Harris County Judge Race Calls, Property Tax Loopholes, and National Taco Day · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

0:00
The Mob Guys, Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino, on KSEV Radio.
0:24
KSEV Radio! It's The Mob Guys. I am Craig Coglianese,
0:28
because Wayne Dolcefino is on special assignment today
0:32
because he had to go to the dentist and that's never fun.
0:34
And then the after effects of going to the dentist
0:36
are even less fun.
0:38
So I think he'll be back tomorrow.
0:39
Sharon, who's a regular caller,
0:41
I like to call the station a lot, is on hold.
0:43
I'm gonna get to her real quick.
0:44
And Sharon, try to make your points quick for me, please.
0:47
I have ADHD as a young person, so sometimes I struggle.
0:50
So go ahead.
0:51
You mentioned the explosion last night.
0:53
I've heard those before.
0:55
I do live on the west side south of I-10. I live in an area called Energy Corridor.
1:02
Gotcha.
1:02
So I've heard those noises before and I just really don't pay much attention to them anymore.
1:08
Fair enough.
1:08
They don't have it often but they have it occasionally.
1:12
And the reason I think, well I've blamed a lot before on Section 8 housing that the city
1:20
We've plopped in the middle of our areas over here, but...
1:26
Sure.
1:28
And a lot of that stuff does come from there because there's some criminal elements over
1:35
there.
1:35
I get it.
1:36
But thank you to our Harris County Constable Patrol.
1:40
They do keep our neighborhoods safe in this area.
1:42
that I did want to ask you to please do more research on the county judge
1:51
because here in Harris County I lived here all my life I grew up in a memorial
1:57
villages I haven't gone far so you know I've just been here a long time I've
2:02
seen a lot of changes and we never had these kind of problems in our city
2:08
before the crime and the invasion of illegal aliens like we've had. And now people are
2:15
starting to try to rise up protest about ice here in Houston. And thankfully, our mayor
2:22
thankfully is working with ice now and I hope he'll continue to do that. But we need to
2:27
know more about the county judge.
2:29
In what way? You said do more research. What do you mean?
2:31
Because I...
2:32
No, no, Sharon, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. When I talk, you got to... Hold on. Okay.
2:36
So here's the thing when you said do more research, what do you mean?
2:38
I want to know what you meant. I had a guest on a few weeks ago.
2:42
Maybe I'll bring back on that talked a lot about all the corruption that that is surrounding plumber.
2:48
She's insane as far as the horrible things, even the stuff she just did, like professionally.
2:54
I think she's been accused of a lot of bad stuff, a lot of fraud within a dental practice and other things.
3:00
So as far as the candidate on the left, there's a lot of bad.
3:03
And then Orlando Sanchez is awesome.
3:05
He's been on the show.
3:06
He'll be on the show again, I think, in the very near future.
3:09
We're trying to coordinate a second interview
3:12
with Orlando Sanchez where Wayne is here.
3:16
Because I think Wayne wants to ask some questions to Orlando,
3:18
and I don't want to do two interviews with Orlando Sanchez
3:21
without Wayne.
3:22
And I do think, I'll say this last thing, Sharon,
3:24
and then I'll put you back on the air.
3:26
I do think that Orlando's got the best shot at winning
3:28
and flipping a seat at a local level that's been democratic
3:32
and that Lena Hildalgo did horrible things
3:35
for many, many years with.
3:37
And a lot of the things you're saying
3:38
about the border being wide open
3:41
and a bunch of bad people coming into town
3:43
and the crime that's happening.
3:44
And honestly, just the oversight of the city budget itself
3:48
is one of the biggest components
3:50
to what we should be spending and shouldn't be spending on.
3:52
And Orlando Sanchez would do a much better job of that
3:55
than Dr. Letitia Plummer, who has done horrible things.
3:59
Again, it seems professionally in mismanaging money and stealing money and embezzling money,
4:05
all accusations.
4:06
I'm not trying to get sued on the radio, so these are all...
4:09
Some of them, I think, have been proven to be true about her.
4:11
But you say, do more research.
4:13
I need specificity.
4:14
What are you actually asking that this station talk about and that this show talk about?
4:18
Go ahead, Sharon.
4:20
Okay.
4:21
Yeah, let me be more specific.
4:22
Thank you for the interview with Orlando.
4:24
I did hear that.
4:25
That was great.
4:26
Right.
4:26
And then also I've heard you talk about Letitia Plummer. I've heard that too. I do follow you and then
4:34
I guess what I'm asking is you just weave it in more on a daily or just every few days basis
4:40
I mean just to know even into your commentary because and you don't have to spend a long time. Yeah. Well, thank you
4:46
Sharon for programming the radio show and programming the radio topics that we talked I appreciate that and here
4:52
I'll be kind to you actually because I like you you seem like a very nice
4:55
person and caller to the station. I think the reason you're asking for that is that
5:00
you think it's a winnable race too. You think Orlando Sanchez can win that spot. And there
5:04
are a lot of people who live in Harris County that would believe that they have no shot
5:08
of winning. Not because Orlando is not much better candidate, like please, when you compare
5:13
the two of them, it's ridiculous. But the reason why is just because of where we live.
5:16
And the likelihood that a whole bunch of people will show up at a ballot box in this community,
5:21
in Harris County and punch yes to whoever the Democrat is without even knowing anything about her.
5:28
And I had a reporter on who has his own news site here in Texas that gets a decent amount of respect.
5:34
And I should probably have him on again. I liked him.
5:36
And some of the stuff he was writing about was all the corruption and things that is tied to a plumber
5:42
and how bad she seems to be as just a person beyond the politician she might inevitably be.
5:49
So, so I agree with that too.
5:52
But I wonder if part of the
5:54
conversation we're trying to have on the radio this morning or every morning on this station too,
5:59
involves discussing some of those other close races at a local level. Senator Betancourt,
6:04
who I said earlier I had on Dana's show
6:08
yesterday when I was filling in on the national show, like that was, that wasn't just here.
6:11
That was all over the country. I said that those local races matter a lot and he's right about that.
6:16
They matter to the people here.
6:18
And I wonder if a part of it is a belief that we just can't win, because we
6:21
haven't seen a lot of winning from Republicans in Harris County in a while.
