Transcript
- 0:35Speaker 1: On KSV Radio.
- 0:43Speaker 2: That's right.
- 0:44Speaker 3: We are the Mob Guys on KSV Radio. I am
- 0:48Speaker 3: Craig Colonese. He is Wayne Dolcefino. And I was just...
- 0:52Speaker 3: It's so funny, the setup we have, where you can
- 0:55Speaker 3: kind of hear but can't hear the stuff that's not me.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Because I... Go ahead.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I heard....
- 1:02Speaker 4: I heard your response to it is all I really heard.
- 1:05Speaker 4: I heard you get mad at a caller.
- 1:08Speaker 5: I did.
- 1:09Speaker 4: And I was telling you, and a lot of this
- 1:11Speaker 4: is colored by, I think, generationally.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Sure, go ahead. You're what, a millennium?
- 1:16Speaker 3: I'm a millennial, yes.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Okay, well, whatever they are. Okay, and I'm a boomer, okay?
- 1:22Speaker 4: And during boomer times, we used to enjoy the dialogue
- 1:29Speaker 4: Even with the stupidest people.
- 1:31Speaker 3: I enjoy the dialogue with the stupid people. I don't
- 1:34Speaker 3: like people who say things that are attempting to be offensive.
- 1:37Speaker 3: And this is what I mean by it. I'm going
- 1:38Speaker 3: to play it. This is Joe from earlier today trying
- 1:42Speaker 3: to say that Jesus himself claimed that the Jewish people
- 1:47Speaker 3: had the devil within it. And it's so intentionally misinterpreting.
- 1:53Speaker 3: what's actually in the Bible, to try to claim that somehow,
- 1:56Speaker 3: some way, the people in Israel, at least the people
- 1:58Speaker 3: in the government in Israel, are disproportionately evil, saying as
- 2:02Speaker 3: if the serpent or whatever it is exists more so.
- 2:07Speaker 3: in that society than anywhere else, which to me is
- 2:10Speaker 3: definitively dumb. Yeah, I don't know. But here, I want
- 2:14Speaker 3: to play it, because I just thought it was so interesting.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I'm going to bring a serpent here next time.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Here, Wayne, listen to this.
- 2:19Speaker 5: You know, coming through the Jewish people, and Zionism to
- 2:22Speaker 5: me doesn't mean that Jews are going to rule the world,
- 2:24Speaker 5: but it means that Jesus is going to rule the world,
- 2:27Speaker 5: the Lion of Judah. So I'm excited about all that,
- 2:31Speaker 5: but like Jesus himself said, you know, among the Jews
- 2:34Speaker 5: in the synagogue of Satan, the Sadducees and the Pharisees
- 2:37Speaker 5: and the fakes, and there's a bunch of fake Jews,
- 2:40Speaker 5: like the Rothschilds, who do exert.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I think he was just barreling into this version of
- 2:45Speaker 3: trying to say on radio that Israel is disproportionately full
- 2:50Speaker 3: of bad people, and I reject that statement entirely. And
- 2:53Speaker 3: I think a lot of the people who do try
- 2:56Speaker 3: to claim this think that there is, and this is
- 2:58Speaker 3: where it starts to sound anti-Semitic, a version of, you know,
- 3:02Speaker 3: worse people that exist somewhere than anywhere else. And there
- 3:06Speaker 3: are bad people. I'm not going to pretend there aren't.
- 3:08Speaker 3: And bad people live in government. Bad people love to
- 3:10Speaker 3: work in government. But I think it's the same amount
- 3:13Speaker 3: of bad people, no matter what society we choose, that
- 3:16Speaker 3: are probably in too much power in some places than
- 3:19Speaker 3: others that make the whole society bad. I think there's
- 3:21Speaker 3: a lot of good people that live in Iran, by
- 3:24Speaker 3: the way. They're just not in charge.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I reacted to something different.
- 3:27Speaker 4: I reacted to the Jews trying to take over the world.
- 3:32Speaker 4: As someone who was raised in a half-Jewish, my mother's Jewish,
- 3:38Speaker 4: and a Roman Catholic father, like a lot of New
- 3:41Speaker 4: York Italian Jews, they seemed to like each other whenever
- 3:45Speaker 4: they got married a lot back then. I reacted to
- 3:49Speaker 4: that in a way almost sort of weirdly. I reacted
- 3:55Speaker 4: weirdly because I don't know of a Jewish person I
- 3:59Speaker 4: know that thinks that even if we wanted to take
- 4:04Speaker 4: over the world, that the Jews are trying to take
- 4:07Speaker 4: over the world.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Right.
- 4:09Speaker 4: If they start a settlement in a place where– I
- 4:13Speaker 4: don't know that using the Democrats' theory that the ancient
- 4:18Speaker 4: Sioux lived here or something.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:21Speaker 4: So somehow I'm obligated to always call it Siouxland for
- 4:25Speaker 4: the rest.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Of the rest of it.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Look, he actually also mentioned the World Economic Forum. And
- 4:30Speaker 3: a lot of people, a lot of people believe and
- 4:33Speaker 3: I actually believe this, too, that the World Economic Forum
- 4:35Speaker 3: is full of people that do want to take over
- 4:38Speaker 3: the world financially. They're not, you know. from any one country.
- 4:42Speaker 3: They don't look any one sort of way. It's a
- 4:44Speaker 3: lot of very rich people.
- 4:45Speaker 1: But that's not a religious thing.
- 4:45Speaker 3: It's not a religious thing. It's a lot of really
- 4:47Speaker 3: rich people that go to places like Davos and have
- 4:50Speaker 3: conversations that feel like they're out of a Bond movie.
- 4:52Speaker 3: I agree with him on that. I don't blame Israel
- 4:55Speaker 3: for being any sort of catalyst to that type of
- 4:57Speaker 3: existence of the World Economic Forum, and I think some
- 5:00Speaker 3: people do. And this all goes back to the real point,
- 5:04Speaker 3: which is I think when people are mad at something
- 5:06Speaker 3: in their own life, whether I don't have enough money,
- 5:08Speaker 3: I don't have enough whatever it is, I find someone
- 5:11Speaker 3: to blame. And whoever that person is that I blame
- 5:14Speaker 3: or that group that I blame, I blame them to
- 5:17Speaker 3: a ridiculous degree. And I do think a lot of
- 5:19Speaker 3: younger people might now think that financially evil Israel is
- 5:24Speaker 3: the reason they don't have something in their own life.
- 5:27Speaker 3: They don't say it like that.
- 5:28Speaker 6: I know.
- 5:28Speaker 3: They don't say it like that. They don't even think
- 5:30Speaker 3: about it like that. But in the back of their brain,
- 5:32Speaker 3: what motivates them to believe this so definitively, to believe
- 5:35Speaker 3: their conspiracy theory of the week is... is it fulfills
- 5:39Speaker 3: the idea that they couldn't succeed on their own, that
- 5:42Speaker 3: somebody stopped them.
- 5:43Speaker 4: And because we've been talking about this, you and I,
- 5:46Speaker 4: about facts versus opinions and stuff, and I totally get it.
- 5:50Speaker 4: I guess what's weird to me is that how did
- 5:55Speaker 4: it become a fact that the Israelis were the ones
- 6:01Speaker 4: who are the evil people when they're not the ones
- 6:04Speaker 4: who went over in mass and shot babies and raped
- 6:09Speaker 4: women in front of their husbands. What kind of sick,
- 6:14Speaker 4: perverted mind even thinks, well, I'll tell you what, I'll
- 6:20Speaker 4: kill the.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Baby, too.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Who does that?
