team set for trade talks with China this weekend, but
trusting the Chinese is another ballgame.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Progress might happen, but it's a long road to ho.

Speaker 8 (02:19):
I would expect that if a deal does get done,
it's going to take several months.

Speaker 9 (02:22):
The number of.

Speaker 8 (02:23):
Details that will need to be resolved between these two
countries is really a very long list.

opening its markets will be crucial, and the US needs

Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful. Former President Biden
he continues his awkward media comeback tour yesterday on The

that he would have beaten Donald Trump if he stayed
in the race.

Speaker 13 (03:57):
Yeah, he still has seven million fewer oaks. People didn't
show up number one, number one, number two.

Speaker 14 (04:03):
They're very close in those toss up states.

President Trump actually got two million more votes last year
than in twenty twenty and won every swing steam before
his election. Is Pope Lee of the fourteenth the former
Cardinal Robert Prevot shared social media posts criticizing President Trump

set asign time to allow kids.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
To read from the Bible or other religious texts.

Speaker 17 (04:56):
The go with the legislation is to affirm and protect
religious freedom.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
State Rep. David Spiller says participation would be voluntary and
families would need to opt in. The bill has already
passed the state senates.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
Another bill recently passed by the House is now on
its way to the Senate that would allow election judges
and clerks with license to carry firearms in polling locations.

Speaker 18 (05:20):
This bill would allow them to be able to do
that just like currently avented people such as law enforcement,
actual judges, prosecutors, and retire law enforcement as well.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
CJ.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
Grisham with Texas Gun Right says that there's not much
law enforcement at polling locations, especially in more rural areas,
and this bill would help make polling places less of
a soft target. After Mayor Whitmeyer announced a new contract
agreement with the Use of Police Officers Junion at Commissioner's Court,
deputies stepped up and asked county leaders for a raise

(05:50):
of their own.

Speaker 19 (05:52):
HPD's new contract would create a twenty four thousand dollars
pay gap between officers and deputies.

Speaker 20 (05:57):
We're losing deputies and a crisis is inevitable. We need
pay paraitu with HPD, and we need it now. Don't
be the one who turns you back on law enforcement.

just need to waste less. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven
forty KRH.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
HPD was supposed to launch a new thirty one million
dollar record system last month, but now it's been delayed
for at least six months, something Mayor Whittmeyer had warned
about last year.

Speaker 9 (06:36):
He's got a lot of people that are talking to
him on this as well. It gets delayed, and they
know the spotlight is on him right now to make
sure this is done right. I don't foresee any negative
ramifications or case backlogs as a result of this.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
That's retired HPD Captain Gregor Freeman, who says that this
should not lead to another suspended case scandal. The astros
were off Thursday, they opened up a weekend series at
Home against the Reds. Tonight, Live coverage on KTRH begins
at seven. I'm Eric Sharp one News Radio seven forty ktrhe.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
The most important issue, what matters to you concerns me.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
The most matters to us the US economy, not all
one k fun use Radio seven forty ktr H.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think one of the most fun things to do
is to imagine what you would do if you were
to win the lottery. What what would you do with
all that money?

Speaker 16 (07:32):
You know?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
One morning, when I was doing my morning show in
another city, I there was a local lottery winner. Somebody
won a fortune in the lottery, and I spent I realized,
this is a little bit deceitful, but I had a
lot of fun with it. I pretended I was the
one that won the lottery, and that I was. I

(07:55):
think it was like forty one million dollars. Was the
was the jackpot, and I spent the forty one million
dollars before I got off the air three hours later,
and I kept listing things that I was going to
buy with my lottery winnings until I had spent all
the money. And it was the most fun, I think,
one of the most fun things I've ever done. I
had a lot of fun spending money I didn't have

(08:16):
on things I didn't really buy. So it's always fun
to imagine what you would do if it was you,
and maybe we could all be in that position right now.
Bill Gates, he says he's going to give away his
fortune in the next twenty years, winding down his Gates
Foundation by December thirty first, twenty forty five. Now I
don't know if Bill Gates, who's going to live for

(08:37):
the next twenty years. But he says what he wants
to do, but what he doesn't want to do I
guess more properately, he doesn't want to die rich. He
wants to I mean, he doesn't want to die poor,
but he doesn't want to die rich. He wants to
see where the money goes. He wants to know the
money is helping people. Now you can argue about whether
or not Bill Gates causes are the kind of things

(08:57):
that you would like to see helped, but they've already
given away, like one hundred and eight billion dollars or
one hundred billion dollars. I guess he has another one
hundred eight billion dollars that he currently is still worth.
So with all that and is, he's got more money
than he could ever hope to figure out how to spend.

(09:19):
And he wants for nothing. So sure he can give
it away, nothing to worry about. Maybe you would give
it away too before you died. Here's my question. I'm
going to give you. I'm going to give all of
us a theoretical one hundred billion dollars. You have one
hundred billion dollars, it's yours. What are you going to
do with it? Go to the iHeartRadio ap KTRH. Please

(09:42):
make us number one hundred preset. I'll get you there
a lot quicker. I hit the talkback button. You've got
thirty seconds. First name where he's calling from. You have
one hundred billion dollars? What are you going to do
with it? Have a little fun with this five ten
time for traffic and weather together.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Buy that little lot a crust from NRG, and I'm
gonna build an exact replica of Astra World, exactly like
it was.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
All right, how much would that cost? Oh my gosh,
a hundred million? No, no, no, a couple of million.
No more than a couple million, you think really? Yep?

