• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Of Babe Ruth, which people think is crazy. But nonetheless,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: if you're watching there, you're seeing me do this remotely.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: We're testing something out, especially since tomorrow. We will be
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: at the Faith Fest in Austin, which I'm very much
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: looking forward to. I think the biggest reason that that
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: should be a fun event for a lot of people
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: is because Brandon Gill will be there.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: That's not the only reason.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They have a tremendous amount of awesome speakers, a lot
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of things that people should go to. The event is
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: actually Saturday and Sunday. You can still get tickets. I'll
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: probably throw more of that information out. And they are
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: sponsoring our trip tomorrow. So tomorrow's show will be sponsored
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: by the Texas Faith Festival. But nonetheless, I am very
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: excited to be there and certainly to interact with many
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of the people that are there. But because of that,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we're doing today's show from home. If we have any
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: technical issues, which I hope we don't, I immediately apologize
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in advance to Russell because that's stressful on his end
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: because he has to fix all this stuff. Like, if
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I go down where I am now, I'm just at home.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: And then, Russell, you have to do all this stuff.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You have to host the show. You have to do
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: all the commercial breaks. But you're used to this.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Like, Sal Sato, how many years was Sal Sato on KSCV?
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: What, 14, 15 years?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: 14, 15 years. And he did the show a lot,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: not from the studio. So this is more normal for
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you than when I was sitting across the.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, big time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, because even the previous host, the great Ed Hendy,
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: who sat in here for years, he too did the
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: show from his home.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I don't have to go there. If you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: guys don't need me there, I don't have to. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: can sit right here. And everything's fine on your end?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: We have no technology issues so far? Or am I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: jinxing it? I might be jinxing it. So I think
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we're fine.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But anyway, all right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: A lot of things to get to, a lot of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. I am thrilled, as I said,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to be here and to be a part of the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: show all the time, this morning show that we do.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I need to meet Ed Hendy. I still haven't met
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the man, and I do need to meet him. Maybe
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we can set that up somehow. But anyway, I have
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a bunch of audio that I want to play. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what's that?
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, I can.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're telling me that on the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: air or off the air, but I can absolutely give
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you more as much as you want. Is that enough,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: or do you want even more?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Is this good?
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I want more.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: More?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Listen, I have you potted up all the way to
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: get a level.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool. I can send you as much as you want, then.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Is this enough? Is that enough?
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Give me more.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, give you even more. All right. I can give
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you a whole lot of gain, and then we can
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: find the spot that makes... Is that too much? That's good?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: All right. No problem. No problem at all. Sorry about that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It's just a little button push for me.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I think I said a second ago I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: want to meet Ed Hendy, and I think we've got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to set that up somehow. I've been to Taste of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Texas now once, and it is delicious. It's an incredible
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: place to go eat food. All right, let's do stuff.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Let's actually do things. I love an interaction that happened
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: on CNBC. Joe Kiernan was interviewing a politician, a pretty
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: big one, in Ro Khanna. a Democrat out of California
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for people who don't know who that is, although, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: don't know, I assume most people who listen to shows
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: like this are very familiar with a whole bunch of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the politicians out there. But anyway, Roe was talking about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: something else, and Joe Kernan brings up Kiernan brings up
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the trading issue that is such a significant issue with
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so many politicians. You send somebody to D.C. and they
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: come back incredibly wealthy. And we would like that to stop.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I love the position that the politicians take when they
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: claim like I'm against this. I'm totally fine with stopping trading.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And then you ask them again a more pointed question.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But don't you trade and make a bunch of money?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And they try to avoid it. But Joe didn't let
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: him do it. I thought this was really, really great.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and play on that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: Well, why don't we have you here?
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: So I asked you about all your trading.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask you first. Okay, I can
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: fix that too. It's all in a trust, right?
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: And I said, well, do you view... A lot of
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: the Trump family's investment is the same way, and you
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: said you have not criticized them because that's the answer.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: I've said let's have a ban on all trading, but
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: I don't go after people personally. I go after the
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: Trump policies.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: What would happen if they banned all trading to all
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: of your trading that you do? You wouldn't be able
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: to do any of that?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I don't trade.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: You don't mean you. You mean your trust.
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: I don't trade, and everything should be in trust.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I don't trade.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Your wife does in a trust where you tell her
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: what to do and making sure that there should be
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: no conflict.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: Because I always get the Twitter people. I think we
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: ought to ban Twitter. But no, the Twitter people.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I've got to stop it. I love I don't trade. Yeah, no,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we know you don't trade. Your wife does.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And she trades via a trust that you set up
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for her, just like every other politician, where they're sending
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the money back. to somebody else. It's like, hey, the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: money's not for me. I'm not the one doing it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: We remember that Joe Biden's family, including, I think, like
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: his niece, who was like eight, had a bank account
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: with a crap ton of money in it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: How did that happen? What happened there?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I want to play it again, because I really think
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: this is incredibly significant to this conversation, that you have
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a politician being asked a pointed question, and he's trying
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to be very.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Semantic in the way he says no to it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And I do dislike a little bit the leniency with
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: which CNBC eventually.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Just relents because they could have kept pushing. But they
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: chose not to. But let's play that again.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: A lot of the Trump family's investments the same way.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: And you said you have not criticized them because that's.
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: I'm not. I've said let's have a ban on all trading.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: But I don't go after people personally. I go after
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: the Trump policy.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: What would happen if they banned all trading to all
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: of your trading that you do? You wouldn't be able
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: to do any of that?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I don't trade.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I don't trade.
