Steve Toth on Early Voting Turnout, Paxton vs. Talarico and Two-Party Politics · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We are the mob, guys. We have brand new technology
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and things happening in studio, which I'm very excited about.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to turn the volume up for Wayne so
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: he can hear us a little bit better. And it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is Tuesday. I think you asked that question live on
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I have no idea where I don't even know where
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I am. What time is it? What day is it?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: What country are we in?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about this like five seconds ago.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Monday didn't work out so bad for Republicans. The first
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: day of early voting and early information doesn't seem to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: be as worrisome as we it's one day.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It's 24 hours, but.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Things might be OK.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And you're basing this on what?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Lack of turnout for the black vote on the first day.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe some surprising turnout for people that are Republicans on
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the first day. There seems to be some information leaking
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: out that demonstrates that things might not be bad.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually was talking to a friend of mine yesterday,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a black friend of mine.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I have black friends and friends of all stripes and colors.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I was talking to a guy that does political consulting work.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I dabble in that stuff, too. And he sent me
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the numbers from the first day of early voting from
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Harris County, and he said, what do you see? It
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: was like a quiz, right? It was like 10.30 last night.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going, dude, I'm tired. I really need a quiz.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: What do you see? And I looked at it, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I– I saw what I saw, and that's what I saw.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I saw that there was extremely low turnout numbers in
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: some precincts that were reliably African American. And then I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: saw some really good numbers in some of the west
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: side boxes throughout Harris County. It's one day. Does it
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: mean anything? I don't know. Could it be an early
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: indicator that black folks aren't turning out as much because
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they're not as interested in Tallarico. Yeah. Maybe as they
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: might be with the Jasmine Crockett. I think we would
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: have seen, I would have loved to have seen what
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the numbers look like on the first day if Jasmine
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Crockett was, not that I like Jasmine Crockett, but I
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: just think that she would have energized the black community.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And I think that's one of the interesting things we're
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: going to be watching here as we get closer to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: D-Day or E-Day, is whether or not African-Americans turn out.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And Republicans could be turning out because they are hearing
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the warning and the message about, you know, these Democrats
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: who run real moderate. I mean, if you listen to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a James Tallarico commercial, I think I saw one this morning.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's just he doesn't want to represent a party. Dude,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: he wants to represent Texans.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Himself, yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No, himself.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, right. That's what he keeps saying is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that he wants to represent Texans.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all Reagan reincarnated.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Of course they are.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And so I say that, and he says something in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: his commercials about how he worked with Republicans to cut
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: property taxes. Sometimes when you don't hear an attack, you
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: sort of wonder if it's because That's true. I don't
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: know how he voted on that, and maybe I should
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: have woken up at 3 this morning and studied this,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: but that wasn't going to happen.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to do that either. I'm not
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: going to wake up that early and do that either.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm supposed to, but that's not
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a gig I want.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I think you are.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, am I supposed to?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: When I read my title for this job, it says co-host.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say anything else. It doesn't say producer. It
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't say any of those other names.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I've just decided that you are.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, man. Fair enough.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I run a company the rest of the day.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And you what? And you go hang out outside like
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a park.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: No, I do our website, our social media pages. I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: created our apps for us. I do a lot of things.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm a very busy guy.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I'm totally impressed.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I love how much you just rolled your eyes at that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I'm totally impressed.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That's fine. You know what I also love? I just
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: want to say this. I know this is background and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: not necessarily a topic that a lot of people care about.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: But Wayne and I, just before the show, were talking
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about how to get a certain camera in focus for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you at your office. It doesn't affect what we put
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: up on the live stream. You wanted one camera. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you want to see me. And you don't.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You want to see yourself.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: No, in fact, right now, I don't even see you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. No, I can't. Actually, I see
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you in a big box. I see me in a side,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: smaller box. Oh, okay.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So you have the reverse of what I'm seeing because
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing you in a very large box and me
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: in a much smaller box.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Well, so you got the better view. Yeah. I think
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: is what you're saying, right? Because I'm looking at you going,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I hope during a break I can change this camera
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: shot because it's like I've got like this 900 feet
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of you and the foot of me.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: He's not a fan of that. Fair enough. We do
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have Steve Toth on the show today. He will be
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on at 730. He is running for Congress and hopefully
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: going to win that seat. And very excited to have
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: him on.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I don't even know who the other guy is.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. We don't even care who the other
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: people are.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Just don't worry about the other guy's name.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Just vote Steve and you're fine.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: T.O.T.H.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I think this is interesting to just T.O.T.H. Yes, thank you.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I think this is interesting to throw it out there.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: We are getting a lot of requests for interviews from
