  Speaker 1: Where should I begin?
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Can we talk about this?
• 0:01
  Speaker 3: Say?
• 0:02
  Speaker 4: What are you trying to say?
• 0:03
  Speaker 5: Beyond the usual controversial talking one?
• 0:11
  Speaker 6: One to prepare yourself, okay for Craig preparing deux to go.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Here, particulate, stimulated there there you go.
• 0:26
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you start becoming a gene.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Is the Craigcullin Show. Jesus, oh God, no dot talk.
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: This station is now the ultimate color in the universe.
• 0:39
  Speaker 8: Your host's a good man.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: That is right.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It is the Craig Collins Show, ks V the Voice
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of Texas. So thrilled to be with you. So much
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: stuff out there to talk about. And as I say that,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like most people know doctor Anthony Fauci is
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: actually the topic of conversation, at least in the world
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of poultics. I think will he be held in contempt
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: is one of the most valuable questions being asked right
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: now in a vote that's going to take place there.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I think will be fairly interesting to a whole lot
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of us for a lot of reasons. But before I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: do any of that anything in the world at Fauci,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I do first want to play something that happened on
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Fox and Friends this morning. The President of the United
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: States called in. There was a update that Iran had
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: tried to attack Jordan US embassy, US bases again and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: they were thwarted. We shot all the missiles out of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the sky. But it was a surprise attack and it
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was I guess close, but we succeeded and we stopped
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: them from harming anyone. And then Trump, as I said,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: called Fox and Friends. He didn't actually go on the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: television because I guess he had some choice words, but
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he did tell one of the reporters what the plan
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is as far as President Trump is concerned moving forward
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: with Iran.
• 1:54
  Speaker 9: President Trump speaking to FOXI just moments ago about the
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: US Iran cockbok Trey Yank says and the information Trey,
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: what did the President tell you?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: What do you say?
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, guys, good morning, President Trump. Reacting to that Iranian
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: attack on US forces overnight in Jordan. President Trump tells
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Fox News about Iran, we are going to beat the
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: effing s out of them, That's what he went on
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: to say.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get He
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: did say that. He said some other stuff too, about
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: how hard of a hit Iran will take now because
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of all the terrible things they're doing in the world,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and that is unsurprising when you try to take more
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: American lives. This is inevitably the road it goes. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: just love the way that you hear a morning show
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and a morning show reporter have to paraphrase and then
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: say some of that stuff the way he did. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: all right, let's actually get to what I think is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the big story, doctor Anthony Fauci. And to me, there's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: an easy way to do this. I want to remind
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you to start that. In twenty twenty two, and actually
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: several times over the past many years, doctor Fauci took
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the road of go ahead, call me, ask me to testify,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: ask me any question you want. I have nothing to hide.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: How dare anyone accuse me of doing anything other than
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: while I guess, being the living embodiment of science. That
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was one of the things he did once tell us.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But his other take very often was there, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it's a witch hunt, a fool's Errand how dare they
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: even think that they could get me for anything? Not
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in all the way he behaved, But just as a reminder,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: here's how he was speaking just a few years ago.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Well, if I become a punching bag. I'm a punching bag,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: but I am very happy to testify before any Congressional
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: oversight committee. All right, I have nothing to hide. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: have an interesting explain and validate everything that I've done.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So you know, it's going to be inconvenient if they
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: actually are out there essentially threatening to make my life miserable.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: But it's I mean, I'm going to do what I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: need to do, and that is cooperate fully because we
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: have nothing to hide.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, so he said, cooperate fully, answer all the questions,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: tell us every thing that we'd want to know. There
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is no problem here. He is doctor Fauci, and he
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: is the most amazing person in the history of the world.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And how dare anyone think that he's anything other than
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you know, the hero, the saint, the all the things
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that people said he was. Well, the testimony happened today,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and I don't think answer every question is what actually
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: occurred here. I'm gonna have to mute like three seconds
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of this audio because a bad word's gonna happen. You
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: might see it actually pop over on the internet the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: video screen, as far as the words themselves, which is
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: kind of nice that we don't have to censor it there,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But as far as the actual spoken word, you're gonna
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hear a little bit of a mute button. But here
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we go. Here is doctor Anthony Fauci pleading the fifth
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous one hundred and eleven I think maybe one
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen times. But we have a helpful counter
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: if you're watching on social media. So here we go.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: from answering your questions on the divisive Council, I respectfully
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Amendment of the Constant. On the divisive Council, I respectfully
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: declined to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Amendment of the.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Constt Yeah, he's going to say that a whole lot
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of times. You think he's in trouble.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. On the advisive Council,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I respect his class respectfully declined to answer. Expectfully declined
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to answer.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Nomber going the whole.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Line to answerspectfully declined to answer.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: My rights.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Fifth Amendment of the constitutional color tie you're wearing on
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the divisive Council, I respectfully declined to answer based upon
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: What colors the carpet in front of you on the.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Advisive Council to respectfully declined to answer based upon my
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution on the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Divisive Council of councilpect.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I've been to one hundred Hold on, sir, hold on,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: We're up into one hundred plus.
