maybe seeing this is it in east at Thompson Road?
Which way are we going?

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
We're going westbound. That's an accent taking up all but
the left lane. And you've got some big backups already.
If you're trying to get over from Garthroat, you'll hit
about a ten minute wall of breaks here. So if
you can, let's go to one forty six instead. We're
gonna zoom all this at five to ten. Figure out
what in the world happens here SKYMIKEE on the Generator
Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
From our KTRH stop tax Defenders twenty four hour weather center.

(01:43):
news Radio seven forty k TRH. It's time now for
the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
It's five o two on news radio seven forty k
TRH and our top story this hour Hurricane Milton blowing
the roof off Chopacanna Field in Tampa. Saint Petersburgh and
the storm surge still flooding streets there all along the
Gulf Coast system, making landfall as a Category three hurricane
near c sta Key one hundred twenty mile an hour

(02:10):
winds when it hit, currently a Cat one storm. Now
the winds have died down to eighty five mile per
hour sustained and it's starting to move off at Florida's
Atlantic coast. Deadly tornadoes though more than two dozen were
spawned by this system across the state, responsible for multiple fatalities,
Florida's power outage tracker showing more than three million without power.

(02:35):
Milton hitting two weeks after Helene, killed at least two
hundred and thirty two people across six Southeastern states, and
that number is going to rise. Official say Biden Harris
regime politicizing these disasters, trying to deflect from their own
botched federal and North Carolina state response.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
President Trump has led this ons thlought of lives, assertions
have been made, properties being confiscated.

Speaker 7 (03:02):
That's simply not true.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
President Joe Biden going after Donald Truvitt was his briefing
before Milton's landfall last night. He also attacked Georgia Congresswoman
Marjorie Taylor green climate crowd, of course, jumping ride in,
using Helena and Milton Now to push the radical green agenda.
Every storm. Have you noticed it's now extreme weather.

Speaker 8 (03:25):
It's a game. It's an effective game. And expect them
to ride this all the way to election day because
you got Bill nine now on TV literally saying vote
your way to better weather.

Speaker 9 (03:35):
The not science guy Bill Nye.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Mark Morano, with a climate depot, told KTRH that this
is just dirty politics, and it's playing off people's fear
gin it up and then play off of it and
it gets worse. Now you've got the real estate website Zillow.
They've added climate risk data to its listings, putting out
risk data for flood, fire, wins, air and heat, you

(04:01):
know life.

Speaker 9 (04:02):
It is now five oh four.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
He's angry at her, and he hates her.

Speaker 10 (04:08):
The only question is I think he hates her almost
as much as he hates me.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Ah talking about Biden Oncommala. President Donald Trump rally for
one thousands of his supporters in Reading, Pennsylvania last night.
It's his second campaign appearance in that battleground state. Yesterday,
he takes the campaign west later this week. Rallies notably
in Aurora, Colorado, and Nevada tomorrow, California Saturday, Arizona Sunday. Trump,

(04:38):
who drew thousands in the Bronx earlier this year, says
that he's going to rally at New York's Madison Square
Garden on October twenty seventh is the date. He's saying
the world's most famous arena holds just under twenty thousand people.
As for the Harris Walls campaign, the Minnesota governor and
the second gentleman dug him off were caught on tape

(05:00):
walking away from a cafe counter without paying for their drinks.

Speaker 9 (05:05):
Someone up here today so write it up.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Well, no, thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
That was Walls's daughter who told the cashier, well, someone
will be up to pay figures, Harrison Walls, You're pretty
used to other people, all of us, paying for what
they want.

Speaker 11 (05:23):
Vice President Kamala Harris says she plans to make sure
the richest Americans pay their fair share as part of
her economic plan.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Are Inc.

Speaker 11 (05:29):
Spokes women Elizabeth Pipko tells Fox this is just meaningless
campaign rhetoric.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
I thank the American people honestly are too smart to
fall for this. There's no plan here, right It's a
few fancy sentences strung together because we are a few
weeks out from election day. Joe Biden also ran on
promising to tax the rich. How many politicians have.

Speaker 12 (05:47):
We heard that show?

Speaker 11 (05:47):
Harris never defines the rich or what is the fair
share they supposedly aren't paying. She also falsely claims teachers
are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires. Cory Yelson,
He's Radio seven forty ktrh.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
To put it nine. How did the left get its
foot into the door of America? Apparently through education systems.
They've been indoctrinating our kids for decades.

Speaker 13 (06:12):
As its wonderful article by Anthony Deblasi says, they started
implementing the intellectual ideas in the schools beginning in the
nineteen forties, and by the nineteen sixties, when I was
in elementary school in San Francisco, they were in full flower.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
Andrew Widberg with the American Thinkers says, the anti American
socialists have been here in the US since the early
nineteen hundreds.

Speaker 9 (06:35):
Yeah, they've been in our government. It's now five six.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahuo hold what has
been described.

Speaker 9 (06:43):
As a productive call.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Israel continuing to plan retaliation for Iran's missile attacks.

Speaker 14 (06:50):
The US has been pushing for a strike that is
symbolic and avoids sparking a larger war. According to Israeli sources, Iran,
with its Foreign Minister of Basaragashi in Saudi Arabia, threaten
consequences for any neighboring countries that allow Israel to use
their airspace for a strike.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Fox Is Mike Tobin, reporting from Haifa. Former US Secretary
of State Condoleeza Rise doesn't really appreciate how Biden Harris
have handled this crisis.

Speaker 15 (07:16):
I don't think we ought to have those discussions in
public right. It doesn't help anybody to speculate on what
the Israelis might do against Iranian oil facilities or against
nuclear sites.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
Israel says two more Hesbelo commanders have been killed in
strikes on South Lebanon. Just this morning. Five oh seven
is our time preseason action. The Rockets beat Oklahoma City
one twenty two, one thirteen. They're off until next Tuesday
when they host New Orleans. I'm sure with Friar on
news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
What happened and why? The top of the hour, not
just another headline. He's when you'll hear what else on
what's going on? Is happening? News Radio seven forty KTRH
faked did faked did faked it? So the video everybody's
talking about this morning comes from a FEMA news conference yesterday.

(08:08):
There was the THEMA administrator, numerous other individuals in Florida
and what have you, and Vice President Kamala Harris who
are on this team meeting or whatever you know, venue
zoom meeting, whatever it may have been. And uh, it's
a live it's a live broadcast available to the media,
and they're talking about the hurricane and disaster relief and

(08:31):
all that kind of stuff. And Kamala Harris she she
covers her mouth and says, it's a live broadcast. What
she covered her mouth and and and then she and
then she asked a question. So the the popular conjecture

(08:51):
here is is that she was getting smood fed a
question by one of her aids through her magical ear rings.
And they may just have this on tape. This is
you want to see anybody like CNBC or MSNBC reporting this.
Fox I think is going to be reporting it.

Speaker 9 (09:07):
We're reporting it.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
We're reporting and Sky and Sky News did a report,
so it's it's overseas. I thought he'd share a little
bit of that with you.

Speaker 16 (09:16):
During the video briefing, Kamala Harris could be seen covering
her mouth, appearing to relay a message to someone else
through a microphone and epiece. The VP mumbled it's a
live broadcast behind her hands.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
O good flood.

Speaker 17 (09:30):
We really got to watch those those areas in those communities,
so it takes quite a while for that water to drain.

Speaker 7 (09:37):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 16 (09:38):
She then immediately took her hands away from her mouth
and asked a question.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Hey, can I have a question for you?

Speaker 18 (09:45):
You mentioned words matter, and I know there is a
lot of media following this briefing.

Speaker 16 (09:52):
Commentators immediately blasted the VP, accusing her of being fed
questions by aids through an earpiece. Charlie Kirk said, busted.
Kamala is heard telling an AID who is feeding her
questions that it's a live broadcast. She then asks the
question she was presumably given. When you realize what a

(10:12):
fraud this woman is, you can't unsee.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's it's really quite amazing. I think it's one thing
to accuse her for example of maybe using the same
technique during a debate in order to be able to
sound semi intelligent anyway, But you mean to tell me
that she can't sit there during a FEMA briefing and
ask questions about her hurricane. You and I could do that,

(10:37):
no problem. What is she incapable of doing?

Speaker 19 (10:40):
That?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Makes you wonder?

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yes, evidently, but Sky broadcast blatantly saying that, I mean, yeah,
the terminology, that's what's going out, That's what the rest
of the world is seeing. Yes, well, our local media
on our news media, silly little girls still try to
cover up.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh coma, coma, Oh yay.

Speaker 9 (11:02):
So this it just it disgusted me.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I hear you five eleven time for traffic and weather together,
Sky Mike is there. Nobody has to spoon feed him questions.

Speaker 20 (11:12):
No, but I could.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I wish I had some Kamala debate earrings in my
ear for like me and Houston Transtar and the ladies
on team, if we could just talk to each other
like that, you know, cheat feed ourselves some info here.
All right, let's check out what's going on on your
east side. I'm going to keep this one tight because
I want to give Terry, A lot of time to
talk about Milton. But the one big thing we have
is on the east side has hit the tip line.

