now for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryan.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Good morning. Everyone is so how five oh one on
news radio seven forty k TRH. Our top story this hour.
We now have a tropical storm Helene. It was just
downgraded as of four am, and it has caused some
havoc in Georgia right now. Category one is where it
first started marching through Georgia, hitting Florida as a cat

(01:44):
for storm. We'll have more in that coming up in
just a few minutes. But also topping our news well,
it's a big photo op for borders ar Kamala Harris.
She's finally going back to the border. She was last
there oh in June of twenty twenty one, and she'll
be there today part of a campaign stop.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
There have been issues of lawlessness, nuisance, law breaking of
all sorts, you know, traffic and all the rest of it.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
Because it was underpleased.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Under policed is what they're saying. That is her campaign.
It's as I said, her first stop. She was in
El Paso back in June of twenty twenty one for
about three hours. Here closer to home, we have issues
with the Colony Ridge development and its masses of border
crossing residents. Those problems haven't gone away and is causing

(02:38):
lots of headaches for our law enforcement by attracting cartel activity.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
There have been issues of lawlessness, nuisance, law breaking of
all sorts, you know, traffic and all the rest of
it's because it was underpleased.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies says it
got so bad that Greg Abbott had to order DPS
troopers into the area in order to crack down on
the rising crime there. Well, we had an indictment in
Fort Being County yesterday of Judge KP. George on charges
of falsifying racist messages online against himself in his twenty

(03:17):
twenty two election campaign bid. Fort Ben County Commissioner Andy
Meyer says this is eye opening.

Speaker 8 (03:25):
I'm extremely disappointed. I'm very angry that anyone would try
to divide our community with such tactics.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
Yeah, Grand jury indicted George on one misdemeanor count of
using a false ID identity to influence the outcome of
an election. Now his former chief of staff was also
indicted on a similar charge earlier this year. In the
Nation's capital, a House task force investigating the assassination attempts

(03:54):
against former President Donald Trump, and they focused on the
Secrets Service as being the culprit, not local law enforcement,
for the failures of the July thirteenth assassination attempt in Butler.

Speaker 9 (04:09):
The Pennsylvania State Police provided all resources requested by the
Secret Service. The Secret Service did or did not ask
me as the officer in charge of PSPs sets to
post a car a trooper at the AGR International property.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
That testimony from John Herald with the Pennsylvania State Police.
It was a day after the Senate just released its
report that accused the Secret Service of the multiple planning
and security failures that allowed Donald Trump to be shot.
A house hearing is underway to question the Postmaster General

(04:44):
on handling of mail in ballots in this election season.

Speaker 10 (04:49):
There are major concerns being raised around inconsistent employee training
for election mail in an increase in mail return as undeliverable,
which impacts both ballot roles.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
But Joyce said that.

Speaker 10 (05:00):
Even during the pandemic in twenty twenty, election mail delivery
was a success.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Fox Is Alexandria hoff There postmaster says, well, they can
handle these ballots. But absentee voting is already kicked off
in a number of states. And we know all about
the left leaning polls that are pushed by the media
to support Kamala Harris. But guess what, there's a new
report that says the vibes are very different behind the scenes, Sharah.

Speaker 11 (05:26):
According to The Hill, some Democrats are very concerned that
the polls are undercounting the Trump vote.

Speaker 12 (05:34):
I think you look at the history of Trump over
performing the polls. I do think that these likely voter
screens are missing voters that are planning on turning out
for Trump.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
That is Bonshie with Red State.

Speaker 12 (05:46):
We won't know to election day, but I think it's
certainly something to keep an eye on, and I do
think Democrats are right to be worried.

Speaker 11 (05:52):
Even the Dems don't trust their own polling. Jeff Biggs,
News Radio seven k tierh.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Our new time now was five oh six, Okay, it's
now tropical Storm eleen Helene moving through Georgia. But boy,
it was a Cat one there and hit the Big
Ben region of Florida as a major Cat four storm overnight.
Now they've got three people dead and they have a
million three without power, the governor in Florida. But Governor

(06:23):
ron Ja Santa says, recovery operations, well, they're ready. Day's light,
they'll be out.

Speaker 13 (06:31):
We have thirty five hundred National guardsmen standing by, We
have our State guards standing by, We have State troopers
standing by, and they will be active if need be.
And I know we have a lot of our local
first responders are going to be ready to be able
to be unseen as well as needed.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Well, we've got at least five states declaring states of
emergency in advance of this storm. And of course rain
is spreading all across the Carolinas, up into content Ucky
and as far away as Saint Louis. Here at home,
gasoline prices steady this week triplea, with our statewide average
at two seventy eight a gallon, unchanged since last week.

(07:11):
Houston's average fell another two cents. It's two seventy two here.
National average is still at three twenty two. A Gallon
State Fair will kick off today in Dallas, in the
middle of an ongoing dispute the legal battle with the
AG challenging whether it is legal for the fair to
declare a ban on licensed gun owners carrying inside the park.

(07:34):
Paxson has appealed the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court,
but the fair will open. It is now five o seven.

starting Tuesday night. They wrap up the regular season this
weekend though in Cleveland. Live coverage will be at Sports
Talk seven ninety five PM, and then kt ORH will

(07:56):
join that game in progress at seven. I'm Sheriff Ryar
on news Radio seven forty krh HI.

Speaker 14 (08:02):
Let's talk radio all the time.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
The world doesn't wait for you.

Speaker 15 (08:05):
To clock out.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
I usually have it on all day at work, so check.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
In office day up to date we used radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Well, speaking of delivered the mail, when it does get
delivered in a timely fashion, if you put a stamp
on it right, well, the price of stamps he is
going to continue to rise. They were going to do
a hike. US Post Office was going to to Postal
Service USPS, to be technical about it, was going to
do a hike in January. They have evidently changed their

(08:35):
mind about that, but they did announce yesterday that they
want to raise stamp prices five times over the next
three years. Now, the devil, of course, is always in
the detail. How much do they want to raise the
price that they're not saying just that they're going to
raise it, or to hope to raise it five times
over the next three years. I guess that they want
to do what they can. There's nothing to stop them,

(08:55):
right they make that decision for themselves. But I also
saw this story which I think it was kind of cool.
Would you like to be a Santa Helper for Christmas?
UPS has over one hundred and twenty five thousand openings
for holiday hiring. Thaky Chandler's make twenty one bucks an hour.
Seasonal package delivery drivers get twenty three dollars per hour,

(09:16):
and commercial driver's licensed drivers get also twenty three dollars
per hour. So if you're looking for you know, part
time gig, if you will over the holidays, there's a
chance to make some extra money. Five ten high for
traffic and weather together Skymike in studio while we take
a ballpeen hammer to his.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
I know I'm not supposed to hit things I forgot.
Let's look on the marketed for you. Thank you, thank you.

This morning. I'm Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com
traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
From our KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four hour. Whether
Senator Terry Smith is here? What a storm surge in Florida?
Something else on Terry?

Speaker 16 (10:17):
Well, it really is and and it's kind of hard
to comprehend what it means to say that the ocean
that you're used to seeing at a certain point along
the coast has risen to the point that it's covering
the first floor of some of those coastal homes and businesses. Unfortunately,
that part of Florida is very, very susceptible to storm surge,

(10:41):
and there still have storm surge warnings. Even though the
tropical storm now it's a tropical storm Hellen is in
Middle Georgia, that on shore push of water is still
impacting the coast from Appalachicola into Perry and then further south.
So yeah, it's as the sun comes up, we'll have

(11:03):
a better sense of just how bad it was. But
it was a Category four one hundred and forty mile
an hour hurricane when it made landfall.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Last night, we got.

Speaker 16 (11:10):
Quiet weather and that I'm very grateful for. Actually sunshine.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherra with the
info you need to take on the day. All right,
here's another lawmaker inquiry shaa that nothing will come of,
but I find it interesting. Lawmakers are launching an inquiry
into the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, wanting

(11:53):
to know why the jobs numbers have been so wrong.
Like we don't know the answer to that question. We
know why the job numbers have been wrong. They've been purposely.
They've been releasing numbers that make it look like there's
more jobs being filled than than not.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Well, listen to eleunction.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
You know, yeah, federal government announcing earlier this year that
previous jobs data had far overestimated how many jobs the
US economy created last year. In fact, the federal data
was revised downward by eight hundred thousand jobs. You may recall,
the largest revision since two thousand and nine. Who was
in the White House in two thousand and nine when
that happened?

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Obama?

