At least thirty five were heard after a hydrogen sulfi

Speaker 7 (01:44):
We don't know what if there was some type of
manual er again, that's going to be part of our investigation.

Speaker 8 (01:49):
So frankly, I don't want to.

Speaker 7 (01:50):
Delve too much into that because this is allsto prenal there,
and I was believing, let's set our investigator team game

to determine what.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
Happened Harris County Sheriff at Gonzalez. The shelter in place

President Donald Trump in the battleground state of Michigan speaking
to the Detroit Economic Club. I want to ask you
about that group. Jimmy introduce the build It in America plan.

manufacturing back to this country, and he also tossed out

their products in the USA.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
We will bring back our country.

Speaker 9 (02:45):
We will rebuild our country, and we will reunite our

Bribe art reporting internal pulling in the Trump campaign shows
him leading in all seven and battleground states no matter
what you're hearing from mainstream media. Trump takes a campaign
west today with a rally in Reno, Nevada and a
speech in Aurora, Colorado, the Denver suburban city that's been
overrun by violent Trendeiragua gang members. Meantime, Kalala Harris is

Speaker 6 (03:40):
At another scripted and controlled town hall in Las Vegas,
a federal appeals court heard arguments of the Texas challenge
to DACA. Joseph Mazara, arguing for the state, says rescinding
DACA would remove a huge burden from Texas taxpayers.

Speaker 11 (03:58):
Survey of doctor recipients something like twenty two point three
percent of them said that where doctor ascended, they would
return to their countries of origin.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
In a statement, the Attorney General Ken Pax has said,
because of our lawsuit, the federal government has been prohibited
from approving first time DOCA applications for years. It is
now five TOHO four. Two federal judges declined to extend
voter registration deadlines following Hurricane Helene and Milton. Democrat controlled states, however,

(04:28):
are literally changing the rules to they say, help storm
victims vote.

Speaker 12 (04:35):
North Carolina officials have voted to expand ballot harvesting in
thirteen counties.

Speaker 13 (04:40):
That's fine for the affected counties, but I'm a bit
concerned that relaxation of that particular rule might be applied
to other counties.

Speaker 12 (04:48):
Chuck to Wour with the TPPF says that he believes
these changes were made in good faith, but there's still
some concerns.

Speaker 13 (04:54):
You have people who are paid to go into people's
homes and help them fill out their ballot. Now I
don't know, pat you, but I don't need any help
to fill out my ballot.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
Death toll from Hurricane Milton is now up to seventeen.
The power rings out for more than two and a
half million people in the Sunshine State. Donald Trump has
criticized the federal response to both Milton and Helene. President
Joe Biden, well, he did turn about insulting Trump.

Speaker 14 (05:30):
President Trump, former President Trump, get a life, man, Help
these people.

Speaker 6 (05:35):
Tens of thousands of people in North Carolina is still
without power. More than two weeks now after Helene did
its damage there, and the video is just stunning. Here
at home, the FEDS, the Department of Energy specifically, they're
now committing three hundred and sixty million dollars to connect

(05:56):
Mississippi to the Texas power grid. Jason the American Energy
Institute says, it's going to be sending our power to
other states and be giving more subsidies to the liberal providers.

Speaker 15 (06:11):
These companies have embraced European political agendas that are being
pushed and promoted by the Chinese Communist Party because they're
the winners in the end. If we continue down this pack,
all of those things aren't rooted in law. They don't
do anything to mitigate a change in climate. They just
make energy more expensive.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
He says, the only way to fix our grid is
to dump the subsidies. Maybe we ought to take a
look at Urkott and the PUC too. Connecting Texas to
the rest of the country has also a big talking
point in the Board of Directors meeting at Urkott.

Speaker 16 (06:43):
And Sheret Industree expert Michael Jewele says Urkott CEO Pablo
Vegas try to eliminate some of the shock value.

will not affect the aircut grids independence from federal regulation.

Americans spending more time and money on their pet dogs

They're putting their careers first, and they're living in the
cities where these big you know, all these big apartment
buildings and things are popping up, and it's just I think,
an easier It's just a way of life these days.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Stephanie Bennett with Believe in Dog Training. Another part of
the trend, though, owners are taking their dogs everywhere with
them like they are their kids, including Jimmy, into supermarkets.
I mean, what is the health code on that.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I don't take my dog to the supermarket, thank you.
The only place I take my dog is maybe to
the pet store.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
You know, the people who take them same ones who
wore masks.

Time to bring on Terry Smith. Let's talk about the weekend. Terry,
looks like a lot of sunshine coming our way.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Oh yeah, it's looking good.

Speaker 19 (10:47):
You know, it's not going to change much over the weekend.
What we've seen the last couple of days. We'll continue
into the weekend because high pressure is the main influence
and it's not going away until perhaps early next week
when we get a cold front, a real cold front
to show up. So temperatures today and tomorrow oper eightings
still load ninety Sunday and Monday in the load of

(11:10):
mid nineties, and Tuesday just slightly cooler. It's really Wednesday
that you'll notice the temperatures, maybe high temperatures Wednesday in
the seventies.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Shut up, are you? Are you serious?

Speaker 6 (11:25):
I'm hopeful.

Speaker 19 (11:27):
Yeah, I'll be serious when I see it.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
All right, things change.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
She's reserving the right to change her mind right now
sixty two at your official severe weather station, News Radio
seven forty KTRH. I used to be a sixty minutes man,
but I gave up that show a long long time ago.
And now maybe even the old folks who've been watching
this show since they were not so old folks. You

(11:54):
think the word has gotten to them about the lack
of journalistic integrity at CBS, to the point where they
actually they blatantly switched answers for Kamala Harris. There is
there is a lot of calls during your microphone on Share.
There's a lot of re edited.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
I mean, that's well.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
And they and here's the thing that's crazy about it.
They shot themselves in the foot. They're the ones that
released the promo copy that had the original answer on it.
And then they edited it for the show. Hello, could
you make it any more obvious? So now President Trump
among others calling for CBS to release the entire show unedited.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
And there are questions being raised should they be licensed.
You know you have to be licensed these legacy media folks.
That's right, it'd be licensed. Here's Fox Media guide Joe
con Joe Contra talking about this.

Speaker 20 (12:42):
The first answer, as we saw John, that was all
bubbles and no bath, right, Like, I cannot decipher exactly
what she was saying. So when the promotional clip went
out the campaign and Kamala Harris herself is getting a
lot of backlash for it, and you hear those two
words put together again, word salid. So CBS, seeing the backlash,
then sided that when they broadcast that night. And remember

(13:02):
this is still a top ten show CBS. It's on
after NFL football, they had large audience. They put the
answer out there that put her in the best light.

Speaker 8 (13:10):
So it's very simple.

Speaker 20 (13:11):
Now at this point, if your CBS News John released
the entire interview on cbsnews dot com infinite space there,
let everyone see from start to finish without any edits
or jump cups. Release the transcript while you're at it,
But CBS only released the transcript.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Of the edited portion of the interview. Why is that CBS, the.

Speaker 20 (13:26):
Same news division that screams about the importance of transparency,
is being anything but transparent transparent here, and this is
journalistic malfeasans And now the story John is far less
about Kamala Harris's actual answer after the edit and much
more about sixty minutes, and their ethics are lacked thereof
they've become the story. So this justifies Trump's decision not
to do with this interview, because if they edited Kamala

(13:48):
Harris to make her sound better, what would they have
done to the former president after editing his interview The
exact opposite.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Of course, there was no upside going there. I think
that's pretty obvious, right well.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
And they've never come back and fessed up after Leslie
Stall told him that he didn't know what he was
talking about with a Hunter Biden laptop.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
There'll be no retraction. I guarantee there'll be no retraction
from CBS. They'll just hope the whole thing goes away.
A five twenty time for traffic and maybe you will,
I know know five twenty time for traffic and weather together,
Gary Mack, what's happening out there?

