Morning to Bob France. Good morning everybody.

It's five oh one on kt RH, our top story.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I think that's there's no precedent towards.

Speaker 6 (01:38):
Ryan Log with the United Cajun Navy on Fox. As
the search for some one hundred and seventy people still
missing from last week's Hill Country floods continues, the death toll.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
The sites they greet the President is at one hundred
and twenty. Elsewhere.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
Mattress Mack held a prayer vigil for the victims at
a downtown church last night, and if you want to
help the victims, we've got a link to the Kirk
County Relief Fund on KTRH dot com and on our
Facebook and X pages. Meantime, President Trump and the First
Lady will see the damage for themselves later today.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
The sites that greet the President in kervill are likely
to be somber at best.

Speaker 8 (02:13):
There's nothing like casseeing trees thirty feet up still having
to breed up there and just the sheer force of
the mud, the roots.

Speaker 7 (02:20):
The branches bear County gop CoA chair Kyle Sinclair has
been on the ground and says Trump's visit is important.

Speaker 8 (02:26):
There's something significantly different to actually be on the ground
or see it up close, the realness of it and
the power devastation that happened.

Speaker 7 (02:34):
If Sinclaire says, the visit shows leadership and will be
a morale boost to those still working on the ground
to recover victims. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
It is now five oh two.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
Sunday is the anniversary of the trump An assassination attempt
in Butler, Pennsylvania. National TV and radio host Wayne Allen
Roots says that was the day that won Trump the election.

Speaker 9 (02:55):
The only one with the cojones to do what needs
to be done, no matter who defends, and to cut
what needs to be and to give people back to
their great nation. And I think that day was the
day all crystallized the people's mind. This guy's for real.
This guy is amazing by the way.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
Selena Zito, who wrote the new book Butler, will join
Houston's Morning News to talk about it on Monday. We
have many unanswered questions about what happened in Butler, with
some saying the FBI hasn't told us everything they know.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Filmmaker J. D.

Speaker 10 (03:23):
Wilcox has a new documentary called Who Shot Trump, based
on three D plodding and forensic evidence from last summer's
shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. His conclusion there was a second shooter.

Speaker 11 (03:33):
We also uncovered very strong forensic evidence of at least
one bullet that could not have been fired from the
roof of the AGR building, which is where Thomas.

Speaker 10 (03:43):
Crook's body ended up. Will Cox believes the FBI has
the same evidence. Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Kelly is calling for
further investigation, saying his committee never got the answers about
the shooting. Corey Eelson, who's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Thank you, Corey.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
It's five oh four now on ktr H. Another clash
between protesters and ICE agents in California yesterday is agents
raid not one, but two potfarms employing illegal aliens. Meantime,
cops are still looking for Benjamin's song. He's the military
vetch who is believed to be the twelfth person involved

(04:19):
in an ambush at an ICED tension facility in Alvarado, Texas,
back on July fourth. Now Here at home, a Houston
man charged with murder is a step closer to getting
sprung from jail for free after a mistake by the
office of New Harris County DA Shawn Tier.

Speaker 12 (04:37):
The District Attorney's office had ninety days to filew murder charges,
but they missed that deadline. The Hill was issued a
personal bond for which is basically means get out of
jail for free today to stay added a new charge
which is keeping him in jail but on a lower bond,
which is an uneasy feeling for abdul Niazzi's family.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Corley Appeel with our TV partner channel too Messiulis Hill
was carn't with murder in March. The DA's office says
it's reviewing what happened five h five looking at your money.
Gasoline prices are nearly forty cents cheaper than they were
one year ago, averaging two dollars and seventy three cents
a gallon across Houston. This morning, oil futures are up
a quarter to sixty six dollars and eighty one cents

(05:18):
a barrel. And this is flying under the radar. Oil
field theft in West Texas is growing.

Speaker 13 (05:25):
Massive organized theft crews that are intentionally targeted the oil
inustry to steal patrolling product and sell it back a
great financial benefit.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
DPS special agent Jeremy Orr says the problem is getting worse.
Governor Greg GABBITTT just signed a series of bills to
create task forces to investigate all of this. Backer say
this has led to a billion dollar loss in the
Permian basin. One of the laws increases the penalty up
to one hundred thousand dollars. Coming up and now, on

(05:53):
five oh six, the hurricane barrel anniversary was three days ago.
In this week, forecasters scale back this year's seasonal prediction.

Speaker 14 (06:02):
We've been lucky so far in terms of the sarendos
has kind of.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Gave been good.

Speaker 14 (06:07):
We've had the high pressure system sitting over us, you know,
for a good part of the year. But as we
all know that that's not.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
Going to continue for Brian Murray with the Harris County
Emergency Management Office reminds everyone that in a typical season,
the Gulf of America waters don't start seeing a lot
of tropical activity until August. Hurricane forecasters say there will
be sixteen named storms now this season, down by one
from their May prediction. As of now, the National Hurricane

(06:33):
Center is not expecting any tropical activity for the next week.

(06:56):
Bryce Matthews. I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's news weather in
traffic station News Radio seven forty k t RH.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
The app that puts the app in happening.

Speaker 15 (07:07):
We have some breaking news.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
You ready make k t r H.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Your number one preset on the new and improved Free iHeartRadio.

Speaker 16 (07:13):
App Are you Good morning to everyone.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Once again, it is seven minutes after five o'clock on
this Friday, the eleventh morning of the seventh month of
the year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five. Appreciate you
being with us. Got an important morning, the worth of
morning's worth of news. Yeah, we're going to talk about
President Trump, the assassination attempt on his life, which is
one year ago Sunday on July thirteenth, and there are

(07:37):
still so many unanswered questions and we're going to be
addressing that a little bit. But obviously top story remains
President Trump coming to visit Hill Country four, you know,
to see the flood damage he's heard in the news report.
There's nothing quite like seeing it up close and personal.
Whether that guides or drives any policy changes or not
from the President, or speeds up any of the urgency

(08:00):
funding is really unknown. It's kind of more symbolic. I
think a lot of times when the President comes to
see something like this, but boil boyd as bad as
things are for some of the actual victims and their families.
Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett wants you to know that it's
all about how it makes her feel. She found a

(08:21):
way to take the tragedy and the loss of life
of this Central Texas flood and make it all about
her while giving her an opportunity to take a shot
at Trump at the same time.

