Speaker 5 (01:32):
Thank you very much, Bob five oh one on KGRH
our top story this hour.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
Schumer caves, I believe it is my job to make
the best choice for the country to minimize the harms
to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep
the government open.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
The Senate minority leader last night giving in to President
and Trump, as predicted by Texas Senator Ted Kruz, I.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Think they're going to buckle. I think they're going to fold.
That was Cruise on Newsmax.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
Now, vote to limit debate on the House spending bill
will take place after lunch. The deadline to avoid the
shutdown is tonight. Yesterday was the deadline for government agencies
to tell the White House just how they were going
to cut waste. Meantime, DOGE canceled more than two hundred
and thirty contracts in a two day period, including a

(02:20):
grant to teach transfarmers about food justice. It's now five
oh two. Hundreds of protesters trying to take over Trump
Tower in New York City yesterday demonstrating in support for
the anti Israeli protest leader Mahmud Khalil. Ninety eight people

(02:44):
were arrested. Khalil was detained last week. Vice President jd
Vance told Fox this was justified.

Speaker 7 (02:51):
Who do we, as an American public decide gets to
join our national community? And if the Secretary of State
and the President decide this person shouldn't be in America
and they have no legal right to stay here, It's
as simple as that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
And get this.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Khalil has asked a federal court to block Columbia University
from sharing disciplinary records from campus protests. At five three,
The G seven continues in Canada this morning, with President
Trump promising to hold the line on tariffs.

Speaker 8 (03:21):
We've been ripped off for years, and we're not going
to be ripped off anymore. Now, I'm not going to
bend at all. Aluminum or steel for cars. We're not
going to bend. We've been ripped off as a country
for many, many years.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Trump is also promising two hundred percent tariffs on French
wine and other alcoholic products from the EU. Overnight trading
up across the board this morning, including a Dow futures
mark of beating up two hundred and thirty points. Yesterday,
the SMP closed in correction Territory. Now the mainstream media

(03:53):
is trying to talk this country into an economic downturn.
Just listen to them, and it's all because they don't
like Donald Trump.

Speaker 9 (04:01):
It's starting to look like they're rooting for a recession
just to use it against Trump.

Speaker 10 (04:05):
They're starting to highlight some of the problems with the
labor market that were already there during the Biden administration,
but now they want to highlight them during the Trump administration.

Speaker 9 (04:14):
Economist Vance Ginn says this is part of the mainstream
media's effort to cover for the Biden economy.

Speaker 10 (04:19):
They're hiding what was going on during the Biden administration,
and now we're seeing exposure of the failed policies of
the federal government.

Speaker 9 (04:27):
He says, at this point, left wing fearmongering is more
likely to cause a recession than anything Trump is doing.
Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty KRH it's.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Now five HO four.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Russia's Vladimir Putin says he agrees in principle with a
potential ceasefire, but says more discussions are needed for lasting peace.
This came after Ukraine agreed to a deal earlier this
week in Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 11 (04:49):
We had very good conversations. At one point we even
broke out a map and started drawing on it on
how we're going to end this war. And you saw
as a result of the end that the Ukrainians agreed
that they need to move to a ceasefire.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
National Security Advisor Michael Waltz talking to KTRH as Sean Hannity.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
And as Trump moves closer to ending the war in Europe,
the left continues to call him Putin's puppet.

Speaker 12 (05:17):
But as Andrea Widberg with American Thinker points out, the
real Putin puppet was none other than the left's beloved
Barack Obama.

Speaker 13 (05:27):
He courted Putin for his entire presidency.

Speaker 12 (05:31):
The facts are well documented going all the way back
to two thousand and eight.

Speaker 14 (05:36):
Obama enjoyed Putin's company. Obama liked Suten, and he feared Putin,
and he looked up to Putin.

Speaker 12 (05:44):
And don't forget all of the help from Hillary Clinton.
Jeff Bigs News Radio seven forty k T reach.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Thank you, Jeff. Five h five.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Here at home, the state legislature makes another move on DEI,
the Senate panel advancing a bill to ban it in
K through twelve puppl schools. Lieutenant Governor Ganpatrick releases his
second list of priorities for the session, and it includes
school choice. Here in Harris County, the Flood Control District
had to do some damage control after an issue with

(06:13):
their online maps. Bob Rayhawk runs the site Reduced Flooding
dot Com.

Speaker 15 (06:18):
The Flood Control District launched a new interactive map. The
problem was it was just riddled with errors. Many of
the projects that hadn't even started yet were marked complete.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
The Flood Control District did tell KTRH that the site
has since been updated five h six after DeLay's earlier
this week, SpaceX and NASA are hoping to launch a
mission tonight to rescue two astronauts stranded on the International
Space Station.

Speaker 16 (06:45):
NASA says Friday's weather is more than ninety five percent
favorable for launch. A SpaceX Falcon nine rocket will send
two Americans, a Russian, and a Japanese astronaut to the
International Space Station, docking late Saturday night. After a brief
hand over period. Four current ISS crew members will be
able to return to Earth in a separate SpaceX capsule

(07:06):
that's already docked there.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
That is Fox's Jonathan Seri and the Rockets put their
four game winning streak on the line tonight against the MAVs.
Pregame at six on Sports Talk seven ninety I'm Cliff
Saunders on Houston's News Weather in traffic station KTRH.

Speaker 17 (07:22):
Houston's Morning News continues with Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
All right, seven minutes after five o'clock. Good Friday morning
to you. It's the fourteenth morning, by my account, of
the third month in the Year of our Lord, twenty
twenty five. Bob Franz sitting in for Jimmy Barrett one
final time this week, and Wow, what a Friday we
have in front of us.

Speaker 18 (07:45):
It's going to be.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Interesting all day waiting until that last second shutdown vote.
All right, I guess we probably shouldn't call it a
shutdown vote. It's a vote to avoid a shutdown. It's
avoy two continue funding the government at almost identical levels
to where it is right now. The CR that the
Republicans passed out of the House funds the government at

(08:06):
its current level, with a couple of minor changes. Maybe
it does indeed include a little bit more spending for
the Pentagon, but it also includes a few more spending
cuts Beyond that, though it is largely the same, and
that's why it's called a CR. And Democrats have been
posturing and planning and announcing nope, nope, nope, nope, they

(08:26):
don't have the votes. Chuck Schumer just literally a day
ago said the Republicans don't have the votes to clear
the way for that sire to fund the government through September.

Speaker 18 (08:36):
They can't do it, and they won't do it. And
then suddenly.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Late yesterday Chuck Schumer changed his tune and said he's
going to vote for it.

Speaker 18 (08:44):
It's really bizarre.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
It's in somehow, some way he's blaming President Trump for
his own blink, his own surrender. He looked at the
situation decided it was not a tenable situation and not
a winning message for him and his party, and his
caucus said okay, well I'm going to vote for it,
and it's Trump's fault, which is really kind of odd.

(09:05):
So the grand standing on Wednesday sure looked.

Speaker 18 (09:08):
Like a bluff. It sounded like a bluff.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
President Trump called it a bluff, and on Thursday, Chuck
Schumer proved, yeah, it was pretty much a bluff.

Speaker 18 (09:17):
However, this is Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
This is not necessarily the full Democrat caucus in the Senate.
His entire party is not necessarily going to automatically vote
for this just because he said he would. Now he
doesn't need the entire President Trump, that is, doesn't need
the entire party to vote for this. He needs just
well seven Democrats. So that's a good thing. And it

(09:39):
looks like Fetterman is going to be one of them.
Now Schumer is too. He's going to need five more.
So it's very likely that there will be a handful
of more that follow Schumer's lead. But the Democrats are
starting to splinter a little bit. And this is something
that Republicans better take note of because it doesn't happen often.
The one thing that the Democrats can be given it

(10:00):
for is their steadfast loyalty, marching in lockstep, almost in
goose step with one another sometimes, but lockstep and not
you know not, I don't a phrase. It not causing
any waves, Let's put it that way, because they know
ifs soon as one of them starts to buckle, they
will get cast out of the party. They will be destroyed.

(10:22):
They really really believe in uniformity. They do not believe
in individual ideas. So the odds are very very good
here that they will indeed follow in line or follow
in line with their leaders. But this is a really
really interesting situation. The vote should happen today and we
could be heading off that long expected shutdown because they
were posturing for quite some time.

