Trump's Bill Maher Attack, Anthropic's IPO and Carla Wyatt · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

0:11
And now,
0:15
the mob guys Craig Coglianese
0:18
and
0:22
Wayne Dolcefino,
0:38
This is the Mob, guys, on KSEV Radio.
0:42
My name is Craig Coglianese. Wayne D 'Altrifino is on special assignment.
0:46
Thrilled to be with you is a genuine thing that I feel every day when I'm on the
0:49
show or doing any radio anywhere, to be honest, but specifically in Texas.
0:54
I got to tell you, I really do like doing radio here in Texas.
0:57
I've been at this company for about a year now.
1:00
I brought in donuts. I don't think Russell got a donut because I brought them in
1:03
in the afternoon, which was me.
1:04
I'm going to bring in a donut just for Russell tomorrow for the show.
1:08
But I brought in some donuts because I hit the one -year mark here at the radio
1:12
station and I'm pretty happy about that.
1:15
And it's been a great time working at KSEV and also working in Houston, Texas,
1:19
where a whole lot of people who call this station or anybody who I happen to bump
1:23
into that that listens, which I wish were more people than it is.
1:28
And we need to fix that. If you're listening to the station, and probably most
1:32
likely you're doing it on the app, unless you're in certain communities here in
1:36
Houston. But if you're listening on the app, you gotta tell people how great it
1:39
is. Tell people how good the experience is, whatever the shows are that are your
1:43
favorite, doesn't have to be this show.
1:45
Whatever you like, just tell other people about the app and get more downloads
1:48
for it, that would be incredible.
1:50
That would be awesome. But anyway, I've really enjoyed doing radio here, because
1:54
for the first time in my career, one of the things I don't think is happening at
1:58
all, and not behind closed doors or anywhere else, is people questioning the
2:03
types of topics we talk about. And when I did radio in Illinois, even at places
2:08
that claim to be conservative outlets, you would often find out that someone was
2:12
complaining behind closed doors about the things you said, the way you think they
2:17
didn't like them. They thought they were too conservative for that market, or who
2:20
knows what they thought they were.
2:21
And then eventually you got these these fights that are stupid that go on Wayne
2:25
Dolcefino has called into the radio station I don't know why doing it this way.
2:29
We got so many other ways Wayne.
2:30
Are you there? Well, I'm driving and I'm listening to you and I'm I'm
2:36
you're groveling um, and you're You're and and I think you need to stop begging
2:42
for attention Anyway, I can tell you miss me this morning and I didn't want to
2:47
congratulate you on your one -year anniversary Let's see if you can make it to
2:51
two. But I'm like one never knows in this world.
2:58
But I only called in to say happy anniversary.
3:01
I'm looking forward to some Clams Oregonado with you and break some bread.
3:06
And I am now on my way. I'm not really on a special assignment.
3:11
I'm really going to the doctor because my staff wanted me to see if I still had a
3:17
heart.
3:19
I'm going to guess you do. It'll be fine.
3:23
Are there any investigations? Are there anything you're doing that you can tease
3:27
that'll be up on Dolcefino Consulting on Facebook?
3:32
No, it's a secret. I don't share in advance.
3:37
You have to wait for the product on Dolcefino dot com.
3:40
You have a great show, my friend.
3:42
Thanks. Wait, before you go, I want to ask you one other thing because I saw one
3:46
of our clips on your page somebody came after you a little bit.
3:49
Somebody said like I didn't know you were a Trumpster, a Wayne Dolcefino.
3:53
I don't know if you want to respond to that.
3:54
I saw you. I've been calling that.
3:56
What I told him was, look, and you know this, I was a Marco Rubio guy.
4:02
I don't know. In 2016, I don't, you know, I don't shy away from telling you like,
4:07
yeah, I don't care.
4:10
And but I Trump, for all his entertaining dialogue.
4:17
Actually, there's done a lot of things that I wanted to do and
4:22
he's not on the ballot, but he's not on the ballot.
4:29
What we need to do is elect people who vote like us.
4:33
To me, it's a very simple equation.
4:35
I'm not getting into people's love lives.
4:37
I don't care if they've had ethical challenge along the way.
4:41
I want people that will vote the way I would vote.
4:47
Plainly simple. Amen. Yeah. It's very easy for me.
4:51
Easy. That was great. I thought you did a really good job of responding to that
4:54
person. And I know that you always say not to delete those comments, just have
4:57
the conversation with them. And it does seem better.
5:00
Watching you do it on your page, that seemed pretty good.
5:02
But I just wanted to ask you about that.
5:03
Well, thank you. I don't, I don't delete anything really, because the reality is,
5:08
first of all, I don't want I enjoy people who hate me.
5:11
I get oxygen from it. It makes me want to fight on.
5:16
So, you know, the hell with them all.
5:17
Sure. Awesome. Well, thank you, Wayne.
5:19
I don't know if there's anything else you want to talk about or if I should let
5:21
you go because you're driving.
5:23
Well, I am driving and my car is beeping.
5:26
And, you know, my car talks to me even when I don't even talk to it.
5:31
I don't know why. But you have a great show.
5:34
And I will be back there in the help.
5:40
I do. I really did need his help.
5:42
That's the hardest I laughed so far in the show today is the three minutes of
5:46
dulcivino that we got. That was pretty good.
5:49
I was gonna play this audio and I'll probably do it after the break.
5:52
I don't even know. President Trump did unload on Bill Maher.
5:56
He did attack the guy and there's a couple people that covered it.
5:59
So it's not really Trump in his own voice saying it.
6:02
He put it all up on Truth Social.
