It is time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer. Good morning.
Everyone is sound if I go wanon news radio seven forty KTRH and
our top story this hour. IfI resign today, we lose momentum on
the things that are going to havethe best possible impact for the greater Houston

(01:51):
region. Yeah, Center points CEOJason Wells. They are refusing to resign
during a Senate committee hearing on theresponse to Hurricane Beryl. This happened yesterday.
He promised to do better when thenext storm HiT's well. We have
outlined here is an ambitious set offorty actions to immediately improve resiliency, our
communications in our partnerships this hurricane season. Yeah. The first of those actions

(02:15):
is a new cloud based outage trackerfor all of US consumers that well says
will be operational Thursday this week.He also told lawmakers at Centerpoint doesn't have
authority to trim many of the treesthat actually caused the fallen power lines because
they are on private property owners didn'tkeep them trimmed. The barrel death toll

(02:37):
in the Houston area now at thirtyeight, with at least fourteen of those
deaths attributed to the heat and longterm power outages. Though five oh two
is our time. President Joe Bidenand Houston last night paying respects to Congresswoman
Sheila Jackson Lee, who died earlierthis month from pancreatic cancer. Vice President
Kamala Harris coming to Houston on Thursdayfor the funeral. Harris has yet to

(03:00):
receive a single vote for her runfor president, but Democrats are moving forward
with a plan to nominate her beforethe Democrat Convention. This is supposed to
be a constitutional publicishment the people decide, they decide who they vote for,
they decide who they nominate, andKamala was not one of those people.
She was not nominated, She wasnot selected. She was handpicked by the

(03:22):
DNC to circumvent the will of thepeople. Yep, that's not how it
works. Political strategist Raving Harrison thereshe calls this a coup by the oligarchs
of the party. The Democrats willhold a virtual role call this week of
their delegates to officially nominate Harris.She's campaigning though. In the resignation of

(03:45):
New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez afterhis conviction on corruption charges. Maybe could
impact future Senate votes, or maybenot. The Democrats will still be able
to make a vote happen if theywant to. Political analyst Michelle Maple says,
one way or another, the Democratswill get what they want. I
think there will be a replacement.However, for whatever reason, if there's

(04:08):
not, iinde. Kamala Harris couldprobably find a private jet to hit you
right on to come vote if andwhen there is a tie. But considering
the Senate is working just seventeen daysbetween now and November, they probably won't
do much anyway, Cliff Saunders,News Radio seven forty KTRH. It is
now five h four. There's anextreme movement and agenda. By the way,

(04:31):
they're serious, man, They're planninganother onslaught attacking civil rights in America.
Yeah, those white supremacists. PresidentBiden and Austin yesterday announcing his radical,
the Democrat Marxist proposal to radically remakethe US Supreme Court, instituting term
limits for justices, a code ofconduct, and limits on their granting of

(04:55):
presidential immunity or the Supreme Court's definitionof it, which President Donald Trump finds
ironic. All of the things he'sdone that is so bad he desperately wants
immunity, is no way he wouldwrite off community. Yeah, Donald Trump
in a lengthy interview on Fox hehas agreed to be interviewed by the FBI

(05:16):
as part of the DHS investigation intohis July thirteenth attempted assassination in Pennsylvania.
He also pledged to go back toButler for another rally where he was shot,
completing what he had started. HouseSpeaker Mike Johnson is named Pennsylvania Congressman
Mike Kelly chair of the committee thatwill investigate the attempt on Trump's life the

(05:39):
Congressional Investigation. Texas Senator Ted Cruzsays the White House bears responsibility for the
attack. I believe this administration putspartisan politics above doing their jobs and protecting
the American people, and I thinkthat is why they did not assign adequate
protection to protect Donald Trump. WithKatie Rhs Sean Hannity now, the FBI,

(06:02):
leaking through their usual media, saysthat Thomas Matthew Crooks has been purchasing
firearms and bomb making material for overa year. The Wall Street Journal says
that he was using an alias,and Crooks said actually had all these weapons
sent to his parents' home. Trump'sspeech in Nashville this past weekend briefly delayed

(06:26):
by the way by the Secret Serviceover what they say was yet another security
concern. Just two weeks after Pennsylvania, the New York Post reports the two
credentialed and screened attendees at the Bitcoinconference were removed from it for not following
proper entry protocols. It's now fiveoh seven HPD maybe close to having a
new chief. Our TV partner Channeltwo reporting the mayor John Webmeyer will probably

(06:50):
name Katie police chief. No ideasas Troy Fenner's replacement. Do I think
that he can manage it? Byall indication he can. I believe that
HPD will benefit from this selection.Former HPD officer there Mike Knox now Diaz
is a former Texas ranger. Televisionreport says HPDs confirm more than a half

(07:11):
dozen recent break ins at apartment complexesin the Museum district. For those took
place just last Thursday, no arresthave been made. It's now five oh
seven national debt now at thirty fivetrillion dollars. It's a milestone. It
works out to one hundred four thousand, four hundred and ninety seven dollars we

(07:33):
owe in debt as Americans per personper household two hundred sixty six thousand,
two hundred and seventy five as wefloat the boat. It's extracted by Congress.
You've heard of dynamic pricing. Youknow what it is. It's used
for ride shares, airlines, concerttickets. You know, more money at

(07:54):
peak times. But now some companiesare developing tech in order to do personal
prizing, useing your data to chargemore to individuals who spend the way they
don't like Kurt cookconnuts and with CyberGuidedot com says some stores are now switching
and putting on all digital price tags. These stores will now have even more

(08:18):
incentive to fluctuate prices, which cannow change multiple times a day with these
devices. Is that good news?I'm not so sure. Yeah. Federal
Trading Commission investigating eight companies who advertisethe use of AI for personal pricing.

ninety one bucks a month on theirside hustle. This is up from eight
hundred and ten dollars last year.The number of respondents who said they had

(09:24):
a side hustle down slightly from lastyear's thirty nine percent, but again,
more people are side hustling because ofinflation, because of eye interest rates.
In other words, we just Ijust have to make more money. I
go and make so much money doingwhat I do, so I got to
go find something else to do tomake more money. That's that's how it
works. Sky Mike is we've alreadydiscussed he has several You have several side

Let me see if I can getthis here. That's from Baker. That's

brought to you by Morow Mechanical.It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you
by New South Windows Solutions. Nowback to Jimmy and Sherah with the info
you need to take on the day. You know, some people are naughty

(12:26):
by nature. I'm suspicious by nature, and I'm very suspicious of everything having
to do with the attempted assassination ofDonald Trump. Now, the least of
which is being the latest thing,which is this bipartisan committee that's been formed.
What's interesting to me that is perhapsone of, if not the most
qualified people to be on this committeewas purposely left off, Representative Corey Mills.

