Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 7 (01:25):
Good morning everyone.

Speaker 8 (01:26):
It is now five oh one on news Radio seven
forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 9 (01:33):
The cal rey has arrived on Tuesday night, and America
has gotten a reprieve. And Donald Trump's going to come
in here and this is going to be get shut down.

Speaker 8 (01:40):
Texas Leeutenant Governor Dan Patrick on Fox talking about the border.
As President elect, Donald Trump told NBC News yesterday that
quote no price tag will keep him from implementing his
mass deportation plan for illegal aliens, adding that he has
the mandate to do this in this week's election. The

(02:00):
president elect President hits the ground running naming Susie Wiles
the first female White House Chief of staff in our
nation's history.

Speaker 10 (02:09):
Wiles has long time been the front runner in the chief.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Of staff position.

Speaker 10 (02:15):
She is a longtime political operative from Florida ran very
successful campaigns, including one for Senator Rick Scott for his
Senate run.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
She was Trump's campaign co chair.

Speaker 10 (02:25):
She's even gotten a lot of praise from Democrats from
the other side of the aisle.

Speaker 8 (02:29):
Fox's Aishahanzi. Now it is five two. The man that
Trump is replacing. Joe Biden finally addressed the nation after
Trump's landslide win on Tuesday yesterday.

Speaker 11 (02:43):
I spoke with President Elect Trump to congratulate him on
his victory, and I assured him I direct my tired
administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful
and orderly transition.

Speaker 8 (02:56):
Biden's sounding a bit different than when he called for
Trump to be locked up and when calling Trump's supporters garbage.
Just because Kamalahi is lost, so doesn't mean that she
can't become president before January. Some conservatives, really conservative think
that Democrats could actually remove President Biden give her a
short run in the Oval office.

Speaker 12 (03:19):
A lot of Democrats are very angry at Joe Biden.
They feel that the decision to run again when he
was eighty years old was very reckless and a very
risky decision at a risky gamble that he.

Speaker 8 (03:32):
Lost Axios's Alex Thompson on CNN. Even if that does happen,
and lame duck Congress likely wouldn't be able to pass anything,
and any executive orders would wind up being challenged in
court reversed as soon as Trump takes office. Republicans have
flipped another US Senate see Dave McCormick has defeated longtime
Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey.

Speaker 13 (03:56):
They're deeply distressed by the skyrocketing prices, the wide open border,
the crime in our cities, the war on fossil fuels.

Speaker 8 (04:04):
Yeah, Casey, however, refusing to concede even after the Associated
Press has called the race it's official, but he won't concede.
As for the US House, well, they flipped a seat.
The Republicans did in Michigan, now holding a two to
ten to one ninety eight advantage. Some races still not official, however,

(04:25):
they got to have two hundred and eighteen seats in
order to secure the House majority.

Speaker 7 (04:30):
Five h four is our time.

Speaker 8 (04:31):
More violent crime is used in the father in a
Leaf got shot killed while his five month old daughter
was in the back seat of his car. Maybe not
hurt another person in that car was injured. They're no
arrest of him made. Looking at our money, Many Texans
are facing struggles to afford housing. Now some suggestions to
convert vacant commercial real estate into multiple units.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Maybe there's a solution there.

Speaker 14 (04:56):
Maybe if we get government out of the way, there
might be some of ability to use those high rises
to help with housing affordability. They're still there today, they'll
be there tomorrow.

Speaker 8 (05:09):
State Senator Paul Bettencourt he was at a hearing in
Austin yesterday.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
It's now five oh five.

Speaker 8 (05:14):
While Texas leadership has banned DEI at our public schools,
the Biden heres regime has continued to impose some five
hundred DEI actions.

Speaker 15 (05:26):
These DEI policies have made it all the way down
to military colleges.

Speaker 16 (05:30):
The US Air Force Academy has diversity and inclusion cadet
officers who were a special insignia, and they report to
a separate chain of command.

Speaker 15 (05:40):
Former Space Force officer Matthew Lohmeyer told Fox he was
fired for opposing DEI in the military.

Speaker 16 (05:46):
The fellow commander informed me that'd be happy to turn
me into the base commander if I continued to privately
criticize our diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Speaker 15 (05:54):
Lomyer says that opposing DEI in the military should be
completely nonpartisan. Ethan Buchanan's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 8 (06:02):
Well parents have certainly had it with woken. As another
sign here, voters in Montgomery County have elected four more
conservative women to the Conroe ISD Board. It's now all female,
all conservative. It's five six. As expected, the FED cut
interest rates again, this time by a quarter point.

Speaker 17 (06:23):
So what does that mean for the rest of us.

Speaker 9 (06:25):
The impact of a single quarter point interest rate cut
is almost imperceptible on the household budget.

Speaker 17 (06:31):
That's bank rates. Chief financial analyst Greg McBride.

Speaker 9 (06:36):
What's going to matter is the cumulative effect of multiple
rate cuts over time. Interest rates went up very fast.
They took the elevator going up, but they're going to
take the stairs coming down.

Speaker 17 (06:45):
He also added that mortgage rates have gone up the
last two months. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty kt ORH.

Speaker 8 (06:54):
President elect Trump has given no indication of this, but reporters,
of course are hounding and want to know will he
ask the FED chair Jerome Powell to step down? They
ask Powell, who says, well, he won't go.

Speaker 18 (07:08):
Do you believe the president has a power to fire
or demote you not permitted under the law.

Speaker 8 (07:14):
Powell's term expires in twenty twenty six. The gap between
the average price of a new vehicle compared to a
used car is now above twenty thousand dollars for the
first time ever.

Speaker 19 (07:26):
Factories want to sell as many cars to the dealers
as they can. That's how they make their money, and
so they're pushing cars well. In return, dealers have to
push them too, which means that they need those big incentives,
but they also have to dig deeper into their discounts.

Speaker 8 (07:42):
Yeah, KTRH car pro Jerry Reynolds says average new car
prices are actually falling used car prices. Zoo will soon follow.
It is five oh seven. Rocket is visiting Oklahoma City tonight.
Pregame at six on Sports Talk seven ninety. I'm Sure
for Friar on News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
World Events, National Headlines, Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Farrett
and Sheriff Fryar.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Too much monkey business going out to South Carolina's here
about this? Forty lab monkeys escape from a research facility
there's a public warning not too far from yam Assey.
I'm not sure how they pronounced the name y E
m A s s Ee Yumassey South probably Yumassy, South Carolina.

(08:28):
It is the home of a research facility called the
Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center. Forty monkeys somehow escaped. Public
has been worn Do not pick up any monkeys, Do
not allow any monkeys into your home, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. I thought to myself, Okay, what are they

(08:48):
doing with the monkeys?

Speaker 5 (08:50):
So I looked up.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
I looked them up, and I thought, okay, obviously it's
a research center. Now I don't know how the monkeys.
They claim the monkeys are very well treated. Who knows.
But I did manage to find out that some of
the things that they do with the monkeys include I
can only assume are partners in conducting I'm going to
read right from the website, are partners in conducting pre
clinical primate research studies in a variety of areas which
are experienced in vaccine development. So they're experimenting with vaccines

(09:15):
on these monkeys. Therapeutic drug therapies, viral pathogenesis, small molecule administration, pharmacokinetics.
Now I assume they're trying out different drugs and pharmaceuticals
on these monkeys and experimental surgical procedures. So you've got

(09:36):
monkeys that are being that's lack of a better messed
with on a daily basis. I mean, I'm sure if
given it, monkeys are pretty smart. Given the opportunity to escape,
they're going to want to escape, and they certainly have here.
And I guess maybe you're trying to light on this
company and what this company does. They probably prefer to

(09:56):
live in a more anonymous world where nobody knows.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
What it is that they're doing.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
But I'm guessing these monkeys at a reason why they
wanted to get out of Dodge five to ten, time
for traffic and weather together.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
This story has a moral. What's the moral of the stories?
Goy I? It is to keep an eye on your monkeys.

Speaker 7 (10:12):
Keep an eye on your monkeys.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
All right, Well that was an old one. Let's take it.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Let's take a look at your belts and loops. Jimmy
and Shera and Terry. We've got South loops six y ten.
I always like to hear from cat from Brookside Village
and if she were up yet, I don't think she is.
A golf freeway over to the southwest Side Meadows place.
We look good heading over toward I sixty nine. Problem
for you, now here's the deal. You've got wet roads
this morning, so again I've got to take your snooze

(10:37):
off whichever way you go. West Sam looks good. You
have that roadwork going on around Bisonette and bel Air
northbound and southbound, and it's a disaster if you're getting
that feed er. Stay out of it. I don't know
what they're doing. But the main lands are fine. Also,
North Sam, you have roadwork at Imperial Valley eastbound, Aldean
Bender westbound, and for now.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
We're actually getting through those scooches.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
If you're trying to catch a plane, my secret is
always the Hearty Toll Road airport connector.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
But don't tell anybody.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
He's text. We've watched, we picked up that debris. What
else is going on?

