important information from Cliff song.

Speaker 7 (01:41):
I am here to help Bob. Good morning everyone, five
oh one on k t RH. Our top story this morning.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
The regulatory environment in Texas is getting.

Speaker 7 (01:49):
To burdens and with that, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signs
the Texas version of DOGE into law. Later, he told
our TV partner channel to just how every Texan will benefit.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
What this program is going to do.

Speaker 8 (02:02):
It provides the resources and the tools and the strategies
to make sure that we are cutting through the radiatory
environment that drives.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
Up the costs of doing business, and coming up at
six o'clock, you'll here exactly how close we are to
school choice from the governor himself. Also in Austin, the
State Senate passes the Women's Privacy Act, keeping men out
of women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
I stand up as a woman to say our private
spaces should be private.

Speaker 7 (02:30):
Senator Lowis cole course there. The vote was twenty to
eleven five HT two on KTRH more violent crime in
the city. One person is dead another in the hospital
after a shooting on the southeast side last night. HPD
is looking for multiple suspects. And while the HPD staffing
shortage is getting better, it's got a long way to go.

(02:50):
The department still has twelve hundred vacancies and pay is
the main concern.

Speaker 9 (02:56):
When you see other agencies making starting out twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
More year, it's hard to recruit guys.

Speaker 9 (03:02):
That want to come here and be lifelong policeman.

Speaker 10 (03:04):
President of the Houston Police Officers Union Douglas Griffith says
they're working to reach a new and better deal with
the city.

Speaker 9 (03:10):
We're trying to work out waste where we can get there,
maybe over a five year deal to get us up
to where we need to be to be able to
hold on to our good officers and recruit new ones.

Speaker 10 (03:20):
HPD currently has about fifty three hundred of the sixty
four hundred authorized positions filled. Charit Lewis News Radio seven
forty KHRH.

Speaker 7 (03:28):
Politically, Mayor John Whitmeyer is getting blowed back from local
Democrats for being willing to work with Republicans, but he
told k TRH yesterday he does not plan to change.

Speaker 11 (03:38):
Nobody is working harder than me, trying to bring people
together to find the revenue, cut out waste and duplication,
cut out the corruption.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
Aris County Democratic leaders apparently upset that Whitmeyer attended a
fundraiser for Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw five h four on
k TRH, the Democrat and mainstream media narra about Kilmar
Abrego Garcia is blown up yet again. It turns out
he was pulled over three years ago while driving a

(04:08):
car belonging to another illegal alien, a confessed human trafficker.

Speaker 12 (04:13):
It is a clear and present danger to the national
security of this country, and we have federal judges telling
President Trump that he can't deport these threats from our communities.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Fox that federal
judge by the way, temporarily stopped her order requiring the
administration provide information on its efforts to bring Abrego Garcia
back to the United States. Elsewhere, a Wall Street Journal
op ed is calling on the White House to allow
more economic immigration now that the border has been shut down, but.

Speaker 13 (04:47):
Bob Price with Breitbar Texas says it's too soon.

Speaker 14 (04:52):
This is not the time for that. Right now, we're
still dealing with a crisis. There's still eleven million people
that are in this country that are not supposed to
be here.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
We have to deal with that.

Speaker 13 (05:01):
Price says Trump will deal with it when the time
is right.

Speaker 14 (05:05):
The H one BBSA system needs to be completely revapped.
It's totally abused by employers. But right now this is
not the time.

Speaker 13 (05:13):
Most conservatives would agree. Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven forty KT.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
The cost to Texas of Biden's open borders is this.
Early data shows that Texas hospitals spent millions on tens
of thousands of illegal alien visits, But the real bill
might be even higher.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
State Rep.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
Mike Olcott is pushing legislation to require an annual report
on this, and hopefully deportations help get a hold of
the problem, and they'll.

Speaker 15 (05:40):
Be interesting to see whether the cost to these hospitals
can come down. Because more than one hundred and eighty
one emergency rooms have closed down since two thousand and five.
This obviously is not the only cause of that, but
I can almost assure you that it's a contributing cause.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
It's coming up on five oh six.

Speaker 7 (05:56):
The Trump administration, meantime, is also reversing a lot of
Biden era policies when it comes to energy.

Speaker 16 (06:02):
If you cared about the environment, you would insist that
every electron of electricity, that every ounce of a liquid
fuel of any form of energy was produced here in
the United States, because we do a cleaner, smarter, safer,
healthier than anyone else on the planet.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Interior Secretary Doug Bergram with ktrh's Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.
Oil futures are up to sixty two dollars and fifty
cents a barrel this morning. Dow futures are down two

Rocket swim Matt Thomas on the call as the Rockets
beat Golden State one oh nine to ninety four to
tie that playoff series up at a game apiece. Game
three is on Santurday here on k TRH, and the
Astros beat the Blue Jays two to one. I'm Cliff
Saunders on you Sin's News, weather and traffic station News
Radio seven k TRH.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
News gathered reports there and reactions roll in.

Speaker 15 (07:14):
People were gonna lose their freaking mind.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
The big story of the week on used radio se
k TRH.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
All right, it is now seven minutes after the hour.
Good morning to you once again, Pop France sitting in
for Jimmy and uh yeah, quite a story, uh quite
several several amazing stories to start the morning, really, but
quite a story about the five Democrats who went down
five more went down to El Salvador to try to

(07:42):
rescue a human trafficker.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
That's right to rescue a human trafficker. I'm trying to
make some sense of this.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
I've tried really, really hard to see things from the
Democrat perspective ever since this whole Kilmar Abrigo Garcia situation
started to play out, and I'm struggling. I'm struggling greatly
trying to figure out how it is and why it
is they are so in love with this particular individual.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Of all of those who have been deported.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Those who are parts of transnational narco terrorist gangs like
MS thirteen and Trendy aar Agua are the least sympathetic,
the least sympathetic figures, those who are parts of this organization.
And I've been watching and I've been trying to figure
it out. I'm watching them try to defend this guy,
and for days and days and days they've said, well,

(08:33):
he's not there's no proof that he's Trenda or that
he's a MS thirteen, there's no proof whatsoever. You know,
he's a Maryland dad, He's a Maryland man, which by
the way, is code for he's an American.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
That's what they're saying.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
That's why the language has been consistent on CNN, on
MSNBC on ABC, in the newspapers online, Maryland Dad in Congress,
Maryland Dad, Maryland Man, Maryland Dad, marynd Man. Well, where's Maryland.
It's not in Elsie, Maryland is in the United States.
They're trying to gaslight the American people into thinking this

(09:05):
is an American citizen who has been just picked up,
swooped up, arrested, and sent to a foreign prison.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
He's a Maryland man.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Remember, this is the this is the message they're trying
to send because if they can get you to feel
sorry for this Maryland man, they will get you to
be afraid that it could be you next or someone
you know, Maryland man swooped up and sent to a
foreign prison. So I've been trying to, like I said,
to make a little bit of sense out of what
they're doing. And I know what they're doing, and I

(09:35):
know why they're doing it. In all in all honesty,
they're trying to essentially change the narrative about black and
brown people. I think that is a big, big part
of this. Kim Abrigo Garcia is obviously a hispaniclist a
Latino man, and the Democrat Party that is down there

(09:57):
trying to rescue a Latino man. Are doing this more
for the fact that he is Latino than they are
I think anything else. I think they lost the massive
vote that advantage that they have had for decades when
it comes to black and brown voters to Donald Trump.
In twenty twenty four, Donald Trump won more black votes
and more Brown votes.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Than he was supposed to.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Certainly then they could have afford to lose, could have
afforded to lose, which is why he is president right now.
So they're looking at this MS thirteen member they knew.
They initially started to say he's not MS thirteen. Now
they realize he is MS thirteen because President Trump and
others exposed the tattoos. They know he is MS thirteen,
and so they have to change it to changing the

(10:38):
area to due process, due process, due process, and he
is a Latino man who has been targeted by the
Trump administration. I'm telling you this is all about votes.
There's a lot more, a lot more, a lot more
news that we have for you this morning. On this
Cliff Saunders has told you about him driving the car
belonging to a human smuggler. We'll get into all of
that as the morning goes on. I promise you all right,

(10:59):
it is six or five to ten, beg your pardon.
Let's take a look at the traffic in whether or now.
We'll check in here with Skyline.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
So not a big traffic item, but it's kind of
interesting to see. And I think people on the feeder
road might be watching that, so you watch out for them.
It's West Sam northbound at Hammery. They've moved it. It
looks like mostly to the Shell station. It doesn't look
like they're blocking any laneage, but this is West Sam.
That was a big vehicle fire this morning. That sucker
was lit up. Everybody's okay. They're over on the side.

(11:28):
I don't think they'll be there very long. They've got
to move this out of the way. Ninjas are unseen.
Main lane's completely unaffected. You look good. Jersey Village all
the way down to Stafford and West Sam North Sam.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
I don't have the.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Usual scoots just yet at all. Dean Westfield. But it
squeezes down. Look out for other stations, listeners, Bob Franz.
If you go on westbound, they may not know about
that squeeze down and they may just freak out at
the last second.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Also eastbound, same deal. Imperial Valley.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Oh, I was supposed to check ship channel bridges. Put
your hard hats on, everybody. Let's do the Hartman Bridge.
And looking from the Laporte side, there's ex aumobile over there.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
We look good both ways.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Here toll Bridge, rocket long it ten to two twenty
five and six tenure Sherman Bridge from the bud Plant
down to twenty five.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Drama free, Terry.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
I'm Skymike on the USA Rvresorts dot Com traffic center.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Do your ninjas usually wear masks when I here? You know?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
And they're just very They have a lot of stealth.
They come out of nowhere, and where do my wreck go?
Where did that stall go? It's just gone ninjas.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I like it. I like it very well. Thank you.

