Speaker 6 (01:44):
Everyone is now five o two on news radio seven
forty KTRH. Our top story this hour, it's the honor.

Speaker 7 (01:52):
Of my life to accept your nomination for Vice President
of the United States.

Speaker 6 (01:58):
Minnesota's Tim at the DNC last night, promoting gun control
for the most part, claiming he was proud also to
serve our country despite his proven actions of stolen valor,
and he took shots at the combat marine veteran Republican
VP candidate JD.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Vance.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
I had twenty four kids in my high school class.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
And none of them went to Yale.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Oh Gee Vance reacting immediately with facts, not insults.

Speaker 8 (02:30):
I kept ont of wanting him to say, this is
what she's already done. When you're defending the sitting Vice
president of the United States. Day one of her administration
is not six months from now. Day one of her
administration was thirteen hundred days ago.

Speaker 9 (02:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
Jd Vance on Fox. Thousands continuing to protest on the streets.
Dozens arrested so far. We saw a different kind of
demonstration last night too.

Speaker 10 (02:56):
This is a group of uncommitted delegates. They heard the
families of hostages being held in Gaza speak at the convention,
and they got upset because they said they're warn't enough
Palestinian voices being heard from the convention floor. They were
joined for a time by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Speaker 11 (03:12):
Okay Fox is Mike Tobin.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
There.

Speaker 11 (03:14):
Five h three is our time.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Kamala Harrison will address the convention and the country tonight.
Her economic plan reportedly will incentivize and subsidize fatherless homes.

Speaker 12 (03:27):
It'll cost billions and billions of dollars.

Speaker 13 (03:30):
But the real cost is when you subsidize fatherless homes,
and it is very I'm sure of the kids and
the mom and to the father's shop and outbid by
the welfare state.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
I'll bid Grover Norquest with Americas for tax reform. He says,
Democrats are proving yet again that they are anti family.
Oprah Winfrey, one of last night's speakers in Chicago. New
Harvard study finds celebrities can and do impact elections, and boy,
the Democrats are all in on that.

Speaker 14 (04:01):
Unfortunately, that doesn't make for a very informed voter base.

Speaker 15 (04:05):
They're promoting policies and candidates that have no basis in logic, history,
or fact, based purely on emotion and their personal perspective.

Speaker 14 (04:14):
Political analyst led to Vidia told KTRH that celebrity endorsements
don't flip huge numbers of voters, but they make a difference.

Speaker 15 (04:21):
It's a very small sliver of the electorate, but when
the elections are so tight, every little bit of those
margins can help.

Speaker 14 (04:28):
D Vidic says Democrats are likely using their celebrity spokesman
as smoke and mirrors to hide their bad policies. Ethan Buchanan,
News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 11 (04:37):
It's five oh four now.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
Donald Trump rallying outdoors yesterday and he spoke in North Carolina.
Thousands took part wait in line for hours two to
get there.

Speaker 16 (04:52):
I always say, sure, please, fic to policy, don't get personal,
and yet they get any personal all night long, these
people do.

Speaker 17 (05:00):
I still have to stick to policy, alazy.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Trump stopped his talk at one point. He walked away
from the protective glass now there to protect him, and
he checked on someone in the crowd who'd passed out
in the summer heat, and he thanked medics and actually
hugged his supporter. It was just stunning. I've never seen
anything like it. Well, yeah, Robert F. Kennedy Junior reportedly
dropping out of the race tomorrow and will endorse Trump.

(05:26):
Katie Rahius Clay Travis says Democrats who fought to keep
Kennedy off the ballot they're going to be doing a
oneint eighty.

Speaker 18 (05:32):
Now Democrats would suddenly be arguing that his name shouldn't
be able to be pulled off the ballot in any
battleground state because they want people to still vote for
him instead of Trump.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
Kennedy making his announcement tomorrow in Phoenix. Trump, by the way,
will be just up the road in Glendale rallying at
that same time. Not just the White House at stake, though,
the Democrats believe that they're going to be hanging on
to power in the Senate.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Machia.

Speaker 19 (06:04):
Rick Manning with Americans for Limited Government says the Dems
will have to pitch a perfect game to stop the GOP.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
Quite honestly, I haven't seen that happen very often in
my life.

Speaker 19 (06:14):
And something else the Dems think might happen. They're calling
Texas a toss up.

Speaker 9 (06:20):
It has been really just wishful thinking. But it is
part of their national plans, so they're going to promote
it every single election.

Speaker 19 (06:26):
Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty kt.

Speaker 11 (06:30):
H five Go six.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
Now, Well, the Biden Harris regime has lied repeatedly about
the federal jobs numbers. That's what we learned yesterday. They
had to revise downward for the year ending March twenty
twenty four by eight hundred and eighteen thousand jobs that
weren't actually added to their economy.

Speaker 20 (06:50):
It's a massive screw up on behalf of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. So leave it to the government, to.

Speaker 11 (06:57):
Big government Fox Business is Dagan McDowell.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
There.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Over the last two years, the revisions have resulted actually
in one point one million jobs that never were Now
that's failing economy, real wage growth failing too, while we
could try to keep our own bank accounts balance. Houston's
ranking fifth in the country for the highest average overdraft
fees it just under thirty dollars.

Speaker 21 (07:21):
Overdraft fees have been coming down for the past couple
of years, but they still pack upon, especially in the
Houston area.

Speaker 15 (07:27):
The average still north of twenty nine dollars.

Speaker 21 (07:29):
So really important to take the steps necessary to avoid
those overdrafts in the first place.

Speaker 11 (07:34):
Thank greats. Greg McBride says.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
Houston also in the top ten for at M fees
and the Texas Lottery Convention under heat allowing middleman websites
to sell lottery tickets to minors.

Speaker 12 (07:47):
It opens up the possibility that children are able to
purchase lottery tickets, or miners people who otherwise aren't eligible
to play the lottery.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
Texas Gore card Brandon Walton's theory says it's all also
not legal for Lotto tickets to be bought with credit cards.

Speaker 11 (08:03):
Astros lost to Boston four to one.

Speaker 6 (08:06):

the Al West.

Speaker 11 (08:19):
And the Burning Little Leaguers.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
They've beat Noveda made my blood pressure go up. I
got so tense at a point. Five to two was
the final and they've now clinched that spot in the
US Championship game.

Speaker 11 (08:31):
On Saturday.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'm Sheber Fryar on News Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
More with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar. This is Houston's
morning News. You know, as mortal words of our former baser.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
I was sitting there and you know, I'd been outside
working and in the heat. I took my blood pressure.
My blood pressure was down while I'm outside working. Then
I come in. I start watching the Little Leaguers and
it was tied and the blood pressure was going up,
and I thought, you know what, for hour, you need
to get up and mop the floors.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Or do something. Your heart's on your sleeve. I think
that's what I think. That's that's what that says. You're
you're emotionally you were emotionally involved in that game. Everything
all right? Well, also getting emotional guests. A US Commerce secretary.
Do you know who she is?

