Speaker 1: Where should I begin?
0:00
Speaker 2: Can we talk about this?
0:01
Speaker 1: Say, what are you trying to do?
0:03
Speaker 3: Beyond the usual controversial talking and welcome to prepare yourself.
0:14
Speaker 4: Okay for Craig now preparing my dew spectacle here.
0:20
Speaker 5: Particulate stimulated, gets your writing.
0:25
Speaker 1: There you go, you start becoming a team.
0:30
Speaker 6: Is the Craig Pullin Show.
0:33
Speaker 1: Jesus, oh God, no talking to het.
0:36
Speaker 2: This station is well the ultimate power in the universe.
0:39
Speaker 4: Your host's a good man, Craig.
0:42
Speaker 1: That's right. This is the Craig Collins Show. K S
0:46
Speaker 1: e V. The Voice of Texas.
0:48
Speaker 7: Thrilled to be with you from six to seven o'clock
0:50
Speaker 7: every single night on this radio station. So much stuff
0:54
Speaker 7: to talk about in the world of politics, Texas politics.
0:59
Speaker 7: Ken Paxton made a Hearentans on Fox over the weekend
1:01
Speaker 7: that I thought was interesting Saturday in America, I think
1:04
Speaker 7: was the show that he was on with Kaylee Mcananny,
1:07
Speaker 7: who was a great press secretary herself, one of several
1:11
Speaker 7: that President Trump has had. And it's interesting to see
1:14
Speaker 7: who will be next in that role. But lots and
1:16
Speaker 7: lots of things, as I said out there, to discuss.
1:19
Speaker 7: I do want to start with this though, and Chris
1:22
Speaker 7: Salsato will be joining me tomorrow on this show, which
1:25
Speaker 7: I'm very excited about. I'm happy that he's going to
1:27
Speaker 7: make some time in the evening to jump on and
1:30
Speaker 7: talk to me. But what a run at KSV for
1:33
Speaker 7: Chris Salsado fourteen years as our morning show host. He
1:37
Speaker 7: announced this morning, if you don't know what I'm talking about,
1:40
Speaker 7: that he will be stepping away at the end of
1:42
Speaker 7: this week. Salsato has been a fixture of a political
1:47
Speaker 7: conversation in Texas his television show whatever for so long,
1:51
Speaker 7: and that's not going to change. I think he did
1:54
Speaker 7: simply tease what's coming up next for him, and I
1:58
Speaker 7: think more information about that will likely be revealed. I'm
2:01
Speaker 7: probably gonna press him on it when I have him
2:03
Speaker 7: on the show tomorrow. I don't know if he'll tell
2:06
Speaker 7: me anything, because he probably can't until it all gets announced.
2:09
Speaker 7: But I think he said there's gonna be like a
2:11
Speaker 7: soft opening to what he does next next week, and
2:15
Speaker 7: then the week after that a big opening to what
2:17
Speaker 7: he does next. He also mentioned that he had hoped
2:20
Speaker 7: that KSV could factor into the equation as far as
2:23
Speaker 7: his next opportunity, and unfortunately that didn't work out.
2:26
Speaker 1: The way he might have hoped it. Who knows.
2:28
Speaker 7: Who knows if Salsato will wind up being a voice
2:31
Speaker 7: you hear occasionally or often somehow via this radio station.
2:35
Speaker 7: It's so weird. I'll say this for anybody who's sad
2:39
Speaker 7: this week that Salsado is departing. You never know in
2:43
Speaker 7: this industry what happens. I heard Chris X joke about
2:46
Speaker 7: whether or not he's fired at the end of this week.
2:48
Speaker 7: Who knows if I'm fired?
2:49
Speaker 1: You never know. But you also don't know who's coming
2:51
Speaker 1: back through a door.
2:53
Speaker 7: Which has been one of the more amusing things that
2:55
Speaker 7: I've seen throughout my radio career is that you watch
2:57
Speaker 7: people go, you wave him goodbye, you wish him good luck,
3:00
Speaker 7: and like three months later, you're sitting next to them
3:02
Speaker 7: at a meeting and they're like, ah, awesome, you're back.
3:05
Speaker 1: So you never I don't know. I'm not saying that
3:07
Speaker 1: I have.
3:07
Speaker 7: Any reason to think that like Salsado will return a
3:10
Speaker 7: few months after leaving. I just I think it's interesting
3:12
Speaker 7: this industry and the way it works so consistently, the
3:16
Speaker 7: way that you see that so wildly often that I
3:19
Speaker 7: figure I at least mentioned it.
3:20
Speaker 1: And again we'll talk to him about it tomorrow.
3:23
Speaker 7: But he deserves a bunch of praise for what he
3:25
Speaker 7: did for years here, for fourteen years here. KSEV Radio
3:30
Speaker 7: is certainly a place and Salsado talked about it that
3:33
Speaker 7: is an outlier in the radio industry, meaning that it's
3:36
Speaker 7: an independently owned company when you're seeing a lot of
3:39
Speaker 7: independently owned companies go away, that is still fighting, that
3:43
Speaker 7: is still making its way here in this community, one
3:46
Speaker 7: of the biggest cities in the country. Again, all just
3:49
Speaker 7: echoing stuff that Salsado said this morning, and so it's amazing.
3:53
Speaker 1: And he said that he would have loved to have.
3:55
Speaker 7: Retired here if things could have worked out differently than
3:58
Speaker 7: they did. And I think Barrett Media and others it
4:00
Speaker 7: so industry like press covered it things that some of
4:05
Speaker 7: us radio people pay attention to. You that you listening
4:07
Speaker 7: probably don't pay that much attention to. But anyway, just
4:10
Speaker 7: one more time, congratulations on an incredible run for Salsado
4:14
Speaker 7: and his morning show. And I'm sure he'll be missed
4:17
Speaker 7: not just by our listeners and our audience, but by us,
4:21
Speaker 7: by the people that he got to know here. For you,
4:24
Speaker 7: not necessarily me, I'm the new guy.
4:26
Speaker 1: Although I definitely.
4:27
Speaker 7: Got to talk to Salsado quite a bit on the
4:29
Speaker 7: phone throughout the time that I've worked here, but I'm
4:32
Speaker 7: sure everybody else who knows him quite a bit better
4:34
Speaker 7: and for quite a bit longer. And I think he
4:36
Speaker 7: even referenced having conversations last week the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick,
4:41
Speaker 7: who owns the place, and that's pretty cool. I've gotten
4:44
Speaker 7: to meet the Lieutenant Governor once, and I also thought that.
4:47
Speaker 1: That was cool.
4:49
Speaker 7: And probably not if I call Dan Patrick someone that
4:52
Speaker 7: he'd answer the phone, not because he dislikes me.
4:54
Speaker 1: He probably like, who the hell is this guy?
4:55
Speaker 7: No, I'm kidding, But anyway, I'm sure we'll hear more
4:58
Speaker 7: from Salsado all week via What's Next. And I think
5:02
Speaker 7: he even referenced that he and Russell might get a
5:05
Speaker 7: little emotional on Friday, because Russell are our program director
5:09
Speaker 7: has also been his producer for all fourteen years of
5:12
Speaker 7: his run, which is almost unheard of in radio as well.
5:16
Speaker 7: One for a program director to also be running the
5:18
Speaker 7: board and producing stuff, but two for you know, a
5:21
Speaker 7: team to be doing the same thing for as long
5:23
Speaker 7: as they have, so you know, one more time. I
5:26
Speaker 7: know it took a lot of time to talk about
5:27
Speaker 7: something that's inside baseball for us here in radio that
5:31
Speaker 7: I'm assuming a whole lot of the audience cares quite
5:34
Speaker 7: a bit about, just because you know, we become family,
5:37
Speaker 7: the listeners hopefully become family with us, the hosts.
5:41
Speaker 1: All right, I do want to start with Ken Paxton.
5:44
Speaker 7: Paxton, as I said, did an interview over the weekend
5:46
Speaker 7: where one of the questions that came up was about
5:49
Speaker 7: the crazy stuff. Tallar Rico says, this is the reason
5:52
Speaker 7: Paxton needs more money. His campaign, I should say needs
5:56
Speaker 7: more money because Texans need to know the saying things
6:00
Speaker 7: that Ken Paxton's or that excuse me, that James Tallerrico says,
6:03
Speaker 7: and it's Ken Paxton's job to get that information out
6:07
Speaker 7: to you to everybody. That all of his ads should
6:10
Speaker 7: have that as a core component of it. And yet
6:13
Speaker 7: we're just not seeing enough ads from Paxson right now.
