Good morning, five o two on news Radio seven forty

here in Houston, not giving many details about their series
of rays all across the Houston area yesterday. They were
aided by local law enforcement and agents served search warrants
related to illegal gambling and gaming machines at more than
fifteen locations, the FBI only calling it a sweeping court

(02:12):
authorized operation, saying they could not release any further details.
Violent crime is continuing to rise all across this country,
and it seems almost daily, yet another news story breaks
about a suspect out on bond committing yet another crime

Eh locally Fort Benn County Commissioner candidate Terrell Patel has
been charged with multiple felonies now relating to creating an
online several actually fake identities that he then used to
create an online racism hoax.

Speaker 10 (03:25):
What he would do is he would send racist statements
to different individuals or posts, simply post racist statements online
and then claimed to be my supporter.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Fort Ben Precinc. Three Commissioner Andy Meyer, who got put
out about that scam. He told KT ERH Fort Ben
County Judge KP. George may actually have been involved himself
in the scandal.

Speaker 11 (03:47):
He said. If that's true, George should resign.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
US House Foreign Affairs Committee voted twenty six twenty five
ooh narrow vote along party lines to recommend that the
Secretary of State Antony Blincoln Bey held in contempt of
Congress for refusing repeatedly to testify about the twenty twenty
one withdrawal from Afghanistan. Committee chair Michael McCall says he
gave Lincoln every chance to comply.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
For four months.

Speaker 12 (04:14):
I patiently asked for and waited on his availability.

Speaker 13 (04:18):
In September.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
McCall says Blncoln's office ignored his requests for those months,
and he's also refused to turn over requested documents that
the FBI is holding in his final address to the
United Nations General Assembly, President Biden spoke about his decision
to drop out of the presidential race.

Speaker 12 (04:41):
It was a difficult decision. Being president has been the
honor of my life. There's so much more I want
to get done. As much as I love the job,
I love my country war.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Biden also have defended the way his regime withdrew from
Afghanistan and called for continued support for Ukraine. Former President
and Donald Trump last night was in Savannah, Georgia, talking
specifically about his plans to make the economy great again.
Trump says he wants to take other countries' jobs away.

Speaker 14 (05:11):
Well, create millions and millions of massively raised wages for
American workers, and make the United States into a manufacturing
powerhouse like it used to be many years ago.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
And Trump also said he will quickly unlock the energy
potential in the United States by allowing more drilling and
fracking and removing all of the impediments to doing that.
He also said he will keep the US auto industry
strong by putting a one hundred percent tariff on every
car manufactured and imported, with no taxes from Mexico and

(05:49):
is if the Biden Harris inflation weren't bad enough. New
data now shows that most Americans haven't received a pay
raise since Trump was in office.

Speaker 15 (06:00):
Here are the bad news comes courtesy of the annual
Census reports.

Speaker 16 (06:04):
Their earnings just haven't been able to keep up with
its Bidenomics or Kamaloomics, or whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 15 (06:10):
That's Texas based economist Vance Ginn. The number show that
twenty twenty three real household incomes remained below twenty nineteen
pre pandemic levels.

Speaker 16 (06:21):
People haven't improved their life over the last four years.
Nearly sixty percent of Americans believe we're in a recession.
They just haven't been able to keep up with the
soaring prices all around them.

Speaker 15 (06:31):
The reality is Americans are much worse off than they
were four years ago. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty
kt ORH now.

Speaker 11 (06:40):
Five oh six.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well, have you noticed all different types of appliance are
under attack in this country now with the new wacky
regulations from the Biden Harris regime.

Speaker 17 (06:51):
These regulators suddenly have power to impact every aspect of
your life without any input from the Congress, from the
American people. It's very similar to what we saw during.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
COVID Daniel Turner, founder executive director of Power the Future.
He says, congressional leaders better step up for the American
people against this level of authoritarianism. It's now five h
seven Astros fans, well, we're celebrating this morning, even at

The two teams wrapping up their series with a day
game today, live coverage noon on Sports Talk seven to ninety.
I'm Sheppah Fryar and Jimmy wants to speak on News
Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
No, honey, thanks for waking me up to tell me.

Speaker 11 (07:59):
I didn't even have a note left.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
I live in Conrad. I lived in Deer Park.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Next on the ten your Reliable Forecast on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Consider confidence Index tumbling in September to ninety eight point seven.
That's down from one oh five point six at August.
Does the largest one month drop since August of twenty
twenty twenty. No August of twenty twenty one. Actually, all
five components measured by the organization dropped in the September report.
What people seem to be most concerned about is the

(08:35):
labor market. They're seeing signs that their company is getting
ready to maybe lay people off. Getting a new job
is not as easy as it once was, so that's
that's starting to play in people's minds. Doesn't take a lot.
You put together high prices with the fear of losing
your job, and you can see why confidence can really
go down. The report was far off what Wall Street

(08:58):
economists anticipated. They thought it would only fall from one
on five point six to one oh four. Feel a
lot further than that biggest category drop. Why am I
having our time because my wife woke me up? It
and get enough sleep. The biggest categorical drop came with
consumers between the ages of thirty five and fifty four
and people making less than fifty thousand dollars a year.

(09:19):
Reports said confidence declined across most income groups. Those making
one hundred thousand dollars or more remain the most positive
about the economy. I would think that'd be true with
every report. The more you make, the more confidence you
are right, but I'm sure Banks Retailer is nervous, right
because here we're getting ready to go into the holiday
shopping season, and that's not when you want consider confidence

(09:40):
to be low. You wanted to be high. So it
looks like people are showing signs of cutting back and
maybe in a big way. We'll see five ten time
for traffic and weather together, are feeling competent this morning,
Sky Mike, I'm feeling.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Pretty good on most of our freeways. We look like
we're almost ready for the holiday these Now, let's go
to the Grand Parkway North Terry. I got your golf ball.
We're looking between two forty nine and I forty five Woodlands.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
We're in good shape here.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
If you're going from the other side, Let's go all
the way back past New Caney, look around coming up.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
From Dayton, and we look good.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
If you're somebody's butler and tomball, you've got an easy
drive this morning. The Beltway, well, let's talk about the
West Sam for now.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I like to see things nice and.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
Relaxed from the horse Track down to IS sixty nine north.

Speaker 4 (10:26):

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Tarrace wall folders.

Speaker 9 (10:46):
And see whether they're gonna finish this lane. Closures of beltway.

Speaker 19 (10:50):
Hey, I don't see work.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
That's a lifestyle. You bring up a good point, because
I'll tell you what. If I'm ever in charge of
the traffic world, We're gonna do too things here in Houston.
We're gonna close one count it one freeway at a
time on the weekend.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
That's it. And the other rule I'd have is, if you.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Got it closed down, there's gotta be somebody work in it.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
That would be a skylike rule.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
I'm in a Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic center.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
You like that, Terry? Is that a good rule?

Speaker 17 (11:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Those are all good rules for Markatirah Top tax Defenders
twenty four hour Whether Center. Terry Smith is here.

Speaker 13 (11:21):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
They's got a strange day. From in the afternoon right
around the Loop in Points South, it was just pouring
down rain like nobody's business. And then where I am
up around Spring nothing absolutely nothing.