Speaker 5 (09:16):
Gina Raymondo, Well, she doesn't know her job.

Speaker 11 (09:19):
It was news to her. She had to be told
by reporters that they've been lying all this time.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
She's on ABC and she gets I share the audio
with him, but unfortunately there's not a clean version available,
so I'll have to paraphrase. But she got asked by ABC,
what do you make of the jobs?

Speaker 5 (09:36):
They played?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
First of all, they played a club of Trump at
Israeli talking about the eight hundred and eighteen thousand jobs
that were lost, and then they asked her to react
to it, and she said, everything that comes out of
Donald Trump's mouth is a lie. I am not familiar
with this, so she claimed that she didn't know. First, first,

(09:57):
the loss of eight hundred and eighteen thousand.

Speaker 11 (09:59):
Jobs, yes, yesterday morning.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes, yes, exactly, she told everybody. So, so first she
claims that Trump is telling a lie about about the
jobs numbers. And then she claims that she doesn't know
anything about the jobs numbers, and you're the Commerce secretary.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Not a good look.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Five gen time for traffic and weather together. What's going

Speaker 25 (14:56):
Stay alert and be prepared.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
On NewsRadio Z and forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
By twenty two now here on Houston's Morning News, So
news was coming down. Everybody talking about yesterday. Rf K
Junior says he's going to endorse Donald Trump. Well he
didn't say it. His vice presidential running mate kind of
intimated that that's what was going to happen. Here's how
the report came down on MBIs News.

Speaker 26 (15:20):
Both of them that are going to be in Arizona.
The RFK campaign announcing that he is changing up his plans.
Initially was going to be in Georgia, but that mister
Kennedy is now going to be holding an event somewhere
in the Greater Phoenix area. Of course, on Friday afternoon,
Donald Trump is holding what is going to be a
mega rally in the West Valley of Glendale, Arizona.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
And let's be very clear here.

Speaker 26 (15:41):
Nicole Shanahan, who for several months now has been running
as the vice presidential running mate to Robert F.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Kennedy, yesterday on a.

Speaker 26 (15:48):
Podcast, openly suggested that they believe that they were taking
more votes away from Donald Trump's campaign when they were
looking at some of their internal numbers. And I went
go back to a conversation that I had with RFK
earlier this year, and I explicitly asked him who did
you vote for in twenty twenty. Of course, the Kennedy
is a longtime Democratic family, and he told me that

(16:10):
he voted in twenty twenty for Joe Biden. But over
the course of the last year, since launching this independent
bed for president, really it was the right, the political right,
that was welcoming him more into their fold. He was
going on programs like Joe Rogan and right wing podcasts,
and you know, going around to some of his events

(16:31):
and talking with voters. It was folks that maybe were
not so into another Donald Trump presidency who were increasingly
telling me that they were looking at their intention.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Towards Robert F. Kennedy.

Speaker 26 (16:41):
Now, his campaign has gone through some stumbles. He had
been at one point, you know, fifteen percent some in
national polls. But over the course of what was a
rather rough summer for his candidacy, we saw his polling
numbers drop, and now along with our Dashah Burns were
reporting that we anticipate that he intends to drop out
of this presidential raised on Friday and back Donald Trump.
It is not clear at this time whether or not

(17:02):
he will campaign on the road in Arizona with Donald
Trump here. But of course, when we're talking about twenty
sixteen election, in twenty twenty election that came down to
thousands of votes, Howley, five percent in some of these
battleground states are significant margins, and so for the Trump
campaign this would be a big pick up opportunity if

(17:23):
in fact mister Kennedy does in fact endorse.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Although I will say Trump does lead in all the
battleground states right down corner Leispoling.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
Well, it's not just that though it's the Democrats who
kept his name, Kennedy's name off the ballot in New
York exactly. He's been fighting in Pennsylvania. The Democrats keeping
is so you know, the guy didn't the reporting to
say anything about the Democrats and what they've done in
order to bring down those polling numbers.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
I guess, art, I don't believe it.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
It's just that he will only hurt you know, Trump
if he gets But I think that there are some
never Trumpers who might be inclined to say, hmm, I
can't vote for Kamala right exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Well, we'll see, but I guess he's probably persona and
I'm Gruna and Highenda support right.

Speaker 11 (18:09):
The Kennedy family is just about him pretty much.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Just well, now they're going to do more than that.
They'll just own him, all right.

Speaker 9 (18:14):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Here's they caught up with President Trump yesterday to ask
him about this possible endorsement. Here's how that conversation went.

Speaker 25 (18:19):
Can I ask you about.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
RK because just a whole months ago his running mates
that they're considering endorsing you.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Have you considered him for a role in the administration
and what role would.

Speaker 21 (18:28):
That be Well, we haven't, but I would love that
endorsement because I've always liked him.

Speaker 25 (18:32):
Were altments that are putting him in the ahauntration.

Speaker 16 (18:36):
You're asking me a very unusual question.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
I haven't really step question yet.

Speaker 24 (18:40):
I like him a lot, I respect him a lot.

Speaker 25 (18:43):
I probably would if something like that would happen.

Speaker 24 (18:46):
He's a very different kind of our guys versus what guy,
And yeah, I would be honored.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
By that endorsement.

Speaker 27 (18:53):
Certainly.

Speaker 17 (18:53):
We got a great endorsement from Kila Musk.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Which I've read a lot.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Okay, so even really say anything, Not that I expected
him too. You know, he said what he usually says
when somebody's getting ready to say something nice about.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Him, you know, and the thrust to get the people
who can't make up their mind by now right, you
don't want to lose the supporters you have, and the
supporters there were strong Trump supporters. Don't really see Kennedy
as having anything politically to do with what the right believes.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
True enough, although he's a leftist. Yeah, you could make
him an ambassador.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
Well, no, I think what you ought to do is
make him a special counsel to investigate attempted assassinations. And
the assassination.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Assassination attempt on Trump, and they also go all the
way back to his uncle John F.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
Kennedy. Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 11 (19:44):
And then then there's Robert two he iss.

Speaker 3 (19:47):

look at your money. Denise Spellagreen's here.

a gun in her diaper bag, put it on the couch.
Her three kids are there. Evidently the gun was sitting
on the couch for in excess of twelve minutes when

year old boy picked up the gun and shot his
four year old sister with it.

She's not eligible for parole for twenty five years, so
she will be forty nine to fifty years old by

(30:09):
the time she's actually eligible for parole. And the thing
that I guess has her more upset than anything else
is her attorney talked her out of taking a ten
year plea deal. He offered her a ten year plea deal.

he could get her off. And now she's going to

they did their party, they chopped everything up, they put
it out the curb, you know, waiting for somebody to
come by and pick it up, and they're getting the
run around. Here's the report from KPRC two's Devin Clark.

Speaker 37 (35:35):
It has been seven weeks after Hurricane Beryl.

Speaker 40 (35:37):
Linda and Rusty Reichley went from looking at a lush
and lively oak tree that shaded their property to seeing
its dead trunk and limbs piled in front of their home.