(12:52):
He has a military background, hehas a sniper background. He's a
perfect person to investigate something like this. Are to be a part of the
commit and they won't let him onthe committee. M wonder why that is.
Warn That story coming up next.First though, at five twenty,
time for traffic and whether together.As we check out the drive again,
here's sky Mike. No. Igot a live shot here of a Spur

get you caught up on some ofour top stories on this Tuesday morning.
You're shreff. It's five twenty onenow on news radio seven forty ktrah.
These headlines are sponsored by Morrow Mechanical. Does Donald Trump send signals? He
says he will probably debate Kamala Harris, group of fifteen Republican states filing a

(14:24):

(15:13):
hour. It's gonna be a hotsummer. This war, protest, the
trial, our borders, this election. The hottest happenings happen right here.
Use Radio seven forty KTRH. RepresentativeCorey Mills, Republican from Florida has been
one of the more outspoken. Maybethis is the reason he's not done this

(15:35):
Bipartisan committee. One of the moreoutspoken members of Congress who actually is willing
to say, just like I've beensaying, funny, I have to believe
one of two things. Either theSecret Service and local law enforcement are completely
incompetent or it was purposeful one orthe other. And he's not sure which

(15:58):
one to believe in neither quite honestlyat this point, although I'm leaning leaning
rather heavily in one direction. He'snot on the Biparsion Committee. He said
he got a call from Speaker MikeJohnson. Sorry, you're not on the
committee. I'll make it up toyou. Huh, why didn't they demand
he be on the committee. He'sgot a military background. He was in

(16:18):
any second Airborne. He's got asniper background. Because he sounds biased,
he's done a lot of defense.Well, he just spoke the truth,
yes he did. He said,it's either incompetence or I mean, a
president's not a candidate. It's notsupposed to get shot. Exactly. A
former president is not supposed to getshot. It's one or the other.

(16:38):
So anyway, here's represent of CoreyMills. He did an interview last night
on Fox. The bottom line isis that I actually have conducted about a
thousand of these type of advances.I made sure to clarify that with former
commanders arm Major Ken Christo, whoused to be our advanced team leader at
the State Department and Agencies, tosay how many do we do? He
said, we probably did about thousandof these. I mean I was setting
up over watches, looking at ourkid operation plans, looking at our security

(17:00):
our communication plans, looking at ouradvanced checklist, making sure we had our
counter sniper range cards and data book, you know, all the things that
would make me qualified to ask thesequestions. But I can tell you the
same way as Director Cheetle, resigningwon't stop this investigation. Me not being
part of this task force will notstop me from getting accountability and investigating further

(17:21):
to be able to get transparency tothe American people. So it's unfortunate I'm
not a part of that. Iguess I'm not much of a politician and
elite leadership, yes man, Butyou know, I'm going to continue to
go ahead and move forward because Ithink the American people need the transparency of
what really took place that day.There was more than one building dig and
this is the thing that you guyshave to understand. There was a building
that was four hundred yards away completelyat the twelve o'clock facing the stage that

(17:42):
would have also have been an actualshooter's paradise by the Koboda sign. You
had about twelve other structure that couldhave been utilized. And when you don't
have a full presidential package and youdon't have a proper advance I personally would
not have approved this venue or recommendeda new venue if I didn't have the
resources and assets to go forward.But there's all lot to discover here,
to include why there was no onein that window at the time of the

(18:03):
shooting, because they went down becauseof a data card entry problem for two
of the law enforcement officers are supposedto be on their post, and so
there's a lot to look into.But I removed nothing off the table.
But we will get to a point, and I truly believe this that gross
negligence will be indistinguishable from purposeful intentand that's where the problem for conspiracies lie.
There you go. Yeah, Iliked what he said. He's been
a butler. He's completely scoped theplace out. Yeah. We were running

(18:29):
an audio with him from him lastweek while you were out. Yeah,
I mean it was. He's beenvery straight and what he said, Yah,
that's right. He's been very thoroughin his investigation. So a political
fog. PR Machines says, Iguess I'm not a political yes man.
That's why he's not on the committee. I think it's more concern over the

(18:49):
questions he's going to ask based onhis own expertise. Do you really think
a bipartisan committee in Congress is goingto accomplish anything no other than to obsfu
obsfuse skate. I can't say theword obfuse skate. Yeah, the results.
No, I would be shocked ifthey came up with anything other than

(19:10):
you know, some sort of anegligence. Cause as far as what happened,
I don't think they'll. I don'tthink they will. And even if
they thought they were going down thatrabbit hole of a purposeful I don't think
they would go down the very forit. And it was pretty obvious to
people watching that there was a lotof incompetence on display. And yes,
you know you're getting a lot offeedback from the local law enforcement. How
they were cut out, There wereno meetings, they weren't the same radio.

(19:33):
I mean, basic facts, yep, exactly five twenty six. Now
time to take a look at yourmoney. Good morning, Corney down a

(22:11):
for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer. It's five thirty two on news Radio
seven forty KTRH and our top storythis hour. If you believe VP Kamala
Harris and mainstream media, Donald Trumpis afraid to debate her now. Trump
said the record straight on that lastnight. I want to do a debate,
but I also can say this,everybody knows who I am, and

(22:33):
now people know who she is.Trump with Fox's Laura Ingram. Now,
despite the left narrative, Harris isa failed border czar. Governor Greg Abbas
says she needs to answer for therecent death of a Texas officer. There
was a police officer in San Antonio, Texas who was shot by gunn by

(22:53):
an illegal immigrant allowed in and allowedto remain in the United States of America.
Abbott also challenging Harris to support SenatorTed Cruz's Justice for Jocelyn Act when
she comes back to Texas on Thursday, here to Houston to attend services for
the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer says that Harris could

(23:15):
announce her running mate within the nextweek. One of the reported contenders,
however, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooperreportedly has withdrawn from consideration. Mainstream media
gushing over Harris. There is awarning from RNC coachair Lara Trump that Harris
is more dangerous than Joe Biden.We know Joe Biden was an empty vessel
and they just kind of moved himaround and manipulated him as necessary. She

(23:38):
actually believes in these policies. Trumpon with kt RHS Sean Hannity. Now,
President Biden in Austin yesterday announced hisbelief what the left calls US Supreme
Court reform moves he would take todismantle the Court. Basically, you're going
to hear that in Trump's reaction atsix am five point thirty four is a

(24:00):
time American intelligence believes that Iran istrying to sabotage the former President Trump's campaign
through online's influence operations. Earlier thismonth, Iran accused of a pod to
assassinate Trump. Separate from the Julythirteenth attack in Butler, Pennsylvania, tensions
rising between Israel and heswel of theUS Embassy in Beirut now urging Americans to

(24:22):
leave Lebanon before any crisis turns hot. We recommend US citizens develop a crisis
plan of action and leave before acrisis begins. Video posted the account of
our embassy in Beirut State Department,with no plans to evacuate it. However,
as of yet, Israel considering retaliationagainst the Iranian back terror group Hezbolah

(24:48):
after a rocket attack hit a soccerfield in the Golan Heights, killing twelve
children. It's now five point thirtyfive. After years of demonizing the oil
industry, Hera now trying to walkback her anti fossil fuel record. Fox's
Phil Flynn says, kind of hardto do. A radical green agenda is
what's most dangerous about her. Whenyou want to force the American people to

(25:17):
stop using fossil fuels, force themto drive electric cars, force them to
use electric stoves, and get ridof their gas stoves. When you get
those kind of policies in place,it always leads to higher prices. Yeah,
he says, we're going to havea real energy crisis unless something is
fixed, and Harris is not thefixer. Oil futures right now trading for
about seventy five bucks a barrel thismorning. It's been fourteen years since the