Speaker 3 (10:12):
See I you're going to sports tea. You've got to
figure this out. Skind Mike, You've got to figure how
much would that cost to do? Subtract that from your
one hundred billion dollars. Move on to your next project.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
So I don't have enough money to buy the Grand Parkway?
You probably don't, all right.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
I'll buy the Grand Parkway and the golf ball terry.
Let's go over here by two ninety checkout Rose Hill.
I love this little area one of the you know,
like years from now, We're all gonna be like I
remember when there was nothing on Grand Parkway between two
ninety and Rose Hill, because you know now there's nothing
between two ninety and Rose Hill. Years from now that
will change. Getting over to Tomball, we look good. Two

ways from two forty nine to the woodlandsho We're in

lot of people. Yeah, they're playing hooky today.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
I know they are.

Speaker 22 (11:21):
Friday's part of the weekend.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Sure, as far as I'm concerned it is.

Speaker 23 (11:25):
Yeah, we have a three day weekend. Every weekend. We
just started off with a little work. Well, it's not
looking too bad. We've had a little bit of rain
overnight that is on its way out. That area of
low pressure is moving eastward. I'll call it a twenty
percent chance of a shower thunderstorm for today. The big
change for us is the cooler temperatures that we have,

(11:48):
not just today, but really through the weekend. Upper seventies
to low eighties. A very comfortable day. Tonight, dry temperatures
in the sixties. Tomorrow, we do have a thirty percent
chance of some showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon.
Still comfortable upper seventies to low eighty. Sunday is even cooler,

(12:08):
sunny and dry, mid upper seventies on Mother's Day. But
after that Mother Nature starts to crank up the heat.

Morning News team.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
All the info you need.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
To take on the day, five twenty is our time
here in Houston's Morning News. So everybody thinks this is
a pretty big deal, right that we have an American
pope and first time in history. So yeah, it's kind
of a big deal that there's an American pope, Pope
Leo the fourteenth. He's from Chicago. What kind of pope
will he be? I've heard all kinds of crazy rumors

(13:00):
a here he's a Republican. Well, first of all, he's
from Chicago, so that takes down the chances of him
being a Republican rather significantly.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Number one.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Number two is we're hearing that he is he's much
in the mold of Pope Francis, his predecessor, so that
certainly would not make him a Republican. So I think
we a lot of these things that we're seeing, you
kind of have to take it with a grain of salt.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Here.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Raylan de Royo, staunch Catholic who works for Fox News,
follows all things having to do with Catholicism in Rome

ascertain about who Pope Leo the fourteenth is coming up

Speaker 5 (13:40):
I think he eats brought some roots for the bears

first to be reached since Trump unveiled those tariffs. Transportation

Speaker 24 (15:28):
Trump's terriffs. What use Radio seven k t r H.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I read something kind of interesting about the papal conclave.
You know, there's so much history behind it. It goes back.
Of course they've been picking popes. You know, they've done
too how many now, two hundred and sixty seven popes
or something that that there's certain foods that are not
allowed to eat when they're in the conclave. When they're
when they're you know, locked into the chapel, they bring

(15:56):
them food. They allowed them to sleep, but uh, they're
sutent foods, like, for example, they can't have a whole
roasted chicken. They also can't have pasta where you could
hide a note or a message. It's tradition. I guess
it happened back way back in the day that you know,
all kinds of crazy things would happen during the conclave.
They even had food testers to make sure that somebody

(16:19):
wasn't trying to poison the people voting for the pope,
you know, the cardinals. Here is Raymond de Royo talking
about Pope Leo the fourteenth. Who is this guy, what
does he stand for? What kind of a pope will
he likely be?

Speaker 25 (16:33):
We can't say that the man that he was will
necessarily be the pope that he'll be tomorrow. But here
the general outlines. You know, he's from Chicago. He's known
as more of a progressive in the church. If you
liked Pope Francis, you're gonna love Leo the fourteenth. That
would be my bumper sticker on this. Okay, he's very
much in the same model. Even in his speech there

(16:55):
at the Loggia today he said, we have to be
a sonodyl church to go out and counter and dialogue
with each other in the world, that we have to
walk with one another. That is classic Pope Francis lingo.
And I'll tell you what it means, because who knows
what sonadel means.

Speaker 22 (17:09):
They don't even know. The bishops don't even know. What
it basically means.

Speaker 25 (17:12):
Is to democratize and open up the decision making in
the church, even the practice and the doctrine.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Of the faith.

Speaker 25 (17:20):
Pope Francis believed not just bringing cardinals together to help
him shape the teaching or perfect it for the time,
but inviting everybody in, including atheists and non believers and
young people.

Speaker 22 (17:32):
And you know, a selected hand.

Speaker 25 (17:34):
Group of priests he liked, and a few other cardinals,
but not the entire college of cardinals, and part of
the result of this particular Pope will Is because Pope
Francis chose one hundred and eight of the one hundred
and thirty three electors, so you.

