Speaker 3 (00:17):
It is a five am Good morning, Jimmy Baird here
on Houston's Morning News. Among our top stories as we
get started this morning, Trump has made a deal with
China on rare earth minerals. Everyone but Chuck Schumer says
the government shutdown is not going well. And coming up

just for use guy Mike. First though, let's check out

We'll get you the complete forecast days cool all the
way through the weekend. We'll check it out with Terry

Radio seven forty KTRH. It's time now for the news.

(01:32):
Here's Clyff Launders.

Speaker 7 (01:33):
Thank you, Jimmy, and good morning everyone. It's five oh
one on KTRH, our top story this morning.

Speaker 8 (01:39):
Overall, I guess on the scale, I'm from zero to ten,
with ten being the best I would say. The meeting
was at.

Speaker 7 (01:45):
Twelve President Trump aboard Air Force One, reacting to his
meeting with China's es in Ping. Trump announcing a cut
to tariffs on China after she promised tougher enforcement on fentinol.
You also said he would visit China early next year,
and he announced that he's ordered the Department of War
to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately. This comes after Russia

(02:07):
claimed this week, they have tested a new invincible nuclear
capable weapon in Washington. Newly released documents show that the
Biden FBI spied on more than one hundred and sixty Republicans.
That's part of its so called Arctic Frost investigation. One
of them was Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson.

Speaker 9 (02:27):
Obtaining the phone records of members of Congress is an
outrageous violation of separation powers.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
But it's just a tip of the Iceberg.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Johnson on Fox. The Schumer shutdown is in day thirty.
Democrats like Schumer throwing meltdowns over SNAP and as opposed
to negotiating with the Republicans.

Speaker 10 (02:44):
And the last shutdown rather twenty nineteen January eighth, twenty nineteen.
They funded it, so don't believe the bull and I
hope in every story you will write that they can
fund it on their.

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Own, just like we're telling you it every story that
Senate Democrats have voted a dozen times to keep the
government closed. The SNAP debate is shedding new light on
this massive government program that is chock full of fraud.

Speaker 11 (03:08):
The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP, is supposed to
provide temporary help to those at or below the poverty line,
but it has grown far beyond that. James Quintero with
the Texas Public Policy Foundation says more than a million
illegal aliens were found to be on the program.

Speaker 12 (03:23):
One point five million non citizens are milking American taxpayers
for money that was not intended to go to them,
and we need strong congressional action to put a stop
to it.

Speaker 11 (03:37):
The government estimates forty two million people are on SNAP,
which equals about one in eight people in America. Coryolson
News Radio seven forty KTI eight.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
And it's easier than you think to qualify for SNAP.
Most adults ages eighteen to fifty four with no kids
can get those benefits, depending on their income.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
This is how bad the shutdown is for Democrats.

Speaker 7 (03:57):
Even CNN says it's helping republic Kikins, It appears that
the American people realize this is the result of Democrat obstruction.

Speaker 13 (04:05):
Then the Senate, you need a Senate majority, which is
sixty votes. It is not in the fifty three that
the Republicans had. You need seven Democrat senators to come
over in to.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
Vote, and there are several that have, but they are
not at.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
That sixty Republican Congressional candidate Kyle Sinclair says, it's all
the result of Chuck Schumer caving to the demands of
AOC and the squad. It's five ho four looking at
your money. The Fed does what it was expected to
do in support of.

Speaker 14 (04:31):
Our goals and in light of the balance of risks
to employment and inflation. Today the Federal Open Market Committee
decided to lower our policy interest rate by a quarter
percentage point.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
That's the good news. Here's the bad news.

Speaker 7 (04:42):
Federal Reserve chare Jerome Palell said another rate cut in
December is not a foregone conclusion. That is not what
markets wanted to hear. The Dow closed down seventy four
points yesterday and futures are off one hundred and eighty
points this morning. So far, even after the productive Trump
she meeting, oil futures this morning are in the sixty

(05:03):
dollars a barrel range. Prices in twenty twenty six are
expected to hit a low price point as oil executives
ramp up American production in the Permian Basin.

Speaker 15 (05:14):
The Permian Oil Basin in Texas and New Mexico produces
forty percent of US oil and is projected to hit
seventy percent by twenty forty. David Holt, president of Consumer
Energy Alliance, credits President Trump.