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Really coincidence? No same playbook, I think, yeah, very same playbook.
All right? Five? Funny time for traffic and whether together.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I don't even trust baseball statistics anymore, notne for coming
from the White House. Gy mess with anything, all right, point,

It is now five twenty one on news Radio seven
forty ktrhi's headlines. You're sponsored by Moral Mechanical. Ukraine President
Vlodimir Zelinsky, after campaigning for Kamala in Pennsylvania, presented a

Tamala with my salad please. Five twenty two is our
time here in Houston's Born News. Plenty of wards sal
During that MSNBC interview between Kamala Harris and Stephanie Rule,
who let it be known that it really doesn't matter
if Kamala does not have any specifics as it relates
to policy. She's not Trump. You just have to remember
she's not Trump. We don't need specific answers. We just

(15:16):
need to know that she's not Trump. Here's Jesse Waters
analysis of the interview on MSNBC, Kamala's.

Speaker 17 (15:23):
First solo interview on a major news network. Bombed Harris
came in thirteenth place on MSNBC. More people watch the
WNBA than Kamala Harris. There's no appetite because we know
what to expect, which is nothing. Kamala Harris isn't going
to say anything for the rest of her life, even

(15:44):
if she wanted to. She's not allowed to. If you're
looking for a vision, a plan, an explanation about her
pastor even how she's going to accomplish what she wants
to do.

Speaker 15 (15:55):
The only one who has the answer.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Is Barack Obama.

Speaker 17 (15:58):
Maybe you'll run into him in Hawaii Hei, the place
where he was born two days in a row. The
New York Times agrees with Jesse Waters Primetime quote basic
and predictable questions with roundabout responses that did not provide
a substance of answer, elicited few details. A hard hitting
Harris interview is still yet to come. Even CNN says

(16:22):
Kamala Harris's interviews are biased, boring and predictable.

Speaker 18 (16:27):
What I can tell from this interview tonight, which was
really a home game, I mean going on with this
particular interviewer, It was like effectively interviewing with her campaigns
press secretary. She had nothing, nothing new to say on
the economy beyond this ridiculous pablem. You want to talk
about aspirations and dreams. They're crushed in this country because
of inflation, and these kinds of interviews and the day
that she had today are not going to solve it.

Speaker 17 (16:49):
She spent five days off the campaign trail preparing for
this interview, and this is what she gave us.

Speaker 19 (16:56):
We have ambition, we have aspirations, we have trees such chance.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
To pursue their dreams and aspirations.

Speaker 15 (17:06):
We can do.

Speaker 8 (17:07):
More to invest in the aspiration of the ambitions and
the dreams of the American people.

Speaker 20 (17:12):
If we're going to invest in the aspirations and the
ambitions and the dreams of the American people, these are.

Speaker 17 (17:18):
Just buzzwords Obama's people tell her to say because she
doesn't have a grasp of the issues, and she can't
be honest about her agenda because it's too radical to
be electable. So the media has moved on to a
new phase. Phase one was joy because she's not Joe Biden.
Phase two she's hiding from us, but that's okay, Joe

(17:39):
will eventually come around.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Phase three was she had a great debate, but we
still didn't learn anything.

Speaker 17 (17:46):
And we've arrived at phase four after a couple of
interviews where she struggles to connect the dots. It's not
her fault she doesn't answer questions.

Speaker 21 (17:56):
One could watch that and say, well, she didn't give
a clear, direct answer.

Speaker 10 (17:59):
That's okay because we are not talking about clear or
direct issues.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's definity rule at the end from MSABC. It's okay
because you know these issues are kind of murky to
begin so it's okay. It's all right, she doesn't give
us an answer.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
Yeah, what's murky about jobs? Money crime?

Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Well, here's that's a bit murky.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
The problem. The problem is is that the real answers
to those questions. She knows she can't give, and she's
she's given out a little bit here and there, like
in telling.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
You holistically, I'm going to approach it holistically, in a
holistic manner. Holistically, that's what her acts.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
But what she has, what she has had to say
scarcely Beijieva's a lot of people like raising the corporate
tax you know, which we all pay for when they
raise the corporate taxes, how she wants to raise it.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
And unrealized capital gains that would affect everybody unbelievable. Would
you like to pay additional taxes on your home without
selling it?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, without actually knowing what it's worth, just.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Because some bureaucrack comes in and tells you this is
what your house is. Now you owe me this in
taxes in addition to your property tech.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Well, buy house is worth that? Are you going to
pay me that for that house? No, they're not going
to do that. Five TWI. It is time to take
a look at your money. Happy Friday, Courtney donaho Well, good.

Speaker 21 (19:11):
Morning, Jimmy. This morning stocks are a little change the
head of a busy day on Wall Street. Later this
morning we get key economic reports on inflation and consumer sentiment. Yesterday,
another record high for stocks. The Dow gained two hundred
and sixty points. One of the big movers was Southwest Airlines.
Investors gave a thumbs up to the carrier's turnaround plan.
The airline will begin selling assigned seats late next year

(19:34):
and offer a premium fare. Shoppers are buying more non
food items at Costco. The warehouse chain posted earnings at
top to Wall Street expectations. Costco says furniture and tires
sold especially well, while consumer electronics and appliances are getting cheaper.
Costco's also getting some holiday goods early due to the
potential East Coast port strike, and another company is telling

(19:55):
workers that they have to come back to the office
full time. Dell has ordered its salespeople back to their
desks five days a week starting next week. The announcement
comes on the hills of a similar request from Amazon
last week. Cortney Donahoe Bloomberg Business on News Radio seven

last night, southeast of Tallahassee. It was a Cat for
Hurricane now downgraded four am this morning to a tropical
storm after slamming through Georgia as a Cat one, also

(22:00):
topping our news thirty nine days to election day. We
already know the true colors of the media covering it.
It's blue but print, mainstream TV and cable performing as
a propaganda arm of the Democrats has alienated huge portions
of their audiences.

Speaker 24 (22:17):
The American people are beginning to hate the media because
of this.

Speaker 25 (22:21):
I think Americans would like to see corporate media hold
Kamala Harris accountable for the many things that she has
done or hasn't done.

Speaker 24 (22:29):
The Federalists Matt Kittle says that instead, the media just
continues to push left wing narratives.

Speaker 25 (22:34):
They're going to keep doing this until the money says
they can't do it anymore, until the big ad buys
dry up because they don't have an audience anymore.

Speaker 24 (22:43):
Kittle says that COVID and the second Trump assassination attempt
were the perfect examples of the media's disturbing behavior. Ethan

Not just among the so called journalists, It's late night
comedy went politically woke and created rapidly falling audience insist
there's an alternative emerging.

Speaker 26 (23:02):
Though.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Saturday Night Live alum Rob Schneider told Katie Orchis, Clay
and Buck Show that the late night audience is suddenly
flocking to Fox News.

Speaker 27 (23:13):
All those late night guys, all those monologues. I mean,
there was no original voice in any of them. You
could have interchanged them all. It didn't matter. I mean
you could see. What happens is people are tired of
being told what to think and they want to make
their own decisions. And that's why Greg Guttfeld is the
number one show right now.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
They like to laugh too. Schneider also believes his old
show Saturday Night Live, is trying to be more even
handed in recent years after seeing its ratings collapse. Ukraine
President Vladimir Zelensky campaigned for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania and
then met with Joe Biden at the White House, who
offered him another eight billion dollars in aid. Harri's House

(23:49):
Oversight Committee chairman James Comer on Fox News.

Speaker 28 (23:53):
At the end of the day, it doesn't appear that
Ukraine is going to be able to accomplish their mission,
the mission that Zelinsky when he meets with Congressman privately,
without the help of American troops.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Yeah, cannot win the war against Russia without American troops.
Cilicia asked Donald Trump for a meeting apparently it is
now on today at the Trump Tower in New York.
Trump says he has a decisive negotiating plan that would
end the war between Ukraine and Russia, stop the killing,

(24:26):
and again asserted the war wouldn't have started had he
been president. Secret Service on the hot seed in a
bipartisan House Task Force investigation of the assassination attempts against Trump,
Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Mike Kelly is leading that he was
on Fox News talking about all the funding that now
has been added by Congress just recently in that Continuing

(24:51):
Resolution to keep the government open.

Speaker 29 (24:53):
You know, the answer to everything isn't always more money.
Sometimes the answers we need the personnel in the right
place at the right time, and make sure whatever you
deploy that you're deploying it to the right place for
the right reasons.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, the Continuing Resolution added two hundred and thirty one
million dollars to bolster Secret Service coverage. Despite all these
threats in his life, Donald Trump will be guess what
attending the Georgia Alabama game tomorrow night in Tuscaloosa.

