the news after we check our drive at this early hour.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Here Scott off to a bad start downtown. I've got
to turn your snooze off for starters. We've got already
an accident. We've got wet freeways, we've got low information
drivers touching their brakes for no reason, and that's probably
what caused this wreck on it in downtown westbound at
forty five and involves a truck.

Speaker 6 (00:54):
I that's one, two, three lanth block here.

Speaker 5 (00:57):
This is westbound coming over from Saint Arnold, the outbound
Katie and we're getting by it. But let's jump on
the east text go around at forty five and enjoy
the pretty view of downtown. I'm Skywike and the Generator
Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
All right, and we've got Cloudy's guys with occasional rain
showers today.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
Hi, about eighty four. I'll drop down to about seventy two.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Overnight sunshine comes back starting tomorrow and.

Speaker 6 (01:20):
Through the weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Mili Terry Smith give you the details coming up at
five ten seventy six degrees in Cloudy's guys right now
at your official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty
kt RH and now the Friday Morning News.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Good morning, Shaff.

Speaker 7 (01:32):
And good morning to you, Bob. Good morning everybody. It's
now five oh one on News radio seven forty kt
al h our top story this hour.

Speaker 8 (01:41):
This is the party that often talks about privilege, but
this may be the single most privileged individual you could find.

Speaker 7 (01:49):
He's talking about Hunter Biden. Legal analyst Jonathan Turley there
on Fox. Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to all nine
counts in his federal one point one million dollar tax
evasion case.

Speaker 8 (02:03):
This plea prevents that kind of show.

Speaker 7 (02:06):
Trial, oh a show trial. Biden attorney Abbey Lowll. Hunter
Biden faces up to seventeen years in prison. He's going
to be sentenced on December sixteenth. Of course, plenty of
time for a president to pardon him before the January inauguration.
If Donald Trump does win that election, there would certainly
be pressure on Joe Biden to pardon Hunter before he

(02:28):
leaves office. Meantime, the Big Guy finally admitted the American
Rescue Plan is really something else.

Speaker 9 (02:35):
The most significant climate change law ever. And by the way,
it is a three hundred and sixty nine billion dollar bill.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
It's called it.

Speaker 9 (02:44):
We should have named it what it.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Was, Yeah, what it was? Bail out to buddies in
green energy. The President in Wisconsin yesterday, Donald Trump spells
out though how he will rescue the American economy the
big bankers and economists in New York that he can
do it inside twelve months.

Speaker 10 (03:05):
We'll create America's own sovereign wealth fund to invest in
great national endeavors for the benefit of all of the
American people.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
He's going to save the American dollar, he said. He's
gave a step by step plan how he'll do it,
and also promise more tax cuts on top of what
he's already given for Americans and American businesses, also announcing
that Elon Musk would be leading a government efficiency commission
to cut out the bloat. Kamala Harris claims though she'll

(03:36):
bring down prices, but she can't say how.

Speaker 11 (03:40):
Harris blames corporate greed for high prices, but it's actually
the government's fault.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's the overall effect of the Biden administration Bidenomics plan,
and then they want to blame the corporations because prices
go up.

Speaker 11 (03:51):
Rick Manning with Americans for Limited Government says Harris's plan
will actually make prices rise thanks to government Handoutsmix.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
One on one says, if there's demand is higher than
the supply, prices go up by giving incentives to buy.
If you're doing that, you're increasing demand.

Speaker 11 (04:06):
Manning says the best way to lower costs is to
cut spending and red tape. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
The Regimes August Jobs report comes out at seven thirty
This morning is now five oh four. The early ballots
actually began going out today in North Carolina. It means
the election is underway. Will most Americans be voting before
Election Day November fifth?

Speaker 12 (04:30):
I don't know that most of them will. Task about
I still think we're going to see a significant amount
of people who vote on election Day. Now, as far
as making up their minds, I think that most will
make up their minds, but it's going to come down
to people deciding whether they're going to vote.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
ROBERTA. Holly with a Trafalgar Ruby says, it's about the
battleground states. Really, the Trump here is debate. By the way,
next Tuesday, we'll be carrying it live seven pm here
on KTRH dot com and the iHeartRadio app. Left is
still feeding the sugar high of Kamala Harris. Well, when
comes the crash.

Speaker 13 (05:06):
And by soon we mean next week that that's going
to come out into debate where she'll finally be confronted
by President Trump.

Speaker 14 (05:12):
Jared Woodfille with the Conservative Republicans of Texas's that's when
Harris really gets exposed.

Speaker 13 (05:17):
We know that her positions aren't popular with the American
people and that once she's fully exposed, that her poll
numbers are going to continue to go down. They're going
to die.

Speaker 14 (05:25):
And remember she didn't get much of a bump from
the convention last month. Cliff Saunders News Radio seven to
forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
New polling from McLaughlin now showing Trump leading Harris by
two points nationally forty nine to forty seven percent. Got
some fireworks in Austin, where state lawmakers are calling out
the Public Utility Commission for possible fraud. The case involves
a power company forging paperwork to the Commission to try
to get a taxpayer backed loan to build a new

(05:52):
power plant.

Speaker 15 (05:54):
You not only embarrassed the state of Texas, but she
put taxpayer dollars at risk. That's the bottom line here.
It's preposterously bad. It's wronged on so many levels. It's
it's just disgusting.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
Senator Paul betten Gordy wants the state to sue over this.
Senators also were discussing Harris County's second attempt at establishing
a program to give out cash ingum to selected people
in the county just a few couple dozen. It's now
five oh six. Court documents revealed this week's murder of
Harris County precinct for Corporal Mayer Hosseini was deliberate.

Speaker 16 (06:29):
The entire incident was captured on video. There was an
eyewitness in Corporal Maher Husseini and a Tier Murati had
a conversation in a parking lot right before the shooting.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
Robert Arnold with our TV partner Channel two. We also
know that he was shot thirteen times. A deer Muradi
has been charged with murder in the case. Husseini's funeral
was yesterday. Bondsman said at seven point one million dollars
of the man charged with the murder of ninety year
old Navy veteran Nelson Beckett last weekend. Prosecutors say that

(07:03):
colliglial I can't say his name. Kyle Arsonot confessed that
he thought Nelson would be easy prey. Beckett's funeral would
be Monday at Southwest Central Church of Christ in the
morning ten am. The father of the fourteen year old
accused of killing four people in a Georgia high school
was arrested himself and charged with four counts of manslaughter.

Speaker 17 (07:26):
These charges stem from knowingly allowing his son to possess
a weapon.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
Yeah, it was a gift apparently a weapon to that
team for Christmas, and after the FBI had already questioned
him and his father about making online threats against Appalachi
High School last year. Five oh seven is our time, Houston,
Texas kicking off the twenty twenty four season on Sunday
against the Colts at Indianapolis, and the Astras lose to

(07:56):
the Reds one to nothing. They host Arizona tonight. Pregame
at six on Sports Talk seven ninety, the game at
seven on seven ninety and on KTRH. I'm Sure for
Fryar on News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
More with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar. This is Houston's
Morning News.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
All right, eight minutes after five o'clock. Good morning, once again,
Happy to be with you on this Friday. Pop France
in for Jimmy. So following up on the Georgia shooting
that Chared has told you about in the news, the
father of that suspect has been arrested and charged with
a boatload including four murders, four counts of involuntary manslaughter
to be precise, two counts to second degree murder, eight

(08:37):
counts of cruelty to children.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
And indeed it's because this guy.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
According to the charges, didn't just have conversations with the
FBI that investigated threats against the school last year that
were traced to his son. They decided at that time
there was nothing they could do about it. They couldn't
charge the sun with anything at that point in time,
but they warned the school and the parents to be

(09:02):
on alert. And after that, according to the charges, the
father bought them a gun. It seemed comprehensible, quite frankly,
but this is the first case where parents may be
held accountable for, you know, the horrific actions of their kids,
since the case in Michigan when the Crumbles both were
tried and convicted for what their kid did in that

(09:26):
terrible school shooting in Michigan. So parents on alert now,
or parents are supposed to be on alert, which of
course they should be, especially when there is an actual
documented investigation that was opened by the FBI into your son.
It makes no sense whatsoever the fourteen year old attacker
was stopped to buy the school resource officer, who was

(09:49):
able to confront him, excuse me, and to end that
situation in relatively short order. It could have been much
longer if they would have had to wait for the
police to arrive outside, which is something that Senator jd
Vance vice presidential candidate jd Vance said in it at
a rally in Arizona. The Associated Press completely took his

(10:10):
words out of context and drew some massive backlash online
yesterday when they said that JD. Vance simply called school
shootings a fact of life. He did say that it
was a fact of life. He also said a lot
more about it, and the AP was forced to retract
their headline, reprint their tweet, or res send or repost

(10:31):
their tweet as well, acknowledging that what they had said
was out of context. So it's unbelievable how these issues
continue to be spun in favor of left wing candidates,
left wing politicians, and so on and so forth, even
when we're talking about something as horrific as school shootings.
We'll have more on that, I promise coming up in
just a bit. Right now, it's five ten, So let's

(10:53):
get moving and see what's happening on that drive.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Skuy, Mike, let's go downtown, Bob Prince, we've got this
deal on. Let's say it westbound. That's an accident. A
truck's involved. Here, I see the multiple laneage. It does
look to me like everybody's okay. That's the good news.
It's westbound right around that curve to forty five and
other stations. Listeners they get in that merge and it's
so scary and they just hit their brakes for no

(11:16):
reason and that's probably what caused us. So we have
multiple back I know this was say that we're backed
up almost from Saint Arnold going that way. Now what
you do is jump on the East Tex elevated instead.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
That's a lot easier, and I go around to the Pierce.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
You hit that little suicide squeeze ramp that takes you
on the Pier elevated forty five, and I go around
that northbound. Or since your hazardous terry, you could just
get on the Loop. You're extra hazardous with this weather.
By the way, south Loop six ' ten at Cohen
that's the roadwork right now.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
We're getting through that.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
I could assure you south side, Larry, and it's awesome
accent to tell me what's going on right there in
that little construction in the dark spot and the rest
of our freeways they're wet. Got to knock your snooze
off and you out there tell me what the low
information and drivers are doing this morning.

this rain anytime soon.

