Speaker 6 (01:28):
Good morning everyone.

Speaker 7 (01:29):
It's down five oh one on news radio seven forty KTRH.
Our top story this hour, Hurricane friend Seeing When's ninety
miles an hour expected to make landfall near Morgan City,
Louisiana later today. President Joe Biden has declared a federal
emergency at the Governor's request. Impacts in Southeast Texas from
this system are minimal, but Governor Greg Abbott here put

(01:50):
Centerpoint Energy on the spot.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Centerpoint knows that it is under a microscope.

Speaker 7 (01:57):
Centerpoints New Outage tracker is live running, no issues being reported.
Also topping our news this morning, I had a good time.

Speaker 8 (02:05):
I think it was our best debate ever.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I thought it was really good.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
Donald Trump with ktr H is Sean Hannity After last
night's debate with Kamala Harris. You heard it here live
on KTRH and debate, Trump says was stacked against him.
Harris with the two moderators of three on one.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Are you now acknowledging that you lost? In dingy acknowledged?

Speaker 9 (02:26):
Editor?

Speaker 7 (02:26):
I say that sarcastically, Yeah, he did, Trump pushing back
on ABC's David Muir, who ignored many of the Biden
Harris' failures, including inflation, allowing Harris to play both sides
of the middle on most issues, including the war between
Israel and Homas.

Speaker 10 (02:43):
There must be security for the Israeli people and Israel
and an equal measure for the Palestinians m H.

Speaker 7 (02:51):
Harris pushing for another debate next month now, Trump says
it's because Harris lost. We have more highlights or low lights,
whichever you prefer. From last night at KTRH dot com.
Trump was far from being the only one who noticed
ABC's anti Trump bias.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
As far as I saw them in fact check Vice
President Harris a single time.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
The party that I grew up in doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Yeah, Robert F.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
Kennedy Junior, there he was in the spin room on Fox.
He noted that, as he said, they never once fact
checked Kamala Harris RFK supporting Trump. The Democrats aren't done
trying to use that Kennedy name on the ballot, though
to their advantage.

Speaker 11 (03:33):
Sure, the Dems are fighting to keep RFK Junior on
the ballot in Wisconsin and other key states.

Speaker 12 (03:40):
The so called protectors of democracy are doing everything they
can to keep RFK Junior on the ballot when he
doesn't want to be on the ballot.

Speaker 11 (03:52):
That is Senior Elections correspondent with the Federalist Matt Kittle,
RFK Junior will remain in the ballot in Michigan and
with the appeals Court hearing the case in Wisconsin, they.

Speaker 12 (04:03):
Believe in polling suggests that that would help Tamala Harris
and it would hurt Donald Trump.

Speaker 11 (04:10):
RFK Junior was able to get off the ballot in
North Carolina. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty Kati or H.

Speaker 7 (04:18):
New Polling from the liberal Pew Research Center shows the
race nationally is a dead he with trumpet Harris each
having about forty nine percent support. Two percent said they
wouldn't vote for either candidate or they would select other
on the ballot. Former First Lady Milania Trump. Meantime, she's
raising the issue, demanding some answers about the July thirteenth

(04:39):
attempted assassination of her husband at that Pennsylvania rally.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
There is definitely more to this story and we need
to uncover the truth.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Mlania posting the video to X yesterday five oh five
is our time. Thirteen American service members who were killed
in the Botch twenty twenty one Afghanistan withdrawal were honored
with the Congressional Gold Medal ceremony yesterday.

Speaker 13 (05:04):
There were descendants of veterans, volunteers in the sheriff's departments.
There were hockey fans, boy scouts, and future electricians.

Speaker 7 (05:16):
It came there, as you hear House Speaker Mike Johnson.
A new Congressional report on Afghanistan has concluded that the
Biden Harris administration actually put those Americans at risk and
cost them their lives. Today marks twenty three years since
three thousand people were killed in the nine to eleven
attacks on New York City, Washington, d C. And the

(05:36):
Flight ninety three crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Terrorism expert doctor
Jeff Attica at Saint Mary's School of Law, says Biden Harris,
open border policies are why he's worried about now and
future attacks.

Speaker 14 (05:52):
There have been several arrests of plots of individuals that
wanted to conduct acts of terror that have come across
the border, and it's typically a matter of time. We
don't know exactly when the next strike will be, but
there will be a next strike.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
Yeah, we've told you about the count. The number of
those on the terror watch lists that have been caught
at the border since twenty twenty one are in the thousands.
And those are just the ones that they tell us
about or we even know about. And there's this armed
Venezuelan gang members are now stealing oil, copper wire diesel

(06:26):
fuel from oil fields in West Texas. According to a
memo issue to employees to be careful. Those gang members
also using vehicles to run workers and witnesses off the
road as they commit these crimes. And then overnight more
news of a hotel in Elpaso that's been totally overrun
and now controlled by that Venezuelan gang. Democrats tell us

(06:47):
not to worry about the cost to all of us
of illegal immigration.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
What is that cost.

Speaker 15 (06:53):
Turns out, illegal immigrants cost way more than they pay
back in taxes.

Speaker 16 (06:57):
Illegal aliens pay about ninety six billion in taxes. They
cost at least one hundred and fifty billion in support
and services.

Speaker 15 (07:07):
The American thinkers Andrea Whitburg tells KTRH this is having
very obvious consequences throughout America.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Crime has increased, hunger has increased.

Speaker 16 (07:15):
We're getting insta poverty because of the huge pressure of
illegal aliens on poor community.

Speaker 15 (07:20):
Widburg says the costs of the border crisis will likely
force the government to print more money, leading to even
more inflation. Ethan Buchinnan News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
The August inflation report due at seven thirty hour time
this morning. It's a key factor in the Fed decision
next week on interest rates. A cut of one quarter
point has been anticipated. It's five oh seven now. The
Astros lose their series opener to Oakland four to three.
It continues to deny pregame at six on Sports Talk
seven ninety the first pitch at seven ten. You'll hear

(07:52):
on seven ninety and we will join here on KTRH.
Stros remain four and a half games ahead. Of the
mariners in the Al West because they lost to the
Padres yesterday seven to three. I'm sure we fryar on
news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 17 (08:06):
The hottest happening right now, The hottest news happens right here.
Stay alert can be prepared on news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
It hauls a whole bunch of stuff for the USPS,
so don't be surprised if your package is coming from
the United States Postal Service or whatever else may be
coming through them ends up sitting on a dock somewhere
for a while. The company is called MTI. They're headquartered
in Robinson, Illinois. Midwest Transportation more than six hundred and

(08:43):
fifty employees, including four hundred eighty drivers, found out unexpectedly
at the end of last week that they're shutting down operations.
They're shut right on spot. We're done closing up shop.
Don't know if USPS got any warning ahead of time,
if there's a to stop sitting at MTA waiting to
be delivered, or if anybody else is going to deliver

(09:04):
it for them. But it's a problem because the United
States Postal Service. Yeah, because the United States Postal Service
here's something that we need to realize and something we
should look at as we talk about whether or not
we should continue to have a United States Postal Service,
which is how much of what they do now is
being subcontracted to other people? I mean, how much do

(09:26):
they really do? I mean, is USPS still how many
drivers are they employing? How you know, where are they
using subcontractors? What are the sub contractors costing an addition
to what we have to pay for the United States
Postal Service? Because my sneaking suspicion is maybe this is
a good time to take a look at all that.
Not that anybody will. I wouldn't trust government to do

(09:47):
anything about it. But you know, again, this is not
going to lead to good efficiencies or you getting your
packages in any swift order. Here five to ten, Time
for traffic and whether together, yes I might we.