Speaker 11 (25:23):
Surey, and light of the two assassination attempts, what kind
of security challenge are we looking at for the Secret Service?

Speaker 26 (25:31):
I think it's going to be a little bit more
difficult a stadium. I've advanced and protected people in some
of the bigger arenas. Can you break it down to
the simple areas where the president is going to be.

Speaker 11 (25:40):
That's Frank Robertson, CEO of the Black Rhino Protection Group.

Speaker 26 (25:46):
I think you need to have extra counter surveillance in
the crowd. You have to have a certain level that
hadn't been there before on that side, because that's where
you're going to catch the folks in the crowds, especially
in an event like a football game.

Speaker 11 (25:56):
In the meantime, Trump already has his game day menu planned.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
It's five point thirty six now and this one is
from the category of big The motor voter programs lead
to illegal voting. That's a new report. It finds that
all these states, there are several of them that offer
blanket voter registrations at their motor vehicles off as the
DMV regardless of citizenship status is the culprit. Jay Christian

(26:30):
Adams with the Public Interest Legal Foundation testified before Congress
about this.

Speaker 30 (26:36):
My organization is found in California, Florida, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and other states where applicants actually admitted on
the registration form they weren't US citizens and still got
registered to vote.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
They get registered, they don't necessarily vote, but somebody else
now can go and do a bogus ballot on their registration.
See how that works. Texas recently removed more than a
million ineligible voters from our roles, and among them sixty
five hundred non citizens, some who have already voted in

(27:11):
past elections. So in our real lives, why are so
many employers working to get their workers back in the office. Well,
some bosses get this, Jimmy. They say it's a way
to get people to quit.

Speaker 31 (27:27):
It is hard for a company to terminate an employee.
Yet if you make a demand for them to come
back in office and they refuse to do so, there
is the ability then to terminate or for that person
to quit.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Or make their lives miserable when they're there. Workplace expert
Maya Ratcliffe there, she says productivity. That's also the lapse
in it. That's why they need workers back on site.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Five thirty nine is their time here on the Houston's
Morning News. You ever heard of the waffle House Index?
There is a waffle house even waffle House has on
their website. The waffle House Index explains what it is.
It is one of the most accurate ways to know
how strong a storm is. If if they go red
at the waffle House, you know you've got a bad storm.

Speaker 26 (28:39):
Here.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Here's here's how the index work. Green means the restaurant
is serving a full menu, a signal that damage in
an area is limited. The lights are on. Yellow means
a limited menu, indicating power from a generator at best
in low food supplies. Red means the restaurant is closed
and waffle House never closes less it is really really bad.

(29:03):
Guess what waffle House in Tallahassee. Every single location is closed. Yep,
they're all red. I don't know if they're well. Check
with Terry in a moment, seef they're reading in the
Atlanta area at all?

Speaker 5 (29:15):
For you know, we always talk about making lambfall and
where it makes lamp fall, and that would be the eye. Right,
it's the eye. But as we know from Beryl, it's
all those surrounding areas getting the whiplashes, the leading edge
of the storm, the continuing edge of the storm, right,
the left, the what if you know, and really, the
entire state of Florida has issues. Yeah, they The entire

(29:39):
state of Georgia does too.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, they got messed up. We'll get an update from
Terry here in the second. First though, waffle yep, it's
red wafflouse covered his mother's got.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Why do they yell at the poor guy that's cooking though,
I mean they're like four feet away.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
Honey, without without power, he ain't cooking.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
No man, there's nothing covered smothered to the town waffle
house this morning. What's going on over the rush?

Speaker 4 (30:02):
She's oh, it's downtown. This might be kind of sticky here.
I forty five Pierce Elevated before Allen Parkway. That's a
wreck with two left lanes. I noticed the way we've
put it's not a wreck, that's construction. That explains that.
All right, So we're backed up here. I'm going from
here to there. That's why we're backed up from Scott
Street on the northbound. Let's take the east text elevated instead.

(30:24):
This is a wreck this time six ' ten we
loop northbound the off ramp two Memorial. The main lanes
of the west Loop are rocking along. Look at you
going both ways for now. It's a Friday. I'm skylike

in the Atlanta area open this morning? Terry?

Speaker 5 (30:46):
You know, we do have some power outages.

Speaker 16 (30:48):
They're not as widespread as what we saw on the
west coast of Florida. But I got in here before
the winds have gotten too bad. It's the rain that's
the most problems so far in Georgia. We've had some
hurricane force winds in South Georgia, but the winds haven't
been quite as bad now that the hurricane's weakening. By

(31:10):
the way, I went to school in Tallahassee it is
such a beautiful city with all those huge oak trees,
So I'm not looking forward to seeing pictures once the

News Radio seven forty KTRH what you need to know
for the day ahead.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
I never eat lunch. Five forty eight is our time
here in Houston's porn News. Breakfast and dinner, No, no
lunch in between. But did you hear who was having
lunch yesterday? Tim Walls, the Democrat vice presidential candidate, was
having lunch with Alex Soros.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
Imagine that. Now you know who pays the bills. Now
you know who's giving the mark son of now handling
the vast fortunes of George Soros.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Now you know who's issuing the marching orders too. At
least that's what Charlie Hurt and doctor Drew thing.

Speaker 32 (32:18):
The picture that Alex Soros released on Instagram and on
Twitter is like political That is political suicide right there.
You have a guy in a billionaires apartment in New
York City with the city skape behind them. And of
course this guy inherited all of his money from his daddy.

(32:42):
And what I think is so interesting about this picture
is the campaign didn't release this. It was Alex Soros
who released this picture. And the reason that that he
released the picture is because he not only did Tim
Walls come to his apartment to sell his soul, he
wants the world to know that he owns his soul.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
That's what that picture.

Speaker 32 (33:04):
And I guarantee you that Kamala Harris campaign when they
saw that picture on the Internet, they freaked out, but
there's nothing they could do because they got bought by
this guy.

Speaker 33 (33:15):
This is, to me, is the most horrifying story of
the night. I come from the great state of California,
which is post Harris ag Soros, DA's all over the place.
It's a catastrophe. If that's really the guy dictating their policy,
I can't believe anything she says. So all those pleasantries
that were empty, that weren't specific. If this guy, as

(33:38):
you're saying, Charlie has the specifics.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
We should be just mortified. Yeah, because it destroyed California.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, well they'll destroy the country. But then again, I
think that's the idea. You think shoredd they haven't already
many How many Americans do you think know who George
and or Alex Soros is?

Speaker 5 (33:57):
Oh man, only ones who pay attention? Yeah, and certainly,
and you have to cut that number in half.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
It almost makes who want to run out and take
take a man on the street survey, right, yeah, yeah,
who's George Soros?

Speaker 5 (34:13):
And see what kind of answer is you know George
Soros is Yeah, exactly, I know it was. You know
when the last ten or fifteen, the guy first moved
in by contributing to schools, school districts, he brought a
lot George Soros did, and so I knew a lot
of people here in Houston who thought that he was
just a savior of our school districts because he was
providing money, yeah, for indoctrination of our students.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
You know, they looked at me like I had horns
on my head when I said, you better take another
look at media matters and all these so called nonprofits
right that he headlines yeah.

Speaker 26 (34:46):
I think.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
I think there's a lot of people who have no
idea who he is, what he does, and how he
has impacted the world of politics these days. All right,
dime for traffic and whether it's together talks to George Soros.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Does he have to go?

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yes, Master, I will do your I'm pretty sure the
George Arrow sounds exactly.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Thirty year old son that he was having lunch with, exactly.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
All right, let's go. We've got to forty nine. Not
the Tomball part of two forty nine. Why do I
sound like that? Let's check that out there. Not the
Tomball part of two forty nine, but the part of
two forty nine that is on the south of the
Beltway right around Montgomery Road. We've got an accident here.
It looks like nothing good's happening here. They've shut this
whole sucker down. So that is looking like you don't

(35:32):
want to go there for now. If that's their normal route,
Let's just reroute to forty five or the west Sam,

(36:24):
George has been indicted on a misdemeanor charge of using
a false identity to post racist messages against himself online
during his twenty twenty two election sympathy vote. George's former's
chief of staff, by the way, indicted on similar charges
earlier this year. And Jimmy, have you seen those ads

(36:45):
self proclaimed ex Trump Republican voters they say supposedly backing Harris.
Now they've been exposed as professional actors.

but tax free these days, and if, of course, if
Kamala Harris gets elected, there'll be tons of board taxes.
Corey Lewandowski, who's the Trump advisor, on Fox yesterday talking
about the difference between her economic plans and Trump's.