Speaker 7 (11:07):
Keep an eye on your mind.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
I don't know that's it. Twenty one minutes from Humble Down.
I've just washed my hair and I can't do a
thing with it. It's not your fault. Terry I'm SKYMIKEE
on the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
Lough to worry. She's off today. She does not have
to take the blame for Mark. There was Terry over there.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Nope, from our ktrah top tax Defenders twenty four, our
weather center. Jeff Barr's over there this morning, and I'm
seeing Jeff and straighten this out for us, if you would.
I'm seeing all sorts of stories online, a variety of
different stories of where Rafael is going. And there's still
some sites that are claiming it's gonna hit the United
States and cause all sorts of devastation and problems, and
other ones where it's going to Mexico and other ones

(11:42):
where it's just sitting out in the gulf. What do
we know about Rafael? Yeah, I should sit out in
the central part of the golf end of this weekend.
Eventually weekend is an encounters sheer and also some dryer
air will be pushing in, so probably downgraded tropical storm
sometime this weekend does a little bit of a loop
clockwise loop and then drifts to the southwest towards the
Bay of Campeachy. So should stay away from the US,

(12:03):
but there will be some marine impacts, certainly long yet
for Texas Coast, with some rough surface and some rip currents.
Otherwise partly to mostly cloudy today, scattered thunderstorms, a high
of eighty three, rain off it on tonight with fog
late and a low of sixty. Now we'll keep the
scattered thunderstorms around Tomorrow's seventy seven the high, isolated showers

It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you Biden, new South
Windows solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Schera with the
info you need to take.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
On the day.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
Also, the blame game continues for Democrats and their operatives,
although there are a few that seem to get it.
There are few that seem to have reflected upon this
election and they understand what went wrong. Others, of course,
they want to blame Biden, or they want to blame
themselves or others, or they want to blame the candidate.

(12:58):
But it's it's more of a policy thing than it
is the actual candidate, although the candidate was pretty dull
gone bad anyway. We'll share some thoughts about what went
wrong coming up next. First though, at five Funny Traffic
and Weather together's we check out the drive once again
to Skymike.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
We're going down the North Freeway with Mark from Spring.

Speaker 8 (13:57):
Here's SHAFF five twenty one now on news Radio seven KTRH.
Republicans still need eight seats to maintain control of the
US House. CNN reports New York judge Wan Murshan may
throw out those bogus bookkeeping convictions against Donald Trump. He
by next Tuesday. A competitor to BUCkies the Texans stores.

to Houston.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Staying updated on what is occurring use Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
All the Democrats are reflecting big time right now, trying
to figure out exactly what went wrong? Five twenty two
is our time here in Houston's morning to do? Is
only a handful of them seem to understand it? Though
only a handfuls seemed to get it. One of them
would be Democrat New York Congressman Torres.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
What is this? First name?

Speaker 6 (15:02):
Is it Rico tars Now? I don't think so, something
like that Torres. Anyway, he says it's time for the
party to stop catering to the far left. Response by
one of the well. The only Democrat serving on the five,
and that would be Harold Ford Jr.

Speaker 22 (15:21):
I have a concern that the far left is pressuring
the party to take policy positions that are deeply unpopular
among most Americans. You know, one example is defund the police.
If you're speaking to working class people of color, then
you would realize that there was never a mass constituency
for a movement like defund the police, and so we

(15:41):
should be taking positions that are in line with the
majority of Americans.

Speaker 23 (15:45):
Seeing ad after ad after AD and NFL football games
saying that taxpayers were going to be funding transgender surgeries
in for inmates.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
It's not something that's going to play well.

Speaker 23 (15:59):
And what's cohnsin in Michigan, in Pennsylvania among men, they
were afraid to respond to it because it might offend
some small subset of their base.

Speaker 24 (16:10):
I think working class people are capitalists. Working class people
don't want to be overtaxed. Working class people don't want
to be lorded over and dictated to by rich people,
big corporations, or politicians who are sanctimonious. And if we're
going to find our way back to that group, I
was in Virginia this morning and near Hot Springs, Virginia,

(16:33):
coming back to the airport in Charlotsviile was driving the
number of Trump van signs I saw in these neighborhoods
that twenty five thirty years ago would have had Democratic
yard signs. It just reminded me of the real answer
over the last several years to this political education that
Democrats and even Republicans whose party has been changed and

(16:54):
transformed over the last several years.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
The political education's name is Donald Trump.

Speaker 24 (16:59):
I'm not a support of Donald Trump, but I'm just
under trying to understand politics here, and I would caution
my party stop telling Democrats in the country that democracy
is dead. Stop telling people that we that he's hitler
and that we somehow an they're going to find our
way off a deep, deep cliff. We are the United
States of America, and as a political part if we

(17:21):
want back in, we can't get ourselves back in by
trying to ice ourselves and shut ourselves out. Working class
Americans found a voice this election. It's not indefinite or
infinite that this voice of Donald Trump's will be there
for that matter what he's espousing, but right now it
is and for us to learn from it.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
We have to learn from it and.

Speaker 24 (17:41):
Not get so constipated in the head and diarrhea with
the mouth about how bad he is and how bad
this moment is.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
There you go, chronic constipation. I hadn't really thought of
that before.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
Maybe that's the problem, followed by diarrhea the mouth mouth.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
Oh, that's just a See if you're if you're a
modern Democrat, you could you could figure this out.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
You know.

Speaker 6 (18:05):
It was the policy positions, you know, you you know,
it was the far left, you know, and and and
and the things that they were. I don't want to
say forcing the Democrat Party to do.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
That is the party now, yeah, because that was the leadership.
That's the leadership. That's a king, Jefferies, it's Nancy Pelosi.
They're far left.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
They are going to if they're AOC, if they're ever
going to make a comeback, they're going to have to
get rid of the coastal elite.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
They're just going to have to.

Speaker 7 (18:31):
That Democrat Party is gone.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
You don't think they're ever going to make a comeback.

Speaker 8 (18:35):
No, I think they move over to the Republicans like
Ted Kennedy June, I mean, Robert Kennedy Junior did and
Tulsea Gabbard.

Speaker 7 (18:43):
I think they're gone.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
So you think the Democrat Party period is.

Speaker 7 (18:47):
As we knew it as a success.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
Not the party of our parents, certainly not not the
party of John F.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
Kennedy.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
Well, the Republican Party is still being that a long
time ago. The Republican Party is no longer the party
of our parents either. Exactly it is. It is morphin.
There's something much better.

Speaker 8 (19:01):
So what you know, it's the twenty first century people
who cling to what they think the norms were. Well,
no time marches on.

Speaker 6 (19:10):
Okay, five forty six, Time to take a look at
your money. Denise Pellogrinny is in this morning.

Speaker 7 (19:15):
Hey, good morning to you, Jimmy and Shriffs.

Stock futures are putting to a lower open, but that's
after yesterday's mixed close. Dow futures down nineteen points, SMP
futures down ten, Nasdaq futures down eighty four. Of course,
today's little dip comes after Wednesday's massive, massive rally. You know,
twenty billion dollars flowed into US equity funds on the
day of Donald Trump's presidential election victory. And we got

(19:39):
some news in the energy market three of the biggest
names in US home energy automation now coming together to

They want change, they want to be part of the
Trump mandate.

Speaker 8 (22:04):
That's Florida Senator Rick Scott with Kghis Clay and hoping
to be the next Senate majority leader after Mitch McConnell
steps down. Now, Republicans expanded their Senate majority after officially
winning the seat in Pennsylvania, though Casey is not.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
Conceding yet.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Republicans also within striking distance of maintaining their majority of
the House.

Speaker 17 (22:32):
And Shira, how big of a deal is that?

Speaker 28 (22:34):
It's absolutely essentially in fact is it's the only way
that the Trump agenda could be accomplished legislatively.

Speaker 17 (22:40):
That is Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government.
And what happens if Republicans don't keep the House.

Speaker 28 (22:48):
There will be investigations of President Trump from day one.
It can anticipate an impeachment in the first year over
something it would be extremely difficult to pass a vass
mature of the tax cuts that are needed to get
our economy going again.

President Joe Biden finally addressing the Kamala Harris landslide loss
to Donald Trump.

Speaker 11 (23:19):
She ran an aspiring campaign and everyone got to see
something that I learned early on to respect.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
So much her character.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
After all of his divisive campaign rhetoric, the president now
talking about a peaceful transfer of power. Biden didn't blame
anyone for Tuesday, but his spokesperson certainly did.

Speaker 29 (23:40):
What we saw two nights ago was certainly very much
in line to what we've seen in other G seven
countries in incumbencies. The role, the toll that the pandemic.

Speaker 8 (23:54):
Took, Yeah, that's Karine. Jean Pierre blaming COVID for the
Democrats lost. Kamala's campaign raised a billion dollars, it was
given a billion dollars, but Politico now reporting it's ended
up twenty million dollars in debt. It blew through all

And the Democrats nationally have no way and no idea
of how to message to a Texas Democrat, and so
they are becoming a die and breed. The Democrats are

between now and then, experts warn it's Katie bar the door.

Speaker 27 (25:32):
Another caravan of about twenty five hundred migrants just departed
headed to Mexico City, where they'll disperse and head to

Speaker 6 (28:04):
Yeah, Hell love me good cheeseburger, good French fries. And
I realized when I'm eating it that I'm not eating
the healthiest thing on the planet. But I would like,
I really would kind of like to know what's in
the cheese I'm eating. And I got a sneaking suspicion
that maybe one of the offshoots of Bobby Kennedy Junior
coming into this Trump administration is We're going to start

(28:27):
finding out some things about processed foods that we haven't
found out before. What will be interesting to me is
will it change any habits? If you knew exactly what
was in processed cheese, would you eat it? Or would
you seek out real cheese? That's the question I was.

