  The Mob Guys, Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino, KSEV.
• 0:32
  That's that guy.
• 0:42
  That is us.
• 0:44
  We are the Mob Guys on KSEV Radio.
• 0:48
  When I hear that music, that song, I want some mozzarella.
• 0:52
  I do.
• 0:53
  I want some mozzarella, tomatoes.
• 0:56
  I want some pasta with red sauce.
• 0:57
  Oh, maybe some clams sure little wine sauce. That'd be amazing. I do you make your own meatballs or do you buy them in the store?
• 1:09
  Just curious Brooklyn I make my own meatballs
• 1:12
  Yeah, I make a lot of them in case you gotta go to the mattresses. Okay, of course, right? Yeah
• 1:17
  No, and I'm I mix
• 1:21
  Sausage and beef and veal. Yeah, my meatball. Yeah, that's what we do breadcrumbs garlic
• 1:27
  the egg, the milk.
• 1:29
  Yes. Right. And I and I cooked them in the sauce.
• 1:33
  I know you told me that you did put them in.
• 1:35
  So can I do a cooking show?
• 1:39
  I think you could at least Italian.
• 1:42
  Yeah. You know what?
• 1:42
  We could put out a cookbook.
• 1:44
  The mob guys cookbook.
• 1:45
  That sounds amazing.
• 1:47
  Recipes from the Coglianese and the Dolcefino's
• 1:49
  recipes from the mob guys to our families
• 1:53
  with some mob connections that we don't like to talk.
• 1:56
  You know what's funny about you sit like that used to happen a lot where radio guys would put out other stuff that would also sell
• 2:02
  And we don't do that anymore. There's no cookbook coming out
• 2:05
  I don't think Michael Barry's got a cookbook, but we can make one. Let's do it Michael. What would Michael?
• 2:13
  He looks homeless have you seen him lately a picture of him he does he looks kind of homeless that is true
• 2:19
  Did I ever tell you that Michael, but we should be talking about no he shouldn't be talking about competitors, but anyway
• 2:24
  No, no, but that's okay because I met him for lunch once with somebody else.
• 2:31
  And so I walk in the restaurant and I go to the bathroom and the guys, and a few women
• 2:39
  listening, right?
• 2:40
  We have stalls, right?
• 2:41
  If you haven't actually seen it.
• 2:43
  And I'm the guy that'll talk to someone who's peeing next to me.
• 2:46
  Me too.
• 2:47
  Yeah, I'll talk to him.
• 2:49
  Can we say that word?
• 2:50
  I just did.
• 2:51
  We can't say the word pig.
• 2:52
  Okay.
• 2:52
  So I'm talking to the guy that would go to the bathroom and stuff.
• 2:57
  I'm not sure why I'm telling this story, actually.
• 3:00
  It was such a good story.
• 3:01
  But anyway, so there's a guy next to me, a homeless guy.
• 3:05
  And I'm just, you know, I say hi.
• 3:07
  He was a little scary.
• 3:08
  And I come back out and I sit down with the guy I'm on lunch with.
• 3:12
  And I said, where's Michael?
• 3:14
  And then all of a sudden, the homeless guy comes out of the bathroom.
• 3:19
  It's Michael Berry.
• 3:19
  And I think I was like literally within like nine inches of him going to the bathroom.
• 3:24
  Yeah.
• 3:25
  And I had no idea who he was.
• 3:26
  That's crazy.
• 3:27
  Yeah.
• 3:27
  Now, I also talk to people in the bathroom.
• 3:30
  I don't think that that's, I don't know, but I guess that's weird.
• 3:32
  I guess you're not supposed to do that.
• 3:33
  So I drive to Austin every week.
• 3:36
  Right?
• 3:36
  And I stop at Ruska's.
• 3:39
  Right?
• 3:39
  It's in Elinger.
• 3:40
  Right?
• 3:40
  I like the barbecue there, the barbecue place, there's the Thai place.
• 3:44
  Nice.
• 3:44
  Oh, the Polish, the German, whatever it is, the Ruska people.
• 3:50
  Right. And I always go in the bathroom and I always walk in like sort of humming
• 3:54
  and singing and say, hey, how's everybody doing?
• 3:57
  Right. Some people, it's like elevators.
• 4:00
  I love to talk to people in Elvis. Sure.
• 4:03
  And I'm exactly the opposite of of most people
• 4:07
  who will get in an elevator and like literally.
• 4:11
  Yeah. Do anything to avoid eye contact.
• 4:14
  with people.
• 4:16
  This is why we get along, by the way.
• 4:18
  We both do this stuff, yes.
• 4:20
  I want to hang out with people.
• 4:22
  How you doing?
• 4:22
  How you doing?
• 4:23
  What's happening?
• 4:23
  We got like 30 seconds together.
• 4:26
  Let's fill it up with some air time.
• 4:28
  Let's do a little bit of a bit here.
• 4:30
  And then absolutely.
• 4:31
  And they're not interested.
• 4:32
  Some people are so uncomfortable.
• 4:36
  It's like, dude, I'm not trying to like look at you going to the bathroom.
• 4:42
  I just figured we're like literally.
• 4:43
  Right.
• 4:44
  We're stuck.
• 4:45
  We're stuck from each other.
• 4:46
  Shouldn't we at least acknowledge each other?
• 4:48
  Yes.
• 4:48
  I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is for this.
• 4:51
  I don't think that, I don't think we're following etiquette, but I don't care.
• 4:54
  Because as you said, like we're just humans.
• 4:56
  We're just acting human.
• 4:57
  And it's crazy that so many people, I actually feel like that's happening more and more like
• 5:01
  the checkout at a grocery store now.
• 5:03
  The person who's working there that I choose to go to, because I like to go, they don't
• 5:07
  all want to have a conversation.
• 5:08
  They want to act like the robot, ring it up and then hand you your groceries and leave.
• 5:12
  And they have no interest in your life or no not a high just pretending and by the way
• 5:19
  Because we're both from originally from the Northeast I to this day
• 5:23
  I do not want to take my own stuff out of the shopping cart and put it on that thing
• 5:29
  Whatever that conveyor belt is I know I want someone to do it for me. They should I
• 5:36
  Will I would much rather pick that's why I don't
• 5:39
  unless I'm absolutely forced to and that's what they're trying to do.