- 6:23Speaker 3: They put a baby in an oven. That was one
- 6:26Speaker 3: of the things that someone found. It's disgusting. It's disgusting.
- 6:29Speaker 3: It's really horrible. But I wanted to say something, because
- 6:32Speaker 3: we were talking about facts and opinions, and you're absolutely
- 6:35Speaker 3: right that It's not a fact, the thing you said.
- 6:37Speaker 3: It's an opinion. People have an opinion that they don't
- 6:40Speaker 3: have grounded in very much information that makes them believe
- 6:43Speaker 3: something like what you just said, that Israel is the
- 6:46Speaker 3: evil party in all this. And I do think facts matter.
- 6:50Speaker 3: And it doesn't mean that I don't talk about my opinion.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Of course I do every day for two hours. I
- 6:54Speaker 3: just don't pretend it's a fact. I tell you my
- 6:57Speaker 3: opinion is my opinion, and I don't act like the
- 6:59Speaker 3: CNNs of the world who report their opinion as fact.
- 7:03Speaker 4: Yeah, some guy who had knowledge of some other guy
- 7:05Speaker 4: who was at a meeting saying, well, that must make
- 7:08Speaker 4: it true because, you know, I have knowledge of a
- 7:11Speaker 4: lot of crap that I'm not invited to.
- 7:14Speaker 3: I bet you do. Well, that's the other thing. You know,
- 7:17Speaker 3: it's funny.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Sorry, Wayne.
- 7:18Speaker 3: You know what's funny about this, I think, is the
- 7:20Speaker 3: reason we like each other so much is you love
- 7:22Speaker 3: truth as much as I do. You just go find
- 7:25Speaker 3: it in a bunch of different places. Like, you go
- 7:28Speaker 3: find truth all over and you report it to everybody.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I love it. just within the context of what I
- 7:34Speaker 3: talk about, but I don't go find it the way
- 7:36Speaker 3: you do.
- 7:37Speaker 4: Yeah. And I always tell my people too. I said, look,
- 7:40Speaker 4: sometimes there are bad facts in every deal. There is
- 7:44Speaker 4: going to be a fact that I could find that
- 7:46Speaker 4: will make it look like Wayne D'Oltrofino must be an
- 7:49Speaker 4: evil guy.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I could, right. Because I, right.
- 7:53Speaker 4: I look, Facts are very stubborn things, and they are.
- 7:58Speaker 4: But I also, and I know that back during the
- 8:01Speaker 4: first Trump administration, I forget the lady's name, but she
- 8:04Speaker 4: said alternative facts.
- 8:06Speaker 1: There are alternative facts, folks. Are you talking about Jen Psaki?
- 8:10Speaker 3: No, it wasn't Jen Psaki. Or are you talking about
- 8:13Speaker 3: Kayleigh McEnany? Are you talking about the Trump one?
- 8:15Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the Trump one.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Okay, it might have been Kayleigh.
- 8:17Speaker 4: But she said alternative facts. And everyone said, well, I
- 8:21Speaker 4: didn't talk about alternative facts.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Facts are facts, right, right?
- 8:24Speaker 4: But no, actually, in every fight, and every lawyer knows this,
- 8:30Speaker 4: there are good facts, right, or good pieces of evidence
- 8:36Speaker 4: and bad pieces of evidence. Like, a lot of times,
- 8:40Speaker 4: my staff will try to get along with people we
- 8:43Speaker 4: ask for records from.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Sure.
- 8:44Speaker 3: They'll say, how you doing?
- 8:46Speaker 1: Have a nice day.
- 8:47Speaker 4: I could give two craps what kind of day some
- 8:50Speaker 4: open records person in some town is having.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I don't care. I really don't.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Your job, which I'm paying, taxpayers are paying you to do,
- 9:00Speaker 4: is to give me my records.
- 9:03Speaker 1: These aren't their records. They're our records.
- 9:06Speaker 4: I remember when I get in fights with people all
- 9:08Speaker 4: the time, they go, well, for the protection of the entity.
- 9:12Speaker 1: What the hell is that? I mean, it's our stuff.
- 9:15Speaker 4: I'm simply just paying you to give me my stuff back.
- 9:21Speaker 4: And then I see no reason to make small talk.
- 9:24Speaker 4: So a lot of times I am well-known here in
- 9:27Speaker 4: my office, and I'm sure my staff could tell you,
- 9:31Speaker 4: that when I hear my staff come to me and say, well,
- 9:36Speaker 4: they told us to do this, and I say, well,
- 9:39Speaker 4: what did you say back to them? And they said, oh,
- 9:41Speaker 4: I just said keep us in touch.
- 9:44Speaker 1: I'm like, what?
- 9:46Speaker 4: What do you mean keep us in touch? I send
- 9:48Speaker 4: an immediate e-mail. You know, go take a crap on yourself, right?
- 9:53Speaker 4: You're not doing your job. And people here think that's
- 9:57Speaker 4: mean-spirited and inappropriate.
- 9:59Speaker 7: Of course.
- 9:59Speaker 1: But I enjoy it. Okay?
- 10:03Speaker 3: That's not the end of that sentence I was expecting.
- 10:05Speaker 3: You're going to say there's also a point to it.
- 10:07Speaker 3: I'm doing it for the betterment.
- 10:09Speaker 1: No, I was doing it for the betterment of the world.
- 10:11Speaker 4: I was doing it to tell someone that I think
- 10:13Speaker 4: is a Jake leg that they're a Jake leg.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And I don't care.
- 10:17Speaker 4: And please tell your boss you can quote me. I
- 10:20Speaker 4: always say that, too. That's another Wayne thing I like
- 10:22Speaker 4: to say. You can quote me.
- 10:24Speaker 1: You know what? And tell your boss. Yeah. And you
- 10:28Speaker 1: can quote me.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Our phones are lighting up, so we are going to
- 10:31Speaker 3: go to the phones again in just a little bit.
- 10:33Speaker 3: And no, it's fine. It'll be fine. And I will
- 10:35Speaker 3: treat everybody kindly unless they lie about crazy stuff.
- 10:37Speaker 1: No, no, no. Look, dude, I don't treat everybody kindly.
- 10:40Speaker 1: I don't care about that. Then I won't.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Then we'll treat people like crap.
- 10:44Speaker 4: It was only weird because I didn't actually hear very
- 10:47Speaker 4: well what he said.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Yes.
- 10:49Speaker 4: So I didn't know if he said, I like.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Butter on my bagel. And I got mad. I get it.
- 10:57Speaker 3: I totally understand. 281-558-5738 is the phone number.
- 11:04Speaker 4: 281-558-5738.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Another reason we both like each other is that both
- 11:08Speaker 3: of us don't mind being a jerk sometimes. Quick break.

- 12:45Speaker 9: don't go looking without a solid pre-approval in hand. And
- 12:48Speaker 9: this includes an application and a detailed discussion about property taxes.
- 12:53Speaker 9: If you didn't have the talk. You know, about property taxes,
- 12:56Speaker 9: you really don't know what you're pre-approved for. That should

- 13:01Speaker 9: Mortgages are personal. Let's face it, we're dealing with your

- 14:03Speaker 3: I am Craig Colonese. He's Wayne Dolcefino. Let's get to George,
- 14:07Speaker 3: who's calling in in Tamba. George, what do you want
- 14:09Speaker 3: to say?