Speaker 18 (10:43):
We're going to cover that fully today.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
We have a lot of great people to talk to,
and we certainly welcome you and appreciate you being on board.
It's five ten now we're going to get started with
our morning drive and see what's happening on the roads.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Step right.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
So far we're having a spring break here in Htown.
Freeways or incident free for the moment. I'll tell you
this is a cautionary tale for a lot of us.
What's going on in Austin. They had that I thirty
five north of downtown southbound around Wells Branch Parkway.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's a total shutdown. If you know anybody.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
There, let them know because it's going to be like
this all morning, probably through lunch. It was a seventeen
car pilot, Clifford, So watch out if you're coming down
from Georgetown now Beaumont, you've got this big smush too northbound.
I'm not sure what you're doing over there at ninety six.
I'll have to talk to one of my friends in
the Golden Triangle and here in Houston. One thing I
noticed about that Austin rick was it's right in a

(11:31):
construction zone, so you know, somebody else might have not
been paying attention. Watch out on the north sam Aldean
Westfield westbound, Imperial Valley eastbound, we're missing a left lane
both ways.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
You've got that concrete.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Wall and sometimes those signs get knocked down with warners.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
So if you see something like that, let me know.
I could actually fix that.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Seven one three two one two Tips. Kevin from Texas
City is coming up the Golf Freeway, Dude.

Speaker 19 (11:57):
Scott, my little foggy on areon galas your driver, Be careful,
watch out for each other.

Speaker 20 (12:05):

Speaker 4 (12:08):
We'll keep an eye on that Skymike on the USA
Rvresorts dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
All right, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Mike ken Boone's weather forecast today, mostly sunny, high about
eighty four, overnight down to about sixty seven, with some
spotty rain showers here and there. Sunny and breezy Saturday
highs in the mid eighties. We'll cooler on Sunday in
the upper seventies, and then back into the low eighties
for the first half of the next work week. Right now,
sixty seven at your official severe weather station. News Radio

(12:36):
seven forty k t RH.

Speaker 17 (12:39):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy Barretts and the Houston
Morning News team all the info you need to take
on the day.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
All right, good morning once again, eighteen minutes after five o'clock.
Bob France sitting in for Jimmy Barrett one final time
this week, and Happy Friday to you. So yeah, it's
it was quite a gloryiou thing. Honestly, if you are
supportive of the country not being shut down the government,
that would be to hear Chuck Schumer just one day
after posturing so hard that there's no way the Republicans

(13:11):
get this done, Chuck Schumer, I.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
Believe it is my job to make the best choice
for the country to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore,
I will vote to keep the government open and not
shut it down.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
There is nobody in.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
The world, nobody who wants to shut the government down
more than Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'll pause this there just to kind of laugh for
a second, because I mean, Donald Trump has an agenda
that he wants to obviously advance, he ran on it,
he started executive ordering that agenda. Now he knows he
needs to get the budget resolution passed.

Speaker 18 (13:51):
He's got to get it past.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
To fund everything that he wants to do, and then
also get it done legislatively. Why would he want to
shut down the government. It makes no sense. What's however,
but he is looking for some explanation or some way
to sell it to his people that he is not
caving to Donald Trump, that he is actually standing up
to Donald Trump by doing this and.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
More than Elon Musk. We should not give it to them,
and make no mistake, Donald Democrats will continue to fight
what Donald Trump is doing. Everything that Trump, Musk and
Republicans have done so far has a clear goal again,
cutting taxes for billionaires, eviscerate Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Again, they repeat the same talking points that have failed
them over and over and over again in elections. In
public polling, nobody believes that Republicans are trying to a
give tax cuts to billionaires.

Speaker 18 (14:48):
B cut entitlement spending.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
They are trying to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse
entitlement spending, which is exactly what Elon Musk has been
tasked with doing.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
This is the fight that matters most.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
In the fight, we must focus on all the chaos
we have seen, all the lawlessness, all the grift and
corrupt behavior.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Is exactly what the Republicans are fighting. All of the chaos,
all of the grift, and all of the corrupt behavior.
It's exactly why President Trump tasked Elon Musk with getting
to the bottom all all of that. Remember the old
children's cartoon I did, I loved it. It was hilarious,
Captain Caveman.

Speaker 18 (15:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well, here's the twenty twenty five version of it, Captain Caveman,
Chuck Schumer caving in to President Trump five twenty Now,
let's go go out to the road ways against Caveman
at all.

Speaker 18 (15:36):
You know what it do like?

Speaker 4 (15:37):
No, but you know what it looks like in some
of our listening area. It looks like the beginning beginning
of Scooby Doo. You know what's going on because it's
all foggy out there. It's kind of spooky out in
the country. We've got rumblings of something going on on
the hard work, and he said, put your hard head on.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Let's talk to James from Liberty.

of the walmart.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
They're well, said James from Liberty and banana sticker for you.
It looks to me from what I can see, it's
tough to see the langage, but it could be closed
both ways. We're going to zoom that at the five
thirty News cast and seven one three, two one two

Speaker 3 (16:18):

While watching Captain cave Man, thank you by catching ken
Boone's weather forecast looks like gonna be in the mid
eighties today, still very very warm. Uh uh season How
do I want to say that? Unseasonably that's the word. Yeah,
I'm struggling with the words this one. Unseasonably warm in
the mid eighties. Dropped down to about sixty seven overnight tonight,

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Our next update is at five point thirty. We can't
let these things happen anymore.

Speaker 8 (18:01):
A new age, the Golden Age of America, begins right now.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Easier stay tuned on news radio se KTRH.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
All right, another top story today, The mob, the left
wing rage mob strikes again.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
They struck yesterday at Trump Tower.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
The surge of anti Semitic pro Palestinian protesters to basically
seized the lobby, the inside lobby of Trump Tower in
New York City to protest the detainment and the potential
deportation of a Columbia University graduate who helped lead pro
Palestinian protests on the Columbia campus, putting Jewish students in

(18:46):
very precarious situations, making them afraid to come out of
their dorm rooms and walk across campus, which of course
is why this is a problem. The detainee, Machmoud Khalil,
was taken into custody over the weekend last weekend by
federal agents and is now in a holding facility in
Louisiana awaiting hearing. The Trump administration wants to deport him

(19:06):
despite him having a green card, which has sparked some protest,
including what happened to Tronptwer yesterday. The protesters inside the
tower were seen holding signs that read free Mockmood, Free Palestine,
and fight Nazis, not students, which is really interesting. Jade
Vance sat down with lor Ingram last night to explain,
just because you have a green card, it does not

(19:28):
make you undeportable, doesn't give you the right to stay
here forever.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
Up you've already started to see some real progress.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
We're going to make more.

Speaker 24 (19:36):
There's controversy over the decision to try to deport that
former Columbia student, Machmood Khalil, over national security concerns that
were determined to be in place by Marco Rubil. Are
you at all worried that a future Democrat administration would
use that same provision to try to deport conservative student

(20:00):
studying here in the United.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
States, Well, if it was an American citizen, it would
be a different conversation. If a Democrat tried to do
that to an American citizen.

Speaker 25 (20:06):
Of course, talking about green cards, that would be.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
That would be a problem.

Speaker 7 (20:10):
But Laura, a green card holder, even if I might
like that green card holder, doesn't have an indefinite right
to be in the United States of America, right, American
citizens have different rights from people who have green cards,
from people who have student visas. And so my attitude
on this is this is not fundamentally about free speech,
and to me, yes, it's about national security, but it's

(20:30):
also more importantly about who do we, as an American
public decide gets to join our national community.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
And we do get the right to make that decision.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's exactly right, and Laura Ingram correctly poured out it
was Secretary of State Mark or Rubio who made the
determination this guy needs to be deported and there's a
good reason for that.

