Speaker 3 (00:44):
You know what, Surprisingly we have got with these wet
freeways and especially on the North side. And I haven't
checked my little Popiel's pocket radar yet, but I can
tell you the North side is awfully wet, probably the
same way all around town. So let's turn off this news,
let's get a nice earl start whichever way we're going.
And surprisingly I don't have anything horrible on the freeway yet.

(01:05):
I do have the stall North Freeway ranking it's outbound
taking up that left side. You know that's a sticky
spot and this morning you better keep your radio here
because the way things are, stuff changes within two minutes,
and we'll have traffic every ten in the USA RV
Resorts dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
By the way, you'll be the first to know what's happening,
guarantee all right from our KTRH stop tax defenders twenty
four hour Weather Center. Thunderstorms today with the HIG temperature
right about eighty two, so we'll see just how consistent
these storms, how much rain we're expecting for the day
today when we talk to Terry Smith at the Weather Channel,
let's do that in about nine minutes right now. Temperature
currently is seventy five at your official severe weather station

(01:44):
News Radio seven forty k t RH. It's time now
for the news. Here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Hey you, Jimmy, five oh one on kg RHR. Top story.
The Vatican announces that Pope Francis has died, one day
after making a surprise appearance on Easter sun in Saint
Peter's Square.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Curdie Fatelli born a Pascua.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Dear Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
The Pupe's death also comes after meeting with Vice President J. D.
Vance yesterday every day almost saying he prays for him
every day. Francis became pope in twenty thirteen. Francis was
eighty eight and had been hospitalized earlier this year for pneumonia.
More throughout the morning, also topping the news, at least

(02:31):
four shootings across the Houston area this Easter weekend, at
least six injured. Four of the injured were shot early
Easter morning outside of what appears to be yet another
after hours club operating in the city.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
He can't confirm that right now, but it appears as
if they were operating as an after hours establishment.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
This taking place less than a month after HPD started
a crackdown on these clubs. Two people died in the
violence this weekend, one shot in a pickup trunk, the
other killed in the third ward five h three on KTRH.

Speaker 7 (03:05):
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not,
nor has he ever been, a member of the MS
thirteen gang? And did you ask him point blank?

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Well, Dana, what Donald Trump is trying to do here
is change the subject. Mariland. Senator Chris Van Holland not
answering that question on CNN, one of the many interviews
he did yesterday after visiting accused illegal alien kilmar Abrego
Garcia in l Salvador. By the way, that trip may
have violated the Logan Act, which bans American lawmakers from

(03:38):
trying to influence foreign officials, the law, of course, used
by Democrats to go after former Trump National security advisor,
General Michael Flynn. Elsewhere, a US Supreme Court justice is
slamming his own colleagues for ruling against President Trump's deportation fights.

Speaker 8 (03:56):
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is openly criticizing the
High Court. In a scathing descent, he slammed the Court's
decision to halt President Trump's deportation of a group of
Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act. He calls the ruling
legally questionable. Justice Clarence Thomas also dissented.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Fox is Ashley Stromyer. There it's five h four now.
The Trump administration's plan to encourage more illegals to self
deport doesn't just play, doesn't just pay for their plane tickets.
It gives them a stipend to resettle as well.

Speaker 9 (04:26):
Individuals don't want to be deported, they don't want to
be detained. I actually think thousands, tens of thousands potentially
hundreds of thousands of individuals would take advantage of an
offer like this and go voluntarily.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Former immigration judge Arthur says, this is probably cheaper than catching, detaining, processing,
and then deporting illegal aliens, something we wouldn't be dealing
with had it not been for Joe Biden's open policies
and activist judges.

Speaker 10 (04:53):
A federal judge has blocked President Trump from revoking the
temporary protected status granted to more than a half million
illegals immigrants by President Biden. Louisiana Senator John Kennedy tells
Fox this is another example of judicial overreach.

Speaker 11 (05:06):
The judge is wrong. He or she obviously doesn't know
them all.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Book from a j Crue catalog.

Speaker 11 (05:13):
I believe this judge issued a national endjumption. In my judgment,
those are illegal.

Speaker 10 (05:18):
The judge rule that the Trump administration must look at
each immigrants case individually, which would take several years or
even decades. Coreyolson News Radio seven forty KTRH five h.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Five more anti Trump protests nationwide, including about one thousand
people showing up at Houston City Hall protesting the DOJ
efforts to cut federal spending.

Speaker 12 (05:39):
The government is trying to find ways to save those
sax payer dollars and make sure that the services that
are rendered, the services that are provided are the highest
possible quality at the most reasonable amount of savings possible.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Political analyst La Vidiac with our TV partner Channel two.
After all of the election issues in twenty twenty two,
a judge ruled that Harris County must hold a due
over election for Republican judicial candidate Tammy Pearson Democrat to
Shawn Jones. That election was supposed to happen next month.

