Bonnie Wallace on School Library Books, Mamdani's Socialism and JD Vance on Voter Fraud · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And now, the mob guys break all your knees And
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Wayne Dolcefino on KSV Radio.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It is the Mob, guys, on KSV Radio.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: My name is Craig Colonese because Wayne Dolcefino makes me
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: call myself by my real last name. Wayne is on
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: special assignment, as I often say when he cannot make it,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: when he's not here.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of things to talk about today.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I do want to start.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I know this is Houston and not Indianapolis, and I
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: know that this audience has no idea who the person
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: is that I'm talking about. But I do want to
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: start one more time talking about a friend of mine
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: who passed away, longtime traffic reporter in Indy for WIBC,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a radio station that I worked on a lot over
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the last five or six years. as a fill-in host,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and often would use Matt, Matt Baer, all the time
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: on the radio. Whenever I filled in, he was essentially
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: the co-host of the show because I love working with
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: other voices. Part of the reason that I think Wayne
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and I get along so well is that both of
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: us seem like guys that like to have a conversation
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: with other hosts on the radio, not just with you,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the audience, but with anybody that works around us. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: often would bring producers on my radio shows, too, anywhere
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: that I've been. So, I got a chance with a
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: lot of other people that cared about Matt to say
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: goodbye to him. They even live streamed the thing, which
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: was pretty cool. So the only thing I will say
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: about it, because there's a component that is universal that's
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: not just about how talented and funny a guy was
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: who died at 48 years old due to a tragic
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: accident that involved use of alcohol and then injury and
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: then being unaware of how bad the injury was and
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: passing away.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: That's essentially what happened. But it's the other conversation.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: We were all having while we were there about people
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that might be suffering and that you don't know if
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: they're suffering.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And it's not alcoholism specifically. And I know here I'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: say this, too.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I know people do these sort of PSAs all over
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the place, especially in left leaning media. I grew up
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: on them, honestly, as a little kid, like they were
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: in all the cartoon shows. Like if you're not doing well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you need to tell somebody or check on your friends.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: But I think it's really been while I've worked with veterans.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: And we do have a veteran voice at 8.30 today
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: on the show that I've noticed it's not just one
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: side of the aisle trying to manipulate you emotionally sort
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: of thing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It's a real thing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Mental health challenges or alcoholism or whatever it might be,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: those issues, they get to a lot of people.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And this is the funniest part.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Well, not funny part, but this is the strangest part
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: to me is that– I asked ChatGPT to start combing
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: through all of my fill-in shifts at WIBC to find
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: funny moments of Matt Baer and I.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of them.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: There's a decent amount of moments where he says wildly
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: inappropriate stuff that shouldn't be on the radio.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll play some of them on this show. I
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: have a set of clips. You know what?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Screw it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can play a couple of those clips on
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: this show.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But anyway, it also showed me how often he would
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: make reference to not being mentally well. on the radio
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and he would say it in like silly ways like
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you know he was a single guy and he didn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: have um a woman in his life and he would
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: make jokes about how he never would but there was
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: a more significant amount of of man i should have
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: noticed this i should have understood that this was more
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: than just a humor moment and this was something else
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and i should have reacted to it kind of thing
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you know here i'm gonna play a couple these are
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: just a little it's like three minute teaser that i
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: put up on social media of matt bear reacting to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to crazy stories and None of them political that I
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: like to talk about.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: This will be on the 360 for Russell if he doesn't. OK, cool.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: That's all up and going. So let's go ahead and
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: play on that and see if these come out. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: they are not coming out. So let's see if there's
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: something going on over here. That's a problem with that
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: that I can check on and see.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I think I know what it is. So this problem
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: right here and now it might be really loud, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to try it again. Here we go. Is
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: there a spot in the single man's home that a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: young woman is not going to love?
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Anything with the door closed. Yeah. Don't go near.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: I mean, of course there are places. I mean, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: do a good job. I'm a pretty clean person, Craig.
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I'm impressed. Terrific hygiene.
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: Way to go.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I think the bathroom is kept differently by a single
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: man than anybody else.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Like, I think it's clean, but not clean.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: It's it's clean. But here's the thing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: There is going to be nothing visible when I leave
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: the house in the morning. When I come in for
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: morning rush hour, there will be nothing. Just in case,
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: in a rare moment, I say, hey, let's let's go
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: hang out at your apartment, watch Netflix or whatever else.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: I want that toilet. Nothing visible. Now, remember, I said
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: nothing visible. OK, there could be something somewhere else.
• 5:21
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: But you would have to inspect the toilet. You would
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: have to.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: If she's inspecting my toilet, I don't want to know her.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: You know, it just goes like that. We don't need
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: to be together, so that's fine.
• 5:30
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Look, sometimes when I do this show and you and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I get to chat on the radio, Matt Baer, I
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: love the things you say. And this is now one
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: of my favorite things. If she's inspecting my toilet, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: don't want to know her. That needs to be on
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a T-shirt somewhere with Matt's.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Photo on it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: If she's going through my top drawer, too, that's a problem.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Then you get out.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: She's right out.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. That's a problem.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: That's my collection.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: By the way, one other quick song idea I thought
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: for a colonoscopy, because why not? How about I Want
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: to Be Sedated by the Ramones? Yeah, I would want
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: them to hurry, hurry, hurry as well, by the way,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: as they're doing that whole process.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I want that over quick.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: I love the song. I mean, you can play that
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: at any time. You can play that when she does
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: the thing with the thumb, meaning the doctor. And that's okay, too.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: You know, it's not. I've got to schedule my colonoscopy.
