good except two eighty eight. I've got so I've got

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Cloudy skies today, high near seventy and we've got an
overnight low tonight down to fifty nine. It's going to
get really really warm tomorrow, but that won't last very long.
And Jeff Ando at the Weather Channel is going to
tell us all about it. Coming up at five to ten.
Right now, we have fifty three degrees at your official
severe weather stations Radio seven forty KTRH. And now it's
Sam for the morning news. Cliff Saunders, Good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
Bob, and good morning everybody. Five OHO one on KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Our top story, we're going to force of law, period
and they're not going to stop us.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
That is incoming borders are Tom Holman with our own
Sean Hannity last night. Holman is in Texas today to
see the border disaster for himself.

Speaker 7 (01:40):
This is a sign that Texas officials will finally get
some much needed help soon.

Speaker 8 (01:44):
They've been working for four years to share the border themselves,
but they've made some progress certainly, so I think you'll
see chomping Texas officials work very very closely together.

Speaker 7 (01:52):
Political consultant Matt Mkobeac told KTRH Homan might be able
to learn a few things from Texas.

Speaker 8 (01:58):
What the skate Texas done is unprecedented. Doing what they've
done the Rio Grand River with the river buoys taking
over an Areaego Pass that was being used as a
way to traffic people.

Speaker 7 (02:06):
Mcoeax says, thanks to all this advanced planning from the administration,
you can expect to see big day one results. Ethan
Buchinnan News Radio seven forty.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
KR, thank you, Ethan, and that visit is set for
noon in Eagle Pass. It also comes as nearly seventy
five percent of adults told CBS News and you gov
that they favor President elect Trump's plant mass deportations, nearly
fifty percent, calling it a quote high priority, but the
current administration won't make it easy for Trump. Border security

(02:37):
expert Lower Reese told KTRH that the Biden Whinehouse is
allowing illegal aliens to skip their check ins with ICE,
permitting them to use a new app.

Speaker 9 (02:47):
What they're trying to do on their way out the
door is create the so called ICE app that is
having an alien check in, but it doesn't check their
GPS their location. It's really a bit of a joke,
laughing and acting safes.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Their real goal, she says, is to make it easier
for illegals to avoid deportation. Once Trump returns to office.
But the President elect does have a plan to fight
back day one, twenty five percent tariffs on imports coming
in from Mexico, China, and Canada.

Speaker 10 (03:18):
He announced it last night on social media.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
Trump said, quote, Mexico and Canada have the power to
solve this long simmering problem. Five h three Now on KTRH,
the January sixth election interference case against the President elect
is officially dropped by a federal judge at the request
of Special counsel Jack Smith.

Speaker 11 (03:39):
What we saw in Florida, now, in Washington, DC, and
in New York is the vindication that Don Trump did
nothing wrong and that he was only prosecuted because in
like his political stance.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski on NEWSMAX. Smith also filed a
motion to drop his appeal in a classifying documents case
in Florida, in case that had already been dismissed by
federal Judge Eileen Kennon. And of course, the Manhattan conviction
has been put on hold now until twenty twenty nine.
With the law there seemingly out of the way, and

(04:13):
with a Republican Congress coming in, can Trump accomplish all
of his second term goals.

Speaker 12 (04:19):
Some areas are ripe for swift action, one of them
being his biggest platform.

Speaker 13 (04:23):
The immigration thing is going to be something he can
push very quickly. That's solely the purview of the federal government,
and it's really all under the statutory power of the executive.

Speaker 12 (04:32):
Banchie of the Red State says a thin House majority
adds a challenge to Trump achieving all of his goals.
But some things like lowering prices are really up to faith.

Speaker 13 (04:41):
Because you're talking about deflation at that point. That would
usually only happen when you have serious economic crisis.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
He says.

Speaker 12 (04:47):
Trump can stabilize things, but that starts with fixing mortgage rates.
Andre Perard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (04:54):
It's five oh five now. The Thanksgiving travel rush really
ramps up today. Though things have been smoothed so far,
things could get bumpy later this week.

Speaker 14 (05:07):
Anyone traveling in the Southeast could face delays as airport
service workers have gone on strike in Charlotte, a hub
for American airlines. Weather may also cause major travel headaches.
A Thanksgiving Day storm could bring heavy snow to parts
of New York, New Hampshire, and May.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
That is Fox and Steve Harrigan reporting, and here's something
you might not have known. TSA officials say that they
see passengers every day here in Houston showing up at
the wrong airport. Coming up now on five oh six.
For those of you hosting and cooking this Thanksgiving, we're
in the middle of a nationwide egg shortage.

Speaker 15 (05:45):
Customers are feeling the hurt in their wallets from Maine
to Mississippi, but not so much here in the Lone
Star State.

Speaker 16 (05:51):
Here in Texas, as I checked with our major grocery retailers,
really have sufficient product of eggs going into holiday.

Speaker 15 (05:59):
Gary hug with the Texas Retailers Association says that there
have been recent cases of bird flu that affected some
egg producers and that could call shortages in other parts
of the country. He says, other than normal fluctuations due
to higher demand, we shouldn't see any major egg price
increases this season. Eric Sharp News Radio seven forty krh Eric.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
But that said, the average price for a dozen eggs
is up thirty percent over the last year to about
three dollars and thirty seven cents a dozen. After closing
at a record high yesterday, Dow futures are flat in
overnight trading. In fact, trading is flat across the board
this morning ahead of the opening bill. And in case
he didn't already realize it, stock trading is now a

(06:41):
twenty four to seven thing. Robin Hood and Interactive Brokers
both offer the service and have been doing it for
a year. Charles Schwab is about to offer it as well.
Certifying financial planner Bill Dendy calls it remarkable.

Speaker 17 (06:54):
Just like we want to go get our milk at
seven am to eleven pm, and now he won twenty
four hour place is go get our milk.

Speaker 18 (07:00):
We just want our stocks and anytime we want.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
So far, the number of companies that are trading overnight
is limited. Dandy warns there's a downside. The number of
traders is so small that buyers and sellers may not
get their preferred prices.

Speaker 10 (07:17):
It's now five oh seven.

Houston Texans defensive back Jalen p Tray is out indefinitely
with a partially torn pectoral muscle. The Texans host Jacksonville
on Sunday and the Rockets are in Minnesota tonight pregames

on Houston's News weather and traffic station News Radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett and Bob
Fran sitting in for Jimmy Barrett. Good morning too, at
a seven minutes after the hour of five o'clock on
this Tuesday morning, a couple of days before Thanksgiving. And
President Trump has a lot to be thankful for, and
so do his supporters, who were thrilled to find out
yesterday that the law fair case against him had been

(08:03):
tossed out of Federal District Court Special Consul Jack Smith.
You just starned Cliff talk about it agreeing to dismiss
the case. Actually, the judge agreed to dismiss the case
at Smith's request. This all, of course, stemmed from the
alleged scheme to subvert the transfer of power after the
twenty twenty election, bringing to close another one of the

(08:25):
law fair cases. Historic and US unprecedented are the prosecutions
of President Trump. In newly filed court documents, federal prosecutors
working in Smith's office told US District Judge Tanya Chutkin
that they are trying to close the Trump case now
because the Justice Department's policy forbids the prosecution of a

(08:47):
sitting president. So this is something, of course, that the
left has been screaming about. One of the reasons why
they wanted to defeat Trump so badly in the election
was to obviously stop him from taking power again, but
also they wanted to imprison him for his first term.
They tried to impede, did impeach him twice, obviously, tried

(09:07):
to remove him from office, couldn't do that, couldn't stop
him from running again, couldn't stop him from from winning.
And now they're just a basket case. They are crying
their eyes out. Dan Goldman, we'll have some audio of
him in just a little while. Another's saying this is
going to lead to Trump's retribution crusade beginning soon. Goldman,

(09:29):
by the way, is hilarious. Do I have time for
this right now? Let me see, you've got a less
than a minute here before. Yeah, let me let me
just hitch you with this because I think it's worth
our time here and maybe not. Yeah, I'm not going
to be able to connect it for you just in time.
But Dan Goldman is one of the leading Trump cry babies.
In other words, he cries every time Trump does something
well or succeeds at something. And he went on CNN

(09:51):
last night calling the end of this case against Donald
Trump a huge, huge blow to democracy. So we'll share
that with the We continue this morning. A lot of
important Trump news involving tariffs you just heard Cliff talk
about as well. And yes, the borders are who was
on Hannity last night is coming to see for himself today.
We'll have a lot of commentary and stories on that

(10:15):
this morning as well. All Right, we're just getting rolling.
It is ten minutes after the hour, so let's go
ahead and get our traffic and weathers squared away.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
And that means we're going to check in with mister
Sky Mike. All right, Bob Fritz, put your hard hat on.
We are going to the hard working east side of
town and we're going to check out your ship Channel bridge.
There's a lot of hard hats trying to get to
work this morning. From the Baytown side. Here, I've got
this beautiful shot of the Hartman Bridge. Did you know, Bob,
it's longer than the Golden Gate Bridge. It is actually
from the baytown side rock and along to Laport. No

(10:43):
problems here, all lit up and pretty toll Bridge. It's
not as pretty, but it's got an awesome view. Let's
go from north Shore down the two twenty five. Looks
good if you're working at Shell or Bmex. Let's check
the East Loop six ' ten. Hey, Filaro, look at
you over there. We look at from the Butt Plant
down to good Year Plant. Kind of smells funny there,
but we're okay. So far, wide open speeds here, and

(11:05):
I've got this shot of the East Freeway John Martin
right in front of Bucky's Bob, we're looking at so
far Baytown in from the Chevron Phillips Plant, an easy
twenty six minute stroll into downtown. We're gonna check yourvisor
side of town at the five twenty break in the
Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
All right, thank you very much, good sir. Let's check
on the forecast for today and into Thanksgiving week. Jeff
Eno at the Weather Channel. Hey Jeff, yes, sir, good morning, Bob.
Mostly sunny today. We will top out right at seventy degrees,
exactly where we are supposed to be for this time
of year. Part MC cloudy tonight. Overnight low falls back
to the upper fifties now that's about ten degrees above average.

(11:42):
As we once again start to warm things up ahead
of that next frontal system, mostly sunny on Wednesday up
to around eighty five and again is approaching record territory.
And then as we move into Thanksgiving Day with this
is a dry frontal system for mostly cloudy Thanksgiving Day,
but we drop the temperature back to the mid sixth
and then a mostly sunny day for those Black Friday shoppers,

(12:03):
low sixties for that afternoon high. They only look at rain,
maybe a stray afternoon shower on Saturday. All right, Jeff,
thanks very much. Right now we have fifty three degrees
at your official severe weather station. He's Radio seven forty
k t RH.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy Barrett and the Houston
Morning News Team. All the info you need to take
on the day.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
And good morning once again, Bob Franz sitting in for
Jimmy on this Tuesday morning. Yeah, here's Dan Goldman, the
representative from New York. He's been one of the loudest.
He was one of the impeachment dogs hired by the
left to try to take Donald Trump down in his
first term, and at the end of his first term,
he has been one of the leading critics and one
of the most aggressive attackers of everything with respect to

(12:52):
the law fair against Trump. When he found out yesterday
that Jack Smith's special counsel went ahead and asked that
Federal District Court which granted the request to dismiss the
case against President Trump on the Atlantic case with respect
to not Atlanta, Georgia, I guess I should say, with
respect to trying to overturn the results of an election,

(13:13):
this is how he melted down.

Speaker 19 (13:14):
I think it is a shame for justice in this country.
It establishes that Donald Trump is above the law. The
Supreme Court put him above the law in that opinion
that Paula just mentioned. But now he appears to escape
full accountability for what were crimes charged by a grand jury.

(13:34):
And I would just add one other thing that we
ought to pay close attention to. We cannot normalize the
fact that Donald Trump, as the president elect, should not
be held accountable for crimes that he committed before.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, no one in America believes that he committed crimes.
No one believes that there were actual crimes committed This
was from the very beginning. Why do you think these
charges weren't filed in twenty twenty one. Why weren't they
filed in twenty twenty two. Why weren't they filed in
twenty twenty three. They waited until the Trump made the
announcement that he was going to run. Once it became
clear who's going to run again, that's when charges were filed.

