• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Wayne Dolcefino. We are your morning show hosts today. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: every day. Actually, I keep calling, when you're not here, Wayne,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: myself a fill-in host. I don't know why I'm doing that.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Why are you doing that?
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You're like the main dude.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I'm just like here just to provide some color.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I'm so used to doing it other places, especially in mornings.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: I think twice last week, I was like, Craig Collins
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: filling in. Really? Yeah, sure. But we'll figure it out.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't even listen to the show.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: That's nice of you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: First of all, I was in California, so it was
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: like 12 hours earlier. Right. And I just I saw
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the all gender bathrooms and I said, you know what?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: This is where I want to be.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I'm somewhere else.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I got to lock in here.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Off the air. You were just saying to me a
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: second ago that you thought it's pretty amazing that a
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: lot of people still buy the message from Democrats that
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: they're going to fix stuff because they've been promising that
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: for a long time and they've never delivered.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And that's what I find so incredibly interesting about this
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: whole socialism thing, because it's not like there's this. There's
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: this great body of evidence that it just doesn't work. Sure.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Capitalism has its issues, right? Greed is one of the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: things to me.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Probably one of the bigger problems.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Inequality is a real thing. And I think if we
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: don't address it and we don't say, look, I think
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: one of the best things we could do, and this
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is going to sound very not Republican to say, is
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: that we figure out some wealth tax.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Huh. Okay. Yeah, no, it's fine. It's fine.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I don't believe– look, I don't want to pay for
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: any of this government stuff. I think it's all waste.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I get it. And sure, these people contributing jobs and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the economy and donations, I get it. But I think psychologically,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: this country– does feel like a lot of people just
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: don't think it's fair.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: So many people are just so rich.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: So the 0.1% version of the conversation, I think that's
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: something that often lands from Bernie Sanders and the Democratic
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: socialists for people that are not part of the absolutely
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: smallest minority of wealthy individuals. However, when we talk about that,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know what solution makes sense because I don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: think money funneled to the government gets back to people.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: And so you have to find a way to encourage
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: organizations to give people more money or you have to
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: make people tough enough to demand more money. It's got
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: to be an either or because there are a lot
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: of people. I know a lot of people who get
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: a new job and don't negotiate the salary at all.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: They don't ask for anything more. They take whatever they're given.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: And if you live that life all the time, you
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: allow yourself to be taken advantage of. It's not the
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: only solution. But in the world of capitalism, I find
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a lot of people don't fight back well enough individually
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to get more, to get more of what they individually
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: might deserve.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what gives those people, those people, the sort of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: power of persuasion is that we can look and see
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That's successful people, right? Some of them are like stupid,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: stupid rich.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: And I think the jealousy, the envy, the whatever you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: call it, is becoming a thing. And that even psychologically,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: if you said, look, if you make over $ 100 million
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: in real money, right, then you should pay a surcharge
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: or whatever.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I just don't know how many people would be affected
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: by it, and I think it would make people feel better.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Because I think people rightfully believe, because you mentioned Trump,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know, and I just pay what I have to pay, right?
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I get it. But the tax system is not fair.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm more of a flat tax guy. I don't know
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: if it works economically. I don't care. I think everyone
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: should pay something, right?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: And everybody pays 5%. 3%, whatever it is, and it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: would work out.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I actually would prefer tariffs, to be honest.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: You like tariffs.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I know this is going to get crazy. I would
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: prefer tariffs to taxes at all. There was a time
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: in society, there was a time in the world, where
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: a majority of governments made money off of tariffs and
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: not from just taking money from the people who live there.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: So I would like for our tax system to just
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: go away, meaning none of us pay taxes anymore, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: that the only thing that replaces it is an extension
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: extreme amount of tariffs that allow people to get into
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: our economy to sell goods to us. And people want
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the United States economy. They want to be able. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I also think that if you create a tariff wall
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: around the country, you need to create enough things here
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: in the country so that people can buy things cheaper,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: that the companies themselves can create cheaper. But I think
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: that the whole system itself works together effectively. And I
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: think that that's part of the plan of what Trump
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: was trying to do, but it just wasn't allowed. It
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: didn't work the way you wanted it because you need
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: an amount of production to happen here so that American-made
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: everything is available in every store.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And we got away from that for so long.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And we stopped doing it. Right.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And now we can't.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we can't. Look, I think what he's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: trying to do is breathe life back into manufacturing.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And I think through tariffs— And the media, as I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: often criticize them, from the very beginning didn't like the tariffs, right?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Other countries have screwed us over.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Forever.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Forever. Like, apparently this Canadian deal fell apart in part
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: because the Canadians wanted to be able to sell more
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: cars in Michigan.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Or in the country. And we said, no. Because... These
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: countries have all used tariffs to.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Do exactly what you suggest. They use every.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And we didn't because we just want to be liked.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I just want you to like me.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: We were weak. We were weak and in power. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: now we don't care.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: People like me.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Our weakness propped up China. It allowed China to become
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: what it is. Our lack of a need to force
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the rest of the world to buy into our system.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And now people will pay less and they get crap. Yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I know. It's crap.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of crap out there.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: No, it's not like blanket everything is crap.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: There's a lot.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of it's crap.