Speaker 18 (12:24):
We will gradually get rid of the rain. In fact,
it's a little quieter this morning than it's been the
last couple of mornings.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
The book. The wet weathers made its way off toward
the east. But that doesn't mean we're rain free. Not today.

Speaker 18 (12:35):
Today, still cloudy, fifty percent chants of showers and some
thunderstorms over the course of the day, and our temperatures
still suppressed by all the clouds in rain, mid to
upper eighties. But the sun shines back and there is
no rain. Saturday and Sunday. Now temperatures are still in
the mid to upper eighties, and then we slowly start

(12:56):
to get those showers to return. The onshore winds pick
back up Monday and Tuesday. We're so Tuesday we got
a sixty percent chance of thunderstorms by them.

Speaker 6 (13:06):

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Well you're enjoying your summer.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
We're keeping you up to date at the top thirty
past and when it.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Breaks, where I did my information fun.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
News Radio seven KTRH so I want to share a
little bit about this, this Jdvan story, because it's one
of the biggest stories in the country now, not the
Vance part of it, but the shooting in Georgia because
parents have been charged. A father has been charged in
this case, and a lot of experts are now opining
as to whether or not this will be much more

(15:41):
common where parents are held accountable for the criminal actions,
particularly murderous actions, of their teenage kids.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
So this is what happened in Georgia. And JD.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Vance was doing a rally in Phoenix and he said
yesterday that schools shootings have become a fact of life.
He said so in the context of calling for better security,
the direct quote, if these psychos are going to go
after our kids, we've got to be prepared for it.
We don't have to like the reality that we live in,

(16:15):
but it is the reality we live in and we've
got to deal with it. I don't like that this
is a fact of life, but if you are a
psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that
our schools are soft targets and we have got to
bolster security at our schools. We have got to bolster
security so if a psycho wants to walk through the
front door and kill a bunch of children, they're not able.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
End quote.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well, that's pretty pretty standard and straightforward. The AP didn't
like that, though, So the AP just cut it to
Dvance call shootings a fact of life, as if to say,
he's like, eh, it's it's just the fact of life. Now,
all of the rest of that stuff about how we
have to try to stop it, about how we have
to harden the targets, how we have to protect the

(16:59):
kids at schools and so forth, none of that made
the headline. The Associated Press had to replace that on Twitter.
They deleted their previous tweet and then tweeted yesterday evening
around nine to five pm, I guess that's Eastern. The
AP tweeted this post replaces an earlier post that was
deleted to add context to the partial quote from Vance.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
Yeah, you know, they kind of kept it. Sure that
could have just says he faces reality, you know, and
maybe Vance is going to start using the word it's
reality rather than it's a fact of life, you know.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
But at any rate, Yeah, it's the words that came
after that, which were the important words here.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
And so they when they are disgusting.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
They are they are.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Well and you know here's the statement from Vance's spokesperson,
William Martin quote. This is yet another case of the
fake news media brazenly lying about a Republican politician. Senator
Vance said the opposite of what the Associated Press claimed.
It should come as no surprise that the AP lost
any and all credibility it had years ago, because they
will lie about literally anything in order to prop up

(18:04):
the Democrats. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has called for all police
officers to be removed from.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
Schools, putting children all over America at risk.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's yet another example of how Kamala Harris is weak,
failed and dangerously liberal agenda makes her unfit for office.
End quote. But yet you know the AP comes for
Vance instead. They finally changed it. Here's what they fixed
their tweet to or replace their tweet with quote.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
JD.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Van says he laments that school shootings are a fact
of life and says the US needs to harden security
to prevent more carnage like the shooting this week that
left for dead in Georgia.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
Why didn't they start with that right? Why are we
here cher?

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Why are we talking about you know this story, we
could have reported it in the news, you know Saturday. J. D.
Vance said this about that terrible event at a rally
in feedings yesterday, and move right on. We have to
talk about you know, what they did, what the AP
tried to do to try to make it look as
though he was just saying. You know, one of the
tweets that I saw yesterday two share was liked by

(19:04):
a ton of of left wing anti gun advocates. Uh,
and it said when will they meaning Republicans, when will
they love their children more than their guns?

Speaker 7 (19:15):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Brother, right, yeah, And that's that's what Vance is, you know,
talking about here in the and they completely misquote him,
take it out of context in order to make him
look like he's just like, oh, well, it never happens.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
It's a it's a factive life.

Speaker 7 (19:27):
Well, they keep showing us what they're made of. Yeah,
that's the way I look at it.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yeah, I think that's all.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
Keep what you're made of.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
And we're not allowed to say what that is, by
the way, because those are some follow words.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
Well, we can have our own. We can have our
own opinions, can we Yeah?

Speaker 4 (19:43):
I wish I could have the opinion I wish I
could express the opinion I actually have about the left
wing media for what they do.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
When they used to be the challenge, show me what
you're made of? Yes, remember that? Well, okay they are.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
I do, and they are, and they do whatever they
do it continually. That time it's time to do what
we've always been doing, and that time is every single day.
Where did that one come from? Okay, five twenty six?
Now it is really time for a Bloomberg business reports.
See what is happening. We're waiting for a jobs report
this morning that might have an impact, he's Joan Donager.

Speaker 20 (20:13):
Yeah, we sure are, Bob a retreat ahead of the
August jobs report as investors this kind of crucial. Investors
are looking at that job's report to show us what
the economy is doing and how big an interest rate
cut we can expect later this month. So right now,
S and P futures are down thirty three, Nasdaq futures

(20:33):
are falling two hundred thirteen down, futures down one hundred
and twenty six. Now, even with the confirmation of the
decision by OPEC and its partners to delay plans to
raise oil output for two months because of a slump
and demand crude futures are trading again below seventy dollars
a barrel. Right now, they're up thirty six cents to
sixty nine to fifty one, oil heading for its biggest

(20:55):
weekly loss in nearly a year. Too low and offer
too much regulatory risk. That's the reply from the Japanese
company that owns seven to eleven to an offer from
Canada's Kushtard, which owns the Circle K convenience store chain.
But seven and I, the seven eleven owner, says it
is open to considering a proposal in the best interests
of stakeholders. There have been concerned a foreign competitor buying

(21:17):
a Japanese company would be resisted. I'm Joan Donager, Bloomberg

beyond the election, Trump pleaded not get at a hearing yesterday. Yeah,
it is five thirty three. The US Constitution requires an
American to be a natural born citizen to be elected president,

(25:11):
but a candidate from India claims, well, he should nonetheless
be allowed to run.

Speaker 23 (25:17):
The argument could be he can run all the wants,
but ultimately he can't be president. But at the same
time that's still impacting the state.

former Texas governor guess what, joining the staff of the
Rhino House Speaker Dade Feelin, you know, the one who
works all the time with Democrats, Perry becoming a senior advisor.
He campaigned for Feeling in his hotly contested primary. Now
Feelan retains his House seat, but he now has three

(26:52):
challengers for the speakership, including State Rep. David Cook of Mansfield.
So will Phelan ultimately lose his class out. Political consultant
Bill Miller isn't sure about that, but he says, don't
look for Governor Greg Abbott to get involved in this battle.

Speaker 26 (27:08):
Governor can play a stronger hand than he's playing. He
does so with's risk to himself. He has things that
he wants to accomplish in the legislative section. If he
plays a strong role in the Hound he will put
himself at risk. The smart motors hands off.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
Yeah, so hands off it is this week, Lieutenant Governor
Dan Patrick. Though he's not hands off. He's heading the Senate.
He called Feeling a rhino rad or Republican in name only,

taxes in Texas. Can you believe it? But it's easier
said than done.

Speaker 27 (27:43):
State budget officials say Texas would have to spend about
eighty one point five billion dollars a year.

Speaker 28 (27:49):
Property taxes are fundamentally immoral, and I believe that they
should be eliminated at the end of the day. But
of course, with any sort of policy change, nothing is.

Speaker 27 (27:57):
Free economists Fans again says a large chunk of the
cost is property taxes collected by school districts.

