Early Voting Turnout, the Strait of Hormuz, JD Vance and Diesel Prices · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: And now.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: The mob guys, Krayko, Yelling Dolce.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Now he doesn't want to do it. Now he doesn't
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: want to do it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: On... we're going to go to the mattresses this morning
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: because it's early voting it is and it's time to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: get off your duff and go vote uh vote twice
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: uh Bring a dead mail-in vote with you. Can we
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: say that? Can we advocate mail? I don't know.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we can.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I just did too late. A lot of local races.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: My firm has been involved in some investigations. There's videos
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: we've been doing on the district attorney in Fort Bend County,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Brian Middleton, who is one of the Soros prosecutors, one
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of the guys that was elected in part with a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: ton of money from George Soros. In Fort Bend, there
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: was a big fake hate scandal over the last few
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: years where there was a guy named Taral Patel who
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was running for Congress. And he was making posts under
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: fake people's names that made Republicans all look like we
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: were racist towards South Asians. Of course, there's a huge
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: South Asian population there. And Brian Middleton's office prosecuted them.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But there's some tape recordings and text messages that we've
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: obtained that showed that it sure sounded like Brian Middleton
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: was in on the game until until it became too
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: big of a problem to ignore. That all these Democrats
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: out there all knew about this fake hate thing and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: thought it was real funny until it wasn't. And when
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I see a prosecutor talk the way and I really
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: invite people. To go online, especially our Fort Bend County listeners,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: go online and, you know, don't take my word for it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Listen to the tape. Listen to the text messages. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: think when I hear a DA talking on the phone
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: about protecting people and about, you know, retaliation if you
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: don't play along. Sure. Don't get along with me. That's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: just a DA that just doesn't deserve to be a DA.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: We need DAs that are like equal opportunity offenders.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and when you're running against somebody who's a
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: board-certified criminal law attorney in Sean McDonald who would do
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: a very different job there, it even more screams the
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: point of why are you choosing this person, the Soros-funded
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: person on this side that's doing as much as he
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: can to put criminals back on the street and not
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: someone who would do the opposite?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, I don't normally say who hires us,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, I'm going to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: say what Wayne thinks, and if Wayne doesn't think, I'm
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: not going to say something just because somebody paid me
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a couple of bucks to go say it. I know
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I'm a slime for hire, someone posted the other day,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: which actually has a ring to it. I think I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: might actually make that my motto, slime for hire. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a paid character assassin, the district attorney says. But
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I was hired by the campaign and I'm hired sometimes
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: by political campaigns, not often, but sometimes. And McDonald wanted
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: me to investigate these things, but I have gotten, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: did not know him, didn't know him from Adam before.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And I have found him to be so ethical. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: after I did my video, which he did not see
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in advance, which he did not have anything to do
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: with writing. He actually said, I wish I could pull
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it up. He actually said, I really, in fact, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: think I'm going to, because it's such a good, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I'll just take about 10 minutes to look for it
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: while I'm, while you're, everybody's listening this morning. But he said,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I can't tell enough people how amazing you are and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: how you fight for people to see the light. It's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: good versus evil. And you would unashamedly expose it all.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: And I fully expect if I go down that road,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you come after me as well. First of all, he's right.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: If I ended up helping a campaign expose an opponent
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and the guy that gets in the office partially as
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a result turns out to be a weasel, then I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: will do that for free because I actually think this
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: McDonald guy is ethical as crap. I really do. I've
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: known him 10 years. I don't know how he what
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: he does with his private life. I'm just talking about his,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: his talking to me and what's important to him and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the numbers he's putting out, showing how domestic violence prosecutions
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: are way down, which I think is a problem for
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: women voters out there. That the DA is talking with, look,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I'm a foul language guy. People know me. I'm a, right. Sure.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. I don't cuss on the air. I understand. Right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: When you come over here, I say like, I drop
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: F-bombs every five seconds, right? That's just me. But when
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you're a district attorney and you're talking, I just think
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you don't do that with politically. You don't say, hey.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I think you censor yourself.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I even censor myself occasionally, right? Now, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: have because I'm on social media now. I do say
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: BS a lot more. I do play– What people actually say,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: because I don't really like bleeping things because I think
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it does ruin the the, you know, the content. Yeah, personally.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm a big believer in that. But I just
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: think that's going to be a pretty big race is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a big race in Missouri County. Eugene Howard, who's running
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: as a Democrat, who we did a video on, who
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: apparently showed his pee pee to a woman.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That's not good. That's bad.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: No, that's a great look. I think you should run
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: on that. I think you should say, elect me because
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I send nude pictures to women.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what's funny?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny about this is some of these
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: things that these guys are accused of that are on
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the left, if it's a Republican, they would act as
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: though this definitely makes him incapable of being a politician.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Like if the same sin exists on the other side,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: or even a lesser sin exists on the other side,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: they'd go after it as if it was the most
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: important part of the election. In this case, they want
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: to ignore that and pretend it was like a one-off mistake.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what the exact excuse was. What was
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the excuse he gave for that? Or does he deny
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it completely?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I think he said the pee-pee thing that she walked
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in on him while he had his pee-pee on. And
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: then he said the video of him, or I think him,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: having sex with someone, and he said she wanted me to.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And then in Brazoria County, we have him, we have...