Speaker 20 (11:34):
Here it ten east guy, Mike.

Speaker 21 (11:36):
We had a pickup plan.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
This is the back of a semi just ahead of
the Highland exit westbound.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Bolts of drivers are okay, but the pickup this's got
too lane shut down.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Oh lord's right in front of those truck stops Thompson Road.
This is westbound, Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com
traffic center.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
From r Katy rh Top tax Defenders twenty four hour.
Whether it's under the spring on Terry Smith. That looks
like Elton is headed out into the Atlantic. But the
damage is done, Terry.

Speaker 22 (12:03):
Yes, well, and I guess in some ways that's the
good thing is it moved on shore last night and
steadily moved across the state.

Speaker 9 (12:13):
Now it's heading out to sea, and that's good. So
as the.

Speaker 22 (12:16):
Sunlight comes up across central Florida we will see exactly
what all happened. But there was reports of massive amounts
of rain, surge and obviously wind. It stayed a hurricane
across the entire peninsula. In fact, it's at eighty five
miles an hour right now, so and it's just about
off the coast. It's right near the Cape Canaveral area.

(12:39):
So things will begin to improve for Florida. In the
wake of the hurricane. Things are still quiet for us.
No signs of rain into early next week. Temperatures upper
eighties to low nineties through Sunday, and maybe even a
little more heatload of mid nineties by Monday.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Right down sixty four at your official severe weather station.
News Radio seven four to KTRH.

Speaker 23 (13:01):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you Biden, New South
Windows solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherah with the
info you need to take.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
On the day. So President Biden did a press conference
yesterday to talk about the Female, to talk about hurricane relief.
He was stumbling and bumbling and fumbling his way through
and accusing the president former President.

Speaker 9 (13:23):
Trump, building up misinformation.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Miss Yes, spreading misinformation about the storm and about female.
Share the audio with you coming up next. First, though,
we've got traffic and weather together. As we're checking out
that drive here, Skymine, I thought this was the fishing report.

Speaker 20 (13:39):
All right, let's go to the North Freeway.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'm get to your East first in a moment, but
your north freeway here I forty five, that's southbound.

Speaker 20 (13:47):
It looks like everybody's okay.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
We're all packed up now at guess where Tidwell inbound.
Guess where we're backed up from Parker. So it's a
forty five southbound. That's a back order split between Tidwall
and Parker South on the inbound. If you're a big
shot jump on the hardy East freeway. Good news is
everybody's okay. Bad news is that truck's going to need
some serious bodywork. Ran into an eighteen wheeler. This is

(14:09):
inbound right before Highlands at Thompson Road. We're missing two
left lanes, Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic.

claims she owns a block, didn't say what caliber. Fournia law,

(15:00):
by the way, prohibits the sale of most glock models,
a law that she supported against the citizens, But as
a DA and attorney general now federal regime, she gets
a pass on all that you know.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
Guns for me, not for thee.

Speaker 5 (15:15):

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Never sounded so good. President Biden talking about the hurricane,
about FEMA, and about Trump spreading misinformation and twenty.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
Million meals forty million liters of water in my direction
surgery of defense Austin has preposition search and rescue teams,
helicopters and high water high high water speeding vehicles as
close to the storm as possible, so they're ready to
conduct life state of missions and the Administrators of who

(16:12):
the Administrator Feeble will be on site to United in
Florida and the state's in the state's emergency operations.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
Both Administrator Chris Well.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
And I will be in constant contact with state local
officials and.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
The hours ahead.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Once the storm hits, we're going to work with state
officials to to debris, restore power, and as do it
as fast as possible. Your Army cort of engineers will
pump out water and decreased flooding. If you've already directed
the Department of Defense to be ready to provide active
duty service members support Florida after the storm, after the

(16:47):
storm surge, if the government centers requests the health as
I expect he might, so it's like we did North Carolina.
I have served over one thousand US Postcard personnel and
performs search rescue missions and reopened the Port of.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
Tampa as soon as possible.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Now, I want to reiterate a point I made clear
earlier today.

Speaker 7 (17:10):
The folks who have been.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
Impacted by the linked this impact and will be not
impacted by noble over the last few weeks that have
been reckless and irresponsible and relentless promotion of disinformation and
outright lies about what's going on. It's undermining confidence of
the people for it an incredible rescue recovery work that

(17:32):
has been undertaken. Literally, there are thousands of fellow Americans
who are putting their lives at stake and putting on
the line to do the dangerous work that needs to
be done, and it's harmful to.

Speaker 7 (17:45):
Those who most need the help.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
Quite frankly, these lies are un American and there are
simply no placers, not now, not ever foreign. President Trump
has led this on thought of laws assertion, haven't made
that property to be even confiscated.

Speaker 7 (18:03):
It's simply not true.

Speaker 6 (18:05):
For saying people impacted by these storms and receives seven
hundred and fifty dollars in cash and no more, that
is simply not tru either. You're saying the money needed
for these crises with being converted to migrants, What the
hell heck are they talking about?

Speaker 7 (18:19):
Stop it?

Speaker 6 (18:20):
Which is out raised It's just not true.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well, as a matter of technicality. Let's let's take the
money diverted to migrants thing. FEMA has evidently has more
than one pot of money they have. I mean, they
are funded for x amount of dollars and then they
know they'll put money in this pot, and they'll put
money in the storm pot. So do you think that
maybe they took some of the money that would normally

(18:44):
go into the storm pot and put it into the
illegal immigrant pot? Sure? Sure? Now the claim is they
haven't diverted any money. No, well maybe at the very
beginning they did not. During the storm they have diverted money.
But the reason why they don't have enough money is
because of the money they've already divert. Yeah, they already
put it somewhere else. Oh, Semandics, it's of course, it's cementics.
Five twenty seven. Time to take a look at your money.

(19:06):
Courtney Donaho, good morning, Well.

Speaker 25 (19:08):
Good morning, Jimmy. This morning stocks are a touch lower.
Dow Future is down fifty five points before the opening
belloch he report on inflation will be released. Consumer price
data expected to show inflation further moderating despite higher prices
for use cars. Checking on yesterday's trade, Stocks jump with
the Dow rising four hundred and thirty two points. The
S and P five hundred hit a record high, with

(19:29):
tech shares once again leading the charge. As we're just
talking about Hurricane Milton battering Florida. According to Bloomberg Intelligence,
Milton is likely to cost tens of billions of dollars
in insured losses. The back to back impacts from two
hurricanes from Helena and Milton could prove devastating for some
insurance companies. And Amazon has unveiled a new artificial intelligence

(19:52):
tool to help drivers find packages and cluttered vans. The
technology projects a green circle on packages to be delivered

Speaker 20 (20:54):
Right, everybody's okay.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
At Thompson Road on the East Freeway, just by the
truck stops, a little pass to truck stops the flying
jay and the loves and this is two right lanes.
Block looks like everybody's okay. That truck's not okay. I

Radio seven forty k t RH. It's time now for
the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Good morning everyone, five thirty two on news radio seven
forty k TRH. Our top story this hour, Election Day
twenty six days now and Donald Trump slamming this home stretch.

Speaker 10 (21:59):
I will deliver low taxes, low regulations, low energy costs,
low interest rates, low inflation, and the greatest economy in
the history.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Of the world, which is what we gave you before.

Speaker 9 (22:13):
Once again.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Thousands attending his rally, this one last night in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Earlier in the day, a similar number in Scranton. Trump
rejected a debate, however, proposed by Fox later this month
on True Social He said, quote, there will be no rematch,
there's nothing to debate. A new study from the Cultural

(22:33):
Research Center at Arizona Christian University finds that forty one
million Christians won't even bother to vote in November.

Speaker 27 (22:42):
And Sharon Dave Welch, president of the Texas Pastor Council,
does not agree.

Speaker 28 (22:48):
I don't believe it's likely to be the case.

Speaker 27 (22:50):
Top of the list was a lack of interest in politics,
but Welch says, this is beyond that.

Speaker 28 (22:57):
I believe there's a sense of urgency right now. The
nature of the times that we're in that are pretty
self evident, and I think that's going to produce a
higher level of turnout.

Speaker 27 (23:05):
Like we saw in nineteen eighty with Ronald Reagan, Jeff
Biggs News through Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
It's now five thirty three mainstream media, I won't talk
about our border invasion, ignoring that the FEDS are allowing
illegal aliens to come here with no identification.

Speaker 29 (23:24):
A new report says Border Protection ICE and even TSA
let in an endless number of migrants even without any
proper identification.

Speaker 12 (23:31):
Now, what's the consistent thread here?

Speaker 30 (23:33):
This is all a direct result of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden,
and majorcas's policies.

Speaker 29 (23:39):
Texas Representative Chip Roy tailing Fox News this week that
voters should respond accordingly.

Speaker 30 (23:44):
President Trump is rightly campaigning on is having mass deportations
of these criminals.

Speaker 12 (23:48):
It's not just TDA. There are rampant criminals.