Speaker 13 (06:10):
That election has been delayed because the judge who purportedly
won the race filed an appeal and that has been
winding its way through the Texas appeals court system.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Ollie Hanson with the Texan Jones has been allowed to
keep the seat during the process. The next possible do
over date would be in November five oh six. Looking
at Your Money, Overnight training is down across the board.
This morning, Oil training at sixty two eighty a barrel.
And there's more good news for the Texas economy.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Though.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
An AI startup company is the latest to leave California
for the lone Star State.

Speaker 14 (06:45):
AI companies like Tognaje are more attracted to Texas's pro
business environment.

Speaker 15 (06:50):
California is known as the tech state where they moved
back and break things.

Speaker 16 (06:53):
But more recently we've seen.

Speaker 15 (06:55):
The legislature in California that's moving back and breaking things
with innovation.

Speaker 14 (06:59):
David Dunmore, our campaign manager for Better Tech for Tomorrow,
says Texas is picking up Steve in the AI race
with Cali.

Speaker 15 (07:05):
We're beating California and energy and therefore an investment the
values that are animating the companies that are coming here
that is so crucial to maintaining long term dominant.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Jerre Lewis News Radio seven forty KHR eight five oh
seven the Rockets lose Game one against Golden State ninety
five to eighty five, and recapping our top story at
the age of eighty eight, Pope Francis has died. I'm
Cliff Saunders on Houston's News Weather in Traffic station k TRH.

Speaker 17 (07:31):
More than you weather traffic for every day, I drive
a loze, so I listen for the talk for every one.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
There's always something new every day.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Use radio seven KTRH, Hello.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
For baby five Oh waits that time You're in Houston's
morning news. All right, if you go to see a
mental health By the way, there's nothing wrong in my
mind of going to see a mental health professional if
you need help, provided of course, that the mental health
professional you're going to see is not crazy themselves. And
I think we have to realize that just because you've

(08:05):
got the title of mental health therapist doesn't mean that
you're sane or can really help somebody. New York City woman,
this is Briboard's Breitbart's story. By the way, you'll never
see this in the New York Times. A New York
City woman accused of leaving a brick. Well, let's first
of all, let me let me allow me to correct Breitbart.

(08:26):
They she didn't leave it per se. She smashed it
into the windshield of the Tesla cyber truck that she
was attacking. So that's that's a little stronger than leaving it.
She left it, I guess, but she left it with gusto.
New York City woman accused of leaving a brick adorned
with a swastika and the word Nazi on a tesla

(08:47):
is reportedly a family therapist. Yes, she's forty six years old.
She was released on Saturday without having to post bail
because in New York City. They probably see nothing wrong
with what she did. She's allowed to stay at Liberty
pending her trial on hate crime charges. According to a
report in The New York Post, caught on camera slamming

(09:11):
a brick with a world word Nazi in a swastika
into the windshiel of the cyber truck. She then dumped
a bag of garbage on it before fleeing the scene.
The forty six year old also goes her name is Natasha,
but she also goes by the name Carrie. You mean,
like the uh, like the Carrie, like the character in
the Stephen King novel.

Speaker 18 (09:32):
You know.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
That crazy woman. I don't know. If you rename yourself Carrie,
you might want to question why why that's happening. She
blamed by the way Elon Musk for her actions. She's
not personally responsible. Elon Musk could rub her to this,
She said, every time I see those cars, I see
Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi. I made

(09:57):
a mistake because I'm basically living in terror every day
that the country is turning into the Nazi Germany. I'm
truly terrified because Elon was unelected and they're deporting migrants
without a trial. In other words, she suffers from Trump
de rangement syndrome and evidently has not either bothered to
seek professional help or is incapable of treating herself. Even

(10:19):
a mental health therapist in New York cannot avoid Trump
derangement syndrome. Five eleven. Time for traffic and weather together.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Now you're worried about going to mechanics sometimes because you're faith.
You know he'll look under the hood and he'll find
all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yep, that's why I don't seek mental health.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
I mean, you know, you're afraid of what's under the
hoods cheme. I let me drive or work anymore. If
they studied me.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I've seen a peak under your hood. You have every
right to be scared.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Katie Freeway, Which way we're going on the KDI Here?
This is eastbound inbound Bunker Hill gotten next to what's

smunch on the inbound I just it's maybe a slight
bump on the digitals right around Voss on the inbound

Now, it's not getting wet everywhere at the moment.