• 5:44
  Life is like being forced down a tube of toothpaste. I do not want to self-checkout.
• 5:51
  I don't want to pull the little scanner thing and find where the barcode is.
• 5:56
  I don't want to do that.
• 5:57
  I don't want to do any of it. I want a person there who's got a good sense of humor,
• 6:03
  who likes their life, who doesn't hate themselves, is not a serial killer.
• 6:08
  I want them just to like say hi. How you doing? How's the day? Yeah, pump my gas
• 6:16
  Okay, you touched on the other one cuz that's the other one I was gonna ask you about I've been from New Jersey
• 6:21
  I wish people would still pump our gas and they do it in Mexico cuz you go to Mexico
• 6:26
  Yeah
• 6:27
  You go to Mexico and the guy still does it and like my wife will talk to him for a couple seconds and I'm like
• 6:32
  Why don't we have this anymore in the United?
• 6:33
  Why because we were trying to help the homeless so we decided to like sub out all the window washing
• 6:42
  Gas stations to the homeless guy on the street who comes up to your car and starts doing your windows
• 6:47
  Whether you want him to or not with I don't know what I'm not really sure what he's actually cleaning them with
• 6:55
  I'm not sure yeah, and he does that at the stoplight and if he doesn't finish before the lights
• 7:00
  Changes he still wants to get paid and I don't know what that other
• 7:04
  I do have a piece of audio that I sent to Jack that we are gonna play we didn't play a lot of, Talarico
• 7:10
  Yesterday, and I think both of us agree that he wasn't challenged enough. He did sound pretty good
• 7:15
  But I think that anything we'd play we'd probably object to
• 7:19
  Where the follow-up question wasn't but this is good. I want to be the senator for all
• 7:28
  31 million
• 7:28
  and even the ones that believe the Bible is not silent about abortion.
• 7:36
  Right. Yeah. He wants to apparently. Yeah. I wish he had been challenged more, but he did. He did have a successful CNN town hall, which again, not all that surprising, but this look he looked relaxed. Sure. He did. He did. He did look like he was comfortable in whatever format they wanted. And that unfortunately is part of our politics today. Yeah. Part of our politics.
• 7:58
  is still whether or not you like someone.
• 8:01
  And I don't like, I understand why Trump did what he did
• 8:05
  with Paxton, making fun of it the way he looks
• 8:07
  and stuff like that.
• 8:08
  But I don't like being in the last 18 days of a campaign
• 8:12
  with the message being, we know you don't like the guy,
• 8:16
  but vote for him anyway.
• 8:18
  That's just not a place you want to be.
• 8:21
  No.
• 8:21
  Anyone who says, that's really a great message.
• 8:25
  Right, yeah.
• 8:26
  Yeah, but they, like you said, they could make him more likeable by leaning into some
• 8:30
  of the things that he might not do as well as Talarico does.
• 8:34
  If you expect that and create an opportunity to lean into it, you can be endearing.
• 8:38
  You don't have to be someone that people still think is bad.
• 8:42
  My son worked for him for three years, okay?
• 8:44
  But not closely.
• 8:45
  He worked as one of a bunch of assistant attorney generals, right?
• 8:49
  He didn't like talk to Paxton, they didn't hang out together or anything like that.
• 8:52
  But, but when I saw him last night, we were talking about those because we talk about
• 8:56
  politics a lot.
• 8:58
  And he said, he's like the best attorney general ever had in this state to argue for
• 9:04
  our principles.
• 9:04
  Yes.
• 9:05
  And that's not their campaign.
• 9:08
  The guy's a doer.
• 9:09
  Do you want someone who talks real fancy?
• 9:12
  You want someone who wears $1,000 suits?
• 9:16
  Or do you want a guy who's in a roll up his sleeves and get the crap done?
• 9:21
  Right.
• 9:21
  That's what I want.
• 9:22
  You want the doer.
• 9:23
  The mob guy's always...
• 9:24
  I want the doer.
• 9:24
  We always want the doer.
• 9:25
  We always want that.
• 9:26
  Let's jack if we want.
• 9:27
  Let's play that clip of the debate with Talarico and the woman who was objecting to something
• 9:33
  crazy that Talarico said.
• 9:35
  And so I can respect anyone like you who is consistently pro-life.
• 9:40
  And I actually think there's common ground we can find here.
• 9:44
  moral and ethical conclusions when it comes to the question of should abortion be legal or not?
• 9:51
  It sounds like you and I do come to a different conclusion that's okay
• 9:54
  we're both Christians and and the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion it
• 9:59
  means you and I both have to look at at different scriptures to try to come to a conclusion
• 10:04
  And I just want to add that the Bible is not silent on abortion
• 10:07
  There is the Ten Commandments that should not kill and as Catholics we take great
• 10:13
  Yeah
• 10:13
  And so I can stop it stop it now, it's just gonna keep playing so that that is the I go it
• 10:21
  I forgot about the thou shall not kill
• 10:25
  Pretty popular pretty pretty popular in the Bible
• 10:28
  I feel like the Ten Commandments easy one for people who even just grazed over it to kind of get but
• 10:32
  Yeah, that was probably one of the only moments he was challenged. Go ahead Wayne. And did you hear the way he described
• 10:38
  I think he said he was pro-choice
• 10:41
  Right. Yeah, that what he was saying. Yes, right
• 10:45
  He didn't want to say that, right? I believe in a woman's right to treat him. Democratic line.
• 10:50
  He did the we could come to different conclusions about the ethical more. That was the kind of
• 10:56
  Pablum answers he gave all night. Yeah. Yeah. And because he was in a format that was not was
• 11:06
  very friendly and was not going to be challenged very much because the people there at CNN believe
• 11:15
  they want him to win.
• 11:18
  It is what it is.
• 11:21
  But he wasn't challenged.
• 11:23
  But the more I thought about it,
• 11:25
  and I was telling you this,
• 11:26
  the more I thought about him
• 11:28
  and how good I thought that he might have performed,
• 11:34
  when you start really getting into the answers,
• 11:38
  it's like a joke.
• 11:40
  Yeah, and I know.