Speaker 29 (23:51):
Tens of thousands of migrants let in are known criminals,
even murderers. Cherit Lewis News Radio seven forty k j H.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Texas DPS or resided a greep but more than one
hundred illegal aliens near Eagle Pass, including twenty five unaccompanied
children from the ages of three to fifteen years of age,
and yet another illegal alien caravan forming right now getting
ready to head into our country.

Speaker 21 (24:18):
Once again, we don't know much about these illegal aliens.

Speaker 31 (24:21):
This group is mostly from Central America and South America,
which could mean more Venezuelan migrants, possible trend the Aragua
gang members.

Speaker 21 (24:29):
Breitbart's Bob Price told KTRH, we can't expect even more
illegals to head our way as the election gets closer.

Speaker 31 (24:35):
Either way, there's going to be motivated to come, but
more so if President Trump is elected, because they know
he will immediately shut down the border and immediately start
deporting people.

Speaker 21 (24:44):
Prices that Thankfully, Texas hasn't slowed down its border security
efforts and will be ready for the surge. Of illegal aliens.
Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty k TRH it's not.

Speaker 9 (24:54):

car yesterday, but back in custody now. Trevion Howard managed
to get his handcuffs from behind him to in front
of him and he opened the car door through a
rolled down window. Harris County DA Kim Ogg announcing a
new crime data dashboard in partnership with uh and it's

(25:19):
all about transparency.

Speaker 9 (25:20):
She says.

Speaker 32 (25:22):
This is in since the reality check also on what's reported,
and I think that the media has responsibility just.

Speaker 26 (25:30):
Like we need be there transparent.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Ogg joins Houston's morning news at seven point fifty use.
The city Council will put a hold on a property
tax hike for taxpayers, at least for now. State will
be providing fifty million dollars in disaster relief for cleanup
of Houston after the maze storm and Hurricane Beryl. That's
the excuse they would have used for that hike, but
it could still be proposed again at next week's council meeting.

Speaker 9 (25:57):
We'll watch.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
It's now five point thirty six Hurricane Milton slamming Florida,
moving off the state's Atlantic coast with winds still sustained
at eighty five miles per hours, a Cat one hurricane.

Speaker 9 (26:08):
Overnight.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
That storm spawned dozens of deadly tornadoes.

Speaker 12 (26:13):
There's hundreds of houses that are just destroyed, anything that
was in the path of these multiple tornadoes.

Speaker 23 (26:18):
Our deputies are on the scene.

Speaker 28 (26:20):
We were out.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I was in a patrol car watching cars getting split.

Speaker 24 (26:23):
Off of I ninety five as these multiple tornadoes came
through oh Man.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Saint Lucy County Sheriff Keith Parson. There powers knocked out
for more than three million people across the state. The
storm sturge surge is still flooding streets on the Gulf
Coast at Sarasota and Tampa. With these devastating storms and
cleanup and the rebuilding it's going to require. Even as
the Middle East tensions are boiling, traders are betting on

(26:50):
oil reaching one hundred bucks a barrel. Yeah, you don't
run heavy equipment without the oil in the coming weeks.

Speaker 9 (26:57):
Now.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Fox's Phil Flynn says this could bike gasoline prices here
causing even more concerns.

Speaker 33 (27:04):
After that initial shock. We have to determine is it
going to do damage to the economy for the long
haul and potentially creates a big problem for the Federal
Reserve that wants to cut interest rates but may not
be able to if this price bike starts to feedback
into inflation.

Speaker 9 (27:20):
Oh, here we go, it's five point thirty seven.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Now, Harris County Sports Authority wants to call in three
hundred and fifty three million dollars in outstanding bonds and
issue new ones at a lower interest rate.

Speaker 9 (27:34):
The move would allow.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
For future renovations to Toyota Center, Energy Stadium and min
at May Park. Hank Lewis at Low Star College concerned
about the fine print, though.

Speaker 34 (27:44):
The sneaky piece of this old thing is to give
them power to issue more bonds without requiring going through
city Council or whatever Harris County in order to be
able to borrow more money for the coming renovations and
upgrades to the stadiums and arenas here in the Houston area.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Yeah, I sure would like to find out did we
ever pay off the bonds on the astrodim.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
If it'd be good to know, would it now that was.

Speaker 9 (28:06):
An issue five to ten years ago. What happened to that?

Speaker 5 (28:09):
He also tells KGRH taxpayers will wind up, Yeah, we
do always with part of the bill. If tourism taxes,
you know, totel taxes that we charge right, don't cover
the debt, just more and more debt. It always falls
back to taxpayers. I'm sure we Fryar on news radio

Speaker 1 (28:39):
And again the now right now News Radio seven JTRH.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
By thirty nine here in Houston's morning news. Yeah, you
got to put the music down a little bit anyway,
didn't take long Newsweek as their first climate change related
article talking about Heleen and Milton and you know who
needs to pay for all the hurricane damage, Big oil,

(29:05):
Big oil. They're the ones that did it. They're the
ones that keep taking oil. They're the ones that are
destroying our carbon.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
Faid so well when they attacked bp OLL.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, let me let me share a little bit of
this edatorial with you so you can see how stupid
this thing is. If a bond villain had pushed a
killer hurricane button to create such a lethal storm, law
enforcement agencies would make it their top priority to find
that villain and prosecute them to the fullest extent of
the law. Our prosecutors and public safety officials don't currently
treat extreme weather fence this way, but for disasters like Helene,

(29:39):
whose destructive power can in large part be attributed to
climate change, perhaps they should. So they want, they will
if they got their their way, they got, and they'd
arrest executives, big oil executives, and prosecute them for you know,
the people who have died, for example, on the hurricane,
because after all, it's big Oil's fault that we have hurricanes.

(30:02):
Of course, we would have never had hurricanes if not
for wait a minute, hurricanes have been long for how long?

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Well, the nineteen hundred storm that wiped out Galveston Island?

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, was that big oil? Was that a big oil.

Speaker 9 (30:14):
Problems before you had a National Weather Service?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yes, exactly. Yeah, they're gone to say, if you engage
in reckless conduct that creates a substantial risk of injuring
and other person are causing your death, you've committed the
crime of reckless endangerment. If your reckless conduct actually does
cause the death, you committed reckless homicide or involuntary manslaughter.
And if you recklessly cause a death while acting with
extreme indifference to human life, you've committed second to Great Burner.

Speaker 9 (30:38):
One person with an online column.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Wow, there you go, there's an unhinged environmentalist. For you
have five forty one time for trafficking weather together.

Speaker 20 (30:48):
Please and cause a lot of people to die. Then
you've done all that too.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yes, you have, except we don't arrest.

Speaker 26 (30:52):
You for that.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
Don't you remember when it used to be acts of
gods got excluded in insurance policies.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Well, they don't believe in God anymore, so they can
mention act. They can't attribute it to God because they
don't believe in God.

Speaker 9 (31:03):
How they going to charge him?

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Exactly?

Speaker 20 (31:05):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Like eighty percent of Kamala supporters or atheists, I'm sorry,
eighty percent of atheists are voting for Kamala. By the way,
let's get on forty five North. I've got a little
time here, but I want to leave Terry some forty

to see Thank Goodness and what happens once it gets
out to sea. Do you just dissipate from there, Terry?

Speaker 22 (32:09):
Yeah, it's going to lose its tropical characteristics being a
warm core system. It's interacting with a frontal boundary out
there in the Atlantic, so it'll continue to week in
and continue to be just kind of a nondescript area
of low pressure eventually and then just fizzle on out.

Speaker 9 (32:27):
We're still seeing some of the effects along the coast.

Speaker 23 (32:30):
Even though.

Speaker 22 (32:34):
Even though it's weakened into just a hurricane with eighty
five mile an hour winds, it's much weaker and it's
moving offshore. We still have the hurricane warnings along the
east coast of Florida, with tropical storm warnings and surge
concerns still.

Speaker 9 (32:49):
For the east coast. Believe it or not, that should
begin to improve by the afternoon.

Speaker 22 (32:54):
So we are out of the worst of Hurricane Milton,
and now it's time to get out there and assess
and start getting things back together. Nice and quiet around here.

KTRH time saving traffic connext on the ten five fifty
two is their time now? All right? When did the
left get the foot in the door, Mike? If I
had to take a guess, I'm gonna say, if I
had to pick a year, I'm gonna go with nineteen
sixty eight right around there.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
No, that's when it ramped up. It started in nineteen thirteen.
Woodrow Wilson was a progressive president the League of Nations.
Remember that it was yeah, World War One, it was
nineteen eighteen.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Well, the schools were still normal back then. I think it.
I think it's the key thing on where you live.
I guess let's ask Henry Woodburg what she thinks. She's
an editor of American Thinker. When do you think the
left got his foot in the door and where did
they stick it in the door? I think it was
the schools are both right.

