It is a five am good morning. This is Houston's
Morning News. I'm Jimmy Barrett along with Sheriff Ryer among
her top stories as we get started this morning, there's
no doubt Cruise is a much better debater. Texas Democrats

the north side I forty five and here it is.
I see that flue line. Look at Conro coming in,
rocking along posted speeds, Woodlands down twenty two minutes. If

up from the Galveston Causeway.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's pretty this morning, coming up from League City.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
It's a breeze thirty one minutes into downtown rest of
for freeways rock. I'm Skymike on the classic Buick GMC
Traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
From r KTRH, Top tax Defenders, twenty four hour Weather Center,
Party Claude, much cooler today, Hike tempers. You're only about
seventy three. Believe it or not. We'll get the laced
on the forecast from Terry Smith a couple of days
in the seventies. I think we'll enjoy that. More details coming.
We'll talk to her in nine minutes. Right now sixty
nine at your official severe weather station, News Radio seven

(01:30):
forty KTRH. It is time now for the news. Here's
Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Good morning. Everyone is South five oh one A news
radio seven forty k TRH and our tough story this
hour fireworks at the only debate between the incumbent Senator
Ted Cruz and Democrat Congressman Colin Allred last night.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
There was a bill. It was a very simple bill.
It was protecting women in girls' sports. He voted notes.

Speaker 7 (01:54):
Ed Cruz hammered all read all night on his voting record.
The border also took center stage.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
Every single time there's a serious measure in the House
to secure the border.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Colin all Read votes no.

Speaker 7 (02:05):
Heated exchange also took place regarding Israel, where Cruz hit
hard over his vote to send funds to Gaza. GOP
committeemen doctor Robin Armstrong says Cruise exposed Allread.

Speaker 8 (02:15):
It looks like he was just discombobulated. He didn't know
what to say or do.

Speaker 7 (02:20):
The latest polls showed Cruise with a five point lead
over all Red Andre Parard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Texas Democrats think they can flip some state House seats
though in Austin and once again prevents school choice from
passing next year. That's what they think, but rice as
Mark Jones says, that may not be reality.

Speaker 9 (02:43):
If they're able to flip all of those seats plus
not lose any of the current Democratic seats, that might
be true, but that also assumes that Abbot won't be
able to convince some of the remaining anti school choice
Republicans to change their opinion.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah, there's another side to state republic think that actually
there are some Democrat House seats that they can flip.
So here we go. Nationally, the Fox News Power rankings
show the battleground state of Michigan is now in the
toss up category as opposed to leaning Democrat.

Speaker 8 (03:16):
Now.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Political analyst Luke Massia says, Michigan's a bonus for Donald Trump,
but not for Kamala Harris.

Speaker 10 (03:22):
Well, donald Trump wins Pennsylvania, he doesn't need Michigan. That's
just the way the math works. So the Trump campaign
is a little more focused on Pennsylvania than they are Michigan.
Harrit can't lose Pennsylvania, can't lose Michigan.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yep, can't lose. Fox still gives Harris the electoral college edge, however,
two hundred and twenty six they say, to two hundred
and nineteen for Trump, but there are ninety three votes
according to Fox, still up for grabs on the campaign
trail Trump in the battleground state of Georgia last night.

Speaker 11 (03:52):
Three weeks from tonight, the people of Georgia going to
end Kamala Harris's grain.

Speaker 12 (03:59):
Of failure.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
On voting integrity. A Georgia judge, though, has temporarily suspended
a rule that requires clerks to verify vote totals by
hand counting the ballots. The number of ballots you have
to match the ballots with the totals, but now you
don't according to that judge. Trump has also demolished the
globalist moderator on why Trump tariffs have proven to work.

(04:26):
It was a fiery interview at the Economics Club of
Chicago yesterday afternoon. We'll have that for you at five
point thirty. It's not five oh four Trump rising with
black voters. Yes he is. And so Harris did a
town hall with radio hosts Charlemagne de god yesterday and
it did not go well.

Speaker 13 (04:45):
Doesn't the bid administration have to take some blame for
the border though, a lot of the blame, because I mean,
the first three years, y'all did get a lot of
things wrong with the border.

Speaker 14 (04:52):
Now, Charlemagne, within hours of being inaugurated, first thing we
dropped was a built to fix the broke immigration system.

Speaker 15 (05:03):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Yeah, what they proposed was the bill was mass amnesty. Yes,
there are reports that Harris could appear on Joe Rogan's
podcast trying to get more support from young men election
less than three weeks away. Yeah, Harris has given Donald
Trump a closing ad campaign though, and.

Speaker 16 (05:24):
Jera it was courtesy of Kamala's appearance on the view.

Speaker 17 (05:28):
Which you have done something differently than President Biden during
the past four years.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
There is not a thing that comes to.

Speaker 16 (05:33):
Mind, but something did come to mind for Fox's Guy Benson.

Speaker 18 (05:39):
This is an absolute layup of an ad to run.
What's taking them so long? This is the time to
blanket the airwaves with effectively their closing argument against Harris
made by Harris.

Speaker 16 (05:50):
And Harris could add more tonight during her first ever
appearance on Fox, Juff Biggs News Radio seven forty kat H.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
But here comes the left claiming that Russian bots are
pushing misinformation in order to influence the election. This, they say,
of course, they're attacking Elon Musk too. They say it's
happening on x formerly Twitter.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
The focus on.

Speaker 12 (06:14):
Acts is entirely political, and it all has to do
with Elon mush They cannot get over the fact that
someone who doesn't thing like them.

Speaker 19 (06:22):
Owns one of our major social media platforms.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Curtis Halk with NewsBusters. He told kt H, most voters
have already made up their minds, really, and the chances
that someone would be swayed by a Russian bot online
is next to zero. It's now five oh six. Clean
up from hurricanes. Milton and Helene continuing with a death
toll from Milton now at twenty four and at least

(06:47):
two hundred and sixty eight people have died in Hurricane
Helen with the unknown numbers, with unknown numbers still missing,
that can go higher. Looking at our money, we know
the end of the cheap burger is here, don't we.
You can blame government created inflation and years of.

Speaker 20 (07:07):
Drought, and those years of drought have caused the culling
of herds, especially cows used for hamburger meat. But inflation
is catching up with meat prices too, as Texas A
and M livestock economist David Anderson will tell.

Speaker 21 (07:21):
You everything for getting it from where the cattle are
produced to our grocery store or our restaurants are certainly
higher as well. You know energy prices, electricity.

Speaker 20 (07:32):
Ad in transportation, all increasing costs for every pound of
ground round. Michael shilohe News Radio seven forty KTR.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Agent one McDonald's in Pennsylvania gets the services of a
new fry cook for about an hour this Saturday, Donald Trump,
he's got to work a shift at McDonald's before rallying
in the city of Latrobe. It's the direct cop challenge.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
We have one presidential candidate who actually can now claim
that they actually did work at McDonald's and not be
telling a lie. That's good.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
My last sentence fiveh eight is our time Rockets beat
New Orleans in preseason action. It was one, eighteen ninety eight.

Live near Sharpstown, Reliable KTRH traffic and weather.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Next on the ten.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Hey, whatever happened to that redesigned the twenty dollar bill?

Speaker 21 (08:27):
Y'all?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Remember that they were talking about that like in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
By twenty twenty, we'd have a trying to get it
all done, signed, sealed, delivered. I think they did, didn't
they pass? Was it a law that they had to
pass to change?

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
Old Andrew Jackson, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Poor Andrew Jackson. He was a slaveholder.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
They didn't like him, No, they don't.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
They don't care for him very much at all. He's
getting ready to go away. He will not be on
the twenty dollars bill when they redesigned it. But he
was supposed to be in place by twenty twenty. It's
now twenty twenty four, so what happened, don't know. The
charagery kept pushing it back, pushing it back, pushing it back.
The latest date that they pushed it back to is
twenty thirty. Now before there's gonna be a new twenty

(09:09):
dollar bill with Harry Tubman as the portrait. That's still
another six years to go before that changes. They're also
redesigning the other ones. Oh, did you know there's a
Maya Angelou quarter? I've never seen one. Have you ever
seen one?

