Speaker 1 (00:03):

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Live everywhere with the IRP.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Now the latest news, weather and traffic.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
It's more of what matters to you from the John
Morris Services Studios.

Speaker 5 (00:18):
Trump goes on offense at a town hall in Pennsylvania,
and there's what Kamala Harris said about her economic plan
and what she left out.

Speaker 6 (00:26):
Good morning, Bob Friends in for Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 5 (00:28):
This is your five o'clock report on HISWS Radio seven
forty k t R h Sheriff Fire has the news, trafficking, weather,
first Year's guy Mike.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
All Right, we've got your Katie Freeway with a problem.

Speaker 7 (00:38):
Now, this won't affect you unless you're trying to get
off and I don't know, go to Ikea or a
Chick fil A. But this is Katie Freeway and I'm
looking from silver it so it's ant one. This is outbound,
not inbound, and it's in the feeder road. Then nothing
good is happening here. I'm not sure if this is
just police activity, if they're having some kind of whatever
they're doing, or if this is a very serious accident.

(00:59):
But it's a complete block its it's been there since
two this morning. And if you stay on the mainlines,
you can get around that. You can't even really see it,
So don't worry about reverendacking. Now you're good to go.
From Katie Skymichael a Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
All right, and we got showers this morning and thunderstorms
this afternoon with a high about eighty two, a few
showers after midnight as well, low of seventy five. Will
the rain continue into Friday or the weekend. We'll let
Terry Smith address that. That'll be happening at five ten
right now, seventy nine degrees at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty KTRH. And now let's get the

(01:33):
early Thursday morning news. Hey Shriff, Hey Bob.

Speaker 8 (01:36):
It is now five oh one on news radio seven
forty KTRH, and our top story this hour, we're keeping
an eye here locally on a system it could cause
flooding issues in our coastal counties today and we're going
to have more on that with Terry Smith and the
Weather Channel in just a few minutes.

Speaker 9 (01:50):
But also topping our news, she.

Speaker 10 (01:53):
Was in charge of the border. It's the worst border
in the history of the world, not just here.

Speaker 8 (01:58):
Donald Trump and a News town hall last night solo.
He was talking about Kamala harris failures as borders are.
It was supposed to be a debate between Trump and
Harris that she refused to appear on on Fox. So
they will be debating next Tuesday on ABC and Kati
h will be carrying it live starting at seven pm

(02:19):
on air, online and on the iHeartRadio app. Trump also
reacting to Kamala's plan to increase the federal government's small
business tax deduction from five thousand to fifty thousand.

Speaker 9 (02:31):
Sound good, Well.

Speaker 10 (02:34):
This country will end up and I've said this a lot,
and I mean it, this country will end up in
a depression if she becomes president, like nineteen twenty nine.
This will be a nineteen twenty nine depression.

Speaker 9 (02:48):
It's all wallpaper, folks.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
Harris didn't say she will maybe give that higher deduction,
but she's going to jack up the business tax rate
by almost fifty to almost fifty and she's also allowing
the tax cuts to expire for all of us.

Speaker 9 (03:07):
It's now five to three. Biden.

Speaker 8 (03:09):
Harris DOJ says it's concerned about Russia. Russia and Iran
now too interfering with our election.

Speaker 11 (03:19):
I wasn't exactly blown away by his announcement regarding this
Russian operation to basically put out pro Russian messaging in
America and other countries. So it's not just the US
being targeted on this.

Speaker 8 (03:33):
It's not actually messing with the ballots like the government does.
Fox Legal analyst Kerry Urban's reaction. Attorney General Mary Garland
also claims there have been threats made against election workers. Yes,
only the Democrats. Apparently Garland said nothing about election fraud.
And as we told you yesterday, the Texas Attorney General

(03:54):
Ken Paxson has filed a lawsuit against Bear County here
San Antonio for their campaign that would lead could lead
very easily to illegal aliens being registered to vote, therefore
on the voter rolls that can then be used.

Speaker 9 (04:11):
It is now five oh four.

Speaker 12 (04:14):
I asked that you lift up Bearro County schools, lift
up Appalachi, lift up our agencies. This is going to
take multiple days for us to get answers as to
what happened and why this happened.

Speaker 8 (04:25):
That's Barrow County, Barrow, as he said, County Sheriff jud Smith.
Four people shot killed at Appalachi High School outside of Atlanta,
another nine wounded. A fourteen year old is in custody,
the FBI admitting that the teen had been on their
radar after an online school shooting threat that he made
a year ago. His father and he were both called

(04:46):
in for questioning, but nothing was done here at home.
The funeral for Harris County Preescinct four Corporal Meyer Hosseini
set for this afternoon. It will be held at Masajid
Al Salam and it is open to the public. The
man charged in the case, A Tier Muradi, is in
the Galveson County Jail. He was spotted by a city

(05:08):
marshal who was heading home from work.

Speaker 13 (05:12):
I just glanced over and there he was a vehicle
description exactly how they put it out on the radio,
exactly how they put in the system. I was just
there at the right place, the right time. It took
a lot of heroes to do what they did, and
they need the recognition.

Speaker 8 (05:26):
That Marshall was talking to our TV partner channel too.
Now Muradi's going to be moved to the Harris County
Jail and he will be facing murder charges.

Speaker 14 (05:34):
Well.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
There was a rest made in the carjacking murder of
the ninety year old Houston Navy veteran Nelson Beckett Khalil
Denzel Arsono has been charged with capital murder and three felonies.
By the way, he was out on bond for another
crime evading arrest when this shocking murder happened. Five six

(05:56):
is our time. American colleges are radical, and now there's
an alternative, small, but it can grow.

Speaker 9 (06:04):
It's the New.

Speaker 8 (06:05):
University of Austin in Austin, Texas, and it offers parents
and students something different. Back to a classical education.

Speaker 15 (06:15):
You need to support brands that don't hate you if
you're conservative, and I think that's especially true of education
as well.

Speaker 16 (06:22):
We got to make sure that we support the right.

Speaker 8 (06:24):
Schools, Yes, schools that will teach liberal arts and classical
search for knowledge. Christian Collins with the Texas Use Summa
told KTRH is a new school and it does have
a broad opportunity to succeed, beginning class one hundred students
a class of twenty twenty eight. We told you about

(06:45):
this this week that one third of all K through
twelve students are behind in their grade level.

Speaker 17 (06:53):
This doesn't surprise Amy Sasser. With innovative teachers of Texas.

Speaker 18 (06:57):
Sadly, from my point of view, I don't think it's
might as stunning as other people might think.

Speaker 17 (07:02):
That's because we locked kids down four years ago during COVID.

Speaker 18 (07:06):
Even when we went back to school online, it wasn't
the same thing. There wasn't the accountability, There wasn't the
testing to see where you are and what your particular
issues are.

Speaker 17 (07:16):
This was less of a problem in the South as
opposed to the Democrat dominated West and Northeast. Cliff Saunders,
News Radio seven forty KRH, Well, we.

Speaker 8 (07:25):
All want them, the new weight loss drugs. You know,
they could be a medical marvel or they might lead
to the next health crisis.

Speaker 19 (07:33):
Medications like ozempic are offering a solution to people who
have struggled to lose weight.

Speaker 20 (07:38):
A lot of growing research that shows that it prevents
and reduces the risk of dying from heart disease, cuts
down on cholesterol, and extends your life.

Speaker 19 (07:48):
KRH medical expert doctor Joe Glotti says it's important, though,
to not rely so heavily on the medication.

Speaker 20 (07:55):
At the root of the problem it is obesity through
excessive eating and not enough physical activity.

Speaker 19 (08:01):
Jar Lewis, News Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, Bob, that's the problem. The Stros lost to the
Reds twelve to five. Coverage of today's series finale begins
at eleven am on Sports Talk seven ninety. The Mariners
won last night too, so the Stros their lead in
the American League West now down to five and a
half games. I'm sure with Friar on news Radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 21 (08:25):
I will probably put my record against him.

Speaker 22 (08:28):
She's absolutely terrible your decision twenty twenty four headquarters is
used radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
Al right, eight minutes after five. Good morning.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
She would probably put her record against his, but she
wouldn't show up to debate him last night in Pennsylvania.
The Fox News debate was supposed to be last night,
as Sharon just pointed out, and Kamala Harris decided, I'm
not coming why the same reason she hasn't held a
press conference. She doesn't want to have to answer any
critical questions. I am still not convinced. Even though he
just had all of the promotion of all of the

(08:59):
coverage carrying the September tenth debate, Oliver ktrh on air,
online and through the app and everything else. I'm still
not convinced she's going to do it. We'll find out,
but she wants nothing to do with debating Donald Trump,
whether to be on friendly ground or not, Fox, ABC, NBC.
She is terrified of this whole thing. She did sixteen

(09:22):
minutes of answers to Dana Bash on friendly ground CNN
and still managed to embarrass herself. Imagine when she actually
gets before the country with Trump standing ten feet away
from her, however far apart they're going to put those podiums.
She does not want to do it. So Trump last
night did his own thing and had his one on
one with Sean Hannity and an audience full of voters

(09:45):
from Pennsylvania. We're going to give you a little bit
of that as we continue this morning, a little bit
of the highlights, a little bit of the maybe more
head scratching moments. But that's all he can do. That's
all he can do is continue to make his case
and answer questions. Answer him from the press, answer him
from the people, answer him from the voters, answer from friendlies,

(10:05):
and answer from foes. He's doing it all sociate events.
Tim Walls won't talk to anyone, literally, anyone. He was
at an event reporter shouted questions at him. He ignored
them and walked away in the same way that Kamla did.
So this is a very very interesting campaign the way
it's shaping up.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
He will let me insert this if I could. I
know we're out of time.

Speaker 8 (10:28):
Tom Homan Ice director under Donald Trump and will be
part of a Trump administration if Trump is allercted again.
He spoke to the downtown Houston Rotary Club yesterday. Very
interesting thing. So there are other Trump supporters who are
out making the case as well.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, and I love Tom Holman.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
He's a great guy and he will be a great asset,
whether it be ICE director or who knows, maybe even
homeland security.

