the House of Representatives.

Speaker 10 (03:51):
Really, so, are Republicans actually going to lose the House
in a blowout?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Probably not.

Speaker 11 (03:57):
Not only is an overstatement given the current polling dynamic,
but it's also an overestimation given that dissatisfaction people have
felt with Congress.

Speaker 10 (04:05):
Political analysts Laeddavidia told KTRH Trump's momentum could also help
down ballot Republicans.

Speaker 11 (04:10):
The national election does help influence lower ballot elections. The
way people respond to the top of the ballot can
have an effect lower on the ballot.

the Dell real sector in Texas. We're bringing in people

giving them false afilentquins, but we know are false claims,
and we're allowing them to stay.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Important them, adding we don't know who these people really
are because they're not vetted. Nine Houston area bars shut

know the ones you pay that Knnla Harris says you're

the process.

Speaker 16 (06:30):
It's old school spyings, sending employees from one store into another,
checking websites as well. Stu Lenard Junior told Fox Business
it's one way to keep prices from getting even more
out of hand, and his door's open.

Speaker 17 (06:43):
One thing I've learned in my fifty years of retelling
in our family business, if you raise prices, that's what
happens to sale.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
They go down.

Speaker 16 (06:51):
And there's this the Federal Trade Commission says Kroger won't
have the incentive to keep prices competitive if the proposed

We've got falling sales in craft beer for the first
time in over a decade. It happened last year as
the industry struggled in this biden Heris economy.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
We're going to see the people that aren't serious about
it or bad financial banking going all away, while the
other ones that are surviving are going to have to
form alliances.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
Yeah, small businesses, that's what craft breweries, for the most
part are. Economist Hank Lewis says another factor, though, is
also the drop in the consumption due to changing taste perhaps,
but also some people with their health concerns gaining weight
existing home sales while they're lagging. Home remodeling has to
become again the order.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
Of the day.

Speaker 18 (07:44):
It's not the rate of home re modeling we saw
during COVID, but people are still getting busy freshening up

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Here in Houston's morning News. Out of an abundance of caution,
we are told we have more restaurants pulling onions after
what happened at McDonald's. Young Brands has pulled onions from
select Taco, Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut locations. Evidently they
went and checked their supply chain and found out that
some of the onions they get come from the same

(08:52):
people who supply McDonald's, Taylor Farms, who, by the way,
has been unreachable for comment about about the the recall
on the onions and about the E. Coli outbreak. But
then again, I'm sure they're lawyers. They have told them.
You know, we have one person who's died here in
forty nine people hospitalized.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
Let's not usually so you see when they report these
they come in and shut the business. They have not
shut no anybody down.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Nobody shut down. And this is all voluntary, by the way, Well,
what Young Brands is doing? They haven't you know, they
weren't told to stop serving onions. They weren't you know,
they weren't told that they had to issue any recalls
or anything. So they've they've just decided to. You know,
onion's got a bad name. Right now, let's just hold
the onions, okay, I mean we would. It isn't affecting

(09:38):
anybody as far as I know in Texas. I mean,
are you afraid to eat an onion? Right now? I
don't even know eat onions?

Speaker 6 (09:44):
Cook onions. I cooked my own, sure, you know, and
they cooked. I don't eat them wrong, right? You don't
like raw onion? No, not even on a burger. I've
eaten raw onions in Wacamola and things like that, you know,
Pikoda guy O, sure stuff sure, sure, but you know,
for the most.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Part, No, okay, I love onions. I'm not afraid to
eat one. But if it's it's not like meat, the
meat I gotta have.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Well, I love onions, but I put onions in everything, right,
I mean that I cooked them to cook onions.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah. Right.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
So it's the way to protect yourself from all kinds
of bacterio, you know, is.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
To not eat it raw. Five ten, Time for traffic
and weather together. Lord, let me check your breath. No,
you've had onions, I can tell.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
All right, let's get on this. Maybe that's why we
stink so bad on the freeway here, Jimmy. First of all,
two ninety West Road, that's a pretty gnarly wreck here.
It's a truck in ball of one two three lanes block.
All of this stuff happened at three o'clock in the morning.
It's not like we were rained in terry or anything,
you know, like we have ice on the road. But
two ninety outbound West Road. A boy, that they're going

(10:50):
to put you on the feeder here. You can do
the Katie Freeway, get around that Nord Freeway. Greens all right,
this is a wreck. It's has Matt involved here market
spring Mark from Springs looking.

Speaker 13 (11:00):
Went onto the barrier between the vane lanes and the HV.
They're sending everyone over to the feeder.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
All right, so that's all lanes blocks southbound North Freeway
at Greens and then east text I'm hearing I'm gonna
say at one time it's fatal southbound and it dropped
at three o'clock, so that's probably gonna stick with us
the rest of the morning. On the East texts, it's
a good morning to take the Hardy Toll Road if
you can, if you're not a big shot, jump on
the Beltway, and then of course it's free between East

(11:30):
texts and forty five and you can go ahead and
take forty five after the Beltway forty five is open.
We're going to watch this very closely the rest of
the morning. Skymike and the Classic Buick GMC.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Traffic Center from r KTRH top Tax Defenders twenty four
hour with a center. Terry Smith joins us, what can
you say different about the weather today, Terry, Let's see
what you can come up with, anything at all different,
any other different way to present this. It's groundholed day
around here. We need to change.

Speaker 19 (11:58):
We really do.

Speaker 20 (12:00):
Well.

Speaker 19 (12:00):
Unfortunately, I don't have much different except maybe less fog.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Right now.

Speaker 19 (12:05):
Hooks Airport's reporting a half mile visibility and that's it
so far. But we may get a little a few
areas with some fog. But you know, it's pretty quiet overall,
so the freeways aren't experiencing any weather problems, and it
looks dry and warmth through the weekend.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
I'm looking ahead.

Speaker 19 (12:23):
I do see some rain Wednesday and for a couple
days after that, and that will be a nice little
change of pace. But so far it has been a
very dry October at a very warm October, mid to
upper eighties today through the weekend Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday.
That's when mother Nature starts to shake things up.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Temperature right now sixty five at your officials, Severe weather
Station News Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 21 (12:49):
It's Houston's morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherra with the
info you need to.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Take on the day, five nineteen time here on Houston's
Barn News. I guess now's a good time to do
this because I brought up the onions and the you know,
the restaurant's not serving onions. Taco kit recalled over lyysteria,
contamination fears. What in the world is going on? Everybody
has lysteria and e coli these days. It is sold

(13:19):
at Sprouts Farmer's Market. If you buy your food there.
It is the Fresh Creative Foods, a division of Research
Fine Foods. Taco Kit, Chicken Street, Taco meal Kit, so
bad tacos. If you've got any of those, return those yikes.
I mean, it's just like every day we've got something.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well, everything fell apart, didn't it.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Supply chains being able to get people to work, qualify
people to work.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
I mean, this is just a continuation.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Well that's a problem when it when it messes with
the food supply, that's a problem. Well, yeah, that's a problem. Allright,
we're gonna figure this one out. Five twenty here in
Houston's morning most for me and I'll get rid of lasteria.
There you go, say, I mean, let's walk right in.
Where do I pull the lever?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
We got big problems here, Jimmy. First of all, all right,
East Text Freeway. Nothing good's happening there. This is southbound
right before the loop. Let me see if I get
the actual cross street that is they're calling it cross Timbers.
But inside the loop. Now, if you're inside the loop,
stay the course. Or if you're on sixteen, if you
could get on sixteen those ramps, you can get around this.
In fact, the east text will be probably wide open

(14:31):
after this, but southbound is completely shut down. If you're
a big shot, definitely do the Hearty Toll Road. If
you're not a big shot, do the North freeway. But
listen closely. Be sure you're inside the belt when you
enter a north freeway Greens that's a complete shut down here.
And let's see two ninety. I've got time, hight, Good.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Morning, sky Mike.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Just past the two ninety West Road.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
It was an eighteen wheeler carrying subtyple the load tell
lepts or something called on the fire. But the tuffic
is not outbound all right? As a traffic item, it's
not bad as the news item it might be. This
is westbound at West Road. Will zoom in on all
this at five point thirty and the Generator Supercenter dot

Five twenty three SI time here in Houston's morning news.

