the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer and good morning everyone.

Speaker 6 (01:27):
It is now five o' one on news radio seven
to forty KTRH and our top story this hour is
this the or one of the October surprises.

Speaker 7 (01:38):
Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her
criminal justice book Smart on Crime, the book.

Speaker 6 (01:48):
That she allegedly wrote, Oh that was ktrh's Buck Sexton.
Harris actually accused of twenty seven instances of plagiarism by
Austrian professor Stephan Weber, known as the Plagiarism Hunter. The
New York Times admitting, well, it's true, but also claims

(02:08):
it's not serious. Harri's campaigned in the battleground state of
Pennsylvania last night serving up more word salad. That's what
happens when she is in control.

Speaker 8 (02:19):
We are the underdog.

Speaker 9 (02:21):
We are running like the underdog.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
We have some hard work ahead of us.

Speaker 9 (02:27):
But here's the thing, also, we like hard work.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:33):
One year from January twenty, we will have you.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Yeah. Harris by the way, was in Erie, Pennsylvania, and
then jumped the gun there Donald Trump. He was in Oaks, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 10 (02:56):
One year from January twentieth, we will have your energy
prices cut in half all over the country.

Speaker 11 (03:04):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
He was doing a town hall. The new polling, by
the way, is showing Trump with an early lead among
early voters forty eight to forty seven percent. This is
a Harvard Harris poll. Mainstream media once is all believe
that the race is closed. But what if the pollsters
are getting it wrong again, just like they did in

(03:27):
twenty twenty and twenty sixteen.

Speaker 12 (03:30):
Well, then Donald Trump wins the election in a blowout
with three hundred and twelve electro votes because he carries
all these great lake battleground states plus now out of
plus the other states, who's leading.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
In it Harry Inton. He's CNN's election data analysts and
for years polls we know have under reported Trump voters.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz debates his Democrat challenger, Colin Allread
tonight in Dallas, the only debate between these two men.
We will have more on the race and the debate
at five thirty AM. It's now five oh four. Death

(04:02):
toll from Hurricane Milton remains at twenty three there. In Florida,
Governor Ron Desanta says the lights are back on for
ninety seven percent of the state after millions were knocked offline.

Speaker 13 (04:14):
Dab two hurricanes hit like this and have to do
the restoration was not easy and those guys have done
a great job.

Speaker 14 (04:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Florida also dealing with the impact of Helene, which hit
two weeks before Milton. Death toll from Hurricane Helene is
at least two hundred and fifty now. Ninety five of
those tests are in North Carolina alone, where officials expect
that number to rise coming up on five to five.
War in the Middle East to drop in demand in

(04:42):
a slowed economy are tanking oil futures this morning, nearly
four percent down, just over seventy dollars a barrel. US
is deploying to Israel. It's THAD advanced anti missile system
and about one hundred troops to operate it. After the
attack by Iran and continued rocket strikes by Hamas and Hezbal,
a terrorist.

Speaker 15 (05:03):
The Pentagon announced the decision on Sunday after the President
spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netan Yahoo by phone
Friday and urged Israel not to target Iran's nuclear program
or oil facilities for fear of stoking and expanded war.
Israel has yet to respond to Iran firing one hundred
and eighty one ballistic missiles at Israel on October.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
First, also shoring up elections support. That's Fox's Jennifer Griffin.
The US has sent these missile systems before, According to
the liberal Washington Post, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyaho told
the White House that Israel is willing to hit military
targets in Iran, but not nuclear sites or oil fields.

(05:47):
For the first time in years, US military has been
able to reach its recruitment goals, it says, but it
only did it by moving the goldpost.

Speaker 16 (05:56):
The top brass is cutting some major corners in order
to make ends meet.

Speaker 14 (06:00):
Lowered standards for recruitment.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Across the board.

Speaker 13 (06:02):
That includes fitness standards, that includes academic standards, that even
includes standards related to mental health.

Speaker 16 (06:08):
The Daily Callers Jake Smith told KTRH lowering the bar
like this has major national security implications.

Speaker 17 (06:14):
War in Europe, war in the Middle East.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Our military needs to be ready now more than ever,
and we're arguably less ready now than we were twenty
years ago.

Speaker 16 (06:23):
The Army has also lowered its target number of recruits
from sixty five thousand all the way down to just
fifty five thousand. Ethan Buchannan News Radio seven forty KRH
five or six is our time.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
Since the pandemic, we've had a lot of workers retired
without being replaced by other qualified people, at least not
ready yet. It has companies struggling for new employees to
get them up to speed, and in some cases they're
having to recall the former ones.

Speaker 18 (06:51):
People are looking to obviously invest in the people that
are underneath them, but they're also looking to go rehire
back those experienced workers on a consultant or part time
basis to help bridge that skills gap.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Robert Vaughn with the placement firm Robert Haff He says
at quarter of Houston companies now rehiring retirees to come
back to work as consultants. Some local business owners in
Chema were hoping that a judge would issue an injunction
that would ultimately reopen sixth Street there, but the hearing
yesterday postponed due to a scheduling conflict.

Speaker 19 (07:22):
If he issues an injunction, then the street remains open
until they go to trial. If he declines to issue
the injunction, it's probably a signal from the judge that
he will agree to dismiss the cave.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
Holly Hanson with the Texans says that would mean the
street would remain closed, but business owners say that's against
the law, and the hearing could resume later this week.
And three employees have filed the first lawsuit against the
Mexican chemical company Pimmex over that plant ex leak in
Deer Park that killed two and thirty five others had

(07:57):

preseason action. Tonight coverage on Sports Talk seven nineties starts
as six thirty. I'm shereber Fryer on News Radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Because this mac seeing the effects of the strike miss.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
If you side it, bag Trump back as president.

Speaker 17 (08:16):
News Radio seven, this is not over yet.

Speaker 20 (08:19):
K c RH.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Five O nine ers our time here on Houston's morning News.
All right, this, however, smacks. Now let me start by saying,
I love ranch dressing. I have it on salads, I
eat it with I dip my French fries into it
when I get French fries. I don't mind it as
a condiment. In fact, it has replaced anything I would
have used ketchup for back in the day has been

(08:42):
replaced by ranch. But the idea that you would have
to dip your entire burger into a tub of ranch
to make it edible tells me that this is a
little bit of desperation on behalf of Burger King. Now,
we can argue all day about who has the best burgers.
I don't think anybody's gonna put Burger King at the
top of the list. They're still around some people like

(09:07):
them that I can't remember the last time I've been
to a Burger King. That's fine, we'd ever float your boat.
But if you have to dip your burger in ranch dressing,
I mean, if you want to use it as a condiment,
a little bit on the top like you would for
ketchup or mustard or whatever. That's fine. But if you
have to dip the whole thing in there that's assigned,
things aren't going well. It's not good. You don't really

(09:29):
like it. You're just doing that so you can make
it palatable. Burger King is passing out and by the way,
Houston is one of the test markets, so it's starting
at some of the Burger Kings here in town. If
you're interested in this, it's called the Big Dip Cup.
Starting on Wednesday in a handful of markets Houston included,
they will pass out an eight ounce tub of Hidden

(09:51):
Valley Ranch free with any sandwich, saying the tub has
been made big enough that you could dip any one
of their sandwiches, including the Whopper. It will the Whopper
will fit if you want to dip the whole thing
in there, they said. Once we introduced Hidden Valley Ranch
to Burger King restaurants nationwide, we knew we wanted to

(10:11):
celebrate the partnership in a big way. We know our
clients love dipping everything in ranch, even their sandwiches, so
we're excited to deliver our Hidden Valley Ranch dip cup
big enough for all of their dipping and dunking needs.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
How do you drive and do that?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I wouldn't suggest you drive and do that unless you
got autopilot or something.