Speaker 26 (20:48):
When you enter the This is an important point and
I'm glad you asked this question. When you come to
the United States as a visitor, which is what a
visa is, which is how this individual entered this country
as on a visitor's visa. Okay, you are here as
a visitor. We can deny you that visa. We can
deny you that if you tell us when you apply. Hi,
I'm trying to get into the United States on a
student visa. I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous,

(21:10):
barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that
takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that
returns more bodies than live hostages. If you tell us
that you are in favor of a group like this,
and if you tell us when you apply for your visa,
and by the way, I intend to come to your
country as a student and rile up all kinds of
anti Jewish student anti Semitic activities. I intend to shut

(21:33):
down your universities. If you told us all these things
when you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
And there it is, we would deny your visa if
you said you were going to do those things. Well,
you didn't say you were going to do those things,
so we gave you a visa, and then you started
doing those things. And now, yes, indeed, we can revoke
your visa and your green card and you can take
the first plane.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Out of here.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
That is exactly what should happen, because yes, you have
a right to free speech in this country. You do
not have a right to target individuals for harassment, including
Jewish students, making them afraid to even walk outside on
their own campus. That's why they protested in Trump Tower yesterday,
and that's why those protesters were all arrested as well.
And if I was in charge, I would say check

(22:14):
every single one of them and their their immigration status.
And yeah, same thing applies here. If you are ginning
up anger and rage against Jewish students and targeted harassment,
deport them all. You are either with us or with
the terrorists, and terrorists have terrorist sympathizers. Terrorst sympathizers must go.

just an accident or the car disabled in the third lane,
second lane, third lane from the right. I heard something
down coming up on it Cherry.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
All right, that's coming over from JFK. Let me let
the rest of the media know. And also we have
a pretty nasty looking wreck just south of Iten on
one six Bay down south of Lookout. I'm skymight get
your generator supercenter dot Com traffic center.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
All right, mostly Sunday today, high about eighty four, down
to about sixty seven with some spotty rain showers a
little come and go, and sunny and breezy on Saturday,
with highs back in the mid eighties. We'll give you
the rest of the forecast coming up in about eight
and a half minutes. Right now, we have sixty seven
at your official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty
k TIH.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Now let's get the morning news. Year's cliffs owners, Thank you, Bobby.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
Warning everybody, it is five point thirty one on KTRH
our top story. You could still have sanctuary cities, but
they're going to be pretty severe consequences if they want
to continue down this path. That was Attorney General Ken
Paxton from the Great State of Texas on Fox Business
back in twenty eighteen. Remember he already sued Austin and
San Antonio over their sanctuary city policies. Now he's investigating Dallas,

(24:45):
his office is asked for documentation of communications between that
city and its police department about immigration enforcement Elsewhere. The
Trump administration is expected to invoke the Wartime Alien Enemies
Act of seventeen ninety eight. The goal there is to
fast track deportations. Five point thirty two. A Northwest Houston

(25:06):
shop owner stands his ground shooting a person who broke
into their shop earlier this morning. The business owner is
cooperating with police. The bad guy is hospitalized but expected
to survive. This as research shows that concealed carriers actually
stop more active shooters than police do.

Speaker 28 (25:27):
The study from the Crime Prevention Research Center found that
concealed carry permit holders stopped fifty one and a half
percent of active shootings, compared to forty four and a
half percent by police.

Speaker 29 (25:36):
We wanted to try to get a measure of how
frequently those types of problems occur.

Speaker 28 (25:42):
John Lott, president of the CPRC, says attackers can't locate
concealed carriers as easily.

Speaker 29 (25:48):
I think part of the main reason that's going on
there is that police have a very difficult job.

Speaker 28 (25:53):
They're in uniform enough reason to not allow the left
to disarm you or to defund the police.

Speaker 23 (25:58):
Charit Lewis News Radio sip, thank.

Speaker 30 (26:01):
You, Jared Man.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
With violent crime rather rising across the country, New Harris
County DA Shawn Tier says his office will no longer
prosecute nuisance crimes like trespassing.

Speaker 31 (26:13):
We're not stopping anything by prosecuting them and sending them
to jail, So we got to get creative about what
we're gonna do.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Tier earlier this week the Sound from Texas Scorecard. Instead
of prosecuting these crimes, he'll refer them to mental health professionals,
something other George Soro's funded DA's across the country have
already proved doesn't work. KTRH reached out to Tears office
for this story. We did not get our calls or
emails returned. At five point thirty four, the Democrats give in.

(26:45):
Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer now says he will not
shut the government down tonight and will vote for the
current House spending bill. More on that at six o'clock.

Speaker 18 (26:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
This has led to another meltdown from the left and.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
N Men's NBC host needs to take time off because
he can't deal with all of Trump's winning.

Speaker 32 (27:06):
This is day fifty two. I thought it was day
ninety two. It turns out it's day fifty two, Rachel.
And I'm exhausted at day fifty two, and so I'm
going to take.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Next week off.

Speaker 21 (27:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
That was Laurence o'donald last night with Rachel Maddow here
at home. Texas Governor Greg Gabbott has ordered the tea
to look into Bellair High School over the accusations that
teachers there socially transitioned to child against the wishes of
her parents, a story we brought you last month.

Speaker 33 (27:40):
My youngest daughter is now junior at Belair High School.
Within the last two years, we were shocked to learn
that the high school was actively socially transitioning our daughter
by calling her by a different name in.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Pronouns that was Deniast Bell with Moms for Liberty speaking
on behalf of those parents at a school board meeting.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
The board didn't like it and cut her.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
Micaelf at five thirty five and looking at your money,
Gasoline prices continue to come down. The average in Houseton
at two sixty four a gallon this morning. That's the
good news. Here's the bad news. New studies show that
Uston is the most expensive commute in all of Texas.

Speaker 34 (28:15):
About forty eight hundred dollars a year is spend by
commuters and signifies a big concern.

Speaker 35 (28:20):
We are now making our urban areas so unaffordable and
hostile to working families that it's going to start shrinking
our economy and not growing.

Speaker 34 (28:29):
At Terry Hall of Texans for Toll Free Highways says
two bills in Austin would stop the bleeding and hopefully
it makes Texas Texas again.

Speaker 35 (28:37):
We're supposed to be the shining beacon on a hill
of pro family, pro taxpayer state, but urban areas are
increasingly not a.

Speaker 23 (28:44):
Reflection of that.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
She says.

Speaker 34 (28:46):
Toll roads have become a slush fund for politicians. Andre
Parrard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
It's now five thirty six. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association,
rates for thirty year mortgages are starting to fall. Demand
is on the ruys. This is more good news for
the economy.

Speaker 36 (29:02):
The interest rate drop is certainly a welcome change, but
you know, along with it, I think just as importantly,
consumer confidence seems to be up and people are feeling positive.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
Mortgage broker Kathy Baker says, if you've been on the sidelines,
now's your chance to get in on the housing market,
and maybe in Montgomery County specifically Conro, which is seen
a population increase with development in the area of skyrocketing
over the last ten years.

Speaker 22 (29:29):
Since twenty fifteen, we've gone from five hundred and eighteen
thousand residents to seven hundred and forty three thousand, of
forty three percent increase and it's just going on the
tenth year. And so with that people moving in here
that want single occupancy homes.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Montgomery County Judge Marko says they've seen a thirty one
percent increase in home sales since twenty twenty five point
thirty seven college hoops tournament time UH beats Colorado seventy
seven to sixty nine, advancing to the semi finals of
the Big twelve Conference tournament in Kansas City. I'm Cliff
Saunders on Houston's news Weather in traffic station k TRH.

Speaker 37 (30:07):
The twentieth day of January President Hi Donald John Trump,
inauguration Day, the first one hundred days and beyond on
News Radio seven forty.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Kate's e rh all Right height is five thirty seven.
Good morning once again, Happy Friday to you. I hope
he got a great weekend lined up, Chuck Schumer. It'd
be interesting to see what kind of weekend he has.
He is making Republicans happy because he is going to
vote for the continuing Resolution to avoid a government shutdown
and allow the next six months for the budget resolution

(30:40):
process to be negotiated and figured out in order.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
How to advance the Trump agenda.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
But it's making some of his fellow Democrats really really upset,
including the former Bartender. The bubblehead of Bartender said she
didn't like what Chuck Schumer just.

