It's more of what matters to you from the John
Morris Services studios.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, good morning, five am is our time here on
Houston's Morning News. I'm Jimmy Barrett along with Sheriff Fryer.
Among our top stories this morning as we get started,
accusations of voting, funny business going on in Terrn County,
did take four or five days to have our final
election results, and coming up at five to eight, changing
their name because they want to appeal to adults. Details

(00:40):
in the minutes ahead. You're in Houston's Morning News. First,
we're checking out that Morning Drive. Slow start, hask I, Mike,
it's just the way I like it so far. Now,

forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I'll voted for one president.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
Checked it on the video screen when I got the
paper ballot. It had the other candidate's name on it.
Check your paper ballots.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Everybody, Terry County, Texas voter James Carpenter. That video went
viral after his claim. Officials there in Terry County, though,
say it was actually Carpenter's error, and they allowed the
machine to continue to be used. So much for hoping
that this election will go more smoothly than it did
in twenty twenty. And now Fox's decision desk heads says

(02:07):
it might take four days to call the election.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Many of the issues from twenty twenty in key swing
states still haven't been corrected.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
When you have situations like twenty twenty, all you're going
to do is just continue to sew greater and greater
mistrust and distrust in the electoral process.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
Josh Hammer with Newsweek says this isn't really a problem
in any other First World countries.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
Most European countries get their results very quickly. The notion
that you would not get your results in election over
there within hours it's bonkers.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
Hammer says that if the election is extremely close, like
it was in twenty twenty, it could take even longer
to get results. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
KTRH presupposing that the machines count accurately. At least seven
hundred and thirty thousand people voted early statewide yesterday, making
the three day total now more than two million. We
have eighteen million registered voters in Texas twelve days to
go to election day. New pulling from the Wall Street
Journal last night, giving Donald Trump a two point lead

(03:04):
over Kamala Harris forty seven to forty five percent. One
of the reasons she's struggling is radical policies like what
she would do with the US Supreme Court.

Speaker 8 (03:15):
I do believe that there should be some kind of
reform of the court, and we can study what that
actually looks like.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
We should study how we will reform the court in
the constitution Harris at a town hall in Pennsylvania. Trump
held a rally for thousands in Duluth, Georgia, last night,
calling out the true threat to America a.

Speaker 9 (03:36):
Person that got no votes, no votes, therefore she's a threat.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
To democracy, using Kamala's line against her. He was joined
at that rally by Tucker Carlson and Robert Kennedy Junior,
as well as singer Jason Aldeine, leading efforts to help
hurricane victims in western North Carolina. Trump will be in
Texas Friday, holding a news conference in Austin first before
taping an interview with a Joe Rogan and his podcast

(04:03):
followers of some nineteen million. Kamala Harris is here in
Houston tomorrow at a location they have not yet announced.
The desperate Harris campaign now throwing the Hitler moniker against
Donald Trump again, basing it on fired former Trump chief
of staff John Kelly, saying Trump wanted quote generals like Hitler.

(04:25):
The Trump campaign called that a political hatchet job.

Speaker 7 (04:29):
The one and only Jewish state on the planet is Israel.

Speaker 10 (04:32):
Nobody's more popular in Israel than Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham on Fox's previous negative claims
by Kelly, by the way, have been debunked, as was
this most recent one. We'll have more on that at
five point thirty. Our news time now is five oh five.
What happened in the twenty eighteen, twenty twenty twenty twenty
two elections now? Conservatives pretty nervous about November. Political analyst

(04:58):
Andrea Wiidberg says sometimes Republicans become their own worst enemies.

Speaker 11 (05:04):
Too.

Speaker 12 (05:04):
Many conservative voters are such purists. They demand one hundred
percent agreement. Rogerdan's a vote that offends some of their principles,
they will sit out and allow a Democrat who offends
every one of their principles to win.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, Democrats fall in line, or vote as a block,
or follow like sheepe, whatever you want to say. So far,
Republican early vote turnout is far outpacing recent elections. However,
not hearing much about this, but school choice it is
on the.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Ballot, Sharah.

Speaker 13 (05:36):
Some like Richard Johnson are even calling it another sleeper issue.

Speaker 14 (05:41):
The parent empowerment movement across America had now sweat up
been to just about every state, about thirty three states
that it has non former school choice.

Speaker 13 (05:49):
Kamala Harris is not in favor of the school choice,
but former President Trump is just like most of the
state of Texas.

Speaker 11 (05:58):
Texas is really feeling the pressure to make a change.

Speaker 13 (06:02):
Doctor Johnson hopes that change starts with the election and
the next legislative session.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Jeff Biggs News read the O seven forty k t.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
R h SO five oh six and the Biden here
is economy huh. Sales have previously owned homes dropped again
last month to three point eight four million. Haven't seen
a number that LOSUS twenty ten after the housing crash
and with the government the regimes takeover of medicine, we
now learn that CBS and walgrooms are going to have

(06:33):
to close more of their pharmacies, adding to existing concerns
about the viability of smaller pharmacies in suburban and rural Texas.

Speaker 15 (06:43):
CVS, Walgreens and Write eight anticipate even more shutdowns of
stores not making a profit.

Speaker 16 (06:48):
The overhead and the rent and the payroll is just
so much compared to the revenue that they're bringing in
from the medications that they're selling.

Speaker 15 (06:57):
Doctor Joe Glotti says Rule American Play. This could become
pharmacy deserts. We're all consumers.

Speaker 16 (07:03):
We're looking for the better deal these large retail pharmacies
who are going to potentially lose your business and lose
customers and as a result, lose money and have to close.

Speaker 15 (07:12):
Hundreds of pharmacies have already been shut down over the
past few years, shared Lewis News Radio seven forty KHRH.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
But follow the money on this Home Depot is going
to be opening its first store in the city of
Montgomery today. Is the first big box hardware store there
in its history, an example of how much the whole
area of Montgomery County is growing.

Speaker 14 (07:35):
This is huge.

Speaker 17 (07:36):
I think it's going to be great for the city
of Montgomery. You know those guys out there, they've been
working very hard and place is growing. It's exponentially growing county.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Judge Marquillo there now that news store is going to
create more than one hundred and thirty new jobs for Montgomery.
Keyo thinks that other big hardware companies like Lows maybe
opening locations there in the future just follows. That's where
they're building things still in Montgomery County. It is now

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Houston's Morning News continues with Jimmy Verrett and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I like Goldfish Crackers hid him buy the handful five
of eaters our time here on Houston's Morning News. So
I saw this story and I thought, Okay, what marketing
genius case. Actually, here's the thing. There's no such thing
normally as bad publicity, right publicity's publicity. So evidently Goldfish
Crackers feels like they need to get some publicity. They