Speaker 28 (28:03):
It's about thirty three billion dollars of the eighty one billion.
That's really where the focus is of the state elimiting
the school portion first.

Speaker 27 (28:11):
The state would also have to cover forty two billion
dollars in property taxes collected by cities, counties, and special
taxing districts. Char Lewis News Radio seven forty KHRH.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
So sheriff just had a story in which Tim Walls
had some things to say at a rally or an
event campaign event about JD Vance and about his story.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
Where's Tim Walls been? Though?

Speaker 4 (30:19):
When it comes to the interviews, they are putting him
in just as tight of a hold in the basement
as they have Kamala Harrison since the media friendly, and
he always was. In fact, he was kind of a
media whore, was Tim Walls's governor of Minnesota. But since
he has been tabbed as the running mate for Kamala Harris,
he won't do TV interviews anymore.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
He won't do any interviews anymore.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
The only thing he's done since he was named was
the same thing that Kamala did with Jana Bash on
CNN last Thursday. A big story on this in Breitbart.
From July twenty two to August six, about two weeks
before he was added to the ticket, he appeared, did
Tim Walls on MSNBC PBS, CNN, and Fox News a

(31:03):
total of ten times, according to NewsBusters, since Harris chose
her as the running mate, he has not appeared on
the networks at all, none zero, won't sit down for interviews,
won't do press conferences. They're going to bury him because
of his well, I should say I suspect because of

(31:23):
his stolen valor, but because of his left wing record,
which rivals just about anybody in government except for the
person at the top of the tickety join context.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
Many contacts with China communists.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
Oh my gosh, contacts. The guy loves China.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
The guy loves communist China, and not just modern day
communist China, the CCP, but the Mao's China from the
Cultural Revolution. The guy is a radical of the first order,
and most Americans don't know it.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
I don't know how many of the nine or ten or whatever,
but a whole bunch I'm wearing Trump T shirts. And
they're saying, do not trust this guy. Our family member
Tim Malls, do not trust him. But he's literally not
being forced to answer any questions, just like Kamala. The
more they hide these two, the better chance there is
for them to be elected, because if you actually let
them go out and speak, everyone will know who they

(32:23):
are and what their radical records reveal. So it's a
pretty amazing thing. He was a media friendly guy and
looked for every camera he could find, and now he
is hiding, just like Kamala. Five forty Now, let's do

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Okay five point fifty one Now again, Bob France in
for Jimmy along with Serah and joined now by Matt Kittle,
senior election correspondent at the Federalists. Should the office of
President be open to foreigners to run It has long
been a policy, and in fact it's a US law.
It's in the constitution. No person except a natural born

(37:21):
citizen may be eligible to be the president of the
United States. But there is one person who wants to
challenge that. Mack, good morning, good to have you. How
are you very well? Thank you for having me, Good
to have you. Tell us about Shiva and I'm going
to guess at it here. Ayaduri, that's it.

Speaker 23 (37:38):
Ayaduri is an interesting independent presidential candidate. Just for a
little background, he has long claim to have invented email
and he was married to friend Dresher for a very
short time, just to give you a little background on

(37:59):
this individual. And he wants to be the president of
the United States. The problem is he was born in India,
came to this country at the age of seven. He
became a naturalized citizen, and he argues that that is
enough to qualify him to be president of the United States.
But that is not what the constitution says. You have

(38:24):
to be a natural born citizen. Yet there are states
that have allowed him to remain on the ballot for November.
How did they do that, That's a very good question.
They do that basically, at least their explanation is. You know,
we don't really investigate qualifications. If they say they've got

(38:45):
the signatures, it looks like they've got the signatures or
whatever else.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
You know, we.

Speaker 23 (38:51):
Trust them.

Speaker 6 (38:53):
This just happened at.

Speaker 23 (38:53):
The Minnesota Supreme Court where they rejected a lawsuit which
clearly was in the right, that said that this guy
should not be on the ballot. And they said, well, sorry,
the Secretary of State. We're going to trust the Secretary
of State on this.

Speaker 7 (39:09):
Well, you don't have to be born naturally right in America?
If your parents are one of them is an American
and representing the country out of the country, doesn't that
still qualify you as a natural born citizen. Is all
so fuzzy here because we've had questions about Obama. We've
got questions about Kamala Harris. When did her parents become citizens?

(39:33):
Were they representing another country when she was born? I mean,
it's so complicated, it is.

Speaker 23 (39:39):
This is not one of those cases. I mean, John
McCain is a perfect example of that. You know, his
dad was a naval officer in the Panama Canal Zone.
That's where John McCain was born. There were some questions
when he ran back in two thousand and eight, but
that was.

Speaker 6 (39:55):
Settled pretty quickly.

Speaker 23 (39:57):
He was a natural you know, he was a citizen
because his father was serving in the US military. This
candidate again was born in India, clearly not on a
military installation appearance. He's he is a first generation American,
you know, and God bless him and his family. They
went through the naturalization process. That's wonderful. They're fully allowed

(40:22):
to vote in elections. But the Constitution says what it says.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yeah, and it's really not ambiguous. I don't think anyway.
I mean, yeah, I think shares right. If you're an
American citizen and you you happen to give birth to
your child while you're on vacation in Jamaica, your child
is in Jamaican, your house still American, uh, if you know,
if you're an American citizen, and likewise, if you're born
here in the United States because of birthright citizenship. So
Minnesota you let him come on, but it looked like

(40:46):
a whole handful of other states according to your article,
you know, rejected the application to to to get on
the ballot.

Speaker 23 (40:53):
Right, that's correct, and you know, one of the things
that has come up, just like the RFK Junior Green Party.
Situation is you have political parties trying to play this
game the scan. There are Democrats in the state of
Minnesota and elsewhere that say, hey, this is having this
guy in the ballot to take some votes away from Trump.

(41:15):
So understand the motivations of parties behind these battles as well.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
That's a fair point too.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
But again, it's really not supposed to be a political battle,
even though we are talking about politics and running for president.
It is a constitutional issue, not a political issue. The
Constitution says what it says. If you are not a
naturalized American or a natural born rather American citizen, you
can be naturalized but not a natural born citizen and
become president of the United States. That's just as clear
as anything is. I guess I'm not surprised by Minnesota though.

(41:46):
Minnesota is becoming one of the most radical states I
think in the country.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
But this is great reporting. I encourage people to read this.

Speaker 4 (41:53):

Speaker 7 (43:55):
Good Morning. It's now six zh two on news Radio
seven forty k TRH and our top story. It was
a shocker when we heard it. Hunter Biden has now
pled guilty to all nine counts in his federal tax
evasion case in Los Angeles.

Speaker 8 (44:10):
Protect those he loves from unnecessary hurt and cruel humiliation.

Speaker 7 (44:18):
And maybe inspection of where all that one point four
million in taxes not paid, how much money was earned
and for what that was? Attorney Abbey Loyle, So what
led to it all? Trump's legal spokesperson Alina Haba says, well,
probably pressure from the Kamala Harris campaign.

Speaker 32 (44:38):
I'm sure there was some element of the campaign being
related in the interest of the Democratic Party and having
all this bad press that he's been constantly giving them.

Speaker 7 (44:47):
Haba was on Fox good possibility considering the plans that
Harris has if she wins, like taxing our unrealized capital gains.
You know, even her supporters seeing that's a bad idea.

Speaker 13 (45:01):
What I told him was that if you tax unrealized gains,
you're going to kill the stock market.

Speaker 7 (45:08):
Yeah you think, Mark Cuban on CNBC Harris wants to
kill not just the stock market, the entirety of the
American dream and our dollar. Trump he has a plan.
He calls it the sovereign wealth Fund.

Speaker 10 (45:24):
Why don't we have a wealth fund? Other countries have
wealth funds. We have nothing.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
We have nothing.

Speaker 7 (45:31):
Trump also announced that Elawn Musk would lead a government
efficiency commission, promises to cut the business tax rate to
fifteen percent and lower personal income taxes. Yet again, Harris
promising to bring down prices if she's elected, but her
policies basically raised prices on housing.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
You have effectively created a much more demand and you
haven't allowed supply to keep up. That's a model which
ortees higher prices, and no government subsidy will change that.

Speaker 12 (46:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (46:04):
Rick Manning, who's president for Americans for Limited Governor Government,
told ktr H Harris really wants to bring down prices,
cut government spending. Well, what about possible interest rate cuts?
We were expecting one this month September based on the
JOUGUS Jobs report will be released government figures seven thirty

(46:26):
six oh four. Is our time the election season? Well,
it's the season now. Is not election day anymore because
the voting actually sort of kicks off today ballots being
mailed out in North Carolina.

Speaker 25 (46:41):
Sure, A voting expert, Robert Kahaley says, this time around
things are a little different.

Speaker 12 (46:47):
I would say early voting now is a little different
because obviously Trump being completely defined and Kamala Harris having
a lot of unanswered questions.

Speaker 25 (46:56):
But with that said, the key is still going to
be the swing states.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Every single battle of our state.

Speaker 12 (47:03):
According to most recent polling that we did, every state
within the margin of error of the seventh state, So
that that gives you some sense of exactly that pite
we're looking right now.