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: You don't mean you. You mean your trust.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: I don't trade. And everything should be in trust.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: It's all in trust.
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: And your wife— I don't trade, and I have led
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: on banning stock trading and making sure that there should
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: be no.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Because I always get all this– The other thing that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you really need to understand about the significance of that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: discussion and the way that it's happening on TV is
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: if they did– and Tallarico has been one of the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: people who says this in his commercials.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm fine with a ban. I support a ban.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think we should trade at all anymore kind
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of crap that he says. But anyway, as he says that,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he knows that they can just let somebody else in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the family do the trading for them.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: They can't ban everyone connected to the family.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So the politicians know that I'm just going to extend
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the chain as far as I need to extend it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And this sounds the most mob guy to me out
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of anything mob guy that we could be talking about,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to be totally honest with you, because inevitably they're going
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to do the meeting where the politician sits down with
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: like the the second cousin of somebody and does the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: very whispery like you're going to make some money.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: We're going to make some money.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You do the trades. You set up the trust. It's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in your name, not mine. And I'll tell you what
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to do. Essentially, we can't really stop them in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: world of trading with insider information with a lot of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the suggestions that Democrats make to block it. They know
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that they're just going to create a loophole and they're
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: going to create a a optic version of claiming that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that they're no longer doing the thing that they're definitely doing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: They just want to do it a little bit smarter.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And this is, to me, a big, big part of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: what should inevitably be the way that we discuss Tallarico
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and his positions on certain issues, the ones that sound
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: like he's anti-democratic thoughts and beliefs, because there's those TV
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: commercials that you see where he says the stuff about
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the insider trading or this or that or, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I'm anti. People are going to donate a bunch of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: money from some corporation somewhere to me. But they always
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: create the loophole and they hope you don't look close
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: enough and you don't find it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And that if someone like me looks close enough and.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Finds the loophole and tells you about it, they're hoping
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that most of their supporters ignore me because they've been
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: convinced that I'm a racist, sexist piece of crap.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Like that's that's the whole.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Game is we'll create the Obama health care, horrible thing,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Obamacare that's going to hurt most of us. That's not
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: going to do anything good that they claim it's going
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to do. It's going to do a lot of great
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: things for all of their friends who are running these
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: pharmacies and these these pharmaceutical corporations.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But it's going to hurt everybody else.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And in the process of that, they're going to claim
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that they did something good. that it's always the way
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that it works. And so I just found that to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be really, really entertaining. I know it's an odd, maybe
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit more off the beaten path way to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: start the show. But to be honest, I know that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: we were also going to troubleshoot some technical stuff.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Right at the beginning.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to go too far with too much,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but we can take a break. After the break, we'll
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: come back. Hopefully we have a completely tech issue free show.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I just keep saying it, which I think like I'm
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: begging to fall off the stage and break my leg.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: But anyway, we'll see what happens here.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: There's a lot more to talk about in the world
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of politics, a lot to talk about in the world
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of just sort of more fun stuff, because I do
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: want to have fun on a Thursday. Tomorrow, we will
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: be doing the entire show from Texas Faith Fest. There'll
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: be a lot of great conversations. We won't do a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Veteran Voices tomorrow. We'll have to skip a week for
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that and be back with you with Veteran Voices the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: following Friday.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Talk to you in a bit.

  Speaker 11: Garage Door Doctor.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: If there's just one piece of advice I could give
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: every homeowner, it's this. If your garage door spring breaks,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: don't try to fix it. Those springs are under incredible tension.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: They're designed to lift the garage door that can weigh two, three,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: or even 400 pounds. When they fail, they can be
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: dangerous without the right tools and the right training. Hi,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I'm Tommy Mello, CEO of Garage Door Doctor. The good news,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: most spring replacements are very straightforward when performed by an
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: expert technician. We use high-quality springs designed to last a lifetime.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And we stand behind our work so you can have
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: confidence every time your garage door opens. When it comes
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: to springs, leave it to the professionals. Locally operated, focused
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: on serving families and the community better. Save $ 100 on
• 11:27

• 11:36
  Speaker 12: What kind of home do you live in?
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: We live in a two-bedroom high-rise condo.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: A three-bedroom family home.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: In the suburbs.
• 11:43
  Speaker 13: A farmhouse on our family ranch passed down through generations.
• 11:48
  Speaker 12: It doesn't matter where you live or what kind of
• 11:51
  Speaker 12: home you have. You all have one thing in common.
• 11:54
  Speaker 12: Gina Hinojosa voted to increase your property taxes. Not once,
• 11:58
  Speaker 12: not twice, but 40 different times Gina Hinojosa voted to
• 12:03
  Speaker 12: raise your property taxes. If she has her way, you'll
• 12:06
  Speaker 12: be priced out of your own home. Gina Hinojosa is
• 12:10
  Speaker 12: too radical to be governor of Texas. Luckily, Governor Greg
• 12:14
  Speaker 12: Abbott has a better plan.
• 12:16
  Speaker 14: We have to stop the insanity and instead give you
• 12:21
  Speaker 14: a different property tax relief that will do more than
• 12:24
  Speaker 14: cut your property tax bill in half forever. You're going
• 12:27
  Speaker 14: to be able to live in your home for the
• 12:29
  Speaker 14: rest of your lives without being priced.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Out of it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 12: Greg Abbott, governor.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.
