• 1:14
  Speaker 7: the veteran voices guests website.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: So it is new tactics six. And I'll spell that
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: for you. N.E.W. T.A.C.T.I.C.S. New tactics.
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: And then just the number six dot org, because, of course,
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: they have your six of a new tactic six.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: And it was really, really cool.
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: To talk to Jim and get a better understanding of
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: how horses are a conduit to a lot of catharsis,
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: a lot of healing for veterans that deal with a lot.
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: And I think at times I just sort of walk
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: around with all that built up in them and they
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: don't really know how to release it. And it's amazing
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: to think I'm not trying to repeat the interview. It's
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: probably a podcast in the near future that you can
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: check out if you want to hear it again. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: we will be doing a veteran voices segment every single
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: Friday as part of this new morning show we're doing,
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: just like I was doing in the evenings here. But
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: it's really cool to think how good horses are at
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: analyzing people and reacting to people and how much you'd
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: learn about yourself being around an animal like that if
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: you're not around them a lot, which I'm not for
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: a short amount of time. And especially if it's the
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: first time you've ever ridden a horse, which I have
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: actually done. I feel like I'm Texas enough now that
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: I've done that at least a couple of times.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: All right, let's get to some news. There's a lot
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: of news. out there to discuss.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: I do think we can start with some things that
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: President Trump said in a recent sit-down interview with Fox,
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: and then also what he said in the White House
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: before that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: Let's go with that first.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: He did rename Lake Ontario as Lake America, and he
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: made a joke about also wanting an ocean. One of
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: the oceans might eventually be the ocean, the American Ocean.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: I'm fine. I don't find any of this to be bad.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: I really feel like the people who react so crazy
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: to this stuff are desperate to react to something angry
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: with Trump, because the thing that I'll say, and I
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: know Wayne and I talked about this earlier this week
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: when it was going to be a thing that happened
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: but wasn't yet, is none of the other countries actually
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: listen to us. So, like, Canada will still call it
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Lake Ontario. Mexico still calls it the Gulf of Mexico.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: And most of the rest of the world, somewhat because
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: they give the middle finger to Trump. I don't know
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: a better way to say that. So just say it
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: that way. Like, they won't listen, but we'll have it
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: on our maps here. And I find that amusing because
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: it is just trolling.
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: And if you're the type of person... regardless of what
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: you do, media will always cover it like it was
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: the worst thing that you've ever done. There's no reason
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: not to do a little bit of trolling. I blame
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: the media as much as anyone else for the way
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: that Trump sometimes handles himself because he's essentially just predicting
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: their behavior beforehand and reflecting it back to them, maybe
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: kind of the way that horses do.
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: But here's a little bit of Trump actually making the
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: announcement that we now have Lake America here in the
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: United States.
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: Um, The lake change, Lake of America, was something I've
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: been thinking about for a long time, actually. As you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: we took something called the Gulf of Mexico, we changed it,
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: and now it's very routinely the Gulf of America. So
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: if you think about it, we have a Gulf and
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: we have a lake. Now all we need is an ocean.
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: So maybe we'll have to change the name of the
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: Atlantic and or the Pacific.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: I love and or the Pacific.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Maybe we have an east and a west American ocean
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: and we just do it that way.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: And we just do everything based on our own geography.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Again, this is such a minute thing in some ways
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: where people want to get so mad about it. Similar
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: to the ballroom or any of the other things that
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: Trump has recommended we do, because on its face, people
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: really shouldn't care. And to be honest about the ballroom,
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: we should probably all be more supportive of it because
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: we do need it. We do need a secure place
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: in which to host people that might be extravagant because, well,
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: Trump's going to be behind it. But nonetheless, like even
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: if that part wasn't necessarily a component of it, we
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: need something at the White House so that we don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: have to hold events at hotels in D.C.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Where someone can try.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: To kill people because that did happen earlier this year.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: We need less of that. So a lot of these things.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: The Trump arch, whatever the thing is, I feel like
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: people get so mad, even the the way in which
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: the discussion was about anything that he's changed or improved
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: in D.C., even just security measures in D.C., the reflecting bond.
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: Like you name the thing, the reflecting pool, the stupidity
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: of people to be so mad about this stuff and
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: not actually care more about other things is.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Is sort of the point. It's sort of outing.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: And displaying how ridiculous some of this behavior is. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: also want to play this, President Trump saying that Democrats
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: are communists, which they are.
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: Here we go.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: We have communists. We have a party that's been infiltrated
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: by bad thought, by bad policy. I used to talk
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: about socialism, but this isn't socialism. This is largely Communism,
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: this is very dangerous.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: For our country.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying good guy, bad guy. I'm just saying
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: this is big, big trouble.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Big trouble.
• 6:33
  Speaker 11: Likewise, many others.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it really is, mostly because the policies are so
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: horrible and terrible. All right, let's get to John. John
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: has called in. He wants to talk about Lake Ontario. John,
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: what do you want to say?
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Greg.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: You know, I... I'm glad truly that you find Donald
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: Trump humorous and that you like having a troll as president.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: But the reason that people get so angry about it
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: is that they're offended by government having the power to
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: change names that government didn't name to begin with, such
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: as Lake Ontario, which the United States government didn't name.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: And I'm going to put you on hold for a second, John,
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: because I actually want to talk about something else. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: I'm going to get you to come back because we
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: had a conversation earlier this week. And I just want
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: to make sure that you're willing to admit something before
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: we go into whatever the new thing is. So what
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: I want you to admit is that the IAEA did
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: warn and then actually say that Iran was in noncompliance
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: in any of the investigations they were doing in 2024
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: and 2025. When you called in earlier this week, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: claim that wasn't true. So I want to make sure
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: that we're having honest conversations before I let you continue. John,
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: do you mind admitting that the IAEA was not happy
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: with Iran before they actually got to the point where
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: the Israelis or America attacked Iran?
• 7:55
  Speaker 12: Are you there?
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Yep, I put you back on the air. Do you
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: mind answering my questions?