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: There is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of crap.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: But we're paying for it because it was only like $ 1.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: 50.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Hey, it was on sale.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: You know what's funny about that? Right now, I want
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: to upgrade the entertainment system in my car. And I
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: went on Amazon to look for like new entertainment systems
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: that fit my car. China sells ones for like $ 200.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: And I can get a brand new entertainment system in
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: my car. That can't possibly work for very long.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It'll work for like a week.
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: And it'll break.
• 7:48
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You get toys. You ever get toys for Christmas? Sure.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I remember putting together some like Batman sliders thing for
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: my son. It was like just a piece of crap. Right.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And I'm going, I just spent $ 85 on a bunch
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of plastic crap that doesn't even work.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And then you put it together. Actually, I didn't finish
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: putting it together. I told my son that Santa was
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: in a rush and he put some of it together
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and then had to go Yeah. To give someone else
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a gift.
• 8:15
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: But we like cheap stuff.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: We do. We do. And we can make cheap stuff here.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: We just have to make it again.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: How many people you know that buy American on purpose?
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I know some. I do know some people that buy American,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: mostly cars, but everything they can. American on purpose.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But it's more expensive.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess right now it probably is. It's certainly
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: not the cheapest road to go. I don't know if
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: it's the most expensive road to go either, but it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: not the cheapest.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they could be a sponsor of this show.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I have no idea who sponsors, if
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: anyone does.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we have a lot of individual
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: sponsors right now.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And I think we should ask for that. Look, I've
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: agreed to hang out with you, right?
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Sometime in the morning.
• 8:58
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: A couple times a week at least.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Anyone that wants to be associated with us should buy time.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: They should.
• 9:06
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: That'd be great.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So somebody can make some money.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: That'd be great.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I've been doing this for fun.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: And we would like to improve some things here, too.
• 9:15
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: And we need some more money to do that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: We need a new microphone.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Well, we need a stronger signal, too, man. We need
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: some money.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I've got to tell you. You know, here's my other problem,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: speaking of signals. I like to listen to AM790 for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the games.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Never heard of it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: No, it's a real thing. I watch the games. When
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I drive from Houston to Austin.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: By the time I get to, like, LaGrange, I lose
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the signal. I can't figure out who else has Astros baseball.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: That's probably somewhere. These are things that really matter. This
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: is the kind of stuff that matters to me.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: You want to know who the Austin Astros radio affiliate is? Yeah.

  Speaker 2: What is he, like a conservative dude?
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's squishy like you.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: He's conservative and squishy. I am not squishy.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: You've described yourself as squishy.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I know, but look, I'm actually worse. I'm actually
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: more fundamentalist. Thin people. I've already said I don't care
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: about the homeless.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: That's true. You did say that. We got two people
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: on the line.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Who are they?
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Let's get to Mark first. Mark wants to talk about
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the Senate race. Mark, what do you want to say?
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, guys. Thanks for being there. I've got
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: a way of framing this Senate race in Texas. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: doubt if you've ever heard. That's probably because it's from me.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: So I frame this this way. It's the Satanist versus
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: the sinner race.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I like that. I'm fine. Do you like the Satanist
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: versus the centerweight? He's shaking his head.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: He is weird as crap, that guy. I'm sorry. Tallarico
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just gives me a bad vibe.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's probably going to hell.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You ever meet a guy, Mark, that just gives you
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a bad vibe? I do. I mean, it's going like,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: what is wrong with you? The neighbors with the uterus
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: thing is still, to me, a deal killer. Yes.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Anything else?
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Well, it's so easy to go after Paxton for his
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: past discretion, but in fact, in reality, we could all
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: have people going after us for our past discretion. In
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Tallarico's case, this guy is boldly saying stuff that's just
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: antithetical to Christianity, period. And who was the.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: I don't remember who said this. I think I do,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: but I'll let y'all tell me because you're smarter than me.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Who was the one that said Satan is the father
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: of All lies.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Who said that?
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Satan is the father of all lies?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Who said that?
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Wait, do you mean just like the Bible verse?
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: It could be. It's in the gospel of John, if
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: what you're asking for.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you. But I didn't know if he meant
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: like someone else quoted the gospel of John and he
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: heard it somewhere else. Is that what you meant? Did
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I give you the right answer?
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: No.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you did. That was something that I don't remember, frankly.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: I remember the phrase, I don't remember it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: 844.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: I'm going to leave you with this. In our world,
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: we're watching, literally in real time, the war between.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Good and evil.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree with you.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Good is all of us that are trying to be
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: part of, now listen, I'm going to say this, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I mean it this way, part of the living body
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: of Christ. That's us that are out here. We know
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: we sin. We try not to. We make mistakes. We
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: humble ourselves. We try to get forgiveness for that and
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: move forward doing the right thing with others.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I really appreciate it.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Well, hang on. The others, and you're going to see
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: this when you hear it, are part of the body
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: of Satan. They destroy things. They lie about things. They
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: hurt people. They want to destroy you, the country, and
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: everything they can. They don't build anything that's positive or true.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: You can't unsee that once you recognize it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: And Mr.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Collins, do you have any family in Kentucky?
