Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Mail-In Ballot Limits, and Kash Patel's FBI Crime Numbers · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. That's me.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: He's not.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Here right now.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: On KSV Radio.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I want to do like a godfather. This is KSV
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Radio in the morning show with Craig Colonese and Wayne Dolcefino,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: who is on special assignment. Every time I hear that
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: new intro, I want to do like a godfather voice.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: And I shouldn't do that. It's not a thing I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: should do, but I want to. I do want to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: play this audio immediately. A big announcement was made yesterday
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: by the Supreme Court. They are going to reject the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Trump administration's attempt to restrict mail-in ballots from being sent
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: out to people that aren't actually registered voters or verified
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: voters or some version of protection from sending ballots to anybody,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: whether or not they really should be voting in an election. Like,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: proactively seeking a mail-in ballot from people who don't have
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a right to vote did seem like a good move,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: The Supreme Court says, no, we're not going to let
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that happen. Let me play this breaking news audio.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Breaking news, the Supreme Court just dealing a major loss
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: for Trump here in the past few seconds, rejecting his
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: plan for new restrictions on mail-in voting. This comes just
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: 50 days before the midterm elections. As already, there have
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: been two states that have already started mailing out ballots,
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: others not far behind.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Joan Biskupic is out front. I don't care about Joan. Joan,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you're just getting this. John, stop it there. Don't, don't.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You can say whatever your thoughts are. Here's the reason
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I played this at the beginning of the second hour
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of the show, is people who say that the Supreme
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Court needs to be just stuffed with more individuals on
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the left because everything they do, they do it for Trump.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: They ignore every one of these decisions that comes out
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that does not agree with the president of the United States.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And I can attack the individual Supreme Court justices. I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: do absolutely think they made the wrong decision, even though
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it was a 7-2 decision. So it was only really
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Alito and Thomas that I think dissented. Everybody else was
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: in favor of not allowing Trump to intervene in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: last moment. I think most of it is because of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the the way that this is trying to be done
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to try to upend mail in voting and the proactive
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: seeking of people to vote by mail. But nonetheless, like
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I'll still say this, and this is more important to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: me than arguing whether or not this is a thing
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that should have happened, whether the Supreme Court should have
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: made the decision they did. is they constantly disagree with
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: President Trump. And there's people out there who just don't
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: believe that, don't pay attention to that, or won't acknowledge it,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: even when they hear stuff like this. I know there's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: probably a lot of people walking around right now who
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: think that the Supreme Court is in the pocket of
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the current president, who believe that he just tried to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: do something way too crazy, and that's why they slapped
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: his hand this time. but by and large they'll do
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: what he wants, and that's not true. I'll just put
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that out there one more time. This is not the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: first time, and this won't be the last time, the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court has disagreed with this president, will disagree with
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: other presidents, they'll agree with Democrats that they're not supposed
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to agree with. I just think it's amazing to refute
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that belief system because it's the beginning of a lot
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of other stuff too. If you're someone who walks around
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: thinking the Supreme Court has been– I don't know, just ruined, infiltrated,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: destroyed by President Trump and his ability to legally put
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: people in it, then you're someone who wouldn't even remotely
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: come to the same conclusion I came to, that the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: rejection of a Trump desire is definitive proof that the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court is still behaving as the separate branch of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: government it was designed to be, even if I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: like some of the decisions they make. And people who
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: don't understand that are, well, morons. I don't know how
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to say that different. I also want to play this.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I talked about it a little bit earlier in the show,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but this was actually the announcement that happened yesterday.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: J.D.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Vance talking about a crap ton of fraud, small business
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: administration fraud, all kinds of things, medical fraud that the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: White House has been finding and uncovering and outing. This
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: is a thing we wanted. This is a thing I
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: voted for. Let's go ahead and play on this announcement.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: American people has probably been the most zealous, anti-fraud person
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: in the entire administration. We are going to suspend 870,000
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: people permanently, people who defrauded the government over the last
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: couple of years, the last couple of decades. We're going
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: to make it impossible for them to get loans from
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: the federal government. If you think about the PPP program,
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: which was set up by Congress and by the administration
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: during the first Trump administration to ensure that our small
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: businesses were able to operate in the incredibly challenging environment
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: that was created by the COVID pandemic and, of course,
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: by the state government response to the COVID pandemic, what
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: we did is we created a program to ensure that
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: small businesses were able to operate and, importantly, American workers
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: were able.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: To be supported.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: But as happens with so many of the programs that
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: are born out of the generosity of the American taxpayer,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: we had many, many people who took advantage of those.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Programs, people who decided to steal from.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: The American taxpayer and steal money that was supposed to
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: go to small businesses and American workers. Well, we think
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: it makes sense that if you were caught stealing from
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: the American taxpayer, you shouldn't be able to benefit from
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: these loans anymore.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, I 100 percent agree with you. And I think
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it's ridiculous that it takes till 2026 for us to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: actively do anything to try to out more of the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: people who committed this kind of fraud, who did this
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: kind of terrible stuff in the world of PPP or
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: PPE loans, personal protective equipment loans and whatnot. Just so
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: much fraud. And honestly, like, I don't know a better
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: way to say it because it does sound kind of
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: like you're just spouting whatever kind of crap politicians might
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: be selling to say this out loud as often as