6:04
So I don't know how valuable it is to play like some news reporter saying the
6:07
thing. But essentially I can give you some of the tweets or some of the truth
6:12
posts that were out there. Let's talk about this complete and total loser Bill
6:16
Maher. This is the president of the United States.
6:18
I wanted to tell Bill that he's a major pothead.
6:21
You're not transformative, you're a loser.
6:23
I think part of the reason this is happening, and I'll tell you that I don't hate
6:29
that this is happening either, which I don't know what it says about how much I
6:32
like Trump, But Bill Maher's policies are still overwhelmingly on the left.
6:37
So when you use Bill Maher, and we use it on this show, we play him on this show
6:40
a lot, to prop up the demonstration that some part of the conservative discussion
6:46
is not in fact crazy, that the people on the left, if they're being sane and
6:49
rational for even a few minutes, can admit that this isn't so bad.
6:54
Maher, one of my favorite things he said recently was about the ballroom.
6:56
He said it to the former White House, White House press secretary that it
7:02
just doesn't seem like it's that big of a deal or it's that bad.
7:05
And Maher does constantly interview the right.
7:07
He puts them on his shows. He has conversations with them and he often publicly
7:11
disagrees with them the way that don't Wayne Dolcefino would publicly disagree
7:14
with someone like there's a certain cut of his cloth that I like because I would
7:19
want to do a similar thing. If I had a show with the size of audience that Maher
7:23
had, I'd want to invite a lot of the other side on and argue with them.
7:25
I'd want to do the same thing that Charlie Kirk became very famous for doing
7:29
before they killed him for it There's something very valuable about that But as I
7:32
say that in the world of politics and in the world of like political suggestions
7:38
Maher is gonna tell you to vote for Democrats down the ticket more often than not
7:41
and He's going to tell you to vote for this guy and that guy that you probably
7:45
shouldn't be voting for if you actually are On the conservative side of the aisle
7:49
so that I think is Trump's point and the way that you go after him hard You know
7:54
who President Trump is? Actually, this is what I should say.
7:57
Because I think about this a lot myself.
8:00
Or at least I have. I don't know if I'm really thinking about it that much
8:02
anymore. President Trump to me is Shaq in the late 90s, early
8:08
2000s in the world of basketball.
8:10
And if you don't understand the reference, Shaquille O 'Neal bullied his way into
8:15
anything that happened in the late 90s, early 2000s after MJ retired.
8:19
Shaq was the dominant force in basketball, multiple MVP awards, and you had to
8:24
hack him. You had to like punch him in the face basically for him to not score
8:27
points and make him go to the line because that was the only way to stop the man.
8:31
He was absolutely a bully that could not be stopped.
8:34
President Trump, when he sees an enemy in his sights behaves that same way.
8:38
He falls into the middle of the paint, he throws seven elbows, and he doesn't
8:42
care who gets hit in the process.
8:43
And I don't dislike that because I think it's attention getting.
8:46
I think there's a value to it. But when he goes after more by saying he's a total
8:50
complete loser and a pothead and an idiot Like there's something amusing because
8:54
there are moments where Maher will be one of the few sane people on the left that
8:58
you like to play However, that doesn't mean he's sane all the time.
9:01
It doesn't mean all of the things He's suggesting or all of the people he's
9:04
endorsing are people you actually should vote for and that's what's at stake in
9:08
this moment And so I just I'm always amused like I feel like at times the rest
9:14
of us on the political right are Kobe Bryant and we're lobbing the ball into Shaq
9:19
and we're watching Shaq bully everybody and score two points and that's what it
9:23
is when you put Trump in those positions is I think that he's he's throwing the
9:26
elbows in a way that at least works for the right I don't know if it works for
9:30
everybody else I'm guessing maybe it doesn't but it benefits us and and it is
9:34
decent to point out at this point a few days before the actual election the
9:39
midterm elections are over that listening to Bill Maher criticized the left might
9:43
be good, but listening to him tell you who to vote for, probably not the way you
9:47
want to go. And he does seem like a pothead.
9:50
I'll say that too. The podcast that Maher does after his television show where he
9:55
drinks and smokes... With all of his guests, it does seem like there might be an
9:59
addiction there for Mr. Bond. So I don't necessarily think that Trump got that
10:03
wrong. All right, quick break, a lot more.
10:05
It's KSEV Radio, the Mob Guys. I'm Craig Coglianese, Wayne Dolcefino.
10:09
You just heard from him on special assignment going to the doctor's office.
10:13
But more coming up in a bit on The Voice of Texas.
10:16
My name is Craig Coglianese Wayne Dolcefino is on special assignment.
10:19
We are the mob guy is what we call ourselves.
10:21
Although the real mob very often is actually politics and the politicians like
10:25
Carla Wyatt who I'm just going to keep prepping on up until election day because
10:30
it's ridiculous that she's going to stay at all.
10:31
Like it's ridiculous. I'm not saying that's a done deal.
10:34
It's not. You should go vote. You should do everything you can to prevent this.
10:37
And I pray that it actually happens and we move that person out of office.
10:43
But the truth is that it doesn't look good.
10:45
And maybe that means we should act even more.
10:48
You know what I mean? Like maybe the right message to be providing to you right
10:51
now. And I think Chris X and his show yesterday actually did an interview with
10:55
the person running against Carla Wyatt.
10:57
So go out there and vote. vote.
11:00
Go out there and try as best you can to prevent someone who seems like another
11:05
DUI is coming, the next few weeks individual continue to retain power because it
11:10
just makes absolutely no sense to me at all that this is a thing that's
11:14
happening, that this is the way that we are.