(14:11):
Why because it was an attempt to stop him from
running for president. It has nothing to do with crime,
it has nothing to do with justice. It has everything
to do with, oh my god, he wants to do
it again and he might win again. How do we
stop him? That's exactly what this was. And so the
judge made the point and made the call yesterday it
is over. Here's how NBC came.

Speaker 20 (14:31):
Aaron Hally and we're starting with that breaking news here
in Washington. In just the last couple of minutes, we're
learning a judge is signing off on the Special Council's
request to dismiss his federal investigation into President elect Donald Trump.
Yet another historic moment after.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Four years full of them.

Speaker 20 (14:47):
Remember what we're talking about here, the charges against a
former president now President elect that he tries to subvert
the legitimate results of the twenty twenty election, culminating in
the deadly January sixth attack on the Capitol, the first
time a president has ever faced charges.

Speaker 21 (15:01):
For what he did in office.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
So this, by the way, and I think I did
confuse two of them, because obviously the Atlantic case they
accused him of trying to change the results of an election.
This of course had to do with the January sixth,
between that and the mar Lago documents case being tenuous
at best. And of course Judge Mrshawn in New York
has indefinitely postponed any sentencing for the convictions there. It

(15:24):
is pretty much all breaking President Trump's way. And this
is of course what is triggering that left us melt down.
And we're going to enjoy a lot more of those tiers,
Aysan when he goes on, I promise you. But right
now we're gonna check traffic once again. At twenty Here
is Scott Mike. All right, Bob, let's go advisoring.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I live in friends with Your forecast is at the
bottom of the album on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
All right, so let's talk a little bit more about
the breaking news yesterday from President Trump on his Day
one priorities with respect to tariffs. This is one of
the reasons, quite frankly, that the President won the election overwhelmingly.
On Tuesday, November fifth, his promise of turning around the
economy by making other countries pay for shipping their goods

(17:56):
into the United States. Our manufacturing has slipped massively, manufacturing
jobs way down, and so the President said, tariffs. We're
going to slap on tariffs. There was a big debate
about whether or not that would be effective or whether
it would increase prices. Chances are both. It could increase
prices but also be very very effective in eventually getting

(18:16):
more American made goods into people's households and eventually those
prices come down. But the President announced he'll raise tariffs
in additional ten percent on all Chinese goods coming into
the United States, according to his post from truth Social yesterday,
and this would be added to the twenty five percent

(18:38):
tariffs he is going to impose on goods from Mexico
and Canada. So wait a minute, this is right here
in our own backyard, so to speak. You know, each
of our North American trading partners and neighbors. President Trump said,
doesn't matter. This is all about America. First quote from
truth Social. As everyone is aware, thousands of people are

(18:59):
pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing crime and drugs at
levels never seen before. Right, Now, a caravan coming from
Mexico composed of thousands of people seems to be unstoppable
in its quest to come through our currently open border.
On January twentieth, as one of my many first executive orders,
I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and
Canada a twenty five percent tariff on all capitalized products

(19:23):
coming into the United States and its ridiculous open borders.
This tariff will remain in effect until such time as drugs,
in particular fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this invasion
of our country. Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute
right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem.
We hereby demand that they use this power, and until

(19:44):
such time that they do, it is time for them
to pay a very big price. Now. Bill Ackman, who
famously supported President Trump, among those former leftists and Democrats
who came over and supported President Trump, up on that
message from Truth Social message on truth Social from President
Trump with a tweet he wanted everybody to understand. To

(20:08):
be clear, this is his quote to be clear. According
to Trump, the twenty five percent tariffs will not be
implemented or be implemented if implemented will be removed once
Mexico and Canada stop the flow of the legal immigrants
and fentanyl into the United States. In other words, he's
going to use tariffs as a weapon to achieve economic
and political outcomes which are in the best interests of America,

(20:30):
fulfilling his America First policy. This is a great way
for Trump to affect foreign policy changes even before he
takes office. He is exactly correct, and that's what this
is all about. He ran on this, and I will
tell you this. Time will tell whether or not President
Trump is able to keep all of the promises that
he has made. But so far, everything that he has

(20:53):
said he would do is what he is doing. With
respect to cabinet appointments, with respect to day one, everything
he ran on he is doing now. Promises made and
promises captures a popular slogan, and time will tell whether
these things all shake out. But it is very very
clear that he didn't just say things for the sake
of getting elected. He said them when he met them.

(21:14):
And what we're seeing in this early transition period is
bearing that out. Okay, five twenty six, Now that means
it's time to take a look at our Bloomberg Business
and see what's happening in the markets today. I believe
we have Dan Schwartzman. Dan, Yeah, I'm in for.

Speaker 23 (21:28):
Dan Schwartzman today, Bob. It's Denise Peliguney here in. One
interesting thing that we're oh, No, One interesting thing we're
really watching this morning is the impact on financial markets
of those tariffs that you were just talking about with
President like Donald Trump vollowing to slap additional tariffs on Mexico,
Canada and China. At least that's a threat. It's the
currency markets where we're really seeing this with the dollar

(21:50):
surging this morning. I meantime, Walmart reversing its diversity, equity
and inclusion initiatives, including no longer considering race and gender
in supplier contract and Walmart is also stopping demographic data
collection for financing eligibility. And the company is also curbing
racial equity training, stopping participation in LGBTQ advocacy group rankings,

(22:12):
and reviewing its support for Pride events. And that follows
pressure from anti DEI activist Robbie Starbuck and weight loss
drugs like ozempic maker Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilies, Monjarl
getting a lot of attention right now because, Bob, the
Biden administration, as you've been mentioning, proposing a rule to
require the US government to cover weight loss drugs. If approved,
this would expand access for millions of Americans with obesity.

Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 10 (23:52):
Thank you, Bob.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Good morning everybody. Five thirty one on KTRH. How our
top story this hour, more.

Speaker 10 (23:57):
Violent crime in Houston.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
HP is on the lookout for al Varro Lovos in
connection with the murder of his neighbor. Charlie Wilson, was
killed on the north Side last week, stabbed twenty five
times and elsewhere. The Houston man charged with killing a
young father in a road raid shooting earlier this month
is back in court today for a bond hearing. Carlos

(24:19):
Chavez was actually out on bond for another road rage
shooting at the time of his latest case. Crimes like
these are one reason why new polling shows at the
rate of gun ownership among Republican women has skyrocketed in
recent years of fifty percent since twenty eighteen.

Speaker 25 (24:36):
When every second counts, the police are often minutes away,
so having that firearm to be able to respond at
a moment's notice that the critical key to saving your
life in many instances.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
That's Chris mcnutty, president of Texas Gun Rights. By the way,
the same Gallup poll showed that gun ownership for Democrat
men dropped seven points to just twenty nine percent. Two Now,
I'm KTRHNN Washington. President elect Donald Trump talking about what
he plans to do on day one after he takes

(25:07):
the oath of office.

Speaker 26 (25:08):
President elected Donald Trump taking a true social to post
on January twentieth is one of my many first executive orders.
I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and
Canada a twenty five percent tariff on all products coming
into the United States, explaining the tariffs would remain in
place until the two countries cracked down on drugs, specifically
fentanyl and migrants crossing the border illegally.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
Fox Is Kristen Goodwin reporting, by the way, Trump had
the election interference case dropped against him yesterday. More on
that coming up at six o'clock. But will tariffs be
enough to close the border down? Texas Governor Greg Abbitt
says no, in.

Speaker 27 (25:45):
My opinion, we don't have enough ice agents, we don't
have enough border patrol agents. We need as much manpower
as we can get right now because it's all hands
on deck.

Speaker 5 (25:53):

(26:15):
cabinet will reportedly vote today on whether or not to
approve the ceasefire deal with Hesblah. Whitehouse National Security spokesman
John Kirby says they're hopeful.

Speaker 28 (26:25):
We believe that the trajectory of this is going in
a very positive direction, but yeah, nothing is done until
everything is done.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend said he
approved the potential deal and there are reports saying that
the Biden Whitehouse is putting pressure on the Israelis to
take this deal.

TSA administrator David Pikowski, And if you're driving, gas prices
are ticking up across Euston this morning at two sixty
one a gallon, the state wide average in Texas sitting
at two sixty three. You're lucky, though, because the national
average is three dollars and six cents. As the Biden
administration tries to push everybody towards electric cars, they insist

(27:28):
that prices are gradually going to come down. That's not
happening though. The average GV costs about sixty grand. Automotive
expert Mike caud Ill telling Fox there's still no mass
market for these things.

Speaker 30 (27:41):
Throw the tax credits out the door, you can throw
the pricing out the door. You have to create an
environment where consumers want to buy these cars, and right
now they don't want to buy them because they don't
understand them and they're getting all of this EV stuff
shoved down their throat.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
And by the way, Tesla's Elon Musk once said that
producing a twenty five thousand dollars EV model would be
quote silly and pointless. It's five point thirty five. We're
all dealing with inflation, we're all dealing with the rising
cost of healthcare. But rural Texans are just trying to
find any healthcare.

Speaker 31 (28:16):
Like the residents of Booie, Texas who lost their hospital
and then last month they're er closed.

Speaker 32 (28:23):
And so the residents are trying to look at options
to allow them to have especially emergency care in the area.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
That's Kim Roberts with the Texan twenty.

Speaker 32 (28:33):
Rural hospitals have closed since two thousand and five in Texas,
and rural healthcare is really suffering.

of it. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven k T.

Thanks Jeff, and then there are our struggling farmers now

Speaker 22 (28:57):
Texas Farm Bureau spokesman Gary Joyner says it's urgent authorities
in Mexico are not living up to their end of
a water sharing agreement that dates back seventy make it
eighty years.

Speaker 33 (29:07):
Texas agriculture in the Lower re Organ Valley is going
to disappear without water from the treaty obligations.

Speaker 22 (29:15):
Joiner says there's hope that new President Trump will pressure
Mexico into living up to the nineteen forty four treaty
and that Texas officials will hurry to get the water
to farmers. Michael Shiloh News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Houston's Morning News continues with Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
It does, indeed, except that Jimmy Barrett is off for
the week. Bob France sitting in, going to have you
with us this morning. So, Kamala Harris, where has she been?
Kamala Harris has been on vacation. She's been in Hawaii,
while the country I don't know, can we say, continues
to burn in large part we can Joe Biden is
doing a lot of very strange things here, perhaps to

(30:45):
I don't make things more difficult for President Trump once
he comes in on day one, to keep all of
his promises, including allowing, if not encouraging, massive numbers of
migrants to surge across the border, encouraging if allowing, if
not encouraging, and escalation of the war in Eastern Europe
by telling the Ukrainians they can shoot American missiles into Russia.

(31:06):
While all that's going on, the Vice President, who supposedly
is part of all of the consequence of decisions going
on in the White House, well, she's been in Hawaii
on a beach. Now she's pondering her political future. According
to multiple reports, she has Washington Examiner in particular saying
she has told her allies that she is staying in

(31:28):
the fight and keeping open the possibility of running for
governor of California in twenty twenty six or president in
twenty twenty eight. That would be something really, really interesting,
given the fact that she, of course was widely considered
to be the worst candidate in the history of the
American American presidential politics, and people like Joshapiro in Pennsylvania

(31:50):
Gaven Newsom in California are looking the idea that she
could run again is kind of preposterous. But then again,
these are the Democrats. Maybe not. Remember it's all about
historic identity politics more than it is about competency. The
outgoing Vice President is set to use the Thanksgiving and
Christmas holiday season to decide on her next steps, beginning

(32:11):
with her escape from Washington, DC to the Oloha State
this past week. The report also claims she will speak
out against President elect Donald Trump, who had defeated her
in all seven swing states in the election less than
three weeks ago, to reaffirm herself as the Democrat Party's leader.
She thinks she's the leader. She has no idea why
she was even handed the denomination. She'll have two public

(32:31):
events before she leaves the Naval Observatory on January twentieth.
She'll oversee a joint session of Congress on January sixth,
which will affirm her loss to Trump, and that'll be interesting,
along with her to bart departure from the vice presidency
on January twentieth. So there you go, Kamala, not going
gentle into that good night. Six forty. Let's do or
excuse me, five forty, let's do traffickan weather once again,

(32:54):
and we'll check in here with scam Mike.

They'll have that up any minute now, Skymike on the

Speaker 3 (34:00):
All right, thank you very much, Good sir, and Jeff
Eno at the Weather Channel has our forecast for the weekend.

