News Radio seven forty KTRH. It is time now for

(01:24):
the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer iiveo.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Wan on news Radio seven forty KTRH and our top
story this hour. Breaking Late last night, the Texas Supreme
Court halted the scheduled execution of Robert Robson, who would
have been the first person in the United States put
to death in a case of shaken baby syndrome. We'll
have more at five thirty. Also topping our news, our money.
The holiday shopping season officially kicking off soon in sales

(01:49):
expected to be up about three and a half percent,
But hey, pay close attention. KTRH money man Patchion says
that's not really the true number.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
That number is before inflation. So if you include inflation
or what we call the real rate, holiday sales are
expected to be up somewhere between one half and one percent.

Speaker 6 (02:13):
Yeah, another example of how the dollar isn't worth what
it used to be, just doesn't buy as much it
is now five h two do research from bank Rate
finds inflation remains the top economic issue for voters heading
into November.

Speaker 8 (02:28):
But bank Rates Mark Hemrick points out the.

Speaker 9 (02:31):
Majority of Americans say they believe the country's on the
wrong track, but that is steered by eighty three percent
of Republicans versus just twenty seven percent of Democrats.

Speaker 8 (02:41):
The survey also found that thirty two percent of Americans
think the economy is headed in the right direction.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
So who are these people?

Speaker 9 (02:50):
It is based on their politics, and so we know
it is a time of tremendous division, but.

Speaker 8 (02:55):
Again both sides believe that the economy is at the
top of the list. Jeff Bigs News Radio seven forty
kth Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
This economy. Houston area restaurants being forced to raise their
prices in order just to stay in business, and many
are on the verge of closing.

Speaker 10 (03:13):
Today is probably the most difficult time in history to
be owning and operating a restaurant concept, and tomorrow is
going to be even more difficult.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
Jonathan Horowitz there with the Houston Hospitality alliance. He says,
the rising cost of labor in recent Harris County property
tax shikes on top of that now putting a lot
of pressure on businesses that are already operating with the
slimmest profit margins. Going to a trade school now as
opposed to college, it's paying off. And now some private

(03:45):
equity firms are targeting successful skilled trade companies.

Speaker 11 (03:51):
Small plumbing and hvac businesses are really doing well.

Speaker 12 (03:54):
They invest in existing businesses, are cash flowing, and they
have minimum USh hold in those investments.

Speaker 11 (04:02):
Director of the Small Business Administration Houston District, Mark Winchester
says private equity firms want to see dollar signs, can see.

Speaker 12 (04:10):
The brett and depth of the types of businesses, small
businesses that they're investing in.

Speaker 11 (04:16):
Maybe plumbing or hvac is the way to go if
you want to be a millionaire. Jared Lewis News Radio
seven forty KHRH it's.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Now five o four election day, two weeks plus change
and Aln Musk campaign for Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.

sensible spending.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
Musk and fulsoon pa Donald Trump President Trump in New
York at the Al Smith Memorial Dinner political.

Speaker 14 (04:47):
Roast tradition, halls that I'm supposed to tell a few
self deprecating jokes this evening, so here it goes.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Nope, I've got nothing.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
He also joked, quote, I just don't see the point
of taking shots at myself when other people have been
shooting at me for a hell of a long time.
In quote, he was funny. Kamala Harris, of course, the
first presidential candidate in forty years to skip the dinner.
She did send a video with former Saturday Night Live

(05:22):
star Molly Shannon appearing as a character Mary Catherine Gallagher,
and it was actually cringe worthy.

Speaker 15 (05:30):
Is there anything that you think that maybe I shouldn't
bring up tonight?

Speaker 16 (05:34):
Well, don't lie. Val shall not bear a false witness
to thy.

Speaker 17 (05:37):
Neighbor, indeed, especially thy neighbor's election results.

Speaker 18 (05:43):
What it was just weird.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
The host of the dinner, who was comedian Jim Gaffigan,
he actually made fun of Harris for that. She wasn't there,
as we said, because she was campaigning in Wisconsin. Mark
Cuban was with her, literally reading from his phone as
Harris's hype man. It had to be scripted.

Speaker 14 (06:07):
This man has so little understanding of terrorists he thinks
that China pays for them.

Speaker 19 (06:13):
This is the same guy who also thought that Mexico
would pay for.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
The wall what Cuban and Harris and Lacrosse Wisconsin. Meantime,
the state of Florida is suing the Biden Harris administration
over his refusal to verify immigration records to prevent illegal
aliens from voting. And on the international front, Israeli forces.
They've killed the Hamas leader ya Ya Ya Sinoir, mastermind

(06:41):
of the October seventh attack, kidnappings and murder of more
than twelve hundred people.

Speaker 20 (06:46):
I gotta tell you the mission's not over yet, because
we still will have one hundred and one of our hostages.
We know that Hamas has killed thirty six of them,
but the rest we believe in our life.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
Government spokesman David Mercer on Fox Now, Prime Minister Benjaminette
and Yahoo demanding that Hamas release these remaining hostages. Five
o seven is our time we cover new research that
shows that doom scrolling Jimmy through our social media it's
costing us three days of time every month. No surprise
to ut San Antonio professor Mary McNaughton castle Sometimes we

(07:22):
use the news not just for information, but.

Speaker 21 (07:25):
Sort of for entertainment.

Speaker 16 (07:28):
If you're home and you don't want to work on
the mine from work, it's easy to just start scrolling
for something to distract yourself.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
Well, yeah, we'd all know that. We had all started
four years ago. During COVID. According to Talker's research, we
spent about six hours a day consuming some sort of media.
Nose to the screen. Rockets beat San Antonio preseason finale
one twenty nine, one oh seven, opening the regular season

(07:58):
seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
When we say what happens next, happens here news this
is just your guests is as good as ours.

Speaker 22 (08:07):
What happens next?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Man on Youth Radio seven k t r H, Bye bye,
Wait is their time here?

Speaker 18 (08:13):
In Houston's morning news.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
About twenty five percent of all Americans say local and
national politics highly influenced the decision about where to live. Well, yeah,
it seems only natural to me. Cheryl lives in an
area where she probably is in the minority as far as.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
Extreme minority extreme, Yeah was it?

Speaker 18 (08:37):
How was it when you bought the house, though I.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Bought the house when it was little Bungalows. And I've
watched all the people buy out, the old people who
died or whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
But I mean, were you more closely aligned with the
belief system of the people who were there when you
moved there?

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Originally it was I live in Western University.

Speaker 18 (08:52):
So the neighborhood changed, you know, on you versus you
changing on it.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Yeah, multinational and a lot of liberals.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, there's here's what's interesting. I think about my neighborhood.
I understand that I would I certainly had I known,
and I've said this many times on the air, had
I known, we'd have Alena Hildago, I would have not
settled in Harris County to start my life here in Houston.
I would have been in Montgomery. And I may still
end up there, who knows. But and I do take

(09:21):
politics into consideration, because everybody should. I mean, if it
impacts your property taxes and everything else about the services
and everything else about the way you live. But as
far as my neighbors themselves and what they believe politically,
there's only a handful of neighbors. I know what their
politics are because they weren't on their sleep. They'll put
out campaign signs during election time. Ninety I'd say ninety

(09:43):
percent of the people in my neighborhood don't people. We
probably know the people right next door to us the best.
I have no idea what their politics are. They know
what my politics are, obviously, because they know what I
do for a living.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Well, you can look and see how you're precinct votes
after the election. Sure, I mean that's why I know.
You know, I don't have we don't have them many signs,
but yeah, overwhelmingly, and it's all represented by Democrats.

Speaker 18 (10:08):
I guess. I guess.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
The point I'm trying to get to here is if
we consider the politics of our neighbors to be important,
why don't we put more of an effort for it
to find out what the politics of the of the
neighborhood are. Because most of the time, you don't know
what the politics are because they don't. They don't they
don't say how they voted, they don't say, you know,
what they support and what they don't support. Necessarily, they

(10:30):
don't put a campaign signed out in the art.

Speaker 18 (10:32):
We don't really know.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
If you don't really know, what difference does the politics
make if they don't, you know, force that those politics
in your face. Five love and time for traffic and
whether it's together Texas Grand Ranch.

seems weird to me. I mean, you got Chuck Schumer
sitting almost next to Donald Trump. You've got people involved
in the prosecution of him in New York on the

Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (16:37):
Like, do those seats cost more?

