in about nine minutes. Right now seventy eight at your

It is time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
Good morning. Everyone is Sound five oh one on news
Radio seven forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (01:30):
We need in this country to reach a point where
we love our children more than we hate each other.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
Robert F. Kennedy Junior on Fox, explaining why he suspended
his own campaign in order to join Donald Trump and
Maga on social media. Kennedy t's that more ex Democrats
would be joining Trump's unity government. It is Trump's unity
government elsewhere Trump's running made. Ohio Senator JD. Vance pushed
back on the Democrat lie that Trumps would support a

(01:59):
FED ban on abortion not.

Speaker 8 (02:03):
I think you'd be very clear he would not support it.
That I mean details, yeah, I mean if you're not
supporting it. As the presdent United States.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
You find it, have you tell a federal abortion ban?

Speaker 5 (02:12):
I think he would. He said that explicitly that he
would vance.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
On NBC's Meet the Press seventy one days until election day.
And what do we expect over the next ten weeks,
I don't know. How do you guess it?

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Well?

Speaker 9 (02:24):
Share of the next big event will be the first debate.

Speaker 10 (02:28):
Very much looking forward to the opportunity for President Trump
to thoroughly dismantle Kamala's terrible economic record in person.

Speaker 9 (02:38):
That's Nikolie Ambrose, an RNC committee woman and Fox News
political analyst.

Speaker 10 (02:44):
I'm looking to see Americans realize what they have seen
and experienced. We cannot afford Democrat economic devastation and ruination,
and that is what Kamala Harris is pushing.

Speaker 9 (02:57):
Also, look for the inflated Kamala pull members to come
back down. Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven k t r H.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
Well, based on year, today's stock performances, now the moneyed
crowd and of course the Democrats think that Kamala Harris
has a sixty four percent chance to win in November.
But financial planner Richard Rosso says, look, it's not about
stock performance and inflated dollars that matter. It's the Federal Reserve,
it's policy and how it devalues the dollar.

Speaker 11 (03:29):
We have been in this process where the Fed comes
in on a white horse and bails out the market.

Speaker 12 (03:34):
As long as.

Speaker 11 (03:35):
That condition stays, who cares If it's President Nate, Jimmy
and share a president, No one's going to care. As
long as the state is doing what the market wants.
The Fed to do what.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
The market wants it to do. He says, investing in
businesses yourself based on who you think the president might be,
it's a bad idea. Five oh four is your time.
There's been no progress in Cairo in negotiations for a
cease fire between Israel and Amas. Israeli has launched air
strikes on Hesbel and Lebanon over the weekend, and they've

(04:06):
stopped basically of a potential mass rocket attack, not how
the anti Israel crowd sees it.

Speaker 13 (04:13):
Though they certainly had a right to defend themselves against
the atrocious Commas attack, they never had the right do
not have the right to go to war against the
entire Palestinian people.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Bernie Sanders on ABC this Week. Now, Hesbela launched hunters
of rockets at Israel. In response, in Germany, terrorists of
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the stabbing attack at a
festival that killed three people injured eight others. The attackers
were targeting Christians. It's now five h five. Radically liberal

(04:45):
leaders in the city of Austin. Guess what they've proposed
a budget to pay for out of state abortions, the travel,
the procedure, the lodging.

Speaker 14 (04:57):
This is another example of liberals wasting money on radical proposals.

Speaker 15 (05:01):
Property taxpayers in Austin should be furious that the city
is going through with this, and this is maybe one
of the most horrific uses of tax dollars I've ever seen.

Speaker 14 (05:09):
Brendan Wilton's with the Texas Scorecard says, thankfully, the state
can likely put a stop to this.

Speaker 15 (05:14):
I would imagine that you might see something from the
Attorney General, and I think you'll see something from the
state legislature to strength and blaws against this.

Speaker 14 (05:22):
Wilton says, this is a concerning warning of what liberals
want every big city in Texas to look like. Ethan
Buchinnon News Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
They defunded police. Remember the Texas Education Agency has new
curriculum guidelines that now would include Bible references actually being
taught to students.

Speaker 16 (05:41):
There's been a great deal of blowback from the media
and the left because there are Bible references in it.
And of course one of the references is the Sermon
on the Mount.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
Yeah, Sherry Silveszer of Texas Public Policy Foundation, she says
the reason why she chose that. In particular, a television
station in Austin, one of the reporters referred to Christ's
Sermon on the Mount as the Sermon on the Mound. Okay,
it's five oh six, A record sixty thousand Americans canceled

(06:19):
home deals in July, sixteen percent of all homes under contract.
And with economic parallel across the goal globe, have you
noticed goal prices spiking now over twenty five hundred dollars
an ounce governments like China and India buying stockpiles, even
as our own dollars being tanked by the Federal Reserve
spending dollars. We have to borrow against jeweler Land Shapiro,

(06:42):
though he's a daily dealer in that commodity as precious jewelry.

Speaker 17 (06:48):
People that I talk to all science going to three thousand.
Super smart people that know the business that say it's
going to three thousand.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Three thousand. Ounce Jimmy, it's unbelievable. Spend an explode prices.
It's been expected actually for years, but happening now because
of course our economy, our dollars are going to nothing.
Labor Day weekend travel expected to be up nine percent
over last year, though. Drivers getting some break at the pump.

Speaker 18 (07:16):
Right now, drivers in the Houston area are paying to
ninety eight for a gallon of regular unleaded. They're going
to be paying about six dollars less per tank of gas.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Doug shoot with TRIPAA Texas gas prices, remember less than
two bucks a gallon when Donald Trump left the White House,
astronauts Butch Willmore Sonny Williams, they're going to have to
stay aboard the International Space Station for another five months.

Speaker 19 (07:41):
NASA has decided that Butch and Sunny will return with
Crew nine next February, and that Starliner will return uncrewed.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
Yeah, they're bringing that Boying ship back. It's got a
helium leak. They won't have anyone aboard it. The astronauts
will have to come back on a different craft. Now,
they were only supposed to be in space for eight days.
The Astros beat Baltimore sixty three in Philadelphia to night

Lazy days of summer not around here.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
A lot can happen, Jeep Bob, this something crazy on
news Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
More than sixty five million US households owned a dog
or have a dog as a family member. For those
who don't like the owning term, If I don't own them,
why why do I have to pay for so much stuff?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Anyway? I thought this.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I thought that, I don't know why you just get
to claim a holiday if you want to. National Dog Day,
held every year on August twenty sixth, was established in
two thousand and four by pet and family lifestyle advocate
Colleen Page. You mean one person somewhere said, Okay, I'm
going to make August twenty sixth National Dog Day. Well
I'm going to make I'm gonna make what's your birthday again?

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Sharah?

Speaker 6 (09:14):
You don't have to make anything. It's Alamo Day.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Well, I would like to also make it birth is
Alamo Day, all right for the other forty nine states.
For the other forty nine states will be Sheriff Friar Day.
Why because I said so.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
Well, today is my husband's birthday, and seven years ago
is when we were battening it down the hatches and
evacuating under Harvey.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, we don't need a national Harvey Day. I don't
want to remember Harvey anymore than I have to remember Harvey.
But oh, I did you just had a birthday? So
what is your your August seventh? We can make that
national Jimmy Birthday?

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Sure?

Speaker 20 (09:50):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (09:50):
JB JB talks Jbday. I did a little experiment. I
was at the grocery store.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Now is it?

