  Speaker 4: What we need right now is a clear message to

  Speaker 4: the people of this country. This message must be read
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen on every television.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: This message must resound throughout the entire interlink.
• 0:34

• 1:03
  Speaker 8: It.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: As in the GOP convention in Dallas. Good afternoon and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: welcome to Chris X Radio. I am the aforementioned X-Man.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: We have assumed control of the airwaves. We will maintain
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: control of these airwaves for the next two hours as,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of course, we come bearing that gift beyond price that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: is almost free, ladies and gentlemen. We bring you the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: spirit of talk radio, and boy, do we got a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: lot to get into today. Got a couple of guests
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: joining us. Here at the bottom of the hour, we'll
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: catch up with Ron Reeder. He is the host of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Ron Reeder Digs the Universe, something probably a little different
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: than what the vast majority of our listeners would partake in,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but I know there are some that would enjoy it. Anyway,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I've known Ron since elementary school, and I haven't talked
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to him in about 45, 50 years. So we'll talk
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to him, but kicking things off live from the GOP convention,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Here in Dallas, the first ever midterm convention taking place.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: President Trump's going to be speaking tonight and tomorrow night.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And there is a myriad of people speaking and stuff
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: going on. And our good friend, Matt Locke, the voice
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of DFW, host of the 9 to 11 a.m. show
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on WBAP out of Dallas, joins us here live from
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the GOP convention in Dallas. And we're going to kick
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: things off with him. Matt, thanks for joining us here. Man,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you're in the belly of the beast as we speak.
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: I sure am. And I'm trying to find a quiet
• 2:29
  Speaker 9: corner in here. But Chris, 20,000 of our closest friends
• 2:32
  Speaker 9: showed up and everybody I talked to bought their own ticket.
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: So I'm not sure how the narrative got pushed out
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: there that nobody was coming and no one was paying.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Sounds a little bit like the propaganda apparatus of the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: lamestream cult of the Democrat Party pushing their narrative. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: what you're saying is there seems to be a few
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: people there and all of them seem to have purchased tickets. Now,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I know you're media, so you you shouldn't have to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: purchase your own tickets, but I also know you're very busy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So but I'm glad you're there. Now, you did your
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: show earlier from there. But from what I've heard, you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: guys are doing continuing broadcast and will be there till
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: like midnight tonight.
• 3:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm going back on the air in an hour
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: and we'll be on the air until midnight tonight. So
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: I've got a little bit of radio to do today,
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: but I'm always, I've always got time for my good buddy,
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: Chris X.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Well, this is true. Like I said, ever since we're
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of guys who hit it off pretty good
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: early on. And, man, we've stayed in touch and both
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: have made our way through this crazy universe we call media,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: which it's a much bigger spectrum than it once was. And,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of course, that parlays into everything. So tell me, I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: did tune into, I'm not going to lie, I listened
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to a little bit of your show this morning. I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: heard you interviewing Laura Logan. So I heard some of that,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but I didn't get to hear some of the other stuff.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming you've had a few interviews. You'll be doing more,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and I imagine you'll probably have a bunch of interviews
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this evening as well.
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there's just a ton of people here, and we're
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: talking to all kinds of folks, Chris. I mean, from,
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: you know, politicians, local, national, to everybody in between. I mean,
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: there's just such an, you know, there's an ecosystem here
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: with the Laura Logans, with the, you know, the H-1B visas,
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: with the Islam and the Muslims here just north of
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: Dallas and the things that we're paying attention to. There's
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: a lot to talk about with about, what, 54 days,
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: 53 days left till the midterm elections?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's right around the corner. It's getting here really fast.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So tell me, has the speakers started yet, or do
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: they start later this evening? What all has taken place
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: so far as things kick off here at the GOP
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: convention here in Dallas? By the way, this is a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: one-of-a-kind event. This has never happened before, right before midterms,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but this may become the regular thing if it ends
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: up being very successful.
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: Well, they opened the doors at 3 o'clock, and they
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: started speaking just about, probably about half an hour ago. And,
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: you know, as any good prize fight UFC match, we've
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: got the undercards going right now. You've got, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: the politicians who are vying for local, state, even, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: federal-type offices who are now speaking. I think Ana Luna
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: Paulina just spoke. I mean, you've got some big hitters
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: here that are getting out the message. I mean, the
• 5:17
  Speaker 9: speaker lineup, is unbelievable for both these days. I mean,
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: they're going to have somewhere north of 160 speakers in
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: the next two days.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the speakers. I was looking at the list when
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it was first brought out. And you're right. I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you've got the president, the vice president, speaker of the House,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Ken Paxton, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick will be there. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know you just interviewed him last. Was it last week
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: or earlier this week? No, I guess it was last week.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And so there, like I said, basically everyone involved, the governor. Sorry,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: don't want to. I missed the governor. I'm assuming I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: think he's on the list as well. But as you mentioned,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: there's a ton of people. And this is something that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: could really I guess I've noticed here in Houston. We're
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: still seeing plenty of the Tallarico ads, but we're starting
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to see the Ken Paxton ads now playing to offset
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that a little bit. And I know that Ken Paxton
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: will be speaking as well. Are you seeing any momentum
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: so far since you've been there today?
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: I mean, if you're paying attention, Chris, which I know
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: you do, we're watching these polls are starting to shift, right?
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: I mean, Ken Paxton didn't spend any money until about
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: a week ago. And so you had Tallarico burning up
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: the airwaves, trying to debate his own positions against himself.
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: And now that Trump has came in with his PAC,
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: Elon came in with his PAC, there's money flowing and
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: Ken Paxton ads are everywhere. He's starting to get a
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: ton of momentum, which is showing in the polls. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: saw a poll this morning. I think Paxton's up three
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: or four points. And as you and I both know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: Governor Abbott is going to do very well. And I
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: think Ken Paxton rides that wave.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You know, listening to the lieutenant governor and him talking about,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you know, like I said, historically, we know the way
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: things go here in Texas tends to lean towards the Republicans.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: But there's an upswell, I guess, from not necessarily the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Democrat side, but those that are upset with Republicans because
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of high gas prices and whatever else. So the Democrats
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: have a bit of momentum. And especially when you're leaning towards,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you know, an open seat now for the U.S. Senate
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: here in Texas, that opens a door and makes things easier.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more competitive, which I think fired up
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the base on the Democrat Party and have got in,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: once again, $ 100 million. And that's what we're looking at
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: they're having to spend. I know that the president has
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: already dropped about $ 10 or $ 12 million in the Paxton race,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and then now we've got ads coming out. from Elon
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Musk's PAC, so we will talk about that here later
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in the program. So it looks like basically the counter-programming
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: has finally started, so now we're getting a case in.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And you nailed it, and I guess you've been following
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and paying attention the way I have been, is James
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Tallarico is basically running a campaign against himself, against everything
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that he said and the way that he has voted
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: for the last six, eight years that he's been, quote,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in the Texas House, of course, and public eye.
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: So....
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I guess it's up to the Republicans to expose him
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: for what he truly is, that he is not the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: moderate that he portrays himself in these commercials.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: No, and we all see that. Obviously, Chris, we're already
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: baked into the pie. But I know that Tallarico was
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: sitting down with Fox News. I saw that come across
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: my feed today. He's trying hard to portray himself as
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: something he's not. And I'll tell you what I really
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: like about what Republicans are currently doing. They're finally starting
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: to make the case of why to Not that the
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: Democrats are crazy, because we know that. Not that the
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: Democrats are bad. But why should you vote for me?
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: And I think that goes a lot farther in retail
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: politics than just saying your opponent sucks. You know, you
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: want to tell people what you'll do for them. And
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: we're starting to see more and more of those ads.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: We're talking with Matt Locke. He's the voice of DFW,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the host of the 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. show
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: on WBAP in Dallas. He is live at the Texas
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: GOP convention. It's I'm sorry, the GOP convention here in Texas,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: which is in Dallas, which is right over there by
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: where you guys broadcast. And you're going to like said,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you've got an early show from 9 to 11 a.m. weekdays.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: on 820 a.m wbap so you're there doing your program
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: live in the morning but then you're sticking around all
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: afternoon going on the afternoon show and then you guys
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: are staying and broadcasting until are you really staying there
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: until midnight tonight.
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: Uh yeah i got here at 6 30 this morning
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: took me an hour to get through secret service and
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: i'll be here to midnight tonight i'm going to do
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: that again tomorrow chris so who needs sleep when you're
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: in radio right.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: You know, this reminds me, first of all, yeah, nobody
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: gets to sleep in radio, so there's that. But this
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: reminds me of a few years back when you went
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to work for one of the television networks and you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: were going around and covering the Trump rallies. And you
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: went all over the country covering these Trump rallies. In fact,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you've probably been to as many, if not more than
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: anyone other than the president himself. Is this starting to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: feel like a Trumpapalooza, as they're calling it? Is it
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: starting to feel like a Trump rally? Or does this
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: seem just like the... They try to get the base
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: out and vote.
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: Well, no, you're absolutely correct. I had a little bit
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: of deja vu this morning when I got out of
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: bed to come here because you're right. I've covered all
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: of these Trump rallies. And I'm going to tell you, Chris,
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: this is unbelievable. And it's got the same feel. President
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: Trump is P.T.
• 10:37
  Speaker 11: Barnum.
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: He is the leader of the circus. He knows exactly
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: how to get the people fired up. It is brilliant,
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: I think, on the part of the Republican Party, because
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: you and I both know that in these midterm elections, Republicans,
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: they like not to show up. Trump's not on the ballot.
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: We know when Trump's on the ballot, they show up.
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: So what is President Trump doing? He's impromptu putting himself out.
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: kind of on the ballot. So it's a great strategy.
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: I think it feels just like all these rallies. I mean,
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: people are wearing merchandise, make America great again, red hats.
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's the same thing. I swear to God,
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: I went back in a time loop.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: It's kind of funny because, like I said, I remember
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you doing that. And then, of course, we met a
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: few different times at the CPACs they were doing up in,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: what is it, National Harbor up there in D.C. So
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you have been around the president and seen many, many
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of his events. And this is, once again, sort of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: falls right in line. I also understand the security aspect
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of it when the president is there. I remember how
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: tight it was before they started trying to murder him.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: And then now that they tried to murder him at
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: least two or three or four or 10 times or whatever,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I can imagine how locked down it is. And something
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that you and I were having a conversation about, I guess,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: was it last week or earlier this week is that, uh,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Dallas can't afford to have another president killed under their watch.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So everything is indoors and hopefully security is good and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: tight and keeping the president and everybody there.
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: I'm on the phone. Sorry, dude. People keep thinking I
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: work somewhere because they keep asking me for directions. Sorry, but, uh, Yes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: So there are lots of balconies outside. There are high-rise
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: buildings in downtown Dallas. So, I mean, it's a logistical
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: nightmare for security for all these buildings around the AAC,
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: the American Airlines Center. So everything is inside. Everything is
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: locked down. I've got four different badges, Chris, just to
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: get into the place, get to places I need to
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: go and be on Radio Row. So, look, I mean,
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: we live in that time. We live in a time
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: now where you said Dallas doesn't have a great track
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: record with presidents. And we probably don't need Trump to
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: be another significant stop on that train.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Boy, I couldn't agree with that more. I don't want
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: any president assassinated, even with the ones I don't like.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: But I especially don't want Donald Trump assassinated. Oddly enough,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the other side, you know, they tend to disagree with
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that for some reason. They've gotten in the business of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: opposition and silencing opposition. And I don't think that bodes
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: well for anyone.
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: We're talking with Matt Locke, the voice of DFW, host
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of the 9 to 9 to 11 a.m. show on
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: WBAP in Dallas. He is live at the GOP convention
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: here in Dallas, Texas. Once again, so you're going to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: be there for the speeches. Now, are you going to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: get to watch any of the speeches this evening or
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: are you going to be strictly broadcasting live and then
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: covering it and interviewing people?
• 13:22
  Speaker 9: No, we are going to take a lot of these
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: speeches live to the radio. I mean, come on, we're
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: the ears for the people that can't watch TV, who
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: are driving into cars and all that stuff. So we're
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: going to take a lot of these speeches live from
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: our feed. So it won't be, you know how this goes, Chris.
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: It won't be too bad. We're going to be interviewing people.
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: We'll be listening to speeches. We got a TV right
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: in front of our booth so we can see what's
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: going on. who's speaking, all of that stuff. So it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: going to be a little hybrid of talking to people,
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: listening to speeches, being at the convention and just enjoying,
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: you know, all of the people that, you know, Chris,
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: it's amazing when conservatives get together. It's a really nice
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: get together. People are happy, friendly, shaking your hand, coming
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: up to you, you know, just having conversations. I can't
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: imagine what the Democrat dimensions look like.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what they look like, but I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: know you've got a present ID to get into them,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: which is kind of ironic. You know, it's funny, I guess,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: before I let you go, because I know you're busy
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate your time. We went to a CPAC.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: At one point in time, you and I were doing
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a syndicated program, and we were at CPAC. And right
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: when we were broadcasting our show, the president went to speak.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: And I remember jumping up and leaving you by yourself
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: during the show. And I ran and snuck in and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: got to watch and videotape the president a little bit.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And that was a lot of fun. I'm assuming you're
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: not going to have that luxury tonight. And also, if
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, I think the president is going on live,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I guess, 10 p.m. Eastern or is it 9 p.m.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Eastern is when he is scheduled to speak.
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the president's going to speak at 9 p.m. Eastern,
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: 8 Central. So it'll be a little bit earlier for us.
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: But no, I'm not going to have the ability to
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: get up and leave the booth and go watch Trump.
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: So I'm going to have to watch it on the
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: TV and listen to it with the rest of the
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: listeners of WBAP.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, that's probably good to keep you near the microphone.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I've called you the mouth of the South,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and you always do a fine job. I appreciate you
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: keeping us updated on what's going on. If anything crazy happens,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: we may reach out and get you back on tomorrow
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: for our Friday show on Thursday if we get any
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: good stuff. But have a good time. Be safe up there.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And thank you so much for keeping us posted on
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: what's going on at the GOP convention.
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: Always, my friend. And you have my phone number. Call anytime.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: All right, we absolutely will do. Once again, Matt Locke,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: he is what I call the voice of DFW. He
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: is the host from the 9 to 11 a.m. weekday
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: show on 820 a.m. WBAP, the blowtorch up in Dallas.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: If you're anywhere remotely near Dallas-Fort Worth, you can pick
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that signal up. When I drive up to the Hill Country,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'll tune in and listen to Matt's show while I'm
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: driving up. I'm heading back over through Austin. that area
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: heading up towards Mason. So anyway, he is live at
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the GOP convention here in Dallas, Texas. Well, in Dallas,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a little north of us here. All right, let's take
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a short break. We'll come back. Coming up at the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, I mentioned the other side and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that they're not as friendly and they've taken to violence.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And we've seen a lot of this. Well, there's somebody
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that you were going to catch up with at the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: bottom half of the hour. His name is Ron Reeder.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: He's a guy I went to school with and played
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Little League with. Well, he's on the opposite end of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the political spectrum, but he's always been very kind and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: said nothing but kind things about my show, even though
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I know he doesn't like it at all. And he's actually,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you know, even stood up when other people attacked him
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: for mentioning me and not mentioning it with vitriol and hate.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So he believes in something called freedom of speech, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to that. He also hosts a show on
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: YouTube called Ron Reeder Digs the Universe. So we'll catch
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: up with him right at the bottom of the hour.
• 16:48