• 11:41
  And that's what you get
• 11:42
  But when you give yourself an opportunity to be on a platform like that without the
• 11:47
  opponent across from you as the person most likely to hold your lies accountable, to most
• 11:53
  likely challenge them, that's the challenge.
• 11:55
  And so right now, my biggest fear, if you want to call it that, is that if any of these
• 12:00
  other televised conversations can move the needle, I don't know if they can.
• 12:06
  We're in October already.
• 12:07
  At this point, a lot of people believe most of what you're going to vote for is set in
• 12:11
  Stone, but if Talarico pops up on another town hall because Paxton refuses to be on
• 12:16
  a television with him, it only benefits Talarico.
• 12:19
  He can do whatever he wants, go wherever he wants and not be challenged by anybody except
• 12:23
  potentially a moderator.
• 12:25
  And if he goes to friendly places, they're not even going to do that.
• 12:27
  So well, early voting doesn't start until next week.
• 12:30
  Right.
• 12:31
  And the people who normally vote the first couple of days are like the real partisans,
• 12:35
  you know, like me, I'm there at 7 a.m. on the first day, right?
• 12:38
  I want to be the first guy to vote.
• 12:41
  Yeah, I like to be like one of the first.
• 12:43
  I get very upset if I can vote.
• 12:45
  I do. I am.
• 12:46
  I am registered to vote now.
• 12:48
  I'm I mean, it's Paul and in Hayes County,
• 12:52
  where I live up here, because this is my homestead is here.
• 12:56
  So I can vote in Harris County.
• 12:59
  I wanted to, but I'm stuck to like my wife.
• 13:02
  It'll get complicated.
• 13:03
  I'm going to be accused of voter fraud.
• 13:06
  I don't want that hassle.
• 13:07
  Okay.
• 13:08
  But I have no idea who these people are.
• 13:10
  We have State Senator Paul Bettencourt on the phone.
• 13:13
  He has just called in.
• 13:14
  He's got some breaking news.
• 13:15
  So we're ... screw their break.
• 13:16
  Let's talk to Paul right away.
• 13:18
  Paul, what do you want to say?
• 13:19
  Well, I can hold the break.
• 13:20
  No, no.
• 13:21
  Don't do that.
• 13:21
  No, we're fine.
• 13:22
  We can wait.
• 13:23
  Go ahead, Senator.
• 13:24
  Okay, guys.
• 13:25
  What I've got is, we filed a motion to get rid of Carla Wyatt, who is basically a DWI
• 13:35
  intoxicated treasurer in multiple counties. Wayne knows it because he's been following the story,
• 13:42
  Craig, like you have been. So Louis LaRotta, who is a resident, filed a petition with the
• 13:50
  chief administrative judge, and she's accepted it. They're having a press conference at H.R.,
• 13:58
  at Harris County Republican Party.
• 14:01
  And there's a code that's on my ex at Team Bettencourt
• 14:06
  that everybody can go and retweet.
• 14:09
  And basically it says, yeah, at Team Bettencourt,
• 14:13
  it's government code 87.013.
• 14:16
  If you're incompetent, if you've got misconduct,
• 14:19
  or if you've been intoxicated, okay,
• 14:23
  you can be removed from office.
• 14:26
  and by consumption of an alcoholic beverage.
• 14:31
  Now, this car wreck Carla has had at least four run-ins with the law, two DWIs, a big traffic vendor on 45.
• 14:45
  She rifled through some parked car looking for money, got indicted, and then Wayne suspiciously unindicted by the DA.
• 14:56
  Yeah, really weird. So this is an example of the Republican Party having to do something that the Democrat Party, who's the majority party, should have pleased their own.
• 15:09
  And that's the real problem.
• 15:13
  So that's going on today at 10 o'clock.
• 15:16
  We'll have everybody on the amigos later,
• 15:18
  but I'm just, it's just staggering
• 15:22
  that you've got just this level of incompetence
• 15:25
  and corruption in Harris County government.
• 15:27
  Guys, what do you think?
• 15:28
  It is amazing first that you said
• 15:29
  that this is the kind of thing
• 15:31
  that the left should police itself.
• 15:33
  They shouldn't encourage their own
• 15:35
  to go this far down the rabbit hole
• 15:37
  of disgusting behavior or just completely the type of behavior that should preclude
• 15:42
  you from the ability to be in an office at all.
• 15:45
  Most people get fired from their job if they act like Carla Wyatt.
• 15:48
  Wayne, what do you want to say to this?
• 15:50
  Look, one or two drunk things, couple of major car accidents, rifling through a car, we're
• 15:58
  being so judgmental.
• 16:00
  No.
• 16:01
  I believe that this motion to remove public officials should happen a lot.
• 16:10
  I was wanting to do it when Lina Hidalgo did her rodeo nonsense because in competence is
• 16:17
  a really good word.
• 16:18
  It's meant to be broad.
• 16:21
  And I think we should use this all the time.
• 16:24
  I'm I love that this is happening Paul because this is exactly what we mean by fight fight fight
• 16:32
  It's it's when we do stuff like this
• 16:34
  If you idiots are gonna take this woman out and pull her aside and say honey, it's time to go
• 16:42
  Then we as taxpayers will
• 16:45
  Hey, by the way, why don't you take a break Chris?
• 16:48
  unless you got another guest coming right behind me,
• 16:53
  because Wayne's triggered a memory
• 16:55
  about how we used to do things in the Republican party,
• 17:00
  because we used to, and he knows the story.
• 17:03
  And I'm not sure that, so let's do that.
• 17:06
  Yeah, let's take a break and we'll come back.
• 17:07
  So Jack, let's go ahead and fire up the break now.
• 17:10
  We'll keep the Senator on hold
• 17:11
  and bring Senator Paul Bettencourt back after this.
• 17:14
  On KSEV Radio, the Amigos are up at four o'clock today,
• 17:18
  And it sounds like it's going to be must listen to radio.
• 17:21
  Right now, you're listening to the Mob Guys
• 17:22
  on The Voice of Texas.
• 17:29
  KSEV Radio, this is The Voice of Texas.
• 17:32
  He is Wayne Dolcefino.
• 17:33
  I am Craig Coglianese.
• 17:34
  I go by the real last name now, which is still weird.
• 17:37
  But my cousin is still very happy about it.
