  Speaker 1: And now, the mob guys create coyotes That's right.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: We are the Mob Guys.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: On KSEV Radio. I am Craig Colonese. He is, you
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: can say your own name.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: When Dolce Fino.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: There you go. You know what that means?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You know what Dolce Fino means?
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: It means sweet and fine.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Okay. I just wanted to make sure you were paying
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: attention last time I said it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Well, and also Dolce is an easy one. And then
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Fino is almost exact.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: But yes, we're here today. There's a lot of things
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: to talk about. I thought you asked a great question
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: to Doug Burgum.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Of course you did.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: A little while ago. And I'm going to pull the audio.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I think the only place we were actually live streaming
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: was Facebook. And now we're up on everything. So it
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: might take me a little longer than I wanted it to,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: but I'm going to essentially paraphrase his answer because I
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: do want to talk about it, Wayne. You said to
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: the interior secretary who was on the show about 30
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: minutes ago why some things are difficult for people to understand. Like,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to give your question again,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: but basically it was what's the common sense explanation to
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the difficulty we're seeing in energy, specifically in diesel fuel,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: whatever it is. And I thought it was fascinating the
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: way that he answered it, but I don't know if
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: you want to add any other context.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: No, look, people are not smart about everything, but we
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: sort of do have common sense, right? We understand, excuse me,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: that the war is part of the reason, right? Because
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the Houthis or the Houthis or whatever, the Houthi or
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the both, whoever they are, the people in the sand people, right?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That they.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: They're causing trouble, right? And the Iranians are religious nuts.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: We get all that. But there is another explanation for
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: why things have gotten so expensive suddenly. Yes. In things
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: like diesel. And diesel is actually more problematic than gasoline
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: because it affects the economy so much. We used to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: have 30 refineries. He said it, right? Yeah. In California. Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: We got like six or seven now. If you're not
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: making enough stuff, it's going to cost more.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: That's why I think there should be a campaign of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: just common sense. Let's get Marcus Welby. I'm older than you,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: but there was a doctor's show on TV called Marcus Welby.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And he was like a sort of old... family practice
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: guy back in the day when doctors came to your
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: houses and stuff like that. Remember that?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, Marcus Welby, MD.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, continue. Yeah, Marcus Welby, MD. My point is that
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you need someone like that, almost like in a fireside
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: chat kind of motif.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Well, it's true.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You just explain to people, these are the people you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: want to put back in charge, the people that are
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: responsible for making it much harder for to make diesel,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: which is why it's so darn expensive. The Iran war
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is temporary. This lack of refining capacity is something that's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a real threat to us.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: It's really interesting, too, because essentially what Doug Burgum said
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: is that the policies of the Biden administration and the
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: adoption of certain policies, even beyond what Biden was advocating
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: for in places like California, as Wayne mentions became very
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: different in how much oil and gas it was producing
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: during one administration, the next. All of these places that
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: are pulling back and then causing us to depend on
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: oil and gas from beyond our own borders. And I
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: thought it was the biggest part of the discussion when
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Doug said the interior secretary said that a lot of
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the gas and oil that was coming into California was
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: now coming from Iraq and it was going through the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Strait of Hormuz. So when you see the complication of
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: what the Iran war has caused to the United States
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: or to the world from an energy standpoint, a lot
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: of us fail to think about the fact that everything
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: was bottlenecked for so long. Then it all sort of
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: burst open for a bit, and then we have a
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: new complication that's making it harder that's very different. But
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: if we hadn't had the long-term bottleneck in the fight
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: on oil and gas, we'd be in a far better
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: place right now, and we would have been more capable
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: of this war happening.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: You know, at the time that Trump had chose to
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: actually do it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: And it's just sort of fascinating to think about the
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: impact and the way that those pieces fall together.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And I know in Texas, Greg Abbott has.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Been another big proponent of making sure that energy is
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: at the forefront of what we do here, because the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: state is so obviously dependent on it. And cutting that
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: red tape, ignoring the crazy people who are yelling about
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: climate change in a way that harms our society, it's just,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: it's obviously an important component to.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: doing what we need to go at.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And that's why I mentioned the thing earlier about the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: coverage of these events, right? Like the G20 energy thing.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Not that I watch local TV very much, but I don't,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't see like big stories about it. Part of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: what the Houston media used to do. And the reason
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I took oil and gas reporting in college was because
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we used to cover the the industry that was very
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: important to us. It's like not covering NASA on a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: day-to-day basis. Why are we not covering... I'm not talking
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: about being some ho-dog forum where you're just saying how
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: great oil is and let's spill some oil everywhere because
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it's so healthy. I'm not saying that. I don't understand
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: why the TV stations here don't educate people And I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: don't mean like a boring classroom lecture, but educate people
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: on what we're doing. I have no idea between space
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: flights what the hell is going on in Clear Lake.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: And I think that's a great point about this G20
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Energy Summit where leaders from all over the world were
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: coming in. I can't think of a local news channel
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: that actually told us about it. I only know about
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: it because of what we do for a living and
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: even more because– The Interior Secretary's press secretary contacted us
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: about getting Doug on, which was awesome.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the phone.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: We got a phone call that was on. Tobias is
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: calling in about gas prices. What do you want to say, Tobias?
