It smells funny right here too, But watch out, I
think this is clear. I'm double check in.

Speaker 3 (00:59):

It looks like whatever happened there is out of the way.
Now they're picking up roadwork on the West loops southbound
at the Southwest Freeway. Those ramp closures should be finished

traffic center from.

We talked to Terry Smith at the Weather Channel in
nine minutes. Temperature right now is seventy four at your
official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty k t RH.

(01:39):
It is time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Good morning. Everyone. Is now five o two on news
radio seven forty KTRH and our top story this hour.
This is what the current president really thinks of us.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
The only garbage I see floating down there is his supporters.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Joe Biden at a virtual Kamala Harris campaign event li
sight badging Trump supporters. The White House claimed Joe was
referencing a joke made by the comic Tony Hinchcliff, known
as kill Tony, at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, but
it was too late. Donald Trump did respond.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
Remember Hillary, she said deplorable and then she said irredievable, right.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
But she said deplorable. That didn't work out garbage.

Speaker 8 (02:23):
I think is.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Worse telling the thousands that is Allentown, Pennsylvania rally. Quote.
Please forgive him for he not knoweth what he said.
The attacks on Trump continued though, with Kamala Harris's speech
at the Ellipse in Washington, d C.

Speaker 9 (02:39):
Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the
American people divided.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
And afraid of each other. That is who he is.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, Harris at the site of Trump's speech on January
sixth of twenty twenty one. The mainstream media ignoring her
rhetoric to concentrate on the crowd size. Media has tried
to shut down Trump at every turn, but he just
gets more popular with every hit piece.

Speaker 10 (03:09):
So are these attacks against Trump actually helping him win votes?

Speaker 11 (03:13):
There is definitely this kind of comeback narrative where you know,
he was in the wilderness for four years, and I
think there is a little bit of this underdog factor.

Speaker 10 (03:21):
Max a Lot with Election betting Ons dot Com says
people just have bigger concerns than what the left says
about Trump.

Speaker 11 (03:27):
There's been really high inflation under Harris, the order wasn't
under control, and Trump is also running ads pointing out
how she's been very extreme.

Speaker 10 (03:35):
Lot says the focus on attacking Trump this cycle is
a result of Harris's weakness as a candidate. Ethan Buchanan
News Radio seven forty KRH it's No.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Five oh four. Early voting continue in Texas. Big numbers
reported coming now out of North Texas. Political scientist Matthew
Wilson says that's not good news for Democrats here.

Speaker 12 (03:55):
You'd rather have these numbers if you're a Republican that
have these numbers, if you're a.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
Demo, Yeah, Wilson talking to Dallas TV. Early voting runs
through this Friday. Arizona now in the Leans Republican camp
according to Fox's latest power rankings. The other six swing states,
they say those still took close to call.

Speaker 13 (04:16):
The fact that it's dependent on a number of swing
states is not unusual. The fact that the election is
so close nationally and in all the swing states is
very unusual.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
SMUs cal Jillson. Now Fox gives Trump two hundred and
thirty Electoral College votes two hundred and twenty six for Harris.
We're gonna have live at Luncheon night coverage though, starting
Tuesday seven pm here on ktr KTRH dot com and
the iHeartRadio app is now five five. In a new
report from the liberal Washington Post, Donald Trump's plan to

(04:51):
close the Department of Education is drawing support from Republican
candidates across the country.

Speaker 14 (04:57):
You saw the Polsites coming out in Texas at show
huge majority support school toys. So now that's why we're
seeing other politicians pick this up in Texas and around
the country. The education of our children belongs to local governments.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Sherry Sylvester with a Texas Public Policy Foundation. She joins
Houston's Morning News at seven twenty Doctors. Meantime, we're told
they're covering up crucial and even damning data in order
to ensure the profit motive of more kids being transitioned.

Speaker 15 (05:32):
They refuse to release data showing negative effects of puberty blockers.

Speaker 16 (05:36):
It's unfathomable to me that there are doctors out there
doing this. I've been in practice for twenty years, and
when I.

Speaker 17 (05:42):
Was in training, this was not a thing.

Speaker 15 (05:43):
Doctor Mary Boden says medical schools have indoctrinated students into
thinking this is normal.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
While bad parenting is to blame. Most of it's on physicians.

Speaker 16 (05:52):
Doctors should be educating these parents into confirming, but they're
not the bucks up with the doctor who's prescribing the adication.

Speaker 15 (06:00):
She says, fixing this issue starts with denormalizing it. On
Ray Ferrard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
It's now five oh six looking at our money. The
IRS recently put out the tax brackets for next year,
adjusted for inflation, but Grover Norquist with Americans for Tax
Reform tells KTRH, if we really want a tax break,
vote for Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

Speaker 18 (06:24):
Enator Ted Cruz introduced legislation that has had the support
of Trump, which would protect your capital games from being
taxed on inflation.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Every bracket has changed for twenty twenty five. In your
income Standard deductions increased by four hundred dollars for individuals,
eight hundred for married couples. Overnight futures in the Nasdaq,
and S and P five hundred are continuing their trend
of yesterday. Dow futures are down after losing one hundred
and fifty four points yesterday, but it was early this

(06:55):
morning the gold shot passed twenty eight hundred dollars an
ounce for the first time in history. Even with the
uncertainty of the paper dollar, the majority of Americans are
not buying into cryptocurrency, concerned about its safety and reliability.

Speaker 19 (07:12):
That's according to a new Pew Research poll that says
sixty three percent of those asking aren't buying it. Lone
Star College professor Hank Lewis noticed that acceptance is divided
by generation and gender.

Speaker 20 (07:24):
Men tend to be more open to investing or using
cryptocurrency than women. Younger people are more open to it
than older people are.

Speaker 21 (07:32):
He says.

Speaker 19 (07:32):
Another big reason it's a general mistrust of financial markets
right now. Michael Sharloh News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Five oh seven Texans wide receiver Stefan Diggs will be
missing the rest of the season is a torn acl
on his right knee. That Texas will be visiting the
Jets tomorrow night. I'm Sherber Fryer on news radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 9 (07:54):
I will probably put my record against here.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
She's absolutely terrible.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Your decision twenty twenty four headquarters is use radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Can you hold on five o eaters of time?

Speaker 5 (08:07):
Is that for me?

Speaker 22 (08:08):
This is?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
This is the crisis hotline? Could you please hold what?

Speaker 6 (08:12):
What do you mean?

Speaker 8 (08:14):
Hold?

Speaker 21 (08:17):
On?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Election night? Crisis lines won't stop ringing. According to this story,
on the night of the twenty twenty election, a social
worker her name is Caitlin, a social worker and crisis clinician,
was managing thirty conversations at a time utter crisis text line.
Thirty conversations and what I can't believe what's going on

(08:38):
with this election?

Speaker 5 (08:39):
She can text that fast?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
She must be ambidextrous or something. Wow. Some were fearful
for their future as part of the LGBTQ community. Others
were concerned about conspiracy theories or media bias in Some
worried that the election outcome would tear their family apart.
Sixty percent of you adults report that the twenty twenty
four presidential election is a significant source of stress in

(09:05):
their lives sixty nine percent. That reflects an increase from
fifty two percent in twenty sixteen. More than seven and
ten adults are worried that the election results could lead
to violence. Nearly one in three of experienced tension in
distance from their family members nine to eighty eight. The
National Suicide in Crisis Lifeline had an historic spike in

(09:25):
callers on election day in twenty sixteen, with caller volumes
rising approximately sixty five percent above expected. Well, this certainly
plays into my theory that we have lost our coping
mechanisms as a society. We are we are long past
the rubso dirt on it stage that some of us
were brought up with.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
And it plays into my belief, a long held belief
that people who have not paid attention are finally having
to wake up and it's scaring the hell out of them.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yep. Yeah, it's like waking up to what's happened to
this country. They're waking up to a nightmare. Yeah, they're
finally their eyes up.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
In golightly going around with their heads in this manner thinking, oh,
everything's suncky dory and nothing changes. They don't realize what
we're living in.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, well, if they're be an, if you feel that way,
you should be happy to know they're stocking up on
Christlist counselors for election nights, so there'll be places you
can call and people you can talk to.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
I'd just like to get more than two hours of
sleep again, you know. Well, that's why I was telling
me to hold on, hold on. I just have to
do this for another week.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
No, No, I don't think we're no a week from
today's next Wednesday. No, I do think. Well, I think
we'll still be in crisis mode by next Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Let me just tell everybody, losing is really something. When
I tell you, man, I just didn't getting to sleep
last night, and you said, yeah, you look really bad.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Oh you look tired.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
You look I'm worn out. I'm just worrying, trying to cover.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I guess not getting sleep is okay, as long as
it's not because you can't fall asleep or you can't
get sleeping out that stretch out right.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
I fell asleep listening to Trump last night, and then
I woke up add my nap.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
The President glad to know he put you to sleep.
Time for trafic exhaustion.

Speaker 5 (11:03):

Speaker 3 (11:04):

I know this is this is just what we need,
some brain, a little bit of sunshine as well, and
several days of rain. It's it's a slow moving situation
with that cold front that is headed our way right now.
That front's making its way into northern Texas. But we've
got such a steady flow of moisture off the golf

(12:51):
that most of us will get somewhat weather at some
point today.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherah with the
info you need to take on the day.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
It is five nineteen here in Houston's Morning News. So
former First Lady Michelle Obama evidently thinks that the best
thing that she can do to try to convince men
to vote for Kamala Harris is to shame them into
doing so by saying that if you're not voting for
Kamala Harris, you're not supporting your woman, and you need

(13:56):
to support your woman by voting for Kamala Harris. I
don't think that's going to work. I don't think that's
playing very well. And Tyrus on the Gutfield panel last
night had a great reaction to it, and because he
was looking at it the way a man would look
at it. Men and women. I know this will shock you,
but men and women are different. Are despite what we're

(14:20):
being told, we are different.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
And I agree.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
And one of the things that is different about men
versus women is men are sometimes to our detriment, we
are problem solvers. In other words, you tell us, you
tell us about a problem you're having. You're telling us
because you just want somebody to listen.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Some women are problem solving.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, and get it off your chest. Men take that
and they can't just listen to it without wanting to
try to do something about it. So his answer to
Michelle Obama is quite quite striking. At least he resonated
with me. We'll share it with you next. First, he's
a big man, he's a big dude. Right now, this
do a little traffic and weather together. Here's sky Mike.
Let's go to the golf freeway from Keema.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Not only our first banana sticker this morning, but she's female,
so that takes us out of the Schulenburg festival this morning.