• 17:39
  We were supposed to call Vince Coglianese,
• 17:41
  but we'll do that at 8.30, because we do still
• 17:44
  have Paul Bettencourt on, Senator Bettencourt with us.
• 17:46
  Senator Bettencourt, welcome back to the show.
• 17:48
  Well, it's the Mod Guys plus the Senators, so it's like the Amigos AM edition.
• 17:54
  Hey, man.
• 17:55
  Okay.
• 17:56
  So you were mentioning before the break a story that you didn't think Wayne had heard
• 17:59
  before.
• 18:00
  Well, no, Wayne actually has heard it, but Wayne brought up a point that this should
• 18:04
  happen more often where public officials that are incompetent or misconduct or in this case,
• 18:12
  you know, intoxicated get removed.
• 18:15
  Now, Wayne, you remember that somebody that people liked a lot.
• 18:21
  Do you remember Chuck Rosenthal?
• 18:22
  Oh, yeah.
• 18:24
  Yeah.
• 18:24
  And I mean, and this was not something that anybody wanted to go do, but, you know, I
• 18:30
  know that I did and others said, look, I'm sorry, Chuck, you can't run, you know, because
• 18:36
  there was a, to make a long story short, there was a tranche of documents coming up that
• 18:40
  you wouldn't want your kids to see.
• 18:41
  But that was an example of when you had to say, sorry, you can't run.
• 18:49
  And look, on Team X, on Twitter, I want everybody to retweet this thing immediately.
• 18:54
  The bottom line is that Carla Wyatt, I mean, the Democrats, the majority, they should have told her not to run the primary.
• 19:01
  They should have told her, sorry, she's gone.
• 19:03
  And the new county attorney came in, whatever her name is, she should have filed this motion instead of waiting for the,
• 19:10
  the minority party Republicans?
• 19:14
  Wayne, am I missing something?
• 19:16
  No, you're absolutely right.
• 19:18
  But it's been a long time since we've had county attorneys
• 19:21
  or district attorneys, right, that do the right thing, Paul.
• 19:26
  And that's part of the reason the system breaks down
• 19:29
  because the local prosecutor is the local lawyer
• 19:32
  who represents the people of Harris County
• 19:35
  doesn't have the sense to say,
• 19:37
  Carla, people make mistakes,
• 19:39
  weeks, but you are on like a mission to get busted every other week.
• 19:45
  I wake up in the morning waiting to see the latest Carlo Wyatt story.
• 19:50
  Well, because she's been busted in like two or three counties.
• 19:54
  I mean, that's the other thing.
• 19:56
  You're right.
• 19:56
  Well, and the breaking into the car thing was the craziest thing to me, too.
• 19:59
  Like how do you get somebody at a position of power like that who's confused as to what
• 20:04
  car is hers and well intoxicated breaking into the wrong car?
• 20:08
  And then Craig, she wants to get a raise.
• 20:11
  She wants to go from 149,000 to 304,000.
• 20:17
  Now, amen.
• 20:18
  It's a great country.
• 20:19
  It's a great country.
• 20:19
  I did want to ask you about something else on your on your ex page Senator Bettencourt if you don't mind you said that the
• 20:26
  State voter registration backlog has been cleared. This is something that you were talking about last week on the amigos
• 20:31
  Can you give us an update on that story from what people had maybe heard when they were listening last Friday now?
• 20:38
  Okay
• 20:40
  short answer
• 20:42
  Snafu between the DPS and the Secretary of State on motor voter
• 20:48
  Which is what when you walk in there get your driver's license updated
• 20:53
  You can say hey, I want to register to vote
• 20:55
  They had left files because of a software update by vendors and there's problems on vendors with both departments
• 21:02
  They basically hadn't updated since last year
• 21:05
  Now what poured out because the new Secretary of State Robert Hall is a good guy found out about it. So he had to kick over
• 21:13
  500,000 registrations out to the county Wow
• 21:18
  to fix them and I have to credit, and that Ramirez and actually the people that used
• 21:27
  to work for me down at the tax office who are still there, they managed to plow through
• 21:32
  108,000 of them.
• 21:34
  Fortunately, in this day and time, most of them are electronic, but they got everything
• 21:39
  on the roll for the election.
• 21:45
  But it was a close call because, you know, Bexar County just finished this week and this is, you know, you throw half a million voter registrations in the system for, you know, the deadline.
• 21:59
  It takes real work to get it done.
• 22:01
  So your voter registrations should be there, and if not, you know, you got to pick up the phone and check it.
• 22:09
  Yeah. No, awesome. Well, thank you very much for the update on that. Anything else you want to tell us about Senator Bettencourt?
• 22:14
  No, I just want to say, you know, I'm honored to be on the morning three amigos with the
• 22:20
  Mod Boys.
• 22:22
  We can do that.
• 22:23
  We can do that more often.
• 22:24
  Maybe when the other guys are out on the amigos, we can come in and talk calls with you.
• 22:28
  When Paul said the senator, the Mob guys and the senator, he reminded me of the scene of
• 22:35
  the Godfather.
• 22:35
  You remember when the senator comes right and Michael wants the gaming license?
• 22:40
  Yes.
• 22:40
  He said I'll give you the gaming license if you give me two hundred fifty thousand dollars you little slimy haired
• 22:47
  Yeah, yeah, I don't like you people you remember that I do remember
• 22:50
  Michael says I'll give you my answer now
• 22:53
  Like you're not getting a penny in fact you're gonna pay for my license
• 22:57
  Yes, and then and then the senator got found in a bed with someone so I'm not I'm not not a bad Paul
• 23:03
  None of that's Paul
• 23:04
  I'm not threatening Paul, I'm just saying it's out there.
• 23:08
  Yeah, okay.
• 23:09
  Well, you know, as long as we could do it
• 23:11
  as the corruption fighter as Senator,
• 23:14
  as opposed to the dead man Senator,
• 23:17
  because I think he ended up, you know,
• 23:19
  was he in a dead or not?
• 23:22
  No, he ended up in bed with someone.
• 23:25
  You remember like I was like a woman,
• 23:26
  if she died and he woke up and didn't remember what happened.
• 23:30
  So he was like, he was toast, right?
