  Speaker 2: No, it's crazy.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the Thunderdome, people.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: News, opinions, politics, and the stories that matter to Texans.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I shaved for this?
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Here are your hosts, Craig Collins and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Remember, everyone, just don't be yourselves.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: On KSEV AM 700, The Voice of Texas.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Yes!
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: That's awesome!

  Speaker 4: Thunderdome!
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: Thunderdome!
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: And now, Craig Collins and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: This is... Why is that? Why am I hearing a
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: lot of stuff in a lot of places that I
• 0:54
  Speaker 7: don't want to hear it? Okay, I just closed that.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: That'll work.
• 0:57
  Speaker 8: This is KSCV Radio and the Morning Show. My name
• 1:01
  Speaker 8: is Craig Collins. He is Wayne Dolcefino. We are trying
• 1:04
  Speaker 8: to make it fancier for Wayne. And in the process,
• 1:08
  Speaker 8: sometimes you break stuff.
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: I might have.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: I don't think you're actually coming through the right spot yet.
• 1:14
  Speaker 8: So we're going to have to make sure that you're
• 1:16
  Speaker 8: coming through the right spot. And I don't hear anything
• 1:18
  Speaker 8: in these headphones I put on, which is not great.
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: But all right.
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: Let's see here if this is, in fact, a problem.
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: And then we should be good to go. Wayne, how
• 1:28
  Speaker 8: are you doing?
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I'm here. How are you?
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: You are, and you're on the correct spot now. I'm great.
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: I wanted to feed you programming.
• 1:36
  Speaker 8: I'll just tell people on the air, like, we have
• 1:38
  Speaker 8: a very old soundboard, and I'm not allowed to do
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: certain things with the soundboard. We need the engineer to
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: do them, and so we're trying to figure out, with
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: the engineer on vacation, how to send you some audio
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: that we probably should just wait until he comes back
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: to send you.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what else you could do? Okay,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: move toward the middle of the screen, because right now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I see a blank. A blank. I see that ugly
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: orange peach room. There you go. There we go.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: Is this better?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah. I mean, I have to look at you now,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: but other than that, it's fine.
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: How are you doing this morning, buddy?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: You know what? A little tired. I was in the
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: city of Manville last night at a city council meeting,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and I was sitting there thinking to myself, I've been
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: A journalist for 50 years, and I'm in a Manville
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: City Council.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Meeting at this.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Stage in my life. But it was quite interesting. We
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: had one of those flock camera public hearings, and I
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: think Willis was one of the cities yesterday. Manville yesterday
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: all voted to get rid of these flock cameras. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I know I'm probably in the minority, but I still
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: don't really get it. Yeah. I just don't. Look, I
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: get there are people that have abused that stuff, but,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you know, the first time somebody whacks somebody and then
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: they say, well, let's just go look at the cameras
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to see if we can get a good image of
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the guy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: They're going to go, gosh darn, we got rid of
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: those flock cameras so we can't catch the killer. Yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Because someone was offended that, you know, the government's spying
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: on them. I just don't.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: This is one thing I wanted to say about flock cameras.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: We all are one.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: Like the funny thing about if stuff happens in the
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: world we live in today, every human being pulls out
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: their camera on their phone and clicks record. So the
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: idea that the flock camera itself is some sort of
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: larger invasion of privacy than the fact that we're all
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: a walking around camera already is kind of amusing to me.
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: And I say that being someone that doesn't totally like
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: the idea of flock cameras because of how they're being misused.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: If you saw those stories, there was so little training
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: when they were rolled out to a lot of police
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: offices that some guys just started stalking their ex-girlfriends via
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: flock cameras. That's not great. We don't want that. We
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: want a whole lot less of that. But the invasion
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: of privacy thing in public, I think that ended with
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: the cell phone.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I'm just not that impressed. Look, I want
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: cameras in courtrooms.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm okay with more cameras in more places. Sure.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I think it's insane that I can go into a
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: public courtroom with my two eyes and record in my
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: brain what I see in front of me, but then
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: not allowed to transmit that image to other people. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: think it should be required that there be cameras in
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the courtroom.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: That would be awesome.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And that they all be available. over like the internet,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: just like we're doing here. Let's just, let's see the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: judges who go into these little sidebars and make these
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: obnoxious comments that then don't go show up on transcripts.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I want everything said in open court to be open.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So I'm for more cameras, not less. You could put
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a flock, a flick, a fleck, call it whatever you want.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Anything you like. And I just think people, are just
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: getting all riled up when 97% of them aren't doing
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a thing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: No, I think you're right.