- 14:12Speaker 7: Yeah, first of all, get out the pen and write
- 14:14Speaker 7: this down because it's a teaching moment.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
- 14:20Speaker 7: Facts are affected by several things. First, the content or
- 14:28Speaker 7: the context in which a fact is presented. the perspective
- 14:33Speaker 7: of the person who saw the fact and their personal experience.
- 14:40Speaker 7: The facts don't change. What changes is the perspective of
- 14:45Speaker 7: the person that is viewing it.
- 14:48Speaker 10: For example, when I taught at the academy, one of
- 14:51Speaker 10: the things, yeah, when I taught at the academy was, okay,
- 14:56Speaker 10: we can each stand on a different corner and watch
- 14:59Speaker 10: the same car accident.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:00Speaker 7: And have completely different stories or completely different versions just
- 15:05Speaker 7: based on the angle that we watched it from.
- 15:08Speaker 3: I don't need to, I didn't need to write that down, Joe.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I agree with you wholeheartedly. What else do you want
- 15:12Speaker 3: to say? George, George, George, George, George. Yeah, I did.
- 15:15Speaker 3: My brain was still at Joe George. I agree with
- 15:17Speaker 3: you hard.
- 15:18Speaker 1: His name is George.
- 15:19Speaker 3: His name is George. No, I, all that. I agree
- 15:21Speaker 3: with what else you got.
- 15:21Speaker 7: That's the other thing too.
- 15:25Speaker 11: It's like this.
- 15:26Speaker 7: Um, We now live in a society where everybody is
- 15:30Speaker 7: a YouTube star, influencer. Everyone thinks their opinion is so
- 15:35Speaker 7: important that they're willing to, quote, unquote, go to war,
- 15:39Speaker 7: and every hill is a hill they want to.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Die on, right?
- 15:42Speaker 7: And, like, I don't listen to this radio show or
- 15:46Speaker 7: radio on KFCV because I want to be angry. I
- 15:50Speaker 7: don't listen because I'm trying to convince people of anything.
- 15:54Speaker 7: I don't care what other people think. Just saying. I
- 15:57Speaker 7: live for entertainment. I want to enjoy my life. I
- 16:03Speaker 7: want others to enjoy their life. And I want to
- 16:06Speaker 7: leave with something positive. But that being said, listen, if
- 16:11Speaker 7: you went out and bought a TV this weekend that
- 16:14Speaker 7: you couldn't possibly afford... That's not the fault of the Jews.
- 16:18Speaker 1: It's not.
- 16:19Speaker 7: If you went out to Vegas thinking that you're going
- 16:22Speaker 7: to hit that machine and blah, blah, blah, and you're
- 16:26Speaker 7: going to pay off that TV, again, that's not the
- 16:29Speaker 7: fault of the Jews. It doesn't matter that a Jew
- 16:31Speaker 7: may be an investor in that casino. You made the decision. So,
- 16:36Speaker 7: you know, it's a constant need to scapegoat. problems on
- 16:40Speaker 7: to other people.
- 16:41Speaker 1: But again, some of the.
- 16:43Speaker 7: Callers, I don't understand why they listen to the show
- 16:46Speaker 7: because they've never once called up and said like, hey, wow,
- 16:51Speaker 7: did you try this barbecue place? At some point, you've
- 16:55Speaker 7: got to be positive.
- 16:58Speaker 3: I love it. It's such a good call.
- 17:00Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 17:02Speaker 3: Hold on. Wayne wants to ask you something, George.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Well, I wasn't going to ask him something. I want
- 17:06Speaker 1: to make sure.
- 17:06Speaker 4: Did George say that You made the decision to gamble
- 17:12Speaker 4: or the Jew made the decision to gamble?
- 17:15Speaker 7: No, you make the decision. And then after you lose,
- 17:19Speaker 7: clearly it's the Jew's fault.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Okay. I thought so. I just wanted to make sure
- 17:24Speaker 1: I was right about that. That's amazing.
- 17:25Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 17:26Speaker 7: No, because I probably took a trip after almost 10
- 17:30Speaker 7: years to Vegas, right? I went there.
- 17:34Speaker 10: with the idea.
- 17:35Speaker 7: That, okay, here's the amount of money I can lose comfortably,
- 17:38Speaker 7: and I'm okay, right? And so I was able to
- 17:43Speaker 7: walk around the various machines, which are way too complicated,
- 17:47Speaker 7: and enjoy myself, knowing that, okay, I designated this as
- 17:51Speaker 7: I'm going to lose, but I'm going to have a Coke,
- 17:54Speaker 7: and I'm going to enjoy, you know, the scenery, right?
- 17:57Speaker 7: But the next morning when I would get up and
- 18:00Speaker 7: go to breakfast and I just saw people angry and bitter,
- 18:04Speaker 7: it's like, why did you dabble with your last nickel?
- 18:08Speaker 7: I don't get it. Again, that's not my fault.
- 18:12Speaker 12: So anyway.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Amen.
- 18:13Speaker 4: George and I are part of the same political party.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Thank you so much, George. Thank you for the call.
- 18:17Speaker 4: We're part of the same political party, George and I, right?
- 18:20Speaker 4: We're part of the stop. whining about the decisions.
- 18:25Speaker 1: You made, party. I'm in that party, too. I know
- 18:27Speaker 1: it's a little long of a name.
- 18:29Speaker 3: That's fine. I love that party.
- 18:31Speaker 1: But that really is what it is. Yes.
- 18:34Speaker 4: I mean, I'm mad that my food stamps aren't bigger.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Instead of saying to myself, I'm in my underwear at
- 18:42Speaker 4: 8 o'clock at night, I could go get a part-time job. Right.
- 18:46Speaker 1: But I'm not going to do it. And maybe not.
- 18:48Speaker 4: Because I'd rather... The food stamps were free to me.
- 18:52Speaker 4: And if I have another kid, I could even get
- 18:56Speaker 4: more food stamps.
- 18:57Speaker 3: No, exactly. And the reason that I said it was
- 18:59Speaker 3: a good call was not just that George agreed with
- 19:01Speaker 3: us and agreed with me.
- 19:02Speaker 1: No, that's why I said it.
- 19:03Speaker 3: I promise. It's also because he grasped the entirety of
- 19:06Speaker 3: the conversation we're trying to have. And that's exactly it.
- 19:08Speaker 3: What you just said, Wayne, is that there are a
- 19:10Speaker 3: lot of people, I think, today that wake up each
- 19:13Speaker 3: morning mad at something that's happening in their life. And
- 19:16Speaker 3: instead of thinking how to fix it, like what steps
- 19:18Speaker 3: do I need to do, regardless of who caused it.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Maybe you are innocent. Maybe someone treated you poorly. Who knows?
- 19:24Speaker 3: There was a generation of people that woke up in
- 19:27Speaker 3: a bad situation and their first thought was, how do
- 19:29Speaker 3: I fix this? And this generation's first thought to me is,
- 19:33Speaker 3: who do I blame for this? Not how do I
- 19:35Speaker 3: fix it?
- 19:36Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 19:36Speaker 4: And so I talked about my car accident from Friday.
- 19:39Speaker 4: And I took my car in yesterday to the shop.
- 19:43Speaker 1: And by the way, my.
- 19:47Speaker 4: Car guy, been my car guy since I was like
- 19:50Speaker 4: 14 years old when my dad used to take.
- 19:53Speaker 1: That's how long I've known my car guy. He is
- 19:56Speaker 1: an Israeli. Okay?
- 19:58Speaker 4: So I just want you to know, okay, that I
- 20:02Speaker 4: didn't wake up this morning going, that damn.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Jew car guy. How dare he?