6:16
Speaker 7: And it sounds that money is a part of that fight,
6:18
Speaker 7: that there's not as much raised as there should be,
6:21
Speaker 7: and maybe there's a strategic decision to wait a little
6:24
Speaker 7: longer to start rolling these ads out and say October
6:27
Speaker 7: when they probably should be rolled out now. I would
6:30
Speaker 7: think that you need this before Labor Day to be
6:33
Speaker 7: a thing that you're doing. But tall Rico talked about
6:36
Speaker 7: how Texas is brainwashing children using the Bible as propaganda.
6:41
Speaker 1: I think was the way that tall Rico phrased it.
6:43
Speaker 7: And mcinanny asked Ken Paxton what he thought of that idea.
6:48
Speaker 7: That's something that is probably a core component of how
6:51
Speaker 7: a lot of us live our lives here in the
6:53
Speaker 7: state faith and how tall Rico is describing it as propaganda.
6:58
Speaker 7: The Bible itself, ten Commandments, things like that are somehow
7:02
Speaker 7: to one of the two people running for a Senate
7:04
Speaker 7: seat in this state controversial, which should be one of
7:08
Speaker 7: many things that is disqualifying for the candidate himself.
7:11
Speaker 1: But here we go.
7:12
Speaker 8: No, we're teaching history. We're teaching things that happened in
7:16
Speaker 8: the past. Some of those are biblical, some of those
7:18
Speaker 8: are most is not biblical. So it's broad history. And
7:22
Speaker 8: I don't know why James tall Rico, he says he's
7:24
Speaker 8: a Christian, although he says he hates Christianity does has
7:27
Speaker 8: attacked Christianity at every stage, including this teaching and even
7:31
Speaker 8: putting the Ten Commandments in. He said it was Christian
7:34
Speaker 8: bullying and hypocrisy on our part to have the ten
7:39
Speaker 8: in our school. So he's definitely on the fringe element
7:42
Speaker 8: of people in Texas, but they just don't know it.
7:45
Speaker 8: So that's one of the reasons he's avoiding the media
7:47
Speaker 8: is because he doesn't want to answer your questions about
7:49
Speaker 8: his radical socialist democratic views.
7:52
Speaker 7: Well, he wants to reshape himself too, is what I
7:54
Speaker 7: would have said as a follow up question to Ken Paxton.
7:57
Speaker 7: There is Tallarico wants to pretend he's been something else
8:00
Speaker 7: his entire career, And essentially this is always the game
8:03
Speaker 7: plan of the left.
8:05
Speaker 1: They treat you like your bleep and stupid.
8:07
Speaker 7: I want to say a different word, I can't, so
8:09
Speaker 7: I'll just say bleep and stupid.
8:11
Speaker 1: But they do.
8:12
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris did the same thing when she was suddenly
8:15
Speaker 7: thrust into the role of being the presidential nominee, even
8:18
Speaker 7: though she won absolutely zero primary races, because they believe
8:23
Speaker 7: in a version of authoritarianism that we actually don't believe
8:27
Speaker 7: it on the right. The left believes in taking away
8:29
Speaker 7: your ability to choose certain things. But nonetheless, as that happened,
8:34
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, Kamala Harris was saying stuff that
8:36
Speaker 7: her career demonstrated she didn't believe, and they just assume
8:40
Speaker 7: you're a moron.
8:41
Speaker 1: Now.
8:41
Speaker 7: Granted, Harris also said stuff that sounded like she got
8:44
Speaker 7: lost in a logic circle that never ended, which Talarico
8:48
Speaker 7: doesn't do as much. He's more eloquent in when he
8:50
Speaker 7: lies to you and to me and to everybody. But
8:53
Speaker 7: we should all know that we should all simply acknowledge
8:57
Speaker 7: the constant amount of lying and the constant amount of
9:01
Speaker 7: hypocrisy that is just spewing from the Tallarico campaign because
9:06
Speaker 7: of how different it is than what he said, Well,
9:08
Speaker 7: he's trying to be a politician in Austin because and
9:11
Speaker 7: while living with his mom and then voting in places
9:13
Speaker 7: that he shouldn't have voted in, or running in elections
9:16
Speaker 7: he should have been running in all kinds of weird
9:17
Speaker 7: things that he did that's not talked about enough.
9:21
Speaker 1: But that's where we're at.
9:22
Speaker 7: We're at a place right now where when you discuss
9:24
Speaker 7: tall Rico, if you're a Texan that is somehow absorbing
9:30
Speaker 7: and listening to the way the left is controlling the narrative.
9:34
Speaker 7: You might walk around believing that he's been a moderate
9:37
Speaker 7: for a long time, and you are woefully wrong about that,
9:40
Speaker 7: and you shouldn't let your I'm not going to call
9:43
Speaker 7: it stupidity. You shouldn't let your inability to focus more
9:48
Speaker 7: and not you and me. I'm not necessarily talking to
9:50
Speaker 7: this audience. It's a very savvy political radio audience that
9:53
Speaker 7: we have at KCV Radio. But many of the people
9:56
Speaker 7: out there who won't turn on this radio station or
9:58
Speaker 7: who thumb through it and get mad at the things
10:00
Speaker 7: they hear me and all the other hosts say, those
10:03
Speaker 7: people are woefully ignorant. They're useful idiots, as they're often described,
10:07
Speaker 7: because they believe a thing that they should have every
10:10
Speaker 7: ability to disprove with just a few clicks.
10:12
Speaker 1: Of a computer.
10:13
Speaker 7: Another thing out there that I thought was interesting is
10:15
Speaker 7: that there seem to be some reinforcements being sent Ken
10:20
Speaker 7: Paxson's way. I don't know if it's going to be
10:22
Speaker 7: money or just this, but Stephen Miller of the White
10:25
Speaker 7: House said that you can see in taxas some pretty
10:30
Speaker 7: significant differences between the two candidates running, and how many
10:33
Speaker 7: people are just going to assume that one of those
10:36
Speaker 7: two can't possibly win. This is not an individual here
10:40
Speaker 7: in Texas saying this sort of thing. Of course, it's
10:42
Speaker 7: the Deputy Chief of Staff and Policy of Homeland Security.
10:46
Speaker 7: But the conversation is ongoing with everyone who's saying that
10:50
Speaker 7: tall Ico is someone that you should know fully and
10:54
Speaker 7: if you don't know fully. It's a little bit on
10:56
Speaker 7: the Republicans and on Paxson to raise the money to
10:59
Speaker 7: run the campaign and run all the messaging that gets
11:01
Speaker 7: it out there, but it's also on you to be
11:03
Speaker 7: able to figure that out for yourself.
11:06
Speaker 9: In Texas, you have a candidate in tall Rico who
11:11
Speaker 9: is against Christianity, he's against meat, he's against oil and gas,
11:17
Speaker 9: and he's in fame men and women's sports. So that
11:20
Speaker 9: has about a I think a one percent approval rating
11:23
Speaker 9: in the state of Texas to talk about something deadly
11:27
Speaker 9: serious but.
11:28
Speaker 1: Here, I'll actually stap it right there.
11:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, those are all believes that tall Rico has that
11:33
Speaker 7: have that limited. I don't know if one percent is
11:36
Speaker 7: right or scary. Whatever percentage of people in Austin might
11:39
Speaker 7: push it to like two. But by and large, the
11:41
Speaker 7: vast majority of Texans on both sides of the political aisle,
11:44
Speaker 7: do not believe any of that stuff. But tall Rico
11:47
Speaker 7: is very anti meat and anti oil and anti so
11:50
Speaker 7: many things that he might have had to be anti
11:53
Speaker 7: when he was running for political positions in Austin. And
11:57
Speaker 7: I've said this before, and I really think this matter.
12:01
Speaker 7: Whether you've heard me say it here or somewhere else,
12:03
Speaker 7: is irrelevant. If someone proves to you that they were
12:07
Speaker 7: willing to want run a radically left leaning, you know,
12:10
Speaker 7: insane all the way in the fringe corners campaign when
12:14
Speaker 7: running for one sort of political office in one place
12:17
Speaker 7: like Harrison, California, or tall Rico in Austin. Then when
12:21
Speaker 7: they pretend that they're actually in the middle, even if
12:24
Speaker 7: you think that they're telling the truth now and they
12:26
Speaker 7: just lied before, the main thing they've actually shown you
12:30
Speaker 7: is that you can't trust anything they say. Like the
12:33
Speaker 7: people who actually do pay attention and tell me that
12:35
Speaker 7: now tall Rico only said those things because he wanted
12:39
Speaker 7: to win that job at that time. He's more in
12:41
Speaker 7: the middle than he claimed to be. Then I can't
12:45
Speaker 7: understand how that's an excuse that makes you want to
12:47
Speaker 7: vote for someone like I've never understood that when they
12:50
Speaker 7: acknowledge the lying, they just try to flip it so
12:53
Speaker 7: it's not current, it's past lying. Because any lying should matter,
12:58
Speaker 7: any lying should be like, man, maybe we shouldn't actually
13:01
Speaker 7: get this person in a position of power because they
13:03
Speaker 7: seem to be someone who's full of crap all the time.
