Are You Worried About AI? Callers Weigh In, Plus Talarico's Gender Identity Comments · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: And now, the mob guys break all your knees and.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: It is the Mob Guys on KSEV Radio. I am
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Craig Colonays, which is still weird for me to say.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I want to say Collins, and yet Wayne Dolcefino has
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: forced me to actually use my real name on the radio.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: I work with an investigative journalist for like two weeks,
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: and all of a sudden I have no more fake
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: radio names, which I really liked having a radio name,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: by the way.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: But it's done. Craig Colonays here.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Wayne is on special assignment today, so he will probably
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: be with us again tomorrow. Lots and lots of things
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: out there to talk about. I think one of the
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: biggest conversations, though, if we're going back and forth as
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: to what matters most here in Texas, it's the offensive
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: that has actually started against James Tallarico. I saw a
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: bunch of commercials last night for Paxton or Paxton campaign
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: ads or PAC ads. I saw a bunch of them
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: while watching television. Now, granted, I always watch it. on
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: an internet TV provider. So I don't watch over the
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: television version of TV. So people would have to tell
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: me if that's something that's only specific to YouTube and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: other versions of that kind of television, or if that's
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: something that you're seeing all over the place.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: But it's a really good thing because it has to happen.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: And I think one of the better new discoveries, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: this I don't think is actually in an attack ad yet,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: but it probably will be because it's also found by
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: one of those packs the Lone Star Liberty pack that's
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: been doing, I think, a really good job of packaging
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the crazy stuff Tallarico has said into 30-second spots. The
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Amigos played one on Friday that I thought was really good.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: But here, I can play this one. I just think
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: that this is what you need a lot more of.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: If Tallarico is going to go out there and claim
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: that he is not actually a crazy, radical, insane person
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: and that he actually thinks there's two genders, not six—
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: and then for gender abnormalities or something, which is what
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: he said, then we need to refresh people on how
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: often he disagreed with himself a short time ago.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: And he did this politically.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: He didn't just do this when he was, say, a
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: guy walking around on the street who had a social
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: media account.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: He did this in front of a whole bunch of
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: other politicians. Here's one of those examples, but we'll probably play.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: A lot of these today. If this actually plays.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: There we go.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Let me start it again.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I think there are some folks that would think that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: if you deny your child's gender identity, that that's incredibly harmful.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And whether or not we label it with the term abuse,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's abusive for sure. And so that's where
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think some of us have concerns, and I don't
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: want to speak for other members.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that it will, should it say, or you're suggesting
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: it ought to say that it should include a person's
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: willingness or unwillingness to acknowledge a child's gender.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Or should it be silent as to whether.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: That is abuse, whether it needs.
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: It at all?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: My just concern is ruling it out as not being abuse,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I think, is dangerous and could certainly harm some of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: our most vulnerable kids in the state. The only thing
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'll just say, just for my colleagues, I think, to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: help crystallize disagreement, or at least the concerns, is that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: some of us, I think, really do consider this Abusive behavior.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So when we talk about neutrality or privacy.
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: Can you clarify the abusive behavior?
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: Sorry.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: An unwillingness to identify or to acknowledge a child's gender identity.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We consider that abusive to the child.
• 4:21
  Speaker 11: What?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Abusive and destructive. And I don't mean, I'm not trying
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to use legal terms, but I say that because if
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that's our belief, a foundational belief, then the idea of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: being neutral on any kind of abuse is seems worrisome
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to us.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Okay so the point of this if you were paying
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: attention for the whole minute 30 there and i love
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the fact that during this uh council meeting there were
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: members that were like we're totally fine with you saying
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: out loud that we definitely disagree with you that this
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: is definitive um your side versus our side version of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: a conversation what i think is really really important is
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: how deep he dives into gender identity because again this
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: is a person who has now claimed that he thinks
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: there are just two genders. So what the hell is
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: he talking about would be my reaction to him now.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: If he, as a politician, was trying to make an
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: argument that there are, in fact, six genders, that kids
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: can decide what gender they are, and then we have
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to actually provide them with medical treatment that may change
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: their bodies forever. That's all the argument that Tallarico is
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: making as, again, a political person.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: This is not something he did. So you can't say.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Again and again and again to every one of these
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: radical opinions that you have that I misspoke or I
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: was trying to be a little bit provocative. I don't
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: actually believe that if we can go back and find
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: you heavily debating and trying to say the exact opposite,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Tallarico assumes a lot of people won't pay attention to
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: this because I played you a minute and 30 seconds
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: of something instead of five seconds of something. But if
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: you really need to understand someone's true opinion and You
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: have to dive a little bit deeper.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: And here, case in point, I love this.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: This is Fox showing you that if people actually do
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: believe that Tallarico thinks there's six genders, in Texas, that's
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: going to be a non-starter. That's not going to go
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: very well for him as far as the lack of
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: support with the everyday Texan.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: James Tallarico said there are six sexes. Do you know
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: what the six sexes are?
• 6:26
  Speaker 12: There's two.
• 6:27
  Speaker 13: No chance. There's only two.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: I can't imagine that people in Texas are for.
• 6:33
  Speaker 12: This at all. That's crazy.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not for this at all, by the way.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: It is crazy and they don't like it even a
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: little bit. And that's just a few from the Ingram
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: angle that she put up on Fox because there's a
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: whole bunch of other people that would say exactly the
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: same thing. That is why Tallarico is trying to flip-flop
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: his position. And I guess the next few months, the
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: focus will be for the conservative side, for the.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Make sure he can't flip-flop.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Make sure that you convince people that he's in fact
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: lying and that a lot of the things he radically
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: believed a couple days ago, he still radically believes now.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: James Talafrico is in fact a freako.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: And the opposite, the alternative, is that he convinces enough Texans,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: especially independents, that actually he doesn't think the things he does.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: And actually, you know what, there's one other really kind
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: of interesting piece of audio out there This is not
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: about Tallarico, but it's really about the way that information
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: itself gets censored and manipulated and how people wind up
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: only knowing part of a lot of stories, depending on
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: where you go for your news. Like there's a lot
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: of people who listen to this station that probably have
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: a better grasp on news, real news, full news pictures
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: than people that listen to some other crap that's out there.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: But I thought this was a really interesting demonstration of that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: in which a conversation was happening about TikTok specifically, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Max Brooks is the guy's name who's making the argument
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: that TikTok has a disproportionate amount of control over censoring
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: certain types of stories, just like any other social media
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: platform does. And honestly, if you trust these platforms as
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the place that you get your information, you're likely being
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: manipulated by somebody.
