about last year.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
He's got a lot of people that are talking to
him on this as well. It gets delayed, and they
know the spotlight is on him right now to make
sure this is done right. I don't foresee any negative

Speaker 3 (07:09):
The most important issue, what matters to you concerns me.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The most matters to us the US economy, not all
one k fun use Radio seven forty ktr H.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I think one of the most fun things to do
is to imagine what you would do if you were
to win the lottery. What what would you do with
all that money?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You know?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
One morning, when I was doing my morning show in
another city, I there was a local lottery winner. Somebody
won a fortune in the lottery, and I spent I realized,
this is a little bit deceitful, but I had a
lot of fun with it. I pretended I was the
one that won the lottery, and that I was. I
(07:55):
think it was like forty one million dollars. Was the
was the jackpot, and I spent the forty one million
dollars before I got off the air three hours later,
and I kept listing things that I was going to
buy with my lottery winnings until I had spent all
the money. And it was the most fun, I think,
one of the most fun things I've ever done. I
had a lot of fun spending money I didn't have
(08:16):
on things I didn't really buy. So it's always fun
to imagine what you would do if it was you,
and maybe we could all be in that position right now.
Bill Gates, he says he's going to give away his
fortune in the next twenty years, winding down his Gates
Foundation by December thirty first, twenty forty five. Now I
don't know if Bill Gates, who's going to live for
(08:37):
the next twenty years. But he says what he wants
to do, but what he doesn't want to do I
guess more properately, he doesn't want to die rich. He
wants to I mean, he doesn't want to die poor,
but he doesn't want to die rich. He wants to
see where the money goes. He wants to know the
money is helping people. Now you can argue about whether
or not Bill Gates causes are the kind of things
(08:57):
that you would like to see helped, but they've already
given away, like one hundred and eight billion dollars or
one hundred billion dollars. I guess he has another one
hundred eight billion dollars that he currently is still worth.
So with all that and is, he's got more money
than he could ever hope to figure out how to spend.
(09:19):
And he wants for nothing. So sure he can give
it away, nothing to worry about. Maybe you would give
it away too before you died. Here's my question. I'm
going to give you. I'm going to give all of
us a theoretical one hundred billion dollars. You have one
hundred billion dollars, it's yours. What are you going to
do with it? Go to the iHeartRadio ap KTRH. Please
(09:42):
make us number one hundred preset. I'll get you there
a lot quicker. I hit the talkback button. You've got
thirty seconds. First name where he's calling from. You have
one hundred billion dollars? What are you going to do
with it? Have a little fun with this five ten
time for traffic and weather together.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Buy that little lot a crust from NRG, and I'm
gonna build an exact replica of Astra World, exactly like
it was.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
All right, how much would that cost? Oh my gosh,
a hundred million? No, no, no, a couple of million.
No more than a couple million, you think really? Yep?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
See I you're going to sports tea. You've got to
figure this out. Skind Mike, You've got to figure how
much would that cost to do? Subtract that from your
one hundred billion dollars. Move on to your next project.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So I don't have.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Enough money to buy the Grand Parkway?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You probably don't, all right.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I'll buy the Grand Parkway and the golf ball terry.
Let's go over here by two ninety checkout Rose Hill.
I love this little area one of the you know,
like years from now, We're all gonna be like I
remember when there was nothing on Grand Parkway between two
ninety and Rose Hill, because you know now there's nothing
between two ninety and Rose Hill. Years from now that
will change. Getting over to Tomball, we look good. Two

Speaker 13 (11:21):
Friday's part of the weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Sure, as far as I'm concerned it is.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yeah, we have a three day weekend. Every weekend. We
just started off with a little work. Well, it's not
looking too bad. We've had a little bit of rain
overnight that is on its way out. That area of
low pressure is moving eastward. I'll call it a twenty
percent chance of a shower thunderstorm for today. The big
change for us is the cooler temperatures that we have,
(11:48):
not just today, but really through the weekend. Upper seventies
to low eighties. A very comfortable day. Tonight, dry temperatures
in the sixties. Tomorrow, we do have a thirty percent
chance of some showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon.
Still comfortable upper seventies to low eighty. Sunday is even cooler,
(12:08):
sunny and dry, mid upper seventies on Mother's Day. But
after that Mother Nature starts to crank up the heat.