Speaker 16 (05:27):
They put in US policy fun and center by declaring
an energy kind of emergency.

Speaker 15 (05:31):
He says this not only decreases gas prices. Natural gas
is used in household appliances, used every day.

Speaker 16 (05:38):
Everything in your car, and carpeting and paint, and a
single thing we use on a daily basis.

Speaker 15 (05:44):
He says, American energy independence also keeps us out of
conflicts abroad that would affect the economy and prices. At
the pomp i'm Erica Smith News Radio seven forty KJRH.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
A newly announced pipeline project to connect Texas refineries with California.
Thanksperts say this will stabilize that state's economy, which has
become reliant on imported gasoline.

Speaker 17 (06:06):
Oil production in the state of California is dropping faster
than their use.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
Of gasoline is SMUs Bruce Bollock says this will be
a huge boost to Texas's oil and gas industry. The
thirteen hundred miles Western Gateway Pipeline is a joint project
from two Houston based oil companies, Phillips sixty six and
Kinder Morgan. The climate crowd just lost one of its
biggest champions. Bill Gates says climate changes not and exists

(06:33):
at existential threat to humanity.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Funny enough, AI may have killed it.

Speaker 18 (06:38):
All of this AI dreams and vision requires fossil fuels
and massive amounts expansion in nuclear and there's just no
room left, no oxygen left for climate claims. And that's
why Bill Gates is strategically shifting.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Mark Morano with.

Speaker 7 (06:52):
The Climate Depot says the climate lead energy transition was
never workable. Five oh six, Kevin Durant had thirty one
points to Rockets beat Toronto one thirty nine to one.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
North of the border.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's news, weather and traffic station,
news Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's one policy.

Speaker 13 (07:12):
Gonna take our capital back.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
We're taking it back after another.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
You burn a flag, you get one year in jail.
On news Radio seven KTRH. Today is National Candy Corn Day.
Skymike will celebrate. He loves candy corn. Evidently loves candy corn,
although I don't know how that's possible. You know it's
in candy corn, right, Sky Mike.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Sugar syrup or sugar stuff, sugar or white stuff Lord.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, here's exactly what's in it. Traffic cones, sugar, corn syrup,
confectioner's glaze, otherwise known by the way, otherwise known as shellac,
shellac clin.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
You know something about that shellac.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I want to eat, a piece
of candy that's been shellacked. Artificial flavors, food coloring. Oh,
I did find one fairly decent thing in there. Honey, honey.
There's some honey in there. Gelatin also in there. Artificial flavors,
artificial coloring including white, orange, and yellow dyes yellow six,

(08:13):
yellow five, and red forties, red forty one of the
ones that they're at they want to ban or their
banning or whatever. I'm not sure, but that's what's in
candy corn. In other words, it's something that you if
I had a snap card, I wouldn't use it to
buy candy corn. If I had a snap card, it
shouldn't you shouldn't be available to you to buy with

(08:36):
a snap card because there's absolutely zero nutrition involved. Now,
I know this is Halloween. Halloween is not about nutrition.
I'm not trying to suggest that you pass out apples,
but I am going to suggest that as bad as
candy can be. From a healthy nutrition standpoint, candy corn's
got to be right down there at the very very bottom. However,
candy corn is popular in states Nebraska, Kansas, Mississippi, and Alabama.

(09:06):
That's where it's the most popular. Now, I'm guessing in
Nebraska because it's a it's a corn production state. They
produce lotcorn in Nebraska. Kansas probably the same thing. Not
sure about Mississipi and Alabama. White's so popular there. The
other popular candy said, of course, are the number one
Halloween candy is Reese's Peanut buttercups, followed by M and M's,

(09:26):
Hershey's Milk chocolate be in the top ten, Snickers, KitKat twigs,
and sour Patch kids. If you have those things, you
are probably going to be very very popular for Halloween
five to ten. Time for traffic and weather together.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Candy corn, if you have it and you don't want it,
just to drop it by where we are in our
ram shackle building at twelve thirty three West Loops South.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Should we put like a dumpster out front?