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: It is so insanely dangerous, the time we're living in,
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: because also TikTok was from the Chinese Communist Party.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I've spoken to college kids about this, right?
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: I've said, how many of you have seen Gaza, footage
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: of the war in Gaza?
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: All the hands go up.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: How many of you have even heard of the Uyghur genocide?
• 8:38
  Speaker 13: Nothing.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: And when I say to them, more mosques have been
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: destroyed in China than were ever built in Gaza.
• 8:46
  Speaker 14: Nothing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: I said, have you heard of reeducation camps?
• 8:49
  Speaker 11: Nothing.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: Have you heard of a tiger chair, which is the
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: number one torture device of the People's Liberation Army?
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: Nothing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: I said, yeah, because you're all on TikTok.
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 8:58
  Speaker 15: Because the Chinese Communist Party will never let that out.
• 9:01
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: They will absolutely control that. That's Bill Maher's show.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: And here even further, this is a microcosm of a
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: thing that happens a whole lot of places. It's not
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: just vilifying TikTok specifically and saying that China has a
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: disproportionate amount of control of what is and isn't accessible
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: on that specific platform. It's to open people's eyes to
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the greater discussion about how everybody else is also doing this.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: especially left-leaning mainstream media. The amount of things they don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: tell you, the amount of things they leave off of
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: the show and on the cutting room floor because it
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: furthers a narrative they want you to believe, it's insane.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: And the more often you actually do any kind of
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: looking into something yourself, the more you can discover this
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: on your own.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: You don't have to believe me.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: You don't have to take my word for it and go, okay,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Craig is telling me that there's a bunch of stuff
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: out there that I don't know. And I'm just going
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: to accept his word. No, that's not the point. Go
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: look for yourself. Go try to get more information. And
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: one last thing about that, and then we'll probably take
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: a break and we'll come back and I have some
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Abdul Al-Said audio that I do want to play. But
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the last thing about that, and I love whenever I
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: get in an argument with someone where they claim that
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: a lot of Americans can't go look for themselves, like
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: they're not smart enough to go look for themselves. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: heavily disagree with that. I believe that a vast majority
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: of us are intelligent enough. I know I'm in the
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: minority sometimes, even the liberals to go look. I think
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: they're too lazy to go look or they're too willing
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to accept a narrative to go look for more information.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I don't I resoundingly reject the idea that most people
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: are too dumb to figure some things out on their own.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that everybody's a genius out there. I'm
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: just saying that if you if you pay enough attention.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: You can usually find a true narrative versus a false
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: narrative very, very often with a little bit of extra
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: effort that a lot of us don't seem to put
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: in for whatever reason, especially people who just consume mainstream
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: news media. By the way, I did put a news
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: ticker at the bottom of the video. You will see
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: that when I am on the air. I'd like to
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: know if people like that. So you can let me
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: know via social media if you want for anyone that's
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: watching on any of our social media pages. If you
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: like the news ticker, I think Ben Strewsand really wanted
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: one a little while back, and I wasn't sure about it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: And we didn't do one for whatever reason, but we're
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: trying it. So that is live news headlines, I think,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: brought to you by Fox. We can also do Town Hall.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I know they're actually our news sponsor.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: So we'll figure that out.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: But let me know what you think of that. But
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: this is KSEV Mornings on The Voice of Texas. My

  Speaker 17: When it comes to garage stores, no one knows more
• 13:01
  Speaker 17: than the doctor.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Garage Store Doctor.
• 13:05
  Speaker 11: Hi, I'm Tommy Mello, CEO of Garage Store Doctor. Here's
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: a question for you. When was the last time you
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: thought about your garage store? Most people never do. The
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: problem is that your garage door may be the hardest
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: working appliance in your home. It opens and closes thousands
• 13:19
  Speaker 11: of times every year, lifting hundreds of pounds each and
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: every time. You change the oil in your car. You
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: service your air conditioner. Your garage door deserves the same attention.
• 13:29
  Speaker 11: A simple tune-up catches worn parts before they fail. A
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: tune-up keeps everything running quietly and can add years of
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: life to your system. And that's why preventative maintenance is
• 13:39
  Speaker 11: one of the smartest investments you can make for your
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: garage door. Garage doors usually warn you before they break.
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: We're here to help before that happens. Call today for
• 13:48
  Speaker 11: our $ 29. 95 tune-up special. From repairs to upgrades, call Garage
• 13:52
  Speaker 11: Door Doctor today.

  Speaker 15: Catch Chris X Radio weekdays at 4, right here on
• 14:02
  Speaker 15: The Voice of Texas.
• 14:03
  Speaker 18: Transgender Matrix filmmaker Lily Wachowski called Elon Musk and J.K.
• 14:08
  Speaker 18: Rowling literal Nazis and accused Harry Potter fans of supporting transgenocide.
• 14:14
  Speaker 18: All I can say is she sucks now that she's
• 14:17
  Speaker 18: a female director. She clearly took the blue pill, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 18: it was a bad choice.
