• 0:03
  Speaker 1: And now, the mob dies, Craig Coyenne is dead.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You want to.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Do it? Yeah, I'm Wayne Dolcefino. Craig Collins is off today. No,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. You're right there.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Craig Collins A's.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I called you Craig Collins, didn't I?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: You did. Yeah, you used a fake name. That's fine.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I feel embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I called you by your real name. Now people can
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: find you.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We were talking before the break. By the way, time
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: goes really fast. Talking to the folks out there with you.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It really does. I just looked at the clock and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I said, have we already been on the air for
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: an hour this morning? And the people that are just
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: joining us missed some really good stuff. They did.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So for now on, get up.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: There is like.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Six or so and then be ready.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Give me an opportunity. There is a podcast.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: We actually also have a blog on our website that
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: describes what happened in the show and plays the audio.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: And you can watch it on YouTube. Like there's a
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: bunch of places to get it. But you should also
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: listen to us live.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Is that is that AI that does that or no?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I don't want to answer that question.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, I don't want AI paraphrasing some ridiculously offensive
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: thing I said.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Hold on. So it's not like that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: It submits it to me, and then I review it
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: before it publishes it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, that makes me feel a whole lot better. My gosh. Hey,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we were, because I, you know, I say things. People
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: have called me, you should not have said that. Okay.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm going, I'm going like, who cares? Look, I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: say what I think. If you don't like it, Go.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I just don't care. And I'm and I'm not trying.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I don't care who I offend. I don't believe there
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: are any secret words or phrases. Trump was getting grief
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on CNN the other day for calling some making some
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: supposed anti-Semitic comment. Yes. Called someone like a Sherlock. Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. And I heard
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: some commentator who's Jewish, who's Republican, but Jewish.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Was really mad about it. I got to be honest
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: with you. I think people really need to lighten up.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think I really do.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm, I'm, I.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Was raised in Jewish home when I was young and,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and I don't like, I, I wasn't like going, Oh
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: my God, I can't believe you said Sherlock. I mean,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: We used to make fun of stuff like that. That
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: used to be a joke on TV. Yes. Like, just stop.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean something said with some like animus. Right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Like those darn Jews. I mean, it's not being said
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: People want to overreact.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: They desire to overreact. They desire to find something to
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: have a problem with. However, and we mentioned it before
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: the break, and I do want to pay it off.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I do want to play it. There are times when
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: you watch things and you're like, there's no version of
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: overreaction that's possible here.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Like, this is insane.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: And I think this actually happened back in August.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: So this video first went viral back in August.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: It is making the rounds again now in October because
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: people are actually voting in Minnesota. And so a guy
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: showed up at a Minnesota voting place. And he said
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: he wanted to vouch for other people. And when they asked, like,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: who the people were, I don't even know if they
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: did ask. He's like, they're members of Hamas that just
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: got here. And the vouching process, it's great. The vouching
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: process in Minnesota allows you to vouch for up to
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: eight people that you claim live in your community. And
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: so this is legal. You can have someone.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's classic.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. So let's go ahead and play on that audio,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and we'll go ahead and play that. If we have that,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I think. I think we have it. You've got to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: hit play on it on X.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You've got to hit play.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, on X, and then it'll go.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: These guys were actually members of Hamas.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: They got here recently. I don't really know their citizenship status.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: They're from the Gaza Strip, and they want to vote today.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I can vote, right?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: If he's vouching, you can vouch for up to eight people.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: My friends here would need to show what? If you're
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: vouching for them, they wouldn't need to show anything.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: They don't need to show anything.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Is that like a common thing for people to vouch
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: for Hamas members?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You can stop it. You can stop it there. That's
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the very beginning of it, but you get it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But you've got to go on Muckraker, and you've got
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to watch the whole thing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Because even when the other– the part I really enjoyed
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the best, because I was thinking, okay, these are just
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: some Yahoo election workers. No offense to election workers, but
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they don't know the rules or whatever, right?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And it's a weird thing, and it's awkward, right? But
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: even when they knew they were Hamas, the lady was going,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you don't have to show anything.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It's fine. Oh, just Hamas? As long as they're not ISIS,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we're cool.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: And here's what's so crazy about it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I'm sure the reaction to this back at the time
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: when it first goes viral is, well, that guy was
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: just trying to trick us and be an idiot, and he, like,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: went to the polling place. But the difference is... that
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: people who do want to scam the system just wouldn't
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: be honest. I know I'm pointing out the obvious, but
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: they'd show up. They'd say, I want eight of my
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: friends to vote. All eight people get to vote in Minnesota.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: And this then makes that entire election crap. This guy
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: was able to take it to the level of I'm
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: bringing recently traveled here Hamas members in to vote.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Is this OK? And the answer is yes.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're citizens or not.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything about it. They just got here.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: They just like got off the plane or the boat