13:06
Speaker 7: Here is taller Ico talking about the Save America Act
13:09
Speaker 7: or the Save Act as it's called now, and how
13:12
Speaker 7: he claims it prevents black people from voting in elections,
13:16
Speaker 7: which is wildly debunked, including by black people themselves.
13:21
Speaker 1: You know, I might actually shoot a video.
13:23
Speaker 7: I feel like I should do this, or just go
13:25
Speaker 7: into certain communities in Houston and ask people in the
13:28
Speaker 7: middle of the day if they have a driver's license.
13:31
Speaker 7: And I'll try to ask a bunch of black people
13:33
Speaker 7: if they have a driver's license and if they think
13:36
Speaker 7: having or not having one is an important product or
13:39
Speaker 7: an important aspect of having a discussion about, you know,
13:42
Speaker 7: who you vote for within the election. I don't even
13:44
Speaker 7: care who they actually support. I just want them to
13:47
Speaker 7: all out the lie that is that people of a
13:50
Speaker 7: certain race would be prevented from voting because of the
13:53
Speaker 7: requirement of a photo ID. It's actually inherently racist of
13:56
Speaker 7: a statement, but here's tall Rico making it.
14:00
Speaker 5: As human beings have the right to shape our own destinies,
14:03
Speaker 5: and we do that through the vote, and so many
14:06
Speaker 5: brave Americans, so many brave Black Americans, have fought and
14:09
Speaker 5: died for that right. And so for politicians in Austin
14:13
Speaker 5: or in Washington, as they're now doing with this Save Act,
14:16
Speaker 5: they are trying to rob our neighbors', particularly our black WIBs,
14:20
Speaker 5: of those God given rights. So I have a track work.
14:23
Speaker 7: How my first reaction if I were actually doing the interview,
14:27
Speaker 7: as Tallaryico says, that is how you're saying out loud
14:30
Speaker 7: that you think that people cannot obtain a driver's license
14:34
Speaker 7: because there are a certain race. If that were true,
14:37
Speaker 7: which it's not. Of course, if it were, it would
14:40
Speaker 7: be a story itself. I've often talked about this that
14:44
Speaker 7: if say, a black person who's a US citizen showed
14:48
Speaker 7: up to get a driver's license anywhere in Texas and
14:50
Speaker 7: was rejected and they're like, but no, I deserve this,
14:54
Speaker 7: and they were said no to, that would be a
14:56
Speaker 7: story all over mainstream media because of how much mainstream
15:00
Speaker 7: media looks to talk about that stuff. Actually, I'm not
15:03
Speaker 7: going to force him to jump in on this topic,
15:05
Speaker 7: but one thing producer Phil has said to me off
15:07
Speaker 7: the air before is and I forget exactly how he
15:09
Speaker 7: phrased it. People talk a lot more about race in
15:12
Speaker 7: the United States than they do in the Bahamas. It's
15:15
Speaker 7: just not a discussion that comes up as much there,
15:18
Speaker 7: and it comes up a lot here, and all of
15:19
Speaker 7: it's because of emotional manipulation. To me, I don't know
15:22
Speaker 7: if you want to jump in on this or if
15:23
Speaker 7: you just want to plead the fifth, but I think
15:24
Speaker 7: it's interesting. Oh, you got a phone call. You got
15:26
Speaker 7: to take a phone call, producer. Phil's got to answer
15:28
Speaker 7: the phone. I just think it's so interesting that he's
15:31
Speaker 7: right about that, that there's a lot of discussions where
15:34
Speaker 7: race does not need to at all be a factor
15:37
Speaker 7: or a portion of an argument on the right or
15:41
Speaker 7: the left. Like you don't need to say I'm fighting
15:43
Speaker 7: this fight because of prevention of racism or this sort
15:47
Speaker 7: of thing. If it's wildly not true, and they do it,
15:51
Speaker 7: they do it anyway because they think it helps them
15:53
Speaker 7: win in whatever election. We got barked in spring calling
15:56
Speaker 7: in I'll throw a Bart in the air.
15:57
Speaker 1: Ready, Bart, what do you want to say?
15:59
Speaker 10: Hey, Greg, I'm going to say Phil having the comment
16:01
Speaker 10: on the voting requirement for photo ID. Sure they made
16:04
Speaker 10: those same claims back when they first passed that back
16:07
Speaker 10: in twenty sixteen. I know that it'd be voter suppression.
16:12
Speaker 10: Every year since twenty sixteen, the number of votes have
16:15
Speaker 10: gone up in Texas. I know they can easily refute
16:18
Speaker 10: this argument if they just point to the facts.
16:20
Speaker 7: Well, you know what's also interesting about that, Bart Georgia
16:23
Speaker 7: is a really good example of this. When Georgia changed
16:25
Speaker 7: some of its rules, a lot of Democrats were saying
16:27
Speaker 7: it was Jim Crow two point zero, and then the
16:30
Speaker 7: very next election, black people voted in a larger number
16:34
Speaker 7: than had ever voted before in the state, and Jim
16:37
Speaker 7: Crow didn't really allow for that. It didn't cause exactly
16:39
Speaker 7: go ahead, I don't know what else you want to say.
16:42
Speaker 10: Well, no, they I mean, they tried to put Stacy
16:44
Speaker 10: Abrams in there, trying to get the boost to vote
16:47
Speaker 10: up there. Now they're having the ex mayor of Atlanta
16:49
Speaker 10: that ran away because they couldn't control Atlanta run. Now, yes,
16:53
Speaker 10: I'm like, these are facts that they need to point out,
16:56
Speaker 10: But like Paxton, they need to push these facts or
16:59
Speaker 10: not public I mean, and that's the only reason race
17:02
Speaker 10: is close.
17:03
Speaker 1: Amen. You know, I totally agree with you.
17:04
Speaker 7: I think that the need for Paxton to raise more money,
17:08
Speaker 7: however that's done, if it's through pockets of people here
17:11
Speaker 7: in Texas or the Republican machine, gives them a little
17:14
Speaker 7: bit more cache that I know that they have that.
17:16
Speaker 7: I know that President Trump and others have You need
17:19
Speaker 7: an informed electorate to make a decision. And there's so
17:22
Speaker 7: many things that Tallarico has said very very recently that
17:27
Speaker 7: seem to be things that most Texans would be like, no,
17:29
Speaker 7: I can't, I can't back that.
17:31
Speaker 10: And recently is a key thing because right now it
17:33
Speaker 10: seems like every time they have somebody at dsa candidate
17:36
Speaker 10: says we need to get rid of Thanksgiving or we
17:39
Speaker 10: deserve nine to eleven, they say, oh, that was a
17:41
Speaker 10: long time ago. They've apologized for.
17:43
Speaker 7: That, right, Yeah, thank you so much for the call.
17:46
Speaker 7: Bart in Spring, He's right about that. That's so often
17:49
Speaker 7: where you hear people say that, oh, that opinion has
17:53
Speaker 7: changed so much. Even the crazy lady in Wisconsin who
17:57
Speaker 7: lost and thankfully is not going to wind up being
17:59
Speaker 7: any more of a political name. Hang, she was saying
18:04
Speaker 7: that tech that excuse me that Thanksgiving was her favorite
18:07
Speaker 7: holiday after saying just a few months earlier than that
18:11
Speaker 7: that it should be canceled, and it was horrible. And
18:13
Speaker 7: so this shows you how full of crap they are
18:16
Speaker 7: all the time on so many things. I think that's
18:18
Speaker 7: been one of the biggest complaints from the left of
18:22
Speaker 7: the left is that they often lie to your face
18:25
Speaker 7: and promise you things that they never deliver on. And
18:28
Speaker 7: yet when you talk about insanity doing the same thing
18:31
Speaker 7: over and over again, you see a bunch of people
18:33
Speaker 7: just vote for that side because like, ah, this time
18:35
Speaker 7: it'll be different. This guy seems good. The things he
18:38
Speaker 7: says seem like they're going to be true, even when
18:41
Speaker 7: they're blatant. Live all right, some other things out there
18:43
Speaker 7: that I do want to play before we take our
18:44
Speaker 7: first break.
18:45
Speaker 1: I have a couple of national things that I'd like
18:47
Speaker 1: to discuss first.
