This is huge Radio seven KATRH Houston.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Live everywhere with them.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Now the latest news, weather, and it's more of what
matters to you from the John Morris Services Studios.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
I missed an hour of sleep and I don't care.
Good Morning's four am here on Houston's Morning News. Yes,
four am. I'm Jimmy Barrett along with Sheriff Fryar. We're
here early because Trump won and you know it, Cruz
easily beat already and coming up at five to eight.
The economy trumped every other issue. Details in the minutes
ahead here in Houston's Morning News. First, let's check out

(00:38):
that morning drive for the first time, sky Mike. Is
there anybody else out there celebrating?

Speaker 5 (00:42):
I think so.

Speaker 6 (00:43):
I could have swore I heard some fireworks this morning.
All right, let them I did too. I thought I
heard fireworks somewhere. All right, let's look around on the
north side. I got my ghetto house all lit up celebrating,
and we're looking at forty five north coming off the
Hardy Toll Road. Looks good all the way to the
that's pretty much slinky time.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
This way all around the freeways rock.

Speaker 6 (01:05):
Just for fun, we'll check those ship channel bridges at
the fort ten break and the Generator Supercenter dot Com.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Traffic Center from r KTRH top tax devenders twenty four
hour weather center. Part of the cloudy, very warm today
with the high temperature right about eighty two. We'll get
the Weather Channel forecast from Terry Smith in about nine minutes.
Temperature right now is sixty seven at your official severe
weather station. News Radio seven forty k t RH. It
is time down for the news. Here's Sheriff Ryer.

Speaker 7 (01:31):
Well, good morning everyone. It's now four oh one on
news radio seven forty k t RH. Our top story
this hour. Yeah, that was the mood in Florida's Donald
Trump retakes the White House and we'll become the forty
seventh president of the United States in January.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
We're going to.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Help our country. Heill gonna help our country.

Speaker 8 (01:59):
Hill.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
We have a country that needs help.

Speaker 7 (02:03):
Trump winning several swing states, including Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and
North Carolina. He took Texas by a whopping fourteen points.
As for the Trump opponent, radio silence from Kamala Harris,
So you won't.

Speaker 9 (02:17):
Hear from the Vice president tonight, but you will hear
from her tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (02:25):
Yeah. Advisors Cedric Richmond. She apparently has not yet even
made a phone call, which is what is typically done
to concede the gracious reaction. The reaction for the left
was exactly what we thought it would be.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Now that hurts.

Speaker 10 (02:43):
They thought tomorrow morning they're going to walk out with
their shoulders back a little bit. They'll be able to
breathe for the first time and feel like they belonged someplace.
They did everything that they knew how to do, and
it's going to be harder than it should be to
mark them to hold their heads up.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
CNN's Van Jones near to tears talking about the liberal left.
Wall Street likes how the election has played out. Futures
jump by eight hundred points when Trump was declared the winner,
now up by more than a thousand just as of
about thirty minutes ago.

Speaker 11 (03:15):
The influences of a Schumer, a Pelosi, or a movie
star or an Obama deciding to anoy somebody, those guys
are gone.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
Shark tanks. Kevin O'Leary on Fox News, good riddance. Four
to three is our time. Mainstream media claimed it would
be close. Ted Cruz, Nope, he kind of swept into
a third term in the US Senate.

Speaker 12 (03:39):
Income, but US Senator Ted Cruz is retaining his seat
in the Senate after easily defeating Democratic challenger Colin Allred
by more than one million votes. The enormous amount of
money spent by Democrats to try and flip the seat
was not enough.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
The people of Texas have spoken.

Speaker 13 (03:56):
And their message rings clear as a bell across our
great state. Texas will remain Texas.

Speaker 12 (04:05):
Cruis ten point victory rule results in his third term
as a Senator in Washington. Charet Lewis News Radio seven
to forty teach R H.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
And nationally, Republicans have flipped the Senate thanks to Bernie
Moreno's win in Ohio over the incumbent Democrat Senator share
it Or Sharad Brown.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Today starts a new wave. You know, we talked about
wanting a red wave.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I think what we have tonight is a red, white,
and blue wave.

Speaker 7 (04:32):
Republicans also flipped West Virginia Democrat Joe Mansion seat. Republican
Jim Justice won that seat, replacing the retiring Joe Mansion.
Balance of power in the House still over in the
air at this hour. Republicans are leading already with nearly
two hundred seats and it's looking good. Trump said in
his speech that they will retain the House. It is

(04:55):
now four four. Some drama here though. In a major
local race this.

Speaker 14 (04:59):
Morning, Democrat Shawn Tier is leading but has not yet
beaten Republican Dan Simon and the race to become Harris
County DA. Ten Republicans are currently leading Democrat judges and
district court races. Sheriff At Gonzalez beats Mike Knox in
the race for Harris County Sheriff, while Sheila Jackson Lee's daughter,
Erica Lee Carter wins the special election to finish the

(05:20):
rest of her term. Former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner will
replace her in January. Jackson Lee died in July. Cliff
Saunders News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
Only of the precincts have reported yet in Harris County,
so a couple of these races, including tax assessor collector,
still up in the air. Race of note, though, over
in Fort Benk County Precinct three, Commissioner Andy Myers is
leading to Ral Patel, who has been indicted nine times
for a social media fake racism hoax. Otherwise, it looks

(05:52):
like the Dems are keeping their hold pretty much on
Fort Bank County politics. It is now for five vote
counting could drag on for days. Actually, it's raising concerns
among voters. Yeah, voter unrest, you think. Political analyst Anthony
Russo says some swing states are the worst offenders.

Speaker 15 (06:13):
When you're actually looking at stuff like this, or machines
aren't working in deep red counties and they're extending voting
time until ten pm. There's obviously going to be some suspicion,
and the longer it takes to find a winner, just
the more danger as it become.

Speaker 7 (06:26):
In Arizona once again, the state's largest county, warns it
could take up to two weeks that's Maricopa to count
the votes. Meantime, the defences are already up around the
White House and other sites in DC to prevent possible
post election violence. This election cycle the most divisive in
modern history. So will we finally see some unity in

(06:46):
the country.

Speaker 16 (06:48):
Unfortunately, the political temperature won't come down overnight.

Speaker 17 (06:51):
I think it's going to take a minute for the
temperature to just turn down organically. In the short term,
I think we're unlikely to really see anything.

Speaker 16 (06:58):
Political strategist Chris Johnson KTRH, the left makes too much
money off the division for it to just disappear.

Speaker 17 (07:04):
Democrats generally outraised Republicans two to one. A lot of
it is from social media, where they go out there
and they say something inflammatory and it raises a ton
of money.

Speaker 16 (07:12):
Johnson says that at the end of the day, big
issues like the border and the economy are bipartisan, and
focusing on solutions should help bring the country together. Ethan
Buchanan News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (07:23):
It's now for seven. Hurricane Raphael on track to enter
the Gulf of Mexico eighty five mill an hour. Wins
uncertainty though to the track system expected to weaken, and
we'll have more with a weather channel in a few
minutes here on Houston's Morning News and the Rockets hosting
the Spurs tonight pregame at six on Sports Talk seven
to ninety, recapping our top story at four seven, Donald

(07:43):
Trump wins the presidency over Kamala Harris. Swing states Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia,
and North Carolina going to Trump. Michigan, Arizona, Nevada still out. Trump, however,
so far, is also taking the popular vote nationwide over
Kamala Harris. I'm Sheriff Fryar and Houston's news, weather and

(08:04):
traffic station News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Wow, welcome to this, Welcome to the know. People have
the right to know, to know what else, stay in
the know.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Note with US Radio seven forty Ktrhy're feeling pretty good
this morning.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
How are you feeling, Sheriff Riar, You're feeling all right.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Yeah, my eyes are a little bit heavy. You know,
I've been going on steam for the last month.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Really, you're sleeping. You're sleeping, but you don't care, do you? No, No, no,
not at all.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
We I can't sleep. My eyelids are heavy, but I
can't see because my heart's raising.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
We're running on adrenaline this morning. We're off to an
early start, and I'm glad that we're off to an
early start. The results we had, I hate to think
I lost an hour sleep. You have to sit here
and moan, to sit here and moaning grown about how
things turned out.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
Well, Michigan's still up in the air.

Speaker 18 (08:54):
Jimmy, don't need it, don't need it.

Speaker 7 (08:58):
And it's Detroit. That's the biggest drawback, as of.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Course, But did you see that Mike Rogers, who's the
Republican running for Senate there is is well ahead in
that race. So it's looking like there's another Senate seat
that's going to switch.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
Yeah, they're looking at a whole bunch.

Speaker 18 (09:14):
It's it's really quite amazing.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
They think.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
Maybe one thing to say about that, because we've been
down this road before this but not if this comes
to pass, if we end up controlling the White House,
the Senate, and the House of Representatives. This has happened before.
It's happened for Republicans, It's happened for Democrats.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
A different group of Republicans.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
In the last time the Republicans had this opportunity, they
didn't do anything with.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
It because they had Mitch McConnell in charge exactly.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
So let's let's see Paul Ryan. Let's hope that we
have an entirely different outcome. Here's an opportunity, here's a
mandate to make America great again. Let's follow the mandate.
I know that Trump will deliver on the promises. Congress
needs to deliver on the promises as well.

Speaker 19 (09:58):
Well.

Speaker 7 (09:58):
Republican Rhinos are mag is in.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah. For today though, I think we just enjoy this
a little bit. We'll enjoy it a little bit.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
We'll share some oil over when I see good people
who ran legitimately win and not be cheated out of
their victory.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah, wouldn't that be something A Shawn Tear didn't win
his or race. Wouldn't that be something What kind of
message do you think that would be sending to Harris
County as it comes to crime in finding crime?

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Well, I think that's a long shot. But you know,
I live in a neighborhood in a district that is
solidly and the rat nail is control. So well, there
you go.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
They'll be putting out the black drapes in your neighborhood today,
won't they.

Speaker 7 (10:38):
I've got no one who represents me.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Well, you got you, that's for sure. Four eleven. All right,
we'll get to the economic stuff there. I kind of
go off track. We'll plenty of time talk about all
this stuff. First, though, Let's talk about the drive, which
should be fun for a lot of folks this morning.

Speaker 18 (10:52):
Ste Mike.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if anything's any different
this morning, or if some people, other people besides us
work all night last night. Let's go to the hard
work in east side. Let's put your red, white and
blue hard hats on and check out the Heartman Bridge.
It looks nice so far. Baytown we are looking like America.
Both ways between Baytown and Laporte looks good. Toll Bridge

(11:15):
Rock and long, full speed ahead both ways here and
the Sydney Sherman Bridge.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
I could swear here fire works again.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
Sherman Bridge six ' ten from the bud plant to
to twenty five.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Nothing to slow you down. So far. We're incident free
on the mainland freeways.

Speaker 20 (11:29):
Rock.

Speaker 6 (11:29):
I'm sky Mike, gets your generator, supercenter, dot com traffic
sent up.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
And I on those bridges for despondent Democrats this morning,
if you would. From our Katra top tax Defenders twenty
four hour weather center. Here's the update on the forecast,
courtesy of Terry Smith.

Speaker 21 (11:42):
Well, we've got a break of the rain today, but
it doesn't last long. The rain returns tomorrow and that
possibility of wet weather through the weekend. A mix of
sun and clouds today, low eighties tomorrow and Friday, a
forty percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. I'm meteorologist Terry
Smith from the weather.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Chair right now, sixty six here at your official severe
weather station. News Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Sherah with the
info you need to take on the day.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, we're here early. We don't mind a bit sharing
election returns results with you. I mentioned a little bit
earlier that I think last night proved that it really
was about the economy. I don't know if you saw
any of the Fox News voter analytics that they had
going on the thousands of people they had surveyed before
the election, of what their top concerns were, thirty nine

(12:37):
percent said the economy. That was the next one was
immigration at twenty some odd percent. But almost twice as
many people were worried about the economy then we're worried
about any other issue. Abortion was way down there as
like eleven percent. So it really was really all about
the economy. Last night, let's take a listen to In fact,
let's let's get the details on this. This is from

(12:59):
Fox Business. They were going over the analytics yesterday Brian
Bremberg last night, showing just how much the economy played
a role in all this This is.

Speaker 22 (13:07):
The Fox News voter analysis. You've got one hundred and
twenty thousand interviews across all fifty states, digging into what's
motivating voters.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Take a look at this.

Speaker 22 (13:16):
On the most important issues we've had the question will
economy predominate?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Look at how far ahead.

Speaker 22 (13:22):
Economy and jobs is compared even to immigration, but particularly
when you get down to abortion and then healthcare.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
The gap is enormous.

Speaker 22 (13:30):
So the question is, okay, well, how do people feel
about that most important issue, the economy.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Take a look at this voters.

Speaker 22 (13:39):
Only thirty seven percent of respondents say that they feel
like it's excellent or good. Nearly two thirds say not
so good or poor. So the question has been will
people pay attention to the good news data like jobs
or unemployment or are they paying attention to the inflation data.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
It looks like they've got.

Speaker 22 (13:58):
A stronger memory and a stronger feeling about inflation, and
you can see that in their personal financial situation. Take
a look at this, and I think this is really
important data here. Just thirteen percent of respondents say that
they're getting ahead, over half are treading water, they're holding steady,
and almost a third say they're falling. Behind, And I

(14:20):
think that's particularly important when you think about issues like
can you afford a home, can you put gas in
your car? Can you afford groceries? If you can't, if
the paycheck doesn't cover it, you're in this camp.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
And we know.