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It is crazy that this happened. And so I'll tell
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you one thing, and I want to play some Rand
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Paul audio, and then I do want to play what
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he said after the testimony, which I think next steps
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: is probably the most valuable discussion for us to actually
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: have at this point. It's not necessarily what has you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: know happened within that room, because it was a lot
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of nothing, But what could be the next avenue to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: potentially hold Fauci accountable for the horrible, terrible things he did?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: The line to everybody just seeming to think that he
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: was some sort of you know, above everyone else, individual
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: who could never be held responsible for the ways he
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: enriched himself during the COVID pandemic. But the thing that
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like is most important to say is that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: anyone who thought that today was completely useless, completely worthless, fout.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You went in pled the fifth a lot, and every
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: part of it's terrible. You're just simple be wrong. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the reason that you're wrong is that if anyone paid attention,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and I bet you a whole lot of Americans didn't.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I know that a lot of mainstream media outlets will
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: basically completely skip this. But if anyone paid attention, you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: can tell that this person, that doctor Anthony Fauci and
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: his team of lawyers, he was terrified to be in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that room. The difference in behavior for this person from
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: as I said in twenty twenty two, when I'm playing
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: audio of him on CNN, or all the times that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: he was so thrilled to be just ridiculously praised by
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: mainstream media, it seems to scream something that many of
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: us knew before this day happened. But if you want
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to go check for yourself, it's out there for all
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to see, all right. I do want to play this.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: This was probably my favorite ran Paul moment, a mic
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: drop moment somewhere calling it where he pretty much encapsulated
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: all of the ideas that this hearing was all the way.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It demonstrated how full of crap Fauci has been for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a long time, and what the actual legacy, the enduring
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: legacy of a doctor Anthony Fauci, will.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Be ordering it. President Biden issued you a sweeping pardon
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: extending back to twenty fourteen, the same pardon he gave
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: to his son Hunter. A pardon may protect a person
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: from criminal prosecution, doesn't rewrite history. It does not erase documents.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: It does not convert a misleading statement into a truthful one,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: and it does not prevent Congress from establishing what happened.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: There will be another pandemic, There will be another crisis,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: and there will again be officials who insist that uncertainty
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: must be hidden for the public's own good. They will
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: demand obedience. They will invoke science, I am the science,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: as though it were a commandment. They will argue that
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: government officials cannot be questioned because questioning them would undermine
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: public trust. They have it backwards.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: It is secrecy that destroys trust.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Arrogance that destroys trust.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: It is censorship that destroys trust, Amen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: And it is the.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Refusal to admit error that destroys trust. That loss of
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: trust may be your most damaging legacy.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with rand Paul Moore there, and especially
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in your everyday life experience, the amount of things that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: happened behind your back, where people are stabbing you and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: doing anything terrible. All of those moments just obliterate trust
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: with you and whatever it is that you're involved in.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Whether it's a group of friends and organization, it doesn't matter.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And for Fauci, what's amazing about this is he obliterated,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: or should have obliterated his trust with all of society,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: with everyone within the medical community, everyone he's strong armed
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: into agreeing with him, when some of his diaries seem
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to indicate that there were people that definitely didn't think
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: similarly to him, but were inevitably pushed to do it,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and then all the people that he used to enrich
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: himself along the way. There are so oh many individuals
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that are harmed by doctor Fauci that I do not
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: think today is the last day of this conversation I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: think today was the first version of he is actually
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: afraid of the come up into that eventually may be
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: provided to him some sort of jail cell. Who knows
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: what it is, but a couple things. And this was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: after the hearing that ran Paul was asked by members
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of media, what is going on? What is going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: happen next? One of the most interesting was in the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: world of the diaries that you released, what wrongdoing did
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you see that? Of course you weren't capable of asking
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Fauci about today, but what avenues are there for people
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to hold him in some sort of blame for something,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: some sort of accountability, some sort of way in which
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you throw him in jail. I know he's got a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: pardon that doesn't impact any sort of state charges. So essentially,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: what states could come forward with accusations that might be
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: proven true in courtrooms that throw this person in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: host gao for a long time. Here's how ran Paul
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: answered some of that questions. Fatally, did you find.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: Anything excriminating in the diary entries?
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: I think to me the most there is a lot
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: of interest obviously that he was using eight personnel in
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: the NIH to advocate for monetary rewards, and when there
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: was a question of the entree awards, he was responded.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: You know, we have to get to yes on this
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: and think it's not.
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: An insignificant amount of money.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: We're talking about a hundred.
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: Dollar ward and a dinner certificate.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: We're talking about a.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Million dollars, right, So not only was he advocated for himself,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: he was asking others to fill out applications for him
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: to get the million dollar prize. He specifically wanted the money.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: He wanted the waiver.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, follow the money is essentially that first answer there
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: from ran Paul, because there's a crap ton of money
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that is tied to all of this, and that may
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: be the avenue to finally find some sort of wrongdoing.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: That again, he can actually be charged with at a
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: state level, not necessarily a federal level, because the pardon,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: which which will I think still be fought. I think
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the auto pen is a way to try to argue
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that the pardon doesn't matter. But it's a catch twenty
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: two and I'll tell you why. A part of the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: way to hold him in contempt is to say that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: because he was pardoned, he wasn't actually capable of incriminating
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: himself by answering questions today, the pardon itself may be
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the catalyst to holding him in him getting into more trouble.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Excuse me for how he behaved during today's hearing, which
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is really interesting. But again, if they can't go that road,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: or if they don't go that road, I think the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: alternative would be to challenge the pardon more deeply and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: hopefully get it to go away. One last thing, This
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: last thing I want to play in the world of this.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: This is the Department of Justice question about being held
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: in contempt, about what is to do next? And I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: thought that Rand Paul gave a good answer or an
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: interesting answer here too.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Would you hold doctor.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Fauci and think that you would have.