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that didn't come up in our conversation.
• 8:02
  Speaker 12: The IAEA was raised.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: You said, okay, I'm going to put you back on
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: hold because you're lying again. The IAEA, according to you,
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: had found nothing wrong with Iran and the way they
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: were behaving.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: That's what you said earlier this week. That wasn't true.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: I did bring it up after I let you go,
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: after we got to the next part of the show.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: And so I just want to make sure that you
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: admit that the IAEA, in two instances, was unhappy with
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Iran and actually found them noncompliant for the first time
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: in 20 years, in 2025, before any sort of strike happened,
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: different than what you said last time you called in.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Go ahead. You're on the air again.
• 8:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: What you're saying is not true.
• 8:40
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: I've got to hang up on you because it is true,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: and you've got to look it up, and everybody has
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: to Google it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Go ahead and look it up.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: In 2024, the IAEA had warned Iran that they were
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: not compliant. If you're going to lie, you can't be
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: on the show, John.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: In 2024, IAEA warned Iran that they're not going to
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: be compliant, or excuse me, that they were likely not compliant,
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: And then in 2025, before Israel or the United States
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: attacked them, and that was the time where we actually
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: bombed facilities, not, of course, the war that's happened this year,
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: the IAEA, for the first time in 20 years, found
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Iran to be noncompliant with any of the things they
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: were supposed to be doing to both allow investigations and
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: then in any other way demonstrate that their nuclear programs
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: were not intent to create bombs. So, John, this is
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: a this is a rule. You have to tell the
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: truth to be on the show. If you lie, you
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: don't get to be on the show.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: George, what do you want to say?
• 9:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah, hello?
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Hello, go ahead, George. You're on the air.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 12: No, there are certain callers that call in that essentially
• 9:42
  Speaker 12: no matter what the topic is, they're going to go
• 9:46
  Speaker 12: in the opposite direction.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 9:48
  Speaker 12: And it's just constant and consistent and... And they can
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: claim that they're from, you know, they're they're independent or whatever. But,
• 10:00
  Speaker 12: you know, it's.
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: Not.
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: But I have to.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: But, George, I want I want to do this with
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: you because I appreciate what you're saying, but I want
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: to put this out there. It will be a rule
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: in the mornings that we have to tell the truth.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: And so if I catch a listener lying or a
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: caller lying, more so than if they disagree with me,
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: I don't care if you disagree with me, but if
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: you lie, I can't put.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: You on the radio. Does that make sense to you?
• 10:24
  Speaker 12: No, I agree with that 100%. Awesome. Everything I say
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: to you, I'm going to pull a regulation law rule.
• 10:31
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: And if it's just your belief, by the way, you
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: don't have to just have facts. If it's just your belief,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: just tell me it's your belief. Don't pretend it's true
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: if it's a lie. But go ahead. Continue, George.
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no.
• 10:43
  Speaker 12: For example, I believe Grimaldi pizza is the closest thing
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: I've had to New York slices.
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: Where?
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Say that again.
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: Grimaldi.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Grimaldi. I got to try that, man.
• 10:54
  Speaker 12: They got one in the Woodlands. It's the closest thing
• 10:58
  Speaker 12: I've had to a New York slice.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: I've heard about.
• 11:00
  Speaker 12: Marco's pizza, but I haven't tried it yet.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: What else did you want to say?
• 11:07
  Speaker 12: No, that's basically it. I just, you know, I don't
• 11:12
  Speaker 12: mind a little bit of divergence, but, you know, at
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: some point, you know, even when you disagree with somebody,
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: there has to be room for agreement.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:23
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 11:24
  Speaker 12: You know, it's like, but what about, what about, what about,
• 11:26
  Speaker 12: what about the, what about the kittens?
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: What about the kittens?
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 12: You know, so, all right, but hey, but thank you.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much, George. I appreciate that.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: And here's what I'll say, and this is a rule
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: for this show, for this morning show, as we'll conduct
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: it at any point with anyone that comes on. The
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: IAEA in 2025, June 12th, for anyone that wants to
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: look it up, said that Iran was noncompliant with their inspections.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: non-compliant with the demands that the IAEA had about how
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: Iran was behaving as far as its nuclear facilities were concerned.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: All of that actually happened before Israel attacked and the
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: United States eventually bombed their enrichment facilities, the ones that
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: were hidden under a bunker. If you don't say that's
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: true when you're on the air with me, you can't
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: go on the air. If you lie about a fact...
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: you're not going to be on for the day. You
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: can try again the next day, but truth is going
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: to have to be a component of those calls.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: All right, quick break. A lot coming up.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: This is KSEV Mornings with Greg Collins and Wayne Del Trofino,

• 13:23
  Speaker 18: it sooner.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I hear it all the time. Once the roof is replaced,

  Speaker 10: Friday afternoon.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Everything stops for you all.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: The Three Amigos.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Make an appointment every Friday afternoon at 4 on The
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Voice of Texas.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: KSEV Mornings.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: 700 a.m., the voice of Texas. Thrilled to be with you.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: So much to talk about. Looks like we're getting more
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: phone calls. We'll try Marco right now. Marco, what do
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: you want to say, bud?
• 14:42
  Speaker 12: Hey, Craig.
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, first of all, by the way, are you mobster?
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: Ah, here we go.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: This is, I don't even know what that was going
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: to be. I think we lost you, Marco. Am I
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: a mobster? I think that that's a fake caller too, right?