18:49
Speaker 7: There were two moments in a press conference with President
18:52
Speaker 7: Trump that I thought were really interesting, the first one
18:55
Speaker 7: being a question about the strait of hormones and what
18:58
Speaker 7: President Trump says he should do with it. It's something
19:00
Speaker 7: I think that President Trump should do with it, and
19:02
Speaker 7: I think America should do. So I agree with him
19:05
Speaker 7: on the stance of this. I know that the veteran
19:08
Speaker 7: I had on this past Friday for my Veteran Voices
19:11
Speaker 7: segment told me that this is impossible, and he had
19:14
Speaker 7: actually served in the military in and gone into the
19:19
Speaker 7: strait of our moves at a time when you know,
19:21
Speaker 7: contention was actually happening. But here, I want to play
19:23
Speaker 7: this with President Trump a little bit.
19:24
Speaker 1: First. That's what you said that.
19:26
Speaker 3: It would soon declare the Straight Up fore News to
19:28
Speaker 3: be a territory of the United States.
19:29
Speaker 11: Could you elaborate, Well, I just think it's a great idea. Yeah,
19:32
Speaker 11: I mean, we control it. We control it with the blockade.
19:35
Speaker 11: We have a blockade. We control it with the blockade.
19:38
Speaker 1: And I like the ideas me too.
19:42
Speaker 11: We have total control over the street. Now they can
19:45
Speaker 11: be a nuisance, they can put a mine in the water,
19:47
Speaker 11: and people don't like having mindset. There have million dollarships,
19:50
Speaker 11: you know, et cetera. But the blockade has been very
19:53
Speaker 11: effective and you know we're taking out and now maybe
19:56
Speaker 11: that will stop or maybe it'll open up even further.
19:59
Speaker 11: But we're taking out millions of barrels of oil a week.
20:03
Speaker 11: If you look at the kind of numbers that we're doing.
20:05
Speaker 11: We're doing. The strait is open, and the up prices
20:09
Speaker 11: are coming down and they will continue to come down.
20:11
Speaker 7: And that's going to be a huge, huge hold sorry,
20:13
Speaker 7: mister president, that's gonna be a huge, huge part of
20:16
Speaker 7: how people actually vote in November if oil prices continue
20:19
Speaker 7: to go down. Let's get to Jimmy X. Who's on
20:21
Speaker 7: the phone. Jimmy, what do you want to say?
20:24
Speaker 12: Hey? Brother Craig, good show.
20:27
Speaker 10: Hey, how you do you?
20:28
Speaker 12: And you and Chris back to back. Man, you're giving
20:31
Speaker 12: voice to freedom.
20:32
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you.
20:33
Speaker 12: And if if the facts aren't being known, it's not
20:37
Speaker 12: because you two aren't trying.
20:40
Speaker 1: Thank you.
20:41
Speaker 7: This is Jimmy to the second Power. By the way
20:43
Speaker 7: I said, Jimmy, I saw on the screen.
20:44
Speaker 12: Go ahead continue, Yes, this is the second Power. Yeah,
20:49
Speaker 12: me and the OG we had a discussion a couple
20:51
Speaker 12: of weeks ago, and I want to address that. First.
20:53
Speaker 12: Evidently he didn't hear all I said because he disagreed.
20:57
Speaker 12: But when what I said was that we agree with
21:01
Speaker 12: them as much as we can until it crosses principles
21:04
Speaker 12: to which we cannot stand by.
21:08
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I know what you're referencing.
21:11
Speaker 4: You.
21:11
Speaker 12: I think he missed that. But anyway, he is he
21:14
Speaker 12: is my buddy and he has a great guy and
21:19
Speaker 12: that part but cool, you know, it's.
21:22
Speaker 1: Actually really funny.
21:23
Speaker 7: Jimmy X to the second power. I just want you
21:25
Speaker 7: to know Jimmy X is on the line to go next.
21:27
Speaker 7: So whatever you say, I'm gonna get to hear from
21:29
Speaker 7: Jimmy X again too. I just noticed that he just
21:31
Speaker 7: got put on hold of excellent.
21:32
Speaker 12: Excellent. Well, I'll tell you what. He's a veteran's why.
21:37
Speaker 12: He's a philanthropic businessman that contributes a lot to the community. Yes,
21:43
Speaker 12: and I have a lot of respect for him, So
21:46
Speaker 12: I just wanted to clear it up as I think
21:48
Speaker 12: he missed part of what I was saying. But even
21:52
Speaker 12: if he didn't, we're still brothers of conservatives.
21:57
Speaker 1: Sure.
21:58
Speaker 7: Well yeah, and I think to explain to the audience
22:00
Speaker 7: because they don't know. Some audience members don't know what
22:03
Speaker 7: you're talking about. You had called in and we had
22:04
Speaker 7: had a conversation about some of what faith compels you
22:08
Speaker 7: to do, some of how faith asks you to behave
22:10
Speaker 7: in certain scenarios, including scenarios in which you are more
22:14
Speaker 7: respectful than you should be. Politics doesn't seem to really
22:17
Speaker 7: allow for that. There are times where in political worlds
22:21
Speaker 7: and what you're saying is you have a line that
22:24
Speaker 7: when somebody crosses it, there's no more mister nice guy.
22:28
Speaker 7: There's a whole bunch of calling it what it is,
22:30
Speaker 7: which I know Jimmy X would do and I would do,
22:32
Speaker 7: which is like, well, that's communism, that's this.
22:35
Speaker 1: That's that.
22:36
Speaker 7: So there's a push pull to I think that in
22:38
Speaker 7: all of our hearts with when we want to be
22:41
Speaker 7: respectful to others and when we know we can't for
22:44
Speaker 7: the sake of everyone else that might be listening to
22:46
Speaker 7: a conversation.
22:48
Speaker 12: Well, this past week, for instance, in tall Rico, a
22:52
Speaker 12: pastor in I think humble y, full throated endorsed him
22:57
Speaker 12: from the pull pit.
22:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, And.
23:01
Speaker 12: I don't know how a pastor can support a person
23:07
Speaker 12: that's that is in favor of slaughtering a child up
23:12
Speaker 12: until the ninth month of their birth. That is a
23:17
Speaker 12: democrat and you you can't find that because someone thirty
23:22
Speaker 12: nine clearly says that that is a valuable treasure that
23:27
Speaker 12: was recorded before it was born. Yes, And in regard
23:32
Speaker 12: to Tallerco, you know he's got his grandpap on TV
23:35
Speaker 12: as a Baptist minister. He is so far from the
23:38
Speaker 12: Baptist faith. And I'm not Baptist, but I have a
23:41
Speaker 12: lot of friends that are. He is so far from
23:43
Speaker 12: the Baptist faith. I can't believe that the Baptist allowed
23:47
Speaker 12: him to use the name in a commercial. Sure, but
23:52
Speaker 12: that's America. Yeah, but they are shape shifters. They will
23:56
Speaker 12: say whatever it takes, and I will just go back
23:59
Speaker 12: to the The whole reason that we have the fall
24:02
Speaker 12: in society that we have is because it was so
24:07
Speaker 12: close to the truth in the garden. Just a couple
24:10
Speaker 12: of words were different, but it tricked a woman and
24:15
Speaker 12: a man, and they've made a decision that forever changed
24:20
Speaker 12: the world. We are at a point to where, unless
24:23
Speaker 12: people are smart, the truth is so close to the
24:27
Speaker 12: fiction that's being sold that unless you really pay attention,
24:32
Speaker 12: you will make a decision that can ruin our nation.
24:36
Speaker 12: So I pray that you don't do that. Now, Ken
24:39
Speaker 12: Paxton and Ted Cruz are going to be in Houston.
24:42
Speaker 12: They are in a conference by the Republicans and that's
24:47
Speaker 12: coming up, so people be looking for it. And all
24:50
Speaker 12: I wanted to do is to be more energized when
24:53
Speaker 12: he does do an interview, You've got to be energetic.
24:57
Speaker 1: Amen. Thank you very much for the call. Jimmy X
24:59
Speaker 1: the Second.
25:00
Speaker 7: I absolutely agree with you on what you said about
25:02
Speaker 7: needing more energy within this political party. I just found
25:05
Speaker 7: out that my cousin Vinnie, who does a show on
25:08
Speaker 7: this radio station, Vince colin As, will be in Dallas
25:11
Speaker 7: for the big giant mid term convention that's going to
25:15
Speaker 7: be happening. I'm gonna have to weasel some way for
25:17
Speaker 7: KSSYVT also put me in Dallas so I can hang
25:19
Speaker 7: out with the couz and also be around people that
25:22
Speaker 7: are going to be pretty important.