Speaker 20 (11:34):
That's the nature of these thunderstorms. I mean they're scattered.
They'll show up in some places and other folks won't
get a drop, or they'll get a drop, and that's it.
So we've got one more day of that and then
some dryer air moves in a little less humidity. It'll
be a nice change pace and slightly cooler temperatures as well.

(11:54):
Forty percent chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Jimmy, since you
had your rain today, I'm declaring you rain free today.
We're going to share that with someone else today. Upper
eighties to mid nineties this afternoon. Thirty percent chance of
submarine this evening. We're going to dry it out later tonight.
Sunshines back tomorrow through the weekend. Nice comfortable day tomorrow,

(12:15):
mid to upper eighties, and then just slightly warmer Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday uper eighties to low nineties through the weekend.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
All right, before you go, what's the latest on Helen.

Speaker 20 (12:24):
Well, Helene's still a tropical storm, but strengthening a little bit.
Sixty five mile an hour winds down there near the
Yucatan Peninsula, so it's about thirty six hours away from
making landfall somewhere along northeast Florida around the coast there
and expected to become a major hurricane. And between the

(12:47):
storm search is always a big factor in that part
of the Gulf of Mexico. So there's going to be
a lot of high water rises from Apalachicola down into Tampa.
But the winds and the rain and power outages, that's
going to be widespread, not only in Florida, but it
looks like up into parts of Georgia, maybe even Alabama
as well.

addressed the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday for the final
time as president. Regarding the war in Ukraine, he said
Russian President Putin's war has failed, and he doubled down
on his support for the non NATO member Ukraine.

Speaker 12 (20:58):
We cannot grow where, we cannot look away, and we
will not let up on our support for Ukraine.

Speaker 26 (21:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
The President also spoke of the war in Gaza. He

another atrocity like the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel October seventh.
Donald Trump making remarks in Georgia yesterday, listing the tax
plans that he will implement if he wins back to

We will put a one hundred percent tariff on every single.

Speaker 27 (21:44):
And tell them the only way they'll get rid of
that tariff is if They want to build a plant
right here in the United States, with you people operating
that plant.

Speaker 6 (21:52):
Donald Trump's going to be in Houston next week attending
a private fundraiser at an undisclosed location. He's already raised
twenty nine million dollars in Texas for his twenty four campaign.
US Attorney General Mary Garland says the investigation into the
second assassination attempt on Donald Trump is far from over.

Speaker 11 (22:12):
Further additional charges will soon be filed.

Speaker 9 (22:16):
All of our top priority should be ensuring that accountability
occurs in this.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
Case, and those charges were filed additional weapons charges as
well as attempted assassination of a political figure. It carries
life in federal prison if convicted. State of Florida, by
the way, also pursuing its own potential charges of attempted murders,
so there may be two prison sentences in the offing

if found guilty.

Democrats like to call themselves progresses. We know that they
keep beating us over the head with it. The real problem, though,
is they're not. And the problem is the Uniparty and Shira.

Speaker 15 (23:00):
The Uniparty really hates change, the real movement, the real change,
the real change maker is Donald Trump, and it's the
MAGA movement that is host and Republicans strategist Matt Locke,
who says Trump is the true progressive.

Speaker 28 (23:18):
We're not really running against a Kamala Harris. We're running
against a machine. We're running against a system. You don't
get rid of the cogs, you burn down the system
or drain.

One of the big problems with our border and the
invasion that's happening. The US Census Bureau is miscounting the
populations of certain states and they are adding in numbers
of illegal aliens as being American citizens.

Speaker 29 (23:57):
The issue is not that they vote, but that they
count for congressional divisions. And I, personally, I have always
felt that this is wrong.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Yeah, well, Congress wouldn't change is Silvioconto Junior. There is
a political analyst, contributor to the American thinker, hoping something
would come out of an investigation that has been launched
now by the House Oversight Committee. Donald Trump has pledged
to begin the largest mass deportation operation in American history.
It's just part of his plan to close the border

(24:29):
and return America's sovereignty.

Speaker 7 (24:33):
According to a new poll, fifty four percent of people
support that proposal.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
There's significant support.

Speaker 9 (24:38):
The key part is doing that in such a way
that you don't turn off the public, you know, through
mats rates or anything like that.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
Arthur with the Center for Immigration Study says that in reality,
the whole operation wouldn't be very dramatic.

Speaker 9 (24:50):
Ice DHS knows where the people who are under final
orders of removal ar All they really need to do
is to go knock on the door, pick them up,
and begin that deportation process.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
Arthur says that beginning the process of deportations is critical
to restoring legitimacy to our immigration system. Ethan Buchanan News

of this month unless they get a new contract, and
that would impact our delivery of bananas, pineapples, grapes, and more.

(25:37):
The cost to this country could be roughly five billion
dollars a day. I thought they flew a bunch into Houston.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
I think they do through Florida.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Yeah yeah. Five thirty six is our time. An investigation
by the Detroit Free Press revealing that many recalled vehicles
are never repaired and millions of them could be on
the roads, maybe broken down on the roads.

Speaker 30 (26:01):
I don't know that anybody knows the exact number, but
it is common, and the more recalls there are, the
more common it becomes.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Jerry Reynolds, host of the Car Pro Show, says many
drivers simply ignore recalls or maybe don't realize that their
vehicles have been recalled for repair. Five thirty seven is
our time. Those stros that came from behind the Mariners
last night to clinch.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Fans are ready to explode to two.

Speaker 18 (26:28):
Say you got an ask, struck it out the winners
and still als champions, But Houston ast.

Speaker 6 (26:36):
Rules Robert Ford with a call you heard it here
on kt RH last night. The team's going to wrap
up their series with the Mariners this afternoon, and live
coverage will be on SportsTalk seven ninety beginning at noon.
I'm Sheriff Ryer on news radio seven forty k T rh.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Info at this speed of Houston right now, Houston's Morning
News continues with Jimmy Bear attend Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 11 (27:02):
German economy is.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
In trouble because of their energy situation. They went all
green and boy did they ever mess up.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, And I think Volkswagen went along with the crowd
there and started producing a whole bunch of evs and
they're not having ay luck selling those evs. The Europeans
don't want the evs anymore than we do. And to
further back that up, north of Volt, one of the
largest ther Swedish company, one of the largest manufacturers of
ion technology batteries lithium batteries, they are getting ready to

(27:29):
lay off sixteen hundred people. That's one out of every
four in Sweden who work for them. Four hundred and
two hundred positions will all be eliminated at three different
facilities there. The expansion of the factory to produce the
batteries has been put on hold. According to Northvolt, the
purpose of the cost cutting measures to concentrate efforts on

(27:50):
the production of battery cells at one company in particular,
one facility in particular. Company highlights it has managed to
triple production at that one facility, which had been previously
a significant concern. But the end of at the end
of the day, they don't need to produce as many
batteries because again, you've got a bunch of EV's that
are just sitting in dealerships in Europe and Germany in

(28:12):
particular and are not selling. So there you go. I mean, luckily,
I think most American automotive manufacturers, even though a lot
of them like General Motors, have brought into EV technology.
I did not remember me telling you about that one
dealership that I saw where they had all the EV's
were all front and center with with all the signage
directing you towards the EV's and and the things that

(28:34):
people actually wanted to buy were all out.