Speaker 1 (16:41):
How much there's a cost to not have to look
at Gaffigan?

Speaker 23 (16:45):
That's my Bloomberg impression.

I don't know about you. I think this is exciting.
This is very exciting.

Speaker 23 (18:06):
Cardinal Dolan is also a friend of mine and I
would never put him on the spot, But Cardinal Dolan,
I'm curious. The Pope did say that this election is
a choice between the lesser of two evils, and so
two par question.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
One do you agree? And two?

sheryff Fryer.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
Good morning everyone. It's Sound five thirty one on news
radio seven forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 32 (21:22):
I'm disappointed. It's unacceptable.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
Well those are the words from Houston Mayor John Whitmyer.
He called out City Controller Chris Hollins for an alleged
pay for play scheme with local vendors, specifically planning to
charge them an unofficial fee of one hundred thousand dollars
to have dinner with Collins. That would be access.

Speaker 33 (21:45):
Oh this is, you know, a use nothing burger that
is meant to distract from the mayor's failed leadership on
dis corresponsibility at the city.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
Oh, they don't like each other, but the mayor does
have the upper hand. He can and launch an investigation
and he can ultimately call in outside forces if there's
official corruption involved. Remember it was Hollins who designed the
mail in voting program in Harris County back in twenty twenty,
including that illegal motor voter, those tents that were largely

(22:15):
in Democrat voting precincts. Texas early voting begins on Monday.
The local GOP is keeping a close eye on how
that goes.

Speaker 34 (22:23):
There are serious concerns about how the election will actually
be administered based on the past history of Democrats running
the elections in Harris County, so that is a big concern.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yeah, he's the former Harris County GOP chairman, Jared Woodfill. There,
he says, watchdogs also want accurate and updated voter registration roles,
make sure we know that people who are still alive
are still voting. Folks. In a major decision ahead of
the election of federal judge in Arizona has ruled as
supervisors in Cochise County they actually did have the right

(22:56):
to contest the twenty twenty election.

Speaker 21 (23:00):
Challenge not to certify with valid So all these states
we're finding with algorithms are now subject the valid challenges
before they're certified. That's critical because once an election is certified,
is very difficult to challenge the votes.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yeah, writer Jerome Corsi. There these when he says algorithms,
those are illegal votes, and he says a Secretary of
State cannot go ahead and pass them through disenfranchising the
actual legal voters. New polling from CBS gives Donald Trump
at three point leading Kamala Harris and the border state
of Arizona, eighty percent of voters saying the invasion is

(23:35):
a major factor in their decision. It's now five point
thirty four the Biden Harris border disaster. If it weren't
bad enough, we're also learning about additional threats to our safety.

Speaker 35 (23:46):
The Border Patrol says one third of the surveillance cameras
installed along the southern border more than a decade ago
are out of service due to technical problems and outdated
equipment for more. Border Patrol Union chief Brandon Judd tells
Fox this is another more hit for agentstrol.

Speaker 36 (24:02):
Agents right now just don't feel like their job means anything.
That's why people are looking at leaving if she gets
elected again. We all want to be able to fill
like our job means something that we're able to accomplish.

Speaker 35 (24:13):
The Border Patrol in Laredo warns that the camera outage
raises serious concerns for officer safety and border security. Corey Yelson,
who's radio seven to forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
By the way, next week, the US Supreme Court's going
to hear a case that could make it easier for
Donald Trump to carry out mass deportations if he wins
re election.

Speaker 37 (24:33):
The Supreme Court could stop illegal aliens from filing frivolous appeals.

Speaker 22 (24:37):
It would prevent those individuals who are under final orders
to removal from then rushing back into court to say, wait, wait, wait,
I want you to review this decision or that decision.

Speaker 37 (24:45):
Immigration law expert Arthur told kt RAH, this case should
be pretty easy for the Supreme Court to settle.

Speaker 22 (24:51):
You're probably going to see a five to four or
a six to three decision, and that would make it
a lot easier for a future Trump administration if there

Speaker 37 (24:59):
Arthur's si as the text of the law makes it
clear that final deportation orders are outside the realm of
judicial review. Ethan began in news radio seven forty ketrh.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
Meantime, the Texas Supreme Court has blocked last night's execution
that was scheduled. If Roberson convicted for killing his two
year old daughter in two thousand and two in a
shaken baby syndrome case.

Speaker 27 (25:21):
He was shocked, to say the least. He praised God
and he thanked his supporters.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesperson Amanda Fernandez sare. This
court stepped in after an appeals court overturned Travis County
judges ruling to halt the proceedings got very a flurry
of court actions there. Roberson will be testifying for a
State House committee on Monday. He was subpoened by the
House and that's why the court went ahead and stopped

(25:49):
the execution. It is now five point thirty six. Donald
Trump doubles triples down on his tariff policies and that
you know they actually worked to prices and create jobs
when he was president. But while he does that, the
White House trying to sell us a much different story.

Speaker 38 (26:08):
Coles for walling America off with high tariffs on friends
and competitors alike, but by treating even our closest allies
as transactional partners are deeply misguided.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
Treasury Secretary Jennet Yelling on behalf all the multinational corporations
and globalists who claimed terrorists would re accelerate inflation. The
death toll from Hurricane Milton now at twenty five and
Florida Governor Ron Jasantis told Fox his state actually was
hit with a double whammy because it had double power

(26:45):
outages with two hurricanes.

Speaker 39 (26:48):
We had to prepare and respond to Helene. We did
two point four million power restorations and record time. Then
with Milton, there was four point two million power knocked
out and that's been reason. I think it's ninety nine
point nine percent with that.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
The official combined death toll from Milton and Helene now
approaching three hundred and you count both storms. Now Here
in Texas, there's a fifty billion dollar flood plan associated
with hurricanes released by the Texas Water Development Board. Jeremy
Kitchen of Texas Public Policy Research says half of the
money would be going towards Galveston. Yeah, but taxpayers may

(27:27):
not want to pay for something that doesn't benefit them statewide.

Speaker 29 (27:31):
It kind of goes down to the old adage of
ortentially collectivizing the cost to the entire state for what
affects a large portion of the state. Certainly, but you know,
specific people living in specific regions. I think wallmakers especially,
and there's certainly local elected officials for their involvement.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
In this, all have to kind of weigh that the
Houston ship Channel affects the entire state. It is now
five point thirty eight Texas visiting Green Bay on Sunday,
they want to improve their record to six 's one.
The kickoff there is at Nune and Top rank Texas

All right, for all of our vegan friends out there,
I am a metasaurus. I'm not a vegan by half.
On the one thing that could convert me if there's
no meat available to eat because it's all recalled due

(28:53):
to lysteria, that would force me to be a vegan.
Last week's nationwide recall of red meat and poultry has expanded.
It's now up to twelve million pounds and now includes
products are you ready sent to US schools for school
lunch programs? Restaurants and several major retailers including HGB and Walmart.

Speaker 6 (29:19):
Does that have your distress ready to eat?

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Ready to eat yes, which a lot of people buy
because they don't have time to cook or think they
don't have time to cook. Bruce Pack, in conjunction with
the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service, has announced an additional
one point seven million pounds of product that may be
contaminated with asteria. They announced that October fifteenth, total amount

(29:42):
of effective meta pulter products now just under twelve million pounds.
The current list of recalled products is three hundred and
forty three pages long and includes salads, wraps, postables, burritos
and chiladas, stir fries, and many other ready made frozen
meals from brands like Fresh Express, Boston Market, Atkins, Dole,

(30:03):
Ready Meals, Taylor Farms, Home Chef, and Signature Select. So
if you have any of those products in your house,
you're gonna want to double check the recall list and
make sure that you don't have something that's on recall
because you might get very sick. By forty time for
traffic and weather together it wasn't on that list. Don't

(30:24):
see it. But okay, just about every supermarket that we
go to is on the list of having this.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Do you buy pre prepared brisket?

Speaker 40 (30:32):
No?

Speaker 6 (30:33):
No, no, well that's what's at risk.