Speaker 16 (08:33):
I want to know what is wrong with this woman.

Speaker 17 (08:35):
So anyway, I just wanted to jump on because my
heart is truly heavy for all of these families. The
sad part is I think that my heart is going
to carry a level of weight that will continue to
weigh me down as we have to continue to do
our best to survive in administration that literally is against us,

(09:02):
an administration that is doing everything in my mind to
hurt us and not help us. And it feels like
we're finding for ourselves.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
I'm rarely in my line of work speechless, but I
am running out of things to say about this woman.
Jasmine Crockett started out by saying, you know, my heart
is with the families, but the real problem here is
how it impacts me. It impacts me because it's heavy.

(09:35):
It's heavy on my heart that we have to deal
with an administration that is against us, an administration that
doesn't like us. Who's US Americans, Texans, women, black women,
black people? What are you trying to say, Jasmine? This
is supposed to be a time when we're talking about

(09:55):
a rescue and recovery. There are still one hundred and
seventy people missing and be the families of those individuals
who are lost, and she manages to go off the
board and go to sea, which is Here's how it
impacts me. Here's how it makes my heart feel real
heavy that I have to carry around because we have

(10:15):
to deal with it in administer. What in the world.
I want to know what people in her district are thinking,
and how on earth, as I said yesterday in the
hypothetical pole that was conducted, how it is that she's
actually leading in the Democrat primary, a hypothetical primary, to
win the Senate seat held by Cornet. Unbelievable What we

(10:38):
deal with with people like that? Okay, ten minutes after
five o'clock, we'll talk a little bit more about that
and obviously have an update on what's going on in
a hill country. But right now, I want to find
out what's happening on the roads.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yep, guy, like second dumbest person in the government to
put it on. Just now, let's go to the north.
How you doing Bob Yolagate this morning, dude, We're all good, buddy. Yes,
let's rock all right. So let's get some north side here.
I forty five North Freeway. I got that ramp here
and they do not have it on the official screen anywhere.

(11:10):
So this is North Freeway southbound ramp. There was nothing
but a motorcycle police officer there on that ramp that
goes westbound over to two ninety and just watch out.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
That's a really bad spot for this. Plus it's in
the bushes.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
I wish they'd get rid of some of these bushes
so we'd get a camera shot. But that's what we've
got so far. On the main lanes, we look good.
Twenty three minutes from Woodlands Parkway down into downtown East Text,
let's bring it in from the sticks.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
How you doing, New Caney. We look good.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Thirty two minutes in you're getting off fancy. Nothing to
slow you down. Downtown Gulf Freeway coming off the bridge. Hey,
this is where I'd like some listener help because this
is a blind spot for me and even the rest
of the media.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
But right off the Galveston Causeway. They keep showing this closure.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
They keep showing all this big spackle between the causeway
and Buy You Vista.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
You tell me what's going.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
On there trying to get If you could safely send
me a picture, I'll send it to the pretty ladies
on TV that's from the Causeway to Buy You Visda.
I don't believe there's any real slow down there, but
you let me know. Seven one three two one two
tips very happy to see Terry.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Skymichael the USA Rbresorts dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 16 (12:16):
Yes, indeed, it is great to see Terry.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Terry Smith at the Weather Channel has our forecast for us.

Speaker 16 (12:21):
Good morning, Terry, Hey.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Good morning. Well it's a quiet morning.

Speaker 18 (12:24):
I always like it when we can wrap up the
work week with no rain on the roads, at least
to start off with. But we're going to see some
of that later on this afternoon. And that's no big surprise.
We've been doing that the last several days. We're going
to keep doing that into early next week. A fifty
percent chance of the showers and thunderstorms later today, temperatures
in the low nineties. Tomorrow, a sixty percent chance of

(12:48):
showers and thunderstorms and low nineties Tomorrow, Sunday and Monday,
it's a fifty percent chance that you'll see the rain.
Tuesday a thirty percent chance of rain. So overall, no
real big change in the day to day weather pattern.
Does get a little warmer though, starting Sunday and Monday
and Tuesday with temperatures in the load of mid nineties.

Speaker 16 (13:07):
All right, Terry, thanks so much.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Right now, we have eighty at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty KTIH.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you Bien new South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy Barretts and the Houston
Morning News team all the info you need to take
on the day.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Okay, it is.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Coming up on five nineteen now, So as we continue,
obviously to deal with the aftermath of the horrific flooding
and obviously the ongoing attempt to find one hundred and
seventy people, the grief of the loss of over one
hundred and twenty, the causes are still, you know, in issue,
and a lot of people are looking at the climate

(13:49):
and suggesting that it is climate change that makes all
of these natural disasters worse. If there's a hurricane, it's
a worse hurricane because of climate change. If there's an earthquake,
it's because of climate change. And we know the drill
by know. But are more Americans swayed by this? Do
Americans still believe that climate is the problem for you know,
these types of natural disasters or just in general warming.

(14:11):
Harry Inton on CNN once again, I don't know how
CNN continues to employ this guy. Because Harry Inton keeps
pre bringing the facts and the truth with all kinds
of political surveys and results that fly in the face
of the CNN narrative, including climate change.

Speaker 16 (14:28):
Most Americans aren't buying this nonsense.

Speaker 19 (14:30):
Americans afraid of climate change? And the answer is Americans
aren't afraid of climate change. Climate activists have not successfully
made the case to the American people.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I want you to take a look here.