Speaker 17 (12:31):
Mike.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Terry is in with our forecast this morning.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Good morning, Terry, Hey, good morning. It is a good morning.

Speaker 18 (12:38):
It's a quiet morning right now, which is a nice
change of pace from the last couple of days. And
we have less rain today and then lots of sunshine
into the weekend. So your outdoor plans are looking good
starting tomorrow. And today's not too bad either. It's only
a thirty percent chance of a shower. Thunderstorm today. Temperature

(12:59):
is a little bit warmer in the load to mid
eighties tomorrow through the weekend, no rain, sunshine, and highs
anywhere from the mid to upper eighties.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
All right, sounds like a game plan, Thank you, Terry.
Right now, seventy three degrees at your official severe weather station.
News Radio seven forty k t RH.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy Barretts and the Houston
Morning News team.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
All the info you need did take on the day.
All right, it is now five eighteen. Good morning to you.
So we're staying with the illegal immigrant and the justice
stories because there's a second one obviously. Kill Marabrego Garcia
continues to dominate the new cycle because Democrats continue to
travel to Al salvad order to try to jail break him,

(13:45):
despite the fact that he's a member of a foreign nation,
foreign terrorist organization designated so by the President of the
United States. His detention and his deportation both legal, but
this one is a little bit more stunning. Ten years
in prison was not nearly enough in the first place
for an illegal alien who killed two teenagers while driving
drunk and high. Ten years was not enough for two lives.

(14:09):
Three and a half years is an outright It's insanity.
It's an outrage, That's what it is. But that's exactly
what happened Oscar Edward Ortega and Guiano. If I'm saying
it correctly, and if I'm not, I don't really care.
Is being set free after just three years, almost three
and a half years for the two deaths, saying to

(14:30):
the thanks to the California Department of Corrections, which informed
the families of his victims that he had earned enough
good conduct points to get out with only thirty percent
of his sentence served. Think about that for just a moment.
The families are outraged, as they should be. A high
speed car crash resulted in the death of their two

(14:52):
teenage loved ones. Oscar Eduardo or Tega and Guiano was
driving drunk, high and speeding at about a hund hundred
miles an hour on the four or five Freeway in
Orange County in November of twenty one. He crashed into
a car being driven by the couple, nineteen year olds
Anya Varlamaev and I'm sorry for the pronunciations. These were

(15:13):
some foreign names and nikolay Osokin killing them both as
they burned alive. In twenty twenty two, he was convicted
in the case and sentenced to just ten years in prison.
The responses from the father of Anya and others, it's disgusting.
You have two young, unbelievable, future productive American citizens killed

(15:33):
for nothing, and that illegal immigrant who had already been
deported twice is going to be released again for what
is even if he is deported, he will come back.
That's the father and Natalie, and again, the last name
is a tough one. Var folimiov is what I'm gonna
go with here. Infuriating again doesn't even begin to describe

(15:55):
the situation. So the Feds need to step in. They
need to step up, and they need to step in.
The good news is apparently they are. I'll explain more
about that after we do Traffick and weather. First list, Chicken,
here is Scott Mike.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
All right, Bob, friends, we've got broof pollen and my
voice for one.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
All right, I ten east Uh.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
You know, we've got so many different sources here at
k t r H. Plus I'm friends with you know,
just about everybody else in the media in Houston, So
we have that.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Let's add to our list of sources.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
Bob the CBE Radio, I got Trucker Scott on the
hard work in east Side.

Speaker 10 (16:29):
I might I've been told that it's a problem right
there around the Trinity River.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Coming in all right, breaker one nine, good buddy, I
believe you.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
This is what we've got.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
It shows us showed a complete stoppage, a complete shutdown
of iten east coming in from Manawak. Looks like they've
shut it down at five sixty three according to the
digital sources.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I'll get some I'll get some feedback from you.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
I know tip line's coming in seven one three two
one two t ips.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
But I believe this.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
I believe this shutdown on it ten east at the
Trinity River and Chambers County. Probably your most helpful law
enforcement I have well note laneed shortly. I strongly suspect
that it is completely shut down. Let's get ready to
reroute to ninety right back at sh at the five
thirty break, Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
All right, Mike, thank you, and your forecast.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Part of cloudy today is storm chances afternoon high of
eighty four tonight, cloudy, low seventy four Friday through Sunday,
You're going to be beautiful, really mostly sunny skies with highs
in the mid to upper eighties, a little bit warm
seventy three Now at your official severe weather station is
Radio seven forty k t RH, and I will check
the headlines with Cliff Sunders.

Speaker 7 (17:39):
Thank you, Bob Newfox Poul numbers give President Trump fifty
five percent approval on border security. The DOJ has cut
some two million dollars, including two hundred and fifty grand
in a program to work with trends inmates and Bob,
I'm sure you remember Steve McMichael, the Pro Football Hall
of Famer in naming Rwstonian YEP unfortunately died from als

(18:01):
yesterday at the age of sixty seven. Get the latest
news anytime at KGRH dot com. Our next update is
at five.

Speaker 19 (18:08):
Thirty from the Sugarland area, Javier Port area.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're reliable forecast next on the ten on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, very sorry to hear about Mango McMichael. He had
a huge, hugely successful career as a pro wrestler. After
the Chicago Bears and the Championship and so on so forth.
Say yeah, very very sad loss so very young too
at sixty seven, not as young as these teenagers. Though,
I want to give you the rest of the story here.
The good news is the Trump administration is on the case.

(18:38):
They are ready. As infuriating as it is that this
individual is not going to be doing his full ten years,
which again is not enough for killing two teenagers while
drunk and high and driving over one hundred miles an hour.
As infuriating as that is, at least we can count
on the Feds to get him on his illegal immigration status.
The report from Fox News says that ICE officials have

(19:03):
declared they will place a detainer on Ortega Anguiano immediately
upon his release. US Attorney for the Central District of California,
bilal Esali Boy got a lot of tough names. This morning,
wrote in a post that his office was going to
take custody of Ortego Anguiano immediately and make sure he

(19:24):
serves a long sentence in federal prison for immigration crimes,
quoting him, now, my office has filed a felony immigration
charge against this defendant. He faces up to twenty years
in federal prison if convicted under eight USC thirteen twenty six.
If the State of California will not seek the full
measure of justice against this individual, the Department of Justice

(19:46):
will end quote. So there is somebody actually trying to
bring justice to an unjust situation. And the legal alien
comes into the United States kills two people in the
reprehensible of ways, just completely ignoring the safety of everybody,
getting high, getting drunk, driving one hundred miles an hour,

(20:07):
Two teenagers' lives lost. He gets three and a half
years in prison or three years in prison roughly. And
it's not good enough. It's just not good enough.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Again.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
And I know a lot of people are saying, you
know how many Americans drunk drive every day? Do you
know how many Americans do this that or the other thing? Yeah,
we do. And it's a terrible situation. What we don't
need is illegal aliens coming in here and adding to
it and making it worse. The bottom line is, people
like Rachel Morin would be alive today if the illegal
alien had not come into.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
The United States.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
These two young kids would be alive today, if we
had actually done the job that we're supposed to do
and secure the southern border. These deaths were preventable. Not
every death is these were, and they.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
And so now it takes somebody else, a new federal government,
to try to bring some semblance of justice to the situation.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi, by the way, also argued
against the release of Ortega Anguiano and said, this is
absolutely unconscionable. What about justice for these teens? What about
the rights of their parents? The Justice Department will work

(21:13):
with Ice to make sure this illegal alien receives full
punishment for his crimes. End quote. That's something Pam Bondi wrote.
So again, it'll be of little consolation to the families
that this guy is going to now be under the
federal microscope and hopefully soon under their thumb and in
a prison cell, a federal prison cell. But that's the

(21:35):
best you can do, given the situation that California is
allowing him out after just three years, that the Feds
can lock him up for twenty that would be the
best possible outcome in a terrible situation. All Right, it's
five twenty six now, so it's time to take a
look at the markets. What a ride we continue to
be on. And Denise Pellegrini has a Bloomberg Business report
for US.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Good morning, Denise, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (21:55):
Good, welcome to you.

Speaker 19 (21:57):
If you know someone who got laid off lately and
then the company that dumped them wanted them back like
a groveling X, apparently they're not alone, And I'm wondering,
would you go back to work again or would you
say you're never ever getting back together if your employer
wanted you back. Wall Street Journal says a growing number
of businesses, including Meta Salesforce and Pratt and Whitney, and

(22:17):
also the federal government are trying to win back fired workers.
Realizing the cut back too much. Paper says some workers
are even getting raises and promotions when they agree to
return to their old job. Stock futures are putting to
a lower open, so a little bit of a pullback
after the massive gain in the past two days. STOP
futures down two hundred and eighteen, s and P futures

(22:38):
down twenty three, NASDA futures down ninety six. I'm Denise

Speaker 5 (23:20):
Right, very helpful, Chambers County, thank you. I wouldn't expect
anything less. They've reopened it coming in, so stay the course.
I do expect these backups to be here for a bit.
Digitals are showing at least a twenty minute delay now
coming in from Wallaceville. There was a wreck on it
at the Trinity Riverbridge westbound inbound coming in from Beaumont.
Would sure be helpful to hear from Tony from Beaumont

of storms this afternoon. High about eighty four. Tonight cloudy,
with the lowest seventy four Friday through Sunday. The weekend's
gonna be nice, mostly Sunday with highs in the mid eighties.
Right now, we're looking at seventy three. It's your official
severe weather station. News Radio seven.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
Forty k t RH, and now it was time for
the morning news. Here's Cliff.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
Thank you, Bob five thirty two on kg RHR. Top
story anti Trump Democrats continue to do their anti Trump things.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
He also called you low IQ.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
I'm sure you're aware of that.