Goettfeld had a lot of fun on his Friday light show.
This this was worth saving for for this morning having
a lot of fun with this panel. Talking about the
trip that Maryland Senator Chris van Holland took down to
El Salvador. One of the things that came out of
there trip. You know, there's photos ops there. I'm not

(13:48):
sure where they were. The two of them were meeting them.
They're sitting up what looks like a picnic table and
there's margarito's there. I mean, why would you be why
would you why would you be serving up margarita's? I mean,
did did the Senator Van Holland order the margaritas? You
know what his claim is, I never drank the margarita.

(14:11):
So it's like Bill Clinton, I did not inhale, right, Okay,
you didn't have didn't have didn't sit there drinking Margarita's

Either way, let's look out on the Hardy. I don't

so you could see more flashing lights. I think we're
waiting on some responders. Hardy Toll Road. If you're coming
down from the Woodlands, if you're passing Grand Parkway, look
out right before you get to that toll plaza. We
still have at eighteen wheeler. We're calling it a stall.
That's on the North Freeway outbound at Rankin and he's

(15:08):

not a big backup there either. I'm Skywike and the
Generator Supercenter dot com traffic center.

It's all your news, music.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Sports podcasts, and talk free never sound it's so good.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Some people claim that Trump is to blame. Right, five
twenty three is our time here in Houston's morning news. Well,
nobody asked Senator Van Holland to go to Ell Savador,
but he did, and he met with that alleged MS
thirteen white beer gang member who's down there sipping Margarita's.
I thought that was like, I thought it was like
hard time at that prison. I'm surprised they put a

(16:39):
you know, Margarita is that close to a guy they
had inc incarcerated. Anyway, here is the gut Field panel
having some fun with this story.

Speaker 21 (16:48):
Senator shares Margarita with fuck malice. Democrat Senator Chris van
Holland actually didn't fly to El Salvador and try to
rescue an MS thirteen gang member and posted a picture
with him at a restaurant else or, as President said,
they sipped margarita's.

Speaker 22 (17:02):
How do the Dems not see how absolutely this is.

Speaker 23 (17:07):
It's really kind of amazing because they got their ass
and they're getting their ass hand to them on men
playing women's sports, and they're like, all right, we have
to have a new policy. I know I'm going to
leave the country and try to bring back someone who
no one wants back here. But the issue that they're
trying to talk about due process. Are we going to
pretend that there aren't plenty of American citizens who shouldn't
be deported to.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
El Salvador as well?

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Like Lively?

Speaker 23 (17:26):
Yeah, the cast of the view like I can go
on my dentist style and Child's dds said, well, I mean,
are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (17:33):
But it's I don't even understand the thinking because.

Speaker 23 (17:36):
This is one of those eighty twenty issues where no
one is in support of this.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
But if you watch the corporate.

Speaker 23 (17:40):
Press, you would think any of us at any moment
are at an option of being fourth from the country.
But we're forgetting that everyone was just imprisoned their own
homes for like quite some time four years ago, and
there was no due process there.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Amen. Amen. The little fellow over there a good point, Ricky.

Speaker 22 (18:03):
So the dam's always pick an anecdote that doesn't apply
to anybody else.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's like the Republicans.

Speaker 22 (18:10):
Will like they'll, they'll, they'll they'll talk about a woman
who's ripped and murdered, and we all think about that
could have been my mom, that could have been my wife,
that could be my daughter. They pick an MS gang
member and we go that could be my No, nobody
in my family is running guns or a human trafficker.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
It doesn't apply to me.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Well, you underestimate how messed up my family is.

Hard.

Here's Cliff Sanders.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Thank you, Jimmy five thirty one on KTRH. Our top
story this hour, as you slept, The leader of the
Roman Catholic Church has passed away the day after Easter Sunday.

Speaker 28 (21:40):
Pope Francis passed away in the morning of Easter Monday
at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta. It
was just hours after his final public appearance, wishing happy
Easter two thousands of worshippers from the balcony of Saint
Peter's Basilica before being driven around the square to greet
the Catholic faithful in person. The pont had endured months

(22:01):
of ill health, including a week's long stay in hospital
battling double pneumonia.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Jonathan Savage reporting there. Francis was eighty eight. He became
pope in twenty thirteen after Pope Benedict retired. Francis passes
away a day after meeting Vice President JD. Vance at
the Vatican five point thirty two on Ktrh. The Trump
administration is putting a New York Times report that Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth talked about military plans on a group

(22:28):
chat with his wife and brother on Blast, saying that
quote no classified information was shared elsewhere. The administration says
it's made progress after a second round of talks with
a run over their nuclear aspirations. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton
says the nuclear threat the Iranians present is imminent.