(08:45):
need to get our attention. Again, we're not paying enough
attention to Goldfish Crackers. So they're announcing a temporary name
change because they realize that there are some people who
think that Goldfish Crackers are for kids and not for adults,
and they want it. And I don't know who these
people are, but they want to make sure that they're
doing something to appeal to adults.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
I never got goldfish when I was a kid. No,
I don't think they even existed, did they? They probably
cost too.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Much, probably their pepperis farms, so they were pricey.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Ship Scotch.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'll leave the the ethnic stereotypes up to you. Okay,
back to the goldfish crackers. What do you suppose what
would you change the name of a goldfish cracker too
to try it to make it more appealing to adults.
That's the part that's kind of funny to me. They're
changing the name temporarily to Chilean Sea Bass Crackers.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
No, they're not.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
They are Chilean Sea Bass.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
They're going to have to reprint all those things.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
No, No, here's what they're They're they're not going to
online reality is yet. You can order them online while
supplies last a Chilean Sea Bass dot com. They're dropping
new inventory through October the thirtieth. It's just to get
our attention.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
It does, and it does, and it does well.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
They've been doing some other things to try spicy.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
It's actually very clever and you make it got it
got them basically an ad right now exactly?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, Well, why else would I be talking about Goldfisch
crackers Chilean sea baths. Anyway, they've been trying to adult
these things up for a while. Remember they had Doubt
for a while. I don't know if they still have
them or not, but they had goldfish Old Bay season
crackers where they you know, the old bass seasoning eighteen
different herbs and spices to try to make them a

(10:37):
little bit more tangy. They said. The most popular people
people request is to spice them up to make them
hot and spicy, so they also have a flavor. They
partnered up with the Frank's Red Hot Sauce to make
a goldfish Frank's Red Hot Cracker. It's so super spicy
kind of thing again, trying to appeal to the adult palette.

(10:58):
Five eleven Die for traffic and weather together as we

Speaker 4 (12:19):
That would be helpful.

Speaker 19 (12:20):
Yeah, it's you know what, this is like a summer
weather pattern. You know how in this summertime we get
stuck with usually with high pressure that's limiting our chances
of rain. Well, high pressure is quashing any chance of
rain through Tuesday at this point. Maybe a shower or
two by Wednesday, So that would be a nice change

(12:41):
of pace. And with high pressure keeping us sunny and dry,
the temperatures are going to stay warm. So we're in
the mid to pper eighties for most of us, a
couple of us flirting with ninety degrees. We did set
a record yesterday at bush in or Continental it was
ninety one there.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
So that's going to be the pattern through early week.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Hitler. That's all they got, Hitler, it's all they've got.
The Atlantic Monthly even digging up a four year old
story and publishing it again, almost as if it were new,
with the John Kelly, General John Kelly claiming that, you know,
almost fired.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
By Trump Jeff's staff, and he made all kinds of claims,
and they got debunked in the past. But he brought
up to this article, brought up the debunked.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
One, and of course the new the supposedly new information
in here. The thing that changes everything is that we
have General John Kelly on tape saying this. They don't
have Trump on tape singing, because he never did, but
they've got General John Kelly on tape. Anyway. We'll have
more on that coming up next. First, though, we've got
traffic and weather together. Hitler wasn't Bush Hitler. Wait a minute,

highlighted them for you before we got to traffic and weather.
Megan Kelly talking about on her podcast essay with guests
Sean Spicer. Here's how that conversation went.

Speaker 20 (16:49):
More stuff about John Kelly thinking Trump is Hitler, admires Hitler,
wants to be like Hitler, wants to generals to be
like Hitler.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
In specific, we've heard all that, we know all of that.

Speaker 20 (17:03):
John Kelly's been jumping up and down ever since Trump
fired him, trying to tell us that so other than now,
there's audio like what is the surprise of the Atlantic piece?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Nothing?

Speaker 21 (17:15):
And I think that's you know, if you're a Trump
hater and you're never going to vote for Trump, you're like,
oh my gosh, he's exactly the person I thought he was.
Because Jeffrey Goldberg has this story about this soldier that
this family that had to deal with the funeral, et cetera,
et cetera, that's somehow novel and is being denied.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
There's nothing new. I mean, that's the bottom line.

Speaker 21 (17:37):
Is that Goldberg is basically going to the well and saying,
I don't like the trajectory of this race. What can
I throw out a Trump right now to get people
more fired up?

Speaker 1 (17:45):
But I don't.

Speaker 21 (17:46):
As Mark said, it's you know, a lot of it
is not credible, it's not verifiable, and there's plenty of
people who are debunking it. And there's nothing in that
story that I think anybody's going.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
God, that's new.

Speaker 21 (17:58):
So I mean I I think it's all in the
eye of the beholder at this point. If you hate Trump,
it's one more piece of evidence why I don't like
the guy.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
But if you've seen the.

Speaker 21 (18:07):
Movie, this is sort of like Scream eight, like you
have a feeling that you know ghast Face is going
to go after.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Them at the end.

Speaker 21 (18:13):
It's it's so predictable, what's happening.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, and there'll be more of it. And like I said,
that's the closing argument. It's all they've got.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
It reeks of desperation.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
It does. It is. It is a very desperate act
from very desperate people. Five twenty six. It is time
to take a look at your money. Courtney don Ha,

(25:53):
and he has given away three million dollars already. Two

Gold and silver's worldly traded. It's something that you can
get instant liquidity, and a lot of our customers use
it just for that, even though they're charting it to

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Love me some potatoes, or or as my ancestors shoosed
to say, potatoes, all right, they grote potatoes in Ireland.
The growing conditions very good there for potatoes, except when
they had a potato famine in eighteen hundreds. That's how
we ended up with so much Irish.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Well, that was very serious yes, it.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Was, Yes, it was. So are we looking at another
potato fat while don't worry about a potato famine?

Speaker 4 (28:02):
People die?

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yes, they did. Well, that's because that rows is the
main source of famine. Yeah, okay, evidently this is one
of those stories where you go, well, what do you
mean we're going to have a hard time growing potatoes?
What about my French fries? Until you realize that this
is all part of a you know, climate change agenda's

(28:24):
story to get your attention.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Well, where do they grow potatoes?

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Well, they grow potatoes in a lot of places.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
I know, they grow everywhere, but I mean in bulk
actually Idaho potatoes. That's northwest.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
But you know who grows even more potatoes and people
don't realize it Pennsylvania. Oh well, that kind of climate
they grow well. And that's that's what that's what they're
making their case on. You need warm days and cool
nights to grow potatoes, and they're getting fewer cool nights
in Pennsylvania. The temperature is staying too warm for too

(28:58):
many nights now and now they're having potato crops that
are starting to fail or they're having are they say,
or they're having a more difficult time growing them, to
which I would say, Okay, well, I'm sure over the
course of history, you can take a look at virtually
every state as the climate has changed, and the climate
has changed many times over the course of history, where
you used to be able to grow something and now

(29:19):
you can't because it's either too warm or too cold.
That changed about the course of history. If it's too
warm in Pennsylvania to grow potatoes at night, then maybe
we're going to have to get more of our potatoes
from Canada, where there's plenty of cool nights, and they'll
pick up the slack and grow more potatoes.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
My grandfather grew a lot of potatoes in Kansas, did he.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Okay, that's work.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Digging up those potatoes, it is. Yeah. Are we talking
about small farms or big farms?

Speaker 14 (29:49):
Here?