6:26
And there deserves to be more.
6:28
I can do a macro version of this discussion right now for you without the
6:32
specificity of the different races and tell you that a lot of people are
6:36
unhappy with day to day life here.
6:39
The rise in property taxes is the easiest one to point out because it's
6:42
transparent. It's and they hope it's not.
6:44
They hope people don't notice and maybe a lot of people don't if you pay for your property taxes through
6:50
you know an escrow or something you have set up with your
6:53
Mortgage in which they are collecting that money
6:56
It kind of just looks like insurances and other things that you pay when you own a home
7:01
And so there's a lot of young people who own homes
7:02
This has happened to me when I first bought my house
7:04
We actually had to get a map of what all those costs where all those
7:08
Financial places who was getting paid off at the end of it by your mortgage company, but nonetheless, I understand that
7:14
I appreciate that.
7:15
And I just wonder if some of these races it's harder to talk about because the inevitability
7:20
of winning seems so daunting.
7:22
But it's deserved.
7:24
And I'll say it again one more time.
7:25
If you want to pay less property taxes in Harris County, if you want your life, this
7:29
is the right way to say it.
7:30
If you want your day-to-day life to be better, whoever you are, wherever you live, but in
7:34
this case, people who are in earshot of this radio station or on social media and can hear
7:38
it. If you want your Monday through Friday, wake up and go to sleep, life to have changed,
7:45
put people in power who aren't in power locally. Try the other team. This is what they're saying
7:50
at a national level. Even some people on the writer saying that Trump didn't do what we wanted,
7:54
and we got to help Democrats vote in crazy insane communists in a position to power,
8:02
because this is actually going to upend our system. That couldn't be a dumber thing for me to hear.
8:06
Like seriously, that couldn't be a stupider thing for me to hear people especially on the right say
8:11
Because it's not gonna have local impact
8:14
Even if you do it even if you put and it eventually will like it'll trickle down and gas prices will be terrible for everybody
8:20
But if you want your day-to-day life to get vastly
8:24
Different in the quickest amount of time you do have to focus on local elections
8:28
And you really should try the other team and in Harris County
8:31
We have a whole lot of people on the wrong side that have been in power for too long that have made things bad
8:37
Ali has called in Lee. What do you want to say?
8:41
I'm really bent that mr. Benton court because he allegedly passed a bill a couple sessions back
8:47
keep Harris County from being a raise our property taxes and
8:52
He left a loophole in there or they could do that and you now are up what 30 40 percent over the last
8:59
five years.
9:02
Do you mind if we do this, Lee?
9:04
I don't mean to interrupt you just for a minute.
9:06
Do you mind if we do this back and forth, if we talk back and forth as we do this?
9:09
Because you said he left a loophole.
9:11
Okay, thank you, sir.
9:12
You said he left a loophole, and I would like to point out, and this is not inherently to
9:17
defend Senator Betancourt, who's a part of the stradia station, that a single Texas state
9:22
senator doesn't pass a bill all by themselves.
9:25
They bring it to a vote, other people vote in it, and oftentimes when loopholes exist,
9:29
It's because without them it wasn't going to pass at all.
9:32
So getting a bill to pass at all that might have had an exploitable loophole is very different
9:37
to me than not even doing anything.
9:40
And so blaming Betancourt alone seems unfair because of all the other people who probably
9:46
required it to be built a certain way before they would have supported it.
9:49
But continue.
9:50
OK.
9:51
Fair enough.
9:52
But when he has a radio station such as KFCV to crow about the work that he did and it blows up in his face, it looks pretty illegitimate, if you will.
10:05
And I'm a fan of Benton Court. I'm just very...
10:11
Yeah.
10:12
And he gets to crow about it and then boom, here it is.
10:15
I'll look, wait a minute, what did you tell us you did?
10:18
And then the other side of it is he gets to make money off of it by helping us defend
10:24
the morons that are stealing our money.
10:26
I just feel like Paul put himself in an impossible position to be.
10:31
You know what, I'll say something.
10:32
One guy.
10:33
One guy.
10:34
I appreciate that last thought you just gave me, because I think some politicians who do
10:38
You know, we fight certain things while also living life as a citizen are always in impossible situations.
10:45
I think Senator Betancourt is one of those people who's in an impossible situation, but
10:49
he's been fighting disaster loopholes and all kind of property tax loopholes for years.
10:54
And he's been closing as many as he can for years and passing bills that try to get us
10:58
there.
10:59
But I do think the snake that is either the Democratic party or the political machine
11:05
in general, tries to find a new way to do something and then raise property taxes again
11:10
to take more of our money.
11:12
So I, again, I actually don't personally think that Senator Pettencourt deserves to be the
11:19
target of the ire as much as the system itself does.
11:23
And as far as you're saying, crowing about it on the radio, I wish that it were true
11:28
that KSEV were as influential as you seem to believe it is, but where I'm still happy
11:34
I listen to those guys every Friday for the last however many years I've been on the radio.
11:38
Well, but you do know that we've also had signal issues.
11:42
So you're probably listening more on social media now that where do you live?
11:45
What community do you live in?
11:46
What neighborhood?
11:48
Between Magnolia and the Woodlands.
11:50
Okay.
11:50
So the Woodlands is one of the only places where our signal is still doing pretty good.
11:53
I just, you know, and I'm not trying to say that to tell everybody, turn the radio off.
11:56
If it's staticky right now, go to our app, go to our website, you'll hear it better.
12:00
But I don't think the power of this station is, you know, a thing that is causing Senator Betancourt to make political decisions.
12:08
You're tying the two together, and I think that's –
12:11
No, no.
12:11
Okay, go ahead.
12:12
No, I'm not emphasizing that at all.
12:14
Okay, good. Okay, good.
12:15
Then I misunderstood you.
12:16
But go ahead, continue.
12:17
I'm just saying that he gets to get on the radio and talk about everything he's doing, which is informative at worst, and at best it educates –
12:29
We are the people that he is actually doing something.
12:32
And then when it's done and the negative side of it is when it doesn't work the way he wants it to, he gets hit.
12:38
He does.
12:39
You know what I mean?
12:39
I agree with that.
12:41
I'm going to say, I'm going to say what he's not doing.