Speaker 29 (22:48):
They have enough in rich uranium now that it could
probably produce enough weapons grade in just a matter of days,
maybe a few weeks.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Cotton on Fox. The White House is also hopeful of
a deal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Speaker 30 (23:01):
My whole life has been one big negotiation. And I
know when people are playing us and I know when
they're not. And I have to see an enthusiasm too want.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
To end it.

Speaker 30 (23:11):
And I think I see that enthusiasm. I think I
see it from both sides.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
On truth Social the President said, quote, hopefully Russia and
Ukraine will make a deal this week. It's now five
point thirty three. No word yet on any tariff talks
between the US and China, and it appears as if
the Chinese still don't know how to deal with this president.

Speaker 31 (23:32):
That's because Trump is the first president in years to
actually stand up to China.

Speaker 32 (23:36):
They've pretty much gotten to live, cheat and steel in
terms of business, and I've been doing it for almost
four decades now.

Speaker 31 (23:44):
National security analyst At Tarzansky says, now Trump is pointing
out that they actually need us more than we need them.

Speaker 32 (23:50):
The Chinese desperately need us to keep on buying. Think
of it this way. If Walmart closed tomorrow, China would
be in a world of herd.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Tarzansky says.

Speaker 31 (23:59):
Trump's here is to simply stop letting countries like China
take advantage of us. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty

Hakim Jeffries blaming Trump for the economy that Joe Biden
actually broke.

Speaker 33 (24:19):
The cost of living in the United States of America
is too high. Donald Trump and Republicans promised to lower
the cost of living.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
In fact, on.

Speaker 33 (24:27):
Day one, costs aren't going down. They are going up.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Jeffries on ABC. Democrats aren't just fighting Trump, they're fighting
each other, with the younger, more radical leftists making moves
on the establishments.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Our party is in a crisis.

Speaker 29 (24:42):
We're seeing people lose faith in our party.

Speaker 14 (24:44):
They're losing faith in democracy across the country.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
That's DNC vice here, David Hogg on CNN. He's actually
donated one hundred thousand dollars in a plan to primary
quach ineffective Democrats. Now, Bill Maher's recent pot positive comments
about Trump and the meeting the two of them had,
as of course, enraged and triggered the left. Rihanna Lyman
of the Federalists as are simply shared what most Americans

(25:10):
already knew, but the left just can't stand it.

Speaker 34 (25:13):
Bill Mahr is only finally the first time taking his
toes and stepping over the line to get out of
the propaganda press in Hollywood operatus and starting to see
that everything that he was told and all the things
he peddled himself were untrue.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
She adds that this is just another example of the
left eating their own five point thirty five Here at home,
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick recommends that the Senate adopt
the House's school choice plan. Of course, that bill passed
last week. It's slightly different from the Senate plan that
passed in February. Meantime, there is another bill that could

(25:47):
reshape how history and race are taught in state universities.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
It's Senate Bill thirty seven.

Speaker 24 (25:54):
What it does is gives the power to run our
universities to the man and women appointed by the duly
elected governor of Texas.

Speaker 35 (26:04):
That's Sherry Sylvester with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, who
says this bill is long overdue.

Speaker 24 (26:11):
Over the years, that power has shifted to faculty and administrators,
and they have begun to think that they run the universities.

Speaker 35 (26:19):
The bill already passed in the Senate and is now
heading to the Texas House. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven
and forty K tire it is now five point thirty six.
You know, some Americans moved to Europe and lost weight
without changing their habits. This is likely due to the
amount of chemicals and preservatives in American food that European
food does not have.

Speaker 36 (26:40):
There is less processed food, it is more natural in
a sense, and between the walking and the quality and
quantity of the food that is the perfect recipe to
be lean.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
KTRH medical expert doctor Joe Galati says, you know what,
maybe RFK Junior was right after all, strows loose to
San Diego three to two. They host Toronto Tonight It's
seven on KTRH and once again recapping our top story.
After battling health issues for months, Pope Francis has passed
away at the age of eighty eight. I'm close Saunders
on Houston's News whether in traffic station KTRH.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
What happened, why it happened, the information you need to
start the day. Now back to Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Five thirty eighty stard time here on Houston's Morning News.
All right, the financial literacy. We talk about teaching financial
literacy in the schools because unfortunately, you know, if you
can't learn it at home. And by the way, it's
not just that parents don't take the time to teach
financial literacy. Some of them are not financially literate themselves. Therefore,

(27:50):
how you're supposed to teach something you don't know? And
maybe that's where this test came in. The Finra Investor
Education Foundation, which is a financial education not profit administered
a seven question quiz to twenty five five hundred adults
in recent months, testing their knowledge of what they would
consider or even I would consider relatively simple consumer finance.

