current resolution is adopted.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
President Trump's Big Beautiful Budget bill passes two hundred and
seventifteen to two hundred and fifteen, with Kentucky's Thomas Massey
the only Republican to vote against it. Package now heads
to the Senate, but only after it goes through several
House committees, who will put the final tip it more
Democrat obstruction on Doze, as a Biden appointed federal judge

(02:05):
blocks it from accessing Department of Education records, but a
new poll shows eighty percent approve of DOJ's missing.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
More on that.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
At five thirty five h two, the crackdown on illegal
immigration continues with DHS Secretary Christy Noam announcing a brand
new illegal alien registry.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Within thirty days of being in this country illegally, someone
must register with the federal government. They will be fingerprinted,
they must announce that they are here.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
No I'm telling Fox that failure to register would result
in quote, serious consequences. And then there's the President announcing
what he calls a gold card visa for foreign investors.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
We're going to be putting a price on that card
of about five million dollars, and that's going to give
you Green cord privileges.

Speaker 8 (02:50):
Plus it's going to be a route to citizenship.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
This would replace the current EB five immigrant investor program.

There are several of them.

Speaker 11 (03:17):

There's one that was convicted of either homicide or murder.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Borders Our Tom Holman and the man accused in December
shooting at Katie Mills Mall, Aaron Noah Chavez. He goes
to court next week. But here's what you don't do.
His lawyers are going to great lengths to make sure
you don't find out who he really is. Among the
motions filed a requests for private pre trial hearings.

Speaker 12 (03:41):
This is a.

Speaker 13 (03:41):
Normal tool defense attorneys tool used to try to brush
under the rug how terrible your client actually is.

Speaker 14 (03:49):
Attorney Michelle Maple says, what's really surprising is the attempt
to block discussions of Chevez his immigration status.

Speaker 13 (03:55):
The fact that they're sort of making a kerfuffle about
immigration status.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
You everything you need to know, So this.

Speaker 13 (04:02):
Is probably going to backfire on the defense.

Speaker 14 (04:04):
Mabel says, if Chavez was in the country illegally at
the time of the shooting, the public has a right
to know. Ethan Buchannan News Radio seven forty KTRI.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
At five ZHO four fort Ben County Judge KP. George
claims he's been the victim of abuse of power, so
now he's calling for the DA and the judge in

an assistant Waring dited last year charged with making fraudulent
social media profiles attacking his own campaign New hash County DA.

(04:34):
Sean Tier has had several issues in his two months
on the job. We had the UH rape suspect, release,
a capital murder suspect who was mistakenly led out of
jail in multiple cases being dropped due to lack of evidence.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
So what's going on here?

Speaker 15 (04:49):
As a Democrat, I think he's concerned that citizens who
accused of crimes are not treat unfairly.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
So there's a.

Speaker 15 (04:55):
Balance thing out there, and he's going to have to
resolve that.

Speaker 16 (04:57):
If you're worried.

Speaker 15 (04:58):
About political pressure from the I was pulling you in
one direction or the other, that could create problems for
you down the line.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Attorney Gary polland there Tier will join Jimmy to answer
these questions at six twenty. And then there are Houston's
infrastructure issues. Public works as a massive backlock of work
orders after the scandal inside public Works, and that.

Speaker 17 (05:19):
Was allowed to happen because there wasn't any oversight by
that previous administration. And of course now we find ourselves
in a hole because of all the work it didn't
get done and all the money.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
That we spent, Former City council member Greg Travis telling
KTRH the backlog could be taken care of in a
month if the city wasn't broke five h five Looking
at your money, consumer confidence had its sharpest drop since
August of twenty twenty one. KTRH moneyman Patchin says, if
you believe the University of Michigan's new polling, this is political.

Speaker 18 (05:49):
Consumer confidence among Republicans has gone straight up, while on
the flip side, it has gone literally straight down for Democrats.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
In other words, Trump derangement syndrome. And with the price
of eggs skyrocketing getting out of control, some families are
turning to a literally more homegrown solution.

Speaker 10 (06:10):
Thank you.

Speaker 19 (06:10):
Our chicken farming has been around for a while as
a hobby, but some consumers are now trying it as
a way to save money.

Speaker 20 (06:17):
You're going to get a dozen eggs a week. You're
going to need three to six laying hens chickens to
produce that, and there's going to be costs associated with that.

Speaker 19 (06:27):
Gary Joynder with the Texas Farm Bureau and says, on
top of the cost of buying a chicken, coop plan
on twenty five to fifty bucks per month per chicken.
There are online companies that will deliver the entire setup,
including two chickens and feed for six months for five
hundred bucks. Eric Sharpning's Radio seven forty kilra.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Thank you, Eric, and his tax season continues a warning
about a scam from the Better Business Bureau Coast rather
ghost preparers.

Speaker 12 (06:52):
Who are going to have you pay the feed that
they have to preparing, and then they're going to try
to put their bank information for their account information and
some of the money comes back to them.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Cameron Nakashima with the Better Business Bureau says, you need
to be aware of any tax advisor who says he
or she will help you get the biggest and fastest refund.
Five oh seven, the Rockets beat Milwaukee one hundred to
ninety seven. They host the Spurs tonight pregame at seven
thirty on Sports Talk seven ninety. I Cliff Saunders on
Houston's news, weather and traffic station KTRH under the.

