Why Prices Stay High, JD Vance and a Gold Star Widow, and a New Report on October 7 · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: KSCV Radio, 700 AM, the voice of Texas.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Thrilled to be with you so, so much.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: So many things out there to talk about. And Wayne
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Dolcefino sitting right there. Wayne, how you doing?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I'm good, man. How are you, Craig? I'm real good.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I had a great weekend, to be honest with you.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I went to the beach, which a lot of people
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: don't do because they disparage the beach here.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: But I kind of like it.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: What do you think of the beach?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I've been to Florida beaches, and so
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I must admit that I do have a preference toward
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: a more white sand beach.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: But I don't blame Galveston for that. I like Galveston.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I am noticing that the microphone you're using right now
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is your computer and not the fancy one in front
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of your face.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: We're hearing, which is fine. It's okay quality. The other
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: quality would be better.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And the way to fix that, Wayne, is something I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: might want to tell you off the air, not on
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the air. There's a button you hit down and you
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: fix some things, but we'll get that fixed at the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: end of the break.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: So once I started unplugging things this morning, that was
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: a recipe for a disaster.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Why did you unplug stuff?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I think my chair caught on my cords.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Well, plus you have a lot of other people that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: work there that might do stuff they might they might
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: change things.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Not at seven o'clock in the.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Morning maybe over the weekend who knows although they don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: work in the weekend.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: So you want me to pay people overtime to come
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: here and help me for free Now. Work here. Is
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: that what you want? What is this, a charity?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, there's so much to talk about.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a tough week in a lot
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: of ways. It's the 9-11 stuff. I was watching a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: couple of the documentaries last night on the the restaurant
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: that used to be at the top of the World
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Trade Center. And I also watched another mini documentary on
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: firefighters from a particular station that I think all did survive,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: a particular station house, one of the earliest crews, but
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: also one that survived. And I thought that was a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: pretty fascinating story. And the campaigns, I thought they were
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: all the time, but apparently this is like the official... Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know why they say that, why they believe that,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but this is what they believe is that now people
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: actually start paying attention.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe, maybe the average person doesn't start. I don't
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: think the average person starts paying attention ever in this country.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I think this notion that, that, you know, we start
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: paying attention now and start formulating what we're going to do.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: If you don't know what you're going to do, in
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: this election and whether or not you're going to vote
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: by now, then I'm not really sure what you would need.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't think those people I think
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you're right about that. I think the people who have
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: no idea what to do at this point are just
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not going to vote.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine that they make the time to show up.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think they care, to be honest with you,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: or maybe someone in their family will tell them the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: day before to vote for a thing. But by and large,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I would think most people have decided on this, which
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is what worries me about the polling data. I always
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: think the polling data is wrong and stupid, and it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. But it continues to say that Tallarico
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is ahead, and that's surprising, to say the least.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Well, do you see the poll where it showed that
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Governor Abbott was only up by one against that Hinojosa lady,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: who I'm sure she's a lovely woman. I really didn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: know crap.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: About her, to be honest with you.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Well, and I don't— And I've been looking up over
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the weekend trying to find crap, right? Sure. Not in
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: a major research project or anything. I just was like
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: going online to see what the free shows say. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: you can't really find much about her. I don't know
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: whether or not the op research stuff has ever been
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: done on her because they probably weren't even worried about her.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I got to be honest. I don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: even see any commercials for her. I see the Greg
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Abbott commercial. All the time.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's because I watch like Internet
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: TV and people choose to pay for things in certain
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: places and other places. I don't know if people watching
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: regular TV are seeing the ad as much, but I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: see Greg Abbott's ad.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm not mad about that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I just think that there's obviously got to be some
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: sort of financial difference between the two. Totally different than
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the Tallarico Paxton difference.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and remember, though, remember Lena Hidalgo. So, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: for those who say stupid stuff can't happen, I don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: think anyone thought in the Harris County judge race years
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: ago when it was Ed Emmett was the county judge,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it was popular, right? And then Lena Hidalgo, whatever she did,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I guess, pre-crazy, or maybe she was already crazy, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: don't know. But... But no one knew who she was.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: She was a nobody.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: And she won. And so it's possible. And the stars,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: you know, look, either the stars are lining up or