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of people that get riled up that
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: actually aren't involved in most of the things that make
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: them mad. There are people who scream and yell about
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: LGBTQ rights. They're just like a straight person in a
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: straight relationship. And I don't know why you're so passionate
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: about that. I have other questions sometimes about Tallarico when
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: he yells about some certain things. But nonetheless, I think
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: a lot of people just like performative, emotional, social media
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: types of reactions to things and don't actually really care
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: what the end result is.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Well, that's true. Look, by the way, I don't know
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: if you've heard any of it, but I saw a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: story last night on the commie convention they just had.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, in Chicago?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. Those people are– You know, when I
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: see those people, I reassure myself that I am in
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: a completely different planet.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Than those people.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: The Democratic Socialists of America had a thing in Chicago,
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: for anyone that doesn't know about this, Wayne is talking
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: about it, that it was surreal to watch even some
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: of the talking points. I think there was one about
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: trying to abolish everything, essentially.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: There's another one about decolonization.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: There was a speech about decolonization that happened in Chicago
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: in the United States.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: It is strange.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Well, it's just a freak show. Look, I'm sorry. If
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you want to have 85 different hair colors, God bless you.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I can barely grow hair anymore, so I'm not that guy.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: But I just find... these people insane. And I continue
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: to try to pitch myself to say, is it really
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: possible that the majority of people in this country say, yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: that's a good idea. Let's do that stuff.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: I don't know. I have no idea.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: There are enough people to attend the event in Chicago.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: And I know that sometimes I hear that people get
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: paid to do that kind of stuff. I don't know
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: if that's true. But I do think there are a
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: lot of 20-somethings out there who don't understand history at all,
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: that don't understand a large majority of the problems with
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: communism and socialism that are a fan of it right
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: now because they're all about themselves and they're told all
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: the time that things are unfair and the best way
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: to make them fair is to force other people to
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: give you stuff. That seems to be the approach. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: think that's the thing they're most passionate about. But if
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: you watch these Democratic Socialists of America in these videos,
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: and they're all 20-somethings, they say a lot of other
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: crazy stuff.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Abolish the Senate. Abolish the House. Just abolish away.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, I'm fine with abolishing government as a
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: general principle. I mean, I think there's a lot of
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: stuff government does that we could abolish tomorrow.
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Department of Education. I also, I don't know if you've
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: seen some of Lena Hidalgo's recent videos. Lena was on
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the podcast. By the way, I may not look like Mr.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Happy this morning, but Lena Hidalgo looks literally, and I
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: don't want to be insensitive to mental health, so I
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: know I'll get in trouble. I'm sure someone will.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: Don't apologize. Don't apologize for that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. All right. Well, the hell with it. I'm
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: not going to apologize. She really looks like she's totally crazy.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, she gets on those things. First of all,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: she looks really depressed. It's almost you want to say, hey, Lena,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: cheer up. She gets up and she goes, oh, I
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: really think I would have spent money. I did hear
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: something she said, though, that I was curious if you saw,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: which was that there are constables making $ 300, 000 a year.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I think $ 305, 000. And I love constables. Well, some of them.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't like all of them. Some of them.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: The guy that pulled me over the other day on
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: the freeway.
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: Not a fan of his, yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Not a fan of his. But I got to tell you,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think they deserve that much.
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: I don't think a lot of people that work for
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: government in any capacity deserve $ 300, 000.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: I think that's too much. Of course.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. county where we think it's okay to pay the
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: toll road guy $ 450, 000 a year for an automated toll
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: road system that he doesn't have to turn on every morning. Right.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I was just in the wrong
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: business all my life. And that's a lot of money.
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: It's a lot of money. It's an insane amount of money.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: It's a ridiculous amount of money. I don't know what
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: we do to fix that either because the problem is
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: they all vote for their raises. They're the ones voting
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: usually to give themselves more money. We need to fix
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: that problem.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I've got to tell you, I actually think it's one
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: of the biggest problems. In government, and I see it everywhere.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I was mentioning yesterday the city manager in Galveston. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: know how much the guys make up the city of
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Conroe government. I mean, I understand that they are fairly
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: significant enterprises. And I'm not trying to say that you
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: don't need talented people to run things. But I just
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: think we've just gone off the deep end. Yeah, we have.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: All right, we've got to take a break. We've got
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: to take a break.
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: A lot coming up. This is KSEV Mornings. He's Wayne Dolcefino.

  Speaker 1: For many years, the Pine Box has been helping families
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: gain insight into the often confusing and extremely expensive task
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of arranging a loved one's funeral. I have worked with
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Pine Box in the death of two family members because
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I know I can trust Chip Beresford.

