Ilhan Omar Home Search, Paxton Debate Push and Callers on Iran and Gas · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

• 0:16
  The Voice of Texas, Houston talk radio.
• 0:40
  We are in fact the mob guys.
• 0:42
  I am Craig Coglianese.
• 0:43
  I get to say my name first for no reason at all whatsoever because he is the much more
• 0:47
  famous person.
• 0:48
  Well, I, I, I, and we should talk about that.
• 0:52
  First of all, I, I can answer, I can answer why.
• 0:55
  Would you leave my headphone volume, volume alone?
• 0:58
  You don't want me to come back to the studio. No, no, I can I wanted higher. Okay
• 1:02
  Yeah, I turn it down during the break so that you don't have to hear it as loud. I apologize
• 1:06
  I don't I don't I like like I was in radio when I I'll leave it were like before you were even thought I won't touch it
• 1:13
  I I
• 1:15
  Always had the headphones full blast in my ear. Okay, you're that guy. I got you
• 1:20
  I'm that I know that because of that I'm a little deaf now. Okay, that's fine. I'll leave it up turn it
• 1:25
  Well, you turn it down, I feel like the person going,
• 1:29
  what?
• 1:30
  I go to dinner with my family now, Craig.
• 1:32
  Here's the thing.
• 1:33
  All I hear are plates.
• 1:34
  Here's the thing, you're not gonna like this
• 1:35
  and you're gonna tell me to shut up and it doesn't matter
• 1:37
  and that's okay and you're right.
• 1:38
  You could turn it up yourself.
• 1:40
  I'm just using Riverside, the thing you're logged into,
• 1:42
  to turn it up and down for you.
• 1:44
  I figured during the breaks you'd want it quieter
• 1:46
  than during the segments and I have been forgetting.
• 1:49
  But I wanna explain it just real quick
• 1:51
  for anybody that wonders why the hell
• 1:53
  does my name come first in this show with Wayne Dolcefino, the award-winning, much
• 1:59
  more famous person.
• 2:01
  And you know what's funny is the belief was when we started this, you wouldn't be available
• 2:05
  as much in the morning.
• 2:07
  Yeah.
• 2:08
  And there are going to be days when I'm not available, but I like you.
• 2:12
  Yeah, I like you too.
• 2:13
  And I think the country is incredibly screwed up.
• 2:17
  Yes.
• 2:17
  And we accept things.
• 2:19
  Yes.
• 2:19
  And we all want the government to take care of us.
• 2:22
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 2:23
  So this is part of why I do this is my frustration level is so high.
• 2:31
  And I'm home at night alone when I'm here.
• 2:35
  And all I do is like reinforce and get so mad.
• 2:39
  Sure.
• 2:40
  Sure.
• 2:41
  I hear things like I heard, you know, I like that CNN show, the late night show.
• 2:47
  and the story is that guy, get his name.
• 2:51
  But last night, he went off on a rant
• 2:55
  about just how fake the Talarico conspiracy was.
• 2:59
  So yeah, I do wanna talk about that.
• 3:01
  And I really think it's interesting for a couple reasons.
• 3:05
  And honestly, just to go back real quick,
• 3:07
  if you can do the show from a hotel room,
• 3:10
  which you've been doing it from,
• 3:11
  then I think we might wanna rename it.
• 3:13
  It might need to be Mob Guys with Wayne D'Altrifino
• 3:15
  and Greg Dalman.
• 3:16
  I don't want to rename it.
• 3:17
  That's fine.
• 3:18
  But anyway, I will say this.
• 3:20
  The smoke is not fire for the Talarico story.
• 3:24
  It's not.
• 3:25
  There's smoke, but there's no fire.
• 3:27
  And the fact that the left wants to pretend there's no smoke is part of the reason I think,
• 3:32
  I'm not blaming them entirely, but part of the reason the right is acting the way it
• 3:35
  is.
• 3:35
  Because it is odd to give two different answers to how you decided to go about treating yourself
• 3:43
  for really bad fluid.
• 3:44
  It is weird.
• 3:44
  The flight that left close to a facility that would have potentially brought someone to
• 3:51
  a mental health clinic, it's weird.
• 3:54
  And it does kind of fit, even if people try to reject the timeline of it.
• 3:58
  Is it true?
• 3:59
  Does that mean that he went there?
• 4:00
  No.
• 4:01
  Anybody on the right that's pretending any of this is evidence of a thing is lying.
• 4:05
  They are hurting, I think, the conservative movement in behaving as though they know something
• 4:10
  that they don't know.
• 4:11
  But, pretending there's nothing is the reason this happens so much.
• 4:16
  I think a lot of actual voter people, Wayne, are just so upset because all they see in
• 4:21
  media is denial.
• 4:22
  And sometimes denials cause them to believe extreme versions of conspiracy theories.
• 4:27
  Yeah, people don't believe anything, really, that anybody says anymore.
• 4:32
  And so that leads to this sort of conspiracy theory.
• 4:40
  There's a conspiracy theory about everything.
• 4:44
  I do have one other quick thing I want to say.
• 4:48
  We really need Charlie Kirk.
• 4:50
  We do.
• 4:51
  I don't see, maybe turning points doing a lot of stuff I don't know about and I'm not
• 4:56
  picking on them.
• 4:57
  I don't know those guys, but I just don't see that the young part.
• 5:02
  I would love to see a commercial personally with younger Republican voices.
• 5:13
  The crowds in these conservative things are churches.
• 5:17
  My family goes to a Catholic church in Austin where my homestead is there.
• 5:25
  The place is packed every week.
• 5:27
  There is a revival in this country that should give us a spirit of optimism.