Speaker 9 (09:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
No, people to throw it in the word is donation.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Bend donation, be sorry, thank.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
You, Good morning, honey, let's go here east side. We
had this wreck on it in the East Freeway. Cress
it's gone. So you know what that means. Oh yeah,
it's time. We don't have that much going on. I
like it like this. I know it's not going to
stay this way as we check times now, Golf Freeway
twenty one minutes in from NASA one. We look good here,
you know what, Let's hit some ship channel bridges, the

(10:19):
Hartman Bridge. Why don't they have it back there? There
we go Hartman Bridge camera three thirteen. Oh so looks good.
Baytown the Baytown side's good. En a flip over Laport.
You look nice. Tall Bridge looks pretty durn good. We

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Terry Smith is here. It looks like trigger treating is
going to be pretty good this year as far as
the temperatures go.

Speaker 19 (10:52):
Oh yeah, it's looking fantastic. I do have a question
for Skymike, do you need like a retaining wall built
in your or maybe some raised vegetable gardens. You could
use the candy corn to do that, you know, you
could kind of stack it up.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Sounds good to me, does like a does candy corn
have a shelf like like like a twinkie?

Speaker 9 (11:11):
You know?

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Wherever it goes bad, No, they'll be Keith Richards, cockroaches
and candy corn.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah. And if it does go bad, how.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Would you know, Yeah, how would you know, Mike, It.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Would lose it would lose some of that slack flavor
I think.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
Okay, I'm out, Okay, all right, back to the weather.

Speaker 19 (11:31):
Yeah, it's looking really really good for anything today and
tomorrow and Saturday. We do have a little bit of rain,
but it shouldn't ruin Saturday by any means. But what's
just amazing is to get this nice long stretch of
fall weather.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
Like it's a little chili right now out there.

Speaker 19 (11:50):
But it'll be a slightly warmer day today, temperatures upper
sixties to low seventies, still cool tonight, back down into
the mid forties to mid fifties tonight and tomorrow in
the load of mid seventy, so that's where the temperatures
will be mid to late afternoon. And then if you're
heading out to trick or treat, I bet for the

(12:10):
most part, temperatures will be in the sixty so it'll
be comfortable for the costumes. Now, we do have a
thirty percent chance of afternoon thundershower. Saturday, Sunday and Monday
are dry through the weekend and into Monday, temperatures will
top out in the load of mid seventy. So really
is a beautiful stretch of.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Fall temperature right now fifty one at your official severe
weather station, News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 20 (12:35):
I live in Conrad, I live in deer Park.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Next on the ten, you're a reliable forecast on seven
forty KTRH. You know, I love starting my day with
little wisdom, and there's no better wisdom to get than
that of Senator corn Fiuchius Is I like to call
them Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana. He says the reason
why the government shutdown he's going on is because democrats

(12:58):
are mad, and this is how they're expressing their angers.
So we'll have more on democrat anger in the wisdom
of Senator John Kennedy coming up next. First, though, traffic
and weather together is starting with you SKYMIKEE. Now we
got a miny. See this is not even trouble in
the canyon, Jimmy.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
This is two eighty eight northbound at I sixteen ninety's
moved over. Now we've got fourteen lanes. It's hard to
keep up with which one goes where. But this is
too idiot northbound right at the merge. It's kind of
a sticky spot on the right side if they take
that right lane.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
For now, we're getting by just fine.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Oh while we're here, I'm going to go fast, but
I do want to look into the crystal slinky here
for the future.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
And that's next week. Is it going to be the seventh?

Speaker 4 (13:36):
They're going to take out one of our three little
skinny lanes on the Katie Freeway road work leaving downtown.

Team so this is from a show Called. Doggyland Doggy,
LAND i guess the characters are all, dogs you know
it's an animated. Thing in the, show The Halloween, show
all the dogs are dressed up in, costumes right because
the direct, well your dog can't talk, either, right you

(26:30):
know they're treating them by human beings in the real,
world the world in which most of us operate at
least a few days out of the. Week do you
think your pets likes dressing up For halloween or is
it more about you like seeing your pet dressed up For.
HALLOWEEN a new poll found that one in Six americans

(26:51):
are delusional when it comes to what our pets think Of.
Halloween sixteen percent one out of every six of us
think pets actually enjoy dressing up For. HALLOWEEN a full
forty think they either like it or at least they don't.
Mind the bole did not distinguish between cats and, dogs
but obviously dogs are more receptive to dressing up For.

