Speaker 1 (32:59):
Ktrh we should also.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Say, accountability because that's what the eight ref grades we're
supposed to all be. About you, know is your school
system performing at a adequate? Level is it improving over
the course of. Time they've been doing it since twenty. Eighteen,
now all of a, sudden we had all these lawsuits
filed to prevent the release of the twenty twenty two
twenty twenty three. Numbers Aaron anderson joins. Us she's a

(33:22):
reporter with The Texas. Scorecard, aaron welcome to our. SHOW
i know that the grades are also out for the
twenty twenty three twenty four school, Years so why haven't
we seen those? Yet, well good, morning thanks for having me.

Speaker 25 (33:38):
On the appeals court ruled the lawsuit by school.

Speaker 27 (33:44):
Districts it was.

Speaker 34 (33:49):
Not.

Speaker 25 (33:49):
Good they have ruled in the lawsuit for the twenty
twenty three school year ratings that does can now be.
Released they have not. Yet let me, SAY i checked
again this. Morning Texas Education, agency which over sees our,
schools has not yet released, that but they. Can there's
a separate lawsuit for the twenty twenty four school year

(34:12):
that has not yet been, resolved so those numbers are not.
Out but we actually have not had these report cards
come out in a complete fashion for years because they
were withheld for two years because OF. Covid they suspended
the ratings altogether for two. Years then they came back

(34:33):
in a limited, fashion and then we had the small
suit because THE tea for their rules updated that we're
going to calculate those grades basically AN a THROUGH f,
grade but every, school campus and DISTRICT d and as she,
said it's to give give, families give taxpayers an idea

(34:58):
how well these districts are. Performing so we really haven't
had this data for quite some. Time the districts didn't
want it released because they said it was they had they,
didn't they didn't weren't made aware of the changes in,
time and they were going to unfairly get grades that
they thought were going to be lower than they should,
be so they didn't want that out.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
There so they knew that the news was not going
to be, good and they did not want the taxpayers
to know about. That and ironically they fought all this
by using taxpayer money to. Sue, well that's absolutely right they.

Speaker 25 (35:30):
Did so it was more than one hundred school districts
ended up in that twenty twenty three, lawsuit.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
And, interestingly the appeals.

Speaker 25 (35:38):
Court, said not only the need to me these, ratings
but the districts are now we're now on the hook.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
To pay all the costs of the.

Speaker 25 (35:47):
Appeal and as you, mentioned these school districts are taxpayer,
funded so that really needs that really puts the taxpayers
on the. Hook, yeah either way we, pay can at
least to see the ratings that we're paying.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
For, aaron can you name just a couple of the
school districts so that we're involved in that, lawsuit because
that to me would be a red, flag that would
be an alarm that they have they in, particular had
something they wanted to.

Speaker 25 (36:12):
Hide, well you, know it was more than a, hundred
so they all had something to.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Hide well that.

Speaker 25 (36:21):
That's that's there's about twelve hundred, districts so at percentage,
wise it wasn't all of, them but right atop A,
id we've got small Ones we've got large ones up
here WHERE i. Live it's also A KINNEY i S,
d Fort worth IS, Sd frisco IS, sd So Mule

(36:43):
SHOE i S. D so you had some of the
some of the largest and the smallest districts all going
in on this lawsuit to keep this information hidden from
the public even though we are paying for.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
It so this this information has now been, released As zach.
Correct and if, so how do how do our listeners
find this information if they want to look up their
own school system to see what kind of grade they.

Speaker 25 (37:05):
Got, well THE tea actually has a great website where
they present this information in a in a really nice.
Format it just hasn't been updated four. Years LIKE i,
SAID i did just. Check it's Called it's T X.
Schools is the, website and, uh it's the information is
all laid out. THERE i know they've got the. Data

(37:27):
they did calculate these, Numbers So i'm not sure what
the hold up is in just sort of hitting the
hitting the published button on all that. Data But i'm
EXPECTING tea to send out a notification and of Course
scorecard will be covering that when when we do in
fact have that data and we'll. See, uh we'll see

(37:47):
what it looks.

yeah that kind of feels like walls ree right now
six twenty three s times we HAVE ktrh Moneyman Pat
shin on the. LINE i, See i'm just, curious, sir
how has the last forty eight hours been for you
and your? World? Good you know?