Speaker 15 (16:44):
A right.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I find it fascinating, yo. I always find polling fascinating,
which is why I talk about it so much, I guess.
But I find even more fascinating where the betting market is.
And I include the market is a part of the
betting market because that's what to me, that's what stocks are.
You're it's it's gambling. You're you're gambling. I mean, it's

(17:09):
it's not necessarily house odds like it is if you
go to Vegas, but you're still gambling. Charles Pain and
his Fox Business show had a guy on the by
the name of John Nigerian on. He thinks he knows
how the election goes. And here's what he does, which
I find fascinating. He takes certain types of stocks and

(17:29):
he attributes them to either Harris or Trump. For example,
if you're an oil producer, if you're a big oil company,
he would give it Trump and oilstock.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
I was going to ask you.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Give Trump and oilstock if if if you're a hair
you know if Harris's company would be like you know,
somebody who's in clean energy, a clean energy stock type
of type of thing. So, in other words, knowing what
their positions are on certain issues where they're at, you're betting.
The stock market is betting on who's going to win
the election. So which stocks are going up and which

(17:59):
stock going down?

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, oil stocks have been going down this week.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Okay, but here's here's here's an example of what he
has found. Let's take a listen to how he's ratualizing
how this is going to work out.

Speaker 22 (18:11):
And the last week, last week or two, these are
VP Harris proxyes. Yeah, they are, Oh my goodness, and
let me I'm getting I'm going I'm getting so wax
and in phase I may take a second job washing dishes.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I'm losing my shirt and as bad boy.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
I'm sorry about that. Yeah no, now you're tell me.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Six p twenty.

Speaker 23 (18:31):
These are massive declines in these times.

Speaker 24 (18:33):
Yeah, that's just one month from when her pulling numbers
topped out Charles till today. So I ran the uh
basically AI and found that Yeah, in phase down thirty
three percent, big drop yesterday too, Sun Run Solar and
First Solar, all of these down. So if those are
proxies for exactly as you said, she and Biden really

(18:54):
support the green energy thing, it's telling you that the
markets don't think she is going to be elected, right,
And there are proxies of course on the opposite side
for Trump.

Speaker 25 (19:05):
Right.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
We'll bring up those now, okay.

Speaker 23 (19:07):
And while we bring those up, I think the other
moral of the story is, you know, the idea that
government can pick winners and losers, right right.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I mean they're taking a lot of tax.

Speaker 23 (19:14):
Payer money and jumping into these things like these ev
charger stocks they got decimated. Let the market bring them,
We'll bring it. We want clean air, we want clean energy,
but it's got to be smart.

Speaker 14 (19:24):
Yes.

Speaker 23 (19:25):
So here at the same time period, these are some
of your Trump proxies.

Speaker 24 (19:28):
Yeah, because he has said that he wants to really
concentrate on construction and engineering bringing cities back floor. Does
that FLR It's up thirteen percent again since Kamala Harris's
poll numbers topped out, opposite move that she's making. PWR
also em E these are stocks that are moving to

(19:51):
the upside.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
And I'm sure there are more examples, and I'm sure
that every single stock that you would think would benefit
from a Trump presidency gone up. As you mentioned oil, but.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
There's a lot of is a commodity, so there's a
lot of different factors.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
That are overall.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Is you take a look at these things that the
things that you would associate with earthen to be trending down.
The things you would associate with them seem to be
trending on, which I guess would be a good sign. Right,
five twenty six, Time to take a look at your
money more scientifically. Yeah, thanksting Dote And.

Speaker 26 (20:25):

the election. We're starting to see that. But this morning

Sheriff Dale Schmidt there at a field hearing of the
House Judiciary Committee yesterday. It also put out a report
accusing this federal government of using the immigration court backlog
in order to allow illegal aliens, some of them criminals,
to stay here indefinitely, giving them a court dates.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
What ten years from now?

Speaker 6 (23:50):
More illegal aliens trying to beat a second Donald Trump
presidency were it to happen. Yet another caravan with thousands
has left southern Mexico trying to crash into America soon.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Five point thirty two is our time.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
More than two and a zero point eight million Texas
now have early voted this week, an all time high.
We're still hearing about problems though, with the vote in
North Texas.

Speaker 19 (24:14):
There's going to be a glitch somewhere and they may
be rightfully concerned.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
We will address it.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson. She was on WFAATV
in Dallas more on those issues in North Texas. At
six am, Donald Trump, campaigning in Arizona, responded to the
media smear against him that was based on debunked comments
by Trump's fire chief of staff John Kelly, who calls
Trump well, calls out Hitler. He wanted generals like Hitler.

(24:45):
Kelly allegedly has said, no.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I never said that.

Speaker 29 (24:49):
I would never say that. It's a rag that he
made up by stories. He's done it before. It's a
failing magazine.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah, the magazine Atlantic. Trump rally in Arizona and Nevada
yesterday and will be in Michigan today after a stop
in Austin. For a news conference and an interview with
a big podcaster, Joe Rogan. Former President Barack Obama campaign
for Kamala Harris and Georgia last night and actually made
the case for Trump.

Speaker 30 (25:18):
Too many folks here in Georgia and across the country
are struggling to pay the bills. We all know the
price of everything from housing, the healthcare, the groceries are
still too high and it hurts.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
Okay Kamala campaigns in Houston this afternoon, Texas Lieutenant Governor
Dan Patrick, calling it one of the dumbest political decisions
I've ever seen. It was in an interview with Fox
News Digital. The media not going to mention this, but
one of the major shifts this election cycle, it's that
big tech executives have gone maga, Sharon.

Speaker 31 (25:51):
It's something that Joseph Vasquez has been keeping crack of
at the Media Research Center.

Speaker 20 (25:58):
Seems pretty hard to believe, but there does seem to
be a noticeable shift, he says.

Speaker 31 (26:04):
One of the main reasons why is Elon Musk.

Speaker 20 (26:07):
Absolutely because he managed to take a stand as a
foe speech enthusiast, and you know that resonated and resonated
with other CEOs that realized they don't necessarily have to
do the bidding of big government.

Speaker 31 (26:17):
And the other big reason Trump and Republicans are better
for business, Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven k.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
T H five thirty five is are time Conservatives across
the country beginning to face the banking from major institutions
like JP, Morgan Chase, and Bank of America. Those banks
are being called out for this political discrimination.

Speaker 32 (26:41):
Their own political views they're going to foist on the
rest of us, or they're simply cowards and can't send
up to the socialist pressure that's being put on them.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
Indiana State Attorney General, they're Todd Rakeita, he says, is
just an effort to exercise more control over Americans and
restrict our rights. Overnight, futures trading up across the board
after a mixed stag on Wall Street yesterday. But there's
a new study finding a link between shifts in the
stock market and the mood of investors and their reliance

(27:13):
on antidepressants.