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I do. But I'm not doing it because I'm trying
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to further a political narrative. I'm doing it because I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: definitively believe it to be true. This administration has taken
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: down a lot more fraud than people seem to be
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: aware of. And it's one of the things I most
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: want them to be doing. I want the people in
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: charge to destroy the you can call it deep state,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: whatever word you want to choose for it. The broken
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: system that allows for people to enrich themselves through Washington, D.C.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: A tremendous amount of politicians do it. A tremendous amount
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of other people do it. Family members of politicians do it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden does. was a great example of someone doing
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: some crazy, ridiculous stuff. This type of work to go
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: this road, to fight these sort of things, is exactly
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the thing that we voted for. And the big problem,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: at least to me, is how little people seem to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: be aware of this being the kind of thing that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: actually is happening as much as it is. That one
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: of the biggest mistakes, and you hear this all the time,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest about this too, on both sides of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the aisle, Whenever somebody's in power, you hear inevitably the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: excuse that we're not doing a good job selling our
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: wins to the American people more, but they're not. At
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the same time, even if constantly that is more rhetoric
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: than reality, in this case, I think it absolutely is
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: reality that there are things happening, whether it's shutting down
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the border again, whether it's the amount of fraud that
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: actually is being cared about and looked into and discovered,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and then hopefully, eventually, people that you've heard of are
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: held accountable to some extent to those things. But nonetheless,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: even if that doesn't happen, a lot of people you've
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: never heard of are getting thrown in jail. That is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: definitively a good thing because it gets us to a
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: place closer to having a whole lot less of this.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I will also say that Mitch McConnell has made an appearance.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I don't have audio. I just have a video. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people don't actually watch this
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: on social media, but you can. YouTube, Rumble, and X
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: were on all three of those platforms today. When Wayne
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: is here, we'll also be on a bunch of Facebook platforms,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: including his, which apparently did really well yesterday. I was
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: told by Wayne, I think toward the tail end of
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the day, that the numbers on his Facebook for people
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that watched our two-hour radio show, significantly higher than the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: numbers we're seeing some other places, which is awesome. But
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I'd love for those numbers to tick up on our
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: own social media platforms, too. So like KSEV Radio or KSEV,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I think it's 700 AM on Facebook is a good
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: place to go to pay a lot of attention to that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless, as I was saying a second ago, Mitch
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: McConnell did pop up. He was walking around. He is voting.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: He is not running for any sort of office anymore.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I think this will be his last term in office, which...
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: If you see him, and if I could show this
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: video to anyone listening just via the radio, he doesn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: remotely look like a human being that should be doing
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: political work anymore. He doesn't look healthy enough. He doesn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: look like the kind of individual that should be focused
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: on anything other than his own day-to-day health. He should
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: just— I' ll say this. I've said it before. I'll say it again,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and then we'll take a break. I can't understand, no
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: matter how much corruption and money and whatever you have
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: access to, I'm not saying Mitch McConnell specifically has that,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying he doesn't, I'm just saying, no matter
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: how much wealth you can accumulate by being in government,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: when you're dying, like literally when you're I don't know
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: how much time you have left on this earth part
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of your life. I don't understand why people don't go away.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why they don't willingly decide. Like, how
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: can the power be that attractive that even in those
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: final moments, months, years, whatever it is, where you acknowledge
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that what you're doing has a finite amount of time left,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that you don't just focus on you in a way
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: to get away from everything. If I was wealthy enough,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: as many of those politicians are, to just decide to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: stop doing anything other than care for myself at that
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: stage of my life when health becomes a primary concern,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: that's all I do. And if I get healthy enough,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: like if I focus on me for long enough for
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that to be a fixed problem, for it to not
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: be an issue day to day anymore, then guess what?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I go back into the world and I work again
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: in whatever capacity I want to, especially at that level.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: where you could try to even again run for office.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: If you got completely better, if your health suddenly took
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a turn and you're miraculously totally fine, then sure, go
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: back into it. Of course, that doesn't happen a lot,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: so we don't see that a lot. But I just
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: can't get over that, that people like Mitch McConnell would
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: still hang on to power for a few more months,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a few more years, whatever they can, at a time
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: when I'd be the furthest thing from desiring to be
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: a day-to-day politician. All right, quick break. A lot more.

• 13:42
  Speaker 1: 700 This is the voice of Texas.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: My name is Craig colonies. This is your KSV morning show.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: The mob guys. Hey, I love every time I say
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the mob guys that Wayne Dolcefino says a at his microphone.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm a Wayne is on special assignment. We are here
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: every single day, Monday through Friday from seven to nine o'clock.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I was going to say something to Russell about the
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: ridiculous amount of points scored in week one in the NFL.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Seven hundred ninety one. total points, including last night. It
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: looked like a lot of the offense was going pretty
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: well for the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't understand. This
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: is the most points in a week one. I think
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: it ties with 2012. Usually defenses are much more at
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a point that seems ready week one than offenses right now.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: What the hell is going on is my question to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Russell who does the press box.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you. They were clicking.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: It's a high-scoring game here with the Texans. I mean,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: they have one of the top defenses. Same thing with
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the Broncos. You mentioned with the Chiefs, they put up
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: 31 points last night. You know, Lamar Jackson looked like
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: he was in rare MVP form against the Colts. They
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: spanked him, dropped 40-burger on him.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: In week one!