Speaker 21 (07:25):
Orders I signed today, even here for the very latest,
all of this will change starting today on Youth Radio
seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
All right, so the CDC is all about the World
Health Organization. Evidently they are sending a contingent down to
meet with the World Health Organization to talk about vaccine
regulations and pharmaceutical companies to help develop, produce, and license
flu vaccines over the next several months. RFK, junior than

(08:01):
President Trump, had basically told them, uh, no, we aren't
going to go with the World Health Organization. There's no
need for you to attend this. We are quitting the
World Health Organization. Under by the way executive orders, the
CDC was banned from communicating with World Health Organization as

(08:24):
the US started to withdraw from it. Trump, citing the
UN agency's failings during COVID close ties to China is
the main reasons for his government's exit. However, a person
or a spokesperson I should say, for the CDC said
that members from the organization will be quote actively participating virtually.
Oh they're not traveling, but we're going to actively participate

(08:48):
virtually at the World Health Organization Vaccine Consultation Meeting for
the recommendation of viruses for the twenty twenty five Northern
twenty twenty five twenty six Northern Hemisphere Vaccine. It's a
week long meeting. It began on Monday, with leaders from
both the CDC and FDA in attendance. Prior to the meeting,
the two government agencies would have had to seek an

(09:10):
exemption from the Trump administration to physically go there twice Angually,
World Health Organization organizes consultations with an advisory group of
experts to analyze global flu data. Are these the ones
that sit down and say, Okay, this is the strain
of the flu we need to be prepared for this year.
Here's how we're going to prepare our vaccines. And then

(09:31):
they are successful about twenty five percent of the time,
because maybe they need to come up with a different
way of trying to figure that one out. If we're
going to, you know, if we're going to follow recommendations
for what do we do we need the World Health
Organization to tell us what viruses are going on around
the world. Do we really need to be a part
of that. If we certainly don't seem to want to

(09:54):
be a part of any organization that wants to participate
in things like, you know, a worldwide pandemic lockdown, they
think we look, hopefully we learned our lesson from that
five ten time for traffic and weather. Together answer to
the world. The world answers to usky By We're America.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
That's a bumper sticker right there, Jimmy, don't you think
we need a bumper sticker? Let's do. Let's see. Let's
go around the horn. First of all, I'm hearing some
stuff about visibility in some spots. I want to take
you down to the causeway and I've got some roadwork
going on now. They may put this in high gear
after morning rush drive off the causeway coming up from Galveston.
I've got something showing up on the online of roadwork.

(10:30):
I don't believe it. I'll zoom that at the five
to ten break just to make sure. But I think
i'd see a lot more suckage coming off the island
if it was real.

Speaker 22 (10:37):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
From Tiki to BUCkies, the roadwork, the little skinny lanes,
the text dot wall o death and we look good
from League City up now thirty one minutes. Let's check
your forty five north tip line seven one three, two

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Leaning Green all the way to about Harty Cole Road,
and then the ball is mtling down Spring level.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Prior to that string light level.

Speaker 23 (11:03):
So it's pretty froggy all the way down the ship
returb and beyond.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Center from r KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four hour
where the center Terry is here. Faud patterns a little
different this morning, though, I got go oh yeah, I
call I come in from the north. It's really foggy
to the north. It is you get towards the city
that it thins out quite a bit.

Speaker 24 (11:34):
It's very interesting, you know, yesterday we had that blanket
of fog, and today we have that kind of what
we'd call patche fog where it's showing up in some
spots and not others. And you're right, it's mainly north,
east and west of the Harris County area, but we're
seeing the dense fog advisory near Waller County, Austin, Colorado, Washington, Jackson,

(12:00):
all those areas maybe running into some visibility issues where
visibility is a quarter mile or less this morning, now,
just like yesterday, whatever fog is out there is going
to dissipate by about mid morning. We're going to wind
up with sunshine. We are going to wind up with
some warm temperatures today in the seventies for everybody. Tomorrow

(12:23):
cold fronts comes through, not a lot of cold air
with it, but maybe a little less humidity. We're still
going to be cloudy, a dry day, temperatures load to
mid seventies, and Friday is a beautiful day, sunny load
of mid seventies. Weekends also looking dry, and temperatures over
the weekend anywhere from the mid seventies to low eighties.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Right now fifty three at your official some mere weather station,
News radio seven forty KTRH. Right, we go back in
time and we go forward in time. We do it
twice a year. It's called daylight saving time. And every
year more and more states debate whether or not they
want to have either permanent daylight saving time, permanent standard time,

(13:07):
or want to keep the status quo. And it's getting ridiculous.
It's time for some sort of a national plan to
go into effect. Here otherwise, you know, we're going to
end up with half the country in a different time
zone than the other half of the It's going to
be crazy. Not that we aren't already in different time zones.
You get the idea. So the state's pushing for permanent
daylight saving time right now are Maine, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland,

(13:29):
North Carolina, Illinois, and Iowa. Nearly two dozen other states,
including California, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, proposed making standard time permanent.
Forty eight percent of Americans like the idea of making
a year round time no more switching back for daylight
saving time. Only nineteen percent of the survey takers insisted

(13:53):
they would oppose the potential change. Thirty three percent had
no opinion. Whether there's one thing I know about my
fellow Texans. We have an opinion, and it's time somebody
asks you your opinion. So here's what you do. iHeartRadio
App Question of today, KTRH. That's right, iHeart Radio App KTRH.
Put us on the preset and when you go there,
you got thirty seconds. You won't need thirty But first

(14:16):