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Are we talking about the big multinational food corporation's big,
big egg.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
We're talking about we're talking about. What this story is
talking about is climate change? Oh exactly, because here's what
you're have to do. Yeah, sure, you can grow them
somewhere else, but then you're going to have to put
them on trucks and transport them. See, in Pennsylvania, there's
a lot of chip makers there, and they grow their
own potatoes to make their potato chips. But now they'll
have to get their potatoes from somewhere else, so that
means often going a truck on little burn fossil fuels
and make the planet even worse. That's kind of the

(30:18):
gist of where the story is going. My suggestion is
is that you know, we have to make adjustments throughout
the course of history based on what's going on with
the weather. Not just what's going on with the climate,
but what's going on with the weather. Crops fail every
now and again. We get too much rain in a
crop fails, we don't get enough rain in a crop fails.
It's a part of life. Five forty one die for

You're gonna hear every single bit of information.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
When you We like to listen at the Electric Use
Radio seven KTRH Black Trump supporters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, MSNBC
what there to find out? Why why in the world
won't you vote for Kamala Harris? Why do you support
Donald Trump? Well, here's how that went.

Speaker 17 (34:27):
We're voting for Donald Trump unequivocally, period.

Speaker 11 (34:31):
No one else is going to persuade us.

Speaker 32 (34:33):
He's more strong, but strong minded in a way. He's
focused on what we gotta focus on. Like he doesn't play.
That's what I respect. He doesn't say ps. He's not
gonna hear her. He's a businessman.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
He's not there for the fluck talk of politics. We
need someone strong. I don't think that she has what
it takes to.

Speaker 18 (34:52):
Go up against Putin and go up against these other
presidents that are built for this.

Speaker 33 (34:58):
Obama made remarks on the camp paintrail. He was at
a stop I think at Pittsburgh, right, and he said,
I think there's some brothers out there who are on
the fence and they're saying it's because of this or that.
But I think I'm paraphrasing here, but it's because they
have a problem electing.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
A woman as president.

Speaker 34 (35:15):
I was peopling with them, and it felt like a
moment where it's like you, in words, better get in
line and do what we say.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
And the general tone of it was disgusting. It was
at porn. I don't respect it. I didn't like nothing
about it. Wow, Obama didn't do anything other than piss
a bunch of people off it by saying.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
That, yeah, you treat people as just a group of nothings.
And then you know, all of a sudden, you wonder
why they stand up, yeah, for themselves.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
They've had enough.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
You refuse to engage them individually, and instead they're just
a group.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
And the word do you hear over and over again
that they were saying is the word strong. So I
think they perceive Kambla Harris as weak as she is
very weak, and Donald Trump is strong. And they want
somebody they want to know bs president. They want somebody
who's going to go in there and who's going to
get things straight and is going to, you know, keep

(36:12):
the country on the straight and narrow.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
They were seeing Joe Biden this week too, because his
brain was gone.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Did you hear what he said, by the way, yeah,
the lock up comment. We'll have more than that coming out. Yes,
he actually he actually told I don't know, was that
a Freudian slip where he actually told the truth?

Speaker 27 (36:28):
Man?

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Now you went off script? Yeah you know, we played it.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah, well we'll play it again if you missed it,
because that's crazy. All right. So anyway, Senator Tim Scott,
he is not surprised by what he's hearing black voters say.

Speaker 35 (36:39):
It is a great time to be Donald J.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Trump. He is making.

Speaker 35 (36:43):
Record games with African American young men as well as
Hispanic young men. Why Sean, The answer is crystal clear.
He has a record of success, perhaps one of the
greatest presidents in my lifetime, for African American issues, from
college funding to the low one and play high enthusiasm,
wages growing faster at the bottom than the top. But

(37:04):
he also focus on things like crime and sick of
cell anemia research helping to accelerate the path to cures.
And at the exact same time, democrats, Sean are losing
their minds because they're losing their voters. When Kamala Harris
has said there's nothing she would change about the Biden years.

(37:24):
That means that the average family, black or white, losing
one thousand dollars a month in spending power.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
She wouldn't change that.

Speaker 35 (37:33):
Open borders, letting Venezuelan gangs in as you talked about earlier.
That's ravishing and devastating black, poor communities.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
She wouldn't change any of that either. Crime.

Speaker 35 (37:44):
Crime destroys communities of color, and the poorest Americans feel
at first, what would she do? Nothing? Of course, black men, Hispanics,
like every other man in this country is looking at
Old Trump as a solution and Kamala Harris as a problem.

(38:04):
So this is what we call in South Carolina common Si.

(39:38):
the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
Good Morning six oh one on news radio seven forty
k TRH our top story this hour. Another concern about
voter fraud in Texas. This one went viral though. Terry
County voter James Carpenter claimed that he voted for one
president and that his vote was switched when it printed out.
Officials there claim it was voter error. The machine is

(40:01):
still being used.

Speaker 5 (40:02):
That particular polling machine should have been shut down and examined.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Brought there, James Carpenter, he was on with CBS in Dallas.
Not gonna make you feel any better either. Mainstream media
warning it could take as many as five days to
tally the final election results. Why but maybe not if
there's a landslide vote for either candidate.

Speaker 7 (40:25):
Dave Donald Trump is actually able to win all of
these swing states by let's say that he wins all
of them by a minimum of call two to three
points instead of points two or point three points. Well,
then I'm not sure that you have the same situation
as twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Yes, Josh Hammer with Newsweek. He told kt erasers, absolutely
no reason it should take this long to get election results.
We're the only first world country that even has this problem.
More than two million Texas have voted early so far,
out of our eighteen million registered voters. The tally from
yesterday seven hundred and thirty thousand statewide, including one hundred

(41:00):
and fifteen thousand here in Harris County, is six h two.
Latest polling from Emerson College has the US Senate race
tied now between Ted Cruz and Colin Allread. They say
it's a dead heat. Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris in
the latest Wall Street Journal poll by two points nationally.
Her dropping polls attributed to Harris's wandering rhetoric. Instead of

(41:26):
actually talking about policy her policy.

Speaker 36 (41:30):
She focused a lot more on Donald Trump, I think
it's fair to say, than she did on many specifics
in terms of what she would do as president.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Jake Tapper trying to give her some cover after last
night's Harris's town hall on CNN. She doesn't get up
close and personal with her supporters, unlike Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Now what should I know before I go vote?

Speaker 2 (41:58):
So I have an idea. Are you right outside? Now,
let's go outside and talk to him. Okay, let's do that.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Yeah, he actually left the interior where he was holding
his town hall and went outside to talk to that
young man. Trump was in zebulon, Georgia yesterday, the first
of his couple of stops. He'll be in Texas tomorrow
taking an interview with Joe Rogan for his podcast of
nineteen million followers, and holding a news conference in Austin.

(42:27):
Harris is supposed to be in Houston tomorrow. We still
don't know where or what time left in meltdown mode
after the fired Trump Chief of staff John Kelly once
again claims that Trump wanted to quote generals like Hitler,
except that's already been debunked and is again by several
former Trump staffers who were there.