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, in week one. And then, of course, the Bears
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: and the Panthers played an arena football league game instead
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: of an NFL game with a score of 59 to,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: what was it, 37.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bears was insane. I can't believe the Bears
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: are going to be a good offensive team. That's very
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: confusing to me as a guy that lived in Chicago.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I know that they were good last year, but It's
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: been a while for them to be that good. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that'll keep up. Even the Giants
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: winning against the Cowboys and being able to score a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: lot of touchdowns in week one was weird. You think
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: this will go on? You think it's going to be
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of offense?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: I think we'll see a lot more of this, yes.
• 15:38
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: That's probably a good thing, right? People like offense. They
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: like it in any sport. They changed baseball a couple
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: times to try to make offense more of a part
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of the game, especially the pitch clock, which is so dumb.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: To me, I think the design of that was to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: rush pitchers a little bit to make a couple more mistakes. But, yeah,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the NFL in Week 1 was nuts. And the Chicago Bears, 59-37,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: was insane. It set a new single-game record for Week 1,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I think, in the history of the sport with 96
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: total points. But I was just thinking about that driving
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: in today, listening to the press box and the way
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: that Mahomes looked pretty good already. And a lot of
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks look very good. And that's not normal. In the
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: world of football, it usually takes the offense a few
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: weeks to truly get going, even into the regular season.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: But I think I did see at least— I can't remember
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: what head coach. Somebody on the sideline was asked a
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: question about this, and he said that the way the
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: teams prepare now, it might be easier to get the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: offense going. There's more of a focus or something about
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the way that teams play that the offenses do seem
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: to click quicker than— than in the past. And I
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: don't remember who said that or where that actually comes from,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: because I can't validate it. But I did at least
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: hear it at least on one sideline during one of
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: several games in which offense was much higher than you
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: expected it to be.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Some other things out there in the world of politics
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: that I do think matter today. And AI was a
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: bigger conversation. You can call in and be a part
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: of the show if you want to offer your opinion
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: about AI. It is something that I took a couple
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of calls on it in the first hour.
• 17:14
  Speaker 14: 281-558-5738.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's 281-558-KSEV or 5738 to call in. And I really
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: want two answers from people if you do call the show.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I want to know how much you use AI first,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: and then I want to know what you think of it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: And so far, I think the listeners barely use it.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: The listeners that we talk to don't do anything in
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the world of AI. I find that interesting because my
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: mother is a teacher. And my mom uses AI all
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the time to like rewrite emails and stuff. And this
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: is just like in her personal life. And I started
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: doing that kind of because of my mother. So I
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: don't think it's just a generational thing. I don't think
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: that just younger generations are using this to a greater
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: degree than other generations are. I think once you discover it,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: once you start using it in some sort of simplistic sense,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you use AI more and more and more. It very
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: quickly becomes a thing that I think you rely on
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: a decent amount because of how capable it already is.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: And that's the other thing that surprises the hell out
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: of me, is how capable AI is. You might not
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: think it can do something, and you go to it
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: and you ask it some questions, and then you figure out, okay,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: it can actually help me do this thing that I
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: didn't know it could do. Although, and I know that
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: at least one of the callers in the last hour said,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: that it kind of infects other systems. I will also
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: put this out there in the world of my thoughts
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: on AI, because this was a chat GPT thing that
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I was doing. Every time I asked it for something
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: it was incapable of doing, it tried to connect me
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: to another program, another website, another company that had a
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: paid version of that extra layer thing. And I'll just
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: fully give you an example, because it's kind of hard
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: to understand without context. The brand new show intro that
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I made on social media, it's kind of a bad
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: cartoony graphic of a logo driving toward downtown Houston and
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: some very cartoony versions of some landmarks in Houston pass
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: by on the left and the right of the roadside.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: That was incredibly hard for AI to build on its own.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: It took me a week and a half. It was
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: not worth it. The thing I'm kind of happy about
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the thing, if you watch the beginning of the show
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: and you see it, I'm not happy enough with it
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: that I think I put way too much effort in
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: for not the right gain. And I think that probably
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: happens with people with AI is that you push it
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: as hard as it can go in some capacity and
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: you don't get what you want. And so you waste
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: it a lot of time. But nonetheless, I will also
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: say that as I was doing that, every time it
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: hit a roadblock that it wasn't programmed to circumvent or
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to climb, it tried to push me to some other
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: program and sign me up for a thing that would
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: have cost me money. And luckily, it didn't have any
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: of my payment information. So every time it tried to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: do that, I said, no, And then we stopped, which
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: was good. But I can see that being a pretty
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: big part of how people inevitably get taken advantage of
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: by AI, is that if there wasn't a check in
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: place that it can just go do whatever it wants
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and kind of represent to be me. And actually, you
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: might not care about this. I did find this interesting, too.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: There were a couple of times in that process where
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: it came back and told me. that one of the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: websites asked it to prove it wasn't a computer and
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: it couldn't do it, which I thought was funny. AI
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: was like, this program is asking me to prove I'm
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: not a computer. And I am one. So I don't
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: know how to move forward. And I thought I would say, like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I can prove I'm a human, but it'll just probably
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: hit that roadblock again. So I thought that was funny, too. Like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: that's the first time I've been on the wrong side
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: of the I can't prove I'm not a computer thing
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: with something I was asking AI to do. But 281-558-5738,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: if you want to call in and give me your
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: opinion of artificial intelligence, the president of the United States
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: has talked about it a lot in the last, say,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: 24 hours, including saying that a lot of the doomerism,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of the everything is going to be bad
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and Terminator is going to take over and shoot us
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: all thing is overblown. It's a hoax. And actually, I
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: thought Ben Shapiro did a pretty good job on... on
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: CNN of all places, in talking about the two different
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: versions of things that you're seeing, the two different arguments
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: being made to restrict AI and how both of them
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: have their flaws. You know what, I'll go ahead and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: play that audio because I do think it's a pretty
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: good basis of the disagreement or discussion, and we can
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: kind of go from there. But I'll probably move on
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: from AI too if we don't get more phone calls
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: on that because there are several other things out there
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: And I will play a Tallarico audio again that I
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: think is very likely to be in a brand new
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: pack ad coming out in the near future because it
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: demonstrates how full of crap he is. But here, before
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: we take a break, let's do this. This is Ben
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Shapiro on CNN answering a question about the two different
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: objections to AI and where they come from.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: So, Ben, is the argument here that AI is not
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: as powerful– as they make it seem, and that therefore
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: cannot do all the bad things, cause a jobs apocalypse,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: cause the end of the human race? Or is it
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: that China's going to do it anyway, so we might
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: as well just do what they do?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a little bit of both.