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Is she on a specific state?

Speaker 22 (09:28):
You know?

Speaker 5 (09:28):
They made all those quarters about different states?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Sure it could be on No, I don't think this
is a new release.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, yeah, I just I haven't seen one of those
yet either.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Well, that's what happens when you well, when you get
to play around being president.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah. What part of the delay, I mean, to be honest,
part of the delay is we have counterfeit problems. I
don't think we have counterfeit problems with quarters. I guess
a lot of people are counterfeiting quarters, but they are
counterfeiting twenty dollars bills, and that's.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Why it don't buy very much.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, they don't know twenty dollars bills don't buy much
anymore either. But that's why it's taking it until twenty thirty,
they say, is because they have you know, they have
to take new measures to make sure it's counterfeit proof.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
We're close to boss for money moving forward by twenty thirty.
I don't think we're gonna have paper money.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Maybe that's they're out. Maybe they're out, Maybe they're out.
Is you know this all this paper money stuff we
can we can't just be we can't be inclusive enough
with our currency, and it's too hard to keep them
from being counterfeited. We're just gonna have to go digital.
Think you're on to something there, sheriff five to ten.

Twenty four time here in Houston's Born News a right,
the headlines are ridiculous. The headlines from Trump's appearents. Yesterday
in front of the Economic Club of Chicago, Rolling Stone,
Trump crumbles when pressed on economic policy. Intense interview. Trump
lashes out at live fact checks during disaster of an

(15:07):
interview That's the New Republic. Journalists asked Trump if he
has called boot and since leaving office. I think that
was about a five second question answer. Trump refuses to
commit to peaceful transfer of power during Chicago visit. Good lord,
what Trump did was school the moderator on economics.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
I listened to the whole thing. Not a single one
of those headlines is right.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
No, of course not. Of course it's not right. So
let's just take a listen and judge for ourselves, shall we.
Here's President Trump being asked about economic policy from the
host who the moderator, who works for Blue he's an
editor Bloomberg. At the moment.

Speaker 24 (15:45):
There is a thing called the Trump trade in the market.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Do you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
The Trump trade is very simple.

Speaker 24 (15:50):
People are bessing that your policies, they're going to drive
up debt, they're going to drive up inflation, so they're
going to drive up inflation, interest rates.

Speaker 2 (16:00):

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Was that was when you had much.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I had four years.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's better than that.

Speaker 25 (16:10):
And Biden, who has no idea where the hell he is? Okay,
Biden went two years with no inflation because he inherited
from me, and then they started spending money like drunken salers.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
They spent so much money.

Speaker 25 (16:23):
It was so ridiculous the money they were spending. They
were spending on the green new scam, A green new scam,
the green new deal. You know it was conceived of
by AOC plus three. She never even studied the environment
in college. She went to a nice college. She came out,

Speaker 5 (17:29):
The guy is an anti tariff dude, oh god, totally
anti tariff. So he was just he never would he would,
he would lay all this stuff on him, sure, and
then not allowed Trump to respond.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Well, Gate, as you can tell, President Trump was more
than able to get his LIGs out.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
He wasn't, I tell you what. He got a lot
of rousing cheers he did in that crowd in Chicago,
which would shocked me. You wouldn't think that'd be a
super friendly crowd, would you. Yeah, five twenty seven. Time

Five thirty two on news Radio seven forty k TRHR.
Tough story. This our illegal aliens. Apparently they believe Kamala
Harris is in some trouble in her election, a caravan
of about a thousand invaders trying to get to our
border before a potential second Trump presidency, and good reason
that Harris has been promoting border security lately.

Speaker 28 (20:26):
A new IPSOS poll finds sixty six percent of Americans
now support deporting illegal immigrants, including ninety percent of Republicans
and nearly half of Democrats. Mark Grekorian with the Center
for Immigration Studies says you can thank the Biden border
crisis for these numbers.

Speaker 29 (20:40):
Joe Biden and Kamila Harris have been the greatest gift
to immigration enforcement advocates ever because they've shown what not
enforcing the immigration law means.

Speaker 30 (20:51):
So I'm surprised it's not ninety six percent.

Speaker 28 (20:53):
The poll also finds two thirds of Americans view illegals
as a major or minor threat. Coreyolson News Radio seven KRH.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
Several unnamed border patrol agents, and speaking to The New
York Post said they will quit if Kamala Harris wins
the election. More than four thousand have already left border
patrol since twenty twenty. Left claims mass immigration is actually good.
It's a huge advantage for America's economy, but it's a lie.

Speaker 31 (21:24):
They're portrayed as being a huge economic boost, but they
don't actually add much.

Speaker 32 (21:28):
It's latest group of people that is coming are people
that have very few job skills and very few ways
to contribute to the economy.

Speaker 31 (21:36):
Former immigration attorney Matt O'Brien says, these people just take
advantage of the American system.

Speaker 32 (21:41):
Taxpayers in the United States are subsidizing people who have
no formal connection to the United States and who are
essentially trespassers.

Speaker 31 (21:50):
O'Brien says, we've created an immigration system that rewards people
for breaking the law and coming here illegally. Ethan Buchanan

Top five thirty four Texas Center Ted Cruz he exposed
the radical politics of his challenger, Democrat Congressman Colin Allread.
It was during their debate last night in Dallas.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
It's a pattern we've seen actually at the presidential level,
because it's what Kamala Harris does as well and understand at.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Home, Colin Allread is Kamala Harris.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
Already didn't have much of a case to make for himself.

Speaker 33 (22:21):

Do you really think he cares about inflation and about
working families.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
I have a full recap at six am more charges
against Democrat for beIN County Commissioner candidate Taral Patel. He
was indicted for the ninth time in the election manipulation
fake racism case.

Speaker 34 (22:46):
I'm disturbed to my opponent, Darle Tell continues to be
indicted by Fort mccunny grand Juries on serious charges. He
really needs to withdraw from this race and more importantly
apologized to the community for his actions.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
Yeah, that's Pottel's opponent, Precinct three Commissioner Andy Myers. He
was with kt r H nationally Kamala Harris interviews with
Brett Bair tonight, who is under some pressure that anchorman
to not let her off the hook if she doesn't
answer tough questions, if he gives her tough questions, if.

Speaker 35 (23:20):
He just goes there and let her wander into I
was brought up in a middle class home and the border.
It's Trump's fault if he allows that. He's put his
career on the line.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Former Fox host Bill O'Reilly there, he was on News Nation. Meantime,
Joe Biden campaigned for Harris in Philadelphia. Openly rooting for
Trump to be sent to jail on that bogus conviction
in New York, on all that silly business strial, you know,
the one with a bias judge.

Speaker 35 (23:50):
I want to watch that Sentence's not running, he's running
for himself.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
I think he's running sat of jail.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Takes one to know one. Trump's sentencing by the Democrat
operative judge. Schedule for November twenty six. Trump did a
long and substantive interview in Chicago, defending his policies on tariffs,
but also going on offense against the Bloomberg Business chief editor,
who's a total anti tariff guy.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Let me do me.

Speaker 25 (24:22):
I know how committed you are to this, and it
must be hard for you to spend twenty five years
talking about tariffs has been negative, and then have somebody
explained to you that you're totally wrong.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Trump he was in rare form. He does an all
woman's town hall later this morning. It'll be on Fox five.
Thirty six is our time. US House Select Committee on
China and covering hundreds of millions of dollars taxpayer funded
grants going to universities partnering with schools in China. Adam
credo with a Washington Free Beacon says that's a problem.