- 20:09Speaker 4: He's going to charge me $ 30, 000 to fix my car,
- 20:14Speaker 4: which I ran into the side of an 18-wheeler.
- 20:18Speaker 1: This is exactly the analogy.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Exactly. Well, and honestly, and this is the part where,
- 20:23Speaker 3: and I think you've talked about this on the show.
- 20:24Speaker 3: It's kind of cool that we're hitting on a bunch
- 20:25Speaker 3: of these themes within the same discussion. But there are
- 20:29Speaker 3: moments to be compassionate. There are moments to say, hey,
- 20:33Speaker 3: everything that might have happened to you, every challenge you face,
- 20:35Speaker 3: it wasn't all your fault. You didn't make all the
- 20:37Speaker 3: wrong decisions. Some people are unlucky. But the thing is,
- 20:41Speaker 3: focusing on that and looking backward at who you blame
- 20:45Speaker 3: for where you are doesn't fix the place you're in.
- 20:48Speaker 3: None of the young people who are upset about something
- 20:51Speaker 3: are fixing that problem by being mad at stuff. They
- 20:54Speaker 3: need to get that second job. They need to do
- 20:56Speaker 3: whatever it takes to get the better situation that they want.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Then they can go back and complain. But when you're
- 21:02Speaker 3: not doing the work to improve whatever the problem is,
- 21:06Speaker 3: you can't also complain about the problems.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Hey, can I ask you a question? Sure.
- 21:10Speaker 4: What is, how much have we, how much have we
- 21:16Speaker 4: lost in this country because of free tax on overtime?
- 21:22Speaker 1: I mean, how much overtime? I don't know. Why don't
- 21:26Speaker 1: I hear that?
- 21:27Speaker 4: I would love, why don't I hear from my fellow conservatives,
- 21:32Speaker 4: my Republicans, right? We always say no tax on tips,
- 21:35Speaker 4: no tax on Social Security, no tax on Jews, whatever, right?
- 21:40Speaker 4: We always say that, but why don't we ever say,
- 21:43Speaker 4: since 2024, we have put $ 90 million back in the
- 21:51Speaker 4: pockets of workers in this country. Or $ 20 million, or
- 21:57Speaker 4: $ 2 million, or like in my office's case, no million, right?
- 22:01Speaker 4: Because they don't want to work overtime. But But I'm
- 22:04Speaker 4: sure somewhere in America there is still someone who says,
- 22:08Speaker 4: you know what? I normally make $ 20 an hour, and
- 22:12Speaker 4: I got to pay taxes out of that. And if
- 22:15Speaker 4: I work from 5 to 8 for three hours, I
- 22:20Speaker 4: get the whole $ 60, not.
- 22:24Speaker 1: The $ 13. 23.
- 22:25Speaker 4: And I don't say to myself, you know what? I
- 22:28Speaker 4: don't want to do it every day, but maybe once
- 22:30Speaker 4: a week.
- 22:31Speaker 5: Sure.
- 22:32Speaker 1: So I can buy my kid a gift or something.
- 22:36Speaker 3: And honestly, the other thing that I'll say, and I
- 22:39Speaker 3: know this is probably one of the reasons my mom
- 22:40Speaker 3: listens to the radio, as I occasionally praise her while
- 22:42Speaker 3: on the air.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Because of me.
- 22:43Speaker 3: It's because of you. She's a single mom. She raised
- 22:46Speaker 3: four kids as a single mom. My dad was out
- 22:48Speaker 3: of the picture when I was a very young child,
- 22:50Speaker 3: and my mom went to school and had two jobs.
- 22:52Speaker 3: And that's how she eventually got to the point to
- 22:54Speaker 3: be successful, is she went to college at night and
- 22:57Speaker 3: had two jobs during the day while raising four kids.
- 23:00Speaker 3: So I know everybody's situation is different.
- 23:02Speaker 1: And she wasn't Jewish.
- 23:04Speaker 3: She was not Jewish. And she didn't blame Jewish people
- 23:06Speaker 3: at all for any of the challenges that we faced
- 23:08Speaker 3: as a family. And honestly, it's one of many people
- 23:12Speaker 3: that I can point to and say, regardless of what
- 23:15Speaker 3: the challenges are, forcing success is something we can do.
- 23:19Speaker 3: We can force it.
- 23:21Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the reasons why I'm
- 23:23Speaker 1: so unsympathetic. Sure. Because I have been working.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Like everyone else, and I guess I could complain, I've
- 23:31Speaker 4: been working in radio since I was, what, 18 years old?
- 23:35Speaker 1: I'm 69. I'm in 51 years. I worked my butt off.
- 23:41Speaker 4: When I got into television at Channel 13, I would
- 23:45Speaker 4: work weekends and nights, the crap shift, right?
- 23:49Speaker 1: And I would.
- 23:52Speaker 4: During my days off, work on stories that I wanted
- 23:56Speaker 4: to do that.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I didn't have the time to work on.
- 23:59Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 24:00Speaker 4: So that I would get good stories, and then they
- 24:03Speaker 4: would say, hey, you know that Dolce Fino kid?
- 24:06Speaker 1: He gets a good story.
- 24:07Speaker 4: Let's have him work on another story, and this time
- 24:10Speaker 4: we'll actually pay him for his work.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I wasn't even getting paid.
- 24:13Speaker 11: I know.
- 24:14Speaker 1: We weren't even getting overtime. Yeah. Forgetting the no tax stuff.
- 24:18Speaker 1: We were getting crap.
- 24:20Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 24:20Speaker 3: My first job in radio, I also didn't get paid.
- 24:22Speaker 3: I was on air in South Bend covering Notre Dame
- 24:25Speaker 3: football as the student reporter. And I didn't even get
- 24:29Speaker 3: credit because I wasn't taking a class that gave me
- 24:30Speaker 3: credit for it. I just did it because they offered
- 24:33Speaker 3: it to me and I wanted to do it. And
- 24:34Speaker 3: that's how I started radio.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Because you wanted to better yourself.
- 24:37Speaker 12: Yes.
- 24:37Speaker 4: And I guess that's why I'm so unsympathetic and so frustrated.
- 24:41Speaker 5: Sure.
- 24:42Speaker 4: Because I just don't understand what they want. I know
- 24:46Speaker 4: what they want. They want to be taken care of.
- 24:49Speaker 4: They want to live like their mommy and daddy live.
- 24:52Speaker 4: But their mommy and.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Daddy's, you know, look, my kids, you know, do their thing.
- 24:59Speaker 1: I get it.
- 25:01Speaker 4: We came from a generation that believed that you have
- 25:05Speaker 4: to help yourself. And that's why the Kennedy thing kind of,
- 25:10Speaker 4: to me, made some sense.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Because it's like, really?
- 25:14Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Like, let's figure out a way to make it better
- 25:18Speaker 4: instead of, like, look, and I'm compassionate.
- 25:21Speaker 1: I've told you that.
- 25:21Speaker 4: I've got a compassion part of me, and I believe
- 25:25Speaker 4: in helping people temporarily when they lose their jobs. If
- 25:30Speaker 4: they can prove to me that they actually had a
- 25:32Speaker 4: real job and they lost their job and they need
- 25:37Speaker 4: some help for six months, I'm cool.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Me too.
- 25:41Speaker 3: I'm cool with that, but anything longer than that, I'm
- 25:43Speaker 3: not cool. I get very quickly uncool. All right, we've
- 25:47Speaker 3: got to take another break. We've got two segments left.

- 29:20Speaker 7: 281-558-5738.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Go ahead. I never go back to.