Speaker 18 (30:36):
Process Yeah, processed foods, just pre prepared, ready to eat, so.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
I can eat at tonight's wedding. Now, if you can cook,
you can eat. Let's go to the north side. Speaking
of let's go to Gerald from Conro. He's on the
North Freeway.

Speaker 28 (30:50):
Dude, hey, guy, my southbound past the south Blue three
thirty six. There's a couple of cop cars and what
looks like a stalled vehicle on the southbound theater.

Speaker 29 (30:59):
Don't about what's going on because I drove by too fast.

Speaker 18 (31:02):
You all right?

Speaker 4 (31:03):
There goes Gerald, And you know every time I get
a ticket, it's East Montgomery County, So watch out there.
That's out to the south Loop three thirty six, not
the north one. Rest of the way, Woodland's down twenty
two easy minutes. If you're coming down from the Sticks
Roman Forest, New Canny, you look good on the East

that thirty one minutes into downtown and your golf freeway.

I don't even have the skip up at park Place
just yet. Terry sing the supermoon song, I'm Skymike in

Speaker 3 (31:34):
From r KTRH Generator super Center twenty four hour weathersent
I've not heard the supermoon song.

Speaker 18 (31:38):
There's a supermoon song.

Speaker 26 (31:40):
No, it's just supermoove.

Speaker 18 (31:41):
Oh that's okay, Yes, yeah.

Speaker 26 (31:44):
Yeah, Like I'm is that like Superman or something?

Speaker 18 (31:48):
Or like Mighty Mouse. I'm not sure which I see.

Speaker 26 (31:50):
I can't remember where the.

Speaker 18 (31:51):
Noh she is to save the day.

Speaker 25 (31:55):
Well, I'm telling you, Mother Nature is just making for
some fine weather around here, and just in time for
all those fall festivities. It's a little cool this morning,
that's okay.

Speaker 26 (32:07):
We're going to warm up. We're going to warm up
through the.

Speaker 25 (32:09):
Weekend into early next week, and it looks like temperatures
could be in the upper eighties at some point next week.
Now today we're either side of eighties, upper seventies to
low eighties today. Still cool at night, but temperatures range
from the mid fifties to mid sixties tonight, so it
really is quite pleasant. Gets warmer tomorrow, low to mid

(32:30):
eighties tomorrow, Sunday and Monday, and by Tuesday some of
those temperatures in the upper eighties.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
All right, Before I let you go here, one more
question for you, and that is everybody who forecasts weather
is now saying that we are going to have here
in Texas, especially here in Southeast Texas, a much warmer
than normal winter. Is that my sign to go out
and buy a snowshovel?

Speaker 26 (32:52):
That would be insurance. I would call the snowshovel insurance
in my house. If I got one, I would never
need it.

Speaker 18 (33:00):
So are you agreeing with that forecast?

Speaker 2 (33:02):
So I I.

Speaker 26 (33:06):
Agree with the long term trends.

Speaker 25 (33:08):
The thing that we have to keep in mind, there's
always a caveat right, Sure, when you're talking long term trends,
you're talking a ninety day stretch of weather. So if
you look at it over the course of ninety days,
it's going to be warm. The flip side to that
is it doesn't mean it's not going to get cold,
and it doesn't mean it's not going to get really cold.

Speaker 26 (33:25):
So overall, a warmer.

Speaker 3 (33:28):

district judge weaponized secret algorithms to stop election fraud hidden
in state voter rolls. Sounds comp located. But the guy
who wrote the story, Jerome Corsi, will join us to

Right now, News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
All right, the battle around States We'll be keeping an
eye on all of them, including Arizona. Five fifty two
is our time, and the story is out of Arizona where.
On the September twenty seven, twenty twenty four, Federal District
Court Judge Michael T. Loberti rendered a decision in a
case American Encore versus Adrian Fontes that weaponized algorithms embedded

(35:59):
in very state born of elections official voter registration databases.
Sounds complicated, But the guy who wrote the story, Jerome Corsi,
is here with us. He's an author and co founder
of God's Five Stones dot com. To explain us to
us in Layman's terms, here, what did this judge decide
and how does this potentially impact elect results in Arizona.

Speaker 21 (36:21):
Well, at first I seal with what the judge decided.
Judge the Birdie was looking at a twenty twenty two
election in Arizona, the midterm election, and in that election,
Cochise County refused to certify the election. Cochies County wanted
to do a hand count of the ballots. They didn't
trust the what was coming out of the computers, and

(36:44):
Fante had prohibited that handcount from being done. And in fact,
what they did was they told Cochies County they had
to certify the election. Well, Cochies County refused to certify
the election. So Contes, under some manuel that he had
written a couple of years earlier, had a rule which

(37:04):
said he could if a county refused to certify an election,
he could canvass the entire state and bypass that county,
which Fonte did. So the US District Court and Judge Leberdie,
who comes out of Arizona, by the way, that was unconstitutional,

(37:25):
disenfranchised the voters in Coachief County. Their votes were not counted.
So this does it empowers a county commissioner and to
say the election is fraudulent and I'm not going to
certify it. So any county supervisor in Arizona that decides
the twenty twenty four election is not kosher. That is,

(37:47):
somehow or other there's been fraud, could not certify the election,
and there's no way that the Secretary of State can force.

Speaker 18 (37:55):
Them to do it.

Speaker 21 (37:57):
Now the issue is okay, let's stop with there. Then
I'll explain the issue of the algorithms. Yeah, go ahead,
ask the question.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
Well, my question was so in essence, if a county,
a single county, does not certify its votes, does that
then make an entire state board of electors? What they
get put on hold? What happens to the entire state,
because that's what's going to happen coming up.

Speaker 21 (38:24):
Well, everything gets put on hold because you can't have
a election where one county says there's been fraud and
won't certify it. That puts the entire state on hold.
It's the duty of these of the supervisors to determine
whether or not the election was certifiable, whether it was legitimate,

(38:44):
and if one county says it wasn't legitimate, then the
entire state's on hold. So that power is a given
county to object to what's gone on. It's a very
powerful decision, I think, a very important one, and I
think it's constitution rooted and the job of a supervisor
is to determine whether or not the election has been legitimate.

(39:08):
And if you don't allow that to be done, the
supervisor has no reason to be looking at election.

Speaker 22 (39:14):
Now.

Speaker 21 (39:14):
The problem is that we're finding and the godchivestones dot
com reports it that there are secret algorithms. There are
codes written into many of the state databases, and we
just started looking at the Arizona State database yesterday. But
what these codes do, and they're really intelligence agency quality codes,

(39:35):
they allow completely fictitious voters to be created. These voters
get legitimate state IDs and they're available to be used
at mail in fraud. Someone who is running the computer
system can vote at will these fictitious voters and they
look like they're real. So it is a real problem. Wow,

(39:56):
we find algorithms. We find algorithms in the Arizona State
of database at the Secretary of State level, we find
an algorithm. The state has a problem in any given
county can say you can't can't certify an election if
the state database has a algorithm.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
In it, we are we are out of time. So
let me let me ask you very quickly. Do you
suspect that this is going on in other battleground states
or is this a uniquely Arizona problem.

Speaker 21 (40:25):
We've already found it in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and so
we think it's probably very ubiquitous across the country. Wow,
we found it about Kenton State.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
So far, it's going to be a very tough election
certification coming up.

using credit cards, avoid maxing out anyone credit.

Yeah, and prices are higher, don't forget, Shin adds after
adjusting for inflation, Actually, Hollin's day, spending is actually only
going to rise by about one percent. We're talking in
terms of cost of everything. You have to figure in.
Inflation is still the top economic issue for voters. According
to a new Bank Rate study.

Speaker 9 (43:28):
What is very interesting to us in the survey finding
is the massive divide between those who identify as Republican
a Democrat.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
Analyst Mark Hamrick. There eighty three percent of Republican say
the economy is on the wrong track. Only twenty seven
percent of Democrats feel that way. At least in this survey.
Biden Harris regime economy putting a tight squeeze on all
of us, including restaurant owners.

Speaker 37 (43:51):
Here in Houston thanks to labor and product costs, restaurant
owners are facing major struggles.

Speaker 10 (43:57):
It makes it all the more difficult. In an industry
that always had challenges and slim margins, those margins are
under even more pressure right now.

