Speaker 4 (01:36):
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Everyone is down five oht one on news radio seven
forty KTRH. In our top story this hour.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
Only consequential presidents get shot at you.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
It was former President Donald Trump at a Michigan town
hall last night that really turned into a rac as rally.
You should have heard the noise. It was his first
public appearance. About eight thousand people crowded into an in
another eight thousand outside. Second assassination attempt. Yeah, was just
this past Sunday. In the event hosted by Arkansas Governor

(02:10):
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the former president was asked what the
world would think of his reelection.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Now, in like forty eight days or whatever it might be,
we're going to do something that will I don't think
it's going to shock the world. Actually, I think the
world is going to be maybe prepared already. And honestly,
if I didn't do great, and if I didn't do
well in twenty twenty, I wouldn't even think about doing this.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, Jimmy, By the way, he promised to make Michigan
a powerhouse manufacturing state once again. Yeah, probably the top
in the country, is what he said on this second
assassination attempt. Now, the Biden regimes, Attorney General Mary Garland says, well,
no expense will be spared to investigate.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
The entire Justice Department, including in particular, the FBI, the
US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, the
National Security Division, are all coordinating closely with our local
state law enforcement partners on the ground.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Same FBI that's trying to throw him in jail in
the Maro Lago. Yeah, right. Secret Service spotted that suspect
by the way hiding near the golf course with a
gun and was able to foil the attempt. The shooter
eventually or would be shooter eventually taken into custody by
law enforcement pursuing it. Was a woman who saw him

(03:33):
fleeing and followed snapping photos of his license tags way
to go. He's now facing two federal gun charges felony charges.
He is a convicted felon and is not allowed to
have those guns. There is a separate investigation underway at
the Florida state level, and maybe you'll get some attempted

(03:54):
murder charges out of that, don't know. VP Kamala Harris,
speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists Toesday, cheered
the Biden regime withholding military support, some of it anyway,
to Israel in its war with Hamas.

Speaker 8 (04:11):
One of the things that we have done that I'm
entirely supportive of is the pause that we've put on
the two thousand pound moms.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Harris says she supports Israel's right to defend itself, but
how they do that matters. Donald Trump says he's done debating,
or is he.

Speaker 9 (04:30):
Former President Trump left the door open a jar to
a second debate, with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying he
may do so if he was in the right mood.
Political analyst Chris Pacgaala thinks another debate would be good
for Trump.

Speaker 10 (04:41):
I think Donald Trump missed some opportunities in the previous.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Debate to stick to his knitten.

Speaker 10 (04:46):
As we say in Texas, and hammer on what people
really care about, and that's the economy, immigration, the porous border.

Speaker 9 (04:54):
One of Trump's biggest supporters, Florida Senator Rick Scott, said
if you were in Trump's position, he would do another debate.
Eight other Trump backers say he should only do it
if it's hosted by a network like Fox News. Coriolson,
Who's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
House Speaker Mike Johnson is planning a vote today on
a spending plan to keep the government in business. And
one week he had ago he had to pull that
plan because a dozen Republicans withdrew support because he included
a voter ID bill. Yeah, even Republicans are against that.

(05:29):
After starting as just another Venezuelan prison game, the trend
Aragua TDA has been spreading throughout the US through our
open border.

Speaker 11 (05:40):
Those guys, they can give a fake name, they can
give a fake history, date of birth, and there's no
way to check their criminal records back home in Venezuela
or Tibo or Haiti and Nicaragua when they show up
at the border when they apply for parole.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, the Democrats set up this program. Simon Hackinson with
the Heritage Foundation, he told KTRH members or inspected members
of TDA have committed crimes from Texas all the way
up to New York. It was Governor Abbott just this
week designating TDA as a terrorist organization and promises that
Texas will in their reign. It is now five oh six.

(06:16):
A Houston police officer recovering at home after being shot
responding to a home invasion in the Spring Branch area yesterday.
Houston Police Chief No Ideas credits the officer's partner for

work to our injured officer, a plat attorniquet to one
of his lower extremedies. The homeowner safe. I mean just
incredible response.

one call from a neighbor about that break in, and
were confronted by two suspects, one of whom opened fire.
Both were arrested after a chase. The wounded officer hid
in the leg A woman and a young child inside
that home are safe now. A third suspect was also
arrested at a taco bell later in the day. The

(07:05):
gas pressure reportedly decreasing now in that burning pipeline in
Deer Park, so the fire is closer to burning itself out.
Officials have updated and reduced the evacuation area and now
surrounding that pipeline fire in Deer Park evacuated, now bounded
by the Willows Springs Bio Spencer Highway, Canada Road and
O'khaven Road. It likely will remain evacuated through today. A

(07:30):
local fertility clinic being sued accused of knowingly implanting damage
or even dead embryos into women seeking IVF treatments.

R H ferry Latest on your way to work.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
So Bible nine is their time here in Houston's morning
news news. Looks like there's gonna be a lot of
upset and disappointed gen zers out there. So if you're
gen Z, I just thought i'd lay this up you
in case your mom and dad haven't already done so.
Young Americans expecting to inherit money assets for most boomer
parents are going to be disappointed because the boomer parents

(09:11):
aren't planning to leave anything behind.

Speaker 15 (09:16):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
In note words, we're using it all. If you had
that conversation with your kids, are they expecting some chunk
of money or whatever when you die, when you're gone,
you know, a piece of property or something along those lines.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Well, I think that was sort of naturally the American way,
well used to be, you have children, You're doing that
for your children.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, you got to remember, though, the past generations were
really good at saving.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Well, I was going to say, there's an awful lot
of millennials who are already the beneficiaries of trust established
by those greatest generation grandparents, the ones who who worked
hard save their journey sure and certainly had the benefits
right that instituted. You know, I've social secure.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I've been very honest with my kids. You know, It's like, guys,
I have no idea what what things are going to
look like at the end. All I know is is
that I don't want you to have to worry about
taking care of me. That's my job to take care
of myself and Elizabeth, and you don't have to worry
about that. But I don't know, you know what that
means at the end. I mean, I'm not looking to

(10:21):
leave behind a big trust fund or you know, a
whole whole bunch of money for my kids. You know,
if there's something left, that's great, you know, but.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
What they want, they what they want is not stuff.
They want money. They want money. Yeah, they don't want stuff,
so things that maybe you know, me and stuff they
carry on from my parents and grandparents. And they didn't
have much, but that means that whatever they had was
precious to them. Sure, and I've kept it, you know,

(10:52):
but I'm not so sure that the next generation really
cares about it.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
I don't want dishes, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I didn't think I would care about that until my
mom passed, and then all of a sudden, I love
the way my mom did it. I mean, she just
you know, she laid it all out. There was and
there's nothing to argue about, nothing to discuss. Even when
it came to personal possessions. She put all the personal
possessions that had not been spoken for ahead of the
time in my sister's garage, and then we all got
to go in there, one at a time, from birth

(11:19):
order right on down the line. Pick whatever you want,
you know, pick one thing of whatever you want. And
it got to the end and my grandmother's depression array
dishes were in there, and that's something that meant a
lot to me because it belonged to my grandmother. And
my grandmother passed when I was like seven years old.
I didn't really have grandparents per se, so that meant

(11:39):
a lot to me. So I'll take the dishes, you know,
But I love the way they did that.