Speaker 4 (10:00):

(10:21):
and we're looking at twenty six minutes from.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
The Brass River in Now.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Remember they've done the lane shift outbound over the Brass
River Bridge. It really starts from University, but it's easier
to remember that this is going to be a lifestyle
for the outbound lanes and then they'll switch it around,
just like the skating rink can go the other way.
Tip line seven one three two one two t ips
Robert from Crosby.

Speaker 18 (10:44):
When do you think they'll be done with a road work?

Speaker 19 (10:47):
That are not doing a belt we eight toll road eight.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
You know I'm going to cut them some slack because
you know I have there's no Layton Radio, there's no
late in my wedding business. But uh, you know if
they mess up, somebody could get hurt.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Say yeah, I'll cut them some slack.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
They think it's going to be the rest of this
month when they get that extra laneage back. And oh, Terry,
look at that radar. That is a real Willie book
to render us. I'm in the Generator Supercenter dot Com
traffic center.

Yeah.

Speaker 21 (11:27):
Not looking too good there in Louisiana.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
And Uh.

Speaker 21 (11:32):
Francine rapidly intensified overnight up to a ninety mile an
hour hurricane now almost a Category two hurricane, which it
likely will turn into before it makes landfall, with winds
up around one hundred miles an hour possible once it
moves on shore.

Speaker 19 (11:47):
Though.

Speaker 21 (11:47):
It is going to rapidly weekend and just keep moving north.
So Louisiana today and tomorrow it's into Mississippi, big rainmaker

No, I had it on my arm, on my wrist
actually last night watching it was too hot, and so
once again I did the infamous the hell with this?
I mean, I just I had to turn it off.
I mean I was so angry, and I thought, why,
you know, it's not it's a football game.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
The reason, the reason why I ask is that we
have a lot of debate highlights this morning that we're
going to be playing. Oh well it sound me up now,
and I want to and I want to know if
I'm going to we're going to need to monitor your
medical condition throughout the course of the program today.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
No, it was the moderator. It was, in fact, the
way the whole taker was played in.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
We'll hear precious little of those awful ABC moderators. Not
to worry about that little debate coverage coming away.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Both ways Baytown to Laport were in great shape.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Toll Bridge, you.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Know, I talked to the toll people and ask them
about you know how much longer and what exactly, but
they'd be like.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Sir, I can't give you that information this time. You
have talked about PM.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
So southbound, we still have just that one lane at
at least another three weeks southbound. The Sherman Bridge looks
awesome for now, both ways, both plants. Two twenty five.
I'm Skymike on a Generator supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Trump got accused of wanting a national sales tax, so
he'll answer that question coming up next first though, our

Speaker 6 (15:51):
Our next update will be at the bottom of the hour.
I live in Southeast Houston.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Your forecast is at the bottom of the hour. Rh
income tax for national sales tax. But Donald Trump is
not proposing a national sales tax, although he was accused
of that last night by Kamala Harris during the debate.
Here's a little bit about how that went.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
President Trump will get you two minutes.

Speaker 8 (16:15):
First of all, I have no sales tax. That's an
incorrect stape. And she knows that we're doing tariffs on
other countries. Other countries are going to finally, after seventy
five years, pay us back for all that we've done
for the world, and the tariff will be substantial in
some cases. I took in billions and billions of dollars,
as you know, from China. In fact, they never took

(16:36):
the tariff off because there was so much money.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
They can't.

Speaker 8 (16:39):
They would totally destroy everything that they've set out to do.
They're taken in billions of dollars from China and other places.
They've left the tariffs on. When I had it, I
had tariffs, and yet I had no inflation.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Look, we've had.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
A terrible economy because inflation has which is really known
as a country mustard breaks up countries. We have inflation
like very few people ever seen before, probably the worst
in our nation's history. We were at twenty one percent,
but that's being generous because many things are fifty, sixty,
seventy and eighty percent higher than they were just a
few years ago. This has been a disaster for people,

(17:14):
for the middle class, but for every class. On top
of that, we have millions of people pouring into our
country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums,
and they're coming in and they're taking jobs that are
occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics and also unions.
Unions are going to be affected very soon. And you

(17:36):
see what's happening. You see what's happening with towns throughout
the United States. You look at Springfield, Ohio, you look
at Aurora in Colorado. They are taking over the towns,
they're taking over buildings, they're going in violently.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
These are the people that she.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
And Biden led into our country, and they're destroying our country.
They're dangerous, They're at the highest level of criminality, and
we have to get them out. We have to get
them out fast. I created one of the greatest economies
in the history of our country.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I'll do it again and even better.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
That's one area that she managed to avoid answering any
real questions on with the economy. And of course you
got a lot of help from those ABC News moderators
in order to avoid those questions. Five twenty six. Now
Here on Houston's Morning News. Time to take a look
at your money. Joan Donnigher is here.

Speaker 22 (18:24):
Jimmy Kin Digital ordering station singing you deserve a break today.

Speaker 6 (18:28):
Warm your heart.

Speaker 22 (18:28):
When you walk into McDonald's, well, you may be seeing
more and more of that minus the singing. Of course,
McDonald's is rolling out ordering stations that'll be able to
take cash and give chains. It's a change so most
of us can bypass the register now. Human workers are
not going away, but these stations would allow people now
working as cashiers to be moved to other tasks, things
like table service or curbside pickup. Starbucks meantime, going with

(18:52):
the human vibe, the company's brand new CEO wants to
make Starbucks inviting places to linger, with a clear distinction
between sip in and to go service. He says recent
visits told him the chain is drifted from its core,
the cafe vibe. Some nail biting this morning on Wall Street.
Investors are waiting for the August inflation report to give
them a sense of just how big an interest rate

(19:13):
cut the Federal Reserve might be able to make. Economists
surveyed by Bloomberg have said they expect in August inflation
to be down to two and a half percent. S
and P futures are down eighteen, Nasdaq futures seventy, Dow
futures down one hundred and sixty four points. I'm Joan Donagher,

Kamala a mega hat and coming up at five thirty eight,
do investors really? Did they really buy forty four percent
of all US homes last year? Details in the minutes ahead.

shower of undershower chants with the item you're right about
eighty two. We'll get you the complete forecast. We'll talk
to Terry Smith at the Weather Channel in eight minutes.
Right now seventy six at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty k TRH. It is time now

(21:12):
for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Good morning everyone.

Speaker 7 (21:15):
It's down five point thirty two on news Radio seven
forty k TRH.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
Our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
Friend Scene strengthened into a Category one hurricane last night.
Ninety mile an hour wins expect you to make landfall
today in Louisiana as a Cat one. There have been
minimal impacts in Southeast Texas, but Texas Upper coastal areas,
some under a flood warning until four pm. A voluntary
evacuation order has been issued for the Bolivar Peninsula in particular.

