head To Governor Greg appott's. Desk I'm Cliff saunders On houston's,
news weather and traffic station News radio seven forty K.
Trh now back To Jimmy barrett and The Houston Morning News.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Team Houston's Morning. News, hi how is Your how's YOUR fighto?
Score first of, all let's start with this FIVE o
Eight here In Houston's Morning. News do you know what
A fico score? IS i, know you, know do your
kids know what A fico score? IS i don't think
your average twenty something knows a whole lot ABOUT fico

(07:43):
scores unless they have applied for a home loan or
something like, that or maybe maybe for a car, loan
and they even then they may not use the term
OR i have heard the TERM. Fico Fight THE fighto
score is basically a it's well in the case there's
there's more than one. Score you can get a score on,
experience you can get one on you, know there's there's

(08:06):
several different several different types that you can get. Here
and most, PEOPLE i think a average person probably doesn't
know what THEIR fighto score, is and they range anywhere
from usually the four, hundreds which is really, bad up
to eight, fifty which is a PERFECT fighto.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Score pretty rare to have an eight to fifty.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Really anything above anything in that you, know upper seven
hundreds and above is considered excellent. Credit so you, know
it's just having an eight hundred or an eight forty
one credit score doesn't really make that. Much, well it
doesn't make any difference when you get right down to
it's just bragging points at that. Point the reason WHY
i mentioned all this is evidently the Average AMERICAN fighto
score you're interested in this seven fifteen is the average

(08:48):
seven hundred and fifteen is lower by several points over
what it was a year, ago and lower still over
what it was the year before. That and evidently what
is driving down THESE fico scores around the country is generally,
speaking student. Loans people who have not been repaying their student,
loans they've fallen behind on, them credit scores dipping as a.

(09:11):
Result The AVERARD fico score seven to fifteen In, april
down From, january down from two points a year. Ago
the rise is because of ninety plus day delinquencies in
the last six. Months the share of consumers in the
delinquent category owing something for ninety plus days eight point
three percent In. February that's up from seven point four

(09:31):
percent In, january twelve percent relative, rise and the first
time this figure surpassed the pre Pandemic january twenty twenty
level of eight point one. Percent much of it because
of the federal student loan delinquencies being reported on credit
files for the first time Since march of twenty. Twenty
do you remember when they stopped doing, that when The
bide administration stopped reporting delinquencies on you, know and put

(09:55):
a whole freeze on the whole student loan. Thing, well
now we're back to. Normal and now who have not
been paying other student loans and have not resumed paying
even though they were giving a whole year to ramp
up on repaying those. Loans now that's having an impact
on the AVERAGE fyco. Score, now some fifteen's not that,
bad but it's you, know going in the wrong. Direction

(10:17):
five point. Ten here On Houston's Warning News, Sky mike
says that he has a GREAT fico.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
SCORE i don't know the actual. Number, here fire off my, Music.

All right we, all have it and some of us
have been. Tested for, it no no not. For, criminal
proceedings no nobody's ever asked me to give. A buckle,
swab COME on, but I have and i probably did
the wrong thing. BY doing it i did go to twenty,
three And me so i'm a twenty three and meters

(28:46):
client who maybe has to be concerned about who eventually
could get their HANDS. ON my dna i DID it
because i was just.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
Kind of.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Curious you know my mom had always said That, we
were french and something told me We, really warn't, french and.
SURE sure, Enough i mean I'm, Like most americans, i'm
a mutt but thanks TO getting, THE dna testing I
know that i am about Twenty, five percent irish Twenty,
six percent scandinavian and a whole bunch. Of other stuff

(29:17):
so the two Big things Were. Irish and scandinavian so,
Having blue EYES i'm thinking I might be i Might
be a viking because you Think, about, the Vikings right
the vikings Started, off in scandinavia but if they kind
of pillaged their way all the Way, through northern europe so,
that may, BE you know i may be More even
MORE scandinavian than i. Thought it was, At Any. Rate

(29:40):
James Comer representative james comer is a little bit worried
about the bankruptcy of twenty three and meters because he
doesn't necessarily trust who they MIGHT sell that. Dna information
too Here's Representative. OF james commer i.