Speaker 8 (10:52):
If Trump is talk about the largest deportation in world history, Yep.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
That's what there is. Talka Yeah, he did, and JD.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Vans has talked about it, and Bertie Morino, the Senate
candidate from Ohio I talked to yesterday, are still talking
about it and that is a huge part of the platform. Okay,
five ten, let's get five eleven. Now, let's get trafficking
weather going here. So welcome the job.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
We're looking at it.

Speaker 7 (11:14):
And Katie Freeway, all right, Nothing good's happening here at Antoine.
This is outbound, it's in the feeder. It is an
accident that's been there since two this morning, and my
friends at Houston trans Star put up a very nice
camera shot here three nineteen. If you're following along at home,
but it's outbound feeder, not affecting your inbound drive, you
look great. Grand Parkway twenty six minutes into the President's Heads,

(11:36):
Southwest Freeway rocking along now Brasis River northbound up into
downtown as we approached the weekend. You need to keep
your radio on KTRH because we'll follow that roadwork at
the Brasis River.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's a big project.

Speaker 7 (11:47):
It looks like they're going to do it in pieces here,
not two ninety up. If you had a grand march
at your wedding, you look good from Graham Parkway all
the way.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
And what's up with the toll bridgs?

Speaker 9 (11:56):
I got a brog in my throat now.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
I think it's roadwork. They were supposed to have that
picked up a couple of days ago, but I guess
it's taking a little longer. So we still southbound, just
one little skinny lane and the text talk wall of Death.
I will yield my time to the gentlewoman from Georgia
Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
All right, Terry Smith indeed has the forecast for us.

Speaker 23 (12:18):
Hey, Terry, Hey, Well, I am seeing some improvement in
the overall pattern, but there's really not much change today.
Some more showers and thunderstorms, and especially near the coast,
that area of low pressure just to the south of
US is not moving much today, so the bulk of
the heavy rain near the coast, some of it will
make its way up into the Houston metro area. We

(12:40):
still do have that floodwatch near the coast. As far
as temperatures go today, low to mid eighties, fifty percent
chants and more showers and storms tonight, to forty percent
chants of rain tomorrow, and then the sunshine finally shows up.
It's going to hang around all weekend long. We'll stay
sunny and dry and temperatures right on track or just
a little bit cooler into early next week.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
All right, Terry, thank you, And right now we have
seventy nine degrees at your official severe weather station is
Radio seven forty KTI h.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
It's Houston's Morning News brought to you by new South
Windows solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherah with the
info you need to take on the day.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
All right, it is nineteen minutes after five. Bob France
in for Jimmy. By the way, Good Thursday morning to you.
So we'll get back to the debate, not the debate,
the debate that was supposed to happen that turned into
a town hall last night. If Kamalin didn't want to
have any time to express her policy positions, then we'll
just give all of the time to President Trump the
way Hannity did last night.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
We'll just play a bunch of Trump cuts this morning.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
But we are also going to after we check traffic
and whether we are going to be talking about what
happened in Georgia yesterday and how bad it was, but
how much worse it could have been had it not
been for armed school officers. We'll talk about that in
the moment. It's five twenty. Let's do traffic and weather.
Here'scott Mike Katie Freeway. Nothing good's happening with the wreck
in front of Ikia. This is outbound at Antwins in

(14:02):
the feeder road though main lanes. You're good to go
Grand Parkway twenty six minutes into the President's Head's North Freeway.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
So far, so good.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
I have not turned on my little pocket radar, but
I'm hearing something about showers there.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Hey, I got Drake on the tip line.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Drake, Yeah, Mike, yo, Yo, what's really really wet down here?

Speaker 24 (14:20):
Fuddles all over the place. Be careful, don't forget to
watch out for those school buses to stop.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Running my red light. All right, not that, Drake.

Speaker 7 (14:27):
It's straight from Texas City, Banana stick her first one
of the morning. Tip line seven one three two one
two tips. I'm Skymike on the Generator Supercenter dot Com
traffic Center.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
All right, thank you, Mike, and rain today. Showers this morning,
thunderstorms this afternoon. Hus in the low eighties, few showers
after midnight two seventy five. Mostly cloudy Friday, but about
a forty percent chance of rain.

Speaker 2 (14:49):

Speaker 5 (14:50):
It drives out finally Saturday Sunday with sunny skies and
high temperatures in the upper eighties. Mostly sunny as well
on Monday, before the rains may start to return Tuesday.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
Right now seventy nine.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
It's your official severe weather station news Radio seven forty
kt RH.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
Let's hit the headlines now with Sharon Well.

Speaker 8 (15:08):
I should hit the headlines instead of looking at the
next newscast.

Speaker 9 (15:12):
Here we go.

Speaker 8 (15:13):
It is now five point twenty one on news radio
seven forty kt RH. Donald Trump has long opposed this
and now Biden Harris government, Well, now they're stealing another one.

Speaker 9 (15:24):
They're close to announcing.

Speaker 8 (15:26):
They say that they're going to block the US steal
acquisition by the Japanese. Okay, keep it here is what
Trump has been saying, Keep US steal in America. Donald Trump,
Kamala Harris. They did agree to rules for next week's debate.
It includes muted microphones, no notes, and presumably, as far
as I can understand, no live audience. If you're going

(15:51):
to the Turkey Day game UTA and M football revived
at Kyle Field, it's later this year, Thanksgiving weekend.

Speaker 9 (15:58):
It's not going to be cheap.

Speaker 8 (16:00):
The cheapest one on seat geek five hundred and forty
nine dollars for a single seat and you know where
that is. Get the latest news anytime at ktorh dot com.
Our next update will be at the bottom of the hour.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Ninety nine one ht two.

Speaker 22 (16:15):
It's US radio seven forty KGRH on FM Houston's US Weather,
Traffic and Talk at ninety nine one.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Htt yeah, I want to hit this now at five
point twenty two, real quick. The terrible shooting in the
school yesterday in Georgia. Obviously, four people are dead and
every single loss of life is horrific and tragic.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
Obviously nine people wounded.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Thoughts, prayers and support for those people and for their
families as well, but it could have been so much worse.
It's important to note that Cliff Sunders actually sent me
this because I didn't have it yesterday.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I was doing an afternoon.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
Radio show yesterday and Cliff sent me this clip of
the Georgia sheriff when we first found out how the
shooting situation in that Georgia school ended yes day.

Speaker 12 (17:01):
Obviously, the shooter was armed and our school resource officer
engaged him, and the shooter quickly realized that if he
did not give up, that it would end with an
ois an officer involved shooting. He gave up, got on
the ground, and the deputy took him into company.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
The fact that there was an armed officer on the
scene saved lives. Lord only knows how many and I
mean that quite literally, the old adage of one seconds count.
Police officers are minutes away. It's not their fault. They
can't be everywhere, but they sure as hell can be
in places like schools. The left is going crazy over this.
They are immediately turning this into go get the guns again.

(17:43):
After all, they're the Left, it's what they do. But
they are not talking for one second about the reality here,
and that is that countless numbers of lives were saved.
Because how did this shooting stand off end or not
stand off? How did this shooting end the same way
every single mass shooting ends when guns arrive. When guns
arrive to shoot back at the individual who is shooting people,

(18:05):
they either a get shot and die, or be shoot
themselves and die, or c run away and stop shooting people,
or d they surrender. They always end the same way
when guns arrive. So the question becomes, if we can
put armed officers in our banks to protect our money,

(18:26):
if we put armed officers in our courtrooms to protect
our judges and our lawyers, if we put armed officers
in our stadiums to protect our fans, which we do,
why in the hell is it so taboo to put
armed officers in every school to protect our children. It
shouldn't be that difficult that armed officer, that resource officer

(18:47):
saved lives because he was there in seconds when officers
outside of the school would have been there in minutes,
and in fact did get there in minutes. So it's
extraordinarily important to know that. And yeah, yeah, I'm going
to talk about it from the context of politics because
this is something you should hear. This was only four
years ago. This was Kamala Harris when she was running

(19:08):
for president, actually five because it was in the twenty
nineteen calendar year. For the twenty twenty presidential cycle, this
is what Kamala Harris said.

Speaker 21 (19:15):
Being incarcerated for a couple of days is traumatic, much
less the weeks, months, and years that we're.

Speaker 16 (19:20):
Seeing that happen.

Speaker 9 (19:21):
And so part of my plan is also a reduction
of that.

Speaker 21 (19:24):
And then also again what we need to do about
taking demilitarizing our schools and taking police officers out of schooling.
We need to deal with the reality and speak the
truth about the inequities around school discipline.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
These people are lunatics. They're more concerned with the inequities
of school discipline than actually having armed officers ready to
react in a moment's notice in the event that something
terrible like this happens. Of course, the number of schools
that actually are impacted by this is stillbsolutely minis school
less than one percent of all schools ever ever have
something like this happened. But when it does, the schools

(20:06):
that are ready are the schools that are going to
have more lives saved. So there's your backdrop for what
happened last night, yesterday afternoon. I guess I should say
in Appalachi, Georgia. Okay, five forty six. Now let's do
we're doing the Bloomberg Business Report. That's what we're doing.
Let's say good morning to John.

Speaker 25 (20:24):
Donager, Good morning, Bob. A big deal for Verizon. It
is agreed to buy rival Frontier Communications for twenty billion dollars.
It's an all cash deal which will help Verizon speed
up its plans to offer high speed internet service. Internet
usage of course growing with more people streaming and AI
on the Horizon. Verizon also gets parts of the landline

(20:46):
business it's sold to Frontier in California back Another deal
for now is on Hold, the owner of seven to
eleven Japan. Seven and I will tell the company that
owns the Circle K convenience chain, Canada's Kushtar that it's
offer for seven eleven isn't big enough. But there has
been speculation an iconicjacket Japanese company selling to a foreign
competitor wouldn't go over well, that apparently doesn't apply to

(21:09):
Japan's Nippon Steal buying an iconic US company US Steal.
A Japanese government official called President Biden's plans to block
Nippon's takeover of US Steal inappropriate. On Wall Street, small

Speaker 9 (23:04):
Our top story this hour.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
Our coastal counties could be hit with flooding rains today
at tropical low.