11:17
Marc Cowart deserves your vote.
11:18
Please, please go out there and vote for him and hopefully a good thing's
11:22
happened. But anyway, I want to play a couple pieces of audio in the world of
11:26
politics. But first I want to play something totally different.
11:29
Call it a palate cleanser if you want.
11:31
Maybe I won't do for these when I call it like a quick forish topic.
11:34
I'll just do one. But police were called to a kid's soccer game.
11:38
Florida. Florida is a great place that does a lot of these types of stories.
11:42
And the reason why apparently is all the other parents at soccer game were mad
11:47
that one little kid was too good.
11:50
The kid's name is Nevada, which is sort of a bad bleep name in general.
11:55
But nonetheless, the kid was just much better.
11:57
He's three. No one could get the ball away from this kid.
12:00
No one could stop him from being the best player on the field.
12:04
And that is hilarious that eventually it involved police.
12:07
There's audio of the parents talking to the police about what the problem is.
12:11
Here we go. I guess one of the coaches advised that they don't want you guys here
12:15
anymore. Okay. If If you guys don't mind leaving.
12:18
What is the real reason that he called the police?
12:21
So I guess he's just calling because I guess he believes that you guys are
12:23
causing a disturbance that was interfering with the game play.
12:26
They're mad at my son because he actually plays soccer.
12:30
I'm a little confused and I'm a little like baffled because I signed my kid up
12:35
for soccer. So they literally kicking him out of this place because he's good at
12:39
soccer. We need you to leave because you're causing a disturbance and your child
12:42
is much better than everybody else.
12:44
That's at least the narrative that the internet's going with.
12:46
I don't know if it's true or not.
12:48
I will throw that out there. I don't know how everybody was behaving before
12:51
cameras were turned on and cops were involved.
12:54
But if one kid is much better than the other kids at the sport, it is not fun for
12:58
the other children. But that's life.
12:59
You've got to learn that lesson.
13:01
You learn that sometimes you're not going to be as good as Ryan was, the kid
13:05
growing up who was better at basketball than me, until about the end of high
13:09
school. I remember actually this is so stupid.
13:12
I'm going to tell you this story because, darn it, I'm on the radio alone.
13:14
Wayne would tell me he doesn't care about this, but I can't help it.
13:18
There was a kid that was better than me in grade school at basketball, probably
13:22
thought to be better at me for a lot of high school, because I didn't play as
13:25
much high school ball as he did for a variety of reasons.
13:28
But I wound up, this is hard for people to believe who look at me, I did wind up
13:32
sitting on the bench in college for a junior college basketball team, so I'm not
13:35
so bad. I probably oversell my skill set, but just accept for this
13:41
story that it's not quite that bad.
13:42
But anyway, this kid and I wound up on the same court on just a pickup game in my
13:48
senior year of high school, and we won.
13:52
And I thought I did quite a bit better than Ryan did.
13:55
And I remember how good that felt.
13:56
Like, it's funny how good that feels.
13:58
But the whole point of the story is not to brag about my limited, potentially
14:01
questionable athletic ability to Wayne or anyone else out there.
14:05
It's to tell you that your kid might inevitably get there someday.
14:08
Like if you watch a kid four or five years old who's bad at a thing and you
14:14
try to protect them by hiding the fact that they're bad at it, you're only
14:18
hurting their life. You're only hurting this child the rest of their life to do
14:22
that. The opposite would be after they walk off the court to tell them or the
14:25
field or whatever that if you want to be better at this, you got to put in some
14:29
effort and it might happen. It's not a guarantee, but it might happen.
14:32
And then if they try hard enough and they come back better year after year,
14:35
eventually they might be good enough to be able to steal the ball from the other
14:39
kid who's the best kid on the team.
14:41
And anyway, the whole point of this is I never understand when you're protecting
14:45
your kid from reality and truth.
14:48
You should always tell them the truth.
14:50
And I've actually often told a different story when I talk about a topic like
14:53
this of my uncle when I was 10 telling me I'd never make the NBA.
14:58
My Uncle John, he took me to the park.
15:00
He was pretty good at basketball.
15:04
I Indiana University. And so then we're at the park, we're playing.
15:08
I'm not a relatively tall little kid.
15:10
I didn't become a relatively tall adult.
15:12
And he basically told me that he's like genetically not gonna happen for you.
15:15
And I was devastated. I was wearing my Michael Jordan jersey, you know, playing
15:19
whatever, but it's it's like you got to learn life at some point.
15:23
Because if you don't, we have a lot of the idiots and morons that grow up to be
15:26
these overconfident and sane people that they are today.
15:29
And actually, let's go ahead and pivot to that.
15:30
Let's pay it off with something political.
15:32
So this has gotten viral. This was a Fox News thing asking, I think, voters in
15:38
Michigan, especially on college campuses, what they think of socialism, what they
15:42
think of a lot of the political rhetoric of today.
15:45
And it is amazing to listen to these morons say moronic things.
15:50
And Case & Point might be this woman who went very viral for describing what she
15:54
thinks socialism is and what socialism isn't.
15:57
And you decide whether or not she's someone who, if she was playing soccer when
16:02
she was a little kid, her parents would have made the most talented kid go home.
16:06
If that's the people who raised her, here we go.
16:08
Socialism doesn't mean like anti -capitalism.
16:11
Based off what I learned in my Gov class, it's basically like spending more money
16:15
on helping society. Socialism to me is a concept in politics where everybody gets
16:20
a little bit of everything. Everybody benefits and everybody is really taking
16:24
care. Where does it come from? kind of that social net that you see in other
16:29
types of politics. I think a lot of people get the economic system
16:35
of socialism confused with the government system of communism.
