Right now seventy three at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty KTRH. It's time now for the news.

(01:29):
Here's Sheriff Fryer and good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Everyone is HOEW five oh one on news radio seven
forty KTRH. Our top story this hour of thee thousands
forty five thousand strong doc walkers returning to work today.
They have an agreed pause while the union considers an
encompassing contract. What has been offered a sixty two percent
wage increase over six years. The rest of union demands

(01:52):
are still on the table. They will resume July January fifteen.
Former President Trump and Anther the massive rally in Saginaw, Michigan,
spoke about the port strike and the union demands on
protections against automation on their jobs.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
They work hard, They don't want to lose their jobs
to machinery and equipment than other things.

Speaker 8 (02:15):
And by the way, I.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
Know a lot of places where they've gone totally hogwild
while got rid of almost everybody. And we're talking about.

Speaker 9 (02:23):
Around the world.

Speaker 7 (02:24):
They don't work so well because you can't talk to
a machine.

Speaker 10 (02:29):
Hmm.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
Weighing in for the workers. Kamala Harris taking the stage
in Rippin' Wisconsin, joined by a former Wyoming Republican congresswoman, Yeah,
Liz Cheney.

Speaker 11 (02:41):
Liz Cheney really is a leader who puts country above
party and above self, a true patriot. And it is
my profound honor, my profound honor to have your support.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Yeah, consider the timing. Now we got Biden Harris regime
getting another chance to buy the student vote. There's a
federal judge in Georgia who has allowed that temporary restraining
order that prohibited it to expire just weeks before election day. Ultimately,
if Harris is elected, it will work its way through

(03:13):
appeals back to the US Supreme Court, which has already
ruled this scheme is illegal. Not only are we all
in a battle to save America, we are also in
the midst of a continually raging information war.

Speaker 12 (03:30):
And ChIL Larry Kfish, a retired colonel with the US Marines,
has been writing and speaking out about it.

Speaker 13 (03:37):
We are being attacked right now in multiple fronts, and
this is what we call sixth generation warfare.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
And the goal is simple.

Speaker 13 (03:45):
It's really about control and power. They want to control
every aspect of life. But for them, they will be
living well and they will get to play God. For we,
it'll be hell on earth.

Speaker 12 (03:56):
The only way to stop it, he says, is with
the truth. Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven k T ORH.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
Have you noticed how mainstream media actually eulogizes hamas and
hesiblit terrorists When they get brought down.

Speaker 14 (04:14):
The liberal media in their sun and concern for fairness
and objectivity when reporting on mass terrorists, they decide that
they need to inject some sort of positive.

Speaker 15 (04:25):
Energy into these obituaries.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
That's Chris Hawk. He's managing director of Media Research Center's NewsBusters.
He says media outlsts could be more biased in the
reporting of left versus right, Democrat versus Republican, or even
sovereignty American sovereignty or other countries sovereignty versus terrorists. And

(04:50):
there's wokeness in the US military, and it's getting worse.
Leak membos showing that the Air Force ROTC now has
no interest in admitting white men.

Speaker 16 (05:04):
This is blatant discrimination against white people and it's completely illegal.

Speaker 17 (05:08):
To me, that's extremely concerning. People need to be fired
over it. They need to be a condessional investigation. Congress
needed to do an audit and pull the financial resources
that have allowed the discrimination to occur.

Speaker 16 (05:17):
Retired Army captain and JAG lawyer Sean Timmins told KTRH,
this just proves the military has gone completely woke.

Speaker 17 (05:23):
That is not conducive to protection of our country, and
that is in opposition to their claim that they support
equal opportunity.

Speaker 16 (05:31):
Timman says that anyone who believes they were kept out
of the ROTC program due to their race may have
standing to sue. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Our newssime now is coming up on five oh six.
So much for American self reliance. There's a new report
showing that the highest percentage ever of Americans now require
even demand some form of government assistance as part of
their assistance is part of their income. Heritage Foundation Economisy

(06:00):
Jay and Tony says this entitlement society began with FDR
in his New Deal, and it continued with LBJ in
the New Society as a way to keep Democrats doling
out the money and in perpetual power.

Speaker 18 (06:16):
The result has been an ever increasing and ever growing
government that continues to play Santa Claus to the point
where now that's how a politician gets elected.

Speaker 19 (06:25):
They promise to give you more than their opponent will.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, we have such a huge proportion of voters reliant
now on government to give them income. Neither party really
has much incentive to actually cut this giveaway. It's now
coming up on five oh seven shrinkeflation in restaurants now,
even as one survey finds more than three out of

(06:49):
four Americans actually say they prefer these smaller portions if
they can get them for smaller prices at restaurants.

Speaker 20 (06:59):
For so portions have continued to get bigger. There are
a number of different circumstances that are now turning the
tide in the other direction, and people are more willing
to accept smaller portions.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Jonathan Horowitz, president of the Houston Hospitality Alliance ARE, says
rising costs inflation making people want to pay less for
some sit down food experiences. Well, it's a day later,
the Astro season coming to a sudden end. But general
manager Dana Brown, he says, no, they're just looking ahead

(07:39):
now to the off season and next year what they're
going to.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
Do, whether it's making trades or you know, signing a
free agent or not taking anything off the table. So
the main focus would be to get back to the
postseason again and to go as deep as we can
go and get back to the World service.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, he wants to keep Alex Bregman, who's now a
free agent. Negotiations with Bregman just beginning. Jimmy, I love that.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Good luck on that.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
I love that guy.

Speaker 13 (08:07):
Now.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
I'm sure refriar on news radio seven forty KTRH every day.

Speaker 21 (08:11):
The most important day is election day. You're gonna hear
every single bit.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Of information when you we like to listen to the
Electric use Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
If the Union boss, if the international team, I was
gonna say teamsters, because you know what, Harold Daggett sounds
like a teamster. He's how I remember teamsters from back
of the day. He sounds like Jimmy Hoffer. I think
maybe he thinks he is Jimmy Hoffer.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
He grew up in Queens, New York. Uh huh, same
neighborhood as Donald Trump. There you go, and they're about
the same age.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
I think, seventy eight, seventy eight years old. I think, uh.
I think President Trump's a little bit more used to
the modern world than Harold Daggatt is. Though he recently
gave an interview where he railed against self checkout machines
and the easy pass. He would like to go back
to the days where union workers were in told booz

(09:04):
and you had to stop and pay.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
Well, that's his job.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
I get that, but we're not going back to that world,
mister Daggett. I'm sorry to tell you.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
Look, it's not the question from in my mind about automation.
It's about who's in control of the automated stuff, who
can hack it, who's in control, who manufactures it, who
places bugs in it. We've already gone through that with China.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Well, that's your issue, that's not how Zaget's issue.