(28:12):
The results were three and ten. Test takers missed a
simple question about interest rates, two out of every five
flubbed a question about inflation, and an item on compound
interest stumped seventy one percent of consumers. So here's the
inflation question they asked, and remember there was like three
out of ten who missed this one. Imagine that the

(28:34):
interest rate on your savings account was one percent per
year and inflation was two percent per year. After one year,
how much would you be able to buy with the
money in this account? And it's multiple choice? More than today,
exactly the same, less than today, don't know? Those are
your four choices. Again the question. You have an interest

(28:56):
rate on your savings account of one percent, inflation is
two percent after one year, how much would be able
to buy with the money in this account? More than today?
Exactly the same, less than today. Everybody knows it's less
than today, right, because if your money's only being saved
at one percent, inflace is two percent, then you're yes,
you knew that but three out of ten didn't. What

(29:18):
does that tell you? Five forty time for traffic and
weather together. As we check out the drive once again,
here's guy mine.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
All right, it's hitting the fan already, folks. First of all,
we have this Katie Freeway Blaylock. Looks like everybody's okay.
The way they're lined up is a good sign. And
they've moved everybody over. This is Katie Freeway inbound at Blaylock,
and they've actually shifted it across the entire freeway.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's on the right side.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Things will start to bump up as you're passing Bunker
Hill or you're passing Guestner on the inbound I got

How, much and how?

Speaker 19 (30:51):
Often, well it's going to vary quite a bit in
terms of how much rain you're going to. See the
front is stalled and so the showers and thunderstorms are
going to be off and on through the, day so
you'll get some rain at. Times you'll get a. Break,
generally about an inch of rain would be a fair

(31:11):
estimate for most of us, today and there's more rain to, come.
Folks so if you miss out on today for some,
reason there's a little bit more wet weather because this
front is going to be kind of hanging around a
good bit of the. Week so an eighty percent chance
of showers and storms today and will be near eighty this.
Afternoon tomorrow looks partly, cloudy with a thirty percent chance

Speaker 31 (43:25):
Leave voluntarily facilitating self deportations is actually SOMETHING the us has.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
K trh so what do You Think gail? King did
did she did she perform the duties of? An astronaut
did did she did she just, you know hitch a ride.
Into space she doesn't like the idea that you think
that she just took, a ride and she she made that.
Pretty Clear Here's, gail king, you know talking about the

(45:51):
people who think that she just took a ride on
board that space flight with, you know with the, other
ladies and some reaction to it from the Folks. OF
fox i don't like that people are calling it, a ride.

Speaker 46 (46:02):
A ride, you know you never see, a man a
male astronaut who's going.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Up in space and, they, said oh we took.

Speaker 46 (46:08):
A ride we actually duplicated the Route That alan. Shepherd
did no one said he took. That ride it's always
referred to as a flight or. A JOURNEY so i
feel that that's a little disrespectful to what the mission
was and what the Work That blue.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
ORIGIN does i thought that they got a lot. OF
respect i was a little surprised. At this it was.

Speaker 41 (46:28):
A ride you're not, an astronaut she since she was at.
The mission you went up and you. Came down that's what.
It is it was. A ride it's, a ride and
she's like mankind mission. And astronauts you're not. An astronaut
you didn't do Anything, astronaut like.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
How dare they?

Speaker 24 (46:44):
Say Mankind alan shepherd did this sixty four.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Years ago ten. Years ago we were. Using, blackberries yeah,
ALL right i mean. Things, shamee also have you ever done?

Speaker 42 (46:53):
THOSE rides i Went To disney world and they Have
the Mission.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
OF mars i.

Speaker 42 (46:56):
Think it might be harder than what they did because
they simulate the g force of Going to mars by
spinning you around really. Really fast you don't have to
spin around, and there you just go.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
STRAIGHT up i think my ride. Was, harder well here's the.
Other thing Don't astronauts they hit toggle buttons and push
stuff and they do experiments in space right on the
space On The. Space shuttle they were. Doing that it's
the space station they're. Doing that these ladies were not doing.
Any Experiments they the only thing that they did other

(47:28):
than take the ride up and back down again is take.
Some selfies that's all. They did they took a ride
and took. Some selfies six' ten time for traffic, and
weather together tried to. Pull them asides.

i mean when we have, we had the, Story Last
hour mental health, professional new york, mental health professional she's
a therapist is out there vandalizing Teslas because because. She suffers,

(53:06):
From Trump derangement syndrome of course ela musk. Derangement syndrome
just as much so the progressive far Left Was never
very happy when bill baher decided he was going to
Sit Down, and break bread with president Trump Sit down
at dinner with kid. Rock and a, few other folks
but he did and then he had the nerve to

(53:26):
come On His show and report that. Donald trump is,
a human being AS you know twelve Days Ago.