Speaker 8 (28:44):
Reporting forty years ago about fake cheese. It's got caseinate
in it. It's what keeps it soft and flexible, and
it's what you're using paint.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
Yes, ain't that great here?

Speaker 8 (28:56):
I don't know if they still have casinaate in it,
but you can look on the package and.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
Well, here's let's start with this. If real cheese is
important to you, you probably would like to know that
in the area, fast food, Chick fil A, Wendy's, and
Chipolte all use real, non processed cheese. So if you
want real cheese, you can count whatever cheese you get
to Chick fil A, Wendy's or Chipolti's real cheese. If
you want McDonald's, you're not gonna get real cheese. You're

(29:23):
not gonna get real cheese on most of their products.
Former McDonald's corporate chef says the company uses processed, pasteurized
American cheese made from milk, cream, water, sodium citrate, salt,
cheese cultures, citric acid enzymes, soy lectithin and added color

(29:45):
because it wouldn't normally be American cheese would not normally
be orange, be closer to it looked more like butter
than what it looks like now. That allows for a
lot of filler, according to a company called the Well,
according to the story in the Food Network, they put
a lot of filler in there. McDonald's u K claims
the cheese slices are composed of sixty percent real cheddar

(30:08):
and then other cheese. Burger King also serving a cheese product.
They don't say what it is, just that it's a
cheese product, whatever that means. Bo Jangles also uses well,
they don't even say, they use a cheese sauce in
their mac and cheese, but there's no list of ingredients
of what is in the cheese sauce. Also Sonic Dairy

(30:30):
Queen and Tim Horton's. We don't really have those around here,
but up north they have Tim Horts like a glorified
donut shop.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Similarly use processed.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
American cheese, which of course they have DA says is
not real authentic cheese.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
If you care about eating real cheese, well, I mean.

Speaker 7 (30:46):
You know, kind of hard to.

Speaker 8 (30:50):
Not process in terms of what it does. Sameness of taste.
You know, you have to have equality of taste, right,
I mean, think about it, were they were slicing a
log of cheese to put on your cheeseburger.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
H yep, Well.

out and announced that they were lowering the interest rate
by a quarter basis points twenty five basis points a quarter.
For no surprise there, It was kind of baked in.
That's what Wall Street thought would happen. The question is

(33:22):
did they do the right thing? And the question also
was asked to Jerome Powell yesterday we got a new
president coming in. Are you sticking around? Are you worried
that he's going to ask you to leave? So well,
we'll get that question answered from Jay Powell as well.
But first we've got traffic and weather together as we

Speaker 6 (35:18):
So you know, I was really hoping that Earl Hazard
would have a follow up to this song called how
Long will Interest Rates Stay High?

Speaker 5 (35:25):
But he never did for some reason, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (35:28):
You know, if you have a booming economy, yes, what's
important is not the interest rates, is that the prices come.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
Down, yes, right, the inflation is So if you have a.

Speaker 8 (35:36):
Booming economy where you have an expansion and where you're
bringing in money under terrace like Donald Trump wants to do,
six percent is not a high interest rate. We both
know that, Yes we have, we've lived it before.

Speaker 5 (35:50):
But we have hundreds of billions of people who haven't
lived that before, who don't understand that who think that that's.

Speaker 8 (35:55):
Something will send it very quickly if all of a
sudden they've got more money in their pocket.

Speaker 6 (36:00):
Here's here's what I think. Part of what I think
happens with the economy shares. I think that come inauguration Day,
once Trump is inaugurated and the reality of the Trump
presidency is real, I think there are a lot of
people who have put off doing certain things, spending money,
especially big money on things, who will spend money now
because they'll have their confidence back. I think that will
be an immediate boom to the economy. But the FED,

(36:22):
I don't know if the Fed. I think the Fed
cooked in an interest rate. They kind of had to
do it because they did it for the bangs.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
You know, it's not mortgage rates. It's for the bangs.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
Mortgage rights are right back up to where they were
the fact, over seven percent.

Speaker 8 (36:36):
It's what they what they have to pay to borrow
money in order to cover.

Speaker 7 (36:40):
Themselves exactly exactly they can't.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
So anyway, they're asking Jerome Powell yesterday, you know if
if he were asked to leave by President Trump, would
he leave. Oh, by the way, we'll also get Breitbart
editor John Carney in here with his thoughts on what
they're doing with interest rates.

Speaker 9 (36:56):
Some of the president's elects advisors have suggested that you
should resign.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
If he asked you to leave.

Speaker 7 (37:03):
Would you go?

Speaker 5 (37:04):
No?

Speaker 31 (37:06):
Can you follow up on do you.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
Think that legally you're not required to leave?

Speaker 35 (37:11):
No.

Speaker 36 (37:13):
Look, they shouldn't have cut in September. That was a
really irresponsible cut. They definitely shouldn't have cut by fifty
basis points. They box themselves into having to cut again,
even though there's no reason to cut in November.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
But they really couldn't afford.

Speaker 17 (37:27):
Imagine the outrage.

Speaker 36 (37:28):
That would have happened if they cut fifty basis points
right before the election. Donald Trump gets elected and they say, oh,
never mind, we're not cutting anymore. They put themselves at
an impossible position. The market knows that they can't cut
on the schedule that they had telegraphed Before yesterday, there
was a seventy five percent chance that the Fed would
cut even more fifty basis points in December. Now the

(37:51):
market says there's no way they're cutting fifty basis points
in December. They do think there's going to be another
quarter point in December, because if they didn't do that,
the FED would have to admit that September was a mistake.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
They hate admitting.

Speaker 17 (38:05):
That they made a mistake.

Speaker 36 (38:06):
So they're gonna cut one more time in December. But
then I think they go on hold because, as you said,
inflation is not tamed. The FED even admitted that in
the statement. They used to have a statement in there
that said they were confident inflation was coming down to
two percent. That came out of the official statement today
they now say the risks of too employment and inflation

(38:26):
are balanced.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
That's a way of saying, we screwed up.

the ground running, officially naming his campaign co chair Susie

(40:54):
Wiles his chiefest staff. The daughter of the legendary Pat
summerl is also the first woman in his to hold
that position. By the way, she has worked for people

time six h two. President Joe Biden waited until yesterday

(41:15):
to address Trump's victory and tried to defend his own record.

Speaker 11 (41:21):
Much of the work we've done is already being felt
by the American people. If the vast majority of it
will not be felt, we felt over the next ten years.

Speaker 5 (41:29):
We have it, We have legislation we passed. It's just
only now just really kicking in.

Speaker 32 (41:35):
Well.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
Harris's loss, that was Biden in the Rose Garden.

Speaker 8 (41:38):
By the way, Harri's lost to Donald Trump is some
think that she could still make herself president before January.

Speaker 37 (41:45):
Sea Pax Mercedes Slap told Newsbanks it sounds crazy, but
Democrats really are that angry at Joe Biden.

Speaker 10 (41:52):
Democrats are blaming Joe Biden for Kamala Harris's loss.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
They're not even blaming Kamala Harrison. And what's their logic.

Speaker 29 (41:59):
They're base that's the same because he chose to run again,
that it's his fault.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
So the finger pointing is happening.

Speaker 37 (42:05):
Theoretically, she could have a seventy five day presidency, but
Congress wouldn't pass anything and Republicans would challenge any executive
orders in court. Cliff Saunders, News Radio seven forty k trh.

Republicans have expanded their majority in the Senate again. Dave McCormick,
he defeats Bob Casey in Pennsylvania. He's going to be
joining other Republican winners like Montana's Tim Shee.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
Our government is not functioning as well as it should.
It's not serving its people as well as it should.

Speaker 12 (42:32):
That's not too much for the American people to ask
that their government put the interest of our country first.

Speaker 8 (42:38):
Yeah, the AP called this Pennsylvania race, but Casey refusing
to concede the incumbent Democrat. He says there are still
votes to be counted. Republicans currently hold a two ten
to one ninety eight advantage in the House. They need
eight more seats to secure that majority. That would give
trumpet unified Congress to work with and all also to

(43:00):
keep them from not certifying his election and ultimately trying
to impeach him again. It is now six ' oh

Speaker 5 (43:31):
I don't know how the federal.

Speaker 14 (43:34):
Oversight allowed that to occur, or much less the city
oversight to occur, because you can't build affordable housing on
a fly ash site and expect people to move into it.

Stay, Senator Paul Bettencourt at a Senate hearing yesterday. It's

Biden Harris regime has implemented over five hundred DEI policies

Speaker 16 (44:02):
This is a very dangerous, very divisive ideology, and we
treat it anymore like it's a protected religious worldview.

Speaker 8 (44:10):
Yeah, that's the former Commander of Space Force, Matthew Lomyer.
He says even in the Air Force Academy there are
separate DEI officers now who report to a separate chain
of command about DEI issues. You send your kids to
their woke public schools too. Voters in Montgomery County, though

Speaker 9 (44:53):
So even though the Federal Reserve is cutting short term
interest rates, mortgage rates have been bounding higher.

Speaker 7 (44:58):
They have been the last seven weeks.

Speaker 9 (44:59):
They it's gone from six point two percent back up
to seven percent, reversing more than half of the big
decline we've seen over the summer.