Morning News team.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
All the info you need.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
To take on the day, five twenty is our time
here in Houston's Morning News. So everybody thinks this is
a pretty big deal, right that we have an American
pope and first time in history. So yeah, it's kind
of a big deal that there's an American pope, Pope
Leo the fourteenth. He's from Chicago. What kind of pope
will he be? I've heard all kinds of crazy rumors
(13:00):
a here he's a Republican. Well, first of all, he's
from Chicago, so that takes down the chances of him
being a Republican rather significantly.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Number two is we're hearing that he is he's much
in the mold of Pope Francis, his predecessor, so that
certainly would not make him a Republican. So I think
we a lot of these things that we're seeing, you
kind of have to take it with a grain of salt.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Here.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Raylan de Royo, staunch Catholic who works for Fox News,
follows all things having to do with Catholicism in Rome
for the Conclave, reports on what he's been able to
ascertain about who Pope Leo the fourteenth is coming up
next first though traffic and weather together.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
Good Morning five twenty two on news Radio seven forty

and UK. The trade deal with the UK is the
first to be reached since Trump unveiled those tariffs. Transportation

The stock market. Cashi in on our updates. Trump's terriffs.
What use Radio seven k t r H.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I read something kind of interesting about the papal conclave.
You know, there's so much history behind it. It goes back.
Of course they've been picking popes. You know, they've done
too how many now, two hundred and sixty seven popes
or something that that there's certain foods that are not
allowed to eat when they're in the conclave. When they're
when they're you know, locked into the chapel, they bring
(15:56):
them food. They allowed them to sleep, but uh, they're
sutent foods, like, for example, they can't have a whole
roasted chicken. They also can't have pasta where you could
hide a note or a message. It's tradition. I guess
it happened back way back in the day that you know,
all kinds of crazy things would happen during the conclave.
They even had food testers to make sure that somebody
(16:19):
wasn't trying to poison the people voting for the pope,
you know, the cardinals. Here is Raymond de Royo talking
about Pope Leo the fourteenth. Who is this guy, what
does he stand for? What kind of a pope will
he likely be?
Speaker 15 (16:33):
We can't say that the man that he was will
necessarily be the pope that he'll be tomorrow. But here
the general outlines. You know, he's from Chicago. He's known
as more of a progressive in the church. If you
liked Pope Francis, you're gonna love Leo the fourteenth. That
would be my bumper sticker on this. Okay, he's very
much in the same model. Even in his speech there
(16:55):
at the Loggia today he said, we have to be
a sonodyl church to go out and counter and dialogue
with each other in the world, that we have to
walk with one another. That is classic Pope Francis lingo.
And I'll tell you what it means, because who knows
what sonadel means.
Speaker 13 (17:09):
They don't even know. The bishops don't even know. What
it basically means.
Speaker 15 (17:12):
Is to democratize and open up the decision making in
the church, even the practice and the doctrine.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Of the faith.
Speaker 15 (17:20):
Pope Francis believed not just bringing cardinals together to help
him shape the teaching or perfect it for the time,
but inviting everybody in, including atheists and non believers and
young people.
Speaker 13 (17:32):
And you know, a selected hand.
Speaker 15 (17:34):
Group of priests he liked, and a few other cardinals,
but not the entire college of cardinals, and part of
the result of this particular Pope will Is because Pope
Francis chose one hundred and eight of the one hundred
and thirty three electors, so you.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
Imagined it might tend this way, even.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Though you thought, well, they're from such far flung parts
of the world, they may not be ideologically cohered. But
it turns out they may have been one of the
major that I've spoken to a couple of cardinal since
the election. Money was a big issue. Will the Church
is basically broke. The Wall Street Journal did a piece
the other day or two billion dollars in deficits four
(18:11):
hundred million dollars in pension debts that they can't pay all.
So a lot of these African cardinals and Asian cardinals
and those from other parts of the world thought, get.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
An American in here.
Speaker 15 (18:24):
They can help clean up and get the books in
order make the trains run on time.
Speaker 13 (18:28):
This guy's been working here for three years in the Vatican.
Speaker 15 (18:31):
He's head of the bishop's Dicastro Robert Privos now Leo,
so he knows a bit of the machinations here, but
he's a little bit of an outsider. So they thought
maybe he can help reform the place and at least
bring it to financial solvency.
Speaker 13 (18:46):
That's a piece of it.
Speaker 15 (18:47):
But there's a much bigger challenge for this Pope will
and that is to clarify Christian and Catholic doctrine, to
make it clear.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I never would have thought that maybe there's a business
component to this, right. The Catholic Church basically broke and
they need to balance the lecture of the books. They
have a pension problem. Even the Catholic Church has real
world problems as it relates to the business world, but
they have all these pensions they're paying out five twenty six.
(19:16):

Jessicav On with the Center for Immigration Study says that

Speaker 12 (21:52):
No, it's not the answer legal immigration and illegal immigration,
right now are almost like two sides.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Of the same coin, a costly coin for the US.