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of people running for office, which means that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Russell has to do some paperwork because it's, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: fair or whatever. That's terrible. But also just for the audience,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you're probably going to hear a decent amount of interviews.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think we have another one scheduled for tomorrow. This
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: month will be pretty hectic or these couple of weeks
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: will be hectic. I just I want to ask you this, though, Wayne.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Do you think that now is a time when people
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: can still be reached? Like, I'm glad Steve's doing the show.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we're going to have him on and get
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to ask him questions. Do you think a lot of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: people have already made up their mind?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of do, actually. I think what we
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: don't know yet is how many of those couch Republicans, right,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the ones that you see at the, if you go
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to the fancy restaurants, you see them at night, whether
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: those people are going to sort of give up the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Cornyn thing and sort of decide to come home. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: think that's something that I just, um, I, I just
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: don't get a lot of people that tell me, gosh,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I really love Ken Paxton. And we can say all
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: day that he's been a very effective attorney general, especially
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: in terms of national issues. Yeah. Um, We can say
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that all day, but there's something about his lack of charisma,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll use as the word. You know, he
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the charisma that I have.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: No, he does not.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: No, no. Or you. Or even you. He doesn't even
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: have your charisma. So in the charisma world.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: In the charisma business, he is, you know. He's not big. Yeah, no,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he's not that great.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And so people are going to have to vote based
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: on what they think is in the best interest of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the country. And I still worry. But the same thing
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: happened with Beto O'Rourke. You see all these huge crowds.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And I remember when Beto O'Rourke was running against Ted Cruz,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I was one of those squishy Republicans who said, And boy,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it sure looks like this guy is– he's gone to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: every county. He's getting these huge crowds. But Kamala Harris
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: got huge crowds, right? Everybody was chanting Kamala or Kamala
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: The hell her name is.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Whatever the hell her name is. They were chanting it,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and it was like you just got this vibe that, boy,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: this thing was really rocking and rolling.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And then election day, people come home. So if the turnout,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: when I saw the turnout numbers yesterday in Harris County,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it was 100,000 or something, the most ever, I was nervous.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I said, oh, I don't like that. I don't want
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: people to vote. There's too many stupid people out there.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I hate to say it. I really am becoming a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: guy that's beginning to wonder whether or not this whole
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: democracy thing is such a great idea.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: What, what would we do though? I, I appreciate that sentiment,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: but we wouldn't do a different thing. There's nothing better
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: than this.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe, maybe Kings are better. I don't know.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think, I don't know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I think we're fine.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: But there's an awful lot of people that, that I
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: think just are sheep and, and they just, yeah, they,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: They get interested in weird things.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I think the nice thing to point out, the thing
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that takes you off the ledge there, Wayne, because we
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: need to get you off the ledge a little bit
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: on a Tuesday morning, is that there's so few people
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that vote in this sort of thing that the people
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: who are sheep can be overcome. You can overcome those
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: individuals by actually showing up and voting. Like if more
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: people– Well, sure.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Right. It's an ideal– If some butts can be nuts,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, sure. I get it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: It's an ideal sentiment, but it's what our democracy was
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: designed to be. You're actually supposed to utilize your voice
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to choose who's in charge.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Do you own property? I do. Okay, so I think
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: you can vote.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Because people who don't own property will be able to vote.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I'm just throwing out some random question.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: They don't have a great grasp on how much property
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: taxes impact people when they're not paying them, although they
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: do inevitably pay them because their rent probably goes up.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So I sort of almost wonder if voting is like crime.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what I mean. I have a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: weird thought this morning. So when a lot of people
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: who commit crime are in there, like they're young, right?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: They're like under like 30, right? Once you get above 30,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you pretty much have, you know, gotten out of the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: most crime business, right? At least most people have. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: wonder if we should do the same thing with voting
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: and just say you can't vote until you're like 30.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: The reason I think that that makes sense is that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: life experiences changes a lot of people's beliefs. They say
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that when you're young, if you have a heart, you're
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a Democrat. And when you get older, if you have
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a brain, you're a conservative. Because more and more of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: what the government does, you realize, damages you. It doesn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: help you. You need to have kids, is what they say.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You need to have a house. And when you have
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: those things, you change the way you vote.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: All right. So let's change the law when we come
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: back after the break. All right.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. It'll be fine. We'll see what
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: keeps happening in the world of early voting. You can
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: go out there and vote. And I do believe everyone
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: should use that permission they've given, that right they have.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And Wayne is shaking his head it's never going to happen.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Quick break. A lot more. Voice of Texas, KSEV Radio.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: KSEV Radio. This is the Voice of Texas. We are
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: your Mob Guy Morning Show. And we're very proud of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that name. Anybody that thinks that we're not is wrong.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: The Mob Guys is a great name for a show.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Mostly because I think of it, Wayne, as a reflection
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: on all the terrible actual mobsters who are in politics. So,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: oh wait, you want your headphone volume.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Up, don't you?
