Drive Everywhere with the Avenue.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Now the latest news, weather and traffic. It's more what
matters to you. From the John Morris Services Studios. It
is five am, Good morning, Friday morning. Here on Houston's
Morning News.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
I'm Jimmy Barrett along with Sheriff Ryer on your top
stores this half hour. Retail sales are great. How are
we affording it? Straight out of the Soviet Union? Kabola
wants price controls on food and coming up at five
oh eight, we called cucumbers and candles. Details in the
minutes ahead. You're in Houston's Morning News. First, we're chugging

(00:41):
out that morning ribe. You're already board skuid Mike, Really.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
No, no, I'm just I'm just goofing by, but it is.
It's a slinky Friday, and I would really love to
keep it like that. So far. We'll just go around
the horn quickly. I haven't looked at Graham Parkway this
early in a while. If you're in Sinco Ranch, you're
trying to get from the west part to the KDI
or from the KDI to the West Park, whichever way.
This is America. You've got that roadwork between Fry Road
and Hyland Knowles, and now you got these little skinny

(01:07):
lanes and concrete wall both sites here so far. If
you've got to do it, do it now before everybody else.
It's wide open. Katie Freeway looks good too. Thirty one
minutes pinoak mall into the President's heads. I'm Skymike. It's
your classic elite GMC traffic center from bog KTRH, top
tax defenders, twenty four hour weather center for today.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Park in the cloude skyes I Tempe at you're right about
ninety eight to be right around one hundred pretty much
all weekend long. We'll check out the forecast in detail.
We'll be talked to Terry Smith at the Weather Channel.
We'll do that in about nine minutes. Right down's eighty
two with your official severe weather station. News Radio seven
forty k TRH. It's time now for the news. Here's
Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
Good morning is five o two on news radio seven
forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (01:50):
Whether you are black, white, or brown in this country,
everybody's money is green and nobody has enough of.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
It thanks to Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
Donald Trump campaign spokesperson Caroline Sunshine on Fox Business. But
businesses are selling. Retail sales shot up one percent in July,
triple what analysts had expected. But remember its talied in dollars,
not adjusted for inflation. Prices are high. Kamala Harris will
finally unveil her economic plan, however, to deal with all this.

(02:19):
She'll call it a gouging band, but it's actually Soviet
style government mandated price controls on private business. It's not
going over well with Donald Trump or really anyone with
a brain.

Speaker 8 (02:32):
She wants price controls and if they worked, I'd go
along with it too, But they don't work. They actually
have the exact opposite impact and effect.

Speaker 6 (02:40):
Yeah. Trump took reporter questions for over an hour yesterday
in New Jersey. He rallies tomorrow in Pennsylvania. Reports that
Trump will have bulletproof glass now added to his rallies
for protection after the July thirteenth assassination attempt. Kamala Harris
finally did a one on one interview yesterday with her
running mate Tim Falls, lending an assist.

Speaker 9 (03:02):
We got to help people get through a hard time.
So we can't have a country and policies that let
people fall through the cracks.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yeah, that video posted to YouTube. Harris says she's agreed
to a pair of presidential debates. One that we know of,
September tenth is the date on ABC. Don't know the
date of a second one. We know it will not
be with Fox Walts and Trump's running mate jd. Vance.
They will do a separate debate on October first, is

(03:34):
five oh three. Now. Trump lawyers have asked for the
September eighteenth sentencing in his Manhattan business fraud case should
be pushed back until after the election, but that's been
denied by the judge and the former federal prosecutor. Andy
McCarthy says, don't be surprised at that Manhattan Judge Jemrshawn
sentences Trump to jail.

Speaker 10 (03:55):
They'll be able to make an argument in the final
weeks of the campaign stretch run that the former president
is a multiply convicted sellon who's looking at a prison sentence.
I think that's what they want to accomplish.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yep. McCarthy, with kJ rihis Klaye Travis, and Buck Sexton,
we know that the Biden government is working weekly now
with big tech to censor opposition speech and media, as
it did so successfully back in the twenty twenty race.
So how much more of this election interference between now
and November.

Speaker 11 (04:27):
Unfortunately, they've basically gotten the green light to do it
all again.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
FBI was challenged directly on their manipulation of social media platforms,
and the Supreme Court punted on it, allowing you to continue.

Speaker 11 (04:39):
Rick Manning with Americans for Limited Government says, at this point,
we have to assume there'll be more government interference.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Are right? They're working to manipulate the election process. They
were given full power to do so, both the Supreme
courting and Congress's failure to act.

Speaker 11 (04:53):
Manning says, the best way to really stop this behavior
is by electing a president who will crack down on it.
Ethan Buchannan News Radio seven four KTRH.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
It is now five oh five. Recent Rasmus and polling
shows that fifty five percent of likely voters in this
country do believe there are illegal aliens in their very
own cities who are being registered to vote.

Speaker 12 (05:16):
They know where these people are, They've given them phones,
they've moved them around to the states. They want them in.
All they have to do is given SOBD security numbers.
With the SOB security number, they can get a driver's
license in most states, maybe all states, and guess what,
then they can register to vote and they don't have
to prove citizenship.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxson, and he says he's been
expecting this for many months. An illegal alien from Peru,
wanted for twenty three murders in his own country, now
back in custody this morning in New York. Gianfranco Torres
Navaro crossed the border near Roma, Texas in May. Released
into this country. It took the Feds two months, though,

(05:53):
to figure out that he was a murderer and shouldn't
be here at all. It is five oh six. A
new version of the illegal Uplift Harris money giveaway has
passed once again in the Harris County Commissioner's Court. It
happened yesterday despite the original version being struck down by
the Texas Supreme Court. So what's the new version?

Speaker 13 (06:15):
All we could tell is that there has been an
increased and administrative cost and the addition of some codes
on debit cards that wouldn't allow the lucky winners to
buy certain services.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
Texas Senator Paul betten Gord, he says, other than that
is the same program illegal program. Precinctree Commissioner Tom Ramsey,
the lone Republican on the Court, will be joining Houston's
Morning News. We're going to talk to him about this
at seven point fifty. George Soros continues funding his radically
liberal agenda, directing prosecutors all across our country.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
A study from the Media Research Center found he controls
them post election.

Speaker 14 (06:57):
George Sorows's network even dictates who these offices will hire
into the junior ranks. George Soros is trying to take
over the entire American judicial system.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Dan Schneider of the MRC says George's more radical son,
Alex is taking the reins. Many of the prosecutors even
signed pledges vowing to not enforce the law that.

Speaker 14 (07:16):
Is illegal, unethical, and when they conspire to do it
like they've done here, it seems to me that's a
Rico violation.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
He says, this amounts to a prosecutorial veto and needs
to be stopped. Andre Perard News Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Wonder why millions of Americans are leaving big cities for
more rural ways of life. They're on the run.

Speaker 15 (07:36):
At a very deep level, people want to feel like
they live in real America, and part of what that
means is places that are more rural and traditional that
haven't had as much rapid change in development.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Josh Abatoy with the federal as he tells kg ORH,
he did it himself. He moved to Middle Tennessee from
sugar Land. How do you escape left his control? Though,
When people like Bill Gates recently bought another two hundred
and seventy thousand acres of farmland, and the biggest investment firms,
black Rock, for instance, owning more than one point six
million acres of land in the USA, you can't run.

(08:12):
It's astros hosting the White Sox Deny pregame at six
on Sportstock seven ninety first pitch after seven, when we
will join here as well on KTRH STROS beginning this
day with a three game lead. Now on Seattle and

Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Give you one guess as to why the candles are
going to be recalled. One guess, and one guess only
you have. This is your chance to get an eight
plus plus right now. Why would you recall a candle?
What are they concerned with? The candle toxic? Nope, sorry,
exploding candles. No, they're they're afraid it'll.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
They'll mess up the universe.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
They're afraid is flammable. It's even sillier than you could
ever imagine. Isn't that the idea behind the cat.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Away in a sane world that I would ever guess
that correctly?

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Oh well, you can't think like a sane person anymore. Yes,
they are recalling the candles. Trader Joe's recalling six hundred
and fifty thousand scented candles due to a fire hazard.
Isn't a candle by nature a potential fire hazard.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
It's self emolates, It's a flame, it's self emolates. I mean,
it's a fuel source.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Quick.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, recall involves mango tangerine. First of all, nobody should
have a sended candle that smells like mango tangerine Skew
number five, six, eight, seven nine. Case you have a
couple of these, the candles are white colored wack with
a cotton wick and the tin container way about five
point seven ounces. Consumers should immediately stop using the candles
sold in June of this year and return them for

(10:09):
a full refund because they're flammable. Okay, here's another one,
another recall for you. This one makes more sense. Cucumbers.
Oh no, cucumbers recalled. Four hundred and forty nine people
in thirty one states have been sickened by salmonella points.
I think we've had a lot of that lately. Here's

(10:31):
the good news. Does not impact Texas. The growers out
of Florida. The one that grew these cucumbers is based
out of Florida. It involves Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland,
North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
and West Virginia, but not Texas. Here's what I've learned
about food recalls. If I've learned nothing else, you know

(10:52):
what they never recall in food? Have you ever heard
of a recall on French fries? I have never heard
of a recall in French Fries. The moral of this
story is, don't eat salad and cucumbers, eat French Fries.
Time for traffic and weather together, good check out or spam?
Yeah what teekies? What could possibly go wrong with spam?
Spem key Peter.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
It never rites, that's the whole point of it. Okay,
let's go over to the hard work at east side
of town. Put your hard hat on. This is East
sam northbound at two twenty five. They got a wreck
right here at the entrance.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Right.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
I'm going to push a couple of button. See if
I can pull up that camera on it so I
look directly. But it doesn't show to have a big
backup just yet. I've got some police activity. I don't
know what they're doing. And this never happens here north
freeway hat tidwell in the feeder road there. Just stay
on the main lanes. You won't even know it's a problem.
In northbound southbound. No, we're in good shape both ways here.

(11:44):
If you're coming down from the Woodlands twenty three minutes
to ninety, if you had a grand march at your wedding,
you're in great shape. Grand park Way all the way
in just an easy twenty six minute stroll to the
west Loop six ' ten and your Southwest Freeway from
the Brazis River. You know that roadwork doomes this weekend
southbound from University. Just know, from Sugarland down to Rosenberg,

(12:05):
I could be kind of a smush. They've already redone
the lanes, did a little field trip there, and yes,
they've already put the text top wall of death over
on the right side. If I had, you know, cabbage
last night, I wouldn't drive in that lane. Skymike in
the classic elite GMC Traffic Center brob r KTRH top
Tax Defenders twenty four hour weather sentator Terry Smith is there.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
I'd like to issue a recall them this forecast if
I could, due to excessive sweating.