Our country simply cannot absorb that many newcomers in such

administration's most consequential immigration policy decisions. Attorneys for the immigrants
say the administration has an incorrect reading of the law

He says, it's an urgent need.
Speaker 18 (23:47):
If we don't actually accomplish the mission that we're announcing today,
you will see Newarks not just in Newark, You'll see
Newarks in other parts of the country because it's an
agent system.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Several air incidents in recent months were linked to air
traffic control staffing or equipment problems. The Food and Drug
Administration is restructuring under the Trump administration, laying off over
three thousand workers. Commissioner of Food and Drug Marty mac
Retelling Fox it's a shift of the FBA's mission back
to people's health.
Speaker 13 (24:20):
In the last administration.
Speaker 19 (24:21):
Number one priority, the commissioner stated, was fighting misinformation, and
the DEI staff ballooned out, we want to focus on
cures and meaningful treatments. We believe in the letter and
the spirit of right to try.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
The AHHS has ordered to restore some employees who were
laid off, including those in the nine to eleven program.
A meeting between FDA leadership and the agency's union was

Thursday to follow President Trump's lead renaming the Gulf of
Mexico to the Golf of America. All Republicans voted yes,
(24:56):
except for Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon. All Democrats voted no.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
These are two hundred and eleven. The nays are two
hundred and six. The bill has passed without objection. Emotion
to reconsider is late on the table.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green had introduced the bill,
mirroring the president's recent executive order. The City of Euston's
financial directors says that the city could face a deficit
of around five hundred million dollars over the next few years.
Mayor John Whitmyer can work to fix this, but city
council can wind up standing in his way as well.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I think the counselors are going to do that for
their own political game. But I also think there's certain
people that are trying to hurt Whitmyer.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
They're going to.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Vote opposite Whitmyer just to sort of give him something.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
That's former city Councilman Greg Travis. He says it's all
a result of former Mayor Sylvester Turner wasting COVID funds
and putting off important maintenance projects until now. Businesses are
looking beyond colleges to high schools now to find skilled workers.
Speaker 20 (25:58):
Some high school students are all ready getting seventy thousand
dollars per year job offers from companies looking for those
in skilled trades. Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rotels Fox,
this is the future of high paying work in.
Speaker 21 (26:09):
The automotive industry. I got sixty seven thousand openings right
now for skilled tradesmen. They can't find them. This is
the year we're going to be talking about what is
happening in terms of this recruiting crisis.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
The chickens are coming home to rout.
Speaker 20 (26:24):
Any companies are partnering with high schools for trade programs
to develop a new generation of skilled workers due to
the retirement of baby boomers. Corey Jolson, Who's Radio seven

Today five thirty seven, our time here in Houston's morning news. Right.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
If you live in China Grove and you are a
Chinese nationalist citizen of China, actual citizen of Communist China,
you will no longer be able to buy a home
or run a home. The Texas legislature GOP sponsored bill
has passed a bill by a measure of eighty five
(27:28):
to sixty that would prevent hostile nations citizens of hostile
nations to the United States from purchasing or renting homes
and property here in Texas. Again, eighty five to sixty
was the vote. That would include North Korea, it would
include China, it would include Iran. You know, those are
(27:53):
the three most notable ones that it would include. The
opponent's claim that it is is racist. Of course, it's
Asian discrimination. The bill will not go on to governor
for his signature. But here's what Alice Ye of Asian
(28:14):
Texans for Justice said, quote, this is a totally racist
bill sugar coated by Homeland Security. She called it a
partisan issue against the Asian community. Gene Wu got into debate.
He's state representative, Democrat, got into a debate with a
sponsor of the bill, state Representative Cole Hefner, saying that,
(28:37):
you know, he accused the state rep of sponsoring bill
that was racist, and the response from state representation Cole
Hefner was the bill does not apply to legal permanent residents.
So if you are from China or North Korea or
Iran and your legal permanent resident, in other words, you've
been fully vetted. You can purchase a home, you can
(28:59):
run a home like anybody else can. But if you
are a citizen of those nations hostile to the United States.
You'd all longer can where's the discrimination? How many countries
in the world allow people from just anywhere to come
in and buy property and live on that property. We're
one of the few countries they give you any sort
(29:19):
of opportunity to do that. So again it goes on
to the governor's signature, and it will be on Texas
Wall my forty time for traffic and weather together.