Speaker 22 (14:33):
Paychecks haven't covered that because real wages have fallen by
one point six percent during the Biden Harris administration.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, we have real selective memory as voters, I think.
But the good news about having Trump having been in
the White House for four years before is we have
some very strong memories of what that economy was like,
and how well most everybody was doing, and how low
the unemployment rate was, and all the other things that
went with it. Because its recent t history ancient history,

(15:00):
it's recent history. I'm not so sure that any other
candidate running for the Republicans could have done as well
as Trump did. I think the fact that he had
already served and we already had a track record of
what he had done, especially his relates to the economy,
is what really led to this amazing victory.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
I also believe that any other Republican wouldn't have been
able to do this. People who said that they didn't
like Trump because they don't like his mannerisms. It's only
those type of mannerisms that can fight what has been
against this country and the people of this country for
so long. Only somebody with the mannerisms of a Donald
Trump can actually stand up to the lawlessness, to the

(15:39):
law fair, to what has happened to the American people.
And I think the American people saw that, they saw
he genuinely will fight for them.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
I agree four twenty time for traffic and weather together.
Bring your coffee from home, Jimmy, I did not bring
my coffee from home. Are we going to run out
this morning? Because this should be a bad morning to
run out of coffee.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
The only thing I don't like about iHeartRadio Houston is coffee.
If someone just happens to be stopping by pilot or
flying Jay, let's talk off channel.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
I brought my tea bags. You want a t bag,
I'll try some of that.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
That sounds good too, all right, I tell you what
we'll do.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
Since it's slinky time, let's talk a little road construction.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Southwest Freeway outbound.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
They did a lane shift over the Brass River Bridge,
and that means from University out to Grand Parkway. That's
some closures there. They shifted all that. Plus the feeder
road is completely shut down. This is like a big
road project and eventually they'll switch it around the other
way from Richmond Rosenberg.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
For now, no big problems.

Speaker 6 (16:34):
Of course, you have the tech stop wall of death
south Loop six ten speaking up eastbound, the connector to
two eighty eighths closed, and also we have that roadwork
at Scott Street. Still it's nice to have the extra
eastbound lane, but westbound your scooch down and again skinny
lanes in the text top wall. Give me a call
seven to one three. Let's play with the tip line
a little this morning. Seven one three two one two tips.

(16:55):
Just give me a good noise or something. Skymike and

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Oh Ted Frison last night four to twenty three is
out of time here in the Houston's Morning News ten
point victory.

Speaker 18 (18:23):
Hey, can we now.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Officially put polsters in the same category as astrologers? I
think I think, actually I think astrologers would be more
accurate I'd rather get an election prediction these days from
an astrologer than I would get from a polster, because
they've prove it once again. They have no way of

(18:46):
figuring out how a conservative is going to vote. They
have no way of figuring it out. They just can't
do it.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
They don't understand conservatives.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
No, they don't, and they don't understand. Well, why won't
they answer our questions. We don't want to talk to you,
we don't want to take your survey. We're hanging up.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
Oh, they don't understand people who come out very openly.
You set yourself up as a target if you came
out openly. Yeah, as I have. Sure, I mean not
just for losing friendships. You don't. You have to worry.
America has been Our government has proven that they're corrupt
and that they will do anything they can to take
down somebody who is too prominent a Trump supporter.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Well, and that's why we send them to jail. That's
why we're working so hard to get the country back.
And this is step number one in doing that. All Right,
Ted Cruz elected, as I said, by ten points. Here
is a nice little sample of what he had to
say in accepting his election victory tonight.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
The people of Texas have spoken.

Speaker 13 (19:48):
And their message rings clear as a bell across our
great state. Texas will remain Texas. You know, the media

(20:18):
we're ready to write off Texas and Chuck Schumer poured
in more than one hundred.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Million dollars to our state.

Speaker 13 (20:32):
Well, I want to say thank you, Chuck, and I
hope we went a few more Senate seats tonight because
you wasted so much money in Texas. They deployed every trick,

(20:53):
every line, and every Hollywood celebrity they could find. Chuck
Schumer tried to buy this sentence seed like it was
a piece of Manhattan real estate. But he learned what
we've always known that Texas isn't for sale and Texans

(21:19):
can't be bought.

Speaker 18 (21:25):
Amen.

Speaker 13 (21:27):
Over the last two years, I've traveled every corner of
this state, from the Panhandle to the valley, from deepst
East Texas to far.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
In West Texas.

Speaker 13 (21:39):
We have traveled nine thousand and ninety four miles fifty
three rallies all over the state of Texas.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
I've worn out my boots.

Speaker 13 (21:56):
At times, my voice, and certainly the patience of my
incredible political team who did an amazing job on this campaign,
and I think is the very best team in all
of politics.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
And what I found traveling.

Speaker 13 (22:18):
The state of Texas was worth every single mile because
everywhere I went I found something that gives me profound hope.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Common sense isn't dead. Yep, that's stake away from me too.
Common sense is not dead for a while, they do
you kind of for a while they're feel like, you know,
we were one of a small minority of people.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
Who's still it is in parts of the country. I mean,
look at New England, look at Vermont.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Did I just see out of the corner of my
eye though, that in Los Angeles they bousted George Gascon,
the ultra liberal DA.

Speaker 7 (22:54):
Yeah, the one who is absolutely just turned their their state. Well,
they're tired of the crime, sure, they're tired of the
He's the guy almost single handedly just let loose the
criminals on that state.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
That's a rare act in Los Angeles, California of actually
doing the right thing, of actually think wow through the
problem and solving it.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
That's pretty hard to believe. You know, Trump will probably
they're thinking he will probably win Arizona, but is not
looking good for car Carrier.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
To relate, though, no, I can't win them all. I
guess for twenty nine. Here in Houston's Warning News.

Donald Trump declaring his victory as this day began. It
was a little round one am our time, winning the
crucial battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
I will not let you down.

Speaker 8 (25:15):
America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and
stronger than it has ever been before.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Trump also won North Carolina, has leeds in Michigan and Nevada.
Harris closed down her watch party, went home, made no concession,
called a Donald Trump. Real classy there, don't you think?
It looks like Trump's going to have a Republican House
and Senate to work with as well. The House not
official yet, but Republicans have almost They have more than
two hundred seats. They need two hundred and eighteen to

(25:46):
keep the majority. Among the Texas Republicans winning re election
in the House, Dan Crenshaw, Morgan Lutrelle, Randy Webber, Troy Nell's,
Wesley Hunt. Mayra Flores lost though her rematch for in
twenty twenty two to Democrat Vicenta Gonzales. It was a
seat that Republicans were hoping to flip here in Texas.
They did flip the Ohio and West Virginia Senate seats,

(26:10):
are poised to take control of that chamber and even
expanding their majority with a likely win in Pennsylvania, We'll.

Speaker 24 (26:18):
Look back on this day today and we'll say that
was the day that we turned the corner.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
That was the day that we.

Speaker 24 (26:24):
Had new leadership in Pennsylvania. That was the day that
we got our country back on track.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
Yeah. That's Republican Dave McCormick, who has the lead on
the incumbent, long time Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey Senator Texas
Senator Ted Cruz one easy third term, defeating Democrat challenger
Colin Already.

Speaker 25 (26:47):
You can't just be a patriot when your side wins.
So tonight we.

Speaker 7 (26:53):
Didn't win, Cruz winning by nearly ten points, after mainstream
polling had claimed for months that all ready turned this
into a close race. Cruz helped by Donald Trump's fourteen
point win here in the Lone Star State. It's now
for thirty six surprise here in Harris County, though the
DA's race between Seawan Tier and Dan Simon yet yet

(27:15):
being called Democrat, Tier leading by two points with fifteen
percent precincts fifteen precincts still needing to report.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Did you expect the night to last this long?

Speaker 26 (27:28):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I really didn't.

Speaker 27 (27:30):
But you know that that's the beauty of elections, see,
it really is. So we're gonna be here as long
as we need.

Speaker 28 (27:37):
To be here.

Speaker 7 (27:38):
Tier, with our TV partner Channel two incumbent sheriff Ed
Gonzalez projected to defeat Republican challenger Mike Knox, and the
race for sheriff no call yet, however, in the tax
assessor collector race between Republican Steve Raddick and Democrat, and
that Ramirez and Tom Ramsay Republican wins re election as
Precinct three commissioner for the county flood Control District. Too

(28:02):
close to call this morning, I don't know. We're not
even up to half of all the precincts reporting county
wide yet, Keep and I on judicial races in Harris County,
Republican candidates are leading in ten district courts, one County court,
and one Justice of the Peace race. Republicans swept the
statewide judicial elections, and Republican Christi Kratick retained her seat

(28:26):
on the Railroad Commission. So they'll be ready to drill,
baby drill. Federal election monitors supposed to come to Texas
a back down from coming here after the Attorney General
filed a lawsuit and got an injunction against them.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
You can't force us to do the things that you
want us to do that our citizens we.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Already have laws for. You can't override their.

Speaker 7 (28:48):
Laws, Paxton, talking to k TRH News. Now. Monitors were
supposed to come to Harrison and several other counties. They'd
been asked here by the Democrats here in charge. They
said they were trying to prevent voter suppression, though Democrats
were actually running this election right. The first national election
day under County Clerk Tanisha Hutsmith, an elected Democrat, was

(29:12):
not a repeat of the debacle it was twenty twenty
two when several polling locations ran out of paper.

Speaker 29 (29:19):
Harris County, We've had a successful smooth election. I want
to say that again today. We have had a successful
smooth election.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
Hutsmith admitted there was a formatting issue with spreadsheets and
early voting at one polling location, and the left stunned
by what's taken a place over night. Exit polling shows
they shouldn't have been. Seventy percent told Fox News that
this country was headed in the wrong direction under the
Biden Harris regime, and now that the election is over,

(29:49):
Jimmy sadly almost a guarantee that we'll see the Democrats
file their share of legal challenges. We'll have more on
that coming up as Houston's Morning News will be getting
underway beginning at five am. Trump on his way to
a second term in office. Thousands of illegal aliens are
rushing to the border now. They're trying to try to
rush over before January, Texas DPS says, well, they're ready,

(30:15):
but the dam's gonna break. Marcus loved the prospect of
a second Trump administration. Dow Future shot up eight hundred
points when Trump won Wisconsin to get to the magic
number of two seventy up over one thousand points right
now futures as of now recapping our top story, Donald
Trump wins at least four of the battleground states, has

(30:36):
the two hundred and seventy votes he needs to win
the presidency over Kamala Harris. He has already already claimed it.
She has not conceded. I'm Sheriff Fryar on news radio
seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
What happened, Why it happened? Jimmy Barrett and Sheriff Fryar
explain it. Now back to Houston's morning news tiers.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Pretty close to a line slide by the way, CNN,
you'll happy to be happy to you know, CNN is
finally decided that Trump won. They just now called it
on CNN about three and a half hours after Fox
News had already done it. It's go be airing very
interesting where He'll monitor some of the morning shows on
MSNB scene some of these other places, because you.

Speaker 7 (31:20):
Know, just looking at the faces, you know there in
the news yom, we had all these different screens on
and I was looking at the faces on the mainstream.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Here's the combs and oh that's the codin of Harris rally.
They're all crying. They're all crying.

Speaker 7 (31:34):
There is shades of the Hillary feet.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
It's all yeah, it's all emotion, all emotion with those folks.
All right, you may recalled. Yesterday we played a little
cup from Kevin O Larry making a prediction on how
he thought the election would go.

Speaker 18 (31:47):
Let's hear that again.

Speaker 11 (31:49):
I'll come going to be decided by three or four
in the morning. That's my guest. Like everybody else is guessing.
I'm in the camp that says the swing states all
go to one side or the other. I don't trust
polling anymore. You know, I've even looked at private polling data.
The problem I've learned just as an investor and investing
in some of this stuff, is that the actual panels

(32:11):
that are done either online or by cell phone are
very small. So if you're polling a county and only
getting twelve hundred people, your margin for error is over
four percent. And no candidates more than two percent ahead.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
It's useless data.

Speaker 11 (32:28):
So my gut tells me people have decided they You've
got really a different way to look at these two
candidates in terms of the direction they want to take
the country on so many different issues. And I think
you're going to find out tomorrow sometime, maybe between one
and three in the morning, it's all one side or
the other.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
And I really believe that to be.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
The case, and I believe he was right. It certainly
turned out to be that way, didn't it. It wasn't.
It wasn't the race with then margin in many places
that they thought it wasn't they waiting for three or
four days that a lot of folks thought it would be.
It was over by one o'clock in the morning. All right,
Time forward, traffic and weather together, we're ready to check

(33:09):
out that drive sky Mike is ready to fill you in.

Speaker 6 (33:11):

I'm Skymike in the Classic Buick GMC Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
From Mark Cras Generator super Center, twenty four hour Weather Center.
Let's take a look at the forecast, courtesy of Terry Smith.

Speaker 21 (34:04):
Well, they've got a break of the rain today, but
it doesn't last long. The rain returns tomorrow, and that
possibility of what weather through the weekend, A mix of
sun and clouds today, low eighties tomorrow and Friday, a
forty percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. I'm meteorologist Terry
Smith from the Weather Channel.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Right down sixty six here at your official severe weather station.
News Radio seven forty KTRH what you need to know
for the day ahead.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
For forty eight is their time here in Houston's more News. Well,
the Associated Price has finally decided that Trump won as well,
so we welcome to the party Associated Press a little
late in the game, but okay, you know, and I
don't mind that that some of these news outlets wait.
I know why they were waiting because they weren't happy
with the results. But I don't mind that they wait.

(34:56):
I'd much rather have races not called until all the
polls have been closed. You know, I don't There's that
part of me that doesn't like to see anybody potentially
disenfranchised from voting because I already know what the results
are going to be. Although if you heard any final
total share on how many people actually voted between early

(35:17):
voting and voting yesterday, we got any sort of totals
in about how many millions of people across the SCHEDI nationwide, nationwide.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
I was looking at the popular vote count and I
couldn't I couldn't add it up fast enough. Here it
is right there, sixty five million for the Democrats and
Donald Trump is about sixty seven million I think ahead
of that. All right, so we're talking one hundred and
thirty million people. And this is not with all the
vote in yet, right exactly. You know, we have all

(35:45):
these other states not reporting yet. I want to see
it goes up that that's on the right side of
that screen when you look up.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Okay, and yeah, the reason why I was curious is
I was wondering because we had these amazing vote totals
in the twenty twenty election. I mean, something like seventy
million plus for each candidate, and we're obviously not there.
But then again, if the vote isn't all counted yet,
we may get there. We'll have to wait.