He really did. He's a great guy though. All right,
Trump in Detroit at the Economic Club. It's a big deal.

(16:09):
The Detroit Economic Club is kind of a big deal.
That's where all the all the high rollers are members.
They all go there for all these meetings. They they'd
never break rules for anybody. They did yesterday they don't
normally allow a speech longer than fifty five minutes.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
He went on from I the thing.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Two plus hours, I know, two plus hours.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
And then they did Q and A a few quick questions.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah they did. They never do that. He played
music as part of his introduction. Yeah, they never do that.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Well, he got cheers. I wonder how often they cheer.
He got a bunch of cheers.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, here's what happened. You know, if you read about
it in publications like the Detroit Free Press, you know,
they'll talk about what a rambling speech it was, and
people left and blah blah blah blah blah. But everybody
they interviewed were Trump's supporters. You know, there's that disconnection,
you know, between how the people really feel about him
and reacting to him at this economic club versus what

(17:08):
the left media wants you to believe about it. And
of course, while he's there, he talked about things that
really are important to the automakers. So let's take a
little listen to that. With some reaction from his spokesperson
Caroline Lovett.

Speaker 9 (17:22):
Today I am announcing a detailed plan to save the
American auto industry and bring millions and millions of jobs
back to our shores.

Speaker 8 (17:29):
So what I'm proposing.

Speaker 9 (17:31):
Very simply, then, is a fifteen percent Made in America
corporate tax rate, cutting it from twenty one percent all
the way down to fifteen percent, but only for those
who make their product in the uss. US based carmakers
and manufacturers will also.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Be rewarded with expanded.

Speaker 9 (17:47):
Research and development text credits very substantia, where they will
be able to write off one hundred percent of their
cost of heavy machinery and other equipment necessary to build
a plant in the first year, and full expensing for
manufacturing investments, and all helping to build the sprawling state

(18:11):
of the art plan. So our country needs to be
an industrial superpower in the world.

Speaker 21 (18:16):
Let's be very clear. The UAW leadership has been entrenched
in Democrat Party politics for decades, so they may support
President Trump's opponent Kamala Harris, but the workers, the people
who are the lifeblood of our country's economy, they are
in full support of President Trump. Just look at the Teamsters,
for instance, more than sixty percent of their members indicating

(18:37):
that they are going to support President Trump in this
next election. And auto workers know that President Trump is
going to be their champion. He did more for the
American auto industry in his first term than any president
in American history. He got us out of the disastrous
NAFTA and TPP deals that were Biden Obama era deals
that sent American auto jobs overseas. He signed the USMCA

(18:58):
to protect good jobs here at home. Kamala Harris is
going to ship the auto industry in Michigan and in
every state over to China. She has a build it
in China plan with her massive capital gains tax, her
tax on unrealized capital games, and her radical electric vehicle
mandate which would force every sixty seven percent of all
cars and trucks manufactured to be electric.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
That is a gift to China.

Speaker 21 (19:21):
It's a slap in the face to hardworking autoworkers.

Speaker 10 (19:24):
They know it.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
They will be.

Speaker 21 (19:25):
Supporting President Trump at the ballot box because he is
going to protect their jobs, lower their taxes, put more
money back into their pocket.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
And here's a quick example, Mattlin Willard. This is from
the Detroit Free Press article. A small business owner said,
it did go long, but he's entertaining, he's funny, he's smart,
He's what America needs. Frankly, that's pretty typical of the
comments you see in this story. Despite the fact that
the story is all about bashing Trump.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
He did ramble with some of his stories. Did he
was all business though? I mean he laid out plans.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Yeah. Here's another one from a woman from Brighton, that's
the suburb of Detroit. I think it's fantastic, she said
of Trump's proposed tax deduction changes. Equipment for business is
very important to me, so I think it's a great
opportunity to regenerate money in Detroit and particularly stimulate Detroit
auto business that we desperately need. Five twenty seven is
our time. Let's take a look at your money. Courtney

(20:17):

polling from Merist University shows Texas Senator Ted Cruz with
a five point lead on Democrat challenger Colin Allred. Other poles, though,
show a closer race. Already spent millions flooding the airways
with TV ads, but is that enough to flip the seat.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
In the end, Beto lost by two point six percent.

Speaker 23 (22:48):
Takruz, I believe Cruz will win by a larger margin
than that, But Kruz is going to win by a
smaller margin in Texas than Trump does.

win Texas by about eight points, and he thinks that

mailings had already secretly gone out, so you couldn't call
them back. Biden Harris Justice Department. As are called suing

(23:38):
Alabama because Alabama's cleaning its voter rolls of non citizens.
But they're doing it less than ninety days before the election.

Speaker 14 (23:48):
They have found definitive evidence that there are non citizens
on these voter roles. Those names should be removed from
that list. But yet you have the Biden administration, a
weaponized Department of Justice, trying to stop the State of
Alabama from doing that.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Federalists Matt Kittleberry told kgih over thirty two hundred non
citizens were removed from the voter rules just last month
in Alabama. It is five thirty four, just in time

his assistant, Tamala Harris, who don't care about the law.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
They're undermining the rule.

Speaker 25 (24:43):
Of law by trying to unconstitutionally redistribute a half trillion
dollars in debt and these student loans.

Speaker 24 (24:48):
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the Biden
Harris bailouts could cost taxpayers as much as one point
four trillion dollars Oriolson, who's Radio seven forty ktrh, and
they're illegal.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Well, former CBS news staffers, they're the ones calling on
the network now to launch an investigation into that. Editing
of last Sunday's sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris, one
unnamed former employee told The New York Post quote that
they care about journalistic integrity, they would release the full
transcript end quote. Harris, who once tried to ban the

(25:22):
gun that she now claims she owns, is trying to
kiss up the gun owners ahead of the election.

Speaker 26 (25:28):
The Vice President says she has a glock, but it's
unclear what model and caliber.

Speaker 17 (25:33):
They're trying to be more relatable because it's right before
an election. Right after the election, they're going to start hollering, ban, ban, ban,
ban everything.

Speaker 26 (25:40):
David Amaud with Open Carey Texas, has one simple message
for those in power wanting to ban firearms, like Kamala Harris.

Speaker 17 (25:47):
I don't care what laws you pass. You're not getting
my guns, not any of them, and there's millions more
just like me, so come and take it.

Speaker 26 (25:56):
Kamala claims she wouldn't try to ban guns if elected,
but our previous stances. Disagree. Charit Lewis News Radio seven
forty teach your.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
H five thirty six is our time. We've got two
people dead, about three dozen more were injured. It was
a leak of hydrogen sulfide gas at the Pimmes plant
in Deer Park yesterday. We'll have more at six am,
more than two and a half million people in Florida
without powers still this morning after Hurricane Milton, the death
toll has risen to seventeen Texas helping in the response

(26:24):
got their early. DPS Deputy Director Freeman Martin says we
sent more than one hundred State troopers who volunteered to
be part of the recovery effort in Florida and rescue
effort too.

Speaker 27 (26:36):
What we deployed in such a short period of time
is one hundred and sixty nine patrol units, six Zodiac boats,
flatbed trailers, command trailers.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
Yeah, they're helping make sure looters don't get their hands
on things. State also sent DPS vehicles and helicopters. Kamala
Harris trying to act like she's in charge of the
federal government response to these hurricanes, and Republican Congress and
Byron Donalds of Florida says, well, that's a joke.