• 20:16
  Speaker 12: Man, do you remember.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: When the world was afraid of Americans? And then Barack
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Obama and Joe Biden came along and they weren't as
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: afraid of Americans. And then Trump came back and it
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: was so funny. I saw people posting online. Donald Trump
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: has ran the debt up so much in his two terms.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, hold on. First of all, he has
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: run the debt up. Second of all, it's not anything
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: close to what they're claiming because we had, unfortunately, an
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: interruption between the Trump two terms of a president houseplant,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: President Joe Biden, who, once again, what did he do?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: You can't ignore that fact. But then again, you're talking politics.
• 21:10
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Chris X Radio. I'm the aforementioned X-Man.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Glad to have you here with us. Man, the GOP
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: convention in Dallas has kicked off officially. They're rocking and rolling.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: We just spoke with Matt Locke, the host of the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: 9 to 11 a.m. show on WBAP in Dallas. He's
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: up there live. He's going to be there until, what,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: midnight tonight? Dear Lord, this is this reminds me back
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: when he was covering those Trump rallies and when he
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: was those longtime listeners of Chris X radio. Remember, because
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I talked to him live from those Trump rallies. So
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: he covered a bunch of them. So and it's kind
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of like he's doing it again. And from what there's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a supposedly there's going to be some sort of an
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: announcement tomorrow. And that'll be course after our show. So
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: we can't get that from him unless he Trump spills
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the beans tonight. But I'm thinking it's going to be
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: that Trump is going to be doing these rallies again
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: for the next month or month through October going into November.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: He's going to be doing those rallies, try to fire
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: up the base. The base has definitely been depressed. So
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to get them fired up again and with gas prices
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: popping up, there you go. Actually, I've got a few
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: things we're going to talk about here. By the way,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: we'll catch up with Ron Reeder here on the other
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: side of the break. So stick around. We'll talk to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: him later. Here at the next segment. But so today,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: after we talk with Ron, I want to get these
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: three anthropic researchers are now warning that AI systems and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: their industry is racing. Their industry is racing to build
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: could wipe out humanity before the decade is over. Does
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: anybody really believe that? So I'll get to that. Oil
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: climbed above one hundred dollars a barrel, the highest it's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: been since May. So we'll talk about that. Humper Biden
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: has launched a slap top. Well, instead of an S,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: it's the dollar sign. A meme cryptocurrency that promptly crashed
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: 98% in one hour. So Humper Biden's still going and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: playing people and.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: And I mentioned the GOP convention is kicked off today.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: We can get into that. Also, Elon Musk's America Pack
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: has launched a barrage of new ads targeting the Democrat
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Senate candidates in four of the most competitive races using
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the hot-button topic of biological men competing in women's sports.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And I did see a clip, which, by the way,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I was going to clip some of James Tallarico's Fox
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: News interview today, the clips, but I haven't been able
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: to get it. So I haven't found it yet. But
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: if I find it during the show, I'll clip it
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and play some of those clips for you. But we
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: need to go ahead and take a break, and then
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: we'll come back and catch up with a guy I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: basically grew up with. We went to elementary school. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: think we took a break during middle school. He went
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to one, I went to another, and then we were
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: back together in high school. He currently hosts a program
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: on YouTube called Ron Reader Digs the Universe. Now, it
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: is very politically antithetical to what we do here. But
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: when people, you know, they brought up me, I guess,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: because it's funny. I remember in school, I think he
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: was a little more conservative. Well, we'll catch up with
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Ron Reeder here on the other side of the break.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Don't you go anywhere. You're listening to Chris X Radio.
• 24:22

  Speaker 21: Are you thinking about a cash-out refinance? Hi, it's Kathy
• 26:37
  Speaker 21: from Baker Mortgage. A cash-out refinance can get you back
• 26:40
  Speaker 21: in your comfort zone, and that's what it's all about.
• 26:43
  Speaker 21: A recent client who closed with us had his payment
• 26:46
  Speaker 21: go up about $ 300, but his monthly outgo was being
• 26:50
  Speaker 21: reduced by $ 1, 200, so giving him a net positive cash
• 26:54
  Speaker 21: flow of $ 900. It's not about adding debt, but restructuring
• 26:58
  Speaker 21: it in a way that makes sense. And this math
• 27:01
  Speaker 21: totally makes sense. And please don't sweat it if your
• 27:04
  Speaker 21: interest rate is going up a little or if you're
• 27:06
  Speaker 21: extending the term. I can show you by taking a
• 27:09
  Speaker 21: small amount of what you're saving monthly and applying it
• 27:12
  Speaker 21: towards your mortgage, you're going to pay it off just
• 27:14
  Speaker 21: as quickly and you'll be way ahead in the money game,

• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to catch up with a guest that I've been talking
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: about here on the program here. I talked a couple
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. It is a guy that I went to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: school with. We played Little League together. He's a real
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: nice guy. I remember him from school, elementary school. We
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: may have broke during middle school. I'll ask him about it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: But then high school together, and then he went off,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and I think he's an actor. He's done a whole lot.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: He is currently a host of a program on YouTube
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: called Ron Reader Digs the Universe, and he's been kind
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: enough to join us here on the program this afternoon. Hey, Ron,