(27:14):
Halloween the reason why dogs are more receptive is they
actually care about. You they actually want to make you.
Happy so if your dog seems to be excited to
be putting on A halloween, costume he's more excited about
the attention you're paying to him and telling him how
cute he is or what a good boy is for you,

(27:34):
know sitting still while you put The halloween costume on,
Him he has no. Preference he might not mind it
too much other than the fact mainly because unless you
have a full length, mirror he can't see how how
ridiculous he. Looks and he doesn't care either because, he,
again he just wants to make you. Happy, cats on

(27:55):
the other, hand you ever tried to put put anything
clothing wise on a. Cat it's like wrestling with a.
Tiger what's the point of you've been trying? That cats
don't care the least bit about pleasing. Us they Are
they are pretty self centered when it comes right down to.
It you, know they care about you pleasing, them not
about them pleasing. You by the, way the younger you,

(28:17):

pet should be dressed up For. Halloween just eighteen percent

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Ktrh all, right we're a month into this and so
far w's. Blinking but now that the snap benefits are
on the, line and we're getting more and more problems
day by, day or nation's airports from air traffic controllers
who are calling in, sick and we're having all these
canceled and or delayed. Flights i'm sure the pressure is

(33:14):
going to get even heavier than what it is right.
Now BUT i think it's. Rich The California Governor Gavin
newsom is invoking biblical teachings to Criticize republicans for the
government shutdown of talking about the impact on food. Assistants
that's on. Them i'm, sorry that's on. Them james Quin
terrell JOINS us policy director of The Texas Public Policy.

(33:35):
FOUNDATION i know that a lot of These democrats don't
Think americans are blaming them for the, shutdown but the
polling data tells us something.

Speaker 34 (33:42):
Different, YEAH i think the good, Morning, jimmy and, YEAH
i think you're. Right the polling data very much bends
against The democrats in this. Instance most people recognize that
The schumer shutdown is at the feet Of Senate democrats
who have voted against reopening the government on more than

(34:02):
a dozen occasions, now and because they've done, that a
lot Of americans and a lot of people are getting
ready to see their food stamp assistance begin to turn
off On. Saturday. Now states some states are saying that
they're going to step up and use state funding to

(34:22):
maybe close the gap a little, bit but without federal,
aid a lot of these programs are in danger. Now
from there's really two problems, HERE i think from my vantage,
point one is the policy, problem and that really gets
into who's receiving these food stamps and. Why but there's

(34:44):
also a cultural crisis that this brings to. Light and
WHAT i mean is that what you're seeing throughout is
really this sense of entitlement from, people and there's some
really troubling threats of violence that are beginning to emerge

(35:05):
from people saying that you, know, what if and when
these food stamps go, away we're going to just march
into stores and take what we want because we're entitled
to these. Things and SO i think there's really two
big problems to emerge from From Senate democrats refusal to
reopen the.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Government you, Know i've been kind of wondering out loud
all this, Week James, guintero whether or not this is
an opportunity For republicans to really get tough on reform
when it comes to these government. Agencies there are forty
two Million, americans over forty two Million americans who are
on the food stamp program that are getting snap. Benefits

(35:43):
it seems to me that this is the perfect opportunity
to tighten that. Up you can't tell me that there
are forty two million people in this country that need
to have these benefits in order to be able to
feed their. Families, yeah you're.

Speaker 34 (35:55):
Right you, know there are forty two million people receiving
food stamp benefit. Fits it's unclear to me exactly how
many non citizens are included in that, figure but some
of the latest data we have suggests that they're at
least one point five million non citizens who receive food

(36:15):
stamp assistance in twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Two why why do we allow why do we allow
non citizens to get food? Stamps how is? That how
did that become a benefit for people who are not
citizens of this. Country they may be here, legally but
they're not a.

Speaker 34 (36:26):
Citizen, yeah it's because we've allowed our welfare programs to
expand far beyond what they were intended. For and then
we have some progressive activists In congress who've then expanded
the reach of those programs to everyone and. Anyone and you,

(36:47):
KNOW i mean it's with Today's, democrats it's not hard
to see how that how these programs have gotten so
far out of. Control these are the very same people
who want to single payer health care provided to everyone
and anyone in our.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
Country and, so you, know we have.

