News Radio seven forty KTRH. It's time now for the news.

(01:38):
Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
It's five o two on News Radio seven forty k TRH.
Our top story this hour. October's looming and now we
have new Fox News power rankings on the balance of
power in the House of Representatives. Where will that stand
by election day November five? They say still anyone's guests,
and it's twenty two toss up elections, too close to call.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
Our power rankings projection is two hundred eight Republican seats,
two hundred five Democrat seats with two eighteen the magic number,
and twenty two toss up districts. Our team's assessment of
a good night for Democrats is a two twenty seven
to two eleven majority, while a good knight for the
GOP could be two hundred and thirty Republicans to two
hundred five Democrats.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Yeah, well that was Fox's Mike Emanuel Power rankings also
estimate that the GOP will take control of the Senate
this election cycle. But you've got two toss ups there too,
neck and neck for Senate races in Nevada and Ohio depending.

Speaker 7 (02:42):
Where we look.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
We're seeing different poll numbers everywhere for this election.

Speaker 8 (02:46):
Again, some polling groups just haven't been able to get
it right on their election projections.

Speaker 9 (02:52):
We're talking air rates and over five percent in these states.
I'm in ridiculous air range.

Speaker 8 (02:58):
Chief polster with EA Trifall Group, Robert Kahley goes over
some of these simple concepts that they use in their
polling Alison Birst.

Speaker 9 (03:05):
No exceptions every time. We're also various collection methods, whether
it's love calls, whether it's tags or emails.

Speaker 8 (03:12):
Ka Haley added, that he's been surprised at Trump's better
pull numbers this year with the gen Z mails and
black voters. Char Lewis News Radio seven forty KETCHRH.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
Kamala Harris campaign in Pennsylvania yesterday, delivering remarks to the
Economic Club of Pittsburgh, claiming she wants to build quote
a strong middle class.

Speaker 10 (03:32):
The reason is not about politics, and it's not about ideology.

Speaker 11 (03:38):
From my perspective, it's just common sense. Oh it's common sense.
Where have we heard that before? Donald Trump and the
Commonsense Party? Oh please?

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Harris reportedly heading to the border later this week to
Arizona the borders Are's first border trip in more than
three years. Donald Trump, in a campaign event in North
Carolina yesterday said, don't buy her eleventh hour conversions.

Speaker 12 (04:09):
When Kamala speaks about the border, her credibility is less
than zero. I hope you're going to remember that on
Friday when she tells you about the border, ask her
just one simple.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Question, why didn't you do it four years ago?

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Harris's only prior trip to the border, borders are you know,
was just a couple hours stopover in El Paso, And
that was back in June of twenty twenty one. Leftist
media and the DNAC they attacked Project twenty twenty five
is actually Agenda twenty twenty five. But one of the authors,

(04:46):
Hans van Spaskowski with Heritage Foundation, that's who did it,
says Donald Trump had nothing to do with this Agenda
twenty twenty five, and all these claims, these leftist claims
against it are.

Speaker 13 (05:01):
It has no connection with President Trump. We started it
in twenty twenty two when he wasn't even.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
In the race.

Speaker 13 (05:07):
And the left has said there were people who served
the Trump administration involved in putting this together. Well that's true,
but we also had people from the Reagan administration.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
It's a Project twenty twenty five, the nine hundred page
book focusing on steps Americans can take on eliminating government bureaucracy,
protecting families and the border, and restoring education.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
All the things the left doesn't like.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah, very scary to them, I'm sure. Five six is
our time now. US allegedly sending more troops to the
Mediterranean after a spike in violence there. Of course, Israel
and the hesbalitaris now expanding in Lebanon. Depentagon won't give
detailzo on how many troops, what their role would be,

(05:54):
whether they're even just additional troops or maybe just new
deployments replacing those who are finish their tours and coming home.
In other words, replacement troops. It's all very fuzzy. US
currently has we understand about four hundred thousand men and
women in the Middle East or Mediterranean region, most of

(06:16):
them Navy aircraft carriers. You know, Texas Representative Chip Roy,
along with twenty two others, calling on House Speaker Mike
Johnson to oppose measures that would force women to register
for selective service.

Speaker 14 (06:30):
Inclusion of women in the draft has been debated for years.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
There has been.

Speaker 15 (06:34):
A movement in recent years, led by liberal Democrats, to
require that women apply for the selective service.

Speaker 14 (06:43):
Political advisor Catherine Fraser says this is part of the
left wing effort to remove all definitions of gender.

Speaker 15 (06:48):
It's gone as deep as trying to redefine the way
our military is run. It's dangerous, it's terrible policy, and
it should be fought against.

Speaker 14 (06:57):
Fraser says women being drafted wouldn't be good for our
country or for our military readiness and should be opposed.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Jury deliberations continuing today in the punishment phase of former
HPD officer Gerald Goins, who was convicted of murder yesterday.
He falsified information for a no knock warrant that resulted
in a deadly twenty nineteen raid on a home in
Harding Street, where the homeowners were killed in a shootout
with police. The jury started deliberating the punishment yesterday after

(07:29):
they found him guilty, as I said, of two counts
of murder. Goins facing a possible sentence of life in prison.
Florida prepping for the arrival of Hurricane Helene, with sixty
one counties under evacuation orders. Governor DeSantis there urging residents
to make their plans to get out.

all those things can still be done today.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Solar storm. It's it's fall, you know, the fall equinox
kind of set that stuff off. Sun has lobbed a
tendril of solar plasma. It is now. This happened on
last Sunday. It's rocketing forwards Earth expected to arrive sometime today,
reminding us it's there, it's there. Yes, Well I don't know.
I'd rather just look at it in the sky. You

(08:47):
get my reminder that way over six hundred and fifty
thousand miles per hour. So what is likely to happen? Well,
probably nothing, but there is a possibility. Because it is
a geomagnetic storm, with material being spewed by the Sun
bombarding our magnetic field, the outburst could interfere with power grids.

(09:12):
There's always a chance it could cause a power grid
to go down and therefore cause a blackout. It could
also fry satellites and can interfere with GPS communications.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
And the astronauts are also say what about the ISS Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well they're also subjected to more radiation. So here we go.
We've had several of these. I looked up. We had
one in August the twelfth. We had won the month
before that, and went by virtually unnoticed. So chances are
pretty good you won't even notice it today. Nothing, nothing
will happen. But just in case your lights unexplicably go out,
there's always that possibility, Well blame. We'll blame it on

(09:50):
the sun instead of blaming it on center point five
to ten. Time for traffic and weather together, so it
fires Offiffy pop. Oh, it's great for Jiffy pop gusts
you like.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Don't put a larg large quantity of Jiffy Pop in
something like a closet or something.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Does this pop everything? Thank you for that morning Scotch.
There was a.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Movie one time where they use Jiffy Pop to blow
up an entire house. Let's go to the hard work
and Lisa, put your hard hats on. We'll check some
cameras here. Let's look at the Fred Hartman Bridge, which
is longer than the Golden Gate Bridge. Look at it
from Baytown and Laport. Well, that's a pretty shot. If
you're playing the home game with me, hit one three,
zero seven on the trend Star website.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
That's what that means. Somebody asked me that yesterday. Toll bridge.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Wow, look at that no southbound suckage. We have an
extra lane here one of these days. That other one
I don't know if I trust it or not, but
that other span is going to be ready.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
We're good to go there, and let's check here.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
I don't have that shot, so let's go fear from
the digitals six ' ten the Sherman Bridge.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
You look good.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
I'll bet Valero people are over there working really hard,
pumping out some gas.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
But we're good.

and the Generators Supercenter dot com.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Terry, did you not tell us about the equinox? Was
it yesterday? Oh she's not here. Oh she can't hears.
She's here, but she can't hears. Okay from our Katie
IrH Top Tax Defenders twenty four hour Weather Center, here
is Terry Spin. You're on, Terry.