25:23
Speaker 1: Let's get to Jimmy X. Jimmy X is on hold, Jimmy,
25:26
Speaker 1: what do you want to say, Bud.
25:29
Speaker 4: My cousin Vinnie two?
25:32
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. It's the two youths. Man, Go find
25:35
Speaker 1: those two youths. All right, what do you want to say?
25:39
Speaker 4: Well, I just want to stay to my brother in arms,
25:42
Speaker 4: Jimmy X to the second power. Yes, God bless you, brother.
25:46
Speaker 4: I do remember a couple of weeks ago, no harm,
25:49
Speaker 4: no foul. I'm his point. I probably didn't hear the
25:54
Speaker 4: whole comment. I've been married thirty five years. It's not
25:57
Speaker 4: the first time I've heard those words.
26:01
Speaker 7: I heard them today via text from my wife that
26:05
Speaker 7: I didn't understand something she told me was happening tonight.
26:07
Speaker 1: I love that, man.
26:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh I got that earlier too. Man about that.
26:12
Speaker 12: That's funny, but.
26:14
Speaker 4: Uh but quick funny. I called in, you know, not
26:18
Speaker 4: my first call, no produce of Phil answers. I'm like, hey, man,
26:23
Speaker 4: how you doing? You know? Ba ba bun. He's like,
26:27
Speaker 4: what's your name again, dude? Jimmy Oh? And I said,
26:35
Speaker 4: I know, And he mentions that Jimmy X is the
26:37
Speaker 4: second power. Just called Dan. Yes, and I said, I know,
26:40
Speaker 4: I know, all white guy's down the wife right, and uh.
26:45
Speaker 1: I see Phil laughing in studio right now.
26:48
Speaker 12: I love he is.
26:49
Speaker 1: He loves it.
26:50
Speaker 7: Phil is a black guy for anybody that doesn't know.
26:52
Speaker 7: Jimmy X obviously does know. And Phil thinks that's pretty funny.
26:56
Speaker 7: But yeah, you're you're the most regular caller that this
26:59
Speaker 7: show has. So but he only works twice a week.
27:02
Speaker 1: Man. To Fhill's defense, he only gets to be here
27:04
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday.
27:07
Speaker 4: I know, man, I know it's all good man.
27:10
Speaker 1: That's funny.
27:11
Speaker 4: But the reason I called Dan is I may have
27:15
Speaker 4: heard this on another show earlier than you about a
27:19
Speaker 4: million times, but it's the lying liars line, and that's
27:25
Speaker 4: where we're rough against.
27:26
Speaker 7: Yes we are, we are, and it's it's amazing here, Jimmy.
27:30
Speaker 7: I want to say this though, because this does frustrate me.
27:33
Speaker 7: And I know you're a guy that's put paid attention
27:34
Speaker 7: to politics for a long time. There are times when
27:38
Speaker 7: there are people that I know, Brian Noonan is an
27:40
Speaker 7: example of that, that I think are intelligent, and then
27:43
Speaker 7: they say something that's so disproven and so stupid that
27:48
Speaker 7: you just look at them and you think yourself, You're like,
27:50
Speaker 7: how can you still think that?
27:51
Speaker 1: How can you still believe that?
27:52
Speaker 7: How have you not seen any of the information that
27:55
Speaker 7: disproves the thing you just said, or in the case
27:58
Speaker 7: of Tallarico, shows how much much of a liar he
28:00
Speaker 7: is who lies, and how much of a hypocrite he
28:03
Speaker 7: is from the stuff he said before. Like, we think
28:05
Speaker 7: we're doing a good job on some of this messaging,
28:08
Speaker 7: and then it occasionally has demonstrated to us, to me
28:11
Speaker 7: that we're not that somehow people on the other side
28:14
Speaker 7: still have put their fingers in their ears long enough
28:17
Speaker 7: to not hear.
28:18
Speaker 1: Any of this.
28:20
Speaker 4: Well, most of us empower critical analytical thinking. We always question,
28:28
Speaker 4: we always do our research. And on their side, they're
28:33
Speaker 4: just very gullible. Okay. They believe things like, oh, we're
28:38
Speaker 4: gonna put a billionaire's tax and it's gonna make your
28:42
Speaker 4: life better, right, Oh, we're we're going to reduce carbon emission. Yeah,
28:49
Speaker 4: that's crazy, and they're gullible.
28:50
Speaker 7: Well yeah, And honestly, the Democratic Socialists say they're even
28:53
Speaker 7: going to take people's properties away, that they don't want
28:55
Speaker 7: private property to be a thing anymore.
28:57
Speaker 1: That's beyond stupid.
28:58
Speaker 4: Continue, No, it's there, but people believe it, and their
29:04
Speaker 4: side buys it, and they're getting votes. And we've got
29:08
Speaker 4: to be careful because look, Craig, professor, if the state falls,
29:17
Speaker 4: it is going to embolden them and they are going
29:20
Speaker 4: to go into warped seed moving this country to communism. Okay, yes,
29:27
Speaker 4: and it's not going to be pretty. In the history
29:31
Speaker 4: of the world, there is no example where a nation
29:34
Speaker 4: went from freedom loving people to communism without a very
29:39
Speaker 4: bloody armed conflict.
29:41
Speaker 1: And then a lot of harribleness the entire time they
29:44
Speaker 1: stay communist.
29:45
Speaker 4: Continue, that's exactly it. You don't overturn it, man, Okay.
29:51
Speaker 4: And and and we've got to be careful here. Many
29:56
Speaker 4: James Calrico is a communist, okay.
30:02
Speaker 1: Is a commits the well.
30:07
Speaker 7: And let's talk about Gina for just a quick second,
30:10
Speaker 7: because I think this is a good thing to get
30:12
Speaker 7: your response on. I heard even from my wife the
30:14
Speaker 7: other day that she found out that Gina's offering to
30:17
Speaker 7: give every text and money and she wanted to ask
30:20
Speaker 7: me about that. She's like, we have a surplus, and
30:22
Speaker 7: Gina said, she's going to give people money. What do
30:24
Speaker 7: you think of that? And my wife is is lovely
30:26
Speaker 7: in the sense that she'll ask me questions, I'll tell
30:28
Speaker 7: her stuff and she'll she'll just believe me every time
30:31
Speaker 7: that we have a discussion about something. I like that
30:34
Speaker 7: she trusts my opinion of it. Not only is that
30:36
Speaker 7: ridiculously never going to happen. Not Gina would not have
30:39
Speaker 7: the ability to just cut checks every text in.
30:42
Speaker 1: But that would be a horrible idea.
30:44
Speaker 7: If that's how we use the surplus that we have
30:46
Speaker 7: in this state, we would start getting closer and closer
30:48
Speaker 7: to becoming the Illinois of the world that have massive
30:51
Speaker 7: amounts of debt if you just start sending money out.
30:54
Speaker 7: But it's just such an interesting thing because she's mentioned
30:57
Speaker 7: that as part of the promises of her campaign that
31:00
Speaker 7: if she gets elected, she's essentially buying your vote by
31:03
Speaker 7: promising to send everybody a check.
31:08
Speaker 4: Clause. Dude, that's what the.
31:11
Speaker 1: True. Yeah it is. Well, thank you man for the calls.
31:15
Speaker 4: Stop free dad. There is no such thing as a
31:18
Speaker 4: free lunch, remember that.
31:20
Speaker 1: Amen, Thank you for the call, Bud alright brother bye. Uh.
31:25
Speaker 1: You know it's funny with Jimmy X.
31:27
Speaker 7: As I had somebody ask me if I should rename
31:30
Speaker 7: the show The Professor on KCV, because that's the nickname
31:35
Speaker 7: that Jimmy X gave me. I think very quickly to
31:37
Speaker 7: when I was first on this radio station, and I
31:40
Speaker 7: don't feel that I live up to that Jimmy X.
31:43
Speaker 7: I'll tell you that if somebody asks me, do you
31:45
Speaker 7: want to rename the show? Because there were there were
31:46
Speaker 7: a couple other names when I started back in March
31:49
Speaker 7: to do this six to seven o'clock maga. Craig, which
31:52
Speaker 7: Chris X and others called me, was one idea, and
31:55
Speaker 7: then the Professor was the other one.
31:57

32:07
Speaker 1: I know that got a little.
32:08
Speaker 7: Confusing there, but you can be the decision maker on
32:11
Speaker 7: your own. I don't like giving myself a nickname, although
32:14
Speaker 7: Jimmy did give it to me, but I should tell
32:15
Speaker 7: him that that it was an idea that was discussed
32:18
Speaker 7: and I didn't say full on no to it.