Speaker 11 (28:35):
On the line.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
They've done a one eight on that same dealership. All
those all the EV signs are down. I mean, they
still have an EV on the floor, but they've brought
in you know that the the higher selling you to Germany.
I've not been to Germany, though.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Audubonds were just incredible. Anywhere you could get an Audubon
and zoom zoom.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Zooms, any place you could drive as fast as you
lawns all.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
Can imagine, you know, electric I know that some like
Tesla's they go really fasting fast.

Speaker 11 (29:06):
How far do they go? Does it take? Does it
burn more juice to go fast?

Speaker 4 (29:09):
I would think it's more gas? You think so, I
would think so.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
So maybe you can make it just a few miles
down the automo at that speed.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
I mean, I wonder how that works.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
I don't know. I don't know. Five forty time for
traffic and whether together.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Who would be very happy driving in Germany?

Speaker 4 (29:25):
I would be very happy driving in the auther.

Speaker 11 (29:27):
Bus, happy driving aub and Germany.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
Pretty sure I'd be a good fit for the AUTOBHND.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
Imagine a place where you couldn't be pulled over?

Speaker 5 (29:35):
Make my dust toney, wow, I have traffic court next week.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
By the way, all right for forty.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Five North Freeway southbound, UH forty five we got to
we got some kind.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Of back quarter slip mark from spring on forty.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
Five southbound left lane the overpast over jick Hilt.

Speaker 31 (29:54):
There are five cars involved in another bender.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
I've got Parker, but I understand, and you know, sometimes
you look up you see the sign after you see
the wreck. Let's call it two left lanes here, and
my friends with the government tell me that two of
those vehicles have now drove up. We still have a
back order slip coming down from west Mount Houston on
the inbound.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
I'm Skymike on the classically elite GMC Traffic Center from
r KTRH Generators Supercenter twenty four hour whethers under Terry
Smith is here keeping an eye on Helene as the
whole world is right now still protecting a late in
the day Thursday, lentfil Yes.

Speaker 20 (30:32):
Late afternoons sometime in the evening is the current thinking
at the moment. We'll see if that changes. Helene is
still a tropical storm and down near the Yucatan Peninsula,
so a good distance away from the United States, but
apparently not far enough. With it moving out into the
Gulf and the sheer winds ease up and all that

(30:56):
very warm moisture the waters in the Gulf of Mexico,
this thing is going to rapidly intensify into a major
hurricane by sometime tomorrow. So in the next twenty four hours,
make landfall between appleach Cola and certainly north of Tampa.
It really looks like that Big Bend area is going

(31:16):
to take the hit and move pretty quickly inland. So
that not only will Florida including Central Florida and northeastern
Florida as well as the Panhandle with the heavy rain
in the wind, but that's going to be making its
way into Georgia, parts of Alabama, and some of that
heavy rain into Tennessee and sections of Kentucky as well.

Speaker 11 (31:37):
So we're watching this.

Speaker 20 (31:39):
This is going to be a big mess for a
lot of states, especially for for Florida.

Speaker 11 (31:43):
Our weather is fairly quiet.

Speaker 20 (31:45):
We do have some rain later this afternoon, a forty
percent chance of thunderstorms. Temperatures today still running warmish. As
the front moves through upper eight east to mid nineties tomorrow,
you'll notice the drop in temperature a sunny day mid
to upper eighties. The weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday no rain.
Temperatures will be close to ninety through the weekend.

This is Houston's morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions five fifties our time here in Houston's
morning news, President Trumpe has promised, if elected, there will
be a mass deportation of illegal aliens. Fifty four percent
according to a Script's IPSOS poll agree with that fifty
four percent support of mass deportation. Is it even possible?

(32:37):
And if so, how do you achieve it? More than
that story coming up next. First, though, let's do traffic
and weather together as we check out that vibe once again.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Here's sky Mike co.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
Trackting inages have struck on the North Freeway. They've got
all five vehicles out. Actually, I think two of them
walked off on their own power. The other three had
to be hauled away. That was inbound at Parker. We
still have about a six minute back back back order
slip coming down from west Mount, Houston. Mike from Magne
Only is on my tip line.

Speaker 17 (33:01):
Hey, Mike, gim bound is like an auto bonn just like.

Speaker 26 (33:12):
Junior from Dayton, Dude got Mike shide from the road
working Crosby still going on coming out of downtown. One
at Mercury'stones, there's a truck with a cargo field at
Decker underneath the bridge, no light, doing something with a trailer.
Then when you get to John Ralston, there's a deserted
boat sitting there on the shoulder with no lights.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Good Lord, all right Decker, he means three thirty. It's
a good thing.

Speaker 5 (33:35):

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Power by hour.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
There's much to learn. Keep listening a critical moment. You'll
keep learning. We will learn lessons from this.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Use Radio seven forty KTRH fifty four percent again, according
to the script's IPSOS, polls support mass deportation. Art Arthur's
with US Center for Immigration study for a lot of
people say, well, how are you going to You're not
going to have mass roundups? How are you going to
make this happen. There's a lot of ways you can
encourage people who are here illegally to go back home,
don't you.

Speaker 9 (35:29):
Think, Yeah, there really are, Jimmy, and thank you for
having me today. You know. The first thing to do
is to frame as people talk about all their twenty
million illegal aliens in the United States.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
We've looked at the numbers.

Speaker 9 (35:40):
We've broken down the census figures, and the Center for
Immigration Studies is determined there's somewhere between thirteen and fifteen million.
We used to be able to do with a lot
more specificity, but the Biden Harris administration has released five
point six million illegal border migrants into the United States,
so that's kind of skewed the figures. But here's the
important thing to focus on, Jimmy. When you're talking about

(36:03):
that number, about one point twenty nine million, more than
one point two nine million of those people are actually
under final orders are removal. They've received due process, they're
ready to go. All that ICE has to do is
send them a letter or pay a visit to their house,
knock on the door.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
And I've been.

Speaker 9 (36:19):
Involved in this for thirty years. Most of those people
when the time comes, they just go. You don't even
have to chase them. They are ready to go. But
the more important thing, and again remember we're not really
clear even how many of the how many people are here,
is that the Immigration and Nationality Act gives every set
to homeland security, including the current Alejandro maw York is

(36:41):
the ability to create a registry program to require every
alien who doesn't have a green card in the United
States to register within ninety days, and if they fail
the register, they are subjects to federal punishment six months
in on one thousand dollars. Fine, now you know the

(37:03):
threat of being in a federal correctional institution for six
months as a way of concentrating the mind and the
belief is that if you require people to actually you know, register,
get their fingerprints, see where they're living, a lot of
those people will leave. In fact, we saw that happen
in the way of September eleventh, there was a special

(37:23):
registry program called end Series. It was controversial because it
only focused on aliens from Muslim countries. But when fifteen
hundred Pakistani nationals were deported who registered under end seers,
we know that another fifteen thousand of them actually left.
So you know, there are mechanisms in place.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
There are tools that.