Speaker 18 (11:11):
Well, we are keeping an eye on Helene as you
would expect. It's still a hurricane, a low end hurricane
at eighty five miles an hour, but it is. Oh,
it's up to ninety miles an hour as of about
an hour ago. Then it will strengthen. It's heading toward
North Florida. Catastrophic is the word that's being used to

(11:34):
describe what the surge will do along the coast, what
the winds can do for that part of North Florida,
especially with all those trees, and they are expecting massive
power outages and probably prolonged power outages as well. Crews
are ready to help out when they can, but it's
going to take a little time obviously to get in
there and help with any post hurricane recovery. Our weather

(11:59):
by comparing quite pleasant. We have a little dose of
fall today, Temperatures cooler like September, mid upper eighties, and
tonight enjoy low's in the sixties. We're going to warm
back up a sunny, dry weekend uper eighty's to low
nineties through Sunday.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yepach're right now is seventy two at your officials Severe
Weather Station News Radio seven forty k TRH. It's Houston's
Morning News brought to you by New South Windows Solutions.
Now back to Jimmy and Scherah with the info you
need to take on the day. It is five to eighteen.
Now here in Houston's morning news. What is your reality
as far as crime here in the Greater Houston area,

(12:40):
crime where you live, the crime across the United States.
I think the perception, generally speaking is crime is up
and in many cases it's out of control. But the
left doesn't want you to believe that, so they are
altering crime statistics in order to try to fool you
into thinking that crime is not that bad. If you're

(13:02):
a victim of crime, it doesn't matter what the federal
government is telling you about crime statistics. Right here's John Levine,
he's with the New York Post and how they're trying
to cover up the true crime statistics.

Speaker 19 (13:14):
You know, crime is one of those things where they
try to fool you with the official statistics. I know
of multiple instances where people have gone to the police
to report various crimes and the police either didn't want
to take a police report, or they took a police report,
and then when the person followed up later, they found
a report actually never had been filed. Because what's happening

(13:34):
is orders from the TOPP are coming down, being like
crime is down, stew crime needs to be down, and
there is a lot of pressure on the rank and
file officers for the smaller crimes. Obviously you can't hide
a murder, but for the smaller like well, maybe you
got punched in the face by some migranteres.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Some that stuff isn't getting where, but you can't fight it.

Speaker 19 (13:51):
I mean, you watch local TV news and there's a
crime story and for the first five to ten minutes
every night.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh, you can't hide it. We see it, we feel it.

Speaker 19 (13:58):
But you will be able to hide it in the
official statistics. So they'll be saying, no, you're you feel wrong, Yeah,
you got it's wrong.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
To feel that way, wrong to feel that way.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Well, just as we saw that we had it right here,
absolutely major scandal run.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Thousands and thousands of crimes that went that were reportable
were never dealt with.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
That it was because they lacked the personnel to do it.
But it was at a time when the mayor of
the time, so Vester Turner, was going out and telling
all of us, I brought crime down.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yeah, big deal.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yeah No, he didn't bring crime down. He just gave
you crime statistics that were fewer five pointing dime for
traffic and weathered together gas.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
In my neighborhood at night. Should know you know you're
not wrong to feel that way. No, let's go which
way you want to go. Let's go to the east side.
Let's get and I've got this Crosby Freeway. The only
thing I've got so far this morning slowing us down
is this roadwork on ninety between Bohemian Hall and FM
twenty one hundred, and they've knocked out two overpasses. You're
being forced onto the feeders. Somebody give me an update.

(14:54):
I've got a tip line back this morning seven one,
three two on two tips.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
How bad is ninety this morning? I can't see a that.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Senate Budget Hearing yesterday. I Love, I Love I love
Senator John Kennedy when he's doing a hearing. He's got
he's got some public housing officials, public housing officials. Paul
Williams is one of them who he's talking to about affordability,
and he's trying to make a point about what makes
houses expensive, and he's getting a little bit of cooperation

(17:02):
from the director up until the point he brings up
the illegal immigration. Let's take a listen.

Speaker 21 (17:06):
If the cost of home maintenance and repairs goes up,
does that make home ownership more expensive?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Indeed, okay, if you.

Speaker 21 (17:24):
Whether you agree with it or not, if you admit
ten to twelve foreign nationals illegal into your country, all
of whom need housing, does that make the cost of
home ownership go up?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
You know, I think that.

Speaker 22 (17:48):
All of these questions and all of these insta.

Speaker 21 (17:52):
What of that first about illegal immigration? Does that does
that increase demand for housing and make the cost of
home ownership go up?

Speaker 22 (17:59):
I think that's it distributional question. I think the question
we're here to talk about.

Speaker 21 (18:04):
Today, but does it make the cost of home ownership
go up?

Speaker 22 (18:07):
We're here to talk about housing supply today.

Speaker 21 (18:09):
We're here to talk about ownership and the cost of
owning a home is not You're a bright man. Does
that make the cost of home ownership go up when
you increase the man that much?

Speaker 22 (18:21):
I think that's a distributional question.

Speaker 17 (18:23):
You don't want to you don't want to admit it.

Speaker 22 (18:26):
I think that's a distributional question and the problem that
we're facing, well, do respect.

Speaker 21 (18:30):
I think you're being disingenuous. Let me ask you, mister Pinto,
if you admit if you increase uh immigration by eleven
million people, does that increase the cost of home ownership?

Speaker 23 (18:45):
Senator Yes, We've tried to figure out what that impact is.

Speaker 16 (18:48):
Duh.

Speaker 23 (18:48):
Yeah, but the federal government doesn't publish where they're distributing
these individuals around the country, so we can't do the
kinds of college it calls us. Home ownership go up
in some places, certainly, but we can't figure out exactly
what it is.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
We'd love to.

Speaker 21 (19:04):
I not need to date games. I'm here to try
to get some answers.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
But if you could get your data, that would be great.

Speaker 23 (19:10):
I'm sorry, if you could get the data released by
the federal government.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
As to where I.

Speaker 21 (19:15):
Give you some data, Mortgage rates are up one hundred
and twenty three percent, premiums for homeowners are up sixteen percent.
The average electricity built when America's up to twenty eight percent.
That affects the cost of homeownership. No wonder people can't
buy home.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Seen very simple, doesn't it it? Yeah, ten to twelve
million people, even if they're not buying houses, they're going
into apartments. They're driving the cost of a rent up,
and when rent goes up, that's another contributing factor to
the high price of houses. I mean, it's all a
part of the answer here. And the fact the fact

(19:56):
that your federal government is hiding where the elite are
going should tell you all you need to know about
what it costs, not just in housing.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
I think it's not our federal government anymore. We're on
a government of the people. Yes, we're just the serfs.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
We're worse than the serfs.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
We're just the serfs.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
We're not ready to become the slaves. I think I fear.

Sure, the bipartisan group is led by Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Kelly.

Speaker 27 (24:38):
It keeps leading back to the federal agencies that were there.
Local law enforcement was willing and able to help out
wherever they could. But for whatever reason, we're not getting
the answers we need to get in a timely fashion, and.

Speaker 26 (24:50):
That is where the initial focus will start. The Secret
Service reliance on state and local law enforcement.

Speaker 27 (24:58):
We need the information now, we need it unfiltered. We
can take whatever it is that we need to know.
Just please don't hide anything from us, because that's the
worst thing that could happen.

H always after the election, isn't it, Trump confirms he
was brief by intelligence officials about the latest and still
ongoing threats on his life.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
We are under threat.

Speaker 12 (25:27):
I have been threatened very directly, and I appreciate the
agencies that we've been meeting with, but we've been threatened
very directly by Iran.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Trump telling a campaign event in North Carolina, the US
should be a lot tougher against a foreign state making
direct threats to assassinate a presidential candidate, Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania.
Boy she delivered remarks that said nothing to the Economic

(25:58):
Club of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 10 (26:00):
I intend to chart a new way forward and grow
America's middle class.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
She didn't lay out any economic policy that would actually
benefit average Americans. She talked a lot about holistic stuff.
Harris the borders are, though reportedly going to make a
rare trip to the border in Arizona tomorrow. National polls
show she beats Trump, however, in national vote, and that

(26:33):
leads some voters to think that she has already won
the election.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Well you better think again if.

Speaker 16 (26:39):
You look at the individual battleground states, those are much closer,
or she's actually upside down. She's performing much more poorly
than Hillary Clinton did or Joe Biden did at the
same point in the cycle.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
These are polls political analysts led to Vidiack you told
Kger h is likely that Trump will lose the popular
vote but still manage to win because because of the
electoral college, as he did back in twenty sixteen. Of course,
it always depends on accounting. When it comes to crime stats,
the media and government are also using fuzzy math.

Speaker 28 (27:11):
There.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
ABC News anchor David Muir admonished Donald Trump in the
last of eight that overall violent crime is coming down
based on FBI stats, But John Lott with the Crime
Prevention Research Center says FBI data doesn't tell the whole
story of what's happened the last three years.

Speaker 29 (27:26):
While there's been a five percent drop in recording violent crime,
national crime victimization data shows that there's been a fifty
five percent increase in total violent crime over that period
of time.

Speaker 30 (27:40):
And he notes the FBI revised its numbers from last
year to show an increase rather than a decrease in
violent crime. Coreyolson News Radio seven forty KTRH.