Speaker 38 (30:53):
Did for folks who are concerned about effectiveness and government.
This look in Extreme Spending bill removes all of the
guardrails and all of the accountability measures to ensure that
money is being spent in the way that Congress has
directed for it to be spent.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Congress has no idea how their money is being spent none.
How do we know because Doge looked for it? Okay,
where's the money going? Oh there's no code. Oh there's
no memo. Oh there's no report of which agency sent
that check. Where did the money go? How was it spent?
When it was received. Oh, nobody knows. She's talking about guardrails.

(31:34):
That's the reason why the Continuing Resolution. In addition to
having more money laid out for defense spending, it also
has more spending cuts. You cannot allow American taxpayer dollars
to just disappear into the ether and say, well, Congress
said they could. No, Congress did not say that we
don't know where the money is going.

Speaker 18 (31:53):
We have a right to know. But the bubblehead doesn't
understand this.

Speaker 38 (31:56):
This turns the federal government into a slush fund for
Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
It is literally the ending of a slush fund. It
is the ending of a money laundering operation that has
made countless numbers of left wing politicians rich people making
one hundred and seventy thousand dollars a year to be
in Congress, who are suddenly worth thirty forty million dollars.
They're not doing it by shrewd and savvy investments. That's

(32:23):
a slush fund.

Speaker 38 (32:24):
It sacrifices congressional authority, and it is deeply partisan, and
so to me, it is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats
would vote to hand the few pieces of leverage that
we have away for free when we've been sent here
to protect social security, protect Medicaid, and protect Medicare.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
And once again the same failed line of pseudo policy
comes out of another Democrat's mouth. That was of course
ADC Alexandria Domasio Cortes. It is five forty. Let's check
the traffic and we'll get the weather as well. Here,
Scott Mike, all.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Right, Bob Well JRCh listeners have been the first. All morning.
I've been helping the rest of the media.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
They now have that wreck on the North SAM that's
westbound at forty five Jet from New Katie with the
banana sticker on his art at and we're trying to
get over from JFK. It looks like we've got just
a little laneage getting by, so watch out on the
North Sam. If you can take the north Loop, we're
not loopy at the squeeze at forty five yet, so
you can get by just fine.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
One forty six Baytown.

This is getting ugly trays on the tip line seven

Speaker 30 (33:30):
Good morning, sky mind south bound is completely closed to
just taking ninety nine or maybe Main Street exit the
in Baytown.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
All right, excellent ways to get around that business. And boy,
it looks like nothing good's happening here, so watch out.
If you take ninety nine Grand Parkways looking good on
the east side to and if you skip over to
the Beltway and take the toll bridge. Toll bridge for now,
I may have a little visibility thing. We'll keep our
eyes for you there. You can also hit us on
the iHeartRadio app. Remember that clicked that little talkback Mike,

minute fifty second mark.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
All right, Mike for Magnolia, I'll see you in traffic Court.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
His is on Cypress Wood Drive. Bob Friantz.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
By the way, if you need to know anything about
traffic court, seventy five hundred, Shepherd's probably the nicest one.
But if you go to fourteen hundred. If you go
to fourteen hundred, love it. Give yourself extra time the
parking there's terrible Skymike and the generators Supercenter dot Com
Traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
All right, thanks Mike, and uh, yeah, I haven't had
too many traffic courts.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
It'll be in a while. Oh oh, come talk to me.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
No, no, no, but I will tell you I had
plenty of them in my younger years, my lead footed
and devill make care years. Yeah, that's that was the difference, okay,
but that got poor because of that. Mostly Sunday today

Speaker 3 (35:18):
RH, what you need to know for the day ahead.

Speaker 17 (35:22):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
It is indeed, and it is now five forty eight.
Good morning about France. Sitting in for Jimmy. I remember
remember this little kerfuffle if you will, in the Senate
subcommittee hearing in which committee Chair Keith self a Republican
referred to Democratic Representative Sarah tim McBride by his biological sex.

Speaker 18 (35:48):
Remember this a green Beret.

Speaker 39 (35:51):
I'm not even sure what all the fuss is about.
I mean, he is allowed to live his life. In fact,
I spent twenty five years on active duty defending his
right of his life as he chooses. But I don't
have to participate in his fantasy.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
That was the explanation that chair a subcommittee chair self
gave on the Michael Noles Show. After that whole thing
went down and the Democrats erupted at the lack of decorum,
at the lack of respect by refusing to call Tim
Sarah McBride a female, which of course is not right.

Speaker 18 (36:25):
He's male. He just was wearing female clothing.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
But there's a.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Follow up to that, Tim Sarah Sarah tim McBride decided
to well respond in a video format of her own
or I'm sorry, I'm going to be more accurate here,
like a representative self his own and I'm going to
play it for you after we check traffic and weather.
Now at five p fiftiest, Mike, all right, we've.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Got problems on one just south of it. That's a
bad spot to have.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Arec those of you that make that drive into work
every morning southbound? All the lines are closed here. I
have let the rest of the media know so they'll
be caught up. Also, Nord Sam, you were the first
to know about that wreck westbound right before forty five
greens Point. I don't have the exactly see zoom that
coming to the lane in Chigan. Okay, so right lane
they are letting some people by now. For a moment,

(37:12):
it was all lanes. That was pretty messy stuff. And
if you're coming over from JFK, watch out golf freeway.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Is it time for our wreck?

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Northbound at the south Loop, yep, it's happened there the
usual spot, the ramp that takes you over toward I
still want to say astra wirl bomb NRG going that way,
I got let's see, let's check the north side. I
believe this is Mark from Spring forty five, or let's
get downtown Mark, dude.

Speaker 19 (37:37):
Gon Mark eight southbound at the north end of that,
there is a pick up in the right lane that's
got his hazard lots on him.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
South you're talking about the canyon right before southwest. Let
me zoom that and see what we've got at the
next break forty five north Gerald, Conroe Sky.

Speaker 19 (37:55):
No traffic from Conrad all the way to Greens Point.
Would you see me the highway, get your take out
of my way.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Night Gerald from Conrad.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
That's been interesting, and we would be back at the
six o'clock news report Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot
Com traffic Center.

Speaker 18 (38:11):
That was dog gone good. I know, I like that.
It was really good, Gerald, I like it. Well done, sir.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Four more years, all right, Donald John Trump? What happens next?

Speaker 18 (39:09):
Who knows what happens next?

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Happens a year on Youth Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 18 (39:15):
Okay five p. Fifty two.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
So Democratic Representative Sarah Tim McBride from Delaware, as you recall,
was called mister by Representative self, the chair of the subcommittee.
He responded by telling calling self madam and thinking that
was a score, not a score, because it was absurd
to call a male a female, which is exactly why
Self wouldn't call him a male a female. Well, little

(39:40):
press conference was thrown by McBride and some of his
supporters in which he tried to go with this line.

Speaker 25 (39:47):
We will not take a lecture on decorum from a
party that incited an insurrection.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Not one single person in Washington, DC or anywhere else
was ever ever charged with an insurrection ever. But they
really love their talking points, don't they.

Speaker 25 (40:05):
I appear to live rent free in the minds of
some of my Republican colleagues. I wish that they would
spend even a fraction of the time that they spend
thinking about me.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
No one thinks about you, ever, You don't live rent
free inside their heads. You live rent free in front
of their eyes. When they see a guy walking in
wearing a wig and lipstick and pretending to be a female,
that's when you live in their heads or in there.
It's just in front of their eyes. Nobody is thinking
about you. You are far, far too self important. And

(40:39):
that is to say you're not important at all.

Speaker 25 (40:41):
About how to lower the costs for American families. I
wish they would spend a fraction of the time that
they spend thinking about me.

Speaker 18 (40:49):
No one thinks about you ever. Stop saying that.

Speaker 25 (40:53):
Figuring out how to make government actually work better rather
than making it work worse, in.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Order to really deep insights heather on how to make
government work, make it work better.

Speaker 18 (41:02):
I can see why you were elected.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
It had nothing to do with your political identification. It
had nothing to do with identity politics and those two
things are slightly different, did it, tim.

Speaker 25 (41:13):
But to prove that government can't work.

Speaker 18 (41:15):
Make government work better? And I like women's underwear.