Speaker 13 (10:32):
See.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
Only way I have ever eaten a fast food burger.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Anyway is behind the wheel. Yeah you've never You've never
sat down in a fast food restaurant and had a burger?

Speaker 6 (10:44):
I think maybe one time?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Really? So you only you only go through the drive
through pick it up. This, This is something I'm on
my way somewhere. I don't have time. I don't have
time to stop and eat, so I'm just gonna Yeah,
I'm gonna grab this and go.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
I eat and drive. Yeah, well then you know, and
I make a mess of myself.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
And your car, no doubt.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
I've got paper towns.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
And knowfully you've got any.

Speaker 17 (11:11):
You know me.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
I don't dip.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
No, I don't dip things. No, you don't dip anything.
I don't think, you know.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
See I get I get it all on the burger
and I eat, I'll the paper around it.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
And yeah, I think the ranch dipping thing for me
began with like carrots and salary.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
When where I mean is is ranch dips I mean
it was just inimbical to Texas. People made their own
before it was ever processed.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's much better homemade, much better homemade.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
I mean, is that something that they had in Virginia?
Is that a Southern thing?

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I have no idea.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
What did you just when did you discover ranch?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
I think that's the first. I think I discovered it
in a tub in the grocery store when we were
picking up like some sort of like uh geographically finger
food finger finger geographically Michigan probably mis it. Oh, yeah,
I think ranch is a nationwide thing.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
If this pint is now, I just wondered how it's Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
It started with me with with the only way you
could crab a vegetable down. My go up was to
dip it in something. So ranch became the conduit for
me to actually eat something like salery or or carrots.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
I would think cheese would be the thing.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
You know, not un salary cheese really anything? Okay, five old,
Look at the time, we gotta get go.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
How to do it, Shara? How to drive? I could
drive with a salad fast.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
What is the strangest thing, skuy Mike, You've ever dipped
into ranch?

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Strangest thing?

Speaker 4 (12:35):
I've ever dipped into ranch zucchini.

Speaker 14 (12:37):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (12:38):

Good morning, it is five twenty two on news radio

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Five twenty three, is that time here in Houston's morning years, right?
He have Venezuelan gangs. Hey, they've only taken over a
couple of apartment complexes. It's not like they took over
the whole town. Come on, at least that seemed to
be the tack that the mayor wants to take. And
he's a Republican evidently, or maybe he's a Rhino. I
don't know, but he has an R next to his name.

(16:38):
And that's the tact that Martha Radis and ABC wanted
to take so, in case you missed it yesterday, here
is jd Vance fielding that accusation from Martha ratis that
Donald Trump is exaggerating what's going on in Aurora, Colorado.
She backs down to the bit. We'll also get some
reaction from Charles Cook. Charles Cook is with the National Review.

Speaker 21 (16:56):
So do you.

Speaker 24 (16:57):
Support Donald Trump making the claims that the Republican mayor
says were grossly exaggerated?

Speaker 25 (17:04):
President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado talking to people
on the ground, and what we're hearing, of course, Martha,
is that people are terrified by what has happened with
some of these Venezuelan gangs.

Speaker 24 (17:15):
Sener, I'm going to stop you because I know exactly
what happens.

Speaker 17 (17:18):
I'm going to stop you.

Speaker 24 (17:19):
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 3 (17:34):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?

Speaker 25 (17:36):
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, and they have every right
to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha is
sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
With nitpicking everything.

Speaker 25 (17:57):
That Donald Trump has said acknowledging that apartment complexes in
the United States of America are being taken over by
violent gangs.

Speaker 24 (18:07):
Okay, let's just end that was. They did not invade
or take over the city, as Donald Trump said, I
want to move on to It's.

Speaker 25 (18:14):
A few alartment complexes, no big deal.

Speaker 24 (18:16):
A few apartment complexes that the mayor did not seemless
invading the entire city.

Speaker 26 (18:21):
Obviously a reasonable debate to be had about many things
in this country, but whether or not Venezuelan gang should
take over apartment.

Speaker 17 (18:29):
Blocks is not really one of them.

Speaker 26 (18:32):
And whether or not the government is obliged to try
and prevent that it's not one of them either. This
is both at the border of federal question and at
the state level of state question, and I think on
this advance is absolutely right.

Speaker 17 (18:47):
If you are more worried.

Speaker 26 (18:48):
About the hyperbole from Trump than you are that this
is happening, then you've missed the forest from the trades.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yep, pretty much. Jeez, it's just a handful of apartment complexes,
you know.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
Is the whole thing about odds? You know, Okay, the

Yeah, if you're one of the people impacted by living
in that department complex, that's a little bit of a
problem for you.

Speaker 11 (22:32):
The latest polls favorite Cruise, but it's within the margin
of error.

Speaker 30 (22:35):
My turches, this is probably about a three point race,
and Cruise's favor at this.

Point SMUs cal Jilson. There, remember CRUs had a nine
point lead in polling done over the summer.

Speaker 30 (22:44):

says it began in the Reagan era, this stepping up

(23:38):
of funding. But Republicans are not the country club party
as they used to be.

Speaker 14 (23:44):
You've got basically a total reversal of what it was.

Speaker 31 (23:46):
Democrats are the party of all these wealthy folks, and
Republicans are the party of the workingmen.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
And it shows up, and he says, unless the Federal
Election Commission acts, well, this spending is only going to
get worse. It's now five thirty four. Donald Trump took
a swing through the battleground states back to Pennsylvania, hosting
a town hall in Oaks last night.

Speaker 17 (24:11):
She's not for this job. Everybody knows it.

Look, we're running against her.

Speaker 10 (24:15):
We're running against a very powerful and a very corrupt machine.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Trump campaigns in Georgia today. Remember how the left would
lose its collective mind at the locker up chance against
Hillary Clinton in the twenty sixteen race. Well, this is
what happens at a Kamala Harris rally.