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: I think one argument is that the risks are being
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: exaggerated by people who have a very strong interest in
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: regulatory capture, who want to write the regulations themselves. Most
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: of the people who are pushing the apocalyptic talk very
• 22:51
  Speaker 13: hard are people who are heads of closed models. They're
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: very afraid of open models that theoretically... could challenge them,
• 22:57
  Speaker 13: and also they have liability in court that open models don't.
• 23:01
  Speaker 13: So looking for regulation for a sort of regulatory harbor
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: that allows them to develop without the possibility of products.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Liability is a good idea for them.
• 23:08
  Speaker 13: So I think that's one argument. The other argument is
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: the argument that Alex Karp over at Palantir has made,
• 23:12
  Speaker 13: which I think is exactly right, which is China has
• 23:15
  Speaker 13: no concern about any of this. China's just going to
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: race forward, and China– if they outstrip us, is simply
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: going to beat us. And if they beat us in
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: the AI race, then we will all be using Chinese models,
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: and that will come along with all the strings that
• 23:25
  Speaker 13: are attached to that, including military dominance by China.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have also made that, a lot of people,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I think, have made that argument. I don't think it's
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: just been one person, although a person closely tied to
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: AI is the one that Ben Shapiro is referencing there. Nonetheless,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I agree with both positions. I agree with the first part,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: that there are people that are pushing for regulations right
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: now because it benefits them. from a business standpoint, especially
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: if they're a closed model, meaning that their code, their
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: technology is not open sourced. So they're trying to benefit
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: from it and profit from it in a very different
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: way than, say, open sourced material is. So in those cases,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: those companies are pushing for regulations to prevent the people
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: that might eventually harm their ability to make money. That's fine.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: That's true. And then also that China won't give a
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: crap about any of this. So they'll blaze forward regardless.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of what we do in a way that does put
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: us in jeopardy in a lot of risk. But again,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I'm fascinated at the conversation and the back and forth discussion.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I know Wayne is too. He was texting me a
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: bunch of AI stuff last night. And when he's on tomorrow,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: we'll probably do his topics. I didn't want to do
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: them without him. So he has a couple AI things
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: that we'll talk about again tomorrow. And I get both
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: sides of the belief that AI is dangerous and that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: AI also is essential. And can't possibly be ignored moving forward.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But after the break, we'll come back.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about some other things. I'm not in the
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: world of AI and I have some Tallarico audio, brand
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: new Tallarico audio that I think people do need to
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: hear because it continues to show. And maybe I'm preaching
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: to the choir. Maybe everybody out there already believes the
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: thing that I believe, but it continues to show that
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: he's full of crap in what he says about and
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: what he actually believes, and how far he's trying to
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: distance himself from himself. Quick break, a lot more. This
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: is KSEV Mornings, The Voice of Texas, Craig Collins, Wayne

• 26:47
  Speaker 11: the Backyard Bay radio program presented by Miller Pools and
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: Texan Pools. Now at our new time, every Saturday morning
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: at 9 a.m. And what we do here on the
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: Backyard Bay radio program is talk about your backyard. And
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: this time of year, wow, it's so hard not to
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: just spend all your time out in the Backyard Bay.
• 27:10
  Speaker 11: And I know sometimes you have questions. That's why we
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: do the Backyard Bay Radio program. To get you good,
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: solid answers to any kind of questions that you may
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: have concerning your swimming pools. Or I'm looking to build a.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: New swimming pool.
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: Join me this weekend for the Backyard Bay Radio program.
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: Now at our new time, every Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
• 27:35
  Speaker 11: Right here on The Voice.
• 27:39
  Speaker 16: From the KSEV Weather Center, today will be humid with
• 27:42
  Speaker 16: partial sunshine and there is a chance of a thunderstorm
• 27:44
  Speaker 16: in some areas this afternoon with a high of 95.
