• 1:10
  Speaker 3: For now, you never know.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I don't have a personal life.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Do you want a personal life or not at this point?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You know what? I think I'm over it. For a
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: long time, those who know me during my heyday, I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: was a bar guy. I would go out at night
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and hang out and look for women. Do I who
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I want to be friends with. And I was that guy.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I'm a bar guy too.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but now when you're like 69 and you're a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: bar guy, you just look like.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: It's a different feeling.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You look like grandpa, just kind of like lurking around
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the bar.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Doesn't it depend on the bar though? Like if you
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: go to a nice enough bar, I feel like you're
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: still fine.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: But I've never been a nice.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Ah, you're a hole in the wall guy.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I really am. Yeah, me too. I've always been happier... Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Among the peoples.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And not among the aristocrats.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: The fancy, yeah, yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I've never been a fancy guy guy going out.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Why do you think that is?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I'm a flappish guy. I mean,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I think that's part of it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I think you're just a real person. You know, like
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: when I go to the fancy spot.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I mean this honestly, though, when I because I'm going
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to give myself a compliment, too. It's going to be
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: for both of us.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You realize we were interrupted.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: You interrupted me before I talked about myself.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: That's what.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I was going to say is when you go to
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the fancy spot, whenever I get invited to one of
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: those places, everybody's full of crap. Like you can feel it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: You can feel it in the room. Everybody's dressed to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the nines. And part of their atmosphere is. is crap.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: And then when you go to the hole-in-the-wall bar, those people,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: there's no pretense. There's nothing fake.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little simpler. Yeah, right. I think I like
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a little simpler.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I like those simple people, too.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Which is why I sort of thought you were okay. Yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: he's an idiot. He's a total, total dumb guy.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: That's fantastic. There's a lot going on in the world.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Are we doing weather bulletins every five minutes for this
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: 35 mile an hour tropical storm.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Does Russell want to do a weather bolding? He said
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the top of the hour.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: That's it. Sorry, I mentioned. Here, look. I don't need to. Look,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I was actually being sort of facetious.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, got it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, I covered hurricanes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: The investigative people at Channel 13, we covered hurricanes. Yeah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Because we were dispensable. Because we were not a daily crew.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So their view was if we went to a hurricane
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and we got swept away, nobody really would notice because
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: we're not usually on anyway.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: The benefit of you being there outweighed the risk of
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you being killed.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And they would just care about the satellite truck. Gotcha.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Back then before we had little jet packs and we
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: could go live anywhere, we had big satellite trucks. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: they were worried about the truck because they became self-insured.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So that million dollar, two million, whatever it was. Right.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They wanted that back. They don't care about you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can go.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: It was like it's expected, you know, that the National
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Weather Service would put out one of these. Everyone's going
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to die. And I remember a Galveston storm, actually. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to mention names. Well, if I remembered them.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: I would.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: But there was the morning crew, right? So I was
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: part of the afternoon-evening crew, right? The morning crew... We
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: woke up in the morning, the afternoon people, and we
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: walked outside, and all our trucks were gone.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Overnight, the National Weather Service, I think this was Ike, maybe. Overnight,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the National Weather Service had said, everyone's going to die. Right?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: You're on Galveston, you're going to die. Sure. One of those.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Gotcha.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We're all going to die. And they took it at heart,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and like the brave, whiny babies they were— They all said, oh, no,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we're going to die. And they all left.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: They just took all the trucks.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So it was Jessica Willey, Ted Oberg, and I were
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the three, like, afternoon reporters.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: The expendable people.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Right. And we get up, and we're all, like, going
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to breakfast and, like, going, hey, where are the trucks? Right? Overnight,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: they fled Galveston. Wow. And so we had to do
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the entire hurricane with one of those little trucks– Remember
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: those little TV trucks? I do.
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: It wasn't one that's, like, good for blowing in the wind. Uh-huh.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So we had to do the entire hurricane coverage, the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: three of us, with one little microwave. They used to
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: call them microwave trucks. Microwave trucks.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: And you're alive.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Because it was... That never happens.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not Nepal. And I'm not to be
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: mean to Nepal. But it's, like, things like that don't happen. Sure. Where, like,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the entire.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Island is screwed.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, I... And I understand history, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not making light of it, but in 1900 we
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: had a bad storm in Galveston. I get it and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. And we've been freaked out ever since
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: about hurricanes, and I totally understand it. But we weren't
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: going to all die. Right.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: We're probably not all going to die this time is
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: what you're saying too.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I was willing to have Ted Oberg die because I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: didn't really like him that much.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just kidding. No, I love it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: He's in Washington.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing I can do. I can pay
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: attention to the weather because some other stuff that I've
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: done before in radio, like you do a weather thing
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: as the guy, the host, and you don't make the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: other person running the.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Board do it. Especially when Russell doesn't want to do it. Well, no,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it's not that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Like, you don't even make them. And so occasionally we
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: can give you an update on this. There is a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: flood watch in effect until 7 o'clock tomorrow. And right
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: now it kind of looks like it could be bad.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I'm evaporating.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: You're evaporating?