Speaker 37 (35:46):
July eighth, I called three one one because I knew, so,
you know, we got it taken care of it, got
it all piled.

Speaker 14 (35:52):
Out here, solid waistcrews never came, and probably after about
three weeks.

Speaker 37 (35:58):
It was the first time I called three on one
back and they were like, we've got your number. You
know they're going to take care of it, so let
it go.

Speaker 40 (36:06):
But if there's still no action, they said, they decided
to contact their councilman, Mario Castillo's office.

Speaker 11 (36:12):
No resolved.

Speaker 40 (36:13):
They say they also tried the Mayor's office. Still nothing.
Their frustration has reached its peak.

Speaker 37 (36:19):
I saw all the workers on another block yesterday. I thought, great,
it weren't they're cleaning us up because there's another block
the same situation. They picked all of them up today
and we both asked them about coming to our house
and they said no, we don't.

Instead, they're forced into a busy and narrow street. The
good news is after we contacted the mayor's office. We
also spoke to the city Solid Waste Apartment, where representative
said she is very sorry for the inconvenience and also
promised to quickly resolve the issue.

Speaker 37 (37:25):
It is sad that that's what it takes.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Well, we'll see how quickly it gets resolved, because you know,
if you're in the customer service game, that's what they
always tell you.

Right.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Oh, we're so sorry for your inconvenience. We'll take care
of that for you. Crickets crickets if you would like
to feel a little bit better, though, the Woodlands still
has some debris on Gosling Road that's been sitting there
since the day after the storm, so you're not alone.

(37:55):
Even in places where you would expect not to see debris,
there's still some debris out there.

Speaker 11 (38:00):
That's that's a problem with government.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
You're you're paying your government ended toy, your governing body
in order to get this picked up, and they're not
doing it.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
How about I pay less to the government and I
take care of getting it picked up myself. I'll hire somebody.
How's that Maybe we should go that route next time
you have to pay.

A result of Harris hype, Democrats now thinking what they're
telling us, they can not only keep the White House
and Senate but also turn Texas blue.

Speaker 9 (44:23):
We damn well better hope they don't win Texas. I
don't think they will, but they have made no bones
that they are fighting for the soul of America on
this and Texas falls, There's no place in America that
will be saved from that transformation.

The annual revisions from March of last year to this

(44:57):
past March eight hundred eighteen thousand jobs they did not create.
They had to revise it downward. Economists EJ. And Tony
with the Heritage Foundation says, and it's actually even worse
than that.

Speaker 15 (45:10):
This downward revision is on top of last year's downward revision.
So it's not as if this is simply a one off.
This is a pattern, and the pattern is getting worse.

Speaker 6 (45:20):
And Tony says, it's just unbelievable the amount of lyne
that was involved in this. A new study finds that
Houston is ninth in the nation for ATM fees at
just under five bucks for transactions on average.

Speaker 21 (45:36):
We may be using less cash than ever before, but
if you make an out of networks ATM withdrawal, you
expect to pay and pay more than you ever have before.
And this is typically one that involves not just one fee,
but two bank rates.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Wait until Heaven forbid. There's a Kamala Harris as person
of the United States. She wants to raise taxes by
about five trillion. That's what the t five trillion dollars.
One of the things she wants to do is to
tax you on unrealized capital gains. No worries if you've
made money on a stock or a piece of property

(47:35):
or whatever it is and you haven't sold it yet,
she still wants to tax you on what that thing
is currently worth in any particular year. So so you
would pay taxes on something you still owns versus only
paying that tax, which I don't particularly care for under
any circumstances when you sell something. Here's Grover Norquist to

(47:58):
explain a little bit more about some of the things
that she wants to do.

Speaker 43 (48:01):
It certainly would, and these are positions that she has
publicly stated. She has endorsed all of the tax increases
that Biden threatened to do next year, and she has
added some of her own. So it is an amazing
title wave of tax increases and wage in price controls,

(48:23):
going back to Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter and the
lines where people waited.

Speaker 11 (48:28):
To get gasoline.

Speaker 43 (48:29):
I mean, we have lived through this world and it's
not a pleasant world that Kamala Harris is thinking of
dragging us back to.

Speaker 5 (48:37):
If you'd like.

Speaker 43 (48:38):
At the capitol gains tax she wants higher than China's
China is at about twenty She wants up forty four percent,
and you have to add to that state capital gains
taxes as well many states that will push you up
over half. Why would an investor invest in the United
States with that level of capital gains when China is

(49:00):
less than half as much? It will drive capital from
around the world out of the United States into creating
jobs other places. If you're a small businessman and you
and your spouse work for thirty forty years to build
up a business and then you sell it, the government
would come in and a many state house of this
higher capital against tax, half of what you've created would

(49:23):
be taken away from you, after you'd spend forty years
paying income taxes and corporate income taxes, and property taxes
and sales taxes and fight a taxes.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Yeah, the only thing to get away from all those
taxes is death, and you might prefer that. Six ten
Time for traffick and weather together. Just check out that
drive once again. Here's guy mine all right, two to ninety.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Originally that was listed as a stall outbound. I was
a little skeptical. Steve from Burton told me it is
in fact a truck wreck and this is outbound. Call
it Barker Cyprus Mike for Magnolia, my mm outbound right before?

Speaker 44 (49:56):
Tell me it looked like multiple lanes blocked with a
good wreck.

Speaker 45 (50:00):
Lots of light.

Speaker 5 (50:02):
All right, there we go.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
I see that they've changed that also on the official
screen from stall to pretty good wreck. Let's look out
outbound from Highway six JC from Huffmans on the tip
line seven one three two one two T I P.

Speaker 39 (50:14):
S got Miok, you down before you get ten.

Speaker 31 (50:18):
Get the car hooked up over in the fast lane.

Speaker 45 (50:21):
Start to stack up back.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
Yeah it's that.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
Uh it's a I sixty nine east text right before
you hit the elevator. I see those brake lights at
equipment slash Liberty Golf Freeway. Got a reported wreck right
around Scott Street on the inbound.

Speaker 5 (50:35):
Give me about six twenty. I'll get you some lane.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
It's tollbridge suckond six minutes this way and the roadwork
Highway ninety.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
Here we go again, just past Bohemian Hall Road.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
It's fun to say, Terry, I'm in the classic elite
GMC traffic.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Center from our katrh top tax defenders twenty four hour
whether Center, Terry is here. Little cooler temperatures are on
the way, not by much, but will it be even noticeable?

Speaker 11 (50:59):
I guess well we have to start somewhere.

Speaker 22 (51:01):
Yeah we do, and not only slightly cooler temperatures.

Speaker 11 (51:08):
The improved heat and.