  Speaker 23: Hi, it's good to be here.
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: Good to be here.
• 29:19
  Speaker 23: Thank you for having me on.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad to get you on the program. Some
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: interesting stuff occurs now. I know for those, I have
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: some very conservative listeners, but I also have a few
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: liberal listeners that like to engage and argue with me.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: From what I've seen from your program, Ron Reeder Digs
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the Universe, which by the way is one of the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: coolest names of a show that Thank you. So it's
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: very cool. But you tend to be from the other
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: side of the political spectrum, and I've seen that there
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: are some people that we knew that we went to
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: school with and others that you've been nothing but complimentary
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: towards me and my show, and I really appreciate that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad to thank you personally for that, even
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: though I know you probably don't dig what we're doing here.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: But that being said, you've always defended my right to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: do it, and I want to make sure that I
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: give you the opportunity to come on and defend your
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: right as well. So I appreciate it. I think we're
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: both big fans of free speech, right?
• 30:11
  Speaker 23: Definitely. That is something that makes us uniquely American. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 23: I got to add on to that, that it's, you know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 23: I come from a conservative family. I've got Trump supporters
• 30:24
  Speaker 23: that are conservative and conservative, never Trumpers. And it's, you know,
• 30:30
  Speaker 23: we're Americans, you know, we're friends, family. And the way
• 30:34
  Speaker 23: that we just all continue to humanize each other is,
• 30:37
  Speaker 23: you know, it's just a glass.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: No, you're absolutely correct. But we've gotten I think it's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: back to a time. I know there was a time
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: in the past where things were very polarized and people
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: were walking it off 21 paces and shooting each other.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And we seem to be heading that direction with the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: political discourse. It's gotten very violent and very extreme. And
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I know you get attacked for your politics all the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: time because I see people that will do it, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: on social media and stuff. And I've never been one
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to attack you for your politics because I remember you,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: first of all, in elementary school. We played Little League together.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Did we play on the Yankees? Do you remember which
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: team we played together on?
• 31:18
  Speaker 23: Oh, I was on a Yankees Little League team, and
• 31:22
  Speaker 23: that must have been it. Yeah, yeah. I was in
• 31:27
  Speaker 23: the third or fourth grade.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember. I know we were little kids
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and we did real well. So you were the sleeper.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: You were the guy apparently was the secret weapon that
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: we had, I believe.
• 31:37
  Speaker 23: All right. I'll be outfield.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But we went to elementary school today. And then,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: of course, we went to high school together. If I
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: remember correctly, you were on student council. And as you mentioned,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you come from a conservative family. Were you more conservative
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: in high school or am I misremembering that?
• 31:57
  Speaker 23: No, I considered myself a Republican in high school. The
• 32:01
  Speaker 23: thing you got to remember, though, is that the two sides,
• 32:06
  Speaker 23: liberal and conservative, were a lot closer back in those
• 32:11
  Speaker 23: days than they are today. You know, it's a lot
• 32:14
  Speaker 23: less of the demonizing of individuals on either side. You know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 23: it's like, yeah, liberals can complain about conservatives and vice versa,
• 32:24
  Speaker 23: but it's like, At that time, you know, in the
• 32:28
  Speaker 23: late 70s, early 80s, we were all still Americans together.
• 32:32
  Speaker 23: And so when I eventually sort of left the conservative
• 32:37
  Speaker 23: way of thinking and moved over to liberalism, it was
• 32:39
  Speaker 23: a lot easier to do than I think it would
• 32:41
  Speaker 23: be now.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's you're right. It's funny because a lot of people,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: unless you've lived through the 70s and 80s like we
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: did and we were kids in school, then people don't
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: quite realize that things weren't always so polarized. I remember
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: when we were kids and in school, nobody really cared
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: who was a Democrat or Republican.
• 32:58
  Speaker 24: You're right.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: The parties were very similar. And it was, like I said,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: there wasn't this division that we have now. And then,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: like I said, since we graduated from high school, by
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: the way, this last month or the month before was
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: 40 years ago. Where did the time go, Ron? It's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: been 45 years or so since I last talked to you.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Where did the time go?
• 33:17
  Speaker 23: I don't know, you know. It's just like you snap
• 33:21
  Speaker 23: your fingers and it's 20 years later, you know. So,
• 33:24
  Speaker 23: I don't know. It's a mystery to me that it's you.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: It is. It is a mystery. And speaking of mysteries,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the universe is full of mysteries. And your YouTube program
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: is called Ron Reader Digs the Universe. Now, I love
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the title of it. Like I said, I don't love
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the politics. Of course, I know you don't love my politics.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: But that being said, it's great seeing someone that I
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: went to school with and I am a big fan
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: of freedom of speech. Just like I know you are.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Tell the listeners a little bit about your program and
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: what exactly you cover and what led to you digging
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the universe.
• 33:55
  Speaker 23: Yeah, sure. A lot of stuff comes into it. I
• 33:59
  Speaker 23: got to tell you that as a theater artist, you know,
• 34:01
  Speaker 23: that's my background. I studied as an undergraduate with theater,
• 34:06
  Speaker 23: and then I hung on as an undergraduate and studied radio, television, film.
• 34:11
  Speaker 23: Then after teaching high school theater for six years out
• 34:13
  Speaker 23: in Baytown, I went to LSU and got a Master
• 34:17
  Speaker 23: of Fine Arts in acting. And the whole time.
• 34:21
  Speaker 25: I have been.
• 34:22
  Speaker 23: trying to figure out what's the best way to put
• 34:27
  Speaker 23: all of the different parts of myself together in one
• 34:32
  Speaker 23: sort of theatrical performance, you know? And I'm a very
• 34:36
  Speaker 23: political person. I'm very much into music and the arts, film,
• 34:41
  Speaker 23: et cetera. And how do I put all that together?
• 34:46
  Speaker 23: And so I've been sort of experimenting for many, many.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Many years.
• 34:49
  Speaker 23: I had a blog at for a long time, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 23: just keep trying, you know, how do I put my songwriting,
• 34:56
  Speaker 23: you know, I'm still kind of out of tune, I've
• 34:58
  Speaker 23: been like that every now and then, but how do
• 35:01
  Speaker 23: I put that together with my films and acting, what's
• 35:03
  Speaker 23: the reviews, and I had a little project when I
• 35:06
  Speaker 23: was in graduate school, where I started, you know, live,
• 35:11
  Speaker 23: addressed the audience about some cultural issues I had in
• 35:16
  Speaker 23: live video feed and a couple of sound pieces from
• 35:19
  Speaker 23: myself on stage. And ultimately, you know, so that's sort
• 35:23
  Speaker 23: of lying there in the background. And Michael King from
• 35:27
  Speaker 23: high school, he's doing well as an actor out in
• 35:30
  Speaker 23: Los Angeles right now. He's suggesting my own YouTube show.
• 35:34
  Speaker 23: And so I did and put it together. I think
• 35:38
  Speaker 23: about five minutes or so once a week. And I
• 35:42
  Speaker 23: divide that up into clips. But five minutes or so
• 35:45
  Speaker 23: of just describing whatever topic I want to address, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 23: I try to do it from the point of view
• 35:51
  Speaker 23: of somebody who would study history and the arts and
• 35:55
  Speaker 23: culture and American civilization. So, you know, I script it myself.
• 36:02
  Speaker 23: I shoot it myself. I cut it together myself. You know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 23: it's a total wrong for your production. Speaking of the
• 36:11
  Speaker 23: universe part, at least for my having Being a jazz fan,
• 36:16
  Speaker 23: I've been profoundly affected by Jack Kerouac's book, On the Road.
• 36:21
  Speaker 23: They dig a lot of things, and I dig the universe.
• 36:25
  Speaker 23: So there you have it, you know, five minutes a
• 36:28
  Speaker 23: week from somebody who has studied American civilization from the
• 36:32
  Speaker 23: point of view of an artist.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting, Ron, because we come from a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: time where that sort of stuff was celebrated. And I
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: know one thing I do know about you is you
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: like a lot of good music. So that's cool that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: you're able to incorporate that stuff in. And like I said,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: we've always had that sort of thing in common. And
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: then you started doing your program, which is the great
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: thing about YouTube and now the podcast world. And there's
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: just so much going on that you can literally get out.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: And as you said, you can do five minutes a
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: week or as often as you like. So that makes
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: it very entertaining for those who listen, who want to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: go check it out. It is Ron Reeder digs the universe.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: It is on YouTube. Do you post it on like
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: social media as well, like Twitter and Facebook and all
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: of that stuff as well?
• 37:12
  Speaker 23: You know, I've been a little lazy about it. I
• 37:16
  Speaker 23: don't really like self-promoting, but it's like I don't want
• 37:20
  Speaker 23: to be making a show that nobody's watching. I've got
• 37:22
  Speaker 23: a small subscriber base. I've got a TikTok account, but
• 37:28
  Speaker 23: they kept banning me, and I'm still not even sure why.
• 37:31
  Speaker 23: But it's like I cut up, you know, so no,
• 37:34
  Speaker 23: basically YouTube, I put some clips on Facebook, but I
• 37:38
  Speaker 23: need to promote myself better. But yeah, you find me
• 37:41
  Speaker 23: at YouTube and clips on Facebook.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess I'm guilty of that, too. I should
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: promote myself better. Maybe we both need to hire a
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: hype man for both of us to to get things going. So, OK,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: so it was interesting. I like to hear a little
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: bit about what you were telling me about your transition
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: from being more, you know, conservative Republican and then moving on.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: You being in the actor world, the screenwriting and that
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Do you think that had a lot
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: to do with your transition or not really just happened
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: to be a just a natural evolution?
• 38:08
  Speaker 23: In part, you know, it's it's. You know, everyone is
• 38:14
  Speaker 23: a complicated individual, you know, and everybody becomes their political
• 38:19
  Speaker 23: self as a result of all kinds of experiences. You know,
• 38:23
  Speaker 23: the home that you grow up in, the school that
• 38:25
  Speaker 23: you went to, the people that you're surrounded by. So, yeah, definitely,
• 38:29
  Speaker 23: the arts is definitely a left-leaning field. But for me,
• 38:35
  Speaker 23: I think because I was a conservative on the Kingwood
• 38:39
  Speaker 23: High School debate team, You know, I criticize everyone in
• 38:45
  Speaker 23: America for not thinking deeply enough about our culture and
• 38:50
  Speaker 23: about our politics. And I sort of came at it
• 38:55
  Speaker 23: from a different point of view. You know, show me
• 38:57
  Speaker 23: the money, let me see. And the really big thing
• 39:01
  Speaker 23: in my life was when I studied television and film
• 39:06
  Speaker 23: and learning the techniques that professionals use to create stories,
• 39:13
  Speaker 23: and to manipulate emotions of the audience, right? And realizing
• 39:20
  Speaker 23: they're really, really good at what they do, and all
• 39:26
  Speaker 23: of these techniques, in addition to being used for moving people,
• 39:30
  Speaker 23: television shows, they use them for sports, broadcast sports, and
• 39:34
  Speaker 23: they use them for broadcast news. And so the long
• 39:40
  Speaker 23: and the short of all that is that basically if
• 39:43
  Speaker 23: we are watching our news on video screens, we are
• 39:48
  Speaker 23: being manipulated by basically professional content creators that know exactly
• 39:56
  Speaker 23: how to put a story together in a maximum effect
• 40:01
  Speaker 23: in terms of getting ratings and of manipulating our emotions.
• 40:05
  Speaker 23: Bottom line is, if you're watching your news, liberal or conservative,
• 40:12
  Speaker 23: you are not getting a really good picture. You're having
• 40:15
  Speaker 23: your feelings work, but you're not thinking deeply about it
• 40:20
  Speaker 23: versus saying, read me. You know, if you read, it's
• 40:24
  Speaker 23: a very contemplative process. You stop for a moment and
• 40:28
  Speaker 23: you're just like, what did he just say there? Let
• 40:30
  Speaker 23: me reread that. Think about it. Then you move on.
• 40:33
  Speaker 23: If you're watching it, it flows over you. You know,
• 40:37
  Speaker 23: and we're, America right now, we are all in that boat.
• 40:42
  Speaker 23: You know, so it's, you know, keep listening to Chris
• 40:45
  Speaker 23: X Keep watching Fox News as a sort of supplement.
• 40:50
  Speaker 23: But otherwise, read the Wall Street Journal. I'm not going
• 40:53
  Speaker 23: to tell you to read the New York Times because
• 40:56
  Speaker 23: I know how conservatives feel about the New York Times.
• 40:58
  Speaker 23: But the Wall Street Journal continues to have really good
• 41:02
  Speaker 23: conservative credentials. And they are, as far as reporting the
• 41:05
  Speaker 23: news goes, an excellent, excellent newspaper. And I would love
• 41:12
  Speaker 23: to hang out with conservatives who read the Wall Street Journal.
• 41:16
  Speaker 23: You know, as opposed to people that are just ready
• 41:18
  Speaker 23: to shake their fists and scream and yell at me.
• 41:20
  Speaker 23: You know what I'm saying?
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I think you just gave a very accurate...
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: and also sensible take on media, because you're absolutely right.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Anywhere you're consuming media, you're consuming bias, whether it's one
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: side or another. A lot of people don't quite understand that,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: and you do, which I guess puts you in a
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: uniquely situation to where you see things more for what
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: it is. One of the things here, before we run
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: out of time, I wanted to ask you, now, I
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: know you've been, of course, attacked for your politics. Any
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: of us that are in the political arena, you get
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: attacked from one side or the other. Oftentimes, I'm attacked
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: by both. But oddly enough, once again, someone who's on
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: the opposite side of the political spectrum, you've never attacked me.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: You've been nothing but complimentary. In fact, one of the quotes,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I guess, from one of your videos was, if you
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: can listen to conservative talk radio without getting your blood
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: pressure up, then tune in. So it was a very
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: nice thing that you said. It was great, and it
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: was accurate. I agree with it. I've seen you get,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: first of all, attacked for your politics, but also attacked
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: by people on your side.
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: Some that we go to school with.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: For not being a total jerk to me and attacking me.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: And your response is always nothing but kindness. Do you
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: get often attacked for not only your politics, but even
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: when you defend someone for their freedom of speech?
• 42:34
  Speaker 23: Well, yeah, yeah, for sure. Here's a quick little story.
• 42:41
  Speaker 23: I know we're running out of time. I'm not a
• 42:45
  Speaker 23: Hillary fan. and you can pick your reasons for that.
• 42:49
  Speaker 23: But I think that Bill and Hillary led the Democratic
• 42:51
  Speaker 23: Party astray and from their roots. So when she was
• 42:55
  Speaker 23: running in 2016, I made a post saying that she
• 42:59
  Speaker 23: needs to deal with this email thing a little better, right?
• 43:04
  Speaker 23: I don't think there's anything there to it, but she's
• 43:07
  Speaker 23: just being pounded and she's acting all arrogant about it.
• 43:11
  Speaker 23: And I had all of my liberals, not all of them,
• 43:13
  Speaker 23: but a lot of them just like, pounding me. It's like, no, no, no.
• 43:19
  Speaker 23: It's like, no, those emails don't mean anything. I'm like, look,
• 43:22
  Speaker 23: it's a political reality. It's an issue. Deal with it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 23: And I felt like I was dealing with a liberal mob.
• 43:30
  Speaker 23: Another time I called Hillary Clinton a neoliberal, which it's Reaganomics,
• 43:36
  Speaker 23: conservative economics, tax cuts and deregulation. That's neoliberalism. It's an
• 43:41
  Speaker 23: actual thing. I called Hillary a neoliberal. And this guy's
• 43:45
  Speaker 23: just like, that's just an epithet. You know, and it's like, no,
• 43:50
  Speaker 23: you're not even qualified to be talking about this if
• 43:53
  Speaker 23: you don't know what a neoliberal is. You know, so
• 43:56
  Speaker 23: it's just, you know, I'm on the liberal side, but
• 44:00
  Speaker 23: I sometimes just have to sigh in despair about how uninformed,
• 44:07
  Speaker 23: you know, people on my side are, you know, just
• 44:10
  Speaker 23: bringing it all back into, we have a deeply uninformed population,
• 44:14
  Speaker 23: both sides, you know?
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I, I think that's very true. I know,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: like I said, you know, at least from my perspective,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I get attacked often, obviously by the same liberal mob,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: but I sometimes get attacked by the very, very conservative,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: which is funny because, you know, the old adage, if
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: you go too far to the left, you end up.
• 44:32
  Speaker 22: On the right.
• 44:32
  Speaker 21: Same thing.
• 44:33
  Speaker 25: If you go too far to the right, you end
• 44:34
  Speaker 25: up on the left.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: And guys like us are sort of in the middle. Well,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there is no room for diversity
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: of thought. And I know that's not going to play
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: well with you or what you're doing with Ron Reeder
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: digs the universe. All right, Ron, tell everybody the best
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: way to follow you and to follow your stuff. And
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: first of all, it's been great to catch up with you.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm so glad to have you on my program.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: But tell people how they can follow your program and
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: how they can keep in touch with you.
• 44:56
  Speaker 23: You bet. I got a Facebook page that's simply called
• 45:00
  Speaker 23: Ron Reeder Digs the Universe. You can follow me there,
• 45:03
  Speaker 23: or you can go to the source on YouTube. Just
• 45:07
  Speaker 23: do a search, Ron Reeder Digs the Universe. That'll bring
• 45:11
  Speaker 23: up my YouTube page. Reeder is spelled R-E-E-D-E-R, and that's
• 45:18
  Speaker 23: where I'll be.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Well, very nice. Well, it's been great to catch up
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: with you, and thanks again for coming on the program.
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: Hey, man, I'm honored.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: The civil discourse is something that has been lost in society.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you still have it, and I'm glad that
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I still have it. And it was great to talk
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to you after about 45 years or so.
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah, amen, brother.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: All right, once again, Ron Reeder, thank you very much
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: for your time today. He is the host of Ron
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Reeder Digs the Universe. You can go check it out.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: It is on YouTube, and he mentioned a Facebook page,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Ron Reeder Digs the Universe, R-E-E-D-E-R. And like I said,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I've known the guy since elementary school. I mean, we
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: weren't super close friends, but we knew each other and
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: played the Little League on the same team. I think
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: it was the Yankees. I don't remember which team it was,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: but we did. And the guy, once again, he's always
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: been– You just heard what he said. Once again, he
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: tends to side on the liberal side, and he still
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: gets attacked by those very angry people. And once again,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you guys will hear me. Boy, I got attacked from
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: those on the right for supporting some of the candidates
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: that I've supported. And people— Ron does a lot of thinking.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: And when you do that, a lot of reading, which
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate that advice. That is good advice for everybody. Left,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: right is to do more reading. The best you can.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: When I prepare for this radio show, I don't watch
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Fox News. I don't watch CNN. I don't watch any
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: of those. I go and read and I find an
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: article and then I go back and look at that
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: very same article from five or six or seven different
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: sources in order to get to the actual information. It
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: requires a lot of reading, a lot of time. I
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: know not everybody has that kind of time, but that
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: is how you get to as close to you can
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: get to truth because truth is shaded in so many
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: directions in today's environment. And the civil discourse has become
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: anything but civil. But I'm thankful for guys like that
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: guy grew up with Ron Reeder for keeping the discourse civil.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: And I know when people get uncivil with him, he'll
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: be uncivil right back. And I have a tendency to
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: do the same. But we just showed that we can
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: be on opposite sides of the spectrum and have a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: very nice conversation with a guy. He's a nice guy.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Ron's always been nice. Never had a problem with him
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: in the world.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: I appreciate him coming on my program. If you want
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to follow him, Ron Reeder digs the universe. Let's take
• 47:23