Speaker 19 (14:42):
Greatly worried about climate change, We have data going all
the way back since nineteen hundred and nine. Look at
that it was thirty five percent, two twenty twenty forty
six percent, and twenty twenty five forty percent, which is
the exact same percentage as back in two thousand. Despite
all of these horrible weather events, bitch of Americans who
are greatly worried about climate change has stayed pretty gosh

(15:05):
darn consistent, which kind of boggles the mind a little bit. Granted,
everything that we see on our television screens, our computer screens,
the hurricanes, tornadoes, the flooding, but yet greatly worried about
climate change twenty five, the exact same percentage is back
in two thousand.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, maybe that's why they keep employed, because he's trying
to sell the narrative. Despite all of these weather events,
people still don't but are not afraid of climate change.
Maybe it's because people are dumber than the left wing
media is when they try to gaslight us everywhere, because
that's literally it. It is remarkable that in nineteen eighty
nine only thirty five percent of the people who were
afraid of climate change, and in twenty twenty five, despite

(15:39):
these decades of non stop media fear mongering, we know better.
So there it is. The flood is the flood. The
climate is not the problem. Five twenty out, Actually five
twenty one, let's move onward. It's the sky miner. How
we do and get set?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
We're is it me, Barber?

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Is this not a very Friday like Friday. It just
doesn't have that Friday field.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's Friday to me, brother.

Speaker 16 (16:02):
Okay, I'm happy weekend is here.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Wellber I hope you get to take off tomorrow. Let's
do some Katie Freeway here, hop on and hang on.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
We're looking from Grand Parkway into the President's Heads. That's
pretty easy twenty five minutes for now. No big problems
on the West part for now to speak of. You've
got that. We don't even really have the scooch before
the Southwest Freeway off rimp Southwest Freeway coming up from
the Brazis River outbound. They're doing the lane shift and
that's going to be a long term project.

Speaker 20 (16:30):

Speaker 5 (16:30):

Speaker 2 (17:53):
He is not a king.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Something could happensheki in all day pervision Rising lives always
so there really is something there that's Radio seven KRH.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
That's a fantastic story to hear about. Thank you Cliff
for wrapping the headlines with that one. So the Epstein
story huge news this week. Obviously at the beginning of
the week we heard the DOJ and the FBI say that, yeah,
it's pretty much closed. The Epstein cases is going to
end the where it is, there is no client list,

(18:23):
and oh, by the way.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
He definitely killed himself.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
That's not making a lot of people happy, in particular
people in Mago world, people who are Donald Trump supporters
looking at the Donald Trump administration and saying, wait, what
you're going to end with that? I thought you said
that we were going to get clarity and the truth
on all of these things that were not revealed in
you know, in the previous four years. You know, he died,
did Jeffrey Epstein in twenty nineteen. So for you know,

(18:47):
the last five six years, people whom saying what in
the world, and I thought we were getting answers. Well,
while people are furious about that because they want people
to be held accountable, Victor Davis Hanson is among those
very most like a crew of people who have a
suggestion as to why the Trump administration is likely putting

(19:07):
to bed the Epstein investigation, or at least why they
won't talk about any sort of list that might exist about.

Speaker 21 (19:15):
I think I think it's pretty clear now that Epstein
had no talent other than blackmail, and he was not
a financier. He was not a captain of finance at all.
What he did is he invited very powerful people to
his island or his New York home, filmed them, and
then he bribed them, and he shook them down and
said I'm going to be your quote unquote financial advisor,

(19:38):
and in exchange for that, I'm not going to release
all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
And whether you know.

Speaker 21 (19:44):
There were some pretty busy people, because I think it's not.
I think there are people in the establishment. I don't
know if they are took in his his sick things
he was doing, but they feel they have some so
ciation with him, and they have a finance. They gave
him money to invest when there was no reason to

(20:05):
hire someone like that. There were much better financial gurus.
But he got a half a billion dollars somehow from
people who were mainstream establishmentarian on the basis that he
was going to blackmail.

Speaker 16 (20:19):
I think that's how he made his money.

Speaker 21 (20:20):
And I think those names are numerous, and I think
the Trump administration thought, well, we're going to release this,
and there's some crazy people that we don't care about
are going to be embarrassed. And then all of a
sudden they got a lot of calls and said, why
are you doing this. I didn't do this. I went
down the island once, I was on a plane. I

(20:41):
didn't touch anybody. And they're saying, and now you're going
to release my name, I'll be guilt by I'm not
going to get And I think that's what's happening.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
That's Victor Davis Hansen, conservative pundit, and he is echoing
some of the same remarks made by former Fox host
Bill O'Reilly and Bill O'Reilly was on Cuomo on NewsNation
I'll have this a little bit later this morning, in
which he said the same thing. The reason they're not
releasing the list is the list is going to have
a bunch of names on it to people who were
associated with Epstein, maybe financially and maybe we're being blackmailed,

(21:08):
but have nothing to do with the actual crimes that
were committed against kids on Epstein Island. It's a really
really dramatic term here and something we will continue to
explore this morning here on KTRH. But for now, though,
at five twenty six, we're going to explore the markets
and see what's going on on Wall Street. A Bloomberg
Business report with Dan Schwartzman, Hey Dan, Good morning.

back on today to talk about this ongoing effort and
obviously about some of the politicization of it as.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Well that'll be later.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
ON i want to pivot just a little bit here
and talk about The New York city mayors. Race we
all know what's going on With Zoron. Mamdani he is a,
Radical communist And, islamist a little bit of. Both there's
something called the red green, axis which is the merging
point between two very dangerous anti capitalist and Anti american,

(30:02):
ideologies the red being the, communism the green being The.
Islamism it all comes together in one man when it
comes To Zoron, mondani And democrats are terrified about what
he is doing to their, brand never mind the fact
that the reason he is now suddenly a household name
is because they voted for him in The democrat primary

(30:23):
in The New York city. Race betsy McCoy At The
New York sun, wrote A Mayor mamdani would either Raise
New york's already high taxes to pay for all these,
goodies or his reckless spending will plunge the city into fiscal,
chaos leading to draconian austerity measures like cuts to police
and garbage collection disastrous either. Way aren't there legal guardrails
to limit what an Irresponsible New York city mayor even

(30:45):
a crazed socialist one can do for half a. Century,
ever Since gotham's financial tobacle in nineteen seventy, Five New
yorkers have taken comfort in knowing that a state run
financial control board is in place to prevent the city
from ever again plunging into fire financial. Chaos yet that's
more a myth than. Reality the guardrails have turned into
tissue paper Under New york's one party increasingly leftist. Rule

(31:10):
so they're terrified now about what's going to happen with
respect to you, know all of his promised socialist ideas
and such as government run grocery stores and redistribution of
homes from the wealthy to the, impoverished literal communism on.
Display but the other half of that is the green,
half which is The. Islamism And islamism is different than

(31:34):
Just islam because it is Political, islam and it is
carried out by radicals like this person who has gone
viral now as one Of mamdani's in turns working on his.
Campaign listen to what she, said.