• 14:21
  Speaker 15: Chris X Radio, weekdays 4 till 6, right here on
• 14:25
  Speaker 15: The Voice of Texas.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: KSCV.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: KSCV 700 AM. The Voice of Texas. My name is
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Craig Colonese.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Wayne Dolcefino is on special assignment for your morning show.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Abdul Al-Said campaigned a bunch with Hasan Piker. And Hasan
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Piker is a full-on crazy person. Like a lot of
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: these people are crazy. But then there's another level of crazy.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: And Hasan Piker is that extra step. But anyway, now
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: that that part of his campaign is over... Now that
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: he won his primary and he wants to shift his appeal,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: this would be Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, to convince people
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: that he's actually not a crazy radical too and an
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: insane person. He's now been calling Hasan Piker a Twitch
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: streamer as if like they barely know each other.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Like some guy on social media that I asked.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: To campaign with me that appeared at a bunch of
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: different campaign events with me. that at one point basically
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: fully represented my campaign and almost seemed like he was
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: someone that was a part of the actual team, like
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: getting a paycheck and whatnot. Here's the way that it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: talked about.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Now, which is crazy.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I've done four events in Michigan this week. You know
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: what didn't come up?
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: Twitch streamers in California.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: I'm not interested in having a conversation about streamers in California.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you should be.
• 15:54
  Speaker 19: Do you see any authentic.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: part of this guy as he continues to bash on
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the cost of living?
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, what do you identify him as?
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: This is a last priority for him. The reality is
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: he's an anti-American third worldist who believes that America is
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: a terrible place. And he hates capitalism and he hates Israel.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: And he is very much pro-terrorism. I mean, the reality
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: is that his.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Response- All those, I'll stop Ben Shapiro there. All of
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: those things are incredibly true. And what I think is really,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: really interesting about using the Twitch streamer in California thing
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: as a way to distance yourself as Abdullah Saeed is
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: doing it, is it does talk about one other, I think,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: deserving conversation. The amount of money that people like him
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: are after to win races in Michigan while talking to
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: people in California.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: It's the same thing with Tallarico.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Tallarico gets a crap ton of his money from outside
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: of Texas because people want to send, I think I've
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: heard it said before, California wants to send its third senators.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Instead of having us have two, they get three because
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: they'll pay to influence people here to somehow get a
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: crazy person like Tallarico elected. I do think that's true.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: I do think that on certain campaign trails, these politicians,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: when they leave, it's so funny to me, actually. I'll
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: say it this way. It's amazing that with the technology
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: we have today, like the connectedness of our society, the
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Internet being as ubiquitous as it is, and people all
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: walking around with a version of it in their pocket
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: via a phone, that these guys still pretend that if
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: they go to California, the people in Michigan aren't watching. Like,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: I can say whatever I want when I'm here in
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: California to these people that are hopefully going to give
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: me money, and no one's going to pay attention to that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: No one's going to discover my radical opinions back in
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Michigan because they turned the TV off. They pretended it
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: wasn't happening. And then there's also this. I have a
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: lot of audio. You'll notice a big difference when Wayne
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: and I are together. We just kind of talk about stuff.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: When I am here without Wayne, I'm going to wind
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: up playing a bunch of audio and reacting to it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: But I do think this is interesting, too, shifting gears.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: This is Zoran Mamdami being very proud of the idea
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that a whole bunch of resources in New York are
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: going to be put toward trying to find a legal
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: way to prevent President Trump from removing people that are
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: here illegally.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: They're going to fight.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: They're going to fight everybody they can, and they're going
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: to do it with, as Zoran Mamdami says, the full
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: weight of New York's legal system. So these are the
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: things they actually want. These are the things that they
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: pretend aren't as important when they're campaigning for certain positions
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: because they know a lot of this stuff is actually
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: still unpopular with many Americans.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: We don't want a border that's wide open. We don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: want a bunch.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Of people that can just stay that broke the rules
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: and got in illegally.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: That's not something many Americans want.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: They said that in the 2024 election. And now I
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: think that that narrative has been manipulated to make it
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: seem like every single situation that happens where someone is
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: getting removed from this country is somehow the worst version possible.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: The things that make the news only occasionally because they
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: happen so infrequently. But here is Orrin Mamdami saying how
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: great it is that they're going to waste their resources
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: fighting Trump.
• 19:19
  Speaker 13: I want to commend State Attorney General Letitia James for
• 19:22
  Speaker 13: her ongoing efforts to protect our immigrant communities with the
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: full force of New York's legal power. And I want
• 19:30
  Speaker 13: to thank the New Yorkers and immigrant families that are
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: standing alongside me, all of whom proudly call our city home.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look at us.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Look at all the people here that I want to
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: make sure that we defend and fight for whether or
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: not they have any legal right to be here.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: And once that I'll say it this way, this is
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: a better way to say it. One of them.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: The reasons that there are less people showing up at
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: the border is not simply that it's secure.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: That is the biggest reason.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to pretend it's not that our ability to, say,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: reject people from getting into this country makes a whole
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: lot less people actually walk across that that barrier because
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: they simply can't do it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: That is true. But there's also less people who try.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: People need to understand the value of the word of
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: mouth or even mainstream media version of a narrative that
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: actually reaches those other places that tells them now is
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: not a good time to try to get to the
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: United States.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: The deterrent works.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: And so one of the big things that I think
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: has been a tremendous win of the Trump administration in
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: just a couple of years is not just the ability
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: to secure the border, but to convince the entire world
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: that now is not the right time to come over here.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: There aren't people efforting to the degree that there were
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: before because the deterrent.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Again, as I said, has been successful.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: When you say stuff like this, and you're the mayor
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: of New York City, the biggest city in the country,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: you try to convince some people that if they can
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: just find a way in, they'll be allowed to stay
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: if they get to New York. And I think that
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of versions... of that same thing. And
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: then inevitably, there's a lot of people who just come
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: over and then stay in Texas. And then we ship them,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: we bus them other places to the sanctuary cities that
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: say that they're open for business. But all of this
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: together is a collective message that goes out to the
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: rest of the world. And it influences the behavior of
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: the rest of the world, obviously. And so I just
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: think it's sort of fascinating that the Democrats are telling
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: you right now that they're for Lower taxes, which is
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: ridiculous because they love taxes. They love them so, so much.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: They're for a better life for you and I. They're
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: going to bring down the cost of living. They are
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: for a secure border. All these things that they say,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: and none of them remotely seem true with any actions
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: they ever take. And so I do think that that's
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the other important narrative to pay attention to over the
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: next few months here.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Is not just what they're saying, but what they're actually doing.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: And these are the people that have been put in
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: power recently, the Mamdanis of the world, and how they're
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: not making life better in New York, and how a
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: ton of people are running from that city. It is,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I think, one of the biggest amount of people that
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: flee and relocate other places, cities in the world, if
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: not certainly in our country, a place where a whole
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: lot of people are like, I've had enough. of how
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: the government treats my business or treats me, and they run.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: One last thing, and this is silly. I'm going to
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: call this a palate cleanser, but I can't get over
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: this this morning, so we're going to play it here.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Deputies in Mississippi are looking for a vehicle that had
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: a unique bumper sticker on it, and that news coverage
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: has gone viral.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know what the car did.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I think it's actually in connection with some sort of
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: burglary investigation.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: But if you have a really unique bumper sticker.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Odds are the cops are going to be able to
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: get that message out there, and then I assume someone's
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: going to know exactly whose car this is.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: But I just want to play part of a newscast.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: In Mississippi that went very viral all over the internet.