(25:41):
so called Affordable Care Act became law, and yet far too many Americans still
say their healthcare is unaffordable. AndShara, it's still called the Affordable Care
Act. So what happened to theaffordable affordable was destroyed by the Affordable Care
Act. That's Rob Hennike, executivedirector with the Texas Public Policy Foundation,

(26:03):
who says the ACA has resulted inbroken promises and a broken system. The
broken promises of Barack Obama. Ifyou like your doctor, you can keep
your doctor. It's going to lowermonthly premiums. All of that was a
lie. The Democrats knew it wasa lie at the time. But we
have to hold the left accountable.You know, its as many as two
hundred and fourteen thousand doctors have optedout of Obamacare. Jeff Biggs News Radio

(26:29):
seven forty KTRH new census numbers out. They showed it to be considered middle
class in Houston unique income between fiftyand one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year now Low Starch College economist Hanklewis not too sure about that fifty thousand
number. Fifty thousand dollars a monthunless you're either like living in some other
type of area where you're not havingto make a house payment, like you

(26:52):
already owned the home or inherited it, fifty thousand dollars is questionable. Yeah,
he thinks the FEZ are using olddata to come up with these numbers,
data that has not been adjusted forthe inflation airy times in which we
live since this bureau also says thatnine of the ten fastest growing cities in
the US are here in Texas,cities with populations over twenty thousand. Ed

(27:15):
Curtis, CEO of Why Texas,says, one of the main reasons the
Texas economy, you know, isstill basically oil based. I think what's
happening now is the fruits of laborthat's been happening over the last ten years
have really been coming to fruition,and it's kind of all coming together,
so to speak. Of the topseven cities on the list of the entire

(27:37):
country, number one is Selina andCollin County. It has grown more than
one hundred and forty three percent sincetwenty twenty with an abundance of master planned

KTRH Classic Elite, Chevy, Sugarlanddot Com, be Elite, Buy Elite

(28:26):
More with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar. This is Houston's morning news. So
Centerpoint had a rough day yesterday theirCEO, testifying at other executives testifying in
front of the State Senate as wellas the Public Utility Commission. They want
you to know that the problem withBeryl was down trees, and the problem

(28:48):
is not their trees. The problemis your trees, not their trees,
your trees, which which is tosay, they made the claim that they
have done a good job of removingtrees or cutting back trees around the power
lines that they controlled. The powerlines that are on they controlled the right

(29:10):
away, exactly right right. Theproblem is with trees that are on private
property, they say. Now,my question would be, and I'm sure
there's some truth to that, myquestion would be, what effort, if
any has center point put into talkingto homeowners about gaining access to those power
lines on private property. And Ialready know, because we saw during the

(29:34):
actual hurricane itself. There are peopleout there who will not let a utility
company or anybody else on their property, no matter what's going on property.
Yeah, they won't let them on. But there are others I'm sure who
would say, yeah, if youwould like to trim that tree so I
don't lose my power next time,please come on back and do as a
legal problems with that. You knowit's going to come from either your municipalities

(29:55):
or your your districts. And youknow you have a lot of unincorporated areas,
you know, farmers and ranchers wheretransmission lines are going through. I
don't know how that works. Yeah, you know, maybe Center Point has
the right to do that, butI know I live in West University place,
you know, and the city hasto come tell me. But then
they tell me I have to payfor it, right, which is another

(30:17):
reason why a lot of people aredoing it. If you've priced after the
storm, if you price where thecity will contract and get them to come
out, because it's the city's rightaway. It's not the utility companies.
It's the cities right away. Andif you find it's your responsibility to remove
the tree. And if you everpriced removing trees or having trees trim backs
rather significantly. And I do itevery year. It's not a cheap proposition,

(30:40):
it's not. It's expensive, veryexpensive. By forty time for traffic

(34:44):
Indeed, if the Democrats are successfulat making some of the changes they want
to pank, including a code ofconduct limits on presidential immunity that seems to
really have gotten them p owed thatthey made that ruling on presidential unity.
They probably want to pack the court, and they want to have term limits
and a whole lot more. Joinus to talk about Michelle Maple's political analyst.

(35:07):
From a practical standpoint, Michelle,you're really fighting an uphill battle trying
to make the necessary changes on theSupreme Court. If they Democrats are not
gonna be able to get this ramthrough, are they? There's no way
this is not going to happen.And so this is the reason is is
because this takes a constitutional amendment,and in order to get a constitutional amendment

(35:28):
passed, you need a super majorityby both chambers, the House and the
Senate. That's not going to happenin the House because it's a Republican majority.
And then not only do you needthe super majority from both the House
and the Senate, you need threequarters of the state legislatures to vote for
this as well. And so thisis all posturing, this is all rhetoric,

(35:49):
this is all showing President Biden's truecolors. It's also probably showing Vice
President Harris's true colors as well.But this thing is not going to happen.
Yeah, you know, and Itcertainly serves to get the news media
all rah rah rah and get peopleinspired to vote while they're busy doing other
things. I'm just reading about thisflight to Austin yesterday, you know,

(36:15):
Joe Biden air Force one and allthe people that he took with him,
Al Sharpton, I mean Clyburn.Yes, I understand this was all about
civil rights. But these are alsopeople who are ballot getters. They go
out and they count ballots. Theygot the voting thing going on, and
they're having these meetings aboard Air Forceone under the cover of going to the

(36:38):
LBJ library. That's what's happening whilevoters are not paying attention. That's right.
There's a lot of activism going onbehind the scenes. And what is
incredibly frightening is that it might beactivism about it is activism. We know
that President Biden is not afraid touse the executive Order, the Executive Office

(37:02):
to do unconstitutional actions, and soyou really kind of wonder who's in his
ear, who's talking to him,because God knows, you know, he's
asleep at the wheel. And sothis is something that is quite frightening,
and it's time for Americans to wakeup, and I think we are.
I think we are finally waking upto the disaster that this administration has been.

(37:22):
I hope you're right. Do youthink it might be just as simple
though the Supreme Court thing is justhanding another issue that they can talk about
like abortion. They don't They reallydon't have any positive things they can talk
about when it comes to energy orthe economy or any of the other things
that everyday Americans really care about.You know, that's a very good theory,

(37:42):
is that they are trying to pointto something that they could possibly get
done, even though in reality itis impossible for them to get done.
However, if we think just nottoo far in the past. In the
in the past, Netanyahu out ofIsrael tried to limit his Supreme Court.
And what did the Biden administration say? They said, oh god, he

(38:04):
is trying to take over the governmentwhere there's no text and balances. Well,
what are we doing here? Thehypocrisy is absolutely amazing. All right?
Are you finding your voice well receivedacross the country? I hope so,
Sheriff. I mean, I justwonder why people can't wake up and
listen. Well, you know,I think there's a silent majority out there.