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: What?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: What did I do?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Now that I did, I turned you down.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I just did this. This is my signal.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: For your headphones don't work. You can just tell me
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: on the air. Well, that would be What? Less professional?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yes. I am the consummate.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You are. This show is a very professional show. We
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: would never.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And I want people to understand that because we're the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: mob guys doesn't necessarily mean that we could kill you. No.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: No. It doesn't mean it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Right. Do I have family members on the East Coast
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that are Italian and would do me a favor if
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I asked them to?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. And I have a son, Anthony. I
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: have a cousin, Anthony.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I got a cousin, Anthony.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I had an uncle, Dominic. I mean, we're, you know.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of guys.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Don't mess with us.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I got a cousin, Vinny. I got an uncle, Vinny.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of people in this family.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I got a Paul. I still remember when my uncle died.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I was young. And my cousin was about, my cousin Anthony, Sharippa.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: He's a Sharippa. We were at the funeral and some
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: guys came up to pay their respects. And they walked
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: away and my cousin said, you know, he did the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Italian thing.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: He did the Italian thing, right? Yeah, yeah. And that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: was one of my earliest memories is really of that,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: of my cousin, as these guys came over and pretended
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: like they liked my uncle and, you know, were so sorry, blah, blah, blah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: You could tell... Like these were enemies.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were something.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Of the family.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: When my grandfather passed away, there are rumors that guys
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: showed up with envelopes, handed them to my grandmother and left.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: We don't know what those envelopes were. Grandma said it
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: didn't happen.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Grandma's a vicious liar. She knows exactly what we're getting at.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: But that is a rumor.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Shocker.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: When my grandfather passed away at the funeral, some guys
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: showed up. We didn't really know them that well. They
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: had envelopes. They left.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was his cut. That was grandpa's cut.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Who knows what it was? I don't know what it was.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Of the gambling stuff. You know, it's like in The Godfather,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: when they wanted him to do the drug deal. Remember,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Salazzo was going like, and he said, you have all
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the judges, you control all that stuff. And he said, yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: but if I got into drugs, they wouldn't be with
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: me anymore, right? Women and gambling are one thing.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, I get it. You love The Godfather. Do you
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: like The Sopranos, the TV show, or no?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I love The Sopranos.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I really do. I didn't really... You know, he had this, like,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: he'd get, like, stressed out. I forget what it was. Like,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: this psychological thing where he's... I wasn't really... I don't
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: really want to... I wasn't really into the sort of
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: psychology of the mobster. I enjoyed the killing. Okay? That's really...