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: That's another guy that just makes up the fake voices.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's real? Okay, he's real.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: All right, Marco, call back in then. Call back in
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: because it sounded like the other guy. It sounded like
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: another dude who calls in a lot that also had
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: a fake voice. So I want to make sure that
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: I get the right people on the air. But if
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: it's El Marco, who that didn't totally sound like, then
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: I'd like to have him back on. so that we
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: can get him on the show. But I do have
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: some clips I want to play. And I apologize for
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: that because I thought it was somebody else. But let's
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: go ahead and do this. First, this is Scott Jennings
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: just crushing something in the world of CNN. I love
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: Scott Jennings. I love the way he behaves. I love
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: the way he acts because I think it's kind of awesome,
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: especially when he's arguing with literally everyone else on CNN.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: So here we go. Let's do this. Oh, wait, hold on. Actually,
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: I got to make sure that you can hear this audio.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: And it looks like maybe it is El.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Marco calling back in, because I totally thought it was
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: a different caller. I totally thought it was one of
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: the fake voice people that we had call in.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: So that's on me.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: That's not on you. But all right, let's try to
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: get him on the air again. El Marco, is that
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: actually you?
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: Hey, Craig, sorry. I guess my phone keeps wanting to
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: switch back to the speaker on the car.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Rather than on the iPhone. No, that was me. That
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: was my fault. Go ahead.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: You were saying something about me being a gangster.
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, anyway, well, real quick, the minor thing was, are
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: you mobster one or two?
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: I think I'm probably mobster two.
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: But the main thing was, on that whole agreement, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: they always try to say, oh, whoever was Gore, it
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: was the greatest thing to curtail their program. And I'll
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: be yes, because first of all, as I understood it,
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: and I've got to get the reading in front of
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: me to begin with, but that it never said that
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: you could never have weapons or that. It just said
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: that it was going to be pushed out like 10
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: or 12 years, as I understood it. It was never
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: like you could never have nuclear weapons. It was just a,
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: you know, whatever. And the other part of it was
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: they had some ridiculous relaxed thing that they had up
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: to two weeks if they wanted to do an inspection
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: that they said you couldn't come for like at least
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: two weeks under our terms. So it's like, well, if
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: they're doing things, they could always clean things up. So
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: to that end, if I'm recalling these things correctly, The
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: big thing is, how were they able to eventually find
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: out that they were, of course, not doing that? Because
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: did someone sneak in in between those actual inspections before
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: they had a chance to cover it all up? Do
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: you know anything behind that?
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: You know what's really interesting about you talking about this?
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: And I'm going to summarize what you said by saying
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: that Iran has been... wildly, wildly lied constantly to the IAEA,
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: to everybody. And I actually, I went home the other
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: day because I was really curious about something that I
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: thought I remembered and I wanted to make sure that
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: it did happen. But the director of the IAEA went
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: on PBS of all places back in March of this
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: year and talked about how much lack of transparency existed
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: between the IAEA and Iran all the time. Like they
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: have hidden bunker facilities everywhere. that they've had before where
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: they researched nuclear weapons. Israel raided a facility, I think,
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: that was hiding a bunch of their nuclear weapon research
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: that they had done that they tried to hide in
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: plain sight. Like, there's so many examples, and it's not
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: just Israel and the United States. The entire world seems
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: to understand and know that Iran lies constantly. And so
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: it's actually fairly funny to me that you would have
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: any conversation with any listener to a radio show here
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: in Texas or in the United States where they quote
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: anything Iran says, like it's even remotely close to being
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: accurate or true, which was essentially my point the other day,
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: is that even within these negotiations, we are reminded of
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: how impossible it is to get any modicum of truth
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: from the Iranian regime, from the people that we're negotiating with.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: They just constantly, constantly lie. So whether you're remembering any
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: one moment correctly or not, the vast understanding by most
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: people is that there's a tremendous amount of challenge to
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: getting Iran to actually behave and to follow the rules
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: we set for them to make sure that their nuclear
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: aspirations do not include a weapon. Does that pretty much
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: make sense as to what you were saying?
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that that sort of brings it to life.
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: And to that end, this is what blows my mind,
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: except for... No, I'm not like that guy that was on...
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: A minute ago, it's like for anybody that says, oh,
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: this was an unwarranted.
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: War that we started.
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: Like, why do you wait until the point that they've
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: got the nuclear weapons and then there's nothing you can
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: do about it like in the case of Korea? I mean,
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: I think that's such a– North Korea. I think that's
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: such a stupid, insane argument. It's like when they dropped
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: the first bomb on us, it's like, well, you should have. Well, yeah,
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: it's kind of late to be talking about that now
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: when a bunch of our people were killed because you
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: were saying it wasn't us. a necessary thing to do.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: I mean, if it wouldn't have been Trump, that's the
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: other thing too. I mean, the other, you know, previous
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: to him, all the other presidents, Republicans, Democrat alike. And
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: after him, would they have had the chutzpah.
• 19:53
  Speaker 19: To do this?
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: Because, you know, it's too late to do it after
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: the fact once they've got it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much for the call, Mark. I really
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: appreciate it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: I'm going to play like six minutes of the beginning
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: parts of the interview that PBS did, Frontline PBS, which
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: is a weird thing.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: To choose to do. And it's probably overly.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Focused on a discussion with a caller who seems like
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: just a complete jerk. But in all honesty, I just
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: want to play this because this is transparency. This is authenticity.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: This is not a right wing guy with right wing
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: opinions doing an interview with the leader.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Of the IAEA. This is, in fact, PBS doing this.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: And you can tell at one point, at least I
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: think I can, that the IAEA answers and that are
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: being given to PBS are not the ones they want.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: But the International Atomic.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: Energy Agency absolutely was not happy with Iran and absolutely
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: did not think that what Iran was doing was at
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: all compliant with their demands for access, their demands to
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: make sure that certain things were not, in fact, pursuing
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: nuclear weapons. I just want to play a decent bit
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: of the beginning of this because I.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Thought it was fascinating.
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: And I remembered it, but I didn't have it as
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: audio to play a few days ago. So forgive me
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: for that, that I had to go back and check
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: it after the show.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: But here we go.
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: This is a interview with the IAEA leader and PBS
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: from March of this year.
• 21:17
  Speaker 16: When we last met, you had talked about being blindsided
• 21:21
  Speaker 16: by the previous round of strikes. What was your reaction
• 21:24
  Speaker 16: to these new attacks?