Speaker 34 (29:54):
Fear the Worst we know china has a reputation for stealing,
our intellectual properties, stealing our patent in. Stealing our data
data like this that twenty three and me possess could
be very harmful to A. Lot of americans you Think
about what china could do with that WITH their. Advance
ai technology they could sell the data. To insurance companies

(30:14):
they could sell the data to people Wanting to blackmail
americans that were customers of twenty. THREE and, me i
mean the potential list of crimes that could Be committed
by china or any other country or even a Bad
actor in. America is endless so we want to make
sure that twenty three and me are complying with protecting

(30:37):
the privacy and protecting the data to their customers through.
This bankruptcy court and that's why we're going to bring
in executives and have.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Them under oath.

Speaker 34 (30:46):
And we strongly encourage people who have used Twenty three
and me to go in if they can and delete
all their data. On that platform the data that Twenty
three and me possessed is worth more than, the company
probably and it's worth a lot to bad actors. Around
the world so this is a. VERY serious investigation i
think everyone that you used twenty three and me should

(31:07):
should take this very seriously and do everything in their
ability to try to get in and. Delete that data
but we want to make sure that nothing's already happened,
with that data and that nothing happens throughout.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
The bankruptcy process how in the world do you get
in there? To DELETE it though i have no idea
five forty time for traffic and weather together as we

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah we have a listener blower on the. Phone right
now Her Name. Is vanessa sivage she used To Work At.
Texas children's hospital she. Does it anymore she got fired
because she has made the ALLEGATION and the feds are
backing it UP with the doj investigation that the hospital
was unlawfully Billing the state medicaid program for, child gender

(36:28):
modification so using taxpayer dollars or attempting to use taxpayer
dollars to, child gender modification which they're no longer supposed.

Speaker 23 (36:37):
To.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Be doing nice so welcome. To our show thank you.
For joining us we sure. Do appreciate it how long
did You Work At? Texas, children's hospital.

Speaker 11 (36:45):
Yeah thank you so much. FOR having me I worked
At As the children's hospital for the, last SIX years
and i just want to. Correct the Record it's The
Health And human Services Office. For civil rights they have
launched an Investigation And Into texas children's hospital for terminating
my employment as A nurse because i was exercising my

(37:08):
federally protected rights OF conscience when i came forward to
REVEAL how first i came forward to reveal how the
hospital was harming children irreversibly in. Their gender program and
then A year later i came forward publicly as a
whistleblower to reveal what, you just mentioned that the hospital

(37:28):
was not only providing these, services to kids but also
using taxpayer dollars. To do IT and so i just
first thank you, because you KNOW back when i Was,
FIRED last august i think you guys had ME on
and i shared my story THEN and today i am
so relieved and so happy to kind of have this
next step very.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Clearly in writing so you've got the federal government helping
you in procurement of getting, your job back or do
you want? Your job back? At this point would you
want to go?

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Back? To, work there.

Speaker 11 (38:01):
NO ABSOLUTELY not i i DIDN'T Think so i, but but,
regardless you know this is a step in, the right
direction not, just for me but for whistleblowers. Throughout, the
country well.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
It's a chance it's a chance to.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Have yourself vindicated it's also a chance for you to
rightfully be paid for, the you know for, being fired,
illegally because, whistleblowers you know the act of whistleblowing is
not supposed to be. A FIREABULE offense and i think
THE good news, I you know i kind of jump jump
the gun here with the Idea that The department of justice.
May get involved but if it turns out that they
were fraudulently billing and and the taxpayers we were paying

(38:40):
for something they shouldn't have had, to pay for my
guess is at SOME point the dj probably.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Will, get, INVOLVED.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Well well i.

Speaker 11 (38:48):
Certainly hope so, and and look it's not, just about
me because WHAT the what ahhs effectively did when they
released this this statement two days ago was they've launched
a new one online portal where whistleblowers can submit a
tip or complaint in regarding specifically the chemical and surgical.
Mutilation of, children, so instead essentially we have a government

(39:10):
and an administration who is now recognizing the valuable contributions
that whistleblowers bring. To the table, AND you know i,
think you remember like me that the previous administration waged
war and prosecuted people who were just trying to push
back against the harm happening to kids. And the lives

(39:31):
and now we have government agencies who are wielding their
resources and their power to reward righteousness ultimately and. To
punish lawlessness and so we're seeing a huge CHANGE here
and i couldn't.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Be more thrilled it sounds like The Very Least texas
tlvi's hospital got very used to the previous administration looking
the other way and knew that they would not be
prosecuted or even questioned about what it was that. They
were doing what they have failed to realize the is
that that administration is no longer in power and therefore
go to at some, point in time all this catches,

(40:06):
up With.

