Our top story.

They're not taking care of their people, clearly, we want
to come in and help make their streets safer.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
DHS Secretary Christy Noam taking a shot at sanctuary cities
on Fox for refusing to help with ICE operation. So far,
the arrests in Houston, according to ICE, include a Salvador
and MS thirteen gang member who's been charged with terrorism.
The ICE operations are popular with Americans, nearly sixty percent

(02:06):
of likely voters told Rasmussen they approve, and nearly forty
percent indicated that they quote strongly approve. But the resistance continues.
Teachers' unions are now telling their members how to create
ice free safe zones inside of schools.

Speaker 8 (02:23):
Teachers that go out of their way to impede ICE
enforcement could face charges.

Speaker 9 (02:27):
If you harbor someone who's in the country illegally from
authorities that are trying to enforce the law, then then
you could be prosecuted for it.

Speaker 8 (02:35):
Senior Customs and Border Protections advisor Ron Vittello says this
is likely just virtue signaling.

Speaker 9 (02:40):
If we had ice agents actually in a school anywhere
in the United States within the last eight days, we'd all.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Know about it.

Speaker 10 (02:47):

It's now five oh three and as you send your
kids to school, According to new test scores, Texas fourth
graders and eighth graders are falling further behind and reading
in math along with national students.

Speaker 11 (03:09):
What we're seeing now is that there really haven't been
recovery since the pandemic at least have measured on these results.
I mean, in particular in reading. The results are particularly
discouraging their focus on DEI and identity politics. It didn't
do anything. It help student achievement.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
Jonathan Butcher with the Heritage Foundation says school choice helps,
but he fears we may have ruined an entire generation.
There's also trouble for recent college graduates. They can't find work.

Speaker 12 (03:35):
A competitive labor market and certain employer expectations isn't making
it easy.

Speaker 13 (03:39):
It wasn't so much that students were having trouble finding jobs.
It was that hiring managers didn't want to hire people
coming right out of college.

Speaker 12 (03:49):
Hiring and workplace expert Brenda Siri says employers need to
ask the tough questions to potential employees.

Speaker 13 (03:55):
Ask targeted questions that may help them decide that that
person would be a good fit and that they're not
an unmotivated, unable to communicate human being.

Speaker 12 (04:05):
One survey says one and four hiring managers believe college
grants are unprepared for the workforce. Chert Lewis News Radio seven.

(04:50):
yesterday at the confirmation hearings for Cash Bettel, Telsea Gabbard
and RFK. Junior Texas Senator Ted cru says it really
was just Democrat grandstanding.

Speaker 16 (05:00):
I think the Democrats they tried to put on a circus.
They screamed, they yelled, they stopped their little feats. They
beat the table.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
Crews with kt reh's Sean Hannity. But there are still
some Republican senators not on board with the President's selections,
and Vice President Jade Vance has some advice for them.

Speaker 14 (05:17):
Back off.

Speaker 17 (05:18):
You don't get to make these decisions. President Trump gets
to make these decisions, and he already has.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
Meantime, Doug Bergham was confirmed as Secretary of the Interior
a seventy nine to eighteen votes. Elsewhere, the President says
he will place tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting tomorrow.

Speaker 18 (05:35):
Number one is the people that have poured into our
country so horribly and so much. Number two of the drugs,
vent and all and everything else that have come into
the country. A Number three of the massive subsidies that
we're giving to Canada and to Mexico in the form
of deficits.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
Trump says he's still considering whether or not to include
oil from those countries as part of this. At five
h six, more violent crime across Houston. A robbery suspect
jumps off a garage roof after shooting at Tomball cops
last night. That man is in serious condition. No officers
were hurt. Violent crime continues, and we're learning more about

(06:11):
a Waller County inmate and how he escaped custody a
week ago. Salvador Salsato has not been seen since.

Speaker 19 (06:17):
Waller County Sheriff's office tells us that Salsato freed himself
by using a medical tool to pick his handcuffs. After that,
they know he ran to a nearby rural area. At
this point, Waller County believes one of two things happened.
Salsato died in the winter storm that blanketed the area
last week and his remains just haven't been found, or
Salsato received help and is either still hidden in the area,

(06:40):
or he has left all together.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Keith Garvin with our TV partner Channel two and New
Harris County DA Sean Tier this week dropped four murder
cases because of lack of evidence, including one that dates
back to twenty twenty one. In the city at a
concern for several residents, as parking lot takeovers can change
you neighbors, one answers as to why they haven't been

(07:02):
shut down, So we asked city council Member Abby Kaman,
and she says it's because the lots aren't or rather
are on private property.

Speaker 20 (07:11):

be preventing the situation from occurring altogether.

resources to fight this problem. Five seven, the Rockets four

Sngoon he makes the All Star team for the first
time in his career. I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's news,
weather and Traffic station KTRH.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Always stronger than the setback, the comeback.

Speaker 18 (07:46):
The greatest comeback of all times.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Here America's comeback on news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I don't recommend eating boys for breakfast. I think they're
high Kolus Stroll five hour wait is our time here
on Houston's morning News. Right, here's the story about common
breakfast foods found to more than double the heart attack
and stroke risk. Great how only you have breakfast on
the weekends list? See what's the ideal of breakfast? I'd
have an omelet, bacon, the hash brown potatoes, all of which,

(08:23):
by the way, at least two of three of which
contain something called acreedlamite acreelamite. It is produced when foods
such as potatoes, bread, coffee, breakfast cereals those types of
things are heated. It's common in burnt carbohydrates and caused
by a reaction between heat and natural sugars that result

(08:45):
in the browning. In other words, browning food, generally speaking,
is not good for you, including that piece of toast.
Akreelamite is found in meals produced through industrial cooking, which
includes ultra processed foods, as well as certain cosmetics and cigarettes.
For years, there have been concerns that aquilamite can produce

(09:05):
reactions in the body that could potentially result in cancer. Whoever,
a team of Spanish researchers has also discovered another potential
risk from acrelamite intake. It's cardiovascular disease. The higher acrelamite
consumption is associated with a higher rate of cardiovascular issues,
including heart attacks and strokes, and even death. Researchers cited

(09:26):
varioustudies that found excessive amounts of acrelamite whatever they consider
to be excessive, I'm not sure, were associated with an
eighty four percent greater risk of cardiovascular death and vulnerable patients,
including people at risk of type two diabetes. So, in
other words, the food that you eat that you crisp,

(09:49):
like French fries, potato chips, that kind of stuff has
higher levels of akrelamite. Breakfast cereals which are cooked and
have natural sugar, have a higher level of a cree
and you eat enough of that stuff, enough processed foods,
and they risk it ups the risk of a heart
attack or a stroke. Great bowl and appetite. Five ten.

(10:10):
Time for traffic and weather together. I'm just gonna keep
on eating my bacon sky Mic, give me a.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Bowl of that akreelamite right now, I'll eat some. Let's go,
you know what, Let's go to the hard work in
east side. I bet nobody in Dayton, Texas is concerned
about a kreela mine or cholesterol terry.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
We come in on ninety liberty.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Either way, we look good from the river bottoms where

But fourteen thirteen you got that big spackle of roadwork.

Speaker 5 (10:53):

Terry's here. I wonder what the whole time record is
for for cholesterol level? Who has the highest cholesterol level
in the history of mankind? How high can it go?

Speaker 4 (11:38):
That would be interesting to find that character on Austin Powers.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh fat bastard. God, you might be right about that one. Yeah,
all right, well tell him to keep his clothes on.
The rest of us might be able to take our
shirts off this weekend. It's definitely shorts weather, Terry.

Speaker 21 (11:52):
Yeah, it's shorts weather. Yes, that col front that brought
us some rain has moved off toward the east. The
dryer air is starting to show up, and uh, it's
really going to be a nice day, a nice weekend,
and I don't see any signs of rain right now

highest cholesterol level ever recorded. Yeah, five hundred Oh Gollee.
Can you imagine, oh Golley and the guy was only
like thirty nine years old.

Speaker 21 (12:49):
Ooh, I wonder if genetics played a role in oh akreelamite.

Speaker 14 (12:54):
Is that what you were saying?

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, it wasn't a kuela mine that did that.

Speaker 12 (12:58):
Know.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
That's that's good.

Speaker 14 (13:00):
Currently it's had an effect on Skymike you.

Morning News team. All the info you need to take
on the day, All right, coming up in five twenty
here in Houston's Morning News. Well, he certainly has not
taken long for experts to come forward and analysis to
begin of what happened with that plane crash with a

(13:35):
Blackhawk helicopter American Airlines plane crash. President Trump at the
press conference was very quick to point the finger at DEI,
which of course got the ire of liberal media journalist
and I'll put that in their quotes, especially Caitlin Collins
from CNN. So a little bit of that exchange coming

(13:55):
up next. But first of five twenty, let's do a
little traffic and weather together as we check out the
drive again with Skymine.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Allait flip your visors. We're going to the west side.