Speaker 37 (44:05):
Jonathan Horrowitz, with the Houston Hospitality Alliance says the recent
Harrison County property tax hikes won't help either.

Speaker 10 (44:11):
Any increase in property taxes or rents will just add
another level of challenge and complexity.

Speaker 37 (44:20):
Horrowitz says, it doesn't look like things will be getting
easier for owner operators anytime soon either. Buchanan News Radio

So where do these private equity firms look? Where are
they looking now in order to invest the money that

plumbing and HVAC companies.

Speaker 12 (44:43):
If equity firms, VCS, venture capitals, Angel investors investing in
skilled trade firms.

Speaker 18 (44:51):
They are existing businesses that are cash law.

helping them grow their businesses. It's now six oh five.
On the campaign trail, Elaan Musk made the case for
Trump's return to the White House.

Speaker 13 (45:14):
We want freedom of speech, we want the Constitution to
be upheld.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
I've been told the Times that these are like right
wing values. I'm like, are you insane?

Speaker 6 (45:24):
American values? Musk in Pennsylvania, he campaigned, while Trump appeared
at the Al Smith dinner to benefit Catholic charities in
New York.

Speaker 41 (45:34):
Instead of attending tonight, she's in Michigan receiving communion from
Gretchen Whitmer.

Speaker 6 (45:43):
Kayla Harris did not appear. Trump said he hoped she
would attend, but that quote, we can't get enough of
hearing her beautiful laugh. Harris did do a video former
Saturday Night Live star Molly's Shannon doing the appearance, appearing
as the character Mary Catherine Gallagher. On that video, it
fell flat as.

Speaker 32 (46:05):
I watched that.

Speaker 23 (46:06):
I couldn't help but think of now, I know how
my kids felt when I call I facetimed into a
piano resit on their rat.

Speaker 6 (46:15):
Reaction to Committee and Jim mcgaffigan, last Night's host. Harris
was in a rally in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, using the same
talking points she uses.

Speaker 17 (46:25):
Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails, right, He who
has vowed, if re elected, he will be a dictator
on day one.

Speaker 6 (46:38):
Yeah, his dictator comment he was making a joke about
closing down the borders on day one. Harris keeps using
it on the campaign trail, as though he really means
he's going to be a dictator. Florida's suing the Biden
Harris regime over its refusal to verify immigration records to
try to prevent illegal aliens from voting. Middle East tensions

(47:02):
continue to rise after Israel announced its operation that killed
the mastermind of October seventh, Hamas leader ya Ya Sinhwar.

Speaker 19 (47:12):
Can't predict that that means that whoever replaces Hamas will
greet us seize far, but it does remove what has
been in recent months the chief obstacle to getting one.

Speaker 21 (47:21):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (47:21):
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller. The liberal New York Times
in his headlines said Sinowar was known for his cunning
and brutality, headlining him. Texas police want to make it
illegal for anti Israel protesters to wear face masks. DPS
Lieutenant Ralph Olan says it has nothing to do these
masks with their health.

Speaker 10 (47:43):
Has become commonplace, especially among professional agitators from groups such
as Antifa, to protect themselves from apprehension.

Speaker 6 (47:51):
Yeah, he has there still trying to track down more
than a dozen people involved in all those protests at

This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Parent and Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
One of the things incorporated into Kamala's l Smith dinner
video was a Taylor swept shake it off reference. I'm
going to play the whole thing to you to see
if that makes any more sense than the small cliff
that you had Shara this just in it doesn't. First
of all, you've got Molly Shannon appearing in it as
Mary Catherine Gallagher. That's an SNL Catholic Girls skit that

(48:41):
she used to do when she was on SNL between
nineteen ninety five and two thousand and one. So you
got a cultural reference there that is minimally twenty three
years old, which I don't think is probably going to
you know, I'm sure there are a fair amount of people.
I thought it was an older crowd at the dinner.
I'm sure they're fair amount people going. What is she

(49:03):
even doing? Anyway, here's how it went.

Speaker 17 (49:06):
The Al Smith dinner provides a rare opportunity to set
aside partisanship.

Speaker 18 (49:13):
I'm sorry, sorry, what's going on?

Speaker 15 (49:15):
Sorry?

Mary Kevin?

Speaker 15 (49:16):
Elli, Mary Kelly, Is there anything that you think that
maybe I shouldn't bring up tonight?

Speaker 16 (49:23):
Well, don't lie. Thou shalt not bear a false witness
to thy neighbor.

Speaker 17 (49:27):
Indeed, especially thy neighbor's election results.

Speaker 16 (49:30):
Just you know there will be a fact checker there tonight.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Oh that's great, who Jesus?

Speaker 16 (49:36):
And maybe don't say a thing negative about Catholics.

Speaker 17 (49:38):
I would never do that no matter where I was.
That would be like criticizing Detroit in Detroit.

Speaker 16 (49:45):
Does it bother you that that Trump guy insults you
all the time, because it really bothers my friends and me.

Speaker 17 (49:50):
Oh, Mary Catherine, it's very important to always remember you
should never let anyone tell you who you are.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
You tell them who you are.

Speaker 16 (49:58):
Hater's gonna hate hate hate, Shake it off, Shake it off,
shake it off, shake it off.

We usually have it on all day at work, so
check in office, stay up to date.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
We used radio seven forty KTRH six twenty two s
our time here on Houston's morning News. Nobody comes to
Ellis Island anymore, and immigration doesn't work that way anymore either.
The they just walk across the border and get absorbed
into our country. We don't know who they are in
many cases, where they're from, or what their intentions are. Well,

(55:09):
the Supreme Court is getting ready to hear a significant case.
They could reshape the ability of immigrants to appeal decisions
made by immigration officials and could become a boom, we're
told for President Trump's agenda to deport illegal immigrants should
he win the November election. Art Arthur joins US former
immigration judge at the Center for Immigration Studies. What's involved

(55:29):
in this case, Art, and what is it the Supreme
Court's going to be ruling on?

Speaker 22 (55:34):
So what's an issue in this case? Jimmy is the
ability of an alien to seek a federal court review
of various decisions that are made in immigration matters. In
this particular instance, it is a application for a visa
for a Palestinian national who is president of the United States,

(55:56):
was filed on his behalf by his United States citizen wife,
and it was originally approved by US Citizenship and Immigration Services,
but USCIS later determined that the alien in question had
entered into a fraud went marriage in order to gain
immigration benefits, so they decided to revoke the petition that

(56:19):
they had already granted. And the question is whether the
alien in this case who's seeking the green card can
actually get a federal court to review that decision. That's
a little bit complicated, but basically what's an issue is
the ability of federal courts to slow up the removal
process by reviewing decisions that were made by the administrative agency.

Speaker 6 (56:42):
In other words, giving the courts the supervisory role basically
of immigration policy, which is supposedly passed by Congress.

Speaker 22 (56:52):
Kara, that's the perfect way to put it. And you know,
it's important to note that most of the people who
end up in removal proceedings, most of the people who
or facing deportation are facially removable. The only question becomes
whether they are eligible for any immigration benefits or what
we call relief from that immigration process. And you know,
it can be a fairly smooth process. It simply goes

(57:15):
through the immigration courts or through USCIS. But when federal
courts get involved, it can slow that process down to
a halt. And really that's the biggest impediment to a
quick removal of individuals who aren't eligible for anything from
the United States.

Speaker 6 (57:31):
Can I ask you a question, then, the executive branch
is in charge of executing the congressional law or is
this just something that the past couple of presidents have
taken upon themselves.

Speaker 22 (57:43):
Now, Congress gets to make all of the rules as
relate to immigration. It is the role of the administration
the executive branch to actually execute those laws as Congress
has written them. And one of the things that Congress
has done again Congress has plannary power over immigration, has
almost complete control over immigration, is to limit the ability

(58:06):
of federal courts to actually slow up that process by
considering claims that are made by aliens who are facing removal.
And it's done that it's trimmed down the ability of
federal courts to do that because it wants that process
to move very quickly. Unfortunately, federal courts almost always fine
they have jurisdiction, even if the law is pretty clear

(58:27):
that they don't. And so what's an issue here is
the Supreme Court putting its final stamp on. Look, you
can't consider these claims. You have to kick it back
to the administrative agency to do what they're going to do.

