Should Paxton Debate Talarico? Plus Callers on Why Prices Stay High · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

0:20
KSEV Mornings with Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino, The Voice of Texas, Houston talk radio.
0:31
We can hear you sing.
0:35
Oh, look at that.
0:43
Look at Dolcefino & Fano getting in there.
0:46
Did you?
0:47
Where did you sing?
0:49
In eighth grade.
0:49
In what?
0:50
In eighth grade.
0:51
I was in a band called Optical Illusion.
0:55
I had an orange Kent drum set.
0:58
Awesome.
0:58
You know who didn't sing was Scott Gertner who went on to be a very big local music guy.
1:06
He used to play, he used to have a club up on top of Billie and Montrose and...
1:12
And it's...
1:14
But he could never be a part of optical illusion.
1:17
That's what mattered.
1:18
He couldn't sing yet.
1:19
See, my things dropped before other people.
1:23
I just want to tell you, and eventually I think we're going to put a camera on Russell.
1:26
He doesn't have to be a part of the show.
1:28
He doesn't have to talk if you won't let him.
1:30
I'll let him.
1:30
I think we should have a shot that we could take of Russell sitting back.
1:35
I want a camera on him because when you first started singing and I know as a technical
1:40
guy you were so off mic we could barely hear you that Russell's head just shook.
1:44
It's like, no!
1:45
If you're going to sing, at least sing into the mic kind of thing.
1:48
I thought that was hilarious.
1:52
I want to see a thumbs up from Russell.
1:54
Can we put a camera on you so we can see you in there? He's saying maybe.
2:00
I knew what Russell just said to you. Yeah, he did like a, it was like an in-between.
2:06
It's like, we'll think about it kind of thing. All right, we were talking off the air about a
2:10
couple different things. And one of the things is the way that people speak when they don't
2:13
think there's cameras and microphones. And I had a great idea for a show that I shouldn't
2:18
show because someone will steal it.
2:21
But I actually thought it would be really great to have a show
2:25
where somehow you recorded secretly or sort of secretly
2:31
women talking about men.
2:33
And recording us guys when we on the rare once a year occasion
2:39
where I've gone out with a drink for like a bunch of guys,
2:41
right?
2:43
I was never like a guy who went out hanging out
2:44
at the tapas bar, because I think that's nonsense.
2:47
But I like to hang out occasionally, just to see actual other men and not to always be
2:55
listening to the orders of a female.
3:00
And I said it would be really great.
3:03
And I said, people should hear, women should hear what we say about them when they're not
3:11
listening.
3:11
And we could look cover faces.
3:13
If we have to.
3:14
Change voices.
3:15
Well, I noticed they didn't even change the voices of those guys at Cornell, right?
3:20
No.
3:20
Like her, they don't play anything because they're afraid you're going to identify her.
3:25
But those guys, who the hell cares?
3:28
And here's the thing too, because we've seen this happen a bunch of times in other high
3:31
profile stories, not maybe about sexual assault, but all kinds of things, where you start to
3:36
learn about the actual background of someone that's being propped up as an innocent participant
3:41
in something.
3:42
George Floyd is a good example of this.
3:43
However much people hate it a George Floyd's background
3:47
Didn't make the reaction to George Floyd make as much sense as people wanted it to and people were up and on nice
3:54
I know I'm being controlled tell the truth. Well, they said that this guy was a
4:00
Criminal and immediately started saying I can't breathe. I can't breathe
4:03
Yeah, the guy had it wouldn't even touch the way you said is the guy had a rap sheet a mile long
4:07
And then people were propping him up like he was an innocent, you know father were three kids that got attacked
4:12
And what's interesting about that is how much people hated the facts coming out because they thought it refuted the narrative on a you know
4:20
Personal level and I just think we need the whole I need the whole picture
4:24
All the time and you're never gonna get it right narrative is a very funny thing
4:29
Because once it's established
4:32
People weigh in with very little information
4:35
Oh, yeah, and it's like when there's a mass shooting
4:39
And sometimes they go, well, the so-and-so was a woman, and she transitioned into a man.
4:47
And it's like after three or four of those transgender-related mass shootings, I'd already
4:55
sort of snapped after the second one.
4:57
I said, that's interesting.
4:59
Right?
4:59
There's only like, what, 1%, half a 1% or whatever of people that are transgender?
5:04
Right and there's been two mass shootings in the last three weeks where it was a transgender person and how dare me?
5:13
Make the sort of leap that how dare you
5:15
with some of these transgender people and their medicine and when you say that people go how
5:22
Insensitive you are well, it's even amazing is to even hint that there might be a mental health problem there in some people who
5:29
Decided they weren't in the right body. I'm with I'm with Talarico man
5:34
It's only two sexes and the rest are genetic
5:39
Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. I would have been I would have been but shoving that commercial
5:44
The other thing I wanted to say which is why?
5:48
Talarico is actually such an interesting person to bring up because he said a lot of crazy and controversial stuff into microphones and in front of cameras
5:55
And we're so used to in the society we live in right now having a camera or a microphone in a lot of rooms
6:01
that I think a lot of people are now not themselves every day all the time.
6:06
Like, I think the likelihood of you getting a more honest reaction from a person has gone down
6:12
because of the ubiquity of all the media that we have.
6:15
Yeah, and look, sometimes I say things and, you know, I'm subtle.
6:20
Yeah.
6:20
I say things and people, I did see it sort of like not played back my exact quote,
6:26
but sort of like the context of my quote and I go, no, that's not what I meant.