Speaker 22 (15:28):
Remember the rule of three can make the day better.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
On news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Five two now here on Houston's Morning News. Well, it
wasn't just a plane the weight down. It's also black
hawk helicopter. Nobody survives. And this an immediate response from
the Trump administration. I mean, you had the new head
of the Transportation Department, Sean Duffy, he had a press conference,

(15:58):
you had President trouble being a press conference, and at
Trump's press conference, he was very quick to point out
that during the Obama administration, Obama had made changes to
the FAA and LORD standards to implement DEI programs. When
he came into office, he nicksed those, but when Biden

(16:19):
came into office, he brought them all back. So he
brought that up as a potential cause for what happened.
Here was the response came after that from Caitlin Collins
from CNN.

Speaker 23 (16:31):
Know the names of the sixty seven people we were killed,
and you are blaming Democrats and DEI policies and air
trafet control and seemingly the member of the US military
was flying at.

Speaker 22 (16:41):
Black Hawk helicopter.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
Don't you think you're getting ahead of the investigation right now?

Speaker 14 (16:45):
I don't think so at all.

Speaker 24 (16:46):
I don't think were the names of the people, I
mean the names of the people that are on the
plane you think that's going to make a difference for
their family. They are a group of people that have
lost their lives. If you want a list of the names,
we can give you that will be giving that very soon.
In coordination with American airlines, were in coordination very strongly
obviously with the military. But I think that's not a

(17:08):
very smart question.

Speaker 22 (17:09):
I'm surprised coming from you.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
Please, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 25 (17:14):
Buys just trying to think for being here, based on
your analysis so far, do you have a sense of
who was at fault, if it was the plane, the helicopter,
air traffic control, and can you assure people that it
is safe to fly in and out of DC.

Speaker 24 (17:26):
Well, I've given you the analysis, and the analysis.

Speaker 22 (17:29):
Was who was based on envision.

Speaker 26 (17:33):
You had a lot of people that saw what was happening.

Speaker 22 (17:36):
You had some people that knew what was happening.

Speaker 24 (17:39):
There was some warnings, but the warnings were given very
very late.

Speaker 22 (17:42):
You know, those warnings were given very late.

Speaker 24 (17:44):
It was almost as they were given a few seconds
later there was the crash.

Speaker 22 (17:48):
I should have been brought up earlier.

Speaker 26 (17:52):
But the people and the helicopter should have seen where
they we're going.

Speaker 22 (17:58):
I can't imagine people with.

Speaker 26 (18:01):
Twenty twenty vision not seeing, you know, what's happening up there.

Speaker 22 (18:07):
Again, they shouldn't have been at the same height.

Speaker 14 (18:09):
You're going in.

Speaker 26 (18:11):
Reverse directions or sideway directions. Obviously you want to be
at different heights. I see it all the time when
I'm flying. You have planes going in the opposite They're
always lower.

Speaker 22 (18:21):
We're higher.

Speaker 26 (18:23):
So if somehow there's a screw up, there's not going
to be a tragedy.

Speaker 22 (18:27):
It'll be close, but you know, there's never going to
be a tragedy if you're at a different elevation. For
whatever reason, they were at the same elevation.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yep, for whatever reason. Now I've seen some analysis, you
know from you know, people's aviation industry, former pilots, helicopter pilots,
you know, airline pilots, et cetera. I've heard them mention
air traffic control because the the plane was instructed to

(18:57):
land on a different runway fairly close to lane, and
that runway was closer to where the black Hawk helicopter was.
I've heard some blame the communication between the air traffic
control and the black Hawk helicopter when they asked the
pilot if he saw the plane. There was another plane

(19:17):
that was taking off at the time, and he may
have been referring to that plane, So maybe the communication
wasn't clear. But whatever the reason is, we need to
get to the bottom of it, and we need to
do it very quickly. And that I think will be
the big difference between the Trump administration and what we
have seen during the Biden administration, and that is that

(19:38):
there will be action taken quickly and there will be
much more transparency as far as exactly what happened in
Who's at Fault five twenty six. It is time to
take a look at your money as we check in
with the flocks at Boomberg Bloomberg, Pard Me and Jimmy.

Speaker 5 (19:52):
Good morning.

Speaker 27 (19:52):
The major stock averages advanced in Thursday's trading. The games

Big Oil's going to be in the spotlight today with
Exxon Mobiles scheduled to post quarterly results. The government's monthly
report on personal incomes and consumer spending will be out
before the market's open this morning. Apple's iPhone sales declined

upbeat forecast for the current quarter. And the guacamole at
your super Bowl party could be more expensive this year.
President Trump plans to impose twenty five percent tariffs on
Mexican imports starting tomorrow. Avocados are just one of the
things will have to pay more for if the tariffs

five at your official severe weather station. News Radio seven
forty k TRH. It's time now for the news. Here's

(22:35):
Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
Thank you very much, Jimmy. Five thirty two on KTRH
were top story. Democrats thought they had the better of
three of President Trump's cabinet picks yesterday, but Tulca Gabbard,
Cash Patel and RFK Junior at THEMO to fight back.

Speaker 29 (22:49):
What truly unsettles my political opponents is I refuse to
be their puppet.

Speaker 30 (22:55):
I would love to have five hours of question you've
got two minutes.

Speaker 31 (22:58):
Almost all the members of this panel, including yourself, are
accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical in this rate.

Speaker 22 (23:05):
Oh no, their.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
Interest that was RFK going after Bernie Sanders there. Meantime,
another cabinet member is seated, as Doug Bergram was confirmed
as Interior Secretary. The President's trying to reshape the federal government,
and I'll have to do the same with the judiciary again.
That's because Joe Biden appointed more federal judges than Trump
did in his first term.

Speaker 32 (23:28):
What these administrations look to do is they look to
appoint young judges so that they can keep their quote
unquote legacy alive.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
Legal analyst Michelle Maple says, unfortunately, will continue to feel
the effects of Biden's presidency for years. Close at a home,
Texas lawmakers are getting an earfull from both the governor
and the lieutenant governor who did the.

Speaker 33 (23:50):
Governor, Dan Patrick has released his first twenty five priorities
for the Texas Senate. They include things like school choice,
property tax relief, and hiring more state troopers. You will
be consultant. Matt Kobeac says. This puts new House Speaker
Dustin Burrows on the spot.

Speaker 35 (24:35):
As we continue to fortify the border, add that technology,
add the infrastructure, and then the augmentation of manpower with
the Department Defense, We're going to see the cartels get
more brazen. We're going to start, you know, shutting their
pathways down.

Speaker 6 (24:49):

So, does everybody have a hoa Horror Story? Five thirty
eight is their time here in Houston's morning news. I
saw this. I saw this story of people sharing their
horror stories and letters they've gotten from their homeowners association,
and I thought he'd share a couple of these with you.
And then I thought, maybe it'd be fun this morning
on a Friday if you shared some horror stories from

(28:55):
Homeowners' Association's experiences that you've had. We have a little
talk back button that you can utilize. In order to
do that, you go through the iHeartRadio app. Make sure
you have set that preset for KTRH, so the reasy
to find, and then when you get to KTRH, look
for the microphone you press that. You've got thirty seconds.
I just need your name, a first name, where you're

(29:17):
calling from, and a quick little synopsis of your HOA
horror story. Here's a couple of examples. I hope you're
doing well, says the letter from the HOA. We wanted
to reach out in regards to an incident that occurred
over the weekend at your birthday party. A few of
us in the community couldn't help but notice the rival
of three blocked out SUVs, which quite frankly startled and

(29:37):
unsettled several of your neighbors. It's really concerning to see
such vehicles showing up in an otherwise peaceful, family oriented neighborhood,
especially without any prior notice. As you can imagine, the
sight of them raised a lot of questions and caused
quite a bit of anxiety. Some residents even thought something
more serious was happening. The whole situation was quite honestly alarming,
and we had no idea how to react. I don't know.

(30:02):
Maybe they why would you have blackedout? S?

Speaker 12 (30:05):
What?

Speaker 11 (30:05):
What?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Why would have blacked out suv upset you? Here's a
story from a homeowner who had a tree in the
front yard. The HOA decided quote it looked dead and
cut it down without without the permission of the homeowner.
Here's one where a homeowner was told by the HOA
that they were guilty of perceived unfairness. They had a

(30:31):
gas generator during a power outage. It says several HOA
members were frustrated by the fact that, while they had
no power in the community, you were seen watching the
game on your TV and carrying on as if everything
was normal. The disparity caused further dissatisfaction among residents who

(30:52):
had the had the noise and vibration from your unit
as your home was powered and was powered even at night, well,
they were trying to sleep. Perceived unfairness. Notice from the HOA,
you've got a horror story. Just go to the iHeart
radio app KTRH. Put us on your preset again. You

Is this COVID related, you know from the lock COVID lockouts?
Or is this something else that worked. Do we have

Humble, reliable, KTRH Traffic and Weather next on the ten.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Five point fifty two. Our time here at Houston's Borning News.
The problem is that not that our kids can't read,
They just can't read at grade level, which I guess
is a little bit of a problem. Right when a
fourth grader is reading at a second greater level or
a third grader level, then they're falling behind. Jonathan Butcher
joins US senior Research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Not surprised, Jonathan,

(36:10):
I bet, I guess let's start with the cause. What
do we think the problem is? Is this leftover COVID
hangover from when we had all the schools locked down.