(21:42):
Also topping our news wit.

Speaker 8 (21:44):
A minute, I'm talking now, if you don't mind, please
does that sound familiar?

Speaker 7 (21:50):
Donald Trump reprimanding Kamala Harris during last night's debate on KTRH,
and it.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
Got a little more than just a little chippy.

Speaker 23 (22:00):
Trump called out Kamala for copying his plans for a
second term.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
She's going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was
going to send her a mega hat.

Speaker 23 (22:07):
Harris spent the night getting help from ABC's moderators and
dodging questions on the border and inflation.

Speaker 10 (22:13):
I was raised as a middle class kid, and I
am actually the only person on this stage who has
a plan that is about lifting up the middle class
and working people of America.

Speaker 23 (22:23):
Trump called last night, who's the best debate yet? Kamala
wants a rematch next month. Cliff Saunders, News Radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (22:30):
Yeah, well, Harris claimed she wants to reimagine October, but
Texas Senator Ted Cruz doesn't buy it.

Speaker 24 (22:36):
I'm skeptical that Kamala's team will have her do a
second debate.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
I think they're going to back out of that.

Speaker 24 (22:41):
I think they're going to send her back to Joe
Biden's basement.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
Cruise with kgrh is Sean Hannity. ABC's bias for Harris
on obvious display. Trump was fat checked live seven times,
Harris not once, and they didn't ask her questions about
what America came about her economic record.

Speaker 25 (23:04):
It is frustrating, and the moderators, I think did a
terrible job of following up on that. But look, I
think President Trump did a good job of reminding the
American people that this is a person who wanted to
ban fracking, She supported defunding the police, she supported opening
the border.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, jd vance there. His VP debate with Tim Walls
takes place October first. Newest polls show this trace being tight.
How accurate are the polls? Well, even the pollsters don't know.

Speaker 26 (23:32):
Look at them all, take a look at them. And
then I would also tell the listeners these are snapshots
in time. They are predictions, but their predictions that the
election were held today and the election is not held today.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
Except that ballas for early voting are already being mailed out.
That means the election is underway. Fox News pollster Darren Shaw.

got another partial government shut down at the end of
this month.

House Speaker Mike Johnson flashing confidence he can avert at
government shutdown and squeeze through a plan requiring people's show
they are citizens before voting. Conservatives want people to prove
their citizens to vote using real ID passports or certification

Fox's Chad Pergrim reporting there fireworks at a House hearing yesterday, though.
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo confronted by Republican Congresswoman
Elise Stefanic for his decision to force thousands of COVID
infected patients into nursing homes.

Speaker 28 (24:36):
Absolutely, you're throwing your staff under bus. You are culpable
for this. My question to you is when were you
negotiating for your multimillion dollar advance deal four year book.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
The governor's decision. Remember Trump offered him those navy ships.
He chose to force people into nursing homes instead. Fifteen
thousand died. They call it medical dei. Complaints being filed
against the Cleveland Clinic and other major hospital systems for
their minority only medical treatment policies are minority first.

Speaker 29 (25:13):
We've seen it in the areas of stroke prevention, heart attacks,
and even the Biden administration has proposed special rules for

Attorney Dan Lynnington there with a Wisconsin Institute for Law
and Liberties as clear violation of federal anti discrimination laws,
and the senior care industry now suing the Biden administration
over a new staffing rule.

Speaker 30 (25:40):
It would impose pandemic like minimum staff requirements for nursing homes.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Both times have changed.

Speaker 31 (25:45):
What happened was incredible wage inflation, and the reason is
because we have no pool of people to fill these positions.

Speaker 30 (25:52):
Senior care expert Adam Lambert says that new hires are
immigrants and they don't have enough money for visas, and
this will only end up creating more funnings.

Speaker 31 (26:00):
When they do put in more staff, those costs are
going to go up probably thirty percent more, and so
you're going to see more burden.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
More with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryer. This is Houston's
morning news, and the story is that forty four percent
of US homes are now owned by big investors like
Blackrock forty four percent. That's who bought forty four percent
of the homes last year. So that it's kind of
been put out there that you know, it's just these big,

(27:29):
huge investments companies that are buying houses. The reality is, yes,
black Rock is still buying houses. These investment companies are
still buying houses. About closer to thirty percent of US
homes now are owned by quote unquote investors, but they're
not owned by big corporations. Black Rock maybe owns to

(27:49):
three percent of US homes. It's a lot of mom
and pops. It's a lot of people who have invested
in real estate and maybe they bought here or a
house there. Somebody like you, chero has several homes that
you may use as rental properties or what have you.
People like us. So, yes, it's true that there's getting

(28:12):
to be a relatively high percentage of homes owned by investors,
but it's not just the Black Rocks that are owning
these homes either way. At the end of the day,
you really have to ask yourself, you know, what percentage
of homes are going to be home owned by just you?
Know what percentage of people, how many people are going
to be living in a home and just running that

(28:32):
home with no hope of buying that home. You're seeing that,
We've seen that for years now in California. Is the
California model going to spread across the entire United States
where homes are just too expensive for your average person
to buy and therefore they will always be runners and
never homeowners. By forty time for traffic and weather together,

it's still out there in the Gulf of Mexico, a
good distance away from Louisiana. But those hurricane warnings are
in effect along the coast because they're anticipating the winds

(30:33):
up to one hundred miles an hour. Good thing is
it will weakend quickly into a tropical storm and then
a depression as it heads northward. It's really not going
to have much of an impact for us. We are
getting some rain out of this. The water levels are
rising a little bit as well along the coast, and
se gusty winds near the coast.

Speaker 6 (30:55):

South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
All right, we'll be sharing some debate reaction with you
here this morning. I mean, the dark gonna be a
real surprises. If you are a conservative, you think the
Trump won. If you are liberal, you think the Kamala
Harris won is a Sherif said earlier today, it's like
a football game. You can score ten to seven, whatever
you want to score it. But I think I think
the reality is that the moderators themselves did manage to

(31:56):
get President Trump a little flustered last night. Got'm a
little aggravated and that came out. And yeah, I.

Speaker 7 (32:02):
Think I think he was containing anger in many cases.
And you know, I thought, ah, I don't need this.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
What the truth is, she was too.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
The question is do did it move anybody?

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Yeah, it didn't really change anything.

Speaker 7 (32:15):
Yeah, you needed that debate in order to make up
your decision.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
I don't think so either.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
I think I think it was being treated like a
football game. Who won, who laws, who is who that?
Who scored? You know, that's not what I care about
in my life. I hear you, and I'm not sure
anybody else should either.

Speaker 5 (32:31):

Speaker 5 (34:27):
This Morning News. Texas Congressman Troy Nils joins US he
said in Fort Benn County. So I'm going to start
with the obvious and most important question this morning, Congressman,
and that is, do you have any idea who won
the eight hundred million dollars in Sugarland?

Speaker 19 (34:40):
No?

Speaker 33 (34:41):
I do not.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
I gotta call my wife today.