16:40
Yeah, they get them confused. For some reason, I don't know how that is or why
16:43
that is. My favorite is the second of the three people in the middle saying that
16:46
everybody gets a little bit of everything.
16:48
Thanks. Who's stuff are you taking that you don't already have, that you didn't
16:52
earn? Who is giving it to you? And the answer is always, well, the rich people.
16:57
They're gonna give it to all of us.
16:58
Each of them, to me, is a concept in politics where everybody gets a little bit
17:02
of everything. A little bit of stuff.
17:03
Everybody benefits and everybody is really taking care of kind of that
17:07
social net that you see in other types of politics.
17:13
Yeah, so these people are University of Michigan students.
17:15
They're wearing their University of Michigan outfits and stuff and talking into
17:19
cameras That Fox News provided them and telling us what is good about socialism.
17:24
What's good about that thing? That's not communism But here the the most valuable
17:28
question if you have a person in life similar to these people That acts this
17:34
arrogant that walks around thinking they know everything and oversimplifying the
17:38
hell out of something dangerous I just asked them where the stuff comes from and
17:42
when they say well the government gives us that stuff They take it from the
17:45
people that don't deserve it and they give it to us and then you ask them how how
17:49
do they do? That part it's like well, I don't know I guess in some cases they
17:52
might do stuff like what Mamdani has done and go ahead and open a grocery store
17:56
Oh, they take over the means of production They take over industries and then
18:00
they tell you as the government they're gonna share that money better than the
18:04
businesses who are in those industries Do oh, that's great.
18:06
That's not communism at all, which is in fact exactly what it is, of course So
18:10
it's just, it's hilarious to me that these become the kinds of discussions that
18:14
people have, but it's true. And you have a lot of these college kids walking
18:17
around that were probably sheltered in their life.
18:20
I'll tell you one more quick story.
18:22
This isn't even, isn't even intent to be like a brag where I'm telling you that I
18:27
was better as a kid than other kids are.
18:29
It's just a truth and it's a truth that more people need.
18:32
I remember the Pinewood Derby. I was raised by a single mom who was not great at
18:37
Boy Scout related stuff. If I came home with a project for the Boy Scouts, mom,
18:43
not super helpful in that world.
18:45
And so there were a lot of things I did that I think when I was competing against
18:48
other kids in the Boy Scouts, they had pop helping them that I did alone.
18:53
And so I remember one of them was an abomination of a Pinewood Derby car.
18:56
And anyone who doesn't know what this is, it's basically just a car you make
18:58
yourself, you race it like a hot wheel, see who wins, who loses.
19:02
And at the end, everybody gets a prize, which was the part I didn't like.
19:06
So I made a terrible Pinewood Derby car.
19:09
I think I put way too much weight on the back of it because I thought, you know,
19:12
once it hit the rate, I don't know what I was thinking.
19:14
I was a child, but it didn't work.
19:16
And so then I remember at the end after all of that, when I competed and felt
19:19
good because I actually made my car and a bunch of the kids who won, I thought
19:23
had popped probably make more of the car than they did.
19:26
I realized this is an eight year old.
19:28
I'm like, I think his dad helped him more than I got help with from my mother.
19:32
And so they tried to give us all a participation trophy.
19:34
And I said, no, I was like, no, I don't want that.
19:37
I didn't earn that. I didn't get that, I don't want that, I don't want to be a
19:40
part of this, I want to win it.
19:42
Because there's something much better about winning when you actually have to put
19:46
an effort to do it than being told you want anyway.
19:49
And actually I think I've told one other story, and this was also grade school.
19:54
I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I can't help it and it is what it is.
19:57
It's a show with just me, so let's go ahead and do it real quick and then take
20:00
another break. I think it was my sixth grade, so I was like 12 years old, 11
20:05
years old, and I decided to compete in the um we had a history fair and then we
20:11
also had like a science fair and so for history fair I decided to compete as a
20:15
performance by myself. I didn't even ask any of my friends to do it because they
20:18
refused to which I thought was funny but I was like guys no one's competing in
20:22
the performance category uh so we're gonna win we get first place just by
20:26
participating in it because there's no other competition and so I didn't write
20:30
anything for history day And when it came up when the history fair occurred, I
20:35
did a one man show of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
20:39
This is a completely true story off the top of my head.
20:42
I think I made stuff up during it.
20:44
And then I was done and three judges had to sit through a child definitely making
20:48
a thing up on the spot because he realized no one else was competing in the
20:52
category, which I also really enjoyed.
20:54
And I remember like my friends thought it was funny.
20:56
And I walked off the stage like I think I crushed that.
20:58
They gave me an honorable mention in a category with no other competitors.
21:03
I did not win And again when they gave it to me as a little kid, I was like,
21:06
yeah, no, I deserve this This is something I deserve because I wrote nothing
21:09
there were no costumes Just a kid pretending to be all three people doing the
21:14
moon landing I played the roles of Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins
21:18
who I thought was very much Underrepresented in a lot of discussions about the
21:22
moon landing. So I did communications as him inside the inside the spacecraft
21:27
that was orbiting the moon as the other two guys were walking on it.
21:31
I'm smiling as I say this. This might be the weirdest story I've ever told on the
21:34
radio. I love the fact that I didn't win, that I tried to game the system and the
21:38
system told me it's not allowed to be game.
21:41
And to this day I wish there was video of that one -man show at the History Fair
21:45
in sixth grade because I bet you it's something worth sharing today.