Speaker 25 (41:19):
They are obsessed with culture war issues. The Republican Party
is obsessed with culture war issues.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Now, that's because culture extends down to our children. And
our children don't need to be asking their teachers should
I wear boys clothes or girls clothes? Because I see
one of my elected representatives wearing girls clothes, but he's
a boy. That's why culture war issues matter. Our children
need to understand scientific, biological realities, and they need to

(41:50):
call mental disorders out for what they are. When they
are mental disorders. You have a mental disorder, sir. That
is not something we want to pass on to kids.
That's why culture wars matter to us.

Speaker 25 (42:00):
Weird and it is bizarre.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
You're calling someone else weird and bizarre while you're wearing a.

Speaker 25 (42:05):
Bra and the American people deserve serious legislators.

Speaker 18 (42:11):
You're calling yourself serious while you are wearing mascara and.

Speaker 25 (42:16):
Lipstick serious elected officials.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
You're calling yourself a serious elected official while you're wearing
two inch pumps who.

Speaker 25 (42:25):
Are focused on bringing people together to deliver real results
for the American people.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
I just would like to thank Representative Keith self for
pointing out the insanity and the absurdity of the entire
Tim Sarah McBride experience.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
It's five fifty six. It's radio so I'm forty ktr H.

He's it.

Speaker 20 (43:45):
Currently all length are shutdown just Southton.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
All right, that's that's looking pretty ugly southbound one six

the road on one forty six in Baytown, right just
this side of Massey Tompkins.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Bob, it's over limelight. Somebody let me know what's happening there.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
And you're forecast today looking very bright and clear, Uh, sunny,
sky's for eighty four for a high tonight. Maybe a
little bit of rain is going to be spotty and
here and there, nothing to be really worried about. Overnight
down to about sixty seven, then back up into the
mid eighties for your Saturday. We'll give you the rest
of the weekend into the next excuse me, we'll give

He's Radio seven forty ktr H Cliff Saunders. It's time
for the news.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Thank you very much, Bob.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
At six SO two, we are sponsored by Isopharmic LLC
our top story. Senate Democrats will not close the government
down tonight. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer caves on that battle front,
but make no mistake, he's still planning to obstruct the
Trump agenda.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
Democrats will continue to fight what Donald Trump is doing.
Everything that Trump, Musk and Republicans have done so far
has a clear goal. Cutting taxes for billionaires, eviscerates social Security, Medicare,
and Medicaid.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
Trump has said on numerous occasions he would not touch
social Security. Schumer also claimed that quote nobody wanted to
shut down more than the president. Though this triggered the
left and they're still coming after everything Trump and everything
doze good goes.

Speaker 18 (45:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
That was a protest at in New York City Tesla Dealership,
hours after another protest at Trump Tower where hundreds stormed
the lobby and YPD arrested ninety eight people. Those rioters
were in support of the anti Israel agitator Mahmud Khalil,
who was a wrested by Ice last week. Vice President

(46:02):
JD Vance tells Fox the protesters are out of line.

Speaker 7 (46:06):
A green cart holder, even if I might like that
green cart holder, doesn't have an indefinite right to be
in the United States of.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
America, and there is this Khalil wants a federal core
to block Columbia University from sharing student disciplinary records from
campus riots six poh three on KTRH. The President is
not backing off on tariffs. As the G seven continues
in Canada, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says it's about putting
America first.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
We've got strategic industries we've got to have.

Speaker 40 (46:35):
We want to protect the American worker that a lot
of these trade deals haven't been fair.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
By the way.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will speak at the G
seven later this morning.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Dow futures are up.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
Two hundred and fifty six points after another down day
on Wall Street. That's the S and P five hundred
closed in quote correction territory. You know, the left only
started noticing how bad the economy was at the end
of Joe Biden's presidency. Now they're trying to scare us
into a recession.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
The economy was already fragile.

Speaker 10 (47:07):
We may go into recession, we may not, but that
wouldn't be on the back of Trump. That would be
more on the back of what Biden was doing as
Trump just entered office.

Speaker 5 (47:14):
Economist doctor Vanskin says, if we do see a recession,
it'll be because the mainstream media and their fear mongering,
not because of Trump policy. Six l four Russia's Vladimir
Putin agreeing in principle with a potential ceasefire with Ukraine,
but says more talks are needed for a longer lasting piece.
That's not enough though for President Trump.

Speaker 8 (47:36):
He put out a very promising statement, but it wasn't complete.
And yeah, I'd love to meet with him or talk
to him, but we have to get it over with fast.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
Ukraine agreed to a thirty day ceasefire earlier this week,
with peace in Europe now possible. The left has resorted
to calling Trump Putin's puppet, but the American thinkers Andrea
Widberg says we already had one and.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
It wasn't Trump.

Speaker 13 (48:01):
M Walter wrote a wonderful post about Obama's record of
really literally bowing down before Putin. For the entirety of
his administration, he was courting Putin.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
It's now six ZHO five here at home.

Speaker 5 (48:16):
The odds are not very good for casinos or online
sports betting to become legal in Texas. The issue is
that is so far on down the list, from the
economy to the border, to education, crime, FISCO matters, all
that stuff takes priority of this.

Speaker 29 (48:31):
So I think that there, while people might have.

Speaker 34 (48:33):
A preference, I don't think there's a lot of people
that really have much energy behind that.

Derek Cohen with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says the

Speaker 5 (48:45):
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick's second list of legislative priorities is
now out. It includes school choice and property taxes, nothing
about casinos, nothing about online sports betting. And here in
our area, a flood of reaction after a Harris County
map showed that flood prevention projects were completed when they

(49:05):
actually weren't.

Speaker 12 (49:07):
Bob Rehack runs the site reduced Flooding dot Com.

Speaker 15 (49:11):
When I saw this, I couldn't understand it, and I
contacted the Flood Control District.

Speaker 12 (49:16):
And we contacted the Harris County Flood District as well.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
We've already updated the map to provide more clarity.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
We certainly want to make sure that we're being.

Speaker 13 (49:25):
As consistent and transparent as we can.

Speaker 12 (49:28):
That's Emily Whedell, chief External affairs officer, who says the

Speaker 2 (50:10):
All right, seven minutes after six o'clock. Good Friday to you,
fourteenth morning, third month. You're of our Lord twenty twenty five.
Bob Frand sitting in for Jimmy Barrett once again. And
no deal, kind of sorta no deal with respect to
the ceasefire in Ukraine, but maybe a deal. Russian President
Vladimir Putin said yesterday that Moscow still had unspecified conditions

(50:32):
that needed to be met. Before it could agree to
a ceasefire with Ukraine, but claimed to be open to
the deal. We need quote, we need to talk to
our American colleagues and partners about this. Maybe call President
Trump and discuss it with him, he said, adding any
temporary truth should be tied to a broader deal that
addresses the causes of the crisis. Later that day, yesterday,

(50:53):
Putin met with US Special ENVOYE. Steve Whitkoff, who presented
him with a seasefire proposal that emerged following their talks
with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia back on Tuesday. Meanwhile,
the Russian military claim Thursday to have retaken most of Kursk,
which is a Russian region where Ukrainian forces had controlled
pockets of territory since launching a surprise offensive in August.

(51:15):
So nothing really firm yet, but at least the talks
are going on. President Trump made it one of his
most important points to bring peace to these regions of
the world.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
War war is going on right now.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
That involve Americans, and not necessarily American soldiers yet, but
American dollars certainly, and in Eastern Europe. That is something
that the President pledge took cut off, and that is
this massive amount of aid that we keep sending the
Ukraine to fund a war with no discernible outcome, no
definable victory path. And so therefore we need to just

(51:47):
end this war without naming winners and losers. Let's end it,
Let's negotiate it into it. And it's something that he
is working very very hard on. So Ukraini has agreed
to it, Russia is still considering it, and that's where
that stands. President Trump also worried about the It's not
a civil war in the United States. It's kind of
an inter branch war. The United States is supposed to

(52:09):
be operated by a three branch system of government, three separate,
co equal branches of government, the keyword, of course, being
co equal.