Speaker 10 (11:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
People don't realize how lucky they are. I didn't know
either of my grandmother's. Yeah, they died before I was right, right.
My mother's mother died when she was twelve. Yeah, So
I mean for her to keep something that was her
mother's it meant so much to her from a little girlhood.
I just can't see it going.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
To I think we may be we may be one
of the last sentimental generations that really care about that
kind of stuff when you get right down to it all, right,
time for trafficking weather together.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
See I keep trying to trail Jennifer from TV to
tell her friend who does the weather, that when I die,
somebody's gonna get some cows. I'm just saying, so.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
I'll take a cow.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Is a message you, Joam?

Speaker 1 (12:22):
That would be gone, wouldn't they? We wouldn't mind. That
would just guy Mike.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
And I'm still waiting on my message back here. Let's
go right north side. We had a question about that
roadwork on will Clayton Parkway. I thought that was just
two days I got that little memo. But you know,
we got a lot of information going on here will
Clayton Parkway just west of I sixty nine, some roadwork.

They've moved the Texas State Flower. I mean orange pone
nice closing the left U lane now and only that
one right lane is opened and it's already back up.

Speaker 3 (12:57):

going into bush right before me ky road left hand side.

Speaker 17 (13:06):
They got completely shed down and it is one lane suckage.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Holy wow. Okay, another day of this business. And you
know as the sun comes up, this is going to
get any worse. Terry, What direction is the wind coming from?
By the way, I noticed on the north side, I
was getting some east side smells this morning. Made me
kind of nostalgic. We're in the Generator Supercenter dot Com
traffic Center.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
All right, Well, your your more sense of smell is
working this morning. Evidently from our KTRH south tax defenders
twenty four ours, we know that Skymike is down wind
from where with whatever wind direction that we have this morning, and.

You're absolutely right. We've got a little bit of an
easterly breeze. It's a varied light breeze.

Speaker 19 (13:46):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
So there go outside smells on the north side this morning.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Here you go.

Speaker 18 (13:51):

used to be Buick City anyway, when they meet a
lot of general motor stuff.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
There, well it's gonna be again.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Evidently, according to Trump, that was more like a football
game tailgate party, pep rally, and it was like a Telera.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
It was wild, and you know, just the people who
were there. It was every age, it was every demographic
that you would want. I saw women any job who
were there. I thought, wow, yeah, I mean, and people
were cheating. He was taking selfies. This is a guy,
they've tried to kill him twice and he's taking selfies
with people.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Unreal, really unreal. But just to give you a feel
for how it was, I've got the big welcome that
he got when they open up the town hall. We'll
share that with you next. First, though, we've got traffic
and weather together.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Starting with you Skymike, I got Spencer Highway still closed
due to that gas pipeline rupture from Monday. That's going
to be between East Boulevard and Luela and that continues.
I guess they have a lot of work to do there.
I was just checking those of you playing the home game.
I was checking camera seven to one five and I
don't see the flame as it looks like I do

(15:36):
see a glimmer there. We'll double check that just for fun.

It's five twenty two now on news Radio seven forty KTRH.
Lawmakers demanding more resources for the Secret Service and after
this second attempted assassination of Republican candidate President Donald Trump.
It's a group of eight Republican senators demanding from the
acting Director of the Secret Service increased protection for Trump

(16:37):
that is equal to that given to Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris, an HPD officer shot in the leg, is
recovering at home. He was responding to a home invasion.
He's expected to make a full recovery. Three men, including

kg RH. Yeah, they used to make those in Flint,
Michigan five and maybe they will again. Well I don't
know if you except we are going to make a
real big comeback. But Flint, Michigan certainly is primed for
a comeback. You got those old facilities there, wouldn't be

(17:38):
that hard to you know, retrofit them and get going again.
And that's kind of what that was, kind of the
message I hope that Donald Trump was bringing to Flint.
I mean, Flint is one of those places that desperately
wants to see that happen again. And all Democrats want
to tell them is that no, no, those jobs are gone.
They're never coming back again. But what a welcome the
former president got in Flint. Here you go, thank you, Oh.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
That's a lot of people for a town hall.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Nobody's ever seen a town hall like that.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
You know, a townholl is supposed to have about three
hundred people. You have about eight thousand people here, and
equally as important, about eight thousand people.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
That are not here.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
They're walking away.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
But I think we have television outside, right, so they're
watching from outside. Would anybody like to change places with them?
I thought you were going to say that, thank everybody.

Speaker 13 (18:53):
Oh, hello, Sarah, mister president, nobody's ever seen anything like it.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Well, it's been a great experience. It's a dangerous business. However,
being president it's a little bit dangerous. It's you know,
they think race car driving is dangerous. No, they think
you're bull riding. That's pretty scary, right, No, this is
a dangerous business, so we have to keep it safe.

Speaker 13 (19:23):
Mister President. I don't think there's a person, certainly in
this room tonight and probably anywhere in the country that
doesn't remember exactly where they were on July thirteenth, that
Saturday when a horrific thing happened, an attack not just

(19:47):
on you, but what I see as an attack on
our entire country.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
They have Wow, just a while, you know, when he's

(20:14):
describing the dangers of the job, I'm thinking myself, what's
the most dangerous thing I do? In reality? Is about
probbly the most dangerous.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Driving to work in the dead of night on dangerous road.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Being on the North Freeway at two thirty in the
morning is probably the most dangerous thing I do. You know,
and imagine that though, I mean, this guy's been two
assassination attempts. Yeah, not the least bit afraid.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
He's it doesn't mean that they're over now, No, no,
And to walk into a crowd like that, and I
mean and just stick around and sign autographs and walk
right up to people. And they were bringing people up
physically to ask questions from the audience. Yeah, you know,
obviously they've probably been vetted in the secret service room
where it was a huge crowd.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Amazing. Five twenty seven. It is time to take a
look at your money. Good morning, well, good.

Speaker 20 (21:01):

Good morning everyone, five thirty two now on news Radio

Mayor John Whitmeyer with his inaugural State of the City
address and said once again that public safety is the
top priority here.

Speaker 19 (23:42):
We can put more police on the street, but We've
got way too many violent offenders out on bond, fugitives.
We've got to address him.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
Threw it into the county. The district courts attorney Jared
Woodfield says, eight and a half months in crime still
rampant here. So where there are the.

Speaker 22 (24:00):
Results, give him credit. He's a good politician, but the
reality is crime rates going up. He's looking at putting
the new tax in place. So we've got a whole
lot of talk, but we haven't seen any policies that
have been put in effect that have had an impact
on everyday Houstonians.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Yeah, as one local expert put it, the honeymoon is over.
A Houston police officer at home recovering after being shot
while responding to a home invasion in the Spring Branch
area Tuesday yesterday. Houston Police Chief No Ideas credits thee
officer's partner for quick work at the scene.