12:44
Yeah, fair.
12:44
That's fair.
12:45
I just wonder what the tax hike would have been without that bill.
12:48
Every time that a bill gets passed that limits something.
12:51
Yeah, I always wonder what the world would look like without it.
12:54
So I really do appreciate the call, Lee.
12:56
Is there anything else you want to say?
12:58
No, I'll be honest with you, I really, I love Chris Salsetto, I've loved him for years,
13:04
but I really do like your show.
13:06
Oh man!
13:07
I want to give you that plug.
13:08
Oh look at that lead!
13:09
I really like it.
13:09
That's great, thank you very much for the call.
13:11
I was not expecting that, to be honest, at the end of that call would be like, especially
13:14
compared to Salsetto.
13:16
That's a guy that I still want to listen to his show and it's on during mine.
13:20
Every time I see it pop up on social media, Salsetto's doing his own thing.
13:24
I'm like, man, I have to host a show, but I'd like to know what he's talking about.
13:28
So thank you, Lee.
13:29
That was a very kind compliment you just gave me there.
13:32
And I feel for Betancourt, I understand somebody's got to be blamed when something doesn't go
13:36
the way you want it to go, but I do wonder what the tax hikes would have been without
13:40
the bills Senator Betancourt has been passing for years to try to fight them.
13:44

15:51
That's each Sunday at 9am right here on AM700 KSEV.
16:15
very happily call ourselves that and we're doing it tongue in cheek.
16:19
I don't know if people understand that.
16:21
And actually, you know what I also find funny?
16:22
And my mom said this to me the other day as a millennial.
16:26
I talked to my mom too much about radio and about what I do on radio.
16:30
And she listens to all the radio.
16:32
My mom is like, is the mob guys offensive?
16:34
She asked me that she's like, do you think that's offensive?
16:37
Should you call yourselves something else?
16:38
Some other version of the same thought?
16:40
And I was like, no, I don't think it's offensive.
16:42
I'm an Italian from the East Coast, so is Wayne and he likes some mob movies like the
16:49
Godfather movie and I don't think it's offensive because we don't actually behave like mobsters.
16:54
We're not going to show up anywhere and leverage you into doing a live read for us or we're
16:58
going to break your legs.
16:59
That's not a thing we're going to do.
17:01
So I find that kind of amusing.
17:02
I like the nickname and also I know that the mob, at least the Italian version, hasn't
17:07
really existed in our society for quite some time.
17:09
So I doubt that young people even get it as as a reference to like something that was real at one point
17:16
Which is funny in and of itself, but I also think I'll just say one last thing about it
17:20
I also think it's a nice tongue-in-cheek way to reference who the actual mob is in
17:26
2026 and it's the politicians. They're the mob they do mob stuff constantly
17:31
One of the stories I saw recently and I probably won't get into it now
17:35
but I'm kind of tempted to. It involves a politician that is doing all kinds of crazy stuff.
17:41
The minute that they found out that some money is going to be cut off over here, over there,
17:45
the way they wield that political influence to harm people that they think are supposed to keep
17:51
giving them money, that's the mob, man. That's what they do. And so I think that we are at times
17:58
reflecting the the horribleness of the actual mob in 2026, which is in fact the
18:04
politician, but I just thought it was funny. My mom called me the other day and
18:07
she's like, do you think it's offensive? And I was like, no, I don't think so and
18:11
I don't want to call ourselves a different thing. I like mob guys. Wayne
18:13
likes mob guys. That's what we're gonna do. Let me play this audio. This is a
18:19
reporter asking a question to JD Vance and I thought it was really interesting.
18:23
a public service announcement about good use of taxpayer dollars, even in a midterm cycle,
18:29
was the basics of the question that was given to him.
18:33
And J.D.
18:33
Vance did a really good job of tearing apart Obamacare, of tearing apart quite a few things,
18:39
and saying like, these are examples of a bad thing that we have that we don't want.
18:45
And if we keep doing what we're doing, and you let us keep doing what we're doing, these
18:50
things will go away, they won't get even worse.
18:54
And the fraud will be found unlike how it's going right now.
18:57
Like if the Republicans lose power, I think less fraud will be detected because more of
19:02
the time spent in the House and in the Senate will be just trying to impeach Trump for you
19:07
name the thing they think he did wrong.
19:09
But here, let's play J.D.
19:10
Vance first.
19:10
Let's do this.
19:11
Mr. Vice President, you think PSAs are a good use of taxpayer dollars, even in a midterm
19:16
cycle where Republicans have a major cash advantage?
19:18
Well, look, if you look historically, you know, go back to the Obama administration
19:24
with the Affordable Care Act, you have the people's government using tax dollars to advertise
19:31
about what the government is doing.
19:32
It's part of actually, I think, living in a constitutional republic.
19:35
You have to be honest with the American people about what you're doing, about what's going
19:38
on, and part of that is getting out there and telling the message.
19:40
So I don't think there's anything unusual or unorthodox about it.
19:43
I'm sure that some people probably don't like it, but if you look at the message of those
19:47
advertisements. They're not partisan. They're not, you know, it's not like we're advocating
19:52
for particular cases.
19:53
I want to stop right there. There's a radio group that I never really named. They're somewhat
19:57
successful here in Houston. They're successful other places too, throughout the country.
20:03
That is 100% paid for, or at least was for a very long time by taxpayer dollars and ridiculously
20:08
partisan.
20:09
And the Trump administration has tried to fight it.
20:11
It's three letters.
20:13
N is the first one.
20:14
What I find so funny about these types of topics when they blow up and J.D. Vance is
20:19
caught before he boards Air Force Two and asked a question about a taxpayer dollars
20:24
going toward specific PSAs.
20:27
What I think is funny about that is how the Democrats all pretend as though they don't
20:31
do that kind of thing constantly.
20:33
They don't subsidize a radio network that preaches for their side of the aisle only.
20:38
If you listen to that three-letter station here in this community, you will hear overwhelmingly one-sided
20:46
discussion points. And one of my favorite versions of that too, one of my favorite outings of that is when an employee at a fairly high level
20:53
you probably remember this story, I wound up saying that in certain meetings
20:57
he would feel like he was the only person even willing to accept the thought process of the other side. Like it's not that
21:04
they actually went with a story that benefited a conservative or Republican
21:08
But even in the meeting, like pitching it would get you, you know, side eyed and eventually probably fired because so many organizations are like that.