Speaker 19 (15:14):
In my family.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
I've just got a right lane block, so watch out
coming up from Bay Area Boulevard northbound. And the other
thing Meek says is it's kind of dark right there,
so he may be tough to see around the horn.
Your north freeway looks good. Sawdust down twenty two minutes.
Iten both sides hard hats You're rocking at twenty one
minutes from Highlands Advisors. You're all good, Sinco Ranch twenty nine,

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Twenty three time. Here in Houston's Wonder Years, right, former
First Lady Michelle Obama thinks the way to get men
to vote for Kamala Harris is to shame them into
doing it. You've got to support your woman. So here
she is making her plea. I guess she thinks guys
stink or suck or something. She doesn't sound very pro
man in this, with some reaction at the other end

(17:23):
from Tyrus.

Speaker 24 (17:25):
Let me warn you, your rage does not exist in
a vacuum. If we don't get this election right, your wife,
your daughter, your mother, we as women, will become collateral
damage to your rage.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
So, the women listening, we have.

Speaker 24 (17:44):
Every right to demand that the men in our lives
do better by us. We have to use our voices
to make these choices clear to the men that we love,
our lives are worth more than their and disappointment.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
M what's that bitter powder said?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I'm gearing in the background some footsteps of rock running
to vote for Trump.

Speaker 25 (18:10):
So, every man who's been in a house where inflation's high,
the electric bills doubled, you're not getting cheers from the
wife and kids. They're complaining, they're suffering. You're hearing it
every day men for the most part. And I'm grouping
her a little bit, and I don't like the group.
But we tend to internalize things. We want to solve

(18:31):
something right. Women tend to express their feelings and talk
about how terrible it is. And the one thing the
man does is when his wife or woman is complaining.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Is he tries to fix it.

Speaker 25 (18:41):
The last three and a half years, the complaints are there,
the upset is there. I can't send my kids to school,
my electric bills fit this, this, this, and men can't
solve it. So the anger is coming from the family.
I can't solve the problems of my family. My wife's
unhappy in her job because she's working an extra twenty
hours a week, less time. With the fact I'm taking

(19:02):
a second job. We have no voice at our schools.
So this anger Miss Obama is not one sided. It's
just the manner the ones trying a solution, and their
solution is to vote for President Trump. And here's the thing,
their women are backing them up. So take that little message,
curl it up a little box and give it to
mister Garrison.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Stake it where the sun don't shine. It's basically what
you're saying. I think that's pretty good analysis. I think
that's I think that's true for a lot of families
right now. Yes, he was.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Very calm, analysis, really breaking involved.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Nope, not at all. You know, if they if mama
ain't happy, ain't nobody happy at your house? You know,
and that that that's an old saying. But it's graver.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
It's a matter of being unhappy unfairly. I mean no,
I mean it's being unhappy because of the reality of
it all.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Going to the grocery stores, become like I.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
Said, having to work harder and more hours, and not
being home with the kids and the family, and you know,
your life is just totally backwards.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
A lot people feel like they're treading water right now.
Treading Water's not fun. You can do it for a while,
you can keep your somebody else.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
It's the current. More like it. It's not dread, and
it's swimming against the current.

sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and they are carrying out murders
for hire. The immigration court backlogs so bad meantime has
become a de facto amnesty and there's no quick fix.

Speaker 21 (24:00):
Whether that involves getting more judges, bringing more court you know,
either way, none of it really matters unless you stop
off the flow, because the problem will only continue to
get work.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Bredon Walton's with the Texas scorecard, he told KGr ag
is exactly why Donald Trump implemented policies like remain in
Mexico to close the border. It is now five point
thirty three. Another attack on Trump supporters from President Joe
Biden yesterday, calling them garbage. Even Democrats called out that President.

Speaker 27 (24:32):
I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or
any Americans, even if they chose to support a candidate
that I didn't support.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Well, at least one Democrat anyway, Mania Governor there, Josh Shapiro.
He was on CNN. Kamala Harris ignored Biden's rant during
her speech in Washington, DC last night, and so she
just spewed more of her own.

Speaker 9 (24:58):
Unlike Donald trum, I don't believe people who disagree with
me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
I'll scripted on the prompter, don't you know, ignoring the
repeated weaponization by the way of the Biden Harris Justice
Department that's been leveled against Donald Trump for years. It
is now five point thirty four. The polls reopened across
Texas seven am this morning for early voting. More than
six million now have voted early statewide. So far, fifty

(25:30):
one million people voting early nationwide. Is some think we're
going to know the winner before election day.

Speaker 28 (25:38):
And Shara darren Shaw is a UT professor and also
a part of the Fox News Decision Team.

Speaker 29 (25:45):
I would really advise people to stake analyzes of the
early voting numbers with the grain of salt.

Speaker 28 (25:50):
And he adds there is another issue with the early
voting numbers.

Speaker 29 (25:54):
If there are a lot more early votes and they're
trending one way or the other, well, that might mean
that people traditionally vote in person are simply switching the
way to vote. At that point, it becomes really difficult
to assess one thing.

Speaker 28 (26:05):
He says, to keep our eyes on how things go
in Virginia Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven forty kt H.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
Well, either we know or we don't. We'll find out.
US Supreme Court has rejected separate appeals by a Trump supporter,
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, to remove the Kennedy name from
ballast and the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan, whether
it wants it or not. Though the High Court may
be dragged into.

Speaker 30 (26:32):
This election with several election cases already pending across multiple states,
there is a real possibility one or more of them
could end up at the US Supreme Court. South Texas
College of Blaw professor Josh Blackman says, if it's close,
then the High Court should step in.

Speaker 31 (26:46):
If his spomeboard doesn't take it, that might mean that
some stageboard as an issue I could decide to say
in each that country and as an issue set a
law and played that really depended how that competitions be interpreted.
I think it's scrome courts under final say orle something
close to it.

Speaker 30 (27:00):
The key cases right now involved provisional ballots in Pennsylvania
and whether Virginia can purge non citizens from its voter roles.
Corey Yelson New's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Well, however long it takes to get the results, we're
going to have our live coverage Election Night beginning at
seven pm on KTRH online and on the iHeart Radio app.
It is now five thirty six. Former Trump advisor Steve
Bannon is out of prison after serving a four month
sentence in prison for defying a subpoena from the J

(27:31):
six Committee. He had a message for those who imprisoned him.

Speaker 32 (27:38):
And Nancy Pelosi thought a federal prison was going to
break me. Well it empowered me?

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Was it empowered me?

Speaker 5 (27:47):
Bannon, though, is still being brought to trial in New
York in December as the Biden Harris doj accuses him
of duping people to donate money for the border wall,
our lack of reign in Texas and dangering the citrus
industry in our Rio Grande Valley in Mexico is way
behind in an old agreement to supply water to the valley.

(28:08):
Mexico offering some help, but it's resulted in tons of paperwork.
Pretty frustrating to the farmers got winter vegetables.

Speaker 33 (28:18):
Their acreage are being trimmed back anywhere from thirty to
fifty percent this year just because of the lack of water,
and then carrying even farther into the spring of next
year as well.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Yes, Rio grand Water Nidalgo County farmer Brian Jones has
manding the valley field. There are only two options hope
Donald Trump becomes president and of course, pray for rain.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxon He's now calling for State Rep.
Jeff Leech to resign. He says he confessed to unlawfully
attempting to influence an appeals court judge in the capital

(28:51):
murder case of death row inmate Robert Roberson. Paxson's office
is also making a criminal referral. It is now five
thirty seven. Texas lose their wide receivers Stefan Diggs for
the season with the torn write ACL They're going to
play the Jets on the road tomorrow night. I'm sher
Fryer on news radio seven forty ktrhe HG two.

Speaker 34 (29:14):
It's US Radio seven forty KTRH on FM Houston's News, Weather,
Traffic and Talk at ninety nine one HT two, five
thirty eight.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Is that time here in Houston's War News. Well, I
would say that the top education official in the state
of Oklahoma basically sent a you owe me letter to
Kamala Harris. I think he sent it to Kamala Harris
because he knows what Kamala Harris's immigration policy is, which
is the very same as Joe Biden's. So why did

(29:45):
he send a letter? Well, he actually sent a demand
letter to the Vice President, which essentially served us an
invoice for what illegal immigration has cost Oklahoma public school system.
Here I'll share with you what he wrote. Is I
love it as the statewide elected superintendent of Public Instruction
of the State of Oklahoma and the executive officer of

(30:05):
the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Is my duty to
ensure that resources allegated to our public schools are accounted
for and used in the most effective manner possible for
the benefit of Oklahoma students. He went on to say,
this demand of four hundred and seventy four point nine
million dollars is by necessity an estimate, because only your

(30:26):
administration knows the true number of illegal immigrants crossing this
nation's borders and the actual cost of illegal immigration. He
went on to call for Harris to conduct a potentially
more accurate accounting of the cost incurred by Oklahoma public
schools to educate illegal aliens. Now that's their estimate for
the state of Oklahoma, four hundred and seventy four million dollars.
Can you imagine what it be for the state of Texas

(30:47):
If this four hundred and seventy four million for Oklahoma
and all the other states I mean, how many? I mean,
every state in this country is educating illegal aliens in
our public school system by law and paying out of
their own pockets to do it. By taxpayers. The local
taxpayers are paying.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
For it, property tax payers, exactly right. That's why your
property tax rates keep going.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
It and that's why all the schools are leading poverty
is because they're having to spend so much money educating
people who are not here legally. Five forty. Time for
traffic and weather together, as we check out the drive
once again. Here is skyline. Oh, we got some scoochery
on the north side close to the squeeze. Here, Jimmy
and Share.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
This is North Freeway southbound, the ramp that takes you
two six ' ten you're going let's say you're trying
to get over to Garden Oaks and you're coming from
the north side. All I see is the eighteen wheeler.
If you're playing along at home, it's camera two, one
four and we're looking at a backup.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Now.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
This is what it's really doing is messing up your
North Freeway. It's kind of a back order slip from
Tidwell southbound, so it adds a benster three or four
minutes this way. It looks like they're partially blocking.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
That ramp, but HFD is on the scene already.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
There's also a flatbed truck he's not in the room,
but he can't go anywhere.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
He's just stuck.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
So here we are southbound and we'll know more about
this at the five fifty break. We'll check ship Channel bridges.
Then too, Southwest Freeway. We've cleared the roadwork at the
west Loop six ten that's out of the way. And oh, quickly,
south side Larry.

