All right, we've already gotten a bad start. Of course,
if you're just waking up, your alarm's going off, you
got to turn this news off.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
This morning.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
We got wet freeways and already we're in trouble on
the North Freeway.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
I have forty five. This is outbound, not inbound.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
It's your wreck at West Road one two three, oh man,
the whole thing. They've shut it all down. That's not
good complete fire response. They're forcing everybody off into the
feeder again. It's outbound trying to go to Green's point inbounders.

Radio seven forty k TRH. It is time now for

(01:47):
the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer and good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
Everyone is Sound five o two on news radio seven
forty k t RH. In our top story this.

Speaker 7 (01:54):
Hour, America is fed up with this BS.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick on Newsmacks. Nearly nine million
Texans voted early in this election, including a record one
point two million here in Harris County. Nationwide, in person,
early voting turnout surpassed the twenty twenty total by three million. However,
the total number of early votes is actually down from
twenty twenty because there's been a markedly less voting by mail.

(02:23):
Now election interference from DC. You think Texas tells the
FEDS that they are election monitors, you know, coming from
the Biden Harris regime, DOJ They're not welcome here Tomorrow.
The Justice Department is planning to send those monitors as
several counties, of course, including Harris. We'll have more on

(02:43):
this at five point thirty. It is now five h three. Nationally,
President Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage, and he took
that a step further over the weekend.

Speaker 8 (02:53):
These are the kind of guys you're like a smacking ass.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Biden and Scranton, Pennsylvania on Saturday. Now. Back in October,
he called for Donald Trump to be locked up. Remember
angry man there, Kamala Harris blew off a campaign appearance
in Michigan in order to appear on Saturday Night Live.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr says it could be a violation
of the equal time rule.

Speaker 9 (03:18):
America's broadcasters have a very special privilege. It's a privilege
they were given originally for free, which is access to
a public resource, the airwaves. In exchange, they have certain obligations.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
SNL's Lourene Michaels told The Hollywood Reporter earlier in the
campaign that he would not be inviting either candidate on
the show. Guess that was a lie. SNL hit is
the latest example of how the Democrats trying to rebrand
Harris is anything other than a radical leftist.

Speaker 10 (03:47):
The fact that she's part of the current administration is
a big part of the problem.

Speaker 11 (03:50):
She has to say that she's going to be a
force for change without saying what's wrong right now, and
that's why she refers to Trump all the time instead
of what's going on right now.

Speaker 10 (04:00):
Consultant Nick Lindquist told KTRH that a better idea would
be for her to just embrace her radical record.

Speaker 11 (04:05):
She wouldn't be a good candidate if she's stuck to that,
but at least we would know who she is and
what she actually believed. I think she's confusing voters now.

Speaker 10 (04:13):
Linquist says that when you have such a long and
radical record. Trying to run away from it just strikes
voters as dishonest. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
It's five oh four. Mainstream media meltdown mode once again
about something Donald Trump said at one of his many
jam packed three a day rallies over the weekend.

Speaker 12 (04:31):
To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the
fake news.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
And I don't mind that so much.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
Trump in Pennsylvania Now, the campaigns said Trump was quote yeah,
stating that the media was in danger themselves and should
have had a glass protective shield too. Trump has had
those shields since the attempt on his live July thirteenth
in Butler, Pennsylvania. There's a lot of gaps in them,
and he was right. There's a lot. Trump says he

(05:01):
would change if he gets another four years as president.

Speaker 13 (05:04):
The swamp really runs deep. I think that he's gotten that,
you know. I think personnel was probably the single biggest
problem that he had in the first term. And so
my guess is, and I think with you know, picking JD. Vance,
I think is a signal of that that you know,
he's gotten the message.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
American thankers. Vince Coiner there, he says the President has
a massive to do list if re elected, including securing
the border and bringing down inflation. Don't forget election night
coverage tomorrow night starting at seven pm, going all night
long if necessary, on ktr HKTRH dot com and the
iHeartRadio app. It's now five to five ongoing Middle East conflicts.

(05:42):
Iran says it will attack Israel between our election and
the January inaugural, claiming it would be strong and complex.
Despite that turmoil, crude oil prices relatively calm. What happens
after election day, though, Carringham with the Texas Alliance of
Energy Producer says, depends on who who wins.

Speaker 14 (06:01):
Here's what's at stake, and you've got one party that
has a greater interest in restricting US spoil and gas
activity in the name of climate change. The other party
has an interest in expanding the US spoil and gas
and energy production.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
He adds, market's going to react not just to who
wins the White House, but also the control of the
House and Senate. Oil future seventy one bucks a barrel

Smith in just a few minutes. It's now five oh
six weeks since the Texas Supreme Court stepped in to
temporarily stop the execution of death row inmate Robert Roverson.
Where does that case now stand?

Speaker 15 (06:52):
Cher reportner Holly Hanson has been covering the case for
the Texan and Tells k T or eight.

Speaker 16 (06:57):

Speaker 15 (07:01):
A crisis and a clash between the Texas House Committee
versus Governor Abbott and ag Ken Paxton.

Speaker 16 (07:08):
Everyone is trying to figure out where to go from
here with legal pathway forward. Does his execution get rescheduled
or does he get a new trial?

Speaker 15 (07:19):

forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Listen to news Radio seven forty KTRH on the Free
iHeartRadio app. It's all your news, music, sports podcasts, and
Hawk Free never sounded so good.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
So everybody's been talking about the fans in New York
ever since that World Series game where two of them
tried to pry the ball out of Mookie Bett's glove
and it was just it was one of the most
outrageous things I think I've ever seen a professional sporting event.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
I thought, they're going to break his risk.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
They're lucky. They're lucky that they did. All that happened
to them is that they got kicked out. Of course,
this is early in the game. They probably paid thousands
of dollars for the tickets in order to be able
to get into the World Series to begin with. And
so one sports behavior expert is wondering if the high
price of sporting events is a contributing factor to the
kind of behavior we're seeing.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
Entitlement.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
You mean, yeah, that.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
Feeling is more the character of the people of.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
America, or maybe just a combination of those.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yankees fans in general.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well, Yankees fans have been known to be bad, but
they've never quite been that outrageous, I don't think, just
like Philadelphia fans are known to be mouthy, but they're
generally not violent. But that's that's almost violent behavior.

Speaker 17 (09:02):
I'm try.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
Those guys were young, fairly young.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, that was, you know, twenty years and thirties. Relatively
no governors on them. Well yeah, no, yeah, nothing, no
sort of restriction, you know, entitled.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
I paid my money, I can do whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
They had. They had no line. There was no line
there of what that's that's too far, you can't do that.
We're seeing less and less of people knowing where that line.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Or any repercussions crossing.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
The lines, well other than getting kicked out and maybe
being banned for life from being able to go to
a Yankees game, although good luck trying to enforce that.
I don't know. I'm just kind of curious about that.
Do you get a lot of tricker traders at your house?

Speaker 6 (09:42):
The street had a lot, But I've got neighbors with
little ones, you know, So it was like they were
out in the yard because they had their skeletons and
all their stuff. I didn't decorate a whole lot this year.
Are c My landscaping looked so spooky that he gets
scared away? Some kids roots.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
It was amazing. I've never seen so many trigger traders
in our neighborhood. It was just amazing. Now, I don't
know if they were all from our neighborhood or not.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Well, Jimmy, you're only on the radio telling everybody you
do full sized candy bars. What do you expect?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Well, not everybody knows where I lived all those. Some
of the neighbors said.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Hey, you still got those full sized bars.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I said, yeah, I got How tall are you? They
laughed because they all knew heard me. They all heard me.
Do might explain my rules for trick or trading?

Speaker 6 (10:26):
We were down on the beach over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, we went down just long enough to find out
I got a roof leak. Oh well, that's good to know.
It's good to know. God, it's got to get fixed.
Oh well, it was the expensive weekend.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Lone start rally. You didn't get any carryover from that.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
No, we saw a lot of motorcycles at the North. Yeah. Yeah,
the North Freeway was packed full of motorcycles. And the
thing was funny about is wh when we were going
when we were going down this is yesterday, We're going
down and the weather was just you know, they hit
him at and it would rain really super hard. And
you have all these motorcycles heading into this rain. I'm going, oh, man,

(11:01):
what do you do when it's pooring like that? I
guess you just pull over right and wait for it
to stop pouring, or you just keep you know, trudging on.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
You thank God for rain.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, I mean that's when you're glad. That's when you're
glad you're in the car.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Frankly, the roofers needed the rain too.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, they did well. Like I said, a lot of people,
a lot of people. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
They woke up with a roof leak thanks to all
the rain we had over the weekend. Time for a
little traffic and weather together.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
So I might give away my candy at Dick's Sporting
good Saturday, We've got a life appearance.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm just like, is that what you did? You passed
out to your leftover candy? Yeah, it all kinds of
leftover candy. I probably still have some in the traffic studio.
If anybody tours iHeartRadio today. Let's go to the north
side Jimmy and share a hang on. This doesn't look good.
I don't like the way this looks here.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
I forty five north at West Road. It's outbound, not inbound,
and they've blocked the whole thing. What I don't see.
I wish we could zoom back and see the police response.
That usually tells me what's going on. But everybody is off.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
Pardon me.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
They put everybody off on the feeder road southbound. You're
minding your own, great job.

Sorry, I'm Skymike on the Generator Supercenter, dot Com, Traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Romo r KTRH Top Tax Defenders twenty four hour Whether Center,
Terry is here. We have a potential tropical cyclone eighteen
soon to become roth al, moving into the Gulf as
the week progresses. The question is how close does it
get to us?