(25:09):
North Carolina continuing recovery efforts after hurricanes Helene and Milton,
even as tension builds between Joe Biden operatives in the
White House and the Harris campaign over her feud with
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 33 (25:23):
Folks from the White House, they've been increasingly frustrated that
Harris's campaign keeps putting the President in a tough spot,
like when she publicly picked a fight with Florida Governor
Ron DeSantis over not taking her calls. I spoke with
three sources in the president's orbit about all that. They
agreed it was a dumb thing for Harris to do,
and that Desantas and Biden had in coordinating on the response.
Biden was not going to dump on the Florida governor

(25:45):
whose state was about to be bumbled by a storm.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
Ooxius Jackie Heinrich. There, Dessanta's announced that ninety seven percent
of his state does have power back again, just under
two hundred thousand remaining without power. The death toll from
Helene in North Carolina alone, though, is now approaching one hundred.
That number expected to grow with many people still missing,
specially in the western part of North Carolina. Celebrity crowd

(26:12):
was all in on helping Louisiana after Katrina in two
thousand and five, but even mostly absent after Helene and Milton.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Sure simply put, Hollywood has been a wall.

Nineteen years ago, it was a who's who of Hollywood

I'll maybe I do that's Christian Toto, host of the
Hollywood in Toto podcast, who says support for victims would
hurt Kamala Harris to.

Speaker 34 (26:40):
Point out the government's flaws and the coverage to point
out that we need some celebrity cash to help those
people in need, just as a direct criticism of what
the Biden.

Speaker 8 (26:48):

that he made, according to this ABC News IPSOS poll,
is the most popular proposal of either candidate that's been made,

(28:38):
including President Trump, with an eighty five percent approval rating.
Survey of two thousand and six and thirty one adults
found that Trump's promise to end taxes levied on Social
Security benefits is the number one most popular proposal that
he's made. Are we surprised by this? No, of course not.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
He did it. He said it again in Israelly his
town hall last night, and he prefaced it with you
know I'm young.

burst out laughing, and then he said, but he was like,
it's entertaining. The guy knows how to entertain. And he said,
we're going to look out for the old folks.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well, and I think most people, if you realistically look
at it, you say to yourself, listen, I paid taxes
on Social Security my entire life to get Social Security.
You've been working for fifty years and I've paid Social
Security taxes every one of those fifty years. Why should
I have to pay taxes on something already paid taxes? Hunt,
It's double taxation. So I think it's pretty easy proposal

Speaker 22 (31:39):
We had record heat yesterday and I suspect we'll see
some records set again today because everybody's in the nineties
this afternoon here in the middle of October, when temperatures
are supposed to be in the eighties instead. But tonight
we do cool down mid fifties to mid sixties. Tonight,
we got a nice dose of fall tomorrow, about a

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Little stunt I guess, for lack of a better term,
that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer pulled with her little dorito video,
Oh no, it's just it's just it's a dorito meme thing.
It's got nothing to do with the Holy Communion. Well,
I don't think a lot of people are buying that.
More on that story coming up in just a moment.
I've seen the video. I could go either way as
as far as what they were trying to do, But

(32:51):
knowing how evil Gretchen Whitmer is, I'm going to probably
lean towards mocking the Holy Communion. More on that coming up. First,

When we like to listen at the electric Uth Radio
seven forty KTRH five fifty two is our time here
in Houston's morning news.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
So in the video, just to reset this. In the video,
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whipper is handfeeding like a communion wafer
adurrito to a feminist on her knees, on her.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
Knees, Her knees had tilted back. I mean, it was
the prayerful expression on her face. It was disgusting.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, here's how they here's how they talked about it.
On The Great Gutfield Show last night. Emily Combagno was
one of the She's very religious was one of the
people on the panel. She's obviously upset by it. Governor
Gretchen is leaving Americans.

Speaker 17 (35:18):
Wretchen.

Speaker 38 (35:19):
Our video of the day comes from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
That's her on the left.

Speaker 39 (35:25):
She recently appeared in a bizarre Instagram post with feminist
with a feminist influencer, and apparently it's supposed to make
you want to vote for Kamala Harris. I guess they're
spoofing a TikTok meme where friends feed each other and
staring at the camera. But many, many people see this
a perverted homage to the Holy Communion.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
As a person of faith, how does this make you feel?

Speaker 40 (35:46):
Yeah, that criticism is totally founded and legitimate. I found
this revolting in just many ways, like obviously just visually.
But the irony to me is that think this was
supposed to help somehow Vice President Harris and Walls's campaign, right,
And the irony is that Whitmer could have actually made
strides in Michigan, where by the way, right now, Trump

(36:07):
is resoundingly beating Harris in the polls by three points,
which seems like not a lot, but compared to four
years ago. It's massive, and this is what they think
is going to help a self labeled feminist influencer.

Speaker 11 (36:20):
What is that.

Speaker 41 (36:25):
You are in any way you're made.

Speaker 40 (36:28):
Feminists, then you would actually have nothing to do with
that disgusting party that only is interested in eradicating female
babies and also the female individual thought. So I find
this laughable on so many levels. And then putting on
the Camo Harris Wolves hat does not make her a
person of the people. It does not make them more
appealing to people that in extension of our a bloc

(36:49):
just simply believe in common sense and lower taxes and
having our paychecks go further and providing for our families
enjoying a bit of freedom on the side.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
All this is is trash. But that's the whole point
that the Democrat.

Speaker 40 (37:01):
Party right now will only do what they think in
these theatrics will pull in a couple of votes from
the collegiate, the TikTok influencer.

Speaker 8 (37:08):
Yeah, this is us.

Speaker 40 (37:08):
They have no idea what the real American is thinking
and feeling, which again.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
To this is just discussed. I think the real American
is figuring out, if they haven't already, that the Left
is not really anti religion. They're against any religion that
goes above the party. To them, the party is the religion.
The causes are like climate change, those are the religious

(37:33):
things to them, those are the things they worship, because
none of those things elevate themselves to the party or
go above the party. The thing they fear the most
about organized religion is that those of us who believe
in that higher power realize that there's nothing above it.
There's nothing above it, no government above it, no party
above it, no man, woman, or child above it. And

(37:56):
they can't stand that idea. Five fifty six is our

Joe Biden, they have merged again. They've both been accused
of plagiarism. Now is it just the regime around them?
There are twenty seven instances of plagiarism that have been
discovered Austrian professor Stephen Weber in Harris's two thousand and

(40:05):
nine book about policing.

Speaker 7 (40:09):
According to a new investigation, the current vice president even
lifted material from Wikipedia.

Speaker 6 (40:17):
Uh oh, that was Katie Rh's book. Sexton Harris campaigned
in Erie, Pennsylvania last night. Before that, she talked to
podcaster Roland Martin and that has us scratching our heads again.

Speaker 42 (40:31):
I talked with somebody wants to say, you know, if
you just look at where the stars are in the sky,
don't look them as just random things. If you just
look at them as points, look at the constellation, what
does it show you?

