
Speaker 4: if they're like, hey, you're pretty polyester, they're saying you're
51:56
Speaker 4: a low quality person, you're inauthentic, you're not as good
52:00
Speaker 4: as other people out there.
52:02
Speaker 5: And they can even go so far as apparently claim.
52:04
Speaker 4: That you have a polyester lifestyle, which means that a
52:07
Speaker 4: lot of the things you're doing, maybe even some of
52:09
Speaker 4: the stuff you brag about in social media, it's low
52:12
Speaker 4: quality and not as cool as it looks. This is
52:15
Speaker 4: the latest insult in the world of the gen Z.
52:18
Speaker 4: I think they try too hard. I know you're gen
52:20
Speaker 4: Z too, aren't you?
52:21
Speaker 5: Gen Z?
52:21
Speaker 1: You are I'm twenty six going on twenty seven.
52:24
Speaker 4: I think that's in the I think that's in the ballpark.
52:27
Speaker 4: I think that a lot of the slang is just
52:28
Speaker 4: trying too hard. Man every time I've ever talked about
52:30
Speaker 4: gen z slang, and I'm a millennial, I just feel
52:34
Speaker 4: like it's Internet slang run amuck, and there's so many
52:37
Speaker 4: things you could just not do, and yet they do them.
52:40
Speaker 5: Anyway. Are you a slang guy or no?
52:43
Speaker 1: I am a slang guy, but I feel though it
52:44
Speaker 1: is just like modern day slang. I mean, people just
52:48
Speaker 1: come up with stuff every day just to go viral
52:51
Speaker 1: or be popular. I mean, most people are not going
52:54
Speaker 1: to use it, but it's going to be somebody that's
52:56
Speaker 1: going to be like, hey, this is training use it.
52:59
Speaker 4: The thing I don't get is when like my fifty
53:01
Speaker 4: something year old friend will text me something and there'll
53:04
Speaker 4: be a slang word in there, and I'm like, no,
53:06
Speaker 4: I can't not from you, man, Like if my nephew
53:09
Speaker 4: does this, I can.
53:10
Speaker 5: I can appreciate it. But if you send me something
53:12
Speaker 5: and you're like low low key your cap or whatever
53:15
Speaker 5: the crap is, people.
53:16
Speaker 4: Say I can't, I immediately have to be very upset
53:19
Speaker 4: with a person for that reason.
53:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I mean it's just a demographic thing. You
53:23
Speaker 1: know that demographic mom'so a age thing. I mean, not
53:27
Speaker 1: with it. They're going to be like oh you're lame.
53:29
Speaker 5: But no, I hate no cap. That means like I'm
53:33
Speaker 5: telling the truth, right.
53:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, basically like you're being honest, Like, yeah, I.
53:38
Speaker 5: Really hate that one. I don't know why I hate
53:40
Speaker 5: that one so much, but I do.
53:42
Speaker 4: Anytime anybody sends me a text and they follow up
53:44
Speaker 4: with a no cap, I'm like, I didn't disbelieve you.
53:48
Speaker 4: It's not like I needed and you could just tell
53:50
Speaker 4: me I'm telling you the truth.
53:51
Speaker 5: I don't know.
53:52
Speaker 1: In other words, I'm not joking, but yeah.
53:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm not doing it no matter how many people.
53:57
Speaker 4: And I do have family members that try to make
53:59
Speaker 4: me give the slang back, and I won't play.
54:02
Speaker 5: I won't play that ballgame, man, I just refuse. All right,
54:05
Speaker 5: that's it. That's the whole show. I know.
54:06
Speaker 4: We kind of ended on a sillier note, partially because
54:09
Speaker 4: I got distracted by my minion tattoo that I swear
54:13
Speaker 4: a couple of the bosses who work here, we're looking
54:15
Speaker 4: at my arm and just didn't say anything, which is
54:18
Speaker 4: my favorite, Like when they look at you like I've
54:20
Speaker 4: never seen that tattoo on Craig before, and then they
54:22
Speaker 4: don't want to ask about it. But it's not real.
54:25
Speaker 4: For anyone listening now, it is not, in fact, a
54:27
Speaker 4: real thing.
54:27
Speaker 5: That's it. That's the show.
54:28
Speaker 4: See you guys next time. Craig Collins Show KSV, Voice
54:31