Speaker 28 (27:05):
What Kamala Harris frankly has tried to do is make
herself look like a leader when everybody in our state
knows that she simply is not.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
Donald's was on Fox. It was a town hall last
night that Harris claimed that macro economic numbers are looking good.
Oh that sounds steady. Inflation rose point two percent last month.
The eurover year number came into two zero point four percent,
both higher than what the so called experts predicted. And
there's more.

Speaker 29 (27:36):
The Fed is going to have a tremendous amount of
difficulty actually getting back to the two percent inflation target
because they continue allowing the money supply to grow much
too fast.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
Heritage Foundation economists EJ and Tony there the next FED
meeting while it's coming up in November. It is five
point thirty seven. Big weekend in college football Jimmy number

Now the Aggies, the Cooogs and Baylor and Texas Tech

they're all off. It's a bye for them, I'm sure
with Fryar on news radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I don't know what your opinion is of Walmart, doesn't
really matter for this story, but I think the folks
at FEMA might want to call the folks at Walmart
and see if they could sit in on one of
their emergency management meetings because they have them at Walmart.
Did you know that Walmart has their own meteorologist. He's
from Texas. I'm not sure where in Texas. His name

(28:37):
is Tompadard. Tomard gets up at about three forty five in
the morning when a storm is predicted. You know, they
got over fifty three hundred stores across the United States,
so chances are good when you've got bad weather somewhere,
a hurricane threat somewhere, that at Walmart store or stores
is going to be impacted by it. So they got

(28:58):
this whole thing they put in into effect.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Well is supply chain too.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Sure.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
You know your customers are going to be running the
stores trying to get there. You've got to make sure
you've got enough there.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Coordinate truck.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
You know, it's like its own mini port exactly.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
In fact, in Bentonville, Arkansas, which is the headquarters for Walmart.
They have about one hundred people that staff or emergency
disaster center whenever there's a major hurricane at work or
something along those lines. Certainly for Milton, they had that
they had already coordinated with their Florida stores which ones
would stay open and which ones would stay closed, and

(29:35):
where they had to reroute supplies to get them to
people in need. They did that several days before Milton
even hit, when they knew for sure headed towards Florida.
So maybe and they did it, and they did it
almost immediately. And that's the thing. There's no waiting six
days to see a Walmart truck or winning six days

(29:56):
to open up the Walmart store. Will it turned really you? Yeah,
exactly exactly. They were prepared, so FEMA carl Walmart five
forty time for traffic and weather together as we check
out the drive Gary Mackison today.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Yeah, the roadwork again on the six hit East Lupa,
just like in weekends past and northbound from Clinton to

Speaker 3 (30:34):
I'm Gerry MC of the Classic Buick GMC Traffic Center
from our KTRH Generators super Center twenty four hour Weather Center.
Time to check in with Terry Smith. Our weekend looks good,
and I'm hoping that the Florida weather looks pretty good too,
because there's a lot of cleanup to do there.

Speaker 19 (30:48):
Terry, there is a lot of cleanup, and yeah, overall,
it's a fairly quiet day. There may be a few
showers for parts of southeastern Florida, but not a big deal.
And the good thing is not only is the weather
fairly dry, but the humidity and the temperatures are also
giving them a break. It's going to be a long

(31:09):
recovery process. Nonetheless, a lot of time spent out there.
Well for us, that same high pressure system that's keeping
Florida dry is also keeping us dry and allowing our
temperatures to remain above average. Usually we're in the mid eighties,
will upper eighties to low nineties. Today and tomorrow, and
then load to mid nineties Sunday and Monday and Tuesdays

(31:32):
the big day, that's when a cold front is forecast
to get into southeast Texas and start whittling away at
this heat and bringing us a little dose of fall.
I think we'll really feel more fall like by Wednesday.

you probably can't find much of anywhere else. I don't
think there's a lot of people who are playing JD
Vance's town hall from North Carolina. But he held a
town hall last night in North Carolina. You know who
the moderator was. I thought this was interesting, Denica Patrick,
the race car driver. I didn't know that. First of all,

(32:22):
he didn't I assume she's conservative, or she wouldn't have
been there, So I didn't know that about her.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
Number One Well, that plays well in North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
I would a race car driver guy would think, so
she's actually so I looked up, Well, maybe she's from
North Carolina. She's not. She's from She was born and
raised in Illinois. She lives in Beloit, Wisconsin.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
I know where.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Beloit is a battleground state.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Of course, so the college they are very liberal.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Because the topic of disaster relief in FEMA came up,
as you might imagine what Jdvans had to say about
that coming up next, first though, traffic and weather together.
Gary Mack feels is in on how the drive's going
so far.

WHOA That's all I can say. Whooa stay away from
the banana moonshine. It'll get you all right. Jd. Vance
wasn't sipping on any moonshine, but he was talking about
FEMA natural disasters and was getting asked questions. I mean,
he's answering questions being asked at a town hall last

(34:50):
night moderated by Danica Patrick. Here's a little interaction between
him and one of the people who had a question
for him.

Speaker 30 (34:57):
Say, we have a conversation about revamping a national disaster
strategy so that we can utilize retired veterans and special
operations personnel who.

Speaker 8 (35:05):
Have been leading the charge hands down.

Speaker 30 (35:07):
In western North Carolina and effectively provided food supplies and
medical aid and assistance to thousands and thousands of lives,
and revamping the national disaster strategy in the United States
that we can make it more effective.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 31 (35:20):
Man, that's a big question, an important question. Let me
just say, I want to read a rate Donald Trump,
and I know that the Appalachian region of our country,
Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, East Kentucky, West Virginia, southwestern
Virginia has been left behind and forgotten, and we're not going.

Speaker 28 (35:36):
To do it.

Speaker 31 (35:36):
We're not going to do it in response to this disaster.
And we're never going to let the people of that
region of our country, the region really built our country.
We're never going to let them be left behind or forgotten.
I promised that to you, man. And let me just
say about the disaster response. First of all, I want
to thank you all for everything that you did.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
And I want to thank.

Speaker 31 (35:56):
All the private relief agencies, that charities, the good Samaritans
who did their job and took care of their fellow Americans.
God bless you guys. We should all be proud of them.

Speaker 28 (36:05):
And it would have been a lot worse without them.
And look, I think now that hopefully we're moving to
the stage where we're trying to rebuild as opposed to
just recover. And I know we're still recovering a little bit,
and that's an unfortunate tragedy here.

Speaker 31 (36:26):
But I think once we get past that, hopefully in
the next few days, where we've gotten everybody saved, everybody
that we can save, then it's time to focus on
the disastrous federal response to this incredible crisis.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
It's not any one agency.

Speaker 31 (36:39):
And there are a lot of people working on the
federal effort, who are doing a good job, or at
least as doing as good as they can. The problem
is all the bureaucratic incompetence that I was actually talking
with Elon Musk about this a few days ago. I
mean Elon, by the way, was like a center left Democrat.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Four years and ago.

Speaker 31 (36:55):
Now he's got a dark maga hat right on that
you need to talk about a guy who's pissed off
about government account but it's Elon Musk.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
But I think what happened is.

Speaker 31 (37:05):
Look, you've got the FAA, you've got FEMA, you've got
all these relief agencies, and you've got people who have
been trained by the government bureaucracy that their job is
not to cut the bs and help people, it's to
basically act like.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
The DMV right.

Speaker 31 (37:22):
And unfortunately, what that means in this case is you
got a lot of people who could have been helped,
a lot of lives that could have been saved that weren't.
And there's a lot of details to figure out. There's
I'm sure we're going to learn a lot about how
corrupt and incompetent our government is. But I think the
most important thing here is we try to get to
the bottom of how we had such a mass of failure.