Speaker 36 (34:04):
Jeff, Hey, Bob, got mostly sunny skies today. We'll get
up to around seventy and cleaning up a little activity
from yesterday we hit the mid eighties. As a matter
of fact, we went up to eighty six officially, and yes,
that is a brand new record high for November twenty fifth.
Now for tonight, we're partly cloudy, overnight low in the
upper fifties. Tomorrow mostly sunny. We may do it again

(34:25):
high right around eighty five, eighty four of the record
setback in nineteen eighty nine. And then for Thanksgiving Day
we're mostly cloudy. We'll get up into the mid sixties,
low sixties for the afternoon high Friday under mostly sunny skies.
And for those boaters and such, north winds over the
Gulf waters guesting up to around twenty five knots. We've
got the small craft advisory for Matta, Gorda and Galveston Bay.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
All right, thank you, Jeff. And fifty three degrees. Now
it's your official severe weather station. News Radio seven forty KTRH.
What you need to know for the day ahead.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solution.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
All right, it is five point forty seven. Good morning
to you. So Tom Holme is coming to town. Tom
Holman is coming to Texas anyway, not every town, but
it's enough for him to take a look at the
problem firsthand. We're calling it Biden's border disaster. It's not
really us calling that, it's just what it is. We're
acknowledging it. He was on Hannity last night, was the
incoming borders are? And by the way, is there another

(35:23):
I don't have the ability to do a poll with
you here, but I can just ask you to send
an email to me by way of my website, strictly
speaking dot org. Click the contact button there and hit
me up with an email and just tell me which
of the President's new cabinet appointees and nominees. Of course,
many of them have to be confirmed. Tom Holman is
not one of them who has to be confirmed. Which

(35:46):
one has he the most excited? Because I said it
from the beginning, and I will say now that the
list has been completed. I don't care about Secretary of State, secretary,
the foul shouldn't They don't care about those things. But
none of them are as impressive to me as President
Trump's very first priority. The moment he was elected, he said,
Tom Homan, call Tom Holman. Get him on the line.
He's my borders are and he I'm sure he knew
this going in. Tom Omen is so incredibly impressive. If

(36:09):
anybody can indeed stop the extraordinary flow of drugs, including
fentanyl into this country, human trafficking and so on and
so forth, to seal the border, get the deportation proceedings done,
it is this dedicated patriot. So Tom Holman is my guy.
Tell me who your favorite nominee is, thus far your
most impressive one for me, It's Homan. You can send

(36:29):
an email to me by way Bob at strictly speaking
dot org. Anyway. He was on Hannity last night talking
about the Denver mayor who says he will indeed obstruct
every federal effort to remove illegal aliens from Denver, and
tom Omen says, your terms are.

Speaker 18 (36:45):
Acceptable, absolutely breaking law.

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Oh yes, to look at Arizona versus USC the's breaking
the law.

Speaker 18 (36:50):
But look, me and the Denver mayor we agree on
one thing. He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing
to put him in jail.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
Because there's a statue is Title eight called thirteen twenty
four Triple I, and what it says is is a
felony if you knowingly harbor and concealed and from immigration authorities.
Is also a family to imped federal enforced, and offster.
So if we don't want to help, that's fine, he
can get the hell all the way, but we're going
to go do the job. President Trump has a mandate

(37:16):
for American people. We got to secure this country, we
got to save American lives. And I find it shocking
any mayor of a city would say, President trusts, be clear,
we want a conscentry on public safety threats and national
security threats. I find it hard to believe that any
mayor or government would say they don't want public safety
threats remove from their neighborhoods. I mean, I mean, I
don't know what is going on in Denver, but we're
gonna go and we're gonna fix it. If you don't

(37:37):
want to fix it, if you don't want to protect
his communities, President Trump and.

Speaker 18 (37:41):
Ice Will, I love it absolutely.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
This is why he's easily my most the most impressive,
and my favorite of the appointees thus far. Tom Holman
doesn't play. He's willing to be arrested. I'm willing to
arrest him. Your terms are acceptable, phenomenal. We're going to
talk more about the border and what Biden is doing
to loosen immigration policies before Trump takes office to make
things harder. Lori Reese is going to join us from
a border security and immigration center at the Heritage Foundation

(38:05):
in about a half an hour, at about six twenty two.
You'll want to be here for that I point fifty.
Now you want to be here for sky Mike because
he's going to tell you how to get from where
you are where you want to be.

Speaker 4 (38:13):

of road debris in those toll lanes. You've already spin
enough to be in the toll lanes. You don't have
to want to have to get new tires. So watch

we're good to go as long as you stay on

Speaker 4 (39:48):
It makes my day easier. Remember the rule of three
can make the day better.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
On Youth Radio seven forty KTRH and one of our
very top stories this morning, we have we want to
continue to follow up on the case against President Trump.
The attempt to overthrow or overturn the results of an
election has been tossed. Federal judge announced yesterday in the

(40:15):
District Court in Washington that he is accepting the request
from Jack Smith. The Special Council deranged what you don't
call it deranged Jacksmith, I think is what he called him.
Deranged Jack Smith requested that the case be dismissed. The
judge said, yeah, we agree. From the alleged scheme to
subvert the transfer of power. After the twenty twenty election,

(40:35):
law professor Jonathan Turley on Fox spoke on what deranged
Jack Smith knew and what he did know about this election.

Speaker 37 (40:43):
But in this case, Smith was like a captain who
would soon be without a ship or crew, and he
had to dismiss this case.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
It wasn't by choice.

Speaker 37 (40:51):
In many respects, Smith, up until the very end, was
fulfilling the stereotype of his critics. He pushed to release
information before the election that he did not have to
put on the public record. Even the court said it
was procedurally irregular, but she still went with it and

(41:11):
released the information. It was viewed as nothing short of
election interference. He was trying to influence the election. What
Smith knew is that this election would have the effect
of the largest jury verdict in history that if the
president was elected, he was out of a job. And
that turned out to be true.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
The reason that I love Jonathan Turley, he does speak plainly,
and I think that's very well said. That is exactly correct.
The jury didn't need to be impaneled in Washington. The
jury didn't need to be impaneled in Georgia. Journey didn't
need the jury didn't need to be impaneled in New
York for any of these lawfare cases against President Trump.
The jury was, you know, three hundred million American well,

(41:56):
one hundred and seventy one hundred and eighty million voters,
whatever the number is. That was the jury. If they
thought Donald Trump was guilty of any of those things.
They would have voted him out of office or declined
to let him return to office. And if they felt like, no,
he is being railroaded and these are bogus charges, they
would elect him to office. Well, we saw it overwhelmingly

(42:17):
electorally and by the national popular vote. This is exactly
what President Trump wanted, was just let the American people
speak on this. So the judge decided that is exactly
the way it should should have gone down. Judge Tanya
Chicken dismissed the election excuse me interference charges without prejudice,
leaving open the very highly unlikely possibility of future prosecution.

(42:40):
But the left, they're still going to cling to that.
In the two page opinion, the judge wrote that dismissing
the case without prejudice is appropriate and would not harm
the public interest, agreeing with Jack Smith's argument that Trump's
immunity would not cover him when he leaves office. This
is something not dissimilar to the request in New York,
with the district Attorney Alvin Bragg asking the judge there

(43:04):
to hold the case and stay the case for four years.
Let's sentence him in four years after he's out of office.
The idea that that would continue that far on again
when they were ridiculous charges that have never been brought
before against anyone, much less the you know, a candidate
for president and a former president. This is just this
is just I don't know, coping. I guess this is

(43:24):
the best word to use it, the coping with their
defeat by saying, yeah, well, we could still get them later,
you know, years down the line, we could still get them.
That's what Democrats are doing right now is trying to cope.
All right. It is five fifty six Houston's Morning News.

Now the morning news. Here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 10 (44:57):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 36 (44:58):
Bob.

Speaker 10 (44:58):
It is six ZHO one on k TRH our top story.

Speaker 18 (45:02):
We're not waiting to January twentieth.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
We're already planning what we're going to do to lock
down the state of Texas.

Speaker 5 (45:07):
Incoming borders are Tom Homan on Fox and Friends. Within
the last hour, Homan is here in Texas. We'll visit
Eagle Pass with Governor Greg Abbott to see the disaster
for himself.

Speaker 8 (45:18):
I think one of the big questions is going to
be this Operational Long Star continue either in the way
that it has, or is it scaled back or is
it basically halted. It is an immense financial commitment from
the State of Texas and Texas taxpayers.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
Political consultant Matt mccoeac telling KTRH that the incoming Trump
administration might be able to take aspects of Operation Lone
Star and apply them to the national effort to secure
the border that Home and is leading. But despite all
of this, the Biden Harris administration is making things harder
for Trump and Homan to fix what's been broken.

Speaker 31 (45:52):
Basically, they're trying to make it easier for illegals to
avoid deportation after Trump takes off.

Speaker 9 (46:00):
They're doing all they can on their way out the door.
And this is just a clap in machase to the
American public.

Speaker 31 (46:06):
That is Laura Reese, director of Border Security at the
Heritage Foundation, who says the administration is now letting illegals
skip their ice check ins.

Speaker 9 (46:17):
Americans need to know about this. They certainly didn't vote
for this Americans voted for and support nasty portations.

Speaker 31 (46:24):
Instead, the Dems are throwing out mass roadblocks. Chuffiggs News
Radio seven forty k T eight, and this would be.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
Another reason why Trump is launching this mass deportation effort.
An illegal alien arrested in Virginia for raping a woman
on a Jonking trail just four days after he was
released from jail on another charge. Trump is also trying
to pressure Mexico and Canada to help secure the border,

(46:52):
promising day one twenty five percent tariffs on truth social
Trump wrote that Mexico and Canada have the quote power
to solve this long simmering problem. It's six poh three
now on KTRH. The federal judge overseeing the January sixth
election interference case against Trump officially drops the proceedings after

(47:13):
a request by special counsel Jack Smith.

Speaker 11 (47:16):
Jack Smith's trial and his charges against Donald Trump were
a complete sham, just as they have been in the
state of New York.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski on Newsmax. This comes a week
after the Manhattan sentencing for that conviction on the Business
Front case was paused until twenty twenty nine. Trump's goals
are lofty for his second term, but can he get
everything done with a razor thin House majority. Wright State's
Banchi says things like the border can be done quickly,

(47:45):
but lowering prices will take more of an effort.

Speaker 13 (47:49):
There are certainly things that he can do to stop
the continued increase and try to stabilize things. The big
thing that he can do to lower prices, specifically is
mortgage trades. It's obviously not under his direct control, but
he's going to be appointing, hopefully somebody to the FED,
and then maybe we can get some different policies.

Speaker 5 (48:06):
He says that while Trump will face his challenges, he
should be able to get most of his goals accomplished.
There are growing concerns that President Biden will pardon his
son Hunter on federal gun charges and tax evasion charges.
One of those cases is scheduled to be sentenced this month.
Former House Speaker Mike McCarthy says this was always Joe's plan,

(48:29):
even when he said he wouldn't do it.

Speaker 37 (48:31):
A lot of pardons happened in the last days, but
I don't think I think in his entire mind.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
He was always going to pardon Hunter by the way.

Speaker 5 (48:37):
The President did pardon the two White House turkeys yesterday
six oh five now on KTRH, no issues as of
yet at the airports. Today is Thanksgiving travel ramps up,
but there are potential obstacles, including a strike by airport
workers in Charlotte that could affect travel in the entire South.

Speaker 20 (48:57):
We're really trying to make sure we have a living
wage here because the way that things are right now,
we deserve a lot better than what we're being given.

Speaker 5 (49:05):
And then there's what's in the forecast later this week
on Thanksgiving Day, specifically a winter storm that could make
things messy in the Northeast, and just in time for
your holiday cooking, another round of bird flue causing an
egg shortage at grocery stores across the country. Gary Huddleson
with the Texas Retailers Association says, luckily Texas didn't get

(49:27):
hit by this latest round and is fully recovered from
the outbreak this spring.

Speaker 16 (49:32):
I think there'll be some normal price fluctuations just because
of demand of this time of the year for holiday baking,
but nothing significant.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
Except for the sticker shock because the average price for
a dozen eggs has gone up by thirty percent from
last year to three dollars and thirty seven cents. Overnight
trading is flat across all indices this morning on Wall
Street after the Dow closed at a record high yesterday,
and twenty four hour a day stock trading is here.

