(03:36):
crowds in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. At the Steelers
Jets game in Pittsburgh, the stadium erupted in chance of USA. Earlier,
he drew hundreds lining the streets at a neighborhood McDonald's
just outside Philadelphia, where he talked fries with employees frying
and serving up containers himself.

Speaker 9 (03:56):
Frank Vince talk.

Speaker 10 (03:57):
So for our first word that is going out the window,
We're gonna need three medium fries. So would you like
to add put the media prize in the bag.

Speaker 11 (04:04):
I think.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
She was a little nervous there. He worked the drive
of window two, giving out meals, telling folks it's quote
compliments of Trump. Earlier, at the town hall with some
eight thousand supporters, Trump drew the endorsement of three union
locals representing steel workers who gifted him with a hard
hat and he messed up his Harry put it on.

(04:28):
VP Kamala Harris mocked a couple of pro life protesters
at whatever rallies in Wisconsin. She was speaking to a
crowd of about three thousand, mostly pro abortion supporters when
the two protesters shouted Christ is Lord, Jesus is King.
Harris said, oh, you guys are at the wrong rally
the right. Vice President will make stops in three so

(04:49):
called blue Wall states on today with former Republican Congresswoman
Liz Cheney for what's being called a moderated conversation, kind
of like that at Jay six Committee. Democrats trying to
lock down power by putting in place a new rule
right now to make it harder for conservatives to file
appeals with friendly federal judges and courts, you know, like

(05:12):
the Democrats do.

Speaker 12 (05:14):
One of the things I know about the left, they're
not going to let up. They're in a titanic battle
to control this country and to shove conservatives to the side.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Gary Pollin with a Texas Conservative Review, He says it
shows Democrats are starting to get a little nervous about
Harris's chances, so they're preparing for another four years of
lawfare to keep Trump from being effective. US investigating the
leak of two top secret documents that showed apparently American

(05:44):
intel is recording possible Israeli plans for carrying out an
attack on Iran. Two US officials say those leak documents
look real, but that national security damage has been confined.
It is now five oh six, so called scientists now
predicting a cooler than average oncoming La Nina climate for US. Well,

(06:04):
how does that fit with their planet heating up narrative?

Speaker 13 (06:09):
Shara mark Morano with the Climate Depot says, this is
just more of the climate hoax.

Speaker 14 (06:15):
This is a campaign cause doesn't really matter what's true
and what's not. It's supposed to be science, but this
is about a narrative and it's about activists.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
And what about the narrative of warming oceans.

Speaker 14 (06:26):
The claims that they're claiming for record heat in the
oceans are a temperature change of three and a half
thousands of one degree. They're not even measurable in real
world data.

Speaker 13 (06:36):
The reality is the climate change narrative is melting. Jeff
Biggs News Radio seven forty kh.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
We've got the growth of artificial intelligence. It's a boon
apparently for progress in the economy, but a major drag
on the power grid. Microsoft already warning it's AI data
centers are just about out a power. AI consultant Matt
Rosen says the industry's going to have to look for
new sources.

Speaker 15 (07:02):
Microsoft is bought in the old Three Mile Islands. They're
bringing nuclear plants back online, so I think you're going
to see nuclear power make a comeback. So it's really
pulling on a lot of different levers, from more energy production,
the more efficient energy usage.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
He says, companies are going to have to get faster microchips,
which they will in smaller data centers in the future
in order to advance the technology. Texas came up short
in Green Bay Sunday. Yeah, in the last second of
the game. They fell to the Packers with a field
goal twenty four to twenty two. The five to two
Texas now will host the four to three Indianapolis Colds

(07:35):
at Energy this Sunday at noon. I'm Sheber Fryer on
news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You like free stuff, We all like free stuff.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Guess what our iHeartRadio app is free and free never.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Sounded so good. Five o eight is our time here
in Houston's warning news. USPS has reached a tentative agreement
with the mail carrier union. They haven't had a contract
since May of twenty twenty three. By the way, they
don't get paid a bunch mail carriers. Average Texas mail
carrier makes about thirty seven thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
Yeah, I think that union has about two hundred thousand employees. Yes,
but also they take care of retirees too, So I.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Mean, yeah, that's where the big expense.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Where the money is. But I mean there's seven unions,
five hundred thousand US Postal workers overall being represented by
seven different unions.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
We privatize, this is a big one. Yeah, if we privatize,
we could really find that hurd good way anyway, that
aside here, I mean, this is not a this is
not a big raise. In fact, it's interesting to me
what the most important thing in this was. Uh, the
carriers will get three one point three percent raises, two
of them will be applied retroactively. They've been negotiating for

(08:52):
almost twenty months. Contract covers city mail carriers as to
be ratified by union members of a deadline for the
vote by mail process. In that ironic vote by mail
on the mail carrier union was not announced. The most
important non salary item, what do you suppose that was
for the mail carriers? Give you a clute? Has something

(09:14):
to do with the delivery vehicles that they use. They're
number one reform. Yeah, the number one requirement going forward
must have a c All the new ones do. But
if you if they want to get them to use
a vehicle without air conditioning, they have to renegotiate with
the union to do it. I don't blame them for that.