Speaker 22 (51:09):
Disease, let's say, instead of the excessive heat warning we've
had the last two days. Now it's a heat advisory
because the heat and disease should not go over one twelve.
There'll be less than one twelve, whereas yesterday we were
talking heat and disease around one fifteen. Actual temperatures today
for most of US upper nineties to around one oh one,
so there's some improvement. There's a twenty percent chance of

(51:32):
rain today, twenty percent chance of an afternoon thunderstorm tomorrow
and Saturday, mid upper nineties tomorrow and Saturday, and then
even more rain, thirty percent chance of thunderstorm Sunday, fifty
percent chance of rain on Monday. And the temperatures will
range anywhere from the low to upper nineties. So we

(51:52):
are seeing a little bit of an ease up in
that extremely hot weather.

You're starting your day right with Houston's Morning News, brought
to you Biden New South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
So Tim Walls was officially nominated as the vice presidential
candidate for the Democrats last night. His speech kind of
sounded a little bit like a like a football coach.
He's was more of a pep talk. I think that
it was an actual speech, certainly no substance in there,
although he did spend a lot of time putting down
Donald Trump and his opponent, his direct opponent in the race.

Speaker 11 (52:30):
And saying that we just can't have guns.

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Uh huh for the children. Yep.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
He even made fun of Jadvance going to Yale or
on that story. We'll talk all about that. We'll visit
with Abraham George Texas, Geopachair talk about it next. First, though,
traffic and weather together started with you, sky Mike.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
Well, the rest of the media and the official sources
now know that that deal that everybody was calling a
stall at first, outbound at Telgy two ninety as in
fact a truck correct. Thanks to KGRH listener, you were
the first to tell me, so we were the first
to know. Tip line seven one three two one two
tips and this is it's looking pretty serious outbound two

(53:08):
ninety TELGI three call it three left lines.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
Now it's a truck crack.

From our KTRH Top Tax Defenders twenty four hour weather center.
For today, we're looking at sunshine. For the most part,
there's a slight chance of an afternoon shower or storm
with a high temperature right about one hundred. Similar forecast
here for the next few days, although we'll cool off
into the mid to the upper nineties. Temperature right now
is eighty three at your official severe weather station. News

Donald Trump campaigning in Arizona today the fourth Battleground stated
he's visited this week. Not in my backyard. There's saying
some sugar Land residents aren't happy with a proposed construction
of a natural gas power plant on the side of

(54:02):
the former Texas prison there in sugar Land. It would
generate up to one hundred and forty eight megawatts of
electricity for the state wide grid.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
You could build one next to me, I'd be happy
with that.

Speaker 11 (54:15):
I mean, it's the old Imperial Sugar plant location and
the Texas prison farm.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Come on, let's do something good with it. Let's generate
some power for Texas.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
KTRH jdvans went to Yale and evidently that was a
problem last night for Tim Walls, along with plenty of
other things. Abraham George George's Texas geopachair. There's been a
few people who survived yell and ended up being fairly conservative, right.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. Not a lot of them,
but there's been a few. There's been a few. What
did you make of Tim Wall's speech last night?

Speaker 47 (55:21):
Well, honestly, I mean, these guys don't have anything to
talk about, right, I mean, if you look at R
and C convention and the and the DNC coment that's
happening now, I mean, I wouldn't call it a convention,
It's a coronation. Uh, And RNCB talked about border, we
talked about inflation, talked about a school choice or educational standard,
limited government, things like that, and what did they have

(55:43):
to talk about. They can't say any of that stuff.
So all they have to do is called Donald Trump
racist and Tim wall I mean Tim Malson now wants
to call our VP candidate racist and everything else. And
the only thing Tim Mall's is combat experience. I mean,
that's that's crazy. It's lighting Minnesota on fire, including the
police station, and he'd let that city burn many times

(56:08):
when it is time to do the right thing. This
guy always abandoned his responsibilities, and now he wants to
talk about a combat veteran, someone who came from average
American family, I would say even below average American family,
and came to this position at this point, served our
nation in so many ways. This is the hypocrisy of Democrats.

(56:33):
It's crazy.

Speaker 6 (56:34):
I want to ask you something a little bit off
the topic, maybe of the convention, but I want to
know about GOP efforts in order to monitor the polls
during the upcoming election. We talk a lot to Cindy
Siegel here in Harris County, but what's going on at
a statewide level, We've got the Attorney General launching some
investigations now about voting, signing people up illegal aliens, perhaps

(56:56):
to vote by nngos. I mean, how is a GOP
role into that on a statewide level.

Speaker 47 (57:03):
Well, we are working with Attorney John Ken Paxson's office
on giving more information to him. And also, I mean,
this is a statewide issue now that we have no idea, right,
I mean, thirteen million people, according to Biden White House
now is in our nation and we are we have

(57:24):
no idea who they are, where they went to. So
illegal voting is going to be a problem. This novenumber
for sure. So I think going after it today and
preemptively and looking at it, it's a great way to
do things. And this is coming from twenty twenty two elections.

(57:44):
So including we have we're getting complaints from conservative counties
now like saying, okay, there are people outside county office
that are registering illegals and things like that. It's just
amazing what's happening in our nation, in our state today.
So there's a lot of stuff that's happening from the state,

(58:06):
state party. We are doing poles and our poles. President
Trump is leading by eight to nine points. Ched Cruise
is leading by six seven points, So this is we're
still in a really good position at this point.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Yeah, but it's gonna be imperative that Ken paxton't find
out where these problems are and prosecute people or else
this will just continue to happen. Abram George, thanks for
your time, sir, appreciate it. Texas GOP chair six twenty six.

All right, I'm still up in the air on the
severity of this wreck on two to ninety outbound. We're
calling a telge involves a truck here. We're taking up
three left lanes, and I know it's enough to really
smush you up. On the outbound side from Huffmeister you'll
get some repernaking, but our Northwest friends are pretty good
at mining their own business. It Katie Freeway breaks coming

Our top story of this hour the safety of our elections.

Speaker 11 (01:01:23):
How safe are they?

Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
American citizens now can register to vote, we know, inside
DPS offices, but nonprofits apparently illegally setting up outside these
state offices, potentially signing up illegal alien voters.

Speaker 32 (01:01:40):
If you're not a citizen, then you can't get registered there.
That's the only reason there'd be a secondary location with
a nonprofit. So we're in the middle of that investigation
right now.

Speaker 6 (01:01:49):
Texas Attorney Kent General Ken Paxson on Newsmax Now his
office did execute search warrants this week in Bear County,
Frio and Atascota County in connection to this investigation. Just
over two months before the election. Electronic voting machines proven
to remain as vulnerable as ever.

Speaker 48 (01:02:10):
At this summer's annual Defcon conference in Las Vegas, the
nation's top hackers were able to easily get into top
us voting machines, just as they've been able to every year.
Political analyst Raven Harrison says, we've had four years to
fix this.

Speaker 5 (01:02:22):
This is a big problem. It needs to be addressed.

Speaker 33 (01:02:25):
It should have been addressed in the twenty twenty election,
but they chose to indict people instead of trying to
get to the heart of the problem. So now it's
something we should definitely keep.

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
The lights on.

Speaker 48 (01:02:34):
Democrats don't want to fix it, and Republicans have been
attacked and dismissed as conspiracy theorists for calling attention to it.