Speaker 8 (45:07):
Yeah, he says, Americans wouldn't notice any change to their
own pocketbooks books until next summer, at least. The gap
between new and used car prices, this is something. It's prices.
It affects Americans, and now we're seeing that gap is widening.

Speaker 18 (45:23):
It is promising though, that the prices of new and
used cars will continue to fall.

Speaker 19 (45:28):
New car prices are coming down and they have for
over a year. And it's really not that cars are
getting cheaper, it's just more that the incentives are getting better.

Speaker 18 (45:39):
Jerry Reynolds, host of the Car Pro Show, says the
car market is heading in a good direction.

Oh.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
Evidently there's a sex strike at work amongst feminist females.
Six oh eight is our time here in Houston's by News.
It's modeled after the South Korean four B Movement? Have
you heard of that? The four beat movement in South Korea?
Why are South Korean women all all pissed off at
their men? The four B movement is no behaviors towards men.

(46:38):
The four are no dating, no sex, no marriage, and
no children. Well, I think I know who's adopting all
the cats of the world. There must be a lot
of cat adoptions going on in South Korea. Interest in
the movement evidently spiking since President Trump's victory over Kama Harris,

(47:01):
with some American feminists saying they plan to emulate the movement,
that they're going to punish the men that voted for
President Trump by not dating them, not having sex with them,
not marrying them, and not having their children. The problem
is is that you know you have a tendency. If

(47:23):
you don't have sex with one group, you might have
tendency to have sex either with yourself or with another group.
And you might think, well, maybe these women are or
will become lesbians. But have they figured out that fifty
of American women voted for Trump. That's going to eliminate
a lot of that potential pool as well. Yeah, it's

(47:44):
could be lonely, very lonely. I guess they're just gonna
have to hang with themselves. How long do you think
a sex strike like that would last? And is this
going to be a four year deal? Then can you
hold off for four years? At this point, I would
have no problem holding up for four years. That's one
big deal.

Say one thing and do something else exactly.

Speaker 8 (48:11):
Get your moments of thing, get your clicks on the internet.

Speaker 7 (48:15):
You know, all this crying. Half of it looks funny
to me anyway.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
Yeah, they're probably not going to fall through it.

Speaker 26 (48:20):
You know.

Speaker 8 (48:20):
It's the people who snap pictures like that face that
Nancy Pelosi had at the concession speech of Kamala Harris.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
It looked like you just sucked on a prune.

Speaker 7 (48:30):
Oh man, it looked like all of those shots had
gone south.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
Maybe it did. Six ' ten.

Speaker 6 (48:37):
Time for traffic and whether it be good for business
in some parts of town. You're right about that sky Mike,
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
I wouldn't know, But let's check your West Sam around Bisonett.

Speaker 5 (48:46):
Don't go there. We're looking.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
That's roadwork and it's both ways from I sixty nine. Seriously,
don't go beat to bel Air both ways. That feeder
road is a disaster. Just don't even get in that roadwork.
The main lanes are actually skipping around nicely. As we
go from a Jersey village down to the Southwest Freeway.

Speaker 5 (49:03):
That's a piece of cake.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
I have forty five North Freeway round airline looks good
so far as coming down from the Belt to the
loop loop in Yep, rocking along fines gett a little
thick around the Shepherd curve and I tend east around
the truck stops from the Sanjracino River Bridge. What from
Highlands coming in? We're rocking along at twenty one minutes.
Oh Mike from Magnolia.

Speaker 21 (49:24):
Dude, Hey, dude from ninety nine to the West Belt
Friday light by taking it easy because it's a little
bit slipped.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
And I got a pole question for you, all right?
Were you Razor X or speed racer?

Speaker 26 (49:38):
I was a Razor X.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
I don't think anybody else remembers hot wheels. That was
an actual cartoon seven one three two one two tips
and I need to throw down that golf freeway we
were looking for the wreck at airport.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
Looks like the toe truck ninjas have struck.

Speaker 4 (49:51):
I'm in the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic center.

Speaker 6 (49:54):
From r KTRH stopped ax Defenders twenty four hour Weather Center.
Time to check in with Jeff Maher. He's got the
forecast for us, And don't believe the rumors about Rafael
headed to Texas at this point. Doesn't look that way,
does it.

Speaker 34 (50:06):
Yeah, forecast a weekend to a tropile storm this weekend,
make a little bit of a clockwise loop and then
head to the southwest towards the Bay of Campeachy, where
it should weaken further as we make our way into
the upcoming.

Speaker 5 (50:17):
Start of the week, So that's good news for us.

Speaker 34 (50:18):
Some marine impacts though, with some rough surf and rip
currents along the coast. In the meantime, scattered chowers and
thunderstorms popping up today with a high eighty three. We'll

to him about Trump mass deportation, whether or not there's
a surge building for the border between now and the
end of the Biden term. And then of course there's
Star County, which did something that didn't happen in one
hundred years. More on that coming up next. First, though,

Speaker 5 (52:59):
Use radio KTRH six twenty two or time.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
Here in Houston's Morning News, I let's start with the
possibility of a border surge. We're joined by Bob Price,
Associate editor Bright Bart Texas. We now know that President
Trump will take office in January. So I'm guessing I
think we already had, we were already expecting where we're
not to have some sort of border surge here over
the course of the next month or so, and that
this will only I guess, increase the chances.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
You there, sir, well, ye, yeah, good morning.

Speaker 38 (53:30):
Yes, absolutely, the chances are on the way have A
matter of fact, we reported yesterday that another group of
twenty five hundred migrants left Chiappas and Southern Mexico headed
up to Mexico City, where they will then be dispersed
to random border crossing points across the United States southern border.

Speaker 8 (53:48):
You know, I'm really curious knowing that Donald Trump is
coming into office and the pledges that he's made about
deportations to begin with, But what about all of these
so called non governmental groups that have been making multimillions
of dollars in facilitating all of this so settling and
getting housing and all of that.

Speaker 7 (54:07):
What happens?

Speaker 8 (54:08):
You would think that what are they trying to do
a last gasp to make their money before Trump takes over?

Speaker 5 (54:14):
Or what well they and.

Speaker 38 (54:17):
The cartels who have made billions of dollars off of
humans smuggling some of These cartels make more money from
smuggling human beings than they do from smuggling drugs, so
there's a lot of economic pressure, I guess, to get
them up here. The people are lying to them, and
you know, the lying to the migrants, telling them that
they'll be okay if they get across the border before January.

(54:37):
But there is that threat that's out there that President
Trump has made that he will begin immediate deportations.

Speaker 6 (54:44):
Well, you know, I saw ched Wolf on FOTS yesterday
and he was making some comments about mass deportation, And
I don't know that his comments about mass deportation that
necessarily match what some Americans have in their mind and
what mass deportation would be. Certainly, people coming across the
border who are not coming across legally are going to
be immediately sent back. That's deportation for sure. But other

(55:09):
than criminals, do we really think there's going to be
a major effort to round up illegals aside from people
who are being arrested for committing crimes.

Speaker 5 (55:18):
Well, I think there will.

Speaker 38 (55:19):
Be to some extent, but the initial emphasis is going
to be on people that are crossing the border and
on criminals that the police encounter across the country or
people that they can track down. Those people are a
direct threat, especially when you look at the trendy Aragua
Venezuelan gang and the activities that they've been carrying out
across the United States.

Speaker 5 (55:40):
So those will be priority one.

Speaker 8 (55:44):
Donald Trump is very good at working the economics against
anything that needs to be stopped, and certainly the economics
against Mexico for not making them stay in Mexico while
we go through whether they should be legally admitted. So
what can you do if he doesn't take both Houses
of Congress, Because if he gets both houses of Congress,

(56:05):
he can cut off the spigot well.

Speaker 38 (56:08):
And he did that before, even not having control of
the House, when the Democrats were blocking everything he was
trying to do, he still went to Mexico and got
things done that forced them and Honduras to keep migrants
and slow down the crisis to the lowest point in
recent history. One quick thing before we run out of time.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
We broke the news this.

Speaker 38 (56:31):
Morning that the Border Patrol has sent out a notice
that Venezuelan migrants are Venezuela is sending intel operatives to
be and release prisoners to quote unquote neutralized targets in
the United States, meaning that they are going to be
searching for political enemies of the Venezuelan government and trying

(56:54):
to take them out so that they cannot release information
about what's going on, true information about what's going on
in Venezuela.

Speaker 5 (57:01):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (57:02):
Wow, Hey, we've been reporting that in our newscast, So
thank you for telling us about this.

Speaker 6 (57:06):
Yeah, and quickly if he could. I wanted to get
a thought from you, Bob Brice on Star County voting
Republican for the first time since eighteen ninety six.

Speaker 5 (57:13):
That is an amazing story, isn't it isn't that crazy?

Speaker 38 (57:17):
And actually, when you look at the map, with the
exception of Brooks County, the president took almost every county
along the Texas southern border, El Paso, and one other
county in far West Texas in the Big ben Region
state Democrat. But when you look at the twenty twenty
map versus the twenty twenty four map, it's a clear

(57:40):
indication that President Trump won the support of the Hispanic people.
This county is Star County is ninety seven percent Hispanic.
It's the most Hispanic county in the country, and it
hadn't voted Republican since eighteen ninety six. As you mentioned,
so it was a tremendous move campaign by President Trump

(58:00):
to emphasize the importance of what's been going on along
the b the economic impact it has on everyday Americans lives,
and nobody knows it better than people in these Texas
border counties.