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: an independent of the Cinda Henry, and that's going to
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: be interesting to see how much that independent gains. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: then we have the former Freeport port commissioner, Rob Grieske,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: who's running, and he's been saddled with these nonsense allegations
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: about AI. And look, I share concerns about these data
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: centers in the sense of how they are being brought
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to a town. That I.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: You don't surprise people with that, right? You say, hey,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: this is what's going on. Here's our process. Here's why
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: we think it works, blah, blah, blah. I also think
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that you have to make sure that the data centers
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: don't have a mass negative effect on the economy in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: terms of water and utilities, right? Because these data center
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: people obviously have money coming out their butt so they
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: can afford to do things that will make it better.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: But This whole data centers are evil thing, I just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: think is just a dumb thing. Look, I get it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I get the community's concern because I think a lot
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: of these deals are done in dark, and then by
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the time people find out about them, they're– and I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: don't like that. But I also understand that there is
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a reality of the world now that if we don't compete.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: No, and I think it's opportunistic.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: To be totally honest with you, I do think that
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: right now the data center thing, it's inevitable. Because as
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you said, competition with China is one of many, many
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: reasons that this is going to become more and more
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: ubiquitous throughout the entire country.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: We're going to have data centers all over the place.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: You can't just tell people that don't want it that
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: they have to take it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Like you need to have a conversation. But it's necessary
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and it will continue to be necessary.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's an.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Opportunity for the Democrats to shape it as a Republican
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: thing when they'll do it, too. Like the data center
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: thing won't say it might stop to the degree it's going.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: If the other side gets in power, they might slow
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it down a bit, much to our detriment if China
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: takes a lead on us. But they're not going to
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: stop it completely because it's a it's a rolling avalanche
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: of a thing that I don't think can be stopped
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: at this point. A lot of people are turning to A.I.,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: for more and more things that happen at work. Like
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, a lot of companies, and it
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: will keep being a huge byproduct of how we fight wars,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: how so much of our technology advances, AI will be
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a core component of it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So data centers, inevitable.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Can I make you AI instead of you?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Uh can we do that during the break.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Sure let's go with an ai craig uh for the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: next segment you got to tell him what you want
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: him to say or if you just want him to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: shut up for the whole segment he can do that too.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I think that the less less is more less.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Is more okay uh we'll see because i'm not going
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to follow that rule quick blake a lot more ksev
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: radio the voice of texas we're the mob guys uh
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: uh in your morning show.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: All right, it's the Mob Guys here on AM700 KLCB.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: It's a Monday. It is the beginning of early voting.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Get out of your chairs. Go vote. Tell all your friends,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: your relatives, because the battle is officially underway. All this
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: other stuff has been just pregame. This is the game now.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And we'll be looking to see who's turning out where.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I'll be really interested to to see a vote in
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the African-American communities because I listen to some folks who
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: are telling me that the mail-in ballot applications were down
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: a lot in the African-American community. That could be an indication,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: an early indicator, that black folks ain't so hot on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: some of these Democratic candidates because just like the Republican
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Party is going through some stuff, the Democratic Party is
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: too as it is becoming– more influenced by socialists and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: communists or ne'er-do-wells or whatever you want to call them.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: And black folk culturally are not liberal. They're pretty conservative.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And Hispanic folks are very conservative. Are Hispanic folks going
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to embrace– that's why Michigan is kind of interesting, right?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Are black folks going to come out in Michigan– Are
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: black folks going to come out in Texas when Jasmine Crockett,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you know, didn't endorse. Right. I mean, I think that's
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: going to be one of the interesting stories of this election.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And then we know everybody's mad at Donald Trump, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's name is not on the ballot. And, you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: how is are they going to be more mad at him?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I know people are frustrated about gas prices. I blame
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that in part. on not selling what we were going
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to do in Iran before we did it. I think
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: we would have bought ourselves some more cushion. I also
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: think that I think there's a lot of people in
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the White House that would be bombing Iran today, but
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: they're afraid they're going to make it worse. Right?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's true.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But I think after the election, if I'm Trump
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: on the morning after the election, I bomb.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Sure. I think you bomb now, to be honest. It's whatever.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Well, but I'm classier than you, so I don't like
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to rock the boat.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: No, no, you like to wait a little longer.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I like to play the long game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: No, I would say that it'll be very interesting to