Speaker 19 (36:02):
It did start with the progressives even before Wilson, because
they were the experts and they were going to turn
schools into factories where children learned how to be good
socialists because they were Progressivism was socialism. The Frankfurt School
that escaped Nazi Germany started teaching it at colleges, especially Columbia,

(36:24):
so more and more teachers were trained in it, and
by the nineteen sixties late nineteen sixties it started flowering
in school districts in more leftist cities, such as when
I grew up in San Francisco, New York, Chicago. And
then it continuously got reinforced through the colleges as all
the teachers training colleges turned hard left. So it doesn't

(36:45):
matter if you're in a teeny red community or in
New York City, all your teachers are going to be
teaching socialism, which was started one hundred years ago by
people like Dewey and Gain Adams at Hull Health and
then it's been What we haven't seen is one hundred
years of this.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Okay, Well, if it's all across America and it's in
all the schools, pretty much all the schools, what hope
do we have? I mean, how do you turn that around?

Speaker 19 (37:14):
Well, if they took one hundred years to bring it
to us, it's not going to turn around overnight. I
would say homeschooling is a good way to go because
the schools, unless you have an exceptional school system, the
schools you're corrupt across the board, ideologically corrupt, and having
parents who are willing to work hard to communicate their
values to their children, getting involved in school boards, going

(37:38):
to the meetings and hoping you don't get arrested by
the FBI. Electing conservatives for the school board. That's a
huge thing because lefts are gravitate to schools as teachers
as administrators, and conservatives don't. And it means reorienting conservative

(37:59):
energy in terms of school boards teaching things like that.
You know, more and more states are doing something really wonderful,
which and I believe Florida has done this, which is
to say that you don't need to have gone to
a teaching college to be a teacher. You just need
to pass a standardized test in your subject because college
is Yeah, I worked for years with teachers when my

(38:23):
kids were in school. They know nothing but the teacher's textbook.

Speaker 9 (38:28):
And leftism.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
So much of it is about the money though, Andrea.
I mean here in Houston, HID is a huge school, desert,
huge budget. George Sorows was putting a lot of money
into HID and they just loved him for it because
he allowed all these programs to be available. Well, look
what happens when you've got billionaires coming in who are
socialist or Marxist, and it's all about the money.

Speaker 9 (38:51):
And it's political power too.

Speaker 26 (38:54):
It is.

Speaker 19 (38:55):
My dad was a teacher. We scraped by near poverty level,
and when my kids were growing up, the teachers we're
getting lavish pay for seven months of work.

Speaker 35 (39:05):
And so.

Speaker 19 (39:08):
The whole economic system is different, and it's coming from
the state, and it's coming from these leftist people and
they're setting up programs, and a lot of it is
all these young women we hear about. You know, the
largest sex group of people supporting Harris is white young women.
And these are the ones who go to the teacher colleges.
These are the ones who come out and teach the

(39:29):
children about climate change and gender madness and United States
being a colonialist power, the common core. And they're not
the crazy purple haired people you see on libs of TikTok.
They're sweet young women who are vectors of leftism.

Our top story this hour. What a wrath of Hurricane Milton.
It made landfall as a Category three storm near cs
t Key with one hundred and twenty mile an hour

(42:06):
winds last night. Storm Surgeon double digits then cut a
path of destruction across the state, spawning a series of
deadly tornadoes on the East coast. Right now, Milton is
at sea just beyond Cape Canaveral, Category one storm still
though with winds of eighty five miles per hour. More
than a dozen of those tornadoes spawned by this system

(42:29):
responsible for the multiple fatalities being reported. Florida's power outage
trackers showing more than three million people without power, and
the winds are still fierce all across the Sunshine State.
Milton striking just two weeks or so after Helene, and
as of now, the official death toll from Helene is

(42:50):
two hundred and thirty two. Much of those deaths in
western North Carolina still in shambles.

Speaker 9 (42:57):
So they're afraid that the death toll will rise.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
An embarrassing moment for the Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris
during a FEMA hearing or a big show put on
by the FEDS last night.

Speaker 12 (43:10):
Flood.

Speaker 17 (43:12):
We really got to watch those areas in those communities,
so it takes quite a while for that water to drain.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
She was caught on video. You couldn't quite hear her.
She was covering her mouth and asking is this a
live broadcast? She was trying to talk to somebody in
her earpiece who was feeding her questions. Apparently, at least
that's the way national media was reporting it. Multinational media
outside the US climate change crowd leaping on to natural

(43:42):
disasters that we've had back to back now, Helene and Milton.

Speaker 21 (43:47):
The truth is these are just tragic but predictable natural disasters.

Speaker 8 (43:51):
At climate ambulance chasing and what they're doing every bad
weather event, they're claiming it's because of our SUVs keeping
our air conditionier.

Speaker 21 (43:59):
To Mark Murano with the Climate Depot says, what we
are seeing right now isn't anything out of the ordinary.

Speaker 8 (44:05):
These are the facts. Even the United Nations and their
climate reports acknowledge that extreme weather hurricanes, in particular, there's
no climate signal.

Speaker 21 (44:14):
Morano pointed out that since the nineteen hundred Galveston hurricane,
global storms haven't actually gotten any deadlier. Ethan Buchanan News
Radio seven forty KTRH even.

of the history of our country.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
I believe that Donald Trump rallying with thousands in Reading, Pennsylvania,
his second appearance in that state yesterday. He heads Wes
later this week, well, actually as early as tomorrow. Scheduled
rallies Friday in Aurora, Colorado, and Nevada, then California and
Arizona through the weekend, and there could be a Trump
rally in Manhattan. To The New York Post reporting he

(45:12):
could speak at Madison Square Garden on October twenty seventh.
He addressed that last night in his group with reading
No yeah reading where he was at reading?

Speaker 9 (45:24):
I listened to it.

Speaker 20 (45:25):
VP.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
Kamala Harris is finally doing some interviews, but she can't
explain her economic plans except to say she's going to
make the rich pay.

Speaker 9 (45:31):
There you for this fair Share.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
RNC spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipkow tells Fox Harris keeps repeating that
same talking point.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
Without any actual explanation on how that's going to work,
what that means, and whether the rich are actually being
taxed in a lower tax bracket apparently than the teachers.
But that's exactly the reason Kamala Harris is failing, after
almost four years in the White House to connect with
the American people.

Speaker 24 (45:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:56):
In one of her adds, Harris claims she's going to
help families get out of debt by raising taxes on billionaires.
That doesn't explain exactly how does that work. With Harris
and Tim Walls having the most extreme views possible from
the left, many are wondering how did the left get
his foot in the door to America and share.

Speaker 27 (46:17):
According to Andrea Wiberg of American Thinker, it was actually
over a century ago.

Speaker 13 (46:22):
This was the plan beginning in the early nineteen hundred,
so Woodrow Wilson progresses. They were socialists, they were open
about it.

Speaker 27 (46:29):
She says, it's been a long term play with long
term consequences.

Speaker 13 (46:34):
Peeling kids away from patriotism, peeling them away from the constitution,
taking education out of education, and turning it into a

young people are more likely these days to be dealing
with chronic disease.

They're developing diabetes and heart disease decades earlier than their

impact on longevity and their ability to function.

Barrett and Sheriff Fryer six O. Wait is our time
here in Houston's Warning News? Different than Joe Biden? She
got asked that on every single show she was on.
We're going to ask you how you're different than Joe
Biden because people want change. So it's not a good
idea that you answered the question with. I'm just like

(48:09):
I'm the same. I'm just like Joe Biden. She hasn't
offered anything different than what the Biden administration has been
serving up. Her last stop with Stephen Colbert, who she
drank a beer with, because that makes her look more
human right that she's having a beer with him.

Speaker 9 (48:25):
I wouldn't call that a beer, No Miller.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
High Life, No, I would call that a beer either.
Might well had a mice. Yeah, bister Brown? Do you
have bister brown? Though? That was when I was like

a sixty four ounce bottle.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
You were lucky. We didn't have We had Stros and
Meister Brow and a whole bunch of you know, pseudo
German beers. Anyway, I digress. Here's Kamala with Stephen Colbert. Here,
we're gonna We're going to lob it to you again.
How are you're going to be different? How are you
going to answer it this time?

Speaker 37 (49:04):
Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters,
really want this to be a change election, and that
they tend to break for you. In terms of thinking
about change, you are a member of the president administration
under a Harris administration.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
What would the major changes be and what would say
the same?

Speaker 18 (49:25):
Sure, well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and
so that would be one change in terms of But
also I think it's important to say with you know,
twenty eight days ago, I'm not Donald Trump. And so
when we think about the significance of what this next
generation of leadership looks like were I to be elected president,

(49:48):

She's an extreme radical left lunatic. Happens here News Radio
seven katrh Yesterday morning, we talked to Ryan Soudalise morning
news anchor WSNN TV in Sarasota, Florida. That's before Milton
showed up. Milton showed up right between Tampa and Sarasota,
very close to Sarasota. In fact, Brian, I know you're

(54:40):
battling down the hatches yesterday. How'd you fare?

Speaker 35 (54:43):
I actually, all things considered fairly fairly well, still been
without power for about twelve hours now, but the yeah,
I believe the I came over right around leado Key,
just a little north of cs to Key Beach and
actually had about a half hour experience directly inside whatever
was left of the eye where there was just absolutely

(55:04):
no wind, and then moments later just kicked back up
to fifty sixty miles an hour.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
I was watching people from your west coast reporting from
parking garages and other places up above the waters. The
storm surge was just unbelievable to me, watching that water
coming in. What was the wind like I mean, can
you even describe what it feels like when you get
battered by that kind of wind.