  Speaker 7: At the Pine Box.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He's the owner. To be sure that he walks me
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: through that process and that I am prepared for the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: funeral and that I get the quality I seek without
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: breaking the budget. because it's a very difficult thing. No
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: one wants to feel like a cheapskate handling a funeral
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of a loved one, but you also can't afford to
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: go broke either. You know, funerals are statistically the third
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: largest expense in someone's life. The Pine Box sells the
• 13:27

• 13:45
  Speaker 9: When I hit my 50s, I felt like things were
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: slowing down.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: This is Sandra's Metamucil story.
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: I started taking Metamucil for digestion, but had no idea
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: it would impact so much more. Not only did Metamucil
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: help me feel more regular, but my heart health saw
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: the benefits too.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Metamucil, one simple routine, four health benefits.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: Digestive health starts here.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Go to metamucil.com for more details.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: It says you're up, but it didn't play there. So
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: that was weird. And now we're doing another thing. That's
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: our fault. But now I hear you. Wayne, I don't
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: know what happened.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: I heard you laugh.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: All I know is I want you to move over
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: a few inches so I can see you.
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: I know, I know, I know. But I'm handling things
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: to my left.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you need an extra person to help
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you in that studio.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: That wouldn't be so bad.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: But yeah, we were trying to point to you so
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: that you could do the intro because you're saying you
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: wanted to do intros.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Well, if you had pointed to me with the hand
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: that I could see, there you go. It's amazing how
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: that works. Hey, how do people watch us?
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: All over the place. We're on YouTube. We are on Facebook. Well, no,
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: we're not on Facebook.
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: We could be on Facebook, but we don't do that,
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: mostly because we don't like meta. Although I think you
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: told me your biggest audience is on Facebook.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: So we really should be there. We really should be there.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I have Dolce Fino Media, the corporation known as, has
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: like 124,000 followers on Facebook. And I think a lot
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: of people would watch us on Facebook.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: I'll fix that during the next break because we can
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: do it however we want. But we're on Rumble.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: We're on X. We're on YouTube.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: We're on our website, kscvradio.com. If you go to the
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: website right now, when we're live on YouTube, it'll pop up. Say,
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: watch Craig and Wayne right now.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 16:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: And we're also on the website. You don't have to
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: leave the website to watch YouTube or our app. We're
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: also visual on the app.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: It's amazing what's happened to radio.
• 16:15
  Speaker 12: It is.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: The newspapers now have video in their content. Radio stations
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: now have video. We're all just trying to figure out
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: a way to survive the ever-changing landscape of loons and
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: mental defectives that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: Well, the way I'll say this, and we can move
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: on to the Hidalgo stuff you mentioned or some Tallarico
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: stuff I have from the other day.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Why are you picking on him? Tallarico?
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, poor guy.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: Weird, terrible person.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: No, he's just horrid. I feel so bad for him.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: But I was going to say, as far as radio goes,
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: the share of the ear. Have you ever heard anybody
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: talk about that?
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: No.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: So the share of your ear has changed because of
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: digital media.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: The amount of your ear that is paying attention to
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: digital and not to traditional broadcasting, television or radio is much,
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: much higher. And the easy thing for us radio guys
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: is just put our stuff in the other place that
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: people are, because that's the thing people don't understand about this.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: Radio doesn't lose to digital. We can just be on digital.
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: And there are kids that will walk around thinking we're
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: a podcast and and not really knowing we're on the radio.
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: But they're still watching us. They're still hearing our commercials.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: So we don't care. As long as we get all
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: of our content, we're fine.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: What, are you trying to sell me?
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm trying to sell you.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Is there a salesman or something?
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, because you said that thing about how crazy
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: things have changed and how many different pieces we're now
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: trying to put out there as radio compared to before.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: It's because the share of the year changed. Some people
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: don't turn on the radio at all.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but one of the things I liked about radio
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: early on in my career is that you.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Could be naked.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: You could be naked.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: And that changed.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: As frightening of a thought as it is seeing us naked. No,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I was only mentioning a doggle because, you know, all
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: of a sudden she's like some fiscal conservative hawk. Yeah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Have you seen that? It's like we spent money we
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: didn't have. Really? Is that something you did? You spent
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: money you didn't have?
