Talarico's Shifting Message, Trump on the Strait of Hormuz, and an AI Radio DJ · KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne

0:07
There we go.
0:30
Wayne Dolcefino, RKCV radio.
0:42
It is the Mob, guys.
0:44
My name is Craig Coglianese.
0:46
Wayne Dolcefino is now on special assignment after dealing with a bunch of the technical
0:49
issues that existed in the first half hour of the show, but we got there.
0:54
And now, whenever we do any of this, moving forward, it'll all work, which is nice.
0:58
I will be filling in for Dana lash again today from two to four o'clock if you want to listen
1:03
To Dana's show some of this stuff that I'm about to play in here and Russell
1:07
We might as well try to see if the third microphone thing works for my computer audio
1:13
How do you feel about this? Does this feel like?
1:17
Cool
1:19
I already heard it right there. That was yeah. Oh
1:24
Man, I know why I'm so happy about that. All right. I have some Trump audio. I'm gonna play here real quick
1:28
and this is the president talking about how they wanted to arrest him and
1:32
impeach him. All the stuff that I do think gets a lot of people to respond.
1:35
They've tried to smear us, slander us, persecute us, demoralize us. They've attacked me,
1:41
they've impeached me. They did. They've arrested me and they even tried to kill
1:46
me I guess. But with you at my side we have always prevailed and prevailed by a
1:54
lot and got record setting votes and record setting victory. We've won every battle. We've
2:06
defeated every hoax. We've overcome every threat. And now we are on the cusp of beating
2:12
the communists, socialists, radicalized lunatics and villains. Yeah. Once and for all, we're
2:18
going to put them down once and for all.
2:20
You know, I want to respond to something because Wayne Dolcefino was talking about it in the
2:24
last hour and I'm of both minds of some of that discussion, but I by and large agree
2:29
with Wayne.
2:31
When it comes to independence, when it comes to people that might actually help push you
2:36
over the top and get you to win an election, some of this messaging isn't working anymore.
2:41
However, to everybody that is what you call the base, to everybody who is, I think, motivated
2:47
from jump to be a part of these sort of elections,
2:50
or every election every year all the time,
2:52
this is the most important discussion point
2:55
and the actual fight itself.
2:57
There are two sides of that concept to me,
3:01
because I do think that the left is becoming radical
3:04
even more than they were before.
3:06
And I do think that the left sounds like,
3:10
Marxists and communists and all the crazy, horrible things
3:14
that we don't want our society to become.
3:16
So I do believe when you discuss that aspect of how politics is shaping on the right and
3:24
the left, that that's exactly where we are.
3:26
And I do often think, I'll just say one last thing about this from, again, I'd call it
3:30
a macro level, talking about it from the treetops viewpoint.
3:35
In my opinion, when you're looking at everything going on, I do believe that if you stopped
3:41
messaging in this way, you could lose some of the base.
3:44
There are people out there who think that if you're not talking all the time about the
3:49
Nazis, about the radicals, about the insanity of the left, then you're catering to them.
3:54
Then you're bending the knee and you're allowing them to get the thing they most want, which
3:58
is backing off of that message.
3:59
So there has to be some mixture of how we do both at the same time, because when you
4:04
do hear the left say some of the things the left is saying, and a lot of politicians who
4:09
are doing better than expected,
4:11
Talarico certainly among them in these elections
4:15
throughout the country or in their primary races
4:17
and potentially in the actual November election.
4:19
When you see that, you can't help but wonder
4:22
what the hell is going on?
4:24
Like I don't think there's another way to say it than that.
4:26
So I do want people to understand,
4:30
anyone listening to the show who in the last half hour
4:33
thinks, well, no, no, don't do that guys,
4:35
to Wayne and I because the more we back off the radicals,
4:38
the more we allow them to win.
4:40
I just think you have to have a multifaceted message
4:43
at this point that tells the people
4:46
who no longer are listening to,
4:48
we need to protect women's sports, something else,
4:52
on top of the people who are listening
4:54
and know that we're gonna protect women's sports.
4:56
And here, I'll say it this way.
4:58
This is probably a better way to articulate it.
5:00
It's exactly what Talarico is doing.
5:03
Talarico hush, hush, nod, nod,
5:05
is telling everyone on the deep part of his party
5:08
that he's gonna absolutely do all the radical things
5:11
they want him to do when he's in office.
5:14
And then he's not talking about on the campaign trail.
5:16
He is sanitizing his message for everybody in the middle.
5:20
And it does appear more so than I thought
5:24
to be beneficial, to be working for him.
5:26
He's just a liar.
5:27
And I do love that campaign ad that came out recently
5:31
that Talarico is a liar because I think that a lot of the times when you try to make these
5:38
arguments to certain individuals, the ability to actually show them and demonstrate to them
5:45
how obvious it is, is probably more important. I think it's like a minute and a half,
5:50
but I want to try to play a lot of this video because I think it's pretty good.
6:02
using artificial intelligence to put words in my mouth.
6:06
And I think Texans are tired.
6:07
Well, they're a bit of maintenance use you've made.
6:09
But some of these are insane.
6:11
Some of them come from real things that you've said.
6:13
No, I'm not a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
6:17
He is.
6:18
SB17, which passed last year.
6:20
By the way, what this ad is for anyone who can't see it,
6:23
because it's not even up on social media,
6:25
is TalaRico walking and saying his version of a campaign ad,
6:29
and then an immediate receipts refute of that where maybe
6:33
Talarico isn't actually a part of the Communist Party of China and no one's accused him of that.
6:38
He's certainly trying to help defend them and the things they want.
6:41
And certain governments, organizations and individuals from
6:43
and by inland in Texas you voted against the bill. Why?
