How Do You like Your Eggs?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
How American common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Will see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston dot com.
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett. All right, Happy Friday.
And by the way, in addition to being Friday, today

(00:36):
is World Egg Day. Not sure that you were aware
of today being World egg Day. But it's not just
National egg Day. It's World egg Day, an opportunity to
celebrate eggs all over the world. Turns out that most
of us like eggs. About eighty three percent of Americans
like eggs, either like them or really love eggs. I

(00:56):
would put myself in the love category. I love eggs.
I do. I've always loved eggs, and I like them
in any form I can get them. I like them fried,
I like them scrambled, I like them poached. Yeah, I
even like poached eggs. I like them, of course, I
like them in certain situations poach. For example. One of

(01:16):
the breakfast places I haunt has this and I forget
what the name of it is now, but I haven't
had it in a while because it's a low carb thing,
and this is not exactly low carb. I mean, it's
got some things that would be bad for carbons, but
it's the way it's prepared. It's a biscuit, and we
all biscuits are really bad in carbs. But it's the

(01:36):
bottom of the biscuit. And then on top of the
bottom of that biscuit is a fried chicken breast. And
then on top of the fried chicken breast is a
poached egg, you know, so that it's kind of on
the runny side, so when you hit that egg, it
just kind of oozes all over the I know, some people,
you either really like the yolks or you really don't

(01:58):
like the yolks. There's usually nowhere in between that I
like the yolks. You know, I don't mind the running
as long as the egg's not cold. I don't mind
the running at all. And then on top of the
egg sausage gravy. WHOA, that's some good stuff. And that
is I mean, there's your chicken and your egg. Which
came first, the chicken or the egg. Well, in this case,

(02:19):
the chicken came first, and an egg came on top
of it, but I don't think that settles that argument anyway.
We started talking this morning on National egg Ed Egg
about egg preferences, so I gave you a couple of
choices blank and eggs or best use of an egg,
which which really gets down to how do you like
your eggs?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
In?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
What form do you prefer your eggs? If you do
indeed like eggs?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Joe from Crosby. My dad was born in nineteen twenty seven.
His special treat for his birthday and Thursday was steak.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
And eggs, and I tried to follow that tradition and
as far as on my homelet you got to have
some cohula hula sauce with some siur cream.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah, Dave you on Lake Conro. Yeah, my mom can
make some bad to the bone deviled eggs with pepperica
on top. Oh man, and then wavels maancherios, go papas
and then uh scrambled eggs with sauce on it, green sauce. Wow.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Hey Jimmy, it's Jason from San Antonio. We have chickens,
so I eat a lot of eggs. I eat at
least six eggs a day, usually boiled because they travel well.
But I love scrambled eggs with chili and cheese. I
love fried eggs fried in real butter, with bacon and
deer sausage. I also love eggs and soft tacoats. I

(03:37):
like eggs.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I do too. I like eggs. You know, I'm listening
to the you know, the sauce and other things on eggs.
What about the ketchup thing? How do you answer the
ketchup question? I think about that's about a thirty percent
rate of people who put ketchup on their eggs. I've
always kind of felt now I it's uniquely for ketchup.

(04:01):
I don't have a problem putting salsa some other things
on eggs, and I won't accuse you of trying to
cover up the taste of eggs by doing that. Cheese
is really good on eggs. But ketchup, I know, I've
I've never gotten the whole ketchup an eggs thing. See
ketchup to me is a condiment that you generally use
because you're trying to cover up the taste. The day

(04:24):
I gave up ketchup was the day that I had
a steak medium rare instead of well done, which is
the way my parents always cooked meat was well done,
and by well done, I mean well done, and yeah,
you'd have to as a kid, you'd have to put
ketchup on it just to make it edible. So that's
that's what I was associating with ketchup. So I'm not

(04:45):
a big ketchup on eggs guy. I'm not a big
ketchup on hash Browns kind of guy. I know a
lot of people put ketchup on on their hash browns,
and I don't know why, because I don't mind ketchup
with French fries, but I don't like ketchup on hash rounds.
I guess I just don't like ketchup associated with my
breakfast at all. Anybody else. Let's see what else we

(05:07):
got here as far as the ways you prefer your eggs,
I mean, and everybody's got their own individual thing on
exactly how they like their eggs ship from Webster.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
How do I like my eggs sunnyside up, with the
side of Kennings's corned beef hash and rye toast.