Speaker 21 (24:39):
Wouldn't you be willing to take an IQ test publicly
as ahead against the pattern of the United Statsolutely yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett on ABC this week. For a change,
she wasn't using any curse words but Democrats hope cursing
can reverse their curse.

Speaker 22 (24:58):
The DEM's latest strategy is called dark Woke, in which
they use swear words and harsh confrontational rhetoric to attack
opponents and push their woke policies from our White House,
Press Secretary Kaylee mcinaney tells Fox, Democrats don't need a strategy,
they need a leader.

Speaker 23 (25:11):
How do you thread this needle? You need a movement
like Democrat, someone like an Obama figure that can thread
a needle the way that he did. Still one moder
of voters became an icon in democratic politics, and I don't.

Speaker 22 (25:22):
Know that they have that person. Dark Woke is already
being compared to Dark Brandon, the Dems failed effort to
make Joe Biden seem dark and edgy, Corey Yelson, who's
Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
And as Democrats in Congress visit anti Israel prietors in jail,
Texas State Senator Adam Hidajosa has introduced a bill to
stop any terrorist activity at Texas universities. Cam Abrams with
the Texans says it's for students with visas, specifically placing.

Speaker 24 (25:50):
Greater emphasis on how non immigrant visa holding students are
going to be prohibited from engaging in or supporting quote
risk activities.

Speaker 7 (26:01):
By the way, students who support those activities would either
be suspended or expelled. The US Supreme Court heard arguments
over parental rights at schools in Maryland this week. A
bill proposed in Austin, though, as we told you yesterday,
as yet to get a hearing.

Speaker 25 (26:17):
HB one eighty three would allow parents to challenge books
with the state Board of Education.

Speaker 26 (26:22):
If that book is determined to be inappropriate, it is
then removed from every school district in Texas, every school
campus library in Texas.

Speaker 25 (26:30):
Activist Bonnie Wallace says, right now, parents concerned about the
content of a book have to appeal one school at
a time.

Speaker 26 (26:36):
Austin ISD has sixteen high schools. I think it would
have to challenge at each high school. The process would
take all of my lifetime, she says.

Speaker 25 (26:44):
Passing HB one eighty three would make it far easier
for parents to keep often pornographic books away from children.
Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty KTR it's now five
thirty four.

Speaker 17 (26:54):
Everybody wants to be a part of what we're doing.
They know that they can't get away with it any longer,
but the show going to do fine.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
President Trump talking to reporters about tariff saying that he
will get a quote fear deal with China, adding that
he was actively talking to the Chinese. Those comments came
after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen doubled down on Trump's dance
against the CCP.

Speaker 27 (27:16):
China's economics system, with growth driven by manufacturing exports, will
continue to create even more serious imbalances with its trading
partners if the status quo is allowed to continue.

Speaker 7 (27:30):
Overnight trading is down across the board after gains yesterday
five point thirty five. Recording to Bank Rates twenty twenty
five Summer Travel survey, only forty six percent of Americans
are planning a summer vacation.

Speaker 28 (27:42):
If you're a bit price sensitive, then you hesitate in
a bit. If you're not price sensitive, then you really
just decided, Hey, am I going to the most interesting
place I wanted to go to? Am I going somewhere
less interesting but still more affordable?

Speaker 7 (27:57):
Travel expert Chris Amenergi says affordability is one one of
the reasons for this. The mainstream media narrative on the economy,
The Trump economy is also a factor that media is
also getting called out by Hollywood, this time. Rain Wilson,
remember him, Dwight from the Office says the MSNBC's of
the world didn't go after Joe Biden the way they

(28:18):
trash Trump.

Speaker 20 (28:20):
Left leaning news media organizations were kind of.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Like, la la la la la. Evening's fine. Look the environments.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I mean, look, the economy's great, La la la.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
Immigration's not that much of a problem. And really being
Cleopatra Queen of denial.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
Wilson on his podcast this week, Nearly half of gen
Z job seekers say their college degrees are obsolete thanks
to AI. The shift comes as employers drop degree requirements
and prioritize skills in AI, coding and machine learning. John
Schultz runs a software company and says, adapt or die.

Speaker 29 (28:54):
When we started sixteen years ago, you know we did
the method a certain why. In eleven we introduced a
cloud based system. Four years ago we introduced AI.

Speaker 7 (29:04):
He says, you need a basic understanding of AI to
stay in the game.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
Five point thirty six. The NFL draft tonight in Green Bay.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
So what can we expect from the Texans who have
the twenty fifth pick in the first round.

Speaker 30 (29:15):
The focus, especially early in the draft is offensive line
interior like a guard play and if you're at twenty
five in a tackle falls that you love you draft him.

Sean Salisbury with our sister station, Sports Talk seven ninety

Speaker 4 (29:53):
All right, it is five thirty seven.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Good morning to you, Bob frandsitting and for Jimmy Barrett
this morning and Pete Hechsath, Secretary of Defense. He's been
under a lot of pressure, a lot of criticism. People
worried about signal chats and the secrecy and so on
and so forth, keeping everything in national security in the
right hands and eyes and so forth.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
But he had a moment yesterday. He had a moment.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yesterday in which he was able to deliver a powerful
address to the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
making it official and welcoming back troops that were kicked
out of the military for daring to refuse the COVID jabs.

Speaker 31 (30:32):
So welcoming back former service members who were wrongly forced
to leave the military. More than eighty seven hundred service
members were involuntarily separated for not taking an experimental COVID
nineteen vaccine. Others were more informally pushed out or decided
to get out. We are welcoming actively back.

Speaker 6 (30:55):
Those warriors of conscience. We've set letters out.

Speaker 17 (30:58):
We're seeking them out.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
We want them back.

Speaker 31 (31:01):
They never should have been forced come back quickly. Personal
and Readiness Department is working in real time to make
that process more and more efficient, more and more direct
every single day.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
That is a big move, and it's a great pr
move for Pete hegseath again, given the fact that he
is under constant pressure from the left and from the
media suggesting that he's not up to the job and
so forth. So he needed a really really big moment
there and he got one. And I for one think
that he is being maligned simply and solely, not because
of his ability and not because anything having to do

(31:34):
with signal, but because he was appointed by Donald Trump,
the same exact reason why they have targeted Donald Trump
for things that they never ever would have touched Joe
Biden or anyone else for. But Hegseth needs a win
or two here. And if you look at recruiting, and
President Trump highlighted this a couple of days ago from
the Oval Officer and maybe from the Rose Guard, but
he talked about recruiting.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Is it an all time high?

Speaker 3 (31:55):
It might have been during the Easter egg roll I'm remembering, recruiting,
Is it an all time high or at least a
significant high. Over the course of the last several decades,
recruiting had fallen down to anemic low levels under Joe
Biden because quite frankly, not a whole lot of Americans
wanted to join a military that was so woke, that
was you know, crossed over with diversity, meaning they're having

(32:18):
you know, people with psychological disorders, you know, transgendered disorders
and so forth serving in the units. And there were
a lot of people who just ran from it and
didn't want anything to do with it. As soon as
they got rid of Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin. The
recruiting went up like a rocket ship, and now they're
trying to bring back more thousands of service members who

(32:39):
were in involuntarily separated from the military because they refused
to take the very experimental COVID JAB. So good move
here by Pete Hegseth, and hopefully this will make things
right for a lot of the people who lost their jobs. Okay,
it is five forty that mean'st not for trafficking weather.
Once again, we're gonna check in here with sky Mike.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
All right, let's see in East we still have that
accident that we were talking about. It was there and
Chambers County confirms that it was closed from two point
thirty at the Trinity River.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Bridge at westbound lanes. All of your lanes were shut down.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
Pretty gnarly wrecked there, and we have some backups in
the area just before that from about five sixty three,
just a few it's not all the way there, and
it looks like it's getting much better. Let's check Tony
from Boumont iten west time, Mike.

Speaker 32 (33:25):
I've been on the road for about maybe forty minute.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
I don't see anything going on going.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
West north Houston all right, Tony, I'm just about ready
to clear the sucking chair.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Double check that at the five point fifty break.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
And again I wanted to thank Chambers County Sheriff's dispatchers.
They are so helpful in the whole of whoever the
sheriff is over there. Thank you, he cares about you.
Obviously in bound. We'll keep an eye there. Rest of
freeways rocking along nicely from now, Terry, your Paulin is
killing me.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
I'm Skymike in the.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
USA RV Resorts dot Com traffic center. I feel like
it's like puberty or something all over again.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
All right, Terry Smith. That the weather channel with our
forecast day, Terry.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
Okay, that's just confusing me.