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: No, I just wanted to talk about the really trigger
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: to all this was the commodities. when they were deregulated
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: in 2000. And if you look at every chart going
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: back to 2000, lumber, you can go back to fuel,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: everything we touch, everything went crazy after that point. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: it's just every chart has taken off, every commodity, that's
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: why eggs, that's why fuel. I'm in the fertilizer business.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Sulfur right now is.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: At record prices.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: You know, people are shutting their plants down. You can't
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: get supplied.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: People are declaring force majeure.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: But all that started with deregulation, and you allowed the
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: large investors into those commodities.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And before, Mrs.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Barrett could go out and hedge her wheat, and that's
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: why loaves of bread were 75 cents for decades and decades.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: And I saw today a loaf of bread in New
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: York is $ 10. So, you know, it's impacted everything. You've
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: allowed these large monies to come in. You know, we're
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: in the rice business down here in Texas. All those
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: prices today, they're up $ 6, $ 7, you know, $ 100 a week.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: You get these money flows into these small commodities like
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: you had lumber, you know, about 10 years ago. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: we have record prices in lumber. And then it never
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: goes back down. because the damage is done in those groups.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: But you destroy so many businesses in this process because
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: plants shut down. I mean, people can't make something with
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: sulfur when it's $ 1, 000 a ton. They can't make something
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: when ammonia is $ 1, 000 a ton. So you carve out
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: a massive layer of people that supply these markets. It's
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: like trucks right now. Do you realize there's an epidemic
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: going on with trucks right now because they're going broke, fuel,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: the insurance and everything?
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, the amount of insurance costs is just absolutely,
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Wiping everybody out today. My interest has gone up 400%
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: in Houston here in five years, 400% running a business.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: And we're in the ag business here trying to supply
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: farmers in Texas. It's terrible.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, Tobias, I don't really understand economics that well. I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: just a guy that buys stuff until I run out
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of money. But can you explain to me what the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: solution is? Is there a fix?
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Well, the problem is there isn't because what we've done,
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: just like all the refineries, it's coming from refineries and
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: we're regulating them out. I will tell you that the
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: president is very smart. The Venezuelan crude is very critical
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: to getting our sulfur balance back in the U.S. Once
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: we get to a million barrels a day, you start
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: to see sulfur prices be moderated, and it puts pressure
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: on the markets there. And so there are people that
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: actually understand what's going on, but it's just the devastation
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: that we've had in all these supply chains with regulation, EPA, OSHA, everything.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: and the attack on our refinery sector. So we just
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: don't have any production anymore here. in the U.S., and
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: we're importing it. You know, me, I bring in product
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: from Sopic. It's a great company. But they walked in
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: our contract the last two years when they were.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Put a tariff, and they just said, look, we're not
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: going to pay this tariff, okay?
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: You can pay it. That's your president.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: That's your country.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Well, I can't pay a 15, 10 or 15 percent tariff.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: What am I going to do? So the ships didn't come.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: The urea didn't come. The fertilizer didn't come. We had
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: the worst year historically ever last year because we couldn't
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: bring product in. We have to have imports to offset them.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: The other thing, if you're going to give somebody a tariff,
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: allow them to block product out, you need to have
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: a supply and demand model built into that to where
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: when these people block imports, you basically allocate licenses where
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: people can bring product in to offset these record prices
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: and everything. And that's the problem. They don't do that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: But don't you think that's the long-term plan? I appreciate
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: what you just said. But I was thinking that, you know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: you only have so much time in which your side
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: is in power, where the Republicans control the House, the Senate.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: We might actually lose part of that relationship in the
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: near future here.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: And then you're also in the White House.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: And Trump had a finite amount of time with a
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: second term, knowing that it was. And so forcing that
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: and the damage that it did, which I don't think
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: was the intention, which is bad, of course. I do
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: think the end result is they want that manufacturing to
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: soar back into our country.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: And it has been.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: In a lot of different sectors, energy specifically. The Interior
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Secretary just talked about it. A Japanese company is going
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: to invest half a billion dollars in the energy that
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: is created here in the United States. So I would
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: just ask you, Tobias, quickly, if you think that that
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: was the intention of this, even if it wasn't built
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: correctly to survive in the short term the way it
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: needed to, which is an oversight and a mistake and
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: something that's bad.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: In the long term, I think the plan.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Is to have that option for a domestic.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Product, right?
