Speaker 5 (00:47):
We're looking good. Let's get the NASA one here. Skip
in there. It's an easy twenty one minute stroll downtown.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
That's stuff that you're seeing on some of the onlines
between right just north of the Emmett Expressway.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
It's not there.

We don't have any clothes.

Center from r KTRH top tax defenders, twenty four hour
weather center party, cloudy skies with the high temperature of
one oh one today. We'll get Terry Smith in here
with the complete forecast when we talked to her in
about nine minutes. Right now, it's eighty two at your
official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty k TRH.
It is time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer,
Good morning.

Speaker 8 (01:31):
Everyone is sound five oh one on news radio seven
forty KTRH in our top story this hour. Yeah, that's
the sound of radical anti Israel protesters an Tiefan whatever
they're else. You're protesting breaking through the outer perimeter fence
at the Democrat National Convention. They did it. It was

(01:54):
breached by rioters and at least five locations. They attacked
a second inside perimeter but were stopped. At least four
people arrested. As for what was happening inside the convention,
Joe Biden spoke, and of course he sided with the
anti Israel agitators.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Those protesters out in the street. They have a point.
A lot of innocent people are being killed.

Speaker 8 (02:20):
Biden, by the way, was late. His speech delayed by
more than an hour. It took place after primetime.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
As go as they got out of primetime, he got a.

Speaker 9 (02:28):
Little lost a couple of times.

Speaker 8 (02:30):
As we told you yesterday, the House Oversight Committee has
put out a two hundred ninety one page report detailing
how Biden's influence peddling made the entire family rich. But
will they ever have to answer for the crimes.

Speaker 10 (02:44):
Under Biden Harris Justice Department. I wouldn't count on that.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith on Fox
Business meantime, a judge has denied Hunter Biden's motion to
throw out his federal tax evasion case. Biden claimed Council
David Weiss was illegally appointed. Oh no, he was actually
in office. Donald Trump counter programming the DNC by campaigning

(03:09):
across battleground states all week. He was rallying in York,
Pennsylvania yesterday.

Speaker 11 (03:16):
Kamala puts America last, I put America first.

Speaker 8 (03:23):
Trump in Michigan today, North Carolina tomorrow, Arizona on Thursday,
and Nevada on Friday doesn't seem to run out of energy,
does he? Five three is our time looking at our
money the Biden Hears administration while they continue to gaslights
they have for years on our economy because they've used
their numbers.

Speaker 12 (03:45):
What they don't tell you is that the numbers are
artificially inflated.

Speaker 13 (03:48):
To it's driven by the excess of government spending. And
until the economy has more economic growth and less government spending,
we're not going to get that out of control.

Speaker 12 (03:56):
Economist Van Skin says, the truth is the economy is
that a tipping point.

Speaker 13 (04:00):
I mean, being propped up by a lot of excess money,
government spending and everything else that has led us to
this fradule economy that we're in today.

Speaker 12 (04:08):
The federal government has spent five point six trillion dollars
so far this fiscal year, about twenty percent of our GDP.
Cliff Saunders News Radio seven forty ktrh.

Speaker 8 (04:18):
American credit card debt hitting another all time high one
point one four trillion dollars on individuals. Right financial planner
Bill Dendy says, it's just Americans trying to maintain their lifestyle.

Speaker 14 (04:31):
Across the board, people have seen costs of things go
up twenty and twenty five percent, and for a lot
of people, their income didn't go up by twenty and
twenty five percent, and every dollar was already spoken for.

Speaker 8 (04:41):
In other words, we're not buying more, We're buying the
same things that just cost more. Consumers spending overall has
dropped this summer on a lot of things, but people
still shelling out for restaurants and travel. Five h five
is our time, a stunning number for the Biden Hereris
border disaster. Between Janu Nu Area twenty twenty three through
the end of just last month, okay, last year and

(05:05):
up and through last month, one point three million illegal
aliens brought into in release into the country on the
CBP one app. Brought in through the app, it equals
a population of Dallas. Administration has also approved new citizenship
at the fastest rate in the last ten years.

Speaker 15 (05:25):
This could be another effort to get more Democrat voters
ahead of November.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
Well, this has been the.

Speaker 16 (05:30):
Goal of the Biden Harris administration from the beginning that
they want to reshape the American electorate.

Speaker 15 (05:36):
Breitbart's Bob Price told KGRH these new voters might actually
hurt the Democrats by voting against open border policies.

Speaker 16 (05:43):
Generally, people that go through the legal process to go
through the expense and stand in line to become American
citizens tend to resent the illegal immigration.

Speaker 15 (05:52):
Price says, regardless of how they end up voting, these
new citizens can have a huge effect on down ballot
races and in swing states.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Either Buchinnan News radio.

Speaker 8 (06:01):
H oh there try and the Secretary of State Anthony
Blinkln says Israel has accepted the latest ceasefire proposal.

Speaker 9 (06:08):
Blinken called on Hamas to do the same.

Speaker 17 (06:12):
There is I think a real sense of urgency here
across the region on the need to get this over
the finish line and to do it as soon as possible.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
The United States is.

Speaker 17 (06:24):
Deeply committed to getting this job done, to getting it
done now.

Speaker 8 (06:28):
Hamas told Reuters of the deal was not what was
presented to us, nor what we agreed on. Okay, in
goz of the idea of did recover the bodies of
six October seventh hostages, including one who had been thought
to be alive, No, they're all dead. In the Ukraine
Russia War, Americans remain divided over having to pay for it.

Speaker 18 (06:50):
A new Pew Research poll finds Americans are evenly divided
on whether we have a responsibility to help Ukraine, with
a majority of Democrats saying yes, while most Republicans say no.
Foundation defense expert Robert Greenway tells Fox the billions we've
sent to Ukraine haven't hurt Russia.

Speaker 19 (07:05):
Russia's economy is growing, it's a full percentage point greater
than ours. Their trade balances in the black, and they're
reconstituting their military.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
As a result of it.

Speaker 19 (07:12):
It does appear unless we see a strategy from the
president and real leadership, this conflict will continue, and it
will have an incredible cost on the people of Ukraine
and frankly, the American taxpayer.

Speaker 18 (07:21):
The US has sent at least one hundred and seventy
five billion dollars in aid to Ukraine since the war
again two and a half years ago. Corey Jelson, who's
radio seven forty kt RH.

Speaker 9 (07:31):
It's now five oh seven?

Sarah fryar A News Radio seven forty k t RH.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
The very latest on your way to work.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff fryar.

Speaker 21 (08:29):
F.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
I've only had to start time here on Houston's Morning
News news Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
How many credit cards do you have? Sure? Hit your mic.

Speaker 9 (08:37):
I'm counting.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
I just can't counting. Hit the mic in the same time, Jacob.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
Just hit my mic for me. I was counting.

Speaker 8 (08:44):
Let me see one, two, three. I have three credit
cards that I use, and then I have three that
are kind of dormant, but you know, rather than cancel them,
I keep them.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Just I kind of have the same situation. I think
I have really only two that I really use, and
then I've got three or four that just are sitting around,
the ones that are sitting around. Evidently the credit card
companies don't like them sitting around anymore. I got a
notification from City Bank yesterday. This is an old card.
I've had it for a long long time, very rarely,
if ever, use it, notifying me that they're changing my

(09:20):
interest rate due.

Speaker 9 (09:21):
To Yeah, I got all that.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
Yeah, due to market conditions. Yeah, did they give you
the same spill? Due to market conditions? Your new interest
rates starting in September will be thirty four point seven percent?
What thirty four percent? You've got to be kidding me.
You have got seriously thirty four percent?

Speaker 8 (09:43):
And I have to wonder does that lower your credit rating?
Does that go on your record? That should you run
up debt? You know, because they keep track of how
much how much you can access, Yes, because you've had
cards for your credit limit?

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Yeah, yeah, and how much you have available?

Speaker 8 (10:00):
How much you have available? Well, here's what's happened, because
if they do it, what interest rate?