21:50
I quick break a lot more. This is KSEV mornings, the voice of Texas.
21:55
I'm Craig Coglianese, Wayne Dolcefino on Special Assignment.
22:09
movies that were also a reflection of the actual mobsters who are the
22:13
politicians. I want to play a Talarico audio.
22:16
It's only 14 seconds. It is going viral.
22:19
It's something he said years ago in the Texas Senate because a whole lot of what
22:23
he says years ago in the Senate become incredibly relevant.
22:25
Although I think this might have actually been in 2025.
22:29
I might be misspeaking about how old this one is.
22:31
But here, let's go ahead and play this.
22:34
What would Jesus do if he visited the Texas Legislature?
22:40
I think he would tell us, blessed are the trans children who were bullied.
22:48
Sorry, that's enough. I don't even need to play more.
22:50
That is beyond confusing to hear him say that that's what Jesus would focus on.
22:55
Because I feel like if Jesus, this is so weird, I don't even want to play this
22:59
this game. And yet I'm going to do it as a Catholic, if Jesus came back today to
23:03
have a conversation with us as a people, I think there's a lot of things he would
23:06
say before he got to Blessed Are the Trans Kids to the Texas Legislature.
23:11
I think there'd be other topics that he'd cover with us as a whole, as society as
23:14
a whole before he got there. I'm just guessing.
23:18
Now, that's just my assumption.
23:19
But it's such a weird obsession for Talarico.
23:24
And it's actually even somewhat informative in a different way because it's the
23:29
same basic argument. I know it won't sound like it is that happens when you talk
23:33
about Palestine or anywhere else is there's a victim.
23:37
You need to feel bad for the victim and you need to understand that the bad evil
23:41
politicians on the other side are the ones who are causing the victim pain.
23:45
That's what you need to understand.
23:46
And in order for us to stop this victim from being in pain, you have to vote for
23:51
me. That's the narrative from Democrats constantly.
23:55
And actually, I like I've mentioned this before, one of my favorite, it's a very
23:59
obscure reference, but I can't help it.
24:01
One of my favorite examples of the left not actually caring about people, just
24:05
caring about the idea of caring about people was when Brittney Griner was in jail
24:10
in Russia. If you don't remember this, Brittney Griner, the WNBA player who got
24:13
arrested while playing basketball in Russia, I think she had pot on her or
24:17
something. I can't remember the details of the story.
24:19
Anyway, she got arrested. It became a whole big thing and inevitably Biden gave
24:23
back the merchant of death That was the name of the person that we released from
24:27
prison in the United States and gave to Russia in order to get back.
24:31
WNBA player Brittney Griner. That seemed like the wrong trade.
24:35
If I'm being honest, like if we had done an ESPN version of a trade analysis
24:39
after you send the merchant of death back to Russia and we get a WNBA player in
24:45
Brittney Griner, you give that an F as far as the trade having value or being
24:49
terrible from our side. But anyway, the reason I'm telling you the story right
24:54
now is the thing I loved most about this is there was a time when I think the US
24:58
fought a lot To give Brittney the opportunity to call her wife Brittney Griner's
25:03
gay woman here in the United States So it's all the check boxes that care to the
25:08
Democrats They want to fight for Brittney Griner and focus on you know I guess in
25:13
this case women's sports even though the way they do it now makes no sense to me
25:17
They wanted to focus on LGBTQ stuff, whatever they could.
25:20
And so there was so much of a push politically to force Russia into allowing
25:25
Griner to make a phone call to the White House, where then Brittney Griner's wife
25:29
would be in order to take the call.
25:32
And I remember the one aspect that no one thought of on the Democratic side of
25:35
the aisle is that this call would happen late at night, because it's not the same
25:39
time in Russia as it is in the United States.
25:42
So the part that no one tells you about this story, and probably no one talks
25:45
about it anymore is when the woman showed up to take the phone call from Griner
25:49
that was happening from the other country from jail.
25:53
No one was there to help them. No one.
25:55
Not not Biden. Not any of his staff.
25:57
Not anybody. They couldn't make the call.
25:59
They had to cancel the phone call that they fought politically for that Griner
26:03
you know eventually got to make because they don't actually care.
26:06
And again I'm not saying that any of that process really made sense to me but it
26:10
was amusing that that was the end of the story up until we gave away the merchant
26:13
of death to go ahead and get back the WNBA players that you decided to
26:19
demand something that you didn't care enough to actually facilitate once you got
26:24
it. If there's ever a microcosm for what Democrats actually are, how they
26:28
actually behave and how they actually, you know, think and not what they say
26:32
publicly, that felt like a good example of that.
26:35
All right. I want to move on to something else.
26:38
Anthropic, which is the company that created Claude, one of the bigger AI
26:42
platforms that's out there right now will likely be creating one of the most
26:46
ridiculous IPOs in the history of society.
26:49
I do have Fox News talking about this a little bit.
26:51
I'll play that first and then I'll weigh in.
26:53
This has AI in the topic, which means I'm going to overly probably discuss this
26:58
because I have a genuine interest in AI right now even more than I did, say, a
27:03
few months ago, which I can explain to you.
27:05
But here, let's play this first.
27:06
Filing for what could be the biggest initial public offering of a stock ever,
27:10
potentially
27:15
the comes after its own CEO, sound of the alarm, just last month, after, I know
27:21
it's weird, about AI, quote, there are real dangers.
27:24
And I think for too long, the industry lied to people about the fact that this
27:27
technology has risks. It does. It doesn't mean we need to shut it all down.
27:32
It's a warning sign that we need to slow down.
27:35
Fox Business' host, Cheryl Casone, joins us now.