Speaker 7 (36:09):
Well, when he did his speech, Trump at about one
am hour time this morning, a little bit before one.
He started it, he said, it looks like I'm gonna
win the popular game. Yeah, he says, isn't that nice?

Speaker 30 (36:23):
The guy?

Speaker 7 (36:23):
He was very low key. He was very gracious in
his victory. The crowd was so excited. Had his whole
family up there on the stage with him, and he
also had oh he had the podcasters, he had the day,
he had he had all these people. He had the golfer,
the Open US Open champ up there on the stage

(36:44):
with him. I mean the guy was just typical drump.

Speaker 18 (36:46):
Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
And by the way, we realized that many of you
maybe were sleeping when Trump made his acceptance speech.

Speaker 18 (36:52):
So we have a little sample to share with you
coming up next.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
First though, at four fifty, let's do a little traffic

it with you.

Long version right here.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
I want to thank you all very much.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Incredible movement.

Speaker 8 (39:37):
This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before. And frankly,
this was I believe the greatest political movement of all time.
There's ever been anything like this in this country and
maybe beyond. And now it's going to reach a new

(39:58):
level of importantness because we're going to help our country heal.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
We're going to help our country.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Hell, we have a.

Speaker 8 (40:06):
Country that needs help, and these.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Help very badly.

Speaker 8 (40:12):
We're going to fix our voters. We're going to fix
everything about our country. And we made history for a
reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just
that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible and it
is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political

(40:32):
they look, what happened?

Speaker 5 (40:34):
Is this crazy?

Speaker 8 (40:41):
But it's a political victory that our country has never
seen before, nothing like this. I want to thank the
American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your
forty seventh president and your forty fifth president, and every citizen,

(41:03):
I will fight for you, for your family, and your future.
Every single day I will be fighting for you, and

truly be the golden age of America.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
That's what we have to know. This is a magnificent
victory for.

Speaker 8 (41:34):
The American people that will allow us to make America
great again. And in addition to having won the battleground
states of North Carolina. I love these places, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.

(41:58):
We are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska,
which would result in us carrying at least three hundred
and fifteen electoral votes.

Speaker 33 (42:10):
But that.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
But as much easier doing.

Speaker 8 (42:17):
What the networks did or whoever called it, because there
was no other path. There was no other path to victory.
We also have won the popular vote.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
That was great.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
That's Donald trumping is acceptance speech from last night. He
hasn't technically won the popular vote yet, but what are

that is seventy one million to sixty nine million in
popular votes. It's been counted, so that's one hundred and
forty million votes right there.

safer and stronger than it has ever been before.

Speaker 7 (45:24):
Trump also won North Carolina. He leads in Michigan and Nevada,
but it's close in Nevada. Those two states not yet

by fourteen points. Not only was Kamala Harris not anointed,
she didn't even bother to talk to her supporters.

Speaker 9 (45:43):
We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that
every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.

Speaker 7 (45:54):
It's always counting those votes, isn't it? Advisor Cedric Richmond.
Mainstream media reaction was what you might expect to their
Kamala losing.

Speaker 37 (46:07):
There's something for four more long lasting than just Donald
Trump the candidate.

Speaker 18 (46:13):
There is a sort of Russian.

Speaker 38 (46:15):
Embrace of disinformation, a radical disvaluing, devaluing of truth.

Speaker 7 (46:25):
Oh, the guy who led the charge Joe Scarborough and MSNBC, Oh, Russia,
Russia or Russia. Actually it turned out to be Republicans
who used the Democrat playbook to secure the win.

Speaker 39 (46:39):
The turnout was so massive for Republicans in the lead
up to today, and that the Democrats did not show
up in the numbers that would be needed to overtake
that early lead.

Speaker 7 (46:52):
Now, how are they going to rig it?

Speaker 32 (46:54):
Now?

Speaker 7 (46:54):
That was kt R H is Sean Hannity and his
reaction investors loving the election result, his futures up a
wap an eleven hundred points overnight. International allies also cheering
trump victory.

Speaker 26 (47:09):
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer among the first to publicly
congratulate Donald Trump, calling it a historic election victory. PM
Starmer and former President Trump eight together. Last month, the

Incumbent Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz, he who's won his
third term, defeating the Democrat challenger Colin Already, and he
called out Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 13 (47:55):
Well, I want to say thank you, Chuck, and I
hope we win a few more Senate seats tonight because
you wasted so much money in Texas.

Speaker 7 (48:06):
Cruz winning by nearly ten points, Cruz helping the Republicans
regain control of the Senate. A big flip, though, came
in Ohio, where Bernie Moreno, the Republican, beat the incumbent
Sharad Brown.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Chuck Schumer if you're watching.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Thanks for the helping the primary, but you're fired.

(49:05):
counting is the reporting is it going very slowly with.

Speaker 14 (49:10):
A handful of precincts yet to report. Democrat Shawn Tier
only leads Republican Dan Simons and the Harris County DA's
race by about twenty three thousand votes. We still don't
know about judicial races in the city, but ten Republicans

Speaker 5 (49:25):
Those races are tight.

Speaker 14 (49:26):
The HISD bond proposal for four point four billion dollars

State Rep. Briscoe Kaine from Deer Park. He won another
term in Austin, and Democrat Ann Johnson won from a

(50:00):
the West View areas. She's my state rep. Now that
the election's finally over, are we finally going to see
Democrats tone their rhetoric as stop calling Republicans are people
who support Republicans' Nazis.

Speaker 17 (50:16):
They do have an ability to say we're all Americans first.
We're not our ethnicity or our religion or where we
grew up.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
You know, we're all Americans today. So there is an opportunity.

Speaker 7 (50:26):
That's political strategist Chris Johnson. He told ktr H. Unfortunately,
Democrats make a lot of money off political division. Don't
expect unity to happen overnight. It's going to have to
be forced on them. Hurricane Rafael, category one with eighty
five mile an hour wins on track to enter the
Gulf of Mexico today uncertainty though as to its track,

(50:46):
it's expected to weaken. We'll have more with the Weather
Channel in just a few minutes here on Houston's Morning
News and the Rockets hosting San Antonio tonight pregame at
six on Sports Talk seven ninety to recap our tops story.
Donald Trump returns to the White House, winning the presidency
over Kamala Harris. Swing state's Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina

(51:09):
went with him. Michigan and Arizona and Nevada are still out.
Trump leaves Harris by the way, and the popular vote
is well by almost two million votes. I'm Sherber Fryar
on News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
What happened and why the top of the hour. Not
just another headline.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
He's when you'll hear what else? What's going on? Is happening?

Speaker 4 (51:30):
News Radio seven forty krh Bible nine now here in
Houston's morning News. You all know who Ellen lickbanis. He's
a rather well known presidential historian. He loves to predict
how the elections will turn out. He is right more
often than he is wrong. And he insisted repeatedly, over
and over and over again that Kamala Harris would narrowly

(51:52):
defeat President Trump and called out anybody who had a
different prediction than what he did because they didn't know
their stuff. And he does, because after all, he's a
presidential historian and he had thirteen keys to the election,
and that's what he based his prediction on. There's a

(52:12):
lot of people wipe an egg off their face this morning.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
They won't.

Speaker 4 (52:18):
Oh, I'm going to make sure I throw enough egg
on their face They're forced to take a wipe.

Speaker 7 (52:22):
You have to do it.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
I'm going to. I fully intend to, and I am
going to because you now share. I'm in love with
polling as much as anybody is. Maybe it's because I
was never that great at math, and I just find
the math very fascinating and when it comes to the
whole polling thing, but it is very very clear to
me that there has been nobody in the polling business
that has been able to figure out how to tell

(52:46):
how conservatives will vote, or how to find conservatives so
that they can pull them on what their issues are
and what it is they're going to vote. We may
talk to you about what our issues are, what our
policies that we want to see are, but very rarely
want to talk to you about how we're going to
cast our ballot.

Speaker 18 (53:03):
And they just can't seem.

Speaker 7 (53:05):
To sample posters can't get it right.

Speaker 18 (53:08):
Yeah, they can't get it right.

Speaker 28 (53:09):
You know.

Speaker 7 (53:09):
And I can't get my math right. I got up
too early, or I didn't get enough sleep. Five million
vote popular vote lead? Oh wow, Donald Trump hass oh wow? Yeah, okay, now, okay,
so it's growing, it's a it's growing. At this point,
my math was real, what does go? What is this
overall percentage?

Speaker 5 (53:27):
Do you know?

Speaker 18 (53:27):
Fifty one, fifty two percent? What it is overall?

Speaker 7 (53:31):
It'll be up there on the screen latest.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Now we'll check that out. Yeah, but what Shar's talking
about here is something that you know, really.

Speaker 7 (53:39):
The popular vote is just an amazing thing.

Speaker 18 (53:42):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
It takes something off the table that we keep hearing about, Well,
we need to get rid of the electoral college. This
needs to be based on popular vote. Well, guess what
you want to do it that way? He still wins.
He still wins.

Speaker 7 (53:54):
There's one of the states that wanted to put it,
make it, they had it on their ballot.

Speaker 4 (53:58):
Yeah, part of the Yeah, opted out of the electoral
cow exactly.

Speaker 7 (54:02):
And I think that amendment's been introduced by somebody as well.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Well that's Democrat, that's probably yeah, no kidding. Five eleven,

Semin We need like.

Speaker 6 (54:17):
Somebody, there's got to be somebody that calls our tip
line that plays a violin for us. Let's go. We'll
talk to KEYO from Leak City shortly. First, let's flip
over here to two eighty eight and so far you
have that roadwork in roach Share and that's we're used
to that now. But once you get to Manville, you're
in great shape. They're twenty two minutes up into downtown
Southwest Freeway. People in Richmond and Roseberg, they love America.

(54:40):
Inbound from the Brazzes River, it's an easy ride. Twenty
seven minutes. KEYO from Leak Cities on the Golf Freeway.

a scooch this early. You can get by it just fine.

We have Terry Smith in the house ready to update
the forecast for you. The rain is gone, but we're
keeping a wary eye on the golf right now, aren't we.

Speaker 7 (55:23):
We are watching the golf of Mexico.

Speaker 21 (55:25):
What's interesting with Raphael, which is hurricane ninety mile an
hour winds approaching Cuba. So it's not in the golf
just yet, but it does make its way into the golf.
But there's a colfront that's going to also make its
way into the golf and kind of act as a barrier.

Speaker 7 (55:41):
And so right.

Speaker 21 (55:42):
Now, that hurricane remains out in the Golf of Mexico
through Sunday and will likely weekend, so it's very possible
it doesn't have any direct impacts on land from Texas
to Florida, that it just stays out there in fizzles.
But the Hurricane Center is saying people from the Houston

(56:04):
metro area over to Louisiana need to continue to keep
an eye on this because there may be some impacts
from whatever is out there in the Gulf of Mexico
over toward the end of the weekend early next week.
There's a lot of uncertainty this far out, but we'll
watch it. We're getting a break from the rain today,
some sunshine, some warm temperatures low eighties today. The rain

(56:25):
returns though tomorrow, continues through the weekend of forty percent
chance of showers and storms tomorrow and Friday, fifty percent
chants of more rain Saturday, and then a thirty percent

know how, sometimes I really believe the sometimes here you
could be dead asleep and then for whatever reason, something
wakes you up at a particular moment. And last night
I'm dead asleep, and all of a sudden, I just
wake up and I sit up because Elizabeth left the
TV on last night in the bedroom, and I wake

(57:15):
up just in time to hear an announcement on Fox
what I heard as I woke up this morning. Coming
up next first, though, we've got traffic and weather together.
We're checking out. Yes, we're checking out. That drive was
the sky Mike. I got it right, didn't I two

(58:19):
I think we know what those are this morning here Sheryon.

Speaker 7 (58:20):
It's five twenty two on news radio seven forty k trhr.
Headlines are sponsored by DNM model is sing. It was
the swing state voters who gave Donald Trump the White
House over Kamala Harris. Wasn't even close here. Texas Senator
Ted Cruz defeated Colin Alread by almost ten points. Despite
the money and all of the polling, hisd bomb proposal

(58:44):
for four point four billion dollars was voted. No latest
news anytime at KGH dot com. Our next update will
be at the bottom of the hour. I live in
southeast Houston.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Your forecast is at the bottom of the hour KTRH.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
I don't know if it's the best day, but it's
going to be right up there. Don't you think five
twenty three is their time here in Houston's Moorren News anyway?
It's about one thirty giver take in the morning and
maybe one twenty five and twenty six something like that.
And then I hear the Fox News alert, which always,
you know, seems to wake me up if the TV's on,
And guess what came on. Here's here's how that sounded.

Speaker 8 (59:25):
The Fox News Decision desk can now officially project that
Donald Trump will become the forty seventh president of the
United States.

Speaker 41 (59:34):
The former presidents come back will be complete with a
win in Wisconsin, a state that he narrowly lost.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Four years ago.

Speaker 41 (59:42):
He is now the second president in US history to
win non consecutive terms. The first was Grover Cleveland and
the late eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Senator JD.

Speaker 41 (59:52):
Vance will become the fiftieth Vice president of the United States.
Voters express deep frustration with the administration and for President
Trump and the future President. Trump overperformed in urban areas,
particularly with men, proving that the strategy that they doubled
and tripled down on over the course of the last

(01:00:13):
few months absolutely succeeded and brought him back.

Speaker 7 (01:00:18):
To the White House.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
So I'm rubbing my eyes, going, no, kidd, Well, actually
I didn't say no kid, and I said no, anyway,
you know what they said, Wow, that was good stuff.
And then I heard this, Ben Dominiciu does a lot
of work on Fox. Gave Trump full credit for almost

(01:00:39):
single handedly, not.

Speaker 7 (01:00:40):
For overperforming, not no, didn't say.

Speaker 4 (01:00:42):
Anything about overperforming. Gave him, gave him credit for reviving
the Republican Party and he deserves full credit for that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:51):
Here's what he said. Well, you know, they called it.