6:29
I mean people like us I mean even guys that like talk for a living right in whatever format
6:36
We are we say things that don't come out exactly. I mean I do it every day
6:41
Yeah on this show I come on I say stuff that
6:44
Someone will be driving in it going. Yeah, you just say that all women are crazy. I said no I always said like
6:51
70%
6:51
Well and also I hate the fact that so many people now
6:55
honestly and intentionally take something that's obviously a joke out of context.
6:59
And they do this to Trump all the time.
7:01
The Trump thing with the nuclear thing.
7:02
Yeah.
7:03
Oh, it's starting to talk about that.
7:05
So he said, what if they blew up Los Angeles or San Diego?
7:10
And the media, I woke up to a headline or I was, I looked on TV and they were talking
7:15
about Trump says, blow up LA and San Diego.
7:19
And then I actually watched it.
7:21
And he was just using them as examples of what it would be like if we were attacked.
7:28
And it was so obviously not a thing.
7:33
I mean, it wasn't what even Trump tells a stupid joke, right?
7:36
Or a joke that's right.
7:38
I get that.
7:39
But this wasn't even that.
7:40
It was just you people are like linguistics experts now.
7:45
You can, I could say, you know, Colineze is a whatever.
7:49
and they will, they just decide what you really meant.
7:54
Yeah, I know.
7:55
And I heard Caitlin Collins last night call Trump a snowflake.
8:00
She wasn't a question.
8:02
Somebody made a comment and she said, what a snowflake.
8:05
I went, I sort of turned around and went, what?
8:08
Yeah, seriously.
8:09
Yeah.
8:10
Well, but honestly, Caitlin Collins also just has this crazy grudge against Trump for everything
8:15
that he said.
8:15
All the times he's like, you're not a terrible looking woman.
8:17
You could smile a little bit.
8:18
She hates that.
8:19
Do you think she's nice?
8:20
Do you think she's nice?
8:21
Like off the air?
8:23
I have no idea.
8:23
I don't think so.
8:24
I don't like her.
8:26
I think she's a you know what?
8:28
Yeah, I get the sense that she's not nice.
8:30
I get the sense that she's not.
8:31
But who knows?
8:32
I don't know anything about it.
8:33
Well, and there are some journalists I've met along the way that are very serious.
8:37
Sure.
8:37
Okay.
8:39
That like they look at guys like me and they go, dude, you're just some crazy guy with
8:45
a camera.
8:46
Right. Let me say it this way, man, because like part of me thinks that someone like a Caitlin Collins might just be sad because of the way she lives her life.
8:54
Like the thing she thinks about. She doesn't seem like the kind of person that's going to go enjoy like a weekend cruise.
8:59
No. You know what I mean?
9:01
Well, she works all the time. Look, to be fair, she works all the time. She works all the time. Right.
9:06
And as someone who worked all the time for like most of my life and now I'm going, what the hell happened? Right.
9:11
but where time go. But I get that. Look, I think she's very committed and I don't usually
9:19
criticize, well sometimes I do, people who are committed, but I respect that a lot. I
9:25
think I did agree with her, but I just thought that comment yesterday was just so weird.
9:30
And I'll say this, and it doesn't have to be couched in what I think of Caitlin Collins
9:34
specifically anymore. It can just be in general. I think there's a lot of people who wake up
9:37
every morning ready to be mad and just waiting to be told what they're mad about. And then
9:41
And they just live their life mad.
9:42
And I think if you get into that cycle, and I know people who are in it, and especially
9:46
people who are in it in an obsessed with politics way, I don't know how you dig yourself out
9:51
of that whole of, I'm mad every day and I'm waiting to know what the new thing is for
9:55
me to complain about today.
9:57
Yeah.
9:57
I mean, and I will also tell you that I don't know what we did wrong with this generation.
10:07
Because I, as having people that are young that work here, and I say things, and look,
10:13
I often joke.
10:14
I'm sure I get serious. Who cares? But I often joke about things just to get people's reaction.
10:22
Right. I am, you know that about me.
10:25
Investigative reporter through and through.
10:26
Well, it's not just that. I sort of enjoy tweaking people. And once they're tweaked,
10:33
then their true beliefs come out. Because people are all afraid to say what you really mean.
10:39
Yeah, right what you really mean you you
10:44
nose ringed blue hair
10:46
Hot she didn't have any blue hair that the lady at the Trader Joe's not a blue. I'm sure she did
10:52
Just over here. She's right
10:54
I'm a big fan of women with blue hair. Yeah, it was his regular brown hair
10:59
They don't like me very much because they like the other side
11:02
There are a couple tattoos and nose ring, but no no blue hair
11:06
That's hilarious.
11:07
Alright, we gotta take a break.
11:09
A lot of things to talk about.
11:10
We might talk about serious stuff.
11:11
We don't know.
11:12
Both Wayne and I feel like we're in the same mood today.
11:14
About everything going on out there.
11:16
And the likelihood that we're just screwed.
11:18
World peace.
11:19
Let's talk about world peace.
11:21
You did send some good audio.
11:22
We should probably play some of that audio you sent.
11:24
Like that lady promising free everything.
11:26
We'll get to that more in just a bit.
11:28
On The Voice of Texas.
11:30
700 AM.
11:50
As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver justice that is fair, understandable,
11:56
and within reach.
11:58
Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law as written, so
12:02
Some of the rules don't change depending on who walks into the courtroom.
12:06
But fairness also means a court system that works for the people it serves.
12:10
Blacklock has called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
12:15
and making legal services more affordable.
12:18
Because a case should be decided on the facts and the law, not on who can afford the longest
12:23
fight.
12:24
Texas courts belong to the people.