Speaker 35 (55:28):
It was very It was different because I was expecting
kind of like a like a north south but you know,
the first, you know, few hours of the storm, the
wind is blowing directly kind of away from my house
and windows, and then the eye hit where it was
just calm and serene, and then the trees just blow
the complete opposite direction when the when the back end

(55:50):
of the of the storm came through, so it was very,
very windy. Did not go outside much, but in the
eye there were a few neighbors that came out and
just kind of staring up in.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Yeah, I'm guessing you know, there's not a lot of information.
Obviously you don't have powers, so there's not a lot
of information that you can gather. But some of the
video coming out of Tampa right now is really quite amazing.
Trapa cana Field, the entire roof is pretty much blown
off with traffic canna Field. I guess that's not a
huge surprise, but you know, we're talking multi billions of
dollars worth of damage here, aren't we.

Speaker 35 (56:21):
Well, in traffic Cannafield is my second home. During baseball season,
I do some work with their in game presentation people.
So watching the watching the video come out of Saint Petersburg.
We've been through some nasty storms and in recent years,
but I don't think we've ever ever could have imagined
the damage and destruction to the roof of the trough.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
As far as the rest of state, we're watching people
being rescued out of apartment complexes in Orlando, that area,
your whole Atlantic coast is that's that's not storm surge,
that's rain and that's what lake's over running.

Speaker 9 (56:56):
What is that high water from there?

Speaker 35 (57:00):
I would imagine it would be from the rain. Again,
we've been so saturated the last three months with these
you know, so called you know once in a hundred
year storms. You know we've had Debbie, Helene. Helen didn't
hurt Orlando that bad, but you know, to have that
much rain saturate in the ground, you know, there's just
no place for it to go. So those lakes can't recede.

(57:22):
Those rivers are going to rise, and that's that's probably
where that surge is mostly coming from.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
And Ben, what have you heard of anything about FEMA's
presence there what they're doing, where they're at, what they're providing,
and how long you're likely to be without power.

Speaker 35 (57:37):
You know, about two hours ago I did get a
little flicker in the House of Power on so I
believe they are are working on it. As far as
the FEMA presence, I mean, the sun is just rising
here in Sarasota, so as far as you know, seeing
what's that on the road, I've seen a couple of
police cruisers drive by the neighborhood, but so far, it

(57:57):
seems everybody's just hunkering down and waiting waiting for the
sun to fully come up and truly assess the damage.

your house. Ryan, hope all turns out well. Thank you

Speaker 28 (01:01:38):
Many people, just by the nature of the climate we're in,
are reluctant to really be candid with what they're planning
to do. The truth of the matter is we have
been poorly taught in the church biblically, the purpose of
government and God's design of civil authority.

That survey estimates of forty one million evangelical Christians won't vote.

No kid going back to after another, going back to COVID,
and we need to pay attention to this. The current
administration course is not They don't seem to understand. You know,
where most of the jobs in this country come from.
They come from small business. Here's Q one Research CEO
and chief strategist Danielle DiMartino Booth on small business uncertainty

(01:07:01):
and where we're.

Speaker 40 (01:07:02):
At with all this and now their lenders are kicking
them when they're down. When you think about the differential
between the prime rate where the biggest companies can borrow
from a bank, what that rate is, and where small
businesses are borrowing. You just put ten point one percent
of there. That's more than a two percentage point difference
between the big.

Speaker 9 (01:07:19):
Guys and the little guys and the little gals.

Speaker 40 (01:07:21):
It's huge, and they're being penalized for being the largest
business creators in the country by having to pay up
if they want to try and grow their businesses, which
the other chart you just put up showed they can't
grow their business. Nobody wants to talk about it. It's
not polite conversation. But we're seeing small businesses continue to
go out of business, one after another after another. We're
seeing a pickup in the bankruptcy cycle on the small

(01:07:43):
business side. If we were to put up a next graph,
so to speak, we would show that there's a cycle.
Right when a company goes out of business, it's going
to affect the company's employees next and they're going to
have a hard time making their bills. And what we're
seeing is that a year ago, personal household bankruptcies were
growing by fourteen percent year over year. They were south
of twenty thousand at the time. Now that rate's growing

(01:08:03):
at twenty two percent, right, and it's north of twenty
four thousand. Just in the month of September households applying
for Chapter seven bankruptcy protection.

Speaker 39 (01:08:11):
So the business goes out and a few months later
in personal Okay, well that makes a lot of cycles.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
Through, yeah, cycles through. Businesses go bankrupt and then the
people who ran the business go bankrupt, and the people
who work for the business go bankrupt.

Speaker 5 (01:08:23):
And entire communities start folding. But you know, multi culture,
multi national globalist. No, they don't care about schooling this
right on. And you know in the politicians like they
don't even like small business. Yeah, politicians don't get rich
off small business.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
No, no, but you'll see what happens. You know, politicians
get ridge off of taxes, which is what they charge
all of us.

Speaker 5 (01:08:44):
But if we don't, small businesses can't handle the inflation.
They can't borrow money, they can't grow, they can't do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):

they're borrowing at a bunch higher interest rate six forty

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
From r KTRH Generator Supercenter, twenty four hour wather Center.
Terry Smith is there. I have a question, Terry, that's
kind of been, you know, on my mind about Milton
and what happened with Milton. How unusual is it for
a system of the golf to get as strong as
Milton did and make a bee line from west to east.
Don't normally these systems, I mean, they may wobble to
the east, but don't they normally go north when they're

(01:10:30):
in the golf or west.

Speaker 22 (01:10:32):
Well, let's so this is a two part question. How
unusual is it for to strengthen like that? And that
is highly unusual. We've had it happen a couple of times.
Wilma I think, was one of the hurricanes that had
that rapid intensification in a about a twenty four hour
time period, and maybe Irma as well. And this time

(01:10:55):
of year, it is not that unusual to have them
go west to east. And the reason for that is
it's October. We're getting these cold fronts that come from
the north move south, and so these low pressure systems
are like a moth to the flame. They see that
cold front, they feel that col front to the north,

(01:11:15):
and they start heading in that direction. So it got
steered eastward primarily because of that coal front or troflo
pressure that was just to the north and west of it. Okay, yeah,
I think that pretty much covers it. Oh, by the way,
that you might find this interesting, Milton is a new
name that likely will be retired. The previous name was Michael.

(01:11:37):
Michael did the same thing, same time period, October ninth.
I think it made landfall in north Florida, moving west
to east.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
And what are you unick name? That was my grandfather's name,
by the.

Speaker 22 (01:11:47):
Way, really Milton Milton. Somebody said Milton's a nerdy hurricane.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Well that may be the case.

Speaker 9 (01:11:55):
Maybe for everybody, but people in Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):

we can't figure out just what that is my ol
zero turn and don't turn anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
In the driveway out under the trash. So, FEMA, you'd
like to do something for me, Why don't you stop
by and justus my what's six fifty three now here
in Houston's warning news right FEMA? James Gombert. Of course,
James Cobert loves I think he loves his committee job
more than anything else, and he would like to have

(01:15:19):
a meeting with the FEMA folks. He has some questions
he would like to ask. Here he is talking about FEMA.

Speaker 42 (01:15:24):
I haven't found a government agency yet in Washington, d C.
That whenever they're faced with a crisis, they don't say
they need.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
More money and more employees. But at the end of
the day, we haven't heard.

Speaker 42 (01:15:35):
From FEMA prior to this hurricane season with respect to
raising concerns about staff shortages or whatever. I've dealt with
FEMA in my district. We had a tornado outbreak a
few years ago in western Kentucky. And you know, FEMA
is like any government agency. They're not known for their
their speed or efficiency. But at the end of the day,

(01:15:57):
I think that we need to have FEMA into in
front of the Oversight Committee because we hear reports that
they're out of money that came from Joe Biden, even
though the mainstream media is saying the Republicans are spreading misinformation.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
Joe Biden was the first person to say.

Speaker 42 (01:16:10):
That FEMA didn't have enough money and he was going
to have to call Congress back. Now we know that
they do have enough money for the last hurricane, but
I don't think any member of Congress can tell you
specifically where the majority of the money FEMA goes other
than it goes forward disaster relief. We need specifics, and
I don't think any government agency in the Biden Harris

(01:16:32):
era has been very specific or very transparent with where
they spend their funds. And that's what we need in
government is transparency. And at that point, if Congress sees
that there needs to be a significant increase in funding
or significant increase in s having, I'm confident Congress would
step forward. But right now, with this lack of transparency

(01:16:54):
by Joe Biden Kamala Harris, you know, there's just a
lot of questions Congress has, and that's what we want
to answer in.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
A see they get to define for themselves what an
emergency is, and for them, the immigration is an emergency.
So that's where a lot of money has been going.
How much money do they really have? I don't know
that anybody knows for sure. I heard seven billion, I
heard twenty.

Speaker 9 (01:17:14):
Billion, I heard eight bill I read eight billion. But
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):

This new sponsor by Oopstein cleaning our top story this hour.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
And there goes tropa cannafield roofs there with the roof.

