(02:59):
oh three. Texas Secretary of State raising a firestone last
week when she instructed election workers here to allow non
citizen temporary driver's licenses as valid voter ID.

Speaker 10 (03:15):
We want people who've legally gone through the naturalization process
and become citizens to be encouraged to vote and to
have that opportunity. But if you're not a citizen, that's
against the law.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
It's all in the wording, isn't it that was a
Harris County GOP chair Cindy Siegel. The advisory was updated
on Friday. It now requires additional proof of citizenship you
have to provide if you're using a non citizen driver's
license for your ID, or even a temporary one issued.
A group of three Republicans running on in Southeast Texas

(03:53):
are judicial races here. They're teaming up to try to
win spots on the fourteenth Court of Appeals, which covers
Harris and ten Texas counties.

Speaker 11 (04:03):
The three include Maritza Onto, who lost her twenty twenty
two race by just twenty one thousand votes. Holly Hanson
with the Texans says the fourteenth Quarter of Appeals has
not run smoothly.

Speaker 12 (04:14):
The candidates say they will be more efficient and more
mindful of public safety in processing these cases.

Speaker 11 (04:20):
And the Democrats they're running against the reputations of being
soft on crime.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Is now five oh five, election day three weeks away.
Political writer Steve McCann agrees with the lawn musk. If
the Democrats win, this might be America's last election.

Speaker 13 (04:50):
What Americans don't understand is to say get re elected
massively in twenty twenty four, they're going to be setting
in a situation to diminish an impact of the white
We're never we're going to have another open, free election
in this country.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
He says that was the purpose, the plan of opening
the border, but knows it's looking pretty good right now
with Donald Trump. Latest NBC newspole kind of wipes that
up too. Trump has wiped out the Kamala Harris lead
of five points. They claim the race is now a
dead heat, Trump leading by one point. This is the
national poll if you add in third party candidates. Liberal

(05:27):
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whittmer has had to apologize for her
viral video in which she mocks Christian commute in Union
by feeding Doritos to a podcaster on her knees. Kamala
Harris says Dorito's are her favorite stack remember. In a statement,
Whitmer said, quote, I would never do something to denigrate

(05:48):
someone's faith. It is now five oh six. More than
four hundred thousand Floridians without power after Hurricane Milton. There
the death toll in that storm at least twenty three now.
Joe Biden in Florida on Sunday looking a damage from
the storm and spreading his lies.

Speaker 14 (06:05):
But I know from experience how devastated is to lose
your home. Several years ago, my home was struck by lightning.
It didn't all burn down with the route of the
home for seven months.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
No, Actually it was a small kitchen fire that was
put out within twenty minutes. He just continues to maintain
how devastating it was. Tens of thousands remain without power
from Hurricane Helene, though, that is the big hurricane, impacting
six states, including Florida and the Carolina's North Carolina western part.

(06:36):
Really devastated. That happened three weeks ago. The death toll
at two hundred and thirty plus. They're begging for body bags.
They haven't recovered all the missing people, an unknown number
of whom are missing still from that devastating Helene. Parking
revenue for Houston Airports at an all time high post COVID,

(06:57):
So where does that revenue go anyway.

Speaker 15 (07:00):
They've made over one hundred million so far, and the
economy plays a role.

Speaker 16 (07:04):
Parking prices have gone up since twenty twenty two. If
you had just for inflation, for them to be on
track with twenty nineteen, have to earn one hundred and
thirty four million dollars and they're already at one hundred
and twenty six million.

Speaker 15 (07:15):
Economist thank Lewis, as part of it goes to the city,
which should go back into the airports. But with appointments
of former Sylvester Turner employees to the system, that's questionable.

Speaker 16 (07:24):
Very blatant since the last administration. How does this mand
win in the current administration is unfortunately dealing with the
fallout of.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
It, He says.

News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Defense, National Headlines, Houston's Morning News with Jimmy part and
Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
All right, good morning to you, Bob France, sitting in
for Jimmy on this Monday. This celebration of the discovery
of the New World. Yes, that's what it led to.
We celebrate and have in this country for a very
very long time, the voyage of Christopher Columbus, who helped
well discover literally where we are now. Did he land

(08:29):
on North America? We all know the story by now,
but I am just here to say to you, Happy
Christopher Columbus Day. Christopher Columbus is an extraordinary figure in
world not American world history. And as much as the
Left wants to try to cancel this day for you,
and they have changed it, or tried to change it

(08:50):
or added to it to make it Indigenous persons day,
those of us with an ounce of common sense and
at least an elementary school edgeation certainly recognize and understand
the importance of Christopher Columbus, who is an absolute giant
among men during his time, an absolute giant. What he
did was extraordinary, and it's the reason why we have

(09:14):
settled what we have settled, And is everything perfect with
every single part of the Columbus story. No, just like
it isn't with the human story, the American story. But
it is Columbus Day, twenty twenty four, and I don't
want anybody to ever forget that, So I want to
start out with that. We're going to talk a little
bit about that sort of thing today, and as long
as we're talking about matters of race, which is what

(09:36):
that is. I just saw something a half an hour
ago that I never thought I would see. When you
talk about people cranking up their outrage meter and over
sensitivity meter to like a level of a one thousand,
you can find offensiveness in everything. And now the poor

(09:56):
people at bed bath and not bad bathroom beyond BA
Bath and Bodyworks are finding that out.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Now.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
They can't even put out a Christmas candle without somebody
getting mad. I'm going to share this with you on
my Twitter feed, and I'm going to ask you to
look at it yourself, and then we'll talk about it.
We'll come when we come back after trafficking weather. But
I'm going to put it on my Twitter feeding and
follow me on Twitter at strictly speaking with Bob France.
Just look for strict speaking at strict speaking and tell

(10:23):
me what you think of the new Christmas candle that
bath and body Works is not allowed to display and
we'll discuss why. All right, five ten, So let's get
our days started off on the right. Cow Oh, sorry, Mike,
as that's what that means.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Hey, Bob, did you ever play Did you ever play
Cowboys and Native Americans when you were a kid?

Speaker 5 (10:42):
No, we did the Indian thing.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yeah, okay, all right, it's okay to say the IE word.
I was just making sure because I had a lot
of fun with that Happy Columbus Day my hometown.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
My hometown got rid of the I word.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
That's the stupidest thing I ever heard too.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Now they're in the American League Championship.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Let's you know what, put your hard hat on here
and we're gonna go to the hard work in east Side.
Let's check out Ien my bellevue. If you want to
get your butt kicked in football, play barber Seeal. This

Scott, Mike and Terry Smith at the Weather Channel with
us this morning with a look at some record highs.

Speaker 17 (11:55):
Maybe hey Terry, Yeah, it is like summertime here in
southeast Texas. Fortunately it won't last past tomorrow. It's going
to be a hot day today. We're talking temperatures Loan
nineties to near one hundred and our records at our
two big airports ninety two and ninety three degrees. I

(12:17):
think we will be seeing those records broken and tomorrow
in the load to upper nineties, so similar situation tomorrow.
There is a cold front though, that makes its way
into southeast Texas tomorrow night, so that by Wednesday it
is so much cooler, like twenty to twenty five degrees
cooler Wednesday and Thursday, mid toupper seventies. Friday is a

(12:38):
little bit warmer, but more like October in the load
to mid eighties Friday.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
All right, Terry Smith, thank you.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Right now, we're at seventy four at your official severe
weather station is Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Ninety nine one HT two. It's News Radio seven forty
KTRH on FM. It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you
by New South Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and
Sherrah with the info you need to take on the day.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Okay, Bob France in for Jimmy. It's five nineteen, So
I got it done. I wanted to do it in time.
Like I said, about a half an hour ago, I
stumbled across this story.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
It's just it's almost Halloween.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
But of course, you know, Christmas decorations and Christmas themed
things start coming out in September.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Now, it's strange, but it is what it.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Is, so Bath and body Works has a new scented
candle and they're pushing out it's called snowed In. That's
the new scented candle. That's one of the new Christmas
designs that they're pushing out there. And on the label
of the snowed in candle, you know, on the candle
is the top portion of a cutout paper snowflake. You know,

(13:44):
remember when you were in elementary school, we all used
to have to do that. You'd fold up a piece
of paper and then cut out little triangles and circles
and squares all through it, and then when you unfold it, it's.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Oh, it's a beautiful snowflake. It's just kid, what you do.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
That's what they have, except that somebody in the outrage
mob decided it the tops of those snowflakes look like
KKK hoods, and so now bat Then Bodyworks had to
remove the candle, remove the ad, and issue an apology
for promoting the ku Klux Klan. And as a matter

(14:18):
of fact, it has now been dubbed a clandle. The
candle has been dubbed a clandle. It's one it's one
of these things where when you when you first look
at it, it looks like what it is. It's a
paper snowflake. It's when it melts in what's that? But
when it melts, what does it look like?