Speaker 9 (23:09):
It's just off our Texas coast.

Speaker 8 (23:11):
Terry Smith with the Weather Channel will have more details
in a few moments here on Houston's Morning News. Also
topping our news. While Texas is working to secure our
border California, guess what flying illegal aliens from San Diego
into the Lone Star State.

Speaker 28 (23:29):
Blue States have tried to open border policies and now
they're being forced on Texas.

Speaker 29 (23:33):
It's not working for them and they know it. But yeah,
a federal government fights Texas when we try to protect
Texans and actually all Americans.

Speaker 28 (23:42):
Maria Espinoza with the Remembrance Project says this is more
evidence that the Biden administration doesn't want the border closed.

Speaker 29 (23:48):
It's honous to the public that the federal government is
unwilling or unable to protect our borders.

Speaker 28 (23:55):
Espinosa says, the federal government is ignoring their constitutional duty
to protect Americans by doing this. Ethan Buchanan News Radio

Speaker 6 (29:20):
Okay, five thirty eight.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
So I wanted to give you a little bit from
President Trump in the town hall that he held last
night in lieu of the debate. But since Chery just
gave us a little bit of his running mate jd
Vance in the News, I figure I'll give you a
little bit more. Jd Vance was talking to Charlie Kirk
yesterday at an event in Arizona when it was brought
up the fact that Liz Cheney, who once described Kamala

(29:43):
Harris is a radical liberal, is now being endorsed. She
is endorsing the radical liberal Liz Cheney.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
JD.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
Vance had thoughts, this is a.

Speaker 30 (29:54):
Person, This is a person whose entire career has been
about sending other people's children off to fight and die
for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow
we're going to turn Afghanistan, a country that doesn't even
have running water in a lot of places, into a

(30:14):
thriving liberal democracy. And for that, Liz Chaney was willing
to kill thousands of your children. Liz Chaney, you know what,
I think, it's the best thing in the world that
she's supporting Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
You are right.

Speaker 30 (30:25):
Blessed are the peacemakers. Kamala Harris and Liz Chaney make
very very interesting partners. They get rich when America's sons
and daughters go off to die. They get rich when
America loses wars instead of winning wars, and they get
rich when America gets weaker in the world. We want
American strength, American security, and most importantly peace.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Let's bring peace back to the world.

Speaker 30 (30:48):
And Donald Trump is the candidate to do it.

Speaker 6 (30:50):
Kadie Vans has been absolutely killing it.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
He is taking on all comers, all questions, all interviewers,
and just hitting it out of the park. He's clear
in his message, he is concise, and he is absolutely
one hundred percent the person that Donald Trump needed. I
don't care what anybody says, I don't care what anybody criticizes.
And of course there are a lot of other great
ideas and great potential candidates, but jd. Vance has been

(31:13):
a phenomenal spokesman for make America Great Again and America
First and a perfect summary of.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Who Liz Cheney is. Right there.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Okay, five forty, let's do trafficking weather once again, sky Mike, Oh, I.

Speaker 9 (32:44):
Oh very nice.

Speaker 23 (32:45):
Well you have a real radar, Rock, I have a
real radar, Yes, in the real radar is showing a
lot of rain just as the south of us. The
bulk of the wet weather right now near the coast again,
and that's where we'll find the heaviest rain. Floodwatch still
at a fact, but those showers and thunderstorms could pop
up around here as well. You don't need to live
near the coast to get the wet weather. Sixty percent

(33:07):
chance of showers and some thunderstorms today, temperatures only load
of mid eighties today, forty percent chance of rain tomorrow
mid to upper eighties. And finally that low moves east
and the sunshine is back Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and
it's going to be quite comfortable over the weekend.

This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
All right, it is now five forty eight, So coming
up here after we each five forty nine, we'll check that.
Coming up after the traffic and weather, we're going to
get into well, the controversy. I didn't know it was
a controversy, but it is the number of weight loss
drugs that are out there on the market that are
just kind of sweeping the country. They're making America thin again.

(34:01):
Are they making America sick again? That's the question. There
is a controversy over the long term benefits versus risks
of these of these drugs. We're going to be talking
with doctor Joel Glotti in a few here because the
advent of the g l P one agonis I guess
they are called. That's the class of medications that have
been treated or excuse me, developed to treat type two diabetes,

(34:23):
but has since gained unprecedented popularity for their weight loss work.
Some are wondering whether or not it's the right thing
to do. So we're going to talk about it with
doctor Glotti coming up here in just a few minutes.
Right now, let's get to the traffic so we can
set the table for that. Hey, stay, Mike, let's see.

Speaker 7 (34:38):

Speaker 5 (36:19):
Now as promised, here, let's talk a little bit about
the weight loss fad. New weight loss medication might be
a medical marvel. Some are calling it at the next
health crisis for a variety of reasons. Doctor Joel Glotti's
joining us now KTRH Medical analyst.

Speaker 9 (36:33):
Doctor.

Speaker 20 (36:33):
Good morning, Bob, how are you this morning?

Speaker 5 (36:36):
We're doing wonderfully. Thank you, appreciate you spending some time
with us. So we can't turn on a TV without
seeing a commercial for one of these multiple weight loss drugs.
They're not supposed to be weight loss drugs. They're supposed
to be diabetes treatment, but they have been so successful
at dropping weight for so many people it has become
the craze. What is the potential harm here?

Speaker 20 (36:58):
Well, I there's a things here. When you look at
the sheer numbers, the hundreds of millions of people that
have obesity that is going to lead to diabetes, diabets
in its complications, heart disease, heart failure. What I see
is fatty liver and patients developing cirrhosis. You have to
look and say, we need some sort of a solution.

(37:20):
And these GLT one agonists have shown up on the
scene and they do work. You will lose fifteen to
twenty percent of your body weight, get your risk for
heart disease down. But the one thing that I see
while they do work, we are seeing patients that are
not learning the life skills, the behaviors that will support

(37:44):
a healthy lifestyle long term. So if they're off the drug,
that prescription runs out, they have a side effect, they're
back to gaining weight and they're in the same boat
like any new medicine or any new therapy long term,
what is the effect? And that's the pivotal point that
we're at right now. And I believe the basis for

(38:06):
the article and the discussion right now.

Speaker 8 (38:08):
I think maybe people who are on them right now
were part of the guinny pig expression of this because
long term drug studies depend on long term so we
don't really know what side effects may be.

Speaker 20 (38:22):
Well, you know, we do know already that there is
a chance of thyroid cancer, albeit on the low side,
and you have to weigh out the small risk of
developing thyroid cancer with the likelihood of having a fatal
heart attack or stroke. So again it's going to come
down to risk benefit. We do know that patients that

(38:44):
are on these medicines have a number of gi complaints nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation,
and so these are uncomfortable side effects that people may
have to stop the treatment on. But again, long term,
that's still a little bit of a black box when
you're looking five ten years into the future.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Doctor Claudie, I'm curious bigger picture, aside from just these
particular types of drugs. How do these things get approved
if they don't have long term studies. You know, we
all talked about the COVID shots, so hey, we didn't
have a long term study, and now we're starting to
find out what some of those long term effects are.
We're about three four years into this whole thing, right,
So you know they got emergency use authorization. How do

(39:26):
drugs like this get approved without knowing what those long
term impacts are?

Speaker 20 (39:31):
Well, every single medicine that the FDA approves is really
under constant scrutiny, where if we start seeing a certain
side effect, a complication, some sort of phenomena that we
don't see, of course these are all reported back to
the manufacture and then back to the FDA. And certainly

(39:51):
we've seen this with many many drugs where the indication
or the dosage may change, or a certain population shouldn't
be on these medications. So, while I believe the entire
COVID debacle caused a great deal of mistrust of the
medical profession, the FDA, the government rightfully, so in many

(40:12):
cases there is ongoing observation with these medications. Yes, we
cannot study a drug for twenty years and then say
let's approve it. We have to approve it with the
best data, the number of patients, look for these signals
and then proceed.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Forward with caution.

Speaker 20 (40:30):
And I think for everybody listening with any medicine, you
the consumer, the patient, you have to proceed with caution,
realizing that there is no panacea out there for any therapy,
including these GLP one agonist drugs.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
Well that's good advice, no question about it, because that's
exactly how a lot of people do see it.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
So caution is indeed educated.

Speaker 5 (40:51):
Doctor Joe Bondi KTRH Medical Analyst, Doctor, thank you appreciate it.

She could have made a change three years ago. She

turned it down. She will allegedly be debating him on
ABC next Tuesday. You'll hear it here on KTRH our
coverage seven pm on air, online, and the iHeartRadio app.
Harris says she plans to increase the federal government's small
business tax deduction, raising it from five thousand to fifty

(43:25):
thousand dollars as a deduction. But it's what she doesn't
talk about that should scare all of us even more.

Speaker 16 (43:32):
She wants to terminate them.

Speaker 10 (43:34):
If you do that, you will suffer the biggest tax
increase in history.

Christian Collins, founder of the Texas Youth Summit, says this
is a great way for conservatives to fight back in

a great thing because you can start crush and conservatives
have control over one thing where they spend their money.

They were found to be billing for positions that were
not listed. They even found employees there that could not
verify that these positions even existed.

Speaker 32 (48:51):
She adds that up to a dozen people could ultimately
be charged in this lay the scandal. Jeff Biggs, News
Radio seven forty kt ORH.