Speaker 35 (31:49):
And the true believer knows that none of this is in,
vain that this is all you had that this is
all ebada and this is all counted for by a.
Panda and so the conversation of, doxing the conversation of
getting arrested and. SUSPENDED i think it's time For muslims
to start to, say all, right all, right so what
do what you? Want i'm Gonna i'm gonna do WHAT

(32:10):
i gotta, do.

Speaker 25 (32:11):
Because that's it's it's about time to do.

Speaker 35 (32:13):
That AND i know everybody has their own families and
has an education and.

Speaker 25 (32:19):
Everything just a.

Speaker 35 (32:21):
Question we don't want to get, doxed and we don't
want to get, suspended and we don't want to get.

Speaker 25 (32:25):
Arrested how gangster are?

Speaker 1 (32:28):
You that's just my.

Speaker 7 (32:29):
Question how much are you willing to do?

Speaker 35 (32:31):
It AND i know everyone has their own risk, levels
but at the end of the, day that's a question
to ask. Ourselves how committed AM i to? This how
to what extent of my personal material gains AM i
willing to sacrifice for this, bigger no noble? Cause and
it's kind of. LOVE i truly believe that when your

(32:52):
heart is in the.

Speaker 25 (32:52):
Right, place.

Speaker 35 (32:54):
If you get, suspended if you get, docks because it's
bound to happen when you're doing a righteous. Cause and
when you're doing something for the sake of a, love
well here in The, west it will never ever be in.
Vain and the true believer does not fear, that because
the true believer knows that THE a is a.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
Promise that is an intern staffer for The New york
mayoral candidates or on, Mom, donnie and yes you heard her.
Correctly she said this is all about. Jihad how gangster are?

on what happened yesterday In, Camarillo. California there was another
clash and quite, frankly these are getting to be. Old
people are getting sick and tired of seeing this. Nonsense
but another clash BETWEEN ice agents who are trying to
basically raid a marijuana farm in an illegal immigration, suite

(37:54):
which is what their job.

Speaker 16 (37:56):
Is it's called federal law.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
Enforcement immigration agents ended upon this farming, camio blocking off
a road outside the, facility but clashing with. Protesters The
Glasshouse farms green a greenhouse complex On Laguna, road is
one of the largest licensed cannabis farms In, california with
more than five million square feet of growing space and
at the scene yellow crime scene TAPE Us border patrol

(38:20):
marking stretched Across Laguna, road and on one side stood
what appeared to be masked and armed federal. Agents on
the other side a crowd of hundreds of people of
mass taunting the, agents, yelling, exploitives and trying to obstruct their,
work their, investigation and their and their sweep borders are

(38:42):
And Chief Deportation Task Force Officer Tom holman was On
fox this morning talking about his reaction to what he saw.

Speaker 36 (38:50):
Yesterday my raction is the same As ben from day.
One you, know people are walking to protests to have
their first memory of rights grew. Up they can't cross that.
Line they can't impede its from doing our. Job that's a.
Felony they certainly can't put arms put hands on an.
Agent that's a. Felony so what happened In california is
just another example of protesters becoming. Criminals and they've been

(39:14):
emboldened by even members Of congress who Compare ice To
nazis and races and. TERRORISTS i, mean the rhetoric is so,
high AND i said two months ago is going to
end up with a loss of, life and we had
one the other day In texas and it's not. OVER i,
mean the rhetoric has to. END ice agents are simply
enforcing the law that members Of congress, enacted that they,

(39:35):
wrote they, created and was signed By. President if people
want to complain about the JOB ice is doing, it
go complain To congress because we're enforcing the laws they.
Enacted we're doing our.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
Job it's exactly, correct by the, way and of course
the loss of life In, texas you, know we recall
A Border patrol agent was injured and the attacker was
indeed killed in that. Effort but what happened In, camarillo,
again the left is freaking out and saying this is
overreach and. AUTHORITARIANISM i don't know how enforcing do As

(40:04):
Tom holman just he points us out on every one
of his Hits congress passed. Laws we are have been
hired to enforce those. Laws we are Not. Nazis we
are not in any, way shape or form. Responsible they
happen to, agree by the, way with what they're, doing
because those laws should have been, passed but we're not
responsible for the decisions.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Made we just have.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
To carry out the legal acts that we are told to,
do and that is exactly what they are. Doing and
it's bringing out the protesters trying to cause more. Death
they'd make no mistake about. It they would prefer the
deaths BE ice, Agents border patrol agents and. Others but
the more, death the more they can then complain and, say,
see this is being driven by The trump. Administration example

(40:51):
B Los Angeles Mayor Karen bass at her town hall

good morning. Too Once again i'm bob brand Sitting. In
for jimmy It is the It, is a friday the
eleventh morning of, the seventh month in The Year, of
our lord, twenty twenty five and you just heard some.
Of the coverage we are just two days away, from
the anniversary the one year anniversary of The Attempt on
president trump's life when he Was campaigning In Butler in

(50:18):
july july thirteenth. Of last year there are still more
questions and answers about the attempt. On His life thomas
crooks is the individual who was. On the roof was he?
The only shooter you just heard a theory from a
documentarian who says there was definitely, a second shooter and

(50:38):
it's been known.