Speaker 18 (58:40):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
If that happens, it becomes a bunch easier for deportation.
If it doesn't happen that way, then it could become
such a long process it becomes almost impossible to complete.

Speaker 22 (58:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 35 (58:50):
No.

Speaker 22 (58:50):
In fact, there are a series of cases in the
nineteen eighties Supreme Court made clear that every delay in
the immigration process works at the advantage of the alien.
And so what Congress and potentially Supreme Court will say is,
we want this process to move quickly. You don't have jurisdics,
don't intervene with the agencies. Be what we're going to do, all.

Speaker 3 (59:11):

Top story this hour, Morseananigan's do we call it that? Lightly?
At Houston City Hall, it's the Mayor John Whitmar calling
out the city Controller, Chris Hollins, for allegedly trying to
sell private access to an event that's run by the
city to investors next week.

Speaker 32 (01:02:24):
What one hundred thousand dollars sponsorship if you want to
have private time and a dinner with a controller. This
is nothing but the appearance to pay to play in Houston, Texas.

Speaker 6 (01:02:38):
Yeah, it's not really an investors event. This is like
a local public works and builders and contractors event next week.
Hollins went back at the mayor. He calls this all
a nothing burger.

Speaker 25 (01:02:52):
Huh.

Speaker 33 (01:02:53):
But we also know that the mayor makes decisions about
major contracts in this city, and so it's highly hypocritical
for him to wassiartime with this sort of baseless accusation.

Speaker 6 (01:03:02):
Yeah, Hollins ran against Whitmyer for mayor at one point,
and there's no love loss between the two of them.
Texas voters about to go to the polls all eyes
on how this election will be run In Harris County.

Speaker 11 (01:03:15):
Early voting begins next week, and the GOP is watching
election officials closely in a county that has some damaged history.

Speaker 34 (01:03:21):
Given what we anticipate to be a huge turnout in
Harris County. We're going to have to be very mindful
and keep an eye on what's going on with the
County Clerk's office.

Speaker 11 (01:03:30):
Former chairman of the Harris County Republican Party Jared Woodfuld
says voter roles will be looked at too.

been issues and concerns there, so we want to make

Early voting in Harris County starts October twenty first. Jared
Lewis News Radio seven forty KJRH.

Speaker 6 (01:03:50):
Yeah, well, meantime, are you noticing the shift? CBS now
gives Donald Trump a three point lead on Kamala Harris
in the state of Arizona, where a whopping eighty percent
of voters in that state say the border disaster is
their major factor in the campaign. Now, a federal judge
in Arizona has issued a ruling that could have major

(01:04:13):
ramifications for the entire country next month.

Speaker 8 (01:04:17):
Sure the judge ruled that the Arizona Secretary of State
did not have the authority to certify the state without
one of the counties.

Speaker 21 (01:04:25):
This is a major decision because it indicates any one
county and stop certification of an election.

Speaker 8 (01:04:31):
That's Jerome Corsi, head of the website godsfivestones dot com,
who says the election wasn't certified in Coachee's County because
of fraud committed by algorithms.

Speaker 21 (01:04:43):
These algorithms permit the creation fraudulently of so called voters,
but they don't exist.

Speaker 8 (01:04:49):
This ruling allows local supervisors to contest voter fraud. Chuff Biggs,

Speaker 36 (01:05:15):
We want to go out and be able to present

Not the Border Patrol, but the Welcome Patrol. We have
no enforcement mechanisms right now.

Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
Welcome Okay. This week, several Border Patrol agents have threatened
to quit if Kamala Harris is elected president. They said
they can't take it. Anymore. Donald Trump's agenda could be
getting a big boost to The Supreme Court is expected
to hear a case on Tuesday that would make it
easier for him to carry out his promised mass deportation

(01:05:50):
of criminal illegal aliens.

Speaker 22 (01:05:53):
First, if the court comes down on the side of
the government in this case, it's probably going to make
it significantly easier for the government to then act on
orders of removal.

Speaker 6 (01:06:04):
Immigration law expert art Arthur He told KTRH the text
of the law makes it clear that final deportation orders
are not open to review by the courts. They're outside
the realm. It all belongs with the executive branch and
ultimately the law that is passed by Congress. Texas Supreme
Court has blocked last night's execution that was scheduled of

(01:06:28):
Robert Roberson, convicted for killing his two year old daughter
in two thousand and two, and it was a shaken
baby syndrome case. A state appeals court overturned a Travis
County judge who'd over to this stay, allowing the execution
to move forward, and then it got complicated.

Speaker 42 (01:06:44):
What impact this is going to actually have on Robertson's case,
whether a new death warrant will be issued. Whether this
will eventually happen or if he will at some point
get a new trial, none of that is clear at
this point.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
Robert Arnold with our TV partner Channel Too Now Robson
has been called. He's been subpoened to testify before a
state House committee on Monday, so we know that the
execution was halted to allow that to take place. Six

Ultimately comes down to, is it the approprial of government.
I think arguably you could say yes, right, protecting infrastructure,
trying to plan for certain things that costs an immense
amount of money.

Speaker 43 (01:07:46):
Jeremy Kitchen with Texas Policy Research says the projects will
be up to the state legislature. Half of it would
be used in Galveston, but that doesn't really help the
whole state.

Speaker 18 (01:07:55):
So it's a tough sell.

Speaker 29 (01:07:56):
You're asking state tax payers to fund something which admittedly
it's extremely expensive.

about their lives, about their women, about the election, of politics,
all that stuff. So Lawrence Jones, part of Fox and

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
I think it's a coin flip at the time, I
really do. I think the country is so divided.

weren't divided.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):

Speaker 44 (01:09:17):
I'm still in between myself. Yeah, there's a lot of
decisions have to be made. We've been an entrepreneur and
the father and the grandfather. I'm looking at where what
state my children would be in ten years from now.
At the end of the day, I'm Trump because my
eyes open, I can see that he was doing a

(01:09:37):
lot better than what we're going through right now.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
You can't even go to the grocery stores right now.

Speaker 41 (01:09:43):
Without making a life decision on what you want to get.

Speaker 18 (01:09:48):
You know, you got to compromise.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):

you know, just being able to just live on a
day to day basis.

It's really hard to put.

Speaker 32 (01:10:03):
Our economic condition now on any particular administration in.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Regards to the economy.

Speaker 44 (01:10:10):
I do think that Trump have some benefits as far
as bringing keeping our jobs right here, right here in
this country, not sending another job overseas. We're already going
through enough crisis right here in our country, and I
think the working class we need more job security.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Right here in this country.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
That's Detroit, that's about as blue as blue can be.
But I'm not hearing a lot of pro Kamalotok there
are you only you only got her name, mission one, that.

Speaker 6 (01:10:42):
Very first one. Yeah, we're held today, kamalo would win.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Yeah, yeah, just that one. Everybody else is talking about jobs.
Everybody else is talking about the issues that Trump is pushing.
So I think, uh, I think people are going to
be surprised when when the vote totals come in. And
even in urban areas like Michigan. If if that's what
the black men in urban areas are thinking, you know
that they're worried about jobs, are worried about keeping jobs here,

(01:11:07):
they're worried about not being able to award groceries, then
I think it's going to be a much better than
expected ibrad al.

Speaker 6 (01:11:12):
Now, the message that Trump is delivering is getting through, obviously, Yeah,
and I doubt that they play a whole lot of
that on to what Detroit TV. No, I'm sure they
don't your local media sources.

Speaker 18 (01:11:23):
Wasn't that funny? The message is still getting.

Speaker 6 (01:11:25):
Through because it's what you have to live.

shots at myself when other people have been shooting.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
At me for a hell of a long time.

Speaker 40 (01:16:19):
And they see that. You know, they say about presidents,
they say that Andrew Jackson was the president that was
the most meanly treated.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
His wife died.

Speaker 46 (01:16:30):
She died of heartache.

Speaker 40 (01:16:32):
She was heartbroken at the way they treated him. And
they say that second was Abraham Lincoln, but he was
in charge of Civil War. You know. But those were
the two Andrew Jackson up until me. Now they say
it's not even close. It's never been a president that's
been treated so badly as me, and now people aren't

(01:16:52):
happy about it. But I was treated a little bit rough,
but I don't mind it.