Speaker 19 (13:04):
Well, that is the question, and that's a hard one
to say at the moment, just simply because it hasn't formed.
But whatever does drift its way from the Caribbean into
the Gulf of Mexico right now looks like it'll make
its way into the central Gulf of Mexico. And it's
late in the week, folks, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Now.

Speaker 19 (13:26):
The current thinking is it may make its way up
into the central Gulf.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
So that would.

Speaker 19 (13:33):
Put Louisiana Mississippi, Alabama, and even western Florida in the
kind of threat area. But given that there's nothing out
there right now, I wouldn't ignore it. We'll continue to
watch it and keep you posted and see what happens.
But we may have our next hurricane here in the next.

off off the trail, away from places where there might
be a camera and somebody might actually pick up what
he said. He was talking to some union guys and
scramming when he made the smack your ass comment. We'll
share that and get some reaction to it. Coming up next. First, though,

What happens next?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Man on Youth Radio seven for k t RH, Joe
was talking to some union guys in Scranton, the city
of his birth, when he started getting angry about Trump
and basically said, I would I he's doing it with
clenched teeth. I mean having he's having one of those

(17:02):
angry senior moments. Yeah, one of those angry senior moments. Right,
instead of yelling at you to get off the front lawnees,
he's talking about smacking Trump and the ass. And I
assume by proxy his supporters as well. Here is the president,
the current president of the United States. With his comment
and reaction to it, some.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
Of you guys are attempted to think as Machio guys.
I'm I'll tell you what me. I grant you remember
used to have a little trouble going down the plot
once in a while. And I'm serious. This is the
kind of guy you like to smack it.

Speaker 21 (17:39):
Yeah, boy, you know it's getting more and more pathetic
every day, Jesse. Usually when you smack somebody in the ass,
it's a player that it's a teammate who makes a
great play, scores a winning goal.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Is he senile, stupid or both?

Speaker 18 (17:54):
I sometimes smack you in the ass after a great show, Greg.
That is Friday that hr knows about this he's hit up.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
He said, you liked it.

Speaker 18 (18:05):
So Biden in just twenty four hours last week, said
he's going to lock up Trump and smack his garbage
supporters in the ass. And then he's like, and then
pass the baby feet.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
This guy's out of his mind.

Speaker 18 (18:16):
They've confiscated his phone, they've confiscated his laptop, but he
keeps escaping the White House and giving speeches. I don't
know what's gonna happen because he's now at a point
where he doesn't give a you know what, and so
he doesn't even care about his presidential library. He's supposed
to invite people to come over and spend the night
in the Lincoln bedroom, but he's like, I just don't

(18:36):
really feel like it. But it's like three hundred million
dollars to do a library like that. And he's calling donors,
and the donors like, let's just wait until after the
election before I open my wallet, because why would you
give money to Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
At this point, it's just a waste.

Speaker 18 (18:52):
He's very old, and his legacy's really bad. Kamala, if
she loses that lunch that she has weekly is going.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
To be great.

Speaker 18 (19:00):
It's probably just gonna want to drown him in a
soup because she gotta hate this guy. He's responsible for
probably three or four of the worst news cycles she's had.
I just can't wait to see the letter that he has.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
To leave Trump in that desk.

Speaker 18 (19:16):
If she loses, it's probably gonna be something like deer garbage.
You beat two women, but you didn't beat me, Jack, sincerely,
the big guy.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
You know what the she's out there trying to preach unity.
That that is her closing message, right, is unity?

Speaker 6 (19:36):
No, she's having other people preach it for her.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well, she's starting to preach it too though.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
Yeah, but she doesn't make that many appearances.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
But is anybody Is anybody going to buy the unity message?
Why would anybody buy the union?

Speaker 6 (19:47):
That what her skit was all about on Saturday Night?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
No, her skit, Her skit was a carbon copy of
the one that Trump had done looking in the mirror
with the impersonator.

Speaker 6 (19:58):
Oh, exact same skit did she do it?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
She played She even played your eyes the SNL skit
not to mention the SNL bro FCC rules, yes.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
You know, and said that they would not do that
equal tray. See they are licensed public meantime, Donald Trump
three rallies. I mean, it's exhausting, and he's losing his voice.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, he's tired.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
He's doing far today.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Well there is no tomorrow. Tomorrow's election day.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Right I know, but man, somebody working that hard.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah. Yeah, Well, hopefully he gets a chance to rust.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
And they're already lined up for his first appearance today sometime.
I guess this morning. They're lined up at six o'clock
in the morning. I forgot where it was. I looked
on the screen. Did you see the mobs of people
that kind of pointed at it. I want to say,
he's going to North Carolina, Michigan, and I forget the Pennsylvania. Okay,

On Friday, Amazon surged after strong earnings results. The Doubt

this session. TGI Fridays has filed for bankruptcy over the weekend.

(21:35):
Lower cost restaurant chains have been feeling the pinch from
high inflation on consumers who've been choosing to need at
home in order to save money. They've also felt the
pressure from faster competitors such as Chipotle, and the cost
of a new set of wheels continues to climb. According
to Cox Automotive, the average price of a new card
this year is more than forty eight thousand dollars. That's

(21:55):
up twenty one percent from five years ago. A survey
from Edmunds dot com find seventy three percent of consumers
are holding off buying a new car because of the cost.

(22:44):
First we check out that morning drive once again. Sky
Mike's here. All right.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
We're starting to see some inbound facles now on the
North Freeway. That's an outbound recor. It's pretty ugly looking
to West Road just to shoulder getting by. I think
they're shutting the whole thing down. Nothing good could be happening.
Hov's okay, inbound, you're a little slow, but you are
riding in. And we'll check two ninety and also your
northwest side at the five forty break, Skymike in the

(23:08):
classic Buick GMC Traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
From our KTRH Generator Supercenter, twenty four hour weather center
Wendy with understorms this afternoon and a high temperature right
about eighty three. We'll talk to Terry Smith about this.
When we talked to her again in about nine minutes.
Temperature right now remains seventy eight at your official severe
weather station. News Radio seven forty k TRH. Idious time.
Now for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
Good morning. Everyone is five thirty one on news radio
seven forty KTRH. Our top story. This is our Texas
calling out Al Biden. Here is regime the Justice Department
for their attempt to send their election monitors to several
Texas counties tomorrow. Yeah, the Democrats election interference.

Speaker 25 (23:50):
What are the counties on the DJ's list, Harris County.
But in a letter to the feds, Texas Secretary of
State Jane Nelson said, the law is clear, these monitors
are not permitted.

Speaker 26 (24:00):
The Secretary of State wants to say no to federal observers.
It has that right now under the current federal law.

Speaker 25 (24:06):
Constitutional law expert David Cole on Dallas Television, the Harris
County Republican Party, along with Precinct three Commissioner Tom Ramsey
and State Senator Paul Bettencourt, holds a news conference today
at noon. Bettencourt joins Houston's Morning News at seven twenty
Cliff Saunders News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (24:24):
Now record one point two million people in Harris County
took advantage of the early voting period. Statewide, eight point
nine million Texans voted early. That's almost half of registered
voters in this state. About Oh wow, that's pretty close.
It's not just the beds. We need to worry about
Chinese hackers trying to meddle in the election as well.

Speaker 27 (24:45):
We're told a group referred to as Salt Typhoon is
reportedly trying to hack phone calls from American leaders, including
Donald Trump and JD.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Vance.

Speaker 28 (24:54):
China has been trying to hack into public officials fronds
for quite some time.

Speaker 27 (25:00):
Mind Texas Representative Michael McCall says China is trying to
interfere with us again.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
It puts our nation at great risk.

Speaker 28 (25:08):
I think the American people really need to know what
the hell is going on here with respect to China.

Speaker 27 (25:12):
McCall also says China is hoping Vice President Kamala Harris
comes out victorious next week.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Cherit Lewis News Radio seven forty k JRH.

Speaker 6 (25:20):
It's now five thirty three. Donald Trump promising to fix everything,
Kamala Harris and the left is broken and they're doing
everything they can to steinmy.

Speaker 12 (25:28):
That our country is a crooked country. Okay, it's a
crooked country, and we're going to make it straight.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
We're going to make it straight. And it's not an
easy thing to do.

Speaker 12 (25:39):
They want to put you in jail because you want to.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Make it straight.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Trump at one of the three rallies he held yesterday,
thousands of supporters at each. He got four rallies. He's
got four rallies today North Carolina, two in Pennsylvania, and
closing out the night in Michigan. New polling from NBC
claims the race between Trump and Kamala Harris a dead
heat forty nine percent each. Again, this is from NBC.

(26:03):
ABC has Harris up actually by three points, forty nine
to forty six percent in the popular vote. Consider the sources.
Though some Poles claim the Texas Senate race between incumbent
Ted Cruz Democrat Congressman Colin already is tight. Cruse not
taking any chances in the final days of the campaign. No,
we didn't.

Speaker 29 (26:23):
We are on our own and we are in the
middle of the single most expensive Senate race in the
entire country. Chuck Schumer has been explicit, I'm as number
one target.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
Cruise on Fox's Sunday Morning futures could be sixty years. Well, yeah,
after Ronald Reagan's a time for choosing speech, but it
aligns with where America is today. Sixty years Let me
do the math here, no more like forty years.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Right.

Speaker 30 (26:53):
If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to.
This is the last stand on it, whether we believe
in our capacity for self government or whether we abandon
in the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual
elite in a far distant capital can plan our lives
for us better than we can plan them ourselves.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
Oh that was sixty years ago. Reagan's vision of conservatism
set a course for the Republican Party, one that got
reset as a populist party by Donald Trump. It is
now five thirty five. Iran threatening both the US and
Israel with changes to its nuclear policy over existential threats.
Not everyone thinks they can back that up, though after

(27:30):
Israel's retaliation on Iran last month.