Speaker 5 (14:40):
I don't think. I don't know if melting has anything
to do with it.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
It is just what people see in the eyes of
a candle. If you light it, it's gonna melt.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, well no, no, it's it's the label. The label
isn't going to change. Yeah. Look, the best way to
do a chair is is to look at it. And
this is why I posted I got it done during
the break there. Take a look at my Twitter page.
Follow me there if you would like at strictly Speaking
with Bob France or just look for strict Speaking specifically
as the ad handle. You'll see the picture. Once you

(15:08):
see it, like I said, you'd see a snowflake. But
once you hear that somebody called it clan hoods now
you can't unsee it with your eyes because it looks
like that.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
But it's just unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
People are always looking for something to be outraged about,
and now a company that had nothing but innocent intentions
of pushing out a candle called snowed in.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
It's Christmas time, yay.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Have to issue an apology for pushing out something that
looks like a clan hood. It's it's really bizarre. It's
also on my Facebook page. I've put it there as well.
Why not follow me on Facebook? Two again, look for
strictly speaking, look for my name, Bob France. You'll find
it all right, five twenty two, A little light there.
Let's get to Sky.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Mich I still want to play cowboys in Native Americans,
Bob France. I always dressed up when I was a kid.
You know, if I were in the village people, that's
what I would be. But I don't really qualify for
the village people. Let's go to the North Freeway outbound
Parker Road. Something scots it up. What in the world
is that? Just a little bit of a slowdown on
the outbound side, but it's it's showing me a hard
front door here. So let me get you some laneage

(16:09):

We've gone from illegal alien to illegal immigrant, to undocumented
immigrant to.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
Uh, what's the other one? New arrivals I think was one.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, and then there was asylum seeker and now they're
day laborers.

Speaker 12 (18:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
See, we've had a long history here in Texas and
people coming across the border to work and then going
back home to Mexico. We've had day laborers, but not
people working in the interior of the country and threatening
the guilder bosses, you know, and living here.

Speaker 18 (18:31):
Yeah, right, well, and how about just.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
The scores of them they're living in uh, you know,
uh Skyrise hotels in New York City.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
I mean, we don't. We don't call them migrants either,
I mean the country does, and even Trump calls them migrants,
but they're illegal aliens.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Yeah. Well, if we're being honest with ourselves.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
Alien by the people who were in charge right now.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, and the word alien is it's in the US
Code for crying, not a loud it is literally, it's
in advirtually every document. So, uhl aliens are now day laborers. Okay,
that's interesting. Well what about the day laborers whose labor
is to go out and commit.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Crimes and to exactly and to harm people.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yesterday, Vice presidential candidate JD Vance had a little appearance
with ABC's Martha Raddits, and Martha Raddits was trying to
tell him how we're so overblowing the story about Venezuelan
gang day laborers taking over parts of Aurora, Colorado. I mean,
come on, it's only a few apartment complexes listened to this.

Speaker 8 (19:31):
The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment conflex
apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers
have acted on those concerns. A handful of problems.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?

Speaker 19 (19:48):
Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken
over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem
and not Kamala Harris's open border. Americans are so fed
up with what's going on going on and then.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Mean, he's right, do you hear yourself?

Speaker 3 (20:03):
You are excusing and explaining away complex is I don't
know how many dozens of apartments or hundreds of apartments
we're talking about taken over where American citizens live by
Venezuelan gangs. Not day laborers, not mark migrant farm workers,
not home depot, you know, gatherers. You're talking about dangerous gangs.

(20:29):
And it's only a handful of complexes that have been
taken over.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
No big deal. The excuses that.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
They will make for this administration, they know no bounds whatsoever.
We'll come back to that story, along with so many
others as we are going this morning, as it is
now five point twenty seven. However, let's talk about money

story this hour. Donald Trump wrapping up his West Coast
swing yesterday, and he started with a promise to keep
America safe from illegal alien criminals.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
I will invoke in.

Speaker 23 (23:27):
The Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight to target
and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
He called his plans to clean out cartel and gang
crime Operation Aurora, named after that city in Colorado overrun
by members of the violent Venezuelan gang trendat Day Laborers, Yeah,
the Day Laborers trend Ragua. In his Arizona rally last night,
Trump proposed hiring ten thousand new border patrol agents, giving

(23:57):
them a ten thousand dollars retention and signing bonuses. Raised
and arrest of an Afghany man he who was plotting
an election day terrorist attack in the US has raised
major concerns about the vetting of illegal aliens. Former DHS
senior advisor Charles Marino told Fox this man who had
worked as an interpreter for the CIA, was allowed into

(24:20):
our country just weeks after the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Speaker 24 (24:24):
We've got people exploiting the system because this is a
rush to process. This is a rush by this administration
based on their politics, to quickly change the demographics of
this country, despite what it does to our overall national security.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
Yeah, House Homeland Security Committee rapport details fifty different cases
of Islamic terrorism across twenty nine states, including Texas since
twenty twenty one. Illegal aliens aren't just crossing our southern
border either. They're coming in from the north in record numbers.

Speaker 25 (24:58):
Shara, It's something that former Gration judge Andrew Arthur has

vote right now. In twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton had ninety
two percent of that same demographic. Joe Biden did too.
In twenty twenty. Harris's running made Tim Walls claims to

This is the result of ideologically driven mismanagement from agency leadership.

know how to run these agencies.

Speaker 31 (27:57):
Former FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gillham says lack of Congressional
oversight is also a big part of the problem.

Speaker 32 (28:03):
All these different politicians they fund these agencies, but nobody
actually sits back and has accountability for what they're doing
with the money.

All right, is it my turn?

Speaker 6 (29:21):
Okay, yes it is.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah, Sorry about that. For some reason, I was expecting
a rejoiner there. Okay, So to one of the stories
there that you just covered in the news. Here sha
black voters. This is getting to be so embarrassing for
the Harris administer or for the you know, well, it
is the Harris administration, but for the Harris campaign. Is
what I mean to say? We are not voting for Kamala.

(29:42):
Blackmail voters are all over the internet, particularly on TikTok
and on Instagram reels, and they're recording themselves saying we
are not your slaves, Barack Obama, we are not your
yours to control. Barack Obama, of course, was deployed in
the the latest example of a desperate campaign last week

(30:03):
to start appealing to African American voters. He in fact,
has gone out there and told them you owe it
to her because she's like us, She's down with the struggle.
That's barely a paraphrase of what he said. She has
gone through the same things you have. She knows you,
She understands you. She knows the struggles and the joys

(30:24):
of what it's like to live our experience. Literal, blatant
race card deployed. And they don't like it. African American
voters don't like it. They're responding in droves saying, who
do you think you are to tell us what we
have to think that because our skin color is similar
to hers and yours, we all have to think the

(30:44):
same way. We all have to make the same decisions.
It is the most blatant form of racism to assume
that somebody has an attitude or an idea, or a
belief or a feeling or what have you, simply because
of what they look like. And this is literally black
on black racism with Obama, or at least half black
on black racism, because he's half black and he wasn't
even acknowledge his white part. But the reality is they

(31:07):
are livid. And this is why the New York Times
report that Shara just talked about showing she's in deep,
deep trouble compared to not only what Hillary Clinton was
getting in twenty sixteen at this point in the campaign,
but also to what Joe Biden got Joe Biden in
twenty twenty. Regardless what you believe about the election and