• 21:26
  Speaker 20: Well, obviously, as director general of the IAEA, I'm not
• 21:31
  Speaker 20: informed in advance of military operations. So Of course, from
• 21:39
  Speaker 20: that moment on, we have been following this intensively. As
• 21:43
  Speaker 20: you know, we were part of a negotiating process. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 20: had been invited to participate in the two last rounds
• 21:55
  Speaker 20: of consultations, negotiations that were taking place in Geneva. mediated
• 22:04
  Speaker 20: by the foreign minister of Oman and with the participation
• 22:10
  Speaker 20: of Dr.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Kushner from the United.
• 22:12
  Speaker 20: States, special envoy Steve Whitcough, foreign minister of Iran, Abbas Rakhi.
• 22:19
  Speaker 20: So that was a pretty intense exercise, which obviously did
• 22:24
  Speaker 20: not come to fruition.
• 22:26
  Speaker 16: President Trump has said that one of the reasons for
• 22:29
  Speaker 16: these attacks is that Iran was on the verge of
• 22:32
  Speaker 16: a bomb. From what the IAEA knows, is that the case?
• 22:37
  Speaker 20: Well, I would generally abstain from commenting on comments, especially
• 22:44
  Speaker 20: from presidents. What I can say is that the situation
• 22:49
  Speaker 20: in Iran was concerning. Iran had not been giving for
• 22:57
  Speaker 20: quite some time the IAEA access. to places, clarifying.
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: Activities and a number of things that led us to
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: a place or a position where we lost the necessary
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: continuity of knowledge to be able to confirm that everything
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: in Iran was in peaceful use.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: So as to.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: I want to make sure people understand the answer that
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: was just given by the IAEA director, because he's being
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: very careful back in March of 2026. But he says
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: that for quite some time and the IAEA had decided
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: in 2025 that Iran was noncompliant, that they weren't being
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: given access to information, to knowledge and that they were concerned.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: And that based on the way and the behavior that
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: Iran was demonstrating to them, there was a decent opportunity
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: that what was going on. And this is the most
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: veiled version of. yeah, we kind of thought they were
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: going after a nuclear weapon. I'll play a little more.
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: Whether there was a short distance or a long distance
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: to manufacturing a nuclear weapon, I would not get into that.
• 24:04
  Speaker 20: But it is clear that there were some elements of concern.
• 24:07
  Speaker 21: Also, the accumulation of a very big stockpile of highly
• 24:16
  Speaker 21: enriched uranium, very close to military grade.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Weird.
• 24:21
  Speaker 20: Without any you know, justifiable reason. So all of these
• 24:26
  Speaker 20: painted a complicated picture.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's amazing about that too.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: And this is me trying to win an argument from
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: a couple of days ago with a listener where I
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: said exactly that. I said that Iran, from when Trump
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: took office to when Trump decided to attack them once
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: and then now we're at war with them. The biggest
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: change was the amount of enriched uranium that had gotten
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: close to being a nuclear weapon and the lack of
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: reason for it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: And the IAEA director said, Just said that, too.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: And the lesson in all this, outside of attacking one
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: individual who called into the show and lied to try
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: to trick you into thinking something not that you shouldn't think,
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: thinking something that's not true. And this is for him
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: as much as anyone else. Just because the messenger is
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: on the other side, don't assume they're lying. Actually do
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: the homework. Actually do the research. Read all the stuff
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: before you're arrogant enough to think that you know what's
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: going on. And make sure the stuff you're saying is true.
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: Because if not, you look like an idiot.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: Quick break. We're getting to Vince Colonese after this.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: He is the host of The Vince Show, which is
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: on from 12 to 1 every single day, Monday through Friday,
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: on this radio station.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: Probably talking about Iran, but a lot of other stuff.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Talking about Texas. Just thrilled to have him on the
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: show in just a bit. KSEV Mornings. Craig Collins, Wayne
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: Del Trofino, The Voice of Texas.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Where conservatives find their voice, the voice of Texas. Everyone
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: knows the BBB is the better business bureau, but depending
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: on what you need, it's the better plumber bureau, the
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: better auto mechanic bureau, the better accountant bureau. That's because
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: the BBB connects people with businesses they can trust. So
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: think of the BBB as the better check that business
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: out first so you don't get ripped off, Bureau. Be smart.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: Always look for the BBB seal because it's looking out
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: for you. And find a better business anytime at BBB.org.

  Speaker 7: on Vince Colonese, host of The Vince Show. Welcome to
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: KSEV Mornings, Vince.
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: Oh, good morning, Craig.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: How's everything going?
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: Great.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: How is the Rumble Show?
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: I know you do a Rumble Show for about an hour,
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: and I think you just signed off of that like
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: 30 minutes ago.
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it went so well.
• 28:53
  Speaker 22: It was great.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: And in fact, we were obsessing over your community this
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: morning because, of course, of course, the president traveling in
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: to do his big fundraiser to help get Paxton out.
• 29:02
  Speaker 20: Yeah, which is great.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: But the highlight, I would say for me, was yesterday,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: President Trump in the Oval Office using not to brag,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: but my nickname for Califrico, which I came up with.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I heard I came up with that. I know you
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: did in March of this year.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I think it was March.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: And ever since then, now, anytime anybody uses it, I'm like,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: got one, got one. So here's Ken Paxton using it
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: on the campaign trail. Got one. And now the president
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: of the United States. I'd say I'd have a pretty
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: good one.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: Now, honestly, Vince, you're crushing.
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: I think it's even in like a commercial that's going
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: to be coming up and playing a lot. They keep
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: calling him Tala Freako. So I think because Tala Wacko
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: was the other option. and yours was just better. So
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: you absolutely won.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: That's pretty funny. I like that.
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: That's amazing.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I also like low T, low T Tala Rico. I
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: appreciate that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: So actually, if you want to start there, let's have
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: a conversation about what's going on in the Senate race.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: President Trump was here. I think Fox News this morning
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: reported four.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Hundred million dollars.