Speaker 34 (37:33):
Why are we losing manufacturing jobs because Kamala Harris, Joe Biden,
and Tim Wallas have said, we don't care about putting
America first. We're willing to give others the opportunity to
eat our lunch every single day. They can manipulate their currency,
they can flood our markets with bad products and no
ramifications because their idea of foreign policy is the word don't.

Speaker 35 (37:53):
Well, you're going to have to build back if Trump
is elected, You're going to have to build back those
manufacturing jobs and Trump's plan. I'm intrigued by this bonus
fifteen percent corporate rate that he'd give to companies that
use American made parts, but I'm not sure exactly how
it would work out. Is that one hundred percent American

(38:13):
parts you have to use to get that bonus fifteen
percent rate.

Speaker 34 (38:16):
You can't use one hundred percent of American parts when
we know.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
That, how do you use how do you all it?
How do you look at.

Speaker 34 (38:21):
When it comes to things that are called made in America, right,
there's a criteria.

Speaker 14 (38:24):
It can't be two percent made in America.

Speaker 34 (38:26):
It's going to be the plurality of the product made
in America because it's very possible, particularly in high end items.
You have to import some of the components, but you
have to assemble it here in this country.

Speaker 14 (38:34):
And what we should be so you're.

Speaker 35 (38:35):
Talking, just to be clear, so you're talking about assembling
it all here. You're not talking about all US made parts.

Speaker 34 (38:41):
It's going to be very difficult to make all those now.
Of course we want that, David, but you can't stop
the supply chain from moving forward by saying it can
only be manufactured in the US. Because of the draconian
policies of this administration. These manufacturers can't get up to
speed in time.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
And so what are we seeing.

Speaker 34 (38:56):
We're seeing our big manufacturers moving overseas, taken benefit from
being outside of this country and then being able to
put their products back into this country at the detriment of.

Speaker 36 (39:05):
Our own workers.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
There you go, that's how it works. So the idea
here is Dubai American obviously, and to manufacture in America.
And they realize that not everything can be made with
all one hundred percent of American parts, but I think that's
the goal. Five point fifty six. Now Here on News

Our top story this hour is so called borders. Are
Kamala Harris making her photo op visit to the Arizona
border today? Maria Espinoza of the Remembrance Project says it's
a sorry attempt to fool people, and it's going to
end up backfiring.

Speaker 19 (41:24):
Her numbers will continue to drop because more and more
people are seeing what she is, and especially now it's
clear that she's only making this little move to go
to the border in Arizona because her polls are so bad.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
She says. Kamala's ideas, if you want to call them,
that would turn this country into a giant, failed California colony. Ridge,
the North Houston development, which has become a hotbed for
cartel activity, now facing multiple lawsuits from both the state
of Texas and as well the federal government.

Speaker 24 (42:00):
Despite efforts to have the lawsuits dismissed, the legal trouble continues.

Speaker 6 (42:04):
These lawsuits have the potential to shut down any further
expansion out there and possibly ruin the company.

Speaker 24 (42:13):
Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies told KTRH
there are also allegations of false advertising.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
The land was good, but actually it's flood zones and
it floods out. The properties were affordable, but they're charging
massive interest rates.

Fort beIN County judge Democrat KP. George. He's been indicted
on a misdemeanor charge of falsifying his identity and posting
racist messages against himself online during his twenty twenty two
election two years ago. Fort being commissioner County Commissioner Republican
Andy Meyer says, this kind of intentional divisiveness is shocking.

Speaker 20 (43:01):
I think what we see here, the story that's come together,
is that there was a series of cascating failures. I mean, anyone.

Speaker 8 (43:08):
If he is guilty, and he knows whether he's guilty
or not, he said, first of all, apologize to the community,
and then second he should resign from office. If he's
guilty of this, he truly cannot lead this accounting.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
He's got two years left in his term. George's former
chief of staff, by the way, indicted on similar charges
just earlier this year, US Secret Service facing questions from
a bipartisan House test force investigating the Trump assassination attempts.
Colorado Democratic Congressman Jason Crowe he joined Fox's special report,
claiming that it was just the result of a chain

(43:42):
of mistakes.

Speaker 20 (43:44):
I think what we see here, the story that's come together,
is that there was a series of cascating failures. I mean,
any one of those failures alone could have been catastrophic,
but there were a series of them in this case.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
Yeah, Donald Trump was wounded in the ear, as you recall,
along with two other rallygoers during the July thirteenth, Pennsylvania attack.
One man was killed. Now, Donald Trump's lawyers were in
a New York appeals court yesterday asking a five judge
panel to overturn that four hundred and eighty nine million

(44:21):
dollar civil fraud verdict that was given to him by
that judge, Erdigone against the Trump organization earlier this year.
No timetable for when the Appeals Court will rule on that.
Postmaster General in the hot seat Donald Trump and Congress
questioning if the Postal Service can humanely, accurately and legally

(44:45):
handle mail in ballots.

Speaker 10 (44:48):
Postmaster General Lewis to Joy reminded legislators that last presidential
election he'd only been on the job for three months.
Since then, he says there's been increased oversight, enhanced internal auditing,
and he also spoke about a process which separates ballots
from the rest of the mail and expedites them.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
Is he up to the job? There have been a
lot of questions about inconsistent employee training for election mail,
as well as a huge increase in so called undeliverable mail.
What is that? There's a new report from the Hill
that senior Democrats privately concerned that all of the pro
Harris polls are actually under counting the actual support for

(45:26):
Donald Trump.

Speaker 12 (45:29):
If I'm a Democrat, I'm worried because I am looking
back and saying, you know, this thing's a heck of
a lot tighter polling wise than it was in twenty twenty.
And if there's anywhere close to the same kind of air,
Trump's going to walk away with it, and so they
have every reason to be concerned.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
They need to know so they can manufacture the ballots,
don't they banchi with Red State. An anonymous Democrat senator
called the recent poll that they are getting ominous. You've
got negotiations resuming today and the strike that will be

because the story sounds like a parody, only it's not.
It's true.

Speaker 5 (47:30):
The Canadian government, yeah, it is in Canada. That's the reason.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
The Knadian government, the Trudeau government, the Liberal government there
is trying to teach the Amish a lesson. I'm not
sure what the lesson is. Maybe that we don't want
you here. Maybe that's the lesson. They are finding the
homage community over three hundred there's a huge community in Chatsworth, Ontario,

(47:56):
and they're finding that community three hundred thousand dollars for
failure to download an app, a government app you realize, right,
the Amish don't have smartphones or cars or electricity. They
are the Amish. They don't use apps. They don't use smartphones,

(48:18):
but they're finding them just the same. It's the Arrived
can app that came out during COVID nineteen. During the pandemic.
The app was mandatory for anybody entering Canada, requiring travelers
to submit their health information digitally. The Amish, however, do
not use, as they said, smartphones, let alone apps. They
also have religious exemptions from vaccinations they don't have. They

(48:40):
didn't have to take the COVID nineteen vaccination. Why would
they need to have the app? No need whatsoever. But
they're still getting fined.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
But how can they keep tabs on them and identify
them as domestic terrorists if they don't have a digital footprint.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
It is not hard to spot the Amish. Just look
for the horse and bucky Sharah.

Just about six twenty is our time. It's hard to believe,
but we just don't hate the corporate media enough. We
need we need more hate of corporate media. At least
that's the opinion of Michael Walls, who's a legendary reporter
and media critic. We'll talk to Matt Kittle about it.
He wrote an article for The Federalist. He's their senior
election correspondent. We'll talk to him about it. Coming up next, first, though,

Speaker 3 (54:14):
Six twenty two our time here in Houston's morning news.
All right, the corporate media MSNBC comes to mind. Stephanie
Rules on my mind because of this, this this horrific
interview she did with Kamala Harris, where after the interview
she basically said, no, she didn't give us any specifics.
But that's okay. She's not Donald Trump. I mean, I'm paraphrasing,
but That's basically what she said. So it's easy to

(54:35):
hate on her. But evidently we're not hating on corporate
media nearly enough. Matt Kittle joins US senior election correspondent
at the Federal's sort of story about this. I don't
care much. Do we need to hate them in order
to render them ineffective? Is that the point of the article?

Speaker 26 (54:52):
Matt?

Speaker 7 (54:55):
Can't we all just get along right?

Speaker 15 (55:00):
Listen?