Speaker 20 (34:43):
I'm getting off the phone with you guys.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
So seriously, though, last night, I'm sure you watched the
debate and everybody, of course, as Cherriff said this morning,
everybody's like a football game. Everybody's keeping score who scored
the most points. But at the end of the day,
do you think anybody's mind got changed by what they
saw last night?

Speaker 20 (35:00):
No, I don't believe the debate will swing the polls.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
And either way, I don't believe that.

Speaker 20 (35:06):
You know, you mentioned a little bit about that that
Trump seemed to be a little bit upset, and and
rightfully so if he was upset, because she lied a lot.

Speaker 6 (35:14):
She did.

Speaker 20 (35:15):
She she said things, and it was she attacked Trump
all night long, the Project twenty twenty five and David
and what was her name, Lindsay the moderators she should
have called out. Everybody knows. Trump said, I have nothing
to do with that, But they didn't do it, so it.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Wasn't fact check her. They did that one. They didn't
fact check her at all. They fact checked him over
and over and over again.

Speaker 20 (35:35):
Yeah, the National Abortion Band, she said Trump wants that
he doesn't and then she denied her support for the
Rioters in twenty twenty. I mean, we've got text messages
from her.

Speaker 7 (35:43):
So, but they didn't ask her anything about what her
her platform is. They didn't ask her about her economic
her economy. They just let her make these lofty little claims.
It just what did we learn about her?

Speaker 6 (35:56):
Really?

Speaker 7 (35:56):
That she can she can stand there and do a debate. Okay,
so that means she's not going to be pulled from
the ticket.

Speaker 20 (36:03):
Okay, Yeah, she she has very little substance. I think
you know, she spoke a whole lot, I would say,
but she really didn't say anything. She she did try
to articulate a plan to help the American people with
this fifty thousand dollars tax credit for people starting a
new business and six thousand for families. No details though,
it's just nothing, but just just noise.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
I would say.

Speaker 20 (36:26):
But I believe that the debate really isn't going to
swing people.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
One word there was no knockout punch.

Speaker 20 (36:30):
But we have sixty days.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Now, you have fifty seven days to find.

Speaker 20 (36:34):
Her, and I think that we'll be able to do
a good job and define her to the American people
and the fracking and the border fracking. I think we
got to just Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, those swing states are those
are the people we need to be reaching because the
other states, I don't want to say don't matter, but
we got to reach the swing states.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
Donald Trump moments ago on Fox and Friends this morning
after the debate last night. It proved to be three
against one, Kamala Harris and the two ABC News moderators.
Trump forced to defend himself under a battery of Kamala lies,
including the claim that he would impose a national sales tax.

Speaker 8 (39:57):
I have no sales tax. That's an incorrect statement. Knows that.

Speaker 6 (40:01):

said he doesn't need because, quote, he didn't lose. Ultimately,
Trump prosecuted the prosecutor.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
Last night.

Speaker 7 (40:19):
He called out Harris for her track record as Joe
Biden's vice president.

Speaker 8 (40:24):
As president, Trump said in his closing statement, She's been
there three.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
And a half years.

Speaker 8 (40:28):
Why hasn't she fixed any of these problems during that time.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
She does not have an answer to that question.

Speaker 14 (42:30):

illegal aliens that entered the country illegally. Of that number,
we know that the number of people on the terror

We've got armed Venezuelan gang members stealing oil, copper wire,
diesel fuel from oil fields in West Texas, threatening the

(43:02):
actual workers and producers there. They've also taken over control
of a hotel in El Paso. Democrats and mainstream media
tell us that illegal aliens, actually they pay back into
our social systems. They pay taxes, the ones that they
feed from from. But it's not really true.

Speaker 16 (43:20):
Illegal immigrants pay x taxes, including federal and state taxes,
which is true maybe for some of them, but most
of them work off the books. So where are these
taxes coming from?

Speaker 7 (43:32):
Yeah, American thinkers. Andrew Whidberg there, she told KTR that
are illegal aliens. They are estimated or were told, they're
paying about ninety six billion dollars in taxes, but they
cost upwards of one hundred and fifty billion in the
support and services from American citizens and taxpayers. We will

Speaker 5 (45:00):
Index ever since nineteen eighty has kept track of presidential
elections and is accurately predicted who the winner is going
to be based on what the Misery Index says. The
misery index itself is the addition of the unemployment rate
to the annualized inflation rate in the US. Those two things,
unemployment and inflation. It has correctly predicted fifteen are of

(45:22):
the last sixteen races for the White House. Okay, so
they got it wrong once, including every presidential matchup since
nineteen eighty. The index currently sits at seven point zero two,
which is below the level that they found that would
be consistent with the incumbent party losing the election. That
number accounts for the bondus decline in the jobless rate

(45:42):
in August to four point two percent. But is it
really four point two percent.

Speaker 7 (45:50):
It's based on numbers that are given to you and
keep getting readjusted. You don't know whether they're really real.
The only number that matters is your own misery index.

Speaker 5 (45:59):
It's exactly right. And I think there are plenty of
miserable people right now. Plenty of miserable you think, yep,
So I think this is they've gotten fifteen. I was
sixteen right based on those two things, I think make
it a fifteen out of seventeen. Six ' ten. Time

Here's sky Mite. We're not miserable on.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
The north side yet on the Beltway, you've got that

Center way not be organized, but she can cause a
lot of havoc from r KATIEIH top tax Defenders twenty
four are wther center, Terry is here. Whatever you want
to call fran scene. It's probably going to be a
Category two hurricane. The good news for Lee's and I
guess this is going to move pretty fast.

Speaker 21 (47:48):
Yes, it is going to move pretty fast, and it's
going to continue the weekend. And I am seeing a
little bit of an eye showing up on the radar.
What I'm not seeing is the eye showing up on
the satellite picture. But as its strengthens Skymike, it'll probably
see that I become better defined so it can continue
its forward progress. It's moving northeast, going to make landfall

(48:09):
along the Louisiana coast sometime later today. It looks like
sometime between the late afternoon and early evening hours is
when we'll see that happen and continue to make its
way northward. So its impacts for us are minimal. Main
concern some flooding along the coast, gusty winds. We could
see some winds as high as thirty five miles an
hour along the coast. Inland, It's a little bit breezy today,

(48:32):
that is it. And we have a fifty percent chance
of showers, some thunder today. Temperatures load of mid eighties.
It all clears out tomorrow. We've got lots of sunshine
through the weekend, no rain through Saturday. Temperatures near ninety tomorrow,
load of mid nineties Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And there
is a slight chance of a thunderstorm late in.

Speaker 5 (51:01):
Let's see what the folks of central Louisiana are in for.
Jeff Linder joins us. Jeff, what do you think, by
the way, compare this to Barrel? But how does this
compare to Beryl?