6:49
I was deeply concerned that this bill would be used to discriminate.
6:53
No, I don't support sex change surgeries for kids.
6:57
Kind of think you do though.
6:57
The most dangerous is SP-14, which was denied many times life-saving health care from our
7:06
trans youth in Texas.
7:09
And the reason that I opposed that bill is because I trust parents and doctors to make
7:15
decisions for kids and not politicians.
7:19
All these ideologies stem from this Christophascism movement.
7:23
And then you saw it in the anti-LGBTQ legislation, including the bill that would have denied
7:29
gender-affirming health care to trans children.
7:32
The consequences of not providing that treatment can be dire.
7:35
Then that doctor has an obligation, a moral obligation, according to their Hippocratic
7:41
oath, to ensure that that patient, whether it's a minor incontinence with their parents,
7:48
receives the treatment that they need.
7:50
Okay, I want to stop it right there.
7:51
I think you get the overarching message.
7:53
It's a very loud campaign ad,
7:54
which is why the audio sounds not so great.
7:57
But the thing that's most amazing is that
7:59
Talarico in his role as a politician out of Austin,
8:04
fighting on Capitol Hill here in the States
8:07
about how kids need gender affirming care,
8:11
which is what he calls it,
8:12
because some doctor somewhere claimed
8:14
that that's what the child needs to be happy.
8:16
And a lot of us, including a lot of medical professionals,
8:19
vehemently disagree with that.
8:21
The entirety of that concept, every part of it, we think it should not happen, etc, etc.
8:27
And now we're supposed to believe that he's magically changed his opinion on that, and
8:31
he doesn't support gender-affirming care for children.
8:34
It is ludicrous.
8:35
It is ridiculous.
8:36
But here's the rub.
8:38
I do think when that message has been going on in some form or fashion since 2016, it
8:43
has lost its effectiveness in the middle.
8:46
I think a lot of people, I'll say it this way, and then we'll take another break.
8:49
I think a lot of people in the middle reside there, like politically that's their ideology,
8:55
partly because they want everyone to be good people.
8:59
They don't want to see the bad in the side that they're willing to vote for some of the
9:03
time, whichever that is, whether there's someone who votes a little bit more democratic, but
9:08
will vote for a Republican every so often, or vice versa.
9:12
And I do think by and large people favor a side.
9:14
I think to talk about an independent as truly someone who 50-50 votes each way is also kind
9:22
of ridiculous because I don't think it exists.
9:25
But I think people who do occasionally vote from the side, maybe that they're more often
9:30
likely to punch a ticket for, they do it partially because they just want to believe in the inherent
9:34
good in everyone.
9:35
So the more that message exists that these people are radical and terrible and awful,
9:39
The more those people in the middle just dismiss it because they just don't want to believe it to be true
9:45
They just don't want to accept the idea that Mamadami and all of his ilk in Talarico here in Texas.
9:53
So much desire for a state run version of every single state in this country that owns everything.
10:01
That they take over the means to production and they do it in a way where they convince you it's for your benefit.
10:07
And then you immediately realize when it doesn't work how horrible that decision was.
10:11
Like, I do think, again, that it's sort of obvious when you talk about these things,
10:17
where the radical left actually is, but I just think there's people in the middle who
10:21
plug their nose or plug their ears.
10:23
They hold up their nose to the idea of it and they just move on.
10:26
They just want to think everybody is better than we know everybody to be.
10:30
And how do you reach those people is, I mean, I guess, a big part of the question of the
10:34
show today.
10:35
All right, we'll take a break.
10:36
We'll come back with some more Trump audio and some other things on The Voice of Texas.
10:52
Fall is here and it's time for the 42nd annual Wings Over Houston air show October 31 and
10:58
November 1 at Ellington Airport.
11:00
Get tickets at wingsoverhouston.com and tune in to the three amigo show Friday at 4pm for

11:11
Your home team for Conservative Talk Radio, the voice of Texas.
11:18
Hi y'all, it's Kathy from Baker Mortgage. You know, with all the scary stuff we've been through, it's still true that timing is everything, and the time to buy is now.
11:27
But don't go looking without a solid pre-approval in hand. And this includes an application and a detailed discussion about property taxes.
11:35
If you didn't have the talk, you know, about property taxes,
11:39
you really don't know what you're pre-approved for.
11:41
That should make you wonder what else they may have left out.
11:44
Mortgages are personal.
11:45
Let's face it, we're dealing with your home and your money.
11:48
And it doesn't get much more personal than that.
11:50
When it's the largest transaction that most people will ever be involved in,
11:54
imagine having someone on your side looking out after you.
11:57
What a concept.
11:59
We audit your closing statement to make sure you're not paying for things
12:02
that you're not supposed to.
12:03
Do you think your big bank's gonna do that?
12:06
Probably not.
12:06
For all of your mortgage needs, call us at Baker Mortgage.
12:09
I promise you'll be glad you did.
12:11
We're at 281-313-MOOVE or go directly to BakerMorgage.com.

12:19
Tune in each Sunday morning at 9 a.m. for On the Money
12:23
with your host and CEO of Allied Wealth Texas,
12:26
Ryan Wielis, who can help you live your richest life
12:28
possible during your retirement years.
12:31
That's each Sunday at 9am right here on AM700 KSEV.
12:46
KSEV radio, the voice of Texas.
12:49
My name is Craig Coglianese.
12:51
Thrilled to be with you.
12:52
Wayne Dolcefino on special assignment.
12:54
The President of the United States on, I think this was Friday night, was crapping all over.