Speaker 6 (40:46):
Okay? She was on a roll yesterday Donald Trump with
the town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 10 (40:55):
We have the worst president and the worst vice president.

Speaker 26 (40:58):
In the history of our country by far.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
And let me tell you she is worse than him.

Speaker 37 (41:03):
Hm hm.

Speaker 6 (41:05):
He added, Harris is more dangerous than Joe Biden, and
Biden is smarter than she is. We continue to hear
how close the polls are, but CNN's top data analysts
admitted last week Trump wins in a blowout if this
happens again.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
And Shara, what is it that has to happen If
the polls are off.

Speaker 20 (41:27):
On Trump the way they have been in twenty sixteen
and twenty twenty, this time anywhere close than it represents
a significant Trump victory, well of a three hundred elect
twelve votes.

Speaker 17 (41:36):
That is pulling.

Speaker 35 (41:37):
Guru Robert Kahley with the Trafalgar Group, who adds.

Speaker 20 (41:41):
And it really comes down to are they doing a
better job of measuring Trump voters or not? And now
I would argue they are not.

Speaker 35 (41:48):
Kahley calls the hidden Trump vote significant.

The state of Florida dealing with a gasoline shortage after
Hurricane Milton, but Governor Ron de Sandans is taking steps
to resolve it.

Speaker 13 (42:18):
We have fuel for the public, not even charging you
free free gas.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
Imagine that a lot of gas stations, about twenty five
percent of Florida gas stations ran out of supply or
had to close because of the power. He is offering
residents ten free gallons of gasoline. The state deploying two
point four million gallons that they hold in reserve. Death
toll from Hurricane Milton twenty three. Death toll from Hurricane

but they only did so by changing the goals.

DPS arrests a large group of illegal aliens in Maverick
County yesterday. Among them were twenty two immigrants from Egypt

(43:55):
and Turkey labeled as special interest. Those arrest is latest
example of how our safety is at risk with this
Biden Harris regime.

Speaker 43 (44:08):
So much of our safety is directly tied to the
thousands and thousands of criminals and the gangs that are
here in America that Biden and Kamala Harris have let in.

Speaker 6 (44:18):
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick there, he was on Fox
and we have a local TV station here in Houston
reporting that a suspected trained De Aragua gang member arrested
here last week. Jor Dennis, I can't say the name.

Biden Harris economy, Well, what do we have? We have
a job market facing a serious skills gap.

Speaker 23 (44:51):
The wave of early retirements over the past few years
has companies scrambling to find and train replacements. Robert Vaughn
with the placement firm Robert haf says this trend is
cause for concern across industries.

Speaker 18 (45:02):
We've kind of seen that happen since twenty twenty, where
there are a lot of people out. They weren't forcing retirement,
they decided to retire early, and so you're still seeing
that skills gap that hasn't ticked up.

Speaker 23 (45:10):
More than half of Houston companies say they're actively upskilling
new employees, while one in four are bringing back retirees

Street continuing after a hearing in Gallison County DISTRICTORD was
postponed yesterday.

Speaker 41 (45:32):
The problem for the city is that they code date
that if a city wants to close a street, they
must get permission from all of the real property owners
on the street. And these property owners are pretty adamant
if they never gave permission for.

Speaker 14 (45:47):
This to happen.

Speaker 6 (45:49):
Holly Hanson with the Texas and the city wants to
keep Sixth Street closed to traffic, but local business owners

Speaker 2 (46:12):
This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
I've never prided myself in having a very good sense
of smell, which comes in handy sometimes because there's some
things I don't really want to smell, but other times
the kind of go do you smell that? To go, no,
what smoke? It smells like smoke. It probably be good
to have a good sense of smell when it comes
to smoke. But I did see the story, I thought
this is interesting. Human sense of smell faster than previously

(46:39):
thought According to a new study, your nose may be
more powerful than you think. In a single sniff, the
human sense of smell can distinguish odors within a fraction
of a second, working at a level of sensitivity that's
on par with how our brains perceive color, refuting the
wildly held belief that old faction is our slow scent.

(47:01):
So we smell quickly, it doesn't take long for us
to decipher what the smell is, which is you know, again,
we don't have a dog's sense of smell, but we
can smell pretty good. Humans also can discern between various
sequences of odors, distinguishing a sequence of A before B
from B before A when the interval between odorant A

(47:24):
and odorant B is merely sixty milliseconds. So evidently we
can detect multiple smells quickly, which is again a lot
more than we thought we could do.

Speaker 14 (47:37):
Now.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Then I saw this story, I thought, maybe this, this
is more useful sense that attract roaches. If you have
a coca roach, lookukaracha problem. Food obviously is the number
one thing. Almost any kind of food will attract a cockroach.
Moisture came in second darkness. They like dark moist things,

(48:00):
smell like food, cardboard attracts roaches. The king matter, So
like if you have an organic garden kind of a
thing and you in your mulching stuff that attracts roaches.
Pet food attracts roaches. Scented home candles in home decor.
Didn't know that that attracts roaches. So you don't want

(48:21):
to have any of those things. I guess if you
want to keep the roaches away. Six ' ten Time

It's always scary when I lead with that. Isn't it
something that smells bad that you like to smell anyway?

Speaker 10 (48:32):
You know?

Speaker 4 (48:32):
Like I like the smell of that kind of a
burning iron welding smell. I like that, and I I
like the smell of gasoline. See that's what I'm saying.
There's weird stuff that people like. The wood in my
ghetto house has these little musty smells, and I absolutely
love it.

Speaker 5 (48:46):
Somebody out there has that too. Talk to us on
the app.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
I can see, I hang on. I can see by
Sheriff's expression there's something weird that she likes the smell
of shelling.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
No, I was questioning whether you like spray pain.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
Oh oh, that's a good one too. Let's go right.

Speaker 42 (49:06):

Speaker 5 (49:06):
You gotta be careful with that too.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
Let's roll over, dude, Let's roll over to JFK. Here, Shara,
you've got will Clayton Parkway cleared.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
That wreck. It's out of the way. You could go
either way to the airport.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
Now we've got this east text deal kt as goofy
as we are. K GRH listeners were the first to
know that your east text wreck is there in nineteen sixty.
It's a left lane. Thanks for our callers. Look at
those backups. Now we're plumb backed up from Porter and
a forty minute drag North Freeway just a little a
little tight around the Shepherd curb.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
Otherwise we're looking good from spring.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
I'm Skymike in the classic Buick GMC traffic Center.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
What do you smell, Terry.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
From our KTRH stop tax Defenders twenty four our weather center.
Terry's here. She smells teen spirit. That's which he smells.
Can I ask you about what is going to become
nd Dean or could become nay Dean?

Speaker 6 (49:58):
Yes, you can ask me about that.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
What can you tell me about it?

