From the John Morris Services studios.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Well, good morning, five am is our time here in
Houston's morning News. I'm Jimmy Barrett. Among our top stories
this half hour, calling on Texas Democrats or calling out,
I should say, Texas Democrats for not going far enough
on bail reform, the White House not worried about Elon,
calling Trump's bill an abomination, and coming up at about
five oh eighth this morning, some of the sounds of

(00:40):
your childhood. Do you remember any of these sounds? We'll
see what sounds you remember, what sounds you'd like to
add to our list. First though, let's check out the
drive for the first time this morning. Hey, SKYMIKEE dude,
Southwest the freeway?

Speaker 4 (00:50):
All right?

Speaker 5 (00:51):
How fast are the tow trit ninjas this morning? In
the minute that our top of the hour thing went
sh ktr rah and all that business in that time,
all the way to your intro booth, they got that
Southwest Freeway stall out of their hooked up gone. I've
got a bit of a smudge northbound. Stay the course,
that'll be gone in minutes. Let's check your ship channel bridges.
I just want to see the pretty camera shots in

(01:12):

B Resorts dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
From r KTRH pop Tax Defenders twenty four hour weather

storms with the high temperature today right about ninety. We'll

Radio seven forty KTRH dive down for the news. Here's

(01:38):
Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
Thank you, Jimmy. Good morning everyone.

Speaker 7 (01:40):
Five OHO one on KTRHR top story this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
People are being slaughtered.

Speaker 8 (01:45):
In Harris County by people that government already has confined
and then released.

Speaker 7 (01:51):
Governor Greg Abbott in Houston signing bail reform into law,
but Joscelyn's Law and nine for murdered Houston girl Joscelyn
Nungeray was not part of this.

Speaker 9 (02:01):
I want the voters to call their Democrat members and
say where are those Democrats to not stand for the
crime victims in this.

Speaker 7 (02:11):
County, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, singling out Houston State Rep.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Gene Wu.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
The governor has not yet indicated what he will do
with the bill that passed to keep Texas on daylight
saving time. He's also been noncommittal on the statewide ban
on THCHC rice is Mark Jones.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
There's a reason for that.

Speaker 10 (02:30):
The governor is under very strong pressure, primarily from business
owners and their circuits who see their eight billion dollar
business going down the drain.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
With a b.

Speaker 7 (02:42):
Opponents of that band delivered one hundred thousand letters to
the state capitol asking for a veto this week five
h three on KTRH.

Speaker 11 (02:51):
The President already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill.
It doesn't change the president's opinion. This is one big,
beautiful bill, and he's sticking to it.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
White House Press Secretary Caroline and Levitt, responding to Elon
Musk's latest criticism of the President's budget agenda. In other words,
this is not the big deal the mainstream media wants
you to think it is. The President, though, feels differently
about Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's opposition to this and you
will hear what Trump posted on truth Social last night

(03:19):
and five point thirty as Republicans want to look at
the cover up of Joe Biden's failing cognitive health and
the use of the auto pendj though is already investigated, a.

Speaker 12 (03:30):
Senior Trump administration official says Ed Martin, the Justice Department's
pardon attorney is reviewing pardons granted in former President Biden's
final days in office, including for his son Hunter Biden,
who was convicted on federal gun charges and pled guilty
to federal tax charges. The official citing concerns about whether
the former president was making these decisions or whether unelected
staffers took advantage of him.

Speaker 7 (03:51):
Kristin Goodwin reporting there five ho four down borders our
Tom Homan is putting Democrats on blasts for their anti
ICE rhetoric with a chilling warning.

Speaker 13 (04:02):
A lot of our Congression representatives who are vilifying Ice
on the board charg day they're driving this hey, and
I'm telling you this only a matter of time before
there's an incident where an ICE agent won't have to
take a life, or an ICE agents won't lose a life.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Holman on Fox Now, the mainstream media keeps playing their games.
As The Washington Post calls the drop in fentanyl seizures
at the border quote mysterious. It's clearly because Trump stopped
illegals in illegal drugs from coming in.