Speaker 16 (50:39):
Since last Year this is i'm just going to be
blunt if.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
That is true the cover ups of, the Federal government
and i'm using, that word plurally the cover ups are
simply out of control because this was, an extraordinary event
an extraordinary. Moment in time Not Only did president, trump
rise up he News her dewayn all when we were

(51:03):
talking about rising up with the fifth and a lot
of people feel like the attempt on his life won,
him the election which, changes the, course Quite frankly. Of
american history it does everything that is going on right
now would be Not There if donald trump had not,
Won The Election if kamala harris was President Of, the
united states it's. A different country it's, a different, world

(51:24):
quite frankly and literally the future of history. Is changed
here so we. Deserve the truth why do we continue
to have cover ups of Things like. The epstein files
why do we continue to have cover ups over the
autopen Scandal and the biden. Cognitive decline scandal his doctor

(51:44):
was Just called to congress two days ago and was
ordered to answer questions about what he knew and was
he ordered To Lie about joe biden's mental acuity and
fitness fourteen times while Being. Questioned by congress he. Took
the fifth he took the fifth in a, non criminal trial. Non,
criminal investigation rather if it's a non criminal investigation and

(52:07):
somebody is taking the fists so they, don't incriminate themselves
it sounds like there should be. A criminal investigation and
now we continue to have this was there a second
shooter and what do we know about?

Speaker 16 (52:17):
The first shooter what do You Know.

Speaker 4 (52:18):
About thomas crooks we know that his home was completely
scrubbed and sanitized before any real investigation. Could be done
we know his body was cremated before it could be
tested for toxicology reports to find out what he was
on and, what he, was you know perhaps if he
had been drugged or anything else that they might be
able to. Tell about him all we know is that
he was on a roof about a pitch, a pitch

(52:40):
away about, a you know a, short you know nine
iron Away from the President Of, the united states And
There was secret service, on the scene, six of whom,
by the, way were, suspended not.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
Fired just suspended we found that out.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
Yesterday as well for failing to, secure the area and
we're having no more. Investigations Of this cover ups are always,
worse THAN crimes and i feel there are far too
many cover ups going.

Are you we're, Great.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
THANKS very much chris i want to talk about. This
FROM two fronts as i, mentioned in the intro let's
talk about, what that moment did a lot Of People
feel like president trump's, rise from that day as or
that podium or that riser on which he was shot
with his fist in, the, air and fight fight fight.
Won him the election, you, AGREE.

Speaker 20 (59:04):
With that well i think. It cemented his victory it.
CRYSTALLIZED and, changed everything, i mean you know if, you
think about it That assassination attempt on trump coming up
on one year, was a seminal moment not only in,
the twenty four election but really in the. History of,
OUR country you know i believe it was a crystallizing

(59:28):
moment for the center and the, left of center voters
those who maybe we're not Going to vote for trump or.
We're thinking about it it absolutely drove Home The thought
that donald, trump with those voters with, everybody in the
country it drove Home The thought that donald trump Was Unfairly,

(59:48):
hunted By President biden the justice department with, those RIDICULOUS,
criminal charges the fbi with raids On His, home in
mari lago by. The media and more and whether or
not you believe that the government was behind The Assassination.
Attempt of Donald trump it crystallized trump. That He was

(01:00:09):
hunted and, trump's reaction, getting up fight fight fight was was.
The stuff of legend so. Absolutely that did that And
eight days. Later biden bowed, out and You know, we watched,
harris cackle you know with with brilliant comments like the
community bank. Is in, the community you know she, was

(01:00:30):
A brilliant candidate, but trump was better and it was something.
That changed absolutely everything.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Marry, those things together chris if you could all of
the things that you just pointed out about trying to
take him down with the, law fair you know they,
tried to bankrupt him they, tried to jail him and
then they eventually, tried to kill him but they would
be a larger government. Agency or, government Organization This, kid
this thomas crooks was not, a part of? That or
was he can you marry. Those two things together what

(01:00:59):
do we? Know about him today say that we didn't.

Speaker 20 (01:01:00):
Know a, year, AGO you know look i, don't know
about that but as somebody who has worked over a
dozen presidential events, AT the highest level i mean we're
talking about seven. To ten days. Out you begin meetings
you're there with, every single secret service, whether it's you
know and they break it. Up with, a rival every

(01:01:20):
event every. Movement of the President You're There with, white
house COMMUNICATION. Staff they're called waka you're, THERE with other events.
I mean advanced people you're, there with, Local Police. County
police secret service you go on. And on and on
i'm telling you that there's no way possible That that

(01:01:42):
roof that crooks gained access to could. Have been left,
unattended that's. An absolute total impossibility we're talking. About the
recent report oh there's the you know the these secret
service agents are. Going to be suspended there were issues. With,
roans and communication no that roof one hundred, and thirty

(01:02:05):
yards away it is an absolute impossibility. That it wasn't
manned that's not about. A lack of manpower it's not about.
A lack of communication, that is. A stunning stunning omission there's,
no way that happened well except for it, was meant

(01:02:28):
to happen that that. Roof was not manned crooks. Gained,
Access to it now i'm not going to. GET into anything,
else i don't. Know we don't know we know more
about the guy who shot the healthcare executive in twenty
four hours Than We, know about, thomas crooks his, movement
his cell phones and every single thing he's. Done his

(01:02:49):
entire life we knew More, about that guy luigi you
know homeboys up there with his. GoFundMe and all that
we know more about him in twenty four. Hours than
we do. Crooks think of that i'm telling You what
happened in butler was a travesty. And It changed everything
donald trump, was at that point whether we, knew it
or not cemented. As the next president he. Was a,

(01:03:12):
brilliant candidate after that it also brought about a bunch
OF young voters who i believe maybe maybe. Weren't going
to vote. We're thinking about it but when he got
shot and he was, a very good candidate and He,
was all, over instagram you know with the McDonald's and
the garbage truck and, everything that was entertaining it opened

(01:03:34):
the door for a bunch of Voters. Who voted for
trump that surprised us, All on election night but that.
Moment changed it all it Cemented And crystallized that donald
trump was unfairly hunted. And everybody Knew.