13:00
James Talarico again because James Talarico deserves it. Let's actually see
13:06
if this should be playing. Let me start that over one more time. Here we go.
13:12
And you know when I see that Talafrico in Texas. So he's been a
13:19
vegan all his life. He's campaigned on. He's a vegan. I didn't even know what
13:23
the hell a vegan was. A vegan is vegetables. A vegan is eating a piece of
13:27
Let us all day long.
13:29
A vegan.
13:29
I do love vegan.
13:32
How great that is that the President of the United States doesn't understand vegan.
13:36
He's like, I don't know what this is.
13:37
Why would I have any idea?
13:39
Because meat is delicious.
13:40
But yeah, Trump will probably campaign more and more against Talifrico himself.
13:46
More and more people will come here and campaign against Talifrico and how crazy and awful
13:51
and terrible he is as a person.
13:53
Like we're going to hear more and more of this from a whole lot of other individuals
13:59
because you need to.
14:01
I just, I don't know.
14:03
All right.
14:03
We'll move on from that.
14:04
Maybe we'll revisit that after the 830 break.
14:07
Let's do this.
14:09
Iran's oil minister has resigned.
14:11
No reason has been given for that.
14:13
Iran says no military solution to the conflict with the US as talks remain at a dead end.
14:18
And also in Iran, they're losing some of their leverage over the Strait of Hormuz
14:24
because the US is doing a lot of the heavy lifting and fixing it.
14:29
The President of the United States came out and told people to do more of the work themselves,
14:33
saying that he's done a lot and it's time for other people to act.
14:37
Here's exactly what President Trump said on Truth Social.
14:41
All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom,
14:46
which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran.
14:51
I have a suggestion for you.
14:52
This is the president.
14:53
Number one, buy from the US.
14:55
We have plenty of jet fuel.
14:57
Number two, build up some delayed courage,
15:00
go to the straight and just take it.
15:02
You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourselves.
15:06
The US won't be there for you forever.
15:08
I'm paraphrasing a little bit,
15:09
just like you weren't there to help us, brutal.
15:13
Iran has been essentially decimated.
15:15
the hard part is done, go get your own oil, President Donald J. Trump. I do believe that Trump is
15:24
right in saying that if the other countries of the world had acted with the United States,
15:29
this would be over quicker. There are two things playing against the US when it comes to Iran,
15:35
and when it comes to some of those discussion points that I mentioned earlier in some of the
15:39
places they're being reported on, like Iran says there's not going to be any sort of agreement at
15:44
any point. The two weak points for us, one is very simplistic. One is very obvious, the midterm
15:51
elections. Iran is hoping political pressure allows the United States to cede some level of
15:58
ground that we don't militarily need to cede, that the power we have compared to them doesn't demand
16:04
of us to to relent. The only thing they're hoping changes that is the political desire for Republicans
16:11
Republicans to win elections and us to change how and I love that we haven't done that
16:16
truthfully and I hope that we continue to not do that because
16:21
This is not a defense of Biden and the terrible terrible exit he had in Afghanistan
16:25
But the reason was so poorly planned was politics
16:28
They wanted a political win of we got out nobody else got out
16:31
We did it and so they just did it and they did it to the detriment of so many
16:35
to military men and women who were killed as much as to the entirety of our country and their country
16:40
and how long we fought a fight that we essentially just picked up and left. So I hate that. The other
16:46
big weakness for us right now in this ongoing fight with Iran is the rest of the world sitting and
16:52
watching and not deciding that they should act too in their own best interest. It's not in our best
16:58
interest. They wouldn't do it to support us. They do it for themselves. If Iran is closing the
17:03
of Hormuz because of some sort of, you know, thing they blame on us or on
17:07
Israel and it hurts your country, whoever you are, shouldn't the response
17:12
of your country be, well you can't do this, we're not involved, we're not
17:16
fighting that part of the fight, but you can't, you know, indiscriminately hurt us
17:20
in the process of claiming you're trying to do what you want. Like let's let's use
17:23
this example differently. Let's say that Ukraine did something to pressure the
17:29
rest of the world to support them other than beg for the support the way they
17:32
did when they were invaded and attacked by Russia and we did support them and many people,
17:36
many countries do.
17:38
If Iran had done something to harm the rest of the, or excuse me, Ukraine had done something
17:42
to harm the rest of the world, all that support would have evaporated.
17:45
It all would have disappeared.
17:46
It would all be gone right now.
17:48
Iran is doing that and still essentially gaining support by people not acting, by not fighting.
17:55
And in some cases, people like China actually seeming to aid them, similar to how we helped
18:01
Ukraine in the fight against Russia.
18:04
All of this seems crazy because again, Iran is doing the one thing that seems to demonstrate
18:09
who they actually are as a country and as people.
18:11
They don't give a crap about anyone but themselves and they do it in such a way that they don't
18:16
even care about their own people.
18:18
They are the worst version of a society and a corrupt government and terrorist funding
18:23
organization and they prove it again and again and again and for some reason, somehow, everybody
18:29
stands to the sidelines. All right, other things out there I do think are interesting. Latino
18:35
Democrats are urging Democratic governors associations to put money behind Gina Hinoza
18:41
in Texas. Hinojosa in Texas. You know what I think is really interesting about all of this money that
18:47
flows from outside places? Because it's not Latinos just here in Texas that are saying that we want to
18:54
have a different governor take over. We want someone to beat Greg Abbott. What they're actually
18:59
begging for in all of these places is additional representation for them that just so happens
19:06
to come out of Texas.
19:08
Again, the amount of money that's being thrown at Talarico is designed very much to create
19:14
another Senate position for California or New York or anywhere else and not represent
19:19
the beliefs of Texas.