Speaker 31 (27:33):
The military effects of that strike is beyond what's being reported,
because they have literally taken down most of the Russian
air defense systems, and that's what's really protecting their nuclear enterprise.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
Retired Army General Jack Keane there on Fox, a regular
on Fox handling a Middle East policy, leading to questions
about the Jewish vote. How will it turn out tomorrow?

Speaker 32 (27:57):
They're trending Republican, but traditions does they stay blue?

Speaker 33 (28:01):
I think that Kamala will still get the Jewish vote,
but by a narrower margin than.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
In the past.

Speaker 32 (28:07):
Political analyst Elizabeth Ames says people tend to stick politically
with how they grew up, but they're starting to see
the Left is both anti Semitic and they're not politically
similar anymore.

Speaker 33 (28:17):
Fifty eight percent, according to one study, believe it's important
to make sentences harsher to reduce crime. Well, that's a
Republican view, and that's a majority of Jewish voters.

Speaker 32 (28:26):
She says, though the Jewish vote will not be enough
to swing the battleground states. Andre Perard News Radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Well, it's election day tomorrow, and we'll have all that
election coverage all night long if necessary, starting tomorrow night
seven pm on air on KTURH, dot com and the
iHeartRadio app. It's now five point thirty six Texas DPS
says it's preparing for a potential surge of illegal aliens
at our border, trying to beat what could be a
second Trump presidency.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
We're closely monitoring.

Speaker 34 (28:57):
There's tens of thousands of immigrants right now way in
southern Mexico, just waiting to see what's going to happen.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Lieutenant Chris Olivadas. They're telling reporters that the state is
ready to go for any surge that may occur on
our Texas border. Outrage over billboard though that have been
put up all across Texas saying, quote, your brother in
immigration custody has rights. We're here to help. Well, guess
what those signs? Basically ads are funded by the Department

(29:24):
of Homeland Security.

Speaker 35 (29:27):
I don't know how this makes it to the top
ten of DHS allocation. It's certainly not something they should
be spending money on given the crisis the foot.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
Former Border Patrol chief Rob the Teller KTRH has just
proves that brought Biden Harris regime is prioritizing open borders.
It is five point thirty seven. Texas A and M
falls out of the AP top ten after losing to
South Carolina over the weekend, all the way down to
fifteenth Longhorns moved up to number five, a third Texas school,

(29:56):
though now in the top fifteen. That would be Semu
at third. I'm sure with Ryar on News Radio seven.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
KRH Houston's Morning News continues with Jimmy Verrett and Sheriff Fryar, right,
who's waiting until.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
The election is over before they decide whether they're going
to buy a car or buy a house. Evidently a
lot of people, as it turns out, the twenty twenty
four election is dividing people. And by the ways, both
Republicans and Democrats are those far more Republicans than Democrats
they're delaying. Forty four percent of young adults say they're
spending less on things like dining, on entertainment, and subscriptions

(30:34):
because of the election or what they see is further
economic uncertainty. In other words, we better get used to
this because if the wrong person's in the White House,
this is just going to keep on going on. We
need to have some cash available to us. Nearly a
quarter of millennials and gen zers surveyed also said they're

(30:55):
delaying major purchases like homes and cars until after the election.
Much of the anything pull back likely tied to fears
that the presidential candidate they oppose would intensify inflation. That
is particularly true with Republicans who feel that if Kamala
Harris is elected, there will just be that much more
government spending, that much more inflation, and the debt will

(31:16):
continue to grow. That's the feeling of most Republicans anyway.
The question is, though, what do you do after the
election is over? I mean, will you permanently change or
at least for the next four years change your habits
depending upon who wins the election. If you are a
Republican who supports Trump and Trump wins, are you going

(31:39):
to go right out and start buying stuff in the
words change, change your habits back again, because you're going
to assume that he'll be successful with the economy and
we'll get the inflation will go away and the economy
will boom again.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
Not this close to the changing of the year.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Property taxes mm hmm, yea, the bills, right, It'll be
probably February of March at the earliest before people are
out there looking to spend money, you know.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
And there's also this are the warehouses full of things
I'm thinking about appliances, you know, houses, in cars I get,
but appliances, you what do you do? I've been trying
to make do with things that break.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Sure, Yeah, because.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
I would prefer to buy American mate which Trump is elected,
he says, the manufacturing will be made in America.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
But how long will it take for that to get
up exactly?

Speaker 14 (32:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Take and it's the replacement parts, you know, in order
to keep something going.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, well I've got that. That's another thing. The beach
house that I found was broken. There's a I have
a stacked washer dryer like they have an apartment building,
kind of a small thing.

Speaker 6 (32:43):
Does things so fast like they used to.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, something's wrong with the dryer, So am I gonna
have to replace the entire unit? Is it fixable? I
don't know yet.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
I've got kind of refrigerator in the garage that I've
had for thirty eight years and it's still going in
the garage. You think how hot it gets in the US.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Built a lot better thirty eight years ago.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
It was damage. I bought it at cons It was damaged.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Are damage when you bought it?

Speaker 19 (33:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Scratch your dam?

Speaker 6 (33:05):
Huh Yeah, I was a dam in it. So I
got it and.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
It's still going there you go, there you go.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
I mean just just amazing to me. I keep thinking,
what am I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (33:13):
They don't build them like they used to do by
forty one time for traffic, and whether it's a new
bath Trump wins, you're gonna get a whole new bathroom.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
I just I just want like a like a you
know what I want to know?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
I want a tub. Don't you You strike me as
the kind of guy who would like candles and soak
it the tup.

Speaker 34 (33:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah, well I listened to our sister's station Sunday ninety
nine point one, sometimes with some cucumbers over my eyes.
All right, let's go to the north side. I'm gonna
need some distress after this North Freeway thing.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
West Road. U. I can tell you nothing good's happening there.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
This is all lanes blocked at the West Road exit
and we're backed up now from Ted. Well, there's people
stuck in it. They're forcing you to the feeder, big
shots to the toll way. Commoners jump on the east
text Freeway instead. Let's see. Trendstar is looking for the
wreck that Andy from Conroad found. It was on the
north sam eastbound at JFK. It was a wipeout accident.

(33:59):
We should have some lane shortly. And two ninety let's
go with Rodney from Magnolia Too.

Time to check in with Terry Smith. We've got more
rain in the forecast and minute when it's raining here.
The last few days it pours.

Speaker 19 (34:49):
Boy, have we had a lot of rain already and
there's more to come now. It looks like the heavier
rain will likely be tonight and tomorrow when the colfront
begins to make its way into southeast Texas, and then
the rain will be tapering off and that'll be a
good thing. And we've got some cooler weather as well,
and that will probably be welcomed. So it feels like

(35:13):
November today. It's a fifty percent chance of showers and storms,
a breezy day, still warm at upper eighties today, eighty
percent chants of thunderstorms Tonight, some heavy rain possible, eighty
percent chants of showers and storms tomorrow morning. I think
we'll dry out later in the day and much cooler,
low to mid seventies tomorrow. There's excuse me, very limited

(35:35):
rain Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and temperatures will be in
the upper seventies to low eighties, so it actually will
be more fall like for several days.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
It's about five fifties of our time here in Houston's
boorn in the sixtieth anniversary of Ronald Reagan's the time
for choosing speech. It was nineteen sixty four, and he
was telling the world how he was no longer a Democrat,
he was a Republican, and how we didn't have a
balanced budget and we haven't had a balanced budget. Then
the road to ruin that we're going down. Sixty years later,
we're still driving down that road. I just kind of wonder,

(36:22):
where's the dead end of the road. You gotta wonder
at this point, don't you more? Coming up first, though,
traffic and weather together, well, starting with you, sky Mike, I.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
Missed that north clip six ten.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
We're getting loopy in the squeeze westbound at forty five

wet freeways, no snoozing people. Let's get up out of bed.

happening there. It's all lanes blocked. Take the hardy big shots,
take the East tex commoners. Nord sam Andy from Conro

Speaker 2 (38:06):
All right, Jeffrey Lord evidently is hit his snooze alarm.
That's okay, five point fifty one our time here in
Houston's Morning News. We can talk a little bit about
the speech, but I also want to get some comments
from Donald Trump Junior. I got a big kick out
of his North Carolina campaign appearance. Even he says he
has sticker shock from going to McDonald's. Whoops, and he

(38:26):
brought it up. We got that back on the I
mean the talking phrase again McDonalds. Again he said, I
know who I am. I am the son of a
New York billionaire, and even I have sticker shock. So
imagine what you know, Imagine what the every day individual
feels like. Anyway, sixty years ago today is when Roald
Reaking gave a national speech nineteen sixty four. If you

(38:48):
can imagine that.

Speaker 6 (38:49):
Yeah, I question that. When I saw that sixty I thought,
are we talking about when he was elected? I mean,
that was forty years ago.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Now, this is kind of when he was first hitting
the national stage and he was coming out. I used
to be a democratic. This is why I'm not a
Democrat anymore, sort of his Tulsi gabbered moment, if you will,
you know, the Democrats have left me behind. But the
biggest things he talked about in the speech were the
amount of tax revenue, the amount of taxes that are
taken out of our paychecks, the amount of national debt

(39:17):
that we continue to accumulate, in our inability to balance
the budget. All three things that continue to exist to
this day. Now, the only thing that's changed in those
sixty years is the level of our national debt. The
national debt in nineteen sixty four was not something to
be as worrisome as what we have now, obviously, And

(39:38):
in nineteen sixty four we were still on the gold standard,
so we still had some gold to back to back up.