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: My only argument is if you want small business, you can't.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: The only people that survive this chaos are the large companies.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: They're the ones that have the capital, which they'll get
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: through this in the capital. I mean, like Bank of America,
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: I deal with Bank of America, okay? So I'm not
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: dealing with some Russian banking company, they don't know how
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: to value my inventory because of the volatility we're dealing
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: with with pricing and everything going up today. And then
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: what happens is people just quit buying. That's what's happening
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: to us.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Why would you buy something when.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: It's priced at double or triple where it was? People
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: just become... As I call it, we've become a one
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: truck load nation where everybody just buys one truck load
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: or everything.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: And that's kind of the way I.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: See the business right now. And so it's just creating,
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: feeding upon itself and creating a bigger problem because of the,
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: you know, and then logistics get into that too.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you for the call.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: We just got to double the barge. Our barge rate
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: just doubled. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Anytime.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you for the call.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: And I do feel bad for Tobias and everything that
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: he's saying there because it's a challenge that, a lot
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: of us can't handle. If something drastically changes in our industry,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: a lot of companies struggle and go under.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: What else did you want to say, Wayne?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: No, I was going to say, I think it's, Tobias's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: call sort of crystallizes what I've been trying to say today,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that it's the information flow, right? I mean, I learned
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: stuff from Tobias. I had no idea that sulfur prices
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: were high, low, right? It's not some media talking point, right,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: where we're all freaking out about how much it's costing
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: us to pump some unleaded gas in our car tip
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: don't buy gas uh from a gas station on the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: freeway it's a.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Little cheaper it is get a little further in yeah.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah a little further into the hood um it's cheaper
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: but but my point is there are there these explanations
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: these sort of and i don't mean deep because i
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: tobias wasn't like giving us a lecture series he was
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: just telling us from a guy who actually handles that
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: stuff like i i know in my business that my
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: health insurance for my small company of 9, 10, 11 people, whatever,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and they told me to get off the policy because
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I was old and sick. So I got off the policy.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I went on Medicare so I could make it cheaper
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: for my people. It didn't get cheaper. I'm going, like,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: what happened to the get rid of the sick dude
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and everything goes down? And my insurance for my small
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: company was up $ 50, 000 this year. Wow. Now, that's one bill.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: for the year, and we're talking about maybe 3%, 4%
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: of my total, 5% of my total monthly thing. That's
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of money. So I can only imagine for
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: someone that deals with a commodity like that, I guess
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: my overall question, and I don't want to get too
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: deep into economic theory here, is if we don't regulate stuff,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: like tuition. You know how I feel about in-state tuition.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I think we should have never deregulated state university tuition
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: because the cost of tuition skyrocketed after that because we
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: didn't control it anymore. And so the conservative Wayne says,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: let business do what the hell they want. That's the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: conservative way. The sort of squishy way says, yeah, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: when you do that, people take advantage of it and
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: they jack up the cost. I mean, the oil companies aren't,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: poor so could the oil companies help reduce the cost
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: couldn't we get rid of the gas tax for a
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: while sure what does that cost us i don't know
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: what the answers are but there are things we can
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: do that do involve more government involvement that i personally
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: love yeah but that are sometimes necessary. It's a balance
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: By the way, it was Clinton that I think deregulated
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: the commodities. So when we talk about it from a
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: political standpoint, we can easily blame the Democrats for the terrible,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: terrible decision that was being complained about by our caller.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I think we're late for a break.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, sorry.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: No, it's fine.
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: We are.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: All right. We're going to take a break. We'll come back.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: We'll talk a little bit about some.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Other big things out there in the news and maybe
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: get back to this and maybe revisit one more time because, Wayne,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a big topic that you wanted
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: to talk about yesterday, and it's a thing that's out there,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: the Don Jr.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Gift and what that means to people, all that stuff.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: So we'll get into that. The mob guys will get
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: into a gift going out there in the world on KSCV,

• 18:04
  Speaker 12: go up about $ 300, but his monthly outgo was being

  Speaker 4: KSED Radio, the voice of Texas, 700 AM.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I am Craig Colonnades. He is Wayne Dolcefino.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: We are the Mob Guys, and we were just talking
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: off the air about some brand new plans that we
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: have as the Mob Guys.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Wayne, do you want to talk about those?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I have an advertising theory for our listeners
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: who have, like Tobias, right? The fertilizer guy, right? I
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: think Tobias should pay us... To do commercials saying, hey, look,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I don't want to tell you. where to buy your fertilizer, but, but,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: but I've got a friend Tobias.
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: And if you buy your fertilizer from Tobias, we're all good.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: But Hey, If you start buying your fertilizer from Johnny
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: down the street, we're going to have a problem. And
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I don't really want to have a problem.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I don't want to have a problem.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: I don't want some of my family to have to
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: come visit and ask you why we have a problem.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: But they will.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I think we should start threatening people that if you
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: don't go. To buy us this fertilizer place, something could
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: happen to your building.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's got to be illegal, but I
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: don't hate it as an idea.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: But I don't care. Is it a federal crime or
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: just a local crime? Because if it's a local white-collar crime,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: our DA is not going to do anything anyway. That's
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: why I've always argued that there is some fraudulent activity
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: that I could be part of because I already know
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: what they won't investigate.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, to that, I think kind of blended within
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: this topic is the discussion about Don Jr. and the
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: gift and the $ 200, 000, that whole thing. And I want
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: to ask you it a different way. Because I do
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: like money. I'm a person who likes money. I think
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: you've been calling me a whore off the air today.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: No, and that's what people call me. People say, like,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm pay to play. If you pay me,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I play.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: So what I want to say, and this is the
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: most honest thing I could say on the show today,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: if it's me and I'm in this situation, my father's
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: the president and a Russian oligarch wants to drop $ 200, 000,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: even if I have the money, but they want to
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: give it to me for the reception and the party
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: after my wedding... I want to take it, Wayne. A
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: lot of people out there, they want to take the money.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Should they take the money?