(09:35):
You're out there at the Texas heat in Texas all
summer long.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Do those vehicles have heat in the wine?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I think they do if it's working. I mean, some
of those some of those old you know, mail carrier
I don't know what they call them, you know, I'm
sure the special name for the vehicles that kind of
look a little leg a g.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
It's rare though, I mean, at least in my neighborhood.
I rarely see one broken down. I mean it's been
it's been years since somebody had to say, yeah, I've
seen to haul off a postal.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I've seen a feel in the back of a tow truck,
but I've never seen them broken down in the libbhood.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
They must maintain the.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I think I think they were made to last. I
think they know. You can't say you didn't get your
money's worth out of them. But the new ones are
all going to have AC five eleven time for traffic

Take on the day, five nineteen. Now Here in Houston's
Warning News, we have another recall for this steria Serrah
frozen waffles. This time frozen waffles. Here's what I figured
out too about food supply. The food supply reminds me
of where we're at with appliances. It doesn't matter what
the brand name is on the appliance. You don't know

(13:18):
who made it. A lot of the appliances are all
made by the same company, they just slap a different
name on it. Evidently, most of the frozen waffles made
in America actually come from Canada, and they're all coming
from the same manufacturer. They just slap a different name
on them. Food Lion, Great Value, HB Higher, Heart of
His Publics. The list goes on and on and on

(13:41):
of these brands that are all impacted by this frozen
waffle sold at Public's, Target, Walmart, and many other stores
for listeria comes out of a manufacturing facility in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
FDA said as recall alert says that it contaminated with
Listeria A can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in

(14:02):
young children, frail, or elderly people. So if you have
frozen waffles in your freezer, check and make sure that
they're not on this list. Five twenty time for traffic

time I beg to differ, sir. The former president and
perhaps the next president of the United States did work
at McDonald's, although he did not accept any pay. Now
he did. He not accept any pay for working his
shift at McDonald's making fries, but he also picked up

(16:29):
the tab for the McDonald's that was being served. One
of the reasons I think is because he contaminated the
fries with extra salt, because he likes some salty. No surprise,
he put some extra salt on the fries. But they
taught him how to make the fries, how to bag
the fries, and then of course serve some fries up

(16:51):

two and would have become the first person executed for
a death resulting from shaken baby syndrome. After attempts to
stop his execution were shut down, there was a group
of Texas lawmakers who subpoened him to testify about his case.
Back and forth it went all the way to the
State Supreme Court at testimony today. State and federal investigators

(23:41):
are still on the scene of a deadly helicopter crash
in Houston's Second Ward last night as a private touring
helicopter out of Ellington Field. It hit a radio tower
just before eight last night, and it killed all four
people on board, including a child. No one on the
ground was injured. The lights on the radio tower were
reported out last year. Week a seventy year old woman

(24:02):
grazed by a bullet sitting in her home in northeast
Harris County, ed Gonzalez's sheriff said it seems to be
random gunfire. The woman was not targeted. She was taken

Record numbers at Texans registered to vote this time around.
Jane Nelson, the Secretary of State, says more than eighteen million,

(24:25):
six hundred thousand Texas have registered to cast ballots, a

town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania yesterday and vowed to ensure
two things for this country.

Speaker 20 (24:42):
We need strong borders. We need great elections. If we
don't have great elections and strong borders, then we don't
have a country.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
A new poll from Atlas Intel showing Trump leading Harris
fifty one forty eight percent in five key swing states.
A group of Democrats in Congress sent a letters of
the largest US companies asking them to hold on to
their DEI programs, you know, diversity Equity Inclusion Shara.

Speaker 13 (25:08):
Basically, they don't want DEI to die.

Speaker 22 (25:12):
Absolutely ridiculous. It is once again proving that the Congressional
Democrats do not understand what the oaths they took to
the American people or their job actually is.

Speaker 13 (25:22):
That's political commentator Raven Harrison, who says the Dems like
to make up the rules except for themselves.

Speaker 22 (25:30):
Why don't we talk about AOC being in Congress for
seven years and being worth twenty nine million dollars on
a salary of one hundred and fifty five thousand a year.

Speaker 13 (25:38):
The move comes after several major corporations announced they are
scrapping Dei, Chuff Biggs News Radio seven forty kt.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
H Well Texas, A and M's continuing ins Awoke and
is now offering a new course connecting gender and race
to societal inequalities. Conservative active as Christian Collins says this
marksism is central to the Democrat plan to radicalize the
next generation.

Speaker 29 (26:05):
This is the time to reach them and the Democrats,
the far left. They're doing an excellent job of infiltrating
our universities and doing exactly what they're doing with their
young people, because that's going to change our country for
a generation.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
He says, parents better thank hard before spending their money
on colleges and university educations. Shouldn't come as any surprise
to any of us. According to a new gallupol a
third of all Americans don't trust mainstream media at all.

Speaker 30 (26:37):
That's probably because they aren't even trying to hide their
left wing bias anymore.

Speaker 31 (26:41):
It's not particularly surprising. We still see evidence of it
all the time right now. I mean, you have CBS
editing a sixty minutes interview to make Kamala Harris look better.

Speaker 30 (26:50):
Jeff McCall with DePaul University told KGOH, this is leading
to many people just tuning out completely.

Speaker 31 (26:55):
Which I guess is fine that if the news is
going to be biased, But on the other hand, then
we have a lot of Americans who really don't even
want to become informed about the issues of the day.

Speaker 30 (27:04):
Unsurprisingly, Gallip reports that fifty four percent of Democrats still
have a great deal of trust in the media. Ethan
beginning news Radio seven forty ke tr each looking at
our money five thirty six.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Now, healthcare premiums have risen twenty percent just this year.
The Biden Harris regime is accused now of trying to
disguise what's coming next year by siphoning money from the
Medicare trust The.

Speaker 32 (27:30):
Biden Harris administration saw this trend in premiums up by
double digits. They launched a demo which took money out
of the Medicare Trust Fund and gave it to health
insurance plans to buy down some of the premium increase.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
Yeah, gave it to the insurance companies. Republicans Strategist CEO
of Horizon Government Affairs Joel White. He says the plan
didn't work as premiums they are going to be going
up again next year, you know, right after the alle
action by about twenty three percent. Oh yeah. Another effect
of that Biden here is economy. More Americans underwater on

(28:08):
their car loans. Ivan Drury with Edmunds says, they're being
forced to come to different terms.