Speaker 6 (09:31):
My issue.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yeah, his issue.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
I wish he to talk about that.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Well, he doesn't care about that. He cares about the jobs.
And by the way, I'm sure everybody is celebrating to
a certain extent this morning. Hey, the strike is over,
I can stop hoarding toilet paper. But the fact of
the matter is, it's just delayed. Ain't It's not over.
They've extended the contract until January the fifteenth. They're still
going to be negotiating on this automation thing.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
When Biden will still be president.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah. Guess what. The White House was the one that
got this deal done. But they didn't. They didn't get
the deal done with the union. Reportedly, they just strong
armed the Maritime Alliance.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Make it answer The Maritime Alliance is, yes, exactly, it's globalist. Uh. Well,
it's not just that, it's the plot international companies. It's uh,
it's Turkey, it's China. I mean the ownership of a
lot of these things, they're not all American.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Well, it's also threats from the federal government of what
they'll do with the ports if you don't get this
thing settled, because we have an election coming up and
this is not good for us. Of course, they should
have done that back in July instead of waiting until
the last second.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Let me tell you the whole thing about imports, exports,
Donald Trump wrote the book on that, and he's been
very outspoken about it. So you know, he can't do
anything because he's not president. But the implied thing is there, gotcha.
I don't believe that. I'm not going to give the
credit to Joe Biden for this.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
You don't think I had anything to do with the
Biden administration.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
I think that they're the administration and they're in they're
the ones who can call those shots. But I think
that there are globalists all over the place, and there
are other countries all over the place, and they can
follow our elections and they know exactly what somebody who
is running for president and will be in offices.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Saying okay, you know, think you were going down an
entirely different road than I was going down. You took
a right turn and I took a left turn. I
guess all right, not a problem, not a problem. We'll
we'll meet up somewhere in the middle. Your sky might
be bring up to day.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, we got enough lane that sher can just jump
on any lane she wants on.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Put her on the express lane. She likes that.

Speaker 21 (11:37):
Let's put you know.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
What, She's kind of a big shot, if you think
about it. She's an icon. Let's put it on the
hardy toll road and you got your toll stickers. You
look good. Spring down and easy. Nineteen minutes. I drove
really close to the speed limit this morning. I elsewear
your belt. Wait, north Sam, you have that spackle at
west Aldeen Westfield going westbound. No big deal, now, just
what this is when you really need to watch shot

(12:00):
for other stations listeners, So it just sneaks up on them.
You know they've got their mouth open thinking about something else,
and that's where they hit that little squeeze down two
left lanes at Alding Westfield that's westbound, and then Imperial
Valley eastbound. Lookout for him there too. I got ghetto Dave,
get out of here forty five dude, Hey.

News Radio seven forty KTRH CBS Miami was at the
at the port when the announcement was beamed to the
rank and file that they had suspended the strike, although
although it was interesting that the local president doesn't refer
to it as suspended. He says the strike is over.

(13:37):
But at any rate, here is the reaction of the
head of the Miami International Longshoreman's Association Union on the settlement.

Speaker 24 (13:47):
Every sort to Jay, right now, I want to bring
in the president of the International long Stormers Association Local
fifteen to twenty six, correct, Johnny Dason, Johnny, tell me
walk me through the moments leading up to the deal.

Speaker 25 (13:57):
All right, honey, you know, unfortunately, actually we reached it
in past with the USMX come September thirtieth. We remember,
I remembers that I gave deep They said if they
don't get a fair contract, they're gonna walk, and that's
what they did.

Speaker 24 (14:12):
And so are we looking at a suspension or were
looking at an end of the strike?

Speaker 10 (14:16):
This is this is this was the end of a strike.

Speaker 25 (14:18):
All of our members who will be returning to work
tomorrow morning, so the supply chain roll will picture will
be over.

Speaker 25 (14:52):
Oh man, listen, it's we just got the first part
of Neil dumbwhich which was a significant wait wave. Then
priests were released all those details later. But we I mean,
because I'm happy to say this was the highest wage
to increase.

Speaker 10 (15:03):
In the history of America.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
I don't know about that, but if it isn't, it's
got to be pretty dog on close.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
Yeah, what is it? Sixty five percent increase in wages
over six years? I mean, you know, so it's arise
on that and see.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
That won't be inflationary, will it.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Well, I mean, I forgot it may not be sixty
five I've forgotten how much it was an hour. It

Speaker 6 (15:29):
I was reading all the details, all those numbers of rules,
you know, I was doing it at two o'clock in
the morning.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
I just feel compelled to point out the ripple effect
of this, which of course will be higher shipping cost
which means, you know, well, we'll all be paying for
it in a variety of different ways. They'll be higher
shipping costs involved in shipping process.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
You have a different presidency and you and all of
a sudden tariffs and trades and economies and everything changes, right,
But that won't be if you continue this regime. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
And alternate next on the ten line seven KTRH borning news.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
All right, So, yesterday President Biden was asked about whether
or not he would support Israel going after Iran's nuclear facilities,
to which he said, no, we need to respond proportionately. Well,
Israel's going to do what Israel's going to do. And
good for them for doing it, because we evidently don't
have the guts. So here is General Keith Kellogg responding

(18:56):
to what the Israelis are likely to do next in
dealing with your own.

Speaker 27 (19:00):
His comment is they need to respond proportionally. That's not
how the Israelis do it. They've got a doctor called dahiya,
which is disproportionate response when an attack. Look, here's there's
two strategic targets in Iran that they can go after.
What is the Supreme Leader with Supreme Leader homon A
as a personal attack and they've done that with hamas
they did with Haswell taken about Or they can go

(19:21):
after the nuclear facilities, and there's actually three of them.
There's Isfahan, the tons Florido, and in the ease of
attacking Isfahan's the closest one to Israel. Then you got
an Tonscot Florida, which is near Tehran, harder to get to.
They've already taken out air defense sites in the last
time around Isfahan. If I was recommending to them, and
I'm not, I would say go after both. I mean,

(19:42):
this is you finally reached a point where enough is
enough and they need to go forward. You know, what's
amazing to me is that we as a nation, we
the United States, have repeatedly said we cannot allow a
Ran to have a nuclear weapon, and then when the
Israelis get ready to go, we said, oh, respond proportionally
eighty declared the they need to do something very strong
on this. And I think they have an opportunity to

(20:03):
do it in the near term. And do I think
they will. Yeah, I think there's two strategic targets they
have an opportunity to go after. I think they'll go
after at least one of those two. Honestly, I think
he's risk averse. He doesn't want to go in, honey,
what he calls escalation. They need to do it.

Speaker 21 (20:16):
Really, there's really really three key sides.

Speaker 27 (20:18):
That's Yesfahan, Natanz and fourd oh sides because that's where

port strike is over, at least for now, this source
tells Fox Business.

Speaker 29 (23:24):
Conditional offer has been made to the International Longshoreman's Association
centered around as sixty two percent wage increase. Some forty
five thousand DOC workers have agreed to suspend their strike
until January fifteenth, so there's enough time to negotiate a
new contract. However, if no full deal is reached by then,

(23:45):
the offer with a wage hike will be pulled from
the table. The board operators offers being made on the
condition that dock workers go back to work and agree
to efficiency gains the union set on facebook effective immediately.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Work will resume till NATO Fox News. Oil prices, by
the way, they've been going down over the last quarter,
but Tim Stewart, president of the US Oil and Gas Association,
says be looking for the price hikes they're coming.

Speaker 30 (24:14):
There's a lot of pressure right now with the Middle East,
and at least in the short term, I think you're
probably going to see at least a short term price
spike that could get us up close to one hundred
dollars in barrel.

Speaker 6 (24:24):
The way energy required also for rebuilding after Hurricane Helene
adds to future demands, and the temporary port strike also
added immediately to a future's outlook that may lessen. Now.
More bodies have been uncovered daily in Southeastern states that
were hit by Hurricane Helene. It's now the deadly storm

(24:45):
to hit our mainland since Hurricane Katrina. The official death
toll right now at least two hundred and fifteen, and
it's counting. Joe Biden delivered remarks at Shiloh Pecan Farms
in Raised City, Georgia, yesterday.

Speaker 31 (25:01):
This entire project is going to cost billions of dollars,
not tens of thousands, not millions, not a billion, billions.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
Of dollars, But the FEDS won't be paying for it.
FEMA has already diverted tens of millions providing illegal alien housing.
Their not much help right now.