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: What it boils down to, I just enjoy the king. Right.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: That happened. I thought it was cool, not that this
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: is what we're supposed to be talking about, that you'd
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: get the insider perspective via the show without him just
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: narrating it. You know, he got to sit down with
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: his counselor and talk about what's going on instead of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: just being the narrator of every episode.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Of his show.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I like that delivery of the same thing.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're into, like, creativity. I'm just into just
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: basic violence. Right.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just like the basic— I do have an
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: angry streak. Do you like— I just want to get to
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: know Wayne a little bit better now before we get
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Steve Toth on. Do you like the Fast and Furious
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: movies or no?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: No. They're fine.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: They're just stupid. They're just violence and explosions.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I do enjoy— Because I like violence.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I like watching war at night on TV. I'm really
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: disappointed when there's not a good war around the world
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: and we can watch the stuff blowing up because it's
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: hours away.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: You like real violence. You don't like fake looking violence.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I thought the fast car stuff was good,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: but I was never like, you know, it's not like
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I was going to rush to the movie theater and
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: see a car movie. A good mob movie, I'll watch
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: on TV any day. So if people know good mob
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: shows that are on right now.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think there are any anymore.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And I don't understand it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why. Well, and even like calling
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: ourselves the mob guys, like some people seem to think
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: that that's bad. And I think that's amusing.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Who?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Who? I don't know.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of messages from listeners that I
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: told you about at one time. They haven't really messaged anymore.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: This was early on in us calling ourselves that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not listening because they're not listening or watching anymore.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah maybe maybe who knows or maybe they just got.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Over it did they not like italians.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: They thought it was offensive to italians but they weren't
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: italian which was my favorite part when you tell me
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: something's offensive to something that i am and you're not
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: i can tell you i'm i don't agree.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: And yeah no i i get that all the time
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: from my staff do you i say something and they
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: go that's just so offensive you're so this you're so
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that and you're this and I can't keep up with
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: all the names that people call me anymore. I don't care.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I say what I want, and if you don't like it,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you know, go take a, you know what.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. By the way, did you put up a
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: big video yesterday? Dolce Fino Media, you guys put up
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a big video, because you were wearing that same hat,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I think, in the video yesterday.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. I have four of these.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: You have a really good hat game, I think is
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: what the kids would call it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I was going to point out, I have
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a blue one right here.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I have a black one. So I apparently just got
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: this hat, but they sent me two, which means I
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: either ordered two or they just gave me a bonus hat.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: So if you'd like, I will send this one over. Yeah. Okay.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to give it to a listener.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I thought we could give it away to a listener.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: That's fine. Okay. Yeah.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Let's give a Dolce Fino hat to a listener at
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the end of the show. We're not going to do
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: that now.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: It's a large. So if you've got, especially fat head.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: We'll give it to some, some listener. We'll, we'll throw
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: out a number, but you also have to come on
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and say that mob guys is not offensive. And then
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you get that. If you don't say that, we don't
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: give you that.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I don't care if it's offensive.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Me neither.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I really don't. That's amazing. Gee, I'm so, I'm so
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: bummed out now.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: That's terrible.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I look, I look, I, I, I like good mob guys.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: There are good mob guys. Yeah.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Guys with heart.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Guys that protect neighborhoods.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Who just occasionally have to do a little killing.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But it's about protection. Look, I think the godfathers
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: would protect the neighborhood from the people.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: You're protecting. Actually, what your company does is it protects
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the people from the mobsters in government. So you're kind
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of a good mob guy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Depends who you ask.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been called a media terrorist, a slime for hire.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a what else i i can't think of all the
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: names i know we were talking the other day about
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: actually creating like a wall that just had the names
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: that people.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: That everybody's called you called me hey if they don't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: talk about you it doesn't you don't matter uh you
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: got to be talked about to matter right all right
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: we should take a break a little early because i
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: know that we're going to have steve call in and
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: be a part of the show here in a few
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: minutes uh steve toth is running for office running for
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: congress We support him. We don't care who's running against him.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And we'll talk to you more about him.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: They don't even know if they're alive. Are they even alive?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Doesn't matter. I don't care. But anyway, Steve
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Toth coming up next on The Voice of Texas, KSEV Radio,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and the morning show with the mob guys, Wayne Dolcefino
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and Craig Colonnese. KSEV Radio.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: KSEV Radio.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It is the voice of Texas. He is Wayne Dolcefino.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I am Craig Colonese. We put the bat light out,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: as Senator Paul Betancourt would call it, for Steve Toth,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: who's supposed to call in in just a little bit