- 29:27Speaker 4: The calls, but I did have someone text me this morning,
- 29:29Speaker 4: a local issue. At the Lamarck City Council meeting, Councilman
- 29:36Speaker 4: Lowry made a motion to censor the mayor. for getting
- 29:41Speaker 4: charged with, can I say masturbating?
- 29:45Speaker 1: That's okay.
- 29:46Speaker 3: You can say that word, yes.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Masturbating in a lobby of a building, right?
- 29:52Speaker 5: Wow.
- 29:52Speaker 1: Because that's what mayors do, right?
- 29:54Speaker 6: Wow.
- 29:54Speaker 1: And nobody seconded the motion. Why?
- 29:58Speaker 6: Why?
- 29:59Speaker 3: Because of the power structure?
- 30:01Speaker 1: Because of the power structure.
- 30:02Speaker 3: That's crazy.
- 30:03Speaker 1: He also tried.
- 30:04Speaker 4: To censor a city councilwoman who, to use his words,
- 30:09Speaker 4: shook down someone who was trying to do business with
- 30:12Speaker 4: the city. I guess she wanted him to hire as
- 30:15Speaker 4: a consultant or something. You know, the consultant thing. And
- 30:18Speaker 4: nobody seconded that one either. So I just want to
- 30:20Speaker 4: shout out to the taxpayers and the voters in Lamarck.
- 30:26Speaker 4: This is apparently... The mayor getting charged with, you know,
- 30:31Speaker 4: doing something really gross and stupid in front of some
- 30:34Speaker 4: strange lady who's not part of this.
- 30:36Speaker 1: It's not something worth censoring. It's okay. It happens.
- 30:41Speaker 4: People get charged with indecent exposure.
- 30:45Speaker 1: All the time. It's just a misunderstanding.
- 30:48Speaker 3: See, here's the thing. I know you're being sarcastic again.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
- 30:51Speaker 1: I am.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Right.
- 30:52Speaker 3: For anyone that doesn't. Here's the thing that I don't
- 30:54Speaker 3: understand about this.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Who doesn't know I was being sarcastic?
- 30:56Speaker 3: I don't know. I doubt anybody doesn't. But anyway, the
- 30:58Speaker 3: thing that I don't get about this is why they're
- 31:01Speaker 3: so unapologetic about how differently they allow the rules to
- 31:04Speaker 3: exist in politics and anywhere. Like they're just so unapologetic
- 31:08Speaker 3: about we're not going to do things that the rest
- 31:11Speaker 3: of society would do. And we don't even fear that
- 31:14Speaker 3: it will cost us our jobs. We don't fear that
- 31:16Speaker 3: we'll lose our next election because of this horrible thing
- 31:19Speaker 3: we did.
- 31:20Speaker 4: Well, because they're convincing people that the two great phrases
- 31:23Speaker 4: of this campaign were of choice. And genocide. I was
- 31:29Speaker 4: actually arguing the other day with someone about genocide. So
- 31:33Speaker 4: tell me how this is a genocide, right? Like they
- 31:36Speaker 4: bring food into these people. They've gotten them like 90
- 31:39Speaker 4: million tons of food into Gaza. Generally, when you're trying
- 31:43Speaker 4: to destroy people, you don't feed them.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of several.
- 31:48Speaker 1: I don't know. I know that's a bad fact.
- 31:50Speaker 13: I know.
- 31:51Speaker 1: But they did that.
- 31:52Speaker 4: And I just genocide and war of choice, the two
- 31:58Speaker 4: big lies of this campaign.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the funniest thing about the war of
- 32:03Speaker 3: choice one to me is that so many other people
- 32:06Speaker 3: wanted to make that choice and didn't do it. Several presidents,
- 32:11Speaker 3: Democrats and Republicans, said that they probably needed at some
- 32:14Speaker 3: point to fight Iran to stop them from trying to
- 32:17Speaker 3: build a nuclear weapon. And anyone that tells me they
- 32:19Speaker 3: weren't close to it at all is quoting Iran, which
- 32:23Speaker 3: is crazy to me when they're like, no, no, Iran
- 32:24Speaker 3: told us they weren't doing it. And these people believe it,
- 32:27Speaker 3: which is stupid. But Democrats and Republicans for years were saying,
- 32:31Speaker 3: that's an unchecked power we need to check. Trump's the
- 32:34Speaker 3: one who actually did it.
- 32:35Speaker 4: But even if they predicted what would happen, and that's
- 32:42Speaker 4: why they didn't do it, I have respect for that
- 32:46Speaker 4: in the sense that You keep on having this wishful
- 32:49Speaker 4: thinking that maybe the Iranians will get better. Maybe as
- 32:53Speaker 4: time goes past, they won't talk about the Shah anymore
- 32:57Speaker 4: and they can move on to this century.
- 32:59Speaker 3: But that's where you're getting to that war of choice
- 33:02Speaker 3: objection that I think is unfair because someone was eventually
- 33:06Speaker 3: going to make a choice if seven or eight people
- 33:08Speaker 3: talked about how we probably have to make it. They
- 33:10Speaker 3: didn't make it, but they're saying we probably have to.
- 33:13Speaker 4: And as I told you yesterday, I argue something different.
- 33:15Speaker 4: Every war is a war of choice.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Sure. I mean, at the end of the day. It's true.
- 33:19Speaker 4: It is. We could have gotten Pearl Harbor blown up
- 33:21Speaker 4: and the next day said, look, I know the Japanese
- 33:24Speaker 4: are mad.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Right?
- 33:27Speaker 1: And that's okay.
- 33:28Speaker 3: And I understand the dynasty. Right.
- 33:31Speaker 4: I promise I'll do better. We'll do better. We could
- 33:34Speaker 4: have done that.
- 33:34Speaker 3: We could have.
- 33:35Speaker 1: That was a choice we made.
- 33:36Speaker 13: Right.
- 33:37Speaker 4: To say, this is a day that will live in infamy,
- 33:40Speaker 4: you little weasels.
- 33:42Speaker 1: We're going to kick the crap out of you.
- 33:44Speaker 4: That was the choice we made as a country because
- 33:49Speaker 4: we were, for some reason, mad that someone blew up
- 33:52Speaker 4: all our soldiers and sailors and stuff like that.
- 33:56Speaker 1: But it was a choice.
- 33:58Speaker 4: That's why I think war of choice is such a
- 34:01Speaker 4: ridiculous thing.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Great point. Because could we have chosen something else? Yeah.
- 34:08Speaker 4: Look, Trump made a play. He said, they're never going
- 34:13Speaker 4: to be weaker. There's a chance to kill them all
- 34:16Speaker 4: in one room. I say, let's do it.
- 34:19Speaker 1: And you know what? That's a gamble.
- 34:22Speaker 4: And I have respect for him because he was willing
- 34:26Speaker 4: to do this stuff that he, I assume knew, could
- 34:30Speaker 4: have known, was told.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Could go badly, right?
- 34:33Speaker 4: That we could get mired because we're dealing with people
- 34:37Speaker 4: that are not like Saddam Hussein, right? That we're dealing
- 34:41Speaker 4: with religious zealots who think that their God is going
- 34:46Speaker 4: to take good care of them for blowing up a
- 34:49Speaker 4: bunch of Jewish people and raping their women.