Speaker 42 (01:00:53):
An autopsy at the time, and I think it's turned
out to be an autopsy for a party that was dead.
And I think that Donald Trump has done something incredible
and resurrecting it with a new coalition that you know,
a lot of people never thought Republicans were going to
be able to reach. That they weren't going to be
able to cut through a lot of these different fundamental
problems that people thought were there in order to reach

(01:01:15):
these different sets of the electorate. And look, I think
the big question they have to be asking is how
much of that is tied to Donald Trump himself and
how much of it is something that the Republican Party
going forward can build on and regardless of whatever ends
up happening here tonight and tomorrow morning, in terms of
these blue Wall States and the things that we take

(01:01:35):
away from it. Certainly we can take away this is
the most incredible political comeback that.

Speaker 18 (01:01:40):
We've seen since nineteen sixty eight.

Speaker 42 (01:01:41):
It's the most incredible remaking of the Republican coalition that
we've seen in a way that was really unexpected by
all but a handful of people. And how they build
on that, how they choose to prioritize policies going forward,
could make a big difference in whether they're able to
hold on to it in the future or whether it's
something that goes away if Donald Trump isn't at the top.

Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
Of the tickets.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
You know, I got to wonder, how how are the
Bushes feeling this morning? How well I was saying about.

Speaker 7 (01:02:07):
The Bushes, And I was also thinking, you know, New Hampshire,
for instance, did not go for Trump, and they should have,
but they don't. They've got a bunch of rhinos up there,
they've got some new news, they've got the legacy of
the Bushes and that whole Connecticut you know, right, and
then of course right Biden himself and all of that.
I get that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:25):
You think there's any chance the light bulb went on
for them? Yeah, Yeah, that's too bad, because I.

Speaker 7 (01:02:31):
Think they already what they know, they already know, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
Yeah, but that isn't going to change them.

Speaker 7 (01:02:37):
The pretending is going to have to stop.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
Yeah, well I think it did. I think you know what,
once the Chinese came out did their routine, you know,
and you had all these rhinos flipping over to cover.

Speaker 7 (01:02:46):
Ass that fox makes the switch around too, because the fox,
the Fox has been pretending a lot too, because of
the people they have on their panels right right and everything.
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
Yep, get on board and get out of the way.
Five twenty six is our time here in Houston News.
Time to take a look at your money and Jimmy,
good morning. Trump trade is erupting across the markets this morning.
Wall Street poised for a rally. Listen to these futures numbers.
S and P futures or up more than two percent,
Nasdaq futures are up one to two thirds percent, and

(01:03:18):
the Dow futures are up three percent. Tesla shares are
up fifteen percent in pre market trading. Investors are betting
Elon Musk's electric car company will be a major beneficiary
of a second Donald Trump administration. Musk went all in
on his support for Trump. Sectors viewed by analysts is
likely to benefit under a Trump administration. Our advancing pre

(01:03:39):
market trading, fossil fuel, energy companies, banks, pharmaceutical providers, prison managers,
and smaller cap companies all higher. Those seen as struggling
under a Trump administration that includes renewable energy stocks are down,
and bitcoin is jumped to a record high above seventy
five thousand dollars. I'm Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg Business on News

Barron Long with Sheriff Fryar Bung, our top source. This
half hour looks like it might be a clean sweep
for Republicans in Congress. No concession speed from a speech
rather from Coamala and coming up at five thirty eight.
I wonder how many flights there are today between California
and Canada. Details in the minutes ahead. Yeah, I'd be

(01:04:44):
more than happy to chip in to help him. First, though,
let's go ahead and check out that morning drive with Skymine.

Speaker 6 (01:04:49):
It's two ninety outbound. Tyrone's back. He's got something for
me on two ninety two.

Speaker 19 (01:04:53):
Something going on in the middle of the freeway. I
think it's a at will.

Speaker 20 (01:04:57):
They had had a vehicle accident and it's.

Speaker 6 (01:05:01):
So watch out. That's right after Graham Parkway. We'll see
if we consume get some laneage at the five forty report. Also,
that's roadwork on the Golf Freeway. It's not the usual
wreck park place, but right at the south Flube six
ten inbound that will have it up shortly.

Partly cloudy, skies, very warm by timperture eighty two. Their

We'll talk to Terry Smith about all this when we
talked to her in eight minutes right now sixty six
at your official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty

(01:05:38):
k TRH It's time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 7 (01:05:43):
Five thirty two now on News radio seven forty KTRH
and our top story this hour.

Speaker 8 (01:05:49):
I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary
honor of being elected your forty seventh president and your
forty fifth president.

Speaker 7 (01:06:00):
Donald dropped declaring victory just before two am this morning,
after winning the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
He also won North Carolina. He has leeds currently in
Michigan and Nevada.

Speaker 8 (01:06:15):
It's time to unite and we're going to try.

Speaker 5 (01:06:18):
We're going to try.

Speaker 8 (01:06:19):
We have to try, and it's going to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Success will bring us together.

Speaker 7 (01:06:23):
I've seen that Harris has yet to concede, did not
talk to her supporters gathered last night in Washington. Everyone
got sent home. It appears if it's going to be
a clean sweep for Trump of the GOP, Republicans have
won almost two hundred seats in the House, already two
hundred and eighteen needed to keep control. Their chances of
doing it about sixty five percent, predicted this morning on Fox.

(01:06:48):
Several Texas Republicans won reelection to the House, including Dan Crenshaw,
Morgan Latrelle, Randy Webber, Troy Nells, and Wesley Hunt. Myra
Flores lost, however, to Democrat Santi Gonzalez. It was a
seat the Republicans were hoping to flip, a rematch of
their race from two years ago. The GOP also gained
control of the Senate after flipping seats in Ohio and

(01:07:12):
West Virginia. Another one about to turn as well in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 24 (01:07:18):
This election night's not quite over, but about eighty five
percent of the vote is in, and we've looked at
where all the rest of it coming, and it looks
like we're headed in a very good direction.

Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
Well, since he made that speech, his lead has shrunk
quite a bit as the vote count has proceeded. That's
Republican Dave McCormick. He still has a slight lead on
the incumbent Democrat Bob Casey. So much for media hype. However,
Texas Senator Ted Cruz didn't just beat Colin allready. It
was a blowout ten points night.

Speaker 25 (01:07:54):
I called Senator Cruse and congratulated him on his victory.
You know, it shouldn't be remarkable to have to admit.

Speaker 7 (01:08:05):
Defeating Alrid's concession speech. Now Cruz clearly benefited from Donald
Trump's fourteen point when here it is now five thirty
five major loss for the soft on crime prosecutor in
Los Angeles. The county district attorney there, George Gascon, defeated
by Republican turned independent Nathan Hoffman. It was a twenty

(01:08:30):
point loss from a Gascon surprise developing in Harris County.
Maybe no winner declared yet. In the district attorney race
here between the Democrat Shawn Tier and Republican Dan Simons. Now,
Tier told our TV partner Channel Too, he is counting
on these late counted numbers.

Speaker 27 (01:08:50):
I think that's going to show that this lead that
I have is going to continue to grow.

Speaker 7 (01:08:54):
It hasn't happened yet. The lead remains twenty three thousand
for Tier, with several precincts still not reporting NOLL call
yet as well. And the tax assessor collector race here
in Harris County between Steve Raddick and the Democrat and
Net Ramirez. Ramirez is leading by thirty thousand votes right now.
Tom Ramsey won re election as Precinct three commissioner in

(01:09:15):
Fort in Precinct three commissioner and in Fort Bin County.
The race between the incumbent Sheriff Eric Fagan and Marshall
Slott is too close to call. Fagan leads by less
than one thousand votes. There. We're keeping an eye on
judicial races here in Harris County. Republican candidates are leading
in ten of the district courts, one county court, one

(01:09:38):
justice of the Pea race. Republicans did sweep the statewide
judicial elections, and Christycratick retained her seat on the Texas
Railroad Commission. As for all those federal election monitors that
were supposed to come to Harris County and other Texas counties,
they didn't. They were enjoined from from appearing at the polls,

(01:09:59):
scared off by the lawlawsuit filed by the state Attorney
General Ken Paxton.

Speaker 5 (01:10:03):
Versus we did that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
We get a call from de Farm of Justice and
they basically signed off in an agreement saying they would
not showed up our polling locations, so that they would
not show up our counting locations. That the most they
would do is it's being a parking lot outside of
a polling location.

Speaker 7 (01:10:20):
In a parking lot. A. G. Paxston talking to kg
RH News it is now five thirty seven. Well, the
lift is shell shocked by Trump's victory. Fox's exit polling
suggesting it could happen, only thirteen percent said they were
actually getting ahead financially in the Biden Harris economy. There's
your tip, and now the votes have been counted. Get

(01:10:41):
ready for the lawsuits. David Gelman, with a Trump legal
team tells kg RH, Well, look, they're ready either way.

Speaker 43 (01:10:47):
We know these issues are going to happen, so we
are prepared for that. Unlike in twenty twenty, when I
don't think we were nearly as prepared as we should
have been.

Speaker 5 (01:10:56):
Now it's a total game changer.

Speaker 7 (01:10:58):
He says. The games starts with a challenging court at
the state level. Recapping our lead story, Donald Trump four
of the battleground states leads and the others has more
than two hundred and seventy votes that he needs to
win the presidency over Kamala Harris. Right now, sitting at
two hundred and seventy seven, I'm sure with Frar on
news radio seven forty KTRH keeping you in the know all.

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):
The information in real time and.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
Again the now right now, News Radio seven forty KTRH five, about.

Speaker 18 (01:11:32):
Thirty nine is the time here in Houston's morning years.

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):
I'm waiting, who do you think will be the first
celebrity who's gonna stand up first safe I'm I'm moving
to Canada or I'm wherever it is they're going to go.
This is not the United States of America. Usually they
threaten that before the election, and then after the election
they rapidly hope that you forget that.

Speaker 18 (01:11:49):
They said it.

Speaker 7 (01:11:50):
I thought that all already bought their homes in Hawaii.

Speaker 18 (01:11:53):
Well that's still part of the United States, I.

Speaker 7 (01:11:55):
Know, but it went over one two to one Democrat,
you know, their own island.

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
Yeah they do. Well, maybe that that's what And they
don't have any snow in Hawaii. You can go up
the mountains and get snow in a way. But but yeah, yeah,
this would be not be a good time of the
year for people who wanted to leave the United States
and try to escape to Canada. Plus, what are you
escaping too? I would like to think that this is
a chance for some of these celebrities to put their

(01:12:22):
money where their mouth is. If you really like socialism, Canada,
Canada is three fourths of the way there.

Speaker 7 (01:12:29):
My neighbors across the street are from British Columbia.

Speaker 18 (01:12:32):
Oh why are they here?

Speaker 7 (01:12:33):
They're working?

Speaker 4 (01:12:34):
Okay, what do they think about the United States versus Canada.

Speaker 7 (01:12:38):
Well, they had the greatest Halloween decorations I've ever seen.

Speaker 18 (01:12:42):
So they got into that.

Speaker 7 (01:12:43):
Huh oh yeah, get to little kids, okay, whether the
hurricane barrel?

Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
Yeah, nice people, yeah, well good. Yeah, they're very friendly people.
They really are, because in Canada it's so cold, you
can't afford not to be friendly with people.

Speaker 18 (01:12:56):
You got to you gottage to Columbia.

Speaker 7 (01:12:58):
You know, you think of it as being or Western.

Speaker 5 (01:13:00):
You got to get a group hug going when it's
that called it really is.

Speaker 35 (01:13:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:04):
I don't think we'll see anybody moving to Canada, not
not this time of the year. Five forty time for
traffic and weather. It's together. Poutine, Bring back some poutine.
I don't know what that is. That's it's like French
fries with cheese.

Speaker 7 (01:13:16):
Jesus strings and gravy on French fries.

Speaker 5 (01:13:20):
Oh yeah, dang, that sounds good.

Speaker 18 (01:13:22):

rain again today. That's a good thing.

Speaker 16 (01:14:24):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 21 (01:14:25):
We've had quite a bit of rain and that's been
most helpful to kind of ease this rainfall deficit that
we've been experiencing.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
So a dry day to.

Speaker 7 (01:14:34):
Get things done today, but it doesn't last long.

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
And I know there's somebody this morning who's probably just
as happy, if not happier, than anybody else in that's
Texas Congressman Toy Nails, who probably has spent more time
in Wisconsin over the last six months.

Speaker 7 (01:15:30):
Yeah, maybe we need to thank him for Wisconsin.

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
I think we will do that because obviously Trump won
most time last night. Yep, well, we'll talk to Congressman
El's coming up next. First, though, traffic and weather togethers

Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
Nil spent so much time in Wisconsin, he probably knows
the lyrics to that marching song five fifty two. It
is our time here in Houston's warning news. Does that
make you feel at home?

Speaker 28 (01:17:23):
Congressman, Oh my god, Jimmy Sir, Yes, on Wisconsin and
did he do well in the state of Wisconsin? A big, big, victory,
a big victory for Donald J. Trump. It was an
important state to all the swing states. But that was
my focus, the great state of Wisconsin, and Wisconsin nights
came through. They could see what we were up against.

(01:17:43):
Obviously all the lies being spread by the Democrats, but
the people in Wisconsin were not stupid people. They're not
stupid people, and they came through for Donald Trump. A big,
big night for Wisconsin and America well.

Speaker 7 (01:17:56):
Too big to rig. That was the mantra. I think
that all the marching was done to and that really
made the difference when you're in these questionable states where
all of a sudden the ballas come in in the
dead of night. Do you when did you think that
you you really had the grip at all of this.