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: Is sitting in some sort of super pact, but I
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: think a lot of money is going to be flooded
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: toward Ken Paxton because Republicans cannot lose Texas. And being
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: someone who lives here, I really feel like we won't.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: I really feel like it won't inevitably happen.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: But polling is too close.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: It's not making us comfortable enough, so we've got to
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: flood money. We've got to get more of the information
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: out there about how much of a talafrico he really is.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: What do you say to that?
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Texas is always such an amazing story because conventionally
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: it's kind of known as fool's gold for Democrats, that
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: they have this belief that every cycle, this is going
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: to be it, we're going to change Texas for years.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: The plan for Democrats was like, hey, if we change truly,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: they thought if they changed the racial composition of the state,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: it would guarantee Democrat power going into eternity. And it
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: was all just nonsense. In fact, especially with Hispanic voters,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: you know, this is like it's kind of a coin toss.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: If you're Hispanic, 50 percent are voting for President Trump,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: 50 percent for Democrats. So that was a foolish notion, clearly.
• 31:02
  Speaker 18: But here.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: They're thinking once again, well, this is our guy.
• 31:06
  Speaker 19: This is our guy.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I'm like, really? This is your guy? The guy who
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: thinks that there are six genders?
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Six genders.
• 31:10
  Speaker 12: Name them, by the way.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: If you see Talafrico, Craig, would you ask him, what
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: are the six genders specifically? Because I have no idea.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: I think I can get in the same place as him.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: Go ahead.
• 31:23
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, I hope you do, dude.
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: I can't wait to hear you ask that question.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: And then the other piece is, like, he just attacked Christians.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: He was just on a podcast or something this week,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: or at least the clip is going around this week,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: saying that Christians, anybody who puts that they're a follower
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: of Christ in their bio is actually a mean person.
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: A mean person.
• 31:42
  Speaker 19: It doesn't even make any sense.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: It's totally offensive. Last I checked, the majority of Texas
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: is Christian, and so they should punish Talafrico by telling
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: him he's not allowed to have this job.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: You know what's really interesting?
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: We're just getting into social media at this radio station,
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: which obviously is not a good thing in 2026, but
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: we're trying.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: We're still doing it.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: I put up a video, or well, our team did,
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: in which I played a very honest thing that Tallarico said,
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: and I ripped it apart. Because as you're demonstrating, and
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: I have that audio, maybe we'll play it a little
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: bit after this conversation with you of Tallarico saying that
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: all Christians are mean and villains and just crazy stuff.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: The amount of reactions we got from the left on
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: social media just claiming the thing I put up isn't true.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: was incredible.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: And I think I even saw one person say, come
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: on and fight this fight by giving us the policies
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: you're actually going to go after and not just tearing
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: down the opponent. But Talafrico is an insane human, Vince,
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: and it's his own words that they're pretending aren't true.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: I just don't get that. I can't perceive how someone
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: can get that far into their side that they watch
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: the person's face and mouth move and say the thing
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: that's ridiculous and completely antithetical to what Texans believe.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: And they're like, that's a lie. The right is coming
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: up with a lie here. Go ahead.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Well, this is I mean, look, the reality is like
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: that kind of reaction only is generated by people whose
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: only principle is power.
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: That's it.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: This is why, like in 90 percent of these debates
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: with the left are very hard to conduct because the
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: debates are so incoherent. They'll be like, hey, there's a
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: huge border crisis. And they'll say, no, there's not. And
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: you're like, well, I've got illegal aliens like pouring into
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: every crevice of my community.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: That seems like a problem. It's not happening. They'll just
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: straight up lie to your face. And then you'll put
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: a clip up of Joe Biden being guided off the
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: stage by George Clooney because he can't put one foot
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: in front of the other. And you'll say, gosh, I
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: don't think his brain is working. And then they'll say,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: that's a deep fake. And then two months later, George
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Clooney will come out in The New York Times and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: write a piece about how it's time for him to
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: go because Joe Biden couldn't walk across the stage. You
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: see how this works. The whole thing is meant to
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: be incoherent in order to pursue power at all costs.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: My other favorite part of how the left reacts, a
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: lot of people would praise George Clooney at that point
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: for being brave enough to tell us the truth three
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: or four months later.
• 33:54
  Speaker 22: Thank you, George.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you. He's like in his villa. He has no
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: idea that we're complimenting him. It's all so ridiculous. And
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: so the point is like, yes, of course. And that
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: clip that you're talking about, by the way, I don't
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: know how long you're going to play it, but just
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: so people understand. It's like it's like a minute long.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: It's not like some little cheap shot. We took him
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: out of context. No, you get every ounce of context
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: and you walk away going, this guy's kind of a scumbag.
• 34:17
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: How could this guy possibly represent Texas? Another big thing
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: that's out there that you've been talking about, I think,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: on social media just over the last half an hour
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: or so is something that Glenn.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: Beck helped break.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: But it's a big story involving President Trump, ranchers and farmers. Obviously,
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: I think this is an incredibly relevant conversation to the
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: state of Texas.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Do you want to tell us a little bit more?