- 34:51Speaker 3: Well, and the other thing that I think the enemy
- 34:53Speaker 3: in this case, the people we're fighting relied on was
- 34:57Speaker 3: the political fallout of the decision causing our leadership to
- 35:01Speaker 3: never go ahead and do it because it is having
- 35:04Speaker 3: a negative political impact. There is a chance that this
- 35:07Speaker 3: war will cause you know, certain primary race or certain,
- 35:10Speaker 3: excuse me, midterm races to go the way you don't
- 35:13Speaker 3: want them to go if you're Trump and everybody on
- 35:16Speaker 3: that side of the aisle. And he did it anyway.
- 35:18Speaker 3: And I have a certain level of respect for that
- 35:21Speaker 3: because I do think that they knew that was going
- 35:23Speaker 3: to happen, that they knew there was going to be
- 35:25Speaker 3: political fallout and that it could last months and it
- 35:28Speaker 3: could be bad. And every other politician before Trump shied
- 35:32Speaker 3: away from it for a reason that probably had nothing
- 35:34Speaker 3: to do with if we should or shouldn't, but if
- 35:37Speaker 3: it would hurt us politically. And Trump didn't care. So
- 35:40Speaker 3: that is something I definitely admire, even though I wish
- 35:43Speaker 3: it was already over. I wish the fight was already over.
- 35:45Speaker 3: I wish the Iranians would give in the way that
- 35:47Speaker 3: they're supposed to give in.
- 35:48Speaker 4: It would have been over if I had been running.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Sure.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Yeah, because you would have carpet bombed the whole thing.
- 35:53Speaker 1: That's right. Right.
- 35:54Speaker 3: And then it would be over. But nonetheless, I just
- 35:57Speaker 3: think that they're still relying on the political pressure to
- 36:01Speaker 3: be what makes us give in. And waiting through the
- 36:04Speaker 3: midterm is essential to proving that won't happen. It sucks
- 36:08Speaker 3: that it winds up being that way, but I think
- 36:10Speaker 3: Iran will count on Trump backing down now, October, November,
- 36:15Speaker 3: and when he doesn't, December, we might get the actual
- 36:18Speaker 3: deal we want.
- 36:19Speaker 4: So I do have a request for the president. I
- 36:22Speaker 4: would like him on the morning after the election to
- 36:27Speaker 4: commence bombing. I want him, I want the Iranians to
- 36:31Speaker 4: learn that even if we lose the House and the Senate,
- 36:37Speaker 4: that he's still the president and can still send our
- 36:42Speaker 4: guys to kick the crap.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I would take Carg Island the next morning and say, okay,
- 36:48Speaker 1: let's chat again. Let me see how this is going
- 36:51Speaker 1: to work out.
- 36:51Speaker 4: I will say a lot of reports, the media is
- 36:54Speaker 4: starting to reluctantly admit that Iran is losing its chokehold
- 37:00Speaker 4: on the Strait of Hormuz and that We're actually– and
- 37:03Speaker 4: you can look it up on your little Google thing
- 37:05Speaker 4: there because I can't Google.
- 37:07Speaker 3: I can Google, sure.
- 37:09Speaker 4: And it will tell you that we are getting out
- 37:12Speaker 4: pretty close now to pre-war levels.
- 37:17Speaker 3: For the actual oil that's being shipped.
- 37:18Speaker 1: The oil that's coming out.
- 37:20Speaker 4: But if that's true, then why is the price of
- 37:25Speaker 4: oil staying so artificially high?
- 37:28Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 37:29Speaker 4: If the oil companies are getting their oil out, they're
- 37:33Speaker 4: obviously making a crap ton of money because they're charging more.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Of course they are.
- 37:38Speaker 4: Right?
- 37:38Speaker 3: Well, and so to give you the fact that you
- 37:40Speaker 3: just asked me to Google, according to the New York Post,
- 37:42Speaker 3: we are at 80% of the Persian Gulf oil exports
- 37:46Speaker 3: that we were at before the war. They are currently
- 37:48Speaker 3: now exporting 80% of what that was. So we are
- 37:52Speaker 3: relatively close to 100.
- 37:53Speaker 4: Which means, in layman's terms, for our non-KSEV listeners, because
- 37:59Speaker 4: our folks are smart, they know that that means Iran
- 38:05Speaker 4: is losing its only, to use a phrase, Trump card.
- 38:10Speaker 4: That this was their card. It's starting to go against them.
- 38:15Speaker 4: And so I would tell these people nicely, you are
- 38:18Speaker 4: in no position to give us the rules. of the
- 38:23Speaker 4: way this is going to play out. And I saw
- 38:25Speaker 4: the media was all covering, Trump turned down Iranians' latest
- 38:30Speaker 4: nice proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz, right? Give
- 38:35Speaker 4: us all the money, get rid of the blockade, all
- 38:39Speaker 4: the stuff, all the wish list of Iranian stuff. And
- 38:43Speaker 4: yet the headline is, Trump says no, rather than Iranians
- 38:49Speaker 4: are smoking crack.
- 38:51Speaker 1: That's what it should have been.
- 38:52Speaker 3: Of course it is, yes. And, of course, this is
- 38:55Speaker 3: all designed, again, to create political pressure that makes us
- 38:57Speaker 3: give in to a power that is much weaker than us.
- 39:00Speaker 3: It's the only thing they have left other than trying
- 39:03Speaker 3: to shut down the Strait of Hormuz is that, as
- 39:05Speaker 3: you said, is opening back up. The only other thing
- 39:07Speaker 3: they have is a political gamesmanship and trying to wield
- 39:11Speaker 3: politics in our country for their benefit.
- 39:14Speaker 1: All right, Mr. New York Yankee Hat, you quoted the
- 39:17Speaker 1: New York Post. I did.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Are there other news organizations? I'm being serious when I
- 39:25Speaker 4: ask this question because I think it does matter. Has
- 39:30Speaker 4: CNN reported that we're now getting 80% compared to like 5%,
- 39:37Speaker 4: which we got a couple.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Of months ago?
- 39:39Speaker 4: Does anyone report that? Because you and I talking about it,
- 39:43Speaker 4: even though we have millions of viewers here, we're talking
- 39:47Speaker 4: about it. But if 95% of the people don't see
- 39:52Speaker 4: it on their TikTok, and there's not some ad or
- 39:57Speaker 4: some 30-second thing, because, you know, they're short attention span people,
- 40:01Speaker 4: if there's not something that tells them that, do you know?
- 40:05Speaker 1: You know why?
- 40:06Speaker 4: Because it'll make some people, and this is when I
- 40:09Speaker 4: sort of shed a little bit of my conservative.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Armor, when I say, well, wait a second.
- 40:15Speaker 4: If they're getting 80% of the oil out, then why
- 40:19Speaker 4: aren't prices coming down? Why are the oil companies saying, hey,
- 40:24Speaker 4: we're making crap tons of money.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Which they are?
- 40:26Speaker 3: So to answer your question, no, CNN has not reported
- 40:29Speaker 3: on this. A month ago, they had a very different
- 40:32Speaker 3: report about how everyone's confused about how much oil is
- 40:35Speaker 3: even getting through the Strait of Hormuz, saying it could
- 40:37Speaker 3: be any number at all. And then CNN a few
- 40:40Speaker 3: weeks ago seemed to have several reports about how Trump
- 40:44Speaker 3: might use a sledgehammer to attack gas prices. and attack
- 40:48Speaker 3: iran again and none of it was actually about the
- 40:51Speaker 3: reality that eighty percent of exports uh... you were now
- 40:55Speaker 3: hitting eighty percent of the export we're getting before the
- 40:57Speaker 3: war you know.