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: people are just so checked out and freaked out about
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: prices that they want to blame the party in power when,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: in fact, somebody needs to tell people the truth and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: that Neither party can control these prices that went up
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: a lot during COVID and never came down. Right.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's that. I think it's that second
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: part that you just said, too.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm fascinated mostly when I think about this, wondering
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: if at some point you can regain the messaging there,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: because I as you said, I don't think it's conservatives
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: fault outside of the conflict that we're in.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: That a lot of prices are high.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I do think it's still a difficulty in pulling those
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: prices back down once they get up to certain levels.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Companies don't like willfully losing money they're now getting. And
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: so part of the thing, even though we make the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: economy better, all of that, people don't drop prices extremely
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: down from what they are if we're buying stuff. We
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have to stop buying things for the companies to say,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: all right, we're going to really lower this price.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: No, I think that's right. You know what I knew
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: when we were in trouble on prices? And this is
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: going to sound very elitist, but I don't care.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: Whatever.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I hired a handyman in Austin at my house up
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: in Dripping Springs. And I wanted him to, I don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: know what it was, change the smoke detectors or something
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: because I can't get my old butt up there. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: it was like several hundred dollars before he was gone.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: He was there like three hours. And I'm going... And
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be rude that, you know, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: think someone who can do all that kind of handy
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: stuff is really talented. But I'm going like, really?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Especially the amount of time you said he was there.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: If he's there like a half an hour and charges
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you several hundred bucks, that feels wrong.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It just does. And I think nobody now can
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: be the one to say, like even our prices at
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: my company, I mean, the cost of hiring us has
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: doubled over the last three or four years. But everyone's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: salary went up too. And so, sure, everything is expensive,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: but people are still buying stuff, right? I just think
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: the media spends... so much time trying to convince us that,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: you know, we're all doomed because we're paying $ 40 a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: month more for gas, maybe, than we did for six
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: months in order to stop crazy people in Iran. And
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I'm cool with that. Instead of being made to believe, well,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: it's a hardship, but it's a temporary hardship for a
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: long-term gain. They're making us think like it's the end
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: of the world. Yeah. Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: No, I agree with you a lot. I don't know
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: where we go, though, from here, like, to be honest
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And as you said, if we try to pivot the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: conversation back to what is likely to happen in the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: midterm elections.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: People will blame Republicans for prices that they think are
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: too high and believe that they can lower them by
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: voting Democrats in the office. And maybe that's the message
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that people need to hear because they should have learned
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: this lesson already. Even if you put the Democrats in power,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the prices aren't going to go down. In fact, they're
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: actually going to go up because their policies are much
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: worse for the price of everything, everywhere, all the time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: And that's what it is, right? I mean, it's like
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: their solution is horrifically bad for us. It's sort of like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: which crappy alternative would you like?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And plus, I have been saying this to friends of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: mine that aren't sure who to vote for, which I'm
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: mystified is real. And sometimes I think they say that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to me because they know what I do for a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: living and they don't want to get in a political
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: conversation with me. But I've been saying to them that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that if you look at everything going on, if you
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: look at like all the different variables and you say
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to yourself, Democrats have again and again made things more expensive.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Don't you know that putting those people in power is
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: only going to make things more expensive? And if we
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: do leave the war in Iran, we might do it
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the same way we did in Afghanistan. Sloppy and terrible
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and cost lives.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know me, you know why I ran.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have stopped when we stopped in the first place.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And I think once you sort of, once you sort of,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: signal that you're willing to not kick the crap out
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of somebody every minute of the day for every day,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: then they get that signal.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Right. And I think we've been played in some way
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: ever since to a certain degree. Um, By their rhetoric,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and again, I don't like to blame the media for everything,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: but I'm in a very bitter mood this morning. But
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: it's like ridiculous what the media is doing.
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you, I left it up. You got it, man?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: We got to take a break. Yeah, we got the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: music playing. I know you can't hear that. We'll fix
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: that so you can. We got to take a break.

• 14:35
  Speaker 13: A recent client who closed with us had his payment
• 14:37
  Speaker 13: go up about $ 300, but his monthly outgo was being
• 14:42
  Speaker 13: reduced by $ 1, 200, so giving him a net positive cash
• 14:45
  Speaker 13: flow of $ 900. It's not about adding debt, but restructuring
• 14:50
  Speaker 13: it in a way that makes sense. And this math

• 16:05
  Speaker 1: That's from Riverside, by the way.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: It's not on OBS. How you doing, Wayne? Now you're
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: on the phone.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Jeez.