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: or whatever they got there. And he, but he also
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: went out of his way to say, are you make,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: are you sure this is okay? Yeah. Right. Yeah. Like,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get in any trouble. I mean,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the guy was like begging them almost.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He went a lot farther than I would have. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have even said that. Yeah. I, but, I may
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: not have said they were Amos members either because I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe that when they all just look like, well,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I guess not one of the rules. The lady literally
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: came out and said. Well, it's not on that sheet,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the sheet of rules.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Whatever you want to do. We don't have anything we
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: can say no to here.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We are so– can I say screwed?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we are.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Well, and the other thing that's funny to me, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I see this a lot, is when someone feels like
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: you're on the same team politically, they'll let you do
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: stuff that they wouldn't let the other side do. Like
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: if this guy had walked in and they immediately thought
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: he was MAGA and not just a guy trying to
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: help people that recently came from the Gaza Strip– I
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: think they would have rejected everything he said, even if
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: it was legal.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It's that they thought he was a.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Democrat who was trying to help people in Gaza where
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: they hear all the time people are taken advantage of
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: and treated that they're like, yeah, this is totally fine.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Like even if they could find a way that it
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: was against the rules, they probably still would have allowed
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: it to happen because they thought they were on the
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: same team.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It's got a population of 9-11 cheers. Right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And bring them in.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I think if a guy walked in with an American
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: flag and eight old white people that looked Floridian into
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota voting booth, they would have said.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Hey, we can't have this here. And none of these people.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: These people aren't from Minnesota.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like two MAGA hats on and they would have
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: been kicked out immediately because that's the other thing that's
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: so funny about this and when this went viral originally
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: and And how it's still a rule.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: And I told you, I just.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Read a headline from NPR in Minnesota claiming that they
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: have the most secure voting system in the entire country
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: because of.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: The vouching system.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: They say the vouching system allows some person to come
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: in and be like, no, this guy lives here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I'm telling the truth. It's totally fine.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: But you know what? I guarantee you if I showed
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: this video, which I will, I will be required viewing
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: by my staff this morning. If I show them this video,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: They will all accept that it's all just made up nonsense. Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That they're all like actors, like all those yahoos were
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: like actors in a play or there's more to it
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: or they would have never accepted the votes or they
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: didn't actually vote. They were just right. It's every excuse
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in the book. I guarantee it. To justify that it
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: isn't what it is.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Well, and even more so than that, I think that
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: they wouldn't go look for the proof that they're right.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Like the biggest problem I have when I argue with
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: somebody about some of this stuff and they come back
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: with something like what you just said, Wayne, they're like, no,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: that didn't happen. No, they probably threw the vote out
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: right after it got cast or something. they don't go
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: look to see if that's true. They're like, I just,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I know it is. I know that my side's not
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: the dirty side and you guys are. So we fixed
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: it somehow.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: We caught it. Cause those people didn't actually vote. Right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And so we caught it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It was, of course we would have never let some
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Hamas guy to come in on a Thursday and vote
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: on and register to vote on a Friday. But I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: do think it's why I was frustrated that, that the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Republicans left in the fall without pushing the save act. Yes. Right. Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Because even if it went down, even if it went
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: down in defeat, it would show me that Republicans were
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: trying to do something.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And I, I just thought it was a, and I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: would have made it just citizenship. I wouldn't have worried
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: about the mail-in voting. You know, you're, away, you take,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: take small victories, make it a simple up and down
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: vote on, on whether we should require proof of citizenship
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to vote. Sure. Simple question. Yes. And let the, put
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the Democrats into position, start changing some of those numbers and,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: But we've got to, if the numbers are right, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: remember polls, Craig, they'll say, you know, she has 44
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and he has 42. And then when you add those together,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it's 86, which means there's a whole bunch of voters
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: out there that they don't know how they're going to vote.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So there's always time to get a last minute surge.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Like Trump, Trump just posted something that everyone's apologizing to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: him for the waiver deal on diesel fuel because they
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: got that American guy out. Yeah. Right. That it was
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: part of the negotiation of a hostage exchange. Yes. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: if that's true, then you don't have to say people
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: are apologizing to me. You say this is why. You
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: need to trust me. I know things and I was
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: doing things that I couldn't tell you about. This is
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: what a president does every day. This is why I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: made the decision in Iran. There's so many ways to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: message this in the right way. Yeah.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: There are, for sure.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I just throw my hands up.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: I did get a message from a listener that they
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: want us to play it again. So we're going to
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: hit a break. We'll come back and we'll play it
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: again because it's real. It's definitely real. And it went
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: viral once. It's going viral again because it's ridiculous.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It's hilarious. It is. It's actually scary. It's not. It's...