Speaker 3 (10:01):
It's every time I go. It's an experiment, it always is.
And I saw this end capped and at the end
cap this kind of ties into national dog name. At
the end cap were some pet wipes, you know, for
for for those of you who have dogs that maybe
I don't know, like a corki or something, have long
fur in the bottom and the young get a little

(10:22):
pool on themselves and you got to clean up and
clean them up a little bit. So anyway, pet wipes.
The pet wipes were one hundred sheets for five dollars.
Like it's like, it's like it's a bargain deal. And
I thought, wait a minute, that sounds expensive to me.
So I said, hang on, Elizabeth, and I go over,
go over to the baby wipes, which are right around
the corner, a count, one hundred and sixty four count

(10:45):
of baby wipes, two dollars and forty nine cents. And
I'm saying to myself, isn't this so typical they've taken
they've taken pet stuff. We're being screwed people. They're taking
pet stuff and they're jacking up the price because we
sew love our.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Pets, or you're in so much of a hurry, yes, or.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
This is especially made for pets.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
See Jimmy Barrett likes to cruise the grocery eye.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
I do. I liked.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
I like to like to find out how the grocery
man's trying to get me today. Can you believe that
one hundred sheets for pet wipes for five bucks, one
hundred and sixty four baby wipes to forty nine perfect
example twice as much for the product for the pets.
I'm gonna just keep doing what I'm doing, giving, giving

(11:32):
swipe or human food. No, I didn't even buy pet
food anymore. I cook him chicken and that guy stub
it's cheaper in better.

suspect and a fatal stabbing on Montrose Boulevard. According to

(23:00):
Democrats and mainstream media, crimes actually going down in the
Biden Heares regime will In reality, it's getting worse.

Speaker 27 (23:08):
Public has lost faith in the police in terms of
being able to solve crimes, so they don't report them,
and you have the major cities not reporting anything to
the FBI because they don't want their crime rates to
be public knowledge.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Mike Daniel with The American Thinker told KGRH, this is
just an attempt to gaslight all of us. Five thirty
three is our time. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton calling out
Kamala Harris for her flip flopping on major issues, as
well as hiding from her very own record.

Speaker 28 (23:38):
If she's had such a radical change of heart in
the last five years, she owns the American people.

Speaker 6 (23:42):
Answers, Yeah, why? Cotton on ABC has been thirty six
days since the Democrat coup and still no news conference
or interviews from Harris. She did say she'd schedule an
interview though before the end of August we reported that.

Speaker 29 (23:55):
But is that joint interview happening this week on that
bus stour Georgia.

Speaker 30 (24:00):
You know, I don't know the answer to that question.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yeah, that's one of our spokespeople, Harris advisor Mitch Landrew
on MSNBC. Outside that political bubble, American families were all
suffering the regulatory bureaucracy of the Biden Harris regime. At
what cost each family and average forty seven thousand dollars.

Speaker 31 (24:23):
There's just a number of things that they've been that
they've increased regulations on and it's now costing Americans a
substantial amount. And that's on top of the increases in
the national debt and the higher interest rates, the inflation.

Speaker 12 (24:36):
That's going on.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
Economists Fan skin He says, a government line is that
the country is actually not in a recession, but feels
like that to most of US. Regimes forgiveness of student loans,
it's another factor of increasing government debt and the cascading
effect of student borrowers underwater in their personal Lives.

Speaker 30 (24:58):
A study of borrowers who had their stud pudent loans
forgiven finds they have since added more debt from credit cards,
auto loans, and home loans, and their credit scores failed
to improve. Financial strategist Mitch Kramer says giving borrowers an
easy way out only encourages more borrowing.

Speaker 32 (25:12):
Look at anybody in life has had tremendous adversity, There's
been a growth experience on the other side of it.
If you don't reward people for paying back debt, you're
basically condoning behavior for them be financially irresponsible.

Speaker 30 (25:24):
Despite Biden's forgiveness of more than a billion in student debt,
in America's total household debt burden has risen to an

they can to bring it back.

Speaker 33 (25:53):

Israel striking a blow against the Iran bach Terra Group

Speaker 34 (26:23):
Amid the continued escalation in tensions, wondering if there would
be an Iranian attack or an attack by Iranian proxies.
We've heard from these Raeli military in recent weeks that
they would be preparing to defend the country and then
strike back. Well, quite the opposite taking place, with Israel
taking out this preemptive attack around five am, deploying one
hundred of fighter jets to hit forty Hesbela launch sites

(26:46):
in southern Lebanon and destroy thousands of Hesbola rocket launcher barrels. Now,
according to Israeli intelligence, Hesbela was within minutes of launching
a wider attack.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
This is a blow to the Harris administration, or the
potential Harris administration in the current bind Harris administration. Last week,
case you didn't hear the news, Ford basically said yeah, no,
you know that three row SUV that we're going to
make all electric? No, no, no, not going to happen.
We're tired of losing money. They said, you know how
much money we lost last year in electric five point

(29:33):
five billion is what they lost last year. So they're
saying that instead, we're going to go hybrid because we
think that's what Americans are ready for, that that's what
Americans want. I would I would I drive a three
row SUV. I would seriously look at a hybrid. I
really would. I wouldn't have a problem with the hybrid.
Something got be a little bit better gasmology. I don't

(29:55):
need to spend a ton of money on fuel. I
just want something super reliable. I just want to know
that when you know, when there's no electricity to run,
there's gasoline backing it up. So I'm all right with
the whole hybrid thing. General Motors I don't know if
they've quite woken up to all this yet. Their CEOs
has a much more liberal bent, I think than Ford's CEO.

(30:16):
I think Ford was just kind of going along with
the program. I think I think what's their name, Mary
get what her last name is? Over General Motors, I
think she's much more with the program because all their
dealerships they they're featuring still featuring electric front and center
in all their showrooms, trying to get folks interested in it.
If they've lost over five billion dollars in the last

(30:37):
two years.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
Yeah, last time they're on the verge of bankruptcy, the
government saved them. So, you know, government motors remember that.
So what does it matter. It's kind of like you
know this news story we just did about the students
as student loan debt, you know, forgive their debt and
they just go on borrowing. Well, why wouldn't you government
subsidizing electric?

Speaker 21 (30:57):
Leannella.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
Yeah, this is how we make our money now doing
the government wants us to do.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yeah, well, it looks like they're getting a little pushback
at least from some of these automotive manufacturers because there
are convinced that, hey, listen, we have to if we're
going to stay in business, we have to ultimately produce
what people want to buy.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
I mean, it would be great if it worked. So far,
it's not working so well.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, well, yeah, we've talked a million times about the
lack of charging stations and all the other reasons why
electric won't work, and until they if government really wants
to see us go electric, then they where's their part,
you know, in getting these these charging stations built. You know,
why would we go out and buy electric when we
got no place to charge them. It's ridiculous. By forty

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Next on the ten on seven forty kt RH. The
RFK Junior had a chance to He had long introduction.
Of course, he probably knew that, right. I'm sure he
didn't mind. He was probably basking in the welcome that
he was getting from the from the Trump crowd. But
President Trump took a while to actually get him to

(36:36):
the point of speaking. When he did speak, he decided
he wanted to focus on the things that he and
Donald Trump had in common. So here's how that went
for RFK Junior.