12:26
That means judges should be accountable, rules should be clear, and the system should be
12:31
accessible to those who rely on it.
12:33
For Blacklock, equal justice means more than a principle.
12:36
It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and afford to use.
12:41
Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock, clear rules, accountable courts, equal justice under law.
12:47
Political ad paid for by the Jimmy Blacklock campaign.
12:53
I've been talking for years about Chip Beresford and the Pine Box and saving money during one
12:58
of life's most difficult times, the death of a loved one.
13:03
Now Chip is taking his revolutionary low price high value concept to the service side of
13:08
funerals and cremations with Beresford Funeral Service.
13:12
Call Chip at 1-888-PINEBOX or visit thepinebox.com.
13:16
Chip not only saves people money on caskets, he now offers affordable funerals and cremations
13:22
with his own funeral home.
13:23
The average cost of a simple funeral today can easily exceed $10,000.
13:29
At Bairds Ford's Funeral Service, families now can save thousands of dollars on funerals and cremations without sacrificing quality or dignity.
13:39
Haven't you lost enough already?
13:41
When that time comes, call CHIP at 1-888-PINE-BOX or visit thepinebox.com.
13:47
That's CHIP at 1-888-PINE-BOX or visit pinebox.com.

15:08
KSEV radio. This is the voice of Texas. We're getting it all figured out.
15:12
We finally have like a system that allows Wayne to hear all the things he wants to hear he could see me
15:18
I can see him. We're doing great stuff
15:21
We mentioned a little bit ago and this might be the only technical hurdle
15:24
We still have playing a clip of somebody but there was somebody you sent me last night a
15:30
Politician who seemed to win?
15:32
I think a primary race and then was screaming and yelling about all the free stuff. She's gonna give away way
15:37
And do you want to tell us more about that one? Yeah, she's some
15:39
I think left wing person in Louisiana, her name doesn't even matter.
15:44
You probably know her name, but it doesn't matter.
15:47
I said it because I think it's very important for our audience, right?
15:54
Which is more conservative, obviously,
15:58
unless there's some left wing person who just likes being beat up all morning.
16:02
But I don't think so.
16:02
But I think it's important to understand what the other side is saying
16:10
So you can best
16:13
prepare
16:14
I don't like defense. I'm an offensive guy you candidates come see me
16:19
I said look dude if you're hiring me to like play like react a ram reactor Rama
16:24
I'm not doing it if you if you're calling me because you want to go after the other side and then always
16:31
defend themselves, which is exactly what they're doing to us.
16:35
I think it's important for people to hear what they say,
16:38
even if you hate it.
16:39
Okay, so I can play, I think we can play it.
16:42
You might hear a little blip for a second,
16:43
but we should be able to play it,
16:45
but I think this is where our buzz is coming from.
16:46
Here we go.
16:48
Oh, that was way too loud, way too loud,
16:50
and way too many horrible things also happened.
16:51
All right, we gotta fix that.
16:52
That was terrible.
16:54
Let's get back to that in a second.
16:55
I'm gonna have to close that,
16:57
so I'm gonna disappear from you for a minute.
17:00
Yeah, goodbye. You can still hear me. You can still hear me, you just can't see me.
17:05
Because that was causing a feedback loop that was gonna be horrible and now you can hear the thing that we want you to hear.
17:11
Cheat. But we know why they cheated. They knew Louisiana was flippin'.
17:14
I didn't run for office because I'm the perfect candidate not even because I'm a politician because I literally can't stand them.
17:19
But I ran for office because honestly you can stand on side of me, you could stand behind me,
17:24
but it's gone too far to be standing in my way to progress.
17:27
Ladies and gentlemen, do you want healthcare?
17:30
Do you want education?
17:32
Do you want the Constitution to be protected?
17:34
Do you want clean air?
17:36
Clean food?
17:38
You cannot elect the same people over and over and over again and expect a different
17:44
result.
17:45
So I ran because I didn't know if I was the type of candidate that y'all want because...
17:48
By the way, I do agree with her here in Houston and in Harris County that we should switch
17:53
which team is in charge and see if we get a better result.
17:56
Absolutely.
17:56
I do agree with that.
17:57
Here we go.
17:58
I am a fighter and I don't play nice.
18:00
And I don't believe that it's come to a point where you can sit here and play around with
18:03
people who are operating in bad faith from the jump.
18:07
I am willing to respect anybody if you're walking to the argument and you're walking
18:11
to the debate and you're standing there on truth.
18:13
But you're not standing in truth.
18:15
You're not standing in facts.
18:16
You don't have the history on your side.
18:19
You know what's really interesting to me?
18:21
You don't have the history on your side.
18:23
Yeah.
18:23
Yeah, yeah the thing that's really interesting to me is she's not speaking in facts is there's a lot of times that she's putting her opinion
18:29
Front and center to anything she's saying and she's acting like it's a definitive fact and I think that's
18:35
Really dangerous in a society we live in right now. Go ahead. Yes, but if they
18:41
Commandeer fight fight fight. Yes, that and that's what they're attempting to do. They are they're trying to tell you and
18:50
I think there's some element of unfortunate truth to this
18:53
that Trump was the guy who was going to fight for you, and now he's worried about Trump
19:00
and his family.
19:02
And I just think there are some messages that sort of go above the daily back and forth.
19:12
I just think if indeed moderate Republicans don't come out, because it's not about nagaphobia,
19:21
We are going to come out right for Trump.
19:23
That's true.
19:23
And that's why he's campaigning and all these left wing
19:26
media people are going, why is he going to Kansas?
19:30
Well, you don't just go to Kansas anymore, right?
19:34
I mean, you actually have like TV and video.