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: It's not funny. It's sad.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: It's terrifying and hilarious because people deny that this sort
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: of thing happens.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: That's why it's the hilarious part. But all right, we'll
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: come back in a bit.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: KSEV Radio, the voice of Texas.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: We are the Mob Guys, and we are thrilled to
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: be here with you. I do know before.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: OK, I do know before we take a break, actually,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: we should say a couple of things about American medical plans.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: For a long time on this radio station, you've heard
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Chris Salcedo sing the praises of American medical plans. And
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: one of the biggest reasons why is that Obamacare sucks.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: It's terrible. It's horrible.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: And if you change to an American medical plan, you
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: are likely to save 60 percent on what the typical
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Obamacare plan would be for anybody in a situation where
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: you're going to that open market and looking.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: This is likely to be the amount of savings. It
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: could be more, could be a little less.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: And the biggest reason why is because the guy involved
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: at American Medical, the guy in charge there, he'll go
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: over everything with you. Scott will take you from piece
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: of information, a piece of information. And my favorite part, Wayne,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: talking to him the other day, is that Scott will
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: even bring you into the American medical, or excuse me,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: into the Obamacare system and show you. Like, these are
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: the plans you could have chosen here, and they're awful,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: and they're terrible.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: They really are. And my daughter has Obamacare, and she
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: says it's, like, disgusting. And one of the great things
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: about American medical plans is that, and it's something I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: think that is the solution, really, is.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I don't need insurance to have a baby, right? I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: don't need that pregnancy stuff, right? So why should I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: pay for it? Why should I have to get an
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: insurance plan that makes me pay for my maternal care
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: when I'm not a maternal?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: When you can't have one.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And Scott knows that. Scott's a smart guy. He knows
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: how to work the insurance plan that works best for you.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and the best thing about, if you call
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Scott Ferguson and his team at American Medical Plans is...
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: You're actually going to reach him or somebody else. You're
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: not going to get AI. You're not going to have
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: to talk through a bunch of robots.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And Craig won't answer either.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I won't answer either. You'll get to talk to somebody there.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Can I give Scott's number over at American Law? Sure,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Is this his personal cell?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I believe it is.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's 833-500- PLAN, P-L-A-N, 833-500-7526. Yes. Or you can
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: go to the website, Greg, at what?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: At AmericanMedicalPlans.com. That is AmericanMedicalPlans with an S dot com.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: The most important part is that it's health care chosen
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: by you, not the government.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: KSED Radio, 700 AM. The voice of Texas. We are
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the Mob Guys. He is Wayne D'Altofino. I am Craig Colonnade.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Thrilled to be with you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I got a message from a listener saying we have
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: to play this again. The clip of the day from
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Wayne is, it went viral back in August and it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: viral again.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I'd never seen it. I watched it last night.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: I went, what the hell? And we're just playing the
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: intro to it. It's honestly like a nine minute long video.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: You can go watch a bunch of places, including just
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: on Twitter. But here we can go ahead and play
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: it one more time. This is the beginning setup of Hey,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I want to register these Hamas guys to vote here
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: in Minnesota.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: These guys were actually members of Hamas. They got here recently.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I don't really know their citizenship status. They they're from
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the Gaza Strip and they want to vote today.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: That's OK.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I can vote, right? Correct.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: If he's vouching, you can vouch for up to eight people.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: My friends here would need to show what?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: If you're vouching for them, they wouldn't need to show anything.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: They don't need to show anything.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Is that like a common thing for people to vouch
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: for Hamas members?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's it. That's good. It's ridiculous, man. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: is insane.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what to say to that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I really, I think, look, unfortunately, there are states
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in this country, you know, I left my door open
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: back there. There are states, you can see the garbage cans. Nice, nice, nice,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: nice visual. Um, But there are states in this country
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that I think have gone insane. And what scares me
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: is that there are actually enough people to say, yeah,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that's a good idea. There was no outrage. The reason
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I never heard about this is because at the time
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: they didn't.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was more of an Internet thing.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: It wasn't even talked about by a lot of places
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: on television or radio at the time.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know why we wouldn't use stuff like this.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: And I don't understand why we didn't take advantage of