Speaker 7 (36:45):
We talked about not about the things that separate us,
because we don't agree on everything, but on the values
and the issues had bind us together. And one of
the issues that he talked about was having saved food
and ending the chronic disease epidemic. Our children are unhealthy,

(37:16):
as sick as children in the world. Don't you want
healthy children? And don't you want the chemicals out of
our food? And don't you want the regulatory agencies to
be free from corporate corruption?

Speaker 4 (37:39):
And that's what President Trump told me that he wanted.

Speaker 7 (37:42):
He also told me and he wanted to end the
grip of the neocons on US foreign policy.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
He said he didn't want any.

Speaker 7 (37:56):
More two hundred trillion, two hundred billion dollar wars in Ukraine,
that we could use that money back here in.

Speaker 15 (38:02):
The United States.

Speaker 7 (38:12):
And the safest, the best way to build a safe
America is to rebuild our industrial base and rebuild the
middle class in this country. And don't you want a
president who's going to get us out of the wars,
and who's going to rebuild the middle class in this country?

(38:44):
And he told me that he wanted to end the
censorship because the whole basis of American democracy is the
free flow of information. And we know that a government
that can silence the phone has license for any kind
of atrocity. And can you think of any time that

(39:08):
you can look back in history and say that the people.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
Who were censoring were the good guys.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
They're always the bad guys. Yeah, they are. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
I think what was amazing we find out that they
had this phone conversation within a matter of hours, a
couple of hours after Trump was shot in the face
in Butler, Pennsylvania. You know what did he do in
the immediate aftermath after they dragged him off, Well, he
was on the phone with Bobby Kennedy, who had bothered
to call him.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
I'll tell you what, though, I'm listening to all this,
I'm saying to myself, Wow, he is saying some very
dangerous things for him, for him and for the Trump ticket.

Speaker 6 (39:52):
Well, they pulled a secret Service protection. Sure, the Biden
regime has pulled his protection.

Speaker 16 (39:57):
Ye.

the establishment. It will do everything they can to fight back,
and we've already I think they've already done it. They've
already done it, and they will continue to do it
very you know, That's the only thing I'll say about that.

Speaker 29 (43:03):
Within the swing states where he has taken himself off

Speaker 10 (43:31):
I'm actually really looking forward to both the presidential and
the vice presidential debates. What is clear is that Democrat
leadership does not have faith and the ability of Kamala,
Harris and Wald to act on their feet.

Speaker 6 (43:44):
She says, when key issues and polity differences are actually
finally addressed, the Kamala poll numbers will drop. As for
who might win in November, will wall Street thinks it
has the answer.

Speaker 35 (43:56):
Looking here to date, Wall Street gives Kamala sixty four
percent chance to win.

Speaker 11 (44:00):
But then there are a lot of trading groups that
are saying it's going to be Trump. So if you're
an investor and you're going to invest based on who's

down backlash to Kamala Harris's grocery price gouging pitch. Some
Democrat lawmakers delivering a quiet message to anxious allies. Don't
worry about it. It's never going to pass Congress.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Don't worry.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
We're not going to do anything with that Harri's campaign's proposal.
I wonder how many of the things that she's proposing
have a have a prayer of making it through Congress.
Not that, not that we should not take it seriously
because of that, because after all, there are most everything
that seems to happen these days for any presidential campaign,

(49:44):
for any for any president is executive orders. She can
do it by executive order, couldn't she if she, if
she really wanted to do that, if she wanted to
fix prices at the grocery store, and she can't get
her Democrats in Congress to pass a bill, she can be.

Speaker 6 (49:59):
Done before they had to and it worked short term,
you know. So this is a scenario that Summers, seeing Biden,
finally resigns before the election, Harris becomes president, she issues
her executive order, and prices do come down. When you

(50:19):
say you can't raise your prices, yeah, of course they do.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
But yeah, but it may work.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Temporarily time for the election. Uh yeah, well that's that's
a possibility. That makes more sense than anything else I've
heard so far, because they're not going to get anything
past the gus.

Yeah, we fall as start at some parts of the country. Well,
we have to wait a while round here from our
Katirah top tax Defenders twenty four hour whether the center,
Jeffino is infentary today and it's a little bit cooler.
But that's not saying much, is it.

Speaker 22 (52:11):
It is not not much of a consolation even to
say that, Well, at least there's no heat advisories. Those
are a little farther to the north. But we are
going to see a little bit of rain. It looks
like it might struggle to make its way towards I ten.
Most of it it was going to be some of
the heavier rain down towards Pasadena, alvin as we moved

(52:31):
throughout the latter part of the morning and endo the afternoon.
But again, most of it does look like for the
next few hours to stay south of I ten. But
as far as our rain opportunities go, looks like about
a seventy percent chance we are going to see some
showers and thunderstorms as we progress throughout the day, partly sunny,
we hit the low nineties heat index around one oh one.

(52:52):
That low nineties is actually just a little on the
cooler side of average. Straight showers and thunderstorms later tonight
partly cloudie and upper seventies, and then tomorrow again late
morning showers and storms, mostly sunny, back to the low nineties,
and then look for those afternoon showers and thunderstorms again

But it turns out that student loan borrowers, the ones

out and piled up a bunch of other death that'd
mad more than made up for the student loans day.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
The student loan borrowers that had their loans forgiven by
the Biden administration, at least according to a July study
by a guy by the name of Constantine Janellis, a
social professor of finance at the University of Chicago who
studies household finances, found that borrows maanks you out there
and make up for the not having any student loans
anymore by borrowing on cars that went way up, credit

(56:11):
card borrowing that went up, home loans that went up.
So at the end of the day, very few, if
any of their credit ratings improved and they owe just
as much, if not more than they did before. Join
us to talk about is Mitch Kramer, Financial Strategis and
CEO Fluent Financial. I guess we shouldn't be surprised by this,
should be.

Speaker 32 (56:29):
No, Jimmy, we should not. One of the biggest problems
these kids have is lack of financial education or education
system is done a poor job at teaching financial planning basics.
And you think credit is one of them.

Speaker 6 (56:43):
Well, student loans used to be given out through banks
the traditional way, right, and so then under the Obama administration,
suddenly we decided the government was going to take over
school loans. Isn't the government basically just training a whole
group of young people to be this way?

Speaker 32 (56:59):
Yeah, I would say it's part of the indoctrination program.

Speaker 27 (57:03):
Share.

Speaker 32 (57:04):
I think what you see happening is that colleges have
so many degree programs that really don't have a good
return on investment ROI. And one of the things I
would like to see colleges do has have an ROI
for every degree program they have, So your stemming business
degrees would probably have the highest ROI. I guess med
school nursing would do a good job. But the colleges

(57:26):
are very complicit and part of this problem because I'm
not educating the kids how to use credit.

Speaker 5 (57:32):
Appropriately, and that's purposeful.

Speaker 6 (57:35):
Don't you think they're getting the money, aren't they?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Yeah, they really don't. They really don't want young people
to eat the financial strategies. They want to be able
to just go ahead keep milking them.

Speaker 32 (57:44):
Yeah, it's part of the indoctrination program. And you also
feeding into a lot of these kids have a heigh
sense of entitlement, so they feel like I have x
amous amount of money coming in, x amount of money
going out, and some of the money money going out
has been suspended on the student loans. They say, I
want to get a new car, I want to go
on this trip, I want to buy this handbag. So
they fill that void. It's the saving money and putting

(58:06):
it away. They just spend and curve more debt. They
don't really learn their they don't really learn the lesson
how to use credit appropriately.

Speaker 6 (58:14):
How do you stop it? At this point?