(01:21:12):
Sion says, yeah, that's the rub. He's got the truer number.

Speaker 7 (01:21:17):
That number is before inflation. So if you include inflation
or what we call the real rate, holiday sales are
expected to be up somewhere between one half and one percent.

Speaker 6 (01:21:28):
Mm hmm, dollery what it used to be it's now

but that is steered by eighty three percent of Republicans
versus just twenty seven percent of Democrats. The survey also
found that thirty two percent of Americans think the economy
is headed in the right direction.

to skip that dinner. She sent a video in her place,

and although the crowd was not quite Trump like, it
was big. He drew, He drew a lot of people,
and he drew a lot of enthusiasm, and he's trying

I'm in Pennsylvania, and I'm here for a very important reason,
which yeah, it's if, which is I can't emphasize, I
can't emphasize enough that Pennsylvania is I think the lynchpin
in the selection, and the selection I think is going
to decide the fate of America, and as along with

the fate of America, the fate of Western civilization.

they're just blocking all three of the feeder road lanes
on the outbound. Now, something scooched up at Broadway inbound
both ways. We're packed from the Loop to waffle House

Used Radio seven KTRH seven twenty two our time here
in Houston's morning news todaysh DSUSA joins us todess Shaw
you ben.

Speaker 48 (01:32:50):
Hey, I've been doing great, Thank you. Excited with the
new film is now out in streaming and DVDs are available,
and of course the top covered by the film couldn't
be more timely as the election movements to its final lap.

Speaker 18 (01:33:05):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
I think for those who don't recall our previous interview
with you or having had a chance to check out
the film, yet, it's really all about the war on
Donald Trump, right, That's what the vindication is all about,
the way the Department of Justice has targeted him, all
all the lawsuits, the assassination attempts.

Speaker 48 (01:33:23):
Yes, I discussed character assassination, political assassination, law fair or
legal assassination, then of course the two assassination attempts. The
film really makes the moral case not only for Trump's policies,
but also for Trump the man, for Trump's character because

(01:33:44):
a lot of the outrageous allegations against Trump are that
he's a bad guy, he's a wanna be or a
would be dictator, he would subvert the Republic in some way,
and all of this is unbelievable for the simple reason
that Trump has already been in office, so he didn't
do any of those things yet. Even so, the attacks
haven't subsided at all. I think they're not really working.

(01:34:08):
The American people don't really believe them.

Speaker 6 (01:34:10):
You know, this has been the strangest campaign I've ever
seen in my lifetime, because we have a proven president,
a past president with his own record what he accomplished
in office, as opposed to a vice president who's been
in office for three and a half years already, so
you can already compare what the reality is. But this
has been nothing more than a war of narratives. What

(01:34:33):
did the Democrats say about Kamala Harrison before that? Biden?
And what does narrative war? You are coming in with
this film very much. You're getting the word out, and
do you see yourself as actually this film being something
of a campaign help to Donald Trump?

Speaker 48 (01:34:52):
I think it will help him, but I didn't make
it with that in mind. The reason I made the
film is I said, look, I've had a chance over
the years to see a whole dimension of Trump up
close that I rarely see if ever on the public stage.
So I would like to do a riveting like one
on one conversation with Trump, ask him questions that he

(01:35:14):
doesn't normally get that will even surprise him, so people
can see the tumblers of his mind working. People get
a little insight into his soul. He exposes a sort
of personal side or even vulnerability that he's normally reluctant
to show, and all of that is in the film.
So I think my idea is not to convince you
by telling you just about Trump, but to sort of

(01:35:35):
show you Trump so you can make up your own mind.

Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
So, Deneesh, I think that you're always thinking of the future,
So I'm very very curious to know what you're thinking
of working on next. Are you going to be doing
a documentary on an election steal or are you going
to be doing a documentary on the second term of
Donald Trump?

Speaker 47 (01:35:57):
No?

Speaker 48 (01:35:57):
Quite, Honestly, I am planning, along with Salem Media, to
do a film next year that has to do with
biblical archaeology and biblical prophecy. So I'm moving into a
somewhat different sphere because sometimes when you have a new administration,

(01:36:18):
whether it's Trump or whether it's it's Harris, you have
to take a breather to see how these things are
going to shake out before you kind of wade in.
So might I might make a future film about what's
going on past the election, But I think at this
stage my idea is to focus on what's happening now
and then step back and do something a little bit

(01:36:39):
different for twenty twenty five.

Speaker 6 (01:36:41):
I'm a big fan of biblical archaeologies. So what era
are we talking about here? What century?

Speaker 48 (01:36:47):
Well, really what we're talking about is I almost feel
that as the world becomes more secular, you know, God
is speaking back to us through these astounding discoveries that
are under the ground, through the stones, so to speak.
So the idea is to make a film that reports
on these latest findings that vindicate and, by the way,

(01:37:10):
not just the New Testament, but also the Old Testament.
It turns out that people like King David and Jeremiah
and Elijah and so on are not mythical figures that
were made up by some Hebrew writers, but rather historical figures.
And there is remarkable stuff that is coming out of
the ground, not just in Israel, but some of the

(01:37:31):
surrounding countries. So that's the starting point for a film
that's really asking what does the Bible tell us about
the past, the present, and of course the future to come.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):

and coming up at seven thirty eight, we have new
post Kamala battleground polling data details coming in the minutes ahead. First,

(01:39:11):
let's strick out that morning drive with sky Mike. All Right,
we've got golf Freeway.

Speaker 4 (01:39:15):
That vehicle fire at Belford that has all your feeder
road lines shut down outbound, looks like everybody's okay, but
you got backups now from airport. On the northbound southbound,
it's slow after Griggs and this is also really squishing
up that ramp that goes from the south Loot. Let's
say from two twenty five Pasadena, you're trying to get

latest on the weekend forecast, temperature right now, fifty seven
of your officials severe weather station, News Radio seven forty
k TRH. It is time now for the news.

Speaker 18 (01:39:59):
Here's SHAREYFF seven thirty.

Speaker 6 (01:40:01):
Two now on news radio seven forty k TRH and
our top story this hour.

Speaker 32 (01:40:06):
I'm disappointed.

Speaker 6 (01:40:06):
It's unacceptable strong words from the Houston Mayor, John Whitmyer,
who has called out the city Controller Chris Hollins for
an alleged pay for play scheme with local vendors contractors,
specifically charging them an unofficial fee of one hundred thousand
dollars donation to have dinner with Hollins, that is access

(01:40:31):
to Hollins.

Speaker 33 (01:40:34):
This is a huge nothing burger that is meant to
distract from the Mayor's failed leadership on fiscal responsibility at
the city.

Speaker 6 (01:40:42):
Yeah, so, he says, Hollins not only ran against John Whitmyer,
but he designed the mail in voter program you know
in Harris County in twenty twenty that included the illegal
motor voter tenths. In Democrat voting precincts Texas, early voting
begins Monday, and the local GP keeping a close eye
on how it goes. Specifically in Harris County.

Speaker 34 (01:41:05):
There are serious concerns about how the election will actually
be administered based on the past history of Democrats are
running the elections in Harris County, so that is a
big concern.

Speaker 6 (01:41:14):
Jared Woodville there, he's a former Harris County Party chair. Watchdogs,
he says, also want accurate and updated voter registration roles
and they're going to keep an eye on it. A
major decision ahead of the election though, and this points
to it. A federal judge in Arizona rules that supervisors
in Cochise County did have the right to contest the

(01:41:38):
twenty twenty two election and not certify the vote.

Speaker 21 (01:41:42):
Their challenge not to certify with valid So all these
states we're finding with algorithms are now subject valid challenges
before they're certified. And that's critical because once an election
is certified, is very difficult to challenge the votes.

Speaker 6 (01:41:56):
Writer Jerome Corsi there, He says these algorithms, rhythms, what
they are are illegal votes inserted into the software of
the counting machines, and that the Secretary of State cannot
ignore this refusal to super to contect these attempts to
contest that disenfranchises voters. New polling from CBS gives Donald

(01:42:21):
Trump at three point lead on Kamala Harris and the
border state of Arizona. Eighty percent of voters say there
that the invasion is a major factor in their decision.
Trump rallies in Detroit tonight, then Latrobe, Pennsylvania tomorrow. He's
sitting down with Fox and Frienzacy even as we speak.
And by the way, he ripped Kamala Harris for not

(01:42:41):
appearing at the Al Smith dinner last night.