Speaker 22 (17:48):
Imagined it might tend this way, even.

Speaker 25 (17:50):
Though you thought, well, they're from such far flung parts
of the world, they may not be ideologically cohered. But
it turns out they may have been one of the
major that I've spoken to a couple of cardinal since
the election. Money was a big issue. Will the Church
is basically broke. The Wall Street Journal did a piece
the other day or two billion dollars in deficits four

(18:11):
hundred million dollars in pension debts that they can't pay all.
So a lot of these African cardinals and Asian cardinals
and those from other parts of the world thought, get.

Speaker 22 (18:22):
An American in here.

Speaker 25 (18:24):
They can help clean up and get the books in
order make the trains run on time.

Speaker 22 (18:28):
This guy's been working here for three years in the Vatican.

Speaker 25 (18:31):
He's head of the bishop's Dicastro Robert Privos now Leo,
so he knows a bit of the machinations here, but
he's a little bit of an outsider. So they thought
maybe he can help reform the place and at least
bring it to financial solvency.

Speaker 22 (18:46):
That's a piece of it.

Speaker 25 (18:47):
But there's a much bigger challenge for this Pope will
and that is to clarify Christian and Catholic doctrine, to
make it clear.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I never would have thought that maybe there's a business
component to this, right. The Catholic Church basically broke and
they need to balance the lecture of the books. They
have a pension problem. Even the Catholic Church has real
world problems as it relates to the business world, but
they have all these pensions they're paying out five twenty six.

(19:16):

Here's Eric Sharp, Good Morning, five p thirty one on
news Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Our top story this hour.

Speaker 6 (21:37):
The Left trying to shift again on immigration, calling on
deported illegal aliens to be allowed back into the US legally.

Speaker 28 (21:45):
Jessicav On with the Center for Immigration Study says that
is not a good idea.

Speaker 29 (21:52):
No, it's not the answer legal immigration and illegal immigration,
right now are almost like two sides.

Speaker 24 (21:58):
Of the same coin, a costly coin for the US.

Speaker 29 (22:03):
Our country simply cannot absorb that many newcomers in such
a short period of time, and we don't have strong
assimily institutions as.

Speaker 28 (22:12):
We used to have, which is part of the less
plan to change America.

Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty k TIERAG.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
On Capitol Hill this week, lawmakers shared their concerns with
the head of Homeland Security. South Texas Congressman Henry Quaar says,
we need an upgrade in border cameras, which are mostly broken, inoperable,
and running on obsolete technology.

Speaker 30 (22:36):
This old technology is like going to a car and
you fix it, and they keep coming in to fix
it up.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill includes billions for new border
wall and other improvements. That Trump administration asking the Supreme
Court to allow the President to end the Biden era
amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.

Speaker 31 (22:57):
A district court ruling keeping in place Harran parole for
half a million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela
is now being appealed to the US Supreme Court. The
Trump administration says the Lower Court nullified one of the
administration's most consequential immigration policy decisions. Attorneys for the immigrants
say the administration has an incorrect reading of the law

(23:19):
and puts vulnerable people in the country legally at risk

of around five hundred million dollars over the next few years.
Mayor John Whitmyer can work to fix this, but city
council can wind up standing in his way as well.

Speaker 33 (25:31):
I think the counselors are going to do that for
their own political game. But I also think there's certain
people that are trying to hurt Whitmyer.

Speaker 34 (25:37):
They're going to.

Speaker 33 (25:38):
Vote opposite Whitmyer just to sort of give him something.

Speaker 6 (25:42):

Today five thirty seven, our time here in Houston's morning news.

Speaker 16 (27:05):
Right.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
If you live in China Grove and you are a
Chinese nationalist citizen of China, actual citizen of Communist China,
you will no longer be able to buy a home
or run a home. The Texas legislature GOP sponsored bill
has passed a bill by a measure of eighty five

(27:28):
to sixty that would prevent hostile nations citizens of hostile
nations to the United States from purchasing or renting homes
and property here in Texas. Again, eighty five to sixty
was the vote. That would include North Korea, it would
include China, it would include Iran. You know, those are

(27:53):
the three most notable ones that it would include. The
opponent's claim that it is is racist. Of course, it's
Asian discrimination. The bill will not go on to governor
for his signature. But here's what Alice Ye of Asian

(28:14):
Texans for Justice said, quote, this is a totally racist
bill sugar coated by Homeland Security. She called it a
partisan issue against the Asian community. Gene Wu got into debate.
He's state representative, Democrat, got into a debate with a
sponsor of the bill, state Representative Cole Hefner, saying that,

(28:37):
you know, he accused the state rep of sponsoring bill
that was racist, and the response from state representation Cole
Hefner was the bill does not apply to legal permanent residents.
So if you are from China or North Korea or
Iran and your legal permanent resident, in other words, you've
been fully vetted. You can purchase a home, you can

(28:59):
run a home like anybody else can. But if you
are a citizen of those nations hostile to the United States.
You'd all longer can where's the discrimination? How many countries
in the world allow people from just anywhere to come
in and buy property and live on that property. We're
one of the few countries they give you any sort

(29:19):
of opportunity to do that. So again it goes on
to the governor's signature, and it will be on Texas
Wall my forty time for traffic and weather together.