• 5:35
  Sure, there is short-term pain, but we're trying, Donald tries to, we, I don't work
• 5:41
  for Donald Trump, but Donald Trump, I believe we really figured out that over the last 20
• 5:48
  years, the corporations sold this country out.
• 5:53
  The government did.
• 5:54
  They did.
• 5:54
  Right?
• 5:55
  We globalized, we said all our manufacturing so it would be cheaper somewhere else because
• 6:00
  people like buying shirts like this.
• 6:03
  It costs like eight bucks or something, right?
• 6:05
  So it didn't cost eight bucks, but you know, I'm classy.
• 6:08
  But you know what I mean?
• 6:10
  People got used to it.
• 6:12
  They like lower prices.
• 6:14
  And so we basically destroyed a lot of our manufacturing.
• 6:19
  And you've got to bring it back somehow and the tariffs were used.
• 6:25
  Yeah, but the tariffs were great.
• 6:27
  They were great.
• 6:28
  That's right.
• 6:29
  To say, look at Don Corleone up there.
• 6:35
  Listen to the Don.
• 6:36
  Yeah, he would do it.
• 6:38
  He would say, you will make a deal.
• 6:42
  You won't have tariffs.
• 6:43
  Good.
• 6:43
  But you got to invest and you got to build factories and you got to build your Japanese cars or your
• 6:48
  Taiwanese cars or whatever, or your shrimp, whatever, you got to bring it here so we can
• 6:55
  create manufacturing jobs.
• 6:57
  That is not a one day thing.
• 7:00
  That is a process that will take years to evaluate.
• 7:06
  Now, you know what's so interesting about that too, because the tariffs got so crapped
• 7:10
  on so quickly by everybody on the left.
• 7:12
  And then eventually some people even on the conservative side, because they didn't like
• 7:16
  some of maybe the immediate harm that was happening.
• 7:19
  That's one of those moments where I think Trump was actually incredibly honest because
• 7:23
  he said in several different addresses that, yeah, there's going to be some short term
• 7:29
  pain, but the short term pain hopefully brings about a long term benefit to us.
• 7:34
  It's true that bringing back manufacturing jobs to this country now is going to be ...
• 7:40
  It's critical.
• 7:40
  It's going to be one of the most important things for the future of our country because
• 7:44
  one of the fights that occurs whenever countries disagree is what products I'm not going to
• 7:50
  give you, what products I am going to give you, how I'm going to ... We need to insulate
• 7:54
  ourselves from the idea that say China can cut us off over here or over there and we
• 7:59
  can struggle for some reason.
• 8:00
  We just need those jobs to exist in general because I do think some other jobs inevitably
• 8:05
  are going to go away.
• 8:07
  We need to be at the forefront of that.
• 8:08
  Go ahead.
• 8:08
  Yeah, I was going to say I have a sort of not in law, but someone who's related to someone
• 8:14
  who's related, whatever, who just got a 10 year guaranteed gig at a data center near
• 8:20
  San Antonio and it's a high paying job.
• 8:24
  He's moving his family there.
• 8:25
  He's going to buy property there.
• 8:29
  We've got to play this out, folks.
• 8:33
  We've got to bring jobs back.
• 8:35
  We've got to convince people that government is not there to pay their way.
• 8:44
  Is there for protection?
• 8:48
  It's sort of like how I feel in local money about cops.
• 8:53
  Right?
• 8:53
  Let's take care of the cops and the firefighters.
• 8:57
  Let's pick up the damn garbage.
• 8:59
  I have recommended multiple times to the mayor.
• 9:02
  I've been listening to you all the time, obviously, but I
• 9:05
  recommended many times that we need to privatize our garbage
• 9:09
  service. You know how much the battle would be to get Houston's
• 9:15
  garbage service now? There are technologies now that can
• 9:20
  redo this stuff. We could get everybody hired at this company,
• 9:24
  whatever. There would be a multi-billion dollar fight to
• 9:29
  get the contract, which would help us with our debt issues and our spending issues.
• 9:36
  Just flood control.
• 9:38
  It's not that complicated.
• 9:40
  No, no, it's not.
• 9:42
  Honestly, and flood control is just such, it's so messy.
• 9:45
  It's so terribly done right now that you have to beg for something to happen to change it.
• 9:49
  And honestly, and this goes back to what you were saying before, Wayne was at an event
• 9:52
  last night speaking to local Republicans in, I think, the Southwest side of Houston and
• 9:57
  And the discussion very quickly for you and for the people you were talking to there became
• 10:02
  there are issues that we're not talking about that we should be talking about, and there's
• 10:06
  a lack of focus on a more local level that's just missing.
• 10:09
  I did sense a sort of lack, not lack, that people are nervous and they're talking defensively.
• 10:20
  And that's, I think the mistake we're making is that we should be on the offense.
• 10:27
  These are the people that caused the problem we're trying to fix.
• 10:35
  We have done a lot of great things.
• 10:38
  Yeah, Trump has done a lot of things that he promised he would do.
• 10:43
  I know people are all freaked out about gas.
• 10:46
  I filled in the mic.
• 10:48
  I wrecked my car, of course, and I was filling in the red car.
• 10:51
  It was expensive, right?
• 10:53
  And I even noticed it, right?
• 10:54
  I didn't like cry at the pump, but I noticed it.
• 10:58
  So I get the frustration, but there are so many positives.
• 11:02
  Right.
• 11:04
  Well, I get the whole trans thing, but I want to see us end with a more positive message
• 11:10
  of what's coming because of what we've done.
• 11:13
  Yeah.