• 12:37
  Speaker 13: At O'Hare & Company Real Estate, we believe there are
• 12:39
  Speaker 13: people in our country and other countries that are trying
• 12:42
  Speaker 13: to chip away at our freedom. We are taking a
• 12:44
  Speaker 13: stand against the tyranny that is happening and want to
• 12:46
  Speaker 13: protect what our veterans and forefathers have fought and died for.
• 12:50
  Speaker 13: Texans are independent thinkers, self-reliant, and bold. If you want
• 12:53
  Speaker 13: a real estate company that has a backbone, give us
• 12:56

  Speaker 2: KSEB Morning. We are the Mob Guys. My name is
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Craig Colonnade. Wayne Dolcefino is on special assignment. I am
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: broadcasting from my home studio, which you can see if
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: you go to any of our social media channels.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Facebook is usually active when Wayne's here. It's not active today.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But Rumble, YouTube, and XR. And I should start saying
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: this on the radio or wherever people are listening to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: this on our app, our web stream.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: You can interact with us on those social media channels.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: If you send a message, I can monitor them and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I can start throwing your comments on the air. That
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: might be a good way to start to encourage more
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: people to not just consume our digital product there, but
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: actually talk to us.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It might be an easy way.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like texting a radio station.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: You can do it. It might be a lot of fun.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I want to play some audio of Tom Holman.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I think this is a really great point that Tom
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: is making that the left seems to hate for very
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: dumb reasons. But Tom is talking about the amount of
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: people who've actually been deported from this country and the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: significant majority of them have records that are far beyond
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: just being here illegally. It's easy to make the argument
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to anyone that says someone who's deported and the only
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: crime they committed was that they're here illegally is still criminal.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Like the left pretends that's not a crime.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: That's like a get out of jail free card in
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Monopoly or something. But if you want to go beyond that,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: if you actually want to have a conversation about the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: amount of people who are doing other bad things, it's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a significant, significant portion of the people that we are
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: sending back home, wherever home may be.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: Immigration system.
• 15:11
  Speaker 16: I want to remind her, ICE has arrested hundreds of
• 15:14
  Speaker 16: thousands of public safety threats and removed the amount of
• 15:19
  Speaker 16: our neighborhoods and communities, making this country safer. Over 60%
• 15:23
  Speaker 16: of ICE arrests are criminals. That's just a stone cold fact.
• 15:28
  Speaker 16: Hundreds of thousands removed from the country, which you see
• 15:30
  Speaker 16: the crime rate going down. It's a lot to do
• 15:32
  Speaker 16: with it. Plus, ICE is in charge of narcotics investigation,
• 15:35
  Speaker 16: drug smuggling investigation, investigations revolving technology being sworn on. you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 16: smuggled out of the country, given to our enemies to
• 15:43
  Speaker 16: be used against our war fighters that do human trafficking investigations.
• 15:47
  Speaker 16: So ICE is more than immigration, first of all. If
• 15:49
  Speaker 16: you want to abolish ICE, start by abolishing Congress, because
• 15:53
  Speaker 16: they wrote the law that ICE is enforcing. ICE isn't
• 15:56
  Speaker 16: making this up. They're enforcing it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: You know what's bad about that, by the way? As
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he says, abolish Congress, a bunch of the left wants
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to do that. They want to upend the entire system.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: So that's not going to be something that lands on
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: deaf ears on the Democratic side of the aisle. Republicans, conservatives,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I think just simple, logical people understand we can't abolish.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Everything that exists within our government. But I do love
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that he said it.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: He goes, if you want to abolish ICE, then go
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: ahead and abolish Congress entirely. But it's that first comment, too.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And I'll be fair, or at least I'll be a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: little critical is probably the right way to.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Say it to Holman.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He describes 60 percent of the people who are here
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: illegally as criminals, not 100. And again, it is 100
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: because you've broken the law when you came into the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: country without the right to be here. You stayed longer
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: than you were supposed to. But he uses the left's
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: language to describe the amount of people who are actually
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: guilty of quite a bit more.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And that is, and I'll continue to say it, fairly important.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: in this discussion.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And it's not something that people on the left even
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: want to acknowledge or admit.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: They want to.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: 100% ignore that type of reality and just barrel toward
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a version of let's swing the border wide open again,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: especially if they win Texas. To be honest with you,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I know we've said this before, but I'll say it again.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: If somehow Texas does flip blue, regardless of what data
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: suggests that maybe people are just mad at Trump or something,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and I don't think that'll happen. I do think Paxton
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: will win. I've seen the recent polling. I know it's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: within one percentage point. I also think polls are by
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and large stupid. And I've told anyone on these radio
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: shows that I've done at this station, this one and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the ones before it, that they even admit that. The pollsters,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: if you look up the data online, admit that they're
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: only right about 30 percent.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Of the time.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame batting average in the world of baseball.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Terrible for anything else. A significant F in the world of,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you know, you go to go to school for this.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But anyway, 30 percent of the time they're right within,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I think, just a month of the election.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: So even before that, it's worse. But that's the best
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: they do.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Up until we're a couple weeks out in which some
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of the polling starts to get closer. But even then, 50,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: 60 percent of the time is the absolute best possible
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: scenario for most of those polls. They're essentially pretty much
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: always wrong, which is amazing to think about because of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: how often people talk about them in.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: A lot of political places, because we want insight. I'll
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: explain that. Let me go ahead and explain that real quick.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: We want me, people that do what I do for
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: a living, to believe that we have a grasp on
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: what will happen based on data. We don't just make
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: stuff up, whatever we're accused of, we don't. And some
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of the best data we have are the polls that
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: call a few thousand people, and then the ones who
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: actually answer the question, which are more likely to be
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Democrats than conservatives. If a pollster calls me, I'm going
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to hang up on them. And most other people like
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: me will do that. So that's why we don't have
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: our number represented as well.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: As it should be.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But anyway, They call, they give us a few thousand people.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: They tell us what they think the error rate will
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: be or the margin of potentially being wrong about this.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: And then, boom, that's it. We put that out there.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I read that. I pretend I know some things.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I would sad about that version of perpetuating a belief