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: I'm doing great. You know, the problem with me is,
• 16:14
  Speaker 14: and this really is when you know you've gotten old, really,
• 16:18
  Speaker 14: is when all of a sudden you have no ability
• 16:22
  Speaker 14: to decipher. I am like the worst person to do
• 16:28
  Speaker 14: anything at the house to fix anything, to try to,
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: that's me.
• 16:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Can I be honest with you about something? I don't
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: want this to sound mean. I don't want it to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: sound mean because it's not you. It's everybody that asks
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: me for fixes. I know how quickly I could fix
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it if I was there and that drives me crazy.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it better than how
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I explained it, but I know that if I was
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: physically there with you, Wayne, it'd be fixed.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: And we'd be on the air the better way in
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: like two seconds.
• 16:57
  Speaker 14: Oh no, I totally get that, right? But like, my
• 17:01
  Speaker 14: microphone is green and it sounds like it's on. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: just don't think it's plugged into anything.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Well, so it's not being registered by our program that
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: is to anyone listening on the radio or wherever.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: It's like Zoom.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And so right now, your Zoom microphone that you're selecting
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: is your computer, not the fancy one that you have
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: at the studio.
• 17:24
  Speaker 14: Yeah, look, this is obviously it's a crisis. It really
• 17:28
  Speaker 14: bothers me a lot. I have to talk to you
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: on the phone. No, look, As long as Don, can
• 17:35
  Speaker 14: you see me?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see you.
• 17:37
  Speaker 14: Okay, so you can see Don Corleone, you can see
• 17:39
  Speaker 14: the concierge, you can see me. That's the other thing.
• 17:45
  Speaker 14: When I call repairmen sometimes to come look at something
• 17:51
  Speaker 14: and they get there and it's like $ 159 or something
• 17:55
  Speaker 14: and then they go, oh, you just turned it off, right?
• 17:58
  Speaker 14: Just flip the switch. That's me, okay? I will pay
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: the $ 159 because I am not smart enough to do
• 18:09
  Speaker 14: it myself.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: And what's funny is if I'm the guy that's called
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to show up at that place where someone's going to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: pay me $ 159 to flip a switch, I pretend it's more. Like,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I take a few extra seconds. I touch some other stuff,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I look around, and then eventually I flip the switch.
• 18:25
  Speaker 14: Well, you're a scammer then. You're the kind of guy
• 18:27
  Speaker 14: that would... You're the guy that would rip people off.
• 18:29
  Speaker 15: I want my money.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I just don't want less money once you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: realize how easy it is. That's the thing. It's not
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: a scammer.
• 18:37
  Speaker 14: I think you're exposing your true character here. It's about
• 18:40
  Speaker 14: the money.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course it is. It's always about the money.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Isn't it?
• 18:43
  Speaker 14: That's why you're in radio.
• 18:45
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so much money in this industry.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: There is a lot of stuff to talk about, as
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: you said, several different topics that you sent me. I'll
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: say this, though, before we get into any of that stuff.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The Republican convention, a very odd midterm convention that you
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: don't see often or ever really, will be happening tomorrow
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and Thursday here in Dallas, in Texas. I do think
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: it's a good idea because I do think the Republican
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Party needs more enthusiasm. And I think the convention is
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: designed to create that for anybody that shows up to it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll create a lot of enthusiasm
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: for people. from afar, but we'll see. But I personally
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: think it might be a good idea. It's just an
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: odd idea.
• 19:30
  Speaker 14: Yeah, look, I don't know that it brings new people
• 19:34
  Speaker 14: to the tent. Maybe it generates some enthusiasm with the
• 19:39
  Speaker 14: base voters who are constantly 24 hours a day getting
• 19:43
  Speaker 14: beat down about what evil fascists we all are. And
• 19:48
  Speaker 14: I think that wears on you, right? I think a
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: lot of people are saying, you know, the hell with it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 14: The country's doomed anyway, right? Why should I, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: why should I bother? And I do think there's some
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: of that. I mean, sometimes it feels... I know we
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: just won a presidential election, and I get it, right?