19:38
So you go to Kansas, everyone's going to see it.
19:40
Like you could be in some little crap hole honky tonk in Topeka.
19:45
Hilarious.
19:46
And everybody's going to see it.
19:48
So this whole, why are you going there?
19:49
It doesn't matter where it goes, really.
19:53
Any more?
19:54
Sure, you get more coverage in the locals if you go to their town, blah, blah, blah,
19:58
blah, blah, blah.
19:59
But all they're going to do is take a sound bite anyway.
20:01
Man.
20:03
That's true. That's true. Well, that's, see, I love that last point too, because that is all they're going to do.
20:08
They're going to act like they're genuine. They're going to sit you down, have a 25 minute conversation,
20:12
pretend that they're willing to go back and forth and whatever the things are that you're saying and they're saying,
20:16
and then they're going to clip it to one 15 second thing that they think makes you look as horrible as possible.
20:21
That's it. So why are we even playing a game? And that's why so many people do their own thing now.
20:27
The problem is there's so many of them and I really think I
20:33
Hear defense when I as a guy that's in this business. Yeah
20:38
I hear defense from Republicans. Sure, right? I hear they're crazy
20:44
Which I think has been established. Sure. Right? Yes, the problem is
20:49
What are we going to do now?
20:52
Right?
20:53
What we're going to do is we're going to finish kicking the crap out of Iran and then bring
20:58
down oil prices, which should bring down other prices.
21:02
But I will also say as someone who is conservative and doesn't like telling private business
21:08
what to do.
21:10
In fact, I think it's absolutely opposite of what we should do.
21:13
I do still wonder sometimes why prices remain so high.
21:19
When COVID's over, supply chains are back,
21:23
blah, blah, blah.
21:24
Of course.
21:24
Well, and doing something to try to figure that out
21:27
is valuable.
21:28
I do wanna go back to one thing you said,
21:30
because I feel like a lot of what we're talking about
21:32
is reasons that Paxton shouldn't debate Talarico.
21:36
And I know both of us think that he should, right?
21:38
We both think he should.
21:40
I'm not so sure anymore.
21:41
Okay, well, and that's part of the reason
21:43
why is a lot of what you just said is,
21:45
is Paxton could show up, do 70 minutes
21:47
of a 72-minute thing that are excellent and amazing, and the left will take the two minutes
21:52
that they think are embarrassing and put them all over the place, and it could potentially
21:56
hurt Paxton's a chance of getting elected.
21:58
They will, but it also creates the other side of content, right?
22:03
Sure.
22:03
It allows the people that are supportive, sympathetic, Republican, conservatives, whatever,
22:09
to play those things when Paxton doesn't sound crazy, which is what the Trump people try
22:16
to do sometimes to say, look, he talked for 45 minutes and sure.
22:21
He told a joke about bombing.
22:23
I wasn't even a joke.
22:24
He just said, how about, how about blowing up Los Angeles?
22:27
And everyone goes, Oh my gosh.
22:30
He wants them to blow up Los Angeles.
22:32
Yeah.
22:33
I get it.
22:34
But it's all about content creation.
22:36
Right.
22:37
If you're, and if, and that's why we'll, if you want to play that day, we could play
22:42
but it was a Talarico Facebook thing.
22:45
Where Paxton has a press conference
22:48
with some sheriff's guys about something, I have no idea.
22:51
And the reporters want to ask what they want to ask about,
22:54
which is not about the sheriff's.
22:56
And instead of dealing with it and saying the same thing
23:00
but answering the question at the same time,
23:04
you could answer the question in like four seconds and move on.
23:08
Instead of doing that, the Paxton media people sound like they have to protect, maybe they
23:14
do, but they have to protect the guy.
23:17
And I think Paxton needs to sit down with someone.
23:21
And look, I've said it before, I invite his people, you don't have to pay me.
23:27
I will come and interview him.
23:28
I will be tough because I play the, well, please.
23:34
Well, he's me.
23:34
But I will be tough, but I will give him a chance to explain without interrupting like
23:41
I don't believe him.
23:43
And I think if he can't do that, if he can't say, and if he also can say what he's done,
23:50
I mean, all I've seen really in the last month or so on Paxton commercials is what?
24:00
What is he?
24:00
Yeah, I'll say this because I know we're up against a break
24:04
I just sent that clip to Russell because as we're fixing all this stuff to make sure that everything sounds as professional as possible
24:10
When you're remote every single day
24:12
One of the things that becomes more difficult is playing those clips without breaking the system I built so Russell have to do it for us
24:19
But I sent you an email. There's a Facebook thing. We'll get to that in a little bit
24:22
it is a
24:23
Paxton answer to a question and
24:26
in Talarico and a comparison that a lot of media wants to make because they suck.
24:30
They're horrible people.
24:32
But we'll get to that more in just a bit.

the state of Texas versus Juan
25:58
and Mary Sanchez, the charge?
26:00
Child abuse for refusing to
26:02
recognize their son as a girl.
26:04
Sounds insane, right?
26:07
Well, Gina Inahosa supports the
26:08
radical policy of taxpayers
26:10
paying for sex change surgery
26:12
for kids and the assault on
26:14
parental rights.
26:15
And Inahosa believes schools
26:17
should be able to transition
26:18
children behind their parents'
26:20
backs. But that's just the beginning. Gina Hinojosa supports allowing boys and
26:25
girls sports and in their locker rooms. It's gross, unfair, and harmful to girls.
26:31
And what does Gina Hinojosa say about it? Listen to this. I really don't understand
26:36
how girls would be hurt by this. A threat to our little girls that doesn't exist.