Speaker 32 (58:18):
I think what you need to do is get rid
of maybe some of the classes in high school and
college that teach, you know, political science, and teach financial
planning one on one and give people life skills that
they could utilize because the majority of kids still don't
go to college after they graduate from high school.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
I think that's a great idea, but the devil is
in the details. Who would teach those courses. You'd need
to bring people in who actually know something about it, right,
I mean you don't you'll want to depend on the
on the Education Association to provide you with somebody who's
going to teach you about finances. You want somebody from
the business world exactly.

Speaker 32 (58:54):
And I would recommend the certified Financial planner A big
part of what we do it and financial with education.
A lot of people in the industry do the same thing.
A lot of us like the volunteering new pro bono work.
I go back to my university, Texas Tech once this
semester and teach a class in financial planning one on one.
So a lot of us out there want to help

(59:15):
and give back.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
You ought to give back to some of these government
economists too, that might help.

Speaker 32 (59:20):
Yes, I think one of the biggest solutions in the government.
And know this is a little bit off track. If
Trump gets re elected, which I hope he does, break
up d C. You have defense bases and contractors in
many of the states. Break up the swamp by moving
the EPA to say like Bismarck, North Dakota, you know,
moving the Department of Interior to Midland, Texas. Get the

(59:42):
swamp out of DC and you may be able to
make some significant reforms there.

in our area. Man shot and killed outside a pool
party at a Northeast Houston airbnb late last night in
Southwest Houston, a man shot outside of food truck over
just twenty dollars HPD looking for three people in that case.
If you believe what you're hearing from Democrats so and

(01:02:52):
the media, crime is down, but that's not what we're living.

Speaker 14 (01:02:57):
Turns out the official numbers that we've seen might be
twisted by an agenda.

Speaker 27 (01:03:01):
They're trying to claim that crime has dropped dramatically during
the Harris Biden administration, and it really has not.

Speaker 14 (01:03:09):
The American thinkers, Mike McDaniel told KTRH he doesn't think
we will ever be able to trust the reported data again.

Speaker 27 (01:03:15):
That would require an entire revision of the way the
media behaves and what they believe. Trust in the media
is at an all time loan for good reasons.

Speaker 14 (01:03:24):
McDaniel says that in reality, defund the police movements have
resulted at higher crime across Democrat run cities. Ethan Buchanan

with the Senate investigation of the July thirteen assassination attempt.

Speaker 39 (01:03:54):
If you want to design investigation to raise suspicions and
drive conspiracy theories, this is exactly how you do that investigation.

Speaker 6 (01:04:02):
Yeah, Johnson on Fox, he says, whenever Republicans request documents
from the Democrat controlled agencies, those documents arrive late and
they're heavily redacted. Meantime, Conmala Harris hiding from the Biden
Harris record of regulations that are strangling our businesses and
ultimately costing families tens of thousands of dollars on their

(01:04:26):
bottom line.

Speaker 31 (01:04:28):
The Biden administration has put in a ton of regulations
just over the last three and a half years, and
this Lady support shows forty seven thousand dollars more for
a family.

Speaker 6 (01:05:02):
Meantime, a cycle of debt that's a result of government
runs student loans and loan forgiveness. Those forgiven student loans, well,
they borrow more on cars and their credit cards. Financial
strategist Mitch Kramer blames an entitlement mentality.

Speaker 32 (01:05:18):
A lot of these kids got these degrees and see
their peers doing really well, and they feel like, well,
I should have the same level of success, and I'm
entitled to have this student loan waved. And with that
money that I should be putting way and saving, I'm
just going to maintain an increase lifestyle.

Speaker 20 (01:05:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:05:32):
President Biden has forgiven one point three billion dollars in
student debt, paying those universities. By the way, with our
tax dollars, total US household debt meantime, we're in a
record high this year. Local Democrats trying to hand out
free money too, attempting to bring back that Harris County
guaranteed income program for the select few that they choose,

(01:05:56):

Speaker 9 (01:06:01):

Speaker 33 (01:06:05):
What they've done now is they've come back and said, well,
we're going to try to relaunch this program and put
some restrictions on how the five hundred dollars a month.

taking a look as to whether or not they will
take action, and they may in fact be waiting for
more details about the program.

in heightened tensions, a president on vacation perpetually, it seems,
and now a terror group Hezbolah. Yeah, they were making
a lot of show that they were going to make
a major attack on northern Israel, but apparently they didn't
get to launch. A lot of strikes were being traded.

Speaker 40 (01:07:08):
Israel says it carried out preemptive strikes against the Iranian
backed group prior to the showdown. The IDF claims it
detected a large scale attack was imminent. This all coming
as ceasefire and hostage talks continued between Israel and Hamas
in Cairo. Negotiators are trying to bridge gaps between the
warring sides in hopes they can prevent a wider regional conflict.

Speaker 6 (01:07:31):
Fox's John Scott don't forget this reporting ten weeks from

Erkot pretty much went away from this RKOV contingency reserve

This is a voluntary recall. Let me see if there's
anything in here that would elude us to where This
came from originally voluntary recall for nine and thirty five
eight ounce Great Value apple juice old a wal Mart
stores in a six pack with pet plastic bottles has
been issued. According to US Food and Drug Administration August
twenty third, the recall was upgraded to a Class two,

(01:09:58):
which is to bind by the FDAs of that may
cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. Maybe talking
about or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences
is remote, so don't worry. It might make you sick,
but it ain't going to kill you. It's inorganic arsenic

(01:10:19):
versus organic arsenic. Is the organic arsenic better for you
than the inorganic? Inorganic arsenic is a confirmed carcinogen, something
that can cause cancer, and is a chemical contaminant in
drinking water globally. So maybe it's something that the apple
juice was mixed with the water it was used to
mix with the apples to make the apple juice. No

(01:10:44):
Refresco Beverages us INK, located in Tampa, Florida, issued the recall,
So that's the American company, but that doesn't necessarily tell
us where the apple juice was produced. Only tells you
the beverage company from which the apple juice came from.
So that's as far as I can take you on
that one. But I know we have a lot of
Walmart shoppers out there. See have you know the great

(01:11:04):
value which is the Walmart brand grade value apple juice?
Take another look at it? Six forty one time for

Speaker 4 (01:11:10):
So organic, so it's good for the Endirron it's inorganic,
so it's.

Speaker 6 (01:11:14):
Not now organic means that it happened naturally. Inorganic in
this case means was it some sort of chemical combination.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
All right, it'll make you sick, but it won't kill

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):

but at least some chances that get the first some
folks to get wet.

Speaker 22 (01:12:57):
I guess that is the case, especially towards the a
little bit of a system coming in off the Gulf.
If the future radar holds up, and I wish this
radar would give me some sports picks, but that's not
the way it works out. We're looking at in about
an hour south of Pasadena, maybe towards League City, big

(01:13:17):
cell coming in dropping it looks like possibly some heavy rain,
and then in about two hours we're gonna see this
cell advance and we'll get some rain into the city
if this holds up. But looking at showers and thunderstorms,
about a seventy percent chance.

Speaker 5 (01:13:32):
Still kind of a hit or miss thing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
But we're partly sunny otherwise, and we're getting up to
the low nineties, so with the rain, we're gonna keep
things just on the cooler side of average. Straight shours

The body of a missing eight year old boy with
autism has been recovered from a lake after the child
went missing near his Richmond home this weekend. Ten weeks
to election day, and here they come again. The Biden
Harris regime is going to offer free COVID test in

(01:16:00):
next month. Four towns in Massachusetts. Jimmy, they've put out
a voluntary evening curfew request. They're going to protect people.
They're going to encourage their mosquito bites. Okay, Massachusetts mosquitoes
apparently Carrie potentially deadly Eastern ech wine encephalitis.