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: I don't want to break it. I want you to
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: break it for us.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Well, look, as I understand, I'm not a rancher or
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: a farmer. I don't know if you're in that business either, Craig,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: but I do know that these ranchers and farmers, man,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: they really resent the way meat processing happens in the
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: United States. And the CliffsNotes version, apparently, is that there's
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: basically four of these locations that handle most of the
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: meat processing. It's very bottlenecked. It comes at the expense
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: of all these great farmers and ranchers across the country
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: who are very capable of doing this kind of food
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: processing on their own. But because of federal government regulations,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: they haven't been able to do that. Now, this week,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Glenn Beck interviews Donald Trump. And boy, I tell you what,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: people should hunt down this clip. It's great. It's on
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: my X feed right now. But it's an amazing moment
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: because Glenn, who is a rancher, he does do this, apparently.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: He says, hey, look, this is a huge problem. And
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: the president's like, well, explain what the problem is. Like
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: he's straight up, it's a weird moment because you can
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: hear Donald Trump move into Oval Office Trump, like the
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: guy behind the scenes, where he's just like, explain what
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: the deal is. And as soon as Glenn gets done
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: explaining it, you can hear the realization dawning in the
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: president of the United States that he can do something
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: about this. And so this morning, the fruits of that
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: effort have been born. And the president just posted in
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Truth Social that he is now moving to deregulate meat
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: processing in the United States, food processing. to make it
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: easier for small American farmers and ranchers to succeed and
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: not have this cartel stop them from doing that. And
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: that's an amazing story. I think it's one of the
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: biggest stories potentially in the country this week because it's
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: just a huge win for liberty. And it's a sign
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: when the president realizes something within his power to do,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: he'll go for it.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: Well, here's what's so important about this story too to me, Vince,
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: is how little coverage it's going to get most places
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: and how many people aren't going to know about it.
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: And so I praise you for being one of the
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: people that's breaking this and putting this out there on
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: social media. And I'm happy that you're on the show
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: just after this becomes a thing so we can talk
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: about it as well. And you referenced liberty because, yeah,
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: you're going to allow ranchers and farmers to process their
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: own meat, essentially. You're going to cut away a lot
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: of restrictions and make one part of a process that
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: they're more than capable of handling themselves, something that they
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: can do way, way cheaper, way, way quicker, and.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: Benefit all of us.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: And in talking about this, I think about the macro
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: topics Of all the other versions of this type of
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: story that have been true over the last two years,
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: President Trump has taken action on a lot of things,
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: has done a lot relatively quickly that has benefited us.
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: And yet the big focus, the big distraction is Iran,
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: the fight there and gas prices. That is the big
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: conversation in certain places and certainly by the left and
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: all of their media apparatus that exists to try to
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: distract from the winds.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: How do we get the winds through that barrier?
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Well, every Republican should do what President Trump is doing
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: right now, which is make this a referendum on Trump. Like,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I know the Democrats think that that's their big victory strategy.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Make it a referendum on Trump and we'll defeat him.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Where President Trump is basically saying, actually, let's make it
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: a referendum on me. What have I done? And just
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: off the top of my head, I mean, just the
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: basics of this list, the border is airtight. You could
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: preserve the food in your refrigerator with the American southern border.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: That's how tight it's preserved.
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: It's great.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: It's like the border is great. Illegal aliens are being
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: deported at records we've never seen. We just had another
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: record month. Prescription drug prices just came down by the
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: biggest drop. in a single month's time since March of 1963.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: That is meaningful. And of course, it hasn't really gotten
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: any coverage as the president's been fighting for that. Now,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: the murder rate is at record lows, truly. And you
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: can thank the FBI's initiatives for getting that done. That's
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: under President Trump. I mean, they're looking at all sorts,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: and native-born jobs are growing. We have net migration out
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: of the country. So if you're being honest, Are there
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: things that still are a work in progress? No question
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: about it. The president's trying to resolve the Iran conflict
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: every day. But are there massive successes that we haven't
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: seen in the entirety of our lives?
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: And every Republican would do well to actually be running
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: on that. And saying, I'm here to give President Trump
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: the backup he deserves so that the American voter can
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: have their will exercised.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: Well, and actually, to be honest with you, Vince, there's
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: also things that I don't even really think about that
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: I'll go home and my wife will be happy about
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: a Maha thing that happened. And Maha is all because
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: of Trump to make America healthy again. And Robert Kennedy Jr.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: There's just there's so many avenues to say, wait a minute.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: Like she hates Red 40. Betty does.
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: And apparently Red 40 eventually will be going away. That's
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: a win I don't even think about because there's been
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: so many of them that essentially is also the fault
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: of the current president. And yeah, you're right. I think
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: that it can be a referendum on him. I think
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: it also does have to be a discussion. And I'm
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: sure you're talking about this a lot on The Vince Show.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: about how radical and crazy the left has become. Talafrico
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: is called that by you and others because of the
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: ridiculously insane stuff he said. He's a DSA member without
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: admitting it. And there's so many of those right now
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: that I'm a little terrified that they're succeeding at all,
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: although I know primaries are different elections themselves, and I
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: hope many of these candidates widely fail. But what's your
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: reaction to how much more radical mainstream left-leaning politics seems
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: to have become?
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: It's just, look, they're all kind of running the vote
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: for Pedro campaign from Napoleon Dynamite. It's like, vote for
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: me and all of your wildest dreams will come true.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: And of course, the reason it It's a joke in
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: the movie is because in real life, that kind of promise,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: of course, is undeliverable. And the way that they intend
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: to use power is to deprive you of it. That's
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: kind of obvious. If anyone who's studied any of these
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: totalitarian ideologies, socialism, communism, knows that they have a body
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: count over just the last century, the numbers in the
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: hundreds of millions across the planet. So maybe we shouldn't
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: do that. And To be clear, you don't even have
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: to test, like, what happens if we get Medicare for all?
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Will everybody get great health care?
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: Okay, pause.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Before we get to the hypothetical, let me ask you
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: a really basic question. Did the Affordable Care Act make
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: your health care more affordable?
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: No.
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: Did that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Because, no, of course not. Your deductibles went up. Your
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: premiums went up. You can't see your doctor. You lost
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: your health insurance.
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: How about no more test runs of whether the government
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: can take over massive sectors of the economy? It doesn't
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: work out. It leads to human suffering and misery. And
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: less of your power is in your control and less
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: of your money.
• 41:09
  Speaker 22: Is in your bank account.
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: I think we're already up against a break, which makes
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: me mad, Vince, because you're great. What's coming up on
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: the show today? What can people expect when they hear
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: you at noon today?
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: We're going to dive into all of this. It's always, candidly,
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: it's always like a very free-form event because there's like
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: a million things that happen before I can even get
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: to it. But we do have, I've been going after
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: the flock cameras. I think in America, we shouldn't have
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: a surveillance state as a way to cover up for
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: the government's crimes against us. So, you know, that would
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: be a good thing.