Speaker 9 (37:44):
Don't involve you know, cops in body armor with guns,
you know, drawn, And that's.

Speaker 6 (37:50):
For the criminals. That's for the known criminals. I heard
Tom Homan speak here in Houston, and he said, look,
you round up the criminals, you shut down the border,
you stop employers. I'm hiring illegal aliens that they don't
have a way of making a living. They're going to
self deport, They're going to go back home. Stop the
remittenness back to Mexico so they can't come up here
and send their money back home.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Don't issue work for metsin, don't don't give them, don't
give them government benefits.

Speaker 22 (38:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (38:15):
Absolutely, And you know, when you think about the wage
differential between the United States and a lot of the
countries that these folks are coming from, there's a ten
to one wage difference. Folks have been working here for
a year, two years, They've already made about twenty years
worth of wages. And Tom is absolutely correct, and not
that I would ever say that Tom is wrong.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
There are going to be some bad people.

Speaker 9 (38:37):
You're going to have to show up, you know, wearing
battle raddle, knocking on the door, ready to knock in
the door for people that you know, have you know,
sex offenses, murder, you know, serious assaults. But for the
vast majority of people, you simply tell them it's time
to go, that you're enforcing the law, you take away
their ability to work, and most of them are probably

(38:58):
going to go. But you know, a lot of people
on both the left are primarily on the left, but
some on the right always you know, talk about how
difficult this is. We just don't have the resources, we
don't have the ability. And the reason that they say
that is because they want amnesty, sure they do. They
want us to simply throw up our hands and say
this is impossible, we can't do it.

Speaker 13 (39:18):
We can do it.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah, we've done it in the past.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
You're right, and we could do it again.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
All right, Art, we're out of time, but thank you
so much, Art, Arthur Center for Immigration Studies. It's five
fifty seven.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Now, the latest news, weather, it's more of what matters
to you. From the John Morris Services Studios.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Six am. Now here in Houston's borning News. I'm Jimmy
Barrett along with Sheriff Ryer among our top stores this
f are gambling raids and repeat offenders. A lot of
us haven't gotten a raise post Trump, and coming up
at six o' eight, the list of bankrupt clothing retailers
continues to grow. Oh details in the minutes ahead here
in Houston's morning news. First, we're checking out that morning

(40:05):
drive again with sky my east side I ten East Freeway.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
That makes sense. At John Raston that is just a
loose boat. It's not free, but watch out.

Speaker 4 (40:13):

Speaker 11 (40:17):

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Yet he is. Tell me we need electrician in here
post haste. From our KTRH top tax defenders. Twenty four
hour weather center for today, Partly cloudie this morning, scattered
shower and storm chances this afternoon right about ninety for
the height today. We'll get to the complete forecast when
we talk to Terry Smith at the Weather Channel in
eight minutes right now seventy five at your official severe
weather station, News Radio seven forty k TRH. It's time

(40:43):
now for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
It's now six oh two on news Radio seven forty.
KTRH is News sponsored by All Star Construction. Top story
this hour organized crime increasing in Houston and finally noticed
by the FEDS. On Tuesday, the FBI led raids of
over a dozen games rooms in Houston and Galveston County,
seizing machines at all these locations of what the FBI
would only call a quote sweeping court authorized operation. No

(41:10):
arrest were made, but gaming machines were sees. So where
does it go from here? Criminals committing more crimes while
out on bond, anyway, continues to be the result of
Democrat courts. In Harris County, for instance, even after testing
positive for drugs, defendants still allowed to roam the streets.

Speaker 8 (41:29):
That is an issue that really needs to be looked at,
is what's happening to defendants who are out on bond
and who are violating their bond but there's no actions
being taken.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
Andy Cohn with Crime Stoppers telling KTRH they're currently looking
at multiple pieces of legislation that they will push next session.
They're going to try to stop this. A thirty eight
year old Brazoria County man has been executed the fourth
Texas Death Row inmate executed so far this year is
Travis Mullis, convicted of a just heinous two thousand and

(42:03):
eight capital murder, the stomping death of his three month
old baby's son. The body of Elijah was found dumped
alongside Seawall Boulevard in Galveston. Fort Ben County Judge KP.
George under fire now for his alleged involvement in an
online racial hoax that actually led to the arrest of

(42:25):
his former chief of staff.

Speaker 10 (42:28):
It paints that all of us as racist, and that's
going to make it. You know, we're trying to attract
major industry investments for good paying jobs here in forming County.
That's going to make that more difficult.

Speaker 6 (42:38):
Yeah, that's Fort Bin County Precinct three Commissioner Andy Meyer,
who was a target of some of this hoax. He
told kg RH that if KP. George, the judge, is
guilty of being involved in this scandal, he should resign
his seat. President Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly yesterday,
the final time as president, and he talked about conflicts

(43:00):
in the Middle East, calling for Iran, calling out Iran
for escalating tension in the region.

Speaker 12 (43:09):
Progress towards peace will put us in a stronger position
to do with the ongoing.

Speaker 4 (43:13):
Threat posed by Iran.

Speaker 12 (43:15):
Together, we must deny oxygen to territorist terrorist proxies which
have called for more October seventh, and ensure that Aram
will never ever obtain a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
Yeah right, Well, they feed a lot of missiles to terrorists.
Don't forget that. It's not tension in the region's actual war.
The President vowed to continue support for Ukraine, a non
NATO member, you know, saying Russia Putin's war, he says,
has failed. Donald Trump talking about his plans for our

(43:47):
economy in Savannah, Georgia, he wants to take other countries
jobs away from them.

Speaker 14 (43:54):
Well, create millions and millions of massively raised wages for
American work that make the United States into a manufacturing
powerhouse like it used to be many years ago.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
In other words, manufacture here instead of in other countries.
He said he will unlock our energy potential, allowing more drilling, fracking,
release all of those strictures that are placed upon the
war on fossil fuel. And he said he's going to
keep the US auto industry strong by putting a one

(44:29):
hundred percent tariff on every car that is manufactured elsewhere
and brought in with no tax now from Mexico. Annual
census reports just released, and the data shows that most
Americans have not been able to keep up with inflation
because they haven't received a pay raise since Trump was
in office.

Speaker 16 (44:50):
Over the last few years since the Trump administration, what
we've seen is that inflation has continued to soar because
of the bad policy's been in place by the bi
in Harris administration along with the fetter.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
Reserve economists van skin there. The high prices have led
to more debt and fewer people can actually afford private
health insurance now and the government run stuff isn't cheap
your dishwasher, furnace AC unit. They're under new regulations soon
being ordered by the Biden Harris regime. And you've had

(45:24):
no say in this.

Speaker 17 (45:27):
None of these were made by engineers, by manufacturers, by
industry itself. Again, these are just arbitrary rules that are
made for political decision.

Speaker 6 (45:39):
Yeah, made by the bureaucracy. That's the founder and executive
director of Power of the Future, Daniel Turner. He says
most of these are slated to go into effect by
twenty twenty eight. Can we reverse them. It is now
six oh seven. Green agenda, admittedly improven, is proven now
to be hurting low income families the most.