• 27:47
  Speaker 16: Tonight will be mainly clear, warm and humid with a
• 27:49
  Speaker 16: low of 76. Tomorrow will be humid with a mix
• 27:51
  Speaker 16: of clouds and sun and there could be a thunderstorm
• 27:53
  Speaker 16: in spots in the afternoon with a high of 93.
• 27:55
  Speaker 16: Thursday will be partly sunny and humid with widely separated
• 27:58
  Speaker 16: thunderstorms possible and a high of 91. Friday is expected
• 28:02
  Speaker 16: to be mostly sunny with a high of 94. With
• 28:04
  Speaker 16: the KSEV Weather Center forecast, I'm AccuWeather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: KSEV Mornings on The Voice of Texas, 700 AM. I
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: am Craig Colonnese. I just said Collins before that last break.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to forget that I have a fake and
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: now a real radio name. My real actual name, Craig Colonnese.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: We're the Italians. Wayne Dolcefino, the other one, he is
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: on special assignment. And I like that we've started to
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: call ourselves the Mob Guys. I'm having fun with that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I do want to play Tallarico audio. This is audio
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that's going viral. I think Ken Paxton even shared part
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: of this. On his social media account. But it did
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: start with the Lone Star Liberty Pact, which shared this
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: a little bit after I think we got off the
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: air yesterday, Wayne and I. And I do think this
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: is a big deal because the most recent change, one
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: of several in the world of Tallarico, pretending he's not
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the insane, crazy person that he is and hoping that
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: a bunch of people are stupid enough to believe him
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: when he says, I promise I'm not the insane, crazy
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: person that I am. we can prove that he's lying.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: We can prove that he behaved quite differently in a
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: position of political power in Austin. And he defended all
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: kinds of things in the world of transgender treatment, gender, whatever.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. But he keeps talking about the child's
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: gender identity, and he's talking about a kid. And some
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: of us call this gender dysphoria, which is a medical
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: diagnosis for someone who doesn't feel comfortable in the body
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: they're in for reasons that go way beyond thinking that
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: they're the wrong sex. These are people that just are
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: simply ashamed of their body. Sometimes they need medical and
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: mental health therapy to get over that. But they don't
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: need a change. They don't need surgery of any kind.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: And Tallarico is talking about this very differently. And I
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: do love the committee that he's on as they're discussing this.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Several of the other Texas politicians are willing to look
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: him in the face and say, we just wholeheartedly disagree
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: because he seemed to be trying to to be nicer
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: about the fact that they don't agree with each other.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: And they were totally fine just saying out loud, yeah,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: we think you're crazy and wrong. So here, I'll play
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: some of this audio.
• 30:34
  Speaker 17: I think there are some folks that would think that
• 30:39
  Speaker 17: if you deny your child's gender identity, that that's incredibly harmful.
• 30:43
  Speaker 17: And And whether or not we label it with the
• 30:45
  Speaker 17: term abuse, I mean, it's abusive for sure. And so
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: that's where I think some of us have concerns, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 17: I don't want to speak for other members. Yeah, well,
• 30:54
  Speaker 17: should it say, or you're suggesting it ought to say
• 30:57
  Speaker 17: that it should include a.
• 30:59
  Speaker 18: Person's willingness or unwillingness to acknowledge.
• 31:01
  Speaker 17: A child's gender, or should it be silent as to
• 31:04
  Speaker 17: whether that is abuse, whether it needs it at all?
• 31:09
  Speaker 17: My just concern is ruling it out as not being
• 31:12
  Speaker 17: abuse I think is dangerous and could certainly harm some
• 31:16
  Speaker 17: of our most vulnerable kids in the state.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: The only thing.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I'll just say just for my colleagues– or I'm a
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: girl when your child's a boy, that if the parent
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: doesn't treat that as true, essentially tries to get a
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: child help, again, for something called gender dysmorphia, that was
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: fairly easily accessible, I think, in any sort of medical
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: document for a while, and now probably is harder for
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: people to find. But anyway, that if you are to
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: approach that situation by telling your child that they are,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: in fact, the sex they were born, you might be
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: abusing them. That's Tallarico's position. And the rest of the
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: committee is looking at him like, what now? Like, what
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: are you saying? This is crazy. And Tallarico just keeps
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: going to.
• 32:17
  Speaker 17: Help crystallize disagreement or at least the concerns is that
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: is that is that some of us, I think, really
• 32:25
  Speaker 17: do consider this abusive behavior. So when we talk about
• 32:29
  Speaker 17: neutrality or privacy, clarify the use of that, sorry, an
• 32:33
  Speaker 17: unwillingness to identify or to acknowledge child's. gender identity. We
• 32:39
  Speaker 17: consider that abusive to the child.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Abusive and destructive.