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: I don't have any family in Kentucky, no.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Okay, because my grand... Father's name was Colin, believe it
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: or not.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're cousins. Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: If he's an Italian, I probably know.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: We're cousins. Did you know any Dolce Finos in Kentucky?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think there are any.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: There could be a few.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, really?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: There are no. This is my son.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Mark, for calling in.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Mark. My son and me and my grandchildren.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: There's only a few Dolce Finos. There's not even a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Dolce Fino in Italy anymore. Oh, wow.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: There's still— There's no Dolce Finos. There's still family members
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: of mine that are in Italy.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: It's a good thing my son is having babies. There
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: you go. Because the Dolce Fino name.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Will— By the way, the interesting thing about Mark's call,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: he's quoting a part of the Bible where Jesus is
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: upset with the religious leaders and saying to them that,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: you know, they're creating the lies that everybody's following— And
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of us feel that way about
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: politicians now, that they do create these lies and a
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: lot of people follow them. But I could see you,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I wanted to say this on the air, as he
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: was calling the left Satanists, to some extent. I don't
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: think that's exactly the words he chose. I can see
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: you feeling like we need to soften that message.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not about softening.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Finding a different way to say it.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Do I think there are some Democrats who really believe
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: that we could do more for people? Yeah, I do.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I do think there are some that do.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: There's a well-intentioned Democrat.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I think there are some, though. And I talk about
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the guy in Michigan, Saeed, whatever his name is. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: don't even share what his name is. I think that
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: guy just hates Jews.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I think he hates a lot of people.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: And I think– and it's why I really resent when
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: someone says I'm an Islamophobic, right? Look, I– All I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: know is that there's a bunch of people over there
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: that want to kill me.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Would be fine with burning my family up.
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's I don't have any like I don't care that
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: they have another religion.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: You know, right. Religions, you know, we split like with
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: everything else. Fine. Right.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: But when your religion is based on killing the infidels.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's bad.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I've got a problem with that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: From the river to the sea is bad. It's a
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: bad thought.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. And that doesn't make me like an Islamophobe.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: It makes me like a person who's got a brain.
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Who doesn't want to see mass killing in the name
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: of religion.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Every day you were on the radio before I got here,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: you did a show an hour before and said, I
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: want to kill Wayne for an hour.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: That would be bad.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: When I got on here, I would say.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Dude, let's go.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Bring it on, baby.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I do not want to kill you. No, but that's— No,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: I get it. I get what you're saying. I do
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: want to say this, though, in response to the idea
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: that there are some well-intentioned Democrats, because I find that
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: people who fit that description for me are people who
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: haven't been given enough power yet. And my best example
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: is AOC. AOC, when she first got elected, and I'm
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: from the East Coast, so I paid a little more
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: attention to that race at the beginning than I needed to.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I thought of her as an idiot. I thought of
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: her as the kind of person— Well, you were right. Well,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: And she is. But I thought of her as the
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: kind of person who was probably well-intentioned, who thought certain
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: things could happen that can't happen.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: The Green New Deal.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Fly in the sky. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Like, tell cows to fart less. Like, that version of
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: a person is just dumb.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I think they should. Probably. Fart less.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: The person that exists now that's AOC seems much more
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: corrupt and much more tied to the political and power
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: structure that she's become a part of than just the morons.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: So every time I see a well-intentioned Democrat– and a
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: John Fetterman is an example that comes to mind now–
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: I think of myself as someone who– he's probably on
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: the periphery. He's pushed on the outside of all the
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: power structures, and so he's not corrupted. But if they
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: actually let him in the door and benefited him enough–
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe he would be corrupted because I don't know.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I could be corrupted. I could be corrupted.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I could be corrupted. That's why I do this.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I would like to be corrupted. I used to always
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: complain that no one ever offered me money.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: What amount of money corrupts you? Do you mind saying that?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: 20 bucks? Come on.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: 25?
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Let's be honest about this. What amount of money could
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: corrupt you? A million? Five million?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm 69, and so a million would go a
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: long way in getting me to the top. getting me
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: to the promised land.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: I think a million could corrupt me a decent amount.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it corrupt me all the way
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: because a million runs out eventually, right? Like you're only
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: corrupt until the next million.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Corruption's a hard thing because, you know, I try
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to look at things like, look, I think when you're corrupting,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: when you're corrupt with other people's money, like I don't
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: care about scamming the government. Right. I'm fine with that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Let's scam them away.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Let's get some, let's get some of that COVID money. Right. I,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you know, they still talk about that ERC money. I
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: don't even know what it is. I was supposed to
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: get like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I never got a penny. Oh, wow. They're still talking
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: about it. There's still work. I got a thing every day.