(50:03):
And while it's a tremendous convenience for the small time trader,
it may or may not be right for you.

Speaker 32 (50:10):
Well.

Speaker 22 (50:10):
The number of overnight stocks you can trade is limited
for now to the biggest companies, and according to certified
financial planner Bill Dendy CPA, in the overnight hours, you
might not get your preferred stock price selling or buying
because there are fewer people trading in the.

Speaker 18 (50:26):
Markets, so it depends on the stock now.

Speaker 17 (50:28):
So far they are allowing the twenty four hour trading
with more popular, larger companies, so the spreads have not
expanded to as great of a degree, but that's one
of the challenges when doing overnight or twenty four hour trading.

Speaker 22 (50:41):
Still, the relevance of twenty four hour trading will show
the next time there's a big event in the middle
of the night. Michael Shilohan use Radio seven forty KTRA.

I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor.
What happens next Thomises may happens here, promises kept us
Radio seven kt RH.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
All right, today is seven minutes after the hour, six o'clock.
Good morning to you. Appreciate you being with us this
morning to getting ready for Thanksgiving Day, and I want
you to make sure that you visit us online at
strictly speaking dot org us meaning me, Bob frand sitting
in for Jimmy this morning, Thanks so much. Website is
strictly speaking dot org. I just posted a video this
morning on the website and maybe you've seen it flying around.

(51:48):
It's kind of going viral, and I can't play the
audio for it because I think there are some there
are some language there, but you're gonna want to check
it out. Is anybody watching the new dramatic TV series
Landman starring Billy Bob Thornton. It is bookmarked for me
on my TV with my wife. We were still, you know,

(52:09):
doing the Yellowstone thing and a couple of other series,
but this one just looks phenomenal and Billy Bob Thornton
stars as an oil I don't want to call them
an oil tycoon. He's an oil man. I don't know
the exact plot. It just looks phenomenal in terms of
the trailers and previews and so forth. But we haven't
started the series yet. But there is a viral video
that is flying around right now and I posted it

(52:30):
again at Strictly speaking dot org. If you get a
chance to visit of Billy Bob Thornton's character standing beneath
a wind you know windmill, you know for the for
the electricity powering windmills, in the middle of the wind farm,
and and he's talking to a climate alarmist who is

(52:51):
freaking out, can't stand oil, can't stand you know, fossil fuels,
saying it's going to kill the planet and blah blah blah,
and Billy Bob Thornton's character in this movie does it's
like life imitating I'm sorry, art imitating life. The other
way around, it's art imitating life because he tells the
truth about oil, about all of the oil and all

(53:12):
of the petroleum byproducts and everything else needed to run
that windmill and to build it and to you know,
to to mount it, and and so on and so forth,
but basically underscoring the reality that this alternative energy by
way of solar or wind power is the most ridiculous

(53:35):
fantasy that anybody has ever come up with. And they've
done it for a reason, you know, to multiple reasons,
largely power and money, and they're trying to fool people
into thinking that and using climate change and the ridiculous
we're all going to die in order to get more
powerful and to get more money. And it is an
extraordinary watch. It's just a couple of minutes long. But

(53:55):
like I said, I don't know if I can play
the whole thing here because of the of the language issue,
but you should check it out. It's it's strictly speaking
dot org right now. I think you will be impressed,
and I think you like it, and I think you'll
probably want to watch that movie. If you're not already
doing it, I'm sorry, that dramatic series. It's not a movie,
all right.

Speaker 4 (54:11):
Ten minutes after the hour, let's check that morning drive
once again. Scott Mike always busy. Let's go to the
golf freeway side. And one of the pretty ladies on
TV's like what Sky Mike was going on online forty
five the golf freeway north bend at Broadway, cause you
know what.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
They talk like that.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
I see the scooch. I don't have the laneage. Is
it a wreck, is it a stall? Whatever? It is
usual golf freeway suckings now from waffle house from airport
and give me the six to twenty report, and I'll
have you some laneage here South Louke, by the way,
if you're just joining us. After a couple of days westbound,
they finally finished that roadwork at Scott Street going into

(54:46):
two eighty eight, so now we have three lanes of
fun going that way. And the northwest side it's Mike
from Magnolia.

Speaker 35 (54:53):
Hey, sam Ike, nineound from ninety nine to the west
Belt wide open.

Speaker 25 (54:57):
In fact, it looks like there's more cars at.

Speaker 32 (54:59):
Not a then into town this morning.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
Yeah, going over the hills toward Brendham to Grandma's house,
and of course she looks off two ninety. She's got
Colatchi's tip bline seven one three two two tips. I'm
Skymike on the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Hi, thank you very much, Sky Mike. Let's check that
forecast now. Jeff Eno at the Weather Channel has it
for us high Jeff.

Speaker 36 (55:20):
Hey, we've got it here. Mostly sunny skies today, Bob.
We'll get up to around seventy degrees right on the
money for tonight, partly cloudie, overnight low, a little warm,
and that is going to be the case once we
get into Wednesday. We'll fall back tonight into the upper fifties,
about ten degrees on the high side, and we're looking
at well about fifteen degrees above average for Wednesday. Could

(55:40):
see another record setter. We did break a record on
Monday as we get up to or we got up
to eighty six for that high mostly sunny Wednesday, and
we top out around eighty five, and then that's going
to be it. Once that frontal system clears, we usher
in some of the cooler, dryer air, mostly Claudie. Thanksgiving Day,
with a high in the mid sixties, and we fall
back to the low sixties for the high on Saturday,

(56:02):
and we look good through the weekend. May see a
straight hour on Saturday. All right, thank you very much,
good sir, and we're looking at fifty degrees. We dropped
three just in the last hour. Fifty degrees.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Now to your official severe weather Station's radio seven forty
ktrh USE traffic and weather.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
You're starting your day right with Houston's Morning News, brought
to you Biden New South Windows solutions.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
All right, we continue now at eighteen minutes past the hour,
Pop France sitting in for Jimmy Barrett coming up in
just a few After we check traffic and weather again,
we're going to get into what the Biden administration is
doing to make things much more difficult for President Trump
before he takes office. Famously, Joe Biden sat down with
President Trump incoming President Trump in the Oval office just

(56:47):
a week and a half ago and promised him a
smooth transition. And what does that mean. Does that mean
he's not going to stage some sort of revolution or
does it mean something else? Because it doesn't seem very smooth.
President Trump is going to be inheriting an absolute mess
from the border disaster created by the borders are he's
now vanquished political opponent Kamala Harrison, that's Joe Biden's vice president.

(57:10):
He's inheriting that mess that was intentional, and they're going
to try to make it worse. They're loosening immigration policies.
More and more illegals are being brought here, more and
more being allowed, if not encouraged, to come, and there's
a massive caravan that President Trump talked about as well.
That's one of the reasons why he said he is
going to impose twenty five percent tariffs on goods coming
in from Canada and Mexico because they're not doing their

(57:34):
job on their side of the border to stop this
massive invasion. But it is truly Joe Biden that is
encouraging this. According to multiple reports, he is going to
make sure that there are more illegals and more drugs,
and more traffickers and more cartel members and everything else
in this country. It would appear before President Trump takes over,
so that it will hamper his efforts to make things better,

(57:55):
which would then, of course point to twenty twenty eight.
As see look, Trump couldn't fix it either, at least
that's the thinking by some. We're going to talk about
it with Lower Reese, director of Border Security and Immigration Center,
or at the Border Security and Immigration Center with the
Heritage Foundation coming up here.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
But first let's do that trafficking whether now that means
Sky Mike, I told you there was a wreck on
the Golf Freeway northbound. iHeartRadio listeners the first to know
about this problem. Again, this is one, two three, Well, Matt,
you do it, Texas City, Mike.

Speaker 16 (58:25):
Look like right there at six ten and three of
the middle lanes.

Speaker 33 (58:28):
Or all the right lane, they're only letting one or
two of the left lanes get by.

Speaker 4 (58:33):
It looks like they've actually shifted it the other way. Now,
so here come the ninjas. You got the backups. That'll
be Edgebrooks shortly and we'll get you updated laneage at
the six thirty. Great job, Bananas tickers all around. I'm
Skymike at the Generator Supercenter, dot Com Traffic Center.

a lot going on used Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
Okay, let's welcome Laura Reese, as mentioned from the Heritage
Centers Border Security and Immigration Center, to talk a little
bit about what Joe Biden is trying to do to
President Trump. On the way in, Laura, thanks for the
time this morning. Why do you suppose it is that
Joe Biden isn't exiting gracefully and it appears as though
he's trying to make things worse than they are now,
So the incoming president has a bigger headache.

Speaker 35 (01:00:09):
Well, the Biden Harris administration throughout the presidency has been
intent on mass migration two and throughout the US, and
they're parting tactics that are no different the lines about
securing the border as they led up to the election

(01:00:30):
have stopped this course because they lost, and so now
they don't have to pretend anymore. And so we do
see the caravans resuming in Mexico. Keep in mind, when
the numbers hit the all time high at the border
last December, SECRETARYS. Blincoln and majorcis of the State Department

(01:00:50):
and Homeland Security went down to Mexico and cut some
sort of deal which they were not at all willing
to discuss, where it appears that Mexico agreed to flow
down the flow through Mexico hold many migrants in southern
Mexico to make the numbers look lower leading into the election. Well,

(01:01:12):
Mexico doesn't mean to do that anymore. So now we're
seeing the caravans.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
Again.

Speaker 35 (01:01:16):
The other tactic that's being reported is ICE loosening the
requirement to check in with ICE if you're in what's
called an alternatives to detention program. The left of Whores
and Immigration Detention feels no one should be detained in
immigration and so they have abused a what can be

(01:01:40):
a useful program called Alternatives to Detention, which normally uses
various tactics for people to check in. It could be
an ACO monitor, it could be you have to physically
go into an ICE office each month. It could be
you have to dial in and do a biometric check
with your faith, your picture, your voice. And this administration

(01:02:03):
is loosening the requirements. You just need to phone it
in and they're not going to do a biometric check,
they're not going to do a criminal check to see
if you've got new warrants outstanding, and so people could
be anywhere in the US and this is very pro forma.
The app is also very glitchy. It's not working well,

(01:02:25):
so it's not been a good use of resources to
create it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
Yeah, well, the idea that they created it in the
first place, you know, from a principal standpoint, is horrific.
The fact that it doesn't even work very well is
just another example of how poor the Biden administration has
been at developing anything that is sensible and workable on
the Southern borter. What is President Trump's response to all
of this. I've heard him talking about a lot of
plans and a lot of things. And Tom Homan, of course,

(01:02:48):
is working very very hearties in Texas today is going
to be visiting Eagle Pass. But what about President Trump?
I mean, because again it seems as though they're just
trying to stack more obstacles in front of him as
he comes in.

Speaker 40 (01:03:01):
Yes, I mean, I.

Speaker 35 (01:03:02):
Think that's one of the reasons why Tom home has
been out there so much talking about this and basically
warning illegal aliens you'd be better off if you're self
deported now, because they will be looking for them. They
They're going to start with the worst of the worst.
They'll start with the national security for uts this administration
let into the country.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
They will go on to.

Speaker 35 (01:03:26):
The aggravated spellins, convicted cellains, rapeist, murderers, gang members, you know,
the worst criminals. And we'll also carry out the removals
for those aliens who already have a final order of
removal from a judge, but who have absconded and didn't
leave the country. So I mean it's it's this isn't

(01:03:49):
going to be super quick because the Biden administration let
millions of people into the country, But self deportation is
also a real appet if you aren't able to work here,
if you aren't able to spend money home, if you
just don't feel like the consequences are you know, if

(01:04:13):
you do feel like you might be caught and be deported,
then people will go elsewhere or not come at all. Right,
So applying consequences, actually enforcing the law does send a
message that the risk is higher and behavior changes.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Laura Resa, director of Board of Security and Immigration Center
at the Heritage Foundation, laying it out for us as
the Biden administration stacks these obstacles in front of President
Trump on the way in only making things more difficult
for Americans. Laura, thanks so much for the time. We
appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (01:04:44):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
All Right, it is now seven twenty six. We're going
to take a look at the markets and see what
is in store for us today. A Bloomberg Business report.
Here's Denise Pilgrim.