(37:43):
And I'm sorry. Think about this. In twenty ten, the
terrible earthquake and Porta Prince Haiti, the eighty second Airborne
was there two days later.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Two days later.

Speaker 31 (37:54):
The eighty second Airborne is an hour away from western
North Carolina and it took six days to get them there.
That doesn't happen without a failure in leadership. We got
to get to the bottom of exactly what that failure
of leadership look like. And I the final thing I'll say, sir,
is the only way to fix this is by accountability.

(38:15):
It's true in the private sector. It's true in the
public sector. If you don't have accountability. In other words,
if you don't fire the people who screwed up, it's
never going to get better.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
There you go, Amen, brother, Amen to that. Fire those,
Fire them. I can't say what I wanted to do.
Just fire those. I hear you, Yeah, got it, Okay,
fire them. Five fifty six Now in Houston's Warning News.

Vance was doing a town hall in Greensboro Breiitbart reports
that internal polling from the campaign is showing that Trump

of the voting rules in North Carolina have been changed,
they say, in order to help the victims of the
storm vote. But there are concerns about those changes in

that Democrat administrated state.

Speaker 13 (43:29):
The big concern I have is that there could be
some lawsuits that might seek to apply those emergency rules
to the rest of the state, and that's what we
have to be on guard against.

As Chuck Jovor with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, he
says he's also worried about the so called vote traffickers.

Death told from Hurricane Kane Milton rises to seventeen as

says Congress will not be returning from its recess to

(44:19):
approve more funding for FEMA. They've got an election that
they're paying attention to. FEMA claims is out of cash
to help hurricane victims, but the Department of Energy committing
three hundred and sixty million dollars, they say, to connect
Texas to the national power grid. Yeah, take it over.

Speaker 34 (44:38):
The Southern Spirit Line would tie into Mississippi, but could
cause more problems.

we got more and more people taking their canine child

Dog owners are more likely to have their dogs tag

Did you hear what Biden said yesterday? It is Biden

emergency response workers, which is no excuse for assisting in
hurricane recovery. And I will quite him not. I unfortunately
don't have the audio from this. Our fellow Americans are

(47:52):
putting their lives on the line to do this dangerous
work and received about bet Penn. I've received death penalties
yesterday as a result of reckless, irresponsible and relentless disinformation
and outright lives that continued to flow. So he said
that the federal workers had received death penalties instead of

(48:13):
death threats. Now, if any of these workers are getting
death threats, that's clearly wrong. You know, I understand there
are people who are frustrated. There's no excuse though for
threatening threatening somebody with their life. But this is not
This is not because of misinformation. It's because of frustration
of people receiving services from the federal government a week

like the cold frontal swing through Tuesday, and then you'll
really notice the cooler air by Wednesday.

Keeping you in the know all the information in real
time and again.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
The now right now News Radio seven KTRH Thanks twenty
two is our time here in Houston's Morning Knows. I
know who I don't love when it comes to choosing
in November. But how hard will it be to vote
in North Carolina, parts of North Carolina, Western North Carolina, Georgia,
and now in you know, the Tampa Sarasota area in Florida.

(52:43):
Chuck de Ar joints is Texas Public Policy Foundation. What
do you think, Chuck? Do you think this is going
to have any impact on the election? Well, I would
imagine one of the things I would expect to see
is somebody calling for more mail in ballots.

Speaker 13 (52:58):
Right exactly. So the first thing that we can see
is we can look at North Carolina, which has the
most interesting or problematic, if you will, partisan effect, because
the thirteen counties that were really slammed in western North
Carolina provided about a quarter million votes margin for former
President Trump in the twenty twenty election, which was well

(53:21):
more than the amount that he won North Carolina by,
which was just under one hundred thousand votes. And so
the question is that if those are individuals in areas
where their precincts were literally washed away, they have no
place to vote. Then you know, yeah, that could affect
North Carolina cold even flip the state. Now, what's happened
is a few days ago the state election board passed

(53:45):
a series of temporary measures that would help people in
those affected areas vote. Now here's where things get kind
of complicated and interesting. The theory is that democratic election
law attorneys, people like mar Elias who paid a played
a huge role in twenty twenty using the COVID pandemic

(54:06):
as an excuse to do sue and settle operations in
left wing urban areas, saying hey, you don't want to
follow these election rules, you're going to kill grandma, right.
You have to have drop boxes, you have to have
relaxed rules on mail and voting. And so what's happened
in North Carolina is that the concern is that the
relaxed rules in those thirteen counties might be then applied

(54:29):
to the unaffected blue areas of the state to the east.
And in particular, I'm concerned about multi partisan assistance teams.
These teams are designed to go out and to harvest
mail in ballots.

Speaker 6 (54:47):
And this is Democrats, well, for the most part, ostensibly right.

Speaker 8 (54:52):
Ostensibly the rule was.

Speaker 13 (54:55):
Made by to those thirteen counties to the west of
the state, and it hasn't yet been applied to the
whole state.

Speaker 6 (55:03):
But the Democrats are going to try to do it,
is what you're fear is is right?

Speaker 13 (55:07):
Right, because if you look at twenty twenty, that's what
they did with COVID, right, And so what would happen, presumably,
is there'd be some sort of an equal protection clause
fourteenth Amendment claim said that, hey, you can't have these
rules only in the west, right, that's not fair. You
have to have them apply to the whole state. So
that hasn't happened yet, but we're keeping a very close

(55:30):
eye on it to make sure that it doesn't happen.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Honey.

Speaker 6 (55:33):
How they have the money to do that, right?

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Right?

Speaker 13 (55:39):
Well, you know, look, this is about power, and some
people are extremely serious about gaining and holding power because
that's what they really care about. So, you know, elections
every couple of years, every four years, they're all about
every bit of leverage you can get some for some groups.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
And if money's a problem, mister Sorows, I'm sure would
be glad to write them a check.

Speaker 13 (56:02):
Yeah, yeah, or as we're beginning to find out even
foreign sources of money has been suspected, with entities like
ac Blue that do not properly attribute their donations.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
As you may have been following.

Speaker 13 (56:16):
There are older individuals, some of whom live in trailer parks,
who are now supposedly donating thousands of times and tens
of thousands of dollars, and people have talked to them
and they're like, I don't know what you're talking about.
I haven't given money to anybody.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
Right, money laundering, Yeah, they're very good at that, all right.
Chuck is always thank you, appreciate your time from the
Texas Public Policy Foundation. Chuck Devor, it is six twenty seven.
It is time to take a look at your money.
Fortney Donaho is here.

Speaker 22 (56:44):
Hey there, Jimmy Well. Stocks are holding steady, futures little
changed as we focus on the economy. Yesterday's hotter than
expect inflation data making traders uncertain about the size of
the Federal Reserve's next interest rate cut. Quick check of

Slow economic growth in China, which is the world's biggest
crude importer, have weighed on market sentiment. This year, Boeing

is taking a harder line with its union by filing
unfair labor practice charges, saying the other side has bargained
in bad faith. The stakes are high for both sides.
Boeing's finances are increasingly strained, while workers are no longer
receiving paychecks, and McDonald's is preparing for a challenging twenty
twenty five. The fast food chain expects wallets of its

Speaker 3 (59:07):
It is time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 6 (59:10):
It is now six thirty two on news radio seven
forty KTRRAH. And now our top story is that with
the Texas Senate race between Ted Cruz Colin Alred has
become one of the tightest of this campaign. You can't
turn your TV on without seeing an Allred ad these days.

Speaker 12 (59:27):
He's spent millions on TV time in his effort to
unseat Ted Cruz.