Speaker 13 (27:15):
Brother When stock prices go down, prescriptions for antidepressants actually
go up. Also comes as no surprise. The biggest increase
in those prescriptions come from age group forty five to
fifty five, as that tends to be the age when
saving for retirement comes more and more into focus and.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
You start watching your stocks in your four oh one
case KGRH money man Pat Shin there Ball State University
research found a near half percent increase in antidepressant prescriptions
following a twelve point eight percent drop in stock prices.

though they're having to switch things up in this economic squeeze.

Speaker 33 (28:14):
Eight and ten holiday travelers say they're changing plans this
year due to inflation. According to a bank Rate survey,
Bank Gread analyst Ted Rossman says people are looking to
save wherever they can.

Speaker 34 (28:23):
They're traveling for fewer days, They're picking seaper accommodation as
they're thriving instead of flying. Those were the three biggest modifications.
So people are still traveling, they're just traveling.

Speaker 33 (28:33):
Differently, and the majority plan to pay for their trip
with a credit card, which will add to the already

North Freeway at Greens it looks like that driver's okay.
If you look at it, you're like, whoa dude, this
is well, I am North Freeway southbound Greens Road. It's
an eighteen wheeler. He went right through that barrier and

(32:43):
here we are. They had to shut down the whole thing.
So it's not due to you know, nothing bad happening there,
But it looks like just for the nature of the mess,
and they've got to do with the wall. Blah blah blah. Southbound,
it's all breaks from air techs. They're putting you on
the feeder road. Jump on the North Beltway and you
can avoid both this and your east text problem. East text.
Nothing good's happening there. Cross timbers, So that's a big backup.

(33:05):

Once you get to the Belt, the North freeway's doing well,

our weather pattern, and we may get that by the
middle part of next week, which would be a welcome
change of pace. Rain and temperatures easing up a little
bit mid upper eighties today, mainly in the sixties Tonight

This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions. All Right, it's interesting to see how
things are moving the closer we get to election day.
Independents seem to be, especially in swing states, seem to
be moving towards Trump, moving a little bit more to
the right. And evidently big tech is also making a
move to the right, and that's unprecedented. Joseph Aasquez will

(34:49):
join us next associate editor at the Media Research Center
to talk about it. First, load traffic and weather together.
I'll be short glow ahead Skymine two ninety outbound West Road.

Next on the ten.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
I like it when it loves to the right. By
fifty two stars time here in Houston's warning news. And
evidently that's the direction big tech is going, an unprecedented
move to the ride this election cycle, joining us as
Joseph Vasquez, Associate editor at MRC, that's the Media Research Center. Joseph,
welcome to the show. Uh. You know, when you think
of big tech, you think of you know, the Bill

(37:04):
Gates of the world, and and and and those people
are moving to the right. So who is.

Speaker 36 (37:11):
Well, I got to tell you, like, you know, this
development is you know, is definitely shocking. You know, I
was just looking at a survey that was taken by
the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, and they found
an apparently free speech is I think the second most
second most important issue for voters, you know, for the

(37:33):
upcoming election, which is astounding, and I think a lot
of it has to do with the fact that the
Republicans and President Trump for that matter, have put a
spotlight on how much of a threat you know to
people's First Amendment rights, you know, the big tech is.
And so what I think is happening, and this is
just my theory, is that big tech is heading their bets.
They read the tea leaves, they know that could possibly

(37:55):
be a massive swing and administration in Washington, d C.
Both in Congress and in the world White House. So
they're trying to hedge their pets and crease favor with
the administration because President Trump is already you know, for examples,
threatened lawfare against Google for interfering in the election. So
and we know the Republicans have held hearings on you know,
on big tech sensoring speech. So it makes sense what

(38:18):
big tech is trying to hedge their bets now, so
definitely interesting, well big tech.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
Big tech also I think this theory Big tech cannot
shut down somebody like a Joe Rogan in his podcast.
He's got too many followers. He's got more than the
networks combined. So how it makes a lot of sense
when Donald Trump goes on Joe Rogan today, what of
course big tech is going to suddenly start shifting in

(38:44):
that direction. Nineteen million followers is a lot of money.

Speaker 20 (38:49):
Exactly right.

Speaker 36 (38:50):
I mean, like, you know, the explosion of alternative media.
People are you know, big tech CEOs are realizing that
they don't have as much control over the narrative as
they used to have. And I think, you know, for example,
that you kind of started, you know, at least in
the at least in Silicon Valley, this trend where you
know this, you know, this emphasis on free speech takes
place over curring, over trying to appease you know, government

(39:13):
pressure in Washington.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
You know, when we have these.

Speaker 36 (39:15):
Dystopian enterprises at the president that Biden administration has been
orchestrated and colluding with big tech companies to sensor speech.
You know, Elon Musk has kind of risen as kind
of a crusader against that, and I guess big six
CEOs are looking at that and you know, probably wanting
to follow suit as well. But as you said, you know,
the explosion of alternative media platforms like what Joe Rogan has,
you know, big tech doesn't have as much of the

(39:37):
monopoly on speech as it used to. So it's definitely
a welcome development to see that because that means there
seems to be a bit more emphasis on free speech,
which is what conservatives have been, have been, have been,
you know, really adamant about in Silicon Valley, and to
see free speech is the second most important issue, that

(39:58):
is huge, and I think think the big six CEOs
are looking at that and saying, you know what, you
probably should you probably need to start edging up that,
especially if Americans are starting to pay more attention to
what we're doing with their speech.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
So, in other words, they haven't really changed their minds,
changed their opinions, but maybe big government in Washington, d C.
Has made them a little bit nervous. Maybe all the
things the Bide administration asked them to do finally has
made them a little bit nervous to saying, you know what,
how how far are they willing to push us? You know,
who's bidding? Will we have to do next?

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Exactly well.

Speaker 20 (40:32):
Mark Zuckerberg had said it himself.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
He regretted the facts.

Speaker 36 (40:35):
That his platform Meta had catered so much to the
you know, to the whims of the Biden administration on
COVID nineteen and other things, and it really just showed,
you know, this is a dystopian enterprise that is taking
place in Washington, and you know that makes people incredibly nervous.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
No.

Speaker 36 (40:50):
George Owell said in nineteen eighty four that the revolution
will be complete when the language is perfect. And I'd
like to think that there are some texieos with a
conserence that don't want to see this stopian society, you know,
fully take place here in the United States, where we
put such an emphasis on free speech. So I'm praying,
I'm praying that a lot of tech CEOs, you know,
start realizing that free speech is paramount to our free society.

Speaker 20 (41:13):
So I hope you're erectly welcome to development.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
We'll see what happens, all right, Joseph, Thank you. Joseph Asquez.

percent chance to take control of the House of Representatives.
But that's likely being based on some questionable polls.

not only really overstating and overestimating, but I think it's
based on a flawed premise.

not true.