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and talk about his.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: He got offended by the Italian talk.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I doubt that's it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: He's dissing the Italian-American vote.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And then actually I noticed that we also have Mays
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Middleton scheduled for tomorrow, so we'll talk.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: To Maga Mays. I like Maga Mays.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I like both these guys.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Mays a lot. I have talked to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Mays actually about The fact that I think that all
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: local public corruption cases should be handled by the attorney
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: general and not by local DAs. And it was I
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: thought that I used to think. So when I started
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: out as a reporter, Johnny Holmes was the DA in
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Harris County. And I really love him to death. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: early on, there was a case they were working on.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: And I found out about something. And he convinced me
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to sort of hold off reporting it for a few
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: days because they were getting ready to make a bust.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And there was some undercover aspect to it. And it
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: seemed logical to me to, you know, just for the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: sake of a story, I wasn't going to blow a potential.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: It was a judge, Garth Bates, I think his name was.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: And I became friends with Johnny, and his secretary was
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: named Joe Tinkle. I loved her to death. And just
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a straight-up guy, right? Called balls and strikes. It wasn't
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: a partisan thing with him. He would bust a Republican
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: just like he would bust a Democrat. Well, that ship
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: has totally sailed. We just have district attorneys in Harris County.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: And in Fort Bend County, and I'm not saying this
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: because they're Democrats. I'm really not. I'm saying it because
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I just think it. They just they don't do public
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: corruption and they protect their own. I think I think
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: all the investigations that went away, you know, Kim Og
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: gets beat and all those investigations going away. That health
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: department lady who was doing some really shady stuff. Yeah,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that case goes away. All these cases goes away. I
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: haven't seen anything. do public corruption, investigate anything about anybody
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: in Fort Bend County. I did a story on Brian Middleton,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: who's a Soros prosecutor who has some bad recordings of
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: him and bad text messages. He's communicating on the app signal,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: which is an app that, that deletes communications, which, you know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: A district attorney should know better. I think that's just
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: so unethical for a district attorney to do things that
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: are illegal.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest things, I know that Ben Streusand
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: played this audio a lot on The Amigos Show, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Sean Teer, right after that guy was involved in the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: ICE shooting where the guy died, Sean went on television
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and said that ICE was practically creating scenarios. I'm paraphrasing,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: but this was the sentiment he gave. Creating scenarios where
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: they could use force to kill people or use force
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to harm people. That's the guy that's supposed to inevitably
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: investigate this. And that's his opinion before the investigation.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I you know, that's what ICE was doing.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: There were these ICE agents who wake up in the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: morning and say, you know what?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I want to kill people.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go shoot me somebody today.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to create a situation where they
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: get behind the wheel of their car so they're dangerous
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: so I can shoot them. Like, I want to manufacture
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: all of that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I prefer to do it when they're little
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: kids with the little backpacks to watch it. That's great.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what I don't understand about that, and this
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: is kind of what you're getting at, I think you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: have to at least pretend that you're going to go
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: after both sides or investigate something fairly. We're seeing the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: same thing in New York right now with some of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the stuff that, like, you know, the attorney general there
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: is saying compared to what she's supposed to be investigating.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: And it just, it makes no sense. This need for
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: these people to be political moments before they're supposed to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: check that at the door.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Don't you ever watch like someone like Tish James, like
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the attorney general in New York and, or Kathy Hochul
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and say to yourself, what are these people
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: smoking up there? Yeah. Well, why, how, how, in what
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: planet would that woman be? Be the attorney general. I'm sorry. No,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I don't understand anywhere. I mean, you're from Jersey. I'm
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: from New York originally. I mean, has it– I guess
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: it's changed a lot.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It has changed a lot, unfortunately.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: The demographics, the culture, the United Nations, whatever it is
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: up there. It's just so– but like these are not
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: bright people. Look, I would get it if– I could
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: understand electing someone who you think was particularly charismatic. Right.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Even though you didn't agree politically, you would say, I
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: really like this person. I just don't know how someone
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: gets there with that. Tish James or Mondami.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, to be honest, they all run on a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: very negative campaign of other people are screwing you and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I promise I won't. And then they screw you even more.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: But I think Tish James, for example, ran on a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: campaign of like, I'm going to hold Trump accountable. I'm
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: going to throw him in jail. And she won an
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: election in New York.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: And then she did.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And then she tried to.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And you're right. She even got a conviction.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, she got a conviction. Right. Look, and they shoved
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: that up his butt all the time. They still say. Yeah. Yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a felony conviction for something that was
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: like not even a real crime.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It was typically almost always a misdemeanor and like a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: business-related thing where you put the wrong information on the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: wrong piece of paper.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: He paid off a hooker.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Well, okay. That's the other way to say it. Well,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: but he did. They were saying that it wasn't written