Speaker 5 (01:16:19):
Well, that party is serious.

Speaker 6 (01:16:20):
Here in Houston, we battle Saint Louis and cephalitis, west
nol virus, dingy fever. But you know, mosquitoes get it
their carriers, They get it by biting infected people exactly,
and then they buy more people and infect them exactly.
So why do we suddenly have all these diseases rising up.

Speaker 5 (01:16:37):
That's a good question.

Who are you voting for? And why?

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
They had some gen zers a panel of gen zers
on Fox over the weekend talking about where their concerns
are because they both campaigns, Republicans and Democrats, trying to
reach out to them on social media. Here's a little
bit of how that conversation went.

Speaker 6 (01:17:09):
This is a Fox News poll.

Speaker 44 (01:17:11):
It's registered voters under the age of thirty five. This
was before RFK got out of the pole. So forty
six percent for Harris, forty one for Trump, five percent
for RFK, three percent for Wes. So I'm going to
go to you, Grace, because Grace, you were a Democrat.
You're starting to lean you're starting to lean Republican. But

(01:17:32):
you were debating with RFK Junior. So now, how does
this new endorsement by RFK Junior, him dropping out of
the race and endorsing Trump impact your vote?

Speaker 20 (01:17:43):
Yeah, so I think for me, originally it was a
toss up between RFK Junior and Trump, but after RFK
Junior dropped out, I think I am ultimately going to
have to vote for just because the disaster that has

(01:18:04):
been wrecked by this current administration and the fact that
there are no policies currently listed on Kamala's website or
that she has even really talked about, has kind of
shown to me that it really is for them all vibes,
no policy.

Speaker 18 (01:18:23):
And housing has.

Speaker 44 (01:18:24):
Become this huge issue. Who knew because if we remember,
they were saying, you know, you'll rent and you'll be happy,
But it turns out young people actually do want to
own their own home. Link talk about that policy. And also,
since you're an influencer, how much of social media emphasis
these candidates should have, how much is that going to

(01:18:45):
actually help them versus the substances.

Speaker 6 (01:18:47):
We've been talking about.

Speaker 45 (01:18:48):
Absolutely Well, first off, it's great to be with you,
bright and early this morning. The one thing I can
say about young voters is we are not monolithic. But
when you look at every single poll, the top concern
for your Americans right now is how can I afford
a home?

Speaker 5 (01:19:03):
How can I keep a roof over my head?

Speaker 45 (01:19:05):
Have equity in an asset like that, in the way
that my parents did and the way that my grandparents
did so. For any politician out there looking to bring
young people into their coalition, it is not rocket science.
Identify their top concerns and then use social media, use
influencers to reach them and show how you're going to
enrich their lives with policies. The one thing I haven't
seen from Kamala Harris yet is how is she going

(01:19:27):
to get any of this passed?

Speaker 5 (01:19:29):
She's promising twenty.

Speaker 45 (01:19:30):
Five thousand to first time homeowners. She has no path
to getting this passed. And Kamala Harris, it's about forty
days without an interview.

Speaker 5 (01:19:37):
She won't answer questions.

Speaker 45 (01:19:38):
If you're not willing to sit down and answer questions
from voters, you really shouldn't be in charge of the
nuclear codes.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
You know what, Maybe they're smarter than we give them
credit for. It sounds like they're onto some of this
stuff all right. Time for the timeline being brought you

I think Kennedy is going to help Donald Trump.

Speaker 16 (01:22:47):
You know, he talks about a lot of those same
kind of populist messages, fighting for working families.

Speaker 6 (01:22:52):
Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise on Fox after Robert F. Kennedy
Junior suspended his own presidential campaign and jumped on the
MAGA Trump train.

Speaker 7 (01:23:02):
He invited me to form a unity government. We agreed
that we'd be able to continue to crediticize each other
on issues on which we don't agree.

Speaker 6 (01:23:12):
He is a Democrat, a leftist Democrat, rfk on Fox
News Sunday, but he teas that more former Democrats would
be joining Trump's now unity government is running mate. Trump's
running made Ohio Senator JD Vance, pushing back on the
Democrat lies that Trump would support a federal ban on abortion.

Speaker 8 (01:23:35):
I think it'd be very clear he would not support it.
Meant yeah, I mean, if you're not supporting it, as
the president of United States, you.

Speaker 6 (01:23:41):
Find you tell a federal abortion ban.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):
I think he would. He said that explicitly that he would.

Speaker 6 (01:23:47):
Yeah, you said Vans on NBC's Meet the Press. Seventy
one days till election Day. What should we expect?

Speaker 10 (01:24:14):

and that is what Kamala Harris is pushing.

Also, look for the inflated Kamala poll numbers to come
back down. Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven forty kt ORH.

Speaker 6 (01:24:36):
Well, maybe a world war would do something. Negotiations for
a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas are still underway and
there's no progress in Cairo this weekend, a lot of
news coverage of it. Although Israeli's launched air strikes on
Hesbel and Lebanon this weekend, they say to stop a
potential mass rocket attack.

Speaker 42 (01:24:59):
We have been concerned about the conflict escalating into an
all out regional war since October seventh.

Speaker 6 (01:25:07):
Of course, no word really from the Commander in chief,
Joe Biden in any of this. That was your National
security advisor, Jake Sullivan. Hesbella apparently launched hundreds of rockets
after the Israeli attack in response, but it didn't really
strike anything. In Germany, terrorists of Islamic State claiming responsibility

(01:25:28):
for the stabbing attacks at a festival that killed three
people injured eight others. The attackers were targeting Christians. It's
now seven oh five. Well, radically liberal leaders of the
city of Austin, you know, the ones who decided to
defund police there, have now proposed a new budget that
would have city tax payers paying for out of state abortions.

Speaker 14 (01:25:55):
This is another example of liberals wasting money on radical proposals.

Speaker 15 (01:25:59):
Pairs in Austin should be furious that the city is
going through with this, and this is maybe one of
the most horrific uses of tax dollars I've ever seen.

Speaker 14 (01:26:07):
Brendan Wilton's with the Texas Scorecards says, thankfully, the state
can likely put a stop to this.

Speaker 15 (01:26:12):
I would imagine that you might see something from the
Attorney General, and I think you'll see something from the
state legislature to strength and laws against this.

Texas Education Agency has some new curriculum to guidelines that
include Foundational Bible references being taught to students so they
understand the founda inction of Western society.

Speaker 16 (01:26:44):
There's been a great deal of blowback from the media
and the left because there are Bible references in it,
and of course one of the references is the Sermon.

Speaker 6 (01:26:57):
On the Mount. Yeah. Sherry Sylvester at the Texas Public
Policy Foundation says, you know, the reason why she brought
that one up, the Sermon on the Mount given by Jesus,
is because a TV station in Austin referred to it
as the Sermon on the Mound. There's just a lack
of knowledge about Western civilization. It is now seven oh seven,

Dog Day?