And didn't include statistics from Chicago. Texas Senator Paul Bettencourt
says a ruling from a Travis County judge that temporary
blocks the release of information those A through F ratings
for Texas schools, some of them anyway, that's now being appealed.

Speaker 31 (28:07):
That's going to be appealed to the new fifteenth Court
of Appeals by the state. And more importantly, we have
to have an af ranking system in public education. Otherwise
we're flying blind and we don't know what's working what's
not working.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, and Bettencore says there's got to be some transparency
between parents, the schools as well as the state. We
got jury deliberations continuing today. It's a punishment phase for
the former HPD officer Gerald Goyns, who was convicted on
two charges of murder yesterday. He falsified information on a
no knock warrant that resulted in a deadly twenty nineteen

raid on a home on Harding Street, and he's facing
a possible sentence of life in prison. Now it's five

Mariners eight one yesterday. They take on the Guardians today.
I'm Shepberh Fryar and since news Weather in traffic station
News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 20 (29:05):
What happened, Why it happened? Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar
explain it. Now back to Houston's Morning News. I used
to really love going to the supermarket. I don't like
it as much as I used to. And there's a
story here that seems indicate I'm not alone. A lot
of you feel the same way. Used to like, we
had very high opinions of most supermarkets, but those opinions

(29:28):
have been dropping now. The thing the problem is is
that we're blaming the supermarket for something that is not
its fault.

Speaker 32 (29:37):
You know.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
I'll give you a couple examples one of them is
shrink flation. Yeah, we are blaming the supermarkets for getting
having to you know, buy twice as much to get
the same amount that we used to get.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Put you in a bad mood.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
It does put you in a bad mood. But that
that that's that's a retail problem. That's a supplier problem.
That's not a supermarket problem. They just they don't problem. Yeah, yeah,
they're exactly right. And we know, blame for inflation. It's
a that's the government, dude. Don't blame the supermarket. Blame
the government. But I understand why people get frustrated, especially
with shrankflation, because here's here's how it all started. It

(30:11):
all started by making the box smaller and keeping the
price the same, right, you know, and and at least
you weren't paying more. You're getting less, but you were
paying more. And then it evolved into getting the smaller
box and having to pay a higher price for it.

(30:31):
And now it has evolved to a third level, and
which is the box is the same, but they're putting
less in the box. You open it up and it's
it's not full like it used to be. It's like
maybe three quarters full, you know, So I think I
think the problem is and I think the reason why
we're angry is I think we realized that they think

(30:54):
they're they're trying to put one over on us, right,
Like we don't notice, like we can't see that this
is what's happening. You know, at some point, at some point,
it's kind of like insulting your intelligence. Don't you think
where you kind of go, what are you doing? I
know there's lesson here. Who are you trying to fool?

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Kind of like the toilets you have to flush twice
because you're they tried to force us to save water.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And by the way, here's another reason
why you shouldn't blame the supermarket. Profit margins on supermarket
is now down down to your average supermarket is down
to one point six percent mm. That's the profit margin.
So they're they're running lean and that's why there's not
as many people around to help you as there used
to be, which we also blame on the supermarkets. I
can't find anybody to help me, But you can blame that.

(31:40):
You can blame the US government policies for all of
these things that are making you uptight. Five forty time

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Next on the tent, the Al Smith dinner. It's kind
of a big deal. It's been a big deal since
nineteen sixty, but Kamala Harris is not going to go.
That did not go unnoticed. A k new gemmngrig will
comment on it, but it did not go unnoticed by
Cardinal Dolan, and he had a little something to say
about it. We're disappointed.

Speaker 35 (36:26):
We were looking forward to giving the Vice President an
enthusiastic welcome.

Speaker 17 (36:31):
Yeah, we're not used to this.

Speaker 36 (36:32):
We don't know how to handle it.

Speaker 35 (36:33):
This hasn't happened in forty years since Walter Mondale turned
out the invitation, and remember he lost forty nine out
of fifty states.

Speaker 33 (36:41):
I'll want to say, first of all, the Cliffs and
I both really like Cardinal Dolan and I've always enjoyed
visiting with him, and he's got quite a sense of humor,
and I'm not surprised that he took a little swing there.
The truth is that I think she's afraid to go
to the Al Smith dinner. She's the most anti Catholic

(37:02):
presidential candidate since James G. Blaine in eighteen eighty and
all of the anti Catholic laws in past in that
era were called Blaine laws, so you can imagine how
strongly he was. Look when she was a senator, she's
interviewing in public in a senatorial hearing nominees who are Catholic,
and she says, you know you belong to the Knights

(37:24):
of Columbus. Well, the Knights of Columbus is over two
million people voluntarily get involved, you know, have pancakes on
Saturday morning, raised money for charity. The idea that there
was somehow something mysterious about this whole Catholic thing.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
You could tell that she has an edge.

Speaker 17 (37:42):
Many people on the.

Speaker 33 (37:43):
Left dislike the Catholic Church because it is a bulwark
of a belief in right to life. It's a bullwark
of belief in God, and it's a bullwork of belief
that in fact, our job is to try to understand
what God wants us to do, not try to become
gods of our own. So there's a huge underlying hostility

(38:05):
between the left and organized religion. By the way, her
vice presidential candidate as governor closed every single church in
Minnesota during COVID, but allowed the MA all of the
Americas to stay open so you could have retail therapy
right now. I mean, I don't know how much more
anti religious you could believe than Tim Waltz.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Wouldn't you think wouldn't you think that religious folks would
have figured this out by now? If your Catholic, why
would you be voting, If you truly are a worshiping Catholic,
why would you vote for Kamala Harris? Because the pope,
if you're the pope, why would you support Kamala Harris?

(38:47):
I mean, it defies your own religion. For God's sake,

wants to build this economy.

the first one in over three years for this border.
Z are She's going to Arizona tomorrow and an appearance
in North Carolina. Donald Trump said that Harris's trip is
only for the cameras.

Speaker 12 (42:55):
When Kamala speaks about the border, her credibility is less
than zero. I hope are you going to remember that
on Friday when she tells you about the border, ask
just one simple question, why didn't you do it.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Four years ago?

Speaker 5 (43:10):
Well, she's still borders our as far as we know.
Trump again, by the way, in his appearance, laid out
specific ways he will make the economy come back, make
every American wealthier. I haven't heard much about this other
than mainstream media attacking over and over. What exactly is

(43:31):
Project twenty twenty five.

Speaker 26 (43:34):
Sure, it was published by the Heritage Foundation over a
year ago.

Speaker 13 (43:39):
It's a nine hundred page book with a chapter on
every major federal executive agency. This is how this department
ought to be run instead of the way it is
being run.

Speaker 26 (43:52):
That's one of the authors, Hans von Spakowski, who says
the claims against Project twenty twenty five are simply not true.

Speaker 13 (44:01):
Everyone from CNN to USA Today has been saying all
the claims being made about it. There aren's live.

to block any bills that have that requirement in it
of women registering.

It is a far cry from what we have right now.

Speaker 15 (44:46):
And we do have lawmakers out there who are taking
a stand to push against this and to call for
leadership in Congress to make sure this doesn't happen, and
that is a good thing.

That's a political advisor Katherine Fraser there. She told us
that she doesn't think American people will be able to

could cause more chaos.

I see the opportunity to deal with drug dealers and
human traffickers and others who mean to do us harm.

Speaker 38 (45:29):
National security analyst Ed Tarzansky says this gives them a
base to recruit informants, and as we struggle to get
our own, it gives Russia more ammunition.

Speaker 39 (45:37):

we bugged out and we left them behind, and that's

just crazy Lake's sailboat. Here's the thing, though, it could
be worse, and not for Florida, but for Arkansas and
maybe parts of Texas and Louisiana because we're looking at

a potential Fujiwara effect. There's a big low system that's
going to be making its way towards Helene, and Helene's
gonna be making its way towards this big low.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
System, so it's going to slip sideways.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Well, here's what happens with the Fuji war effect. When
is when two storms, two big storms get close enough
to each other that they start to rotate around each
other and combine with a new with a new center
with the storm. So it's it's it's it's like it's
be like at that point Helene would be kind of,
you know, just turning into a rainstorm. But now if

(48:35):
it combines with that and starts rotating around. Then you've
got a massive rainstorm that can drop rain by the
by the foot, and it's going to impact a whole
bunch of states in the Midwest and here in the
South mainly even more in the South than in the
Midwest at this point. But we may we may have
to deal with it a little bit later on this

I've got a new caller, Emily spring Branch.