Speaker 33 (28:14):
Now, if you have a negative equity, average APR is
closer to eight percent, muntly payment eight hundred and ninety
four dollars, terms closer to seventy six months, So you
can see how this dramatically changes your layout.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Seventy six average amount ode on upside down loans now
an all time high of over sixty four hundred dollars.
The game, well, it's changed leads seven times yesterday and
in the last second or so, the Texas lost to

at home against Indianapolis. I'm Sherby Friar on News Radio
seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Fight Fight, Fight.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
This is where you get the very latest the presidential
election Youth Radio.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Seven k t r H. It's five point thirty eight
now here in Houston's Born News. Early voting starts today.
I think we're going today, so I'll have a report
for you tomorrow. How busy it was where I am?
I'm I'll be voting at Lone Star College, which is
we're in uh. I think it's in the Woodlands technically,
kind of that borderline between tom Ball and the Woodlands

(29:30):
right around Kirkandall.

Speaker 8 (29:32):
You don't have to.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
Vote in your neighborhood. You can vote at any poll
that's open.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
I think that's where we'd only vote anyway.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
Yeah, you know, you can vote anywhere in Harris County.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
But here's one of the things I was wondering, because
you know, one of the areas where I pride myself on.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
If you're a Harris County resident, other y you vote
in another one.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah. One of one of the areas I was concerned
about though going into this is that is the is
the judicial races, because they don't they don't really tell
you who the Republicans are and who the Democrats are.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Oh, there's a bunch where it's just Democrat. I look
at the sample ballot. No, they do tell you Democrat
and Republican at least on the sample ballot.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Well that's good to hear, ye In case you don't
know who some of these people are though, if you
go to the Harris County GOP website here's kind of
Republican party website, they will list for you all the
judges that are running and what district and what seat
they're in. So if you want to go ahead and
fill that out ahead of time or have that handy
with you, you can take that with you. You can take

(30:27):
a sample ballot with you that's already filled out, so
you know exactly how it is you want to vote.
You know, if you're not planning to vote either a
straight party or you're not sure what the deal is
with the judges, and that's something that can come in
kind of handy. Among the things you cannot bring, however, Well,
first of all, let's do this. You have to bring
an ID. Yes, you have to show that you who

(30:49):
are you are who you say you are to vote
here in Texas, they would prefer if you bring a
registration card. But to be honest with you, I've never
been asked for one vote a registration card. So they
normally if you have like a either a driver's license,
passport or military idea, that's enough. You can bring a
sample ballot. As I said, you cannot bring a gun.

(31:11):
You cannot you cannot use your cell phone at any
point in time.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
You can't electioneer, You can't try to tell other people
what you do.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Right. If you and if you bring somebody with you
for whatever reason, they that person is going to have
to test the fact that they did not unduly influence
you or your decisions or they're not voting on your behalf.
In order for you to have somebody with you, and
that's the rules. Polls open. I have to look up
the hours here seven am, seven am to what's six, no,

(31:41):
seven to seven throughout early proud early voting. Okay, good,
Why you chances to get out there and do it?
Five forty one? Traffic and weather together. Can you bring
your dog? I don't think you can bring your dogs.
Put about your slinking. I don't know what they would
do with a slinky, but you would stand the risk
of it having it confiscated, and I know you don't
want to help kill it.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
I can't live without my slinky. Let's go to the

Speaker 17 (33:06):
You're right, plenty of time for that part of the
forecast to change. What's not going to change is a
staying dry this week. We've got nothing but sunshine, high pressure,
no little storms heading our way. There is an area
of low pressure in the plains, but that's going to
stay so far to the north it'll have no impact
on us. Today's a warm day similar to yesterday, low

we've been to the McDonald's that President Trump was at

(33:58):
in Pennsylvania also on Friday, and he's been getting around. Friday,
he was back in Michigan. We have a US Senate
candidate Mike Rogers talking about some of the campaign ads
that have been airing in Michigan, which had been very
very strange. These are don ballad races for Senate House

(34:19):
of Representatives where you've got Democrats who are agreeing that
that have clips of Trump in their ads and they're
agreeing with him. What does that tell you they're vulnerable?
What does that tell you about how worried they are
about the direction that Michigan is going in? And uh

(34:39):
and having Kamala Harrison happening in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Casey, isn't that Pennsylvania?

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Bob Casey think you're right?

Speaker 5 (34:46):
The Senator, I can't remember. He's not Michigan.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
No, it's not Michigan. I mean yeah, What does that
tell you when you've got you know, progressive so we're
using Trump in their campaign ads? Anyway, More than that
coming up in just a moment the vote. Uh huh.
First though, we've got traffic and weather together Trump McDonald's video.
Did you what that's just hilarious? Did you ever work
at McDonald's. I'm not. I've never actually did fast food.

Speaker 4 (35:13):

and I was horrible at it anyway.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Longs can't see you with the fudge paddle, I really can.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
People would ask you questions while you're working.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Drove me crazy Southwest Freeway outbound at He'll crop?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
It's a little town. It's right next to an Arbert's
this today. I was born in technically, oh really, yes,
you're place of birth. There are many other infamous things
about Ipsilent and people go into at any rate. It's
a city of Michigan, and Michigan is in play. And
Mike Rodgers Senate candidates says, this is crazy. What's going
on with all these progressive candidates borrowing Donald Trump's programs

(38:27):
and even using clips of him in their ads, you.

Speaker 34 (38:30):
Know, and What's the interesting thing is we're seeing this
in other Senate races. Wisconsin, they're coming out showing Trump's
Trump's face in a Democrat ad.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Same with Casey in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 34 (38:41):
I think this tells you their candidate, Kamala Harris is imploding.
People are starting to understand that she just really doesn't
know what in the heck she's doing, and that progressive
agenda is going to kill states like Michigan, banning gas
cars and gas stoves, and allowing biological mails to compete
against our daughters, all of those things they've been promoting

(39:03):
and voting on until election season.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Now they have.