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: The v's that's the votement that will happen in committee
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: next week. It will be in contempt of Congress.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Believe that with his liability, his immunity from the criminal liability,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: that he didn't need to hide by the Fifth Amendment.
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: Correct, and that maybe the Fifth Amendment doesn't attach when
• 13:10
  Speaker 9: you have a pardon in place. That'll be a legal question.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: It's a legal question. It's going to be debated and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: fought over by a lot of people that will also
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: make a crap ton of money doing that fighting. But inevitably,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I think that, and I'm no expert in this. My
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: belief is you cannot incriminate yourself if you are pardoned
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: for any wrongdoing for a certain number of years that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: all of the questions today focused on. So essentially, he
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: can't plead the fifth and so then yes, he's in
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: contempt at court. And a lot of this keeps going,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and who knows what rabbit holes or what avenues we
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: run down, because I think the other valuable piece, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you're learning about it a little bit more today with
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: some of the testimony, is that other people were involved.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And so when you can't get the guy at the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: top of the pyramid, sometimes you go after the people
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: underneath him, people that he confirms or we confirm through
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: certain amounts of data collection and the diary releasing. All right,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: these are the names to go after. These people don't
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: have pardons. Let's see what happens when we start to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: kick this door and how far it goes. In that
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: same world, the financial crimes and the likelihood of someone
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: somewhere much like Manhattan went after Trump actually trying to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hold a Fauci accountable, I think is through the roof,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and I think even more so today because what is
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: so incredible. And actually, I'll say this last thing before
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I take my first break, because I did. I don't
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: love to tap dance on you know people, I'm not
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that kind of guy. Even when I like win and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: somebody loses, that's fighting me. I'm not usually one to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: celebrate a lot of it. I'm more of the I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: come from the DNA of if you hit a home run,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: act like you've done it before, round the bases with
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: your head down, go sit on the bench. If they
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: call you out for curtain call, great, But you don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: need to do that double moment because the win itself
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: is what actually mattered. But as they say that, the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: arrogance of Fauci, the ridiculousness of people like him to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: behave as though whatever they're doing, like we couldn't see
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: through it, we couldn't figure it out, all the lying,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all the horrible stuff that he did. There's no way
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: you're not smart enough to understand how well I'm pulling
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the wool over your eyes. The moment that you actually
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: see someone cower and completely change their attitude because they
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: know they have no version of bluster left. The only
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: thing left for them is to run and hide. There
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: is something fulfilling about that. I will tell you there's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: something really truly great. I think for a lot of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: us with that, it's the arrogant bully on the court
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: on the school yard having the home run hit against him,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that sometimes you do want to batflip and trot around
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit more ridiculously. I still think you don't
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: need to. But I don't blame the people who are
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: because this is one of those individuals propped up by
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: so many on the left that absolutely deserved to be shown,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: not just told, but shown that he's not as elite
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: as he thinks he is. All Right, quick break a
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: lot more. This is the Craig Collins show. KSV seven
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: hundred am, the Voice of Texas.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: He voted and then meant more than one hundred times.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: Today, Rand Paul said he's going to hold a vote
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: on holding him in contempt of Congress.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Do you think doctor Fauci should base your decussions for this?
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: Well, I watched the whole thing today, but more importantly,
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: I was a part of the whole Fauci I inherited Fauci.
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: He was here from the nineteen eighties, so I had
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: him for a period of time. He did and I
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: disagreed with him on a lot. I would have kind
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: of closed down the whole country if I listened to him.
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: I went the federalist way, which is basically to let
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: the governors decide, and generally speaking, the Republican governors did
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: very well. The Democratic governors did.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Not very well.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: He did terrible.
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: But Fauci wanted to have nobody wearing masks, if you remember,
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: and then everybody had to.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Wear five masks, as many masks as you could get,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, paid.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of a six.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: He wasn't a big factor for me. He was a
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: very big factor for Biden.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this, that's the President of the United States,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and this is the Craig Collins show KSCV seven hundred
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: am the Voice of Texas. I don't know that they
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: were all mistakes. I think some of them were things
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: he purposefully did that were terrible, And I think his
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: diaries seemed to indicate that he had a whole lot
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of understanding of a lot of the horrible, terrible things
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: he was doing. John Cornyn's name came up again. John Cornyn,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the senator who, thankfully to a lot of us here
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in Texas, is on his way out. I think we
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: want the door to hit you where the Good Lord
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: split you as he walks out of those doors for
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the last time. But he was asked President Trump a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: question about Cornyn and some of the things he's been
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: saying recently, some of the nominations that Cornyn seems to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: be trying to hold up, just a lot of ways
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: where Cornan, toward the tail end of his Senate career,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: seems to be trying to interfere with the president more
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: so than he should. President Trump has a I think
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: philosophy a hypothesis as to why this is happening. President
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: on top.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Blanche center of John Recordati Texas has been hesitant to
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: back the confirmation.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Seems to be some sort of deal that he's talk about.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: What is your reaction to it?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Hesitancy?