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: beyond just, say, the pollsters who might be biased in
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: how they're creating the poll to begin with, and some are.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: But the actual problem there is it's so disconnected from
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: from just talking to people.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: And in a better way, and I think.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of radio hosts or broadcasters who
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: do this, a lot of them work at this radio station.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: You go and you talk to people.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: At the Texas Faith Fest, and then actually I was
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: texting Senator Paul Betancourt and he was joking about me
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: maybe going to the Trib Fest, which is a pretty
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: hardcore Democratic thing. I think even Tallarica will be there.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And it's the same weekend. I suggest you go to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the Texas Faith Fest in Austin on Saturday and Sunday
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and But the Trib Fest is also there. And again,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I could break into some of these conversations, maybe ask
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: some questions of some of these people.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I could even try to get a press pass.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: But I just think it's funny because they'll all probably
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: be talking about how great their ratings or their poll
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: numbers are and how excited they are to maybe flip
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: some stuff. And again, these are really the only ways
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that you actually interact with people. So I just want
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to talk to the attendees. that are going to FaithFest
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: or going to maybe TribFest. Maybe I'll stand outside it
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: with a microphone for a bit. Maybe I'll pull a
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Wayne Dolcefino. I wonder if the station's okay with that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I can ask Russell on the air, if I go
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to TribFest and cause a scene, am I in trouble
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: with the radio station or not?
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Is that a yes or a no? I probably wouldn't look.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Very good for you.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Was that?
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Said it probably wouldn't look very good for you.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Well, but what if it's just like me, you know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: getting in trouble by yelling at Tallarico?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: There's got to be a way where I can make
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: it look OK, right?
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess that would be OK. OK. I mean,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: don't go out there and make an ass of yourself.
• 21:12
  Speaker 17: No, no, no.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I want to pull a Dolce Fino, man.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I want to do the investigative reporter thing outside the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Trib Fest where all the Democrats are and And scream
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: some truths at him and see what happens.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: And then maybe, you know what would be funny about that?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: If I got arrested, which is an odd thing to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: say on the radio, I think the only person that
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: would be proud of me would be Wayne Dolcefino. Because
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: he has been arrested a tremendous amount of times. Do
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you think I'm right about that?
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. I love the way that Russell just said that.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, don't do that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I heard the don't do that in the background of
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the yes that you just said. But I kind of
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: want to make Wayne proud of me. I'll probably ask
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: him tomorrow about that if he thinks that it's a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: good idea to get arrested at Tribfest.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to get a terrible answer.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the point I was making before I got
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: very distracted by something that entertained my mind is that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of people in Austin
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: on two different sides of the political aisle. A lot
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: of people at the Texas Faith Fest will be people
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: that are likely to vote for Ken Paxton or at
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: least likely to vote for a lot of Republicans. And
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of people at the Tribfest are all going
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to vote Democratic. So it'll be an interesting thing to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: compare the attendance of one, the attendance of the other,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and also just the conversations that happen, because that's so
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: much more valuable than, say, poll numbers. That's so much
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: more valuable than any sort of discussion we want to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: have about some pollster that claims that they know stuff
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: that they actually pretty widely admit they don't know up
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: until a couple weeks before the election. And even that,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: as I said, don't actually fully grasp. So it'll just
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: be entertaining to see. And I think it'll be a
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: valuable conversation to be had with the people there. And
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: maybe I'll do some of that. Because I'll say one
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: more thing, and I know we're up against another break.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: The Faith Fest is doing a great job of organizing
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: different interviews for me with the attendees. Well, excuse me,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: with the speakers. With the prominent people who will be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: sharing all kinds of messages. And I think a lot
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of them will be pretty valuable to bring to you
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: next week if we don't do.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Them tomorrow during our remote show.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But Beyond that, I think that there's an opportunity for
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: me to just grab some audio talking to people and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: bring that to you. So maybe I'll do that. And
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: maybe I'll do that on both sides. Again, I'm really
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: intrigued with the idea of this. I'm going to bounce
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: these concepts off of Wayne, maybe via text or at
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: some point tomorrow, maybe on the radio. And then also
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: get a phone number for his lawyer, just in case
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I need it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 23:38
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: We'll take a break. We'll come back.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about some other serious stuff and then maybe
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: do a little bit more silly stuff. This is KSEV Mornings,

  Speaker 1: This is the Mob Guys on KSED Mornings.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: My name is Greg Colonnade. This is Wayne DelCastino on
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Special Assignment, but he will be here tomorrow.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I saw him on Isaiah Factor last night on television,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: live from California, with a fancy vehicle and also a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: fancy lady in the backseat of the car that one
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of the other hosts joked about. I think it's just
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: one of his producers, but it was funny to hear
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: How awesome, how Hollywood or just, you know, I don't know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of things.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Successful.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Wayne looked on television. So I highly recommend people go
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: check that out. Isaiah Factor. Wayne was on TV last night.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: It was a good thing. They did not mention the
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: KSCV radio show. Both Isaiah, the host of the show,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: didn't do it. And then Wayne didn't bring it up.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: And I was disappointed by that. I'm going to ask
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: him about it tomorrow. And he won't care. Wayne won't
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: give a crap at all. But I wanted to ask
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: him because it's not his job. It's the host's job
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to throw it out there. And that was a swing
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and a miss. But other than that, a really great conversation.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Before I get to more political stuff, I do want
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to have a quick conversation about the Astros and baseball.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: And, Russell, you can jump in on this, too.