Jimmy, sponsored by Partners in Building. President Trump's first cabinet
meeting is later today. The allD ISD School Board votes
to close six elementary schools because of declining enrollment. And
did you see this, Jimmy? You would never see this
under by ever. President Trump's surprising guests at the first
White House tour of his new administration yesterday.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Just popped in. I've got audio of that coming up.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Get the latest news anytime, great minds, think alike. Our
next update is that five thirty.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Four more years Donald John Trump. What happens next? Who
knows what happens next?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Happens here on Youth Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
So do you think that members of Congress, you know,
we're like kleptomaniacs in shoplifters as children. Is that like
a prerequisite to run for Congress at least if you're
a Democrat, that that you don't have any any lack
of compulsion to just go ahead and steal daxpayer money.
I'm sure Stacey, I don't know. This was Stacy Abrams

(16:47):
a shoplifter. She took two billion dollars from the Biden administration,
you know, for quote unquote green new energy then, and
I'm sure a lot of that money didn't go for
anything green other than the money in her pocket. Senator
John Kennedy on the floor of the Senate yesterday talking
about Stacy Abrams and all this wasteful spending that so.

Speaker 25 (17:09):
Where did all the Inflation Reduction Act money go? Fair
question for taxpayers to ask. I mean, there's nothing wrong
with wanting to know what they do with our money.
Let me say that again, there's nothing wrong with wanting
to know what.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
They do with our money.

Speaker 25 (17:29):
So where did all the Inflation Reduction Act is one
point to trillion dollars go? Well, President Trump and Doge,
the the.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Group appointed by.

Speaker 25 (17:43):
President Trump and the and the the EPA under new
leadership under mister Lee Zelden had begun to follow some
of that money. Now this is where Miss Abrams, Mss
Stacy Abrams come comes in. I think it's fair to

(18:04):
say that Miss Abrams is I don't know I would
call her controversial. She has the right to believe what
she believes. This is America. She has the right to
free speech. I'm not criticizing that, even though I disagree

(18:27):
with some of what she says, but I think it
would it would be fair to describe her as controversial.
She's probably best known for the fact that she ran
for governor of Georgia twice and she lost. In her career,
Miss Abrams has said the following, I don't want to

(18:50):
just just articulated hyperbole here. I want you to read
her words.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Not mine. On April twenty two thousand.

Speaker 25 (19:00):
In twenty four, Miss Abrams appeared on MSNBC with Reverend
Al Sharpton, and this is what Miss Abrams said.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Quote.

Speaker 25 (19:08):
What we know is that the attack on Diversity, Equity
and Inclusion DEI is an attack on democracy. On September twentieth,
twenty twenty two, during a panel discussion in Atlanta. Miss
Abrams said this about a baby's heartbeat, a fetal heartbeat,

(19:30):
the heartbeat of a baby.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
In a mother's womb.

Speaker 25 (19:33):
This is what miss Abrams said about a fetal heartbeat.
She said, it is quote a manufactured sound, a manufactured
sound designed to convince people that men have the right
to take control of a woman's body.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
And what do we think about people who believe craziness
like that?

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Not much right?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
By twenty seven, Time to take a look at it's
your money bright Earlier on a Wednesday morning, Jeff Bellinger,

k TRH. It's time now for the news. Here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Thank you, Jimmy. It's five thirty two on KTRH, our
top story this hour.

Speaker 13 (22:31):
Doge thus far has proven incredibly successful in making our
government more efficient.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levit Doze has had so
much of an impact that Elon Musk will be at
the first Cabinet meeting of the second Trump administration this
morning at ten o'clock. Now, while Musk is overseeing DOGE,
the White House announced that Tech executive Amy Gleeson is
the actual acting administrator of the department. In meantime, DOZE

(22:58):
continues to find save billions and show proof of its work.
DOGE has launched an efficiency leader board on its website,
listing areas where waste and fraud have already been eliminated,
but legacy media outlets are disputing the numbers. Herriage Foundation
economist E. J. And Tony says the actual dollar amount
isn't important.

Speaker 29 (23:16):
The important thing that they are starting, that they are
shipping away. You know, how do you eat an elephant
one bite at a time, as the saying goes, so,
just because something is not going to immediately cure the
problem doesn't.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Mean you don't do it.

Speaker 30 (23:28):
DOGE estimates sixty five billion in savings to taxpayers so far,
but notes that a lot of government data is still
not available. Coryelson, who's Radio seven forty KTRA.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
But there's plenty of dogs derangement as Democrats ignore that
Obama fought for a DOZE like system in his first term.
Scott Powell at the Discovery Institute says, this is not
about slashing benefits like they claim, It's about saving us
from the abyss.

Speaker 31 (23:51):
It has to be recognized that if we don't restructure,
if we can't cut government spending and also increase government revenue,
are the current trajectory is bankruptcy, and that means that
we've betrayed the future. We've betrayed future generations.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
And if you believe the mainstream media, you know they
are gleefully reporting that two dozen DOSE staffers resigned. The
real story is that those workers, according to Musk, were
quote political holdovers who refuse to return to the office
as ordered by President Trump. Five point thirty four, Tulsea Gabbert,
the Director of National Intelligence, moves to fire and revoked

(24:29):
the security clearance of NSA employees who were tied to
sexually explicit conversations on an internal agency messaging board, calling
it a violation of trust. Speaking of the left, MSNBC
may have fired Trump hater Joy Reid now she's gone,
but the mainstream media isn't quitting the crazy.

Speaker 32 (24:51):
And it's something that senior correspondent Matt Kittle wrote about
for The Federalist.

Speaker 33 (24:56):
It's November's election taught us anything. It's that crazy Z
sells for.

Speaker 32 (25:01):
Only so long, but instead of getting the message, MSNBC
is still doubling down on crazy.