Speaker 6 (58:12):
Right, Bob, thanks as always appreciated. Social's editor at Breitbart Texas,
Bob Brice at is six twenty seven. Time to take
a look at your money. Here's Denase Pellegrini.

Speaker 25 (58:20):
Yeah, Tesla is now offering the option to lease it's
cyber truck, Jimmy, and it will start at nine hundred
and ninety nine bucks a month. If you put seven
five hundred down toward leasing an all wheel drive version
of the electric pickup for three years with zero down,
of course, it'll cost you much more. Stock futures are
pointing to a lower open after that mixed thing yesterday

(58:41):
and that massive surge on Wednesday on word of Donald
Trump's presidential victory. Futures for the Dow right now just
down about two points and slightly lower on SMP NAZDAK
futures down fifty five, and have you been making some
money beating the house on Draft Kings? If so, you
could be part of the reason why today could be
a painful day for some of those betting on the
sports betting business. Draft Kings cutting its full year estimates,

(59:05):
that stock is lower. Right now, I'm Deni's Pelgritty Bloomberg

Speaker 3 (59:25):
More of what's happening now from the John Morris Services Studio.

Speaker 6 (59:29):
Six thirty is our time here in Houston's Morning News.
I'm Jimmy Barrett along with Sheriff Fryar on your top
stories this half. Our Republicans now have fifty three US
Senates seats. It's looking like a Congress that Trump will
be able to work with. And coming up at six
thirty eight, Democrats have almost three months to fight back
and they plan to details in the minutes ahead. You're

(59:50):
in Houston's borning News. First, we're checking out that morning
drive again. Here's sky Mike.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
I got a wreck on the South Sam whoop. Look
out four cars here. They put some of it on
the left shoulder. This is south sam westbound at Makawa.
The left shoulders block with a couple of cars. You
got some on the right shoulder, so we're bowling the
split westbound lookout coming up from the Golf Freeway at
forty five North Ghetto, Dave.

Speaker 26 (01:00:13):
Soon you're looking at Lake Conro right now.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
It was just clear all the way. All right, you're
north freeway. I am so jealous, Dave.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
I'm Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 6 (01:00:23):
From r KTRH Generator Supercenter, twenty four hour weather center
for today. Cloudy skies for the morning hours, then becoming
partly cloudy is the day progresses. But there is a
chance of a straight shower storm. High temperature today will
be right about eighty four. Weekend looks pretty good for
most of the things you want to get done. We'll
check it out with Jeff Mark the Weather Channel when
we talk to him in about eight minutes. Right now,

(01:00:44):
seventy five at your official severe weather station, News Radio
seven forty k t RH. It's time now for the news.
Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 8 (01:00:52):
Good Morning is six thirty two on News Radio seven
forty kgrh our top story the Zara Republicans won control
of the US Senate this week. They're going to pick
a new majority leader on November thirteenth. Florida Senator Rick
Scott one of three candidates who would like to replace
Mitch McConnell.

Speaker 5 (01:01:09):
Here's what business, guys do we get results. How do
we do it well?

Speaker 34 (01:01:13):
We have a purpose, we build a team, we write
a plan, We measure ourselves constantly to get a result.

Speaker 8 (01:01:21):
Scott on with kat I Reaches, Klay Travis, and Buck Sexton.
He's going to be running up against, though, Texas Senator
John Cornyn and South Dakota's John Thune, who've both been
pretty much the Mitch McConnell pikeyes, groomed by him. Republicans
are eight seats away from maintaining the House majority. Richard
Manning with Americans for Limited Government says control of both

(01:01:43):
chambers are key for President elect and then President Donald Trump.

Speaker 28 (01:01:49):
That it's essential if you have the House and you
have the Senate, you have a capacity to cut taxes
and cut government. So having a majority control of the
House and the Senate opens the door for budgetrec affiliation.

Speaker 8 (01:02:01):
Yeah, Trump with a unified Congress as he had in
twenty seventeen, except the uniparty came after him when he
started his first term. Six thirty three is our time.
They trash Trump on the campaign trail, but now President
Joe Biden was eating crow after Kamala's landside laws.

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
I will do my duty as president.

Speaker 11 (01:02:22):
I'll fulfill my oath and I wanted the Constitution on
January twentieth. We'll have a peaceful transfer of power here
in America.

Speaker 8 (01:02:32):
A bit different than that lock him up that he
said just a couple of weeks ago. Also sounds a
lot different than democracies at stake, which is what White
House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre has said for months.

Speaker 29 (01:02:46):
I do not appreciate having my words twisted. That is,
I have been very clear, very very very clear about
what the President wants to do and the Vice president.
We want to make sure that we deliver for the
American people. They deserve. They deserve a peaceful trainl for
a power and that's what you're going to see.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
Thanks everybody, and.

Speaker 8 (01:03:02):
Then she walked out of the press briefing. Harri's campaign
guess what. They were given over a billion dollars to
spend in just a few months. Politico now reporting that
the Harris campaign went through it all and they're twenty
million dollars in debt. Some of their staffers aren't being
paid here at home. Democrats spent seventy seven million dollars

(01:03:23):
in calling allreds campaign and they lost big again.

Speaker 39 (01:03:28):
It might be time to look inward because all the
I played football ads didn't work.

Speaker 30 (01:03:32):
I think there becomes a saturation point where it actually
becomes a net negative to be doing that many ads.

Speaker 39 (01:03:38):
Melissa McKenzie of The American Spectator says Democrats were toned
deaf to their base and they might not have enough
money left to change the playbook.

Speaker 30 (01:03:45):
They're getting money from nefarious overseas actors, whether they be
in China or Rush or wherever. So that gave them
a lot of money just to throw around, but that's
not going to be the case going forward.

Speaker 5 (01:03:56):
She says.

Speaker 39 (01:03:57):
Democrats now have no new upcoming face and are in
a deep pole. Andre Perard News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 8 (01:04:04):
It's six thirty five days of Open Borders numbered with
Donald Trump returning to the White House, in January. It
means there's a rush right now of illegals to cross
before then.

Speaker 40 (01:04:14):
Our expectation is that the cartels are going to continue
pushing across as much as they can. To keep in
mind that the Biden administration is also bringing migros directly
into the country using this CBP one apportation.

Speaker 8 (01:04:27):
Yeah, Bob Price with Bright Bar Texas. He says, there
is a new caravan making its way through Mexico right now.
Already some ten thousand illegal aliens at our border waiting
to try to cross. Trump doubling down though on his
mass deportation plan. He's done a new interview with NBC News.
We'll have more on that at seven am. Mexico the

(01:04:50):
country now suing American gun makers, claiming they're responsible for
all the cartel violence, and the case has already made
its way to the US court.

Speaker 15 (01:05:01):
This is just another attack on our rights that should
have been dead on arrival.

Speaker 32 (01:05:05):
There are issues here too of national security and national
sovereignty that should have prevented any court from entertaining this.

Speaker 15 (01:05:13):
Writer Mike McDaniel told KGRH now that Trump has won reelection,
Mexico might just drop the case.

Speaker 32 (01:05:18):
I think Trump's going to be having some real come
to Jesus moments with Mexico here very soon, and a
lot of these things are just going to go away.

Speaker 15 (01:05:25):
McDaniel says that even if Mexico doesn't drop the suit,
the conservative majority on the court will likely rule in
favor of firearms manufacturers. Ethan Beginnon News Radio seven forty KGRH.

Speaker 7 (01:05:36):
It's now six thirty six.

Speaker 8 (01:05:38):
State and federal officials may soon begin addressing this issue
of Chinese owned farmland, you know, around our military bases
in Texas and all across the United States.

Speaker 33 (01:05:50):
Trump being in office, how that affects China's strategy of
ownership of American land going forward. I would hope that
it would have a chilling effect on it. I've not
seen where they would necessarily plan to expand it. Hopefully
that has an effect.

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
On it as well.

Speaker 8 (01:06:05):
Brandon Walton, senior editor at Texas Scorecard. He says, the
state legislature here will be discussing this issue, maybe outlawing
it in our state beginning in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 7 (01:06:17):
Six thirty seven is our time.

The Houston Texas playing Detroit on Sunday night football and
the kickoff at Energy Stadium seven twenty pm in college football,

and Traffic station News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
The tools you need to take on the day news
in the morning, weather and traffick. This is Houston's Morning
News with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 6 (01:06:50):
All it is going to be run all right. Six
thirty eight is their time here in Houston's Morning News.
I mean, I don't think any of us really believe
that the Progressives are going to go quietly into the
good night, right.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
You know, it's gonna be rough. Three months.

Speaker 6 (01:07:03):
We're enjoying hearing what the President Trump plans to do
once he takes office, but between now and then, they
have the better part of three months to do a
lot of damage. Yesterday, President Biden made it clear that
all of his directors will continue to be followed up
until the time that Donald Trump has worn into office,
which means that border's going to be wide open. Anybody

(01:07:25):
can get here before then. It is going to get in.
But Senator Elizabeth Warren came out and kind of defined
some of the other things that they're definitely going to
be doing. She brought up in the courts, fighting in
the courts. So if you think lawfair is going to
go away, it's not. Virtually every move that President Trump
will make will probably end up in a court. And
we can go how that kind of slowed things down

(01:07:46):
last time. The other thing that they plan to do,
and this is the part that there's really not a
whole lot you can do about it if if they're
capable of Congress is a capable, especially the Senate, of
working quickly, which they've never showing a propensity for doing,
and that is to confirm federal judges and quote unquote
key regulators confirm them because those are people that Trump

(01:08:10):
cannot touch. Those are people that he can't come in
and fire. So if as many of those people they
can get in, then the new administration will.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
Be stuck with those people. That's their plan. Anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
Six forty time for traffic and weather together, we're checking
out the drive once again.