Speaker 7 (10:04):
Well, here's it's not so much about the interest rate
they charge as it is about here's what ultimately happens
in here. Here's yeah, here's the here's the catch twenty
two that we've all got going for us because your
first inclination to say, I will never pay thirty four
percent on a credit card, I'm canceling the credit card.
If when you cancel the credit card, you also cancel
that available credit, which means that your credit rating will

(10:28):
go down because you don't have as much available credit anymore.
And and what you do, oh is just become a
higher percentage than what it was before because you don't
have as much available credit to you. So they kind
of got you by the short hairs. If you don't
live do.

Speaker 8 (10:41):
That with numbers still they it's awful those banks, yep,
I don't forget.

Speaker 9 (10:46):
It's the banks the credit card.

Speaker 7 (10:47):
I had a Bank of America card. They canceled me
because I just didn't use it enough for their liking.
And now City Bank has said that they want to
jack by interest rate at thirty points thirty four point seven.
Then my first thing in connections to say forget you.
I can't. But then I got to go on by
new get new credit cards to get more available credit
to keep my credit rating up. But my credit rating
still won't be as good because those old credit cards

(11:08):
are old cards the older you've had credit with somebody,
the log you've had credit with somebody, the more accounts
towards your credit score. No, I understand it's quite a
game five eleven time for trafficking. Whether together good or bad?
Is what good?

Speaker 9 (11:21):
You're good to have a long term relationship with credit?

Speaker 7 (11:24):
Oh, well, you know it's bad when they want to
charge you thirty four percent.

Speaker 8 (11:28):
Call them about somebody trying to use fraud against you.
They thank you profusely for being a forty year or
a forty five year customer.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Oh you know, I don't know a whole lot about
long term relationships as we know.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Let's get on. I what I forty five North three Way.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
We had some kind of something up around Conro whatever
this was. It was series two one oh five, But
I could see that clear. I'm going to admit I
completely missed that because my map is mostly Greater Houston,
and sometimes I forget to.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
Just peer up that way.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
That's I have that tip line and rest of our
freeways rocking along. Now, the toll bridge suckage hasn't begun
just yet. It will give it a few minutes. If
I were you, I would still do the Sherman Bridge.
I like six y ten and we still have the
roadwork north Sam. That's a lifestyle Terry westbound, this is America.
We're missing two left lanes westbound Alding Westfield and then
eastbound at Imperial Valley.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
We're missing some Lanea's here all right.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
My work wife, Christina Cruz is doing Channel eleven this morning,
which needs I need extra help. Seven three two one
two t ips skylike and the classically GMC traffic Center.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
From our KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four hour whether center.
Terry Smith is here. Forecast says we might be farding
with a record today. I don't know what the all
time record is, but it's just be more of what
we've been experiencing the last few days, right, nothing crazy, a.

Speaker 22 (12:45):
Little more and then some like Mother Nature's got the
summer heat on steroids. It feels like, especially today and tomorrow.
By Thursday, the temperatures will back down slightly and we'll
take every degree ruler that we might get. But today
upper nineties to one oh four and tomorrow upper nineties
to one oh three. A lot of places are going

(13:08):
to be in the triple digits. Those upper nineties are
closer to the coast, So an excessive heat warning will
kick into effect this morning and continue until tomorrow night
because the heat and disease a good bit of the
day will exceed one ten, maybe as high as one
point fifteen, So just try to limit how much time
you're outside if you can today and tomorrow. Starting Thursday

(13:31):
and Friday, we're still dry temperatures though slightly cooler, mid
nineties to one hundred, and then we got some ride
over the weekend and that'll help to continue the very
subtle cool down that we we'll see.

At the Democratic National Convention, Yes, we will be playing
a few things from the DNC last night, mainly to
make fun of them, but we will share a few
things with you. Jesse Waters was there and he noted
the atmosphere seemed a little different at the DNC than
it did at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee wasn't
quite the party that they had in Milwaukee. More on

Speaker 8 (15:20):
Is now five point twenty two on news radio seven
forty KTRH. Our headlines are sponsored by Texas Mutual Insurance
Kamala Harris calling for raising the corporate tax rate.

Speaker 9 (15:30):
Oh don't you know to twenty eight.

Speaker 8 (15:32):
Percent taxes on businesses, which of course get passed on
to the consumer. Not to mention the business ability to
hire and expand. Life is good though for the top
echelon at standard and poor. Five hundred CEOs made two
hundred and sixty times what the typical worker made last year.
Of course they get those stock options and special bonuses.

Speaker 9 (15:54):

Speaker 7 (16:24):
Talkies were all together in Chicago last night five twenty three,
So time here in Houston's morning news.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
But the crowd didn't seem joyful. Well, it's all about joy,
don't you know?

Speaker 9 (16:35):
This is what this is part of the platform. Joy.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
Joy.

Speaker 7 (16:38):
They were joyful during the Biden speech, probably because they
recognized that it was his farewell song. So I think
that they were joyful that he was there and that
he was leaving.

Speaker 9 (16:48):
He was leaving. He left last night for California and vacation.

Speaker 7 (16:52):
Yeah, well, he's exhausted after a lot. I mean, he
spent a lot of energy last night. But it's a
bit of a stuff. Don't you think they have the
current president of the United States speaking at your party's
commission on Monday the warm up back, yeah, Monday time.

Speaker 9 (17:08):
That it was like his birth it was like his
graduation party.

Speaker 7 (17:11):
Yeah, well, Jesse Waters thought, go that, Well, let's put
this week a lot of fake love going on at
the DMC.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
Last night. Here's Jesse primetimes.

Speaker 24 (17:19):
In Chicago for the first night of the Democratic National Convention,
and very soon we'll be hearing from the two people
who Trump knocked out of the race, Hillary Clinton and
Joe Biden. This was supposed to be Joe Biden's big week.
A month ago, he was shopping for new aviators, getting
botox and booking.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Hotels for Hunter.

Speaker 24 (17:38):
Now, Biden's not even staying the night after his speech.
Biden's flying straight to California for a week long vacation.
He's going to watch the convention from his couch like
everybody else. If the party was unified as they say
they are, and Biden stepped down for the greater good
of the country, as he said he did, and the

(17:59):
last four years we're worthy of Mount Rushmore, he'd be
holding court in Chicago all week, soaking up the love,
holding fundraisers for Harris. Hillary threw Bill a birthday party
this afternoon.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Biden didn't even show up.

Speaker 24 (18:15):
The truth is this, the Democrats don't want Biden anywhere
near this convention. He's toxic, and they don't want him
standing on stage with Kamala. That's not going to help
her at all. And Biden doesn't even want to be here.
He's humiliated and they're isolating him like he has the Rona.
Trump was shot in the head forty eight hours before

(18:37):
the RNC, and he showed up every day with a
bandage on his ear.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
Biden was stabbed in the back.

Speaker 24 (18:43):
Forced to speak on Monday night as far away from
Kamala as possible, and now he's evacuating quicker than Afghanistan.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Biden hates Barack.

Speaker 24 (18:53):
Michelle hates Biden, Biden hates Pelosi, and the Clintons hate
them all.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
It's so fake.

Speaker 24 (19:01):
They're going to shower Biden with love before they tell
them to.

Speaker 7 (19:03):
Hit the showers. And they did exactly what they did,
holding up that we love Joe signs. You know, it's
screaming at the top of their lungs. What how much
that cost? You have to pay the people there to
do that? Or are the people who actually go to
the convention do it for free?

Speaker 8 (19:19):
Every convention is always produced, of course, period of course,
you know, but this the difference is the problem here
is the Democrats have to produce their candidates. The Republicans don't.
Donald Trump's Donald Trump. Yeah, they produced a convention. It
was a good convention and they had great people show up.
But that was all real stuff. Yeah it wasn't Hollywood.

Speaker 7 (19:41):
Yeah, this is all Hollywood for sure. Five twenty six.
It is time to take a look at your money.

Does anybody know him?

Speaker 8 (22:24):
Yeah, a candidate who can speak for himself. Donald Trump
campaigning in York, Pennsylvania yesterday, calling out mainstream media for
giving Kamala Harris kid glove treatment. They're just painting over her.