Speaker 13 (49:41):
Hey, good morning, hike.

Speaker 12 (49:42):
Driving west dot ipen.

Speaker 40 (49:44):
As you approach the Sover exit.

Speaker 17 (49:47):
It looks like somebody lost the ladder off the top
of their car and they.

Speaker 8 (49:51):
Got their emergency lights on and the third light over all.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
Right, let's call that a center lane, Emily, I see
inbound not much of a smash, so let's really be
super careful as you're coming in from Blaylock. Emily with
her first ever banana sticker. Steve Burton's got some two
ninety cornyky Mike.

Speaker 9 (50:08):
Outbound to Wards Highway six, there's a pretty big skurfuffle.
A lot of fleet cars don't know what's going on.

Speaker 13 (50:14):
But if you're headed outbound or hyway sick.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
All right, we'll take us zoom in on that at
the six twenty and get you some lineage here.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
And they just cleared our east loop problems.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
Ktr H listeners were the first to know about that
accident coming off the Sherman Bridge. It's clear, stay the course.
I'm Skymike on the Generator Supercenter dot Com.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Traffic Center from our KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four
hour wather senter Terry Smith is here. We have re
established our communications with her. Did you hear me talk
about Fuji war effect with Helena? Did you talk about it?
I did talk about the Fuji war. If that happens,
that's gonna be?

Speaker 4 (50:47):
Is that man a banana sticker?

Speaker 13 (50:49):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (50:49):
I get a banana sticker for weather sticker?

Speaker 16 (50:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (50:52):
All right, h give us the latest on Helen. In
the likelihood, we could see of Fuji war as as
an end game to all this.

Speaker 18 (51:00):
So the latest on Helen is that it's at ninety
miles an hour in terms of sustained winds, steadily strengthening.
Expected to be a Category three, possibly a Category four
hurricane by the time it makes landfall.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
I'm not so much.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
Worried about what category it is.

Speaker 18 (51:19):
We just know it's going to be a major hurricane
with massive winds that is going to cause catastrophic destruction
for places in North Florida and the Big Bend. So
we've got the storm surge that we've been talking about.
They'll be places that could see up to twenty feet
of storm surge on the east side, mainly around the

(51:42):
Bend and western Florida.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
That's going to be a big problem.

Speaker 18 (51:46):
The wind field is huge, and not only are the
winds going to be catastrophic across North Florida. They've got
all those trees, They've got a lot of pines, they've
got a lot of oaks. I have a feeling we're
going to see a lot of tree damage, buildings being damaged,
that kind of thing. And it's moving rapidly into Georgia,

(52:10):
and so they're hurricane warnings all the way up into
Middle Georgia. There are tropical storm warnings in North Georgia
that includes the Metro Atlanta area.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Once it gets into.

Speaker 18 (52:21):
Tennessee, it's going to do a little bit of that
Fujiwara that Jimmy's been talking about. There's a low pressure
system to the west that's going to kind of draw
it in and so it's actually going to move a
little bit more westward.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
So it'll be interesting.

Speaker 18 (52:34):
It won't do a complete fuji worra, but it'll feel
the effects of that low Hey, we got quiet weather.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
It feels like fall.

you heard a little bit about it. Maybe you've heard
the left talking about it like it was written by
a bunch of Neanderthals and blaming Trump for it. We're
gonna try to set the record straight on all this
coming up next. But first traffic and weather together as
we check out the drive once again with sky Mike. Whatever,

It's six twenty one now on news Radio seven forty KTRH.
China has TESTI fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into the
Pacific Ocean, the first known test into international waters in
over forty years. China says, well, it held a dummy warhead.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson he's taking that fight against

(54:32):
the gun ban at the State Fair of Texas to
the state Supreme Court. The ban violates state law, according
to the attorney General, because the fairs held on government
owned property and state law allows license carry there. The
fair opens tomorrow. We'll see what the court says. More
than a third of kids across the globe are near sighted, Jimmy.

(54:54):
Those numbers are expected to grow. Research shows near sightedness
has been on the rise from twenty four percent and
in nineteen ninety to nearly thirty six percent in twenty
twenty three. Our mothers were right when they told us
to turn.

Speaker 4 (55:07):
Off the TV. We were going to go blind.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Well, my mom told me I'd go blind by doing
something else.

Speaker 5 (55:12):
I mean, what's happened, what's happened since nineteen ninety I
would like greens in front of your face.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
Yep, absolutely crossing your eyes.

Speaker 5 (55:20):
Latest news anytime ktres dot com. Our next update, our
news update, stop blushing here will be at six thirty.

Speaker 20 (55:31):
Toll wrote it, or save a few bucks your cheaper
commute coming up every ten minutes on the TENS Project
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
It's been vilified by the left. You would think it
was written by racist indanderthals maybe both. To hear the
left describe it, I don't believe it's that way to
begin with. President Trump distanced himself from it at the
very beginning. By the way it was put together by
some folks at the Heritage Foundation. Truck Devor joins US
Texas Public Policy found Foundation. Let's start with this misconception

(56:03):
that Trump supports Project twenty twenty five. He never came
out in support a Project twenty twenty five, did he?

Speaker 12 (56:10):
No, No, he didn't.

Speaker 41 (56:11):
And in fact, this was a think tank project. It
was a cooperative think tank project. The Texas Public Policy
Foundation had several individuals that participated. I contributed to the
Defense section, the portion about the Department of Defense, since
I had a chance to work there under President Reagan
when I was a very very young man, as a
specialististant for foreign affairs. But this is a very common thing.

(56:34):
The left does it. For example, every cycle you have
the Center for American Progress, the progressive left wing think tank.
They put one of these things together every four years,
and if a Democrat wins, they'll probably take a few
of the ideas from the left wing version of this.
So this has been used as a campaign ploy. I

(56:55):
was in Congress yesterday testifying before the Oversight Committee. Single
Democrat in their opening statement it talked about Project twenty
twenty five, even though I had nothing to do with
the content of the hearing, which was how Biden Harris'
government overspending and regulation has caused the economy not to
do great as sparked inflation. But they have no answer

(57:18):
for that. So what they do is they go Project
twenty twenty five, Project twenty twenty five. It was like
a broken record.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
Think tanks do what think tanks do.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
They put out papers, but democrats do what democrats do?

Speaker 4 (57:29):
They use it. Everything becomes political and is anti Donald J. Trump.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
He may not have endorsed the plan, he said he
hasn't read it, but it doesn't mean that he's against
Project twenty twenty five.

Speaker 41 (57:43):
Well, the bottom line is if Trump wins the election,
he's got his own agenda, and some of that agenda
may include some aspects of what we wrote. It's a
helpful exercise to put your your thoughts and your ideas,
your reforms, your innovations, the things you're going to do
to try to improve federal governance. Get them down on

(58:04):
a piece of paper in a discipline fashion. When things
are kind of calm and cool prior to, you know,
a new administration taking office, and then the new administration
has a menu. They can say, well, gee, I like this,
this and I don't much like that, and so let's
go and implement a few of these things. So it's
it's a blueprint, clearly, relieve it.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Clearly, Chuck, the left is afraid of it. What do
you think is in there that they're so afraid of.

Speaker 41 (58:30):
Well, I'm not so certain that that's the main thing.
As to they don't have anything good to talk about
with regards the economy. So, for example, yesterday during the testimony,
one of the people testifying, I think from the Center
for American Progress, by the way, was talking about he
used the statistic about how payroll has grown twenty seven

(58:51):
percent since inauguration day and inflation's only up twenty percent.
And it took me three times looking at his claim
to try to understand what he was saying, and because
it first looked great, and then I realized what he
was talking about was overall payroll. He wasn't trying about
how much people are getting paid on average. He was
trying about basically how many people are getting paid and working,

(59:14):
as we recovered from COVID. And the problem is is
you actually look at wages, real wages, and you factor
in inflation, people are making less money than they were
at the beginning of COVID, and a lot of those
people who are getting paid now are people who are
in the nation illegally, because the majority of jobs since

(59:35):
the recovery, or you know, since the inauguration day have
gone to people in this country illegally, some legally, but
mostly illegally. So when you're talking points, you're weak because
reality doesn't match what you want to talk about. You're
going to divert. You're going to say, look at the
shiny object over here, look at project, and then the
compliant major media is going to go right along and

(59:57):
help reinforce.

Our top story this our House Select Subcommittee on the
Weaponization of the Federal Government holding a hearing yesterday investigating
the alleged bias against conservatives by the FBI Big tech too.
Marcus Allen, a whistleblower from the Bureau, details action that

(01:02:39):
he took and then how he was retaliated against.