Speaker 32 (25:18):
We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that
we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. FEMA does
not have the funds to make it through the season.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro miw York is there. Just last week,
the Biden heroes regime was bragging about sending billions more
diverted from FEMA, billions more dollars to Ukraine. Donald Trump
drew another massive rally in Saginaw, Michigan, and he didn't
miss words earlier in the day with Fox News on
the Liz Cheney endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
Liz Cheney is a stupid warhawk. All she wants to
do is shoot missiles at paper.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
President Trump returns tomorrow to Butler, Pennsylvania. He will finish
the rally that was interrupted by the July thirteen assassination attempt,
the bullet in his face from George Soros to state
level election officials, left wings swamp, boy, have they ever risen.
They're working hard all across the board to get Kamala elected.

Speaker 16 (26:24):
They've mastered the art of gaming the system without breaking
any laws.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
There's no law that can stop it. You're allowed to
buy radio stations.

Speaker 15 (26:31):
You're allowed to dictate elections if you were the secretary
of state of any given state.

Speaker 16 (26:36):
Chris Johnson with the College Republicans says the only way
for Republicans to stop this is to win more.

Speaker 15 (26:41):
We can win and do it the right way without
being sought. One of the biggest reasons we can do
that is the democratic agenda. The corrective agenda is wildly unpopular.

Speaker 16 (26:51):
Johnson says, if Republicans communicate how radical Democrats are, they
can win key victories and break down the Democrat machine.

It is now five thirty six. Massive endowments of the
University of Texas system and Texas A and M did
you know they're managed by an investment group that has
utilized some pretty strong arm tactics in order to push
guess what, DEI and liberal agendas. Valerie Munoz or Texas

(27:25):
Scorecards says five manager groups under Utimco, including JP Morgan,
they are wielding funds and thus power politically.

Speaker 33 (27:36):
These votes are political in nature, and that violates the
way that the endowment funds are meant to be used.
So the endowment funds can only be used for things
relating to the universities. They should not be political.

Speaker 6 (27:53):
So far, neither school responding to that report, it is
five thirty seven. Well, yes, that automated systems made out
of customer service. Many Americans are now getting pretty nervous
about how AI can make the situation even worse. Jimmy's
among them.

Speaker 19 (28:12):
In some instances, it's working, in others it's not.

Speaker 15 (28:14):
It all kind of comes down to how things get deployed.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
See how effective they're actually gonna be.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
That's Matt Rosen, He's founder and CEO of a lot
of He says, in the end, the most effective use
of AI and customer service will be combining it with
actual human representatives. Does somebody not yell at you exactly.
I'm shere a friar on news radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 18 (28:46):
I usually take iten west, but lately that's been a nightmare.

KTRH time saving traffic. Next on the ten.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
If there's anybody in this building, or anybody that I personally.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
Know who's cantankerous enough.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
To know we're not talking about contekers.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Tankers, I'm sorry. I came out of the shoot just contanker.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
You're a little little high strung today, but that's okay,
that's all right. We all have our days. You are
probably the only person I know that might I'm not
saying you do, but might have a five hundred dollars bill.
Do you have a five hundred dollar bill?

Speaker 6 (29:19):
No, I've seen one, though.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Do you have a one thousand dollars bill?

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Saw one? I went over to US coins and jewelry
and I saw them.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
And do you have a ten thousand dollars bill?

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Not excited?

Speaker 4 (29:29):
No? No, A lot of people never have. Some people
don't even know they exist. Paper can burn, I know,
I get that.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Not a good thing. Where would you keep it?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Well, here's here's the thing, and there's evidently there's only
two types of individuals who have five hundred dollar bills,
thousand dollar bills, or ten thousand dollars bills, and that
is either a collector or a criminal, which is why
they took the five hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand
dollar bills out of circulation to begin with. It's because
they were being used almost exclusi by criminals. But if

(30:01):
you just happen to have one, or you know somebody
who does, they're taking it a step further. The Bureau
of Engraving, Secret Service and Advanced Counterfeit to Terrence Steering
Committee have launched an initiative to require US stores, businesses, banks,
and ATMs to stop accepting five hundred dollar bills, one
thousand dollars bills, or ten thousand dollars bills. The excuse

(30:24):
they say is they're going to call it mutilated money.
That's the only way that it can no longer be
considered legal tender is if it's mutilated. So they're going
to put that designation on those bills. So even if
you had one, how do they do that? If you
have a pristine collector's edition, you know, five hundred dollars
bill that is in perfect shape, doesn't. I mean it
could they You can consider a bill mutilated even if

(30:47):
it like it's split or or has discoloration or something else.
The problem is that they have no way of knowing
whether it's a legitimate bill or not because none of
the security measures ever put in but wherever put into
those bills, the new ones, yeah, yeah, and they haven't
produced they haven't produced a new ones.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
Well, not to mention that talk about if you're a smuggler,
it's a lot easier to bring in a few five
thousand dollars bills, and it is to bring in palace
of cash. Sure Obama flew over to Iran.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
Yeah, So for that one person who might actually have one,
you should know you can't take that to water Burger
and get a get a hamburger anymore. You're gonna have
to you can make the change. That's the other problem,
probably right, Yeah, could you get gay you got change
for a ten thousand dollars bill.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
And I'd like that all in quarters please.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yeah, Or if you go to the bank, make them
give it to you pennies. So if you have one
and you want to be reimverse for it, you have
to go through a whole thing. You have to contact
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing directly. You have to
file a mutilated currency claim, which gives you a step
by step guide to redeeming mutilated currency. I mean this

(31:55):
is for those of you who have a metal detector
that one day discover a little tiny safe buried in
your backyard that has a couple of ten thousand dollars
bills in it, which are all mutilated and nasty. That's
who that impacts. I guess five forty time for traffic
and whether it's together.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
A good idea to walk around with five hundred dollars bills.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
If you have a five hundred dollars bill, Sky Mike,
we'd like to see you in here right now.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I think I'm gonna see it. I'm going to spin

It's five point fifty now here in Houston's Morning News.
It feels like more and more Americans are more and
more reliant than ever on government aid. I mean, welfare
is one thing. Food stamps that's one thing, Unemployment benefits
that's that's one thing. Things that give people a hand up.
I've never had a problem with that. What I have
an issue with are socialist programs that make people dependent
on the government for the rest of their lives. Ej

When we like to listen as a kid the Electric

Speaker 4 (36:35):
EJ Antoni's with us. He's an economists at the Heritage Foundation.
I don't think it's our imagination, is it?

Speaker 16 (36:40):
EJ?

Speaker 4 (36:41):
That we have more and more Americans reliant on government aid,
and more and more government aid coming for Americans.

Speaker 13 (36:48):
No, Jamie, I think.

Speaker 19 (36:49):
That's exactly right, and it's scary just how much aid
people can get. The reason it's scary is not that
we don't want to give people a hand up, as
you were saying earlier, but the fact that it traps
people on welfare forever. It puts people in a situation
where it actually incentivizes them to never go back to work.

Speaker 6 (37:10):
Yeah, you know, I mean just something really basic too.
Aid to Family with Dependent Children af DC is what
we used to call it here in Texas. The more
children you had out of wedlock, the more money you
got paid. Or right after the Biden administration takes over,
they suddenly what quaudrupled the snap what was on snap cards?

(37:31):
All of a sudden, everybody was starving. I mean, is
those type of incremental things, and then once you give
that money out, you can't claude.

Speaker 19 (37:40):
Back right share exactly. You bring up a great point
where you essentially incentivize people not only to never go
back to work, but also to do things that basically
aren't very good for society, like having kids out of wedlock.
You know, the best environment to raise children is in
a parent household, to have the mother and the father present.