(38:28):
And I am the forever optimist thatthe United States of America is the
best country in the world. Andone more thing is that President Biden stated
that our Supreme Court was quote unquotenot normal. And you know what,
He's right, We're not normal.We are better than everybody else, all
right, Michelle, good to hearfrom you. Thanks Michelle Maple's political Unless.

you're witnessing is the Democrat Party tryingto normalize taking away the voice and the
vote of the American people, andthey will do so soon via a virtual

(42:16):

is not how you protect the democracy. The Democrats should be appalled and ashamed

Kamala Harra's campaigning convicted Felon Bob Meninde'sresigning, So who's left back there
in the Senate the balance of power? Will it be effective between now and
November? Not likely that they're goingto be working on anything big. However,
the Senate only has to work threeweeks in September between now and Noko,

(43:00):
and so if there is going tobe any legislation, it's probably going
to be equal biighter legislation, somethingbigger. Political analyst Michelle Maple says there
will either be a Menindez replacement namedon the job, or Harris will come
back from campaigning on a private jetin order to cast a deciding vote.

(47:05):
Jimmy Barrett, News Radio seven fortykt Alright, I live in Conrad,
I live in deer Park. Nexton the ten, you're a reliable forecast
on seven forty kt R eight.Kamala Harris Presidency. It's not pretty.
You think it's bad under Biden?Jeez? So what's her claimed energy fame?
So far? She has spent eightythree million dollars for sixty electric school

(47:30):
buses. What is that about?Three hundred and seventy thousand dollars apiece?
Here is our friend E. J. Antoni. Well, along with a
little help from a guy by thename of Alex Epstein talking about Harris and
buses. Are you telling me overeighty three million dollars per school bus is

(47:52):
not a good investment. This isso emblematic, frankly, of why we
just breached thirty five trillion dollars indebt and why the Treasury today just announced
we're going to borrow another one pointthree trillion dollars before the year is out.
It's because of all the ridiculous petpop projects from this administration and all

(48:12):
of their handouts to special interests,particularly in the green energy lobby, that
have put this nation so far behind, and the result of that has been
forty year high inflation, a triplingof mortgage rates, and today's cost of
living crisis. Well, unfortunately,that eighty three million dollars per school bus
is about the best energy policy Kamalahas advocated. No, it's really important

(48:35):
because it's one thing to throw awaya bunch of money on subsidies and that's
really wrong, but it's much worseto shackle the entire American economy. And
that's what Kamala called for when shesaid she unequivocally supported a ban on fracking
that means getting rid of sixty percentof US oil seventy five percent of US
natural gas. And then she wasalso a co sponsor of the Green New
Deal, which sought to outlaw allfossil fuels and all nuclear by twenty fifty.

(48:59):
So she continues with this kind ofpolicy, she'll be by far the
most and she gets elected, she'llbe by far the most anti energy president
in American history. I'm sure thespecter of this does not excite Phil Flinney's
energy market analyst at Price Futures Group. We're going to talk to him in

this would be even worse. PhilFlynn joins US energy market analyst with Price

(53:58):
Futures Group. It's pretty much wellknown where Kamala stands on energy. She's
anti fracking, She's just generally antianything that's not electric. You there,
Phil, in the energy industry,I am here, hear me, Okay,
hello, there you go. Hey, Jimmy, good morning, good
morning. No, you're right.I mean, this is going to keep
people in the energy industry up atnight, and not only people in the

(54:22):
energy industry, but average Americans becauseher policies are so far out there,
they're so far to the left.They're so into this green New Deal where
it's really going to increase the costof energy for everybody listening to this show,
and it's going to make the economyless efficient, and it's going to

(54:44):
lead to really subdued economic growth inthis country. Sure has been a gravy
train for all those buddies I meanin the green movement, the green energy
thing, and she was the onewho cast the deciding vote, by the
way, on that budget she did. And there's spend billions and billions of
dollars that have been thrown up againstthe wall and they hope something sticks,

(55:07):
right, you know, but sofar, the inefficient ways that they've tried
to use this money, it reallyhas been the definition of government boondoggle.
Right. You know. They weresupposed to well millions and millions of electric
car chargers. I think they've builteight, right, you know. And
at the same time, they're tryingto criminalize the oil and gas industry.

(55:31):
Right, People just doing their jobs, you know, are going to get
fined, They're going to be regulatedout of business. In for Americans,
they want to take away your stove, they want to take away your lawnmower,
you know, they want to takeaway your car, and essentially they
want to control your life. Andthat's really what this Green New Deal is
all about. Yeah, she's moreBernie Sanders than anything else when it comes

(55:52):
to energy. And then at theother end of the coin, you got
Donald Trump that wants to drill baby, drill Gay. Can you think of
a time when we've had two candidatesmore polar opposites. When it comes to
energy, we really haven't. Andyou know, I mean when I look
at energy, you know, Ilook at it, you know, as
part of the economy. I lookat it as you know, stability for

(56:14):
the country. I mean, worldwars are won and lost by you know,
the party which with the ability touse energy. Let's fase it.
And you know it's so short sighted. For example, you know, Kamala
Harris says, hey, I don'twant to drill you know, offshore.
Well do you realize that drilling inthe Gulf of Mexico is the cleanest way

(56:36):
to produce oil in the world,you know, And so these do good
policies like oh, we're going tosave the planet by driving electric cars,
it really does nothing to reduce greenhousegas emissions and it just makes the planet
more dangerous. Yeah. The sadthing is too many voters grew up on
all these cartoons all day on Saturdaythat depicted dirty, dirty oil refineries and

(57:01):
oh, trying to save our planet. I mean, it's just unbelievable the
lack of knowledge of the voting public, or at least we're led to believe
they don't have this knowledge. Noyou're absolutely right. And listen, the
United States has made incredible, youknow progress, you know in producing clean

(57:22):
energy over the last thirty to fiftyyears, and we do it better and
cleaner than anyone else in the world. And this fantasy that somehow we're going
to be able to replace fossil fuelswith alternative energies in the foreseeable futures,
it's just a it's just a joke. And you know, when you actually

(57:42):
do the math, it really hurtsthe economy. Listen. You know,
I think you know, the warbetween Russia and Ukraine had an energy component
behind it. Russia knew they couldact because Europe is still dependent on them
for energy even during the Ukraine War, you know. And then if you
look at the fact that you know, other countries are trying to secure energy
supplies, like in China and India, you know from our adversaries, that

(58:07):
should be a wake up call thatif we want to stay powerful in the
world, and if we want theeconomy to do well, you know,
we really need American energy to leadthe world because we do it better than
anybody else now we do. Phil, Thanks as always, good to talk

k t RH. It is timenow for the news. Here's Sheriff Ryar.
It's six thirty two on news Radioseven forty k TRH and our top
story this hour. They're going tosay, you're afraid of debating her,
That's what they're going to say.Well, I said that with Biden too.
I did great with Biden Donald Trumpon Fox last night with Laura Ingram,

(01:01:06):
disputing claims by the Harris campaign inmainstream media that he doesn't want a
debate her. He's afraid doesn't meanthat he's willing to debate her. However,
on ABC, I don't like rewardingfake news. I don't like rewarding
the people that have been there.They're going to make tens of millions of
dollars with this debate. I don'tlike ABC. I think it's a terrible,

(01:01:30):
terrible outfit. Yep. Trump wassupposed to debate Biden on ABC on
September tenth, and Fox now invitingTrump and Harris to debate on September seventeenth.
New video shows Harris wants us tohave the courage to reject that term
illegal alien. Ktr H Sean Hannitysays it proves how radical Harris is.