Mother's Day weekends coming up, and it looks like Mother's
Day is going to be picture perfect this year.

Speaker 23 (30:21):
Oh yeah, you know, whatever Mom likes to do, the
weather definitely is going to cooperate. There's hardly any rain
over the weekend. The temperatures are so comfortable, and that
changes next week very quickly, So I hope you get
a chance to enjoy some time outside. Twenty percent chance
of a shower thunderstorm today, that's it. It is cooler,

(30:42):
upper seventies to low eighties. Today, we have a thirty
percent chance of some afternoon thundershowers. Tomorrow, still upper seventies
to low eighties. Sunday's even cooler. It's dry, sunny, and
highs in the mid to upper seventies. But starting Monday
and then for the next several days, not only are
we dry, but those temperatures are heating up into the

(31:03):
eighties and we could be talking about some ninety degree
readings starting Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
And here we go gurn temperature sixty eight at your
official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty ktrh. Well,
in a trade agreement would be nice too, five forty
eight our time. Yes, we have a trade agreement with
the United Kingdom. There is love between our two countries.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik on how they got the deal together.

Speaker 38 (31:30):
It does a little bit. Well, remember we had balance
trade with the UK.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
If when we do our deal with the European Union,
that is top top topic because.

Speaker 38 (31:39):
Remember the European Union's got a two hundred and fifty
billion dollar trade deficit with China and they have a
two hundred and thirty five billion trade surplus with US.
So the Chinese just go through Europe to come at us, right,
they come at us through Vietnam. You wouldn't think they
come at us through Europe, but they do. But the
Britain is really opening market five billion dollars of new

(32:03):
opportunity for Americans to export to Britain where we already
had a balanced trade. And what we did is we
helped him out. As you pointed out, we said, you
know what, you can keep your auto industry. You can
only go down to ten percent, you can keep it.
It's only one hundred thousand cars we import, and you
know we sell sixteen million cars a year, so one

(32:23):
hundred thousand's okay.

Speaker 39 (32:25):
Are you handling the freight on the European Union?

Speaker 38 (32:28):
I am, In fact, I do virtually all the countries.
Scott is obviously focused on China and he does a
few Asian countries with me.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
But basically I'm the driver of the template.

Speaker 38 (32:40):
Together with USTR, right, Ambassador.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Greer, but I'm the driver of it.

Speaker 38 (32:44):
That's why we got this deal done because we were
able to move on cars, we were able to move
on airplane parts, right, commercial airplane parts. We made a
deal and said, you know what, Rolls Royce engines can
come into America and tire free and get put on
Boeing jets.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
That's perfectly fine. And what did they turn around and do?
They turned around and announced.

Speaker 38 (33:03):
They We're going to buy ten billion dollars worth of
Boeing jets on top of that. So this is the
kind of right, kind of deal you want to do
with a country, a friends, someone who's.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Willing to open their markets. We help them.

Speaker 38 (33:14):
We're gonna sell them beef and they're going to buy
less beef from other countries. So I think that's the
way they balanced it.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
It's great for us.

Speaker 38 (33:22):
Remember five billion of new opportunity to export and six
billion dollars of new tariff revenue into the United States
of America to that external revenue service.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Here we come, here, we come, here, we come.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Okay, Supposedly the automakers are not super happy forward in
general motors that there's no tariffs on the British imports,
because they're the bit they're saying, and they've got a
point that there are vehicles that they produce through the
NAFTA deal in Mexico, for example, that are more fifty

(33:55):
percent or more American parts that are subject to tariffs. Well,
the British ones that have no American parts are no
longer subject to tariffs. Five point fifty one time for

Is boring?

Speaker 19 (36:00):
Is?

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Do you know that.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Doctor Jill and Joe were on the View for the
entire hour? Oh yeah, I mean he's trying big time
to rebuild his legacy and to deny that he has
any mental capability problems whatsoever. Here's Greg Guttfeld having some
fun with this.

Speaker 39 (36:19):
You know who just stunk up the view that Biden
joined the View this morning for the entire hour.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
The audience was caught off guard.

Speaker 39 (36:27):
But knew something was up when they saw a dozen
Secret Service agents and two embalmbers. There were a few
awkward moments, though, when it confused, Joe asked if.

Speaker 24 (36:37):
He could bid on the showcase.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
But was he surprised? Kamala lost.

Speaker 42 (36:45):
I was a surprise because they went the root of
the sexishirt all the whole roote.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
I mean, that's just a woman. She's this.

Speaker 42 (36:55):
Really, I've never seen quite as successful and consistent campaign,
undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country
and a woman of mixed race.

Speaker 43 (37:08):
Yeah, that's exactly what happened, you, lying sacket. It was
it was mixed drinks, not mixed races.

Speaker 39 (37:25):
True, though Joe may be demented, but I guess being
a conniving race baiting loon.

Speaker 24 (37:29):
Is the last thing to go.

Speaker 39 (37:31):
Biden also trash Trump, asking why he's going after people's healthcare?

Speaker 42 (37:36):
Why is he going after people's health care and social security?

Speaker 4 (37:39):
Why is he doing that? What possible reason is.

Speaker 39 (37:42):
That Joe's obviously confused, But it was worse during the break,
you know, when he kept calling whoopee regis.