Speaker 39 (55:00):
There are some really outstanding journalists out there today. We
meet at a dunkin Donuts as a support group every
other Tuesday. But no, I mean this is Look, we're
at a weird time in America where we have journalists
in this country, a massive amounts of corporate as I

(55:23):
like to call them, accomplice media, you know that are
totally in the bag for one party and in the
presidential election, you know, one candidate.

Speaker 7 (55:33):
It's bizarre.

Speaker 5 (55:36):
What's worse about that, though, is there are people who
don't have They have busy lives and they don't have
time to distinguish between media and when you have all
this mainstream stuff and people who are set in their
ways and wanting to get it from their local TVs
or their old ABC's of the world. They don't even
know that there's an alternate side to this story. They've

(55:58):
just bought into the whole thing.

Speaker 39 (56:01):
You're you're absolutely right, and they don't have time, and
so they don't get, you know, the total story. They
don't get context. Listen, we have, you know, a situation
in this country, an unprecedented situation where we have GOP
presidential candidate, a former president who was you know, the

(56:22):
subject of assassination attempts, attempts. That's a sad part of
where we're at in this country today. And we have
the New York Times and NBC's Lester Holt leading that
story off by saying, you know, the president kind of
had it coming because you know, he brought all of
his on so old, this heated rhetoric. That's that's disturbing,

(56:49):
and that's a narrative we've seen, you know, in this election.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
You know, it feels like the genies out of the
bottle on this one, though, Is there ever are we
ever going to go back in this in this country
time you think where journalists played down the middle, where
you don't really know what their politics are. They're just
asking questions, fair questions, tough questions of both sides.

Speaker 7 (57:09):
Yeah, I think you're right. I think that ship has sailed.

Speaker 39 (57:13):
It's it's something that's changed over the years, and it's
really gotten significantly worse, obviously with what I like to
call Trump derangement syndrome over the last nearly a decade
or so. And it's just this kind of activism journalist journalism.
But what's worse than anything is we have you know,

(57:34):
corporate media in this country now fighting against the things
that you know, they're so important to journalists, including the
First Amendment.

Speaker 7 (57:44):
It is a very strange time in America. I'm that friend.

Speaker 5 (57:48):
Well, is very telling when you find that political campaigns
have to post bonafide things on x and on Trump
True Social and on these alternate social media sites because
they can't get a fair shake from the ones who
hold the titles.

Speaker 39 (58:06):
And that's I guess the encouraging thing is that we've
seen the transition, we've seen the disillusion of you know,
print media over the years. There's so many different sources,
but there's so much more noise now and ultimately what
you have is, you know, this this conglomerate that's pushing

(58:28):
the same message, the same narrative, and that's dangerous in America.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
It is Matt Kittle, thanks for joining us. Good to

Speaker 5 (01:01:10):
Everyone is six thirty two on news Radio seven forty
KTRH is new sponsored by all Star Construction. Top story
this hour of the media continuing to show its bias
very openly, recently going as far as to blame Donald
Trump himself for the assassination attempts against him.

Speaker 25 (01:01:29):
New York Times led their story about the second assassination
attempt on Donald Trump's life by saying he deserved it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:40):
Federalist Matt Kittle there. He told KTRH the media is
going to keep doing this until big advertising buys start
to dry up because they've lost not just their conservative audience,
their MAGA audience, they've lost their entire audience. Conservative underground
in Hollywood though alive and well. One of its memory

(01:02:00):
is Rob Schneider, actor, comedian, Saturday Night Live alumnus. He
tells kt h's Clay and Buck Show there are actually
more conservatives in show business than we might think.

Speaker 27 (01:02:13):
I got a call from an Academy Award winning son
of an actor, and he said, listen, I agree with
everything you say, and I want to speak up too,
but I'm worried about losing work. And I said, you
will lose work and it will cost you money, but
it's going to cost you more to not speak your mind.

Speaker 5 (01:02:26):
Yeah, it's a business, you know. Schneider says, Hollywood's going
to ultimately have to follow the lead of the audience.
Kamala Harris took no questions from reporters when hosting Yes.
She hosted the Ukraine President Zelensky as a campaign supporter
in Pennsylvania yesterday. Zelensky then met with Joe Biden to
accept the White House pledge of another eight billion dollars

(01:02:49):
in aid for that country. Now, Kentucky Republican House Oversight
Committee Chairman James Comer went on Fox News and he
warned Zelensky is desperate for American troops in a addition
to weapons, to strike into Russia.

Speaker 28 (01:03:04):
At the end of the day, it doesn't appear that
Ukraine is going to be able to accomplish their mission,
the mission that Zelensky outlines when he meets with Congressman privately,
without the help of American troops.

Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
Yeah, money laundering, that's all it is. Trump calls this
the edge of World War three, and he is going
to be meeting with Zelensky today at Trump Tower in
New York. Trump says he has a plan, he knows
how to negotiate the end of this war between Ukraine
and Russia. He asserted it wouldn't have even started had
he been president. It's now six thirty four Secret Service

(01:03:41):
under a barrage of questioning as a bipartisan House task
force investigating the Trump assassination attempts Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Mike
Kelly on Fox News talks about well, they have added
more money to the Secret Service that was included in
that continuing resolution to fund the government.

Speaker 29 (01:04:04):
The answer to everything isn't always more money. Sometimes the
answers we need the personnel in the right place at
the right time, and make sure whatever you deploy that
you're deploying it to the right place for the right reasons.

Speaker 5 (01:04:15):
Nonetheless, they gave two hundred and thirty one million dollars
to the Secret Service between now and the end of
the year. These failures of Secret Service and these ongoing
threats against the president's life, why is Donald Trump attending
tomorrow night's big college football game in Alabama. Frank Robson

(01:04:37):
with the Black Rhino Protection says, well, that's Trump.

Speaker 26 (01:04:41):
I'm sure former President Trump is worried about his family,
He's worried about himself with what's going on. I'm sure
they have those conversations at the Secret Service. But the
directive of the Secret Service is to get the assignment
and protect their protecteed.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
Well, maybe the money's going to help. It is now
six thirty six illegal voters. They're being added to the
roles all across this country. In all of these states,
motor voter programs you know, get your driver's license, get
registered to vote.

Speaker 40 (01:05:10):
Oh An investigation by the Public Interest Legal Foundation finds
DMV voter registration systems are signing up non citizens in
several states. The group's president, J. Christian Adams, detailed the
findings before Congress.

Speaker 30 (01:05:23):
A faulty motor voter system facilitates alien registration and then voting.
We discovered this most dramatically in Pennsylvania in twenty seventeen,
where every Pennot customer was offered voter registration for an
estimated two decades, regardless of citizenship.

Speaker 40 (01:05:39):
In addition, they found hundreds of people who reported as
non citizens on their registration forms were registered anyway. Texas
recently removed thousands of non citizens found on voter rolls.

Sixty thirty nine is our time where Hell's getting to
work out this morning with the stories we have for you.
One woman lost seven hundred and forty eight pounds of
bologney or bologna. How are you still it bologney blooney,
I mean, you know at the border, at the Texas border,
she was traveling from the United States. If she's traveling

(01:07:56):
from Mexico to the United States, when she went through
US customer contraband, yeah, she she she only declared that
she had a meal, some sort of a prepared meal.
But something told them there was more going on. So
they started opening up some of her suitcases in the
back of the vehicle and they that's when they found

(01:08:17):
that seven hundred and forty eight pounds of bologny. Also,
they found two hundred and eighty boxes of undeclared prescription
medications and seven six hundred dollars in concealed currency.

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
Nice little record there. In other words, she was a mule.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
But of all, okay, let's let's let's let's let's go
with the mule theory. How do we explain the boloney?

Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
Well, I would hate to go to the taco stand
that she's servicing.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
I mean, that's the one that really has to make
you wonder write prescription medications. Okay, I get that cash.
I get that part too.

Speaker 5 (01:08:52):
It's all black market. Yeah, so you know, be careful.
Were you seven? Be careful where you buy your tacos?

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
I guess, I guess do you make tacos out of bolooney?

Speaker 5 (01:09:03):
Well, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
So I'm trying to think. What's the ingredients in Bologne?

Speaker 5 (01:09:10):
This ground up beef?

Speaker 3 (01:09:11):
Yeah, could be pork, beef, chicken, turkey, venus round up,
could be anything.

It is.

