Speaker 3 (00:09):
Now the latest news, weather and trap, it's more what
matters to you from the John Morris Services studios.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well, good morning, five am is our time. It's Houston's
Morning News. I'm Jimmy Barrett. Among our top stories as
we get started this morning, Trump and Putin talk, did
they make any progress towards a peace deal, how tariffs
could impact your drinking habits? And coming up at five
to eight, they're calling it tesla terrorism. Details in the minutes.
Say hey, you're in Houston's Morning News. First, we're checking

(00:38):
out that Morning Drive for the first time any tesla's
burning out there?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Son, I don't think so. I'm just looking on that
North Freeway. I smelled a little smoke, but I think
that's just a little garbage fire. It's forty five north
southbound at the Beltway. Somebody's in the ramp to just
sitting there stall. They're pointing at things. Everybody's okay here
South Flute. I needed to get to that one first. Really,
South Flute beastbound is completely shut down at Almeter Road

(01:01):
right after the old Astro World Bridge, and nothing good's
happening there. That's all lanes and the frontage. There is
a mess. You don't want to do any part of that.
Let's do the Southwest Freeway. If you're a commoner, if
you're a big shot, list to the south sam do that,
get around, do not get stuck on that south Look,
that's eastbound going from NRG over toward the ship Channel.

Terry Smith at the Weather Channel in eight minutes to
get you the complete forecast right now sixty nine at
your official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty k TRH.
It's time now for the news. Here's Eric Sharp. Good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
President Trump and Russian President Putin have agreed to a
ceasefire deal on Ukrainian infrastructure. Trump speaking with Fox Sun,
the President says that the overall the deal is close
to the finish line.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
Russia has the advantage, as you know, and we want
to get it over with.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Look, we're doing this. There are no Americans involved.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
There could be end up in World War three over.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
This, which is so ridiculous, but you know, strange things happen,
and I think we had a great quote, lasted almost
two hours, talked about a lot of things and toward
getting it to peace, and we talked about other things.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Also.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
So far, Ukraine hasn't commented, although last week it agreed
to a thirty day unconditional ceasefire with US negotiators. The
Pentagon preparing to eliminate between fifty and sixty thousand civilian
jobs over the next few months. On Tuesday, a senior
defense officials say that the job cuts will hopefully happen
be a voluntary resignation and not by replacing workers who leave.

(02:41):
The Biden autopin scandal now getting more attention, and it
might be a bigger deal than first thoughts.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
It allows for mass virtual signatures, which Boden used on
virtually all his actions, including the eleventh hour pardons.

Speaker 8 (02:54):
Because these can be reversed, this has a long term
effect on a lot of different legal.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Issues here in the United States.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
Jim Davis of The American Thinker says that includes judges
appointed by Biden and Trump could demand those judges resign.

Speaker 8 (03:07):
If they refuse to resign, then he can take it
to the House and then the Senate and have them removed.
But he's got to have conclusive evidence that their nominations
were signed with an auto pen.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
He says this also allows Trump to open up prosecution
on those that Biden pardoned. Monree Perard News Radio seven
forty kt RH.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Vice President JD.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
Van speaking at the third American DYNASM Summit in DC Tuesday,
where he says that the US remains a leader in
innovation on the global stage, but emphasizes China has been
gaining ground rapidly through their use of AI.

Speaker 9 (03:39):
Does this sound like a regime I'm speaking of China
that will pass up on the opportunity to use AI
or any other technology to advance their own interests and
further undermine the interests of their rivals. I think the
answer is obvious, and that's why America we've got to
be tech forward.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Van's adding the technological innovation in the US will help
protect national secuity. President Trump mentioned last week that there
could end up being a two hundred percent tariff on
US imports of alcoholic beverages and that happens. That's about
how much you can expect imported liquors to cost two
hundred percent more. SIMS Hospitality Group President Derek Simms says

(04:17):
there could be some sticker shock for people, and if.

Speaker 10 (04:20):
They do go through, they're expecting some of the French
wines that go up two percent.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
But of course this will make for better sales of
American brands, and sim says alcohol tariffs could be a
good thing if it don't last too long. Despite lowering
rates under the Biden administration, Fetchedderome Powell still has not
lowered interest rates under President Trump, something that hasn't gone unnoticed.

Speaker 11 (04:44):
As of right now, it looks like Trump still has
bigger priorities than replacing Powell.

Speaker 12 (04:48):
He's probably going to be there through his tenure in
twenty twenty six. I haven't seen anything that says different.
Peace focus as far as Trump goes, has shifted.