Speaker 4 (01:11:51):
Right we continue now A Six thirty seven bop Brands.
Sitting in for jimmy. Good morning to you so apparently
for some taking no for an answer. Is Not an
option Brooke Rollins Is the United. States secretary of agriculture
she made a very very direct statement a couple of
days ago in Response To rumors that president trump might

(01:12:11):
be considering some sort of. Amnesty for, migrant, workers she
said no there will be. No amnesty at all she
was very direct and. Very clear about that yet here
we Are this Morning With axios reporting president trump's face
is on high alert over his mixed messages the way
they describe them on protections, for some undocumented workers warning

(01:12:34):
that any form of amnesty would.

Speaker 16 (01:12:35):
Violate A red line.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Magazines trump's promise of mass.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
Deportations as non negotiable any attempt to water down the
administration's immigration crackdown risks alienating his most. Loyal and fervent
Supporters Right wing, PODCASTER jack posovic said maga is. Always
on amnesty watch it, will not move forward no matter
what name anyone. Tries to call it they all. Have
to go home mega influencers had been grumbling for days,

(01:13:04):
over the muddied rhetoric But the dam burst Monday When
PODCASTER and Turning Point usa founder charlie kirk warned of
a plot by the ruling class to implement some sort.

Speaker 16 (01:13:14):
Of mass amnesty plan we talked about this some yesterday with.

Speaker 4 (01:13:18):
The President Of the texas farm, bureau about you know
what this would mean for farmers who do need. A
lot of workers and, no one is, suggesting to my
understanding no one is suggesting that foreign workers cannot, come here,
and work you know for some of our farmers in.
That very important industry but they have. To be here
legally they have to apply for a work visa to

(01:13:40):
come here and, indeed go to work and there's no.
Problem with that whatsoever but it is of course the
illegal status that, as people saying no this is this
is not. Something That Is acceptable but tuesday, rollin said
no amnesty but others who read between the lines there
said there is a narrative in the next couple of
months that it could be could be, the reality of

(01:14:03):
this that it won't, be called an amnesty but there
will be some sort of carve out for migrant farm
workers who are so crucial to the you know that.
That important farming industry so we'll have to keep our
eye on and. See where it goes but apparently no
amnesty is not something that people are willing to accept
as enough evidence that the mass deportations will not be with. Quote,

(01:14:27):
exceptions in, place okay six.

Released Into THE sky Well President trump's, epa ADMINISTRATOR lee
zelden says the epa is going. To Release everything they know.

Speaker 15 (01:19:36):
Concerned americans have urgent and important.

Speaker 42 (01:19:39):
Questions About geoengineering and contrails the american public deserves and
expects honesty and transparency from. Their government when, seeking answers
but for years people who ask questions, in good faith
were dismissed even vilified by the.

Speaker 15 (01:19:59):
Me and their own.

Speaker 42 (01:20:01):
Government That ERA is over the trump epa. Is committed to,
TOTAL transparency as a result I tasked my team at
epa to compile a list of everything we know about
contrails and geoengineering for.

Speaker 15 (01:20:20):
The purpose of releasing.

Speaker 42 (01:20:21):
It to you, NOW publicly in other words i WANT
you to know everything, i know about these. Topics and
without any exception instead of simply dismissing these questions, and
concerns as baseless conspiracies.

Speaker 15 (01:20:40):
Were meeting them.

Speaker 42 (01:20:41):
Head, on we did the, legwork looked at, the science
consulted agency experts and pulled in relevant outside information to.
Put these online resources together everything we know about contrails
to solar. Geoengineering will be in there that means anyone

(01:21:03):
who reads through this information will know as MUCH about
these TOPICS as. I do as epa administrator to anyone
who's ever looked up to the streaks in the sky
and asked what, the heck is going on or seeing
headlines about private actors and even governments looking to blot
out the sun in the, name of stopping global warming

(01:21:25):
we've endeavored to answer all of your questions at.

Speaker 15 (01:21:29):
The links, ON your screen in.

Speaker 42 (01:21:31):
Fact epa shares many of the same concerns when it
comes to potential threats to, human.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Health and the.

Speaker 15 (01:21:38):
Environment.

Speaker 42 (01:21:40):
Especially from solar geoengineering activities the enthusiasm for experiments that
would pump pollutants into the high atmosphere has set off
Alarm BELLS. Here at the, TRUMP epa prior to now
epa has never been this proactive to raise awareness about
concerns with geoengineering.

Speaker 15 (01:22:02):
And to stop this.

Speaker 42 (01:22:03):
Activity from being scaled up this is what it looks
like when government actually listens to the will of the
people and. Doesn't try to squash it you can always
TRUST this administration and this epa, to take your concerns,
seriously answer your questions honestly and carry out the.

Speaker 15 (01:22:25):
Will of, Voters with integrity.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):

feet is what, they have of growing, space not five hundred. Acres,
five million square feet anyway agents showed up there and
they were greeted by protesters. Who did more than. Protests
this is A problem listen to some now this Is
a television coverage and, i'm LOOKING at a video but
i think radio will still suffice here as they describe

(01:33:31):
what is happening to these federal vehicles that are pulling up.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
Here to conduct this.

Speaker 39 (01:33:36):
Raid this Is, happening at wood and laguna and you
now see the military vehicles advancing despite those protesters trying
to make a stance and trying to stop.

Speaker 25 (01:33:47):
The military vehicle from.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
Continuing protesters are blocking, the road and retreating slowly and
they're All wrapped in Or wearing. Mexican or carrying mexican
flags they're not just standing. In front of the vehicle
they are sticking the, flag poles in the wheels trying
to get the wheels to stop of these military vehicles
as they come there to do their.

Speaker 39 (01:34:06):
Jobs forward and now these the people are moving away
from in, front of that military vehicle. Which is a
good thing we don't want. To, see anyone get hurt unfortunately.