21:16
And I think I've talked about this before.
21:19
And I always forget what show, whether it's the morning show that's relatively new.
21:22
We've been doing this a little over a month or the show I was doing before that at night.
21:27
I worked at some of these places, not not.
21:30
And you know what?
21:31
And PR, I'll just say it once I'll do it once.
21:33
I'm not doing it again.
21:35
I never worked there, although I did know people that did work there in Chicago.
21:38
I worked at some other places that had newsrooms that were inherently left.
21:43
And you'd sit in the meeting and talk about the topics with the producers, with the host,
21:47
with whoever, and you just sit there thinking like, when are we going to pitch the other
21:50
thing?
21:51
And if you ever pitched it, you felt immediate hatred.
21:56
You're like, whoa, like what happened here?
21:57
Like you learn very early on in a career, especially as a younger person that might be
22:01
new to a newsroom that even if your thoughts are not what they thought they were when they
22:06
hired you, because I think they attempt to hire people that are only on one side politically,
22:10
but if they hire a rogue, an accident, then you find out early on that you should probably
22:15
be quiet for the sake of your job.
22:17
And it's horrible.
22:18
It's horrible to deal with, but that's how these newsrooms get so inherently biased in
22:22
the first place.
22:22
That's my belief is that it's a punishment system.
22:26
And I actually have a really good friend of mine in radio and television who told me that
22:30
He felt the same way for a long time.
22:31
He's done the show before,
22:33
although I think it's been a while.
22:34
So maybe I'll have Mark Strauss's name back on
22:37
because he does such a good job
22:39
of every time I experienced that early on in my career,
22:43
like breaking down what the intention was,
22:45
how it was going and what the next step was.
22:48
And I am a guy who's been at a few different radio stations
22:52
or a few different places in my career
22:53
and not knowing how to be quiet.
22:56
I just don't know how to do that part.
22:58
And I think it makes me a good radio host.
22:59
I'm not going to talk about myself for much longer than just this.
23:02
I promise we'll get back to something more interesting in about three or
23:06
four minutes after I think another break we have coming up in a little bit.
23:10
But I think part of the you don't know how to be quiet in moments where you
23:13
should thing makes you good on air.
23:16
I think it's the reason and I'm not comparing myself to Rush Limbaugh.
23:19
He's incredibly more talented than I am was more talented than I am as a person.
23:24
But that's why Rush got fired a lot like even that guy and his level of success,
23:27
his level of capability, a bunch of places Ashcanned him because he's the type of person
23:33
that some of us are where I don't think you can be quiet in certain situations, in certain rooms.
23:39
Even I don't, I hate when I do this, I'm going to do it because it's in my head. Even when it's not
23:44
about like politics, when you're talking to somebody in a power position and they say something that
23:49
inherently annoys you, or in my case, I think it's profoundly stupid. There's times when that
23:54
happens and you have a choice.
23:56
You're like, oh, don't, don't treat them like they're dumb.
23:59
And then you do, and then you get fired again.
24:02
Then you're out of another gig.
24:04
Um, that, that happens.
24:05
But I think that sometimes it's also a thing that you can't help.
24:09
If what you're trying to do for at least two hours, three hours,
24:12
however many hours a day is jump on a microphone, talking to, you know, a set
24:17
of, um, transmitters to people and tell them what you think, if my profession
24:23
is to tell you what I think.
24:25
It's really hard to turn that off at 9 o'clock.
24:28
And I think that that makes some of us better at this
24:30
and worse at some other stuff.
24:32
Quick break, a lot more.
24:34
This is KSEV Mornings, the voice of Texas.

My name is Craig Coglianese.
24:42
Going next.
24:49
Where conservatives find their voice, the voice of Texas.
24:53
And let me ask you a quick question. How many times have you switched your health insurance in the last few years?
24:57
How many times have you wanted to switch your health insurance the last few years?
25:01
If you're in good health and pay your own insurance,
25:03
you don't have to settle for scary high deductibles
25:06
or unaffordable premiums.
25:08
Let American medical plans find the right plan for you
25:10
and a price you can afford.
25:12
Call 833-500-PLAN.
25:14
No, this is not some ridiculous Obamacare plan
25:17
with no doctors and a limited HMO.
25:19
And it's not some rinky-nink insurance company
25:21
that doesn't cover a single claim.
25:23
No, this is real coverage for you and your family.
25:26
Go to the doctors and hospitals you choose.
25:28
Stop shopping around hunting for the best deal.
25:30
American Medical Plans will do the hunting for you.
25:33
Get you a better plan at a better price.
25:36
You owe it to yourself to see what they can do for you.
25:38
Get it done before the rates go up.

Quality plans managed by you, not the government.
25:52
As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver justice that is fair,
25:57
understandable, and within reach.
25:59
Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law as
26:03
written so the rules don't change depending on who walks into the
26:07
courtroom. But fairness also means a court system that works for the people
26:10
it serves. Blacklock has called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses,
26:16
simplifying court procedures, and making legal services more affordable. Because a
26:21
case should be decided on the facts and the law, not on who can afford the
26:51
pain.

27:13
Tonight's skies will be partly cloudy with a low of 70.
27:16
Tomorrow anticipate very warm conditions with variable cloudiness and a high of 91.
27:21
will bring very warm weather with the sun breaking through clouds sporadically reaching a high of 91.
27:27
Friday is set to be mostly sunny with a high of 88, while Saturday will feature partly sunny skies and a high of 85.
27:33
With the KSEV Weather Center forecast, I'm AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
27:48
KSEV mornings on the voice of Texas man I gotta check out American Medical.
27:52
Thank you to Chris Alsato for letting me know about that.
27:55
That is very much appreciated.
27:59
It's weird to hear a live read from Chris Alsato still.
28:02
I hope he's doing well.
28:03
Alright let's play some other stuff.
28:05
There's a lot of things out there. Well, not a live a recorded read. Let's do this. Shall we?