Speaker 6 (47:17):
Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty k t r H.

Speaker 7 (47:21):
Mainstream media keeps telling all of us that Harris is
really just Obama two point zero, But there are those
who think whatever momentum she has, it's about to come
to a crashing halt.

Speaker 33 (47:34):
Your positions are always changing. Two years ago she's against Brackie.
Now she's four fracky, So you see, you know they'll
reform all of those issues she's changed her mind on
at a complete one eighty because she knows that if
her true positions are exposed to the public, she'll be
overwhelmingly defeated, and.

Speaker 7 (47:50):
Her expositions perhaps will finally be exposed at next Tuesday's debate.
It'll be carried live here on ktrhur dot com as
well and iHeartRadio apps starting at seven pm. New numbers
from McLaughlin showing Trump is leading Harris by two points
nationally forty nine to forty seven percent. It is six

(48:11):
oh six. Newly released court documents show that the shooting
of that Precinct four corporal, the Constable's corporal on his
way to work this week, was not road rage as
they originally speculated, and it was not random either.

Speaker 16 (48:27):
Before the shooting, police said, Husseini's cameras captured Murati walking
up to his shuv in the parking lot that has
the same address as Husseini's private security business. Detective's right,
the camera observed Muradi walk up to Husseini and observed
Husseini and Muradi shake hands and have a cordial interaction.

Speaker 7 (48:45):
And then all of a sudden, Robert Arnold of our
TV partner, Channel two, we don't have the motive a
theer Muradi was officially charged with murder yesterday, as Mahir
Housseini was laid to rest. The man charged with murdering
ninety year olds used to Navy veteran Nelson Beckett, confessed
that he targeted the elderly man because he thought he'd

(49:06):
be easy prey. He ran over him with his own
car in the carjacking shot him too, Bond said at
seven point one million dollars for him. Beckett's funeral will
be on Monday at Southwest Central Church of Christ. The
father of the teenager arrested for shooting and killing four
people in a Georgia high school has now been arrested himself.

Speaker 17 (49:30):
Four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second degree murder,
and eight counts of cruelty to children.

Speaker 7 (49:38):
Police say Colin Gray gave his son the gun that
was used on Wednesday as a gift a Christmas gift,
six months even after the FBI had already questioned the
family for an online threat made by the then thirteen
year old against that same school. Oh six eight is

we will join the game here on KTRH at seven.
I'm Shereber Fryer and News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (50:20):
Power by our There's much to learn.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Keep listening, hey, critical moment.

Speaker 6 (50:24):
You'll keep learning.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
We will learn lessons from this. Use radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
All right, eight minutes after six o'clock. Good morning to you,
Thank you for joining us. So Hunter entered the Alford plea.

Speaker 6 (50:39):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Well, according to the legal experts, it means I get
to say I'm guilty without saying I'm guilty. I'm still innocent,
but I know you have enough evidence to prove that
I'm guilty. So therefore I'm entering the Alford plea of guilty. Uh,
it has not yet been accepted, this plea from the judge,
Federal Judge Mark Scarcy. Apparently the judge can't accept that

(51:02):
plea if he decides to sign off on it without
any input from the prosecution, which is interesting. The tax charges,
three felonies, six misdemeanors carry a maximum of seventeen years
in prison. Federal prosecutors were very confused by the plea
offer and urged the judge to reject it, saying the
government did not agree to that arrangement. Hunter Biden is

(51:25):
not innocent. Hunter Biden is guilty, said the prosecutor, Leo Wise.
Special counsel David Weiss's prosecuting Hunter on those nine federal
tax charges based on his failure to pay more than
one point four million dollars of taxes in a timely
manner over a four year period. Along with tax evasion,
he was charged with filing false tax returns for attempting
to deduct expenses incurred from his drug fueled escapades.

Speaker 7 (51:50):
Blame it on the drugs, yes, of course, not his fault.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
They're literally doing that. They're saying, why he was an addict,
he was drunk and he was high all the time.

Speaker 7 (52:00):
How do you owe that much one point four million
in back taxes if you didn't make some kind of
income that you didn't report, And why did you not?
How did he make that much money to owe that
much in taxes? Well, yeah, we know, but I mean
really yeah, And what equal justice under the law, right
can can compare contrast what's going on against Trump?

Speaker 4 (52:22):
And you know as well as I do too, that
even though Jonathan Turley is among the legal minds that
have said he has screwed this up big time, he
and his representation because he's going to end up being
sent to prison for this, even with the offered plea.
And we all know that that's not going to happen, though.
You don't think Joe Biden's going to pardon him on
his way out of office. I mean with some bs
excuse about you know, the horrors of addiction and so

(52:45):
on and so forth, and learn lessons and you know,
rebounding and rehabilitation and all of the rest. Watch and
see what happens there. But Hunter, Hunter dropped the alferd
plea in there yesterday. I didn't do it. I swear
I didn't do it, but I know you have proof
that I did it, so I'll say it. That's a problem. Okay,
sixth time. Now let's do traffic an weather together. Here
is mister Samick.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
It's stress seating here, Bob.

Speaker 5 (53:06):
All right, let's go to the North Loop sixty ten

Price controls. What do those mean?

Speaker 4 (56:25):
To a lot of people who are paying attention, It
means communism. Yeah, government controlled pricing is a very dangerous
stepic but yet that's what Kamala Harris has put forth
as a platform to get inflation down. We're going to
talk about it with Rick Manning, President of Americans for
Limited Government, right after we check traffic and whether now
at six twenty.

Speaker 6 (56:42):
Here' skoy, Michael, let's.

In the know all the information in real time and
again the now right.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
Now News Radio seven KTRH Okay six two. So the
Harris campaign has been going out of their way to
try to brand her as being pro business. All of
their surrogates are out there saying she's pro business. Yeah,
yet comma is so laughable.

Speaker 6 (58:40):
Yeah, it is, it is.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
It is indeed that, especially when she spends all of
her time blaming businesses for inflation, saying they're price gouging.
They are making record profits and we need to cut
into that by putting price fixing or price controls in place.
But that's been tried in the past. It is rather
devastating to economies. Rick Manning knows that he's a president
of Americans for Limited Government. With the response to all

(59:03):
of this, Rick, and morning.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Good morning, how are you.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
We're doing well, thank you.

Speaker 4 (59:08):
She wants to raise taxes, she wants to raise corporate taxes,
she wants to raise capital gains taxes, even a wealth
tax on unrealized capital gains. Yet she supposedly pro business.
What happens if she tries to if she gets elected
and tries to put in price controls on what businesses
can charge.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Well, what happened when Richard Nixon put in price controls
in nineteen seventy three was we had shortages of everything
that was price controlled, and you had grocery shelves that
used to have a lot of meat on them, a
lot of vegetables, and like they were empty. Price controls
basically don't work for a lot of reasons. But when
the government does price controls, they're artificially saying to business

(59:50):
what you can charge for what you're making or what
you're creating, what you're producing, and if that number doesn't
match what the actual cost of producing it are, you
don't get any more produced and so, and government doesn't
get a whole lot right, and they certainly doesn't understand
the economy at all, even either side of the aisle.

(01:00:11):
For all that all that much, but in say you
get right down to it, price controls mean shortages. Price
controls artificially create many, many more problems than they even
ever would hope to solve. So it's a disaster and
shows somebody both doesn't know history and doesn't know economics.

Speaker 7 (01:00:31):
Well, they keep trying to tell us what a dollar
is worth backed by nothing. It just seems pretty logical
to me, you know, the Fed tells us this is
what this is how many dollars it takes to do,
and this is what the interest rate is. I mean, basically,
what a dollar today is worth eighty cents compared to
what it was just a few months ago, and what

(01:00:53):
happens if Kamala Harris gets involved and we start spending
money like crazy, because I really believe in and helping
people in the community.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
I mean really, well, what I have to encourage you
our listeners to click onto YouTube or your favorite video
program and listener explain what equity is and how she
wants to get equity. She says very clearly, we want
equity because we want everybody to get to the same outcome. Now,

(01:01:25):
everybody doesn't start at the same place, so obviously some
people have to have more taken from them than others,
so we should get everybody the same outcome. Everybody the
same outcome. Is the opposite of equality, is the opposite
of opportunity. It is the government dictating where are you're

(01:01:46):
going to end up in life, whether you have earned
it or not, whether or not you have put in
the work or not. And it's the biggest this incentive
to actually work that you have in the entire world
is equal out comes. If you know where you're going
to get to, I try very hard to get there.
And so it is the definition of Marxism as equal outcomes.

(01:02:08):
So she uses words like equity and when you hear.
When you hear that, you have to know what she's saying,
what she means. And when you hear what she means
at her own mouth, not words, solid, easy to understand,
it tells you she believes the government should dictate where
each of us end up in our lives, and it
should be the same place as the person next to us,

(01:02:28):
regardless of skills, talents, efforts and risk that we've taken.
That is a it is a it's astonishing that we're
at the place in this country where somebody will say
that out loud and think they can get votes because
of it and have it be popular, and that's is
opposite of America.