Speaker 29 (32:16):
Hey, GUYM takes ten south Loote northbound just before fifty nine.

Speaker 11 (32:21):
Interchange and the west Tom Ricks is the discabled vehicle too.

Speaker 35 (32:24):
Police comes behind it.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Loves the flash a lot boom.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
That's a banana stick or south side Larry. Oh, oh, oh, Terry,
guess what Sunday is. I'm in a classic GMC traffic center.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Let it fly. Oh yeah, from our KTRH Generator super Center,
twenty four hour whether center. Terry is here. Yep. Daylight
saving time, we go back to standard time on Sunday. Yeah,
you have to get up and sit your alarm. You
have to do it officially two o'clock in the morning.
You can't do it before you go to bed. You
can't do it when you get up. You do it
at two o'clock in the morning. That's what I want to.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
Do it before I go to bed.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
I love daylight saving time. Well, just so you know,
you'll be breaking the law. Man, Well that would be new.

Speaker 23 (33:03):
I guess I'll just have to break the law then,
orhaps Sky might come over and set my clocks for me.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
How much rain are we going to get here for
the next few days. We're going to get enough rain
to do any good.

Speaker 23 (33:13):
Yes, we are going to get enough rain to do
us some good. I'll look at the totals right now.
What I'm trying to do is get a good feel
for the timing and all of this. Right now that
the coldfront is to the north, it's up in North Texas.
I mean, it's practically in Oklahoma for all purposes, So
it's still far away. But we are seeing enough of

(33:33):
an increase in the moisture and enough in stability that
we're going to get showers and thunderstorms to develop today,
mainly in the afternoon. And I'm putting it at a
seventy percent chance that our listeners might see some of
this rain today. Temperatures today will be anywhere from the
low to upper eighties. There's a forty percent chance more
rain tonight, sixty percent chance of those showers and storms

(33:56):
tomorrow and Friday. Fifty percent chance of more rain Saturday
and Sunday. So just by virtue of the fact that
we have five straight days with summarine in the forecast,
this is like a miracle.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Okay, right now seventy four at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty k TRH. What you need to
know for the day ahead.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
This is Houston's morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
So they finally let Steve Bannon out. And I was
struck by two things in just seeing him for the
first time after getting out of federal prison. Number one,
is there no barber in federal prison? Is there like
nobody there to cut anybody's hair? His hair was really long.
And there's something wrong with his body. He's got a
tooth that's off or missing or something in there that

(34:43):
I hadn't ever noticed before. Is there like no dentist
if the federal prison.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
Or did he get punched or whatever?

Speaker 3 (34:51):
You gotta wonder. Anyway, he's sharp as ever, and he
made some comments about.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
He's a veteran. He served in the Navy. Sure I
think about readers. Other maybe I can't remember what it was.
You know, the guy took it in stride. He should
have been out earlier, and they had trouble getting the
paperwork done. Uh huh, So they kept him. I kept
him incarcerated even though he was due for early release.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Aren't you a little surprised though, if that, if they
were going to just keep him a little extra long,
that they didn't just wait until after the election to
let him out.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
No, I mean, his term was up on October twenty,
I know, but if you're going to supposed to release him,
like October twenty, if.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
You're going to release, wouldn't you delay it until after
the election?

Speaker 5 (35:32):
You know, if you're the sentence was four months, and
I'm just saying the judge ordered it, and they put
it in a hardcore state prison, a federal prison, A
hardcore federal prison.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Oh yeah, well he's hardcore. Obviously.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
He apparently was counseling and walking and during the breaks
talking to the other incarcerated people and hearing their stories,
largely blacks and Hispanics.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Disenfranchised blacks and Hispanics. Yep, we'll have more on that
coming up. But he also had some thoughts on the
campaign and the parallels that he sees between this election,
twenty twenty four election and twenty sixteen. So we'll share
that with you coming up next. First though, traffic and
weather together as we check out the drive again with Skymike.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
All right, I'm looking at this what we have on
the wreck on the North Freeway southbound at the loop.
Here hfd's blocking part of that ramp. There's a flatbed
eighteen wheeler just stuck there. He can't go anywhere. I
don't even think he's in the wreck. But it's right
on the ramp that takes you over toward the heights
and Garden Oaks.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
So let's see what is a re route for you here?
Harty Tail Road.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
If you're a big shot to the east, text might
be your best way around west Loop northbound south side.
Larry called it the south Loop. Remember he's from down unders,
so it's all the south Loop.

Speaker 35 (36:41):
To Larry and south Flute northbound.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
No, it's the west Flute.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
But any good job anyway, west Loop northbound the exit
to west Timer got a stall in a right lane.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Look out, I'm Skymike in a classic view at GMC
Traffic Center from r KTRH Generators super Center twenty four
our weather center for today. There's some ring chances this morning,
but the best chance of seeing rain and maybe a
thundershower or two is going to be this afternoon. High
temperature today is going to be about eighty five. Current
temperature seventy four at your official severe weather station, news

(37:10):
Radio seven forty k TRH. We're checking out some of
our top trending stories on this Wednesday morning.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
Here's sheron It's now five fifty two on news Radio
seven forty KTRH. President Joe Biden has a deplorables moment.
He calls Trumps supporters garbage. New polling from the Economists
and YouGov say is that one in five Americans twenty
percent are concerned about the election being fair. Orson Wells War,

(37:38):
the world's radio broadcast, sent Americans into a meltdown on
this date in nineteen thirty eight. If the latest news
anytime at KTRH dot com, Our next update will be
at the top of the.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Hour fifty nine.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Inbound at the loop is always a problem.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
KTRH time saving traffic connect on the ten.

Speaker 16 (38:00):
Right.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Speaking of twenty sixteen, that was a hit? Is Donald
Trump going to be a hit just like he was?
In twenty sixteen and diviy the odds looking more and
more like that's a real possibility. Steve Bannon had some
analysis of the Harris campaign and the parallels he sees
between the twenty twenty four and twenty sixteen campaigns.

Speaker 32 (38:21):
I think the Harris campaign, and I believe this comes
from the anti Democratic forces inside the Democratic Party in
shifting out. When President Biden was taken off in ten
days off the ballot, it seemed to me at the
time that they should have some sort of mini primary
so that people like Governor Pritzker and Whitmer and Newsom

(38:41):
and Shapiro whoever else wanted to jump in here and
actually make the case in some sort of period time
up until the convention could actually go and make a
case of what they stand for. She started with this
incoherent politics of joy, and she understands that you can't.
You know, she wasn't getting trackhed on this. That's why
she pivoted. She needed to take one or two at

(39:04):
most topics like President Trump's make America great again, our
President Trump secure the border, our President Trump's bring jobs
back from China. Take one or two things that resonate
with this country. And working class people and drive it
every day.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
You haven't seen that.

Speaker 32 (39:19):
That's right now, she's talking about people being fascist and
people being this.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
I think right.

Speaker 32 (39:23):
Now, President Trump, just like in sixteen, right, we have
a chance to win the states we want in sixteen,
North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. If the grassroots
deliver us, and I think maybe even throwing Nevada, which
you didn't run in sixteen. I think President Trump could
get up to over three hundred electroal votes if people

(39:44):
are focused today, and I think the Harris campaign is
it's not focused, and it's particularly not focused on issues
that are obbelieves obviously at the highest levels of the
American people. So I think if the job of the
grassroots is done, and this is why I'm not sure
it's important for me to go to a rally with
President Trump or go around with other.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
People, but to do the work that you need to
have done.

Speaker 32 (40:06):
To make sure those votes get out there so that
there's no question even if some things happen on Battlet
County over that we have gotten big enough margins that
the votes that remaining were bigger. We have bigger margins
than the votes outstanding remaining.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
In other words, too big to cheat, such an overwhelming
landslide that you can't cheat enough in order to make
up for it. That's what he's talking about there.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
By the way, did you see I mean Kamala Harris
is going to be campaigning in New York?

Speaker 16 (40:37):
Now?

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Why would she have to campaign in New York?

Speaker 3 (40:39):
No kidding of all places? No giving?

Speaker 5 (40:41):
That tells me something right there.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
It certainly does, the fact.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
That she's going to these stays. It should be reliably
Democrat and be able to be free to go to
swing stays. Instead, she's going to places where she I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
In the meantime, she's been invited to be on Joe Rogan,
which would probably be one of the bustin things she
could do first off right now, But she's put down
all these stipulations and rules.

Speaker 5 (41:03):
She wants him to come to her and she only
wants to do an hour, and she he wanted a
great tortum three hours, and that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
In the meantime, did you see who he has booked?
Who is coming jd.