Speaker 42 (01:02:45):
Almost exactly three years ago today, I afforded news articles
to my superiors and others within the FBI about January sixth.
It was literally one of my job duties to keep
my colleagues informed about open source intelligence related to their cases.
As a result of simply doing my job, the FBI
accuse me of promoting conspiratorial views and unreliable information.

Speaker 5 (01:03:04):
He didn't go with the Democrat agenda you see. Allen
says he believes he faced that retaliation because his views
on the events and his information he was taking in
on January sixth, the capital incursion there that day, are
different from what the Democrats wanted to be the official
narrative of that day. A day after a Senate report

(01:03:26):
revealed massive failures of Secret Service homeland security in the
first assassination attempt of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Congressman Mike
Kelly is going to be leading the first hearing today
for the Congressional Task Force now looking in to both
assassination attempts and this government's handling of protecting a former,
current and future presidents.

Speaker 27 (01:03:49):
We will go the whole way through on this, and
this will be totally transparent to the American people. We
have got to do the job now that's going to
be required to restore the faith, trust, and confidence that
the American people need to have in these different agents season.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
But will we get that.

Speaker 5 (01:04:02):
Former President Donald Trump, speaking at a campaign event in
North Carolina, says he has been briefed. Are yet new
threats and ongoing threats against his life from Iran, the
terrorist state, But further investigation is really needed from the DOJ.

Speaker 12 (01:04:19):
They had no problem breaking into the apps of the
J six hostages. They broke into those apps and they
could be a RAND.

Speaker 25 (01:04:27):
Based they could also be.

Speaker 12 (01:04:28):
Something else, but we'll never know until they're opened, and
they got to get them opened.

Speaker 5 (01:04:34):
Meantime, Milania Trump David Long interview with Fox News.

Speaker 4 (01:04:39):
It aired this morning.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
She described finding out about her husband being shot in
Butler July thirteenth.

Speaker 43 (01:04:48):
Nobody really knew yet because when you see him on
the floor and you don't know, you don't know what
really happened.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
The interview as the former First Lady, It prepares to
release her new book, Milania, that comes out October eighth.
Donald Trump is going back to Butler, he announces October fifth,
to finish what he started. The stopgap government funding bill
approved on Wednesday does come with more money to protect
former presidents. According to Speaker Mike Johnson, two.

Speaker 44 (01:05:23):
Hundred and thirty one million dollars. It will be dedicated
to the protection of presidential candidates, and it is limited
to that, and it is contingent upon the Secret Services
complete cooperation where our oversight investigations over these assassination attempts.

Speaker 5 (01:05:38):
The bill keeps the government funded through December twentieth, and
it was passed very quickly by the Senate yesterday as well.
Note that the Save Act the Voters Citizen only allowing
citizens to vote, that got stripped, so that has failed.

America's middle class, but.

Speaker 5 (01:06:12):

do that and how any of her policy would benefit
average Americans.

She's making a big.

a national polling by two points, So our Republicans in
for another failure of an election night in November.

Speaker 14 (01:06:45):
Thankfully, you don't need to be too worried about those numbers.

Speaker 16 (01:06:48):
Kamala will probably win the popular vote by a small
margin nationally, but President Trump will win the electoral college.

Speaker 14 (01:06:56):
Political analyst fled Davidia said that on top of that,
Republiclkins might have a good night down ballot too.

Speaker 16 (01:07:02):
Republicans are probably going to retake the Senate and hold
onto the House. That does depend very much on the
performance at the.

candidates who are very effective with their messaging. Ethan Buchanan

Speaker 5 (01:07:19):
Mainstream media pushing the Democrat talking point as well that
violent crime is not as bad as we all know
it is. They tried to tell us it's actually going down.
But John Lott with the Crime Prevention Research Center says
that narrative is based on incomplete data by the FBI.
Because the FBI is only showing a decline in reported

(01:07:42):
crimes doesn't mean the crime didn't happen, but was it reported.

Speaker 36 (01:07:48):
When the data came out with the FBI, you had
a headline after headline saying violent crime is falling, and
none of them really pointing out that it's just reported
crime as opposed to total crime.

Speaker 5 (01:08:01):
Yeah, more accurate. National Crime Victims Survey reveals a fifty
five percent increase in violent crimes over the last three years.
That is the largest increase in any three year period
in that survey's history. It's six thirty seven.

and again the now right.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Now, News Radio seven KGRH. There's a new Chicken leg sandwich.
Here you go. Shira I blew it up so you
could see it being offered in San Francisco and New
York by a restaurant called bird By. It's called Clawed
the Claw Sandwich. It includes the entire chicken leg, which

(01:09:08):
in course includes the thigh.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
The feet.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Yeah, the leg, what do you what do you call
You don't call it the ankle on the chicken? What
do you call that? The part that the foot's attached to.
Does it have a name? You're asking me, Well, you're
from Howlettsville.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
My name is Friar.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
I get that, and your name is Friar. You should
know these things. But it has the claw, and it's
the claw that's got everybody clucking. I guess I don't
know why it's creating a sensation. It is ugly as hell.
It's not the least bit appetizing, But people are flocking

(01:09:45):
to this restaurant to buy this thing. They just opened
up in New York. They sold out within hours. They
couldn't make enough of them to satisfy the crowd. And
we're not talking about a cheap sandwich. Bird Box is
kind of like a slightly allow a fast food place.
It's nineteen bucks for the sandwich. Nineteen dollars. For first

(01:10:06):
of all, I'm not much of a chicken thigh. I
don't you know, you're either a white meat or dark
meat when it comes to chicken.

Speaker 5 (01:10:13):
I think chicken feed are kind of considered a delicacy,
aren't they in some Caribbean?

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Maybe cookie maybe maybe, And that would explain New York maybe.
I don't know if those were all Jamaicans who are
there buying this thing. But it's it's it's it's just
it's I mean, it's not like I don't realize where
chicken comes from. Okay, it's not like if I see
a foot on it or a beak on it, I
don't understand that it used to be a live chicken.

(01:10:40):
I get that part of it, but that's not the
part I want to be looking at when I eat it.
Sake forty time for traffic and weather together. Sure you
know what what chicken butt ask me?

Speaker 12 (01:10:51):
Why?

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
All right, let's go to the northwest side here. That
is two ninety inmbouscies going what inbound.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Two ninety We just cleared that had a possum the
direct connector.

Speaker 3 (01:11:01):
It's out of the way. Stay the course on two ninety.
We're in good shape here. Joe from Crosby says, the
suckage is reel on ninety I'm seeing at Bohemian Hall
to twenty one hundred. If it was up to me,
they would just put like a temporary caution light and
a lot of all the people that are trying to
get to work go through. Everybody else would have to
take right turn.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
But you know what do I know?

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
Inbound you looks like you're losing some time trying to
hit the Sanjacento River Bridge on the north sam westbound
auding Westfield, it's two left lanes and then eastbound it's
a left lane at Imperial Valley that's starting to skunch
up the ramp now from forty five southbound and west
loops six ' ten we're going down to uptown.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Makes sense to me.

Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
You've got slows now from slow downs from two ninety
down to about post toke in eleven minutes.

Speaker 16 (01:11:43):
Here.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Something is scooching up the Katie Freeway ramp that comes
off Grand Parkway on the inbound. I'm not sure if
that's just the usual thickness there or if we've got
a stall around Mason Road. We'll zoom that at the
six fifty break in the classic elite GMC traffic Center from.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
R KTRH Generator super Center twenty four hour with the centator.
Terry Smith is here. Terry, I've heard them talking yesterday
like Helene could possibly still be very close to a
hurricane by the time it gets to Atlanta. Has Atlanta
ever dealt with a storm like that before?

Speaker 18 (01:12:15):
So we've had something similar in Ople back in nineteen
ninety five. Opal was an October storm, so this is
a little bit earlier, but nothing quite like this, And
it very likely will be a hurricane in South Georgia,
parts of Middle Georgia will probably be in that transition

(01:12:38):
period between hurricane strength and tropical storm strength, you know.
But there's a certain aspect of this that is academic.
I mean, if you're talking tropical storm force wins seventy
four miles an hour, but hurricane wins seventy five miles
an hour, it all looks the same. And by the
time it gets up into North Georgia or the metro

(01:12:59):
Atlanta area, I think our max wins we'll see around
here will be gusts up around sixty miles an hour,
So it will have weekend almost by half of its
strength by the time it gets into North Georgia. But
we have a lot of trees up around this part
of the state and that is likely to be in
a lot of power outages overnight and during the day. Tomorrow,

(01:13:23):
at least we can talk about quiet weather in Houston
and a nice little dose of fall. Mid upper eighties today,
upper eight east to low nineties through the weekend, no
rain through Monday.

the piece of polling information from Gallup that I haven't
heard a lot of people talk about it. It's not

Speaker 34 (01:15:54):
I live in Katie, I live in Ito. Your reliable
forecast next on the ten on seven right. Not specifically
voting for Trump or voting for Harris, but how do
you identify? And there's been a big change, almost an
historical change in how people are identifying. Take a listen, just.