Office of the Inspector General reported that many audited USPS
facilities don't follow the proper procedures for election related mail.

Speaker 39 (01:02:59):

and again I would not use absinity ballots unless you absolutely.

down the transnational gangs.

yesterday boosting and celebrating Joe Biden being booted off the

We're going to walk out of here feeling pretty good.
I think we've got mcy. We are happy. We feel
like a loads off our shoulders.

Speaker 6 (01:04:16):
Yeah, because Clinton thanked Biden for his sacrifice and being
booted off the ticket. Kamala Harris will speak tonight Reuters,
citing unnamed sources trying to tell us a Harris campaign
has raised five hundred million dollars she alone since taken
over last month. Yeah, leftover Biden funds. Don't you remember

(01:04:37):
the two hundred to three hundred million he had? And
then there's lots of dark money donations that are unaccounted for.
It is now six thirty five. Huge increases in monthly
Medicare premiums being masked by the Biden administration, Millions in
taxpayer of dollars going to other sources. Robert Heinekey of
the Texas Public Policy Foundation says, well, yeah, they've been

Push down on one end, the other end goes up.
And they really pushed down hard with the Affordable Care

the consequence of that policy.

Speaker 11 (01:05:22):
Yeah.

Basically, it's robbing Medicare in order to pay Medicaid as
the charity handout.

Did you know that tea Texas Education Agency they're going
with a new state curriculum in our schools. It's being
hyped as a return to basics. Education expert Gene Burke
says she likes what she sees so far.

Speaker 38 (01:06:29):
Brings you back to the liberal arts and the history
of civilization and teaches you how to learn, whereas traditional
education teaches you what to learn.

Speaker 30 (01:06:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:06:39):
Other benefits to Burke says, this curriculum helps lower property
taxes because it re allocates money within the educational system,
offers students all across the state as well a consistent education.

All right, we're gonna have a little trial here, he
berated her. He yelled at her, and then he had
her handcuffed. He threatened to have her put into a
Wayne County prisoner's uniform because he wanted, evidently to teach

her a lesson. He is now being sued by mom
of the fifteen year old girl because evidently the the
courtroom proceedings, even though this wasn't an actual trial, are
available on local television, and she says that her child
has been humiliated. Her child also couldn't pay enough her child.
Here's my question for mom, how come your kid fell

(01:08:32):
asleep twice in the courtroom? I mean, are are you
getting her to bed at a decent hour? Are you
feeding her decent breakfast in the morning. Why why is
she so tired that she can't stay awake in the courtroom,
even after she's been told to stay awake in the
courtroom anyway. She's being represented by the Figer Law firm.

Speaker 4 (01:12:43):
I've had several people, including myself, thought that was a wreck,
judging by the fire response. But it turns out what
the deal is, it's a hydraulic fuel spill. That's why
they're taking everybody off the freeway. At least everybody's okay.
I'm Skymike. I mess up sometimes in the classic elite
GMC traffics.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
From our KTRH Generator Supercenter twenty four hour weather center.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
But Tamala Harris wants to fix it by fixing prices.
That's how she intends to fix the problem. Here's grocer
Stu Leonard. He's an East Coast independent grocer. On high
prices at the supermarket and price fixing.

Speaker 46 (01:14:34):
Were you surprised when you heard fewer jobs created last
year through this year under the Biden Harris administration. You
see big revisions downward in manufacturing, hotels, and restaurants, it
was we're seeing through July, it's likely.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
One point two million less jobs. What do you think.

Speaker 49 (01:14:52):
Well, you know, we just opened a new store down
in Clifton, New Jersey, and we hired over three hundred people.

Speaker 25 (01:14:58):
We didn't have any problem hiring.

Speaker 49 (01:14:59):
We got some really first class people, and you know
we had to pay extra. The average pay rate there
is over twenty dollars, you know, for skilled and unskilled job.
So you know, these sometimes these big government numbers are
lagging a while, and I don't really feel it on
a day to day basis. At our food stores up around.

Speaker 25 (01:15:19):
The New York area, I have met, like our.

Speaker 49 (01:15:22):
Farmers and our ranchers have been reflecting their price increases
that they've had, which has elevated food prices.

Speaker 25 (01:15:30):
Over the last two three years now.

Speaker 49 (01:15:32):
So we're seeing increases and you know, like like everybody
who has a house or a condo or an apartment,
we're seeing costs go up on fuel, on energy or gas.

Speaker 25 (01:15:44):
You know, used to be around two three bucks a gallon,
that's a little higher than that.

Speaker 8 (01:15:47):
Now.

Speaker 49 (01:15:48):
These are all money that our farmers have to put.
They got to fill their tractors every morning. Both cloud
of fields and everything. So we've seen, you know, I'm
talking to most of our suppliers.

Speaker 25 (01:16:00):
I've dealt with them their friends thirty years.

Speaker 16 (01:16:02):
Now.

Speaker 49 (01:16:03):
They're not calling me up and trying to artificially increase
their prices. They're calling me because their prices are going up.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
Yeah, and of course that has to be passed along.
That's something that's something I don't think that Kamala Harris understands.
This goes all the way back to where they you know,
the raw materials and the fuel necessary in order to
produce the raw materials and then turn it into a
product fertilizer.

Speaker 6 (01:16:32):
Let me tell you, Trump called it right. The attack
on energy underlies everything, yes, in the economy, and when
you attack the energy, which they disastrously have done, you're
going to get what you got.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Exactly right, yep. And the solution is almost as simple.
Drill baby, drill.

Speaker 11 (01:16:50):
Yeah. Their solution was, let's just print more paper money.

Speaker 5 (01:16:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:54):

At the Yale Well g Tim Walls at the DNC
last night, claiming he was proud to serve in our
country despite well his proven actions of stolen valor and
bragging about it. But he took shots at the actual
combat marine veteran Republican V Beach candidate JD.

Speaker 11 (01:20:19):
Vance who took the high road.

Speaker 8 (01:20:24):
What I heard was a guy who was trying to
defend Kamala Harrison. Importantly, he talked a lot Martha about
Kamala Harris's vision for all the things that she would
do to lower the cost of this or that, And
I kept thought of wanting him to say, this is
what she's already done.

Speaker 11 (01:20:39):
Yeah, what has she done?

Speaker 6 (01:20:41):
Vance on Fox Thousands continuing their protests, largely pro Palestinian,
anti Israel Antifa. Only dozens have been arrested so far,
though they're kind of letting them have sway. We saw
a different kind of demonstration last night too.

Speaker 10 (01:20:58):
This is a group of uncommitted delegate gets. They heard
the families of hostages being held in Gaza speak at
the convention and they got upset because they said they're
wonn't enough Palestinian voices being heard from the convention floor.
They were joined for a time by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Speaker 11 (01:21:14):
Now you know, Fox is Mike Tobin.

Speaker 6 (01:21:16):
Donald Trump reacting to all this DNC weirdness. He told
Fox and Friends moments ago that the Democrats are just
obsessed with him, not so much on fixing the country.