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: see what early voter turnout is and where it's coming from.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: And I think there are a lot of people who
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: are disenfranchised on both sides of the aisle. I think
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: there's people on the right and the left who believe
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: their party is too extreme for them and that because
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: of that extremity, they'd rather just sit around and not
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: vote than go out and vote.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I also think that the inability of Republicans, and I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: say this as a conservative, the inability of Republicans to
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: at least try to pretend that they're trying to fix
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: some of these structural issues, the issues of housing and
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: how much it costs to get into a house and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: how much a house costs with interest rates is problematic.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I do think health care is all screwed up. I do.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I just got notified the other day that my, that
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: my United Medicare thing is not going to be available
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: for me next year. I guess this as good as
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: it was. And, and so I'm, I'm, you know, luckily
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I have someone that helps me with that, but, but
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't. And I, I, you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: as a senior now, I, I don't understand any of
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: that stuff. And, and I just think healthcare is all
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: messed up. My daughter is on Obamacare until she gets married. And,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: She thinks it's the worst insurance company she's ever seen
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: in her life.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It is the worst.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: And I'll say this about mortgage rates, because you said
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: that Republicans need to do a better job of messaging
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: But Democrats do a horrible job of creating horrible interest rates.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: When Biden took office in 2021, interest rates were at
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: a record low of two point seven seven percent. When
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: he left office, they were at over seven percent. So
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Biden single handedly created a a, you know, 300 percent
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: increase in what a typical mortgage rate is for a house.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: That's the kind of thing that they pretend isn't true.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: And then it is true when they're in office. And
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: then the people who voted for them wind up even
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: more hurt by their policies than they believe they're going
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but look, people, right or wrong, have a very
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: short-term memory. They do. The reality is the price increases.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: The vast majority of it, 80%, 90%, went up during
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Biden's administration because they spent all that money on COVID nonsense.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Right? They still spend it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Still do.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Still do. the, the tariffs, while they have raised some prices,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think the tariffs are responsible for skyrocketing is
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the word that CNN uses, right? That they're skyrocketing, right?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that, but, but, but the tariffs can
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: be explained as well. What I, what I, I, what
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I never hear, what I hear too much of from Trump,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: from my taste is it, it is because I did it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Like I, I say it so, so it's so. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: think you have to bring people along. They need to
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: understand more of what we're doing, right? What the theory is,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: what the future is. People are frustrated, but I don't
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: think it's I think it's a more legitimate frustration than
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: young people in previous generations who who were mad at
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the man and mad at rich people. I think the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: growing wealth inequality is an issue.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I think the tax code is an issue. And I
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: think do I think tax and billionaires are going to
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: get us out of this mess? Of course not. Of
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: course not. But but. Do I think it's becoming a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: issue that we can no longer ignore? Yeah, I do.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but what does that mean, I guess? And I
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: don't mean this for just you. I mean this for
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: the politicians because the solutions that have been offered by
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: the left are horrible. The solutions that could be offered
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: by the right, I think they're better, but I don't know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I think that part of what you have to live
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: with is the the cards you're dealt the life that
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: you're given and in the world you live in now
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: capitalism still much better than communism than socialism yeah exactly
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: and even if it's gotten to a point where there
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: are some people who disproportionately out like there there's there's
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: the tippy top of the one percent that make that
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: number look so much worse than it actually is like
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: if you if you remove the elon musk's of the
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: world the trillionaires of the world It looks better. But yeah,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: wages need to go up. And I think that there's
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: a responsibility on the people themselves. I know a lot
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: of people who accepted the salary they were offered without
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: even attempting to negotiate it because they didn't think they should.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: And that's people early in their career. That's people later
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: in their career. And that's just wrong. Part of what
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: you're making, you have some capability to try to push
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: for more. I do think that it's hard to blame
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: just the rich guys and say that they're the only
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: part of the problem because I know too many people
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: have taken too little and they could have convinced their
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: company to go a little bit higher. And that might've
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: made their life a little bit better. There has to
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: be some responsibility and some blame thrown that way.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I don't believe in wage increases personally for
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: my staff. I really don't. I pay you what I
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: paid you and that's it. That's the rest of your life. Look,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: the problem for me, and I'm being serious here is