Speaker 18 (34:10):
I'm just gonna say it out loud, okay. And it's
grass pollen, by the way. Oh, it's the oak and
pecan and the oak and the pecond Right, I'm gonna
make sure.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
The trees are having fun. All right.

Speaker 18 (34:23):
So a little bit more rain today and then after
that we are dried through the weekend, and I suspect.

Speaker 6 (34:29):
A lot of folks are ready for some dryer weather.

Speaker 18 (34:32):
A few thundershowers today, thirty percent chants of seeing some
rain today, Temperatures right where they should be low to
mid eighties this afternoon. But once we turned the spickt
off and we've got nothing but sunshine tomorrow into Monday
of next week, it'll be a little bit warmer, a
little more heat and humidity. Temperatures in the mid to

(34:52):
upper eighties through the weekend.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
All right, thank you, Terry.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Right now, we're not there where it's seventy three, But
little Klan at your official severe weather station is Radio
seven forty k TIH.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
What you need to know for the day ahead.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
This is Houston's morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
All right, it is five forty eight. Good morning to
you once again. So Vice President JD. Vance is kind
of laying down the law in the form of something
of an ultimatum with Russia and Ukraine, more specifically to Ukraine.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Vice President of Vance warned yesterday.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
That Moscow and Kiev must strike a deal or Washington
is stepping out ending its efforts to reach a ceasefire. Now,
this is a little bit problematic for a couple of
different reasons. But first of all, it was the second
warning that the Trump administration has given to Russia and
to Ukraine in less than a week, despite President Trump's

(35:48):
frequent pledges before his second term began that he would
end the war immediately. That's what makes this problematic. President
Trump said I'll end it in a heartbeat or in
a day, or in a week or whatever. And of course,
you know, we knew that was a little bit of
an exaggeration. But the point is that it had no
end whatsoever, and it would have an end when President
Trump took office. Well, we're about to have the one
hundred day mark for President Trump and it doesn't look

(36:10):
like it's anywhere closer to ending. And that's why the
high public profile pressure being put on both nations is
being given by Vice President of Vance and earlier this
week by Secretary of State Rubio Van said, yesterday, we
issued a very explicit proposal to both Russians and Ukrainians,
and it's time for them to either say yes or
for the US to walk away from this process. End quote.

(36:34):
He spoke to reporters in India, where he's on a
four day visit there. He spoke his envoice from Washington.
Kievan European nations gathered for talks in the UK amidst
the new US push to end this war. Last Wednesday,
President Trump posted on his truth social account blasting Voladimir Zelenski,
the Ukrainian president, for saying that Ukraine will not recognize

(36:57):
Russia's occupation of Crimea, which of course happened way back
when Barack Obama was president. President Trump said that I wrote,
I should say that Zelenski needs to understand that that
part of this is over quote. Ukraine will not legally
recognize the occupation of Crimea. There's nothing to talk about here.

(37:19):
That was the Lenski and that that was blasted on
the front page of the Wall Street Journal, and President
Trump said the statement is very harmful to the peace
negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago
under the auspices of President Obama. Uh and is not
even a point of discussion. Nobody is asking Zelensky to
recognize crimeas Russian territory. But if he wants Crimea, why

(37:39):
didn't he fight for it eleven years ago when it
was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired?
These are fair questions. The area also houses for many
years before the Obama handover, major Russian submarine bases, it's
inflammatory statements like Zelenski's that make it so difficult to
settle this war. He has nothing to boast about. The

(37:59):
situation for Ukraine is dire. He can have peace or
he can fight for another three years before losing the
whole country. I have nothing to do with Russia, but
I have much to do with wanting to save on average,
five thousand Russian and the Ukrainian soldiers a week who
are dying for no reason whatsoever. The statement made by
Zelenski today will do nothing but prolong the killing field.
And nobody wants that. We are very close to a deal,

(38:21):
but the man with no cards to play should finally
now get it done. End quote. So Vice President Vance,
President Trump and Secretary of stu At Rubio all pretty
much putting Ukraine un noticed. Get this thing done or
we walk away and you lose the whole country. Five
fifty one. Let's do trafficking weather once again, Scot Mike.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
She's gonna be texting me now, let me text back, Hey, Sarah,
text Jennifer. I want to tell her that two twenty
five outbound at Berla have reported reg and trans Wow.
Will have you a camera shot shortly and By the way,

Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 33 (39:02):
Hi.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
That was quick and easy.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Your forecast you deserve, Terry tell you it's gonna be
cloudy today somewhat and a thirty percent chance of more
rain storms this afternoon high about eighty four. Tonight cloudy
low of seventy four. Then the sunshine comes out in
full for the entire weekend. For Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,
you're gonna have mostly sunny skies and highs in the
mid to upper eighties. Right now, we're at seventy three

(39:27):
at your official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty KTRH.
And we've got headlines now, or more specifically, Cliff has
headlines now.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
Thank you, Bob. We're sponsored by dn M Auto Leasing.
Texas officially gets its own doge. The President meets with
the Prime Minister of Norway today and Bob, this could
only happen here. In Houston, a construction company says a
nine hundred dollars porta potty was stolen from a work site.

Speaker 6 (39:52):
The bad guys are on the runs.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
No, you did not just do that.

Speaker 7 (39:58):
I did get the latest news anytime it ca trh
dot com and our next update is at six.

Speaker 34 (40:03):
The events of the day, Liberation Day, how the market
is reacting, laid out in real time at the top end,
bottom of the out What's happening on Youth Radio seven
jgrh oh you did.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
Let's pretend that you didn't. Jasmine Crockett. You just heard
one of those in the last newscast. Jasmine Crockett the
firebrand if you are a fan, the insufferable racist if
you are not. And she is a very, very racist individual.
She just simply absolutely abhorse white people and blames whiteness
for everything. But she went on and celebrated her anti

(40:39):
whiteness with a white television host named Jimmy Kimmel. Jasmine
Crockett Texas Costy.

Speaker 23 (40:45):
She wanted to be an antiphesiologist.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
So I've always been really.

Speaker 23 (40:49):
Good at math and science, but i didn't want to
talk to people.

Speaker 21 (40:52):
You wanted to put people to sleep, and you kind
of are doing the opposite things.

Speaker 22 (40:57):
Right, Yes, I want them to be now.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
She wants them to be woke now, which is indeed
something that she is working very very hard on. She
is becoming and this is not a good thing for Democrats.
She is becoming, along with AOC, the new face of
the Democrat Party because she's saying something outrageous or she's
going in front of different groups or different audiences to

(41:22):
say some wild things on a very very regular, frequent basis,
and that's a problem for them. There's a reason why
the Democrats have historically low congressional ratings. Right now, their
approval ratings for the Democrats in Congress are cratering, and
I mean like all time type stuff here. And this
is with President Trump in the midst of a massive

(41:42):
transformation of the American trading policies. We know, with terrorists
that are controversial. You got Doze, which of course is
drawing fire from a lot of people who have a
lot of things to hide. You know, It's not like
things are just going great guns for the President and
for the administration, but the Democrats in Congress are creating
and one of the reasons why is they have these
people out there as their public face.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
He also called you low IQ.

Speaker 17 (42:07):
I'm sure you're aware of that.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Would you be willing to.

Speaker 21 (42:09):
Take an IQ test publicly as a head against the patterbsolutely?

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah, it's kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
When you listen to her accent depending on our audience,
just like Hillary Clinton did this too.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
Hillary Clinton and.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
AOC does this too. But Jasmine Crockett is funny. When
she is talking in front of in front of an
HBCU or an audience of predominantly minorities, she has a
very very different sound than she does when she is
talking on the Jimmy Kimmel.

Speaker 35 (42:37):
Confidence is almost like incomprehensible.

Speaker 6 (42:41):
It is so bad.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
And when you bring up the idiot known as.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Elon Musk, Elon Musk is the richest man in the world.
Elon Musk is arguably the smartest man in the world,
a man who has created companies Starlink, Tesla, Neuralink, SpaceX
and bought the company and reimagined it completely X, Twitter

(43:07):
now X Literally one of the smartest men in the world,
who has come up with some of the most ingenious
inventions and and and advances of technology than anybody has
ever said. Jasmin krock ITTs just called him an idiot.
Take that and process it. Five point fifty six. Now,

Speaker 4 (45:08):
And now we've got the news as well. Here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
Thank you, Bob. It is six poh two on KTRH.
Our top story this hour. Democrats want you to believe
that kilmar Orbrego Garcia is a family man, not an
illegal alien, not an accused wife beater, not an MS
thirteen member.

Speaker 6 (45:25):
But we're finally learning who he really is.

Speaker 36 (45:27):
We're told through a DHS source that the car Abrego
Garcia was driving belonged to a convicted human smuggler.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
This guy's really a delight.

Speaker 6 (45:37):
Fox is Brian kill me?

Speaker 11 (45:38):
Now?

Speaker 7 (45:39):
A federal judge temporarily pauses an order requiring the White
House to provide information on its efforts to bring a
Brego Garcia back to the US, and now that President
Trump has secured the border, the Wall Street Journal once
more Economic immigration Bob Price with Breitbart says there's still
too much cleanup though, to do from the mess that

(46:00):
Joe Biden left us.

Speaker 14 (46:01):
I think until that gets dealt with, it's going to
be hard to get anybody in Congress, particularly on the
Republican side of the aisle, to do any kind of
meaningful immigration reform. You want to have legal migration, but
right now this is not.