26:42
Gina Hinojosa, radical, dangerous. We cannot allow her to become governor of

28:02
KSEV radio, it's a boy to Texas.
28:06
I am Craig Coglianese, he is Wayne Dolcefino.
28:08
You have so many people in your office with so much talent.
28:12
It's ridiculous.
28:14
I'm like, you asked him to move the camera?
28:16
I just had a video guy come in and I'm like he's not centered in the frame and now it's a perfect shot of you, man.
28:21
This is perfect. You look so much better as far as I know we don't see Don Corleone as much anymore,
28:25
but it's no longer just like your chin on the bottom of the...
28:30
A little bit. I can't do that right. Here it is.
28:32
Yeah, we
28:33
previously for most of the show like it was just your chin right at the bottom of our screen.
28:38
What are you saying about my chin?
28:39
Your chin's fine. It's just I wanted your face in the middle.
28:42
Do you like this? My wife hated it.
28:44
What the like little bit of the five o'clock shadow, but it's white yeah, would you ever dye it?
28:50
Would you ever go with like the well? I have okay?
28:53
I sort of dye my hair because gotcha of a sideburn thing and
28:58
I did it once and I looked so stupid
29:03
I got a buddy that did that too. Who is that guy back in the 60s or something?
29:07
It was I'm not gonna know that it was before Gilligan's Island
29:10
You don't even know.
29:11
You weren't even born.
29:12
I wasn't even, I wasn't a thought in the 60s.
29:15
You were still not a thought when you were born.
29:17
They go, what the hell did we just do?
29:19
You asked us to play a clip.
29:21
Russell's going to go ahead and play it for us.
29:23
This is a clip of a Paxton answer at a press conference, I think.
29:26
And then is it a Talarico answer after that?
29:28
It's a Talarico ad.
29:30
It starts with the difference between how Paxton responds and how Talarico responds.
29:34
Go ahead, Russell.
29:35
If you a chance to respond to state representative, Talarico and his campaign
29:41
They've made a lot about the reports that have come out
29:45
One in the New York Times about you acquiring properties worth so we keep this the law enforcement
29:50
Well, I'm giving you the opportunity to that. Yeah
29:54
Like that we're here with the sheriff's I'd like to keep today to law enforcement
29:57
So that's that's what I'm gonna answer the questions about long. Okay, grower. Did you want to go?
30:03
What are you going to answer a question about why you voted in common county?
30:08
We're going to get out of here. Thank you guys.
30:10
I have a question.
30:11
We're going to get out of here.
30:12
Can we not have more than one person answer a question?
30:16
Alright, that's enough of me talking.
30:19
I now want to open this up for your comments, your questions.
30:22
I am a former middle school teacher, so if you don't raise your hands, I'm just going to call on you.
30:27
So, my only ask is when you ask your question, introduce yourself.
30:31
I know a lot of people in this room, but not everybody so tell us your name and then ask your question or share your
30:36
Comment or your idea or your story whatever's on your mind. I think we took ten questions in Houston yesterday
30:43
We got to do better than that de Soto, so I will be here
30:46
I'll ask him and if you don't get your question
30:48
This is asked I'm gonna stay till the very end and I will take every photo
30:55
I will answer every question. I'll shake every hand. I'll be the last person who leaves
30:58
I got nowhere, but the hotel to go so we'll be here for a while
31:03
What do you want to say well it wasn't about that room
31:08
The reason they put that out is to show the difference and let me tell you something
31:14
I actually think Ken Paxton has done a lot
31:17
I think he's the best attorney general probably in the country right and I have it where is it where is that?
31:24
They talked about some child
31:26
I get it, right?
31:28
But he's done so much.
31:30
I know part of this, because my son, who was not a major cog in the – he wasn't like some big official, right?
31:37
He was just an assistant attorney general.
31:40
He was working on banning abortion pills, right, when they're being shipped over from like Denmark or somewhere over the place, right?
31:46
He was involved in a Medicaid investigation of Texas Children's where they were falsifying transgender stuff under something else or it didn't look transgender-y.
32:01
There's just so many things.
32:03
Oh, don't go too far away from your microphone, by the way.
32:05
I'm sorry.
32:06
It's okay. We lose you when you go back there.
32:08
All right. I'll stay right here.
32:09
So there's just so many things that he has done and I want to see Ken Paxton the fighter,
32:17
not Ken Paxton I'm afraid to answer a question.
32:21
There's another thing to say about the actual ad itself.
32:24
Talarico doesn't actually answer any questions in it.
32:26
He just says he's willing to.
32:28
And the question that was asked to Paxton was uniquely challenging.
32:31
I bet you Talarico gets asked tough questions.
32:34
It doesn't always give a good answer to them.
32:35
And I don't know if Paxton also gets sick of I've answered that question ready
32:39
Like there's a lot of athletes in the world of sports who if you ask about the controversy that everybody's been talking about for two
32:45
Weeks eventually they start saying I've answered that I've talked about that. I've given you my take on it. Nothing's changed
32:50
They don't take questions. Yeah, if you're not prepared to answer a question don't take no, I get it
32:56
We do have a call from Gary who wants to ask us about a supply chain or react to supply chain comments we made in the show
33:03
Gary, what do you want to say?
33:04
How are you doing? Hey, I'm actually calling from outside Columbus, Ohio. Hopefully I don't
33:09
lose you because I'm dropping off my one of my granddaughters at preschool. But anyway,
33:14
Wayne you were asking about the supply chain and why things, you know, we're well past
33:18
COVID. One thing a lot of people haven't taken in consideration and why prices are
33:22
not ever going to drastically drop is back. If you remember, a lot of people were getting
33:26
unemployment because they were told they had to stay home and they were getting close to
33:32
In Ohio, you know, you got roughly half of what you were making and unemployment.