Speaker 45 (01:16:15):
Going through the numbers.

Speaker 46 (01:16:16):
In two thousand and eight, they said the country had
it was plus eight on democratic registrations. Obama won by
seven point two. This is put out in a tweet
by Eric Dottie but verified by our staff. Twenty twelve
said D plus four Obama won three point nine. Twenty sixteen,
it said D plus three and Clinton did win the

(01:16:40):
national vote two point one, so very close. Twenty twenty
D plus five Biden won four point five. And you
know what it says in twenty twenty four, for the
first time in some twenty years, r R plus three.
Amazing just to see that Republicans have the edge on

(01:17:03):
the national voter ID right now, and if you go
by track record, that would put Trump in a position
of not only winning the national vote, but you know
the case of a Republican who wins the national vote
almost certainly winning the electoral college gym.

Speaker 27 (01:17:18):
What do you make of that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
If that comes to pass?

Speaker 32 (01:17:22):
And I guess I put this in the category of
news that is so good for Republicans.

Speaker 2 (01:17:27):
My skeptical instinct kicks in. I'm almost afraid, Hey, we
can it possibly be true? Yeah?

Speaker 32 (01:17:33):
Chuck that up to me being a Jets fan and
just seeing when good things happen, something terrible is about
to happen the very next moment. But so, there's actually
two schools of thought about how people identify in terms
of their partisan lean One is, if you ask people
which party are you part of, they think of what
they're registered with and they will say I'm a registered Democrat,
I'm a registered Republican, which might be surprising because there

(01:17:54):
are a bunch of people, particularly in the South, less
so now than say maybe a decade ago, but who
were registered Democrats, but who are pretty art cultural conservative.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
On gun issues and abortion and.

Speaker 16 (01:18:03):
Things like that.

Speaker 32 (01:18:04):
The other one is that it's much people are much
more fickle, and if it's a news cycle where the
Democrats are looking terrible, then they're more likely to identify
as Republicans and vice versa. I think even if it's
even you're looking at that, that would probably be a
Trump victory.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Interesting, you know, the.

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
Polls are also skewed because more people identify as Democrats
or base. Some of the polls are based they waited differently.
They seek more Democrat responses than Republican based on what
the turnout was for the last election. Yeah, and so
you can't trust that because that doesn't mean it's going
to be the same this time.

Speaker 39 (01:18:42):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
It also might mean that the margin is even bigger
for Republicans.

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
As a result of this, I have no ideas we
learned in twenty sixteen and again really in twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):

balance of power in Congress. With this upcoming election, House
apparently still anyone's game. Twenty two toss up seats.

Speaker 6 (01:22:22):
Our power rankings projection is two hundred eight Republican seats,
two hundred five Democrat seats, with two eighteen the magic number,
and twenty two toss up districts. Our team's assessment of
a good night for Democrats is a two twenty seven
to two eleven majority, while a good night for the
GOP could be two hundred and thirty Republicans to two
hundred five Democrats.

Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
Okay, that's Fox's Mike Emmanuel. Power rankings also estimate that
the GOP will take control of the Senate this election cycle.

Kamala Harri's campaign in Pennsylvania yesterday, delivering remarks to the
Economic Club of Pittsburgh, claiming she wants to build a
strong middle class.

Speaker 10 (01:23:46):
The reason is not about politics, and it's not about ideology.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
From my perspective, it's just common sense.

It's just common.

Sense Bartiphrase from Donald Trump again. Harris reportedly heading to
the border tomorrow Arizona, her first border trip in more
than three years. Donald Trump, in a campaign event in
North Carolina yesterday said, don't buy her eleventh hour conversions.

Speaker 12 (01:24:17):
When Kamala speaks about the border, her credibility is less
than zero. I hope you're going to remember that on
Friday when she tells you about the border, ask her
just one simple question.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
Why didn't you do it four years ago?

Speaker 5 (01:24:33):
Yeah, her only prior trip to the border, and she
didn't really go to the wall. She went to a
cleaned up little place there. It was a couple of
hours that she stopped over in Opasso to meet with
Border patrol officers officials.

Speaker 4 (01:24:47):
That was June of twenty twenty one. She was Borderzar.

the Trump administration involved in putting this together. Well, that's true,
but we also had people from the Reagan administration.

Inclusion of women in the draft has been debated for years.

Speaker 15 (01:26:07):
There has been a movement in recent years, led by
liberal Democrats, to require that women apply for the selective service.

Speaker 14 (01:26:16):
Political advisor Catherine Fraser says this is part of the
left wing effort to remove all definitions of gender.

Speaker 15 (01:26:22):
It's gone as deep as trying to redefine the way
our military is run. It's dangerous, it's terrible policy, and
it should be fought against.

Speaker 14 (01:26:31):

country or for our military readiness and should be opposed.

Speaker 20 (01:27:30):
Houston's Morning News continues with Jimmy Verrett and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
Maybe I'm a sensitive to this story right now because
I'm my car insurance reduals coming up and I'm adding
a vehicle to it, and I'm wondering how much that's
going to make it go up. But I thought this
is interesting. I don't know how y'all feel about consumer reports.
If you know, if you buy into their ratings on things.
But I saw that Consumer Reports came out. They took

(01:27:57):
a look at the top ten companies based on sales
and rated them based on how much their premiums cost,
how much you know, what their coverage looks like, how
easy their rules are, as far as understanding what the
policies as they're written, as far as what they say

(01:28:18):
it may be most important at all, at least to me,
how are they at paying their claims? How difficult is
it to collect on a claim when you have an accident? Right,
Because that's that's the bottom line. That's why you have
insurance to begin with. So based on that criteria, we're
going from bottom to top here. Farmers Insurance came in
last with a score of thirty eight out of one hundred,

(01:28:40):
which doesn't strike me as very good. Then came Liberty
Mutual thirty nine out of one hundred, Progressive forty one
out of one hundred, Geico forty two out of one hundred,
Travelers Group forty three out of one hundred, All State
forty three out of Are you noticing a trend here?

(01:29:02):
None of them are really very good until one more
American Family Insurance forty four out of one hundred, so
of the most popular car insurers, they're all fairly close
to each other as far as their ratings go. Nationwide
forty nine out of one hundred, so they did a

(01:29:22):
little bit better. State Farm also did fairly well with
forty nine out of one hundred, but number one far
and away USAA sixty eight out of one hundred. Of course,
the problem with USAA is if you're not former military
or a military number, you can't get in. You can't

(01:29:45):
get it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:46):
But that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
Yeah, yes, it's nice. First of all, it's nice to
know there's at least one out there that it seems.

Speaker 4 (01:29:52):
Now they're doing something for veterans.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):

if you don't mind, Terry So I uh oh good.

Speaker 18 (01:31:32):
I just checked National Hurricane Center's latest update and the
winds have strengthened up to one hundred and one hundred
miles per hour. So we got ourselves a category two
hurricane now and we're on our way to a category
category three hurricane.

Speaker 4 (01:31:52):
But it looks like.

Speaker 18 (01:31:55):
The latest update has the strongest wins reaching one hundred
and fifteen miles per hour dead of one hundred and
twenty or one hundred and thirty.

Speaker 4 (01:32:03):
So we'll see how this pans out In the grand
scheme of things.

Speaker 18 (01:32:07):
This doesn't have a big change for the impacts that
they're going to feel in North Florida and the Big
Bend area of Florida. Storm surge being one of major
concern because this area is extraordinarily prone to flooding to
begin with, and you get a major hurricane. That just
makes that coastal flooding, the surge, the water level rises

(01:32:30):
even higher. They're estimating between ten to twenty feet of
storm surge in some spots, and that could send some
of that water pretty far inland. And then, of course,
the winds, the tropical storm force winds extend out from
the center over three hundred miles away, so there's a
large part of Florida and Alabama and Georgia and South

(01:32:52):
Carolina and even North Carolina and Tennessee they're going to
feel the impacts of those winds. And then the rain,
the flooding rain on top of that, and that's going
to be making its way across Georgia and up into
Tennessee here by Friday and Saturday.