• 32:43
  Speaker 17: And I don't mean, I'm not trying to use legal terms,
• 32:46
  Speaker 17: but I say that because if that's our belief, a
• 32:50
  Speaker 17: foundational belief, then the idea of being neutral on any
• 32:54
  Speaker 17: kind of abuse seems worrisome to us.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. That's not a foundational belief that we have,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: that rejecting the gender dysmorphia that a child is presenting
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: to you as a kid Like a little kid is saying, hey,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I'm a boy, and they're not. They're a girl. It's
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Here's my favorite example to use. Actually,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I have two examples that I can use. One, when
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I was a little kid, I thought I was Batman.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I put on my Batman outfit, and I thought I
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: was Batman. And I do remember my grandfather used to
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: drive us around in his very black fancy car. I
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: think it was a Cadillac, actually, if I remember correctly.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: And he pretended it was the Batmobile. He said he'd
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: hit a button, and I was like three or four,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: so I was gullible, and I was wearing my Batman
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: costume occasionally. I thought I was riding around in a Batmobile.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: That was fine as far as a lie goes to
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: tell me, but then if I got up on a
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: building and wanted to jump off and said I was Batman,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: my grandfather also would have told me, no, I am
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: not in fact Batman, and I can't fly with the
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: cape that I had on. Those kind of things. You
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: reject a lot of the ridiculous narratives the kids tell themselves.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: To help them live in reality. And the second example,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: which I love, I've used this before on the radio,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: and the uncle that I talk about gets a little
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: mad sometimes. But I was like 10, 11 years old,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: and I was a big fan of Michael Jordan. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I kept talking about how I was going to make
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: it in the NBA. I was like an 11-year-old kid.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm going to make it. I'm going
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: to be an NBA player. And my uncle just crushed
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: that dream. He was like, you know, Craig, I don't
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: know if you'll sprout, but right now you're not exactly
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the size of someone. who is barreling toward the NBA,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: he told me a lot, like physically, your height, all
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: this stuff was going to matter more than you want
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: it to. He crushed my dream. And I think even
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: my mom was mad at him that he did that.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: But what I find funny about that, looking back at
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: it as an adult man who's just five foot ten now, like, yeah,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I wasn't going to make it in the NBA. It
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: was unlikely. that I was going to wind up being
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: the next Michael Jordan that I thought I was at
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: 11 years old. And there's something healthy about that inevitable
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: reality with a kid that helps them grow and become
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: a better adult human that is not the case in
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: what Tallarico is saying. If everything your child believes you
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: treat like it's true, I think you endanger the child
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: a lot more than if you tell them the truth
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: and keep them grounded in In reality, I think that
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: it's very simply just the case. Any parent would tell
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: you that there's a ridiculous amount of examples of this.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: But one of the most damaging or dangerous to me
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: right now is something like this, where people would guilt
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: a parent into believing that they're not helping their kid
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: to tell their kid you're a boy when they are
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: a boy and are sort of claiming they're a girl.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you another story because there's a family
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: member of mine. who went through a thing like this
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: as a kid, not where they fully thought that they
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: were the opposite sex or anything, but that has helped
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: contextualize this for me as an adult, because a lot
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: of people talk about this. And I know somebody in
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: my family who for a while was pretty ashamed of
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: her body. It's a girl. And she didn't like the attention,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: especially in puberty, that you got when your body starts
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: to change and people are paying attention to you differently.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: She didn't like that. She wasn't a fan of that.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And she told me that the way that she felt
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: as a younger kid was jealous of boys. It wasn't
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: that she wanted to be a boy or she thought
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: she was a boy, but she felt jealous that at
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: times the the boys didn't focus as much on the
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: things going on with our bodies. And this is something
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: that's funny to me because a lot of girls probably
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: don't know that we are. But nonetheless, like that was
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: that was the feeling. And I just wonder if in
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: the society we're in now. if my family member had
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: been raised by someone radical and crazy that believes that
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it's okay, if that would have encouraged someone to start thinking, well,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm a boy, maybe I'm not a girl, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: you just warp this sense of reality in such a
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: way that damages people, it is not inaccurate to say
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: that the amount of people who identify as the opposite
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: sex from what they're born, like what they're currently living as,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: has skyrocketed over the last few years. The amount of people,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: especially young people, and I've heard from other people that
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I know about like even, you know, kids in classrooms
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: that say, hey, to their teacher, refer to me as
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: a boy, even though I'm a girl or vice versa.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: And it's so odd. It's so confusing and strange, but
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: it's just become the next answer to a very typical,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I think, struggle and question that a lot of kids
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: have and how stuff changes as you get older. And
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: if someone feeds you an answer and you're young and
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: gullible enough to think that it's accurate, you'll run with it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: And case in point, again, is I think this huge
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: increase in the amount of people who are convinced of
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: something that wouldn't have been given to them as an
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: answer before, so they probably wouldn't have thought that it
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: was an accurate thing to describe. And what I mean
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: by that is, If a young kid is struggling during
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: puberty and you tell them the reason why is they
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: were born in the wrong body, they'll believe you. And
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: then they'll act a certain way that doesn't actually match
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: who they are. And I just think that that's the danger.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: And Tallarico sounds to me in this audio clip that's
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: going very viral, like the crazy, insane person that is
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: encouraging someone to accept a a statement from a kid
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: before a kid is mentally capable of even understanding what
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: they're saying. Like, kids develop and grow and change. You
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: can't treat a 10-year-old like they have the grasp on
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: even themselves that someone in their 20s, 30s, 40s will
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: have on who they are as a person. It's just
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: surreal that we're acting like children have adult brains. And
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: that's what we're acting like when we talk about some
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: of these conversations in the ways they talk about it.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: But now... Tallarico is saying that there are just two genders.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: So gender identity is confusing to me. If they're just
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: two genders, who gives a crap about how you identify?