Speaker 21 (48:43):
Road KTRH, time saving traffic. Next on the ten, it takes.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Only our time. Here in Houston's punting news, I guess
Chris Tomlinson's worried about going to the jailhouse. He's written
in EDATORI you know who Chris Tomlinson is. Well, maybe
you don't, because nobody reads the Houston Chronicle anymore. So
I should let you know that he writes editorials for
the Houston Chronicle, the paper that nobody reads. But this
one did get national publication because they need more stories

(49:10):
like this right now because of how things are going.
Here is the headline that goes along with Chris's article.
Trump as threatened to jail his critics as one of them.
Should I worry? How long have we We've been listening
to this for the last four years? Have we not
this this supposed threat? The journalist feel that if Trump

(49:32):
is elected president, he will put all of them in jail,
and that anybody who disagrees with him will go to jail,
because after all, that's what happened during the first four
years of Drum's administration, is people who disagreed with him
went to jail.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
He's not a journalist, he's an editorial writer, and he's
a leftist.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Yes he is.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Well, I'll share a little bit to just help Harla know.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
How the Democrats cast on others what they are already
doing themselves.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
Yeap, look at it.

Speaker 5 (49:56):
Look look Steve Mannen's still in jail exactly.

Speaker 6 (50:00):
He should have been released with it early, so they
just didn't have time to do the paperwork, so they're
keeping him incarceray.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Yeah, January six, people skill in jail.

Speaker 6 (50:08):
Yeah, they're trying to send Donald drop his sentencing is
still ahead exactly.

Speaker 22 (50:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Okay, let me share this a little A vote for
Donald Trump is a vote for putting me in jail
along with anyone else who dares to criticize his policies publicly.
More than one hundred times since twenty twenty two, Trump
has threatened to punish people who disagree with him, according
to a tally by National Public Radio, who your taxpayer
dollars support. He goes on to say he calls journalist

(50:36):
the enemy of the people, anyone who disagrees with him evil,
and says critics are the enemy within more dangerous to
the nation than Russian President Vladimir Putin or Chinese President Xijingping.
Trump's language echoes fascist throughout history and his longest serving
chief of staff, and then he gets in the whole

(50:57):
John Kelly thing from there, which has been debunked ten
ways to Sunday anyway, if they're all on the same page.
But again, the fact that this is all turning up
just just in front of the election shows you how
desperate things have gotten. They really, they really are worried,
They are really super worried.

Speaker 6 (51:15):
Well, it's amazing that it all comes out at the
same time. These supposed free thinkers.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Oh yeah, well they're very.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
They're to criticize, you know, but it's also coordinated. Why
are all these things coming out at the same time, because.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
It's also coordinated, yes, exactly six ' ten type of traffic,
and whether it together.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
I was on NPR at one time.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
That's hard to leave, Stevan.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
I got hate mail. That's a true story. Let's go
to the East text.

Speaker 36 (51:39):
All right.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Let me give you a skip around around this East
text problem, because let's go straight to Holly from Porter Hate.

Speaker 28 (51:44):
The freeway shut down and cross Nimbers with the accent.

Speaker 20 (51:47):
Looks like it's right around.

Speaker 25 (51:48):
Six ten where you get off at six ten at
that deal every.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Friday, all right, that is southbound. It's all lanes blocked.
There's nothing good happening here. Also, we have to add
to your north side whoa, whoa southbound, it's completely the
North Freeway completely shut down at Greens Road. So here's
how you skip around this. If you're on the North Freeway,
if you could get to the North Belt. Once you
get past the belt, you're fine. Now in the East text,

(52:13):
this one's a little easier. If you're not a big shot.
You could jump off on will Clayton Parkway to JFK
to Hardy Street, not Hardy Toll Road, but Hardy Street.
So again that's Will Clayton Parkway to JFK to Hardy Street.
No one knows about that. If you are a big shot,
it's really easy. You could get on will Clayton Parkway
and do the Hardy Airport connector. But don't tell anybody

(52:34):
that two ninety that's an overturned eighteen wheeler outbound at
West Road. Hopefully everybody's okay, it's not a big traffic scooch.
In fact, we're okay on the inbound side Highway six.
We're wide open to the west Loop six to ten.
I'm Skymike on the Generators Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
From r KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four. Our weather center.
Terry Smith's standing by. We've got more sunshine coming, more
warmth coming. It's not Rucker warmth, is it? Let's close
to it. I guess it's close.

Speaker 19 (53:03):
I've been watching because did we say, yeah, today's Friday.
So Wednesday we had a record high inner Bush inter
Continental when it got up to ninety one, And the
records today for the airports where we keep the official
temperature and rain and all that kind of observation information

(53:26):
ninety two and ninety one.

Speaker 5 (53:27):
And I think for the most part, we're in the
mid to upper nineties.

Speaker 19 (53:29):
There'll be a couple of places that'll probably get close
I'm sorry, mid to upper eighties, and there'll be a
couple of places that get close to ninety. So it's
like we're almost there, but we're not quite there. And
I think that's what we're going to do through the weekend.
High pressure is just not going away. It's keeping not
only dry, but the humidity is fairly low, so it's

(53:50):
hard to get much in the way of clouds, and
temperatures will continue to run warmth for the most part,
mid to uper eighties today into Tuesday, and then a
pattern change, which would be a welcome change of pace
because we'll start to get some rain Wednesday and possibly
Thursday and Friday as well.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Temperature right now is sixty five. Here at your official
severe weather station, news Radio seven forty k TRH.

down at Greens. If you're a big shot, jump on
the Hardy toll road. If you're not, you could take
I don't want to put you on holding in Westfield,
Imperial Valley the East Text. You got an easy skip around.
Jump on the belt. That's a complete closure. East Tex
southbound at the loop, complete closure. So jump on the

Speaker 3 (56:46):
Six twenty three is our time here in Houston's morning news.
The bad mood comes when the stocks go down and
the prescriptions go up. I guess bat Shin joins us
KT Morning, Jimmy, Good morning our KTRH money man. We
shouldn't be surprised by this, should we.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Not at all?

Speaker 13 (57:00):
In fact, I'm a student of the markets, and one
of my favorite areas is what we call behavioral finance.
And there's been a lot written over the years on
this particular topic one of the things. So I'm not surprised.
But I have been in the business long enough. In
the old days, remember we got a quarterly statement in
the mail. There was no Internet. It showed the number

(57:22):
of shares that you had, and then you got out
your Houston Chronicle, you got out your Texas Instruments calculator,
you multiplied it out, and then you got your account
value at the end of the quarter. Today, of course,
you've got it on your phone, You've got it on
the desktop of your computer. And you know, when I
talk to people today, Jimmy, they talk about how much

(57:45):
they quote made or lost today.

Speaker 22 (57:48):
I know.

Speaker 6 (57:49):
And you can set your phone for alerts too, so
you could really panic. So people, what stocks go down
and all of a sudden they start going to the
doctor and needing antidepressants.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
Is this what this correlation is?

Speaker 36 (58:04):
Yep.

Speaker 13 (58:04):
So, being a student of behavioral finance, your brain the
same things the good Lord gave us to keep us
from running out in the cold with no clothes on,
or going out and running out in traffic in front
of a car, unfortunately causes to shoot ourselves in the
foot when it comes to finance. When things go up,

(58:25):
when the market goes up like it's going up now,
we're geared to believe that it's going to continue to
go up. In fact, we're very surprised when it doesn't
well on the downside, shaah. When markets are going down,
we're geared to believe that it's only going to get worse.
And of course, if you're in that age forty five
to fifty five, that's according to this study, that's when

(58:46):
you're most depressed. And so what do we do as investors?
Remember I've quoted for this this statement for Warren Buffett.
Many many times be greedy when others are fearful, and
fearful when others are greedy. I follow investor sentiment on
a weekly basis. It's part of the work that I do.
And of course right now investors are extremely optimistic. Market

(59:10):
hit new all times highs last Friday.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
You know, I want to ask I know this is
not about politics, but I do want to ask you
this before we let you go, because there's all a
whole lot of stock that's being put into you know,
witchstocks are going up, witchstocks are going down. The betting
market on who is likely to win to the election,
how accurate do you think that stuff is?