Speaker 36 (24:56):
The money is going into institutions over in China that
have very clear ties to its military industrial complex, nuclear
weapons technology, semiconductor scenes of this nature.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
It's been happening for decades. They learned Bidenomics that work here. Walgreens,
after announcing a three billion dollars fourth quarter loss for
the fiscal years, says it's going to shut down twelve
hundred locations over the next three years. And the average
cost of childcare it's more than doubled in the past

(25:29):
thirty years, approaching twelve thousand dollars a year per child.
A lot of pressure on family budgets.

Speaker 28 (25:36):
Average weekly earnings adjusted for inflation are down three point
four percent.

Speaker 37 (25:40):
So not only can you not pay for toddcare, but
you can't pay as much for everything else that.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
You would buy economist Van skin. He adds that the
number of daycare facilities is stagnating right now, and that

Coming up here in just a moment. SpaceX still operates
or tries to operate out of the California, but they're
not getting any cooperation. Elon Musk made a request. He
wanted to have a launch on the California coast, and
they're citing environmental concerns as to why they just don't
want to have a launch, y'all if they have any

(29:56):
sort of a space rocket.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Yeah, the entire panel, the board, except for what they
said in their writing was that they don't like as politics.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I'll do you one better than that. What they said
on the record. I have audio of it what they said.

call it junk, those satellites mainly he puts a lot
of satellites.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
Up there and he brings them back down too.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yes, did you see that that rocket return?

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Holy moldly, I thought I was watching you know, something
wasn't real. I thought, is like virtual reality or something.
It was just crazy.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
This is easter, biggest, biggest ever, the largest ever.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Coming in hot It was coming in hot wholesome.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
It was forty two miles out.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, and then it slows down up and puts itself
in it's a little cradle.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
And it adjusted a little bit. It looked like it
was it moved over.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
That's crazy. But California evidently doesn't want any part of
that stuff because of Elon muskinis politics. So here is
the uh, the California commission then the commissioners, you know,
bringing up the real reason why they don't want Elon
mus shooting off rockets, and with the reaction from Greg.

Speaker 15 (33:01):
Guttfield dealing with a company that does not that is
the head of which has aggressively injected himself into the
presidential race.

Speaker 38 (33:15):
See what he should have said was, we're dealing with
someone who's injected himself into the presidential race, who isn't
helping the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
But see that would be honest.

Speaker 39 (33:24):
The trait that most bureaucrats have phor after all, Jeff's
Bezos owns the Washington Posts, the Soros Foundation funds left
wing das left and right, and Zuckerberg helped swing an
election for Joe in twenty twenty. See they're not mad
Musks a political billionaire, they're mad he's not their political billionaire.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Listen to Commissioner Mike. Thank you, I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I know.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Listen to Commissioner Mike Wilson.

Speaker 40 (33:58):
This company is owned by the richest person in the world,
with direct control over what could be the most extensive
global communication system on the planet.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
And just last week that person.

Speaker 40 (34:11):
Was speaking about political retribution on a national stage and how,
and it was very glib. But yet he was standing
next to a person, a candidate that openly promotes and
is working to normalize that language.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Oh my goodness, Oh your poor thing.

Speaker 38 (34:34):
Look if you're mad at somewhat normalizing bizarre language, arrest
Kamala every speed sounds like she's barfing up a word
of the day desk calendar. Finally, check out this doozy
from Commissioner Gretchen Newsome.

Speaker 22 (34:49):
Right now, elong Musk is hopping about the country spewing
and tweating political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his
desire to help the hurricane victims with the starlink access
to the Internet.

Speaker 38 (35:02):
Do any of these bureaucrats really sound like they care
about protecting wildlife? They wouldn't know the difference between.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
A brown bear and a bread bear.

Speaker 38 (35:10):
Actually, the only difference is one of them.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
No longer in the woods.

Speaker 16 (35:16):
Now.

Speaker 38 (35:17):
The only thing they're really protecting is themselves. They're angry
at Musk for not throwing his intellect and wealth behind
their idiot Kamala, and they're abusing their power to punish.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Him, and they will continue to do so. No surprise.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
Foolish for the state of California, though, this is like
an extension of Vandenberg Air Force space We're apparently maybe
SpaceX already has some content. Just wanted to expand what
they're able to do there.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
That's jobs, that's economy, that's they don't care about it
of a national program, evidently they don't care about any
of that stuff. Well, it might change if you have
a different person in that White.

Speaker 34 (36:46):
Hey, Sky might fly over to the Beltway, Sand you
said tollway.

Speaker 10 (36:52):
I could see the ninja lights up.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
On the ram now, well said extra points verbage.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Yeah, look out, I've got apparently a stall on the
Katie Freeway ramp that takes you to the West Sam,
that's kind of a sticky spot too. Also, it's even
stickier on the North Freeway southbound Hardytoe Ruad exit. We
still have that stall in the center lane inbound. I'm

Congressman all Read was an NFL linebacker. It is not
fair for a man to compete against women.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
Ted Cruz hits Colin Allred on his support of men
competing in women's sports. Did that last night's debate and
Dallas demoocrat resorted to a narrative that really hasn't worked
against Cruise in the past.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
His entire career.

Speaker 33 (38:06):
He spent a time trying to cut taxes for the
rich and not looking out for working folks.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
Uh huh. In the end, GOP committement doctor Robin Armstrong
says Cruz had already playing defense all night.

Speaker 8 (38:18):
I think his campaign was sunk because of this debate,
because I think his record is clear. Twill Texans now
who watched.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
The debate, Cruise leads all read in recent polling by
five points. Cruise and Donald Trump get the headlines for
the down ballot races should also have voter attention.

Speaker 42 (38:39):
Texas Dems think they can flip a few state House
seats and fight against school choice that as Governor Greg
Abbott playing defense.

Speaker 9 (38:45):
Governor Abbott is trying to protect those pro school choice
republic flipos a few Democratic seats where they're replacements would
be pro school choice Republicans.

Speaker 42 (38:52):
Rice's Mark Jones also says the Dems are playing this wrong.

Speaker 9 (38:55):
The school choice issue really doesn't resonate with voters in
a present than to our election year.

Speaker 42 (39:01):
Doctors were a big Republican primary issue, but right now
it's about the economy and illegal immigration. Cliff Saunders News

New numbers from Fox show Michigan is slipping away from
Kamala Harris and latest power rankings that stayed now a
toss up by Fox, which doesn't surprise political analyst Luke Massias.

Speaker 10 (39:21):
Michigan's filled with working class individuals who have been greatly
hurt by bidnomics. Their life is too expensive, they cannot
afford to meet the basic needs they have.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Right now Fox has Harris claiming two hundred and twenty
six Electoral College votes, Trump with two hundred and nineteen
ninety three in the toss up category. In a rally
in Atlanta last night, Donald Trump promised to end the
Kamala Harris reign of failure.

Speaker 11 (39:49):
We are going to launch a new golden age of
American success for the citizens of every race, religion, color,
and creed.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
The latest polling from Georgia has Trump ahead of Harris
by as many as five points in the Peach state.
Nathan Wade, the former Fulton County, Georgia Special prosecutor boyfriend
of the da there Fanny Willis, was grilled by House
investigators on that Georgia witch hunt case against Donald Trump.
Wade did not talk to reporters after his deposition with

(40:23):
the lawmakers. It is now six ' oh three. Kamal
Harris tried and failed to show up support among black
voters during a radio town hall with Charlemagne, the God
who asks your white voters believe that Trump holds the
edge more than that on the issue of the economy.

Speaker 14 (40:40):
Well, you know, I think that part of the issue
is that Democrats probably talk about it more in terms
of what we are doing for people rather than the economy,
when in fact, when you do for people, the economy growth.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
Harris tap dancing if you couldn't help. Harris told the
view that she would not have done anything differently than
Joe Biden. Remember when she was asked, well, Box's guy
Benson believes that gives Donald Trump a really nice closing
campaign ad.

Speaker 18 (41:13):
I couldn't believe that she said it, and for her
to have said it in such a condensed, helpful SoundBite
on national television kind of did the Trump campaigns work for.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
It in a lot of ways, Benson telling kt RhI
hopes it. We'll see an ad soon. With the election
now less than three weeks away, and here we go again,
mainstream media with their narrative that Russian bots are influencing
the election, pushing propaganda.