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Well?

Speaker 22 (50:04):
Right now, it's an area of low pressure out in
the middle of the Atlantic. It's like halfway between Africa
and the Windward Island, so it's a good distance away,
not organized. Over the next seven days, there's about a
fifty to fifty shot that it will become something with

(50:24):
a name, and at this point, from what I've been seeing,
it doesn't really organize very much. There's a lot of
things that happen this time of year that tend to
prevent these systems, especially ones out in the Atlantic, from
getting better organized. Dryer air, a lot of winds, hear,
these colfronts that move through the United States. Those tend

(50:47):
to help to keep any sort of developing system away.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
So we'll see if it gets named.

Speaker 22 (50:54):
It's kind of a fifty to fifty shot, so we're
watching it and seeing if we do end up with
a Nadine at some point point. Back here at home,
we're dealing with record heat today, but after today, there's
a big drop in temperature and it feels like fall.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Today.

same as yesterday, but cooler tonight, mid fifties to low
sixties tonight. Tomorrow, it is a sunny day, breezy at times,

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Well, certainly they're spending billions on this presidential election. Fifteen
point nine billion dollars is what the projected total is
going to be. According to the twenty twenty four Federal
Elections Report. Adjusted for inflation, this year's political expenditures will
constitute the second most expensive election cycle ever. Jeffrey Lord
joins US political commentator for Newsmax and American Spectator. Clearly

(54:05):
advertising works, Jeffrey, That's why they spend so much money
on it. Are you there?

Speaker 6 (54:12):
There?

Speaker 14 (54:12):
You are here in Mike Love, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
How much money you think they spend in Pennsylvania?

Speaker 14 (54:20):
Oh God, I have no idea, but millions, without doubt.
You know they both candidates are practically living here. You know,
you're blank and they're back in the state. President Trump
was just here for a town hall. Whether it was
yesterday or the day before last night. Yeah, President Obama

(54:42):
was in Pittsburgh to a campaign for for Harris Harris
has been here. I mean, it's over and over and
over again, and I understand why. I mean, you know, Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's like Texas in the sense that it's always it's
always important. The for Pennsylvania this year, it truly is

(55:04):
dead center in this election. We have nineteen electoral votes
up for grabs here and so they keep coming back
over and over and over again. And wow, you know,
I mean, I've been to a few of the Trump
rallies myself, and Harris is no slouch and getting around

(55:25):
the states.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
So we'll see.

Speaker 14 (55:27):
I honestly couldn't tell you which way is it going
to go. And then, of course, as with you, we
have a hot US Senate race here. Our Democratic Senator
Bob Casey has been there for about I think three terms,
and his dad and this is what makes us so

(55:47):
difficult for a Republican. His dad, Robert P. Casey Senior,
no longer with us, was a very popular governor of Pennsylvania.

Speaker 6 (55:56):
Yeah, able to hold office on the name alone. But
I'm curious about the billions of dollars that are going
into races in this election. How where does this end?
Because we don't even know where all that money is
coming from. Yeah, we toss out it's billionaires here in
packs there, But where are the packs getting their money?

(56:16):
Are they just a money laundering operation?

Speaker 8 (56:18):
For what's what?

Speaker 6 (56:19):
Globalist? Is it coming? We know now we're learning UA
is contributing, we have foreign entities that are contributing.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Is how legal is that?

Speaker 6 (56:28):
Where do we stand in all that as a country?

Speaker 17 (56:30):
Well, I think it's I think it's legal.

Speaker 14 (56:33):
But but you're right, I mean, it does come from
all kinds of places out there, you know, billionaires and
millionaires who are given all sorts of money. It is,
you know, you've got all these packs and all of
this kind of thing.

Speaker 21 (56:50):
It really is.

Speaker 14 (56:52):
I mean, the money is just gushing in here. If
you drive around the state as I have done in
the last few weeks, there are ortuitously Trump signs everywhere.
You do see Harris Walt signs, but nowhere close to
as many as you see with the Trump signs. So
that is a hopeful, hopeful sign. But man, this could

(57:17):
go either way, there's no question.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
Yeah, the margin raised it then in Pennsylvania and I
guess all the battleground states. But it's been amazing, Jeffrey,
how the national polls don't really reflect what Trump was doing,
for example, in the last election twenty sixteen, and in
the last election he's doing better than he was doing
in either one of those two in the national poles.

Speaker 14 (57:38):
Yes, I think that's true, although I will say this,
I'm always skeptical of national polls because we don't elect
presidents that way, right, We elect them state by state
by state, So you know, he could be leading by
all kinds of margans. International polls don't excuse me. The
question is going to be what's he doing in Pennsylvania,

(58:00):
or what's he doing in New York or what have you.
And speaking in New York, I think it's very smart
on Trump's part. He has been campaigning in New York,
He's been campaigning in New Jersey, in California the other day.
He's not going to carry those states, but what he
is doing is campaigning in states where his appearance could

(58:24):
make the difference in terms of electing members of the House.
And that could make a big difference once assuming he
is elected.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
Well, and even if he isn't, it's still going to
make a big difference. Jeffrey, thank you. Jeffrey Lord, the
local commentator for Newsmax and American Spectator. It's six twenty seven.

KTRH is a new sponsored by Moral Mechanical. Top story
this hour. Texas Senator Ted Cruz Democrat Congressman Colin Allread
debating tonight in Dallas. Cruz leads allready according to the pollsters,
by three points, and SMU's cal Jilson says Alread's campaign strategy, well,

(01:01:41):
it has been very different. Than what we saw from
Beto O'Rourke in twenty eighteen.

Speaker 30 (01:01:47):
All Ready is Sam, I'm going to try to drive
up the urban vote as much as I can and
not worry so much about the small counties from the Panhandle.
We'll see whether that strategy does any better for him
than Beto's did for him six years.

Speaker 6 (01:02:00):
Yeah, Cruz Beato Rouric by less than three points. No
Texas Democrat has won a statewide election since nineteen ninety four.
By the way, Cruz was has criticized a super pac
that's aligned with Mitch McConnell, you know, the Rhino, accusing
it of withholding financial support in his race, calling it
punishment because he stood up to the minority leader. That

(01:02:24):
pack has four hundred million dollars at its disposal. It
could make a difference. It swung elections in twenty twenty two.
As you recall, this federal election is said to be
the second most expensive ever, with an estimated fifteen point
nine billion dollars being spent.

Speaker 45 (01:02:40):
A nickel here, a nickel there over the years, and
all of a sudden, we're spending a small nation's GDP
on elections.

Speaker 31 (01:02:46):
I think this began the turn when there was a
story out that if you paid X amount in the
Clinton era you got to sleep.

Speaker 14 (01:02:52):
In the lake in bedroom.

Speaker 45 (01:02:53):
Jeffrey Lord of Newsmax says, the real start of this
overspending began in the Reagan era, and it's not showing
any signs of slow and down.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):

In the first week. We will set up a commission.