Speaker 12 (24:31):
The second officer administered first aid. It just did incredible
work to our injured officer, a plat, a tourniquet to
one of his lower extremities. The home owner safe. I mean,
just incredible response hives, incredible police work by our team.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah, it was a nine to one to one call,
originally from a neighbor about a break in, and they
were confronted those two officers by two suspects, one of
whom opened fire. Both of them were arrested nearby after
a chase from other officers. A third suspect was arrested
at Taco Bell later in the day. Officer sa du
Free was shot in the leg. Expected to make a

(25:03):
full recovery. And that natural gas pipeline that Skymike was
just talking about, the one that ruptured and exploded after
being struck by a vehicle Monday, it's continuing to burn

are confident in the improvements made at the county level,

Deadline to register to vote as October seventh. Early voting
begins across Texas October twenty first, forty seven days until
the ale actual election day. And you got the New

says the election results are going to take a while
to come in. Now, why is that?

Speaker 15 (26:27):
And Shara, the question is why and are they setting
us up for the steal?

Speaker 24 (26:32):
I think they're sensitizing people to what I think is
going to be the most fraudulent election in American history.

Speaker 15 (26:39):
That's the election expert Jay Valentine with OMEGA for America,
who says, this is twenty twenty deja vu all over again.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
This time people are going to see it. People are
going to have their nose rubbed in it.

Speaker 24 (26:52):
And the question I think we're all going to have
to ask ourselves is if Americans don't believe this election
was fare and honest, what happens now?

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Yeah, rerun of the Picture show. Right. It was his
first public appearance since a second assassination attempt, and his
entrance by Donald Trump into a pact Flint, Michigan Arena
immediately launched his town hall into a thunderous rally. You
just heard Jimmy play it. When the roar of the
crowd finally abated, he talked first about the two assassination
attempts and said that only consequential presidents get shot at.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
And I have to say that President Biden called me yesterday,
was very nice, with a very nice conversation.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
I appreciate it that he called man accused in this
latest assassination attempt to former President Trump in custody now
on federal gun charges. This is coming from the DOJ,
but Florida Governor Ron Desanta says there could be more
state charges to come.

Speaker 25 (27:59):
The state of Florida has jurisdiction over the most serious,
straightforward defense, which is attempted murder.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
There you go. Ralth was already charged has been charged
with two firearm offences in federal court that happened earlier
this week. Again, this is coming from the DOJ, Homeland Security,
the FBI. He could be facing twenty years in federal
prison on those charges if convicted, but the attempted murder
is by far the more serious crime. Vice President Harris says,

(28:31):
far too many Palestinians have been killed during the Israel
Hamas war, and she is campaigning on that before the
Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia. She did it yesterday.
Harris says she supports Israel's right to defend itself, but
also how it does that matters.

Speaker 8 (28:49):
One of the things that we have done that I
am entirely supportive of is the pause that we've put
on the two thousand pound bumps.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
She again stressed that a sees fire deal is needed.
Right now, it's five thirty seven. The Astros, they take

Number ten, McAllen, number nine, Abilene, number eight, Wichita Falls,

Tyler, it's a pretty.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Yeah, it's a pretty town. And you know you've got
easy access to Dallas sport Worth if you want to
go in for big city stuff.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Right, Little one hundred and nine thousand people live there,
so it's kind of like.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
A you know, college town.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, well that's a typical college town, hundred thousand people. Yeah,
you know, that's kind of what I grew up in
a college town with about one hundred thousand people.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
And I don't know, the North Texas is a little
tough for me. I lived in Arlington for a couple
of years.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
The wind constantly, Yeah, weather gets a little diceier up there.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
It's hotter than a hell in the summertime and cold
in the winter. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Here's what they really like about though. The cost of living. Yeah,
seven point eight percent lower than the national average typical
home value two hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars. A
lot of places where you can have a home, you know,
buy a medium priced home that's under three hundred thousand dollars.
By the way, that's twenty nine percent less than the
US average. Ten senior relevant healthcare providers per one thousand

(31:19):

in the Katie Freeway. Like Joe Brad is Sweetwater, Texas,
is listening on the free iHeartRadio app. Terry standing by,
and Joe Brad from Sweetwater says, the supermoon's so right
he needs shades. And then Jack from Connecticut it's fifty

far it's almost slinky time. That's why I can do

(32:09):
all this nonsense. But southwest at Baylor, that is which
way we're going. Are we inbounder outbound? Yeah, there we are.
It's inbound Baylor. Now that's on the exit rimp if
you're trying to get off the freeway.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
So just give it a little night a possum.

Speaker 3 (32:21):

minutes clear Lake North Freeway twenty two minutes from Rayford Sawdust.

hear differently.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Well, Chris Buggall is going to join us in the moment.
We'll see, I'll argue with you. We'll see how he
feels about how Trump did in the first debate and
if there's anything even if even if we don't think
he did particularly well, is there anything to be really
gained by a second debate, especially considering who might host it.
More in that story coming.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Next on the ten five fifty three at a time.
Now you're in Houston twenty two, So so should President Trump.
Have a second debate with Kamala Harris and what really
gets achieved by doing that. Chris Bagala joins US political
strategist and commentator. I guess let's start with this, Chris,
how do you think President Trump did in the first
debate against Kamala Harris.

Speaker 27 (36:58):
You know, I don't think he did all that bad.
I mean, that's just the way everybody kind of looks
at it. But I would say less talk about Haitians
eating dogs and cats, and maybe a little bit more
talk about the economy and how it was strong four
years ago and now people are struggling now. But overall,
I think he did perfectly fine. And on this debate question,

(37:20):
if you know you're asking me, in my opinion, I
think he should go out there and debate. Yes, they're
going to stack the odds against him. The ABC moderators
themselves admitted that they planned to fact check Trump but
not fact check Kamala Harris. So and then there's also
a whistle.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
Blower, Yeah, the whistleblower who said, yeah, they actually gave
Kamala Harris the question. So why should Donald Trump even
bother with that? Because he did a raucus rally. It
was supposed to be a town hall last night, going
out and appealing to the people that he knows he
has and keeping them inspired. Isn't that more important in
order to get re elected than it is to try

(37:59):
to what win over or play a losing battle against
the debates that are loaded. And I don't care who
the moderator is, because media is totally in for Harris.

Speaker 27 (38:12):
No doubt, of course, the media is completely on the
same side as Harris. I would say, you know, those
rallies and all of that's share. That's good. He's talking
to his base, But during a debate, you're going to
be talking to maybe those sliver of voters out there
that are undecided, maybe a few that might vote now
after seeing the debate. It's not really that huge of

(38:36):
a deal. But I would say go ahead and do it.
You know, have some trepidation because it's going to all
the odds are stacked against you. But when you have
a chance to talk to voters that you usually don't
get a chance to talk to, I take advantage of it.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Is there a venue that he could go to where
he would actually have a fair debate and Kamala Harris
would agree to participate in it.

Speaker 27 (38:58):
Good question answer.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
No, Well, you see how she's campaigning. You know, she
Association National Association of Black Journalists. This is her second
appearance before them. She was at historically black colleges speaking
to them. She was talking to her sorority sisters, speaking
to them, historically a black sorority, National Black Sorority. She

(39:24):
seems to be making the appeals strictly for the black vote.
Is that because she's bleeding over into Trump? You're an
awful lot of blacks or showing up these Trump rallies.