19:21
If Gina is to win, she will do a lot of damage to a lot of the things that you and I actually
19:26
care about as people who live in the state.
19:30
Texans who want the best for the state itself, that won't be the initiative.
19:36
And part of the reason why will be the money.
19:38
A 16th- Oh, another reason that these Democrats flood this money this direction is very much
19:44
because once they get somebody in office, that's when the favors start to be demanded.
19:49
That's when someone will call or multiple people will call Gina and be like, hey, what's
19:53
going on over here?
19:54
What are you doing now that we got you elected?
19:57
Why don't you pay back that favor that we gave you?
20:01
It's very mob guys.
20:02
I kind of like that we call ourselves the mob guys as a radio show
20:07
Because hopefully we do it much more tongue-in-cheek
20:10
And Wayne does seem to be exposing the mob guys on a daily basis
20:13
But all these politicians do seem to in fact actually be the mob in the way they behave and certainly on the left
20:19
this seems to be true and I think we're seeing that play out but when you have a
20:24
Bunch of people all trying to flood certain races to get a win that they are not connected to like these individuals aren't moving to
20:31
Texas anytime soon. I don't think that's the plan. So even
20:34
more so, it's really just to upend our system. And then to
20:38
motivate people, I've talked about this before, and I'll say
20:41
it again, on the left, to, to show up at their own election in
20:45
their own state, because they're doing well in Texas. This does
20:49
motivate someone in Illinois, who doesn't need the motivation
20:52
because they're a very blue state, or anywhere else to show
20:55
up and vote too, because they think they're winning a larger
20:57
fight. And actually, I didn't mention this earlier. I'll just say it now. I went out to breakfast on
21:05
Sunday morning. And as I was driving, we passed by a group of people that were trying to get
21:10
signatures for something. And I was curious what it was. So I investigated it a little bit more.
21:15
And the individuals were trying to get people to sign documents that said,
21:18
get ice out of Houston. That's all it said. Like, we want ice out. They need to leave,
21:24
which is so stupid, and I'll explain why.
21:29
If you think that ICE is operating inappropriately
21:32
in our state, your actual problem isn't with ICE itself.
21:36
ICE works for the government.
21:38
ICE gets their marching orders from politicians
21:41
and from organizations that then are people
21:45
that are placed in power within organizations,
21:48
all of which comes from politicians.
21:50
So if you actually think that ICE, and I disagree with this,
21:52
I think ICE is doing a good job in a lot of places, including here in Texas, in fixing
21:57
a problem that we cannot allow to get worse, which has gotten over time, which is a whole
22:02
bunch of people legally being in this country.
22:05
But nonetheless, what I'll tell you is even the people who try to fight this thing do
22:09
it on the lowest level, the stupidest, the dumbest way to me, because I don't think they
22:13
actually understand how it works.
22:17
Like when I was standing there listening to some of the conversations that happened, I
22:21
most mystified by how idiotic, like, we just need ice to leave and then everything will be better.
22:28
It's the same message for Democrats and for their supporters when they talk about police in general,
22:34
or when they talk about things that makes Charles Barkley say that some of these ideas are stupid
22:38
as bleep, which he did in an interview over the weekend, because they are. Because you're
22:44
trying to fight the lowest rung of the system that you think is broken instead of fighting
22:49
at the highest levels. And I do think one of the things that Republican voters more understand
22:55
is that it's the politicians that are to blame, not anybody else. And so go after them, but don't
23:01
go after the individuals who work for ICE and who are trying to clean up the streets and clean up
23:05
our state and our communities from people who are doing bad things and hear illegally, which is also
23:13
a crime in and of itself. But truthfully, and we're seeing so much data. Last thing I'll say about
23:19
this topic just because it really hit me over the weekend that it can be that oversimplified
23:24
by people here in this city.
23:28
But the last thing that I was thinking a lot about is when you discuss what the next step
23:34
is, what the right thing to do is how to fix the problems that we face, and you actually
23:39
make them inherently worse, you immediately, hopefully learn from that mistake, but for
23:45
some reason they keep not doing it.
23:46
We have examples of parts of the country, especially just after COVID, who really did
23:52
remove police from their communities, who really did have these zones.
23:58
I think Seattle was one of the biggest places that did it, and it was horrible.
24:02
What happened there was terrible.
24:04
So instead of saying and admitting that my solution doesn't actually work, they just
24:09
reintroduced the solution again a few weeks later and hope that you're stupid enough to
24:13
forgotten what you saw the last time or if you've seen it here.
24:17
But that's that's the other part that's amazing to me is even within our own
24:21
country, we have definitive examples of how bad these concepts actually are in
24:26
practice. All right. We'll take another break. We'll come back.
24:28
We'll try to have a little fun. You know what? Screw it.
24:30
We talk about so many serious things all the time on this show and other radio
24:34
shows. And yet we're supposed to do fun stuff, too.
24:38
So I'll have a quick four ish segment after this on KSEV mornings and the
24:43
the voice of Texas.

When it comes to garage doors no one knows more than the doctor.
25:03
Garage door doctor.
25:05
Hi I'm Tommy Mello CEO of Garage Door Doctor.
25:08
Here's a question for you.
25:09
When was the last time you thought about your garage door?
25:11
Most people never do. The problem is that your garage drawer may be the hardest
25:15
working appliance in your home. It opens and closes thousands of times every year,
25:20
lifting hundreds of pounds each and every time. You change the oil in your
25:24
car, you service your air conditioner, your garage drawer deserves the same
25:28
attention. A simple tune-up catches warm parts before they fail. A tune-up keeps
25:33
everything running quietly and can add years of life to your system. And that's
25:37
why preventative maintenance is one of the smartest investments you can make
25:40
for your garage door. Garage doors usually warn you before they break. We're here to
25:45
help before that happens. Call today for a $29.95 tune up special. From repairs to upgrades,
25:51

As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver justice that is fair, understandable,
26:13
and within reach.