Speaker 23 (01:04:52):
Hey, there, Well, one thing people are watching are the airlines.
You talked about that American Airlines plane clipping the wing
of that part Frontier Holdings plane at Boston Logan yesterday.
Well late last night, Bob, there was another incident. A
vehicle towing a Jet Blue plane hit a Cape airplane
also at Logan Airport that's been looking at by safety

(01:05:14):
officials are looking at the very closely. As you can imagine,
Target is apparently desperate for more cult hits beyond those
twenty five dollars leggings that are getting so much attention.
Talking about those cheap, chic all in motion brand pens.
They've amassed a huge cult following online for Target since
their debut last fall, and that's helping Target's at leisure

(01:05:35):
business grow by double digits for the last two quarters.
So why am I talking about this so much? They
haven't been able to jumpstart overall revenue in spite of
that big hits. What next big hit they can possibly find?
And they are also cutting prices on thousands of items
to get some attention and compete with other retailers like
Walmart and Old Navy Best Buy shares. They're under pressure

(01:05:58):
this morning third quarter earning missed. Coles also sees comparative
sales falling way more than expected. That's hurting nut stuck

A results of continued violent crime. More Republican women are
arming themselves and the Left won't like this, but EV
prices are out of control and they're not coming down
anytime soon. Good morning, Bob Frans and for Jimmy Barrett.
Cliff Saunders has the details on those stories and more
coming up. But first we'll do traffic and weather Sky Mike.

Speaker 4 (01:06:53):
Cool I told you all right, go freeway just like
that toe trex ninja that accident. Everybody was fine. They
finished pointing at days and now here we go back
toward full speeds again. We're still back from airport now inbound,
but I would stay the course on the Golf Freeway
for now. Let's check out your southwest side at the

Forecast for the week is interesting, normal temperatures today, really

by the way, but Jeff will be by at seven

(01:07:35):
the morning news, here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 5 (01:07:36):
Thank you very much, Bob. It is six thirty two
on KTRH. Ower chop story this hour, more bail reform
failure here in Houston and Harris County. The man charge
in a deadly road raid shooting near a leave earlier
this month is in court today for another bond hearing.
Carlos Shavez was out on bond for another road raid

(01:07:57):
shooting at the time of the November seventh case. She'll
remember this one was with a baby in the back seat.
A result of all the crime problems, Republican women are
more likely than Democrat men to be gun owners. Republican
women are realizing that a firearm might be the key
to their safety.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
It's the great equalizer.

Speaker 25 (01:08:16):
So if there's somebody that's bigger and stronger than you,
there's not much that you can do in a fighting
scenario unless you have a firearm for self defense.

Speaker 7 (01:08:23):
Texas Gun Rights President Chris McNutt told KTRH he hopes
that this trend does not slow down anytime soon.

Speaker 25 (01:08:28):
That's one of our priorities to get more women involved
in the fight and get them trained up and prepared
to be able to take their own self defense in
their hands.

Speaker 7 (01:08:37):
According to a new Gallup poll, the number of Republican
women gun owners has risen fifty percent since twenty eighteen.

On six point thirty three, President elect Donald Trump makes
you out another move to secure the border, promising day
one tariffs on both Mexico and Canada if they don't
help keep illegals out of this country.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
The Mexican government knows that Donald Trump's not playing around.
He wants this border secured.

Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
Florida Congressman Byron Donald's tariffs and a new borders are,
though may not be enough to get the job done.

Speaker 27 (01:09:11):
In my opinion, we don't have enough ice agents, we
don't have enough border patrol agents. We need as much
manpower as we can get right now, because it's all
hands on deck.

Speaker 5 (01:09:19):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott with KTRHS Sean Hannity last night.
The governor hosts the incoming borders are Tom Holman and
Eagle Pass at noon. We'll have more on that at

a second impeachment for GHS Secretary Alejandro majorcis I Yorcus

(01:09:40):
was impeached in February by the House. It never went
to trial in the Democrat led Senate. In the Middle East,
the Israeli cabinet reportedly votes today on whether or not
to approve a ceasefire with hes Bellah.

Speaker 40 (01:09:54):
This would be wonderful if it holds, but the problem
is that Hesbala and and it's Iranian backed proxies like
Hamas and the Hoodies that never kept an agreement.

Speaker 5 (01:10:07):
That's my cuckabee. The incoming US ambassador to Israel. According
to reports, the White House is putting pressure on the
Israelis to take the deal.

Today could be the busiest day of the Thanksgiving travel week,
with an airport worker striking Charlotte possibly impacting things. TSA
administrator David Pikowski says, they're trying to stay out in
front of this.

Speaker 29 (01:10:32):
We work really closely with the airports and with the
air carriers to make sure that we're all coordinated to
be able to handle any unexpected things that happened during
the course of a given day. And so we'll just
monitor how this strike action continues in staff and adjust accordingly.

Speaker 5 (01:10:46):
So far, so good at both Bush and Hobby airports.
According to flight aware, the popular travel site, if you're driving,
gasoline prices tick up across Houston this morning to two
sixty one a gallon the state mine average city it
to sixty three. And do you remember all of that
talk about how electric car prices would eventually come down. Yeah,

(01:11:09):
it's just a pipe dream.

Speaker 21 (01:11:11):
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently said having a twenty five
thousand dollars ev model is pointless and silly. As the
average cost of an EV remains around sixty thousand, Automotive
expert Mike catt ltell's Fox the EV market has not
expanded past the early adopters.

Speaker 30 (01:11:26):
They didn't care about what the prices were of. They
just wanted their test life. The problem is those early adopters,
they already have their electric vehicles, and now you are
moving into mainstream America. They don't understand range. They don't
want to understand range. They just like a good deal
on a vehicle.

Speaker 21 (01:11:41):
The CEO of another car company just told a podcast
that the EV market quote sucks. Cory Jolson News Radio
seven forty KTRH it's.

Speaker 10 (01:11:49):
Now six thirty six.

Speaker 18 (01:11:51):
Well.

Speaker 5 (01:11:51):
The city of Houston, of course, is known for many things,
including its outstanding healthcare, but twenty rural hospitals have closed
across Texas over the last twenty years. Kim Roberts with
The Texan tells ktier H it's all about the rising
cost of healthcare.

Speaker 32 (01:12:07):
Rural areas are just struggling to maintain hospitals for both
financial and recruiting reasons. A lot of them are operating
at a negative budget, and so it's very difficult to
stay afloat that way.

Speaker 5 (01:12:19):
While the state is working to address this, some residents
now have a forty minute drive to the nearest healthcare facility.
A warning about agriculture in the Rio Grande Valley, it
might disappear if Mexico doesn't hold up its end of
the bargain with the water they owe Texas under the
nineteen forty four treaty.

Speaker 10 (01:12:39):
That bold statement is coming.

Speaker 5 (01:12:41):
From Texas Farm Bureau spokesman Gary Joyner told us he's
ready for President elect Trump to be bold in getting
that country to live up to the deal.

Speaker 33 (01:12:51):
This is not a new situation for the current administration
or even the past three or four administrations. They've all
been dealing with this nineteen forty four water treaty.

Speaker 5 (01:13:00):
He also says that a couple of recent agreements are
sending some water to the valley, but federal and state
agencies need to get moving to procure and distribute resources
to farmers immediately. Six thirty seven, this year's hurricane season

Have we not been in this?

Speaker 34 (01:13:30):
And so here we are. We do plenty of planning
here in Montgomery County. We are planning all the time
with scenarios, and I believe that you're going to see
that taking place with our energy companies as well.

I live in Katie.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
You're reliable forecast. But next on the ten on seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
All right, good morning once again, it is six thirty eight.
You know, I saw the story yesterday. I didn't talk
about it yesterday because I wasn't quite sure how to
bring it up. It's just one of those bizarre ones
that you just kind of have to, I guess, grab
and say, okay, here it is. If you are planning.
I was going to make a joke about Thanksgiving dinner
and putting on a little weight over the holidays, as

(01:14:31):
people do, just trying to find a way to address this.
But I but I guess I just don't know that
I necessarily can. The University of Marylynd is offering a
class on fat studies. Did you hear about this? Fat
studies and not just fat studies studying fatness. This is
unbelievable that this is a class, but it is. It's

(01:14:52):
also about blackness and how fatness and blackness intersect. I'm
trying to find the educational value in this if there
is any. I just I don't know that I necessarily
can understand it. But maybe I don't know. But an
upcoming class at the University of Maryland ask students to
examine how fatness relates to blackness as a social justice issue.

(01:15:14):
Intro to fat studies, Fatness, Blackness and their intersections is
being offered as a general education course to students for
the spring semester. The three credit course can be taken
to fulfill the university's distributive Studies or Diversity course requirements
to graduate. Now I'm going to pause this and come
back on the other side and talk a little bit

(01:15:34):
more about this, But I'll just say this, if you
ever needed an example in the discussion or the debate
about the true value or lack thereof, of college educations anymore.
I think we may have stumbled across it right now.
This is an argument that you can use. They are
well not making. They're making as a requirement to graduate

(01:15:58):
students take courses like this in distributive studies and diversity studies,
so automatically forcing you to pay big dollars to take
those courses that are going to do absolutely nothing for
your life. That's an example of how college can be
a scam. Now, not for all, but for many, and

(01:16:18):
in fact for most. But this particular course is more
interesting because again of the subject matter fatness and blackness
and their intersections. So we'll pick this up on the
other side. We'll take a we'll check you with skymke
care on trafficking weather. But we've got a lot more
on this, trust me, and it's going to be very
interesting to discuss. Katr Rachel listeners the first to know.

Speaker 4 (01:16:39):
Sorry, Bob, I thought you were throwing it to me.
You got to both ktr rach listeners the first to
know what's going down on the North Freeway. I've got
something skipping up right on the North Freeway. Parker inbound.
Give me ten minutes and I'll get you some laneage.

Speaker 25 (01:16:52):
Here.

Speaker 4 (01:16:52):
It's got your North Freeway backed up all the way
from Canino Road at trailer Wheel and Frame. Looks like
about a six minute draghead. And on this way Golf Freeway.
We cleared that wreck at the South Loop. We have
that one every day. That's backed up still from waffle
House Airport. You lose about three or four minutes here.
And by the way, those of you that played the
home game bybe I sent you a link too if
you played the home game with me the Transtar site,

(01:17:14):
it's on camera one one twelve. Look at that sunrise
and that pretty downtown. We're smashed up east text from
quipment down to the Big George. You lose three or
four I'm Skymike on the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
All right, thanks very much. Make Jeff Eno at the
Weather Channel has our forecast strange as it may be
a little low. Which of these things is not like
the other. Let's look at tomorrow and look at the
rest of the.

Speaker 36 (01:17:36):
Week, Jefe absolutely, And then looking at yesterday where we
hit eighty six. That's a brand new record. We could
do it again tomorrow. Today we're in the pocket where
we'll get up to around seventy mostly sunny sky. It's
a pretty nice day here for us on this Tuesday
tonight Bartley, cloudy, the overnight low where we are supposed
to be upper forties, where we will fall back to

(01:17:57):
the upper fifties. And then for Wednesday, here we go ahead,
this frontal system going to warm it up again eighty
five for the high record eighty four set back in
eighty nine, will be right around that mark, in the
mid eighties, mostly sunny. And then for our Thanksgiving Day,
well we fall back down to the mid sixties for
that high, mostly cloudy. Beautiful Friday, mostly sunny, low sixties,

(01:18:17):
and we will keep temperatures in the low to mid
sixties all the way through the weekend. Saturday may see
a stray hour for the afternoon. Well, here's here for records.
Let's see fifty degrees right now at your official severe
weather station, there's radio seven forty KTIH.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
You are commute, you are forecast.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Your news is Houston's morning News brought to you, buying
you southway.

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
Those solutions, Okay, six forty seven has promised. Now I
want to kind of finish up on this story and
just try to make some sense of it again, the
college aspect of it. And notwithstanding, if you want to
go to college, go to college. And it certainly is
beneficial for a lot of people, but for a lot
of others, you just kind of wonder, why are they
making me pay for this? Intro to fat Studies, Fatness,
Blackness and their Intersection being offered is a general education

(01:19:00):
course at the University of Maryland has a lot of tongues.
Wagon three. Our course fulfills their distributive studies or diversity
course requirements to graduate. The course description says it examines
fatness as an area of human difference subject to privilege
and discrimination that intersects with other systems of oppression based

(01:19:21):
on gender, race, class, sexual orientation, and ability. The description continues,
though we will look at fatness as intersectional, this course
will particularly highlight the relationship between fatness and blackness. We
approach this area of study through an interdisciplinary humanities and
social science lens, which emphasizes fatness as a social justice issue.