Speaker 23 (59:31):
When it's all said and done, Alred and his outside
groups will spend one hundred million dollars of this US
Senate race. He's had a spending and fundraising advantage for
most of this election cycle.

Speaker 12 (59:40):
GOP strategist Matt Kobeac told KTRH that this money is
coming from all over the country and from Soros.

Speaker 23 (59:45):
All right, we'll have thousands, if not tens of thousands
of contributors from Yes Texas, but certainly a very large number.
In fact, I would bet he has contributors from all
fifty states.

Speaker 12 (59:54):
Mkoeek says that despite all this spending, Alred will still
underperform Beto O'Rourke and crews will probably win by around
four percent. Ethan Buchannan News Radio seven to forty keys

Speaker 6 (01:00:04):
Latest polling from Mary's College joh shows Cruise with a
five point lead. A federal judge is ruled against this
state and our voters, returning a suit over Travis County's
questionable massive voter mail registration program to state court. Sadly,
a similar lawsuit in Bear County was dismissed by a
state judge there because oh, they had secretly in the

(01:00:26):
dead and Knighted already sent all those mailings out, couldn't
call them back. Biden Harris administration likes to call Donald
Trump a threat to democracy, but it's a weaponized Department
of Justice that is still fighting to keep non citizens
on voter rolls.

Speaker 16 (01:00:45):
Sharah As Senior elections correspondent Matt Kittle notes, the Biden
Harris DOJ is suing the state of Alabama to stop
cleaning their voter roles.

Speaker 14 (01:00:56):
This is the plan from the Department of Justice. Alabama
isn't the only state that will deal with this.

Speaker 16 (01:01:01):
A plan that could have national repercussions.

Speaker 14 (01:01:05):
That also suggests how much the Democrats are committed to
keeping non citizens on the ballot. And then you have
to ask the next logical question, and that is why.

Speaker 16 (01:01:15):
The lawsuit is still ongoing. Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven
forty k t H.

Speaker 6 (01:01:20):
It's now six thirty four. You've got to consider the
timing of this. The White House is going to announce
yet another student loan bailout program, even after all of
their previous attempts have been stopped by the courts, including
the US Supreme Court. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey tells
Fox the administration is just openly defying our constitutional law.

Speaker 25 (01:01:45):
The Supreme Court explicitly said that they were not allowed
to do this without some act of Congress. Congress has
passed no such built, and yet the Biden Harris administration
ruled out Plan B, and now we've uncovered evidence that
they've got Plans C in the works.

Speaker 6 (01:01:57):
Yeah, the latest plan reportedly would be all for giving
loans now for nonprofit or government workers. Of course, it
was just one week ago that the grace period for
avoiding penalties on unpaid loans expired, so you know, those
loan borrowers, they've got to start paying back. Harris claims

(01:02:18):
that she owns a block although her previous statements on
wanting to ban certain firearms do include blocks.

Speaker 17 (01:02:27):
When you've been in the fight for our gun right
so long as I have, you come to realize something.
Number one, all politicians.

Speaker 8 (01:02:34):
Are full of it.

Speaker 17 (01:02:34):
And number two, the Democrat politicians are really full of it.
They just they live and breathe hypocrisy.

Speaker 6 (01:02:43):
David demad with Open Carey Texas. He says Harris is
only trying to appeal to gun owners for votes just
weeks before the presidential election. I don't know if gun
owners would really fall for it. I think she's just
going for the sisters. She's going for the I'm cool,
I got to I'm tough. I'm tough. It's now six
thirty six. Two people have died, three dozen more injured.

(01:03:06):
It was a hydrogen sulfi gas lead at the Pemmics
plant in Deer Park yesterday. We'll have more at the
top of the hour. About two and a half million
people in Florida without power this morning, still following Hurricane Milton.
The death toll in Florida is seventeen. Kamala Harris, though
she keeps trying to insert herself, acting like she's in
charge of the federal government response, does she really want

(01:03:28):
to go there?

Speaker 10 (01:03:30):
I cannot stress enough the work that we have been
doing around the clock to make sure that the federal
resources are on the ground in partnership with state and
local leaders to do the work of giving people the
relief they need so immediately, plus a commitment to helping
people in the long term.

Speaker 6 (01:03:45):
Sounds like she's reading that one, isn't it. Uh huh.
She has a couple of time zones away by the
way she's doing. She was doing a town hall reading
her response in Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
I think she has her own time zone, if you
know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:04:00):
She's trying to convince all of us our economies improving
prices just went up point two percent in the month
of September, and that's not the core inflation number. The
core inflation was even fifty percent higher point three. The
year over year number of inflation is two point four officially,
but is really more like over three percent if you

(01:04:21):
do core inflation higher than expectations. Imagine that. So where
does a FED now go on its interest rates?

Speaker 29 (01:04:29):
There's just no way to predict based on the data,
which way they're going to go in terms of rate cuts. Look,
there was no reason for them to cut rates to
begin with, there's still no reason for them to cut
rates now, but that doesn't mean they won't do it well.

Speaker 6 (01:04:44):
The FED meets again in November, we'll see six point
thirty seven is our time. We got big time college
football tomorrow. It really involves the state of Texas because
UT plays OU in the Red River rivalry. It's a
big one in this state. Kickoff Dallas two thirty Rice
will be hosting UT San Antonio. Meantime, the other teams Aggie's, Koog's, Baylor,

(01:05:08):
Texas Tech all have the weekend off. I'm Sheriff Fryar
on news radio seven forty KGRH.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Waiting for a letter coming to the mailbox. All I
get is junk mail, and that's on purpose. That's on purpose.
I don't get any mail mail. I get junk mail.
That's all I get, so I don't ever worry about
what's in my mailbox or what's being misdelivered. And this
is a reminder of why, you know, in addition to

(01:05:36):
having maybe your Social Security check stolen in the mail
by a postal, by somebody who actually works for the
United States Postal Service, there's this sixty five year old man,
a Guadalupe County resident one of his letters. I don't
nowhere in the story is so frustrates me. Nowhere in
the story does to say what piece of mail this

(01:05:58):
guy got in order to steal that man identity? What
was it? Was it a solicitation to buy a vehicle?
What was it? They don't tell you, but this guy
in San Antonio, it was misdelivered to him, supposed to
go to sixty fur year old guy in Guadalupe count
and went to San Antonio man who used it to

(01:06:20):
steal his identity and opened up sixty six fraudulent accounts,
bought a twenty twenty one Mercedes Benz and avoided a
ticket after being pulled over. Oh and he lived rent
free too. He didn't pay his rent. He just identified
himself as this other guy. Is it that easy to

(01:06:41):
steal somebody's identity? How do you get qualified to buy
a Mercedes Benz when all you have, theoretically is the
guy's name and address. Where did he get the rest
of the information you need in order to be able
to do that? What was that piece of mail that
was stolen? What was in that piece of mail? Would

(01:07:01):
you really like to know.

Speaker 6 (01:07:02):
A lot of it's online.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Very true, online, very true. And maybe this this was
just the thought starter for this theme. Yep.

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
Take it from there.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
Oh yeah, there you go, all right again. Yeah, I
don't know about you, but mail gets missdelivered to me
all the time. I get a neighbor's mail, or I
get I get mail for solicitation for the people who
lived in our home before we did neighbors. Yeah, I did.
While either do that I do, or if it's not.
Sometimes I get from a different city, it's not even

(01:07:34):
the same city, in which case i'll put you know,
I'll just put misdelivered and circle it and put it
in the outgoing mail and hope that it gets to
them someday. Traffic and weather together, Let's check out the
drive once again. Gary Mack is in this morning.

Speaker 5 (01:07:47):

about when fall arrives. What is it? Wednesday, the official
first day of fall for.