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: That Trump's a unique kind of figure. But I do
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: worry that as more and more people who don't think
• 20:21
  Speaker 14: like we do come here from places that don't believe
• 20:26
  Speaker 14: anything that we believe, don't we just further deteriorate the pie?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: At what point do you say... you know, maybe we
• 20:38
  Speaker 14: need to, you know, the South shall rise again. I
• 20:40
  Speaker 14: don't know. I'm just saying it's just, I just sometimes
• 20:44
  Speaker 14: get pessimistic about it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I think that a lot of people share
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: that viewpoint of yours, that demographics have changed intentionally, especially
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: in places like, like the funniest byproduct, I don't know
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: if funny is the right word, but the least valuable
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: byproduct of being an attractive place for businesses from West
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Coast or, you know, the Midwest or even, I guess,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: New York City to move their businesses here. And if
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: they take their employees with them to Texas, we're getting
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: some of that imported ideology from the very liberal cities
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that these companies are leaving to come here. Beyond that,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we're also getting people that are simply not from this
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: country that for whatever reason have been given an ability
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to be here, mostly by the Biden administration and the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: wide open border, who don't give a crap about learning
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: what it would be to be a mayor. They don't
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: have any respect for our country. They want to take
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: advantage of it from the moment they're here. So I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: think that those two things together are intentionally changing demographics
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: enough for us to maybe start to have problems in
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: places we didn't expect them.
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I guess the problem is, you know, I guess
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: we had common sense, right? People, like, we have common sense.
• 21:57
  Speaker 14: I'm not calling everybody who disagrees with me an idiot,
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: but sure, why not? Okay, but... I mean, if this
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: shoe fits, great. But we do have some level of
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: common sense, and there are some things that we always
• 22:12
  Speaker 14: believe and still do believe that are just true, right?
• 22:17
  Speaker 14: The whole man-woman thing, right? You know, look, I'm not a,
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: you know me, I'm not a huge, let's just run
• 22:23
  Speaker 14: commercials about transgender people all day. That's not my thing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: I think there's a much better economic story that we're
• 22:31
  Speaker 14: not telling, that doesn't have to be boring. I thought
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: Trump's commercial recently, I don't know who put it out,
• 22:40
  Speaker 14: one of those PACs or whatever, that it was actually
• 22:44
  Speaker 14: pretty good because it returned the economy. The problem is
• 22:48
  Speaker 14: we're not telling people what we've done, what Republicans have done, right?
• 22:53
  Speaker 14: The benefits they've gotten. And you've got to keep beating
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: that into their head. And there's plenty of money that
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: Trump supposedly has, or somebody has, I don't know, has it,
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: but that they have got plenty of money to spend.
• 23:07
  Speaker 14: Why aren't we spending it? It's sort of like, you
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: better hurry, guys, because people get convinced because they see
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: it all the time. and they're sort of like Pavlov's
• 23:21
  Speaker 14: dog kind of thing.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 14: They keep hearing it. They believe it's true.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about you saying that, too, about
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the money thing? Because I know there's been reports that
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Trump is going to throw $ 100 million at Paxton to
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: help him out, and other people might be doing it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 14: I think it's 10 to start, I think.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 10. Okay, 10 to start. And then who knows?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: They'll roll from there.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: But what I think is kind of interesting about this
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: is now the excuse of it's too early does go away.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: So if anybody, for any sort of strategic reason— was thinking,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I need to save my money till a certain point.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Labor Day is over. So you and I would have
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: told them to do this four or six weeks ago.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: They ignored us to their detriment. So now we're in
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the place where they have to do it now. If
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: we don't see it now, something else is going on,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: something else I can't understand. Because it's got to happen now, baby.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: There we go. We've got to take a break. A
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: lot coming up.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I might be able to fix this remotely for you
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: so we can get this done better.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: But it's the KSEV Morning Show. He is Wayne Dolcefino.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I am Craig Collins.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Quick break. A lot more coming up in a bit
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: on The Voice of Texas.
• 24:26

  Speaker 6: It's not a pretty truck, but it has everything we
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: need to get the job done. I kind of like
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: the way it looks.
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: Most roofing repairs cost less than $ 500.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: Because we find the cause of the leak and repair
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: that leak. We won't try to sell you services you
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: don't need.