Speaker 31 (46:00):
Host the cost of providing energy is going to go up.
Those things always fall proportionately more on the lower income
groups because they have less of flexibility to play with,
but they also hit middle income groups as well well.

Speaker 11 (46:14):
That's economist Ray Pairriman.

Speaker 6 (46:15):
He says, the cost of energy goes up if you
only have green energy, and the demand for it, regardless
of how it's provided, is going to be increasing significantly,
and that means cost due too. It was a four
to three victory over the Mariners last night. What a
game that Houston Astros won their fourth straight American League

(46:37):
West Division title last night. The clubhouse celebration after the win,
the Astros GM Jo Aspot has said, well, they had
the right attitude this season.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
The key was staying together. We stayed together. We're a
good team, we know how to win. We found a
way to win. And now here we go.

Speaker 6 (46:54):
Four games left now in the regular season and the
Stros will wrap up the series with the Mariners this afternoon,
and that live coverage starts at noon on Sports Talk
seven ninety I'm sure, Fryer on news radio seven forty
krhe HT two.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
It's US Radio seven KGRH on FM Houston's u's Weather,
Traffic and Talk at ninety nine one HT two.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
Born does I mean we don't exactly work in a
formal setting here at the radios that statement, he said
while wearing a T shirt and shorts, So I don't
really You can imagine me wearing a tux if it
makes you feel better, But at the end of the day,
we're pretty casually dressed around here. But it's been a really,
really difficult time economically for clothing retailers. We've had a

(47:40):
ton of bankruptcies since twenty twenty. It all kind of
started with the pandemic shore. Remember that when when you
didn't have to go to the office anymore, Well, if
you were required to dress up to go to the office,
and you didn't have to go to the office, you
didn't need to go out buy suits and ties and
you know, nice clothes because you could just work from home.
So that's when it really hit places like A Birks, Others,

(48:00):
New York and Company, Men's Warehouse, Joseph A. Banks. They
all filed bankruptcy during that period, and most of them
have struggled since then because there's not that many occasions
that call for you to dress up anymore.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
Well, I mean you gatherings were you couldn't get dressed up,
you couldn't go to church. I mean think about that nationally, right.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
Well, and we went from it started to hit even
more casual clothing retailers J C. Penny, Neiman, Marcus Lord,
and Taylor Stein Mart. They all end up in bankruptcy court,
you know, because people just generally stopped buying clothes. Now
we've got RU twenty one. They filed for Chapter eleven
in May. They shut down all their five hundred and
forty locations nationwide. And there's another one called soft Light.

(48:40):
They're getting ready to liquid date. They're shutting down the
remaining twenty eight stores in ten states because of a
lack of sales. People just aren't buying. Closed to at
least to.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
Start manufacturing clothes in America again instead of importing. I
think you're going to see a return of some real equality.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
Do you think do you think it's a quality issue.

Speaker 11 (49:00):
I think it's part of it.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
I mean, you know, you buy cheap clothes, y you
buy the cheapest you can find. Sure, Yeah, but they're
all imported.

Speaker 13 (49:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (49:08):
Big box stores are imported.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
Yeah they are. And many of them come from China.

Speaker 11 (49:12):
I know.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
And Donald Trump gets into office and you start manufacturing
in America, I'd rather wear a Maid in the USA
T shirt to any day of the week.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
Sure, six ten time for traffic and together, Well.

Speaker 5 (49:26):
That I'll put that Nativity scene right in my front
yard in the ghetto house.

Speaker 6 (49:29):
I feel like we need to import a lightning rod
to this studio because Sky Mike is physically like three
feet of us.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Now, I'll tell you what if, Michael, If Michael Berry
ends up playing Baby Jesus, I will be there for
opening the night. I promise you, Sky Mike.

Speaker 5 (49:43):
Let's go to the hard work in East Side, all right?
So we have that boat sitting on iten. It's not free.
You can't just go pick it up. It's on the
side of John Ralston. Just watch out.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
I don't know what kind of ninjas are going to
pick this up.

But this is inbound, not outbound Mercury. We cleared it
Junior from Dayton also with the banana sticker on his
hard hat. We had that problem at three thirty. He
called it decker. He meant three thirty. That was some
kind of truck, whether trailer. I think they're about to
pull off now.

Speaker 5 (50:11):
It's a back border slip from Parker to ted Well
I forty five worre slowed by an extra ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
That's out of the way.

Speaker 5 (50:18):
And also it's the sconge on the north sam westbound
at Aldan Westfille.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
We're missing two left lines. It's road construction and it's
a lifestyle Jimmy.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
I'm in the generator of supercenter dot com traffic center
from our KTRH TOMP tax Defenders twenty four hour weather center.

Speaker 4 (50:32):
Terry Smith is here. Last you told us, Terry, sounds
like Helene is going to be hitting Florida while it's
still daylight, and I guess that's a good thing. I'd
rather see what's coming, especially when it's a category three,
than have it hit in the dark. Well.

Speaker 20 (50:45):
I actually believe that it will probably be right around sunset,
maybe even earlier, so we'll see. I'm not liking the
size of this storm coropical storm right now. I'm not
liking the strengthening and I'm not liking the direction it's

(51:05):
headed for a number of reasons. That part of Florida
is extraordinarily susceptible to storm surge. In fact, it's probably
the most sensitive area, an area that floods with the
storm surge very easily.

Speaker 11 (51:20):
So that's going to be one problem.

Speaker 20 (51:22):
But you know, you add all the rain that's a
company at the wind and this stuff extends out. The
wind field is over one hundred and seventy five miles
from the center of the storm, so we're talking if
it makes landfall in Tallahassee, Florida, the winds will be
felt all the way to Jacksonville, Florida on the east,

(51:42):
and perhaps as far west as Pensacola, so practically the
entire width of Florida. So you're talking high winds, heavy rain,
lots of trees, trees with leaves, big power outages. This
is going to be a big problem, and it's likely
to make landfall sometime late afternoon evening hours on Thursday.

(52:08):
We've got some rain not associated with Helene, though. This
is a cold front that's bringing us a forty percent
chance of thunder showers today upper eighty's to mid nineties tomorrow,
We've got a little less.

Speaker 11 (52:20):
Heat in humidity. It'll be a nice little fall day.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
Matt Locke joins us. He is a host and Republican strategist.
We're talking about the Uniparty with him. American thinker thinks
that President Trump is the true progressive running in this race,
if you want to get right down to the definition
of what it is, because he is fighting to topple
the Uniparty in the deep state. What do you make
of that, Matt, Well, they're right.

Speaker 28 (55:05):
I mean he's the head of the populist movement. Trump
is the outsider, and you're watching the government do everything
they can in the Uniparty and the Democrat Party in
the Rhinos to take Donald Trump out.

Speaker 13 (55:16):
They can't have him in power.

Speaker 6 (55:19):
They're not giving up easily this uniparty deep swamp. I mean,
right now they're ifire this warning bell. The DOJ has
about trying to clean up the voter rules, where already
it has been identified that we've got dead people voting in
some states, we've got illegal aliens on the voter rules,
and now is considered racism, and you can't do it.