Speaker 5 (01:08:26):
Here's sky Mike. All right, I've got some big trouble
in the south Felt. I'm getting that shortly.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
I do want to go around the Horn just a
little bit on the Southwest Freeway west Park your backups.
You've got the roadwork on the north Salm at Aldane
Westfield that's westbound and then eastbound Imperial Valley.

Speaker 5 (01:08:39):
Those are both starting to.

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Scunch up, and your east TeX's kind of a hubub
from equipment down past the down to the Big Georgia.
Lose two or three minutes. All right, let's go right
to the south field. I've got Elvis from League City.
If I can get to go Elvis.

just before the time waist side exit.

Speaker 6 (01:09:01):
Looks bad.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
All right, that is some tough looking stuff. So far
they're still calling that shoulders. I'm looking here on eleven
eighty seven. Uh, let's see the constable's unseen and uh,
just the shoulders left and right. You're bowling a split

Speaker 21 (01:09:27):
I don't like going all the way across town.

I don't know why. Seven one three two one two tips.
I'm one to talk to Jimmy, you know, I do

I live by Bush, so we're all doing this.

Speaker 5 (01:09:41):

the forecast for the weekend. Chances of rain, not a
rain now, but any stripted the imagination right, just a little
blips here and there.

Speaker 34 (01:09:57):
Yes, scattered toowers and thunderstorms. And that's what we're seeing as.

Speaker 5 (01:09:59):

Trump administration will be Robert F. Kennedy Junior, whose job
it will be to straighten out the CDC and the FDA.
And what he's going to do well both remains to
be seen. Former CDC director doctor Robert Redford A Redfield,
by the way, was yesterday, I saw I think it

(01:11:02):
was on News Nation commenting on it. That was an
interesting conversation between him and Chris Guilmo. We'll share it
with you next. First, though, traffic and weather together as

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
On Youth Radio seven k t RH, six fifty three
is our time here in Houston's morning news.

Speaker 5 (01:13:13):
Yeah, the FDA does get in the way.

Speaker 6 (01:13:15):
A lot of regulations with the FDA, but they don't
seem to care much about the overprocessing of food. So
doctor Robert Redfield, forward director of the CDC, got asked
by Chris Pomo, even if he's capable of making a
whole bunch of changes to try to get us into
a more healthy diet pattern, will Americans go along with it.

Speaker 41 (01:13:37):
It's not that we have we are eating more, it's
not that we're exercising less. I think he's really onto something.
Is that what we put in our body?

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 41 (01:13:49):
Not as healthy in this idea, but you know hyperpothsis
foods and the idea, you know, we know it, and
that can be changed. No, here's my pushback. I got it.

Speaker 42 (01:14:01):
Here's what it is, and I'll double layer it and
I'll let you address it. Here's the thing, Ken, Yes,
will no way. These companies that have found cheap ways
to feed America, they have the leverage, They control the
agencies as a revolving door.

Speaker 5 (01:14:17):
You're one of the only guys.

Speaker 42 (01:14:19):
Who didn't go right back into the private sector. You're
doing research in your own practice. They have too much
control to get regulated in a way that will make
the food what.

Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
Bobby wants it to be. And Bobby is a kooky.

Speaker 42 (01:14:31):
Anti vaxxer and won't capture the trust of the American
people because of that address both.

Speaker 5 (01:14:37):
Yeah, First, for sure.

Speaker 41 (01:14:39):
I know that Bob Kennedy is not an anti vaxxer.
You know, I'm one of the biggest advocates of vaccines,
probably in public health, and I know for a fact
that Kennedy's done an anti vaxer. What he wants is
transparency about vaccines and have an honest dialogue about it.
He's not anti science again, he wants transparency about vaccines.
I remember when I was a young doctor and I

(01:15:00):
felt that we should go for a class action suit
against the tobacco industry, and everybody told me I was nuts,
would never happen.

Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
This was in the seventies, and.

Speaker 41 (01:15:12):
In fact, when I look at where we are today,
we actually recognized that the bacco industry was not in
the interest in the health of the American public, and
we've changed that. I believe we can do the same here.
We have to be a list, we have to be consistent.
But I do think Kennedy has the leadership, capacity, commitment

(01:15:35):
and passion that gets us accomplished.

Speaker 6 (01:15:37):
Okay, but you have to be prepared. Look how long
it took to wean people off of smoking. I mean
there are still people who smoke, just like there's still
will be people who will eat unhealthy no matter what
you do. But it took forty fifty years for it
to really take hold. So it's not something you were
going to fix overnight, that's for sure. All right, time

President Donald Trump and Breg Abbott are our close.

Speaker 8 (01:19:10):
This sucker down Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick on Fox,
referring to the border. As President Donald Trump will be
doubling down on his plans.

Speaker 37 (01:19:21):
The president elect told NBC News that no price tag
would keep him from putting his mass deportation program into place.
Trump telling Meet the Press that quote, we have no
choice now. Polling on mass deportations found that fifty four
percent agreed with the idea, including twenty five percent of
the Democrats that were part of the poll. Trump also
says he's got a mandate to bring quote common sense

(01:19:43):
to the country. Cliff Saunders, News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 8 (01:19:47):
Donald Trump made the first appointment of his new administration,
selecting Susie Wiles as his chief of staff. She has
been his co campaign manager and has been with Trump
for almost a decade. A daughter of legendary broadcaster Pat Summarole.
While we keep going into identity here, she is the
first woman ever to hold that incredibly powerful chief of

(01:20:10):
staff position in the White House. It is now seven
oh four man Trump replaces Joe Biden. Addressed the nation
finally after that landslide win of Trump's on Tuesday.

Speaker 11 (01:20:22):
Yesterday, I spoke with President like Trump to congratulate him
on his victory.

Speaker 8 (01:20:28):
M a little bit different than when he called for
Trump to be locked up and when calling Trump supporters garbage,
don't you think? Just within the past few weeks, Kyla
Harris lost, but she could become president before January. Some
fear that Democrats will remove the president Biden and give

(01:20:49):
her a short run in the Oval office to do
what kind of damage.

Speaker 12 (01:20:53):
A lot of Democrats are very angry at Joe Biden.
They feel that the decision to run again when he
was eighty years old was very reckless and a very
risky decision, a risky gamble that he lost.

Speaker 8 (01:21:08):
Yeah, that's Alex Thompson of Axios on CNN. But if
it did happen, it would be a lame Duck Congress
likely would not able to pass anything executive orders well,
they would wind up being challenged in court and then
reverse as soon as Trump takes office. Republicans flip another

Bob Casey.

Speaker 13 (01:21:31):
They're deeply distressed by the skyrocketing prices, the wide open border,
the crime in our cities, the war on fossil fuels.

Speaker 8 (01:21:39):
Casey, however, refusing to concede yet even after the AP
has called this race. As for the House, Republicans still
hold a two ten to one ninety eight advantage in
the House. Some races still not official. They have to
have two hundred and eighteen seats needed to secure the majority.

It is now seven o six violent crime in Houston
overnight with a father and a leaf shot and killed
in his car while his five month old baby was

Another person in the car was injured. Many Texans are
facing struggles right now trying to afford housing, and some
suggest converting vacant commercial real estate into multi unit apartment complexes.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
Maybe there's a solution there.

Speaker 14 (01:22:28):
Maybe if we get government out of the way, there
might be some ability to use those high rises to
help with housing affordability. They're still there today, they'll be
there tomorrow.

Speaker 8 (01:22:40):
State Senator Paul Bettencourt at a hearing in Austin yesterday.
It's now seven o six Texas. Our leadership in this
state has banned DEI at our public schools. Not that
they don't keep trying to do it, because the Biden
Heares regime has imposed five hundred DEI actions.

Speaker 15 (01:23:00):
These DEI policies have made it all the way down
to military colleges.

Speaker 16 (01:23:04):
The US Air Force Academy has diversity and Inclusion cadet
officers who wear a special insignia, and they report to
a separate chain of command.

Speaker 15 (01:23:14):
Former Space Force officer Matthew Lohmyer told Fox he was
fired for opposing DEI in the military.

Speaker 16 (01:23:19):
The fellow commander informed me they'd be happy to turn
me into the base commander if I continued to privately
criticize adversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Info at this speed of Houston right now, Houston's Morning
News continues with Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryer christ As.

Speaker 6 (01:24:10):
We had a chance to dry your cheers yet seven
leiter start time here in Houston's Morning News. The late
night hosts are still crying and moaning and groaning. No wonder.
Greg Gutfeld's the number one late night host. You know,
even even when things aren't going particularly well, he does
manage to find humor in the whole thing. And he
did his level best to find some humor in the
plight of his fellow late night host.

Speaker 26 (01:24:32):
But now.