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: if part of my problem is that I, people keep
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: getting more money and there's only so much you can
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: charge for a service before it becomes, you know, like
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I'm good, but I'm not like, you know, worth, I'm
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: not like $ 1, 500 an hour. Good. I guess I am.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think I am, but you know what
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I mean? Yeah. And, and so, The only way it
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: works for me is to basically employ slaves. And I
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: know we're not supposed to say that, but I don't care.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I haven't said anything particularly inappropriate.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I think today has been nice. But again, I think
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: that there are people who don't accept any blame for
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: the situation they're in, any at all. And even if
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: it's like 1%, 5% of the blame, if you've been
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: truly an unlucky person in your life, I think I
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: think you still have to act as though you are
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: in control of your destiny more than you are, more
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: than you might believe yourself to be. And that that
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: usually winds up paying dividends, because, as I said, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: do know a lot of people. I mean, they were
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: joking about this for a while, like Gen Z was
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: bringing mom and dad to their job interview in order
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: to negotiate the salary after. Like, that's a real thing.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know how often it occurred, but it was
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: a real thing. And it shows you how little conflict
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: is even acceptable to some people. And conflict can be good,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: especially early on. If you say, hey, if you want
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: me to have a master's degree, I can't take $ 40, 000
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: a year.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Actually, I'll tell you this, Wayne. I overheard a woman yesterday.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I can't remember where we were.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: We must have been at some kind of restaurant talking
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: to her friend about her daughter. And her daughter just
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: finished her master's degree. Did this there's so many great
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: things and then the guy goes and where's she working
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: oh she's at some grocery store it's like what what
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: do you mean that's what and she's like that's what
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: she could find right now so she'll figure it out as.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: She's hard to find a job i i know.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: But at the same time I think if you accept
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: something so little, then maybe you have the wrong master's.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: If her master's is in education and she didn't find
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the right avenue for it, maybe she studied the wrong thing.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe she studied African-American studies. Right. Right. Which is great,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: which is great education.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Even if it's hard to get a job, I can't
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: imagine that with a valuable education to that degree, the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: best you can do is working at a grocery store.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Can I share something that I overheard this weekend since
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: both of us are apparently spying on people's conversations?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why not?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I was in Austin. I went into a convenience store.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: And there was a Pakistani couple there. And I'm not
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: saying that because I knew they were Pakistani, but the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: woman had one of those things over her head, and
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: her husband, and she was buying sunglasses. And they got
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: into a conversation with the guy behind the counter, who
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I learned, even though I didn't care, was from Nepal.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: So they're from Pakistan, he's from Nepal. And it was like,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: as I was waiting just to get my pack of cigarettes,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I swallowed my cigarettes so I could get on the road.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: They're discussing... about how great the economy is in Ethiopia
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and Nepal was doing great too. And I don't know
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: why it tweaked me, but I got tweaked. I didn't
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: like rip the thing off the woman's head. I didn't
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: do anything, you know, that would be in the papers,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: nothing in the papers. But I was tweaked by it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I'm glad he's from Nepal and I'm
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: glad they're from Pakistan, but I never, there was no like, Hey,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: it's really great being here. Right. Right. When did you come?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: They're immediately complaining about the place they're choosing to live
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: and they're happier about the place they're not in anymore.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't that they were complaining. I mean, they
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: didn't say, I hate America. I don't want to overdo it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that their whole conversation was about how
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: great things are in the countries where they left. So
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: why did you leave if it was so great?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Just tweet me. I just wonder.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. And I hear that a lot, too.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: And they talk about that a lot, too, about people
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: who are mad that like American influence has ruined other countries.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: You hear that a lot.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: You hear people say that, you know, we have so
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: many immigrants fleeing here because the capitalist society we live
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: in has ruined.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: These other countries and other places.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're bad people. Right.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: But then why run to us is always my question.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: If we're the ones who ruined it, why would you
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: move here?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: That makes no sense.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Quick break. A lot more. This is KSEV Mornings on
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: The Voice of Texas. He is Wayne Dolcefino. I am
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Craig Colonese.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: We call ourselves the Mob Guys, and we'll be right back.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: All right. Am I on? Can you hear me, Craig?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: KSEV AM 700. The Mob Guys. I'm in my office
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: over on Richmond Avenue. Dolcefino Media. Corporate headquarters. Don Corleone
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: behind me. And then we've got Craig in that really ugly...