Speaker 11 (40:06):
You right, AND you know i always say that sunlight is,
the best disinfectant and now we have an administration that's just.
Enforcing federal law. It's it's there it's very basic where
they're just enforcing the laws currently. On the, books they're,
saying you know whistleblowers are valuable and we need to.

(40:29):
Incentivize those people we need to not retaliate. Against those,
People all right but that's.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
The well continued good luck with. WITH your case i
hope it turns out exactly the way you, want it
to and thank you for. What you've done That Is Whistleblower,

I'm assuming that's where the. Name came from.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
The team accused of fatally stabbing, another high, Schooler White
kid carmelo anthony's.

Speaker 5 (48:30):
A black kid.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
It's kind of, been portrayed, like you know we have
you have to lower the lower of the, bond because,
well you. Know we can't we can't afford, the other bond.
You know it he's kind of been portrayed as a
little on, the disadvantage side just so you know he's
they're not disadvantaged by. The stretch imagination they live in
a nine hundred thousand dollars home inside. A Gated community

(48:57):
h he is holed up with his family at this Pricey, House. In,
RISCO texas now i don't know if they own the
house or there, running the house or what, the story
is but if they're, running the house you better believe
they're paying more than thirty five hundred. DOLLARS a month
i don't know what the family does. FOR a living.
I don't know you know that they've raised hundreds of
thousands of dollars for, his legal defense not, to say,

(49:19):
that you know anybody can afford some of the legal
bills that are likely to. Come from this but they
reduced bond to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars at
least in part, because you know it was going to
be a burden. On, the family oh, by the oh
they just bought a brand new luxury. Automobile as well
they had three cars. In the driveway One had a,
texas you, know paper tag so that one was just
purchased with an Expiration date of. June The fourth so

is you know was not going to get any sort
of a fair deal or somehow he's living somewhere where
it's dangerous, for him, to you know to be, out

next update is at six thirty the free set that.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Sets the record street this just made my. Whole Day
More efficient one News, radio seven changrh Well some of
these democrat judges have, been judge? And jury haven't. THEY
they sure have i mean you, think of the guy
the federal judge Trying to reverse, the trump deportation flights
who's now holding them or threatening to hold them in

(54:29):
contempt of court for not. Turning those PLANES around, that's
just i mean. That's just one, example as they said
seventy five percent of the judges Hearing Legal challenges to
president trump's executive orders and Other policy. Actions WERE democrat
appointees but i think the things changed over time is
just how. Partisan Judges have, become john solomon joins us
Editor in Chief. At just the news i'm old, Enough,

(54:51):
to remember time john where you didn't necessarily know that
The judge was A democrat or a republican because they
didn't they didn't make these. Kinds of partisan rules they've ruled. Based,
on the law.

Speaker 38 (55:02):
Yeah that's exactly right and also we had judges who
didn't look at the political affiliation of the. Defendant or
the plaintiffs they simply. Look at the evidence but today that's.
No longer the case and we've seen a decade of this.
Sort of building up IT started with The Fbi, and
the justice department but today that same politicalization, is in
the courts and it's facilitated a little bit in the

(55:25):
way that the lawyers Seeking to sue the trump administration.
Go about their business this new statistic that came out
of a university legal policy research unit showed the three
quarters of the Judges you've, gotten the trump Lawsuits the
lawsuits challenging trump's executive powers Have. Been appointed by democrats

(55:45):
that's kind of unusual because there's about a fifty to
fifty split in the judiciary when you. Look across all
judges so? How, does that happen well judges, are on
a wheel so the next person up. Gets the next
case and what you see and what this statistic really
show is that there is judge shopping and, venue shopping
going on meaning that lawyers wait and file in a

(56:06):
specific city, at a specific time hoping To get the
best democrat leaning judge or the most favorable. Policy JUDGE
for themselves and i think that that's another part of
the system that's beginning. To be get rigged and so
you have, venue in judge shopping and then that begins
a process That fills the most americans like is very,

(56:26):
partisan AND very crooked and i think there will be
a Lot of reforms that congress will be considering when
they get back from the easter. Break to address this
perhaps the first is stopping single judges from being able.
To impose nationwide injunctions they're going. To limit these Judges
at least the house plans to limit these judges to
injunctions that only apply to the plaintiffs in their case

(56:48):
and only to the geographic district that they serve. In
on the bench and so this is going to. Lead
to some, REFORM but the statistic i think is a
good picture of the. Symptom, that we're seeing.