Speaker 37 (42:50):
Were there, ever, any incident, Secretary, that you have not
previously spoken about in which you heard Donald Trump use
similar language or refer to American military personnel in a
derogatory fashion.

Speaker 21 (43:02):
Now, not along the lines that John Kelly and others
have outlined.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
Former Defense Secretary Andrew Trump Mark Esper he was on CNN.
It's now six to so four Election day, twelve days.
Conservatives hope this year finally ends a string of chaotic
and disappointing election nights.

Speaker 10 (43:23):
After the projected red wave never materialized two years ago,
many Conservatives went back to the drawing board to find
why they've lost so many winnable elections. Writer and commentator
Andrew Widberg says it goes back to the old guard
Republican establishment.

Speaker 12 (43:36):
The GOP has been viewed as a somewhat elitist party.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
It was a gentleman's club, and.

Speaker 12 (43:41):
At the very top they still seem to feel that way.
You're not impolite, you don't call out cheating, and you're
very passionate.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
She notes.

Speaker 10 (43:49):
Donald Trump has changed that mentality. The GOP has also
finally embraced things like early voting and minority voter outreach,
which Democrats have dominated for years. Cory Jolson, who's Radio
seven forty KTRH, this is interesting.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
School choice, once considered a fringe issue, well, thirty three
states now have school choice, and doctor Richard Johnson says
it is actually this time out a sleeper election issue.

Speaker 11 (44:16):
Now nearly eighty percent of Texans are supporting school choice,
so we've seen it move from them of no entest
to grave interests in the state of Texans.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Yeah, President Trump does favor school choice. Kamala Harris and
her union backers do not. It is six oh six
impacts of the Biden Harris regime on our money. Dinnies
closing some one hundred and fifty what they call lower
volume locations now across the country. They're going to do
it by the end of next year. Company will also

(44:48):
consider going away from being open twenty four to seven.
Major pharmacy change like CBS Walgreens right a, they're announcing
massive closures across the country. They've already shut down hundreds
over the past few years.

Speaker 16 (45:02):
There's a lot of hands that are involved between the
insurance company, pharmacy brokers and the actual pharmacy themselves that
are taking a small cut of the profit. And at
the end of the day, I think these big pharmacy
chains are getting short changed.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
Yeah, KG or H. Medical expert doctor Joe Glotti says
is a sign of coming drug store deserts in places
urban and suburban already exist. In rural Texas, the city
of Montgomery gets his first big box hardware store when
Home Depot opens its stores this morning. Can you believe

(45:39):
that never had a big box hardware store up there,
Montgomery County, the way it's grown. Montgomery County Judge Marquillo says, well,
it's a huge development for them.

Speaker 17 (45:50):
The growth is just phenomenal. And these are single occupancy homes,
single occupancy vehicles where we need transportation and experiension of
transportation is going to continue to blow off major companies
to these various areas.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
There you have it. The news store will be creating
one hundred and thirty new jobs for that city. Montgomery
six oh seven is our time. The Rockets lost to
the Hornets one ten, one oh five at Toyota Center.

Radio seven forty KTRHM six on eight our time here
in Houston's morning news.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
AH the plight of the quarter pounder. McDonalds is down,
pulled quarter pounders from one in five US stores, even
though they aren't quite sure yet exactly what caused the
e coal I breakout, whether it's the burger that's the
problem or the sliced onions on the burger That might
be the problem, but they're not selling them in one

(46:59):
out of five US stores at the moment until they
figure out exactly what's going on. You were mentioning yesterday, Sharah,
and I pooh pooed it, and I shouldn't have poop
pooed that. You found the timing of this all very interesting.
Donald Trump goes to McDonald's all of a sudden, and.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
He's getting such positive press from it, and all.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Of a sudden, we have an E Coli outbreak.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Interesting.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Well, I did actually send you something I found yesterday afternoon.
It was a report that I saw in GAB that
was the CDC. Apparently this outbreak was actually discovered October eleventh.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
And didn't get reported, uh uh until.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
After until after Donald Trump went to McDonald's and all
of a sudden, the CDC comes.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Out with this interesting.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
Happened that it happened in Colorado Arizona border for you
know that swear states all this.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Stuff that clearly is not a coincidence.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
There seven people who claim to have had it were
in the same family. Did they all eat quarter pounders
or you know, I mean, when you read this actual
report that I did. It was on GAB, but it
was from the CDC.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Well, supposely we've had forty nine people who died.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
I'm not convinced that it wasn't some sort of conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, supposedly we've had forty nine people who got ill.
We had ten who had been hospitalized. One person died.
What we don't know is the specific specific cause of that,
but we know it's food poisoning of some sort.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
But typically the CDC comes in and they demand that
places closed down, the FDA somebody. They didn't close this McDonald's, right,
they didn't close them, and they waited two weeks to
be making a noise about it to the public. So
what is that all about.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Well, they would probably tell you, well, we just didn't
get around to it, or they betther chalk it up
like the Secret Service does to government and competence, when
in reality, maybe they wouldn't normally have reported something that

shut down a company that you start paying attention to
what it really is happening there?

Speaker 2 (49:01):
If the if the goal here, let's put this way.
If the goal here was to punish McDonald's, guess what
they did. They did. It worked that they forced McDonald's to,
like I said, stop serving quarter pounders and a whole
bunch of different stores until they, you know, figure out
exactly what happened for sure. And in the meantime it's
bad for business, bad for publicity, and bad for the
bottom line.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
And these are franchise stores, right, so it's different owners.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah. Done, You're not always punishing the corporation. You're you're
you're punishing the little guy that actually runs that store.

We have no guests at this time, so I have
actually time to play this. This is a little bit long.
I apologize ahead of time, but it's good stuff. Greg Guttfeld,
riffing on the plagiarism.

Speaker 38 (54:34):
So back in two thousand and seven, it written testimony
to Congress, d Kamala Ayers showed herself capable ofsm truly
inspired argumentation.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
There was only one problem.

Speaker 38 (54:44):
That inspiring language wasn't hers see when she wasn't just
lifting a wineglass, she was lifting all those sentences. According
to the Washington Free Beacon, Kamala's statement in support of
a loan repayment plan for local prosecutors was taken on
verbatim from an Illinois to DA's opinion on the same
subject that was given to the Senate months prior. Roughly

(55:07):
eighty percent of her testimony was copied word for word
from that old guy over there, KYL Logley of Winnebago County, Illinois, who,
by the way is a Republican Holy that's like me
stealing jokes from Jimmy Kimmel. I never do that, not
because he's my competition, but because he has cancer of

(55:29):
the funny bone. But that's not the only time she
committed stolen verbiage. While she was California AG she published
a report on sex trafficking in her state. In that
she copied a fictional, fictional example of the type of
call received by the National Human Trafficking Hotline, which told
the story of how a woman in DC was saved

(55:51):
from forced prostitution. But in a report Harris said never
said the story was fake. Instead, she changed the location
to a friend to get credit.

Speaker 10 (56:02):
For a rescue that never actually happened.