  Speaker 21: with a solid pre-approval. Hi, I'm Kathy Baker from Baker Mortgage. Yes,
• 50:05
  Speaker 21: we ask a lot of questions, but that's because we're
• 50:07
  Speaker 21: not going to give you a pre-approval that's going to
• 50:09
  Speaker 21: blow up as you're trying to cross the finish line.
• 50:11
  Speaker 21: What's figured in there for property taxes? If it didn't
• 50:14
  Speaker 21: come up, you really don't know what you're pre-approved for.
• 50:17
  Speaker 21: That should make you wonder what else they may have

  Speaker 21: left out. At Baker Mortgage, we get it right. We

• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Chris X Radio. Go Guts Man. Some good tunes. It
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: was funny because, man, rock got really aggressive in the
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: late 90s. Well, I guess during the 90s. There's a
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: very interesting podcast, which I have not gone and watched
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: the podcast. But I see clips all the time on
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Twitter or YouTube or Facebook or whatever. And it's Billy
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Corrigan from the Smashing Pumpkins. It's something about... I can't
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: remember what the name of his podcast is. But he
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: interviews people within... All different kinds of genres, actors, musicians,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: which I really appreciate the musicians and from the 90s.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: But he also talks about things that other musicians don't
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: talk about. One, because he's kind of a weird guy,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: but he's also very sort of libertarian. And he interviewed
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: and talked about how they made that conscious effort in
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: the late 90s and early 2000s to take rock out
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: of the genre. And we've seen that here on the
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: radio stations, but MTV did it. They pulled rock and
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: roll music and tried to make it irrelevant, basically. They
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: just got rid of it. Rock is dead or whatever.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: And then they moved on to different types of music,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: whether it be pop or rap. And rap seems to
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: be reaching its, I don't know if it's reaching its
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: ending point, but it is clearly headed in a direction
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: that is not as profitable as it once was. But
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: what he said was there was a conscious effort by they,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: whoever they are, we don't know. But those in charge
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: of MTV and some of the others that made the
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: conscious effort to pull rock out of the mainstream, the
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: biggest selling acts right now, there are a few of
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: the pop artists, but all of the old school rock
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: and roll, the Rolling Stones and shows like that, all
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: of those, they make a ton of money doing live concerts.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: There's not a ton of radio stations backing their music,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: but they're doing it. Why are their shows selling so
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: much without the backing? Because rock music still should be
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: in the culture. And someone decided for us that we're
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: going to eliminate it as much as they can from
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: the culture. Well, they couldn't eliminate it entirely. All right,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: hour number one is in the books. I want to
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: thank Matt Locke for joining us at the top of
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: the hour, and Ron Reeder, a host of Ron Reeder
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Digs the Universe on YouTube, him joining us. It was
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: great catching up with him. He's a guy I grew
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: up with, known Ron a long time. He's always been
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: a very nice guy. Once again, his politics are polar
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: opposite of mine, but we just had a really good
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: conversation and showed that you actually can have conversations. What
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: a concept, huh? Well, we'll talk about more here in
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: hour number two.
• 53:41
  Speaker 22: Don't you go anywhere.
• 53:41
  Speaker 26: We'll be right back.

• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I'm Keith Peters in Washington.
• 54:00
  Speaker 28: President Trump is heading to Dallas for his Republican midterm
• 54:03
  Speaker 28: convention where he's expected to speak both tonight and tomorrow.
• 54:07
  Speaker 28: President Trump says too much is being made of many
• 54:10
  Speaker 28: Republicans opting not to attend the convention.
• 54:13
  Speaker 29: The reason that some people are not coming is because
• 54:16
  Speaker 29: we don't have room for 500 politicians. We have room
• 54:19
  Speaker 29: for the ones that have a close race if they're
• 54:22
  Speaker 29: slightly behind or slightly ahead or tied. But we don't
• 54:26
  Speaker 29: have rooms for people that are 35 points up and
• 54:29
  Speaker 29: don't need to be there. We said stay back and campaign.
• 54:32
  Speaker 29: Every politician that we've wanted to be there is there.
• 54:36
  Speaker 28: The event is part rally and part fundraiser aiming to
• 54:38
  Speaker 28: boost Republican candidates by highlighting Trump's first two years in office.
• 54:43
  Speaker 28: Vice President J.D. Vance is also expected to speak.

• 54:55
  Speaker 28: latest burst of back-and-forth strikes moving both sides back toward
• 54:59
  Speaker 28: open hostilities.
• 55:00
  Speaker 30: Following the American strikes... Iran launched missiles toward U.S. targets
• 55:04
  Speaker 30: in Jordan, according to Iranian state-run media. Jordan's military said
• 55:08
  Speaker 30: its air defense systems intercepted 18 ballistic missiles launched toward
• 55:11
  Speaker 30: its territories and two others fell in places where no
• 55:13
  Speaker 30: one lives. No casualties were reported. The latest strikes are
• 55:16
  Speaker 30: part of a dual economic and military approach by President
• 55:19
  Speaker 30: Donald Trump to bring an end to the war. The
• 55:21
  Speaker 30: Trump administration on Tuesday also imposed sanctions on additional elements
• 55:25
  Speaker 30: of Iran's aviation industry. targeting more than two dozen commercial
• 55:28

  Speaker 5: From KSEV, here's political contributor Ben Strewsand.
• 57:25
  Speaker 34: Most polling shows that Republicans are going to have a
• 57:29
  Speaker 34: tough time winning majorities in both houses of Congress in November.
• 57:33
  Speaker 34: Voters blame Trump for inflation and believe that many of
• 57:37
  Speaker 34: the necessities they need to purchase have become unaffordable. Two
• 57:41
  Speaker 34: out of three voters don't believe that preventing Iran from
• 57:45
  Speaker 34: building a nuclear weapon is worth the higher gas prices
• 57:48
  Speaker 34: that they are paying. Voters never give a president credit
• 57:51
  Speaker 34: for preventing bad things like a nuclear war from happening.
• 57:55
  Speaker 34: President Trump should realize by now that the Islamic Republic
• 57:59
  Speaker 34: will never agree to a deal that results in a
• 58:02
  Speaker 34: Trump win. The mullahs read the polls and see the
• 58:05
  Speaker 34: domestic political pressure to end the war. It's part of
• 58:08
  Speaker 34: their strategy. We should stop chasing a bad deal. This
• 58:11
  Speaker 34: does not mean that we should resume unlimited airstrikes, but
• 58:15
  Speaker 34: rather targeted decapitation strikes against their leadership, as the Israelis
• 58:21
  Speaker 34: used effectively.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: If Iranian leaders won't cut a deal, then let's get
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: new ones. The real leverage we.
• 58:28
  Speaker 34: Have against Iran is economic. We destroyed what Iran took
• 58:32
  Speaker 34: decades to build, their defense industrial base used to manufacture drones, missiles,
• 58:38
  Speaker 34: and nuclear weapons. Inflation in Iran is running at 40%.
• 58:43
  Speaker 34: The blockade collapsed the revenue stream used by the Revolutionary
• 58:48
  Speaker 34: Guard Corps, their security services, and all the government infrastructure.
• 58:54
  Speaker 34: If our blockade is allowed to continue and not stopped
• 58:57
  Speaker 34: by Democrats... and a few lame-duck Republicans in Congress, we
• 59:02
  Speaker 34: can eliminate the mullah's leverage over its people. We don't
• 59:06
  Speaker 34: need regime change to pressure them into a better deal.
• 59:10
  Speaker 34: for us.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Just perseverance.
• 59:13
  Speaker 34: Intercepting what leaks out via Iran's shadow tanker fleet.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Will speed the process.
• 59:18
  Speaker 34: The best guess is this pressure will take six months
• 59:22
  Speaker 34: to show results, right around.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: The time of the elections.
• 59:26
  Speaker 34: I'm Ben Strewsand, and that's my view.
• 59:31
  Speaker 5: Ben Strewsand, only on AM700 KSEV.
• 59:37
  Speaker 18: Thank goodness our weather experts are providing us with hurricane
• 59:40
  Speaker 18: tracking charts and reminding us to be.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Prepared for big storms.
• 59:43
  Speaker 18: But they overlook one very important thing, the damage and
• 59:46
  Speaker 18: destruction from broken limbs and uprooted trees. Call Louis Flory
• 59:49
  Speaker 18: at Ability Tree Experts today. My friend for nearly 40 years.
• 59:53
  Speaker 18: At 281-441-4179 and let him explain how this problem can
• 59:58
  Speaker 18: be minimized with professional pruning. You see, when the tree
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 18: canopy is too thick and dense, the tree can be
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 18: completely blown over and tree limbs broken, causing terrible damage
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 18: to the tree and maybe your home. Where tree limbs break,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 18: sap will ooze and that attracts harmful insects. So you
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 18: need to call Louis Flory today. at 281-441-4179 and have
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 18: his experts come out and professionally prune your trees to
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 18: withstand sudden storms that are so frequent this time of year.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 18: Visit their website at AbilityTrees.com. That's 281-441-4179. Ability Tree Experts,