(38:03):
But instead, what we have done is created a financial
incentive for these women to have more children out of wedlock. Again,
it's just not good for the kids. Raising children in
a fatherless home is one of the best predictors of
things like lifetime poverty, drug use, even early death.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
You know, I hate to say this, but that is
permeated so far into our society. Now, this whole idea
of having children out of wedlock, it's normal, It's become normal.
The majority of kids born in this country is are
out of wedlock. They're not being born to married couples
who are necessarily living together. They're just being born to
a couple who may or may not get married somewhere

(38:42):
down the road.

Speaker 19 (38:44):
Absolutely, Jimmy, that's one hundred percent correct. And again I
don't want to understate here just how much financial incentive
we have created for people to do this. And what's
really interesting is that there are a lot a lot
of issues that have been demographic related. I guess you
could say where among certain groups those social ills were

(39:08):
very present many years ago, but as things like the
out rock birth rate have equalized across groups. You have
seen those differences between groups when it comes to those
social ills also equalized. In other words, it never had
anything to do with race, for example, what kinds of
social outcomes were likely to befall certain children. Instead, it

(39:33):
had everything to do with circumstances. And again, as we
have created financial incentives for those bad circumstances, they have
increased among all groups.

Speaker 6 (39:44):
You disincentivize production, exploration, people discovering new things, progression of
a society when you do that.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
You know, the thing drives me crazy about all this, though,
is the redundancy. We've got people who are who get
food stamp benefits, they get snap benefits, they have free
school lunch programs for the kids in the school. You know,
shouldn't there.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Be one program the emergency room for healthcare.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Shouldn't there be one program tote food to families? Not
you know, three or four different programs that are all
providing free food.

Speaker 19 (40:18):
Well, that's a great point, Jimmy. And you know, look
at Loudon County here, one of the bedroom communities of Washington,
d C. In just one program a family can get
about thirty thousand dollars in rental assistance per year, and
that's per family. But on top of that, there are
two additional programs that you can get rental assistance from.

(40:42):
And so once you start adding all this up and
you figure that people can figure these things out and
they can double dip, you realize you can get a
pretty tarn good standard of living if you just live
off your fellow taxpayer.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
You make yourself your entire society feeling like they're victims.
Not just in tide, but it's almost like, well, I'm
a victim and I need somebody to pay me back.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Yeah, I'm owed this.

Speaker 19 (41:07):
One hundred percent. I think that's another really, really big problem.
And once you raise generation under this kind of welfare state,
they get exactly that type of mentality. And I think
that's a big reason why it is so difficult now
to claw these programs back and to claw back the spending.

in Saginaw, Michigan, where he expressed some empathy for the

(43:21):
union workers.

Speaker 7 (43:23):
They've been treated badly by Biden because of inflation. They
caused inflation and it killed them. You know, it looks
like they're asking for a lot, but they're really not
asking for a lot, because when you look at inflation,
they end up being a net negative.

Speaker 8 (43:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
Wage agreement is for a sixty two percent pay increase

in Beirut overnight. Officials say those air strikes were targeting

(45:13):
one of the militant leaders who they believe will be
taking over for the chief that they've already assassinated, Hassan Nasrala.
He was killed in an air strike last Friday. Biden
said this week that the US and his allies will
not support Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, and he
called on Israel to get this respond to anything coming

Retired Army Captain Jack Lawyers Sean Timmins there. He told
us that it just goes to show the military and
top commanders have given in completely to the woke agenda

dependent than ever on government and its handouts.

Speaker 38 (47:12):
More than half of the counties in the US now
drive a significant portion of personal income from government programs
like Social Security, Medicare, welfare, and unemployment. That's a more
than fiftyfold increase since nineteen seventy. Heritage Foundation economist E. J.
And Tony says this only fosters more government spending.

Speaker 18 (47:29):
What this is essentially doing is requiring the government to
go further and further into debt. But the government doesn't
have any money. Only we have money because only we
are productive. So this is essentially requiring future generations to
pay off spending that we're doing today, and.

Speaker 38 (47:44):
It makes it more difficult for lawmakers to pass any
meaningful spending cuts. Corey Jolson News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (53:14):
Good morning, everyone, is now six twenty two on news
Radio seven forty KTRH. Biden Harris regime is putting one
and a half billion dollars into a plan to tap
the Texas owned and controlled electric grid. They're making a link,
they say, to the national grid and thus fed control.
Sentencing phase of the former HPD officer Gerald Goins has

(53:37):
now been put on hold after he suffered an apparent
medical episode during closing arguments of the sentencing phase on Thursday.
He's in a hospital status unknown. Costco now adding Platinum

(53:59):

new bars that were printed at then minted is the
word minted in Switzerland.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
So you can get gold, silver, and platinum. It's just
toilet paper that's a problem, a.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
Lot cheaper than gold. So you know, they might have
a run on that latest news anytime ktiurah dot com.
Our next update will be at the bottom of the hour.

Speaker 10 (54:22):
I live it, Katie.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Your best ways are round Houston. Next on the ten
one seven KTRH.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
Chris Johnson's with US College Republicans, the SWAP working very
hard to elect Kamala Harris. George Carles is buying up
the airwaves. Secret service Lord knowes what they're doing, especially
in trying to protect Trump. A continuing resolution yesterday had
Liz Cheney Chris endorsing Kamala Harris. Not that that I
don't think that makes a bunch of a difference. But

(54:50):
they're they're trying their level best. They're trying they're doing
everything they possibly can. You think they have enough going
to make it as success. Luckily, we have the issues
on our side. And I know that sounds like cliche,
but you know.

Speaker 15 (55:04):
For the younger folks like us have only been through
a couple of election cycles working in politics, it seems
so obvious that Republicans should be winning up and down
the ballot if we focus on the issues. And I
know we want to work the rest. And it's at
tempting to get angry about the reality that entrenched interests
are supportive of Harris, but ultimately we've got to fight

(55:24):
with the tools we have available. And luckily people trust
us on the economy and immigration, and those are the
two biggest issues. So if we do the build baby, build,
drill baby drill rhetoric that Americans want to hear, and
we stick to that, I think we've got a real
way to overcome these entrenched interests.

Speaker 6 (55:41):
I'm interested in the tone, bet. I was watching Trump's
rally in Saginaw, Michigan yesterday. There were so many young
people there, and a lot of them union workers, obviously
in Saginaw, but it was a hopeful rally. You know,
the Democrats talk all the time about all this joy
but everything is so negative negative. Donald Trump was offering

(56:02):
young people a future and a hope and solutions to
this malaise that has hit this country. Do you get
that when you're out and you're you're holding rallies or
meetings or whatever.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
With the younger folks.

Speaker 15 (56:18):
Sure, And that's where really I hope the Republicans continue
to at the top of the levels of the GOP
and the RNC recognize that that energy is there, and
they tap into it, and they use us and they
use the young people, and they focus on the energy
that we create. You know, in Western Michigan, they've got
a huge Dutch reform community there that is very young,
that is having a lot of kids, that is having

(56:39):
big families, and that's the kind of future that the
Republican Party should be focused on. And I know it's
a tempting to get into a lot of the grievance politics,
and because there is a lot to be to have
grievances about. But if you want a forward looking campaign
that wins over a really winnable group of people, which
is young Evangelical Christians, young conservative men, those are the

(57:02):
areas where if you focus on issues like the environment,
if you focus on climate challenge, if you focus on
issues that young people care about, that older folks may think, Ah,
that's not that important of an issue. You can win
over a lot of gettable people and on the margins
in a place like Michigan is huge. The way that
folks are worried about Dearborn for Democrats, we should be
worried about Holland and saganhaf for Republicans.

Speaker 4 (57:22):
Interesting. Obviously you mentioned young male conservatives at college. Are
are young women totally being written off at this point
because we hear that young men have become more conservative,
that young women are becoming even more liberal. Is there
any way to reach them?