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I have nothing after the thing with the thumb from
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: matt bear i i'll see you guys later tony's back
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: tomorrow this has been a blast you're an interesting onion
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: matt bear i don't know if you've ever been called
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: that before but you are you're a champion to help
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: people that deal with you know addiction issues and you're
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: also now colonoscopy guy yes i feel like you need a.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Third thing you need one more and then you got
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the full.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: What's that going for testosterone that's gonna be next.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: Uh Maybe maybe bowling at an early age, like in
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: your late teens or early 20s.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: I'm able to help with that. There are lots of
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: lots of opportunities to help, Craig.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: There are. You're great.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I'm actually like genuinely thrilled.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Those are just a couple of moments of Matt and I.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: He said that he wants to be known for balding
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: in his early 20s, late 30s as the third thing
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: for him to be known by. And again, I know
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: that this is probably not something that I should even
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: be doing here in Houston, but I can't help it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And that's just from like one show where Matt was
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: getting ready to have a colonoscopy. So we earlier on
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: in the show talked about the music that he would
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: request that they play during said colonoscopy.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And then you get the end part of it. He's
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: such a funny guy. He's such so funny.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: And I'll just say this again, because the point of
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: this is actually the deeper component to it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And I think that this definitely resonates. I assume it
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: resonates a lot.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Veterans, because they do the buddy check-in or the veteran
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: check-in thing, genuinely ask people how they're doing. I think
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: that's an important thing that maybe we don't do enough.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And it can be anybody. It can be somebody very
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: close to you in your life, somebody you barely know.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: But if you think there's anybody that might be struggling,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: you probably occasionally just need to ask them. And I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: think the value of that, by the way, is more
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: than giving them an opportunity to talk about whatever might
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: be a struggle because they might not open up. A
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: lot of people don't, even when you ask them if
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: they're okay. But I think the value is demonstrating that
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: people care. Because the last thing that's really cool about Matt,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: a traffic guy for eight years in Indianapolis, and before that,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: like 15 years that he worked at the station and
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: other capacities. So like a 20 plus year employee to
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: one place. I know, and I don't think anybody said
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: this publicly. I know he wanted more out of radio.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I know he wanted to be more than just the
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: traffic guy. And for whatever reason, I'm not blaming anybody,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: those opportunities didn't materialize for him when I think he
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: did deserve them. And so another component, another discussion to
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that is how full the arena was. They booked an
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: arena to say goodbye to one of the personalities on
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: a radio station, and a bunch of people showed up.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Like a ton of people were in what they called
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the comment section, which is their YouTube section crowd of people,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: along with the producer of the morning show, Carl. And
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: it's amazing because the only person who would be totally
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: unaware of the impact that he was having on the
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: community he lived in because of this medium that we
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: all love to do, that I and Wayne and everybody
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: else love to do, and Russell loves to do every
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: morning on his show. The other thing that Matt wouldn't
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: have believed is that that many people would show up
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to an event like that, that they'd care that much
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: about him. And it was a packed house, which is
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: really cool. All right, we're going to take a break.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I know, again, this is outside. of what a lot
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: of people on this station would be aware of. That
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: video is up on my YouTube page, Craig Collins Show,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: so you can go look at it at Radio Craig
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: C on YouTube, and there will be a much longer form,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: tons of jokes between Matt and I that we shared
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: over years of being on the radio together.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Quick break, a lot more. This is KSEV Radio, the
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: voice of Texas.

  Speaker 13: Gina Hinojosa voted to increase your property taxes. Not once,
• 11:17

• 11:25
  Speaker 13: be priced out of your own home. Gina Hinojosa is
• 11:28
  Speaker 13: too radical to be governor of Texas. Luckily, Governor Greg
• 11:33
  Speaker 13: Abbott has a better plan.
• 11:35
  Speaker 16: We have to stop the insanity and instead give you
• 11:39

• 11:42
  Speaker 16: cut your property tax bill in half forever. You're going
• 11:46

  Speaker 3: couple things that Wayne had sent me, and then one
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: that I had sent him, as far as audio goes.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: And one of the pieces I can't actually play because
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Charles Barkley says, bad word too many times. But it is,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: it's incredible audio. Charles Barkley, I think, did, what is it,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Chris Cuomo's podcast. And Cuomo, real quick, I don't know why,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: but Cuomo has now changed completely so that he's someone
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that believes a lot of the things that when he
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: was on CNN, he kind of attacked. I don't know
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: if it's completely, there's still some definite liberal in there,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: but a very different person. So it shows that depending
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: on who's cutting the check to Chris Cuomo, His opinions
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: are very much up for sale. But while he was
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: interviewing Charles Barkley, Charles said he often votes Democratic. He
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: considers himself an independent. But he kept saying that the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Democrats are saying some really stupid bleep. And he just
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: kept doing it. He's like, no, cops, that's a really
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: stupid bleep. No, this really stupid bleep. And so I
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: was going to edit that audio and play that for you,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: but I didn't have time. So I'll just tell you
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: that it's out there and it exists and you can
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: go find it because I do think it's pretty funny.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: There's also this audio. This is Theo Vaughn's podcast. Theo
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Vaughn is a guy that doesn't work for anybody.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: He's a younger person.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: If you don't know who he is, he interviewed President
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Trump when Trump was running for reelection and probably was
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: one of a couple podcast to stand people like Joe
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Rogan that helped more young individuals.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Also vote for Trump.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: It's probably part of the reason that Trump did so
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: well with those groups of people. He had on Zoran
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Mamdami and he asked Mamdami to define socialism. And I
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: did think this was at least interesting enough to play.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and play on this.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: About socialism, right? Because it's a buzzword, right?
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: Because socialism, will you define socialism for us? Because people
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: say it a lot and don't know what it is.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: And sometimes those people are me.
• 17:17
  Speaker 19: I'm so happy to be with those people right now.