Speaker 27 (39:36):
You know, of course, what she's doing is trying to
talk to her base. I mean, she has to have
a huge percentage of the African American vote to win,
and that's what she's doing. But if you listen to
her answers, they literally do not make sense. So you
know she's out there trying to talk to her base.
Of course Trump is again I would say, do a debate,

(39:58):
you get to talk to voters that are understand but
you know it's going to be stacked against you.

Speaker 5 (41:47):
Good morning everyone. It is now six oh two on
news radio seven forty k TRH and our top story,
this is our former president Donald Trump in a first
raucous public appearance. It was a town hall turning into
a since that second assassination attempt Sunday at his Florida
golf course. Now he was addressing a crowd in Flint, Michigan.

(42:08):
He spoke briefly about that second attempt on his life,
but he was speaking extensively about manufacturing and about China
EVAs flooding the US market through Mexico, and he told
that crowd, if elected, he would put tariffs, a two
hundred percent tax on those cars coming in not manufactured

(42:29):
in this country.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
And then you wonder why I get shot at?

Speaker 6 (42:33):
Right, You know, only consequential presidents get shot at.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
The man accused in the latest assassination attempt a former
President Trump is in custody on federal gun charges, but
Florida Governor Ron Desanta says there could be more consequential
charges coming from the state of Florida.

Speaker 25 (42:55):
The state of Florida has jurisdiction over the most serious,
straightforward defense, which is attempted murder.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
Ralph has already been charged with two firearm offenses felony
gun charges in federal court this week. Now I have
been convicted of those, he would face twenty years in
prison in a federal prison. That the state charges are
much more serious. VP Kamala Harris was at the National
Association a Black Journalists again cheering the administration withholding military support,

(43:26):
some of it to Israel and its war against terrorists.

Speaker 8 (43:31):
One of the things that we have done that I
am entirely supportive of is the pause that we've put
on the two thousand pound Mombs.

Speaker 5 (43:39):
Harris says she supports Israel's right to defend itself, but
how they do that matters. Donald Trump has so far
said no to a second debate with Kamala Harris says
he won the first one despite the bias of the moderators,
But political analyst Chris Pagologists told us that he thinks
Trump should reconsider.

Speaker 10 (44:00):
My opinion Donald Trump should be open to doing another debate.
He's got to stick to the economy, the porous border
issues like that that affect people's lives. That's something that
he really missed in the previous debate.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
Yeah, Trump recently softened his attitude a bit. He said
he might consider doing another debate if he was quote
in the right mood. Criminals have been pouring across our
border for nearly four years. That's always a topic of debate,
and as a result, the Venezuelan gang trend Aragua has
taken firm root all across the United States.

Speaker 28 (44:38):
They started as just another prison gang, but have since expanded.

Speaker 11 (44:41):
They're present as far as we can tell in Colombia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil,
almost certainly Mexico.

Speaker 28 (44:49):
Simon Hankinson with the Heritage Foundation told Katie Reach they've
now spread across multiple US cities.

Chicago and Dallas and Denver.

the Federal Reserve lower interest rates later today. According to
bank Rate, the average rate for a retail credit card
though now above thirty percent, meaning if you're just making
minimum payments, you may never pay off the balance.

Speaker 29 (46:59):
What I would suggest would be to get a zero
percent balance transfer credit card. So move your existing high
cost debt and doesn't get much higher than storecards, move
that over to a card that won't charge interest for
up to twenty one months, and.

Speaker 5 (47:12):
Then pay it off. He says, bank rates, Ted Rossman,

meat came from and you feel rick it better better
if you grind it yourself, if you're going to go
to that particular ride. I'd be the first to say
that Pasadena, California, claims to be the birthplace of the
cheeseburger with a sixteen year old short order cook serving
the first one more than one hundred years ago on
a roadside hamburger stand. There other spots claiming the birthright

(49:47):
are Caitlin's Restaurant in Louisville, who said they did it
in nineteen thirty four, and they also say they're the
ones that named it a cheese burger.

National Guard got called in, but that massive thirty nine

And yesterday the man accused of uarding that line fire

Speaker 1 (54:53):
We say what happens next, happens here? This is justin
your guests, is as good as ours.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
What happens next on Youth Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
Well, let's say straight out of Comptains. This is straight
out of Venezuela, and that's a whole different deal. Six
twenty three or so time, Simon Hankinson joins us with
the Heritage Foundation. We've got this art Venezuelan Gang TDA,
which is participating in humans, smuggling, trafficking, kidnapping, extortion schemes,
moving illicit narcotics, all those things. And now they've issued

(55:26):
a green light to its members evident lead to attack
and fire upon US law enforcement officers. That's quite a problem, Simon.
In fact, our governor had a press conference about that yesterday.
He did.

Speaker 30 (55:39):
And Texas has been in the forefront of the attempt
by states to try to fill in the whole left
by the federal government in law enforcement on the border
and in the interior. When it comes to all of
these unvetted migrants that are coming in, you know, most
of whom are probably not going to commit any crimes,
but even a tiny percentage of which is highly dangerous,

(56:01):
and yesterday they were declared I think a transnational terrorist organization.
Federal government already considers them a transnational criminal organization.

Speaker 5 (56:10):
So besides giving them the actual constitutional authority to go
ahead and defend Texas since this is a terrorist invasion,
what else I mean? Can they now start attacking bank
accounts in some of the money train Are they allowed
to do that or does that only have to come
from the Feds in the FBI.

Speaker 30 (56:30):
Well, as far as I understand it, anybody here in
the United States, whether they're legal citizens, legal residents, tourists,
or illegal aliens, they're still subject to our criminal laws.
Right if they steal money, if they commit rape or murder,
they can be penalized and arrested and prosecuted just like
anybody else. So the State of Texas and local authorities

(56:51):
have always had that ability. Some states, as you know,
in cities are they call themselves sanctuaries and they don't
cooperate with federal law enforcement after that process try to
get them deported as they should be. Texas is one
of the better states when it comes to that. So
they have a lot of authority already to go after
gangs like trendy Arragua, the members and the money.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Well, you know what, we have the same problem here
Simon as every other major city in the United States,
which is our prosecutors, our district attorneys are judges are
all sympathetic to criminals, regardless of where they're from.

Speaker 30 (57:24):
Yeah, that was a real surprise in the last ten
years because there's such low turnout in these elections for
prosecutors district attorneys, A lot of money, very far left
money was able to elect in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, big
cities all across the country, New York prosecutors who just
don't do their jobs. They feel like it's not their

(57:47):
responsibility to put dangerous recidivis, repeat offenders behind bars, and
so as a result, a lot of people are out
there on the streets, including illegal immigrants who really shouldn't
be and who are going to one day heard.

Speaker 5 (57:59):
Of our I would still say, if you go after
the money of the people who are running them over
the cartels themselves, ultimately, if it's not profitable, it will end.