Speaker 13 (59:30):
So short term, it's a course showing that the market
believes that Donald Trump is going to is going to win.
I'll give you a quick idea. Let's look at energy.
Let's look at traditional energy, which would be exon chevron, knicco.
Let's look at clean energy, which would be windmills and solar.
During Donald Trump, traditional energy dropped forty percent and clean

(59:56):
energy went up three hundred percent. Under Joe Iden, traditional
energy went up one hundred percent and clean energy went
down fifty percent. Longer term, so Jimmy, there's going to
your point, there's gonna be a knee jerk reaction with
the election. The day after if Donald Trump wins, You're

(01:00:16):
going to see the private prison stocks go up, you're
going to see the solar stocks go down. But longer term, Uh,
it's the fundamentals. And so remember under Donald Trump, we
had a we had COVID, we had a global pandemic
which shut the world down. Oil went down to basically
zero temporarily. Under Joe Biden the economy opened up. It

(01:00:40):
wasn't them, it was the underline fundamentals, or what I.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Would call the big picture.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
That's that's my advice to.

Speaker 6 (01:00:47):
The problem for a one K is a lot of
it is not individual stocks. You're having to buy index
funds and everything, and you're at the behest of whoever
is managing your for a one k and whether it's
bonds or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
That's right.

Speaker 13 (01:01:00):
And so to your point, Shiah, most professional money managers
are not going to make trades around this. But to
Jimmy's point, right now the market is acting like Trump
is going to win. I would not as an investment advisor,
I would not recommend people try and trade around the
presidential election. You know, there's a lot of studies. In fact,

(01:01:21):
I was on a conference call yesterday that showed what
the market does when the incumbent wins. If the Dow
Jones industrial average is positive over the previous eleven weeks.
The incumbent wins. It's positive right now. If you follow that,
it says Kamala Harris wins. But remember this is a
very different election this year. We really don't have an

(01:01:43):
and we don't really don't have an incumbent. Nope, we don't.
All right, beat good to tay. Okay, guys, appreciate it.
Happy Friday, have a good weekend, you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):

Is now six thirty two on news radio seven forty
KTRH our top story this hour.

Speaker 28 (01:03:40):
In my twenty four years of law enforcement, I have
never seen the type of criminal element from outside of
our borders in our home state here at Wisconsin.

Speaker 5 (01:03:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:03:51):
That's the Sheriff of Dodge County, Wisconsin, Dale Schmidt, testifying
before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday. In a new report,
that same committee alleged that the federal government has used
immigration court backlogs to allow illegal aliens to stay here indefinitely.

Speaker 5 (01:04:07):
More illegals also.

Speaker 6 (01:04:08):
Attempting to take advantage of all that and want to
beat to clock just in case Trump gets elected. Another
caravan already headed here, another one with thousands more leaving
southern Mexico now in the hopes of invading before a
potential second Trump presidency. It is now six thirty three,
an all time record. Two point eight million Texans have

(01:04:30):
participated in early voting so far, and the Secretary of
State Jan Nelson telling a Dallas TV station she's concerned
by some of these issues we're hearing about this week
with North Texas voting machines. I don't want anyone who
is qualified to vote to be denied that vote.

Speaker 5 (01:04:51):
That would be terrible.

Speaker 6 (01:04:53):
We'll have more in this at seven am. Donald Trump,
campaigning in Arizona, asked by Fox Digital if he would
consider a pardon for Hunter Biden should he win election
next month.

Speaker 38 (01:05:03):
They could have done it with Hillary, and certainly do
it with Hunter or whatever, but I don't want to
do it with Hunter either. And I'll bet you the
father probably pardons him. Let's see what happens. But he's
a bad boy, there's no question about it. But I
don't want to hurt people.

Speaker 6 (01:05:17):
Yeah, he said he'd consider it. Trump held rallies in
Arizona and Nevada yesterday. He's in Texas today a news conference,
and then he'll be visiting with the Joe Rogan for
his big podcast before he goes to a rally tonight
in Michigan. Former President Barack Obama was stumping for Kamala
in Georgia last night.

Speaker 30 (01:05:39):
I'm here to explain to you just because the X
goofy does not mean his presidency wouldn't be dangerous.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
Obama forgetting his own antics in Michigan this week, trying
to wrap the lyrics to an eminem song. New data
shows that big tech executives have shifted heavily toward the
right in this election cycle. Joseph of Luscuez with the
Media Research Center says, is for a number of reasons.

Speaker 20 (01:06:06):
Big tex CEO the you know, probably realizing, hey, you
know what, at least you know, with the other side,
we have more opportunity, less regulation. And it's also, you know,
another factor can also be this could be a cover
your rear end moment.

Speaker 6 (01:06:18):
Yeah. He also said perhaps Elon Musk has led the way.
The family of a murdered Houston Army specialist Vanessa Gien
now pushing back on the story that the left wing
magazine Atlantic ran claiming President Trump didn't want to pay
for Gien's burial after promising to do so. Vanessa's sister,
Myra Giyen, says, this is just reopening the family's wounds.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
After four long years.

Speaker 17 (01:06:45):
It was just to stop in the face to my family,
hurtful in all kinds of ways.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
It brought back so many bad memories that we had.

Speaker 6 (01:06:53):
She has that the reporter misled the family about what
he was going to accomplish with the story and that
Trump was very respectful to them. She also says she
voted for Donald Trump. It's now six thirty five. Conservative
organizations all across this country are finding out that their
bank accounts aren't safe. They're being shut down, some of

(01:07:14):
them by major banks like JP, Morgan Chase, and Bank
of America.

Speaker 10 (01:07:19):
This looks exactly like what happened to the Freedom Convoy
in Canada.

Speaker 37 (01:07:23):
The government powers that be in the banking industry did
not like what the Freedom Convoy was doing in Canada
and just cut off their financial resources.

Speaker 10 (01:07:31):
Political consultant Nick Linquist told KTRH these banks are counting
on Conservatives to not push back here.

Speaker 37 (01:07:37):
If something like this sort of threaten their futures, I
think that would be huge and they might actually reverse
some of this stuff if we try hard enough.

Speaker 10 (01:07:44):
Linquis says that if enough noise is made and the
election goes well, we could see federal legislation to stop this.
Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty KTRH, Well, as we've
just learned this morning, did you know there's a connection
between stock price drops and arise in the use of antidepressants.

Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
Actually it makes sense.

Speaker 18 (01:08:05):
A new study is showing an increase in antidepressant prescriptions
following drops and stock prices.

Speaker 13 (01:08:11):
One the ease and availability of stock prices. When I
first started, there was no internet.

Speaker 18 (01:08:18):
KRH money man Pat Schinn says the access people have
to viewing their investments and human behavior are reasons for this.

Speaker 13 (01:08:25):
The other reason is human behavior, more specifically investor behavior
than while markets change, investor behavior repeats itself over and over.

Never sounded so good. Yes, six thirty eighty So time
here on Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 10 (01:09:42):
This is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
This is an alarming statistic. I'm having a hard time
finding out more about. I'll just share this with you
because this is the graphic I saw that just been
go what you know. I got to tease this story
by saying the left's desire to make everybody depend upon
the government rapidly becoming true. And it hasn't taken very long.