(31:27):
if you believe there were problems with it and that
it maybe was not on the up and up, and
I'm one of those, but regardless, the numbers show that
he got ninety two percent of the Black vote and
Kamala Harris sitting at eighty four percent, being six or
I'm sorry, eight points underneath. That means disaster for the
Harris campaign. And so that's why they deployed Barack Obama

(31:48):
and also the man that they once referred to as
the first Black president, Bill Clinton. He was also deployed
over the weekend to go out there and beg and
plead with African American voters to support common Mala Harris.
Why because she looks like them. It is very very
very very disturbing to be to be blunt. Okay five

Speaker 5 (37:18):
Okay five fifty two.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Now, so let's get back to some of the surveys
and the numbers and see exactly what it looks like
this election is shaping up to be. We talked about
black voters in twenty sixteen. Hillary Clinton got well at
this point in the race. She had ninety two percent
of the black vote. Joe Biden ended up getting ninety
two percent of the Black vote. Kamala Harris right now
is sitting at eighty four percent support in some polls,

(37:41):
seventy eight percent in others, way way below where she
would need to be. But it's not just Black voters.
Let's pivot now and look at the Hispanic vote. Latino
voters want nothing to do with her either. At least
according to the most recent numbers, Vice President Kamala Harris
trailing the past three Democrat candidates for the White House

(38:02):
among Latino voters as Trump builds support among this critical group.
The survey conducted by the New York Times, So this
is not a push poll, it's not a Fox poll.
This is a New York Times Sana College poll says
Harris has slipped into low territory for Democrats, with no
sign of reversing the slide anytime soon. And remember we're
just three weeks away from the election. The Hill noted

(38:24):
in twenty sixteen, sixty eight percent of Latino voters back
to the Democrat nominee, which of course was Hillary That
dropped to sixty two percent in twenty twenty with Joe Biden.
Kamala Harris is sitting at fifty six percent, a little
over half of Latino voters say there for Kamala Harris. Meanwhile,
the Republican Party has gained support over time. In twenty sixteen,

(38:47):
Trump earned twenty eight percent of the Latino vote. In
twenty twenty, he had thirty six percent of that and
as of the most recent survey he has thirty seven percent,
so he is inching up. But most importantly, Kamala Harris
is dropping way way down below Democrat norms when it
comes to Latino votes. So either they're going to vote

(39:08):
for Donald Trump or they're going to sit this thing
out share. I think that you look at the black
and Latino vote. Not to mention obviously males, Kamala Harris
and the campaign that she is running is proving to
be desperate. They're in desperation stages right now, which is
why I think they deployed Barack out there to play
the race card and said hey, brothers, literally speaking to

(39:30):
black males, saying, hey, brothers, where are you? How come
you're not out there for her? Because we need you
to be out there for her. After all, she looks like.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
You just wish. Some of the African American males replied,
you ain't my daddy, Obama. I love that one, you know,
And I love the banner I saw that was Black
Lives Maga.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
I did not see that one, but I love that
one too. But here's an example of what you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Sorry, Obama.

Speaker 33 (39:55):
I'm a black man and I'm voting for Donald Trump
for president. And there is no amount of luck, ring,
or bullying or saving that you can do that is
going to make me change that decision. I am not
afraid to vote for Kamala Harris because she is a woman.
I refuse to vote for Kamala Harris because she has
spent the last four years destroying this country.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
So and these are black males who are you know,
they're tired of it. They're tired of being taken for granted.
They're tired of being told that we are nothing but
a rubber stamp for you know, a black candidate or
a person of color or whatever you want to call
Kamala Airs or just quite frankly Shara for the Democrat Party.
They didn't like it anymore when when you know, Joe
Biden was on the ticket. They didn't like it when
Hillary Clinton was on the ticket either. You know, they

(40:34):
ended up getting those candidates, ended up getting ninety two
percent of the vote. But they're tired of being taken,
granted up, granted, taken for granted rather because quite obviously
the Democrat Party does not see them as unique individual thinkers,
and they think they can just tell them, hey, remember
look where we are. We're the ones who give you
free stuff. It is embarrassing and they're tired of it.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
Ellen overwhelmingly males in general are tired of the Democrats.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Yes, that that is very true as well. So yeah,
this is this is shaping up very very badly right
now for Kamala Harrison. When you've got Barack out there
playing the race card, you can tell exactly how desperate
they are. We've got a lot more on that on
the election coming up as well. In our number two.

Speaker 10 (44:22):
Our concern is that there will be a lot of
non citizens that will use this license as a means
for voting.

in Dallas County, to overwhelm for more Republican rural voters
or suburban voters in the state of Texas.

Speaker 6 (45:35):
Yeah, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals covers ten counties surrounding
Harris County, including Brazoria chambers in Galveston. This is a

Speaker 13 (46:34):
Americans, please wake up right now. The election looks better
all the time for Trump, but if he doesn't, when

she was handed the Democrat nomination when they stuck Joe

for her, whether she's on CBS, ABC or Howard Stern

Speaker 5 (50:45):
But nonetheless, she has refused.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
To do any critical interviews with any critical networks or
a press conference that just has a pool of reporters
that may have difficult questions for her. And she had
the temerity the HOOTZPA to say this at a rally
over the weekend.

Speaker 6 (51:01):
Why does his sad want him to hide away?

Speaker 1 (51:08):
One last question? One last question?

Speaker 36 (51:11):
Are they afraid that people will see that he is
too weak and unstable?

Speaker 3 (51:22):
The woman who told us for the last three and
a half years that Joe Biden was strong and vibrant,
who then got the job as nominee because he was old, frail,
and cognitively declining, says that Donald Trump is being hidden
away because he's too weak and unstable to lead here.

Speaker 6 (51:44):
Well, your mainstream media is trying to hide him away.
They don't bother to cover him half the time.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
This is a This is an extraordinary comment from a
woman who is literally afraid to be seen.

Speaker 6 (51:55):
Jill lives and never never land that they all do.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's brutal. Okay, six ten, let's
get trafficking weather going once again. Here is Skoylake.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
Hey, we've got golf freeway still messed up, and I
see the backups are getting worse. Now. This is a
wreck at Scott Street. Hopefully everybody's okay. It's taking up
three lanes right as you get into downtown on the
main lanes. I've got brakes from wayside if you can
skip over to two eighty eight. Two eighty eight for
some reason, is not scooched up. So I'm wondering who's
listening this morning. But we're losing twenty minutes on the Gulf.

(52:27):
Do two eighty eight if your hazardous jump on six
to ten Southwest Freeway northbound. Two separate recks. Let me see,
are they still there? We are inbound right at the
west Loop six y ten and we're looking at the
ramp problem. Looks like they've cleared the main lane problem. Yep, nope,
Now they're taking all lanes. I think it's that deal
where they try to clear it up and make it

(52:47):
safe for the ninjas. But we're backed up from fondering
Southwest Freeway. Let's do the Kadie Katie. Looks good. It's
going from Graham Parkway into the President's Heads. I'm SKYMIKEE
on the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 5 (53:07):
All right, sorry about that. We had a little meat
button there pushed.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
Terry Smith has our forecast for us with very warm
temperatures for this time of year.

Speaker 5 (53:15):
Isn't it, Terry?

Speaker 18 (53:16):
Extremely warm?

Speaker 17 (53:17):
Like there may be a few places that make it
up to one hundred decrease today here in October. Obviously,
with that kind of heat, we're talking about the possibility
of some record hot temperatures today. I think both our
airports will set new records, and the one at Hobby
ninety three is the record at Hobby that goes back

(53:39):
to nineteen fifty four, so that's a long time record there,
so record he possible today and tomorrow, and then a
big drop in temperature, a welcome change of pace. Finally,
low nineties to near one hundred today, low to upper
nineties tomorrow, a dose of fall Wednesday and Thursday, high
temperatures in the mid to upper seventy.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Oh righty, thank you, Terry. And right now seventy three
it's your official severe weather station. It's news Radio seven
forty krh USE Traffic and weather.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
You're starting your day right with Houston's Morning News, brought
to you by New South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Trying to figure out how these two things can be
said by the same person.

Speaker 6 (54:20):
Man is ready for a new way forward.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
That was said over the weekend by Kamala Harris, and
then I think this was Wouich. You have done something
differently than President Biden during the past four years.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
There is not a thing that comes to mind that
was also Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
I'm trying to figure that out, just you know, and
we all have to figure it out three weeks from tomorrow,
unless you're early voting.