• 11:13
  Well, you know what's interesting too is this message that Trump hasn't done enough in two
• 11:17
  years is powerful enough to get people to vote on the left.
• 11:21
  And yet Republicans haven't been in control of Harris County and Harris County has been
• 11:25
  struggling for over a decade and it's not enough to motivate people here on the right
• 11:30
  to push our side to take power. If a two-year timeline is all you give to
• 11:35
  Trump, why have we given a 15-year timeline to Democrats in Harris County?
• 11:40
  That's the question I have. I don't think we have an answer. I don't know. We'll take a break. We'll come back.
• 11:45
  Alright, it's the Mob Guys on AM700K's YouTube Colborneers Day. Wayne D'Otiofino, both here and trying to save America one robot at a time.
• 11:59
  Yeah, that's true. All right. You were talking off the air about The Story Is, a CNN show
• 12:04
  hosted by Eli. He's got an X in it.
• 12:08
  I think it's Alex.
• 12:09
  Alex. Okay. Elex Michaelson, who is talking about-
• 12:12
  Well, I usually like.
• 12:14
  Tell me why you like him first. I want to understand that, because I don't watch a lot
• 12:17
  of CNN.
• 12:18
  I have thought that it's just kind of a West Coast-y kind of interesting take on the news.
• 12:25
  I like news. I can watch news 24 hours a day. I mean, I watch
• 12:32
  Rarely, do I watch anything other than football and baseball and news that's that's me
• 12:38
  Sure, right. Sure. I don't watch a lot of shows
• 12:41
  I just a few I like but I don't really do that. I like to watch the news at night
• 12:45
  I like to go to sleep with the news
• 12:46
  I actually leave my TV on because the first thing I want to hear in the morning. Mm-hmm is the sound of what happened
• 12:54
  I don't feel like what's going on in the world when I wake up.
• 12:58
  It's really important.
• 12:59
  Even though it may have nothing to do with anything I'm working on, it does shape my
• 13:04
  view of what I'm doing.
• 13:06
  I normally like the guy because I think he's pretty cool, but I really thought he went
• 13:11
  off the rails.
• 13:14
  Look, I get it if they were producing evidence, but to say everything is a big fat lie and
• 13:23
  where people should be sued.
• 13:24
  He said there should be lawsuits filed over this.
• 13:28
  That's crazy.
• 13:29
  Look, just because the candidate says denies it,
• 13:33
  and I'm not even really sure he actually denied it,
• 13:36
  but let's say he denied it, that's not evidence.
• 13:39
  No, it is not.
• 13:40
  I mean, in my business, I don't know too many
• 13:43
  public officials I'll walk up to and I say,
• 13:45
  what about this?
• 13:45
  They go, you know what, Wayne, you're right.
• 13:47
  I did give the contract to my cousin, Vinny, right?
• 13:51
  Even though he's never done this before, but you know, made a dollar contract, I gave it to him.
• 13:58
  Nobody does that. Everybody says that's not true, and I find out a lot that they're lying to me.
• 14:03
  Look, people lie. It's breaking news on the mob guys.
• 14:08
  By the way, we haven't mentioned something. I see that Elex Michaelson just covered this, or Elex Michaelson, excuse me, just covered this yesterday.
• 14:15
  I'm probably not going to play the audio. It looks like it's an eight-minute clip. But Ilhan Omar's house got raided, and we haven't mentioned that.
• 14:21
  We didn't mention it yesterday on the show.
• 14:23
  I don't know what you want to say.
• 14:24
  Was that for Columbus Day?
• 14:25
  Was that a Columbus Day gift?
• 14:28
  The funniest thing I saw on social media was a picture of President Trump holding up an
• 14:32
  UNO reverse card because he had his own home rated and then he rated somebody else's.
• 14:37
  But they are looking for evidence of all kinds of fraud, including did she marry her brother
• 14:43
  and commit some kind of fraud that illegally got her into this country in the first place
• 14:47
  or got her citizenship in this country.
• 14:48
  I don't know what will come from this. I do want to ask you the question
• 14:53
  Obviously somebody thought the raid was appropriate
• 14:56
  Well a judge signed up on it right judge side up right
• 14:59
  So do you think this is something that the left can use the way that I think it
• 15:04
  Valuably helped Trump to convince people that he was under attack
• 15:10
  Yeah, I look I think the Omar thing the Iran thing is is good because I
• 15:17
  I think a lot of people, even people in the middle, think she's not for us, that she wants
• 15:24
  a very different America than we do.
• 15:28
  So I think folks, I don't care if her house got raided, right?
• 15:32
  I mean, whatever.
• 15:34
  Obviously, a judge signed off on a warrant that was presented evidence.
• 15:40
  It must have been a judge that was not some right wing judge because otherwise you would
• 15:47
  already be hearing about it, right?
• 15:49
  And we go, ah, that was a Trump judge, man.
• 15:51
  It's all part of a big conspiracy.
• 15:53
  A lot of times there are investigations that start and have been going on before Trump
• 15:59
  even got into office.
• 16:02
  And I just think this immediate, oh, it's revenge.
• 16:08
  That's the new defense now, right?
• 16:10
  Yeah.
• 16:10
  We thought anyone was intact.
• 16:11
  They just say it's political.
• 16:12
  I'm getting ready to do a number of stories on the Fort Bend district attorney, Brian
• 16:17
  Middleton.
• 16:17
  He's one of five Soros prosecutors.
• 16:22
  I was hired by a political campaign.
• 16:26
  His opponent hired me.
• 16:29
  People are going to say, wow, your opponent hired you.
• 16:32
  You're just going to go out and do a hatchet job on him.