Speaker 11 (55:41):
It's discrimination.

Speaker 6 (55:42):
You can't take people off the rules, and you run
the risk of the federal government coming after you.

Speaker 11 (55:47):
The individual who's getting involved in this.

Speaker 28 (55:50):
Well, of course, and you noticed last election twenty twenty,
the states that flipped or the swing states we see
like Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin.

Speaker 13 (56:02):
Right before that election, what did the left do?

Speaker 28 (56:05):
They change the laws at the supreme courts of those states.
You can't be doing what the Democrats do, How dare you?

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Well? The thing I think I find particularly frustrating about
this is just how deeply entrenched this all is. I mean,
we're talking about electing one man here and expecting him
to be able to dismantle a bureaucracy that runs so
deep and has been so corrupt for so long. I mean,
how can one man even begin to get that done
short of just emptying every office in Washington, d C.

Speaker 13 (56:37):
Well, that's probably the solution. I know if A.

Speaker 28 (56:39):
Ramaswami talked about it when he was on tour there
with Tucker this last couple of weeks. You run the
risk of not cutting government deep enough. We're running against
a machine. These people, you know, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland,
Alejandro Mariakis, they're all just cogs in this machine.

Speaker 13 (57:01):
You can get rid of them, but the uniparty, the deep.

Speaker 28 (57:04):
State will just replace them with another uniparty or deep
state character. So you've got to cut this deep in,
Tucker Aspabak, is the Democrat Party going to let you
do this? Are they going to impeach Trump? What's going
to happen? It is going to be interesting if and
when Trump is elected to see if he will go
to the necessary steps to cut the deep state.

Speaker 6 (57:26):
When he was elected before twenty sixteen, he basically was
a single person because of bureaucracy. I don't think he
even realized it.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
He knows.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
Now, do you really think that he's the single person?
Or has he got a pailanx now of people who
support him and understand the tough stuff that needs to
be done well.

Speaker 13 (57:44):
I think he does understand.

Speaker 28 (57:45):
I think that's why you're seeing the relationships with an
RFK junior. That's why you're seeing the relationships with a
Tulsa gabber.

Speaker 13 (57:53):
You're seeing Trump take the.

Speaker 28 (57:54):
Necessary steps that he didn't take when he was president
in four years he was in office.

Speaker 13 (58:01):
It's going to be a mighty struggle.

Speaker 28 (58:03):
These folks are not going to give up what they've
been working for for seventy eighty years. This has been
the long game. This is why they're freaking out. This
is why the Unit Party is ending back. Will Trump
do it? I surely hope so. I think he knows
where the bodies are buried.

Speaker 4 (58:20):
Weh I think they think he'll do it, and that's
why they're coming after him so hard. Matt thanks has
always appreciated hosts of Republican strategist. Matt Lockett is six

Our top story this hour.

Speaker 6 (01:01:10):
Joe Biden, addressing the UN General Assembly for the final
time as President, talked about ongoing conflicts in the Middle
East it's all out war pretty much during his remarks,
as well as the war in Ukraine and increased Chinese aggression.
The President told the world leaders in attendance don't lose
hope for the future.

Speaker 12 (01:01:33):
Every age faces its challenges. I saw it as a
young man, I see it today. But we are stronger
than we think. We're stronger together than alone. What the
people call im possible, it's just an illusion.

Speaker 6 (01:01:51):
He ended his remarks explaining is his decision not to
run for reelection.

Speaker 11 (01:01:57):
He said, quote, it was a time for.

Speaker 6 (01:01:59):
A new generation of leadership Donald Trump and Savannah Georgia yesterday,
not blabbing words like hope and change, but giving it
with spagiving it with specific tax and jobs plans that
he will implement back in the White House.

Speaker 14 (01:02:14):
This new American industrialism will create millions and millions of
massively raised wages for American workers and make the United
States into a manufacturing powerhouse like it used to be
many years ago.

Speaker 11 (01:02:30):
He announced it.

Speaker 6 (01:02:31):
One hundred percent tariff on cars manufactured in Mexico coming
in freely across our border, made in the us A.
That's the phrase is sent the crowd into cheers. Ryan
Ruth now officially charged with the attempted assassination of Donald
Trump and additional federal weapons violations too that would set
him up for life in federal person on those charges

(01:02:55):
if convicted. It's all under the jurisdiction this charging of
the federal judge Aleen Cannon in Florida, the one who's
been overseeing the mar A Lago documents rate. Not only
is Donald Trump going up against Kamala Harris and the Democrats.
So he's also been taking on the swamp, the uniparty
in Washington, which is really fighting every effort to change.

Speaker 28 (01:03:19):
We got more Democrats and Republicans moving to the left
than we have Republicans moving to conservatism. So the uniparty,
you can throw both sides in it, were becoming bipartisan
in a very bad way.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
Host and Republican strategist Matt Locke there, he says, MAGA
is now the real progressive movement in America. Since Thiss Bureau,
they've been over counting populations for Democrat states.

Speaker 32 (01:03:48):
The House Oversight Committee is investigating the allegedmiscounts by the
Census Bureau.

Speaker 29 (01:03:52):
The Democrats are trying to use basically illegal immigrants as
people who would count as popular.

Speaker 32 (01:04:00):
Political analysts Silvio Kanto Junior says this is because blue
states are seeing a drop in population and thus a
potential drop in congressional seats.

Speaker 29 (01:04:08):
You're seeing a lot of blue states like California and
New York losing seats because more people are moving to
Texas and Florida and so on.

Speaker 32 (01:04:17):
The committee has sent a letter to the Census Bureau
director Jared Lewis News Radio seven forty khrh Donald drop.

Speaker 6 (01:04:25):
He's got large amounts of support across this country for
mass deportation of illegal aliens, but how can he actually
pull it off?

Speaker 9 (01:04:36):
There are individuals who are still in removal proceedings. We're
going to need to increase the number of resources available
to the Immigration Court so that they can issue those
orders to that ICE can then enforce.

Speaker 6 (01:04:47):
Art Arthur with the Center for Immigration Studies there he
told us that once we start deporting people who've already
been ordered to leave, many of their illegal alien friends
and brethren will simply return home on their own because
they know they're coming to get them. Us could run
out of several popular fruit though yes we have no bananas.

(01:05:07):
The International Longshoreman's Association on the East Coast and here
in the Gulf of Mexico say they will strike at

find out from our former produce manager, sky Mike about
all this. I thought were being flown in to Houston

Speaker 33 (01:05:43):

coastal southeastern Florida counties are now included. And part of
that is we expect effects could reach significantly inland.

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
Forecasters now expecting impacts inland as well along the Gulf
Coast there the Panhandle of Florida expect to make landfall
there sometime Thursday tomorrow night. According to the New Investigators,
there could be millions of vehicles on the road that
are subject to active recalls because the recalls are ignored.

Speaker 30 (01:06:19):
They're serious, they ignored them, or they put the recall
motus on, you know, in their stack somewhere and then
they're going to get to it, and they never do.

Do you know that we're just four weeks away from Halloween?
Can you believe that Halloween is a month away?