Speaker 5 (54:45):
Three weeks from Tomorrow's one we have to figure that out.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
How can the same person calling for a new way
forward say that, would you change anything you've already done? No,
I wouldn't change anything. What are we doing? Are we
keeping the status quo? Or were we new way forward?
We'll talk more about that in a bit. We're also
going to talk about judicial races in Harris County.

Speaker 5 (55:03):
That's coming up in a minute as well.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Let's do trafficking weather or now at six twenty skylight
that means, you.

Speaker 4 (55:07):
Man, we got problems going in and out from the
south side. So Golf Freeway northbound Scott Street coming into
downtown direct three left lanes block. That's a lot of
hoobistanchory from grieg. So let's avoid the golf inside the loop.
If you could do two eighty eight inbound, you're great.
If you're going outbound, you got a whole new set
of problems here. Highway six that's erect taking up two

(55:28):
right lanes on the southbound here. But two eighty eight
is still a good alternate to the golf freeway. If
you're hazardous, Terry, you got I keep talking to Terry.
If your hazardous jump on the six ' ten loop
instead southwest Freeway northbound at South Rice. That accident has
us all closed down here. Hopefully everybody's okay. But look
at that. That's a forty four minute delay now from

(55:49):
just outside the Beltway. So let's jump on the Katie Freeway.
Katie so far is still actually not so bad. Some
brakes as you hit downtown from Studemont. We'll check your
ship channel bridges at the sixth in the classic Buick
GMC traffic center.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
All right, thank you very much. Good sir. Terry's forecast.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
Looking at record highs today or approaching them anyway, not
sure if we're going to get there.

Speaker 5 (56:09):
Some places coods one hundred degrees.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Highs in the upper nineties in the area, and tonight
down to sixty nine, tomorrow back up into the mid
nineties again and then a little bit more normal for
the time of year, temperatures in the mid seventies on
Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, maybe back into the low eighties,
but nothing like we're talking about today. Right now seventy
three at your official severe weather station is Radio seven

When we say what happens next, happens here, breaking news,
this is justin your guests.

Speaker 1 (57:25):

Speaker 26 (57:26):
What happens next?

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Man on News.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Radio seventy KTRH Okay six twenty three Now again Pop
France and for Jimmy along with Chera, we've been focusing
on the presidential race. Obviously, senate races are huge in
Texas and around the country, but judicial races can be
just as important. In joining us now to talk about
some very important appellate seats that are open in the
southeastern Texas region.

Speaker 5 (57:49):
Holly Hansome, reporter for the Text, and Holly, good morning.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
So let's talk a little bit about this tell us
about the state control of state appellate courts with jurisdiction
over this region.

Speaker 12 (58:02):
Yeah, so you were talking about looking for change this
election season. There's a slew of Republican candidates and some
big donors who would like to see some change in
these appellate courts. And what's happening is you have the
First and fourteenth Course of Appeals that are centered in Houston,
but they cover a ten county region and they hear

(58:22):
appeals for every case criminal, civil, family, juvenile. So if
you have any contact with the court system, there's a
good chance that you're going to have contact with these
appeals courts. The problem is, or the criticism is that
they've been pretty slow to turn around appeals. Some of
the appeals have languished in that court for five years

(58:44):
or more without a resolution. And some of these judges
are part of that Beto wave that's more criminal justice
reform minded and a little more lenient on repeat offenders
being released on bond and so forth. Some of these
Republicans have united together to create a front facing campaign.

(59:05):
There are three ladies, Judge Marisa and To or former
judge I should say, defense attorney Tanya McLaughlin and civil
attorney Katie Botman. They've unveiled a joint website and advertising
campaign that features Jim Mackrismack Macking veil and they're running
hard for these seas well.

Speaker 6 (59:26):
Liking judges has always been a problem because they're not
known as people, and the problem has always been who
are they, what do they stand for? And it makes
a difference when they band together like this and pool
their resources as well as their endorsements.

Speaker 12 (59:46):
That's a great point share because few people pay attention
to this. They're all paying attention to the presidential races
they should, or the Senate's race, but these are really
important races. They have a direct impact on a lot
of lives. And so you've got the three gals. It's
a pretty neat ad that they've put out there, and
they've got some big financial backers that aren't funding them directly.

(01:00:08):
But the Judicial Fairness Pack raised eight million dollars in
the last quarter. Some of those donations came from Elon
Musk and other big donors, some big companies each donated
a million dollars because there's a lot of concern about
how the court system is working in the state of Texas.

Speaker 6 (01:00:27):
And I was used too. I always thought the Fourteenth
Court was largely civil cases, and you know, to learn
that it's also criminal cases. When did that come about it? Because
we've got a criminal Court of Appeals.

Speaker 12 (01:00:39):
Well, so there's actually three levels. So you have your
local state district courts and then any appeals go to
these appeals courts and Harris County, that Houston region is
so big that there's actually two courts of appeals, but
they completely overlap and they do hear every single appeal.

(01:00:59):
The counties are kind of this southeast region, and then
above them is the Court of Criminal Appeals and the
Supreme Court of Texas. But those two top courts only
hear about ten percent of cases. They don't take up
every case that gets the appeal to them, and so
these appeals courts are kind of the last word in

(01:01:22):
most cases.

Speaker 6 (01:01:25):
Pretty important.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Then it is indeed that, yeah, these are things that
share I think you said it very well too. Judges
aren't usually regarded as people to persons. It's a strange
phenomenon in elections.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Bow Well, and.

Speaker 6 (01:01:37):
There's so many judge ships. I mean, you go down
the ballot and he's like, who are all these people?
Because they don't have the resources in order to be
able to mount the campaigns and they can't get the
attention and the TV time and all of that. And
straight party ticket voting is out now in Texas, so
you have to go through one by one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
You have to, and that takes some effort that a
lot of voters don't want to put forth that effort unfortunately,
but really important information. One thing they can do is
read the article by Holly Hansen and the text and Holly,
thanks so much for the time.

Speaker 5 (01:02:05):
Great stuff. We appreciate it.

Speaker 12 (01:02:07):
You've got thanks for having me on.

Shara, Good morning everyone, is now six thirty two on
news radio seven forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (01:04:22):
Upon taking office, we will have an Operation Aurora at
the federal.

Speaker 6 (01:04:27):
Level across the entire country, he said. Donald Trump announcing
his plan to stop the violent illegal alien criminals, the
gangs in particular, like those in Trende, Aragua, from terrorizing
Americans in their very own homes and neighborhoods. He would invoke,
he said, the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight
to target and dismantle those violent gangs and their members.

(01:04:52):
Trump's running made J. D. Vance meantime calling out the
liberal liberal commentator who claimed that the gang only took
over a handful of apartment complexes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Do you hear yourself?

Speaker 19 (01:05:04):
Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken
over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem
and not Kamala Harris's open border.

Speaker 6 (01:05:13):
He was talking to Martha Raddis to ABC Vance on
ABC this Week. Our open border is why radical Islamic
terrorism remains the big threat, bigger than ever to America.

Speaker 37 (01:05:26):
The Householeland Security Committee has released a report showing more
than fifty cases of Islamic terrorism in twenty nine states,
including Texas, just in the past three years. Former Homeland
Security Advisor Charles Marine hotels, Fox the White House has
allowed this to happen.

Speaker 24 (01:05:40):
I'm Harris and majorcists decided that they were going to
go against the best practices when it comes to securing
the homeland and implement policies that actively undercut urried departments
and agencies that were created in the Aftermampis.

September eleventh, the af dannyman recently busted for plotting a
terror attack on election Day, arrived on an immage'nt visa
shortly after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Cory Jolson News
Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
And now we learned that out of Canada from the
north is how terror threats are entering this country.

Speaker 26 (01:06:15):
We're getting so many people attempting men of the United
States from Canada. It's a lot more likely that those
terrorist threats are going to come from individuals who are
living in Canada than individuals who are coming over the
southwest border.