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I got a thing every day saying, well, we're still the,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: the IRS audited one of our quarters from three years
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: ago to make sure that we actually employed people, lost
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: money and employed people. Yeah. And they're still looking at it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't take that long. Let's get Sharon on
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: the phone before we get to break. Sharon, what do
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: you want to say? Sharon, are you there? Hello.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Can you hear me?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we got you.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, good, good.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: While you guys are jabbering, I'm reading John 8 that
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Mark referred to. And people should go back and read
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: that because they talk about Jesus being kind and gentle
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: and not offending people. No, no, Jesus would stand up
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: when they accused him. And what the scenario was that
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: they had accused him of being of illegitimate birth and
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: of having demons. And these were the religious leaders of
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: the day. And so he stood up to them and
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: he spoke right back to them. And this is reminding me.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: In fact, he said, you are of the father, your father,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: the devil, and the desires of your father you want
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: to do. But because I tell the truth, you do
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: not believe me. And he who is of God hears
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: God's words, but therefore you don't hear because you're not
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: of God. So anyway, he stood up like he was
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: in a courtroom and really defended the truth, which is
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: back to what I wanted to talk about, what Craig
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: did last week. It was a landmark event.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Sharon.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Because there are certain people who, and I won't call
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: his name, but everybody knows who he is.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: No, his name's John. She's talking about the caller, John.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: She didn't want to give him that. Go ahead. Continue, Sharon.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: So I just, he will call in in talking circles
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: and talking lies. And you called him out. Craig called
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: him out on it. And he said, when he called
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: in again to just to spatter more lies around and
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: cloud up the airways, which Everybody who's a regular listener here,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: we get sick of it. We just turn to another
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: station when.
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: That guy would call.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: But Craig called him out, and he said, look, you
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: need to admit that what you spoke the last time
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: you called was not true. And he would not admit it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: And so Craig called it out, and he said, look,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: you are not going to be allowed to call this station.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: I did say that. Yeah, that's very kind of you.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Well, what did John say that was such a lie?
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I can tell you. So John called in a couple
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: times last week. The first time he asked me what
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: had changed in Iran that had caused President Trump's fight
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: in Iran to make sense. And he meant even before
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: the strikes in 2025.
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: So before that. And I told him that Iran had
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: gotten closer to a nuclear weapon. And he said that
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: wasn't true. And so the thing that he used to
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: try to qualify his position was the IAEA. Are you
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: familiar with that? The body that actually investigates this stuff.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: And he said that they found no issues with Iran
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: up until the strike in 2025. That's not true.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: That's not true.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: The IAEA on two occasions in 2024 and days before
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Israel strikes and then U.S. strikes said that not only
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: was Iran doing things that they didn't they couldn't see,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: they were circumventing their, you know, ability to. look into
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: everything that Iran was doing, they actually came out and
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: said they were noncompliant. In 2025, two days before Israel strikes,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: the IAEA for the first time in 20 years said
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Iran was noncompliant with being transparent about their.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: A lot of people didn't know that. John seemed like
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: he did, and he lied about it. So John's not
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: allowed back on the air until he admits that that
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: was a lie.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: So is that everyone named John?
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, just that one John. And honestly, if
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: John calls in, we put him on the air, we
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: ask him if he knows that that's true now, and
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: if he says no, we hang up on him.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that right?
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: That's the plan. But if he admits that he was
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: wrong and he lied before, at least he didn't know.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, John, call in. I'd like to hang up on you.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: That would be fun. I haven't hung up on anyone. Ah,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that's great. I have hung up on many people, my
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: staff sometimes. Because I'll call someone, and I'll leave them
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a nasty message.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: You know, like the DA. I sent an email to
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: the DA in Brazos.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: County this weekend.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: It was pretty nasty.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Fair enough.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: It was like, dude, if you don't talk to me,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to come chase you.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: That's what I tell people now. Because it is what
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it is, right?

  Speaker 6: For many years, the Pine Box has been helping families
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: gain insight into the often confusing and extremely expensive task
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: of arranging a loved one's funeral. I have worked with
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Pine Box in the death of two family members because...
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: I know I can trust Chip Beresford at the Pine Box.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: He's the owner.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: To be sure that he walks me through that process
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: and that I am prepared for the funeral and that
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: I get the quality I seek without breaking the budget.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: Because it's a very difficult thing. No one wants to
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: feel like a cheapskate handling a funeral of a loved one.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: But you also can't afford to go broke either. You know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: funerals are statistically the third largest expense in someone's life.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: The Pine Box sells the same caskets and funeral merchandise
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: that is offered at funeral homes, but at a tremendous savings,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: and delivery is immediate and free within the Houston area.

• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Dolcefino back with you because Craig was suffering. I got tired.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: You were going like Friday, you were texting me every
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: five minutes going, please, I can't do this by myself.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: As you said, no pub. When it's just me alone,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: nobody cares.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: No.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: We need the big name.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: No, no. And look, I'm being used. That's fine. I've
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: been used before.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: I want to ride in your coattails as long as
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: I can.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not even about coattails. You were just
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: talking to me when we went to commercial. I wish
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: y'all could have heard it. He said, I'm very funny.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You are. He said, people don't look at you like that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: And I said, because people don't have a sense of humor.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Ah, that's true.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: And my staff used to put quotes that I said
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: on a wall because I would always say, like, you know,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: screw the homeless. Like, what do I care? I'm not homeless.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd feel bad for you. There's like a
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: zillion dollars. Get a home, right? You want some place
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: to stay? There's a thousand places to stay.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very cheap places.
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: So if I see you on the street, I don't
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: buy the theory that, that there are all these women
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: out there with kids sleeping on the street.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I just don't believe it. Well, they're not.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Because they're not. Because they want a home.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, every homeless shelter I've ever interviewed said that
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: any woman and child that show up there immediately get in.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Even if they don't have a bed, they'll figure it out.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: So can we stop the nonsense that, don't you care
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: about the old woman... Who's with her grandchildren on the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: corner of Preston and... No, I don't care. There's a
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: place for them to go.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Most of the people out there are crazy. They are.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Or on drugs.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 31:03
  Speaker 11: Or both.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Or criminals.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And they want to be out there.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't want to be.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: They like to hang out.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: The thing that I always tell my wife about homeless
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: shelters is they have rules. If you go to a
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: homeless shelter, there's rules. You have to follow to stay...
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: And a lot of the people who don't want to
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: be in the homeless shelter don't like the rules.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, I got a great story to tell you. This
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: is weighing context. So years and years ago when I
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: was in TV, I had a producer. His name was
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: David Razik. He went on to work for ABC. He
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: was a good guy. And we got an allegation that
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the star of Hope was stealing the food that was donated.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: so that people wouldn't get it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: So we have this whole theory. So what we did,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: this is the stuff that doesn't work in TV, right?
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: So what we did is decided to donate fillets. So
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: we got a butcher guy and we set him up
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: to where we'd pay for it, but he'd go over
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: to the Star of Hope and donate all these steaks.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: And the other part of our plan was to sneak
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: our guy in there, David Razik, with a hidden camera
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: and have him Stay there. Or you have to sleep overnight.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: You have to stay. So literally, you have to move
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: into the Star Hope as a homeless guy. And what
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: we didn't figure out was the end game, right? So
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: how do we know when the steaks are being served, right?
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Unless you have someone in there eating.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: So we put him in there, and people, crews would
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: see him on the street. at the homeless shelter, coming
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: out of the homeless shelter when they hose everybody down.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: And they were going, what happened to David? I said, man,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: David went off the deep end, man. He's just crazy.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: He's just out there now, yeah.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: We couldn't tell anyone what we were doing, even our
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: own people because they're a bunch of spies. So he's
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: in there, and apparently some guy took a liking to
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: him there, some gay homeless guy, was trying to date David.
• 33:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: And David was like, God was touching him and stuff. Oh, no.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: And David would get out and he would call me
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: and go, you've got to get me out of this place.
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: That's got to happen. And so every meal, they serve pablum. Like,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: you know, it's crap. And I'm going, where are the fillets? Right?
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: So after about nine days, David's living in a homeless
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: shelter with his boyfriend, this guy who doesn't like him.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Okay. And he was, I could tell he was getting
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: out of it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I would want to, yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: And so we said, well, how do we know that
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: the steaks were stolen just because they haven't been served?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: So we had this butcher guy. This is true. We
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: had this butcher guy call back to Star Hope and say, hey,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: just checking back, did the guys love the steaks? And
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: so the Star Hope person, like an idiot, said they
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: were great. The guys loved him.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: You had to catch him in that lie, yeah.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: So we then went charging in, right? Ah, we got
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the proof. We got all this great.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: And you got somebody fired.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if he got fired. I just
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: know that he lied because he didn't want people to
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: believe they were saving the stakes for Thanksgiving or something, right? Yeah, sure.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: But we didn't know. There was no way to know
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: whether this had actually happened or not. So we spent
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of time and money... bought some great steaks
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: for the homeless. But we didn't get a story out
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you didn't get the smoking gun.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: There was no way to know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: What's so interesting about that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: But David left after that because he went off with
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: his boyfriend. He had to break up, yeah. They now
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: have five kids.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Are they doing well?
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing great. It's a good couple.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: The thing I was going to say to you, and
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: I know we've got a caller in the hotel trying
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: to do this real quick too. No, it's okay. I
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: had a similar experience where I found out about a
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: breaking story. I was in radio, and I called a
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: receptionist at a television station. Because someone had committed suicide
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: and someone had been fired. And it was all because
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: of embezzling. They had embezzled from a public television station.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: And I knew most of the story. I just needed
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: to get something on the record. And so I called
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: and I talked to the receptionist lady and I asked
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: her the name of this person, this thing, this thing.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: And she confirmed like most of who had not been
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: at the job anymore, who got fired. And eventually I
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: just got her fired. And I didn't intend to do that.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: But when I finally reached out to the company with
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: what I thought was the smoking gun, like I've confirmed
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: that this person did work there and no longer does.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: I confirmed this. I confirmed all these pieces that made
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: me feel like I had actually built the story. They
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: said she was just wrong. She gave you the wrong information.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: And they fired the person at the bottom.