Speaker 33 (25:08):
The resistance movement is alive and well at MSNBC. We'll
see if the ratings, however, pick up, because they've been
absolutely dismal.

Speaker 32 (25:16):
And don't forget the leftist politicians who are the biggest
part of the problem.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven forty k t H five
thirty five.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
And on Capitol Hill, the House, with a two hundred
seventeen to two hundred and fifteen vote, passes a budget
bill with four and a half trillion in tax cuts.
A package would also direct four trillion towards raising the
debt limit more At six o'clock in Austin, in a
follow up to Jimmy's talkback question yesterday, many top level
state officials like the governor, like the lieutenant governor and

(25:49):
the Attorney general are in their third term and are
expected to push four or fourth. So is this a
sign that Texas needs term limits?

Speaker 10 (25:57):
Said?

Term limits argument, since as applied to these individuals, it's
just about somebody else wanting the job, not about them doing.

Speaker 10 (26:05):
A bad job.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Political consultant Bill Miller says anybody looking for one of
those jobs should make their move without the term limits
and win the seat on their own merits.

Ukraine Vladimir Zelenski will be at the White House on
Friday after officials reportedly agree to a deal to allow
the US access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals in exchange
for continued military assistance against Russia.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
I'd like to buy minerals on Russian land too, if
we can the rare earth. They have very good rare
earth also, they both do, I would say that, and
oil and gas.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
Look, it's a great thing. If we sell, it's great
for Russia too.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
By the way, Trump will meet with British Prime Minister
kir Starmer at the White House tomorrow. The president overnight
dropping an AI generated video featuring himself at Elon Musk
literally partying in a redeveloped gaza nor tunnels.

One yup, and it came with its own theme song
as well. Five thirty six. In case you didn't already
have issues with gen Z in your office, there's this.

Speaker 35 (27:20):
Many of the old fashioned management approaches aren't working with
the so called gen Z because they're not looking for
charismatic leaders or abstract approaches to business. They say they
need fairness, structure, and leaders who listen, not dictate, and
covenant case management. CEO Paul Peters says that's why gen
Z members are quietly quitting.

Speaker 23 (27:39):
Among other things, people no longer tolerate the type of
management that they once had before.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
They have a voice, and they're speaking up with their peep.

Speaker 35 (27:47):
The key to their needs appears to be psychological safety.

In exhibition baseball, the Astros beat the Mets eight to five.
I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's Newsweather and Track Fixation kt

Speaker 28 (28:02):
Now back to Jimmy Barrett and the Houston Morning Used Team,
Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
I do like scrambled eggs. Five thirty eight is their
time here in Houston's. Point is the problem I have
with these high egg prices and the whole bird flu
thing is I love eggs. I eat eggs every weekend
for breakfast, and I would probably do it most weekdays
if I eat breakfast during the week and I'm here
working during breakfast. But you know, it's it's getting it's

(28:32):
getting kind of crazy to watch what's going on here
with all these different restaurants who are kind of going
through the process of do we or don't we charge
an egg surcharge? And McDonald's came out yes, of course
there there's they've been struggling for a while. They're looking
for some sort of a leg up or in this case,
an egg up on the competition. They've announced that they

(28:54):
will not have any sur charges as it relates to
the nationwide egg shortage. They are not going to add
an egg charge. Michael Gandha, who is their North American
Chief Impact Officer, said this week that there will be
no surch charges in place prims that include eggs, and
added that the chain is also offering egg mcmuffins for
just one dollar on Sunday for orders made on McDonald's app.

(29:18):
He said, unlike others making news recently, you definitely will
not see McDonald's USA issuing any surcharge on eggs, which
are one hundred percent gage free and sourced in the US.
But that's right, they're free range and made in America. Well,
they're just tripling down on that whole thing, right. Waffle
House Maryall introduced an egg surcharge. Denny's has an egg surcharge.

(29:43):
And this is the only thing I would like to
say about the surcharge thing. We've been to the surcharge
thing before. Restaurants have a tendency sometimes to add an
item to your bill and not warn you upfront about
what it is they've done. Let's say you go to
any take any mom and pop Houston area breakfast joined

(30:06):
and you order an omelet, a three egg omelet, and
you get your bill and it says omelet right. Most
of us don't really scrutinize our bill that much unless
it's so crazy how you go, wait a minute, how
to get that high? But I think you definitely want
to take a look at your bill these days when
ordering breakfast to see if there's any sort of an
egg surcharge that's been added to it without them telling you.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
If you want to add an egg surcharge, that is
your right as a business person. I have no problem
with you doing that. The problem I have is if
you try to sneak it past me. The only thing
I ask is that you be honest until your customer's
up front. Yeah, we added an egg surcharge. We hope
it's temporary. But here here's what we're doing. We're tired
of changing our menu prices. You need to either put

(30:49):
it on a sign as you come in the restaurant
or have your you know your weight staff tell customers
as they're making their breakfast order what's going on. You
just just don't try to sneak it past people. That's
when we get upset. Five forty one time for traffic
and whether.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
To go here? What's that sky mine? You know what
we need around here? What's that? As soon as morning
drives over, let's go down to Eddie's office and talk
to Eddie martiniz see if he'll let us have some
chickens up here. We're not doing anything with the six
floor parking garage anyway. You're right, we need chickens and
we can get rich up here at iHeartRadio. Let's do uh,
let's do the golf freeway now. I want to double
check on you other roadwork. It's a lifestyle between Tiki

My heart goes out to you. If you have to
drive through that concrete wall every morning, though, or drive
between it northbound. Once you get the League city, it's

As far as fog terry, some people have it really
thick and some people hardly have it at all.