Speaker 11 (22:38):
Our country is doing really badly under them, and nobody
wants to talk about it. Someday the media is going
to become real media instead of fake media, and you're
going to see a big difference in the country.

Speaker 8 (22:50):
Trump will be all over the battleground states this week, Michigan,
North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada. He said he would also
consider Elon Musk for a role in his cabinet. Musk
posted on x that quote he is willing to serve.
The Democrats officially kicked off their convention in Chicago yesterday
with Joe Biden giving what amounted to his farewell speech.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
America, I gave my best to you.

Speaker 9 (23:17):
Yeah you did, Joe Biden.

Speaker 8 (23:18):

responding after the Texas Farm Bureau flipped and now says

(26:35):
it will not oppose the legislator legislature putting in a
ban on on land sales to communist China and its proxies.

Speaker 30 (26:45):
Which raises the question just how much land does China
already own in Texas.

Speaker 21 (26:51):
China owns about one hundred and eighty thousand acres in
the state of Texas. One hundred and thirty thousand of
that is close to an air force base.

Speaker 30 (27:00):
That's Russell Baanning, president of the Texas Farm Bureau. Last year,

Speaker 7 (28:56):
Houston's Morning News. Consurance rates predicted to sergey up to
fifty percent in three states. Texas is not one of
those states, but I'll get to us in a second.
Those three states are California and Missouri. In Minnesota. Interesting California,
I get everything's more expensive in California. I guess the

(29:16):
other ones are sort of have more to do with
state legislation, irregulation, those types of things have increased some
of their insurance rates. Here in Texas, we have a
different problem. It's called bad driving, especially in Houston. Houston
has been singled out is one of the worst Texas

(29:38):
cities for accidents and driving. You know that we well
you've got you know, we've got six and a half
million people in the greater Houston area. The roads are
always clogged. People are impatient. When they do get a
chance to speed, they do speed, sometimes at crazy high rates.
They DoD in aunt traffic. That's yeah. Here in Texas.

(29:59):
By the way, in twenty twenty three, our car insurance rate.
Car insurance rates increased twenty five point That was in
one year. In twenty twenty four, the increase was twenty
six percent, So that's forty the better part of fifty
close to fifty percent as far as our insurance rates
over the course of the last two years. Unlike California

(30:20):
was just seeing it that increase in just one year.
But I don't see anything that's going to slow that down. Yeah,
because the more accidents you have, the more claims you have.
The more claims you have, the more the rest of
us have to pay for those claims.

Speaker 8 (30:33):
Yeah, what what's the inflation rate? Did they say?

Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, evidently car insurance is not included.

We're in good shape here to downtown. Twenty one minutes

get on six ten the Sherman Bridge. That'll be so stubborn.
South Loop at the squeeze westbound, we're not bad to
Colin Scott Street, just the little breaks and the north
squeeze north Loop six ' ten westbound at forty five,
we're okay forty five north. Let's see from CONR we're

it's gonna be hot again. Dad, you had a chance
to look up the all time record? What's the all
time record for today? Okay, curious about that?

Speaker 9 (32:06):
Yeah, I can look that up.

Speaker 7 (32:07):
See if we got any chance of tying it or
breaking it, especially if you get all the way to
one oh four.

Speaker 22 (32:12):
Couple of different sites in Houston that we use to
observe the records at. Let's see at Hobby the record
today is one oh seven and that was last year,
so I don't think we're going to get there. One
oh four is the highest I see us hitting today
and one o eight is the record at bush in

(32:32):
or Continental, So let's just say it's a good thing we're.

Speaker 9 (32:36):
Not same records.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Though.

Speaker 9 (32:39):
It's hot enough on its own, all right.

Speaker 22 (32:42):
So we have a excessive heat warning folks that kicks
into effect this morning and goes through tomorrow night. Because
temperature is today upper nineties to one oh four, tomorrow
upper nineties to one o three, and the heat index
is going to be bumping up.

Speaker 9 (32:58):
Around one thirteen or even over that.

Speaker 22 (33:00):
So definitely the afternoon hours are the time to find
someplace cool to just to chill out. We're still dry
Thursday and Friday, but just temperatures are going to begin
to cool just a little bit, mid nineties to around
one hundred both Thursday and Friday. Then the weekend we've
got some rain and that'll help to bring the temperatures
down into the mid to upper nineties over the weekend.

What you need to know for the day ahead.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
This is Houston's Morning News brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 7 (33:36):
So what are the keys at toenning the election, especially
for Democrats is to get out the youth vote. And
I'm guessing the same thing could be true this time
around in getting out young conservatives to show up and
actually vote. Just get out patriots in general, regardless of
your age. We'll talk to Nick Lindquist, political analyst about that.
It's always tougher to get the young people to turn
out to vote because there's very few things that just

(33:57):
motivate them to get to the bulls. We'll talk to
him about that in the moment. First though, at five fifty,
let's do a little traffic and weather together. Starting to
do Skymike, We're loopy and the squeeze. Now I've got
a reported wreck. I hope everybody's okay. This is north

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Nick Lindquist joins us political analyst, I would think young
conservatives would be very motivated to get invote this year,
are you there, Nick, Yeah, yes, yes, sorry, no.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
I absolutely agree.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
I absolutely agree.

Speaker 26 (36:05):
And actually we're in a very interesting time right now,
where you know, research is showing that especially young men
are the most conservative they've been in decades. So it's
just a matter of, you know, how do we get
them out to vote.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
They they realize there's a war against them, don't they.

Speaker 32 (36:23):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (36:23):
Absolutely, you know, endless pulling showing that, like you know,
young people in general, the facade is coming down, Like
they see what's happening to our country and they see
how it impacts them directly. When you can't buy a
house anymore until you're in your mid to late thirties,
or you can't really find a job after college, it

(36:45):
starts to hit you that something's wrong here.

Speaker 9 (36:48):
This is starting to dawn on them. That is not
how you feel. Is what you can do?

Speaker 6 (36:54):
Yes, yes, exactly, yes, I think.

Speaker 8 (36:57):
At some point, you know, is what can you do
what can I do for myself, not how I feel
about this?

Speaker 26 (37:04):
Right, Yes, that that feel good sort of strategy that
Democrats are using aren't working anymore. And I think you know,
the especially the campus protests, the Prohamas protesters all over
the country this year definitely sped up that process. But
you know, I think if Republicans can continue to tap

(37:28):
into this influencer pool of people who are just normal
people that people can relate to and not use like
washed up celebrities and crazy you know, activists to get
to young people, then this this selection season could be
very different from when we've seen, you know, in recent history.

Speaker 7 (37:48):
Well, there's a couple of things Republicans seem to be
more willing to do this time around than they have
in the past. One of them is to utilize social
media more than they have, because I think they realize
that the data shows them that that's where young people,
regardless of where they're at politically, that's where they get
their news pretty much these days, is through social media.
And and the other thing is just I think the

(38:10):
the general attempt to try to get to get them
the information they need to and to and to get
them to to the ballot box and to get them
and to get the ballots taken care of. And that's
the other thing that always concerns me that Republicans are
just now seemingly waking up to this whole ballot harvesting thing.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 23 (38:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (38:36):
And and with social media, I think this is like,
you know, one of one of the biggest, the biggest
election where everything that's happening in our political landscape is
directly embedded in a part of online culture. And I
think Republicans see that and it's stronger than ever, so
they're they're definitely coming at.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
It from that angle.

Speaker 26 (38:59):
But also, yes, uh, it's just simply like what Democrats
have been doing for for years, where you actually sign
up your your voting base when they're young and encourage
them to go out and vote. Uh you know this
These are efforts led by in the r n C
starting to do it themselves, but also you know a

(39:20):
lot of a lot of nonprofit groups have just gotten
out there and started to sign people up.

Speaker 8 (39:25):
Doesn't hurt that the GOP under Donald Trump has changed
its immajeeter.

Speaker 9 (39:29):
When you've got the UFC and.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
You've got wrestlers and oh yeah, you know, I mean
the types all of a sudden, it's uh the fighter
and uh that appeals especially again going back to young males.