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
So here's flying by. But we have our first Halloween
retailer uh oh controversy, uh oh, Spirit Halloween the Dude
the pop up stores all over the country. This story's
out of Norfolk, Virginia, where customers complained about the retailers
selling a punk rock bullet belt accessory as part of
a prep school costume online and in stores. Oh he

(01:07:50):
was available us of last week. I think it was
the connection between the prep school thing and the bullet
belt that it seemed to get everybody bent out of shape.

Speaker 11 (01:07:58):
Yeah, I guess see.

Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
That bracelet, plaid schoolgirl tie and other accessories were on
the same display and the photo that was taken by
a Wavy reporter. That's the TV station in Norfolk. The
gold Belt bullet belt was selling for nine ninety nine. Well,
the punk Rot bullet belt was selling for fourteen ninety
nine online massive home to the US Navy. Yeah, so
they they've they've since taken that down. Is certainly there

(01:08:22):
in Norfolk. I don't know if they've done that nationwide
or not, but they have done that. You know, Here's
what I find interesting that people find bullets offensive as
far as the Halloween costume goes, but nobody cares about
the sluts. There's a slutty everything. There's slutty sludy teachers,
sludy nurses.

Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
It was sort of the excuse when she has been
for years, the excuse to just really go crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
Is it? I mean, you're a woman, to help me
out here? I mean, do women just want to do
these wishes?

Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
See how many times I played a vampire and his
short skirt?

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
Why did you do that? I'm kind of curious about.

Speaker 11 (01:09:02):
It was hip, it was cool, it was you know,
that's what young people do.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
It allowed you to release a part of yourself that
you could normally would keep hidden. Is that the idea?
I think that's the idea behind Halloween for a lot
of people. Right, did you get to you get to
play a character that you don't normally get to play.
Could be I'm not complaint by the way, For the record.

Speaker 11 (01:09:20):
It's just fun to put on long black wigs.

Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
Let me tell you, you can dress as slutt as
you want for Halloween. You're not going to hear any
complaints from me. What was the best costume you ever
did for yourself?

Speaker 11 (01:09:29):
Do you think, Oh, gosh, I can't think. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
My most original one was golf Man.

Speaker 11 (01:09:37):
Golf Man.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
Yeah, I wore like I wore like a mask with
a golf hat and golf attire and had a like
like a almost like a bulletbelt kind of thing, except
instead of being filled with accessories to fight crime, it
was filled with golf teas. I was golf Man.

Speaker 6 (01:09:52):
One of my best Monday friends did when Jaws was big,
made a styrofoam shark.

Tomala Harris is pondering a trip to the Arizona border
with Mexico, which means that she may still call it off.
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick asked about this potential trip, and
he didn't mince any words.

Speaker 19 (01:15:07):
Well, if their goal was to have a terrorist and
criminals and just millions of people coming into our country
illegally and giving them a pass and not knowing where
they're going or who they are or what crimes are committing.
Then they've been very effective because they're undermining our country.
You know, Laura, one of the things that's never talked

(01:15:28):
about in these and I know you've talked about it,
but I want your audience to really get their arms
around this. We have about three hundred thousand children who
have come here illegally and Kamala Harris does not know
where they are, and we can tell you where we
sadly think many of them are, and that is that
they're being forced to have sex five, six, seven times
a day as children or teenagers or young women because

(01:15:50):
they're put into the sex trade industry. How can you
possibly allow hundreds of thousands of children to cross the
border and lose track of them, knowing that you turn
them over to someone that you don't know if they're
a family member, And that's what's happened. Kamala Harris and
Joe Biden are responsible for a sex child trade in

(01:16:11):
this country tonight. And it makes me sick to my
stomach to think what some of these children are enduring,
that are being sex traffic in this country, and Kamala
Harris doesn't care a damn about these children. She says
she cares. President Trump cared about him. He put a
stop to it. He would not have let this happen.
This is outrageous, and people are thinking about who they're

(01:16:32):
voting for. You have complicit a president Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris running for president who purposely and knowingly know
the children that are being a sex traffic in this country,
thousands and thousands.

Speaker 4 (01:16:45):
I hope she does go to the border, because here's
a great opportunity to remind everybody of that.

Speaker 11 (01:16:48):
She'd be far register some more people to vote.

Speaker 4 (01:16:51):

than give the opportunity for the rest of us to

Ktrh Andy Khin joins us from Crime Stoppers. I know
you keep stats and all this kind of stuff, Andy,
but I don't know how specific you are on this.
Do you have an idea about how many people in
Harris County are currently out on bond, awaiting trial and
committing other crimes while they're out.

Speaker 9 (01:34:47):
That's a really good question, Jimmy, and it's hard to
it's hard to gauge because I'm just one person. I
would think that we should have an entity that actually
keeps track of this years ago. The District Attorneys Office
back in twenty twenty one, they kept track and the
numbers were absolutely astounding. So I'm hoping that they do

(01:35:07):
come up with another report that shows how many people
are currently out on bond.

Speaker 13 (01:35:12):
That are reascending.

Speaker 9 (01:35:13):
We just set a segment last night on a crime
that horrified most Ustonians when you had several individuals posing
as food delivery drivers and did a home invasion. Luckily

charged in.

and now he had an officer that was shot. That's
the type of things that we're seeing.

Speaker 6 (01:35:56):
Yeah, you know, normal people just trying to live their line.
You're afraid to even open your door, doorbell rings, somebody
knocks on your door. Even if you look out and
you think, well, they look like they could be real.

Speaker 11 (01:36:08):
You don't know. We're all living in armed encampments. Now.

Speaker 9 (01:36:14):
Basically what you have is, you know, a couple of
years ago collined a phrase called we're in a pandemic.
It's only called a bomb pandemic. And pretty much the
issue that we have right now, our defendants are not
being held accountable when they're on bond and they have
repeatedly violated their conditions of bond. There used to be

(01:36:36):
an adage in Harris County and it was called one
bond per customer. And if you were out of bond
and you had violated your conditions a bond, especially if
you were charged with a new offense while out on bond,
guess what you weren't getting back at again. Sadly, that's
not happening, and that's what we're seeing by repeated offenders

(01:36:57):
who have violated their conditions at bond, but no repercussions.

Speaker 17 (01:37:01):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:37:02):
Even maybe the worst of all this andy is that
there are certain judges that are just very well known
for doing this, and many of them are running on
the post to November. It's not like we can go
to the ballot box and get rid of them because
there's nobody running against them.

Speaker 13 (01:37:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:37:17):
Absolutely. I was kind of dumbfounded when I saw, you know,
a lot of the judges, and I think competition is good,
and I think you would want to have, you know,
somebody you know, not running unopposed and at least have
give everybody the opportunity to make it his decision whether
you want to keep the incumbent judge or you want
to try something else. But that's not happening, and that's
a sad reflection on what's happening to our state of

(01:37:40):
the state of politics and Harris Hanny, you can't even
throw a candidate out there to even make a race
even look like there's going.

Speaker 13 (01:37:48):
To be a race.