Speaker 8 (49:01):
That's how they work the scam. It is six oh seven.
The Strows lose to the Reds twelve to five. Today
is the series finale and it starts at eleven a m.
On Sports Talk seven to ninety. So the lead has
shrunk over Seattle now down to five and a half
games for the Stros. In first, I'm sherebf Fryar on
News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
The tools you need to take on the day, US
in the morning, weather and trapping. This is Houston's Morning
News with Jimmy Verrett and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 5 (49:32):
Well, the lead may have shrunk for the Stros, but
it's expanding a little bit for President Trump. Maybe eight
minutes after six o'clock in the morning, Bob France in
for Jimmy. According to the latest pulling from Democracy Institute,
former President Trump has opened up a three point national
lead over incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris and a five

(49:54):
point lead in the ten key battleground states. Who will
decide who becomes our next president? I don't know anything
about Democracy Institute. This is a bright part story, but
I like it and I'm gonna share it. Donald Trump
appears to be gaining serious momentum in the ten battleground states,
reports Daily Express US, who commissioned the poll. Data from
the Democracy Institute, shows the Republican presidential hopeful favored by

(50:16):
a five percentage point lead over Kamala Harris at fifty
to forty five. The battleground poll was taken August twenty
eighth and twenty ninth and surveyed one thousand likely voters
across well. Obviously all of the battleground states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin were counted. The

(50:37):
national poll surveyed twelve hundred likely voters over the same period.
So okay, So these are two different polls, battlegrounds and
national polls. So I'll take it. I'm looking for good
news wherever I can find it. Kamala of course skipped
the debate last night. She didn't have anything to say
to Donald Trump face to face, despite challenging him just
a month ago. If you've got something to say to me,

(50:57):
say it to my face. He showed up in pennsylvani
You last night, Tamla didn't. We'll see if she shows
up on the tenth. I think she's looking for a
way out. I don't know what it'll be, but then again,
nothing should surprise you after all. Share they rolled out
Russia Russia Gate hoax two point zero yesterday. I think
the best headline I saw was Russia hoax to electric Boogaloo.

Speaker 6 (51:21):
They're rolling it out again.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
Mayor Garland, the Attorney General yesterday essentially saying we are
watching Russia because we know Russia is trying to interfere
with the twenty twenty four election, just like they said
they did in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 8 (51:34):
So not by gathering ballots, not by using voting machines,
not by no no, no, no no, by putting out.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
Information, propaganda, propaganda, information as they call it now.

Speaker 6 (51:47):
No, they don't need Russia to do those things. They
do those themselves.

Speaker 8 (51:50):
Democracy Institute, by the way, think tank based in Washington, DC,
and London founded in two thousand and six. Basically is
they say that they're nonpartisan, but it sure sounds leftist
to me. So, yeah, that's that's pretty incredible.

Speaker 9 (52:06):
Take a three points.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
Yeah, it does say in the Brave Part article. By
the way, this poll is a bit of an outlier,
but not by much. Rasmussen has Trump up two nationally
and also up in the battleground states as well. The
latest Fox News poll has Trump up one. So you know,
right now we are Polls are everywhere, and we are
in kind of.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
A dead heat.

Speaker 5 (52:25):
I don't think we should put too terribly, terribly much
stock into them at this stage because we saw what
happened in twenty sixteen. Okay, six to eleven, let's do
traffag and weather two. See what's happening on the drive.

Speaker 7 (52:35):
Here's my work wife, Christina Cruz, found this problem on

Speaker 5 (56:53):
Now, as promised, last week's firing of Barbie Robinson, the
top health official in Harris County, is heading toward criminal investigation.
Let's find out more from Holly Hansen with the text
and Holly, good morning, Good.

Speaker 35 (57:05):
Morning, thanks for having me on the show this morning.
We learned yesterday some new information about Barbie Robinson, who,
as you mentioned, was fired last Friday. Apparently her firing
was also due to the fact that she accepted another position.
It's a consulting position with a county in California, but

(57:26):
apparently the rises above the level of a usual consulting
position in that it requires a lot of time and energy,
and she was good to be compensated about two hundred
thousand dollars for this job. She did not inform the
county and so there were a lot of questions about that.
Of course, everyone is wondering how this company Dema that

(57:47):
she worked with in California when she was with a
different county out there, how they got this contract, because
it does appear that they just barely beed out a
more experienced group, the Hair Center for Mental Health, that
had experience in going on these nine to one one
calls that may require mental health counseling services in this

(58:09):
kind of thing. So still a lot of questions going
on out there. But apparently Barbie Robinson had a number
of other things going on, and she supposedly told County
Administrator Deanna Ramirez that she had gotten permission from the
previous administrator to take on this, uh, these consulting positions

(58:31):
that require so much time and effort, but that did
not bear out when the current county administrator looked into it.

Speaker 8 (58:39):
Thank goodness that you're breaking this type of information, Holly,
because it's not something that's ever going to be offered
up by the administrators and the county government that has
been really at fault in all of this, bringing her
in from California, surpassing, you know, usurping basically a local
group that had experience, and then suddenly all these side dealings.

(59:02):
I mean, can we even use the word kickback? Does
it look like there's some sort of kickback collusion corruption
going on here?

Speaker 35 (59:11):
I think that's the question. And we did also learn
yesterday that the Harris County District Attorney's office launched an
investigation earlier this summer. As of June. They were looking
for information regarding the contracts, regarding communications between Barbie Robinson
and this company DIMA and some of the other staff

(59:32):
there at the Harris Public Health Center and st I
think we're going to be hearing more about this. I
would like to point out that Commissioner Tom Ramsay had
been voting against paying the invoices for this, but was
outvoted every time until this last Commissioner's squad meeting where
he finally got Adrian Garcina to join him in voting

(59:55):
down the payment to this company of about three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 8 (01:00:00):
Yeah, it just sounds like machine politics going on down
at our county and unless you can get somebody to
cross over somebody who's at risk of reelection, they've primaried
out our DA for people who don't realize that. So
technically this whole investigation may be dropped after the election.

Speaker 35 (01:00:21):
That could be because we've seen some hints from the
Democratic nominee for district Attorney to replace Kim Ogg that
he sees some of these investigations is merely political. But
it does seem like there's a lot of smoke around
this one.

Speaker 8 (01:00:38):
Kudos to you, and kudos to the Republican Tom Ramsey
for calling this out and at least getting a public
outcry so that some of this can be corrected.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
You bet well, Holly, thank you for the great update.
And for breaking this and covering this. We certainly appreciate
you bringing us to all of our listeners' attention. Holly Hansen,
reporter with the ten great work. Thank you, Holly.

Speaker 35 (01:01:02):

How much money to Disney plus an ESPN plus bring
the company? We have a better idea now because of
data leaked online by hackers this summer. Now, Disney told
investors in a regulatory filing it is looking into the
unauthorized release of more than a terabyte of data from
one of its systems. The Wall Street Journal reports. Disney
says it hasn't had a material impact on operations, but

(01:01:35):
the data suggests Disney Plus alone brought in almost two
and a half billion dollars in the winter quarter. That's
about forty three percent of the revenue Disney reports for
its direct to consumer entertainment business, Tesla planning to launch
its advanced driver assistance system. It's so called full service
driving in China and Europe early next year, so says
an official X account of Tesla AI, a signal the

But topping our news, the ongoing border disaster and the
Lone Star State certainly has been trying to keep illegal
aliens out of our state, but now the Biden Heroes
regime is flying these invaders from their sanctuary states, you know,
like California to Texas.

Speaker 9 (01:04:26):
I think they're mad.

Speaker 29 (01:04:28):
This is the chaos that has been allowed by the
Biden Paris administration. And that's why. Also you see so
many Democrats, not just Hispanics, but Democrats coming over to
the Republican Party.

Speaker 8 (01:04:40):
Yeah, Maria Espinoza with a remembrance project, she told KTRH.
In doing this, the federal government ignores its constitutional duty

You're now at a situation in San Francisco where if
you call the police, unless you're getting actively assaulted, they

Speaker 36 (01:05:42):
We are learning more about those six hostages that were
executed last week by Hamas. The Israeli military has released
video showing the tunnel entrance where the captives were held
underneath Rafa. The video shows the entrance inside of a
child's bedroom with paintings of Mickey Mouse and Snow. The
IDEAF says they've killed two hundred Hamas operatives in Rafa

(01:06:03):
in recent days.

Speaker 9 (01:06:05):
That was Trey Yngston, Tel Aviv. Six thirty four.

Speaker 8 (01:06:08):
Is our time lies from Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.
She went run into New Hampshire yesterday.

Speaker 21 (01:06:15):
We believe in the promise of America and that includes
a topic we're going to discuss today, which is what
I call an opportunity economy.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Building an opportunity.

Speaker 8 (01:06:26):
Economy lofty ideals. She ignores inflation that she ramped up.
It was her vote twenty twenty one Senate vote on
that monstrosity of a spending bill that they called the
American Rescue Plan. You know, inflation reduction didn't work. Looking
at our markets, Oil now down below seventy bucks a barrel.

(01:06:49):
Futures are up a bit after a mixed day yesterday.
On the Dow, it was up Tech heavy s and
P five hundred and NASAC both closed down again yesterday. Meantime,
Hunter Biden's federal tax evasion trial it begins today in
Los Angeles. Here's Fox's Kristin Gooden.

Speaker 37 (01:07:12):
Jury selection will begin in Hunter Biden's federal tax evasion
trial in Los Angeles. The fifty four year old accused
of failing to file and failure to pay one point
four million dollars in taxes between twenty sixteen and twenty nineteen,
and of filing a fraudulent tax return opening statements or
expected Monday. The President's son has pled not guilty, his
attorneys arguing he later paid all of the taxiode after

(01:07:34):
getting sober in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 8 (01:07:38):
Our news time now meantime, oh, I should add this
Hunter Biden's federal tax evasion trial. I said that our
news time now is six thirty five Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton suing the Biden Harris Department of Health and
Human Services over a law to unlawfully restrict Texas law
enforcement investigation into that federal agency. The rule was implemented

(01:08:02):
after the US Supreme Court returned abortion law to the
individual states and did that back in twenty twenty two.
A radical left wing group now trying to sue Texas
over our restrictions on ESG. This is environment social governance
from companies restricting how our money is used to be invested.