Speaker 11 (04:57):
Financial planner Richard Rosso says that doesn't mean Powell is
completely off the hook forever, though.

Speaker 12 (05:01):
I expect Trump is going to get one or two
rate cuts, but if he doesn't get them, I totally
expect Trump to turn around and say I'm going to.

Speaker 13 (05:09):
Look to replace him.

Speaker 11 (05:10):
Russo says that right now, Trump's focus is on longer
term yields, which is giving Powell some wiggle room. Ethan
Buchanan News Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
A new survey ranks West Virginia as the best state
to stretch your retirement savings, with one point five million
dollars lasting fifty four years. A financial expert Bill Dundy
says Texas is still a pretty great deal for retirees.

Speaker 14 (05:31):
Don't feel like you have to move to West Virginia
just because a study says the money will last four
or five years longer.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
The survey says in Texas, your money should last forty
six years. Should be long enough to find out what
they're actually going to do with the astrodome. K t

Texas lawmakers looking to slap warning labels on social media, not.

(07:09):
on Sports Talk seven ninety, I've alek sharp on Houston's
News Weather in traffic station News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 17 (07:17):
What happened, why it happened, the information you need to
start the day. Now back to Houston's morning news. Yeah,
who sets cars on fire?

Speaker 18 (07:29):
Godess man.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
When I was young, the only people who set cars
on fire were rioters, generally having to do with that
winning a world series or national championship or something like that.
And I never quite understood the phenomenon of setting something
on fire to celebrate. This was not a celebration fire.
This happened in Las Vegas. It is an act of

(07:52):
terrorism against Tesla, and I think against Elon Musk, because
that's the obvious reason why these Tesla's were targeted. Some
person dressed in black shot. Yes, that's right. First, first,
the Teslas were shot, because, after all, you got to
kill the Tesla and make sure it's dead, right, So

(08:15):
they shot the Tesla's and then set them on fire
at a Tesla repair center in Las Vegas, in what
is being called a targeted attack and a quote unquote
possible act of domestic terrorism possible? Is there any down
in your mind that it's an act of terrorism. Police

(08:38):
departments across the United States are reporting attacks on teslas.
For those who have a Tesla, are you getting to
the point where you're almost afraid to drive it? Or
are you defiantly driving it at this point knowing that
there are whack jobs out there. They're crazy people out
there who think it's perfectly appropriate, because Elon, he is

(09:01):
trying to cut government waste and spending that and he's
this is not a democracy, he was not elected. You've
heard all that bes right, that somehow this is a
perfectly appropriate thing to do to shoot and set fire
to Tesla's the only person you're hurting by doing that
is the owner of the tesla, Elon Musk. Already the

(09:25):
tesla already got sold, so you're not hurting Elon Musk.
I understand you're trying to send a message, but I
think the only message you're really sending is that you're
a crazy pyromaniac. Five ten. Time for traffic and weather
together as we check out the drives with Skymine.

Speaker 4 (09:40):

Speaker 2 (14:16):
By twenty two our time here In houston's morning. News
Eli musk cannot be. Stopped and even though there's a
lot of lawmakers who would like to stop him right,
now you know how nervous they are In WASHINGTON'S dc
over doge and in a bit of an, EMBARRASSMENT i
think for FOR nasa to a certain, extent and for
The biden administration certainly That Eli musk had, to you,

(14:37):
know SEND SpaceX up there to rescue the, astronauts which
they did. Flawlessly. Yesterday he sat down With Sean hannity
last night and gave an, interview and he starts by
talking about bringing those astronauts.

Speaker 21 (14:48):
Home, Well i'm actually usually a little nervous about these
returns because there are some risk that something go. Wrong
but thanks to the excellent work of THE SpaceX team
working WITH nasa to, say the asronauts are now safely.
Home and so congratulations to THE SpaceX NaSTA teams on excellent,
work and a huge note of appreciation To President trump

(15:12):
for prioritizing and explanting their.

Speaker 22 (15:14):
Return BUT i just want to clarify on the issue
of whether or not you had offered to send this
rocket to space to rescue these astronauts sooner To Joe
biden And Kamala. HARRIS i heard somebody earlier today say in,
fact that didn't, happen WHEN i believe it.

Speaker 21 (15:31):
Did, no we definitely offered to return the astronauts. Earlier
there's no question about. That the astronauts were only supposed
to be there for eight, days and they've been there
for almost ten, months so obviously that doesn't make any.
SENSE SpaceX could have brought the astionals back after a

(15:53):
few months at, most and we made that offer to
The biden. Administration it was rejected for political, reasons and
that's just a.