Speaker 31 (41:38):
Just like in previous years, You really don't have much
to worry about.

Speaker 19 (41:41):
It is farcical to suggest that some random accounts are
gonna tip the scales of this otherwise highly contested election.

Speaker 31 (41:50):
Curtis Houk with MRC NewsBusters told KATRH this is the
same excuse that the left has been using since twenty sixteen, the.

Speaker 19 (41:56):
Last spent four years undermining Donald Trump, jesting his presidency
was illegitimate because they can't get over the fact that
they lost.

Speaker 31 (42:05):

much influence because voters made up their minds already. Ethan Buchanan,

It's now six oh five deathtol from hurricanes Milton and
Helene Rise. Milton now at twenty four in county. Number
at least two hundred and sixty eight for Heleen Bloomberg
recently worn. We maybe near the end of the cheap
hamburger too? Did you know this caused largely by inflation
as well as reduced cattle herds. More concerns too, according

(42:36):
to Texas A and M livestock economists David Anderson.

Speaker 21 (42:40):
I think we're going to have a smaller cow herd
in twenty twenty five than twenty four.

Speaker 8 (42:44):
We're going to.

Speaker 21 (42:44):
Produce fewer calves, and we're gonna see beef production continue
to shrink.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
Yeah, this is just not an annual thing. These extend
out over a couple of years. Number of cattle available
from market, they've at least settled down when compared to
five years ago. But beef rice increases, that's what's inevitable.
Texas continues to grow rapidly. State officials told lawmakers transportation
funding is not keeping up. Mark Williams with tech Stott

(43:10):
says the ten year one hundred billion dollar transportation plan
needs to be expended one hundred billion.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Jimmy, we really need to have about a two hundred
billion dollar letting for construction if we're going to keep pays.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
But there's rewards on the other side, he says, if
we ease congestion, that would have a seventeen billion dollar
economic impact. And as we told you yesterday, tech Stot
held the first of two virtual public meetings this week
on that planned I forty five North Freeway expansion of
nine billion dollars. Groundbreaking takes place this week. Is now

I'm shereber Fryar on news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
She's absolutely terrible.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Your decision twenty twenty four.

Speaker 41 (44:06):
Headquarters is use Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
I am I'm not a plumber. Don't pretend to be
a plumber. Don't want to be a plumber. I don't
have not that there's anything wrong with being a plumber.
In fact, you can make a great living being a
master plumber. I do not have the aptitude. I inherited
that from my old man, Thanks Dad. My father was
a teacher. He said, if you're sick, go see a doctor.

(44:34):
If you've got electrical problems at the house, hire an electrician.
If you have a plumbing problem, hire a plumber. Don't
try to do this stuff yourself. You don't know what
you're doing. So every now and again, my wife, who
likes to save a buck when she can, it's in
her nature, will convince me that, hey, we can do

(44:57):
this ourselves. No more untrue statement was ever spoken. Then
I can do this myself. You ever get a host
stuck on your fixture outdoors? You know you can't off? Yeah,
you can't get But that's that's what I tried to
do brass fittings. Yes, I know that's the answer.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Use the aluminum. No, don't, don't, don't And they ended
up getting stuck.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, well, got an expensive reminder that yes, or woman?
Was it Sunday? We saw online. We saw a sort
of a home remedy involving a hack saw. So I
went out and I bought a little hack saw. You
have to off your well, you have to saw, you
have to soft the aluminum fitting, you know. And I'm

(45:44):
not and I'm there, I'm going and Listenbeth starts to
do it. She wants to do it because she thinks,
she thinks in her mind she's handier than I am,
and so she starts sawing. I said, honey, you need
to go higher, up to where it's really screwed in.
That's that's too low. She keeps on, and so I go, Okay.
Then I start sawing, and we're sawing, and we're saw
we're sawing, and we're on and finally I said this,

(46:04):
we have to go up higher. So I took it
up higher and it worked. But unfortunately, from all the
song that was done lower, guess what got saw the threads.
So now you can't You can't put a new one
on because if there's nothing for the threads to hang
on to, so that detested, you have to replace the
exactly right, which is going to require a plumber, which

(46:26):
I should have called in the first place. All I
got was frustrated and it's going to cost me the
same amount of money no matter what. If I called
the right guy, he probably could have come out and
gotten the old one off without having to replace the
hose bib. That's what you get for trying to do
it yourself sometimes.

Speaker 5 (46:43):
Yeah, and you know, and you retain your hose even
though you know because there it's long and it was
a little bit cheaper and whatever. And then you think
by after you go through all of that and have
to have a hose bib replaced, and you have to
go out and buy the new hose anyway with a proper.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Fitting, uh huh.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
Yeah, and you just need to make sure take your
hose off once in a whiles, you know.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
That's sure. I think that's I think that's the other
lesson is when you're not using your hose disconnected so
it doesn't get stuck.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
Well, we've had freezes, yes, so I've had a lot
of first hand lessons. Yeah, prepping for freezes and the
things that I should have done now I do wire.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Why are all home improved lessons expensive? Six to eleven?
Diver traffic and weather together? Well, man, if I can't
fix things right. That's right. Sky, I'm like, hey, good because.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
You know I failed vocational agriculture too, and that's very embarrassing.
If you're from Tarkington. Hang on, we're gonna get on
the Katie Freeway. Guys inbound, we've got that stall. David
from the west side sees all the toad Trek ninjas
on site. That is the Kdie Freeway flyover ramp and
it's way up there too, So watch out for that stall,
watch out for.

The cooler area is taking its time getting here, but
it's here, and the temperatures have been dropping in the
last couple hours.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
I'm looking at.

Speaker 23 (48:37):
Lots of low sixties and closer to seventy around downtown.

Speaker 5 (48:41):
So here's the thing.

Speaker 23 (48:42):
With the northeasterly breeze, and it is breezy out there, We're.

Speaker 5 (48:47):
Not going to see much of a warm up.

Speaker 23 (48:48):
We'll have plenty of sunshine, but later this afternoon, temperatures
will only be in the low to mid seventies, and
that's about ten degrees below average for October. And now
remember yesterday we were in the nineties. So this is
a nice change of base.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
And it is going to be cool.

Speaker 23 (49:06):
Tonight, lots of forties and fifties overnight, Tomorrow sunny and
slightly warmer, mid upper seventies. And Friday we're near eighty

but it's no longer cheap. Six twenty four our time.
David Anderson joins US professor and economist at Texas A
and M and I and I think maybe it's just
our love of hamburgers to begin with, that is part
of the reason why the price has been driven up.
But I cannot but think, you know that drop we
had a couple of years ago and having to thin
the herd, so to speak here in Texas, that didn't

(52:12):
help much, did it.

Speaker 21 (52:14):
No, that's a big part of it, quite honestly.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
I mean, it all starts.

Speaker 21 (52:17):
With drought and rainfall and the grass growing, which allows
us to have more cattle, which boosts our supplies and
brings those prices down. And so a big part of
it is just fewer cattle in the US.

Speaker 5 (52:29):
Yeah, And then it gets exacerbated by the economics of
what's happened in this country in terms of energy, the
attacks on energy. You know, it all falls back on
the poorer rancher. But really they have to pay for
their equipment, they have to pay for their feed, they
have to pay for transportation. I mean, it really rolls
around to more than just the weather.

Speaker 21 (52:52):
Well, it sure does. You know, we went through a
number of years of very low cap prices relative to
those costs you talk about. So with higher costs and
low prices for what they're selling, that cuts deeper into
our herds. And so again that adds to a little
less beef production, certainly fewer cattle.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
All right, So the only answer, I mean, if we're
going to look at this from an economic standpoint, the
only answer is a greater supply. Is there any change
in the supply coming anytime soon?