(01:01:54):
There has never been a major partycandidate for president more radical than Kamala Harris.
She is to the left of AOC. She's to the left of the
squad. She's the squad on steroids. Yeah. Harris also says American should
not be using the term radical Islamicterrorism either. The Beepsteaks, as they're

(01:02:17):
called, is said to be windingdown, with North Carolina Roy Cooper now
reportedly pulling out of consideration. Theshortlist for vice president said to be narrowed
to three Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro,Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, and Arizona Senator
Mark Kelly Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer,who might have made for a two woman

(01:02:38):
ticket. Not interested, she saysPresident Biden in Texas yesterday announcing his proposal
for Supreme Court well destruction. You'regoing to hear that in reaction from Donald
Trump at seven am. It's nowsix thirty four Intelligence officials believing that Iran

(01:02:59):
wants to sabotae Trump's presidential campaign throughonline influence operations. Certainly a lot of
people are out there on tick tocktalking against Trump. Earlier this month,
Iran accused also of a plot toassassinate him, not connected to the near
assassination July thirteenth in Pennsylvania. Tensionsrising in the Middle East again, of

(01:03:22):
course, the US Embassy in Beirutnow urging Americans to leave that country before
any crisis actually erupts. But theState Department is not preparing itself for any
evacuations. We don't have any plansor an announcement as it relates to evacuation
or efforts for private US citizens fromLebanon, yes State Department spokesman Vedant Patel

(01:03:47):
there Israel has not retaliated yet forthe rocket attack of the Golan heights last
weekend, the one from Hesbola thatkilled twelve children playing on a soccer field.
Six thirty five is our time.Kamala's campaign facing an uphill climb with
the oil industry after making it anenemy for years. She's trying to backtrack

(01:04:11):
after years of being anti energy.Not only has she called for an out
and out BAM on fracking, sheis a big proponent of the Green New
Deal. Oil and gas expert PhilFlynn says she made a career of prosecuting
oil companies, and her relations withthe Saudis or another issue. Some of
the statements from Kamala Harris seems tosuggest that she is a very anti Saudia

(01:04:32):
policy and that seems to be shortsighted in a world where we need allies
in the Middle East. He says, we're heading towards an energy crisis and
she won't solve that. Andre PerardNews Radio seven forty KTRH, Well,
they gas led us all passing theAffordable Care Act in twenty ten. Too
many Americans no healthcare is unaffordable.The mandates and regulations in the Affordable Care

(01:04:59):
Act is what have been made healthcaremore expensive in the past. Fourteen years
since this terrible all went into effect. Government control of your health. Rob
Hennicky, their executive director of theTexas Public Policy Foundation. He said these
were the broken promises of Obamacare,and Americans still spend more on healthcare than

(01:05:20):
any other nation. Latest government numbersonce again showing Houston, if you want
to be middle class, you needto have an income between fifty and one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Butdo you believe those numbers? Lone Star
college economist Hank Lewis doesn't buy itone hundred fifty thousand dollars a year as

(01:05:42):
upper middle class. That does track. Somebody making that much money is going
to be clearing probably about six thousanddollars a month after paycheck. But he
told us earlier that fifty thousand uhuh is not adjusted for inflation. They're
using old data now. The CensusBureau says that nine of the ten fastest
growing cities in the United States arehere in Texas. Most are just outside

(01:06:03):
the DFW area, including Selina inCollin County. It's number one. It's
just the North Texas Moom DFW Airportbeing the juggernaut and corporate headquarters moving to
the DFW area. Now the cities, the smaller cities that are further out

(01:07:32):
media that that just this is justfrom yesterday. This is just yesterday,
all of them on the mainstream referringto either Trump Advance or Trump Advance as
weird, with some reaction at theother end from Brian Kilmead, is weird.

(01:07:54):
It's not just a weird style thathe brings. It's that this leads
to weird that is weird behavior,more extreme, more weird, more erratic.
I mean, on the other side, they're just weird. The thirty
two ounces of weird Donald Trump andis weirdo running mate and run away.
They are weird. It is bizarre, It's weird, It is weird.

(01:08:15):
Jadie Vance just dumb. Vance ispretty weird. The whole democracy is at
stake was not working, but sayingthat Donald Trump and he's going to overthrow
democracy wasn't working. Though, tryingto put him in jail at Lawfair wasn't
working. So now they say,these are the candidates we've got to deal
with. We got the team together, so let's make them weird. And
I thought that Donald Trump Junior putout a couple of videos. I'll give

(01:08:36):
you weird Kamala Harris giving her pronounsbefore a big speech to Chris CMO before
a major thing, and to talkabout some of her stances. When it
comes to AOC saying that we shouldstart taxing people eighty percent, she's like,

of thing that's a little non traditional. And I think my cold be but
weird. That will make some morerelatable. Really, Okay, do you
think you're weird? Shriff? Oh, I've always been really okay, think
for myself. Yeah, well Idon't think that's weird. I think that's

(01:14:10):
ten on seven forty Ktright. Lastnight, on Laura Ingram's program on Fox,
President Trump gave a brother lengthy interviewon a whole variety of different topics,
including the claim that he had saidthat they only need one more election.
You only have to vote for meone more time. The lat wants
to make it sound like he's goingto do away with voting. Here he

(01:14:32):
talks to Laura about what he reallymeant with respect to like a statement like
I made. That statement is verysimple. I said, vote for me.
You're not going to have to doit ever again, It's true because
we have to get the vote out. Christians are not known as a big
voting group. They don't vote.And I'm explaining that to him. You
never vote. This time vote,I'll straighten out the country. You won't

(01:14:57):
have to vote anymore. I won'tneed you vote. You can go back
the You don't have to vote foryou because you have four years and off.
Look, look is that Christians areknown you know who, well sayesn't
vote, gun owners don't vote.But just to be clear what you're saying,
though you're not saying, it's beinginterpreted as you are not surprised to
hear no on the left as well. They're never going to have another election.
He says, he's the first time. Can you even just responded?

(01:15:20):
I said, Christians. I startedup by saying, just so you understand,
you never vote. Christians do notvote. Well, they voted in
very small percentages. Why. Idon't know. Maybe they're disappointed in things
that are happening. But for along time I say you don't vote,
I'm saying, go out, youmust vote. November fifth is going to

(01:15:42):
be the most important election in thehistory of our country, whether you vote
earlier or not. We should have, by the way, one day voting.
We should have voter ID, weshould have proof of citizenship, and
we should have paper ballots. Okay, that's why we should. But we
don't have that. But I saidto the Christians in the room, thousands
of them, I said, typicallyChristians do not vote. Why it is,
I don't know your rebetti is something'sgoing on. Don't worry about the

(01:16:06):
future. Vote on. You haveto vote on November fifth. After that,
you don't have to worry about votinganymore. I don't care, because
we're going to fix it. Thecountry will be fixed, and we won't
even need you vote anymore because,frankly, we will have such love.
If you don't want to vote anymore, that's okay, well not okay really,
but you really should vote, firThat's what he was saying exactly.