Speaker 5 (01:20:22):
That was Hurricane Milton blowing the roof off Tropic Canna
Field in Tampa Saint Petersburg and the storm surge still
flooding streets there this morning. The system making landfall as
a Cat three hurricane near cs to Key one hundred
twenty mile an hour winds. Currently it is still a
Cat one hurricane. It's out at sea now. And it

(01:20:42):
did cut a path of destruction across central Florida, deadly
tornadoes creating a lot of the fatalities. More than two
dozen of those twisters spawned cause at least four deaths.
So far, Florida's power outage trackers shows du more than
three million people without power. This storm, hitting just two

(01:21:04):
weeks after Helene, killed at least two hundred and thirty
two people across six southeastern states, and that number is
still going to rise, according to officials. Biden Harris regime
is politicizing the disasters. However, they're trying to deflect their
botch federal response in both North Carolina and state response

(01:21:25):
there too.

Speaker 6 (01:21:27):
They're saying that money needed for these crises are being
diverted to migrants.

Speaker 20 (01:21:31):
What the heck are they talking about?

Speaker 7 (01:21:34):
Stop it, it's outraising.

Speaker 9 (01:21:35):
Yeah, he's blaming Donald Trump. Oh, Joe Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:21:38):
It was a briefing before Milton's landfall last night where
the Feds tried to take charge and show that they're
in control, not climate crowd, using Heleen and Milton to
push their radical green agenda every time they get a chance.
And now every storm is guess what extreme weather.

Speaker 8 (01:21:58):
It's a game effect, active game. And expect them to
ride this all the way to election day, because you
got Bill nine now on TV literally saying vote your
way to better weather.

Speaker 5 (01:22:09):
Mark Morano with Climate depot, he told KTRH it's dirty politics,
and first they instill fear and then they play off
it and take control. Even real estate app Zillow now
with the climate agenda, the showing climate risk data for
property at least seven O four is our time. Donald

(01:22:30):
Trump and rallies with thousands of his supporters everywhere. He
goes last night reading Pennsylvania, his second campaign appearance in
that battleground state yesterday, and he made an observation about
the current president.

Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
I tell you he's looking pretty good compared to Kamala.
I say, right, first time, I said, you know, this
guy's starting to look sharper.

Speaker 5 (01:22:55):
Trump believes that Biden hates Kamala as much as he
hates Trump. Resident's going to be rallying in Aurora, Colorado,
and Nevada tomorrow, California Saturday, Arizona Sunday. Trump, who drew
thousands in the Bronx earlier this year, says that he
will rally at New York's Madison Square Garden October twenty seventh.
That's the world's most famous arena. It's got that title.

(01:23:18):
Holds just under twenty thousand people. Harris Wall's campaign while
the Minnesota governor and second Gentleman Doug m Off they
were caught on tape walking away from a cafe counter.
It was a campaign break in, you know, without paying
for their drinks.

Speaker 9 (01:23:35):
Someone will be up here today, so right it up well.

Speaker 5 (01:23:40):
On the other Walls's daughter who told the cashier, well,
someone will be up to pay. Harris and walls. They
sure are used to using other people. That means all
of us paying for what they want.

Speaker 11 (01:23:52):
Vice President Kamala Harris says she plans to make sure
the richest Americans pay their fair share as part of
her economic plan. RNC spokes wimen Elizabeth Pipcow tells Fox
this is just meaningless campaign rhetoric.

Speaker 24 (01:24:03):
I thank the.

Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
American people, honest, Sarah too smart to fall for this.
There's no plan here, right, It's a few fancy sentences
strung together because we are a few weeks out from
election day. Jo Biden also ran on promising to tax
the rich. How many politicians have we heard that from?

Speaker 11 (01:24:17):
Harris never defines the rich or what is the fair
share they supposedly aren't paying. She also falsely claims teachers
are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires. Cory Yelson,
He's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
How did the left ever get his foot in the
door to America in the first place. Education systems is
what we're told. They've been indoctrinating our kids, now adults
than their kids for almost a century.

Speaker 13 (01:24:43):
As this wonderful article by Anthony Deblasi says, they started
implementing the intellectual ideas in the schools beginning in the
nineteen forties, and by the nineteen sixties when I was
in elementary school in San Francisco, they were in full flower.

Speaker 5 (01:24:57):
Andrew Vidburg with The American Thinker, She's it says the
anti American socialists have been here in the United States
since the early nineteen hundreds.

The progressive left would like to eliminate cows cal fart,
you know, destroying the planet, and they don't. Here's the
thing you always figure out about them. They never let
a good emergency go to waste. Never. So you got
Helen and he got Milton right. Two big storms with
all kinds of calamity as a result of that. This

(01:26:11):
is when we need to be running these stories. Get
those stories back in there, the climate change stories. Here's
another one. I found you ready for this headline Share
our food system is broken and we only have sixty
harvests left. Researchers worn sixty harvests. So what they're saying

(01:26:32):
is if you continue down this same path of eating
meat and and and and that kind of stuff, in
sixty years, we won't be able to grow any crops
because of climate change.

Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
Is that big big farming telling us this is this
researchers at ConAgra, Well, the guy who wrote National Globalism.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Philip Lindberry him, he is you love this. He is
supported by the United Nations and he supports you and
Global Agreement to Transform Food systems.

Speaker 9 (01:27:10):
Transform. What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
Well, we grow, we take, We only have sixty harvest
left in our soil. Share, you don't understand. This is
to save the future for our children. Here's what we
have to do. We have to go to a plant
based diet. We have to have compassionate agriculture, we have
to have indigenous methods, consumer pressure, new laws, new international agreements.
And we even need to have vegan pets.

Speaker 9 (01:27:34):
Because America provides food for the.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
Entire world vegan pets. So now we need to have
vegan pets. Yes, which means no more dog share because
your dog, he likes, he likes me.

Speaker 9 (01:27:45):
Right, next thing, they'll be asking us to eat our dogs.
Imagine that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
Maybe North Korea is part of this international agreement.

Speaker 28 (01:27:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
Seven to ten, Time for Trith again. Don't let a
good crisis go to way Shetland. Pony pony that ate
hot dogs? You can't eat a pony. Oh you're talking
about the pony hot dogs. Okay, I'm not eating a pony. Okay.

Speaker 20 (01:28:08):
You know they want us to eat bugs. It's that's
that's a matter of time before they have us eating bug.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
Until we eat all the bugs, and then the good
things that the bugs do won't be around to do
it anymore.

Speaker 20 (01:28:17):
I think compassionate. All right, let's go go, oh lord go.

Terry Smith is standing by. We're getting rid of Milton,
and I hope the folks in Florida are going to
have the same kind of weather that we're going to
have here for the four or five days and they
have a chance to at least dry out.

Speaker 9 (01:29:24):
I think they should.

Speaker 22 (01:29:26):
I haven't looked to see how quickly they're going to
dry out, but you know, with the winds on the
backside of the hurricane, their northerly winds usually and so
you get that dryer air, less heat less humidity. So
it does make some better conditions for them and probably
a little more comfortable too, given that there's so many
power outages. Last time I checked, I think they were

(01:29:47):
over three million customers without power. So you know, you
could have a house full of four people or six
people and that would be one customer, So over three
million customers without power. Our weather right now dominated by
high pressure and cool, comfortable in the morning, afternoons. It's

(01:30:07):
a little warm for October, upper eighties to low nineties
today through the weekend, getting into the load of mid
nineties Monday and Tuesday. Now we get a cold front,
and this is a real colprint, at least right now,
it looks like a real cold front, because we could
be talking temperatures Wednesday and Thursday of next week, high

get through this thing. Here he is bringing an update
on the FEMA and Hurricane Milton, and of course blaming
Donald Trump at twenty.

Speaker 6 (01:33:35):
Million meals forty million liters of water in my direction
saturated fence. Austin has prepositioned search and rescue teams, helicopters

They're ready to get knock by City of Missions and

Once the storm hits, We're going to work with state
officials to clear debris, restore power as through it as
fast as possible. Your army corverage is will pump out
order and decreased flooding. We've already directed the Department of
Defense to be ready to provide active duty service members
support Florida after the storm.

Speaker 7 (01:34:32):
After the storm surge, if the government of Sansers requests
the health as I expect you might so.

Speaker 6 (01:34:37):
Just like we did North Carolina, I have surged over
one thousand the US Coast Guard personnel, performed search and
vestrian commissions, and reopened the Port.

Speaker 7 (01:34:47):
Of Tampa as soon as possible. Now, I want to
reiterate a point I made earlder today.

Speaker 6 (01:34:55):
The folks who have been impacted by the linked this
impact and will be not impacted by a noble over
the last few weeks that have been reckless and irresponsible
can relentless promotion of disinformation and outrage lies about what's
going on.

Speaker 7 (01:35:12):
It's undermining confidence of the people in Florida.