• 25:23

  Speaker 9: Don't put off fixing a leaky roof. Call me at

  Speaker 9: Tejas Roofing, and I'll send over the truck.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: 281-251-0304.

• 27:28
  Speaker 2: KSCV.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, Wayne. I know you're
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: pointing at yours. You'll hear me now. I'm just unmuting
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: my microphone. KSCV, the voice of Texas. And now I'm
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: going to make it work for you, so your microphone
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: will actually now work, which we're very excited about. Wayne,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: why don't you talk again and see if we hear
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: something better?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: The hell with you. Look at that.
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: Does it work?
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: Look at that.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, it does. It sounds much better now.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, you know what? I just want to
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: point out that that was the most annoying first 30
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: minutes of my month. First of all, this really is
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: a Monday, not a Tuesday. It is. Okay. But can
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I– I forgot what I was talking about, but I
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: knew it was important when I said it. But I
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: got to tell you, I just– I am disgusted at
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the Republican Party's political machine. because I don't see them
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: competing the way they should on social media, okay? And
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I get it. There's a lot of big, fat consultants
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: making a ton of money who are supposedly delivering messages, but,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: you know, social media isn't that expensive to actually put
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: stuff on, right? There are, like, literal weirdos that get
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: millions of views, so obviously... conceptually true it's possible and
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: i i don't understand why the parties aren't in a
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: 365 day campaign like campaigning all the time to remind
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: people of good things that happen yes right remember eggs
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: remember eggs we're all freaking out about the egg was
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: like 80 bucks or something it.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Went down It went down a lot.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great. It's like, okay, so they can't
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: whine about that. So let's find, like, lettuce. Let's infect
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: some lettuce with a parasite or something. And we all
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: start crapping on ourselves, and everyone will freak out about that.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: It's like the constant need... And this is going to
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: sound very much that I'm talking against my own business, okay?
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: All right. But in a way, I am. Because I just...
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: It was like last night. I went through scrolling social
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: media for a couple of hours last night because that's
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: what I do at night just to clear my mind.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: The amount of bizarreness. The best article I read last
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: night was about some researcher who studies farts. And it's
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: come up. It's true. That's interesting. The average person farts
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: like 10 times a day or something. Sure.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: That sounds about right.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: And there's a guy who studies it, and they have
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: smart underwear. Oh, wait.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I know about the smart underwear thing. I know what
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: you're talking about now.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: And I read that story. I got into it because
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, you know what? I need some. I need
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: a break.
• 30:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: We're getting bombarded. Yeah. It's too much input.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 30:39
  Speaker 17: It is.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: And the smart underwear is sort of like the smart toilet,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: which I feel like is where you're going with all this,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: where it tells you health stuff based on what it
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: analyzes in your fart or in what you're doing in
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the bathroom.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: That's too much information, man. I don't need to know that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: No, and I already.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Know I'm sick. I've got like two major diseases that
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: I know of already. So I don't need someone to
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: analyze my poop because I pretty much know I'm sick
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: because I wake up every morning.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: And honestly, so I have one friend that when he
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: first got his Apple Watch, he was excited about it,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: but it ruined him. because he's already afraid of everything
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and the apple watch like any moment where it popped
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: up your heart rate is rising he thought he was
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: dying like i immediately realized that the apple watch wasn't
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: for him and i think there's a lot of people
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that are in that bucket of it's not going to
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: help me to have more information it's actually going to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: make things much worse for my day-to-day like Control the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: information by not having it is sometimes the best policy.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I think that's right. So what else do you want
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: to talk about? What's going on?
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: There's a lot going on. What did you send me
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that you want to talk about? You sent me a
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: bunch of topics.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Did I send you the farts thing? I was sending
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: you some Islamic kind of stuff.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Well, we should talk about this. I'm upset about this.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I think you're upset about this, too. The Pentagon has
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: refused to pay out for soldiers who died in the
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Iran conflict because it isn't a war.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: That's according to The Telegraph.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: J.D.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Vance has offered support to a widow who expressed a
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: lot of frustration on social media. So a Gold Star
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: family member saying that the financial payout, which I'm sure
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: she would much rather have the human being that was
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: in her life still be in her life. But the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: financial payout isn't what it should be because the conflict
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: isn't deemed a war by Congress. There is a lot
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of red tape that exists there that shouldn't exist. And
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the politicians can get rid of it. I don't know
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: if you need to blame politicians right now or at
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: least blame the Trump administration specifically for what's going on
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: because I don't think they're the ones making this decision.