Speaker 7 (46:15):
The time, adding that many big companies are still looking
for cheap labor to help their profits. And then there's
this preliminary hospital data showing that Texas shut out a
huge amount of money to care for illegal aliens.

Speaker 32 (46:29):
The number of visits was in the tens of thousands,
and the costs rout in millions. Director of HHS Victoria
Grady said that recently on the House floor, say what
Mike Alcott says, though we don't know the true extent.

Speaker 15 (46:40):
One of the things that we learned was that some
of the hospitals in their house actually been reporting the
data on just the pieces of paper.

Speaker 32 (46:47):
He's pushing a bill that would formalize an annual report
on the matter.

Speaker 15 (46:50):
The point of this bill is simply for us to
get a handle on how much this is occurring and
how much is it costing Texas taxpayers and these hospitals.

Speaker 32 (46:59):
He hopes it'll get vote it out of committee this week.
Andre Perard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (47:04):
Six three on KTRH slash regulations.

Speaker 8 (47:08):
They will put stricter standards imposed on new regulations to
hinder the imposition of regulations that could prove.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Costly to do in business.

Speaker 7 (47:19):
Governor Abbit siting Texas doze into law yesterday and also
saying that school choice is on the verge of becoming reality.

Speaker 8 (47:27):
The school choice is supported by every demographic group, black, white,
Hispanic Asian, supported by urban, suburban, and rural areas, and
so we know this widely supported in the state of Texas.

Speaker 7 (47:38):
Abbott with our TV partner Channel two. There are about
forty days left in the legislative session. Also in Austin,
the state Senate passed the Women's Privacy Act twenty to eleven.
It keeps men out of women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and
other facilities. Coming up now on six zero five. We
had more violent crime in Houston overnight. One person is dead,

(48:00):
another in the hospital after a double shooting in southeast Houston.
Multiple suspects fled the scene. HPD remains understaffed as the
department continues to have trouble both in recruiting and retraining
and retaining rather young officers.

Speaker 9 (48:16):
In today's market, where we have these young people that
an't afraid to just move around. You know, they may
work here a couple of years, find another ace's paying
more to five year mark and they're gone. So it's
not only recruiting that's retaining the officers that we've already
invested in.

Speaker 7 (48:30):
Doug Griffith with the Union says the city is well
behind other major Texas cities when it comes to officer
pay and Mayor John Whitmeyer continues to get criticized from
his left, called out by The Chronicle and the members
of his own party who claim his agenda is that

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Okay, it is seven minutes after six o'clock. Good Thursday
morning to you once again. Pop France sitting in for
Jimmy Barrett this morning. So, one of the oral arguments
being heard by the Supreme Court this week involves the
rights of parents to opt out of education or lessons
that they find to be inappropriate or at odds with

(50:59):
their particular faith than their religion. And it's hard to
believe that this had to go all the way to
the Supreme Court. But here it is because parents should
have a right to make sure that whatever their kids
are being exposed to is something that they.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Find to be appropriate.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
But Neil Gorsich, Justice Gorsicic had an exchange that I
want to share with you now with one of the Marylands.
This is Montgomery County, Maryland. Is the a basis of
this or the abase of this case, excuse me, which
should be precedent setting nationwide. But Gorsch had an exchange
with a Maryland school district lawyer who was there arguing

(51:31):
that this should be required reading and required information, if
you will, for all students, including pre k students. That's
right under kindergarten. You're talking about four year old's, three
year olds, two year olds, etc. That this is something
parents should not be allowed to opt their children out of.
Listen to this exchange.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
I Puppy was the book that was used for the
pre kindergarten curriculum. That's no longer in the curriculum.

Speaker 10 (51:56):
That's the one where they are supposed to look for
the leather and things like that.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
It's not bondage woman, and no, it's not correct. No,
my gosh, I read it.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Drag The leather that they're pointing to is a woman
in a leather jacket and one of the words is
drag queen.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
And this, and they're supposed to look for those.

Speaker 17 (52:19):
It is an option at the end of the book.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
Uh, that's that's what we're talking about here, literally pre
K three year olds being forced to read books called
Pride Puppy and then look for objects that are that
are chosen uh for them at the end of the book.
One of them included a drag queen. Another one included
a woman in leather which looked like it was bondage
enough to uh. Justice Neil Gorsic, who asked Alan Schoenfield,

(52:46):
that's the other voice that you heard there? How on
earth this could possibly be considered appropriate? And the answer,
of course, is that it's not.

Speaker 32 (52:53):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
They said, that's why they took this particular book out.
But the fact is it was used, and it was
used for a period of time. Lord knows how many
children were exposed to it and how many parents were
informed that their kids at age three and age four
were going into class and reading Pride Puppy. And it
is all about well, just like what it sounds like.

(53:17):
It is about all kinds of inappropriate things for children,
sexual sexualization of children, and this is a problem parents
want out of it. The High Court was hearing arguments
in the case brought by religious parents who say young
children can't be expected to separate a teacher's moral messages
from their family's beliefs. Eric Baxter, an attorney representing the

(53:37):
Maryland parents, told the justices that the school district violated
the First Amendment by denying opt out requests for books
that contradict their religious beliefs, even while allowing exemptions for
other religious objections, such as books depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
We got problems here. The good news is, according to
almost all of the constitutional scholar who are covering these cases,

(54:02):
the court seem to be leaning very very strongly, at
least the side of the court that actually believes in
the Constitution, leaning very strongly toward granting the request of
parents to be allowed to opt out of these kinds
of things. That's still not good enough. These things need
to be banned from schools all together. You want to
put them in an adult library for eighteen and over. Fine,
you're going to put these children's books in front of

(54:24):
children when they have non children themes, things that are
just highly inappropriate that cannot be allowed. But that's where
we stand. Okay, ten minutes after six, now eleven minutes
after six, let's get the traffic and weather go on
once again, mister Scott, Mike.

from the ridiculously inappropriate reading materials that were being pushed

We're going to talk about that coming up here in

As I mentioned, there's a push for stricter oversight of
school library content in Texas as well, and in fact,
there's a new bill house built one eighty three by
state Representative Jared Patterson is currently being a waiting and hearing.

(59:27):
I guess I should say joining us now to tell
us all about it. As Bonnie Wallace, he's an activists
helping to push for parental rights in school libraries.

Speaker 35 (59:35):
Bonnie, good morning, Good morning, Bob, thanks for having me
on this morning.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Pleasure, thank you for being here. Tell us about House
Bill one eighty three.

Speaker 35 (59:44):
House Built one eighty three is very simple, common sense
solution to the book problems that we've been finding all
across Texas. Keep in mind there's over twelve hundred school
districts in Texas, so in order to challenge books, technically
you have to go to each school board and file
a challenge. A lot of the school boards offu skate.

(01:00:06):
They take forever they don't know what to do, or
they want to keep doing what they're doing, some of
both probably, but how still, one eighty three takes challenges
for inappropriate library material to the State Board of Education.
So me, as a taxpayer, I could go to the
State Board of Education and show them an inappropriate book,

(01:00:30):
submit a challenge, and they will review the book and
come up with the ruling on it. If they decide
that book is inappropriate for minors in Texas public schools.
That book would be removed from every public school campus
in Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Crazy, that would be That would be a fantastic thing
to have happen. Here's the question I'm curious about timing, Fannie.
In other words, are we talking about things that parents
have found out that are already being shown to their kidskids,
books that are being required of their kids, and then
you find out now we oh, I don't like this.
I want to go and have this declared inappropriate at
the legislature or at the level I should say, or

(01:01:11):
do they have to submit a list of books that
they want to use and get kind of pre approval,
because you don't want to close the barn door after
the horse is already out right.

Speaker 35 (01:01:20):
Well and the horse has already left the barn. I mean,
I have books that I have found in Texas public
schools that talk about sex with animals, sex with dead bodies.
We've got one that has seventy five QR codes in
the book. These books that I'm talking about, by the way,
are for twelve year olds and up. And so these

(01:01:42):
QR codes take you to sex videos to plan parenthood.
They take you to an app that tells you where
the nearest orgy is. I have a book that I
discovered recently, how to kill your diabetic parents in an
indetectable manner so you can get away with murder.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
I've got wait wait, wait wait, did I hear you say?

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
These are books that are already available to kids in
Texas libraries.

Speaker 35 (01:02:09):
All across Texas, in so many public schools, hundreds.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
And what has happened with some of those most degregious examples,
like the one you're talking about about how to kill
your diabetic parent. I'd never heard of this before. I
would have thought this would be something that would make
national news. What has been done about this?

Speaker 35 (01:02:27):
Well, we take the books to the school board and
we read them at school board meetings. I've been to
more than one hundred school board meetings in Texas. Most
of the books still sit in the high school or
middle school libraries because they are refusing to move them,
most of them out of fear they think they're going.

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
To get sued.

Speaker 35 (01:02:47):
And because the left, you know, they scream very loudly
and very they're just full of rage and hate, I guess,
and so they're menacing the school districts to do anything.
But I say a saving a child's mind is more
valuable than fear of a lawsuit.

Speaker 24 (01:03:09):
Right.

Speaker 35 (01:03:10):
We need to have fear of God, not of a lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
And so Hospital one to eighty three. If it becomes law,
will kind of change that. You don't go to these
cowardly school boards with these books. You go right to
the state Board of Education. Is that how that would work?