• 28:38
  Speaker 16: Sure.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Because the Rangers might actually get swept by the Mets,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: which is hilarious to me.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: Tell us why.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: I hope it happens.
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Tell us why it's hilarious to you, because the Mets
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: are a terrible baseball team.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: They are a terrible team.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And so are the Rangers, apparently.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: So are the Astros.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Well, then, it's so weird, though, and I think we
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: mentioned this the other day, or maybe it was Jack
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: that I can't remember who said this to me, you
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: or Jack, that the playoffs is just a new season,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: so they can switch it on. The players who are
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: playing poorly for a couple weeks can play well. The
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Astros can be the best version of themselves, and they could.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Make some noise in.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: The playoffs if they get there. The noise that they
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: can make, it comes down to this, because they're in
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: a great situation where they avoid, in the divisional round
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: of the playoffs, the Red Sox, Yankees, and Tampa Bay Rays.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, they do.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: If they win the division, they're probably going to get
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: the White Sox, who they dominated in the regular season,
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: which doesn't mean anything in the postseason, but it's obviously
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: a less formidable team. And then if they win that
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: series in the wildcard round, then they face the Guardians,
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: who it's a winnable series.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And the other thing that's funny is that even though
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you said they're happy to avoid the Yankees, I'm thrilled
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: that we wouldn't play the Astros.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Listen, the Astros are your kryptonite.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I know they are, especially in the playoffs. Like, we'll
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: get swept if we wind up playing them in the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: divisional round. I don't want to see them in the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: championship round, but I was thrilled when I looked at
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: it and saw that if the Astros make it, there's
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: no way they're playing the Yankees into the ALCS. Because
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: it's good for us. We I don't want that. I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: don't want any of that. I don't want any of
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: that noise. But I do think it's interesting that the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: two Texas teams are trying to it's weird.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: They're in the same division. I know it's been a while.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I know this is not a new thing.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: But for anybody that grew up remembering the Astros playing
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: in the NL or just in general, I don't know
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: why the Rangers and the Astros are in. the same division.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's a mistake. Cause I'd like them
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: both to be able to make, well, they can make
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. One is a wild card.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I just like for them to make
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: it differently.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I think that the Rangers should be in the, in
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the central and they shouldn't be in the West, but
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: It's, it's just, it's a weird thing. Is that, it's
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: not weird to you. It's just weird to me.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: No, it's not.
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Cause it's been a long time, but it used to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: not exist. I don't know.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that the Mets and the Yankees,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: for example, uh, don't play in the same league or
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: they don't play in the same division so that they
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: could make it to the world series against each other.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Rangers Astros world series would have been a fun thing.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Although I doubt that'll happen anytime. Why can't happen, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I doubt it would have happened with the way the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: teams play. But I'm, I'm interested to see how the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: last few days will go of the baseball season, because
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I do think the Astros are sort of guaranteed to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: make it in. And I'm probably jinxing them too. When
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I say this, I'm doing a lot of that on
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the air today. because of just how bad the Rangers
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: are playing right now.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Think so?
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, listen, I hope the Astros can make it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's going to be tough, but, you know,
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: they're playing the A's at that minor league ballpark, and
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: you know how the ball can fly out of there,
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: so we'll see. I mean, if they do not win,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: if they lose out by one game against the Rangers,
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: I'll be pointing to this game last night that they
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: blew with that 4-0 lead.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that did not look great.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: But then you look over across the street, and the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Rangers are losing again to the Mets, so it didn't
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: hurt as much as it could have.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, man. I just wanted to talk
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: about that a little bit.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I do want to play some audio that I really,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: really like of Senator Kennedy, who's very funny, John Kennedy
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: out of Louisiana. He was having a conversation on Fox
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: about Iran.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Iran was in the news again.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, mostly because— and I don't bring to this show— a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: lot of the rhetoric that comes out of Iran.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: And I don't understand.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Why political people do that now. And I don't just
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: mean politicians. I mean, even people who vote on the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: left will quote what Iran was saying about how much
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: enriched uranium they had.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And they are the biggest liars of all the liars.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Like, why are some people more likely to listen to
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the messaging out of that country than our own messaging?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: You can't hate Trump that much. And yet a whole
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: lot of people do.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, Kennedy put it fairly simplistically and a way
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: that only he really can when talking about how terrible
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Iran is as a place and how much the people
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: there suck.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Let's play a little bit of that. What do you
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: make of what happened today at the U.N.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: And what you think could happen potentially with President Trump,
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: the Iranian delegation?
• 33:13
  Speaker 21: I think that the people running Iran are reptiles.
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: Go, sir.
• 33:22
  Speaker 21: And they're part of a colony of reptiles.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 33:26
  Speaker 21: China, North Korea, Russia, and as I said, Iran. The
• 33:34
  Speaker 21: chief reptile, the quarterback, is President Xi in China.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Who is now in the United States.