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: as like a campaign contribution or something. It was some
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: crazy thing.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Well, it was paid to like legal services is what
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: they did.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Right, for the company.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but is that, like my company, my office manager
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: says to me, hey, what should we tell the IRS
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: about this expenditure you made? I said, just call it
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: legal services. Right? Don't worry about it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, fine.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: It's called legal service. It's called mob-related business expenses.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: It's mob-related legal service. That's fancy. No, I just think
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: it's so funny, though, because, again, you asked how do
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: these people get elected, and now it's a very uniform,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: very simplified message of, I promise I'll give you more
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: free stuff, and I'll get the bad guy, whoever you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: think the bad guy is. People love that. Yeah, they
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: do for whatever reason right now. And the problem is
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that once they get in office— They do not give
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you any of that free stuff. It gets more expensive.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: And then they also oftentimes go after the wrong guy
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: because they're not actually going after the bad guy.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Nothing's free, baby.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: No, nothing is free. I don't know if Steve's going
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to call in today. We might have to reschedule as
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: far as that goes.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm crushed. Let me tell you, I do have
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: a question of the day.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: So 45% of people in this country apparently are not
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: not one of the two teams, right? They're not the
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: red team. They're not the blue team. They're sort of
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: like middle infield, right? They don't, they're independent. Yes. I
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: was watching a thing last night about Israeli politics and
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: sort of the coalitions that they have to get to,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: to get to 61. Yeah. It's of 120 people in
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: their Knesset. They have to get to 61 and you
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: have to put together a coalition of a bunch of
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: different parties. Like in Israel, not that you care, but
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: in Israel, there is the Arab population, right? The Arab party,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: it's kind of called. And then on the other side,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: there is the ultra-Orthodox, you know, the Jews with the
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: long thingies.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Gotcha.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: You got the description. And you have to form a
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: coalition with a bunch of different parties in order to
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: get to the 61. I sort of wonder... what our listeners, viewers, followers, cultists,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: whatever they are, and we have a cult, what they think.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I hope so. Do we need more than two parties? Like,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: could you envision a conservative party, a Republican party, right,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: the country club party, the Democrats, and then a socialist party?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Would that be better? And then the socialists and the
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: conservatives would have to come together. Can you imagine that?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be amazing.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Forming a coalition of Mondami and Steve Toth. They would
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: work together. Yes. I don't know. Does that solve anything?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious what people think. I don't know.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good question. And I think some
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: form of having a because we were talking about this
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: off the air. And I was telling you that what
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I really hate is and this even happens during the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: presidential election is. All these states that are overwhelmingly one
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: sided Democrat or Republican, that'll just go that way. And
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: people just assume like, oh, that race is over. No
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: one really runs it. I mean, they criticize our leadership
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: here in Harris County, the Republican leadership, for not throwing
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: money at every single race because some races seem unwinnable.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: But that's true. And I think a third party or
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: a valuable system that forces some version of conversation and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: not just assumed Democrat Republican would would fix that problem.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: There would be a lot less people that just assume
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: they're winning, that don't even really care about campaigning or
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: convincing people that they're going to do the best thing
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: in office.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, we also have a lot of, you know, campaigns
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: that quite honestly, the big political guys decide who's going
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: to win, who's going to run.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: And you say, well, I want to run. They go, well, sorry,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: you know, Don Corleone has decided that, you know, you
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: got to put Sonny in this seat. It happens all
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: the time. It happens in the black community. It happens
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: in the Republican party. And it just happens. It happens
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: in the Hispanic communities. It happens in white communities. There
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: are people that are anointed. Yeah. Even though other people
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: want to run for that office and you have to
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: wait your turn, which is sort of ridiculous because I
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: think your turn counts. I've never been a big wait-your-turn guy.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: No.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big wait-your-turn guy.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not a wait-your-turn guy either, and that's because I'm
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: a millennial, and sometimes I don't want to wait my turn.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: And people in your generation want me to wait my turn.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, my generation?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Other generations. They don't like it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: What are you saying?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that sometimes the wait-your-turn thing is more
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: about the person coming in. I'm being honest. You put
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: it out there. You said not wait the turn thing.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I get that feedback from people that it's an
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: age-related desire for you to stay— Lower, a little bit
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: longer than to move up a little bit quicker.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, luckily, since I run my company, the people that
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: are beneath me are lower than me.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean you specifically. This wasn't a shot at Wayne.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: No, I think it was. It's fine. No, it was never.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Can I give out the number? I know the number. Yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Give out the number.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: It's 281-558-5738. I'm really curious because we have a— Most
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: conservative audience. And, you know, we have some left-wing freaks
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that listen to us.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: We do have a phone call. We got Bill on
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the line actually already if he wants to jump on
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: real quick. Bill, what do you want to say?