(01:08:27):
Controller Glenn Hager telling KTRH is just more about the
Green New Deal and renewable energy.

Speaker 14 (01:08:35):
I think at the end of the day, the state
will win this lawsuit. But really, to me, I just
wanted to make a strong statement that really they're just
hiding their own personal agenda, which is to try to
force companies to essentially do in the best interest of
what they want instead of their shareholders.

Speaker 8 (01:08:48):
It's Sentate Bill thirteen. It was passed in twenty twenty
one and it prevents Texas money from being invested in
companies that deliberately will not do any business with oil
and gas. You get that they push boycotting our industry.
August jobs numbers come out tomorrow July Jobs. We're only

(01:09:09):
seven point sixty seven million jobs added, lowest level in
almost four years. Younger workers too, they're worried about getting
stuck because the older boomer employees are not able to retire.
Workplace culture expert Joshua Evans says, just.

Speaker 9 (01:09:25):
Blame it on this regime's economy.

Speaker 34 (01:09:29):
Inflation has a huge impact on people wanting to continue
to work, to continue to save money so that they
can afford to retire with dignity. I do see this
increasing idea becoming a larger point of contention between younger
and older employee.

Speaker 8 (01:09:42):
He points out that older workers usually are paid more
and that's a financial burden on the companies and that
can lead to layoffs down the road. It is now

Speaker 5 (01:10:27):
Okay, eighty six thirty eight, Good morning to you, Bob
Franson for Jimmy. This is about the time we would
be talking about the debate last night.

Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
Let's cover the debate.

Speaker 5 (01:10:34):
Oh wait a minute, since Kamala Harris decided not to
show up for the debate on Fox last night, we'll
give all the time to Donald Trump. How about that?

Speaker 10 (01:10:41):
And she works for ABC and she's at the roundtable
talking about the debate, so I will have watched very closely.
But you're not allowed to do. We even have a
clause in the contract. You can't give him the questions.
But I probably I'm not sure it's.

Speaker 16 (01:10:56):
Going to help her that much.

Speaker 10 (01:10:57):
So I really I think you might give her the
questions and give her the answers with the questions.

Speaker 16 (01:11:03):
I'm not sure it's going to help her.

Speaker 5 (01:11:05):
I think he's right, he's talking about the debate that
is supposed to happen on September tenth on ABC, And he,
of course is referring back to twenty sixteen when questions
were slipped to Hillary Clinton. And you know, it's the
reality here. Even when you do tell her what's coming,
she still can't handle it. Look at what happened with
Dana Bash. Look at what happened in the not even

(01:11:26):
the debate, just a friendly interview with Dana Bash, the
one person she has sat down with. She still stumbled
all over herself. Still couldn't articulate a point when you
can't answer one question when you are a presidential candidate,
and that is what.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Will you do on day one?

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
And you say, well, well, on day one, we're going
to continue to look for ways to help people do
better with their personal Wait, wait a minute, that's not
a thing to do on day one. The thing to
do on day one is to sign an order saying
this is done, that is done, this is done, and
that is done.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
She couldn't even do that.

Speaker 5 (01:11:57):
So I don't think giving her the questions and the
answer would help her, especially if she's not allowed to
have notes or teleprompter on that debate stage on the tenth.

Speaker 9 (01:12:05):
Yeah, but she may have the list of questions beforehand.
We don't know. It's all going to be scripted for her.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
She does.

Speaker 8 (01:12:11):
There's not going to be a live audience. There's not
going to be any kind of electricity and atmosphere in
the room.

Speaker 6 (01:12:16):
That's a good thing.

Speaker 8 (01:12:17):
And then afterwards, afterwards, well, the media is going to
carry her water for just like they always do. They're
gonna gush, they're going to go crazy, and it's going
to be raw raw kamala, and they're going to try
to get her another boost and more momentum.

Speaker 9 (01:12:29):
Again, it's not.

Speaker 6 (01:12:30):
Going to do it. It makes it can't happen that way.

Speaker 9 (01:12:33):
But you're a thinking person.

Speaker 5 (01:12:35):
Well no, but I mean, I just think the fact
that it's going to be a quiet studio, it will
not be filled with racous people, and it will not
be Mike's on and she will be left to twist
in the wind, you know, is spinning her yarns and
spinning her salads and so forth, and the whole world.
It's like Joe Biden when he sat up there and
stood up there and stammered and slurred and there was
no saving him. That's how this is going to go

(01:12:56):
there will be no saving her. Even if you give
her the questions. I think Trump is right, she still
won't know how to give the answers. That's the reality
of it.

Speaker 16 (01:13:03):
Came.

Speaker 9 (01:13:04):
Sure, she's gonna have earbuds that we can't see.

Speaker 6 (01:13:06):
Now that's another story.

Speaker 5 (01:13:08):
There are a lot of different ways did she But
as far as the condition's being set, I can honestly
see her still trying to find a way to back
out of this one. She'll find some reason because this
is going to go poorly for her, as all of
the debates she had when she was in the primary
back in twenty nineteen. Did that's the reason she dropped
out before we even got to twenty twenty.

Speaker 9 (01:13:27):
Maybe we should have a bed on this.

Speaker 5 (01:13:29):
Well, you know what, I could use a good Texas steak.

Speaker 8 (01:13:32):
I think I had about the best hot dog I've
ever had the one time I was in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
We could work on that.

Speaker 6 (01:13:39):
You think we're talking.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
About her Southern accent and Bob friends.

Speaker 6 (01:13:43):
I don't have a Southern accent.

Speaker 14 (01:13:44):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
No, you think you think Kamalo will talk about her
Southern accent?

Speaker 9 (01:13:47):
No, No, she's going for the Swing States.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
All right, All right, let's trafficing weather. Here's me.

Speaker 7 (01:13:53):
You've got east Freeway outbound. We cleared the wreck at
the San Jacino River Bridge. Emergency responders did a great job. Uh,
but we still have a pretty big skunch on the
eastbound outbound lanes. We're backed up from the four Sheldon.
I don't want to say Dale Dell in front of
Terry outbound. That's an extra eighteen minutes that way, tollbridge suck,
it's still there, twelve extra minutes. Said, look at that

(01:14:14):
north Sam good grief eastbound.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
It looks like everybody's okay.

Speaker 7 (01:14:18):
This is a truck wreck at Ella eastbound, but that's
a backup from the toll plaza, and that's nineteen extra
minutes trying to get to Green's point. You're actually better
off taking either greens Road or two forty nine in
inside the belt. And then of course Alldean Westfield. We've
got that skunch with the roadwork. Watch out for other stations.
Listeners at al Dean Westfield tipline, let's check two ninety.

Twelve days of spinning it around and around NonStop.

but it's hugely scunched up now from before the veterans

Answer questions from a live arena audience, unscripted in a
hugely attended Pennsylvania town hall last night. Trump's lawyers are

(01:17:37):
moving to delay sentencing in that Manhattan trial. You know, Jemrshan,
the biased judge, is supposed to pronounce sentence on September eighteenth.
It's after that judge turned down the request himself, and
Trump's attorneys appealing that judge is Murshawan's ruling. You know,
he's the one whose daughter has made twelve million dollars

What does it mean for everybody here struggle?

Speaker 10 (01:18:33):
So I gave you the biggest tax cuts in the
history of our country.

Speaker 16 (01:18:36):
If you let.

Speaker 38 (01:18:37):
Them, if you let the Trump tax cuts expire, what
she wants to do, she wants to terminate them.

Speaker 16 (01:18:48):
If you do that, you.

Speaker 10 (01:18:49):
Will suffer the biggest tax increase in history. There's never
been a tax increase like it. On top of which
she wants to add a lot of tax This country
will end up and I've said this a lot, and
I mean his country will end up in a depression
if she becomes president, like nineteen twenty nine, This will
be a nineteen twenty nine depression.

Speaker 16 (01:19:11):
She has no idea. What the hell she's doing?

Speaker 10 (01:19:13):
What if unrealized capital gains taxes were implemented?

Speaker 5 (01:19:17):
I completely, I just absolutely love the matter of fact statements.
Just no pulling, no punches, there's no vinear, just straight up.
She doesn't know what the hell she's doing. He is
one hundred percent correct, and that is exactly what will
come out when they get on that debate stage, which
is why she has agreed to only one of the three.
Here's more, and we're gonna freeze on us right now,

(01:19:41):
aren't we. That's what the computer is going.

Speaker 9 (01:19:42):
To Don't you love these computers.

Speaker 6 (01:19:44):
I'll tell you why.

Speaker 9 (01:19:45):
It's not our mistakes. By the way, I want to
tell you audience.

Speaker 5 (01:19:48):
I can get queued up and loaded up and I
push play, and it's like, no, I think we're gonna.

Speaker 9 (01:19:52):
You have to be gentle when you punch the button.

Speaker 5 (01:19:55):
Oh my gosh, so frustrating. But I have more clips
here from President Trump from last night, and I think
I'm just gonna have to change browsers. This is happening
a little bit too frequently for me.

Speaker 20 (01:20:02):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:20:03):
I don't way, I don't want to get into browser.
But the bottom line is I was going to play
a little bit more of President Trump. When he was
talking last night at his town hall meeting, which substituted
for the debate about the fracking flip flop, President Trump
correctly stated, you've got to vote for me, even if
you don't like me, because she has said that she
is changing her policies, but she's not changing her values, which,

(01:20:24):
as you pointed out yesterdays share I think it was yesterday.
You know, that's her slippery way of getting away with
anything and everything she's telling the radical left that loves her.

Speaker 6 (01:20:33):
I'm still a radical leftist like you.