Speaker 16 (01:34:20):
It got worse from there.

Speaker 15 (01:34:24):
Take a look.

Speaker 39 (01:34:24):
At this video right here it appears a protester fired
some kind. Of gun at federal. Agents this happened this
afternoon it was a really. Chaotic scene at the time
a lot of smoke was, being launched at the protesters
and again it appears a protester.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
Fired back with that weapon.

Speaker 4 (01:34:39):
These are not protesters when they are committing violent, acts
against federal law enforcement which Is Why Borders Are And
Chief Deportation task force officer tom homan was asked about.

Speaker 16 (01:34:50):
His reaction to those events.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
My Reaction is the same.

Speaker 36 (01:34:55):
As ben, from day one you know people are walcome
to protests ahead the. First member rights grew up. They
can't cross that line they can't impede. Its from doing.
Our job that's a felony they certainly can't put arms.
Put hands on. An agent that's a Felony so what
happened in california is just another, example of protestions becoming
criminals and they've been Emboldened by even MEMBERS of Congress

(01:35:18):
who compare ice to. NAZIS and, races and terrorists i mean,
the RHETORIC is so high and i said two months
ago is going to end up, with a loss of
life and we had One the other day in. TEXAS and,
it's not over i mean. THE rhetoric has to end
ice agents are simply enforcing The law that members are,
congress inacted, that they wrote they Created. And was signed

(01:35:39):
by president if people want TO complain about, the, job
ice is Doing it go complain to congress because we're.
Enforcing the laws they enacted we're doing our job.

Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
Is exactly what. He's supposed to do it, it is
beyond protesting. Now it is criminal activity and what he
said about it BEING embolden and Encouraged by uh members.
Of congress is exactly correct they Continue, To call the
agents Nazis they. Continue to call trump hitler They continue
to wave their mexican flags while proclaiming that they want
To Stay. Here in the united states But rather, than

(01:36:09):
waving the american flag they Burn it. And wave the
mexican flag somebody is going to have. To Make That
make sense but tom holman is not going. To stop
doing his job NEITHER are, any of the ice agents no.
Matter what dangers they face but something has to. Be,
done about, The rhetoric okay seven. Eleven now let's do.

the thirteenth will be the one year Anniversary Of the,
attempt on president trump's life and You've heard a number
of we had an interview about this a little bit
Earlier On, this morning with chris pagala and you've heard
some of the newscast cuts from the maker Of, A

(01:42:39):
Documentary About? Killing Trump what really happened ed morrissey is
a political commentator who wrote this this morning about The
News yesterday that six Secret service agents from the. Butler
attack have been? Suspended, What? Took so long right zed
this seems like a very strange. Moment to feel this

(01:43:00):
discipline and that's not the only eye. Raising timing issue
in play it's been nearly a year since a local
law enforcement sniper ended the threat by, killing the would
be assassin and yet we still know. Next To Nothing
About him the New york times finally documented crook's dissent
into madness. On its own last month but we've heard
next to nothing from official sources as to whether evidence

(01:43:23):
of other motives may exist. Or may have been explored
the families of the victims want answers to. And they
aren't getting any the families are also linked by their
frustration about the communication And Security failures of the secret
service and lingering Questions As, far as the secret service
you failed my brother, and you failed. Our family said

(01:43:45):
comparatory meter so.

Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
This is a.

Speaker 4 (01:43:49):
Very, troubling time right now again there seems to be
a lot of questions and, a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:43:53):
OF you know criminal.

Speaker 4 (01:43:56):
Situations i don't Know How, else to describe epstein island
but the criminal situations that in which. We are not
getting answers investigations are coming up with nothing, or they
are shut down and we're Supposed, To be satisfied with
hey epstein didn't kill himself and, there is No Client
list and six secret service agents were suspended And The,
soul shooter was thomas crooks and. That's the end of

(01:44:17):
it we're supposed, to just, accept these things, you KNOW
on face value and i don't think. THAT'S doing us
any favors i don't. Think it's doing the. Administration Any,
failure FAVORS either selena zito who i understand is Going
to Be, on with jimmy on monday, the day after

(01:45:01):
killed and he's, calling, a reporter to say. Hope, you
guys are okay sorry. We couldn't, Do The interview. IT'S
remarkable selena zito said i wasn't quite sure, how TO
respond to THAT so i did something i rarely, do
in a casual conversation let alone when. TALKING with a

certain days that we can. See the contrails from planes
the temperatures have to be a certain they have to
the planes have to, be at a certain height temperatures
have to be, a CERTAIN you know temperature and i,
don't know what, it, is but it's very very very inconsistent,

(01:55:09):
when we can see contrails which is why some people
look up and. Say They're spraying us again so i've
Asked you, to use THE iHeart app, the free i
heeart app to use The talkback feature that sky mike,
makes so much use of tell me your thoughts on
the idea. Of contrails or kem trails and We've got
This one From This, Is bob from spring branch and

(01:55:34):
unfortunately that isn't, going to work, that way so hold
on we're going. TO try it another way i want
to make sure that YOU can hear this because i
think this is fun to use.

Speaker 16 (01:55:40):
These little talk. Back toys Here we Go.

Speaker 44 (01:55:46):
This. Is robert in spring, BRANCH some twenty years Ago
i was in A yahoo group called keem trails and
there was a lot of comments about what, it was
and technical ports and it got shut. DOWN suddenly by
the government a. LOT of comments about That I firmly

(01:56:07):
believe in kim. Trail's, AND what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:56:09):
YEAH i don't know, if I do OR not but.

Speaker 4 (01:56:11):
I know i have QUESTIONS i don't know THAT i
have answers that i think we're absolutely. BEING sprayed by
SOME chemicals i don't, know I would say that but.
I would ASK the questions and, until i get the,
answers they'll remain. You know bothersome to Me And that's
something that, leez eldon, is attempting to you, know put
a you know put, a, lid on by saying look
we're going TO give you everything the epa has on
anything having to do again. With geoengineering and, Chemical trails

(01:56:35):

i understand one hundred and seventy or so. Or so are, still,
missing can you speak sir to not only, the tragedy
for the families but obviously what everybody is focusing on.
Right now is preventive strategies what have we learned from

(02:01:01):
what has happened, in the last five days, because people
are you know anytime there's, a tragedy or a disaster
people are looking for fingers or places to.