Speaker 28 (01:18:13):
Well, I think it's probably around ten ten, ten thirty.
I saw what was taking place in Georgia and North
Carolina and I felt good. You know, if you if
you look and I tell your hats off to Fox News,
I mean they broke it down really really well, county
by county, and I just felt that we had momentum.
But it's not just having momentum. After the post closed,
I saw the momentum building weeks out. I mean people

(01:18:35):
were just really really excited where I was up in Wisconsin,
and I think that really carried throughout all of the
swing states. I mean, the energy was there, and the
Democrats really Kamala Harris had nothing to talk about. She's
got a bozo for her, you know, in walls. So
I just think that the American people again are smarter
than this, and they knew that under Trump the four

(01:18:58):
years we had him, I mean, our country was great,
and he just wants to make America great again. And
Donald Trump puts the American people first, and the minority
group saw that, the Hispanics, the Blacks. I mean, this
was a big win for America. And now Donald Trump's gonna,
you know, show the American people that he's he's going
to work very very hard. He's going to pick great

(01:19:19):
cabinet positions people, and it's just going to be good
the world. The world quite honestly won last night.

Speaker 4 (01:19:27):
Let me ask you about the polling, because obviously the
polling once again couldn't be more wrong. Wisconsin among the
many states they were just supposed to be raisor thin
and didn't turn out to be quite so raised with
thin after all, was one of those things they got
called relatively early in the process. Here do you you
talked to these conservative voters all the time. You have
a theory about why it is it so difficult to

(01:19:48):
pull them?

Speaker 28 (01:19:50):
Yeah, I don't know. I think because they're afraid. You know,
one thing I noticed that there are many Republicans that
that are they just don't want to talk about it.
They just they'll go to the pole, they'll cast they're valid,
but they don't want to publicly speak about it outwardly
because they're afraid. I mean they're afraid. They said, I
don't I've been up to many county fairs. They said,
you want to sign absolutely, I do not want a

(01:20:11):
Trump sign. I don't want a Trump sign, but I'm
voting for him. I said, why don't you want to
sign in your yard? Because I'm afraid somebody could scratch
my car break away. I mean, people are afraid to
show outward support for Donald Trump because they're free, they're
going to be attacked. And that is so true. I mean,
I was up at the Packer game the other day.
I had a big twenty foot blow up Trump and

(01:20:33):
there are a lot of people that came by and
they just kind of gave you the thumbs up or
win me the eye. But they didn't want to sit
and engage because they're just concerned about being attacked by
the left. And you've seen it, you've seen.

Speaker 7 (01:20:45):
It as is un American.

Speaker 28 (01:20:50):
Well, how many Democrats ever? I mean, I don't think
Democrats have ever been hesitant on outwardly speaking about their
can and it's and how they're supporting their candidates. But
there's a lot of Republicans, Sarah, there's a lot of
them out there that just said, hey, listen, I'm not
putting a yard sign and I'm not putting a sticker
on my car. And I think that is sad for

(01:21:11):
America to think that we can't outwardly express our support
for a certain political candidate and our party because you're
concerned about how the opposition would feel about it. And
that's that's a sad day now for America.

Speaker 7 (01:21:23):
Well, that's the battle that has to be fought now.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
Yeah, is it true served by the way that you've
become addicted to broadwurst and cheese curds? Is that true?

Speaker 28 (01:21:30):
I have, I have. I'm gonna have to talk to
the RFK. He's going to have to make Droilles healthy again.
He's going to have to make me healthy again.

Speaker 20 (01:21:39):
But tell you this is great what you guys are
doing every day on the radio.

Speaker 28 (01:21:43):
All I mean, I tell you I couldn't sleep much
last night, and I know the Boss probably didn't sleep
much last night either. But what a great day for
the for the country. And now let's make America great again.

I want to just tell you what a great honor

crickets from Kamala Harris, she.

Speaker 9 (01:24:18):
Will be back here tomorrow to address not only the
Hu family, not only to address her supporters, but to
address the nation.

Speaker 7 (01:24:28):
Advisor Cedric Richmond there speaking for Kamala Harris, there was
no concession call made to Trump either. Reaction from the
left of the mainstream stream media so far well priceless.

Speaker 5 (01:24:41):
My point is this, oops.

Speaker 7 (01:24:48):
John Stewart on Comedy Central. In fact, mainstream media may
have played an even larger role in Trump's victory than
we first realized.

Speaker 44 (01:24:57):
I personally like to thank the women of the view
tonight question we're having her on Oprah, we see you,
and so on and so forth. People thought they were
doing her favor because they made something.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
They made her something she's not.

Speaker 7 (01:25:13):
Kelly and Conway on Fox talking about how Kamala Harris
is inauthentic. It is now six 'zh three. Mainstream media
claimed it would be closed Ted Cruz, He's getting a
third term in the US Senate.

Speaker 12 (01:25:26):
Nonetheless, income US Senator Ted Cruz is retaining his seat
in the Senate after easily defeating Democratic challenger Colin Allred
by more than one million votes. The enormous amount of
money spent by Democrats to try and flip the seat.

Speaker 18 (01:25:40):
Was not enough.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
The people of Texas have spoken.

Speaker 13 (01:25:46):
And their message rings clear as a bell across our
great state. Texas will remain Texas.

Speaker 7 (01:26:02):
Yeah, it was Republicans who ended up flipping the Senate,
flipping Joe Manchin's seat in West Virginia.

Speaker 45 (01:26:09):
Big, big, big daughter, There's no question about that. And
I thank all of you in every way for standing
arm in arm with me every day.

Speaker 7 (01:26:22):
Yeah, that's a Republican there in West Virginia. Jim Justice
Bernie Moreno defeated incumbent Sharad Brown in Ohio, balance of
power in the House still up in the air. Republicans
are leading with nearly two hundred seats. It is now
six 'h four. Local races still haven't been called at

(01:26:44):
several of them officially anyway.

Speaker 14 (01:26:47):
More than a dozen precincts still have to report. Democrat
Sewn Tier has a twenty three thousand vote lead on
Republican Dan Simon's in the race for Harris County District Attorney. Elsewhere,
ten Republicans are currently leading Democrat. You've had judges in
district court races. Ed Gonzalez beats Mike Knox and the
race for sheriff, but Eric Fagan is in a dogfight

(01:27:08):
with Marshall Slot in Fort Ben County. That race is
within a thousand votes this morning, Cliff Saunders News Radio
seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (01:27:15):
Yeah, another race of note in Fort Ben County Precinct three,
Commissioner Andy Myers is leading to Ral Patel. That's the one,
the Democrat who was indicted nine times for a social
media fake racism hoax in his election one congressional race. Locally,
we've been watching as expected. Erica Lee Carter will be
filling out the remainder of her late mother's term, Sheila

(01:27:39):
Jackson Lee. That would be Congressional District number eighteen. That
is just till the end of the year. Now the
former Houston mayor Sylvester Turner has won the election to
take over that district in January. It is now six
oh six. Vote counting could drag on for days, and
it's raising concerns of how that's going to affect the

(01:27:59):
voters themselves. Political analyst Anthony Russo says some swing states
are really always the worst offenders when.

Speaker 15 (01:28:07):
You're actually looking at stuff like this, or machines aren't
working in deep red counties and they're extending voting time
until ten PM, there's obviously going to be some suspicion,
and the longer it takes to find a winner, just
the more danger as it becomes.

Speaker 7 (01:28:19):
Yeah, in Arizona, that state's largest county controlled by Democrats,
warrens it could take up to two weeks to count
the votes. Meantime, they've got fences up all around the
White House and other sites in DC to prevent possible
post election violence. This election cycle has certainly been the
most divisive in modern history, so will we finally see

(01:28:42):
some unity in this country.

Speaker 16 (01:28:45):
Unfortunately, the political temperature won't come down overnight.

Speaker 17 (01:28:48):
I think it's going to take a minute for the
temperature to just turn down organically. The short term, I
think we're unlikely to really see anything.

Speaker 16 (01:28:55):
Political strategist Chris Johnson told KTRH the left makes too
much money off the division for it to just disappear.

Speaker 17 (01:29:01):
Democrats generally outraised Republicans two to one. A lot of
it is from social media, where they go out there
and they say something inflammatory and it raises a ton
of money.

Speaker 16 (01:29:09):
Johnson says that at the end of the day, big
issues like the border and the economy are bipartisan, and
focusing on solutions should help bring the country together. Ethan
Buchanan News Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 7 (01:29:21):
It is now six oh seven and recapping our top story.
Donald Trump has won the presidency over Kamala Harris because
of the swing state victories in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, and
North Carolina, Michigan and Arizona, Nevada. Those swing states still
out Trump, however, so far, also taking the popular vote
over Kamala Harris about a five million vote lead. On

(01:29:45):
that fifty one percent of the vote to her forty
seven and a half. I'm Sherriff Ryer on News Radio
seven forty.

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
KTRH, Houston's Morning News continues with Jimmy Verrett and share
of Fryar.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
Yeah, we're still waiting.

Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
For some states to come in, and we'll be waiting
as if sere just told you, we're also still waiting
here in Harris County. KPRC two's Bill Spencer was kind
of following the vote for them and talking with Taisha
Hudspeth about when can we expect to get the results.
Here's a little bit of that conversation.

Speaker 46 (01:30:21):
Do you think we'll have all the votes counted by
morning by six am?

Speaker 29 (01:30:26):
I don't ever give a time on what I think
they're going.

Speaker 7 (01:30:29):
To be in.

Speaker 29 (01:30:30):
I do believe we'll have a good amount of the
counties of recording in by that time. We should have
a good percentage of election day results in, but I
won't guarantee you six am.

Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
So there you have it.

Speaker 36 (01:30:43):
And all told, three hundred and nineteen thousand people and
came out to the polls in Harris County and voted,
And if you add that to the massive number of
people more than a million of them that voted early.

Speaker 46 (01:30:57):
The total voter count for this election, presidential election twenty
twenty four in Harris County is just about one point
five million people.

Speaker 18 (01:31:08):
Really good turnout this year.

Speaker 4 (01:31:10):
Yeah, it is a good turnout, and I think that honestly,
I'm a little surprised that the Trump Fans ticket did
as well in Harris County as it did. Only lost
by less than little over four points in Harris County,
so it did pretty well. Of course, Harris County it's
not all blue. We have tendency sometimes to think of
it as blue. If you take a look at the
map of Harris County, it's it's it's interesting. You know,

(01:31:33):
you got these big red wings on the right and
red wings on the left in the north, and then
you got the blue that's in the middle. But there
is one race that we don't know the results of
yet because it's still too close to call. Let's only
about a percentage point difference between Jean Tierr and his
Republican twenty.

Speaker 7 (01:31:50):
Three thousand votes. And we don't know about the taxes
as or collector race either. Yeah, you know those are
being held back.

Speaker 4 (01:31:58):
Yeah, and of course it'd be helpful to know how
many boats are still outstanding. Then you could maybe make
some sort of have some sort of idea about whether
or not it's possible to catch up or not.

Speaker 18 (01:32:07):
But at this point, you.

Speaker 7 (01:32:08):
Know, what we really have to sweat right now is
the fact that the Democrats flipped three congressional seats.

Speaker 18 (01:32:16):
House seats, yeah, and Republicans flipped four. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:32:19):
So yeah, still have the slim lead. But there's still
California account exactly, you know, and a lot of those
are really really tight. Yeah they are California, Colorado. That's
another one we're not getting, you know, is still too
close to call, I mean, and it's just amazing to me.

Speaker 4 (01:32:36):
Yeah, the Senate has been decided that will be under
Republican control, so well the White House. We just don't
know yet about the House itself. Six eleven, Time for
traffic and whether together, let's check out the drive once again.
Here this guy mine all right.

Terry Smith is here.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
We get a dry day and we're still keeping an
eye on the golf because I don't think anybody knows
for sure where Rafael's going to end up.

Speaker 33 (01:34:12):
No.

Speaker 21 (01:34:14):
Part of the reason for that is there's a coalfront
that's going to be making its way into Texas and
into the western Gulf of Mexico, and that's kind of
acting as a shield, a barrier to what is now
Hurricane Raphael making much westward progress or northwestward progress. So

(01:34:37):
right now it's the hurricane looks to just kind of
meander around in the Gulf of Mexico through the weekend. Now,
I still want to keep a close eye on it
because even though it may not be a powerful hurricane,
if it has any impacts along the United States coastline,
it still may end up bringing us some rain. Every
time the forecast gets updated, that little cone of uncertainty

(01:35:01):
that we talk about keep shifting westward. Houston is under
that cone of uncertainty right now, but it really does
cover southeast Texas all the way to Louisiana at the moment,
and it's going to change every day when we get
an update on the hurricane.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Closer to home.

Speaker 7 (01:35:15):
We do have a break, which is really good.

Speaker 21 (01:35:16):
We've had a lot of rain here recently low eighties today,
but that front returns tomorrow, and so we have the
possibility of forty percent chance of showers and storms tomorrow
and Friday, and then that coal front, the next col
front on the way Saturday, with a fifty percent chance
of more rain and a thirty percent chance of thunder
showers Sunday.

I don't think doctor Robin Armstrong ever stopped believing. We
didn't stop believing.

Speaker 5 (01:37:54):
We were.

Speaker 4 (01:37:55):
We were hoping we'd have a morning like this. But
there's always the part of you wonders and worries. Doctor
Robin Armstrong joins us RNC Committee man. Pollster Sure had
this one wrong, didn't they?

Speaker 35 (01:38:08):
Yeah, they certainly did. I am so excited, and boy,
I'll tell you I'm a believer it was. It was
exciting to see this happen. It needed to happen. I
think the American people got it right. So excited that
he won the popular vote. I really think it sends
a message to the Democrats that they can't just call
their opponent names and bespurgious character and expect to win.

(01:38:31):
They have to actually give policy proposals. And so I
think it's exciting. We're going to take the Senate. I
think we're going to hold onto the House. I think
it's going to be a great thing. President Trump won
the popular vote, so he has a mandate and a landslide.
I think in the end he's going to get about
three hundred and nine electoral votes. And so I think
it's the American people have spoken, and I believe that

(01:38:54):
it's going to be exciting four years coming up.

Speaker 7 (01:38:56):
What do you think about the way the Texas voters
have spoken, not on the national races, but here locally
and across the state. I mean, we have a legislature
session coming up.