Speaker 11 (36:19):
Well, the score declines were actually going down even before
COVID hit. I mean there was a downward trend really
dating back about a decade at this point, I think
that we can point to some of the federal policies,
but really this has to do with the influence of
local teacher unions taking the focus away from core subjects
and away from math and reading and putting it on

(36:42):
things like sel and critical race theory related. You know,
they won't call it critical race theory, but the idea
of diversity equity and inclusion, you know, all of these
things that have radical views on race and gender. I
think that has really distracted from the core ideas of
what education should about.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
In other words, we're not doing the basics. We're doing
all these social programs. We're not spending our time doing reading, writing,
and arithmetic, which is what the schools were all designed
to do. Give kids the basics.

Speaker 11 (37:12):
I mean, certainly not enough. I mean it's hard to
make the argument that what's been done by these interest
groups have helped, right. I mean, we're looking at historically
low reading scores, especially in eighth grade, but also in
fourth grade. There was very very little achievement in math.
I mean it was almost negligible and spotty right in

(37:33):
different parts of the country. So the same has really
been true across even other subjects like Civics and geography
on the nation's report cards for many years too. So
you know, we can be and should be disturbed by
the drop in math and reading, but we've got to
recognize this is happening across the subject. So there is
something very fundamental that is not working in the assigned

(37:56):
school system.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
All right, Well, you know, let's look at the other end.
Of the equation. Though, let's look at the students and
let's look at the parents. We live in a highly
technological world where reading is sort of obsolete. I hate
to say that, but you know, we have kids that
are going home and they're playing video games, they're doing
anything but picking up a book and reading. It is
that part of the problem.

Speaker 11 (38:18):
Yeah, it could be, could be some. I mean I
would say that there's been heightened attention to reading in
recent years. In fact, there was a story of a
man who posted videos of himself teaching himself to read
after being released from prison, and his videos caught fire
on Instagram and he wound up on the Today Show. Right,
So I mean, I think I think this idea that

(38:40):
there is something valuable to reading, and that when you
teach yourself to read, you've you know, unlocked the future
potential for yourself. So I think that appreciation still exists
among the American public. I think that the distractions from
social media in general, I think are a real problem.
I mean the amount of time that children spend on

(39:01):
social media. According to some surveys, it's almost eight hours
a day, sometimes more so. I mean, kids are spending
almost an entire working day, right, the equivalent of that
on social media. So, you know, the policies around phones
in schools are getting a lot more attention these days.
States are prohibiting that or otherwise putting limits or pretty

(39:23):
strict restrictions on the use of phones in school during
the school day. And I think that's a good step.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, you know, even conservative states of donomythin this. Here
in Texas, for example, the reading scores for eighth graders
were really abysmal. I mean, I guess there wasn't one
area of improvement. Minorities we're doing a little bit better.
Non English speaking students, we have plenty of those, We're
doing a little bit better. Is the attention again going
to maybe special needs, you know, minorities groups that are

(39:54):
non English speaking groups. Are we putting too much attention there?
Not enough on you know, students who who have been
your their entire lives.

Speaker 11 (40:02):
Well, there are two things really, I mean, one is
that the students who are scoring at the very bottom
of the achievement scale sell even worse. Right, So this
achievement gap that we've now talked about for I mean generations, frankly,
that achievement gap is not getting any better right between
students at the top and bottom of the achievement scale.
That can be paired with the achievement gap between students

(40:25):
at the upper and lower levels of the income scale. Okay,
so there's a real there's a relationship there. I would
also say that even among white students, okay, their scores
are so troubling that even if we close the achievement gap,
we would still have students on average scoring below where

(40:48):
they need to be in terms of being on grade level.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (40:52):
So this is not just a matter of closing the
achievement gap, although that's important, it's a frankly, it's a
matter of getting all students up to a place where
they're scoring at grade level. So it's really a problem
regardless of background.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
A lot of reason it's behind it, but anyway, look
at it, we're not getting the job done. Jonathan. Thanks

Cliff Saunders on Houston's news, weather and traffic station KTRH.

Speaker 38 (48:45):
We can't let these things happen anymore.

Ease years stay two on Youth Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 44 (48:58):
So.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
I currently live in the neighborhood that's a homeowner's association.
I consider myself a pretty lucky The only thing they've
done to me is collect money, and that's it. I've
received no notifications, no problems, no issues. I did have
a neighbor though that did get a This is a
couple of years ago. I think we changed the HOA
after this happened. And that's the other thing you could do.
You can always change your HOA right or get a

(49:20):
different management company in there. But here's the thing. They
were sending out notices about people who had weeds that
they had to have their weeds removed. That's the only
thing I ever knew of that happened in our neighborhood.
But if you've had a horror story over the course
of time with your homeowners association, the only disadvantageries you

(49:41):
only have thirty seconds, But I'd love to hear a
little bit about it. You just go to the iHeartRadio
app KATRH. If you put us on your preset button,
then you can get to us faster. And then you
click the microphone, get me a first name where you're
calling from. In your quick little synopsis of your HOA
horror story. There's a story I saw about, you know,

(50:03):
the issues that the people have dealt with with their
homewners association. Here's a guy who had a house in
an HOA. Kids wanted to play basketball at the quiet
end of the street, but the rules required hoops be
attached to a garage, so to get around it, he
tied a two hundred foot rope from his garage to
the portable hoop in the street. Now it's attached. Say

(50:26):
that's smart. That's how you get around this stuff. Another
HOA sent parents have ceased in desist order over kids
playing in a common area. They should be happy. Kids
are out blown off a little sting, they're out there playing.
So once that happened, the HOA came out overnight and
they planted a whole bunch of trees in the common
area so that the kids couldn't play there anymore. Texas

(50:49):
HOA did this to a guy. Holmanner got a window
AC unit to deal with the Texas heat. Window unit
was in the back of the house, couldn't see it
from the street, but the HOA sent quote a friendly
reminder that window unit air conditioners are not allowed. Another
one got a letter from the HOA that his boat

(51:11):
was visible in the driveway and that he had to
erect a fence in front of the boat so that
they couldn't the neighbors couldn't see the boat. And the
list goes on and on. Six ' ten time for
traffic and weather together. I'm so glad I have a
h clouds and don't have an HOA. You do your
own HOA. Things come on my.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Truck on blocks. I could put my underwear up on
the fence if I want. It doesn't matter. So far,
we're looking on the north Freeway I forty five.

We're clean on the main lanes. Terry. I don't know
how I'm supposed.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
I gave this to Christina cruz Gerald from Conrod's Hogs
on the Feeder Road at three thirty six. I can't
figure out how to put this in your in car navigation,
but just watch out southbound. We're calling it loose livestock
and they should have that up shortly. It's thirty two
minutes now from Conrod to downtown nord Sim This was
a little unnatural. Usually I don't have that big of
a spackle this early with the roadwork. This is the

(52:01):
north sam at Aldane Westfield. But man, that is a
pure smush coming over from JFK westbound eastbound. It's getting
kind of thick in Imperial Valley. It must be a
lot of traffic as far as Bush Airport. And also
looking at your East Text are East Text elevated downtown.
It's a lot of breaks from minute made, but stay
the course. If that's you're right, it's actually not bad

(52:22):
for the sixty nine southbound lanes.

Mister cher parliamentary inquiry.

Speaker 10 (54:37):
You's got anything you want to say, mister Platel before
I go on to senatorly.

Speaker 46 (54:41):
Simply this, if the best attacks on me are going
to be false accusations and grotesque mischaracterizations, the only thing
this body is doing is defeating the credibility of the
men and women at the FBI. I stood with them
here in this country, in every theater of.

Speaker 28 (54:56):
War we have.

Speaker 14 (54:57):
I was on the ground in service of this nation.

Speaker 46 (54:59):
And accusations leveled against me that I would somehow put
political bias before the constitution are grotesquely unfair. And I
will have you reminded that I have been endorsed by
over three hundred thousand law enforcement officers to become the
next director of the FBI.

Speaker 30 (55:16):
Let's ask them, mister Chairman, I am quoting his own
words from September of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 14 (55:23):
It is his own words.

Speaker 5 (55:24):
It is not some conspiracy.