(01:10:04):
It's only taken about the last twenty five years. Twenty
five years ago, less than one percent of the US
population was receiving government aid. Would you care to guess
how many of us are now receiving government aid? In
twenty twenty four some form of government aid.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
Oh, it was more than fifty percent of the popular
fifty three percent.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Yeah, fifty three percent. It's gone from less than one
percent to fifty three percent in the last twenty five years.

Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
Have they count baby boomers who draw Social Security in
that right, that's government assistance? Well it is, and people
on Medicare. And when you think that that big bulk
of population was baby boomers, you know, baby boomers, that's
part of it. Are starting to die out now, right,
but it's taken this long.

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
That's part of it. But another big part of it
is welfare benefits, health insurance benefits, food assistance, housing assistance, oh,
school loans, death benefits, you know, direct payments from the
government as far as working for the government. That's what
I guess that's the point I'm trying to make. All
by design. When you have the majority of the population

(01:11:13):
dependent on the government for some form of assistance in
order to be able to live, then they've got you
just where they want entitlements.

Speaker 5 (01:11:22):
And that's and that's what the dead is all about.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
Yep, exactly right, thirty two trillions in counting, take forty
time for traffic, and we are together.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
Some government cheese. Have you ever tasted cheese from the government?

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Government cheese?

Speaker 18 (01:11:35):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Is it?

Speaker 10 (01:11:35):

total shut down. The recks actually at the loop. Nothing

(01:12:02):
good's happening there. What we're doing here, Well, we're getting
a little crazy now on the Hardy toll Road because
I've got a wreck that southbound at Ritchie. It's on
the shoulder. Four vehicles here, kind of a sticky spot. Now,
I've got Andrew from Most City here mony.

Speaker 30 (01:12:16):
Sky Mike is getting pretty heavy coming south, especially at
the exit Jizy Sam Houston toll roads getting seriously backed up.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
All right, you don't want to get on the toll
way feeder road southbound. That's nasty. The best thing to
do if you are a west of forty five, work
your way to two forty nine if you're east of
do the east text east text. I know we're scooched
at all Dean Westfield, but it's better to go that way.
Take the North Salm it's free if you're not a
big shot, and then take your forty five north free

(01:12:46):
way because once you pass Green's Point, forty five is
wide open. I don't really want to say that skylike
going to generate because I'll jinks it. I'm in the

Little patchy fog to break up the monotony. It's pretty
much the same forecast every day, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:05):
It really is.

Speaker 19 (01:13:06):
You know, this is kind of like a summer weather
pattern where it's day after day of warm weather.

Speaker 5 (01:13:11):
But the one thing that's missing is the humidity.

Speaker 19 (01:13:15):
Like our humidity is much lower than what we usually
have in the summer months, and that's part of the
reason we're staying dry as well. We just don't have
enough moisture to see those showers and storms. So lots
of sunshine and lots of warmth, and we're getting close
to record highs, but I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
Think we'll quite make it.

Speaker 19 (01:13:33):
Most of us in the mid to upper eighties today,
Tomorrow it's Sunday. There'll be a few places near ninety.

Continued issues with early voting in Terring County, Texas. As
This state is breaking all time early voting records. A
new book by Bob Woodward quotes some witnesses as saying, well,

(01:15:40):
President Joe Biden a year ago looked like a senile grandfather,
and say much for all those people who covered it up.
The leftist LA District Attorney has recommended re sentencing for

(01:16:03):
will be at the top of the hour.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
I live in Katie, I live in Ito. You're reliable forecast.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Next on the ten on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
Really, Joe Rogan six fifty two, here's our time. I
mean we got to get the MAM's due. I mean
there are how many how many people listening to the
Joe Rogan podcast every week?

Speaker 5 (01:16:23):
Well has nineteen million.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
Followers, nineteen million people. Okay, so obviously if you're President
Donald Trump, like on a.

Speaker 5 (01:16:31):
Good day, networks are happy if they get three million.

Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
Well yeah, I mean CNN, CNN is happy even they
get get anywhere near one million. CNN, I don't know
last time CNN broke one million on many of its shows.
It's been a long long time, so yeah, you can
see why that might be kind of an important place
for President Trump to go, especially concerning in the fact
that there's a lot of young men who listen to
that podcast. So Joe Kancia, who follows the media for Fox,

(01:16:56):
was asked the question about the importance of going on
a show like Joe Rogan, especially when it comes to
appealing to young men. Can that make a difference not
just mail voters necessarily todd but male voters who may
not normally vote, you know, the low professionally voters. We
keep hearing that term, and that's the type of audience
that Joe Rogan is going to get Donald Trump too.
And this is what a winning campaign looks like.

Speaker 39 (01:17:18):
There you saw Trump happy warrior at the Al Smith
dinner while Kamala Harris is mainly in the most cringeworthy
video in the history of crimsworthy videos. Trump and that
master stroke that was working at McDonald's on Sunday that
still has a meltdown going on on the left because
it worked. Trump at the Steelers Jets game on Sunday
night in Pittsburgh, He's met with thunderous applause in the

(01:17:39):
city that Biden won by twenty points four years ago,
and now Trump on Joe Rogan. You could always tell
who's winning by who's having a good time on the
campaign trail. Trump clearly is, while Kamala Harris is doing
patently depressing events with Liz Cheney, because when you think
winner is Todd, you think Lombard, Ali, Jeorge Grady, Serena

(01:17:59):
Williams some small miles most recently, and now, of course
I have to had Liz Cheney shot listen right, who
has never smiled once in her lifetime. So now the
question is, will Kamala Harris also sit down with Joe Rogan?
He averages fifteen million viewers and listeners per show, or
twenty times of your average CNN audience.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
For Kamala Harris will go tonight.

Speaker 39 (01:18:19):
She could continue to go to her safe spaces. That
doesn't get her one more vote. Trump going to Rogan
that absolutely will get him some more votes.

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
There's no way she's going on Joe Rogan because there's
no way Joe Rogan agrees to just ask the questions
provided and so that's completely out for her. By the way,
President Trump this weekend it's going to a football game again,
Penn State, Ohio State. I think there might be some
interests in that game.

Speaker 6 (01:18:43):
Yeah, they showed him on camera. You couldn't downplay the applause,
but they showed him on carrot. Think about all these
games where we had to go look at Taylor's whatever
her name is.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Swift, Yeah, Taylor Swift.

Speaker 6 (01:18:56):
They cut away to her about every two seconds. Fl
Did you do that when Donald Trump was at a game?

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
Of course not, but that's okay. They know he's there.
One hundred over one hundred thousand people will be there
and from a battleground state in almost to battleground state,
former battleground state, Ohio. Pretty good place to be.

Speaker 6 (01:19:14):

have to be so contrary.

random man that elis.

Speaker 11 (01:24:46):

have a world famous Christmas catalog anymore. Oh wait a minute,
the catalog still exists. The fantasy gift items still exist.