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: colored rug studio with a cardboard $ 10 sign that says
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: he works for AM 700.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: We could fix that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: But we are the voice of Texas where conservatives find
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: their voice. And look, we'll talk to a liberal because we,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we want to help them. Sure. I think part of,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: you know, we're, we both have degrees in medicine, right?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: And psychology.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: It feels like it sometimes.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So, so I, I think, I'd like to, in fact,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: invite Democrats to join us and tell us why we
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: need more PPs in women's bathrooms. I think that would
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: be a great topic.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: 281-558-5738 is the phone number to call in.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: 281-558-5738. We got a giveaway. We do.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: We can go ahead and give.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Away a set of tickets, two tickets to Wings Over
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Houston to our fifth caller right now at that very
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: same phone number, 281-558-5738. That's two general admission tickets to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: enjoy what is a really great event.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been recently, but Wings Over Houston.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I've never been.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Never been. Never been.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: All right, we got to go. Wings Over Houston is awesome.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: The Blue Angels will be back last year because of
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: some things.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: They skipped it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: But this year they'll actually be there and they're, they're
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: a huge draw. And then actually the tour, tour, tour
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: thing is also pretty amazing. The Pearl Harbor thing that
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: happened as well.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: With real Japanese guys in the plane.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I've never checked. I have no idea. I have no idea.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I think we should check.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: But if you get real close to that, the flames
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: that are created from the fake bombing stuff, it's significant.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Like you feel your face.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Your face gets kind of hot.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I have never been.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Is it always Halloween weekend?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's always a weekend toward the end
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: of October, sure. But yeah, I don't know. It's fun.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: It's a fun time. My wife and I had a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: blast last year.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, you guys get along. That's good. So
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: have we had five calls yet?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: 281-558-5738.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: The fifth caller right now will win a free pair
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: of tickets to Wings Over Houston.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: 281-558-5738. I think we should have made it the 97th
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: caller because, first of all, that was kind of my intent,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: was that Russell would have to answer the phone at
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: least 96 times. And what does he say? KSEV, you're
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: number one? And you hang up? Does he talk to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the person?
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: When I used to do it, I would just say
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: the call letters and be like, I'm sorry, you're not
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: the winner, and hang up.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Because you'd have to go on to the next call.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: That's pretty rude.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: You've got to do it, man.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Sorry, you're not the winner. Click.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Well, if you're getting a bunch of calls, because like,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: you know, at WGN Radio in Chicago, we do this,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: and it would be like the 15th caller, 20th caller,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: and you've got to get through it as quick as possible.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people hang up on me a lot.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Now, we've got full phone lines now, so I'm sure
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: we'll get there.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: People hang up on me an awful lot. Are we
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: going to announce the name of the winner?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we can.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: If Russell wants to pass it on whenever he gets
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: whoever won, we'll go ahead and do that part.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Can we show their picture? We get pictures.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: We cannot. Unless they send it to us.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to class this operation up.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Well, starting tomorrow, we're going to be able to see
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: the video of all the clips we play again.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Wow. We'll have to get up for that. Wow. Wow.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Did you just crap on our own show?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: What a moment in broadcast history.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Come on. We're worthy of the wake-up.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Or you can watch us on any of the social media.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Can I add one more thing about France that I
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: meant to say, but I sort of went off into,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm like a butterfly. I start talking about
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: one thing and I switch. So one of the problems
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: in France is the high energy prices, as is a
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: problem everywhere because of of the Iranians. Right. And, and
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: these people that want us to leave think that somehow
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: that's not going to embolden Iran to start charging money,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: which is going to keep prices high, but Hey, that's
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: a lot. I don't want to confuse this, but, but
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I guess where I was thinking, like has France sent
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: a single boat to help us patrol Iran? the Hormuz Strait?