Speaker 26 (39:46):
Yeah, I mean there's just excitement here now. I think
there's something to look forward to. It's not just a
you know, a stuffy room of people you don't understand
what they're saying where we're Yeah, we're talking about like
some some really exciting stuff now and I think that's
definitely helping with the young face.

rioters broke through the outer perimeter fencing in five areas yesterday,
were stopped at the second interior perimesure. However, there were
four arrest made, controlled and paid for mayhem outside the
convention and lies being told on stage.

Speaker 5 (42:39):
President was asked what he thought had happened. Donald Trump said, my.

Speaker 26 (42:43):
Quote, there are very five people on both sides.

Speaker 8 (42:48):
Just despicable lying President Joe Biden a speech, by the way,
that got delayed by more than one hour, and what
Biden always leaves out and has for years. Is the
key part of what Trump said in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 11 (43:03):
I'm not talking about the neo Nazis and the white
nationalists because they should be condemned totally.

Speaker 8 (43:09):
Of course, that doesn't fit the left continuing narrative on Trump.
As we told you yesterday, a House Overside Committee report
to tails how the Biden family enriched themselves nearly thirty
million dollars off influence peddling.

Speaker 33 (43:26):
Took tens of millions of dollars from our enemies around
the world. They ran those that money through a bunch
of shell companies. They dispersed it to ten different Biden
family members, including Joe Biden, and according to the irishwitze Blowers,
they never paid a penny of taxes.

Speaker 20 (43:39):
On any of it.

Speaker 8 (43:40):

Speaker 11 (43:51):
They don't call him Crooked Joe for no reason.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
They said President.

Speaker 11 (43:55):
Biden engaged in impeachable conducts and said he appearsed office
and defrauded the United States of America to enrich his.

Speaker 8 (44:03):
Family Trump on the campaign trail and will be this
week in five of the battleground states. A federal judge
has denied Hunter Biden's motion to dismiss this tax evasion
case against him. Hunter's lawyers say special counsel David Weiss
was illegally appointed. A judge said, no, it is now
six to oh four. We've told you that the White

(44:24):
House has been lying about the economy for years. We've
lived through this devaluation of every dollar because of their
flood of spending. Economist Vance Gin says we'd be in
a much better spot had they been more conservative.

Speaker 13 (44:39):
You have a situation of too much money chasing too
few goods. You get inflation, and that's led to a
lot of the other problems throughout the economy. So you
remove a lot of those problems which were government failures,
and I think we have a much stronger economy today.

Speaker 8 (44:53):
So far this fiscal year, this government has spent five
point six trillion dollars borrow just another trillion and a
half with two months left in this fiscal twenty four
more Americans borrowing too, racking up credit card diet to
make ends meet. But the CEO of Bank of America
says there's also another reason.

Speaker 30 (45:16):
And shareff for many that would be maintaining a lifestyle.

Speaker 14 (45:20):
It's difficult to cut back to reassess our needs and
our wants. And for many people they just went ahead
and turned to savings and turned to credit cards.

Speaker 30 (45:30):
That is certified financial planner Bill Dendy, who says you
may have to stop trying to keep up with the Jones.

Speaker 14 (45:38):
The real answer is the traditional budget and plan. And
I know budget and planning does not sound exciting. It's
like diet and exercise for a lot of folks. But
so many things can be taken care of by going
back to the basics.

Speaker 30 (45:50):

Under the Biden Harris administration, the rate of new citizenships
grand granted has skyrocketed. And how do you think these
new American votes will go?

Speaker 16 (46:11):
In certain sling battle ground states. You see very close
elections where a small percentage of people could make a
big difference, but more so in the down ballot races.

Speaker 8 (46:20):
Breitbart's Bob Price he says it's just part of the
Democrat effort to completely reshape America American electorate into a

getting much publicity. At least seven Border patrol agents have

Blinken meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister in Tel Aviv
to try to get a ceasefire deal before Biden leaves office.

Speaker 9 (46:56):
I think he's already gone.

Speaker 17 (46:58):
Being a very constructive meeting with primestery In in Yahoo today.
He confirmed to me that Israel accepts the bridging proposal,
that he supports it.

Speaker 8 (47:08):
Yeah, but Hamas doesn't. They told Reuters the deal, not
what quote we agreed on. Meantime, the IDF has recovered
the remains of six hostages who were taken by Hamas
on October seventh, including the body of one person that
Israelis thought was still alive. There appears to be no
end in sight to the war in Ukraine either, despite

(47:30):
one hundred and seventy five billion dollars of American assistance
so far, Heritage Foundation defense expert Robert Greenway telling Fox
the Biden Harris administration has failed in any way to
deter Russia.

Speaker 19 (47:45):
We need to apply real, genuine economic pressure. They've got
to feel the pain, they've got to pay a price
for it. And second, there has to be a real
tangible military threat and a leader, frankly in Washington that
has the respect and fear in Moscow. We saw that
under President Trump. We had not seen that under President Biden.

Speaker 21 (48:01):
Yeah.

And you all got COVID this summer. And the funny
we have a summer flu season, though not just a
winter flu season, a summer flu season. Oh, COVID really
is is the flu h One of elizabeth coworkers came
down with it. He has asthma. So you would think
if anybody would be compromised by getting COVID, if it

(49:06):
was really super dangerous these days, she would be a
prime candidate for that. She didn't feel really good, but
she missed two days of work and on the I
think on the third or fourth day, she tested negative
and came right back to work. But the CDC wants
you to keep your mask handy. If you're going to
be going someplace where there's other people, please take a

(49:28):
mask and mask up, because after all, we found during
COVID in the pandemic that masking was so highly effective
at preventing people from getting COVID. Well, maybe it'll work
this time, right. I don't see a lot of people
masking up. I still see a few people masking up,

(49:49):
but not because and this was not during the I've
seen fewer people masking up this summer when we actually
have instances of COVID going on than I did in
the winter or the s when we didn't have any
COVID going on.

Speaker 6 (50:02):
We're very little of any COVID going on. So do
what you want.

Speaker 8 (50:06):
Six yeah, do what you want, do.

Speaker 6 (50:09):
What you care, live your life.

Speaker 9 (50:10):
Just don't try to impose things on CDC.

Speaker 6 (50:13):
Be quiet about it.

Speaker 7 (50:14):
You know they're putting up there must be some sort
of a run on attempting. I'm convinced that vaccines are
highly profitable things because I've noticed that the Walgreens by me,
they've been popping up all these get vaccinated signs, So
I think anytime they see there's a little uptick in something,
they try to talk to you into getting a vaccine

(50:35):
that really isn't going to help you much. Six ' ten.
Time for traffic and weather together. We're checking out the
drive once again. Here's the guy Mike.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
All right, hard hats stand by because we'll go to
your side quickly.

Speaker 5 (50:44):
But first let's do some north loops. Six ' ten.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
That is westbound right at the squeeze at forty five.
I'm looking from Fulton. There's the ambulance on the scene.
This is before forty five ats rec. We're calling it
a left line, but this also affects that ramp that
goes downtown. That's the one where all problem we'll we
wipe out someday. We're backed up now from your East
Tex Freeway and looking rough. If you can go through it,

(51:07):
Terry sent your hazard's jump on the south loop instead,
let's do some Let's go to JC from Huffman.

Speaker 23 (51:13):
Dude got Mike, Hey south bound. We'll play two car.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
Kiss led someone police taking up the fast lanes and
could get missy. All right, watch out from nineteen sixty
and that's hazardous coding from Burk's over the toll bridge.

Speaker 23 (51:28):

Speaker 4 (51:47):
No lifetime watching people, all right, that's ninety outbound after
the bridge. Terry, cover your ears in count to three.
One time I was flying for Channel thirteen. I saw
nicking people there, but they're gone. You weren't used to
hear that that's an outbound let's look out Skymike in

Does all I can come up with for that one, Terry,
Just a little crazy from the heat.

Speaker 9 (52:16):
Yeah, I've been outside in the uh.