Speaker 10 (01:03:31):
We're going to find out because so many people in
your same position, they want to know what happened, Why
did it happen to their son or daughter?

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
Trump in Atlanta today, no answers from Kamala during her
rally in Eerie last night Pennsylvania again just insults Donald Trump.

Speaker 9 (01:03:50):
I think, in our collective opinion, certainly mine is an
unseious man, but the consequences of him ever being president
again are brutally serious.

Speaker 6 (01:04:04):
Her supporters broke into a chat of lock him up.
She called them a collective mind. They mean they're single minded.
One kamal is sitting down with Fox's Britt Baar tomorrow night.
Trump on True Social wrote that he would have preferred
a quote more hard hitting journalist. It is now six

(01:04:26):
doing the heavy lifting the efforts to get their citizens
back on their feet after Hurricanes Milton and Helene. And
they've got new criticism of the federal FEMA response coming
out now.

Speaker 17 (01:04:38):
It took well over three days to get any response.

Speaker 36 (01:04:42):
One particular county that I represent, it took six days
before we saw any sign of activity from FEMA.

Speaker 6 (01:04:51):
And you've got federal troops just a few minutes flight
away North Carolina Congressman Chuck Edwards there he was on Fox.
As of this morning. Power outages in Florida. They're down
now to about two hundred thousand homes. The Hurricane Helene
death toll now at two hundred and fifty, expected to
rise as more of those missing are found and where

(01:05:12):
is the Hollywood crowd. Anyway, during this recovery and the
one to two punch of these storms.

Speaker 34 (01:05:20):
Hollywood often rallies to really good causes, and we saw
that with Hurricane Katrina, and it was just an explosion.

Speaker 8 (01:05:26):
And we're looking at what's going on right now.

Speaker 17 (01:05:29):
You just don't see anything like that response.

Speaker 6 (01:05:32):
Yeah, Christian Toto there from Hollywood in toto dot com,
who notes that any kind of outpouring would point out
the failed response by the Biden Harris regime and FEMA.
That said, Country music stars Luke Comb's Eric Church. They're

We're talking about the smart small farms, you know, rather
than the traditional ear tags that they use.

Speaker 10 (01:06:10):
Now.

Speaker 16 (01:06:12):
The Department of Agriculture says it's about safety, but it's
actually about control.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
This is just overkill.

Speaker 36 (01:06:17):
This is just another way government can crack your business.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
I mean, it's just too much.

Speaker 14 (01:06:21):
It's too much, big brother, it's not needed.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
It's government overkill.

Speaker 16 (01:06:25):
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller told KTRH this new rule
is going to wind up hurting small family farmers.

Speaker 36 (01:06:30):
Ninety plus percent of the farms in the United States

Not that you should bet the farm on this many
stretch of the imagination. After all, it's the weather. But
Noah and the farmer's almanacs seem to agree on what
kind of winter we're going to have. The Noah twenty
twenty four to twenty five winter forecast is out. It
predicts exactly what the Farmer's Almanac is predicted for Texas,

(01:07:37):
especially here in Southeast Texas, that it'll be well above
normal as far as temperatures and below normal as far
as precipitation. So we're likely going to have a warmer,
drier winter than what we would normally have. That's true
of all of South Texas, also South Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,

(01:08:00):
South Carolina, North Carolina, right right into southeast Virginia and Florida.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
Of course, are you quoting Noah there?

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
Noah, Yeah, this is the Noah map right here.

Speaker 6 (01:08:09):
You know, I met with my irrigation guy and hell,
it's still over the weekend, and he told he quoted
Farmer's almac as being warmer and wetter this winter.

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Okay, but it.

Speaker 6 (01:08:20):
Depends which almanac, Which Farmer's almanac.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
That's right, there's the Farmers Almanac and then Farmers Almanac.

Then the other the there's two farmers almanacs and uses.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):

looks like, you know, the north north.

in the history of our country by far.

And let me tell you she is worse than him.

Speaker 6 (01:22:09):
Harris more dangerous than Joe Biden. That Biden is, he said,
And he said, but Biden is actually smarter than Harris.
We can continue to hear how close the polls are,
but CNN's top data analysts admitted last week Trump wins
in a blowout. If this is happening again.

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
And sure, what is it that has to happen.

Speaker 14 (01:22:35):
If the polls are off.

Speaker 20 (01:22:36):
On Trump the way they have been in twenty sixteen
and twenty twenty, this time anywhere close than it represents
a significant Trump victory, well of a three hundred elect
twelve votes.

That is pulling Guru Robert Kahaley with the Trafalgar Group,

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
Seven of Leaders Our time here in Houston's morning news,
Right share reports, and I have questions, is I always
do about these things, because you know, I kind of
care about how much money we how many taxpayer dollars
we spend on things, and what we get for what
we spend.

Speaker 6 (01:26:36):
You know, I see the news story and I and
all those numbers go into my head. And then when
we do headline is like one sentence, I think, oh
my gosh, it's missing.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
This is an I forty five widening project.

Speaker 6 (01:26:47):
Yeah, it breaks ground this week. You're going to do
some uh virtual meetings, you know, public hearing meetings.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
I saw the highway sign on the way into work
this morning that they're doing that. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:26:57):
Yeah, but you know it's like at five o'clock. So
who's not on the highway at five o'lock.

Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
You're gonna get it. You're going to be stuck in
a nine forty five traffic gym.

Speaker 6 (01:27:07):
That's more information than you'd ask for. But it is
a nine billion dollar project to widen I forty five
downtown to the North Belt, not North north Belt. It's
eighteen miles, eighteen miles, five hundred million per mile, nine billion,
eighteen miles, and that's that works out to five hundred

(01:27:28):
million per mile.

Speaker 3 (01:27:29):
He let me, I'm clutching by your heart. They used
to say it costs a million dollars a mile a
mile to build a road, just pure construction.

Speaker 39 (01:27:38):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:27:38):
Part of the problem is they're going to have to
take out businesses.

Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
Churches, so we have land acquisition.

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
Well you can't, you can't widen, right, you know they can.
They can do it. I'm in a domain. But you
got to pay for it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
And I'm guessing there's probably bridges involved. It's not just roadway.
There's bridges involved.

Speaker 6 (01:27:56):
Right, Well, yeah, that means in all the infrastructure in
terms not just the concrete and stealing all that. We're
talking about, the lights, the electricity, the drainage.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
Right, you know. But still eighteen miles, nine billion dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:28:13):
A nine billion dollar project. They call it Downtown to
the North Belt and I looked, I mapped it eighteen miles.

Speaker 3 (01:28:19):
Some extra lanes are they adding?

Speaker 10 (01:28:20):
Do we know?

Speaker 6 (01:28:21):
I have no idea. You have to take part in
that five o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
There be more than one in each direction that they're
adding for that kind of Bundy seven to ten diver
traffic and weather together.