Speaker 21 (53:18):
David, Well, I think we're really looking at tighter supplies
going forward over the next couple of years. I think
next year we're going to have fewer cows than this year.
But again that's part of this where we are in
terms of prices. A cattle cycle. It is a cyclical industry,
but we've got, we've had some record high calf prices,

(53:41):
which I think generates some interest in an ability to
start rebuilding our herds and getting some growering beef supplies.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
But that's the ways down the road.

Speaker 5 (53:50):
What's happening on the industrial level the meat processors, the
middle man is always really easy to blame the middleman,
but how much of that is manipulated or is it?
Is it foreign interest? I know that the Chinese have
been buying a lot of the pork plants in the processing.
Who's in control of a lot of this middle stuff
that the farmers really can't do anything about.

Speaker 21 (54:12):
Well, I think the first part is when we see
higher costs in the overall economy, we have these same
costs in getting our food from where it's produced to
our grocery store and restaurant shelves and tables and so
you know all those you know, whether it's electricity, fuel,
labor costs, all of those costs that we see everywhere,

(54:33):
that's part of getting that.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Food to us.

Speaker 21 (54:35):
And so that gets us to some of these higher
prices as well. And certainly from a demand standpoint, a
consumer demand boy, people like beef, and we've been continuing
to buy.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Yeah, we have. And as as we're willing to pay
the price, I guess there's no real incentive to bring
it down.

Speaker 5 (54:53):
Is kt A for the steak? You always go for
the burder.

Speaker 2 (54:55):

Speaker 5 (57:27):
It is now six thirty two on news radio seven
forty KTRH. Our top story this our illegal alien invaders.
Apparently don't think Kamala Harris can beat Donald Trump because
there's a caravan about one thousand on its way to
our southern border right now through Mexico. Most of America
agrees with tiam Trump about border security. However, as an

(57:47):
IPSOS poll a new one showing two thirds of Americans
support to porting all illegal aliens. Mark Recorrion with the
Center for Immigration Studies says, the Biden Heares regime policy
has turned public opinion.

Speaker 30 (58:03):
Things have to get bad or worse before people realize
what the actual solution has to be. And that's kind
of the silver lining maybe around this disastrous four years
at the border under Biden and Harris.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
Yeah, Kamala Harris in recent days now claims she supports
border security. The lefts told us for years that mass
immigration would be a boost to the American economy, and
that is a false narrative, what the Democrats call misinformation.

Speaker 32 (58:33):
When you have people that come here with their hands
out and rather than producing money here in the United States,
they're simply taking money out of the pool, they wind
up being net drain on the economy.

Speaker 12 (58:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:47):
Former immigration attorney Matt O'Brien he told KGH, we've essentially
created an immigration system that rewards people for breaking the
law and coming into our country illegally and then demanding
handouts from us. It is now six thirty three, Texas
Senator Ted Cruzy debated Democrat Congressman Colin Allread and the

(59:08):
only debate of that Senate race, the only one before
election day, and we will have a complete recap at seven.
Cruise up by five points in the latest polling, but
other polls have this race much closer.

Speaker 27 (59:21):
There's a lot of people who are voting for Trump
and then not voting for Ted Cruz.

Speaker 20 (59:25):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
And that is Ted Cruz's big problem right now.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
He doesn't have the.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Love of a lot of people who are voting for Trump.

Speaker 5 (59:31):
That's writer Ryan Gerdosky. He was on with kgrh's Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton for Bing County Commissioner candidate Democrat
Teral Patel has been indicted for the ninth time by
a grand jury there for a new harassment charge. Now,
Patel's opponent, Commissioner Andy Myers, tells kg RH the case

(59:52):
is just overwhelming.

Speaker 34 (59:54):
The evidence against Hotel is pretty overwhelming. In likelihood is
that he's going to get convicted. Are have to comp
a plea to felony, in which case he would not
be able to serve as county commissioner.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
Myers just says, look, Patel should drop out of the
race and apologize to the community for the hoax he did,
fake racism hoax nationally Fox interviews Kamala Harris tonight first interview.
She's done with that network.

Speaker 25 (01:00:21):
We're going to do it uninterrupted, unedited, straight through the
whole interview, nothing left off.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
Yeah, that's the host. We'll be asking the questions. Britt Bear.
The interviews scheduled to run at five PM won't help Harris.
Bernie said, this won't anyway, Bernie Sanders giving the Trump
campaign more material for a closing campaign ad.

Speaker 43 (01:00:46):
President Biden has probably been the most progressive president since
Franklin Dolo Roosevelt. And I think it's done a lot
of good work on a lot of areas which I
think he is not getting the kind of credit that
he deserves.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
And Kamala Harris has been.

Speaker 43 (01:00:59):
At his site throughout the whole process.

Speaker 5 (01:01:02):
Sanders on CNN. Trump rallied in Atlanta last night and
also spoke on his economic policies in Chicago. That was
before the Economic Council there in Chicago, and he basically
shut down the moderator, who is an anti tariff guy,
and especially tariffs on China.

Speaker 24 (01:01:25):
People are bessing that your policies, they're going to drive
up debt, They're going to drive up inflation, so they're
going to drive up inflation interest rates. Are the investors wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Yeah? I had four years no inflation.

Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
Yeah, he has a record. Just read it. Trump does
an all women's town hall later this morning on Fox
six thirty six is our time. There's a new congressional
report showing that hundreds of millions of US research dollars
are actually helping out China's military.

Speaker 16 (01:01:58):
And sure it's been happening for this decades, all from
grants funded by taxpayers.

Speaker 36 (01:02:04):
This is money that was pumped into universities that partner
with Chinese institutions.

Speaker 16 (01:02:09):
That's Adam Credo, reporter with the Washington Free Beacon. US
universities working with schools in China has allowed backdoor access
to the CCP everything.

Speaker 36 (01:02:21):
That China really wants to bring its military to the
cutting edge and essentially beat America's military.

Speaker 16 (01:02:26):
The House Select Committee on China is now trying to
stop it. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty kth.

for allegedly spying on behalf of the Iran and plotting
the assassination of a top Israeli scientists. It included apparently
one hundred thousand dollars payment for achieving the weapons to
carry out the plot. Meantime, Israel has conducted another air strike,

(01:02:55):
this one in the first one in Lebanon in the

The topic of tariffs came up during its Trump's appearance
at the Chicago Economic Club yesterday with a hostile moderator,
but that's okay. Trump is used to hospital moderators. Here
is what the President had to say about tariffs, with
some reaction to the other end from economist John Carney.

Speaker 25 (01:03:50):
This tremendous waste, fraud and abuse in our contracy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
You told me, and if you could cut it, you.

Speaker 25 (01:03:56):

But growth, we will grow.

We're going to bring companies and jobs in at levels
that you've never seen. And you would never be able
to do it because you're not a.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Believer in tariffs.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
The only way, let me tell you, the only way.

Speaker 25 (01:04:15):
You can do it is through the threat of terroiffs.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
The American people love this.

Speaker 44 (01:04:20):
The latest ABC News poll showed fifty seven percent of
American support and they phrased it as taxes, higher taxes
on imports. So they tried to phrase it as you know,
negatively as they could, and they still got a commanding
majority of the American people saying, Yes, I am in
favor of that. People know, as you were saying, inflation

(01:04:40):
is not an issue. Inflation is not caused by teriffs.
Milton Friedman taught us a long time ago. Inflation is
caused by monetary policy. It's caused by deficits spending accommodated
by the Federal Reserve. Teriffs don't cause inflation at all.
These economists know better. When they say Trump's going to
cause inflation, they're basically fibbing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
Here's the p that I don't understand. Why is it
that they don't realize? Did you hear what President Trump
said the threat of tariffs. He's not going to put
a tariff on everything. What did he do the last time?
All he had to do was phone up Canada say listen,
if you don't stop doing this, I'm going to put
a tariff on that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:20):
But he did put teriffs on China.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
And well short the ones that wouldn't listen to.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
Did not get rid of them because he's bringing in
too much money.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Yeah, but the ones who wouldn't listen, I mean it's
a negotiation tool among other things.

Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
Look countries like China, what they do they subsidize then
so they can continue to import into our country or
export from theirs. So then it makes the dollars stronger.
So not only are you getting prices that haven't risen
because of the tariffs, you're getting to buy it with
dollars that buy more. It's a double whammy in favor

(01:05:52):
of the American buyer consumer that they never got into that. No, no,
they guy wouldn't let Trump explain anything. That's because he
doesn't believe in that, so he did want an explanation.
He was in a willing pupil six forty time for
trifacing weather. Together, Let's check out the drive once again.

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
All right, that was eastbound in the dust was freaking

just as much at plumbing as I did sheet rock.

it because you're going to switch your un know what off.

Speaker 23 (01:07:24):
Yeah, this is one of those days where I just
go and open up all the windows in the house,
let the fresh air in, and just don't even worry
about the AC.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Oh, it's so nice.

Speaker 23 (01:07:35):
So the cooler air is making its way into Southeast
Texas as we speak. I've been watching the temperatures drop
and just enjoying that. Now we're not going to warm
up a lot today. It's going to be a nice day.
Breezy though a little bit breezy out there. Load of
mid seventies this afternoon. That's as warm as we'll get.
It's going to be cool tonight. Air is very dry,

(01:07:55):
so we'll drop down into the forties and a number
of locations to mid fifties overnight. Tomorrow's just a little
bit warmer, mid to upper seventies. Friday, we're near eighty.
The weekend really nice as well. Still sunny, a little
more humidity, a little more warm, but it's just normal

Speaker 14 (01:10:56):
So repetition is important, and for that reason, Yes, at
my rallies, I say the same thing when I go
to Detroit as I do in Philly, as I do
wherever I am, to make sure that people here and
receive what I think are some of the most critical
issues that are at taken the selection.

Speaker 17 (01:11:13):
I'm not sure she understood the question, because the question
was why do you repeat things often? And her answer
was repetition is important whether I'm in Detroit or Philly
or quote wherever I am. I think she took it
to me she gives the same speech in Detroit that
she gives in Philly that she gives wherever I am.

(01:11:34):
It's not even sinking in her head that she repeats
herself over and over in the same speech, because the
answer to that would have to be because I think
that the American population is stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
Okay, well, here's the thing. She did get asked the
question that I can understand. Listen, I completely understand why
she didn't want to answer it. But again, there was
an opportunit to press her on this, and nobody did.
She was asked how she felt about reparations. She said, well,

(01:12:09):
we need to study that well, reparations have been studied
to death. At this point in your political career, you
either believe in it or you don't. And clearly she's
afraid to give her real opinion of whether or not
she believes in it or not. Knowing that, you know,
a certain segment of significant segment of the population is

(01:12:31):
going to be upset regardless of which answer she gives
that No, she's not in favor of it, or yes
she is. Six fifty four Now Karon Houston's Morning News. Oh,

GOP committeemen doctor Robert Armstrong says, well, really, Cruz exposed Allred.

Speaker 8 (01:16:14):
All Red looked like he was just discombobulated. He didn't
know what to say or do. They didn't know how
to defend his own records.

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
Cruz has a five point lead over Already in some
of the latest polling. Texas Democrats think they can flip
some state house seats, so in Austin to Democrat and
prevents school choice from passing again, preventing it from passing
again this year. That's what they think rice, As Mark
Jones says, it may not be reality.

Speaker 9 (01:16:42):
If they're able to flip all of those seats plus
not lose any of the current Democratic seats, that might
be true, but that also assumes that Abbot won't be
able to convince some of the remaining anti school choice
Republicans to change their opinion.

Speaker 21 (01:16:56):
Yeah.

At the same time, state Republicans think that there are

Michigan would be a bonus for Donald Trump, but it's
not for a bonus for Kamala Harris.

Speaker 21 (01:17:20):
Well.

Speaker 10 (01:17:20):
Donald Trump wins Pennsylvania, he doesn't need Michigan. That's just
the way the math works. So the Trump campaign is
a little more focused on Pennsylvania than they are Michigan.
Ka harri can't lose Pennsylvania can't lose Michigan.

Speaker 5 (01:17:31):
Yes, she has to have Michigan. Fox still gives Harris
the electoral college edge, however, to twenty six to Trump's

So I have a question. Fry cook. Does that mean
he's flipping burgers or he's making fries?

Speaker 5 (01:22:00):
Well for both both. Okay, you kind of fried a hamburger.
You do it on a griddle, true or a grill.
I don't know if they do it. I think they're
doing a griddling.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff
Fryar Paulloween is almost here.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
If you bought your supplies yet, I still have to
make my run for the full size candy bars. That's
what you get at the Barrett House.

Speaker 5 (01:22:36):
I think about you every time I'm at the store.
I think, Wow, should I pull a Jimmy, you know?

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
And oooh little competition?

Speaker 5 (01:22:44):
Well no, it's not that so much as the Calloween
candy that you can readily buy. And it's gotten so
expensive and everything's so small pieces and everything. I think
this is the same stuff at every door.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
It is. Yeah, Well it's because everybody buys those little,
you know, mini ones, and you know, you get a
certain selection depending on the manufacturer, and they put the
same ones in each bag and get a couple of
backs and.

Speaker 5 (01:23:09):
More money on the wrapping paper than you do on
the manufacturer.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
That's probably true, But are you curious?

Speaker 5 (01:23:16):
I think your deal is a better deal.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
Hopefully so a better deal for the trick or treating. Yeah,
for you, I know that, And I don't get that
many we get maybe we get less than one hundred
trigger traders in our house, so it's not that big
a deal. But I'm trying. I always trying to figure
out what which kind of candies to buy. And I
have a tendency. You don't mean I'm kind of I'm

(01:23:39):
kind of the counterculture when it comes to you know,
all the healthy people. Oh it's Halloween candy is it's
so bad for you? You should you should eat your
veggies and and you should skip the candy and let
the dentists buy that bag of candy. The dentist is
not buying my bag of candy, thank you very much.
In fact, I just for that, I'm gonna go out
and try to find the most unhealthy Halloween candy I can.

(01:23:59):
If your looking looking for healthy, not that anybody is,
or the healthiest. Peanut m and ms are the healthiest.
I do too. I'm surprised to.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
Be careful because you don't know about kids and peanut allergies.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Yes, you do. You're right about that.

Speaker 5 (01:24:15):
It's like there's there's no Halloween left Halloween.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
Yeah, A serving of peanut m and ms contains a
little less than one gram of fiber, two grams of protein,
nine grams of sugar. It's similar size serving of rheses.
Peanut butter cups contains about the same nutritional value, but
it has a little bit more sugar. Snickers bars contained
my dad was soaked on those contain no fiber, one
gram of protein, and nine grams of sugar. The thing

(01:24:42):
that makes peen mms peanut m and ms also superior
is made mostly of milk. Chocolate. Almond Joys, by comparison,
also contain nuts and chocolate, but are mostly made of
corn syrup. And we all know how good.

Speaker 5 (01:24:56):
I used to love Oh Me Too and Payday. You
know they have a lot of peanuts in them. But
I think there's probably I think I think if you,
if you are and big hunk, well you know, older
teeth not good. Yeah, they'll they'll pull the fillings, frowns,
but all that stuff big hunks, Yeah, I guess if you,
if you're trying to do something even semi healthy, look

(01:25:17):
for the first ingredient to make sure it's not corn syrup.
As long as it's not corn syrup, the chances are
it's fairly decent seven to ten. Time for traffic and
weather together. What's your favorite Halloween kend Joki way? Little little,

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
On seven.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Ted was cruising last night, that's for sure. Seven twenty
two is our time here in Houston's Morin News. You
know doctor Robin Armstrong. First of all, thanks for joining
us and getting up this morning. We always appreciate it.
But the thing always said, thank you, you bet. The
thing is always strikes me about Ted Cruz. Everybody knows
what a great debater he is, so I guess you
have to get callin Allred a little bit of credit
for even going in there against him, don't you.