Speaker 6 (39:45):
Think about it. It was a year after the assassination
of John Kennedy, and that's when the Democrat Party took
a really hard left turn with LBJ.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yeah, you're exactly right, aggressive, is yep? All right? Now
back to Donald Trump Junior in North Carolina, Greek Ward
in North Carolina. He was, but he's obviously they're spreading
everybody around as much as they can. We've got less
than twenty four hours of the election at this point,
so you got to make as many stops as you can.
Here he is doing it. I think a great job

(40:13):
of kind of getting the crowd rallied and ready to vote.
I took two of my sons last summer. We were
on a father son fishing trip. We came back and
they were hungry.

Speaker 36 (40:24):
They were ten and fourteen at the time, and we
went to McDonald's, where my father is now allegedly a
fry cook. Now, the Biden Harris economy is so bad
that Donald Trump has to not only run for president,
but he has to work at McDonald's and as a
garbage man, just to make ends me. And you know

(40:49):
what I loved about it was the media response to McDonald's.
Oh my god, it was a stage. It was a
staged opportunity. He's like, no, really, Like I was, like,
I thought he was actually working there. I mean, that's
how insane they are think of that. Okay, but I
take my kids to McDonald's, and I'm not one of
these guys, you.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Know, liberal virtue signaling.

Speaker 36 (41:11):
My two week old baby was crying the other day
about the potential of nuclear proliferation on the Korean peninsula.
It's like, no, no, no, I know exactly who I am.
I'm very comfortable with that. I'm open and honest about it.
I'm the son of a billionaire from Manhattan. But if
Donald Trump's junior takes his children to McDonald's and has
sticker shock, that is a serious problem, folks.

Speaker 23 (41:34):
Okay, like.

Speaker 36 (41:36):
That is a serious problem. Like McDonald's was never until
the Harris Biden economy, it was never a luxury item,
right is, and under my father it won't be again.
But we have to get him there. Okay, This notion,
this notion that Kamala Harris is gonna be an agent

(41:58):
of change, He's gonna be if she was going to
change anything. Oh, she's changed a lot. It's all for
the worst. But like, if she was going to change
anything for the better, wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
You have done it by now? Yeah? You would think
I get sticker shock going out for burger. How much
should I pay for a burger the other day? Granted
it wasn't your average every day burger, but it was
a burger and fries basically for eighteen bucks, eighteen dollars.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
That wasn't a drive through, wasn't a drive through.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
It was a sit down restaurant, eighteen dollars for basically
what amounted to a burger and fries. That's that's sticker show.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
You used to get change for a ten dollar bill.
You don't know, No, you don't drive through.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 6 (42:42):
Uh, it's barely over ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Well for now, until it's twelve dollars, until it's fourteen dollars.

So we're gonna call this a police investigation that explains
a complete closure at West Road outbound. They're putting you

but it's a metro bus.

Our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (44:32):
I believe the enthusiasm and energy is more on our
side than theirs, right.

Speaker 6 (44:36):
Now, that's the Georgia Governor Brian Kemp on Fox in person.
Early voting turnout nationwide surpassed the twenty twenty total by
three million. However, the total number of early votes is
actually lower than it was in twenty twenty, the result
of fewer mail in votes. In Texas, nearly nine million
people voted early, including a record one point two million

(44:57):
here in Harris County, Texas. So fighting an attempt by
the FEDS to meddle in key voting districts. It's illegal
for them to telling the Biden Harris DOJ election monitors
are not welcome tomorrow in several counties. We have the
right to tell them to stay out, including Harris County.
More details coming up at six point thirty. It's now

(45:19):
six h three.

Speaker 8 (45:21):
So I know this sounds bizarre, and it sounds like
I said this five years ago. You locked me up.
We gotta like him out. The only garbage I see
floating out there is his supporters. But I'm serious. These
are the kind of guys you're like a smacking ass.

Speaker 6 (45:36):
Yeah, that's Biden out there on the campaign trail of
the last couple of weeks. Spanking comment was at an
appearance in Scranton this weekend by Biden. As for Kamala Harris,
she ditched a Michigan campaign event this weekend to do well.
It was cringeworthy appearance on Saturday Night Live seven. They
like to make garbage truck, right. I don't really laugh

(46:02):
like that, do I?

Speaker 33 (46:05):
A bit?

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Oh brother?

Speaker 6 (46:09):
That appearance is being questioned as a questionable violation of
equal time rules by the FCC. Lorne Michaels had promised
neither Harris nor Trump would be on that show before
the election. A lie snl appearance and indication that Harris
still has a branding problem.

Speaker 11 (46:28):
Personal brands in politics have become more important than they've
ever been. I don't think that Kamala really grasps that.
I think she's playing a playbook. That's the decade, decade
and a half old.

Speaker 6 (46:39):
That's Nick lun Quiz, a political strategist. He told k
to your age, it's almost impossible to create a strong
personal brand when you keep changing your position on every issue.
It's now six zh four. The only one calling out
the left for their outrages is Donald Trump. He held
three separate rallies yesterday, all packed with thousand and supporters.

Speaker 12 (47:01):
This is a group of people, a large group of people,
larger than people think, but it's a very demonic party.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Has become that way.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Trump will be doing four rallies today, starting in North
Carolina and then ending in Michigan after two rallies in Pennsylvania.
A Trump to do list meantime, as president fills multiple pages.

Speaker 27 (47:26):
The number of things Donald Trump would change or do
differently if president again is constantly adding up.

Speaker 13 (47:31):
I think the first thing that's probably on practically every
single person who's voting for him on their list is
to seal the border.

Speaker 27 (47:39):
Vince Coyner, contributor to The American Thinker, says Trump already
has an extensive to do list, which may include restructuring
the Justice Department and other intelligence agencies.

Speaker 13 (47:48):
The pleasure of the president would be getting rid of
most of them and then investigating them, frankly, for what
they've been doing over the last eight years.

the January inaugural Oil prices have remained fairly steady for months,
but it could change after election day.

Speaker 37 (48:28):
Some analysts think crude oil prices have been kept artificially
low leading up to the election. Car Ingom, president of
the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, says the market is
watching what happens on Tuesday, including who wins Congress.

Speaker 14 (48:39):
If you've got a winehouse that remains Democrat, but you've
got a Senate that goes to Republicans, that can stop
a number of things.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
And may come out of the lighthouse.

Speaker 14 (48:47):
If you've got a winehouse that goes Republican, then tends
to be less burdensome to US oil and gas companies.
That's another thing.

The other wild card is continuing chaos in the Middle East.
But ultimately, he notes, the market will respond to how
much oil is being produced and how much is being consumed.

An ash duck of Khan who she's voting for. But anyway,
six oh eight is our time here. In Houston's morning News,
Laard Trump says that the bad news for the Harris
campaign is that they are doing worse with men than
Trump is doing with women. Trump is doing better with
women than Kamala Harris is with men. And concerning the

(50:50):
fact that fifty four percent of the vote so far
has been women, that might actually be fairly good news
for Trump. Here's Laara Trump.

Speaker 5 (50:58):
Donald Trump is.

Speaker 38 (50:58):
Doing far better with women then Kamala Harris is doing
with men. That is huge, Maria, and that is why
the alarm bells are sounding over on the Democrat side.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Wonder why they had the.

Speaker 38 (51:09):
White dudes for Harris event, It's because they know that
the men are not turning out in the numbers they
need for a win on election day for Kamala Harris. Likewise,
you look at African American voters who have made a
significant shift to vote for Donald Trump. He's pulling right
now better than any Republican candidate in modern history with
African American voters. And the Democrats see these numbers and they're.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Panicking about it.

Speaker 38 (51:32):
And it's why I think that you've seen Kamala Harris
go and do a lot of events trying to reach
out to African Americans. You know, she's got certain performers.
I guess she feels like we'll be pandering enough to
people to get them to come out to vote. The
truth is, it doesn't matter who you are in this country.
People have realized that the four years we had Donald
Trump in the White House were far better for them

(51:53):
than the four we've just lived through. And they're having
a really hard time convincing people otherwise. But look out
for that men to women vote. I think that people
are going to be really surprised when this wraps up
as to how significant that truly is.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Here's another potential problem in a battleground state for the
Harris campaign. Several high profile suburban Detroit mayors who are
Muslim and our Democrats have come out to endorse Trump,
including the mayor of ham Tromick and the mayor of Dearborn.
Which we put that together, that's over three hundred thousand

(52:27):
Middle Eastern centric voters in just in that area alone.
It's the highest Middle East population outside of the Middle East.
Is right there. If they can persuade others, if they
are reflective of the feelings of a lot of those
voters that they think that Trump would be better for peace.
They think Trump at least Trump is not ignoring them

(52:49):
the way they feel the Harris campaign is, then that
could also bode well in a battleground state. Work had
come down just a few thousand votes. Six ' ten.
Time for traffic and weather together, as we check out
the drive once again. Here is sky Mike.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
All right, I'm looking at Nord Freeway here. I just
checked in with my friends with Houston Transtar and yeah,
that is definitely a metro on Nord Freeway outbound at
all at Fallbrook or Aldan Westfield. It's in the feeder.
No big woop here. Just stay on the main lanes outbound.
Actually you don't have a choice. That is a pedestrian accident.