Speaker 33 (51:11):
Yeah, I think it's gonna be pretty similar to Beryl,
especially Morgan City, Homa, Port, Fouchon, Grand Isle and even
metro New Orleans. Uh, you know the the eastern track
shifts we've seen, you know, taken it from kind of
the Upper Texas coast on Sunday over towards Lake Charles
and then Lafayette and now even putting New Orleans and
the Mississippi coast in play this morning, and so you

(51:35):
know it's coming quick. I think you know the these
tropic storm forced ones are coming up to the coast now,
Hurricane conditions coming in quick this afternoon into that Vermilion
Bay at Chafalaya Basin area, and then up into the
New Orleans area this evening and tonight, probably missing Baton
Rouge a little bit to the east, and then up
into southern Mississippi as we get into tomorrow. So the

(51:57):
big threat here sea level water level rise the coast
five to ten feet above normally dry ground, very marshy,
very low lying areas that'd the outside of the Federal
Hurricane Protection levees there in southeast Louisiana. And then the
winds with the increasing forward speed like what we saw
here with Beryl. Wouldn't be surprised to get hurricane force

(52:17):
wind gusts all the way up into Mississippi. So obviously
power is going to be an issue over there.

Speaker 7 (52:21):
Yeah, you said with Beryl, it was hitting the accelerator
coming in. It didn't quite make Cat two, but it
was on the verge of it. Is that pretty much
the same thing, because it's still a Cat one we
thought it would be a cat to hurricane, but it
doesn't look like it's.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
Going to be.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Yeah, very similar.

Speaker 33 (52:36):
And you know every storm is kind of different or
the same, and so this is somewhat similar to Barrel.
I think actually Beryl was maybe a little bit more
organized than this. This is going to be running into
increasingly unfavorable conditions as it comes up to the coast
versus Barrel was increasingly favorable. So seron dry ear is
going to be wrapping into Francine and it's going to

(52:57):
become a very lopsided storm. So the other and backside
of is probably going to be eroded away with that
dry air and sheer, and so that may help some
to help level off the intensification as it kind of
comes up to the coast. But that forward speed, you
gotta think. You'll say, the wind's blowing ninety and it's moving
fifteen miles an hour. You add that extra fifteen on

(53:18):
that eastern side, and so you know, you could get
wind guss up over one hundred, one hundred and five
miles an hour potentially probably just a little bit west
of Mets, New Orleans. But I tell you what Mets
with New Orleans is probably gonna have some hurricane conditions
this evening.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
Sounds like it, though. It is gonna be with that
fast mover. At least he's going to get in of
Louisiana and get out fairly quickly.

Speaker 33 (53:37):
Yeah, that's exactly right. Rainfall maybe five or six inches,
which for southern Louisiana is not that big of a deal. Flooding,
you know, Yeah, they get some street flooding and stuff
like that, especially in New Orleans with the with the
pumping system and everything. But the big threat here is
probably going to be the wind, the power outages, and
that coastal storm sturge down there around Morgan City and

(53:58):
Homa along Highway ninety coming up out of a million
of Chapawaia Bays.

Speaker 5 (54:03):
All right, well, we'll see how We'll see how their
electric company does. As far as the vegetation, well, fy,
not if they've removed enough of theirs. Thanks Jef, appreciate it.
Harris County Meteorologist Jeff Linder. It's six twenty six. It
is time to take a look at your money. Joe
Donneger is here.

Speaker 22 (54:20):
Well, Jimmy, about a quarter of the current crude oil
in the Gulf of Mexico is shut in because of
France scene. Oil companies have evacuated workers from vulnerable rigs
and have suspended drilling activities. Eight Gulf Coast refineries are
in the path of the storm. People living near Exxon's Beaumont,
Texas refinery have been worn to shelter in place and

(54:40):
seal their doorways in case of a gas release from
the plant. Oil prices, however, are rising this morning. They're
up a dollar sixty seven to sixty seven forty a barrel,
but forecasters from JP Morgan Chase to City Group expect
oil prices will fall towards sixty dollars a barrel next year.
The analysts say that means the possibilit of pulling off

(55:01):
a soft landing is higher. That economies are weathering the
effects of high borrowing costs interest rates without suffering a recession,
and we are seeing the six straight weekly drop in
mortgage rates now. The Mortgage Bankers Association says the contract
rate on a thirty year fixed mortgage last week fell
to six point two nine percent. Stock futures, however, are

(55:23):
also falling while investors wait for the August inflation news
that comes out this morning. S and P futures are
down fourteen, Nasdaq futures fifty five down. Futures down one
hundred and forty seven points. I'm Joan Donneager, Bloomberg Business

Everyone, is how six thirty two on news radio seven

scene Category one hurricane moving in on central Louisiana and
it is getting stronger.

Speaker 36 (57:31):
Our forecast shows that approaching the Louisiana coast is a
category two hurricane with maximum sustained wins around one hundred
miles per hour.

Speaker 7 (57:39):
So that's the forecast now, Kat two as we said yesterday.
And then sort of walk back this morning, Brad Reinhardt

went out a minute, I'm talking.

Speaker 7 (58:01):
Now Donald Trump battling Kamala Harris and the two moderators
from ABC during the debate last night, and of course
there were the many multiple Harris lies.

Speaker 10 (58:12):
Donald Trump actually has no plan for you because he
is more interested in defending himself than he is in
looking out for you.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
It's just a sound good. I think you've heard that,
you say.

Speaker 6 (58:23):
And then he dropped a truth bomb on that vice president.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
She doesn't have a plan.

Speaker 8 (58:29):
She copied Biden's plan and it's like four sentences like run,
Spot Run.

Speaker 7 (58:36):
She copied a number of Trump's ideas too, including that
whole no tax on tipspledge. Remember Queason for that too.
According to Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

Speaker 24 (58:47):
What Kamala demonstrated is number one. She cannot defend her
disastrous record.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Her record is an absolute train record.

Speaker 7 (58:55):
Cruz on after the debate with kJ RHS Sean Hannity
worse than that. Though ha offered nothing new.

Speaker 25 (59:02):
The most striking part of it is if you actually
listen to.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
What she said.

Speaker 25 (59:06):
It was platitude after platitude after slogan.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
There was no substance.

Speaker 7 (59:11):
Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator jd Vance there He will
be debating Tim Walls in New York City October first.
New polls on the Trump Harris race every day, So
how do you know which ones are really accurate?

Speaker 11 (59:25):
Sharre It's a great question that I asked Fox News
pollster and UT professor Darren Shaw.

Speaker 26 (59:31):
There is art and science. I mean, this is all
the time. There's a statistical side of it, and then
there is crafting appropriate questions and response options, and that's
where the art comes in.

Speaker 11 (59:41):
And we also checked in with polster Matt Towery with
insider advantage.

Speaker 12 (59:46):
You want to rely on posters had been around for
a while who've been a part of the real clear
politics average.

Speaker 14 (59:50):
There are a group of polsters, probably twenty.

Speaker 36 (59:52):
Or so that are rated by Real Care Politics every
two years for how we do.

Speaker 11 (59:56):
And that includes Fox News, of course, the Wall Street Journal,
and Marquette University Jeff Biggs News Radio seven KRH.

Speaker 6 (01:00:06):
It's now six thirty five.

Speaker 7 (01:00:07):
House Speaker Mike Johnson putting a six month continuing resolution
on the floor for a vote today. It will combine
it with a bill to require proof of citizenship to vote.
At least six Republicans, However, Rhinos expected to vote against it.

Speaker 22 (01:00:23):
Fireworks.