Speaker 35 (01:03:25):
Yes, sir, And the details are still being worked out.
There is a committee substitute that they're working on now
for timing. Tom Maynard is my state Board of Education member.
I'm in District ten, and he asked me to review
this you know, draft bill a few months ago. I

(01:03:47):
just I love it.

Speaker 37 (01:03:48):
It's not perfect.

Speaker 35 (01:03:49):
It does not have an enforcement mechanism. So therefore, if
some schools say, well, I'm not taking those books out
you know, the kids need them or whatever their rationale is,
if they don't comply, there's no enforcement mechanism. So we're
working on an appropriate mechanism. I've suggested too. Want to
be a ten thousand dollars fine, some schools are more

(01:04:11):
worried about money, but the other one it could be
and or ten thousand dollars fine and or a letter
grade penalty. So a lot of campuses and districts they
worry about their letter grades. They want that a campus
to see campus and a full letter grade penalty if
books are discovered that the SBOE has already mandated be removed.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
So may I choose C in this multiple choice test,
which means both amb I would like both. Yeah, yeah,
give them the letter grade penalty and the fine. Bonnie
Wallace activist supporting hospital one to eighty three. I really
appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I certainly
hope you get those enforcement mechanisms added to the bill
before it goes up. Thank you so much of the

(01:04:55):
time in letting us know and for fighting for kids.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):

I'm close Saunders on Houston's news weather in traffic station
News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Info at this speed of Houston right now. Houston's Morning
News continue with Jimmy Barrett and the Houston Morning News team.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
All right, six.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
Thirty seven, Now, good morning once again, Bob Frand sitting
in for Jimmy this morning, and I'll be here tomorrow
as well. Jimmy deserves a couple of days now and
then don'ty. So Yeah, the illegal alien issue continues to
be the number one issue for many Americans. I mean,
obviously we do have acted economic issues with Arris and
so on and so forth. But the k Abrego Garcia

(01:13:25):
saga continues, and some of the new news that we've
gotten this morning A Cliff's been reporting on is quite astounding.
Abrego Garcia is and was MS thirteen and is and
was a criminal. They like to say that he has
not been convicted of any crimes. That's what makes him
an innocent American dad or I'm sorry, they're calling him

(01:13:45):
a Maryland dad, which since Maryland is in America, they're
trying to say he's American.

Speaker 4 (01:13:51):
Guess what.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
The reason he's not been convicvictive of crimes isn't because
he's not convicting or committing them. It's because they're not
charging him. He was pulled over, and this is well
known by now, driving a car load of seven individuals,
all of whom were questioned and all gave what is
your address? They gave the same address, the address they

(01:14:12):
were all going to being driven by Garcia. They all
acknowledged where they were going and where they were living
was that particular same address. This wasn't just giving people
a ride somewhere. This was human trafficking. Come to find
out now, the latest news is that Garcia was driving
an SUV that belonged to a confessed human smuggler. It

(01:14:34):
was clear and it was obvious Jose Ramon Hernandez Reis
is the individual, another illegal who owned the vehicle or
at least had the vehicle registered to him. So he's
driving the vehicle of an illegal alien smuggler. He's bringing
seven people with him, means he is smuggling them as well.

(01:14:56):
And he was allowed off with a warning. He was
allowed to drive away with just a warning if you'd
And this of course was during the time when Biden
was president. There's no question that these people were being
given breaks from orders on high.

Speaker 4 (01:15:11):
There is no question.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
I'm not saying directly from Biden's office because I don't
know if he knew what time of day it was,
but from people high up in the administration.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
They did not want to put a stop to this.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
And this individual then, of course, was granted his status
to stay. And you don't get to deport him to
El Salvador because it's too dangerous.

Speaker 4 (01:15:28):
Blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
The point being though he is a criminal, a violent criminal,
partaking in some of the worst types of crimes that
there are, human smuggling, and this is who the Democrats
are down in El Salvat are trying to jail break now.
They're trying to get this guy out, to bring him
back so that he can resume his activities here in
the United States. Somebody make it makes some sense. That's

(01:15:52):
a challenge to you. I don't think you can do it,
all right, six forty now sky Miken makes some sense
of the draw of the road was sometimes.

Speaker 4 (01:15:59):
Whoever verdbitch here?

Speaker 5 (01:16:00):
All right, we found that problem on iten east that
was outbound at yes, cliff del deal that was outbound.
And we're squished up now from the beltwave. But just
as we were talking, tow truck ninjastruck, it's out of there.
The backup should go pretty quickly. Now you still have
some suckage on that southbound Rep too, Heartytol Road at Richie.

(01:16:21):
What are you doing southbound? Some kind of police activity?
Darren from Spring's gonna give me.

Speaker 4 (01:16:25):
A close up at six point fifty.

Speaker 5 (01:16:27):
Also got Southwest Freeway northbound at the west Loop. That's
a bad spot for wreck even though it's on the
right shoulder. With all that crazy merging that goes on
right there, that'll squish things up. From Chimney Rock a
bit of a skunch on two eighty eight also southbound
that's a stall truck and northbound Only Allison from League
City and people that just sold their yacht can afford

(01:16:47):
those toll lanes on two eighty eight, otherwise you'll get stuck.
A bit of a skunch now from McCart on the northbound.
I'm Skymite at your USA R and Bresorts dot Com
traffic center.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
All right, thanks sir and Terry Smith. The Weather Channel
has our forecast.

Speaker 6 (01:17:01):
Hi Terry, Hey, good morning.

Speaker 18 (01:17:03):
Yeah, it's a quieter stretch of weather, though we still
have submarine possible today, a thirty percent chance of showers
and thunderstorms later on this afternoon. Temperatures today lot to
mid eighties, but starting tomorrow through the weekend no rain, folks,
a mix of sun and clouds. Each day it does
get warmer. Temperatures will run from the mid to upper

(01:17:25):
eighties Friday, Saturday, Sunday and even into Monday.

Speaker 4 (01:17:29):
Okay, thank you, Terry.

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
And right now we still have seventy three at your
official severe weather station, News radio seven forty k t RH.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
You are commute, you are forecast your news. It's Houston's
Morning News, brought to you buying new South Way those solutions.

Speaker 3 (01:17:44):
All right, it is seven forty nine, or excuse me,
six forty nine. Got to check the time a little
more closely there.

Speaker 4 (01:17:49):
So how about it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
You know, you've seen these climate nut jobs destroying, you know,
trying to destroy priceless pieces of art, and they're throwing
paint on things, and they're gluing their hands to paintings
and all kinds of whether nonsense.

Speaker 4 (01:18:01):
They took it now to Trump Tower.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
The New York Police Department confirmed authorities arrested a thirty
six year old lunatic named Nathaniel Smith for spray painting
USA over the presidential plaque of President Trump and then
kneeling on the floor with a small banner that read
game over. I don't exactly know what that's supposed to mean,
but the entire thing was captured on video. Visitors were

(01:18:24):
later seen snapping selfies in front of the defaced plaque.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
As authorities escorted Smith from the building.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
He was heard yelling, this is your country, this is
our country, this is our planet. You cannot ruin it
without comment. They are ruining the planet for profit. End quote.
I'm trying to make some sense to that. I'm not
successful thus far. You cannot ruin it without comment. You
can ruin it apparently if you comment on it, but
you cannot ruin it without comment. He's being charged with

(01:18:52):
a third degree criminal tampering and possession of a graffiti instrument.
The incident comes one day after the environmental activist Grew
Extinction Rebellion spray painted the famous Wall.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
Street charging bull. The group was.

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
Reportedly also behind vandalism at a Tesla's showroom in Lower Manhattan.
Two massives men scrawling F with a couple of other
letters after the F doge and we do not consent
on the storre's windows with spray paint. So yeah, the
lunatics are out in full force, and the Democrats wonder
why they are pulling so low. This is their people,

(01:19:30):
all right, six fifteen. Now let's do trafficking on once again.

Speaker 5 (01:19:32):

twenty five outbound at Preston.

I wanted to make sure that you hear this. Stephen
Miller is.

Speaker 3 (01:21:56):
The white House Deputy chief of Staff in charge of policy.
Stephen Miller is one who does not pull any punches whatsoever,
and it's one of the reasons why the left hates
him as much as, if not more than President Trump
and Elon Musk and the other most loathed figures. But
Elon or I mean Stephen Miller was on Newsmax and
he was asked about a Democrat proposal to pay Kilmar

(01:22:21):
Abrego Garcia for having unfairly deported him. The Maryland Man too,
the El Salvador in prison. Listen to the question and
listen to Stephen Miller's response.

Speaker 36 (01:22:33):
They've gone nuts and the optics of it are just unbelievable.
Sheldon Whitehouse is talking about seeking damages from the government
for Abrego Garcia he's talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
A million dollars a day.

Speaker 36 (01:22:45):
He wants to find the US government for the deportation
of an illegal alien who has been found in a
couple of different instances to be an MS thirteen gang member.
What on earth could possibly Where are.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
The damages for Americans?

Speaker 12 (01:23:00):
I don't know how much time I have here, but
I mean, for the love of God, where are the
damages for Americans?

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
Where do I even begin? Where do I even start?

Speaker 12 (01:23:08):
We used to have a functioning public school system in
this country.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
Then we had open borders.

Speaker 12 (01:23:12):
Now our schools are in chaos and disarray. We need
hundreds of translators. Nobody's learning how to read or write.
An entire generation of Americans, multiple generations, in fact, have
been robbed of educational opportunities.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Entire cities.