Speaker 15 (57:39):
I think there's definitely a gender gap, but I think
it mostly comes down to tones and issues. I think
when you talk to younger folks they have, you know,
they'll they'll give the answers they think they're supposed to be.
I'm worried about my rights as a woman. I'm worried
about the unfortunate stuff. I think when you really get
down to it, I think they are, you know, young people.

(58:00):
I would love to believe that we have these fully
formed thoughts on politics and the issues, But a lot
of the time, basically the gist is well, I think
Republicans are mean and if we can go and we
can talk the way that JD Vance did the other
night about the issues that goes away immediately. That's and
jad Vance is one of the younger members of the Senate,
and so that's why we need to get more young
people out there. We need to get jad out there,

(58:21):
We need to get as many of these folks out
there talking this way, because I do think that it's
a tone issue, it's.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
A vibes issue, and young women are responding to that.

Speaker 15 (58:31):
I saw many of my younger female friends saying, Wow,
I didn't know jd.

Speaker 13 (58:36):
Was like this.

Speaker 15 (58:37):
I thought that he was this big jerk because that's
how he's portrayed in the media, and so seeing him
give thoughtful answers on everything from climate to family to immigration,
they were like, Wow, this is this is not the
Republican Party I thought existed. So if we can break through,
I think that's what's just thinks for young women, they're.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Totally not to be written off. Good to hear, Chris Johnson,
Thanks for your time. Appreciate it. For the college Republicans.

Speaker 6 (01:01:09):
Good morning. Everyone is now six thirty one on news

port workers strike that impacted thirty six ports from Maine
to Texas comes to an end for now.

Speaker 40 (01:01:21):
The union representing the dock worker seeing in a statement
they and the United States Maritime Alliance have reached a
tentative agreement on wages and have agreed to extend the
master contract until January fifteen, twenty twenty five, to return
to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues.
As part of the conditional offer, the ports proposed a
sixty two percent wage hike over six years if a

(01:01:44):
deal isn't reached within ninety days, though the proposed increase
is off the table.

Fox's Madeline RIVERA there reason decline in oil prices. You've
been noticing how it's affected your gasoline prices. Industry ANALYSTO
warn prices are going to be going on up, and sadly,
probably soon.

Speaker 30 (01:02:03):
I think you're going to see prices rise here, at
least in the short term. Over the next couple of
weeks until things settle down in the Middle East.

Speaker 6 (01:02:10):
Yeah, that's the reason. Tim Stewart, president of the US
Oil and Gas Association. He says, also demand here in
the US is expected to rise, and that's going to
be driving up prices too. According to a new industry
for cast health plan costs, they're going to be rising
five point eight percent in twenty twenty five, on top
of what they've already risen.

Speaker 12 (01:02:31):
Sharre doctor Bill Hennessy with care Guide says it's actually
going to be a lot worse.

Speaker 22 (01:02:37):
It might go up only six percent for those bigger companies,
but I'm seeing ten, twenty and thirty percent.

Speaker 12 (01:02:42):
And if that's not bad enough, most companies are shifting
the financial burden back on employees.

Speaker 22 (01:02:49):
It's unsustainable. Every Christmas you get the moted, your health
insurance goes up more than the race you didn't get.
So the financial misalignments between the brokers and the carriers
is a problem.

Once there are now healthcare bundles on the market as

Speaker 6 (01:03:10):
It's now six thirty three. The death toll from Hurricane
Helene has already surpassed a two hundred mark, and that
number is going to rise as more bodies are being
discovered on a daily basis. And that is really creating
some problems because trying to deal with the recovery. Now,
federal government says, not a whole lot they can do

(01:03:33):
because FEMA is running out of money.

Speaker 32 (01:03:37):
We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that
we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. FEMA does
not have the funds to make it through the season.

Speaker 6 (01:03:50):
Homeland Security Secretary there Alejandro Majorkis, FEMA money was diverted
in order to provide for illegal aliens and then from
our other budgets. Just last week, Biden Harris regime bragging
about the billions more in dollars they are sending to
Ukraine while they're still in office. So what's going on

(01:04:15):
in the politics? The left wing swamp machine, they're pretty
hard at work for Kamala Harris. Now, So how do
Republicans win when the Democrats play dirty all the time.

Speaker 15 (01:04:27):
People are looking for an alternative that's not dirty politics.
People are looking for an alternative. It seems principle that
seems committed to a certain set of values, a certain
way of doing things.

Speaker 6 (01:04:38):
Chris Johnson with the College Republicans, he told KTRH that
Republicans they just have to communicate common sense messages very strongly,
and they need to win key elections in order to
break the Democrat machine. This is all the way down ballot.

Texas A and M and the University of Texas systems.
Guess what they got huge endowments worth billions of dollars,
But they're being managed by outside concerns. And guess what
those concerns do. They are promoting DEI and using their
power in order to make it happen.

Speaker 35 (01:05:21):
Our report found the money is managed by the investment
company u Timco.

Speaker 33 (01:05:25):
They allocated their assets to these five groups who have
voted for shareholder resolutions that violate policy and promote leftist
political agendas.

Valery Munios of Texas Scorecards says these groups strong arm
for liberal votes, and this also shows both schools lacks
some competence.

Speaker 33 (01:05:43):

or they truly did not know what's happening with their money.

We've got the September jobs report coming out this morning
in about an hour from now. Numbers expected this again,
this is a prediction anywhere from one hundred and forty
to one hundred and fifty thousand new jobs added. But
what about the young people who are in the workforce
right now. You used to be able to call. They
used to be able. We used to always look forward

(01:06:18):
to promotions. But we're finding out now that young people
of gen Z they're more likely to shy away from promotions.
They call it conscious unbossing.

Speaker 41 (01:06:31):
Of gen Z's admit that they don't want to move
into managerial roles. And now this is comes from a
few different factors. One is a perceived stress avoidance. They
don't want the stress that comes with it, and it
also moves them further from their desired work.

Speaker 6 (01:06:46):
Moves them further from their desired work.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
What is their desired work? Sleep by the couch.

Speaker 6 (01:06:52):
I never wanted to be in management. It's too hard
to try to manage other people and all their problems.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
They can be I've done it, I've done it. I mean,
that's not my favorite part.

Speaker 6 (01:07:01):
Of this business may not be your personality. I do
understand that, but you know when top jobs are hard
to get, I don't know that was Global keynote speaker
Josh Evans. He says gen Z's are not wanting to
advance up a calear career ladder and take on more responsibility,
and certainly not if it's not their desire of what

they want to be with their lives.

So we'll hear that clip first, and then reaction from

(01:08:12):
author and behavioral scientist doctor Gad Sad on Trump derangement syndrome.

Speaker 6 (01:08:20):
In his mouth.

Speaker 8 (01:08:21):
I'm saying it like that because he's dangerous.

He's dangerous to particular people.

I'll get myself together, clar Okay, take an in deep breaths.

Speaker 43 (01:08:53):
Well, you should see the number of colleagues that I
thought I had warm relationships with who have unfollowed me
on Twitter or x because I dare say something nice
about Trump and say something less nice about Kamala.

Speaker 10 (01:09:07):
And I'm Canadian, for God's sake.

Speaker 43 (01:09:08):
So for some reason, Trump serves as an existential injury
to all the progressive people, and they simply they despise him.

Speaker 10 (01:09:18):
It's unbelievable what happens when Trump wins. If he wins, They've.

Speaker 8 (01:09:22):
Said, this guy is a dictator in life's going to
be over.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
How are they going to process that?

Speaker 43 (01:09:28):
I'm nervous, right, Well, I think the first thing that
they will do is they will go on X and
remove all those posts where they said that if Trump wins,
they will be moving to Canada.