Speaker 8 (01:30:22):
Uh you know, I'll tell you I think cal Red
gets no credit at all for running in this race.
I mean, he is such a radical leftist, just like Kamala,
just like Joe, And I think Cruse was fantastic at
pointing that out. He used his own record, and I
think it's really he used Colin Alred's own record to
actually run against Colin alright, and just performing master class

(01:30:45):
in this debate last night. I thought it was fantastic.
Colin was so upset, he even was getting angry. It seemed.
I was thinking, oh, lord, Crew's better be careful. This
guy is pretty big.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:30:55):
I'm thinking you better hurry and get out of there
pretty quick. But I think that Cruse was just a
master class and how you use someone's own record against
them in a debate, and how you just point that
out how radical he is. And I think he did
a fantastic job. I was so excited about the debate performance.

Speaker 5 (01:31:11):
Do you think it changed anything? You think Democrats maybe think,
oh what are we supporting here?

Speaker 21 (01:31:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:31:21):
No, I tell that you know the Democrats are are
stuck on stupid, I think, and so I think they're
going to get forty five percent who are going to
vote for Collin all irrespective. I think who it does
affect is the people who are undecided in the state
of Texas or the people who are unsure with Senator Cruz.
I think that it clearly the people who are watching
that debate last night. It clearly points out to them

(01:31:43):
that Colin is not in line with most independents in
the state of Texas and certainly not in line with
most Texans, and so I think that'll be pointed out.
I hope to see this this race get up to
ten percentage points. I think it will help Cruise quite
a bit because I think he just pointed out that out.
You know, if you look at all Rich commercials, he's
running as a moderate, but clearly his record is not moderate,

(01:32:06):
his votes are not moderate. He is very radical, and
I think Cruz pointed that out very effectively last night.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
What do you think Senator Cruz's big weakness is? It
seems that the Democrats have been very good and I can't,
for the life of me explain how one issue like
abortion can have the kind of impact that it does,
but that seems to be the one issue that Democrats
are winning on in our hammering home and it seems to.

Speaker 8 (01:32:26):
Help them, you know, it is the only issue that
they have, and it's white suburban women. You know, unfortunately
that that issue is very effective with and so but
I think that Cruz was able to deflect that last night.
If we noticed, that was the first question that they
asked last night, Cruise very effectively pointed out that, look,
there's a whole lot more issues than abortion, and we

(01:32:50):
need to make sure that he pointed out already's radical
record on abortion as well. And I think that's something
that we as Republicans have to focus on a lot more,
pointing out the radical nature of the Democrats' positions on abortion.
And I think that that most ladies will will will
not agree with that.

Speaker 5 (01:33:06):
It just seems to me they're an awful lot of people,
you know, they're talking about people will vote Republicans, will
vote for Trump, but they won't vote for Cruz down
the line. And that strikes to me is that's a
problem from Rhino Republicans that people whose noses are they're
part of the Unit Party who'd rather be part of
a Democrat group than be pushed to the back of MAGA.

(01:33:28):
You think there's that at play here too, well, I.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
Think it is a little bit.

Speaker 8 (01:33:33):
And I think, you know, Trump's gonna actually poll higher
just because he's at the top of the ballot, and
he's going to turn a lot of people out who
are not who have never voted Republican before. And so
he just has personality and charisma and all of that.
And I think Cruz is he suffers from a little
bit of just being attacked, you know, so often over

(01:33:54):
the last few years, and and and and and he
you know, he is a life of factor as well,
I think there. But but Cruiz is a great guy.
He's a nice guy. I think people if people could
get to know him better, I think they would see
that he's a fantastic guy, very personable.

Speaker 2 (01:34:11):
But I believe that.

Speaker 8 (01:34:12):
That he's going to come out ten percentage points plus
ahead defeating Colin all Read. Remember early voting starts on
Monday the twenty first, and we've got to get out
and vote early and vote on election day.

the highest level since early August. According to the Mortgage
Bankers Association, the rate on the thirty or fixed loan

Global jet field demands is expected to grow by forty
five percent by twenty forty, according to Goldman sax Estimate.
Sad lists say demand will be driven by rising incomes
in emerging market economies that will boost the number of
passengers in the sky significantly, and shoppers may be trimming
their spending this holiday season. According to a forecast from
the National Retail Federation, holiday sales expected to grow at

(01:35:22):
a slower pace this year compared to last year. Spending
is slowing from the abnormally high growth of the pandemic years.

Everyone is now seven thirty two on news radio seven
forty k TRH. Our top story this our illegal aliens.
Apparently believe Kamala Harris is in trouble against Donald Trump
because there's a caravan already headed our way, one thousand
invaders trying to get to our border before a potential
second Trump presidency. Good reason Harris has been promoting border

(01:37:25):
security lately, are trying to A.

Speaker 28 (01:37:29):
Dow Ipsos poll finds sixty six percent of Americans now
support deporting illegal immigrants, including ninety percent of Republicans and
nearly half of Democrats. Mark Grekorian with the Center for
Immigration Studies says you can thank the Biden border crisis
for these numbers.

Speaker 29 (01:37:42):
Joe Biden and Kamila Harris have been the greatest gift
to immigration enforcement advocates ever because they've shown what not
enforcing the immigration law means.

Speaker 2 (01:37:53):
So I'm surprised it's not a ninety six percent.

Speaker 28 (01:37:56):
The poll also finds two thirds of Americans view illegals
as a major or minor threat. Coriolson, Who's radio seven

Speaker 5 (01:38:04):
Meanjaim, you have several unnamed Border Patrol agents who were
interviewed telling the New York Posts they will quit if
Kamala Harris wins election. More than four thousand Border Patrol
agents have already left the agency since twenty twenty. The
left Plaim's mass immigration is actually a huge advantage for
our economy, but that's not true.

Speaker 31 (01:38:27):
They're portrayed as being a huge economic boost, but they
don't actually add much.

Speaker 32 (01:38:31):
It's latest group of people that is coming are people
that have very few job skills and very few ways
to contribute to the economy.

Speaker 31 (01:38:40):
Former immigration attorney Matt O'Brien says, these people just take
advantage of the American system.

Speaker 32 (01:38:44):
Taxpayers in the United States are subsidizing people who have
no formal connection to the United States and who are
essentially trespassers.

Speaker 31 (01:38:53):
O'Brien says, we've created an immigration system that rewards people
for breaking the law and coming here illegally.

Ethan Buchanan News Radio six RH.

Speaker 5 (01:39:01):
It's now seven thirty four. Last night's Senate race debate
between Ted Kruz and Colin Alred went the way you
might have expected it to. The challenger didn't have much
going for him other than rhetoric.

Speaker 33 (01:39:14):
This is somebody who goes to the Ritz Carlton and Cankun.
Do you really think he cares about inflation and about
working families.

Speaker 5 (01:39:21):
Cruz, an incumbent, exposed Alred's congressional votes and radical politics.

Speaker 6 (01:39:30):
It's a pattern we've seen actually at the presidential level,
because it's what Kamala Harris does as well and understand at.

Speaker 1 (01:39:36):
Home, Colin Allred is Kamala Harris.

Speaker 5 (01:39:39):
Now, Cruz leads some of the latest polling by as
much as five points. Bad news for Fort beIN County,
Democrat candidate for county Commissioner there Tyral Patel. He's been
indicted for the ninth time for the social media racism hoax.
He's accused of perpetrating and election manipulation. That what the

(01:40:00):
case is all about. Pttel's opponent, Republican Commissioner Andy Myers,
tells kt RH he doesn't think though, that Patel will
be even be dropping out of this race.

Speaker 34 (01:40:11):
There's all kind of financial incentives not to drop out.

Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
He's not going to drop out on the race.

Speaker 34 (01:40:16):
He's got at least two engineering firms that are funding
his campaign.