Speaker 12 (01:23:25):
Look at Los Angeles, once a paradise of safety, security,
and prosperity, entire neighborhoods occupied and controlled by foreign gangs.
Where do all the residents who've been displaced, who've been
forced out of Los Angeles, where do they go to
get their reparations? And then what about the victims of
fentantl poisoning brought in by Democrats? Open border, hundreds of
thousands of moms and dads whose kids are dead and

(01:23:47):
buried in the ground, Where do they go to get
their reparations from the government? And then all the women
who have been raped, who'd been beaten, who'd been murdered,
all the dads who've been shot dead and home, all
the police officers who have been slain by illegal aliens
in ambush attacks in the line of duty.

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
Where are the reparations for the victims.

Speaker 4 (01:24:09):
It's a great question.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):

of the best hires that President Trump made when he

(01:33:35):
posted on My facebook page by that name last night
about this. Story not, now not until the deportation phase
is well on its. Way And i'm talking about the
article that you just heard From. Cliff The Wall Street
journal Wants President trump to open up MORE h ONE b,
visas to end the visa caps and allow more people

(01:33:58):
into the country, legally since we have such a great
control now ninety nine percent decrease in the legal crossings
at the, border you, know the southern, border you, know
compared to where it was with The biden administration last.
Year so they're, calling AND i do understand the, point
but not. Yet we still have twelve to fifteen million

(01:34:20):
more illegal immigrants in this country now than we did
four years. Ago and so far The trump, Administration, Ice
Homeland security and, others you, Know Christino, home they're doing
a great job of getting rid of criminal, illegals despite
dozens and dozens of injunctions trying to stop them from doing.
It but they're not even close to getting the massive
numbers of people that came over here out of the,

(01:34:42):
country and you have to do that. First you want
to open up the job market to legal immigrants by
way of THE h ONE v, visa, fine But americans
have to have first. DIBs it is literally What America first.
Means President trump ran on, that he ran ON, maga
but he ran On america. First that those are the two,
slogans and that does mean Putting americans. First american workers

(01:35:05):
get first crack at all jobs before they go to
foreigners that are being brought in by way.

take on the. Day all, right it is a seven.

Speaker 4 (01:38:12):
Eighteen good morning to you once.

Speaker 3 (01:38:14):
Again So Vice President Jenny vance is getting a lot
of attention for his very strong statement About ukraine And,
russia telling them they need to get to this table
and get this thing done and end it, now or
The United states is going to seize its efforts and
walk away because it's not our, war it is their.
War he's also speaking on The Kilmar, garcia A Brigo garcia,

(01:38:36):
issue saying it is preposterous to think that we can't
deport gang.

Speaker 39 (01:38:40):
Members, LOOK i just disagree with the idea that he
hasn't been offered due.

Speaker 6 (01:38:44):
Process he had a couple of immigration.

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
Hearings he had a valid deportation.

Speaker 39 (01:38:48):
ORDER i think this idea that somehow that we couldn't
deport AN ms thirteen gang member and he was AN
ms thirteen gang, member is. Preposterous AND i think there's
actually a deeper issue going, on which is that you
see some radical judges at the district court level who
are trying to layer so much quote unquote process on
top of the immigration system that.

Speaker 4 (01:39:09):
It makes it impossible to.

Speaker 39 (01:39:10):
Function we over twenty million illegal aliens in The United
states Of. America are we not allowed to deport?

Speaker 17 (01:39:15):
Them because if.

Speaker 39 (01:39:16):
We're not allowed to deport, them then what these district
courts are saying is fundamentally they reject the will of
The american people as it was expressed In november twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:39:25):
Four we just project.

Speaker 39 (01:39:27):
THAT i believe The american people Elected President trump to
do many, jobs but perhaps the most important job was
to bring down the number of illegal immigration in this.

Speaker 4 (01:39:35):
Country that's what he's trying to.

Speaker 39 (01:39:37):
Do we're going to keep on doing, it.

Speaker 4 (01:39:38):
And that is exactly what he has.

Speaker 3 (01:39:40):
Done, obviously the crossings at the southern border are at
virtually an all time, low literally ninety nine and a
half percent lower than they were Under Joe biden a
year ago at the same. Time so clearly that is,
working and that is, what by the, way has led
To The Wall Street journal arguing that it's time to
open up THE h ONE b visa program a little bit,

(01:40:00):
more no more, caps bring in as many legal immigrants
as companies need to. Hire that's a subject that is
up for, debate And breitbart kind of just agrees with.
It and we're going to talk To Bob price at
least we're scheduled to here in just a couple of

Number sixteen billion dollars stolen by Cybercriminals.

Speaker 4 (01:41:50):
Swile so we're having a hard time.

Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
Making our connection here With Bob price From, Breitbart BUT
i will tell you a little bit about the story
because it's. Important with the border crossings at almost an
all time low in ninety nine and a half percent
lower than it was a year, ago AS i, mentioned
Under Joe, biden The Wall Street journalist is calling for
this increase IN hb one visas to allow more legal

(01:42:13):
migrants to come into.

Speaker 4 (01:42:14):
The country and do work that needs being.

Speaker 3 (01:42:16):
Done the political, question Writes, brightbart about Whether President trump
can use the political capital from his border victory to
achieve a more lasting immigration. Success the pro migration editors
of The Wall street journal say they say That President
trump's For President trump's opportunity for immigration success should quote

(01:42:37):
include more pathways for legal immigration to address the labor
needs of a growing. Economy half of small businesses say
one of their largest problems is finding. Workers If President
trump wants more fruits and vegetables grown at, home who's
going to pick. Them it's funny how everybody just assumes
everybody comes into this country illegally is here to pick.
Vegetables it's, really really. Weird If trump Wants Silicon valley

(01:43:01):
to win THE ai, race wire h one b skilled
visa workers capped at a low, number and hand it
out by.

Speaker 4 (01:43:07):
Lottery the newspaper this Is breitbart.

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
Now the newspaper's, illegal, bad legal good message comes As
President trump's deputies are charting a course back to a lower,
migration high Productivity United, states away from the post nineteen
ninety cheap labor economy that transfers Ordinary americans wages into
profits for quarterly CEOs And Wall street. Investors this is
important information. Here the promise of cheap labor foreign workers

(01:43:36):
is a drug that too Many american firms get addicted,
to and cheap labor is a problem precisely because it's
been bad for. Innovation those words came from Again Vice PRESIDENT. Jd,
vance he tolds his audience of investors back In, march
real innovation makes us more, productive but it, ALSO i,
think dignifies our. Workers it boosts our standard of, living

(01:43:58):
it strengthens our work and the relative value of its.
Labor breitbart notes that they have been absolutely anti, migration
both legal and, illegal to a certain extent Until americans
have all opportunities presented to.

Speaker 4 (01:44:14):
Them first.

Speaker 3 (01:44:15):
Reading breitbart has posted many articles about migration's harmful impact
on productivity and, innovation and also how tight labor markets
help pressure companies to invest in a low wage or
in the lowage let me try to again invest in
wage boosting automation and productivity in the white collar, sector
the idea has been visa programs created By congress and

(01:44:38):
executives such AS h ONE B j ONE l ONE
cpt and other programs have imported Debilitating indian style office
politics into a wide range of CRITICAL us, companies Including, INTEL, Ibm, Twitter.
Boeing the damage was recently spotlighted By. Citibank this again
according To Breitbart, now which announced it with Sharply we're

(01:45:00):
use its reliance on foreign contractors after the contractors cost
the company at least six hundred million dollars in routine
operations and regulatory. Incompetence the bottom line here Being breitbart
is arguing against The Wall Street journal and so are many,
others that it is not the time to open up
THE h ONE B j ONE l ONE cpt and

(01:45:20):
all of these other visa programs importing more people in
until a we can complete the full on largest deportation
ever endeavored by The United. States that's What President trump,
promised and then b That american workers get first opportunities
at those, jobs including those highly skilled positions that are

(01:45:43):
being earmarked for legal immigrants into this country through those.
Programs Give americans the first, opportunity is the, point AND
i concur With breitbart that is exactly what has to happen.
Here AND i think The Wall street journal is jumping the. Gun,
okay let's check in now and get A Bloomberg Business
report and see what's happening in the markets. Today at

(01:46:05):
twenty six minutes after the, hour here Is denise.

Speaker 19 (01:46:08):
Pellgree, yeah it looks like THE us And, china and
this is something being very closely watched On Wall. Street
it looks like they may not be making progress on
trade issues after, all at least not any that we can.
See China's ministry Of commerce spokesperson says there are no
talks and any reports to the contrary are. Groundless you

(01:46:29):
Recall President trump said yesterday everything is active when he
was asked by reporters if he was engaging With china
and trade. Issues stock futures right, now they're mixed, out
futures down one hundred and ninety EIGHT smp futures down
Nine nasdaq. Futures they are up by just a couple of.