Speaker 5 (41:12):
Van I saw that clear yesterday. I only saw one
and I thought, well, I'd better wait until it's confirmed.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
There you go, yeah, talk about it. So there's a
double whammy for the Trump campaign, both both Trump and jd.
Vance On Joe Rogan, It's five point fifty seven. This
is used.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
He knows not what he says. Let's go up from
Lake Jackson to eighty eight. There, Steven f while he's
happy this morning, we're rocking along. Now you have the
roadwork in Roch Sharon on the northbound, and Jennifer from
TV's telling me that there's something scootched up at.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
The south but I don't see a backup around here.
Maybe you do.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
We're using the old tip line two eight one two

the loop.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
There's a wreck in the ramp.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
I'll give you more on the suckage at the six
to ten break in the classic Buick GMC Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Did Dad forget to pay the phone bill? What's going
on there?

Speaker 35 (42:44):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's what it is for r KTRH top
tax defenders. Twenty four hour Weather Center morning shower chants
better chance of rain and thunderstorms. In the fact, they're
likely for the afternoon with igh temperature today about eighty
five rain in the forecast all the way through the weekend.
We'll check that out with Terry Smith at the Weather

Speaker 5 (43:11):
Everyone is six point two on news Radio seven forty.
KTRH is new sponsored by All Star Construction. Our top
story this hour. The Democrats claim they want to put
an end to the political hate and fear bongering talk.
But that's just another leftist lie.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
Only garbage I see flowed down. There's his supporters. His
demonizational scene is unconstable, and it's on America.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
President Joe Biden at a virtual Kamala Harri's campaign event
last night, actually talking trash about Trump supporters at isrally
in Allentown, Pennsylvania last night. Donald Trump responded to that
as only he can please.

Speaker 7 (43:54):
Forgive him for he not knows what he said. Terrible
to say a thing like that, but he really doesn't know.
He really, honestly, he doesn't.

Speaker 5 (44:06):
Trump told the thousands there at his rally that what
Biden said was worse than Hillary Clinton's deplorables comment from
twenty sixteen. Kamala Harris, Well, she tried to deflect during
her speech at the Ellipse in DC.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
We have the power.

Speaker 5 (44:23):
Each of you has the power to.

Speaker 9 (44:27):
Turn the page and start writing the next chapter.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
Yeah, forgetting that. Medi wanted to be using her word.
Unburdened by all that the Biden Harris regime has been.
Despite the media law, fair attacks, and the two assassination attempts,
Donald Trump's still charging in these final days of the campaign.

Speaker 11 (44:49):
Nationally, Trump's at sixty two percent chance of winning, so
he definitely favored.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
That's still kind of clothes.

Speaker 11 (44:55):
It depends whether people actually show up and vote.

Speaker 5 (44:58):
Maximum Lott with the election betting Odds dot Com. He
told kg H these attacks against Trump are actually giving
him the underdog effect. You know how we feel about underdogs.
It's now six ' oh four. Texas continue to turn
out in big numbers for early voting, especially up in
North Texas.

Speaker 12 (45:17):
The Trump campaign has made a real point of emphasizing
the value of early voting and getting those votes banked,
and that's been something the Democrats have been talking about
for twenty years now.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Smu is Matthew Wilson on Dallas TV. Early voting in
Texas runs through this Friday. Fox's latest power rankings are
giving Trump another boost, with Arizona now moved to the
Leans Republican side. Political scientist cal Jilson says the rest
of the swing states will still too close to call.

Speaker 13 (45:48):
The other six swing states all remain within one percentage
point one way or the other for Trump or Harris,
so it's still very very tight both nationally. In in
six of the seven swing states.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
According to Fox, Trump does lead Kamala in the electoral
college right now two thirty to two twenty six, Election
day six days and we have election night coverage for
you starting at seven pm on Tuesday on KRHKGRH dot
com and the iHeartRadio app. It is now six h five.
According to a new report, Donald Trump's plan to shut

(46:26):
down the federal Education Department is gaining support within the
GOP and.

Speaker 28 (46:34):
Shara he already has it with Sherry Sylvester, Distinguished Senior
Fellow with the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Speaker 36 (46:41):
Their main job, which is to better educate kids, they
have failed and it should be abolished.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Trump is absolutely right.

Speaker 28 (46:48):
If Trump does shut it down, it would save a
ton of money and turn control to the local level.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
In Texas.

Speaker 14 (46:55):
Increasingly, we are working to push laws to make sure
the pearents have the most control over what goes on
in their public schools.

Speaker 28 (47:02):
Closing the Education Department would need approval from Congress. Jeff
Biggs News read the seven forty k t r H.

Speaker 5 (47:10):
It's still six o six. You know, there's damning data
showing the negative effects of puberty blockers on children, but
it's apparently being deliberately withheld by doctors so they can
provide more child trans care. Now, Houston doctor Mary Bowden
says those doctors are blame for not educating parents, but

(47:31):
it actually goes deeper than that.

Speaker 16 (47:34):
The problem is the medical school state to docuate the students,
so the students are coming out of their medical education
thinking as as normal. When I was in training, this
would have been complete quackery to talk about it like this.

Speaker 5 (47:47):
Social media is seeding me, she says. If Kamala Harris
wins is going to get even harder to fix and
to denormalize, which is what's happening now among the medical
professions and certainly on the left. It is now six
oh seven more proof of the sinking middle class. Job
openings are at their lowest level since January of twenty

(48:08):
twenty one, falling more than expected in September, down from
seven point eight six million in August to seven point
four four million. Job openings now IRS adjusted every tax
bracket for next year to account for inflation. But Texas
Senator Take Cruz, if he wins reelection might save us
all even more money. He's introduced the Capital Gains Inflation

(48:32):
Relief Act, which has Donald Trump's.

Speaker 18 (48:34):
Backing Senator Cruise's legislation would say the inflation part of
any game you do not pay capital gains tax on
probably be about a forty percent cut in your capitol
games taxes because of what's happened with inflation over the
last several decades.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
The tools you need to take on the day news
in the morning, weather and traffick. This is Houston's Morning
News with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Six eight hour time. You're in Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
A right.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
Job openings have plunged to the lowest level since twenty
twenty one. Is the labor market losing steam? While you know,
we were talking the other day about how many restaurants
are closing down. One hundred and fifty Dennis restaurants around
the country are shutting down. That's a lot of blue
collar jobs they get lost. When you've got a big
restaurant train like that that's shedding jobs. Whould I say

(49:34):
the other O TGI Fridays, those things have been shutting
down rapidly.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Yeah, but you know that's not just the only jobs
it's drilling in Texas, its major refineries, is the whole
oil industry is a whole economic outlook. They're not hiring
because they don't know if they're going to even have
an industry if Kamala Harris gets elected.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Labor Department reporting the number of job openings, big drop
from seven point four million in September from seven point
nine million in August. So that's a lot of openings
that have been shed.

Speaker 5 (50:07):
Talk to philadel I mean, talk to Pennsylvania about their fracking,
and talk to them about manufacturing in Ohio and Detroit.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
And this will tell you a lot about the mindset share.
The number of Americans who quit their jobs has fallen
to a lower level the field since August of twenty twenty,
because well, you don't quit the job at have if
you're worried about being able to find another one. Of course,
we have jobs numbers. They're going to come out some
new jobs numbers, as we've seen if they have a
tendency to be inflated. I'm guessing right before the election,

(50:36):
they're not going to report a bad number. The number
will probably be reported higher than what it actually is.

Speaker 5 (50:41):
But look, if people don't have jobs in producing things,
then they don't have the money in order to go
out and provide jobs in the service industry exactly.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
And that's what our economy has become more than anything
else as the service industry. Six to ten traffic and
weather together, we're checking out that driving in some service
here from sky mike.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
It's north side here, I forty five north three way
right at your service.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
This is a wreck here. It's getting a little clear now.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
I'm looking at the ramp that goes to the North
Loop over toward the Heights and Garden Oaks. That's so
the westbound ramp, and there's an accident on it. It
looks like everybody's okay. That eighteen wheeler was able to
get out to But that's scooching up your north Freeway.
It's forty five southbound between Temple and Parker. Actually goes
all the way back to the Shepherd Curve. Now a
twenty minute drag. Come on, big shots, due the hardy commoners.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Now my head hurts.

Speaker 35 (51:57):
It's been clear failing all morning long.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
So far all right, Danny f Roch shier and basically
two eighty eighths clear. We thought there was something at

I can't wait to see. Remind me, what does rain
look like?

Speaker 5 (52:23):
Uh? It looks I don't know. It's been a while,
hasn't it.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
It's hard to describe, isn't it.

Speaker 21 (52:30):
Well?

Speaker 23 (52:30):
When I look at it on the radar, it looks green,
and I am seeing a couple of little patches of green,
one of them over there by Liberty, the other one
just north of cove and a couple of showers approaching
the coast. So yeah, this will This is promising and
the best part about the forecast in my opinion, my

(52:51):
meteorological opinion, is that this is a possibility for us
through the weekend some rain every day through Sunday. Today,
I think it's a seventy percent chance that we'll see
those showers and storms. Now, for the most part, the
rain today will be on the light side. Temperatures in
the eighties. Tomorrow and Friday partly cloudy, sixty percent chance

(53:15):
of showers and thunderstorms, and load to mid eighties. Saturday
and Sunday we have a fifty percent chance of showers
and storms. So even if you do have trigger treating
plans or outdoor plans over the weekend, it's not going
to be a complete washout.

There are a lot of people that you may have
a love hate relationship with the media has just a
hate relationship with Donald Trump. You probably have the love
relationship with him, but they have the hate relationship. But
you know, the more they hate him, the more you
seem to love him more than that story coming up
next first though, at six twenty we got love him

(54:07):
because they hate him. That could be it. That's certainly
part of its own, is that underdog thing.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Your Decision twenty twenty four headquarters is.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
KTRH six twenty two or time here in Houston's morning
News that love hate relationship. Trump becoming more popular in
the face of the media onslaught against him, and I
have to wonder too, And I can't wait to ask
our next guest, Maxim Lott, he's the founder of election
betting Odds dot Com. About this. President Biden yesterday called
Trump supporters garbage? Now do you think that really upset anybody?