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: No.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think as Europe sent a single boat. Now,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I get it. Their feelings were hurt that we didn't
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: tell them in advance or ask their permission to defend
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: our country. But last time I remember, I don't know
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: how much money we spent, how much money you and
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I and all the listeners spend on protecting Spain and
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: France and Germany and all these places, right? Hundreds of
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: billions of dollars we spent. And you don't have to
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: agree with what we did, but the reality is we
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: are where we are. And I don't understand why these
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: countries are not sending ships to tell Iran, look, I
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: don't care if your feelings got hurt. I don't care
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: that we blew up the Ayatollah nicely done. I don't
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: care about that. We care about energy prices. This is
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: an international waterway or just Pay them at Oman. Have
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: some fee for their administration of the thing. I don't
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: give a crap, really. But I don't understand why countries
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: like France aren't at least sending some symbolic help.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: You know, it's really funny about that. If you look
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: it up, they have definitely planned it. They're not doing anything,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: but I guess some of the countries in Europe, including
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: the UK and France, got together to plan how they
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: would escort ships with their military, you know, with their
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: military vessels.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Through the Strait of Hormuz.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But they haven't done it. They haven't done it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: They met to talk about it, and then they broke
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: for lunch, and they haven't gotten back together yet.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: With friends like this, man, who needs enemies?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: And, you know, you said protect our country, but it's
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: really protect the world. Iran is the biggest sponsor of
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: terrorism around the world, and they don't just dislike us.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: They dislike a whole lot of people.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: And so it's kind of amazing that you wouldn't, for
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: your own benefit, say protect the Strait of Hormuz.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: And Trump has pointed out a lot.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: How much less gas we get from there than other
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: places get from there. If you depend on gas from
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz, you should be making sure that
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: it's open.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do worry about the diesel stuff, though, especially
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: in the Midwest. I do worry about I'm not a
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: farmer as you, as you know, well documented.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I can figure that out.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But I want to answer, but I do worry
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: about diesel prices. I'm hoping, and that's why sometimes in politics,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I think you have to concede that things aren't, I mean,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: when Trump comes out and says it's the greatest economy
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: in the world and everything is great, right? It's one
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: thing to say everything will be great because we've got
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: some short-term pain to get to the other side, to
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: bring back jobs. And that's why I did tariffs, to
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: bring back jobs. And we've got all this investment. Every
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: time I hear him talking about investment, it's a different number.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's up to $ 23 trillion now. Maybe that's real.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's just blowhard stuff. But I do think sometimes
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: people need a little empathy. I hear you, but let
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: me tell you why I know this is going to
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: come down. After the election, one way or the other,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Iran watches TV. They watch American media. They know how
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: to play. And that's why I've been so critical of
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the criticisms of the war, because once we start bombing
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: and sending our troops in harm's way, I don't like
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: doing anything that makes our troops more vulnerable.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Me neither.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Right? And that's always been my, where I come down
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: on military stuff.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: That once we go, you support the commander in chief.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: You don't leak, you know, that we've used up some
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: of our missiles. Well, no kidding. When you drop a
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: thousand bombs, you've used up some of your inventory. I mean,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: that's sort of a dull moment. Yeah.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's really interesting.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: J.D.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Vance was asked a question recently by a Gold Star husband.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: His wife was killed by a drone in the fight
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: in Iran. And he asked J.D.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Vance why some things there are not being fought the
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: way that they should be fought and essentially referenced that
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: his wife was telling him that there were mistakes being
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: made that allowed for Iran to use a drone to
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: kill somebody.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: And I thought J.D. Vance gave a really good answer
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to that question.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: When he said, if there's something that we're doing that's wrong,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: I want you to tell me. I want you to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: tell me offline, not here. Like, I haven't heard the
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: missteps that maybe you're referring to right now. But more
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: important than that, as someone who served in our military, too,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: he does want to make sure we protect our military
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: and drones are cheap and deadly. And so it's a
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: uniquely challenging world that we live in right now from
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: a military standpoint. But As you just said, and as
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I think I heard them talk about in that back
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: and forth question, protecting our men and women of the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: military is of the utmost importance to us. And any
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: way we go about doing that, whether it's fighting drones
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: with other drones, is obviously something we have to be
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: fully prepared to commit to.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because all the criticisms, and look, I'm fine with,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: you know, people got First Amendment rights, whatever the hell
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: they want, I don't care. But All the criticisms have
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: emboldened Iran to believe that there's going to be a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: political revolution. And as a result of that, we're going
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: to do what the Democrats suggest, which is just to leave. Right.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: That's what the Democrats want us to do. They just
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: want us to leave. And OK, let's say we leave.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: What happens? Does Iran say, well, we finally got what
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: we want. We don't need any more missiles. Right. I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: don't think so, kids. I don't think so. And they're
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: just going to start charging people and everyone's going to
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: be paying a bribe to Iran and Oman for the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: use of the Strait of Hormuz and gas prices will
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: not come down. That's the problem with a lot of
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: the Democrat stuff for me. It's like you say, we
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: should end the war. Well, no kidding, Sherlock. I mean,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: we should. I would love to end the war, right?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I would have ended it. Four months ago, because the
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: place would be rubble. Right. It would look like Gaza does. Right.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: And we could be accused of genocide. Right. Whatever. But but,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: you know, war is war.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: You win a war. You don't play a.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: War for a job.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Here's the other thing that you're saying a second ago
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: is like you do have to sound as though you're compassionate.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: You do have to say, like, we're seeing the pain
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: that you're seeing and we're not pretending it doesn't exist.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: But you don't have to actually offer solutions because Democrats
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: aren't offering them. And they're gaining support by saying out
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: loud that, you know, we see the problems that are
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: being caused by the other side right now. And when
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: they do give us solutions, the solutions are horrible. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: so it's amazing to hear somebody say everything will be free.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: The government will pay for everything and we'll get all
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: the money from the rich people because that won't work
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: and it'll be terrible. And then also that we feel
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: your pain and that's enough.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: That's right. And look, the inability of Democrats to. to
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: tell you how they're going to make things more affordable
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: because the reality is they won't. The Obama subsidies, Obamacare,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: even if you believe it was well-intentioned, is a mess, right?