Speaker 23 (32:29):
I know.

Speaker 24 (32:29):
It's really interesting the way it's set up. And uh,
most of the fog, the really heavy fog, the thick
fog is to the east, north and just west of Houston.
But from Harris County down toward Galveston County, we're not
seeing widespread dense fog. Now, there may be some pockets

(32:51):
out there for sure. Visibility wise right now, it's it
varies quite a bit. I'm seeing visibilities as low as
a quarter of a mile at Hooks, but then ten
mile visibility at Galveston. So that's one of the reasons
why we don't have a dense fog advitesory in Galveston County.
All right, folks, so give yourself some extra time just
to be on the safe side. Whatever FOG's out there

(33:13):
will begin to thin out by mid morning, and we
should wind up with a really nice day, lots of sunshine,
temperatures in the seventies today. We're going to do this
again tomorrow, some clouds in the morning. It's going to
be a cloudy, dry day, a little bit cooler, low
to mid seventies tomorrow, and then sunshine and dry weather

(33:35):
through the weekend. Temperatures for the most part in the

what to think about it, and only nineteen percent of

What do you want? Do you want to keep it
as it is or do you want something permanent? If so,
what do you want permanent? You can respond at the

It saves morning light. Wouldn't you have your rather have

does anybody walk anymore? Any kids walk to school? I
can't remember last time I saw a kid walking in school.

What Youth Radio seven forty KTRH. Well, you'd have to
have some real gold if you want the Trump Gold card.
You heard about the Trump gold card. He announced it. Well,
he announced it, Yes, I might as well just share
that with you. Here's President Trump explaining to us what
the gold card program is all about.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
We're going to be doing something else. It's going to
be very very good. We're going to be selling a
gold card. You have a green card. This is a
gold card. We're going to be putting a price on
that card of about five billion dollars and that's going
to give you Green card privileges. Plus it's going to
be a route to citizenship and wealthy people will be

(37:37):
coming into our country by buying this card. They'll be
wealthy and they'll be successful, and they'll be spending a
lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and
employing a lot of people.

Speaker 8 (37:46):
And we think it's going to be extremely successful.

Speaker 7 (37:49):
And never been done before or anything like this, but
it's something that we're going to be putting out over
the next would you say two weeks out you want.

Speaker 8 (37:55):
To see a couple of words about sure, President Wait
a minute.

Speaker 36 (38:00):
Do you have to invest a certain amount of money
in this country in order to qualify for that gold card?

Speaker 8 (38:05):
Yeah, So the EB five program.

Speaker 37 (38:10):
Was really you lend some money, but it was all
it was full of nonsense, make believe in fraud, and
it was a way to get a green card that
was low priced. So the President said, rather than having
this sort of ridiculous EB five program, We're going to
end the EB five program. We're going to replace it
with the Trump Gold Card, which is really a green card.

(38:32):
Goal so they'll be able to pay five million dollars
to the US government.

Speaker 10 (38:36):
I have to go through vetting.

Speaker 37 (38:37):
Of course, we're going to make sure they're wonderful, world
class global citizens. They can come to America, the President
can give them a green card, and they can invest
in America, and we can use that money to reduce
our deficit.

Speaker 8 (38:52):
Why do we give out lotteries of green cards? Why
do we give out EB five for green cards?

Speaker 3 (38:56):
The President United States understands that the right answer is why.

Speaker 37 (39:01):
Don't we eliminate the deficit of the United States of
America instead?

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Huh okay, five million dollars to get your Trump Gold Card.
Let me let me ask this, do you get, like,
I don't know, frequent flyer miles. Does that come with
the Trump Gold Card? How about discounts of major major retailers.

you ought to be getting some deals for five million,

From Our katie Rh top Tax defenders twenty four Hour Weather.
Center Terry, smith who's? Here little fog. UPDATE i think
the good news about the fog, is if it's anything like,
yesterday he cleared out pretty, early so by probably eight
o'clock this, morning you'll be a whole different world out.

Speaker 10 (50:48):
There.

Speaker 24 (50:49):
Right the Dense fog advisory that's in effect is in
effect three eight o'clock because at that point we should
start to get a little bit of sunshine to help
kind of dissipate the, fog and the winds may help
to accelerate that as.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Well we'll see how that's doing.

Speaker 24 (51:07):
Now as far as visibility, Goes i'm not seeing as
widespread low visibility as we had, yesterday but there are
reports of clouds and fog and a number of. Areas
but the visibility is not as big of an issue.
Overall best thing to do is just give yourself some extra.
Time we don't want to get in a hurry and

the FOG's, gone good looking, day sunny and in the.

Here it, happened and that's what people are going to
get fun Used radio seven forty KTR. H, yeah good
luck with.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
That six twenty three is hard. Time probably here On
Houston's Morning. News we're we're loving liberals less and less these.
Days EVEN msnbc, said, yeah the joy read thing yet probably,
yeah we probably, should you, know maybe get rid of
the races that we have on in the evening. Hours
if nothing, else list face, it she doesn't have ratings in.

(54:56):
Revenue you can get away with a lot of things
if you have ratings in. Revenue and who was it
just got reassigned YESTERDAY Nbc news anchor, Right Lester. Holt
Matt kittle JOINS us senior election correspondent at The. Federalist
are we seeing these shake ups because there's a realization
that they've gotten to? LIBERAL i doubt that's the. Case

(55:17):
or is it just a situation where you've got new
bosses coming in trying to raise ratings in revenue and
they realize they can't do it with what they have in.