Speaker 33 (53:24):
Good So i've done this for over thirty, Years, Jimmy
we've certainly seen lots of ups and, downs but you.
Know certainly over the WEEKEND i did a lot of
work just kind of studying the you know, what what
should we talk? About do we want to talk about
how we got? Here we want to talk a little
bit about what.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
HAPPENED i think we want to talk about where we're.
Going we know how we got here with the whole
tariff thing and how you, know there's a bit of
a mini panic going, on and then yesterday we knew
that he he basically froze the tarffs on everybody But
china for for ninety, days and the stock market had
its biggest day in. History so where are we going
after all? That, okay so great. Questions so regular listeners

(54:01):
on K th they Know i've done this for a
very long. TIME i do five updates during the, Day,
Jimmy i'm on at, ten, eleven, three, four and, Five
and normally What i'll, do and of COURSE i KNOW
i follow the markets all day every, day BUT i
figure out What i'm going to say BEFORE i come,

(54:23):
on maybe five or ten minutes. Before i'll think in
my head What i'm going to. Say and you would
not believe over the last, week how WHAT i Think
i'm going to say and WHAT i end up saying
are not the. Same things can Change jimmy in even ten.
Minutes so the first thing to talk about is.

Speaker 33 (54:45):
Volatility so back WHEN i did My saturday night radio,
SHOW i used to use the analogy if you're flying
on an airplane and you're going over the, ocean and
you're at thirty thousand feet and you look, down that
ocean is move as, glass but yet you see a
little speck down, there and that's a. Ship and if

(55:05):
you're on that, ship you're getting bounced. Around and that's
the stock market on a daily, Basis whereas if you're
up in the plane and you're watching that ocean from
thirty thousand, feet that's the stock market on a longer term.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Basis so first.

Speaker 33 (55:22):
Off for people that sit and watch the stock channel
all day and just in their minds, say oh my,
GOSH i just lost this, amount they haven't sold, ANYTHING
i haven't lost, this Or i've made, this you're going
to drive yourself absolutely crazy BECAUSE i can't even figure
out what the market sometimes is going to do in

(55:43):
the next five or ten. Minutes so first, off it's
okay to look if you want to go, online look
at your, stuff look at the. Value as we've always
said on, here it's okay to, look don't. Stare and
then the thing is have a little bit longer time
and then just what happens between now and the closing.

(56:04):
Bill there's a lot of. Uncertainty i've spent hours studying.
This the main, Thing, jimmy that became a parent over
the weekend is That congress is going to need some
tariff money to offset the tax. Cuts the tax, cuts
the twenty seventeen, cuts we all know they expire at
the end of this. Year President trump wants also to

(56:26):
do no tax on, tips no tax On Social. SECURITY
i think no tax on overtime as a, stretch but
there's a lot of things that he wants to do
and he needs an. Offset and so it became clear
over the weekend for the very first. Time now there's
been hints of, this but The White house has come
out and said that's where this offset is.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Going to come. From so we're going to get.

Speaker 33 (56:50):
Tariffs this idea that floated Last friday when the head
Of vietnam, said, hey we won't tear if you if
you don't teariff Us Mike, Lee Senator Mike lee, tweeted,
oh great. Deal we need to take. That that is
not going to. Happen we need the income from tariffs to,
offset so there's going to be some.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Tariffs and For, yeah we're running out of. Time, PAT
i hate to cotch t. Off but the other, thing
AND i think the key word that you said is.
Volatility we need to be prepared for volatility for fairly
long period of. Time don't you think absolutely this is
going to.

Speaker 33 (57:24):
Continue this is not a v this is not a
we bounce back this week and you're back to where you.
Were one, Thing Warren. Buffett markets hate, uncertainty and yet
uncertainty is a long term investor's best. Friend it's okay
to look don't, stare got, It thank you.

Is our time. Here In houston's MORNING News luke basias.
JOINS us texas political consultant i, guess let's start with
this will you The Least bit surprised that ken Paxton

(01:31:09):
Decided to take ON John cornyn. For, the us senate Race.

Speaker 39 (01:31:14):
Well it's something that general paxson has been hinting at.
FOR the last SEVERAL years i Mean Even i remember
the republicans state conventioned two, and a half years ago
he was hinting on The Stage about.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
Running against john. Courted in twenty twenty six so, That
was before the impeachment.