Speaker 35 (01:39:08):
Absolutely, Texas Texas did great. We want a lot of
appellate judges, which is extremely important in the state of Texas.
We lost that lost those judges in twenty eighteen. We
picked up two House seats as of now down in
the Valley, one in the San Antonio area, two Hispanics.
Hispanic Republicans won those seats and won in Corpus Christi,

(01:39:30):
and we also picked up a state Senate seat as
well down in the Valley, a Hispanic state senator. It's
going to be being austin next session. And so Texas
did very, very well. Of course, Ted Cruz one fantastic.
I think that's going to end in double digits, just
as I predicted. I think they'll win by ten plus points.
And I'll tell you, Texas has spoken that it is

(01:39:53):
solidly read and we are actually winning, you know, with
the demographic changes coming in the state of Texas, we're
winning more Hispanic votes, more African American votes. So I
think our message is resonating with the people of Texas,
and I think they will continue to.

Speaker 4 (01:40:07):
I don't mean to, you know, put a harsh on
your buzz here, but the House of Representatives. I'm a
little worried about the House. I know Sherry is too.
There's a lot of votes that are still out, many
of them from left leaning states. And I know you
sound pretty confident that the Republicans will maintain control of
the House. But if there's going to be some Shenanigans,

(01:40:27):
I would think that would be where we would define
them at this point because the Senate and then the
White House have already been decided.

Speaker 35 (01:40:35):
Right, You're absolutely right, But I'll say you this time,
the RNC really had a lot of lawyers and legal
teams set in all of these different states, and so
we've got lawyers that are looking into that and watching
very closely. You're absolutely right. I don't put anything past
the Democrats. I was concertainly we're going to try that
into presidential locators. So it's like when you start hearing

(01:40:58):
about mail in ballots from Philadelphia, you know, my heart
starts turning and start getting nervous. I think that we're
gonna be okay because I think we're going to have
folks that are that are watching that vote, chasing that vote,
making sure that that that those ballots are counted correctly,
and that that that there's no large numbers coming in
at the last minute. So I think we're gonna be okay.

(01:41:20):
In the House, you know, and I believe we're going
to have Mike Johnson as our as our speaker still,
and we're going to have a majority leader of the
Senate who is a Republican who we're to have the
presidency so I think it's going to be an exciting time.

Speaker 7 (01:41:33):
Donald Trump and his speech, had the speaker there on
stage with him early this morning, and he Trump projected confidence.
That's all I can say.

Speaker 1 (01:41:43):
He projected did.

Speaker 18 (01:41:46):
He did?

Speaker 35 (01:41:46):
And I think we're gonna be okay at the House,
I really do. I think we're gonna be okay. It's
not going to be a large majority. I think right
now we flipped I think one more seats that they have,
and I believe that that that there are Democrat states,
but I think they're ignored leading areas. And so I
think there are some seats in California that we were
concerned about. I've communicated with with Shawn Steele out there,

(01:42:08):
who's married to Michelle Steele. I think she'll win that
seat and hold on. And so I think that we're
going to be okay in the House.

Speaker 18 (01:42:13):
Doctor.

Speaker 4 (01:42:14):
Let me ask you this one last question, and that
has to do with expectations. Let's let's assume that the
Republicans hang onto the House. As we said, They've got
the White House, they've got the Senate. The last time
that happened, people were sorely disappointed because Republicans didn't get
things done the way they promised. Will this time be different?
Is this a different Republican Party?

Speaker 5 (01:42:35):
Well, I think it.

Speaker 35 (01:42:37):
Is, because there's a there's a Republican electorate, there's a
Republican people that we put. The folks that put them
in off are going to be expecting more and so
and so I don't know that it's a different Republican
party necessarily. I do know that Trump is going to
push hard on his agenda, and I think that he's
going to put he's going to get the right cabinet members.
I think we're going to end up with probably fifty

(01:42:59):
three fifty four Senate members. So he's going to get
the cabinet that he wants. And I think that we're
going to be able to push things through on a
national level and on a statewide level, just because the
expectation is greater. And so I'm gonna certainly be pushing
these guys, and I'm sure you all will, and so
we need to continue to stay involved, active and engaged
to make sure they do the right things to behalf

(01:43:21):
of the American people.

Speaker 4 (01:43:22):
All Right, sir, thanks as always for your time. We
do appreciate it. Doctor Robin Armstrong six twenty eight time

in my life.

Speaker 5 (01:45:40):
Because family are incredible people. This is car my ladies
and gentlemen.

Speaker 7 (01:45:44):
Yeah, UFC great data. White there Donald Trump surrogate as
Trump beats Kamala Harris and we'll return to the White
House after breaking the blue Wall. He won Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Speaker 8 (01:45:57):
I will not let you down. America's future be bigger, better, boulder, richer,
safer and stronger than it has ever been before.

Speaker 7 (01:46:07):
No, he wasn't a crowing Donald Trump. He's also won
Georgia and North Carolina, has leeds in Michigan and Nevada.
Harris closed down her watch party early, went home, made
no concession. Called a Donald Trump. Yeah, that's a lot
of class in grace. Looks like Trump will have a
Republican House and Senate to work with too. The House
not official yet, but Republicans have almost two hundred seats.

(01:46:30):
They need to eighteen to keep the majority. Among the
Texas Republicans winning re election to the House Dan Crenshaw,
Morgan Lutrelle, Randy Webber, Troy Nells, and Wesley Hunt. Mara
Flores lost her rematch, however, from twenty twenty two to
Democrat Thecentate Gonzales, in a seat that Republicans were hoping
to flip. They did flip Ohio, West, Virginia and Montana

(01:46:54):
Senate seats, poised to take control of the Senate, expending
that majority. With a likely win in Pennsylvania two, we'll.

Speaker 24 (01:47:03):
Look back on this day today and we'll say that
was the day that we turned the corner.

Speaker 1 (01:47:08):
That was the day that we.

Speaker 24 (01:47:09):
Had new leadership in Pennsylvania. That was the day that
we got our country back on track.

Speaker 7 (01:47:15):
Republican Dave McCormick has a very small lead, but it's
a lead on incumbent Democrat Bob Casey. Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
He won his third term easily defeating the Democrat challenger,
Colin Allreddy.

Speaker 25 (01:47:29):
You can't just be a patriot when your side wins.

Speaker 7 (01:47:34):
So tonight we didn't win, Cruse winning by nearly ten points,
after mainstream polling had claimed for months that already had
turned this into a tight race. Cruz, helped by Donald
Trump's fourteen point win here in the lone Star state.
It's now six point thirty four. It was a surprise. However,

(01:47:54):
Still ongoing here in Harris County, the DA's race between
Shawn Tier, Democrat and Dan Simons has not been called.
Tier leads by two points, with fifteen precincts still left
to report.

Speaker 5 (01:48:08):
You expect the night to last.

Speaker 27 (01:48:09):
This wall wob No, I really didn't, but you know
that that's the beauty of elections.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
See earlier.

Speaker 27 (01:48:17):
So we're gonna be here as long as we.

Speaker 31 (01:48:20):
Need to be there.

Speaker 7 (01:48:21):
Tier, with our TV partner channel to Sheriff. Gonzalez projected
to defeat Mike Knox in the race for sheriff. No
call yet in the tax assessor collector race between Steve
Raddick and the Democrat Anette Ramirez. Tom Ramsay has won
re election as Precinct three Commissioner for Harris County prope
for the County Flood Control District. Too close to call

(01:48:41):
this morning. Yeah, they're still counting here in Harris County.
An eye on judicial races in Harris County, Republican candidates
are leading in ten district courts, one county court, and
one JP race. Republicans did sweep statewide judicial elections, and
Republican Christiocratic retained her seat on the Railroad Commission. So

(01:49:01):
it's ready for drill, baby, drill. Federal election monitors supposed
to come to Texas. They backed down from coming here
after the Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a suit on
behalf of the state against the Feds.

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
You can't force us to do the things that you
want us to do that our.

Speaker 5 (01:49:20):
Citizens we already have laws for. You can't override their laws.

Speaker 7 (01:49:24):
Yeah, Paxton, talking to KTRH News. First national election day
under County Clerk t Nisha Hutsmith was not a repeat
of the debacle of twenty twenty two when several polling
locations ran out of ballot paper Harris County.

Speaker 29 (01:49:39):
We've had a successful smooth election. I want to say
that again today. We have had a successful smooth election.

Speaker 7 (01:49:47):
Except they're still counting. Husmith did admit there was a
formatting issue with some spreadsheets in early voting at one
polling location. It's now six thirty six. The left has
been stunned over exit polling shows. They shouldn't have been
seventy percent of those who voted told Fox News this
country who is headed in the wrong direction under Biden

(01:50:10):
Harris regime. Now that the election is over, it's almost
a guarantee that we see the Democrats filing their share
or more of legal challenges.

Speaker 5 (01:50:20):
And Sherah, with that said, how does it work?

Speaker 43 (01:50:23):
All the challenges will start in a state court.

Speaker 48 (01:50:26):
That's Attorney David Gelman, who is a Trump surrogate and
one of the heads of the legal team.

Speaker 43 (01:50:33):
We're not reactive, we're proactive, and we have some of
the smartest individual's legal minds in the country working with
us and working for us. I think we are in
a very good position.

Speaker 48 (01:50:43):
Both campaigns have recruited thousands of lawyers across the country
for post election fights. Jeff Biggs News Radio seven forty
k t EH and.

Speaker 7 (01:50:54):
With Trump on his way to a second term in office,
we've already got thousands of illegal aliens rushing to our border,
hoping to invade before he takes office in January.

Speaker 38 (01:51:05):
We're closely monitoring. There's tens of thousands of immigrants we're
now waiting in until then, Mexico, just waiting to see
what's going to happen. Do you anticipate we may see
a surge, but the thing is in Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
You know we're ready.

Speaker 7 (01:51:15):
Texas DPS Lieutenant Chris Olivados on Fox Now the surge
has been held in southern Mexico by Mexican authorities, but
that damn expected to break after these election results. Marcus
led the prospect though of a second Trump administration. Dow
Future shot up eight hundred points when he won Wisconsin
to get the magic number of two seventy, up over

(01:51:36):
twelve hundred points as of right now. Recapping the top story,
Donald Trump wins at least four of the battleground states
and now has two hundred and seventy seven votes, only
needed two seventy to claim the presidency over Kamala Harris.
I'm sure, Refriar on news radio seven forty KTRH checking in.

Speaker 1 (01:51:54):

It is a six thirty nine out here on Histon's
Born News.

Speaker 4 (01:52:09):
Speaking of flair guns, guy at the White House yesterday
carrying a blowtorch and a flare gun smelling like fuel.
That doesn't seem like a real smart idea. He was
arrested at the US Capitol Building yesterday afternoon on Election Day.
He was trying to enter the visitor center when he

(01:52:30):
was taken into custody. He was also carrying a twenty
five page manifesto that he planned to deliver to Congress.

Speaker 7 (01:52:38):
So was he a white supremacist or well, he was.

Speaker 4 (01:52:41):
He was a white male in his twenties and he's
from Michigan, Oh, driven from Michigan. Capital tourists were closed
for the day.

Speaker 7 (01:52:50):
We don't know what the manifesto said.

Speaker 4 (01:52:52):
No, of course not, because if we knew what the
manifesto said, if.

Speaker 7 (01:52:56):
It's said to prove he was a white supremacist, we'd
hear exactly. Yeah, that's how that.

Speaker 4 (01:53:02):
Works, generally speaking, that's how that works. Yes, So if
there was anything in there that would prove him to
be a radical leftist, then we are never going to
see that manifesto, that's for sure. The only way you
see the manifesto, as you said, sure, is if it's
something in there that would indicate he's a Trump supporter
or you know, something along those lines. Six forty time

the story that it's hard to even digest.

Speaker 1 (01:58:09):
Fully at this moment.

Speaker 34 (01:58:10):
But you have Elon Musk, who owns Twitter X whatever
we're calling it these days X, who is a disinformation
propagandist and now has a direct could potentially have a
direct line to.

Speaker 1 (01:58:24):
The Oval Office.

Speaker 51 (01:58:26):
Well, Donald Trump is now our forty seventh president of
the United States of America. This election was not even close,
which I find odd considering Kamala Harris's rallies. I'm disgusted
enough to delete my ex account. I'm disgusted enough to
never order a tesla as long as I shall live.

Speaker 32 (01:58:49):
There were appeals to racism in this campaign, and there
is racial bias in this country, and there is sexism
in this country. And anybody who thinks that that did
not end anyway impact on the outcome of this race
is wrong.

Speaker 18 (01:59:05):
You know what there is in this country mental health issue.

Speaker 7 (01:59:08):
I hate to say it that first stobbing child actually

My grandparents love Texas and know of the they'd.

Speaker 7 (01:59:18):
Be, so I thought, oh, for heaven's sakes, and I
mentioned outside of Austin and listen to Bastrop County.

Speaker 4 (01:59:25):
As young woman raised by Trump supporters. Wow, what went wrong? Folks?

Speaker 5 (01:59:31):

Speaker 28 (02:02:39):
I saw the momentum building weeks out. I mean people
were just really really excited where I was.

Speaker 7 (02:02:46):
Texas Congressman Troy Nell's on Houston's Morning News. This morning,
Donald Trump rides his winds in swing states of Georgia, Wisconsin,
and Pennsylvania on his way back to the White House.

Speaker 52 (02:02:58):
Donald Trump took this age at the Palm Beach County
Convention Center either very late Tuesday or very early Wednesday.
He spoke to thousands gathered there in a softer tone
than the usual campaign rally.

Speaker 8 (02:03:11):
And now it's going to reach a new level of
importance because we're going to help our country.

Speaker 1 (02:03:19):
Heill, we going to help our country.

Speaker 8 (02:03:20):
Hill, We have a country that needs help.

Speaker 52 (02:03:23):
The former president reiterated many of his well known policy goals,
but he also thanked newer prominent supporters like Elon Musk
and Robert F.

Speaker 7 (02:03:31):
Kennedy Junior Fox is Evan Brown in Florida. Trump also
won North Carolina. He leeds in Michigan and Nevada. Those
two states not called yet though here in Texas it
was a blowout, Trump winning by fourteen points. Not only
was Kamala Harris not anointed, she didn't even bother to
talk to her supporters last night.