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they deployed, what, 7,000 flock cameras to police departments
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: with no training, no guidance, no safety provisions at all.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: CNN even seemed to admit that. That seems bad.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. How about seal the border and don't release
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: the prisons so we don't need a surveillance state to
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: catch up with the crime that the government caused?
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like I read something in high school
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: about how bad it is to have a surveillance state.
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: I can't remember. I feel like people bring that up
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: from time to time. 1984 or something like that. Thank you, Vince.
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: You're awesome.
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: At Vince Colonese on social media to follow you. Anything
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: else we should know before we let you go? Anything
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: else you want to say?
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: That you're the best.
• 42:13
  Speaker 22: That Craig is the best.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: And everyone should know that and repeat it to themselves mindlessly.
• 42:17
  Speaker 16: Cool.
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: And I'm going to have Vince on this show a
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: lot because we're also family. And actually, apparently, my co-host
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: is an Italian, too. And he's also from the East Coast.
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: Apparently.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Allegedly.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Allegedly.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, who knows? They're calling us the mob guys. All right, Vince,
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: I'll talk to you later. A quick break.

• 43:29
  Speaker 14: with your income and are 30 to 60 percent less
• 43:32
  Speaker 14: than Obamacare. If Obamacare has you paying out the nose,
• 43:35

• 44:54
  Speaker 6: AM, The Voice of Texas. My name is Craig Collins.
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: You have Wayne Dolcefino, not here, but as a part
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: of the show whenever he's not traveling and being the
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: fancy person that he is. Thanks again to Vince Colonese,
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: my cousin Vinny, for being on and talking about some
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: of the stuff that's coming up. He previewed his own
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: show in a discussion about flock cameras, and I have
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: a flock camera thing ready to go.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: I also do.
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: Have the Talafrico latest and craziest that he said about
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: Christians and how they're bullies and villains. So we can
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: play all of that, actually, because probably the Talarico audio
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: is the most valuable to play first. But I like
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: that Vince was essentially teeing up the last few segments
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: to end the show without even knowing that he was
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: doing it.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: Great minds think alike. Here is a Talarico interview where he's.
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: Saying some crazy things about how mean and and how
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: villains are Christians, which is insane.
• 45:51
  Speaker 26: I believe that cultural Christianity is dead. That the Christians now,
• 45:57
  Speaker 26: from sea to shining sea, are the mean people. And
• 46:02
  Speaker 26: if it's not true in every case, it's certainly true
• 46:07
  Speaker 26: in the case of people who have power, who move policy,
• 46:11
  Speaker 26: who influence discussions culturally.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: That the Christians.
• 46:16
  Speaker 26: are the villains, are the mean people. If I see
• 46:20
  Speaker 26: follow of Christ in somebody's Twitter, I know they about
• 46:24
  Speaker 26: to say something wild. Is that true? Is cultural Christianity,
• 46:31
  Speaker 26: Christianity defining somebody as a good person, is that dead?
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it's dead. Uh, although your assessment is
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: spot on.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: Uh, I, I often, I believe.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: Hold on. I'll stop it right there.
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: Cause we, we got to get to a better version
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: of audio where he doesn't sound so weird, but you
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: can see it. Anybody watching on social media, that's actually
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: him talking and saying yes to it. Spot on that. Uh,
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: Christians are villains. Uh, the Christians are mean people. Um,
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: and it's, it's insane to watch Tallarico continue down that
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: rabbit hole as he does even later on, as Vince said, uh,
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: in that same interview because there's so much of this
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: conversation and of this story that deserves to be told
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: to people here in Texas because it is, and I'll
• 47:19
  Speaker 7: keep saying the words because this is simply true, antithetical
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: to who we are, to what we actually believe in
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: this state. So many Texans are people of faith, and
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: Tallarico himself claims to be a Christian and a person
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: of faith, and yet he laughs and says spot on
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: and agrees. when a host on a crazy podcast is
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: saying that Christians are mean and villains and that you
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: should be afraid, if you see follower of Christ in
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: someone's social media account, like, it can't get more radical
• 47:51
  Speaker 7: other than that in the world of Christianity. And how
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: can this person be elected to represent this state?
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: I just don't understand.
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: Here is the flock camera discussion on CNN, where they
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: even admit that some things are going poorly. In the
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: world of mass surveillance and lack of training, not that
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: training would really make it better.
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: Let's hit play on that.
• 48:11
  Speaker 13: I knew this morning a police officer has been arrested
• 48:13
  Speaker 13: after authorities say he tracked his ex-girlfriend more than 2,000
• 48:17
  Speaker 13: times using Flock cameras. These are the AI-powered license plate
• 48:23
  Speaker 13: readers you may have heard about.
• 48:24
  Speaker 14: That's not good.
• 48:24
  Speaker 13: Flock is facing growing scrutiny. but exactly what information they
• 48:27
  Speaker 13: are able to gather about Americans. Senator Josh Hawley is
• 48:30
  Speaker 13: now launching a probe demanding to know who has access
• 48:34
  Speaker 13: to the personal data captured by the cameras. With us now,
• 48:37
  Speaker 13: CNN Senior National Security Analyst Juliette Kayyem. She authors the
• 48:40
  Speaker 13: Early Warning Substack. So talk to me about what questions
• 48:45
  Speaker 13: these cameras raise. Why are they different than just normal CCTV?
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: They're terrible. Sorry.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Let her answer.
• 48:54
  Speaker 27: Because basically they're not aligned with any criminal investigation. So
• 48:58
  Speaker 27: what's happened is you have this very powerful surveillance tool
• 49:02
  Speaker 27: that in theory sounds good, right? You know, something bad happens.
• 49:05
  Speaker 27: You want to find out who's in the car, what
• 49:08
  Speaker 27: the license plate is. Instead, what Flock does is it's
• 49:11
  Speaker 27: an automated AI powered license plate reader system. So it's
• 49:16
  Speaker 27: picking up all sorts of information unrelated to any crime.