Speaker 16 (12:30):
Oh my goodness, I'm right there with you. You know, we
expect eating humidity, we know that. But come on, we've
had enough. Let's do something different, let's kind of mix
it up. But it doesn't look like that's going to
happen through Tuesday at this point.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
That's as far as I've looked so far.

Speaker 16 (12:47):
There is a twenty percent chance you may get an
afternoon thunderstorm today and tomorrow, Sunday, Monday dry Tuesday of
twenty percent chance of rain, So it basically doesn't change
through Tuesday. Temperatures today and tomorrow im into upper nineties
Sunday and Monday, and even into Tuesday. We'll see some
places one hundred degrees or higher.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
We're going to keep an eye on this if you're outside.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 16 (13:12):
The heat and humidity can definitely have an impact on
the quality of your enjoyment outside. So heat advisory today
until eight o'clock tonight. Heat index as high as one ten.
I don't see that changing either through the weekend. Right
down to eighty two at your officials Severe Weather Station.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherah with the
info you need to take on the day. Right So,
I have no delusions at all that there are people
spying on me all the time. I know for a
fact that General Motors spies on me. What I didn't
know is that they're sending that information to insurance companies.

(13:53):
They are just spying on me. They're selling that information
to insurance companies. Attorney Gerald ken Paxton, he's going to
sue General Motors. More on that story coming up next.
First though, why am.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
I getting these ads for European women want to meet you?

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Where did that come from? I have he must be
reading your mind, Skymike. What's going over the drive?

Speaker 5 (14:12):
I've got to do some south side here. Let's check
out your golf freeway. So I forty five, see we
still show that smudge on the onlines. They can't get
rid of it. Around Dickinson. I don't have any closure.
I've got roadwork. Of course, that's a lifestyle from Tiki
Island up to the bottom of Dickinson. But as far
as closures, we look to be wide open. From what
I see, we have that police activity. Nope, it's cleared.

(14:33):
I forty five southbound at tid Well. If someone's riding
with you that's in a little trouble, just watch out,
but stay on the mainlanes. Twenty two minutes now from
the Woodlands down. Everything else rocks. I'll defer Skymike and
the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic.

Speaker 4 (14:46):

Kamala Harris is going to roll out what she says
is her economic agenda today. It was a violent night

bottom of the hour.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Pasadena, a living, clearly reliable KTRH traffic and weather.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Next on the.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Ten, General Motors is telling everybody where that Chevrolet's parked.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Okay, just so you know, dude, and how fast you
drive it?

Speaker 4 (15:50):
How fast you drove to get there?

Speaker 6 (15:51):
Can you hit the brake?

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Uh huh, it's not just it's not just the See
here's the thing. I have a General, I have a Chevrolet.
I have a Chevy Traverse. My wife has as Chevrolet.
We we both opted out of the on Star program
for that very fear. You know that on the rare
occasion that they know that the air bag should deploy
and they're going to call somebody, I might behalf in
an emergency. I'll take a chance on that. I just

(16:13):
I don't want I see other things that I was
concerned about. But I don't think that gets me out
of anything, because I still get a report every month
from them that, you know, an engine diagnostic list, all
that kind of stuff, what my tire pressure is. I
get that every month. So they're still spying on me.
And I'm sure they're selling that information. And because they're

(16:33):
selling that information, especially to insurance companies, you want to
know why your insurance rates are going up. That's probably
why an Attorney General, Ken Paxton yesterday came out and
said we are going to sue General Motors over this.

Speaker 12 (16:45):
We believe that General Motors collect a day without telling
consumers they were it was not disclosed by getting involved
in their on Star program, and they created commission systems
for the dealerships to encourage more people to be part
of that, but they did not disclose that they're we're
collecting driving data, including how fast you're driving, whether you're
night driving, whether you're making hard terms, hard breaks, whether

(17:08):
you're using your seatbell. All of this information was collected
and then it was sold to various companies, including insurance companies.
And you can imagine what happened when insurance companies got
this data. There are many car manufacturers that have employed
the same practices, and the downside is exactly what I suggested,
That consumers unknowingly are providing this information that causes then

(17:29):
their insurance rates either go up or they end up
being terminated. And here they have these car companies. They
are supposedly selling them a product, and then these companies
are using data against them, making a profit not telling them,
and then these consumers are all hurt.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
So, yeah, we're looking.

Speaker 12 (17:44):
At a lot of different car manufacturers and we're going
to continue to do that, and if we find that
they've done these same types of practices, we'll follow the
same lawsuits.

Speaker 17 (17:51):
But is there any effort in Texas to say you
know what, I should have an opt out as a
driver of one of your vehicles that you actually I
can use all the I can all use all the
tools are on the vehicle, but I can opt out
of you taken and selling my data.

Speaker 12 (18:06):
So you know what, as we have a legislative session
coming up in January, we are just discovering.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
This over the last year.

Speaker 12 (18:11):
So I'm going to encourage the legislature and of course
our governors to sign off on this because I think
it's pretty important that that consumers know what they're getting
into and that these manufacturers are required to disclose. And
if consumers decide they want to do it and they're
willing to pay for it and they're willing to have
their information sold, I'm guessing most consumers are not gonna
like that. But at least as they're informed, they can

(18:34):
make the decision, as opposed to not knowing and adding
the car manufacturers not only make the decisions that I'll
also profit off that data.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
At least the Great State of Texas no longer sells
my data. That changed in twenty twenty one where Dan
Oldigar where.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
The Department of pop Driver's License off.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
The driver's license, voter registration stuff. They can't do that
anymore as of twenty twenty one, so at least most
most states, they still.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
Focus on much of it as public record.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Anyway, that's true too.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
Then go online and look at.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Us and what I see about a data breach with
Social Security?

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Major data beach, major data breach. It was a gigantic
hack and it's all kinds of information and I don't
have a whole lot of details. I'll bumps behind a firewall,
you know, unless I sign on to let them track
me wherever I can't read it. Sure exactly, Yeah, it
has happened.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yep. So you know there's there's You're just not safe.
Your information is impossible to keep safe. Five twent six,
It is time to take a look at your money.

Speaker 8 (22:17):
The only thing Kamala Harris can deliver is horrific inflation,
massive crime.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
And the death of the American dream. Death of the
American dream. Donald Trump taking questions for more than an
hour yesterday at a news conference in New Jersey, his
second in a week. Meantime, Kala Harris has yet to
do a single one or even a solo interview, Trump
blaming her for what she has done to the country

(22:42):
and to him personally.

Speaker 8 (22:46):
I'm very angry at her that she'd weaponized the justic
system against me and other people. I think I'm entitled
to personal attacks.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
I don't have a lot of respect for Trump. Will
be back on the campaign trail tomorrow in Pennsylvania for
a rally that will be at three pm hour time.
Harris campaigned in Maryland yesterday with more cover. President Joe
Biden CaMLA I.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Heard today to make a major in Austma.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
He mispronounced her name. Apparently this was his first campaign
event with Harris since being forced from the race last month.
Harris unveils what she says would be her new economic
plan today in North Carolina. Mainstream media has cast a
fake glow of approval all over Harris, who just a
couple months ago was the most unpopular vice president in

(23:34):
our history. That are called that hand.

Speaker 21 (23:39):
The practice given her a free ride, and everybody knows
that it's been a few weeks without her answering questions.
She went weeks without even having to answer questions. They
gave her a bit of a honeymoon.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
That's a Trump campaign co chair Chris lats Chavida. He
told Fox News that Brian Fox News Brian killmead that
despite all this gaslighting, a Maria can see that Harris's
policies don't work well. We talk all the time about
election day November five, but some states actually begin voting

North Carolina, with five other states starting in person early
voting before the end of September. Former Texas gopchair Steve Unister,
he says, like it or not, this is the new
reality for elections.

Speaker 22 (24:26):
The first ballots go out in September, and now we
have a good number of states that have early voting
anywhere from about a month ahead of time to six
weeks ahead of time. So really the elections not in November.
The election starts in September and ends in November.

Speaker 19 (24:41):
He adds Republicans need to embrace early voting or risk
losing the election. Early voting in Texas begins October nineteenth.

KTRH News time now five point thirty five. Looking at
her money. The government numbers claim inflation is easy, but
Heritage Foundation economist Steve Moore says main street Americans aren't
getting any relief.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Going to McDonald's.

Speaker 24 (25:53):
If you look at the price of buying meat and
eggs at the grocery store, if you look at people's
rent and mortgages, those are up in some cases by
twenty five and thirty percent.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Yeah, I get this. A recent op ed in USA
Today claims, quote Americans should be feeling pretty good about
their finances and the economy end quote. More and more
of main street Americans feel we are actually in recession,
and some economists are turning to get this Jimmy lipstick
sales to determine if we are or when we might be.

Speaker 25 (26:28):
The reports are coming out that we are having a
soft landing, and I don't think any of us really know,
so now they're heaving not to be lovely, little eight
quirky indicator of whether we're going to be in a
recession or not.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Whether we are buying lipstick or underwear, As financial expert
Monica Hengebock told kg or H, along with lipstick, sales
of men's underwear can be used to predict how consumers
are feeling about the health of the economy.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
Let me hold you right there, just say this, No,
here's what I need to know about this, especially as
relates to men's underwear. Are men buying more or less
underwear if the economy is in a recession? Can I
assume that they buy less?

Speaker 21 (27:10):
Not?

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Maybe they may.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
Maybe they're saying oh and having to buy more.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
Maybe they have to change their underwear more often. That
could be.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
I don't know about the lipstick. Who's buying the lipstick?
Five point thirty seven is our time, boy? Or we
off time?

World Health Organization declared ring monkey pox a global.

Speaker 26 (29:03):
Except don't call it monkeypox, call it impox. No, I'm
calling it monkeypox. It's much more fun. Is declared a
global health emergency. Of course, if they declared global health
emergency for something, that means that the entire world has
to do what the World Health Organization wants them to do,
because we all have a treaty with them. I guess
not the U, and I voted for that treaty.