Speaker 6 (01:06:27):
Andrew Arthur with a Center for Immigration Studies. As the
number of northern illegal aliens has skyrocketed, ninety percent of
those who are on the terror watch list, ninety on
the terror watch lists actually have entered through the northern border.
It's now six thirty five. Kamala Harri is only getting
seventy eight percent of the Black vote now. According to

(01:06:49):
the New York Times, Hillary Clinton had ninety two percent
in twenty sixteen. Harris served up to another word salad
during her rally in Greenville, North Carolina, yesterday.

Speaker 36 (01:07:00):
Because what we see is so hard to see that
we lose faith or a vision of those things we
cannot see but must know.

Speaker 6 (01:07:10):
Do you know what she said?

Speaker 10 (01:07:13):
I do?

Speaker 6 (01:07:14):
Bob is even or she it's six thirty five right now,
oh man. The death tolle from Hurricane Milton and Florida
is now twenty three more than four hundred thousand homes
without powers. Still they're getting it back on. Still an
unknown amount of people though missing in North Carolina from Helene,
and a lot of confusion over FEMA response.

Speaker 38 (01:07:38):
We haven't been called by FEMA on a conference call
and said, hey, listen, this is what happens because of
North Carolina and the Panhandle of Florida and the east
coast of Florida where there are tornadoes and we're down
to this midia dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
We haven't got that briefing.

Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
Yeah, FEMA, Federal Florida Congressman Brian mast asking the questions
many are wondering how and why they're able to use
funds on illegal aliens though that's what FEMA has been doing,
resulting and not having enough now for hurricane victims. The
answer bureaucracy and the lack of oversight, and not to

(01:08:12):
mention accountability.

Speaker 32 (01:08:15):
They just have political appointees that go in front of
politicians and say this is our budget, this is what
we need.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
They then give it to them, and then.

Speaker 32 (01:08:23):
The political appointees do basically whatever they want with that money.

Speaker 6 (01:08:29):
Further their own career. Is former FBI Special Agent Jonathan
Gilliam there, he blames the incompetent leadership. It's more focused
on their ideologies, their ideological goals. Six thirty six is

Did you know that since the Fed cut rates in
mid September, So now the average rate on a three

(01:08:51):
year fixed mortgage has risen about forty seven basis points

Speaker 28 (01:09:01):
Home buyers are very frustrated mortgage rates are. Even though
they've come down there there's still way above where they
were for a couple decades and certainly well above where
they were in the pandemic. When mortgageris fobolo three percent bank.

Speaker 6 (01:09:16):
Great analy is there Jeff Ostrowsky. He says, mortgage rates,
housing prices are just ever frustrating to home buyers, and
boy is this something to be happy about. A history
making day for SpaceX.

Speaker 39 (01:09:30):
Yesterday, SpaceX launching its enormous Starship Rocket Sunday morning at
sunrise from South Texas. Seven minutes later, in a historic first,
the two hundred and thirty two foot booster landed back
at the launch pad, gently caught by the tower's special arms.
We can see those, and with that breakthrough, SpaceX now

(01:09:55):
moves closer to using the Starship for future Moon and
Mars missions.

Speaker 6 (01:10:00):
Yeah, the capsule that it launched self destruct over the Gulf.

This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
So a little follow up here on one of the
news items that Shary just had for you as Senator
jd Vance Vice presidential candidate jd Vance danced with Martha
Raddits on ABC yesterday and I love Jdvans.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
He goes on these Sunday shows.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
No matter who, no matter where, no matter when, into
enemy territory, knowing he's going to get attacked and he
deals with it. But this is the part that we're
dealing with right now.

Speaker 8 (01:11:04):
Thankce we're limited to a handful of apartment conflex apartment complexes,
and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers have acted
on those concerns a handful of problems.

Speaker 19 (01:11:18):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
open border.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
So I want you to hear that part in Just
as a quick follow up before I give you part two.
My friend Will, who is a dedicated kt RH listener,
messaged on and tags me into it on a tweet
yesterday saying, Martha Raddits is complaining about a handful of
apartment apartments by the way complexes. A handful of complex

(01:11:50):
is filled with dangerous, violent Venezuelan gangs.

Speaker 5 (01:11:55):
She's dismissing that is no big deal.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
And as Will point it out, but a handful of
migrants were shipped up to Martha's vineyard and within twenty
four hours they had them off the island.

Speaker 6 (01:12:04):
That yeah, and some of those complexes are like three
hundred units.

Speaker 5 (01:12:08):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
That's what complexes. And they're big in Texas individually.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
Yeah, apartment complexes.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
We're talking about dozens or hundreds of units occupied by
these very violent gang members. Anyway, point being jd Vance said,
do you hear yourself you're dismissing this as being no
big deal. Well, Jasmine Crockett wanted to weigh on in
this as well. How about Representative Jasmine Crockett saying, I
agree gangs are a problem, but listen to the types

(01:12:34):
of gangs she's talking about.

Speaker 36 (01:12:36):
I agree with something that you actually using your intro,
something that Trump said. He said that we've got these
cities and these towns that are being overrun by gangs
and the prime out of control. I absolutely agree with that.
And guess what, it's the maga gang. It is the
white supremacists that have decided to descend upon places such

(01:12:57):
as Springfield, Ohio.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
So I agree, mag gangs are the danger, not the
trendy agua or however you say their names. That's that
the Venezuelan gangs that are taking over these complexes and
taken over small towns like Aurora, Illinois, or a Royal Colorado.

Speaker 5 (01:13:13):
Rather, they're not the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
Maga gangs are white supremacist gangs because you see them
roving the streets at.

Speaker 5 (01:13:19):
Night, don't you.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
Maga gangs going around and terrorizing people and committing all
kinds of horrific crimes. That's Jasmine Crockett, who might be
in a party filled with racist people, the most racist
of all of the Democrats. She might very well be.
There's a very very stiff competition for the top spot
in that.

Speaker 6 (01:13:39):
By the way, well, it sound like every one of
those apartments, is they has somebody inhabiting it. A lot
of times it's empty, and they use it as stash houses.
They use it for drug dealing, they use it for storing.
This is the illegal trafficking. This is the actual crime
in anybody who might live there, you're threatened.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
That's why President Trump has sounded the alarm on this,
and I love his response to which we'll talk more
about a bit too. But let's get to a trafficking
weather now and see what's going on on the roadway
sky Mike.

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
Yoyo, what's up, homie Bob. I thought we were, recall,
not a gang. Let's go to the golf Freeway. First
of all, they cleared the wreck at Scott Street. We're
not even backed up now from the loop this time.
But well, you can't get to the loop because there's
the usual wreck we always have at park Place northbound
and it's taken up two left lanes. Everybody's fine, but
it messes up you're merging Southwest Freeway. I've got your

(01:14:27):
tip line working again seven one three two one two
t ips.

Speaker 26 (01:14:30):
Height got Mike, this is Houston believed.

Speaker 39 (01:14:32):
Hey, we had to shut down inbound Southwest Freeway because
there's a lot of gravel on the roadway due to
that accident earlier.

Speaker 4 (01:14:40):
Thank you so much, God bless your family too. Southwest Freeway,
Houston Police, and thanks for your call. Alex from Tarkington.

it is working hard. You thought yesterday was warm, hah,
wait till you see today. We're talking temperatures. Everybody's in

hundred today, load to upper nineties tomorrow.

We all know about some of the interesting developments with
DEI in this country, and we also know that By
the way, a lot of DEI is being forced out
of colleges and universities and other corporations for good reasons.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
This is just a wild moment.

Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
A high ranking employee in the Oregon Department of Forestry
has been put on leave for daring to prioritize qualified
job candidates over gender identity job candidates. A DEI expert
had her former boss placed on administratively for reportedly prioritizing

(01:19:15):
merit over personal identity when choosing new employees. Megan Donnaker,
who formerly served as the Oregon Department of Forestry's DEI
strategy officer, complained about the agency's management, criticizing her boss,
Mike Shaw, for looking quote this is like an onion,
a Babylon b story. It's not, though its real. For

(01:19:37):
looking quote beyond gender and identity and hiring seeking only
candidates most qualified for the job end quote. This is
literally the quote, how dare you look beyond gender and
identity and and and hire the most qualified people? That
can't be allowed. Donnaker reportedly first took issue with shawwhen

(01:20:00):
he advocated for a careful approach to DEI, comparing rapid
changes to speeding on an icy road. You can't go
sixty out of the gate or you're going to crash
the car. She didn't like that. She also reportedly claimed
that six queer staffers whatever that means, whatever that looks like,
didn't quote feel safe or comfortable end quote at work

(01:20:21):
because they could not have conversations about their pronouns and
other things that are important to them and referred to
the department as a boys club. So the individual, the
manager who hired people, was placed onto the administrative leave
while they investigate his horrific crime of prioritizing merit and
qualifications over identity and gender. Shara just makes me want

(01:20:44):
to say, stop the plan big?