• 17:21
  Speaker 19: Socialism to me, it means that you will have whatever
• 17:27
  Speaker 19: you need to live a dignified life. And that it
• 17:30
  Speaker 19: is the government's job to deliver on that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: So that is terrifying as an answer to that question.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I want to play that again. I do like Theo
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Vaughn joking that he doesn't know what the word means
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: because I also think he represents a lot of younger
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: people that love the idea of getting stuff for free
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: that also don't really understand what that means because this
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: is a poor definition.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: I want to talk a little bit about socialism, right?
• 17:53
  Speaker 20: Please.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Because it's a buzzword, right?
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: Because socialism– will you define socialism for us? Because people
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: say it a lot and don't know what it is,
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: and sometimes those people are me.
• 18:05
  Speaker 19: I'm so happy to be with those people right now.
• 18:09
  Speaker 19: Socialism to me, it means that you will have whatever
• 18:15
  Speaker 19: you need to live a dignified life and that it
• 18:18
  Speaker 19: is the government's job– to deliver on that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: All right, so let's actually define what he's saying correctly,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: because socialism actually means taking over the means of production.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: It means taking over the means of so many different
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: things that private companies own right now, regulating those things
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: as either a community or a state, and essentially impacting
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the ability for a whole bunch of people who built
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: companies to profit from the companies they made.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: And why is that bad?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Might be a question that I doubt many people in
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: this audience need the answer to, but it seems that
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Theo Vaughn And a bunch of liberals definitely need the
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: answer to this question. Why is it bad to trust
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: the government for everything? Because if you think that business,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: that business leaders, that the 1%, whatever you want to
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: describe them as, are selfish, they keep everything for themselves,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: don't give everything to you, all that kind of stuff.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: If you think that exists in capitalism, you make it
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: profoundly worse, that same concept, end socialism with government people
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: who already willfully waste a bunch of our money. Like
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: the government is the least responsible entity with your and
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I's dollars of anyone out there. The business people who
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: build a bunch of, you know, wealth by selling us
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: things at least have to still convince us to give
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: the money. The government can just take it. And in
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: this case, the government would just take everything else, the.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Factories, the tools, the whatever they need.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: They'd own the grocery stores, as you're seeing in New
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: York already, and they'd own everything else. And then you
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: create an even smaller group of incredibly powerful people who
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: just benefit themselves. These are the days where you have
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: the guy in the giant castle eating all of the
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: good food while everyone else is starving to death.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: That is communism. That is socialism.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: That's all the things that they're asking for.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: They're giving themselves more. When Mamdami is saying.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I want to do this for you, what he should
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: be saying is I want to do this for me
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: because I want to be the person in charge of
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: all the money and I get to decide who gets
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: it and who doesn't get it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: And guess what?
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give the most of it, a tremendous
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: amount of it to myself and my friends. It's just
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: it's crazy. But if you're someone because I do think
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the left and young people on the left respond to
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: the idea that life's not fair and some rich person
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: is the reason why that your life individually isn't fair.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: And there's someone out there who's hoarded too much. it's
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: almost reminiscent of toilet paper and COVID. Like when you
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: saw people go viral that took all the toilet paper,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of 20-somethings and 30-somethings, and I'm 40, but
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I think I'm on the tail end of the millennial
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: generation that believes this, envision the same thing, where there's
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: some successful person out there who's hoarded all the money
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: the way that they hoarded toilet paper during COVID. And
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: for that reason, I can't get any. For that reason,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I don't have the things that I want or the
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: things that I need. And that's so profoundly inaccurate. in
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: how simplified of a message that is, and as I said,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: how wrong of a message that is, but it would
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: be true if socialists took over. All the things that
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: you'd be terrified are currently happening in the version of
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: society we have would actually exist. There would be a
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: finite amount of people who had way too much control
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: over everything, and we've seen it a myriad of times
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: in the past. We know this is a terrible lesson
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: that we need to learn, and somehow we're still not
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: learning it, which is sort of surreal to me and
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I guess, sort of unsurprising. It's both surprising and completely
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: unsurprising that it's a thing that's happening. Now, by the way,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I'll just throw this out there, too. I am filling
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: in for Dana again today. I'll be on Dana Lash
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: today and Monday. So you can hear me from two
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: to four o'clock on this radio station just before the
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Amigos get going. And then also you can hear me
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: on Monday from two to four o'clock in for Dana Lash.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: One other piece of audio I want to play.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: This is J.D.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Vance.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: He is talking about bad policies that were enacted and
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: how voter fraud became a thing that was a problem
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: This is during a sit-down interview with Sean Hannity on
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Fox News. I do also kind of want to play
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: some audio from my cousin. My cousin sat down, Vince Colonese,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: with the vice president a few days ago. We played
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: it on his show on this station, so maybe I'll
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: get to that. And then finally, I guess one more
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: programming thing. I'm going to play a couple interviews from FaithFest.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: I was at FaithFest last weekend. I know Chris X
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: was there, too. We did a live show on Friday
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: and talked to a myriad of people. Connected to that event,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I did a couple extra interviews on Saturday, including one
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: with Bonnie Wallace, who is awesome.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: So I'll play that a little bit later on, too.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: But here's J.D. Vance on Hannity Show.
• 22:49
  Speaker 20: I'd summarize it, Sean, is they don't just want to
• 22:51
  Speaker 20: enact bad policy. They actually want to make it so
• 22:53
  Speaker 20: that Republicans can never win another national election.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: They want voter fraud.
• 22:58
  Speaker 15: They want to.
• 22:58
  Speaker 20: Destroy the foundations of American constitutional republicanism. They want to
• 23:02
  Speaker 20: make it so that we have another three or four states.