28:10
This is a bunch of people in CNN
28:11
Saying crazy stuff and then at least one person saying maybe some sane stuff
28:17
That person is always Scott Jennings who says the same things when everybody else is saying insane stuff, which I find
28:24
Fun to say the very least I find that to be amusing because darn it. How do we actually fix this in our world?
28:31
Well, a lot of people just stop watching CNN here. Let's play a little bit of this audio first
28:35
We were going to have an election, right?
28:37
Because I remember the Democrats telling us we wouldn't even have the Smith
28:40
term.
28:41
About this time last year.
28:42
Okay, but that's that's hold on.
28:43
That's crazy.
28:44
It's not a diverse.
28:44
Do you think that was telling a book which goes on sale tomorrow?
28:51
Tom Tillis has been a critic of this president since his career was destroyed by the president.
28:56
So I don't necessarily go to Tom Tillis for any kind of objective response.
29:00
Is the president going to be upset with how this will find.
29:04
Let's try the stroke. Oh my God. Here's the thing. I love about this so much. So yes, there's a voice of reason on CNN yet again
29:10
Jason Rance is the guy's name
29:12
And I loved the beginning of that actually
29:15
So let me play that again where we I guess we're gonna have an election because everybody told us the trial
29:20
Set election from happening, which I think is hilarious. But here we go here
29:24
We we're gonna have an election right because I remember the Democrats telling us we wouldn't even have this midterm
29:29
about this time last year.
29:31
Okay, but that's a diversion.
29:33
It's not a diversion.
29:33
Do you think Donald Trump will accept it?
29:35
It's a diversion.
29:36
Can you answer the question?
29:37
How dare you?
29:37
How dare you point out a very obvious thing
29:39
that all of us can tell that, yeah,
29:41
we are in fact gonna have an election.
29:42
But I love the second part, the Tom Tillis part,
29:45
because the left is so happy
29:47
if someone that still pretends they have an R
29:50
in front of their name, the Rhino people,
29:52
says a thing that's negative about Republicans.
29:55
Like they love it.
29:56
They'll actually prop you up.
29:57
They'll do anything they can to make you the type of person that, you know, everyone should
30:04
look to for advice.
30:04
They hated you if you were a Republican that supported Trump a month ago.
30:09
And then fast forward to who you are now if you're Tucker or anybody else, and suddenly
30:13
they love you.
30:14
They're like, oh, let's have them on The View.
30:15
Let's have this person on whatever platform we think they deserve to be on because we
30:19
just want to hear them say one thing.
30:21
And here's the stupid part.
30:23
of that game. They believe, the left believes that this actually influences Republicans to change their opinion.
30:31
Like there's a lot of people on the far left that are very annoyed that they can't control what other people think,
30:38
especially the politicians, but certainly some voters feel that way. Like they're annoyed by that.
30:42
And so they wonder to themselves, well, how do I force them to think what I think? And their best thing they come up with is,
30:48
Let me pretend someone still supports that side Marjorie Taylor Greene and let's roll her out wherever we wanted to go
30:54
And if she says something we don't like we got it
30:57
We got to couch that we got to silence that part
30:59
But as long as she says negative stuff about Trump that'll be great and they think that actually influences the right and it doesn't
31:06
John Cornyn did not become the candidate in this state
31:10
Because the actual people who show up at primary elections and vote on the right do pay attention
31:17
And they do care who actually votes for you, especially at times that matter most, like
31:22
who actually supports you in those moments where you need support on a certain topic
31:28
where you watch someone like a corn and wilt, and then we don't want those people to continue
31:33
representing us because we know they're not really Republicans.
31:37
We call it rhinos.
31:38
Trump calls it a rhino.
31:39
Use whatever term you want.
31:41
These are the people that the left loves to prop up, loves to help, and loves to have
31:45
in positions of power to say no when the time matters most.
31:50
These are also the kind of individuals
31:52
that I sometimes wonder like, what do they have on you?
31:55
Like what seedy thing behind closed doors
31:57
did a Wayne Dolcefino type figure out,
32:00
do with the investigative reporting and find out about you
32:02
and then hand off, not that Wayne would actually do that,
32:05
but someone else would do that and hand it off
32:07
and then that causes a Cornyn to be, you know,
32:11
willing to be called on the bat signal
32:12
whenever the Democrats need it
32:14
and do whatever they need them to do.
32:16
The whole standing up against and preventing
32:19
the Save America Act is ridiculous.
32:21
It's one of the dumbest things
32:22
I've seen happen politically.
32:24
I exaggerate a lot.
32:26
I think I have on this episode today,
32:27
but I can't help it because I do think that's true.
32:31
Overwhelmingly, Americans support this.
32:33
Right, left, in the middle, doesn't matter.
32:35
People want voters to have an ID.
32:38
It's not a complicated topic.
32:39
It's not a one-sided issue where 85% of Republicans support it and 3% of Democrats do.
32:47
That's not what any of the data tells us on this.
32:50
And yet the Democrats refuse to do it.
32:52
They keep shopping the message to their own supporters that it's racist, even though it's
32:57
not.
32:57
And it's a lot of other things they claim it is that it's not.
33:00
And my favorite part about the entirety of that process, the entirety of that system
33:05
and how it works is that at the end of it, at the end of that, that, you know, rabbit
33:09
hole that is that entire discussion, they think they can influence us by trotting out
33:14
one of these weak people and having them say the thing they want to say.
33:18
And they don't.
33:19
That falls in deaf ears.
33:20
Most of us can probably hear Cornyn right now say something and have it go in one ear
33:25
and out the other because we simply don't care because you failed this one too many
33:29
times and we want you to stand stronger with us.
33:31
And I will say this about the Senate race where I'm not just attacking Talarico.
33:36
potentially I'm actually doing something that hopefully benefits Ken Paxton. He
33:41
has done a lot of things that were not easy to do in the world of politics that
33:47
other people didn't want to try to do as far as attorneys general go. All these
33:52
different things that he did have proved that he's willing to fight when it's hard,
33:56
not just when it's easy. And I think that that needs to be appreciated more than
34:01
it seems to be appreciated. It just doesn't seem to be the thing that's landing the
34:05
way it should, because when you talk about Paxton, you talk about defending the border.