Speaker 30 (58:11):
Well, there's I guess the sort of the high end.
If you're talking about the cartels, we're talking billions of
dollars in a more organized structure. And then there's the
kind of low end trendy Aragua has some kind of
structure and some of the money's probably funneling up. But
these these gangsters, the foot soldiers on the streets, you know,
robbing purses and cell phones and extorting people and pimping

(58:33):
and doing all that kind of stuff. They're taking that
money to kind of feed themselves. So there's sort of
a low end element that I think we could clean
up much more easily, and then we could tackle the
high end element at the same time.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Yeah, if there's just the will do it, Simon. Thank you,
Simon Hankinson at the Heritage Foundation. Six twenty seven. Time
to take a look at your money. Courtney Donaho is here.

Speaker 20 (58:53):

Good morning, everyone. Is How six thirty two on news
Radio seven forty KTRH is Who's sponsored by Partners in

of the City address, Houston Mayor John Whitmyer said, after
nearly nine months in office, quote the best is yet
to come.

Speaker 19 (01:01:50):
We have a great city, great people, but we have challenges.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
Charles Blaine with Urban Reform points out one of the
big challenges is still via crime.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
There's definitely still a lot of work to do.

Speaker 20 (01:02:04):
I mean we're kind of not really out a year,
but kind of close it in at least a year.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
Crime is on the news every night, and so there's
still a long way to go.

Speaker 5 (01:02:12):
But he added, this mayor is going to take a
big hit in support if he allows Houston City Council
to give all of us a tax increase. A Houston
Police officer home recovering shot while responding to a home
invasion in the Spring Branch area yesterday. Officers responded to
a nine to one to one call from a neighbor
about that break in, confronted by two suspects, one of

(01:02:34):
whom fired. Both suspects arrested later nearby suspected getaway driver

accuracy testing on the selection equipment this week preparation for,
of course, our general election. Harris County GOP chair Cindy

(01:03:19):
Siegel says this county has taken positive steps since the
debacle of twenty twenty two, but is still up to
the people, the voters, to hold them accountable.

Speaker 23 (01:03:30):
We need all hands on deck. The more eyes and
ears at the polls, whether it's helping your candidate by
passing out literature outside of the poll or actually working
or being a poll watcher, it all helps to ensure
the process is fair.

Speaker 5 (01:03:46):
Now, the county clerk, Tanisha Hutsmith says they've already completed
a comprehensive review of all the ballots to ensure their accuracy,
but nationwide, preparing us for a twenty twenty repeat, New
York Times says, well, election results are going to take
a while to count and get in. Don't expect to
know the winner on election night. Uh Oh.

Speaker 24 (01:04:09):
The more you see for American citizens to be worn
that we're either going to have a major cyber attack
on around election day or this headline that people should
get ready because we're not going to know on election day,
I think they're sense of hizing people.

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
Yeah, just be ready to accept it, wave it off.
Election expert there, Jay Valentine of Omego for America, mail
in ballots once again will be the issue, he says.
In twenty twenty, the results not determined until four days

(01:04:44):
the National Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia on Tuesday,
Kamala Harris says, well, she supports Israel's right to defend itself,
but she says how it defends itself also matters.

Speaker 8 (01:04:57):
One of the things that we have done that I
am entirely supportive of is the pause that we've put
on the two thousand pound bumps.

Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
Chi against stress. A cease fire deal is needed now.
Now the deans of some of this nation's most prestigious
colleges and universities, they're being put on the carpet for
not doing more to stop anti Semitism and the demonstrations
against Jewish students on campus. Texas Senator John Cornyn used
a hearing Tuesday to blast the decision to allow violent

(01:05:30):
and threatening actions during a time of war in the
Middle East.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
This sort of behavior is tolerated. It's a threat to
all minority groups.

Speaker 5 (01:05:42):
The head of the National Jewish Advocacy Center testified that
the First Amendment is not a free pass to threaten
the rights of others. It's now six thirty six Harris
County residents. We all shell out big bucks to use
the toll roads, you know, trying to get in big
bucks for the big shots, Mike says. Over the last
ten years, the toll road revenue has grown from six

(01:06:05):
hundred ten million dollars annually to now eight hundred ninety
six million dollars into the county coffers.

Speaker 28 (01:06:14):
So what does all that money actually get spent on?

Speaker 12 (01:06:17):
Pre Think one, which is pretty much the city of Houston.

Speaker 26 (01:06:20):
Rodney Ellis has been using dollars for the toll roads
to bite Trail.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
It's just kind of going to pet project.

Speaker 28 (01:06:26):
Metro board member Alexmueller told KTRH this is a symptom
of the county's mismanagement.

Speaker 26 (01:06:31):
They are failing at every single mandated task, and then
they want to throw some gimmick money.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Here's some gun buy back.

Speaker 16 (01:06:37):
Here the cash for a few months to go buy
their constituency.

Speaker 28 (01:06:41):

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
Six thirty eight is our time here in Houston's part
of news. Any all belong to a frequent flyer program
or have a card. I have a card that's like
a United card, United card.

Speaker 5 (01:07:40):
Yeah, yeah, I've got United in the Southwest.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
How are you at getting free tickets? Free tickets, free tickets?
You know, theoretically that's the idea. But behind a frequent
flyer card, right, is that eventually you're going to earn
enough points that you're gonna to take a free trip.

Speaker 16 (01:07:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:57):
I use them a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
I did.

Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
I just don't travel much now since COVID I just quit.
It's too much of a hassle.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Evidently the Department of Transportation thinks it's too hard for
you to earn free tickets, and they're doing an investigation
into your miles.

Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
So then you get you can use those miles to
buy your ticket, right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
But I think they think it's too hard to earn
the miles. In other words, you have to jump through
too many hoops, and you have to spend way too
much money in order to be able to earn that
free ticket. So the Department transfer Just remember who's running
the Department Transportation right now? Enoff said, right, and think.

Speaker 5 (01:08:35):
How much jet fuel has increased in price.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Again, the DOT investigating American, Delta, Southwest and United The

are transparent and fair to consumers. They will look They're
going to look into a number of areas share including
point valuation.

Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
For DEI, do you get more points if you're DEI?

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Let's see here how airlines may reduce or eliminate the
value of points or miles earned by travelers pricing, whether
award flight pricing strategies obscure the true value of points
or miles, How many airlines, how many fees airlines charge
to maintain, redeem or to transfer points, How airline mergers
affect the frequent flyer programs and the point values, and

(01:09:21):
whether or not the airlines are colluding with each other
on exchange in price signaling through mergers. There's your Department
of Transportation going after the airlines.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
Now, bridges and roads falling apart. But by god, let's
go attack the airlines.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
Yeah, they must want a piece of the action. Six

within two to three years, it'll all be gone. And
I know you got a little bit of an increase.
It doesn't mean that's the small stuff, because it's just
a temporary thing.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
Because you will not have.

Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
Any manufacturing plants. China is going to take over all
of your business because of the electric car and because
they have the material.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
We don't what we have is to think called the gasoline.

Speaker 5 (01:14:51):
We have gasoline.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
We have so much gasoline.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
We don't know what to do.

Speaker 6 (01:14:55):
They don't have gasoline, So why are we making a
product that they dominate. They're going to dominate. You will
not have a car industry left, not even a little
bit of a car industry. This will be the most
fun of any state because we're going to bring back
an industry that you can do it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
You know, We're going to bring back an industry.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
And and mark my words, if for some reason, some.