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: these kinds of things.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Well, And I would go back to something you said,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: because there are places in this country now that are crazy.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: They're sort of defiantly and intentionally crazy. They share the
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: message of and they like shape their message to their
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: base of we have to fight fire with fire. Like
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: in California right now, they are thrilled at the idea
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: that Tallarico could get elected as senator here and be
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: a representative of them. Like when that message goes out
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: that you'll have a third senator from California, the California
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: people are like.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Great, this is wonderful. We love it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Even though it's upending the system that the founding fathers
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: built for us.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Screw that part. We don't care.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it wouldn't be constitutional, but I don't care.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I'll do it anyway. But why do we allow people
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: who live in other states to vote? Look, again, if
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I ran for office, I'd want my cousin Vinny to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: give me a thousand dirty money, right? Launder it into
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: my campaign.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I get you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: But really, we could just say, Vinny, I'd love you
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: to help me, but I can't take money from out
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of state. Why do we let like another state like California?
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And I don't know why we're not even why no
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: one's even done that story. I think someone's done it,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: but not really like. How much of his campaign money
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: is coming from California? He's running to be their senator.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Not ours.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I guess my only response to you, and this is
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: just an assumption, not actually something I've done enough research
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: to know for sure, but I wonder if it would
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: be too hard. I wonder if that money could still
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: be filtered from California in some crazy way.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Sure it could, Craig. I get it, right? Vinny could
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: give the money to Craig, and Craig could give it
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to Pablo, and Pablo could. Sure. But you can't stop
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that ever. But people are required to put their names
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: on the stuff. If you stop that, you would at
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: least stop a lot of the money. You wouldn't stop
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: at all. People would play games.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Sure. They'd circumvent the system. We would make it a
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: crime to do that. I don't think it would hold
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: up constitutionally because, you know, First Amendment, all that stuff.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Citizens United. And look, I think all of it's a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: little out of control. I don't like the answer of
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: public money.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: You know, being put into campaigns.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I would be in favor of limiting campaign contributions.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like there aren't a lot of judges.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Honestly, I think I just saw it yesterday, too, that
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Tallarico is out there now saying that he's running against
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Elon Musk. He's not even claiming that he's running really
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: against Paxson anymore because he says Elon Musk is funneling
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: all this money into the campaign in the final hour
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: to try to push Paxson over the hump. And he's
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: mad about that. But isn't that just fighting fire with fire? Like,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: isn't that the same thing that was happening for Tallarico's
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: campaign and all the crazy money that came in? from
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: left outside sources that have nothing to do with the
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Texas race.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Look, it happens every 15, 20 years. People get overly
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: mad at the rich people. I think people are frustrated
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: because it is expensive.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: But it was Biden who made it expensive.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Now, does Trump made it a little more expensive for
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: some things? Yes.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But your gas prices are not even as high as
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: they were during the Biden administration. Well, and the funniest
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: thing is people are freaking out like it's the like.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: oh my God, like there's like 5,000 people in line
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: at the Exxon.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Well, and the funniest thing too is for a little
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: while there before the fight with Iran did happen, things
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: were getting cheaper. And so I think that that's a
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: easy demonstration that things will get cheaper again in the.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Very near future. And then they'll all shut up.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Like the funniest part about the crazy people who get
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: so mad is that the minute that they actually don't
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: no longer get the thing they want. They never admit
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: that they were, you know, that it's been fixed. They'll
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: never go back to that. They'll just go on to
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: whatever they say the next horrible thing is. But I
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: think that in the very near future, gas prices will
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: actually go down a lot because the fight with Iran
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: will be over.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, they're saying the next president is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: going to deal with it. I don't think so. The
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: reality is, I believe after the election, you may see
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: other countries getting in because they kind of like that
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Trump's been beat up and they're kind of hoping that
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: 26 will be a harbinger of 28. Yeah. I don't
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: think it will be. Um, I not a huge fan
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of the way the Republican thing is setting up only
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: because I'm not a huge fan of JD Vance. I mean,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I think he's very smart. Um, I think he's kind
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: of a little biting.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I'm, I'm personally, I like him.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: You do. You're, you like him.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if this is the right way