• 23:05
  Speaker 20: three or four states that happen to vote 25 percent,
• 23:08
  Speaker 20: 50 percent blue. So the Republicans can never again control
• 23:11
  Speaker 20: the United States Senate. So what the Democrats are actively
• 23:14
  Speaker 20: telling us that they want to do is transform our
• 23:16
  Speaker 20: country while simultaneously making it possible for Republicans to ever
• 23:20
  Speaker 20: win an election. This is not the time to sort
• 23:22
  Speaker 20: of gripe about all the little things. There are obviously
• 23:26
  Speaker 20: I think every single person who voted for us in
• 23:29
  Speaker 20: 2024 could find something where they wish maybe congressional Republicans
• 23:32
  Speaker 20: had gone further. passed the Save America Act, which obviously
• 23:35
  Speaker 20: the president and I worked very hard on. But the
• 23:38
  Speaker 20: challenge here is between— Democrats who want to destroy the country,
• 23:43
  Speaker 20: who want to permanently disempower you, make it so that
• 23:46
  Speaker 20: even if you vote Republican, your vote doesn't actually count anymore.
• 23:49
  Speaker 20: And Republicans who fundamentally are trying to solve the problems
• 23:53
  Speaker 20: that Democrats under Joe Biden created.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: That is the choice.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: So I actually.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know which one I'll choose in that situation.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I know which one I would pick.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: By the way, Chris Salcedo, who does a show on
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: social media that I'm not telling you to go check
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: out right now, even though it might be live right now,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: has titled the episode of his show, We Interrupt This
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Blue Wave to Bring You Reality.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And I couldn't agree with Chris more.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: With Salcedo that, yes, the blue wave reporting feels like
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: it can't be true because the ridiculousness of some of
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the things on the left and even Charles Barkley being
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: willing to admit them. But also how it's probably a,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: you know, psyop, as Dana or anyone else would call it,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: trying to convince a lot of Republicans to sit out
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: and not vote because they're doomed.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Their candidates can't win. So why even go?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: It's that type of thing that should actually have the
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: reverse effect. on a whole bunch of people out there
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: who want to see the blue wave not happen.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: You should definitely show up and vote.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: You shouldn't listen to anyone telling you there's going to
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: be a giant wave of the other side coming in
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: because they're doing that on purpose. It's fascinating as we
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: get closer and closer to this election. I do think
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: I'll say one last thing and then we'll take another break.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I do think Texas is being used a lot as a,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: a portion of that discussion. The Ken Paxton election, you know, Frico,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: a James Telfrico debate, or whatever it is, whatever the
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: inevitability of that one race will be, a lot of
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: the left is pretending that that's a sign that all
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: of these other candidates throughout the country will also lose
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: to radical, crazy leftists.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: And it's not.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: It's not even remotely close to a sign, and I
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: don't even think it'll happen. I do still think Paxton
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: will win. He'll squeak it out. But I do think
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: that'll occur.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: All right, quick break. A lot more.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: This is KSEV Mornings. The Voice of Texas. My name
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: is Craig Colonese, Wayne Dolcefino on Special Assignment. Coming up
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: after this, my interview from Texas Faith Fest with Bonnie Wallace.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of noise going on around.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Us, so the equipment I had removed the noise, but
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: you'll notice in the audio that there's a lot of
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: times where there's very quick nothing sounds, and then you'll
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: hear us talking again, so it's a little weird, but
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: it works.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I'll play that next on The Voice of Texas.
• 26:27
  Speaker 21: When it's time to replace a roof, some people put
• 26:29
  Speaker 21: it off until an emergency arises. This is Deb Tejada
• 26:32
  Speaker 21: from Tejas Roofing, your Houston roofing company.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 26:35
  Speaker 21: People tell me it's way too complicated and too expensive.
• 26:39
  Speaker 15: Our customers tell us they wish they would have done
• 26:41
  Speaker 15: it sooner.
• 26:42
  Speaker 13: I hear it all the time.
• 26:43
  Speaker 21: Once the roof is replaced, they wonder why they waited
• 26:46
  Speaker 21: so long because it's really not that complicated. We show
• 26:49
  Speaker 21: up on time. We quote you a fair price. We
• 26:51
  Speaker 21: replace most roofs in just one day. At Tejas Roofing,
• 26:54
  Speaker 21: we take pride in making the process easy.
• 26:57
  Speaker 15: The cleanup is phenomenal. People always comment that it looks
• 27:00
  Speaker 15: like we were never there. And now those customers sleep
• 27:02
  Speaker 15: better at night knowing your new roof has been installed correctly.
• 27:05
  Speaker 21: When you know you need a new roof, don't put
• 27:07
  Speaker 21: it off. Call me now, Depp DeHatta at Tejas Roofing, 281-251-0304.

  Speaker 22: At O'Hare & Company Real Estate, we believe there are
• 27:31
  Speaker 22: people in our country and other countries that are trying
• 27:33
  Speaker 22: to chip away at our freedom. We are taking a

  Speaker 22: stand against the tyranny that is happening and want to
• 27:38
  Speaker 22: protect what our veterans and forefathers have fought.

• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Hi, this is Michael Miller. Join me this weekend for
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: the Backyard Bay Radio Program. Now at our new time,
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: Saturday mornings at 9 a.m., right here on AM 700
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: KSEV The Voice.
• 28:15
  Speaker 18: From the KSEV Weather Center, today will be mainly cloudy
• 28:18
  Speaker 18: and humid with a couple of showers and a thunderstorm.