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: And even more than that, he also said four genetic
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: abnormalities or something. But this is a person who definitively
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: believes the stuff that he's talked about before. You can
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: hear it in his voice. You can hear it in
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: how he seems to be the only person on this
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Texas committee. And of course he is saying the crazy
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: stuff that he's saying because he's the woke young person
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: that seems to think he's doing a good thing by
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: saying insane stuff.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless, I just think that these are the types
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: of clips and audio that need to wind up being
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: very viral because they'll disprove his new claim that he
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't think a lot of the crazy stuff that he believes.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll take another break. After the last break,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: we'll come back. I know that Kash Patel is in
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: front of the Senate today testifying about his role as
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: director of the FBI. He's done this before. It's usually awesome.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know that we'll have any audio to play
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: in the last 10 minutes or so before the show
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: is over, but I'm sure I'll probably have audio to
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: play from Kash Patel tomorrow. But there was a big
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: announcement from the FBI right before he walked into the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Senate chamber that I do want to talk about that, too,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: to sit down with the Judiciary Committee. So quick break.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: A lot more. This is KSEV Mornings, 700 a.m. The

  Speaker 6: Here on AM 700 KSEV and KSEVradio.com.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: KSEV Mornings. 700 AM, the voice of Texas, Craig Colonese,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Wayne Dolcefino, who is on special assignment. But I'm here,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: thrilled to be with you today. You can find us
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: on a bunch of social media, at KSEV Radio, on Facebook,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: although we're not actually live streaming there today. We will tomorrow.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: When Wayne's here, we'll embrace Facebook. When not, I like
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: that Salcedo kind of shunned it. Chris Salcedo, who did
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: this show for many, many years. Because meta sucks. They
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: really suck more than any other platform. But anyway, we're
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: also on YouTube, we're on Rumble, we're a bunch of places, X,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: so you can find us all over. Cash Patel is
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: going to, is testifying, I should say, in front of
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: the Senate, a judiciary committee. And I think that his
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: job at the FBI has been amazing. And I'll tell
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: you a few reasons why, but I'll also let part
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: of the breaking news just tell the story itself. They
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: have done a lot of great work since Cash took over,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of work that they're not credited for because
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: people are obsessed with talking about whether or not he
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: drinks while he's working, which seems ridiculous. But that's more
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: the obsession of left-leaning media is trying to talk about
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Cash Patel like he's some reckless, insane, terrible person who's
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: doing horrible things with the FBI when that couldn't be
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: further from the truth. A case in point is some
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: of these stories.
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: Here we go.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: If this one actually is going to play, I think
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: it's broken a little bit. I might have to restart.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: Here it is.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 44:44
  Speaker 19: 30 knives and a prayer rug, according to FBI Director
• 45:12
  Speaker 19: Kash Patel. He said, quote, once again, results like these
• 45:15
  Speaker 19: are exactly why we made changes to this FBI and
• 45:18
  Speaker 19: the way it runs to save lives before would-be criminals
• 45:21
  Speaker 19: can act. Attorney General Todd Blanch also praising the proactive operation.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: By the way, if you don't understand what's being talked
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: about here, because part of the quote from Kash Patel
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: also was that this person, radical and a supporter of ISIS,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: was planning a terrorist attack in Pennsylvania. In Butler, Pennsylvania,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: he was arrested and thrown in the hooscow. This is
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: a great job by the FBI detecting a threat and
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: confirming that threat and then throwing that threat in prison.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: And hopefully we see a lot more of this, too,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: and a lot more of an acknowledgment of how successful
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: this is. But that's one Patel thing. Kash Patel himself,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of his testimony in the Senate, mentioned
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: a few others.
• 46:04
  Speaker 18: Not only accelerate that mission, we have delivered. This has
• 46:09
  Speaker 18: been the most prolific run of crime reduction in the
• 46:12
  Speaker 18: United States history with the help of our great partners
• 46:15
  Speaker 18: since the beginning of the Trump administration. Here are a
• 46:17
  Speaker 18: few numbers, and behind these stats are lives saved across
• 46:21
  Speaker 18: the country. The FBI has arrested 54,000 violent criminals. That's
• 46:28
  Speaker 18: up 90% from the 18-month period prior to that. That's
• 46:32
  Speaker 18: making America safe. 31,000 violent gang members have been arrested
• 46:37
  Speaker 18: by the FBI. That's up 30% making America safe.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: We've removed, the.
• 46:43
  Speaker 18: FBI has removed 3,258 kilograms of fentanyl.
• 46:48
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 46:48
  Speaker 18: That's enough to kill a quarter billion Americans. That seizure
• 46:53
  Speaker 18: is up 8% by the FBI. That's making America safe.