Speaker 7 (52:18):
Thinking two, there's only folks, there's only so many clothes
you can take off.

Speaker 6 (52:21):
You're still go to sweat.

Speaker 22 (52:22):
Okay, that is the darn truth. Okay, So I have
decided to reframe my way of thinking on this heat
and say, you know, compared to.

Speaker 9 (52:31):
Last year, this isn't so bad.

Speaker 22 (52:33):
Because when I did go look at those temperatures from
last year, which were records, we were talking one o seven,
one o eight. Today we're talking as high as one
oh four and tomorrow as high as one o three.
Now there isn't the excessive heat warning that's in effect
today and tomorrow because of the hot temperatures and the
heat and disease bumping up to one point fifteen in

(52:55):
some places. So you definitely don't want to be outside
any more than you have to be in this kind
of weather.

Speaker 9 (53:00):
Thursday and Friday, we're still sunny and dry.

Speaker 22 (53:03):
It does cool a little bit like mid nineties to
around one hundred, and then rain over the weekend will
help to bump the temperatures down more so into the
mid to upper nineties.

somebody who has excellent credit, you wouldn't think your credit
card company, who you've been with for over twenty years,
would send you a notification saying they're going to raise
your interest rate to thirty one point something percent. I

(53:50):
passed out once I got past thirty four. I didn't
see the point whatever. I was just at that point

Speaker 1 (55:47):
This is where you get the very latest the presidential election.

Speaker 7 (55:50):
Youth Radio seven forty kt RH. Bill Dendi joins a
CPA serve ive Financial planner. US consumers have more debt,
They're starting to pull back on spending bill, but they're
still trying to maintain their lifestyle, aren't they.

Speaker 34 (56:06):
It seems that way. I mean, it seems that a
lot of folks were living paycheck to paycheck and then
we had the bout with inflation, and things are costing
twenty and twenty five percent more, and maybe their raises
weren't twenty and twenty five percent more.

Speaker 14 (56:20):
So to make up for the shortfall, rather than revisiting
needs for us versus wants and reworking lifestyle, a lot
of them just turned to spending down the money they
had in the bank account, and then when they ran
out of money in the bank account, they.

Speaker 34 (56:34):
Started growing up the credit cards. As we see, credit
card rates are high, yet it hasn't slowed the consumer
down from a massy and the highest credit card debt
we've ever seen.

Speaker 8 (56:44):
You know, I understand about wanting to protect the money
that you basically lend people, but really, I mean, when
inflation was basically two percent, you still had credit card
interest rates that were forever and people who had saved
their money they were getting nothing from the banks in return.
There's something wrong with a system overall. I mean, people

(57:07):
who get these kind of debts now to get through
a hard spot, they're never going to be able to
get out from under it.

Speaker 34 (57:14):
It's unbelievable. The credit card interest rates, and I think
I heard y'all mentioned earlier.

Speaker 6 (57:20):
Thirty four for thirty four.

Speaker 7 (57:23):
City banks send me noticed and said, y'all, we're gonna
you've been with us, We don't care if you've been
with us for twenty five years. We're going to starting
in September, we're raising the credit card rate to thirty
four points something percent.

Speaker 35 (57:33):
Jimmy, even the mob doesn't charge that much. I mean,
this is unbelievable, but it's causing people to turn to
other sources of financing as well. Now I think people
might should look at reducing their budget to what they
can afford on a monthly basis, But I've seen folks
rather do everything else, such as borrow from their four

(57:53):
to one k, deplete their four o one k, turn
to credit card debt, and do other.

Speaker 34 (57:57):
Things that are not long term healthy.

Speaker 14 (58:00):
And I believe that it's created for some people's ability
to go into the lending business. I've seen a lot
of folks now doing owner financing when they sell properties
because they're able to get a return that just as
you said earlier, you can't go get on your own safely,
but if you had the collateral back in the loans,
rates are now higher that you can receive by doing

(58:23):
some owner financing or doing own independent lending.

Speaker 34 (58:26):
But I think that for a lot of folks who
are doing the borrowing, the better answer is to revisit
their overall lifestyle and make sure they're not wasting money
or having leakage along the way. And for some it
maybe having that hard conversation about what really are the
needs versus the wants and making a budget that's more sustainable.

Speaker 8 (58:48):
Maybe do the best you can to maintain things instead
of thinking I've got to have something new.

Speaker 6 (58:54):
That's a need in the voide.

Speaker 34 (58:57):
And I saw that with the school shopping this year
with my own kids. When they get the long list
of things they got to go out and buy, it's like, yes,
we got the long list, but hey, a lot of
this we already have, and we can find other ways
of doing it than getting everything brand new right away
first day. Not the most popular dad decisions sometimes, but

(59:18):
sometimes the most practical thing that can be done to
save hundreds of dollars and the item that's become almost
surprisingly expensive every year, especially if you have a couple

Donald Trump in York, Pennsylvania yesterday, the first of stops
in five battleground states this week while the Dems are campaigning.
On his main tweets, he says, you should be voting
with your wallet.

Speaker 11 (01:02:17):
With your vote, we will unleash explosive economic growth and
vast new prosperity for all of our citizens.

We will put more money into.

Trump will be in Michigan today. The FBI meantime, concluded
that Iran is behind the hack of Trump's campaign. In
a statement, Bureau said it's increasingly aggressive Iranian activity during
this election cycle. Also reports earlier this summer that Iran
had plotted to try to assassinate Trump when the Democrats

(01:02:50):
aren't complaining about Trump's personality, though they flat out tell
lies about him.

Speaker 36 (01:02:55):
Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar it
didn't allow in his own pockets and greasing the palms
of his Wall Street.

Speaker 8 (01:03:03):
Friends as AOC at the Democrat convention yesterday, and oh,
a very bitter Hillary Clinton spoke in Chicago.

these days. You had four different anti Israel demonstrators arrested
after they broke through the outside fencing. Four out of

(01:03:53):

protesting more in this crazy US. At seven am, it
is six point thirty four now the GOP is targeting
young voters now, a new initiative called Vote for America
trying to get film registered to vote in November.

Speaker 15 (01:04:12):
Turns out young people might not be as liberal as
we think.

Speaker 26 (01:04:15):
Young people have seen with their own eyes the radicalism
that exists and is nurtured within the Democratic Party.

Speaker 15 (01:04:23):
Political analyst Nick Linquist told KTRH because of this, newer
voters might be easier than ever for Republicans to reach.

Speaker 26 (01:04:30):
They want to hear from people like them, who they
can relate with, and I think that's where the right
is getting things in line.

Texas Congressman Lance Gooden has written a letter seeking answers
from Google over why did they manipulate search results to
show quote altered headlines in favor of Kamala Harris, making
her look good for things she hadn't done. The AI
hype bubble also beginning to pop a little bit reality

(01:05:06):
setting in there too. A goose Mayrot of the Federalists
say it's not doing what people thought both good and bad,
because at the end of the day, AI is just driven.
It's a program driven by people.

Speaker 27 (01:05:21):
It's not making decisions. It's not autonomous. You have to
program it like anything else. But that's part of the
issue that a business will try to get some AI
software with a hope that it can replace people. It
really can't. It still needs somebody operating it.

five percent of Republican voters in favor of a ban

Republicans are now hoping to pass a new bill next session.

Speaker 6 (01:06:18):
Our members are talking about that right now. They're very
patriotic folks.

Speaker 21 (01:06:22):
I will tell you this, it's an emotional issue, and
foreign ownership as a Texan and as an American, I
don't think it's a good idea for our adversaries to
own land.

Speaker 8 (01:06:33):
Yeah, Russell Baining, he's with the Texas Farm Bureau held.
We told you last week the bureau had basically been
wanting to be independent and now has changed its mind.

Kamala Harris failed at the border, and she also failed
at lowering costs that she promised is lowering cost of internet.

Speaker 31 (01:07:06):

to take action to help folks get interneted and connected,
in part by offering more affordable, high speed internet plans
to their customers.

Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
Interneted Harris three years ago. The Technology Policy Institute says
Internet prices have gone up eight percent just over the
last two years. Houston's Houstonians, I don't know why I've
said that twice now. Houstonians will pay about fifty grand

Lena Hildago she took her kiddy cat to the DNC
six thirty nine on Houston's Morning News. Saw a picture
of it too. She's on board the plane. She has
this weird little smile on her face, and in her
lap is her little pet carry all inside the pet
carry all staring at the camera. Here's her cat and

(01:08:44):
he has this expression here or she got not sure
which has this expression, this wide bug eyed expression on
his face like you can't help but think if the
cat could talk, what would the cat be saying he'd
be going yo help me. He really looked like he
wanted to get out of there. Well, you know, flying

(01:09:06):
is not much fun for animals, and I'm guessing being
Lena's cat is, I mean, she really is kind of
the crazy cat Lady. In fact, that's why she evidently
why she took the cat to the DNC is because
of jd. Vance referring to childless cat ladies as being,
you know, sort of the crux of the Democrat Party.
So let me get this straight. She took her cat

(01:09:29):
to the DNC to prove jd Van's right, because she
is the poster child for crazy cat Lady. Six forty

Speaker 7 (01:12:16):
Right down, it's eighty two. At your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty k TRH. You are commute, you
are forecast, you are news. It's Houston's Morning News, brought
to you. Buying new South Windows solutions. Six forty nine
is a time here in Houston's born news. General Motors
getting ready to issue layoff notice to more than one
thousand of their software engineers. Many of them, about more

(01:12:38):
than half of them are in Michigan, of course, which
is big automotive state. The move comes about two months
after the formal Apple Inc. Executives were promoted to senior
vice president Roles at General Motors, saying, as we build
GM's future, we must simplify for speed and excellence, make
bold choices, and prioritize the investments that will have the
greatest impact. Well, then here's my question to General Motors.

(01:13:02):
I was at a local Chevy dealership getting some work
done to my traverse, and just to kill some time,
I went on the showroom floor. Do you know what
every vehicle on the showroom floor. The dealership was an
electric vehicle, every single one of them, and they had
these big GM signs about going electric. So my guess
is because the the General Motors put out an edict

(01:13:25):
to the people who wanted to remain dealers that they
were going to have to do certain things. I bet
that's one of the things that they had to do.

Speaker 9 (01:13:30):
We did a story on that. I can't remember.

Speaker 8 (01:13:32):
It was a headline that it was about how they
they're overstocked, they can't sell them, but they've got to.

Speaker 6 (01:13:36):
Yeah, I mean none, none of their big.

Speaker 8 (01:13:39):
It's really sad. There wasn't this happens when the government
takes over business.

Speaker 11 (01:13:43):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:13:43):
There wasn't a tahoe to be seen. There wasn't a
suburban to be seen. There wasn't a traverse to be seen.
And those are the bigger sellers, not the evs and
put them on the showroom floor you want. That's not
gonna sell anything anyway. Six fifty time for traffic and
weather together.

Speaker 5 (01:13:57):
Drive a covered wagon before I drive an EV.

Speaker 6 (01:14:00):
I would love to see that. We could probably make
that happen.

Speaker 8 (01:14:02):
You would never make it to work on time if
you had to stop to recharge.

Speaker 5 (01:14:06):
I'd feel great in Tarking.

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
Then all right, let's go southbound tollbridge suckage now twenty

Washington Center Lane and Bradford Weimers just passed it.

Speaker 23 (01:14:28):

Speaker 5 (01:14:31):
The westbound that makes sense, But eastbound right before.

Speaker 21 (01:14:33):

Passing the torch, so that was the theme last night
at the DNC. Greg Gutfeld had some fun with that.

Speaker 37 (01:16:10):
It doesn't matter who the person is, it's the machine.
They just slotted out the old guy and put in
the second wife. That's how it works.

Speaker 6 (01:16:19):
So far.

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
I've heard passing.

Speaker 37 (01:16:22):
The torch four or five times just in this show.

Speaker 5 (01:16:25):
All day.

Speaker 37 (01:16:25):
I've heard passing the torch not the best analogy. When
you're dealing with a party that let multiple cities burn
to the ground, do you think maybe we should use
something else, like maybe pass the baton because or maybe
it is the right one, because this is the party
that nearly burned this country to the ground, at least economically.

(01:16:45):
For example, Joe Biden, the only thing he passed was gas.
Might be a good thing to let that torch go.
You had to wrestle this job away from him like
it was car keys from a drunk. And I don't
think he's the one that's resentful. It's doctor Jill. Let's
be honest. His life isn't going to change that much.

(01:17:06):
You can tell him he's president. He won't know any better.

Speaker 6 (01:17:10):

to California. And what's the rumor about what he's waiting
for them?

Speaker 8 (01:17:42):
Yeah, he's on vacation. No, I'm just hearing the coup.
That was a coup of course, you know, right, what's
the pay off there?

Speaker 6 (01:17:50):
Yeah, there's there had to be so.

Speaker 9 (01:17:51):
Much get to get him go quietly.

Speaker 7 (01:17:54):
My guess is, well, it's interesting because the New York
Post has the big article about just how damning.

Speaker 8 (01:18:01):
Making charges that I have no basis of any knowledge
about it all.

Speaker 9 (01:18:04):
I'm just saying there's a lot of speculation out there.

Speaker 6 (01:18:06):
Maybe they're just selling. Maybe maybe it's a big, big
old pair.

Speaker 8 (01:18:09):
Sure was done, because what has what have the Biden
is not done well.

Speaker 7 (01:18:13):
Deal involves involves cash, certainly, and lots of it, And
I guess i'd also involve a promise to make you
any future investigation of the Biden family go over.

He missed primetime video of it all. As we told

Let's look at our money. The Biden Harris administration. We
know they've been gas lighting us for years on the
economy because they keep using their numbers.

Speaker 12 (01:23:43):
What they don't tell you is that the numbers are
artificially inflated to.

Be driven by the access of government spending. And until
the economy has more economic growth and less government spending,
we're not going to get that outder control.

that a tipping point.

Speaker 13 (01:23:58):
The economy being propped up by a lot of excess money,
government spending and everything else that has led us to

trillion dollars this year. Financial planner Bill Dindy says Americans
are just maintaining their lifestyle.

Speaker 9 (01:24:34):
Maybe they can't.

Speaker 14 (01:24:36):
Across the board, people have seen costs of things go
up twenty and twenty five percent, and for a lot

Consumer spending has dropped this summer from what it was,

Seven oh four is our time. And this number from
the Biden Harris b Order disaster from January of twenty
twenty three last year through the end of last month,
nearly one point three million illegal aliens. This is not

(01:25:09):
the total, but these are the ones that were released
into the country without any hassles under that CBP one app,
you know the app they devisee so they could bypass
all that border nonsense and just fly on in and
have it all cleared. Well, that equals the population of
Dallas illegals that they brought in administration also approving new

citizenship and therefore write to vote and take all the
benefits at the fastest rate of the last ten years.

Speaker 15 (01:25:41):
This could be another effort to get more Democrat voters
ahead of November.

Speaker 16 (01:25:45):
Well, this has been the goal of the Biden Harris
administration from the beginning, that they want to reshape the
American electorate.

Speaker 15 (01:25:51):
Breitbart's Bob Price told KGRH these new voters might actually
hurt the Democrats by voting against open border policies.

Speaker 16 (01:25:58):
Generally, people that go through the legal process to go
through the expense and stand in line to become American
citizens tend to resent the illegal immigration.

Speaker 15 (01:26:07):

new citizens can have a huge effect on down ballot

Speaker 17 (01:26:29):
I think a real sense of urgency here across the
region on the need to get this over the finish line,
and to do it as soon as possible. The United

getting it done.

Heritage Foundation defense expert Robert Greenway tells Fox the billions

Russia's economy is growing, It's a full percentage point greater

reconstituting their military.

Speaker 6 (01:27:23):
As a result of it.

Speaker 19 (01:27:23):
It does appear unless we see a strategy from the
president and real leadership, this conflict will continue and we'll
have an incredible cost on the people of Ukraine and frankly,
the American taxpayer.