27:38
Cheryl, I'm confused about the signals.
27:40
I know about the value, but before that, Do you think the CEO has a method to the
27:46
message? I think the messaging is a little messy to be honest with you.
27:50
Coming from Dario Amodei. What you need to do is to tell my streamers.
27:54
But know the risks. Well, 94 pages of this 400 page prospectus that we got
27:58
yesterday morning was about risk.
28:01
Are you looking to end it? Yeah, here.
28:02
I'll stop right there. There's a couple of things really interesting to me.
28:05
I've heard a Sam Altman and other AI people say that AI is going to be so
28:10
commonplace that it's going to be like paying a utility bill.
28:14
It's just like electricity. It's just like anything else.
28:17
And actually Sam Altman was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't explain to
28:22
more people the likelihood that you'll like AI in your own everyday life, as much
28:27
as people like electricity, that before they had it, they didn't know how to sell
28:31
it. Because turning lights on at night, this is all what Sam Altman said, became
28:36
the way that people became interested in technology or in electricity
28:40
specifically. is you told them, hey, there's this somewhat dangerous thing that
28:44
obviously doesn't feel dangerous to any of us anymore, that we're gonna shoot
28:48
into your home that you don't have, that's gonna make it much brighter in your
28:51
house at night, so you don't have to use candles anymore.
28:53
And that's what inevitably broke the wall that became the thing we have today, a
28:57
utility that everybody has, and we can't picture life without because of the vast
29:01
amount of things we do with it.
29:03
That is essentially what some people in AI are saying, artificial intelligence
29:07
will become. And there's even a commercial, I think it's ChatGPT, but one of them
29:12
that has these three old ladies, these friends that are trying to book, I think,
29:17
a sailing trip, and all three of them are using AI along the way.
29:21
Like respond to my emails, make phone calls to people, whatever it is you need to
29:24
do, do these things for me so I don't have to do them.
29:27
And it's true. Like that part of the utility of AI is accurate.
29:31
You can get it even now to do a ridiculous amount of things for you that you
29:36
essentially You potentially don't have to pay attention to it all.
29:38
You can put a lot of your life on autopilot if you so desire by having an AI
29:43
agent handle things digitally for you, including phone calls.
29:47
It can even make phone calls. But here's the point that I think I actually want
29:49
to make, as I'm someone who really does like using, in a beneficial way, the
29:55
value of AI. I've also continued to go down the rabbit hole of having arguments
29:59
with it about politics just because I'm interested.
30:03
And chat GPT specifically, and I'll share this one with you, because I actually
30:07
didn't think it was going to come up today, but darn it.
30:08
I'm going to go ahead and pull it up and do it because I think it's interesting.
30:11
There was a point where I noticed that every time I talked about a political
30:14
topic with chat GPT, it had an overwhelming, um, one -sided opinion.
30:19
And I thought to myself, like what's causing this and what could I say to an AI
30:23
to make it understand that it is in fact biased.
30:27
And so I asked it to rank its favorite news sources from one to 10 and give me
30:33
maybe the 10 most trustworthy news sources according to it.
30:37
And you wouldn't be surprised to know that almost everything on the list was left
30:41
leaning or at least somewhat far from being in the middle to
30:46
extremely loud. Like CNN was in there, NPR was in there, Bloomberg, Reuters, AP,
30:52
I can't find the actual chat with chat GPT right now, otherwise I'd tell you.
30:56
But the thing that I thought was so funny about it is I asked it to then analyze
31:00
the individual sources, not the collective, and look at each source and decide
31:05
whether or not it leans to the right or left, and use outside sources to do that.
31:08
And there are, you know, bias organizations that study this.
31:12
And it came back and told me, I've noticed that eight of my 10 sources are
31:15
leaning left or far left. And I go, and how many sources that you picked are on
31:20
the right? And it said none. And so I think the point I'm trying to make in the
31:24
world of AI is how much it can control us and influence us.
31:28
If you wind up going, not even to Google, which already has its own biases and
31:33
ways that hide certain stories from you and tells you other things.
31:36
But instead you just ask an AI like, hey, what happened in the news today?
31:39
You are going to be a victim of who programmed that AI and what they told it to
31:43
care about, what they told it not to care about, what they told it to trust and
31:47
not trust, etc., etc. And that's one of the biggest impacts to our society that's
31:51
not going to be talked about by a lot of people.
31:54
Sure, AI could go rogue one day and try to harm us.
31:57
That is a thing. People do talk about the Terminator thing, Terminator 2,
32:02
becoming a reality in our society.
32:04
But the more important thing is the inevitable control that AI would have on all
32:08
of us if it gets its wish of being in everybody's pocket.
32:13
I know we got a break coming up, but I don't want to do that first because I see
32:15
we got a call. I want to take Bart, who's calling from spring, about Neil Hahn
32:19
Omar. Bart, what do you want to say?
32:22
Oh, I think you have a classic example of the Democrats not meaning what they
32:26
say. they spent four and a half million dollars prosecuting a hundred and thirty
32:31
thousand dollar non -disclosure NDA payment for Stormy Daniels
32:37
and then they turn around a hundred and seventy out of the two hundred of them
32:40
want to close the investigation of Ilhan Omar after she stole probably at
32:46
least 250 million dollars from SNAP and EBT funds.
32:51
Sure. Yeah well Ilhan Omar is in a lot of right now.
32:55
She's in a lot of trouble for what might be a pretty, you know, illegal version
32:58
of becoming a person that can be as a congresswoman in the first place.
33:03
Like, she shouldn't have any legal status in our country.