Speaker 14 (04:31):
They're trying to say the mystery, trying to give credit
any place else. Like some cases they're giving China the
credit for cracking down on the precursor chemicals and sometimes
even giving credit to the cartel, saying, oh, they're too
busy fighting each other to try to make these journeys
across the border.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
Nick Vondacaro at the Media Research Center says they don't
want to acknowledge the obvious five ZHO five fireworks. At
a Senate hearing yesterday to look into threats made against
federal judges.

Speaker 15 (04:56):
I will give my colleague from New Jersey a chance
to just answer a simple yes no question. Should the
Biden Justice Department have enforced the criminal law against protesting
at a justice's home?

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yes or no?

Speaker 15 (05:09):
So let the record reflect that that Spartacus did not
answer the question.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
Yeah Booker instead, Corey Booker. That is when on a
rant about President Trump, you'll remember protesters targeted Supreme Court
Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home before the Dobbs decision came out
overturning Roe v.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
Wade.

Speaker 7 (05:27):
Speaking of Kavanaugh and the High Court, it is June,
meaning we are waiting on rulings in several high profile cases.

Speaker 16 (05:35):
And just like over the last few years, there are
going to be some big decisions.

Speaker 17 (05:40):
Absolutely, I think we have some major cases.

Speaker 16 (05:42):
That's Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network. Some
of the big cases include gender procedures for minors and
birthright citizenship. But even with six to three advantage, the
justices don't always rule the way conservatives want them to
question are.

Speaker 18 (06:00):
These judges behaving like politicians?

Speaker 16 (06:03):
We will find out by the end of the month.
Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven forty kyt rees sevar.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
Reino's going to join Jimmy at six twenty, and the
High Court is expected to release opinions tomorrow five h six.
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area off the
southeast coast for potential tropical development. There's nothing in the
Gulf of America that they're looking at right now, and
with everything quiet, their experts say, now is a good

(06:29):
time to look at your homeowner's insurance and make sure
you have coverage.

Speaker 19 (06:33):
Flood insurance is the only one that you need to
just look out for. It does have a thirty day
waiting period, so if you buy it today, it does
not go into effect for thirty days.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
In other words, you can't wait until there's something in
the Gulf in order to get insurance, which Johnson with
the Insurance Council of Texas has the average flood insurance
policy nationwide costs about seven hundred bucks last year. The

App five All in our time Here in Houston's morning
news right. This is gonna feel like old days right here.
This is a fun story. It's fun. It's it's as
you get older's fun to reminisce, isn't it? To things
that you remember from your childhood that no longer exist?
And anybody over the age of thirty, I think, can

(07:53):
remember back to things. Sounds they heard, things you heard
in your childhood, the sound that you heard in your
childhood that you don't hear anymore, like, for example, a fluck,
a floppy disc. If you remember those, a floppy disc
being read in your computer, that the distinct noise that
that would make, the clink of metal seat belts, the

(08:14):
seatbelt buckles and cars that used to be metal. You
remember that anytime you get on board an airplane because
the seat belts on airplanes they still have the metal buckles,
but they don't have the metal buckles in the cars anymore.
The rewinding of a cassette. What that sounded like? What's
a cassette? Mister Barrett? You go see what at the Smithsonian.

(08:37):
The squeaky sound of the aim chat door opening up
when a friend logged in. Remember that you've got mail
a host asking this is a good one.

Speaker 6 (08:48):
A smoke.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
A host asking at a restaurant if you wanted smoking
or non smoking?

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Do you want to be in the smoking section or
the or the non smoking section? Of course, your non
smoking table was right next to the smoking section, so
it really didn't matter that much, did it. How about
the phone recording that said, if you'd like to make
a call, please hang up and try again. If you
need help, hang up and then dial your operator operator.

(09:17):
So what what?

Speaker 19 (09:18):
What?