Speaker 5 (01:20:35):
Those are my values, but I'm going to change a
few policies here, at least out loud, so that I
can trick people into voting for me. The fracking is
one of the most obvious. She declared in twenty nineteen
she is one hundred percent for banning fracking. Then in
twenty twenty, on a debate stage for the vice presidency,
she said, by the way, Joe Biden will not ban
fracking now. In twenty twenty four, she says, I said

(01:20:56):
I didn't want to ban fracking in twenty twenty, No,
you didn't. What you're doing now is lying to get
Pennsylvania voters school.

Speaker 8 (01:21:02):
We're watching a very bad movie last night. This is
all Smoke and Mirrors is a very bad movie. It's
all talk. It's all scripted talk in her case, and
it's all about I'm somebody you can love because I
love you, and it's all about our community, and it's
all No, it's talk, it's not action. And I think
that there's a huge swath of the American public who

(01:21:25):
sees this.

Speaker 6 (01:21:25):
Now, Yeah, I completely agree.

Speaker 5 (01:21:27):
And by the way, she's on Twitter now telling people
welcome to the joy. She's literally on Twitter welcoming the
new supporters of Harris Walls to the joy. That's what
she's saying, Not to you know, a country whose economy
is going to improve, where inflation is going to go
down and gas prices are going to go down and
mortgage rates are going to go down. No, just welcome
to the joy. Oh my gosh. It is just so

(01:21:48):
communistic and it's propaganda. All right, six fifty five, Let's
do some capitalism. Let's yeah, kay, Terry. Each timeline contest

News Radio seven forty k t rh's news sponsored by
Choice Home and Commercial Top Story. This hour, we're keeping
an eye on that system that could cause some flooding
issues on our coastal counties today. Floodwatch underway. More with
Terry Smith on that. But our top story really if

(01:25:18):
you take a.

Speaker 10 (01:25:18):
Look at the numbers they're filling up and loading up
Social Security Medicare with illegal immigrants that have come into
our country.

Speaker 8 (01:25:25):
Well there goes the collapse of that. Donald Trump was
in a Fox Newstown hall last night with k t
rh's Sean Hannity hosting in front of a live audience
in Pennsylvania and what was supposed to be a debate
originally between Trump and Harris, but she refused to appear.
They will debate though next Tuesday in a controlled studio
on ABC. Kt RH will be carring it live starting

(01:25:47):
at seven pm on air, online and on the iHeartRadio app.
Trump made it clear that the reason he's running is
because the Biden Harris administration is so inept.

Speaker 10 (01:26:00):
I want to see what's good for the country, and
I would have been very happy.

Speaker 16 (01:26:02):
I have very nice places I could be. This is
not easy. I got shot at you know, I mean,
I got hit.

Speaker 9 (01:26:09):
He took a bullet.

Speaker 8 (01:26:10):
He bashed harris plans to jack up business tax rates
first by allowing the Trump tax cuts to expire and
then wait for the rest. It is now seven oh
three Biden, Harris DOJ is talking and wringing their hands
about Russia again, and they're adding in Iran is also
a threat to interference in our election.

Speaker 28 (01:26:35):
All of this activity was designed to funnel disinformation through
outlets and social media influencers that a certain number of
Americans find credible.

Speaker 8 (01:26:42):
Yeah, I'm not stand for that, Communication Director John Kirby
for the National Consecurity Apparatus. Biden's FBI director Christopher Ray
also coordinating, releasing a statement on x it simply said, look,
knock it off. He was basically be talking to Iran
and Russia. Meantime, nothing's being said about Democrat election fraud.

(01:27:06):
And as we told you yesterday, it's the Texas Attorney
General Ken Paxon who's filed suit against Bear County now
for its Democrat run campaign of registering voters without any
proof of citizenship or checking actual residency at the address,
just to get a bunch of addresses and names on
voter rolls.

Speaker 9 (01:27:25):
It is now seven to four.

Speaker 12 (01:27:28):
I asked that you lift up Bear County schools, lift
up Appalachi, lift up our agencies. This is going to
take multiple days for us to get answers as to
what happened and why this happened.

Speaker 8 (01:27:39):
That's the Georgia shooting and Barrow County Sheriff Judge Smith.
Four people shot murdered at Apalachi High School outside of Atlanta,
another nine wounded by a fourteen year old who the
FBI has had on its radar, actually interviewing him along
with his father last year after the thin thirteen year

(01:27:59):
old made online threats. It was the FEDS. The FBI
made threats about shooting up that school. Here at home,
the funeral for Harris County Preestinct for Corporal Housseini will
be held this afternoon at one forty five. It will
be at Mashid al Salam and is open to the public.
The suspect arrested in that case is a Tier Muradi

(01:28:22):
currently in Galveston County jail. Spotted by a city Marshall
who was going home from work.

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
I just glanced over and there he was.

Speaker 13 (01:28:35):
Vehicle description exactly how they put it out on the radio,
exactly how they put in the system.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
I was just there at the right place the right time.

Speaker 13 (01:28:41):
It took a lot of heroes to do what they did,
and they need a recognition.

Speaker 8 (01:28:45):
Yeah, that Marshall talking to our TV partner Channel two.
More evidence coming to light apparently that there was some
connection between these two, some knowledge of each other.

Speaker 9 (01:28:58):
It wasn't just random.

Speaker 8 (01:29:00):
Roddy is going to be moved to Harris County to
face murder charges. And there are charges now brought in
the carjacking murder of the ninety year old Houston Navy
veteran Nelson Beckett. Khalil Denzel Arsono is charged with capital
murder and three felonies. Out on bond by the way
for another crime. Seven h six is our time American

(01:29:22):
college radicalized. And now there's a new University of Austin
in Austin, Texas, which welcomed its first class this week,
offering parents and students something different, what they call common
sense education.

Speaker 15 (01:29:38):
You need to support brands that don't hate you if
you're conservative, and I think that's especially drue of education
as well. We got to make sure that we support
the right schools.

Speaker 8 (01:29:48):
Yeah, they're offering their class of one hundred people, free speech,
free asset asset access to education. Christian Collins with the
Texas Youth some of us who talked to us, he
told KG your aged, this type of new school does
really have a great opportunity to succeed. There are parents
and students crying out for it, repercussions of government lockdown

(01:30:11):
so failed education systems. We learned this week one third
of all K through twelve students are behind their grade level.

Speaker 17 (01:30:21):
This doesn't surprise Amy Sasser with innovative teachers of Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
Sadly, from my point of.

Speaker 18 (01:30:26):
View, I don't think it's quite as stunning as other
people might think.

Speaker 17 (01:30:30):
That's because we locked kids down four years ago during COVID.

Speaker 16 (01:30:33):
Even when we.

Speaker 18 (01:30:33):
Went back to school online, it wasn't the same thing.
There wasn't the accountability, There wasn't the testing to see
where you are and what your particular issues are.

Speaker 17 (01:30:43):
This was less of a problem in the South as
opposed to the Democrat dominated West and Northeast. Cliff Saunders,

It's now seven oh seven. The Astros lost to Cincinnati
twelve to five yesterday. Pregame to Day to finish up

West now down to five and a half games. I'm
sure for Friar on news Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (01:31:13):
What happened, Why it happened? Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar
explain it. Now back to Houston's morning news.

Speaker 5 (01:31:21):
All right, back indeed, and rebooting computers and trying to
get everything up and running for us here. So apologies
if things go a little bit glitchy here, but you
know how tech is. Sometimes it's the best friend you have,
sometimes it is your worst enemy.

Speaker 6 (01:31:35):
But we're gonna try to.

Speaker 5 (01:31:35):
Bring you some more of the town hall meeting that
was done last night in Harrisburg. Shay had some great
clips for you there during the newscast, and we'll get
some more for you as well. Tom Lahrris doesn't seem
to want to talk about anything at this moment in time,
but she has agreed, according to reports on the debate rules.
So Schera, you know, back to our little discussion about
whether or not there will be a debate, and how

(01:31:56):
she'll do and whether feeding her the questions and answers
will change anything for her, and so forth, we do
know this. Kamala Harris has agreed to the final rules
for the debate, allegedly following a few assurances granted her
by the network, according to Well, this is a Fox report.
But ABC News released the official rules for the debate
for Tuesday between Harrison Trump, including the highly contested rule

(01:32:21):
that microphones will be muted while a candidate is speaking.
The Harris campaign did not like that. They want Trump
to be able to interrupt her so that she can
give one of her standard I am speaking lines on
him and try to.

Speaker 6 (01:32:32):
Make herself look like a boss.

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
But Trump did indeed get the mix muted, which is important.
But according to Fox by way of CNN, CNN says
that Harris accepted the rules after receiving assurances that the
mikes could be turned back on during the debate at
the discretion of the moderators, and the moderators would explain
unheard exchanges. Fine print, Yeah, the moderators would explain unheard

(01:33:00):
exchanges to the television audience. The Harris campaign allegedly wrote
a letter to ABC News confirming that they will accept
under these circumstances. CNN said ABC News has offered assurances
the Harris campaign that if there is significant cross talk
between Harrison Trump, the network may choose to turn on
the mic so the public can understand what is happening.

(01:33:21):
The moderator would discourage either candidate from interrupting constantly, and
the moderator would also work to explain two viewers what
is being said. Their course familiar. Oh, we're going to
tell you what was just said. That's that's what they're saying.

Speaker 9 (01:33:36):
That's typical ABC.

Speaker 5 (01:33:38):
We're going to panda, An ABC spokesperson said, beyond the
debate rulds published today, which we're mutually agreed upon by
the two campaigns, we have made no other agreements. We
look forward to moderating the presidential debate next Tuesday. So
ABC spokesperson is denying what CNN is reporting, and what CNN.

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
Is reporting is what Fox is reporting. So we shall see.

Speaker 9 (01:34:01):
But well, let eat themselves alive.

Speaker 6 (01:34:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:34:04):
What we do know though, is that the mics will
be muted, which again I think is a great thing.
When you let her twist and have no interruptions, that
is the best way to expose her for what she is.
And that is just a shallow thinking bubblehead. And I'm
sorry to be so rude and crasp about it, but
there is no other way to describe it.