(56:25):
I think when he said that, I said, oh, okay,
well I can't I can't wait. I guess if I
if I'm garbage, I could be the garbage man. I
could take out the trash on election today and send
it to the landfill. Maxim, Hey, great to be here
with you.

Speaker 11 (56:42):
So I have this election betting Odds dot com site
and it shows Trump leading. It shows these statements like
Biden calling people garbage. Those aren't moving the radar at
this point, kind of like you are suggesting, it's, you know,
the big picture things like inflation, crop migration does have
just sunk in and they have Trump.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
In the lead.

Speaker 5 (57:04):
Yeah, I would think that, you know, the rhetoric that
we're getting from the Democrats and from the left is
what a hateful person Donald Trump is and how he's
going to arrest everybody and imprison everybody and do The
problem is he's got a four year record of not
doing any of those things, and it's I wonder how
that reflects in the betting.

Speaker 11 (57:25):
Yeah, that's a good question, I think. You know, it's
hard to tell from the betting exactly why people are
doing what they're doing. What we can see is that
Trump has shifted over the last month from having a
forty five percent chance of winning so slightly favored to lose,
to a sixty two percent So over the last month.

(57:47):
Something has changed. It might be the ads that Trump
is running in battleground states which talk about Harris's previous
radical record, you know, whether it's supporting government funded sex
change operation or a record on the border. Maybe those
are sinking in. But for whatever reason, both the polls
and the betting odds have been moving in Trump's favor

(58:08):
over the last month.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Let me let me ask you about the betting odds.
For for example, Arizona just went from you know, from
a toss up toss up to leaning Republican. Do you
believe that the betting, the election betting odds move at
a quicker pace than the polls do. In other words,
the polls are lagging behind what we're already seeing as

(58:29):
far as the election betting. Yeah, the polls do.

Speaker 11 (58:33):
The betting does move at a quicker pace. I just
grasped this out the other day. If you compare it
to the election models that are based on polls, the
graph has looked the same over the last month, but
the betting odds.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
Have moved ten days faster than the polls.

Speaker 11 (58:47):
So basically, they're able to actually look at things before
the polls, whether it's yeah, bad statements or just the
general sentiment out, or whether Trump is going on the
Rogan Show, all these things and predict the movement to
the polls. At least for the last month, that has
been the case. And you know, it's it's smart people
betting on this stuff. It's like a stock market for politicians.

(59:11):
That's the best way to think about it. And in
general it's pretty accurate. People when they put their money
on the line, they think harder about who's actually going
to win, how soon does.

Speaker 5 (59:20):
It pay out? I mean, because we don't know that
the results will pay out on election night, And is
it go to the first person who's called, you get
your money immediately. And what happens if it goes to
court and all of a sudden the election is reversed.
What if you don't know until who gets inaugurated? How
does that work?

Speaker 3 (59:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (59:37):
Each betting market, you know, will make their own discretion
in this, but some of them, for example, say whoever
is there at inauguration.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
Day will pay that out.

Speaker 11 (59:50):
Or the or you know, if every news station calls
a winner. So those are some of the ways they
might resolve it.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Okay, And just out of curiosity, Maxim, can you do
are your odds overall odds coast to coast odds or
can you do it state by state by state? And
if so, what are the odds in the battleground states
that we know we're going to be deciding in this election.

Speaker 11 (01:00:14):
Yeah, so it's sixty two percent chance for Trump to
win overall in each state he is winning right now,
Michigan is the thinnest. It's fifty three percent. Basically a
coin toss about whether Trump wins. In the southern states
like Georgia, North Carolina, they have trumpet about seventy percent
Arizona again seventy percent. They're looking at the early vote

(01:00:36):
returns and where those are coming from.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
In those states.

Speaker 11 (01:00:39):
Also Nevada it's about two thirds for Trump. Again, that's
early vote northern states. Yeah, Pennsylvania is like sixty percent,
Wisconsin's like fifty five percent. So those are the closer states.
In theory of Harris wins those three northern states, the Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
and Michigan, then she would win. So she just needs

(01:00:59):
those three. Those are the closest ones. That's kind of
hear hears path to narrow in.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Interesting in college interesting stuff. Maxim, thanks for joining us.

It's now six thirty two on news Radio seven forty
k TRH. Our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (01:03:21):
In less than four years, Kamala Harris has obliterated our borders,
obliterated Who've never had a situation like this?

Speaker 5 (01:03:31):
Donald Trump on the Biden Harris border invasion of our country,
announcing a plan to seize assets of Mexican drug cartels
and then using that money as restitution to the victims
of the crimes committed against them by illegal aliens and
all Americans. Officials in Mexico say the vicious Venezuelan gang

(01:03:54):
trend de at Agua is extorting illegal alien caravans, the
ones headed to the US involved with sex trafficking, drug trafficking,
and they are carrying out murders for hire. Looks like Democrats, though,
have finally achieved the amnesty they've wanted all the time,
thanks to the massive backlog they've given in immigration and

(01:04:15):
asylum cases.

Speaker 10 (01:04:17):
This means it could be years before an illegal alien
is able to be deported.

Speaker 21 (01:04:21):
People are being given court dates essentially, but the immigration
judges are being forced to dismiss these cases because the
backlog is so big.

Speaker 10 (01:04:29):
Brandon Walton's with the Texas Scorecard says Trump's Remain in
Mexico policy would have prevented this for.

Speaker 21 (01:04:34):
The exact reason. The policy was put in place so
that you don't have the situation where these immigration courts
are clogged up and illegal aliens that are here allowed
to run out the clock.

Speaker 10 (01:04:44):
Walton says, unless the flow of illegal aliens has stopped,
will never be able to clear out this backlog of cases.
Ethan Beugannon News Radio seven forty KTRH. Yeah, Texas certainly
trying to stop it. The General Land Office is now
announced a land by along sections of the Rio Grand
for the purpose of building the Texas border wall. It
is now six thirty four. White House trying to walk

(01:05:05):
back Joe Biden calling Trump supporters garbage last night, claiming, oh,
he was talking about that self described comedian kill Tony.

Speaker 37 (01:05:15):
The first statement from Joe Biden is the one that
he truly believes. He does not think that people who
disagree with him are his party. Who support President Trump
are are Americans.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donald's he was on CNN and
Trump denied knowing who this guy is. His last name
is actually Hinchcliff. It was during an interview with k
t Y Shashan Hannity last night. Now, instead of distancing
herself from the Joe Biden comment, Kamala Harris unleash more
venom during her speech before a loving crowd in DC

(01:05:51):
last night.

Speaker 9 (01:05:53):
On day one, if elected, Donald Trump would walk into
that office.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
With an enemy's list.

Speaker 5 (01:06:00):
Elected, I will walk in with it to do list,
but she never said what's on her to do list?
Six point thirty five polls reopened seven am this morning.
Early voting across Texas more than six million. That's the
only number we've got right now. More than six million,
it increased yesterday, have already cast their ballots. A former

(01:06:22):
MSNBC analyst says that the early voting numbers hold up,
we will know. According to him, who's going to win
before election day is. Darren Shaw, a UT professor and
part of the Fox News Decision team, though, who disagrees,
says we may know some things.

Speaker 29 (01:06:41):
If early voting is about the same total number of
early votes in twenty twenty fours, there weren't twenty twenty
and Ana, let's say this, it looks a little more
Republican or a little more Democrat. That's probably good news
for the part of its favorite.

Speaker 13 (01:06:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
But on the flip side, he also warns numbers could
just mean more people decided to vote early instead of
waiting until election day. Depends who they are and how
they vote. US Supreme Court is denied two appeals by
Robert F. Kennedy Junior to have his name remove from
ballots in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan, so
that vote may be split there if the election is

(01:07:15):
as close as some are predicting, though the High Court
could end up being the ultimate decider. Cases concerning provisional
ballots non citizen voting are still pending. South Texas College
of Law professor Josh Blackman says, Yeah, well, it depends
on the outcome of the actual election day.

Speaker 31 (01:07:35):
Whatever happens in the Court is sort of the joint
Sesship Congress in January sixth, and depending who has a majority.
If they both house are Democratic controlled, they might decide
to do their own ser stop this field to apertial
premier election. So nothing is beyond the rel of possibility
at this point.

Speaker 13 (01:07:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
State of Virginia, in my meantime, awaiting a decision from
the High Court on purging whether they'll be forced to
purge the illegal aliens and the non citizens from its

this will be the last thing I'm going to play.
Happy to do with the comedian at the Trump rally
Benson Square Garden. But President Trump was asked by Sean
Hennity about this guy Tony Kinchcliff, and I thought you'd
want to hear what he had to say. So you
have this big event at Madison Square Garden. Went on
for hours. I don't even know if you were there

(01:09:28):
for the whole thing. I don't know what time he
got there.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
I was told and made aware that you had no
idea about this comedian who made comments I still have.

Speaker 26 (01:09:38):
I have no idea who is Somebody said there was
a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico or something, and
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
Who has never saw him, never heard of him, and
don't want to hear of him.

Speaker 26 (01:09:49):
But I have no idea. They put a comedian in,
which everybody does. You throw comedians in, you don't vet
them and go crazy. It's nobody's fault. But somebody said
some things. Now what they've done is taken somebody that
has nothing to do with the party, has nothing to
do with us, said something, and they try and make
a big deal. But I don't know who it is.
I don't even know who put them in, and I

(01:10:12):
can't imagine it's a big deal. I've done more for
Puerto Rico than any president I think that's ever that's
ever been president.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
You know what's kind of be interesting to me, though,
is everybody made a big deal about the joke he
did about Puerto Rico. He did a much more edgy
joke about Mexicans well before that, and nobody has said
a word about it. Why Why is it everybody's outraged
over Puerto Rico.