(01:28:35):
It's the Christmas that no longer exists. They have changed
the name, quietly re branded the Holiday Book. At least
they referred to as the Holiday Book before. They don't
even do that now. It's called a Nieman's fantasy. There's
no Christmas trees, there's no Christmas lights. There's nothing to

(01:28:59):
idel it as a holiday per se, other than their
fancy things that they over priced items that they like
to sell, and people working for Nemon Marcus at their
Dallas headquarters are not real happy about it. I don't
know if if you ever you ever heard the name
of the CEO of Nemon Marcus. This is quite a handle.
Jeffrey Van ron Donnick is the CEO. He's restructured and

laid people off. He is also, as I said, taking

mentioned in Christmas. That's that's a one hundred and seventeen
year old history that's been obliterated, one assumes, in the
name of political correctness. So there you go. But the
good news is is it should be very easy for

most of us to protest Nemon Marcus because we can't
afford the stuff they sell anyway, at least not in
the catalog. What do they have this year? They have?

weather pattern, it's only just minor fluctuations and the temperature.
The good thing is, even though it's warm, it's not
very humid, so we get to enjoy some comfortably more
comfortably warm temperatures than we would in the summer. Problem is,
we are running a dry, extended period of dry weather,

(01:32:41):

why I'm standing over here.

Speaker 3 (01:35:15):
Goold you.

Speaker 5 (01:35:17):
Anytime at KGH dot com.

Speaker 6 (01:35:20):
Our next update will be at the bottom of the
hour because this matter.

Speaker 11 (01:35:25):
Seeing the effects of the strike missive and decide the
that Trump back as president.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
Is news Radio seven is not over yet KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
Yeah, but is there a seventy percent chances are that
the Democrats retake the House? Blad Davidio joins those political analysts.
What do you think they base this on? Lad?

Speaker 11 (01:35:47):
Hey, good morning. Yeah, They're basing this really on two factors. First,
or foremost, the fact that the House of Representives is
so closely divided, I mean, is it is neck and
next fifty to fifty at this point. But also if
you look at each of the races, there's very few
races that could be considered legitimate toss ups in which
there's no strong lean either Democrat or Republican. And we're

(01:36:11):
looking at about twenty five seats, and so the difference
between those is, you know, which one of those are
districts that were won by Biden in twenty twenty Which
are those that are that look like to lean towards
Trump in twenty twenty four. And so when you really
dive into it, you can see that there's probably going
to be a pretty sharp delineation between the two and

(01:36:32):
it's probably still closer to fifty to fifty. But what
they're thinking is a lot of these districts are more
in areas and states that Biden one districts at Biden won,
and it's going to be harder for Trump to flip those.
So that's why they're saying this seventy percent. But if
you look at a lot of other polsters, a lot
of other analysts, they're pretty much saying something almost opposite,

(01:36:53):
where it could be a split or it could be
fifty to fifty. Either way, it's looking like either way
it's going to end up very close. But my thinking
is that Republicans are to pull out a very close
win in the House.

Speaker 6 (01:37:08):
Very close when and can you get how many seats
you're thinking.

Speaker 11 (01:37:13):
Right now, we're looking at probably between two hundred and
eighteen and two hundred and twenty seats. It's going to
be close either way, simply because the margins are just
so tight right now. Republicans had some challenges in the
last session of Congress where they lost a couple of
seats of people resigning, people being pushed out of office,

(01:37:35):
and several of those seats went flipped over to the Democrats.
So a seat that was held by a Republican now
is being held by an Incomban Democrat. You know, facing
reelection or facing election for the first time, and that
really affects the political calculus.

Speaker 3 (01:37:51):
Yeah, what are we thinking about the Senate? Blood Senate looks.

Speaker 11 (01:37:55):
Much more strong to be a strong Republican. It's very
likely that the and it will flip from Democrat control
to Republican control. The numbers are looking very strong there.
The challengers to some of those Democratic comments in various
states are doing exceptionally well. The numbers have really started
to trend upwards as we approach election day. It's looking

(01:38:17):
like a very strong knife for Republicans in the Senate
on election night.

Speaker 6 (01:38:20):
Okay, this may be out of leftfield for you, but
Kamala Harris coming to Houston, Texas to campaign rather than
being in a battleground state, what does that indicator to
you tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:38:33):
I think I think that is an attempt to really
try to boost her perception of performing well by getting
some star power out there. She's not going, as you say, share,
She's not going to battleground states to really motivate voters
who can affect the outcome of the race. She's trying
as hard as she can to look for the biggest

(01:38:54):
crowd that she can get and she knows that. You know, Houston,
Texas is in the heart of a very blue county,
and so she's hoping to take advantage of that opportunity.
She looks really bad optically this past few weeks. She's
had a few bad events. Certainly the CNN town hall
was a disaster for her. She's looking to transform that
with a friendly crowd and hopefully try to affect the

(01:39:17):
perception of her race. Right now, she's underwater. She knows
it all right.

Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
Well. And Colin Alrad of course, is running for Ted
Cruise's seat. Do you think the Democrats have an idea
that they think that somehow she can help his chances
of the beating Ted Cruz because I don't see her
doing anything but hurting him.

Speaker 38 (01:39:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:39:36):
No, every time every time she's mentioned in the same
breath with Colonaugra, he loses voters there. It's really just
a naked effort to try to get the voters who
are anti Ted Cruz, anti Donald Trump, unified in their
hatred of the Republican Party, not necessarily motivated to mote

(01:40:00):
to support Colin Albred or Kamala Harris because they believe
that they can win. But really just unifying around antipathy
and hatred, and really it's just trying to get that
friendly crowd that stay.

Speaker 1 (01:40:14):
Nough will motivate them.

Speaker 3 (01:40:16):
Okay, Glad, thanks as always appreciate it. Political analyst Lad Davidik.

He was at a field hearing of the House Judiciary
Committee yesterday, which also put out a report that accuses
this federal government of Biden Harris of using the immigration
court backlog in order to allow illegal aliens to stay
here indefinitely, and more are trying to come, apparently to

somewhere and they may be rightfully concerned.

We will address it.

Speaker 6 (01:43:40):
That's Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson on WFAATV in Dallas.
Donald Trump, campaigning in Arizona, responded to the media smears
against him based on those debunk comments by his fire
chief of staff John Kelly, who claims that Trump quote
wanted generals like Hitler, j generals.

Speaker 1 (01:44:02):
No, I never said that.

Speaker 27 (01:44:03):
I would never say that.

Speaker 29 (01:44:04):
It's a rag that he made up my stories. He's
done it before. It's a failing magazine.

Speaker 5 (01:44:11):
Yeah, it was in Atlantic.

Speaker 6 (01:44:14):
Trump will be in Michigan today after a stop in

Tamala Harris campaigning in Houston this afternoon. Media not going
to mention it, but one of the major shifts this
election cycle big tech execs, they've gone mega suary.

Speaker 31 (01:44:52):
It's something that Joseph Vasquez has been keeping crack of
at the Media Research Center.

Speaker 20 (01:45:00):
Pretty hard to believe, but there does seem to be
a noticeable shift, he says.

Speaker 2 (01:45:05):
One of the main reasons why is Elon Musk.

Speaker 20 (01:45:08):
Absolutely because he managed to take a stand, you know,
as a free speech enthusiast, and you know, that resonated,
that resonated with other CEOs that realized they don't necessarily
have to do the bidding of big government.

Speaker 31 (01:45:18):
And the other big reason Trump and Republicans are better
for business.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven k T seven thirty five.

Speaker 6 (01:45:28):
Now, Conservatives across this country beginning to face de banking
from major institutions like JP Morgan, Chason, Bank of America.
Those banks being called out for what is political discrimination.

Speaker 32 (01:45:41):
Their own political views they're going to foist on the
rest of us, or they're simply cowards and can't send
up to the socialist pressure that's being put on them.