Speaker 9 (01:34:19):
I don't know why we call it a debate. It's
not a debate.

Speaker 6 (01:34:23):
No, it's really not.

Speaker 9 (01:34:24):
This is a TV performance.

Speaker 5 (01:34:25):
And everybody knows what President Trump's policies are. Anyway, President
Trump really needs to give her as much rope as
she needs. Just just let her do her own thing here.
Everybody knows where he stands. Let her twist, and I
think it'll be a phenomenal.

Speaker 8 (01:34:36):
Well if he's in the ring, though, he's got to fight,
you know, that's a sad thing.

Speaker 6 (01:34:39):
Well, of course, especially if she's going to attack.

Speaker 9 (01:34:41):
But they're going to make him look like a bully
every way, they.

Speaker 5 (01:34:44):
Can, no doubt about it. All right, seven eleven, let's
get into the car now with sky Mike.

Speaker 7 (01:34:49):
It's a little do some buysors here, Bob Frantz, we've
got you Katie Freeway inbound. The break start at Graham
Parkway and actually, if you're going southbound from like Morton
Ranch Road, you'll hit a pretty pretty good spackle trying
to get onto that ramp from Mason Road, Grand Parkway
into Barker Cypress.

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
Lose about six minutes here.

Speaker 7 (01:35:04):
West Park Tollway breaks at South Parker Cypress. Not bad
for the West Park two ninety A little two nine
eat upright oft huffmeister north Side.

Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
Let's do some just in from Jersey Village eighty Mike.

Speaker 24 (01:35:16):
After I got caught up in that mess on bell
Way eight.

Speaker 34 (01:35:20):
Now I can see forty five southbound coming out of
the Woodlands right after Airtech.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
There's an accident in the left lane. Oh watch out southbound.
You know what.

Speaker 7 (01:35:29):
Let me let the rest of the media not just
to make it fair. Two eighty eight. Jason from Alvin
did a nice job this morning. Got a lot of breaks,
McCart up to Orum the usual thing, and kind of
a skunch around Highway six.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
Is that more roadwork?

Speaker 7 (01:35:41):
I can't see that very well, so you let me
know on the tip line seven one three two one
two t Ips toll Bridge. We're down to ten minutes
on the southbound.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
They were supposed I know you were like this guy,
My god, I thought they finished that rode.

Speaker 7 (01:35:53):
They said that they would, but they still have that
one lane southbound. Uber Mike gave us a nice ride
to the airport on will Clayton Parkway, and he also
told Bob to check out something.

Speaker 24 (01:36:04):
If you haven't been to the hot dog shop in Warren, Ohio,

I'm in the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 5 (01:36:14):
Well, Warrenn is an east side situation. It's a far east,
far far east, as a matter of fact, out toward Youngstown.
So it's a good hour and a half in a Beaumont. Yeah,
well that that might be a little further.

Speaker 8 (01:36:28):
Maybe the bet should be against Texas sausage. I come
from sausage making country, sausage against.

Speaker 32 (01:36:37):
Don't tell you.

Speaker 5 (01:36:39):
Don't start talking about steaks and then sub in sausage.

Speaker 9 (01:36:42):
You don't know you've never had Texas sausage.

Speaker 5 (01:36:45):
I'm sure I have not, But I will tell you this.
I when you and you get wet, my appetite with
Texas cattle. I want my steak. That's all I want.
I still don't even know what the hell we're betting.
I don't even know what the terms would be. But
we got the steaks all laid out here, sausage and
hot dogs and steaks, but we don't even know what
the bet is. All right, Terismith, I bet we're gonna
get wet today.

Speaker 6 (01:37:05):
How about that?

Speaker 23 (01:37:06):
I think I think you're placing a safe bet there,
At least some of the folks listening to us, we'll.

Speaker 9 (01:37:11):
See some rain today.

Speaker 23 (01:37:13):
We've got a sixty percent chance of showers and thunderstorms

a good possibility again today, especially the closer you are
to the coast. That's where the bulk of the rain
has been. That's where our floodwatch is still in effect
because we've had so much rain, a lot of bit
eighties today, forty percent chance and more rain tomorrow and

Speaker 6 (01:39:42):
Okay seven twenty two.

Speaker 5 (01:39:44):
Bob Frantz in for Jimmy along with Shera and joined
now by Texas Comptroller Glenn he gerb and to share.
I'm gonna have to ask you to carry this one
a little bit here because I'm trying to figure out
exactly what this lawsuit over centin Pill thirteen is all
about with respect to ESG policy. So, first of all,
Controller Glenn Hegre thank you for the time. And second
of all, share take it away.

Speaker 8 (01:40:04):
Yeah, okay, Glenn, it's so great to have you here
with us.

Speaker 9 (01:40:07):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:40:07):
It was a sented bill basically saying, look, if you
are pushing against our bedrock industry of fossil fuels in
the state of Texas, we as a state are not
going to do business with you and your corporation.

Speaker 9 (01:40:21):
That's pretty much the way I understand it.

Speaker 14 (01:40:23):
So that pretty much sums it up.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
That's going to be with you again.

Speaker 14 (01:40:26):
The legislature several years ago asked me and my team
to come up with a list of those financially publicly
traded institutions that are quote unquote boycotting the fossil fuels
or the oil and gas industry. We keep several lists
those entities that are anti terrain, pro Iranian, anti Israel,
several different lists.

Speaker 2 (01:40:44):
And so this is another one that they'd asked us
to do.

Speaker 14 (01:40:46):
So after a lot of research, transparency, openness, we came
up with a process to identify those institutions that are
quote unquote boycotting the oil and gas industry. And if
you are, then essentially the State of Texas states money
that we've been trusted by you, the taxpayers for either
the pension system, public school lands, the investments that I have,

(01:41:06):
we're not going to do business with those companies. And
so now we've been sued saying that, oh, we've somehow
infringed upon their First Amendment rights and that this lass
this law is unconstitutional, which in reality, what it's about
is these left wing institutions and groups just essentially you're
upset because they're not able to bully their way with

(01:41:28):
their personal agenda rather than making sure companies do what
the fudiciary interest of who their shareholders, the people.

Speaker 2 (01:41:37):
That have investments in those companies.

Speaker 8 (01:41:40):
It's a sizeable investment too. How much money does the
state of Texas invest.

Speaker 14 (01:41:45):
Overall across all kinds of different investments, whether again, whether
it's in my office, the pension systems, the public school lands,
you name it. It's literally billions and billions and billions
of dollars. And what we've had over the course of
several years is you've had very left leaning states saying, oh,
you can't do business with the state unless you boycott the.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
Oil and gas.

Speaker 14 (01:42:06):
But the irony of all this is that every product
that we touch almost in our single daily lives. When
you wake up, I wake up, two of the first
things we touch is a toothbrush and a toothpaste. And
guess what both of those are made in part from
what the petroleum industry if you drive, if you drive
an electric vehicle, guess what over two thousand parts are
made of what petroleum industry? The batteries are sitting in

(01:42:27):
the container. So if they leak from what are they
protected from the petroleum industry? And so the point being
is I'm trying to bring an intellectually honest conversation about
what the petroleum industry means to our daily lives. And
one of the points I pointed out when I commented
is that the irony is the ink used to print
this frivolous lawsuit is made from the very industry that

(01:42:48):
they're trying to eliminate. I mean, you just can't, you
can't get past the irony in this.

Speaker 9 (01:42:53):
They call it ESG. It means Environmental Social governance.

Speaker 8 (01:42:57):
Okay, so it's the left trying to tell how we
run our economies, how we run our lives.

Speaker 14 (01:43:04):
That's right. And really this is just a sub part
of it, a subpart under kind of the E column.
But you know, in reality, you live in the Gulf Coast.
I live in the Gulf Coast. I've grown up in
the Houston area all my life. We have hurricanes. We're
just talking about how we're going to have thunderstorms and
possibly you know, events here in the next few days
with a.

Speaker 2 (01:43:24):
Lot of rain.

Speaker 14 (01:43:24):
The point is we have environmental events in Texas, but
it doesn't mean we need to go so far left
that there's a kind of a radical agenda to eliminate
an industry that is extremely important not just to Texas
but the economic well being of the entire globe.

Speaker 20 (01:43:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:43:40):
I was going to say the world. I thought you
were going to say the country, but you hit it
with globe. You're exactly right, that is what we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
But I knew what you were going to ask. I
just want ahead and cut to it.

Speaker 8 (01:43:48):
See did I point out what generation are you now
as a family in Texas?

Speaker 14 (01:43:52):
Actually we're six generations, So yeah, my family, we've been
out northwest of Houston and Hockley, the Hagars have for
a very long time.

Speaker 9 (01:44:00):
I would love to hear Kamala Harris try to put
on that kind of figures.

Speaker 2 (01:44:04):
Well you just giggle a little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:44:06):
Glenn Hager, Texas Controller, thank you for laying it out
for us. We appreciate to keep up the good fight.

Speaker 25 (01:44:41):
Other airlines were erected to Jeff Blue says its sales
may actually be up this quarter. Wall Street he expected
them to sink about five percent. The jobs market looks
cooler than economists anticipated. If you go by the number
of jobs Payroll Company ADP says private business is added.
In August, the count comes to ninety nine thousand. Economy
expected to see about one hundred and forty five thousand,

(01:45:03):
and we get the government's count tomorrow and their economist
figure we'll see one hundred and sixty five thousand jobs added.
Wall Street is waiting for those jobs numbers to gauge
how much of a cut in interest rates could be
on the table this month. S and P futures right
now are down thirteen. Nasdaq futures down one hundred eleven down.

Blue States have tried to open border policies and now
they're being forced on Texas.

Speaker 29 (01:47:32):
It's not working for them and they know it. But yeah,
the federal government fights Texas when we try to protect
Texans and actually all Americans.

Speaker 28 (01:47:41):
Maria Espinosa with the Remembrance Project says this is more
evidence that the Biden administration doesn't want the border closed.

Speaker 29 (01:47:48):

unwilling or unable to.