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: You're going to leave?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Was it 40 miles an hour now?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The winds right now are at 6 miles per hour.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: They're not that bad.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: No, no. That's not how fast the wind is.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: That's how far it's going.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: That's how it's moving.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: It says wind speed, northwest at six miles per hour.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: That means the storm is moving at six miles an hour.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Well, no, but this isn't the storm. This is just
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the weather.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: This is just the National Weather Service.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Can I say something? I think you are no longer
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: going to be allowed to do the weather.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I can give it to you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: The winds are like 40 miles an hour, 50 miles
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: an hour. I don't know. Normally, it's like 39. It
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: becomes a tropical storm.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It says today, north wind around five miles per hour.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, all right. We're not going to have you
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: do the weather. Where's my phone? My gosh.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I give it to the National Weather Service, man. I
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: got Houston pulled up. I think that right now, I
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: drove in. Did you feel a lot of wind outside?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I barely kept my car on the road.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, gotcha.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: If you're driving right now, be very, very careful. It's
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: not even drizzling.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing. It's mostly cloudy right now.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: People panic over things that aren't worth panicking over.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: And they go and get the bread and milk. Is
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that a thing they do here, or is that just
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: a thing they do?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: See, I got so big in TV that I started
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: refusing to cover the little storms. I said, come see
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: me when it's like a hurricane.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Only the deadly ones.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the tropical storms.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Was there anyone that wanted you to go? Do you
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: think there's anyone that worked with you that was thrilled
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: when you only covered the most dangerous ones?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I know my photographer always wanted to go because
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he drank tequila. This is one of those admissions that
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: we can make now that might. I had a photographer,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Noe Cadena, still around. Yeah. And he was my photographer
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: during Waco and everything else. I remember at Waco when
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: we realized that we were going to be there for
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: two months for the Waco standoff on like the third day.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: We were like, this is going to last forever. Sure.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And we went into a liquor store and we bought
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: a case of tequila. We did.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: That's amazing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And Herodora was Noe's tequila. That's great. That's good tequila.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And he used to put That tequila on ice when
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: we'd go cover Hardin's. I wasn't ever drunk.
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Because Noah drank more than I did. Right. But it's true.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: You know what's crazy about that is the amount of
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: stories I've heard of the yesteryear of broadcasting. Gary Elliott,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the guy who used to do production here, who passed away,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he told me that when he was doing traffic in
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: a helicopter— the dude that flew the helicopter for him
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: was like a military guy, and he'd be hung over
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, the NOM guys. They were nuts.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Right, and so a lot of times when Gary would
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: get there, the guy would be like, hey, can I
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: show you how to fly the helicopter? And then Gary
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: learned how to fly the helicopter. Yeah, because the other
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: guy didn't want to do it all the time.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: They never offered me. But I will say this about
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the NOM guys, because I came up in that era
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: when the NOM guys were the pilots. They were insane. Yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They looked like they had just stopped drinking like seven
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: minutes ago.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And I remember. somewhere, was it Wharton? Somewhere where we
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: were flying really low on the water, like really low.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: It was like one of these rivers.
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: There was a bridge, and literally he waited until about
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: one second before he hit the bridge.
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Before he went straight up. And he thought it was fun.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Sure. That was their fun. Right. Was like getting as
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: close to a building or a bridge as possible. And
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: we used to hang out. That was before we had
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: all those cameras underneath the thing. They literally, the first
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: time I was in a helicopter- They literally just opened
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the door, and then the photographer would, like, lean out, like,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: with this big thing around him.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: He's got a harness. He's fine.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: And I was, like, going, what? Yeah. But the first
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: live thing I ever did in a helicopter was over
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Kyle Field. And we flew to College Station, and we
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: flew over Kyle Field. And all of a sudden, I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: had no idea what was going to happen. I just
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: assumed there was a camera underneath. And all of a sudden,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: they opened the damn door.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I kind of wish we still did that stuff because
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: there's so many people that are so young in these
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: industries that are so terrified of everything.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're wimps.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: That if you just did that one day, like you
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: got to dangle out of the helicopter today, I feel
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: like it'd toughen up a lot of people.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. My first hurricane down in Corpus, I want
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to say it was Hurricane Ellen, we literally– like the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: winds were like 105 miles an hour in Corpus, and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: we literally– Went outside the hotel and crawled to the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: palm trees and then held on to the palm trees. Wow.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And let them lift us off the ground while we
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: were holding on. And I remember me and a guy
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: from CBS, we were young and stupid and half crazy
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and drunk and having a good time. I mean, you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the bars were usually open. Right. And so we did that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And people now think that's insane. Right.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: They think you can't. I think there's something about the
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: good aspects of that type of experience in somebody's professional career.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It's a microcosm of what's wrong with America. Okay. Because....
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Let's get... Yeah, this is a tease. Look at Russell
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: right there. That's a perfect point.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Russell. Nice. Russell was actually listening. That's frightening. So listen,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: when we get back.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: We'll tell you what's wrong with America.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying what's wrong with America.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: And it involves you and a palm tree.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: It does. Okay. And a cocktail.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And at least one cocktail. This is KSV Mornings. He
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: is Wayne Dolcefino. I am Craig Collins. More coming up

  Speaker 3: The Voice of Texas.
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: For many years, the Pine Box has been helping families
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: gain insight into the often confusing and extremely expensive task
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: of arranging a loved one's funeral. I have worked with
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: Pine Box in the death of two family members because
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: I know I can trust Chip Beresford at the Pine Box.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: He's the owner.
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: To be sure that he walks me through that process
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: and that I am prepared for the funeral and that
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: I get the quality I seek without breaking the budget.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Because it's a very difficult thing.