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: No.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Do a lot of people want to take it?
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: And as I said before in this conversation, the excuse
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: the Trump family has long used is that their company
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: is incredibly important and relevant on a world stage anyway,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: so it's not like they think the gift is just
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: coming because of the connection to politics, even if it is.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I got to tell you, I... I got
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: that and I bought that and I still think it's true.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: But when you're in your second term and it sure
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: looks like your family is doing really well compared to
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: everybody else and making billions on your stocks and stuff
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: like that, I just think it's the kind of message
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: that hurts you More than anything else. And maybe they
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: don't care, but I'm just saying from a guy who
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: takes input and hears what everybody's saying, I just think
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: it's a really horrible look. And they're rich enough. I
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: think that's part of, I mean, I'm going to sound
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: like a socialist here, but I mean, it's like. But
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I will admit I'm frustrated by it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: No, well, I'll say it this way, because I think
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: it's what you're trying to say, too, is that, you know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: they didn't need the $ 200, 000. Like, it's not like that's
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: even a big gift, I think, to the Trump family
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: with the amount of money.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: It's like a parking tip.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: It's like somebody helped out a little bit with a thing. Like,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think it really made a big difference. And
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I do think you're right from an optics perspective. And
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: I think this is something that Trump himself gets criticized
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: for fairly a lot.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they just. don't care.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: They don't care about the optics of the one sentence
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: that ruins the 20-minute speech.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I saw some other story. I think it was about
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: a data center where I think it was software. I
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: don't want to libel the wrong person here, but it
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: was some company that gave $ 50 million to Trump's presidential
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: library thing in January. And then lo and behold, in March,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: they get some data center thing. And it's the kind
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: of stuff that's leading people who aren't even interested in
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: socialism and totally agree with us on a lot of
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the culture things are saying the largesse, the sort of
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: quid pro quo-ing going on is just It just feels
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: icky to me.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I'm just being honest.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I know, and I think that it's an important
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: conversation to be had, and I like that you had
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: kind of pitched it yesterday when you called me, because
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I said to you on the phone, like, we're sort
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: of hypocrites if we complain when we see the Biden
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: family do this, and they definitely were doing this. Like,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: they were in the world of, like, Hunter Biden paintings.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: But he was doing it like a crack addict. Right.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Because he was a crack addict. He was going, give
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: me 50 bucks.
• 24:28
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Well, I think I think he made hundreds of thousands
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: of dollars on his paintings.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: My point. Yeah, I guess I'm thinking big numbers.
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: You know, I just need to eat and buy some
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: more crack.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I will say this, though, and this this matters.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: And I think this is kind of the point that
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Trump has made before about tax loopholes or whatever it is.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Those systems have not changed and they do need to
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: change and we need to get them to change. We
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: can't blame the people who use the system the way
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: it's currently built because Hunter never went to jail for
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: any of the stuff that I thought was inappropriately buying influence. Because, again,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: it was like Russian oligarchs and people that were buying
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: his doodles and paying hundreds.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Of thousands of dollars.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: The mayor of Moscow or something was giving him like
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: $ 3 million, right?
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: And so that felt very similar to SoftBank and their
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: donation of $ 50 million to... and how that winds up
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: being a potential connection to a two-month-later land lease for
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: a data center in Ohio.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, man. People are not– look, people
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: get it, right? We're not stupid. We know powerful people
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: do powerful deals and get richer and blah, blah, blah, right?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: But when people are already nervous about data centers and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: worried about whether or not their utility bills or their
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: water or their stuff is going to be sucked up,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: by this big company who's not going to take care
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: of their own stuff like we've been promised, right? We
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: got all this stuff, but hey, don't worry about it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: They're going to get their own water, their own power, right?