32:20
Speaker 1: I just said I didn't really think I deserved it.
32:22
Speaker 7: But we got to take our first break late again,
32:25

35:52
Speaker 7: Thrilled to be with you as I always say, a
35:54
Speaker 7: whole crap ton of stuff to talk about, and yet
35:56
Speaker 7: this viral moment from earlier today of President Trump cramping
36:00
Speaker 7: all over CNN is probably one of the more talked
36:03
Speaker 7: about things on social media because he hates the fact
36:07
Speaker 7: that they're a bullies and crappy people and definitely people
36:12
Speaker 7: who deal a whole lot in fake news. Here he
36:15
Speaker 7: is confronting them for about twenty seconds on it.
36:19
Speaker 11: Quiet, you're very disrespectful in front of this young man.
36:24
Speaker 1: Shut up, he understands.
36:27
Speaker 4: Quiet. Who you're with?
36:30
Speaker 11: Fake news?
36:31
Speaker 1: You're fake news.
36:33
Speaker 10: You're loud.
36:34
Speaker 11: You're a loud, boisterous person your fake news. Be quiet,
36:37
Speaker 11: Be quiet, be quiet?
36:40
Speaker 1: Shut up.
36:41
Speaker 11: You're a fake reporter and you report fake news.
36:44
Speaker 9: Go ahead.
36:45
Speaker 7: No one's asking you a question right now, No one's
36:47
Speaker 7: allowing you to speak. Why are you talking some more
36:50
Speaker 7: and yelling stuff from the corner of the room that
36:52
Speaker 7: you're yelling it from. Trump does this a lot, But
36:55
Speaker 7: this is the latest version of go viral, and I
36:58
Speaker 7: do think it's hilarious.
36:59
Speaker 1: You know what, zactually really funny about this? Though.
37:02
Speaker 7: If there's one observation I'll make that demonstrates that the
37:06
Speaker 7: left might get mad but that they're obviously full of
37:08
Speaker 7: crap about it. Is that Biden, when he was at
37:11
Speaker 7: all lucid, which was almost never, would do this occasionally
37:14
Speaker 7: to the Fox News reporter because and this was the
37:17
Speaker 7: funniest part about a Biden press conference when he was
37:20
Speaker 7: in office, is he would be given a sheet of
37:23
Speaker 7: people to call on because his brain didn't work well
37:26
Speaker 7: enough to recognize people anymore, so he'd look down, he'd
37:29
Speaker 7: say a name, and then he'd look up and wait
37:31
Speaker 7: for sounds to start happening, and he actually usually i think,
37:35
Speaker 7: had the question and what his answer was supposed to be,
37:38
Speaker 7: because there were times where they actually got a photo
37:40
Speaker 7: of it and you could see like the crib notes
37:42
Speaker 7: version of the thing that Biden had. But what was
37:45
Speaker 7: amusing to me was occasionally when he'd still make a mistake,
37:48
Speaker 7: it was like he'd look down, maybe his brain was
37:50
Speaker 7: functioning so poorly he couldn't even read, and then he'd
37:53
Speaker 7: look up and he'd point at somebody and it would
37:55
Speaker 7: be Fox News and they'd ask him a hard question
37:58
Speaker 7: and he'd tell him to shut up because he'd it too.
38:01
Speaker 1: And he's not the only one.
38:02
Speaker 7: They're not the only two politicians that have ever treated
38:05
Speaker 7: the opposing side of media poorly or in this case,
38:09
Speaker 7: I think, just honestly, and of course only one gets
38:13
Speaker 7: criticized for it.
38:14
Speaker 1: Trump is the only person I.
38:15
Speaker 7: Think it's actually I've said this, and I'll say this too,
38:18
Speaker 7: and then we'll move on to a different topic. I
38:21
Speaker 7: am convinced, and I don't think anybody could do anything
38:26
Speaker 7: that would convince me otherwise of this simple belief I have.
38:29
Speaker 7: But I am convinced that if it's a democrat in
38:31
Speaker 7: power going after Iran, that mainstream media would be praising
38:35
Speaker 7: it as a humanitarian effort to save a country from
38:39
Speaker 7: an authoritarian ruler or you know, administration, a controlling arm
38:46
Speaker 7: of that country that is causing widespread horrors to exist
38:50
Speaker 7: in Iran, because that is a real thing, and President
38:53
Speaker 7: Trump has talked about it. He's mentioned that he is
38:55
Speaker 7: trying to stop them from killing innocent civilians who do
38:59
Speaker 7: simple things like and so I am utterly convinced that
39:03
Speaker 7: if it were a democrat that had the you know
39:05
Speaker 7: what's to do this, that the way that they were
39:07
Speaker 7: talking about Iran would be talking about Iran would be
39:10
Speaker 7: profoundly different, and constant praise and demanding the American people
39:15
Speaker 7: to accept higher gas prices as we continue this historic fight,
39:18
Speaker 7: this thing that's happening that no one had the you
39:22
Speaker 7: know what's again to do until this person got into office.
39:26
Speaker 7: The only problem they have with that narrative is that
39:28
Speaker 7: it's Trump who did it, and so they hate that.
39:30
Speaker 7: Before I play any more, audio of some other stories
39:34
Speaker 7: out there that I think are interesting on maybe a
39:36
Speaker 7: national level, and a Hassan Piker thing, and I have
39:39
Speaker 7: not talked much about Hassan Piker, the incredibly insane person
39:43
Speaker 7: that seems to be leading some of the discussion on
39:46
Speaker 7: the left, just an absolutely radical piece of crap for
39:49
Speaker 7: a variety of reasons. Before I do that, I do
39:51
Speaker 7: want to mention a story that's making the rounds a
39:53
Speaker 7: lot of places about Ken Paxton. He has sent warnings
39:57
Speaker 7: to one hundred and ten Texas cities and told them
40:01
Speaker 7: that they cannot raise property taxes above state limits or
40:04
Speaker 7: he will fight them every time we have any form
40:09
Speaker 7: of a discussion about who should be the next senator
40:12
Speaker 7: in this state, whether it's Talafrico, Tala, whatever you want
40:15
Speaker 7: to call him, wacko and Ken Paxton. One of the
40:18
Speaker 7: things that no one can take away from Paxton. If
40:21
Speaker 7: you want to say that he is baggage and there's
40:23
Speaker 7: reasons that certain conservatives might not vote for him, fine,
40:26
Speaker 7: go ahead, do what you want there.
40:28
Speaker 1: I don't think it's true.
40:29
Speaker 7: I don't think any real conservative could vote for tall
40:32
Speaker 7: Rico over Paxton, or literally any conservative over tall Rico. Like,
40:38
Speaker 7: if you would vote for Tall Rico, you can't possibly
40:40
Speaker 7: call yourself a conservative at all.
40:43
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's possible.
40:45
Speaker 7: But nonetheless, the thing that no one can take away
40:47
Speaker 7: from Paxton is how incredibly effective he's been as the
40:50
Speaker 7: attorney general. He's someone who's won a tremendous amount of fights,
40:55
Speaker 7: fights against insane ideas of the left, certain administrations, whether
41:00
Speaker 7: that's Biden, Obama, whoever it might be. He's done an
41:03
Speaker 7: incredibly good job of winning in places where other people
41:07
Speaker 7: don't and where other states don't. Most other states, in
41:10
Speaker 7: fact don't, maybe Florida the only exception where they've done
41:14
Speaker 7: about as well but probably not quite as well as
41:17
Speaker 7: Paxon has done in fighting those fights. And this is
41:19
Speaker 7: another example of that. So many places in Texas right now,
41:23
Speaker 7: so many people are talking about the property taxes, talking
41:27
Speaker 7: about how horrible they are how if you look at
41:29
Speaker 7: certain stats. Even though Texas does quite well in the
41:33
Speaker 7: fact that we don't have a state income tax, the
41:37
Speaker 7: property taxes out weigh that in a lot of places.
41:39
Speaker 7: In Houston, for example, one of the worst places in
41:42
Speaker 7: the country as far as property taxes are concerned. And
41:45
Speaker 7: that doesn't even factor in the smaller taxes that punch
41:48
Speaker 7: you even more in the face when you look at
41:50
Speaker 7: like county level and whatnot. But property taxes are horrible.