Speaker 9 (02:03:51):
We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every.

Speaker 28 (02:03:57):
Vote is counted.

Speaker 5 (02:04:00):
Revoice has spoken.

Speaker 7 (02:04:02):
Her advisor, Cedric Richmond, speaking for her. The left thought
they had it won, and boy have they been triggered.

Speaker 33 (02:04:08):
Who this could break me and my parents the part
because they just don't understand what they voted for, like
what it means, and.

Speaker 47 (02:04:19):
The bigotry and hatred that they stand by.

Speaker 7 (02:04:23):
That TikToker I unbelievably from Texas losing her mind overnight.
Maybe she should blame the Democrat machine.

Speaker 11 (02:04:33):
Bravo to the Democrat machine to make this race competitive
because she came out of nowhere.

Speaker 46 (02:04:39):
No one knows who she is, she didn't run a
very specific campaign, and she is making it.

Speaker 1 (02:04:43):
They are making it a very competitive race.

Speaker 7 (02:04:47):
Fox's Jesse Waters investors are loving these election results futures
up a whopping eleven hundred points overnight, and at the
last look, which was for me about an hour ago,
the Dow was up over to twelve hundred and fifty.
Our international allies, some of them anyway, publicly cheering Trump's victory.

Speaker 26 (02:05:07):
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer among the first to publicly
congratulate Donald Trump, calling it a historic election victory. PM
Starmer and former President Trump eight together. Last month, the
Republican reportedly telling the much more liberal brit that you
and I are friends. NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutta posted
on exit Donald Trump's leadership will be key to keeping

(02:05:30):
our alliance strong. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nittsanyaho heild the
huge victory and a true friendship.

Speaker 7 (02:05:37):
Jonathan Savage reporting there now seven oh five here at home.
Incumbent Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz he won his third term,
defeating Democrat challenger Colin Alred, and he called out Senate
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for his lack of help in
that effort.

Speaker 13 (02:05:53):
Well, I want to say thank you, Chuck, and I
hope we win ai you have more Senate seats tonight
because you wasted so much money.

Speaker 7 (02:06:03):
In Texas, Yeah, Cruz winning by nearly ten points. He
helped the Republicans gain control of the Senate. A big
flip came though, in Ohio, where Bernie Marino beat the
incumbent Sheried Brown.

Speaker 17 (02:06:17):
Chuck Schumer, if you're watching, thanks for the helping the primary,
but you're fired, buddy.

Speaker 7 (02:06:21):
The GOP also flipped West Virginia, Democrat Joe Mansions seat
Republican Jim Justice, winning there as Mansion is retiring. The
balance of power in the House still not settled, but
Republicans lead with nearly two hundred seats. Among the Texas
Republicans who won, thirty year old Branding Gill. Guess what.
He's the son in law of a conservative commentator we've

(02:06:43):
had on our air Denish Jesuza. Seven oh six is
our time. Some local races still waiting to be called
this morning.

Speaker 14 (02:06:53):
Democrat Seawn Tier only leads Republican Dan Simon's and the
Harris County Day's race by twenty three thousand votes. And
we still don't know about judicial races in the county.
But there are ten Republicans leading their Democrat opponents as
of this morning, those races are tight, as is the
Fort Benn County Sheriff's race between the incumbent Eric Fagan
and Challenger Marshall. Slought that race within one thousand votes.

(02:07:18):
Cliff Saunders News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (02:07:21):
Yeah, Republicans statewide, it was a big win for them.
Christy Krattick defeated three other opponents who remained the railroad commissioner,
amongst state lawmakers, winning re election Senator Paul Bettencore Senator
Joan Hoffman, State Rep. Briscoe Kine from Deer Park. He's
won another term in Austin and on the Democrats side,
while the incumbent Anne Johnson won her state House seat.

(02:07:45):
Now the election's over, are we finally going to see
the Democrats toned down their rhetoric and stop calling Republicans
and supporters of Trump Nazis.

Speaker 17 (02:07:55):
They do have an ability to say, we're all Americans first.
We're not our ethnicity or our religion or where we
grew up. You know, we're all Americans today. So there
is an opportunity TODA.

Speaker 7 (02:08:06):
Political strategist Chris Johnson there. He told us that unfortunately
Democrats make a lot of money with political division, don't
expect unity to happen overnight. Recapping our top story, Donald
Trump will return to the White House. He won the
presidency over Kamala Harris. Swing states helped, Yeah, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia,
North Carolina. We've got Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada still out.

(02:08:30):
Trump leads Harris in the popular vote to about five
million votes ahead of her. Right now, I'm shereber Fryar
on news radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 1 (02:08:39):
Hi, let's talk radio all the time.

Speaker 5 (02:08:41):
The world doesn't wait for you to clock out.

Speaker 12 (02:08:43):
Usually have it on all day.

Speaker 3 (02:08:44):
At work, So check in office day up todate with
US Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 18 (02:08:51):
Right, well, here's your chance, Democrat Party.

Speaker 4 (02:08:54):
Is it time to shift way further to the middle,
The time to give up on your leftist dream? Means
Kevin o'larry, I think is an eternal optimist. Then again,
he's Canadian. He's an eternal optimisty. He thinks this is
a unique, good, great opportunity in fact, for the Democrats
to rebrand.

Speaker 11 (02:09:11):
I'm going to stay on this theme for a moment
and call this perhaps the greatest night the Democratic Party
can ever have if they lose, and let me explain
that I was very troubled just over one hundred days
ago when they circumvented the democratic process and anointed somebody.
The analogy is easy to a super Bowl. You arrive
at the super Bowl game, and by any measure, this

(02:09:34):
is the super Bowl of global politics, the presidential race.
Your quarterback, Biden is injured, he's taken out of the game.

Speaker 1 (02:09:42):
You don't bring a quarterback.

Speaker 11 (02:09:44):
In that's never ever, ever won any game anywhere you
run a process.

Speaker 1 (02:09:50):
And they missed that opportunity.

Speaker 11 (02:09:51):
This is a chance for them to I'm not saying
they're going to lose, but I'm going to those percentages
and saying they get to reboot, They get to go
back to the center, They.

Speaker 1 (02:10:00):
Get to scratch this whole thing.

Speaker 11 (02:10:02):
And the influences of a Shoom or a Polosi or
a movie star or an Obama deciding to anoy somebody,
those guys are gone in four years. They won't have
that kind of influence. This could be great for America.
Because I'm an investor, I have to work with who's
ever in the White House in January.

Speaker 1 (02:10:22):
But I care about policy.

Speaker 11 (02:10:25):
And when I hear policies coming out of a party
that are so twisted against the American way of life,
like basically taxing capital gains that are unrealized, that's not America.
Or price controls, that's not America. Twenty eight percent tax
rate takes us to the bottom quart helth competition. That's bad.

(02:10:47):
We can't do that. That would hurt the country. And
all I do is work with entrepreneurs that want to
build businesses.

Speaker 1 (02:10:52):
There's a reason.

Speaker 11 (02:10:54):
People come here under bob wire and drowning rivers to
get into America.

Speaker 1 (02:10:57):
It's the American dream.

Speaker 11 (02:10:59):
It's the only thing the president has to do is
to maintain it. Those policies are against the American dream.

Speaker 4 (02:11:05):
Yes they are, and Americans realized that, which is why
Trump won and not only won the electoral college vote,
won the part of the vote handily. It looks like
about three and a half percent.

Speaker 7 (02:11:15):
Yeah, I think it's going to be very interesting to
see how the religious vote came out this time, because
I think they did. You know, they represent between Catholics
and Evangelical Christians. Yeah, that's thirty eight percent the American population.

Speaker 4 (02:11:29):
Evangelicals in particular are well known for not showing up
so that would be good to see if they finally did.

Speaker 7 (02:11:34):
It'll be very interesting to see that breakdown.

Speaker 4 (02:11:36):
That's for sure. Seven eleven. Time for traffic and weather together.
What's happened in sky, Mike?

Speaker 6 (02:11:40):
Oh, kind of hooplot on the Golf Freeway this time
we have Okay, so we've got some roadwork. Tammy from
TV tells me she thinks that's potholes that they're fixing.
Golf Freeway northbound right in front of home depot. They've
taken out two left lines that suirs quistion us up
from Edgebrook inbound then outbound.

Speaker 5 (02:11:55):
You got to stall right at the loop. Nobody wants that.

Speaker 6 (02:11:58):
Downtown clear the east text the Big George southbound backups
from Collingsworth northwest Andrew from Cyprus.

Speaker 17 (02:12:04):
Dude, Hey, Sky Mike's not on the Grand Parkway ninety nine.

Speaker 9 (02:12:08):
It's westbound ninety westbounde.

Speaker 5 (02:12:12):
Oh oh, okay, okay, let's see.

Speaker 6 (02:12:14):
I've had an hour asleep. Guys that I called it
Grand Parkway at two ninety. It's actually two ninety. Inbound
Tariff from Brenham talk to me.

Speaker 20 (02:12:22):
Hey, there's westbound. There is a bad accident.

Speaker 40 (02:12:26):
Parts of those are venders are already on the scene.

Speaker 6 (02:12:29):
All right, we're gonna call that two ninety westbound outbound
at Grand Parkway. Watch out for the overturned east text
blake from New Caney.

Speaker 20 (02:12:36):
Dude's head down fifty nine from ninety nine to the
boat away, just usual slowdown on fifty nine. God bless America,
God bless Texas, and God bless Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 (02:12:47):
I think he just wrote a country song there, Jimmy,
Skymike and the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center. Besides
this being a wonderful morning, Terry, I think I have
straight hair.

Speaker 4 (02:12:56):
Love the way he forgot Mama trains in his truck
silk until until he throws that in and at a
country song from our KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four
hour Weathers theentre, Terry Smith is here, little sunshine already
peeking through those Cloudsdery, Oh good.

Speaker 21 (02:13:12):
Yeah, We've we've had a little bit in the way
of some clouds. But the dryer air is on the way,
along with Skymike's straighter hair, and thank probably not the
only one.

Speaker 1 (02:13:21):
So yeah, but here's the deal.

Speaker 21 (02:13:23):
Though this dry day does not last past today, We've
got more rain on the way thanks to that front
making its way back into southeast Texas tomorrow. Today, though
with the blue skies, it's going to be a warm afternoon.
Nothing out of control, though, low eighties today and tomorrow.
We do have a forty percent chance of showers and storms, litter,

(02:13:43):
mid eighties tomorrow, forty percent chance of more rain Friday,
fifty percent chances of those showers and storms Saturday, and
still a thirty percent chance you might get wet Sunday.

Speaker 4 (02:13:53):
Jepp At, you're right now, still sixty five in your
official severe weather station. News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (02:14:00):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy and Shera with the
info you need to take.

Speaker 1 (02:14:08):
On the day. Seven twenty two's hard time.

Speaker 4 (02:14:12):
I think that songs have proper you know what you
hear that song from sher The impressions were a winner.
Nineteen sixty eight.

Speaker 7 (02:14:19):
What is I'd like to say it was before my time?
What was young?

Speaker 4 (02:14:24):
I understand? What is the thing that last night in
nineteen sixty eight ave in common great comebacks by politicians? Yeah,
Richard M. Nixon, you know, dead after losing the California
goodman to toil race came back to become president, and
Donald Trump becomes the first man since Grover Cleveland, you know,

(02:14:47):
many over, well over one hundred years ago.

Speaker 7 (02:14:49):
Well, Nixon also lost to Kennedy.

Speaker 18 (02:14:51):
Do you forget that? That's true too.

Speaker 7 (02:14:53):
LOI hours and decided not to contest.

Speaker 4 (02:14:55):
So let's ask Chris Pagalo, is this officially make Donald
Trump one of the greatest political comebacks of all time?

Speaker 31 (02:15:02):
You know, the greatest of all times. There's absolutely no doubt.
I mean, this dwarfs what Nixon did in sixty eight.
And what's incredible is that, you know, oftentimes with historic
events you need a little bit of distance, you need
to think about it and kind of coalesce and analyze.

(02:15:22):
There's no analyzing. This is absolutely unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (02:15:29):
What they did to this man.

Speaker 31 (02:15:31):
They tried to put him in prison, he was shot
at They forced him to go to Georgia for mugshots.
Thirty seven federal indictments, which is there are joke. We
could go on and on and on. And he comes
up with what is a landslide victory, you know, fifty

(02:15:52):
one percent of the vote. He wins by five million and.

Speaker 7 (02:15:57):
Counting, and counting hate. I have to add this. Fox
just called another Senate flip for the Republicans. She he
has beat the uncombent Democrat tester in Montana.

Speaker 5 (02:16:08):
There you go.

Speaker 7 (02:16:09):
So that's a fifty two count now in the Senate.

Speaker 31 (02:16:13):
Fifty two and Casey is losing. McCormick is beating Casey
in Pennsylvania. Now that's going to have to be a
recount barely. It's like seventy two, seventy three thousand, so
it could be fifty three there, it could be. The
Republicans look like they're leading in the House, I hope. So,
so we don't have all these faux you know, impeachments.

(02:16:33):
But you cannot overstate the incredible victory of Donald Trump
and this country all across the nation saying, you know what,
he might be a little quirky, he's crazy, but he
loves this country and we want him to lead us. Economically,

(02:16:56):
we're going to do better. I mean, look at what
has occurred, and look what we're on the verge unity
calls from the Democrats who called him Hitler a couple
of days ago. I mean, it is incredible, and it's
it gives this country a chance to come back.

Speaker 7 (02:17:16):
He promises the not just the greatest comeback, this, he
promises the greatest move forward, the greatest renaissance. The guy's
not going to sit back. He wasn't dancing last night.
He's already geared up for what he's going to do
on day one. Promise made, promise kept.

Speaker 31 (02:17:32):
Oh he's up right now. You've probably got a hour's
worth of sleep. Max, and and and yes, it is
something he No matter what you think about him, there's
no reason he did this. He's a multi billionaire, could
have been on his yacht, could have been on a
Caribbean island somewhere. He loves this country. And again, love

(02:17:54):
him or hate him, I don't care. One has to
take a step back and say, this was absolutely amazing.
And in the mandate that he has across.