(01:16:29):
I listened to that entire speech.I was just kind of transfixed yesterday when
all I already kept on it.It fis fix the fix, Yeah right,
yeah, No, he's just talkingabout, you know, low voter
turnout, about certain groups Christians gunThis shocks me. The gun owners would
would be one of the load turnon groups. But hey, if you're
not somebody who traditionally votes and you'reworried about the future of this country,
get out and vote. If votersjust want to be left alone, they

(01:16:51):
don't get caught up in all this. They will follow all the politics and
they think, well, you know, as long as i'm as things are
running okay. But things are runningokay, So you've got to turn on
boats so we can get things runningokay again. Then you can go ahead
and ignored. They're waking up toit. Maybe all right, let's give

It's time now for the news.Here's Sheriff Ryer. Good morning. Everyone

(01:20:20):
is now seven two on news radioseven forty ktr ration and our top story
this hour. If I resign today, we lose momentum on the things that
are going to have the best possibleimpact for the greater Houston region. That's
the center point. CEO Jason Wells, he said he was not going to
resign during a Senate committee hearing onthe response to Hurricane Beryl. This was

(01:20:44):
yesterday. Centerpoint got most of theattention in all of this in the aftermath,
but the Houston Mayor, John Whitmeyer, very honestly told the committee,
Hey, look, there is alot of responsibility on this city too,
here in Houston, and they mustdo to improve. We discovered during the
storm ten fire stations did not havebackup power. George Brown Convention Center was

(01:21:05):
without a backup system. We haveto get generation and backup power at every
essential city service. Yeah. Whitmeieralso did call on Center Point, however,
to invest in concrete power polls,saying that while that's expensive, he
says, well, they have themoney. Centerpoint's going to be asking the

(01:21:26):
PUC for a rate increase as aresult of Beryl. The death toll in
the Houston area from the storm atthirty eight, at least fourteen of them
attributed to the heat and the longterm power outages. Seven oh four is
our time. Kama La Harris hasyet to receive a single vote in her
run for president, but Democrats aremoving forward with a plan to nominate her

(01:21:47):
before the convention. This is supposedto be a constitutional publicishment. The people
decide, they decide who they votefor. They decide who they nominate,
and Kamala was not one of thosepeople. She was not nominated, She
was not selected. She was handpickedby the DNP to circumvent the will of
the people. Political strategist Raven Harrisoncalling it a coupe that the Democrats have

(01:22:09):
pulled. They're holding a virtual rolecall this week to officially nominate Harris.
No, the voters had no say. Harris campaigning and the resignation of New
Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez after hisconviction on corruption charges. Will it impact
Senate votes between now and the endof the year or maybe not. The

(01:22:33):
Democrats will still be able to makea vote happen if they want to.
Political analyst Michelle Maple says, oneway or another, the Democrats will get
what they want. I think therewill be a replacement, however, for
whatever reason, if there's not,iind Kamala Harris could probably find a private
jet to hit you right on tocome vote if and when there is a

(01:22:54):
tie. We considering the Senate isworking just seventeen days between now and November,
they probably won't do my anyway.Cliff Saunders, News Radio seven forty
KTRH it's now seven oh five.There's an extreme movement and agenda. By
the way, they're serious, man, they're planning another onslaught attacking civil rights
in America. President Biden referring acourse to Donald Trump and Republicans and the

(01:23:18):
Supreme Court in Austin yesterday while heannounces his radical proposal to basically remake the
entire court term limits for justices,packing the code. It's a code of
conduct. They want to impart onthe conservatives on the Court. And also
they want to go back and revisitwhat presidential immunity means. Something Donald Trump

(01:23:43):
promises, Hey, it's not goingto happen if I'm president. It doesn't
happen. We keep it the wayit is. And that's it's been working
very well for a long period oftime. I mean, basically, they
want to create another Congress. Theywant to have so many people, let's
just go to another Congress. Yeah, they want to have Congress. It
doesn't have to be elected. That'swhat they're working on. Trump was on
Fox with Laura Ingram. He's agreedto be interviewed by the FBI as part

(01:24:06):
of the overall DHS investigation into theJuly thirteenth attack and attempted assassination in Pennsylvania.
He's also pledging, however, togo back to Butler for another rally,
completing what he had started. Don'tknow what the location for that would
be. House Speaker Mike Johnson hasnamed Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Kelly chair of the

(01:24:28):
committee that investigates the attempt by Congressand the Congressional investigation of the attempt on
Trump's life. Texas Senator Ted Cruzsays, look, the White House bears
responsibility for this attack. I believethis administration puts partisan politics above doing their
jobs and protecting the American people,and I think that is why they did

(01:24:50):
not assign adequate protection to protect DonaldTrump. CRU's on with k t R
H Sean Hannity seven oh seven isa time partner Channel two reporting the mayor
Whitmeyer is on the verge of namingKatie police chief. No ideas as Troy

the Astros have acquired the pitcher yoseKikuchi for three prospects that they gave up

(01:26:00):
Joey Lo Braffito, Jake Bloss andWill Wagner, the son of Astro's legend
Billy Wagner. Yeah, a lotof the young talent for a guy who's
kind of a mediocre starter. Well, maybe they think they can whip him
into something, let's hope. Sowhy is it always with the pitching?
We have these issues to many hurtpitchers. I guess I'm Sheriff Rar.
They get too old. News Radioseven forty KGr ninety nine one HT two.

(01:26:25):
It's US Radio seven forty KGRH onFM Houston's News, Weather, Traffic
and Talk at ninety nine one HTtwo. He was they had a rough
day yesterday their CEO talking to thePublic Utility Commission and the State Senate and
State Senator Paul Bettencourt got a littleriled up. In fact, he had
to be bleeped. Never heard thatbefore. So here he is questioning the

(01:26:49):
CEO of Center Point and some ofthe responses from Center Point about where the
problems are and where they hope tomake the fixes. Let's go over the
power tracker decision, because this isonly the single, quite frankly, most
double decision I've ever seen a majorcorporation make in your business, which is
you have a power tracker, itgoes down, and then what's the decision

(01:27:15):
making process at that point. It'sinexcusable that I wasn't ready for our customers
who are in Hurricane Barrel. WhenDracho impacted the Greater Houston area, we
noticed about a sixteenfold increase in websitetraffic that overwhelmed the system that we had
hosted on our internal servers. Whatwe've outlined here is an ambitious set of

(01:27:36):
forty actions to immediately improve resiliency,our communications, and our partnerships this hurricane
season. I think if I resignedtoday, we lose momentum of the things
that are going to have the bestpossible impact for the greater Houston region.
Yeah, you know we should pointout, you know, all these calls

(01:27:57):
for him to resign. Jason Wellswas just pointed CEO January fifth of this
year. Okay, that's how longhe's been at the HELM. And I
don't think that he had been working. I think he'd come in from somewhere.
I haven't really researched that back,but this was part of the leadership
succession and he took over. Soyou know, I understand they'll have they'll

(01:32:25):
twenty one on news radio seven fortyKTRH. The acting Secret Service Director,
will testify for the Senate today aboutthe July thirteenth near assassination of Donald Trump.
Facebook admits a mistake in censoring theTrump assassination attempt photo. Yeah,
that iconic photo. They censored it. They wouldn't show it. A proposed