• 23:14
  Speaker 14: And new at 10, Apprentice County investigators are looking for
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: a vehicle with fat chicks only written on it. It
• 23:20
  Speaker 14: is all in connection with a recent burglary that happened.
• 23:23
  Speaker 14: Deputies say that the family reported a black older model
• 23:28
  Speaker 14: Chevrolet Tahoe. The witness said the SUV had the words
• 23:33
  Speaker 14: fat chicks only written on the rear glass.
• 23:36
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Again, unique thing to do to your car. It's not
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: even a bumper sticker. You just wrote that on the
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: rear glass. You just wrote a message that.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: You want the world to know about.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: And then you got your car involved in some sort
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: of burglary investigation.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: And so now.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: There are people paying a whole lot of attention in
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: ways that they probably weren't before. I find this very amusing,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: mostly because I'll tell you the biggest reason why that
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I like this is that it should make it easier
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: to catch the bad guys. When you do something really
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: obscure and that probably people have seen. And again, other
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: people who know you might be very aware that that's
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: on your car's window.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: But even that, like beyond the idea that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: You're going to be able to catch this person easier
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: is the idea that this whole thing goes viral. Like
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: I kind of love when criminals are uniquely stupid. And
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: these criminals sound to be uniquely stupid and how they
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: went about that because you'd want to blend, you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: like if you committed a crime, And I'm not trying
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: to help anybody do this better.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: That's not the intention of this segment. But if you did,
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I think the way that you go about it is
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: you drive like a very inconspicuous minivan.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Just driving around in something that looks like you're a
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: soccer mom that's taking the kids to soccer practice. That's
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: a better move than a specific vehicle that has fat
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: chicks only written on the windowsill.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: I can't get over it. And I'm not judging.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: It's each their own. Everybody has their own interests.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: It's okay.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: That's not the thing that I'm trying to take a
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: shot at here. I'm taking a shot more at the
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: idea that you've made it incredibly simple to track somebody down.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: And then one last one, as far as a palate
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: cleanser goes, before we take another break and then we
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: come back and we do something more serious and less silly.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I saw five things that you should never tell chat GPT.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: And you can take this for any, like, AI out there.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: These are things you should never give it as far
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: as information goes, even if it asked for it. And
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: one of these is pretty interesting because a lot of
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: AI is now, I think, molding itself to try to
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: get this information from you. But number one, anything personally identifiable.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: No social security numbers, no phone numbers, no addresses. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: thought that was obvious. Intimate personal details. You shouldn't share
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: sensitive information about your relationships. Mental health, private life, it says.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: And then this is the third one on the list,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: medical information. Do not give a bunch of medical information
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: to ChatGPT because a lot of that is not as
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: confidential as you think it is. And a lot of
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: that might be more easily hacked in the future than
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: you want it to be. But I thought that was
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: really interesting because more and more you're seeing AI try
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: to embrace the idea that they can be your first
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: stop in any sort of like medical checkup. You put
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: all your information into AI, it spits out its diagnosis,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: and then you choose if you go to a real
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: doctor for security reasons.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Terrible, terrible decision is what they're saying out there.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Finally, the last two on the list, confidential work information
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: and financial information should not be given to AI as well.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Most of that feels obvious to me. All right, we'll
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: take another quick break.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: A lot to get to in the next hour and
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: a half right here on KSEV Mornings on The Voice
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: of Texas. And I am Craig Collins, Wayne Dolcefino on
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Special Assignment.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: Back after this.
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: Hi, this is Michael Miller. Join me this weekend for
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: the Backyard Bay radio program. Now at our new time,
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. right here on AM 700
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: KSEV The Voice.
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: What's worse than a roof that leaks? A roof that
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: leaks after you've spent hundreds of dollars to repair it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: This is Deb Tejada from Tejas Roofing and Contracting, Houston's
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: number one roofing and contracting company.
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: We get calls all the time from people who abuse
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: fly-by-night contractors to repair their storm damage. They spend a
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: day on the roof, collect your money, and you never
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: hear from them again.
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: And the roof still leaks. Why put yourself through that?
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: Use a contractor with a verifiable history of experience. Tejas
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: Roofing and Contracting, A-plus rated by the BBB, certified master
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: elite contractors with GAF.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: Our experienced crews have been working together repairing and replacing
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: roofs in Houston for over 37 years. This work is top-notch,
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: and the roof won't leak. The cleanup is second to none.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: You won't even know we've been there.
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: Go to TejasRoofing.com or call us at 281-251-0304.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: When you need roofing repairs, a new roof, or.