Speaker 44 (01:42:45):
For a lot of good people, a lot of good causes,
and unusually she didn't show up.

Speaker 18 (01:42:49):
You would have thought you were to.

Speaker 6 (01:42:50):
Showing up last night.

Speaker 18 (01:42:51):
You were surprised. We were all surprised.

Speaker 21 (01:42:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:42:53):
Trump wraps up his weekend with a town hall in Lancaster,
it's now seven thirty four said that Biden Harris border
disaster weren't bad enough. We now learn about some additional
threats to our sovereignty.

Speaker 35 (01:43:08):
The Border Patrol says one third of the surveillance cameras
installed along the southern border more than a decade ago
are out of service due to technical problems and outdated equipment.

Speaker 28 (01:43:17):
Form.

Speaker 35 (01:43:17):
Border Patrol Union chief Brandon Judd tells Fox this is
another morale hit for agents.

Speaker 6 (01:43:23):
Worder.

Speaker 36 (01:43:23):
Patrol agents right now just don't feel like their job
means anything. That's why people are looking at leaving if
she gets elected again. We all want to be able
to fill like our job means something that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:33):
We're able to accomplish.

Speaker 35 (01:43:34):
The Border Patrol in Laredo warns that the camera outage
raises serious concerns for officer safety and border security. Corey Yelson,
who's Radio seven forty KTRH US.

Speaker 6 (01:43:45):
Supreme Court taking up an important case next week that
could make it easier for Donald Trump to carry out
mass deportations if he wins reelection.

Speaker 37 (01:43:54):
The Supreme Court could stop illegal aliens from filing frivolous appeals.

Speaker 22 (01:43:58):
It would prevent those individuals who are under final orders
and removal from then rushing back into court to say wait, wait, wait,
I want.

Speaker 18 (01:44:05):
You to review this decision or that decision.

Speaker 37 (01:44:07):
Immigration law expert Arthur told k t Rash, this case
should be pretty easy for the Supreme Court to settle.

Speaker 22 (01:44:12):
You're probably going to see a five to four or
a six to three decision, and that would make it
a lot easier for a future Trump administration, if there
is one.

Speaker 37 (01:44:21):
Arthur says, the text of the law makes it clear
that final deportation orders are outside the realm of judicial review.
Even beginning News Radio seven forty ke TRH seven thirty six.

Speaker 6 (01:44:30):
Now, Texas Supreme Court has blocked the executions scheduled last night.
Or Robert Robert Robson, he was convicted of killing his
two year old daughter back in two thousand and two.
Is a shaken baby syndrome case.

Speaker 27 (01:44:43):
He was shocked, to say the least. He praised God
and he thanked his supporters.

Speaker 6 (01:44:49):
That's the spokesperson for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
Amanda Fernandez. Now, the court stepped in after you went
through several the appeals court overturning a Travis County judges
ruling to all the proceedings. Ultimately what stopped it was
Roberson has been subpoened to testify before a State House
committee on Monday, so the execution was stayed at least temporarily.

(01:45:15):
Seven point thirty seven is our time death toll from
Hurricane Milton now at twenty five and when you combine
that death toll with what has transpired from Hurricane Helene,
now we have a total already approaching three hundred and
more deaths still to come. They believe a fifty billion

(01:45:35):
dollar blood plan that was released by the Texas Water
Development Board. This is to handle our own resources and
preventions of hurricane flooding here. While Jeremy Kitchen of Texas
Policy Research says half of the money would be going
towards Galveston and the Houston region, and taxpayers well the

(01:45:56):
overwide statewide. Maybe they don't want to even have to
vote for that.

Speaker 29 (01:46:00):
It kind of goes down to the old adage of
ortentually collectivizing the cost to the entire state for what
affects a large portion of the state. Certainly, but you know,
specific people living in specific regions. I think wallmakers especially,
and there's certainly local elected officials for their involvement in this.

Speaker 18 (01:46:16):
All have to kind of weigh that.

Speaker 6 (01:46:18):
Yeah, they have to weigh not just geography, though, they
have to weigh the impact of the ports of Galveston
and Houston on the entire state of Texas. Texas visit
Green Bay on Sunday looking to improve their records. Six
and one. Kickoff will be at noon. I'm sureber fryar
on news radio seven forty krh.

Speaker 18 (01:46:37):
Need Land Clearing, Daniel Dean, Land Clearing and dirt Work
two eight one, three five six dirt I live in.

Speaker 1 (01:46:44):
Spring, I live in Katie.

Speaker 3 (01:46:45):
You're reliable forecast. Next on the ten on seven forty
KTRH seven thirty eight is our time here in Houston's boring.
I do have a fascination with bulls. I don't believe them,
I don't trust them, but I am fascinated by them.

Speaker 6 (01:47:03):
He should be a poster.

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
No, I don't want to be a polster. I just
want to make fun of Poles as in polls, not
Polish Arizona. According to this is a Forbes story, this
a variety different poles. Trump leads Harris fifty one to
forty eight in the CBSU Gove Pole fifty one to
forty six edge in a New York Times Santa College pole.

(01:47:25):
Trump is up one point six points in five thirty
eight polling average of all poles. He leads in Arizona
as a very comfortable lead in Georgia, now is in
a virtual dead heat in North Carolina, virtual dead heat
in Pennsylvania, and in Michigan, and in Wisconsin and in Nevada.

(01:47:47):
The lead by either candidate Trump or Harrison all of
those states less than one percent, well within the margin
of era. So what are we to make of all this?
Stuart Varney on his Fox Business show had polster Michael
Brown on mainly to react to the Fox Bowl that's
come out since the Kamally Harris interview, which shows Trump

(01:48:10):
with a two point national lead fifty to forty eight.

Speaker 18 (01:48:14):
Here he is.

Speaker 49 (01:48:15):
The new Fox poll shows Trump is ahead of Harris
by two points. That's nationally up to nationally goop pulse.
Mitchell Brown is with us today. Can Trump keep the
momentum going for another three weeks? And does polling momentum
equal voter turnout?

Speaker 19 (01:48:33):
Yes, Well, I think it's more of the opposite there,
Like we're seeing the reflection and invoter turnout in states
where people have already started to cast their ballots.

Speaker 1 (01:48:41):
That's what's showing this movement for Trump.

Speaker 19 (01:48:44):
And when it comes to what is actually happening on
the ground, we talked about this last week, but everything
is trending in the direction for Trump. That's why Harris
is doing all these different TV hits and trying to
set up as many interviews as possible. Internal numbers show
her down in those three Ross Belt states, and it's
troubling signed because she's already lost the Sun Belt. She's
already lost Georgia, North Carolina, in Arizona, and with that,

(01:49:08):
if she loses one of those three Rost Beelt states,
it's over.

Speaker 49 (01:49:11):
From the early voting, mail in voting or even just
mail in voting. Can you tell which way the vote is.

Speaker 19 (01:49:18):
Going directionally, you'll be able to tell where sentiment lies.
And you can go look at it from twenty sixteen
in twenty twenty, see, Okay, are people returning ballots earlier
at the same rate, a higher rate, a lower rate,
And that'll help us kind of overall project the turnout
and for this election, enthusiasm in the base, especially in
the state of Pennsylvania, for both Trump and Harris is

(01:49:40):
going to be a key driver.

Speaker 18 (01:49:42):
And what we're seeing is if she.

Speaker 19 (01:49:43):
Can't match even just ninety five percent of the intensity
that Biden had behind that campaign in the inner cities
in Pennsylvania, she's in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 3 (01:49:53):
Well, I don't think I still don't think that she
can match the intensity that Trump's being able to create.
What we will see, what we will see, right, that's
why you all turn out to vote. Early voting here
in Texas starts Monday. You're gonna go, Are you gonna
early vote?

Speaker 29 (01:50:06):
Share?

Speaker 32 (01:50:06):
I will?

Speaker 18 (01:50:07):
I am too.