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: You at least one time decided not to spend money
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: that you didn't have? That would be great.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: Now, yeah, she's been claiming a lot of things that
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: are evidently untrue. And they were going viral on social
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: media like a week or so ago because she seems
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: to want to go out of here rewriting her whole narrative.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: So I have a suggestion for her because she was
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: looking for money to save. Sure. To pay cops. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I've done a number of reports on what's called the D.E.O.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: It's the diversity and equity department. We have an equity
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: department in the government. Right. In Harris County. And one
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: of the things they do is they monitor affirmative action. Right.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Which is one of the big rackets scams that there is. Yeah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: I think one of the ways we could save money
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: is to restrict affirmative action. That if once you're an
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Indian guy and you make $ 5 million in engineering contracts,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: you probably don't need any more government help anymore.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: Probably not.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Probably not. It's really fun sometimes to
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: look at all the people. You can go on Harris
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: County's site. You can see all the people there. that
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: get these subcontracts, right? These pieces of contracts. And then
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: you run their names, right? You know, Mishka, Mushka, Maka, Bala, Bala, Bala.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: You run their name, and then you see that they
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: live in Sugar Land in a $ 3. 4 million house, and
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: they're getting what's called disadvantaged business money because they're a
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: disadvantaged business, and the guy lives in a multimillion-dollar house.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: And I say... If you're a disadvantaged business, I want
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: to see that you're living in a shack behind an
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: RV park in a trailer home.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you don't sound very disadvantaged if you're doing a
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: great job and getting a ton of different contracts for
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: continuing to be disadvantaged. I think the getting of the
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: contracts fixes the disadvantaged part, right?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: That's the whole point. And I don't understand that people
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: don't look at that and say, wait a second. When
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: did all these Indian Pakistani folk become so disadvantaged? It
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: seems to me like they got a lot of the money.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, especially in Minneapolis and Minnesota. The Somalis are doing great,
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: even though they're probably disadvantaged.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: They're doing fine. I just, I don't understand it. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: really don't. There's so many things that we approve as
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: a government. And I don't make people the government because
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think most people even know what the hell
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: is going on.
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: That's the problem.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: The problem is that most people have no idea that
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: any of this is happening and we would try to
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: fight against it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: But people aren't informing themselves enough to do that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And we've talked about that a few times since
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: we've we've started hanging out together. And I got to
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: tell you, it's the flow of information. I went I
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: was like I said, I was in Manville last night,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the city council meeting. They were really excited to see
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: me there.
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: Sounds like it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And every TV station was there. Every single Houston TV
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: station sent a camera, and most of them sent reporters
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: to a public hearing on flock cameras because it's the
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: thing now, right? People want to hear about flock cameras.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: The amount of brainpower it takes to send a crew
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: to Manville To simply record people saying, I hate flock cameras,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: stop spying on me, right, as I walk around in
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: my underwear in front of my house. But everybody had
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: a reporter there for that. But it's not really what
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I call, like, complex journalism.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: Well, and it's not getting you anything new, right? Like,
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: they're sending you to the easiest thing to get the
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: easiest soundbite that everyone already knows exists. And so if
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: you watch the evening television, and I've been trying to
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: watch local news at night now. I've been trying to
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: do it even though I usually don't. And you just
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: see the clip of the guy being like, I hate
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: the flock camera. It is a very simple, cyclical world
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: that you're putting yourself in that's not actually getting the
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: real story, right?
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: Is that kind of the point you're making or no?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, it's like, I mean, I get it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: You covered a city council meeting, which you could have
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: gotten off like Zoom or something.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: And you could have just taken the sound bites. I mean,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of times, because I cover stuff in all
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: kinds of cities, I mean, I may watch a Corpus
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Christi city council meeting rather than go down to Corpus
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Christi and spend the money as much as I like
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: to go hang out, you know, off of Water Street
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: or something. But I can watch it. I just don't
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: know that you would take. Most TV stations have, like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: two crews at night, like two reporters, most of them.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: And so if you're going to send 50 percent of
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: your reporting staff to go cover a city council meeting
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: in Manville, not because people are going to run around
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: naked and be commies, but because, you know, you're going
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: to have two hours of people getting up there and saying,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I see those cameras looking at me. Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I just think is what a waste of people. Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: What a waste of resources, especially when they're finite. The
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: news organizations barely have any resources now anyway.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And then you wonder, then you hear about these great
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: stories going on, what I consider really good local stories
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: in the Houston area. And the management of those stations
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: don't want to cover it because it's too complicated. It
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: will take more than an hour or two. Covering flawed
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: cameras really requires a second grader to report it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: You're talking about a lot of the stuff that you do,
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: a lot of the stuff that you're reporting on that's
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: on your social media pages because you actually have to
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: tell a story.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I hear stories. Look, one of the unfortunate
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: realities of my business is because I have to pay people.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I actually have to find a way for people to
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: pay me to pay others. I know there's a lot
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: of people who comment on my stuff who seem to
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: object that I'm a capitalist and that I actually have
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: to pay people and that they expect me every two
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: weeks to just, out of my personal fortune, to pay
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: people $ 50, 000, right? They seem to be.