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: Well, all I can say is Todd Blanche is outstanding,
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: and I thought it was pretty routine because he's so good.
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: He just wouldn't find a better person. So I don't know.
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: Maybe John Cornyon is upset with me because I didn't
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: endorse him.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I think that is true, sir.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's hilarious and that is true. Trump did
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: like jump in toward the tail end of that primary
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: race and ridiculously impact the polling. I still think Paxton
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: would have won. I don't think Cornyan is somewonet. A
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: lot of Texans really wanted to send back to DC,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and we can't send tallar Rico. My god, if we
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: do send tall Rico, this isn't the state that I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: thought it was. But I know a lot of people
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: listening will hopefully, I think, will refuse to do that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: We'll get that done. But anyway, I think that there's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a good chance that Cornan is mad at you, sir,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: because you threw the nomination the other way. And I
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: remember or the endorsement. I remember, right at the beginning
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of that, right after both of them were in the runoff,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: this story broke that seemed to say that President Trump
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: was going to endorse a Cornan. It never happened, of course,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: but there were people claiming it. And I think the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a swell of information that was fired out of Texas
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: toward DC, toward the President when that was being rumored
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: about how bad of a move that would be and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: how many of Trump's supporters would not be happy if
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: that had happened. Is one of the biggest reasons it didn't.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: But I do find that pretty fascinating that if you
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: rewind the clock a little bit and think about it
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: in certain terms, that Cornan would be uniquely mad because
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of how much he might have thought he was a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: shoe in for an endorsement that he inevitably didn't get.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: But I don't care, because Cornan is a rhino in
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a rhino, and as being a rhino even now also
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: another rhino. Phone was asked or President Trump was asked
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: about him and said something very simplistic as far as
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: this topic.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Goes in majority of your chow food after the comments
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: supergering City Americans, mother, So do you think he's.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Still the man for the job.
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: Well, we're going to find out, and I'll let you know.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna find out, and I'll let you know.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Is a decent answer to that question, because we'll see
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: how much you actually attempt to get the Save Act passed,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: how much you actually give a crap at all about
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: securing our elections, and to be honest too. And I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: do think this is pretty interesting in light of what
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: came out of Jersey. And I know a lot of
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: people on the left will say it's not that many people.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: It was six six hundred and like four hundred actually
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: registered or whatever it was, of people that were not
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: legally allowed to be here that we're voting or attempting
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to vote in our elections. The fact that there's now
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: proof of that, it feels very reminiscent of the earth
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: early stages of some of the cracks that started to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: exist when it came to Fauci, and a lot of
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the advice he gave us, a lot of the things
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: he said, and a lot of the data that eventually
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: was disproving all of the decisions he said we should make,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people made because of him during COVID.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It feels very similar to be getting that first little
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: taste of what might inevitably be a much crazier story
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in the world of a tremendous amount of election fraud.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And so I just think that's obviously going to be
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: hopefully a continued conversation that we get a lot more
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: clarity on in the very near future. A one last
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: piece of audio I want to play from President Trump. Today,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: he was asked about something that Zor and Mumdami said.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: So yesterday, I know I played this audio filling in
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: for Danta. I don't know if I played it on
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: my show, But yesterday Zoran said that regardless of how
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the people who would be going to a nine to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: eleven memorial feel about Mumdami being there, because he's a
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: piece of crap who said terrible things and essentially blamed
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: victims for what happened. He has done that multiple times.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: The fact that a lot of people wouldn't want him
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: there doesn't matter to him. Essentially, Momdamie will go anyway,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and he'll be standing next to people as they beg
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: him to leave, which is the elitist type of crap
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that I hate, especially from the communist person who is
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: taking over grocery stores in New York. But President Trump
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: was asked about that, how do you feel about the
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: idea that Mumdami might not be wanted at a nine
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to eleven memorial, and yet he's going to go because
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: he doesn't give a crap about people and what they desire.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: He just cares about himself first, We're coming up on.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: The twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven, and a
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: good number of nine to eleven families have called on
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: New York Mayor sort Mark Johnny to not attend a
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: number of these memorial services.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: Well, I think they're having a hard time with Mandami,
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: the people having to do with anybody having to do
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: with nine to eleven right now on the victim side,
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: and there are a lot of them. They're very unhappy
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: with what's going on in New York, and they're very
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: unhappy with the Mayor. I understand that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Ye yeah, I understand a whole lot. Sorry, mister President.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And I love the fact, I'll say this too, that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: many people seem to claim early on that like President
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Trump and Mumdami were such good friends and their one
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: meeting that did actually go pretty well had gone so
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: well that Trump was not really going to criticize Mumdami
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: anymore and maybe just avoid and not talk about these things.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Uh No, would be the answer to that question, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: rightfully so, because Mamdami continues to do all of the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: stuff that a lot of us think the Democratic National
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you know Committee, the Democratic Socialist of America, excuse me?