33:37
Well, people were getting closer to 100%.
33:39
And then we all those bailout checks we were giving people.
33:43
So to get people to come back to work, people are having to get you know, like, just take
33:47
a minimum wage worker, those nine and $10 an hour jobs became $14 and $15 an hour jobs.
33:54
And then everything else above it, have that increase to get people off, people would say,
33:58
well I can make as much staying at home as I can go into work. Yeah. So all the
34:02
employers out there had to sweeten the pot. Well what happened is after that
34:06
they didn't like say well now we're going to back to pre-COVID wages so
34:10
we're gonna cut your pay by five six dollars an hour. Yeah. Those and every
34:15
level of whether it's service industry manufacturing, supply chain, all that's
34:21
baked in that's not coming back. Yeah. So you know all we can do is see it's like
34:26
a flood, we can hope to stop the rate at which the water is rising, which is the inflationary.
34:33
But unless we have a major collapse, we're not going to have a deflationary period where
34:38
wages are going to be cut back down and whatever.
34:40
It's like a major recession to do that.
34:42
Great call, Gary.
34:43
Wayne, what do you want to say first?
34:44
Yeah, I was going to say, as a guy who runs a small company, like 12 employees right now,
34:48
I mean, Mike, my payroll over what it was four years ago, because people kept getting
34:56
raises and what are you going to do?
34:57
Say, hey, I'm going to ever give you a raise again.
34:59
You got to, you got to keep people.
35:01
Why don't you give them 5% you give them 10% whatever you give them the cost of that.
35:06
And I'm not going to go back to them now and say, you know what?
35:09
Now that COVID is over, give me a little bit of that.
35:11
We're going to start charging less per hour, right?
35:13
I'm going to be the first guy.
35:15
Yeah.
35:15
to say, you know what, I care about America.
35:19
Let's make America great again.
35:21
And I'm just going to cut my rates.
35:24
I will be in money trouble in a matter of weeks.
35:27
If you do that, yeah.
35:30
No, well, I would also want to say
35:31
that I think corporate greed is real.
35:33
I'm not going to pretend it's not real.
35:35
And I think corporations who see a capability
35:39
of selling something at a certain price,
35:40
even after COVID and everything is over,
35:42
they want to keep doing it.
35:43
The thing that's always lost on people in this discussion, and I want our caller's reaction,
35:48
Gary, to react to this too, we as consumers can stop buying some stuff.
35:53
If the price is too high, like there's some stuff I know we have to keep buying.
35:56
I got to keep buying food.
35:57
I got to keep buying gas.
35:58
But there's a lot of things I can stop buying, and they will then lower the price to the
36:03
point where we buy it again.
36:05
We never collectively do that.
36:07
And we always complain as Americans who run up like credit card bills and stuff that,
36:11
Man, everything's so expensive, but we could choose to all agree, and we don't have to
36:17
do it in a group chat.
36:18
We can all just do it on our own that, hey, this stuff is too expensive right now.
36:22
I'm not buying it at these prices, and lower the prices, and then I'll buy it then.
36:28
That is a power that we do have that it seems people don't utilize.
36:33
And I know, again, gas is an exception and a big thing we talk about, but we buy a lot
36:37
of stuff that's probably too expensive right now, and we're still buying it.
36:40
So is it really their fault for selling it or is it our fault collectively for still continuing to purchase? Gary, what do you want to say to that real quick?
36:48
You know, real quickly, I got two points. One, yeah, just to prove that that is, go to a lot of restaurants and people are still going.
36:56
Turn a TV on any time there's a ballgame and the stadiums are sold out. People are still buying the $10 beers, paying $30, $40 to park.
37:04
You know, one thing I wanted to add, because you guys are in a big, obviously a big election
37:08
coming up.
37:09
We got a governor and a senator election coming up.
37:14
The chick that's running for governor, her name is Amy Acton, which by the way, has done
37:17
the impossible.
37:18
When she speaks, she makes Kamala Harris sound like a Rhodes Scholar.
37:22
We got a rhino governor named Mike DeWine in here, and he's the end of the second term.
37:26
But during COVID, she was appointed our health director, and her nickname is Abortion Amy
37:32
because she was a big Barack Obama supporter, but yet he appointed her as a health director.
37:37
Well, she's running – they basically thought this was a throwaway candidate because she's running against the vague Obama supporters.
37:43
Right, yeah. I was just asking what you think of a vague – sorry, continue.
37:45
I like him. I actually met him at a parade real quick going down the street, very personable.
37:50
But anyway, she's running on affordability. Well, she was one of those people that had everybody shutting businesses down at 10 o'clock because COVID didn't come out.
38:00
And it goes, COVID went away at 10 o'clock, or if you were a high-speed above the ground.
38:06
But she's running on affordability when she was one of the reasons why, and like many
38:12
states, the Democrats were the reasons why affordability became an issue because we were
38:16
shutting everything down and crashed our economy.
38:19
Well, thank you very much for the call, Gary.
38:20
I really appreciate that.
38:21
That's exactly right.
38:23
And that was the problem I had with the whole affordability as a scam stuff.
38:29
Because affordability is a real thing.
38:35
But the people that are whining so much about it are the people that caused it.
38:44
And I think that's at both sides.
38:46
I think it's the politicians who had the policies to cause it to enable maybe some people who
38:50
a little greedy in the world of, you know, business to keep the money.
38:54
And then also the people continue to buy the stuff that we shouldn't buy.