26:15
Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law as written, so
26:19
the rules don't change depending on who walks into the courtroom.
26:23
But fairness also means a court system that works for the people it serves.
26:27
Blacklock has called for reducing unnecessary delays in expenses, simplifying court procedures,
26:32
and making legal services more affordable.
26:35
because a case should be decided on the facts and the law, not on who can afford the longest fight.
26:41
Texas courts belong to the people. That means judges should be accountable, rules should be clear,
26:46
and the system should be accessible to those who rely on it.
26:50
For Blacklock, equal justice means more than a principle.
26:53
It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and afford to use.
26:58
Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock, clear rules, accountable courts, equal justice under law.

27:10
Weather Center today will be mostly sunny with a high of 86 tonight.
27:13
Expect mostly cloudy skies with a low of 70 tomorrow will be sunny to partly
27:18
cloudy with a high of 89 Wednesday will be very warm with variable cloudiness
27:22
and a high of 91 Thursday will have the sun breaking through clouds at times
27:26
reaching a high of 89 Friday will have intervals of clouds and sunshine with a
27:30
high of 83 with the KSEV Weather Center forecast. I'm AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Lundgren.
27:48
KSEV Radio, the voice of Texas, I will be filling in later today on the Dana Show. D Lash, Dana
27:55
Lash Radio on X. A great way to stay connected to her is what I usually say in every single
28:00
break and then at Radio Craig Coglianese If you for some reason want to follow me, although here
28:05
at this station where I actually work, maybe there's a shot that more people will do it.
28:09
She does a segment called the Quick Five, which is anything other than serious news.
28:14
And sometimes we just desperately need that.
28:16
So I'm going to do some of that real quick.
28:18
Maybe we can just call this rapid fire on KSEV mornings and then we'll get back to the serious
28:23
stuff.
28:24
Some other things going on out there.
28:25
An AI radio DJ has a quote shot at stardom in Los Angeles according to I think NBC News
28:33
That did a report on this. There's a Spanish language like
28:38
Country DJ. This is so weird. This is so in the weeds
28:42
Coyotech I think is the the name of the guy he co-hosts a show with a human being
28:47
Her name is Gigi Guzman and again
28:50
Again it's a Spanish language show on a Spanish language station in California that is expanding.
28:57
They're picking up more affiliates, more individuals will be airing the show, and it's creating
29:04
certain questions within what my profession is, what we do for a living here at this radio
29:09
station broadcasting, and what the likelihood is of more AI people eventually taking the
29:15
jobs of real human beings.
29:17
And I have somewhat of a nuanced thought on this.
29:21
I think it's really important that it's a Spanish language station within the United
29:25
States.
29:26
And the reason I say that is because a lot of people who listen to a spoken Spanish
29:31
word here in this country already feel a disassociation with the people on the air.
29:38
Essentially meaning a lot of people already feel a closer tie to wherever they're from,
29:43
Whether it's Mexico or some other Spanish-speaking country who just prefer like, you know definitively listen to Spanish radio
29:50
I think people who listen to both
29:52
English and Spanish radio would dislike this more. I think it's the people who really
29:57
maybe don't even speak English well and listen predominantly to Spanish language in places like Macallan.
30:03
I went to Macallan and I talked to Sergio Sanchez who does an amazing show out there and is another Dana affiliate.
30:10
And he goes, you know part of our audience
30:12
we can't reach them no matter what we say because they don't speak the language. They don't speak English in Macallan, Texas.
30:18
And there's data that backs that up, the amount of people who really only speak a certain language.
30:23
And that's a broken part of our country and our system, as many of us believe.
30:27
If you live here, you probably should at least be fluent in English, if not in something else, fine,
30:32
but at least speak the language of the rest of the people who live here.
30:37
But I think that's why this is working, because I still believe that when you find out that someone is AI and not a real person,
30:44
And if the AI is smart enough to deceive you long enough,
30:47
you might not figure it out for a while,
30:49
especially if you go the extra steps
30:51
of following people on social media
30:52
and watching AI videos of the AI host.
30:56
But at some point when you discover it's not a real person,
30:58
I think you'll feel betrayed.
31:00
And I think the only reason that this might be working
31:02
better here in California with the setup it has
31:06
is because those individuals already might not feel
31:08
as though they can connect with an American born host,
31:11
which is a very different problem.
31:14
But I do think that this is interesting
31:16
and that people are highlighting
31:18
and that NBC News is talking about like the win here,
31:21
because I think that's gonna be true of a lot of jobs.
31:24
I'll tell you another thing I truly hate.
31:26
I hate it so much and it's happening so much more.
31:29
And I'd actually love call-ins on this at KSEV Radio.
31:33
So you can call in and throw your opinion out there.
31:36
The call-in number for KSEV is 281-558-5738,
31:44
I hate how AI has advanced so much that it's harder to get a real person when you call
31:50
customer service.
31:51
It was always hard.
31:53
Everybody had the buttons you had to press and the things you had to do to force the
31:57
computer to behave the way it was supposed to behave and get you to a person, but now
32:01
it fights you more.