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of the companies are horrific and you have
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: really high deductibles. It doesn't work. I like Trump's idea,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: not just Trump, but about letting people buy healthcare where
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: they want across state lines. Yeah. Well, we can't even
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: do that. We can't make it, we can't open up
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: the marketplace so that insurance companies can cater their product
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: to a certain community. And maybe the answer is yes.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe the answer is no. I do believe that it
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: is something that we need to do. And Democrats are
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: not telling us how they're going to make the price
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: of Gummy bear is more affordable.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Outside of get all the money from the rich and
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: then give it to everybody else.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing they usually say.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Tax the rich. Right.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: And then trust us with it because we'll get the
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: money in between. Quick break. A lot more. I know
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: we've got a winner to our contest. We'll announce it
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: after this. I can't wait. KCB Radio, the voice of Texas.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Wake up. Go to work.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: AM 700 KSED, the mob guys, Craig Coladay, Ray Del Capino,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: here on a Monday morning when voting has started. I'm
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: looking at my text messages, and I have employees calling
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: in sick. I have Teresa opening my door.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: And trying to bother me. Don't you know I'm on the.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Radio with Craig Coladay? How dare you?
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: By the way, Jack Koch, I think, was the name
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: of the guy that won the tickets. Jack, congratulations to
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: get two tickets. To go to Wings Over Houston.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Jack's going to call me. He's going to want me
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: to hang out with him.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: He is. Are you going to go? Do you want
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: to go to Wings Over Houston this year?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I would love to go, but it's Halloween weekend, and
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I'm with my grandkids. You're busy. Well, because Halloween's a
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: big deal in my house. It is. It's my favorite holiday.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I like Christmas, right? It's Halloween. It's your favorite. But
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I really like October. October is the month I got married.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: October is the month my son was born. October is Halloween.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Renaissance Festival comes to town. I love this time of year.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: The weather was phenomenal this weekend. It was really chilly
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: this morning.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more because Halloween is my birthday.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Is it really? Yeah.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I was born on Halloween.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: My mom went to sleep the night before Halloween, and
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: I guess she prayed to God.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Do we care about this story? I don't know. Tell me.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: She prayed to God not to have me the next day,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: and then her water broke when she woke up.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: That was the whole story.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Because she didn't want to have you on Halloween?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: She just thought Halloween would be too hectic, too chaotic,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and then boom. I came out right away.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: You've got to throw in a baby coming down the tube.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: That gets very complicated.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: That's great. Did you care about the story? I'll check
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: with you now.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: No, no, I think it's an interesting story.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: What does your mom wear for Halloween?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think she dressed up that year.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Although the nurse that took her blood was dressed like Dracula.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: That's always reassuring.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: That happened, yeah.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: And my two sisters were mad because my grandmother took
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: them trick-or-treating with coats.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: On because she thought it was going to be cold.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a story that will affect someone's mental health forever. Yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: they hated me. Everybody needs to check their mental health traumas.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I think we have become a society of like, you know,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: my wife always accuses me of, I forget the word
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: they use. My wife and my kids have analyzed me
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: that I say a lot of things just to for
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: some psychological reason, right? They think I'm mentally ill, which
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: is probably true, right? It hasn't really come up in
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: any of my lawsuits, but I'll be the first to
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: admit that I'm, I'm a little weird, but I don't,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I don't dwell on it every day. Like I see
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: so many people on the news dwelling about it and
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't understand what's happening. I really, I
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: got to tell you, and I think a lot of
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: people listening to us right now are going to share this.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I think we are so screwed in this country. Sure. Okay.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: We've gotten soft.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: We have.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: We don't want to work a second job.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I was going to say in response to the health thing,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I think sometimes people think anything that's hard means you
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: have a health-like problem, a mental health problem. And the