• 32:48
  Speaker 15: No.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: But they can fix it.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, this is bureaucracy, right?
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: You know how I feel about government, man. We should, like,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: strip and start all over.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Because government is just unsuccessful at doing anything. Whenever I
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: hear of a new government program, I cringe, okay? Whenever
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I'm asked for another bond election, I vote against everything.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I really do. I become that person. I vote against everything.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: But we could fix that, get Congress to get their
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: butts back in session, and on day one fix this.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: If you die during any sort of you were ordered
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: to go do something and you got killed because of it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: We take care of you and your family forever. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: that's– see, it's stories like that, though, that I just say, really, guys? Yeah.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I mean on day one you come out and say
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: this is how we're going to fix it, blah, blah, blah.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: We're not going to deny a widow or his kids.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: or his mom or dad or anything for someone who
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: gave their life for us. I said it to you
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: because it really, like, I'm going, like, is this possibly true?
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it probably is true.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: And what's interesting about it even more so is this
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: is one of those moments where the mob guys take
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: over a little bit because the mafia does take.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Care of their own. They do.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: If somebody that you send into a fight somewhere dies
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: in The Sopranos, they're like, we'll take.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Care of you for life.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: So we mess with the family.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: You don't mess with the family. And that is our
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: family in the world. Jokes aside, that is our family
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: in the world of this country. We should do everything
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: we can to take care of these people in every
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: sense of that word. So they should fix this. The
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: fact that this is something that's out there. And I'm
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: worried about one thing, though, Wayne. Democrats will want to
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: use this. as a conduit to a discussion about how
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: we're not allowed to be fighting because they haven't given
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: permission for it to be a war. And you should
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: never dangle the money to a gold star family as
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the reason to fight about a political thing.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Look, here's my take. The Democrats are going to make
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: everything we do or say an issue, right? No matter which,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: no matter whether it's door number one, door number two,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: or door number three, they're going to find a way
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: to say, aha, right? I mean, you try to keep
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: up with how the various parties completely are hypocritical about
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: former positions they had four or five years ago. And,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: you know, now the Democrats want war, right? Then they
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: don't want war. Who can keep up with it, right?
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: People are going to come up with BS to explain everything. Look,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I understand that business, right? I totally get it. But
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: we've got to assume that Democrats are going to attack
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: us either way. Yeah. So who the hell cares?
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: No, it's true. Who cares?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: But I don't know the amount of votes that you need.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: And if you have the amount of votes everywhere to
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: get something done that changes the payout to someone, regardless
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: of if it's a war conflict or not.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Like and I'm assuming we have enough votes because Republicans
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: have control of both the House and the Senate right
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: now and obviously the White House. So I'm assuming we
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: can get it done, but Democrats will try to leverage
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: that position, and they'll literally vote against giving money to
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: a Gold Star family because it benefits them politically.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Look, I don't want to take advantage of this 9-11 anniversary,
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: but I do think that it's an opportune time to
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: remind people how far off the reservation we are getting. Sure.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: from what this country believed in and, and, and, and
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: it reminds people, right? Do I think there's, you know,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: do I think there's issues now that we have to
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: address in this country with the Islamic faith, right? There are,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: there are some tremendous, the, I would, I would argue
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: that I'll be Bush here for a second. Look, this
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: is not about the religion as so much as people
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: who hijacked a religion, but it is, it is, no
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: one can deny it is part of our conversation and
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: what we think, right? No one can deny that there's
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: changes in this country that like I said, I, I
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: have no, I don't care what people wear. Right. But
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: if I see someone totally covered from head to toe, right. I,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: they're different than me. I'm sorry. That's just human nature.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: And so I don't think I'm better than them or anything.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I don't even know who the heck they are, but,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: But they're very different. And I think there's going to
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: be a lot of reminders over the next week about
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: why it is so many people are so legitimately, I think,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: freaked out about people who, because we're constantly bombarded with
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: these speeches these imams make and all these various freaks
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: make about how they're going to take over America. And
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: people are worried about that. I think that If for
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: no other reason than that, you got to come out
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: and vote.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: But I think you're right, too, in worrying that the
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: enemy is now here in this country. And I'm not
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: trying to say that in a way that attacks everybody
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: that falls under some blanket of like a religion or
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: something else. But there are a lot of people that
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: seem to truly hate the United States that seem to
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: be living here in this country right now.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: And we need to do something to address that.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know, short of just throwing them all out,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: and I'm all for that, right?