(01:19:43):
The course closes with an examination of fat liberation as
liberation for all bodies, with a particular emphasis on performing
arts and activism as a vehicle for liberation and challenging
fat mesia. That's a word, fat mesia. I did not
know this. Courses being taught by Sidney Lewis, a senior

(01:20:07):
lecturer at the university's Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender
and Sexuality Studies. In another in related news, there's a
department of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. All twenty spots
for the course are reportedly filled, with eight students on
the wait list. The course has drawn criticism from at

(01:20:27):
least one retired professor at a nearby university. Richard Vattz,
Professor emeris at Emeritus at the Towson State Universe at
Towson University, rather mocked the idea that this would prepare
students for the real world. Quote, I don't think if
you went into a job interview and the interviewer said
what have you taken recently and you said, I'm taking
a course in fat studies, but the intersection of blackness

(01:20:49):
and fatness, that this would put you in a position
to get much of a job. So the utility of
this and the job market is probably pretty questionably, said,
I have to be honest with you, this is kind
of appable, a lappable subject. This stuff is just ludicrous.
I'm going to agree with that particular professor here, and
I'm going to say this though, I at least learned
something new today. Who knew that being fat was a

(01:21:14):
symptom of oppression and not just the fact that you
couldn't put down the box of Twinkies and you couldn't
push away from the table just a little bit earlier
before that third course? Who knew that your fatness was
a result of oppression? Now you know six fifty traffic
and weather.

Speaker 4 (01:21:32):
Let's do with the degree used to be underwater basket weaving,
and now it's gender studies and all that stuff. I'm
fat studies, Yeah, fad studies. Let's do Nord Freeway I
forty five, Bob. While you were talking to us, the
tow trucks ninja. That wreck on the North Freeway. We
had a left lane booth out of there quickly. They're
in a hurry this morning. You've got a squish now

(01:21:53):
from Golf Bank down stay the course on the North Freeway.
It's not bad Golf freeway. Stay the course there too.
We had the wreck at the South Loop six ten
minor stuff. Everybody's okay, let's go with the Katie. What
are you doing now, Katie? Freeway guestner inbound manage lane.
Got a minor wreck there. That one's not really squishing
up the main lanes, and airport's about to become a thing.
I'll see if Uber Michael check in with us at

(01:22:15):
the seven to ten Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot
Com traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
All right, thank you very much. Partly Cotti's guys today
tempers you're going to be around seventy clear tonight down
to the mid fifties. Wednesday, you heard Jeff talk about
it could be pushing up on a record calling for
a high round eighty forty five. The record is eighty four.
Record was set yesterday and then it normals out back
to in the low sixties on Thanksgiving Thursday, staying in

(01:22:41):
the low to mid sixties for Black Friday shopping and
through the long weekend to come. Right now, I'm counting
fifty degrees at your official severe weather station is Radio

We all avoid it, but you'll better understand the world
around you if you check in with US News Radio
seven k t RH.

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Demure. That's what we're going with. That's that's the word
of the year. Demure. Okay, interesting at least it's a word.
What I don't like is I I'm gonna I'm gonna
do a little I'm doing a little pet peeve here
moment for a moment. In previous years, the word of
the year is you know. Is determined by Dictionary dot
com or or whomever. Oftentimes, there are new words that

(01:24:02):
are made up just in like social media lexicon. People
will make things up and even though they are not
proper grammar and see it's the English teacher and me
in another life. Before I started radio twenty seven years ago,
I was an English teacher for a number of years.
And the grammar aspect of things than the incorrect grammar
is a real pet peeve of mine, which is why
I'm gonna really go off on this one here before

(01:24:23):
we do timeline. I'm tired of the use of nouns
as verbs. Let me tell you, tell me if you
understand what I'm talking about here. Every commer, not every
a lot of commercials and you hear people starting to
talk about this too. You know, there'll be a commercial
on there about the holidays, and they'll say, you know,

(01:24:44):
and this is how we holiday. Holiday is not a verb.
It's like I don't like to people. I don't feel
like peopling today. That's another one of these people is
a noun. It is a plural noun referring to multiple individuals.
It is not a verb. When you hear or see
commercials or promotions of things like, you know, oh, on

(01:25:08):
NFL games, you say, that's how you Sunday. No, you
don't Sunday. Sunday isn't a thing. Sunday isn't an action.
Sunday is not a verb. Sunday is it? Is it noun?

Speaker 9 (01:25:16):
Is it day?

Speaker 3 (01:25:17):
It is the name of a day of the week.
It's just one of those pet PV type things. Again
the grammarian in me. It's one of the reasons, truthfully
why I am as opposed to the pronoun game as
I am the common sense aspect of it. Notwithstanding you're
a person, you're not multiple people, so you can't be

(01:25:39):
a they or them. And if you're saying, yeah, but
I don't identify as a male or a female, so
you know, you just call me they or them. I
don't want to get into the nonsense of the science
of it all. Because there are two sexes, there are
two genders, and and that's it, period. No other options
are available. That's the way that it is. But from
them in me, I can't do plurals when there are singulars.

(01:26:04):
It's just one of those things. So yeah, keep your
peopling and your holidaying and your sundaying and all of
the other things to yourself, because no, that just doesn't
work for those of us who take language very very seriously.
All right, six fifty five, it's time for timeline. What

News radio seven forty k TRH, and now the morning news.

Speaker 5 (01:29:20):
Here's Cliff, Thank you, Bob. It's seven o two on KTRH.
Our top story.

Speaker 18 (01:29:25):
We sent a strong mess of the rest of the world.

Speaker 6 (01:29:27):
If you cross this border legally, you're gonna be deported,
You're gonna be detained, You're not gonna be released.

Speaker 5 (01:29:32):
That is the incoming borders. Our Tom Homan on Fox
and Friends this morning. Homan is in Texas today to
see the border disaster for himself. This is a sign
that Texas officials will finally get some much needed help soon.

Speaker 8 (01:29:44):
They've been working for four years to share the border themselves,
but they've made some progress certainly, so I think you'll
see Trump and Texas officials work very very closely together.

Speaker 7 (01:29:52):
Political consultant Matt Mkobac told KTRH Homan might be able
to learn a few things from Texas.

Speaker 8 (01:29:58):
What the Skate Texas has done is unprecedented, doing what
they've done in the Rio Grand River with the river
Buoy's taking over an Areaego pass that was being used
as a way to traffic people.

Speaker 7 (01:30:06):
Mkoyak says, thanks to all this advanced planning from the administration,
you can expect to see big Day one results. Ethan
buchinnan News Radio seven forty KTRH that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:15):
Visit, by the way takes place at noon and it
comes as nearly seventy five percent of adults told CBS
and Yugov they are in favor of Donald Trump's planned
mass deportations, with fifty percent or just about calling it
a quote high priority. However, the current Biden administration won't
make things easy for Trump, and Home and Border Security

(01:30:37):
expert Laura Reese told KTRH that the White House is
allowing illegal aliens to skip their check ins with ICE
by permitting them to use a new app.

Speaker 9 (01:30:48):
What they're trying to do on their way out the
door is create the so called ICE app that is
having an alien check in, but it doesn't check their
GPS their location. It's really a bit of a joke,
laughing and acting sases.

Speaker 5 (01:31:02):
The real goal is to make it easier for legals
to avoid deportation once Trump returns to office. But the
President elect may have a plan to fight back Day
one tariffs to the tune of twenty five percent on
imports from Mexico, China, and Canada. On social media, Trump
said Mexico and Canada have the quote power to solve

(01:31:24):
this long simmering problem. It's now seven oh four. The
January sixth election interference case against the President elect is
officially dropped by a federal judge at the request of
Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Speaker 11 (01:31:38):
What we saw in Florida, now in Washington, DC, and
in New York is the vindication that Don Trump did
nothing wrong and that he was only prosecuted because in
like his political stance.

Speaker 5 (01:31:49):
Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski on Newsmax. By the Way, Smith
also filed a motion to drop his appeal in the
classified documents case against Trump in Florida that had been
dismissed by federal Judge Alan Cannon. So with the law
fair out of the way and with a Republican Congress,
the question is whether or not Trump can accomplish all

(01:32:11):
of his goals in the second term.

Speaker 12 (01:32:13):
Some areas are ripe for swift action, one of them
being his biggest platform.

Speaker 13 (01:32:18):
The immigration thing is going to be something he can
push very quickly. That's solely the purview of the federal government,
and it's really all under the statutory power of the executive.

Speaker 12 (01:32:27):
Bonchie of the Red States says a thin House majority
adds a challenge to Trump achieving all of his goals.
But some things like lowering prices are really up to
faith because you're talking about deflation at that point. That
would usually only happen when you have serious economic crisis.
He says, Trump can't stabilize things, but that starts with
fixing mortgage rates. Andre Perard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 10 (01:32:49):
It's now seven h five.

Speaker 5 (01:32:50):
The Thanksgiving travel rush really ramps up today and even
though things have been smooth so far, they could get
bumpy later in the week.

Speaker 14 (01:33:00):
Anyone traveling in the Southeast could face delays as airport
service workers have gone on strike in Charlotte, a hub
for American airlines. Weather may also cause major travel headaches.
A Thanksgiving Day storm could bring heavy snow to parts
of New York, New Hampshire, and May.

Speaker 5 (01:33:17):
That is Fox's Steve Harrikan and something that you may
not have known. According to TSA officials right here in Houston,
every day they see passengers showing up at the wrong airport,
So check your tickets. Seven oh six now on KTRH.
For those of you hosting in cooking this Thanksgiving, we
are smack in the middle of a nationwide egg shortage.

Speaker 15 (01:33:40):
Customers are feeling the hurt in their wallets from Maine
to Mississippi, but not so much here in the Lone
Star State.

Speaker 16 (01:33:46):
Here in Texas, As I checked with our major grocery retailers,
really have sufficient product of eggs going into the holiday.

Speaker 15 (01:33:54):
Gary Huddleston with the Texas Retailers Association says that there
have been recent cases of bird flu that have acted
some egg producers and that could cause shortages in other
parts of the country. He says, other than normal fluctuations
due to higher demand, we shouldn't see any major egg
price increases this season. Eric Sharp News Radio seven forty KTI.

Speaker 5 (01:34:13):
But you are already paying three point thirty seven for
a dozen eggs, thirty percent more than you paid last year.
After closing at a record high yesterday, down futures are
off by forty five points in overnight trading, and in
case you didn't already realize it, trading stocks is now
a twenty four to seven thing. Robinhood has offered the
service for a year. Charles Schwab is about to offer

(01:34:35):
it Certified financial planner Bill Dendee calls it remarkable.

Speaker 17 (01:34:39):
Just like we want to go get our milk at
seven am to eleven pm, and now we want twenty
four hour places go get our milk. We just want
our stocks and anytime we want.

Speaker 5 (01:34:47):
Dandy does one of a downside, though, the number of
overnight traders is relatively small, so you might not get
your preferred price. Houston Texans defensive back Jalen Pitray is
out indefinite thanks to a partially torn pectoral muscle. The

You like free stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
We all like free stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:35:21):
Guess on our iHeartRadio app is free and free never
sounded so good?