Speaker 6 (01:20:45):
How big is that staff? I mean you had six
people who were complaining, that's.

Speaker 5 (01:20:53):
What it says.

Speaker 6 (01:20:54):
Yeah, as a pretty odd percentage of his staff is
in ten the big.

Speaker 5 (01:21:00):
Department of Forestry says.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Let's see, I'm trying to piece this together because I
didn't go this this far.

Speaker 6 (01:21:10):
They didn't feel comfortable, I'm saying, Okay, so they were
a minority part of employees and they just wanted more
coming in so they wouldn't feel offended or scared.

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
Maybe, but you know, I mean, the reality is it
doesn't matter what they wanted to know who was the
best for the job.

Speaker 6 (01:21:28):
But that's the way things work. Apparently in Oregon.

Speaker 5 (01:21:31):
The individual who got placed on the admin leave. Here
we go.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
I can give you a little bit more context here.
The person who got placed on leave, mister Shaw, is
second in command under the state Forester or Cal Mukamoto,
Mister Mukamoto overseas. According to this UH, the State Forestry
Department of Forestry, which has roughly fourteen hundred employees. So
fourteen hundred employees, and apparently mister Shaw, who was part

(01:21:58):
hiring some of these people, chose the best people over
the identity people and UH and the you know with
their pronouns and their and their gender and so on
and so forth, and so out of fourteen hundred employees.
The fact is he hired some based on how qualified
they were and maybe not based on whether or not
they had rainbows in their in their bios. And so
he got put on on leave and is now potentially

(01:22:21):
going to lose his job. Six Sometimes you see stories
like this and you just say, we've got to stop.

Speaker 5 (01:22:27):
We've got to stop somewhere. This has to end. I
just don't know when to where.

It's however, still looking good right now for Donald Trump.
Latest NBC newsball showing that Trump wiped out the Kamala
Harris lead of five points that she originally had when
she took the nomination. They claimed the race is now
a dead heat. Trump leading by one point actually nationally
if you consider third party candidates on the ballot in

So and Bob France and for Jimmy on this Columbus Day,
and I started to show at the very first hour
reminding everybody it is Columbus Day. Don't let anybody try
to fool you into tell you telling you it's anything different,
Indigenous People's Day or any other nonsense. This is Columbus Day.
Christopher Columbus was a giant, and Christopher Columbus deserves to
be respected for his extraordinary contributions to humanity and to

(01:32:16):
all of us, which is why we are here. There's
a video I would like to turn you onto. It's
a video from Prager University and it's Michael Knowles, who
is a historian and lecturer and author who's just a brilliant,
brilliant man and has all of the details he has researched.
Christopher Columbus inside out, talks about his great things, talks

(01:32:37):
about the things that were not so great about him,
but most importantly about what his contributions, again to humanity
were and to our current civilization. They cannot ever ever
be overlooked. And he responds to some of the criticisms
and some of the things that people want to wipe
out Christopher Columbus, just like they want to wipe out
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, founding fathers and so forth from history,

(01:33:00):
taking down statues they want to rename, you know, school town,
name the city, the capital city of Ohio.

Speaker 6 (01:33:06):
I know, thank how many towns are named Columbus. We
have one in Texas dot too far from Houston.

Speaker 5 (01:33:11):
You know, Columbus Georgia.

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
You're I think every state probably has one in all seriousness.
But anyway, there's a video, a five minute video. It
is worth your time. Listen to Michael Knowles. So anybody
asks you whether you celebrate Columbus Day or recognize it
on this day or if it's Indigenous People's Day, know
the facts. And so I've posted that video to my
Facebook page and my Twitter page, and I'm gonna put

(01:33:35):
it on my social media, I mean my video channels
as well. I'll talk about those in a second. But
find me on Twitter at Strictly Speaking with Bob France.

You may also find it under Strictly Speaking USA, and
then share it.

Speaker 5 (01:33:50):

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Is my point that Michael Knowles telling you the truth
about Columbus Day and about Christopher Columbus and what his
contributions were. Then on the flip side to use a
little self promotion time here and ask you I just
launched video channels with some of my deep hour plus
long interviews with various celebrities, politicians, authors, poets, you name it, musicians,

Speaker 5 (01:39:20):
Okay, seven twenty one.

Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
Now, if the ever growing legion of Marxists in the
ruling class and their subsidiary, the Democrat Party, were to
prevail again in twenty twenty four, this cabal, with their
disdain for their fellow citizens, will irrec irrevocably transform this
nation into a despotic one party socialist oligarchy and make
certain that future elections will be meaningless. Wow, that's a

(01:39:43):
strong statement, and that is exactly what Steve McMahon wrote
in The American Thinker, who joins us now to talk
about whether we will have ever any elections again if
it doesn't go right on November five, Steve, good.

Speaker 4 (01:39:53):
Morning, Good morning, How are you this morning?

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Well, I don't know, ask me that in three weeks.
I mean, this is a pretty strong statement. Elon has
said it. You wrote a very very important piece about it.
Tell us, Tell people who don't understand the threat of
a Kamala Harris presidency and a Marxist presidency what exactly
you're talking about.

Speaker 13 (01:40:14):
Well, the current ruling class and the subsidiary, the Democrat
Party is pretty much heavily as you previously quoted, Marxist
in doctrinated. And what a lot of Americans don't seem
to want to believe is that they are currently running
the government and that we really genuinely despise our fellow citizens.

Speaker 4 (01:40:39):
And they are so.

Speaker 13 (01:40:39):
Certain that with their proven ability to manipulate the voting process,
combined with the reduced impact of the whites vote through
enormously legal immigration, reliant still on the bulk of the
black population and the Hispanic population voting for them, that

(01:41:01):
they can effectively eliminate any opposition and never lose an election.
The thing that a lot of people don't seem to
understand is that this group really genuinely dislikes their fellow citizens.

Speaker 6 (01:41:18):
Anybody who doesn't believe as they do, anybody who doesn't
share their ideology.

Speaker 43 (01:41:25):
But there if you look at every sector of the
American populace, whether it's the Black Americans, Hispanics, the wet
working class, and they're real if you wanted, really an
example of their distaining towards basic in humanity, the whole

(01:41:45):
issue of the legal immigration, where they've deliberately encouraged fifteen
people into the country over the past four years. I mean,
they don't care if the illegal immigrants are.

Speaker 13 (01:41:57):
Subspective to forced labor, sex trafficking, child nolization, or ape,
torture or whatever, And they don't these illegals throughout the
nation creating serious issues for the American people. And the
sole purpose of this flow of the legal immigrants, it's
the diminished the political and voting impact of the primarily
the white population, but the Native population, and to keep

(01:42:20):
the black in the Native Hispanic population chained to the
Democrat Party.

Speaker 5 (01:42:27):
The current American.

Speaker 13 (01:42:28):
Ruling class doesn't give them by the illegal immigrants, or
the lives and rights of the working white working class,
or the back population or the Hispanic Americans. And they
are so confident that if they win another term, and
as I said earlier, they're already entrenched in the halls
of power another term, that would make them pretty much

(01:42:51):
impossible to dislodge it at that point. This is something
that Elon Musk and many of us naturalize legal immigrants.

Speaker 4 (01:43:01):
Understand.

Speaker 5 (01:43:01):
And see that's twenty twenty four.

Speaker 13 (01:43:03):
America is sitting precariously on the edge of a precipice.
And that's the reason Elon has been able to be
so successful, is because the American founders were determined to
establish a country which dismatism would not arise or flourish. However,

(01:43:23):
they also understood that the base aspect of human nature
would always come out and that it would be up
to an informed and engage electorate to ensure the nation survived.
Is founded, and this nation has founded is what has
allowed Eloned to be the world's greatest innovator and the
developer at the current period of time.