• 49:20
  Speaker 27: And then ideally how it was supposed to work is
• 49:23
  Speaker 27: then if you're looking for a specific license plate related
• 49:27
  Speaker 27: to a crime, you would make the match. Instead, deploy
• 49:31
  Speaker 27: to 7000 police departments with no training, no training. guidance,
• 49:38
  Speaker 27: no safety provisions that were automatic.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: That seems like a mistake.
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: And again, I don't actually think that the guidance and
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: the training and the safety provisions make it any better.
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: And I did say this before, so I will say
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: it again. No matter how much most of this looks bad,
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: the truth is that basically everybody walking around is their
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: own version of a flock camera and social media is
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: their own version of seeing the end result of that.
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: And some part of me, I don't support the flock cameras.
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: I don't want them. But some part of me likes
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: the idea that a narrative can't be manipulated by individuals
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: who are editing it themselves. It can just be manipulated
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: by organizations who own the cameras. I just want the
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: whole truth whenever something crazy happens, whenever something goes viral
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: and people tell me that this occurred or that occurred,
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: but I don't see the totality of a video. That's
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: the only benefit to an idea like this. But the
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: problems massively outweigh that one benefit. I see that Benjamin
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: is calling from Australia today. which I think is kind
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: of cool. Uh, Benjamin, what do you want to say?
• 50:40
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 50:41
  Speaker 22: Cause you switched over to the cameras, but you're talking
• 50:43
  Speaker 22: about the Christian.
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: We were, we were talking about religion and Tallarico saying that, uh,
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: Christianity is.
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: Is full of villains.
• 50:52
  Speaker 22: Yeah. Well, look, I've never been in Texas. Uh, I
• 50:54
  Speaker 22: came close cause I went to Mississippi, but, um, I
• 50:59
  Speaker 22: imagine in Texas there's a lot of Mexicans there, you know,
• 51:03
  Speaker 22: like second generation or whatever.
• 51:04
  Speaker 26: Yes, that's true.
• 51:05
  Speaker 22: And in my mind, you know, the Catholics are just
• 51:09
  Speaker 22: different to the kind of Christians, because when you're in
• 51:13
  Speaker 22: a Catholic country like Mexico, everything, all the street names
• 51:17
  Speaker 22: and everything, they're just, it's like you're in a church.
• 51:20
  Speaker 22: I mean, everything's just based on things that you would
• 51:23
  Speaker 22: only read about, you know, in a regular church. It's
• 51:26
  Speaker 22: just everywhere.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 51:28
  Speaker 22: On the street names everywhere.
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I'm married to a Mexican from Mexico, born
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: and raised there, became a U.S. citizen over the last
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: 10 years because of our relationship, and I've been there many,
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: many times, and profoundly true. And the, you know, through
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: line of Christian and Catholic faith that exists in our culture,
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: partly because so many people are second, third, fourth generation
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: individuals who came from that culture, you're 100% spot on.
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: in how deeply intertwined, I think, Christian faith in Texas go.
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: And so anyone that says anything negative about it, as
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: overarchingly negative as agreeing to the things that that podcaster
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: was saying to Talafrico, the more unlikely, I think, your
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: Senate candidacy becomes.
• 52:15
  Speaker 22: Well, I think anyone that takes those topics seriously, they
• 52:19
  Speaker 22: have to look at Shakespeare's play, The Merchant of Venice,
• 52:23
  Speaker 22: and look how they tried to make Shylock into a Christian.
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: I get it. Thank you for the call. Is there
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: anything else you want to say, Benjamin?
• 52:34
  Speaker 22: Probably not, no.
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 52:35
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: Well, thank you very much for the call. I appreciate
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: the conversation. I appreciate the discussion. And I think it's
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: interesting that at the tail end of that, you try
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: to reference the Merchant of Venice and Shylock being forced
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: to convert to Christianity as a punishment during a courtroom
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: climax thing for anyone that doesn't know. But I do
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: think it's interesting, because by and large, this is what
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: I'll say at the end, because I think Benjamin took
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: a spin that I wasn't expecting there at the end
• 53:08
  Speaker 7: of his call. But I will say this about the
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: totality of a belief system, any belief system, any religion
• 53:15
  Speaker 7: that you follow, is that it's mostly designed around the
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated.
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: Christian and Catholic faith does not treat you to be
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: a teach you to be a bully to other people.
• 53:27
  Speaker 7: It doesn't try to force you into certain roles or
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: certain behaviors. None of that is foundational aspects of the
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: belief system itself. And so anyone who categorizes people of
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: Christian or Catholic faith as if they're people who are
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: evil and mean-spirited seem to profoundly misunderstand what the religion
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: is designed to do in the first place. And so
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: I just I don't think I'll ever understand any version
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: of that rhetoric existing in our society. And people who
• 53:59
  Speaker 7: pretend as though someone you actually know, someone you actually
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: meet who is deeply tied to their faith, whatever their
• 54:05
  Speaker 7: faith might be, but certainly in the world of Christianity
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: is anything other than a good person.
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: Like everyone that I.
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: Think of that is is, you know, deeply faith based
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: and like does all kinds of things, has all kinds
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: of conversations. And I mean this specifically in the world
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: of Christianity. Anyone that I know in that world, I
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: would never describe them as anything other than kind. Because
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: if you're actually close to your faith, you know that's
• 54:32
  Speaker 7: what your faith teaches you to be. So it just
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: makes no sense to me. But thank you anyway, Benjamin,
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: for the call and the weird shot with the reference
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: to the Merchant of Venice. Because I don't know what
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: the design of that was. But I appreciate anybody and
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: everyone that calls into the show. And I look forward
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: to talking to you guys again on Monday, hopefully with
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: Wayne Dolcevino here in studio.
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: But that's it.
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: Listen to the whole rest of the station. Listen to
• 54:55