Mother's Day weekends coming up, and it looks like Mother's
Day is going to be picture perfect this year.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
Oh yeah, you know, whatever Mom likes to do, the
weather definitely is going to cooperate. There's hardly any rain
over the weekend. The temperatures are so comfortable, and that
changes next week very quickly, So I hope you get
a chance to enjoy some time outside. Twenty percent chance
of a shower thunderstorm today, that's it. It is cooler,
(30:42):
upper seventies to low eighties. Today, we have a thirty
percent chance of some afternoon thundershowers. Tomorrow, still upper seventies
to low eighties. Sunday's even cooler. It's dry, sunny, and
highs in the mid to upper seventies. But starting Monday
and then for the next several days, not only are
we dry, but those temperatures are heating up into the
(31:03):
eighties and we could be talking about some ninety degree
readings starting Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
And here we go gurn temperature sixty eight at your
official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty ktrh. Well,
in a trade agreement would be nice too, five forty
eight our time. Yes, we have a trade agreement with
the United Kingdom. There is love between our two countries.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik on how they got the deal together.
Speaker 22 (31:30):
It does a little bit. Well, remember we had balance
trade with the UK.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
If when we do our deal with the European Union,
that is top top topic because.
Speaker 22 (31:39):
Remember the European Union's got a two hundred and fifty
billion dollar trade deficit with China and they have a
two hundred and thirty five billion trade surplus with US.
So the Chinese just go through Europe to come at us, right,
they come at us through Vietnam. You wouldn't think they
come at us through Europe, but they do. But the
Britain is really opening market five billion dollars of new
(32:03):
opportunity for Americans to export to Britain where we already
had a balanced trade. And what we did is we
helped him out. As you pointed out, we said, you
know what, you can keep your auto industry. You can
only go down to ten percent, you can keep it.
It's only one hundred thousand cars we import, and you
know we sell sixteen million cars a year, so one
(32:23):
hundred thousand's okay.
Speaker 23 (32:25):
Are you handling the freight on the European Union?
Speaker 22 (32:28):
I am, In fact, I do virtually all the countries.
Scott is obviously focused on China and he does a
few Asian countries with me.
Speaker 13 (32:37):
But basically I'm the driver of the template.
Speaker 22 (32:40):
Together with USTR, right, Ambassador.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Greer, but I'm the driver of it.
Speaker 22 (32:44):
That's why we got this deal done because we were
able to move on cars, we were able to move
on airplane parts, right, commercial airplane parts. We made a
deal and said, you know what, Rolls Royce engines can
come into America and tire free and get put on
Boeing jets.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
That's perfectly fine. And what did they turn around and do?
They turned around and announced.
Speaker 22 (33:03):
They We're going to buy ten billion dollars worth of
Boeing jets on top of that. So this is the
kind of right, kind of deal you want to do
with a country, a friends, someone who's.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Willing to open their markets.
Speaker 13 (33:13):
We help them.
Speaker 22 (33:14):
We're gonna sell them beef and they're going to buy
less beef from other countries. So I think that's the
way they balanced it.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
It's great for us.
Speaker 22 (33:22):
Remember five billion of new opportunity to export and six
billion dollars of new tariff revenue into the United States
of America to that external revenue service.
Speaker 13 (33:32):
Here we come, here, we come, here, we come.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Okay, Supposedly the automakers are not super happy forward in
general motors that there's no tariffs on the British imports,
because they're the bit they're saying, and they've got a
point that there are vehicles that they produce through the
NAFTA deal in Mexico, for example, that are more fifty
(33:55):
percent or more American parts that are subject to tariffs. Well,
the British ones that have no American parts are no
longer subject to tariffs. Five point fifty one time for