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, good morning.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Tell the Freako.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: He's got this ad where he's walking next to a big,
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: you know, building, supposedly AI building, and he's talking about
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: how Paxton gave them half a billion dollars in tax
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: breaks and all this crap. And You know, he has
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: nothing to do with that. That is the legislature. But
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: nobody questions it. You know, it's just a lie.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill, I got to tell you, with the media gone,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: and I say this, you know, the media is pretty
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: much gone. There is nobody that can really do that
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: except for the other campaign. And people tend to view
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that as sort of the other campaign just making crap up.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely disregard the message if it comes from
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the wrong messenger. But as Wayne said, like there's no
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: one there's no one actually fighting these fights anymore and
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: they should challenge him more.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: The media should have fact checkers. Look, I think I
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: think the local media, it made a mistake when they
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: got out of investigative stuff, out of political stuff, because.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: They basically eliminated the reason people watch. But I would
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: love to see someone on the TV station do a
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: fact check, not a CNN kind of fact check, but
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: like a real fact check.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: What does the attorney general have to do with this? Really?
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, counties, counties give them tax breaks for because
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: they know that data centers bring in money.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: And economic development and jobs.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I'm curious about something, though, Bill, because you called it
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and you said that why aren't people challenging Talifrico more?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Do you think he should debate Ken Paxton? Do you
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: think they should be debating each other? It probably is
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: too late.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I think they should.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I think they should.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: You thought they should have, because as I've said, and
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: as I think Wayne also agrees on the show, Ken
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Paxton would have been the best chance of anyone with enough,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: you know, cachet in that environment to actually hold Talifrico
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: accountable and challenge him on stuff. And sadly, it didn't happen.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: He got results.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: He's got results. What has Frico got?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Lie.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Well, thank you very much for the call, Bill. Absolutely.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: But Bill's right, and you and I talked about it
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago. Now I think it's too late.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: You think you can't do it still?
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Two weeks? I mean, I think it's fine for Paxton
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: to say, I'm ready to debate you now. And he's
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: going to say he's only going to do it now
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: because he's desperate. Yeah.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's true. You're right. They would probably shape it
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: That's what I would do.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Especially if you got it on Fox News or.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Something, too.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit late. People are already voting.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: That's too bad.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Quick break. A lot more KCV Radio, The Voice of Texas.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: We are the Mob Guys, Craig Colonnades, Wayne Dolcefino. Back
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: after this. KCV Radio. We are the Mob Guys. I'm
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Craig Colonnades. He is Wayne Dolcefino. And we are thrilled
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: to welcome Steve Toth to the show. Steve is running
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: for Congress. How are you doing, sir?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Doing great. Really great. Really exciting to see the turnout
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: by conservatives across the state of Texas. Very exciting.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we actually want to ask about that, because we
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: were talking about it to start the show. It seems
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that the first day of early voting has gone much
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: better for conservatives than people anticipated, which probably is a
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: really good sign. Give us a little more on that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't have the exact numbers yet, and
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have them by noon today for exactly
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: how many Republicans turned out versus Democrats, but... We have
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: heard in predominantly strong Republican precincts that the numbers are very,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: very encouraging. Now, don't be confused here. The numbers for
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Democrats of turnout is really high as well.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: But here's the deal, though. If we match, if Republicans
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: match Democrat turnout, we win. We win bigly. And that's
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: what I'm seeing on the ground so far.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: So Republicans.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Don't take your foot off the gas. We've got to
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: continue to perform, which means that even if you voted,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: make sure your neighbors have voted. Make sure friends and
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: family have voted. Get on the phone. Pick up the
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Abbott app right now. I mean, the Abbott app is
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: so helpful. It's so amazing. And it makes it so
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: easy to encourage people to go out and vote. You
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: can find out if friends and family have voted or
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: not yet. And so, yeah, let's get this done. We've
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: got to push all the way hard, all the way
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: across the finish line.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: You know, Steve, this is Wayne. How are you doing, brother?
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: One of the things that I often wonder is, like,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I was talking earlier about, like, when I watched Beto
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: O'Rourke years ago and I saw those big crowds, I
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: got nervous because I get a little squishy. sometimes, right?
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: And I see the same thing with Frico, and I
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: just sort of wonder what's going to win out, do
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you think? What do you think wins out at the end?
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: You know, Wayne, I think what's really amazing right now
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: is what's going on over in Europe, right? And you're
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: seeing Brussels, you're seeing Paris, you're seeing London burn, you're seeing...
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: this crazy, and I almost said extreme socialism. Socialism is socialism.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: It's not extreme.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: It's just socialism. It's like when they say Islamic extremists.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: It's an oxymoron. This is what socialists do. This is
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: what Islamists do. And we're seeing this play out in
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Europe right now. And by God's grace, America is given
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: the opportunity right now to see fast forward what America
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: will look like under socialist control, under Islamic control. And
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I think people are really... I'm using the expression here,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: but it's a bitch slap right now to the United
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: States and to see what our nation will look like
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: under Islamic control or under socialist control.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Steve, I think you're in the text chain between Wayne
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and I, because literally last night, as we're both getting
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: ready for the show and then supposed to go to bed,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: we're texting about how crazy it looks in France. and
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: how they brought that on themselves, how a lot of
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: what's going on there seems to be because of this
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: woke whatever agenda that has morphed into this communist type of...