Speaker 34 (39:07):
I call it campaign conversion where they think, well, we've
got to go a different direction, and they're the ones
to get it done. So, I mean, our rice is
right where we need them to be. If they're starting
to talk about Donald Trump, I think we're going to win.
The EV mandate is going to kill the auto company.
Just think about the EV mandates that have already happened,
and remember there's a five year planning cycle for these automobiles.

(39:31):
Stellantis just announced twenty four hundred layoffs General Motors one
thousand layoffs. Ford said they had a charge off, which
means they lost five billion dollars in their ev division.
People don't want to buy the car that Kamala Harris
and my opponent Alyssa slock and are trying to make
you have to buy.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
And so that is having a tremendous negative impact here.

Speaker 34 (39:54):
We've lost twenty nine thousand manufacturing jobs just in the
last four years here in the state of Michigan. It's
been brutal. And so I know they come back at
election time and say no, no, no, we're the moderate
And oh, by the way, I talked to Donald Trump
on an occasion, this is about a serious and economic
problem for our people here in Michigan, who are having

(40:14):
a hard time buying groceries than I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
And so people get it.

Speaker 34 (40:18):
The Autoworker coalition for the Democrats falling apart, the air
of Muslim coalition for the Democrats falling apart, and black
mails are coming over to the Republican Party in numbers
we just haven't ever seen before.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
And again that's a big story. If Silientis is talking
to Governor Gretchen Whimer about moving their headquarters out of Detroit,
out of Michigan and leaving for another state because things

thing to witness.

Speaker 5 (42:49):

big turnout and actually a more smoothly run election this

Speaker 35 (43:15):
She believes Clark Hudspeth and her team have been working
very hard to correct any issues, to find any weaknesses

Trump will begin a two day campaign sweep across central
North Carolina today. Three rallies scheduled there. House Speaker Mike
Johnson also negating the Democrat Net narrative that Donald Trump
would use military against his political enemies if he's elected.
In a contentious interview on CNN of course State of

(44:26):
the Union, Johnson explained Trump's plan to use the National
Guard and even military if necessary, to rid America of
criminal illegal aliens. Yes, it's an invasion. As poles worsened
for the Democrats, they're now trying to lock in power
in the judiciary, the judicial system, and the federal judges.

Speaker 30 (44:48):
They want to make it harder to file appeals with
conservative judges.

Speaker 12 (44:52):
They're not satisfied now to try to find a friendly judge.
They want to be able to stack the deck so
they can ensure they get a friendly judge who will
hams the Trump agenda.

Speaker 30 (45:01):
Gary Polland with the Texas Conservative Review says this just
goes to show you where their real priorities are.

Speaker 12 (45:06):
They're interested in power and they want totally complete power
in the country and send the rest of us who
are moderates or conservatives, I guess packing.

Speaker 30 (45:14):
Pauland says this is a good indicator that if Trump
does win next month, you can expect four more years

(45:44):
Hesbial a drone launched from Lebanon targeting his house north
of Tel Aviv on Saturday, but according to his office,
a prime minister and his wife weren't in the building
and there were no casualties. Reports that were in store
for a cooler than average Lanina later this year, and
Mark Morana with a climate depot says, well, just more

(46:05):
evidence that the climate change narrative is falling apart.

Speaker 14 (46:09):
This is part of this game where basically they use
these ocean cycles to weaponize the climate debate. It's worse
that we taught or they try to ignore it if
it's a Latina and it's cooler.

Speaker 5 (46:20):
Yeah, He notes climate changes cyclically and naturally. Oceans actually
were much warmer during the medieval warm period. Six oh
five is our time. AI is rapidly sucking up the
power on our grid.

Speaker 36 (46:38):
Microsoft warning the data centers that produce artificial intelligence products
will soon reach their capacity and require new power sources.
AI consultant Matt Rosen says the tech industry is already
looking at solutions like faster chips and smaller data centers.

Speaker 15 (46:51):
Figure out how do we make these models more energy efficient,
but there probably is going to be a need for
more power. So for the average American, I think it's
going to be incumbent upon government company to like to
kind of pull the levers where they can so we
don't have ground outs blockouts every years to come.

Speaker 36 (47:05):
Nuclear power is another solution. Microsoft recently signed a deal

more retirees and fewer workers per retiree.

Harris the borders are that opened up our border to
ten men and legal immigrants running while women getting raped

look right, your smile looks right. It can make all that.
It can make for a lot better dental health experience too.
I know, for example, my lower teeth were very very
crooked in the front and I'd get tarder built up

(54:53):
and it was really really hard to clean those teeth.
I mean they used to. I used to spend a
lot of time in the dentist office getting those teeth cleaned,
and it was a very difficult thing to do because
they were crooked. Not anymore, it's so simple. They're not
a tartar trap like they used to be. It's really
easy to keep those teeth clean and keep my smile

Hi, this is Chris Wootin with your clear direction for
retirement minute. Would you build a house without a blueprint?
Of course not yet. One of the biggest retirement mistakes
we see is that folks are more focused on products
than they are financial planning. It's important to remember that
financial products are the tools utilized to execute a sound
financial plan. A hammer becomes pretty useless to build a

(57:56):
house if there are no blueprints to work from. Financial
product shouldn't begin the conversation with your advisor. They should
be the natural byproduct of the financial planning process and
your unique situation. Any financial product can be bad if
used in appropriately, so do some real planning and don't
get sold as an independent fiduciary. We seek to give
you clear direction for retirement. Call us today for a

How did all of this happen?

drug dealers and criminals, inflation in groceries, gasoline, even a

including Colin Alright, are demanding taxpayers pay for sex change

Guess what Our iHeartRadio app is free and free never

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
So the sixty Minutes interview has got a lot of attention.
Can't wait to talk to our next guest about that.
His name is Jeff TheCall. He's the Media Stuce professor
to Paul University. There have been calls for the license
of CBS over this. There have been calls for at
the very least a release of the original interview. Jeff
that they did so that can they can see exactly

(01:03:26):
how much editing went into, in some cases completely changing
her answers to questions, is this something just blows over
for sixty minutes or is this just another thing that
we're going to look back on it as the ultimate
you know, ultimately led to the demise of the mainstream media.