That's the latest.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
Seven k t rh GLA, Davidia joins us political analyst
to talk about this American Thinker piece about the Republicans.
I read the piece and I don't know how much
of it is just the angst of what's happened in
past elections, or how much of it is just insight
into how unwilling the Republican is staff publishment is to

(01:36:01):
change in order to be effective at winning races. What
do you think it is?

Speaker 16 (01:36:07):
What we've seen historically is that Republicans tend to build
momentums slowly and then sustain it, while Democrats tend to fluctuate,
and so that translates directly to how people perceive the
election and how people perceive momentum. The media also plays
a big role in this. They're definitely complicit in how

(01:36:28):
they relay this information to the public, and they are
incentivized and they're completely invested in trying to hype up
the Democrat candidate. And so you know, that's the perception
that's broadly felt and it can have an outsize impact
on the election.

Speaker 5 (01:36:45):
Seems to me that a lot of these polls that
are skewing Democrat are really attempts to try to build
up enthusiasm for a candidate who didn't have a whole
lot of enthusiasm without the media and the polls doing
it for her. Donald Trump is trying to build up
in husiasm face to face by holding these massive rallies.

Speaker 4 (01:37:03):
What wins the long run?

Speaker 16 (01:37:06):
Yeah, I mean before before President Biden decided to quit
the race and there was speculation about who's going to
replace him, Kamala Harris was like maybe the third or
fourth possible choice that people were excited about. People acknowledge
the fact that she, you know, sitting vice president should
probably get the job, but she was not actually like
the only possible choice.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
And if you look back in history.

Speaker 16 (01:37:27):
In twenty twenty, President Biden was ahead by seven points
at this time of the calendar, and Hillary Clinton was
ahead by two and a half points. Kamala is ahead
by maybe one and a half to two points across
across different poles. What wins is that surge in awareness
from the voter. Voters are going to the polls, but

(01:37:48):
they still have to pay their light bill, they still
have to buy groceries, They still have to fill up
their tanks with gas. They still have to make sure
that their kids are safe walking out going to school,
and they have to be concerned with rather or not
there's going to be a new crime committed within their
communities on every single day, and so far, Kamala has
not really offered any substantive solutions to that, and voters

(01:38:11):
are becoming more increasingly aware of that. That's really going
to have a huge impact on the choices they make.

Speaker 25 (01:38:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
The story also goes on to say that the typical
American voters are ignorant, apathetic, gullible, maybe in some cases
even stupid. Do you think that's true the average American voter.

Speaker 16 (01:38:30):
I think the average American voter is really kind of
disenchanted with the entire process because they have seen for
a year after a year that they keep sending people
to Washington and things are not improving in their communities,
not improving in their neighborhoods. What they're really looking for
is change and positive improvement. They're becoming more cynical with

(01:38:50):
each cycle, and so the candidate that's able to actually
offer solutions that are able to deliver on them is
going to really make a sharp push to maintain that momentum.
Hopefully we can see that before November.

Speaker 2 (01:39:05):
Yeah, well, they all make offers, hopefully some of them deliver. Glad,
thank you as always appreciate it. Political analysts of LADAVIDIUK.

Good morning, Everyone's down seven thirty two on news Radio
seven forty KTRH. Our top story this hour on earthing
corruption in the government regime. The House Subcommittee on the
Weaponization of Government, focusing on the FBI alleged retaliation and
punishment against whistleblowers within its own agency, as well as
conservatives in the FBI.

Speaker 4 (01:41:48):
Committee Chairman Jim.

Speaker 25 (01:41:49):
Jordan, the FBI can't tell us who planted pipe bombs
on January sixth. They can't tell us who leaked the
Dobbs decision. They can't tell us who put cocaine at
the White House, but they were able to spy on
a presidential campaign lie to affis. The court investigate parents
showing up at a school board meeting and of course
saying if you're a pro life Catholic, you're somehow at extremists.

Speaker 5 (01:42:09):
Among those testifying, FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen, who says he
was punished by the Bureau after releasing information to other
agents about the January sixth capital breach and the planted
pipe bomb cover up almost at the DNC that didn't
fit the quote official government narrative. And the Congressional Task

(01:42:30):
Force now investigating the first assassination attempt to former President
Donald Trump in July thirteenth, holding its first hearing today.

Speaker 26 (01:42:39):
Sure the bipartisan group is led by Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Kelly.

Speaker 27 (01:42:45):
It keeps leading back to the federal agencies that were there.
Local law enforcement was willing and able to help out
wherever they could. But for whatever reason, we're not getting
the answers we need to get in a timely fashion, and.

Speaker 26 (01:42:57):
That is where the initial focus will start, the Secret
Service reliance on state and local law enforcement.

Speaker 17 (01:43:05):
We need the information now, we need it unfiltered. We
can take whatever it is that we need to know.

Speaker 27 (01:43:10):
Just please don't hide anything from us, because that's the
worst thing that could happen right now.

Speaker 26 (01:43:15):
The task force has a mid December deadline. Jeff Biggs,

Meantime, Milania Trump was in a rare interview this morning
on Fox News speaking about the attempts to kill her husband.

Speaker 43 (01:43:31):
Both of the events, they were really a miracles if
you really think about it. The July thirteenth was a
miracle like that much. And he could you know, he
could not be with us.

Speaker 5 (01:43:46):
Yeah. Her new book, Milania But will be released October eighth. Meantime,
Donald Trump confirms he's going back to Butler, Pennsylvania, the
side of the first assassination attempt for a rally. He's
going to finish it on October fifth. Also confirms he's
been brief by intelligence officials about the latest and the
ongoing threats on his life.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
We are under threat.

Speaker 12 (01:44:10):
I have been threatened very directly, and I appreciate the
agencies that we've been meeting with, but we've been threatened
very directly by Iran.

Speaker 5 (01:44:20):
Trump at a campaign event in North Carolina yesterday, he
says the US should be tougher against terrorist states like
Iran having the gall to make such threats openly Kamala
Harris in Pennsylvania. She gave remarks to the Economic Club
of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 10 (01:44:39):
I intend to chart a new way forward and grow
America's middle class.

Speaker 5 (01:44:48):
She failed to say how Harris the borders are, reportedly though,
making a very showy camera kip trip to the border
tomorrow in Arizona. National polls show that Harris is actually
leading Trump right now, and that has some voters thinking, well,
she's going to win the election.

Speaker 4 (01:45:06):
Well maybe not.

Speaker 16 (01:45:08):
If you look at the individual battleground states. Those are
much closer. Or she's actually upside down. She's performing much
more poorly than Hillary Clinton did or Joe Biden did
at the same point in the cycle.

Speaker 5 (01:45:20):
Yeah, political analysts led Da Vidiot there. He told us
that so likely Trump will lose the popular vote but
still managed to win the electoral college as he did
back in twenty sixteen. It's now seven thirty six. Crime statistics. Oh,
how the media and government are fuzzy with their math
in order to carry their political narrative.

Speaker 30 (01:45:41):
ABC News anchor David Muro admonished Donald Trump in the
last debate that overall violent crime is coming down based
on FBI stats, but John Lott with the Crime Prevention
Research Center says FBI data doesn't tell the whole story
of what's happened the last three years.

Speaker 29 (01:45:55):
Well, there's been a five percent drop in recording violent crime.
Crime victimization data shows that there's been a fifty five
percent increase in total violent crime over that period of time.

Speaker 30 (01:46:08):
And he notes the FBI revised its numbers from last
year to show an increase rather than a decrease in
violent crime. Coriolson News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Texas Senator Paul Bettencourt says ruling from a Travis County
judge that temporary temporarily blocks the release of those A
through F ratings for some Texas schools is being appealed.

Speaker 31 (01:46:33):
That's going to be appealed to the new fifteenth Court
of Appeals by the state. And more importantly, we have
to have an A through F ranking system in public education.
Otherwise we're flying blind and we don't know what's working,
what's not working.

Speaker 4 (01:46:49):
Yeah, they don't like report cards, do they? Jimmy.

Speaker 5 (01:46:52):
Senator Bettencourt says, there's been there has to be transparency

Not resist ripping on that on your show last night.

Speaker 47 (01:47:27):
After four years as borders are and serving in our
nation's second highest office, Kamalas seems to have suddenly remembered
that we actually have a border.

Speaker 2 (01:47:35):
She's seen the.

Speaker 47 (01:47:36):
Light and it's not the one Joe's walking towards.

Speaker 17 (01:47:43):
Four.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
She's announced she's going to the border. True, after four
years of.