Speaker 6 (01:45:50):
That's the Attorney General of Indiana, Todd Raketi, who says

Eight and ten holiday travelers say they're changing plans this

Bank Rate analyst Ted Rossman says people are looking to
save wherever they can.

Speaker 34 (01:46:24):
They're traveling for fewer days, They're picking cheaper accommodation as
they're thriving instead of flying.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):

We're busy. I'm Shewy Fryer on news radio seven forty
k TRH.

Speaker 3 (01:47:53):
You like free stuff. We all like free stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:47:56):
Guess what our Ihearts Radio app is free and free
never sounded so good.

Speaker 3 (01:48:04):
I think I founded bigger farce than the producer's Springtime
for Hitler, and that would be Hillary Clinton making a
claim that Donald Trump is reenacting the Madison Square Garden
rally of nineteen thirty nine with his New York City rally.

(01:48:26):
He's going to it's gonna be a reenactment now for
those who don't know their history or never learned their
history on this one. Back in nineteen thirty nine, before
the beginning of World War Two, there were actually people
who supported Adolf Hitler and Germany, and they had a
support rally in New York City. You know, a whole

(01:48:47):
bunch of fascists showed up and did a big, big
support function for for Adolf Hitler. That's the claim she's making,
that Trump is Hitler and he's holding a rally and
all of his fascist supporters are going to show up,
and we should be very concerned about this, he said.

(01:49:07):
She said President Franklin Roosevelt was a pall that neo
Nazis fascists in America were lining up to essentially pledge
their support for the kind of government they were seeing
in Germany. So I don't think we can ignore it.
It may be elite for some people, you think, and
a lot of others may think. I don't want to
go there. I don't want to say that, but please
open your eyes to the danger of this man poses

(01:49:28):
to our country, because I think it's clear and president
for anybody paying attention.

Speaker 5 (01:49:31):
Yeah, we had so.

Speaker 6 (01:49:32):
Prominent Americans who supported them, and they weren't Republicans, they
were Democrats.

Speaker 3 (01:49:36):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (01:49:38):
Don't forget that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
That's right. So but I think in a nutshell she's saying,
of course the Trump is Hitler and that you, as
a Trump supporter, you're a Nazi sympathizer. And if that's
what she wants to call me, I'm fine with that.
I have absolutely no problem. It's just it's just, you
know what I think this is really all about, because
we've heard so many calls for it here over the

(01:50:01):
course of the last few days. The last time they
did a real ramp up on the whole Trump is
Hitler thing, we had not one but two assassination attempts.
I hate to say, but I think the only they
think the only way at this point. They may be
getting desperate enough where they're trying to give somebody the
motivation to make another try.

Speaker 5 (01:50:20):
It's disgusting.

Speaker 3 (01:50:21):
It is seven forty. Time for traffic and weather together

Speaker 3 (01:50:47):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
That's a big pack up now eastbound all the way
from the golf ball in fact, Terry, So if you're
trying to get that way, let's let's take some back

pretty either. Now we have extra stuff. We've got the
vehicle fire North Freeway PARAMOUNTA southbound. You've got the complete closure.
The eighteen wheeler cranes are trying to pick this up.
Everybody's okay, but that's a shutdown at the Beltway East

happening there. And Hardy's had all kinds of issues all

there's nothing nothing to see here.

Speaker 19 (01:52:08):
Yeah. We are dry, folks. The humidity is low, that's
part of it. High pressure has been keeping us dry.
No storms on the way, so it's quiet. Let's just
call it quiet.

Speaker 5 (01:52:18):
And that's not a good thing because we need the rain.

Speaker 19 (01:52:21):
We've been dry this month and there's no rate insight
into Wednesday, and that's when things change. So between now
and Tuesday, sunny, warm, mid upper eighties for most of us,
a few of us close to ninety, maybe.

Speaker 5 (01:52:33):
A little bit warmer than that.

Speaker 19 (01:52:35):
But Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday next week there's the
possibility of some rain and we need that rain and

I think they realized that they know they can't they
can't take a positive approach on it because there was
nothing positive to say about it. You can imagine what
the Greg Guttfeld panel on his show I had to

Speaker 6 (01:55:47):
Yeah, there's That's what I'm saying. All of a sudden,
Kamala Harris is coming here. I'm I think there's things
going on.

Speaker 3 (01:55:56):
Yeah, I just a little funny business. Maybe, well, well,
I think Teron.

Speaker 6 (01:55:59):
Tumblams up in Terran County, which typically is more Republican
than has gone more republican than Democrats.

Speaker 5 (01:56:07):
But I don't know who's in office running that thing
up there.

Speaker 3 (01:56:11):
I got you and I got you there, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:56:13):
Precinct chairs are I don't know how that works. And
you know, Terring County is kind of big.

Speaker 3 (01:56:18):

Yeah, you know, all right, well, because I need a
laugh and you could probably.

Speaker 5 (01:56:40):
I could use a laugh. I need one every day.
After I finished this.

Speaker 3 (01:56:44):
Let's let's see what the Gutfeld crew had to say
about Kamala Harris's performance at the CNN Down Hall.

Speaker 41 (01:56:50):
It was almost amazing, right, Her responses to some of
this stuff was unbelievable.

Speaker 40 (01:56:55):
Oh you missed my favorite one, which is so a
libertarian asked her that they introduced the saying, this is
a registered libertarian, and he asked her about grocery prices
and you know, rent expensive. And she goes on by
bragging about how she be the first person essentially to.

Speaker 5 (01:57:10):
Institute price controls.

Speaker 2 (01:57:14):
I guess, be yourself.

Speaker 40 (01:57:16):
But you can give her credit for that, except for
she didn't seem to notice the irony of the fact
that that was her answer to a there's one thing
that libertarians love, it's government instituted price control, and it's
she made a joke about it. That'd be one thing.
But I was watching that, I was like, oh my god,
she's a nod. A libertarianis.

Speaker 3 (01:57:40):
Not a clue.

Speaker 41 (01:57:41):
I realized this, and thinking about this that contestants on
Shark Tank prepare more for that than she is for
the presidency. Like they actually have to explain something that
they're selling. She can't explain what she's selling.

Speaker 35 (01:57:57):
Let me bring it back to my favorite topic, money.
We get it, give me a moment. Eighty eight percent
of investment advisors can't beat the S and P five
hundred eighty eight percent. So you give them a million
dollars at the beginning of the year, or you just
put in the SMP at eighty eight percent fail. There's

(01:58:17):
some stock picking going on here by Obama and Pelosi
and Schumer. They picked her because they're good stock pickers.

Speaker 2 (01:58:25):
They picked Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 35 (01:58:27):
Oops, yeah, they missed that eighty eight percent right there.
But what we're seeing here, and I'm pretty sure this
is going to be it. When you circumvent democracy, it
goes right behind you and bites you in your ass.
Because what should have happened is they should have run
a process, let her run there too, figure out who

(01:58:49):
is the right person to do this when Biden stepped aside,
and they wouldn't be.

Speaker 21 (01:58:54):
In this mess right now.

Speaker 35 (01:58:55):
Bec there's a reason she lost in twenty nineteen. There's
a reason she got smoked in twenty twenty it's.

Speaker 3 (01:59:01):
This, Yeah, it's this, this being her of course. All right, listen,
this is a no politics weekend at my house. I
suggest you do the same. We'll pick it back up
five am Monday morning. You're on Houston's Morning News. Have
a great weekend.