Speaker 16 (01:21:29):
They mentioned me two hundred and ninety seven times, they
mentioned the border once, they mentioned crime twice. They don't
mention the economy because the economy is horrible.

Speaker 6 (01:21:39):
Trump holding his first out to a rally yesterday since
the July thirteenth assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 11 (01:21:46):
He's going to be.

In Arizona today, as will Robert F. Kennedy Junior reportedly
going to be dropping out of the race and endorsing
Trump at that event in Arizona.

Speaker 18 (01:22:00):
Hmm, well, it's a big deal and maybe the biggest
deal since Kamala Harris became the Democrat nominee. I think
it puts Kamala Harris on her back foot in a big.

Speaker 5 (01:22:15):
Big way.

Speaker 6 (01:22:17):
Ktrh's Clay Travis. It's now seven oh four. Kamala Harris
accepts the nomination, addresses a convention tonight. Her economic plan
reportedly will incentivize and subsidize fatherless homes.

Speaker 13 (01:22:33):
It'll cost billions and billions of dollars. But the real
cost is when you subsidize fatherless homes and is very
unfair of the kids and a mom and to the
father's shop and outbid by the welfare state.

Speaker 6 (01:22:47):
Grover nor Kip quest he's with Americans for tax reform.
He's a Democrats proving once again they're actually anti family.
Oprah Winfrey a speaker last night in Chicago. New Harvard
study finds celebrities can impact elections and Democrats are all
in for it.

Speaker 14 (01:23:05):
Unfortunately, that doesn't make for a very informed voter base.

Speaker 15 (01:23:08):
They're promoting policies and candidates that have no basis in logic, history,
or fact, based purely on emotion and their personal perspective.

Speaker 14 (01:23:17):
Political analyst Leddavidia told KTRH that celebrity endorsements don't flip
huge numbers of voters, but they make a difference.

Speaker 15 (01:23:24):
It's a very small sliver of the electorate, but when
the elections are so tight, every little bit of those
margins can help.

Speaker 14 (01:23:31):
D Vida says Democrats are likely using their celebrity spokesman
as smoke and mirrors to hide their bad policies. Ethan Buchanan,
News Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 6 (01:23:40):
Well, it's one big gas lipe that the Dems you're
trying to make us believe they're not only going to
win the White House, they're going to take continue to
keep their power in the Senate.

Speaker 19 (01:23:51):
But Serah Rick Manning with Americans for Limited Government says
the Dems will have to pitch a perfect game to
stop the GOP.

Speaker 9 (01:23:59):
Quite honestly, I haven't seen that happen very often in
my life.

Speaker 19 (01:24:02):
And something else the Dems think might happen. They're calling
Texas a toss up.

Speaker 9 (01:24:07):
It has been really just wishful thinking. But it is
part of their national plan, so they're going to promote
it every single election.

Speaker 19 (01:24:14):
Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven forty k.

Speaker 6 (01:24:17):
T or H is now seven o six. Let's look
at our money. Biden Harris regime. They've lied repeatedly on
the federal jobs numbers. We know that revising downward. For
the year that ended March of twenty twenty four, there
were eight hundred and eighteen thousand jobs they claimed they
created that they didn't.

Speaker 11 (01:24:37):
They lied to us.

Speaker 20 (01:24:39):
It's a massive stir up on behalf of the Bureau
of labor statistics, so leave it to the government, to.

Speaker 6 (01:24:46):
Big government Fox businesses Dagan McDowell. There now, over the
last two years revisions have actually resulted in two years
time of one point one million jobs that never were
But it gives the Fed the perfect excuse to start
lowering interest rates recession. Don't you know, real wage growth

(01:25:07):
failing too, and while all of us try to keep
our bank accounts balanced. Houston ranks fifth in the country
for the highest overdraft fees average at just under thirty bucks.

Speaker 21 (01:25:17):
Overdraft fees have been coming down for the past couple
of years, but they still pack upon especially in the
Houston area. The average still north of twenty nine dollars,
so really important to take the steps necessary to avoid
those overdrafts in the first place.

Speaker 6 (01:25:30):
Bank rates Greg McBride Texas Lottery Commission underheat allowing middleman
websites to sell lottery tickets.

Speaker 11 (01:25:39):
And that means they can be sold to minors.

Speaker 12 (01:25:42):
It opened up the possibility that children are able to
purchase lottery tickets, or miners people who otherwise aren't eligible
to play the lottery.

Speaker 6 (01:25:49):
Yeah, Brandon Waltons with Texas Scorecard, you also can't buy

uff Ryar on news radio seven forty k TRH when.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
We say what happens next, happens here news is just
in your guests is as good as ours.

Speaker 5 (01:26:25):
What happens next?

Speaker 24 (01:26:26):
Man on news radio.

Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
Seventy forty k t RH Newsmax reporting that Iran wants
Trump eliminated by election day. I don't think it's any
secret that there's a hitout on former President Donald Trump
from the Iranian officials. He's not the only one, but
I think they would want him worse than anything because
they're they're they're dreadfully afraid of what happens if he

(01:26:51):
becomes president again, especially what happens to them, because he
knows or they know, rather that Trump don't play, he
didn't mess around.

Speaker 5 (01:26:58):
He's going to have sanctions.

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
You know, he's going to do everything he can to
prevent them from having a nuclear weapon whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:27:05):
That pretty much takes.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
Now along with that, we heard from FOREIDNA representive Mike
Walts about the latest his hearing about Trump Rally gunman
Thomas Matthew Crooks. They now know that he didn't just
have one overseas encrypted account. He had multiple overseas encrypted accounts.
He had them in New Zealand, Belgium, and Germany. And

(01:27:30):
to quote Representive Walts, why does a nineteen year old
kid who's a healthcare aid need encrypted platforms not even
based in the United States, but based abroad where most
terrorist organizations know it's harder for law enforcement to get
at it. In other words, there may very well be
whether it's Iran or some other foreign entity, there may

(01:27:51):
very well be a connection between the gunmen and a
foreign entity.

Speaker 6 (01:27:54):
You know, we're having to get our information out of
congressional investigations because the FBI won't tell us anything, or
will the Secret Service.

Speaker 5 (01:28:01):
Yep, I won't tell them.

Speaker 6 (01:28:03):
I'm not even sure that they're investigating. I mean, what's happened?
What's the federal government doing about this?

Speaker 5 (01:28:10):
As far as we know nothing.

Speaker 11 (01:28:12):
It's just disgusting to me as.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
Far as we know, absolutely nothing. Seven to ten, time
for traffic and weather together. Just check out that drive again, Hey,

Oh I'm sorry, that's Hasma. Well I saw a puppy dog.
That's has Matt.

Speaker 4 (01:28:41):

Speaker 44 (01:28:48):
Party outbound, but just in the middle lane as.

Speaker 51 (01:28:53):
Say we're coming on car just rear ended for no
reason on a truck in front of them.