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Sound? Or or or I guess sound is the best
way to put it. What what sounds? Do you remember?
Sound do you remember from your childhood that just no
longer exists? You go to the iHeartRadio ap ktr H,
put us number one on your preset talk back button.
First aime where you're calling from? And that sound you
remember from your childhood or your young adulthood that no

Speaker 2 (25:39):
More With Jimmy barrett and The Houston Morning news. Teams
this Is Houston's morning News. Man it's the latest thing
The blues about A texas. Flood five point thirty Eight
our time here In Houston's Warning. News All, right which
is do you think the biggest detriment to buying a
home In texas right? Now is it the interest? Rates

(26:03):
or is it the high cost of homeowners insurance that
continues to rise much higher than? Inflation, NO i know it's.
Both but if you had to pick, one which do
you think is the bigger? DETERMENT i think it. Depends
here's WHAT i. Think first of, all the average cost
of a flood insurance policy In, texas if you average
the entire, state seven hundred eighty three, dollars which is

(26:26):
actually slightly lower than the national. Average of eight hundred
eighty eight, dollars but the cost depends very much on
where you. Are you're not going to pay seven hundred
and eighty three dollars for a flood insurance. Policy if
you live In freeport Or, galveston you're going to pay
somewhere between thirteen fourteen hundred dollars up to thirty five

(26:49):
hundred Dollars mine And freeport three thousand. Dollars AND i
think that is the biggest part of why home sales
are just really quiet right now on The Texas Gulf
coast is first of, all you've got a glut of
homes that are for sale for a variety of, reasons
insurance costs being one of these. Reasons that always drives
down the. Price and you have a lot of people

(27:11):
who can't afford to keep up the, insurance the flood,
insurance and if there's a mortgage on the place they're
going to make you have flood, insurance you're going to
have to do. It so people are getting out and
that's a problem for the rest of the. State homeowner's
insurance policy in. General for the last couple of, years
it's been up in average about twenty four, Percent so

(27:32):
that's you, know we may be able to afford, it
but we don't like. It but there's a lot of
young people out there looking to buy real, estate who
would like to buy their first oh maybe who take
a look at that is you combine that with the
interest rates they have to, pay and they just can't
afford the monthly.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Payment so it's a. Problem i'm not sure how we
fix the. Problem of, course the only way to fix the,
problem generally, speaking is supplying. Demand we need more people
in the insurance game selling insurance. Policies but the reality
is that in places Like, texas we have companies who
have pulled out or at least have pulled out of
certain categories or maybe pulled out of providing new insurance

(28:06):
policies for people who have not been with them, before
and that makes it tougher to find a, policy and
therefore their fewer policies and, therefore, yeah you pay.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
More you get the idea of.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Five forty time for traffic in weather together as we
check in again With.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Forty, ktrh yeah we're hanging on for Some Important supreme
court decisions coming out. This month six. Twenty three now
Here In Houston's, Forting News kerrie sevarino joins as president
Of The Judicial. Crisis, network well there's a lot of
them to. Go over but if you had to rank
them one, through nine what would be number one on?

Speaker 4 (52:39):
Your?

Speaker 18 (52:39):
List oh, YOU know i think Maybe this scurmetti case
that's coming Out of tennessee and that's going to have a.
Huge impact it has to Do with. Tennessee's law other
states have this kind of law, as well protecting miners
who have think they may be transgender but are being
encouraged to life, altering treatments whether it's hormone blockers. Or

(53:00):
surgery and it says you have to wait till you're at,
least eighteen so that if these kids change, their mind
they haven't made a. Permanent DECISION and i think that's
so important because so many states are running into.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
This, issue yeah Could The supreme court also say that
it would be okay for miners to, have this but
they have to have. Parental permission.

Speaker 18 (53:19):
It's possible that they'll go down that route that doesn't
seem the direction they. WERE saying i think the idea
is this is such a long term thing that no
one can say that that's okay for a kid at,
that age just because so many children do change their
minds after a period.

Speaker 19 (53:36):
Of.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Confusion, yeah absolutely, all right HERE'S what i would write
next on. The list how about the nationwide injunction birthright.
Citizenship issue.

Speaker 18 (53:43):
That's, huge absolutely that probably should have been.

Speaker 12 (53:47):
Number.