Speaker 5 (01:10:39):
Because Kamala Harris came out with his statement. I can't remember.
It was right about the same time, almost like it
was coordinated about Puerto Rico because they want to they
want to give them a couple of senators. They want
to give them they want statehood, statehood, a couple of
senators so they can help pack.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
Hm.

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
They reliable Democrat voters. Is she's taking for granted again,
which is pandering? I think sure, just assuming that people
are going to vote for you because you're a Democrat.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
No kidding, gah.

Speaker 38 (01:11:10):
I think those days are gone. They're not totally gone,
but they're on their way out. That's for delgun sure.

question is how much and when do we get it?

Speaker 23 (01:12:35):
Well, honestly, today, it could be at any point. I
don't know that there's a specific time that we'll see
these showers and thunderstorms move through. We're already seeing some
spotty showers right now to the east of Houston, around
Liberty and Harden and down toward Galveston as well, just
little tiny showers. It's a seventy percent chance of showers

(01:12:57):
and storms today, and our temperatures in the eighties Tomorrow
and Friday partly cloudy. Sixty percent chance of rain both days,
and for the trigger treads, they'll be breaks in the rain,
so it shouldn't entirely wash out your evening plans. And
then a fifty percent chance of war showers and thunderstorms
Saturday and Sunday as well.

all right, we got the timeline coming up in just
a moment. We have so far, about two hundred and
fifty thousand people who have canceled their online Washington Post
subscription because the newspaper failed to endorse Kamala Harris. I

(01:13:50):
guess that tells you all you need to know about
the readership, not just the Washington Post itself. With the readership,
and the question is, did Jeff Besso's by a big
mistake because he's that afraid of Trump? More in that
story coming up next. First, though, traffic and weather together.
As we check out the drive once again. Here's sky
Mine all.

Dude, Good morning sky Michael hit it towards downtown on

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
Kirby Shepherd area, which is unusual for this time.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
I've got a wreck on camera here. It is Southwest
Freeway inbound. I'm looking from the Downtown split, but it's
really Mandel northbound one two three left lines. It looks
to me like just a right lane getting by. Suddenly
the Southwest is no good. Let's take the KD Freeway instead.
We cleared the North Freeway wreck at the Southloop sixty ten.
That's all breaks from Little York. Hey play timeline with

Next on the ten time saving traffic con seven forty ktrh.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
Sound familiar, It's the Washington Post March Now. Did you
know this? It was composed by John Phillips SUSA for
the newspaper by request by the ownership of the newspaper,
which was Frank Patton and Riah Wilkins. They owned paper
back in eighteen eighty nine. That's how far back that

(01:16:18):
song in the Washington Post go. Even further back than
that for the Washington Post, of course, it took Jeff
Bezos to save it by giving an influx of money,
and he made a business decision that they were not
going to endorse a presidential candidate, even though they are
flaming liberal paper and everybody who works there is pretty

(01:16:38):
much a flaming liberal, And everybody who reads the Washington
Post or has a subscription to it is generally the same.
So here we go. Howard Kurtz on Fox asked about
the decision. Jeff Bezos, Mate, was it a mistake?

Speaker 39 (01:16:52):
People don't trust in me here for a good reason.
But the thing is he has set back the Post
ten years with this colla suscle blunder, by which I
mean ten years from now, people will still be talking
about this. And you know, he's the one who came
up with the slogan democracy dies in darkness, and for
him to now do this, if he had done it

(01:17:14):
months ago, would have been very different. No one would
have kid his paper. Endorsements don't really matter these days,
at least on the national level, but for two years
the editorial pages of the Post. We have the same
situation now with the La Times owner killing Harris endorsement
is constantly anti Trump, anti Trump, left fleaning, and then
on the most important thing that they face. Oh, we

(01:17:37):
couldn't possibly tell you what to think. That would create
the perception of bias. Well, come on, we know what
they think. They're just pulling back on this, and I
think clearly it helps Donald Trump. And you have columnists
for people, by the way, who have left the editorial board,
prominent journalists, others writing columns taken on the boss, all

(01:17:57):
kinds of language, spinelessness and so forth. And it's not
just a bunch of self involved journalists.

Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
It is the fact that.

Speaker 39 (01:18:04):
They feel that bezos sort of pulled the rug.

Speaker 40 (01:18:07):
Out from money, also saved the paper and pays their salaries.
And so I mean, in some ways I think, like
where would the Post be without him?

Speaker 39 (01:18:18):
Jeff Bezos and his billions absolutely saved the Washington Post.
And yes he pays the salaries. He has the right
to do this as the owner. It's just you know,
the way that he did when he did it, and
the fear of Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
And I'll say one more thing of Dana. All these
people with.

Speaker 39 (01:18:35):
Tens of thousands canceling subscriptions, it only hurts the news
organization that they say they care about. And some people
are saying, well, why not cancel your Amazon Prime membership
if you want to get back at Bezos. And the
Post has already been decimated by layoffs and buyouts, and
this doesn't help.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
It's a real body bull. Just a disastrous move. Huh.

Speaker 36 (01:18:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
And one of those prominent journalists there married to Victorian
Knew under a Secretary of State who was all involved
architect of all the debacle in Ukraine. So there you go.
So much for unbiased journalism.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
Every major newspaper in the United States is the same
when it comes to bias journalism. Including the Houston Chronicle.
They're all run by liberals. They all support liberal causes,
you know. But Jeff Bezlols Studies, he made a business decision.
And I will say this, I think Howard Kurtz is right.
If you, if you really feel compelled to punish Jeff Beso's,
cancel your Amazon Prime subscription. That would really that would

(01:19:31):
hurt a lot more than canceling.

Speaker 5 (01:19:33):
You're going to cancel your online subscriptions. It just shows
you were just listening or reading for your confirmation of
your own bias.

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
Exactly right.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
You weren't going for news. You were going for confirmation
of your own bias.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
That's it.

Yeah, you reach into the choir, so to speak.

The only garbage I see flowed down there is his supporters.

Speaker 5 (01:22:46):
Joe Biden at a virtual a Kamala Harris campaign event
last night bashing Donald Trump's supporters. Whitehouse claims that Joe
was actually going after the comedian or self styled comic
Tony hinchcliff Kill Tony for his jokes at Sunday's rally
in New York City. But no one's buying it, including
Donald Trump himself.

Speaker 7 (01:23:08):
Remember Hillary, she said deplorable and then she said irredeevable, right.

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
But she said deplorable.

Speaker 5 (01:23:33):
Victor Davis Hanson on with Katie Urachi Sean Hannity, Well,
you would have thought Kamala Harris would back away from
what Joe said and did, but she didn't.

Speaker 9 (01:23:43):
Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the
American people divided and afraid of each other.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
That is who he is.

Speaker 5 (01:23:55):
Yeah, that's Harris talking about Donald Trump again at the
ellipse her rally in DC last night. Mainstream media has
tried to shut down Trump at every turn, but you
know what, he seems to be getting just more popular.

Speaker 10 (01:24:10):
So are these attacks against Trump actually helping him win votes?

Speaker 11 (01:24:13):
There is definitely this kind of comeback narrative where you know,
he was in the wilderness for four years, and I
think there is a little bit of this underdog factor.

Speaker 10 (01:24:21):
Max a lot with election betting ons dot Com says
people just have bigger concerns than what the left says
about Trump.

Speaker 11 (01:24:27):
There's been really high inflation under Harris's border wasn't under control,
and Trump is also running ads pointing out how she's
been very extreme.

Speaker 10 (01:24:36):

They refuse to release data showing negative effects of puberty blockers.

Speaker 16 (01:26:11):
It's unfathomable to me that there are doctors out there
doing this. I've been in practice for twenty years, and when.

Speaker 17 (01:26:17):
I was in train, this was not a thing.

Speaker 15 (01:26:18):
Doctor Mary Bowden says medical schools have been doctrinated students
into thinking this is normal. While bad parenting is to blame,
most of it's on physicians.

put out new tax brackets for the next year, twenty
twenty five, adjusting them for inflation. But Grover Norquist with
the Americans for Tax Reforms says KTRH, if you really
want a tax break, vote for Donald Trump and Ted Cruse.

Speaker 18 (01:27:01):
Senator Ted Cruz introduced legislation that has had the support
of Trump, which would protect your capital games from being
taxed on inflation.

Speaker 5 (01:27:11):
Every bracket was changed for twenty twenty five, and standard
deductions also increased by four hundred dollars to for individuals
and eight hundred for married couples. But what happened overnight?
Twenty eight hundred dollars an ounce for gold for the
first time in history, the uncertainty over the value of
the dollar. The majority of Americas, however, not buying into

(01:27:34):
cryptocurrency yet they're concerned about its safety and reliability. They're
going with gold.

Speaker 19 (01:27:41):
That's according to a new Pew Research poll that says
sixty three percent of those asked aren't buying it. Lone

wondering who.

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
That is, that is the least successful Jackson LaToya, which
is here looked brief little foreing into country music crash
like you did he just call us garbage? Yes, he did,
he did, and there's no way to spin it. Even
on CNN they were trying to forget how to spill it,
spin it. Caitlin Collins is going, well, I heard what

(01:28:48):
he said. Well, let's make sure everybody heard exactly what
he said again or.

Puerto Rico, where I'm in my home state of Delaware
for good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
floating down there is just support. His demonizational scene is
unconscionable and it's noun American.

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
The key here is, here's the way they're trying to
spend it. Evidently he wasn't referring to voters. He was
referring to the comedian. Well, the comedian is singular. If
you want to say a Trump supporter, that's different than
saying his supporters, which is everybody who votes for him.