Speaker 22 (16:02):

A Deranged it's there's some kind of mental illness thing
going on, here because this doesn't make any.

Speaker 2 (17:40):

It there's some sort of a mental illness thing going on.

iHeartRadio app it's all, your, news music, sports podcasts and.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Talk free never sounded, so good well, you well it
turns Out When joe biden signed on the, dotted line
he did it with an. Auto. Pen Speaker mike johnson
thinks that's, a problem especially when it comes to. Partnering
people there's a story About an american thinker written by our,
Next Guest. Jim davis he joins us now autopen for

(53:40):
those who ever never used an. Auto pen start, With,
that jim? What what what would make an auto pen
Signature By joe biden? Potentially, problematic.

Speaker 8 (53:51):
Well the fact that he's. Mentally incompetent he's been, MENTALLY
incompetent i think since twenty fifteen when his. Son, died jill,
his wife has Admitted That joe biden experienced an event at,
that time and those of us who were watching closely
noticed that he wasn't making any public appearances that required

(54:14):
more than five seconds. Of talking he wasn't, getting speeches
he wasn't, getting interviews and, you know AT first i
thought he was, just grieving, You KNOW and i can relate,
to that, you know but then you know, his present,
you know his vice presidency, was over and he withdrew into,
private life and, You know hillary was, a nominee so

(54:37):
it kind of got swept under the rug for. A
while but then came to twenty twenty campaign and he
was campaigning from his basement and those of us who
were watching closely could notice that he. Was impaired but
of Course The democratic Party deep state and It's propaganda
burero's formerly known as, news media just pretended that he

(55:01):
was as sharp as he, Ever was and as Recently
as february twenty, twenty Four Chose Carborough morning joe on
AND s nbc was saying he's as sharp as he,
ever was and So Was chris Coons. Of, maryland yeah
the Representative. In congress but then Came the june debate
With with trump and everybody could see that he.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Was gone he was a.

Speaker 8 (55:23):
Hustle man let me, so that combined with the, auto,
pen yeah raises a lot.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Of questions let me let me. Ask, you yeah let
me ask you this from a from a from a,
legal standpoint as far as the auto, Pen goes i've
never used, an autopen but it would it seems to
me be fairly easy for somebody to Sign As, joe
biden Who Wasn't. Joe biden if you're using an, auto
pen does that put some of these signatures into questions
whether or not he actually ever saw what he signed

(55:50):
or signed it knowing it then you.

Speaker 8 (55:52):
Signed it there have there have been presidents strading Back,
to truman who have used, the autopen but they've all been.
Mentally competent trump used. An roopen obama used an r
pen extensively to sign, certain documents especially when he was out.
Of town but when you have a competent president, who,
SAYS yes, I signed i've, Read THIS yes i know what,

(56:12):
it's about and please to fix my signature chief, of staff.
That's legal When it's treasury, secretary, Says yes i've REVIEWED
or i have received reports that these one point Nine
Million social SECURITY checkers sip the ins are all eligible
and they're getting the. Right amounts please to fix my
signature to all one point nine, million checks that's. Fine

(56:35):
too but when you have an incompetent president who really
is not, all there and he hasn't been all there for.
Ten years for those of us who have been, watching
closely and he's been getting worse. And worse certainly by
the last few months of, his presidency he was.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Gone Yeah.

Speaker 8 (56:58):
By june twenty wo he was.

Speaker 2 (57:00):

to be very difficult. To Do, jim davis thank you for, your.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
On the. Ten all right so we had the RELEASE of,
these jfk. Documents yes saying turns out there was quite
a bit of information in there that we hadn't, really
heard before at least had not. Officially heard Before Presidential
historian james rosenald went through some. Of that information here's
what he had to. Say, About, it.

Speaker 40 (01:13:19):
Well austin we learned a LOT, about the cia that
most of THESE documents are cia type documents from their
plan to Try. To Assassinate castro operation.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Mongoose is what.

Speaker 40 (01:13:33):
It was called lots of detail on that involving mafia figures.
To help them it's really it's an Incredible Story to
Jack ruby and oswald being seen in a nightclub ACCORDING
to a cia memo weeks, before the assassination to all
sorts of discredit on the single bullet theory that the,

(01:13:56):
ballistics people, thought you know that this, just didn't happen
and back when the warm report came OUT to the
cia Operation Out of mexico city and all the intelligence
they Were.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Gathering on oswald so it is a.