Speaker 6 (29:24):
Honey. You know, they declare it and then they ask
for more money. They need money, sure, in order to
oversee this, and of course un needs money, and everybody
needs money, and here we go.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
The thing about monkey pox is called monkeypox for a
reason because it started with monkeys, and generally it's spread
in the animal kingdom. The only way you could get
monkey pox it's a human yeah, is if you have
direct intimate contact with a monkey. So, first of all, anybody,

(29:56):
well not anybody anymore, but whoever started this in the
human species was doing something probably pretty disgusting with a
monkey and you have to do something fairly depending on
your point of view, disgusting in order to get monkey box.
It is a sexually transmitted disease for the most part,
you know, or at least you're going to have to
do some serious French kitchen kitchen kissen in order to

(30:19):
be able to get it. It's not if it's not
like a virus. It's not like if you're in a room,
but probably with monkey pox and they breathe out that
you can get it. It's very difficult to contract it,
and it's and it's a minute portion of the population.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Of the world.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
The best vaccine they got to find a vaccine. You
know how quickly it moved from HIV to COVID nineteen
now to im box. Mm hmmm, So that we fall
for it every time?

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Yeah, we'll see if we fall for this one. I'm
not five forty die for trafficking. Whether to government a
new urban slang word, you know, monkey pox? No, that
was that was that was the original name.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
Was the original name. They make us call it him.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
They want to call it inbox now because you don't
want to call people monkeys. I'm not putting on my
mask or We don't want to blame monkeys for this either.
You might you know, you might have a hate crime
against a monkey.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Oh no, no, no, we're not going We're not. Let's
go to the north side here and just stay out
of all that. It's Nord's Freeway I forty five. We're
coming down from the Woodlands. We look good. Twenty two
minutes into downtown. Piece of cake here east Sam northbound
at two twenty five. That rick's a little tough to see.
He's on the entrance rimp right before. If you're going
to the northbound side of the toll bridge, we're actually

(31:30):
in good shape here. Let's check the southbound suckage. Oh there,
it is an extra two or three minutes right around,
just just s into a quart If you're just going
to do a one lane bridge, do it now. I
personally always take Sixten instead or the beautiful Fred Hartman Bridge.
Did you know it's way longer than the Golden Gate
both ways Baytown to Laport. We're in good shape elsewhere.
What else did we have? Oh just the roadwork on

(31:52):
the south Loop six ten starting to smudge up a
little bit around Culling on the eastbound side on the westbound,
sorry westbound, the other way eastbound. We have a new
lane and it's wonderful. I'm Skymike and the Generator Supercenter,
dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Rom R KATRH Generator Supercenter twenty four. Our weather Center
Terry Smith is here keep you in eye on the
weekend forecast. We need to come up with a new
way to describe what's happening around here. Maybe we can
come up with a sweat index or something.

Speaker 16 (32:21):
Well, I was about to pull out the scoop index.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Remember this, well, get let's how many scoops of ice
cream will it take the cool down this weekend? How
many gallons of ice cream will it take a cool
down this weekend?

Speaker 6 (32:31):
Maybe it should be the gallon index.

Speaker 16 (32:35):
I'm thinking easily two scoops might help to ease that
summer heat.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
And it's gonna stay with us through early next week.
At least. There's very little rain.

Speaker 16 (32:47):
Twenty percent chance of a shower thunderstorm today and tomorrow,
Sunday and Monday. Right now, I'd say just basically dry
Tuesday or twenty percent chance of rain.

Speaker 6 (32:55):
So we're in the mid to.

Speaker 16 (32:56):
Upper nineties into early next week, but we're going to
flirt with one hundred and some spots tomorrow and as
high as one o two Sunday Monday. So that gives
you an idea of what we're dealing with. Not much change,
lots of heat. There's a heat advisory today because our
heat index is at one ten.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
Over the weekend, we'll have a heat advisory.

Speaker 16 (33:15):
There's the potential for excessive heat wardings if we get
a little more humidity to creep in here. Hopefully that
won't be the case, but I'm sure when I get
back on Monday, we'll be talking about the same thing.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Use Radio seven forty KTRH and Greg Guttfeld thinks that
Time Magazine should be embarrassed for having done what they did.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
I assure you these people cannot be embarrassed. Here's a
Gutfield in his panel stake on this.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
I'll cover but no interview kat.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
This is so humiliating for Time magazine.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
They put Kamala Harrison.

Speaker 20 (36:47):
It's covered to the fawning piece after she denied an
interview and wouldn't even sit for a photo.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
There a sketch out like she's sitting on a chair
in Time square.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Is that is Sarah.

Speaker 28 (37:02):
It's so crazy that they appear to just be using
like the Biden model with totally, which is what people
kind of accepted it because they're like because like look
at the guy, like can he sit for the interview
physically right?

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Like it was like those issues, yes.

Speaker 28 (37:18):
But they're just doing the same thing. Even though she's
to my assumption, she seems to be able bodied. She walks,
she walks around, she says words. I think it's it's
very obvious she is not a candidate so much as
a media manufactured vibe. And I get if she's herself

(37:41):
and she goes out, it ruins it'll ruin that vibe.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Right.

Speaker 28 (37:44):
That's why first dates are like so nerve wracking, because
if you've been like talking on the app, like when
they meet me, it's going to ruin it.

Speaker 25 (37:50):
Right.

Speaker 28 (37:50):
But I want people just when they interview her to
maybe just ask her a simple question, what do you
mean by that?

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yes, a well placed what do you mean by that?

Speaker 28 (38:05):
We has been very strongly lacking. I think in our
interviews of these people for years and years, you.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Just struck upon a great way to derail.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
A first date.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
It says, somebody, what do you mean by that? Wohil
just destroy the date?

Speaker 29 (38:19):
What do you mean?

Speaker 20 (38:19):
Because you're always trying to stay in the first impression mode.

Speaker 21 (38:22):
You want to stay as the unopened Christmas gift.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
You don't want to be opened up.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Well, it opened up the candle gift. It'll keep on giving.
I assure you, Oh, I got you the answer and
the lipstick you ready for less?

Speaker 6 (38:32):
I'm ready.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Men buy less underwear.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
Women buy more lipstick.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
Buy more lipstick. When the economy is bad, it's.

Speaker 6 (38:39):
Kind of like you know, when you gain weight, you
buy shoes because you can't.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Because you don't want to buy bigger size.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
To replace your whole wardrobe of bigger sizes.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah, okay, maybe.

Speaker 6 (38:50):
You can't do it. You can't for other things. Maybe
you buy lipstick, but lipstick fifteen bucks for one little
thing of Jubi lipstick, the last one I bought.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
I went, who, how long would that last?

Speaker 6 (39:01):
You though, well, I've got lipstick. I got old.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
Lipstick goes back to your high school years.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
It gets a little dry.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
I got you. Okay, that's why I bought a new one.
But I went, oh, my word, that's what they mean
by the lipstick underwear thing. Men buy less underwear, women
buy more lipstick. The economy's going bad. Five fifty six.

It is now six oh two on news Radio seven
forty KTRH. Is new sponsored by Plants for all seasons.
Our top story this hour the big retailers. They're the
ones who are taking in the most money now because
retail sales increased one percent in July. The projection was
it was going to zero point three percent, and it
was like triple. Small business owners though, the ones who

(41:29):
can't do that amount of volume, they're having a tougher
time in this economy as a.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Small business owner.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I didn't qualify for unemployment. I went to zero income overnight.
Govnor Waltz and his staff. They were happy to sit
home and collect a paycheck.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Well that's not something I could do.

Speaker 6 (41:46):
Yeah, that was a guy in Minnesota, a small business owner.
Andrew Hols on Fox Business. Harris Wall's economic plan meantime
is supposed to be released today. Apparently is going to
include price controls on food. Soon you won't have food
Soviet style controls. It has been proven. Here's something Kamala

(42:10):
Harris won't tell us either. She created this inflation mess
herself by being the deciding vote on the so called
American Rescue Plan, you know, the out of control spending
by government that gave us inflation.

Speaker 8 (42:24):
Grocery prices of skyrocketed cereals are up twenty six percent,
Brett is up twenty four percent, butter is up thirty
seven percent. Baby formula is up thirty percent.

Speaker 6 (42:36):
Donald Trump in New Jersey, his second news conference, by
the way, in a week. He will be back on
the campaign trail tomorrow afternoon in Pennsylvania, his second trip
there since the attempted assassination July thirteenth. Butler Harris still
hasn't scheduled a news conference, but she sat down with
a sort of interview yesterday interviewed with Tim Walls by

(42:58):
Tim Walls, her running mate, who actually didn't ask any
questions what.

Speaker 30 (43:04):
Kamala as in hiding, very much like Joe Biden was
in the basement Bar and Waltz having a conversation together.
You're not fooling the American people. We know what you're doing.
You are not sitting down for an interview where questions
are asked. Just because you giggle with your friend does
not mean you can answer hard questions.

Speaker 6 (43:19):
Oh this is so much fun. Trump legal spokesperson Alina Habba.
His defense team has asked for the sentencing in the
Manhattan sham trial to be pushed back from September eighteenth
until after the election, but of course they're not going
to do it. Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy says Judge
Wan Murshan is wanting to impose a jail sentence for

(43:41):
political reasons.

Speaker 10 (43:43):
I think that the point here is for the Democrats
to be able to argue that Trump is a convicted
sellon who's facing a stiffs prison sentence.

Speaker 6 (43:51):
Yep McCarthy with kg r h's Klay Travis buck Sexton,
it's six oh five lack of action from the US
Supreme Court, as well as Congress not passing appropriate laws.
So chances are there's going to be a lot more
election interference until November and maybe beyond.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
We have to assume it's continuing because the Supreme Court
refused to put an end to it. So yeah, I
think you can assume that they're doing the same thing. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:19):
Rick Manning with Americans for Limited Government, he's talking specifically
about the FBI meeting weekly with big Tech in order
to tamp down any opposition talk. He says, the only
way to stop this is to elect a president who
will actually crack down on it. And of course, in
that vein, more than half of voters now believe that

(44:40):
illegal aliens are being registered by the left to vote
or at least get ballots in this election.

Speaker 31 (44:49):
Our recent Rasmussen survey says fifty five percent of likely
voters belief illegal aliens are registered to vote in their area.

Speaker 12 (44:56):
Telling the cartels get them here, and we want these
people here as as possible, and we want as many
as possible.

Speaker 31 (45:02):
Texas AG Kim Paxton says once non citizens get a
Social Security number, they can end up getting a driver's
license and voting in our elections.

Speaker 12 (45:10):
There is a reason that these people were brought here,
and I believe it was voting.