41:54
Speaker 7: Senator Bettancourt has fought them for a long time. And
41:57
Speaker 7: actually Senator Bettancourt is also in the news, and I
41:59
Speaker 7: can talk about that in a little bit. But I
42:02
Speaker 7: just think this is a really intelligent move for Paxton
42:05
Speaker 7: to make because it's protecting the rights of Texans to
42:09
Speaker 7: not pay insane amounts more. We're already upset about the
42:13
Speaker 7: property taxes we do pay, and there's about one hundred
42:16
Speaker 7: cities that would like that to get even worse for
42:18
Speaker 7: you and me, and Paxton's warning them they can't go
42:21
Speaker 7: over any sort of state limit because they'll be very
42:24
Speaker 7: much in trouble for that.
42:25
Speaker 1: And you know what, here, I'll just talk about the
42:27
Speaker 1: other thing very quickly.
42:29
Speaker 7: The Houston Chronicle and several other places are talking about
42:32
Speaker 7: something that a Senator Bettancourt has been blowing the whistle
42:36
Speaker 7: on for a while, talking about certain election issues that
42:41
Speaker 7: might exist here in Texas. Ken Paxson actually also talked
42:44
Speaker 7: about how there are probably people and I think they
42:46
Speaker 7: can even prove there are some people that are not
42:49
Speaker 7: legally in the state that are voting even in this
42:51
Speaker 7: state without the right to do so, and they're going
42:53
Speaker 7: to get in trouble, and I think some examples were given.
42:56
Speaker 7: One of the things I loved about Senator Bettancourt's kind
42:59
Speaker 7: of a approach to this topic and the things he's
43:01
Speaker 7: done to raise awareness is talking about the people that
43:04
Speaker 7: have po boxes as addresses who try to vote because
43:08
Speaker 7: you can't possibly live at a peo box like That's
43:10
Speaker 7: the laziest version of trying to say I'm a Texan,
43:14
Speaker 7: I'm a real citizen that deserves the right.
43:17
Speaker 1: To vote, and I live inside a PO box like that.
43:20
Speaker 1: That's not even trying.
43:22
Speaker 7: That's not even taller eco pretending that he lives with
43:24
Speaker 7: his mom when he doesn't live there anymore, so that
43:26
Speaker 7: he could do certain things politically that he shouldn't have done.
43:29
Speaker 7: This is even worse and Senator Bettencourt has been at
43:32
Speaker 7: the forefront of forefront of fighting it for a while,
43:35
Speaker 7: and the Houston Chronicle even admitted that I don't know
43:38
Speaker 7: if they like it, because the Houston Chronicle is certainly
43:40
Speaker 7: a leftist publication, but they had to that when you
43:43
Speaker 7: talk about potential audits happening as far as voters here
43:48
Speaker 7: in Houston are concerned, and also what Paxson is now
43:51
Speaker 7: talking about is as far as the potential for at
43:53
Speaker 7: least some people out to vote without the ability to
43:56
Speaker 7: do so here in this state because certain cities and
43:59
Speaker 7: places are trying to allow that to happen. All of
44:02
Speaker 7: those things matter, All those things deserve to be talked
44:05
Speaker 7: about and deserve to.
44:05
Speaker 1: Be highlighted more.
44:07
Speaker 7: And it's nice when they become something that mainstream media
44:10
Speaker 7: and left leaning media can't ignore, which did happen just
44:13
Speaker 7: a few days ago. It's in the Chronicle, I think
44:15
Speaker 7: is of late last week, and you can see it
44:18
Speaker 7: that Senator Bettencourt has name dropped a couple times because
44:22
Speaker 7: you know, actually, this is the best way to say it.
44:26
Speaker 7: There are people who are paying attention and who are
44:28
Speaker 7: fighting the good fight, and in the case of the
44:30
Speaker 7: Senator he's someone who's doing this on a lot of
44:32
Speaker 7: these topics that matter to you. And then there's a
44:35
Speaker 7: lot of people who aren't paying attention who don't know that.
44:37
Speaker 1: This is happening.
44:38
Speaker 7: We have people that will call into the radio station
44:40
Speaker 7: occasionally and say something and it's like, well, no, that's
44:43
Speaker 7: not true. They are fighting that someone is trying to
44:46
Speaker 7: prevent that from happening, whether they're winning or losing because
44:50
Speaker 7: of other politicians and other decisions that are being made.
44:53
Speaker 7: Is a problem that we all need to pay more
44:55
Speaker 7: attention to so that people who don't vote the way
44:58
Speaker 7: they're supposed to their jobs. We just need to care more,
45:02
Speaker 7: I guess is the right way to say it, and
45:04
Speaker 7: most Texans, I think do when that thing that's being
45:08
Speaker 7: discussed harms you. If people vote that shouldn't vote. And
45:12
Speaker 7: if Talla Rico can win an election, he shouldn't win.
45:15
Speaker 7: A lot of Texans will care that. But it would
45:17
Speaker 7: be better if we care before that happens to prevent
45:20
Speaker 7: it from happening. Essentially, all right, I want to play
45:22
Speaker 7: the Hassan Piker thing. I thought this was interesting. It's
45:24
Speaker 7: making the rounds.
45:26
Speaker 1: It is a San Piker doing an interview with.
45:29
Speaker 7: Some horrible lefty people, one of which I think is
45:33
Speaker 7: actually wearing like a Pete Bootage Edge twenty twenty election shirt, which.
45:39
Speaker 1: Just looks so stupid.
45:40
Speaker 7: But I want to play this because I think it's
45:42
Speaker 7: interesting the question that was asked of Hassan Piker, insanely
45:46
Speaker 7: left guy who is helping certain politicians on the left
45:51
Speaker 7: in their election campaigns, in their primary races and other things.
45:55
Speaker 7: He gets a lot of views, a lot of people
45:57
Speaker 7: pay attention to him in Liberia, but he's definitely an
46:02
Speaker 7: insane moron in my opinion, and he sort of demonstrates
46:06
Speaker 7: how egotistical he is because I do think this is
46:09
Speaker 7: a pretty good question to ask of him about political strategy,
46:13
Speaker 7: and he can't seem to understand why the answer he
46:16
Speaker 7: gave was terrible.
46:17
Speaker 13: Here we go, Hassan, you recently said that progressives might
46:21
Speaker 13: have to moderate in the general election, at least.
46:24
Speaker 1: With the why they communicate.
46:26
Speaker 3: Now, does that mean you don't mind if say abdol
46:28
Speaker 3: el Sayed or Iosay threw you under the bus.
46:31
Speaker 1: That's what it takes to wayn.
46:34
Speaker 14: I don't think there is a necessity for them to
46:36
Speaker 14: do this, because I think they're ackling the form is
46:39
Speaker 14: probably the more appropriate way to deal with questions like
46:42
Speaker 14: that and just simply ask, why are we doing guilt
46:45
Speaker 14: by association?
46:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, because they're guilty of associating with you, and you
46:49
Speaker 7: hate that. You don't like that because as someone who's
46:52
Speaker 7: a political pundit prenominantly on the internet, you are.
46:55
Speaker 1: As radical as they get.
46:57
Speaker 7: In order to get the views, the eyeballs, the people
46:59
Speaker 7: to pay tention to you, and then you try to
47:01
Speaker 7: influence the party, and in influencing the party, you say
47:04
Speaker 7: a lot of insane stuff. But here's here's the thing
47:06
Speaker 7: that that audio is missing, and that audio should understand
47:10
Speaker 7: better than it does. These radical lefties like l said
47:14
Speaker 7: or AOC believe all the same stuff that hasan Piker believes.
47:18
Speaker 7: So when the people ask should they throw you under
47:22
Speaker 7: the bus, should they distance themselves from you? In order
47:25
Speaker 7: to win an election somewhere because the DSA, the Democratic
47:29
Speaker 7: Socialists of America are losing at least some of the
47:32
Speaker 7: pr battle that. Thankfully they're losing because most Americans think
47:36
Speaker 7: that DSA people are insane. The reason that Piker says
47:40
Speaker 7: what he does is because he knows as well as
47:42
Speaker 7: I do, and you should that most of these people,
47:44
Speaker 7: Talla Rico, these types of crazy individuals, they believe all
47:48
Speaker 7: that far left ridiculous stuff, and they actually want that
47:52
Speaker 7: to be the way that our society in our country
47:54
Speaker 7: is governed.
47:55
Speaker 1: If they get a chance to get their hook in.
47:57
Speaker 7: The door, they'll push further and further for communism, Marxism,
48:01
Speaker 7: all the things that you and I know are horrible
48:04
Speaker 7: and that some of the listeners called in earlier to
48:06
Speaker 7: talk to me about, like taking away property DSA. People
48:10
Speaker 7: have actually said that they think private property is wrong,
48:13
Speaker 7: and anyone that's in a house, that owns a home,
48:17
Speaker 7: you would And here's my favorite part of that too,
48:19
Speaker 7: just real quick and I have more audio. I should
48:21
Speaker 7: have done something fun before we get out of here,
48:24
Speaker 7: but I want to play this other political stuff. My
48:27
Speaker 7: favorite thing is that most people on the left will
48:30
Speaker 7: pretend that they support something until someone showed up at
48:33
Speaker 7: their door, Like if someone actually knocked in your door,
48:35
Speaker 7: you own a house, you're a Democrat, you voted that
48:38
Speaker 7: side into power, And they go, all right, now we
48:40
Speaker 7: don't think that private property is allowed anymore, so you
48:43
Speaker 7: have to give us your house.