Speaker 43 (37:54):
The Biden's also addressed his cognitive abilities.

Speaker 44 (37:57):
Since you left office, there have been a number of
books that have come out deeply sourced from democratic sources,
that claim in your final year there was a dramatic
decline in your cognitive abilities. What is your response to
these allegations.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Are these sources wrong? You are wrong.

Speaker 42 (38:14):
There's nothing to sustain that.

Speaker 45 (38:16):
The people who wrote those books were not in the
White House with us, and they didn't see how hard
Joe worked every single day. I mean he'd get up,
he put in a full day, and then at night
he would I'd be in bed, you know, reading my book,
and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings,

(38:38):
working with staff.

Speaker 24 (38:40):
I mean it was non stop, right, Jill.

Speaker 43 (38:46):
And you're an actual doctor, now, no one you've got
her degree off a box of frosted flakes.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Complete denial. It's a it's a feeble attempt. Feeble keyword here,
feeble attempt to rewrite history. This is the I'm going
to go around and show everybody that these books about
me are wrong. And I was a great president and
if I had, if I'd stuck in there, I would
have won. And the only reason why he didn' vote
for your Kamala is because you're ally all are sexist.

Speaker 6 (41:01):
Good morning, six h two on news Radio seven forty
ktr RANG. This news brought to you by All Star Construction.
Our top story this hour. The United States and United
Kingdom reach a trade deal Trump administration agreeing to lower
tariffs on cars, steel, and aluminum, UK agreeing to buy
American beef and ethanol. Commerce Secretary Howard Ludnik telling Fox

(41:22):
News that the deal goes further than anyone would really understand.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
This is not just a headline deal.

Speaker 38 (41:29):
This is thousands and thousands of products that are going
to unleash five billion dollars of our ability, our farmers,
our business people.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
We can now sell to the UK that we've never
been able to do before.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
A ten percent baseline tariff will remain. Trade talk sent
for this weekend between the US and China, but with
progress comes the worries of trusting the Chinese. Josh Bernbaum,
the Foundation for Dependent Democracy says that we will have
to create cooperation mechanisms, but the US holds the ace.

Speaker 8 (42:04):
China desperately needs the US markets in order to be
able to sell the types of goods that it seeks
to build. If China's planning to focus on electric vehicles
and solar panels, they're going to need the US cooperation,
which gives the US tremendous advantage in any negotiation.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Any sense.

Speaker 6 (42:20):
We need to push back on their policies like stealing
American intellectual property. Wall Street will open up with stocks.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Up this morning.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
It comes after President Trump's announcement about the framework for
that trade deal between the United Kingdom and the US
at the closing bill. Yesterday, the Dow Jones gained two
hundred and fifty four points to forty one three sixty eight,
the SP five hundred rows by thirty two to fifty
six sixty three, and then Astak gained one hundred and
eighty nine points to seventeen nine twenty eight. Defense Secretary

(42:49):
Pete Hegseth announcing you a post on true social media
that any transgender troops need to resign from service by
June sixth, or they may be removed from their positions.

Speaker 46 (43:00):
In accordance with policy now, reinstated service members who have
a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent
with gender dysphoria may elect to separate voluntarily and then
eventually involuntarily if necessary.

Speaker 6 (43:14):
This comes after a ruling from the Supreme Court this
week resulting in the band getting the green light. Former
President Biden he continues his awkward media comeback tour.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
He was on The View.

Speaker 6 (43:25):
Yesterday after doing an interview with the BBC earlier in
the week. He still seems confused, claiming that he would
have beaten Donald Trump if he stayed in the race.

Speaker 13 (43:34):
Yeah, he still got seven million fewer ooks A lot
of people didn't show up number one, number one, number two.

Speaker 14 (43:40):
They're very close in those toss up states.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
Then Trump actually got two billion more votes last year
than in twenty twenty and won every swing state. Pope
Leo the fourteenth holding his first Mass and Assistine Chapel
on Friday, The Pope asked the cardinals to express attitude
to gods.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
As we celebrate this morning.

Speaker 47 (44:03):
I invite you to recognize the marvels that the Lord
has done, the blessings that the Lord continues to pour
out upon all of us.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
He's the first North American pope to be elected. Leo
was born in Chicago and spent his career ministering in Peru.
Both President Trump and Vince President JD. Vance gave congratulations
Thursday to Pope Leo the fourteenth. There's a push in
texts to put prayer back in schools. Legislation would allow
school districts to vote on whether they want to set
aside time to allow kids to read from the Bible

(44:33):
or other religious texts.

Speaker 17 (44:35):
To go with the legislation is to affirm and protect
religious freedom.

Speaker 6 (44:40):
Stay reped David Spiller says participation would be voluntary. Families
would need to opt in. The bill is already past
the state Senates. There are multiple second amendment bills working
through the legislature right now that would allow those with
licenses to carry inside of polling places.

Speaker 48 (44:57):
There should be no reason why responsible adult should be
allowed to defend themselves. The biggest problem with preventing those
people from being able to carry with a license is
where you're leaving your gun. You're leaving in your car.
That's even more dangerous than having it on you.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
It's CJ. Grisham Texas gun rights. He says that this
would help protect polling locations in rural parts of the
state where law enforcement protection is more difficult to come by.
More problems for the HPD is the new thirty one
million dollar record system has been delayed, likely for at
least six months.