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: Good.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Well, but I felt terrible. I felt terrible because I
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: didn't get the story. Because they said at the top
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: the information was different.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: And the people at the top were lying to me
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: the entire time. It's the person at the bottom who
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: told the truth that made me think that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I got the story. The whistleblowers.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: It's one of my frustrations sometimes. You do a story
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: and then you move on. Yeah. And they have to
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: still live. within the crop show that you've created by
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: throwing so much smoke.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: And we didn't do it on purpose. No, we didn't.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: We did. We'll get Dale on the phone real quick. Dale,
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: what do you want to say?
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: Well, I want to give my perspective on the Senate race,
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: and I think it can apply to the entire midterm election.
• 36:17
  Speaker 11: It's a problem that the Republicans are having. In 2024,
• 36:22
  Speaker 11: the presidential race, I was very frustrated with my Democratic Party.
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: Because it's like all we wanted to talk about were
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: cultural issues. We were fighting a culture war. We were
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: talking about the trans people and the gay people. And
• 36:36
  Speaker 11: I believe these are issues that need to be dealt with.
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: But that's not what concerned people. And Trump, even though
• 36:41
  Speaker 11: he was lying out both sides of his mouth, was
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: talking about affordability, was talking about the prices. We're going
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: to reduce prices on everything. We're not going to have
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: any more wars. But it's like now it's flipped. It's
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: like all the Republicans want to do. talk about the
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: trans people, talk about the immigrants, talking about the kids'
• 37:00
  Speaker 11: high school sports. And it's the Democrats that are, you know,
• 37:04
  Speaker 11: addressing the kitchen table issues, you know, the price of groceries,
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: the price of gas. And I think it's almost like
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: the Republican Party is slipping into irrelevance. I was watching.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Can I jump in for just a second? And I
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: want to be as respectful. Dale, did you say you
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: are a Democrat? You're part of the Democratic Party? Like
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: you vote Democratic?
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I have been. Okay.
• 37:26
  Speaker 11: And that's why I was frustrated in 2024.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: I get it. But when you say, when you think
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: that Republicans are becoming irrelevant, by and large, you probably
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: think that all the time, right? Like outside of in 2024,
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: you might think that a lot.
• 37:40
  Speaker 11: No, no. I think the Republicans used to, you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 11: want to sit down, want to compromise. We're looking at,
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: you know, solutions to problems. But like I said, I
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: think last week I was watching MSNBC and they were
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: talking about a You know, they had some Democrats on there,
• 37:57
  Speaker 11: and they were talking about gas prices and grocery prices
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: and how hard it was to buy a house. And
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: then I flipped over to, I think, Fox News, and.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you, let me ask you, yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: I understand. There's one other question I have for you, though. Yeah,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Trump and something that's not solving. But, so, talking about.
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we rename in Lake Ontario.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, to Lake America.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but... Go ahead. Because... Dale, here's what's missing for me.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: So Democrats are talking about affordability. Great. It's fun to
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: talk about, right? Can you name me a couple of
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: things they're going to do that's going to make life
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: more affordable? Because I think both parties are lying to
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: people that say we're going to bring these prices back down.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Most of these increases were caused when Biden was in office, right?
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not blaming him. I'm just saying the reality is
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: that the prices went up 20 something percent during Biden's term.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Nobody is going to lower prices.
• 39:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: And actually, I wanted to ask this way exactly what
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Wayne just said. Dale, I want to ask you this
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: question this way. Are you happy when your politicians talk
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: about the problems or when they actually give you solutions
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: to fix them?
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: What's the solution?
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Because just talking about the problems, both sides do do it.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. If they don't fix anything, I
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: don't care that they pretend that they know that it's
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: going on or that they admit that it's going on
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: because they're not going to solve it. So do you
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: think the Democrats are offering solutions?
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: I'm not saying that the Democrats are offering solutions. I'm
• 39:34
  Speaker 11: just saying that they're smart enough. We're smart enough this
• 39:37
  Speaker 11: time to flip the script. I mean, Trump didn't have
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: a solution, but he he talked so much about that
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: he was going to lower the prices that people believed it.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Well, the price of gas did go down. Before the
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Iran conflict, the price of gas was going down quite
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: a bit. And the price of gas, the price of
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: energy would then cause a lot of other prices to
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: go down, mostly because of transportation.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: That's the theory.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true. The transportation of goods goes down and
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: then the price at the grocery store goes down. So
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: a lot of those things were happening before the Iran conflict.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: The Iran conflict has been the only catalyst to push
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Trump in a financial direction similar to Biden and Democrats.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: And I've argued on the show, Dale, and I'd love
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: your answer to it. that this fight is a better
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: fight than oil and gas itself. If you're just going
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: to go after oil and gas and that causes everything
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: to be more expensive, that's a worse fight to me
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: than fighting Iranians and terrorism and all the things that
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I believe we're fighting in the Middle East. Maybe you don't.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: But that's truthfully the way that I ask the question is,
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: isn't this a more worthy thing to spend money on
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: than the last thing?