Speaker 30 (55:27):
It is what mister Pateel actually said himself, facts matter.

Speaker 16 (55:32):
You'll forget that you had three minutes in the next
round to say what you just said.

Speaker 22 (55:37):
Okay, I'll say him again.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
By the way, the facts, she's leaving a lot of
facts out. What he said about shutting down the FBI
is that he wants there's like eleven thousand agents in
the Washington, DC area that should be in other parts
of the country, closer to where the crime is. That's
what he meant by shutting down the FBI. Building six twenty.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
Since twenty two is our time here in Houston's morning news.
There's likely to be a Supreme Court decision at some
point on the Fourteenth Amendment because once President Trump put
that out there birth you know, is Executive Order on
birthright Citizenship that it's set about a whole firefight that's
going to be going through the federal court system. We've
already had one federal judge rule against him. Then again,

(57:48):
it's a you know, it's a progressive judge that did it.
Art Arthur joins US former immigration judge. Also the Center
for Immigration Studies are welcome to the show. I know
you're you're not a Supreme Court justice, but you were
an immigration judge. How would you interpret the fourteenth Amendment.

Speaker 15 (58:07):
Yeah, you know, it's funny when you say it like
that Supreme Court justice or one end of the spectrum,
and I was all the way down at the bottom
of the other one. But yeah, the fourteenth Amendment is
one of those things that everybody assumes, we understand, you know,
everybody who's born in the United States, born on US
oil as a United States citizen. But that's not actually

(58:27):
what the Fourteenth Amendment says. What the Fourteenth Amendment says
is every person born or naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, is a citizen of
the United States and the state in which they reside.
And it's that clause in the middle, subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, that is the equivocal clause. It's only really

(58:49):
ever been interpreted, you know, effectively once in an eighteen
ninety eight case called Wong Kim Ark and mister Wong
Kim RK was the child of two nineteenth century version
of Green Cart holders, so they were lawful permanent residents
of the United States. He was born in San Francisco
on Stockton Street. He left, went back to China, came back,

(59:12):
and they attempted to exclude and Supreme Court said, now
he's a United States citizen because he was born here.
The court in walk k Mark was a bit more expansive,
and they said, oh, yeah, everybody who's born here except
for diplomats and you know, places that are being invaded,
and you know, certain Indians are citizens. But that was
all dickta. That wasn't actually necessary to the holding of

(59:34):
the case. And yet in the last one hundred and
twenty seven years we've given out citizenship to tens of
millions of people based on what's probably an imperfect interpretation
of law. But it's important, Jimmy to understand what Trump
is attempted to do here. Trump isn't necessary, he is saying,
But you know, he's saying, we need to reconsider whether

(59:55):
everyone who's born here is a citizen. And by by
telling Social Security in the state department to stop issuing
so security cards and passports within thirty days, what he's
really doing is triggering that judicial review. You talked about
the judge up in Seattle. He was appointed in nineteen

(01:00:16):
eighty one when I was fifteen years old, by Ronald Reagan.
But you know, that is the first step in the
process that Donald Trump is actually inviting. He wants to
have the court's review this so that his administration can
make arguments for why the fourteenth Amendment isn't as expansive
as many people.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Claim the to device, well, it needs to go in
front of the Supreme Court. It we'll go, no doubt,
We'll go in front of the Supreme Court. And as
you said, what the President has done is triggered that
into motion. Do you think this is something that will
lend up being fast tracked to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 15 (01:00:47):
I think this is going to you know, and that's
a great question. They answered a lot about the Fourteenth amendment.
That's first time I got it. But it's a great question.
I actually think of all of the Trump cases that
are going to go to the Supreme Court the next
four years, that's probably going to be the slow US
because that's the one that legal scholars are going to
run a weigh in on. We're going to really want
to take a look at the floor debates back in
eighteen sixty eight, take a look at what the States

(01:01:10):
had to say when this was ratified. Think about this, Jimmy.
I can tell you, you know that you can't put colored
kerosene into a certain vehicle by law, but I can't
necessarily dispositively tell you who is the United States citizen
when they're born here. That's just exceptional when you consider,

(01:01:30):
you know, how important US citizenship is, how expansive it is,
how many benefits you get for being a citizen. This
is a question that is long overdue for being resolved,
and you know the process has started, but this.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Will be a slow process.

Speaker 15 (01:01:42):
I think this one's not going to make it to
the Supreme Court until probably twenty twenty seven or twenty
twenty eight.

Speaker 6 (01:04:41):
Trump did get another confirmation yesterday with Interior Secretary Doug Bergham,
but some of Trump's executive orders have been haunted by
Biden appointed federal judges. First of many legal fights for
the new administration.

Speaker 8 (01:04:55):
Political judges are expected to keep working on pushing Biden's
agenda over the next few years.

Speaker 32 (01:05:00):
You've got these politically motivated judges appointed by Biden, who
are absolutely going to make it tough for Trump to
get these initiatives through.

Speaker 8 (01:05:08):
Conservative attorney Michelle Maple says, this is something that Trump
is prepared for.

Speaker 32 (01:05:12):
This Trump administration and the federal attorneys who are now
on his team are ready and looking for a good
fight and going to do what's best for the American people.

Speaker 8 (01:05:21):

judges through repellate courts and change of venue motions. Ethan
Buchanan News Radio seven forty KTRI.

Speaker 6 (01:05:28):
By the way, Biden appointed two hundred and twenty eight
federal judges in his time in the White House, two
more than Trump did in his first term. State lawmakers
are getting their marching orders from the executive branch. As
Governor Greg Abbott delivers his State of the State address
on Sunday night, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick already put out
his top twenty five priority items for the Senate. GOP

It's now six thirty four. Well, that was quick. Illegal
border crossings are down ninety three percent already under Donald Trump.

It's complete one to eighty.

Twenty six year career as the Worbtor agent that we
had that few apprehensions of.

Speaker 12 (01:06:33):
Terrell County Sheriff thauteus Cleveland says President Trump has already
delivered on his promise to secure the border.

Speaker 35 (01:06:38):
The day President Trump was elected, we knew there was
going to be changed. That was an impact as it was,
because it takes a strong leader telling the rest of
the world, just like President Trump already has done, that
you're not going to come to our country illegally.

The left claims that Trump's moved to end birthright citizen
violates the fourteenth Amendment, but John Davidson at the Federalist
says there's going to be a showdown in the US
Supreme Court over this.

Speaker 37 (01:07:07):
We can't go on with this insane immigration policy that says,
if you manage to get over the Rio grand than
any children that are born here are automatically American citizens.

Speaker 5 (01:07:17):
That's crazy.

Speaker 37 (01:07:18):
There's no way that the framers of the fourteenth Amendment
intended that.

Speaker 15 (01:07:22):
Hopefully the Supreme Court will fix it.

Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
Meantime, Trump's executive order has been temporarily blocked by a
federal judge appointed by Joe Biden. In Seattle, Governor Greg
Gabbott has ordered Texas hospitals to ask patients about their
immigration status. Texas Democrats are defying that. Harris Health spokesperson
Olga Rodriguez claimed it this week's event hosted by Democrat

(01:07:45):
Euston Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia that patients don't have to answer
those questions. Six point thirty five. Now more proof that
the Biden Whitehouse lied to you about the state of
the economy. Fourth quarter, GDP came in lower than expectations
at two point three percent. It was supposed to come
in at around two point six percent. Reversing Biden's bad

(01:08:06):
economic policies is going to take some time, though. Economist
Van Skin says that executive orders can wipe out some
of the policies, but Congress has to help.

Speaker 40 (01:08:16):
There's also things that they should be doing on the
better reserve, putting more rules based.

Speaker 22 (01:08:19):
Policies in place. And there's also other things too.

Speaker 40 (01:08:21):
When you look at the Commnsumer Financial Protection Bureau the CFPB,
they put out a lot of final rules that will
hinder people being able to keep their data private.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
What happened, Why it happened, the information you need to
start the day.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Now back to Houston's Morning News six six thirty eight,
our time you hear on Houston This Morning News.

Speaker 13 (01:10:00):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
So, the analysis of what went wrong between that Blackhawk
helicopter and that American Airlines flight has begun. The presidents
weighed in and wants to know if DEI played a role.
In other words, that we have people in air traffic
control or doing other jobs that may have contributed to
a crash like this that we're not qualified to be
doing what they're doing. We do know that there were

(01:10:22):
some staffing issues at Rega National Airport. That's a very
busy airport. But here's a couple of pilots weighing in
on this. One of them is a commercial airline pilot.
His name is Joshua Sharah Sharano, parding Joshua Sharano and
also former Army helicopter pilot Elizabeth McCormick, of what they
think might have happened.

Speaker 44 (01:10:42):
So, the biggest flag for me was that they said
it was as soon as they said, a crew of three.