• 28:21
  Speaker 18: Any downpour can cause temporary flooding on roadways and in
• 28:24
  Speaker 18: poor drainage areas with a high of 89. Tonight will
• 28:27
  Speaker 18: remain cloudy most of the time with a couple of
• 28:29
  Speaker 18: showers and a thunderstorm remaining humid with a low of 74. Tomorrow,
• 28:33
  Speaker 18: expect more clouds and sun with humidity lingering and a
• 28:36
  Speaker 18: chance of a couple of showers and a heavy thunderstorm
• 28:38
  Speaker 18: reaching a high of 85. With the KACV Weather Center forecast,
• 28:42
  Speaker 18: I'm ACU Weather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: KSEV radio.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: It is the voice of Texas.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: KSEV radio on the voice of Texas. My name is
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Craig colonies. I'm probably not sitting where I should be
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: sitting to be centered. And I think that's the wrong camera.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: It's getting picked up over there. Cause I don't even
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: see me in the chair. I think it's that chair.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: So I don't know what camera that even is.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what camera that is. That's weird.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I can fix that too. All right.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Anyway, we'll get to that in a minute because I'm
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: not logged into that computer. I can't do it from here.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about our live stream. You might just see
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: an empty chair and not me, but I'll get to
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: that in a bit. I do want to play an
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: interview I have with Bonnie Wallace, but first I will
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: take a call.
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: Joe?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: What do you want to say?
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Hey, how's it going?
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: Good.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: Good.
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: So I was just.
• 29:48
  Speaker 14: Going to say what you're saying is exactly right about
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: people looking for someone to blame. And it's the same thing.
• 29:53
  Speaker 14: Same thing here, especially lazy leftists and lazy, you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 14: kids growing up whose parents didn't teach them a lot
• 29:58
  Speaker 14: of discipline. I mean, obviously, as a human, we all know, like, humans,
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: you know, as a human who has experienced other humans,
• 30:05
  Speaker 14: I mean, whether we blame ourselves or not, whether we're
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: disciplined or.
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Not, we all know that a lot.
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: Of people are naturally like that. Kids are naturally like that.
• 30:12
  Speaker 14: If you raise them up in snot-nosed, you know, leftist homes,
• 30:15
  Speaker 14: I mean, what do you.
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: Expect, you know?
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: 100%.
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: Amen.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I agree with that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and I just want to say, like, same thing
• 30:22
  Speaker 14: you were saying about everybody looking for someone to be
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: mad at and like, oh, look at Israel. They do
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: this and they do that. They do this.
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: And that's true.
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: All I was trying to say was the other day
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: was I started the wrong way for you, which was
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: like saying some of the things that, well, first of all,
• 30:37
  Speaker 14: the first thing I said is not like the way
• 30:41
  Speaker 14: you took it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: All right, here, hold on.
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: Hold on, Joe.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I got to stop you for a second. I got
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: to stop you for a second because no one knows
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: what the hell you're talking about. You called into the
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: show a couple of days ago. I didn't let you
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: speak for as long as I think you wanted to speak.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: for reasons that I laid out on that show. Anyone
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: who doesn't know or didn't hear that has no idea
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about now. But you are trying to,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: once again, bring up the conversation of Israel and make
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the point you were trying to make a couple days ago.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So go ahead. I don't know what the point was, but.
• 31:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't know.
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: We don't have time for all of it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think... We don't have time for all
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, no one knows what you're talking about.
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: So I have.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Gotcha. You've said that a couple times.
• 31:17
  Speaker 21: Okay.
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: He doesn't know how to be respectful. He's got to
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: learn how to be respectful. I don't need him to
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: tell me that I said something a couple of times.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Joe. I appreciate it. We'll talk about that
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: some other time.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I want to get to the Bonnie Wallace interview, but
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: I like that you called and agreed with some other stuff.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I think that I'm going to say this the nicest
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: way I can. I think that some other shows in
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: the station might have given everybody who calls it an
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: opportunity to speak as long as they want to. And
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: I really want you to get to the point because
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: I really want to be able to move from caller
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: to caller or subject to subject, whoever you are. I'm
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: not trying to be disrespectful. I just would like you
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: to be able to get to your points quickly so
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: that we can discuss them quickly because, and I think
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I talked about this on air once with Wayne, there's
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: a lot of data out there in radio that says
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: the longer we, and I probably do this all the
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: time too, man.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I do it as a host. You take too long
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: to get to your point, you lose people.
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: But all right.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Bonnie Wallace, amazing human. incredible things that she does
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: mostly to protect kids in the world of books that
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: are in schools. I thought that that was probably the
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: best conversation I did on the second day on Saturday
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: at Faith Fest last weekend. So here it is, the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: whole thing. I thought it was awesome. I'm very thrilled
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: to have Bonnie Wallace sit down with me. Bonnie, I'm
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: a relatively new Texan, and yet I know about you.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: You're welcome. Thank you.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: You're a person that's been doing a lot of things
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: for a little while now that a lot of other
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: people I think would be afraid to do. Can you
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: tell me very simplistically why has this been your mission
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: to try to inform parents about the insanity of things
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: that are on bookshelves in schools?
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, great question. So if you're a biblical scholar or
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: you just like to read the Bible like I do,
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: Joshua 1.9 tells us, have I not commanded you? Be
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: strong and courageous. Do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged.
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: The Lord your God goes with you wherever you go.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: So I start by saying that because people are afraid
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: to go speak at a school board. Listen, this content
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: is so harmful. It's so filthy that it's very embarrassing
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: to read. But if that is what God is asking
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: you to do for him, then I think we have
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: an obligation to be obedient and do that. So that's
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: why I do it. And it's not up to Bonnie Wallace.
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: It's about doing Jesus' work, following the path that he
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: set out. And the beautiful thing is he opens doors
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: and multiplies our efforts in ways we can never ask
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: or imagine. So the content, as you said, it's very,
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: very harmful. And the minds of our children are not
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: fully developed yet. And so they don't have discernment. And
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: I just feel.
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: God nudging me that I have to open eyes, and
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: so that's.
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: What I do.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mentioned it. I don't know if that
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: was on air or off air now.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I can't remember already, but you got kicked out of
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: a Houston event, a Houston Independent School District event, and
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: you were reading books that are in the library at
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: the school.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Can you fathom how we've gotten to.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: A place where there are advocates for that type of
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: content being allowed in the school, and yet you can't
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: show up and read it at a meeting?
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: Well, I think it's twofold.