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: to say it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: You're from up in that world. Yeah.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if this is the right way
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: to say it, man. It just, it feels like the
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: right way to say it for me. I would like
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: a candidate in their 40s or, you know.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I get that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I would like a candidate that's closer in age to me.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: No offense to Trump. I voted for Trump three times.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: So if I ran, you would not.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: No, I would vote for you. I would vote for you.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: But I like the idea of someone who just differently
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: articulates the same problems because I think that it does
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: reach people.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: In my generation more.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: And I think my generation is really one of the
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: biggest problems to getting more Republicans elected. Like I truly think,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: and we went to the faith fest here in Texas
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: and we heard from people that were saying Gen X
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: or Gen Z, excuse me, is doing a better job
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: of understanding some of these issues and voting, you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: more on the right than in previous generations. It's really
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: millennials who are screwing this up the most for everyone.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: And so J.D.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Vance, Marco Rubio, some people that get bounced around, They
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: seem to do pretty well with millennials.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. When I say I'm not happy, I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: a Marco Rubio fan. I just feel like they've got
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to figure out how that's going to work out because
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I think Marco Rubio is more palatable to middle voters.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And I think in a way the party is going
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to have to, don't get mad at me, return a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: little bit to a more, I call it compassionate, but
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a little more A different way to say the same thing. Right.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Not change America first, because America first is the answer. Right.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: To me.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, deliver the same message differently. But it's the same message,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: same policies, same behavior.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everything.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Vance is more similar to Trump than Rubio is.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Good news, if the Democrats do take over, they're going
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to screw up and remind people how screwed up they are. Yeah.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's not the end of the world.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I'd like for that not to happen. All right, quick break.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: A lot more. I know Wayne would, too. Quick break.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: A lot more. KSEV Radio, the voice of Texas.

  Speaker 3: 832-258-5738. Did I get that right?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: 832.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: No, that's a totally different number.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Whose number is that? Is that your number?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know. No, it's not my number.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: It's 281-558-5738.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, I thought I said it that way.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: 281-558-5738.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: No, you said 832.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, my bad. Don't call that other number.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I hope there's some 80-year-old woman who's in a wheelchair
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: who has to get up to answer the phone.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: My brain blanked for a second there.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I think 832 is an Illinois-based number, but it is
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: not mine.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: 281.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, now you're showing.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: That you're still a yank. Yeah.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: 832 is a Houston area code.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, is it? Okay. It's 281-832-713-346.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Man, I really hope I didn't give my Texas phone
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: number out on air.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I think you just gave your home number.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I'd like.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I'd like you to call that first number to call Craig.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I'd like the calls to start around midnight. Okay.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Thanks, guys.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: 281-558-5738.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I did get a Texas number when I moved here.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I have a long, long time phone number that's actually
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: a Google voice number. And then I always have like
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: a real number that's the iPhone number that I never use.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. I just got a text. I've been
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: deputized by the guy Huffines, who's running Don Huffines, who
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: is a boy. He's a patriot.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: We got to get him on the show.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I would love to get him on the show because
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: he's going to have a whistleblower portal. It's a new
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: whistleblower portal to send your tips directly to law enforcement investigators.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I am hoping that when he comes in, we'll get
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: some more cooperation from the controller's office. You know, I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: think I've called the controller's office, and I know the controller.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: We don't hang out or anything, but I know who
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: he is. We went to the same church in Katy.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: But every time I've called them, they've never called me back.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: They never call me back. The guy that's being paid
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: never called me back. You know, I've been asking for
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: records in Corpus for seven months, getting ready to do
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: another story on them. And The city secretary, I've called her,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I've threatened her, I've cajoled, and seven months, never called
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: me back. Wow. That's crazy.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: They're paid to call me back.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: And Don Huffines will help fix this.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: And so I would like to get Don on the show,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and Mays will give him another chance. He must have
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: been out last night.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Something happened.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Who knows? But vote for him. And look, I've told
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: him I'd like to speak to all my fellow patriots.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: And I like that word, patriots, because I think that's
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: what we are. I think that's who our listeners are, right?