Speaker 34 (01:10:49):
On a training mission.

Speaker 44 (01:10:52):
And the final visual in a dense airspace, they really
should have had two crew chiefs, one on each side
to clear the back of the hepter in the view.
So to me, that was it wasn't the only reason,
the only issue, and the only cause, but it wasn't
was a contributing factor.

Speaker 47 (01:11:10):
Yeah, So when you get to planes like this that
are both technically via far there visual flight rules, I
mean the CRJA was cleared for a visual approach, which
means pilots are out looking at the runaway, they're looking
at the surrounding areas. And then of course the black
Hawk also on visual flight rules. So when you get
a situation where these helicopters are, these aircraft are getting close.

(01:11:30):
We even hear to the controllers come on and say,
you know, Pat twenty five the Blackhawk helicopter, do you
have the CRJ in sight?

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
And he says yes.

Speaker 47 (01:11:39):
At that point, the controllers take a little step back
and say, Okay, I understand they're close, but they can
see each other, so I'm assuming that they're going to
be able to see and avoid. The question is is
did the Blackhawk crew spot the right aircraft or did
they spot the correct aircraft? But at night, sometimes all
you're seeing is just a few position lights and landing lights.
It's fairly difficult to tell the travel of that aircraft

(01:12:02):
and you only have a few seconds to do that.
So extrapolating that very quickly and may not have been
able to understand where that aircraft is traveling in order
to make an escape maneuver.

Speaker 44 (01:12:10):
So watch the beginning part of the video there's a
there's another aircraft taking off. See that taking off? That's
the one. I believe the Blackhawks said they can see.
They did not see the one that was above and
behind them. So to me, the air traffic control typically
would say do you have the other aircraft at five o'clock?
Do you have the other aircraft at you were eleven o'clock?

(01:12:31):
And a little bit more clarity from the air traffic
controller if they had said do you have the one
at five o'clock and they're looking at the one at
eleven o'clock, they would know that the crewchu's stick in
his head out the window to get eyes on it,
and we'll see.

Speaker 14 (01:12:42):
Where it is.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
Oh, it sounds to me like air traffic control, which
is what the President was intimating in this press conference.
But we'll see six forty one tip for traffic and
weather together. Uh huh. You've discovered something, Skyline.

Speaker 4 (01:12:56):
You can always tell Lord Sam, I knew this wasn't
that usual. Back what we have from the roadwork at
Aldan Westfield.

Speaker 5 (01:13:03):
There it is.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
It's on camera now North Sam Hardy Toll Road. And
if you're playing the home game with me, it's on
camera one one zero eight this will take up a
right lane, and it looks like there's plenty of room.
It's more rubbernecking than anything else. Looks like we're backed
up from JFK westbound. If you're leaving the airport, and
if you're trying to catch a plane, you've got Imperial

(01:13:24):
Valley that roadwork on eastbound that takes the left lane.
If you hop over to the Hardy Airport connector that's
my secret hack. Or if you're coming from the Humble side,
of course, the will Clayton Parkway exit gets you around
all that business.

Speaker 5 (01:13:36):
Hi Nor Loop six ' ten.

Speaker 4 (01:13:38):
We're getting loopy in the squeeze at forty five right
there where there's two lanes. We're backed up on six
' ten north from I sixty nine. Kim from Leake
City is driving in from Granbury for some reason this morning.
Listening on the iHeartRadio app. And we'll check the Golf

Otherwise we're good. Most City Expressway all ninety. Those lights

Buffalo Speedway Skymike on the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
From our KTRH Generator super Center twenty four. Our weathers
Centator Terry Smith is here. The forecast is great. We
have zero complaints, no dot what nobody who's going to
complain about this.

Speaker 21 (01:14:21):
I'm marking this down this date in history, no weather complaints. Yeah,
I'm kind of tickled myself. And the best part is
Mother Nature is time this out. Well. We got the
little bit of rain yesterday, the skies will clear out today.
We'll see some sunshine later on today, and then we
got nothing but sunshine into Monday at this point.

Speaker 14 (01:14:42):
Sunshine and comfortably warm.

Speaker 21 (01:14:45):
Temperatures today and tomorrow upper sixties to low seventies on Sunday,
which is Groundhog Day, and Monday mid to upper seventies.
We may get a shower to Tuesday, but it doesn't
look like that much rain yet Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
But you're right now fifty four at your official severe
weather station, news Radio seven forty KTRH six forty nine
at a time. Here in Houston's borning, here's right. Cash
Betel's hearing yesterday, Democrats teaming up to try to take
him down. He did great They've all done great, and
I think that was part of the reason why each
of these people got the nominations they got, is that

(01:15:21):
they knew going in that they'd be able to stand
up to whatever the Democrats were going to throw up
against them. Here is Cash Betel going at it with
Senator Blumenthal.

Speaker 48 (01:15:30):
Will you commit that you will not tolerate the firing
of the FBI agents who worked with the Special Counsel's
Office on these investigations?

Speaker 46 (01:15:41):
Center, I appreciate the time to visit with you.

Speaker 48 (01:15:43):
It is a yes or no answer, and it is
your first test.

Speaker 14 (01:15:48):
Centator.

Speaker 46 (01:15:49):
Every FBI employee will be held to the absolute same
standard and no one will be terminated for cases.

Speaker 48 (01:15:54):
And I know I'm not going to accept that answer
because if you can't commit that those FBI agents will
be protected from political retribution, we can't accept you as
FBI director.

Speaker 46 (01:16:08):
All FBI employees will be protected against political.

Speaker 48 (01:16:11):
They deserve, those individuals deserve to be protected from Trump retribution.

Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
That was your first test.

Speaker 22 (01:16:19):
You failed it by saying all that protected.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
Yeah. Really, by saying, hang on, I just said all
f BEHIND bloyes will be protected. It's you just failed.
How's that a failure. I don't quite understand. Well, I
do understand, I just don't know how they think they
can get away with a six fifty time for traffic
and whether together all here comes problems in the canyons.

Speaker 4 (01:16:45):
Guy mo, Yeah, I got a tip I'm working here.
Is Cindy from Dayton just jumped in fifty.

Speaker 42 (01:16:50):
Nine seven out of a canyon four cars in an accident,
left hand lane starting to slush everything.

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
Huh, all right, that's going to be right after forty
five on the south. Oh yeah, look at sixty nine
coming down from the east tech Side lot. It breaks
now right from Liberty Street. So that's at least a
twenty minute smash here. All ninety people keep asking me
about it. It's signal problems the south Loop six ' ten,

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
You're reliable forecast next on the ten on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:18:31):
Yep, Well doesn't everybody? Then we prescribe drugs like w's business,
big pharma and doctors prescribing drugs especially for kids. Add
medication at me is crazy how many kids are on
add medication. So RFK Junior gets asked about that kind
of stuff from Senator Tommy Tubberville. Here's how that went.

Speaker 5 (01:18:49):
You know, I coached for forty years.

Speaker 38 (01:18:50):
In the last four or five years I coached, I've
never seen like the run on drugs our young people
are being given by doctors across this country. We have
them attention deaths problem in this country. You know, attention
deathsit When you and I are growing up, our parents.

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
Didn't use a drug.

Speaker 38 (01:19:07):
They used a belt, whipper butt, you know, until sit down. Nowadays,
we give them adderall in Redland, like candy across college
campuses and high school campuses.

Speaker 5 (01:19:19):
Christ Kenny, what were we going to do about that?

Speaker 22 (01:19:22):
Today?

Speaker 31 (01:19:24):
Fifteen percent of American kids are on adderall And there's
clearly a major problem with overprescription, not just with our children,
with our entire population. We take we are four point
two percent of the world's population, and we take fifty
percent of the pharmaceutical drugs. And there's a recent study

(01:19:46):
by Peter Gosch, who was one of the founders of
the Cochrane Collaboration, showed that prescription drugs are now the
third largest cause of death in our country after cardiac
arrested cancer. Oh, we're not getting healthy, you Americans are
getting less and less healthy. Seventy percent of pharmaceutical profits
will globally come from our country, which has four point

(01:20:09):
two percent of the world's population. We're the only country
that allows full scale pharmaceutical ads on TV. And we're
all being told you can make yourself, you can eat
anything you want, you can smoke anything you want, you
could do anything you want, and there'll be a drug
to fix you in the end. And it is not
a good formula. And our kids are getting sicker and sicker.

(01:20:33):
They're not getting better. Nobody here, all the people here
who are defending this current system and defending these pharmaceutical
industry profits, many of them are taking huge amounts of
money on the pharmaceutical industry, millions of dollars for many
of these senators, and none of them.

Speaker 14 (01:20:53):
This is not.