Speaker 3 (01:43:48):
Well, he certainly has his finger and Steve McManus our
guest and the American thinker, Steve, thank you so much
for the time. We appreciate that. I know we had
some audio glitches there. I'm not exactly sure what happened,
but your message is an important one. Elon absolutely has
his finger on the pulse of this. We are literally
talking about I don't want to say existentialists in the country.
We would be wiped out. But as it has always

(01:44:08):
been known, it will never ever be the same again,
and we may not be able to vote to get
it back that way. So thank you Steve for the message.
It is seven to twenty six. Let's get a Blueberg

More of what's happening now from the John Morris Services Studios.

Speaker 3 (01:45:41):
Donald Trump announced the steps to keep you safe from
illegal alien criminals, dipping back into the eighteenth century to
do it and open borders have consequences. Texas is among
twenty nine states to have suffered cases of Islamic terrorism.
Good morning, Bob Ranson for Jimmy Sheriff's got the details
on those stories and more coming up. But first let's
get that traffic and whether it in here.

Speaker 4 (01:46:00):
Scott might clear the stall off the West sam northbound
at the West Park. That's out of the way, but
the backups are still there from Belfort northbound. That's out
of this is going northbound, yes, Southwest Freeway. The gravel,
it'll be a plague all morning at the west Loop
six ten big backups from bel Air. Let's take the
KD instead and look at that Katie Freeway inbound right

(01:46:20):
before Washington had an accident. That just cleared. Got some
backups from Ikea inbound. You have to put it all together.
I'm Skymike in the classic Buick GMC traffic center.

Hot hot, hot today, sunny, with temperatures up in the
upper nineties, maybe records being set tonight down to a
more normal sixty nine, then coming back up into the
mid nineties tomorrow, a little bit more normal the rest
of the week. I let Terry give you the details
coming up at seven forty. Right now, we're counting seventy
two at your official severe weather station's radio seven forty
ktr H.

Speaker 5 (01:46:51):
Now the news once.

Speaker 6 (01:46:52):
Again, here sher, Good morning, everyone is down. Seven thirty
two on news radio seven forty ktr H in our
top story this hour. President Donald Tromp wrapped up his
West Coast swing yesterday, and it started with a promise
to keep America safe from illegal alien criminals.

Speaker 23 (01:47:09):
I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety
eight to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating
on American soil.

Speaker 6 (01:47:20):
Tromp calling his plans to clean out cartel and gang
crime Operation Aurora, after the city that's been overrunn in
Colorado by the violent Venezuelan gang trained de Aragua. In
his Arizona rally last night, he proposed hiring ten thousand
new border patrol agents, giving them ten thousand dollars retention
and signing bonuses. The recent arrest of that Afghan man

(01:47:44):
who was plotting an election day terror attack on the
United States has raised some major concerns about the vetting
of illegal aliens allowed into this country or even brought here.
Former DHS senior advisor Charles Marino told Fox this man
who had worked as an interpreter for the CIA, was
allowed in just weeks after the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Speaker 24 (01:48:07):
We've got people exploiting the system because this is a
rush to process. This is a rush by this administration
based on their politics, to quickly change the demographics of
this country despite what it does to our overall national security.

Speaker 6 (01:48:22):
Yeah, House Homeland Security Committee report detailed fifty cases of
Islamic terrorism across twenty nine states now including Texas, just
since twenty twenty one. Illegal aliens not just crossing the
southern border either. They're also coming in from the north
in some record numbers. For that shocking record numbers.

Speaker 25 (01:48:42):
Shara, it's something that former immigration judge Andrew Arthur has
been focusing on for the Center for Immigration Studies.

Speaker 26 (01:48:50):
It's a two hundred and forty two fold increase in
just a four year period.

Speaker 25 (01:48:55):
That's over twenty thousand over the last year.

Speaker 26 (01:48:59):
The efficate numbers. We've seen a huge tries in the
number of apprehensions of the northern border. These numbers are
concerning in the nationality's involved.

Speaker 25 (01:49:07):
And almost ninety percent of the illegals on the terror
watch list enter through the northern border. Jeff Biggs News
Radio seven forty k t H.

Speaker 6 (01:49:17):
It's now seven thirty four. The New York Times says
Kamala Harris only has seventy eight percent of black vote
right now. Sounds like a lot, but Hillary Clinton had
ninety two percent in twenty sixteen. Harris's running made Tim
Walls claims to be a gun owner and a hunter.
He had trouble loading his shotgun during a recent hunting trip,
and it was all caught on camera.

Speaker 27 (01:49:40):
It never fit's quite right, never fit's quite right. It's
not quite right. How do you give him that, Governor?

Speaker 3 (01:49:47):
What kind of gun is?

Speaker 28 (01:49:48):
This is a Verretta eighty four hundred.

Speaker 6 (01:49:50):
Well someone he told him what kind of gun it was.
They called him Elmer Fudd is now seboun thirty five
death told from Hurricane Milllton and Florida twenty three. Now
four hundred thousand homes still with no power, Biden Harris. Well,
they claim the regime they've got to have more cash
if we're going to get through hurricane season.

Speaker 31 (01:50:13):
This is the result of ideologically driven miss.

Speaker 30 (01:50:15):
We need Congress to act swiftly to fund FEMA and
specifically its disaster relief fund because hurricane season is not
over well.

Speaker 6 (01:50:26):
He demanded it for the Secret Service that he also oversees,
don't you know, And he got it, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
But there's outrage over FEMA with all of its money
using taxpayer dollars to provide for illegal aliens. How do
we even get here? And who has allowed this?

Speaker 31 (01:50:46):
This is the result of ideologically driven mismanagement from agency.

Speaker 32 (01:50:50):
Leadership overall, their incompetent careerist or ideologues, mainly leftists who
don't know how to run these agencies.

Speaker 31 (01:50:58):
Former FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gillham says lack of Congressional
oversight is also a big part of the problem.

Speaker 32 (01:51:04):
All these different politicians they fund these agencies, but nobody
actually sits back and has accountability for what they're doing
with the money.

Speaker 31 (01:51:12):
This lack of accountability allows FEMA to request more and
more money from Congress just to turn around and waste it.

Mainstream media claims our economy is good, but you know what,
they're overlooking mortgage race. They're rising again.

Speaker 34 (01:51:32):
The average thirty year fixed mortgage rate is up about
forty seven basis points since the FED cut interest rates
last month.

Speaker 28 (01:51:38):
The week's leading up to the FED cut, mortgage rates
fell pretty dramatically, and then in the weeks after the
Fed cut, the mortgage rates actually have been rising.

Speaker 34 (01:51:47):
Bank Ray analyst Jeff Ostrotski says those looking to buy
are faced with many challenges.

Speaker 28 (01:51:51):
Mortgage rates are one reason for buyers to be discouraged.
Another is just home prices. So home prices are near
record levels, housing affordability is a real issue.

Speaker 34 (01:52:01):
On September eighteenth, interest rates were lowered by fifty basis points.

Next on the ten on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:52:35):
Yeah, just to follow up on exactly what you were
talking about there about FEMA and the money.

Speaker 44 (01:52:41):
Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter
Program to eligible local governments and not non for profit
organizations upon requests to support humanitarian relief for migrants.

Speaker 3 (01:52:54):
Humanitarian relief for migrants FEMA funds. This was from twenty
twenty two Karine Jean Pierre laying it out how much
money is available to migrants. That money came from FEMA.
If FEMA is short on money, now, how can the left?
How can the Harris Biden administration dare call it misinformation

(01:53:16):
to say that funds that are short as majorcus is
crying the blues here, We're gonna be out of money.

Speaker 5 (01:53:21):
The hurricane season isn't over.

Speaker 3 (01:53:22):
How dare they say that it's misinformation to say money
was funneled to the migrant problem as opposed to hurricane relief.
It's on tape, it's in their budget. That's not money
that was allocated for migrant relief from some other portion
of the government. This is from FEMA, the Federal Emergency

(01:53:42):
Management Agency is supposed to save that money for Americans,
not to be given to illegals who come through Camalo's
open front door. That's just the reality of it, and
I'm sick.