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: No one wants to feel like a cheapskate handling a
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: funeral of a loved one, but you also can't afford
• 13:40

• 14:44
  Speaker 2: All right, mob guys, morning. It's Tuesday. There's a tropical
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: storm out there.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: There is.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm getting ready to announce, for all those listening,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the problem with America. Yeah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: You were talking about you dangling from a palm tree.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: And then you said that that is a microcosm.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Reporters don't do that anymore. You know why?
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Because, first of all, they're not as fun. Right. Because
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: we were wild. I mean, the people that were in
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: radio back in the day, or TV. We were wild partiers.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, we lived it. We worked it. We worked
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: incredibly long hours. We partied like rock stars. We did.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: That was just the thing. But we're soft.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got soft. As a society, we got soft.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: We got soft. You don't see reporters holding on to
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: palm trees anymore. No.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Nobody's going to do that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: It's a microcosm of what's wrong with us. Because, like,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I remember when the war started, and you know me,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a big, I told you, I'm a big war guy.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I like to watch the war on TV. I'm not
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: in it, so what the hell, I can watch it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But we were in the war, like, three days, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: people were calling it a quagmire.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were also calling it a forever war.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: It was three days.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: It was, like, literally a weekend. We bombed them for
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: a couple of nights, and everyone was going, oh, no,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: we're running out of bombs.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I do remember that story. I thought that story was
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: uniquely insane.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: But it was like early on. It was early, early on. Folks,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the smart people that listen to this show know that
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: it was like literally like a couple of days. We're
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: going to be trapped in this war forever. Right? And
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: there's a toilet broken on the USS Lincoln. Somebody tried
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to jump overboard. That person is crazy.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: That person is crazy.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: And there are crazy people in the military.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Some of them. Right. Still. And so. But yeah, we're
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: all ready to give up. Yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: No, I know.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I can't possibly. It's been six months. We've only been
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: shooting for four of the weeks of the six months.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, six months.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people now and not. The
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: generation that you're from, my generation.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: What generation am I from?
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Are you Gen X?
• 17:22
  Speaker 12: What?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Are you Gen X?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I'm a boomer.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: OK, a boomer.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Either one.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: You're not millennial. I'm a millennial. My generation sucks is
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: what I was going to say. And the generation after
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: me kind of sucks. And what I mean by this
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: is I feel like a lot of people walk into
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: most scenarios, especially professional ones, looking for a reason to
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: consider themselves a victim. They're just looking for it. They're
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: looking for something to say, all right, this is how
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I'm being treated unfairly. And so in the case of
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about with, like, reporters and stuff, if
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: you told someone to go out to the hurricane, I
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: think now what you'd get from most people is, why me?
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Instead of, like, just go do your job.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure. Back in the day, we would, like, three
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: or four days before the hurricane, it was still, like,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: forming off the Bay of Campeche or something. And we'd
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: all be in the boss's office going, I want to go. Right.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: Send me.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Send me. I'll go.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: That's not how people are anymore.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: And it's a shame.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: It's like even yesterday I was talking about like my
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: staff in the morning. And it was like yesterday was
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a classic example. I mean, the reason I knew it was.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I like that you do this every day. But it's
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: true because it really bothers me. And I try to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: say it in so many ways to my people. But
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: it's like literally I knew it was 5 o'clock only.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Because of the line.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Because there were people in my office.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Like sort of strolling down like. They weren't really leaving.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: It was like a nonchalant kind of strolling. But they
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: wanted to leave. But anyway, the weather. So as I've discussed,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: a wind speed is six miles an hour. It is
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: traveling six miles an hour.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: When you're talking about a storm. When you're actually reading
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: the details of a storm, the speed at which it's
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: moving is different than the wind it's creating around it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: I understand that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Shockingly.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I understand that. The website I was reading was not
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: talking about a storm.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: You have no idea how strong this storm is right now.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: It could be 150 miles an hour.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I can't believe I got into the building.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: We could be a wall of water coming here.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about that first because I actually think that
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: that's another component to how we've become a broken society.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: We also overreact to everything. Like news media will talk
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: about every storm like it's the end of society. And
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think we used to do that. I feel
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: like that's a relatively new, say, past 30 something years creation.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Because they think they have to get people to watch it. Right. say, hey,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you know, the stock market crashed today, but hey, it
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: crashes every week, don't worry about it. They don't do that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: They'll say, this could be the worst day in Wall
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Street history. It's all part of this getting people to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: watch stuff. We didn't think about Like, I don't think
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: we thought about, like, let's think of the most outrageous
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: thing we could say to get people to watch because
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: people watched.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: So then as people stopped watching, then we tried to
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: come up with gimmicks.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Well, there's too many options now. The other problem is
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: that there's just too much stuff to watch, like television news.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: is failing. You're actually a really interesting person to talk
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: to about this story. Thank you. Honestly, because you had
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: so much experience at the time, like the Wayne Dolcefino
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: report was must-watch TV.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 15% of the audience would watch. Sometimes 18% of
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the entire audience.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: No one could recreate that now on regular television because
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: television itself doesn't even have the pull. Even if you
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: went back to TV and did the thing all over again.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: No, that would do it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, that would do it?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, never mind. Overnight.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I would think that none of the TV stations would
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: have the audience to give you the... Like, you can
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: do better now as just a guy on social media,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: the way that you are.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Well, sure, because back then... It would be Monday, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: you would be promoting Thursday at 10. Right. The fire
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: inspectors and the topless bars, right?