Speaker 4 (01:02:47):
Yeah, and she has repeated those words many, many, many
times through the years. She is a true, die hard
believer in the equitable outcome because she is trusting that
most people don't know it starts with equ so it
sounds like equality, so we all leave in a quality.
It is very, very different when you're talking about equity,
and she's trusting that people don't know that. Rick Manning,
President of Americans for Limited Government, Rick, thank you for

(01:03:08):
the analysis.

Speaker 6 (01:03:09):

Speaker 6 (01:12:37):
Very interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:12:38):
Former President Trump said Thursday that Tesla and SpaceX CEO
Elon Musk would lead a government efficiency commission if he's
re elected to a second term. Trump officially announced the
intent his intent to appoint Musk to run that commission
during his speech at the Economic Club of New York.
Musk pitch the idea of the commission during a conversation
between the two on X a few weeks back, Musk

(01:12:58):
posted at X, I still hate.

Speaker 6 (01:13:01):
That that term.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
He tweeted he would accept the role and not take
a salary for heading up the commission.

Speaker 6 (01:13:08):
Quote.

Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
I look forward to serving America if the opportunity arises.
No pay, no title, no recognition is needed. Wall Street
Journal said the former president has long taken aim at
the Inflation Reduction Act of twenty twenty two, which called
for spending hundreds of billions of dollars to affect a
swath of climate, healthcare, and tax policies. In his speech

(01:13:29):
at the Economic Club, Trump said he would rescind unspent
funds under the law.

Speaker 6 (01:13:34):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
Elon Musk, one of the wealthiest men in the world,
one of the most obviously savvy business and technology driven
individuals in the world, going to lend his expertise to
the Trump administration if that comes to pass, I feel
pretty good about that. Actually, I don't think Elon Musk
is perfect. I still have a problem with neuralink. I
still have a problem with transhumanism and some of the

(01:13:57):
experimentation that's being done there. But I think he has
brought a lot of good to this country just by
buying Twitter, putting his own personal wealth up to buy
Twitter and give us an opportunity to talk about these
things freely rather than being suppressed by the heavy hand
of government. So hopefully he'll be a good part of that. Okay,
six forty can you roller skate?

Speaker 6 (01:14:18):
Can I roller skate?

Speaker 23 (01:14:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:14:19):
I haven't done it since I was like twelve, but
you can. You know how you don't forget how to skate.
I don't think you know.

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
It's like a roller rink in here, Bob. Everybody's going
the same way. What I need to go to is
get on the p and go. All right, they're going
to go the other way now it's westbound. Is the
trick this morning, starting with the North sam going top
from bottom North sam Alding Westfield.

Speaker 6 (01:14:39):
That's not your fault, that's roadwork. It's two left lanes.

Speaker 5 (01:14:41):
Now we're loopying the squeeze on the north loops six
ten at forty five, that wreck is cleared. Yeah, looks
like it's cleared. Backed up from LBJ downtown of course,
we had that truck wreck from the outset this morning
at forty five. This has taken up all but the
right lane. If you're trying to go through, I tend
to get to the KDI side. Let's take a different route.
You're backed up all the way from wayside. Also you

(01:15:03):
can't get on that ramp to the Pier elevated and
then the south Loop. That's your only route now, Terry,
since your hazard is going to do the south Loop too, idiot.
Looks like we're getting through fairly nicely, even the Golf Freeway.
A lot of people kind of getting around this way.
We're backed up from U of H on the northbound.
Got some westbound suckage. Here is Megan from Keema.

Speaker 19 (01:15:23):
Morning mighty southbound.

Speaker 7 (01:15:25):
The emergency respond looks like there was something fifty nine
sixty nine. Jane.

Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
Yeah, I'm hearing something bad about the Southwest Freeway exchange
off the West Sam down after the West Park Tollway.

Speaker 6 (01:15:37):
So look out.

Speaker 5 (01:15:37):
Going this way should have you some lanes shortly two
ninety inbounds from Cyprus.

Speaker 19 (01:15:42):
A lot of low informed drivers because they.

Speaker 9 (01:15:45):
Don't realize that the left lane is for the fast driver.

Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
That's not our regular Grand March people. Now, that's people
from out of town. We'll check that. Check your backups
on two ninety and the KD at six fifty Skymike
on the Classic Elite GMC traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Thank you, sir and Terry Smith at the weather Channel back.
We better enjoy the sunshine when we get it, because
it's going away as fast as it came.

Speaker 6 (01:16:06):
Isn't it, Terry.

Speaker 13 (01:16:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:16:07):
And here's the other thing.

Speaker 18 (01:16:09):
We've had thirteen straight days of summ rain in Southeast Texas,
so we are so ready for the sunshine, and we
got it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:18):
But it doesn't last long.

Speaker 18 (01:16:19):
As you mentioned, fifty percent chance of those showers and
thunderstorms today, so not everybody's getting wet today, but it's
a cloudy day and temperature's mid dumber eighties. Some dryer
air shows up tomorrow and you will notice that lower humidity.
It's a nice change of pace Sunday Tomorrow middumper eighties.

Speaker 7 (01:16:37):
Sunday in the mid to upper eighties.

Speaker 18 (01:16:39):
Monday, it's only a twenty percent chance of rain, but
then a sixty percent chance of those showers and thunderstorms
back Tuesday, and likely more rain after that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:49):
All right, Terry, thank you, and right now, no rain,
cloudy sky. Seventy six at your official severe weather station

Hey, fam Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
It is completely backed up right before ninety.

Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
I'd blame that roadwork. That's both ways. They're picking up
the asphalt. They're taking everybody off the freeway between twenty
one hundred and Bohemian Hall. It's a mess both ways.
I'm in the classic elite GMC traffic center.

Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
All right, thank you very much, good sir. Cloudy and
rainy today. Fifty percent chance HIG of eighty four tonight
seventy two. Overnight sunshine Saturday, Sunday and Monday hies in
the mid to upper eighties. But then the rain comes
back in on Tuesday and probably for the rest of

Twenty twenty four. Headquarters is Youth Radio seventy KTRH.

Speaker 4 (01:19:23):
So we all know what word salads sound like because
Kamala Harris has made them an art form. But yesterday
the left was giddy over the fact that Donald Trump
chopped one of his own.

Speaker 32 (01:19:32):
Can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make childcare affordable?
And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?

Speaker 10 (01:19:42):
Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, you know,
I was somebody we had said at a Manco Rubio
and my daughter.

Speaker 6 (01:19:50):
Ivanka was so impactful on that issue.

Speaker 19 (01:19:53):
It's a very important issue.

Speaker 10 (01:19:55):
But I think when you talk about the kind of
numbers that I'm talking about that because the childcare is,
childcare is, couldn't you know there's something you'd have to have.

Speaker 7 (01:20:06):
It in this country?

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
You have to have it.

Speaker 10 (01:20:08):
But when you talk about those numbers compared to the
kind of numbers that I'm talking about, by taxing foreign
nations at levels that they're not used to, but they'll
get used to it very quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
And as the President, Trump went on at that point
to talk about tariffs and these kinds of things, essentially
deviating far away from the original question, which he said
was childcare is childcare?

Speaker 6 (01:20:27):
Here is what the left did with it.

Speaker 16 (01:20:29):
I would dare any of you to listen to his
answer on childcare and tell me what the hell he.

Speaker 7 (01:20:34):
Was talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
It's Jessica Tarlof on the five on Fox News challenging
her co host to do something there. And what I
want to point out here, Sharah, is it wasn't a
good answer. It was a very poor answer. He was
not ready for that question. That happens from time to time.

Speaker 6 (01:20:50):
And you know when that.

Speaker 4 (01:20:51):
Happens when you're out there taking questions and when you
are asked and willing to give answers about specific policy things.
Donald Trump is out there doing interviews, doing town hall meetings,
taking questions from reporters, taking questions from voters, taking questions
from panelists, like at the economic speech he gave yesterday
at the Club in New York. Donald Trump is out

(01:21:12):
there talking about all of it. Tamala is hiding from it.
And you want to know why because of moments like that.
Donald Trump had one that he stepped in in the
entire thing, and he is and he's getting excoriated for it.
Kamala Harris is too cowardly to answer questions from anybody,
and she's loving her little bounce with her campaign of joy.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
That's what makes this so frustrating.

Speaker 7 (01:21:34):
My take, I listened to the entire thing. I listened
to his speech. It was before The Economist and Wall
Street there in New York. He was in the lions
Den and he was talking about how he would bring
back within twelve months our economy by lifting every American
and having jobs and having paychecks and not having inflation.

(01:21:56):
And then out of left field comes as well, what
will you do about child care? And he was trying
to explain in short order that what I do, what
I do with tariffs, and how he is step by
step going to bring the economy back. You won't have
to worry about the cost of child care.

Speaker 6 (01:22:15):
Yeah, I agree, will be coming down.

Speaker 7 (01:22:17):
Every American will be doing better for it.

Speaker 12 (01:22:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:22:21):
And he wasn't ready for it, There's no doubt, and
it wasn't a good answer, But like I said, he
put himself in a position to be asked questions like that.