• 23:33
  Senator Bettencourt, this is what I deal with every day.
• 23:36
  I know this was your idea to pair us together.
• 23:38
  I just want you to know.
• 23:39
  It was and I thought it's worth, you know, it's huge, it's beautiful, it's wonderful.
• 23:44
  It's the greatest I've ever seen.
• 23:46
  You guys are the greatest my team ever.
• 23:48
  And just bring that senator in for breaking news.
• 23:51
  I gotta run.
• 23:52
  I gotta go do something about what the Ukrainian were.
• 23:55
  We'll see you later Senator Bettencourt.
• 23:56
  Thank you for calling in.
• 23:57
  You have a big breaking news story.
• 23:58
  We'll probably cover that more today.
• 24:00
  I wasn't threatening the senator.
• 24:01
  I was simply just reminding him.
• 24:05
  What happens?
• 24:06
  What happens if he comes to us and says he doesn't like the show anymore and one of us is going away?
• 24:12
  Yeah, the next day he could wake up somewhere and, you know, could be a horse he's got in his head.
• 24:17
  Yeah, don't do that. Alright, quick break, a lot more KSEV radio, 700 AM, Voice of Texas.
• 24:32
  That's 281-558-5738.
• 24:37
  KSEV Radio, 700 a.m.
• 24:41
  It is the voice of Texas.
• 24:42
  Thank you to Senator Paul Bettencourt for calling in and giving us a breaking news story here
• 24:46
  in Harris County.
• 24:47
  And for that, I apologize to Vince Coglianese, my cousin, who we had to bump just a little
• 24:54
  bit but was nice enough to say yes and jump on the show anyway.
• 24:58
  Vince, how you doing, buddy?
• 24:59
  I'm doing fantastic.
• 25:01
  How are you doing? We're doing great. The mob guys are doing well today. Although Wayne is complaining about something
• 25:06
  I know you only know Wayne a little bit Vince, but that might not
• 25:10
  I said to your cousin. I said why don't I see Vince on our like video live stream?
• 25:22
  Yeah, I said I want to see would last time you talked to us. You seem distracted and I
• 25:28
  I think I want, no, I'm just joking,
• 25:31
  but I want to see whether he's like,
• 25:33
  was he on the bathroom?
• 25:34
  Yeah, you want to see him.
• 25:35
  Is he in the shower doing the show?
• 25:38
  Is he dressed and naked?
• 25:38
  So your complaint was that you don't see me in the bathroom
• 25:41
  and you'd like to, what was that?
• 25:44
  That's very odd.
• 25:45
  That's your buddy, bro.
• 25:46
  By the way, I did tell him that you do a Rumble show
• 25:48
  and a fancy studio and you're coming off that
• 25:51
  and then you got your national television show
• 25:53
  or radio show, so you're probably not in a place
• 25:56
  where Wayne would have fun.
• 25:58
  But anyway, how do you want to respond?
• 26:00
  Would you do a video call with us?
• 26:04
  Yeah, I'd do a video call.
• 26:05
  Yeah, of course.
• 26:06
  No problem.
• 26:06
  Not today.
• 26:07
  It feels like short notice.
• 26:08
  It is.
• 26:09
  I would do it soon.
• 26:11
  But you know, actually what happens is, in case you're wondering, if you really want
• 26:14
  the atmospheric swing, what normally happens when I'm on the phone, I just pace and I
• 26:18
  run all sorts of divots into the carpets in the house.
• 26:22
  And that's kind of how it works.
• 26:23
  Yeah, I do the same thing, by the way.
• 26:25
  That's nice.
• 26:25
  You know what I do? I have to go outside and smoke when I get a phone call.
• 26:32
  I give you the middle of the meeting, phone rings. I need to pair my conversations with
• 26:38
  the cigarette out in the trailer park where my office is.
• 26:42
  Yeah. Is this, you know, I, something's been lost. I think something's been lost by a few
• 26:47
  people smoking. It used to be so cool to take a smoke break because like everybody would
• 26:52
  go outside, everybody be chatting. Actually, the old school smoke breaks were just indoors
• 26:56
  where everybody just stayed at their desk. But I just remember maybe 20 years ago, going
• 27:03
  outside, I was not a smoker, but man, when everybody in the office took a smoke break,
• 27:06
  I'm like, dude, I'm not missing this conversation. I've got to be there for them. So I'd go out
• 27:11
  and take a smoke break with them because it was great.
• 27:13
  Yes. I remember-
• 27:14
  That's when all the good stuff happens.
• 27:16
  I remember in college-
• 27:17
  Yes.
• 27:18
  I remember when in college, a cute girl asked me to take a smoke break and I've never smoked
• 27:21
  to cigarette in my life and I was like, yeah, I'll do that at any time.
• 27:25
  Real quick.
• 27:25
  Yeah, so cute girls do have that power.
• 27:28
  They do.
• 27:28
  They always have that power.
• 27:29
  Real quick.
• 27:30
  We were talking about that yesterday, right?
• 27:32
  I was trying to ask a question about it actually.
• 27:35
  I'm sorry.
• 27:35
  Go ahead.
• 27:36
  I mean, we have Vince for a few minutes.
• 27:37
  I figured, like Kimberly Guilfoyle, maybe she should come up.
• 27:40
  Do you have any thoughts on what's going on there?
• 27:43
  I know that the White House Press Secretary's debut wasn't ideal, but I did think she dropped
• 27:48
  an actual significant piece of information. And we've seen J.D. Vance talk about this more now.
• 27:54
  What is the latest, as far as you're concerned, what do you think is going on?
• 27:58
  Well, a couple things, I guess, two components. The Kimberly Guilfoyle side of things, like,
• 28:03
  obviously, President Trump and Secretary Rubio thought it was real and serious enough that they
• 28:08
  asked her to resign. So she's gone now from that role. And so I would say that's a sign of the
• 28:15
  president's responsibility with these kinds of things and you know when the
• 28:19
  media is like often they'll get their totally corrupt they do anything to get
• 28:23
  away with everything they don't care they break laws okay well actually the
• 28:26
  president looked at this story and said okay the claim is that she was asking
• 28:32
  for money in exchange for access and and to be clear by the way that apparently
• 28:37
  the allegations were that all occurred before she was actually confirmed to the
• 28:42
  role of ambassador, which seems important in the timeline. She wasn't officially the
• 28:47
  government person yet when these claims are being made, but whatever. The president thought
• 28:51
  that it was damaging enough and concerning enough. He asked her to leave and she did.