Speaker 31 (01:20:54):
Making our country healthier. It's makings sicker. We need to
get rid of these conflicts. We need good science, and
we need good leadership is able to stand up to
these big industries and not bend over for them.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
It's very strong. I mean, the most damning statistic from
that was four point two percent we make up the
United States makes a four point two percent of the
world's population, but we are using up fifty percent of
the prescription drugs. That is pretty amazing. All right, time
of the timeline, have one last four pack of tickets

Now.

Speaker 6 (01:24:46):
The arrests in Houston so far include a gang member
from El Salvador charged with terrorism. Operations are popular with Americans,
though not the mainstream media. Nearly sixty percent of likely
voters told RAS they approve, with forty percent signaling their
strong approval for what the Trump administration is doing. But

(01:25:07):
the resistance continues. Teachers' unions are telling their members how
to create ice free.

Speaker 14 (01:25:13):
Safe zones inside of their schools.

Speaker 8 (01:25:15):
Teachers that go out of their way to impede ICE
enforcement could face charges.

Speaker 9 (01:25:19):
If you harbor someone who's in the country illegally from
authorities that are trying to enforce the law, then then
you could be prosecuted for it.

They're focus on DEI and identity politics. It didn't do
anything to help student achievement.

Speaker 6 (01:26:12):
Jonathan Butcher with the Heritage Foundation says school choice does help,
but we may have already ruined an entire generation. There's
also trouble for recent college graduates too. They can't get hired.

Speaker 12 (01:26:24):
A competitive labor market and certain employer expectations isn't making
it easy.

Speaker 13 (01:26:29):
It wasn't so much that students were having trouble finding jobs.
It was that hiring managers didn't want to hire people
coming right out of college.

Speaker 12 (01:26:38):
Hiring and workplace expert Brenda Series says employers need to
ask the tough questions to potential employees, ask targeted.

He says he's still considering whether or not to include

five more violent crime across our area. A robbery suspect
now is in serious condition after jumping off a garage.
This was after shooting at Tombull police officers. This led
to a lockdown at the Tombull Hospital for a little while.
Here at home and as violent crime continues, we're learning

(01:28:57):
just how a Waller County inmate is escaped custody a
week ago. Salvador Sosato hasn't been seen since.

Speaker 19 (01:29:04):
Walder County Sheriff's office tells us that Salsato freed himself
by using a medical tool to pick his handcuffs. After that,
they know he ran to a nearby rural area. At
this point, Waller County believes one of two things happened.
Salsato died in the winter storm that blanketed the area
last week and his remains just haven't been found, or
Salsato received help and is either still hidden in the area,

(01:29:27):
or he has left all together.

News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (01:30:32):
I live in Conrad, I live in deer Park.

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Next on the ten You're Reliable Forecast on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
Seven. Oh, wait our time here on Houston's boring news. Right,
it looks like San Antonio is going to do the
same thing that Houston did and every other major city
in America seems to be doing, which is to waste
millions of dollars studying a problem that you really can't
afford to do anything about. Racist roads. Yeah, they're looking

(01:31:04):
at I thirty five in San Antonio and they're saying
it's a racist road because it was put right through
the dividing line between white San Antonio and black San
Antonio and there weren't any bridges to walk over to
get from one side of the expressway to the other
because they didn't want black people coming over to the

(01:31:25):
white side. Well, there may be some truth to that
back in the day, but now they're what they're talking
about doing is taking just like they were talking about
for I forty five, burying it underneath You know how
much money that costs. Bury it underneath the grounds so

(01:31:47):
that you can build on top of it and restore
those areas or make it more walkable. I guess the
question is how many people need to use these pedestrian
bridges do you have to do you have to bury
the expressway to put in more pedestrian bridges if you're
having a problem with people being able to walk one
side the express way of the other. Put put in

(01:32:08):
some more pedestrian bridges. It's a lot cheaper than burying
the expressway and two million dollars to study the problem.
If you know there's a problem, what do you have
to study it for? Just fix the problem. And there's
only some much you can do to fix it. You're
gonna reroute the expressway. You're going to bury it, and
spend billions of dollars in order to do that, to

(01:32:30):
try to ride a wrong from the nineteen fifties when
the National Highway System was put into effect. You know,
cities did that back then. They would they would put
highways through the worst parts of town, or what they
considered to be the worst parts of town. I mean,
nobody wants a highway going through their backyard, right, so
you put it in somebody else's backyard that you don't

(01:32:50):
really care about. That's that's that's how it's done back
in the day. There's some things you can do to
fix it, but I mean, you're not gonna spend billions
of dollars to try to bring back neighborhoods that no
longer exist are not going to come back. Even if
you do are you seven ten time for traffic and
weather together. Skybike's got the latest on your drive.

Speaker 4 (01:33:09):
We did clear that north sam a while back. The
spackle at all Dean Westfield. It's roadwork, but we also
had an accident right in that zone, and we're still
kind of smushed up coming over from JFK. This is
westbound eastbound. You have the roadwork at eastbound. You have
the roadwork at Imperial Valley up that's the left lane.
I never know where Uber Mike is going to call from.

Look up the guy, Mike dude right before Bela eight

Speaker 11 (01:33:39):
In front of me.

Speaker 4 (01:33:40):
All right, look out on the inbound and I do
see a bit of a smush, and let me let
the rest of the media know about that.

Speaker 28 (01:33:45):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:33:45):
Look at that six ' ten north loop. Nobody needs
all those break lights. Right at the squeeze at forty five,
we're loopy all the way from hirsh If you're trying
to go from waystside that way, you lose fifteen minutes
this way. I have forty five southbound the pier salivated
slowed after the beast someone bridge. We had we cleared
the wreck in the canyon southbound. That was I sixty nine,

(01:34:07):
right after forty five. By the way, Ben from Katie.
He's a cougar and he says, what on earth is
the canyon? That's that big recessed concrete area between forty
five and to idiot downtown. If you look at it,
it looks like a canyon. I got Melanie from Lamark

Speaker 21 (01:34:54):
Yeah, it's a nice little dosa spring I mean here,

All the info you need did take on the day.
So you know, we've got ice rays going on here
in Houston. As Cliff has been telling you during our
newscast all morning long. They're not going after quote unquote
innocent people, although again if you were here illegally, you're
not exactly innocent they're going, but they are going they're
going after gang members in Terrace. I don't think there's
any reason to believe that ICE is going to start

(01:36:03):
rating our public school system. But the National Education Association
in American Federation of Teachers have published guides telling schools
staff how to help illegals evade ICE. So they are
asking their school employees to help circumvat the Trump immigration measures.

(01:36:24):
They are actively doing this. We'll have more than that story.

Speaker 3 (01:37:43):
Well, they're not working on classroom sizes anymore. They're working
on circumventing Trump's immigration policies. Seven twenty two is their time.
The NEA National Education Association and the AFT, the American
Federation of Teachers, have guides showing schools staff how they
can help illegals. Have eight ice join us to talk
about Ronald Hotello. He's senior advisor to Customs and Border Patrol.

(01:38:06):
I'm not surprised, ron but I guess the question becomes,
you know, are all schools subject to following the guidelines
of the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers,
or do you think we have, especially here in Texas,
that we have you know, teachers and staff that understand
the problem and would not want to participate in something

(01:38:27):
like this.

Speaker 10 (01:38:29):
Yeah, we just wonder like what they're spending their time
and their effort on. You know, this is this is
federal law. You know, enforcing immigration is good. Enforcing immigration,
having a system with integrity is good for all Americans.
You know, many of us have an immigration background that
you know, we were allowed in the United States, Uh,
through the generosity of Americans. And that system is supposed

(01:38:50):
to work for the people of the country, not for
those that are coming in. And so these teachers, uh,
these unions should focus more on their own performance. They
focus more on what they're doing for their children, versus
trying to push back on the legal implementation of immigration
enforcement across the United States. President Trump promised the American

(01:39:13):
people that he was going to secure the border and
make our streets safer and deport millions of people who
were let in during the previous administration. To the tune
of over eleven million by government records. That doesn't count
the people we know who entered the border, who came
uninvited to the United States and.

Speaker 11 (01:39:32):
Were never seen by law enforcement.

Speaker 10 (01:39:34):
So there's a lot to do on the deportation front.
There's a lot to do on our southwest border. And
these teachers should be considering how well their kids read,
how well they do math, and how they can be
productive members of our society through the public education system.
That's why parents in Texas, Florida and other red states

(01:39:57):
are moving away from public schools and incur urging their
governments to provide portability for the tax money that we
give to schools so that these kids can go to
places that focus on education and not rhetoric or political ideology.

Speaker 3 (01:40:15):
Ron If you are let's say you're a teacher and
you just decide to participate in this and you are
following this little handbook and you are in contact with
a parent that you know to be an illegal alien
regarding their school child, and you're passing this information along
to them, are you breaking federal law by doing that?