Speaker 7 (01:22:28):
Because he has the courage, because he's out there policies.
He had all those big bankers. Let me tell you
that he was not a friendly crowd.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
What I would like him what I would like for
him to do, and he can now, But I would
like for him to look right back at those bankers
and say, by the way, when is the last time
you asked Kamala Harris any question at all about any
economic policy that she is putting forth. You can't because
she won't talk to you, and nobody else will. And
the same thing to Jessica Taralov. Where was Donald Trump
taking questions? As you said from the lions Den. That

(01:22:59):
is what should be the takeaway here, not the fact
that he muddled an answer, which he did because he
didn't have anything specific ready to go about. Here's what
I'll do about childcare costs specifically, as he gave, like
you said, a very strong general economic policy one.

Speaker 7 (01:23:12):
In general, it was step by step. I tell you what.
He put all those people on notice. This is how
he's going to do it, and we didn't give it
enough coverage. We just can't. You're complicated.

What happens next?

Speaker 4 (01:32:54):
Man on Youth Radio seven forty KTRH, All right, minutes
after seven o'clock, thanks for being with us this morning
on Houston's Morning News. So President Trump is out there
given answers Kamala Harris, Tim Walls continue to hide, and
there seems to be no concern about that whatsoever. The
debate is coming though, and the debate on Tuesday Night

(01:33:17):
is going to be it would appear, you know, part
of the story we told yesterday that sources inside of
the inside at ABC have suggested there will be no
accounting whatsoever for microphones being turned off. The debate over
the mikes on Mike's off thing has been going on
for over a month real well really since Kamala Harris

(01:33:38):
you know, budged Joe Biden out of the out of
the race. The agreement with Trump and Biden had been
no microphones on while the other person is speaking, and
they wanted to change that when Kamala Harris got the
job because she wanted to pull I don't know if
anybody saw it, but yesterday on Fox they played it
several times her vice presidential debate with Mike Pence back

(01:33:58):
in twenty twenty, the number of times she would say
something false and Mike Pence tried to get a word
in and she pulled the I'm speaking excuse me, sir,
I'm speaking nonsense. So anyway, the mic kerfuffle yesterday, we
had reports that the moderators were going to be able
to choose to turn the mics on whenever they wanted
to and allow this back and forth to go on,

(01:34:21):
and then they would describe anything that happened when the
mics were off. According to ABC clarifying that yesterday and
the late yesterday, they are not going to be doing that.
It is going to be MIC's on while one person
is speaking and off one that well for each person obviously,
and there are going to be no accountings or no
concessions made for Kamala Harris wishing to be able to

(01:34:42):
have cross talks so she can do the I'm speaking
routine with former President Trump.

Speaker 6 (01:34:47):
So that's why it's going to go down.

Speaker 4 (01:34:49):
On Tuesday, And if it goes down the way it should,
it should be the end of the Kamala Harris campaign.
Because when she has to speak off the cuff and
she has to say things that she doesn't remember or
things she doesn't fully understand, with no notes and with
no advisors, I think Kamala Harris is going to do
exactly what she has always done.

Speaker 6 (01:35:06):
Look really really bad. All right?

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
More coming up seven ten though, traffic and whether or now,
let's see what's happening on that drive.

Speaker 5 (01:35:13):
I think toe truck ninjas have struck on forty five
north southbound before I could get Langage on this wreck
right before Golf Bank or right after Golf Bank gets clear,
the backups are still there. From West Road North Freeway.
It doesn't have the suckage everybody else does, or even
that the North normally has. So we're looking at maybe
an extra six minutes in east text Freeway from the
cemetery later two or three extra minutes on the southbound

(01:35:37):
getting eastbound or getting Westbound's been the trick this morning.
We clear to wreck off the North Loop, a lot
of you trying to divert the downtown problem. Forty five
at the squeeze, it's just two little stupid lanes. We're
backed up from wayside all the way that way thirty
minute scrunch and then downtown. The truck wreck you got
has matt En route. They're about to close that ramp
to forty five southbound. It tend east freeways backed up

(01:35:59):
all the way from way side. Some of you re
routing up the Golf Freeway.

Speaker 6 (01:36:02):
That works. You've got some breaks after you of h
rick from the east side.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
Dude, Good morning, guy, Mike, Happy Friday. I don't think
enough people are listening to you.

Speaker 22 (01:36:12):
Thank you to take six ten south rather than the Beltway.

Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
I just went over the ship Channel on six ten
south and we're running really smooth.

Speaker 5 (01:36:21):
Yeah, the Sherman Bridge looks good. Terry, your hazardous, So
you got to take the South Loop. Okay, south Loop.
You're backed up a little round Cohen going that way,
and maybe an extra three or four, but that seems
to be the only way to go from the hard
work and east side to the visor side of the world. Advisors,
We're going to check you out at seven twenty and

To take on the day.

Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
Okay, so here's a question for you about brands in
for Jimmy. By the way, here's a question for you.
Why are more women buying guns in Texas?

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
Well?

Speaker 6 (01:37:52):
The answer should be obvious. Have you seen the border?

Speaker 4 (01:37:55):
Have you seen the amount of crime that is coming
across the border, the number of criminals that are coming
across the Well, one Texas gun shop owner says he
has seen a huge increase in purchases generally but specifically
by women. He is Gary humphyes he's the owner of
Humphrey's Gun Shop. We're gonna talk to him right after
we talked to sky Mike and find out what's going
on on that drive this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:38:15):
All right, Saeves.

Speaker 5 (01:38:16):
Salute this morning, Bob Franz for all the people that
drive on the Katie Freeway and come in from the
west side from Pinoak Road and Sinco Ranch. You've done
such a great job this morning because I've been so
busy with the other sides of town. You're rocking along
all the way to the President's Heads West Park Tollway.
I wish my big boss, Eddie Martinez would get on
now while it's clear I need this job, so stay

(01:38:37):
out of his way. Big problems six to ten north
westbound forty five.

Speaker 6 (01:38:41):

What happens next Man on Youth Radio seven.

Speaker 6 (01:40:03):
KTRH Okay seven twenty one now.

Speaker 4 (01:40:05):
According to a Fox News poll last month, concerned about
the border increased most notably since February among those under
the age of thirty, Black voters, Democrats, Hispanic voters, and
women twelve points higher. Women are concerned about the border
because they are seeing crime coming across that border. Nobody
is closer to it than people like Gary Humphries. He's

(01:40:26):
the owner of a gun shop in Del Rio, so
when you are on the border, you know exactly what
you're talking about. He was featured in a his Fox
News article. A recent Fox News article about that increase
in female gun purchases, he joins us, Now, Gary, good morning,
Gary Humphries, can you hear us?

Speaker 19 (01:40:45):
Yes, sair, good morning.

Speaker 4 (01:40:46):
Okay there you are good to have you, Hey, Gary,
thanks very much. Tell us about this surge. You're seeing
a lot more females in the shop.

Speaker 6 (01:40:53):
We're right about now.

Speaker 19 (01:40:54):
Huh, yes, sir, we have a shop here and uh
right here, right like we're right here in Del Rio,
and uh over the past, the trends had really changed
and h we're just seeing.

Speaker 6 (01:41:14):
Sir, Yes, sir, we got your boat.

Speaker 19 (01:41:17):
Okay, yeah, well the trend has changed over the few years.
I've been in business for a long time and we
get different trends. And right now having a lot of
first time buars women, they're really relative, real safe and
we got uh all Clantonio quite a bit. Women travel

(01:41:38):
down there is going doctors and shopping and stuff, and
we can get into the big cities. You have a
lot of crime and parking lots and people getting muggs.
So it's pretty pretty serious. A lot of them are
concerned about it, and you have a lot of first
time buyars coming in.

Speaker 7 (01:41:56):
I was going to ask you about the age you know,
are you seeing younger women be because I would say
presumably older women in Texas they've long been aware of guns.

Speaker 19 (01:42:07):
Yeah, if we're having some older single women, widows and
stuff purchased a few guns. Some of them have come
in and ask us some gun training. We don't do
it on the friends and stuff. I'll personally do it
and help them, and but I do recommend that if
they do have a gun or a purchase on them,
that they get from training, and also recommend that they

(01:42:29):
go ahead and do the concealed handgun license offered by
the state. Uh you learn the laws and uh you
know when to shoot, when not to shoot, and how
to use your gun and stuff. So it's pretty important
to know the laws. Just keep yourself out of trouble.
But young girls have a lot of young girls coming
in and that little by themselves and stuff and travel

(01:42:52):
by themselves, and they're nearby them just concerned about all
the crime that's going on in this country. We're all
basically getting home a lawless.

Speaker 6 (01:43:03):
Well, Gary, you're right, obviously.

Speaker 4 (01:43:04):
And when these young girls come in and they are
they telling you specifically they're worried about the number of
criminals that are coming across the border or are they
just talking about crime in general?