Speaker 16 (01:11:14):
It's moving almost directly north at thirty miles an hour,
which is good for the places that have already dealt
with the rain and wind, but that is bringing those
gusty winds and heavy rains into North Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina. I just saw an update that there are
about two and a half million people between Georgia, South

(01:11:36):
Carolina and North Carolina that are under flooding emergencies, which
means that the flooding is happening now and happening rapidly.
So Helene may be a tropical storm, but it's still

All right, Donala Harrison her way to Arizona, but she's
probably already there. Six fifty two is their time here.
In Houston's morning News, Representative Debbie Lasco asked a couple
of things yesterday on her pending visit. Number one, who
do Arizonans blame for problems with immigration? Illegal immigration at
the border. And also she got asked about a poll

(01:15:36):
showing the top three concerns among Arizona voters. The poll
seems suspect to me, but anyway, here we go.

Speaker 41 (01:15:41):
Well, Arizona voters blame Kamala Harris and Joe Biden because
they are the rightfully hurt people that have ruined the
border and have an open border policies. I find it
interesting that she's going to Douglas, Arizona, because there's a
great photo of where the wall actually stops right in Douglas, Arizona,

(01:16:02):
so that all these illegal migrants can cross right over.
And I suppose she's not going to pose in front
of that place because it was her and President Biden
that stop construction of the boarder wall.

Speaker 35 (01:16:14):
On issues, it's very interesting the number one issue that
voters care about, according to a Maris Pole anyways, preserving
democracy twenty seven percent go for that and twenty six
percent for inflation, twenty one percent for immigration. Of course,
preserving democracy democrats feel.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
They own that issue. Are they right in that suspicion?

Speaker 35 (01:16:37):
And are you surprised that that's the number one issue
that concerns Arizonians.

Speaker 41 (01:16:42):
Yeah, I'm very surprised by that poll. Illegal immigration has
been the number one issue in Arizona for many, many years,
way back when I first ran for state legislature in
two thousand and eight, and so that is very surprising
to me. And besides, if that is the issue, they
should look at themselves in the mirror because they just
anointed Kamalai Harris, they threw out of office President Biden.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
I think the preserving democracy is the number one response
as a bunch of bs Marri's pool huh, yeah, I
think that one got a little doctor six point fifty four.

Kamala Harris back to the border today campaigning in Arizona.

Speaker 42 (01:20:27):
She suddenly cares about the border. It's her first trip
in three years and nothing more than a stunt.

Speaker 19 (01:20:32):
It's a really sorry attempt on her part to think
that she can continue to pull the wool over the
citizen's eyes.

Speaker 42 (01:20:39):
Maria Espinoza of the Remembrance Project says her policies say
more than words, and should she win, we could see
the country become like her home state.

Speaker 19 (01:20:48):
If we want the rest of the nation to end
up like California, and I know that's a big no,
then follow Kamala Harris in her life.

and it continues to cause headaches for local law enforcement
by attacking attracting cartel activity.

Judge KP. George. He's been indicted, arrested, and released on
bond on a misdemeanor charge of using a false identity

(01:21:53):
to post post racist messages against himself in his twenty

this is eye opening.

Speaker 15 (01:22:04):
I'm extremely disappointed.

Speaker 8 (01:22:06):
I'm very angry that anyone would try to divide our
community with such tactics.

Speaker 5 (01:22:13):
Yeah. Georgie's former chief of staff, who ran unsuccessfully for
Commissioner's court, was indicted on similar charges earlier this year.
A US House task Force holding his first hearing on
Capitol Hill investigating the assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump,
testimony showing massive failure by Secret Service and not the

Speaker 9 (01:22:42):
The Pennsylvania State Police provided all resources requested by the

me as the officer in charge of PSPs sets to

Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
Yeah, Pennsylvania State Police Officer John Herold there testify a

before and during that Butler's shooting. Another House hearing questions
the Postmaster General on his ability to handle the mail

(01:23:17):
in ballots that was yesterday as well.

Speaker 10 (01:23:22):
There are major concerns being raised around inconsistent employee training
for election mail and an increase in mail return as undeliverable,
which impacts both ballot roles. But Joyce said that even
during the pandemic in twenty twenty, election mail delivery was
a success.

Speaker 5 (01:23:36):
As Fox's Alexandra Hoff, well, what's going on with all
these polls, most of them left leaning, that at least
the ones that are being pushed by the mainstream media
to support Kamala Harris. But there's a new report that says, well,
underneath all that, the vibes are very different.

Speaker 11 (01:23:55):
Sure, according to the Hill, some Democrats are very concerned
that the poles are undercounting the Trump vote.

Speaker 12 (01:24:03):
I think you look at the history of Trump over
performing the polls. I do think that these likely voter
screens are missing voters that are planning on turning out
for Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
That is Bonshie with Red State.

Speaker 12 (01:24:15):
We won't know to election day, but I think it's
certainly something to keep an eye on, and I do
think Democrats are right to be worried.

No, there's dope blood in the water seven o eightters
our time here in Houston's morning news. There is how
a right Jill Jios, Joseman g E O. S M.

Jospin g e O s M.

Speaker 15 (01:26:57):
I N.

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
To public Works reporting that there have been complaints about
the taste and the smell of the city's drinking water.

Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
Imagine that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:10):
I thought it was pristine. It is being caused by
jiosmin an MiB, which are harmless but can cause a
musty or earthy taste and odor. So okay, so I
looked it up, you know, not wanting to necessarily take
the city's word that is harmless. And it is a
naturally occurring organic compound that has an earthy odor and

(01:27:33):
is responsible for several things, including the smell of fresh dirt,
a muddy taste in drinking water, a musty odor in
fish and beans. And it's also a component of beef essence.
It's a major volatile component of beat essence. Beat Where

(01:27:54):
did it come from? Did somebody like drop a bunch
of beets in the water supply?

Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
Where did it go that part of the pure vacation process.

Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:28:01):
Adding beat essence.

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
The further says.

Speaker 5 (01:28:05):
Well, it's a chemical, let's just put it that way.

Speaker 3 (01:28:07):
The earthy aroma that wasps up after a good raining
comes primarily from chemical compounds called turpines. Turpins genuspen, for example,
is a turpin most commonly associated with a bacteria, although
other bacteria and fung guy also make it. It is
found in soils and bodies of fresh water the world over.

Speaker 5 (01:28:26):
Well, there are good bacteria, you know, Yes, there are
so there you have.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
So I'm just you know, I'm just I'm just backing
up the city here that that even if your water
doesn't smell or taste good, it is perfectly safe for
you to drink.

Speaker 5 (01:28:38):
It happens after it's turned into ice cubes and then
it melts. They say, I thought that that earthy flavor
was just a tequila that's coming from the ice cubes.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
Well, that's what you could certainly add to the water
to make it more your taste share. They say that
that chilling the water also helps, so if you well, it.

Speaker 5 (01:28:57):
Takes away the aroma. If what happens when it melts,
I mean, because part of the taste is not just
the aroma, right aroma? Is the aroma really the right?

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
If you got a bunch of ice cubes in your
automatic ice cubes.

Speaker 5 (01:29:08):
I'm getting too complicated here. Just take it straight.

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
Just take the tickey, Just drink tequila and you want
to worry about it. Right some time for traffic and
weather together. Checking off the drive again. What's wrong, sky Mine?
It sounds like you're drinking sea monkeys or something. No,
thank you, I'll stick to bottled water here.

Speaker 26 (01:29:24):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:29:24):
We've got the story on two forty nine, call it
Green Roads. The actual crossing is upland Willow, which sounds
like it's in the Tambaul area. Know this is in
the south of the Beltway area and right in front
of the Sunneco gas station. A DPS guy officer was
issuing a ticket and someone suspected drunk driver hit him.
He's going to be okay, but he's in the hospital.

(01:29:46):
Two forty nine is totally shut down. They have a
lot of paperwork to do. I have breen rope. Let's
see Lance from Magnolia says you could take North Houston
Rosalind and that becomes Bingles. So that's the way around there.
There's just no good place to get tacos. There a
sixty nine Southwart Freeway northbound Chimney Rock. That's a stall
moods right on the entrance ramp into the gallery A two.
We've got that stalled Metro Katie Freeway inbound the Yale exit.

(01:30:09):
Watch out coming in from Washington Avenue East Loop. Now
the ship Channel Sherman Bridge, which is fun to say.
We're slow now from Clinton for some reason southbound I
suspect a stall toll bridge has an extra lane to
work with. Let's do a quick tip line.

Speaker 6 (01:30:22):
Hey, good morning Spring.

Speaker 4 (01:30:25):

Terry Smith is here. Guess it is a beautiful sunrise
and lucky for the folks in Georgia and Florida at least,
Helene is a fast moving storm. Can you imagine if
that storm stalled?