Speaker 5 (01:28:32):
It would cost to retrain drivers though.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
That well, first of all, it's an impossible task. It
is a lifetime commitment, Skuy Mike. So it is pricey.

Speaker 4 (01:28:41):
It's not the lack of lanes, it's the lack of brains.
If we would just get in the right lanes here,
let's do Katie Freeway inbound Washington Avenue. Let's see, I've
got a wreck here right in front of Denny's. One, two, three,
right lanes blocked. We're backed up from IKEA. Put that together.
It's an extra nine minutes going this way. We just
cleared East Freeway, Mercury out of the way. We're a

in a data analyst is predicting a major Trump victory
if the polls are as wrong as they were in
the last two elections. Robert Cahley joins us. He's a

(01:33:25):
chief pollster and founder of the Valgar Group. I guess
that's assuming that the polls were way off, and they
were certainly in twenty sixteen they were way way off. Robert,
Why do you think they were so far off?

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
Hello? I don't think he can hear me.

Speaker 21 (01:33:45):
I think, oh sorry. I think the finding is they
don't measure the top vote very well.

Speaker 14 (01:33:52):
You know, we're talking about.

Speaker 17 (01:33:53):
There being a hidden vote. I'm a big believer in that.

Speaker 21 (01:33:56):
We found that in twenty sixteen that people who were
just you know, for whatever reason, especially when speaking to
a live person, I felt like they didn't want to
say they were for Trump because they didn't want to
be judged by that live person.

Speaker 17 (01:34:12):
Asking him the question.

Speaker 21 (01:34:15):
So that was part of it, is that it's hard,
you know, to get answers out of them. In twenty
twenty it was quite as bad, but it still was
a factor of that that they're.

Speaker 48 (01:34:29):
Hard to poll, they're suspicious, and they already got in
the sense that they were going to There were you know,
there were some kind of a you know, problems with
everything that was coming out about you know, Russian disinformation,
like you're saying the lavetop and all that kind of stuff.
People are just still kind of yeah, it's you're about

(01:34:50):
saying they were prompted, and you have to undersay, these
people are harder to pull it.

Speaker 21 (01:34:54):
They also were there were a lot of people who
voted irregularly. We picked that up in twenty sixty in
the primaries, and so we were able to integrate those
type of people who voted very sporadically into we developed
what they looked like. We were like fifty seven characteristics.

(01:35:15):
I mean, one of them was a fishing life of
all things, and like if you shared thirty of them,
we said, you're a potential voter even though you're not
a regular motor So.

Speaker 6 (01:35:24):
You get lumped into a group.

Speaker 49 (01:35:26):
Yeah, right, because there's so many different factors that made
up these people who just I mean they were coming
out of the wood work on the primaries that didn't
know how to use the machine or anything, hadn't butter
ten fifteen years, So that was part of it, and
in twenty twenty.

Speaker 14 (01:35:41):
Was that way too.

Speaker 6 (01:35:43):
I would argue that nobody wants to have the FBI
knocking on their door taking part in all of their
Internet communications. Yeah, this Justice Department is still hunting down
people who had anything. They didn't even have to be
in DC. But if they were even in the area
of Washington, DC on January sixth, they're still at risk.

(01:36:05):
So why would they tell somebody that they don't know
how they're going to vote?

Speaker 21 (01:36:11):
And that's what I was getting to twenty twenty four.

Speaker 20 (01:36:14):
It is not shame.

Speaker 21 (01:36:16):
It is not you know, it's fear that they are.
When we call them, they say things like who you
call them?

Speaker 14 (01:36:25):
Who's is four?

Speaker 21 (01:36:26):
What are you doing with this information? And they're very
nervous because again, like you said, they don't want to
be on the list.

Speaker 20 (01:36:34):
I mean they've heard the stories.

Speaker 21 (01:36:35):
People that took atm withdrawals in DC that happened to
be up there at the time of January sixth, it
weren't anywhere near the Capitol all being investiga, I mean,
it's like they're.

Speaker 17 (01:36:47):
Nervous and they don't know. You know how when you
talk to a really.

Speaker 21 (01:36:53):
Strong gun rights person and they say that they opposed
gun registration because the only reason the register gun just
when they decide to take them to have a list
where they are. That's how people feel about this.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
All right, Robert, this Robert, we're just about out of time.
I want to get to this before we let you go, though,
And that is based on all that. What do you
think happens with this election? What are the numbers telling you?

Speaker 21 (01:37:16):
Well, we had some little devices we used to help
measure and one of the public ones we talked about
is asking who your neighbors are going to vote for.
We are seeing bigger numbers, our biggest number in sixteen
with Ohio at eight percent.

Speaker 14 (01:37:31):
We have multiple.

Speaker 21 (01:37:35):
Battleground states that are over ten percent for Trump. Has
said a neighbors vote for Trump, and that is the
device that lets people suggest how they're really going to
vote without having to tell.

Speaker 3 (01:37:46):
You on the phone. Wow. Okay, that's amazing. Can't wait
to see if that drives.

Speaker 20 (01:37:50):
The case may be right on CNN.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
All right, all right, Robert, thank you, appreciate your time.

oil prices plunge below seventy five dollars a barrel. This
after their report that Israel will hold off in attacking

Iranian oil facilities. West Texas Intermediate is down more than
four percent this morning. Goldman Sachs and Bank of America
shares are rising. Goldman's profits stored forty five percent of
the third quarter on a surprise increase in equity trading
revenue and a resurgent investment banking business. Bank of America's
Wall Street operations perform better than expected. Same for City

Speaker 6 (01:40:58):
Texas Senator Ted cru He will be debating his challenger,
Congressman Colin Allread tonight in Dallas. And what the pollsters
claim is a tight race.

Speaker 11 (01:41:09):
The latest polls favorite Cruise, but it's within the margin
of error.

Speaker 30 (01:41:12):
My turches, this is probably about a three point race
and Cruise's favor at this.

Speaker 11 (01:41:17):
Point SMUs cal Jilson. There, remember Cruse had a nine
point lead in pulling done over the summer.

Speaker 30 (01:41:22):
Closing a gap when you're down nine, getting it to
sixth is one thing, But when you're down three, getting
it to zero is a completely different deal.

Don't forget when she was asked earlier what she would
change from what Joe Biden did. Remember Joe Biden said
he and Harris are singing from the same song book
himself last week, and Harris said earlier she wouldn't change
a thing about the Biden administration. She will be sitting
down with Fox News. It's a taped interview with the

recovery efforts continuing after the hurricane Selena and Milton, even
as tensions building between Joe Biden operatives in the Harris
campaign over her feud with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 33 (01:44:02):
Folks from the White House, they've been increasingly frustrated that
Harris's campaign keeps putting the President in a tough spot,
like when she publicly picked a fight with Florida Governor
Ron de Santis over not taking her calls. I spoke
with three sources in the President's orbit about all that
they agreed it was a dumb thing for Harris to do,
and that Desantas and Biden had been coordinating on the response.