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: That we want America to be strong and free and prosperous.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And we think these other people are nuts. Look, it's
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: really great to promise everybody free grocery stores and free buses.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Right? It is. I'm not even sure I would have
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: buses if I was running a city, but that's another story. Sure.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I would have a few buses, but not that train. Nothing?
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't have any?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Man, I don't know. Take an Uber.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: I miss trains. Being here in Houston, man, I like
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: the trains.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Look, they built our rail. First of all, we waited
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: too long, right? You did. Second of all, because things
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: got too expensive. We should have done a monorail a
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: long time ago. I thought we should have done a
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: monorail in this town. I don't know whether the technology
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: would work. It's done in other places. I thought it
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: would have been very cool. And I would have extended
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: it to suburban lines.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Well, and traffic wouldn't be as bad.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: If we had a train system like New York or
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: even Chicago has one, it would reduce the amount of
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: traffic because a whole bunch of people would get up
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: on the trains.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it would also, like, I lived in Seven
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Meadows in Katy for years. I raised my kids there.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: And I would drive in to Channel 13 every morning,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and it would take sometimes an hour and a half.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So it's not just about, it's also about time. I mean,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: in my world, I think about time a lot, right?
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And that's just a lot of time. That's like three
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: hours of my life every day.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Right, and traffic.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting in a car yelling at the crazy
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: person in front of me who cut cut in front
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: because they could get there five seconds quicker, right?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: The jerk that did that, yeah.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: No, that's the only thing that I really miss about
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: other places. Like, I've really enjoyed living in Houston. I
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: really enjoy living in Texas. I like the weather. We
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: joked about that the other day, that the weather's awful here.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: I think that's something you said, but I like it
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: comparatively because, like, when's the last time you were in
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: a snowstorm.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Just out of curiosity?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: It's been a few years.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: See, exactly, yeah, which is great.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I think I was visiting New York.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: We did move here just before it snowed in Houston.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Not this past winter, but the one before.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: And it was to me as somebody from the north,
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: a little amusing at how much, you know, it shut
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: stuff down for a day. But it was just a day.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: And up there you have like a month of that,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: two months of that where it's just horrible. So I
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: think that's one thing. people don't understand is so great
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: about living in the state.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. So I have a horrible story to share. So
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: speaking of, of snow years and years ago in 1980s,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: my father died in 1980s, but years ago, um, a
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: woman was killed by a guy in a downtown office building.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: And I, got their time to get him coming out
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to ask him and he confessed pretty much right on
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: camera right it was a pretty big story so that
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: woman and i can't believe i can't remember her name
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: right now um that woman is buried next to my
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: father wow and that's why i it coincidentally coincidentally That's crazy.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know why that's an important story, why I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: even remember it. Sure. But I don't remember a name
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: because I don't really go to cemeteries much. I don't
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: really think I need to go to a cemetery. Well,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I just don't think I need to go there to
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: let my mom and dad know that I wish they
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: were around. All my mom's friends, my mom died. 29
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: years ago, all our friends are still rocking and rolling.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: They're all in their eighties. Virtually none of them are gone. Wow.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm going, what a shame for her.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: But yeah, this woman is buried next to my dad
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and it was a really bad snowstorm that day. And
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: people were crashing into everything. Cause you know, here, if
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: it just rains, people start running into stuff like me.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those people.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Well, the infrastructure is not here.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Like the other thing that's funny about it is I
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: think we saw a plow that was stuck in the snow,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: which was amusing to someone from up north to see
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: a plow in Texas that can't get out of the