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: That was like a big thing. So, sure, everybody would
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: turn at 10 o'clock. There wasn't DVRs. Right. So no
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: one was recording shows. Right. And so you had this–
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: most people watched 9 o'clock. show, whatever their favorite show was.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: They only had a few outlets that really gave them
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: up-to-date information. It wasn't like you had up-to-date information everywhere.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: We had them trapped. They were stuck.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Well, in a way, but at the same time, I
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: think it also probably benefited a lot of people intellectually
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: to not think every second of every day about what's
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I posted a job the other day. Don't apply, people.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: He's telling me not to apply.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, I was listening to KSV this morning and And
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you got a job. No, I'm not. I don't want
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to do it. I'm not hiring you. But the people
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: that have applied, a lot of them are old TV people. Sure.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: And their experience level was pretty significant. Yeah. Right? The
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: problem is the business also doesn't pay what it paid.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Well, and things have also changed. I think we get
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: that here. When we post a job here sometimes, we
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: get a lot of people that have a 30 year career.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: And then you, you tell them like, Oh my God,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I can't believe you're applying to this job at this level.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: But then also you ask them about some of the
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: newer skills and they don't have those.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So there are, what is a newer skill?
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of video and social media becomes
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: a huge component of broadcasting.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: You set up these cameras. I do. Can I tell
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you something? I would, I don't do that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. No, it's fine. I don't carry luggage. I
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: tell my staff, I don't carry luggage, and I don't
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: do the camera.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: You employ someone that does because you understand the need
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: for it now.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Well, because I'm in– hello, I'm in social media. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: have no choice but to have a camera.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I know. Well, that's what I mean.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So somebody– I literally could– because we talked about me
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: doing this at my office in the morning, right? And
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: you even came to the office.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I set it up.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: And you set it all up, and I took it
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: all apart because it was in my way. It's all apart.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Did you take it all apart?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: No, it's all apart. Okay. But we can put it
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: back together. But I need someone to do that, which
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: means not only do I have to be a doctor.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a dummy and get up in the morning, but I
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: have to get one of my staff.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: You got to get somebody else up. I like having
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: you here.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it for free. He'll do
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: anything for free.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: It's nice having you here, man. This is easier than
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: having you.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I, you know, I enjoy the, I, I'm a
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: little weird about this remote thing and you're going to
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: be one place. I'm going to be another. Cause you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: people get vibes off each other. Like you, you start
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: talking about something and I remember some, drunken moment in
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: my professional career.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Which we need to talk about more of those off
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the air. We need to talk about more of those.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: But I have nothing to be ashamed of. I wouldn't
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: judge you. My view is I was, and a lot
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of us were, I remember the investigative reporter conventions, you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: and they were great 30 years ago because we were
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: all like tough kind of guys. And now we're just
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's our feminine side. I don't
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: know what it is. I don't know whether we've tapped
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: into it. I don't know.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: We have made masculinity, or at least society has tried
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: to make masculinity, a bad thing. There are things about
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: being a dude that they say are bad. One example,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: this is a crappy example, but I'm going to use
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: this example, is like a girl who will wear almost
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: no clothes will walk outside into the street and complain
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: about anybody that looks at her. Part of you is like,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: If you're going to wear almost no clothing, you should
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: probably expect to have some people.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Well, even if you wear a lot of clothing, I'm
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: going to look at you. I'm a guy. I'm like
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a hetero guy. So I'm a one gender guy. Yes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: But that's one of many things that I think that
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: they've started to vilify and just general like even in
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: in conversation. There is a version of confrontational conversation that
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I think is beneficial, especially professionally, because you're just not
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: you're not trying to tippy toe around the topic. What's that?
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: The vote. We gave them the vote. We gave them
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the vote. And after that, look, some people are afraid
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: to say these things, right? I'm not because what do
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I care? I know who's going to hurt me at
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Genuinely. Okay, go ahead.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: But it's true. Yeah. We have lost control of this narrative.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying we need to have control, right?
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: But just historically we did. And I think we are
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: beaten down now in ways that, and I'm not going
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: to do an anti-woman thing today. I'm really not. I
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: really was joking, ladies. But, well, I wasn't really joking.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Sort of joking.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I wanted to add to what you said, though.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, go ahead.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Because a lot of people have also commented that having
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: as many women in the workplace now as before changed
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: our society. I'm not saying that women shouldn't work, but
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: there was a time period where only half of the
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: country would be expected to go make a living. And
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: the other half of the country would live at home.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: And that might have made things different in the world of, say,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: a house has two people in it. You don't have
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: a single woman and a single guy with their own homes.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Now you have a family that has a house together.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: You know, and you also have wages that are a
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: certain number because that person is expected to provide for
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: a whole family.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: We talk about everything on this show.
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: We do.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: We do. I'm not, again, I'm... They gave them the
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: right to vote.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: No, as Wade said, this is mostly tongue-in-cheek. We're absolutely joking.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: There is some.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Truth to it. See, this is what I mean. We've
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: gotten soft.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: There's some truth to it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: You feel the need to sort of explain.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: I did feel the need to do that.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: All right, fine.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Then we're totally serious. Women shouldn't be allowed to vote
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: or work.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: That's what Wayne's saying on the show. I'm not saying that.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Quote me. Quote me. Book it, Dano.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Got a new bumper sticker. Quick break. A lot coming up.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: We might talk about actual news, which we don't have to,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: but we might.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Ken Paxton campaign.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Let's do that. Let's talk about Kempaxin.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: What's up with you?
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Quick break. A lot more KSEV mornings,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: 700 a.m., The Voice of Tech.