Speaker 18 (52:21):
The executive is not supposed to overrule the legislative.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Legislative not the judiciary, and the judiciary not the executive
in any other direction that those things might go. Yet
we are watching federal judges make decisions that usurp the
authority of the President of the United States, all from
their little district courtrooms, and the Trump administration and the
White House have had just about enough of it. And
they're going to ask the Supreme Court to stop these

(52:45):
district judges from governing the entire nation from their own courtrooms.
And that's what's happening because more and more cases are
being brought by left wing Democrats to judges that they
judge shop for in districts where they know they'll have
a favorable outcome in order to hamstring President Trump's agenda,
which he won on. Remember, not one of these judges

(53:07):
was ever elected. These judges are appointed. President Trump was
elected by a majority of the United States voters, the
United States American citizens, and they should have their president
doing what they asked him to do, rather than these
judges getting in the way. We're gonna talk more about
that as we go. All right, six to ten. Now,
let's move to Traffick and weather and see what's happening

(53:27):
out there.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Skoy All right, Jennifer wants me to look at her
Twitter here. Let's see what do you got? You got one?

way around that. We've got the wreck on the Golf
Freeway northbound at the South Loop that we have every morning.

(54:03):
Everybody's okay, it's messing up that ramp northbound. Not a

Speaker 18 (57:59):
Right what's a nuisance nuisance? Crime that's the.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Question Houston COUNTY Da shawnteriras announced the creation of A
Mental health And Division bureau and they are not going
to prosecute nuisance criminal cases to mental health service. Providers
so are they going to refer them to the mental
health service? Providers what does that all look? Like joining
us now is Retired Houston Police Captain Greg.

Speaker 21 (58:21):
Freeman greg good, Morning Hey, bob good, morning and thanks
for having.

Speaker 18 (58:25):
Me, yeah good to have.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
YOU i appreciate. It, so you, KNOW i can think
of what a nuisance. IS i can think a lot of,
nuisances BUT i think of. CRIMES i don't know IF
i put them in that. Category what's a nuisance?

Speaker 21 (58:34):
Crime, yeah that's a good, question and that would be
my greatest. Concern and, first let me just say THAT
i applauded THE da for wanting to do something creative
to try to lessen the burden of a criminal justice,
system because it is a burden. System can we do things?
Better and that's one thing is practitioners that we always
try to, see how can we do this? Better but
this is a very concerning issue when you start talking

(58:57):
about not prosecuting certain types of. Crimes AND i would
really like to know more about what is a nuisance.
CRIME i have my own definition of nuisance crimes and
these are crimes like criminal, mischiefs assault and, battery loud,
noise trust, passing doing other things under the disorderly conduct

(59:17):
statutes that you can go to jail for or get a.
Ticket So i'd like to know exactly what their actual
crimes are that they're. Targeting AND i know they mentioned
two of them in particular from the article THAT i,
read and that was criminal misschiff AND i believe, trespassing
And i've got concerns about.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
That how much more difficult does this look the job
of A houston police?

Speaker 23 (59:35):
Officer, well it.

Speaker 21 (59:37):
Does BECAUSE i, mean you've got offers that are out
there running and gunning twenty four to. Seven they're getting
these calls for all of these types of, crimes and
to no. Avail if they know that they're going to
be going out there getting a call for service for
someone trespassing on somebody's, property they go out there doing,
investigation making arrest and it's a legitimate crime and the guy.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Needs to go to.

Speaker 21 (59:58):
Jail the offender needs to go to jail for what
they would. Doing and the DA's aren't going to take
charges on this because it's considered a new suche crime
and they're going to refirm from mental health. Evaluation then
it's a total waste of time for law enforcement for
doing this right. Now so it's going to be very,
concerning And i'm sure the police departments are looking into
this well for what they're going to do if they implement.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
This let's talk about what that means going to jail
In Harris. County THE da called The Harris county jail
a humanitarian crisis and said that his office will lower
the jail population quote one way or another end.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Quote what does that?

Speaker 21 (01:00:29):
Mean, yeah that's those are very strong. Words AND i
understand what he's. Saying the jail is, overpopulated and it,
is and it has been for quite some. Time AND
i don't know the actual population, count but we have
one of the largest county jails in The United. States
and lowering the county jail means you're going to Let
you're gonna let offenders, Out you're going.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
To get them out.

Speaker 21 (01:00:49):
Earlier they're going to start cutting a lot more plea
deals in court instead of sending people a county jail
or state jail. Peenonies and that's very concerning at the
same time because now you're talking about releasing these offenders
back to the. Streets so there is a public safety
concern THAT i would echo on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
That would there be any concern that you have greg
of you, know individuals who may be more prime to
encounter a prone to encounter law, enforcement meaning troublemakers and
people who have MAYBE i have a record going to you,
know therapists and doctors and getting you, know diagnoses with
mental health, conditions thus preventing them from being prosecuted later
on when they decide to commit their next.

Speaker 21 (01:01:25):
Crime, absolutely and let Me i'll be very careful WHEN
i say. This there's a vast amount of criminals that
are out there that are suffering from some type of mental.
Illness we know, that but does that make, them you,
know totally absolve from any criminal. Activity they are competent
to stand, trial they know right from. Wrong but when
you start opening up that door and allowing inmates and

(01:01:47):
allowing offenders to go and get mental health therapy opposed
to criminal, prosecution it does create a very slippery slope
for further prosecutions later on, downline because they can always
pull that car saying, well you, KNOW i was under
mental health arrest at the time THAT, i you, know
went in there and committed an aggravated robbery or. CARJACKING
i didn't know WHAT i was doing at the. Time,

(01:02:08):
yeah that ends up a very slippery.

Speaker 18 (01:02:10):
Slope it. DOES i get.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
That and this is In, texas BUT i just want
to get your commentary on, it because In, illinois three
lawmakers have co sponsored a bill that would remove the
charge of aggravated battery from individuals who attack cops if
they have a mental health. Diagnosis it's going to, send
according to, some it's going to send the course of
these people you, know running To LIKE i, said, too

(01:02:32):
psychiatrists and doctors getting a diagnosis so that if they
beat up a, cop they can't be held liable for
they're least prosecuted on the battery.

Speaker 21 (01:02:38):
CHARGE i read, that and that's one of the most
insane policy acts or recommendations for a legislation That i've
ever read. Before and The democratic lawmaker is such a
woke individual and far left that is anti police that wrote.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
That so that's.

Speaker 21 (01:02:56):
Crazy that's that's very concerning for public safety when you
start doing, that and that incentivizes criminals out there to
attack the police when you start when you start encouraging
laws like that to be written on the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Books, yeah and police officers aren't going to take those attacks.
Lightly they're going to defend themselves and that's not going
to go well for. Anybody AND i don't know if
they realize that.

Speaker 21 (01:03:17):
Absolutely and let me just say, this at the end
of the, day when someone picks up the phone and
Calls non one one because the menace is coming your
way and there's a, threat it's the men and women
that were in the uniforms are going there that stand
in between goodness and evil and they are the. Protectors
and that's what people need to understand and most Most
americans do understand. That but you still have a small
percentage that could care less one way or the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):

President advance To secretary Of State Marco rubio talking about
how it is indeed possible to deport somebody based solely
on these. Activities, well let's Add Texas Senator Ted kruz's.

Speaker 43 (01:13:03):
Name to that list and what Happened Mahmoud, khalil who
is From. Syria he came to The United. States my
understanding is in two thousand and twenty. Two he came
to be a student At. Columbia he married a woman
from The United. States he got a green, Card so
twenty twenty two is three years.