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of for that.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: You don't want to be here, man, like, you know,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: go take a hike on yourself. Leave me alone. But,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: you know, people freak out when we go now to,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the street, we try to arrest
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: someone in a car who's a rapist, and half the
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: country is, like, freaking out, right? Yeah. Oh, poor dad. Look,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: breaking news, there are a lot of people who are
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: dads or that are total scum dogs, right? That are
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: horrible criminals and they have kids. But we're, we're, it's, we've,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: we've allowed the narrative to be woe is me, poor
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: them instead of the cost to us. And because we're
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: allowing them to make us like we're bad guys, Because
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: we don't just want to get walked all over and
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: treated like you know, the open door with the big,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: beautiful walls. That's all nonsense.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I thought it was nonsense when Trump said it.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Well, and I will say one other thing, man.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: They always want to paint any conversation as racism. If
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: you say something that actually might not be about race
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: specifically or about gender or about whatever, but a true
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: story that has real facts behind it, they'll paint the
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: broad brush of, well, you're a sexist or a racist
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: because they want that conversation to die.
• 39:54
  Speaker 15: No.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Look, people are afraid of people being different. We could
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: talk more. We got a break.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: We got a break. We got a break happening.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Well, it just happened.
• 40:01

  Speaker 1: to 9 o'clock. I'll be talking to Lieutenant Dan, Lieutenant

  Speaker 1: Governor Dan.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Patrick, tomorrow on this show. I'm looking forward to that.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: It's the first time.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: You said I will be. Do I not get to die?
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I said we. I said we will be.
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: That's okay.

• 44:32
  Speaker 3: I would love to come on.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: It's your show.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I probably should be here.
• 44:41
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: But I'm looking forward to that. They call it Trump. Hey,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: by the way, I don't want to change the subject,
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: but I just read a story that, that the headline
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: is Netanyahu was personally warned Hamas was planning an operation
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: 10 days before October 7th attack. It's just come out.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: He dismissed the threat, did not alert his security chiefs,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: according to a shocking new Haaretz report, right? And Haaretz
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: is a pretty big publication. I don't know if you've
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: seen it, but You know, that's been a lot of
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: the conspiracy theorists, you know, idea about October 7th. Right.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: That that a lot of people in Israel knew it
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: was going to happen. Right. And didn't do anything about it. Anyway,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean to interrupt.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Actually, I have a question about that. On a macro level.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I don't mean it specific to the story because I
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: don't know enough details.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: A macro level.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. You know, treat. Yeah,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: let's try it. I want to try. Seriously, see the question.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Tell me what you think of it, Wayne, because I
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: don't know the details enough of this. And I know
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: that people reporting it are fairly credible, but it's difficult
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: to understand. I wonder how often leaders like Netanyahu get
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: warned of eminent threats that are dismissible. I wonder if
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: it's the same as the amount of people who threatened
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: to kill me in my social media, for example, and
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I'm still alive. So when we when we read this story,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: when we see Netanyahu dismiss this, I wonder how frequently
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: this happens and doesn't wind up being a horrific attack. Yeah.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: And look, a lot of times you are caught off
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: guard by things that happen and you try to think
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: of all the possibilities. And it's. Just because someone comes
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: in and says, hey, I think those Hamas weasels are
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: up to something.
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 46:36
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: It could be that. Right.
• 46:37
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: I'm getting some I'm hearing some chatter, blah, blah, blah,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: whatever that chatter thing is. Or it could be, look,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: I have a cousin. Right. Who is planning to attack
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: the village of whatever on October 7th. Yeah. If it's
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: that specific, then it's a problem. But if it's more
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: of a this is we think they're up to something. Right.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Without knowing the specifics.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Again, with intelligence, from what I understand, sometimes it doesn't happen.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: The thing you think is going to happen doesn't happen.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: And you're told that it's going to happen.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: You're told with fairly large amounts of confidence that you
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: think it's going to occur, and it still doesn't occur.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: So the transparency I'd like in this is to know
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: how often these types of pieces of information that sound
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: like eminent threats actually aren't. Because to us on the
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: outside looking in, You read a story like this and
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: you think to yourself, how could he have ignored it?