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
All right, good morning once again, seven minutes after eight o'clock.
Thanks for being with us, Bob frand sitting in for Jimmy.
You can find me online. It's strictly speaking dot org
and follow me and all of my social media endeavors
on that page strictly speaking dot org. You can also
contact me by way of that page. Send me an email.
I just had a couple of very very nice listeners

(01:35:49):
send me messages about some of the stories that we're
talking about here, the ones that are worth reading on
the air. If you don't mind, I will indeed do
that as well. So I certainly welcome you to engage
in that in the matter, how much of a priority
should it be. Tom Homan is in Texas today, He's
going to be Eagle Pass, going to be there with
the governor, and they're going to kind of examine the

(01:36:12):
mess that was created by the Biden Harris Harris Biden
administration firsthand. How much of a priority should it be
to deport individuals rather than just seal the border so
not more of them can come in? Well, according to
a new survey a CBS News poll, really really important,
the priority is high a near consensus seventy three percent

(01:36:32):
of adults. This according to a Breitbart story on the
CBS poll, three in four Americans say President Trump should
prioritize the deportation or repatriation of illegal migrants. Again, this
says CBS newspoll conducted by you Gov. Forty five percent
say repatriations should be a high priority, twenty eight percent

(01:36:53):
say at least a medium priority. Post election poll of
two two hundred and thirty two adults, just one in
five four or twenty seven percent said repatriations are not
a priority. The survey also showed that fifty seven percent
of Americans want Trump to start a national program to
find and deport all illegals who are in the United

(01:37:15):
States right now. The CBS poll closely matches a post
election Rasmussen poll of twelve hundred and seventy six likely voters.
Breit Bart News reported on November fourteenth on that one
when asked how important is it to stop illegal immigration,
seventy six percent said very or somewhat, fifty percent said very,

(01:37:37):
twenty six percent said somewhat, Only twenty two percent said
it was not important. So stopping illegal immigration at the
border and deporting or repatriating those who are already here
both high priorities to the American people, according to these surveys.
If the Left is wondering what happened on November fifth,
this is what happened on November fifth. This is why

(01:37:58):
Hispanics turned out so big for Donald Trump, because Hispanics
no legality, particularly those who are in this country and
in places like Houston, legally, they had to wait their
turn to come to this country, either as visitors or
eventually becoming residents and citizens. And they hate the fact
that so many others have just jumped the line. And then,

(01:38:19):
of course there's the issue of the number of criminal
illegal aliens who are here to do harm to citizens.
So yeah, that's what happened. The American people think this
is a top priority. It's good that Tom Holman is
going to be in Eagle Pass today because I trust
that guy to handle this crisis. We're going to talk
about this with Matt mkoyac coming up in just a
few right now. We're going to check traffic and weather,

(01:38:42):
and that means we're gonna check them.

Speaker 4 (01:38:43):
This guy, Mike, all right, but you got your North Freeway.
I'm still trying to get the official people to take
that off the screen. If you've got in car navigation
that might affect you, and I think I can fix that.
Nord Freeway cleared, the wreck of Parker, it's gone. Everybody's okay.
We're packed from West Road. We had two different accidents
on the Gulf Freeway. Looks like whatever was going on
in front of waffle House is now gone. But we've
got some breaks right at the south stay of the

(01:39:06):
course called Freeways actually not bad. And Katie Freeway. They
cleared a couple of stalls. I think maybe we had
some stuff in the road there. Flat tires at the Beltway.
That looks good. Park Road to the President's an easy
twenty six minute stroll West Park. You don't even need
toll lanes this morning, but you're looking good. And sugar
Land Southwest Freeway, you're right, is about twenty two minutes

(01:39:27):

and also your north side. At seven twenty it's the

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
All right, thank you very much. Good Sir. Jeff Eno
has our forecast for us this morning. Hey Jeff, Hey,
good morning Bob. We're going to see some changes here.
Going to get up to around seventy today, which is
where we're supposed to be. We're mostly sunny tonight, partly cloudy.
That overnight low a little on the warm side, upper
fifties is where we are headed, and that's about ten
degrees above average. That sets up a very warm Wednesday,

(01:39:59):
possibly another record center. Mostly sunny up to around eighty five,
and the overnight low Wednesday night drops to around sixty
again another warm night, but then that's pretty much.

Speaker 36 (01:40:09):
Going to be it. We'll get that cooler air in
mid sixties for the high Thanksgiving Day, mostly cloudy. We're
in the low sixties for the high Friday, mostly sunny,
and we'll keep it in the low to mid sixties
through the weekend, possibly astray afternoon shower Saturday, and those
overnight lows starting on Thursday night all the way through
the weekend into the mid to upper forties.

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):

Good Tuesday to thanks for being with us. So what
about it? Governor Abbott going to be hosting the TZAR.
The borders are our real borders are so funny We
use that word in such a mocking tone for the
last four years because Joe Biden gave that title to

(01:41:03):

securing the border, or anything of that near. Well, I'm

The forecast is at the bottom of the hour on

Speaker 3 (01:43:05):
Okay, let's bring in Matt mccoveyack as promised now to
talk about this visit from the real borders are Tom Homan,
the incoming borders are with Governor Abba going to be
visiting Eagle Pass today. Hey, Matt, how are you. I'm
doing great, good morning.

Speaker 24 (01:43:18):
Good to have you.

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
So, first of all, before we talk about today's visit,
what is your impression of Tom Homan from what you
have seen and heard? Since President Trump almost immediately after
winning the election, it was his first appointment that he
announced special Advisor to the President in charge of not
only the northern and southern borders, but also maritime and
air and the Chief Deporter, if you will, the Deporter

(01:43:40):
in chief. What do you think of Tom so far?

Speaker 42 (01:43:43):
Yeah, I mean, he served for four years as Immigrations
and Customers Enforcement Director ICE director in the first Trump administration.
He's been I think at the America First Falsey Institute
or Heritage I forget one or the other in between. Yeah,
I mean, he's our nation's leading bord security expert, and
he's going to be in a broader role this time.
And of course the situation he's inheriting is different than
what happened when Trump took office in twenty seventeen. It's

(01:44:06):
not just that they want to put the Trump policies
that were successful back in place, like remaining in Mexico.
Since you have this inflow of millions of people that
you have to you have to identify, you have to
categorize and prioritize and begin deportation is the way that
Trump promised it, and that's really part of the mandate
that he has. So Holman wants to start immediately, and

(01:44:27):
they have to get the border wall going again. Of course,
the State of Texas has been building it, you know,
in a somewhat limited fashion on state land, but you know,
it's a massive undertaking. It's a huge job that he's
taking on, and but he is really probably the best
person for it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:43):
Yeah, I completely agree, and they are targeting him. He
has become public enemy number one of the left because
he is so aggressive about this. He very caures, very
passionately about the security of this country and it's sovereignty.
So he talked about having death threats. He's receiving death threats,
and he's more than willing to go to battle head
to head with people like governors Police in Colorado and
Pritzker in Illinois, and of course Newson in California and

(01:45:06):
so forth, who are basically saying no, we're sanctuary states
with sanctuary cities, and we will resist every attempt for
him to uh that he wants to make. I should say,
to deport individuals, we will protect all residents here, whether
they are documented or undocumented. How does he win those
showdowns if they won't cooperate, Yeah, I think I think
we would go to the courts.

Speaker 42 (01:45:26):
At that point, you have you know, states, you know,
refusing to follow the federal government, and and so it
becomes a fundamental legal battle. I would think in the
end that that's would be on really strong ground. There
would depend on what the order is, what the basis
for the order is, what the statutory authority is, those
kinds of things. But but you know, if you're here illegally,

(01:45:48):
you have no legal right to be here, and and
so and look, you know, Obama deported something like the
three million people, and I think most of us feel
like he did an adequate job on the border. So
deportations happen every year year, and you know, I hope
they start with criminals. Hope they start with those who
have current deportation orders. That makes good sense, And those
would be the place you you'd want to start, but

(01:46:10):
after you brought out after that, that's right.

Speaker 18 (01:46:12):
We have to get these people out.

Speaker 42 (01:46:14):
The sas again a big part of why Trump want
it's what people voted for. The media and the Democrats
are going to go crazy as this happens, but it
needs to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
We have there have to be consequences for a legal entry. Yeah,
no question about it. We're talking to Mam m Kovak,
Republicans strategist about Tom Holman's visit to the border today.
What's he going to see when he and Governor Abbot
get the Eagle Pass.

Speaker 42 (01:46:35):
Well, I think what Abolis show him is what the
state of Texas has done. You know, I saw that
the government announced they put more river booys in the
Rio Grande River just two days ago.

Speaker 18 (01:46:44):
I mean that was something that was not being.

Speaker 42 (01:46:45):
Done in first administration because you hadn't had the massive
info that we've had under Biden and Harris. So I
think he's going to show him some things the state
has done, not just the border wall. They've been on
state land, the river, bowys, the He'll show where personnel are,
They'll show them where the gaps are. But Eagle passes
the town of like you know, thirty thousand people, and

(01:47:08):
they've had days where they had fifteen or twenty thousand
people come in that one day. Right, you can imagine
just you know, how chaotic that would be for a
talent of that size, even if a large percentage of
people don't stay, you know, they come into your town
for a.

Speaker 3 (01:47:21):
Time, and it must be, you know, really disruptive to
daily life.

Speaker 42 (01:47:25):
So yeah, I think I think home, we'll see from
the governor kind of the current state of play. And
it's important because it is changing every day, every week,
every month.

Speaker 3 (01:47:34):
Yeah, and right now it's been changing for the worst,
really badly. Apparently troopers that encountered what a large group
of more than two hundred illegals on Sunday, including over
sixty unaccompanied children, one of which it was a two
year old, and this kind of went viral as she
was basically carrying a piece of paper saying where she
is supposed to go, but she was not with anybody.
I don't understand, and I know I'm speaking preaching in

(01:47:57):
the choir here with you, Matt, but I don't understand
how anybody can look at that and not call that
a crisis. And of course this is exactly why Tom
Holman has been chosen to do this. That's right, That's right.

Speaker 42 (01:48:08):
And look, you know there are multiple levels to the
things I think Trump wants to do. On day one,
I think you'll see significant executive orders on immigration announced,
you know, immediately, any catch and release returning Mexico going
back Title forty three on the border from up cels
or even the terariff history.

Speaker 3 (01:48:26):
Of that, I apologize, but even the tariff anooman yesterday
twenty five percent against Canada and Mexico. As long as
the illegal drugs and people are coming across their borders,
if they're not doing anything on their side of the border,
they're going to pay the prize.

Speaker 42 (01:48:39):
Yeah, and it increases us leverage in that situation. You know,
it may not be a tariff that he actually applies
he's threatening to do. It depends on how they react. Yes,
and look, Mexico has a new president, that negotiation would start,
you know, almost immediately. She was from the same party
that the previous president was, which Trump had a pretty
good relationship with, but who has basically taken advantage of Biden,

(01:49:00):
you know, with Biden's cooperation. So yeah, they're inheriting a
totally different situation. They know they have to act quickly.
They know what works because it worked last time. But
you have to get so many of these people out
there here now. That's going to be the critical part,
and how you actually keep that is going to be
very complicated.

Speaker 3 (01:49:16):
It is indeed. Matt mcovey at Republican Strategist on the
Home and Visit to the Border today. Matt, thanks so much.
We appreciate it. Happy Thanksgiving, same to you. Take care
you got it. It is twenty seven minutes past the hour.
Let's get a Bloomberg Business report right now and check
in with Denise Pellegriney. Good morning, Denise, Good morning' you.

Speaker 23 (01:49:35):
Yeah, a lot of folks heading to the airport today,
as you've been talking about, many Spirit Airline ticket holders
have been very worried about whether they're going to make
it to their destination. As you've been talking about, they
did file for bankruptcy last week, just before this busiest
stretch of the You're not great timing, but it is
important to know that the airline is not shutting down.
It is reorganizing in an effort to keep business alive,

(01:49:57):
and Spirit says passengers can use all tickets credits and
loyalty points is if nothing happened. By the way, the
carrier has also hired a brand advisor to help it
shed its reputation as one of America's most disliked airlines.
Stock futures right now are hired not by a lot,
but a little bit higher. We're going to check on

(01:50:18):
that for you right now, just quickly. Dow futures are
down about one hundred and forty seven points, but S

A result of continued violent crime, more Republican women are
arming themselves and the left won't like this, but EV

Thank you very much, Bob. Good morning everyone.

It's seven thirty two on kt erh our top story
more violent crime across the Houston area this morning, we
know that a man was found shot and killed in
northwest Harris County. This is just developing. And we also
know and told you about earlier this morning that HPD
is looking for Alvaro Lovos in connection to the murder

(01:52:27):
of his neighbor, Charlie Wilson last week on the north Side.
Wilson died after being stabbed with a machete twenty five times.
Crimes like these are just one reason why new polling
shows at the rate of gun ownership among Republican women
has skyrocketed in recent years of fifty percent since twenty eighteen.

Speaker 25 (01:52:48):
When every second counts, the police are often minutes away,
so having that firearm to be able to respond at
a moment's notice is the critical key to saving your
life in many instances.