- 40:58Speaker 4: They played a good hand here is i'll give credit
- 41:01Speaker 4: and they're crazy sure they said hey let's go dot
- 41:03Speaker 4: com twelve or one whatever it is right now they
- 41:05Speaker 4: did it but once that runs out what other leverage
- 41:11Speaker 4: of that why they can shoot off a couple of
- 41:13Speaker 4: missiles and and blow up a plant like the saudi
- 41:16Speaker 4: is your suffering like there was some money trouble over
- 41:19Speaker 4: there in Qatar. I don't really understand why they're being
- 41:24Speaker 4: such wimps. Look, I don't want to see our bases
- 41:26Speaker 4: getting blown up. I don't like war. I don't like
- 41:29Speaker 4: seeing kids getting killed.
- 41:31Speaker 1: It's horrible. I have kids. I have grandkids. I get it.
- 41:35Speaker 16: Amen.
- 41:35Speaker 3: I agree.
- 41:38Speaker 1: But it's time to end this.
- 41:42Speaker 4: Just like it's time for the Israelis to end this
- 41:45Speaker 4: Hamas thing.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Palestinian peak. Yeah. Oh, we've been here for thousands of years.
- 41:52Speaker 3: The argument some people would make is by doing a
- 41:54Speaker 3: fight stronger at the beginning, you limit it for lasting
- 41:57Speaker 3: longer in which you could still lose a lot of
- 41:59Speaker 3: civilian people. We've got to take another break.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Some people would say that?
- 42:02Speaker 3: I would say that. Smart people would say that. Sometimes
- 42:06Speaker 3: the quicker fight actually limits the casualties, even if you
- 42:08Speaker 3: have more at the beginning. Quick fight, quick break, a
- 42:11Speaker 3: lot more KSCV 700 AM, The Voice of Texas.
- 42:25Speaker 17: What kind of home do you live in?
- 42:27Speaker 1: We live in a two-bedroom high-rise condo.
- 42:29Speaker 5: A three-bedroom family home in the suburbs.
- 42:32Speaker 14: A farmhouse on our family ranch passed down through generations.
- 42:37Speaker 17: It doesn't matter where you live or what kind of
- 42:40Speaker 17: home you have. You all have one thing in common.
- 42:43Speaker 17: Gina Hinojosa voted to increase your property taxes. Not once,
- 42:47Speaker 17: not twice, but 40 different times Gina Hinojosa voted to
- 42:52Speaker 17: raise your property taxes. If she has her way, you'll
- 42:55Speaker 17: be priced out of your own home. Gina Hinojosa is
- 42:59Speaker 17: too radical to be governor of Texas. Luckily, Governor Greg
- 43:03Speaker 17: Abbott has a better plan.
- 43:05Speaker 16: We have to stop the insanity and instead give you
- 43:10Speaker 16: a different property tax relief that will do more than
- 43:13Speaker 16: cut your property tax bill in half forever. You're going
- 43:16Speaker 16: to be able to live in your home for the
- 43:18Speaker 16: rest of your lives without being priced out of it.

- 44:33Speaker 11: Hi, this is Michael Miller. Join me this weekend for
- 44:36Speaker 11: the Backyard Bay Radio Program. Now at our new time,
- 44:40Speaker 11: Saturday mornings at 9 a.m., right here on AM 700 KSEV,
- 44:45Speaker 11: The Voice.
- 44:57Speaker 3: KSEV, 700 AM, The Voice of Texas. Wayne does like
- 45:00Speaker 3: it when he can hear the music. I see that
- 45:02Speaker 3: happening there. He is Wayne Dolcefino. I am Craig Colonese.
- 45:05Speaker 3: We are your hosts of the KSEV Morning Show.
- 45:08Speaker 1: And that is Don Corleone.
- 45:10Speaker 3: And that's Don Corleone. I'm going to bring my pop
- 45:13Speaker 3: figurine in, which you have one, too, in the back.
- 45:15Speaker 3: I've got one.
- 45:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:17Speaker 3: I'm bringing mine, so we both have a Don Corleone
- 45:19Speaker 3: when we do the show.
- 45:22Speaker 1: You should spend $ 20 and get a picture. Okay.
- 45:25Speaker 3: I can do that.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Replace that AM700 KSV thing. We don't need that. We
- 45:28Speaker 1: don't need that.
- 45:30Speaker 3: Should I do something else, though? I don't need to
- 45:32Speaker 3: have somebody, the consigliere, whispering to Fido Corleone, that's you.
- 45:36Speaker 3: I should do a different scene from The Godfather.
- 45:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the one with Barzini shot on the steps.
- 45:42Speaker 1: By a New York cop.
- 45:43Speaker 3: Okay, I'll do that.
- 45:44Speaker 1: You could get me like a cop.
- 45:46Speaker 4: Shooting Barzini or shooting a guy, Mo Green.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Remember Mo Green in the eye?
- 45:52Speaker 3: I can't see why KSCV would have a problem with that.
- 45:54Speaker 3: Why would that happen?
- 45:56Speaker 4: I believe that should be showed to every person. And look,
- 46:01Speaker 4: I also believe going back to our conversation about the
- 46:05Speaker 4: Jewish folks, that I believe the president should have a
- 46:10Speaker 4: showing at the White House of the October 7th movies.
- 46:15Speaker 4: The movies that the Israelis made. And look, I know
- 46:18Speaker 4: it's horrible.
- 46:18Speaker 3: No, you're probably right.
- 46:21Speaker 4: But I think we ought to... That's what we ought
- 46:24Speaker 4: to draw attention to.
- 46:25Speaker 7: Sure.
- 46:25Speaker 4: That it is time for us to reject these freak shows...
- 46:32Speaker 4: who finds some moral equivalency to us calling in advance
- 46:38Speaker 4: to Gaza and saying, evacuate this neighborhood because we're getting
- 46:43Speaker 4: ready to bomb it. Boy, that is classic genocide.
- 46:47Speaker 5: Yes.
- 46:47Speaker 1: Isn't that right?
- 46:48Speaker 11: It is.
- 46:49Speaker 3: It's classic genocide. That's what they do all the time.
- 46:52Speaker 3: They try to save lives in the process of- Get.
- 46:56Speaker 1: The hell out. We're getting ready to shoot a missile.
- 46:59Speaker 3: I do think you're touching on another thing that I
- 47:02Speaker 3: very much believe. There are a lot of, and in
- 47:05Speaker 3: this I don't mean to pick on them, there's just
- 47:07Speaker 3: a lot of younger people that do these things, that
- 47:09Speaker 3: have these strong opinions and then refuse to actually see
- 47:12Speaker 3: the tough thing. Like if you made people sit through
- 47:14Speaker 3: those movies you're talking about that Israel created that showed
- 47:19Speaker 3: the horrors of the attacks that happened to them, they
- 47:22Speaker 3: wouldn't want to watch it. And yet they do want
- 47:24Speaker 3: to keep their strong opinion in which they think Israel's
- 47:27Speaker 3: bad and somebody else is being persecuted without seeing the
- 47:31Speaker 3: definitive video proof that something bad happened to them.
- 47:35Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like one or two guys came across
- 47:37Speaker 4: the border one night and said, let's go kill some Jews.
- 47:39Speaker 4: It was like they killed, there was thousands of them
- 47:43Speaker 4: that came over.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Really? What are we doing?
- 47:45Speaker 3: They abducted people, they raped people, they killed people. And
- 47:48Speaker 3: as I said, one of the most graphic descriptions of
- 47:50Speaker 3: the violence is, that did become pretty prominent just after it,
- 47:54Speaker 3: was that one infant child was killed in an oven.