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: reality is that life is just hard, that some things
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: you have to get over without going and getting medicine
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: We do have a call. Mike is on the line.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Mike wants to talk about diesel prices.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Mike, what do you want to say? Well, I'd like
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: to see you guys. You have a great show. I
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: really enjoy it. Thank you. I have been talking about
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: this one thing, but the polls in Kansas and Iowa,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: the Republicans are heading Kansas by one point. The Republican
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: in Iowa is down a couple of points. They're basically
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: neck and neck. The problem with Kansas is diesel prices
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: are astronomically high in the Rust Belt where the farmers are.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: And it affects farmers. It affects truck drivers. And when
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: you affect those two things like that big time, it
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: affects food prices. And people out there are not happy.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: And these are Republican voters now. These are not. If
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: we lose those two seats, We're going to lose the Senate.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Even if we carry Texas, which I think we will,
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: it looks like things are tightening and Paxton's going to
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: pull it out. They are. But if we lose those,
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: that'll be three seats we lose. You know, we might
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: even lose, if the wave goes, we might even lose
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Collins up in the Northeast in Maine.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: That's still pretty close. But regardless, if we lose the Senate,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: we can't get any judges through. We can't get any
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: appointments through. That's right.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Basically, the....
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Conservative agenda is dead. Now, I all agree with Trump
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: about taking out Iran's nuclear capability. 150% for that. Okay?
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: But I do not feel the same way about the
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Strait of Hormuz. If you were to combine the Western
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Hemisphere oil reserves, we have almost as much as the
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: Middle East. And I'm talking about North and South America.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: And there's ways to work that. But I do not
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: support putting combat troops into Iran, that would be a
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: huge mistake. I think that's the wrong way to go.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to do that. But something's
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: got to give. If we lose, there's a.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: I would say one thing in response to it, Mike,
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: because I don't know what it means when you say
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: boots on the ground or a version of it, which is,
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: I think, kind of what you said there, because I
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: do want to take Karg Island, for example, and I
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: think you've got to take that by force, and I
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: think that might involve people. So there are scenarios where
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: in order to reopen the strait completely, the U.S. has
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: boots on the ground in land that is traditionally thought
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: to be Iran.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Does that mean that we're in the heart of Iran?
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: No.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: But does that mean we're on the outskirts of it? Yeah.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: Well, that may be true. That may be the only
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: exception to what I'm talking about. Taking Karzai may be
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: a military option that limits your exposure to some degree. So, yeah,
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: but going into mainland Iran would be a huge.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, sure.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: And I don't think Trump wants to do that.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think he needs to.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I just don't see the president focused on
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: this right now. He's more focused on himself and how
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: smart he is and threatening people with jail because of the,
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: you know, because they disagree with DHS. That doesn't win elections.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Now's the time to win elections. And that's all I
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: got to say.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: And look, I share the frustration because now's the time
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: to win elections, right? And I do think Republicans and
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: I think conservatives too, I think conservatives are splitting. I
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: think the MAGA coalition is splitting because there are people
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: that are against Israel, there are people that are for Israel,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: there are people that are for the war, there are
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: people that are against the war, but One of the
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: big questions is going to be, and he was talking
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: about Kansas, and Kansas goes left sometimes. I mean, Kansas
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: is not just a Republican. They have like a liberal governor, right?
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: So it's not like no Democrats win there. I do
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: think they are thinking about the daily problem. And if
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Republicans don't acknowledge that, that there's pain and here's our
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: plan to get out of it, I think it hurts them.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: And it's sad because those guys, the commies and the
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: left-wing folks, if people think bringing back the people who
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: caused the fire, right, bringing back the arsonists is a
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: good idea, well, that's what we're getting ready to do.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: God bless you. Craig Colanese.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Wayne Dolcefino on The Voice of Texas.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: See you guys tomorrow. Hey, we'll talk to you tomorrow.