Next on the ten, twenty twenty four Democrat platform is
just as well, becaus you might suspect it is. It
opens by declaring that America is built on stolen land.
Uh huh. It opens with what they call a land
acknowledgment that we took this land away from the Native Americans.

(01:28:46):
How did they get here? Well, when did they get
There's a lot of theories about that that they exactly
that they came across, you know, from Europe to the
Bearing Straits when there was still a land mass there
in order to come over. We don't know for one
hundred percent certainly where they came from. But here's what
we do know. Is written right in the platform they

(01:29:06):
talk about because the convention is in Chicago, they talk
about all the Native American tribes that had called at
one point or another Chicago home and they list them
and they includes the Uh, the Mayamaya, the Hot Chunk,
the Menominee, Sack Fox, Peoria, kal Kaskia, we Kickapoo, and

(01:29:30):
they list about ten or twelve different tribes. Now here's
what we do know. These tribes didn't live together.

Speaker 9 (01:29:38):
No, they wiped each other out, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:29:40):
They fought with each other to take the land.

Speaker 8 (01:29:43):
Yeah, the command you wiped out the Apache in the
Caronqua here in Texas, and the Caddos.

Speaker 6 (01:29:48):
Uh huh.

Speaker 7 (01:29:49):
So what we're dealing with here is that the land
was always stolen from somebody, you know, So you have
to figure out who the first Native American tribe to
settle there was, the first human being too settled there was,
and that's who you quote unquote stole the land from
every country I can think of based on how they
acknowledged stolen land is stolen land? Is Mexico not stolen land?

Speaker 21 (01:30:12):
Right?

Speaker 7 (01:30:12):
Did the Spanish conclusa doors not come and steal it
away from the Native Mexicans?

Speaker 8 (01:30:16):
They weren't Mexicans. They were astechs s text and Mayan
wipe them out. Mexicans were the inner marriage.

foreign entities such as China. Originally, the Texas Farm Bureau

Speaker 6 (01:35:49):
Russell A.

Speaker 7 (01:35:50):
Banning joins us he's president of the Texas Farm Bureau.
I know it's always kind of been the stance in
the past, Russell, that you you folks, took a hands
off approach. In other words, it's your life and you
should be able to sell your land to anyone you want.
What changed your mind as it relates to countries' foreign
entities like China.

Speaker 32 (01:36:08):
Well, good morning, Jimmy, and thanks for the opportunity. Well,
I guess number one, I'm going to have to say,
we didn't change our mind. Our policy is still our
policy that was set. We set our policy once a year.
Our members do that. It's a grassroots process. Our position
was misrepresented totally and completely. We testified at a hearing

(01:36:33):
July twenty fourth. We spoke of our policy. We told
them what our policy was, and quite frankly and honestly,
we do not have policy explicitly banning foreign ownership.

Speaker 6 (01:36:49):
That is true.

Speaker 8 (01:36:50):
What is your policy? Why don't you tell us what
the policy is?

Speaker 32 (01:36:54):
Our policy? Our policy is that private property rights organization
very strong.

Speaker 8 (01:37:03):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:37:04):
And and I.

Speaker 32 (01:37:05):
Guess to just I don't have it written in front
of me, but I'm gonna paraphrase it.

Speaker 26 (01:37:09):
Uh.

Speaker 32 (01:37:10):
We we are in favor of people being able to
sell their land with and we are we are against
foreign ownership if it affects right now the way our
policy reads, if it affects distorts markets, if it distorts
our food supply, and and and and kind of would

(01:37:31):
give them an unfair advantage uh, in the production of food.
Uh So that kind of sums up our policy. Now,
there were two bills introduced in the last Texas session
and that that explicitly banned foreign ownership, uh from our
especially from our adversaries, and we did not oppose those bills.

Speaker 23 (01:37:54):
Uh.

Speaker 32 (01:37:54):
So I guess from from a point of view, it's yeah,
it's kind of a gray area. It's kind of a fine.

Speaker 21 (01:38:01):
Uh.

Speaker 32 (01:38:01):
But that's where our policy is now. And let me
just finish with this. We are we go through this
every fall. As far as policy development, it comes from
our counties. Uh, and they are in the process of
doing that right now. Uh. We didn't know that those
bills were going to be introduced last session. We do

(01:38:22):
know that they're going to be introduced again in some
form or fashion. I do expect our policy to be
tweaked somewhat. I say tweaked it. It may be changed dramatically.

Speaker 8 (01:38:33):
Well, you're not you're not really trying to advocate one
way or another. You're just saying now that you will
not oppose if the legislature decides to ban foreign ownership
from adversaries specifically, because that's correct, okay.

Speaker 32 (01:38:49):
Correct, And if our and if our policy changes, uh somewhat,
we we may you know, we may quite frankly be
in favor of those bills. So again, it's kind of
it was kind of a timing issue.

Speaker 7 (01:39:02):
It sounds it sounds like Russell, your policy kind of
it depends on the membership, is what the membership wants, right.

Speaker 6 (01:39:09):
That's correct. That is very correct.

Speaker 8 (01:39:10):
So I'm a member, I know how I feel about it.

Speaker 7 (01:39:15):
And I think you've probably heard from a lot of
other members who feel the same way. We haven't leave
it at that for now, we have to run surface.

Speaker 9 (01:39:21):
We thank you for coming on shocking.

Donald Trump campaigning in York Pennsylvania, a battleground state with
sizable oil reserves, with Kamala Harris, by the way, on
record is banning fracking.

Speaker 11 (01:42:18):
The number one step we will take to launch a
great American manufacturing renaissance will be to end Kamala Harris's
war in American energy.

Speaker 6 (01:42:28):
It's a war.

Speaker 8 (01:42:29):
Trump will be all over the battleground states this week, Michigan,
North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada. The Democrats officially kicking off
their convention in Chicago yesterday, Joe Biden gave what amounted

tried to breach the second inside fence. It's now seven
thirty three, seventy seven days to election day. The organization
called Vote for America was trying to reach out to
younger voters. Conservative voters who might be more open to
voting for Republicans than they were before me are.

Speaker 26 (01:44:00):
The most conservative they've been in decades, and I think
part of that is the rose colored glasses are coming down.

Speaker 8 (01:44:07):
Data just don't want to be communists. Political analyst Nick
Linquist told kg RH young voters need to hear the
normal message in an honest way. Texas Congressman Lance Gooden
has sent a letter on to Google meantime, demanding answers
after that big tech giant manipulated search engine results in
order to show actually altered headlines favorable to Kamala Harris.

(01:44:33):
AI continuing to grow, and so does the hype about it.
But what about the reality starting to set in?

Speaker 28 (01:44:41):
The optimism has been overblown and people are seeing the
light and not.

Speaker 27 (01:44:44):
Doing all the things that people say it is. And
really it just comes down to people misunderstanding what artificial
intelligence actually is, but it actually does.

parents were accused of not preventing their then underage son
from committing the massacre. He's now an adult in a
mental facility judged in comp agent just stand trial. Texas

(01:46:02):
lawmakers responding after the Texas Farm Bureau basically kind of
pulled a switch, though we learn maybe not so much.
It will not oppose a ban on land sales to
communists China and proxies at the legislature forwards.

Speaker 30 (01:46:16):
One which raises the question just how much land does
China already own in Texas.

Speaker 21 (01:46:24):
China owns about one hundred and eighty thousand acres in
the state of Texas. One hundred and thirty thousand of
that is closest to an air Force base in Del Rio.

Speaker 30 (01:46:33):
That's Russell Bainning, president of the Texas Farm Bureau. Last year,
the Texas Senate has to build banning China, Russia, Iran,
and North Korea from buying Texas land, but that was
killed in the House. State Senator Charles Perry tells k
tier H he expects a different outcome next session.

Speaker 34 (01:46:53):
I think he's got.

Speaker 19 (01:46:54):
Momentum in the House, so I do think you'll see
a foreign land ownership bill get through the next session.