34:10
You talk about defending women from having to deal with men in places they shouldn't
34:17
be.
34:18
You go down the list of all these things that Paxton used his legal avenues as the attorney
34:23
general here in Texas to do that helped protect our state from being a crazy leftist place.
34:30
If you send him to Washington as a senator, he'll do the same thing there.
34:34
Paxton's the kind of guy that'll be on TV within a few months, even though President
34:38
Trump craps on how he looks and craps on his inability to be maybe as eloquent as some
34:43
other people.
34:44
But Paxton's the kind of dude who would be on TV as a senator a few months after being
34:48
elected, being picked to defend the thing that a lot of the Republican senators want
34:53
to do that the Democrats are going crazy about, and he'd do a good job of defending it.
34:57
He's like, we do need to do this.
34:58
And this is why I support it.
35:00
He'd probably brings bring some of his own bills forward that would accomplish some of those goals
35:04
There would be controversy that would surround him not because of any private life stuff
35:09
I don't care about but because of the way in which he'd wield
35:12
Additional power to benefit conservatives and make Democrats mad
35:17
That's I believe a significant portion of what's happened so far for Ken Paxton
35:22
He's one of the people who's not been afraid who hasn't been
35:26
Intimidated and when you don't get afraid and you aren't intimidated and you keep coming after people
35:30
Eventually, they relent eventually they give in or they attack you at all costs or they scream every single
35:37
Insane thing they can about you because they want you to go away
35:42
They think that that makes things better and actually I'll say one last thing
35:46
Sort of just like a macro rant conversation or topic today. It never makes things better
35:52
The other thing that's so funny about this is the corrupt people, the people who wield power in stupid ways,
35:58
they don't actually fix something by getting someone to go away. If there's a,
36:02
you know, a thorn in their side, when that person goes away, someone else usually takes up the mantle and keeps going.
36:10
Because the corruption part is the part we care about more now. We don't care about the
36:15
individual, you know, destroying of people's character, saying, oh, this person's terrible.
36:20
They're horrible and awful and you should never listen to them that that falls on deaf ears after Trump
36:25
Actually, you know what? I'll play that audio because Trump himself said it the other day president Trump that they tried to kill him
36:31
They tried to do so much to harm him that I think we've seen the most ridiculous version of that scenario
36:38
Play out in our lifetimes and it's made it harder to pay attention to the game when it gets played again
36:45
now. Like we've seen it too many times to understand that, you know, or to still be
36:50
tricked by it is the way I should say it. Here we go. This is President Trump saying,
36:54
they literally tried to kill me and they failed and they're going to fail again.
36:57
Now I hope they actually do fail to take over any kind of power in the House and Senate. I'm not
37:02
sure. I don't like the data that I don't usually care about as far as polling data goes. There's
37:07
just too much of it. I still think Republicans can win. I still think you should show up and vote in
37:11
all the elections, but I'll tell you that I'm worried more so than President Trump seems
37:15
to be.
37:16
But at least this point, I really, really believe.
37:21
So they've tried to smear us, to slander us, to persecute us and demoralize us.
37:28
They've attacked me and impeached me, arrested me, and they even tried to kill me, I guess.
37:34
They definitely did, sir.
37:35
But with you up by side, we've won every single barrel.
37:38
We have won every battle.
37:41
They can't believe it.
37:42
They say, oh.
37:45
Okay.
37:46
All right, look, I'm going to stop right here.
37:48
I don't try to be overly MAGA on this radio station or on shows in general, but one thing
37:54
I really like about Donald Trump, the person, or President Trump, the individual, is how
38:00
happy he is when he wins against bull crap.
38:04
I think I almost connect to that personally, and I bet you a lot of people do.
38:08
bull crap that happens in your everyday life when you somehow rise above it, when
38:13
you somehow succeed while all the crap is surrounding you, you feel great and
38:18
President Trump is the type of real person that demonstrates that feeling
38:22
publicly. Because there are some people who pretend it's not happening. They'll
38:26
go like, you know what, I don't need to celebrate a win when people were
38:29
throwing swords at me. I can just move on. I can lift my head. I can round the bases
38:34
after the home run and pretend I hit them all the time. And then there's
38:37
people who don't do that. And in the world of baseball, I actually kind of hate it. I
38:41
wish that everybody would go back to putting their head down and running around the bases.
38:44
But in this society, in this world of the personal attacks that come after you, when
38:49
you defeat them, you feel as good as Trump feels. And I've always liked that about him.
38:53
I've always thought that was kind of an incredible aspect of how he carries himself and how he
38:58
even debated people. Like when he would do debates against Hillary Clinton or someone
39:02
else and he'd be standing there and saying, you're the corrupt person, not me. And it
39:06
It sort of silenced the room.
39:07
The problem was that the Democrats couldn't argue that the things that he was accusing
39:11
Hillary of weren't real.
39:13
They weren't true.
39:15
And people didn't talk that way back.
39:17
When they were accused of being the bad guy, they just sat there and listened and then
39:21
tried to take the higher road and Trump doesn't do it.
39:24
And I do love that it's probably the East Coast thing.
39:27
It's the East Coast connection there of being a guy that lived in New York for so long and
39:31
me being a guy born and raised in Jersey just outside of New York City.
39:35
The place itself, horrible politically, but the lessons you learn from a Houston, New
39:42
York, any big city, the struggle that's different there and the success of it, I think those
39:47
lessons are valuable and I think Trump definitely shows them often.
39:50

41:26
You know, we live in a world of information overload,
41:29
but always consider the source.
41:31
And these are not generally going to be from your big bank
41:34
or a random offer that comes across your screen.
41:37
Remember, you're always going to get a better deal
41:39
on one that you go looking for than one that comes looking for you.
41:42
You need to deal with somebody who gives a you-know-what
41:45
whether or not you're happy in the end.
41:47
At Baker Mortgage, we do it right.
41:49
We haven't been around for 68 years because we're lucky.
41:53
We don't sell CDs, insurance, or anything else.
41:56
We just provide a great mortgage experience.
41:59
Isn't that what you're looking for?
42:01
Call us at Baker Mortgage. I promise you'll be glad you did.