JUDGE Nonsense Us District judge William i'll sup yesterday ordered
the federal government to rehire potentially tens of thousands of
probationary employees whose jobs have been terminated by mass fire
rings in, recent weeks all PART. Of doge the layoffs
were directed By the Office Of, personnel management which also
said did not have the authority to order such. An
action the judge mandated That the Department Of, Veterans, Affairs, Agriculture, Defense,

(01:20:13):
energy Interior and treasury offered to reinstate the employees. Fired
Honor around february thirteenth. And fourteen the OPM's, Acting Director,
charles easel did not appear in court to testify in
defense of the. Administration's Actions But president trump And The,
white house they're defending, their actions and they're really sick
and tired of what is being. Done Here the trump
administration is Asking The supreme court now to curb the

(01:20:38):
power of these federal district judges because they're issuing nationwide
injunctions from their own little district courts That blocked, trump's
policies including his Targeting The, excuse me specifically Targeting his
january twenty eighth executive order to end birthright citizenship for
children of. Illegal immigrants it was authored Authored By laife

(01:20:59):
LeMay You the Peace Or. Excuse me the story Details
How Solicitor General Elizabeth elizabeth harris urged the justices From
The white house to limit these, universal injunctions arguing they
allow a single judge to govern the entire nation from,
the courtroom a practice the administration. Calls overreach the appeal

(01:21:20):
follows a three federal Judges In, Washington, state Massachusetts and
maryland issuing such Injunctions, in February prompting trump's team to
secretly from what they call unprecedented judicial interference in his.
Immigration agenda and the language gets a little bit stronger
about what. They're doing this sharp rising. Universal injunction injunction

(01:21:41):
stops the executive branch from carrying out What the american
people told him to. Carry out he ran on all of.
These policies we're not just talking about. Immigration policies we're
talking about. Doge policies we're talking about. Spending policies we're
talking about stopping the Wasting of american taxpayer dollars by
the billions and hundreds of billions THROUGH the uscid program

(01:22:03):
that everybody has.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Talked about there are.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Individual judges trying to stop the executive branch from doing
what the. People asked and that's a problem because nobody
voted for any one of. These judges they did vote
For the president Of The. United States the court should
Stay The district court's preliminary injunctions except as to the
individual plaintiffs and the identified members of the, organizational plaintiffs

(01:22:27):
and If the court concludes that states are proper litigants
as to individuals who were born or reside In, the
states the filing continues on the birthright. Citizenship thing at,
a Minimum the court should stay the injunctions to the
extent that they prohibit agencies from developing and issuing public
guidance regarding the implementation of. The order and that's a
lot of legal ease that basically Says the court should
limit itself and restrict itself to its own, district limitations

(01:22:51):
not making. Nationwide injunctions this is just one of dozens
and dozens of lawsuits filed by a left, wing plaintiffs
usually governors or blue state district, district attorneys to try
to Stop the, trump agenda and they're judge shopping while they.
Do it they're going into the bluest of courtrooms with the,

(01:23:12):
You know obama appointed Judges or biden appointed judges doing
everything they can to Stop the. Trump, administration so in,
other words what they couldn't get done at the, ballot
box they're trying to do in the. Federal courtrooms and
it's got. To Stop The supreme court does need to
step in and they need to find their, their medal if,
you will because we can't have them doing what they've

(01:32:57):
to speed up the removal. Of Foreign criminals president trump
is set to invoke this to. Facilitate these deportations he
vowed to take such action on the campaign trail and
after he is. Elected last year now it appears the
plan is being. Set in motion during his, Second Inaugural
address president trump declared that quote By Invoking The alien

(01:33:19):
enemies act of, SEVENTEEN ninety eight i will direct our
government to use the full and immense power of federal
and state law enforcement to eliminate the presidence of all
foreign gangs and criminal networks bringing DEVASTATING crime, to us
soil including our cities. And, Inner cities now i'm going
to stop there and, say, the obvious right who could?

(01:33:41):
Possibly oppose that wouldn't? That be something if There's ever
anything and we say this about a, number of things
but if there's ever anything that there shouldn't be any
opposition to this?

Speaker 22 (01:33:52):
Might?

Speaker 18 (01:33:52):
Be It right what democrat Could Even oppose donald?

Speaker 3 (01:33:55):
Trump?

Speaker 2 (01:33:55):
On this oh what wishful. Thinking, that is However of
course democrats are suggesting that this is. Still racially motivated
it is black and brown people who are primarily going
to be, targeted by this regardless of their quote. Unquote
criminal status it is all about their immutable characteristics so
that they can Try To Paint trump president trump as

(01:34:16):
being insensitive or uncaring about these individuals going back to
other countries that are going to be even, worse for
them and so on. And so forth so it's just
a it's quite a shame to be honest that they.
Can't just gain we can't all join arms once in.
A blue Moon It's what president trump Said At the Joint,
session of congress The quote unquote State Of the union address.
Two weeks, ago he said watch these people down here

(01:34:38):
on This. Side of theay i'll watch. Them all. Night
watch them they, will not smile they. Will not clap
they will not stand FOR anything. That I say if
i announced the cure for the worst disease, in, the,
world cancer otherwise they would sit there because their entire
mission is to again Hate.

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
And stop trump and that.

Today john r lot is the President Of The Crime,
prevention research center and he says that concealed carriers do
a better job of stopping active shooters. Than cops do can?
You believe that let's find out? How And, why john,
Lock good morning how?

Speaker 3 (01:40:22):
Are you? Sir doing great thanks for having me on.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
Always a pleasure, Chatting with you john for the first
time out, of to today you're gonna hear us the.
Abrevia version here tell, us about this tell us about
this deep dive study You, conducted.

Speaker 29 (01:40:36):
RIGHT well the fbi puts together a list of what
they call. Active shooting cases these are instances where a gun's,
fired in public not part of some other type of
crime like a robbery or a gang fight, over drug
turf anything from one person being shot, at and missed
all the.

Speaker 18 (01:40:53):
Way up to a.

Speaker 29 (01:40:54):
Mass public shooting, and you know we've seen a lot
of POP shows on tv which show how a permit
holder supposedly behaves with something seeming. Always go wrong they shoot,
the wrong person guns taken, away from them they get
in the way, of the police they, Get killed themselves

(01:41:17):
and so we thought it'd be useful just to go
and see what the actual record.

Speaker 3 (01:41:21):
Is out there and what you find is.

Speaker 29 (01:41:24):
That permit holders actually stop these active shooting attacks about
fifty two percent, of the time compared to about forty five.
Percent for police and a lot, OF the differences i
think stem from the fact that the police are in uniform.

(01:41:44):
And readily identifiable so if you're one of these attackers
that's out there to try to go, and kill people
and you see a police officer, in the vicinity, you're
gonna wait maybe until the, police officer leaves or you'll
move to, a different target or if you're going to,
take out someone you're going to take out the. Police

(01:42:04):
officer first and what that means is that it's less
likely the police officer is going, to be nearby and
so it takes, longer for them on average to arrive
on the scene than it does for a concealed, carry
permit holder where the attacker doesn't know if somebody is
going to be around there or not until they actually start.
Doing the attack it also helps explain why police officers

(01:42:29):
are much more likely to end up being killed in
these situations than a concealed. Carry permit holder of the
one hundred and fifty times that police officers, stopped these
attacks twenty seven police officers were, actually killed there compared

(01:42:49):
to only two of the concealed carry permit holders who
were killed in when they were trying to, stop these
attacks and police were much more like. Dead being, wounded
so police at least, those in uniform have a much
more difficult job and we should thank them for the risks,

(01:43:10):
that they take but they have a much more difficult
job precisely because they're. So, easily identifiable yeah no.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
Question About It and john Arlot From The Crime, prevention
research center essentially what you're saying here is it might
behoove people to go ahead and get their concealed care
licenses and just, to you know just to make sure
you know that they have an opportunity when police, are
not around if they are more successful at stopping active
shootings can protect. Themselves and others that's that's not a

(01:43:39):
bad idea to avail Themselves Of their, second.

Speaker 3 (01:43:41):
AMENDMENT rights, right i.

Speaker 29 (01:43:45):
Mean there are other things that we looked at in
terms of whether bystanders are. Actually excidentally shot in the
case of concealed, care permit holders there was one case
where it is bystander was accidentally wounded of one hundred
and eighty cases that they, Stopped these attacks, and by

(01:44:08):
contrast police accidentally shot and. Killed four people two of
them were actually other police officers kind, of friendly fire
and two of. Them were civilians but you know, Another.

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
Stat HERE john, if I may If i made john
ANOTHER stature that i found interesting. In your, study you
know it's an often repeated line that if you, have
that gun it almost always ends up in the hands.
Of somebody else you're gonna end up getting shot with
your own gun because you're going.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
To lose it you didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
Find that here only zero point five six percent of
the cases did somebody have their. Gun, taken, away.

Speaker 29 (01:44:42):
Yeah exactly only one case did something.