Speaker 38 (56:06):
There are other examples, but this is at least the
second time Harris has been caught in a blatant act
of plagiarism. Now all this comes on the heels of
a report that Kamala lifted entire sections of her policy
book Smart on Crime. Who knew she was actually talking
about herself stealing. Even The New York Times, which initially
rushed to defender, finally had.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
To admit her thievery.

Speaker 38 (56:28):
But the real point isn't Kamala's serial plagiarism. It's how
in the past this would end a campaign. It would
lead every newscast, This would be the October surprise. I mean,
this is way worse than what sunk Joe Biden in
eighty seven when he was caught stealing speeches from a
British leader. She grew up in a middle class family

(56:48):
that was pretty well off. She's an American that spent
her formative years in Canada, and she's going to say
democracy after she plotted a coup against her boss. I
don't even know what Doug seasoner since she won't put
him down for a nap. In fact, she might be
the least honest politician ever. Listen to her on the
Biden declined cover up.

Speaker 39 (57:09):
Can you say that you were honest with the American
people about what you saw in those moments with President
Biden as you were with him again and again repeatedly
in that time.

Speaker 8 (57:18):
Of course, Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced and.

Speaker 2 (57:29):

Speaker 39 (57:36):
Trust you in these moments, even when it's maybe uncomfortable
for Americans to have to level with Americans in that way.

Speaker 8 (57:43):
I speak with not only sincerity, but with a real
first hand account of watching him do this work.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
I have no reluctance in.

Speaker 17 (58:31):
She should?

Good morning everyone. Is now six thirty two on news

turn out to see Donald Trump rallying in Deluth, Georgia
ahead of the election. Trump, with some help from his friends.

Speaker 34 (01:01:22):
It's the party of weirdos, of envy, of hate, a
resentment of bitterness.

Speaker 10 (01:01:28):

Former Fox host Tucker Carlson talking about the Democrats. Country
music star Jason Alden warmed up that crowd as well.
He's been leading renewal efforts for western North Carolina. Trump
promised to secure the border the way he did in
his first term. And then there's Kamala Harris. When asked

(01:01:54):
by CNN's Anderson Cooper why she did nothing to address
the border until claiming to this year.

Speaker 8 (01:02:02):
Why not do in twenty two, twenty twenty three, because
we were working with Congress and hoping that actually we
could have a long term fix to the problem instead
of a short term thing.

Speaker 4 (01:02:12):
She was in a town hall in Pennsylvania. She blamed
Trump for the border disaster, consequences of the invasion playing
out here in Houston.

Speaker 16 (01:02:22):
And we had a significant seizure a metaphetamine conversion laboratory
inside of a house in North Houston.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
Yeah, the FBI Harris County DA announcing that two illegal
aliens from Mexico were arrested in a meth bust. Local

protect her identity, but she is the lead investigator with
the sex trafficking prevention group Shepherd's Watch.

Speaker 26 (01:03:13):
The only way that we're going to make indent is
to shut the border down. That's the only way that
you're going to stop sex trafficking rings.

tasked to do.

Speaker 29 (01:05:10):
I think the space shuttles were the last thing to
really capture the imagination of the public, and then that
sort of ended disastrously. They're no longer even really competing
on the world. They're just competing on what agency of
the federal government can outwoke each other.

comes to dogs in pets in general, I try really
hard to thread the needle on the relationship I have

(01:07:34):
with with our pets. I don't want to be the
person who treats their pets poorly, you know, who leaves
them outside all the time, lets them wander around, keeps
them chained up, that kind of stuff. I never want
to be that person. I try real hard not to
be the one who equates that dog to a human child.

(01:07:55):
He's not a human. I try just try to treat
them right, love all over them and they love me back,
and that's it. And that's kind of where this story
goes for me. I realized there are people who like
to dress up their dogs, but how many dogs really
like to get dressed up? It's what I would ask.

(01:08:17):
Crocs came out with a line of boots for dogs, boots,
you know, Croc boots. Boots like shoes. Dogs don't need shoes.
But that didn't stop them from selling out on the
first day. And we're not talking about necessarily a super
cheap purpose. The boots were selling for fifty bucks. Now

(01:08:39):
here's my first question, is that for two or for four.
If it's for four, it's not such a bad deal.
If it's for two, not so much. Fifty bucks for
boots for dogs, human clogs, they glow in the dark,
they glow in the dark, green or pink, your choice,
sold out on the first day, and I thought, I

(01:09:00):
wonder how many people are buying their their dog a
Halloween costume this year and dressing up their dog. We
seem to have gotten really into that aspect of and
maybe this, maybe this is part of the reason why
we have fewer and fewer human beings being born. I
have some thoughts on this, Yes, please please share in.

Speaker 4 (01:09:20):
Texas on asphalt. If you've ever walked a dog that
doesn't have tough urban areas, yeah urban. I've seen dogs
get the paths of their feet just totally burned.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
You gotta be careful, they're crippled.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
So I'm thinking, you know, sometimes you've got the dog
with you and you're going someplace and you have to
walk across a huge expanse of asphalt, and what do
you do that poor dog hot foot in it? I mean,
I've had that happen, So I wonder about that. Lem
And then there are people in their homes who have
big dogs and they scratch the hell out of your

(01:09:54):
hardwood floors. Mmmmm okay, So maybe some padded booties are
a good thing inside the house, So I mean, I
could see a use for it, But doing it for
fashion and paying a lot of many in order to
have the sheikhest dog, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Yeah, I don't think if you're trying to save the
hardwood Fords, I don't think you're out buying crocs. It
might be you might be buying some sort of padded thing.
How mean, how hard would it be for a dog
to actually walk in crocs. You wouldn't wouldn't be wouldn't
they be stepping around like they're stepping in a bunch
of you know what I mean. That can't be really
easy for them to get used to. I wouldn't think,
especially because crocs are kind of sticky, you know, they

(01:10:30):
kind of stick the store.

Speaker 4 (01:10:31):
I have a nighpor with a golden doodle, and I
see that dog and it has all little booties on
every time she's out walking that dog. Okay, don't know
exactly why, but I thought, well, there's a kind you
can take off and throw on the washing machine.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Yeah, well that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (01:10:43):
She doesn't want the dog tracking stuff into the house.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):

the Teamsters, didn't give an endorsement to either candidate. His way,

(01:13:12):
I think of trying to save face with Democrats he
may now be regretting that because the Democrats continue to
call him out. Tim Walls what Tim Waltz had to
say about the teamsters and Shawn O'Brien's reaction to it
coming up next. First, though, traffic and weather together, and
that starts with us, guy Mike. That's a lot of

She's absolutely terrible your decision twenty twenty four headquarters is
Youth Radio, seventy KTRH SEGE fifty two is our time
here in Houston Sporting News.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
So Tim Maltz, the vice presidential candidate, of course, the
knucklehead said a knucklehead thing. Why when you are when
you know your well? This tells you how much of
a problem they know they have in places like Michigan,
with members of the Teamsters Union who no longer support Democrats,
at least the majority of them no longer support Democrats,

(01:16:03):
and Sean O'Brien, who's the head of the Teamsters Union
no longer willing to endorse Democrats. Tim Walls said something
kind of well knuckleheady about it all and got Sean
O'Brien's reaction.

Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
These are folks who are directly responsible their members and
look their members.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
Some of them split off. The bottom line is, how
can you be with a guy who.

Speaker 42 (01:16:24):
Wants to buster your unions not there to make collective bargaining,
the right not to make health care there.

Speaker 29 (01:16:30):
But that is the tongue of business that I don't
quite under said.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
So you're talking about some of those leaders showed the
courage they needed to right. Vast majority of union leaders
showed the courage they're back to top.

Speaker 43 (01:16:40):
Yeah, that's kind of a knucklehead statement. I show courage
every single day. Our organization shows courage every day, and
to make statements it's kind of disrespectful to our members
and the process. He's talking like an educator, like he
is in a classroom teaching a lesson. The lesson that
needs to be taught is that our members don't need
to be educated. Our members are educated.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
In other words, our members can make up their own
minds about who they want to support and why. Good
for him for saying, yeah, I think it's more courageous
for the traditional union like the Teamsters to not endorse
a Democratic candidate than it would be to endorse that.
I mean that they gave the rubbers stamp two candidates
you know Democrat candidates for four decades, they're not willing

(01:17:25):

At least seven hundred and thirty thousand people voted early
statewide yesterday, making the three day total now more than
two million of our eighteen million registered voters. So much
for hoping this election will go more smoothly than it
did in twenty twenty, and now Fox's decision desk head says, well,
it might take four days to be able to call

(01:21:27):
the election.

Speaker 6 (01:21:29):
Many of the issues from twenty twenty in key swing
states still haven't been corrected.

Speaker 7 (01:21:33):
When you have situations like twenty twenty, all you're going
to do is just continue to sew greater and greater
mistrust and distrust in the electoral process.

Josh Hammer with Newsweek says this isn't really a problem
in any other First World countries.

New polling from The Wall Street Journal last night giving
Donald Trump a two point lead over Kamala Harris forty

struggling her radical policies, if you learn about them, as
well as, of course, her word salads.

Speaker 21 (01:23:37):
Too.

Speaker 12 (01:23:37):
Many conservative voters are such purists. They demand one hundred

They will sit out and allow a.

Yeah, Democrats always fall in line vote as a block.
So far Republican early voting turnout, though, is far outpacing
what it was in recent elections not hearing much about this,
but school choice is also on the ballot Sharah.

The parent empowerment movement across America had now swe I've
been to just about every state, about thirty three states
that it has no former school choice.

Kamala Harris is not in favor of the school choice,
but former President Trump is just like most of the

Stay in touch on your drive in with Jimmy Barrett

the prices of used cars. Remember how they were going
through the roof there for a while.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
Not anymore. They're headed down. Used car prices have slumped,
especially if you used car as an EV. So how
much have EV prices gone down? Used evs? The Tesla
Model three has dropped twenty four point eight percent. Wow,

(01:27:15):
that's compared to just last September. The rest of the
entry level EV's, the Bolt, the Neuro, the Leaf that
have recently become used cars, they have seen a similar decrease.
Luxury cars too, The Maserati, Levante and Mercedes Benz AMGGT
have also dropped in the same general area of twenty

(01:27:37):
four points percent just since last September. While it's easy,
or attempting to blame EV depreciation on the cooled TV market.
In general, we're told that rapidly advancing EV tech means
that two or three year old electric vehicles are in
Ald grew stare of the art. In other words, the
ones they're putting out. If you're really interested in EV
you want one that's got rained right, And a lot

(01:27:57):
of them coming out now have a three hundred mile
ploug range that evs didn't have two or three years ago,
and that's driving the price down. But we've seen what happens,
you know, with car prices. The used car market there
was really super hot for a while. The sevs went
through the roof. Now not so much. Ye know, it's important,
I guess to know this stuff, just because you know,

(01:28:19):
if you're going to buy a used car, you want
to make sure. You want to try to make sure
it's going to have some value a few years down
the road in case you want to sell it. All right,

it this morning.

Speaker 19 (01:29:50):
Yeah, I saw a couple of places with some fog.
Let me update this just to see where things might
have changed. Yeah, we're seeing a little fog. Report has
less than a quarter of a mile. Wharton is also
reporting about a quarter mile visibility, So yeah, it's here
and there. It's not widespread. We're going to see it

(01:30:10):
the next couple of mornings. Because our humidity is higher,
the winds very light overnight, so that allows the fog
to form, but it doesn't hang around very long. The
dense Fog advisory that's in effect will cease to exist
as of nine o'clock this morning. Sunshine and warm temperatures
like we've been doing all week long. That'll continue into Monday,
mid to upper nineties actually into Tuesday, I think, and

(01:30:33):
then Wednesday.

That's when I have my fingers crossed.

Speaker 16 (01:33:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
Ain't nothing funky going on in this room? All right?
Jake Novack is with US political and economic analyst. What
do you put more stock in, Jake, the the traditional
polls that we you know, the Harris Pole and all
these other traditional polls, or do you maybe put more
stock in who is backing who and who's who's actually
out there betting on Trump or Harris to win? The race.

Speaker 42 (01:33:47):
Yeah, I think that the reason why I would believe
that the betting markets, and I believe the betting markets
are more accurate as far as picking a winner. They
don't pick the point spreads as well for those of
you who do your football betting, they don't do the
point spreads as well, but they do a better job
of picking the overall winner. And the reason is not
because they're smarter or they have so much more insider information.
It's because they're much more agile, Jimmy. They are able

(01:34:11):
to move much quicker. A poll, even if they're a
skewed poll in favor of one party or the other,
has to actually go through the motions of doing the surveys.
The betting markets can feel the data, look at the
data as it's coming in to meet and can adjust
right away. They don't have to do all the groundwork
and all the legwork. So that is why they're better,
quote unquote better when it comes to choosing the winner,

(01:34:32):
given the same amount of time to go through all
their data. I think the traditional polls are just as good,
but you know you see it, and I mean the poll,
the poly market and some of these other betting sites
that follow these elections. They move on the hour, every hour,
sometimes even more often than every hour, and that's why
they have a better track record, because they have that
agility that a traditional pole.

Speaker 17 (01:34:53):
Does not have.

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
I read one thing this morning saying that you cannot
always get people who want to vote to give you
the name because they're afraid they'll be ridiculed, whether it's
Trump or Kamala Harris. But if you ask them who
they think they're vote their neighbors are voting for, you're
seeing that Donald Trump is winning.

Speaker 42 (01:35:15):
Yeah, that's always a great I always suggest people to
ask that question when they're doing any kind of a poll.
And look, I actually think Donald Trump has been winning
in the polls since the June twenty seventh Biden debacle.
At that debate, and as bad as a candidate, Kamala
Harris has been, she has been a complete I didn't
think she would ever close the deal with the American public,

(01:35:36):
and in her defense, she didn't have a very large
window to do it. But she did not close the
deal with the American public. But her new name, the
new name getting into the public's eye. Most Americans didn't
know who the vice president was before she was made
the candidate.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
That's usually the case. It's not just a Kamala thing.