• 46:57
  Speaker 18: We have located, found, and identified 11,081 child victims. That
• 47:03
  Speaker 18: is up 21 percent. That is making America safe. This
• 47:08
  Speaker 18: FBI has found and located more children than any FBI
• 47:11
  Speaker 18: in the history of this country.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Those are just some of the numbers. And by the way,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: the story about Hayden Panettiere and how she died has
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: kind of changed. It's not changed, but we know more
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: information about it. I guess the pill that she took
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: in the apartment she was in while she was traveling
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: with her ex-boyfriend or whatever was laced with fentanyl. So
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: it was one pill laced with something else. I don't know.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I don't remember from the story exactly what she thought
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: she was taking. But the laced with fentanyl thing is
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: what killed her. The famous actress who was on TV
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: shows and whatnot, including Heroes, a show I really liked,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: who is no longer alive and died in her 30s.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: That feels oddly like a demonstration of the danger of
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: fentanyl yet again. Not that we needed it from some
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: high profile Hollywood person that demonstrates how important the work
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: the FBI is doing and Kash Patel is doing. And
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: by the way, seizing fentanyl is different than blowing it
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: up in the water and anything else coming across the water.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: We can't seize that stuff that we blew up. So
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like the numbers could have been even higher
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: if we weren't blowing these drug boats up. I'm not
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: saying we should stop doing that. It's awesome that we're
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: doing it. It is the best deterrent I've ever seen
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: in the world of stopping people from trying to usher
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: drugs into our country. But nonetheless, it does cause a
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: bit of an issue. When you're up only 20% instead
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: of maybe more than that, it's because some of that
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: fentanyl is also at the bottom of the ocean, which is, again, fantastic.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: But Kash Patel will be challenged by a lot of
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: people on the left because they don't like him and
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: they don't like Trump and they don't like people who
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: were appointed by Trump. They just simply don't want to
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: acknowledge the success of these people because they don't want
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: them to succeed. And what's important about that What I'll
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: say to kind of close out the show is that
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: so many on the left now, I think this is
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: more true about Democrats than Republicans, cheer against America itself
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: if it benefits them politically. And that felt like for
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: a long time a radical thing to say. A lot
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: of people believed it, but it felt like you can't
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: possibly be someone who's serving our country that doesn't have
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: any of the best interests of the United States in
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: your heart. Like, I understand you might have interests that
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: are your own and those might harm the U.S. and
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: not help it. That's existed for a to the detriment
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: of anyone around them. Like that exists well beyond politics.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: You know people that do things that benefit them and
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: hurt everybody else around them. And that's just simple selfishness.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: And so I think that has long been a tried
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: and true version of politics, politicians, Democrats, Republicans, all kinds
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: of people. But I think even more now, because of
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: a hatred for Trump specifically, There are a lot of
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: politicians that actually cheer against the United States simply because
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: they think it harms Trump or it harms the political
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: opposition in a way that they like, like even if
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: it doesn't benefit them because bad things happen. For example,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Kash Patel, just to get back to it, if someone
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: were ever to be capable of removing him from his
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: current role in the FBI, it would probably make the
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: FBI weaker. They'd be less likely to be arresting as
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: many people as they're arresting because he's pushed for us
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: to do a lot more of this. And the numbers
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: are up across the board, as you just heard. And
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: if you take him away because you don't like him
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: or you don't like the people connected to him, you
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: harm the country. You protect less children that are being
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: rescued from situations they shouldn't be in, et cetera, et cetera.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Why do that would be my basic question. Why need
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: your political agenda to be, you know, above the ability
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: or the needs or the the benefit of society itself,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: not just the things you politically disagree with, where you
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: think the road you go might actually help us more
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: than hurt us, but the things that you definitively know
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: will hurt us that you advocate for anyway because you
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: don't like the wins on the other side. It's just,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: it's something that's, obviously, I think it's always also been
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: the case. I don't want to sound naive, but I
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: do think because of the uniqueness and the hatred of
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: President Trump himself or the people that surround him, And honestly,
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: the amount of media that sort of celebrated their assumption
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: or their belief that Trump is less popular, even though
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: he is still very popular with a lot of conservatives,
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: but that they think because certain moves have been made,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: certain decisions have happened, the war in Iran being probably
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: the best example of it, that a lot of people
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: think that there's blood in the water and so they're
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: attacking and they want to attack and it is what
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: it is. But nonetheless, I just think it's amazing that
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: that belief, that desire, that whatever you call it, arises
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: even higher on the priority board than it should for
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: so many politicians who just don't want to see things
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: that benefit all of America happen. Like they don't want
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: the war in Iran to end in a valuable way
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: because it would be too big of a win for Trump.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: So they don't want that to happen, even though everyone
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: in this country should want that to happen because it's
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: good for all of us. As I said before, I'll
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: say it again. I didn't have a lot of time
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: to pull much of the Kash Patel testimony he did
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: in front of the Senate today, or he's still doing.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: I bet you there's going to be some clips out
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: of it that we'll want. So we'll probably play those tomorrow.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Wayne wants to talk about AI. Wayne Dolcefino sent me
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: a couple clips about it yesterday. So we'll probably get
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: to that tomorrow on the show, too. This is a
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: 24-hour tease. We're back at 7 o'clock tomorrow. I'm Craig
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Collins on KSEV. Craig Collins A's on the KSEV Morning Show.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: using my real name now. He is Wayne Del Cefino.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: He should be in from his office. We'll talk to
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: you then. Have a great Tuesday, everybody. See you at
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Thunder!
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: And I knew there was no turning back.
• 53:18
  Speaker 16: Thunder!
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: My mind raced and I thought, what could I do?
• 53:25
  Speaker 17: Thunder!
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: And I knew there was no turning back.
• 53:32
  Speaker 19: AM 700.