Speaker 31 (45:13):
State officials believe more than ten million people have entered
the country illegally since twenty twenty one. Charit Lewis News
Radio seven forty KRH And if you.

Speaker 6 (45:21):
Don't know it already, here's more proof of the open
borders and the danger to Americans Under Biden Harris. A
Singleese illegal alien now charged with raping a woman in
New York City. Papa Jopp was released into this country
after crossing the border in Arizona back in May. Didn't
take long to commit crime. It is now six oh six.

(45:45):
A new version of the Uplift Harris money giveaway did
pass a course the Democrat controlled Harris County Commissioner's Court.
The original, by the way, Uplift program was turned down
declared illegal by the Texas Supreme Court.

Speaker 13 (46:04):
This is a set by Judge Lean Oldago to repackage
the one point nine thousand lucky winners and do nothing
for the eighty thousand losers, much less the fact that
it's now going to cost the taxpayers twenty point eight
million dollars.

Speaker 6 (46:21):
Texas Senator Paul Bettett Court only commissioner to vote against it.
PREASINC Three's Tom Ramsey, the lone Republican on the court.

Road TRH, time saving traffic connect on the ten.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
Why would you enter into a lease for eight hundred
million dollars for generators who don't use doesn't seem like
a wise investment, per center point. And it had to
be approved by the Public Utility Commission, which approved it,
so they did it.

Speaker 6 (47:18):
Now, of course they didn't use them.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Then they didn't use them.

Speaker 6 (47:22):
During barrel uh huh. So what what are these generators?
Are they movable generators? Are they?

Speaker 4 (47:27):
I think they're movable? But they are huge?

Speaker 6 (47:30):
Okay, they're huge they're meant to bring on, like if
you need to back up a hospital or emergency center,
a senior citizens exactly, resident high rise something exactly.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
So why why why weren't they used that way? They
weren't used that way at all. Center Point executives met
in front of the Public Utility Commission and said that, hey,
we hear that you'd like us to cancel our lease,
but we can't. Why not? Well, according to Jason Ryan
set Appoints, Executive VP of Regulatory Services and Government Affairs,

(48:07):
the contract cannot be terminated unless the contra, unless the vendor,
who is life Cycle Power, fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The lease does not end until twenty twenty nine OOP,
so they're stuck with these generators until twenty twenty nine.
I guess my question would be if you had any question, Well,

(48:29):
even if you didn't have any question, even if you thought, well, yeah,
we're going to use these generators and we'll use them
on a fairly frequent basis to get our money's worth
out of it. Why would you enter into a lease
that has no outlaws, no way to get out of it.
I mean, especially to the tune of eight hundred million dollars,
basically taxpayer money. Why would you do that?

Speaker 6 (48:49):
Yeah, it's so complicated. There are so many layers of
regulation in this and contracts and contractual law that is.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
And if we talk.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
Just center point on Monday, I've been kicking myself all
week that I didn't bring up that topic. But it's
too complicated. We don't I don't know.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
Starting to figure it out in three or four minutes,
that's for sure. But I hate keep going to going
back to this one point. But if there's one entity
in here that I'm more disappointed with than anybody else,
it's the Public Utility Commission. It's their job to protect us.
And if you're going to approve an eight hundred million
dollar contract, why wouldn't you read the contract? Why wouldn't

(49:31):
you say, hey, listen, But we're a little concerned that
you know, this is a hard and fast lease. This
this is eight hundred million dollars and you have no
way to get out of it. If for any reason whatsoever,
you know, they should they should be taking a harder
look at these things. And I just have to wonder
about the qualifications of the people who are serving on
this on this Commission.

Speaker 6 (49:49):
They're appointed by the governor.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Well, there you go. Then the butt stops with him,
doesn't it.

Speaker 6 (49:53):
Yes, it does.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Six eleven. Time for traffic and whether together.

Speaker 5 (49:55):

next chance for rain, and it's only a twenty percent
chance of rain.

At this point.

Speaker 16 (52:24):
Temperatures generally mid up for nineties. We're going to see
a few days Tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday where our temperatures
will be at one hundred or higher for some spot.
The big question is is there going to be a
heat advisory or in excessive heat warning. Either way, you
do the same thing. You limit your time outside, you
make sure you stay hydrated and all that.

so they primaried her out.

So the Sorrows another Sorrows bag. Yeah, exactly right, candidate.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
Right, yep. So if you don't follow the marching orders
of the of the George and Alex Soros, you two
could be primaried out and be looking for a brand

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Send alternate next on the ten h law and disorder. Yep,
the Soros machine directs and controls prosecutors across the entire country.
He's certainly doing it here in Houston. Dan Snyder, vice
president of the MRC Free Speech America, the Soros agenda
has been effectively been implemented, I think in every major

(55:20):
city in America. Would you agree, Dan?

Speaker 14 (55:23):
Yeah? You know it used to be that when these
people ran for county prosecutor, the DA position is your
standard Democrat versus your standard Republican. But George Soros has
turned that all upside down. He picks the people he wants,
he backs them for uh, you know, for electoral politics,
you know, actually spending forty million dollars at least, you know,

(55:46):
in these independent expenditure ads to get his people elected.
And then, as you pointed out with Kim Ogg, if
you don't toe the line, if you don't call when
he backs, he's going to take you out, how is this.

Speaker 6 (55:59):
Different than we're talking about district attorneys in largely massive
urban areas all across the country. Doesn't this apply to
every election everywhere in America? Now, the money buys.

Speaker 14 (56:14):
This goes so far beyond the general concerns people have
for other races. You know, there are many positions, judicial
positions where you know, where people hold these judge ships
by winning at the ballot box.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Same with these prosecutor positions.

Speaker 14 (56:30):
It is unlawful for judges and attorneys, these prosecutors to
sign pledges vowing not to enforce laws. If you're a
candidate for Congress or your state legislature, you can sign
those kinds of pledges. You cannot do it if you're
running for a judge ship or if you're running for
a prosecutor role. But that's exactly what these people have done.

(56:53):
This whole George Soros network of organizations that have really
been controlling these prosecutors have demanded that these people sign pledges.
And down in Texas it's probably the worst where where
your prosecutors and there are schates of these Soros prosecutors
in Texas the worst are we call the Texas five.
But they signed pledges vowing not to enforce the laws

(57:18):
that you all put on the books that make it
illegal to perform sex change operations on kids. Same with
pro life measures. They vowed not to enforce the law.
But your Texas Constitution and the US Constitution do not
allow prosecutors to have a role in the legislative process.

(57:38):
This amounts to a prosecutorial veto, and that is unconstitutional.
It's unlawful. And these people are conspiring to break the law.
They're supposed to be enforcing the law. They're supposed to
be our chief law enforcement officers. But George Soros is
dictating to them what their agenda is going to be,
what their priorities are going to be. He actually is

(57:59):
the one taking people to be employed in their offices.
He runs and controls them.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
I would think being unwilling to enforce state law, is
it impeachable offense? Is it not?

Speaker 14 (58:11):
Well? Some of these people have in fact been removed.
Governor DeSantis in Florida has been able to, you know,
yank a couple of these people out of their their positions.
Some of these prosecutors have been prosecuted themselves for their
illegal conduct.

Speaker 21 (58:27):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (58:27):
And and then of course, We've seen some of these
people then lose at.

Speaker 4 (58:30):
The ballot box.

Speaker 14 (58:32):
These people are so radical that even the radical voters
in San Francisco have have have sent these people packing.
But you've got some real doozies in Texas and uh
and at some point things are going to get so
bad because you know, crime rises with these people because
violent criminals are let go. But at some point you

(58:54):
texans is going to have to have to take action
and get these people removed.

Speaker 6 (58:58):
Yeah, and sadly, you know, DA's oftener at the top
of local tickets. And so the judge ships kind of
follow in the Democrat party when the Democrat because it's
Democrats we're talking about here, right.

Speaker 14 (59:11):
Well, you know it's not your grandfather's Democrat party. These
are the radicals, you know there. Look, I've got plenty
of fine friends who are Democrats and they are scratching
their head and saying, where did my party go? And
when it comes to these prosecutors that are the worst
of the worst, well, I'd wish George Soros dead, but
the son's even worse.

Kamala Harris is a radical California liberal who broke the economy,
broke the border, and broke the world.

Speaker 6 (01:02:01):
Frankly, Donald Trump in New Jersey taking questions for more
than an hour from reporters there. Kamala Harris hasn't done
that or even spoken to reporters for a news conference
for more than a minute. Trump taking offense to Kamala's
personal attacks on him.

Speaker 5 (01:02:21):
She certainly attacks me personally.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
She actually called me weird.

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
He's weird.

Speaker 8 (01:02:26):
It was just a SoundBite, and she called jayd and
I weird.

Speaker 6 (01:02:31):
Trump will be campaigning in Pennsylvania tomorrow afternoon. It's his
second trip to that state since the July thirteenth attempted assassination.
And we know now because of the congressional investigation into
it from Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins that the Secret Service
did not take out that shooter. Oh, it wasn't the

(01:02:52):
Secret Service snipers who took out Thomas Matthew Crooks. It
was a local police swat sniper who did. And guess what.
The Feds took control of the body and Crooks was
cremated without an autopsy by the Butler coroner. HMM. Secret
Services investigating reports that an agent yes left her post

(01:03:14):
to breastfeed during Trump's speech in Asheville, North Carolina on
Wednesday on duty, took her baby and other family members
and she was breastfeeding instead of at her post. Harris
was in Maryland yesterday along with President Joe Biden, who
tried telling jokes the guy we're.

Speaker 5 (01:03:33):
Running against what's his name?

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Donald?

Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
Dumped Donald?

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Whatever happened.

Speaker 6 (01:03:42):
It was the first joint campaign appearance for Harris and Biden,
who is in campaigning. Supposedly at one point he even
mispronounced her name. Yeah, he appointed her vice president because
of the mainstream media, Harris has managed to go from
being the least popular vice president ever in our history
to now what the most popular Democrat ever, more popular

(01:04:06):
than Obama.

Speaker 11 (01:04:08):
Pro Kamala bias is so bad that even Stephen Colbert's
audience sees it.

Speaker 22 (01:04:12):
I know you guys are objective over there that you
just report the news as it is.

Speaker 18 (01:04:17):
Oh, I know a CNN makes it, and I know
that that's supposed to be abline.