48:44
Speaker 1: Then they would belived that's.
48:46
Speaker 7: The version of I think it was Billie Eilish who
48:49
Speaker 7: made the comments about how you know you can't do
48:53
Speaker 7: certain things on stolen land. And then someone pointed out
48:56
Speaker 7: that her mansion in California is on land that should
48:59
Speaker 7: be owned by a Native Americans, and there was a
49:03
Speaker 7: push for Billy Eilish to give her mansion to the
49:06
Speaker 7: Indians who should own it, to the Native Americans who
49:08
Speaker 7: should own it, and they even said they'd love to
49:10
Speaker 7: take it, which was my favorite part of that story.
49:13
Speaker 7: When the spokesperson for the Native Americans in the eye,
49:15
Speaker 7: I can't remember.
49:16
Speaker 1: What tribe it was. I was like, yeah, we'll take
49:19
Speaker 1: the house if she's willing to give us the house.
49:21
Speaker 7: And then silence from Billie Eilish because they don't like
49:25
Speaker 7: it when it shows up at their door. Anyone who
49:28
Speaker 7: was a fan of a sanctuary city started to not
49:32
Speaker 7: like it once Texas started to send people out to
49:34
Speaker 7: Chicago or anywhere else that claimed that they were sanctuary cities.
49:38
Speaker 7: All right, I want to play one last thing in
49:39
Speaker 7: the world of politics, and I can't help, but I
49:42
Speaker 7: do want to play this too. This is Ram Emmanuel,
49:46
Speaker 7: one time adviser to Barack Obama, saying how ridiculous ridiculous,
49:52
Speaker 7: ridiculous some of these Democratic positions are, and how the
49:55
Speaker 7: Democratic Party is in fact out of touch. Of course,
49:58
Speaker 7: this won't land anywhere it's supposed to land. It's people
50:01
Speaker 7: like me who play it because we like that someone
50:03
Speaker 7: on the left is saying the thing the rest of
50:06
Speaker 7: us know is true. And I dumbly assume that this
50:09
Speaker 7: would do a better job of demonstrating that I'm not
50:12
Speaker 7: just giving you a bias opinion, that I'm giving you
50:14
Speaker 7: an opinion that people on the left even think is accurate.
50:18
Speaker 1: But who knows.
50:18
Speaker 7: We'll go ahead and play it anyway, just for you know, giggles,
50:21
Speaker 7: and see how we go here.
50:22
Speaker 2: Here it is twenty twenty eight is a choice election,
50:25
Speaker 2: and we better be able to show people that were
50:27
Speaker 2: grounded in their values and grounded in their economics. And
50:31
Speaker 2: anything that gets into defunding the police or bathroom access
50:35
Speaker 2: rather than classroom excellence is a distraction from actually what
50:39
Speaker 2: President Clinton President Obama, who both normally get elected reelected,
50:42
Speaker 2: showed us how to win. We don't have to relearn
50:44
Speaker 2: this letter.
50:45
Speaker 7: We have to yeah, we don't have to relearn this lesson.
50:47
Speaker 7: And actually, the funny thing about Obama is he even
50:49
Speaker 7: really campaigned pretty hard against like deporting people, keeping people
50:53
Speaker 7: out of the country that aren't supposed to be here,
50:54
Speaker 7: and the Democrats of today.
50:56
Speaker 1: Not that I'm actually praising Obama.
50:57
Speaker 7: There's a lot of things he did that I didn't like, obviously,
51:00
Speaker 7: as you know too, But even he seemed to understand
51:04
Speaker 7: that some of these policies of twenty twenty six just
51:06
Speaker 7: do not play with the United States citizen base, the
51:12
Speaker 7: average everyday US citizen that some Democrats, like asan Piker,
51:16
Speaker 7: seem to think is actually a good thing. All Right,
51:18
Speaker 7: we're just about out of time, and I like to
51:20
Speaker 7: do as much as I can of sillier stuff. I
51:23
Speaker 7: call it a quick four ish set of topics. Usually
51:26
Speaker 7: I'm attempting to do four of these topics. I'm not
51:29
Speaker 7: gonna have enough time to do it. But we can't
51:30
Speaker 7: just do serious stuff and political stuff all the time,
51:33
Speaker 7: or we'd go crazy.
51:35
Speaker 1: This is not necessarily fun, though. This is kind of sad.
51:38
Speaker 7: One of the stars of Heroes, Hayden Panitieri, died yesterday.
51:44
Speaker 7: She was thirty six years old. I saw when it
51:47
Speaker 7: first broke that she had passed away, that people weren't
51:51
Speaker 7: really sure what happened, but inevitably today the announcement. The
51:55
Speaker 7: update is that she likely died of an overdose. The
51:59
Speaker 7: nine to one one call that made and she was
52:01
Speaker 7: in South Carolina even though she doesn't live there, in
52:04
Speaker 7: an airbnb with an on again, off again boyfriend who
52:06
Speaker 7: had beaten her in the package is horrible, But I
52:10
Speaker 7: guess the only reason to mention this, and certainly not
52:12
Speaker 7: an uplifting a way to end the show, is how
52:15
Speaker 7: much of a talented person I thought she was back
52:17
Speaker 7: when I saw her in Heroes, and how often it
52:20
Speaker 7: seems that Hollywood destroys people. Hayden Panitieri, if I'm saying
52:24
Speaker 7: her last name correctly, is someone that had been in
52:27
Speaker 7: television or movies or commercials from like the age of
52:32
Speaker 7: an infant. I think the first thing she did in
52:36
Speaker 7: media she said she didn't even remember she was a baby,
52:38
Speaker 7: in like some commercial for baby food or something. And
52:42
Speaker 7: then she was in soap operas and all kinds of things,
52:43
Speaker 7: and inevitably in a couple bigger TV shows, Heroes in
52:47
Speaker 7: Nashville among them, that gets chewed up and spit out
52:51
Speaker 7: by Hollywood, a place.
52:53
Speaker 1: That is hardcore left, hardcore liberal.
52:56
Speaker 7: And claims that they care about people, and yet we
52:58
Speaker 7: see this story again and again and again of a
53:01
Speaker 7: horrific thing happening with a young person. And actually, what's
53:05
Speaker 7: really interesting to me is that a co star of hers, I.
53:09
Speaker 1: Think in a Disney movie.
53:10
Speaker 7: I didn't see it, but I saw that this all
53:12
Speaker 7: trended online also died, Michelle Trachtenberg, like a year ago,
53:17
Speaker 7: and I think she died of like diabetes complications or
53:19
Speaker 7: something horrible. In the case of Hayden Pannetieri, who had
53:23
Speaker 7: recently wrote a memoir about her struggles with addiction and
53:27
Speaker 7: other things, she likely died of an overdose. But it's
53:31
Speaker 7: just insane to think how Hollywood takes these people and
53:34
Speaker 7: just absolutely choose them up and spits them right back
53:37
Speaker 7: out into the world in just sort of the most
53:39
Speaker 7: horrific way it possibly can. All Right, that's it. That's
53:42
Speaker 7: the whole show. We don't have time for anything else.
53:44
Speaker 7: I did have more fun stuff planned, like a woman
53:47
Speaker 7: who spray painted herself to try to hide in trees.
53:51
Speaker 1: And also I was trying not to get an hoa.
53:54
Speaker 7: I think, fine, but I'll probably talk about that tomorrow
53:57
Speaker 7: because anybody who's anywhere in the world or in this
54:00
Speaker 7: country that tries to defeat in hoa by spray painting
54:04
Speaker 7: yourself and hiding in the forest is somebody I at
54:06
Speaker 7: least want to talk about, not saying I agree with
54:08
Speaker 7: them on all the things they do, but I'm at
54:10
Speaker 7: least amused because a lot of people hate their hoa.
54:13
Speaker 1: But that's it. That's the show.
54:14
Speaker 7: As I said, we're back tomorrow from six to seven o'clock.
54:16
Speaker 7: Chris Salcedo is a guest that will be on to
54:19
Speaker 7: talk about his legendary run in Mornings here.
54:22
Speaker 1: Talk to you next time.