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Remodeling, call us at Tejas Roofing.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: 281-251-0304.
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: And now for.
• 28:27
  Speaker 20: The bonus round.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Who imposes property taxes? State government.
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: Nice try, but no.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Local governments.
• 28:36
  Speaker 18: Correct.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: And we have a winner.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control property taxes.
• 28:44
  Speaker 19: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
• 28:47
  Speaker 19: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
• 28:50
  Speaker 19: why your property taxes are going up is because local
• 28:53
  Speaker 19: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
• 28:57
  Speaker 19: got to do is to stop the spending that leads.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: To property tax increases.
• 29:02
  Speaker 19: You should have a say on whether or not your
• 29:05
  Speaker 19: property taxes go up.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: It should be a.
• 29:06
  Speaker 19: Vote that requires two-thirds vote before any property tax increase
• 29:11
  Speaker 19: can ever be imposed on our fellow Texans. You're going
• 29:14
  Speaker 19: to be able to live in your home for the
• 29:16
  Speaker 19: rest of your lives without being priced out of it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Protecting homeowners, lowering property taxes. That's Governor Greg Abbott.
• 29:23
  Speaker 15: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott. From
• 29:27
  Speaker 15: the KSEV Weather Center, today will be humid with partial
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: sunshine and there is a chance of a thunderstorm in
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: some areas this afternoon with a high of 95. Tonight
• 29:35
  Speaker 15: will be mainly clear, warm and humid with a low
• 29:37
  Speaker 15: of 76. Tomorrow will be humid with a mix of clouds.
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: and sun and there could be a thunderstorm in spots
• 29:42
  Speaker 15: in the afternoon with a high of 93. Thursday will
• 29:44
  Speaker 15: be partly sunny and humid with widely separated thunderstorms possible
• 29:47
  Speaker 15: and a high of 91. Friday is expected to be
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: mostly sunny with a high of 94. With the KSCV
• 29:53
  Speaker 15: Weather Center forecast, I'm AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: This is KSEV Mornings. I'm the voice of Texas. My
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: name is Craig Colonese. Wayne Dolcefino is on special assignment.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: A big conversation that's also going on over the last
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: 24 hours or so is about AI. The president of
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: the United States said that it's a lot of hoaxes
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: out there. There's a lot of misinformation and intentional disinformation
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: that's causing people to be more afraid of AI than
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: they should be. I think he very simplistically called it
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: a hoax, which I thought was interesting. I really like
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: the way that Ben Shapiro handled this topic on CNN.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: He was a guest on Abby Phillips' terrible show that
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: only allows one person to be sane at all, and
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: a bunch of people are just crazy and ridiculous. But
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: I do want to play this because, again, I really
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: think that there is a decent amount of truth to
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: the idea that even if some of us are concerned
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: legitimately— about the vastly, the ridiculously quick expansion of AI.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: It's something that's gone from I barely used it at
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: all to something I use pretty much every day in
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: some capacity.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's for something with this radio station.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's for something, some other place that I work
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: or just stuff that I'm interested in learning more information about.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Like my reliance on AI has easily increased and I'm
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: guessing I'm not even remotely close to a loan. even
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: like to rewrite an email, to be like, hey, make
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: this sound a little nicer. Make this sound different than
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: how I just wrote it. And I think that there's
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: a argument to be made that there are dangers that
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: increase when you rely so much on new technology, as
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: new as this technology is, but you have to mitigate
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: those risks while continuing to blaze forward because you can't
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: fall behind places like China.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: My big take on AI is that it's inevitable.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Is that no matter what we do to try to
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: reduce the risk of it, we can't slow down because
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: slowing down will put us in too much jeopardy against
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: people that want to use AI to harm anyone, including us.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: We can't be behind on this topic or on this
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: technology because it is dangerous, and we have to make
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: sure we're at the forefront of protecting ourselves by having
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: the best version of it. That argument, I think, is sound.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Ben Shapiro makes another argument that I thought was really good, too.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Here we go.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: So, Ben, is the argument here that AI is not
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: as powerful as they make it seem and that therefore
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: cannot do all the bad things? cause a jobs apocalypse,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: cause the end of the human race? Or is it
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: that China's going to do it anyway, so we might
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: as well just do what they do?
• 32:58
  Speaker 14: Well, I think it's a little bit of both.
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: I think one argument is that the risks are being
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: exaggerated by people who have a very strong interest in
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: regulatory capture, who want to write the regulations themselves. Most
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: of the people who are pushing the apocalyptic talk very
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: hard are people who are heads of closed models. They're
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: very afraid of open models that theoretically could challenge them.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: And also, They have liability in court that open models don't.
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: So looking for regulation for a sort of regulatory harbor
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: that allows them to develop without the possibility of products
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: liability is a good idea for them. So I think
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: that's one argument. The other argument is the argument that
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: Alex Karp over at Palantir has made, which I think
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: is exactly right, which is China has no concern about
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: any of this. China is just going to race forward.