Speaker 11 (01:04:21):
I wasn't supposed to do, That's Colbert on his show
with CNN's Caitlin Collins. Trump advisor Daniel Alvarez told Fox
News the American people deserve better.

Speaker 28 (01:04:29):
We really do need to challenge the mainstream media.

Speaker 24 (01:04:32):
They are now in bed honeymooning with Kamala.

media bias by taking their message straight to the voters.

Kiss goodbye to election day. Is now election season, absentee
and early voting. Not to mention after election day counting
in many states, but as far as early voting, some
states are starting as early as September. Former Texas gpach
hair Steve Munister. He says, Republicans, you got to get
over ourly reluctance to all of this.

Speaker 22 (01:05:07):
We can't unilaterly dis arm. We can't be the one
party that says we would prefer everybody to vote on
election day, so we only vote on election day, whereas
the other party has many, many days to pick from.
You just can't get the Democrats that advantage.

Speaker 6 (01:05:22):
First absentee ballas where we sent out September sixth for
state start in person early voting as well before the
end of September. Texas early voting begins October nineteenth. The
Democrats impeach President Trump for even asking about it, but
now we know he was right. There was a Foyer
request made back in twenty twenty one, and we just

(01:05:43):
got the results and it shows that Hunter Biden actually
did reach out to the Democrat run State Department. It
was Obama, his father Joe as vice president, and Hillary
Clinton State Department for help with the corrupt Berezema. So

(01:06:03):
why won't the DOJ investigate Hunter he was acting as
a foreign agent.

Speaker 23 (01:06:09):
What is Hunter Biden doing? How's he trying to leverage
his influence because of his father to try to advance
the interest of foreign governments and foreign businesses. That should
all be within the scope of a Justice Department investigation.

Speaker 6 (01:06:23):
Yeah, and it actually worked. As we know well from
Joe's own mouth. Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John u
six point thirty five, six thirty six is our time. Inflation,
the government tells us is cooling, it's not rising as quickly,
but Heritage Foundation economist Steve Moore says, it's really enough

(01:06:43):
to make a difference.

Speaker 24 (01:06:44):
Is it everybody's really been crushed by this, by this inflation. Yes,
the rate of inflation is coming down, but everything's still
getting more expensive.

Speaker 6 (01:06:56):
Mainstream media, well, they are continuing the gas lighting. One
USA Today column has claimed, you should be feeling quote
pretty good about where the economy is right now. We
should Some financial experts looking at sales of lipstick to
measure the risk of a recession. Are we in one
or not? According to that metric, things aren't looking good.

Speaker 29 (01:07:18):
I think people need to start preparing for the possibility
of a recession. I think that it would be wise
for people to sort of tighten up the bootstraps.

Speaker 6 (01:07:30):
Yeah, financial expert Monica Henebock told kt r H lipstick
sales have begun to rise because it often means that
there's some who really are fearful that the economic downturn.
If it's not already here, it's on its way. Lipstick
does last for a long time, by it now as
expensive as it is Our news time six thirty seven,

It's thirty eight. It's our time here on Houston's morning news.
That is of course central daylight saving time, but they
don't have such a thing on the Moon. What time
is it on the moon?

Speaker 6 (01:08:59):
Nobody knows the time of whatever country is actually has
its feet on it. I guess, yeah, yeah, that's what
that's what they've done. Typically.

Speaker 4 (01:09:07):
Well, now they're saying I don't know why, but the
International Astronomical Union is calling on the world's space agencies
to develop a standardized time zone for the Moon. So
is the Moon small enough to have one time zone?

Speaker 6 (01:09:25):
I think what the problem is is it's something about
a twenty nine day twenty nine Earth day time in.

Speaker 4 (01:09:36):
A single day, twenty nine hours in a day instead
of twenty four hours a day in Earth.

Speaker 6 (01:09:39):
No, twenty nine days.

Speaker 4 (01:09:41):
Oh, twenty nine days is one day on the moon.

Speaker 6 (01:09:42):
Did I hear that? I heard it on our air
early this morning.

Speaker 4 (01:09:45):
I know I know the moon. Because the Moon has
reduced gravity, It's time moves slightly faster than on Earth,
fifty eight point seven microseconds per day. So there's one
problem that you'd have to figure out.

Speaker 6 (01:09:58):
But does the Moon. I don't know this. I didn't
do very well in a stroke.

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
I didn't what you got days and everything else?

Speaker 6 (01:10:08):
Does it rotate like Earth, it rotates or does it
only circumnavigate?

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
That's a good question.

Speaker 6 (01:10:14):
Our place a satellite, So does it turn.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
No, because it doesn't, that's right, And we always it takes.

Speaker 6 (01:10:20):
The moon twenty nine days.

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
To work its way around Earth.

Speaker 6 (01:10:23):
Around Earth? Right, So how do you decide? You know,
you don't have time zones on the moon because you
only have part of it facing you at any given time.
True enough, that's the way I understand.

Speaker 4 (01:10:34):
Okay, so maybe we've just found the reason why there
is no official time for the moon. Is this too
hard to figure out?

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
What the dark side of the moon? Yeah, we don't
the moon?

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
Does you only see one side of it? Yeah? Gosh, easy,
this is it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:10:49):
That's the problem with giving headlines.

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
You don't get all the details.

Speaker 6 (01:10:54):
Not as short as you think they are.

Speaker 4 (01:10:55):
They're not six forty times for traffic.

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
See one side of the moon, right, Yeah, that's it,
all right, whether it's the dark side right?

Speaker 4 (01:11:01):
All right?

Speaker 25 (01:11:01):
Yo?

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
What's up? We got a sitch on the north Sam
because you know, Terry, they had nobody else to work

have the roadwork at Aldan Bender. That's nasty enough. We
have this wreck eastbound. Where did my shot go here?

problem on the Golf Freeway southbound at Dallas Street. That's

and I'll take a little s heat right now. But
temperatures are going to be in the mid to upper

(01:14:03):
let's say, people under the age of thirty, do you
think they remember the Soviet Union or have learned anything
about what life was like in the Soviet Union?

Speaker 11 (01:14:11):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:14:12):
I agree, so I think we only weren't born. Then
we owe it to them.

Speaker 6 (01:14:17):
To talk to any movies about it, right, We.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
Owe it to them to explain what a grocery store
in the Soviet Union looked like and what it could
look like here, if we go into this price control mode, I.

Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
Remember Gorbachev coming to Houston and being taken by George H. W.
Bush to a grocery.

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
Stet and being amazed.

Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
And he knew from that moment on, Yeah, that the
Soviet style of government and price controls wouldn't work.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
Well, it doesn't.

Speaker 6 (01:14:42):
Work, but store shelves were bare.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
Yeah, it might be coming back traffic and weather together.
First though, Let's check out the drive with whistled and
it's that song about the Berlin with Mike Okay, oh okay.

Speaker 5 (01:14:53):
Forty five Downtown No, not that part of I forty five,
the Downtown Pierce elevated part of forty five Dallas Street
cleared the wreck. This is backing things up on both
forty five and it's connected, like your nebo into the
backups to the Ktie Freeway around to the b Someone Bridge.
You loose about three or four minutes going that way.
The big problem looks like they've cleared. There go the ambulances.

(01:15:14):
As I'm talking right now, they're about to open these

Mostly Sunday's like Chanceman afternoon shower ninety eight today, the
same forecast for tomorrow, and then just playing sunny and
hot on Sunday with a high one hundred temperature right
now eighty at your official severe weather station. News Radio
seven forty KTRH. Let's get you caught up on some
of our top stories on this Friday morning. Here's Shera.

Speaker 6 (01:15:47):
And good morning everyone is six fifty two on news
Radio seven forty KTRH. These headlines sponsored by Marral Mechanical
Time apparently healing. Donald Trump says he'd love to have
Nicki Hayley join him on the campaign trail. City of
Amarilla has approved language for a ballot measure that would
make it a sanctuary city for the unborn. An hid

(01:16:08):
student has died after collapsing at Marshall Middle School during
gym class. Reportedly, the school's defibrillator wasn't working. Latest news
anytime at KGH dot com at our next update will
be at the top of the hour.

Speaker 9 (01:16:24):
I will probably put my record against here.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
She's absolutely terrible.

Speaker 5 (01:16:28):
Your decision twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Headquarters is Youth Radio seventy KTRH.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
Kamala Harris might want to take us back to the
USSR with her, and we're going to find out more
about it later today. We're already being told short on
details throughout, no kidding there will be any details. She's
just gonna say, we need to take care of these
greedy corporations, and we need to prevent price gouging, and
food is too expensive. We need to put price controls

(01:16:55):
on food. Well, you put price controls on food, and
what happens, just like Shreff was telling you the supermarkets
that don't have a whole lot of food. Here's Monica
Crowley and ej Antoni talking about all this.

Speaker 7 (01:17:05):
It drives me crazy when I hear people say, well,
they just don't understand how the free market works. My
view is that you're dealing with absolute ideologues, and Kamala
Harris is certainly one. And you laid out the socialist,
the Marxist approach that she's embraced throughout her entire political life.
You laid that out very well. I think that these

(01:17:27):
people do understand how the free market works.

Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
They just reject it.

Speaker 7 (01:17:31):
So while she's going to try to cast herself as
some sort of fiscal moderate to attract voters, her entire
political career and her economic policy positions have belied all
of that. You know, she is the most radical vice president.
She has embraced massive expansions of government, massive government spending,

(01:17:52):
higher taxes, suffocating regulations, the Green New Deal, socialized medicine,
and selling out to China. All of those things are
hallmarks of where Kamala Harris has been on the economy
and the policy positions that she has embraced. If she
changes now, it's simply to get elected. Once she is

(01:18:13):
in that White House, her policies are essentially going to
be the coup de gras of the American capitalist system.

Speaker 34 (01:18:20):
Please explain to me how miss Harris's policies are not
in fact aligned with the communist ideology. When she's talking
about trying to artificially set prices for I don't care
if it's food or rent, you name it. And at
the end of the day, President Trump is absolutely correct here.
If you employ the same policies as we have had
in these other communist countries around the world, you will

(01:18:42):
get the same results here. Just like we had gas
shortages in the nineteen seventies, as you already mentioned, you
would get food shortages here in the United States if
you impose the same kind of price controls on grocery stores.

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
All right, we have ourselves. When did that be? Terris
and Cosby knew the right year was nineteen seventy five.
Well done, Terrence, you get a fair takes. Go see
Chris Stapleton August twenty fourth at made Park. Enjoyed the

coming up at seven o eight, what the State Department

(01:19:42):
said about Hunter Biden asking for help with Barisma. Details
in the minutes ahead on Houston's Morning News. First, let's
check out that morning drive again. Here's sky mile.

Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
I took longer than I thought to clear that all
the in Westfield problem on the north sam they're rolling
off while we're talking right now. That just pulled the
last ninja out of there. Ninjas just pulled the last
year out. They have reopened the left lane. They've stopped
pointing at things. We're still packed up from Green's Point
going that way eastbound Westfield. You got the roadwork, two
left lines missing at Haldan Westfield, hardy toll road, sudden

(01:20:12):
stop Doug from Conrad with the banana sticker. That's a
wreck at Parker two lanes and something scooching up in
Crosby again. Looks like ninety right before the Crosby exit.
We'll have to zuome that at the seven ten in

Here's Sheriff Fryar and.

Good morning everyone. It is now seven oh two on

Our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (01:20:55):
You know, if you go to the grocery store, no
matter if you're black, whiteter, brown, cereals, the same price.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
Gas is still unaffordable.

Speaker 5 (01:21:00):
Baby formula is unaffordable.

Speaker 19 (01:21:02):
Gasoline's gone up fifty percent.

Speaker 6 (01:21:04):
Trump campaign spokesperson Caroline Sunshine on Fox Business. Retail sales
shot up one percent in July. Surprisingly, it was triple
what analysts had expected. They don't forget this is based
on dollars not adjusted for inflation, and of course a
lot of it is attributed to putting it on credit

(01:21:26):
card credit card debt. Kamala Harris finally will unveil her
economic plan today, including her price gouging ban, which actually
is just Soviet style price controls by the government. Not
going over well with Donald Trump or anyone who's got
a brain.

Speaker 8 (01:21:44):
She wants price controls and if they worked, I'd go
along with it too, But they don't work. They actually
have the exact opposite impact and effect.

Speaker 6 (01:21:52):
Trump took reporter questions by the way for over an
hour yesterday in New Jersey, and he will be rallying
tomorrow and PENCILA. We'll have more in this at seven
p thirty. Kamala Harris finally did a sort of one
on one conversation yesterday with her running mate Tim Walls.

Speaker 9 (01:22:11):
We've got to help people get through a hard time,
so we can't have a country and policies that let
people fall through the.

Speaker 6 (01:22:20):
Cracks, feelings That video posted on YouTube. It's now seven
oh three. Trump lawyers have asked for the September eighteenth
sentencing of his Manhattan trial to be pushed back until
after the election, but that's been denied by that rapidly
biased judge in charge. Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy says,

(01:22:41):
don't be surprised at that Manhattan judge Wan Mreshan sentences
Trump to jail for politics.

Speaker 10 (01:22:49):
They'll be able to make an argument in the final
weeks of the campaign stretch run that the former president
is a multiply convicted sellon who's looking at a prison sentence.

Speaker 1 (01:22:58):
I think that's what they.

Speaker 6 (01:22:59):
Want to work McCarthy with ktrh's Clay Travis Buck section.
We know the Biden government is working with big tech
to censor opposition speech, as it did back in the
twenty twenty race. So do we expect to see this
continuing between now in November and maybe even beyond.

Speaker 11 (01:23:19):
Unfortunately, they've basically gotten the green light to do it
all again.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
The FBI was challenged directly on their manipulation of social
media platforms, and the Supreme Court punted on it, allowing
you to continue.

Speaker 11 (01:23:31):
Rick Manning with Americans for Limited Government says, at this point,
we have to assume there'll be more government interference.

Speaker 4 (01:23:37):
Are right?

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
They're working to manipulate the election process. They were given
full power to do so, both the Supreme courting Congress's
failure to act.

Speaker 11 (01:23:44):
Manning says, the best way to really stop this behavior
is by electing a president who will crack down on it.
Ethan Buchannan News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:23:53):
Meantime, illegal voting or at least illegal balloting and registering
to vote RASPUS and polling shows at fifty five percent
of American likely voters believe that illegal aliens in their
own cities have been registered.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
They know where these people are.

Speaker 12 (01:24:08):
They've given them phones, They've moved them around to the
states they want them in. All they have to do
is given social security numbers. With the social security number,
they can get a driver's license in most states, maybe
all states. And guess what, then they can register to
vote and they don't have to prove citizenship.

Speaker 6 (01:24:23):
Yep. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. There an illegal alien
from Peru wanted for twenty three murders in his own country,
now back in custody this morning in New York. Gianfranco
Torees Navarro crossed the border near Roma, Texas in May,
and he was released into our country went to New York.
Apparently the FEDS took two months to figure out his identity.

(01:24:46):
It is now seven oh six. New version of the
illegal uplift Terris money money giveaway program, passed by Harris
County Commissioner's Court yesterday with one no vote despite the
original version being strung down is illegal under our constitution
by the Texas Supreme Court. What's this new version? In drown?

Speaker 13 (01:25:08):
All we could tell is that there has been an
increased and administrative cost and the addition of some codes
on debit cards that wouldn't allow the lucky winners to
buy certain services.

Speaker 6 (01:25:23):
Oh services Texas Senator Paul Bettencourt. He says, other than that,
it's the same program, illegal program. We're going to be
joined by Precinct three Commissioner Tom Ramsey, as I said,
the only Republican on the court who voted no. He
will join Houston's Morning News in about half an hour,
seven fifty forty five minutes from now. George Sorows continues

(01:25:44):
funding the liberal agenda, the radical left agenda, by actually
not just funding but directing what they do the prosecutors
all across America.

Speaker 4 (01:25:56):
A study from the Media Research Center found he controls
them post elect.

Speaker 14 (01:26:00):
George Sorows's network even dictates who these offices will hire
into the junior ranks. George Sorows is trying to take
over the entire American judicial system.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Dan Schneider of the mr C says George's more radical son,
Alex is taking the reins. Many of the prosecutors even
signed pledges vowing to not enforce the law.

Speaker 14 (01:26:19):
That is illegal, unethical, and when they conspire to do
it like they've done here, it seems to me that's
a rico violation.

Speaker 4 (01:26:25):
He says this amounts to a prosecutorial veto and needs
to be stopped. Andre Perard, News Radio seven forty kt RH.

World Events, National Headlines, Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Parrett
and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
Now that Joe's no longer running for a second term,
it's fair game to report on Hunter Biden. So the
mainstream media is starting to report things we already knew
about Hunter Biden, like him asking for government official help
in dealing with the folks at Barisma in this case, uh,
the Italian ambassador. So the State Department got asked about

(01:27:20):
this yesterday. Huh, As you can imagine, they Here's what
was funny about that. He got asked the question, you
won't be able to you'll be able to hear it,
the answer, you won't be able to see the look
on the face of the spokesperson for the State Department,
but you could tell that he was reading off of
a note card. He knew he's going to get asked
about it, and they had their They had the response

(01:27:41):
all planned. His name was Vendet Patel. Here he is
responding to the question about Hunter Biden.

Speaker 33 (01:27:49):
Hunter Biden's legal team has confirmed that he reached out
to the US ambassador to Italy when his father, the
current president, was Vice president about potentially closing up lucrative
dy for Barisma. Do you have any information on that?
Can you confirm that what Hunter Bien's legal team is
saying that there was no meeting, nothing productive came from

(01:28:10):
that outreach.

Speaker 35 (01:28:11):
So look, I will the Department would defer to mister
Biden's representatives on any questions as it relates to his correspondence.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
I will.

Speaker 35 (01:28:21):
I will say that the documents that you're referring to
were released as part of an ongoing Freedom of Information
Act request, and as consistent with long standing Department policy,
we will be those documents.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
We made available to the public in the coming weeks.

Speaker 35 (01:28:39):
We do not have any additional perspective to offer on
the production of these documents, given that it is tied
up as part of ongoing litigation. But broadly, let me
just say, individuals from all over the world and from
varying sectors seek council advice, information from our ambassadors and

(01:29:03):
principal officers at our embassies and consulates around the world.
The Department takes every responsibility to evaluate those requests on
their merits, and we act appropriately hard to do.

Speaker 6 (01:29:16):
Spin on the fly. You understand why they don't want
to ask answer to reporters. How do I spin this?
That's what Kamala Harris isn't about to talk to anybody because.

Speaker 4 (01:29:29):
She can evidently word solid is a catching. It's it's
a disease. It's catching all across the current government in Watchington, DC.

Speaker 6 (01:29:37):
Convincing as you lie.

Speaker 4 (01:29:39):
There, you go, I'm suppose they haven't taken a class
in that seven eleven time for traffic and whether together, Oh,
what be happening this guy mine?

Speaker 5 (01:29:48):
We are looking at your north sam here this morning,
and we've cleared that problem on the eastbound side westbound
of course all day in Westville we still have that roadwork,
so we're smashed up that way. Uh, we're loosening to
six minutes of suckage that way plus Imperial Valley. We're
missing a left lane on the other side. This is
cramming up that road work, cramming up the ramp that

(01:30:08):
comes down from I forty five. All right, here's something
to watch out for. Hardy toll road southbound Parker. It
looks like they're about to clear that. I've got a stall.
Where was this? This was Golf Freeway inbound at Airport. No,
that's downtown forty five. Part of the Golf Freeway southbound
at Dallas Street. Watch out for that squeeze toll bridge
all packed up now southbound. That's a skunsit's extra ten

(01:30:30):
minutes going this way. And we have a south Loop
six ten oh Crosby Freeway. I'll get to that south
Loop six ten westbound at Colon. That's roadwork. We're squished
up that way and Crosby Freeway in bound. Since I'm
doing our hip hop station ninety three to seven the
beat Terry this morning, I'm learning all this new language
that we were the first to know about that road work.
Again right before you hit the Crosby exit. So see

(01:30:53):
that's a flex and we get more riz for that
twenty extra minutes that way. Oh, one more thing here,
I'm going to give the tip line number for those
of you out there. I would like the laneage on
that and the term the new hip hop turn understood
the assignment. It means you wore the right thing or
did the right thing. You know what it is. It's
a banana sticker seven one three two on two tips

Speaker 4 (01:31:16):
You're not gonna refer to Terry. A's your baby mama, right.

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
She's oh, no, no, no good, She's.

Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
Just the pooky s Just you know, don't know how
far you're willing to go to be hip From our
KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four hour Weather Center, Terry
is here, by the way, and I hate I hate to.
I probably shouldn't share this bad news from your website
at weather dot com. Okay, but your online meteorologists have
posted the long range forecast for the US through through

(01:31:43):
the end of the year, in particularly through October, and
it looks like it's going to be much warmer than
normal around here all the way through October.