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
By the way, And I saw this story and that
I always thought we'd always kind of been told. Evan,
we the dog seeing black and white. That's what I
was always told this dogs, you know, year as we
can tell. I'd ask my dog, but I don't think
he's going to give me the answer. You know, what
color of my eyes? Swiper? He wouldn't know, Well, maybe

(01:28:58):
he would know. At least he knows what it looks
like to him. Turns out, and this is the best
they can figure on this that dogs do have red
sensing cones, so their sight is similar to somebody who
has red green color blindness, So they can they can

(01:29:19):
see colors, they just don't see colors the way you
and I see colors. A human with red green color
blindness will mistake one color for another. For example, black
nap be perceived as a dark shade of red, while
bright green could be identified as yellow.

Speaker 6 (01:29:35):
I've had people say my blue eyes were hazel, meaning
kind of greenish brown, because they were red green color blind.
They couldn't see blue.

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
There you go, weird. They think for dogs it's similar.
They have a red green color blindness thing.

Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
They get.

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
They can see colors, they just don't see some colors
the way. Yeah they do. And I'll say you what
mine understands English just fine. He may have been born
in Korea, but he's fluent in treats, swipe er treats. Yeah,
go outside. I mean he knows, he knows what all
those things mean. So they they they may not be

(01:30:12):
able to communicate with us. But while they do not
communicate with us in some ways, don't they.

Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
You know that It's like trying to ask even a person,
a real person, I mean, what does that color look like?
You you know, Yeah, it's like asking, so what does that taste?

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
What taste like? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:30:31):
You know, you can only do comparisons, right, And if
you don't have the comparison exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
The same reason why our taste buds are so different.
Some people like savoring, some people like sweet. You know
some people you know taste garlic in one way, and
I know, for example, I to mean garlic is very strong,
so Elizabeth, she barely taste it.

Speaker 6 (01:30:50):
So neither one of us would be a very good
wine taster.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
Probably not. It all tastes good to me. Seven A
lot of diver traffic and weather together. They can they
see it, but they don't see it as red is
what you and I would consider red. They see it
as a sort of a different, muted version of that color.
Tell the difference. So you can't let your do they.

Speaker 6 (01:31:08):
See shades, They see shades of things rather than colors.

Speaker 4 (01:31:11):
Yeah, you can't let them drive because they can't tell,
you know, whether to stop or go. Although mine's probably
a better driver than most, better than some of the people.
We get on forty five between the belt and the loop.
Here we did clear the vehicle fire a long time ago,

No?

Speaker 22 (01:32:24):
No, definitely not. It's going to be hit or miss
at some point during the day. A lot of folks
are going to be seeing the rain it's not going
to be just hovering around and soaking things, but some
of it could be heavy at times, and therefore we
could see some road ponding. But reading some of the
discussions from the National Weather Service, it looks like significant

(01:32:45):
flooding should not be an issue, and it also looks
like really when the impact starts, it should be towards
the end of rush hour, So that's good news as well.
But we'll see the showers and thunderstorms. We're looking at

The folks at market watch say, who's going to win
the presidential election? The stock market has a prediction. Their
prediction is a sixty four percent asked that Kamala Harris
becomes Friends of the United States because Wall Street is
doing well, and when the party in power or the
administration in power, when this market is doing well, when

(01:36:13):
the election comes up, they generally are the ones they
get elected. Richard rosso joins us a certified financial planner.
I know you put a whole lot more into into
it than that, at least I hope you do. What
do you make of that real Monday story?

Speaker 5 (01:36:28):
It is?

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
It really is. What do you make of that? I mean,
I can understand if everything is going really well, then yeah,
the party in power generally is going to win re election.

Speaker 5 (01:36:38):
But everything is not going really well.

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
Well.

Speaker 46 (01:36:42):
The Wall Street economy the Main Street economy are very
different things. When you go into the Wall Street economy,
you're going into a tunnel that most people are not
familiar with driving through so it's a very different animal.
So Polymarkets, it's a cryptocurrency site, also believes that Kamala
will take the election over Trump. But here's what matters.

Speaker 4 (01:37:06):
Most to markets. It matters most to.

Speaker 46 (01:37:09):
Markets that you have a fixed situation, I mean more
of a diversified situation.

Speaker 4 (01:37:15):
In other words, say Kamala wins.

Speaker 46 (01:37:18):
If Congress remains in gridlock, then the markets will love it.
Markets do not like if it's all Democrat all Republicans.
So what you gotta hope is that you know, even
though you may not like who is for president, that
the market looks at the gridlock situation. But I will
tell you both a lot of industries are worried about both.

(01:37:38):
Both have talked about tariffs. That's an issue that concerns markets, right,
lowering taxes which is great for business, but also in
some cases could be inflationary. So I take all these
kinds of things frankly, with a grain of salt, and
these are all done before the before RFK came into
the picture. So my thought is it's still early and

(01:38:01):
you can't really invest based on these kinds of things.

Speaker 4 (01:38:06):
You know, you dig deeper.

Speaker 46 (01:38:07):
Election years are really great for markets generally speaking.

Speaker 12 (01:38:10):
But frankly, I.

Speaker 46 (01:38:12):
Don't think the market does a very good job at
predicting who's going to win.

Speaker 4 (01:38:15):
The presidents.

Speaker 6 (01:38:15):
Well, Wall Street has done very well it enriching itself.
I mean in the banks they managed, you know, so
they would necessarily really be rooting and therefore betting and
hedging themselves on a continuation of the people who made
them filthy rich. So I mean I get that. And
how much is this predictive and how much of this causative?

(01:38:38):
You know, they're putting out these polls say, oh, the
marcuts do is well, well, you know, give me a break.
It's not what anybody's living.

Speaker 4 (01:38:47):
Exactly.

Speaker 46 (01:38:48):
And the predictive part of it is very iffy science,
if any science at all. So what people do is
they read stuff like this and they get discouraged or
they get scared, and you really just have to bypass it.
I mean, I would tell you the same thing even
if Trump was leading in these polls.

Speaker 4 (01:39:02):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 46 (01:39:04):
I mean, it's eventually going to show that if the
combination results in gridlock, which it does look like at
this point, then the markets will love it. So you've
got to remember how you feel about things in the
real world and how the market feels about things.

Speaker 4 (01:39:20):
It's almost like.

Speaker 46 (01:39:21):
You need two separate brains and you need to shut
one off and turn one on. So don't go ahead
and make a change or make any kind of portfolio
moves based on these kinds of things, because it's going
to change in another month. You might be calling me
and say, hey, look Trump is now leading. These things
are going to bounce back and forth, and you don't
want to do that with money.

Speaker 6 (01:39:41):
Well, the short sellers win either way.

Speaker 3 (01:39:45):
Well, there's always yeah, there's always winners. All right, Richard Rosso,

Well, good morning, Jimmy.

Speaker 25 (01:39:57):
It's looking like we're kicking off this Monday with a
small bump. I are building on Friday's rally. Federal Reserve
Chair Jpell made a crystal clear that interest rate cuts
are on the way next month.

Speaker 23 (01:40:06):
The Dow future is up fifty five points.

Speaker 25 (01:40:08):
Texas base McKesson is said to be in advanced talks
to buy controlling stake in Florida Cancer Specialists and Research Institute,
which is a privately held operator of oncology clinics and can.

Speaker 23 (01:40:20):
You believe Labor Day is next week?

Speaker 25 (01:40:21):
Speaking of work, seems lots of Americans are looking to
make a change when it comes to their job. According
to a survey from bank Rate, nearly half of Americans say.

Speaker 23 (01:40:29):
They'll probably look for a new position in the next year.