Speaker 3 (01:44:21):
Biden was not going to dump on the Florida.

Speaker 33 (01:44:23):
Governor whose state was about to be bumbled by a storm.

Speaker 6 (01:44:26):
Fox's Jackie Heinrich there now Desanta's announcing ninety seven percent
of his state has its power once again, just under
two hundred thousand remaining without lights. Presumably it may be
a long time for them because they may be linked
up to the solar panel field they got totally destroyed
by tornadoes in Florida. Now, the death toll from Milton

A, Georgia sheriff up for reelection in his county, seen
on bodycam videos asking his deputies for help after Burger
King got his order wrong. Don't hey, hang on, don't
don't don't. Cops always get incensed when people call nine
to one one to report that day. Yeah, I met McDonald's.

(01:47:29):
They burned my fries or whatever whatever the thing is.
So why is this sheriff calling for backup because burger
King got his order wrong. The the footage comes from
March of last year. It's just now showing up was
obtained by WSB Atlanta last week, also posted on Facebook

(01:47:51):
by the sheriff's opponent in the upcoming election. There you go,
showing deputies responding to a Burger King and approaching Cobb
County Sheriff Craig Owens, Sr. Who is in his truck.
He tells the deputies on the body cam, I need
to get I need. All I need is the owner's
name or whoever owns this damn facility or the manager.

(01:48:13):
So he sends He sends his deputies in because he
was not he wasn't playing clothes, he was not in uniform,
he was not driving an official vehicle at the time,
so he sends his deputies in to get the information
he wants. No word on you know what happened after
that if you called the manager or what the story is. Listen,
we've all had an order wrong and a fast food joint.

(01:48:35):
We've all had people working at a fast food point
that they didn't give a rip who we got angry with,
but how many? And you may have even asked for
the manager's name, But that that just a bit of
a misuse of power doing to think of you're a
sheriff to send deputies in to try strong arm people
for the manager's name. Seven forty time for traffic and

part meet data analysts might be right. That will be
a major Trump victory. Even NBC, their NBC poll has

(01:51:47):
completely flipped around as far as what's going on. They've
got Trump in the lead. They haven't had, never had
Trump in the lead during this whole thing. We'll have

Seven fifty two is our time here on Houston's morning News.
Right the latest from MBC polling shows that Kamala's lead
has vanished. Here's more on that polling data. With some
respect from Jesse Waters. On the Five, we asked.

Speaker 12 (01:54:02):
About President Biden's policies, are they helping or hurting your family?
Just a quarter of voters said they're helping. There we
have said they're hurting. And then here's the interesting twist.
We also asked folks think back to when Donald Trump
was president, did his policies help or hurt your family?
And look at the difference forty four percent helping, thirty
one hurting. Trump's the retrospective, you would say, opinion of

(01:54:25):
Trump's presidency among voters, arguably higher now than when he
was president. We keep talking, hearing about the October surprise?

Speaker 3 (01:54:33):
Is the October surprise? The polling?

Speaker 50 (01:54:35):
Could they I thought it was the hurricanes. But the
polling's a mess. If you're a Democrat, if you're a
Republican like myself.

Speaker 3 (01:54:43):
I told you so. Didn't say a red wave, but
I told you so.

Speaker 50 (01:54:47):
The polling and the betting markets are a disaster. Barack
Obama's scolding Black Americans.

Speaker 3 (01:54:52):
She's raised a billion dollars and is losing.

Speaker 50 (01:54:54):
I think they're stealing her money because you know, they
get a cut when they do these adviys on television.
The media strategy, they've changed it. She's doing Brett Behar show.
I think Doug wants to be one lucky guy trying
to get booked and outnumbered. And she shot the whole
rationale for her candidcy right in the heart when she
said that I wouldn't do anything differently. And now she's

(01:55:16):
looking for ways to separate herself from Joe Biden. But
she's such a machine politician, she doesn't know how to
do that. She's always just said yes and gotten ahead.
She's always agreed with the party boss and gotten promoted
and now she's the party boss. But she's still loyal
to Joe because she knows she didn't earn it. And
so she's scared because she's never had to make her

(01:55:37):
own decision.

Speaker 3 (01:55:38):
And she's afraid of Biden.

Speaker 50 (01:55:40):
Because no one else with a Biden and any Democrats,
it's criticized Biden. Look at Eric Adams, So she's nervous
about criticizing him.

Speaker 3 (01:55:48):
Trump doesn't need to do anything more. What else does
he have to prove? She's trying to bait him, and.

Speaker 50 (01:55:53):
It looks desperate because she's down and she knows it.
She's gotten seven debates under his belt. I mean, they've
raided his house, they've leaked his tax returns.

Speaker 17 (01:56:02):
What else do we need to see?

Speaker 50 (01:56:05):
Honestly, we've seen too much from Donald Trump. We know
exactly what he's going to do and when he's going
to do it. He's now wiser. He's not gonna then
agree to a debate that's just gonna have no upside.
He smells a trap. It's not worth it. And he
already agreed to the Fox to beate. He agreed to
two debates.

Speaker 17 (01:56:25):
She said no to the.

Speaker 3 (01:56:26):
Fox to be and now she wants another one. Sorry,
it's too late.

Speaker 30 (01:56:30):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:56:31):
I think it's very telling Shia that she's willing to
go on Fox. Now, yeah, that to me, that's very
telling you if.

Speaker 6 (01:56:37):
Yeah, it's bread there.

Speaker 3 (01:56:39):
He's a never trumper, I get, I get that, but still,
I mean, it's taking a chance he may actually ask
a tough question or two in there. You know, she
really doesn't seem like she'd have much to gain by
going on Fox, but she must think she needs whatever
she can get her hands on or else. I don't

(01:57:00):
think she would do it. You don't see you don't
see Trump, you know, going to CNN or or or
or or to the progressive media MSNBC and being willing
to do interviews with them. I mean, he knows, he
knows what kind of reception he would Again, he knows
it wouldn't make any difference.

Speaker 6 (01:57:12):
So he just turned down the debates with him. But
he's done interviews with him, Yeah, he has. He he
goes straight to the to the notes.

Speaker 3 (01:57:20):
Well, if there's somebody, if a reporter is there and
he's speaking, yes, yeah, but he doesn't go out of
his way.

Speaker 6 (01:57:26):
To go to MSNBC see ann debate.

Speaker 3 (01:57:28):
Right, do I know. I know, but you know I'm
talking about the interviews with certain hosts. Well, he knows
better than to do that is I would hope any
of us would all right, listen noth for today. You'll
have a great day. We'll see tomorrow morning. Breton nearly
five am. I'll see this after four on AM nine
fifty KPRC.