Speaker 10 (01:09:38):
That's the first thing they'll be doing.

Speaker 43 (01:09:41):
You know, it's just unbelievable to me that people could
be so riled up by all these types of things.
I mean, of course presidential elections are important, but go
hug your children, go for a.

Speaker 10 (01:09:52):
Walk, read a good book.

Speaker 43 (01:09:54):
It's unbelievable how vested people are in hating Trump, when
of course many them agree with their positions, but for
some reason he is an aesthetic injury.

Speaker 10 (01:10:04):
They despise him. It's insane and it's irrational.

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Well, and you can fight insanity and irrationality. I look
at it this way, Sharah. I you know all the
people I hear talking like that dude on CNN, it's
all very emotional. These are not These are not people
who are thinking with their brains. They're just thinking with
their feelings and their emotions.

Speaker 6 (01:10:24):
They scare people to death with COVID and made everybody
wear a mask. No logic to it. They've done the
same thing with Trump's arrangement syndrome. But they've been doing
it for so long that there's no way.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
That it's who they are. Yeah, it's just who they are.
There's no cureacter s once.

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
Your brain is down that thing. I mean, it's like
a phobia. These people have phobias. There's no rationale, there's

continuing to try and do what the federal government won't.
And that's the reality. I saw my first FEMA truck today.
They admitted that they just got here this morning. And meanwhile, yesterday, Laura,
you had President President Biden who came in here shut
down our actual capabilities for up to four hours, putting
a thirty mile TFR after abandoning this place for you know,

(01:16:23):
six days. You know, unfortunately it's not named Ukraine North Carolina,
or they would have already have had enough money.

Speaker 8 (01:16:28):
And then you think about Majorcis who said they're at
the end.

Speaker 39 (01:16:31):
Of their funding, but he doesn't want to tell the
American people that money that was supposed to go to
disaster relief was actually utilized and repurpose for immigration resettlements.

Speaker 8 (01:16:41):
So let's go ahead and call the truth to what
is going on here. It's the America ast agenda.

Speaker 39 (01:16:45):
It's focused on nine thousand miles away, not nine hundred
and ninety miles away. Is keep our borders open while
we go ahead and secure everyone else. Let's drive up
everyone's medical costs because we're going to do you know,
uncompensated medical treatments for those who are illegally here through
the criminal migrants and add to angel families. And so
we're gonna be on the ground, We're going to continue
to help the people into the federal government. And I

(01:17:06):
can tell you this is community based, This is veterans
who are coming together. These are charity organizations who are
coming together, and it's the community who is delivering it
is not the federal government at this point, think about it.
There's been a complete pattern of abandonment under Biden and Harris.

torn area collapse under the gangs and rescue the first

To have your support Biden Harris regime gets another chance

are we, however, in a battle to save America, we're

(01:22:55):
in the midst of a battle to save American minds.
It's called an information war.

And Chiral Larry Kfish, a retired colonel with the US Marines,
has been writing and speaking out about it.

Speaker 13 (01:23:10):

this is what we call sixth generation warfare.

Action between Israel and Iran is the fault of the
Biden Harris regime, claims Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton.

Speaker 45 (01:23:47):
Nothing like that happened on President Trump's watch, in part
because Iran was scared of America when President Trump was
in the White House. Right now they think they can
push around and walk all over Joe Biden and Kadla.

Speaker 6 (01:23:58):
Harris Well, both countries promising to continue their retaliatory strikes.
It never ends. Have you noticed though, how mainstream media
actually eulogizes Hamas and hesloitarists When they're brought down.

Speaker 14 (01:24:15):
The liberal media in their sun and concern for fairness
and objectivity when reporting on math terrorists, they decide that
they need to inject some sort of positive energy into

Speaker 6 (01:24:28):
Curtis how, managing editor of Media Research Center's NewsBusters, says
media outlets couldn't be more biased in their reporting of
left versus right, sovereignty versus terrorism, Republican versus Democrat welkness.
It's still rampant in the US military. Sadly leaked memos
showing now that the Air Force ROTC has no interest

(01:24:52):
in admitting white men a ban.

Speaker 16 (01:24:57):
This is blatant discrimination against white people and it's completely illegal.

Speaker 17 (01:25:01):
To me, that's extremely concerning. People need to be fired
over it. They need to be a condessional investigation. Congress
needed to do an audit and pull the financial resources
that have allowed the discrimination to occur.

Speaker 16 (01:25:10):
Retired Army captain and JAG lawyer Sean Timmins told KTRH,
this just proves the military has gone completely woke.

Harry's Foundation economists EJ. And Tony says, it's an entitlement
society we're living in. Began with FDR and his New Deal,

(01:25:54):
continued with LBJ in the New Society as a way
to keep Democrats out all that money in perpetual power.

Speaker 18 (01:26:04):
The result has been an ever increasing and ever growing
government that continues to play Santa Claus to the point
where now that's how a politician gets elected.

Speaker 19 (01:26:12):
They promised to give you more than their opponent.

Speaker 6 (01:26:15):

Gotta love it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:40):
I mean that's how fast it was out of here.

Speaker 4 (01:27:43):
Yeah. Problem is, now, are you willing to go when
you hear stories like this? A cartel gunman on jet
skis kills victim in luxurious Cancun beach hotel. Happened at
the Riu right there on the top of the seven
I've been, I've stayed at that hotel. I've been to
that hotel a million times. Some person that there was

(01:28:07):
a hit on or whatever out on the beach. In
this cartel, Guman comes flying by in a jet skip,
pops him and takes off.

Speaker 6 (01:28:16):
I used to go across the border at Laredo and
go shopping.

Speaker 4 (01:28:19):
Craziness. It's a failed state, it really is. I just wonder,
I mean, how is this impacting tourism? I mean, certainly
used to.

Speaker 6 (01:28:30):
Be sort of this unwritten law that you left the
tourist series alone because it was too much of the income.

Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
Right exactly. That went by by some time ago yeah,
did Yeah, that's what I mean. I mean, even if
you were afraid to travel to certain parts of Mexico,
at least you were not afraid to stay in a
you know, in a hotel with hotel security and all
that kind of stuff, if you stayed on the grounds
of the hotel. I don't know that that's the case anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:32:55):
Larry K. Fish Joint just retired colonel to US Marines
and writer of a story we saw in Americans think
we wanted to find out more about cold It's about
the tyrannical war on truth and information. Larry, Welcome to
our show here this morning. Here's I think we know
what's going on here as far as misinformation, half truth
and downright lives that the American people are being told.

(01:33:16):
The question becomes, with all the help that the globalists
are getting from a very willing mainstream media, what can
we do about it?

Speaker 13 (01:33:24):
Well, Hi, Jim Cherah, thanks so much for having us,
for having me on this morning. Yeah, that's the big question.
So when you look at, let's face it the globalists
are raging war on we the people. And when you
look at this and from a war fighter's perspective, you
have to find out what their center of gravity is, ok,
and you've already alluded to it. Their center of gravity

(01:33:47):
is where do they get their strength? And what if
we take away ensures their demidse And in this situation,
we already realize the reason they've been able to make
such progress and do this is because they own the narrative.
You own the story, you own the world, right, and
that's what they've done. So they've been able to overcome
and take over. Let's face it, ninety percent of our

(01:34:08):
media outlets you know, you know, take away good radio
stations like yourself, podcasters, different different radio shows and news outlets,
which is only about ten percent, is sharing the truth.
So how do we do that? How do we defeat
the globalists that own the narrative? Well, it's easy, but

(01:34:29):
it's but it's hard. The bottom line is you have
to share the truth, right, because they cannot survive the truth.
And I've been pushing this a long time. They can't
survive the truth. So that's what we must do. So
every time we hear a lie, we have to be
able to counter it with the truth ten times, and

(01:34:49):
that's challenging when we're being suppressed on every single channel
and they own the mass media, so it's a it's
a slow process, but the the biggest weapon they have
is the TV, and and and the corporate media outlets.
So how can we yet wake people up enough to

(01:35:11):
realize we have to turn it off? We have to
stop listening to sources that have no credibility. So, and
this is you know, I'm an infantry guy by trade,
but I've done intel work as well, and the rule
in the intel community is do not listen to any
source that doesn't have credibility, okay, and only listen to

(01:35:31):
information that is credible, and only really use it if
you have two sources that are credible, meaning they have
a long talk record of telling me the truth and
they're corroborating.