(53:22):
Nothing good's happening at west Road. It's all lanes blocked outbound,
not inbound. Do it a pretty nice good job of
minding your own business here on the inbound Katie Freeway,
Grant Parkway. Look Out, this rick's in a left lane.
I'll bet water calls this one. Two vehicles here. Everybody
looks to be okay, got a new problem to twenty

day is tomorrow. We're at the point now where people
are starting to make their prognostications, their prediction about what's
going to happen. You know, we won't know for sure.
I don't know. I doubt very much in my own
mind that we will know the morning after the election

(55:58):
at this time for sure exactly who is one? I
would be rather surprised. I wouldn't expect that we'll have
a final vote tality or anything close to it from
Pennsylvania or Michigan or many of the other battleground states
that will end up deciding this election. That's why I
say that. But when it's all over said and done with,
what do you think is going to happen? Pierce Morgan

Never sounded so good, all right. Predicting the future, I've
never been particularly good at predicting the future. If I were,
I guess I'd play the lottery more often. But you know,
I have my feelings about how I think the election
will turn on. I'll probably hold my tongue on that.
I'm a little superstitious when it comes to that, But
I don't mind playing the feelings of other people and
listening to the rationale behind why they're making the prediction

(58:53):
they're predicting. Here's Morgan is one of those people who's
predicting a Trump win. Here he is. Look, I think
it's fascinating. It's electrifying.

Speaker 14 (59:02):
Right.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
The whole world is watching this election.

Speaker 17 (59:05):
I remember a period about five months ago when everyone
feared it might be the most boring race in history.
Two old guys juking it out again, how wrong will
we We've had two assassination attempts. We've had Trump and
a garbage truck Trump and McDonald's. Like you said, we've
had Joe Biden getting assassinated politically by his own party
and replaced by Kamala Harris and so on. And now

(59:25):
it's like going on a knife act, isn't it. I mean,
you look at all these swing states, and really you
can't call any of them with any great authority Tonight
there's an outlier poll about Iowa. The show is maybe
Harris is up there.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
I don't believe that it was fifteen points.

Speaker 9 (59:38):
Trump was up, and now just heid that doesn't register.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Put her up doesn't seem right.

Speaker 17 (59:43):
And there's another pole in Iowa which has Trump heavily ahead.
Look my gut feeling. And I had this in twenty sixteen,
and when I was saying and writing it in twenty sixteen,
people were laughing at me, but I kept saying, I'm
getting a feeling that the Trump train is steaming to victory.
I get that feeling again now in LA have been
in New York. I'm getting a lot of people who

(01:00:03):
did not vote Trump last time, but who are prepared
this time. Even if they don't like him, They're prepared
to vote for him this time to stop.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Kamala Harris becoming a president.

Speaker 17 (01:00:12):
I'm going on my guts and I'm feeling he could
actually end up winning quite big. I would compare it
actually to what happened with Tiger Woods in golf. Tiger
Woods was finished. He was under oney one hundred in
the world. Everyone was writing him off, the golf world,
the celebrity world. He was done toast finished could put
and what happened. Tiger Woods didn't get the memo, and
he fought back and he won the Masters in twenty nineteen.

(01:00:34):
Greatest comeback in the history of sport. If Trump pulls
this off, and it is obviously incredibly close, but I
think he will pull this off, and if he does,
it is the greatest comeback in the history of politics.
He becomes the Tiger Woods of politics, and it would
be an extraordinary thing. We can remember come we started
twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
It was over.

Speaker 17 (01:00:54):
Ron DeSantis was surging away in the polls for the
Republican nominee, and Trump was gone done. Look at him now,
it's incredible. No, you you you can't bury Donald Trump.
It cannot be done.

Speaker 6 (01:01:06):
Nothing has been predictable about Donald Trump. No, in nine
years we've been going through this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
I think Piers Morgan is probably right.

Speaker 6 (01:01:14):
You know close. How close was that bullet in.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
The year m m yeah, close. Yeah, It's gonna be
close in the battleground states.

Speaker 6 (01:01:23):
I mean, I really believe there's some divine intervention underway
here personally, That's what I think.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
Yep, Well, I think you're probably right about that. We
of course you know. None of us know for sure
until we see what happens, until all the votes are
counted and we have a chance to see who's counting
them and where they've come from. I would fully predict
that there will be all kinds of election shenanigans, and

(01:01:48):
also at temps or temps at that. But it may
be too big. It may it may indeed end up
being too big to cheat. I mean the early here's he's.

Speaker 6 (01:01:57):
He's been calling for that for a months.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Has, yes, he has. I thought this was really interesting.
I saw Tulci Gabbard make this comment over the weekend
on Fox. I'll share it later, but basically, in a nutshell,
what she said was is that when she goes to
these rallies, she asks the crowd how many of you
are either Democrats or former Democrats? And she estimates somewhere

(01:02:25):
around thirty five to forty percent of the people at
these rallies are not just traditional long term Republicans or
long term Trump supporters. Many of them are, you know,
more of the moderate mainstream Democrats that used to be
the left, used to be able to count unreliably to
vote for them, who have now come over and now

(01:02:47):
no longer they feel like Tulci Gabbert did, like the
party no longer represents them. I mean that's the case.
If he's pulling those kinds of numbers of people who
are former Democrats, can not win.

Speaker 6 (01:03:01):
The problem is these former Democrats may still vote down
ticket for their Democrat buddies. True, and I think that
the Democrats know this, and that's why it's so such
still such a battle.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Yeah, well, other this is for a law spoty.

Speaker 6 (01:03:17):
And if they can lock him up in terms of
the Congress, I don't know.

are there's room for difference of opinion about how to

Nelson says the law is clear in this These monitors quote,
are not permitted if the Secretary of State has the
ability to do that. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said

(01:06:26):
there were ten allegations of vote flipping by machines during
early voting, none of them confirmed, though after investigation, eight
point nine million Texans voted early, about half of all
the registered voters in Texas, more than the FEDS and
voting machines to be concerned about, though, Texas Representative and
Michael McCall says, Chinese hackers are trying to steal audio

(01:06:48):
through phone calls up top US officials, more interference.

Speaker 28 (01:06:53):
They clearly would prefer Harris to prevail in this election.
They have gotten into sensitive data, That's about all I know.
But they've constantly been trying to get into members of Congresses,
especially a VP nominee and a presidential candidate.

McCall says, China has been going after the US in
this way for many years. Six thirty three is our time.
New polling from ABC claims to show Donald Trump is

Trump and Pennsylvania. One of three rallies he did yesterday.
He has four on the schedule today, two in Pennsylvania,
one in North Carolina, and one in Michigan. It was
sixty years ago that Ronald Reagan gave his iconic A
Time for Choosing speech. And here we are America, facing

(01:08:05):
many the same issues today.

Speaker 15 (01:08:08):
And sure I, just like in nineteen sixty four, our
freedom is on the line.

Speaker 30 (01:08:13):
Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, inalienable rights
are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and
freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping
from Ogress.

Inside Syria, Fox is Ashley Stromayer reporting Jewish voters Attorney
more Republican ahead of the election, though tradition dictates that
Kamala Harris will win the base. Political analysts of Elizabeth
Ames says they're starting to see the left's anti Semitism, however,
and calling Trump Hitler like they have is really not
working too well for the dums.

Speaker 33 (01:09:30):
Ironically, Trump is the very opposite. He's trying to deregulate.
He's trying to increase freedom. The people who are talking
like this are they realizing that the Democrats are the
ones who go after you and put you in jail
if they don't like you. They use the state in
a way that Republicans have not.

We do anticipate we may see a surge, but the
thing is in Texas.

Speaker 6 (01:10:18):
You know we're ready, Lieutenant Chris Oliver, as he told reporters,
there are tens of thousands of people in Mexico waiting
to see how the vote turns out tomorrow. Don't expect
the Biden Harris regime to stop this, however, DHS putting
up billboards all across our state advertising oh government paid
for services for illegal alien invaders.

Speaker 10 (01:10:42):
This is likely just another way to encourage more illegal immigration.

Speaker 35 (01:10:45):
The incentive to come into the country illegally have been
very high in the last almost four years. It seems
very unnecessary to me and certainly tone.

Speaker 10 (01:10:53):
That former Border Patrol chief Ron Vittello told KTRH this
is a complete waste of taxpayer money.

Speaker 35 (01:10:59):
This is just another example of where the priorities have
gotten off track. This administration is showing for the rest
of the United States, but they just really don't care
about our concerns over a secure border.

Speaker 10 (01:11:08):
Texas Representative Tony Gonzalez has promised to push his fellow
congressman to cut the funding for these billboards. Ethan Buchanan,
News Radio seven forty KTRH six thirty seven. Aggie's blown
out by South Carolina. It was forty four to twenty.
They dropped down to number fifteen in the latest rankings.
The Horns now fifth and SMU at number thirteen. I'm

(01:11:28):
Suber Fryar on news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
More with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar. This is Houston's
morning news. I would think for a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
Of people that song sounds like gen z you know,
just hanging out and drinking some cold beers and I
don't really want to work. And that's the reputation gen
Z has, but as it misplaced. Despite the enduring stereotype
that gen z Ares are the laziest, least committed workers,
those who would rather put their feed up than clock

(01:12:01):
overtime hours, it's actually the elder workers who bost consistently
take a mid day lunch. Gen Z is the generation
twice is like these boomers to work through lunch. Okay,
maybe they're not hungry. Is this proof that they're not

(01:12:24):
as lacy as maybe it's thought that they are. Are
they doing something else instead? In other words, are they
skipping lunch so they can go home earlier? That might
Maybe that's the case. Maybe they just want to get
out of the office earlier than everybody else. Almost half
of gen z er skip lunch twice or more per week,
despite saying it's the best part of their workday. Hang on,

(01:12:48):
that's like saying the best part of your school day
was recess. Okay, this is not a commitment to work.
If the best part of your workday is lunch, then
you don't really like working so far. I think this
is backing up the stereotype. There are four times as
likely as boomers to feel guilty about those few and

(01:13:10):
far between breaks that they take just eighteen percent of
Boomer's skip lunch twice or more per week, the least
of any age group. Millennials of Gen X fall in
the middle at thirty eight and twenty seven percent, respectively.
Those figures come from corporate catering tech firm Easy cater
and their annual lunch Report. Okay, six forty. Time for

(01:13:30):
draffic and weather together as we check out the drive
once again, Sky Mike's here all.