Is?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Do you know that.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Doctor Jill and Joe were on the View for the
entire hour? Oh yeah, I mean he's trying big time
to rebuild his legacy and to deny that he has
any mental capability problems whatsoever. Here's Greg Guttfeld having some
fun with this.
Speaker 23 (36:19):
You know who just stunk up the view that Biden
joined the View this morning for the entire hour.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
The audience was caught off guard.
Speaker 23 (36:27):
But knew something was up when they saw a dozen
Secret Service agents and two embalmbers. There were a few
awkward moments, though, when it confused, Joe asked if.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
He could bid on the showcase. But was he surprised?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Kamala lost.
Speaker 11 (36:45):
I was a surprise because they went the root of
the sexishirt all the whole roote.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I mean, that's just a woman. She's this.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
Really, I've never seen quite as successful and consistent campaign,
undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country
and a woman of mixed race.
Speaker 24 (37:08):
Yeah, that's exactly what happened, you, lying sacket. It was
it was mixed drinks, not mixed races.
Speaker 23 (37:25):
True, though Joe may be demented, but I guess being
a conniving race baiting loon.
Speaker 13 (37:29):
Is the last thing to go.
Speaker 23 (37:31):
Biden also trash Trump, asking why he's going after people's healthcare?
Speaker 11 (37:36):
Why is he going after people's health care and social security?
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Why is he doing that? What possible reason is.
Speaker 23 (37:42):
That Joe's obviously confused, But it was worse during the break,
you know, when he kept calling whoopee regis.
Speaker 24 (37:54):
The Biden's also addressed his cognitive abilities.
Speaker 25 (37:57):
Since you left office, there have been a number of
books that have come out deeply sourced from democratic sources,
that claim in your final year there was a dramatic
decline in your cognitive abilities. What is your response to
these allegations.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Are these sources wrong? You are wrong.
Speaker 11 (38:14):
There's nothing to sustain that.
Speaker 26 (38:16):
The people who wrote those books were not in the
White House with us, and they didn't see how hard
Joe worked every single day. I mean he'd get up,
he put in a full day, and then at night
he would I'd be in bed, you know, reading my book,
and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings,
(38:38):
working with staff.
Speaker 13 (38:40):
I mean it was non stop, right, Jill.
Speaker 24 (38:46):
And you're an actual doctor, now, no one you've got
her degree off a box of frosted flakes.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Complete denial. It's a it's a feeble attempt. Feeble keyword here,
feeble attempt to rewrite history. This is the I'm going
to go around and show everybody that these books about
me are wrong. And I was a great president and
if I had, if I'd stuck in there, I would
have won. And the only reason why he didn't vote
for your Kamala is because you're all you' all are sexist.

all that money?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You know?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
One morning, when I was doing my morning show in
another city, I there was a local lottery winner. Somebody
won a fortune in the lottery, and I spent I realized,
this is a little bit deceitful, but I had a
lot of fun with it. I pretended I was the
one that won the lottery, and that I was. I
(07:55):
think it was like forty one million dollars. Was the
was the jackpot, and I spent the forty one million
dollars before I got off the air three hours later,
and I kept listing things that I was going to
buy with my lottery winnings until I had spent all
the money. And it was the most fun, I think,
one of the most fun things I've ever done. I
had a lot of fun spending money I didn't have
(08:16):
on things I didn't really buy. So it's always fun
to imagine what you would do if it was you,
and maybe we could all be in that position right now.
Bill Gates, he says he's going to give away his

the next twenty years. But he says what he wants
to do, but what he doesn't want to do I
guess more properately, he doesn't want to die rich. He
wants to I mean, he doesn't want to die poor,
but he doesn't want to die rich. He wants to
see where the money goes. He wants to know the
money is helping people. Now you can argue about whether
or not Bill Gates causes are the kind of things
(08:57):
that you would like to see helped, but they've already
given away, like one hundred and eight billion dollars or
one hundred billion dollars. I guess he has another one
hundred eight billion dollars that he currently is still worth.
So with all that and is, he's got more money
than he could ever hope to figure out how to spend.
(09:19):
And he wants for nothing. So sure he can give
it away, nothing to worry about. Maybe you would give
it away too before you died. Here's my question. I'm
going to give you. I'm going to give all of
us a theoretical one hundred billion dollars. You have one
hundred billion dollars, it's yours. What are you going to
do with it? Go to the iHeartRadio ap KTRH. Please
(09:42):
make us number one hundred preset. I'll get you there
a lot quicker. I hit the talkback button. You've got

Buy that little lot a crust from NRG, and I'm
gonna build an exact replica of Astra World, exactly like
it was.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
All right, how much would that cost? Oh my gosh,
a hundred million? No, no, no, a couple of million.
No more than a couple million, you think really? Yep?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
See I you're going to sports tea. You've got to
figure this out. Skind Mike, You've got to figure how
much would that cost to do? Subtract that from your
one hundred billion dollars. Move on to your next project.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So I don't have.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Enough money to buy the Grand Parkway?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You probably don't, all right.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I'll buy the Grand Parkway and the golf ball terry.
Let's go over here by two ninety checkout Rose Hill.
I love this little area one of the you know,

Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yeah, we have a three day weekend. Every weekend. We
just started off with a little work. Well, it's not
looking too bad. We've had a little bit of rain
overnight that is on its way out. That area of
low pressure is moving eastward. I'll call it a twenty
percent chance of a shower thunderstorm for today. The big
change for us is the cooler temperatures that we have,
(11:48):
not just today, but really through the weekend. Upper seventies
to low eighties. A very comfortable day. Tonight, dry temperatures
in the sixties. Tomorrow, we do have a thirty percent
chance of some showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon.
Still comfortable upper seventies to low eighty. Sunday is even cooler,
(12:08):
sunny and dry, mid upper seventies on Mother's Day. But
after that Mother Nature starts to crank up the heat.