32:03
Now I've noticed that if it's trying to really pretend as though it's not a computer, it's
32:10
a fully functioning AI, it really doesn't want you to talk
32:14
to a person. And that drives me insane. Because even if the AI
32:18
could handle it, I actually don't want to talk to them. I
32:21
want to talk to a human, especially if I'm mad about
32:23
something, something involved in, you know, something I've done
32:27
as a customer, I bought something, I don't like it. I
32:30
want the person I talked to to understand the emotional
32:33
frustration I have, not just like to understand my objection,
32:37
but I want them to know, I don't know where it's coming from. I
32:40
like that. When I talk to customer service and they say,
32:43
I'm sorry, you're experiencing this, I like that. And the AI,
32:47
the robot can't do it. And so part of me is wondering the ways
32:50
in which you see more and more of the inevitable intrusion of
32:54
this technology in our society, if one of those things that
32:57
happens is more and more people get annoyed like I do just
33:01
interacting with a robot that you're forced to interact with
33:04
when you're calling a customer service phone number, because I
33:06
think that's the first version of a universal experience that
33:10
a lot of us can say, Hey, I really don't like this a 281
33:15
5585738. If you also can think of another instance where when
33:19
you interact with technology, you're actually just really
33:22
annoyed by it because I think that's also true. Another thing
33:25
out there that I thought was interesting. teens tick tock
33:29
stunt ended horribly after he filmed himself cutting his hair
33:33
in the middle of the road. This happened in Florida. He was
33:37
actually hospitalized in serious condition because he was hit by
33:39
a car. I have audio of a police officer and a witness talking about the the
33:44
incident involving the teenagers. But essentially they were trying to do a
33:48
stunt where they ran to the middle of the road on a busy street or on a
33:51
highway and then cut their hair and then ran back and filmed it all for social
33:55
media. And you can tell how stupid this is. Here's a police officer and a
33:59
witness talking about it.
34:01
He wanted to use a roadway as they're set.
34:04
I pray for the kid who just got hit and his family.
34:07
I was giving my boy a haircut, hearing a whole bunch of guitars, guitar screeches, and stuff like that.
34:16
Yeah, next thing I know I'm gonna say.
34:17
Flat text.
34:18
She was very distraught. It is a lot to take in. I don't think he realized the severity of it at first.
34:24
Don't put your life or anybody's life at risk for the likes. It's not worth it.
34:28
I kind of really loved that last part of that message there. Like, don't put your life or anybody else's life at risk just to get some social media interaction because it's definitely worth it.
34:36
for anybody's life I risk for the likes.
34:39
It's not worth it.
34:39
I wonder what you also do, because I would say if you're a parent and your kid is doing
34:45
anything in the world of the internet where they're getting more and more involved and
34:48
more and more say obsessed with how well they're doing in the world of technology, how well
34:54
they're doing in social media, if they're getting enough interactions, I think you should
34:59
be worried.
35:00
I think most people should be worried if their kid is starting to really even assess their
35:05
own value based on how many strangers like the things they put up on the
35:09
internet because I think that's uniquely damaging to children and I think that
35:14
this is the outcome in that world of that kind of thing that you see more and
35:18
more of and thankfully the individual who's in serious condition I think is
35:21
believed that he's gonna wind up being okay but again this is the kind of thing
35:27
we're also seeing more and more of. One last sillier topic or I guess just not
35:32
political because that one was certainly still serious. But I
35:35
saw the best time to eat breakfast is between seven and
35:39
eight o'clock. Well, we are on the radio here in this state at
35:43
this station in Houston. 40% of people say that they already do
35:47
this. But 31,000 Americans were surveyed. And some of the
35:52
different data you found as far as their health is concerned, I
35:56
was also a part of this study. And it found that people who eat
36:00
between seven and eight o'clock, overwhelmingly healthier.
36:03
And I don't know if that means that people who eat
36:05
like exceptionally later just have weirder schedules,
36:08
because if you're waking up and having breakfast
36:10
at say 11 or 12, maybe there's some reason to think
36:12
that that's worse for you.
36:14
I don't know.
36:16
But it does seem to just simply be an accurate thing to say
36:20
that this study found that having a consistent body
36:23
eternal clock, your body's eternal clock,
36:25
or your circadian rhythm and your metabolism
36:29
I'm all being matched up in a certain way to where you're waking up similarly to when
36:33
the sun comes up, that you're definitively a healthier person.
36:37
And I'll just tell you in response to this story, it's the kind of thing that I never
36:40
want to tell my wife.
36:42
I find it because I work in radio.
36:44
I realize that there's other people in radio who might also talk about this and she might
36:48
hear it somewhere, but I just don't want to be the person who brings that message home
36:52
because she'll just nod her head and be like, I told you, I knew I was right.
36:55
I knew you got to wake up earlier, Craig.
36:56
I know you got to get to certain things sooner in the day because it's just going to make your life
37:01
better. But now that I do a morning show actually that's sort of no longer a challenge,
37:06
it might have been before when I worked other shifts and really I love sleeping in. I love it.
37:11
On the weekend I love doing it too and it also drives my wife crazy. All right, one serious thing
37:17
and then we'll take a break and we'll come back and we'll close with a lot of actual news stuff.
37:21
Jake Tapper asked Scott Jennings if holding your nose and voting for Ken Paxton is a winning strategy.
37:28
Jake Tapper's a piece of crap a whole lot of the time on CNN.
37:31
He also loves to say bad words now, which kind of surprises me.
37:35
He'll do it in a way that he thinks is journalistically important, like when he's quoting somebody else.
37:41
And I know it's cable. I know they can do what they want, but this is a guy who drops F-bombs occasionally on cable television now
37:48
without really warning the audience it's going to happen.