Speaker 28 (45:29):
Retired HPD captain and now doctor Greg Freeman says, this
is a big deal.

Speaker 9 (45:35):
Yes, it will be delayed, but I wanted to let
your listeners know this is again a massive infrastructure undertaking
for the police department.

Speaker 28 (45:44):
And one that Mayor Whitmeyer was warned about last August.

Speaker 9 (45:48):
You know, the mayor obviously is going to get into
it from other people, which he did, but ultimately he
makes the decision what he thinks is in the best
interest of the city and the police department.

Speaker 28 (45:56):
The deal has been extended until November for an additional
one point seven million.

oh wait our time here in Houston's Born News. I
never acquired a taste for pop tarts, so so I
say that right up front as a disclaimer here, I'm
I'm not looking at this is a good thing. I'm
pretty sure sky Mike is gonna have a different take

(46:40):
on this. But pop Tarts has decided they are going
to expand Kelenova, which is the para company Kellogg's, the
parent company of They also make Pringles and rice Crispies
and cheese It's and pop Tarts. Yeah, all the healthy
food made by this company. Says that pop Tarts is
going to get involved with ice cream with pints of

(47:05):
pop Tart flavors and pop Tart ice cream sandwiches. You
know where you have I guess two pop tarts and
in between you have ice cream. You make an ice
cream You could do that now, right. All you have
to do is take some ice cream and put it
between two pop tarts and you've got it now. But
the ice cream sandwiches will be available in three flavors,

(47:27):
frosted brown sugar, cinnamon, frosted strawberry, and frosted chocolate fudge.
The pints will be available and frosted brown sugar, cinnamon,
frosted strawberry, and frosted s'mores flavors. Not sure when, Oh,
they'll be available sometime this month at Walmart, followed by

(47:50):
the release of ice cream pints later this year. So
the sandwiches will be the first out sometime this month,
available at Walmart, and then the pints will follow later
this summer six'. Ten time for traffic and weather. Together
it's all good to me looking at the ingredients from pop.
Parts you have this just screams. Nutrition does it have
a lot of really long science? Words, terry you know

informed ON Us radio seven FORTY.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Ktrh, well As i've said, Before i'm not A, catholic
BUT i am fascinated by the history and the pomp
and the circumstance of picking a, pope the, conclave the pope,
itself how the pope decides what name he is going to.
Use joining us to talk about this New, Pope leo the.

(53:24):
Fourteenth Jonathan, Siins president Of Texas values In American, jonathan
what do you make of?

Speaker 40 (53:29):
That, well, LOOK i talked to you all about this
earlier in the, week AND i don't remember exactly WHAT i.
SAID i was trying to remember for, sure BUT i
KNOW i made some comment about it was very, UNLIKELY i.
SAID i THINK i, said if there's a possibility it
could be a pope from The United, states very Slim
and apparently you know that was.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
True i'm just having some fun with.

Speaker 40 (53:52):
It It's, look this is the biggest story of the
week and across the, world if not for you, know
the next few, weeks for a lot litle bit of time.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Here it is. Historic this is the first.

Speaker 40 (54:03):
Pope ever from The United, states AND i think there's
gonna be a lot of excitement and a lot of
interest about. THAT i, mean we As, americans the place
that The United states plays on the world, stage if you.
Will and we also know with The president now who
Is america? First he talks about that a. Lot there's
a lot of attention around our. Country but you, KNOW

(54:24):
i talked about this earlier in the. Week The Catholic
church is experiencing a surge and new people Becoming, catholic
whether they're being born into it or they're deciding later in.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Life and SO i.

Speaker 40 (54:35):
Don't know what went on all to the decision or
the selection Of Robert francis previous now taking the Name
popolio the, Fourteenth but you, know it's really. INTERESTING i
do think it's exciting for people like yourself that Are
catholic and Not. Catholic and you, know it's a lot
being written About poblio fourteenth already from WHAT i can,

(54:57):
tell you, know a lot of his the things that
he has, said goes right along With catholic. TEACHING i
don't know how you distinguish him from Between Pope. Francis you,
know a lot of people don't Realize Pope francis talked
a lot about the pro life, issue talking about his
support of the dignity of life and opposing, abortion and there's.
All there's already people reporting That puppully of the fourteenth

(55:20):
has made similar. Statements He's pupully of the fourteenth has
made similar statements about rejecting gender ideology and and things
of that, nature which we know is very active in
our culture now and sort of a part of elections
and politics and discussion online and in social media and
just when people. Interact but you, know there's also reports

(55:42):
that he's disagreed With President trump on immigration.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
Policies that's not a.

Speaker 40 (55:48):
SURPRISE i mean that you see that a lot from
The catholic, hierarchy even, though but there's reports that he's
you know That pupully of the fourteenth has been registered
as A democrat a while, back more reach as A.
Republican so he's obviously active in his voting, life which is.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Encouraging, okay he Said democrat And repubs a, rhino.

Speaker 40 (56:13):
You, Know, NO i, mean, well, look you, know the
most recent history was, that you, know according to the
news reports that he voted in The republican.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Primary BUT i, mean you, look we'll see people do,
that right.