All the info you need.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
To take on the day, five twenty is our time
here in Houston's Morning News. So everybody thinks this is
a pretty big deal, right that we have an American
pope and first time in history. So yeah, it's kind
of a big deal that there's an American pope, Pope
Leo the fourteenth. He's from Chicago. What kind of pope
will he be? I've heard all kinds of crazy rumors
(13:00):
a here he's a Republican. Well, first of all, he's
from Chicago, so that takes down the chances of him
being a Republican rather significantly.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Number two is we're hearing that he is he's much
in the mold of Pope Francis, his predecessor, so that
certainly would not make him a Republican. So I think
we a lot of these things that we're seeing, you
kind of have to take it with a grain of salt.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Here.

What use Radio seven k t r H.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I read something kind of interesting about the papal conclave.
You know, there's so much history behind it. It goes back.
Of course they've been picking popes. You know, they've done
too how many now, two hundred and sixty seven popes
or something that that there's certain foods that are not
allowed to eat when they're in the conclave. When they're
when they're you know, locked into the chapel, they bring
(15:56):
them food. They allowed them to sleep, but uh, they're
sutent foods, like, for example, they can't have a whole
roasted chicken. They also can't have pasta where you could
hide a note or a message. It's tradition. I guess
it happened back way back in the day that you know,
all kinds of crazy things would happen during the conclave.
They even had food testers to make sure that somebody
(16:19):
wasn't trying to poison the people voting for the pope,
you know, the cardinals. Here is Raymond de Royo talking
about Pope Leo the fourteenth. Who is this guy, what
does he stand for? What kind of a pope will
he likely be?
Speaker 15 (16:33):
We can't say that the man that he was will
necessarily be the pope that he'll be tomorrow. But here
the general outlines. You know, he's from Chicago. He's known
as more of a progressive in the church. If you
liked Pope Francis, you're gonna love Leo the fourteenth. That
would be my bumper sticker on this. Okay, he's very
much in the same model. Even in his speech there
(16:55):
at the Loggia today he said, we have to be
a sonodyl church to go out and counter and dialogue
with each other in the world, that we have to
walk with one another. That is classic Pope Francis lingo.
And I'll tell you what it means, because who knows
what sonadel means.
Speaker 13 (17:09):
They don't even know. The bishops don't even know. What
it basically means.
Speaker 15 (17:12):
Is to democratize and open up the decision making in
the church, even the practice and the doctrine.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Of the faith.
Speaker 15 (17:20):
Pope Francis believed not just bringing cardinals together to help
him shape the teaching or perfect it for the time,
but inviting everybody in, including atheists and non believers and
young people.
Speaker 13 (17:32):
And you know, a selected hand.
Speaker 15 (17:34):
Group of priests he liked, and a few other cardinals,
but not the entire college of cardinals, and part of
the result of this particular Pope will Is because Pope
Francis chose one hundred and eight of the one hundred
and thirty three electors, so you.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
Imagined it might tend this way, even.
Speaker 15 (17:50):
Though you thought, well, they're from such far flung parts
of the world, they may not be ideologically cohered. But
it turns out they may have been one of the
major that I've spoken to a couple of cardinal since
the election. Money was a big issue. Will the Church
is basically broke. The Wall Street Journal did a piece
the other day or two billion dollars in deficits four
(18:11):
hundred million dollars in pension debts that they can't pay all.
So a lot of these African cardinals and Asian cardinals
and those from other parts of the world thought, get.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
An American in here.
Speaker 15 (18:24):
They can help clean up and get the books in
order make the trains run on time.
Speaker 13 (18:28):
This guy's been working here for three years in the Vatican.
Speaker 15 (18:31):
He's head of the bishop's Dicastro Robert Privos now Leo,
so he knows a bit of the machinations here, but
he's a little bit of an outsider. So they thought
maybe he can help reform the place and at least
bring it to financial solvency.
Speaker 13 (18:46):
That's a piece of it.
Speaker 15 (18:47):
But there's a much bigger challenge for this Pope will
and that is to clarify Christian and Catholic doctrine, to
make it clear.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I never would have thought that maybe there's a business
component to this, right. The Catholic Church basically broke and
they need to balance the lecture of the books. They
have a pension problem. Even the Catholic Church has real
world problems as it relates to the business world, but
they have all these pensions they're paying out five twenty six.