• 16:34
  Well, actually, we were told certain things.
• 16:37
  I already knew certain things existed and we investigated those things and I think what we found is
• 16:43
  Disqualifying for mr. Middleton Wow, I think mr. Middleton is as
• 16:48
  Violated the ethics of his office. That's what I think and you'll see it play out if you watch our site over the next three days
• 16:54
  And did his opponent hire me to investigate? Yeah, you needed help
• 17:00
  Yeah
• 17:00
  And we're gonna say that they had us now
• 17:03
  We don't often talk about who hired us because it doesn't matter.
• 17:06
  And just like my story, the campaign hasn't seen my story.
• 17:13
  It's going to be aired because I wrote it.
• 17:17
  I decided what to say.
• 17:19
  What about what you do and who asks you to do this changes facts?
• 17:24
  Nothing.
• 17:24
  Nothing can change facts and information.
• 17:27
  And if what you do is report facts and information, I love that you barely ever tell us who actually
• 17:32
  pays for this stuff because I don't care and people shouldn't care.
• 17:36
  All that should matter is that I judge your reporting, the multi Emmy award winning Wayne
• 17:40
  Dolcefino on whether or not it seems true.
• 17:43
  And if I think it's true, then I'm glad that you told me about it.
• 17:46
  If I think it's false, then I guess I can dismiss it, but there's really nothing else
• 17:49
  you need to do there.
• 17:51
  And we've been doing that.
• 17:52
  Go ahead.
• 17:52
  Yes, we give everybody a chance to talk to us like the DA wouldn't sit down for an on
• 17:57
  camera interview with me.
• 17:58
  And so he had a bike ride for domestic violence victims that's been going on before you got there at seven o'clock in the morning on a
• 18:05
  Saturday and I sent my people over there to say hi
• 18:09
  We're gonna get look. Here's the message my message to everyone out there
• 18:15
  We are going to find you if we want to find you. I always tell people when I call them
• 18:21
  look, why don't you sit down like a grown person, like across a table and just
• 18:27
  answer the questions because I'd rather not have to chase you.
• 18:32
  It's time consuming.
• 18:34
  Um, I don't run like I used to.
• 18:36
  Sure.
• 18:36
  Right.
• 18:37
  So I, I'd rather not have that moment, but I'm cool with having that moment
• 18:43
  because people have a right to hear from you.
• 18:47
  There are races all over this area, the local people, people don't even pay attention.
• 18:54
  There are people I know that don't even know there's an election.
• 18:56
  Well, let me ask you if the reason why is they think that people can't win.
• 19:00
  Is the reason that people dismiss local elections, especially in a place like Harris County,
• 19:04
  that no matter what you do, you think there's enough people that are showing up and punching
• 19:07
  D as far as just down the ballot and not even paying attention to what's going on?
• 19:12
  Yeah, but Harris County, and again, the demographics are changing, right?
• 19:16
  But Harris County up until a few years ago was still somewhat purpley.
• 19:21
  I mean, sure, we had that Democratic wave.
• 19:24
  And once there's a wave, it's hard to undo the wave.
• 19:27
  But we have all seen the results of what happens when you have only one Republican
• 19:35
  on the commissioner's court in Harris County, which is a county that's probably 52, 48, 48 percent Republican.
• 19:43
  yet we have 25% of the vote.
• 19:49
  Yeah, it makes no sense.
• 19:51
  Well, because we don't rise up.
• 19:53
  I mean, people who live in all these burbs in the county...
• 19:56
  Right? They need to rise up. Sure, they have protection. The constables are out there, right?
• 20:02
  But they're paying for it. You pay twice. You pay taxes. Plus, you got to hire some, you know, private security or the constables to protect your neighborhood.
• 20:13
  Sure.
• 20:14
  Um, you, you're, you're, you're developer major neighborhood look nice, but then you
• 20:19
  get out of the road and it's like pothole party.
• 20:23
  Right.
• 20:24
  Or you, or you know that, that the next big flood we have is just going to be moved somewhere
• 20:31
  else.
• 20:32
  Maybe we're still going to have it.
• 20:34
  Yeah.
• 20:34
  Oh yeah.
• 20:35
  So we're just spending money over hand over foot.
• 20:39
  I don't personally see the results of it, but it's our own fault because we should rise
• 20:47
  up and say, we don't want to spend all this money.
• 20:52
  I got bills to pay.
• 20:54
  You're right.
• 20:55
  The voter turnout in a midterm election is always the biggest problem.
• 20:58
  Voter turnout at a local level is always a big problem.
• 21:00
  People don't do it.
• 21:01
  And again, I want to repeat something that I was saying just before the break of the
• 21:04
  first hour is it's amazing that the message of your life isn't going as well as you thought
• 21:10
  it should right now.
• 21:12
  So you should vote and change who's in the office of president isn't strong enough of
• 21:16
  a message to be used at a local level because that's absolutely true at the local level
• 21:22
  that Harris County has given Democrats a lot of time to try to write whatever ship is and
• 21:28
  do whatever things they think they're going to do.
• 21:30
  I mean honestly if I listen to someone like Plummer right now tell me what she'll do in office if she gets elected
• 21:37
  How is it any different than Lena Hidalgo or anyone before go ahead? Do you people I bet you had 90% of people
• 21:44
  Maybe you don't even know who this woman is. She's getting ready to potentially win as the top administrator
• 21:51
  Yeah, look it 20 years ago when local TV was still rocking and rolling
• 21:56
  These tax increases would be in the news every day.
• 22:02
  There would be a revolt for me.
• 22:07
  Let's lather everybody up.
• 22:10
  41, let's think about it folks.