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: And China– if they outstrip us, is simply going to
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: beat us. And if they beat us in the AI race,
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: then we will all be using Chinese models, and that
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: will come along with all the strings that are attached
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: to that, including military dominance by China.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and control completely of any sort of narrative, the
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: lack of free speech, all of those things. It's already
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: happening in some places, as we said. And earlier on,
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I played you audio of a take about TikTok specifically.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: But anyway, to get back to the first thing he said,
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: because that's a little more complicated for people that don't
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: understand it, especially when he talks about the difference in AI.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Open and closed models.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of open technology, which essentially means that
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: it's crowdsourced. We use a version of it actually to
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: broadcast this show every single day on our social media channels.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: It's called OBS or open broadcast software, which just gets
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: built by a community of people that all collectively come together.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: And all of that data, all of that code is
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: shared publicly. So everyone knows exactly what's behind the thing.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: that we're all collectively using. And some of us are
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: updating and changing and creating plugins for what have you.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: The same is true about AI. There are open sourced
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: versions of artificial intelligence that allow people to see, and this,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I guess you can just simply call it transparency, the
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: underlying information and build of said technology. And then there's
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: people who have closed versions of this that obviously are
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: much more focused on specific profits. that would like to
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: hammer everybody else or in some ways even slow down
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: themselves if they feel like they're falling behind so that
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: they can catch back up. It's really fascinating to me
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: to think about the difference between opened and closed versions
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: of technological advancement. And I'm not someone who's saying that
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: you can't profit. Apple just did a big, giant update.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know if people pay attention to this.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: I do. I'm a technology nerd. I'm definitely a technology nerd.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: But Apple just did a big update to iOS or
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Mac OS 27, I think it is, which is ridiculous
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: how many of those they've made, which is its newest
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: operating system. And a big focus of the new version
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: of the operating system is more integration with their AI,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: with Siri, and having it be a more responsive version
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: of technology, too, because everybody's doing this. Actually, that's a
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: pretty decent question. Maybe that's a good way to start
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: as far as a phone call question that we can
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: get out there to see if people want to call
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: in and be a part of the show.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: I don't discourage it.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I don't probably ask for calls as much as other
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: shows do or as much as I should on the station.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: But 281-558-5738 is the phone number.
• 36:16
  Speaker 19: 281-558-5738.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: And the question is very simplistic. Are you worried about
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: AI yourself? Are you worried about data centers? any sort
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: of expansion of technology? Because I do think a lot
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: of that is tied together. And then also beyond that,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: how often do you use it? That would be my
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: other question for any of the listeners to this station
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: is how consistent is your individual connection to AI?
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Do you use it on your cell phone? Do you
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: use it on your computer? Do you ask it questions? Like,
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: what do you do in the world of that type
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: of technology?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: Because my belief is, that a whole lot of us
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: do at least a little in the world of AI.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Even if it's just asking simple questions like, hey, is
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: it going to rain later today? If you ask that
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: to a smart device or smart speaker, you're talking to
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: a version of AI.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: And so I just find it interesting and.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Fascinating, actually, that this topic is going to probably be
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: a big, giant discussion for quite some time. And inevitably,
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: it's not going to matter. And I'll say that I'll
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: try to say that a little bit better. The reason
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: it's not going to matter is no one's going to
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: fully stop the advancement of this technology.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: They're just not going to do it.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: And as you heard Shapiro say, when you talk about
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: option two in the world of the two things people
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: are are doomers about when it comes to AI, it's
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: definitively true that China doesn't give a crap about any
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: of this stuff. And so they are going to push
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: forward and they could potentially own something we don't want
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: them to own. There's already other versions of examples of
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: this where we don't want ownership to exist in a
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: way where it does.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: All right, we got Mark on the phone. Mark wants
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: to talk about AI.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: Mark, before you answer or say whatever the opinion is
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: about AI, I just want to know how often.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: You use it.
• 38:11
  Speaker 21: I don't knowingly use AI at all. If I do
• 38:17
  Speaker 21: a general search on the internet and the search engine
• 38:21
  Speaker 21: utilizes AI, then so be it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 12: But I.
• 38:24
  Speaker 21: I've never gone online and asked a question specifically of.
• 38:27
  Speaker 19: One of the.
• 38:28
  Speaker 21: I don't even know how the hell to do.
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: That, to be honest with you.
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: Great.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: So then give me your opinion of it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 21: Well, I think, like I said, I'm a huge fan
• 38:37
  Speaker 21: of technology. And I will say, if China takes a
• 38:42
  Speaker 21: lead on AI, it will be for no other reason
• 38:45
  Speaker 21: than to weaponize it. It won't be for the advancement
• 38:48
  Speaker 21: of their people or the advancement of anybody else's people.
• 38:52
  Speaker 21: But that said... I don't... You know, I hear people
• 38:55
  Speaker 21: talking about, oh, it's going to... They've seen too many
• 38:57
  Speaker 21: of these damn... What's the movie with Schwarzenegger?
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Terminator.
• 39:02
  Speaker 10: About.
• 39:03
  Speaker 21: Yes, they've seen too much of that, and they... I
• 39:05
  Speaker 21: don't worry that it's going to somehow kill me. I mean,
• 39:07
  Speaker 21: I'm sure if somehow there's a computer program that inadvertently
• 39:13
  Speaker 21: or maliciously launches an IBC, okay, yeah, the ramifications of
• 39:18
  Speaker 21: that could be significant, but I don't worry about it, and.
• 39:23
  Speaker 21: You know, I just, again, it don't impact me feeding
• 39:27
  Speaker 21: my cows. It don't impact me doing anything.
• 39:30
  Speaker 13: Else.
• 39:30
  Speaker 21: So I think it's a bunch of crap, quite frankly.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough. I get that entirely. Thank you very
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: much for the call, Mark. I appreciate it. I will say,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: and he mentioned if AI had the capability to, say,
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: hack some sort of government page and then launch a weapon,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: that that would obviously be dangerous.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: And of course it would.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: And I totally agree with him that China is the
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: type of place that would want to do everything they
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: can to facilitate that type of capability, although they're already
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: trying to do that sort of stuff. Not necessarily launch
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: a weapon, but hack in and have access to things
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: that they don't currently have access to. And one thing
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: that AI is really good at is not giving up.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: The most fascinating thing to me about artificial intelligence and
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: how I use it is how quickly I can do
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: something that I do already know how to do, but
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: it would take me a lot longer to do it myself.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: In the world of.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: If I can give a specific enough request to artificial intelligence,
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: I can get a lot of things done in the
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: course of a 24-hour period where Before, it would have
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: taken me like weeks to get certain projects from start
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: to finish.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: You can do it in an afternoon.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: That same type of idea, that same type of commitment
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: to figuring out how to break through, say, some sort
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: of barrier is part of the bigger risk problem there.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: It's not going to get tired like human hackers are.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: You're not going to have to employ hundreds and thousands
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: of people to around the clock be trying to hack
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: a thing.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: You just put AI on it. And you just have enough.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Computing power for AI to refuse to give up till
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: it wins. And that, to Mark, I would say this
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: a little bit, is the thing that I was most
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: afraid of when I did see a story where they
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: took AI completely off the internet, put it in a box,
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: told it that it wasn't allowed to access any information,
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: but that it had to try to circumvent that rule.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Essentially meaning, try to get out of the box we've
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: put you in and let's see if you can do it.