Speaker 18 (53:47):
One no that because there are so many issues now
that we're running into. With courts, for really just in,
recent decades the first Time in american history that the
courts have been blocking not just to parties be. The,
case obviously if you go before the court and you have,
a lawsuit they can have an order that says you
can't keep on doing whatever it is to the, other person,

(54:07):
you know. In perpetuity but to go beyond that and
say not only in, this case not only can the
government not Enforce The President's Birthright Citizenship executive order as
to the states that, are suing or citizens of, those
states or illegal immigrants in this case in, no states
but in the. Entire country and that really goes. PRETTY

(54:28):
far i think, the Court the justice is we're looking
for a way to have a workable line that they
can draw around that, To, say okay this is when
you can and cannot have. An injunction because they want
to have a rule that's going to be applied. Even
handedly because we've seen, so much as, you know non
even handed court application. Of laws they want to be able, to,

(54:49):
say okay let's cabin this in so neither side gets
the advantage of.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
These injunctions here's ANOTHER one I find i. FIND huge
i don't know if. You do mexico's lawsuit against. Gun
companies it goes back To the. Agel question who's responsible
for criminal activities with? A weapon is it the person
who's holding the weapon or is it the company of
the manufacturer of. The weapon and, to me that's a pretty.
Clear case but, you know this could decide whether OR

(55:13):
not us gun companies even stay in business if they
become liable for what, criminals do like the Cartels in mexico,
for example with. Their weapons if they somehow become liable,
for that that pretty much puts them out, of business.

Speaker 18 (55:25):
Doesn't, It yeah and this has been a strategy that
advocates of gun control will put it in a. Nice
way opponents of gon ownership have been using this Strategy
in america for a. Long time it's interesting that they
got the Government of mexico to join in and try
to sue these manufacturers based on. ORAL arguments i think
it's Likely The supreme court Doesn't let mexico bring, that

(55:47):
lawsuits so that is, a release but it's it's still
a troubling development that you've got nations attempting to do
this kind.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
Of thing and of course.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
There's many more that we don't have time to do,
right NOW but i do want to quickly ask you.
About this i've been we need to talk to you
to ask you. About This the Department of justice seems
like they are not willing to let go of the
idea that somebody leaked information From The supreme court on
the decision That overturned.

Speaker 9 (56:12):
Roe.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
V wade and they're not satisfied with the fact that
supposedly they didn't find whoever. Was responsible Should they do you?
Believe that first, of all do you believe the justices
know who? Leaked it and, if so do we need
to know who?

Speaker 6 (56:27):
Leaked?

Speaker 18 (56:27):
IT well i think they have said before they have
a very, strong suspicion But As justice leito, put it
it's not, enough to, you know convince that. Person effectively
so they have a. GOOD sense i think the important
thing is that a true investigation, is DONE and i
think there's a lot of concerns that there was not enough,
done frankly where the trail was fresh to figure. This

(56:50):
out the big thing is to make sure people understand
this type of shenanigan is, not rewarded and unfortunately we
have seen other leaks not of that magnitude from. The
CORE and i think it's important for everyone working at,
the court from the justices on down to the clerks
on down to everyone there to realize how important this.
It is could this put justices lives at serious risk

(57:11):
and led to an assassination Plot Against. Justice kavanaugh we
need to be protecting, our justices, All.

Speaker 6 (57:16):

Some meat six thirty eight is our time Here In Houston's.
MORNING news i can't think of is there any kind
OF meat i?

Speaker 6 (01:05:11):
Don't? LIKE no i, LIKE beef i. Like chicken what
ELSE do i need? To know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Beef in, All's forms but it's still. Getting expensive but
here's what's interesting about this, to me because although inflation
is cooled in a lot, of areas especially as relates,
to food it is not cooled as far as. Meat
prices meat is predicted to continue. To rise beef and
veal price is predicted to increase at least six point
six percent this year and could go as high as over.