• 22:13
  I don't understand.
• 22:14
  The other thing is people do care.
• 22:17
  If you actually get people to pay attention to this message, if you talk about it enough,
• 22:20
  if we do it on this show, people are like, wait a minute, what's happening?
• 22:23
  It's not that they don't care as much as they're just so willfully uninformed and most of the places
• 22:29
  They'll go to get this information will refuse to talk about it because those places have probably seen
• 22:33
  That if you talk about these issues too much you get Republicans elected and they don't want Republicans elected to anything
• 22:39
  So they have to silence themselves on these issues or straight-up lie about them
• 22:43
  Yeah, look, I think it's one of the big challenges is how it is changing media environment
• 22:49
  Do you communicate?
• 22:52
  By the way, President Trump came out and said that Paxton should debate.
• 22:56
  I thought that was pretty interesting.
• 22:58
  Not only did Trump say that Paxton should debate, President Trump said that he's willing
• 23:02
  and ready to debate, which seems to be different than what the Paxton campaign is saying.
• 23:07
  I still would want to see a debate.
• 23:09
  I don't know if we'll get one.
• 23:10
  I know Tal Rico loved that since he's now apparently over his flu.
• 23:15
  Quick break, a lot more KSEV radio, the voice of Texas.
• 23:18
  And by the way, the new White House press secretary is just getting ready to have her first. Okay, cool
• 23:23
  We can play some of that. Katie Zacharia. Katie Zacharia. She's a devoted fan of Trump according to the media.
• 23:31
  I just sent a clip to Russell. It is from a Democratic strategist, Dan Turrentine, I think, or Turrentine.
• 23:39
  He is on a Sean Spicer show.
• 23:42
  So if you see what show it's on, a whole bunch of people are already going to dismiss it.
• 23:45
  But he actually is a Democrat and he says something in the first minute of this clip that I thought was really interesting
• 23:52
  Because essentially he's saying and this was yesterday
• 23:55
  I think afternoon when he was when he was talking about that
• 23:58
  Oh, you know what? I actually forgot we have a phone call on hold that we're supposed to get to yes
• 24:02
  Dale is on the phone. So here let me not tell you
• 24:05
  It might be our Dale Dale I really I even talked to you during the news break and then we didn't get John
• 24:12
  I'm really sorry. I got distracted. What would you like to say, Dale?
• 24:17
  That's okay. I've been drinking coffee and watching MSNBC with the sound down in the cap.
• 24:22
  There you go. But I don't really have much new to say. I just wanted to call and see if I could
• 24:28
  get Jimmy and George all stirred up like yesterday. Well, what do you want to say? Go ahead. Say you
• 24:34
  got nothing that you can try to throw out there that you think will get everybody else mad?
• 24:40
  Well, actually, I think that yesterday was a teachable moment.
• 24:44
  And I'm going to get serious.
• 24:46
  I think it goes to one of the problems in this country today.
• 24:49
  People want to talk about the polarization.
• 24:53
  Sure.
• 24:53
  Well, if you remember yesterday, you and I are not going to agree on the Talarico deal.
• 24:58
  We have your sources to prove what you think.
• 25:00
  I have my sources.
• 25:01
  Right.
• 25:02
  But we had a pretty civil conversation.
• 25:05
  Oh, yeah, we did.
• 25:05
  Right?
• 25:06
  Wouldn't you agree?
• 25:06
  We did.
• 25:07
  Yes, I absolutely do.
• 25:08
  Jimmy and George got on, and this is a problem
• 25:11
  on the left and the right.
• 25:13
  And Jimmy and George got on,
• 25:14
  they really didn't talk about Talarico.
• 25:16
  What was their main subject of conversation?
• 25:18
  You.
• 25:19
  Yeah, I was just using it.
• 25:20
  How stupid I was and how evil,
• 25:21
  and I think that's a problem.
• 25:23
  I think that most guys need to learn to-
• 25:25
  Can I, yeah, I think this is-
• 25:27
  I think this is a really interesting point, Dale.
• 25:29
  I see that it's an interesting point.
• 25:31
  I do wanna ask you kind of about it though,
• 25:33
  because I'm curious about something.
• 25:35
  Do you think sometimes, and this is something I've asked a lot of my liberal friends, that
• 25:41
  you can see the bias in the majority of media that people on the right are exposed to and
• 25:47
  get a little angrier about?
• 25:49
  Because the mass messaging is one-sided.
• 25:53
  And I'll give you a different example than, say, news media.
• 25:56
  My wife still loves award shows.
• 25:58
  She loves them, all of them, the Grammys, the Emmys, the Oscars, whatever it is.
• 26:03
  Wayne's, you know, making faces.
• 26:06
  She would be so impressed, Wayne, by the way,
• 26:07
  if she went over to your place and saw all those Emmys,
• 26:10
  because my wife loves that stuff.
• 26:12
  But when I watch these award shows, Dale,
• 26:14
  I'm inundated sometimes with political messaging
• 26:16
  from the left, and I don't want that.
• 26:18
  When I watch late night television talk shows,
• 26:21
  it's overwhelmingly on the left.
• 26:23
  And so I'm not trying to forgive the behavior
• 26:25
  of civility going a little bit away,
• 26:28
  but can you see the anger fermenting on one side
• 26:31
  because of the lack of comparable discussion?
• 26:36
  Well, you know, back in the sixties and seventies when Wayne and I were growing up, you're probably
• 26:42
  when you had three networks, you know, ABC, CBS, NBC.
• 26:47
  Yes.
• 26:47
  That may have been an argument.
• 26:50
  I think that may have been a valid point.