Speaker 31 (01:03:46):
I think sixty minutes has stepped on a landmine here.
You know, sixty minutes over the years has had a
great reputation as a as a you know, a bastion
of journalistic excellence, and of course it's quite in favor
of the the kind of liberal audience that it appeals to.
But I must say, you know, when you think about
Kamala Harris and her campaign, one of the key issues

(01:04:08):
has been can she explain her policies? You know, do
her policies make sense? You know, she has a reputation
as somebody who comes off as rather ambiguous in public
speaking and is famous for her word salads. So I
think when CBS started editing this sixty minutes interview, they
made a big mistake because really one of the issues

(01:04:30):
is can she be coherent? And when they get into
editing her to try to make her look better, they're
clearly trying to adjust the campaign rhetoric in her favor.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
And so I'm not.

Speaker 31 (01:04:41):
Sure this is going to blow over very quickly for
sixty minutes. And one thing they could easily do was
just release the entire video that they've got to let
everybody see how they edited it, because I think, you know,
when one of the campaign issues is can Kamala Harris
actually express herself? I think they owe it to us
to let us be able to see how she answered

(01:05:03):
the questions. But you know, I must say I'm going
to back up just a second. It is common in
media interviews, you know, on radio and television to edit
you know, the people you talk to. That's usually done
for time and to try to you know, try to provide,
you know, some structure to the interview. But this is

(01:05:23):
not the case for Kamala Harris. Sixty Minutes edited this
to try to help her campaign sound yes, and it
goes to show that the media is activist in nature
these days, that they've moved away from their professional standards
of yesteryear. And that explains why, you know, in the

(01:05:43):
Gallop polling, media credibility is tanking and has declined a
great deal over the years because people don't trust them.
And well, the sad thing is when the audience can't
trust sixty minutes anymore, the media as a whole, I
think is in disrepair.

Speaker 5 (01:06:00):
It has been a long slow slide and certainly has
happened as cable and other non license so to speak,
I mean the FCC they have to be licensed to
broadcast in the public interest, and how is that in
the public interest? And that's why it is such a
big and hard fall for somebody like CBS.

Speaker 31 (01:06:19):
Yeah, it's a real problem. And you know, you look
at the decline in media trust. In nineteen eighty, seventy
five percent of Americans said that they trusted the establishment media.
That number is now down to thirty one percent. I
mean that that is a huge fall. And another study
by Rasmuss and Reports now shows that only twenty eight

(01:06:39):
percent of Americans think the media even try to be
fair in their political reporting. So, I mean, you know,
when you get down to twenty eight percent of Americans
we even think the media even tries to be fair
in reporting, you know, that's a really bad number. And
you know, you go back to the you know, the
nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties, when the Gallup studies showed
that media confidence with seventy five percent. You know, you had,

(01:07:03):
you know, prominent journalists like Walter Cronkite and Chet Huntley
and Frank Reynolds anchoring news broadcasts and people had confidence
in them. And by the way, keep in mind, in
the seventies we had a very polarized time as well,
coming out of the Vietnam era and whatnot. So when
people say, oh, the world is just polarized now, so
nobody trusts the media. Well, the world was polarized in
the seventies as well, and people still trusted the media

(01:07:26):
because the media tried to be professional and tried to
adhere to a standard of fairness. And that is out
the window because they're totally into activism now and the
people who run the media are not at all like
the people that they're trying to broadcast.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
Too well, And I have to wonder, you know what
the push point is here as far as the advertisers
go to if you were if only thirty one percent
of the people trust you, at what point do you
lose the advertising that allows you to continue to broadcast.
Jeff got to leave it at that for today, but
thank you so much. Jeff McCall beni a stuce professor

It's now six thirty five. Well, two thirds of Americans
do not trust the old media establishment legacy media mainstream
as we call them. Gallipol though, shows that fifty four
percent of Democrats do.

Speaker 31 (01:13:13):
Trust the old professional standard of fairness and objectivity and
journalism has really gone out the window, and we now
have a professional media establishment that is engaged in activism.

Speaker 5 (01:13:26):
Professor Jeff McCall with DePaul University told KGRH, a lot
of Americas are just ignoring the news altogether, and that
means we're uninformed about important issues. Six thirty five is
our time. Premiums, they're a disaster for senior citizens. And
the Inflation Reduction Act is the reason why.

Speaker 11 (01:13:48):
The Biden Harris White House is facing criticism over allegedly
taking money from the Medicare Trust Fund and putting it
towards a demo project trying to bring down premiums.

Speaker 32 (01:13:56):
Premiums this year twenty twenty four went up. By twenty
next year, they're going up by twenty three percent.

Speaker 11 (01:14:04):
Republican strategists and CEO of Horizon Government Affairs Joel White
says this all stems from the disastrous Inflation Reduction Act.

you got to vote for her. New ad put up
by the Harris campaign evidently is offending black men all
across the country. It is a campaign ad depicting women
turning them down for dates because of their voting record.

(01:16:43):
It's like a dating game style video. The women in
the video are holding balloons that they pop once they
eliminate somebody from contention for a date, and they're asking
questions of this guy in the video of black man
walk of the studio before several women introduces himself and
they start asking questions. First question, what do you do

(01:17:06):
and how much do you make? He replies, that's always
a nice question. Now that's a nice icebreaker. He replies,
I work in finance and I make six figures. Oh,
the ladies are interested. One of the women in line
ask him how tall he is, which he says six

(01:17:27):
foot five. Yeah. They like that again, and then they
go on to other questions. They finally get to you know,
who did you vote? Who are you voting for in
the presidential election, and he kind of hymns and halls
and intimates that he might be a Trump guy, in

(01:17:49):
which case they all pop their balloons. I'm sorry, I
can't vote for you based on who you would vote
for for president of the United States of America. The

you better watch your next step. Yeah, exactly, he's on.