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: I don't know. I don't think that Iran was any
• 40:43
  Speaker 11: closer to having a nuclear weapon than they were before
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: Trump got in office. But the IAEA, they had said
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: that they didn't want a nuclear weapon.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Of course they did.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Of course they did. But when we say that Iran
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: tells the truth, when we quote Iran and act as
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: though it's true, that's uniquely silly because Iran doesn't tell
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: the truth at all. But I'll say this. The IAEA
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: had warned Iran in 2024 that they were not following
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: the requirements of inspections. And then in 2025, before Israel
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: or the United States attacked, the IAEA, the governing body,
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: said that they were noncompliant. So when you say that
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: you think they were no closer to a nuclear weapon,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: do you base that in fact or emotion?
• 41:26
  Speaker 11: I think you can base it on both, but I
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: think another thing.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: But I just gave you facts that disprove what you said.
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: On a Thursday, Trump was negotiating with Iran. Then three
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: days later, we start bombings.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Well, those negotiations obviously didn't go well.
• 41:45
  Speaker 11: No, he talked. Netanyahu has been trying to talk U.S.
• 41:49
  Speaker 11: presidents into debating Iran ever since he's been in office.
• 41:53
  Speaker 11: I think Trump was just the first one, but fell
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: for it. We knew what was going to happen.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Dale, here's what I don't think. We fell
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: for it. I think you have to acknowledge that Iran
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: was in the weakest position that they had been in
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: for decades. Okay? that their proxies had been taking a
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: beating very badly since the October 7th thing. That I
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: can understand from a taking a shot perspective that Iran
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: will never be this weak again. And if we could
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: take out their leadership, it's possible that other things would happen.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think Trump fell for it. I think Trump said,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: you know what, now's the time to take a shot.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And thank you for the call, Dale. A lot
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: of other leaders had also wanted to take that shot
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: in Iran and just not done it in the United States.
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: And so I'm not very critical of the decision to
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: go in. I just thought when someone comes into a
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: negotiation and says, hey, pulls the Saddam Hussein stuff. That's
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: what Saddam did. Pulled it. I got enough stuff to
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: kick your butt.
• 43:04
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: And then you come out and you go, OK, dude,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: let's go.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: And look, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the IAEA.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: You like them.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Well, they did say that they were concerned, and I
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: can play audio of them saying that.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: When we come back. Yeah, I did it last week.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: I can do it again. It's getting in the way
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: of a good story, dude.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: So sometimes when you want to hear someone else say
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: that they were concerned with Iran, so you don't think
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: that me, the dirty right Republican messenger, is wrong.
• 43:29
  Speaker 11: Disgusting.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: We'll prove it after this on KSEV Mornings with Craig
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: and Wayne.

• 45:10
  Speaker 9: has a high level of discretion. Social media responded with,
• 45:15
  Speaker 9: is Monica Lewinsky available? Who the hell would sign up

• 46:02
  Speaker 4: I enjoy chatting with you too, man. On and off
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: the end.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Because I'm funny and you're not.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: I'm here.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're here.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: You're funny and you're a good name and I'm here.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I actually, look, I agree with Dale on
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: one thing. I think we have totally lost the message.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: I think we, in a way, we need to have
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: tough talk. to people right right people are whining people
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: yeah socialists some of these people actually believe that these
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: people want to just take the money from the rich
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: give it to the poor everybody's gonna be fine we're
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: all gonna have like millionaires we're all gonna be millionaires
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: we're also gonna own homes the reality is it doesn't
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: take into consideration that some people are losers.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: Right they're just losers they just don't want to work.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: They don't want to work right I, you know, we,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: I was mentioning off, you know, cause you know, I
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: go to, I go to work after this and my,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: my staff will sometimes, one of them will listen and say, Hey, um,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: you talking bad about the staff again. I said, because like,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: you know, like there's no tax on overtime.
• 47:11
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I tell my people all the time, right. I go, Hey,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: you know, you don't pay taxes on overtime anymore. So
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: you guys can keep all your money that you make overtime.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: You know, at 501, they're all at the door. They
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: don't care. They don't want overtime.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: What's funny to me is that they work for you,
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: the person that you are publicly. Transparency is part of
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: your calling card. So I would think that if I
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: got a job with Wayne Dolcefino, and if I made
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: a mistake, if I made a decision that you didn't
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: agree with.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: You're dead to me.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: Well, no, you're also going to talk about it publicly.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: Like the whole not working overtime thing. Your staff can
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: be upset that you're having this conversation, but they're working
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: for you. It's not like they're working for a different
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: place that doesn't pride themselves in transparency.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember, like, places would offer overtime and everyone
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: would go, great, I get to make some more money
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: so I can buy some expensive groceries for my family, right?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I want more stuff. I want a TV. I want this, right?
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: They don't care. You could give them, I could double it, right?