• 28:55
  So I think it's a sign of him being a responsible leader under those circumstances. And the
• 28:58
  other side of it, Katie Zachariah, who is now the White House press secretary, I agree
• 29:03
  with you. I think she had kind of a, she had a nervous first start. She had a very short
• 29:07
  runway. She arrived there on Monday. She has press conference on Tuesday without
• 29:11
  the benefit of weeks of prep in order to do that role. She's nervous
• 29:16
  because it's a big job. I think you'd be nuts. You'd have to be a sociopath not to
• 29:21
  be nervous doing the White House press secretary job. What it looks like going
• 29:26
  forward, we'll see. Either she finds her sea legs and she starts doing less
• 29:31
  nervous and more capable press conferences, or maybe she just starts
• 29:35
  doing all of this fine-closed doors remember in the first try to get to what
• 29:38
  the president had
• 29:39
  A woman who represented him for a while. She never did any press conferences.
• 29:42
  She just communicated with reporters on email or in person.
• 29:46
  So we'll see.
• 29:47
  Yeah. Wayne, were you going to ask Vince?
• 29:49
  I was just going to say Vince that, you know, I guess you was there on Monday and
• 29:54
  on Tuesday, but you could do that. You could have done that press conference.
• 29:57
  Could you?
• 29:58
  Yeah, because I'm a sociopath.
• 30:01
  Well, that's really what was the admission I was looking for.
• 30:07
  See how quickly we can get to what you're digging.
• 30:11
  But I am one too.
• 30:13
  But I know a ton of media professionals that could have done that and they still would
• 30:21
  have given her crap or whatever but could have pulled it off in a lot better.
• 30:24
  She couldn't say five words without looking down on her paper to make sure that and I'm
• 30:31
  not trying to be a jerk.
• 30:33
  I'm really not.
• 30:33
  I get it.
• 30:34
  She was thrown in, but you know, I tell people that come to work for me, I'm going to train
• 30:39
  you for about four hours and then I'm going to throw you in the pond.
• 30:43
  Have a good time.
• 30:44
  I mean, you've got to be.
• 30:46
  Yeah.
• 30:46
  There's something to that.
• 30:47
  Definitely.
• 30:48
  And I think that's a good life lesson.
• 30:49
  Like always take a little bit more than you actually can handle because then you'll be
• 30:52
  able to handle that undoubtedly.
• 30:54
  But you know, look, the reality is she has been a pretty talented advocate for the president's
• 31:00
  agenda on television in the past.
• 31:01
  She has.
• 31:01
  It's not like she's just a rando that they selected, you know, out of nowhere.
• 31:06
  Hey, honey, you look good.
• 31:08
  That's a good shot.
• 31:09
  Well, that's good.
• 31:10
  Yeah, she cleared it.
• 31:10
  Look, first of all, the visuals matter.
• 31:14
  The president's always had an eye for television, and now that works.
• 31:16
  But this point about her being a verbal advocate for him, she's been doing it.
• 31:21
  The question is, does she develop enough knowledge and confidence to do it with the biggest adversaries
• 31:26
  on the planet, which is the American News Bureau?
• 31:28
  Yeah.
• 31:28
  I have two more quick topics and maybe we just got to pick one because I want your take on Shane Gillis Vince
• 31:34
  Because it's becoming much bigger story than I expected
• 31:37
  I saw the clip I think on Sunday morning because I like Shane and I some of my social media must be
• 31:44
  Tailored to it and I thought it was funny and then I was like, okay Shane Gillis once again pushed the left on SNL
• 31:49
  He's hosted three times. They've reacted all three times the same way
• 31:52
  This one had more legs and Wayne and I played audio from CBS morning news
• 31:58
  opening like it was a crazy controversy and I think Shane in a podcast said he
• 32:02
  is not apologizing for what he doesn't deserve to apologize for but yeah but
• 32:07
  what is your quick take on the Shane Gillis making a joke about women's
• 32:10
  attire Jim? It's a normal opinion that a lot of people have that he's built down
• 32:17
  into something really clever and people laughed at it that's a sign of good
• 32:21
  comedy and and by the way I think I think there are tons of women who
• 32:25
  responded to it in the same way. But, but regardless, it's a joke and it's actually
• 32:31
  hysterical. I think the funniest, I think the funniest reaction to this is that now
• 32:36
  you have all these women who are sending their absolutely most sexualized gym outfits to
• 32:42
  Shane Gillis as if this will own him. It's like, I'm, I'm, I'm getting back at you. Look
• 32:47
  at this provocative photo of me. I'm like, I, the psychology of this needs to be studied
• 32:53
  because it's completely insane.
• 32:54
  Amen. And Shane Gillis joking about how he's in the background of a bunch of the pictures staring at these women will not be upset by his inbox being flooded with this stuff.
• 33:01
  Well, he'll benefit from all of this and then the rest of the media, they're just scandal monitoring. They know better. They're actually the media people are way more disgusting than Shane Gillis. A lot of those people are way more disgusting.
• 33:12
  All right. And I know I don't want to keep you too much longer. But the one last question I do want to ask you about is about Talarico. Talarico did a town hall in CNN.
• 33:18
  Even some people that Wayne knows that we know that are influential in the Conservative Party locally thought he did well
• 33:26
  Mostly because it was unfairly easy to him
• 33:29
  There was a lot of things that would have made it harder that didn't happen
• 33:32
  But do you think at this point Ken Paxton needs to be debating James Talarico or what do you think?
• 33:38
  What was your reaction to all that story? I think it'd be fine
• 33:41
  I think they should do a debate
• 33:42
  But actually that the Talarico town hall like the guy just spent the whole thing time lying
• 33:47
  The reason why a conservative might watch that, the reason why a conservative might watch that, I'd be like, I kind of agree with what he's saying.
• 33:53
  Yeah, because he just made up this opinion last night. He's literally gaslighting you into believing that he supports the oil industry in Texas.
• 34:02
  The same guy who said that it needs to be destroyed on video.