  Speaker 3: I believe this is going to be our finest hour.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 6: Chris X Radio.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to the second hour of Chris
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: X Radio. Glad to have you here with us. As
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: we roll up until 6 p.m., we go each Monday
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: through Thursday, 4 to 6 p.m. And then on Friday,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the Amigos will take over from 4 to 6. So
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: we'll do our Friday show tomorrow. That's right. We manipulate
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: the time-space continuum, move our Friday show to Thursday, kick
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: off the weekend 24 hours ahead of everybody else. Lucas,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: do you like it when we kick off the weekend
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: before everybody else? Do you feel like you're getting to
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: be part of something special?
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 16: Well, yeah, because I get two Fridays.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, he gets two Fridays. Pretty good. By the way,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: was it just me or did that first hour just
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: literally fly by and we're already in hour number two?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 16: Well, it just turned four o'clock.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: Nope. Okay.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure. It flew by. We started off the program
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: with Matt Locke. from WBAP up in Dallas. He joined
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: us live from the GOP convention in Dallas as things
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: are just getting kicked off. He's getting some coverage. We're
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: watching a bit of momentum shifting, which is good. And
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: then I basically wrapped up the hour. We talked at
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour with Ron Reeder, host of
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Ron Reeder Digs the Universe, a guy who's on the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: political opposite side of the aisle, but he's a guy
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: I went to school with. And like I said, I
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: kind of grew up with him. We just grew up
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: in the Kingwood area. And it was a different universe
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: back then, which is interesting. Because it was. He talked
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: about the difference. He was from a conservative family, and
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: he was considered a conservative in high school. And then,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: of course, he went off and became more liberal. But
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: it's funny because he mentioned this, and it's very true.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Back when we were kids, there wasn't as much difference
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: between the parties. It wasn't so polarized as it is now.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: But Ron is a big fan of civil discourse, which
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: is interesting, and he also believes in freedom of speech,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: which is why he's always– he's never said anything other
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: than nice, kind words about me. And I'm on the
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: opposite end of the political spectrum where that usually leads
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: to attack and ridicule. And I've seen some of people
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: that– mutual acquaintances, people that we knew attacking him for
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: being kind to me. which is so, I was glad
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: to get him on the program. So anyway, so that
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: basically took up our entire first hour. Now we're in
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: hour number two, which means we'll open up the phone, guys,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: to you guys here on our hump day edition of
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: the program.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 33: 281-558-KSEV, 281-558-5738.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I want to get, there's a lot to talk about.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Oil climbed above $ 100 a barrel. This has been the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: highest since last May. So it's a little over $ 101
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: a barrel. So we'll get to that. We've also got
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Humper Biden has launched Slap Top or Money Sign Laptop.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: I prefer Slap Top because he's a bit of a
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: slap nut. And Humper Biden, well, he did this new
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Slap Top, a meme cryptocurrency that promptly crashed 98% in
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: one hour. Wonder who was left holding the bag on that.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: I guess he took a break from painting. Is anyone
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: buying his paintings anymore now that they can't get access
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: to the White House? Anyway, so we can get into that.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: And then also, as I mentioned, the GOP convention here,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: first one ever midterm convention here roughly less than two
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: months before the voting starts, less than a month, I guess,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: or about a month or so before early voting starts
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: here in the midterms. We'll see if this becomes a
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: regular occurrence, I guess, if it does well. Trump is
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: doing this, trying to get basically his face on the
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: ballot so people that support America first can get a
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: little momentum going into this election. It's been. head in
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: the other direction, you know, with gas prices and whatnot.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk, his America Pack, has launched a barrage of
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: new ads targeting Democrat Senate candidates in four of the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: most competitive races, using the hot-button topic of biological men
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: competing in women's sports and the left's overall embrace of
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: a radical trans agenda. As a line of attack. And
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, okay, so finally I'm able to get
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: a clip or two here from James Tallarico did a
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Fox News interview today. It aired around shortly before the show,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to get clips. But I want
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: you to listen. He was talking with Brooke. what's her name?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: She used to be a reporter here in Houston, and
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: now she's up in Dallas working for Fox News. Take
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: a listen to, I would say he's the king of flip-flops,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: but he's not. He is literally just running a campaign
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: against himself. Here's James Tallarico talking about men and women's sports.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 35: And what about biological men competing in women's sports? That's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 35: a big deal here in Texas.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 36: And I oppose trans athletes playing in girls' sports if
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 36: it endangers them. safety or fairness.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 36: Every sport has to be safe and fair. As a
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 36: former public school teacher, I care a lot about our
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 36: student athletes. I care a lot about our students. And
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 36: so I will oppose trans athletes playing in girls sports
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 36: if it risks safety or fairness.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: You know, that's funny because he voted against two bills
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: that would have prevented men from playing in women's sports.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: And he called it a far right wing conspiracy. Just
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: the latest in an episode of how to be a
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: flip flopper, how to run a campaign against yourself, to
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: lie to the people of the state of Texas in
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: order to get elected to parade around like you're a moderate.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: And he's not anything close to being a moderate. Anyway,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: this story is interesting to me now. Well, let's get
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: into it. Three anthropic researchers are now warning that the
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: AI systems that their industry is racing to build could
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: wipe out humanity before the decade is over.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 9: Huh?
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Axios is reporting that Jacob Coxon, C-O-X-O-N, resigned from his
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: job as an anthropic AI researcher on Tuesday specifically so
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: he could sound the alarm publicly. He posted his warning
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: on X shortly after leaving the company, quote, the people
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: by the end of the decade. This is not a
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible. But
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: I hear the same people express fear privately. No other
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: human activity poses this level of danger, Coxon wrote. Two
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: of his former colleagues backed him up in the same thread.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Evan Hubinger, who leads alignment science at Anthropic, wrote, Jacob
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: is correct here. We really do earnestly believe AI could
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: kill all humans. I personally think it is greater than
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: 10% within the next decade. It is greater than. A
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: 10% chance within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: trying its best, but we do not yet have a
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: plan to solve alignment for the superintelligence and are not
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: clearly on track to. Samuel Marks, Anthropic's scalable oversight lead,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: added his own assessment, AI developers believe their technology could
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: cause human extinction or similarly bad outcomes. This could happen
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: in the next few years. In general, the more senior
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: the employee, the more concerned they are. Now, Breitbart reported
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: this week that OpenAI's chief scientist warned the industry must
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: move forward with extreme caution. So my question to you
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: today is, Are you scared of AI wiping out humanity? 281-558-KSEV.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: 281-558-573.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Do you fear that this AI is going to take
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: over the planet and then Skynet will be launched and
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: then they're going to go try to wipe out humanity
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: and then we've got to have, you know, John.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: What.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Was his name on Twitter? John Connor.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Get to the.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 24: Chopper, John Connor. I have to get you to the chopper.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 24: I was a Terminator, but now I'm working on your behalf.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 24: Are we going the Terminator route? Now, here's the weird thing.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: I'm Generation X, and I read an article here a
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago that said the only generation now, Generation Alpha,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: the Millennials, the Baby Boomers, they're all terrified of AI
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: ending the world. Us Gen Xers, apparently we aren't even
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: remotely worried about it. Which makes me worry that one,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: are we just stupid and not getting it? But two,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: are we just not scared of anything? Realize the Gen
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: X generation was sort of the last generation that was,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: you know, free range kids. Mom would kick us out
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: of the house early on and say, don't come back
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: until sunlight, until sun goes down, until sundown. When the
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: lights come on in the streets, that's time to get home,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: get home in time to eat dinner. But we didn't
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: have cell phones. All we had was our bikes. And, man,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: we would go roam the neighborhoods. I remember where I
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: was raised down in the Kingwood Forest Cove area. There
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: was bike trails. We would go back through the woods
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: and go right around the lake. And then we would
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: go and there was railroad tracks. And we'd go right
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: on the damn railroad tracks. We were crazy. we weren't
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: scared of anything. In fact, we would go ride those bikes.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: And honestly, we might as well have been BMX champions
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: because that's how we, you know, paraded around as kids.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: And we were, so we weren't scared of anything. We
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: were free range. And then now we're free range adults.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: The Gen Zers are very different. And the Generation Alpha,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: I think, is what we're in now. They're raised in
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: completely different environments, a much more contained environment. They didn't
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: have that. We were the last ones. We didn't have
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: cell phones. We didn't have Internet. You know, we had
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: line lines and we would call our best friends and
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: go meet up on bikes and go ride around. We
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: were the last generation that really, I think, had that
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: sort of freedom. So I don't quite understand why we're
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: not scared of anything. AI, I don't think we're going
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: to get to a Skynet. I mean, I guess eventually
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: if we're foolish enough to turn over, say, I guess
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: the nuclear codes and nuclear power plants to AI, and
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: then it could get back because they've done these little
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: closed loop experiments with AI. And then the AI starts
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: plotting on its own by themselves, which is simply done
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: because of the programming issues. Actually, there's no such thing
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: as artificial intelligence. It is programming. Now, it is extremely
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: good programming, programming that has the ability to do research
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: and do things much faster than humans can. But I
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: don't think that it's going to try to wipe out humanity.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: Or even if it tried, I don't understand how it could.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: It would have to learn how to control the grid
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: on its own and keep the power flowing. Because once
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: you start removing the human element.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: Things go off the rails very quickly. I'll give you
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: a very short, sweet example. When you call customer service,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: now there are companies advertising you actually get to talk
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: to a human being. How frustrating was it initially to
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: talk to someone in India who has no clue what
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: you're talking about? Then it moved to the Philippines or both.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: And then, of course, you get caught in the phone
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: loops before the automated phone systems. And it's so frustrating
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: and so that it's costing people money. Business. It made
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: me change my cell phone provider. And now I'm with
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: one that when I call, I get a human being.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: I'm with Pure Talk. I'm happy with it. First of all,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: I cut my bill in half. Second of all, it's unlimited.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Third of all, every time I've ever called, I talk
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: to human beings. No AI.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 32: No AI.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: So people are starting to go that direction, at least
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: commercially or financially, I guess, with what they– so when
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: you lose that element– now, AI will have the ability
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: to mimic human beings, but it can't duplicate them. And clearly, obviously,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: we're at a point right now where there's absolutely no
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: chance of it taking over and doing what it does,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: wiping out humanity in its current form. But that literally
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: could change here in a few years as quickly as
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: it's perfecting itself and getting better. Are you scared of
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: AI wiping out humanity? I'm not even remotely. I'm not
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: scared at all. And I don't know if that's just
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: me being overly optimistic or just not scared of a
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: computer program. Cause you know, if AI gets too bad,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: I just reach over and unplug it. Now I know
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: in the future, that's going to be a little different.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: They're designing robots, but I look at the robots they're designing.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: They're pretty cool. And yeah, as far as, you know,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: hand-to-hand combat, I'm pretty sure the robot would win. But
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: when it comes to human development, Ingenuity, I will just say.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Human innovation and things. Humans are unpredictable beasts. Now, all
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: animals in the kingdom are unpredictable, but humans are exceptionally unpredictable,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: which makes it virtually impossible for AI to be able
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: to predict what we would do. As in going underground,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: the whole premise for the Terminator movies. We're fighting the Terminators.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: We'll use their technology to help us, too. But like
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: I said, it changes the dynamic.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 22: I don't know.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: I want to get your take on this. What do
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: you guys think? 281-558-KSCB, 281-558-5738. All right, let's take a break.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: We'll come back. We can talk about oil getting up
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: over $ 100 a barrel. Once again, if AI needs oil
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: to go, man, it's going to be too expensive. We
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: can get into that and then also get into Slap Top.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's new meme cryptocurrency that crashed 98% in one hour.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: I'm astonished that fools are still buying into the Bidens
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: on anything, especially a crackhead like Humper, who is still
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: doing drugs. He claims he's been clean. There's no way
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: that dude's clean. I'm not even a good person because
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: I've never done drugs or done any of that stuff.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: I can't even really recognize it. I can see it
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: so clearly written all over that dude's face that it's
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: not even close. By the way, after calling the laptop
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy, he's trying to profit off of it and
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: basically confirmed everything that was in it.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Interesting, huh?

  Speaker 21: all the scary stuff we've been through, it's still true
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 21: that timing is everything and the time to buy is now.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 21: But don't go looking without a solid pre-approval in hand.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 21: And this includes an application and a detailed discussion about
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 21: property taxes. If you didn't have the talk... You know,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 21: about property taxes, you really don't know what you're pre-approved for.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 21: That should make you wonder what else they may have
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 21: left out. Mortgages are personal. Let's face it, we're dealing
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 21: with your home and your money, and it doesn't get
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 21: much more personal than that. When it's the largest transaction
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 21: that most people will ever be involved in, imagine having
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 21: someone on your side looking out after you. What a concept.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 21: We audit your closing statement to make sure you're not

  Speaker 7: there's just one piece of advice I could give every homeowner,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 7: it's this. If your garage door spring breaks, don't try

  Speaker 7: to fix it. When they fail, they can be dangerous
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 7: without the right tools and the right training. When it