38:58
Like, Apple is, or not Apple, Amazon is doing its Prime Day right now.
39:02
It's two days of big blockbuster sales.
39:04
Most of the sales are crap.
39:05
They're not even really that good anymore.
39:07
And I've been reading that Amazon is doing incredible numbers over the last two days,
39:11
just selling the crap out of everything.
39:13
The economy is not nearly as bad as these.
39:15
As you think it is.
39:17
Oh my God.
39:18
Right.
39:18
All right, we got Bart on the line,
39:20
but we got to take a break first.
39:21
We'll come back.
39:21
We'll take his call.
39:22
Mike's on the line now too.
39:24
End of the show.

Here's a question for you.
40:11
When was the last time you thought about your garage door?
40:14
Most people never do.
40:15
The problem is that your garage door may be the hardest working appliance in your home.
40:19
It opens and closes thousands of times every year, lifting hundreds of pounds each and every time.
40:25
You change the oil in your car.
40:27
You service your air conditioner.
40:28
your garage door deserves the same attention.
40:31
A simple tune-up catches worn parts before they fail.
40:34
A tune-up keeps everything running quietly
40:36
and can add years of life to your system.
40:39
And that's why preventative maintenance
40:40
is one of the smartest investments
40:42
you can make for your garage door.
40:44
Garage doors usually warn you before they break.

We're here to help before that happens.

Wayne might be under his desk at some point soon. He's got a headphone wire stuck.
43:14
Go ahead. I'm moving my microphone closer to the computer because literally I'm like this.
43:19
You have a microphone or a headphone wire that's stuck under the wheel of your chair
43:23
and the more you move the more it winds. I'm gonna fix that. I'm gonna go over
43:27
your place again today and fix that. Even though I'm banned. You know what? You like
43:32
coming over too much.
43:33
I do a little bit.
43:34
You're like the sort of old, well, sort of the woman you used to like but don't really
43:39
like that much and you still keep coming?
43:41
Yeah, I'm just hanging out, okay?
43:42
I just knock on the door.
43:43
They let me in much easier now.
43:44
At first I had to tell them who I was.
43:46
All right, just shut up.
43:47
All right, fine.
43:47
Let's get out of the calls.
43:48
First we got Bart.
43:49
Bart wants to talk about the economy.
43:51
Bart, what do you want to say?
43:53
Yeah, I called last week about how Victor Davis Hanson just embarrassed the economics
43:59
professor yeah how good the economy is doing you remember that yes well they
44:05
just hit a podcast yesterday and he was going after the Wall Street Journal
44:09
saying how even these leftist leaning economy papers are having admit how good
44:15
the economy is doing it's a 17 straight months of expansion and all you'd hear
44:20
from them is how bad the economy is I I have that clip I'm not gonna play at
44:25
this time Bart because we got more calls we gotta get to but I do love when you
44:29
call in and tell me about stuff out there and then we usually have the same thoughts
44:32
and the same clips.
44:34
But it is also great that more people are admitting it.
44:37
The connection was bad, so we had to let you go.
44:39
But it is funny that more people are being forced to admit this, that the economy is
44:43
better than they think.
44:44
Yep.
44:45
Let's go to Mike.
44:46
Mike wants to talk about midterm elections.
44:48
What do you want to say, Mike?
44:50
Good morning, guys.
44:51
Enjoy your show very much.
44:53
Thank you.
44:53
uh...
44:54
uh...
44:55
i've been watching these elections
44:57
polls for months now since january
45:01
and the total the polls have tight cross country
45:04
you've got republican feet like kansas
45:08
with who hasn't elected a room democrats senator
45:12
probably in decade
45:13
fifty sixty years of the thirties
45:16
and
45:17
the the senator there is
45:19
within five point just
45:20
three to five point ahead
45:22
It's within the margin of error and this is happening all over the country now for Republican senators, not just Texas
45:30
Gentlemen, we could see a if the Democrats have the enthusiasm and they've got the money
45:36
We might see a lot. We're gonna see the house go. I don't doubt that the Senate still was 50-50
45:43
But I want to make one comment about the guy calling Abbott a rhino Republican if I heard him, right?
45:50
Go ahead.
45:51
And I'm going to use this example.
45:55
Susan Collins of Maine would be what he would call a Rhino Republican.
46:00
You cannot elect a Ted Cruz in Maine.
46:03
Let's get real, okay?
46:05
So I want to jump in for just a second, Mike.
46:08
That caller was talking about his governor in a different state because he wasn't from Texas.
46:12
Oh, I apologize.
46:13
So he was calling Mike DeWine a Rhino, who is a Rhino.
46:17
He wasn't talking about our governor here.
46:19
But he's right is that we call way too many people rhino
46:24
We do call too many people right? Yeah, but Abbott
46:27
I don't think a lot of people would throw the rhino shot at him
46:29
I don't think that would make any sense as you're pointing out. Thank you. Thank you for correcting me. No problem
46:35
I do want to say something else to you though
46:37
Because you said the thing that we're hearing a lot and Wayne and I were literally talking about that yesterday
46:41
At Dolcefino consulting when I went over there because I go over all the time now and he's criticizing me for doing it
46:47
but anyway
46:48
The likelihood that the election won't go that great for Republicans, and I'm gonna ask you the dumb question that I don't hear people try to answer a whole lot. Why? In your opinion, why? Is it just Trump? Is there something else? Why do you think there's a likelihood for it to flip so hard?
47:04
I think it's a combination of factors. Trump is a factor in that. He's probably the largest factor in that because the Democrats hate him so much.