Speaker 37 (53:32):
I had dinner WITH president trump i never felt i had.
To walk, ON eggshells around Him and Honestly, i VOTED
for clinton and obama but i would never feel COMFORTABLE
talking to them the way I Was. Able to talk
with donald trump.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
He's much more self aware.

Speaker 37 (53:46):
And he lets on in public i'm just taking as,
a positive That this person exists because everything i've EVER
not liked About, him, was i swear to god absent.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
At least, On this night with this.

Speaker 37 (53:59):
Guy trump was gracious and measured and why, HE isn't that.
In other settings i don't know i've had so many
conversations with prominent, people who were much less connected people who.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Don't look you in the, Eye none of that with
him and.

Speaker 37 (54:13):
He mostly seered the conversation too?

Speaker 2 (54:15):
WHAT do you think about this, i know your. MIND is.
Blown so was mine i, Hadn't just a couple of
examples jeff The Call Joins Us at to paul university's
media studies professional there that kind of broke the bank
for the progressive, Far Left and having their darling Bill. Maher,
saying decent things about trump oh that.

Speaker 17 (54:34):
Was shocking to the progressive left and you're. Right to
call him the darling he was the darling of the
left media for a long time because the progressive Media
Always liked to point to bill maher as kind of
One of. The leaders of the trump resistance and he's
upsetting the left now because he's knotted down the line
commentator who agrees with, the progressive stance on every issue

(54:57):
and for them, trying to think independently a problem and.

Speaker 26 (55:02):
That's, not allowed by.

Speaker 17 (55:03):
The true Believer So to speak that's what eric hoffer
called the fanatics of the fifties When we Had, mass
movements like stalinism and nazism because they put rational thinking
aside in order. To be part of the movement and,
when you're part of the movement you have, to be one.
Hundred PERCENT doctrinaire so to, SPEAK and i must say

(55:24):
rhetorically i think the progressive left is making a mistake
by being All in, on one hundred percent trump, resistance
Because at a certain point rational americans know that IT'S
ridiculous to side with an ms, thirteen gang member who's
Been Deported, or showing sympathy for, luigi mangoni or criticizing

(55:46):
reciprocal tariffs or any number of things even like budget
cutting on. Government fraud And abuse and waste so most
americans want common sense solutions and answers. From whatever Part
of your politician and mar by trying to have some
gumption and look for workability and government has suddenly gotten
himself off the guest list for all the progressive.

Speaker 26 (56:10):
Cocktail hours that are going. To, be coming down the.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Road yeah no, doubt about it here's the question does
anybody else. In your estimation in The Media? Does anybody
else follow BILL, maher are, there people at cnn for
example That Have? Been sworn enemies of donald trump are
any of them willing to change their minds if for
no other reason than to try to rebuild their network.
And to, get some ratings, again.

Speaker 17 (56:32):
You know it'd be interesting you would think that the
left wing media would Try to follow the, lead of mar,
at this point because you know he has been willing
to kind of look at different perspectives and to look
at the, election, from last, Fall To, say hey you
know kamala harris who also was, a darling of the
progressive left couldn't get, enough votes to win the presidency

(56:53):
and somebody needs to look at. The tone of the,
nation now and by the way there are a lot
Of people who are comfortable with trump for a number of.

Speaker 26 (57:02):
The reasons we've talked about before.

Speaker 17 (57:03):
He's mercurial and hard to, predict but on the other
hand people do like the idea that he does want
to bring some sanity to government, spending And to government
international affairs and, mars willing to listen TO that AND
the people At Cnn and msnbc and the washington post
and places like that are, still NOT willing to do
that and i think they.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
DO that at their own risk, I. Think you're right about,

Yeah well We Have a. Spokesman for the Carmalo Anthony
Family his name is Dominique alexander Sofo. OF a poor
man's al. Sharpton i guess he was, there the first
thing he did he calls a press conference, which, is
supposedly open to everybody right and the father of the
boy That Was, stabbed to death by. Carmelo anthony that father,

(01:12:48):
shows up he's not. Saying anything he's not, disrupting anything
he's there to. Listen and he gets kicked out they
call the. Cops and they kick him. Out. That's Their
first pr move huh makan kelly talked about it on.
Her Podcast, with a special guest let's listen.

Speaker 50 (01:13:01):
What we've seen at the beginning of this press conference
of the father being at this press conference.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
Is a disrespect.

Speaker 50 (01:13:11):
To the dignity of his son is that was disrespectful

invited he knows that it's, inappropriate to be. Near this

(01:13:32):

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
So i say to.