Speaker 6 (01:15:24):
Tragedy happens, because there would be a tragedy beyond the
auto business for the whole country. I really believe that
if a tragedy happens and we don't win, there will
be zero car jobs, manufacturing jobs.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
It will all be out of here.

Speaker 6 (01:15:38):
And that includes South Carolina, that includes other places that
are competitors of yours. You won't be making cars here anymore.
You won't be making anything in our country anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
We're going to bring it all back.

Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
But the one and I say this, and I said
it to another state the other night, and I said,
this is not a good thing to say to another state.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
But I said, Michigan's going to.

Speaker 6 (01:15:57):
Be the most fun because you have your so set
up for greatness.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
All you need is somebody smart at the.

Speaker 6 (01:16:03):
Top to say you can't flood or market with cars.

Speaker 6 (01:19:07):
Only consequential presidents get shot at you.

Speaker 5 (01:19:11):
It was a town hall event that became really a
rally in Flint, Michigan. Donald Trump briefly speaking about the
second assassination attempt on him before getting right back into
campaign mode.

Speaker 6 (01:19:23):
Now, in like forty eight days or whatever it might be,
we're going to do something that will I don't think
it's going to shock the world. Actually, I think the
world is going to be maybe prepared already.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
And honestly, if I didn't do quick, and if.

Speaker 6 (01:19:36):
I didn't do well in twenty twenty, I wouldn't even
think about doing this.

Speaker 5 (01:19:40):
Meantime, the Biden Harris regimes. Attorney General Merrick Garland says
no expense will be spared while investigating.

Speaker 7 (01:19:49):
The entire Justice Department, including in particular, the FBI, the
US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, the
National Security Division, are all coordinating closely with our local
state law enforcement partners on the ground.

Speaker 5 (01:20:03):
What are they investigating? The suspects in custody and he's
been charged with two federal felony gun violations. The separate
investigation at the state level underway by the State of
Florida is able to bring murder charges attempted murdered charges
against the suspect. VP Kamala Harris, speaking to the National

(01:20:25):
Association of Black Journalists on Tuesday, cheered the Biden regime
withholding military support, some of it to Israel as it
tries to end its war with a moss.

Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
One of the things that we have done that I
am entirely supportive of is the pause that we've put
on the two thousand pound moms.

Speaker 5 (01:20:45):
Harris says she supports Israel's right to defend itself, but
how they do it matters. Donald Trump said he was
done debating, but is he really.

Speaker 9 (01:20:56):
Formor President Trump left the door open a jar to
a second debate, with Vice President Kamala Harris saying he
may do so if he was in the right mood.
Political analyst Chris Bagalla thinks another debate would be good
for Trump.

Speaker 10 (01:21:07):
I think Donald Trump missed some opportunities in the previous
debate to stick to his knitten, as we say in Texas,
and hammer on what people really care about and that's
the economy, immigration, the porous border.

Speaker 9 (01:21:20):
One of Trump's biggest supporters, Florida Senator Rick Scott, said,
if you were in Trump's position, he would do another debate.
Other Trump backers say he should only do it if
it's hosted by a network like Fox News. Coriolson, who's
radio seven forty KTRH, it's now.

Speaker 5 (01:21:34):
Seven oh five. Well, they started as just another Venezuelan
prison game train de Ragua, but now they've come to
the United States in droves and they are spreading all
across this country because of our open border and Biden
regime policies.

Speaker 11 (01:21:51):
Those guys they can give a fake name, they can
give a fake history data, birth, and there's no way
to check their criminal records back home in Venezuela, Tubo
or Haitia, Nicaragua when they show up at the border
when they apply for parole.

Speaker 5 (01:22:04):
Simon Hankinson with the Heritage Foundation told kt r H
members or suspected members even of TDA, as our governor
calls them, They've committed crimes from Texas all the way
up to New York. We've heard about them taking over
entire apartment complexes in Colorado. Again, Governor Abbott just designated
TDA as a terrorist organization and promises that Texas will

(01:22:27):
fight them. Seven oh six is our time. Houston Police
officer recovering at home. He was shot in the leg
responding to a home invasion in the Spring Branch area yesterday.
The chief no ideas credits his officer's partner for a
quick work at the scene.

Speaker 12 (01:22:46):
The second officer administered first aid. It just did incredible
work to our injured officer, a plat at, tourniquet to
one of his lower extremedies. The homeowner safe. I mean,
just incredible response, Hives. Incredible police work by our team.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
Yeah. Both suspect were arrested later. The suspected getaway driver
arrested also later in the day. The pressure reportedly decreasing
in that burning gas pipeline in Deer Park, so the
fire is closer to burning itself out. Officials have reduced
the evacuation area surrounding the fire too. Now it's bounded

(01:23:19):
by the Willis Springs Bio Spencer Highway, Canada Road and
Oakhaven Road, and those areas likely remain evacuated for today,
but the schools in Deer Park are reopened. A local
fertility clinic sued accused of knowingly implanting damage or even
dead embryos into couples seeking IVF treatments.

Speaker 14 (01:23:41):
This process of implanting dead or damaged embryos went on
for six months late in August this year. Patients who
were not informed of this era until as late as
early September.

Speaker 5 (01:23:54):
Astros take it to ten innings. They get the job
done with a four to three win in San Diego.
Over the parts, two teams wrapping up the series with

forty KTRH.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
I live near Sharpstown, reliable kt RH traffic and weather.
Next on the ten seven o eight is our time
here on Houston's morning news. Well, unlike the first attempted assassin,
the second attempted assassin, Ryan Ruth, I guess his name
is pronounced ruth. Evidently he does have a manifesto. Evidently

(01:24:39):
he does have something we look at that would say, oh,
this seems like this might have been entirely predictable. He
wrote in the manifesto entitled Ukraine's on the Winnable War,
The Fatal Flaw of Democracy, World Abandonment and the Global
Citizen Taiwan, Afghanistan, North Korea and the End of Humanity.
Quite a title, which, by the way, is still available

(01:25:00):
on Amazon. You can buy it for two dollars and
ninety nine cents.

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
Well, now he's going to become best selling US.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
How about that? Here's part of what he said. You
are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for
that error in judgment and the dismantling of the nuclear deal.
He's talking about the Iran deal. No one here in
the US seems to have the balls to put natural
selection to work, or even unnatural selection. I must take
part of the blame for the retarded child that we

(01:25:28):
elected to our to be our next president that ended
up being brainless. But I am man enough to say
that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake in Iran.
I apologize. So he's not only calling on Iran to
do the job, but if Iran can't get the job done,
then maybe he'll have to do it himself. Should this
not have been on the FBI's radar.

Speaker 5 (01:25:48):
Well, I think it was. You know, they visited with
him and cleared him. Yeah, like back in what was forgotten.
We had it yesterday twenty nineteen m They were tipped
that he was he was dangerous. They went and talked
to him, just like they did the first shooter.

Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
Yeah, nothing came of it.

this is our fourth month of summer. Because it just
keeps going through the weekend, folks, No big change in
our weather pattern even into early next week. So basically
dry temperatures load him in nineties through at least Sunday
at this point. It may cool slightly early next week,
but I'm talking like instead of ninety five ninety two,

(01:28:34):

So yeah, take those extra precautions just to not get
worn out by all the heat.