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: Upset They get that money every two weeks. I'll take
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: the 50 grand every two weeks. You hire me.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: How often do you get paid?
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: I get paid twice a month.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, so I pay people twice a month.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: No, I was being an idiot about the fact you
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: said 50,000 all at once.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: No, no, it's everyone together. But I've learned that you
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: have to pay people regardless of whether money comes in
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: or not.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: You do. Or they quit.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Look, you're going to hear me a lot on this
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: show provide some economic insights. Okay.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: As a business owner.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: As a business owner into how things work, right? And
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: what I've learned is that every other Friday, there's going
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: to be an announcement that my bank is going to
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: send out money to my company that pays people. And
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: if I don't have the money in the account, then
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: my payroll will bounce.
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's a weird economic thing. I'm not
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: going to say much more. Complicated.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: No one can understand this. Yeah, that's right.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: But I think a lot of people need a little
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: bit of assistance in understanding that even when TV stations
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: were powerful, they still required someone to advertise. So people
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: worry about influence. When the car dealers used to be
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the big advertisers in local TV... You don't think the
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: car dealers would call the GM and say, hey, I
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: hear your Dolce Vita guy is working on a story about,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: you know, speed up Chevys.
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: And I just want to remind you that if it
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: wasn't for us, you know.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: You'd be screwed.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: Keep it a little bit quieter there. Why not? Yeah.
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: I love that.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: No, you're right.
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: Money has always existed in the world of any kind
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: of media because people have to make money.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: Quick break. A lot coming up. KSCV mornings. Craig Collins.
• 26:58

• 27:43
  Speaker 5: find the cause of the leak and repair that leak.

• 27:48

• 29:54
  Speaker 4: The Voice of Texas.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: And now for the bonus round.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Who imposes property taxes? State government. Nice try, but no.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: Local governments.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Correct. And we have a winner.
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control property taxes.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: The state of Texas does not impose.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: A property tax.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: why your property taxes are going up is because local
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: got to do is to stop the spending that leads.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: To property tax increases.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: You should have a say on whether or not your
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: property taxes go up. It should be a vote that
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: requires two-thirds vote before any property tax increase can ever
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: be imposed on our fellow Texans. You're going to be
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: able to live in your home for the rest of
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: your lives without being priced out of it.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Protecting homeowners, lowering property taxes. That's Governor Greg Abbott.
• 30:53

• 31:27
  Speaker 10: with a high of 95. With the KSEV Weather Center forecast,
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: I'm AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's the morning show, the mob guys. Hey, look.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: AM 700 KSEV. Hey, look, that also worked.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: You got to do the intro and stuff. Look at that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you pointed at me with the right finger.
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm trying to move back and forth.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, folks don't know this, but before we started doing
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: this this morning, you said, look, I'll just point at
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: you and you could do the intro. And then you
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: pointed at me with a finger that I could not
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: see on the screen.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: Well, it was the wrong finger.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Can we get some wallpaper or something? Dude.
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: Well, we can ask Russell to dance occasionally. Just have
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: him get up and like swing his arms or something.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I would like to hear from the callers this morning
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: who are watching us and who can help me explain
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: to you why my side of the screen is professional,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: fairly ethnic, kind of a slur, right? A little bit
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: of a slur on the Italians. You know, people think
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: that we're all mob guys, right? That's what they think. Yeah. Right.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Every guy you meet, like Vinnie Bapadoo, he's a mob guy, right?
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: You know, I do have a Vito Corleone pop figurine.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: Do you know about the pops or no?
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know about pubs, but I have a Vito
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Corleone bobblehead.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's kind of in the same vein as bobbleheads.
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: They just don't bobble. It's a little dude that doesn't—
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: It's not a bobblehead. I know, but I think it's
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: popular because bobbleheads were, and it became the thing. It's
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: a collector's item, and I have one, and I was
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: thinking about bringing it in, the Vito Corleone, to just
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: sit behind me.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I could get you, like, a blowup. Like mob guy.
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: I don't think I want that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: With like a Tommy gun behind you.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: I don't think I want that. I don't think I
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: want to blow up.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: No Tommy guns?
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: No, the Tommy gun's fine. I don't want to blow
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: up mob guy. I don't want to have to explain
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: that to anybody.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, so talk to me about this convention. What's exactly
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: going to happen? Sure.
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: So Dan Patrick will be on the show in about
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: 25 minutes.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: Who? Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, I've heard of him.
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, will be on the show in about 25 minutes.