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: After a hard rain, you can see them. The water
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: stains on the ceiling are the dripping water from a
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: recessed light. Now you start to get nervous because you
• 27:50
  Speaker 11: know leaks can cause big problems.
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: Once the water enters the structure, the trouble starts. Water
• 27:55
  Speaker 12: weakens rafters and beams over time. It soaks through drywall
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: and damages the insulation in your home.
• 28:02
  Speaker 11: And Roland, don't forget about mold. It grows fast in
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: our humidity and causes all kinds of health problems.
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: I'd really hate to see you spend thousands on expensive
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: structural or drywall repairs or mold removal projects, especially when
• 28:15

  Speaker 14: high of 91. With the KSCV Weather Center forecast, I'm
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: AccuWeather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: KSEV Morning. He's Wayne Dolcevino. I am Craig Collins. We
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: are your hosts every single day, Monday through Friday, right
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: here on The Voice of Texas. Off air, we were
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: talking about some of the recent ad campaigns that have
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: been going on for both, of course, Ken Paxton and
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: also Tallarico. And you were saying something pretty interesting about
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: one of those two ads, Wayne. Do you want to
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: tell the audience what it was?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was watching TV last night, watching Astros win.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: But I was watching the grandfather ad, the Tallarico ad
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: with his grandpa, who was, of course, a Baptist preacher.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I should wish my grandfather had been a Baptist preacher.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I'd run for office with that. But grandpa was a
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Baptist preacher. Grandpa seemed like a totally normal Baptist preacher guy,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: and they were hanging out in the rocking chairs on
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the porch. And I watched it, and I said, you
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: know what? Tallarico doesn't seem like a freak in that.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: In that one spot. So let's play the spot, and
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: then we'll discuss it, because I do think that's an
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: interesting take.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: Here we go.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: This is my papa. And Jimmy is my grandson. As
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: a Baptist preacher in South Texas, he taught me to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: follow the two great commandments.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Love God.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: And love your neighbor.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I've tried to follow those teachings.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: First as a public school teacher.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: And now as a Texas lawmaker.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Providing relief to those struggling to afford their health care,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: their housing, their groceries.
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: That's loving your neighbor.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I'm James Tallarico, and I approve this message.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Amen. You're never going to make it in Hollywood.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: So there you go. That's the ad.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Great ad. Okay. I think it's a great ad.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I don't hate the concept of the ad.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I think it calms some people down.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I think it does.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Because the problem with a lot of descriptions... Look, I
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: will be the first to agree that the Democrats are insane. Right.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: That they're nuts. They have nutty ideas.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: And Tallarico specifically.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Right. And Tallarico is just a freak. I'm sorry. I
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: just get a vibe. I get a bad.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: He's a crazy person.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: And... The neighbors with uterus thing, I mention it all
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the time because I like saying neighbors with uteruses. And
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: also because I just think it's the weirdest thing.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: It's very odd.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: The six-gender thing. And maybe there are six. Who the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: hell knows? I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I think there's like two.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what the other four are. I
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: don't want to know. Have you ever heard it described?
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I don't want to know.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I don't want to know either. No, I have sort
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: of want to know. I don't know what. No, I
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: want to know what he thinks the other four are.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I'll Google that for you. What are the other six?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: What are the other?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: What are the other four of the other of the six?
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: We know what man is. Right. We know what a
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: woman is.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Most of us do. Right. At least most sane people do.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: All right, I got them.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: What are they?
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Well, this is according to Google. I don't know if
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: this is Tallarico's opinion. Androgynous people.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Which are people who just want to lay around like
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: a noodle.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I guess so. And then the people who are both
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: male and female is the description. A saris people is
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: a male who does not develop.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: A lot of people.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Actually, I think this is, it's saris, S-A-R-I-S, saris people.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think this is the right list because this
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: is actually people with medical conditions.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: But I just found out people with various illnesses.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: This is a guy who doesn't develop a characteristic.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Don't you think you should be able to Google that
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: pretty easily? Yeah, I think you could. On the Tallarico
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: team page, there should be, well, there are six. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: here they are. I mean, like, defend it. Right. If
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: you say there are six genders, then a logical follow-up
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: question from saying... viewers and listeners would be, Hey, what
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: are the other four dude? Cause I know there are
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: two and I have yet to see the four.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: So I, according to the New York post, what, this
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: is what Tallarico is couching it in. He says that it's, uh,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: the different X, Y chromosome, um, variations that can exist
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: within people. And there was a 2021 legislative debate about this.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I, I, So there's not like a name.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: It's just like a chromosome.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Well, what's funny about that is when he goes out
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: and says there's six genders, he makes all the transgender
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: people happy. But he's couching it, I guess, in this,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: where it's XX, XY, single X, XXY, XYY, and XXXY,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: which are rare variations of chromosomes.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just getting old, but what am I want
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: to be? The XXYYYXX.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: You're a dude. You want to be XY.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Just X, Y.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I am.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, not more X than Y.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Well, here's what I'll say, though, is like when you-
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Because we're.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Going to start fractionalizing this, dude.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: I want to- Well, what's funny about it is when
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: you dive into it like this, the rarity of anything
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: other than X, Y, and XX is off the charts. Like,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: we're talking about. 0001 % of people who actually fall
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: into the description of some sort of chromosome anomaly. And yet,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Tallarico knows when he says there's six genders that he's
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: placating- millions of people that are hardcore left that think
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: that they can decide what their gender is, that it's
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: not a medical thing.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Can you look at someone? Can you look at someone?