Thirty seven now coming up here in a few we're
going to Talk With Texas State Senator. Adam josa we're
going to talk about A bill sb twenty two to
thirty three that he wrote to protect or, excuse me
to prohibit student visa holders from supporting terrorist activity. At
universities cliffman reporting on this, this morning and the bill
seeks to enhance security and integrity in higher. Education institutions

(01:54:37):
it would require universities to adopt policies banning students and
employees with non immigrant visas from supporting terrorist activities or
persuading others to. Do so violations might result in a
one year suspension or expulsion for students and termination. For
employees the bill would also mandate reporting such incidents To

(01:54:59):
the Department of Homeland. And security and the bill follows
increased concerns about. Student protests we All Know president trump
has withdrawn withheld two point two billion Dollars from harvard
for their failure to crack down on The anti semitism
and The pro Hamas pro palestinian, you know protests and

(01:55:19):
demonstrations that Have made jewish students afraid to even. Cross
CAMPUS and i believe, He Also president trump is moving
to provoke their tax exempt Status. At harvard harvard probably
won't feel it because they have a fifty three billion,
dollar endowment but this is a this is, a principle
and it's an important one. As well So, in texas
this is something that could be coming at, state universities

(01:55:42):
something that says you cannot allow these types of, pro, terrorists,
protests demonstrations whatever it is that you want to, call
them to continue from, foreign students because quite obviously we
should be protecting people who are, here Legally protecting. American
citizens and, more so we're going to Talk to adam,

(01:56:04):
You know hosa coming up here in just A few,
he is, of COURSE as, I Said texas. State senator
and it's a. Big deal it's a statement that needs to.
Be made i've got another story THIS morning i hadn't
been touched on Yet, From yale But at yale Students
there jewish students there are literally afraid to come out
of their dorms and to. Cross campus this is something

(01:56:26):
we've Seen, At columbia we've Seen, at harvard we have
seen at a number of the other quote unquote. Elite
universities but this story is new AND like, i said
it's From mel so this is something that needs to
be done to protect students and, all persons making them
feel safe on their, campus basis and to have foig
nationals coming in which is what this bill, is targeting

(01:56:49):
to have four nationals coming in here and cheering on
foreign terrorist organizations like hamas and making the victims of
organizations like that feel like they are. They're unsafe that
flies in the Face of. America first and it, is

Speaker 4 (01:59:27):
Windows, solutions okay it is.

Speaker 3 (01:59:31):
Seven, Forty seven so coming up here in a few
after we check on, traffic again we're going to Talk
To State senator Adam here nojosa about this Bill in
texas that would stop prohibit student, visa holders in, other
words foreign nationals here on student visas from supporting. Terrorist
activities and here's the reason why this is a. Different
state obviously we're Talking, about yale but this is exactly

(01:59:54):
what we're seeing here and happening in far too. Many
locations it's Happening, at harvard Happening at columbia and a
number of the, other ivs and it's Happening. AT yale
a student There Named. Nataniel CRISP crisp, i believe Said
my jewish FRIENDS and i were blocked from walking through our.

(02:00:14):
Own campus we pay tuition to access, these Spaces but
yale has allowed The anti semitic mob to take over
and shut. Us out and it's accompanied by a video
Of these jewish students literally being blocked by a bunch
of the tablecloth wearers who are, screaming Free. Free Palestine
and i'm talking about those checkered flag or checkered tablecloth

(02:00:36):
looking things that they got over their heads and over,
their faces and they're all harassing and Intimidating to jewish Students.
At yale this is happening in far too many. Places
Now these jewish students have every bit as much of
a right to move freely on these campuses without fear of, being,
harassed intimidated targeted by people who are. Potentially dangerous, after

(02:00:58):
all when you are support supporting a terrorist ORGANIZATION, like
amas that makes you a, terrorist sympathizer and terror sympathizers
are not very much different, than terrorists maybe the only
difference being opportunity opportunity to carry. It out but if
you are literally An anti Israel pro hamas demonstrator and

(02:01:20):
you're a, foreign national you shouldn't. Be here you absolutely shouldn't,
be here and you certainly shouldn't be allowed to do
this on. These campuses that's what this bill is about About.
In texas that's, an EXAMPLE like, i said from bil
but this is this is SOMETHING that i think absolutely
has to be. Done here so we're going to Talk
to senator You, know hosu who did author THAT bill

(02:01:40):

Speaker 4 (02:03:19):
In, austin okay there. You go that would.

Speaker 3 (02:03:22):
Be, Expected Okay, so senator let's talk a little bit
about twenty two. Thirty three first, of all tell us
the reason. Behind it then we'll talk about what it would. Effectively,
do well, you.

Speaker 37 (02:03:34):
Know this bill basically is just, just requiring, you know
a faerily scope for students enrolled at or employees of
institutions of higher education to basically adopt policy.

Speaker 1 (02:03:53):
That, would basically.

Speaker 37 (02:03:58):
It would require that anybody supporting terrorist activities would not
be eligible to go to that. School anymore we, you
know it would create an investigative measure according to, that
policy and it would it would, you know also have
some penalties for any students that are going to be

(02:04:20):
participating in terrorist activity in, Our, colleges.

Speaker 4 (02:04:25):
Senator is the term terrorist activity defined in? The bill
what does?

Speaker 16 (02:04:29):
That, mean well it References The.

Speaker 37 (02:04:31):
Federal code that is is actually defines the Extremely well
title eight Of The United, states code section eleven, eighty
two where terrorist activity is is, you know. Succinctly defined,
you know we've. That that we're not trying to change
the definition of what terrorist.

Speaker 1 (02:04:49):
Activity is we're.

Speaker 37 (02:04:51):
Just simply, saying that, you know and this is also
narrowly scopes to non. Immigrant, Visas right so it's either
a student enrolled at or an employee.

Speaker 4 (02:04:59):
Of it it's tution who hold a non.

Speaker 37 (02:05:02):
Immigrant, Visa okay, so basically, you know these are people
who are coming. Here, temporarily uh, you know and it
it uh basically, you know even Even the Secretary of
state has Waighed In marco rubio, and, said look and,
you know we wouldn't offer visas to anybody who is
going to outwardly, Say hey i'm coming To The united

(02:05:24):
states to support terrorists.

Speaker 7 (02:05:25):
To.

Speaker 37 (02:05:26):
Activity right we wouldn't even offer.

Speaker 4 (02:05:28):
Those visas to to to people who who would.

Speaker 37 (02:05:30):
Admit that so if they're a lying to us and
their whole intent is to Come to america to disrupt
our our college campuses and and and participate in. Terrorist
activity then, you know it's already been shown that, that uh,
You know Secretary of state on federal side.

Speaker 4 (02:05:45):
Has, has uh, you know.

Speaker 37 (02:05:47):
Rescinded visas and then once the visa, is rescinded then
then that person is no longer. Here, legally uh then
we can, you know follow the measures to, you know
support them or whatever we need to do to stop
them from disrupting the education of.

Speaker 4 (02:06:02):
Our, children yeah that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:04):
Makes sense we're TALKING With Us Texas State Senator adam
herejos a terrorist activity defined IN Eight usc section eleven.
Eighty two that you were talking about people who engage
in terrorist acts or quote endorse or espouse, terrorist activity
or persuade others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or
support a terrorist organization. End quote the statute includes being

(02:06:26):
a part of a, quote, political social or other group
that endorses or espouses terrorist activity. End, Quote, so senator
we're looking at, college campuses, for example in all over,
the country Not, just texas but all over the country
where a lot of These pro Palestinian anti israel demonstrations are.
Taking place is it able to be interpreted that A

(02:06:47):
pro palestinian display Is, pro hamas which of course. Is voted,
you know they were voted into Power in gaza By
the palestinian. People there if you Are pro palestine And
anti israel and demonstrating, s much does that qualify as
engaging in support of?

Speaker 4 (02:07:03):
TERRORIST activity.

Speaker 37 (02:07:06):
I don't think that, necessarily does unless it starts to
get into one of the measures defined succinctly in the.

Speaker 4 (02:07:12):
Terrorist.

Speaker 37 (02:07:13):
Activity uh, you know, for example, you know if they're
supporting the ACTIONS, of amas whether it's, you know suggested
or not in terms of, you know, you know kidnapping
people or, you know beheading.

Speaker 17 (02:07:30):
Civilians or any of those kinds.

Speaker 37 (02:07:31):
Of things but it's it's an act with the intent
to endanger directly or indirectly the safety of one or,
more individuals or to cause substantial damage.

Speaker 4 (02:07:40):
To property those those in.

Speaker 37 (02:07:41):
Those ways if they're, doing it participating in any of
that kind, of activity whether it's a MOS isis ms
thirteen or any other organization that they're supporting with, those
measures it's that that's where that can.

Speaker 3 (02:07:54):
Be, applied so according to an ARTICLE that i read
in the Text In governor abbott is supportive of this, Said,
Quote lee let's get this to my Desk and i'll
make it Law. In texas so you have the support of.
The governor where are we in. The process how quickly
can we get this? Vote in do you expect it
to get to?

Speaker 1 (02:08:11):
The, governor well we've already laid it out.

Speaker 37 (02:08:14):
In committee i'm expecting a vote on, it soon and
then once that gets out, of committee obviously we'll have
a floor debate.

Speaker 4 (02:08:22):
And we can get it moving along.

Speaker 37 (02:08:23):
The Process but i'm hopeful that we'll get a vote
either this week or early, next week and then we
can get along in. The process, you know generally shortly
after our committee hearings and voted out of. Committee committees
we've been working very very diligently On the, senate side
and we've been pushing. Out BILLS so i don't see
this getting jammed up for too much longer.

Speaker 4 (02:08:44):
Sounds reasonable hopefully sooner rather.

Speaker 3 (02:08:46):
Than Later Texas State senator Adam, Here, hosa adam thank
you for, The. Time senator we appreciate it.

Speaker 37 (02:08:51):