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Their own fertilizer. I don't know why I'm on this
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: fertilizer thing now, but you get my point. And people
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: don't believe it. And when you start telling people, it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: one thing to brag about crowd size, right? Like Trump does, right?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I'm the greatest president ever. People love me. They all come.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: We get that. But when you tell people... look, we're
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: not going to pay, you're not going to pay for
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: the utilities for this data center. They are, right? They're
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: going to get their own power. And you see the
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: way these deals are done. It is leading to distrust.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Distrust should not be something that conservatives are afraid of
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: because we want people to live their lives, raise your kids,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: go to church, teach our kids the crap they need
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and not all this other nonsense you've you've been teaching them.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: That's all people really want. They want their community safe. Yeah. Right. Those,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I call that common sense conservatives. I don't know what
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: that is, but, but it's common sense. That's all people.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: That's all they want. A chance to succeed. There's no guarantee. Right.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could see the most beautiful woman in
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: the world who would make the greatest model who could
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: be on the cover, every magazine. And she's checking out
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: at Walmart. Okay. So I, People have an opportunity. Sometimes
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it's luck. Sometimes it's who your mama was. Sometimes you
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: get lucky enough, your cousin Jed strikes oil on the ranch, whatever.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: But that's what America is. And I think I'm very frustrated.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: One of the reasons I agreed to even talk to
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you in the mornings was because I'm very frustrated because
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: it's what we believe is so logical. Right.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, no, I get frustrated a lot by the
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: the lack of the simplistic message being the one that's
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: chosen to be amplified because the simplistic message would win
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: over more people. And I think that's basically what we're
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: both saying here is that there's there's so often an
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: easier version of a discussion to get us from, you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: men shouldn't be playing in women's sports to the end
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: result that the conservative party has come up with.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: And I think what's really interesting to.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Me, Wayne, is in the entire conversation we're having. What
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: I think we're actually both kind of talking about is
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to be trusted. People don't people don't trust
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: anyone at all right now.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: But if you behave right, if you behave, maybe I
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: trust you more than I should. Then if you behave
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: a certain way for a long enough amount of time,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: whether that's the political party and its messaging, whatever it
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: might be.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: You could earn trust back.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: And these mistakes, these optic things that look like everyday D.C.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: dirty politics again, obliterate that. We need to find some
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: avenue to actually rebuild trust and not just think that
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: it's it's gone forever. Because I do think if you
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: if you behave transparently enough for enough time, you'll start
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: to win back that support.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: And that's the problem with the with the corruption issue.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: narrative yeah right that if people believe that you don't
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: really you say you love them but you really don't
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: give a crap about them because really what this is
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: about is you making money yeah people turn on you
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: the the conservative message right the and i'm not just
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: talking because i know there's different kinds of conservatives right
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: sure there's the the israel haters the israel lovers there's
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: the there's the the you know free market guys there's
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the price cap guy. There's all kinds of conservatives, right?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: But at our core, we, and maybe this is the
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: libertarian in me coming out, but we just we want
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: everyone to have a fair shot yes right yes but
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: no guarantees we ain't like gonna give you generations of
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: of unemployment because like we're stupid like we do by
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: the way did you see a story what is up
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: with the somalians.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know That's a perfect tease because Russell just
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: started playing some music.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: What is up with the Somalians?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: What is up with the Somalians is a great tease.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Wayne will tell you what it is in just a
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: little bit. We are the Mob Guys on KSCV Radio.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: He's Wayne Dolcefino. I am Greg Colanese, and we'll be
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: right back after this.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: And now for the bonus round.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Who imposes property taxes?
• 30:30
  Speaker 13: State government.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Nice try, but no.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: Local governments.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: And we have a winner.
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control property taxes.
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
• 30:46
  Speaker 13: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: why your property taxes are going up is because local
• 30:53
  Speaker 13: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
• 30:56
  Speaker 13: got to do is to stop the spending that leads.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: To property tax increases.
• 31:02
  Speaker 13: You should have a say on whether or not your
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: property taxes go up.
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: It should be a.
• 31:06
  Speaker 13: Vote that requires two-thirds vote before any property tax increase
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: can ever be imposed on our fellow Texans. You're going
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: to be able to live in your home for the
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: rest of your lives without being priced out of it.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Protecting homeowners, lowering property taxes.
• 31:21

  Speaker 9: Growing up, I remember watching my dad drop everything to
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: help somebody in need. Early or late, if somebody needed help,
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: he showed up. Hi, I'm Tommy Mello, CEO of Garage

  Speaker 3: KSEV Radio. The Mob Guys on The Voice of Texas,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: 700 AM. I am Craig Colonese. He can say his
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: own name.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Wendell Trefino.
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: There he is.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: And we are talking about a bunch of different stuff,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: including this story you saw from three or four days
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: ago in the New York Post.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: I'll just read the headline and then we'll dive into it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I love that story.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Right-hand man, son of genocidal Somali dictator who killed 200,000 people.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Found living in Ohio, the right-hand man's son.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: And he's linked, this is the crazy part that Wayne
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: and I can't understand, to $ 1. 8 million in Medicare fraud. $ 1. 8
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: million is the size of a firm that has been
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: accused of a whole bunch of fraudulent activity.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: How does this happen? Wayne, go ahead.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, my company, that's about what my company made
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: for the entire year, working our butts off.