• 33:42
  Speaker 21: You can't trust any of them.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 33:45
  Speaker 21: All four of them are the same. It's like the
• 33:49
  Speaker 21: same hooker.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to stop it there. That's a heck of
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a comment from Senator Kennedy. The other thing that's kind
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of relevant to that discussion or to that point is
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: that President Trump is meeting with Xi Jinping in China today.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: They're at a military base here in the United States.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: They didn't meet at the White House. And they're going
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: to be having pretty important conversations, I imagine, behind the scenes.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: But I fully agree with Senator Kennedy that he is
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: head reptile. And China wants North Korea and Russia and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Iran to continue to hate the United States, to continue
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to do things that benefit China and hurt us. They
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: want that system in place. And so it's it's not
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: going to change. And I do think here I'll say
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: this because I do think it's interesting. There's a lot
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: of people that believe that the optics of Trump seeming
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: to be nice to Xi Jinping right now. just like
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: he seemingly was nice to Zoran Mamdami the other day,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: those things are bad to many, many people on the
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: conservative side of the aisle because those things seem weak.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: But President Trump has always been and will continue to
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: be a dealmaker first. And a dealmaker knows that what
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: you say publicly and what you say.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Privately can be completely different things.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: If the public thing gets you an opportunity to get
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the deal you want, who cares?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: He does not care.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Trump will say one thing today and another thing tomorrow
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: about Xi Jinping. If he if he thinks he's got
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: a shot at a deal and then if he's told
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: no to whatever that deal might be.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: And I that doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: with Mamdami.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me with anyone because the way that
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: President Trump is going about it is different than the
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: rest of us.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to change my rhetoric, my discussion.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: How I believe these individuals behave, like Momdami or Xi
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Jinping or any of the above all of the government
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: in Iran, I can crap on them day in and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: day out because I'm not going to call them and
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: make a deal tomorrow on something or attempt to make
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a deal or hopefully force them into a scenario where
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: they actually have to make good on whatever that deal
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: might be. And I think a lot of times people
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: seem to reject or refuse to understand that.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I do also want to play this. I find this
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: to be interesting, too. This is a report. I think
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: this was on a couple different places.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I think I have the CNN version of it talking
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: about the lawsuit and the district judge who is hearing
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the emergency lawsuit from CNN, MSN, MSNOW.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Whatever the hell it's supposed to be called, Politico, because.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Trump has kicked them out of some press conferences, press
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: briefings and whatnot.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I'll just play the latest as far as the update
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: goes there. We have breaking news.
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: A federal judge, a Trump appointee, has just started to
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: hear CNN, MSNOW and Politico's lawsuit against the Trump administration.
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: The news organizations suing over the president banning their.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Access to the White House.
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: Yesterday, the Justice Department filed its response.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: To the lawsuit.
• 36:50
  Speaker 22: DOJ says the ban was due to some of the
• 36:52
  Speaker 22: outlet stories threatening national security. We should point out that's
• 36:56
  Speaker 22: not what we heard from President Trump himself, who suggested
• 36:59
  Speaker 22: that it was negative coverage that led to this ban.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Can't those two things be connected, by the way?
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I agree with the ban because
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I actually don't, although I do think it's interesting to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: go down the road of doing it. and watch what occurs,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: watch who stands with CNN, MSNOW, in solidarity, including Fox News,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: partly because to some of us that might be outing
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: them as still being more on the left than they
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: claim to be or being more willing to play nice
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: with a side of the aisle that we would like
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: less people in positions from a media standpoint to do.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: We want the media constantly criticizing the crap that comes
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: out of those places.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: The disingenuous way in which they call.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Themselves news and then wholeheartedly lean unapologetically to one side
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and crap all over Trump.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I did the stat with Wayne earlier this week.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: It's 90 percent, 93 percent of the coverage from the
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: organizations that were banned by Trump that cover him negatively.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: They barely say anything positive about him. And this is
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: at a time, again, to kind of bring this full circle.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: When you watch Trump act presidential by being nicer publicly.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: To Xi Jinping than I might want him to be, being.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Nicer publicly to Zoran Mamdami than I might want him
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: to be, because, again, behind the scenes, he might be
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: doing something else. Those are the behaviors, as Scott Jennings
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: pointed out in audio I played yesterday, that that the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: left claims they want. They claim all the time, like,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I need this. This is what I want to see done.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: This is how I want Trump to behave.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: He does it. They refuse to cover.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: It because they don't want to demonstrate to the people
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: that are brainwashed by them, that he's not the evil,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: terrible person every second of every day that they claim
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: him to be, and that the people who voted for
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: him actually see these moments where he's not that way.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: But I find the entire fight and the discussion about
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: all of this sort of fascinating, because every so often, look,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, and I know we've got to take
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: another break. I have a few buddies that I think
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: fully worship at the altar of President Trump, meaning they
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: think he does no wrong. One of my friends has
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: several times sort of convincingly said he'd take a bullet
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: for the president because of how important he believes President
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Trump is to doing good things in our world, upending
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: the system of broken and corrupt things that happen every
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: day in D.C. But as they say this to me,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I occasionally push back because I don't dislike the president
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not the type of fanboy that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: would go to that level, though, regardless of what people
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: who listen to the show might think.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I don't really care.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: But I do understand that sometimes you do something publicly
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: that is kind of a game and you're really just
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: seeing who does what, who reacts to you and how.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: And my friends would tell.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Me all of this banning of CNN, MSNOW and Politico
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: is an intentional game. It's a it's an op that
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: we see what everyone else does and we know who
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: my friends are and who my enemies are. It's a
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: test and it might not last long term. All of
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: those organizations might be back in you know, press briefings
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: in the very near future, whether they go through court
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: or not to do it. But in the meantime, some
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: pieces will fall in certain ways and you'll be able
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: to analyze them. That might be all this is, to
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: be honest. That's at least what people in certain corners
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: of the conservative side of the aisle are saying. And
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I can't entirely reject that opinion or that thought. All right,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: we'll take another break. After the break, we'll come back
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and we'll do some lighter stuff because darn it, at
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: the end of each hour, I think we're going to
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: enjoy doing some lighter things.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Now, you can call in.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: You can be a part of the show if you
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: want to be. That's totally fine with me. I don't
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: throw the phone number out a lot, but I don't
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: mind people contributing that way, too.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: So 281-558-5738, 281-558-5738. KSEV Mornings, the Mob Guys on The
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Voice of Texas.