Speaker 33 (55:24):
Place, well we've known for a long time that there's
no joy AT, msnbc and now that is.

Speaker 10 (55:30):
Official that's a.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
FACT i think the combination of.

Speaker 33 (55:33):
BOTH i, mean this NEW msnbc under new ownership has
to look at the failure that it has been ratings
wise for such a long, time lagging so far Behind Fox,
news and they're into wholesale. Changes but as you, know
AS i said before In, novembers If november's election taught us, Anything,

(55:55):
jimmy it's that you can only sell crazy for so.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Long, well you could sell crazy to the crazy, people
but some of those people are you, know just either
they're temporarily insane in some cases some of them are permanently.
Insane but you can only appreciate the choir so much
when that choir is only maybe a third of the
available audience out. There when you are programming counterprogramming against

(56:20):
two thirds of the, country you're not probably going to
be on average very.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Successful, yeah no doubt about.

Speaker 33 (56:26):
It and that has been the formula for failure FOR
msnbc for a long. Time their ratings have been. Dismal
now they do have you, know they've picked up a
tad since The trump inauguration because of the whole resistance,
movement but they have had a lot of problems keeping

(56:47):
up once, again and it SHOWS.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Nbc is just THE Nbc news is just a lighter
version OF. Msnbc so do you see them moving in
a different. DIRECTION i would think networks in, general the
traditional you, KNOW, NBC, CBS, abc they're struggling. Mightily they're
they're they're struggling even worse than the cable outlets because
they just don't reach the mass audiences that they used

(57:14):
to reach back in the.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Day, yeah that's a good.

Speaker 33 (57:16):
Question every TIME i think that corporate media and the
networks Are i'm doing A mia kulpa about you, know
we really misread where our viewers, are Where america. Is
they did it in two thousand after the twenty sixteen.
Election they say they did it again this time, around

(57:38):
but they just doubled down on more of the same
What america doesn't, want and they continue to experience the
trust issues that they.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Have, yeah and we're seeing the same thing In hollywood
to a certain extown if you call any of THE Sag,
AWARDS i certainly. Didn't WHAT i saw was after the.
Fact but you, know you got you Got jane Vond
is standing up and doing her, thing and and other
people and other people friend dressers standing up and doing
their thing and talking about resistance and fighting back and
all these other. Things you, know they're using these you,

(58:08):
know they're driving many of their you, know people who
would like to go see a. Movie we'd like to
escape for a, while and they've made it impossible to
do that because they've intertwined politics into everything they.

Speaker 33 (58:19):
Do, yeah and you, know you would think that they
would have the left in, general would have learned something
from the beating they took In. November but we have
people Like Governor Tony evers in the state Of wisconsin
now changing the language to make things more gender neutral
in the, state including taking out the term mother and

(58:41):
replacing it with inseminated. Persons that's a hallmark card that
nobody wants to.

Speaker 10 (58:47):
Get.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Yeah Bill maher seems to understand, that although what he
tells them is falling on deaf. Ears you know what's
the old, saying those who do not learn from history
are doomed to repeat.

Speaker 10 (58:56):
It, yeah the left is learning that more and.

Speaker 33 (59:00):
MORE i hope they continue to double down on this
sort of. Stuff as a, conservative quite, FRANKLY i agree with.

the idea of having their own doge, department not just
for state, government but also for county government and for local.
Government can you? Imagine can you can you imagine what

(01:07:57):
a what a hubbub that would create in the city

look at every government, entity, local state and federal to

On Houston's Morning. News all, right we're gonna do the
time warp again in a couple of, weeks less than two. Weeks,
actually we'll be switching. Back not This, sunday but a
week From, sunday we'll be springing forward to daylight saving.
Time so we'll be going From sander time to daylight saving,

(01:27:29):
time and then of course back In november we'll flip
back again unless we finally decide to pick a time
and to stick with, it WHICH i think is what
a lot of people would.

Speaker 10 (01:27:39):
Like you.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
Know it's the constant going back and forth that people, go,
well why do we do? This the original, IDEA i,
guess you, Know, well first of, all we were convinced
to do it during wartime Because World War, ONE i
think was the first time they actually did a daylight
saving time so they could create more light at the
end of the. Day presumably what for bombing? PEOPLE i

(01:28:00):
have no, idea but we kind of bought into the
idea that we were providing more morning. Daylight you, know
the reason for not being on a daylight saving time
all year around is because you know you had less
hours in the. Morning you're creating an extra hour in
the evening. Hours but it wasn't getting light until an hour.
Later and at some point in time he was interfering

(01:28:20):
with the school schedule as far as kids waiting for
a bus or walking to, school not that we have
a ton of kids that do either. Anymore it seems
like parents are all driving their kids back and forth
to school these.

Digress i've been ask you all morning to go to

Tom Harris County District Attorney Shawn tier joins.

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
Us thank you for coming on the show this. Morning,
sir we do a frecidt it my.

Speaker 10 (01:34:01):
Pleasure how are you?

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
Terrific thank? You have a couple of couple of things
we kind of wanted to bring up to. Date one
of the things that HAS i guess gotten the attention
of some of the more conservative members of our audience
is how many cases have charges been dismissed because of
a lack of? Evidence And i'm curious BECAUSE i know
it's a it's a thing with every district attorney trying

(01:34:24):
to make a determination of do we have sufficient evidence
to cry to go ahead and do this? Trial are
we going to be wasting taxpayers? Money what are the
likelihood that we're going to? Win tell me about your,
criteria what goes into your decision making.