It's seven thirty two on news radio seven forty KTRH
our top story this hour. More violent crime here this weekend.
Man shot and killed outside a pool party at a
Northeast Houston airbnb in southwest US and a man shot
at a food truck over twenty bucks HBD looking for
three people in that attack. According to Democrats, the mainstream

(01:42:37):
media crime is going down under the Biden Harris regime.
In reality, it's getting worse.

Speaker 27 (01:42:44):
Public has lost faith in the police in terms of
being able to solve crime, so they don't report them.
And you have the major cities not reporting anything to
the FBI because they don't want their crime rates to
be public knowledge.

Speaker 6 (01:42:57):
Yeah, we're just getting gas lit. As Mike McDaniel of
The American Thinker's now seven thirty three, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton,
he's calling out the Harris record, her personal record while
she was vice president and even before.

Speaker 28 (01:43:14):
For four years when Donald Trump was president, we had
peace and prosperity. Everything's gone to hell under Joe Biden
Kamala Harris over the last four years.

Speaker 6 (01:43:22):
Cotton on ABC thirty six days since the Democrat coup
of Joe Biden. We still have had no news conferences
or interviews with his replacement, Harris. She did say she
would schedule an interview before the end of August.

Speaker 34 (01:43:36):
But is that joint interview happening this week on that
bustour in Georgia.

Speaker 5 (01:43:41):
You know, I don't know the answer to that question.

Speaker 6 (01:43:45):
God of the Month's running out, isn't it? Harris advisor
Mitch Landrew on MSNBC. Outside the political bubble, American families
know what life is like. They're suffering because the regulatory
bureaucracy of the Biden Harris regime right now. It's not
only killing small business. The average costs to each family

(01:44:06):
forty seven thousand dollars.

Speaker 31 (01:44:08):
There's just a number of things that they've been that
they've increased regulations on and it's now costing Americans a
substantial amount. And that's on top of the increases in
the national debt and the higher interest rates, the inflation
that's going on.

Speaker 6 (01:44:23):
Businesses have to pass on the cost you see economists
fan skin. He says, the government line is that the
country is not really in a recession, but that's not
what Americans feel. Regime forgiveness of student loans is just
starting an endless cycle now of students who borrow on
other things once they are forgiven their debt.

Speaker 30 (01:44:47):
A study of borrowers who had their student loans forgiven
finds they have since added more debt from credit cards,
auto loans, and home loans, and their credit scores failed
to improve. Financial strategist Mitch Kramer says giving borrowers an
easy way out only encourages more borrowing.

Speaker 32 (01:45:01):
Look at anybody in life has had tremendous adversity. There's
been a growth experience on the other side of it.
If you don't reward people for paying back debt, you're
basically condoning behavior for them to be financially irresponsible.

Speaker 30 (01:45:12):
Despite Biden's forgiveness of more than a billion in student debt,
in America's total household debt burden has risen to an
all time high. Coriolson, Who's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:45:22):
Harris County Democrats. It doesn't stop them. They're still trying
to give their Guaranteed Income Program uplift Haris. You know
it got shot down by the Texas Supreme Court. They're
trying to do a workaround on it. There's only one
Republican on the Commissioner's Court who's voted against it. So
Holly Hanson with the Texas says, well, they're going to

(01:45:43):
work every way they can the Democrats to bring it back.

Speaker 33 (01:45:48):
The county has not yet released a lot of details.
They are in the process of relaunching programs. Whether or
not it will stand up to legal scrutiny this time
remains to be seen. We have not yet heard from
the Attorney General's office.

Speaker 6 (01:46:03):
That is, she says that case may ultimately have to
be decided at the US Supreme Court, so look for
more trials. Seven thirty six is our time. Israel, they
struck at the Iran back terror group Hezbola over the weekend.

Speaker 34 (01:46:20):
Amid the continued escalation and tensions. Wondering if there would
be an Iranian attack or an attack by Iranian proxies.
We've heard from these Raeli military and recent weeks that
they would be preparing to defend the country and then
strike back. Well, quite the opposite taking place, with Israel
taking out this preemptive attack around five am, deploying one
hundred fighter jets to hit forty Hesbela launch sites in

(01:46:43):
southern Lebanon and destroy thousands of Hesbela rocket launcher barrels now.
According to Israeli intelligence, Hesbela was within minutes of launching
a wider attack.

Speaker 6 (01:46:53):
Fox's Alex Hogan Defense Department is deploying the USS Abraham
Lincoln to the Mediterranean because of this tension, don't you know,
just before the election. US Navy though, may have to
sideline seventeen different support ships to that deployment for lack
of sailors in personnel recruitment hurts in Texas. It's been

(01:47:14):
a scorcher of a month that Urkott hasn't asked us
really for emergency conservation. They've hardened the grid and it
seems to be working for now. Ed Herzo says, well,
don't get too comfortable.

Speaker 12 (01:47:26):
Not yet. We're still on the hook really or exposed
to this heat really until what third or fourth week
of September.

Speaker 6 (01:47:37):
Kurz of Ua, she says, urkott policy of sidelining gas
powered plans to only be used some of them as
emergency contingencies failed miserably, even as recently as last spring.
That contingency model has now been dropped. But don't forget
we need energy demands going to continue to escalate, as
will the weather. Twenty one thousand Hawaiians without power this morning,

the stance on ride to the US mail will fail

Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
Two seven thirty nine is at a time here in
Houston's born US and I say sposal service announcing late
last week that it may have to slow down delivery
times to some customers as it seeks to shave billions
from its annual operations expenditures. You know, the US mail
already feels like the Pony Express compared to modern technology, right,

(01:49:38):
waiting two to five days to get something in the mail,
when most of us, you know, unless you're most of
us are used to, you know, instant gratification when it
comes to that, certainly when it comes to bill paying
that kind of stuff. Those of us who do all
that stuff online, now you know you can. You can
get your build the moment it's available in an email,
and then you can pay it the moment you get
it online with your checking account. So it's not like

(01:50:00):
the old days. Kids, way back in the day, you
know what used to happen. They'd send you a bill
in the mail, you'd get it, you'd write out a check,
you'd put in an envelope with a stamp on it,
and you'd mail it back and the process would take
two to three days for you to get the bill.

(01:50:21):
And then two to three more days for them to
get your payment. So you know you're talking about a
week nowhere to be taken out of your bank again,
right exactly you know these days is almost instantaneous. The
change evidently is meant to Here's what they're saying is
they're trying to improve the service. If you are lucky
enough to win live within fifty miles of a postal facility,

(01:50:42):
then the new plan is supposed to improve your delivery time.
Instead of two to five days, you should be getting
it within two days. It's the rural customers, ironically, who
will have to wait the longest to get their mail.
You could see an increase right now, the average Royal
customer gets their mail within three days. It may be
closer to the five days now.

Speaker 6 (01:51:03):
It seems to me that the world's already four days.

Speaker 10 (01:51:05):
I can tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
It seems to be the rural people would probably be
more inclined to rely on the USPS than people living
in the city or Am I wrong about that?

Speaker 4 (01:51:15):
No, you're right.

Speaker 6 (01:51:16):
The problem is they don't process it in small towns.
They don't have the equipment, they don't have the personnel exactly,
So like Kallasville, for instance, you mail something in Hallisville,
it goes to Corpus Christi to be processed and then
sent to either Austin or Houston or Dallas or whatever.
So if I get a bill out of Hallatsville, I
may not get it for five days, seven days, I

(01:51:37):
may not get it at all.