Speaker 40 (01:14:13):
Truckload of information it's going to take it's going to
take weeks to analyze their hunder page. Depositions in it
it truly is a real trove of information that begins
to paint a much stronger PICTURE that the cia knew
kind of what was coming and may have been involved
in the Group out of miami that Was the anti

(01:14:35):
castro groups that may have Been.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
Setting up oswalt so a. Ton of stuff does this change?
THE official narrative i.

Speaker 40 (01:14:43):
THINK it, WILL i mean i think what. We're Gonna
end as, i've said before this is like a, big
jigsaw puzzle and we have a lot of. Pieces in
place what we didn't know were some of the identities
of some, of these PEOPLE and the cia documents everybody's got,
A code name so that's going to take a long
while for. People TO unravel but i think it's going

(01:15:04):
to show that they were very active with the group
that Was entangled With Oswald in new orleans in the
summer of, nineteen sixty three and the evidence is starting
to look more and more like they Were setting up
oswald and That the anti castro group putre the people
who might have. Pulled THE triggers so i think there's
a lot here, to work with a. Lot to analyze and,

(01:15:27):
as you Know Because of paul landis's revelation that he
found the bullet in the limousine THAT you and i
have talked, about so much that tends to prove there,
was an ambush that there. Were multiple shooters this will
then start to give us a better idea of who might.

Hey don't don't spend that dose. Check, just yet okay
your dose check is not. In the mail it's not
even close being, in the mail and it might not
be five, thousand, dollars, Really yeah right so the mastermind
behind the proposal To issue a doge Dividend, Check To.
Americans james fishback you may recall we played some audio

(01:24:13):
from him a number. Of weeks ago he is now
speaking out, acknowledging that well you know that FIVE thousand
dollars i, was telling about that's not guaranteed and it
could fluctuate depending upon how much money is Actually. Saved,
by doge evidently the five thousand dollars came from The,

(01:24:34):
idea that doze over the next year could come up
with two trillion dollars, worth of savings which they may
or may not be. Able, to do SO let's say i.
Guess they did they actually did some math on this
one to try to figure it out as far as
how much money they, should give back and the math goes,

(01:24:57):
something like, this, they're about well, first of all let's
start with the two trillion that we were. Additionally working
from they what they decided they wanted to do was
to give a back twenty percent, of the money twenty
percent of the savings back. To the taxpayers twenty percent
of two trillion is. Four hundred billion there are roughly
eighty million Taxpaying, Households in america so if you take

(01:25:21):
four hundred billion dollars in divided, by eighty million to
end up with a check of about five thousand dollars
to each. Tax paying household that's what how they came
up with the. Five thousand dollars so if they only
save let's say a trillion dollars, half of that then
you'd end up with a check for twenty five hundred
dollars and you can kind of go, down FROM there

(01:25:43):
right i think, AT this point i think whether it's
twenty five hundred dollars or five thousand dollars or eight hundred.
Dollars or whatever it is just the general idea that
some of your misspent taxpayer dollars are coming back to
you is NOVEL enough that i think of people will
appreciate generally whatever it is that they get seven ten

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
All right let's. Talk about money let's talk, about interest
rates which are likely to. Stay the same i'm guessing
that's Probably what the, fed WILL announce so i don't
think anybody would be. Surprised by that they'll all be
paying attention to what, kind of language WHAT kind of fed,
speak they use in order to talk about what they
might do in the not. Too distant Future richard rosso
joins a. CERTIFIED financial Planner i know trump is lobbied

(01:31:44):
very hard for. Lower interest rates not likely, to happen, today, Is, It.

Speaker 8 (01:31:49):
No jimmy.

Speaker 33 (01:31:50):
And it's not we're not really looking for any kind
of change to.

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
Interest rates today but keep.

Speaker 33 (01:31:55):
This in mind if You listen to scott desan't you
hear that they are really looking at the intermediate and
long term end of, the. Yield curve right they want
those rates, to come down and they have rights because
that might affect mortgage rates. And other things so there's
not as much focus on the short end of the
curve as there is, on the intermediate longer end. Of

(01:32:16):
the curve and you have NOTICED also that, i Think
Anyway because president, trump's very vocal he hasn't really Said.
Anything about powell he hasn't really. Talked about it he
doesn't bring. Him up now if the economy, starts SLOWING
down then i think that he Will be in trump's
crosshairs and there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
Will be discussion this is.

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
The Whole debate.