Speaker 7 (05:25):
This is assy in the spring. I'm not a really
big fan of eggs, but I will say my favorite
comfort dish is with eggs, eggs over medium with some
hot buttered corn bread, Mix them up and eat them.
I know it sounds weird, but it is good.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
It does.

Speaker 8 (05:46):
I love all eggs. But here is a tip for
our hard boiled egg levers. If you boil a whole
bunch of them and then refrigerate them with the shell on,
with the show on, don't crack the shell. It will
stay good for twelve days.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Morning guys, Happy Friday. Rick from the east Side. I
really like some sunnyside up eggs with a nice running
yolk and some fresh ash browns. Mix them together with
some toast. That's an all around breakfast there.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, it is. I like our boiled eggs. I thought
that was an interesting tip about keeping the shell on.
Here's the problem I have with making and maybe y'all
have some tips on this. Here's the trouble I have
with making hard boiled eggs at home is that I
have a hard time getting the shell to come off
without sticking to the egg. And then when you finally

(06:42):
get the shell off, the egg its pulling away some
of the white. Do you have a trick on that?
Is there like a trick you can do to keep
that from happening, you know where it's really difficult to
remove the shell from the egg, from the hard boiled egg.
If you got a tip on that, love to hear
it die There you go with somebodyas on eggs again

(07:04):
and thirty two hundred and eighty one On average, Americans
eat two hundred and eighty one eggs per year. That's
that's that's a lot of eggs. I'd have to do
the matheses howity does and that is, but it's Friday,
so I don't really feel like doing math anyway. Back
with Bore in a moment, Jimmy Barrett show here in
them ninety fifty KPRC. All right, a couple of things

(07:26):
for us to do here in segment number two of
our show today. First of all, if you are flying anywhere,
I haven't heard of any particular horror stories coming out
of Houston, either at Bush or at Hobby. But you know,
we have sort of an air traffic control slowdown going
on right now. The air traffic controllers are essential government employees.

(07:47):
They have to show up for work, but that doesn't
mean that they get paid. They are not going to
get They're going to get paid, but they're not going
to get paid until after the shutdown is over and done.
So right now, they're showing up for work and they're
not getting paid to show up for work, but they
are requested, well, they're required to show up for work.

(08:07):
Not all of them are though. There are air traffic controls,
and this happens every time we have a government shutdown.
There are air traffic controllers who are protesting the government
shutdown by calling in sick. And it's happened at a
number of airports. I don't think it's happened in Houston
at the same level has happened in some other places,
but there have been airports that have had cancel flights.

(08:30):
I think yesterday there was over eight hundred and sixty
delayed flights and there was fifty or sixty cancel flights
as a result of staffing issues with the FAA with
air traffic control. Seawn Duffy, the Transportation Secretary. I saw

(08:50):
him on Fox yesterday and Fox Business actually, and he
was getting asked if it's true, are we seeing some
issues at our airports because of these air traffic controllers
calling in sick.

Speaker 9 (09:01):
They're going to get paid once the government opens back up,
but during the shutdown, they don't get paid, and I mean,
I think, what's happening here. Ninety percent of the controllers
they show up, they come to work, but ten percent
of them are lashing out, the lashing out of Chuck Schumer.
They're frustrated that Chuck Schumer is putting illegal immigrants in
their healthcare over their paychecks, putting illegals over Americans. And

(09:24):
they're like, you know what, we're going to call in
sick today. I don't like it. They all have to
come to work. They all should come to work, but
this is a lash out at Democrats for again putting
non Americans ahead of American hard working citizens.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Mister Secretary, just to confirm, you have seen a noticeable
rise and ani traffic control is calling in sick.

Speaker 9 (09:44):
That's accurate one hundred percent. So the average was five
percent of delays in the national system was from controller
staffing shortages in the past. At this time it's fifty
three percent a as of rise, and the delays are
coming from controllers who aren't coming to work. It's a problem.