  Speaker 6: On The Voice of Texas.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Now, Lucas, did you pick staying alive particularly because I
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: just talked about AI wiping out humanity? Did you do that?
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 16: If I say yes, will you be impressed?
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: No, I'd actually be kind of pumped about it.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 25: Okay, but no, it was O'Rogan.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: Damn. I'm trying to give you credit, and you won't
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: even take it. All right, I'm still going to go
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: with you picked it because that's what we're talking about. Now,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Luke Cash, I got to ask you, are you scared
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: of AI wiping out humanity?
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 16: I mean, as scared as I am of the nuclear bomb.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm not even as scared of that. I guess
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: I grew up in a nuclear... Uh, do you think
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: that AI will wipe out a humanity here within the
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: next decade?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 16: Uh, no, I don't think so. We'd have too much
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 16: trouble getting to certain sectors.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I just, I don't see it. I just,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: once again, I know these people, these... The other thing
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: too is AI can only be as good as the programmers. So,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: and it's being programmed by humans. And I know it
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: has the ability to go through there and make itself
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: better and more efficient, which is being programmed into it,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: which is interesting. And AI is very cool on the internet.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: The things you can do with it as far as
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: building commercials and movies and videos and, you know, art
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: graphics and all that stuff. It's incredible. And it is
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: literally everywhere. but nothing about it looks even remotely human
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: except for there are the videos. Now they have the
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: younger actors and then they're joined by the older, the
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: older version of themselves, which is kind of cool. And
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: then people that have passed on and they have the
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: angel wings, which is kind of interesting, but there's always something.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: It's just a little inhuman. Now, of course it can
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: be human because it's not, but I, once again, I'm
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: a Gen Xer and I know you're not, you're a,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: you're a Gen Zer. Is that what it is?
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 24: Lukasz?
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 16: No, I don't think I'm that cool. I'm millennial, is
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 16: what I think.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're a millennial. I keep calling you Gen Z-er,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: even though you've told me multiple times. So you're as
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: close to, I guess, a Gen X-er as you can
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: kind of get. You're a millennial. So you're pretty darn well,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: like I said, you're within one generation, I guess.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 26: Oh, yeah.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 16: No, I grew up on the streets with the water
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 16: hose and no cell phones, too.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: See, I guess you grew up with your parents Gen X-ers?
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 16: No, they were before that. My older brother's a Gen X.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 16: He's five years older than me.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 25: Okay.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 11: They were 70s.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that'd make them baby boomers. So your parents
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: were boomers, but obviously they raised you and your brothers
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: like a Gen X. So, okay, because, yeah, you're more,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: like I said, I've known you long enough now to
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: know you're very closely tied to the Gen X. And
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: I wanted to just, because you have the older brother,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: but you're very similar. We'll just say you're one of us, Lucas.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: You'll be an honorary Gen Xer. How's that?
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 16: Hey, man, I appreciate it.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: Because I'm in control of that. I'm in charge of
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: all of that. Not so much. Anyway, but once again,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: us Gen Xers, it's weird because we're the, like I said,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: we were that last, that last thing without all the technology.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: We went through, it's weird because we've adapted to the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: technology pretty well. The advent of computers and cell phones. Well,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: let me back up. telephones that were wired to then
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: cordless telephones to then cellular telephones. And we went from
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: no computers to computers to really good computers, no internet
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: to dial up. Poor Steven 56K is still on 56K,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: but the rest of us have moved on to high
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: speed internet. So we've gone through, we were right in
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: the middle of the transition. I remember being so excited
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: when I got my first cell phone. I remember my
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: dad had his, you know, with, for his work, he
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: had a car phone and And I remember the first
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: minute was free. So when we would go somewhere and
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: I was stuck waiting on him sitting in the car,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: I would call all my friends and literally watch the clock.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: And when it got to 59 seconds, listen, I'm going
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: to hang up on you at 59 so it doesn't
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: charge us. Because the first minute was free on those
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: early phones. So I would do that because if I
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: got charged, my dad would have probably murdered me. Which,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, I have to, you know, today is
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: my dad, would have been my dad's 90th birthday. Now,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: he didn't make it out of 2021. He passed away
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: about a week before his birthday. Thanks to I've told
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: the story about the hospital screwed up and he went
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: in for a procedure and then they just screwed up
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: and killed him, which was very sad. But, you know,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: now hindsight looking at things, I find myself in a
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: different spot. Would have my dad have made it to
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: 90 because very few people do. And then, you know,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: what sort of health would he been? My uncle who
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: just passed away here last month, he he made it
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: to 85 and he passed away. But he was he
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: had dementia. And there was a very interesting article that
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: I read that said there's a reason why– have you
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: ever noticed that people, when they're getting towards their end
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: of their life cycle, certain things happen. I don't want
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: to be gross and go into it, but certain things
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: start happening with human beings as they're– if you're lucky enough,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know if that's the right term.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: But to make it to the point to where you're
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: transitioning– to what is next. And when you start transitioning,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: certain things start happening to your body, but also there's dementia.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: But also a very common occurrence is people who are
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: very close to passing away start seeing their relatives that
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: have passed away. And you would think, okay, that's a
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: little scary, right? Because they're ghosts. Well, no, it's not
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: that they're ghosts and they're not scary. It's a reassuring thing. Now,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: is it something to do? And this is people with
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: dementia and people with dementia sometimes have these moments of clarity,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: which could just be the disease itself. But the human
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: beings start seeing their loved ones that have passed. And
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: I was told my uncle, he was seeing my dad
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: and their sister that had passed away. My cousin was
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: telling me that, you know, she came in and he
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, did you see Bill? She was like, huh? No,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: he was just here. So I guess if you're lucky
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: enough to get to that point in the life cycle,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: are they actually seeing? Are they being visited from the
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: other side? Or are they simply hallucinating? Well, those are
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: questions we won't know. We don't know the answers. But
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: it turns out, the article that I was reading, I
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: may pull it up and use it as a Chris
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: X Files. I may do that tomorrow, actually. It says,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: once again, it's a comforting thing to them. they don't
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: sort of, it's, they don't recognize that they're gone, that
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: they've died, but they, in their minds, they know they're gone.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: So it's a different sort of environment and seeing different
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: things and seeing different lights and the way things happen,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: which once again, is just part of the natural progression
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: into what's next or is in them losing my friend
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: Duncan who passed away, I guess last year now was
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: earlier this year. No, I think it was earlier this year. Um,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Losing him, at a certain point, they said he is
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: now transitioning because he had had strokes and he was going.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: And when they start transitioning, there's a certain thing that
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: occurs that eventually leads them to.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 10: That.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: So it's a very interesting concept. These are answers I
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: don't know if we'll ever truly have those answers to
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: these sort of things. But I found it very interesting
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: when my cousin was telling me about, you know, my
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: uncle seeing my dad and his sister. Right before he passed.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: And it was as though they were just friendly and talking.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: It was just how it always was. And once again,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: he had dementia. Which, you know, you don't know. Is
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: that the dementia? Or is that... Then again, he also
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: had moments of perfect clarity. So, and that is a
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: similar thing that happens with a lot of people with dementia.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: So it's very interesting. Anyway, all right, we'll take a break.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Chris X Radio. We'll come back. I'll
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: get to the oil climbing above $ 100 a barrel. But
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow I'll do a Chris X Files with this article.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: But it showed how this is a common occurrence with
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: those who are passing. Even those without dementia, they start
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: seeing their loved ones that have already passed. And it's
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: sort of like they're welcoming them to what's next. Maybe
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: this is something that God has put in place for us.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: Who knows? When you start talking about the afterlife, it's
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: really hard to... to say that this isn't happening. This
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: isn't true. There's a lot about life that we don't understand.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: and of course, afterlife. The one thing in common that everything,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: every single human being has in common is that we're
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: all going to be there one day. All right, you're
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: listening to Chris X Radio. We'll be right back.

  Speaker 10: When it's time to replace a roof, some people put
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 10: it off until an emergency arises. This is Deb Tejada
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 10: from Tejas Roofing, your Houston roofing company.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 14: I understand.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 10: People tell me it's way too complicated and too expensive.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 11: Our customers tell us they wish they would have done
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 11: it sooner.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 10: I hear it all the time. Once the roof is replaced,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 10: they wonder why they waited so long because it's really
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 10: not that complicated. We show up on time. We quote
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 10: you a fair price. We replace most roofs in just
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 10: one day. At Tejas Roofing, we take pride in making
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 10: the process easy.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 11: The cleanup is phenomenal. People always comment that it looks
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 11: like we were never there. And now those customers sleep
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 11: better at night knowing your new roof has been installed correctly.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 10: When you know you need a new roof, don't put
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 10: it off. Call me now, Deb Tejada at Tejas Roofing, 281-251-0304.

  Speaker 8: And let me ask you a quick question. How many
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 8: times have you switched your health insurance in the last
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 8: few years? How many times have you wanted to switch
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 8: your health insurance the last few years? If you're in
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 8: good health and pay your own insurance, you don't have

• 1:30:32
  Speaker 8: limited HMO. And it's not some rinky-dink insurance company that
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 8: doesn't cover a single claim. No, this is real coverage

  Speaker 1: The Voice of Texas.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 6: The Voice of Reason. Chris X Radio.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 31: Sorry, I'm just jamming out.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: The rest of the cage. It's a great song, by
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: the way. Welcome back to Chris X Radio. We've only
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: got two segments remaining, so if you want to get in,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: you better hurry. 281-558-KSEV, 281-558-5738. I haven't seen a lot
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: of updates from the GOP convention. I know Trump's speaking
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: tonight about 8 o'clock our time, so I'm pretty sure
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: if you want to go on, you can watch it. So,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: but I've just got one of the local channels on
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: just watching local news. A little cooler out today. It's
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: only 89 degrees in my area, which is like a
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: cold front. I'll take the cold front. I'll take the
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: cooler temperatures. Man, we're getting into those fall temperatures. Oh,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: thank God. It was weird because it wasn't really a
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: hot summer early on. It was actually relatively cool. But
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: then about August rolled around. Well, July and August. And
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: it got hot fast. And it got really hot. And
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: it stayed consistently hot for a bit. And now hopefully
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: we're on the downside of that. By the way, in
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: the last segment I was talking about transitioning, dying, people
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: I'd lost. I mentioned it was my dad's. Would have
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: been his 90th birthday. which means we'll probably, I'll probably
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: get together with my brothers and family, maybe celebrate this weekend.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: I know the first few, um, uh, the very first one,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: because my dad literally died about a week or so
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: before his birthday, we got together. One of the saddest
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: stories that I can ever say was it's great to
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: have family and we've got a big family. So we
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: always get together. But after my dad passed away, we
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: would go to this place, uh, and have burgers. That's where,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: for some reason, the last five, six, 10 years, dad
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: started going there. We used to go to his, some
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: of his property that was out, but then there was
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: mosquitoes and it was hot. So he eventually transitioned to
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: this burger place and it just regular, they're good burgers,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: but we would go there and everybody gets together and
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: we get a cake and stuff. And then after my
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: dad passed, we got together for his birthday, which we
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: would have done had he not passed. And it was,
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: it was just so sad singing happy birthday to my
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: dad who wasn't there. And it was just like, that
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: hurt as much as anything. And now that we're five
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: years down the road, it's a little easier. The old adage,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget my friend Duncan, who's passed away now.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, his dad passed away many years ago.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: And I remember him being so strong for his mother.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: And he did it, you know, his dad's service was
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: one of the early funerals that I ever went to
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: as a young. And, uh, Later on, when my mom
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: passed away, my friend Duncan, my brother asked him, he said, man,
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: does this get easier? How does this go down? And
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: he said, well, he says, it always sucks. But over time,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: it sucks less. I've never heard a more accurate description
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: of losing someone. So over time, it does, it sucks
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: a little less. And then you realize, like I said,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: nothing is permanent. Except death and taxes. And as we're
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: talking about death. But it's weird to think that my
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: dad would have been 90 today. Sure wish we'd have
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: still had him. I would have loved to have celebrated
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: his 90th birthday with him. But anyway, we'll probably get
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: together over the weekend. With my brothers and maybe some
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: other family members. We'll see. I know the first couple
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: years that we had. I know the first year we
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: had a big turnout. Second year, I think it was less.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: And then was it last year or the year before?
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: This would be year five since he's passed. It was
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: just basically me and my brother. And I remember last year,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: last year was just me and my brother. And it
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: took me over an hour to get there because of traffic.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: So he was there. The place was about to close.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: But the guy who owns it knew my dad, loved
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: my dad. And he allowed us to stay there. So
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: we were able to stay there and talk and have burgers.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: So it's crazy. But God, I remember I got caught
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: in two different traffic jams because of accidents and stuff.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: It was horrible. So getting together over the weekend would
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: probably be good. probably be better. So anyway, but I'm
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: just getting text messages and stuff during the break. For
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: those of you listening, they're hearing me talk about the
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: passing and stuff, and I'm going to, I'll have those
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: Chris X files tomorrow, but something called, hold on, let
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: me read it. Make sure I get it right. Something
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: called the, the telepathy tapes. I need to go check
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: that out. So that could be very interesting. And I've
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: heard about these before and I haven't had a chance
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: to check them out. I need to go check it out.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to that sort of stuff, this
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: article that I, and I can't even remember where it
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: was from. I still have it. I'll go look it up.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: The one that talks about, you know, people being visited
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: by their loved ones and that sort of stuff. And
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: there is a very common theme when people are passing,
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: they often will see loved ones that have already passed.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: And another thing too, is there's always a light even
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: before they're gone. Sometimes they see a light, there's a
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: light on them. So they're in between maybe worlds in between,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: you know, here in the heavens and, They're working their
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: way across, so it's kind of interesting. But I'll do
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: that on ChrisXFiles tomorrow. All right, I want to make
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: sure I hit this a couple things here before we
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: run out of time on the show today because I
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: keep talking about weird stuff. Oil has climbed above $ 100.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: a barrel. It's the highest it's been since May. Its
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: surge today as fighting between the U.S. and Iran has
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: intensified in the Persian Gulf, raising concerns that the supply
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: of oil passing through the Strait could be reduced. It's
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: called Trump Strait, by the way. It's Trump Strait.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: Some people call it Strait of Hormuz. I call it
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: Trump Strait. It's definitely very, very straight, okay? If it
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: was Tallarico, it'd be the Tallarico crooked or leans to
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: the left.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: But it's not. It's the Trump straight. Brent crude futures,
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: the global benchmark for oil prices, rose 3.5% above $ 101.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: It's the first time it's been over that since May.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: In July, Brent briefly rose above $ 100. One year ago,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: Brent was priced at around $ 66 a barrel. The price
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: of West Texas Intermediate Futures traded at nearly 3.7% higher,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: around $ 96. 40. That's also the highest since May. The recent
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: escalation in fighting has renewed fears of global oil supplies failing.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: These are things that Trump is also working on. It'll
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see what he can get done. and
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: how soon before the midterms, before it's affecting. Because right now,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: like I said, people have been trained at gas prices, which,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: you know, they're still up, but it's not insane. Here
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: I've seen $ 3. 39, $ 3. 20, $ 3. 40 in my area, which is
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: still way too much. I'd prefer to be at lower.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: But as long as we're dealing with this terrible regime
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: in Iran, unless we want to go back to status
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: quo as it was before or actually solve the problem,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Trump seems to be ready to solve it. So we'll
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: watch how this plays out here over the coming months
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: heading into the midterms. I think it's going to be
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: a really tough battle for Republicans. If gas is still
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: up between $ 3 and $ 4 a gallon, it's going to
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: be really difficult for them. Humber Biden has launched a
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: new meme cryptocurrency app. called Slaptop. Basically, it's the dollar
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: sign and then laptop. But if you read it, it
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: looks like Slaptop. So I'm calling it Slaptop. That promptly
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: crashed 98% in one hour. Humper Biden, in attempts to
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: turn the laptop from hell scandal into a cryptocurrency called Slaptop,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: that's what I call it, upon launching the coin, crashed
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: 98% in its first hour of trading. Coindesk reports that
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: Humper posted Slaptop September 9th on X. with a video
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: referencing years of media coverage of the laptop from hell
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: that he left at a Delaware repair shop. Sources cited
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: by the journal say that the token will run on
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: base blockchain, which operates under the Coinbase Global. The coin
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: began trading at $ 190 in its first few minutes, but
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: then quickly crashed down to $ 2. 15 as of the writing
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: of the article, a drop of more than 98%. According
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: to Coinbase, coins were distributed to market makers and an
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: unknown address ahead of today's launch. Now, Humper first teased
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: the venture back in June in an ex post mocking
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: what he called a manufactured political distraction. Things we were
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: told to fight about me, laptop, vaccines, transgenders in sports, pronouns.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: We were told to fight about that. Last time I checked,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: there's actual dudes in sports. The only time they want
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: to prevent dudes in sports is when dudes are calling
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: out dudes in sports. He followed up with a reply
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: laying out his views on digital currency. Fiat is a sham.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: The banking class is corrupt. Decentralized digital currency and blockchain
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: are the inevitable future, and the incumbents will fight it
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: to the death. In July, Humper published a Substack post
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: walking through the contents of the laptop and his history
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: of addiction in unusually direct terms. So the laptop, here's
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: what was on it. 20 years of my life on
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: a version of it or a version of it. He
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: described what he called the accumulation of a life lived
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: while addicted. Messages sent at hours that don't belong to
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: anyone sober. Photographs I would never have taken in daylight.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: A record of every way a body can fail its
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: owner when the owner has stopped trying to help. None
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: of it is a single dramatic moment. It is accumulation.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: The slow daily work of an addict doing the thing
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: that is killing him because the alternative feels like dying faster.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: This is a guy who is doing crack. Doing cocaine.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: As well as crack. Cocaine. Multiple pictures and videos of
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: him with hookers and some say underage hookers. I don't know.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: I never saw the contents of the laptop. Saw clips
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: that I guess people had posted. But now Humper's trying
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: to cash in on the laptop. Remember those paintings he
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: was doing while his daddy was quote unquote president? And
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: people were buying those paintings for.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 9: $ 500, 000.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: They don't seem to be buying them anymore these days.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: I wonder why that is. Why would they stop buying
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: those paintings? Oh, that's right. You don't have access. So
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: now he's moved over to cryptocurrency, which I don't think
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: could be named better, at least what I'm going to
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: call it, Slap Top. All right, let's take a short break.