Speaker 6 (01:50:08):
Yeah, I don't know if I'll go Monday.

Speaker 32 (01:50:10):
I think it.

Speaker 6 (01:50:11):
I want to go because I want to see just
what the crowds are lying.

Speaker 18 (01:50:14):
That's why I want to go on Monday.

Speaker 6 (01:50:15):
But typically minor, largely Democrat precincts that I haven't looked
up to see where all the early voting polls.

Speaker 3 (01:50:22):
But you know what that would be, that would be
even I mean, I'm in a Republican area, so I'm
pretty sure it's could be a big turnout, but'd be
very interesting to see what the Democrat turnout is on
the first day voting here in Texas. I mean, you'll
have a bird's eye view of that die for a
little traffic and whether anywhere early well early voting.

Speaker 6 (01:50:39):
I don't know where all the poll locations are typically, no,
not for early voter for primaries there you know, at
your main locations. But I don't know. Because of the
turnout this time, I haven't looked.

Speaker 4 (01:50:51):
We should put that on kk hto well into it.
I'm gonna be sure Go Freeway outbound at Belford. That's
a vehicle fire. They've shut down the whole feeder. We're
backed up both ways between waffle House and the South Loop.

Speaker 18 (01:51:03):
I do have time for.

Speaker 4 (01:51:04):
East text Freeway. It's old out from Kingwood.

Speaker 1 (01:51:07):
Dude, we have a two correccident lay by Upper Road

Weather Center. Terry Smith is here in the beautiful weather continues.
As we've said all morning. The only problem with it
is we need some rain and we're not getting any.

Speaker 25 (01:51:30):

seven days, so lots of sunshine and warming temperatures through
the weekend upper seventies to low eighties today.

Speaker 26 (01:51:41):
Load to mid eighties.

Speaker 25 (01:51:42):

Speaker 2 (01:52:04):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
All right, about fifteen minutes ago we heard from a
Republican polster on what's going on this here from a
Democrat pollster. Next, we'll do that after traffic and weather together,
which starts with you sky Mite.

Speaker 4 (01:52:21):
It's your Southwest Freeway breaks from west Park to the
Loop six ten not back for the southwest west Loop
down to Uptown. We're slowed from two to ninety north Sam,
We're never going to recover. We had the wreck at
Hardy westbound. You can really blame the roadwork at Aldane Westfield.
We're skunstup from JFK. You've got the vehicle fire, shutting
down the golf Freeway feeder. It's outbound at Belford. We're
squished up both ways between Griggs and waffle House, and

(01:52:44):
we'll check ship channel bridges during shares eight o'clock report
in the classic Buick GMC traffic.

Speaker 3 (01:52:49):
Center from our KTRH Generator Supercenter. Twenty four hour weather.
It's under sunny, mild, about eighty today. Tomorrow's Sunday money
mond money Monday sunny and continued mild, just a little
bit warmer with a high of eighty four. We're back
into the upper eighties, maybe even about ninety degrees as
we get to the middle of next week. Stept you're
right now fifty six at your official severe weather station.

(01:53:10):
News Radio seven forty KTRH. Get you caught up here
on some of our top Friday morning stories. Here's Share
seven fifty one. Now is our time on news Radio
seven forty KTRH. The Texas Supreme Court has halted the
execution of Robert Robson after a number of last minute
legal maneuvers. Vond said at a million dollars for the

(01:53:31):
Houston man charge with the capital murder in the death
of his wife in the Heights, the management group for
Fair Park in Dallas. They want the city now to
give it an eight million dollar bailout so it can
pay its vendors.

Speaker 6 (01:53:44):
Oakview Group. It's a for profit operator of events such
as the State Fair, and the vendors sent are largely
small businesses and desperate need of being paid. Yeh, think
latest news anytime at KTRH dot com. Our next update
will be at the top of the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:54:03):
I live in Katie, I live in it.

Speaker 18 (01:54:05):
Your reliable forecast.

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
Next on the ten on seven ktright.

Speaker 3 (01:54:12):
All right, a little more polling data, what the heck?
Share a little more with you. This time we had
a Republican poster. We heard from Mitchell Brown. Now let's
bring on Mark Penn. Mark Penn is a Democrat polster,
a work primarily for the Clintons back in the day.
Here he is talking about the latest Harvard Capsules, Era's
pole and what it tells him about what's on our

(01:54:34):
minds going into this election.

Speaker 18 (01:54:39):
Let me try it again.

Speaker 46 (01:54:40):
I think both candidates seem to have hit a ceiling right,
and they're ceiling us right around the fifty percent mark.
I think Trump is doing a very good job in
the swing states, picking individual issues in those swing states,
So for example, hitting no tax on Tipson Nevada, hitting
what could happen to the auto industry jobs with EV

(01:55:02):
mandates in Michigan, hitting cracking in Pennsylvania. I think his
strategy is very much to target each of those states
with a particular issue of local interest, and I think
that that may be, you know, ultimately, what if he
does get across the finish line, what gets him. The

(01:55:22):
most undecided voters probably don't like either candidate because neither
candidate has a fifty percent favorable personally, so they're they're
more likely going to decide on some other, some other basis,
which is really what the campaigns are doing.

Speaker 34 (01:55:40):
I think.

Speaker 46 (01:55:41):
I think Harris is now out there with the kind
of hitting the strategy of Trump bad Trump's threat to democracy,
some references to Hitler floating around from from surrogates. I
think that they're upping the demonization of Trump as what's
to be their endgame turnout strategy here. At the same time,

(01:56:04):
I think She's been very successful with women and abortion,
and I think Trump has been very successful with immigration.
But those swing voters don't like them, don't probably don't
like either candidate. Probably, then we'll look at, well, who's
going to be better for the economy, who's going to
be better for me? Who do I think can be

(01:56:24):
more successful at leading the country. We don't know exactly
where they're going to focus on. Part of your job,
and I've run many of these campaigns, is to use
your media and your campaign to get them to focus
on the thing that's most favorable to you. Trump needs
them to focus on immigration in the economy. She needs
them to focus on what she depicts as the evils

(01:56:46):
of Trump and and women's rights and abortion.

Speaker 18 (01:56:49):
Yeah, then those are the two things that chief in
all of that.

Speaker 6 (01:56:52):
Mark Penn Clinton operative, Yes, Well, the Clintons are not
off the stage yet.

Speaker 3 (01:57:00):
Oh, They're never going to be off the stage. I
don't think you know one thing I will say about this.

Speaker 6 (01:57:04):
Just you remember I've said this repeatedly here, uh huh.

Speaker 3 (01:57:07):
Something makes me feel kind of good though. I think
I told this story a while ago about I was
talking to my mother in law and she doesn't like
Donald Trump. She certainly doesn't like Kamala Harris, you know,
but I saw her post something and I told her,
I said, are you going to be eating dinner with
Donald Trump? Are you going to be best friends with
Donald Trump? You know you may not like him personally,

(01:57:29):
but who do you think is going to do the
best job of running the country? Whose policies do you
agree with? And whose policies do you disagree with? And
the other day I saw her post the very same
thing on Facebook, so I felt like, Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:57:43):
Good, you're very much a diplomat.

Speaker 3 (01:57:45):
The message got through. The message got through, so that
makes me hopeful. I'm hoping that for all the quote
unquote trump aters out there, at the end of the day.
The thing I liked about what Mark Penn said is, yeah,
let's not vote on likability. I don't care if you
like the candidate or not. Let's vote on who's going
to do the best job for the country. And I

(01:58:06):
think I know who.

Speaker 1 (01:58:07):
He couldn't find.

Speaker 6 (01:58:08):
Anything positive to say about Kamala Harris.

Speaker 18 (01:58:10):
No, he couldn't, No, he couldn't.

Speaker 6 (01:58:12):
He can only point out, well, you know she's a woman,
and uh, well, yeah, she hates Trump.

Speaker 18 (01:58:17):
Theirs strategy. That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:58:19):
It's hate Trump in abortion. Those only two things Democrats
have but Trump. That's a pretty thin list of work
from listen. Hey, you all have a great weekend and
you too. We'll see you Monday morning, bright in early
five am. I'll see the Saffrogot four on AM nine
to fifty k PRC