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Want to do? They want to slowly roll out, or
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: in some cases, rapidly roll out something that is essentially
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a communism. And the way the grocery store thing is
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: happening there is one of the scarier things that I've seen.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you exactly why. Mmdami himself seems to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: believe that he won't harm other businesses in deciding to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: have government funded grocery stores that can undercut the prices
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: of what he considers to be the most important goods,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the essential need items for all of us,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: by thirty percent. He can cut the price so much
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: more than anyone else can, and obviously they'll sell out
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of whatever they have in these grocery stores. And somehow
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: this crazy, deranged, lunatic of a person can claim out
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: loud while saying all that that's not going to hurt anybody,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: anybody else selling the stuff we're selling at a higher
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: price than us because they literally can't compete with our pricing.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: We don't care about losing money because we're the government,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: darn it, and we do this all the time. They'll
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: do okay, they'll be just fine. It does feel I'm
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: going to keep relating things to this because it's so
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: in the air or so the topic of conversation today.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It feels very similar to saying we can shut everything
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: down and everybody'll be okay, and all the people who
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: lost businesses and horrible things happened to them because of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the way that we listened to fauci into others and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: we did something that we all thought was wrong, and
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: then luckily some places didn't. I was not living in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Texas when you guys were doing better than Illinois. Illinois, actually,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I think was the state that took the longest to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: fully reopen of anywhere in the country. And I remember
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: at the time the leadership in Illinois was very proud
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of that. And that was one of the first moments
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: where I was begging the missus to get the hell
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: out of there. I didn't even care if we wound
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: up in Texas like I wanted Texas, that was a preference.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: But at that point, you'll go literally any like I'll
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: go to any place that's not insane, a left leaning,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a left state, or far left in this case, place
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that's being run by absolute lunatics. It's just it's crazy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: But so so many of these topics today that I
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: see trending and that I see people talking about, all
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of them are easily couched in the deceit and the lies.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: That was a doctor Fauci's time influencing so many decisions
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: throughout this country. And so if I don't say anything
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: else on the show today, if there aren't, if there
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: aren't any other ways to go about it, I think
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the most important thing to realize or to take away
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: from from how good it was to see someone struggle,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: even though they pled the fifth ridiculus amount of times
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to struggle in front of other people, is that it
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: could be the beginning. I'm going to keep saying this
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the beginning of more to come. I'm very much hoping
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: for that. If five months from now nothing has happened,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: no one is in trouble, and the people who predict
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that sort of outcome wind up being right, I will
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: be furious. I don't know who we'll be furious at,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: but I'll figure it out along the way, because hopefully
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: those people identify themselves all right. One last thing I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: want to play before we take our second break. This
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: is a Senator Jim Banks out of Indiana. He was
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: talking to Cudlow and others on a Fox Business and
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: one of the things that he was talking about was
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: to stop the fraud that so many of us would
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: like to see happen and all the ways that we'd
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: like to see it happen in the world of voting.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And I think that this is another one of those
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: conversations that just will refuse to go away no matter
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: how much they try to ignore it. Much like Fauci,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to refuse to be a thing
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that's a non issue, and hopefully eventually the loud people
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: in the room get some actions done.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: If we don't pass it, the politics are going to
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: be really bad for us at the ballot box in
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: the midterm election. I fully agree with you, but we
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: have an opportunity and right in front of us. James Braid,
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: the Deputy chief of Staff at the White House, and
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Russ Vote, the Director of OMB came to our Republican
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Senate lunch today and laid out the pathway forward. And
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: it's this reconciliation bill that the House passed over to
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: the Senate. We need to pass it right now before
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: we take a recess, and get the Reconciliation Bill passed
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: to fund the military, pass the Save America Act, vote
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: ID in our elections, and if we do that, we'll
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: win big in the midterm election on November third.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds awesome. Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: So you're saying no, no vak, no vac until you
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: get to Save America Act and the rest of it.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: I think that's a big part of our victory. I mean,
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: on top of the no, I mean no vacation, no vacation,
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: no vacation, no recess. There's a by the way, there's
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: a growing courus. I think a third of the Republicans
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: and the Senate have said this out loud, no recess
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: past the Save America.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I kind of like that the Senator didn't know vac
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: that the kids use when they're talking about vacation. Here's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the thing that really matters to me about this. When
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you're talking about a reconciliation a way of passing the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Save Act, for anyone that doesn't understand, you can essentially
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: say that some sort of funding over here is connected
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to this bill over there, and you can circumvent at
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: least the filibuster in a reconciliation vote, in which again
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you can actually get to a point to wield the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: simple majority that exists within the Senate, It can be challenged,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: it can be fought. One of the most valuable ways
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: to try to fight the idea of a bill being
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: passed via a reconciliation act, which is a money type
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: of behavior, is to say that the one bill doesn't
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: have any connection to the money spending that's happening. But
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I think you could say that the Save America Act
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: is trying to secure our country from any sort of threat,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and that military spending and this spending over here is
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: all interconnected to it, and then get it done. But
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that's essentially the road or the hope for politicians is
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: that what was once talked about as a really really
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: bad way to attempt to get the Save America Act
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: passed is now kind of the only way to attempt
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to get these Save America Act passed, the Save Act