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: What part of him would have ignored that outside of
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: the conspiracy theorist who's going to say he wanted the
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: fight and he was allowing himself to lose lives, innocent lives,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: in order to fight that fight?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Me either.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. You don't believe that either.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: So then the truth, then the question becomes, how often
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: are these threats not credible and how easy is it
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: to dismiss one? Because if this is true that he
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: dismissed it, I want to know why. And my assumption is...
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: because he didn't think it was real.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I'll probably be criticized for this, but the
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: truth is not usually black and white.
• 48:07
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: There's bad facts, good facts. You know, when the Trump administration,
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: I think whoever it was, said there was alternative facts. Look,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: there are a lot of facts that if put together
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: makes you come to a conclusion. Yeah. but there are
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: also facts that could defend that very thing. And, and,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: and I don't think the average person has the time
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: or interest to figure it out. Right. They will, if
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: all they do is go on Tik TOK, then that's
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: what they're going to, they're going to, they're going to,
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: that must be true. Right. It must be true. Yeah.
• 48:50
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: And, and, and, but we, and we've also made, legitimate criticisms. Look,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: I understand the criticisms of the Israeli government, but I
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: also understand why they believe that you kill them, they're
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: going to kill you, right? I saw it. I don't
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: know if you've ever seen it, but I saw an
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: interesting piece last night on social media interviewing a bunch
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: of Israelis on the prospects for peace. and interviewing a
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: number of palestinians asking them the basic same question right
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: can you live in peace with these people and the
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: israelis almost to a person said sure right wow the
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: palestinians to a person said kill them right yeah They
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: stole our land. I mean, the reality is we can't
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: get past that core thing. And when people are taught
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: and when their government teaches them that from the time
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: they are like born, you don't ever solve that. You
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: just don't solve that.
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: No, I agree with you.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: And I remind people every time we get into a
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: conversation like this, which I don't have these conversations often.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: from the river to the sea means kill everyone in Israel.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: And that is what Hamas chants. That is what people
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: in Gaza chant. They do not want peace. They want
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: the reverse of the situation they believe they're in, which
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: is they would be brutal toward Israel. I don't think
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: that Israel is as brutal toward the Palestinian people. And
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Palestine's not an actual place, but the Palestinian people, as
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: news will tell you, they are. But I do think
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: that that Cheering on one side doesn't get you the
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: thing that a lot of liberals claim it gets you, peace.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: That's not what would occur. If you gave more power
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: to the Hamas people, they would do something horrible with it.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: That's right. And look, those people made a choice in
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: their government and there are consequences for all this. But look,
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: we're the people and the Israelis are too. They call
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: in advance. They drop leaflets. They say, hey, would be
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: a good idea to get the hell out of the
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: building on the corner. because we're going to blow it
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: up in three days, right? I wouldn't do that. I'm sorry.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Call me cruel. I wouldn't give anybody any notice of nothing.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: We try to fight these wars, and I'm not advocating
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: a Ben-Hur movie or something. I'm not doing that. I'm
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: just saying we've gotten so ridiculous in how afraid we
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: are To use our power.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: And it's the same thing with immigration. One of the
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: great things about Trump is I believe he did give
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: us the confidence to try to take it back.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: Now, with all his faults, with all his, you know,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: new America, we're going to rename New Mexico? Really? Are
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: we going to really rename New Mexico? I mean, what
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: is that? Right. If we could just avoid that stuff,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: we'd be so much better off.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Do you really think people vote based on that? Like, really?
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: No.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think they vote based on that. I just
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: think schtick works. Look, I'm a big believer in schtick, right?
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: I give my staff crap all day long. I'm constantly
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: making jokes and attacking people, whatever. I get it. Yeah.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: I get it. It's too much. It's wearing.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. The break is playing.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm trying to turn the volume up in here,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: but I might be sending you your own volume back, Wayne.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: I apologize for that.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what you were doing.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: My bad, because it's in the same thing. We've got
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: to fix that, too, actually. We've got a lot of
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: stuff we should improve here at the radio station.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Why don't you get over here during the break?
• 52:52