Jessicav On with the Center for Immigration Study says that
is not a good idea.
Speaker 12 (21:52):
No, it's not the answer legal immigration and illegal immigration,
right now are almost like two sides.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Of the same coin, a costly coin for the US.

Our country simply cannot absorb that many newcomers in such

On Capitol Hill this week, lawmakers shared their concerns with
the head of Homeland Security. South Texas Congressman Henry Quaar says,
we need an upgrade in border cameras, which are mostly broken, inoperable,
and running on obsolete technology.
Speaker 11 (22:36):
This old technology is like going to a car and
you fix it, and they keep coming in to fix
it up.

President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill includes billions for new border
wall and other improvements. That Trump administration asking the Supreme
Court to allow the President to end the Biden era
amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
A district court ruling keeping in place Harran parole for
half a million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela
is now being appealed to the US Supreme Court. The
Trump administration says the Lower Court nullified one of the
administration's most consequential immigration policy decisions. Attorneys for the immigrants
say the administration has an incorrect reading of the law
(23:19):
and puts vulnerable people in the country legally at risk
of losing everything. A Biden administration policy granted the temporary
protected status the hundreds of thousands of migrants, usually with
a two year work authorization. At the White House, Jared

Several air incidents in recent months were linked to air
traffic control staffing or equipment problems. The Food and Drug
Administration is restructuring under the Trump administration, laying off over
three thousand workers. Commissioner of Food and Drug Marty mac

These are two hundred and eleven. The nays are two

to reconsider is late on the table.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green had introduced the bill,
mirroring the president's recent executive order. The City of Euston's
financial directors says that the city could face a deficit
of around five hundred million dollars over the next few years.
Mayor John Whitmyer can work to fix this, but city
council can wind up standing in his way as well.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I think the counselors are going to do that for
their own political game. But I also think there's certain
people that are trying to hurt Whitmyer.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
They're going to.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Vote opposite Whitmyer just to sort of give him something.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
That's former city Councilman Greg Travis. He says it's all
a result of former Mayor Sylvester Turner wasting COVID funds
and putting off important maintenance projects until now. Businesses are

If you live in China Grove and you are a
Chinese nationalist citizen of China, actual citizen of Communist China,
you will no longer be able to buy a home
or run a home. The Texas legislature GOP sponsored bill
has passed a bill by a measure of eighty five
(27:28):
to sixty that would prevent hostile nations citizens of hostile
nations to the United States from purchasing or renting homes
and property here in Texas. Again, eighty five to sixty
was the vote. That would include North Korea, it would
include China, it would include Iran. You know, those are
(27:53):
the three most notable ones that it would include. The
opponent's claim that it is is racist. Of course, it's
Asian discrimination. The bill will not go on to governor
for his signature. But here's what Alice Ye of Asian
(28:14):
Texans for Justice said, quote, this is a totally racist
bill sugar coated by Homeland Security. She called it a
partisan issue against the Asian community. Gene Wu got into debate.
He's state representative, Democrat, got into a debate with a
sponsor of the bill, state Representative Cole Hefner, saying that,
(28:37):
you know, he accused the state rep of sponsoring bill
that was racist, and the response from state representation Cole
Hefner was the bill does not apply to legal permanent residents.
So if you are from China or North Korea or
Iran and your legal permanent resident, in other words, you've
been fully vetted. You can purchase a home, you can
(28:59):
run a home like anybody else can. But if you
are a citizen of those nations hostile to the United States.
You'd all longer can where's the discrimination? How many countries
in the world allow people from just anywhere to come
in and buy property and live on that property. We're
one of the few countries they give you any sort
(29:19):
of opportunity to do that. So again it goes on
to the governor's signature, and it will be on Texas

of a shower thunderstorm today, that's it. It is cooler,

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

eighties and we could be talking about some ninety degree
readings starting Tuesday.

the United Kingdom. There is love between our two countries.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik on how they got the deal together.
Speaker 22 (31:30):
It does a little bit. Well, remember we had balance
trade with the UK.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
If when we do our deal with the European Union,
that is top top topic because.
Speaker 22 (31:39):
Remember the European Union's got a two hundred and fifty
billion dollar trade deficit with China and they have a
two hundred and thirty five billion trade surplus with US.
So the Chinese just go through Europe to come at us, right,
they come at us through Vietnam. You wouldn't think they
come at us through Europe, but they do. But the
Britain is really opening market five billion dollars of new
(32:03):
opportunity for Americans to export to Britain where we already
had a balanced trade. And what we did is we
helped him out. As you pointed out, we said, you
know what, you can keep your auto industry. You can
only go down to ten percent, you can keep it.
It's only one hundred thousand cars we import, and you
know we sell sixteen million cars a year, so one
(32:23):
hundred thousand's okay.
Speaker 23 (32:25):
Are you handling the freight on the European Union?
Speaker 22 (32:28):
I am, In fact, I do virtually all the countries.