Speaker 30 (01:46:59):
Over ninety five five percent of Texas Republican voters are
in favor of a ban. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 8 (01:47:08):
Yeah, we just talked to the president of the Texas
Farm Bureau, go to KTIH dot com. He answered all
of our questions about it. They didn't exactly flip flop,
but you know, Texas farmers for the most part, don't
want government controlling who you can sell your land to,
certainly not your food supply.

Speaker 9 (01:47:24):
They do oppose it, though.

Speaker 8 (01:47:26):
If it's going to ever series in terms of hurting
our food supply, they're going to adjust their policy moving forward,
he told us. Looking at our financial bottom lines. In
twenty twenty one, Kanala Harris was front and center ballyhooing
how we're going to have lower prices for internet access.

Speaker 31 (01:47:45):

I'm sure you already heard this, but just to make
sure you did, Jory have found the parents of a
former Santa Fe High School student who killed ten and
moved did several others when he opened fire and Centify
High School back in twenty eighteen, not responsible for the
son's actions, which I must have been surprised me. I'm
surprised by that verdict. Then I was, But then again
I wasn't there. I didn't hear the testimment.

Speaker 8 (01:49:14):
Well, I looked at some of the pool video. You know,
they pulled in that the gun safes, the keys, the
locks that you know, what they took is precautions right right.

Speaker 7 (01:49:24):
Instead, they found that the shooter himself certainly was liable
for what he had done, along with the company that
provided him with the ammunition. Although they've already reached a
separate settlement as it relates to that three hundred and
thirty million dollars, I want to say, not that, not
that that money's ever going to materialize. The shooter obviously
doesn't have that money. He's not going to be able
to pay any of those damages. And who knows if

(01:49:46):
he'll even ever go to trial when you get right
down to it, because you know, right seventeen at the time,
right and right now he's in SNY.

Speaker 9 (01:49:53):
It was twenty eighteen and he's in a facility.

Speaker 6 (01:49:55):
I don't know, ye.

Speaker 8 (01:49:56):
You know, the sister of the shooter daughter testified on
behalf of the parents, and I think that that probably
had a lot of means.

Speaker 7 (01:50:05):
They probably didn't have a lot of way sure, and
you know, if they took what precautions they could. I
think the question always is why didn't he get more
help than what he was getting for his mental illness?
Why didn't they take more extreme steps? You know, did
they have a clue that he might be capable of
doing something like this?

Speaker 8 (01:50:24):
Maybe his system let him down, Maybe maybe you know,
always a possibility.

Speaker 7 (01:50:31):

What's going on with the drives?

Speaker 4 (01:50:35):
Guy Mike, Well, just depends on what side of town
you're on, Jimmy Barrett. First of all, Katie Freeway, the
visors are having a rough time right after before Grand Parkway.
I've been to barker Cypruss, but as the Katie goes.

Speaker 5 (01:50:46):
It's not bad. Inside the loop that's where we had
the problems. Washington.

Speaker 4 (01:50:50):
They've cleared that wreck. I'm looking under the rail bridge.
How did they get that graffiti on there? In bound,
we look like we're much much improved. You're going to
hit some brakes after Heights Boulevard. Put that together. There's
all twelve minutes here Southwest Freeway. Lot of cram ups.
Now after he'll croft solid wall o breaks, especially if
you're trying to get on the ramp that takes you
to the west Loop to the Galleria and more breaks

(01:51:11):
right after Greenway Plaza, just stopping and going thirty extra minutes.
I've been to downtown both sides of the loop on
the north side, Terry, since your hazardous westbound at the
squeeze at forty five, but didn't find the wreck, but
it's still reported on the east text I'll bet toe
treutt ninjas obstruck. North Loops backed up from LBJ Hospital
back to Sheppard.

Speaker 5 (01:51:30):
We lose thirty minutes that way.

Speaker 4 (01:51:32):
South Loops starting to spackle from MLK to NRG going
that way, Golf Freeway, a lot of breaks from Edgebrook
and the toll bridge. Suckage continues eighteen minutes southbound. He's
texts Freeway Old Out from Kingwood.

Speaker 31 (01:51:45):

to a rank and road.

Speaker 32 (01:51:49):
Unfortunately, if you didn't do a very big job parking there.

Speaker 23 (01:51:52):
Look out kind of the way.

Speaker 4 (01:51:56):
Two interesting things about Old Out from Kingwood Number one, Terry,
he's not actual old and two is a great artist.
I want to see if he'll put something on my
Facebook here, maybe the blue Moon put up there. I
got to throw in two eighty eight Croy Road northbound.

Time to check inv Terry Smith, then find out about
chances of hitting a high is all the way up
to one oh board today at least in a few spots.

Speaker 22 (01:52:27):
Yes, I think most of Southeast Texas will be in
the triple digits. Closer to the coast you are, you
might see those upper nineties. But it's going to be sunny,
hot and dry through Friday, with temperatures tomorrow upper nineties
to one oh three. So there are excessive heat warnings
that are in effect today through tomorrow night because of

(01:52:49):
the hotter temperatures and the continuation of the high humidity.

Speaker 9 (01:52:53):
Are heat and disease are going to be close to
one fifteen for a lot of places.

Speaker 22 (01:52:56):
So that's not the kind of weather you really want
to spend much time outside. Thursday and Friday, it's just
a wee bit cooler, mid nineties to near one hundred
both days and the weekend. That's when we start to
get some rain Saturday and Sunday, so that'll help the
bump the temperatures down. And it's been a while since
we've had some rain, so expect the wet weather. It
looks like to continue into the early part of next week.

Compare that to twenty twenty one, when the Texas power
grid went dark.

Speaker 38 (01:57:00):
Kamala Harris didn't just put out a tweet. She called
me to make sure we had what we needed. Over
the years, I've learned that Kamala Harris always calls, and
not only does she call, she delivers.

Speaker 9 (01:57:23):
The very week she launched.

Speaker 25 (01:57:26):
Her campaign, she was down in Texas with vitle FEMA
assistants right after Hurricane Beryl. Kamala Harris cares, she will
never risk lives for the sake of politics.

Speaker 7 (01:57:41):
No, but you would. You would, Lena, You would rest
lie for the sake of politics. Who ignored the governor
when the governor tried the gold? The lieutenant governor tried
the gold?

Speaker 9 (01:57:50):
Isn't her office under investigation?

Speaker 21 (01:57:52):
Yah?

Speaker 6 (01:57:53):
Yeah? Money exactly right?

Speaker 7 (01:57:57):
Okay, but you watching the Kabla Harris cares, she called?

Speaker 6 (01:58:04):
Did you talk to her because you wouldn't talk to
the lieutenant governor?

Speaker 9 (01:58:07):
Did she really called?

Speaker 7 (01:58:08):
Did she really see the law? Did she really call?
Seven hurricanes?

Speaker 5 (01:58:13):
I remember?

Speaker 9 (01:58:14):
Were you there to take the call.

Speaker 7 (01:58:17):
Did you miss the other five share because I don't
remember too since she's been in office.

Speaker 6 (01:58:22):
Unbelievable. Well, you know, she's Lena doing what Leina does.

Speaker 7 (01:58:26):
I I hope the only the only bright spot I
could see of of Uh, you know, Democrats having some
control in Washington, d C. Is if they somehow decide
that she's a rising star and they want to take
her to Washington d C.

Speaker 8 (01:58:39):
Thought was she was AOC look alike. Well, AOC spoke
and there's a far cry between those two. No, I
mean yesterday, I'm just watching them, you know, without the
sound I was watching.

Speaker 6 (01:58:52):
Yeah, well you know, I'm sure, I'm sure she was.

Speaker 8 (01:58:55):
I was commenting to you. It's amazing to me what
the anchors were the TV anchors.

Speaker 6 (01:58:58):
Oh yeah, pink for.

Speaker 8 (01:59:01):
The women and actually on Fox this morning, a purple tie.

Speaker 6 (01:59:06):
Okay, well there you go they go.

Speaker 9 (01:59:07):
Weren't wearing purple and pink gold? There are the RNC.

Speaker 7 (01:59:11):