Speaker 6 (01:35:15):
An incredible rescue and recovery work that has been undertaken. Literally,
there are thousands of fellow Americans who are putting their
lives at stake and putting on the line to do
the dangerous work that needs to be done, and it's
harmful to those who most need the help. Quite frankly,
these lies are un American and there are simply no places,

(01:35:39):
not now, not ever foreign. President Trump has led this
on thought of lives. Assertions have been made that property
is being confiscated.

Speaker 7 (01:35:48):
It's simply not true.

Speaker 6 (01:35:50):
For saying people impacted by these storms, who receives seven
hundred and fifty dollars in cash and no more, That
is simply not true either. Who're staying the money needed
for these crises of being converted to myricks?

Speaker 7 (01:36:02):
What the heck they're talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
It?

Speaker 7 (01:36:04):
So would raised.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
It's just not true even even if that's all folks.

Speaker 5 (01:36:10):
So, is he trying to give cover for himself for
Kamala Harris? Or is it just angry Joe Biden? Is
it actually hurting Harris more because he's trying to flex
his muscle and say, hey, I'm still president.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
Do you remember the television show Did you ever watch
a television show called In Living Color? Do you remember that.

Speaker 9 (01:36:28):
Jim Carrey to the show, but I didn't watch it.
I was working.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
Jim Carrey played a character in there called fire Marshall Bill.

Speaker 36 (01:36:34):
H huh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 9 (01:36:36):
He was always angry.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
Yeah, he sounds he's sounding more and more like fire
Marshall Bill. Let me tell you something as he tries to,
you know, get through this, this this whole thing. Yeah,
he's blaming Trump for misinformation. You know what I would
have liked to have asked him, though, Uh, mister president,
can you tell us why only nine percent of the
entire staff of individuals working for FEMA is available to

(01:36:59):
re spawned to the storm? Nine percent? I'd like to
know the answer to that one.

Speaker 5 (01:37:04):
Well, you know, and they don't do the rescues. I mean,
they come in and they supposedly coordinate things, but it's
basically making sure you get your money from your FEMA insurance.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
Yeah. And by the way, the seven hund and fifty bucks,
as we found out in North Carolina, one person only
got three hundred bucks.

Speaker 26 (01:37:22):
Where the hell is.

Speaker 5 (01:37:23):
Zeg Governor Cooper. We haven't heard from him since two
days after I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):

It is time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 9 (01:39:26):
Good morning everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:39:27):
It is now seven thirty two on news radio seven
forty k TRH our top story this our election day,
twenty six days away. Donald Trump slamming through his home stretch.
He held a big rally last night in Pennsylvania, promising
to invade enemy territory even later this month.

Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
We just rented Madison Square Garden. We're going to make
a play.

Speaker 20 (01:39:52):
We're gonna make a play for New York.

Speaker 2 (01:39:53):
Hasn't been done in a long time.

Speaker 5 (01:39:56):
Trump will be rallying in Aurora, Colorado, oh and Nevada
tomorrow and then California Arizona over the weekend. He also
rejected a debate that was proposed by Fox later this
month and true's social Trump posting there will be no rematch.

Speaker 9 (01:40:11):
There's nothing to debate.

Speaker 35 (01:40:13):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:40:13):
Mainstream media gave him hell when he encourage evangelical Christians
to break their habit and actually vote in this election.
He said, you just have to do it one time,
just one time. And then they said, oh, he's a dictator,
he's a dictator. Well, there's a new study from the
Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University that finds forty
one million Christians won't be voting. They say in November.

Speaker 27 (01:40:37):
Not everyone agrees, and Sharon Dave Welch, president of the
Texas Pastor Council, does not agree.

Speaker 28 (01:40:46):
I don't believe it's likely to be the case.

Speaker 27 (01:40:48):
Top of the list was a lack of interest in politics,
but Welch says, this is beyond that.

Speaker 28 (01:40:54):
I believe there's a sense of urgency right now by
the nature of the times that we're in that are
pretty self fed, and I think that's going to produce a.

Speaker 27 (01:41:01):
Higher level of turn in like we saw in nineteen
eighty with Ronald Reagan Jeff Biggs news for Radio seven
forty k t H.

Speaker 5 (01:41:09):
It's now seven thirty four. Mainstream media won't talk about
our border invasion either, ignoring that the FEDS, yes, the
Biden Harris regime, are allowing illegal aliens to come on
through and it's their agencies who are at the border
doing it with no ideas.

Speaker 29 (01:41:26):
A new report says, Border Protection ICE and even TSA
let in an endless number of migrants even without any
proper identification.

Speaker 12 (01:41:34):
Now, what's the consistent thread here?

Speaker 30 (01:41:35):
This is all a direct result of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden,
and majorcas's policies.

Speaker 29 (01:41:41):
Texas Representative Chip Roy telling Fox News this week that
voters should respond accordingly.

Speaker 30 (01:41:46):
President Trump is rightly campaigning on is having mass deportations
of these criminals.

Speaker 12 (01:41:51):
It's not just TDA. There are rampant criminals.

Speaker 29 (01:41:53):
Tens of thousands of migrants let in are known criminals,
even murderers. Cherit Lewis, News Radio seven forty Key Cherry.

Speaker 5 (01:42:00):
And another illegal alien caravan is heading this way into
our country.

Speaker 21 (01:42:07):
Once again, we don't know much about these illegal aliens.

Speaker 31 (01:42:10):
This group is mostly from Central America and South America,
which could mean more Venezuelan migrants. Possible trend there Ragua
gang members.

Speaker 21 (01:42:18):
Breitbart's Bob Price told KTRH, we can't expect even more
illegals to head our way as the election gets closer.

Speaker 31 (01:42:24):
Either way, there's going to be motivated to come, but
more so if President Trump is elected, because they know
he will immediately shut down the border and immediately start deporting.

Speaker 20 (01:42:33):
People prices that.

Speaker 21 (01:42:34):
Thankfully Texas hasn't slowed down its border security efforts, and
we'll be ready for the surge of illegal aliens. Ethan Buchanan,
News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (01:42:43):
It's now seven thirty five here at home. A suspected
drug dealer who, though handcuff manages to escape from the
back of a Harris County Sheriff's patrol car yesterday, is
back in custody. Trevian Howard managed to get his hand
hands from behind him to in front of him, and
even handcuff was able to open the car door through

(01:43:04):
her rolled down window. The Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg,
she announced a new crime data dashboard and it's in
partnership with the University of Houston. All about transparency, she says, this.

Speaker 32 (01:43:17):
Is in a sense the reality check also on what's recorded,
and I think that the media has responsibility.

Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
Just like we need be bear transparent.

Speaker 5 (01:43:28):
Ogg joins Houston's Morning News in just a few minutes.
She'll be here at seven point fifty. Now, Houston City
Council did a hold on a proposed property tax hike
for Houston taxpayers.

Speaker 9 (01:43:42):
That's for now. It's a hold.

Speaker 5 (01:43:44):
State's going to be providing fifty million dollars in disaster
relief for cleanup following our May storm, you know that
straight line wind and all the rain as well as
Hurricane Beryl the cleanup afterwards, But a hike could be
proposed again at next week's council meeting.

Speaker 9 (01:43:59):
We'll stay on top of it for you. Seven thirty
seven is our time.

Speaker 5 (01:44:03):
About eighty thousand people across Florida took shelter as Hurricane
Milton slammed across that state overnight, starting on the Atlantic
Coast as a Cat three hurricane and then ending outside
Orlando into the Atlantic still a Cat one. One of
the major events was the blowing off the roof to

(01:44:25):
Tropicana Field in Saint Petersburg. It was heavily damaged, and
then a spawning of massive tornadoes, a series of them.
At least four people are dead. The governor doing news conferences.
We're seeing more video now in the light of day,
and a lot of information will be unfolding with the

(01:44:46):
sun rising. Now it's seven thirty seven. As I said,
Harris County Sports Authority, they're running to call in three
hundred and fifty three million dollars in outstanding bonds to
issue new ones at a lower interest rate. Oh, that's
for future renovations of our sports facilities.

Speaker 9 (01:45:05):
But there's some fine print.

Speaker 34 (01:45:08):
The sneaky piece of this whole thing is to give
them power to issue more bonds without requiring going through
City Council or whatever Harris County in order to be
able to borrow more money for the coming renovations and
upgrades to the stadiums and arenas here in the Houston area.

Speaker 5 (01:45:23):
Yeah, that's Hank Lewis the economis at lone Start College.
I'm sure Bruck Pryor on news radio seven K.

Speaker 2 (01:45:30):
Seven thirty eight is our time here in Houston's morning news.
A right, as I promised, There's been a lot of questions,
how much money does FEMA have? How much my do
they have? Biden said they didn't have enough money to
make it through hurricane season, so did my orcis. They
both said that, So why repeating that? Why would they

(01:45:51):
consider that misinformation or lie? They're both on record is
having said it. So how much money do they have?
Here's this guy's a member of the Appropriations Committee. His
name is Andrew Clyde. He's a representative US representative. He
says FEMA has more than twenty billion dollars.

Speaker 43 (01:46:09):
FEMA ended the year September thirtieth with one point eight
billion dollars in their disaster Recovery program, their natural disaster program,
and Congress just appropriated another over twenty billion dollars to FEMA.
So FEMA has over twenty two billion dollars available to them.
So there's no way in the world that FEMA is
running out of money here in early October.