Speaker 4 (01:28:57):
Okay, that's going to mess up not only your hearty,

Terry Smith is here. Well, there's a couple of clouds
out there this morning. What are they doing out there?
They won't be there for long, will they, Terry, No.

Speaker 11 (01:29:45):
They're not going to be here very long.

Speaker 22 (01:29:47):
I mean, we'll see some clouds drifting by, but they're
no good, not up to anything helpful kind of clouds. Really,
We've got lots of sunshine, very little rain.

Speaker 5 (01:29:57):
There is a twenty.

Speaker 22 (01:29:58):
Percent chance that the sever I'll bring us a shower
at thunderstorm later today and tomorrow and Saturday as well.
The temperatures are beginning to ease up a little bit
today upper nineties to one oh one. The heat in
decks running as high as one twelve. So we have
a heat advisory today, Tomorrow and Saturday mid to upper nineties.

(01:30:19):
We've got more rain, a thirty percent chance of thunderstorms Sunday,
fifty percent chance of thunderstorms Monday. That'll help to hold
the temperatures into the nineties. So hopefully today's our last
day of triple digit heat.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
Seven twenty is our time here in Houston's Born News.
You know, we talk all the time about the presidential election,
but equally, if not even more so important is the
race for the House and the Senate and who's going
to be controlling that. I mean, the margin in the
House is races and Democrats currently control the Senate and
Republicans turn that around. Well, Democrats were worried about that.

(01:31:05):
That's why they have a new candidate for president, and
now they have hope they'll be able to retain control
of the Senate. We'll have more in that story coming
up next. First, though, traffic and whether the other's starting
with you, sky Mike.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
What's that? Do we have a guest? Yes, sir, okay,
let me go fast in. First of all, North Freeway
southbound West Road. That's a wreck. It's looking bad.

Speaker 4 (01:31:22):
It's two left lanes now backed up from Ayortech Sam
from Iowa Colonies on two eighty eight.

That my northbound after shadow Foot Street before the beout
Way left lane has now been closed.

Speaker 9 (01:31:33):

Speaker 4 (01:31:34):

quite a spackle now coming up before Hairland northbound. I'm

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
From r KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four hour Weather

Latest news anytime at KTRH dot com. Our next update
will be at the bottom of the hour.

Speaker 5 (01:32:54):
You like free stuff. We all like free stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
Guess what our iHeartRadio is free and free.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
Never sound. It's so good with Kamala Harris. Now the
new Democrat nominee. Does this change things? Democrats are sure
hoping so, I don't know if it really does. We'll
see Richard Benning as President of Americans for Limited Government.
Do you think that was a game changer for Democrats
as far as the Senate and the House.

Speaker 9 (01:33:21):
It does get a little bit more excitement to the
Democratic down ticket opportunities of the voters. But the fact
of the matter is no, the states that the Democrats
have seats up are Republican states, and place like Montana, Ohio,
they've got very vulnerable incumbents up. It's hard to beat

(01:33:43):
an incumbent. But in presidential election year with a strong
Republican turnout, because it's a presidential election year, Democrats have
a really really difficult way to go to keep control
of the House or the Senate. In fact, if you know,
I think it's more likely there's fifty three to fifty
four Republicans and there are Democrats. Democrat motrol control.

Speaker 6 (01:34:04):
Yeah, and it's just a matter of really, they've five seats.
If the Republicans retain control of their five seats and
then managed to swing two or even one, will that
be enough.

Speaker 9 (01:34:19):
Well, if they're swing one, they better win the presidency
because they puts a fifty. But there's a no they're
going to I mean, it's the map, the map. If
everything goes away, it just should according to form, the
Republicans should pick up two to three seats. The challenge
is this the Republicans to have an effective majority should

(01:34:42):
Donald Trump be present. To have an effective governing majority,
need to really get to fifty three fifty four seats,
because you've got Murkowski in Alaska Councils, a Republican but
was elected by Democrats, and you have Collins will be
up in Maine, which means a hard vote to get,
and so you have at least two Republicans who will be,

(01:35:03):
let's say, not on board with the Trump agenda in
any great degree, and as a result, you really need
to get to fifty three to have a governing majority
for the Republicans in the Senate.

Speaker 3 (01:35:15):
You know, there's been a lot of excitement in the
past about the possibility of Republics controlling the Senate, in
the House, in the White House. They kind of disappointed
us last time around when they had that going for him.
They didn't really get a whole lot done, or at
least not as much done as everybody thought they would.

Speaker 9 (01:35:30):
No, the big sail on repealing Obamacare was a or
even amending Obamacare was a big disappointment. And you know,
the fact matter is, I had the opportunity to sit
down at Center McConnell the day before that vote, and
he was convinced that John McCain was going to vote
with him. He was absolutely one hundre percent convinced. And

(01:35:51):
I don't think he has cut more off guard than
the Mitch McConnell. That they weren't able to pass that
and pass the quasi repealed that they had on the floor,
and sometimes, you know, sometimes people don't tell you the truth,
and you know, and the Republicans, it destroyed them in
the next election that they weren't able to deliver on

(01:36:13):
a basic promise. So, yeah, if they hit the control,
they darned well better make good use of it.

Speaker 6 (01:36:19):
Last time out, they were an awful lot of ballots
that simply voted for president and didn't vote down ballot.

Speaker 11 (01:36:25):
Do you see that happening again?

Speaker 9 (01:36:30):
Those are kind of shady ballots, a lot of them,
and I certainly hope we've put safeguards in place. In
places like Georgia, there aren't a lot of shall we say,
unfolded absentee ballots showing up at the polling places. I'm
hoping we've got the safeguards in place to stop that.

(01:36:51):
In many of the states like Georgia and Arizona in particular.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton now investigating perhaps illegal aliens
registering to vote being registered by nngos. The AG's office
executing search warrants this week in Bear Counties as well

(01:40:14):
as Frio and Aascosa County.

Speaker 32 (01:40:17):
Why would these organizations be on DPS property registering people
to vote unless they're registering people that are here illegally
out of it doesn't make.

Speaker 6 (01:40:26):
Sense, Paxton on Newsmax. As for ballot counting, hackers easily
breached voting machines during test demonstrations at the recent Defcon
Security Conference. Political analyst Raven Harrison says good reason why
mainstream media just always keeps this quiet.

Speaker 33 (01:40:43):
They have ruined people who have tried to even suggest
that this is possible, but we have seen it as possible.
So the saying goes that those who don't know history
are doomed to repeat it, but those who don't peach
history are intending to repeat it.

Speaker 6 (01:40:56):
But she also warns too many Republicans have failed to
even a rest this issue since twenty twenty. It's even
worse to US postal service part of this steal.

facilities or not following election in political mail policy and procedures.

Hans von Spakowski, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, says,
showing up to the polls this election year is the
way to go.

Speaker 34 (01:41:27):
Unless you absolutely have to use a mail in or
absentee ballot because you're disabled or out of the country, you're.

Speaker 12 (01:41:35):
Foolish to do so.