Together with USTR, right, Ambassador.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Greer, but I'm the driver of it.
Speaker 22 (32:44):
That's why we got this deal done because we were
able to move on cars, we were able to move
on airplane parts, right, commercial airplane parts. We made a
deal and said, you know what, Rolls Royce engines can
come into America and tire free and get put on
Boeing jets.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
That's perfectly fine. And what did they turn around and do?
They turned around and announced.
Speaker 22 (33:03):
They We're going to buy ten billion dollars worth of
Boeing jets on top of that. So this is the
kind of right, kind of deal you want to do
with a country, a friends, someone who's.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Willing to open their markets.
Speaker 13 (33:13):
We help them.
Speaker 22 (33:14):
We're gonna sell them beef and they're going to buy
less beef from other countries. So I think that's the
way they balanced it.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
It's great for us.
Speaker 22 (33:22):

billion dollars of new tariff revenue into the United States
of America to that external revenue service.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Okay, Supposedly the automakers are not super happy forward in
general motors that there's no tariffs on the British imports,
because they're the bit they're saying, and they've got a
point that there are vehicles that they produce through the
NAFTA deal in Mexico, for example, that are more fifty
(33:55):
percent or more American parts that are subject to tariffs. Well,
the British ones that have no American parts are no
longer subject to tariffs. Five point fifty one time for

From the View fifty three at a time you're in Houston?
Is boring?
Speaker 12 (36:00):
Is?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Do you know that.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Doctor Jill and Joe were on the View for the
entire hour? Oh yeah, I mean he's trying big time
to rebuild his legacy and to deny that he has
any mental capability problems whatsoever. Here's Greg Guttfeld having some
fun with this.
Speaker 23 (36:19):
You know who just stunk up the view that Biden
joined the View this morning for the entire hour.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
The audience was caught off guard.
Speaker 23 (36:27):
But knew something was up when they saw a dozen
Secret Service agents and two embalmbers. There were a few
awkward moments, though, when it confused, Joe asked if.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
He could bid on the showcase. But was he surprised?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Kamala lost.
Speaker 11 (36:45):
I was a surprise because they went the root of
the sexishirt all the whole roote.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I mean, that's just a woman. She's this.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
Really, I've never seen quite as successful and consistent campaign,
undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country
and a woman of mixed race.
Speaker 24 (37:08):
Yeah, that's exactly what happened, you, lying sacket. It was
it was mixed drinks, not mixed races.
Speaker 23 (37:25):
True, though Joe may be demented, but I guess being
a conniving race baiting loon.
Speaker 13 (37:29):
Is the last thing to go.
Speaker 23 (37:31):
Biden also trash Trump, asking why he's going after people's healthcare?
Speaker 11 (37:36):
Why is he going after people's health care and social security?
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Why is he doing that? What possible reason is.
Speaker 23 (37:42):
That Joe's obviously confused, But it was worse during the break,
you know, when he kept calling whoopee regis.
Speaker 24 (37:54):
The Biden's also addressed his cognitive abilities.
Speaker 25 (37:57):
Since you left office, there have been a number of
books that have come out deeply sourced from democratic sources,
that claim in your final year there was a dramatic
decline in your cognitive abilities. What is your response to
these allegations.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Are these sources wrong? You are wrong.
Speaker 11 (38:14):
There's nothing to sustain that.
Speaker 26 (38:16):
The people who wrote those books were not in the
White House with us, and they didn't see how hard
Joe worked every single day. I mean he'd get up,
he put in a full day, and then at night
he would I'd be in bed, you know, reading my book,
and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings,
(38:38):
working with staff.
Speaker 13 (38:40):
I mean it was non stop, right, Jill.
Speaker 24 (38:46):
And you're an actual doctor, now, no one you've got
her degree off a box of frosted flakes.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Complete denial. It's a it's a feeble attempt. Feeble keyword here,
feeble attempt to rewrite history. This is the I'm going
to go around and show everybody that these books about
me are wrong. And I was a great president and
if I had, if I'd stuck in there, I would
have won. And the only reason why he didn't vote
for your Kamala is because you're all you' all are sexist.
(39:18):
Good luck with that five point fifty seven now here
in Houston's borning news