(01:29:28):
So hard is they tried to figure out how they
could spin it in a way that was a little
bit more positive, because we don't want to you know,
we don't want to insult seventy million people. Well you
just did, unless, of course, you're not insulted. Because when
somebody who's like the bidenminstrat is, anybody in the Biden administration,

(01:29:49):
you call me any name you want, I'm not gonna
be insulted by it. In fact, I'll take a little
bit of pride in it, because if you actually like me,
then then I have a problem with that. I don't
want to be liked by the Biden administration. I don't
want to be persecuted, but I don't want to be liked.
I stretch of the imagination. All right, Okay, you want

(01:30:09):

the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Sherry, by the way, you
know a little history lesson here about the education Department.
It seems to me, if my memory serves me correctly,

(01:35:23):
and it rarely does that The Education Department kind of
came about because it was an attempted effort by the
federal government to bring states that had low education standards
to sort of bring them up into prove education for
all students across the country, especially in the South. But
it sure hasn't worked out that way.

Speaker 5 (01:35:40):
You used to be part of health, Education and welfare
used to be one part one of one cabinet.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
Yeah, is it political? Has Education Department improved education in
any way, shape or form, Not at all.

Speaker 14 (01:35:52):
They had one job, in your absolutely right, Jimmy, which
was to close the gap between the lowest performing students
and the high performing students. And in the forty years
that it's been in place, you know, Jimmy Carter put
it in place as a campaign promise to the teachers' unions,
And in the forty years that it's been in place,
they have not made the gap, closed that gap an iota.

Speaker 5 (01:36:15):
But they've become incredibly powerful politically, and they've doled out
not just money and dollars in order to keep that
kind of control, they've doled out ideology, and controlled what
teachers teach.

Speaker 14 (01:36:28):
Absolutely, we can talk about the money or the ideology.
You know, they are the people that handle student loans
and grants directly to schools, but student loans are pel grants,
and they so messed that up in the last year
that students can't figure out how to fill out their forms,

(01:36:50):
colleges can't tell whether to accept them. And you know,
this is one of those things the former president is
absolutely right, shouldn't be handled there. We can handle this
in a trade in the Treasury Department. The other thing
that they do, they're supposed to handle civil rights, as
Share pointed out, and so that was the part of
their original job. But now they are the people that

(01:37:11):
have pushed the schools to include gender identity, which is
basically all that they're pushing. They threatened back in twenty
seventeen and again this year that if schools didn't allow
anybody that wants to to go into any bathroom that
they wanted to.

Speaker 36 (01:37:32):
Then they would withhold federal funds. They have not.

Speaker 14 (01:37:37):
They have been on the wrong side of boys playing
in girls' sports, so they've taken that's a big part
of their initiative is that they've distorted Title nine, and
they've distorted civil rights, expanding it to include gender identity,
which of course is not in the law.

Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
Well, it's a huge bureaucracy, like everything else in Washington,
d C. How difficult would it be to get rid
of it?

Speaker 36 (01:38:00):
I think it will be tough. I mean, I want
to say one more thing.

Speaker 14 (01:38:02):
These are the guys that they were pushing to not
open the schools back up after COVID, so huge, huge
learning loss. So again the complete opposite of what of
what they.

Speaker 36 (01:38:14):
Were supposed to do. It will be hard to unravel.

Speaker 14 (01:38:17):
You know, bureaucrat of bureaucracies are a strong force even
if President Trump is re elected. But these everything that
the Department Education does could be that that is important
to do, could be done civil rights for example. We
certainly don't want to make sure that there are no

(01:38:38):
it's no discrimination school systems, but that could be done
by the Justice Department.

Speaker 5 (01:38:43):
Well, take away take away their office building downtown in Washington,
do you see, and ship them out to all the
fifty states. A lot of them would just self deport.

Speaker 14 (01:38:52):
That that would work. That would definitely work. It would
definitely work.

Speaker 36 (01:38:57):
It's time for it to go. It is definitely time
for it to go.

Speaker 14 (01:39:00):
Unraveling these bureaucracies is always hard, but this point it's
been at target for a while. Trump, It's in't the
first party to remember when former president at former Governor
Perry was running for office, he wanted to get rid
of it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
All right, Cherry. Thanks is always good to hear from you,
Cherry Sylvester. This thing we've seen your fellow with the
Texas Public Policy Foundation in seven twenty six. It is
time to take a look at your money. Forty Donaho
is here.

Speaker 22 (01:39:23):
Good morning, Jimmy Well. Stocks have been flipping between gains
and losses all morning. Long SMB futures right now are
little changed. Death futures down eighty five points. Later today
we get earnings reports from Microsoft and Facebook Pair and
company Meta shares of Chipotle falling in the pre market
after the restaurant reported quarterly sales have fell short of
Wall Street expectations. Same store sales rose six percent in

(01:39:45):
the last quarter, which is still quite strong, but investors
have grown accustomed to eye popping results from Chipotle. The
University of Texas is launching a news center dedicated to
the municipal bomb market. A rush of public projects is
expected all around the country after decades of infrastructure disinvestment,
and Chinese investors are jumping into a little known stock

(01:40:06):
whose name sounds like Trump wins big. Less than a
week before the election, shares of Ysoft, whose Chinese name
sounds like Trump's wins big to Mandarin speakers, saw gains
this week of more than thirty percent. I'm Courtney don

(01:41:45):
time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 5 (01:41:49):
It is now seven thirty two on news Radio seven
forty k TRH. Our top story this hour, Donald Trump
repeats his promise to secure the border and to take
care of those victims those injured by the Biden Harris
illegal alien invasion.

Speaker 26 (01:42:05):
We were seizing the assets of the criminal gangs and
drug cartels, and we will use those assets to create
a compensation fund to provide restitution for the victims of
migrant crime.

Speaker 5 (01:42:21):
Trump at mar A Lago, the violent Venezuelan gang trend
A Ragua extorting illegal alien caravans heading into the US.
Mexican officials say that gang now involved with sex trafficking,
drug trafficking, and they're carrying out murders for hire. The
immigration court backlog is so bad meantime under Biden, Harris

(01:42:41):
now has become their de facto amnesty. Apparently no quick fix.

Speaker 21 (01:42:46):
Either, whether that involves getting more judges, bringing more court
you know, either way, none of it really matters unless
you stop off the flow, because the problem will only
continue to get work.

Speaker 5 (01:42:57):
Brandon Walton's there with the Texas SCORECARDI O KTRH. This
is exactly why Donald Trump implemented policies like remain in Mexico.
It is now seven thirty three. Another attack on Trump's supporters,
this time from President Joe Biden. Yesterday he called them garbage,
even democrats some of them anyway, called out the President

(01:43:18):
on this.

Speaker 27 (01:43:19):
I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or
any Americans, even if they chose to support a candidate
that I didn't support that's.

Speaker 5 (01:43:30):
The Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. He was on CNN. Kamala
Harris ignored Biden's rant. She didn't step up like Shapiro did.
It was during her speech in Washington, DC last night.
And as for her number.

Speaker 32 (01:43:43):
Two, Trump last week called this country the garbage can.

Speaker 1 (01:43:49):
For the world.

Speaker 32 (01:43:52):
Literally literally trash talking this country.

Speaker 5 (01:43:56):
No, he really didn't, Walls. Walls was lying at his
Georgia Trump said, Kamala allowed the rest of the world
to use the US as a garbage can. It is
now seven thirty four, polls open again for early voting.
More than six million Texans have voted early so far,
fifty one million overall voting nationwide. Some think, well, does

(01:44:21):
that mean we're going to know the winner before election day?
Not everyone thinks so.

Speaker 28 (01:44:26):
And Shara darren Shaw is a UT professor and also
a part of the Fox News Decision team.

Speaker 29 (01:44:34):
I would really advise people to take analyzes of the
early voting numbers with the grain of salt.

Speaker 28 (01:44:38):
And he adds there is another issue with the early
voting numbers.

Speaker 29 (01:44:43):
If there are a lot more early votes and they're
trending one way or the other, well, that might mean
that people who traditionally vote in person are simply switching
the way to vote. At that point becomes really difficult
to assess one thing.

Speaker 28 (01:44:54):
He says, to keep her eyes on how things go
in Virginia. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven kat.

Speaker 5 (01:45:03):
US Supreme Court has rejected separate appeals by Trump supporter
Robert F. Kennedy Junior to have the Kennedy name removed
from ballast in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan.
So if you vote for Kennedy in those states, your
vote won't count. His name is still there, though, whether
at once to or not. The High Court may additionally

(01:45:24):
be dragged in to this election.

Speaker 30 (01:45:28):
With several election cases already pending across multiple states, there
is a real possibility one or more of them could
end up at the US Supreme Court. South Texas College
of Law professor Josh Blackman says, if it's close, then
the High Court should step in.

Speaker 31 (01:45:40):
If his spomeboard doesn't take it, that might mean that
some stafeboard have an issue I could decide to say
of each oire country and as an issue of ceberal law,
and played that really defended. Now that the competitions to
be interpreted. I think it's sprome court shound the final say,
or at least something.

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
Close to it.

Speaker 30 (01:45:53):
Two key cases right now involved provisional ballots in Pennsylvania
and whether Virginia can purge non citizens from its voter rules.

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon. He was released from prison
serving a four month sentence for defying a subpoena from
the Jay sixth Committee. They called it contempt of Congress.

(01:46:26):
He had a message for those who imprisoned him.

Speaker 32 (01:46:30):
And Nancy Pelosi thought a federal prison was going to
break me, Well, it empowered me?

Speaker 3 (01:46:36):
Was it empowered me?

Speaker 2 (01:46:39):
Betther?

Speaker 5 (01:46:39):
Not let enough Bannon. The Biden Harris doj is taking
him to trial in New York in December, accusing him
of duping people to donate money for the border wall.
Our lack of rain in Texas, it's endangering the citrus
industry in the Rio Grand Valley, Mexico way behind at
an old agreement to allow water into the valley. Mexico

(01:47:04):
offering some help, but has resulted in tons of paperwork,
and that's frustrating the farmers.

Speaker 33 (01:47:10):
We've got winter vegetables, their acreage are being trimmed back
anywhere from thirty to fifty percent this year just because
of the lack of water and then carrying even farther
into the spring of next year as well, all.