37:50
But here he is asking a question to Scott Jennings who I really like about Ken Paxton and about that race and about
37:57
People who just simply feel that he's not the candidate they would have wanted even if they can't possibly support
38:04
Talarico at the same time
38:07
And she says she urges voters to vote for the Republican ticket
38:11
Will hold your nose and vote for Ken Paxton be a winning message or an sufficient? Well, I hope so
38:17
I mean, I mean look it's it's something that people are talking about down there the fact that she
38:23
Decided to go out and become part of this campaign is
38:27
Noteworthy and I mean two things can be true. You could think Ken Paxton has made, you know bad personal decisions
38:33
But at the same time, you know, I don't want to put my face in a wood chipper and I like Democrats around the country
38:38
I mean they've gone plumb crazy right now
38:39
With all the socialism and the abolish ice and the abolish prisons and the abolish borders, etc, etc
38:44
So just because I have some quibble with Kim Paxton's personal life doesn't mean I have
38:49
to turn the country over to people who hate it.
38:51
And so I think that's a pretty decent message.
38:53
All right, I actually I want to play that last part because I love that last part.
38:56
Polish eyes and the abolished prisons and the abolished borders, etc, etc.
38:59
Just so just because I have some quibble with Kim Paxton's personal life doesn't mean I
39:04
have to turn the country over to people who hate it.
39:06
And so I think that's a pretty decent message.
39:08
Yeah, I think that's a great message.
39:09
And I do think one of the weirder things that's happened in the world of political infighting
39:13
and political like campaigning is trying to rip apart the personal life of someone, or
39:20
at least in the case of President Trump, just full on throw him in jail and try to go that
39:24
road to defeat him.
39:25
When that might have very little, if actually nothing to do with what would inevitably be
39:30
the way that someone runs an actual campaign or the way that someone actually runs the
39:35
job of whatever office position they get.
39:37
Senator, I don't care what it is. If, you know, how you treat your spouse and if you're someone who's
39:45
been unfaithful, if that's something that actually is relevant to how you're going to be a senator.
39:51
To be honest, and this is horrible to say, but I'll say it, and then we'll take the last break
39:54
and we'll come back.
39:55
Ken Paxton is someone who's been very faithful to the Republican Party and very faithful to President Trump and done a lot of things as an attorney general that demonstrates a value system that I very much support politically in doing the thing that's hard to do, doing the thing that maybe other people won't do and other attorney generals, attorneys general throughout the country don't do.
40:17
It's just really interesting to me that that's the kind of thing that proves that he is actually a person who has a
40:25
Code of conduct that he follows very closely in the world of politics and that should be all that matters to me
40:31
And anyone who tells me the opposite who tells me his personal life is some demonstration
40:36
Of how he'll actually behave or what you know, he'll do in office
40:40
They they absolutely aren't following the political career of a Ken Paxton
40:44
They're only following the personal life version of it, and I'm not I'm not defending that stuff
40:48
I'm just saying that it's interesting to see how a very much
40:54
Like you know the opposites Ken paxon is when it comes to his
40:59
Absolute commitment to the side of the aisle that he's on politically all right quick break a lot more Craig Coglianese on

Hey let me ask you a quick question
42:02
how many times have you switched your health insurance in the last few years?
42:05
how many times have you wanted to switch your health insurance the last few years?
42:09
If you're in good health and pay your own insurance, you don't have to settle for scary high deductibles or unaffordable premiums.

Let American medical plans find the right plan for you and a price you can afford.

Call 833-500-PLAN.

No, this is not some ridiculous Obamacare plan with no doctors and a limited HMO.

And it's not some rinky dink insurance company that doesn't cover a single claim.
42:31
No, this is real coverage for you and your family.

because there's just so many systems now
44:45
that kind of demand or try to demand
44:47
that you don't talk to an actual human being,
44:49
281-558-5738, if you want to call in about that,
44:53
281-558-5738.
44:56
And I just yell agent into the phone
44:58
until a human being actually gets on.
45:00
This is interesting to me.
45:03
An attorney general on the Facebook page three days ago
45:07
put something out about Kathy Hochul, the New York governor.
45:11
She was asked about this and she responded to it
45:13
in sort of a ridiculous way,
45:15
the way that you expect people to.
45:18
This is making the news nationally.
45:19
Let's go ahead and hit play on this.
45:21
Attorney general on your Facebook page three days ago,
45:23
you wrote, what this young woman has been forced to endure
45:26
is horrific and unacceptable.
45:27
I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers to her and to all survivors.
45:31
You're not alone.
45:32
We stand with you.
45:33
Why did you affirm her allegations as fact without doing your own fact finding investigation
45:39
into the governor?
45:40
Why did you appoint an official who made a public statement affirm allegations as fact
45:47
as someone who's supposed to be doing an investigation?
45:49
This is so, so good.
45:51
But why do people like Letitia James in New York, the attorney general there, actually
45:58
put stuff on social media when they're supposed to be the person that's trying the hardest
46:04
to not be biased, to be independent and to go get the information, get the truth before
46:10
then telling us what they think?
46:11
Why do they have to share their opinion so quickly?
46:14
We have this happen here in Houston and in Texas.
46:17
Our own leaders, the ones who are supposed to be doing our investigations, often seem to give their own opinion way too quickly, way too early on in that process. Here's how Hochul and James answered it.
46:30
I will answer that. I have every confidence in our Attorney General to do what she has always done. Look at the facts, examine the record, and draw the proper conclusions. That's exactly what's going to happen in this case.
46:43
Attorney General, please.
46:44
I will not comment on a Facebook post.
46:47
Okay, why I love this so much is Hochul has to feel like she got stabbed in the back there
46:54
because the question is ridiculous.
46:56
The question is, why would the attorney general in New York seem to take a side long before
47:01
they have enough information to know which side of anything they're supposed to be on?