Speaker 47 (01:47:47):
Denying there's a border crisis. What's changed? Why the one eighty?
Do you suppose it's the polls. It's amazing how the
only way to get a Democrat to do anything is
their fear of losing power. Than suddenly everything they mocked
becomes everything they embrace.

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
According to a new Gallup.

Speaker 47 (01:48:04):
Poll, the Orange menie he's winning. And the reasons why
it happened to be real, you know, issues things like
economic pessimism, inflation, fuel price is higher than Pelosi's eyebrows.
And there's that little border thing, you know, that crazy
notion that every nation in history has been allowed to

(01:48:24):
have a border except the US. It's no wonder at
New York Times poll shows that in swing states like Arizona,
Georgia and even North Carolina, Trump is spanking Kamala like
a mouthy orphan.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
Shut up orphan.

Speaker 47 (01:48:38):
And in light of how underpolled Republicans are, the margins
are likely wider than a Jerry Nadler seat belt extender.
So Kamala suddenly she's refracking, Suddenly she hates defunding the police,
and yet suddenly she's heading to the border.

Speaker 2 (01:48:57):
Yeah, but you'll take it all back if she's elected.
Don't forget that seven forty time for traffic and weather together.
We're checking out the drive again here Skyline. All right,
let's come in, advisors. We're looking at your West Park tollway.
Now we're about three or four extra minutes, and no,
that's a double that eight minutes coming in from South
Parker Cypress trying to work your way into the beltway.
Beyond that point looks good.

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
Southwest Freeway breaks right after the Sugar Lakes. If you're
coming up to the Beltway, lose about three or four
minutes that way. We had a stall outbound at the Beltway.
We're still a little spackled abyssing it. And then more
breaks from the West park Curve on the Katie Freeway.
It's dragging it now, Grand Parkway into Barker Cypress.

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
Let's connect that all the way to the Beltway.

Speaker 3 (01:49:38):
And then right as you approach downtown, we had a
little scooch on forty five and that of course connects
your backups like you need. But backed up from Studemont,
it's a good forty two minutes from Grand Parkway into
the President's Heads. We were doing so well on the
East Tex and then I was put the hecks side.
I know, southbound at Porter that's a trailer up on
the wall. Looks like everybody's okay, but we are plumbing
backed up from New Katie and North Freeway.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
That's a lot of breaks. Hitting right on AH forty
five south found between Parker.

Speaker 3 (01:50:04):

But the big difference this morning is it's cool. It's

Speaker 4 (01:50:25):
Is it actually cool?

Speaker 17 (01:50:27):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:50:28):
Seventy humidities way down, Yes, that's that's the.

Speaker 18 (01:50:32):
Big difference to me. The temperatures are down a little bit.
Let's see, Conrad's one of my favorite places. Ooh sixty
seven because I can always count on Conrad to be
one of the cooler spots. So yeah, like we're at
seventy or below. Golly, it's been so long since our
temperature on a dry day has been seventy.

Speaker 4 (01:50:50):
What's going on?

Speaker 18 (01:50:52):
Well, we got a one day pass with Paul, Like
today is your fall day. After that, we're gonna warm
it back up just a little bit, a little more heat,
little more humidity. But today's primo people, mid upper eighties today.
Temperatures tonight. I think when we talk tomorrow, Jimmy, we'll
be talking about temperatures in the sixties. Woo upper eighties

(01:51:15):
to low nineties. Friday, Saturday and Sunday gets a little warmer.
Monday and the humidity eventually creeps back. But you know
what pretty nice stretch of weather here through Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
Right now seventy As I said at your official severe
weather station, news Radio seven forty KTRH, what you need
to know for the day ahead.

Speaker 20 (01:51:32):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
So the Senate report on the Secret Service came out
and it's about as demming as you can get. We'll
have more on that, some reaction from a former Secret
Service agent coming up next. First, though, traffic and weather
together as we check out the drive once again with
Skyline forty five South.

Speaker 3 (01:51:52):
Let's go up from your golf freeway here, we're slow
right around Edgebrook. You hit the brakes, connect it to
downtown and it's eighteen extra minutes here eighty eight. Jason
from Alvin with the Bananas ticker. We had an unusually
decent morning outside the Beltway, a little slow after Maccarten
and then some big, big slowdowns now as you approach
to south Loop six y ten all ninety most city

(01:52:13):
expressways that blasted light at the south Loop. That's why
you're backed up an extra ten minutes northbound Southwest Freeway
breaks from the lakes, past the fountains up into downtown
to Grandma's house. That's an extra nineteen minutes northbound. I'm
skywiking the classic Elite GMC Traffic.

Speaker 2 (01:52:27):

Some sunshine for the day today, less humid with the
high eighty seven than tomorrow through Sunday. Sunday and right
about ninety each day. Temperature right now currently seventy at

We're checking out some of our top stories this morning.
Here's sher seven fifty two.

Speaker 5 (01:52:49):
On news Radio seven forty KTRH. Federal prosecutors expected to
unseal a criminal indictment they just handed down against the
New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Will do it to
the man accused of shooting that Danbury police officer here
during a domestic disturbance call Wednesday morning. Now in custody,
the wounded officer in stable condition, according to the Brazoria

(01:53:11):

Latest news anytime kturh dot com. Our next update will
be at eight am.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
Fifty nine.

Speaker 48 (01:53:37):
Inbound at the Loop is always a problem KTRH time
saving traffic connect on the ten out and it's getting
a big reaction from a lot of people, including former
Secret Service agent Richards Tripoli talking about how damning this
report is.

Speaker 28 (01:53:52):
So one that sets me on fire the most is
this response from this counter sniper.

Speaker 16 (01:53:57):
Right.

Speaker 28 (01:53:57):
This guy's job is to get up on a rooftop,
have some sort of aerial observation platform, and when he
deems it appropriate, he can fire at will.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
He doesn't require authorization from anyone.

Speaker 28 (01:54:10):
Yet, this is the same guy when he was asked
what did he see, he said, well, I saw cops
running across the field, guns drawn, pointed at the roof
of the HDR building and they asked him, well, why
didn't you say anything? He said, well, it never occurred
to me.

Speaker 13 (01:54:23):
Right.

Speaker 28 (01:54:23):
There speaks to the problem of the Secret Service. Total
incompetence is can anyone have any confidence in putting this
guy with a gun back up on a roof to
do his job.

Speaker 2 (01:54:33):
He's incapable of doing the job. And then let's talk
about this drone.

Speaker 36 (01:54:37):
Right.

Speaker 28 (01:54:37):
The key to any successful security plan is in your people.
You don't not post somebody because you're going to rely
on a mechanical or an electronic device. Redundancy is the
key to a secure and safe security plan. There's nothing
even remotely good about this. This event should never have happened.
But this went on how many times in the last year,

(01:55:00):
two years with this level of incompetence, and it just
so happened. This kid picked butler to fire those shots. Right,
What should you do with this report? If I was them,
I'd take this report. I'd bind it in leather and
distribute it to every freshman business class in every university
in the country. This is a thesis on how to
run an organization into the ground and how incompetence can permeate.

Speaker 2 (01:55:22):
An organization and destroy it. This is unrecoverable, unacceptable what
went on here.

Speaker 47 (01:55:27):
But I would say this is the federal government for
all you people watching tonight, that like oh Kamala, will
protect the government and protect the government, where no, this
is classic bureaucracy.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
Yep. My only fear about that is by blaming it
all on incompetency, then we kind of throw the idea
out of the window that there could be any sort
of help from insiders that came along for these would
be assassins. You know, we just automatically discount that. And
I'm hoping at the very least we're continuing to investigate that,

(01:56:01):
especially as it relates to the Butler Pennsylvania shooter. You
know how, you know, how was he as familiar as
he was with the sight and and and and all
the help. It would appear that he would have had
to have gotten from somebody to to build the weaponry
he had, the bombs in the car and all that
kind of stuff. That's not something your average you know,

(01:56:25):
kid in their twenties is doing these days. There's still,
I believe some for at least foreign influence involved in this.

Speaker 5 (01:56:31):
You know, it's helping the American public see that. Look,
this is a loaded deck. Something something needs to change
drastically bigly, as we say, yeah, huge, hugely.

Speaker 2 (01:56:44):
Yeah, So.

Speaker 4 (01:56:47):
I'm all for it.

Speaker 2 (01:56:48):
Just keep exposing him there you go, All right, listen,
y'all have a great day. We'll see tomorrow morning bright
nearly five am. I'll see this afternoon at four an am,
nine fifty KPRC