Speaker 6 (01:35:43):
Sadly though, sadly though, the propaganda field has already been
laid through schools. I mean, we have entire generations who
believe man made global warming is the reason why we
have hurricanes, and on and on and on man made
global warming and everything follows from that, and then the
government piles on I mean is coming from every area.

(01:36:06):
How do you get and now you've got people who
believe that misinformation should not be allowed whatever misinformation is.

Speaker 13 (01:36:16):
Yeah, yeah, no, you're absolutely right. I mean, this is
not an easy problem because there have been so many
folks that have been sucked in. Fortunately, we don't need
one hundred percent of the population to know the truth.
We don't even need fifty but we need enough to
be able to turn the tide. You know, I think

(01:36:36):
twenty to thirty percent. In fact, we can look at
COVID for example, the COVID experiment was they pushed this,
I'm going to use quotes air finger quotes, safe and
effective vaccine out to the people. The World Economic Forum
has already come out and said the pandemic was just
to see how far we could push the population. Between
sixty and seventy plus percent of the people took the vaccine,

(01:37:00):
even though it was not safe, even though it was
not effective. We're seeing the results now. So you're looking
at a critical population people that think critically only about
thirty percent. But you're right, this is not easy.

Speaker 26 (01:37:10):
How do we do it.

Speaker 13 (01:37:12):
We have to get the word out and if we
can just share that I mean, we know our corporate
media has lied to us about Russian collusion. We know
they lied to of us Hunter's laptop. We know they
lied to of us the JAB being safe and effective.
We know they lied to us about the election of
twenty twenty. We know they lied to us about January
sixth insurrection. But we do have to get to these people,

(01:37:36):
and I encourage I'm going around speaking to different groups.
I'm doing writing, I'm doing podcasts, and I'm just I'm
trying to get the information out. You're doing the information,
But how do we do it? Ultimately we need to
get a Patriot in office.

Speaker 4 (01:37:49):
Well, I mean, let's look at this and ultimately, because
we're running out of time rapidly, but ultimately, people have
to pay the price for the misinformation. People have to
pay the price for lying to the American people need
to be prosecuted, and so far that's not happening. Thank
you for your time, sir, do appreciate it. Larry Kyfish,

Thirty two now on news radio seven forty KTRH and
our top story this hour. Nationwide port strike, No, it
would be the East and Gulf Coast port strike is
over for now, a source.

Speaker 29 (01:40:41):
Tells Fox Business a conditional offer has been made to
the International Longshoreman's Association centered around a sixty two percent
wage increase. Some forty five thousand DOC workers have agreed
to suspend their strike until January fifteenth, so there's enough
time to negotiate a new co tracked. However, if no
full deal is reached by then, the offer with a

(01:41:04):
wage hike will be pulled from the table. The board
operator's offers being made on the condition that dock workers
go back to work and agree to efficiency gains the
union set on Facebook effective immediately.

Speaker 6 (01:41:17):
Work will resume till NATO. Fox News Oil prices gasoline
does as well because of a stagnant economy been coming
down over the last quarter. But Tim Stewart, president of
the US Oil and Gas Association says we better be
expecting price hikes now.

Speaker 30 (01:41:35):
There's a lot of pressure right now with the Middle East,
and at least in the short term, I think you're
probably going to see at least a short term price
spike that could get us up close to one hundred
dollars in barrel.

Speaker 6 (01:41:45):
Yeah, Settling the DOC strike is helping a lot, but
energy required for rebuilding after Hurricane Helene adds to demand,
and therefore the outlook on futures is on the rise.
More bodies uncovered daily in the Southeast States. Hurricane Helene
now the deadliest storm to hit the mainland since Hurricane Katrina.

(01:42:06):
Official death toll at least two hundred and fifteen in
counting Biden delivering remarks at Shiloh Pecan Farms in Raised City, Georgia.

Speaker 31 (01:42:15):
Folks, this entire project is going to cost billions of dollars,
not tens of thousands, not millions, not billion, billions of dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:42:25):
FEDS won't be paying for it, though FEMA already has
diverted tens of millions to providing for illegal alien housing.
We're just out of money.

Speaker 32 (01:42:35):
We are expecting another hurricane hitting. FEMA does not have
the funds to make it through the season.

Speaker 6 (01:42:43):
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcas. Just last week, Biden Herris
regime was also bragging about sending the billions of dollars
more that they just sent to Ukraine. Donald Trump drew
another massive rally in Saginaw, Michigan, yesterday and didn't mince
words early in the day on Fox News about Liz
Cheney's endorsement of Kamala Harris.

Speaker 7 (01:43:06):
Liz Cheney is a stupid warhawk. All she wants to
do is shoot missiles at people.

Speaker 6 (01:43:12):
See mainstream media. That's the bites they pull for us
to run and therefore it makes them scenes so mean.
He's going to return home to return tomorrow to Butler,
Pennsylvania to finish the rally that was interrupted by the
July thirteenth assassination attempt. George Soros and state election officials
all across this country. Lawyer's law fair. It's the left

(01:43:36):
wings swamp working pretty hard behind the scenes to get
Kamala elected.

Speaker 16 (01:43:42):
They've mastered the art of gaming the system without breaking
any laws.

Speaker 4 (01:43:46):
There's no law that can stop it.

Speaker 15 (01:43:48):
You're allowed to buy radio stations, You're allowed to dictate elections.

Speaker 21 (01:43:52):
If you were the sectary of state of any given state.

Speaker 16 (01:43:54):
Chris Johnson with the College Republican says, the only way
for Republicans to stop this is to win more.

Speaker 15 (01:44:00):
We can win and do it the right way without
being sought. One of the biggest reasons we can do
that is the democratic agenda. The corrective agenda is wildly unpopular.

Speaker 16 (01:44:09):
Johnson says, if Republicans communicate how radical Democrats are, they
can win key victories and break down the Democrat machine.

Speaker 6 (01:44:19):
The massive endowments of the University of Texas system in
Texas A and M. You know, they're managed by outside
investment firm that basically is called Utemco and it includes
JP Morgan Chase. What do they do well? The way
they invest those funds, funds, massive funds, billions of dollars,

(01:44:40):
gives them power and they use it. The fact the
dei groups and the politically groups that they find favorable.

Speaker 33 (01:44:51):
These votes are political in nature, and that violates the
way that the endowment funds are meant to be used.
So the endowment funds can only be used for things
relating to the university. Is they should not be political.

Speaker 6 (01:45:07):
That gives them a lot of cloud, doesn't it. Neither
school board has responded to this report. It's now the
seven thirty seven. Well, what are we going to talk about?
It's been a day. It was just a day after
this astro season came to an end and we had

(01:45:27):
the GM Dana Brown saying, look, we're not looking back now,
we're looking ahead. So let's be hopeful, folks. He says,
the off season and next year has our focus now.
And one of the things, specifically Alex Bregman. He's a
free agent, but negotiations are beginning. I'm shereby Fryar and
News Radio seven forty ktr.