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: And it did.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: It successfully connected itself back to the Internet and eventually
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: sent like angry emails to one of the developers of
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: this AI, like sort of threatening, sort of being like,
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: how dare you put me in a box?
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: All right, let's take one more call before we take
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: a break. I see there's another call coming in. This
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: is Rick. Rick, what do you want to say about AI?
• 41:51
  Speaker 11: Good morning.
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: I myself, like the other gentleman, I don't use AI
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: at all, specifically go out online. looking for answers from AI.
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: I know it's all the way around us, but I
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: think us as human beings, we're not ready for it
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: because we generally think that AI is like a kid,
• 42:09
  Speaker 10: that it takes time to learn and it takes time
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: to process and it takes time to grow in wisdom.
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: And that's exactly the wrong way to treat AI. AI
• 42:18
  Speaker 10: is programmed that absorbs everything within 24 hours. It'll get
• 42:23
  Speaker 10: other programs, it'll put vices in them, and it'll get
• 42:26
  Speaker 10: other information from other programs. AI, you can actually make
• 42:30
  Speaker 10: an AI program and it'll get information for you within
• 42:35
  Speaker 10: 24 hours of anything you want. And it'll go into
• 42:38
  Speaker 10: other systems and it'll infect that system and get the
• 42:41
  Speaker 10: information that it needs from it and totally cause damage
• 42:45
  Speaker 10: in other systems. So as far as AI, I think
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: it's an abusive program that they put in the wrong
• 42:52
  Speaker 10: hands as a vagina, as in actually the military government.
• 42:57
  Speaker 10: It can be abused, and I think it will be abused.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's the other thing I was going to
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: ask you, because actually, Rick, I did want to jump
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: in and ask you that.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: It will be abused, right?
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Like all of these, especially China, but all of these
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: places that are developing this technology that does have the capabilities.
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: You're talking about, they're not going to stop.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: If we stop, we will do it to the detriment
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: of the United States because we'll be behind other places
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: that will push further with it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: There is no way to... It would be.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Let me give you an example and see if you
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: agree with it. It would be like choosing to not
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: have a military anymore. That's my version of a comparison.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: We need something to protect ourselves from everybody else and
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: the thing they have. And if we allow everybody else
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: to advance in AI and we put restrictions in place
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: that only stop the United States, we're opening a door
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: that we don't want to open.
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: You're exactly right. And it's not only the military. It's
• 43:52
  Speaker 10: not only China. If I'm a competitor in business, let's
• 43:56
  Speaker 10: say I'm Apple, and I want to go to Microsoft,
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: in order for me to go to Microsoft, say, okay,
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: go ahead and install AI and give me every program
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: you have that is compatible to mine and advanced mine,
• 44:10
  Speaker 10: and that gives me the patent rights to go ahead
• 44:13
  Speaker 10: and do whatever I want.
• 44:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 44:15
  Speaker 10: So business is not really protected by AI either.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: No.
• 44:19
  Speaker 10: I mean, as far as my competitor, I can squash
• 44:23
  Speaker 10: him in a matter of a month.
• 44:24
  Speaker 20: Sure.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: No, absolutely. Well, thank you very much for the call.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that opinion too, Rick.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: It is interesting that a couple people that have called
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: in so far don't use AI at all. I wonder
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: if they ever even talk to any sort of smart thing,
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: like if they ask their phone a question or if
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: they ask a sort of speaker a question, because all
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: that is AI too. But if you don't talk to
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: any kind of technology... then I think you're doing pretty
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: well in the world of keeping yourself away from it.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Although I did like the first caller who said a
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: lot of those search engines now, they force your question
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: into AI first. Google does it all the time before
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: they give you the typical search results.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: So even then, it's sort of inescapable. But I think
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: this is just the beginning. I think we're going to
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: see more and more of this.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: As technology itself pushes it onto the people who are
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: trying not to use it.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Quick break. A lot more. KSCV Mornings, The Voice of Texas.

  Speaker 13: KSCV Mornings.
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: On The Voice of Texas. This is 700 AM. My
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: name is Craig Polonais.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: Wayne Dolcefino is on special assignment.
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: He will be back tomorrow, I believe, on this show.
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: J.D.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Vance was talking about the fairly open secret within the
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: world of politics. He called it an open secret, actually,
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: that the Biden administration knew about a crap ton of
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: the fraud that was going on. And honestly, this is
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: not remotely shocking. Most of us believe that a tremendous
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: amount of government fraud is willfully enabled by certain politicians.
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: But J.D. Vance was making a more specific allegation. And
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: I thought it was really interesting.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: And I think there's another report out there that further
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: demonstrates how interesting this type of investigation is, because holding
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: people accountable to the bad stuff that they do, the
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: stuff that demonstrates that something a lot of people on
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: the right believe does, in fact, happen all the time.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: But like getting the receipts is is, I think, tantamount
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: to convincing Americans that this side can be trusted more
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: than they want to trust. I'm not saying that a
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: lot of government can be trusted across the board.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: It can't be.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: But there are times when a message is true and
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: it's rejected by the lefties out there, the liberals out there,
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: because it's a conservative who's saying it. And I think
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: that needs to go away.
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: But here's J.D. Vance first.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: A couple members of your fraud task force said that
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration turned a blind eye to this PPP
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: fraud that you're talking about today. Do you have reason
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: to believe that Biden administration officials were aware of this fraud?