Speaker 39 (01:31:29):
That was before anything happens so it's definitely something that
he's been considering an eyeing as he looked at his
future and At the. Twenty TWENTY six republican primary so
i don't think there were a lot of people surprised
that he ultimately pulled the trigger after kind of hinting
at it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
For the last two years does that tell You That
he thinks that john cornyn? Is very, Vulnerable right now.

Speaker 39 (01:31:49):
He does and every single poll that's, been, released by
any polster independent or campaign, have said that as well
and have said that the polling that Has out has.
Shown That Cornyan is vulnerable and ken paxton is probably
at his most popular point at any. Point, in his political,
career yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
And he's well he's proven one thing as he can
he can take on old comers and generally comes, out
on top of Yes and.

Speaker 39 (01:32:15):
The people of texas have seen, that time and time
again and it's one reason.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
That's led to his popularity and Of Course the beef
of john cornyn, is that he's a rhino that, he's
wishy washy at Best That. He doesn't support president trump
that doesn't go over real well in conservative at The
Least of The conservative republican party. Of texas, At This boy.

Speaker 39 (01:32:33):
You know senator cornyn in the last couple of months
has been probably the most Cooperative He's, ever been with
donald trump.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
Which people tend to do as they get closer and closer.

Speaker 39 (01:32:42):
To their re Election time, So in this trump administration
cornyn has been Much more. Agreeable TO the trump agenda
but i Do think a lot of publicans remember how
He Was during the first Trump agenda and the first
trump administration and are concerned.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
That after a reelection. HE could revert to that i
want to, get, Your, thoughts ON this look maseus Because
i remember The Last senate race with john, cornyn and
his television ads and in his television ads he Never.
Identified himself as A republican there was no republican sign signed.
Each next to His Name. He was just john cornyn
He didn't run, as a republican, per se and as advertising,
He ran as you, know i'm just YOU know this

(01:33:20):
is who i am not There's not necessarily. A party
i'm affiliated with do you think he was doing that
because he was trying To Get. Away from the republican
party he thought it was bad for, him based on
You know the north northern texas and. Some of those
other areas why? DID he do that well i Have
Plenty of criticisms of.

Speaker 39 (01:33:40):
JOHN corn in the past i don't think that in
particular was something that was nefarious because he often does
try to, appeal to the suburban voters The Independent suburban
Voters And Williamson county And Fort, Bend County, and collin
county denton county and.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
Has always done historically.

Speaker 39 (01:33:56):
Well in the general election he didn't have a contested,
primary worth anything last time and so his campaign from
day one was already focused on the general and making
sure that he had as. Wide a, margin as, POSSIBLE
so that in particular i don't think IS one that
is as i would be, As, critical as other things.

Speaker 2 (01:34:14):
OKAY and among the things, I think are most concerning
i Guess for, a lot of texas voters what is
the attorney general's race Going To. Look, like without ken
baxton well.

Speaker 39 (01:34:27):
We've, had the, same attorney general lieutenant governor and governor,
for the last, Twelve Years Where right Now Lieutenant governor
patrick and governor abbott have hinted that they, Plan on
running for reelections so we're about to have the same
governor lieutenant governor for a, sixteen YEAR period of time
which i can't Find a period in modern texas history where.
That has been the case and it would have been
interesting if he had. Run for reelections attorney general so

(01:34:47):
this now opens up a seat that's. Been taken for
twelve years you have Multiple Talented attorneys in the Texas
House and in the. Texas Senate That, are Considerant CHAIRMAN matt,
rinaldi former texas gf chair has. Said That, he's considering
it JOHN bash who Is A, us attorney under. Donald
trump just announced yesterday he's Also Done legal work for
elon musk and he, is running for. Attorney general just

(01:35:10):
announced yesterday so my anticipation is that there Are three to,
four QUALIFIED republicans that run and i think what voters
will be asking is are you going To Continue the
legacy of ken paxton and are you going to be
on The Conservative side of the republican party because no
One is interested in replacing ken with somebody that represents
the more moderate BUSINESS.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):

Yep speaking, to People Out on, bond maryor john whitmyer
says currently there are nine hundred people got, let me repeat,
that number, nine one hundred not nine not ninety nine
hundred people charged with murder who Are. Free on bond
in houston the two Hundred and forty eighth dist record