Speaker 7 (01:00:23):
At a House hearing yesterday, former New York Governor Andrew
Cuomo grilled about his decision to send thousands of patients
with COVID into nursing homes and blame the federal government
and Donald Trump for it.

Speaker 32 (01:00:38):
I have little doubt that the problem here was what
happened with the federal government. They want to blame the states.
They want to focus on New York. I understand why
it's a blue state, et cetera.

Speaker 7 (01:00:49):
Trump delivered Navy's ships in order to hospitalize and take
care of people with COVID. Cuomo didn't use them. Fifteen
thousand people died in these nursing homes because Pemost decision.
New Biden rules that would impose minimum staff requirements at
nursing homes being met with a lawsuit. Senior care expert
Adam Lampert says it's going to create strains on budgets,

(01:01:11):
especially since most new hires are immigrants, legal or otherwise.

Speaker 31 (01:01:19):
They are the people who are doing these jobs, and
we don't have enough visas for them to fill these roles.
And that means that we're going to pay for it
because our costs are going to be higher. In the industry.
I can look out several years and tell you it
is going to get far worse than it is today.

Speaker 6 (01:01:34):
He predicts thirty percent.

Speaker 7 (01:01:36):
So DEI taking hold of virtually every part of public life.
Now in major hospital systems like the Mayo Clinic, guess
what minority specific healthcare?

Speaker 6 (01:01:48):
What's that?

Speaker 15 (01:01:49):
This is essentially racially segregated medical treatment, and it's illegal.

Speaker 29 (01:01:53):
Federal law does prohibit all forms of racial discrimination. The
if Affordable Care Acts prevents discrimination in medicine.

Speaker 15 (01:02:01):
Attorney Dan Lennington with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and
Liberty says minority only treatment programs should be unthinkable.

Speaker 29 (01:02:08):
No one would suggest that we should have a white
only clinic for MS, for example, that would be seen
as the incredibly racist.

Speaker 15 (01:02:17):
Lennington says, patients need to be on the lookout for
programs like this and speak out when they see them.

Houston's Morning News with Jimmy part and Sheriff Fryar. They
had a body language expert on newsbacks last night. Former here.
She used to work for.

Speaker 5 (01:03:11):
One of the federal agencies and where she had an
opportunity to question somebody to do those type of things.
And of course you can pick up a lot on
body language as far as whether somebody's telling you the
truth or not telling you the truth. Her name is
Lena Cisco. There was kind of like a viral moment
from last night that President Trump kind of got kamal on.
So they played that for her and then got her

(01:03:33):
reaction to the body language. She was showing.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
She was big on to fund the police in Minnesota.

Speaker 8 (01:03:39):
She went out, I'm talking now, if you don't mind,
please does that sound familiar?

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
She went out.

Speaker 8 (01:03:49):
She went out in Minnesota and wanted to let criminals
that killed people, that burned down Minneapolis, she went out
and raise money to get him out of jail. She
did things that nobody would ever think of.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Now.

Speaker 8 (01:04:02):
She wants to do transgender operations or illegal aliens that
are in prison. This is a radical left liberal that
would do this. She wants to confiscate you guns, and
she will never allow fracking in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 37 (01:04:16):
So I at first she does this prolonged eyeblink, right,
and she does this and her eyebrows shoot up. So
when people do that, it's, oh God, what did I
just hear?

Speaker 6 (01:04:25):
What should I say?

Speaker 37 (01:04:26):
It's something traumatic, it's something emotional. And as soon as
she does that, she leaves the fear grimace, and it's
when people open their mouth and kind of suck in air.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
And she did it twice.

Speaker 37 (01:04:37):
She did it when she first took the stage, after
that awkward handshake and she went to her podium, but
she did that fear grimace, which means I have fear
in this moment as to what he's going to say
or call me out too next. And you saw that
with her breathing in and of course as that segment
went on, she had a lot of anger with the
eyebrows coming down her furred eyebrows and narrowed eyes.

Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
That's clear right there, this fair amount of anger on
the Trump side or frustration. It might have been more
frustration than anger, but that was very good.

Speaker 6 (01:05:07):
Reason such had a scall.

Speaker 5 (01:05:09):
Yeah time, it's because.

Speaker 7 (01:05:10):
And I kept looking at that scal thinging, oh, well,
they're going to beat people who really don't like that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Well, what he was mainly reacting to I think we're
the moderators on ABC, you know, and the fact that
he was getting everything he said, he was fact checked
like thirty three times. A Kamala I think got fact
checked maybe once, maybe once, so clearly was very one sided.
Sake forty time for traffic and weather. Together, we're checking
out the drive again to sky Mike, Hey, I got some.

for me. But southbound Grand Parkway, I'm going to double
check that at the twenty at the fifty break Fry

roadwork from there to Highland Knows both ways, but it's
awful southbound. My digitals are showing like at least a

(01:05:56):

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
So give me ten minutes.

Of course, it also connects like your kneebone to the

is going on? Been from a Tasca cety you had

right there after minute May eighteen extra minutes this way.
Toll Bridge Suckegs has already started twelve extra minutes down,
and I will keep an eye on the Golden Triangle

(01:06:42):
this morning as we pray for our friends over in Louisiana.
I'm Skymike in the classic elite GMC traffic Center from
our KTRH Generator super Center twenty four hour Weather Center.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
Let's check in on our friends in the central Louisiana.
Terry Smith is here and we've got Francine ready to
make landfall a little bit later today. Does it remind
you of Beryl?

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Sort of yes.

Speaker 21 (01:07:06):
And mainly no, because I mean it's in the same
vicinity as Beryl, except it's a little bit further east.
But you know, Barrel started out in the Caribbean as
a form at old Cat five hurricane that went across
the Yucatan into the Gulf and then made its way northward.
But the fact that it is a minimal hurricane similar

(01:07:30):
to what Beryl was when it came toward Houston and
the southeast Texas coast. It's similar in that regard, but
you know what they're like people. They have the different
aspects of them, even though they may take the same
path or be of the same speed or category. The
main concern for Louisiana first and foremost is the title

(01:07:51):
surge and the flooding that may result from the hurricane
on top of the winds as well. But it'll rapidly
we can make its way northward and bring some into
an area that needs rain. Parts of Mississippi have been
very dry, but you know, too much rain at one
time not a good thing.

Speaker 6 (01:08:07):
And we're going to see some of that rain.

Speaker 21 (01:08:09):
But it's only a fifty percent chance of those showers

who ignored many of the Biden Harris' failures. Why are
tackling inflation? Harri is pushing for another debate next month,
She says. Fox has offered both camps three dates to
choose from, but Trump said this morning he's not sure
if he wants another debate. Republicans don't blame Trump for

Speaker 11 (01:15:35):
Sure, the Dems are fighting to keep RFK Junior on
the ballot in Wisconsin and other key states.

Speaker 12 (01:15:42):
The so called protectors of democracy are doing everything they
can to keep RFK Junior on the ballots when he
doesn't want to be on the ballot.

about now and the future.

Speaker 14 (01:17:18):
There have been several arrest of plots of individuals that
wanted to conduct acts of terror that have come across
the border, and it's simply a matter of time. We
don't know exactly when the next strike will be, but
there will be a next strike.