(10:05):
They do have to go to work. But Stuart, let's
take a step back. Let's go down memory lane. When
I was in Congress. We had a shutdown because Republicans
wanted to build a wall and keep illegals out of
the country. Democrats wouldn't fund that wall, and the government
shut down, and all these illegals came in ten million,
whether there's twelve million, fifteen million, And now that they're here,

(10:28):
Democrats have shut down the government to make sure that
American taxpayers pay for their health care. It makes completely
no sense why they're doing this and again holding the
American people hostage.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's a Transportation Secretary John Sean Duffy. Well, I'll be
able to give you some first information on that for
Monday anyway, because Sunday Elizabeth is flying back to Detroit
to to visit her mom for four or five days.
So she is going to She's going to have to

(11:03):
deal with it, and we'll see if there's any delays
on her flights, if anything happens or she can't make
her flights as a result of that. All right, here's
another story I wanted to get to here because we
talked about this earlier in the week. The story is
these unexplained power outages happening all across the Houston metro
in the month of August. This report came from Amy

(11:26):
Davis over at KPRC two, and during the month of August,
Houston had the worst power outage rate in the entire country. Now,
if it was in August filled with thunderstorms and with
hurricanes and or tropical storms, then I would understand that, because,

(11:47):
after all, you get big storms that's going to knock
the power up. We didn't have any of that stuff
going on for the most part in August. August was
a very quiet weather month. So why is this happening? Well,
evidently Amy Davis over KPRC two had been trying to
get somebody over there at Center Point to answer her questions,

(12:07):
why why is this happening? And as it turns out,
Centerpoint finally answered and they basically blamed the people. The
people who live in these homes, Well, you know, they
must need to have you know, electrical must need electrical updates,
or are they're they're they're charging too many things, or
they're coming up with all these reasons about why their

(12:31):
power is unexpectedly going out. In other words, they're making
excuses for maybe infrastructure issues that they should have paid
more attention to. And I don't think that anybody's particularly
buying that. So I had ed hers on our morning
program today. He's an energy expert here in the Greater
Houston area to talk about the centerpoint issues, to talk
about why we have so many power outages here. Why

(12:55):
do you think that we have these certain zip codes
here in the Houston area that just seem to have
problems no matter what's going on.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
With the weather. Some of it's growth, some of it
is just age, some of it is just long standing problems. Anecdotally,
I can tell you that the transformer in the backyard
blows up every eighteen months pretty routinely. It's in trappnel

(13:21):
everywhere that the office building. We had twelve years of
intermittent power, everything firing off, and eventually, following Hurricane Berrel,
they found out that well, yeah, there was an insulator
that had been shorting for the last twelve years. You know.
It's a lack of diligence, a lack of care, that's

(13:44):
what we're suffering with. That's why it took them three
weeks to recover for Hurricane Berrel. But we've got trees
that have grown into the rights of way. That's not
only just a problem for the power lines, but a
water main I see down the street here has now
been broken for fourth time in a year and a half.

(14:05):
The city and Center Point need to coordinate and clean
things up. Get the vegetation off the lines, upgrade the lines,
and look at the rest of the infrastructure. This. As
you pointed out earlier, they're center Point blaming the victim.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's nonsense. Centerpoint has a job to do. You know,
it's funny. I think this is not to excuse Centerpoint
in any way, shape or form, but I think this
is a problem that is going on across the entire
country right now when it relates to two electric providers.
I remember when I lived in Virginia, where we only
had one electric provider. We didn't have any choices about

(14:41):
who we get our electricity from. Our neighborhood used to
have this kind of a problem. We'd go out with
no explanation. We were the only only homes that are
little cul de sac, the only homes in the entire
neighborhood of about five or six hundred homes where the
power went out. Turns out I managed to find somebody
who actually worked for the energy provider. He said, yeah,
you're you're a you're on a different circuit. You're on