Six fifty two. Our time here in Houston's for news
all right? That the Al Smith dinner which the President
bothered to show up for. President Trump bothered to show
up for. He told some jokes. Sometimes he kind of
me entered into, you know, a little bit of meanness.
But hey, I thought I can understand. I'm surprised you
could even joke about some of the things that have
happened to him. Evidently, though progressives don't share his sense

(01:23:39):
of humor. Here they are reacting to what he said
at the Al Smith dinner, and then some reaction to
their reaction from Greg Guttfeld.

Speaker 39 (01:23:45):
Yes, his appearance at the alfredy Smith dinner was ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
It was offensive, and it was way off to maw.

Speaker 5 (01:23:52):
I thought that Donald Trump misread the room.

Speaker 21 (01:23:56):
I thought that he was undisciplined and mostly unfunnyed just
missed the market.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
It was cringe worthy and it was unnecessarily.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
Nasty, was nasty in his comments and frankly not very funny.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
So is this Catholic church event normalizing a guy who's
already broken eleven of the ten commandments.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
And got darker and darker where even some of his supporters,
I'm not sure found it all quite that funny.

Speaker 50 (01:24:24):
I think it's just hilarious how they all sound exactly
the same, the critics, It's incredible. It's like you'd think
they get the talking points from one person. I mean,
true to a Catholic event. Donald Trump gave Harris last rights.
My favorite part though, is.

So clearly Schumer doesn't really believe Trump is a Nazi,
or he wouldn't be there laughing.

Speaker 2 (01:25:07):
And talking to him. So think about it.

Speaker 50 (01:25:10):
All this Trump rhetoric is just a political show, and
their willingness to foment division across a country. To get
Pete to demonize Trump's supporters because you're supporting a Nazi
is all based on a lie, and it tells you
the division is never ever left versus right. The division
is supposed to be left versus right, when it's really

(01:25:32):
the elitist against everyone else.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
They want you to believe it's left versus right, but
it really isn't.

Speaker 50 (01:25:37):
I love the Kamala video because she says it's so
important to come together and reach across the divide at

The claims that they're claiming for record heat in the
oceans are a temperature change of three and a half
thousands of one degree. They're not even measurable in real

card with a whole new set of numbers, a whole
different card than the one you put in the first time.
So now instead of having one credit card number, they've
got two. It's really quite smart. So the key here,

(01:36:15):
I guess is if you get that message and you
know good and well that there's nothing wrong with the card,
and most of us keep up with our balances and
all that, and you know whether not your card is
good or not, don't fall prey to the idea that
you should put in a different card and make note

(01:36:35):
of the fact that that site did decline your first card,
which you know to be perfectly good, in which case
you may want to call your credit card company and
make sure that nothing comes through from that company on
that card. Yeah, unfortunately, that's part of the deal. The
crooks are just as busy during holiday season, pact. It's
their busiest time of the year compared to any other time.

Speaker 5 (01:37:08):
Thanks for the tip there. This is eastbound at Ella.

Speaker 4 (01:37:11):
We had a wreck that wasn't there very long, but
it was just there long enough to scooch everything up
from two ninety trying to get around toward the Farmers Market.

Speaker 5 (01:37:18):
An extra eleven minutes going that way, if you can.

Speaker 4 (01:37:20):
Let's take I ten instead of the Katie Freeway over
to the baytown Side or Terry. Since your hazardous, you
have to get on the south Loop sixth. By the way,
it's nice to get those extra lanes there too. At
two eighty eight. They did some roadwork that was on
a while, but this is good. We've got three big
lanes going eastbound now westbound. We've still got the spackle
with that roadwork. At Scott Street.

Speaker 10 (01:37:42):

Speaker 5 (01:38:35):
Right, we're on our way. It is a warm day,
but nothing out of the norm for October.

Speaker 17 (01:38:41):
Not too crazy, but the thing is this high pressure
that's keeping a stride is hanging around all week long,
and so not only a little more heat, but also
eventually we'll get a little more humidity creep back.

Speaker 5 (01:38:51):
It's quite pleasant right now, though.

Speaker 17 (01:38:53):
We'll wind up in the lowd mid eighties today and
overnight for the most part, temperatures in the fifties. So
it really is afterable night southerly breezo tomorrow and temperatures
will be in the mid tof forer eighties, and that's
where we'll be the rest of the week.

Speaker 5 (01:39:06):
Not a drop of rain in sight through Saturday.

of rain next week because I don't want that to disappear.

How did all of this happen?

Speaker 46 (01:42:19):
The chaos of open borders, communities filled with violent gainings,
drug dealers and criminals, inflation in groceries, gasoline even a
night out with a family, and devisive politics with boys
in girls' locker rooms, boys and girls' sports, and schools
keeping parents in the dark. Now for our left, democrats
including Colin Alright, are demanding taxpayers pay for sex change

(01:42:42):
operations for soldiers and taxpayer funds to sterilize miners.

Speaker 47 (01:42:46):
How did all of this happen in Texas? It happened
because of radical liberal democrats like Colin Allred. Alred claims
to be a moderate, but he's a darling of radical
liberal Democrats because Colin Allred is a radical liberal Democrat.
How do we keep Texas Texas simple? Support border security,

US Radio seven KTRH seven twenty two is their time here,
Houston Mornings. The polls are open. You can get out
there and early vote today if you want. It'll be
interesting to see what kind of a crowd he is attracted.
On the first day of early voting here in Texas,
Cindy Siegal joins US Harris County GOP chair. I know
it's early, Sidney, but I'm wondering if you've heard any
reports about what's looking like at the early voting polls

(01:49:22):
this morning. Are we seeing a pretty good crowd?