Speaker 33 (01:32:40):
Will powell last through his tenure That ends in may of.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
Twenty, Twenty six yeah and from, A practical Standboyt let's
say trump would like to. Fire the guy can he?
Fire the, Guy, Not, really kenny no.

Speaker 33 (01:32:55):
NOT really no i mean, he could, TRY but again
i don't know if he really wants to upset the apple,
cart with that because it's just coming so close to
THE end that i don't really know who he has
in mind. For fed chair so keep, in mind again
you're you're in this economic stalemate process here where we
do have still, have economic growth, inflation is subsiding and

(01:33:18):
and wage growth, has has steadied it's increased, a little
bit but you're in this sort of like this this
this dispurgatory where rates can't. Really do anything we need
to see the Further Effect of president trump's policies on
the economy before the. Short end goes so you're gonna
hear probably a lot Of that, from powell today that

(01:33:40):
there's uncertainty with teriffs and with relations, with other countries
and we we need to see where that's. Going to
go now we'll say that there is summary of the summary.
Of economic projections they're looking at say two twenty five
base that great, cuts this year and so when you start,

(01:34:01):
looking at expectations there are expectations.

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
For later in the year two.

Speaker 33 (01:34:04):
TO three cuts i think if things really start to
slow down based. On the, policies, and also frankly the
economy started slowing. Down, last quarter okay it started the
fourth quarter, when the stimulus when we started to follow
the stimus really start, to, Dry up right so you're
moving from this government driven economy to. The private sector
that's something that's gott. Beston calls reprivatization that is not

(01:34:27):
going to be, an easy process right because free money
is always happy, money for everybody and the market doesn't
care about, red and blue it. Cares about green so
with less money, in the system that's the issue we're.
Going to have so we're still looking at rate cuts
for this year depending on. How things go it's just
not going to be as it's just not going to,
be as simple and it's going to take a lot
longer than, people.

Seven forty ktrh.

Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
Seven thirty eight is our Time here on. HOUSTON'S Morning
news i our question of the day has to do,
with the hype which is all we do anymore in certain,
mainstream media circles the, hype over measles Especially. Here in
texas ALL the local tv stations are running features. On
this one and, you, know, are oh oh we have

(01:43:10):
our first confirmed case of The, measles in houston which
has a population of over six billion People in the
houston metro one out of. SIX million, people, i thought
well let's examine this a. Little bit further i'll get
the stats to here. In A second but i offered
up a question to day and to answer the, question
to day are you concerned? About the measles are you worried?

(01:43:32):
About the measles what would you do if you knew somebody?
Had THE measles and i was just looking to get
some reactions on the iHeartRadio APP. K t rh please
put us on your preset because that makes.

Speaker 39 (01:43:43):
Us.

Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
Really quick boom you hit the button and it's right
there whenever, you want it and you can listen, in
digital quality and you can talk back to us by
hitting the. Talk back Button this Is Bill. From spring
branch easels is not to. Be worried. About be all
you used to get. It as kids it was. Like,
chicken pox. Yeah PRETTY much, but, i, thought well, let's

(01:44:05):
you know let's see if there's any reason to be
legitimately freaking out. Over the measles and, by the way
if you have been vaccinated, against the measles. It doesn't
matter you're not going to. Get the measles. You're just
not most of us were. Vaccinated as children hopefully you,
have BEEN vaccinated and i would urge you to be

(01:44:27):
vaccinated for the mumps and the measles and chicken pox
and that kind of stuff. Because it's pain you don't
want to have to. Deal with that but as far as, it,
being dangerous well let's put. It this way we have
not had a single death associated with any of the
two hundred and some odd measle Cases here in texas
three hundred. AND twenty nine i think, nationwide so Far,

(01:44:50):
Primarily In, Texas, new mexico oklahoma you know this area,
of the country. Nobody HAS died, and, i thought well
maybe there was a time when people maybe were, afraid
of this because there was, a time when really when
a lot. Of PEOPLE died so i. Looked it up
at the, height of, measles before vaccinations when it was
more of a, routine childhood disease there were four to

(01:45:11):
five hundred deaths per Year In the united states that
were due to complications, fund the measles four to five
hundred out of. The entire country every year, in this
country about forty seven thousand people die from the. Flu
forty seventh are we panicked? About the flu are we

(01:45:32):
doing new stories? About the? Flu seven forty time for traffic? And,
whether together terry. YOU'RE a, Scientist i mean i've already.

Speaker 4 (01:45:39):
HAD the measles i can't, get, IT again, right i
mean if you've had the measles and the mumps in,
the chicken pox you can't get.