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Like when I walked in this morning, did you say
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to yourself, wow, that's definitely a nice white guy? Or
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: do you ever look at someone on the street, like
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: when you meet somebody, and you go, oh, that guy's
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: got some Y in him. Or he's got a couple
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: of X's.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: My favorite one is occasionally when somebody walks past us,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: and it's like a dude that's dressed up like a girl.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: And I.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: tap my wife. And I'm like, that's a guy. And
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: she doesn't always think it's true, but I, I, I'm
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: pretty sure I have a good radar.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I had a good friend once speaking of inappropriate stories. Sure.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Let's do it.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Friend once that was like hitting on some, what we
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: thought was a woman, but I didn't think I, I
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: sort of saw her and I said, that's a, that's
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: a dude. And, And he was like, he was Mr.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Mac Daddy, friend of mine, whatever. Sure. And all of
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: a sudden, I even said, hey.
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: Bud.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Bud, I think that's a dude. I think that's a dude.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: And 10 minutes later, he's like making out with this
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: dude guy. And I never looked at him the same. Right.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: He ended up getting killed, sadly.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: By his girlfriend, by his crazy girlfriend.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Shot him and then shot himself.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe he should have stayed with the dude guy.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: But it was like, what?
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's horrible.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: But that's the worst story in the world. Yeah, well. Okay,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: but back to something more important. Hold on.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: I didn't know how to respond.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Back to something more important. Let's go, let's go. Okay.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, I'm over the X, Y thing. I
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: want to go back to Tallarico and Paxton. Sure.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Because I can play the Paxton ad, the newest Paxton ad.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: That's what I want to do.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: But this is not the one you asked me to
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: play off the air, so this might be better. Because
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I don't think either of us have heard this yet.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: This is a brand new ad that got launched yesterday.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: But you were saying before I hit play on this
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: that sometimes when you see a video of Paxton speaking,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: he's not as fluid. He's not as affluent. He's not
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: succeeding the way that Tallarico does.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: He just seems like I am when I come here
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: this morning. You know, whatever. I don't really care. He
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't really care. It just didn't seem like he really, like,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: say what you want about Paxton, right? I actually, first
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: of all, he's not the most corrupt person in America.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Cheating on his wife.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I get it. But it's a ridiculous thing. Right. Ethically challenged,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I think, is fair. Because I think sometimes he's done things.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I get it. Look, I was acquitted, too.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Hey, look at you.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Whatever. But I do think that he had some, I
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: think his business dealings with people that were his supposed friends.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Whether or not it's a crime or not, it's just
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: kind of not a good business.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: But hold on, because the point is, and you were
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: going to say this, that that Paxton is incredibly effective
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: at getting things done.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: When you think about policies and lawsuits, he's filed to
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: protect Texas and to fight for Trump. and all those things,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: you go, this guy is the rock star of conservatives.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Well, and what's funny to me is that people like
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton do struggle to win elections when they should
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: be the obvious choice, because Tallarico might sound better, but
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Tallarico is not going to perform well in the job.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Look at Mamdami right now in New York, a guy
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: that seemed to capture a lot of attention with the
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: crazy things he said and the way that he carried himself.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: And now they're falling to pieces there, and a lot
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: of their policies are breaking in. in, you know, too,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: because they were terrible ideas. And he's ill-equipped to actually
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: run a city. Tallarico would be or excuse me, Paxton
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: would be great. And Tallarico would be terrible at the
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: job of senator.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: And that should be the most important aspect that we
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: shouldn't talk about how much better of a speaker. We
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: should talk about the horrible things he'd want to do
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: if he were given more power in our state.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: And I wasn't even talking so much speaking. I was
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: talking like hanging out with Baptist grandpa on the on
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: the porch was an effective way to counter. the weird
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: stuff the guy does.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I would tell you that even in that ad, when
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: I watched it, I don't see a very comfortable Tallarico.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I see a very comfortable grandfather, but I don't, and
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: maybe it's just a bias. I can admit that that
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: could be the case, but when I see it, I
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: see a tighter guy. I see a guy that's like
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: cheering the beer and then putting it down and probably
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: not actually sipping it. Like I don't see a guy
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: that I'd want to be. And part of the thing for,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: I think more guys than women is, is you sort
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: of want to vote for people that you'd want to
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: emulate in some way. Like my favorite athletes.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Or hang out with.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hang out with. My favorite athletes are all people
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: that I wish I could have been. I wish I
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: could have lived the life of a Derek Jeter. That
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: would have been amazing.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: I would love to hang out with Tallarico, though. You
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: know why? Yeah. Because I would question him. And I would.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I would beat him up. Sure. Well, that– That would
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: be fun for me.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: That's different than hanging out. I think that would.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Be– Well, that's hanging out for me. That's all I
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: do is I question people. Well, here– That's kind of
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: hanging out.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: I want to play it, though, before we take the
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: break because I know we've got a break coming up.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I want to play the Paxton ad just because– Do it. Well,
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: this is brand new to both of us.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: Google secretly tracked your location, captured your face, your voice,
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: no permission, no warning, and Paxton fought back and made
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: Google pay $ 1.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: 4 billion, the.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: Largest privacy settlement any state has ever won. Toxic dyes
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: and cereal marketed to our kids. Paxton took on the
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: big food companies and stopped it. Now he's fighting to
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: get toxic chemicals out of products women use every day.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: Ken Paxton. When they come after Texans, he comes after them.