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: He will be talking about the opening day of the
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: midterm convention, which President Trump decided we were doing and
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: then decided we were doing here in Dallas, which, well, here.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: In Texas, which is kind of nice.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: It's unique in the fact that We don't do these
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: usually for midterms for anyone that pays attention. And hopefully
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: it creates a lot of enthusiasm. And I know that
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: you were asking me off the air before the show
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: when Ken Paxton speaks. He seems to be the last
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: speaker listed for tonight.
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: I'm waiting up for that. So we'll see what he says.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: Brandon Gill goes right before him.
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: You and I were both saying how much Brandon Gill
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: has become an actual you need to pay attention to
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: person in politics.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I think Brandon Gill is a winner. Yes. I really do.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: And not just because of his politics. I actually think
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: he's a guy that talks exactly like some sarcastic wee-wee
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: like me thinks. And by the way, I don't know
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: if I should share with the audience. You sent me
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: this morning a list of the questions I'm allowed to ask.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: I didn't send that. Is that a joke?
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: No.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Do you want me to lean in here?
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: I'll pretend. I didn't send you that.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: I got it from a guy named, what's your name?
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: My name is Craig.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Craig Collins. And there was a list, folks. Look,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not lying. There was a list because apparently everyone's
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: concerned that I'm going to ask the wrong question. So
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: you sent me a list this morning. Like, I was
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: allowed to ask Dan.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: Like, what's he wearing? I genuinely have no idea what
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: you're talking about.
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: Part of me, because this is improv comedy-style radio, wants
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: to yes-end you, but what are you talking about?
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. I'm just totally....
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: You're just making stuff up. Well, they're going to think that.
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: Somebody out there is going to be like, Craig Collins
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: is trying to silence Wayne Dolcefino.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: No, no. In fact, you guys all... Dan called me,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: begged yesterday, please, please don't ask me those questions. And
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: I said, you know what? I'm not really, I'm not
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: really feeling it. No, look, I think it's really, all
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: kidding aside, this is a chance, yet another chance, to
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: send a cohesive message about the things that the Trump administration,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: the Republican Party, Republican governors, You don't just elect a president.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: You elect people to Congress. A little civics lesson here.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: You elect people to all kinds of jobs. You do.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: And it's why when you go vote for judges, you
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: want Republican criminal judges because Republican criminal judges, like the
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: old hanging judge Ted Poe, are going to make people
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: pay for their crimes. It's called accountabilities. So you look
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: at tough criminal judges, right? If you want lawyers to
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: run amok, and I say this as someone who has
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: a son that's a personal injury lawyer, right? But I
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: think you can sue people for just about anything, and
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: I think some of it's a shakedown, and I think
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: we should put controls on that. I think if you
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: sue and you lose, I'm cool with you paying for it.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: If you want to Take the risk. Look, and I
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: say this as someone who gets sued a lot. By
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: the way, I have to leave the show early. After
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: we talked to the lieutenant governor, I've got to leave
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: because I've got to go to Conroe where there is
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: a weasel lawyer named Randy Bays who's today trying to
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: get a gag order against me because he thinks that
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I'm actually going to listen to a judge up there
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: tell me what I can and cannot do.
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: And.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: And I'm always amused.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: When they try that, that.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: Someone who went to law school and presumably passed. Right.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: And and filed all kinds of nasty motions about me.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: I get called a lot of names. You know, I'm
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: a media terrorist. Yes. Right. I've heard I'm a pay
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: to play guy. You're the pay to play guy.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: I have.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know what that means. Does that mean that.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: I don't work unless you pay me?
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: I think if you want me to actually explain, because
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: I think we had talked about this on a previous show.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: I have a buddy who is a radio guy in McAllen,
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: and he's a huge fan of you.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: He said that he loved you.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Smart guy.
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: He loved you on television for years and stuff, and
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: he was so impressed that you were going to be
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: the co-host of the show with me. And his only
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: criticism is that you get paid for what you do now.
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: He's like, I just don't know if that means that
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: he actually investigates whatever he wants or if he investigates...
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: what people tell them to investigate.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: It means both. Okay.
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Can I investigate anything I want? Sure. Do I do
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff that I don't get paid for? Absolutely.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Do I do stories on old cases where I'm no
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: longer getting paid, but feel an obligation to keep up
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: with people? Yeah.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I was hired to do a story, an investigation in
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: the city of Crockett. And we asked for some records
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: from some council member and you know he was a
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: weasel and hid in his house and he gave me
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: his records and so I filed a criminal complaint and
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: lo and behold the district attorney there actually followed the
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: law right I filed complaints criminal complaints all the time
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: in Corpus Christi I filed complaints With the Nueces County
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: District Attorney. I don't even know the guy's name. I've
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: never talked to him, right? I think he's dead. I
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: think he's been dead for several months.
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you killed him.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: He's not actually at the office.