Speaker 6 (01:08:28):
Us, right, the Houston version of fall?

Speaker 5 (01:08:32):
Right?

Speaker 19 (01:08:33):
Yes, I think Wednesday is when we're going to notice
the temperatures being a little more comfortable, so that cold
front will be making its way into southeast Texas on Tuesday.
So Tuesday's kind of our transition day. Still a little
bit of heat, but not as much heat, I'll take that.
So it is very warm this weekend, warm and dry,

(01:08:53):
upper eighties to load nineties today and tomorrow than load
of mid nineties Sunday and Monday. Tuesday, I think our
tempers will range anywhere from the mid eighties to low nineties,
but Wednesday temperatures in the upper seventies to low eighties.

to me. I'm ready temperature right now, sixty two at

out of the federal government. They don't want to, they
don't want to explain it, they don't want to talk
about it. You're not going to hear from the left
stream media either, but you will hear it from us,

(01:09:29):
and that is that. Evidently we have arrested a potential
terrorist who had a plot for a major terrorist attack
on election day. Secretary Maorkist that comes under his department
in that great got asked about it, refuse to answer
any questions.

Speaker 6 (01:09:49):
Well, he was a guard for the CIA in Afghanistan
and he is brought in and they're trying to make
us believe that he was going to do it on
behalf of isis.

Speaker 6 (01:12:15):
To borrow your language.

Speaker 3 (01:12:18):
That's not what I was thinking. But ye okay, anyway,
a secretary of my orci is he was. They had
a video feed with him. He was in North Carolina, well,
actually in western North Carolina, part of the hurricane damage.
Evidently they sent him to go see what FEMA is
or he is not doing, And he was answering questions
from the White House press conference, and that's when the

(01:12:39):
Foxes Jackie Heinrich, started asking him about this arrest of
a guy plotting a terror attack on election day. You
think he's going to answer any questions.

Speaker 36 (01:12:48):
Mister Secretary, is Jackie Hydrich from Fox? I want to
ask you about a different story. This Afghan national who
was working for the CIA in Afghanistan was arrested.

Speaker 6 (01:12:58):
For planning an e lect terror plot.

Speaker 36 (01:13:02):
He was brought to the US after Afghanistan collapsed. Your
agency says as part.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
Of the SIV program.

Speaker 36 (01:13:09):
The State Department is telling us he was not part
of the SAV program, which had strenuous vetting. They say
he was never issued in SIV or immigrant visa and
DHS parrolled him into the US.

Speaker 8 (01:13:23):
They further expect the court document to.

Speaker 36 (01:13:25):
Be updated to reflect this from djside. So, mister Secretary,
how was this man brought into the US?

Speaker 8 (01:13:34):
What screening did he undergo?

Speaker 36 (01:13:36):
What did he apply for to get here?

Speaker 8 (01:13:40):

he's just ignoring it every time he gets called Congress.
He knows the answer. He's not going to give you
the answer. You know, the question is how do we
extract the answer from him? That's what I want to know.
How do we do that? Anyway?

The fedes the Department of Energy, specifically committing three hundred

do it by giving more subsidies to all those liberal providers.

Hey, we're done with inflation, right? Not so fast, my friend.
First of all, the inflation rate is higher than it
was anticipated. It was going to be annualized rate of
two point four percent. That's getting close to the two
percent target, I guess. But again, as we've talked many times,
does an account for the last two years, and you know,

(01:23:33):
the twenty percent more we're paying for everything, if we're lucky,
in some cases much higher than that.

Speaker 6 (01:23:38):
And you know, it leaves out the things that you
have to have. Core inflation came in at an annual
rate of more than three.

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
Percent, doesn't include food. Any of you, all Canadian all
survive without food. I haven't figured out how to do
that yet. It seems to be that ought to be
in there, right, we all have to eat for goodness.

Speaker 6 (01:23:55):
They keep gasoline prices in when gasoline prices are going down.
With the gasoline prices start going up.

Speaker 3 (01:24:00):
There you kick it back out, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:24:02):
And housing costs it's out there.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
Yeah, I mean really, Here is economist Steve Moore. He says,
I hope you don't mind inflation, because there's more coming.

Speaker 38 (01:24:12):
So what hasn't been about two weeks or so since
the Fed did their so called jumbo rate cut, and
since that time, as you remainber, I was actually nominated
to be on the Federal Reserve Board. So I follow
this stuff pretty closely. I like to look at what's
called the commodity index. What's happening to the price of steel, lead, oil, gas,

(01:24:35):
wool corn. Those prices just in the last weeks are
up eleven percent. So I'm here to tell you we're
going to see Biden inflation round two.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
It's coming, and in.

Speaker 38 (01:24:48):
Fact, I think you'll start to see it because if
all these commodity prices are rising, those have to filter
into higher consumer prices. We have not won the war
against inflation.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
Is that why treasury fields are rising? The text up
to four percent?

Speaker 38 (01:25:02):
Why is that because inflation expectations are rising. I think
the Fed made a major mistake in a fifty basis point.
I know Wall Street loved it, but I think it
was a major mistake because they've unleashed again. They're flooding
the economy with money. We did this in twenty twenty
one and twenty two and it did not have a
happy result.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
There you go. You know this basic economics. I know
it's basic economics. Is is lost? Where's that coming from?
Is lost on Democrats? But I get it. Seven to

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
If you are in the Trump universe, you also have
a nickname, except it's not slim or red. It might
be Tampon Tim, for example, in an effort I think
to reach out to young male voters, President Trump is
making time to do things like podcasts. He was on

(01:27:35):
a podcast geared to young men Have the Ball while
they were talking to him about his nicknames. Here's a
little bit of how that went.

Speaker 6 (01:27:47):
Pocahunches, Yes, what about and.

Speaker 5 (01:27:51):
There was Tampon Tim was good?

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
What about it is that I want Tampa Tim.

Speaker 6 (01:27:54):
It's hard to say yeah, a mouthful, yes, a lot yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:27:59):
And you can't stutter it through when you put the
names together.

Speaker 39 (01:28:04):
It's a little you gotta be able to pume. Here's
the thing with Walls. When men look at him, we
know he's not calm. Men know immediately if someone's uncomfortable,
especially another guy, and his frantic energy freaks us out.

Speaker 8 (01:28:20):
We don't want to.

Speaker 39 (01:28:20):
Be around another guy with that type of energy. We
can also tell he's not being honest because he's the
kind of guy that tiptoes around things and he's scared
to say what he really feels, and.

Speaker 3 (01:28:32):
We don't like people like that. We also like bosses.

Speaker 39 (01:28:35):
He's being bossed around, and we don't respect a guy
who's being bossed around. Now, Donald Trump's like an orchestra.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
Conductor with the media.

Speaker 39 (01:28:44):
Remember, I guess it was the apprentice daze. He was
into the tabloid and then he was in the NBC
and networks, and then he did the Fox and Friends
for a while and that elevated him. And then he
rode cable pretty hard, and he got into the White
House and.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
He did everything, and then he was banished after.

Speaker 39 (01:28:59):
January, was out in the wilderness in the media, and
he discovered these podcasts. And these podcast guys aren't even
news guys. They're guys that are like are like shots
a former president would come on their show.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
But he goes in and he's.

Speaker 39 (01:29:14):
Turning out these young men that aren't even news guys.

Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
They don't even follow the news.

Speaker 39 (01:29:20):
They just see this guy not as a politician but.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):

They're going to throw a huge party, and I think

That's Jesse Waters. Of course, it's brilliant when you think
about it. You know, disaffected young men who have been
told that, you know, being a manly man is the
wrong thing. And they there's been attempts to feminize them,
and and and their girlfriends are you know, liberals, and
and and they and they feel like they're the most
discriminated against group in America. And they probably aren't people

(01:29:56):
I'd never heard of.