Speaker 42 (01:35:50):
Most people don't on any given day don't know the
name of the vice president. So it created what we
call them polling statistical noise. Oh there's a new name.

Speaker 14 (01:35:58):
Who is this person?

Speaker 42 (01:35:59):
Just basically skewed the polls for a while. I was
wrong for how long it was going to last. I
thought a would only last six weeks or so. It
seems like it lasted maybe ten weeks. But I actually
believe the polls have been right where they are now
since June twenty seventh. I think this was an unwinnable
race for the Democrats, who can't replace your candidate that
late in the game and not have a tremendously damaged brand.

(01:36:19):
They could have had Tom Hanks as they replacement candidate
and it would have been an uphill battle. As it
turns out, they had a terrible candidate. So everything's kind
of reverting back to the norms of I guess.

Speaker 14 (01:36:28):
Four months ago.

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
But media has painted the Kamala that people don't even
really know a lot of about her policies. The ones
who are the craziest about her because they just followed
the medialy. Do you think alternative media and especially something
like Twitter has turned the tide on this.

Speaker 42 (01:36:45):
Well, it helped make it difficult for them to plausibly
explain why they weren't putting her out in front of
the public for the first six weeks of her campaign.
You know, if you think that the softball interviews were
softball interviews, when they finally started allowing her to have
those interviews, can you imagine what they would have been
like in the first two weeks after she replaced Biden.

(01:37:05):
It would have been like a junior mispageant interview. It
would have been all about how excited she is to
be there, and I'll talk policy later. And she would
have probably gotten away with that because it was just
so new. But by waiting six or seven weeks, waiting
until after she picked Tim Wallas, for example, there was
no other choice but to ask her, even in these
friendly interviews, a couple of policy questions, which is where
she fumbled so badly. She didn't do too terribly talking

(01:37:28):
about her biography, but when she started talking about her
biography when they wanted policy answers, that was a disaster.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
Yeah, And so I think that was a huge mistake. Well,
I think Jake too that the closing argument seems to
be Trump is Hitler. And when when you're opening argument
and your closing argument are the same, then you know
how desperate things have become. Thanks for joining us. Good

You're going to have a larger number of sex trafficking rings.
Do you have a large number of people that are
paying off debt to the cartels, a large number of
unaccompanied miners that end up in trafficking rings.

The lead investigator there with a sex trafficking prevention group

that were leaked. The documents describe satellite images of Israeli
warplanes leaving hangars practicing air refueling last week for potential
long range bombing runs, and indication the planes could be

used to target Iran. No information about the target's Israel
plans to strike were leaked.

Federal government waste in wokeness, NASA spending millions on DEI

grants while facing a budget crisis.

Speaker 18 (01:43:27):
The woke culture has taken over federal agencies and NASA's
the latest fool.

Speaker 29 (01:43:31):
They have budget shortfalls in every main area that is
supposed to be NASA's mission except one, and that's diversity,
equity and inclusion.

Speaker 18 (01:43:40):
Mark Marino of the Climate Depot says this has been
going on since Obama and we live in a world
now where SpaceX has passed NASA.

Speaker 29 (01:43:47):
NASA's golden age is clearly long past, and I think
the DEI just showed it, and I think they are
feeding their mission.

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

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
It is seven thirty eight now here in Houston's Morning news.
What do you say in early this morning you were
craving French fries.

Speaker 4 (01:45:29):
Yeah, I was headed for to buy a double order
of McDonald's french fries yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
Okay, because I was.

Speaker 4 (01:45:36):
I was just getting so incensed by this whole thing.
You know you want to be my conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (01:45:42):
Yes, you want to give them some?

Speaker 4 (01:45:43):
You know what I haven't. I love McDonald's French fries.
I hadn't had them in a long time, so I
think I'll go buy some. And then my husband came
home and he tires, Ok, tires, wasn't there McDonald's by
the run tire treads on, no dreads on another home
the tires. He had to have three new tires.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
Wasn't there like a McDonald's drive through anywhere near?

Speaker 4 (01:46:05):
Well, it wasn't on the route I had it planned for.

Speaker 2 (01:46:09):
Where I was going, and I was forced him into
a detour?

Speaker 4 (01:46:12):
Are you kidding me? I had to stay focused on
getting him where he needed to be in my vehicle.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
Wow, the squeaky wheel gets the grease in your house.

Speaker 11 (01:46:20):
Though.

Speaker 4 (01:46:20):
I'll tell you what I try to do my part
home and family. Well there you go, so and I thought, well,
I don't really need the calories anyway, but there's always today.

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
There is that. You might have heard that there was
a few yelp reviews of the McDonald's and Pennsylvania the
President Trump was at. Some of them were not very complimentary,
and they were putting down the McDonald's for having him there,
and then there were others that were very complimentary. Fox
Business still will report on it before they pulled the
yelp review thing down.

Speaker 46 (01:46:50):
Take me to McDonald's please, where Donald Trump took over
as a fry cook. That McDonald's that he worked at
is being inundated with reviews on Yelptly, what are people saying?

Speaker 2 (01:47:01):
Fun with it?

Speaker 31 (01:47:02):
The yelp side itself saw an influx of comments describing
Trump's criminal convections, his demeanor, and customer service skills, along
with one star reviews for that particular McDonald's in Feastsville, Pennsylvania.
One reviewer said, quote, the fries were too salty, as
if someone who lost a major election had been crying

(01:47:23):
over them for an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
All Right, I guess that's kind of clever.

Speaker 31 (01:47:26):
But another wrote the best McDonald's I've ever been to
in forty seven years. The older employee was extremely nice.
Make McDonald's great again, Bring back the dollar menu.

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
Make McDonald's great again. I love it.

Speaker 36 (01:47:40):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:47:41):
I just get so tired of all these British accents
on American politics.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
H really Yeah, and in that case, on box business together.

Speaker 4 (01:47:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
Yeah, I'm tired of it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:55):
We've gone through this now for twenty years or more.

Speaker 2 (01:47:58):
Sure. Yeah, all right, Stuart Barney.

Speaker 4 (01:48:00):
Americans talk about America.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
Here's your challenge, all right, because obviously you live in
the United States and you probably are in America. Now
drop the accent. We could, you could? You can? You
can sound like you're from the Midwest.

Speaker 4 (01:48:13):
Somehow American accents got put in the rank of hicks.
If you speak like an American, you're a Hick.

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
Well, that used to be the rap against the Southern accent.
It still is, Yeah, I guess it is to a
certain extent.

Speaker 4 (01:48:24):
The haughtiness was which people try to portray a Southern
accent just really just makes my teeth.

Speaker 2 (01:48:29):
Yeah, I hear you. Seven forty time for traffic and
weather together.

Speaker 3 (01:48:32):
We should do for McDonald's what we did for Chick
fil A back when they left attack.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
I'll tell you what though, Let's let's let's let's go
ahead and if we're going to do this, let's do
this right. Let's not just get French fise. Let's get
a quarter pounder with cheese too. Let's get Eddie involved
on extra onions. Blaze big time, supersize me.