Speaker 16 (01:30:55):
Oh, it would be even more miserable than it already
is unbelievable. Yeah, I mean Georgia and maybe parts of
Tennessee and Alabama. But I know North Georgia has seen
about four to eight inches of rain since Tuesday, and
that was before Helene got into the act as well.

(01:31:16):
Helene's just like piling on and there are all kinds
of flood emergencies even in the metro Atlanta area, including
the downtown area, because of all the water that's coming
down in a short period of time. We know what
that's like, but they don't see that as frequently in
North Georgia. And it's also happening in places in North

(01:31:38):
and South Carolina. So good thing is it'll move out fast.
The bad thing is it's gonna take a little while
for the waters to receipd We're basking in sunshine. Don't
tell them we've got it so good here. Because it's
the weekend. It's dry. Upper eighties to low nineties today

Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
So, I wonder if Trump is rioting for Alabama or
rooting for Georgia. He's going to be at Alabama, so
I'm I'm assuming he's going to be roll tied for tomorrow.
We'll see seven twenty two is their time here in
Houston's morning news. Well, we know there'll be eighty thousand
plus people probably who are going to be there. I
don't know if he plans on making any sort of
an appearance in front of the crowd. I'm sure he'll

(01:35:02):
have plenty of security. He'll be in a suite. But
when you have that many people around, that's got you
and people know you're going to be there, and we
know there are people out there.

Speaker 5 (01:35:10):
Secret Service assures is they got it covered.

Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
I'm sure, Yeah, I'm sure they do. Frank Robertson, CEO
of Black Rhino Group. They're a Texas based protection group
joints US. Frank, thanks for coming on the show talk
about the logistical nightmare of trying to protect a person
against you know, when you're dealing with a crowd that's
going to be that loud and that large.

Speaker 26 (01:35:31):
Thanks for having me appreciate you guys. It's it's a
it's a it's a definitely not easy, but they do
have a template for that kind of thing. Arguably, the
most protected game ever was the first Yankees game after
nine to eleven when George W. Bush went out and
threw out a first pitch. So they do have a

(01:35:53):
template and a game plan for that. You got to
take it in segments. You can't look at the stadium
as a whole. You have to narrow down to little
areas where you're going to take the former president and
then go from there. But it all starts with the perimeter.
That's the number one thing on the list.

Speaker 5 (01:36:09):
Well, and apparently the leaking of the information about where
the President's going to.

Speaker 26 (01:36:14):
Be, Yeah, that's not helpful. I mean part of the I.

Speaker 5 (01:36:20):
Mean I don't mean just being at the game. I
mean being in certain sections. You know, his route through
the stadium and into the stadium and out of the stadium,
all those things.

Speaker 7 (01:36:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:36:32):
Yeah, And you remember a few years ago when the
Olympics were in winter Olympics were in Utah, some agents
left behind the plan for that current president at that
time in a Starbucks. I don't know how those those
things happen and how those things get leaked out, but
they got some problems beyond communication and their perimeter issues.

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
Yeah, I would think that maybe in the stadium is
one thing. The fans are good, They're all going to
you know, be checked out before they ever go in
and probably go through metal detectors and all that kind
of stuff. I would assume the biggest concerns are his
ingress and egress in and out of the stadium, and
and any buildings in other areas where somebody could potentially
hide and take a potch.

Speaker 26 (01:37:18):
On correct And I'm guessing just from guys that have
been on the Secret Service details with about three blocks,
they don't have folks and stairwells and taller buildings, they'll
have some snipers you know, at and T Stadium when
the Cowboys play, they have they have a sniper on

(01:37:38):
the northeast corner of that stadium every every Sunday when
they play at home. I'm sure they have guys all
around within a three block radius when they when they leave.
But thank goodness, they've changed to uh pick up drop
offs undercover instead of doing those things outside anyway, since

(01:38:00):
Reagan's shooting.

Speaker 5 (01:38:02):
In this era of miniaturization, I mean, I've been as
media on the receiving end of secret Service clearance for
a lot of times. Now, how in the world, with
all the media that's going to be there at that game,
can you even be sure that that doesn't fall through
the cracks?

Speaker 26 (01:38:20):
Well, we just have to hope that they all did
do their job. I mean, if they're truly giving him
the same level of protection as the current president, the
current vice president, he should be secure. The press should
be kept at a distance, anybody else should be kept
at a distance, and they just get him in and

(01:38:42):
get it out. I imagine the Secret Service of just
I know it from my experience. I'd rather just get
in and get out and be done with it. But
I will have to see how that works out. But
I'm hoping that they got the problems fixed. I mean,
there's enough publicity on the little things going on that
balls have been dropped that I'm sure hoping that they

(01:39:04):
have this stuff ratcheted up.

Speaker 3 (01:39:05):
Okay, Brank, thank thank you, appreciate your insight. That is
the CEO of Black Rhino Group, Frank Ruberson. It is

It is now seven thirty two on news Radio seven
forty k TRH our top story this hour. Thirty nine
days to election day, and we already know the true
colors of the media covering it blue but print, mainstream TV,
and cable performing as a propaganda arm of the Democrats
has already alienated huge portions of their audiences.

Speaker 24 (01:42:15):
The American people are beginning to hate the media because
of this.

Speaker 25 (01:42:18):
I think Americans would like to see corporate media hold
Kamala Harris accountable for the many things that she has
done or hasn't done.

Speaker 24 (01:42:26):
The Federalists Matt Kittle says that instead, the media just
continues to push left wing narratives.

Speaker 25 (01:42:31):
They're going to keep doing this until the money says,
they can't do it anymore, until the big ad buys
dry up because.

Speaker 7 (01:42:39):
They don't have an audience anymore.

Speaker 24 (01:42:41):

were the perfect examples of the media's disturbing behavior. Ethan

And is not just among the so called journalists. Late
night comedy went politically woke to rapidly falling audiences. There
is an alternative emerging though Saturday night life. I have
a lom Rob Schneider told Katie Rh's Clay and Buck
show late night audience is suddenly turning to what Fox News.

Speaker 27 (01:43:10):
All those late night guys, all those monologues. I mean
there was no original voice in any of them. You
could have interchanged them all it didn't matter. I mean,
you can see what happens is people are tired of
being told what to think and they want to make
their own decisions. And that's why Greg Guttfeld is the
number one show right now.

Speaker 5 (01:43:24):
Schneider also believes his old show Saturday Night Live is
trending more even handed in recent years because of its
ratings collapse. Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky campaigning for Kamala in
Pennsylvania and then met with Joe Biden, who pledged another
eight billion dollars in military aid. House Oversight Committee Chairman

(01:43:47):
James Comer was on Fox News.

Speaker 28 (01:43:50):
At the end of the day, it doesn't appear that
Ukraine is going to be able to accomplish their mission,
the mission that Zelensky outlines when he meets with Congressman privately,
without the help of American troops.

Speaker 5 (01:44:03):
The help of American troops. Now Zelenski asked Donald Trump
for a meeting, apparently on today at the Trump Tower
in New York. Trump says he has a decisive negotiating
plan that would end this war now between Ukraine and Russia.
He asserted the war wouldn't have even started had he
been president. Secret Service facing questions from a bipartisan House

(01:44:28):
task force that is looking into the Trump assassination attempts.
Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Mike Kelly on Fox News talks about
well they did add additional funding to the Secret Service
to help protect Donald Trump.

Speaker 29 (01:44:46):
The answer to everything isn't always more money. Sometimes the answers,
we need the personnel in the right place at the
right time, and make sure whatever you deploy that you're
deploying it to the right place for the right reasons.

Speaker 5 (01:44:57):
But they nonetheless added two hundred and thirty million million
dollars specifically for Secret Service to the Continuing Resolution budget
deal that they passed this week. Donald Trump don to
need that protection. He's going to attend the Georgia Alabama
game tomorrow night in Tuscaloosa.

Speaker 11 (01:45:18):
Cherry, and light of the two assassination attempts, what kind
of security challenge are we looking at for the Secret Service.

Speaker 26 (01:45:26):
I think it's going to be a little bit more
difficult a stadium. I've advanced and protected people in some
of the bigger arenas. Can you break it down to
the simple areas where the president is going to be.

Speaker 11 (01:45:35):
That's Frank Robertson, CEO of the Black Rhino Protection Group.

Speaker 26 (01:45:40):
I think you need to have extra counter surveillance in
the crowd. You have to have a certain level that
haven't been there before on that side, because that's where
you're going to catch those folks in the crowds, especially
in an event like a football game.