Speaker 34 (01:34:38):
Process it really is based on our. Oath do we
think that there is a likelihood of securing a? Condition
and if, so we're going to go. Forward what you're
seeing right.

Speaker 10 (01:34:54):
Now is a direct result of at least eighteen mon
months of just stagnation in the. Office, LOOK i was,
THERE i know how this.

Speaker 34 (01:35:08):
Occurred but the prior administration was not going to allow
prosecutors either overtly or covertly to dismiss cases because they
believed it was going to look negatively on, them which
is the complete antithesis of what you have to do
as a, prosecutor even if it's not the popular. Thing

(01:35:31):
if you don't believe you can make the, case you've
got to dismiss. It and so in FOLLOWING, ros you're
going to see dismissals of some relatively high profile cases
early on because they should have been dismissed years.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
Ago, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
In total, honesty here are some of these cases maybe
being dismissed through a lack of evidence as far as your,
Concern but maybe it's the fault of the DA's department
that enough evidence wasn't, secured or do you really believe
that enough evidence did not exists in order to be.

Speaker 34 (01:36:01):
Successful so when you say insufficient, evidence it does not
necessarily mean that there is a lack of.

Speaker 10 (01:36:10):
Evidence in a lot of, cases.

Speaker 34 (01:36:13):
It's because we've secured additional evidence that points toward either
a defendant's innocence or an inability for us to prosecute
because of. Mitigation so insufficient evidence to prove guilt does
not in most cases actually result from not having any,

(01:36:33):
evidence it's just not the evidence we need to get it.
Guilty but in a department that has one hundred thousand
cases a, year it's going to run the gamut of
reasons that we dismiss, cases from us not doing our jobs,
correctly to not having enough evidence collected at the, scene from,

(01:36:55):
agencies to some combination of all of, those and the
scariest and worst is we got the wrong.

Speaker 10 (01:37:02):
Person but it runs the gamut every.

Speaker 2 (01:37:04):
YEAR i think everybody has seen Enough Kelly sigler to
think that every case is going to go Like Kelly siegler.

Speaker 3 (01:37:10):
Does why aren't you as mean as As Kelly? Sigler?

Speaker 10 (01:37:14):
Right having worked with her for a number of, years,
uh and and her really being.

Speaker 34 (01:37:19):
Someone That i've looked up to my entire, CAREER i
can promise You i'm Not Kelly, Siegler and every DAY
i ask her Why i'm.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
Not, Yeah and if you've never if you don't know
who we're talking, about Watch Cold justice one time and
you'll you'll see what we're talking. About let me let
me ask you as.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
HERE i think a couple of things that have also
been from a public safety, standpoint have been concerning people
we had a capital murder suspect accidentally, released and then
recently we had THIS uh rape suspect also accidentally released
because evidently there Was we're told there was some sort
of miscommunication between THE Uh Police department and the DA's.
Office can you tell us exactly what happened?

Speaker 10 (01:37:55):
There, yeah so those are two separate things.

Speaker 34 (01:37:59):
Entirely the capital murder, suspect my, understanding was released because
of some issue inside the. Jail the charges were never
changed that that had nothing to do with our office at.

Speaker 10 (01:38:13):
All, now it did cause all of our arts to
skip a, bey but we got him back in. Custody
the THE u OF h rape, Suspect Eric brown is.

Speaker 34 (01:38:28):
It's a perfect example of What i've been talking about
for years about how important our intake division.

Speaker 10 (01:38:35):
Is when we.

Speaker 34 (01:38:39):
When you have experienced, competent career prosecutors down there as
the liaison to law, enforcement these kind.

Speaker 10 (01:38:48):
Of miscommunications really get.

Speaker 34 (01:38:51):
Decreased but what happened was that they didn't have enough
to file the sexual assault, charges so called the main
intake line as opposed to the twenty four hour a
day sexual assault intake line that all the agencies, have.

Speaker 10 (01:39:10):
And we were trying to get.

Speaker 34 (01:39:12):
Effectively what they call a place called a placeholder, charge
meaning we had we thought enough probable cause for a
more minor, offense but something to get this individual off the.
Streets that that wasn't communicated to the second prosecutor who
reviewed it hours, later and then that prosecutor wasn't able

(01:39:35):
to get a hold of the filing officer because that
officer was off shift by.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
Then so, basically everything they could go, Wrong, yeah everything
that could go, wrong and that one did go.

Speaker 3 (01:39:44):
Wrong, okay and we need.

Speaker 2 (01:39:46):
INTERNALS i assume there are steps being taken to correct,
this because if you have you prosecutors who are green
and don't quite understand their job, yet then that's not
going to, fly is.

Speaker 10 (01:39:56):
It that's exactly? Right that that.

Speaker 34 (01:39:59):
Is that is what this, highlighted and thank god it
happened in a case we're able to reapprehend him without
any other people being.

Speaker 10 (01:40:08):
Injured and it highlighted deficiencies in our.

Speaker 34 (01:40:13):

You're getting in the mood to raise some? Chickens seven
thirty at our time here In houston's morning. News some folks,
ARE i, mean with all these eggsurg charges going on
now and the high price of eggs has people, going you,
know maybe maybe we should raise our own. Chickens and you, KNOW, i,
PERSONALLY i think it's probably not a bad, idea especially

(01:48:11):
if you have kids who you're trying to teach responsibility
to and you could give them a chore of cleaning
up after the. Chickens not that you know anybody's gonna
have fun thin up chicken, poop but you, know that's
a good thing to learn raising, them you, know getting the,
eggs all that kind of stuff that can that could

(01:48:31):
be a great lesson for a child and. Responsibility BUT
i don't. THINK i just wonder is it even cost
effission to do, it BECAUSE i look at the list
of what you have to have to raise even a
few chickens in your own. Backyard and you've got to
have a chicken. Coop you got to have. Feed, obviously
they're not gonna eat the. Grass they have to have.
Feed you have to have, water a water source for.