Speaker 2 (01:44:45):
Like that happen so it kind of just proves one of,
those you know in the arguments that the gun, control side,
has you know saying if you have a gun for,
your own protection it's going to be used against. You
against you this is a pretty in depth study between
twenty seventeen and. Twenty twenty three the proves that's not,
the case, fourteen twenty, fourteen twenty fourteen and college.

Speaker 3 (01:45:04):
Twenty, Twenty three, right.

Speaker 29 (01:45:06):
BUT yeah no i mean it had one. Case for
civilians there are no cases of that occurring, for police
officers so police end up doing better in that, one
particular measure though obviously it was pretty. Insignificant both, Cases.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
Right on it's a really really in depth look at.
This whole thing we invite people to check it out

Schumer for it for folks who are concerned about, effectiveness
And government this republican extreme spending bill removes all of
the guardrails and all of the accountability measures to ensure
that money is being spent in The way that congress
has directed for it. To be spent this turns the
federal government into a Slush Fund for Donald Trump. And

(01:54:52):
elon musk it, sacrifices congressional authority and it, is deeply
partisan and, so to me it is Almost Thinkable why
senate democrats would vote to hand the few pieces of
leverage that we have away for free when we've been
sent Here to, protect Social, security protect Medicaid.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
AND protect medicare i love listening to people who don't
think telling us. Things are unthinkable just because you cannot
think doesn't mean they are not able to be thought by,
others who. Can Indeed think And Alexandria de massio cortes is.
Among that crowd literally everything she just. Said was false.
There are guardrails the problem with this spending, in this

(01:55:34):
COUNTRY the reason doge had to be created and had
to be tasked with finding all of our lost money
is because there, Were no guardrails no, guardrails at all
no codes put on payments so we know what, they
were for no origin of what agency, sent those payments
no tracking of where that money went and what it.

Speaker 18 (01:55:52):
Was used for all of those things.

Speaker 2 (01:55:53):
INDICATE no guardrails doge is demanding all, of this thing
all of this, spending be coded all of, it be
recorded all of it be show it's originator and also
where the money went and what it was done or was.

Speaker 3 (01:56:06):
Done with It that's.

Speaker 18 (01:56:07):
What dosh's doing.

Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
Those are guardrails and then, the long repeated entire talking
point of this is An Attempt for donald trump To attack, Everybody's,
social Security. Medicare and medicaid what a ridiculous idea and concept.
That would be what they are finding is massive, amounts,
of waste fraud And Abuse in Social, security and medicaid,
something in Medicare Something that nancy pelosi fifteen years.

happening now and now, they're, calling it well all of
the different things. They're calling it, but.

SEVEN forty seven a little follow up here on one
of the stories we had.

Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
For You yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:59:39):
Congressman keith self kind of got some people talking a
little bit when he introduced one of the Members of,
His Congressional subcommittee sarah tim McBride by.

Speaker 18 (01:59:49):
HIS biological set.

Speaker 39 (01:59:50):
I recognize The, representative from, Delaware mister, McBride.

Speaker 25 (01:59:56):
Thank You Madam Chair ranking member keating also wonder.

Speaker 2 (01:59:59):
That's that start of that exchange right there ended about
sixty seconds later with an adjournment of The Hearing As
ranking member keating freaked out over Self recognition Of tim
McBride sarah McBride as, a biological Male and afterwards ranking,
Or excuse me chairman, Self said this.

Speaker 39 (02:00:20):
I'm not even sure what all the. FUSS is, about
i mean he is allowed to. Live his, LIFE in
fact i spent twenty five years on active duty defending
his right to live his life. As HE chooses but
i don't have to participate.

Speaker 18 (02:00:34):
In his fantasy all of those he's.

Speaker 2 (02:00:36):
And his is apparently we're just Too Much for tim
sarah McBride, to Deal With because tim sarah called a
press conference, to say this we.

Speaker 25 (02:00:45):
Will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that.
Incited an insurrection there was.

Speaker 2 (02:00:50):
Never an insurrection not one single Person In the united
states was ever charged with An insurrection, ON january sixth.

Speaker 25 (02:00:59):
I appear to live rent free in the minds of
Some of. My, republican colleagues no.

Speaker 2 (02:01:04):
You don't live rent free. In their minds you live
rent free in front of their eyes when you walk in. Wearing,
women's clothing yes that is something that they are genuinely
interested in.

Speaker 3 (02:01:14):
AND concerned about i wish that.

Speaker 25 (02:01:17):
They would spend even a fraction of the time that
they spend.

Speaker 3 (02:01:20):
Thinking about me they spend no time. Thinking about you
you're not relevant.

Speaker 25 (02:01:25):
Thinking about how to lower The costs. FOR american families
i wish they would spend a fraction of the time
that they spend. Thinking, about me again that would be
zero figuring out how to make government, actually work better
rather than making it work worse in order to prove that.
Government can't work is that?

Speaker 2 (02:01:43):
Officially your policy, make government. BETTER not worse i can
see how.

Speaker 3 (02:01:48):
You got elected they are obsessed with.

Speaker 25 (02:01:51):
Culture War Issues the republican party is obsessed with. Culture
war issues here's a.

Speaker 2 (02:01:57):
Reason for that our culture is what makes. What we
are our culture is what makes this country the greatest
source for good in the history. Of human civilization and
when our culture is being challenged by people with mental
delusions and trying to convince the rest of us that
we have to accept those delusions and thus become, delusion
ourself ourselves. That's, a problem yes we are definitely concerned.

(02:02:17):
With our culture So Thank you tim sarah for clear
clarifying all of, that for us And thank you representative
self for bringing this. To our, attention all right now,
seven to fifty.

Speaker 18 (02:04:28):
Flooding dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:04:29):
An Interesting story harris county is adjusting the maps that
incorrectly showed flood prevention projects as complete when. They, are not,
Bob good, Morning good morning how are, You doing well thank,
you very much. Appreciate the time tell us what's wrong?

Speaker 3 (02:04:43):
With, these maps.

Speaker 15 (02:04:45):
Well they. Just aren't accurate. They're very misleading they show
many projects as ACTIVE and in pagra that are. Far
from construction.

Speaker 29 (02:05:02):
Some haven't even.

Speaker 15 (02:05:03):
Been started yet THERE was an abc expose earlier in
the week that showed a lot of projects they were
calling complete that. Hadn't even, started you know they were
years away from starting the fact is that there's a
huge funding shortfall in the county associated with the floodbund

(02:05:27):
that could be as much as.

Speaker 29 (02:05:29):
A billion dollars that's.

Speaker 5 (02:05:31):
A crazy amount that's, A. Crazy Amount Bob it's cliff
saunders here Also With a bob. France this morning. HERE'S
my question i know some of these projects that were
supposed to be. Completed not completed the map. Was very
confusing these go back. SIX years now I Know our
jeff biggs not only did he, talk to you he

(02:05:52):
talked to. The county itself they say they have updated
the map and that. Everything looks good can you confirm that.

Speaker 18 (02:06:00):
That is false.

Speaker 15 (02:06:03):
It's clear that many of the projects they're talking about.
Are inaccurately categorized let me give. You Some Examples The lake,
houston dam project which, was called complete hasn't. Even started
yet they just took that, off the map so they're

(02:06:24):
showing nothing on.

Speaker 29 (02:06:25):
That Right Now.

Speaker 15 (02:06:27):
The Taylor gully woodridge village project is. Not in construction
they're applying, for a grant so that's still years away from,
being in construction and they're calling that active. And in
progress they came with diversion, dis same way but they're
not even applying for a grant. On THAT One the
tc gestured Detention Based, on cyprus creek they're not even

(02:06:51):
going out for a bid on that until, the fourth
quarter but that's marked active and. Then In Progress The
champion forest Attention, basin at revenue there's still negotiating for the,
property on that so there's no guarantee that's going.

Speaker 3 (02:07:07):
To go forward.

Speaker 15 (02:07:09):
They don't provide enough context for readers to accurately understand
what's going on. With these projects they've been well, told
about that and they just.

Speaker 30 (02:07:21):
Leave the map up the.

Speaker 2 (02:07:22):
Way, it is well that's the reason we've got, You,
on here bob because we got to clarify these things
and let everybody know what the reality is about these
maps and where. These projects Are, bob re hack thank
you so much for the. Time this morning we, do
appreciate that and that is all the time that we.