(01:05:43):
Twelve percent increases attributed to tight supplies strong. Consumer demand,
in fact meat is meat sales are up over thirteen
percent from the same time last year at least it
was going Into The memorial. Day weekend so we are still.
Demanding meat we still like to, eat it we still
want to, eat it and we're paying the higher. Prices

(01:06:05):
now we may be changing the kind of cuts, we
buy but we're still. Buying it average price of one
percent ground beef got up to five dollars eighty Cents.
In april that's thirteen percent higher than it was twelve.
Months previously Wholesale choice ribby steaks we're nine to seventy
five per pound at the End of april twenty, twenty
four but got his high as four eighteen per pound

(01:06:27):
in the same week, this year so there's a big.
Increase there wholesale strip loins ten seventy two per pound
this year compared to nine twenty eight per pounds. Last
year tight supplies the biggest culprit cattle herds, Have shrunk
they have not. Caught up demand, remains high, in fact
is even a little bit higher and it's always about supply.

(01:06:48):
And demand as long as the demand is there and
the supply can't, meet it then the prices will continue.
To rise sake forty time for traffic and. Weather together

Speaker 44 (01:24:56):
White house of the opinion that the only pardon that

Speaker 6 (01:25:01):
Signed himself it's, very interesting very.

Speaker 11 (01:25:04):
Interesting props if you want to bring them to my
office LATER so i can take a, CLOSER look i
would like to. Do That the president is making a
good point when he discusses the usage of. The autopen
who was running the country for the past. Four years
perhaps those documents were signed with the autopen something THAT
this i Believe the Department of justice is looking into

(01:25:25):
as you Saw ed martin made an announcement At the
Department of justice this morning to launch an investigation Because
the american people.

Speaker 6 (01:25:31):
Deserve answers is.

Speaker 44 (01:25:33):
There any concern that, this president who won the election
on a problems to fix the economy and close, the
border that focusing and Scrutinizing these biden pardons is looking
into the past instead of.

Speaker 4 (01:25:45):
LOOKING forward, i.

Speaker 11 (01:25:46):
Think in comparison to the amount of time this president
has spent on securing, the border on fixing, OUR economy
i just read out for you an entire list of accomplishment.
Economic accomplishments look at the, border numbers look at the
time and effort he's divulged into solving the global. Conflicts
abroad it pales, in comparison but, it's, still nevertheless is
a very, important issue and it was a huge issue

(01:26:07):
that Sent the president back To This. White house americans
saw with their own eyes a mentally, incompetent president and
they want answers, for that And the president believes they.

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
Should have and in, other words none, of this, you
know looking into the autopen situation hasn't slowed down anything
That The president trump. Is doing It's the Department of
justice is looking into all this when you get right down,
to It Not president. Trump, HIMSELF yeah i think we need.
To know we need to know how many things that
were Signed by biden were legitimately Signed by biden or

(01:26:35):

The Houston morning news team all the info you need
to take on, the day seven.

Speaker 6 (01:29:28):
Twenty one this is.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
Our time You're On Houston's morning news on news radio
seven FORTY. K trh did you HEAR What JP, Morgan's
Ceo jamie diamond said about stockpiling GUNS and ammo and.
Not bitcoin we're going to Talk To, sean Timmins retired,
army Captain And jack Lawyer and houston attorney, about this,
but first in case you didn't hear the full context
of what he, said here it is there's an.

Speaker 45 (01:29:49):
Expanding intersection between industrial policy in this country and, national
security which sort of gets what you're talking about some
of these, different industries and it's spanning the last couple.
Of administrations everybody devil's in the details in terms in
terms of how the policies shake out. Across ADMINISTRATIONS but
i guess to, that point do we need to rethink
what constitutes? NATIONAL security i wouldn't.

Speaker 25 (01:30:12):
Rethink it we know it constitution. National security we need,
YOU know i was saying we shouldn't be. Stockplaying bitcoin
we should be, stockplying, guns, bullets, tanks, planes drones, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:30:22):
Rare earth we know we need. To do it's not
a mystery do you? SAY stockingcoin i said.

Speaker 25 (01:30:28):
We shouldn't be stockplaying it shouldn't be stockplaying bullets like,
you know the military guys tell, you that, you know
if there's a war In The, south, china see we
have missiles for. Seven, days okay, COME on i mean
we can't say that with a trade face and think.
That's okay so we know what. To do we just
got to now go about.