Speaker 6 (01:29:57):
Yes podcast that they have amazing followings all among young men.
Elon Musk says that he's going to be doing Trump's
going to be doing Joe Rogan between now an election day.

Speaker 3 (01:30:07):
And what a brilliant nickname for Tim Wall's tampon? Tim Oh? Yeah,
what what the kind of a thing. I mean, even
if you don't know the whole whole thing about, you know,
the schools and him putting tampons in the in the
boys rooms in public schools in Minnesota, just the association
of that name with a male.

Speaker 6 (01:30:24):
Well, it's kind of clean rather than impregnated thee the
nanny while I was married, or it makes me slap women,
it makes my girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
It makes him sound feminine, which these these young men
are tired of being made to feel feminine. It's brilliant

What happened and why the top of the hour not
just another headline he's when you'll hear.

Speaker 3 (01:32:20):
What else on what's going on? Is happening? News Radio
seven KGRH. The Federalist has a very interesting article. Here's
the headline, Biden's DOJ threatens election offices, cleaning voter roles
maybe discriminatory. In other words, you can't discriminate against non
citizens by taking them off the voter rolls, even though

(01:32:41):
legally they're not allowed to vote. Does that make any sense?
Matt Kittle joins US senior election correspondent at the Federalist.
Are they really counting on that many non citizens voting? Democrat?

Speaker 14 (01:32:52):
Matt Kittle, Well, it seems to have been their plan
over the last nearly four years now. And you talk
about ballot harvesting, this is voter harvesting going on across
the country thanks to open border policies by Sleepy Joe.

Speaker 3 (01:33:09):
As the nickname may go.

Speaker 6 (01:33:12):
All you need is a name, and then you can
produce the ballot in that name. And that's a pretty
slick way to steal, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:33:20):
Yeah, Yeah, no doubt about it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:22):
I Mean that's what.

Speaker 14 (01:33:24):
The real problem here is that we have thousands upon
thousands we already know of non citizens foreign nationals on
the voter rolls, and when we were talking about what
we saw in twenty twenty, an election that was decided
so narrowly, it is a very significant concern. That's why

(01:33:47):
Republicans in Congress wanted to, you know, wanted to push
the Save Act, which would have required that everyone who
registers to vote has to show documentation of citizenship. Democrats
pushed back at every turn.

Speaker 3 (01:34:04):
You know. The beauty of this system too, is that
the people responsible for this, they never get punished because
the onus is on the person who's actually doing the voting,
the non citizen. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:34:14):
Absolutely, and it's an honor system, as we've talked about before.
So all you have to do is check a box
and affirm, so to speak, or a test that you
are a citizen.

Speaker 3 (01:34:26):
And eligible to vote.

Speaker 14 (01:34:27):
There's really no accountability for all of that, you know,
just like we see in politics.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
Texas claimed it's the roles of a million voters and
thousands of them were admitted illegal aliens, and of that
a certain percentage even said, oh no, they voted multiple times.
This is what's going on in Alabama right now. Thirty
five hundred people removed, and yet they're being sued by
the federal government because they are just enfranchising people, are

(01:34:55):
scaring people from their legitimate right to vote. Is that
is that what the argument is?

Speaker 14 (01:35:01):
That is the argument is that you have there's a
window of time that you can't make wholesale changes or
vast maintenance to these voter rolls. But what if you
find thirty five hundred non citizens on your voter rolls?

Speaker 3 (01:35:16):
What do you do? Then?

Speaker 14 (01:35:18):
Well, if you value voter integrity, you clean those voter rolls,
you remove those names from the list. But this has
yet another example of the weaponization of this Department of Justice.

Speaker 3 (01:35:32):
Yeah, the ends just to buy the means for these folks.
All right, Matt, thanks for joining us. True do you
appreciate it? Senior election correspondent with the Federals. That's Matt

Here's Sheriff Fryer Morning.

Speaker 6 (01:38:09):
Everyone, seven thirty two on news Radio seven forty k TRH.
Our top story this hour. New polling from Maris University
shows Texas Senator Ted Cruz as a five point lead
on Democrat challenger Colin Allred. Other polls, though, show a
closer race. Allard has already spent millions of dollars flooding
the airwaves across the state with TV AS. Is that

(01:38:30):
enough to flip the seat?

Speaker 3 (01:38:33):
In the end, Beto lost by two point six percent
to Cruz. I believe Cruz will.

Speaker 23 (01:38:38):
Win by a larger margin than that, but Kruz is
going to win by a smaller margin in Texas than
Trump does.

Speaker 6 (01:38:44):
GOP strategist there, Matt MCCOVEYAC you told KTRH Trump should
win Texas by about eight points, which will help carry
Cruz to a four point victory. Federal judge rules against
the state attorney general though ken Pax and returning to
state jurisdiction. The lawsuit again henince the Democrat run Travis
County over its shady mass mail outs of voter registrations

(01:39:06):
to anybody with a name or any address. Federal court says, well,
it doesn't have jurisdiction on this. There was a similar
lawsuit over the Bear County Democrats doing the same thing,
but it got dismissed by that state judge because they
secretly had already set out all the mailings before the
lawsuit was even filed. The Biden Harris Justice Department now

(01:39:29):
suing Alabama though for cleaning its voter rolls of non citizens.
The reason because it's less than ninety days to the election.

Speaker 14 (01:39:38):
They have found definitive evidence that there are non citizens
on these voter rolls. Those names should be removed from
that list. But yet you have the Biden administration, a
weaponized Department of Justice trying to stop the state of
Alabama from doing that.

Speaker 6 (01:39:53):
Yeah, that was the federalist Matt Kittle. He told us
that over thirty two hundred non citizens were removed from
the voter rolls in Alabama just last month. Too close
to the election, says the DOJ. It is now seven
thirty four, just in time for election day. The Biden
Harris regime considering guess what they're announcing yet another end

(01:40:14):
run on the Supreme Court a student loan bail out.

Speaker 24 (01:40:20):
Days after a federal judge halted the White House's latest
student debt forgiveness program, they plan to announce a new
one that will apply to nonprofit or government workers. Missouri
Attorney General Andrew Bailey tells Fox this is a constitutional crisis.

Speaker 25 (01:40:32):
You've got a chief executive in the White House and
his assistant, Tamala Harris, who.

Speaker 8 (01:40:37):
Don't care about the law.

Speaker 25 (01:40:38):
They're undermining the rule of law by trying to unconstitutionally
redistribute a half trillion dollars in debt and these student loans.

Speaker 24 (01:40:45):
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the Biden
Harris bailouts could cost taxpayers as much as one point
four trillion dollars. Cory Jolson, who's Radio seven forty ktrh meantime.

Speaker 6 (01:40:56):
You got some former CBS news staffers, you know, real
Journey tell Us reportedly now calling on that network to
launch an investigation into why did they edit last Sunday's
sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris to make her look
good and also to insert different answers than what she
actually gave. One unnamed former employee told the New York Post.

(01:41:19):
If they care about journalistic integrity, they would release the
full transcript of that interview so people can see how
it got doctored. Harris, who once tried to ban the
gun that she now claims she owns a block trying
to kiss up the gun owners, apparently ahead of this election.

Speaker 26 (01:41:36):
The Vice president says she has a glock, but it's
unclear what model and caliber.

Speaker 17 (01:41:41):
They're trying to be more relatable because it's right before
an election. Right after the election, they're going to start hollering, ban, ban, ban,
ban everything.

Speaker 26 (01:41:48):
David Ahmad with Open Carey Texas has one simple message
for those in power wanting to ban firearms, like Kamala Harris.