Speaker 5 (01:13:34):
Right if you're just joining us.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
Obviously, besides the wet freeways, I had to turn your
snooze off. But this North Freeway West Road thing is
not good. It's all lanes blocked here, and obviously we're
having a police investigation.

Speaker 5 (01:13:46):
It involved a pedestrian.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
Outbound, not inbound, and we're revernating it from Green's Point
now southbound to twenty five hard Hats.

Speaker 5 (01:13:54):
You've got trouble two right lines. This one might be stickier.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
And then I thought to wreck, we're packed up from
Red Blue coming in Katie Freeway. Even though we cleared
Graham Parkway advisors. You won't need the visors, but you
will need some patients. Right around Grand Parkway inbound from
Katie Pinoak Road.

Speaker 5 (01:14:10):
You've got who I have.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
I've got Young Albert from Kingwood on the tip line.

Speaker 20 (01:14:14):
Dude, Hey, Sky Mike West Found. No, I'm sorry, East Found.

Speaker 14 (01:14:18):
There is a major accident.

Speaker 20 (01:14:20):
All hallans are shut down.

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
All right, That's what I'm seeing at kirkand all that way.
And then Keith from Springs on forty five North.

Speaker 7 (01:14:27):
Guy, Mike, we have a two star offend defender left
lane southbound right at Little York right.

Speaker 4 (01:14:34):
Banana stickers all around for Keith and Joshua and Andy
and Uber Mike and Rodney from Magnolia and Young Albert
from Kingwood.

Speaker 5 (01:14:41):
And I'll let the rest of the media know about
the North Freeway. Terry.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
I'm Skymike on a Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
From r KTRH Generator Supercenter twenty four hour whether Center,
Terry Smith is here, and the calendar may say November, Terry.
But evidently hurricane season is not quite through with those yet.

Speaker 19 (01:14:57):
The two had no well, you know, hurricane season quote
unquote season is from the beginning of June until the
end of November. And for people who have tracked hurricanes
for a while, like I'm sure a lot of Texans have,
we are very familiar with late season tropical storms and hurricanes,
and so we continue to monitor the tropics until the

(01:15:20):
tropics quite down and they're not quiet. We've got that
low pressure system down in the Caribbean that is now
being called potential tropical cyclone eighteen because the National Hurricane
Center is watching it very closely and expecting it to
become a tropical storm at some point today, perhaps a
hurricane by tomorrow, and make its way into the Gulf

(01:15:42):
of Mexico. Currently the projections are for it to make
its way into the central part of Mexico. The part
of that that concerns me is that puts just anywhere
in the golf in play for some sort of potential impact,
and more so in the central part of the golf states.

Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
That's where the focus is.

Speaker 19 (01:16:05):
But even if you don't get any sort of direct
impact from the system along the coast, they will likely
feel some of the impact in terms of some higher
seas or some increase in wind. So we'll be watching
it and letting you know what happens over the next
couple of days. Right now, I've been busy watching radar
and it's been a very active radar.

Speaker 6 (01:16:25):
And more rain to come today.

Speaker 19 (01:16:26):
A fifty percent chance of those showers and storms again today,
but at eighty percent chance of thunderstorms with some heavy
rain possible tonight and tomorrow morning, as well as slight
risk of severe weather. So it's something a little bit
more urgent than what's happening in.

Speaker 6 (01:16:41):
The golf at the moment.

Speaker 19 (01:16:43):
And then things should quiet down Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
and cool down a little bit too.

All right, temperature right now seventy seven at your official

You are forecast your news. It's Houston's Morning News. You

(01:17:08):
by breaking the equal time rule by booking Kamala Harrison
Saturday Night Live the evening before the election so that
they don't have to worry about booking Donald Trump in
order to give equal time. Do they think they're going
to get away with it? Will they get away with it?
More than that? Coming up next. First, though, it's to

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
Headquarters is use Radio seventy forty kt RH.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
It is six fifty three now and you're in Houston's
morning news right so Kamala Harris was on Saturday Night
Live on Saturday plagiarizing the Donald Trump Saturday Night Live appearance.
It was the exact same skit, only it was her
in the Trump roll of looking in the mirror.

Speaker 6 (01:19:54):
Well, let's just highlight some malagiarism while we're at it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
Why not you play everything else?

Speaker 6 (01:20:00):
It is original with these people.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Not much, no, not much at all. And of course
it wasn't lost on the FCC Commissioner Branding Car that
NBC broke the rules by inviting her to appear on
Saturday Night Live, who said they weren't going to invite
either candidate. But uh, somebody must have made a phone
called somebody needle of help at the last minute. That's

(01:20:24):
that's the same. Quite a bit that you're willing to
put your broadcast license on the line in order to
help you. You must be fairly confident that the FCC
is not going to come after you, because after all,
the FCC is majority Democrat at this point, right, But
what happens if it's not. Anyway, here is FCC Commissioner
Branding Car talking about what needs or should happen as

(01:20:48):
a result of this.

Speaker 9 (01:20:49):
Ego time wole has been on the books for dozens
and dozens of years. NBC knows this because this exact
issue issue has come up time and time again with.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Refect to this exact program.

Speaker 9 (01:21:00):
That's important that the SEC come together and we take action,
otherwise our rules are absolutely meaningless.

Speaker 42 (01:21:06):
What's so perfect about this is that that skit was
the same exact skit as Donald Trump and Fallin, So
she can't even do an original skit. I mean, she
has to plagiarize even the skits for SNL. They can't
figure out what to do with her, so they go,
let's just do the old one with her in it,
because honestly, we have nothing for her. And I felt

(01:21:29):
bad for SNL because they are comedy welfare for the
Democratic candidate.

Speaker 5 (01:21:33):
This is the check at.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
The end of the month. It's not like she earned it.
She's entitled to it.

Speaker 42 (01:21:37):
You know, you got to throw her a bone if
you didn't.

Speaker 21 (01:21:39):
It's you know, DEI for the Democrats, and they treat her.

Speaker 5 (01:21:44):
It's kind of sad.

Speaker 21 (01:21:45):
They treat her like they're special relative, you know, a
little slow, not good on her feet.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
But she's family like your special relative, a little slow
and not good on her feet, but she's family. M Yeah,
I mean that's a great point. Did they did they
copy the Trump skit because they were being asked to
do this as a favorite the last second, they didn't
have anything prepared. Maybe all right. Time for the timeline

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick on Newsmax and maybe they
already have. Nearly nine million have voted in Texas early
in this election, including a record one point two million
in Harris County. Nationwide, in person, early voting turnout nation
surpassed the twenty twenty total by three million. Election interference

(01:25:53):
from DC Well Texas tells the FEZ that their election
monitors are not welcome here tomorrow. The Justice Department planning
to send monitors unasked and basically told by the Secretary
of State to stay out, to several counties, including Harris.
We'll have more on this at seven point thirty. President
Joe Biden called Trump supporters garbage, you know that, and

(01:26:16):
then he took it as another step this weekend.

Speaker 8 (01:26:20):
These are the kind of guys, you're like a smacking
ass hmm.

Speaker 6 (01:26:24):
Biden and Scranton, Pennsylvania on Saturday. Now, remember it was
in October that he called for Donald Trump to be
locked up. Kamala Harris blew off a campaign appearance in
Michigan in order to appear on Saturday Night Live, and
the FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr says it's a violation, he
belieze of the equal time rule.

Speaker 9 (01:26:43):
America's broadcasters have a very special privilege. It's a privilege
they were given originally for free, which is access to
a public resource.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
The airwaves.

Speaker 9 (01:26:52):
In exchange, they have certain obligations.

Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:26:55):
Well, SNL's Lorne Michaels told The Hollywood Reporter earlier in
the campaign that he would not be inviting either candidate
on the show. A lie. The hit is the latest
example of how the Democrats trying to rebrand Harris as
anything other than a radical leftist.

Speaker 10 (01:27:11):
The fact that she's part of the current administration is
a big part of the problem.

Speaker 11 (01:27:15):
She has to say that she's going to be a
force for change without saying what's wrong right now and
that's why she refers to Trump all the time instead
of what's going on right now.

Speaker 10 (01:27:24):
Political consultant Nick Linquist told KTRH that a better idea
would be for her to just embrace her radical record.

Speaker 11 (01:27:30):
She wouldn't be a good candidate if she's stuck to that,
but at least we would know who she is and
what she actually believed. I think she's confusing voters now.

Speaker 10 (01:27:38):
Linquist says that when you have such a long and
radical record, trying to run away from it just strikes
voters as dishonest. Ethan Buchannan News Radio seven to forty KTRH.
It's now seven oh five.

Speaker 12 (01:27:48):
I'd like to begin by asking you a very simple question.

Speaker 23 (01:27:52):
Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

Speaker 6 (01:27:57):
Donald Trump and Georgia last night of three rallies yesterday.
He has four on the schedule today in North Carolina,
two in Pennsylvania, and one in Michigan. A lot that
Trump says he would change he gets another four years.

Speaker 13 (01:28:13):
The swamp really runs deep. I think that he's gotten that,
you know, I think personnel was probably the single biggest
problem that he had in the first term. And so
my guess is, and I think with you know, picking
JD Vance, I think is a signal of that that
you know he's gotten the message.