Speaker 5 (01:52:57):
That is Chris mcnutty, president of Tech Gun Rights Now.
The same Gallup poll showed that gun ownership for Democrat
men dropped seven points to twenty nine percent. It's now
seven thirty three in Washington. President elect Donald Trump is
talking about what he plans to do the day he
takes the oath of office once again.

Speaker 26 (01:53:18):
President elected Donald Trump, taking a true social to post
on January twentieth is one of my many first executive orders.
I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and
Canada a twenty five percent tariff on all products coming
into the United States, explaining the tariffs would remain in
place until the two countries cracked down on drugs, specifically
fentanyl and migrants crossing the border illegally.

Speaker 5 (01:53:40):
That is Fox's Kristin Goodwin. But will those tariffs be enough?
Texas Governor Greg Abbott says maybe not in my opinion.

Speaker 27 (01:53:48):
We don't have enough ice agents, we don't have enough
border patrol agents. We need as much manpower as we
can get right now because it's all hands on deck.

Speaker 5 (01:53:55):
Abbot with KT REHS Sean Hannity Now, the governor hosts
the incoming Borders our top home in an Eagle Pass
later today. More on that at eight o'clock meantime, Reports
say that Republicans on Capitol Hill are discussing a second
impeachment for DHS Secretary Alejandro Majorkis. The goal there is

(01:54:15):
to block him from ever holding office again overseas. The
Israeli cabinet reportedly votes today on that ceasefire deal with Hesballah.
White House Security National Security spokesman John Kirby says they're hopeful.

Speaker 28 (01:54:30):
We believe that the trajectory of this is going in
a very positive direction. But yeah, nothing is done until
everything is done.

Speaker 5 (01:54:37):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said over the weekend he
approved the potential deal in principle. It's now seven thirty
four on KTRH. If you're going to the airport this
morning for your Thanksgiving trip, pack your patients, you'll have
plenty of company.

Speaker 29 (01:54:53):
Well, this is our super Bowl. It's the busiest time
of the year for us. Our busiest day almost always
in the given year is a Sunday following Thanksgiving. We
expect that to be the same this year. So the
busy stays are going to be Tomorrow, Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (01:55:05):
And then Sunday, TSA Administrator David Pikowski. If you're driving,
gasoline prices across Houston this morning tick up to about
two sixty one a gallon. It's two cents lower than
the statewide average and forty five cents lower than the
national average of three dollars and six cents.

Speaker 4 (01:55:23):
Well, the Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:55:24):
Administration tried to push everyone towards electric cars. They insisted
that prices would gradually come down, but nobody's buying the
cars and they cost about sixty thousand dollars a pop.
Automotive expert Mike Cordell tells Fox there's still no mess
market for these things.

Speaker 30 (01:55:42):
Throw the tax credits out the door, you can throw
the pricing out the door. You have to create an
environment where consumers want to buy these cars, and right
now they don't want to buy them because they don't
understand them and they're getting all of this ev stuff
shoved down their throat.

Speaker 5 (01:55:57):
Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said that producing a twenty
five thousand dollars electric car would be quote silly and pointless.
It's now seven thirty six. We're all dealing with the
rising cost of healthcare, but rural Texans have other issues.

Speaker 10 (01:56:13):
They're simply trying to find any healthcare, like.

Speaker 31 (01:56:17):
The residents of Buoie, Texas who lost their hospital and
then last month they're er closed.

Speaker 32 (01:56:24):
And so the residents are trying to look at options
to allow them to have especially emergency care in the area.

Speaker 4 (01:56:31):
That's Kim Roberts with the Texan twenty.

Speaker 32 (01:56:34):
Rural hospitals have closed since two thousand and five in Texas,
and rural healthcare is really suffering.

Speaker 24 (01:56:40):
She says.

Speaker 31 (01:56:41):
The main reason is money or the lack of it.
Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty k TIES and Jeff,

Despite recent deals with Mexico, they still need help to
get the water they need to survive.

Speaker 22 (01:56:57):
Texas Feign Bureau spokesman Gary Joyner says it's urgent authorities
in Mexico are not living up to their end of
a water sharing agreement that dates back seventy make it

Speaker 33 (01:57:08):
Texas agriculture in the Lower re Organ Valley is going
to disappear without water from the treaty obligations.

Speaker 22 (01:57:15):

Mexico into living up to the nineteen forty four treaty
and that Texas officials will hurry to get the water
to farmers. Michael Shiloh News Radio seven forty KTRA.

Fuite a story use radio seven forty KTRH. All right,
it is now seven thirty eight. Good morning, Tia, thanks
for being with us. Still looking at reactions to the
decision by Jack Smith, the Special Prosecutor, to request a
dismissal of the charges against President Trump for supposed and

(01:58:50):
alleged election interference and then the decision of the judge
to actually grant that. So one of the major cases
against President Trump is completely gone now and the leftist
meltdown the reaction action is really quite priceless. I give
you Dan Goldman, representative from New York, who is one
of the chief impeachment officers if you will, the last
time the president went through that. He is completely beside himself.

(01:59:12):
So is Adam Schiff, who says that retribution and Trump
speaking like a dictator means this is only going to
get worse.

Speaker 34 (01:59:21):
Right when you hear that language, How concerned are you
that you will be targeted by President Electron than his
second administration.

Speaker 43 (01:59:29):
Well, that's dictator talk. That's how autocrats talk. They want
to make their political opposition an enemy, describe him in
those terms.

Speaker 18 (01:59:40):
But look, I'm not concerned about myself. I'm going to
do my job.

Speaker 43 (01:59:42):
I'm not going to have his threats intimidate me from
doing so. But anytime you have someone in particularly someone
who's going to become president of United States, fawning over dictators,
emulating their language, attacking the press, undermining our restitions, yeah,
we should be concerned about because at the end.

Speaker 18 (02:00:00):
Of the day.

Speaker 43 (02:00:01):
It means that the American people will suffer. The American people,
I think, voted on the basis of the economy. They
wanted change the economy. They weren't voting for dictatorship. So
I think he is going to misread his mandate if
that's what he thinks voters chosen for.

Speaker 3 (02:00:20):
Yeah. I love the fact that they have no earthly
idea why they lost. They have no idea. They think
it was all just about the economy. What are you
kidding me? I just gave you the numbers. Three out
of four American surveyed say they want mass deportations to happen.
That has nothing to do with the economy. It has
everything to do with safety and security of this country.
He promised peace and prosperity in nowhere in that campaign,

(02:00:41):
promised that he say mention anything about dictatorship or vengeance
or anything of those things. Adam Schiff continues to fear monger,
and they continue to be in denial about what the
American people have said. The American people have said they're
tired of Democrat policies and wokeness. And I suppose it's
a good thing that the Democrats have learned nothing from
their resounding defeat. All right, it is seven forty. Let's

(02:01:03):

It's not bad for six ' ten though, and then
northbound after bel Air, right around the West Park exit

you've got your golf freeway. Looks like most of that
stuff has gone. Dennis on the golf freeway.

You have those two little lanes and a wicked curve

All right, thank you very much, Good sir. Let's check

to see a record tomorrow? Jeff, what do you think?
Make the call? What's your prediction.

Speaker 36 (02:02:20):
I think we're gonna hit it. We did it yesterday,
we hit eighty six, and I think that eighty five.
I don't think that will stand. I think we'll go
a little warmer than that eighty four and eighty nine,
So I think we'll go ahead and break another one
this week and then we'll usher in the colder air
mostly Sunday today up to around seventy can't do much
better for late November as we hit that mark today,

(02:02:41):
partly cloudy tonight, overnight low in the upper fifties, and
then tomorrow mostly sunny up to around eighty five, and
we will see the low near sixty Wednesday night, and
then we drop it down to the mid sixties Thanksgiving date,
mostly cloudy skies, mostly sunny on Friday, low sixties and
then maybe a stray afternoon shower Saturday. That's it for
the rain and temperatures in the low to mid sixties

(02:03:02):

that has now decided, Yeah, we're not going to do

(02:04:09):
this anymore because it is we are getting crushed. We
are getting crushed in the court of popular opinion, if
you will. It is hurting our sales, that is herting
our business, and we are going to cave. I love
when a plan comes together, as a famous a team member.

Here's skylight, all right, Bob, This time we're going to

That makes perfect sense. We've got breaks now from Beach Nut.
Something is cooking at West Timer. I just know that
that's a hard front door. I'll get you some lineage
and figure out what that is. At the eight o'clock report,
I just know that you lose about ten minutes northbound
on the west Lip six ' ten Southwest Freeway. That's

(02:04:48):
a lot of breaks right after He'll croft. The West
Park entrance is rough too, but it's overall not bad.
On the West Park. You hit some breaks right around
synot inbound, and you're east Tex elevated. It's all packed
up from equipment pass to Bob Bart down the Big
George and to the Med Center exit fan and he
lose twelve minutes southbound. I'm Skymike on the Generator Supercenter

Speaker 3 (02:06:24):
So I want to close this morning with this story
again of a major retailer caving end under the pressure
put on by rob and his organization. Robbie Starbuck, if
you don't know, is a filmmaker, and he is an activist,
and he is a host. And he's got a movie
out by the way, which is a free movie to watch.
It's called The War on Children at the War on
Children dot com. It is tremendous. But he has kind

(02:06:47):
of been a one man wrecking ball. Not one man,
he's got a team, but he's the leader wrecking ball
of companies that have pushed woke DEEI policies on their employees,
on the customers, and so on and so forth. And
they have been just caving left and right because the
protests that he's able to put together. I don't want
to call them boycotts. They're not all boycotts. It's just

(02:07:07):
really bad publicity that they know is going to hurt business,
these giant companies. And so he's not saying don't buy this,
don't buy that. He's just exposing who they are and
what they do. That's the reason I hesitated before, and
I said, it's a good plan that comes together. It's
not calling for a boycott. That's more of a leftist thing.
But the latest retailer is the biggest retailer, it's Walmart.

(02:07:31):
Robbie Starbuck announced Monday, this is a Daily Wire story
that retail giant Walmart was the next major business to
abandon woke policies and practices under pressure and the threat
of wider public exposure. Starbuck has been systematically exposing major
businesses that have implemented such practices. He took to X
and sured a video and a series of points that

(02:07:51):
he had discussed with Walmart executives. Walmart executives, I can
give you just a couple of those here. Massive news,
he said. Walmart is their woke policies. I can exclusively
tell you now what is changing and how it happened.
Last week I told execus ave Walmart that I was
doing a story on wokeness there. Instead, we had a
productive conversation to find solutions. I have to give their

(02:08:12):
executive major credit because this will send shockwaves through corporate America.
This is the biggest win yet for our movement end
wokeness in corporate America. End quote. He went on to
describe that the massive retailer had actually committed to implementing
a number of changes that would root out wokeness that
had permeated the company culture. Among the changes he said

(02:08:34):
Walmart has agreed and committed to now are surveys. Walmart
will no longer participate in the HRC's Woke Corporate Equality Index.
There's a I really wish I could have more time
on this, because I'm going to send you to Unwokeinvesting
dot com too. If you're looking for the dangers of
ESG investing and woke investing, you should check out unwoke Investing.

(02:08:57):
Just search that up. Walmart also agreed on to monitor
Walmart's marketplace to identify and remove inappropriate sexual and or
trans products marketed to children. That's huge funding of grants,
review all funding of pride and other events to avoid
funding inappropriate sexualized content that targets children. Equity. Walmart pledges

(02:09:22):
to not extend the Racial Equity Center, which was established
in twenty twenty as a special five year initiative. It
will end in twenty twenty five. Walmart is pledged to
end supplier or supplier diversity. We will evaluate supplier diversity
programs and ensure they do not provide preferential treatment and
benefits to suppliers based on diversity. We don't have quotas
and won't going forward. Financial financing eligibility will no longer

(02:09:45):
be predicated on providing certain demographic data that is important. LATINX,
Walmart will no longer use the term in official communications.
No more latin X or LATINX trainings. Walmart will discontinue
racial equity training through the Equity Institute DEI. Walmart will
discontinue to do so. DEI is the term while ensuring

(02:10:05):
the respectful and supportive environment. Our focus is on belonging
for all associates and customers. This is almost a complete
surrender by one of the most woke corporations, and Robbie
Starbuck has pretty much brought its wokeness to its knees.
It's a great way to end this program this morning.
Thanks so much for listening to everybody. Michael Berry's next
be well, be safe, stay free. I'll be in for

(02:10:27):
Jimmy once again tomorrow. I have a great day.