Speaker 6 (01:31:50):
Okay, Well, you get to be the fear of bad
news on that one yep, but that keeps the hurricanes away.

Speaker 4 (01:31:55):
That's true.

Speaker 16 (01:31:56):
Yeah, if high pressure is responsible for the heat ray,
you're absolutely right, that'll help to keep.

Speaker 6 (01:32:02):
The hurricanes away.

Speaker 16 (01:32:04):
And you know me, I don't look too far out
usually because who knows am change? Well, I'm just more
interested in what's going to happen the next.

Speaker 6 (01:32:14):
Couple of days. I'll worry about.

Speaker 16 (01:32:16):
The you know, next month when we get there, but
hopefully it does change. There is a week front that
should be making its way into Southeast Texas next week.
Now it's not going to like you know, send us
looking for our jackets, but maybe a little less heat
and humidity and I'll take it. But for the time being,
it's hot and hubid through the weekend early next week,

(01:32:36):
mid upper ninety some places around one hundred slightly higher
if you see rain. Only a twenty percent chance that
somebody is going to get wet through the weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
It happened back in twenty twenty, it's been happening ever
since twenty twenty, and it's certainly going to happen in
this election too. We'll talk to Rick Manning, President of
Americans for Limited Government about that coming up next. First, though,
just do a little traffic and weather together as we
check in again with Skymike.

Speaker 5 (01:33:14):
Pitched from the Stretch West Loops southbound. I've got a
reported wreck right before it ten and this is also
messing up two ninety on the southbound, which tells me
it's likely to be the direct connector. We'll zoom it
at seven thirty and the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic Center.

From r KTRH top tax Defenders, twenty four hour weather

It's going to be part, allegedly of her economic agenda.
We'll find out more today. A woman is hospitalized after

Speaker 4 (01:34:41):
Seven twenty two now here on the Houston's Morning News
ricommandings with this President of Americans for Limited Government, we're
going to talk about election interference. It goes back a ways, obviously,
reck it's going on right now. We're going to talk
about how it's still going on. It's going on right now.
You've got the Hairs campaign, which is basically taking headlines
from news organizations in are you writing them and redirecting

(01:35:01):
them to stories they're even more faable for Canill Harris,
that's election interference.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Isn't it intelection interference that the Googles and the like
are allowing it to occur? It's certainly unethical, you know,
but Google, I'll just use Google as an example. For
the less two or three election cycles. Google has been
pretty aggressive at redirecting searches to make it so people

(01:35:26):
who are looking for positive information about conservative candidates really
have a harder time finding it. And you know, that's
a simple, simple thing that they do. It's through their
suggestions and the like. And we saw it most recently
where Google admitted that their algorithm deliberately did not suggest
when you put in assassination attempts, did not push them

(01:35:49):
to the one people were looking for, which was the
Donald Trump assassination attempt but rather shoved them down down
rabbit holes that they weren't interested in and a hope
of diverse people away from the subject that they were
actually interested in. So the social media companies have a
lot of ways of manipulating the elections, but the most

(01:36:10):
significant thing is when we see that the federal government
is involved in that manipulation. And that's the scary part.
And unfortunately to Congress in twenty eighteen pushing pass through
legislation that allows the Department Homeland Security to direct social
media companies communicate with them about disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation.

(01:36:36):
And the social media companies have used that to basically
monitor and censor political political speech that isn't government approved.

Speaker 6 (01:36:46):
And push forward government propaganda.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Correct, And that's why we saw.

Speaker 6 (01:36:53):
I'm seeing now, you know, all of a sudden, you're
not seeing it in mainstream media, but that whole nordstream
to pipe line explosion. You know, they blame it on Russia, Russia, Russia.
Turns out it was Ukrainian nationals who blew the thing up.
I mean, it's hard to find that kind of information
on the Internet.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
Well then that's absolutely true. It is things that get
buried down the page ten, page twenty, and as a result,
you get the fluff that people want you to see.
I use the example on global warming, and this is
not even the Internet, this is the La Times. They
announced it five years ago that they would not publish

(01:37:34):
any any op eds that did not conform to the
international global warming kind of dictat and as because it
was proved, the science was settled, and so consequently, if
you were looking into La Times and think that's a
legitimate place to get your news, well no it isn't,

(01:37:55):
because they have made a determination that you can't have
a conversation about whether or not you destroy should destroy
the electrical grid in search of some kind of net
zero that is unattainable and would be disastrous for this country. Well,
young peoplest, this is pervasive.

Speaker 4 (01:38:16):
Yeah, young people are certainly not getting their news from
the LA Times or the Houston Chronicle or the New
York Times or the Washington Post.

Speaker 6 (01:38:22):
They're getting it on the internet social media.

Speaker 4 (01:38:24):
Yeah, so that makes social media a very potentially dangerous place,
doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
Well, it's one of the rationality, the answer, sh It's
one of the rationalities for trying to dislodge TikTok from
Chinese control in order for it to exist in the
United States because survey of TikTok, the political stuff that's
being shoved through TikTok was overwhelmingly far left and was

(01:38:51):
designed is designed to manipulate and essentially put a set
of facts into people's minds that aren't factual, but that
they believe or true that they believe are true because
they've seen it multiple times through social media channels.

Speaker 5 (01:39:05):
How much?

Speaker 6 (01:39:08):
How much is a game changer? Is something like Elon
Musk and X and even true social Now.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
I think Elon Musk must change the game. It gave
hope that this system could be rained in. At least
there could be a place on the Internet where a
lot of where masses of people to gather, that there
can be an honest discussion in a fight, a battle
over ideas, which is what a democracy, what our country
is supposed to be about, as a battle over ideas.

(01:39:36):
True socialism is a great thing. It hasn't reached the numbers.
It's got huge numbers that follow it, that are on it,
but it hasn't reached the same numbers that an ex
or Twitter have where they have it's kind of ubiquitous
and it's too still too small.

Speaker 4 (01:39:54):
Yeah, but that's why they tried so hard to shut
that interview down.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
On next they whatever said, listen denil service. The denial
service attack on X was so massive that it had
to come from either from it had to come from
a either foreign government or or so over intelligence agencies.

(01:40:17):
There's absolutely the amount of data that was shoved in
to into X to block it to effects would break
the system was beyond comprehension enormous.

Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
Yeah, well, there's plenty people who would want to shut
that information up. Brick. We got to run, but thank
you so much for your time. That's President of Americans
for Limited Government, Brick Manning. It's seven twenty seven. Time
to take a look at your money. Forty Dunho's here.

Seven thirty one at time, Houston's Bonning News. I'm Jimmy

perception of Kamala Harris changed? In coming up at seven
thirty eight, it's the first ever state wide flood plan.

we're going to check out that morning vibe. Here's sky Mike.

hits the Katie Freeways. Not a wreck, it's a stalled

we had a problem. So that's a flex Jimmy. We're

the Weather Channel will do that in eight minutes. Right now,
it is eighty one at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty KTRH. It's time now for the news.
Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 6 (01:42:28):
Good morning. Everyone is now seven thirty two on news
radio seven forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 8 (01:42:34):
When she gets in, she's in now, and she's still saying,
if you elect me, I'll do this, I'll do Here's
my one question.

Speaker 6 (01:42:41):
It's the easiest question.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Why didn't she do it?

Speaker 6 (01:42:43):
That's see all I ask Donald Trump there actually answering
questions from the media at a news conference in New Jersey,
his second presser in just a week. Meantime, Kamala Harris
has yet to do a single one or even a
solo one on one interview, Trump blaming her for what
she's done to this country, as well as saying, hey, look,

(01:43:04):
she doesn't stop the personal attacks against him, so why
should he's not.

Speaker 8 (01:43:09):
I'm very angry at her that she'd weaponized the justice
system against me and other people. I think I'm entitled
to personal attacks. I don't have a lot of respect
for her.

Speaker 6 (01:43:18):
Trump's will be back on his campaign trail tomorrow in Pennsylvania,
his rally three pm our time. Harris campaigned in Maryland
yesterday along with President Joe Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:43:31):
Camala I heard today to make a major in.

Speaker 6 (01:43:33):
AsTMa Kamala mispronouncing her name. First campaign event with Harris
since being forced from the race last month. Harris unveils
what she says will be her new economic plan today
in North Carolina. Mainstream media where they really cast a
fake glow over Harris, who just a couple of months
ago was the most unpopular vice president in our history.

Speaker 21 (01:43:57):
The press has given her a free ride. Body knows
that it's been a few weeks without her answering questions.
She went weeks without even having to answer questions. They
gave her a bit of a honeymoon.

Speaker 6 (01:44:08):
Trump campaign co chair Chris las Veda. He told Fox
News that Brian Brian killmade that despite the gas lighting,
Americans can see that harris policies don't work. We talk
about election day November five, but some states will actually
begin voting in September.

Speaker 19 (01:44:29):
The first absentee ballots go out September sixth in North Carolina,
with five other states starting in person early voting before
the end of September. Former Texas gopchair Steve Minister he says,
like it or not, this is the new reality for elections.

Speaker 22 (01:44:42):
The first ballast go out in September, and now we
have a good number of states that have early voting
anywhere from about a month ahead of time to six
weeks ahead of time. So really the election is not
in November. The election starts in September and ends in November.

Speaker 19 (01:44:58):
He adds Republicans need to embrace early voting or risk
losing the election. Early voting in Texas begins October nineteenth.
Cory Eelson New's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:45:07):
I do need to correct that it actually begins Monday,
October twenty. First, that was a little bit of a
typo there. Texas early voting in person begins Monday, October twenty. First,
the Democrats impeached President Trump for even raising the question.
Now we know while he was right, Hunter Biden did
reach out to the Obama Biden administration Clinton State Department

(01:45:30):
for help with Beisma. He was acting as a foreign
agent and never registered a Foyer request dating back to
twenty twenty one proves it. It was finally released just now.
Biden Harris. Department of Justice, though, has managed to deny
justice that long.

Speaker 23 (01:45:49):
How is the Justice Department not now investigating Hunter Biden
for being an unregistered foreign agent?

Speaker 6 (01:45:56):
Yeah, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John who he was
on Fox it's seven thirty six. Now. Government numbers claim
that our inflation rate is easy. Well, maybe it is,
but it's still up there on top of everything we've
had over the last four years. But Heritage Foundation economist
Steve Moore says main street Americans they aren't getting any

(01:46:18):
relief from all these government numbers.