• 34:06
  And the guy is lying about his perspective on the Bible. He's lying about the border.
• 34:10
  He said that ice needs to go away. We need to end the secret police
• 34:14
  He said and then he stands up there and acts like he supports ice agents. It's Craig. He's a liar
• 34:19
  So anybody who's watching that gone man, I some of those opinions sounded good
• 34:23
  Yeah, because he just made them up to suck up to you just before he got on stage
• 34:27
  Yeah, no, it is incredible Wayne. Did you want to say some else him?
• 34:29
  No
• 34:30
  I think with the back to campaign should hire Vince to do the spot that I was arguing that
• 34:35
  Paxton should be doing in the closing arguments, right? Because the guy is just a bald-faced liar on his record and
• 34:44
  And I just don't at the very least
• 34:48
  The attack at kid the last part of this campaign the final thing can't be another
• 34:56
  It's gotta be you know something
• 34:58
  You know, I just I'm sorry to interrupt you
• 35:01
  I just think I'm you guys have obviously talked about the news this week that
• 35:04
  Talarico's campaign just pulled in $65 million. Yeah. That's the most ready.
• 35:10
  You ready for this? That's the most that any Senate candidate has ever
• 35:14
  fundraised in a single corner in the history of humanity. Okay.
• 35:19
  Are you serious? People have a bad case of the Talarico's.
• 35:23
  Do you really think that's what's going on in Texas?
• 35:25
  Everybody's super excited. I got to open up my checkbook for that guy. No,
• 35:28
  this is a rigged operation. A lot of that money's coming from out of state.
• 35:31
  Democrats are trying to steal that Senate seat and Texas voters should work their tails off to make sure that doesn't happen.
• 35:37
  Amen. I know he's got a lot to do so we should let Vince go, but thank you so much as always, Vinnie, for jumping on and being a part of the show with us.
• 35:42
  Hey, love you, Vinnie. You're the good Coglianese.
• 35:45
  My cousin, Vince.
• 35:46
  Love doing it. I'll find a good room to do the video call from.
• 35:49
  Awesome. Perfect. Vince Coglianese every day from 12 to 1 o'clock right here on The Voice of Texas. Quick break, a lot more on KSEV Radio.
• 36:06
  Music, KSEV Radio, On the Voice of Texas, I am Craig Coglianese.
• 36:11
  Thank you to my cousin Vince for jumping in and being a part of the show.
• 36:14
  We got Wayne Dolcefino, of course as always, as the real legend, the real name of this
• 36:20
  program.
• 36:21
  Right, the real legend.
• 36:22
  I'm like Vince.
• 36:23
  Is that what you were trying to say?
• 36:24
  No, no, no.
• 36:25
  I don't know.
• 36:25
  I don't know what I'm trying to say.
• 36:26
  Vinny is making a name for himself, man.
• 36:28
  He's very talented guy.
• 36:30
  Yes, and I'd like him and I like the Coglianeses as the general rule
• 36:36
  I mean I'm big on the fan, but I I've liked him the minute I talked to him because I can and when
• 36:43
  Although I wasn't just for the record. I wasn't suggesting I wanted to see video on
• 36:49
  Video on the toilet naked. I wasn't what I was going for. Okay, we know
• 36:55
  We're not waiting.
• 36:57
  He went straight for the homo card.
• 37:00
  He did.
• 37:00
  He did.
• 37:00
  And all I was doing was just saying it would be funny to see him and he took it as like
• 37:06
  some kind of sexual interest.
• 37:08
  I think he was trying to lean into the joke, but you're right.
• 37:11
  He took a shot that he maybe didn't need to take, but we'll see him next week.
• 37:14
  I think we'll set that up.
• 37:15
  We'll see what he's doing and maybe he will be on the John.
• 37:17
  Who knows?
• 37:18
  Look, I like doing the video.
• 37:20
  I want people to come on.
• 37:22
  I think people need to see people.
• 37:24
  Look, I think it's really important.
• 37:29
  And when Paul called in and said that they were having
• 37:31
  a press conference at the Republican Party or somewhere,
• 37:35
  this thing, the Republican Party should be doing
• 37:37
  press conferences all the time.
• 37:39
  There should be this nonstop assault by the Republican Party
• 37:47
  in Harris County, in Fort Bend County, in Montgomery County
• 37:50
  to say, look at all the stupid stuff they do.
• 37:56
  That the Democrats are just fine that we have a treasurer
• 37:59
  who is like on a one woman mission to be like a weasel.
• 38:03
  Yeah, the drunkest person, yes.
• 38:05
  She's drunk, she's rifling through cars.
• 38:08
  I mean, the perfect person to trust the money to.
• 38:13
  Yeah, right.
• 38:14
  Right?
• 38:14
  Of course.
• 38:15
  You want that, you want the drunk person
• 38:17
  to take care of the money.
• 38:19
  Yeah, my drunkest friend has always been the smartest with money. That's been my own life. That's right
• 38:24
  Because sometimes things we know in life are true in politics to they almost are yeah
• 38:30
  You don't want to elect stupid people. Yes, you don't want to elect lying people. Yeah, and
• 38:38
  That's why I was thinking about the Talarico thing was saying he just
• 38:42
  ball-faced lie about how we... I want oil and gas. Find me a place I can put a drill.
• 38:51
  I want a drill baby drill.
• 38:54
  Yeah, well, people who don't know, if they just think we're saying that, I think it was
• 38:58
  like 2021 or 2022 when he heavily backed and maybe even wrote a bill that was all about
• 39:03
  climate change and all about like climate protection that would have devastated the
• 39:07
  oil and gas industry here in Texas.
• 39:09
  Oh, he loves it.
• 39:10
  But he not only has voted a certain direction, he has been a sponsor of bills that would
• 39:15
  go after this kind of stuff.
• 39:17
  And then for him to say on television in 2026 that he's a big fan of everything is literally
• 39:23
  insane and yet it's working for some people.
• 39:25
  Remember that time when they asked him what he thought about and he thought about trans
• 39:28
  kids?
• 39:29
  Remember that?
• 39:30
  Remember when we were talking about that?
• 39:31
  If you ask him that same question today, he will say, I think about the little boys who
• 39:38
  are too, that are into everything and playing with trucks and army soldiers.