Speaker 34 (37:06):
To revisit, this these programs in full and really do
a comprehensive analysis of who's getting the benefits and.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Why by the, way those those one point five.

Speaker 34 (37:17):
Million non citizens Cost american taxpayers four point two billion
dollars again in twenty twenty. Two so this is you,
know this is substantial aid that's being taken away from
The american.

Speaker 33 (37:28):
People.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Yeah, well LIKE i, said this would be seems to
me to be a great. Opportunity The democrats seem to
think they have. Leverage what about the Leverage republicans potentially
have for changing some of these. Programs.

Speaker 34 (37:41):
Yeah you, know one of the things that's really disheartening
about this whole thing Is republicans control almost all the
leavers of power in the federal, government and yet we
still cannot get welfare spending under. Control and it's taken
a government shut down to really empower the truck administration
in a unique way to finally put the brakes on

(38:04):
a lot of this. Spending, so you, Know i'm not
it's not entirely encouraging that this is the way we
have to go about attacking the. Problem but here we,
are and so you, know perhaps there there is some
silver lining to the government, shutdown which is we get
to call attention to all of this, waste fraudm, abuse

(38:26):

Speaker 3 (45:04):
R eh, you know the ONLY thing i understood in
that whole thing was, six seven and that is the
word of. The Year, hang on isn't that? A number?
Two numbers six. TO seven i guess you can interpret
it as, a WORD but i think of it as.

(45:26):
A number so what IN the hbl hockey sticks is that?
All about the REASON why i made the word of
the year for dictionary dot com is the amount of searches,
for it amount of people looking. It up searches for
six seven experience of dramatic rise beginning the summer of twenty.

(45:49):
Twenty five that that that song it. Is played that's
the origin of. Six seven i'll get to the meaning in.
A second but searches for six seven experienced to dramatic
it's beginning. This Summer, since june the searches have increased more.
Than sixfold, so far the search shows no signs. Of
stopping most other two digit numbers had no meaningful trend over,

(46:10):
that period implying that there's something special about. Sixt' seven
the origin of six' seven IS the song, i just
played dute Six. Seven by scrilla, it means basically, by
the way it's never, pronounces sixty seven it's only pronounced as.
Six to seven, it, basically means. Well it's complicated some

(46:34):
say it means so so some, say maybe, this maybe
that especially if you pair it with. A hand gesture.
This SOUNDS complicated, like I said if i were to
listen to that entire, SKILL a song i would have
to get an interpreter in here to. Figure it out
so who's who's responsible for this being the word Of

(46:56):
The yearth generation alpha people born between twenty ten and,
Twenty twenty four the first generation born entirely within the,
twenty first century characterized as being, highly, technologically integrated. Diverse
and adaptable from, a young age they grew up with a.
Constant digital access they also had their formative years, during

(47:19):

Year In Jail on NEWS. Radio seven, ktrh you know
one of the interpretations, of this song it's not, about
shocking monkeys, literally shocking monkeys but there's a. Lot of
interpretations one of the interpretations was that it was about
the pain caused by high interest Rates Implemented by paul
volker back in the day. To FIGHT inflation so i,

(52:28):
guess we've, had you know not really high interest rates from,
a historical perspective but certainly we've had higher interest rates
than we have. Grown used To now the fed is
cutting those rates again. Quarter point yesterday join us to
Talk About is preston busher's research Fell At. The heritage,
Foundation Of course president trump doesn't think. It was enough
do you think? It was enough.

Speaker 26 (52:50):
It SEEMS like the fed has been taking a. MEASURED
approach HERE i think i think the twenty five basis
points was in line with what. Most people expected there.
Was there was out of the twelve votes or, the
twelve governors ten were looking for the twenty. Five basis
points one wanted to keep it flat and one wanted
to go. Fifty basis points so there, WAS nothing unexpected

(53:11):
i would say in terms of what happened, at this
meeting if there, was anything unexpected it was really about
what was going to happen at, the, Next.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Meeting right and it kind of the signal at least
the interpretation of the signal is that that may have
been the last cut. For the year do you think?
THAT'S the case.