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: snow itself.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: That seems that seems like a poor use of the plow.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: We don't do snow well.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Well, but you don't have it, which is wonderful. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: this this winter, it didn't really happen. So, you know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: it'll be great. And I look forward to no snow again.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: People don't understand how good that is.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Well, on a happy note, it's the fall, and the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: weather here is great in the fall.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Are you a golf guy? I don't think I've asked
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: you that.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I used to be a golf guy until my wreck,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: and I just can't. My feet just don't work that
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: way anymore. But I used to enjoy playing golf. In fact,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the undercover unit at ABC 13 was famous for our
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: golf games.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: We used to. it was part, it was when we
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: would think about what we were going to do next. Um,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: we would go play golf.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Um, and you know, who was the best golfer out
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: of the names people would remember?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I was never the best golfer. No, I didn't go out.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I would just go with my guys. I didn't, I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: didn't really hang out much, uh, with the other party.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: We were all buddies and friends and we'd go drink together,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: but I didn't like, um, go play golf with them.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I played golf with my photographer and my producer. Um,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and we'd go screw off, I.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Do have a question because like I knew a bunch
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: of Tribune writer people like when I was working in
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: at WGN, we had a bunch of contributors who were
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: like longtime newspaper guys. And the newspaper guys would go
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: to the same bar just under the the Tribune Tower.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: It's Billy Goat Tavern, the one they made fun of
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: on Saturday Night Live with the cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger thing.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: And that's just what they do. They would all go
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: as a group. They'd hang out all the time. And
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: they didn't even really consider each other friends. Like the
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: funniest part is like, oh, your buddy. He's like, that's
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: not my friend. That's just the guy that I drink
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: with after work. Was that a thing that happened a
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: lot in television?
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Kay's Lounge on Bissonnette. So there was Kay's Lounge.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It was about, I don't know, a mile or so
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: from the station. And we'd get off the air at 1030.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: And Dave Ward and I would be at Kay's Lounge
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: by 1032. And there came a point where we would
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: park our news cars out there so much that there
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: are some nights when in front of Kay's lounge, there'd
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: be three or four channel 13 news trucks. And at
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: one point the station manager said, You guys need to
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: go park in the back.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because otherwise people think something's happening there.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Or that we were just a bunch of drunks.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. But I think that's great.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Because I do think a lot of people need to
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: go get a drink with their coworkers sometimes in order
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: to not hate each other.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: We do that.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we do. We're going to do it soon. A
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: quick break.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: A lot more KSEV Radio, the voice of Texas. We're
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: the mob guys. I see we got at least one
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: call on the line that called the right number and
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: not probably my Texas cell phone. 281-558-5738 is the phone number.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: 281-558-5738.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: We'll be right back after this. Unless you want to
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: talk about it on the air. KSEV Radio. Okay, you
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: really don't care about talking about anything on the radio.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: KSEV Radio. It's the voice of Texas.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I am Craig Colonnade. He is Wayne Del Cefino. We're
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: going to get to a phone call first, and then
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the thing we were talking
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: about off air. Because I got another message from a
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: different listener that accused us of something, and I kind.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Of was surprised by it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I'd love to hear it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: I'll read the whole message. But first, let's get to Lee.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Lee is calling about Ken Paxton. Lee, what do you
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: want to say?
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Good morning. CNN, when they talked to Drunk Dave, they
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: forgot to mention that Paxton just won a statewide race
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: and was just reelected when he decided to do this
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: failed attempt of impeachment. And by the way, Wayne, your
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: SpaceX stock is up 13% this morning.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, baby.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: That should make you happy.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, baby. That's good. Yeah, baby. I bought that at $ 100,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: so there you go. Oh, that's awesome. Awesome. You know,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: like I said, I always come in late. Like I
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: bought it the day the IPO came out, and then
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: three days later I added to it, which was my mistake,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: and then it went down a lot. But like I said,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: don't ever ask me for financial advice. I'm not the guy. Okay,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: who's complaining about this?