Here's sharep It's now seven twenty two on news radio
seven forty KTRH. These headlines are sponsored by DNM on
a leasing FBI investigating some mail containing white powders into
election offices in at least seventeen states. Israel reportedly they're
responsible to IDF for hundreds of pagers that blew up

(01:29:55):
simultaneously across Lebanon yesterday in the pockets of Hezbola terror
Several killed thousands injured. Apparently those terrorists made the switch
to pagers after their leader told them to stop using

Listen to news Radio seven forty KTRH on the free

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
So The New York Times says you're gonna have to
be waiting come election night. You might be waiting a
long time for those election returns because they're just going
to be so many mail in ballots to count. Josh
Finley joins US Texas Public Policy Foundation. This feels like
a setup. Josh, Is this the New York Times getting
us ready for some more election shenanigans?

Speaker 17 (01:30:53):
Well, I think it's definitely a warning.

Speaker 11 (01:30:54):
You know.

Speaker 17 (01:30:55):
The problem is has that in a lot of states
they're just set up to count ballots app election day,
and what we saw in twenty twenty is that there
are big issues with the chain of custody. The longer
you have ballots sitting around, the more questions arise about
what is being done with those ballots. And then frankly,
you know, in the states like Nevada, they accept ballots

(01:31:16):
until Friday after the election, and so there's a lot
of questions about those ballots getting in on time, regardless
of the postmark. So really what it is is in
a lot of states, you just have an election system
that is set up to raise questions.

Speaker 5 (01:31:30):
Yeah, they set it up after doing it on the
spot in twenty twenty, you know, when they saw the
turnout that was happening on election day and the way
the count was going, all of a sudden, oh, we
have to stop counting because they knew that they weren't
going to be able to just squeak by apparently, so
now they've codified it into law some of these states

(01:31:51):
where they're going to keep on accepting ballots for a
long time.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 30 (01:31:56):
You know.

Speaker 17 (01:31:56):
The problem with twenty twenty was they put in all
of these measures. A lot of times unilaterally by executives,
you know, the governor, the secretary of state, without input
from the legislature. They put these rules in place, and
they didn't have the infrastructure to count all of these
ballots in time. I mean, you remember the images from
Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for example, where they had ballots just

(01:32:18):
in the election office stacked Florida ceiling. And it went
so terribly in twenty twenty that some of these states decided,
we're going to put this into law, and we're going
to make this the rule all around. A lot of
times you have to ask who benefits from chaos in
an election system like that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Yeah, and there's no real answer to it, because it's
up to the states. Correct, That's exactly right. It is
up to the states.

Speaker 17 (01:32:40):
You know, a lot of people don't recognize that we
don't have one presidential election. We really have fifty presidential elections,
and every state runs its elections under the laws of
its own jurisdiction.

Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
Okay, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Josh Fentdling, Texas Public
Policy Foundation seven twenty six. Time to take a look
at your money here.

Speaker 20 (01:33:01):

The warehouse chain is hiking wages for hourly employees. Starting
pay will increase to sixteen dollars an hour. The company
also plans to give bigger raises to workers with longer

(01:33:44):

Houston Mayor John Whitmeier with his inaugural State of the

public safety for Houston is his top priority.

We can put more police on the street, but we've
got way too many violent offenders out on bond, fugitives.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
We've got to address him. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:36:01):
Attorney Jared Woodfield says, nice deflection, but he's been eight
and a half months on the job now and crime
is still rampant, So where are the results?

Speaker 22 (01:36:11):
Give him credit, he's a good politician, but the reality
is crime rates going up. He's looking at putting the
new tax in place. So we've got a whole lot
of talk, but we haven't seen any policies that have
been put in effect that have had an impact on
everyday Houstonians.

Speaker 5 (01:36:24):
Nothing immediate. One local expert put it the honeymoon's over now.
Houston Police officer at home recovering shot while responding to
a home invasion call in the Spring Branch area Tuesday.
Houston Police Chief No Ideas credits his partner, the officer's partner,

work to our injured officer, a plata tourniquet to one

training as well as the placement of our experience Republican
judges and clerks.

Speaker 5 (01:37:49):
Deadline to register to vote in Texas October seventh. Early
vote begins October twenty first, here forty seven days until
ele actual election day, though, and in New York, The
New York Times leftist says election results are going to
take a while and why.

Speaker 15 (01:38:07):
And shar the question is why and are they setting
us up for the steal?

Speaker 24 (01:38:12):
I think they're sensitizing people to what I think is
going to be the most fraudulent election in American history.

Speaker 15 (01:38:19):
That's the election expert Jay Valentine with OMEGA for America,
who says this is twenty twenty deja vu all over again.

Speaker 1 (01:38:28):
This time people are going to see it. People are
going to have their nose rubbed in it.

Speaker 24 (01:38:32):
And the question I think we're all going to have
to ask ourselves is if Americans don't believe this election
was fair and honest, what happens next?

Speaker 15 (01:38:40):
The Times says the delay will be due to mail
in ballots. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty kt H.

Speaker 5 (01:38:49):
It was his first public appearance since that second assassination
attempt on him. Donald trump entrance into a pack flint
Michigan arena launched his town hall into a thunderous rat.
When the roar of the crowd finally abated, Trump talked
about the two assassination attempts and said, quote, only consequential

(01:39:09):
presidents gets shot at.

Speaker 6 (01:39:11):
And I have to say that President Biden called me yesterday,
was very nice, with a very nice conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:39:17):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 17 (01:39:18):
That he called.

Speaker 5 (01:39:19):
Yeah, the man accused in this latest assassination attempt on
the former president is in custody by the Feds on
federal gun charges, but Florida Governor Rohn Dessenda says, nope,
the state has greater authority too when it comes to
attempted murder charges, and they are going to pursue.

Speaker 25 (01:39:39):
That the State of Florida has jurisdiction over the most serious,
straightforward offense, which is attempted murder.

Speaker 5 (01:39:48):
Yeah, with the Feds can charge him with our two
firearm felony offenses, federal firearm offenses. He could receive twenty
years in federal prison on that. VP Harris says, far
too many Palestinians are being killed in the Israel Hamas war,
and she campaigned on that before the Association of Black
Journalists in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Harra says she supports Israel's

(01:40:11):
right to defend itself, but how it goes about it
is another matter.

Speaker 8 (01:40:16):
One of the things that we have done that I
am entirely supportive of is the pause that we've put
on the two thousand pound bombs.

Speaker 5 (01:40:25):
She stress a Ceaspire deal is needed now. But as
we said earlier, the regimes. Anthon Blincoln, Secretary of State,
is not even going to Israel on his latest round
of peace talks. He's going to Egypt, Iran, and Russia
meantime further in cahoots as Iran's nuclear program continues to grow.

Speaker 31 (01:40:45):
It's the wage of sin for years of American negligence
and financial coddling.

Speaker 16 (01:40:50):
Don't be surprised if they violate every agreement, do everything
that they're not supposed to do.

Speaker 31 (01:40:56):
National security analyst Ed Tarzanski says Obama and Biden paid
for for Iran to become nuclear competent, and even with sanctions,
Iran's capabilities have surpassed expectations.