Speaker 6 (01:53:55):
Well, they're giving it to Americans because all those hotels
where they're putting them up, those guys at full hotels for.

Speaker 3 (01:54:01):
Yeah, they've got luxury hotels for crying out loud, and
EBT cards and debit cards handed to them as they
walk in.

Speaker 6 (01:54:09):
And they're selected sanctuary cities. So see, that's the Democrats
taking care of the Democrats.

Speaker 3 (01:54:15):
They meanwhile, and meanwhile, you got Venezuelan gangs taking over
entire sections of cities with massive apartment complexes filled with
illegal aliens and as you talked about before, stashed supplies, guns, drugs.
Lord only knows what all prisoner Trump is targeting that
with Operation Aurora.

Speaker 5 (01:54:30):
We'll get more on that coming up in a bit.
Let's hit traffic now.

Speaker 3 (01:54:34):
As we push up on seven forties Skymike, that means you,
all right, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:54:37):
We got two eighty eight southbound, we cleared the wreck
and Highway six. Are we sure there's not a wreck
at Croy Roads southbound? That sure looks like a hard
front door to me. We'll have to zoom that at
the seven fifty here, Terry, this is going to be
a plague gravel. This is Southwest Freeway. All lanes are
still blocked at the west loops six ' ten. You've
got big scoochery here from bondering it. Well, wait a minute,

(01:54:59):
it looks like the cleared that. Did they clear Okay,
we'll level check that, but it sure looks like they've
just picked up the last of it. I'm still gonna
send you a different way, Katie Freeway. That was the alternate,
But now we have this wreck right before Washington passed
the loop. We're backed up from IKEA. We're working on it,
but it's requiring some assembly. Here west Loop down to
uptown's backed up from two ninety. We've got the suckage

(01:55:21):
on the north sam that is going westbound all the
westfield it's roadworking, then eastbound at Imperial Valley. And I'm
still hearing about fog, especially on two ninety, and my
TV friends tell me they can't fly this morning, Terry
because of that. Also, downtown it's squished up IA sixty
nine East tex the elevated from I tenth going southbound. Oh,
you never have to miss Houston traffic. By the way, Terry.

The thermometer is going to be busy today, isn't it, Terry.

Speaker 17 (01:56:04):
Yeah, it's comfortable now for the morning, not going to
be that way later today. It's going to be even
hotter than it was yesterday. Today and tomorrow we are
flirting with record heat and a number of locations, and
then a cold front puts the kabash on that.

Speaker 18 (01:56:20):
It feels like fall midweek. So hang in there, folks.

Speaker 17 (01:56:23):
We've got temperatures today low nineties to near one hundred,
and then tomorrow low to upper nineties, so almost unnoticeably different.

Speaker 18 (01:56:30):
Tomorrow. Cold front sneaks into town Tomorrow.

Speaker 17 (01:56:33):
Night, so that Wednesday and Thursday the afternoon highs in
the mid to upper seventies, and then a little bit
warmer Friday, load to mid eighties Friday, So a nice
stretch of fall once we get to midweek.

Traffic and weather every ten minutes on the tents. Houston's
Morning News. What you need to know for the day ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:57:04):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (01:57:09):
Okay, seven forty nine. So just a few more details
on what Chery has been talking about when she's in
the newscast covered Operation Aurora. This is what President Trump
has dubbed his plan and his promise that if he
is president again, to remove quote, every criminal network operating
in the United States, such as the Venezuelan and Trendy
Aragua gang. If that's how you say it, I don't

(01:57:31):
really much care how you say it, to be quite frank,
he explained at is rally in Aurora on Friday. And
I love the fact that he's going out through these
blue states like Colorado, and he's going to Coachella in California.
On all of these things, he said, if elected, he
will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight
in order to target and dismantle all criminal networks operating

(01:57:52):
in the country. He said during the speech, the border
would be sealed, the invasion would be stopped, and he
did so in honor of all of the not all
of but a handful of the more high profile victims
of illegal alien violent crime. He said he will invoke
this Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight, and this,
of course, is drawing a lot of ridicule and condemnation

(01:58:14):
from the left, who don't seem to think that anything
that happened in the eighteenth century matters today. You know,
things like I don't know, the Declaration of Independence, the
Constitution of the United States. They think those are ancient
relics that should be ignored as well. I mean, seriously,
in seventeen eighty seven, something happened that was kind of
important to this country, when our constitution was not just

(01:58:34):
for that decade or for that century, but for all
of American you know, the future of America. They think
that's that's irrelevant. Now, well, guess what it is relevant,
and so is so our acts like the Alien Enemies
Act of seventeen ninety eight. President Trump would be wise
to invoke this if indeed he does win, and we
would be wise to tell everybody that's why on November fifth,

(01:58:57):
three weeks from tomorrow, you better do exactly that. Okay,
let's do traffic and weather once again. Here's Scott May.

Speaker 4 (01:59:03):
Clear the gravel Southwest Freeway at the West Loop. Still
big backups from bel Air Katie Freeway inbound just past
the loop that wrecks the center lane. Four cars back
from Antwin. Watch this North Loop thing at cross Timbers.
It's just a stall. Everybody's okay, but he's in a
bad spot here right after the loop. It's right after
all the merging craziness. Mike from Spring put this banana

Okay seven fifty three. I want to pivot away from
all of that as we wrap it up this morning
on Houston's Morning News, and thank you for letting me
be a part of it. I want to give the
last couple of minutes here to Michael Knowles. Michael Knowles
is a researcher and an author, and a conservative pundit
and a phenomenal champion of people like Christopher Columbus.

Speaker 5 (02:01:40):
Today is Columbus Day. Some people don't want you to
know that.

Speaker 3 (02:01:43):
They don't want you to recognize that they want to
talk about indigenous peoples. This has stolen land and all
of the rest. This is a clip of a Q
and a session that he did with students at a
Young Americans Foundation event in which a cocky, smarmy student

(02:02:03):
decided to call Christopher Columbus an evil man, a racist
man because he is a man who participated in slavery
when he sent some slaves back to Spain when he
found quote unquote the New World. I want you to
listen to the facts as argued by Michael Knowles, again
one of the best historians on this issue that you
will ever hear. This is what I want you to

(02:02:24):
think of.

Speaker 45 (02:02:24):
On Columbus Day, he agreed to the incommanders system as
a political concession because he was out foxed by a
local mayor named Roll Dan. This was the cause of
much of his consternation in the New World. It's the
reason that Bobadilla was able to take over and usurp
control from him in the West Indies. This is a
political reality. This is not a beautiful thing. It's a

(02:02:45):
terrible thing. Slavery is an awful thing. None of us
disagrees with that. But for us now, as people who
have benefited, all people of the whole world, who have
benefited from the greatest country, the most profitable, the most charity,
the most equitable, the most just, the one that allows
you to stand there and ask me that question, for
us to spit on that man who made all of

(02:03:07):
it possible because he made some moral concessions in order
to take the most ambitious voyage at that time in
the history of man. Is so bizarrely ungrateful. It is
so ignorant of historical and political realities as to be
naiven sophomoric.

Speaker 34 (02:03:24):
Well, my question was, how can you justify calling me
a hero?

Speaker 45 (02:03:27):
Just justified it, That's my explanation. I think that you're
standing on the shoulders of giants, and you think that
you're flying, but you're not.

Speaker 5 (02:03:34):
We are dwarfs standing on.

Speaker 45 (02:03:36):
The shoulders of that great man, and we spit down
on him in our ingratitude.

Speaker 1 (02:03:40):
How pathetic. That is just my very.

Speaker 3 (02:03:49):
Very little tribute that I want to give to Christopher
Columbus on this Christopher Columbus Day, and I hope you
remember that, and I hope you study that up a
little bit. In fact, I posted a video I said
it in the first hour of five minute video about
the truth about Christopher Columbus and everything that his legacy entails.
It's available for you now, and I tweeted it from
Strict Speaking at Strict Speaking or at Strictly Speaking with

(02:04:10):
Bob Franz. It's on my Facebook page as well, so
please follow me on those platforms and take a look
at it. For yourself and have yourself a wonderful day.
I'll see you next time.