Speaker 3 (01:51:38):
Or you may send something to a company in Hollittsville. Yeah,
and they're still waiting just as long as they have
to go to Corpus Christy first.

Speaker 6 (01:51:43):
Easier just to go pay it in person, exactly the
old fashioned way. But you know, what's the point of
the post office.

Speaker 3 (01:51:49):
Yeah, well that's been my point for quite some time.
I don't quite understand why we're still trying to run
a post office a business model. The way it's been
run for the last one hundred years doesn't make much
sense anymore. Time for traffic and weather together, Let's check
out the drive again. Here's guy Mike clear the golf freeway.

Speaker 4 (01:52:03):
That was the wreck right in front of the old
dot coffee shot northbound Gulf Kate. We're still packed up
from Edgebrook. In spots, it's kind of stopping and going
and then you'll release for a little bit, and either
way you lose about eight minutes on the inbound side.
You've got two twenty five hard hats.

Speaker 21 (01:52:19):
Talk to me my eastbound around the good Year.

Speaker 32 (01:52:22):
As the eighteen wheeler off of the caterer into a
refinery pick back up all the way up the east
of Candle Bridge.

Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
I see that pack up from the loop, and of
course it is connected like your NEBOE do that back
up from the bridge. So you lose about ten minutes
on the southbound here, but don't do the toll bridge.
Toll bridge is rough fourteen extra minutes on the southbound
east tax at lad inbound. Some kind of big giant
oversized load thingham a bob that's taking up two right lanes.
We're backed up from the belt. The problem is if

(01:52:51):
you do the belt then you'll get caught in that
scootch at Alde Westfield westbound because that's roadwork. We're missing
two left lanes here. Oh, this will be a good
time to be a bigot and get on that hearty
toll road. We're starting to get two nine eyed up
all so right inside Highway six. I'm Skymike in the
classic Elite GMC traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
From r KTRH Generator super Center twenty four hour Weather
Center time to check out the forecast. Looks like we've
got maybe partly cloudy skies in the city right now,
but I guess we're gonna see some more clouds roll in, Jeff.

Speaker 5 (01:53:19):
As the day rolls on, the clouds will start to
come in.

Speaker 22 (01:53:22):
We'll still see the sun mixing in because we're just
not going to get a full wash out coverage of
rain here. But in the next hour and a half
or so, we may see towards the southern part of
the city some of the initial rain coming in, but
even then it'll be kind of hit or miss. It'll
come and go throughout the day. We are going to
see the rain, we'll hear some thunder and as a

(01:53:43):
matter of fact, there could be some spots of heavy
rain in some areas. Nothing like widespread flooding that we
have seen, but maybe some road ponding. Will hit the
low nineties today, heat index around one oh one. Tonight,
slight chance for showers and thunderstorms late night, overnight low
in the upper seventies, Partly cloudie skies. We're mostly sunny tomorrow.
Later in the morning, once again, showers and thunderstorms will

(01:54:05):
be arriving as we hit the low nineties, and then
we've got more rain Wednesday and that sticks around, it
looks like through the rest of the work week and
even into the weekend. And talking about the power outages
in Hawaii, it's a one two punch. We've got Hurricane
Gilma that's lined up and ready to go to the
northern part of the islands. As this hone went south,
it goes north, so they're not out of the woods

just yet.

This is Houston's morning News, brought to you by New

Speaker 3 (01:54:41):
Senator Ron Johnson says, if you are buying into the
idea of conspiracy theories revolving around the attempted assassination of
DONALDRE Trump, he does not blame you in the least
because the FBI has done absolutely nothing to dissuade us
that there isn't some sort of a conspiracy work here more.
That's story coming up next. First, we've got traffic and

(01:55:02):
weather together as we check out the drive once again,
a sky Maine right.

Speaker 4 (01:55:05):
This is some kind of big truck accident southbound on
the East Texit Water. We'll take a call at two
right lanes. We're backed up from the Beltway and if
you try to get on the North Samuel get stuck
in that junket Alding Westfield. So your best bet is
to do the Hearty toll road get around that go freeway.
We're still squished up awfully from Edgebrook up to the
earlier wreck at Griggs. It's clear to twenty five. It's

(01:55:27):
physically it looks like they've cleared that eighteen wheeler. They're
still holding that wreck at Alan Genoa outbound to twenty five.
It's not only messing up to twenty five from the loop,
it's also squishing up the loop southbound the ship Channel bridge.
You're losing about eight minutes. I'm skylike and the classic

Senator Ron Johnson the Republic from Wisconsin on Fox I
think was in there Friday or Saturday and they were
asking himout how things are going into the investigation into
what happened in Baker Pennsylvanian to the Trump assassination of Debt.
And here he is letting you know just how much
cooperation they've been getting from the FBI.

Speaker 5 (01:57:16):
I'm part of the.

Speaker 39 (01:57:17):
Senate Bypier is an investigation. It's led by the chairman
of the committee and the subcommittee. All I can really
tell you is the SI Service f FBI are basically
dragging their feet.

Speaker 5 (01:57:28):
They're still walling us.

Speaker 39 (01:57:29):
And we've gotten some transcribed interviews, but the documents we
request are heavily redacted. They're delivered the day of the
investor or the interview, so we really can't use the
documents to conduct the interviews effectively. So we're not getting
squad from my standpoint, from the Secret Service or the FBI.
We've requested all their their three oh two's, their their
transcriptions of their interviews with hundreds of individuals. They're not

(01:57:52):
turning those over to us as well. So, Marie, if
if you were if you want to design investigation to
raise suspicions and drive conspiracy theories, this is exactly how
you do that investigation. I mean, I was, you know,
just jaw dropping that they release the body for cremation
before anybody's seen any autopsy or toxicology reports. Again, that's
again it's just driving suspicion and conspiracy theories.

Speaker 5 (01:58:15):
Well, again, they are the law.

Speaker 39 (01:58:16):
They hold themselves above the law. They don't really think
that they're responsible to becoming under scrutiny by.

Speaker 5 (01:58:21):
Congress and the American public. And so this is how
they behave.

Speaker 39 (01:58:25):
They're the only ones that are going to have access
to this information until they decide what information to give
us and when to give it to us.

Speaker 5 (01:58:33):
They're they're in total control. Do you say, cover up?

Speaker 6 (01:58:37):
Yeah, while they're still investigating J six insurrection, that's right.
And meeting with a big platform people to censor speech yeah,
big platform, yeah right, big tech yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:58:49):
Right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:58:50):
And they wonder why do you think Americans don't see
this yet?

Speaker 3 (01:58:54):
I would like to think that we all see it.
Even those that there are maybe you know, fairly passive
as far as they're interested in the news. I would
like to think that they're seeing all this.

Speaker 6 (01:59:02):
There's a lot of people who are passive because they
just don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:59:05):
Well, so what that does a long it doesn't impact them.

Speaker 47 (01:59:07):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:59:08):
Well, here's the thing. If the country.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
If the country keeps going out on the roads going,
we will all be impacted in a negative way, whether
you realize that or not. I mean this is it's
not you know, going from a capitalist society to a
socialist society, or perhaps even worse at some point. That
impacts everybody.

Speaker 6 (01:59:26):
In a bad way.

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
Yeah, not in a good way, exactly right, y'all have
a great day. We'll see you tomorrow morning bright nearly