Speaker 26 (53:26):
I lean towards there is still being one, more rate
cut whether it's this next this Next, meeting in december
or the first one or, the next YEAR and probably
i Think. Still in december but it did Definitely Seem
like jay powell was trying to give himself the leeway
and then he was seeing that there seemed to be

(53:46):
a presumption that everyone thought that there was going to
be at least one more Rate, cut in december and
he kept saying over and over again that was not.
A foregone conclusion at one point said he said it
was far. Or from it so he was definitely giving
himself a little. Bit of leeway and then the markets
did notice that and they dropped with it off after he.

(54:08):
MADE those Statements I.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Think president trump refers to Him now as Drome too
late powell because he thinks he's always behind the. Curve
on this do you think that's. A legitimate criticism.

Speaker 26 (54:18):
I would say it's a legitimate about some, of his
past certainly in terms of when he WAS in the
fed Chair during, the biden years he started tightening way
too late in terms of allowing the inflation to get
out of control in. The first place so there has
been A track record i, think of that AND right

(54:40):
now i think, it's you know, IT'S a QUESTION i
don't i don't think we're way off though some of
these other decisions that it's felt like it's been. Way
late here it looks like, we're you know YOU can
argue i think about twenty five basis points. HERE or
there i think there's reasonable people, that can disagree but
we're getting a lot closer to kind of that neutral
range where most of the people would think somewhere in

(55:02):
the three to four percent is a pretty neutral place
to be. For interest rates.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
There's no direct correlation right between mortgage RATES and. The
fed rate it's tied. To other things treasury bonds. Comes
to mind but we have seen mortgage. RATES going down
i think we're about the lows that we've been in
at least a year. And a half do you sense
any trend of where we're, going with that, because you
know JUST about everybody i talked to seems, to think,

(55:26):
that you know five five and a half percent mortgage
rate is a magic number to get the housing. Market,
moving again.

Speaker 26 (55:34):
Yeah it's a pretty. Weak relationship there you've seen rake
cuts before and it doesn't really move. THE mortgage rates
i don't have a great. Feel for THAT one thing
i will say that it came out, of, this meeting
THOUGH is the fed did say That or j palace
did Say that the fed was going to kind of
unload some of these mortgage backed securities that, They were

(55:55):
holding so that could could have some impact potentially a
little bit softed demand for housing, because of that a
little bit less of this kind of artificial subsidization of
the housing market COMING.

From the, us, men oh no wait they don't. Come
from there either we. Aren't, making them anymore therefore we
are told we. Have A penny shortage and i was
wondering how long before we were going to start, to
see this happen the rounding up or rounding down to

(01:04:20):
the nearest nickel because stores claim. They don't have. Pennies
here's the, report by the way we're starting. To see
it locally One. GUY went to kroger i have Not looked.
At my kroger bill what do you think wouldn't it
make sense if you were going to start rounding. Up

(01:04:40):
and rounding down don't you think you owe it to
the consumer to put a sign. Up in the store.
That's what you're doing HERE'S the report from kprc, To Our.
Television partners amy davis we.

Speaker 42 (01:04:51):
Know that, every penny adds up so we wanted to check.
This out For You if you er steven sent His
receipt From the. Kroger off highway six you can see
at the bottom it says penny rounding and it added two,
cents in this case giving two extra.

Speaker 20 (01:05:05):
Sense to the customer.

Speaker 42 (01:05:08):
Tugler is rounding to the nearest nickel because of a
nationwide shortage of. Pennies at some, Stores Earlier this year
PRESIDENT Trump Ordered the us treasury department to stop making
pennies because it costs nearly four cents to.

Speaker 20 (01:05:20):
Make just One.

Speaker 42 (01:05:21):
Penny we asked kroger if it will always be rounding.
IN the customer's favor a spokesperson sent. Us this vague
statement we continue to assess THE Impact of the us
treasury's decision. To end penny production if, using cash for
payment we kindly ask customers to. Consider providing exact change
kroger will continue to, Accept Pennies for payment.

Speaker 20 (01:05:43):
So kroger isn't ready to put.

Speaker 42 (01:05:44):
Any Details In Writing The retail industry leaders association says
retailers across the country are trying to figure out how
to adjust to this change and, the shortage of pennies which.
Has happened very Quickly they're advocating for congress and the
administration to provide guidance to.