Speaker 10 (01:40:35):
Well, you're right up to the line against it. I mean,
if you take physical action in that regard, then you
are breaking the law, and it is it's important for
people to know that the laws that ICE is enforcing,
the arrests that they're making are people who are criminals
in the United States are also in the country illegally.
I'm not sure why teachers, mayors, and jurisdictions would care

(01:40:59):
to protect people who have come to the country uninvited,
committed crimes in their own jurisdictions, in their own neighborhoods.
It is destructive as public policy, and to your point,
it's running right up against the aiding and a betting
statutes again that are bipartisan in the Immigration and Nationality

(01:41:20):
Act in our Criminal.

Speaker 3 (01:41:21):
Code, and unfortunately, I think the only way you prevent
people from participating in something like that is if you're
willing to bring those charges, and of course that's not
likely to happen. Do you think there's any chance. I mean,
I can understand if a school is concerned that there'd
be an ICE rate on their school. I mean, nobody
wants that going on. I've been think in the public
school system, but I don't think we would ever see

(01:41:42):
that anyway. As you've already illustrated, as we've already found
out here in Houston. They're resting gang members and known
people with terrorist ties. Those are the people that are
going after.

Speaker 10 (01:41:53):
And we've had brief periods of history of immigration enforcement
over many presidents. I start when President Reagan was the president.
And we've never seen, and we don't know of your
tale of school raids or sweeps or arrests in mass

(01:42:14):
at public schools in the United States. It doesn't happen.
The Left has succeeded in a number of things. They
traffic in fear and outrage, and they've succeeded in convincing
a significant number of Americans that coming into the country
without being invited, without being inspected, and without being let
in therefore illegally it's not a crime. It certainly is

(01:42:35):
a crime. It's a federal crime, and it's a violation
of the administrative statues in the Immigration and Nationality Act,
which was passed many decades ago bipartisanly through the Congress
and signed by a president. Those laws exist on the books,
and failure to enforce them gives us the kinds of
things like this radical gang trend Aragua from Venezuela was

(01:42:58):
wreaking havoc all over the United State dates and they
have not been in the United States for more than
a couple of years. This is a phenomenon that started
under the last administration and is putting us all at
risk at every city in town in the United States.
And these folks are very vulnerable to removal from government enforcement.
We saw this raid near Denver, Colorado, where they were

(01:43:20):
just out in the middle of nowhere partying. There were
fifty people arrested. Forty of them were in the country
illegally and all been here from Venezuela. We're a great
risk from what happened over the last four years. And again,
these teachers and even students in some parents, they need
to focus on making their kids productive members of society.

Speaker 3 (01:43:41):
Do your dad, trafficking in this fear is not education.

In our top story, Democrats came out firing in three
of President Donald Trump's cabinet picks yesterday, but Tulca Gabbert
Cash Mittel an RFK Junior fired right back.

Speaker 29 (01:45:56):
What truly unsettles my political opponents is I refuse to
be their puppet.

Speaker 5 (01:46:01):
I would love to have five hours of question.

Speaker 22 (01:46:03):
You've got two minutes.

Speaker 31 (01:46:04):
Almost all the members of this panel are, including yourself,
are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry oh
protect their interests.

Speaker 14 (01:46:14):
RFK Junior going after Bernie Sanders there.

Speaker 6 (01:46:17):
Meantime, another cabinet member is seated, with Doug Bergham confirmed
as Interior Secretary. We know that Trump is trying to
reshape the federal government left to do the same thing
with the judiciary.

Speaker 14 (01:46:29):
Again.

Speaker 6 (01:46:29):
That's because Joe Biden appointed more federal judges than Trump
did in his first term.

Speaker 32 (01:46:34):
What these administrations look to do is they look to
appoint young judges so that they can keep their quote
unquote legacy alive.

Speaker 6 (01:46:43):
Legal analyst Michelle Maple says will continue to feel the
effects of Biden's presidency for years.

Speaker 15 (01:46:50):
Here at home.

Speaker 6 (01:46:51):
Texas lawmakers are getting an earfull from the governor and
Lieutenant governor this weekend.

Speaker 33 (01:46:55):
Who tod that Governor Dan Patrick has released his first
twenty five priorities for the Texas They include things like
school choice, property tax relief, and hiring more state troopers.
G will be consultant Matt MCCOVEYAC says this puts new
House Speaker Dustin Burrows on the spot.

Speaker 34 (01:47:09):
The big question of this session is just going to
be is Burrow's going to lead the House in a
different way than Dave fail and did. And I think
he knows they need to pass orcheserver bills this time.
Will it be every single one of those things Governor
Patrick's priorities? I suspect not, but it'll be most of them.

Speaker 33 (01:47:21):
Governor Greg Gabbott is expected to outline his priority items
for the legislature in his State of the State address
on Sunday. Corey 'lson News Radio seven forty KTRH it's.

Speaker 14 (01:47:29):
Now seven thirty four. Well, that didn't take long.

Speaker 6 (01:47:32):
Border Patrol says illegal crossings are down a wopping ninety
three percent since Donald Trump took office.

Speaker 35 (01:47:39):
As we continue to fortify the border, add that technology,
add the infrastructure, and then that augmentation of manpower with
the Department Defense, We're going to see the cartels get
more brazen. We're going to start, you know, shutting their
pathways down.

Speaker 6 (01:47:52):
Tererld County Sheriff that as Cleveland says, Trump's leadership will
lead to the southern border being secure. Meantime, the left
is continuing to fight the president's order ending birthright citizenship.

Speaker 36 (01:48:03):
John Davidson, senior editor at The Federalist, says it's not right.

Speaker 37 (01:48:08):
That is not what the Fourteenth Amendment citizenship clause means.
The idea of birthright citizenship is a very bad misreading
and erroneous interpretation of the citizenship clause.

Speaker 5 (01:48:20):
So how will this play out?

Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
It'll probably go to the Supreme Court. It needs to
go to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 36 (01:48:26):
A liberal judge in Seattle blocked the order last week.
Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty k t H. Local
Democrats are also finding orders on immigration. A Harris Health
spokesperson claimed in an event this week hosted by Democrat
Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia that patients don't have to answer questions
about their immigration status, but an executive order from the

(01:48:49):
governor requires hospitals get that information.

Speaker 14 (01:48:52):
It's seven thirty five.

Speaker 40 (01:48:54):
Ay.

Speaker 6 (01:48:54):
Do you remember how the Biden administration kept telling you
the economy was strong. Well, the numbers say something different.
Fourth quarter GDP came in lower than expectations yesterday, two
point three percent, slower than the growth of three point
one percent that we had in the third quarter of
last year. So the President clearly has his work cut

(01:49:14):
out for him to reverse the Biden economic disaster, but
he does have a clear path on how to do it.

Speaker 39 (01:49:20):
It really started with Obama in two thousand and eight,
but Biden carried the torch.

Speaker 40 (01:49:24):
Putting more restrictions on how much can be lent out
by banks, especially hurting the smaller banks and the credit unions.
That's one thing that I think they should eliminate. As
a Dodd Frank bill er, at least roll a lot
of those regulations back.

Speaker 39 (01:49:35):
Economist Van Skin says they should also be addressing the
Fed's policies, and while he can fix most with executive orders,
Congress needs to pitch in by rolling.

Speaker 40 (01:49:43):
Back or even ending the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which
is just another layer of regulation.

Speaker 39 (01:49:48):
He says, this is a step toward making things affordable
for families again. Andre Perard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:49:57):
The black boxes from the plane crash this week that
killed six seven people near Oregan National Airport have been recovered. Meantime,
a preliminary FAA report shows that staffing at air traffic
control at the tower was quote not normal. There's new
data from Triple A showing that the travel industry is
roland at the Port of Galveston. The Island terminals are

(01:50:18):
Texas's only cruise port and the eighth busiest cruise port
in the world.

Speaker 41 (01:50:22):
In twenty twenty four, a total of three point four
million passengers moved through Galveston's three cruise terminals, which was
a record for the port's twenty five year history.

Speaker 6 (01:50:33):
Triple A's Dug Shoop says the port is projecting more
than four hundred cruise ship sailings and three point six
million passengers this year seven thirty seven. The Rockets lose
to Memphis one twenty to one nineteen, and the Buckets
expansion continues in other states. The convenience store chain is
about to open a fourth location in Florida.

Speaker 14 (01:50:53):

the one in Luling, which is currently at seventy five
thousand feet. Come on, BUCkies, I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's news,
weather and Traffic station KTRH Traffic and Weather.

Speaker 3 (01:51:11):
When you need it most every ten minutes on the tens.

Speaker 2 (01:51:14):
This is Houston's morning News with Jimmy Barrett tan the
Houston Morning News.