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: Moonstar Liberty Pack is responsible for the content of this ad.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't really get the first part, but whatever.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Google, the lawsuit that just recently wound up getting a
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: whole crap ton of money to people that their information
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: was stolen by Google.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, like I said, that's a good ad. I
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: thought the first ad about this is in Texas was
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: a great ad. Sure. Right, it was a great ad.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm not criticizing the ads. He doesn't have any money,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: so he's spending what he's got.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a super pack.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: But when I see him actually interviewed.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Right, I know. Well, but what I was going to
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: point out about this brand new Paxson ad is. is
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: it's leaning into the effectiveness of him as a political person.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Which is what I thought his campaign should be about, right?
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Even more so than criticizing Tallarico, which still needs to happen.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Like, he just got a settlement with Texas Children's. And
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I know about this because my son was involved in it,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: working for the office, right? It's got this huge settlement
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: because Texas Children was scamming Medicaid by falsifying what they
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: were doing with gender mutilation stuff. Sure. They just changed
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: the name of it. Sure. We're not doing that. It's
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: something else, right? Yeah. They busted them, right?
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: And they've made them promise to not do that anymore, right? Yes.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: That is a great result and a way to come
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: up with another way to still argue the same cultural thing.
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: You're right. That Ken Paxton, and maybe Ken Paxton shouldn't
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: voice his own things. Maybe he should never talk. Because
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: when I heard him talk about him needing money, Ken Paxton,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: I just go like, dude, can you act like you
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: really want to fight this?
• 43:20
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether that's personality, because on paper, you
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: see what he's done. Dude's a rock star for conservatives.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: He's got the DeSantis problem. Governor Ron DeSantis, I think
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: his biggest problem out of Florida, not just that he
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: was running against Trump, was that he was bad at
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: the handshake. He was bad at the interaction, the way
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: that other people are good at it. Paxton does have
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: that problem, but Texans shouldn't care. You know that.
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: I know that.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Texans should only care about the job that he would
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: do in that role, and he would crush it. He
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: would do an incredibly good job.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: All right, so I think we should give out the
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: phone number.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: All right, let's do it. That phone number is 281-558-5738.
• 44:00
  Speaker 11: 281-558-5738.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: We're talking about Ken Paxson. We're talking about James Tallarico.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Tallarico's grandfather hates him, by the way.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: He hates him. It looks like it.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: I think he does.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: You could tell he was disgusting.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: He got paid to be there. I bet you that
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: was it.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: You think? Maybe.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Quick break. A lot more KSV mornings with Wayne and Craig.

• 44:48
  Speaker 8: is Monica Lewinsky available? Who the hell would sign up

• 45:09
  Speaker 6: the Better Auto Mechanic Bureau, the Better Accountant Bureau. That's
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: because the BBB connects people with businesses they can trust.

  Speaker 6: So think of the BBB as the Better Check That
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: Business Out First So You Don't Get Ripped Off Bureau.

  Speaker 15: Houston Methodist Hospital has been named the best hospital in
• 45:34
  Speaker 15: Texas for patient care and quality for the 15th year
• 45:37
  Speaker 15: in a row by U.S.
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: News and World Report.
• 45:40
  Speaker 15: We're proud to be a top-ranked hospital in the country,
• 45:43
  Speaker 15: ranked in 11 specialties. For more than 100 years, Houston
• 45:47
  Speaker 15: Methodist has provided our community with the highest quality care.
• 45:51
  Speaker 15: That's the difference between practicing medicine and leading it. Houston Methodist.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Leading Medicine.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: All right. Some nice, subtle music for the morning. Is
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: it September 1st?
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I forgot about that. You like calmer music. You want
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: some jazz.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I wouldn't say like calmer.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: A little bit of blues.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, how was ACDC last night?
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: It was great. ACDC did a hell of a show.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: You're not a big rock guy or just ACDC?
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big ACDC guy. I like rock. I'm
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: a 70s guy.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: Well, Angus Young did like a 10-minute just guitar solo
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: before they came back for their encore, and that was amazing.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: There's things that are– it's pretty– and I know he's 71,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Brian's 78, and yet they're dancing around and jumping around
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: like when they were in their 30s or something.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I don't dance around anymore.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: It's incredible to watch. So I had a great time.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: My wife had a great time. It did go late.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: I think they played 22 songs.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: So what time did you get up?
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: Like 11, 11.30.
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, that's late.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: I made a steak last night.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: On my grill. I made a little steak at 10 o'clock.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: I eat it, like, late. Good. That's fine. You know why?
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Because then my blood sugar goes up and I just
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: pass out. It's sort of like a medically induced coma.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: By the way, you asked me to go to a
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: different place to track the actual hurricane, which we can
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: do on the air for people now. The hurricane is
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: moving at eight miles per hour and is creating wind
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: speeds of 40 miles per hour. But it is not
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: yet in Houston. It is still off the coast in
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: the Gulf of America. So we'll see.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: They say it may increase the near hurricane strength.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Sounds like it could.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: So it actually, you know, of course, it's going to
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: be to the, like in Beaumont, more like, right, like
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Hurricane Rita did. You know, I remember Hurricane Rita after
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Hurricane Katrina. I have so many hurricane stories. Hurricane, I was...