Speaker 19 (01:43:14):
Crime in general are in delle Reial. We don't really
see a lot of We're not having any problems we have.
Governor Rabbit has sent in a lot of highway patrol
units here and they're you know, pretty pretty heavily armed.
And anyway, the governor of Florida has sent highway control
units out to help out on the border. So we're

(01:43:35):
send a lot of them here and they're all over.
But when we had that influence of the adiens that
come in, they had them under the bridge down to
the or the victory had about fifteen thousand of them
and wouldn't let them get out of there, and the
administration government administration wouldn't do anything about it and wouldn't

(01:43:56):
do anything. So Governor Abbit sending in the yeah, uh,
high we patrol and they put up a barricade with
their high with prol units and shop shop the income
of all of aliens. Oh yeah, that's a that's.

Speaker 7 (01:44:14):
A that's a federally managed boort of entry there. But
it's the ones who come across the border illegally into
uninhabited for the most party into ranches. They have long
armed themselves. But I will tell you any woman in
Texas who travels the long highways, you have to worry
about a breakdown. You have to worry about the illegal
alien criminal gangs that have overtaken this state. You do

(01:44:38):
not travel outside a nearby police officer without having yourself
armed in the state of Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:44:45):
If you're a woman, that's correct.

Speaker 19 (01:44:48):
Uh going into the cities uh Houston, probably probably seeing
a lot of it local air when a woman goes
in to the shop and stan in a grocery store
and parking lotge they need to be really aware of
individual sitting in cars out in the parking lot and
you know, stay away from them, stay with a group
of people. Don't just be off by yourself somewhere keeping

(01:45:11):
getting muggs, you know, especially at night, and just we
need to stay out out home at night and out
grocery store any it's pretty rampling around the big.

Speaker 2 (01:45:25):
Well.

Speaker 4 (01:45:26):
Gary Humphries, owner of Humphrey's Gun Shop down there in
Del Rio, thank you for letting letting us know what's
going on. We certainly appreciate you sounding the word out
there and telling young people, particularly young females. Yeah, go
ahead and get those guns, but learn and get some
training as well so you know exactly how to use
it to protect yourself. It can be a dangerous place. Gary,
Thanks for the time. We appreciate you.

Speaker 19 (01:45:45):

listen hard enough. We are just a few minutes away
from the August jobs report numbers. Economists expect to see

majority of people don't have separate flood insurance, even in
flood plum prone.

Speaker 7 (01:46:41):

Speaker 5 (01:47:44):
You could go to Dallas Street, but why would you
want to sit through that backup from the bud Plant

we're backed up all the way from wayside going that way.

that Ohio Senator jd Vance said that school shootings are
quote a fact of life. Well might have been the words,
but not the context. Here's what he said.

Speaker 6 (01:48:46):
I don't like this. I don't like to admit this.
I don't like that this is a fact of life.

Speaker 22 (01:48:50):
But if you're if you are a psycho and you
want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are
soft targets.

Speaker 7 (01:48:58):
You meant to say a reality. He used fact of life.
Associated Press ultimately had to backtrack admit that they took
that quote out of context and said nothing, by the way,
about the personal shot that the VP opponent Tim Walls took. Advance.

Speaker 3 (01:49:13):
You go up to Yale, you get a philosophy major,
you write a best selling book, trash.

That's Walls in Pennsylvania allegedly campaigning. Harris also in Pennsylvania,
but she's not talking. She's in debate camp, preparing for
having to talk and the Tuesday debate showdown with Donald Trump.
We'll have coverage of that debate KTRHKTIH dot com and
the iHeartRadio apps Tuesday night, beginning at seven pm. Trump

is the j six election interference charges, most with which
were overturned by the US Supreme Court Judge Chuckin, though,
is setting all these deadlines and timelines to drag it

(01:50:28):
out before voters on a timetable beyond the election. Trump
pleaded not guilty at a hearing yesterday, seven thirty four
is our time. US constitution requires an American president to
be a natural born citizen, but a candidate from India
says no, he should nonetheless be allowed to run.

Speaker 23 (01:50:50):
The argument could be, he can run all the wants,
but ultimately he can't be president. But at the same time,
that's still impacting the state.

Gary Humphries has owned Humphrey's Gun Shop in Del Rio
since nineteen seventy three.

Speaker 19 (01:51:28):
Well, when I first started, I've been in business fifty
two years. When we first started, it was all about
deer hunting and deer rifles. Now we're getting a lot
of young women coming in.

Speaker 25 (01:51:38):
That's right, more women are now buying guns because of
the wide open border and the criminals being let in.

Speaker 19 (01:51:45):
You see the women and come in with their husbands
and stand in the background while they look for the guns.
And now's the men fand it in the background all
the life trying to pick out a gun.

Speaker 25 (01:51:55):

It's now seven thirty five. Rick Perry, former Texas Governor,
joining the staff of Rhino House Speaker Dade Feelin as
a senior advisor.

Speaker 2 (01:52:11):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:52:12):
Perry campaigned for Phelan in his hotly contested primary Republican primary.
So Phelan does retain his House seat, but he has
three challengers now for the speakership, including State Rep. David Cook,
a Republican of Mansfield. So will Phelan ultimately lose his clout.

(01:52:33):
Political consultant Bill Miller not sure about that. He says,
don't look for Governor Greg Abbott to get involved in
this battle.

Speaker 26 (01:52:40):
Governor can play a stronger hand than he's playing. He
does so with risk to himself. He has things that
he wants to accomplish in the legislative station. If he
plays a strong role in the hound, he will put
himself at risk. The smart Motor's hands off.

Speaker 7 (01:52:55):
Hands off, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick meantime called Feelin a
Rhino rad or Republican in name only, really a Democrat
because that's who he plays with in the Texas House.
Talk about eliminating property taxes in Texas again, but it's
easier said than done.

Speaker 27 (01:53:13):
State budget officials say Texas would have to spend about
eighty one point five billion dollars a year.

Speaker 28 (01:53:18):
Property taxes are fundamentally immoral, and I believe that they
should be eliminated at the end of the day. But
of course, with any sort of policy change, nothing is free.

Speaker 27 (01:53:27):
Economists Fans again says a large chunk of the cost
is property taxes collected by school districts.

Speaker 28 (01:53:32):
It's about thirty three billion dollars of the eighty one billion.
That's really where the focus is of the state eliminating
the school portion first.

Speaker 27 (01:53:41):
The state would also have to cover forty two billion
dollars in property taxes collected by cities, counties, and special
taxing districts. Char Lewis News Radio seven forty KRH meantime,

again at seven thirty eight Pop France in for Jimmy
one final time this week. He's back on Monday.

Speaker 19 (01:55:22):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (01:55:22):
I think it's important that we not gloss over one
of the news stories that you hit. And I didn't
pay much attention to it, and I should have. The
Joe Biden remarks about the Inflation Reduction Act, the dishonesty.
I mean, what he what he just did, and we'll
play it here real quick. What he just did was
tanned them out to a confession. He confessed. I mean,

(01:55:44):
he confessed to their lies with about a third, a
little more than a third, almost half a trillion tax
dollars with that Inflation Reduction Act.

Speaker 9 (01:55:53):
Listen to this, ever, my my investments, that, through my investments,
the most significant climate change law ever. And by the way,
it is a three hundred and sixty nine billion dollar bill.

Speaker 6 (01:56:05):
It's called A.

Speaker 19 (01:56:07):
We should have named it what it was.

Speaker 6 (01:56:09):
But but any rate, we should have named it what
it was. It wasn't A.

Speaker 4 (01:56:15):
It wasn't an inflation Reduction Act. Americans were suffering with
record high inflation, and in fact we're still suffering with
forty or high inflation.

Speaker 6 (01:56:22):
And this guy and his team in twenty twenty two pass.

Speaker 4 (01:56:26):
Something named the Inflation Reduction Act just to generate support
among you know, low education or low IQ voters who
don't know anybody.

Speaker 7 (01:56:34):
Well, with Kamala Harris casting the deciding vote proudly and
bragging about the Green New Deal, which is what we
called it, then have continued to call it all along.

Speaker 4 (01:56:44):
Yeah, well, of course this would be just a portion
of that, because the actual Green New Deal that she
sponsored when she was in the Senate, she truly answered, well,
the excuse me, fifty three on the low end, two
on the high end, trillion dollars to fully implement all
elements of the Green New Deal over ten years, over

(01:57:07):
ten years, between fifty three and ninety two trillion dollars.
So this one is a third or almost half of
a trillion dollars. But it was indeed about climate change,
and it was had nothing to do with reducing inflation.

Speaker 7 (01:57:22):
All of it borrowed money, every bit of it deficit money.

Speaker 6 (01:57:26):
Bingo bingo. And he confessed.

Speaker 4 (01:57:28):
And you know, people online are looking at this and going,
you know, Biden continues to fail mentally. Why do they
keep dragging him out there for these disastrous appearances? And
some of the others are saying this will probably be
his last one. We may not hear from him again
between now and January twentieth when he leaves office, because
he's dangerously you know, gone cognitively that he's saying things

(01:57:50):
that they don't want him saying anymore.

Speaker 6 (01:57:52):
It's crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:57:53):
If you need any more evidence that it doesn't really
matter on this side of the game, the Democrats who's
resident because it's a bureaucrats who are running the government anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:58:03):
That's true, That's very true. So you're right about Kamala.
She took credit for it. She had the tie breaking vote. Okay,
seven to forty one. Trafficking weather once again.