Speaker 5 (57:01):
Well we hope.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
It leads, to reform you, Know first of all, congress
has to act and that's easier said, than done these
days getting them.

Speaker 5 (57:08):
To actually do.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Something that's number one but the number two thing comes,
to me, is, that you know again these judges don't
Seem to have any they don't care right that their
decisions are likely on appeal are going to get overturned
or at least by the time It Gets. To the
supreme court and they probably, know that in, advance most
Of them don't they they they're just part.

Speaker 5 (57:29):
Of, the delay tactic yeah it.

Speaker 38 (57:32):
Could very well Be Let's, just take judge bosberg perhaps,
the most famous touch a guy Who Was on the
vice court. For a long time the chief judge of
the pis a court for two very critical Years right
after the russia. Collusion story, blew up of course there
are a lot of abuses in the fis of reform.
System during that time he's the judge that gave a
slap on THE hand to the fbi lawyer who admitted

(57:52):
that he had doctor In evidence in, the russia collusion
case didn't, send him to prison really gave him a
tap on. The hand for punishment he then comes up
on the wheel and he gets to be the judge.
In the deportation case and you have Plaintiffs, that are
from texas and he should. Never take this case the
case Is filed In. The district of columbia there's no

(58:14):
geographic or legal connection To. The district of columbia. He
takes the case he rules in favor of The, plaintiff
and against trump and in violation of A Nineteen Forty
eight us supreme Court Decision that said president trump, would
have such powers and there's very little judicial review except for.
A habeas corpus. Petition He Gets reversed the supreme court

(58:36):
two weeks ago, reverses, him and says one you had
no right. To take the Case, it belonged to Texas,
NOT in, the washington, dc area and two you didn't
pay attention to our nineteen. Forty, eight were ruling really
so he gets reversed on, both accounties slapped down, and
yesterday he Resurfaces Even though the supreme courts told him
you shouldn't have, this case at all he starts Content proceedings.

Speaker 5 (58:57):
Against the.

Speaker 38 (58:57):
Trump administration pretty remarkable tells you a lot about what
these judges, are doing and thinking.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
It's just it's amazing it's flabbergasting to me that do
you have federal judges who are basically giving The Finger
To The. United states supreme COURT that is just i.
Can't get over. That there's, just crazy.

Speaker 38 (59:15):
Pretty remarkable but it does seem to be the way
the system. Is tilting right now something large is going.
To Have to do the house is already passed by the.
Station To Address this senator chuck grassey's taking It.

Speaker 5 (59:26):

Rh houston's Morning News continues with jimmy barrett.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
Six Thirty Eight Year. On, Houston's Morning, NEWS right jay
powell i think is. Forgetting his dual mandate he is
out there making, a commentary on tariffs something he didn't,
need to, speak about you know expressing concern over what that,
might do, to inflation you know kind of poopooing the
two point four percent annualized inflation rate they came out

(01:07:41):
This Last. Month FOR president trump and i think it's
got a little. To do, With payback you know trump
is not A Big. Fan of jay Powell he was Appoint,
he appointed j powell but he also said he. Wanted
TO fire him and I Think this is jerome poll's
way of trying to, sort of fight, back if you will.
Maybe a little payback he. Certainly Tank the dow the

(01:08:02):
dow went down like five hundred plus points right away after.
He made Those Comments here are Liz Peak. Along with
liz peak here we also have who's On This? Cup,
With liz peak here, hang on a second Let Me
find the liz peak is on here with? What, My
Name is anyway liz peak will Start With, her and
steve forbes that's who else is On here talking about

(01:08:24):
jay poll.

Speaker 5 (01:08:24):
AND what He's Doing, i, think.

Speaker 39 (01:08:26):
Jay powell unfortunately really does become more and, more A
political actor and i think THAT'S really unfortunate because i
don't think in the, beginning OF his term after I,
was appointed by trump that he really. Came Across that
way but trump's gone after HIM enough times that i
think he's made him, kind OF an Enemy and i don't,
it seems to me if you're really concerned about the

(01:08:46):
damage that the tariffs, are going to do this would
be a time to. Be lowering interest rates but he
has obviously made it very clear that that is. Not
on the agenda and of course we've had some pretty strong,
numbers on sales today retail, sales and also employment so
there isn't much argument.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
For moving either way but somehow you.