(01:43:49):
has been the subject of repeated criticism for releasing, people
charged with, violent crimes including capital murder back. Into the
community on bond there are moremultiple people have been murdered
by people who are out. On bond from this Court According,
to council member fred flickinger of course we talk, about
this all the, time and nothing has changed and these

(01:44:10):
judges are not the least bit concerned evidently about whether
or not they're going to be able to be re elected.
At some point in time help most people don't pay
they attention to who. They're, voting for for judge still
even though. This CONTINUES to go on so i guess
the question becomes what needs to happen in order. To
turn this situation around there needs to be a revolt

(01:44:34):
of people who Live, in THE city of houston and
i think in, the city suburbs, as well because you
know just because they're in the city where they, may
have committed that crime doesn't mean that they couldn't come
out to the suburbs. And commit, the Same, crime you
know it's houston even if you don't live within the Confines,
of the city of houston. It's all, of our city
of course this is. Happening all around the country this.

(01:44:55):
Insanity has got to stop did You See what's happening?
In new mexico right now Crime. Is so bad in
Albuquerque i've never thought of albuquerque as, having a huge
crime problem but it's gotten So bad evidently That The
democrat Governor of new mexico announced Tuesday That She's Authorizing

(01:45:19):
the new mexico national guard To Go To support the
albuquerque police department just because the crime and the fetanyl.
Problems there are so bad and who can we thank
for the. Fetanyl problems being So Bad we, know where
new mexico is we. Know what's on the border on
border states have had huge problems with ventanyl and, huge

(01:45:39):
problems with violent crime and so bad now and there
That They're. Sending in the national guard i'm not sure
what the Law Says about what the national guard can do.
As Far as apprehending criminals so i'm sure they're very
limited as far as what kind. Of support they can
give but that tells you a lot about how bad
it is seven forty time for traffic and whether together
you Know. About the Crime In albuquerque. That's, where walter

yesterday being asked about that and basically what he's going
To tell you is that china doesn't. Really know how
to negotiate.

Speaker 1 (01:51:42):
China, wants to make a deal they just don't know how.

Speaker 2 (01:51:44):
Quite to, go about it you know it's one of
those things that don't know Quite the proud people and.

Speaker 7 (01:51:51):
PRESIDENT she's a proud man, i know him very well
and they don't know quite. How to go about it
but they'll figure it out in.

Speaker 8 (01:51:57):
The process of figuring out but they.

Speaker 2 (01:51:59):
WANT to make a deal i think it's.

Speaker 8 (01:52:00):
GOING to work out amazing i think that our country.

Speaker 7 (01:52:02):
Is going to be at the end, of A year
or shorter but i think we're going to have something that.

Speaker 1 (01:52:07):
Nobody WOULD have dreamt possible.

Speaker 20 (01:52:10):
As i was looking at my usual chart of, all
THE reciprocal tariff charges which, i think are too, high, you,
Said IT worked.

Speaker 1 (01:52:17):
Yeah yes and i don't.

Speaker 40 (01:52:18):
Think those numbers ever mattered and so all the media
that was focusing on the formula and What Were they,
thinking and peter navarro's crazy there was.

Speaker 28 (01:52:26):
A method to their madness trump.

Speaker 40 (01:52:27):
Never cared about those numbers he put them in place
to get, people to the negotiating table and he. Got,
exactly WHAT he wanted larry and i think his sort
of evil genius is playing. Out in THIS whole process
you and i have talked about why didn't he do
the bill.

Speaker 2 (01:52:41):
FIRST and then the tariffs i.

Speaker 40 (01:52:43):
Think he had to do the tariffs first to cause
a little bit of the Chaos.

Speaker 2 (01:52:46):
That would then force.

Speaker 40 (01:52:47):
Congress, To Do, the bill.

Speaker 20 (01:52:49):
Well john carney you said all along that, it was
going to work. Including these, reciprocal tariff charges you know
even though. The calculations blah blah, blah you've said all.
Along it's going to work. This is the next step
are you? Okay, WITH this.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Next. Step yes i pause.

Speaker 41 (01:53:04):
Absolutely look what the whole point was to get people to.

Speaker 2 (01:53:07):
Negotiate away their trade barriers but.

Speaker 41 (01:53:10):
The world should Not Look at This as donald trump.
Saying i'm not doing tariffs if they do, not lower
their trade barriers.

Speaker 2 (01:53:18):
THE tariffs are coming back i look at This As
kind Of A holy.