Speaker 4 (01:48:49):
I want to forget the onions just a case.

Speaker 3 (01:48:51):
Lord Freeway, Sharah, we've got guess where that rex reported
right across from McDonald's southbound at tid Well Max Max.
On the other side, we're back step now from Green's
Point and that looks like a super sized backup.

Speaker 2 (01:49:04):
Now twenty four extra minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:49:05):
Of North Freeway please big shots to the Hardingtell road commoners,
the east text is actually looking pretty good once you
get this side of Porter Now. On the East Tex southbound,
we had an earlier wreck at North Park that's gone.
We're still plumb backed up from Porter on the Katie Freeway.
It's breaks from Graham Parkway and we're still struggling Terry
with that.

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
He wasn't hazardous, but that's a flatbed.

Speaker 3 (01:49:26):
That jackknife Southwest Freeway at Beach Nut hit his solid
breaks from highway ninety, so jump on all ninety the
Most City Expressway instead or the West Park Tollway. I'm

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
From r KTRH Generators super Center twenty four hour whether
the center Terry is here. Another morning without a cloud,
endless sky, I don't know where we're ever going to
get him moisture. If we can't even come up with
a cloud or two for this sixth it does make.

Speaker 4 (01:49:51):
It hard well eventually.

Speaker 19 (01:49:54):
So what's been interesting is we're getting a little more
in the way of Pacific storms in Washington and Oregon
that they moved through and they stay well to the north.
But eventually one of those, looks like early next week
will make its way close enough to us.

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
To drag in some moisture. So we'll keep our fingers crossed.
That's what I'm doing at this point because a change.

Speaker 19 (01:50:16):
In the pattern would be quite welcome, not just by
meteorologists but by people everywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:50:21):
In Southeast Texas. I think, yeah, so sunny, hot, and dry.

Speaker 19 (01:50:25):
I mean these temperatures running five to ten degrees above
the north, mid upper eighties today into early next week,
a couple of nineties in there, and that slight possibility
of some rain by Wednesday.

There's nobody, no Democrat talk camp about pathway to citizenship,
an immigration belief that the benefits.

Speaker 2 (01:53:30):
That migrants bring to this country.

Speaker 40 (01:53:33):
But there's no question that migrants bring the America is
a country that was built in part by immigrants.

Speaker 8 (01:53:44):
My plans will strengthen American's economy.

Speaker 39 (01:53:46):
Former President Trump believes you on this issue.

Speaker 8 (01:53:48):
Well, when I'm out, this is why I'm going out
to Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (01:53:51):
Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Michigan, excuse me, just got in lately
this morning. Actually, can you say.

Speaker 39 (01:53:59):
That you were honest the American people about what you
saw in those moments with President Biden? Of course, you
never saw anything like what happened at the debate night
behind closed doors with him.

Speaker 2 (01:54:08):
It was a bad debate.

Speaker 39 (01:54:09):
That's the reason why you're here and he's not running
for the top of the ticket.

Speaker 8 (01:54:14):
Well, you'd have to ask him if that's the only reason.

Speaker 39 (01:54:16):
Why can the American people trust you in these moments,
even when it's maybe uncomfortable for Americans to have to
level with Americans in that way.

Speaker 2 (01:54:23):
I speak with not.

Speaker 8 (01:54:25):
Only sincerity, but with a real first hand account of
watching him do this work.

Speaker 48 (01:54:34):
We've now entered stalker territory with her. All she does
is talk about Trump. She's looking backwards. She's focused on
Trump instead of looking to tomorrow talking about Kamala Harris
because everybody still is wondering about her.

Speaker 2 (01:54:45):
She never gives anybody a hint. You look at her
economic agenda.

Speaker 48 (01:54:48):
It's like when you go to a restaurant, you look
at the menu and you're like, what is this place?

Speaker 2 (01:54:54):
Nothing looks good.

Speaker 48 (01:54:56):
It's all confusing, and then your friends ask you what
you have the night before and you like don't even remember.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
You're like, was it veal? I just know it was expensive.

Speaker 48 (01:55:06):
And then she asked the same question every time, did
you see anything from Joe Biden that concerned you? Whatever
she says, she's gonna come off as a liar. If
she says she saw something, well, she never told.

Speaker 2 (01:55:20):
Us she saw something, so she's part of the cover up.
And if she says she never saw.

Speaker 48 (01:55:23):
Anything, no one believes that because obviously everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
Saw that, So she's a liar. She's too faced.

Speaker 48 (01:55:29):
On Telemundo a month ago, she was at the border
saying she's gonna get tough, and now she's saying, oh, yes,
amnesty for everybody. Donald Trump is closing with positive vibes.
She's doing msg, he did Gutfeld, he's in barber shops,
he's in football games, he's doing Rogan. These are the
types of things that break through. She's closing in this

(01:55:51):
kind of sad, traditional way.

Speaker 2 (01:55:53):
Sixty minutes. The view Brett bar and those.

Speaker 48 (01:55:56):
Interviews are bombing Brett Rich traditional interviews and the energy
coming out of those have all been negative.

Speaker 2 (01:56:06):
You got to throw Britt Bear under the bus. But
that's okay.

Speaker 4 (01:56:10):
Well, a media is no kidding Brett Panda bear is
what they're referring to him as.

Speaker 2 (01:56:17):
Okay, Well, I would have to say that. You know,
the difference between the two campaigns right now is is
like night and day. You know, Trump. Trump has policies,
He's closing with those policies. He's hitting he's hitting home
on the things that people care about. He's fine tuned
his message to make it going to end.

Speaker 4 (01:56:39):
The nightmare of the last four years exactly. That's pretty understandable.

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (01:56:43):
Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

Speaker 2 (01:56:48):
It's really that simple when you get right down to it.
And you know, even though she's had plenty of times
to deal with the question, she's still hasn't been able
to come up with some sort of palpable lie about
immigration or I mean she just turned it.

Speaker 4 (01:57:03):
Also told a faith group yesterday we welcome Christians to
our followers of Jesus to our rallies exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:57:11):
Yep, yep. I think that, like I said yesterday, this
feels much more like twenty sixteen to me than twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:57:17):
It feels like nothing I've ever seen. I just I've
just never seen, which is, I've never seen a campaign like.

Speaker 2 (01:57:24):
This, Which is not to say we're going to have
some sort of landslide or anything like that. Quite the opposite.

Speaker 14 (01:57:28):
It will.

Speaker 2 (01:57:28):
It will be very close.

Speaker 4 (01:57:29):
I don't think. I don't know what it's going to be.
I just know that it's going to be contested, and
it's going to be ugly. It's going to be ugly.

Speaker 2 (01:57:36):
Is the morning after the election, you and I will
not be able to declare a winner in any way,
shape or form.

Speaker 4 (01:57:41):
As as long as we don't have to sit here
like we did in twenty twenty and watch the race
totally flip as all of a sudden, coordinated shutdowns occurred
in battleground.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
States or if that happens again.

Speaker 4 (01:57:51):
Specific counties, I don't want to have to witness.