Speaker 20 (01:06:01):
How rounding should work another.

Speaker 42 (01:06:03):
THING to look for a congress dot gov post about
penny production says even though most transactions are electronic now with,
debit and credit cards merchants may still do penny rounding.

Speaker 33 (01:06:13):
To.

Speaker 20 (01:06:13):
Keep, pricing consistent yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
In other, words for some retailers it might not matter
that you're using a debit card or charge a charge
card to. Pay for your purchase there can treat, all
purchases like cash rounding up or rounding down on. Each
and every purchase i'm going to suggest this because it
just based on The vague Statement From kroger that, AMY
davis just dead i would be looking at my bill

(01:06:41):
rather closely every time. You get your receipt may want
to double check your receipt and see if you're being rounded.
Up or, ROUNDED down and again i think retailers should
put a little sign up so that you. Know what to.
Expect nobody likes surprises sake forty time for. Traffic and, Weather,

right now by partisan lawmakers are starting to evaluate when.
The shutdown might end it Is thought that mid november could,
be an inflection point especially as federal paychecks dry up and.

dot com. It's, called, SIX seven huh yeah i know it's,

(01:22:04):
it's from a, SONG and, six seven i guess is
roughly the equivalent of so so though it sounds to
me more like a what, was the will, say six
of one half a dozen of another. Kind of a
thing maybe that's what six seven is now kind of a.

(01:22:24):
Shortened version of That It's, used by generation alpha so
if you're, not familiar with. It don't feel bad it's
used by kids that were basically born. In the, two thousands,

On fire no everything you never know what's Going To
happen WITH. Youth radio, seven, kgrh.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
All right well that sounds like a, Kind of, nice
panhandler but honestly do you want panhandlers Hanging Out? IN
unincorporated harris county i mean they're showing up in more
and more corner. SEEMINGLY all the time i assume that's
why Today's The Day That harris county commissioner's court is
going to consider. An Ordinance, on Panhandling Tom Ramsey our Harris,
county precinct, three commissioner my commissioner checks in. With us

(01:29:37):
this morning so, what is the uh what's the gist
of the panhandling ordinance? You all are, Considering, the.

Speaker 9 (01:29:43):
State legislature jammie last session, gave us The Right the
unincorporated harris county for since right. To pass an ordinance
we don't really have ordnance making capabilities, for the most
part but in this case we were allowed to create
an ordinance. TO deal with penhandling i think Panhandling is

(01:30:05):
an issue i'll start first with it's not safe for
the people that are out. There at the intersections i've
seen intersections where little children we're out there, with their mother.
Soliciting asking for help we're sensitive to. The needs of
people you just should not be standing in the middle of.

(01:30:25):
The intersection doing it so that's going to be the
priority within that ordinance is to focus on the people
that are at risk, fanding in those intersections and of
course it's a major distraction to drivers who are trying
to get. Through and to work so that's that's really

(01:30:46):
the bottom line is let's get the folks, out of
these intersections out. Of these unsafe areas there's a there's
just no good reason for someone to stand in the
middle of a busy intersection.

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
And ask for money is penmandling defined specifically as begging
for money or can? It cover, other THINGS for example
where i Am Right, OFF of gosling road i see
a lot of people that are there by the, ground parkway,
selling flowers you know walking up the cars? Offering flowers
for sale is that this is that also considered? Panandling

(01:31:19):
the same thing.

Speaker 9 (01:31:22):
Okay thing in terms of what this. Ordinance would would
cover And again we're not we're not trying to. Put
people in jail we're trying to get them out of.
A VERY unsafe condition.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
Now i understand that there Are reports that the democrats
are going to try to sneak in pay equity? Today
in what form what is it? They're attempting to do.

Speaker 9 (01:31:45):
They have been talking about pay EQUITY and you and
i could probably uh define that term, in many different
ways but they they they their premise is that people
are doing the same job and not Getting paid the
Same so they hired they spent one point five million

(01:32:06):
dollars over the last. Year with a consultant the Consultant
has come back jimmy with seven hundred and fifty eight
job classifications that they say they know exactly the, value
of that job they know exactly how you can determine
who's getting fairly. PAID and who isn't i just. Don't

(01:32:27):
think it's fair and the other problem with their pay
equity study they did not even. Take into account benefits that's,
the number one people number one reason people Go To
work in harris. County is the, benefits and, these people
these consultants did not even. Take that into account so it's.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
AGAIN a go ahead, i was gonna say here's my
problem with the pay equity study. Of five, million dollars
come on how much does it cost to study something?
Like that, billion dollars good lord.