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: It's time and a half, right? You get to keep
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: it all. They don't care.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not great. Because a lot of people get
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: in this world of they think they're being taken advantage
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: of And then they don't want to do a thing,
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: even if it betters them. Like if I work overtime,
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: I get more money.
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: And that betters my life because I have more money now.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: But there's a lot of people who won't do that
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: because to them, they've sold out in a way they
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: don't want to sell out somehow. And I think that's silly.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: I do think I personally think that's silly because it's
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: not about you. It's not about and everybody now walks
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: around thinking everything's about them.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, because they're owed something.
• 48:45
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: But no, like every interaction they're in, they're like, what?
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: We're screwed up psychologically. I keep saying it. We need
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: a shrink makeover.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: We do.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Because everybody has gotten to be where they feel like
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: they're being picked on because, you know, their mother was a,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: you know, crack-eating Puerto Rican Jew.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: Whatever.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I don't care. Everyone's got a.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: A complaint.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: What's so great about what you just said is I
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: think the thing that's missing is that people think when
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: you say you don't care that that's bad, but it's
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: actually good. I don't care. doesn't mean that I'm upset
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: or angry or whatever.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: No, it doesn't.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: For me, it doesn't.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: No, I know what you mean.
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: What it means is I literally don't have a positive
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: or negative opinion of what happens in your life when
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: you leave. You can go do whatever you want. Your
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: life can be whatever you want. But when you're showing
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: up at work, I'm paying you to do a thing.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to pay you to do that job
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: regardless of how stuff's going.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm offering you even more money that you don't
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: pay taxes on it to just do a couple hours.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting you stay there until midnight.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Right. But you could if you have the work and
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: you want to make the money.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: I swear. You come to my office. You've been to
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: my office. I have. Very nice.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: Very nice.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Great people. Former Thai massage parlor. My building's a former
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Thai massage parlor. It is.
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: You told me that.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: And so- I literally at four 59 to five Oh
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: three lined up. They did. They're all lined up. Cause they,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: they come out through my office. My office apparently is
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: like the front door or something. So they come down
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: there and they don't even want to tell you what
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: they did. They just want to leave. It's five Oh one.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: If I stay here and like actually fill you in
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: boss on what I did for the pay today, It'll
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: be 5.09 before I leave. I can't do that.
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want to do that.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: And it really pisses me off.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: I can tell. Well, because there's a lot of people
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: that just won't do it for pride. Because I would
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: think that making more money, if this company today offers
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: me more money, I'll do whatever they ask for.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Give me some more money.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Give me some more money. I'll do another thing. Yeah.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: And I just don't understand that work ethic.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: I don't get it.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: And I also, like, when we're investigating stuff, you're into
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: the records and you're, like, trying to trail the money.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: And it's $ 4. 59. I never was able to say, oh,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: it's 5 o'clock. I'm done.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I don't care if I'm exposing the Catholic Church.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: I just... Wow.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: It's 5 o'clock. And I just don't understand that. Because
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: I always... When I was younger and getting out, I
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: wanted to do everything I could to get the story
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: that other people couldn't get through being a jerk, being persevering,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: whatever the thing is. That's gone.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: I think the pride has shifted because I, like you,
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: always was proud of my work. The work that I did,
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: the thing that eventually became public, that people could see,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: the successes I had. That's the thing I was proud about.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: It wasn't about if I got the exact right amount
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: for what I did to succeed. You know what I mean?
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: I didn't have a tally that said, if you gave
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: me this amount of money, I'll work this amount of hard.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Sure, you just want to show that you were worth whatever.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: I wanted to be good at something.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: And I don't care about that.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think so, because I want to be good
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: at something regardless. Even if this company took money away
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: from me right now and I shouldn't say this on
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: the radio, I'd still want to be good at this job.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: I'd still want to be good at it.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's like self right.
• 52:12
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: It's about me. And if I'm good enough, I can
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: be great and then go take that good work somewhere else.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: Like that's the big thing that changes now is that
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: if I prove my worth and if you refuse to
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: give me the amount of money that I'm owed, then
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't refuse to work harder for you.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: I just go find somebody who will pay me more
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: and work the same level of hard.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: But it's work-life balance.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: No, that's stupid. That is stupid to me.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, to me, work is my life. We have kids, obviously,
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: and grandkids and your families.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Well, and on the weekend, if I go somewhere, I
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: paid for it with money I made at work. So
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: I have a more fun life because of more work.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Is that how it works?
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: That's how it works, man.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: You make more money.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: And you have stuff. I know. It's crazy.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with America?
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: Are you back tomorrow?
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I did this today. I said I'd come in. You
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: called me all weekend, and you said please.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: You can do it from home tomorrow. We can do
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: it from your office.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: No, I may do it from my office. Okay. But
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I would need, I told Carter, my number two, that
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: he'd have to work at 6.30 in the morning with
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: me just to see if I could do it. Because
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not a technical guy.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we can do it.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I've told you that I cannot turn on a camera.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: All right, we've got to go. We've got to get
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: out of here. See you guys next time. KCB Radio.