Speaker 2 (02:01:10):
Point.

Speaker 16 (02:01:10):
Their, fingers of blame.

Speaker 45 (02:01:12):
YEAH well, first of, all i, mean we're obviously you
Know proud to have, the president Come. JOIN today come
to kerrville i, look forward to seeing him, seeing the,
first lady visiting you know more with families and. With
people on the ground i've been down on the ground.
Most of the, LAST week and you know i. Mean we're.
TALKING about people you know i was Sitting At a

(02:01:33):
house where samaritan's, purse was doing, some work getting, mud
out cleaning it up sitting. Way up on a cliff
and this is going. To get to your question this
cliff was way. WAY up over the river, i don't
have any feet but they're walking me through what happened
that night, and the water coming up and it came
up so fast and it was like fifteen feet, below
the level they're watching and they go get ready to.

(02:01:53):
Think about needing to leave and by the time they
just got their stuff put, together in a few minutes
the water was, already laping at the door, and then
they got out but then the house, dex door was
swept away and there was a father sitting over there
who still hasn't found, the body of his son who
had called him at four o'clock in the morning as,
the water was rushing in and he was, trying to
help two girls and then a massive tree came in

(02:02:14):
AND hit the house and. I think took them out
and that was the last time. That FATHER talked to
him and, i Visited with that. Dad and god bless him.
He was prayerful and thoughtful and, that's what we're dealing
with a once. In a century type event these are trees,
that were huge and massive that have been there for a,
long time for a reason because they hadn't had this
kind of a flood. That came in back quickly all

(02:02:34):
of the finger pointing, is ABSURD and it's political and
i appreciate the governor saying that. Blame game is For,
losers we're winners in texas and we're going to figure
out to move forward and get.

Speaker 2 (02:02:43):
This all addressed and fixed can there?

Speaker 45 (02:02:45):
BE a better alert, system i mean probably possibly. We'll
go talk about, that we'll work on that particularly. The
state and local officials but let's also remember that it was.
Four o'clock, in the morning in fact one of my
friends that has kids that, go to my, kids school
they were. There a bunch of them there was about
thirty people between kids and parents there and they had

(02:03:06):
to ride out the storm on the top of a
one room schoolhouse from the hunt for three hours because
they barely were able. To get everybody awaken, up and
they were. Awake they saw the water they saw the water,
fifteen or twenty feet below and it rushed in so
quickly that they had to mobilize. Just to save their.
Lives so that's what happened it happened. At four, in
the morning it's terrible and we got to figure out how.

Speaker 2 (02:03:29):
We can always do.

Speaker 45 (02:03:29):
Better but stop pointing fingers, this is A terrible event
like an f.

Speaker 2 (02:03:33):
Five tornado type of.

Speaker 4 (02:03:34):
Thing that's very Well Said We're talking to, congressman ship
roy and yes improvements for future you know events is
obviously what, people are looking for here or at least they,
should be looking for here can YOU, speak to funding
for fema or is personnel or anything. Else, that might
be lacking again that's kind of, part of the finger
pointing but MORE it's geared toward is fema ready for

(02:03:55):
this and how?

Speaker 2 (02:03:56):
And, what do they need well let's.

Speaker 45 (02:03:58):
Just, be very clear, Last friday, a week ago july
fourth when this became. Clear how bad it was and
that was early to me because all of my friends,
And FAMILY on the ground like I spend every Fourth
Of july On the quadum loop.

Speaker 2 (02:04:10):
IN cerville with my family.

Speaker 45 (02:04:12):
I KNOW the people there and i was on the
PHONE with the sheriff and i was, on the phone
to EVERYBODY and the first word i got From The
head Of The texas, department, of emergency management. Said hey
feder being helpful we need a little Bit Of.

Speaker 2 (02:04:22):
Help With the.

Speaker 45 (02:04:22):
Army corps army corps engineers PICKED up The phone. And
i called secretary's office she called me back. IN less
than fifteen minutes i, think it was, ten minutes and,
she said whatever. You need you got it and they
got on the phone, And they got that moving, they
got fixed wing aircraft they got everybody mobilized. As fast as,
humanly possible and were there, and The Governor said That
The texas department, of emergency management said that the locals

(02:04:44):
said that. They were on the ground they were already.
There before the disaster declaration the disaster declaration got Done,
very quickly by the president AND, THEN, you immediately had
fbi fema all the emergency folks got swiftly into act.
Because they were already there so this has all been
a very good, operation, coordination BETWEEN the local state and feds.

(02:05:07):
AND then, everything, going forward i mean look the question
about the alert system. IS not one about funding i
mean there was funding state and. Local and all that
stuff it's about operations and about doing it and having.

Speaker 2 (02:05:17):
Locals buy into.

Speaker 45 (02:05:19):
Doing it that's the thing And So the people of
kirk county they're going to have to kind of wrestle
with what.

Speaker 2 (02:05:24):
Do they, Want what Works personally me i'd have noah.

Speaker 45 (02:05:28):
Radios in, all the, camps i'd have you know something
that's a slightly better kind of old school.

Speaker 2 (02:05:33):
Slash new school alert system.

Speaker 45 (02:05:35):
BUT let's be very clear i know people who woke
up to alerts on their phones and the flood happened
so quickly that they barely were able.

Speaker 2 (02:05:44):
To get their families moving so that's one of those things.

Speaker 45 (02:05:47):
Like a tornado seeking shelter it's like there is a
limit to What humanity, can do against mother nature and
so we just need to figure out how to structure
it to be.

Speaker 2 (02:05:55):
The Best, WE possibly can.

Speaker 4 (02:05:58):
Congress mnroy i know the family there and the people
that you've spoken to are greatly appreciate. View AND your