(15:03):
an old circuit. The rest of the neighborhood is on
the newer circuit. They could fix the problem, but we
cost about five thousand dollars and they don't want to
spend the money.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, that's that's kind of a logical explanation. But you know,
we only have one provider here at Center Point. You know,
you can buy your electricity through any retail provider. That's like,
that's a mentalman. That's like buying roses from the guys
at the corner of Post Oak and Westheimer. It's the
same set of roses that come from the airport every day,

(15:32):
different different sellers. The Center Point is the utility that
delivers the electricity here, and you know, they say they're
getting better, and of course they've gone to the Public
Utility Commission. They've got a rate increase. There's a lot
of ketchup work that has to be done well.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
The question is do you think the ketchup work is happening?
Is it being done well?

Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think we're seeing getting done. I'm seeing new poles
being installed. They're talking about having installed thirty thousand new poles.
That's nice, that's a small, tiny percentage of the number
of hundreds of thousands of poles in the service area.
You know, each wire, each tree, every location needs to

(16:18):
be checked. And they're upgrading their their ability to see
the overgrowth of vegetation and to monitor the line th
real time. They're installing equipment that other utilities have used
around the nation for more than twenty years. The center
Point had refused to install.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, let's hope they catch up. And I guess the
only way they're going to is if we keep the
pressure on.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well, we have to be diligent. I mean, the one
time I was able to kind of force something with
Center Point, they had a pole had interfered with a
flag over the water Burger and after four or five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten calls nothing happened. But a photograph posted on X
been known as Twitter, worked really well.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, squeaky wheel. Why do we always have to be
the squeaky wheel? Why can't especially if it's something that's
really dangerous. Why can't you tell them once and they
fix it? Why why does it have to be repeated
phone calls over and over and over and over again.
And then he got post on X and you got
to complain to the media. That's how that's how these

(17:30):
television stations get get all their you know, consumer reports
kind of things. Is people complaining with companies that just
won't respond to them. They just won't respond. And Center
Point is like every other power company probably in the
United States, has been very guilty of that. All right,
back with more in a moment. The public service coming

(17:51):
away courtesy of the spring Fire Department, So stand by
for that. Jimmy Verrichow on a Frodi here on AM
nine fifty KPRC. All right, we have a lot of

(18:13):
really good local stories today. I was telling you yesterday.
I believe it was about Montrose. Montrose has rainbow colored crosswalks.
For the better fact that are in Montrose, the celebration
of a Kaye Prime that's what that is, you know,
for the l G T TQ plus community. We all

(18:34):
know what Montrose is. Montrose is a it's you know,
sort of LG E TQ headquarters in Houston. And uh
and that's fine, that's I had no problem with that whatsoever.
But the crosswalks are not painted like crosswalks. They're painted
like a rainbow flag. You know, it's clearly a political statement.
Governor Abbott has come out this week and said that no,

(18:56):
you're not going to use intersections and roadways and road
signs as political statements. These are non political entities. They
need to remain that way. So we're going to go
back and we're going to paint over these rainbow crosswalks
and make them look like a legitimate crosswalk the way
it is supposed to look. And that has some people

(19:20):
up in arms in the gay community in Montrose. Here's
the report from KHOU eleven.

Speaker 10 (19:28):
Yeah and Amia. This story is personal for so many.
These are the four rainbow crosswalks that we have been
talking about since yesterday here in the heart of Montrose.
You know, they've been here since twenty seventeen. I'm told
there are more than just pain. They've been a statement
of pride and community. Today I spend time talking with
the people who live here and those who showed up

(19:48):
to take videos and pictures, determined to hold on to
what they mean.

Speaker 11 (19:53):
I'm standing in front of Houston's most controversial cross flock.
Right here in Mantos are Citi's vibrants and historical gighborhood.

Speaker 10 (20:00):
This is where I met Davis Mendoza de Rusmann, a
University of Houston, a lum and LGBTQ advocate who came
here to make sure the world knows what's happening. Community
being a race, that's how you.

Speaker 11 (20:10):
Feel about this. Oh yeah, physically, literally, metaphorically, we're being erased.

Speaker 10 (20:16):
Data says for years, this intersection has felt like a
place where people can be seen and feel safe. Now,
under the governor's order, following a federal transportation directive, these
pride crosswalks are set to disappear.