• 26:52
  But now I think there is many conservatives, you know, if you don't want to watch MSNBC,
• 26:57
  just watch Fox News.
• 26:58
  You know, there's newsmax.
• 27:00
  So I think that the conservatives have media outlets that they can go to.
• 27:08
  They absolutely can.
• 27:09
  They absolutely can.
• 27:10
  Go ahead, Wayne.
• 27:11
  That's not the point, though, Dale.
• 27:13
  The reality is we have created media silos that have narratives, right?
• 27:20
  If I want to hear 24 hours of how bad Republicans and Donald Trump and conservatives are, I
• 27:27
  watch CNN, right?
• 27:29
  If I want to hear the opposite side, I watch Fox.
• 27:34
  That doesn't help the country.
• 27:37
  It just, in my view, makes people madder.
• 27:41
  If I watch three hours of Fox, my level of thinking that a lot of people on the left
• 27:47
  are stupid, are idiots, are freeloaders, are lazy, want the world paid, want everyone to
• 27:55
  pay for their stuff.
• 27:56
  That doesn't help us figure out the best way forward.
• 28:01
  Well, and more so, and I want to add this to what Wayne said, and then I want to let
• 28:04
  you talk again, Dale.
• 28:06
  I don't think it should be that hard for me to get away from politics.
• 28:10
  I'm not saying that as a conservative, I want to go turn on Fox when I'm watching late night
• 28:14
  TV in order to get the other side.
• 28:17
  I want no politics, and there's very few places that do that now.
• 28:22
  Yeah.
• 28:24
  It's all about politics.
• 28:25
  Unfortunately, I'm afraid that ship is failed. I think people are so far deep into their silos that they don't want to come out.
• 28:35
  I mean, from the conservative friends I have, they don't want to come out. And the liberal friends also, I mean, I think everybody's convinced that whatever side you're on, the other side is wrong.
• 28:47
  And instead of saying, okay, well, we're going to sit down and we're going to disagree about politics.
• 28:53
  But at the end of the day, like y'all three seem like somebody, you know, we'd argue about politics.
• 28:57
  And at the end of the day, we would have said, hey, let's go have a beer.
• 29:00
  Yes. Like they used to.
• 29:02
  But I just, I think that's gone, unfortunately.
• 29:05
  And it's kind of sad because everything is painted in black.
• 29:10
  Everything's black and white now.
• 29:12
  Well, it is.
• 29:13
  everything. But it's also disintegrating a lot of
• 29:17
  families. I will tell you within my own personal family,
• 29:20
  there are failures that have resulted in members of the
• 29:25
  family not communicating with other members of the family
• 29:31
  because of this political thing. And it's because no
• 29:37
  affairs scale, but because you know, I see my nice guy. I
• 29:43
  I think some of the things you guys said, not all of it.
• 29:47
  Not Dale specifically.
• 29:49
  Some of the best things.
• 29:49
  No, not you.
• 29:50
  I'm not.
• 29:51
  Dale, like I said, he's a good guy.
• 29:53
  But I gotta be honest, when all of us Republicans and conservatives get together, we think you
• 29:59
  all are crazy.
• 30:01
  Well, it's the-
• 30:27
  It's true.
• 30:31
  to do the things to fix the problems that you're probably happy they're talking about.
• 30:36
  When you hear that things are too expensive, what on that side convinces you they're actually
• 30:41
  going to fix that?
• 30:43
  Sure.
• 30:43
  Well, tell me the thing that Democrats are going to do to lower prices.
• 30:49
  Well, you know, that is kind of a hard question.
• 30:51
  In my world, if I was elected president, I'd stop doing anything with Iran.
• 30:57
  I'd pull everything out, maybe get the gas prices down.
• 30:59
  And I would, uh, uh, do away with all the tariffs, but then that's easier said and done.
• 31:07
  Uh, what I, what I would say is I think what the Democrats have in their favor
• 31:11
  is when Trump got elected in 2024, it was, uh, we don't know if we like Trump,
• 31:18
  but things are so bad.
• 31:19
  Let's let's give him a shot.
• 31:22
  Let's give Trump a shot.
• 31:23
  If Biden screwed everything up.
• 31:24
  And I think that's what the, I think that's what y'all are running into now.
• 31:28
  Just like could it be any like I asked it talk about putting somebody on the spot
• 31:32
  I asked a conservative friend of mine the other day. I said, okay, tell me how
• 31:39
  Things would have been worse if Kamala Harris would have won the election
• 31:43
  And you know, he really didn't he couldn't come up with an ad. Oh, I think
• 31:47
  Wayne do you want to go first? Yeah, so we have open borders, right?
• 31:52
  We would president that no one on the world stage would respect or fear
• 31:58
  She would talk in circles. We would have word salad all the time
• 32:02
  We would have we would change the name of the show from mob guys
• 32:06
  toss a salad
• 32:10
  She is not that smart. Yeah, she's just simply not yeah, that's my sorry
• 32:17
  Well, we're not here well, I mean, no, no, that's my deal
• 32:21
  I imagine you can go back and forth and say the same thing about Trump.
• 32:24
  The point I was making though, and I thought it was really interesting that one of the
• 32:27
  two answers you did give was the war.
• 32:30
  Because I believe, Wayne believes, and I think most conservatives believe that the war will
• 32:34
  end after this election is over.
• 32:36
  And the reason it will end after and not before is because a lot of the messaging from our
• 32:41
  country has allowed Iran to think that it can hold out and get a political win, not
• 32:46
  a military win that forces us to concede things that Trump is not conceding.