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: as it used to be known past. And I do
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: think that this is where Trump has a really great
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: card that he's playing, which is just try and he
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: keeps saying that to Thune, and he keeps saying that
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: to others. Just try try to do it whatever way
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you can show the American people and the vast majority
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of individuals who overwhelmingly support the idea of ID used
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to vote a photo ID, a government issued thing. Most
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: of us think that that's a good idea. Show them
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that you're trying, show them that you want to do it,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and out the rhinos, out the people like Cordon who
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: are going to refuse in that moment when it gets
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that close for some reason, a reason that many of
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: us can guess what it is, or where maybe some
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: lines are being drawn or pockets are being greased, hands
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: or being greased, whatever you want to call it. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: just think it's so important to go those roads and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: to do that sort of thing. And actually, and I
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: don't mean to do this. I'm literally doing this the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: whole show. And it wasn't planned out, it's not intentional.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It feels like a big giant circle back to Fauci.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Everything we do today, to me is a demonstration of
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: go ahead and try, regardless of what you think the
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: outcome is going to be, and how much people might
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: try to prevent or fight going along, not going along with,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: you know, an attempt to get to the truth or
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: do what matters. Fauci showed up. He pled the fifth
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous amount of times, and a bunch of politicians
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: probably knew going in that's what was going to happen,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and yet they asked him all the questions. Darn it.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: And so in that same vein try to get the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Save Act passed. Do everything you can, leave no stone unturned.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I do this for this election, do this for the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: next election. I do this in general, just to make
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: sure that the American people have something that we all
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: should care about, being legitimate and being protected. I don't
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: know why. The last thing I'll say before I actually
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: take that break is I don't know why they can't
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: just do it, And I do know why, but I
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: want to pretend as though I don't, because that's more fun.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: What I mean by that is, if they claim no
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: election fraud has taken place, then what's the harm and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: passing this thing?
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: How is it remotely bad? If we're securing a thing
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that's already secure, how does it get like we had
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the most secure in the history of elections in twenty twenty.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: They told us it was the most. Nothing has ever
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: been more secure, So why not secure it harder. That's
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: my bumper sticker that I'd like to throw out there
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: and then some sort of goodbye to Cornyn tied to it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: But let's secure the election even more than how secure
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: it definitely was in twenty twenty. A lot of that's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: in air quotes. All right, quick break, a lot coming up.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Thrilled to be with you for an hour every single
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Monday through Friday right here on KSSEV seven hundred am
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the Voice of Texas. This is the voice of tax
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: AM seven. That's not what's supposed to happen there. This
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: is the Voice of Texas and the Craig Collins Show,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: KSV seven hundred AM. Thrilled to have you with us.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: So much stuff out there to talk about. Producer Lucas
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: hanging out in the producer both doing producer e things
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: and answering phone calls if you want to call in
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and be a part of the show. But I have
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that I still want to talk about,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and I honestly don't want to do more serious topics.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: As I demonstrated in the first forty five minutes of
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the show. A lot of my brain today, a lot
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of my mental focus has been paying attention to Fauci
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: and all the ridiculous versions of pleading. The fifth that
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: he did in all the ways you can compare it
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: to The Chappelle Show or whatever else you want it
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to be like. It was just stupid, but I think
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: it was valuable. I said that before. I'll say that
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: again because hopefully it's the beginning of something and not
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: at the end of something. But because of that, I
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: kind of want to move on. So some other things
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: out there, some more fun things out there, one of
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: which is sort of stealing from the Dana Show. They
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: do a Florida Man segment. I saw Florida Man today
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and even though I wasn't filling in on her fancy
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: national show, I can do it online. I can do
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it on the Craig Collins Show. On KSV. A Florida
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: guy got arrested and while he was getting arrested, he
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: was shouting out to his bay to try to convince her,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I assume, not to break up with him for breaking
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: some kind of law. This went very viral and some
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: did ask, what's worse yelling out for your bay are
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: yelling out from mom? I think mom is worse. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: think that looks a little bit different. But this, I
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: think is just a dude who's scared that if he
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: gets thrown in the hooscal for a bit. She's gonna
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: wind up with another guy by the time he's out
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: of this prison. Here we go. Come out to me.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Come out to me, Show me your.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Hair, show me your head.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: We'll get it.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I love you. I don't know. I you know. A
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: part of me because I'm gonna crap on this lot,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: make fun of it a lot, but a part of
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: me respects a guy who tries as hard as he
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: can to win some points in opportunities where points are
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: not usually provided. As a married guy, I know the
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: intelligence of that move of trying to turn a bad
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: thing good is she's upset about something, she complains about something,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: you gotta find an avenue to make it better. I
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: actually I probably feel this way every time I see
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: a guy by himself in a grocery store buying flowers.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Every time I see that, part of me assumes, I
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: know it doesn't have to be this, but I assume
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that you're apologizing for something. So maybe he had a fight,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's some reason that the missus is upset with him,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and so he thought, Hey, I'm going to go viral
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: right now. People are gonna see my face and see
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: what I care about, and I'm just gonna yell out
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: several times that I love you, Bay, just so she
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: knows it. Here we go one more time. I love you,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I love I do, I care a whole lot about you,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and I just want to make sure everybody knows it
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: in this moment when I'm getting arrested. Another thing that