Speaker 6 (01:30:45):
Doing it there.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
You go let's Talk To, sean Timmins retired army CAPTAIN
and jag Lawyer In. Houston attorney what do you think
About What jamie? Diamond, Said, SEWAN well i think.

Speaker 40 (01:30:54):
He left the secret out of the bag that the
deep state wants a massive War with, china too which
Is Unfortunate damie. Diamond is you can't get More deep states.
Than him as far as the CHAIRMAN and Ceo Of Chase,
morgan bank the number one global blomber and banking institution
with significant contracts WITH the, US government I Mean, Jp
morgan chase AND the us government are almost interlinked with

(01:31:16):
the military contracts and billions of dollars and, war Funding
And jamie diamonds making it very clear that he Doesn't like.
Bitcoin personally he thinks it's a. Pondee scheme he's called
It the pondee Scheme, Before Obviously president trump and the
current administration disagree with that assessment and are promoting bitcoin
as a financial freedom and opportunity for, you know. Financial,

(01:31:39):
Independence However JAMIE dimond i Think And joe biden will
working to maybe probably outlaw bigcoin and cancel it and
try to zero it out to make a criminal and
that's probably If the democrats get back in. The power
what they're plan to do is try to zero bitcoin
out so they can have more power and control and
the decentralization of. Financial independence they, want tracking they, want

(01:32:00):
monitoring they want they want power. And control so bitcoin offers,
independent freedom which is scary to play People Like. Namian
diamond they run big banking institutions that rely on government
intervention and, government bailouts. Government assistance but more scary than
Anything Is staman diamond's basically forecasting almost rooting for War.
With china there's people in the administration who are rooting

(01:32:21):
for War with russia and War with iran and War with,
china simultaneously and that Would Be WORLD war iii by.
ANY definition i think it's. Very Scary, senator graham Who's
encouraging ukraine to escalate the Conflict with russia and encouraging
us To bomb iran and the start a War. With
china all at the. Same time there are elements of
neo cons within their conservative establishment that would love to

(01:32:44):
have a War, with iran love to have War, with
china love to have War. WITH russia i don't personally
see them volunteering to sign up for, the military although
if War with iran were, To happen i'm sure we
would win and be. Very successful i'm just concerned about
the fact that we're actively promoting war at the Same
Time president trump is actively promoting peace and, trying to,

(01:33:06):
you know resolve global. Trade imbalances trade would be massively
imbalanced if we start massive wars around.

Speaker 6 (01:33:12):
The, world yeah they.

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
SURE would i, wonder if, you know If the president
understands what's going on behind the scenes with. These people
i'm sure that he. Probably does he Has Put pete
hegseth in charge Of The. DEFENSE department i Think That
pete hegseth at least seems to understand that we got
there are various different areas of. Our military we need
to build back up for own national defense for, obvious

(01:33:35):
reasons which is not to say we shouldn't have as
stockpilet guns AND. M o we obviously should not because
but not because we're looking to go out there and fight,
a war but just because we are looking up for our own.

Speaker 6 (01:33:45):
National, interest.

Speaker 40 (01:33:47):
Absolutely we should be protecting, our border which is that's
tucking what. We're dealing we shut down the, southern border
that the drugs are no longer, pouring in that human
trafficking is no. Longer HAPPENING the ngo Scam that biden
was the, So roitating we're billions of dollars of money
was being given to these fake charities To enrich democrat
donors have stopped and the money is. Dried Up and

(01:34:08):
I'M Sure Jp morgan chase is losing asset allocation resources
because they have to park the, money somewhere and the
money is no longer being parked in the big financial
institutions because it's no longer flowing from the scam of
the human smuggling that was facilitating millions of people entering.
Our country now with the southern borders and shut so
it Looks like diamond, acting desperate wanting some other scam

(01:34:30):
to facilitate more deposits of resources into. His institution and encouraging.
International conflict that's really. Really tragic the southern border has been.
Shut down that is. International security and we absolutely should
have a strong military defense to protect. Our country but
to say we should you start looking for enemies around
the world to start bombing just under pretextual reasons is