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: Part of it is that the school board, I feel,
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: often does not know. They do not have any idea.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: And think about this. Houston, I don't know how many,
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: they have like 200 and something campuses. So I give
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: them grace because we all need grace. But I think
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: that they really don't know. So when I'm reading this,
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: they are freaking out. They literally were freaking out. The
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: board president wasn't there that day. It was the vice chair.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: And she's gaveling and saying, that's inappropriate, that's inappropriate. Yes,
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: I agree.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I agree wholeheartedly.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: Wholeheartedly agree.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Literally your point.
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: Completely inappropriate. Why are you placing that in front of
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: your students? The day I spoke, which was March 19th,
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: that book that I read was in three school campuses.
• 35:23
  Speaker 9: Three.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: The day of the press conference, Dan Patrick told me
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: that Mike Morath had told him that that book had
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: been removed. And I said, are you sure? Because I
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: don't think so. And he's like, well, can we check?
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: So I whipped out my laptop and I looked. And
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: it had been removed from DeBakey High School, one high school.
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: But it was still present in two. And guess what?
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: It had been added to six additional high schools.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's crazy.
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: It's demonic.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's demonic. And I'll say this.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: I think there are some people, and maybe you encounter
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: them when you do what you do, that genuinely believe.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: that they're helping people in allowing for some of this
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: content to be in schools. And for those individuals, I
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: am surprised there's not a willingness to have a conversation.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who won't have a conversation
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: who seem to know what they're doing. But you said
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you provide grace to a lot of people. And I
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: hear it sometimes when I talk to my friends on
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: the left. I lived in Chicago for 20 years.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of liberal people. Thank you. It's
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: very good. Better late than never. Honestly.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: And I'll also tell you that I know educators who
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: believe that they're somehow instilling more understanding in the young
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: people that might be reading this. And it's amazing to
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: think about how harmful that actually is to the kids themselves.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: As you said, children are being treated. I'm sorry, this
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: is a very long question.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm asking, but children are being
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: treated like adults when they're definitely not adults yet. And
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: so I can't also understand why that message isn't easier
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: for the other side to grasp.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Are you surprised? at how much pushback you get to
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: what you've been doing for the last few years?
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: Initially, I was. I thought when I found this content
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: in Llano County in the public library, that was the
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: first book I ever saw. That was in November of 2021.
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: I thought, no problem. It's going to be gone. And
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: it was. In the Llano Public Library, I told the
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: judge and the commissioners, they marched down to the library.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: They moved it out of the kids section into the
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: adult section. Never left the library. We got sued. I
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: got sued in that lawsuit for telling the judge. I mean,
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: you know, it's like, okay, that should be like, don't
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: I have a right to tell the judge something?
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: But, you know, God uses everything. And so it all
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: turns out for his good. And so, but I also
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: immediately checked the Llano High School Library. Now, you probably
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: being from Chicago, you might not have been to Llano yet.
• 37:45
  Speaker 16: No.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: 89% Trump in the last vote. We are very, very,
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: very conservative. One of the most conservative counties. We have
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: one school district. My daughter had graduated from high school
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: there in 2019. I thought, I'm not going to find
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: it in the high school. No, I found that and
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: significantly worse. The book I was reading in Houston was
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: also in Llano High School. And so the content did
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: surprise me. But the pushback You know, I thought I
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: could get it removed in six weeks or, you know.
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: We're almost in, we're past, we're bumping up to five years.
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: And guess what? It's still there. But we will have
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: victory in the end because we know the last page
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: of the Bible. And so we know that Jesus will
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: have victory. And guess what? He doesn't want this content
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: accessible to children.
• 38:34
  Speaker 13: No.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: You know what's really interesting?
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Brandon Gill was one of the keynote speakers here at
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: the event, Texas Faith Fest that you are also at.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: And there's a similarity between the two of you that
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I can see in a willingness to use the most
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: basic version of an argument to demonstrate the problem, which
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: for you is simply reading a book that's on a
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: shelf in a school. For him, it's describing abortion and
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: what it actually is. Why have we gotten to a
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: place where that's necessary? Why are there so many people
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: that are blind to the entirety of this? Because I
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: do think there's a lot of parents who even today,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: even with all the work Bonnie Wallace has done, Completely
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: unaware of still what's going on in the schools.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Why is that happening?
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: 100% right. There are. And I reference the Bible for everything. Sure.
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: And so the Bible describes people having scales over their
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: eyes and being unable to see truth, unable to hear truth. Listen, that's...
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: what we're dealing with. They see these books. Listen, we
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: have books that have sex with animals. We have books
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: that have sex with dead bodies. A brand new one
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: just got published a few months ago. Sex with Teachers,
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: two books describe sex with Jesus in graphic detail.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know that.
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we have books. that are prohibited to prisoners in
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: Texas due to the graphic illegal sex acts.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: But they're in junior highs and high schools all across
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: Texas and America, not just Texas. This is not just
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: a Texas problem, right?
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: And not just a big city problem, but why can
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: they not see truth? I think it's because they do
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: not have Jesus in their hearts. And so until we
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: have Jesus, we can't see truth. The light comes from
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: him and him only. And so, um, I speak out.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: When you have a parent that hears your message, when
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: you go to a school and you inform someone, what
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: is that interaction like for people that come up to
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: you and say, thank you, Bonnie.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: You just told me something I didn't know.
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: Listen, I give my email to everybody. I give my
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: cell phone on my card to everybody. I have calls
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: every single day. And most of them are new people
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: that have just met me or heard me like at
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: Faith and Family Fest here. I've given dozens and dozens
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: of cards. I will have phone calls from these people
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: wanting to engage. And listen, I get a lot of
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: bad phone calls, too. But I take them and they
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: tell me I need to die and I need to
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: drink Clorox if I really love Jesus. I can go
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: live with him today.