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Lee, thank you very much for the call. Unless you
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: want to say something else. Whatever else you want to say, Lee,
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: we didn't hang up on you yet.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: No, I'm going to tell you again, I'm a big
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: fan of Chris, but I really like what you're doing, Craig.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you very much, man. I really appreciate that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Craig's brother, Lee.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: I have no family in Texas. I have no family here. So, yeah,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: I want to tell you that. I got a message.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: So at Radio Craig C is where you can find
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: me on social media. My Facebook page is like 2,000 followers.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Wayne has 100,000.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: 126,000.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Excuse me, 126,000. I think if you wanted to actually
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: talk to us, you should probably go to Wayne's pages
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: because I don't even really monitor mine.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want more hate on my page. I've got
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: so much hate already.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: No, it's fine. I don't monitor mine as much as
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: I should.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: But I got a message a couple days ago from
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: someone that was accusing both of us of being a rhino.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you want me to give the
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: guy's name or anything about him.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Tell me his name.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: His first name's John.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: And John said that, you know, I've been listening recently
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: to KSEV and The New Morning Show with you and
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Wayne Dolcefino. And I just have to say that both
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: of you seem like liberals and not conservatives.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's me. OK.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: And then it went on and on about something that
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: either you or I said that.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: That he took is as anti-Trump.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: And so the thing I would say in response on
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: the air, I voted for Trump three times.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to be anti-Trump.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: When I vote for him three times, I'm not, I'm
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: not sure if it was you or me that they
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: were accusing.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Well, it probably was me.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: But, but let me tell you, I, I'm, I'm not,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I look, I'm not here. I'm not doing this to
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: be like, and if that's what people wanted, then, then
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. Am I going to get on
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and not criticize things that I think could have been
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: done better? Right. Like, there wasn't like a thought in
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: my mind that I was going to vote for the drunk,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: stupid woman for president.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not, I wasn't going to do it. Uh, I
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: agree with 95% of Trump's policies.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe, maybe a hundred percent.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe a hundred percent.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't, I look, I'm very, I'm a, I'm
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a bit of a war hawk. Um, I believe in a,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: a kick in somebody's butt. If you're messing with us,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in big government. Um, So I don't
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: know how that makes me at all a rhino, except
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that because I've been in the media for 50 years
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: and because I'm not stupid and because I see things
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: that I think are wrong, that I think are hurting us. Look,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I want conservatives to win. I want us to always win.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I want us to understand whether we like it or not. Yes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Some crap we're not going to undo. Yeah. We're not
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: going to deport. Look, I'm just trying to be totally
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: honest here. No. We're not going to deport everybody who
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: goes to Walmart and Home Depot. We're not going to
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: do it. All right. Sure. And the Democrats who make
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: such a big deal about this, they're the ones that
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: have these sanctuary cities, which should be we should not
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: send any federal money to any place that is sanctuary
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: cities or states. Well, nothing.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: The thing I wanted to say in response to it
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: is sort of, again, and I know I use this
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: term a lot when I talk about this, but like
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: a high level, like a macro discussion of it, because
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: if we get into the specifics, the listener doesn't even
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: say what you or I said that was specifically anti-Trump.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: It's just an overarching idea that there's an accusation that
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: we might be. And so here's the point I want
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: to make to a lot of people. And I don't
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: know how to not make it another way. So I'll
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: make it this way. I think there are people who
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: do things that are fake in media all the time.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: And I think like Megyn Kelly, for example, now, I
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: don't know if the real her is finally coming out
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: or the real her. was a few months ago when
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: she liked Trump. But now she hates the guy. Tucker
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Carlson is all over the place with what side of
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: the aisle he seems to be on. And I think
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: a lot of those people do that somewhat performatively to
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: chase views, to chase an audience.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Wayne and I don't do that.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Neither one of us from from knowing you as well
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: as I know you so far and knowing myself obviously
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: pretty well. We're just going to tell you what we think.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: And so I feel like it's important to draw that
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: difference because when people are accusing someone of being a rhino,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I think one of the biggest things they're accusing them
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: of saying is a lot of stuff that they don't believe,
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: whether the belief is all the positive Trump stuff or
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: negative stuff. Everything we say we believe. And this is
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: the other thing that's important. Trump doesn't deliver messages.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Great all the time. No, he doesn't.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: He doesn't.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Do I find them personally funny? Did it change my
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: support of Trump? Never. It is not.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: But when I say that, I understand how someone can
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: more easily attack the way Trump delivers something than say,
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: as you mentioned a few minutes ago, the way Marco
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Rubio does. And a masterclass happened when Rubio went and
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: spoke in Europe to all of the other countries about
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: how much they were failing us and how much they
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: needed to be a part of the team with us.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: And they stood up and applauded him.
• 40:48