Speaker 9 (01:33:02):
It's one point there's one. Point, five million dollars again.
They're gonna be paid they're gonna be paid more and
more every every year. To administer the program so on
the on the gend of today is a proposal to
pay folks that make less than, Seventy five thousand dollars

(01:33:24):
we're going to to budget forty seven million dollars To
be spent on.

Speaker 8 (01:33:32):
They.

Speaker 9 (01:33:32):
SAY pay equity listen i trust our supervisors, to evaluate
their people make decisions or. What people should make it's
not like we have. PEOPLE leaving the County i can't
get i've got positions. Open in the county so it is.
It's really a scheme i'll, USE that word. Scheme i

(01:33:54):

Speaker 3 (01:50:38):
Yeah it's gonna be an interesting week ahead here with,
their traffic, control AND food. STAMPS you know the snap
benefits i think it's gonna Be very interesting to see
how democrats handle the pressure that's going to. Come from
those two different things most OF us, are impacted by
the snap thing but many of. Us are by ear

(01:51:00):
traffic control if you have a trip planned anytime between now,
AND the, end of the Year i Mean can you
imagine thanksgiving and christmas with air traffic control. Problems And
Flights canceled and Delayed But chuck schumer and aw Keem
jefferys still trying to blame trump for this here they
are doing that In Some reaction To. That from dana

(01:51:21):
perino on Saturday for.

Speaker 43 (01:51:22):
The first, time in american history a vicious heartless.

Speaker 5 (01:51:27):
President is cutting off food.

Speaker 43 (01:51:28):
Stamps this president is a liar he says there's no
money to Provide Food Stamps because of the shutdown's.

Speaker 6 (01:51:36):
Donald trump is trying to Weaponize Hunger.

Speaker 5 (01:51:39):
To pressure people on capitol.

Speaker 2 (01:51:42):
Hill the dams are banking on republicans getting the.

Speaker 44 (01:51:46):
Blame if food banks start overflowing but CNN's.

Speaker 5 (01:51:49):
Data Guru says not so.

Speaker 52 (01:51:50):
Fast republican congress is. Net approval rating versus, pre shutdown.
It's rallying the, base for sure look at this the
net approval rating. Up twelve points versus pre shutdown but,
it's not just with the base it's also. With the
middle of the, electorate look at this among independents. It's
up eight points as well so We've got a situation
here where republicans with this. Shutdown are actually rallying their
base but it's also something that's not hurting them with,

(01:52:13):
the folks in the middle anything it's helping.

Speaker 5 (01:52:14):
THEM with folks In the middle i think the.

Speaker 39 (01:52:16):
Republicans Have a very simple message, the Democrats shut down
the government. The democrats could reopen. The GOVERNMENT that's the
bottom line so i think it was a little jarring
this morning To realize that one in eight americans are still.
Needing the supplemental nutritional SUB supplement now that, is something
i think post shutdown maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:52:38):
We should all talk about it.

Speaker 2 (01:52:39):
You, should look into who's getting them what proportion.

Speaker 5 (01:52:42):
Of the party they belong.

Speaker 39 (01:52:44):
To also the, people that are that, are, desperate that
do need it yeah versus those films got away, Like
with a more? Economic GROWTH like where's that plan so
i do think The, polling shows that It's, hurting democrats
is actually hurting schumer and his.

Speaker 5 (01:52:58):
Pulling.

Speaker 39 (01:52:59):
Numbers were low to begin with it's Sort, Of ironic
too That the democrats i'll say that trump, is a want,
to be dictator he's a fascist and they say that.
He needs to share no kings but yet now they're
saying he's the only. One that could reopen the government.
They could actually reopen the. Government They could do it
tomorrow senator thune HAD that was the most.

Speaker 39 (01:53:25):
They want to do thirteen times there was, a senator
on Today that said, don't LET the democrats vote piecemeal