47:06
And Hochul drove deep into the paint.
47:08
She was throwing elbows like Shaq in the late 90s, early 2000s, just dominant as far as
47:14
like everything's going great.
47:15
And then James immediately played to the fifth.
47:18
Who made a public statement.
47:19
Oh, it's so good.
47:21
Affirming those allegations as fact
47:23
as someone who's supposed to be doing an investigation.
47:26
I will answer that.
47:27
I have every confidence in our attorney general.
47:29
She's amazing.
47:30
To do what she has always done.
47:32
Look at the facts, examine the record.
47:34
How dare anybody say anything different.
47:34
For all the proper conclusions.
47:35
That's exactly what's going to happen in this case.
47:38
Go ahead and turn to general.
47:39
What do you want to say?
47:39
I will not comment on a Facebook post.
47:41
Again, I love that so much.
47:44
That's so great.
47:45
Because when you start doing some investigations that hopefully they're actually doing in New
47:50
York and any of the cases that they talk about there, and you start to realize that the things
47:54
you said are not accurate, that some of the way in which you shaped it, like our own leaders,
48:01
as I said here, and I think it was the CBS news story that went viral, where there was
48:06
demonstration that there's tremendous bias, tremendous opinion going into
48:14
investigating something from the people in political positions who most need to
48:18
look into things from a non-bias. Like how do you discover the truth if you
48:23
believe that, and in this case what I'm actually quoting is when we heard some
48:29
of our own leadership say that you know ICE is out there to fight people. ICE is
48:36
of confusion and moments of chaos in order to shoot people that are innocent.
48:42
That's something we heard from one of our own leaders here in Texas.
48:45
It's just crazy to me, or one of our own leaders in Harris County, because when you hear someone
48:50
say that and then they're supposed to go back behind closed doors and look hard at evidence
48:55
and figure out what's true or not, you know that confirmation bias is at the forefront
49:00
of what they're actually going to find.
49:01
If they find 20 pieces of information that seem to back up the idea that the ICE agent acted reasonably,
49:08
and they had every reason to say fear for the life if they chose to use their weapon during any sort of ICE pursuit or ICE investigation or ICE apprehension of someone,
49:20
if that ever happens and you have someone who believes that ICE is trying to manipulate these situations to kill people,
49:26
there's no way that you see that evidence correctly.
49:28
There's no way that you can articulate or even perceive the correct version of what's
49:37
supposed to be non-bias if you can't rest for a few minutes.
49:41
That's the other thing.
49:42
And I'll say this as we're getting close to the end of the show that did kind of annoy
49:47
me with Kristi Noem from time to time, and I think it's true of a lot of politicians
49:51
like that, is like you went out too early.
49:53
You gave your opinion too early.
49:54
You did it for political reasons too.
49:56
When you go out too early on something and you say what you think happened before you
50:01
know what happened, the only reason you do that is because of a political desire to win,
50:07
to get something here that you wouldn't normally get, say, if politics didn't matter.
50:14
If you could just silence your own political career for a few minutes, I think there's
50:18
a lot of people who do better.
50:20
Let's play one last thing.
50:21
I do think this is interesting too.
50:23
Scott Jennings, also from CNN, also with Jake Tapper, was blowing the lid off of a cost
50:28
of living argument for Democrats.
50:30
I thought this was really good.
50:32
You'll probably hear me talk about this more on the Dana show today from two to four o'clock.
50:36
I think it's pretty simple. If I were running a campaign right now, I'd say the people who dug a very deep hole are making you one promise.
50:43
Go back to the shovels and I wouldn't let them do it. I think the Republicans have great points to make.
50:48
I think they've passed legislation. I've not heard a single Democrat campaign argue what bill or policy they would change.
50:54
They want to go back to the way they were doing it and most of the cost of living in this country that people are mad about
50:59
came under Democrat.
51:00
Yes, most of the cost of living problems that have happened over the last few years in this country
51:04
started to happen when Democrats were in office and started to get a little bit
51:09
better and then of course the the war in Iran made them worse which I'm not gonna
51:13
pretend that's not true but but nonetheless as you say that like you
51:16
wonder how you could possibly go back to the side that was failing as bad as they
51:19
were and that feels like a more simplified and valuable message than
51:23
anything else. It's crazy how quick this show goes we're already almost out of
51:27
time on our two-hour morning show radio show in the voice of Texas. Thrilled to
51:32
be with you every single day. Wayne Dolcefino will be back
51:36
tomorrow on the show. We'll probably dive deeper. I just
51:39
want to throw this out there in an ongoing basis, not just
51:43
tomorrow, but probably quite often. And it started because AI
51:46
that we're going to do it. So I can crap on AI and like it at the
51:49
same time. But nonetheless, part of the thing we'll be doing is
51:53
giving you more of that reporting that D'Alciofino
51:55
consulting is doing because it's pretty great. And honestly, the
51:59
story they just broke over the weekend of a person running for office who's
52:04
accused of some really horrible stuff but he's a Democrat so it becomes stuff
52:08
we talk about less often is just sort of mystifying to me like it's funny that
52:13
Paxton is so constantly berated and talked about from a person standpoint
52:19
from a you know how he lives his private life standpoint and then you have another
52:23
example another example of a horrible behaving human being who runs on the
52:28
other side of the aisle and you're like, well, but that doesn't matter. But then it's about politics.
52:32
It's not about this other stuff. If it's a Democrat, how dare you? All right, we'll come back tomorrow.
52:37
We'll do the whole thing. Technology will all be fixed to work even better. KSEV,
52:42
mornings, the voice of Texas. I'll talk to you next time.