• 41:01
  Speaker 20: Every time I try to leave it behind me, I
• 41:06
  Speaker 20: see something that reminds me of.
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: What do we really know about James Tallarico? Tallarico said.
• 41:13
  Speaker 17: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 41:21
  Speaker 11: young children. Claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive.
• 41:26
  Speaker 11: Said the trans community needs abortion care too. and even
• 41:29
  Speaker 11: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 41:34
  Speaker 17: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: But it gets worse.
• 41:39
  Speaker 11: James Tallarico voted to allow biological men access to women's
• 41:43
  Speaker 11: bathrooms in schools and for biological boys to play in
• 41:46
  Speaker 11: girls' sports, saying some things are more important than fair
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: competition in sports.
• 41:52
  Speaker 17: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.

  Speaker 2: Hi, this is Michael Miller.
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: Join me this weekend for the Backyard Bay radio program.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: Now at our new time, Saturday mornings at 9 a.m.
• 42:50
  Speaker 18: Right here on AM 700 KSEV The Voice.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: KSEV Radio.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: This is the Mob Guys on your morning show on KSEV,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: The Voice of Texas. Thrilled to be with you on
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: 700 AM. Lots and lots of things to talk about.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I did like this. There was a viral post on
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: social media, on Reddit, the eight things that are wildly
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: overrated that people agree.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: We say we think they're good. They sound good. You
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: experiencing that you experience them. Not as good as you thought.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Number one is business travel. We will be traveling for
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the show tomorrow.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Not all that far.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: We're going a few hours in a car to Austin
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: for the Texas Faith Fest.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: But I love that people say that it's not as
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: amazing as you think it is.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: And the actual description from the Reddit post is everybody
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: thinks that like free business travel is the most incredible
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: thing ever.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: But it's not. It's a lot of long hours.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Even if you go to a cool place where you're
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: not really doing anything but working, you're just working in
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: a different spot and you're not getting the opportunity to
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: like go explore the place you're in. It's the polar
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: opposite of a vacation. So I do agree with that,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: that business travel isn't as great as.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: You think it is. It's not bad.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: And I think from the standpoint of getting to what
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: we do, go other places and be seen other places
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: is actually good. fairly valuable and good for us. But nonetheless,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: like it's not the magic thing everyone thinks. Number two,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: living in Florida. I came up on the list of
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: things that people think are great that aren't. I think
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: that's crap. And I think that's politically motivated for people
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: to say it because Florida is nice.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: A lot of great weather.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: It's not as great weather-wise as California. So I will
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: admit that even though California is horrible politically, that if
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I had to pick the climate of one over the other,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I would pick California 10 out of 10 times.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: But both are pretty good.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Number three, being a chef. People said that's wildly overrated.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: And I thought that was interesting. And I've known a couple.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: People professionally who were pretty good at their job. And
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: they hated to cook at home.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: The biggest reason I think that sucks is that even
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: if you're a really great cook, like in college, we
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: had I had a group of friends who one of
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: the roommates was not actually going to school. They knew
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: him from high school and he had just gone on
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: to a culinary career and he was a pretty fancy
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: chef at a nice restaurant in Chicago. And all the time,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: whenever we'd hang out with that group of guys in
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: their apartment, we'd beg that one.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Dude to cook for us.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Like, everyone was like, dude, you should cook something, man.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: We're going to throw this party here and you should
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: make stuff. And he refused constantly. He's like, that's my job.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: None of you are paying me. I'm not doing that
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: for you guys. Because he also hated it. So I
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: get why that one sucks. Making movies for a living,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: people say, is awful. The hauling around gear and everything
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: is brutal. Being some form of an artist sucks. is
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: something that people also said is way overrated, which I
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: thought was interesting. And then number eight on this list,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I'll skip a couple, is driving a sports car. And
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: that's just wrong. Every part of that is not true.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: It is as amazing as you think it is. Actually,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I remember on a business trip, I got upgraded to
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: a really nice V8 Mustang kind of thing, like the
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: newest version of a Mustang a couple of years ago.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: And that was a bunch of fun. No part of
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: that was bad.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, to be honest, that if the organization that
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: had hired me to do that trip was aware of
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: how I drove that Mustang, they would have made me
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: return it.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: But nothing bad happened. Everything was fine. But people are wrong.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Who say the sports car is overrated, hard suspension, uncomfortable seats,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: no space to put anything. But your heart is happy.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: But I'm also a guy who used to own a motorcycle.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: So that's part of the reason probably that that's as
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: fun for me. But I do like that, that people
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: threw out their list of overrated stuff, and a lot
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: of it is crazy. Also, Gen Z is asking millennials
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: to stop ending every text in LOL.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I have no idea how this lands with other generations.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming Gen X and baby boomers don't give a
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: crap about this at all. But I will tell you,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: as a millennial, I do send LOL a lot. because
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I'm used to it from, I think, the original versions
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: of chatting online, the AOL dial-up version of talking to people.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: And this was the best way to represent when you laugh.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: So I send it a lot. Apparently, Gen Z is
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: getting mad at millennials for sending that.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: And I think that's also dumb. I don't know.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Although you probably have somebody you know who does. I'll
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: admit something else on the radio. I'll shift it a
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: little bit. I am unique, I think, in my group
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: of friends. And I piss my friends off a lot
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: by accident when I do this in our group chats
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: or whatever we have, because I like to send every
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: thought as its own individual text. I probably do this
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: with email, too. I'll send like two or three emails
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: when I could have waited and sent one. But I
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: when I think of something, I like communicating it as
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: if I were having a conversation, as if you and
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I were talking and not doing something in the form
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: of of other media other than talking. So my friends
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: complain all the time that I'm the guy who will
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: make their phone buzz three times instead of once in
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the group chat. And I can't help it. It's the
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: way that I like to think. Individual thoughts feel like
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: they should be sent individually. And yes, that is so
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: wrong in the world of digital media. I wonder if
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: anybody out there also does that. I wonder if I'm
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: alone or if someone else would admit that they also
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: send a lot of messages when they probably should be
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: sending only one or two.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I can go to the phones. I see that we
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: got a call that came in.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Not about the silly stuff I'm talking about, but it's
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: about something more serious.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Sharon, what do you want to say about Harris County?