Speaker 1 (02:18:04):
I mean, look at the young vote.

Speaker 31 (02:18:06):
But Biden was up twenty five points in twenty twenty
for voters under thirty, Harris only barely eight. We could
go across the board. African American turnout down because they
did not go out and vote for Harris. But the
African American vote for Trump was historic. We could go
on and on. It is simply astounding.

Speaker 4 (02:18:29):
Let me let me ask you this as a final question, Chris,
and that is about the Rhino element of the Republican Party,
the Chineese of the world, the Bett Bromney's of the world.
Does this finally bring them over to the Maga movement
or are they just impossible to convince?

Speaker 31 (02:18:43):
No, they're out in the hinderlands and they have been
Jimmy for four to eight years. You know, this man,
Donald Trump has rewritten the rules and he has rewritten
his mandate. I don't even know if you could call
it a Republican Party. He's taking a majority of this
nation along with him and his coattails for what he

(02:19:07):
wants to do for this country. It is over as
far as all these rhinos and the MAGA haters. I
think the dams are going to come up with some
type of crazy scenario Russia in interference or something like
that to pedal for a while. Don't think it's not
going to happen. It is, but it's going to just
fall like a feather because people want to see what

(02:19:32):
this individual is going to do Donald Trump for this country.
I think we had a glimpse of it four years ago.
I think he's going to be even more effective because
he's going to have the House and the Senate, and
it is I think it's good for this country. And
if you hate him, get out of the way, because
it's happened.

Speaker 4 (02:19:50):
All right, Chris, Thanks has always been good to talk
to you. Chris Bagala. We will mention Michelle Obama. We'll
just enjoy today. It is time to take a look
at your money. Here's Jeff Bellinger and.

Speaker 37 (02:20:01):

suite for Republicans in Congress, although we're still concerned about
the House no concession speech from Kamala fact, nobody's seen
her or heard from her. And coming up at seven
thirty eight, what it sounded like when they called the

(02:20:55):
race on Fox. Details in the minutes ahead, you're in
Houston's Morning News. First, we're checking out that morning drive
once again. Here's sky Mike.

Speaker 5 (02:21:44):
And we're keep an eye on the golf though.

Speaker 4 (02:21:45):
I know that Terry is we'll ask her once again
about rape al when we talked to her in eight minutes.
Right now, temperature is sixty five at your official severe
weather station, News Radio seven forty k TRH. It's time
for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 7 (02:21:59):
Good morning, seven thirty two on news radio seven forty
ktr H. In our top story this hour.

Speaker 8 (02:22:05):
It's time to unite and we're going to try.

Speaker 1 (02:22:08):
We're going to try.

Speaker 8 (02:22:09):
We have to try, and it's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (02:22:12):
Success will bring us together.

Speaker 7 (02:22:13):
I've seen that Donald trupped declaring victory just about one
am our time this morning, after winning the battleground states
of Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He also won North Carolina
and is leading in Michigan and Nevada.

Speaker 35 (02:22:29):
I am so excited, boy, I'll tell you I'm a believer.
It was was exciting to see this happen.

Speaker 5 (02:22:36):
It needed to happen. I think the American people got
it right.

Speaker 7 (02:22:40):
RNC Committeemen doctor Robin Armstrong on Houston's Morning News. Harris
has yet to concede, however, and didn't even bother to
talk to her supporters last night, who had gathered in Washington,
d C. As it appears it will be a clean
sweep for Trump and the GOP. Republicans have won almost
two hundred seats in the House, with two hundred and

(02:23:00):
eighteen needed to keep control, their chances of doing so
now being at about sixty five percent. According to Fox
This Morning. Several Texas Republicans won re election to the House,
including Dan Crenshaw, Morgan Lutrelle, Randy Webber, Troy Nells, and
Wesley Hunt. Myra Flores lost, however, to the Democrat, the
Centi Gonzales, in his seat that Republicans were hoping to flip.

(02:23:24):
It was a rematch from two years ago. GOP also
gains control of the Senate after flipping seats in Ohio,
West Virginia, and just now Montana. Another big one about
to turn as well in Pennsylvania too.

Speaker 24 (02:23:40):
This election night's not quite over, but about eighty five
percent of the vote is in, and we've looked at
where all the rest of it coming, and it looks
like we're headed in.

Speaker 1 (02:23:50):
A very good direction.

Speaker 7 (02:23:53):
Yeah, Republican Dave McCormick has the lead on incumbent Democrat
Bob Casey there in Pennsylvania, however, all the vote isn't
in and there will probably be demands for a recount.
So much for media hype.

Speaker 33 (02:24:06):
Though.

Speaker 7 (02:24:06):
Texas Senator Ted Cruz didn't just beat Colin already. It
was a blowout by ten points.

Speaker 25 (02:24:12):
Night I called Sandra Cruz and congratulated him on his victory.
And you know, it shouldn't be remarkable to have to
admit defeat all.

Speaker 7 (02:24:25):
Red's concession speech. Now Cruz clearly benefiting from Donald Trump's
fourteen point win in the state of Texas. Seven thirty
four is our time. It was a major loss for
the soft on crime prosecutor. Out in California, know the
La County District Attorney George Gascon was defeated by Republican
turned independent Nathan Hoffman. It was a twenty point loss

(02:24:48):
for Gascon. Surprise developing maybe here in Harris County two.
There's no winner declared yet in the DA race district
attorney between the Democrat Seawan tier and Republican Dan Simons.
Tierre told our TV partner Channel two that he was
counting on the late coming numbers, but so far it
hasn't happened. His lead remains only twenty three thousand tiers,

(02:25:12):
with several precincts still not reported. No call yet either
In the Texas has or collector race here between Harris
County between Steve Raddick and the Democrat Annette Ramirez, Ramirez
has about a thirty thousand vote lead at the moment.
Tom Ramsey has one re election as precinctree commissioner, and
over in Fort Bink County the incumbent Sheriff Eric Fagan

(02:25:33):
and Marshall Slott. It's still too close to call. Fagan
leads by less than a thousand votes. And we're keeping
an eye on judicial races. In Harris County. Republican candidates
are leading in ten district courts, one county court, one
Justice of the Peace race. Republicans did sweep the statewide
judicial elections, however, and Christocratic retained her seat on the

(02:25:55):
Texas Railroad Commission. As for those federal election monitors that
were supposed to come to Texas said they were, well,
they didn't. They were enjoined from doing so by a
court and scared off by the lawsuit filed by the
state Attorney General Ken Paxton. It's now seven thirty six.

(02:26:15):
You could say the left of shell shocked by Trump's victory,
but Fox's exit polling suggested you should have seen it coming.
Only thirteen percent said they were getting ahead financially in
the Biden Harris economy. Thirteen percent of voters, now that
the votes are counted, get ready for the lawsuits, so
David Gelman with the Trump legal team tells Kagi or
each they are ready either way.

Speaker 43 (02:26:38):
We know these issues are going to happen, so we
are prepared for that. Unlike in twenty twenty, when I
don't think we were nearly as prepared as we should
have been.

Speaker 5 (02:26:47):
Now it's a total game.

Speaker 7 (02:26:48):
Changer, he says. The game starts with the challenging court
at the state level first, so election days behind us,
attention turning towards our southern border, yet another mass surge
of illegal aliens expected to invade.

Speaker 16 (02:27:03):
We could wind up with bigger numbers than anything we've
seen over the last year.

Speaker 50 (02:27:07):
And this is probably the most predictable caravan of them all.
Many people said that, you know, once we get close
with the election is probably gonna be a mass wave
of migration that's coming to the United States.

Speaker 16 (02:27:16):
Immigration expert John Humyer told Fox News this caravan is
just as crime written as previous ones.

Speaker 50 (02:27:21):
By allowing these criminals in terrists to infiltrate these migrant networks.
You know who's actually paying the price for that first,
the migrants. They're the ones that are actually getting abused, exploited.

Speaker 16 (02:27:30):
Texas DPS officials have said that they're monitoring the situation
and they're ready for the surge of illegals. Ethan Buchanan,

Time in my estamation seven thirty eight. Yes, I'd go, yes, Yes,
I'm saying it. I know there's a lot of great
country saying Buck better than Buck Owens. George, there's nonna
be better than George Jones. Oh is that George Jones?

Speaker 7 (02:28:07):
See I grew up listening to the Buck Owens show
on my dad was yeah, yeah, I thought that's why
I know all the words.

Speaker 18 (02:28:16):
Yeah, well yeah, because you heard it on He Hall.

Speaker 7 (02:28:18):
You wou'd you have to go with you? You know
I would have except that my favorite was Ernest tub
both of them Taxans.

Speaker 4 (02:28:24):
Yes, it's a tough one, but I you know what,
there just wasn't anybody more soulful than George Jones. I
mean he I mean he's a soulful country singer. Well,
I mean, you know, he sang with a lot of them.
I mean there's a motion, there's feelings.

Speaker 7 (02:28:38):
Ernest Tubb changed the direction of country music. He made
it honky talk. Before that, it had been bluegrass. All right,
I called a tie, not a reason for everything?

Speaker 30 (02:28:49):
I know you do.

Speaker 4 (02:28:50):
I'm playing, we're playing highlights this morning, and we're enjoying
the hell out of them. Already played when they when
they called on Fox Fox, by the way, it was
the first to call the presidential election. Kudos them for
doing it. It took CNN another three and a half
hours before they could somehow come off of their grief
cycle in order to be able to make the call.
The Associated Press same thing. All the left leaning media

(02:29:10):
had a really hard time. They had to wait hours
before they could call it because the bread it was wrong.

Speaker 7 (02:29:15):
And the left leaners on Fox didn't look happy.

Speaker 4 (02:29:18):
No, probably not, but here's how they called the center brace.
By the way, they were the first to do that too.

Speaker 1 (02:29:22):
We start this hour with a major announcement. This election
has changed the state of play in America.

Speaker 22 (02:29:30):
Decision Desk HQ projects the GOP has won a majority
of seats in the next Senate.

Speaker 1 (02:29:38):
Big implication, Why Supreme Court? Why else? Legislative agenda.

Speaker 16 (02:29:45):
This is going to be a big deal and it
is a reflection of how America decided to choose in
twenty twenty four.

Speaker 19 (02:29:54):
So we don't know if the number is going to
be fifty three fifty four.

Speaker 18 (02:30:00):
By the way, that I bespoke, that was not Fox,
that was News Nation. You know who that was that voice?

Speaker 4 (02:30:05):
Something there to you, Chris Cuomo, Chris Guilmo, How hard
do you think it was for him to say that
he's he's gone all neutral now he's sort of rebranded
himself as being neutral. He did his best on that
seven forty. Time for traffic and whether it's people are
like the Washington Poe La time people try.

Speaker 6 (02:30:26):
The people on ABC News look like they've been listening
to some sad.

Speaker 1 (02:30:29):
George Jones, do their eyes look a little red?

Speaker 18 (02:30:31):
Had they been crying a little bit?

Speaker 5 (02:30:33):
Let's go.

Speaker 6 (02:30:34):
First of all, I got to say hi to Rape

Houston traffic. You can listen on the free iHeartRadio app.

airport and it's backing everybody back from Griggs.

of this because we're running out of time, but here
is part of Donald Trump's acceptance speech last night.

Speaker 5 (02:34:51):
I want to thank you all very much.

Speaker 30 (02:34:53):
This is great.

Speaker 8 (02:34:54):
These are our friends. We have thousands of friends in
this incredible movement. This was a movement like nobody's ever
seen before. And frankly, this was I believe the greatest
political movement of all time.

Speaker 1 (02:35:14):
There's ever been.

Speaker 5 (02:35:15):
Anything like this in this country and maybe beyond.

Speaker 8 (02:35:20):
And now it's going to reach a new level of
importance because we're going to help our country heal.

Speaker 1 (02:35:28):
We're going to help our country here.

Speaker 8 (02:35:29):
We have a country that needs help, and these help
very badly. We're going to fix our borders, We're going
to fix everything about our country. And we made history
for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to
be just that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible,

(02:35:50):
and it is now clear that we've achieved the most
incredible political thing.

Speaker 1 (02:35:56):
Look what happened?

Speaker 25 (02:35:57):
Is this crazy?

Speaker 8 (02:36:04):
When it's a political victory that our country has ever
seen before, nothing like this. I want to thank the
American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your
forty seventh president and your forty fifth president, and every citizen.

(02:36:26):
I will fight for you, for your family, and your future.
Every single day I will be fighting for you, and
with every breath in my body, I will not rest
until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America
that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will

(02:36:47):
truly be the golden age of America.

Speaker 45 (02:36:50):
That's what we have to do.

Speaker 8 (02:36:56):
This is a magnificent victory for the American people that
will allow us to maybe America great again.

Speaker 4 (02:37:06):
And of course he went on from there, you know,
as he's saying that, I'm I'm I'm reminded. You know,
I think we those of us have been around for
a while, get reminded of other elections in the past
and what they remind you of that reminds me very
much of the stark difference and vision between Jimmy Carter
and Ronald Reagan. This what Ronald Reagan into power, you know,
the return we as a country. Back then we lost

(02:37:29):
our we lost our pride.

Speaker 7 (02:37:30):
And we had American hostages in Iranah were over three
hundred and sixty something days.

Speaker 4 (02:37:36):
Ronald Reagan restored our pride and I think it's the
same sort of thing this time. Donald Trump is is
going to return the pride we have in being Americans,
and we really need that right now and put us
on the right path. Listen, we've had a great time
being with you today.

Speaker 28 (02:37:51):
Yeah we have.

Speaker 7 (02:37:52):
We've got more stuff ahead.

Speaker 4 (02:37:54):
Oh yeah, get ready by tomorrow here tomorrow will be
talking lawsuits and lords dancing.

Speaker 7 (02:37:59):

for more. We'll see tomorrow morning, bright and nearly five am.
I'll see the SAT from at four and am nine