He keeps blaming it, as the Democrats do on Donald Trump. No,
it's a Heritage Foundation, Trump repeatedly denying any connection to it.
He has his own plan Agenda forty seven. The DIMS
have avoided mentioning Joe Biden for days. You know, the
sitting president until Bill Clinton brought it up last night

(01:42:28):
to thank him.

Speaker 30 (01:42:29):
I want to thank him for his courage, compassion, his class,
his service, his sacrifice.

Speaker 6 (01:42:39):
Yeah, sacrifice, that's what he calls the party coup that
took him out. Kamala Harris speaking tonight, and expect more
mainstream media hype all about it. Reuter's Right now is
citing unnamed sources that the Harris campaign is so popular
it's raised five hundred million dollars since she was anointed
last month. Remember, two hundred and fifty three hundred million

(01:43:01):
had to be slid over from the Biden more Chess
couldn't go anywhere else, and Act Blue funneled large amounts
of dark money from unidentified, misidentified donors. Investigations into that
are underway. Seven thirty five is our time. Healthcare saw
also something policy wise that Harris will not talk about,

(01:43:22):
And there's a big Medicare price hike coming and it's
being hidden.

Speaker 35 (01:43:27):
Insurance companies are having to recover losses from the price
cap on drugs.

Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:44:29):
That report identified staffing as the major issue in creating
the scandal, but also highlighted a lack of training. It's
coming up on seven thirty seven now. The Texas Education
Agency has created a new state curriculum. They say it
will take learning back to the basics. Education expert gene

(01:44:50):
Burke says, well, it's because of the outrage from the
publican parents over what has been taught in our classrooms.

Speaker 38 (01:44:58):
I think they will kill more competent. You know, we
see such a mass age of this from the school
system that you know, people because the kids aren't learning
because of what's being taught, things that families don't agree with.

Speaker 6 (01:45:10):
Yeah, and by cutting out a lot of these DEI
initiatives and some of the big basic, expensive curriculums being taught,
it reallocates funds and that's going to be a help
in lowering property tax burdens. The Astros lose to the

Radio seven TRH missed the number here eight hundred and
eighteen thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:46:03):
They claimed eight hundred and eighteen thousand jobs who were
created than what work. That's a lot. It's a lot
of jobs.

Speaker 11 (01:46:11):
And that's just.

Speaker 6 (01:46:12):
Up to March of twenty four is the year preceding it.
That ended March twenty twenty four, exactly months. Yeah, so
you know March was a long time ago.

Speaker 5 (01:46:21):
Yeah, it was. So things have got any better.

Speaker 6 (01:46:24):
So this is the timing of the revision. I know
they do it annually. Yeah, big deal, But it's all
timed to get the Fed to say, oh, gee, the
economy is slowing week and lower interest rates, Yeah, which
is what Wall Street and the big banks want.

Speaker 5 (01:46:38):
Sure. Yeah, no, I think you'll probably give you.

Speaker 6 (01:46:41):
A false sense that we've got a great economy when
we don't have the jobs. And they also did that
pay wages have not kept up with inflation. I mean,
the whole thing is just such a house of cards
and such a scam.

Speaker 11 (01:46:54):
It's disgusting.

Speaker 3 (01:46:55):
Yeah, you can't really believe any of the numbers the
government gives you on this stuff anything. Yeah, I mean
they consistently. It's this is the definition of the term gaslighting.
I mean, we were gasled into thinking that more jobs
are being created than what they were. And now I
think the FED is being gasled to a certain extent
of lower interest rates so that they can try to

(01:47:16):
get that end of it going again.

Speaker 6 (01:47:18):
Well, what they've given the legacy of this regime is
total distrust of government from anybody who's got a brain.

Speaker 3 (01:47:26):
Yeah, I think you're right about that. Regime is a
good way to put it, too. Seven forty. Time for

Speaker 3 (01:52:43):
Well eight hundred and eighteen thousand people were supposedly working
that words, they just bang on the drum all day.
I guess where'd those jobs go? President Trump talked about
it on the campaign trail yesterday, and Jesse Waters gives
some reaction at the end of that.

Speaker 16 (01:52:58):
Taris Biden haddministration has been caught for udulently manipulating job
statistics to hide the true extent of the economic ruin
that they've inflicted on America. Then extra, listen to this.

Speaker 17 (01:53:13):
One eight hundred and eighteen thousand jobs.

Speaker 5 (01:53:17):
That don't exist.

Speaker 16 (01:53:19):
So they said they existed, and they never did exist.
They built them up so that they could say, what
a wonderful.

Speaker 5 (01:53:26):
Job they're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
Now.

Speaker 52 (01:53:27):
The border, the jobs, the crime numbers, they're all mirage.
Donald Trump came in. Third quarter GDP was a thirty
five percent. That's a record fourth quarter GDP twenty twenty
four point two percent. He handed Joe Biden a growing economy.
All of the Biden jobs are bounced back jobs from

(01:53:48):
COVID and then forty percent of the jobs under Joe
Biden had been from foreign born workers aka illegals. Now,
Greg is right. What they want to do is they
want to te tax wealth. It's a wealth tax. This
is what Liz Warren wants. Kamala is like Liz Warren,
but she's actually Indian.

Speaker 5 (01:54:07):
Okay.

Speaker 52 (01:54:08):
The people say it's this is like a conspiracy that
the government would like somehow use the jobs numbers in
an election year to help the Democrat. Okay, So when
Trump wins and he investigates it, they're gonna call that
a revenge tour.

Speaker 5 (01:54:22):
This is what's happening here.

Speaker 52 (01:54:24):
You now need to make one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars a year to live one hundred thousand dollars a
year lifestyle. Twenty thousand dollars in purchasing power is gone
because of Joe Biden. Medium household income under Donald Trump
seventy eight grand under Biden, Harris seventy six thousand dollars.
It's gone. They're just taking the money away now. She

(01:54:46):
wants to raise taxes and spend three trillion dollars and
cap prices like a communist.

Speaker 5 (01:54:53):
But don't call her comrade. That's mean.

Speaker 3 (01:54:55):
Yeah, it's accurate. It may be mean, but it certainly
is accurate. I mean, that's that's a message that cannot
be hammered home enough with people who are still supporting
their people.

Speaker 11 (01:55:07):
The Democrats won't accept it, I mean, I run into.

Speaker 3 (01:55:11):
Won't accept it as truthful information. They just they think
it's misinformation.

Speaker 11 (01:55:15):
Kamala, kamala.

Speaker 3 (01:55:16):
Are they not living their lives? Do they not go
to the grocery store or do they not care how
much groceries cost? Well, they don't mind spending thirty bucks
for a packet of toilet paper.

Speaker 11 (01:55:26):
Let's call them young.

Speaker 3 (01:55:29):

Speaker 5 (01:55:53):
Of for them, Well, maybe they've given up on trying.

Speaker 6 (01:55:55):
It's great to live in the nanny state if you're
one of the people being taken care of. I guess
so the expense of everybody who's not.