• 39:46
  Right? My grandson likes all the army soldiers now, right?
• 39:51
  Yeah.
• 39:51
  So we've been buying him army soldiers, right?
• 39:53
  Although, as I told you before, back in my day, the Japanese people were yellow, right?
• 39:59
  Well, now the Indian words were red.
• 40:02
  And the different shades of green now.
• 40:04
  Yeah, I got you.
• 40:05
  The Germans used to be gray. Now there are different shades of green.
• 40:08
  Because you can't offend.
• 40:09
  Now you shouldn't.
• 40:09
  You can't suggest.
• 40:10
  No. None of that.
• 40:11
  That they're gray people.
• 40:12
  Right.
• 40:13
  But I see that and I say, boy, he's old boy.
• 40:15
  And I think that would be James Talarico's answer today.
• 40:18
  I think about the little boys playing with tanks and shooting water pistols.
• 40:26
  You're right.
• 40:27
  You're right, actually.
• 40:27
  It's funny.
• 40:28
  Instead of the answer he gave a while ago where he's thinking about the trans kids,
• 40:31
  he would absolutely be thinking about the obviously straight, normal, everyday kids
• 40:36
  that you interact with.
• 40:38
  The children that are being trained to be toxic, masculine people.
• 40:42
  No.
• 40:42
  And I love that and I know a lot of people who've talked about that in their own lives where that message really fails when
• 40:48
  They look at their own kid their own son their own daughter and how obviously they behave within
• 40:53
  What their gender is because anyone who's been around a kid?
• 40:56
  Knows that boys like to punch and roll and and you know do all kinds of stuff and girls are much quieter and much more
• 41:03
  Subdued in their day-to-day life growing up. Go ahead. I will say also this you were talking about the Saturday Saturday night live thing
• 41:09
  And I did think, after I got off the show, I'm all wired up, ready to argue my right wing, racist, white masculine pride nonsense.
• 41:23
  And I mentioned it, and I have a couple of women employees, and one of them is really liberal and one is shorter.
• 41:31
  And they said, oh, he called all women whores.
• 41:34
  I said, no, he called all women whores.
• 41:35
  That's not at all what he did.
• 41:36
  He was just saying it and they were all denying that they dressed like that.
• 41:42
  They do.
• 41:42
  In their leggings.
• 41:43
  Yeah.
• 41:44
  To like...
• 41:44
  They do.
• 41:46
  I called them liars.
• 41:48
  They're liars.
• 41:50
  Yeah.
• 41:50
  Well, my favorite, I saw a video on social media of someone making fun of the thing and
• 41:54
  showing like a blue haired, bigger set lady that's obviously upset when she's watched
• 41:59
  Saturday Night Live at Shane Gillis and then she walks down the street, glances into the
• 42:02
  mirror or into the window at a gym sees a bunch of women dressed in provocative clothing and calls them all whores because there are a
• 42:08
  Lot of people who would do that
• 42:09
  And if you did actually go to a gym and see the type of outfit that Shane was making fun of
• 42:15
  You might think that someone was I don't know what word you'd choose, but you might think that someone was dressed fairly provocatively at the gym
• 42:22
  Yeah, yeah, I they were very offended by it. Of course. I'm thinking of myself
• 42:28
  myself.
• 42:29
  God, really?
• 42:30
  But you know what's really interesting to me?
• 42:32
  Like the thing that I think people aren't really thinking about on that topic, they
• 42:35
  already don't like Shane Gillis.
• 42:37
  He's already hosted the show twice.
• 42:38
  They've already overreacted to other jokes he made and didn't catch fire like this one
• 42:43
  did.
• 42:43
  So every part of it, it's the person you know in your life who hates Trump, who hates conservatives,
• 42:49
  who's waiting for you to say anything that you could possibly say to make them mad and
• 42:54
  then they'll get mad.
• 42:55
  But they're mad already.
• 42:56
  They're just waiting for an excuse to be mad at you and I really think that's what's happened
• 43:00
  I think that so many people that already hated Shane that already mad at him
• 43:04
  Wanted a specific joke that they could get someone else to agree. Well, he was a jerk here. He was a terrible person here
• 43:11
  Yeah, yeah, it's really Trump when Trump tells like these really off-color jokes. Yeah, yeah, and they go crazy
• 43:19
  Yes, right because it's so how I can't believe he made people have lost their
• 43:25
  Damn sense of humor.
• 43:27
  They have.
• 43:28
  It was a joke.
• 43:29
  Well, and the funniest part about it too is, and this is my point about who they choose
• 43:33
  to hate and who they don't choose to hate, Jimmy Kimmel had made a joke about somebody's
• 43:36
  Jim attire a day earlier on his show and no one cared.
• 43:40
  A bunch of comedians, I think they're pulling up clips of Dave Chappelle making jokes about
• 43:44
  how women dress in certain ways and how confusing it is to guys and they like Dave Chappelle
• 43:49
  right now.
• 43:50
  So that's okay because Dave Chappelle has broke bad against Trump recently.
• 43:53
  I thought oh, is that what it is because your pelvis wasn't when I was making fun of trans folks over he was but now
• 43:58
  He's made fun of Trump enough that I think he I don't know I can never tell I just care. What's funny
• 44:03
  I don't really care what people think I don't think about like I wonder who's gonna be offended. Yeah, exactly
• 44:08
  I wonder what side they're on. All right. Well, that's it. That's the whole show the whole show is over
• 44:13
  It's over. We're done again. We had the senator who's trying to bribe us. Yes. Yeah, that's not what happened
• 44:18
  We had Vince Coglianese, the big Coglianeses, as I call him.
• 44:24
  The biggest of the Coglianeses would be Vince.
• 44:26
  Is that the week's over?
• 44:28
  Yeah, we're done.
• 44:29
  Well, we'll see you on Monday, man.
• 44:30
  Have a good weekend, Wayne.
• 44:31
  Hey, YouTube brother. Have a good weekend.
• 44:33
  Have a good weekend, everybody.
• 44:34
  Yes.
• 44:35
  As Marvin used to say, good golf, good tennis, whatever makes you happy.
• 44:40
  Amen.
• 44:41
  All right, see you guys on Monday.