Speaker 9 (01:37:49):
So you have judges that are basically going to remain
on the bench.

even incompetent directly that contributed to the July thirteenth attempted

assassination of Donald Trump ninety four pages, specifically citing lack
of chain of command, for coordination with local law enforcement,
and inadequate resources. And so the Democrats, they've called themselves progressives.
I've got a lot of voters who believe it. The
real problem though in Washington is not Democrats Republicans, it's

(01:42:10):
the uniparty.

Speaker 15 (01:42:12):
And Sharra the uniparty really hates change.

Speaker 28 (01:42:16):
The real movement, the real change, the real change maker
is Donald Trump, and it's the MAGA movement that.

Speaker 15 (01:42:24):
Is host and Republicans strategist Matt Locke, who says Trump
is the true progressive.

Speaker 28 (01:42:31):
We're not really running against a Kamala Harris. We're running

count for congressional divisions, and I, personally, I have always
felt that this is wrong, not.

Speaker 6 (01:43:12):
Just congressional divisions, but also electoral college Silvio Kanto Junior.
There is a political analysm contributor to the American Thinker.
He hopes something comes out of an investigation that has
finally been launched by the House Oversight Committee. Donald Trump
pledging to begin the largest's largest mass deportation operation in
American history as he plans to close the border and

(01:43:35):
return American sovereignty.

Speaker 7 (01:43:38):
According to a new poll, fifty four percent of people
support that proposal.

Speaker 4 (01:43:42):
There's significant support.

Speaker 9 (01:43:44):
The key part is doing that in such a way
that you don't turn off the public, you know, through
mass rates or anything like that.

Speaker 7 (01:43:50):
Arthur with the Center for Immigration Study says that in reality,
the whole operation wouldn't be very dramatic.

Speaker 9 (01:43:56):
Ice DHF knows where the people who are under final
order to removal law. All they really need to do
is to go knock on the door, pick them up,
and begin that deportation process.

Speaker 7 (01:44:06):
Arthur says that beginning the process of deportations is critical
to restoring legitimacy to our immigration system. Ethan Buchanan News

Speaker 4 (01:46:22):
T r H found that the Trump ads, or they
ad supporting Trump, are just they're They're much more interesting,
the much more engrossing, They're much more emotional.

Speaker 11 (01:46:32):
They have personality. They do because of the humor.

Speaker 4 (01:46:35):
Have you seen this is not a funny ad. But
have you seen the RFK junior ad about draining the swamp?

Speaker 14 (01:46:41):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:46:42):
Well, here's the audio from it. I think it paints
quite a story.

Speaker 36 (01:46:45):
Everyone has heard President Trump's signature phrase.

Speaker 23 (01:46:48):
Drane the swamp in Washington, DC.

Speaker 36 (01:46:52):
His instinct is spot on. The problem is that in Washington,
it's not just about a few corrupt individuals. It's a
whole crooking system. It's the federal agencies, it's the lobbyists,
it's the think tanks and research organizations. It's the university
and the academic groups and the media. And it's the
corporations that have captured these agencies and turned them into

(01:47:15):
sock puppets for the industries they're supposed to regulate. Well
Lives spent forty years suing almost all of these agencies
in many of the industries, and I know the names
in many of these agencies of the bad actors who
need to be moved out. I understand the perverse incentives
that put agency capture on steroids. I know how this
system is supposed to work protect the public interests, and

(01:47:38):
how it actually works to protect the mercantile interests of
the regulator industries.

Speaker 4 (01:47:43):
That have captured it.

Speaker 36 (01:47:44):
And I know how to fix it. When you sue
an agency, you get a PhDe in corporate capture and
how to unravel it. And that's exactly what I'm going
to do with Donald Trump's backing. Let me tell you
what we're going to do. We're going to appoint honest
officials who don't have caught flicks of interest. We're going
to listen to whistle blowers and act on their revelations.

(01:48:04):
We're going to slam shut the revolving tour that sends
industry executives and lobbyists in and out of government. We're
going to fire anyone who portrays the public trust or
lies to the public. And we're going to prohibit federal
agencies from using their powers to harass political opponents. That's
what it means to drain the swamp. One of my
priorities in Washington will be to make sure that President

(01:48:27):
Trump can follow through on his promise.

Speaker 4 (01:48:31):
Wow, gets your attention. Certainly got my attention anyway. Yep.
I think that its ads like that to scare the
bijeebers out of the left without question. Oh you want
to know why they're coming after him with all assassination
attempts and everything else.

Speaker 6 (01:48:48):
Yeah, and not to mention that, but also the way
they went after Kennedy.

Speaker 11 (01:48:51):
Right for he made the switch.

Speaker 6 (01:48:53):
Exact mean they were already trying to make like some
kind of wacko.

Speaker 4 (01:48:56):

he gave her a hundred bucks for groceries. And he
does things like that all the time. Judge Janine Piro
on the Five talking about.

Speaker 37 (01:53:58):
It, that's Donald Trump being Donald Trump. I mean, you know,
he does that all the time. After dinner, he'll go
into a kitchen and say a load to everybody in
the kitchen and they're all stunned, and he's taking pictures and.

Speaker 1 (01:54:09):
You know, giving them, giving them. He does a.

Speaker 37 (01:54:11):
Lot of things that people don't realize he does.

Speaker 11 (01:54:15):
And he is a showman, there's no question.

Speaker 37 (01:54:17):
But there is also another side of him that a
lot of people haven't seen. But what I loved about
today was I loved listening to Donald Trump talk about
how he was going to improve the economy and what
he was going to do to make sure that he
brought jobs back to the United States. He talked about
reducing corporate taxes on companies from twenty one percent to
fifteen percent if they make their goods in the United States.

(01:54:40):
I mean, he's consistent with his theme of you know,
making America wealthy, safe, strong, and great again. He talked
about research and development tax credits when on US based manufacturing,
and then he talked about special zones federal land with
low regulation where they were going to in and device
companies to come in and make American products. And then

(01:55:03):
he actually talked about a global ambassador to go out
to the world and say, bring those jobs back.

Speaker 1 (01:55:09):
To the United States.

Speaker 37 (01:55:10):
Bring it all back here, Let's do it in America.
And I loved when he said one hundred percent tariffon
cars made of Mexico. If you want someone who is
going to do what a Democrat president has not been
able to do, and that has improved the economy, it
was only when Trump was in office that we have
the consumer confidence and the animal instincts that go with

(01:55:31):
the consumer confidence. Kamala Harris can't even answer whether we're
better off now than we were four years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:55:37):
Well, she can't answer a lot of things because she
knows better, because what she says it would be something
that would go against her ability to get elected she'd had.
The only plan she has is raising taxes on everybody,
on everybody. All right, that's all for today.

Speaker 6 (01:55:55):
I'll tell you what have is skylike in his studio.
This it's like having a three year old boosters.

Speaker 6 (01:56:04):
I know he's so frustrated by having to be still
while we're doing the news.

Speaker 4 (01:56:08):
I can't sing. He's afraid I'm going to give him
the time out, which I would.

Speaker 6 (01:56:12):
You can't sing and talk to himself, which is what
he does at NonStop.

Speaker 4 (01:56:17):