Speaker 16 (01:41:06):
Sponians are in a position to have multiples of nuclear weapons,
So I think all of the choices at this point
are extraordinarily bad.

Speaker 1 (01:41:16):
He says.

Speaker 31 (01:41:16):
Our underfunding of the military makes this a huge threat.

I love those old Buicks seven at that time here
on Houston's Morning News used to make those buicks in
Buick City, Flint, Michigan, big manufacturing home. In fact, that's
all they had in Flint basically was General Motors without GM.
There there's no Flint. You know, it's just horrible. A
lot of people moved away from that area because there

(01:42:26):
is not a lot of opportunity. But eight thousand people
showed up at the Trump rally, not only eight thousands inside,
eight thousand outside. They couldn't get in, So why were
they there? Let's listen, Well, I have to be here
for Trump.

Speaker 32 (01:42:40):
They just tried to assassinate him again. And I was
there in Butler, and I'm having like a lot of
PSTD suns Butler in this I have to come out
here and show that I'm strong too, because this man's
out here taking bullets for us.

Speaker 1 (01:42:55):
So I have to be strong too.

Speaker 33 (01:42:59):
Yeah, I'm concerned for everyone's safety on both sides. The
country is so divided right now, and both political parties
are so divisive, and I'm hoping that Donald Trump will
bring this country back together somewhere where we can unite
around a common goal.

Speaker 26 (01:43:14):
I'm here for Donald Trump. He is my man, He's
my president. He is the chosen one in my book,
and that's why I'm here. I've been volunteering for Donald
Trump all three times he ran, and I will continue
until he is president. I am concerned about Donald Trump's safety,

(01:43:35):
but I believe God has his back. He showed it
twice that he has his back, and I pray he
continues to have his back. Do I think that I'm
at jeopardy? Maybe, But guess what, I'll die for my country.

Speaker 1 (01:43:53):
Okay, well, there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:43:54):
Is this a typically a Democrat voter area. I mean,
you'd think that with all the cars in manufacturing unions
and all that.

Speaker 1 (01:44:02):
Yeah, United Auto Workers.

Speaker 5 (01:44:03):
But you know, boy, is that a flip.

Speaker 1 (01:44:05):
The membership has flipped in the last in the last
twenty years, the membership is well even more than that,
going back to Reagan, I think is when you really
saw the big flip of membership going from Democrat to
UH to to Republican, and that that hasn't changed. The
union leadership is still very much Democrat, but not not
the rank and file.

Speaker 5 (01:44:24):
Boy, he knew he was among his own though. I
tell you what he was just like he was kissing
distance to people. It was a crowd. It was like
being at a professional baseball basketball Yeah, playoff game. I mean,
people are just elbow to elbow.

Speaker 1 (01:44:40):
An enthusiastic at making a making a lot of noise.
Yeah you don't. You don't see that level of enthusiasm
on the left to you. So that's why they have
to make up for it with Do.

Speaker 5 (01:44:50):
You honestly believe Kamala Harris would be allow herself to
be surrounded by people taking selfies?

Speaker 33 (01:44:57):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:44:57):
No, he stopped and he talked to people.

Speaker 1 (01:45:00):
And do you think she would ever do a town
hall with voters? No, of course not. She's not going
to answer those questions. Diver, Traffick and weather together. We're
ready to check out the drive.

Hey Skuy, Mike, flip those Wesors down, Jimmy and Chera,
let's go inbound. Here's one for you, Terry Katie Freeway.
It's just a lot of breaks. We had a stall

we're back. It didn't help, but we're backed up from
Grham Parkway. That's twenty extra minutes in Grand Marcher's two
ninety backed up Huffmeister to Eldridge. You know, we're a

Fifty two now on news Radio seven forty K. T
Irah's headlines are sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance. A group
of Republican senators are demanding from the government equal Secret
Service protection for Donald Trump. Ratings for ABC World News
Tonight with David Muir they've dropped twelve since the anchor
is exposed bias against Trump in the debate.

Speaker 1 (01:49:04):
And they don't care no, they don't.

Speaker 5 (01:49:07):
They lost a million viewers in just less than a week.
While the House will be voting on funding the government,

Speaker 2 (01:49:37):
KTRH time saving traffic connect on the ten.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
Oh yeah, their ratings lost, that's the easiest. ABC. As
far as answering to the whistleblower and accusations that we've
told you about that the whistleblower had to say Megan
Kelly was riffing on that yesterday or she is.

Speaker 34 (01:49:55):
BBC News finally responded. They finally responded to Kamala Harris
has not responded, and this is what they said. They
gave a statement to The Daily Beast quote. ABC News
followed the debate rules that both campaigns agreed on and
which clearly state no topics or questions will be shared
in advance with campaigns or candidates.

Speaker 5 (01:50:19):
That's it.

Speaker 34 (01:50:22):
We followed the rules which state no topics or debate
questions will be shared in advance. What did you have
private negotiations with Kamala Harris and her campaign? Did you
agree that you would have a special look on stage
from the podium to the split screen situation? Did you
agree that you wouldn't ask about Tony West about her tenure,

(01:50:42):
as ag about her about President Biden's mental fitness and
her role in covering it up.

Speaker 5 (01:50:48):
Did you agree to any of that?

Speaker 34 (01:50:50):
Do you deny that there could possibly be tapes of
an executive or someone at ABC News reiterating that promise
or making it in the first instance so generic and
empty as to cause more concerns than we had yesterday.
It is not a denial that sounds like a truth
telling denial. If I've anchored many presidential debates, as you know,

(01:51:12):
if you ever accused me of any of this, what
I would say is I can categorically deny that we
did any of this. Now, I'd have to look at
the executives at Fox News for behind the scenes negotiations
with the campaigns, because we as anchors didn't do that,
but they'd have to tell me as the anchor, if
I wasn't allowed to ask certain questions, I'd have to

(01:51:34):
share with them my specific questions so that they could
be forwarded on write the sample questions, so I'd know at.

Speaker 5 (01:51:40):
Least that that had happened.

Speaker 34 (01:51:42):
I mean, I could honestly say, back in that twenty
sixteen debate or fifteen debate that's so famous now between
Trump and the others and yours truly and Brett and Chris,
I kept my questions like this. I mean there are
Roger Hills never saw them. He was very angry with
me after that debate because he never saw the questions
and he was pissed off. In any event, this is

(01:52:03):
a non denial denial.

Speaker 1 (01:52:05):
Yep, that's exactly what it is. An ABC's David Muir,
by the way, says, all this controversy, it's just noise,
just noise.

Speaker 5 (01:52:13):
Well, there's still number one in that time slot, you know,
among the networks.

Speaker 1 (01:52:17):
But like I said, there's some liberals.

Speaker 5 (01:52:18):
I'm sure now it's the beginning of the end. Maybe
I don't know a single person's reputation to be so
biased and call yourself a news person, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:52:26):
Or journalist. Yeah, they certainly have stretched the bounds of
what a quote unquote journalist is. Listen, y'all, have a
great day. We'll see tomorrow morning, bright nearly five am.
I'll see you this afternoon four on AM nine to
fifty KPRC