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: And I just say, one... First of all, why are
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: we letting these people here? I don't mean like Somalia.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I just mean like the son of some brutal dictator. Hey,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: come live in Ohio. Let's run a commercial for you, right? Hey,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: if you kill 200,000 people in your home country, come
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: on over here. If you killed someone in El Salvador,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: please be my guest. Come kill some people here. I
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: do not understand why we've allowed ourselves and And I
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: know we talked off here about the Beau French thing, right?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: And all the big controversy over his picture of the,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: you know, Indian American kids and saying what happened, basically
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: what happened to all the white people. Sure. Where I
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: think he was going with that. But I look at
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: that stuff and I say, these people assimilated. A lot
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: of the Somalian community assimilated. They're like still all on
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: welfare like a decade after they came here. Yeah. Right.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Like 87 percent, 85, like a big percentage of them. Right.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: We got like dictators, kids coming here and ripping us off.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Why are we putting up with this? Yeah.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I don't have a good answer for that. And, yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: we did talk about Beau French off the air more
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: than on the air. And if we want to address
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: it at all, Beau French is is surround surrounded in
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: controversy because. for statements he made about a graduating class
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: at a college in Texas and saying that it doesn't
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: look the way that he thought it should look, meaning
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: there were too many people that were foreign born within
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: the group. And there is a way to have a discussion,
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: in my opinion, about some of that topic that Beau
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: French was trying to touch on. The way he went
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: about talking about it is probably the reason he's surrounded
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: in controversy. And I think there's some prominent Republicans who
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: have come out and said they're not going to support
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: him any longer in his race. But I just I
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: think it's it is important to talk about some of
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: how our society has changed.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: And if it's at the top.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Level of what you said, why the hell would we
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: let a dictator's son live here in Ohio and somehow
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: be tied to a one point eight million dollar Medicare?
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Like that seems like an egregious one off mistake. But
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: I do think there are a lot of other examples
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: of And I think the border being wide open and
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: importing a lot of people who didn't respect the United
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: States and came in here because they thought they could
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: take advantage of us is, in fact, the thing we're
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: seeing a lot more in our society. And we need
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: to find a way to fight it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: So so here's where I sympathize with what Beau French,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I think, was trying to say. And I don't think
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: it's about color. I think it's about culture. It is
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a very different place than it used to be. And sure,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: for decades and decades and decades, the only people that
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: were coming here were folks from Europe, right? This is
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: a European-centric, it was at least. And then we brought Indians, Pakistanis,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: a huge South Asian community. I mean, folks who live
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: in Sugar Land, right, or in Missouri City and those places,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Those places have become very large South Asian populations, and
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: they're even controlling a lot of the politics. And I
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: don't think it's because Beau French thinks he's better than them.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: They're just different. They come from different cultures. But the
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: reason I reacted to the Beau French thing was, like,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: those kids were doing exactly what we want people to.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: who come here as immigrants to do.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: They were embracing our culture, learning at our schools.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: They were cheering a football game.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: They were cheering at a football game. Yeah, right. Exactly.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: And people who are willing to become part of American society.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: My wife is a great example of this, man. Born
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: and raised in Mexico, now a U.S.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Citizen, and she's incredibly patriotic and supportive of cops and
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: military people that I get a chance to interview all
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: the time, like She's ridden holding an American flag in
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: a truck that was driving some veterans to a thing.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I saw her. Yeah, I saw that.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: That was in Illinois. But I'm glad that you said
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: you saw it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: But no, anyway, like there are people that do want
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: to ingratiate themselves into our culture. And I think beautifully
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: said that it doesn't matter what color you are. It
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter what you look like. We both don't care.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: And we are in so many topics. We'll demonstrate how
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: little we give a crap about what someone looks like.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: We do care how you behave.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, if you see if you see a
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: black guy, right, you don't know whether he's from Haiti
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: or from the Fifth Ward.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: How do you know?
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: And I don't care.
• 38:23
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Right. I just just like act like a normal American person.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Well, don't don't hate the country if you live here.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: That that seems to be a part. And so behavior
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: does matter. And I do think and it's great to
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: call it sympathy. There is a place that some of
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: those comments from Beau French were coming from. that does
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: make sense to a lot of people.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: I understand. I get it. Yeah.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: They've seen our culture and our society change for the
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: worse because there are people who don't care about the
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: United States that do come here, especially when the border
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: is wide open.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: It's deeper than that. I've told this story before. I,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I was in Katie. I, I raised my kids in
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: seven Meadows and Katie, and I went into like some
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: store that's there. And there was a, a checkout lady
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: that was obviously South Asian Indian. And there was a,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: A customer that was Indian. And they were blabbing in
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: whatever language that is for like 10 minutes while I
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: was waiting. And I said to myself, where the hell
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: am I? Right?
• 39:24
  Speaker 15: I did.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest. That's what I said. I think it's different.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: It's not. reason I always react negatively to this white
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: supremacy thing is I don't think it has anything to
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: do with supremacy. It has to do with the culture
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: of the place. The people you're used to seeing. And
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: it's not like because they're white. It's because up until
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the 60s or the 70s, That's all there was. There
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: was some black folk, and there was white folk, and
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: some Hispanic folk. Right.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: But a lot of us just acted like Americans, and
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: a lot of us don't speak Hindi. So that's part
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: of the problem, is that we're not going to understand
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: whatever the hell that conversation is.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Everywhere I go, somebody's speaking a different language. I stopped
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: at some store this morning, and the guy behind was
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: on the phone with someone else. They were talking some
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: language from the Middle East. I don't know what they
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: were talking. I don't care. Right? Right. The English thing
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: really bothers me. Sure. I want people talking English.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it.