Speaker 6 (01:28:28):
The American thinker is Vince Coyner. He says, the president
has a massive to do list if re elected. We're
going to have that election coverage for you all night
long if necessary, starting tomorrow night at seven pm on
air on KTRH, dot com and the iHeartRadio app. Seven
oh six is our time. In the ongoing Middle East conflicts,
Iran says it will attract attack Israel between election day

(01:28:52):
tomorrow and the January inauguration, claiming it would be strong
and complex fight all that turmoil, crude oil prices. They've
remained relatively calm. What happens though after election day. Carringham,
with a Texas Alliance of Energy producer, says, well, it
depends who wins.

Speaker 14 (01:29:11):
Here's what's at stake, and you've got one party that
has a greater interest in restricting US spoil and gas
activity in the name of climate change. The other party
has an interest in expanding the US spoil and gas
and energy production.

Speaker 6 (01:29:27):
And he adds it's not just who wins the White House,
it's who controls Congress, National Hurricane Center monitoring a potential
tropical cyclone eighteen this morning. It's in the Western Caribbean,

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
Use Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
Seven o eight is our time here in uson importing.
Is that's kind of ironic? Don't you think that somebody
took the theme song from The Nanny and Breed worked
it for Kamala giving her husband anyway? Wall Street Journal
guest editorial over the weekend gave three reasons why Kamala
Harris won't win, which I thought was interesting. So here's

(01:30:42):
a little analysis of that with a fourth reason by
Republican strategist, A fourth reason why Kamala won't win.

Speaker 34 (01:30:49):
I would actually add our fourth reason, and that's the
fact that she is too focused on Trump's past and
not focused enough on America's future. I mean, she's not
talking about the issues that matter, inflation, securing the border.

Speaker 2 (01:31:02):
You know, all she wants to do is.

Speaker 34 (01:31:04):
Talk about the issues she wants to talk about, not
the issues the American voters want to talk about. I
actually agree, and that's why Trump is a slight favorite
to win, and he's on offense and Kamala Harris is
going backwards on the electoral map at this point, I
do think that he's basically going to run the table
in the Sun Belt. He's going to win North Carolina,
he's going to win Georgia, and he's going to win Arizona,
particularly because inflation in the Swing states is highest in

(01:31:25):
Arizona in Nevada. Right now, in Nevada, he's got a
forty seven thousand early voted advantage. I think he's going
to win all the swing states. The question is which
of the blue Wall states of Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin
can he pick off. Obviously, his most likely path is Pennsylvanian.
If he wins Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, he will
be the forty seventh president United States.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
There you go, there's the math Ford O'Connell, by the way,
is the strategist. There. We'll see. Like I said, we're
down to we're down to the nitty gritty now, Shara
election days tomorrow, polls, these coast poles will be open
at this time tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (01:32:05):
Out of our hands. All we can do is.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
React and we will trust trust me yea.

Speaker 6 (01:32:11):
These exit polls, that's they're also highly suspect too.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
Oh yeah, all the polls are suspect as far as
I'm concerned.

Speaker 6 (01:32:16):
Yeah, I just don't trust any of it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
No, no, And I think that. I think the ones
like the des Moines registered poll, What a joke that was?
You You know what that is?

Speaker 6 (01:32:27):
The Trump down by three in Iowa.

Speaker 2 (01:32:29):
It's an attempt. It's an attempt to try to get
as many people Democrats and show up devots. We can
win this. We can win this, to show up devotes
as possible. That's all they're trying to do with that
you know, some of these organizations, their polls are designed
for a purpose that has nothing to do with accuracy, and.

Speaker 6 (01:32:45):
It's about the down ballot you got. You've got to
get your Democrats to the polls, just like you get
your Republicans the polls and make them vote down ballot.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
Right, Yeah, so you can control the center of the House. Yeah,
all the other things to go, local government, everything that
goes along with it. Seven ten Time for traffic and

probably another hour. So on the outbound inbound you're minding
your own business.

Speaker 5 (01:33:32):
That's good. Six ' ten North look Out McCarty.

Speaker 4 (01:33:35):
We are actually we're gonna call that yeah, six ten westbound,
which makes it northbound two left lanes.

Speaker 5 (01:33:42):
Does that make sense, Terry?

Speaker 4 (01:33:44):
We know your situation, so other people can drive through
it from the Baytown side to the Kadie side, But
of course you are forced being hazardous to take to
southwoop sixty ten if you're trying to go that way. Also,
we're loopy at the squeeze at forty five now, and
also North Grham Parkway.

Speaker 5 (01:33:59):
This one's looking serious.

Speaker 4 (01:34:01):
I really should have led with this, kirkandall that is
eastbound and accident.

Speaker 5 (01:34:05):
All lanes are blocked here.

Speaker 4 (01:34:07):
I don't know who's working that, but look at those
backups from Champion Forest Man.

Speaker 5 (01:34:11):
It's just not the way to go. Do twenty nine
to twenty if you can.

the center, Terry is here. We've got some big, old
fluffy dark clouds out there this morning. Oh yeah, at
least of a few spots. So it's gonna be one
of those days where you hit and miss on the
showers again.

Speaker 6 (01:34:32):
Yes, exactly today.

Speaker 19 (01:34:34):
The showers are hitt and miss, but with the cold
front closing in on Southeast Texas later tonight, the rain
becomes more widespread tonight and tomorrow morning, and some heavier rain.
Even there is a little bit of a risk of
some severe storms, so it could be a bit rough
until it clears out of here. Fifty percent chance of
showers and thunderstorms today. I'm looking at some rain between

(01:34:55):
Sheldon and Pasadena and down toward Pearland. It's another warm,
dam mid upper eighties today. Eighty percent chance of those
thunderstorms tonight and some heavy rain tonight. Eighty percent chance
of getting wet tomorrow morning.

Speaker 6 (01:35:06):
Afternoon.

Speaker 19 (01:35:07):
We should dry out the front moving offshore by the
afternoon tomorrow. Oh, it's going to be cool tomorrow, load
to mid seventies for highs. Then we only have a
slim chance of rain Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and temperatures
running between the upper seventies to low eighties through Friday.

Here Shay seven twenty one now on news radio seven
forty k TRH. These headlines are sponsored by D and
M Auto Leasing. Texas tells a fed stay away after
the DOJ announces election monitors, you know, Democrats one and all,
visit several counties in Texas tomorrow, including Harris County. One
student cheerleader from Luffkin remains hospitalized after a crash involving

(01:37:08):
their bus yesterday happened on the Southwest Freeway near two

Our next update will be at the bottom of the hour.
That would be seven.

Speaker 18 (01:37:25):
Thirty Pasadena, a living clearly reliable KTRH traffic and weather
next on the ten.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
Well, millions w already have voted, as I said, three
million early votes in the US above what it was
in twenty twenty, say Texas setting a record and guessing
Harris County had a big turnout too. But let's ask
State Senator Paul Bettencourt, what's the Harris County turnout been
for early voting? Senator.

Speaker 7 (01:37:52):
It's been over one point two million, so it's a
huge turnout. And by the way, there's a record amount
of voters registered in Texas at eighteen point six million.
So this whole idea, Jimmy, that there's some type of
voter suppression out there, it's just complete hogwash. It's just
made up political propaganda from the Democrat National Committee because

(01:38:15):
they've got an old playbook and they don't know what
else to say about the election.

Speaker 6 (01:38:19):
Yeah, they want to send their monitors in, particularly to
heavy Democrat in past voter areas, right like Harris County.
So what can they do if they're here, if they're
allowed in, and I'm sure they're allowed in in other states,
what do they do? Do they phrase the vote of
Republicans or what?

Speaker 7 (01:38:38):
Sure, they can't do anything, that's the problem. It's preposterous.
First off, this is you know Congressman Green Commissioner ellis
calling in the DOJ to the top five counties in
Texas well, the top five counties in Texas have either
Democrat elected officials running the elections or Democrat appointed elections administrators.

(01:39:00):
So who's watching who here and why? It's just a
political stunt to say, oh, the DOJ is coming to
try to fire up the base. That's my opinion, and
we're going to have dueling press conferences about it today.
But you heard it first here.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
Does this have anything to do with with with trying
to let's say the vote count doesn't turn out either
as well for Democrats as they thought it would, or
turns out even better for Democrats than they thought it would.
Is this their way of saying, see, we came here,
we monitored, everything's on the up and up. You can
believe the results.

Speaker 12 (01:39:37):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:39:37):
Actually, Jimmy, I think it's more of the it's more
of the reverse. It's to say, you know, the only
way you can have a fair election in Texas is
somehow to bring in the Feds. Now, first off, we've
we've ripped out the corrupt elections administrator and replaced that
group in Harris County with the two elected officials who

(01:39:58):
are doing a much better job than the corruption. In fact,
the coruption was so bad they were letting people vote
at the jail two years ago without the documentation. They
were doing it on purpose. They recently got outed on
that when they bragged about it to the Texas Tribune
and I outed them. So this is this is not

(01:40:21):
about doing the right thing by the laws of the state.
It's about doing what a woke a theory is to
try to drive a vote.

Speaker 6 (01:40:30):
Yeah, get people enraged. Yeah, get your base enraged because
they're going to try to keep me from voting. I'm
going to go vote. Maybe they weren't planning on it. Otherwise,
the share you.

Speaker 7 (01:40:40):
Get, the ringing bell. That's exactly what it's about. And Jimmy,
there is something that will say, well, if the vote
turns out negatively, it's very competitive in Harris County. You know,
it's probably within ten thousand votes. The Republicans are slightly behind,
which is astonishing because there are a lot more Democrats
in this in this county. But it's what about the
reality of running the election correctly. That's why it's all

(01:41:04):
political propaganda. By bringing in the DOJ they cannot go
into a poll under Texas law. Period.