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
Team seven thirty eight at time year in Houston's Morning News. So,
Jake Tappers, you're probably well aware at this point, is
leaving CNN. He's they basically offered him the like a
late night midnight type of show. They were going to
take him off the show he's on, and so yeah,
that was enough to get him a quit, which obviously
they wanted him to do. And on his way out

(01:51:41):
the door, he's having even more fun. Then again, you
book Steven Miller on your show and you're going to
talk to him about illegal immigration and migrants and what
they're doing in this country and jobs that Americans won't do.
I mean, how often do you hear that one? Then
then you gotti pretty much got this coming. So here

(01:52:03):
is Stephen Miller putting Jake Tapper in his place, with
some reaction from Greg Guttfeld.

Speaker 50 (01:52:08):
The Department of Agriculture says that between twenty and twenty
twenty two, forty two percent of crop workers were undocumented immigrants,
and in many cases, as you know, these migrants do
jobs many Americans do not want to do.

Speaker 51 (01:52:22):
I'm sure it's not your position, Jake, you're just asking
the question that we should supply America's food with exploitative
illegal alien labor. Obviously, don't think that's what you're implying.
Only one percent of alien workers in the entire country
work in agriculture. The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought
into our country are not full stop doing farm work.

(01:52:42):
They are not the illegal aliency brought in from Venezuela,
from Haiti, from Ni Karuapua.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
They are not doing farm work.

Speaker 1 (01:52:49):
They are in our cities collecting welfare, nice and so.

Speaker 15 (01:52:57):
And so.

Speaker 30 (01:52:58):
Taber believes illegals do what Americans don't want to do.

Speaker 3 (01:53:02):
But sorry, Jake, even they won't watch CNN.

Speaker 46 (01:53:08):
But as always, you also have the grand standing political
hacks going against what America wants.

Speaker 5 (01:53:13):
Here's Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye.

Speaker 52 (01:53:16):
I want to speak directly to people who are undocumented.
We love you, we will stand up for you, and
we will do anything in our power to help. Because
you're not an alien in our city, you're a neighbor.
Our police officers will not be cooperating with federal law
enforcement around federal immigration law.

Speaker 53 (01:53:38):
We enforce state and local laws here. It is for
cooperation with Ice, the answer is no, mant. We have
to stop electing theater kids to government. That guy should
be hosting Blues Clues. So now, whether this funding freeze
works or not, at least America is finally seeing the

(01:53:58):
grift at work.

Speaker 3 (01:54:00):
Trump does it again.

Speaker 14 (01:54:01):
He pulls that curtain back, and now you start to
understand how we got to this place.

Speaker 5 (01:54:05):
And it's so ugly you'd think you're watching.

Speaker 3 (01:54:07):
The view that Minneapolis mayor is just he's just the
quintessential blue city mayor. I mean, that's that's that's what
you're that's what you're up against in this administration and
with Ice in trying to get some cooperation, and all
they're trying to do right now is to get gangsters

(01:54:27):
and terraces off the streets. Seven forty one time for
traffic and weather. Together, we're checking out the drive once again.
Hey Sky Mike, Hey Katie.

R Rates listeners were the first to know about this, right,
Thank you, Uber Mike. Two ninety outbound at Guestner. It's
a center lane. It's outbound, not inbound. That's why the
backup is minimal. But you might want to take the
Katie Freeway if you're trying to go west instead or
to forty nine six ' ten north man, Why are
you so tough this morning? Westbound at forty five, just
trying to get through the squeeze. A lot of breaks

There's a traffic light problem at the south Loop again.

to burn off before we end up with most of
the sunny skies.

Right.

Speaker 14 (01:55:53):
It's gonna take a little while. I was just checking
out the satellite here.

Speaker 21 (01:55:56):
We got some some high clouds streaming through, but they're
on their way out of town. We're going to wind
up sunny and dry for most of the weekend. The
temperatures just slightly cooler today and tomorrow, upper sixties to
low seventies. Really pleasant here for this last day of
January and for the first day of February, and then

(01:56:16):
it gets warmer Sunday and Monday in the midtupper seventies,
and we may get a shower to Tuesday, but you
know what, most of us won't see any wet weather Tuesday.

South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (01:56:39):
You knows a lot of interesting hearings here over the
last couple of days, but I found yesterday's RFK Junior
nomination hearing maybe the most interesting because they got into
specifics of you know, how many of us in this
country are around prescription medications. How how that we only
have four point two percent center of the world's population,

(01:57:02):
but we use fifty percent of the world's drugs, which
I think tells you that we are being over prescribed
perhaps a lot of medication in this country. And doctor
ran Paul, Senator Ran Paul gave his colleagues a lecture
being open minded on things like vaccines and COVID and

(01:57:22):
autism in particular. I'll share some of that with you
coming up next. First, though, we've got traffic and weather
together as we check out the drive once again to Skymike.

Speaker 4 (01:57:29):
We've got main lane problems and signals causing some havoc too.
Let's go to the North sam Ooh, something just popped
up there and Twine here it is. I'm going to
zoom it and twine eastbound. They're calling that the North

Speaker 3 (01:59:03):
Seven fifty three, Our time here in Houston's borning news.
The spectrum, of course, referring to autism, and you can
be in a lot of places on the spectrum with autism.
You know, we have a very very mild case of it,
all the way up to something very severe. We still
don't know what causes autism. We have more kids with
autism than ever before. And that's one of the topics

(01:59:25):
that Ran Paul brought up in talking to his senators.
He asked them to humble themselves a little bit. We
don't know all the answers. Don't have these preconceived ideas
about autism and vaccines and all those types of things.
Have an open mind, here's rand Paul.

Speaker 43 (01:59:40):
But on autism, there's no good science of anything to
show what causes autism.

Speaker 22 (01:59:45):
We don't know.

Speaker 43 (01:59:46):
It's a profound disease. I know many moms here and
dads who have kids with autism. I know them personally,
I've met their kids. But the thing is is they
saw their kids developing completely normal, maybe speaking one hundred words,
go to no words at about fifteen months of age.

Speaker 22 (02:00:02):
Now, there isn't proof. There isn't proof that the vaccines
cause it. That's true. There isn't proof that it calls it.
But we don't know what.

Speaker 14 (02:00:08):
Causes it yet.

Speaker 43 (02:00:08):
So shouldn't we be at least open minded? We take
seventy two vaccines.

Speaker 5 (02:00:12):
Could it be?

Speaker 22 (02:00:13):
I don't know, But we shouldn't just close the door
and say we're no longer. Because we believe so much
in submission, we're not going to have an open mind
to study these things.

Speaker 43 (02:00:21):
And so it's sort of this crazy notion schizophrenia I
would put in the same notion. You have a kid
who's completely normal to eighteen or nineteen and their brain
goes heywire?

Speaker 5 (02:00:31):
How does that happen? It's the most bizarre disease.

Speaker 22 (02:00:34):
Shouldn't we be open Could it.

Speaker 5 (02:00:36):
Be our food?

Speaker 22 (02:00:38):
It might be vaccines, It might be our food. But
autism is more common.

Speaker 43 (02:00:42):
I don't know about the schizophrenia statistics, but autisms more common.

Speaker 22 (02:00:44):
Should we want to be open minded instead?

Speaker 43 (02:00:47):
We're so closed minded and we're so consensus driven that
the science says this, Well, science doesn't say anything.

Speaker 22 (02:00:53):
Science is a dispute, and ten years from now we
could all be wrong. We were told in the beginning.

Speaker 43 (02:00:59):
Twenty years there need this enormous study, and they said
everybody over fifty should take an aspirin.

Speaker 22 (02:01:04):
I thought, well, it's a pretty good idea. This makes sense.

Speaker 43 (02:01:06):
But you know what, twenty years later they measured it
and they found if you had no heart disease and
you were taking asper, your chance of dying from a
brain bleed or from a stomach.

Speaker 22 (02:01:14):
Bleed were greater than the risk of heart disease.

Speaker 43 (02:01:17):
You have heart disease, they still say take an aspirin
if you don't have changed your mind twenty years later.
But would you have all said I was crazy and
I should no longer be in public discourse if I
had said twenty years ago, I.

Speaker 22 (02:01:27):
Don't feel like taking an asp for I ride my
bike all the time. I'm afraid I might hit my head.
But that's what country's about, what dissent is about.

Speaker 43 (02:01:34):
So just ask you to look at the larger picture
and give the guy break who says I just want
to follow the science where it leads without presupposition. I
think really what we have up here is presupposition. You've
already concluded it's absolute that autism isn't caused by it.

Speaker 22 (02:01:49):
We don't know what causes autism, so we should be
more humble than what we say. Sorry, I didn't get to.

Speaker 3 (02:01:54):
A questions didn't really need to. He made the state
and he wanted to. I mean, looking for fairness. Why
why can't you be fair with R F K Junior?
Why do you think you know all the answers. We
don't have all the answers on autism and vaccines. We
just don't listen. You'll have a great weekend. See you
Monday morning, bright at early five am, and I'll see
I hope this after four on AM nine fifty KPRC