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I really liked a story that I thought was funny,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: mostly because the headline just sort of makes sense. Like
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you hear the beginning, you hear the end, and you're like, yeah,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I could have predicted that. So a guy who I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: guess has other Guinness World Records tried to set another one.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: This is a guy in Idaho. His name is David.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: The record he was trying to set was juggling flaming
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: torches well on a unicycle. And the part of the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: headline that I loved is he accidentally burned off his eyebrows.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: When you hear the first two parts, you're like, yeah, okay,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the third part makes sense. This is David, who went
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: viral himself in social media for putting up a video
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and a montage of setting a record while burning off
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: his eyebrows and I think nose hairs two were a
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: part of this. But how proud he was of the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: attempt and everything involved. And again how many people as
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: they watched it were like, thank god it wasn't worse
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: World records for juggling inc I already heard records for
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: juggling fire.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: So actually I got combining.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: The two was.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Tools while riding forward. The flames don't go off, they
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: go straight back in it. Holy moly, I lost some
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: of my eyebrows and the hair in the back of
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: my hands, and I got very familiar with the smell
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: of my own hair burning. Yeah. I know it's a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: messy set of audio because the guy put it up
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: in his own social media, But if you could understand
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: it as I could, my favorite part of what he
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: says is he got very used to the smell of
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: his own burning hair, which I don't think you want.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I think that I've made this joke several times. I
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: would like to send a set a Guinness World Record.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: The biggest reason I'd like to set one is that
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: it would be forever tied to my name, Craig Collins,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Guinness World Record Holder. Even if it was easy enough
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: for someone else to take it away shortly after I
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: did it. It'd be even more fun if we do
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: it as like a radio thing and everybody gets involved
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: in Houston, or at least everybody that's a part of
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: our radio listener group does it with, does the whole
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: record together. That'd be fun. But nonetheless I just want it,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and yet I don't want that. I don't want to
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: be able to know what it smells like when my
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: hair is burning. It feels like it'll be a thing
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I can skip if there's any level of risk to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: harm or fire being involved, some other things out there
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: quickly before we get out here. I do think this
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: is interesting. I love when gen Z or young people
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: pretend that they invented something that definitely has already existed
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: before there's a new viral recipe for creating what people
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: are describing as a coffee slushy, which is what you
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: already think it is. It's the thing that exists. It's
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the thing you can get at Starbucks or anywhere else.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: The reason that they think that a frozen coffee ice
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: chunk's beverage is unique, though, is the way that the
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: young people are going about making it. They put all
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the items into a ziplock bag and then smash it
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: with a hammer, and they hope for the best. I
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: guess they're that the ziplock bag doesn't burst and everything
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: shoot out all over the place, but this is their plan,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: and so they're calling them coffee slushies, and they're acting
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: like it's a brand new thing. The first thing I
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: thought of when I saw this, and my wife is
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: a big coffee drinker, she's a big fan of caffeine,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: is that she'd probably like it if I were to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: make her this beverage in this way, which I would
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: find incredibly amusing to actually do. But then also if
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: it weren't coffee, if it were anything else, she would
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: hate it profoundly. Like the slamming of a hammer and
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: a ziplock bag just seems like a dumb way to
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: go about something you don't need to do in this capacity.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: So I just thought that was a fairly abusing of
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: picturing myself creating this at home and having the missus
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: watch me and how she'd react. And the only saving grace,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: as I said, and I'll say again, is that it
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: would be in fact coffee that I was actually making.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: For as long as that's the end result. Some level
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of it would be like, all right, I guess this
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: is fine, a one last silly thing, one last quick
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: four ish topic, and then we'll probably do something serious
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: before we actually get out of here. But I thought
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: this was interesting too. It's another gen Z topic. A
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: gen z is finding a way to have micro joy
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: at work. Seventy nine percent of young adults say that
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: they need to find a way to take breaks and
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: then get little moments of positivity, which that part I
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: don't blame people for, especially if you have like a
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: crappy job or a stressful job, do everything you can
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: to find moments to get away. I've actually recommended a
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: lot of times to people when friends of mine call
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: me and tell me they're having this terrible thing happen
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: at work. Is like, go outside and walk around. You
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: gotta be close, you gotta be capable, even if it's
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: like a parking lot that you're walking around. There's a
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: study that says, or several studies I believe that say
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: that just outdoor air, outdoor sun, all of it can
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: put you in a better mode. So if you're ever stressed,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest hacks is just to go outside.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: But the thing that annoys me about this is that
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: young people are calling these quote micro joys. And the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: reason why I think it annoys me is it seems
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: to indicate that they're like victims of something. I think
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: so many things that get talked about in these little
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: ways to celebrate this. The actual reason for it is
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: to brag or whatever the word is you choose to
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: call it, to complain on social media about how hard
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: life is, about how much you need the micro joys
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: in order to get through the terrible, awfable, awful, you know,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: challenging things that are the rest of your everyday life.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: And so that part I find incredibly amusing and incredibly stupid,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: if I'm being totally honest. The part where the young
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: people need the micro joy because otherwise they would just
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: give up and you know, put it all away and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: throw in the towel. That's the part that I think
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I can never really get behind. I can never really understand.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: But it is what it is, the micro joy part.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: If you just did it without even talking about it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't annoy me. I don't think it'd annoy anybody actually,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: and act, you know what, let's do this I was