Speaker 40 (56:24):
That were you, know sometimes they'll Vote democrat and then
maybe later in life they Vote. Republican but but the reality,
is you, know let's, SEE i, mean we don't we
don't know for sure how how he's going to conduct.
Himself my point is that these are things that are
indicative of a lot of people that are in authority
positions in The Catholic, church very strong on pro life,

(56:47):
issues rejecting the gender, ideology but seeing a you, know
looking for a more compassionate, approach if you, will to
the issue of, immigration but also very strong devotion to the.
FAITH i, mean He hope of the fourteenth was a
missionary In, PERU i think for two, decades.

Speaker 36 (57:07):
And you, know we get.

Speaker 40 (57:08):
Caught you, know there's a lot of discussion about these,
issues AND i think they're important that you AND i
talk a lot. About but the main role is to
lead the faith and to stay close to The bible In,
christ in The Catholic church and its. Teachings and you,
KNOW i think the selection Of Pope leo the fourteenth
is the name that he's, taken.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
Usually someone who's got a deep history in The Catholic.
Church there's no.

Speaker 12 (57:33):
Doubt.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
Yeah usually you can use qualified, It yeah you.

Speaker 3 (57:35):

of what they believe their mission to be based on

leave it to, Me but evidently that's not going to
be the. CASE i don't know if he's set something
up for the kids or. Not IF i, WOULD i
would think he probably did set something. Up but here's the.
Question if you had like one hundred billion, Dollars this
just rounded down to something we can all work. With
it's it's fun to play the game if you had
one hundred billion dollars and how would you spend. It

(01:06:22):

easier to get. To it's like hitting the button on
your on your car. Radio, Boom we're right. THERE i

Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
Seven on eight our. Time here In Houston's Morning. News
SO i see this story IN usa. Today here's the,
Headline my mom died of. Suicide HOW i learned to
talk about it kind of got my attention because talking
about death and dying is never an easy thing to,
do which is why we've come up with so many
different words to describe death that don't say. Dead So

(01:25:33):
i'm reading the, story and she said when my mom,
died AND i first shared the, NEWS i, said she committed.
Suicide AS i tried to explain the, UNEXPLAINABLE i used
the PHRASE i had heard most of my. LIFE i
didn't think about, It it just came. Naturally but THEN
i thought about. It saying suicide can suggest a criminal
intent and can further stigmatize suicide and mental health. Issues

(01:25:56):
it can imply that someone did something wrong and keep
more people from talking about the potential for harming. Themselves
in some places in our, history suicide was once considered a.
Crime so she doesn't use the word. Anymore. Suicide and you,
know it is very very rare if you were to
read a bit in a publication for somebody who, passed you,

(01:26:20):
know most of the, Time i've rarely have ever seen suicide.
Listed you, know sometimes you can get a clue by
where the you, know if they're asking for donations for
mental health or what have. You but you never hear
anybody say that in a newspaper. Article i'm not quite sure.
WHY i GUESS i guess the stigma remains attached to,

(01:26:41):
it just like the stigma remains attached to the word.
Dead that's why we've come up with so many different
words for.

Speaker 19 (01:26:46):
It.

Speaker 3 (01:26:47):
Expired who decided that would be a good word to
use instead? Dead, well he's? Expired what do you? Mean
the freshness labels out a?

Speaker 4 (01:26:56):
Day what do you? Mean? Expired past that?

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
One all the? Time past? Past what past were to
use for? Gas not for? Dying eternal, sleep final, rest
exited this? World we lost? HER i love that. One
we lost? Her where did you lose? Her you lose
her at the grocery? Store what do you mean you lost? Her,

(01:27:20):
oh she's. Dead why do we have such a hard
time saying that? Word i've never quite figured that. Out you,
know we come off with all these other. WORDS i,
mean the result is the, same the feeling is the.
Same you don't soften the, blow really by using these different.
Words why not just, say like it is seven to,
ten time for traffic and weather, together bought the. Farm

Out but the first step is, meeting and that's a big.

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
One, Okay Just china have that kind of time because
we're seeing a lot of reports, about you know what
a teter's position that their economy is in right. Now
they're closing down, factories they're sending people home who are not.
WORKING i would guess that this whole trade war thing
is quite at least at this, point is a lot
tough around them than it is on.

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
Us it absolutely.

Speaker 8 (01:33:38):
Is the urgency on their side must be, tremendous and
that gives The United states tremendous leverage in those. Negotiations
but there's also a lot that needs to, change and
at the base of the negotiations is the need For
china to rebalance its economy away from the state and towards.
Consumers and that's a difficult bask for A chinese communist
party that's built its country around supporting the.

Speaker 4 (01:33:59):
State, yeah that's for.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
SURE i guess the other part of it this is
going to be, very very difficult from our point of,
view is. Trust we don't have a lot of trust In.
China they've made deals, before and they generally break the
deal right after they make the. Deal so they can
promise all they want about not stealing intellectual property and
leveling the playing, field but that doesn't mean that's going to.

Speaker 8 (01:34:20):
Happen that's absolutely, right and one thing that we see
from this administration is that they're willing to switch on
a dime as. Well SO i think that there is
a situation where the trust needs to be built with over,
time and If china doesn't hold, up it's into the.
BARGAIN i IMAGINE tars.