Speaker 35 (01:24:34):
Even calml admits everything's gonna be fine. So much for
Trump being Hitler. Turns out she was lying the whole time.
They all were still CBS gave handy tips for coping
with loss CNN recommends taking deep breaths, long walks, and
please don't suppress your emotions. Usually when they cry this much,
they're sharing an elevator with Brian Stelter on Taco Tuesday.

(01:25:02):
And so the media is giving you solutions to the
problems they caused. After all, who generated all the anxiety
by promising the apocalypse if Trump won?

Speaker 5 (01:25:12):
They did. It's like climate hysteria.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
They bang the drum on it.

Speaker 35 (01:25:16):
Enough, and then kids came down with climate stress. They
pretend to cure disease they cooked up in their own labs.
It's like China coming up with a vaccine for COVID.

Speaker 5 (01:25:27):
Look at Kimmel and Colbert.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
They're rex because they believe the.

Speaker 35 (01:25:31):
Media, and yet we're fine because we weren't brainwashed. We
know the media's job is to lie, to create anxiety
out of proportion to the actual threat or no threat
at all. Journalists really only need to give you one
tip to manage stress, and that stopped paying attention to journalists.
Maybe these late night losers will stop thinking that the

(01:25:52):
world is ending, because we know under Trump it's really
just beginning.

Speaker 6 (01:25:58):
Well said, of course, the apocalyptic tone continues with the
mainstream media. But Biden in his speech, I used to
find some high ground that and he was for some reason,
he was lucid. He was completely lucid. And it looked
like he had finally woken up from a bit, you know,
from a three and a half year nap. He just,

(01:26:20):
all of a sudden, he was making sense. I hopefully
if we have time, well I'll share a little longer
version than what we've had in our newscast as far
as what he had to say yesterday was quite amazing.
Seven to ten time for traffic and weather together as
we check out the drive.

Speaker 5 (01:26:34):
Maybe he's rip Van Winklesky, Mike. He just woke up,
you know, all of a sudden. Hello baby, Hello, my darling.

Speaker 4 (01:26:39):
All right, south Sam westbound. I may have called that
backup cleared a little too early. The wreck is cleared up, Makawa,
but the backup it's still it's still pretty thick. Now
coming over from forty five, you still lose in about
eight to ten minutes heading over toward two eighty eight.
Should you do the south loop While the south loop
has the roadwork at Cullen, so you really won't save
much there now downtown iHeartRadio listeners were the first to

(01:27:03):
know what was really happening. The official sources had that
as a stalled truck Katie Freeway inbound at Houston Avenue
and thanks to trucker Brian from Spring Branch who got
a close up for me. He said, no, that's an
eighteen wheeler that hit a bottom of the Houston Avenue bridge.
So for now we're taking out two right lanes and truck.
And Brian also helping me watch my language. His favorite

(01:27:25):
share of bite backups from you know, let's do the
North Loop six ' ten instead, or take the South
Loop or even the Southwest freeways a better way around it.

You like free stuff, We all like free stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
Guess what our iHeartRadio app is free and free never
sounded so good.

Speaker 6 (01:31:00):
Changed the Texas Center race at seven twenty three, So
time here in Houston's parting News, Melissa mackenzie joins us,
publisher of The American Spectator. I think that not that
we don't appreciate the money. You know, the state always
appreciates the donation of some sort, especially from the left,
but clearly spending all that money on to Texas Senate
races didn't amount to anything for Democrats.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
No it didn't.

Speaker 30 (01:31:24):
But I mean it's kind of exciting that the money
was wasted again, and it's kind of exciting that Texas
is far more read than we imagined and that the
hard work of Republicans in the state paid off. It
felt like it was closer there during the summer and
cruise and the Republicans ran away with it. Actually, so

(01:31:47):
it's you know, it's a good cycle.

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:31:51):
I think that certainly was a surprise to many of
us here in Texas that the Hispanic vote that has
always been read, that we had so many counties border
counties who came in resoundingly for Donald Trump, including Star County, Texas,
which hasn't voted Republicans since eighteen ninety six, ninety seven

(01:32:13):
percent Hispanic and they went for Donald Trump. That means
they also went for Ted Cruz. So that's what's happened
in Texas.

Speaker 30 (01:32:23):
Well, Yes, and I think you know, one of the
mistakes that national Democrats are making about Texas is that
about Hispanics specifically, is that in particular, that they don't
care about the same things that we care about that
everybody cares about. And if you live in Texas and
you're having to worry about the border and illegal immigration,

(01:32:46):
it's a concern and so and if you don't have
a job, and if inflation's affecting and regulations affecting your business,
I mean, all of those things matter. And of course
the woke insanity just does not work for you know,
conservative people, no matter your color. So I mean a

(01:33:06):
lot of people are just set up and that worked
to the favor of Republicans in Texas this kid, and
no amount of money can overcome it.

Speaker 6 (01:33:16):
Yeah, Well, Democrats are certainly sitting down trying to figure
out exactly what went wrong. Do you think they're going
to reach this epiphany or do you think that they
will continue to be ruled by the far left.

Speaker 30 (01:33:26):
Well, you know, I wrote about this actually a couple
of weeks ago at spectator dot org, the that the
Democrats had a real opportunity to readjust and that it
was actually a gift to them that Kamala Harris would
lose because they would have this time to reflect.

Speaker 5 (01:33:44):
And maybe get a Bill.

Speaker 30 (01:33:47):
Clinton type leader of the party who could bring the
bring their party back to some level of sanity. But
the way everybody's talking right now, I'm not sure that's
going to happen.

Speaker 5 (01:34:02):
But this was a pretty bad.

Speaker 30 (01:34:03):
Loss, and if any if there was any time for
the Democrats to wake up, there would be now. But
I'm not sure that's even possible. So we'll see.

Speaker 8 (01:34:14):
Yeah, it doesn't look like the leadership of the House,
the Democrat leadership of the House, has tried to moderate
themselves at all.

Speaker 30 (01:34:24):
Well, I mean, right now, everybody's really really angry, and
the Democrats have got themselves into a situation where they're
having to make sense of something that they just did
not expect, and maybe rationality will settle in now. The
problem really is always the Republicans, who in the House

(01:34:47):
and the Senate have wanted to make deals and triangulate
against the leadership of their own party. I'm hoping that
that doesn't happen like it's happened in the past. And
you know, it was really the Republican too Hamstrong Trump,
you remember, in the first two years of his presidency
last time. And hopefully this win was powerful enough to

(01:35:10):
make them even more obedient.

Speaker 6 (01:35:13):
We'll see, let's hope. So Melissa, thanks, appreciate it. Melissa mackenzie,

They're mixed, but they've been all over the place. Right now,
Dow futures are up thirty s and P five hundred
futures they're the ones that are lower, and Nestak futures
are also lower, down forty four. Some bad news for
chocolate lovers, cocoa futures surging. Chocolate producers see continued high
costs of the raw material, even amid an expected improvement
in crops at the world's top suppliers, and watch for

(01:35:49):
a holiday's shipping rush Thanksgiving later this year. Than last,
shortening by five days the peak shipping period from Black
Friday to December thirty. First, This means companies are out
there competing for business in this shortened shipping period. Number

In our top story this hour, they.

Speaker 27 (01:38:11):
Want change, they want to be part of the Trump mandate.

Speaker 8 (01:38:17):
Yeah, Florida Senator Rick Scott there, he was on with
KT Eurasius, Clay and Buck hoping to be the next
Senate majority leader after Mitch McConnell steps down. Republicans expanded
their Senate majority after officially winning that seat in Pennsylvania.
Now Republicans are also within striking distance of maintaining their
majority in the House.

Speaker 17 (01:38:39):
And shary how big of a deal is that?

Speaker 28 (01:38:42):
It's absolutely essentially in fact is it's the only way
that the Trump agenda could be accomplished legislatively.

Speaker 17 (01:38:47):
That is Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government.
And what happens if Republicans don't keep the House.

Speaker 28 (01:38:55):
There will be investigations of President Trump from day one.
It can anticipate an impeachment in the first year over
something it would be extremely difficult to pass Albassamat or
the tax cutser needed to get our economy going again.

Speaker 17 (01:39:08):
In the meantime, the counting continues. Chase ex hues Radio

She's been a partner and a public servant. She ran
an aspiring.

Speaker 8 (01:39:32):
Campaign, inspiring, he calls it after his divisive campaign rhetoric
before the President now talking about a peaceful transfer of
power to Trump. Biden Harris regime was forced to eat
crow after Kamala's crash on Tuesday.

Speaker 29 (01:39:50):
The President and the Vice President accept the choice the
country has made.

Speaker 8 (01:39:55):
M HM Greine Jean Pierre at the White House no
longer saying that democracy what is at stake. Kamali's campaign
raised a billion dollars. Yeah, and they spent it too,
celebrities on her side. But Politico reports in the last
week they went twenty million dollars in debt. They've blown
through that billion. Here at home, Colin all read Democrats

(01:40:18):
spent seventy seven million dollars against Ted Gruz just to
lose by ten points. Melissa McKenzie of the American Spectator
says it leaves Democrats without a new horse to back
here in.

Speaker 30 (01:40:30):
Texas, and the Democrats nationally have no way and no
idea of how to message to a Texas Democrat, and
so they're becoming a dying breed. The Democrats are leaderless
and divided, and it takes a while to come out
of that sort of wilderness.