Speaker 5 (01:58:10):
All right, Bob, minutes share road. I'm sorry I didn't
meet a step on you, Bob. Put your hard hats on.
We are going to the hard work in east side, Terry.
Here's one for you, Terry. You're still wearing your similose colors. Right,
you're Florida State. Okay, good, We're looking at the toll
bridge southbound. A twenty one minute delay. Because you know,
I rooted for the oilers in nineteen seventy two, so
be proud. Not Highway ninety Crosby both ways between Bohemian

(01:58:33):
Hall and twenty one hundred. Pretty terrible stuff there. They're
doing the asphalt change out. It's going to be like
this for another week or so. At least downtown. You
got dueling FedEx trucks. I think they ran into each other.
Your package may be late. We're packed all the way
from the bud Plant. This is ien westbound at forty five,
all the way from the bud Plant, forty.

Speaker 6 (01:58:52):
Five minute delay.

Speaker 5 (01:58:53):
A lot of you trying to skip to the North
Loop too late. You're backed up from the truck stops
at Wallaceville back to the squeeze at forty five westbound
and south loop. Those of you who are hazardous and
all the normal people too westbound from culling up make
it from Macawa. It's fun to say, but it's tough
to get there. Eight extra minutes over to NRG. This
is all trying to go westbound. You know who's wide

(01:59:14):
open clear westbound South belt Way eight. If you can
do that down to uptown west Loop breaks from two
to ninety and we'll cover your North Belt suckage at
the seven fifty break. Skymike and the classic Elite GMC
traffic center.

By the way, we've got those job numbers now, they
just came in a few minutes ago. We'll share those

tell you this, they were below expectations, and the news
gets worse from there. I'll explain after just in a
few terry, what do you got for us on that radar?

Speaker 7 (01:59:46):
I got not much on the radar right now. We
got a lot of clouds, but not a lot of rain.

Speaker 18 (01:59:50):
The bulk of the rains out there in the Gulf
of Mexico, which is a nice place for it to
be for the time being. Fifty percent chance though that
some of that's going to pop back up over land today.

Speaker 7 (02:00:00):
Temperatures mid topper eighties.

Speaker 18 (02:00:02):
Hey, break out the kayaks this weekend, folks, time to
get outside. Saturday and Sunday sunshine both days, mid to
upper eighties.

Speaker 7 (02:00:10):
In the afternoons, we start to get a little bit
of rain.

Speaker 18 (02:00:13):
Twenty percent chance of showers, some thunder Monday, sixty percent
chance of getting wet by Tuesday, and it looks like
it's going to be another soggy stretch the next couple
of days after Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (02:00:24):
All right, good luck to your seminals, by the way,
to see if they can rate their ship. Right now,

Southloop's your best option. South Belt is even better. North
Sam Suckage westbound Alding Westfield. That's roadwork, two left lines
and then a left lane eastbound at Imperial Valley and Bob,

I behind all right, Claudia skies today. Occasional rain showers
as well. High eighty four overnight low Tonight going to
be about seventy two. Weekend's going to be beautiful Saturday,
Sunday and even Monday, sunny sky temperatures in the mid
to upper eighties. That rain, though, is coming back on
Tuesday sixty percent chance, Harry tells us, and then it's
going to stick around for pretty much the rest of

(02:01:59):
the week. So really enjoyed this weekend might be a
last chance to do hisself for a while, at least
without getting wet. Right now, seventy six at your official
severe weather station. He's radio seven forty KTRH. And now
one more look at the headlines.

Speaker 7 (02:02:14):
It is seven fifty two on news radio seven forty KTRHR.
Headlines are sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance. Our economy added
one hundred and forty two thousand jobs, in Austin in
August less than expected, So now the unemployment rate is
four point two percent. Julyized numbers had to be revised
down as well, one hundred fourteen thousand to eighty nine

(02:02:37):
thousand jobs created, and June's number was revised down as well. Okay,
we don't know what they're telling this anymore. Donald Trump
is in New York City this morning. He's appealing that
five million dollar defamation judgment against him, you know, the
penalty determined by the same activist judge who determined he

(02:02:57):
was guilty even before hearing the on jury trial and
the Egen Carrol case. See how this works in New York.
Nine Israeli hostages killed on this date. In nineteen seventy two,
it was the Munich Olympics. Latest news anytime at KGURH
dot com, our next update at the top of the hour,
keeping you.

Speaker 1 (02:03:18):
In the know, all the information in real time and
in the now, right now. News Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 4 (02:03:26):
All right, Yeah, you hit on a lot of what
I want to close with here, Shara, and some of
those numbers, the biggest one, of course, being the fact
that they ignore at least they maybe it's just because
that's how the reporting goes. The huge story from eight
hundred and eighteen thousand jobs being revised downward last month.
So the jobs report in July was way worse, and

(02:03:49):
it was already bad. It was one hundred and fourteen thousand,
as SHARE just said, that's what they originally reported, but
that was revised down to eighty nine thousand. June lowered
from one hundred and seventy nine thousand down to the
one hundred eighteen thousand.

Speaker 6 (02:04:03):
And again this is before we got that report.

Speaker 4 (02:04:07):
I'm sorry, this is after we got that report of
eight hundred and eighteen thousand jobs revised down from April
twenty three to March of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 6 (02:04:16):
So we're talking, I mean, everything we think we can
believe we cannot believe.

Speaker 4 (02:04:20):
And then, of course, by the way, today's for August,
the announcement just came in one hundred and forty two thousand,
below the one hundred and sixty five thousand that was expected.

Speaker 13 (02:04:29):
Share.

Speaker 4 (02:04:30):
I bring all this up for one obvious reason. They
continue to brag about the state of the American economy.
They being the Biden and Harris administration and now the
Harrison Walls campaign they're bragging about it, and the one
metric that they can use to brag about it is jobs.
Biden has been doing this ever since, you know, he
got started. You know, look at all of this massive
job growth, and these are people being called back to

(02:04:52):
work after they were laid off because of COVID, the
overwhelming majority of them, particularly for the first two years.

Speaker 6 (02:04:57):
But they're bragging about all of this massive job growth.

Speaker 4 (02:04:59):
They can't drag on, you know, mortgage rates, they can't
brag on, you know, fuel costs, they can't brag on
grocery costs, inflation in general, and all energy and all
of these other things.

Speaker 6 (02:05:10):
But the one thing they can say is jobs.

Speaker 4 (02:05:11):
And now, come to find out, even the jobs reports
are not bragworthy. They're not something that would warrant re
election for Joe Biden or a continuation of the policy.

Speaker 7 (02:05:21):
But it makes Wall Street happy.

Speaker 17 (02:05:23):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:05:24):
The more you can bring down the jobs to show
that the economy is faltering, then you can force the
Fed to go ahead and give Wall Street the lower
interest rate that they want. So, I mean, there's there's
a lot of big games being played here by big,
big money. So I just say, you can't trust anything
except what's happening to you and your own life and
vote accordingly.

Speaker 4 (02:05:44):
Yeah, I think that's that's very well said, and I
hope people, you know, will do exactly that. Anytime they
tell you that the American economy is doing good. Look
at your own checkbook, look at the balance, look at
your own credit card debt.

Speaker 7 (02:05:56):
Can you find a job? Can you find a job?
But hire you? That's what matters.

Speaker 4 (02:06:02):
There you go, there you go, and you know it's
it's such an unfortunate situation. We are now, by the way,
officially sixty days, so we'll call it two months from
election day November fifth, obviously only about thirty days away
from early voting for those states that do it early.
When does early voting start in Texas?

Speaker 7 (02:06:19):
October twenty one?

Speaker 4 (02:06:20):
It's a Monday, okay, so it's it's a little earlier.
In Ohio it's an October seventh, start that thirty day.
So you know, early voting is on its way, and
people are still suffering, and they continue to gaslight us
and tell us state the economy as well. Don't listen
to them in their numbers. Like you Scherre just said,
look at your own self and your own numbers and
find out whether or not you feel like this is

(02:06:41):
what you want to continue.

Speaker 7 (02:06:42):
That's reality. That's not narrative. That's reality.

Speaker 6 (02:06:46):
That's exactly right. All right.

Speaker 4 (02:06:47):
It's been a fun week, Shriff. Thank you so much
for letting me sen in for Jimmy. I always appreciate
the opportunity.

Speaker 7 (02:06:52):
Always love it. Now are you you're not rooting for
Michigan tomorrow against Texas?

Speaker 19 (02:06:55):
Are you?

Speaker 6 (02:06:56):
I'm a Buck guy? Where are you from?

Speaker 7 (02:06:57):
I thought, girl, I want to ut that's what you're saying.
So I thought, surely you wouldn't be rooting for Michigan
like Jimmy.

Speaker 6 (02:07:05):
Is No, no, no, no, I'm a Buck eye.

Speaker 7 (02:07:07):
His granddaughter's there, right.

Speaker 4 (02:07:09):
But you guys enjoyed that little battle there. I know
that'll be a lot of fun for you guys to
rehash on Monday. But thanks everyone. Be well, be safe,
stay free, have a great weekend.

Speaker 6 (02:07:17):
Bye bye,