• 48:51
  Speaker 23: Hi, Craig. I'd like to say that I was born
• 48:56
  Speaker 23: here in Harris County. I've grown up in Harris County.
• 49:00
  Speaker 23: I've watched all the changes. I'm in the baby boomer generation.
• 49:04
  Speaker 23: And I am very concerned about county judge. And growing
• 49:11
  Speaker 23: up in years past, I just never paid any attention
• 49:14
  Speaker 23: to county judge because it was run pretty smoothly by
• 49:19
  Speaker 23: mostly Republicans. And now, in the last almost a decade now,
• 49:25
  Speaker 23: ever since we got Lena Hidalgo as County Judge, and
• 49:29
  Speaker 23: she came in as a big surprise because nobody knew
• 49:33
  Speaker 23: who she was, including the Democrat Party. She was just
• 49:36
  Speaker 23: kind of slipped in. Before, that was back when in
• 49:41
  Speaker 23: the voting, in the elections, it was sort of a
• 49:46
  Speaker 23: mix-up with Republicans and Democrats. You could vote either way.
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 49:50
  Speaker 23: And she got flipped in. So anyway, since then, I've
• 49:54
  Speaker 23: been paying more attention. And I admit, I've been very
• 49:58
  Speaker 23: ignorant about what county judge does, but it's a very
• 50:01
  Speaker 23: important thing.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's tremendously important to the money.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Here, let me let me jump in for just a second. Sharon, Sharon,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: give me just one second.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: The county judge is tremendously important to how we spend
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: our money in Harris County. Like the the control they
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: have financially of Harris County is ridiculous.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: But continue. Go ahead.
• 50:20
  Speaker 19: Oh, OK.
• 50:21
  Speaker 23: One of the things I learned from Orlando was that
• 50:24
  Speaker 23: there's 254 counties in Texas and it's the job of
• 50:29
  Speaker 23: the county judge in each county. to uphold the laws
• 50:34
  Speaker 23: of the state of Texas.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Also correct, yes.
• 50:36
  Speaker 23: And that is not being done here in Harris County.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: Not at all.
• 50:39
  Speaker 23: Under Democrat control. And so I'm very concerned about this election.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: And the most important thing, too.
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: Thank you, Sharon.
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: Yep, I know.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: The most important thing to say, too, in relation to
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: how this affects people as far as the midterm election goes,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Plummer would be even worse. A lot of people are
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: willing to admit that Letitia Plummer has a horrible background,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Letitia Plummer. And it's the kind of thing that demonstrates
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: how Democrats are willing to just go even deeper down
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: the rabbit hole of terrible than Lena Hidalgo. And that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff that Plummer is claiming she'd do
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: is so obviously different than what she'd actually do if
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: she gets that job. So I think the most important
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: thing to me when we have discussions like this isn't
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: just to reflect on the terribleness of the last several years.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: because luckily Lena's not trying to get reelected. But it's
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: also to demonstrate what would happen next. And Orlando Sanchez
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: is an incredible candidate as far as even, I think, honestly,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: to the people who were worried that someone maybe more
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: radical on the right would go too far. Like Orlando
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: is going to do the exact amount of things that
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: I think most of us on the conservative side want done.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: I've heard the speeches and the, you know, the.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Interactions he has with people.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: And I can just tell immediately, plus he's a veteran,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: which I happen to usually like and vote for people
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: who are. But but nonetheless, like Orlando Sanchez to me
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: demonstrates a common sense understanding of what can be done
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: from the county judge position, what should be done from
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: the county judge position. So he's not going to blow
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: the doors off in a negative way to people who'd
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: want to like anti vote for him. But he's absolutely
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: going to do a lot of the things that we
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: are not doing that we should be doing that people
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: on the left are pretending they they like that they
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: hide the bad, corrupt, terrible stuff. And as Sharon points out,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: also the refusing to just enforce the law. It's amazing
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: to think about the two candidates and how much deeper
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: we'd go in the crazy side versus how rational we
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: could go.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: And some people think that Orlando might not win this thing.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: He should. A quick break. A lot more KSEV, The
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Voice of Texas.