Speaker 11 (20:27):
It's a symbol of love. It's a symbol of pride
and unity, not only for the LGBTQ plus community, but
for allies and for a humankind.

Speaker 10 (20:34):
Governor Abott's directive calls on cities and counties to remove
what he calls political ideologies from roadways. It mirrors a
letter from the US Transportation Secretary back in July giving
governors sixty days to clear non standard markings on streets
and intersections in the name of safety. Metro says this
is the only intersection they're currently working on. In response. Later,

(20:56):
I met with Jack Velenski. He's lived in Montropes more
than thirty years and leads the Neartel Mantra Super Neighborhood.

Speaker 12 (21:02):
This is just one little symbol that we're still part
of the community as whole, and to take that away
from us, it will not silence us, but it really
sort of sets us back, and the fact that we
can't even have a simple sidewalk crossing.

Speaker 10 (21:16):
And then there were people like Casia Madison who showed
up with her friend to take pictures and to remember.

Speaker 13 (21:22):
This crosswalk means so much of the community and the
history here in the city of Houston, and we just, honestly,
it just breaks our heart that they're trying to rip
the heart of the city out pride.

Speaker 10 (21:34):
Houston President Carrie Anne Morrison also shared in an emotional
statement with K two eleven, calling the change deeply personal, saying,
if they paint over it, we'll paint it back in
our hearts and our advocacy in our fight again and
again we will not be erased.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Well, you can paint that in your hearts as much
as you want. You can give it three coats, that's fine,
But it's a crosswalk. It needs to look like every
other crosswalk in the city. Dave Houston And by the way,
is there any you've been to Montrose right at least
been through Montrose. Is there is there no other symbol

(22:10):
of gay pride in Montrose other than the crosswalks, Because
the last time I checked, there's plenty of rainbows in
in in the in the Montrose community. I don't think
that's going to be a problem. I really don't. All
Right now to the public service thing. I promise you
I do a lot of work with the Spring Fire Department.
I'm happy to do it. I love meeting with those guys.

(22:31):
I love I live. I live in Spring. They're protecting
my home in every other resident of the Spring community.
So I'm more than happy to, you know, to lend
my time and efforts to try to help them out.
They're trying to get the word out about lithian batteries
and the danger of lithian batteries and the proper disposal
of lithian batteries. I take a little interview with their

(22:52):
community Risk Reduction Director's name is Alex bregg Enzer, and
right now I'm going to share that with us. We
try to bring up to date on everything you need
to know about the proper disposal of lithium batteries. You know,
I thought that you know we don't do this very often.
We probably should do this more often, where we talk
about some of the community hazards and what we can
all do here in the Greater Houston area to prevent

(23:15):
a disaster from happening in our own home, especially as
relates to a fire. And there have been a lot
of issues involving lithium batteries. So Spring Fire Department, who
you know, I have a relationship with. I've m Seed
some of the events. Love love the guys and gals
at Spring and everything they do for the community. So
we're always happy to have them, ma'am on to talk
about potential fire risk and what you can do about it,

(23:37):
joining us as Community Risk Reduction Director. Alex bregenzer Am
I pronouncing that name right, Alex, Yes, sir, excellent. Well,
at first I looked a lot like Alex Bregman. I went,
wait a minute, I thought he was I thought he
was in Boston. Yeah, no relation, no relation at all. Okay,
fair enough, all right, lithium batteries. How big of a

(23:58):
problem is lithium batteries? I mean, we hear these stories
all the time about fire departments having to respond to
teslas and other vehicles that are battery operated and a
fire starts, and how difficult they are to put out.

Speaker 14 (24:13):
Yeah, we're seeing lithium ion batteries everywhere in the home now.
You know, typically an average home has between twenty to
sixty different lithium ion batteries in it, and those lithium
ion batteries when they're damaged, can overheat cause a chain
reaction that leads to fire explosions. They burn hotter, faster,

(24:37):
and can also reignite once we put them out. So
that's a lot of energy in a small place that
can become a real issue if they're misused.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
And that kind of brings me to the next question,
what are some of the typical misuses that you're finding.
What are what are some of the things that maybe
we're doing wrong and the way we store these batteries
that are causing these fires to happen.