Speaker 5 (01:40:21):
Fort Being County Judge KP. George also has been indicted
in this scandal. Nationally, Kamala Harris interviews with Fox's Brett
Bair tonight, and it could make or break her. According
to some analyst, it's a.

Speaker 35 (01:40:36):
Big risk because candidate Harris has not articulated any problem
solving solutions.

Speaker 5 (01:40:46):
Specifically, Bill O'Reilly on News Nation. Trump did a long
and substantive interview, substantive interview in Chicago, not only defending
his policy on terriss but going on offense against the
anti tariff Bloomberg Business chief editor who was asking the questions.

Speaker 25 (01:41:06):
Let me do me committed you are to this, and
it must be hard for you to, you know, spend
twenty five years talking about tariffs has been negative, and
then have somebody explained to you that you're totally wrong.

The money is going into institutions over in China that
have very clear ties to its military industrial complex, nuclear
weapons technology semifs of this nature, just.

Speaker 5 (01:42:02):
Passing it over. A report found it's been happening for decades.
Biden Harris regime sending a letter to Israel threatening loss
of weapons funding to them unless they give quote more
humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Speaker 37 (01:42:16):
The administration apparently didn't try very hard to keep this
letter private. Some details did leak and represent mixed messaging.
The warning about weapons funding comes the same day the
Pentagon is explaining the benefits of an anti missile system
it is sending to Israel.

Speaker 5 (01:42:31):
Fox's Peter Doosey reporting there. Seven thirty seven is our time.
A couple of bad economic notes. Walgreens announced a three

it's going to shut down twelve hundred locations of Walgreens
over the next three years. We know that the average
cost of childcare has more than doubled in the past
thirty years, and at the same time, we're seeing a

Radio seven rh Sheriff Fryer. Do you like spicy food?

Speaker 5 (01:43:35):
I like heat, but I and I like spices, different spices.
If you're talking about you talk about heat.

Speaker 2 (01:43:41):
Yeah, how about thy food? Do you like types? Okay?

Speaker 5 (01:43:44):
I love Indian food. I love ethnic food, like crazy
because again spicies spices, but not all spices are hot spices.
So no, you know, like hatch peppers. I'm not big
on hatch peppers.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Yeah, this, this evidently is really really spicy. There's a
lawsuit that's been filed by San Jose doctor claiming the
dragon ball's appetizer that should have been your first clue,
The dragon ball's appetizer at Coodtai restaurant. You gotta like
that name, don't you. Coodie Thai Restaurant was so spicy

(01:44:19):
it burned her internally. It's going to go to a jury.
It proved to go to a jury next August. The
woman sued Coodi Taie in July last year. Boy, this
take a long time to get to court in Santa
Clara County Superior Court, alleging the discs scorched her vocal cords, esophagus,
and the inside her right nostril, saying she incurred permanent

(01:44:41):
injuries and will forever be damaged. The restaurant, in court
filing last year, denied causing injury to her. The restaurant
on its owner. We're still seeking medical records related to
the incident.

Speaker 5 (01:44:53):
Did they force Faeder?

Speaker 2 (01:44:55):
No, Well, here's what happened. Evidently, she ordered the dragonballs
and the wait staff said, you know, that's really spicy,
super spicy, and she said, well, I don't. I don't
do well with super spicy. Can you tone it down?
You're at a Thai restaurant, You're ordering the most spicy
thing on the menu, and you asked them to tone

(01:45:15):
it down. How much are they going to tone it down?

Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
How much can they and have it still be the same?

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
That's it. So they supposedly toned it down, but she
reacted right away to the spice. The allegation is is
that the restaurant didn't do a sufficient job of advising
her on just how spicy was. Number one and number
two was not prepared to act on her behalf when
she had a negative reaction to it. In other words,

(01:45:41):
there was no glass of milk or something else that
she could do to put out the fire. That's where
the lawsuit comes from Evan Ling.

Speaker 5 (01:45:50):
Sounds like a setup to me.

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
Yeah, it kind of does. Supervisor at the restaurant she.

Speaker 5 (01:45:55):
A lawyer or she went out she's a doctor.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
She's a doctor. She's probably married to a lawyer. Yeah,
there's if you go to a Thai restaurant and you
ordered the spiciest thing on the menu, you asked them
to tone it down. They're only to tone it down
so much.

Speaker 5 (01:46:09):
Well, why didn't you order some milk at the same time.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
Well, she's she says, she said, Well, they should have.
They should have told me they couldn't tone it down enough.

Speaker 5 (01:46:16):
She's the dog.

Speaker 2 (01:46:17):
They should have advised me to order something else.

Speaker 5 (01:46:20):
Oh, for heaven's sake.

Speaker 2 (01:46:21):
Yeah, seven forty one. Time for traffic and whether together
it's too spicy? Dragon balls? Yeah, I think you're in

Pastor Lorenzo Seoul that's the man who invited Trump to
Detroit to speak in front of his group. He's a
little offended by the town hall with Charlemagne the God
and Kamala Harris. Here's what he had to say about
all that.

Speaker 47 (01:50:51):
I have never been so offended in my life. She's
bringing a man here who is Charlemagne, a false god,
to a community that has forty five hundred churches, all
people of faith.

Speaker 46 (01:51:04):
We are extremely offended.

Speaker 47 (01:51:06):
That she's bringing a podcaster here to talk to black
men about politics. She brought a retired athlete to Flint
who is failing Magic Johnson, and she brought Oprah to
Oakland County as if she understands the plight and the
plane of people that look like me. We will not
allow virtue signaling, but we will not allow identity politics.

(01:51:31):
Black men are not political infants. We know exactly what's
happening with the Democratic Party. We know that they've exploited
us for over six decades, and we are saying, just
like Moses said to Pharaoh, let my people go. They're
saying they want a president that number one can help

(01:51:52):
us with election integrity. We understand that in the city
of Detroit, election integrity is an issuecond thing. We want
a president that can hold accountable our local and our
state government from the resources.

Speaker 46 (01:52:07):
That are already here.

Speaker 47 (01:52:08):
We already have federal funding through agencies like SBA, which
President Donald Trump opened up that portal in a way
that it has never been opened up in the history
of the SBA, which by the way, was started by Republicans.
And we want a politician that's real, that wants to
come here and listen to US. Vice President Harris, she's

(01:52:29):
not spoken to any pastors.

Speaker 46 (01:52:31):
Vice President Harris.

Speaker 47 (01:52:32):
She continues to think that she can entertain her way
to the black vote.

Speaker 46 (01:52:37):
We are offended, and we want her to.

Speaker 47 (01:52:40):
Be willing to actually bring real solutions to the complex
problems that we're facing an urban America.

Speaker 2 (01:52:47):
Wow, it's pretty strong, but then he's been pretty strong
and all that kind of stuff. It's going to be interesting,
is it not chared to see how this plays, whether
or not you know, this last ditch effort to applete,
appeal in particular to black men who are questioning whether
or not they're Democrats anymore, whether or not the Democrats
have their best interest at art, whether or not they

(01:53:09):
can you know, pull some of those voters back in.

Speaker 5 (01:53:11):
I don't believe that she still has majorities of black feens. Sure,
you know, it's just she doesn't have She's dropped twenty points.

Speaker 2 (01:53:19):
She doesn't have super majority anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:53:20):
Yeah, I have Hillary and everything, So I don't know.
I mean I think the ones that are already gone,
they're gone. Yeah, it's pretty much the way it works
in policy.

Speaker 2 (01:53:30):
I would think I would think, Yeah, I don't think
there's anything you can really at this point. You know,
we're just a couple of weeks away from the election.
At this point, I think minds are pretty much.

Speaker 5 (01:53:38):
Maybe that's an excuse to keep you away from the
suburban women, because once they actually get to see her inaction,
she may be bleeding them too.

Speaker 2 (01:53:45):
Good point. Hey, listen, y'all have a great day. We'd