Speaker 39 (01:09:05):
Just know he is not Prepared, to STEP in larry
and i think an awful lot of people.

Speaker 19 (01:09:10):
Think, that's a, mistake well he knows First Of all
that donald trump is not going to.

Speaker 21 (01:09:15):
Reappoint him next year already, looking for his successor and
so he's. Getting his licks now but The Thing about THE.
Federal reserve and j powell talking about the tariff's he
doesn't make the distinction between monetary. And non monetary inflation,
if Tariffs raised prices the fed.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Can't, do anything about.

Speaker 21 (01:09:33):
That manipulating, interest rates so, stick as you say to what,
they know monetary policy and that is the dollar's shaky

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
Down the federal Funding Here. IS the transportation secretary i.

Speaker 4 (01:24:50):
Love high speed rail we Don't.

Speaker 41 (01:24:51):
Have one in america, and by the way we saved
what was at the start Sixty million. In this texas
project it would have been ten to twenty billion. Dollars
of taxpayer money but the private sectors come in now
and said they want. To, Build the project right so
private sector money is what. Should make these investments but
what You're, talking about in california it was Supposed to
Go From. La to san francisco there are seventeen. Years

(01:25:11):
into the project they've spent about Sixteen billion dollars and
stewart there's not one track that's been.

Speaker 3 (01:25:17):
Laid for this project so we're.

Speaker 41 (01:25:20):
Under review right now in the next, two or three
weeks we're going to come out with our findings and
if again what many people have, reported on is true
we're going to pull the funding. For this boondogle endeavor
people have gotten rich toward a lot of people have
bought land and have sold, that to the project made. A,
lot of money again it's really hard to. Spend sixteen

(01:25:40):
billion dollars they've done it and have. Delivered nothing for
it so let's sort Of find projects in america where
we can, build high speed rail but do it efficiently
and bringing the private sector, to make those.

Speaker 9 (01:25:49):
Investments not the taxpayer this is.

Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
How politicians get rich they, know ahead of time you
know where the land is going. To have to be,
they buy up land and then they turn around and sell,
them and you know to the people who are trying
to in this case build a. High speed bullet train,
and everybody's you know past billions of. Dollars being passed
around not one bit of track has been late in

(01:26:14):
either case at. This point, in time you know do
we trust the government?

Speaker 10 (01:26:18):
To?

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
Build, these things not really it needs to be done
by the private sector if. IT'S going to happen i
wouldn't mind a high Speed bullet Train. Between houston and
dallas that'd be kind of fun to be able to
get up there so. Fast and, get back but again
it's got to be, done with private money at Least as.

It makes sure that if, you register to vote you
have to provide a documented proof THAT you. Are a
us citizen that's really their big, Hang up.

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
Right now so that must mean that they're saying that
illegal immigrants did vote in the last election when. THEY
were in charge i.

Speaker 5 (01:31:52):
Don't want, to see that though although.

Speaker 29 (01:31:55):
THAT'S exactly, what happened i mean, at the very least
we know that thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants have
shown up on some very dirty voter, rolls across the
country including in the swing. States in, this country but
yeah that's that's really. What the confession is they have
been not saying.

Speaker 5 (01:32:16):
That.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
Part out loud okay so their problem is the problem they,
always seem to have which, is being you KNOW, having
TO show id proper id in order to be able,
to register, to vote, which we, of course you know
we've had. THIS argument for years i don't know how
we how do they how do they, answer, the argument
that well you HAVE to have an id, to drive

(01:32:38):
a car you HAVE to have an. Id to buy
alcohol how do they? Answer those obvious questions why is
IT okay to have IDs.

Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
For that but NOT to have?

Speaker 36 (01:32:45):
An id for, Voting, because you see jimmy it's so
difficult for SOMEONE to get. An id out there that's,
what they keep pushing and it's. Just lie after lime
the vast vast majority don't HAVE. Problems Getting An eye
the save act offers provisions if you HAVE trouble getting
an id TO.

Speaker 29 (01:33:05):
Secure an appropriate. Id, but see that ultimately what we're
talking About Here is a democratic party that really does
want non citizens to.