Speaker 11 (01:45:51):

Looks like maybe housing industry is starting to pick up
just a little bit here. Mortgage rates are down around
six percent. Now, if they get into the fives, then
we might really see some activity going on. No timetable
on getting to the fives, but hey, at least they're
down from where they be down about zero point and
a half, almost two percentage points from where they were

(01:47:50):
last year. Private equity fund manager Grant card Don has
been listening into Kamala's what we do know about Kamala's
economic plan. He's not real thrilled with any of them,
especially when it comes to housing.

Speaker 37 (01:48:03):
No, because I know it won't work. Okay, she's going
to kill housing. Okay, Like I don't know why.

Speaker 43 (01:48:08):
She's I guess I understand why she's not giving people
like you a moment to ask her a question. Why
would you want to build three million homes when you
know your four point two million home shark?

Speaker 37 (01:48:20):
Why would you want to give a twenty five.

Speaker 43 (01:48:21):
Thousand dollars first time tax credit or buyer's credit when
you know that's going to inflate housing?

Speaker 37 (01:48:28):
Okay?

Speaker 43 (01:48:28):
Martgage applications had a spike this week, and we're still
lower than two thousand, two thousand and eight twenty ten,
literally the lowest levels in twenty four years of mortgage applications.
The housing market is getting slaughtered and nobody's talking about it.
And if she thinks twenty five thousand dollars is going
to somehow, you know, relieve the system, she's crazy.

Speaker 37 (01:48:49):
So she's either lying to the.

Speaker 43 (01:48:51):
Public or worse, she doesn't know what she's talking about
or her her team do.

Speaker 23 (01:48:57):
Now.

Speaker 43 (01:48:57):
Now, I know, Mark Cuban's a huge fan of hers
right now, he's company like every minute of every day.

Speaker 37 (01:49:03):
But and Mark knows a lot about a lot of things.

Speaker 43 (01:49:06):
But housing is not going to get fixed because she
promises to build three million homes, she doesn't even know
what it would cost, how long it would take, who
would build them, who would get the homes? And by
the way, a six percent interest you can't afford alone anyway,
because the interests alone is two thousand dollars a month.

Speaker 26 (01:49:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49:27):
Yeah, she doesn't have the answers there. What were you
saying about Mark Cibban?

Speaker 5 (01:49:30):
Sure, I said it sort of while you were on vacation,
and I kind of got into it on the air
with Bob Franz. He's a big fan of Cuban. He
thinks because of sports, I mean, France does sports, and
so he admires him for what he's done, what he's built,
and I'm going, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49:46):
Well, you can admire him for what he's built. Doesn't
mean his politics are worth anything. Does he know what
his politics are? Is he know how liberally.

Speaker 23 (01:49:51):
Guy.

Speaker 5 (01:49:52):
I was shocked hearing it from Bob France. He was
an interesting conversation to say the least. Thought, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:49:59):
Yeah, I mean if Mark Keuban is a fanboy of
Kamala Harris, I think that tells us all we need
to know about his politics. Seven forty Time for traffic

Judge KP. George has been indicted, arrested, and out on bond.
It's a misdemeanor charge of using a false identity to
post racist messages against himself online during his twenty twenty
two election. His former chief of staff indicted on similar
charges earlier this year. Well, have you seen all these

(01:54:08):
ads of self proclaimed Trump Republican voters. They voted for
Trump before they said, well they're backing Harris. Now, well
they've been exposed as professional actors.

Speaker 3 (01:54:22):
Yeah, speaking of pretending with a.

She's absolutely terrible your decision twenty twenty four headquarters is
Youth Radio seventy KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:54:45):
Yeah, a lot of pretending going on in Fort Bend County.
Seven to fifty one is their time here in Houston
Sporting News. Andy Myers joined us Fort Bend County Precinct
three Commissioner. Of course, you've had your own experiences with
not only KP. George, but also with the his former
chief of staff.

Speaker 15 (01:55:03):
Darryl Patel.

Speaker 3 (01:55:04):
Yeah, I'm wondering what's what are you thinking this morning?
The most immediate thing I would think is that I'm
sure the reaction to a lot of the voters in
Fort ben County is that this these this guy should
have resigned, right KP. George ud stepped down.

Speaker 8 (01:55:19):
Well, I was the first one who called for uh
his resignation if he is guilty of what he has
been charged with. Uh, and he knows whether or not
he's guilty, as well as his UH former chief of
staff Tarrell Patel, who is running.

Speaker 15 (01:55:37):
Uh for my position.

Speaker 8 (01:55:40):
Uh Uh he also UH has obviously has.

Speaker 15 (01:55:44):
Been charged arrested.

Speaker 8 (01:55:46):
He's been indicted uh for four felonies and four misdemeanors.

Speaker 15 (01:55:51):
UH.

Speaker 8 (01:55:51):
So his his charges are more serious than KP's.

Speaker 5 (01:55:56):
Is he still on the ballance.

Speaker 8 (01:55:59):
He is still on the ballot, Yes, he's still running.
The Democrat Party has put out a uh basically a
hit piece on me, accusing me of being responsible for
all the flooding that took place during Harvey in the
Katie area, which, bitch, you know, I'm trying to figure
out how I did that. But any event, uh, I

(01:56:22):
I can't Well, I guess I can't.

Speaker 15 (01:56:24):
Believe that these two would do this. But I was totally.

Speaker 8 (01:56:26):
Shocked and I'm very angry that uh, these individuals would
send racist statements to ar minorities Armnarti community in an
attempt to divide the community UH to win an election.
Kap was successful in doing so, and uh Terrell Patel
was running the same play, trying to do the same thing.

(01:56:47):
And when all of this, all these racist statements were
coming down last year, I've got a very diverse community
in my precinct, they my minorities were getting somewhat concerned
about this.

Speaker 15 (01:57:03):
So I'm the one that approached d A.

Speaker 8 (01:57:06):
Brian Milton and asked him if he would conduct an investigation.
My objective was to uncover, unmask whoever this person was
who was pretending to be this Antonio scallywag, and.

Speaker 15 (01:57:19):
Once he was exposed that I knew it would stop.

Speaker 8 (01:57:22):
And after terror Patel was arrested in June, all of
the racist statements stopped. So I actually achieved that goal
in doing so, and I got to commend Brian Milton.
In the face of a lot of pressure from the
Democrat Party, he has perceived he has proceeded with his

(01:57:43):
investigation and was able to get for felony indictments and
for misdemeanor indictments against Terror Patel, and he's also now
gotten some misdemeanor indictments against k P.

Speaker 15 (01:57:58):
George coordinated their activity.

Speaker 5 (01:58:02):
Rabbid growth, rabid growth, political chaos, and what you would
think would be stable law driven.

Speaker 8 (01:58:09):
For ben County, Well, Fort Bennet is really one of
the one of the nicest, uh and most caring communities
in the state of Texas. And it's it's it's it's
absolutely reprehensible that these two would try to stir up
racial animosity with these racist statements, uh to to generate
sympathy for themselves and and try to get what I

(01:58:33):
would call the sympathy vote uh to win an election.
You know, that's that's just beyond the pale.

Speaker 3 (01:58:40):
Frankly, Well, it's also kind of sad, isn't it though,
that there were enough members of the community that believed
that that could happen that it was effective.

Speaker 8 (01:58:49):
Well, Uh, it was effective in the twenty two election.
I guess they thought it would play well in the
twenty four election. Thanks to the District Attorney's efforts along
with the Texas Rangers, you know, they uncovered this scheme.
There's more to come, according to the District Attorney's office,

(01:59:12):
they say they have a plethora of information data that
they're still going through, so there's likely more.

Speaker 15 (01:59:20):
And that's going to come out on this.

Speaker 8 (01:59:22):
I know that in the twenty two campaign, KP hired
Terrell Patel to work in his campaign. Now, Terrell Patel
in twenty one moved to Washington, d C. To work
for the Biden administration. And he also was going to
law school full time. He got his law degree while
he was there.

Speaker 15 (01:59:40):
How he was a consultant in the campaign. I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (01:59:44):
Yeah, and are Washington, d C. We're running out of time,
but I want.

Speaker 15 (01:59:48):
To thank you for doing on no problem.

Speaker 26 (01:59:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:59:52):
We'll talk again, I'm sure. Thank you very much for
Ben County Precinctree Commissioner Andy Myers. Y'all have a great weekend.
We'll see a Monday morning, bright and early, five am.