Speaker 3 (01:48:54):
Them you have to have.

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
Bedding you have to have an area that they can,
roam you, know so they can free range it a little.
Bit and you, know all those things cost. Money and
the size of the. Coop you, know the coop could
be one of the more expensive, things depending upon how
well it's built and how many chickens you're going to
try to have in that. Coop the, feed you, know

(01:49:18):
to get good chicken, feed that's that's healthy that you,
know to raise healthy, chickens that's not, inexpensive and you
have the, betting any sort of a soft chicken safe
betting like straw pine shavings works that that's no big.
Deal but the other, thing you have to have a,
space and you have to have a willing homeowners association.
TOO i wonder you know how many homeowners associations that

(01:49:42):
didn't used to allow chickens are allowing them now because
they realize, that you, know the price of eggs have
gone so high that people want to have a, safe you,
know way to to get their own. Eggs if maybe
they're laxing the rules up a little. Bit the chicken
stone caused a lot of. PROBLEMS i, mean there could
be some smell, INVOLVED i, guess so the wind's blowing
in the wrong direction and the chicken poop asimen cleaned

(01:50:03):
up in a. While but at least there's no. Roosters
you don't need a rooster to, have you, know hands
laying eggs because you have worried about fertilizing the. Eggs
you're just worried about getting eggs to. Eat seven forty.

It In, Texas Harris County, City. HOUSTON Ej antoni joins
this economist at The Heritage. Foundation do you care how
much money does you saved us so?

Speaker 8 (01:55:06):
FAR?

Speaker 2 (01:55:06):
Ej does it really matter if it's thirty, billion or
sixty five billion or one hundred billion. Dollars we know
it's going to be hundreds of billions of dollars when they're.

Speaker 38 (01:55:12):
Done, well exactly like you just, Said. JIMMY i, mean
they've been on the job only a few weeks and
we're gonna quibble over whether or, not like it's it's
ten billion or thirty billion or one hundred. Billion give
me a. Break this is a team of only a
handful of people and they're finally doing the work that
should have been done years, ago and it is literally

(01:55:34):
SAVING us billions of dollars every. Day this is absolutely.
INCREDIBLE i applaud, them AND i can't wait to see
what they continue finding as they go forward and as
they get better and better at.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
This what is what is kind of sad about this,
though in a, way is how easy this waste has been.
DEFINED i, mean if they didn't have to look that deep,
this this could have been dealt with a long time, ago.

Speaker 38 (01:55:57):
Exactly jimmy that spot. On and this is why it
has been so frustrating for years when you have, people
whether It's republicans Or, democrats say that they're going to
look into cases of, abuse of, fraud of. Waste there
are countless clips all over The internet of, people whether
It's GEORGE. W bush Or Barack, obama you name, it

(01:56:18):
all these past presidents saying they're going to do exactly
What trump is finally doing today with the help Of
musk and.

Speaker 3 (01:56:25):
Doge, well that's what.

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
HAPPENS i think when you put a businessman in, charge you,
know you can maybe take the businessman out of a,
business but you can't take the businessman out of. Him
AND i think he's always going to approach these things
with a business. Solution you, know we're a. Company as a,
company The United states is, bleeding redding to the point
where we're going to have to declare bankruptcy unless we do.
Something so let's get to do. Something and he's getting

(01:56:48):
it done.

Speaker 38 (01:56:51):
Again spot, On, jimmy it's exactly. Right this is what
happens when you have somebody who's not a career politician
who doesn't just, think, oh, well we've always do it that,
way so it's perfectly. Acceptable, no you are a custodian
of The american people's tax, dollars and it's about time
you act that. Way it's about time that you realize

(01:57:11):
this is not your money that's getting thrown. Around this
is other people's money and it deserves to be treated
with that level of. Respect and, again that's finally what's.
Happening it's not that it couldn't be done. Before it's
just that people didn't have the. Spine they didn't have
the business, acumen they didn't have the other traits that
were necessary to make it, happen But trump.

Speaker 23 (01:57:31):
Does.

Speaker 2 (01:57:31):
NOW i will say, THIS i think The american people
care about at least saving a trillion dollar or maybe
two trillion dollars BECAUSE i think they think that the
idea of that five thousand Dollars doze dividend check relies
on that much in. Savings so they're going to be
encouraging dose to turn up one to two billion dollars
worth so they can get some money back. Themselves, well.

Speaker 38 (01:57:51):
Certainly and you, know part of the reason why there's
a disparity right, Now, jimmy between these different estimates of
just how MUCH dosee has saved is because sometimes they're
finding money that has already gone out the door and
they're able to claw, back and so some people will
only count that as. Savings but if there's money that
was going to go out the door next, week that
does flags and, says, hey this is not a legitimate.

(01:58:14):
Payment you, know you can count that as savings. Too
but other people will, say, well the government didn't technically
spend that money, yet so we're not going to count
that as. SAVINGS i, mean that's the ridiculous. Nature that's
the kinds of things that we're quibbling over. Today but
to your, POINT i think it's absolutely. Possible in, FACT
i think it's likely that they are going to save

(01:58:34):
over a trillion.

Speaker 3 (01:58:35):
Dollars, YEAH i think you're right about.

Speaker 31 (01:58:36):
THAT.