Speaker 5 (01:33:17):
Vote in our elections and that's the.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
Real, big hang up well the thing that's kind of
funny to me about that is they're making an assumption
that all of these illegal immigrants are going, to vote
for them when the reality is is that we have
seen A big turnaround In republican. Support AMONGST hispanic population
and i don't know if we've specifically taken a look,
at legal Versus illegal but the Trump's numbers of the

(01:33:40):
republican numbers for for minorities have never been hired than.

Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Where, they are now yeah. No doubt about it we
come back to bite.

Speaker 29 (01:33:47):
Them in the cheeks and the bigger problem is is
that The, vast majority of americans, according to THE. Polling
support voter id they support non citizens not being able.
To vote in elections that should Be. Pretty clear to
democrats they. Didn't get, The memo Last Week only four

World Events National headlines Houston's Morning, news with jimmy barrett.

Speaker 3 (01:42:26):
Seven Thirty eight Hour Time Here. On houston's born news
this is The kind of headline i'll.

Speaker 5 (01:42:30):
Make you go crap? What IS going on but i have.

Speaker 3 (01:42:35):
A theory on this i, can't PROVE my theory but. I,
have a theory. ANYWAY Here's The Headline Hisd houston independent
school district has a one hundred and thirty three percent. INCREASE,
in firearms possessions whoa, that's a big number one hundred. And,
thirty three percent meanwhile disciplinary action is. Down by, twenty percent.

Speaker 5 (01:43:02):
Hang on.

Speaker 3 (01:43:04):
Those two don't seem, to quite? Work together do they
you do discipline people for bringing, A, Firearm TO school
right so i would think that you would you would see,
that the you know, disciplinary actions. Were up NOT down
but then i thought a little, bit MORE about, it,
and i thought well let's let's let's tackle this. In
two different, ways first of all the disciplinary action, being

(01:43:25):
down twenty percent does that mean that kids ARE behaving
better in hisd and they don't have to perform? As
many disciplinary actions or does that mean they have changed
their policy and they are not punishing students at the
level that they. Used to punish them, and that's, that's
where you know the. DEVIL'S in the details I Know

(01:43:46):
there's all and i'm NOT saying THIS about hisd because
i don't know. It FOR a fact but i know
there's a lot of public schools out there that have
really backed off on disciplining Students because they don't they don't.
Want those numbers published they don't want parents. Up set
with them they don't want other parents to think that
there's disciplined, problems at the school just like they don't
want the parents that have kids with disciplinary problems to,

(01:44:09):
get angry at them or they. Don't want negative publicities.
What they don't want and that's true of any public
school system in the entire state and in the. Entire
COUNTRY pretty much so i don't know what to make
of the disciplinary being down while the. FIREARM position IS
up i think i have a logical explanation for why the. FIREARMS,

(01:44:29):
possessions are up hisd starting in the, beginning of the
year started installing metal detectors in all. OF the high
schools i don't think they've worked their way down to,
the middle school yet but they've limited the amount of
entrances into the building to a maximum of two and they,

(01:44:51):
have installed metal detectors so the kids are coming in
have to go. Through, a metal detector now this is
not going to catch every gun or knife that, comes
into the school but it's catching a. LOT more of
them i think that's where the. Increase is coming from
this big increase, is just you know more kids being
caught trying to bring, a weapon to school where before
they were just nobody was checking them and they were

(01:45:13):
just coming in with them seven time for traffic and.
Whether to go crazy WHAT'S that going, make i Got boss, that's, going.

Speaker 4 (01:45:19):
Oh no NO no everybody when i was a kid
had a gun in their truck. On, the gun rack
yeah and every single one of us boys Had one
of those puma knives or one of those pocket knives,
about this, big yeah and yeah, all we did you
all we did with it, was cut you know like.
Soda cans and stuff no one ever. Got shot or
stabbed but and you knew better than to bring, them.

Speaker 5 (01:45:39):
Into.

Speaker 4 (01:45:39):

in your pocket but no one ever got stabbed.

Hey sunday's going to.

Speaker 18 (01:46:50):
Be a tough, day, it'll be interesting though to see how,
this all plays out because the bulk of the energy
with this storm stays to, the north of us so
it'll be kind of hit and miss with. These showers
and thunderstorms it's not like a to find a low.
Pressure system swinging through that makes it easier to time,

(01:47:11):
it out, for us but nonetheless at least you have to.

Speaker 5 (01:47:14):
Worry about.