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: All these nonsense things. But it is important. This battle
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: is worth fighting for.
• 41:10
  Speaker 19: And.
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: If you are living a life where you're not taking
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: any fiery darts or flaming arrows, you're probably not holding
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: Jesus's hand.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Fair enough.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: You made me feel good about all the angry messages
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: I get on social media now for a second. Um,
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: you know, it's interesting as you're talking about this and
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: as you're saying that you get hate, you strike me
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: as a very kind person, like sitting down, getting to
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: talk to you, getting.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: To meet you. You're a driven person. You're a person
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: with a, with a goal, but you're, you're kind.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: And I often am sort of floored with the, the
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: level of, of hate on the other side. Because for
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: people like you to be told to kill yourself or
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: that they want to hurt you, that to me is
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: also kind of mystifying. I know that I might seem
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: naive in a lot of the questions I'm asking you,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: but I can't help it. I don't understand the violence
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: on the left, and I'd like for you to try
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: to help me understand that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: You know, that is such a great question, and I'll
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: tell you why. So many of these books that our
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: children are now reading, think about it this way. All
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: of the good literature, the really good literature, has been removed.
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: The books that are now in our libraries for children
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: have graphic violence against children. They have, literally, they have
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: a doctor. There's a book with a doctor walking up
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: to an infant, twin boy, sticking a needle with serum
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: into his brain, killing him, and then putting the baby
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: in a box that's labeled waste, trash, right? And so
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: we're planting these. demonic, deep, dark seeds into the minds
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: of our children. And what do we expect? We have
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: a book series. Get this. We have a book series
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: called Assassination Classroom. There's 21 volumes. Almost every school has
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: almost every volume. Every volume has a teacher who brings
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: a serrated knife or a gun to school to kill
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: her students. or a student who brings a serrated knife
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: or a gun to school to kill the teacher and
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: the fellow students. Why are my tax dollars buying this?
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I can't fathom that.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, because I'm sort of, again,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: intrigued by the way that all this works and the
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: way that the pushback and everything occurs. How long do
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: you think this fight will take? Like, for you, you've
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: been at it for five, six years, I think you said.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: In some ways, you probably feel More should have been
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: done by now, but I think you're having an incredible impact.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: So I want to ask you, do you see a
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: light at the end of the tunnel?
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's such a good question. I will tell you
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: that in the very beginning, I was going to many
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: school board meetings, maybe 30 or 40 or something, and
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: I wasn't seeing good consequences, good results. And so I
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: was walking around in the wilderness one day complaining to God,
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: like the Israelites, And I was like, why are you
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: having me do this? I'm not having any consequence. I'm
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: not having any results. Why am I wasting my time?
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: It's very embarrassing, you know. It's always just whining and complaining.
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: And God very clearly said, Bonnie. And it was quiet.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: And then Bonnie. And he said, Bonnie, my job is
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: to convict the heart. Your job is to open the eyes. Because,
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: you know, I was trying to convict the heart. I
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: was trying to get the books out. the only way
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: to get the books out is for the heart to
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: be convicted that this is wrong. And so when I
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: learned that my job was only to open eyes, I
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: was like, okay, God, I can do this. Here I am.
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: Use me. And so it changed really, it changed my
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: tactics and it changed my joy because now I can
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: be joyful even if the books aren't removed. But listen,
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: God's timing is always perfect. Even when Bonnie's timing is
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: rushed or, you know, we, we want everything in a hurry.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: And so, um, God multiplies our efforts. So I think,
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: you know, Lieutenant Dan podcast, having me on there and
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: then having the press conference, I think it opened so
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: many eyes of people that maybe had no idea parents,
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: even legislators. And so I am just so hopeful that
• 45:14
  Speaker 8: in the new legislative session, we can get a bill
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: that has teeth. The bill we got passed last session,
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: the SB 13, I helped, you know, Angela Paxton, I
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: guided her on some things that, It really needed, the
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: first thing it really needed was a penalty for noncompliance.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: And she didn't want to put it in because she
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: really thought that just having a law would be good enough.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: But this is- Unfortunately, no.
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: But unfortunately, no. And this is a battle between good
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: and evil. Evil doesn't just cede ground. It's not just
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: going to give up what it's got. And so we
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: have to have a penalty. It's going to take one
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: school board, one school district being in trouble- And guess
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: what will happen? Every other one will get in line
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: and they will get rid of it. Because I really
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: feel like so many of them, the school board members,
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: the superintendents, they just they don't know. They're shocked. And
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: I go sit down in front of the superintendent and
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: I say, you know, this book, this book. And he's like,
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: Miss Wallace, we don't have those books. And I'm like, OK,
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: let's get on your laptop. Let me show you how
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: to get into your.
• 46:16
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: And I show him.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: You show him what books are in his library. That's amazing.
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: And they're shocked. But guess what? They call their librarian.
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: Do we have any bad books? Do we have any
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: harmful books? Do we have any profane or indecent? And
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: they say no.
• 46:29
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Before I let you go, just a couple other questions.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: I would like to know how long you've been working
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, because it seems like that's
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: someone that's been helping you for a bit.
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: I met the lieutenant governor on May 7th of twenty
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: twenty two. So Llano County and me got sued on
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: April 26th of 2022. And we were looking for an
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: attorney to help us because we're quite a poor county.
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: We're not a wealthy county. And we're very rural and
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: very conservative. And I went into the newspaper office that day.
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: The reason I know the day is because the next
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: day I was leaving to Israel for six weeks. And
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: so I had this urgency.
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: And a friend of mine said, will you come to
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: the newspaper office with me? I'm like, oh, come on.
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: I didn't want to go, but I didn't tell her,
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: and so I went with her. And it was God
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: nudging me. And so Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick was in there.