• 32:52
  And when we don't concede those, even if it costs us the election, which is a heck of
• 32:56
  a sacrifice in all honesty here, I think it will still end because Iran is in an untenable
• 33:01
  situation.
• 33:02
  They can't go for years in the scenario we've created for them with the ability for us to
• 33:08
  limit them entire, even if they limit the rest of the world from an oil production standpoint,
• 33:12
  we can harm them more than they can harm everybody else.
• 33:15
  So they will relent and give in if they don't think they have leverage from now until November
• 33:20
  Yeah, I think the only way to get there is to let them have November pass. Go ahead Wayne
• 33:24
  No, I was gonna say that it this idea that let's just leave
• 33:30
  Yeah, right. Let's play that out. Yeah, we just leave and then the Iranians gonna say well the Americans are gone
• 33:38
  Let's just let's just let everybody use the straight-up. Oh, we actually have more calls by the way
• 33:43
  Yeah, they're gonna jack up the prices of oil forever.
• 33:47
  It is too late for that, as Dale said, the ship has sailed.
• 33:52
  Let's finish them off if they don't want to make a deal.
• 33:56
  Yes.
• 33:56
  And let's have some-
• 33:59
  It will be a defining point of Trump's second term,
• 34:01
  the legacy of it, is the success in Iran,
• 34:03
  if it goes past the election and we get what we want.
• 34:07
  We have Mike, we have Marco, we have one line open,
• 34:09
  I think, but we've called her lit up.
• 34:11
  Sorry if I wasn't paying attention earlier. I will get to him now on the voice of Texas voice of Texas
• 34:16
  I'm just gonna start calling it the Wayne and Craig show even though he said we don't need to change the name
• 34:19
  He has Wayne Dolcefino. I am Craig Coglianese. We have full phone lines. So we should get to the calls
• 34:24
  Let's do Mike first calling in about the Senate race. Mike. What do you want to say?
• 34:30
  Well, I've been listening to you guys and I want to talk a little step back just a minute cuz I agree with something you said
• 34:37
  that
• 34:38
  This war is not going to end till after the election.
• 34:41
  And you're right about that.
• 34:42
  Your analysis is 100% safe.
• 34:45
  I believe that that's going to be the cost of the Congress.
• 34:49
  The House has gone, in my opinion.
• 34:52
  I've been tracking politics for 40 years.
• 34:56
  In this condition, the way we're in now, the House has gone by 15 or 20 votes.
• 35:00
  I think you're right.
• 35:01
  To the Democrats.
• 35:01
  Democrats. The Senate is 50 50 right now, even places like Kansas. Republicans are only
• 35:09
  polling about five points ahead. And gentlemen, they have elected a Democrat in Kansas since
• 35:14
  the 30s. So I agree. The house looks bad. The house looks bad. The Senate is a toss
• 35:21
  up. Sure. Main number one cause right now, the Senate is gas prices. They're starting
• 35:27
  to emerge in the polls. Those low-income voters don't have had seen their gas
• 35:34
  spending on gasoline go up 50 to 75 percent depending on the part of the
• 35:39
  country you're in. They don't have money to buy the things they would like to buy
• 35:44
  for their kids and it's affecting them and it's affecting men on food. If I
• 35:50
  graded the war is not going to end it's going to cost us the Senate. Let me say
• 35:53
  one more thing about the Senate. If we lose the Senate, we lose the ability to
• 35:58
  put judges in office, which is extremely important. We have to carry
• 36:04
  Texas Senate seats because if we don't, we're going to lose the Senate for sure.
• 36:09
  That's why it's so important to put aside any petty differences that
• 36:14
  Republicans have from Cornyn and Paxton and vote for Paxton.
• 36:23
  It's crucially important.
• 36:25
  Well, and if people are annoyed about the stupid left-leaning commercials that we're
• 36:30
  getting right now from the California money that's flooded into this election, it'll get
• 36:33
  worse if Talarico actually wins.
• 36:35
  We'll have California money trying to influence even deeper races into this state in ways
• 36:41
  that just seem awful.
• 36:42
  Is there anything you want to say to that, Wayne?
• 36:43
  No, I just totally agree, man.
• 36:45
  I'm totally agree with your call.
• 36:46
  100% on board with you, Mike.
• 36:47
  Great call.
• 36:48
  All right, let's move on, because I know we're running out of time.
• 36:50
  Let's get to Marco.
• 36:51
  Marco is online. What do you want to say, Marco?
• 36:55
  I'm going to try and touch on real things and three things real fast. One, both of you
• 36:59
  talking about the most of the bias still on the left and Wayne talking about the silo.
• 37:06
  We've got one silo primarily, you know, it's box, but you've got all the other silos.
• 37:11
  That's the problem. And these silos have been bluncheoning and bluncheoning.
• 37:15
  And I don't know why so many people, if they don't listen to those stations anyway, are
• 37:22
  letting the one thing about the gas prices throw out all the positive things and other
• 37:27
  things have been accomplished because the gas still wasn't as high as it was under them.
• 37:31
  And the obvious thing that you guys keep pointing out and everybody should be aware, you go
• 37:36
  back to them, you're going to go right back to what caused all this in the first place.
• 37:40
  open borders, all these high price things, whether they push through Medicare and all these other things, and we're gonna go under.
• 37:50
  We're just literally gonna go under.
• 37:53
  I agree.
• 37:54
  So, I mean, how can so many people, you know, look at the one thing about gas prices and say everything else that's gonna come to the G.P.A. GDP, the job market, the trillions of dollars that's being invested into the country,
• 38:08
  all these other things and still say you want to go back to them.
• 38:13
  I mean, it just boggles my mind.