Speaker 36 (01:13:37):
People.

Speaker 50 (01:13:37):

racism we have conservative operatives that have been posting non fu.

speak louder than words well sir the guy you're defending
stabbed a seventeen year old in the heart to death at.
A football, GAME over a seat so yeah i guess.

In public for easter. Sunday Pope Francis has Passed away,
on cliff saunders on HOUSTON'S. News weather and traffic station ktrh.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
What started in your car now works on your phone
with the new iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
Apps The new, precepts, are Fantastic get.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
HOUSTON'S news weather AND traffic's how I, listen to ktrh
instead lay.

Speaker 2 (01:24:28):
So every television outlet here, in houston has done this
story and, they all ran the same footage and they.
All HAD the same online story so i got to
think that they were kind of. Spoon fed this, FROM the,
police and that's fine i guess except when you just
take information from the, police and you you spoon feeded
you don't. Get an opportunity to ask questions and when

(01:24:51):
you have a bunch of Packages Of cocaine washing up
IN jamaica beach on. THE golf i would have questions
i just. Would because here's the first thing here's the.
First thing that came to. Mind i'm just a curious
person do you think that everybody who. FOUND a, package
turned it in i mean even if, assuming they knew

(01:25:15):
what it. Was it's a package of cocaine i'm looking
at a picture of a Package That had washed up
on jamaica beach and it's it. Looks Like IT'S wrapped
in plastic so i'm i don't, know If it's waterproof
or not but, i'm guessing it might, be waterproof and
if it's waterproof then then clearly. It's Worth a lot of,

(01:25:39):
money and, i'm not talking about you know people confiscating,
it FOR their own personal use but i would think
there'd be a temptation at least for some people to
try to, find somebody to sell it to, because it's
probably worth you know, obviously thousands of. Found thousands, ABOUND
thousands of dollars you know i Don't know how, big

(01:26:00):
the packages i'm looking at, or how much cocaine it
is or what the stream value. Is or, all that
other stuff of course the right thing to do is,
to turn it into the police. ASSUMING you know what
it is i don't think. It's stamped cocaine on the package,
i'm TRYING to read the package and. I really can't
read the package it's got, some sort of lettering on
there so there, it's IT'S claiming to be something but

(01:26:21):
i doubt very much. If it's claiming, to be cocaine
i'm just curious how will you know if, You found
all of the cocaine because it definitely happened out at sees.
Somewhere or raided out of seeing they're like throwing these
packages off the boat to try to get rid of
it before, they get boarded by you know the coast
guard or whomever it is that's. Chasing, them down for

(01:26:43):
this stuff again just curious seven to ten, high for

Seven twenty Two. Our Time here in houston's, war news
president trump would, like you if you are here illegally
to help yourself. Self serve yourself to the deportation line
and he's he would like to. Have a financial incentive
to do it his new plan to get illegal aliens
to self deport involves giving them. A free plane ticket

(01:32:31):
and a stipend i'm not sure how much, Of a
stipend we're Talking, about here so to quote the. President
we're gonna give them a stipend we're gonna give, them
some money in a plane ticket and then we're, gonna
work with them if they're, good if we want them
back in we're going to work with them to get them.
Back in as quickly as we can so the idea
here is to get everybody out of the country who's
here illegally and then start investigating every individual who wants

(01:32:57):
to come back to. See if they're. Worthy Of coming
BACK It's interesting Proposition Art. Arthur joins us center for
immigration studies do? You think? Something, like, THIS could work all, Right, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:33:07):
No, i think it could jimmy and honestly we do
something like this, already for, aliens who are in detention
you know, assuming that they don't have any crimes assuming
they Haven't Done. Any egregious things in the, united states
rather than ordering them remove we give them the opportunity to.
Take what's called voluntary departure under safeguards, you don't get

(01:33:29):
in order of removal and we, actually buy your plane
ticket to leave but. You agree not to. Appeal the
decision and it's very quick it's very cost effective process
because every day at detention is about, one hundred and,
fifty dollars per alien and you know if we can
move that person out of custody in a couple of days,
instead of holding them for, you know a month and

(01:33:50):
a half we're.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
Going to save a lot of. Money it costs us.

Speaker 9 (01:33:53):
One plane ticket it would definitely work and this is
just an example of The carrot and Stick approach that.
The Trump, HAD been restration is using christy, nome, dhs secretary,
has been telling, people look leave now don't you. Know
maybe you can, come back legally but if you stay
you're not going. To be able to come back legally
we're going to. Find you five hundred dollars a, day
for every day that, you're here we're going to detain

(01:34:15):
you and we're Going To. Physically remove you, from the
united states in.