Speaker 25 (01:49:25):
Yes, we actually are. My own husbands went to and
he said there was a line of fifty people outside.
And we've heard from a couple vote badges around the
county that said they had people in all of our
other gym for the polls to open, So good sign.
We've been telling line waitings. Although a lot of Republicans

(01:49:48):
went away to election. Republicans for encouraging everyone, like President Trump,
get out and vote early day.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
We're still there and she's gone. That didn't last long.
He's okay, you're cutting out there Sunday, So that's okay.
We'll try this again.

Speaker 25 (01:50:12):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
Now, I can hear you. You're you're still clipping just
a little bit. But go ahead and give your best
shot here. I mean, if you want to pick up
where you left off, that'd be great.

Speaker 20 (01:50:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:50:22):
So we're encouraging Republicans to get out and vote. Really,
don't wait till election day. You don't know what if
there's bad weather, et cetera. It helps our candidates so
they don't waste the text or trying to chase your
ballot if you're going to vote anyway, so a phone
called early and get it out of the way. We

(01:50:43):
want to swamp the polls as President Trump's vote the votes.

Speaker 5 (01:50:47):
Okay, why are there not enough Republicans entering judicial races?
Why did Republicans? Why did we not field candidates?

Speaker 25 (01:50:57):
Well, you know, we were advertising for it, and I think,
well is that people? And I think you know, it's
one thing share when you're the problem of office. I mean,
I'm a CPA. I could run for office, and you
run for I lose. There's not someone who's going to
hold it against me. What's the problems if I.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
Hope she could not?

Speaker 25 (01:51:20):
Again, sorry, when challenge for attorneys that are litigating, it's
the challenge. These Democrat judges are very punitive and it's
like efforts is Dimon says he knows if he doesn't
win that it's going to hurt his practice. So either
Danzier's hesitancy, I'm unpracticing attorneys that are litigators think that

(01:51:42):
they know that the Democrat judges are going to take
it out on them.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
Let me let me ask you about that. It is
the justice system in Harris County so skewed to the
left that they actually will hold it against an attorney
who ran for that position, who has managed to go
ahead and say they are a Republican. Yes, seriously, wow, Yes,
and I.

Speaker 25 (01:52:08):
Backed you know, some of our election challenging for the
attorneys that were representing them for the November twenty two
you know, these judges were posting stuff about, well that
that attorney election show up in my court, you know
stands standard for better not when he was the county

(01:52:31):
clerk for eight years when he lost sample, he went
and he was working in another area of the county
and when the hub he basically was told they no
longer had a job took. So yeah, they're very punitive.

Speaker 5 (01:52:48):
And that's you know, I get it.

Speaker 25 (01:52:52):
I mean, you know, your livelihood that upon it. And
you know, my example is if I run for offices,
it's depending on you know, I'm not going to lose
my clients.

Speaker 6 (01:53:02):
If I lose.

Speaker 2 (01:53:03):
So subtle a subtle but very effective form of electioneering
when you get right down to it, all right, Yeah,
we have to leave it to that. Since Cindy, we'll
let you in the back connection go, but thank you
for joining us. We appreciate it. Cindy Seagal, Harris County,

want to hear whether certain aspects of state law were
actually ignored in Roberson's case. He would be the first

(01:56:17):
ever execution for shaken baby syndrome and the death of
his child in two thousand and two. Four people, including
a child, are dead after a private helicopter crashed into

A new poll from Atlas Intel shows Trump leading Harris
nationally fifty one to forty eight percent in five I
just say this nationally is wrong, leading Harris fifty one
to forty eight percent in five swing states. A group
of Democrats in Congress sent a letter to the largest
US companies asking them to hold on to their diversity

(01:57:43):
equity inclusion programs.

Speaker 2 (01:57:46):
Sure basically, they don't want the EI to die.

Speaker 22 (01:57:50):
Absolutely ridiculous. It is once again proving that the Congressional
Democrats do not understand what the oaths they took to
the American people or their job actually is.

Speaker 13 (01:58:00):
That's political commentator Raven Harrison, who says the Dems like
to make up the rules except for themselves.

Speaker 29 (01:58:48):
This is the time to reach them and the Democrats
the far left. They're doing an excellent job of infiltrating
our universities and doing exactly what they're doing with their
young people, because that going to change our country for
a generation.

He says, parents better think hard before spending all that
money on colleges just to have their kids indoctrinated. Certainly
worked in journalism shouldn't come as any surprise. According to
a new Gallup Pole, overall American trust in the mainstream media,
you know, the gold standard, it has dropped precipitously.

Speaker 30 (01:59:23):
That's probably because they aren't even trying to hide their
left wing bias anymore.

Speaker 31 (01:59:27):
It's not particularly surprising. We still see evidence of it
all the time right now. I mean, you have CBS
editing a sixty minutes interview to make Kamala Harris look better.

Speaker 30 (01:59:36):
Jeff McCall with Dapai University told KTRH this is leading
to many people just tuning out completely.

Speaker 31 (01:59:41):
Which I guess is fine that if the news is
going to be biased. But on the other hand, then
we have a lot of Americans who really don't even
want to become informed about the issues of the day.

Speaker 30 (01:59:50):
Unsurprisingly, Gallup reports that fifty four percent of Democrats still
have a great deal of trust in the media. Ethan
Beginning News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (02:00:00):
Now Well, healthcare premiums you know, overall up over twenty
percent this year, and the Biden Harris regime accused of
trying to disguise it. They're sivening money from the Medicare
trust at least temporarily.

Speaker 32 (02:00:16):
The Biden Harris administration saw this trend in premiums up
by double digits. They launched a demo which took money
out of the Medicare Trust Fund and gave it to
health insurance plans to buy down some of the premium increase.

Speaker 5 (02:00:33):
Yeah, Republican Strategies CEO of Horizon Government Affairs Joel White
He says the plan didn't work as premiums well temporarily,
maybe they got hidden, but they're going to go up
again next year after the election by about twenty three percent.
Another effect of the Biden Here's economy. More Americans underwater

(02:00:54):
in their car loans. Ivan Drury with Edmunds says they're
being forced to come to different terms.