47:17
And he's said a lot of dumb stuff and done a lot of dumb antics over the year that drives independents crazy.
47:26
And then the other is gasoline prices.
47:29
Sure.
47:30
Whether we like it or not, gasoline prices affect the low income, less affluent voters.
47:36
They spend a lot more money on gas than they consume, which prices have gone up.
47:42
That's why.
47:42
Yeah, fair enough.
47:43
That's why I think it's good.
47:44
I really appreciate it.
47:45
Thank you for the call, Mike.
47:46
I think he's right about that, about the gas prices specifically, Wayne.
47:49
Oh, yeah.
47:50
And I think what's interesting is to envision a world, and I wouldn't actually want us to
47:54
be in this world because I do inevitably agree with what we did.
47:57
We don't evade Iran.
47:59
Do Republicans retain control?
48:03
Maybe.
48:04
You think so?
48:05
You think it's that simple?
48:06
We don't evade gas prices don't go up.
48:09
We stay in power.
48:11
Well, no, I said maybe because I still think the Trump hatred thing is just so real and
48:15
no matter what he says or does, they're going to find a way to like make it seem like he
48:20
was saying something else.
48:21
And sometimes he does.
48:22
and these last couple of times he didn't.
48:26
He's got to understand that he is the best messenger right now and that's going to change
48:34
though the day after the election.
48:35
It's true.
48:36
It will.
48:37
You know that.
48:37
He becomes a lame duck after the election.
48:39
Well, not just that.
48:40
They're going to try to impeach him multiple times.
48:42
They're just going to go after him.
48:43
That's all it's going to be.
48:44
I hate to say I hope they do, but I think that would be the hugest mistake.
48:49
Like if the Democrats want to stop this pendulum thing, which I think has been made much worse
48:56
by closed primaries, and I don't say it, and I know I'm going to make a lot of conservatives
49:01
mad and I don't say it for that, I say it because I also believe in reality.
49:08
I believe we can win the argument for the future, but we have to be the people we say
49:16
we are. That if you if people don't believe that you really give a crap about them and
49:25
that you're just in it for yourself, that is a very difficult hurdle to overcome. I
49:32
would suggest that that needs to be fixed. So we yeah, going into 2028, it is not the
49:40
narrative that we're all a bunch of corrupt fools. Yeah, I really do. And to be honest
49:44
of the man, what I think is also interesting about it is Republicans and specifically Trump
49:49
have run against that type of belief on the other side, that there are a lot of people
49:52
who are out for themselves, who are corrupt, who are, they're promising you things and
49:56
not delivering.
49:57
And once that starts to be something that you accuse.
50:00
Our side of doing too, I think it hurts those few people that were winning on that message.
50:06
It feeds the narrative of these young people who want to go off, get home at 5'10".
50:14
You know, part of the reason why we were so successful is because we worked our butts off.
50:18
Yeah, well, it also feeds, I think, this other thing that I'm seeing within the Conservative
50:22
Party, although it's a young part of the Conservative Party and a disgruntled part of the Conservative
50:26
Party, just giving up on everything.
50:28
There are people who just when you see neither side deliver for you cheap gas prices the ability to go buy your house
50:36
You want to blow the whole thing up and or?
50:39
Trust mum Dami to hand it to you through the government like both of those are dangerous and bad thoughts
50:44
But I think they're happening a lot now that people are like I put this guy in power
50:49
And I thought it was gonna be different and my life's the same in this or this way and so now I just want to
50:53
Give up on the whole thing
50:55
look I
50:56
I see it. I see there's ways to explain what's going on. And Trump's inability to talk to
51:08
people... Look, I believe he's right about a lot of this stuff, and he's playing chess,
51:14
not checkers. I understand that. But if you can't explain to the average uninformed person
51:22
why we're doing what we're doing. It's like if you can't beat impacts and talk
51:28
about why it's important for Texas to remain Texas, that these values
51:35
that Republicans have are just, it's Texas. Yeah, Don't Shurea my Texas was one of
51:41
the t-shirts from the event we went to. Go ahead. Yeah, I mean I grew up in Brooklyn
51:45
but I've lived there 50 years. I know Texas in that sense, right? I'm not
51:50
some like, you know, farmer out and get it or something.
51:54
But I get it.
51:55
And I don't believe James
51:57
Hallerico is who we are.
51:59
He's he's the antithesis of what a regular Texan would be.
52:02
So but I but he's also very effective at turning it around.
52:06
Yeah.
52:07
Say, oh, I don't even have sex change surgeries for killing.
52:11
No, I've never said that a bunch of times before in the past.
52:14
Well, may have.
52:15
But you know, you could lie to people and get away with it.
52:18
Well, and he honestly is really tapping into that thing
52:20
that people are just frustrated and they want to throw a grenade at the entire system. And
52:23
James Talarico is our horrible version of a grenade because he would do so much damage
52:29
to Texas. But he has not said those horrible things in a while. And so people start forgetting
52:35
because he's come up with the ways. That's true. I don't understand about the pax the
52:39
people either. He can't do it or you can't help him come up with 10 second answers and
52:45
I had to deal with this stuff.
52:47
Yeah, you're right.
52:47
That's true.
52:48
We'll be back tomorrow.
52:49
Wayne will probably have a set of headphones
52:51
that isn't trying to rip his head off.
52:53
We'll figure that out.
52:54
On the Voice of Texas KSEV 700 AM,
52:57
the Mob Guys, your morning show.
52:59
How you doing?
53:00
I was caught in the middle of a railroad track.
53:07
Thunder on the ground.
53:10
And I knew there was no turning back.
53:14
Thunder, Batman Grace, in a thought, what could I do?