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: They sent us to Galveston, right? And we were all
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: at the San Luis.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Right? Tillman's Place. And we were all drinking martinis at
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: the bar. Sure. Right? Getting ready for the storm. And
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: then the station called me and said, look, the storm
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: is going to be heading more toward the border. And
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: so we need you to leave the San Luis Hotel
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: bar and go to Beaumont and Port Arthur. No offense.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: No offense. To Beaumont and Port Arthur. But in the
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: scale of life, that is like, that sucks.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: It's like, why? I have to leave the bar. And
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: if you remember, Hurricane Rita was that storm where everyone
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: was stuck in traffic. Right? And people died. Like, a
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: lot of people died in traffic. In fact, I passed
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: by some little town, and there was a dead lady, like,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: in the car. And the cops were all there. Wow.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: It took us literally like seven hours to drive to Beaumont.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: And we stayed at the– what's the hotel? Oh, the
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Hotel Elegante. Okay.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: It sounds very elegant.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: It was back in the day. Not so much now. Okay.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: And when we got there the hotel was full of
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Katrina because that was still all the evacuees from Katrina
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: were there. Wow. Look, I'm sure there were very nice people,
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: but the smell of weed in the air and people
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: just sitting outside their hotel rooms, right? All the Katrina,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: you know, the pupils. You know, the luxury people from
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: New Orleans. They're all in the hotel. And the place
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: was a mess. And I was stuck there literally for
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: four days. Wow. Covering that storm. The other thing I
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: did was I took a pill and I went to
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: bed because I thought the storm was over. And then
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: there was a tornado that hit the hotel. And I remember...
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: staggering through broken glass and stuff. Wow. In the lobby
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: of that hotel.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Gotcha. Did you go on television after the pill?
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: I was on television. No, I didn't. I was asleep.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: I went to sleep.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know when the hurricane hit, they're like, wait, put.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: The TV back on. I'm trying to get me to confess.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: I've already confessed to like four crimes this morning. So
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: I want to finish up with Paxton. Go ahead. Because
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I'd like to know What's going on? I want to
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: see a fighter. I want to see him every day
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: out there talking about what he's done for me. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I just don't know what's going on.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: I'll say this, and I don't mean this specifically about
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton, but I mean this about other people I've
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: known in my life who are fighters. Sometimes they're better
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: at fighting than talking. Like, they just are. They're just
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: not great. I know this about a lot of veterans, too.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: Whenever I talk to them is that these are people
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: that have amazing stories that they're not always great at
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: sharing because that's not the part that mattered to them.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: And I think with Paxton, this is the part of
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: politics that he sort of hates sometimes. And you can
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: kind of feel it, that he hates the asking for
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: money and running for an office. He doesn't like that part.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: He only likes the part about doing the job. And
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: I like people like that. I think people like that
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: deserve more opportunities in politics because our political system would
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: be better off if we didn't have the people who
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: are great at speaking but terrible at the job or
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: going to do their own, you know, they're going to
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: convince you of one thing and do something else.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we do like stick.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: We do. As a society, we like schtick. That's true.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: But that's not good in Washington. That schtick has not
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: been helping us, that people like that seem to win
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: more races than people like Paxton. Like, seriously, right now,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: the amount of topics where Paxton is crushing Tallarico when
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: you talk about the average Texan and what they want
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: in the future, it's through the roof. And that's part
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: of the reason that I think his campaign is so
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: tempted to just trash Tallarico all the time is that
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: you have so many opportunities— to do it. But the
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: reality is that what I actually want is someone who's
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: going to be good at this job. Someone who's not
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: necessarily going to be compromised. And Tallarico is someone that
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: screams to me that he would also be compromised by
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: whatever the Democrats want to do. I don't know that
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: any of his positions... would actually be things he would
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: believe in strongly. Not that I like his positions on stuff,
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: but he seems like the kind of guy that would
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: immediately go with whatever he was told to do. And
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Paxton's not that guy at all.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: But I get a different vibe, in a way, from
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: all these Democrats, these socialists, these freaks, these mutants, whatever
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: they are. I get this vibe that they're lying now,
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: and that when they're in office, they are going to
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: be exactly what they are. People don't fundamentally change their
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: views in three years or four years. They just don't.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: You may say, yeah, maybe I was a little bit
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: harsh or a little bit rough and maybe I sort
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: of moderated my position because, you know, I got to
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: talk to the transgender truckers and they've convinced me that they,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: you know, there's thousands of them or whatever. Right. I
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: don't know, but I just... Those people don't believe in
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: anything that I believe in. Yeah. And, in fact, what
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: they believe in is exactly the opposite of what I
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: believe in. And I think they want to destroy the
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: country as it is. And so when I hear them
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: now say, well, maybe I didn't mean that all the
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Jews should, you know, walk into the chamber. You know
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: what I mean? I just think.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: It's like the dude up in Michigan. I can't, I
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: never say his name right. I don't like his name. Sorry.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: That's okay. I don't care.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: I don't care about it. I'm not at all offended.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I don't believe him. I don't believe me. And now
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: he says, well, maybe I overspoke on the Jew thing. No,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: you don't like them. We get it. You don't like us.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: I agree with you on that, that I think the
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: most radical positions that they share are things they actually believe.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: And they would love to govern based on those.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: I'll leave you with this. James Tallarico sees his neighbor
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: and says... She's got a uterus. Think about it. That's
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: what he actually thinks. Neighbor with a uterus.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't call her a woman.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Look at that lovely woman, good-looking woman.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Look at that lovely uterus walking around.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: That's it. All right, quick break. We've got another hour
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: coming up. KSEV Mornings, Wayne DelGiovino, Craig Collins. Thrilled to
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: be with you guys. 700 AM, The Voice of Texas.