Speaker 36 (01:17:31):

And just the ones we know about armed Venezuelan gang members,
they're not just messing around in other states. They're stealing oil,
copper wire, and diesel fuel from the Permium basein oil
fields in West Texas. According to a memo that was
issued to employees there, those gang members also using their
vehicles to run workers and witnesses off the road as

(01:18:02):
they commit these crimes. And overnight news of a hotel
and olpasso totally overrun, turned into a drug den controlled
by that Venezuela gang that has overtaken Aurora, Colorado. Democrats
tell us we don't worry about this the cost of
illegal immigration, but what is that cost?

Speaker 15 (01:18:24):
Turns out illegal immigrants cost way more than they pay
back in taxes.

Speaker 16 (01:18:28):
Illegal aliens pay about ninety six billion in taxes. They
cost at least one hundred and fifty billion in support
and services The.

Speaker 15 (01:18:38):
American Thinkers Andrea Whitburg tells KTRH this is having very
obvious consequences throughout America.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
Crime has increased, hunger has increased.

Speaker 16 (01:18:46):
We're getting insta poverty because of the huge pressure of
illegal aliens on poor communities.

Speaker 15 (01:18:51):
Whidburg says the cost of the border crisis will likely
force the government to print more money, leading to even
more inflation. Ethan buchinnan News Radio seven forty O. It's

One winning powerball ticket sold in sugar Land. Of course,
we shouldn't assume that that's necessarily somebody who lives in
sugar Land. It's just bought in sugar Land, won eight
hundred million dollars. Oh, hang on, you want to feel
better about this, They didn't really win eight hundred million dollars.
Let's assume because ninety nine point nine nine percent of

(01:19:51):
the time they take the cash payout. Right, So how
much of that eight hundred million dollars you get in
your cash payout your lump sum? You get four hundred
and sixteen million. But wait, there's more. Federal tax of
twenty four percent comes to ninety nine million, eight hundred
and forty thousand. Plus you are potentially reliable for a

(01:20:12):
thirty seven percent tax based on your filing status. That
would add another fifty four million, thirty eight thousand, one
hundred and eighty eight dollars to your tax bill. So
how much you end up with in pocket after paying
Thank god you live in Texas, though you have to
pay a state tax on it. Guess how much you
get two hundred and sixty two million, one hundred twenty

(01:20:35):
one thousand, eight hundred and twelve dollars out of that
eight hundred million. What a racket? I mean, don't get
me wrong. I would I feel pretty good having two
hundred and sixty million.

it were to ever come, you know, gambling in Texas.

Speaker 5 (01:20:58):
They get their taxes to sudden though, had two hundred
and sixty million dollars sharef Fryer, what would you do
with that money?

Speaker 6 (01:21:05):
What would I do?

Speaker 5 (01:21:06):
That's why people pay the lottery, play the lotteries. You
think about what what would I do with the money.

Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
I would try to influence some things.

Speaker 5 (01:21:15):
Oh, you'd be a well healed influencer, that's for sure.
I know what Elizabeth would do with the money. She
would build a huge refuge for abandoned cats, dogs and cats,
pets that you know that end up dying because nobody

(01:21:35):
wants to adopt them, and she would give them the
best life ever, and it would pay for all the
cost and she would just put enough money in trust
fund to keep it running in perpetuity. Yeah, it's one
of the things you do. I'd probably buy a beach
house and I don't know, somewhere some were exotic. It's fun.
Like I said, the reason why you play the game

(01:21:56):
is because.

Speaker 22 (01:21:57):
To use it to help.

Speaker 6 (01:21:58):
Yeah, sure, where I could.

Speaker 5 (01:22:00):
I think, Well, the beauty of having over too, what
do you do?

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
You can only sleep in one bed.

Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
The beauty, but you can sleep one bed at a time. Yeah,
but you can have beds all over the world. I
guess if they'd interest you, Like I said, you know,
fantasizing about what you do with the money, I think
is why we play the game. Seven to eleven. I guess, yes,
Elizabeth ar she's very altruistic.

Speaker 6 (01:22:24):
Gave her a great title.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
What would you spend the money on.

Speaker 4 (01:22:27):
I would get off every day at nine am and
just go get a normal life during the day, maybe
take some weekends off from my Now you.

a quarter to half inch of rain and that's it
where it falls. Not everybody's going to see the rain.
Bulk of the wet weather out over the Gulf and
headed toward Louisiana and Mississippi. So with the clouds and
the rain today, temperatures are quite pleasant, actually load to

ninety tomorrow, getting even warmer load of mid nineties Friday

Very leaders the presidential election on Youth Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 5 (01:27:06):
One of the more bizarre moments, a least in my mind,
was when Kamala Harris accused President Trump of helping China.
Here's how that went.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
What he ended up.

Speaker 10 (01:27:14):
Doing is under Donald Trump's presidency, he ended up selling
American chips to China to help them improve and modernize
their military. Basically sold us out when a policy about
China should be in making sure the United States of
America wins the competition for the twenty first century, which

(01:27:35):
means focusing on the details of what that requires, focusing
on relationships with our allies, focusing on investing in American
based technology so that we win the race on AI,
on quantum computing. Focusing on what we need to do
to support America's workforce so that we don't end up
having on the short end of the stick in terms

(01:27:57):
of workers' rise. But what Donald Trump did, let's talk
about this with COVID, is he actually thanked President She
for what he did during COVID. Look at his tweet,
thank you President She exclamation point when we know that
she was responsible for lacking and not giving us transparency

(01:28:18):
about the origins of COVID.

Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
President trouble.

Speaker 8 (01:28:21):
First of all, they bought the chips from Taiwan. We
hardly make chips anymore because of philosophies like they have
and policies like they have.

Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
I don't say her because she has no policy.

Speaker 8 (01:28:33):
Everything that she believed three years ago and four years
ago is out the window. She's going to my philosophy now.
In fact, I was going to send her a mega hat.
She's gone to my philosophy. But if she ever got elected,
she changed it, and it will be the end of
our country. She's a Marxist. Everybody knows she's a Marxist.
Her father's a Marxist professor in economics and he taught her. Well,

(01:28:56):
but when you look at what she's done to our country,
and when you look at these millions and millions of
people that are pouring into our country monthly, where it's
I believe twenty one million people, not the fifteen that
people say, and I think it's a lot higher than
the twenty one. That's bigger than New York State pouring
in and just look at what they're doing to our country.
They are criminals. Many of these people coming in are criminals.

(01:29:19):
And that's bad for our economy too. You know you
mentioned before we'll talk about immigration later. Well, bad immigration
is the worst thing that can happen to our economy.

Speaker 5 (01:29:27):
All right, that's from last life. So bank seven twenty seven.

To McDonald's, would you rather go up to the counter
order and pay person to person or order it one
of those kiosks. McDonald's is rolling out a new digital
cash hearing system now that will take cash and give
you change. The company says, you won't replace the people
behind the counter, They will just move on to other tasks.
School systems cashless payment plans charge a fee of as

(01:29:56):
much as three dollars or more every time parents load
money onto their kids school launch plans. For folks who
have to pay as they go, that means they pay
for six launches and get five. The Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau says schools have to offer a free, fee fee
free option to pay by cash or check, but a
lot of people don't know about it. On Wall Street,
the wait is on. Indeed, for the August inflation report,

(01:30:18):

Wit a minute, I'm talking now, if you don't mind,
please does that sound familiar?