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: It's been amazing to watch, I guess is the right
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: way to say it, Steve, but are you surprised at
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: all that it's taken this long for Texas to wake up?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Because I feel like Texas is one of those places
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that's been awake the longest, and yet when you're looking
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: at the Senate race or something else, it's somehow closer
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: than it should be.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: You know what's crazy is that The hard part about
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Democrats and Republicans is that for the Democrat Party, this
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: is their religion. They don't go to church, a lot
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: of them. The vast majority of them don't go to church.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not impugning anything on them. These are just the numbers, right?
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Demographics show that they don't go to church, and the
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: reality is that politics is their religion. This is how
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: they tithe. They tithe to the Democrat Party, and they
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: tithe to Democrat candidates that are running for office, which
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: is why they so grotesquely outraise Republicans when it comes
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: to this stuff. And so they tend to be tied in.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: They tend to be tuned in 24-7, 365 of what's
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: going on, right? Republicans, unfortunately— We run businesses. We raise
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: our families. We love our spouses and our kids, and
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: we're involved in them. And we're tied into them and
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: into our business. And then we think about politics for
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: basically three weeks every couple of years. We start thinking
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: about it about a week before early voting. We start
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: waking up, and then we wonder why the hell we're
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: losing our nation. And it's because we're not tied in.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: We're not involved. We're not plugged into what is going
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: on 24-7, 365 like the Democrats are. And the Democrats,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: they're completely unified. They're like trail horses, right? Each horse
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: sticks its nose into the ass of the horse in
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: front of them, and away they go. We tend to
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: be more like stallions. We're Mustangs. We're out there fighting, kicking,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: and we're disruptive. There's a beauty in that, but there's
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: a time when that has to end. Now's the time
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: when it needs to end and we need to come
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: together and understand what is it that we are fighting.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: We're fighting something generationally that will destroy our nation.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I liked him already. I like him more now.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: My son Anthony is a big fan of Steve's and
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: so am I. I will tell you that He's very subtle. Yeah.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: That's what I like about Steve, right?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: He sort of goes.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: For the model. The mob guy show that we do
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: loves us.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I don't know who the guy that's running
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: against you is. It doesn't matter. We don't care. We
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: won't mention his name. We don't care. But did you
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: see him yesterday when you were out the first day
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: of early voting? I saw something on your Facebook or
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: something where he challenged you to a debate. Was that
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: yesterday or was that earlier?
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: It was yesterday. Can you hear me?
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: OK, so it was so funny. I was standing in
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: line talking to people. He walks up to me and
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: he said, Steve. And I said, Sean, how are you?
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: And so he looks at he looked in there. There
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: are probably two dozen people around. Right. And he says,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: so he looks at the line and all the people.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: He said, so Steve. And he may have been recording
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: me because there was someone next to him with an iPhone. Steve,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: how about that debate? And I said, Sean, yeah, how
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: about that debate?
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: And he goes, when do you want to do it?
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I said, how about right here, right now? And it
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: shocked him. And so he said, OK, you go first.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: And I said, all right, you're telling everybody that you're
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: a Reagan Republican that's running as a Democrat. So tell me,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: when is it that Ronald Reagan ever espoused the gender
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: mutilation of little kids?
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Tell me about that. He goes, oh.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: And he was just, he was gobsmacked. And then he said, oh,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: so this is what you're going to do. This is
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: the road you're going down. I said, come on. And
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: he just walked away. He didn't walk away. He ran away.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: That's funny. That is so funny. How worried are you
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: about the Senate race, Steve?
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: I was very worried. But with these kinds of numbers.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And what I'm looking at, I'm really if if
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Republicans continue to turn out the way they are, it's
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Paxton by five.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Go vote is essentially the message. Thank you, Steve. We
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: got to get to the news. So we're out of time.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: But thank you for making some time. All right, he's
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: on hold already. All right, we've got to go. We've
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: got to take a quick break. KSEV Radio, The Voice
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: of Texas, The Mob Guys, Wayne Dolcefino, Craig Colonnade is
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: coming back after this.