(01:32:48):

know latest news anytime kjurh dot com. Our next update will be at the
bottom of the hour. The lazydays of summer not around here. A

(01:33:11):
lot can happen, Bob, thissomething crazy on news radio seven KTRH.
Caroline Sunshine is deputy director of Communicationswith the Trump campaign. She joins us,
now, I want to ask youabout the weird thing first, because
it's weird the mainstream media estate whatmainstream media stay all using the term weird
to describe the Trump vance ticket inparticular, jdvents. What do you make

(01:33:34):
of that? Oh? Yeah,no, you're right. The people that
can't tell you what a woman is, the people that think men or women
and women are men the people thatwalk around like drag queens at the Olympics.
Yeah, no, you're right,we're the weird ones, right,
Yeah, got it. But youknow, it's funny. It's interesting because
you know, politics is downstream ofculture, and I think for the things

(01:33:58):
that the MAGA movement stands, likestanding for our flag, or loving your
family, or a kneeling for yourGod, or loving the military, or
wanting to be pro family and secureour border to people who want to give
free flights and free housing to illegalimmigrants, or who would rather ship all
of our money to Ukraine and flythat flag instead of ours, or like

(01:34:20):
I said, can't tell you whata woman is and think that men should
compete in women's sports. I'm surewe do look pretty weird. But it's
like it always happens with the liberalmainstream media. It's always you know,
in psychology one oh one, theyteach you about projecting, right, Like,
whatever somebody has going on in theirmind, they'll project it onto somebody
else. This is what the liberalmainstream media does all the time. But

(01:34:44):
like I said, if standing foryour flag and loving your family and wanting
a secure border and wanting to createa more prosperous nation where moms can afford
baby formula, and people can affordthe American dream and have children, and
we get to have an economy workingfor us again in the secure border.
Then yeah, we're really really weird. Kamala Harris is going around saying we're
not going to go back to theold way. Well, I get that,

(01:35:06):
but culture, that culture change beganin the sixties with the rebellious and
now they're old baby boomers, we'reall old. So the new culture of
America, what will the new culturebe? It's not going to be what
we're having to live through right now, will it. Yeah, that's a

(01:35:26):
really great question. That's a hopefulquestion too. It's interesting you mentioned the
sixties a lot of the times.I think the problems with a certain segment
of liberals is that they actually talksixties, but they live fifties. They're
really hypocritical. They don't practice alot of what they preach. They'll tell
you that you need to have awide open border, but they live in
a gated community. They'll tell youthat we need to have endless amounts of

(01:35:50):
spending. It's going to create moreinflation that we need to have a welfare
state, that we need to payfor a legal immigrants health care. But
you know they're not the ones strugglingto afford a house like a lot of
our young people are because the interestrates are so high. So a lot
of it is talk sixties live fifties. But it's a great, hopeful question,
and it's one that I think PresidentTrump answers every day, especially when

(01:36:12):
he's out on the campaign trail.And why you see him going to places
like let's say Minnesota for example,where you don't maybe necessarily see traditional Republicans
go. Certainly you're not going tosee Kamala Harris go to Alabama anytime soon,
right, But that's because, likeyou said, it's the question of
what kind of culture we're going tocreate. This family or this country was
founded on some bedrock principles that arefashionable in every era, and when we

(01:36:34):
talk about making America great again,it's a return to those principles of fates,
of family, of freedom, puttingfamily first. We love our families.
American families right now are struggling rightcreating a culture that protects our families,
protects parental rights and parents to makedecisions about what their kids learn in

(01:36:57):
schools and how to right to freedomof expression, and then of course security,
which is mentioned in the preamble ofthe Constitution. Is that who don't
have border, we don't have anation. Right now, we're a lawless
nation. We don't even respect ourown laws. We have a culture of
lawlessness where people like Kamala Harris thinkit's fashionable and in vogue to bail out
rioters who tear down our statues thatcelebrate our country's history. No matter what

(01:37:23):
the liberal mainstream media tries to tellyou that this country was founded by a
bunch of old, racist white men, absolutely not true. That belief might
be in vogue in San Francisco,but out here and the rest of America
and the flyover states, we're proudof our history. We're proud to be
a nation of heroes, proud tobe a nation of people who settled the

(01:37:43):
frontier, people who have made tremendoussacrifices for their family, people who got
overseas to liberate a content from thenazis. So the restoring a culture that's
proud of our history rather than detigratesit, a culture of law and order
rather than lawlessness and a culture thatpluks family first rather than denigrates it is
weird, all right. Well,I wish we had more time, more

(01:38:04):
questions than time as usual. Butthanks for joining us, Caroline, appreciate
it. Caroline Sunshine. By theway, I look up her middle name.

now for the news. Here's SheriffRyer seven thirty two is our time,

(01:40:45):
our top story. If you believeVice President Kamala Harris and mainstream media,
Donald Trump is afraid to debate her. Trump says, well, just look
what happened with the CNN debate backin June. For me, everything that
I couldn't accept and I accepted it. I accepted everything, and we had
a debate. It was a greatdebate. Trump says he'll probably debate Harris

(01:41:11):
Trump on with Fox's Laura Ingram.Despite all the leftist narrative Harris is a
failed border czar, and Governor GregAbbess says she better answer for the recent
death of a Texas officer. Therewas a police officer in San Antonio,
Texas who was shot by gunn byan illegal immigrant allowed in and allowed to

(01:41:31):
remain in the United States of America. Abbott challenging Harris to support Senator Ted
Cruz's Justice for Joscelyn Acting Congress Whenshe comes back to Texas on Thursday.
By the way, she's going tobe attending services for the late Congresswoman Sheila
Jackson Lee. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmersays Harris could announce her running mate within
the next week. One of thereported contenders, though North Carolina Governor Roy

(01:41:56):
Cooper reportedly has withdrawn from consideration.While the mainstream media gush is over Harris,
there's a warning from the rnc COchair Lara Trump that Harris would be
worse for this country than even JoeBiden was. We have to remind people
what is at stake if this womanbecomes president of the United States. We

(01:42:16):
have to remind people that we actuallyhave a candidate who has been proven to
do great things for this country.His name is Donald Trump. Lara Trump
with kg rhis Sean Hannity is nowseven thirty four. American intelligence says Iran
is trying to sabotage the former PresidentTrump's campaign with online influence operations they're paying

(01:42:38):
influencers. Earlier this month, Iranalso accused of another plot, a separate
plot to assassinate Trump separate from theJuly thirteenth attack in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Tensions rising between Israel and hesbela USembassy and Berut urging Americans to leave that
country before any crisis takes hold.Should commercial air and not be available,

considering retaliation by the way against theIranian back terror group Hezbola after their rocket

(01:43:23):
attack from Lebanon into the Golan Heightsthat killed twelve children at a soccer field.
It's now seven thirty five years ofdemonizing the oil industry. That's what
you've gotten from Kamala Harris now tryingto walk back her anti fossil fuel record.
Foxes Phil Flynn joined Houston Morning Newsas her history of radical green agenda