• 38:16
  Well, right, because Marco, the gas prices won't go down,
• 38:18
  and all that other stuff you said will go away.
• 38:20
  Things will get worse and gas prices will stay high.
• 38:21
  Right.
• 38:23
  Yeah, and just real quick, I just want to say, Marco is absolutely right.
• 38:27
  The last three weeks of the campaign, we have taken the trans thing like so much.
• 38:35
  Yeah.
• 38:35
  Right?
• 38:35
  Yeah.
• 38:36
  But we have to show people what we've done.
• 38:41
  This is a proof of performance time.
• 38:44
  You haven't done it all.
• 38:46
  But there are some really good things happening in this country.
• 38:50
  Marco, you got a lot of noise on the line.
• 38:52
  So yep, we've got to go.
• 38:53
  Keep continuing.
• 38:54
  There's really good things.
• 38:55
  There's some really great things.
• 38:57
  Sometimes you need to remind people.
• 39:01
  Sure, gas prices are too high.
• 39:03
  Right, but we're fighting a battle for the future for our children. We have we have done so many good things
• 39:10
  We have Marion on the line to Marion. What do you want to say?
• 39:14
  Hello, hello, you're on you're on KTV radio the mob guys
• 39:18
  Hi, um, so my maiden name's monobanos. I feel like a mob girl. Oh
• 39:23
  Hey, welcome to the show go ahead
• 39:28
  Yeah, so I'm at
• 39:30
  Wayne last night at the meeting and my question is y'all are talking about
• 39:35
  money coming in for races on local City Council Alejandra Salinas brought in so
• 39:42
  much money from out of state for local City Council she raised over $700,000
• 39:48
  Wayne I'm not Wayne Anthony Walsh

  From Houston Public Media did an article way in the beginning of the race when they first came out with campaign stuff.
• 39:59
  She had 280 something thousand dollars. 200,000 of it was from out of state, like right from the bat.
• 40:08
  Her law firm, Sussman Guffrey, she said, was the one that donated most of the money, $2,000 for partner at a time.
• 40:15
  This is for local city council. It's for a position that pays $80,000.
• 40:21
  donating her salary to her staff. Her current chief of staff is making a
• 40:29
  hundred and eighty nine thousand dollars. Her communications director that shows up,
• 40:35
  he's making like seventy eight thousand I think and the other two people on her
• 40:39
  staff are both making right around a hundred. So my question is how does
• 40:44
  someone fight or go against or run against that when that money is
• 40:50
  flooding in for a local city council's rate.
• 40:54
  Wayne, go ahead.
• 40:54
  When she's raising...
• 40:56
  Yeah, look, the reality is,
• 41:00
  and look at George Soros' money in Fort Bend County,
• 41:03
  for instance, he funded about $700,000 to get the DA,
• 41:09
  Brian Middleton elected in Fort Bend County,
• 41:11
  and police groups are starting to really complain
• 41:15
  about what's happening in Fort Bend County.
• 41:16
  The sad reality of our politics is you either have to be really rich to run.
• 41:25
  I guess the only positive is social media is not near as expensive to do.
• 41:29
  You can get on social media every day and rant.
• 41:33
  I sometimes just sit down at my table and just rant for a minute.
• 41:40
  Candidates need to start doing their own thing.
• 41:42
  It's not cheap, but it's also a way to reach people.
• 41:47
  The news doesn't care about politics locally.
• 41:51
  You will rarely see stories about the news.
• 41:55
  Sure, commissioners raise property taxes and they do that story, but they moved on, right?
• 42:00
  There's nobody really digging into why the hell we have to raise taxes, 41% in three
• 42:06
  years.
• 42:07
  I mean...
• 42:08
  Yeah.
• 42:08
  Yeah.
• 42:10
  So the answer is there is no answer.
• 42:14
  It's very hard when, especially on the left, and especially because she attacks ICE, that
• 42:22
  money will flow in.
• 42:25
  And the only answer to money flowing in is to get other money to flow in.
• 42:29
  Some of these local Republican candidates in Harris County, businesses are not really
• 42:34
  stepping up.
• 42:36
  People are not really stepping up, in part because they're afraid of the result this
• 42:39
  time, but also because there's just not a lot of money.
• 42:42
  We look at the Harris County Republican Party.
• 42:44
  They should be every day out there talking about this taxes, talking about Lesley Briones
• 42:50
  and his staff.
• 42:51
  The Salinas campaign that you're talking about, is that for the race that she won earlier
• 42:54
  this year?
• 42:55
  And I think her term ends in 2028.
• 42:58
  So if she's pulling in money now, she's not even actually technically running in the midterm
• 43:02
  election.
• 43:03
  She's actually up for election in two years. So that's even more surreal to me that you could conti that you could point to
• 43:09
  How this money's flowing over here that money's flowing over there and it's probably
• 43:13
  Going about the last I was talking about the last election. I don't know what she's doing this year, but I'm assuming
• 43:19
  Right. I'm assuming she's gonna raise money again and it's gonna be crazy again. So yeah, absolutely
• 43:23
  Well, thank you for the call Marion a Jeff. We're sorry. We didn't get to you
• 43:26
  We had another person on hold Jeff gas prices and we're just out of time as we can't get to him today
• 43:31
  Jeff calling tomorrow. I'd be a part of the mob guys. We'll
• 43:35
  take Jeff first thing. Okay, we'll take Jeff first thing.
• 43:37
  Great way to end the show all calls at the end of the show.
• 43:39
  Alright, Wayne, have a good day. I'll see you later. Everybody
• 43:42
  else. I can't see the radio the voice of taxes the mob guys
• 43:45
  every morning from seven to nine o'clock.