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Because he's never called me back. And when people don't
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: call me back, I assume it's because they died. Sure. Right?
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: And they just, you know.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: There must be a lot of dead people who do
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: not call you back then.
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: Because I assume there's a lot of people that don't
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: return a Wayne Dolcefino phone call.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: There are. Yeah.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: There's a lot of dead people.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: And I kind of actually enjoy now when I call
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: over to a place and say, tell Mr. Baba Galush
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: that it's Wayne Dolcefino calling. And he has until Tuesday
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: at 5 p.m. to call me back. I always do that.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: I'm a deadline guy. Yeah.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I think you don't call me by Tuesday at five o'clock.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: You're dead to me.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Don't call me Wednesday morning. It's too late.
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: I'm going to show up. I'm going to I'm going
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: to beg or demand more information. Real quick, I want
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: to say this and then we should probably take a break.
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: Getting back to the convention with the lieutenant governor coming
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: up in just a little bit.
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: And you you made a joke about it off air.
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: And it's true.
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: The president will be speaking both nights. I don't know
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: if he'll be speaking at the beginning or the end tonight,
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: but he's supposed to.
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: Make an appearance. And then I think he and the middle,
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: I think he is closing it tomorrow night.
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: And the reason that I think that that's interesting is
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: there are people on the conservative side of the aisle who.
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: that want this to be a referendum of President Trump
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: specifically because they believe, and I'm in this camp, that
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: there are a lot of successes by this administration that
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: aren't being talked about, that aren't being focused on. And
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: if you actually hone in on Trump, the president, and
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: maybe not just Trump, the political leader, slash, you know,
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: social media person who says a crazy thing or two,
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: but the effectiveness.
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: Or two?
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: He's a troll.
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: Look, he's trolling.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: He trolls people all the time.
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: But the effectiveness of the actual administration in the first
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: two years... is a good thing.
• 41:43
  Speaker 8: Outside of the war in Iran causing prices to go up,
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: there have been a lot of successes. And so I
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: think that there's an interesting component to focusing on the
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: job being done by the president more so than the
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: way that he carries himself. And I don't know that
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: him speaking twice gets you there, but I do think
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: that a referendum on the Trump administration could benefit conservatives
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: if it's done correctly. As you said, you always have
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: to deliver the message correctly. And so will they do
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: that over the course of the next two days?
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: We don't know. But there is a good message that
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: could be delivered.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: Well, look, and there's some slippage, I'm told, in like
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: adult black male support for the Republicans, for Hispanic male support.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: There's slippage. But I still think that just because those
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: people are not excited about Republicans and may not even
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: show up, they don't like the Democrats anymore. The black
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: folk don't like this like socialist freak show, commie, green,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: red hair, crazy people with nose rings.
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: Men playing in women's sports. They don't like it.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: They just don't like it. And so, you know, I
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: think what we're seeing potentially is more that people are
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: disgusted with both. And it's because Republicans just are not
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: good at staying lockstep. Sure. They just have a hard
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: time governing because they like to throw monkey wrenches in.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: You don't see Democrats doing that. And I just think
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: it's a problem. But there are a lot of great things.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: The problem with some of the stuff Republicans do that
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: people don't really want to give them great credit for is, like,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: when you pass a bill that keeps a tax cut
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: in place, right, what you're doing is preventing taxes from
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: going up. I'm going to make this real simple for
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: folks out there, okay? What do you call it? The big,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: beautiful bill or a meatball sandwich, whatever you call it.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: When you keep taxes the same and don't raise them,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: or if you didn't vote, the taxes would automatically go
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: up on everyone. All the time. And that's what the
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Democrats wanted to do. So for all these nimble souls
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: out there who seem to think that, We're the ones
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: that are the bad guys here.
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they're crazy.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: We want to spend more of your money. And it's
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: a very simple theme. I think we need to talk
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: to people where they are.
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we will.
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: Yes, I think that's a great idea. We should take
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: a break. We can start getting ready for a break.
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: And then after we come back from the break, I
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: think the best thing to do is to talk a
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: little bit more about what we think the message that
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: should be delivered at this convention should be. Because I
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: think that we're bouncing around on that. And then finally,
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: one last question I have for you. Don't answer it now, Wayne.
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: The best place for a meatball sub in Houston. You
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: said a meatball sub. I don't know where a good
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: spot is for a meatball sub here. I would like
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: to know.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: My house.
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: My house, too.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: I want to open an Italian restaurant so bad.
• 44:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, Dolce Fino's would be amazing.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: I will sell my name if there's a restaurateur out there.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Who wants to let me make the meatballs.