Speaker 5 (01:47:22):
The food supply folks. Adalgo County farmer Brian Jones there
says many in the valley field there are only two
options for them, hope that Donald Trump becomes president and
of course pray for rain. It is now seven to

News Radio seven KGRH so do You all know who
Nick Moose is. Nick Bose is a linebacker. He plays
for the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Before that, he
played his college ball at the Ohio State University, which
makes which means he's got one strike against him already
with me, but I think he may have redeemed himself.

(01:48:24):
The headlines are very interesting. Did you hear what he did?
He one of his teammates was was getting interviewed postgame
and he sort of crashed the interview wearing his Make
America Great Again hat. Yeah, he was wearing a mega hat.
Think of what kind of cajones it takes to break
an NFL rule that you know you're likely to get
a ten thousand dollars fine for by making a political

(01:48:47):
statement Number one and number two.

Speaker 5 (01:48:50):
That's rich after Colin Kaepernick.

Speaker 3 (01:48:53):
No kidding, No five for kneeling during the anthem. But yeah,
if you make a political statement like what he did
was in a political statement, come up anyway. The other
thing is you're doing it in San Francisco, one of
the most liberal places. You play for the San Francisco
forty nine ers in one of the most liberal cities
in America, So that takes some gohonies to do what

(01:49:15):
he did, and of course the headlines depend upon you
know where your politics lie. Fox News headline ex ESPN
star challenges Nick Bosa to speak up evidently what he
didn't do. He wore the hat, but he let the
hat speak for itself. In other words, I'm not here
to make a political statement. I'm just wearing my hat.

(01:49:37):
You know, if I'm wearing my hat, you can figure
out what I'm all about. You don't need me to
say anything else. So now the people who are guessing, going, well,
you need to back that up. You need to say something.
Really No, I don't think he does.

Speaker 5 (01:49:50):
You know, it is a big statement because it lets
other people say, hey, look, yeah, maybe why have I
been hiding my hat and then running closet? I mean,
why have I been afraid to put up a yard sign?
Why have I allowed people to bully me?

Speaker 3 (01:50:05):
Maybe that's exactly what that's all about. By the way,
here's my favorite headline. NBC sensors clip of forty nine
er star Nick Bosa and Mega had from social media feed. Yeah,
that's the other side. Doesn't want to let you see that.
There's an opposing point of view in some place like
the National Football League and in a city like San

(01:50:25):

what's going on? Is going on? Well, it looks like
Katie's going on here, Jimmy.

Speaker 4 (01:50:33):
This is Katie Freeway inbound, right before Fry Road.

Speaker 3 (01:50:36):

Speaker 4 (01:50:38):
Lay these backups from a Grand Parkway on the inbound

not a bad morning on two ninety West park Tollway
fourteen sixty four. Here's to break Southwest Freeway. We're going
around the horn breaks from Hillcroft. We're dragging it. We
cleared that wreck a long time ago at Montrose under

(01:51:00):
those pretty bridges, but we're still pretty ugly trying to
get into downtown North Freeway solid. Let's connect those dots
from the Beltway all the way downtown.

Speaker 3 (01:51:08):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:51:08):
It ten East Old River, beautiful, interesting place, but we've
got a wreck here.

Speaker 3 (01:51:13):
Lori from Winnie, Thanks guy Mike.

Speaker 17 (01:51:15):
They are only letting the left hand lane. Pretty bad
wreck on the right hand side. They got three fire trucks.
Y'all want to say a prayer for the seedland that truck,
that wreck, it is not litten.

Speaker 4 (01:51:25):
All right, We'll keep an eye out there. They may
shut the whole thing down. Also Toba read from Rio Visita.

Speaker 16 (01:51:31):
Hello, sweet man, I'm headed to Winnie just west.

especially to the south. Looks like most of the showers
that are popping up right now kind of streaming and
off the Gulf.

Speaker 5 (01:52:06):
Yeah, they're coming in off the golf.

Speaker 23 (01:52:07):
We've got a very steady flow of moisture from the
Golf of Mexico that's helping to contribute to the rain
that we're getting. And I'm seeing some showers around the
Bay and up toward Baytown and approaching Liberty right now,
also down toward Angleton, just these little spotty, kind of
scattered showers, And as the day goes on, I expect
we're going to see more of that seventy percent chance

(01:52:30):
of showers and the thunderstorms today. Not like it's going
to rain all day, but we are dealing with some rain,
and a lot of that will be in the afternoon hours.

Speaker 5 (01:52:39):
Temperatures today will be in the eighties.

Speaker 23 (01:52:41):
Cold front's getting closer tomorrow, so we'll still have a
sixty percent chance of showers and storms tomorrow and Friday,
fifty percent chants and more rain over the weekend we need.

Speaker 33 (01:52:52):
The rain.

Speaker 23 (01:52:52):

This is Houston's morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (01:53:11):
It's being described as a slow breakup. Kamala Harris continues
to distance herself from Joe Biden. She doesn't want to
associate with him. Any any point at any time right
before the election. More than that story coming up next. First, though,
let's check out the drive again. Sky Mike's here.

Speaker 4 (01:53:28):
Let's come up from Missouria County to eighty eight. I've
got some breaks around Highway six yo. Hit a pretty
solid wall at the Beltway. You loose eleven minutes this way,
Golf Freeway. Not bad for the golf. You've got the
brakes right after Edgebrook right at U of H. That's
a hard wall here. Also Southwest Freeway, he'll croft. We're
dragging it up to the West Loops six ' ten
north Freeway solid from Green's Point down and Carla from

(01:53:50):
Salsby and everybody else coming in from the Golden Triangle.
I want you to take ninety in Ien. I think
this problem is going to be there for a long
time and they may shut the whole thing down. At
the Old River Bridge, it's erect eighteen wheeler. Nothing good's happening.
We're backed up from Anawak. I'm Skymike and your Generator
Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:54:08):
From r KTRH Generator super Center, twenty four hour weather center.
For today, we're looking at the morning shower chants. Rain
and thunderstorms are likely for the afternoon. Right now, it's
just around the coast that we're getting some streamers, not storms,
but streamer rain because it's coming off the Gulf eighty
five today Tomorrow, scattered morning thunderstorms, mainly CLOUDI for the
afternoon with understorms likely in a high eighty three temperature.

(01:54:30):
Right now is seventy four at your official severe weather station,
news Radio seven forty KTRH. We're checking out some of
our top stories here on this Wednesday morning.

Speaker 5 (01:54:40):
Big old dark crowd rolling in right now from the south.

Speaker 3 (01:54:43):
Here there come.

Speaker 5 (01:54:44):
It is seven point fifty one on news radio seven
forty KTRH. Our headlines are sponsored by moral mechanical President
Joe Bien, calling Trump supporters garbage. That was his deplorables moment.
On his way out, the top education official in Oklahoma
sent a demand letter to Kamala Harris and invoice for

every day.

Speaker 1 (01:55:29):
The most important day is elects you day.

Speaker 3 (01:55:32):
You're going to hear every single bit.

Speaker 34 (01:55:33):
Of information when we like to listen at you kid,
you electric use radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:55:40):
Well, certainly Kamala is trying to keep Joe at a distance.
He's volunteered to campaign for she. She says, we'll get
back to you. It's the old is the old. We'll
get back to you. Elianed. Yeah, you just stay where
you are. We'll get back to you. And of course
they're not going to get back to him. And I'm
sure he's hurt by it. I would guess these. I
mean he's think of all the insults that he has

(01:56:01):
had to tolerate from his own party here or the
course of the last six months. Pretty sad at any rate.
Charlie Hurt here's Charlie Hurt from the Washington Examiner on
this distancing, this low motion breakup.

Speaker 41 (01:56:14):
You raised the most important point, which is that he
has become a reminder of the lies that she has
been telling the people for the past two years.

Speaker 36 (01:56:23):
And you can extend those lies to.

Speaker 41 (01:56:26):
All of her policy positions that have where she has
flip flopped on every important issue. It's all part of
the exact same dishonesty. And I think you're exactly right
about this. Democrats have absolutely no one to blame for
this predicament but themselves, and no Democrat is more responsible
for that than Kamala Harris herself, because, as you point out,

(01:56:48):
she's spent all of this time, she spent years lying
to people claiming that he.

Speaker 3 (01:56:53):
Was perfectly fit.

Speaker 41 (01:56:55):
And now, what I think is kind of interesting here
is if Donald Trump ends up win, then Joe Biden
gets to walk out of the White House with the
ultimate you know, screw off to his fellow Democrats by saying, look,
I really was the only guy that could beat this guy,
and it's going to be really embarrassing for Harris and

(01:57:17):
the rest of the party.

Speaker 3 (01:57:19):
Interesting. Hey, what more story for you here, Shriff big
I wish i'd gotten to this center. I just noticed it.
The guy who attacked Paul Pelosi. That guy. Yeah, First
of all, he had been given a thirty year sentence,
prison sentence. Then they went ahead and that's a federal sentence.
Then they went ahead and tried him. Excuse me, they

(01:57:41):
tried him on federal charges. He has been given a
life sentence, a life in prison sentence for his attack.
He was charged sence to life without the possibility of
parole for state charges of aggravated kidnapping, first degree burglary,
and false imprisonment of an elder for for for as

(01:58:02):
untough on real criminals, not that this guy is an
a criminal, but as untough as they are on people
who are committing murders, they're more than happy to send
this guy to life without the possibility of parole.

Speaker 5 (01:58:14):
With all the security around that house this happened, yeah
mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:58:20):
Yeah, Well we never got I don't think we ever
got the real story of what happened there, and they're
going to make sure we never do because this guy,
this guy is never getting out of jail ever.

Speaker 5 (01:58:32):
J six prisoners still incarcerated.

Speaker 3 (01:58:35):
Yep, they haven't even had their trial. Will they ever
get their trial?

Speaker 5 (01:58:40):
Donald Trump is selected, they'll be released, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:58:42):
Right, they'll be pardon or just playing release charges.

Speaker 5 (01:58:45):
Well, maybe not the violent. If there's anybody in there