Speaker 7 (01:33:14):
Debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. It got pretty
heated last.

Speaker 23 (01:33:18):
Night, mostly because of ABC's moderators who were clearly anti Trump,
who had to ask the questions they wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
You should ask?

Speaker 8 (01:33:27):
Will she allow abortion in the eighth month, ninth month,
seventh month?

Speaker 33 (01:33:31):
Come on?

Speaker 3 (01:33:32):
Okay? Would you do that?

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
Trump sounding off this morning on Fox and Friends.

Speaker 35 (01:33:36):
ABC the most dishonest, in my opinion, the most dishonest
news organization. But I thought I did a great job.

Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
It was three on one man. I thought I did
a great.

Speaker 23 (01:33:44):
Jeb Fox offering Trump and Harris three dates for a rematch,
which Trump says Harris doesn't deserve. Cliff Saunders News Radio
seven forty KRH.

Speaker 7 (01:33:53):
Yeah, ABC's bias for Harris was really on display. Trump
was fact checked by the Way Way Live to his
face seven times, Harris not once.

Speaker 25 (01:34:06):
It is frustrating, and the moderators, I think did a
terrible job of following up on that. But look, I
think President Trump did a good job of reminding the
American people that this is a person who wanted to
ban fracking, she supported defunding the police, she supported opening
the border.

Speaker 9 (01:34:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:34:19):
ABC didn't bother to ask that question of Harris. Jd
Vance was there? You just heard VP candidate debate with
Tim Walls takes place October first. Newest polls all show
the race being type and how accurate are they even
the pollsters don't know?

Speaker 26 (01:34:38):
Look at them all, take a look at them. And
then I would also tell the listeners these are snapshots
in time. They are predictions, but their predictions if the
election were held today, and the election is not held today,
ballots for.

Speaker 7 (01:34:49):
Early voting are already being mailed out, so in many cases,
the election is underway in many states. That was Fox
News pollster Darren Shaw. He's also a professor at the
University of Texas Austin. Seven thirty five is our time
in DC. Time running out on Congress. There's a partial
government shut down looming at the end of the month.

Speaker 27 (01:35:09):
House Speaker Mike Johnson flashing confidence he can avert at
government shutdown and squeeze through a plan requiring people's show
they are citizens before voting. Conservatives want people to prove
their citizens to vote using real ID passports or certification
from Homeland Security.

Speaker 7 (01:35:25):
Fox's Chad Pergrim there fireworks at a house hearing yesterday
where former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had to be
was confronted. He was answering questions about his handling of
the COVID putting people into nursing homes with COVID fifteen
thousand deaths. Confronted by Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanic.

Speaker 28 (01:35:49):
Absolutely, you're throwing your staff under us. You are culpable
for this. My question to you is when were you
negotiating for your multimillion dollar advance deal four year book.

Speaker 7 (01:36:00):
His decision to not use the naval ships that were
provided hospital ships provided by Donald Trump and instead forced
COVID patients into nursing homes led to fifteen thousand deaths.
It's seven thirty six now. The new Harris County budget
includes an eight percent property tax increase by precinct all

(01:36:21):
the commissioners the Democrats. The Precinct three commissioner Tom Ramsey
tells KT your age. It's the local Democrats taking advantage
of that emergency legal loophole.

Speaker 9 (01:36:35):
Yeah, because of the disaster barrel. Normally it's capped at
three and a half. They went up to eight percent
the maximum.

Speaker 4 (01:36:42):
You can allow.

Speaker 7 (01:36:43):
Yeah, they can raise our property taxes, but not use
the money for any kind of recovery from Beryl. There's
gonna be a public hearing on this before the final
vote is taken in a couple of weeks. You know
how it will go. The Democrats run the show. It
is now seven thirty seven. The Astros lose at mid
of May Park to Oakland four to three. The series
continues tonight. Pregame is six and Sports Talk seven ninety

(01:37:06):

Fuck info at this speed of Houston's Right now, Houston's
Morning News continues with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 5 (01:37:35):
When we're all rowing in the same direction where we
could agree politically to disagree, but we all agreed. We
were Americans, we all agreed we had some very basic
things in common. It lasted for a little while, not
for long. Then we got back to business as usual,
and that's that's a shame. But I can't help but
think you this morning, because today is nine to eleven,

(01:37:56):
what does that mean to you? I mean, if you're
a listener to the station in this program, I think
you fully well know what it means to you. The
September eleventh terrorist attacks. But we're talking twenty three years ago. Now,
can you believe?

Speaker 26 (01:38:10):
Can you?

Speaker 5 (01:38:11):
First of all, can you believe it's been twenty three years?
Because I remember exactly. I mean, it's like one of
those days like the jfk assassination. If you were alive
for that, you knew where you were, what you were doing,
every little detail of where you're at that day, I
was on the radio wondering what the hell was going
on and being asked to explain what was going on

(01:38:31):
when I had no idea what was going on. Nobody did.
And you know where Elizabeth was? Houston, ironically, because she
was working for Continental Airlines and she was here doing training.
She was there when they shut the airport down, when
they shut down on the under Continental, everything shut down.
She was here for I want to say, the better

(01:38:53):
part of a week before they could she could, you know,
flights resumed a normal she could get back home again.
Where were you shared?

Speaker 6 (01:39:02):
I was here, I was working.

Speaker 7 (01:39:03):
Yeah, I was trying to get a hold of James Baker,
who was in d C and saw that the plane
hit the Pentagon. Then he got whisked away, you know,
former Secretary of State, advisor to George W.

Speaker 6 (01:39:15):
Bush.

Speaker 7 (01:39:16):
He got whisked away and he didn't get back to
Houston himself until later.

Speaker 5 (01:39:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:39:20):
But I think about the Houstonians who lost their lives.
I think about Lauren Katuzie grand Collis. She was pregnant,
so thinking that her baby would be twenty two years old. Now, yeah,
you know they lost their daughter. The Katusies lost their
daughter and they lost their grandchild.

Speaker 5 (01:39:40):
Yeah, my only fear.

Speaker 6 (01:39:42):
I think very personally about it.

Speaker 5 (01:39:44):
Yeah, my only fear. It's like everything else, as time
goes on. You know, you have an entire generation. You
have you know, twenty two year olds, twenty one year
olds that were born when this happened to have no
recollection of it. Probably haven't learned very much about it.
If anything, in the schools rarely very few. Fox Fox
this morning, he's been running some nine to eleven footage,

(01:40:04):
but I'm guessing the other networks probably are not. They're
probably leaving it alone, or if they are, they're bearing
it fairly deep and just quickly matching it. It just
kind of fades away.

Speaker 6 (01:40:13):
Think about the.

Speaker 7 (01:40:13):
Peva who enlisted, yeah and went off to fight war
for what twenty three years exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:40:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:40:19):