Speaker 14 (25:01):
So the biggest one is charging the devices or the
battery safely. You know, we want to make sure that
we're using cables that came with the product to charge them,
following the manufacturers instructions with charging them, not over charging them.
So once it hits one hundred percent mark, go ahead
and take it off the charger. The other thing that
we're seeing a lot is, you know, charging devices under pillows, uh,

(25:26):
on the couch and in areas where they're not able
to cool off. When when you charge batteries, you know,
whether it be your cell phone, your laptop, you know,
uh yard equipment, that can cause it to heat up,
and if it's not able to cool off effectively, it
can cause that that overeating to tanin reaction and can

(25:49):
start a fire. So making sure that we're using listed products,
charging the device safely, making sure that that device or
that battery has enough space to cool off, and then
all also recycling or disposing of batteries responsibly.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Okay, and we'll get in that.

Speaker 14 (26:04):
I'll start your batteries in the trash can, right. I
know we've all done it, but especially those lithium ion batteries,
make sure that there's recycled properly. If they get crushed
or damaged in any way, that can also kick start
off that chain reaction and cause a fire. So there's
a lot of different ways that you can recycle those batteries.
We at Spring Fire Department have a safe Battery dispose

(26:25):
a program. So if you look within our territory. You
can come to any spring fire station and we'll take
those batteries from you, take care of them so that
they're not a safety hazard.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
And dispose them the right way. What is it, though, Alex,
about the lithium battery? What is it about the construction
of the battery that makes them so hot and so
prone to fires? You know, I think most of us
that don't use lithium batteries all the time, or we're
used to the alkaline batteries and you know, you throw
those in the trash and you don't think anything of it.

Speaker 14 (26:53):
Yeah, So the lithium ion batteries themselves, they have cells
in them that when they're damaged that it's the chain
reaction that's caused. You know, you can crush an alkali
battery and it's not going to have that same effect,
but the high energy component within that such small space,

(27:13):
especially when they're damaged, can cause thermal runaway where it
just one cell after another gets overheated, starts releasing hazardous
gases and then that can cause a fire. And it's
like you said, a lot of folks still use alkaline
batteries and that's totally fine. It's the lithium ion stuff

(27:34):
that can really really cause the issues.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Okay, And for those who run into a fire in
the home, this is just preventive mendosine, I think for
most of us, most of us I think know to
have a fire extinguisher in the home. Is a fire
extinguisher the least bit effective against the lithium battery fire.

Speaker 14 (27:51):
It will help a little bit if you notice. So
for example, if you're charging something and at any point
you start hearing a pot being sound, or it starts
to smell weird, or it gets really hot, go ahead
and take that off the charger and put it outside
if you can. A fire extinguisher is a great tool
to use in this case. Like I said, those lithium

(28:13):
ion fires can reignite even once you put them out
with a fire extinguisher, so it's easier, if possible, get
it out, get it outside of the house away from
stuff that can burn, just to be on the safe side,
all right.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
And again, for those who have lithium batteries that they
would like to dispose of, you're excecting them at the
spring fire department. There any particular hours or can people
drop by almost any time.

Speaker 14 (28:36):
Typically during the daytime operating hours, so nine to five.
And what we do is we'll take hazardous So if
you have a for example, a laptop battery or an
old cell phone that's starting to separate and swell, we
will pick those are what we call damaged damage or

(28:56):
defective batteries. We'll take those from You will take the
lawnmower equipment. Normal alkaline batteries will also.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Take care of those.