• 40:22

• 43:08
  Speaker 3: My name is Craig Colonese. He's Wayne Dolcefino, the beloved
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Wayne Dolcefino.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: I was just telling him off air that someone I
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: was talking to yesterday describes you as beloved.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: I know you say you're loved or hated.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: They should. They should.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I actually told her that.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: I responded back by going, you know, Wayne says he's
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: loved and hated. She goes, no, I'd say he's beloved.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, but she's right. But to be fair— I
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: know it's shocking to hear this, but there are people
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: who don't like me. I don't understand why. I call
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: people for interviews, and, like, people running for office, I
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: call them up and say, hey, I'd like to– I
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: want to interview all the– in Brazoria County. I called
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: all the candidates for the county judge race, and I said, hey,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: someone asked me to interview everybody, find out what's going on.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: You know that two of the candidates have already– one
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: guy didn't even call me back, that Eugene Howard guy.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: He's running for Brazoria County judge. Didn't he call me back?
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: this Lucinda Henry running. She said, no. What politician turns
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: down a chance to be interviewed about why they should
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: be chosen as county judge?
• 44:14
  Speaker 13: I don't know.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Those are giant red flags. And they say, who's paying you?
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Like the mobs pay me. Who the hell cares?
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, just interview me.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Are they going to force you to say something you
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: don't want to say? You still get a chance to
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: do an interview and talk to me. And I'm going
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: to ask you questions and you get to answer them.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Why is that bad?
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: They're afraid that I'm going to ask one of the
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: candidates about a report I saw that he showed his
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: private part to a female employee.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: No, right?
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: And so I get why he doesn't want to talk
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: to me, right?
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Well, but that's a question you probably– we need an
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: answer to.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to come up. So here's the rule
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: in my company.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: No comment doesn't work. Yeah. Okay?
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: If I call you and you say, I don't want
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: to talk to you, I'll send you a written statement. Hey,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: go ahead. Send it. We're still coming to find you.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to figure it out. We have a
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: couple calls.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: I do want to get to them. First, Kevin, who
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: hung on a little bit. Thank you, Kevin. What did
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: you want to say about regulation, deregulation, all that stuff?
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir. You guys got a great show going on there.
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: Thank you. Yeah, I figured you mob guys would appreciate
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: a mob perspective on business regulation and deregulation. Lucky Luciano,
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: a gangster out of New York City at one time,
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: got deported to Italy and And late in his life,
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: a reporter asked him, he said, if you had it
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: to do all over again, would you do it the
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: same way? And he said, he said, well, these days,
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: if you want to rip somebody off, you get a
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: license to do it. If I had it to do over,
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: I'd make damn sure I got that license. So that's
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: a mob perspective. But, I mean, I think it's a balance.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: Wayne said earlier, I think it's a balance. You have
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: to regulate, but you also have to allow free enterprise
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: where you can, you know?
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't know how you rein that back in,
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: I guess, Kevin, is the question, too, is once you
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: do deregulate to allow for free enterprise, if you see
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: the results that our previous caller was talking about, I
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: don't know how you put the genie back in the bottle.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I think what he's talking about is, you know,
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: short-term problem, you know. And there's like the old exercise adage,
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: you know, no pain, no gain. There's going to be
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: some pain when you transition to different policies. And hopefully
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: that's just what we're going through short-term, hopefully.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough. We love the mob perspective, Kevin. Thank
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: you very much for the phone call, man.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to tell you, there's a lot of
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: things that Trump's doing that I think in two or
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: three years are going to really come back. to help us,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's already starting to show up in the numbers.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: People are very impatient people. And while they don't want
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: to go back and blame Biden, right? And we could,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: there's no debate to me. We spent money we didn't have.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: We went crazy in COVID. We gave billions of dollars
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: to corrupt politicians so they could take care of their
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: buddies and friends. I mean, that's why government shouldn't be
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: doing anything, right? Because they waste the money. But the
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: reality is, We're still paying the price when something goes
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: up 25%. And now everybody's going, well, it's going up
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: another 2%, right? Without focusing on the fact that it
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: went up 25 and we can't get that back. You know,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: part of that is lying to the public. You got
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: to tell people the truth. I think people respect you
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: more when you're authentic and you tell them the stuff
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: we can't do and the stuff we can do. I
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: think when you tell them like Biden did and Trump's
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: doing the same thing, everything's fine. Don't worry about it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't work. People live their lives. Look, I
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: went to a drive-thru store to get some burgers or something.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: It was like $ 28. I'm going like, what the hell?
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: We have one more call. Carlos wants to call and
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: talk about becoming part of the American culture. Carlos, what
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: do you want to say?