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: I said, oh, my gosh, my name's Bonnie Wallace. He
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: had no idea. I'd never met him. I'd never been
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: to the Capitol. I'd never done anything political. And yet,
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: other than vote, I guess people consider that political. But
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: I had never missed a vote. But I showed him.
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: That one first picture that I saw.
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: The best pitching bait.
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: It really exploded.
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: And he called the attorney general. He said, Ms. Wallace,
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: I'm so sorry. I'm right in the middle of an interview.
• 47:53
  Speaker 19: Of course.
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: And I said, great, I'll talk fast so you can
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: get up to your interview.
• 47:58
  Speaker 19: Sure.
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: And so he called the attorney general. And Ken Paxton
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: actually petitioned to join. I think it's called enjoin the case.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: And the federal district judge in Austin, Robert Pittman, would
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: not allow that. So we had to go it alone.
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: It cost us over almost a million dollars. But it
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: was worth it because we had such a victory at
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: the Fifth Circuit. And listen, we need bold and courageous
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: politicians to stand against evil when they see it. He's
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: really been the first one to recognize. And so I'm very, very,
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: very grateful for him.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: For Dan, it sounds like Ken Paxton is another person
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: that you'd advocate for quite a bit.
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: A hundred percent, yes. Definitely not Tallarico.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely not.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: My last question for you, and it's something that I
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: didn't know coming into this event, but I'm learning from
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: this event. I'm hearing that a lot of younger people,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: I'm a millennial, I'm 40. My generation's terrible. I've heard multiple,
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: and it is.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Not all of them. Not all of them, but enough.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: But I've heard the younger generation coming up is better.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: There's more open-mindedness, more discussion there. And I wonder if
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: that's because of people like you. But do you find
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: that to be true? Are you noticing more 20-somethings that
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: seem open to some of these conversations or no?
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: Well, I travel around with Pastor John Amanchukwu, who's a
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: 41-year-old pastor from North Carolina. and he reads porn to
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: school boards just like I do. And we were in
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: Palm Beach last week together. We're going to Colorado Springs
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: shortly together. And so we can't paint with a broad brush, everybody.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: There are very courageous and bold 40-year-olds. Having said that,
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: I have a 25-year-old daughter who's in medical school, and
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: she has a group of girl friends, you know, friends
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: who are female, very, very in love with Jesus and
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: seeking Jesus. And listen, that's the only solution.
• 49:57
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: That's the only solution. And so I meet people of
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: all ages, young parents in their 20s, and they have
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: little babies. And they're like, I want to protect this
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: child from this content that you're showing me. And so
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: how do we do that? And they're engaging. They're going
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: to their school boards. They don't even have a kid
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: that's in school yet. But my bill, SB 13 with
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: Angela Paxton, it gave us the right to go and
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: challenge again. Because the school boards had changed it and
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: not let a parent who no longer had an active student,
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: a current student, challenge.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: Well, before I let you go, I usually also open
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: the floor to anything else you'd want to say, anything
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: else you want to talk about.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: You don't have to.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: If you feel like we covered enough, that's awesome. But
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: if there's something that I missed that you'd like to
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: tell our listeners, the floor is yours.
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely. Listen, I've been in over 4,000 libraries online.
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: I have yet to find one clean library. So what
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: I want your listeners to know is that the content
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: that I'm talking about, not every book, not every book
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: is in every school, but every school has books. And
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: so if you want to engage, they can send me
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: an email. They can go on to recoveramerica.com. Send me
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: an email. I will reach out. I'll help them audit
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: their library. I will help them learn the challenge process.
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: I'll even come to their school board meeting.
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: Go, Bonnie.
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: I am engaged. Listen, I'm not going to stop until
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: we have no filthy books available to children in America.
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: Our tax dollars are buying this. And so what are
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: we going to do about it? We have to stand
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: to do something, and God will multiply our efforts.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be awesome. That is Bonnie Wallace. She's incredible.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: There actually is a great, and I think we referenced
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: it just a little bit, but a great podcast on
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Lieutenant Dan, the podcast that Dan Patrick does, Lieutenant Governor
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: of Texas, of course, and owner of this radio station
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: that is not telling us at all to talk about this.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: There's no information from, I just really like his podcast.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: His Bonnie Wallace interview is incredible. And I think it's
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: getting close to like a million views on its own.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: It's getting closer and closer to being as consumed on
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: social media as as his President Trump interview, which definitely
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: says something. But I just love that there are people,
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: and I know she's not alone, Bonnie. I know there's
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: other people like her that are out there fighting to
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: try to demonstrate the flaw of the thinking of the left,
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: because the left can say anything they want. What the
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: left seems to hate a whole lot is demonstrating the
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: reality of those thoughts to them. Like, this thing that
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: you said out loud was a terrible thing, and here's why.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: When they see that, they try to run away. They
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: try to hide.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: And so I think Bonnie is doing it the best
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: way that I've heard anybody is doing this. Show up
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: at the school board meetings with the books that are
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: inside the libraries in those schools and read parts of
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: them out loud and get yelled at for that being
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: too inappropriate for that venue, which is surreal. Because if
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: it's inappropriate to be read out loud to the school board,
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: it probably also isn't appropriate for an underage person a non-adult,
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: a minor, even in high school, not an adult human,
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: to be reading from the library where they got the
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: book at school. That seems to be an obvious one-two jump.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: And I don't know why we can't do more of those,
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: you know? But it seems very often that there's these
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: one-two jumps in the world of thought and then reality
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: and politics that the left's like, stop paying attention here!
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: How dare you listen to any of this? I do
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: have one more interview that I want to play from FaithFest.com.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: that I thought was pretty good as well. So we'll
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: get to that in the next hour. Vince Colonnades will
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: be on the show at 8.15. And then the entire
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: second half hour of our Friday show is dedicated to
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: a veteran. So we are doing a veteran voice again
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: today on KSV Mornings, The Voice of Texas.