kscv mornings oh yeah on the voice of texas my name is Craig Coglianese
42:26
Wayne Dolcefino jaffino is on special assignment i know that chris x talks about it the afternoon a lot
42:32
you can't hear the music on the social media stream so when we react to it when we enjoy a bump
42:38
Russell just played a great song coming back from the show.
42:41
You have no idea why I'm screaming and yelling a little bit actually.
42:43
You have no idea why I'm amped because you can't hear the thing that I can hear and I can't help it.
42:47
All right, before we get out of here, we're going to do another version of what I like to call
42:52
quick four-ish or rapid fire.
42:55
These are not necessarily the most important or serious topics of the day,
42:59
but darn it, I'm going to have fun talking about them.
43:02
It's National Taco Day.
43:04
Only 2% of Americans have never had a taco, which is hilarious.
43:07
It's also Taco Tuesday, which I've never celebrated on purpose.
43:12
I've eaten tacos on a Tuesday.
43:13
I've eaten them on a Wednesday.
43:14
I've never done it because of what day it is.
43:16
I've done it because tacos are delicious.
43:18
But I love that only 2% of people
43:20
have never had them here in our country.
43:23
53% of Americans prefer soft to hard shell tacos.
43:26
They're wrong about that.
43:28
I think hard shell are actually better.
43:29
I think corn tortilla is better across the board.
43:33
That's a very Mexico thing.
43:35
OK, so.
43:36
OK, hold on.
43:36
Here we go.
43:38
I do two hours. I talk about sports. Nothing makes Russell want to jump in other than tacos.
43:43
Okay, but you're talking, you like to crunch your tacos better than soft tacos.
43:46
I do, but it's because they're corn and not flour that's one of the reasons.
43:50
The one reason I like the flour is I can stuff more meat and more stuff in my flour tortilla
43:54
than I can a little bitty corn and taco.
43:56
Without it falling apart too, because the corn will fall, yeah I get it. That's true,
43:59
it doesn't taste delicious.
44:01
I stuff it in there and then it cracks and it falls apart and I will just crumble it
44:03
all up and have a taco salad.
44:04
Well, let me ask you this, Russell. Are you doing that because you want to pretend you're
44:07
not eating as much as me? Because I don't mind eating seven tacos. Because they're all
44:11
little. I don't mind eating 10. I don't need to eat two burritos and pretend I ate less
44:15
food. Is that what's happening? Do you want to just eat two?
44:18
You put it that way. That's what you're doing. Okay. All right.
44:21
I'll eat seven. I'll eat 10 of them. My wife makes me flautas at home, which are just the
44:26
rolled up taco. And then she fries it and it's delicious, man. And I'll eat like eight
44:33
of those and then I'll feel like a fat guy.
44:36
No, you don't have to be done.
44:38
You don't have to be out of the conversation.
44:40
Is taco the only thing you feel is strongly about?
44:42
What about the corn versus the flour tortilla?
44:44
I'm a flour.
44:45
I'm a flour but I'm a ... For taste?
44:46
Like a corn crunchy taco, corn tortilla chips.
44:50
I mean, come on.
44:51
They're good.
44:51
They're very good.
44:52
Is this the only thing you feel is strongly about?
44:54
Do people in Texas feel strongly about hot dogs or no?
44:57
No.
44:57
You don't care.
44:58
You guys don't care about the hot dogs.
44:59
It's a very big debate other places.
45:01
What makes it delicious?
45:02
Well, in Chicago, they won't put any ketchup on it because it ruins it.
45:06
In New York, they will.
45:07
I like chili and cheese and some jalapenos.
45:09
Jalapenos are great.
45:10
You put all the stuff.
45:10
You put the tomatoes.
45:11
You put the relish.
45:12
The Chicago dog.
45:13
I don't do the Chicago dog.
45:15
I mean, it's good.
45:15
I've had it.
45:16
You know, James Coney Island, a hot dog place here in town.
45:20
I've had some decent, decent, I've tried the Chicago stuff.
45:23
It's not bad, but I just like chili, cheese, and jalapenos.
45:26
You guys have portillos here in Houston.
45:29
You call it Portillo's, which is not what it's called.
45:32
It's called Portillo's.
45:33
It's out of Chicago, and you have a few of them, I think, in the suburbs, and it is great.
45:37
I highly recommend people go to Portillo's.
45:39
I met the man who owned the place before he passed away.
45:42
We did interviews with him.
45:43
Never heard of it.
45:44
Never?
45:45
Never heard of it.
45:45
Look it up.
45:46
It's in the suburbs.
45:47
It's a few places around.
45:48
I love it.
45:49
As far as the Chicago hot dog goes, it's the best one, and I think it traveled well here.
45:54
But the most amusing thing to me is that because it's got two L's, people call it Portillo's
45:58
Instead of Portillo, they do the Mexican version.
46:01
And like I met Dick Portillo, I met the guy.
46:03
He would be very upset to know that Texas is calling it the wrong things.
46:07
They're going to call it the right thing.
46:08
But I would suggest that hot dog before you tell me that you're not a Chicago hot dog
46:14
guy.
46:15
And if you eat that one and don't like it, then fine.
46:17
And you can get a cake shake with it, but just know you're begging for diabetes.
46:21
If you get a hot dog and a cake shake, you probably should go check yourself with a doctor
46:26
at some point later.
46:27
For anyone that doesn't know a cake shake
46:30
Portillo's is very proud of this we could have them in studio if you want I know the people we might be able to get them
46:36
Here to try the food. They take an entire piece of cake put it in the machete the milkshake machine
46:42
Blend it together, and then you drink that it's the milkshake normally disgusting
46:49
It's not it's delicious man disgusting
46:52
They, it's funny to watch them do it because like they're making a regular milkshake and then they
46:56
take out a slice of cake, they put it into the machine, they blend and keep going and you're
47:00
like that shouldn't have happened and then you drink it and you're, I don't know, I'm gonna get
47:04
them in studio, let me see if I still have the Portillo's contact and then we can do a live
47:08
Chicago hot dog test on the air. Have you guys done a lot of food tests on this radio show? I
47:13
know that, actually you know what, the show's almost over, this is probably a more fun thing
47:17
to talk about. Russell has been producing this show in this time slot for how many years?
47:23
Forever.