Speaker 24 (01:46:21):
Going to McDonald's, if you look at the price of
buying meat and eggs.

Speaker 1 (01:46:26):
At the grocery store.

Speaker 24 (01:46:27):
If you look at people's rent and mortgages, those are
up in some cases by twenty five and thirty percent.

Speaker 29 (01:46:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:46:33):
Recent op ed in USA Today claims, quote, Americans should
be feeling pretty good about their finances and the economy. Well,
not the way they're practicing it. Most many now feel
that we are already in a recession. Economists, well, how
do they predict They're turning to lipstick sales to determine
if or when.

Speaker 25 (01:46:54):
The reports to coming out that we are having a
soft landing, and I don't think any of us really know.

Speaker 6 (01:47:00):
So now they're heading not to be lovely.

Speaker 25 (01:47:02):
Little eight quirky indicators of whether we're going to be
in a recession.

Speaker 6 (01:47:06):
Yeah, when LIP six sales go up, it means you're
preparing for a recession. And the other one is that
when underwear sales for men go down, that means they're
preparing for a recession. They buy the clothes. Jimmy tells
us that the audience doesn't that other people don't see

(01:47:29):
underwear LIP six sales go up though, prepping for the downturn.
Seven thirty seven is our time hurricane or Nesto. It

Speaker 4 (01:48:23):
Never sounded so good. The state now has a statewide
flood plan, but don't get too excited about it. And
I mean it's good. The state should be Texas should
have a state wide flood plan. Shouldn't just be a
local thing. I mean it floods enough and enough places
where we really need to have something like this. Here's
the problem. However, it talks in the plant about the

(01:48:47):
ike dike, which has been nothing but talk pretty much
since the whole idea came about. They have of the
I guess there's something like four thousand, six hundred and
nine rec mandations in the state flood plan. More than
three thousand of them are to fund research. Don't you

(01:49:10):
think we have enough experience with flooding that we should
be at the point where we should be funding flood mitigation,
not research. Who's going to get rich off of this
and who's going to get helped by this.

Speaker 6 (01:49:23):
Yeah, and a lot of it is an appeal to
federal money because it's the Army Corps of Engineers, so
as the federal government. So it's just another play. One
day it's COVID, the next day it's flood planning. I
mean really, I mean it's not that the need doesn't exist.
Is how do you go about funding it when you
have local governments who say, well, we don't have any
money for it, exactly, and you give them the money

(01:49:45):
and they use it for other things.

Speaker 4 (01:49:47):
That's a familiar problem, that's for sure. The other problem,
evidently the FEDS have another problem with this, with this
whole thing. Nowhere shaer in any of these documents is
the word climate change used. How can you leave a
climate change? Why do you think it floods so much
in Texas? It's climate change?

Speaker 2 (01:50:11):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:50:12):
Not really, So I hate to be a pessimist, but
this doesn't sound like this is going to be doing this.
Soul a heck of a lot of good seven forty
time for traffic and weather together, we're checking out the
drive again.

Speaker 6 (01:50:22):
I should have mentioned the EPA too, Yeah, there's them.

Speaker 4 (01:50:25):
What have you discovered over there? Sky mine?

Speaker 14 (01:50:27):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:50:27):
It's the west Loop southbound. If you look at those
of you playing the home game, look at camera six
to one nine, that would be the west Loop six
to ten before the Katie Freeway southbound, right before the ramp.
It is a disabled metro bus. See I can't make
fun of that. On ninety three seven to beat our
sister station. I don't think they'd be amused. But this
is backups now from two ninety. Some of you aren't

(01:50:48):
amused here. We're backed up on two ninety from mans
one two because this is all connected like your knee bone. Also,
we got to sitch on the toll bridge southbound. That's
a bad thing, Terry. This is pasted up from iten.
We lose about twelve minutes trying to reach to twenty five.
The Golf Freeway is nearly lit except for you got
that backup of Griggs and again after you have h

(01:51:10):
northbound about three or four minutes. Not bad for the golf,
not bad for the Kadie Advisors. You're flipping right around
Mason Road and again at Eldridge Parkway you're tripping inbound.
You lose about six minutes this way. West Park Tollway
breaks at Eldridge Parkway also and the North Freeway a
little slow in between I forty five Tedwell and Parker southbound.

(01:51:30):
We have come to a scrint on the North SAM.
That means we're just stopping North Sam westbound at Aldean Westfield. Oh,
I got some tip line seven one three two t ips.

Speaker 27 (01:51:41):
Hey, I just wanted to let you guys know there's
a dishwasher on the road headed into town on the
East Tex Freeway at Collinsworth housing.

Speaker 12 (01:51:52):
A lot of habit like.

Speaker 5 (01:51:53):
A rummage sale on our freeways East Tex southbound. I
do see that back up now after the loop down. Hey,
don't forget to give me your name and represent your
hood when you call the timeline sky at the tip
line Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffics.

Speaker 4 (01:52:05):
Instead of saying nearly lit, you you say dimly lit.

Speaker 29 (01:52:08):
HU.

Speaker 4 (01:52:09):
Would that be better or not? I'm not sure it
From r G TRH Generator Supercenter, twenty four hour Whether Center,
Terry Smith is here. The sky is lit. Yeah, it's
gonna be a nice day to day if you don't
mind all the heat and humidity.

Speaker 16 (01:52:23):
Yeah, I mean, you know, the heat and humidity have
been around for a while now, so a lot of
us are kind of used to it. But if you
are planning on getting outside for extended periods of time,
make sure you're taking good care of yourself because there's
no cooling that's going to happen worth talking about.

Speaker 6 (01:52:40):
Through early next week.

Speaker 16 (01:52:41):
Mid to upper nineties, a lot of places will be
close to one hundred and just over and then, of
course you factor in the humidity, and we're seeing heat
and disease at least one oh five to one ten,
possibly even hotter by the end of the weekend. So
heat advisories right now, they'll likely continue, perhaps it's an
excessive heat warning by the end of the weekend. There's

(01:53:02):
only a twenty percent chance that you might get what
today and tomorrow. I don't think we'll see any rain
Sunday or Monday. Maybe a little bit of rain Tuesday.

Speaker 6 (01:53:10):
So no big change. Summer likes it.

Speaker 4 (01:53:13):
Here, apparently DEBITCHA Right now is eighty one. You're at

What you need to know for the day ahead. This
is Houston's morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. So the Texas Supreme Court has already told
Harris County that uplift Harris is illegal, so why are
they pushing a two point old version. We'll talk to
Tom Ramsey, Harris County Precinct three commissioner, about that. He

(01:53:42):
was the loan vote against this plan. That's next. First,
we've got traffic and weather together, starting with you. Yes,
let's fast, all right.

Speaker 5 (01:53:49):
First of all, we've got Westloop six pens southbound at Itim.
It's a stalled metro bus wo southbound. It's backing you
up from two ninety. I've got North Freeway that's erect
to f lanes inbound Alding Bender backup from Airtech, and
that fridge is still sitting on the East Tex southbound
at Collingsworth. Blake from mc canny picked that up for me.

In the know all the information in real time and
again the now right now, News Radio seven forty kg RH.

Speaker 4 (01:55:16):
Harris County Precinct three Commissioner Tom Ramsey joins us he
voted against Uplift Harris version two point oh. If Version
one point oh was illegal, isn't version two point oh
going to be illegal as well?

Speaker 2 (01:55:29):
Tom?

Speaker 32 (01:55:31):
It's just as illegal and just as bad. These these
kinds of programs are an example of the problem we
have in Harris County. We don't have a revenue problem,
we've got a spending problem. And this just is the
vast illustration of really bad policy. I can thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:55:51):
So they got it's against the state constitution and they
got knocked down by the Texas Supreme Court. So now
they've made some changes among them so dictating how the
money can be. They were just going to give people
money and they could spend it on whatever they wanted
to dog raising or anything else. And so they've changed
it to.

Speaker 32 (01:56:09):
What they give them debic cards, and there's some categories
that you spend within the debit cards, but it's still
pretty loosey goosey. And they'll also hire someone paying five
hundred thousand dollars just to administer the program. Clearly it's
not legal. Clearly it's bad policy. Spending twenty million dollars

(01:56:33):
on giveaway with no accountability. Why don't you go find
the most underserved neighborhood in Harris County, spend twenty million
dollars on improving it and that will be an investment
for fifty years. It'll make a big difference. Rather than
an eighteen month program where people will just go spend
money on everything. But what they need to spend money out?

Speaker 4 (01:56:56):
I guess you can buy more votes this way, right,
is that they're thinking.

Speaker 32 (01:57:00):
Oh, demmy, you're right right on target. Do you know
how many signatures find people signed up for this? Eighty
thousand people find they have names, addresses, emails. You can't
kind of get a sense of where this is added.

Speaker 6 (01:57:17):
Yeah, it just actually bungles your mind. But if you
can get them to gin them up to turn out
to vote in order to keep this wonderful Commissioner's Court
of which you are the only Republican, I feel so
sorry for you that you have to be part of
this clown show.

Speaker 32 (01:57:33):
Well, I am pleased. I've been on court for this
is my fourth budget to vote on, and I participate
in reducing taxes seven hundred and fifty million because they
were taken that seven hundred and fifty million and spend
it on Lord knows what.

Speaker 4 (01:57:49):
That's a fact. That is a fact, sir. All right,
So obviously this is pasted already. You were the loan
vote against it. What is the next step. I'm sure
that there's gonna be another lawsuit. Who's going to be
finding out.

Speaker 32 (01:58:02):
We have an amazing, outstanding Attorney general, and I am
pretty sure he's paying attention, and I'm pretty sure this
will end the way the others did. And say, that's
the other sad thing. We're having to pay legal fees,
spending county money, paying legal fees to do something illegal,

(01:58:26):
when we need to be spending that money on stuff
that matters, like roads and bridges and other things.

Speaker 4 (01:58:31):
Yeah, that's right. But the beauty of this is is
the when when Republicans turn this down at the state level,
guess who the Democrats in the City of Houston, Harris
Coony are going to blame for not having this program
right so they can use it. They can use it
as propaganda and get a whole lot of in the meantime,
get a whole lot of potential voters. Tom always a.

Speaker 32 (01:58:49):
Pleasure, sir, Yeah, absolutely, Thank you' all.

Speaker 4 (01:58:52):