(01:34:54):
kind of silly and absurd and not in accordance with,
limited government true conservative values To, protect america in accordse
with having a strong. National defense we have a strong,
national defense and we have a re, rebuilt military and
the president is rebuilding the military race and current current
leadership is working aggressively to re staff the. Depleted Military,

Well let's get Back To Texas. Conservative values two seven
fifty two is. Their Time luke visias joins this host and.
POLITICAL consultant i get, The impression, luke that especially at
the state, legislature level that we are just not as
conservative as we were just a few short. YEARS ago,
i mean we've always had a Problem With rhino republicans
in the. State legislature we've always had a problem with

(01:50:06):
Them allowing democrats to have more control over issues than.
They should but it feels like it's gotten worse instead.

Speaker 6 (01:50:12):
Of, better.

Speaker 46 (01:50:14):
Well YOU and i have been talking about this for
the last, several, YEARS right i mean pretty consistently last
session with the Impeachment Of ken paxton and the killing
at that point of nearly Every single republican priority piece.

Speaker 6 (01:50:27):
Of legislation AND so.

Speaker 46 (01:50:29):
I would say that as the dust starts to settle
and we're doing some, ANALYSIS now i actually want to
do like, a good bad and the ugly of the
legislative session SERIES that i think will hopefully break. Things
down but let me give you a slight. Positive Take
the Democrats and rhinos tried to pass a number of
very significant bills in very watered down fashions, this session

(01:50:51):
and that they were not successful in doing so for.
Two reasons there are about twenty more conservative legislators than
there were, last session Because more rhinos lost their primary
than ever before in. Modern history and so that, conservative
coalition along With The texas senate trying to force some
of these policies in the, right direction meant That the,
china landban that, we got The parental bill of rights

(01:51:14):
that got RID of dei and sex and gender theories
out of our schools, were very very significant. And strong
and these are Policies that democrats successfully killed last session
with their Partnership With.

Speaker 6 (01:51:26):
Dave felan and so those are just a.

Speaker 46 (01:51:28):
COUPLE examples i do think that we got some significant
wins on the board that we had not gotten in,
the past and that we would not have gotten if
conservatives hadn't seen the victories of. The primary but it
is true that there are obvious layups being getting rid
of the abortion pill that's killing twenty thousand children A Year.
In texas there was a bill that said that we

(01:51:51):
could get rid of, drag shows the drag queens story hours.
In Libraries The texas house killed. That bill so there
were some obvious things that killed a band on in
state tuition, for illegals e verify and e verify something
That The texas senate passed That The texas house didn't
even take up or have a, hearing for so a
number of really. Key losses WHILE also i do think

(01:52:13):
it's worth recognizing that we were able to get a
significant amount of some strong wins that had not been
gotten in, previous SESSIONS and i think that is Due
to conservatives upending the system a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
Last, YEAR look i had to put you. On sponting
only have about thirty. SECONDS left i want to get
a quick thought from you ON the thc buill that's
Supported By Lieutenant Governor. Dan patrick do you Believe That
governor abbott is going to sign that bill because there's
a lot, of opposition in particular from. Veterans groups there.

Speaker 6 (01:52:42):
Is a lot.

Speaker 46 (01:52:42):
OF opposition i do think THAT if i had to
put money, ON it i Would say abbot's more likely
to sign it.

Speaker 6 (01:52:48):
THAN not i don't think.

Speaker 46 (01:52:49):
Anything's, guaranteed also one reason he might sign it is
because significant work was Done By tom Oliverson And tony
tinderholt to work With The lieutenant governor to actually expand
and teacup so that veterans could get ACCESS to thchc
four traumatic brain injuries and, chronic pain and so that
they would have access, to that but just in a

(01:53:11):
safer way than having it in every single.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
Gas station, Nice sir thanks as. Always appreciated look to
see us host and. Political consultant you'all have a. Great
day see you, tomorrow morning bright and early at. Five