33:06
And she did that, it seems like, through a lot of illicit means.
33:09
But that's just one of several things going on with her right now.
33:11
And you're right. Democrats are calling for all this to go away because they
33:14
don't want to lose this seat in Congress.
33:17
These are the same people for four years.
33:19
Yell, nobody's against above the law.
33:22
And Ilhan Omar even claimed, I'm not above the law.
33:25
Right. And now it's closed the investigation.
33:28
Now it's crazy. And they're saying that it's all political prosecution, which of
33:31
course, when Trump said that, they said that never happens.
33:33
How dare you even accuse us of that.
33:35
It's amazing to watch them flip flop whenever it benefits them.
33:38
Anything else you want to say, Bart?
33:41
No, I just said when you're talking about how they don't mean what they say.
33:44
Yeah. That's a classic example.
33:46
A hundred and seventy said close the investigation.
33:49
Thank you very much for the call, Bart.
33:50
That's that's true. And there's so many examples of it so, so often that if they
33:55
win on emotion, they actually have to live up to the emotional thing that they're
33:59
telling you. They're, they're better than the other side and they don't live up
34:02
to that. They don't live up to the logical.
34:04
They live up to none of it, which is something that a lot of young people seem to
34:08
need to learn as a lesson. But someday, hopefully they will.
34:11
Someday soon. Hopefully maybe before Tuesday.
34:13
Quick break, a lot more. This is KSEV mornings.
34:16
The Mob Guys on The Voice of Texas, Craig Coglianese, Wayne Dolcefino on special
34:21
doctor assignments. I'm gonna play the stuff that I said I wanted to play the
34:24
life of Brian things that I find so funny the Monty Python stuff that feels so
34:28
relevant to today's world. I will warn Russell who's producing the show that I
34:34
did not screen these things. I don't think they have bad words in them.
34:37
I did not screen them and Monty Python did not always get a PG rating.
34:41
I think by and large it did actually.
34:43
But here we go. Let's go ahead and play on this.
34:45
This is life of Brian. This is one of the characters Well, they're arguing about
34:48
politics saying that he wants to be a woman and then to the John Cleese character
34:52
saying how part of that's not Possible bud.
34:55
I really like this and they couldn't have possibly assumed that we get to a point
34:59
in 2026 where this is an actual argument happening in politics and not a
35:04
ridiculous parody I which is what Monty Python was well known for here we go.
35:07
It's all about women Stan. I Want to be one?
35:11
I? You want to be a woman?
35:14
I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me Loretta.
35:20
What? It's my right as a man. Why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
35:26
Yeah, why Stan? I want to have babies.
35:30
You want to have babies? It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
35:34
It is not. You can't have babies!
35:36
You can't. Don't you oppress me.
35:38
I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb.
35:41
Where's the fetus gonna just take you're gonna keep it in a box?
35:46
I'm sorry what I love so much about this is that as the one character is just
35:51
apoplectic like cannot understand how they're having the conversation the other
35:54
one's getting emotional and then you see the other two characters around being
35:57
like we got to protect the emotional guy which is the world we live in now.
36:00
I've got an idea suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies not having
36:05
a womb Which is nobody's fault, not even the romance.
36:08
But that he can have the right to have babies.
36:10
He can have the right to have babies.
36:11
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight your oppressors for your right to have babies,
36:15
brother. Sister. Sorry? What's the point?
36:19
What? What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't
36:22
have babies? The point is something different.
36:25
The point is actually the thing we're actually dealing with today in our society,
36:28
which is the politicians realize that by saying this meaningless stuff out loud,
36:32
the way that they're saying it, that they can win you over emotionally.
36:35
that they can get you to vote for them.
36:37
This is not what Monty Python, I think, wanted to say about this topic.
36:40
They just wanted it to be a joke and ridiculous.
36:43
But that's the truth. The truth is that whatever the thing is, if the left can
36:46
find a way to lock into you emotionally, they will.
36:50
And then they'll convince you the other side is horrible and terrible.
36:53
The other side hates everybody and thinks you're a bad person if you don't, you
36:56
know, whatever, vote for them. And then that, in fact, is the world we live in.
36:59
That's one of several Monty Python clips that I found recently that I really
37:04
enjoyed. Another one is when he's talking about, again, John Cleese is the lead
37:08
of the bit, talking about how you need to be on the political far right or far
37:12
left to feel good about yourself.
37:14
It feels like it's more of an indictment today of Democrats and the crazy things
37:18
they say. I'm sure I'm saying that because I'm on the side of the aisle I'm on.
37:22
But nonetheless, there are a lot of things that happen right now where Democrats
37:25
pretend to be the good guys, the nice people.
37:28
And then also, as they're saying that they're the nice people, say how okay it is
37:32
to be totally and horribly terrible to the side that's not them.
37:35
At least with the Republicans, and maybe this is because of Trump, there's less
37:39
apology for being unkind if the unkindness has a
37:45
point. Like the right doesn't usually say that we're trying not to be a
37:51
jerk as often as the left does, well being a jerk.
37:54
When you do it, you usually admit it, at least on one side of the political
37:57
aisle. Another thing I wanna talk about just quickly before we run out of time,
38:01
which is not politics, but screw it, we're toward the end of the show now.
38:05
The New York Knicks did something horrible, in my opinion horrible, to a lot of
38:09
their staff. They ran a phishing test, which is when they sent out an email to a
38:15
lot of the employees for the New York Knicks and they wanted to see if the
38:18
employees would get tricked into clicking on a button.
38:21
And once you click on the button, you get directed to this page that says, you've
38:25
been the victim of a phishing test, and now you have to show up and do like class
38:30
how to make sure that you protect our organization from other phishing attempts.