Speaker 14 (29:04):
The only thing we can't take our automotive marine and
some e bike or e scooter batteries.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Okay, Alex, thank you appreciate it. You got us thinking
about that now. That's Community Risk Reduction Director Alex Bregzinger
from the spring Fire Department. All right, yeah, a little
useful information, you know, don't stick those things in the trash,
A smart thing to do. Quick, a little break back
with more on this Fridday in just a moment, Jimmy
Barrett AM nine fifty KPRC. So you may have heard

(29:43):
that President Trump has broken to peace deal between Israel
and Hamas that virtually the entire world has signed off on,
including Hamas. I guess it gets under way in earnest
involves two things for sure. For right, now, which is
the release of all remaining hostages from Hamas. That's supposed
to happen by Monday or Tuesday, and then when that happens,

(30:06):
Israel will pull back to a specific line that is
outside of the city of Gaza. Everybody, including supposedly Palestinians,
are excited about this deal. Palestinian allies have signed off
on this deal. Everybody's signed off on this deal. But
there's the part of me that doesn't trust it, not

(30:30):
for a minute. It's Hamas. Do we trust Hamas as
far as we can throw them to actually live up
to a deal. I think we're going to find out
in a hurry whether or not there's any chance for
this to work based upon the hostage release. If Monday
and Tuesday come and go and there have been no
hostage release, or there has been a partial hostage release,

(30:53):
then we'll know that Hamas is just doing what Hamas
does and have agreed to something that they have no
intention of sticking with. But in the meantime, it's gotten
a big world reaction. Laura Ingram on her show last
night talking about all the positive news, all the positive reports,

(31:14):
even on some of the more liberal networks on what
President Trump has been able to accomplish, and it involves,
by the way, I think, taking a little bit of
a victory victory lap. And I don't think anybody blames
him for taking that victory lap.

Speaker 15 (31:30):
Set seven wars or major conflicts took wars, and this
is number eight. I think it's going to be a
lasting piece, hopefully and everlasting piece piece in the Middle East.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Let's face it, only Donald Trump, with his relentless pursuit
of peace and his teams outside the box thinking, could
have gotten it done.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Remember a month ago and I thought this was possible.

Speaker 9 (31:51):
You convened that historic meeting not simply of Arab countries
but Muslim majority of countries from around the world, including
Indonesia was there, Pakistan was there, and created this coalition
behind this plan.

Speaker 13 (32:03):
The President had some extraordinary phone calls.

Speaker 7 (32:05):
And meetings.

Speaker 9 (32:08):
That required a high degree of intensity and commitment and
made this happen.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
This was a team effort, and the President, as any
great coach would do, spread the credit around.

Speaker 15 (32:22):
We did as a group with Steve and Jared and
Marco and me and all of us. We got the
hostage is back. We got many of them back.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
JD.

Speaker 15 (32:32):
You were fantastic and you were great, Susie. I want
to thank you very much. Cih John Welooking Agent are
incredible job. So I want to thank you all. And
if I'm missing anybody, I apologize, but you've been amazing.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I want to thank the academy well. Since you were
sworn into office, Trump never lost sight of the human
cost of this conflict, the suffering on both sides, especially
of the families of the hostages.

Speaker 15 (32:57):
Over we're doing getting our hust It's okay, and that's
what people wanted more than anything else. They want of
these hostages back that have lived in hell like nobody
has ever even dreamt possible.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik was with some of the families
last night.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
President Trump, you have the best crowd in the world.

Speaker 15 (33:18):
Where do you guys have to say to President Trump?

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Thank you, you did it.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (33:30):
This is amazing, mister President.

Speaker 15 (33:33):
We believe in you, we trust you fulfilled the mission.

Speaker 13 (33:36):
Until every hostage, every forty eight of the hostages are home.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Less it be the peacemaker, Yes, amen to that, but
I would warn hamas don't screw him over. Whatever you do,
don't do not screw President Trump over or you will
regret it for all time. By the way, Monday is
Columbus Day. The proclamation came out and signed by the
President yesterday declaring it Columbus Day and nothing else on Monday,

(34:06):
just Columbus Day. So if you want to go back
to celebrating Columbus Day, you have full support from the
Trump administration. Even the federal workers want Columbus Day because
they get the day off. Hey, listen, you all have
a great weekend. I'll see you Monday morning, bright and early.
I don't care if it's Columbus Day. I'll see Monday morning,
bright early five am here on news radio or over
on news Radio seven forty KGRH. We're back here at

(34:28):
four Monday of nine fifty KPRC.