Speaker 18 (01:47:14):
Much rain this week today a dry day, and a
warm afternoon. Temperatures load upper, eighties tomorrow's even warmer mid.
Eighties to low nineties saturday there's only a twenty percent,
chance Of getting wet but sunday there's a sixty percent chance,
of showers and storms and some of those it could
start as early as the morning and, continue into the

(01:47:35):
afternoon but you'll likely get some breaks in. The rain
at times so it's a big question mark as to
whether it'll have an impact On. Your plans on sunday
and we still have a fifty percent chance of those Showers.

the governor's. Going to sign it join us to. Talk
About School Choice, state, representative, Mitch, little congratulations.

Speaker 5 (01:49:56):
Sir, jimmy good. Morning yeah we did we Finally. Stuck together,
LIKE republicans. Amazingly enough. I couldn't you know it's good
For the People at texas That. Republicans voted like Republicans
We only Had dave Feeling and gary Van Deever on
the republican party who did not support.

Speaker 3 (01:50:14):
The school choice initiative well that's a far cry from
the way, it used to. Be that's For sure did
any democrats vote.

Speaker 5 (01:50:19):
In favor of, this you know what it happened so
fast about FOUR hours ago that i didn't see there.
MIGHT have been no. I don't think so. I don't
think so i think this was a. Straight party line
vote here's the.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
Part represented a little HERE'S the part that, i don't
quite understand and, maybe you don't either or maybe.

Speaker 5 (01:50:39):
You figured it.

Speaker 3 (01:50:39):
Out let's find out you know a lot of people
who are good to benefit from this HAVE parents with
a dna. Next to The name they vote democrat, in
many different cases because we're talking About kids in, many
in many cases minority kids who come from underperforming schools
are going to be the ones who are probably going
to be the first to benefit from the school choice
bill and have. A better Scacial opportunity why? Would democrats

(01:51:02):
oppose that when you create one, hundred billion dollar system
which is what Public.

Speaker 5 (01:51:06):
Education, is in texas now that system tends to pick up,
Vendors along the way it tends, to, pick up teachers
unions it tends to pick up powerful taxpayer funded loss
and they just don't want the. Gravy train to end
if you think about, What, we did yesterday jimmy we
put another over eight billion dollars into public schools to

(01:51:28):
make sure that our teachers get paid what they're, supposed
to get paid and that the school has the resources
it needs to deliver the programs. It needs for children,
and For some reason the democrats think this one billion
dollar program that could potentially help people who are stuck
in failing schools is going to. BREAK the entire system
i think they just don't want anyone to. Have. A,

(01:51:50):
meaningful choice jimmy.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
Well it's about accountability and it's always been about accountability as, far,
as you said right it, is the gravy train but.
It's also about accountability they don't like to, have the
you know the, state scores? Released either do they these
school systems.

Speaker 19 (01:52:04):
They.

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
Don't love that yeah how many years were we.

Speaker 5 (01:52:06):
In, Litigation, OVER that jimmy yeah i mean that they're
trying to have a federal lawsuit or trying to bring
lawsuits to prevent the scores. From, Even being.

Speaker 3 (01:52:14):
Known right and those scores make hell the, case for
school choice which is another reason why they don't want
you to know just how poorly some of. These schools
are performing but the good news is is that obviously
it's going to be something the governor's going to sign
now it's going to. Come go into law have we?
Worked out the details how is? This going to work
how quickly will kids get an? Opportunity for school choice
is this something that's going to be for? The next

(01:52:36):
school year how's?

Speaker 5 (01:52:37):
This? GOING to work yeah i think the devil's in
the details now is. The LOGISTICS of it so i
believe that it's going To go, into effect september one
is going to make it particularly challenging for kids to
be able to roll into the, program unless you're homeschooled
be able to roll. INTO the program immediately i think
it's going to show some immediate benefit for people who

(01:53:00):
can get enrolled, in a private, school can, get in
you know can shift away from pub. Ed TO home
schooling and i think the resources will kind of meet.
Them there in time but, one, Of, the challenges truly
jimmy is that people are going to have to start
FIGURING out if do i need to test to get? Into?
A PRIVATE school now do i? Need to start applying

(01:53:21):
is this going to? Be AVAILABLE to me and i
think the governor will have communications resources to be able to.
Explain All that man and i'm guessing this is.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
Just the start right this is a good start because
only about one hundred thousand kids are going to benefit
from a from a one billion, dollar stipend pool here
there's going to have to be more.