(01:43:47):
is what is the most dangerous toall of us When you want to force
the American people to stop using fossilfuels, force them to drive electric cars,
force them to use electric stoves andget rid of their gas stoves.
When you get those kind of policiesin place, it always leads to higher
prices, ye have non total devastation. He says, We're going to have

(01:44:09):
an energy crisis unless something is fixed, and Harris is not that solution.
It's been fourteen years since the socalled Affordable Care Act became law, yet
bar too many Americans still say thathealthcare is unaffordable, and Shara has still
called the Affordable Care Act. Sowhat happened to the affordable affordable was destroyed

(01:44:31):
by the Affordable Care Act. That'sRob Hennike, the executive director with the
Texas Public Policy Foundation, who saysthe ACA has resulted in broken promises and
a broken system, the broken promisesof Barack Obama. If you like your
doctor, you can keep your doctor. It's going to lower monthly premiums.
All of that was a lie.The Democrats knew it was a lie at

(01:44:54):
the time, But we have tohold the left accountable. He knows as
many as two hundred and fourteen onethousand doctors have opted out of Obamacare.
Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven fortyktr H. How's the economy working for
you? New census numbers show thatto be considered middle class in Houston,
you need income between fifty and onehundred and fifty thousand dollars a year.

(01:45:16):
But lot start college economists Hank Lewisisn't so sure about that low end of
the range fifty thousand dollars a month. Unless you're ear like living in some
other type of area where you're nothaving to make a house payment, like
you already owned the home or inheritedit, fifty thousand dollars is questionable.
Lewis believes the Feds, well,they're fuliness again, they're using old data

(01:45:38):
in order to come up with thesenumbers. Fifty thousand doesn't go where it
did just three years ago. Datahas not been adjusted for inflation. Yeah,

(01:46:24):
Sheriff Fryar to seeing all the memesright the twenty forty four Olympics, brought
to you by Satan. Well,it's the whole Last Supper parody thing,
the mockery they caused all that tohappen. Let's get a British perspective.
Nigel Ferridge had a few things tosay about He got asked about why in
the world they would do the OlympicCommittee would do something like that. Well,

(01:46:48):
they weren't going to mock the prophet, were they. They weren't going
to mock anything to do with theMuslim religion. It's true, isn't it.
I mean, look, the intellectualand political class in France are filled
with self loathing about the Western worldand its values. So drag queens,

(01:47:08):
a mockery of the Last Supper sumsup the modern day elites in Paris.
Look, I don't believe any religionis above mockery, above cartooning, above
lampooning. But if that's the showcasefor France with this big global event,
it's a very very sad, verypoor reflection and it tells you why Marine

(01:47:31):
Le Penn will be president in twoyears time. Well that remains to be
seen, of course, but Ithink that pretty much sums it up.
It's the globalist elitist who you know, don't believe in religion, who don't
believe in you know, Christianity orJudaism or any other religion. As far
as that goes show, we justsay Marxist. And then you know,

(01:47:59):
quite a bit of the population ofFrance, because of their colonialism, has
come from North African countries that areMuslim. So that's the local population not
necessarily supportive of Christianity, no,of course, not nor Judaism. Right,
so there you have it. Yep, change change demographics seven time for

Our fifty nine inbound at the loopis always a problem KTRH time saving traffic
connect on the ten by how manyadditional justices? Not exactly sure. He
just wants to effectively neuter the conservativejustices that are on the Supreme Court now,

(01:52:50):
so he probably need to take itup to at least nine, right,
Yeah, and give themselves two fordistrict at Columbia. They want that,
and they also want Puerto Rico tobe four Democrats, right there there
you go. They ad to Congressin Congress, right, So he also
wants he wants the Congress to passthe law that would strike down presidential immunity,

(01:53:12):
even though he would be linhich isthe Supreme Court's interpretation of the US
Constitution, right? And who benefitsthe most for presidential immunity right now?
If Joe Biden, I mean yousure, I'd be careful for what you
wish for. Right. Anyway,President Trump got asked about all the things
that Biden would like to do theSupreme Court. Here he is with lor
Ingram. It's going nowhere. Theyneed seventy five percent, and it's going

(01:53:34):
nowhere. He can't get it.He knows that too. It's just I
think, look, is it augedclue against the President of the United States.
They went in, they told him, you're leaving your way down in
the poll seventeen points. I think, you know, it's like you're in
a fight with somebody and you're reallywinning. And they take him out and
they put somebody else in. Nobodyever heard of this before. This is

(01:53:56):
a coup. They took him.They said, even though you got fourteen
million votes here out And he saidI'm not going out. Well, you're
saying that's what they're kind of doingwith the court as well. No,
what they're doing is they're keeping Theytook him out. He was losing badly.
They took him out. He wantssomething to say. He's sitting there
with nothing to do, nobody totalk to. They threw him out.
This was a coup. The firstone of the President of the United States.

(01:54:20):
Harris endorsed this. So they shouldyou leave proposal? She endorsed this
them. Oh she did. She'sa radical, love hers. This is
going to have some change justice justice. Well, they're also the one thing
he didn't say, they want topack the court, but they really want
to do more than any of itis packed the court. They want to
put in so I've heard as manyas twenty seven. They've gotten up to
twenty. That's not in this proposal. But this is a response to their

(01:54:41):
losing and a number of high profilecases. I mean, not every case
has gone your way or Republicans waste. Did Republicans ever put forward a series
of these types of radical proposals,I don't recall they have intended to and
we've been behind also, we've beenbehind injustices and they don't do this.
Actually FDI did it along time timeago, which was interesting, but it
hasn't really happened like this. It'snever going to happen. I'll tell you

(01:55:04):
if if I'm president, it doesn'thappen. We keep it the way it
is. And that's it's been workingvery well for a long period of time.
I mean, basically, they wantto create another Congress. They won't
have so many people. Let's justgo to another congress. Yeah, that
we get to a point, uhhuh, not elect a point, they
take over it. They will appointye if they get the presidency, and

(01:55:27):
then the Senate. If they havethe Senate, the Senate will appear proved,
and then there you have. Yeah, then that's all. Have their
own Congress, it's appointed. Yep. They'll have their own executive branch.
They'll have Congress, they'll have theSupreme Court, and then they can do
whatever they want. That's called tyrannyexactly what that is. All Right,
Well, there you go. Likeyou said, I don't see that as
a viable option. But as Imentioned earlier this morning, I think it's

(01:55:50):
more than just Joe Biden being bored. You know, twiddling his thumbs in
the Oval office with nothing to do. I don't think he's had original thoughts
since he took over the presidency.Everything he's done has been at the whim
of others who are actually running thegovernment. And I think this is an
issue they want to continue to bringup if we're no other reason. So

(01:56:10):
they can add this to abortion.They give them two different things. They
can talk about the Supreme Court anabortion. Because they don't have anything on
the economy, then they don't haveany other issue they can own. They
don't have anything on the border.They don't want to talk about the border
or the economy. They've got nothing, so they have to come up with
these other issues to try to deflectaway. Well, the question is do
voters vote on issues or do theyvote on emotion? Well, a little

(01:56:34):
bit of both. I like tovote on issues myself. Listen, y'all
have a great day. We'll seetomorrow morning, bright and early five am.
I'll see the staff from at fouron AM nine fifty KPRC