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
Other words if you don't leave voluntarily then, if we
have to force you out. You are not eligible to
come back but if you self deport then you are
eligible to come back at least at least you're giving
people A Path to. Come, Back to the, united states.

Speaker 9 (01:34:31):
Legally yeah and you know the important, Thing, for you
to keep in mind jimmy is that it's about seven
thousand dollars per anten, per detention, that includes, actually arresting
them detaining them prosecuting Them And.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Then removing them, from.

Speaker 9 (01:34:46):
The, united states if we can you know pay instead,
five hundred dollars for people to leave that's going to.
Be a whole lot more cost effective we can Essentially
reduce the unauthorized population and the states by fourteen for
The Cost. Of every removal from. The united states so
very cost effective and a. Lot of these folks want

(01:35:07):
to go they came here. To work for a period
of time the can go home and live a pretty
good life on The Money, that they've made in the
united states and a. Lot OF them want to, Do.

you think of the supreme court decision This last, week
holding THESE deportations of venezuelan nationals.

Speaker 9 (01:35:24):

dissent which you put Out yesterday, actually put, it out, on,
saturday afternoon, it is you know truly you know One
Of those things, in which the supreme court acted exceptionally

Speaker 1 (01:52:08):
What's, happening on news radio seven jgrh.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Yeah we need a do over on. A judge's election
from twenty twenty two, it was supposed to be happening
soon but evidently that's on delay again because not only
it's been, and this is in. The first delay it's.
Been delayed repeatedly we're talking about election this is a
bitter part. Of three years old at this point lots
of Issues With, this and controversy here In Harris, county

(01:52:35):
so much so the judge peoples a visiting judge had
to step in And order A do over For The
republican And Democratic. Candidates there Tammy Pierce and DeShawn jones
but evidently DeShawn jones doesn't want a do. Over because.
Evidently He won THE Election it's complicated alexandra mieler joins
us metro board member former candidate herself. To talk a

(01:52:56):
little bit about this. Give us a little background on
this what what does the what caused the need? For,
the do over to, Begin.

Speaker 52 (01:53:03):
With, sure, thanks for having me jimmy so yeah if
we go, back, in time those few years ago uh just,
About every issue that could happen occurred so, multiple.

Speaker 18 (01:53:15):
Polling locations that actually opened, late quite.

Speaker 52 (01:53:18):
A Few that closed early equipment malfunctioning in what was
decided in the court was that the county. Clearly didn't,
follow our state election laws and unfortunately what's been happening
is this legal process is drug on so long that
there's really no remedy because we're. Staring at the twenty

(01:53:41):
twenty sixth Election So this is. When We had rodney
ellis bring in clifford tatum came in right, before the election.

Speaker 18 (01:53:50):
Just, to you know be an expert thankfully. We returned
elections to the county, official but, outside of even those headlines.

Speaker 4 (01:53:59):
You Know they Changed Full in.

Speaker 18 (01:54:00):
Locations commissioner ramsey are loan republican had about Twenty percent.
Less poling locations in the democrat area so whatever, you could.
Put Yourself On the scale they did and, tammy pierce
is very crucial judicial race by their. Vote count came
up four hundred short and so through the legal, process you're,
able to show that actually you know there was over

(01:54:21):
one thousand votes counted that were invalid in addition to
the impact of, those long. Lines, in close pooling locations
taper shortages yeah it's the habit that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
Most of, us can look back, to you know if
you asked me, the whole election should be, a duover
should have been a duover even if. It didn't seem
to be particularly close because, of all, THE things that
you mentioned this one i guess was what the only
one that was really so close that they thought that
the dueover was necessary to make. Sure that we had
a fair election.

Speaker 18 (01:54:50):
And so and just on the scale of how close these,
Elections Were one point one million votes. Tammy pierce's was
within four hundred votes even, with that degree of just
that close, we're sitting here over three years later and
so really there's no consequences for bad behavior because they

(01:55:10):
did secure so many. Of these judicial. Seats In Our
communities paying for it the shawn jones is thankfully, going
to be up in twenty six regardless of. How long
this takes to get settled and, if you look back
in twenty three he. Was responsible for several officers getting killed,
let out somebody on multiple felamy Bonds And that individual

(01:55:33):
went shot the harrison, county sheriff deputy to routine traffic
shot and then he barricaded himself and, when they were trying.
To detain him shot three other officers and this was
Somebody Who had five felony convictions and sean jones let
him out on a fifty thousand dollars bond when he
put a gun to his.

Speaker 2 (01:55:49):
Girlfriend's, head and threatened to kill her unfortunately. He's there
the highest state of hoving. FORTUNATELY he's. Far from the
old one i, know we're at the airport right now so.