Speaker 2 (01:41:11):
Let me ask you how you feel the vote has
been going across the state. You know, we've heard of
some problems in tern County, we've reported those. Of course,
we haven't heard of much of any issues here in
Harris County. Have we had any issues, Have we had
any problems or things pretty much been smooth.

Speaker 7 (01:41:26):
Well, Lieutenant Governor Patrick cut out a post over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:41:30):
That ran down every one of.

Speaker 7 (01:41:32):
The supposeded I voted for Trump, but it flipped to
Harris and out of millions of votes that we've had already.
They think maybe that occurred once, but they're not even sure.
So first off, your vote will count. The machines in
Harris County are hard inner civic. They're the best that
you can buy, and you have paper ballots, so you'll

(01:41:55):
see your ballot printed and you can read it before
you stick it in the scanner. So I think we're
going to have a good election. Is very competitive in
Harris County, so you know, all these votes do count.
And just don't believe this leftist progress from propaganda that
there's voter suppression going on. I mean, think about it.

(01:42:17):
It's so preposterously stupid because they're bringing the DOJ to
monitor Democrat elected officials who the state legislature put in
charge because we got rid of Coreer.

Speaker 6 (01:42:28):
Said, how fast do you think the counting will be
this time?

Speaker 7 (01:42:34):
I don't expect that we'll know what's happening on the
presidential election Tuesday night, and and I don't expect that
we'll have the final county figures until the wee hours
of the morning or maybe when you're back on on
Wednesday morning. That the however, probably two thirds of the
vote will be early vote, so we'll have a pretty

(01:42:57):
good idea of where things stand before or for about
ten o'clock tonight, I mean, excuse me, ten o'clock Tuesday night.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):

him his ability to do that.

Our country is a crooked country. Okay, it's a crooked country,

All Right, so New York Governor Kathy Hochel over the
weekend calling Republicans, at least Republicans in per state on
American Here she is here, she is making her pitch.
With the reaction from Jennine Pirou, if you're.

Speaker 44 (01:51:33):
Voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting
for someone who supports Donald Trump, and you're anti woman,
your anti abortion, and basically you're anti American because you
have just trashed American values and what our country is
all about, over and over and over, and you will
wear this on election day.

Speaker 2 (01:51:52):
What is going on?

Speaker 40 (01:51:53):
Well, they continue to despise us if we it all
support Donald Trump. But I think it's amazing she's trashed
everyone who doesn't agree with her politically. To me, she's irrelevant, Okay.
I mean she's the one who said that we were
all imagining crime in New York. Remember when she ran,
And it's too bad that leez Heldon didn't beat her.
But I got to tell you that ad where they

(01:52:14):
say if you're Kamala says, if you're about freedom, justice
and compassion, you're going to vote for her. Like compassion
for who? For Americans who are the victims of crimes
because we've got open jails, open borders, they've opened our
pocket books. Who do they have compassion for everybody but
the working tax paying American.

Speaker 5 (01:52:34):
Well, let me go back a little bit.

Speaker 40 (01:52:36):
So I don't know anything about the.

Speaker 5 (01:52:38):
Polls right now.

Speaker 40 (01:52:39):
They say that Kamala is up three in one poll
and Trump is up ten to one poll in Iowa.
You know, I'm not sure that any of these polls
accurately reflect what's going on. I really think it's social
media now.

Speaker 2 (01:52:52):
I think it's the.

Speaker 40 (01:52:53):
Social media that reflects what is going on and what
people are thinking. So when you've got hundreds of millions
of views of Donald Trump and McDonald's or tens of
millions of him in a garbage truck, and then they
then spill over into hundreds of thousands of comments, then
what you've got are people who are more in tune

(01:53:13):
with what's going on and not so much in tune
with the polling. And by the way, they say that
new York Times says that Democrats are more likely to
pick up the phone when it comes to polling than Republicans.
So anyway, relative to twenty twenty, Trump is running much
better than he did. And I think right now the
test is can you get people to go out and vote,

(01:53:34):
not who they're going to vote for, but whether they'll vote.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
I just didim chok that we're at the point where
we have somebody who actually thinks that if you don't
support abortion is un American. That they that's now a
value for somebody to have right supporting that seven forty

Well to the west of us.

she sees at the rallies. You know, she's at all
these rallies. She RFK Junior have a tendencies speaking the
same rallies together, and she always asks, she says, she
always asks the question, how many of you are Democrats

(01:56:38):
or former Democrats? And she's always amazed by how many
people raise their hand. More in that story coming up next. First, though,
traffic and weather together as we check out the drive
once again with sky Mike.

Speaker 4 (01:56:49):
All right, let's check on the north side here, Graham Parkway.
Get a time stamp. We had that wreck at Kirkandall
that's out of the way.

Speaker 5 (01:56:56):
Have they cleared it? Shows it cleared.

Speaker 4 (01:56:58):
Twelve minute drag that way, Go ahead, stay the course
on the Grand Parkway north. Also, we've cleared the East
text Freeway outbound reck of the beltway. Never was that
big of a smash for inbound drivers. Kathy from Porter

up the investigation. North Freeway outbound at west Road coming.

Speaker 6 (01:57:16):
Over the bridge that should be opening up probably within
the next half hour.

Speaker 4 (01:57:21):

minute wait from Parker. So let's jump on the hardy

Our next update will be at the top of the hour.

Speaker 45 (01:58:32):
Keeping you in the know all the information in real time,
and again the now right now News Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 2 (01:58:41):
I don't mind if you're switching sides as long as
you're switching sides, not just for the presidential race. How
about switching sides down ballid too, you know, voting that
are vote that R all the way down instead of
you know, voting R at the top and then switching
back to the D's Ulcy Gabbard though I think she
probably is interested. She and our junior are both very

(01:59:04):
interested in how many people are you know, former Democrats
who feel disinfected and now we're voting for people with
an R next to the name. Here's what she had
to say about what she sees showing up at the
Trump rallies.

Speaker 46 (01:59:17):
Well, there's a lot of energy building, that's for sure,
and it's palpable on the ground. I just want to
share some of the really incredible and unique experiences we've
had that event that we just held in Madison, Wisconsin
a few days ago. At every one of these events
that I've been doing with Bobby Kennedy.

Speaker 2 (01:59:33):
I asked the audience.

Speaker 46 (01:59:35):
Raise your hand if you're a Democrat or a former Democrat,
And in almost every event somewhere between, you know, thirty
five to fifty percent of the room will raise their hand.

Speaker 5 (01:59:45):
It was no different in Madison.

Speaker 46 (01:59:47):
The cool thing was this though, When their hands went up,
there's probably a couple thousand people in the hall there.
The rest of the audience started to turn around and
look around, and they all stood up and cheered and
welcome them and just surrounded them really with love and kindness.
And I had so many people come up to me
at the end of that saying I came in here afraid.

(02:00:09):
I've never been to a political rally before. I didn't
know what to expect. I'm a Democrat, lifelong Democrat, never
voted before. Different variations of this, but each walking out
saying I'm voting for Donald Trump because of what I
experienced here today.

Speaker 41 (02:00:23):
You know, Tulsie, when Mark Cuban says Donald Trump doesn't
like to surround himself with smart, intelligent, independent women, it's
hard not to see that's a direct shot at Kelly
and Conway, Kaylee mcnanny, Linda McMahon, a whole host of
other women as well, including youth Tulsie. It seems like
it's a direct shot at someone like you.

Speaker 46 (02:00:42):
You know, there's actually something much darker that he is
implying there, because the premise of his statement is that
he believes that Liz Cheney and female warmongers like her
are what defines strong women. They are hypocrite and cowards
because when you look at people like Liz Cheney, she

(02:01:04):
is eager to send our troops into harm's way, she
is eager to advocate for more stupid wars, but she
and other warmongers like her will never volunteer to put
their lives on the line for these military adventures they're
advocating in.

Speaker 5 (02:01:18):
I just finished a.

Speaker 46 (02:01:19):
Couple of days of Army Reserve duty at Fort Sill, Oklahoma,
and yesterday morning I stood there on the graduation field
and saw a few hundred brand new soldiers graduating from
basic training, probably a thousand family members there to celebrate them,
and it was so moving, and I was thinking about
people like Liz Cheney when I was watching them, because

(02:01:41):
these are the young men and women who will pay
the price, potentially with their lives, if people like Liz
Cheney Dick Cheney and Kamala Harris are allowed to be
in power.

Speaker 2 (02:01:53):
Yeah, the military industrial complex. Okay to me. That's hopeful though,
that there are that many former Democrats that are showing up,
and especially at a rally, you.

Speaker 6 (02:02:08):
Know, well why not they're fun.

Speaker 2 (02:02:11):
Well yeah, but I mean, you know, especially people who
haven't voted before. You know, people that don't vote don't
go to political rallies unless all of a sudden they're
motivated to vote. Yeah, so that's good to see too. Well,
tomorrow's the big day this time.

Speaker 6 (02:02:27):
Like I said, it's out of our hands. Just react now.

Speaker 2 (02:02:30):
I hate it when it's out of my hands. It's
called lack of care if it.

Speaker 6 (02:02:35):
Was ever in our hands to begin with. I mean,
all you can do is state your position and try
to that's it. Let people see. Hey, they're all there
are alternatives.

Speaker 2 (02:02:46):
That's what we try.

Speaker 6 (02:02:46):
Like you've been force fed.

Speaker 2 (02:02:48):
Yeah, well, we'll be back tomorrow morning. We'll see tomorrow morning,
bright early at five am. I'll see you the saffarm
four and nine fifty. We may, we may see you
for a loon, yeah, we may.

Speaker 6 (02:02:58):
I hope we don't have to relive what we did
four years ago,