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Greg. I'm going to give you the same
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: advice I gave my... I have a friend that happens
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: to be white, and he's married to a Mexican-American woman.
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: They're really cool people. They're both awesome people. But what
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: I noticed, and what we noticed in general, is like
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: in his case, you go to his house, everything's done
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: the Mexican way. You know what I mean?
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: I definitely know what you mean.
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: That's the problem. You guys are losing... The American way,
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: because you want to accommodate the Muslim way. You want
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: to accommodate the Colombian way, the Mexican way. And that's
• 48:32
  Speaker 8: a problem. So you guys are part of the problem.
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: Believe it or not, because you're losing the American way because, oh,
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: I've got to accommodate my new family now. And my
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: way of living goes out the window.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: So you're saying— So y'all got to be careful. Hold on, Carlos.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: Because you've called my show a lot. I know you
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: definitely are a fan, and I like you. You're saying
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: I'm the problem because in my house, my wife makes
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: some things— The Mexican way?
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's saying you've got to put your foot down, man.
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: Not necessarily you, but I'm saying most people. I don't
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: know how it is in your house, but in his
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: house it is that way. Everything's done the Hispanic way.
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: All the white costumes, they're out the window.
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, why?
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: What is happening to the American way?
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: And I appreciate what you're saying. I really do. And
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: And I love that Russell just jumped in to also
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: take a shot because the missus.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Might be listening to this.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: And I'll admit that there's a lot of things in
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: my house that that are influenced by her Mexican culture.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: But I do think that the day to day lifestyle
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: that you, you know, live outside of just what's going
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: on inside your home, but how you live outside your home.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: It matters to the culture that you're actually embracing. It's
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: not like I sit around in my house and watch
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Mexican news channels and find out what's going on in
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Mexican government.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: I pay attention to the United States.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: And obviously, through this show, we do a lot in
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: what happens here in this country.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: But his point also is, I grew up in Brooklyn, right?
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: And we used to have gravy every Sunday, right?
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: The family would get together. We'd eat for like 10 hours.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Italian, the Italian way.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: And we'd crack walnuts, and we'd do all the stuff
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: that we did, right? But I don't remember us waving
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Italian flags in the house.
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: True.
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: Going, hey, go Italy.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Yes. We were Americans who just had fun. Italian-American roots.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: But I didn't walk around with an Italian flag going.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: And I have no Mexican flag outside of our house.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: We have an American flag. So, yeah, I totally get it.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: And I do think there's some hybrid. But, Carlos, I
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: appreciate what you said and the phone call.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: For sure. Are you still there?
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: What about those Somalians?
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: Hey, Carlos, did you want to say anything else real quick?
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: We are going to talk about Somalians, but I didn't
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: want to cut you off.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: You want to say something else?
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: No, that's fine. I love your show. Like I said,
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: you're the only radio show that I count.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Once in a while.
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: And like I said, watch it. Be careful because he's right.
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: I never saw the Italian-Americans wearing the Italian flag anywhere.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: Like I see the Mexicans, the Guatemalans, the Colombians.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Fair enough. Thank you very much for the call, Carlos.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: And I get it.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: I get the idea that you can do too much
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: sometimes to placate others.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: You wanted to mention the Somalians real quick.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: No, I just want to pick on the Somalians.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Well, because there is some crazy other stories out there.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Because it's like every day I open up the news
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: stuff on the wire and some Somalian person is being
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: busted for like a billion dollars, 200 million, 100 million.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how much money has been stolen from me?
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I'm so mad.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: That's the thing I can't comprehend, too, when you see
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: like the video from Nick Shirley or somebody walk into
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: a place and it's like three people in a barren
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: room and they got $ 1.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: 8 million.
• 51:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: For having 800,000 hospice people in a room that's 10
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: by 12.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: How did they do that?
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Because we're paying some government person who is either.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: An idiot or is being told, hey, don't.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Worry about it. I know it's only a 10 by
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: 12 room and there's 900,000 people in there. Don't worry
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: about it. It's like common sense. One of my first
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: investigations was a sheriff up in Walker County, up in Huntsville.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: very early on in my career. And they had like
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: a property room that was like eight by six. It
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: was like a closet, right? And we looked at all
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: the weed and drugs that had been confiscated. And then
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: we looked at the evidence that it was ever burned
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: in a proper disposal method. And there was like literally 900,000
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: pounds of weed in supposedly stuffed into a closet.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: We got 30 seconds, Wayne.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: No, that's my point.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: You look at that and you go, dude, that's nonsense. Amen.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Well, that's it.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Somehow the show goes much quicker when Wayne is here
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: and we do the show together.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: Are you back tomorrow? Are you in tomorrow or are
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: you traveling?
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: If I'm in the mood. Okay.
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll see if Wayne feels like doing the show.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: This is KSEV 700 AM, the voice of Texas, back
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: with you tomorrow, with or without Wayne.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: We'll find out at 7 o'clock together. Talk to you later.