Speaker 44 (01:46:31):
So why did the head of the entire division, the
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandra and Majorcis, tell us just
last week that FEMA was running out of money.

Speaker 43 (01:46:43):
Well, I think in my experience with Secretary of Myorcus,
it's difficult to know when he's telling the truth and
when he isn't. But this particular individual just has never
been forthright I think to the people or to Congress,
it's a scare tax in my opinion. You know, FEMA
has enough money. What they don't have is enough solid

(01:47:05):
good leadership.

Speaker 44 (01:47:06):
Did they use SEMA money to pay and care and
house illegal migrants?

Speaker 2 (01:47:11):
Oh?

Speaker 43 (01:47:11):
Absolutely, they use FEMA money. You know, whether it's two
different pots of money or not is irrelevant. That's I
think what the Biden Harris administration has done is they
have twisted the mission of FEMA and now they're using
FEMA money to support.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
Illegal aliens coming into this country.

Speaker 12 (01:47:26):
That should never be the mission of FEMA.

Speaker 43 (01:47:29):
You know, they should be supporting Americans and those who
are here legally, when a disaster occurs, when a natural
disaster occurs.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
In other words, FEMA basically can or the BIDE administration
in particular, can define an emergency anyway they wish, and
they have defined illegal immigrants trying to find housing because
they're being all led into the country. They've deemed that
an emergency. So therefore they use FEMA in order to
facilitate the program and get the money. Seven forty one.

(01:47:59):
Time for traffic and leather together. As we check it
again with skymake, we've got some problems.

Speaker 20 (01:48:02):
Inside the loop.

Speaker 44 (01:48:03):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:48:03):
This is it in the Katie Freeway westbound at Washington,
right between Dennings and Ihop. This is outbound, not inbound,
stall truck and he's right around that exit. That's where
all the merging insanity happens. So I watch out leaving
downtown trying to get on to six ' ten. We're
squished out downtown in spots to your east. Text the
elevated's backed up old out from Kingwood is going to

(01:48:25):
hit that pretty short equipment down to the canyon. You
lose about nine minutes this way forty five north. We
cleared that accident that was inbound right under the b
on one Bridge. But now we have the North Loop
still westbound at Irvington. That stall still hanging out. They're
just now clearing it. You've got some backups coming over
from the Hardy trying to get into the squeeze two
eighty eight. It's dragging it from the Beltway and North Freeway.

(01:48:48):
We had something scooching us up southbound around westbound Houston.

Speaker 9 (01:48:51):
That's awesome in my family.

Speaker 20 (01:48:53):
It's a big one. It's an eighteen wheeler.

Speaker 3 (01:48:54):
He's on the side, but we're heavy both ways between
the belt and the Loop. I'm Skymike and the Classic

From r KTRH Generator super Center, twenty four hour Weather Center.
Terry Smith is here. Four folks in Florida got more
water than they could ever hope to know what to
do with. And we can't buy a rain drop around here, No,
we can't.

Speaker 22 (01:49:13):
It would be nice if we could just take a
little bit of that wet weather and bring it our way,
but that's not happening anytime soon.

Speaker 9 (01:49:19):
I don't see any rain.

Speaker 22 (01:49:20):
Our temperatures are going to stay warm into early next week,
though it looks like we make it a dose of
fall like, real, genuine fall like temperatures in the eighties
next week, middle part of next week. Right now, sunshine
and warm afternoons. Mornings are nice, but the afternoon's upper
eighties to low nineties through the weekend load to mid
nineties Monday and Tuesday, and then I keep looking ahead

(01:49:42):
Wednesday and Thursday, highs will be in the low eighties.

Speaker 2 (01:49:45):
Right now, sixty two here at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty KTRH. What you need to know
for the day ahead. This is Houston's Morning News, brought
to you by New South Windows Solution seven fifty. Here
on Houston's Morning News. Have you seen those commercials with
the district Attorney Kim Ogg for Ted Cruz? Were you

(01:50:06):
were you surprised to see that?

Speaker 18 (01:50:08):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (01:50:10):
Hopefully she's supposed to check in with us. I want
to ask her about that. That is she becoming the
Tulsi Gabbard of Houston.

Speaker 9 (01:50:16):
No, you know, it's not a politic.

Speaker 5 (01:50:18):
If she introduces data, yeah, you know, rightline data about
criminal data.

Speaker 9 (01:50:23):
Right, that's that's interesting. It is got questions. I hope
she calls.

Speaker 2 (01:50:27):
I hope so too. First we got on our call.
Come on, give us a call, give us some extra time.
If she does, all right, Let's check in with the
skuy Mike First.

Speaker 20 (01:50:34):
Welcome, kim Ogg. I've got Nord Sam.

Speaker 3 (01:50:36):
You got the roadwork of the airport, Aldan Westfield westbound

Speaker 20 (01:50:41):

For today, we're looking at plenty of sun China warm
right about ninety four high. Pretty much the same forecast
for tomorrow, a little bit warmer ninety two on Saturday,
and a little bit warmer still ninety four on Sunday,
but no rain in the forecast through the weekend. TEP.
But you're right now sixty two at your official severe
weather station, news Radio seven forty KTRAH. Time to check

(01:51:17):
out some of our top stories. Here's SHA seven fifty.

Speaker 5 (01:51:20):
Two now on news Radio seven forty K TRAH headlines
are sponsored by Marl Mechanical, Well, Florida. The sun is up,
the rain has stopped, the wind is starting to die down,
and now they're sizing up the results of Hurricane Milton
Ron Desanta is giving updates surrounded with his emergency leadership.
Far a different picture than what we saw out of
that Democrat governor of North Carolina with Hurricane Helene two

(01:51:43):
weeks ago September. Inflation, it's risen more than the government
expected zero point two percent headline year over year number
of our inflation rate now is two point four percent,
also above expectations. Sales for Hillary Clinton's latest books Something Lost,
Something gain Well Is Lost. They've bombed twenty seven thousand

Speaker 5 (01:52:10):
Population of the global population the latest news anytime ktiurach
dot com.

Speaker 9 (01:52:15):
Our next update will be at the top of the
hour every day.

Speaker 2 (01:52:19):
The most important day is election day.

Speaker 24 (01:52:21):
You're going to hear every single bit of information when
you We like to listen at the Electric Use radio
seven KTRH.

Speaker 2 (01:52:29):
We haven't heard from km on, but that's okay because
I think that new dashboard is worth talking about because
here's an opportunity for you and me, all of us
to be able to see in real time what's going
on with crime in the greater Houston area. More importantly,
see what's going on with the court cases, or what,
in most cases, what is not going on with the

(01:52:51):
court cases. The New Dashboard is a tool that was
developed between Harris County DA's office and the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Data Science Institute at the University of Houston. It
puts information from nearly one million criminal cases since twenty fifteen,
designed to provide the public with a look at the
local judicial system. I think kim Ogg is frustrated by

(01:53:14):
what our judges are doing. Is that everybody else is.

Speaker 9 (01:53:16):
Well, it's what we should have.

Speaker 5 (01:53:19):
It's transparency, she says, But we need to know, you know,
what cases are being followed, what are being let go?
How many criminals do we have out there, how many
people got released with no bond? Who are the judges
who were doing it? And there's no reason why you
can't have that information at your fingertips as a reporter
instead of having to call and wait for a callback

(01:53:39):
on the phone, because obviously we don't get the callback.

Speaker 2 (01:53:42):
Do we still have some reporters in this town that
are interested enough in that there reporting.

Speaker 5 (01:53:45):
So I also a few, we have a few investigated.
But you know, you got a lot of citizen reporters nowadays.

Speaker 2 (01:53:51):
Not the ability to social media done right.

Speaker 5 (01:53:53):
You know, that's called transparency. That's called a democracy, that's
called a republic, that's called people.

Speaker 2 (01:53:59):
Yeah, here's how the dashboard is supposed to work. Is
broken down by type and courts, as well as information
on sentencings, trials, dismissals in other aspects of the justice system,
and keeping with the principles of transparent government, they aim
to foster a sense of openness and draw informed public
participation in the years to come. Again, you know, the
best way to make sure that there's some at some point,

(01:54:23):
some change in the way the judicial system is working
in major cities, Democrat run cities like Houston, is for
the public to be informed and to complain, and to
complain loudly, and to show up and vote.

Speaker 5 (01:54:38):
And this is a county, yeah, and it's bigger in Houston,
And here's the whole county.

Speaker 2 (01:54:43):
Here's what I would start with. By the way, for
all of you conservatives out there, take a look at
all the judicial races in Houston where a Democrat is running,
a George sorosback Democrat is running unopposed, and call the
Republican Party, call Harrison on a Republican Party and ask
them why that is, Ask them why there is nobody

(01:55:06):
running against these sorrows funded judges start there.

Speaker 9 (01:55:11):
That's how you take over government, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
Y'all have a great day. We'll see tomorrow morning bright
nearly five am. I'll see the SAT from four and
AM nine fifty KPRC.