• 45:00
  Speaker 13: Nice.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: And the pasta dolce fino.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: You can use my name. Again, I want to get paid.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Of course. For all you people who think I just
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: do this for charity.
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: I'm doing this for charity. I'm doing this because you
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: were desperate.
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: I was.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: You called me and begged me.
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: I did, yeah.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, can we take a break?
• 45:17

• 48:42
  Speaker 3: you know who I am. Craig, we have to explain.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: But I'm well known.
• 48:49
  Speaker 7: Yes, you are.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I've been sued by more people than anyone else in

• 48:56
  Speaker 7: You have to go to court today. which is kind
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: of crazy.
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: I love to go. You know, the funny thing about
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: me is that I have this sick enjoyment of going
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: to places where I'm not like, like I actually really
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: enjoy going to a politician's meeting after I've done an
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: investigation of the politician, because I know that I'm in
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: his head and that he's going to be like looking
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: at me and giving me like the death look.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: And I sort of enjoy that. Sure.
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: You sound like a pitcher. I don't know if you
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: were ever like a baseball player, but you sound like
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: the kind of pitcher.
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: OK, look at me. You never know. You never baseball.
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: Everybody can play.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: No, I couldn't really play that well.
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: You sound like a pitcher, though. You like being in
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: the head of the batter all the time. You like
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: messing with their brain.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: I do, but I actually enjoy it. I go into
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: a room full of people that hate me, and I
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: just love it. And I still love it to this day,
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: which is why I still do it. But I want
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: to get back to messaging. Okay.
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because we were talking off the air a little
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: bit about the message that we think individually that the
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: RNC should deliver at this midterm convention.
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: What is yours?
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: Okay. So number one, when we took over, there were
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: about 20, 30 million people, some of them rapists, child molesters,
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: murderers that were coming over our border every day. And,
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: and the Democrats were saying, come on in. We don't
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: care where you're from. I saw there was two guys
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: from Uzbekistan who, that were arrested. Did you see that
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: story yesterday? Yeah. Two guys from Uzbekistan, right? The guy
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: left Uzbekistan, wherever the hell that is, like two weeks ago.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: And he managed to get across the Mexican border from
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Uzbekistan in two weeks, right? So that's number one, right?
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: How many lives have been saved? And that leads you
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: to fentanyl at the border. Okay. And then we have
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: a fancy new laser. We could shoot down all their,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: All the cartels drone. That's number one. Number two, we
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: have investment coming in this country like we have not
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: had for a very long time. We had a great
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: jobs report. You know, people's feelings lag behind numbers. We
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: had one of the best jobs reports we've had in
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: a long time. And when we weren't having jobs reports
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: that were so good... It was because we weren't hiring
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: people in the government. One of the ways the Democrats
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: sort of scam and say, look at all the jobs
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: we're creating. It's because all the jobs they're creating are
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: government jobs. People who, no disrespect to some of my
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: friends in government, you know, should be like on the
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: beach somewhere. They're not smart people.
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: And actually Democrats specifically attacked when there were a lot
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: of people losing jobs. And it was because Trump was
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: firing a lot of people in government that they were.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, the way the media portrays it, it
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: was like, Oh, that poor bureaucrat who makes $ 185, 000 a
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: year to do nothing.
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Who's been shipped from one place to another. Cause they're
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: so stupid. Right. We fired that person. Now, Would I
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: have done it the way they did it? No. I
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: actually think they were going for immediate impact rather than
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: long-term play. I think sometimes when you come in, you're
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: tempted to try to throw big, giant cruise missiles, and
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: you may be better off doing it along the way.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: But I think taxes, I think the border, I think crime,
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: the reality is, There's a good chance your mama is
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: alive today because we don't put up with criminals. Right?
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: We don't think everyone should be restored. We should just
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: talk nicely to the little robber person.
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: We got to throw them out of the country.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: And hope that they feel better.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 53:05
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: I just think common sense is the right message.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: And I think Ken Paxton's message tonight has to be.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Common sense. what he's done.
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: Well, here's what's nice about this.
• 53:18
  Speaker 8: Wayne has laid out what he thinks should be said
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: at the convention, and we will talk to Lieutenant Governor
• 53:23
  Speaker 8: Dan Patrick after the news break coming up in just
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: a second. And, Wayne, you'll be able to tell him
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: to pass that on to whoever needs to hear it,
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: and we'll see what Lieutenant Governor thinks will be happening
• 53:33
  Speaker 8: over the course of the next two days in Dallas.
• 53:35
  Speaker 7: This is KSV Mornings. He is Wayne DelGiovino.
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: I am Craig Collins, back with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: after this on The Voice of Texas.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: My mind raced and I thought, what could I do?