  Speaker 1: We got Chris in spring. Chris, hold on for me.

  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Tommy Mello with Garage Door Doctors. My mom
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 7: recently moved into a new home with a builder-grade garage door. Noisy, flimsy,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 7: and not built to.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: Last, so we're fixing that.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 7: Mom, you're my hero. When I was growing up, she
• 1:44:25

  Speaker 33: Chris X Radio.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: You know, Lucas, there's a new movie coming out called Hope.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: I think it comes out today. It's a South Korean movie,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: but it's got Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander in it.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: And I think it's a, I don't know if it's
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: an alien movie, but it's very much action just from
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: the trailer. I may have to go see it. Maybe
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: another one I go see in the theater. I don't know.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, dang.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 16: I'll go check out the trailer.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, go check out the trailer and tell me what
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: you think. All right, welcome back to Chris X Radio.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: You reached the final segment of the program. We're going
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: to wrap things up. We'll come back tomorrow, do our
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: Friday show on Thursday. get you geared up for the weekend.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: It seemed to get here a little quicker this week
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: because of the holiday on Monday. But nonetheless, the Amigos
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: always take over on Friday, so we'll do our Friday
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: show on Thursday. Tomorrow, maybe we'll have some Chris X files.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: Told you guys I was teasing that a little bit.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones before we run out of time.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Chris listening in spring. Chris, thank you
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: very much for hanging on. Welcome to Chris X Radio.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 28: Hey, buddy.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 3: Happy birthday to your dad.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris. I appreciate that.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 3: And it looks like the turnout in Dallas is already
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 3: getting a good turnout there, so that might dissuade a
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 3: couple leftists from not going to the polls. But, you know,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 3: I did want to talk about, you know, the commissioner's court.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 3: This is year five now of a deficit. I think
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 3: I already told you last week I pulled my poll tag.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 3: They can– They can come up. What are they going
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: to do? Like, I don't I don't even care at
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 3: this point. I am not going to give those leftists
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 3: a revenue. I'm just not going to do it. They
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 3: don't let us vote on anything. So why am I
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 3: going to why am I going to participate in this game,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 3: this extortion? So I'm encouraging the millennials just take your
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 3: poll tag or call your credit card company, cancel it.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 3: Let's show these people who runs the state of Texas.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 3: It's not leftist, okay? It's good citizens who care about
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 3: balancing the budget. If Austin can do it, the big
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: cities should be able to do it. What else is there?
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: You know, Chris, first of all, I won't recommend anyone
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: not paying the tolls. I'm all about freedom and that
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, but I don't want to do anything
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: that would encourage people to possibly get in trouble with
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: the law, and that includes you. But your point is
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: so salient and so valid because, once again, first of all,
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: what are they doing with the money? But second of all,
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: you talk about the five years of commissioner's court. Since
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: he's left, he's taken over, and now we're getting the
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: biggest tax increase in Harris County history. And are they
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: providing better services than they were before? Are we getting
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: any of that?
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: It's trash. And they hate guys like you that point
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 3: Well, uh, just to be clear though, Chris, it's not
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 3: really illegal. Who under what authority do they have to
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 3: charge us for a toll road that they said once
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 3: it was built and paid off, they were going to
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: stop charging. Furthermore, it's a sitting parking lot. Every, uh,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: it's fine. I don't, I, we got to do something.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 3: Cause Rodney Ellis is, he's running the show now guys.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: And, um, He's a godfather.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: And like Betancourt said, there are no statutes on the
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: books to constrain these people from the budget. We can
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: audit every ballot in Harris County, but we cannot make
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: them pass the balanced budget. And you're not going to
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 3: do that because there's too many Democrats in the Texas House. So,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 3: you know, I thought we were a supermajority state. I
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: guess we're a little short there, and that's unfortunate. But
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: we are a fiscal responsible state. These Darwin zones better
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: get it together. They better act like they care because
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 3: they're going to destroy our whole situation here. The Texas
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: bond ratings will deteriorate if they don't fix this.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 4: Thanks, buddy.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for the call, Chris. Always good to hear
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: from you. Yeah, I don't know. I just don't want
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: anybody spending a bunch of time fighting in court. And
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: you might win. I mean, I don't know. I wouldn't
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: suggest anybody do anything. And you're right. Once again, these
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be, once again, as you mentioned, when
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: it was paid off, but they always end up selling
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: them and then never stop charging for the toll roads.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: So there is that. All right, let's go to El
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: Marco here before we run out of time. Marco, thanks
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: for hanging on. Welcome to ChrisXRadio.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 25: Yeah, Chris, I'm just dovetailing off of that, and we
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 25: talked about it before, too, and he just mentioned it,
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 25: Chris did, that.
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 25: I don't know about refusing to pay tolls, but something
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 25: to precipitate to get legal action because it's got to
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 25: be presented in court. How can they be allowed to
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 25: continue to charge? There was never any other legal documentations
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 25: or there wasn't anything that said, oh, we, you know,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 25: even though it would be a lie, but they said, oh,
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 25: I guess we missed it. You know, it still costs
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 25: this much money to run the thing. I got to
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 25: believe that to expose it, you know, put it under the,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 25: like they say, the light of that and show it
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 25: that they could be exposed. And then at that point,
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 25: obviously it would open a big class action for everybody
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 25: that's been paying it all these extra years.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: You know, it's, thanks for the call. We're out of
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: time now. So, you know, it's, it, it seems like
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: that would be a bit of fraud if you were
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: going to do it that way. But once again, I
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: don't know what the legality is. I have no idea.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: It may be like the red light cameras may have
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: a real difficult time proving it in court. We got
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: Mike on line, but Mike, I don't have time. I
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: don't want to cut you off, so we don't really
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: have time to get to you. So maybe you'll call
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: in tomorrow on our Friday show on Thursday. We'll talk
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: about whatever, and that includes tolls if you want. But
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: we're literally out of time. Yeah, I don't know when
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: it comes to the toll roads. I really don't know
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: what the legality is. I know that Austin is nothing
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: but toll roads now, and that seems to be the
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: wave of the future. So it's amazing how our taxes
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: go to pay for the roads, and then we got
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: to pay to drive on the roads that our taxes
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: are paying for. Wait, what? It's... Once again, sounds a
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: bit like fraud, but then again, anytime you elect Democrats, well,
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: that's what you're electing. All right, gang, be safe. We'll
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: see you tomorrow for our Friday show on Thursday.