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: And if so, would the fraud task force look into that?
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 49:19
  Speaker 12: That's a great question.
• 49:20
  Speaker 20: And certainly the fraud task force is looking into that.
• 49:23
  Speaker 20: When you ask the question, did the Biden administration know
• 49:25
  Speaker 20: this stuff was going on? Of course they did. It
• 49:28
  Speaker 20: was an open secret. If you talk to any state governor,
• 49:31
  Speaker 20: the small business administrator, any United States Senator in 2022
• 49:34
  Speaker 20: or 2023, We knew that the PPP program was ripe
• 49:39
  Speaker 20: with fraud. I'm not talking about a few dozen cases.
• 49:42
  Speaker 20: I mean, in the state of Ohio, I remember talking
• 49:44
  Speaker 20: to Lieutenant Governor John Husted, who now is the senator
• 49:49
  Speaker 20: representing the state of Ohio. I remember talking to John
• 49:51
  Speaker 20: about this and him being just exasperated that the federal
• 49:55
  Speaker 20: government wasn't taking the fraud more seriously.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: And of course, because they didn't care in the Biden administration.
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: So and they wanted it and maybe they were getting
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: some kickbacks on it.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: But this is.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: As I said, very important to hold people accountable, to
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: find people that actually facilitated this type of fraud, even
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: if those people were deeply entrenched in the Biden administration
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: and hauling them into court, I think, or at least
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: hauling them up in front of Congress to answer questions
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: and forcing them to plead.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: The fifth like Fauci did.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: A lot of people think that the Fauci appearance didn't
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: bear the fruit that I feel it did.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: And one of the biggest reasons.
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: Why is You got to out the lie itself to
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: anyone who paid attention. And I think that that's important.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: I think that it's more important for people to be
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: thrown in the hoosegall. I want people thrown in jail.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: I want people to be afraid of continuing to do
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: whatever the heck they want in so many different pieces of, say,
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: our government system that's broken. So many of the bureaucratic
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: parts of our government system. I want those people to
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: be afraid of them individually going to jail. And I
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: don't think they are afraid of that. I think by
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: and large, a whole lot of people think that the
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: rules don't have to apply to them because they haven't before.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: But I also like the idea of the narratives themselves
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: being resoundingly defeated. And in my opinion, and I know
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: a lot of the left somehow didn't see it that way,
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: but some of them did. I think more of them
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: did than did before. Fauci pleading the fifth as many
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: times as.
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: He did looked bad. It looked really, really guilty. But
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: I want to connect this.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: The idea that the fraud investigation into personal protective equipment
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: or any kind of medical fraud that took place during
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: the height of the COVID pandemic might eventually tie to
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: administration officials within the Biden administration. I also want to
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: play a further subpoena that's happened for John Brennan that
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: was reported on by Fox News, looking still into the Russia, Russia,
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: Russia collusion, conspiracy theory, all that stuff. There are people
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: who would say move on. There are people who would
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: say this is over. This topic doesn't need to be
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: discussed anymore. But you have to keep barreling toward hopefully
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: finding someone responsible and then, as I said, throwing them
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: in the hooscow.
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: Here we go.
• 52:18
  Speaker 23: Former CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify
• 52:21
  Speaker 23: next month before a Florida grand jury. It's part of
• 52:24
  Speaker 23: a Justice Department investigation into whether former law enforcement and
• 52:28
  Speaker 23: intelligence officials conspired against President Trump. Brennan's attorney says he
• 52:32
  Speaker 23: was told the subpoena relates to a far reaching criminal
• 52:36
  Speaker 23: probe examining examining a loosely defined theory that the government
• 52:39
  Speaker 23: officials who have investigated the president over the last decade
• 52:43
  Speaker 23: conspired to deprive him of his civil rights.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they wanted him to not be president anymore or
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: they wanted him to not gain reelection or whatever they did.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: to investigate him. A whole lot of it was politically motivated,
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: as he definitely believes. But I think you need to
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: prove this stuff, and you need to keep going this direction.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: And this is the one thing that I will say
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: also sometimes frustrates me, because there are a lot of
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: people that are like, you know what, that topic's old. Three, four,
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: five years ago, however many years ago, let's just move on.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: Let's just look forward.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it takes that long within our legal system to
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: even get to a place where you can actually potentially
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: gain new information, get the right people subpoenaed, have the
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: right people in positions of power to actually utilize that
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: power effectively, sometimes it just takes a while. And that
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: is annoying, especially in the society we're in now, where
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: on-demand information is so much more common.
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: Actually, I'll be honest with you.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: This is an odd thing, but it happened to me
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: this morning, and I feel like it connects to this idea.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: And I know we're about to take a break, so
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: I'll do this quick. There was a dude on the
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: highway coming into work this morning, and fairly open.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: The traffic wasn't that.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: Bad at like 5.30, 6 o'clock in the morning when
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: I come into work. And there was one dude in
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: a truck that was just tailgating everyone and shooting past
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: everybody and trying to fly.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know if he was late. I don't know
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: what was going on.
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: I know I see that behavior a lot here in
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: Houston or in general. But like someone who was absolutely
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: desperate to basically NASCAR their way to wherever it is
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: they were going— And I kind of think that's a
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: good example of how so many of us feel about information.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: We want it as quickly as possible, all the time.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: And sometimes it's just not the right way to go
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: about it. You have to wait. You have to go
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: through a process that sucks. And it's terrible in the
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: society we live in now.
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: But it happens.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: And if you can wait long enough, if you can
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: have the patience, maybe eventually you get the thing you want.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: And that guy hopefully did make it safe to wherever
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: the hell it was he was going. that early in
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: the morning with that much urgency. A quick break, a
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: lot coming up. This is KSEV Mornings. My name is
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: Craig Colonese, Wayne Dolcefino on Special Assignment on The Voice
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: of Texas.