47:25
So, the most notable thing that happened on the station from a stunt perspective involved
47:33
Mobley, right?
47:34
Dr. Mobley and Dan Patrick.
47:37
Yeah, that was long before my time.
47:38
They did a vasectomy live on the radio.
47:41
They did.
47:41
They did.
47:42
I'm never going to be able to compete with that.
47:44
Nobody that's ever hosted the show will be able to compete with that.
47:47
I wonder what stunts we can do that aren't that one.
47:51
Is there any other one you remember the KSEV morning show doing that had success?
47:55
Not at that level.
47:55
Yeah, no, not at that level.
47:57
But have we done any other things?
47:59
Have we like showed up somewhere and caused a scene like Dolcefino is so good at?
48:03
Is there anything else we've done or could we do?
48:06
No, but you know there was a tradition we used to have here that started back with Ed
48:10
Hindi, the owner of Taste of Texas.
48:14
Where it was funny, him and one of his buddies, Bruce Lover, it was over Valentine's.
48:19
Okay.
48:20
And Bruce and I listen Kroger has the most unbelievable flower bouquets and
48:26
whatnot and it became such a big deal. Ed made such a big joke to us about it.
48:31
About your love of it. And then when Bruce brought some flowers and his wife Naina
48:36
Hindi saw the flowers and asked where that said it was the most amazing thing
48:40
she's ever seen. Yeah. They're like it's from Kroger so for several years we
48:44
We would go to a Kroger on Valentine's Day in the parking lot and do a live broadcast
48:51
from the Kroger flower tents.
48:53
Why can't we do that again?
48:54
Do we still have those relationships?
48:55
We probably could.
48:56
I don't think they probably wouldn't mind it.
48:58
Hold on though, I want to make sure about it.
48:59
You still think that the flower bouquets at Kroger are that good?
49:02
Oh, they're amazing.
49:03
Yeah, they're awesome.
49:04
They're awesome.
49:05
Why?
49:05
Why not go to a regular flower shop?
49:07
They don't do as well?
49:08
What is Kroger doing?
49:10
Did you ever decide what it was?
49:11
Just a better quality, better look.
49:13
I don't know.
49:14
They were exceptional.
49:15
I gotta say one last thing about this,
49:17
and I don't know if this is how this topic
49:18
was talked about before.
49:20
I feel like I wouldn't know personally,
49:22
I would feel like the only way that I'd know
49:24
is if I got them for the wife
49:25
and she thought they were better, right?
49:27
Like there's gotta be some part of that.
49:28
Like I'll walk in, I'll see the flowers,
49:30
I'll think maybe they look incredible,
49:32
I'll bring them home and I'll be told how I was wrong.
49:34
You know what I mean?
49:35
Like did the women in your lives
49:37
think that this was also true?
49:40
I mean, that's an important distinction for me.
49:43
I mean my wife likes the flowers from Kroger. I'm gonna have to buy them for her because she hates me wasting money on flowers
49:48
Cuz I look out there, but nice but uh
49:52
Your belief that they're like one of the best flower shops did I do that's what when we were dating when we were dating before
49:58
We got married and I would take her flowers. That's why I go get my flowers. That's awesome, dude. That's awesome
50:02
I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna I'm not gonna tell the missus where they're from. I'm gonna get some Kroger flowers
50:07
I'm gonna bring them home and if Betty likes it
50:09
I you know what I also used to do a thing on another version of a show I did
50:12
It was Spanish word of the day. My wife is born and raised in Mexico
50:16
And she's lovely. If I ever have her on the air, she becomes so popular so quickly.
50:21
There was a radio show I did in Illinois. People would call in during Betty's segment and talk to her.
50:27
They'd call in on the radio and they'd be like, hi Betty. And they wouldn't care that I was there at all. It was amazing.
50:32
But anyway, we used to do like a Spanish word of the day segment and it would change from that
50:36
to what Betty was right about that I was wrong about recently.
50:39
She'd always bring it up. She'd be like, this topic that we were talking about, Craig, I was right and you were wrong.
50:44
I wonder if the flowers and the Kroger would be another thing if like she'd agree with you guys and think they're amazing and
50:50
I would have to eat my words and doubting that that's true. I don't know why I doubt that that's true
50:54
Kroger is a great shop. I'm sure it's a great shop
50:56
It's probably they have $20 off on your first floral arrangement order right now
51:01
Online as long as it's 75 bucks or more. So this seems great, but I don't know why I can't believe it
51:06
I probably need the missus to tell me you're right next time you go to cover
51:09
Just make sure you stop in the floor
51:10
Take a look grab some flowers bring them home to the missus and then be told how wrong I was again
51:15
Should I do the Spanish word of the day again, or we don't need it in Texas?
51:22
That's what she said to everywhere else I've done it it's like more interesting but here a decent amount of our audience probably know
51:29
Do you know all the Spanish bad words? I do. Okay. Is that a Texas thing? Does everybody in Texas know all the Spanish bad words? I
51:40
school and you know grade school I mean my kids are taking it now so I okay though I know some
51:46
other appropriate words yeah and I know some appropriate words too I know all the bad words
51:49
but that's just because I get them yelled at me occasionally all right before we get out of here
51:53
I know we only have a couple minutes left I appreciate this we're gonna brainstorm stunts
51:56
live in the air with Wayne Dolcefino who I think you know what's the funniest part about this
52:00
Russell out of all the guys that could have been picked to co-host this morning show with me
52:05
Wayne's gonna be the most down for some sort of publicity stunt, I think.
52:10
I'm just assuming he won't do anything that'll harm his credibility.
52:15
But if it's something goofy and silly and it gets his attention, I think Wayne will
52:19
be there before even you and I showed up.
52:21
I think he'd be the first person to go, right?
52:23
Probably so, probably so.
52:25
That's an amazing win for us, is that we have a guy who's gonna wanna do...
52:29
He'll probably even do like if I told him to dress up as a mascot and go somewhere that
52:34
he'd do it.
52:35
Russell's nodding his head. That's very exciting.
52:37
That's it. That's the show. We'll check with Wayne tomorrow if that's true.
52:40
And I'll check the floral arrangements at Kroger on my way home today.
52:44
Talk to you next time on The Voice of Texas KSEV Radio.