Speaker 8 (01:40:48):
Yeah, she said, there was an awful lot of foreign
money out of state, even out of country that got
funneled into our race here squandered by those Democrats. It's
going to hurt their ability to change course. It is
now seven thirty five post election border surge we've been
warning about and have been warned about is here.

Speaker 31 (01:41:08):
Trump has pledged to crack down on the border as
soon as he returns to office on January twentieth, but
between now and then, experts warn it's Katie bar the door.

Speaker 27 (01:41:16):
Another caravan of about twenty five hundred migrants just departed
headed to Mexico City, where they'll disperse and head to
various border locations. So we've also had reports there's ten
thousand migrants already at the southern border, just waiting for
the right time to make it across.

Speaker 31 (01:41:32):
Bob Price with Brightbar Texas says the Biden administration is
also still letting migrants come in through the CBP one app,
which is expected to end under Trump. Cory Yolson News

Also warning from Brightbar that Venezuela could be conducting a
covert operation sending their release prison inmates to America to
pair them with Venezuelan intelligence operatives already here in order
to take out that is murdered for higher neutralized human
targets here before they can reveal what's really going on

There lawsuit by Mexico against American firearm manufacturers. It's made
its way to the US Supreme Court Mexico accusing America
of cartel violence, and.

Speaker 32 (01:42:21):
You should be asking questions like, look, you wait a minute,
what sort of standing does a foreign country have to
bring a case like this to our court? So the
first place, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:42:31):
Writer Mike McDaniel, who says, with Trump on his way
back into office, Mexico will probably have to drop the case.

It's seven thirty six.

We've told you for years about China gobbling up American
farmland land that surrounds military installations, but we've done nothing
about it.

Speaker 18 (01:42:49):
Chinese owned farmland is common through Texas with more than
one hundred and ninety two thousand acres.

Speaker 33 (01:42:54):
Texas is the hotbed for this that Texas has the
most foreign owned land in.

Speaker 18 (01:42:59):
The Senior editor at the Texas Scorecard, Brandon Walton says
the Texas State Legislature will spend more time on this
issue this time around.

Speaker 33 (01:43:07):
So as we head into this new legislative session starting
in January, I do expect that this is going to
be an issue that is tackled and is hopefully tackled
early on.

Speaker 5 (01:43:54):
Is that what it is? Okay, that's the.

Speaker 7 (01:43:56):
Way I always listen to it.

Speaker 26 (01:43:58):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (01:43:58):
I guess you could do it either way. But it
made me think of this survey. I saw that more
than forty percent of us name our vehicles. We give
it usually a human name. For some reason, Betsy and
Betty are still the most popular.

Speaker 7 (01:44:16):
Names for Oh Betsy, Yeah, yeah, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:44:19):
That's kind of an old school name for that.

Speaker 7 (01:44:20):
How many people name their trucks?

Speaker 5 (01:44:23):
I did?

Speaker 7 (01:44:24):
You did?

Speaker 5 (01:44:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:44:25):
The new truck.

Speaker 5 (01:44:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:44:27):
What have you named?

Speaker 5 (01:44:27):
Your new truck is right on the license plate, big red,
big Red. I called it big Red, big Red truck.

Speaker 7 (01:44:34):
The minute I saw it. I said, look at that
big red.

Speaker 5 (01:44:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:44:36):
My bandy place is JB. Big Red TK for truck, Yeah,
big Red.

Speaker 7 (01:44:43):
I had a hot red Mustang, but I never named it.

Speaker 5 (01:44:47):
You never named it.

Speaker 6 (01:44:48):
Why don't you You never named a car truck?

Speaker 7 (01:44:51):
Not my car? I'm me Yeah, why I know that.
That's why I don't need my car.

Speaker 5 (01:44:57):
I'm not my car, even my even my traverse. There
the other vehicle that has.

Speaker 7 (01:45:01):
A name, Yeah, well you have Vanity Place.

Speaker 6 (01:45:03):
Yeah that one. But that one, No, but that one
isn't named for me. That one is named Texts. You know,
Lisa will say, we go take Texts or Big Red.

Speaker 8 (01:45:13):
Well, I mean, when you've got a lot of vehicles
to choose from.

Speaker 6 (01:45:16):
You know the Text thing. It is funny because I
was curious. I looked at the list here of why
people name their their vehicles. One is for bonding. Many
people say that naming their car strengthens their bond with
their car. What you know what strengthens my bond with
my car by insurance bill? Milestone milestones. And this must

(01:45:39):
be how text got its name. Text got its name
because it was the first vehicle that we bought in Texas.
So that's why it's text bonded mile. So milestones are
another reason. Identity because especially if you have more than
one vehicle, which which one are we.

Speaker 7 (01:45:54):
Taken identity for the vehicle, Yeah, but for.

Speaker 6 (01:45:57):
The vehicle itself and uh love comfort and connection. Naming
inadimate objects like cars reflects our capacity for love, our
need for comfort, and our desire for connections.

Speaker 8 (01:46:11):
Always had the need for speed myself. I didn't need comfort,
I needed speed. There you go, and the ability independence
to go places.

Speaker 5 (01:46:20):
That's that was it. That's our generation that people.

Speaker 7 (01:46:23):
I just wanted to go place.

Speaker 5 (01:46:24):
That's it. We wanted to have a car so we
could get the heck out of the house.

Speaker 8 (01:46:27):
If I could get my hands on a muscle car today,
I wouldn't even name it today.

Speaker 6 (01:46:31):
No, no, not even a red Mustang. You wouldn't name
a red Mustag.

Speaker 7 (01:46:36):
I'd like an SS.

Speaker 5 (01:46:38):
Oh.

Speaker 8 (01:46:39):

time here in Houston's morning News. I mentioned earlier that
Joe Biden delivered one of the few cognitively perfect, almost perfect,
cognitively perfect speeches long it's only about seven minutes, talking
about the peaceful transition of power reaction. He actually sounded

(01:49:18):
presidential for the first time in three and a half years.
More on that story coming up next. First, though, traffic

Speaker 6 (01:51:19):
Lots of changes coming changes at the White House, for sure,
And I was amazed this person and Biden sounded as
cognitively correct as he did. Is like he just woke
up from a nap or something. Here he is talking
about the transition.

Speaker 11 (01:51:33):
For over two hundred years, America has carried on the
greatest experiment in self government and history of the world.

Speaker 5 (01:51:41):
And that's not hyperbole. That's a fact. For the people.

Speaker 11 (01:51:45):
The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they
do it peacefully.

Speaker 5 (01:51:50):
And we're in a democracy. The will of the people
always prevails. Yesterday I spoke with.

Speaker 11 (01:51:58):
President Elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and
I assured him if I direct my entire administration to
work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition,
that's what the American people deserve. Yesterday I also spoke
Vice President Harris, She's been a partner and a public servant.

(01:52:22):
She ran an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see
something that I learned early on to respect so much
her character. She has a backbone like a ramrod. She
has great character, true character. She gave her whole heart
and effort, and she and her entire team should be
proud of the campaign they ran. You know, the struggle

(01:52:45):
for the soul of America since our very founding has
always been an ongoing debate and still vital today. I
know for some people it's a time for victory to
state the obbe for others, it's a.

Speaker 5 (01:53:02):
Time of loss.

Speaker 11 (01:53:04):
Campaigns, your contest of competing visions. The country chooses one
or the other. We accept the choice the country made.
I've said many times, you can't love your country only
when you win. You can't love your neighbor only when

(01:53:26):
you agree something. I hope we can do no matter
who you voted for, they see each other not as adversaries,
but as fellow Americans.

Speaker 5 (01:53:37):
Bring down the temperature.

Speaker 11 (01:53:39):
I also hope we can later rest the question about
the integrity of the American electoral system. It is honest,
it is fair, and it is transparent.

Speaker 6 (01:53:50):
Where's that message been for the last three and a
half years? Where's that message been? Funny how he managed
to bring it out? Now, Hey, by the way, do
you do you think that do you think that I
think you mentioned this yesterday that do you think that
maybe he might appoint Kamla he might step down so
Kamala Harris can become I.

Speaker 8 (01:54:08):
Said that there's a lot of fear out there and
a lot of mongering out there on the internet, on
x and other places that she will institute. She has
the ability to do it as twenty fifth exercise the
twenty fifth Amendment. So it's kind of good that he
sounded coherent on that because it's a lot harder to
do it right.

Speaker 6 (01:54:26):
But I was thinking you might do it just so
he could go down in history of saying I I
because of me, we had our first black female president.

Speaker 8 (01:54:36):
The only way that she could be sworn and is
the first female president of the United States is if
they get rid of Joe Biden and he either has
to do it voluntarily or they exercise the twenty fifth Amendment. Yeah,
by the vice president does that.

Speaker 6 (01:54:50):
And if he does it voluntarily, he gets to be
a hero. So I can I can see that part.

Speaker 7 (01:54:54):
Of it left not with the rest of the American voters.

Speaker 5 (01:54:59):
I don't know that he cares that much about the
rest of the American voters.

Speaker 7 (01:55:02):
Will sell that speech. Sure made it sound like he did.

Speaker 5 (01:55:04):
He did, didn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:55:05):
Well, we'll see, we'll see and it was coherent. Yeah,
we'll see where the truth lies. And all this is y'all.
Have you know me, y'all have a great weekend. We
will see a Monday morning.

Speaker 7 (01:55:13):
Back dive off on Monday. I'll be back Tuesday.