That's exactly what Kamala Harris has done.

including capital gains tax hikes.

Speaker 9 (01:49:04):
Oh, she's going to make a change, a flip flop
on that maybe.

Speaker 21 (01:49:07):
We will tax capital gains at a rate that rewards
investment in America's innovators, founders and small businesses.

Speaker 8 (01:49:17):
Yeah, she's sort of backtracking on some of that. She
didn't mention that capital gains tax could also require seniors
on fixed incomes to pay even more taxes on their
homes with his unrealized capital gains tax that she's talking
about instituting. Seven thirty four is our time. Stock futures

Texas State Controller Glenn Hagar are we just talk to
him speaking out about the left wing group that is
now suing Texas over our law banning ESG Texas investments

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Sher I remember SB thirteen.

Speaker 32 (01:51:29):
It prevents the state from entering into contracts with firms
that boycott oil and gas.

Speaker 14 (01:51:35):
And now we have this far left wing group that
is sue in Texas and oh, my goodness, is a
terrible law.

Speaker 24 (01:51:40):
You can't do this.

Speaker 14 (01:51:41):
And reality is really what they're trying to do is
just had their own agenda.

Speaker 32 (01:51:45):
That's Glenn Hager and the left wing group is the
American Sustainable Business Coalition.

Speaker 14 (01:51:52):
They're trying to say, oh, all oil and gas is
going to go away, when in reality, every component of
your daily life touches the petroleum product. So it's sounds conversation.

November fifth, News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:52:44):
Okay, it is seven thirty seven, So Cheron, let me
ask you this.

Speaker 5 (01:52:48):
I know there's obviously a little bit of in state
rivalry with the Rockets and Mavericks, but what do you
think of Mark Cuban. I don't like them, nobody likes them,
and with good reason, and you like him even less
after this, I've got clips here. I don't have enough
time to play them all for you, but I've got
clips here Mark Cuban doing an interview with CNBC and

(01:53:08):
talking about how Kamala Harris does not need to offer
any specifics about.

Speaker 6 (01:53:15):
Her proposals or her platforms or what she.

Speaker 5 (01:53:17):
Would do when president of the United States, suggesting that
she can do it after the election. I mean, Cuban
just went all Nancy Pelosi on the presidential election. Remember
you got us past it so we can see what's
in it. This is we've got elect her. We have
to elect her, then we'll see what she's all about.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
I kid you not.

Speaker 5 (01:53:38):
And at the same time, in this conversation got like
I said multiple clips here, Mark Cuban suggests that Kamala
Harris has the best business credentials, that she is pro business,
that she is somebody who would actually be great for
growing business. Isn't she also the woman that we just

(01:53:58):
heard mispronounced the word gouging by blaming the Biden inflation
that we are all suffering from right now on.

Speaker 9 (01:54:05):
Look, he's showbiz.

Speaker 8 (01:54:06):
He's a billionaire, all smoke and mirrors, and he's a
Hollywood want to be. And I really believe that he's
got a case a real badass against Donald Trump, who
is successful and Cuban cannot do this.

Speaker 5 (01:54:17):
He cannot do Hollywood, but you know he is Hollywood though,
because of the Shark Tank show he does.

Speaker 6 (01:54:25):
He does it well, he does it well. I don't
think he's cackable when he's on that show. I don't
like him well, well, but you don't like him because
you don't like him and neither Why because I.

Speaker 8 (01:54:35):
Don't like his politics, but I also think that he's
got a bad case of want to be, want to be,
want to be. Donald Trump's a guy who set the standard.

Speaker 5 (01:54:43):
I mean, he's highly successful. I mean the guy's worth.
I don't know what his net worth is, but it's
an insane number. He's very successful. I don't want to
say that, but I'm just saying I agree with you.
It's about his politics. And that's where I'm coming from here,
because here's a guy who's praising Kamala Harris's business of
support when she literally is blaming businesses, calling them price gougers.
And that's the reason why prices are so high. It's
not bidenflation. It's not the Biden Harris economy that they created.

(01:55:07):
It's not the attack on fossil fuels and the cost
of energy to get things from here to there and
then increase prices on your shelves.

Speaker 6 (01:55:13):
It's none of that.

Speaker 5 (01:55:14):
It's it's you know, it's the it's the greedy corporations
and business as she said. So this is just some
crazy stuff here. If I can put a couple of
short clips together before we're done, I'll do it.

Speaker 6 (01:55:23):
But it's out there. This is a guy.

Speaker 5 (01:55:25):

of his economic success. But he is out there when
it comes to kamala. Okay, seven forty, let's do they're

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

Speaker 6 (01:59:50):
I live in Pasadena, Sharptown, Southwest.

Speaker 4 (01:59:52):
Next on the ten time saving traffic con seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (01:59:57):
Okay seven fifty one now, So we finally got the
computer machine up and working again. So I wanted to
give just a little bit more time to President Trump
because Kamala Harris forfeited hers. It was supposed to be
three debates. She did not accept the first one, which
would have been last night. So Tucker and Sean Hannity
did their thing instead, and they were doing it in Pennsylvania,
which brings up a pretty good reason for Donald Trump

(02:00:18):
to talk about her flip flop offs.

Speaker 10 (02:00:20):
So the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania cannot even take a chance,
because that's the real opinion from her. Now, the whole
country would go down the tubes if you didn't do
the fossil fuel thing.

Speaker 16 (02:00:33):
It just would go. And you can do all sorts
of other things. But you know, Germany tried it.

Speaker 10 (02:00:38):
And it lasted for about nine months, and they were
going to go down the tubes entirely, and somebody else
came in, and I hate to say, they're building.

Speaker 16 (02:00:45):
A coal plant every single week, every week, and they're
building nuclear and they're doing a lot of things. It's
never work. It never will work.

Speaker 10 (02:00:54):
But Pennsylvania can't take a chance that that answer is true.
But she's been there for twenty years. That's what she's
been saying for a long time, and she will do that.
There's no chance that she's.

Speaker 3 (02:01:05):
Going to allow it.

Speaker 16 (02:01:07):
The election will take place if she won.

Speaker 6 (02:01:09):
You're not speaking of fracking of course here in case
you didn't know it.

Speaker 10 (02:01:12):
I'm gonna have any fracking in Pennsylvania. You have five
hundred thousand jobs. Think of that, that's your biggest business,
and you get a big majority of your income from fracking,
and you have somebody that's not going to allow fracking
she's not going to allow it.

Speaker 16 (02:01:27):
You can't take the chance. You have no choice. You've
got to vote from me. You've got to vote from me.

Speaker 5 (02:01:33):
You got that, even if you don't like me, And
there it is. That is such an important line share
Even if you don't like me. You don't have to
like my tweets, you don't have to like my personality.

Speaker 6 (02:01:44):
But you know what you want.

Speaker 5 (02:01:46):
You want to have an economy in Pennsylvania. Then you
can't let somebody come in here in ban fracking. I
won't do it, you know she will. That was a
huge point.

Speaker 9 (02:01:53):
You're vote, you're voting for your lives.

Speaker 15 (02:01:56):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (02:01:58):
Period.

Speaker 5 (02:01:59):
I had a friend tell me not long ago, you know,
because there are a lot of things about Donald Trump
that people find distasteful. His personality, maybe three marriages. Fine,
a friend of mine brought this up to me, not
too terribly long ago, said, you know, if he had
to go in for heart surgery and you had one
surgeon that you could choose, who was like just assault
of the earth guy family man, doesn't curse, doesn't smoke,

(02:02:22):
doesn't drink, doesn't do anything bad, doesn't rub people the
wrong way, and he's a really competent surgeon, and you.

Speaker 6 (02:02:27):
Have the other guy who is the best surgeon in
the world.

Speaker 5 (02:02:30):
But you know what, he likes hookers, and he likes,
you know, he swears, and and he's got a mean
ambrace of personality. Who do you want operating on you?
You want the best guy to save your life, not
the one who's the most pleasing. You know, who might
be competent but might also end up with you dead
on a table. Which one do you want? Because that's
what people need to understand about Donald Trump. He might

(02:02:51):
not be everybody's favorite cup of tea, but he's the
most competent guy for the job.

Speaker 9 (02:02:56):
Yeah, And you know they've gone into this whole thing
of going along with their friends. You know, I'm sorry.
There are too many people who just they want to
be in.

Speaker 8 (02:03:05):
And so if you want to be on the inside
of Hollywood and all the Rasmutas and the Billionaire Club
and all this stuff, well then you have to just
fall in line. And there no one's you got to
think for yourself when it's a matter of survival.

Speaker 6 (02:03:20):
No, it really is.

Speaker 5 (02:03:21):
And the worst part about it is they're the ones
that are all saying also saying that it's a matter
of survival. They think, you know, you have no idea
what this guy is gonna do. He's the one that's
going to lead to the collops of the country. Well
that's the weird part about this.

Speaker 9 (02:03:32):
They tried that before, didn't they.

Speaker 6 (02:03:34):
Well, yeah, and we do know what he's going to
do because we've seen him do it.

Speaker 9 (02:03:37):
This is he's gonna kill us all. He's coming for us.

Speaker 6 (02:03:40):
You know, he's going to lock people up.

Speaker 5 (02:03:41):
He's you know, all all of the gonna create in
tournament camps and all this other stuff. The guy's already
been president. It's not a matter of what might happen
because you've already seen Act one. You know Act two
is going to be a repeat. And guess what Act
one was pretty dog one good. And that's the way
I think people are.

Speaker 8 (02:03:55):
Look too many people. I want to be part of
the cool gang, the cool crowd.

Speaker 6 (02:04:00):
You can be with a cool crowd. I'll be with
the crowd that survives.

Speaker 5 (02:04:03):
All right, Sheriff, Thank you, great conversation all day. Stay
here for more from that, more of that from Michael Berry,
and we'll see you tomorrow on Friday morning on Houston's
Morning News.

Speaker 2 (02:04:11):
Have a great one,