Speaker 33 (02:01:00):
If you have a negative equity, average APR is closer
to eight percent. Multi payment eight hundred and ninety four
dollars terms closer to seventy six months. So you can
see how this dramatically changes your layout.

Speaker 5 (02:01:13):
Yeah, average amount ode on upside down lows is now
an all time high of over sixty four one hundred dollars.
Six to seven thirty seven is our time. Well, the
lead changed seven times. I guess it was a good game.
Don't like it when you lose. Houston, Texas lost to
Green Bay and Lambeau twenty four to twenty two, a
last second field goal by the Packers. They are hosting

(02:01:37):
the Colts next Sunday. I'm surebre Fryar on News Radio
seven forty KTRH.

Digging a pond, Daniel dean Land clearing in dirt work

Speaker 3 (02:01:50):
More with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar. This is Houston's
morning News.

Speaker 2 (02:01:55):
So while we were spending the weekend doing what we do,
China was busy surrounding Taiwan with one hundred and fifty
three warplanes. Just hey, we're just yeah, we're the same flyover,
just flyover. Nothing to worry about here, I earned fifty
three warplanes. Gordon Chang says, well, here's what Gordon Chang

(02:02:18):
has to say about what China's doing right now.

Speaker 57 (02:02:20):
People in Taiwan and officials say that China probably will
establish a quarantine around the Ain island of Taiwan sometime
within the next six months.

Speaker 2 (02:02:29):
Now, a quarantine is.

Speaker 57 (02:02:30):
Not an active war, but a blockade is, and China
could very well move from a quarantine to a blockade,
especially if the quarantine doesn't work, which means that we
would have a conflict in East Asia. And when you
look at the other conflicts around the world Ukraine, North Africa,
and Middle East, then this starts to look like a
global conflict. And I think the reason why this is

(02:02:52):
happening now is because Cijmping's economy is failing. We see
this from all sorts of indicators, and I believe that
in desperate dictator is going to do desperate things. So
we've got to be extremely concerned because our political system
is talking peace while Cijmping is actually when he speaks
to the Chinese people, he's talking war all the time.

(02:03:13):
And what they're doing is Sijmping is trying to push
out foreign companies because he doesn't want competitors there to
challenge his state industries. So, you know, if Biden would
get off the beach, I think what he should do
is just ban all American chip makers from doing business
in or with China because he's going to see Jimping's
going to push them out anyway. So we should just

(02:03:34):
get this over with, and we should understand that Sigimping
has declared an economic.

Speaker 2 (02:03:39):
War on us.

Speaker 57 (02:03:39):
He did that a long time ago. We need to respond,
and we need to respond with the vigor that he
has shown in attacking our company.

Speaker 2 (02:03:47):
Well, hopefully we will respond in January when there's a
new president at the White House. At least that's what
I'm hoping on. Seven forty time for traffic and weather together,

Speaker 5 (02:11:17):
You know what, I really think he has a good time.

Speaker 2 (02:11:20):
I think so too.

Speaker 5 (02:11:21):
I think I don't think you can fake that.

Speaker 2 (02:11:23):
No, I think he's genuinely interested in people. And it shows,
you know, he didn't have to sit there and make
small talk with you know, the woman who's teaching him
how to serve up the fries.

Speaker 27 (02:11:31):
He was.

Speaker 5 (02:11:32):
He didn't look too happy when his mic suddenly went
dead and a huge rally. I guess it was Friday night.
I was watching. It was Friday or Thursday. Yeah, you know,
twenty minutes, no microphone, Donald Trump up on the stage.

Speaker 2 (02:11:46):
But the brilliance of going to a McDonald's. I mean,
this is the video has been playing all weekend. People
have been reacting to it all weekend. Here's Guy Benson,
by the way, reacting to you know, Trump going to McDonald's.

Speaker 43 (02:11:57):
This is such a smart play I think by the
Trump campaign.

Speaker 58 (02:12:00):
Whether Kamala Harris worked a McDonald's or not, I would
guess she probably did.

Speaker 43 (02:12:05):
It doesn't really matter. He's decided to troll her on this.

Speaker 58 (02:12:08):
And the fact that he got to a McDonald's French
fry friar before she did and sort of in a humanizing,
humorous way, was able to have one of the greatest
presidential photo ops I can remember, just in terms of
entertainment value.

Speaker 43 (02:12:23):
We hear a lot about joy on the campaign.

Speaker 58 (02:12:25):
He seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself today watching him
like actually working the fries, filling the little sleeve, handing
the bags of food to people through the window at
the drive through. He said, I made it myself. I
laughed out loud. And it doesn't matter, like take politics
out of it. This was a home run day for them.

Speaker 2 (02:12:44):
I agree. And by the way, he also went to
a barbershop in the Bronx, sat there in the barber
share and had a conversation with everybody in the barbershop
about what their concerns were.

Speaker 5 (02:12:54):
I mean some of these podcasts he's been doing. Yeah,
I don't know who these podcasters are.

Speaker 2 (02:13:00):
Boy. What what the left can't stand and what they
can't figure out for themselves is how he relates to
people in a very human way that they can't seem
to They can't seem to connect with people the way
he does. I think that drives them insane.

Speaker 5 (02:13:14):
What do they call that retail politics? I forget what
they call that. It's not selling politics, pressing, pressing the flesh.
That used to be the way you do shaking hands babies.
Now media has just made it, you know, digital has
made it so possible to do everything remotely, and people
are used to.

Speaker 2 (02:13:30):
It doing it. He's doing an old school which is
new school again because it hasn't been done their way
in so long. Hey, listen, y'all have a great day
or early voting stars say, if you want to get
out there and cast your ballot, we'll see tomorrow morning