Speaker 17 (01:41:55):
I don't care what laws you pass. You're not getting
my guns, not any of them. And there's millions more
just like me, so come and take it.

Speaker 26 (01:42:04):
Kamala claims she wouldn't try to ban guns if elected,
but her previous stances disagree. Charre Lewis News Radio seven

Speaker 6 (01:42:13):
Six is our time. We've got more than two and
a half million people in Florida without power this morning
after Hurricane Milton. The death toll at seventeen. Texas did
send huge response. About one hundred state troopers volunteered to
be part of the recovery effort in Florida.

Speaker 27 (01:42:31):
What we deployed in such a short period of time
is one hundred and sixty nine patrol units, six Zodiac boats,
flatbed trailers, command trailers.

Speaker 6 (01:42:41):
Yeah, the state also sent in DPS vehicles as well
as helicopters. Here at home, we have two people dead,
about three dozen more injured. It was a leak of
a hydrogen sulfi gas at the PIMS plant in Deer
Park yesterday. And we told you earlier this week about
Walmart testing out a Sam's Club with no checkout lanes,

(01:43:04):
and you know, if it works, better start looking for
other supermarkets to try it. Gary Huddleston, the grocery consultant
for the Texas Retailers Association, says, look, it's just not
out of the room of possibility anymore.

Speaker 17 (01:43:17):
Grocery industry looks at any and all technology to better
customer service and to reduce costs, especially in this inflationary times.

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
Yeah, whatever they can do. But Amazon just closed several
of its Amazon Ghost stores which have no cashiers. Don't
know how well that works. It's a big weekend in
college football. Number one Texas playing Oklahoma and the Red
River rivalry kickoff in Dallas to thirty Rice hosts Ut

(01:43:50):
Texas Tech, they're all off. I'm Sherber Fryar on news
radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
The blue Wall, the infamous blue Wall, might be crumbling down.
Trump's leading in Pennsylvania, He's leading in Wisconsin, He's leading
in Michigan. He's leading just about everywhere except for maybe Nevada,
where it's too close to.

Speaker 6 (01:44:09):
Goal according to his internal polls.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
Yep, yep. So he's in pretty good shape as it
relates to that. So why are the blue walls crumbling down?
Greg Guttfeld and the folks on the five so are
talking about that.

Speaker 40 (01:44:20):
I do think that you're seeing evidence of the media
slowly turning on Harris because not of her politics or
her lack of policies.

Speaker 3 (01:44:31):
It's that she appears to be losing.

Speaker 40 (01:44:33):
So it's like that's a different kind of political analysis.
It's not like they're equally critical of Trump and Harris.
When they criticize Trump, it's because they want him to lose.
When they criticize Harris, it's because she's losing.

Speaker 3 (01:44:46):
They don't want it.

Speaker 40 (01:44:47):
It's weird, though, you aren't seeing Republicans becoming Democrats, but
you're seeing a lot of the reverse. You know, Hispanics, Blacks,
young people, and it's because they realize they've been lied
to so much about bigger issues. They've been manipulated, whether
it was Russian collusion, find people hosts drinking bleached Hunter's laptop.
I think they realized that their side and they're going
to find out everybody lies, but right now they are

(01:45:10):
finding out that their side lies.

Speaker 3 (01:45:13):
Pretty soon. That's the first level of.

Speaker 40 (01:45:14):
Awareness, and then when you get out of there, you're
going to see, wow, everybody lies about everything, and then
you're going.

Speaker 3 (01:45:20):
To be free. That's a true based red pill.

Speaker 40 (01:45:24):
But if you look at what the Democrats focus on,
it's removed from real life. You know, parents concerned about transactivism,
they always side with the activists. They're concerned about men
identifying as women in women's sports, they side with the
perverted grifters. When citizens are concerned about gas and food prices,
they say.

Speaker 3 (01:45:44):
It doesn't exist.

Speaker 40 (01:45:44):
Remember that they said there's no inflation, and when they're
concerned about crime, they say it's going down. So if
you look at the two parties, you have one that
is living in some fantasy land and another one that
is almost obsessed.

Speaker 3 (01:45:58):
With reality to a fall.

Speaker 40 (01:46:00):
Republicans are obsessed, like obsessed with reality, crime, immigration, inflation,
that's as real as life.

Speaker 3 (01:46:07):
Guess you know what strikes me to is if the
political party or political candidate in particular lies to you
all the time, how how often or how long does
it take before you assume everything you're being told is
a lie? Before that's the natural instinct that kicks in, Well,
that's got to be a lie.

Speaker 6 (01:46:26):
So there's an awful lot of this country he still
doesn't believe. You know, the Russia hoax was proven to
be a lie. They still believe that. They still throw
it out. They still believe all these things that Trump
allegedly said, taken out of context, Charlottesville, that sort of.

Speaker 3 (01:46:41):
So what you want to believe still.

Speaker 6 (01:46:42):
Trump's the one too. Some people don't want to.

Speaker 3 (01:46:44):
So what you want to believe still Trump's the truth.

Speaker 6 (01:46:47):
In your face. A lot of people who can't admit, Gee,
was I ever wrong?

Speaker 3 (01:46:50):
Yeah? Yeah, people don't like admitting the wrong, do they?

nothing around here. Yeah, just lots of sunshine and heat,

nineties Tuesday. But it's Wednesday when that dryer, slightly cooler

Speaker 8 (01:50:58):
Next on the.

Speaker 3 (01:50:59):
Ten governorn descent. Has got asked about a Wall Street
estimate fifty billion dollars in damage in Florida, and he
was not having any of that.

Speaker 8 (01:51:10):
How the hell would a.

Speaker 41 (01:51:11):
Wall Street analysts be able to know it's been dark
all day? What you're just gonna know that you're gonna do?
I mean, like give me a break on some of
this stuff that they're doing damage assessments.

Speaker 3 (01:51:20):
Now they always say this or that or whatever.

Speaker 41 (01:51:23):
I mean, what I would say is what I said
in the original talkers. We had certain worst case scenarios
in terms of going into Tampa Bay, a lot of
places in Penelas County, and they had negative storm surge
because it sucked the water out of the bay. So
in terms of all that where you'd see the entire

(01:51:43):
Tampa Bay area underwater, that did not happen the storm surge,
and it was most acute in Sarasota, and I think
it was a little bit more than Sarasota got for Helene,
but it wasn't like so much more. I think was
eight to ten feet. Helene of course got almost to
twenty Taylor County, and then I think the fact that
the storm weakened I think most of I mean, I'm

(01:52:06):
not saying there's not going to be damaged. There will
be a cut across the state in a way that
Helene did not, But in terms of just right now
the morning after, if I think back to like Hurricane Ian,
I don't think that you're looking at a similar amount
of damage to Ian, and then with Helene there may
end up being more overall damage. There may not, I

(01:52:27):
don't know, but definitely the surge did not reach Helene levels.
I mean, Helene was producing major surge all across the
west coast of Florida, and then in the Big Ben
it was just a biblical that was not necessarily what
we happened here. Anything north of the storm had minimal
surge on the west coast, and it was really kind

(01:52:48):
of that Sarasota, Charlotte Harbor down into Lee Collier. But
compared to what they had with Hurricane Ian, that is
not on the same level.

Speaker 3 (01:52:58):
So we'll see.

Speaker 41 (01:52:59):
There'll be a lot more that that will need to
be done to assess the extent and the damage. But
what I think we can say is, you know, we
have a lot of resources in play here in Florida
to be able to mitigate and get people back on
their feet and get.

Speaker 8 (01:53:13):
Governor, governor.

Speaker 5 (01:53:14):