38:34
This is a smart thing to do for a business in a sense, because you're just seeing
38:37
if some people have not learned the lesson that if you don't recognize who sent
38:41
you an email, you shouldn't click on the link inside it.
38:45
But anyway, the Knicks did this about a championship ring.
38:48
Even though I don't think they're giving a ring to every member of the staff,
38:51
they sent a phishing email to their own company, to their own employees that
38:55
said, hey, we're all getting a ring.
38:58
Please give us the size and all the information you have about where we can send
39:01
the ring, et cetera, by clicking on this link.
39:04
And then they clicked on it, and a lot of these employees thought they were
39:06
getting a championship ring, only to find out not the case at all.
39:10
I think I have audio for this topic too, and then I can go ahead and play real
39:13
quick. But that's brutal. I'm a fan of the next, I was happy they won the NBA
39:18
championship. I think they should visit the White House, even though apparently
39:22
they're still in debate about whether they'll do that.
39:25
The guy who owns the Knicks is a fan of President Trump, so he wants to go.
39:29
But this was mean, man. And this probably made the news partly for maybe some of
39:34
those political reasons. I don't know.
39:35
Let's hit play on this audio. The Knicks got their NBA Finals rings, of course.
39:39
Night before, Madison Square Garden sent an email to a lot of their longtime
39:43
employees saying, you are getting a ring.
39:46
Congratulations, this one's on the house.
39:47
You don't have to pay for it. Pick between these two options.
39:50
And when you press the link, you found out that you had failed the phishing test.
39:55
Those who did click the link at the bottom of the message, they were forced to
39:58
attend a mandatory cybersecurity class to help satisfy some of Dolan's growing
40:04
cybersecurity concerns. Yeah, see, that's crazy the way that the reaction is
40:08
there because they're just going after Dolan who again is the owner of the next
40:11
and a fan of President Trump. This was a brutal way to go about this though.
40:15
I'm not going to pretend it wasn't because if I was working for the next and
40:18
again, some NBA teams actually do this.
40:21
They give a ring to everybody. It's not the same ring.
40:24
The players get like a diamond ring and the employees who are a little bit
40:28
further down the list don't exactly get the same tens of thousands of dollars
40:32
piece of jewelry, but they get something in this case.
40:35
A lot of people might have got nothing and that seems to have hurt quite a bit.
40:38
One other crazy story out there or just, you know, definitely not political
40:41
before we go. A woman wearing a banana Halloween costume, I was hailed as a hero.
40:47
This happened in Orlando, Florida beca
40:53
These always amuse me. I think I have some audio for this one too.
40:57
I'm actually going to school to be a future nurse.
40:59
It was just an instinct. Like, you know, you see a hurt person, like I can't just
41:02
see that and be like, oh no, I'm going to go home.
41:04
I needed to at least call for help and make sure he was okay.
41:08
Yeah, that's Stephanie. She did a local news interview with television in
41:12
Orlando. I assume whatever TV station it is, they're on your side.
41:16
That's usually always their tagline.
41:18
We're on your side. But anyway, maybe it's NBC4, somebody there, does an
41:23
interview with Stephanie and doesn't really acknowledge, at least when they're
41:27
talking to her on the street, that she's wearing a banana costume, which to me is
41:30
hilarious. They say it in the package, like, Stephanie going home from a
41:34
Halloween party dressed as a banana, decided to pull over on the side of the road
41:37
and help somebody, and it's someone who's studying to be a nurse.
41:41
But I don't know how you don't do that in the interview itself.
41:44
If you're the person there with the microphone and you're putting the microphone
41:47
in the person's face and they're still wearing a banana costume.
41:50
I feel like that's got to come up.
41:52
I feel like that should be talked about more, but darn it, they didn't care.
41:55
One other one. Let's just do one more that I think is interesting before we get
41:59
out of here as far as stupid news goes.
42:03
Apparently today is cranky coworker day, which means that you're supposed to
42:07
celebrate your cranky coworker today.
42:10
And today only these holidays are so dumb.
42:12
I don't know why they exist at all and why people in radio, myself included, talk
42:16
about them, but I can't help it.
42:18
It dangles that carrot in front of me and I have to go ahead and do it.
42:21
There's a clip from Office Space that's going viral as a part of cranky co
42:26
-worker day. I could play this.
42:28
Why does it say paper jam? There is no paper jam.
42:30
I swear to God, one of these days I just kicked this out the window.
42:34
You'll meet both, man. Thing is lucky I'm not armed.
42:37
Yeah, they're talking about a copy machine as you remember if you've seen that
42:41
movie and they're saying how much they want to beat the crap out of it.
42:44
And I think they do inevitably if I remember office space correctly, beat the
42:47
crap out of the coffee machine.
42:50
But I don't even think that's a cranky coworker.
42:52
I think that's just somebody who's annoyed by a product.
42:55
A real cranky coworker is never happy any of the time.
42:58
And so celebrate your cranky coworker today.
43:00
I am tempted on the air to say who I think the cranky coworker is, but I'm gonna
43:05
go ahead and not do it. I'm not gonna tell you that Ben Strusand is occasionally
43:08
cranky in a way that seems good.
43:10
He seems to help us all. I'm not gonna tell you that the Amigos themselves would
43:14
probably even describe Ben Strouss and as the cranky member of the team, but also
43:18
the smart one Which is something that I think they all agree is true.
43:21
All right, that's it. We're out of here I thank the cranky co -worker because
43:24
he's probably also the smart one in your office That's the morning show the mob