- 47:59Speaker 3: These are the kinds of people that are now being
- 48:01Speaker 3: defended on that side.
- 48:02Speaker 4: And that's the side that those folks are on.
- 48:06Speaker 3: It's crazy.
- 48:07Speaker 1: And I don't know how you get there.
- 48:09Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 48:10Speaker 4: I don't know how you say, well, it was just
- 48:12Speaker 4: one guy got carried away, right?
- 48:15Speaker 1: The other ones weren't so bad. We only burned one.
- 48:17Speaker 3: Well, and to make a point that our listeners did make,
- 48:20Speaker 3: that Joe, the caller that we talked about a few times,
- 48:22Speaker 3: did make, is this has been going on for a
- 48:23Speaker 3: very long time. And I've made this point to friends
- 48:26Speaker 3: of mine. Israel has had several opportunities during this ongoing
- 48:30Speaker 3: conflict to wipe out the people that live in Gaza,
- 48:34Speaker 3: and they've continued to not do it. And Bill Maher
- 48:36Speaker 3: said it, too, in the audio we played earlier. They've
- 48:39Speaker 3: definitively won several of these fights in which it could
- 48:43Speaker 3: be over, and it's not. And that is a testament to...
- 48:47Speaker 3: to the compassion that exists within that fight.
- 48:50Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say one thing that I'm not a
- 48:52Speaker 4: big fan of, and I've told you this, is this.
- 48:54Speaker 1: Whole, you know, the Jews.
- 48:57Speaker 4: Are all going to burn in hell because they're not Christians.
- 49:00Speaker 4: And I understand, I understand the beliefs of people and
- 49:07Speaker 4: the Christians, I do. But I don't know, maybe I
- 49:11Speaker 4: don't know them, but I don't know too many Jews
- 49:13Speaker 4: who go around saying, you know what, you Christians, you
- 49:17Speaker 4: screwed up.
- 49:18Speaker 3: I do not know any either. Did I ever tell
- 49:22Speaker 3: you one of my first jobs in Chicago when I
- 49:23Speaker 3: was going to school and then also working in radio? No,
- 49:27Speaker 3: I worked at the Kosher Clipper. It was a insert
- 49:30Speaker 3: in the World Jewish Digest. I went for an interview
- 49:33Speaker 3: at like this little spot. It's the craziest thing. I
- 49:35Speaker 3: went for an interview and the guys asked me if
- 49:37Speaker 3: I ever done sales before. I'm like, no. He's like,
- 49:39Speaker 3: you have any experience at all? I'm like, none that
- 49:40Speaker 3: you need. And he goes, last question. I know it's awkward,
- 49:43Speaker 3: but I'm going to ask it even though I'm not allowed.
- 49:45Speaker 3: Are you Jewish? And I said, I'm also not. He goes,
- 49:47Speaker 3: you got every question wrong. We're still going to hire you.
- 49:50Speaker 3: And they gave me a job. And for like four
- 49:52Speaker 3: or five months, I called people. And every time I
- 49:55Speaker 3: talked to a Jewish business owner about the World Jewish Digest,
- 49:58Speaker 3: inserts like in that magazine, the boss would be behind me,
- 50:02Speaker 3: like trying to interpret the holiday that they were talking about.
- 50:05Speaker 3: He tried to help me be fake Jewish because he
- 50:07Speaker 3: thought it would help them sell stuff. And I'm like,
- 50:09Speaker 3: I don't think this is right, but you're Jewish and
- 50:11Speaker 3: you're telling me to do it. And all right, I'll
- 50:13Speaker 3: I'll say that I know the holiday.
- 50:15Speaker 1: I thought the kosher clipper was a restaurant.
- 50:19Speaker 3: No, it was an insert in the World Jewish Digest.
- 50:22Speaker 3: One of my first jobs.
- 50:24Speaker 1: Is the World Jewish Digest still around?
- 50:26Speaker 3: I have no idea. I haven't looked into it.
- 50:27Speaker 4: Well, you ought to look it up. You ought to
- 50:30Speaker 4: celebrate your anniversary.
- 50:31Speaker 3: Well, I didn't work for them. Or did you go out.
- 50:34Speaker 1: Of business shortly after you arrived?
- 50:37Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Well, again, I didn't work for the paper.
- 50:39Speaker 1: Because of lack of advertising.
- 50:40Speaker 3: I didn't work for the paper. I worked for an
- 50:42Speaker 3: insert that was inside the paper. That's who I worked for.
- 50:45Speaker 1: How did you know the people were Jewish? Did they
- 50:47Speaker 1: have like a list?
- 50:48Speaker 3: No, I saw a job opening on Craigslist or something.
- 50:51Speaker 10: No, no, no.
- 50:52Speaker 3: Showed up at it, and they told me they were
- 50:54Speaker 3: Jewish there. They said, yeah.
- 50:56Speaker 1: I'm not talking about those guys.
- 50:57Speaker 3: Oh, the people we were calling?
- 50:58Speaker 1: Yeah, the business, but did you just look at names?
- 51:00Speaker 3: They gave me a list of what they described as
- 51:03Speaker 3: Jewish business owners who were likely to advertise in a
- 51:06Speaker 3: Jewish magazine.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Okay, that seems logical.
- 51:09Speaker 3: So I just accepted it from the bottom. I don't know.
- 51:11Speaker 3: Maybe they weren't. But any time I called on a
- 51:14Speaker 3: specific holiday and they said they were celebrating it, My
- 51:16Speaker 3: boss told me to say that we were celebrating it too,
- 51:19Speaker 3: like our whole office, even though I was not.
- 51:22Speaker 4: I just, and again, I get frustrated, and I don't
- 51:26Speaker 4: understand how we got here.
- 51:28Speaker 1: I don't understand how in.
- 51:30Speaker 4: A couple years we, because like I talked to my daughter,
- 51:34Speaker 4: and I'm not picking on my daughter. I mean, she's
- 51:36Speaker 4: a TikToker. She streams. She plays video games, and people
- 51:42Speaker 4: actually pay her money to play.
- 51:44Speaker 1: Don't ask me. Play video games.
- 51:47Speaker 4: But I don't understand that that's all they seem to see.
- 51:52Speaker 12: I know.
- 51:53Speaker 4: It's like they've discovered media.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Get out of my office. Who is that? Some homeless guy.
- 52:00Speaker 4: You know, over here on Richmond Avenue, we have a
- 52:03Speaker 4: lot of homeless.
- 52:04Speaker 3: They just wander into your office.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Almost every morning when I come here, there is someone
- 52:08Speaker 4: literally laying within about 400 feet of my office building.
- 52:12Speaker 3: That's fun.
- 52:13Speaker 1: They're sleeping. That's nice. That's nice. I got distracted.
- 52:16Speaker 4: But I don't understand that they don't see, like, the
- 52:22Speaker 4: other side at all. It's like those Hamas guys and
- 52:26Speaker 4: those Iranian guys figured out the media thing, and we
- 52:29Speaker 4: just can't, even though we're a world smarter.
- 52:32Speaker 7: Yes.
- 52:33Speaker 3: Well, that's it. That's the whole show. Wayne Dolcefino, Craig Colonese.
- 52:38Speaker 3: We did two hours. I'm going to stop by for
- 52:40Speaker 3: real today and fix some things in your studio.
- 52:43Speaker 1: I'm leaving. Hey, Teresa, Craig's coming over.
- 52:45Speaker 4: I'm leaving.
- 52:46Speaker 3: Wayne's getting out of there. KSEV, the voice of Texas.
- 52:50Speaker 3: Talk to you guys tomorrow.