Speaker 4 (01:45:46):
Age of the land. Doug him Off, Well, we already
heard about the nanny, right knocking up the nanny. Here's
the latest accusation that Vice President Kamala Harris's husband being
accused of slapping his ex girlfriend for flirting with a

(01:46:07):
valet worker at a ritzy gala in twenty twelve. Doug
him Off supposedly struck his then girlfriend, described as a
successful New York attorney, in the face so hard she
spun around while in a valet line after an event
at the Cannes Film Festival on May twenty twelve. That's man,
That's an awfully public place to be doing something like that,
isn't it, the three unnamed friends of the woman reportedly

(01:46:31):
told The Daily Mail. All three sources requested not to
be named due to fear of retaliation from him Off,
who frequently positions himself as an ally for women. Huh.

Speaker 6 (01:46:43):
Well, mainstream media was gushing over him. He's the perfect man. Yeah, sure,
EPOUSI yeah, perfect woman.

Speaker 4 (01:46:52):
Uh huh, cheated on his wife with the nanny, got
her pregnant with his first wife, Yeah, with a first wife,
and now we have stories like this. Yet sounds like
the perfect guy to me. Unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (01:47:05):
Anyway, it's covered up though you don't see a whole
lot of supporting of that.

Speaker 4 (01:47:09):
Mainstream won't cover it, obviously for very obvious reasons, Which
is not to necessarily say that that disqualifies him from
having a room at the White House if his wife
is elected President of the United States. But it says
a lot about the man's character, and maybe says something
about Kamala Harris's character that she's married to the guy.

Speaker 6 (01:47:30):
Well, it makes you wonder. I mean, this is such
a big deal on the Democrat side of things and
among liberals. Yes, And I'm not saying, look, don't tell
me that I believe in women's rights.

Speaker 21 (01:47:44):
I do.

Speaker 6 (01:47:46):
But you know, they bring it out and they throw
it against the right all the time and act so
holier than now. Right, Well, you know, get it out
here in the open. Is it true?

Speaker 10 (01:47:58):
Is it not true?

Speaker 4 (01:48:00):
And he could do a real service to society if
he would stand up and say, yes, I did that,
and I regret that. And here's why I regret that,
and I have never done it since, I'll never do
it again. And it's not right to hit a woman.
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 6 (01:48:11):
Let's not forget how Kamal Harris went after Judge Kavanaugh.
Don't forget about that, the claims they made against him,
and how he treated women when he was seventeen years old.

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
Exactly. Yeah, well, I mean, don't forget about that again.
We're talking about very hypocritical behavior.

Speaker 6 (01:48:26):
Left hand, right hand. Let's just get it equal here.

Speaker 4 (01:48:30):
That's it, okay, fair enough? Seven forty time for traffic

This is northbound at it ten. That's direct. Now they've
moved this over to the side. I wish more people
would steer it and clear it.

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
There's still too.

Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
Many drivers when they get into these minor accidents say
you know they just sit there. You know they're not
going to draw a chalk outline around your car. So
these guys have wisely moved over to the side. It's
not that thick either, coming up from Briar Force Toll Plaza.
This is northbound west. We're going down to up tow.
Does that make sense?

Speaker 4 (01:49:00):
Sure?

language of Tim Walls during the vice presidential debate. We'll

weather together as we check out the drive once again

Speaker 4 (01:53:01):
Little body language coming off with the VP debate, especially
from Tim Walls Gutfeld in his panel, having a lot
of fun with that. I think you'll enjoy this.

Speaker 5 (01:53:09):
Some hack at Politico writes this piece on the body
language from the debate, claiming that it speaks volumes. Yeah,
it says that Walt's lost, but they they one of them.
Politico says, it's like Waltz's wide eyes showed his passion
and emotional intensity.

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
Can we show that there is a white eyes.

Speaker 46 (01:53:31):
That humans would widen their eyes to convey that danger
is close?

Speaker 21 (01:53:38):
What emotion are you getting from that?

Speaker 4 (01:53:39):
Sorry?

Speaker 44 (01:53:40):
First of all, Tim Waltz very much looked burdened by
what has not been and what will never be. He
had that face like a cop pulled him over and
he just realized that he had heroin in his pocket.

Speaker 2 (01:53:53):
Yeah, come, where am.

Speaker 21 (01:53:57):

Speaker 21 (01:54:07):
Relaxed?

Speaker 41 (01:54:07):
I am.

Speaker 44 (01:54:08):
It's why when I'm making love to a woman, you
want to do you know, no, listen, yeah, take notes.

Speaker 4 (01:54:14):
It's a theory.

Speaker 44 (01:54:15):
It's a theory, hypothetical. You want to be calm. You
want to be calm, and you want to do minimal movements.
It's why I do in bed what's called the Mitch McConnell,
where I just kind of and then she'll pick up
and she'll end up doing most of the work. Write
that down, Tim Waltz, you are truly a casanova.

Speaker 21 (01:54:37):
All right. Kat They did that.

Speaker 5 (01:54:39):
They had a stupid take on Vance's facial hair.

Speaker 46 (01:54:43):
They said that voters see beards as more masculine, but
also it could be negative, conveying aggression.

Speaker 2 (01:54:53):
And the opposition to feminist ideals. Isn't that sexists?

Speaker 21 (01:54:56):
There are plenty of women with beards.

Speaker 34 (01:55:01):
Honestly, this guy is the perfect example of how just
because you're an expert doesn't mean you're not a idiot
because okay, the beer, okay, beards, all right? Have you
ever been to Brooklyn and seeing these dudes in Brooklyn
with their soy lattes walking around?

Speaker 26 (01:55:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 34 (01:55:20):
I mean it's like, you spent great, fifty years doing
this twenty five in the FBI. Great, but you've never
even heard of a hipster? Like, how useful are you really?

Speaker 4 (01:55:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:55:30):
He opened up with his credentials.

Speaker 8 (01:55:33):
I've been doing this so long. I've been doing this
long and then he.

Speaker 34 (01:55:35):
Just proceeds in the next to say one of the
dumbest things I've ever heard.

Speaker 6 (01:55:38):
In my entire life.

Speaker 24 (01:55:40):
It is true, though, that's a big red flag whenever
you meet someone and they have to give you their
yes yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:55:45):
And then as soon as they talking like that's why
you gave me your resume.

Speaker 34 (01:55:48):
Yeah, because it doesn't speak for itself.

Speaker 4 (01:55:50):
You suck, by the way, on the whole beard thing
being manly. The guys that have beards and then have
a man bun The man bun kind of negates the beer,
doesn't it. For the For the manly part, I think
it completely. You forget about the If you see a
man bun, then we're not We're not talking about super

(01:56:11):
masculine here.

Speaker 6 (01:56:12):
Let's just say I've reached a point in my life
where I've already made my determinations about what is manly.

Speaker 4 (01:56:18):
Yes, you have, you know, so I can't really weigh
in on that. No, well you can, because you're they
all look like kids. You have an old school definition
of what a man is. And I, and quite honestly
so do I.

Speaker 6 (01:56:30):
I have an alpha male? Yeah, description, Well, manliness it's
not really much to do with appearance.

Speaker 4 (01:56:36):
No, It's got everything to do with actions, that's for sure. Actions.

Speaker 6 (01:56:41):
And I was raised among alpha males. Well there you go,
and they say they complain that I'm an alpha female.

Speaker 4 (01:56:47):
So I never thought I was nothing wrong with that either.

Speaker 6 (01:56:50):
Some one work with all you guys all my life. Well,
you just have to be You have to stand.

Speaker 4 (01:56:57):