Speaker 4 (01:34:39):
Will go right back into.

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
Place, josh what would be a reasonable, expectation what do
you think we should look to try to accomplish with The.
Chinese we're probably never going to get to the point
are we where we are on equal, footing where it's
a level playing completely level playing, field Where china is
importing as much from us as we're. Importing from them
or in your, mind is that a reasonable goal to
try to.

Speaker 8 (01:35:00):
Achieve i'm not sure that that's the end state that
we're ever going to get, to and it's certainly not
where we're going in the negotiations to get to a
total balanced. Trade the problem is That china's structured right
now so that it must export in order to, survive
and that's got to change structurally for The chinese. Economy
As Scott, bess The Treasury, secretary, Said china needs that

(01:35:22):
as much as we. Do their economy is simply not
sustainable and they're going to need to find a pathway
to a more sustainable and balanced. Growth in the short,
TERM i expect that to be that the trade comes
into greater, balance but it's not going to be fully
balanced for probably a.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
Decade, YEAH i wouldn't think, so, Okay and a quick
thought if you would on the deal with The United.
Kingdom we had a pretty even trade partner with The
United kingdom to Begin when it sounds like the biggest
news that seems to be CONCERNING us automakers is the
deal to allow one hundred THOUSAND uk vehicles into this
country without paying an additional Terror, WELL i think.

Speaker 8 (01:35:58):
THAT uk is a strong economic partner and has been four,
decades AND i think it's. Important the big picture here
is that getting greater alliance with partners like THE uk
With india allows us to have better leverage against countries Like,
china and so it's important that those deals are. Happening
with respect to specific, industries there's always going to be

(01:36:20):
benefits and, harms but we are strong proponents of free
trade and to the extent that we can support an,
ally we should.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):

case there is a good. Guy he's our next. Guest
Harris County precinct Three Commissioner tom, ramsay and there is
a bad. Guy It's Lena hildago and it's it's the typical,
argument is it, Not Commissioner, here we have a situation
WHERE hbd has gotten a much deserved. Raise Harris County

(01:52:46):
Sheriff's office, Says, HEY i think it's our turn now
we need a much deserved. Raise Lenahill dago says, sure
But i'm gonna have to raise. Taxes and of course
your answer to raising taxes to give them a raise IS.

Speaker 12 (01:53:01):
I think we need to.

Speaker 53 (01:53:02):
Focus on statue tool responsibilities and if we would do,
that we would address a.

Speaker 12 (01:53:08):
Lot of wasteful.

Speaker 53 (01:53:08):
Spending and that's one thing That Judge vildalgo does not
want to talk, about does not want to. Acknowledge and
that was really the debate. Yesterday it's really two different
ways of looking at the. Issue Number, ONE i congratulate
The city Of Houston Mayor whitmire.

Speaker 4 (01:53:26):
And giving those increases TO.

Speaker 53 (01:53:29):
Hpd they've set a great new standard in this county
for law. Enforcement we need to. Respond we had sheriffs
deputies there to remind us that they've waited patiently for many.
Years now it's time that we address. IT i totally
agreed with. It and the pushback From judfildalgo is he

(01:53:53):
brings up the story of WHEN i refuse to come
to court because they wanted to raise a lot of
money through taxes and she wouldn't.

Speaker 12 (01:54:04):
Tell me what it was.

Speaker 53 (01:54:05):
For she says that she'll spend it on law, enforcement
But i'm not believe in. It and at this, point
if we'll focus on a wastefle, spending get that under,
control we'll have plenty of money to take care of the.

Speaker 3 (01:54:22):
Raises, well and you brought ME i was gonna say
you brought Up Mayor whitmyer is a prime. Example he's
got seven billion dollar budget that they have wiped out their.
Deficit they have rearranged, departments they have they've done the
heavy lifting and the hard work to balance the. Budget
The city Of houston has a balanced. Budget why Can't
Harris county do the.

Speaker 53 (01:54:41):
Same, well we'll have a balanced, budget but it'll be
balanced on the backs of law. Enforcement and that's that's
not what we should.

Speaker 22 (01:54:50):
Do he did it.

Speaker 53 (01:54:52):
Right he did it the hard. Way he did The
he rolled up his sleeves and got in the middle of.
It the easy way to to do it is What
Lena hildalgo wants to. Do she just wants to go
to the credit, card get more money through, taxes and raise.
It she doesn't want to do the hard work of,
elimonading the wasteful spending of Access harris twenty five, Million

(01:55:17):
County administrator's office twenty five, million consulting firms over fifty.
MILLION i can get to one hundred and forty one,
million which is what it would take to fund the
sheriff's deputies and the cospels a. Hundred we can get
to one hundred and forty one. Million pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:55:34):
Easy, YEAH i was going to, say it really. Is
that's what's shameful about. It it's not that. Hard all
you'd have to do is it's not that hard to
find fraud and waste In Harris. County it really.

Speaker 53 (01:55:44):
Isn't, Yeah, jimmy you AND i could get and run
about fifteen minutes we get to one hundred and forty.
One it wouldn't be.

Speaker 3 (01:55:49):