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: thinking about this the entire show, so I fill in
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: other places I've talked about it before. I did a
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: mid day show in a different city today. This is
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: like nine eight o'clock our time till about eleven o'clock,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: and one of the topics that came up was viral
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: audio of Think not All that popular influencer. I'm not
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: going to play it because a lot of it's just
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: blaming Trump and being what a twenty something is. But
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: the heart of the topic, the heart of the discussion
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: that the co host of this other show wanted to
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: debate on the radio, was the sentiment that things are
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: in fact harder for younger generations to obtain some of
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the marquee things that maybe people say are the American
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: dream then past generations. And what's interesting about that topic
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: to me is it's true, like wages have stagnated, the
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: ability to work, say a summer job and pay for
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: an apartment, it's just non existent. You can't do that.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: But the solution to the problem is where I had
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a huge, like U turn version of a debate with
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: another person that claims to be a conservative that sometimes
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: when you hear people talk about topics you no longer
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: think they are one, because Mom Damie is trying to
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: answer that question in New York and utilize young people
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: who are complaining about the things that they say are
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: unfair and convince them that the government is the solution
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and free stuff is the solution. And we all know
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: that's a recipe for absolute disaster. We all know that.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: So then the conversation becomes what is the right approach,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: what is the right solution to a problem that you
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: have to admit does exist? And so I said, Charlie
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Kirk was always my favorite talking about this topic because
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk would go to the college campus talk to
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: the twenty something who complained that their life was doomed
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: when they weren't even out of college yet and all
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: the ways they weren't going to have any opportunity whatsoever.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: And the first thing Charlie did was say that that's true,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: that it is harder now to get some of these
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: things that people got before. But Charlie also used to say,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and I agreed with him very much when he did this,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: that it doesn't mean you just give up. It doesn't
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: mean you just surrender in that capacity either. And I
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: think the really important lesson there, and I did some
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: data dive to and look at it even further. So
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: thirty three, I think almost exactly percent of gen z
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Ers still live at home. A lot of them do
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: help pay for something in the house. I doubt they're
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: actually paying their fair share if they're living at home,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But a lot of gen Zers, a good third or so,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: still live with the parents. And seventy percent of people
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: who live at home, not just gen Z but any
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: adult child who's living with mom and dad or mom
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: or dad actually has a full time job. And I
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: thought that was fascinating in the data that I found.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Seventy percent of people who aren't paying a typical mortgage
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: or rent payment, are you know, gainfully employed to some degree?
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: And what that actually means for today compared to before.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Does that mean that in the society we live in now,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: as a twenty two year old, I'm less likely to
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: rent my first apartment based on income I make well
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: going to school or well doing something else one hundred percent.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: But does that mean that I'm capable it's a thirty
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: five years old. If you happen to live at home
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: longer than I did, or most people did, that you
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: could actually go a different road if you save all
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: that money and succeed. The answer. The answer is also
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: incredibly us. I didn't see Jimmy was on. Thank you
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Lucas for letting me know. Jimmy, I did this by accident.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't see you were there. What do you want
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to say? You only got a couple minutes to talk.
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: Well, man, I you know you're supposed to say patient
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: lee holding, let's go to Jimmy X.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: So now I screwed it up. We got two minutes,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: go tell me what you want to say.
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: Man, all right, I'm well, well, first of all, just
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: listening to you talk there, I'm so incredibly thankful and
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: proud that my daughter graduated in college in May of
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: twenty seventeen. She had her own place in June, and
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: in July I had a job, and in August she
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: moved to Dallas and started a career. She's now back
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: in Houston, praise God. But she, you know, didn't live
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: on our dime past college. She's still on my phone plan.
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: But that's a whole separate discussion. Yeah, and hopefully my son,
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: who's going to be a senior this year in college,
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: will do the same so I do want to press
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: the way back machine all the way back to I
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: don't know, two three months ago when Mamdani said, no
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: problem is too big enough for government to solve, accept
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: how to run a grocery store. We're going to burn
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: r for that.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Oh he's terrible. And actually it's funny
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: you say the thing you did about your daughter, because
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I'm also one of those individuals. At twenty years old,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I moved out. I never looked back. Every job, everything
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I've done, I've been doing it. My mom has helped me,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: but I've been doing it on my own for a
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: very long time. And I think there's something really important
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: about not only telling other people it's possible, but doing it,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: like getting the opportunity to live and be the same
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: version of a twenty year old adult that a lot
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: of generations before us.
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: Were teach them to be self sufficient. Yes, anyone's listening,
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: do it for yourself, do.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: It for everybody. Amen? All right, Well, thank you, dude.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry I ran out of time. I would have
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: taken you sooner if I had noticed that Jimmy was
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: on hold. But Jimmy X a caller to the show
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: and actually probably got to have you come in again
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: and be a co host for a Veteran Voices segment,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: because I have a lot of veteran voices coming up.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I have a ridiculous amount of veteran guest scheduled because
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: of a social media post I put out there, and
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: how awesome the veteran community is at answering and saying
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: they want to do stuff. All right, we got to
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: get out of here. A lot to talk about next time,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I promise KSV seven hundred am, the Voice of Texas
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Craig Collins Show, See you, Tomorro. Have a great day, everybody.
